[00:00:12] Good afternoon and welcome to France 24's now, I'm [00:00:16] Elena Lozano and everything you're about to see is news, [00:00:19] let's get started. Volodymyr Zelensky accuses that it's increasingly [00:00:23] evident that Russia is not interested in an energy ceasefire [00:00:26] after the attack on six of its facilities this [00:00:30] Tuesday. For its part, Moscow [00:00:33] military presence on the continent, which affirms that there will be a cessation of hostilities only on the day of the Ukrainian elections. [00:00:37] Riyadh International Airport [00:00:39] thread you started to will remain closed until Saturday. Saudi Arabia [00:00:42] promised a response and made the announcement after the most recent attack by Houthi [00:00:46] rebels perpetrated on Sunday which left at least one [00:00:49] dead and a dozen injured. [00:00:53] Federal agents in the United States raided the home of [00:00:56] Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a fierce critic of Donald [00:01:00] Trump, according to authorities, as part of a criminal investigation into alleged [00:01:04] fraud, the search by Homeland Security [00:01:08] Investigations agents, belonging to ICE, occurs three weeks before [00:01:12] the midterm elections. [00:01:26] We start by talking about the war between Russia and Ukraine. Zelensky [00:01:30] accuses that it's increasingly evident that Moscow is not [00:01:33] interested in the energy ceasefire proposed by Donald Trump, the [00:01:37] Ukrainian president said that the attack on six of its facilities [00:01:41] this Tuesday is proof of that. For its part, the Kremlin refuses to [00:01:44] confirm whether or not it gave its approval to the supposed pact that Washington [00:01:48] already takes for granted, and affirmed that there will be a cessation of hostilities, but only on the day of the [00:01:52] Ukrainian elections. We'll expand on that [00:01:54] next. [00:01:57] Amid the confusion, Moscow finally responded. [00:02:00] Following Donald Trump's unilateral announcement on Sunday, the [00:02:04] Kremlin refused to confirm this Monday whether a truce [00:02:08] doctrine, part of what on attacks against energy infrastructure was in [00:02:11] effect, but explained that contacts were being maintained [00:02:14] and that more information would be revealed in due course. In the [00:02:18] Kremlin, both President Putin and officials at other levels have [00:02:22] very difficult for them to repeatedly stated that we don't want a ceasefire, [00:02:25] but a lasting peace. We are willing to [00:02:28] do everything possible. [00:02:32] On Sunday, the US President had unexpectedly announced [00:02:35] that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to an energy [00:02:39] ceasefire. However, [00:02:43] abuse and sexual harassment. This is what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky did not wait for [00:02:46] Russian confirmation to denounce a violation of this supposed [00:02:49] agreement by Moscow. [00:02:52] Immediately after the publication, Russia launched a [00:02:55] selective attack against a power plant in Kharkiv, which [00:02:58] caused more damage. [00:03:01] Energy system, it became clear that Putin doesn't read social [00:03:03] media. [00:03:08] The Ukrainian head of state has called for a 60-day ceasefire [00:03:13] grabbed me from the part where with Russia in order, among other things, to be able to organize elections after Donald [00:03:17] grabbed everything, he touched me and Trump's call for a change of president in Ukraine. [00:03:21] Russia responded that it would agree not to attack its neighbor only [00:03:24] on the day of the eventual elections. For their [00:03:27] part, the Foreign Ministers of the European [00:03:31] Union approved this Monday almost 1600 new [00:03:34] sanctions directed against the Russian military-industrial [00:03:38] complex. [00:03:41] pointing out the weaknesses of And in this context of war between both countries, the Supreme Commander of [00:03:44] NATO launched a message from Poland to Russia, warning not to [00:03:48] test any of the 32 allied countries. During a [00:03:51] speech this Monday at a security forum held in [00:03:54] Warsaw, US General Alexis [00:03:57] Gkrek affirmed that NATO is prepared to act in [00:04:00] case of an attack by Moscow, this warning comes amid growing [00:04:04] personalities who are at the center European concern about possible Russian interference and the [00:04:07] fear of seeing the United States withdraw as a pillar of the military [00:04:11] alliance for European defense. The details in the following [00:04:14] report by Maxim Pluviné. [00:04:17] While a direct confrontation with Moscow doesn't seem