[00:00:06] You are still watching Paris Live on France 24. At the top of this edition,
[00:00:10] Kramatorsk under Russian bombs. On the ground, civilians living in the
[00:00:13] eastern part of the city have been ordered to evacuate. For its part, Moscow
[00:00:17] claims to have intercepted more than 600 Ukrainian drones overnight.
[00:00:21] A double analysis in this newspaper with Melina Huet, international columnist
[00:00:24] here at France 24. Hello Melina and Jean-Paul Palomeros,
[00:00:28] former chief of staff of the army of the East. and former Supreme Allied Commander for Transformation
[00:00:32] "We plan to leave this month because of of NATO. Thank you for accepting our invitation and see you
[00:00:35] later. Also in the headlines, two Israeli soldiers killed in Lebanon where
[00:00:38] retaliatory strikes by the Hebrew state left one dead. A resurgence of violence while the
[00:00:42] two countries have been in Rome since Tuesday for a 7th round of direct
[00:00:46] negotiations under American mediation. To follow, the
[00:00:49] correspondence of Aubin and Mar from Beirut.
[00:00:52] And then criticized internationally, he is now supported internally.
[00:00:55] In the eye of the storm, after several controversies, the president of FIFA.
[00:00:59] Infantino wants to turn the page. His management
[00:01:03] apologized yesterday for its mistakes. You know the program.
[00:01:19] The Kyiv region, on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, Kramatorsk, these
[00:01:23] last hours, Russia continues to pound Ukraine, which today
[00:01:26] no longer has the means to shoot down its enemy's missiles, Volo.
[00:01:30] Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, has again asked his allies for urgent
[00:01:34] aid. Images commented by Alice Broga.
[00:01:38] After more than 20 hours of searching, Ukrainian rescuers
[00:01:41] extract a lifeless
[00:01:44] important, it is part of body from the rubble. A civilian killed in a Russian strike that occurred the day before on this building in
[00:01:48] Kramatorsk. Faced with the multiplication of Russian attacks, the
[00:01:52] authorities of this city in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine
[00:01:55] ordered on Wednesday evening the evacuation of about 500
[00:01:58] children and their families who still lived in the city, in the
[00:02:02] Kyiv region too, the attacks are increasingly numerous and
[00:02:06] deadly. Along this railway line, railway workers
[00:02:09] evacuate one by one the bodies of victims, killed after a
[00:02:13] Moved by the distress of the lottery strike on a busy station 30 km from the
[00:02:16] capital.
[00:02:23] The noise was deafening, and as the air raid alert was still in
[00:02:26] progress, I didn't dare look around me.
[00:02:30] running in the street. According to the Ukrainian
[00:02:39] essentially to and then I saw people covered in blood
[00:02:44] army, Russia fired 115 long-range
[00:02:47] drones and 28 missiles on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, but
[00:02:51] only 98 drones could be neutralized. Ukrainian
[00:02:55] anti-aircraft defenses failed to intercept any missile.
[00:02:59] weakened.
[00:03:03] confronted with the burning issues now, since on July 8 at the NATO
[00:03:05] of current events in the 27 countries of
[00:03:19] to it, yes, but at the beginning of the
[00:03:30] Donald Trump to deliver Patriot missiles to him, the only ones capable
[00:03:33] of intercepting the most powerful Russian missiles, but according to the
[00:03:37] Financial Times, Trump refused this request due to
[00:03:40] the shortage of Patriots in American stocks since the
[00:03:44] beginning of the war in the Middle East.
