[00:00:00] Liberty, equality,
[00:00:01] news.
[00:00:07] Here are the headlines of this edition. The
[00:00:10] ever-faster spread of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of
[00:00:14] Congo, 3973 cases have been detected. So, the
[00:00:18] head of the World Health Organization, visiting Kinshasa,
[00:00:22] warns. He calls for intensifying the response.
[00:00:25] Evacuation ordered in Kramatorsk, hundreds of Ukrainian
[00:00:28] families are forced to... flee the city under attack by the Russian
[00:00:32] army, more than 500 children are expected to leave their homes and after
[00:00:35] Moscow's bloody offensive yesterday, Zelensky
[00:00:39] is asking his allies for emergency aid, we will find our
[00:00:42] correspondent Emmanuel Chaz. In Germany,
[00:00:46] an anti-terrorist investigation after the discovery yesterday of an explosive
[00:00:49] drone at Lepsich airport, Berlin denounces
[00:00:52] a new dimension of threat, suspicions
[00:00:54] is the service in charge of are directed towards
[00:00:55] Russia.
[00:01:09] He issues a warning: the head of the World Health Organization,
[00:01:13] visiting the Democratic Republic of Congo yesterday, calls for
[00:01:16] intensifying the response because the Ebola epidemic is spreading
[00:01:20] faster than previous ones. 3973 cases have
[00:01:23] been confirmed, including 1801 deaths. For
[00:01:27] them, there is no vaccine or treatment. for this variant of
[00:01:30] the epidemic, details from Romain
[00:01:33] Michelot. Disinfection care
[00:01:36] operation. Here, everything is true, or almost, these
[00:01:40] doctors are still in training.
[00:01:43] interference, In this center near Nairobi, Kenya, 200 of them have already been prepared to face
[00:01:47] the Ebola epidemic.
[00:01:50] We organize this training for 3 days and give them background information
[00:01:54] on the epidemic, how to manage Ebola patients, how to
[00:01:57] protect themselves as health personnel. before, during and after this
[00:02:02] the National Security and Defense epidemic. The objective is therefore for these
[00:02:07] allowed to temporarily leave health professionals to become operational very quickly. 40% of the doctors trained here
[00:02:11] are sent there, to the Democratic Republic of Congo,
[00:02:15] where the 17th Ebola epidemic is raging. Mid-May, the
[00:02:18] first case was detected in the Ituri province in the northeast of
[00:02:22] the country. Since then, contaminations have multiplied in
[00:02:25] four other provinces. Nearly 4000 cases have been confirmed and
[00:02:29] more than 100. 800 people have died, the number of cases of this
[00:02:32] new variant of Ebola, the Bundibugyo strain, is already
[00:02:36] higher than during the last epidemic in the country between 2018 and
[00:02:40] 2020, the WHO, whose director visited the site this
[00:02:44] Wednesday, calls for intensifying the medical
[00:02:46] response. In the city of Bouna, capital of Ituri
[00:02:50] and epicenter of the epidemic, the largest Ebola detection and
[00:02:54] treatment center has just emerged. We have
[00:02:57] more than 300 staff who will work. in this center
[00:03:01] and we are counting on the community to
[00:03:04] accelerate the process of identifying
[00:03:08] cases. At the same time, the work to create an effective vaccine
[00:03:13] deminers inspects the tarmac of against this new variant continues. At the end of July, a British volunteer received the
[00:03:17] first dose of a vaccine developed in Oxford, others are in
[00:03:20] testing phase elsewhere in the world,
[00:03:22] from making a series of changes within but none has yet been
[00:03:23] validated.