imminent, [00:04:21] NATO is prepared to fight. This was the [00:04:24] message from the highest military commander of the transatlantic [00:04:27] alliance during a speech delivered. [00:04:32] that there will be a cessation of hostilities only on the day of [00:04:34] Our alliance exists to preserve peace, but let there be no doubt, if [00:04:38] a war breaks out, we will stop and neutralize any attack, and [00:04:42] if it doesn't stop, we will destroy the forces carrying out an aggression [00:04:46] against us, we are trained and prepared, it's important that allies [00:04:49] continue to consult, analyze how we could respond [00:04:53] and make sure to convey to the Russians clearly and concisely what our [00:04:57] red lines are. [00:05:00] Concern among the 32 allied countries is growing [00:05:03] due to what Western officials describe [00:05:06] as a Russian campaign of sabotage and [00:05:09] interference. Among recent incidents. [00:05:42] Washington is currently reviewing its [00:05:46] fuels European doubts about the value of the defense alliance with [00:05:50] the United States under the presidency of Donald Trump. The Ukrainian [00:05:53] president asked the US government to maintain its commitment to the [00:05:57] cause. The United States is undoubtedly the most [00:06:01] powerful country in the world and it's important that it uses its power to make the world a [00:06:05] better place. For [00:06:07] his part, General Grinkewich insisted that doubts about [00:06:11] Washington's commitment are unfounded. [00:06:14] We continue in the Middle East on a new day of attacks. Riyadh [00:06:18] International Airport will remain closed until Saturday. This was [00:06:22] announced by Saudi Arabia after the most recent attack by the Houthis from [00:06:25] Yemen, perpetrated on Sunday, which left at least one dead and a dozen [00:06:29] injured. In total, 16 people have lost their lives in Saudi [00:06:32] territory due to the wave of attacks launched by the rebels over the weekend, [00:06:36] which are considered the worst recorded in the kingdom [00:06:39] since 2014. The Saudi Minister of Energy called for a firm [00:06:43] response to the actions of the pro-Iranian group. Minutes ago, the [00:06:47] Yemenis, the Houthis of Yemen, said they had attacked Riyadh airport [00:06:51] in the Saudi capital with drones, but also the Khamis [00:06:54] Mushait air [00:06:56] base. [00:06:59] The objective of our military operations against oil [00:07:02] facilities, airports, particularly those located in [00:07:05] Riyadh, is to send a message to Bin Salman: he [00:07:08] can no longer attack Yemen from a safe position. [00:07:13] We also seek to convey that continuing the war and insisting on the [00:07:17] military option no longer benefits Saudi Arabia, and will [00:07:20] eventually lead to the destruction of all Saudi [00:07:23] infrastructure. Let's now look at the situation in the Gaza Strip: [00:07:26] an Israeli surveillance drone attack killed at least two [00:07:30] people and injured several in the south of the Palestinian enclave. The Israeli [00:07:34] army stated that it attacked a militant in the area without offering more [00:07:37] details, while a third man died from injuries suffered [00:07:41] on Sunday in an Israeli convoy attack. Israel, which [00:07:45] accuses Hamas of rearming and launching attacks violating the fragile ceasefire, [00:07:49] has intensified bombardments in recent weeks. The [00:07:52] details in the following report by Maxim Pluvine. [00:07:56] The ceasefire remains a chimera in Gaza, several [00:07:59] Palestinians died and others were injured in Israeli drone [00:08:03] attacks in the south of the besieged [00:08:05] strip. [00:08:10] The reality is difficult, the reality. Every day there are [00:08:13] martyrs, there are martyrs every day, we don't know who they are, [00:08:16] young people who have nothing to do with anything, who run a gas [00:08:20] station and make a living and suddenly you see the flames explode, [00:08:23] let me tell you something, no matter how much we talk [00:08:26] we can't really describe what reality is like, reality is [00:08:30] difficult, bodies, human remains and [00:08:32] flesh. [00:08:38] We are a people of struggle, martyrdom, resistance and brave [00:08:41] men. [00:08:42] He will say: [00:08:46] another man also died from injuries received the [00:08:49] day before in an attack by Israeli soldiers. On the other [00:08:53] hand, displaced Palestinians were leaving [00:08:56] Shuja'iyya, east of Gaza City, fleeing the advance of the [00:08:59] Israeli army and the placement of concrete blocks that [00:09:03] mark the so-called yellow line, near their tents. [00:09:06] campaña. [00:09:09] The