[00:03:48] And so it's time for the double decryption in Paris Live, with you Melina
[00:03:51] Huet, senior reporter here at France 24, I also salute Jean-Paul Palomeros, thank
[00:03:55] you for being here, former Chief of Staff of the Air Force and former Supreme Allied Commander for
[00:03:59] NATO transformation. Melina, the news in Ukraine are these new Russian strikes on
[00:04:03] Kramatorsk, a city you have visited several times for reports, and what strikes you
[00:04:06] today is that 4 and a half years after the start of the large-scale invasion of
[00:04:10] Ukraine, some people are deciding to flee today Kramatorsk, which is a city under a dome
[00:04:14] with anti-drone nets everywhere, is that right? Absolutely, so in fact there are
[00:04:18] figures that are very telling, that is, for example, yesterday alone, Wednesday, Kramatorsk was
[00:04:22] targeted 31 times by both FPV drones and
[00:04:26] glide bombs. When I was there, there were already glide bombs, much
[00:04:30] fewer FPV drones. Residential buildings are affected. The military governor
[00:04:33] of the region ordered the evacuation of 525 children,
[00:04:37] each with their legal representative(s). What has changed
[00:04:40] in 4 and a half years, in fact, is distance. You will look at this map,
[00:04:44] Kramatorsk is now about twenty kilometers from the contact
[00:04:47] line. It was still a relative rear when I was there. It
[00:04:51] was often a base from which we did not necessarily do reports in Kramatorsk, but we were
[00:04:55] based there and then we moved into the Donbas by lodging in
[00:04:58] Kramatorsk. Today, Russian
[00:05:01] strategic key to drones strike cars on the road to Sloviansk, 25 km from the front. You
[00:05:04] also see Druzhkivka, which is a
[00:05:07] night, the General Directorate of city where we, as journalists, used to stay a lot for years, which
[00:05:10] is 16 km now from the first
[00:05:14] Russian positions. Druzhkivka is where our colleague Anthony Lalican died, precisely
[00:05:17] killed by a Russian drone attack. And today I was discussing this
[00:05:21] morning with Nikita, 27 years old, who has always lived in
[00:05:24] Kramatorsk, who, with his wife, was
[00:05:27] evacuated in 2022. They went to Lviv, they only stayed there for 6 months,
[00:05:31] they returned to Kramatorsk because the people who live in Kramatorsk are very,
[00:05:35] very, very attached to this city. They opened a pizzeria in 2024 and they
[00:05:38] told me: "Today, I quote, will be our last day of opening."
[00:05:44] the worsening situation and the fact that the city is depopulating, they
[00:05:48] are simply giving up after 4 years." That's the situation in
[00:05:51] Kramatorsk, Jean-Paul Palomeros, we see that Ukraine is now at the mercy of these Russian
[00:05:55] strikes, it no longer has the real capacity to intercept the ballistic
[00:05:58] missiles fired by its enemy. The question of the moment is
[00:06:01] these famous licenses that Donald Trump could cede to Ukraine for
[00:06:05] Patriot-type air defense missiles, but that could take time
[00:06:09] when there is an emergency. Do we know how this cooperation between
[00:06:13] Ukraine and the United States in this matter could be articulated?
[00:06:16] No, it remains very virtual, moreover Donald Trump had
[00:06:20] quite changing attitudes on
[00:06:23] the he said it would be possible and now he
[00:06:26] says it's dangerous because indeed, uh, giving a
[00:06:30] right on a license is also giving
[00:06:34] knowledge and therefore the Patriot not 3 because
[00:06:37] it is indeed that one, the last, the most effective
[00:06:40] uh...
[00:06:43] the technology would be in Ukrainian hands, so we are far
[00:06:46] from it and even if this license were given, it would take at least
[00:06:50] several months or several years to do it, if I can continue on
[00:06:53] Kramatorsk because it is very
[00:06:56] the strategy of Vladimir Putin of the Russians
[00:07:00] today, it is all of these fortresses, if you like, that constituted
[00:07:04] the strategic defense line, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk,
[00:07:08] Konstantinovka, and uh these three fortresses, you have
[00:07:12] to... look, it's not surprising that Putin
[00:07:15] uses his advantage in terms of ballistic biology, but
[00:07:18] also, we talk about it quite little, but you mentioned glide
[00:07:22] bombs, the Ukrainians can do nothing against these
[00:07:26] bombs, they are fired at a distance by Russian bombers and they arrive and
[00:07:29] they cause extraordinary damage, however these three cities now
[00:07:33] fortress, they are within reach of these glide
[00:07:36] bombs which are constantly being modernized, constantly more
[00:07:40] effective and so we are in...
