Paris: Life after the Charlie Hebdo attacks

 
Click HERE for podcast....
A very good discussion from a BBC programme on freedom of speech in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo incident in Paris......u can relate this to the recent  Amos Yee episode, where a balance needs to be struck btw freedom of speech and the potential to cause offence. Quite a few stuff here useful for your essay an quite thought-provoking....Note the penetrating (and aggressive?)  interjections that provide huge insights by the BBC moderator.
Most of the speakers here are reasonably competent in spoken English but I think they are French nationals, .....so the one you need to focus on for good spoken English is the BBC personnel chairing the sharing session....she has got impeccable diction!