yellow line is now right behind our tent. [00:09:42] US federal agents raided the home, according [00:09:46] to authorities, as part of a criminal investigation into alleged [00:09:49] fraud. The operation was carried out by Homeland Security [00:09:52] Investigations agents, which belongs to ICE, and takes place 3 weeks [00:09:56] before the midterm elections. According to Fox [00:10:00] News, the investigation is linked to immigration documentation [00:10:03] filed in the name of the 44-year-old congresswoman born in [00:10:07] Somalia by her father when she was a minor. [00:10:09] The raid by the Trump administration on the [00:10:13] home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar is deeply disturbing and raises [00:10:17] serious doubts about the continued corrupt militarization of the federal [00:10:21] government against Donald Trump's adversaries. In other news, [00:10:25] British Prime Minister Andy Burnham appeared before Parliament [00:10:28] where he pointed out that the most probable cause of the incident at [00:10:31] Fairford air base at the end of September was caused by an [00:10:35] alleged terrorist plot directed by the Iranian Revolutionary [00:10:38] Guard, something that Tehran denies. Our correspondent Luisa [00:10:42] Pulido expands from London. [00:10:45] Yes, the Prime Minister was very careful in the expressions he [00:10:49] used precisely to refer to this episode near [00:10:52] that joint military base between the United [00:10:56] Kingdom and the United States, he said, I can [00:10:59] confirm that our assessment is very [00:11:02] likely that the operation was coordinated from Iran and [00:11:06] almost certainly directed by the Islamic Revolutionary [00:11:09] Guard of Iran, we can see the care Andy [00:11:13] Burnham took to talk about this thorny issue that compromises [00:11:17] national security in Parliament today, which is why the Iranian ambassador in [00:11:20] London has been summoned by the Foreign Minister to the [00:11:23] Foreign Office because that country, once [00:11:27] this happened, denied its involvement. [00:11:30] Andy Burnham has said that the United Kingdom will not tolerate this [00:11:34] type of threats on its territory, he has said that they [00:11:37] will firmly combat the use of criminal networks by [00:11:41] Iran to act against them and their financial [00:11:44] sponsors. Therefore, the United Kingdom announced that it imposed sanctions on [00:11:48] two Iranian citizens. This includes freezing their assets here in [00:11:52] the United Kingdom, prohibiting their entry to this country and also the [00:11:56] administration from now and in the future from managing [00:11:59] companies in this territory. In France, the Paris [00:12:02] Motor Show opened, where 28 European brands will [00:12:05] face 24 Chinese manufacturers to try to curb the [00:12:09] wave of vehicles from China, and particularly electric [00:12:13] hybrids. At the same time, an agreement was announced this Monday between the [00:12:17] European Union and China that could reduce imports of Chinese [00:12:20] hybrid vehicles to the bloc by more than half. Leurel tells us [00:12:24] more. An event described as an industrial [00:12:27] battle, with a doubled presence compared [00:12:31] to two years ago, Chinese manufacturers flocked to the Paris [00:12:34] Motor Show. French President Emmanuel Macron tried to reassure [00:12:38] European manufacturers, recalling the bilateral agreement [00:12:42] reached in Beijing to reduce Chinese [00:12:45] hybrid vehicle imports to Europe by more than half, from [00:12:49] 800,000 units to 350,000 [00:12:52] annually. This is the result of work, as you know, that has been [00:12:56] carried out for several years in which we have wanted to re-establish [00:12:59] fair and loyal competition between Europeans and non-Europeans, [00:13:03] when there were elements of over-subsidization and [00:13:06] unfair [00:13:08] competition. [00:13:10] The issue of hybrid vehicles is one of the most delicate topics [00:13:14] between the European Union and China. These models have [00:13:17] become a channel through which Chinese manufacturers penetrate [00:13:21] the European market where they pose a challenge [00:13:25] to their European rivals. When you compare much [00:13:28] of the Chinese offer with what Europeans currently offer [00:13:32] in terms of electric cars, I'm afraid that electric cars manufactured [00:13:35] in Europe are still very expensive. European [00:13:39] industrialists and officials have been denouncing for years the arrival [00:13:43] in the European Union of cheaper Chinese products that weaken [00:13:46] entire economic sectors and cause a massive