Catherine Field: Europe Correspondent on the state of the Seine ahead of the Paris Olympics

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Thursdays

The river Seine isn't as clean as officials would've hoped ahead of the Paris Olympics.  Many have expressed concerns over the state of the waterway which will also play a major role in the opening ceremony, where teams will float downstream in barges.  Europe correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that there's twice the maximum volume of e-coli in the water.  She says nearly $2.4 billion has been spent trying to clean up the river in the past decade.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
