French Farmer-Activist José Bové on Paris Protest Ban: "We Are in Prison in Our Own Home"

 Among those who took to the streets of Paris in protest Sunday was the
French farmer, activist and politician José Bové, one of the world’s
leading critics of corporate globalization and genetically modified
organisms. Bové is a sheep farmer who became famous for helping to
destroy a McDonald’s under construction in France to protest trade
policies that hurt small farmers. He is also a member of the European
Parliament. Bové joins us to discuss France’s ban on protests in the
aftermath of the Paris attacks and what’s at stake at the United Nations
summit on climate change.