loss of jobs. [00:13:50] They also accuse China of unfair trade [00:13:53] practices through, among other things, subsidies [00:13:57] granted to its companies and the manipulation of its currency. [00:14:01] Beijing defends itself, highlighting the success of its industry and [00:14:06] the European economy. End [00:14:09] of the news, thank you for your company and until next [00:14:11] time. [00:14:18] Welcome to the France interview. Every week, Rodrigo Sedano [00:14:21] receives a new guest, politicians, athletes, [00:14:25] artists, interviews with [00:14:29] of current events, their points of view and experiences, a face-to-face [00:14:32] with the world, the [00:14:35] interview, presented by Rodrigo Sedano on [00:14:38] France24 and france24.com. [00:14:58] Stopover in Paris, Aida Palau. [00:15:02] Welcome everyone to this space of Radio France Internationale and [00:15:06] France 24. Today we're talking about a not very [00:15:09] well-known topic that, thanks to a journalistic investigation, [00:15:13] is coming to light. We are referring to sexual [00:15:17] violence in the Mexican army. This work [00:15:20] titled "Sexual Violence in Barracks, [00:15:23] A Radiography of the..." has been carried out by independent [00:15:27] journalist Zoraida Gallegos who has won the [00:15:31] eighth edition of the Bretch Valdez Journalism [00:15:34] and Human Rights Award of this 2026. [00:15:38] And to talk to us about this excellent investigation, we have her [00:15:42] in our studios in Paris. Thank you very much, [00:15:45] Zoraida, and congratulations on this award. Thank you very much for [00:15:49] the invitation. Well, this magnificent report was [00:15:52] published by Fábrica de Periodismo in alliance with El [00:15:55] Universal and documents cases of violence and sexual [00:15:59] abuse against women within the Mexican army. A [00:16:02] phenomenon that we can say is systematic, [00:16:05] silenced, covered up, and of course, in many cases, [00:16:09] most cases, unpunished. How did [00:16:12] you decide to investigate this little-known topic? What was the first [00:16:17] pull? Well, I had been investigating [00:16:20] issues related to corruption in the Mexican army for several [00:16:23] years, and during that [00:16:26] review that one makes of documents, I once [00:16:30] found a file that had to do [00:16:33] precisely with a case of sexual abuse. From [00:16:36] there, it caught my attention, the testimony, what was narrated [00:16:40] in that document, I started asking for figures and, let's say, [00:16:44] that first finding of the figures was what surprised [00:16:47] me the most, there were more than 500 cases [00:16:51] and the number of sentences was very low, it was only [00:16:54] 3%, that's [00:16:57] when I decided to formally start the [00:17:00] investigation. With this investigation we can say that you have focused on [00:17:04] something that is a bit taboo. Right? [00:17:08] Sexual abuse and violence against [00:17:11] women within the armed forces. [00:17:14] 500 cases you found, you told me. What was the [00:17:18] biggest obstacle that [00:17:21] barrier that you encountered to investigate, knowing that in Mexico [00:17:24] it's difficult to practice journalism on certain [00:17:28] topics? Well, I think the [00:17:31] most difficult obstacle was precisely [00:17:35] to get the women who had been victims of any type of abuse to [00:17:38] dare to speak. It is well known that [00:17:41] in the army it is a very [00:17:44] powerful institution dominated mostly by [00:17:48] men who are obviously the ones with the highest ranks [00:17:51] and the participation of women [00:17:54] is still lower and it was [00:18:00] dare to speak for fear of retaliation because they also [00:18:03] have other people working within the armed [00:18:07] forces and because of what they had already [00:18:10] experienced, they didn't want to relive [00:18:13] that, to be revictimized again. [00:18:17] You contacted, you studied about 50 [00:18:20] cases, but you contacted 20 women who had suffered [00:18:24] some type of abuse or rape, only six [00:18:27] accepted interviews and of those, [00:18:30] only one decided to do so openly, she did not ask for [00:18:34] anonymity, the others did, their voices were changed [00:18:38] from their testimonies, let's hear precisely the [00:18:41] testimony of Adarelli, the only woman who decided to speak [00:18:45] openly. He comes in, he leaves, he [00:18:47] sees me and comes back and that's when he [00:18:51] my hips are and he [00:18:54] he's half tall, I'm tiny, 1.54, [00:18:58] 1.55, and he's almost 1.80, so he [00:19:02] carried me, no, no, no, and he [00:19:05] like, he gave me a shove, [00:19:09] like, yes, like