[00:03:27] In Ukraine, three people were
[00:03:30] upside down, it is the country that killed in Russian shelling overnight in Baclia, located
[00:03:33] plane had been diverted following the closure of in the northwest of the country, Russian attacks are
[00:03:35] multiplying in Kramatorsk, an evacuation order has been issued to
[00:03:39] families, 525 children will have to leave their homes, a
[00:03:43] difficult but necessary decision according to the
[00:03:46] governor of the
[00:03:47] region,
[00:03:51] and to go further we will find Emmanuel Chaz in Kiev to talk
[00:03:55] about it, hello Emmanuel, Kramatorsk is one of the
[00:03:58] last cities controlled by Ukraine in the Donetsk
[00:04:01] province and it is particularly the target
[00:04:04] of violent attacks by Russian
[00:04:06] forces,
[00:04:09] uh yes absolutely, so it's true that in recent days there has been a lot of talk about Russian
[00:04:13] shelling, especially on the capital,
[00:04:17] to envisage a future outside has actively supported since the beginning of less talk about this city of Kramatorsk, one of the last strongholds in the Donetsk
[00:04:20] region, a city which, just like the satellite city of
[00:04:24] Slovyansk, is in range of Russian
[00:04:27] artillery, in range of Russian drones, in range of gliding bombs,
[00:04:31] these guided aerial bombs that are not
[00:04:34] very expensive relatively speaking compared to missiles to
[00:04:38] produce for Russia, however, they are
[00:04:41] devastating, to give you an idea, yesterday the city of Kramatorsk was
[00:04:45] attacked more than 31 times with
[00:04:48] various bombs like the ones I just mentioned, so this
[00:04:52] mandatory evacuation
[00:04:54] of children, more than 500 children from certain villages near
[00:04:58] Kramatorsk as well as from several neighborhoods.
[00:05:00] of Kramatorsk, a city that used to have up to 200,000 inhabitants and now
[00:05:04] only has about 45,000, 50,000 at
[00:05:07] present, this order comes as the city has already
[00:05:11] been emptied of many of its inhabitants, but there are
[00:05:15] still families, one can wonder why these
[00:05:18] families are still there, often they do not have the financial
[00:05:22] means to leave, often they have relatives they need to
[00:05:25] take care of, often also they are part of
[00:05:29] families of civil servants, so firefighters, police
[00:05:32] families, also families of soldiers who are there, so many
[00:05:36] reasons why we will still find hundreds of children who
[00:05:39] are trapped ultimately in... this city which a few
[00:05:43] years ago was not affected by bombs but
[00:05:46] which since 2022 has
[00:05:49] really experienced a significant decline,
[00:05:53] so today we cannot go to Kramatorsk without hearing
[00:05:57] these bombardments, we must constantly scan the
[00:06:00] sky because the inhabitants are at the mercy of FPV
[00:06:04] drones in addition to being at the mercy of other bombs, so
[00:06:07] a city where it has become very dangerous to be a
[00:06:10] civilian and meanwhile... Emmanuel on the front of Ukrainian
[00:06:14] domestic politics, Volodymyr Zelensky is struggling
[00:06:17] to quell the crisis against accusations of corruption against some
[00:06:21] officials?
