- A nasty controversy is brewing in Olympic waters with one month until the Paris opening ceremony. Les Carpenter, Olympics reporter for The Washington Post, joins CBS News to explain why the city's iconic Seine River is still falling short of the requirements needed before athletes dive in.

the fact that there are no fish in that river tells you everything you need to know.
my father worked for the water district in maine for years, fish help clean the river as well
What makes you think there are no fish? There are 30+ species of fish living in Parisian section of the Seine
there are fish in the water.
Why does it take the olympics to keep your main source of water and main feature of your country/city clean?
Centuries of using the river as a human toilet not even from sewage pipes people just did it straight in
When there is a big rainstorm in New York City the same thing happens. Rainwater runoff and street garbage mixes with sewage and flows into the ocean. Doesn’t just happen in Europe.
Ambitious goal they set. I applaud the effort.
The River Thames in London is also very polluted. So are all the rivers and the sea. No one does anything to clean it. Disgusting....😮
I know right, all those fish peeing and pooping with no consideration for anyone else.
Europe's rivers are gross.
And the gold medal for Triathlon goes to Andy Dufresne.
Think the Seine is filthy now add all the waste from 300,000+ visitors/spectators.
The french already do that
I hope they can clean it up but they should have a backup. No cheating russians this time.
Parisians are shitting in it in protest.
Government pushed all manure from farmers’ protests into Seine.
Rectal Partisanz
Did you need to post something like that?
You made my day, I am in good company! Oui! (some people have no sense of humor)
@@andyroo9381no there’s actually a movement
I'm not swimming in that nasty water.
Nasty nasty water.
well yeah you can't really swim so...
Your not an Olympian so don't worry
did someone ask you to?
@@johnhaxby306 your mom did, she didn't tell you?
Paris Olympics will be a disastrous. No AC and contaminated water and hot summer.
Oh, thank you for these wise words - let’s call the whole thing off.
Hearing the plans for the 2024 Olympics reminds me a lot of the movie "Under Paris" on Netflix.
The Seine is a truly democratic toilet. Everyone gets to contribute.
Glad they're getting attention. They've taken the real natural river out of that body of water. Its concrete and run off. Rivers need to flow naturally with trees and wild life for it to be able to manage itself and stay clean. Rivers need to be cleaner. People can manage waste better. I wouldn't swim in that either.
No matter what you do.
A river going through the middle of a city will never be clean!
Rats and vermins walking by the hedge of the river, water from streets, when raining will inevitably leak down to the river, no matter what you build to collect water, there's always spillage over.
Visit Singapore, they did that with concrete base rivers
1.5 billion to clean the river !! They could have built a stadium instead
A different 1.5 billion was used for that.
I’m glad they are spending money to clean up the river - benefits a lot more people than Olympic entertainment.
Its sad that human activity is killing rivers!
These days I'd be afraid to put my toe into the water at Orchard Beach here in the beautiful Bronx. So good luck to these folks, I hope you enjoy yourselves. Give my regards to the Eiffel Tower.
eau de toilet am I right
If you see Casey you should ask him what he thinks about the river in Paris and the Summer Olympics coming up
Is there a plan B? 🤢
They can move the event. Or give all the athletes shots of antibiotics ahead of the event. 😂
Why not use the beach? Even the Surfing competition is held at Tahiti
If they can clean the toxic Lake Apopka and make it now thrive, I’m sure they can clean this river
But, are there any sharks in the river? That's the real question.
There sure is according to the new Netflix movie “Under Paris” 😮
If this was a city in India, they would be bottling, labeling and drinking😂😂😂
my local river was definitely bad in the summer. seems the playboaters have baced off summer paddles substantially. to be on the safe side i used to moutghwash with southern comfort 100 proof then take a swig to clean my throat. at least it kept those spots clean without issues
I went to Paris last month and even took a trip on Seine and water didnt look much better than in other european capitols. But stream was pretty strong there.
"I think everyone's kinda holding their breath wondering how this is gonna come out."
Yeah, especially if you're swimming IN THE SEINE!
It will be a beautiful Olympics 2024. PARIS!
What about the Paralympics? No mention whatsoever.
This has to be the dumbest and expensive idea I have ever heard.
3:11 A Du-Athlon? why not just say “biathlon”? 😂
Ok. Now I get the movie Under Paris. It seemed kinda meh, but it's actually a commentary on a real upcoming event.
there was probably ecoli there before the paris poop protest.
Standard French project
The Seine is always pure sewage water. So gross! Do not swim there!
Hopefully they’ll keep working on this issue post-Olympics.
Didn't 50,000 people just deuce in it the other day 😂? That's what I heard on Oliver's show 😆.
Quelle surprise…
humans will still do iit
Where else would they dump their sewage and waste water?
I'm glad I'm not swimming gin the olympics this year
Parisians dumping loads in the river.
Oh no! Not too much ecoli! You want just the right amount of it.
😡People should boycott 2024 Paris Olympics.
So Says Putin #Fool
@@BlueJazzBoyNZIndeed. Fortunately no one will listen to either of them.
What the hell Olympic event involves swimming in a river/lake? Never even heard of such a thing. All these new Olympic events some of them are just ridiculous.
Triathalons are always like that, man. So are the very long distance swimming events. Every time, man. Every time. Nothing new. Not sure how many times it's been in a river, but it's always open water.
This has been around since the dawn of it
Okay Mr. dinosaur.
It was an stupid idea from the begining.
lol
Died to you guys in a game yesterday first time I’ve seen a streamer in game lol. We were the team hiding underneath the bridge across from stadium. We had an awful rotation lol. Gg 😻👅
They will mask the issue and dye the water
does Paris not have pools??
I guess you didn't look up what "open water swimming" is.
@@obsidianjane4413 if you build it, they will come...
France should join some type of climate arrangement. 😂
gotta be kidding me,,swim in that trash water?
They should use lots of “Life Straw’ so they water would be drinkable! 😂
If Russian not attending. I feel sorry for all the Dope Dealer. I bet the prices of steroids has drop.
….. why is potential profits from the Olympics the only thing that makes a politician care about water quality.
If there were clear issues known, why choose that city? 0_o
When it rains, 💩 mixes in with the river 🙄😑
French streets are covered in brown doggie croissants
😳 SMDH
Terrible interview 😕
i saw people throwing turds in there on tik tok
It doesnt help when people per and poo in middle of the street.
Rich people problems
Taking more $
E coli ?
no thanks
Ask Macron if he can dive in the water 1st before the swimmers😂😂
Maybe stop discharging raw sewage into the river? Might help, just a thought 😂
how about having all those fit young energetic people do something important like cleaning up the world instead of wasting their energy on frivilous stuff that really doesn't matter-there I said it
Like you typing comments is really helping clear the world up
@@bardsamok9221 my idea is true, correct and just , if it catches on it will have a great affect
Rom 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 6:23
For the wages of sin is death;
Psalms 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Acts 8:37
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Rom 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Corinthians 15:3-4
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

So glad Russia isn’t going to be there. Life if so much more important than medals.