when they shove you [00:19:12] in the subway, but worse, like he [00:19:16] picked me up with just one [00:19:19] blow and he rubbed his [00:19:22] big thing all over me, I still remember that when [00:19:26] he inhaled or exhaled his breath or [00:19:29] garlic, terrible testimony, what has [00:19:33] happened to Adarelli's case? Adarelli's case is stuck in the [00:19:37] courts, it keeps bouncing from one instance to [00:19:41] another, she has continued her fight, even her [00:19:44] mother has gone to demonstrate in front of the National [00:19:47] Palace to get the authorities [00:19:51] to look at her situation, but it remains stagnant and [00:19:55] she is still in the army. She left, she is still in the [00:19:58] army, despite the pressures, the threats she has [00:20:01] received, she has decided to [00:20:05] stay there and fight a very brave battle. The [00:20:09] other women have asked for anonymity, why don't so many [00:20:12] women speak out, what do they fear losing [00:20:15] their jobs, other types of [00:20:18] retaliation? They fear two things, obviously [00:20:21] losing their jobs, they are afraid that something [00:20:25] might happen to them or their families, some [00:20:29] of them, for example, their parents or their [00:20:32] siblings also form or formed part of the armed forces, some are [00:20:36] retired military. They can lose their pensions and the [00:20:40] main thing is fear that [00:20:42] something will happen to them, for example, in Adarelli's case, [00:20:46] she says she was even a victim of... [00:20:50] surveillance when she, let's say, has certain [00:20:53] days to be free from the army, [00:20:56] to live a normal life, she was [00:21:00] followed in the streets, there was constant surveillance against her [00:21:03] and, well, obviously there have been cases that [00:21:07] are not documented in this investigation but of other [00:21:11] women who have even received death threats [00:21:15] because of this situation, tremendous. [00:21:18] There is also cover-up. This is what also emerges from [00:21:21] this investigation that you conducted. There [00:21:25] is a case in which an army [00:21:28] girl complains to a superior, but [00:21:31] of course, the superior is also persecuted for sexual [00:21:34] abuse, there is a kind of cover-up that is almost [00:21:37] impossible to escape. Right? Yes, [00:21:41] that's part of the paradox, this case you mention, she [00:21:44] goes and reports it to her superior, to the person in charge of that [00:21:48] military zone. And that person was precisely [00:21:52] in that military zone because they had moved him months before [00:21:56] from another region of Mexico precisely because of [00:21:59] harassment and sexual abuse. This case also seems [00:22:03] very emblematic to me because this general even [00:22:06] tells this person who reports her that they can [00:22:09] even give her money, they can pay for psychological therapy [00:22:12] outside so that she doesn't escalate the [00:22:16] case, so that's the level they [00:22:20] reach. You write in your investigation, "Cornered by iron [00:22:24] discipline and obedience to superiors, fundamental mantras [00:22:28] of any military structure, women have been forced [00:22:31] to endure not only sexual violence, but have also had to [00:22:35] fulfill, not without protests, functions that denigrate their [00:22:38] professional role." To what extent can [00:22:41] subordination and obedience, which are almost [00:22:45] intrinsic to the military structure, make it difficult for a [00:22:48] woman to defend herself from a superior or to report or to [00:22:52] simply say no to entering this room? It's just that [00:22:55] part of the military [00:22:58] they are taught in military schools has to do [00:23:02] with the issue of obedience and subordination. If [00:23:05] a superior tells them that [00:23:09] they have to go to such and such a place and provide a certain [00:23:12] service, even if it's entering one of their dormitories, [00:23:15] they have to do it because it's part of [00:23:19] their military training. So precisely [00:23:23] these types of situations are what [00:23:26] put them at risk and in danger of being [00:23:29] victims of these cases of [00:23:33] one of the people in this report complains [00:23:36] about, Naibet Arzate, who is an army [00:23:39] hairdresser, right? The one whose superior tells [00:23:42] her to come in, and she says, well, I guess I have to, [00:23:46] and he rapes her. Yes, her case [00:23:50] is too [00:23:52] impactful because she was underage when she joined [00:23:56] the army and [00:23:58] she was exposed to this [00:24:01] situation, she left