This is a media event: the two news magazines from France 2, "Special Envoy" and "Complement of Inquiry" will merge into one single program this Thursday evening. A device that has so far only happened once, in November 2015 after the tragic attacks of the Bataclan. The title of this exceptional evening: "Coronavirus: state of emergency" with on the program of investigations, reports, guests, all presented live by Elise Lucet and Jacques Cardoze.
Guests of Culture Media on Europe 1, the two presenters explain that they wanted to "write the show together", unlike 2015 when the two programs followed each other. It will therefore be presented jointly by the two figures in the chain.
"We absolutely respect barrier gestures"
"In relation to all the information from France Télévisions, through the news, from Franceinfo.fr, there, the idea is to take a step back to better understand this unprecedented crisis which is upsetting our lives for all", comments Elise Lucet who ensures that all the precautions have been taken by the teams of the two magazines: "We are very careful because we can be vectors of contamination ourselves or be contaminated so we absolutely respect all barrier gestures".

The teams sent to the field therefore left for two only, by car, with one in front and the other behind, while respecting the distance of two meters during witness interviews, thanks to microphones poles for placing further. "It is a sense of responsibility which is very strong for the whole group France televisions and what we apply for magazines, applies to all reporters of the group", she adds, adding that the reports abroad were carried out by correspondents or journalists living there for a long time.
Reporting and investigation
The show therefore gives pride of place to the report with, to start the program, subjects going to meet the people who face the coronavirus every day at work. The teams thus carried out a report in Colmar in Haut-Rhin for more than eight days: "There, what is strong, it is that we live with them this battle, this courage, this implication, this mobilization of the teams caring and giving us hope. We live it, tonight, in the long court with all the questions they ask, all the serious cases they face, "says Elise Lucet.

Jacques Cardoze abounds: "The striking force of a program like this is that we think we have seen everything and when we juxtapose, that we take a step back, when we say to the teams' you have time to "Investigate", we get a whole different perspective on this crisis and it is still the first evening devoted to this crisis with reports, investigation, and investigation.

The third part of the show will be devoted to this question: "Are we going to another world where we will have to be more watched to organize our health security and at what price?" Wonders Elise Lucet.