[00:07:42] in a situation that I would describe as critical, no more defense against ballistic
[00:07:46] missiles, difficulty defending against attacks of the glide bomb
[00:07:50] type, and yet the Ukrainians are making a lot of effort,
[00:07:54] but the situation is really very, very, very
[00:07:57] critical, even if the Ukrainians are still waiting for these licenses, we still feel a Donald
[00:08:00] Trump a little more inclined to help Kyiv, that means that the situation
[00:08:03] has changed on the ground and that the American president feels that the tide has turned, well I would say that
[00:08:07] the tone has changed but that the commitment remains fluid, that's what General
[00:08:11] Panomero said just
[00:08:14] summit in Ankara, Donald Trump had announced to Volodymyr
[00:08:18] Zelensky the license to manufacture Patriots, but he specified right
[00:08:21] after that the industrialists had not been warned, 3 weeks later at Camp David
[00:08:25] he declared that Washington had not granted anything, in fact there is a reason for this, he says
[00:08:29] that a technology is difficult to transfer because a
[00:08:33] country that receives it can one day turn against you, so it still shows a certain
[00:08:36] nervousness. I think that what has really changed
[00:08:39] is above all Donald Trump's irritation towards Vladimir
[00:08:42] Putin in the face of a Kremlin that signs nothing or does not really show
[00:08:46] any desire to sign anything? Jean-Paul Palmero, on this
[00:08:49] war dynamic, can we say that Ukraine today
[00:08:53] has the advantage, we were talking about this absence or lack of air defense system, it
[00:08:56] penalizes it heavily, doesn't it? No,
[00:08:59] no, Ukraine, we must not boast,
[00:09:03] Ukraine does not have the advantage, we are in a critical phase,
[00:09:07] everything that could be done to help the Ukrainians but unfortunately.
[00:09:10] the country of the coalition of volunteers
[00:09:13] has practically nothing left in its bunkers that would
[00:09:16] allow it to help
[00:09:20] Ukraine, whether in the interception of ballistic missiles or
[00:09:23] uh or glide bombs, so there is a real
[00:09:27] problem unless we quickly give combat aircraft, finally
[00:09:30] and the countries of the coalition, and I am
[00:09:34] certain that they have the same feeling as what I express, but
[00:09:37] uh do the maximum now because you see
[00:09:41] the situation is not
[00:09:43] it's not a surprise if the situation is deteriorating on the front line,
[00:09:47] that's what we must always look at, because if it
[00:09:50] breaks through on the Kramatorsk side, let's say, then it's the
[00:09:54] open road to Dnipropetrovsk
[00:09:57] and how far will it go? So, and the Russians
[00:10:00] are losing thousands of men precisely to achieve this
[00:10:04] victory, it's not by chance that they send so much cannon
[00:10:08] fodder, thousands and thousands of soldiers, it's because
[00:10:11] they consider it to be the
[00:10:13] the war as a whole and the
[00:10:17] transition is found. We were talking about these nets earlier, these nets go all the way to Dnipro,
[00:10:21] a symbol of a whole country at war, yes, absolutely. So in fact, these... these nets,
[00:10:25] they draw a map, Florence, that where they are stretched, drones arrive
[00:10:29] or are already present. I was in Dnipro in February and in June
[00:10:33] last year and the workers who install these immense nets, they get
[00:10:37] closer and closer to the city, they are not inside today but they are on the main roads
[00:10:40] that lead. At first, I saw them stretch them simply above
[00:10:44] checkpoints when there were soldiers, in fact, but now it has been spreading week by
[00:10:48] week. 2 years ago, that seems a long time ago, but in fact it was
[00:10:52] yesterday, it covered just a few hundred meters of logistic axis. It was near the zero
[00:10:55] line. Here you see it in these images, even fishing nets that are
[00:10:59] sometimes built in France, in Brittany, that's a report by our correspondent Gelever
[00:11:03] Krag to also show international solidarity.
[00:11:06] Today they run for entire roads in Izium as well as on
[00:11:10] the access roads to Kherson. In fact, what is important is to understand
[00:11:14] that the notion of the rear is progressively disappearing, it is
[00:11:17] receding at the pace of the reach of machines. In fact, we make absolutely
[00:11:21] incredible technological bombs. The general was talking earlier about glide bombs,
[00:11:25] they also cause enormous damage, and in fact this is reflected in ordinary life in
[00:11:29] Kherson or elsewhere. I was not far from
[00:11:32] Pokrovsk last February. In fact, we drive with
[00:11:35] lights off at night so as not to be spotted. In Kramatorsk, which we were talking
[00:11:39] about earlier, families are now leaving after having held on for 4 years and
[00:11:43] I dare say even longer since 2014 because what the general said is
[00:11:46] true, Kramatorsk is a logistical hub, so if the Russians take
[00:11:49] it, then the entire remaining part of Donetsk
[00:11:53] falls. Now, one last thing, a small figure nonetheless, it's very important, there
[00:11:57] are 115,000 residents left in the free part of Donetsk, including more than
[00:12:00] 6,100 children. General, we see that deep attacks on Russian
[00:12:04] territory but also Ukrainian are multiplying in recent weeks with the consequence
[00:12:08] of course of more and more civilians being targeted. We still have in mind these images
[00:12:12] of this drone following a vegetable vendor in Kherson. Russia,
[00:12:16] which is slowly beginning, we learned yesterday, the droneization of its
[00:12:19] aging army, is it essential for her
[00:12:21] today?