the army [00:24:04] after that, she finally said, "I have to [00:24:08] come back so that justice can be done," she comes back, [00:24:11] tries to take her case to court, and [00:24:15] precisely when cases escalate to military [00:24:19] courts, because within the military structure itself, [00:24:23] they have their own public prosecutors, [00:24:26] their own prosecutor's office, their own court, so that also [00:24:30] greatly favors impunity because when cases, the few [00:24:34] cases that escalate to a trial, [00:24:37] women are exposed to revictimization again with [00:24:41] comments from magistrates, for example, or judges, [00:24:44] "if he was raping you, why didn't you kick enough, why didn't [00:24:48] you hit him in such a way to free yourself?" So it's very [00:24:51] stigmatizing. What instances can they report to? An internal [00:24:55] instance and an external one too, civilian [00:24:58] courts? Yes, they [00:25:02] have to do the first thing when such a situation occurs, they have to notify [00:25:06] a superior, that superior would have to [00:25:09] give notice or, let's say, authorize them to go to [00:25:12] prosecutor's office or the public ministry to file a complaint, but what [00:25:16] happens is that they are sent to an instance created by the CDN itself. [00:25:20] given the increase in cases, which is a special office, an office, it is [00:25:24] called, and when they go there, that office should [00:25:27] provide them with psychological support, help them to [00:25:31] file a complaint with the military prosecutor's office, but what happens [00:25:34] is that in therapy they are [00:25:37] convinced or incited precisely to [00:25:40] forgive, to forget so that, well, their case does not [00:25:44] escalate to the military authorities, meaning that it is [00:25:47] more of a barrier than justice, [00:25:51] to silence it. Your [00:25:54] investigation had a significant political [00:25:56] repercussion. The Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum, publicly [00:26:00] acknowledged the existence of this problem and [00:26:04] committed to addressing it. Has [00:26:07] there been any change, any announcement? [00:26:11] Well, let's say that the most visible thing was that on [00:26:14] March 8th, which is International Women's Day, the president [00:26:18] decided to, shall we say, have a public [00:26:22] event at the military facilities [00:26:25] with all the military women in front of her, [00:26:28] and let's say it was something very [00:26:31] symbolic because it was like publicly giving them her [00:26:34] support, right? But let's say [00:26:37] discursively that has remained a bit there, no [00:26:40] concrete actions have been seen either. Sedena is a very [00:26:44] hermetic institution, and Sedena, which is the Secretary of [00:26:48] National Defense, yes, the Mexican army, is very [00:26:51] hermetic, so it is very difficult for them to say [00:26:55] we are prosecuting so many military personnel for these cases. [00:26:58] It is very difficult to know that, so for the moment neither changes [00:27:01] in... relation nor anything in sight, nor anything in sight. Well, [00:27:05] Zoraida Gallegos, we have no more time, thank you very much for [00:27:09] joining us and especially for this tremendous [00:27:13] investigation. We invite our listeners to read this [00:27:16] interactive work, sexual violence in the barracks, a [00:27:20] radiography of impunity, which can be [00:27:23] seen on the website of [00:27:26] El Universal, a work that has been awarded the [00:27:29] Brett Valdéz award in memory of these two great [00:27:33] assassinated journalists. Thank you very much and we wish [00:27:36] you all the best. Thank you for the invitation to talk about this topic and [00:27:40] thank you all for joining us, see you later friends. [00:30:12] Good afternoon and welcome to France 24's World Now. I am [00:30:16] Elena Lozano and everything you will see next is news. [00:30:19] Let's begin. Volodymyr Zelensky accuses that it is [00:30:23] increasingly evident that Russia is not interested in an energy [00:30:26] ceasefire after the attack on six of its facilities this [00:30:30] Tuesday. For its part, Moscow states [00:30:34] the Ukrainian elections. [00:30:37] Riyadh International Airport will remain closed until [00:30:40] Saturday. Saudi Arabia promised a response and made the [00:30:44] announcement after the most recent attack by the Houthi rebels perpetrated on [00:30:47] Sunday, which left at least one dead and a dozen [00:30:51] injured. [00:30:53] Federal agents in the United States raided the home of Democratic [00:30:56] Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a harsh critic.
