French planning 'dirty protest' against Paris Olympics by pooping in the Seine

UK correspondent Adam Gilchrist chats with Bongani Bingwa.

There is a massive clean-up of the River Seine ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics in France. 

"Both President Emmanuel Macron and the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, have promised they will swim in the river to prove that the clean-up has worked."

However, many Parisians are unhappy.

"Many are saying the river cannot just be cleaned up for the Olympics. What about the rest of the year?"

On the day the president and mayor are due to dive into the Seine, a group has planned a demonstration to counter this called #JeChieDansLaSeineLe23Juin, which translates to 'I sh*# in the Seine on June 23'.

"Only the French make something worse to prove it's already bad."