[00:12:24] Oh, well, they are drawing lessons from what they are
[00:12:27] experiencing. It has been like this since practically the beginning of the
[00:12:30] war. The Russians are surprised because they didn't have the flexibility
[00:12:33] of maneuver and so on, and then they see in front of them
[00:12:37] Ukraine, uh, which was supposed to fall so
[00:12:41] easily and without a fight, which is constantly
[00:12:45] reinventing war, and in particular in drones, and in particular
[00:12:48] thanks to the former minister Fedorov, not to
[00:12:51] mention him, uh, and so they are reorganizing, and incidentally,
[00:12:55] they are reorganizing, and incidentally, Putin has completely
[00:12:58] dismissed an entire level of
[00:13:00] army command
[00:13:04] reorganize it precisely around drones and give much more flexibility
[00:13:07] of use because he understood that it was a vital weapon on the
[00:13:11] front and if he significantly
[00:13:14] improves the use of drones, obviously it can only
[00:13:18] lead to even more casualties. The Ukrainian response, in my opinion, there are
[00:13:22] not 50, they must persist in trying to
[00:13:25] continue to arm this defense, but
[00:13:29] it is difficult, but they must persist in their deep attacks to harm
[00:13:32] the Russians, but that will be obvious,
[00:13:36] Melina, when you were in the field, you were able to see how much these
[00:13:39] drones have changed the game on the battlefield, you were a direct witness
[00:13:44] large-scale invasion, it's true that when we were with the Ukrainian soldiers, they tended to
[00:13:48] make fun of the Russians because they didn't follow the dynamics,
[00:13:52] indeed, it is also due to an extremely rigid command, whereas the Ukrainians
[00:13:55] made every effort very quickly, they created small labs in garages to try
[00:13:59] to catch up very, very quickly with even commercial drones. Today,
[00:14:03] it has completely changed scale, and I
[00:14:07] can tell you that the Ukrainians are laughing much less. I was still in
[00:14:11] the Zaporizhzhia region last June and I was really, really far from the
[00:14:14] front line, I was 40 km away and yet
[00:14:18] I was with a brigade that I cannot name but we were in a kind of makeshift camp, a makeshift
[00:14:22] base and yet being so far away, we were
[00:14:25] victims of a drone attack. Fortunately, it was an attempted attack that
[00:14:29] failed, but to tell you how far away we are and we can be
[00:14:33] attacked by these drones. In fact, the figures
[00:14:36] speak for themselves. In Kherson, for example, which you mentioned earlier, the regional administration
[00:14:40] counts about 5,500 drone attacks per
[00:14:42] week, compared to 2,500 a year earlier.
[00:14:46] In fact, for the month of April alone, at least 230 civilian and emergency
[00:14:50] vehicles were damaged or destroyed, and also an
[00:14:53] international law point. In fact, the UN investigative commission qualified these
[00:14:57] strikes against civilians in Kherson, you mentioned this human safari that we saw a
[00:15:00] lot on social media, it qualifies
[00:15:03] this as constituent murder, a crime against humanity.
[00:15:07] This range, it must be specified, works both ways, the Ukrainian drones
[00:15:11] now reach Samara, the Vladimir region, more
[00:15:15] than 100 km away, so all of this, of course, we are talking about technological
[00:15:18] advances, it goes one way as well as
[00:15:22] the other, and so obviously it changes the way we look at war
[00:15:25] today and also the response, of course, to be provided at the technological level.