[00:06:24] Yes, absolutely, so a crisis that was ultimately
[00:06:28] caused by his ministerial reshuffle a few
[00:06:31] weeks ago, a sudden reshuffle that saw the departure of the very popular
[00:06:35] Minister of Defense, Mykhailo Fedorov, the
[00:06:38] population did not understand why this minister was almost dismissed
[00:06:42] because... he was considered very effective because he
[00:06:45] was also trying to tackle corruption within his own
[00:06:48] ministry, the latest scandal
[00:06:52] to date, the resignation a few days ago of the Ambassador
[00:06:55] to the United States, Oksana Markarova had caused a lot of talk, she
[00:06:59] was indicted in a corruption
[00:07:02] case and then Volodymyr Zelensky also
[00:07:05] appointed his former Minister of Defense
[00:07:09] Rustem Umerov, whom he then appointed secretary. to
[00:07:14] Council, he was appointed head of
[00:07:17] foreign intelligence, another decision that is causing a lot of talk here
[00:07:21] because Rustem is cited as a witness in
[00:07:25] the Mindish case, this corruption case that
[00:07:28] erupted last autumn, so
[00:07:31] consequently the Ukrainian population continues its
[00:07:34] rallies across the country, if the
[00:07:37] first of the two demands of the people is the return of Mykhailo Fedorov,
[00:07:41] it is also a way of showing
[00:07:44] Volodymyr Zelensky that many here are unhappy with his
[00:07:48] way of managing this government. Thank
[00:07:52] you Emmanuel and so the Ukrainian
[00:07:55] Ambassador to Germany, he accuses Russia after the
[00:07:58] discovery of a drone laden with explosives at
[00:08:02] Lepsich airport, that's happening in Germany. That was yesterday,
[00:08:05] the device had been able to be defused on the tarmac and
[00:08:09] a disaster was narrowly avoided, a second object. hit
[00:08:12] a slightly damaged plane, the Russian lead is
[00:08:16] therefore mentioned and Berlin denounces a new dimension of threat, the point
[00:08:20] with Marion Meyer. A robot from
[00:08:25] Lepsich airport in the middle of the night, an
[00:08:28] explosive-laden drone has just been spotted a few
[00:08:32] meters from these Anton of Airlines planes, an Ukrainian
[00:08:36] cargo company. Shortly after, a DHL
[00:08:39] aircraft hits a flying object in mid-flight. The
[00:08:45] the airport, it is fortunately only slightly
[00:08:48] damaged. Berlin denounces a possible hybrid
[00:08:51] attack, a threat taken extremely
[00:08:54] seriously.
[00:08:58] I fully understand the intuition that these threats are not the work
[00:09:02] of amateurs. On the contrary,
[00:09:05] they require very professional
[00:09:09] preparation and execution.
[00:09:13] This represents a new level of threat, why is this
[00:09:16] incident so worrying? Lepsich
[00:09:20] airport is a key logistics hub for NATO, it allows
[00:09:23] the transport of material and civilians to Ukraine, which Berlin
[00:09:29] the Russian invasion. So according to the Ukrainian Ambassador in
[00:09:32] Germany, the responsibility for this incident undoubtedly
[00:09:36] lies with Moscow. Berlin mentions the possible involvement of
[00:09:39] foreign powers, an anti-terrorist investigation has been
[00:09:43] opened
[00:09:46] and the war waged by Russia is also being fought on the internet, we'll talk about it in
[00:09:50] Hélène Frad's press review, hello Hélène, hello Kaling,
[00:09:54] so a disinformation campaign targeting several
[00:09:57] candidates running for the French presidential election in 2027 with a
[00:10:01] campaign attributed to Russian services. Édouard
[00:10:04] Philippe, Raphaël Glucksman and
[00:10:07] Gabriel Attal, victims of the Kremlin's
[00:10:10] smoke and mirrors, says Libération. The newspaper reports
[00:10:13] this morning on the submission of a bill to allow urgent legal action
[00:10:17] during election periods or to make prison sentences,
[00:10:20] penalties, and convictions more dissuasive. "These measures are
[00:10:24] however deemed insufficient
[00:10:28] by Marine Tondelier, herself a presidential candidate for the
[00:10:31] Greens, she proposes a more radical solution,
[00:10:35] cutting off X, Elon Musk's social network, which she accuses of having a
[00:10:39] more structural impact than foreign digital attacks,
[00:10:43] the shadow of a social network X on
[00:10:45] which would be partisan and opaque and
[00:10:49] over which the shadow of Elon Musk looms, public opinion reminds
[00:10:53] us that since he bought Twitter..." formerly Twitter in
[00:10:56] 2022, Elon Musk has been multiplying political messages
[00:10:59] on his platform, notably after the announcement of Marine Le
[00:11:03] Pen's presidential candidacy, which he described, and I quote,
[00:11:06] as the last hope for France, and the social
[00:11:10] network X is somewhat the privileged channel for
[00:11:13] Russian disinformation campaigns, yes, the investigations by Viginum, which
[00:11:19] fighting foreign digital interference here in France
[00:11:23] and cited by Le Figaro. uh have identified
[00:11:27] two Russian ecosystems, Thor 1516 which was
[00:11:30] involved in the attacks against Edward Philippe and Raphael
[00:11:33] Glucksmann and Matryoshka which targeted
[00:11:37] Gabriel Attal regarding
[00:11:40] Matryoshka Insider which is a Russian investigative
[00:11:44] site in exile indicates that the method is always the same,
[00:11:47] dissemination of fake content under the appearance of known media
[00:11:51] with hijacked logos, this is what these...
