French Authorities Investigate Drones Sighted Over Nuclear Reactors

Three young men have been arrested in France for the possession of an unmanned drone flying near a nuclear reactor.

French authorities have had their eyes on this issue after at least 15 drones have been spotted soaring over nuclear reactors in the country since October.

No one is quite sure what's going on, but police have been given the authority to shoot down the drones, according to reports.

The BBC's Lucy Williamson spoke with Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson about who these three men are and what they are charged with.