[00:15:29] Last question for you, General, we know that warehouses of the Russian giant
[00:15:33] Wildberries have been attacked in recent days, is the Ukrainian military
[00:15:36] strategy evolving, particularly that of attacking its neighbor's
[00:15:39] wallet? Yes, it's been a while already,
[00:15:42] simply, well, the Ukrainians, uh, still some time ago,
[00:15:46] did not have the means, they did not wait for us to provide
[00:15:50] them because, in particular, the Americans did not want to provide them, and very
[00:15:53] courageously, they set to work as they know how to do, and they
[00:15:57] built these quite extraordinary offensive means that
[00:16:01] surprised many people, including today cruise missiles,
[00:16:04] including, it's ongoing, ballistic missiles. This is the
[00:16:08] strength of the Ukrainians, it's innovation, the will to
[00:16:11] fight, uh intelligence, uh
[00:16:14] and and uh but they need financial support, well
[00:16:18] uh for now the European Union, in any case the coalition of volunteers is doing
[00:16:21] it, and then some help also in very specific areas and there only
[00:16:25] the Americans can move, we must convince Donald Trump to release
[00:16:29] some Patriots from his stocks, I know it's long because during the
[00:16:33] war uh in the Middle East there was frenzied consumption, there were
[00:16:37] 3 years of consumption in the space of a few weeks, it's
[00:16:41] incredible, so Ukraine needs
[00:16:44] help, but already, on its
[00:16:47] own, it is capable of holding Russia at bay and striking deep,
[00:16:50] which is also good news, thank you General for accepting
[00:16:54] France 24's invitation today, thank you for your insights, thank you Elina,
[00:16:58] Melina, forgive me for all your explanations, thank you
[00:17:01] very much. They were killed by an explosive device,
[00:17:05] two Israeli soldiers died in Lebanon. This is a first in a
[00:17:08] month there, four others were injured. The Israeli
[00:17:12] army, in the wake of this, carried out retaliatory strikes, killing one
[00:17:15] person, according to Beirut. Hello, Auba, we find you from
[00:17:19] Beirut, there have therefore been new strikes by the Israeli state
[00:17:23] in Lebanon after the explosion of a booby-trapped device that killed
[00:17:26] two Israeli soldiers.
[00:17:27] Hello.
[00:17:31] Hello, there were indeed several Israeli strikes that hit the south
[00:17:35] yesterday, killing at least one person and injuring 10 others. Earlier in the day, two
[00:17:39] Israeli soldiers and seven others were injured in the explosion of a booby-trapped
[00:17:42] object in the locality of Majdal Zoun in southern
[00:17:46] Lebanon. This is a first since the signing of the framework agreement
[00:17:49] in late June between the Lebanese and Israeli
[00:17:52] authorities. Consequently, the Israeli authorities ordered
[00:17:56] the evacuation of the residents of Mansouri, a locality that is
[00:17:59] just above the yellow line unilaterally
[00:18:02] drawn by the Israeli army as its security
[00:18:05] zone. The Israeli army, which currently occupies more than
[00:18:08] 60 villages in southern Lebanon, denounced a
[00:18:11] serious violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah, while Hezbollah's spokesman
[00:18:14] declared this morning that he was not able to say whether or not the booby-trapped object that
[00:18:18] exploded belonged to them. And the question we are asking
[00:18:21] today, Aubin, is what impact can this resurgence of violence have on the
[00:18:25] current negotiations in Rome between Israel and Lebanon, this is
[00:18:28] the 7th round of talks?
[00:18:32] Well, in any case, they had an impact yesterday since the negotiation session was interrupted
[00:18:36] prematurely due to the intervention of the Americans following these
[00:18:39] new tensions between Israel and Hezbollah
[00:18:42] uh the discussions, the negotiations had nevertheless
[00:18:46] been considered constructive by Washington,
[00:18:49] today they have resumed, at the heart of the discussions today should be
[00:18:53] these pilot zones, these pilot zones are sectors controlled by the Israeli
[00:18:57] army from which it should gradually withdraw, making way
[00:19:01] for the Lebanese armed forces, which would then be tasked with
[00:19:05] dismantling possible infrastructures or positions
[00:19:08] of Hezbollah. This mission,
[00:19:11] this arrangement should then be
[00:19:14] ensured by a verification mechanism that could be
[00:19:17] entrusted to Italy. It should be remembered that today Israel refuses
[00:19:21] any French involvement in this mission, thank you Aubin for all these
[00:19:25] details live from Beirut. This question also in the news, what
[00:19:29] future for Gianni Infantino at the head of FIFA? Weakened,
[00:19:32] as you know, by several controversies, the head of world football can
[00:19:36] now count on the full support of his management,
[00:19:40] internal support while more and more federations are demanding his departure.
[00:19:44] Explanations by Alice Broga.
[00:19:46] Leaving the FIFA African headquarters in Salé, Morocco,
[00:19:50] its president Gianni Infantino hopes to turn the page on the
[00:19:53] controversies. Under fire from critics for having single-handedly set up a project
[00:19:57] to sell off part of FIFA's commercial rights, he
[00:20:00] leaves with the full support of his executive committee.
