The ruling UMP shows its mettle, even as the grass-roots face the cold shoulder in the wintry weather. Meanwhile, the far-right candidate, Marine Le Pen, wants to be treated like any other party...as well as wanting special treatment. And we meet a scientist who fears that changes to the funding of research risk causing a brain-drain.

Programme prepared by Lise Barcellini, Luke Brown, Charlène Pelé, Gary Schimmel-Bauer and Nathalie Tourret.