[00:11:55] screenshots made by the Bot Blocker collective
[00:11:58] show fake logos of Radio RTL or the daily newspapers,
[00:12:02] Libération and Le Figaro and Russia
[00:12:05] does not have a monopoly on
[00:12:08] the Trump administration also practices it, the Wall Street Journal reports
[00:12:11] the accusations of Brazilian President Lula
[00:12:15] who claims that Trump is trying to interfere in the October
[00:12:18] presidential election in Brazil to restore the right to power, in
[00:12:22] this case the son. of Jair Bolsonaro,
[00:12:25] Flavio Bolsonaro, Politico reminds us that
[00:12:29] these attempts at American interference are not new, that the United States has been trying
[00:12:32] for decades to influence foreign
[00:12:36] elections, but according to the American site, the novelty
[00:12:39] lies rather in the boasts of Trump and his
[00:12:42] team, so clumsy and ostentatious, I quote, that every American
[00:12:46] decision now fuels suspicion. The
[00:12:49] Trump administration which therefore conditions
[00:12:52] aid to African countries in terms of health, La Croix cites
[00:12:56] among these conditions, the sharing of health data or
[00:12:59] access to the mineral resources of these African countries, a
[00:13:03] policy associated with greed and blackmail by
[00:13:06] La Croix, which considers this trend all the more worrying as
[00:13:10] it also seems linked to the whims of Trump and his administration
[00:13:14] regarding health, even though his
[00:13:17] skepticism towards science is no longer in doubt,
[00:13:20] as evidenced by the current spread
[00:13:23] in the United States of the
[00:13:26] worst measles epidemic the country has known
[00:13:30] in 35 years in the Africa and
[00:13:33] health section also the questions about the health
[00:13:37] of Cameroonian President Paul Biya,
[00:13:40] 93 years old, he has been absent from his country for almost 2 months, which
[00:13:44] did not prevent him this week
[00:13:47] the army to better lock it down. For the Burkinabe
[00:13:51] daily Le Pays, it is clear that Cameroon is
[00:13:55] has the oldest president in the world and who spends more time
[00:13:59] abroad than in his palace and then Hélène, a word
[00:14:02] to finish with an unusual offense against the
[00:14:05] highway code, it's happening in Spain, yes, the country says that it all started
[00:14:09] with a video that went viral last June on social networks,
[00:14:13] images taken by a motorist on a
[00:14:16] Spanish highway showing a couple having sex on
[00:14:19] the driver's seat of another vehicle after an
[00:14:23] investigation, the Guardia Civil identified the
[00:14:27] lovebirds, a couple of tourists on vacation on the Costa del
[00:14:30] Sol, both were obviously fined for reckless
[00:14:34] driving and not wearing a seatbelt, offenses for which they were
[00:14:37] fined €200 in both
[00:30:10] the news headlines: evacuation ordered in
[00:30:13] Kramatorsk, hundreds of Ukrainian families are forced to flee the
[00:30:16] city under attack by the Russian army, more than 500 children
[00:30:20] are expected to leave their homes and after Moscow's bloody offensive
[00:30:24] yesterday, Volodymyr Zelensky demands then the head of the WHO
[00:30:27] visiting Kinshasa warns, he calls for intensifying
[00:30:31] the response. Then the FIFA's apologies, after
[00:30:34] having tried to privatize the World Cup, the world football
[00:30:38] body shows contrition while supporting its highly
[00:30:41] contested boss, Gianni Infantino. To talk about it,
[00:30:44] Romain Molina, investigative journalist, football
[00:30:48] specialist and...
