Without even watching this segment, I will throw a bit of "whataboutism", and ask: Was the Qatar Football World Cup in 2022 worth it? The death of 100+ workers building 7 completely new stadiums used today at about 10% of their capacity?

It's amazing that France has no money for social projects but somehow plenty of money for the Olympics.

This is what's happening in Bangladesh right now! General students protesting against the quota issue are facing attacks. We urge national and international journalists to bring attention to this pressing issue and cover the ongoing situation comprehensively.

Why is everyone seeming to be bitching about something? Is it just me, or is this getting out of hand?

1. Come illegaly to a country 2. Life of social help 3. Complains of no help from the government 4. Repeat Are those people think dollars is coming from trees?

So when the Olympics is over, you can be sure those cameras will remain

I've been to Paris several times in the summer; the crowding was biblical. I can't imagine what it will be like during the O. I can think of 20 places I'd rather be. I don't really understand the need for the Olympics--there are so many more important things to work on in society.

I have enjoyed some quality documentary from this channel in the past. This report seems bias, every Olympic cities faced such challenges before, environment, housing, budget etc. France requested 4 foreign country police foreces from UK, Spain, Germany and Qatar for the Olympic security. It'll be nice to see report from that prospective. Have this channel show us how the Doha world cup stadium was built by cheap labor under the heat? Snd how they were mistreated?

If you are working find yourself sick on the days Israel (the Apartheid government) plays any games. How dare they tell Russia NOT to come yet invite Israel. Disgusting

Good Luck to the Olympic Games and to the people of France. Keep hope and love alive. Let humanity survive 🌈❤️.

Hey please cover Bangladesh quota movement news 1000s of students are getting hurt

Plzz,do focus on Dhaka, Bangladesh..

What is a Japanese person doing in Paris/France ?, anywhere in Japan would be better than France..

Five weeks housing is clearly designed to gentrify the streets because of the games.

Olympics lost it's proper charm and meaning decades ago, they are just about show, money no proper sportsmanship anymore 😢😢😢

1st : there is that much migrants in France because the social state is attractive. No worries. 2nd : the bottom line of the video is that french people should refrain from organizing Olympics - through modernization of the poorest places - because non-french, or "recently french people", are not happy with the works and changes. In which reasonable country do you see migrants imposing their views on locals ? In Qatar maybe, Al Jazeera ? Let's be serious 5 minutes. Showing a little protest of 50 people to pretend there's resentment among the population. I live in Paris and I had to watch Al Jazeera to hear that there's resentment for the first time !

I have nausea when I hear french language spoken by french

France 🇫🇷 woke up

This isn't exclusive to these Olympics, it happens in most , if not all host cities. The next summer Olympics are in Los Angeles in 2028 . There's a major homeless population there too and I expect the same thing to happen there. It's so sad. It'd be nice if people could at least get jobs and housing to help with the construction instead of just being pushed out. There has to be a better way.