[00:20:03] This one, however, apologized to the member countries for the mistakes
[00:20:07] made: it was agreed that it was in no
[00:20:11] way the intention to exclude the FIFA Council and FIFA member associations
[00:20:15] from the process and that this should have been handled
[00:20:18] differently.
[00:20:20] Last week, leaks in the press revealed Gianni Infantino's
[00:20:24] project to create a new entity responsible for organizing
[00:20:28] FIFA competitions and selling 20% of them to private
[00:20:31] investors. Faced with an outcry, the project was abandoned
[00:20:35] on Friday without silencing its detractors.
[00:20:50] "FIFA has its own procedures for making this kind of decision, but for
[00:20:54] my part, I no longer trust Mr. Infantino after what happened.
[00:20:58] But Gianni Infantino benefits from the
[00:21:01] support of several federations, particularly in Africa and the
[00:21:04] Middle East, thanks to which he hopes to avoid the convocation of an
[00:21:08] extraordinary congress to replace him. He also hopes to
[00:21:11] be re-elected for a fourth term at the next congress in
[00:21:14] March. His opponents, like UEFA and the Confederation of
[00:21:18] North American and Caribbean Football, have until November 18
[00:21:22] to find another candidate.
[00:21:26] It's an incredible story, in Italy, in Puglia, a player
[00:21:29] finally won 1 million euros in the lottery, she who
[00:21:33] had thrown away her ticket, it was without counting on the help of the garbage collectors,
[00:21:37] we see that with Annake,
[00:21:40] we often say that money has no smell, this time however it
[00:21:44] really smelled of garbage, it's among
[00:21:47] these waste that Italian garbage collectors found a
[00:21:51] lottery ticket worth one million euros, its owner
[00:21:54] had thrown it away a few hours earlier, convinced that it was
[00:21:57] a losing ticket, she will finally be able to collect the big
[00:22:01] prize. When we found it, there was an explosion of joy, we
[00:22:05] all hugged each other, it was really very moving.
[00:22:08] The story begins in this small Italian tobacco shop,
[00:22:12] last Saturday, a customer comes to check her lottery ticket, the machine
[00:22:16] indicates that it is unpayable, thinking she has lost, she leaves it to the
[00:22:20] tobacconist who throws it in this trash, but in
[00:22:23] reality, the ticket is a winner, the woman
[00:22:26] misunderstood the message displayed by the
[00:22:29] machine, "not payable" means that the amount is
[00:22:33] so high that it cannot be withdrawn at a tobacco shop. When the
[00:22:37] winner realizes her mistake, she frantically calls the tobacconist,
[00:22:40] but the trash can has already been
[00:22:43] emptied. It was really
[00:22:47] horrible, I saw that there was no more... bag in our
[00:22:50] trash can. So the customer and her relatives went
[00:22:54] directly to the waste sorting center,
[00:22:58] they were really very
[00:22:59] anxious.
[00:23:03] player, the garbage collectors searched for several hours through tons
[00:23:07] of refuse to finally find the winning
[00:23:11] ticket, a small miracle that brings joy
[00:23:14] to the whole town. It's
[00:23:17] truly incredible, this kind of thing doesn't happen all the time.
[00:23:23] It's really extraordinary, congratulations to this winner who was lucky
[00:23:27] twice. The winner, who prefers to remain anonymous,
[00:23:31] will therefore be able to cash in 1 million euros. Grateful, she
[00:23:34] promised to compensate the waste management
[00:23:37] company. In 6 days, next August
[00:23:41] 12th, the sun will disappear for a few
[00:23:44] moments, a solar eclipse visible in France but also in Spain,
[00:23:47] always an exceptional spectacle, but... dangerous to observe with the naked eye without
[00:23:51] special glasses. But how are they made? Our colleagues from France 2
[00:23:55] investigated. The
[00:23:58] night in broad daylight, as in 1999
[00:24:02] with this twilight atmosphere, when the sun
[00:24:05] plays hide-and-seek with the moon, but to admire this eclipse, you still need
[00:24:09] to be well equipped with appropriate glasses. You shouldn't look at the
[00:24:12] sun for too long anyway, so if you don't have the right glasses, you can
[00:24:16] really damage your eyes. In recent weeks, this manufacturer.
[00:24:20] has been multiplying deliveries of protective glasses,
[00:24:24] hundreds of thousands of pairs specially designed to observe this
[00:24:27] phenomenon as rare as spectacular, the
[00:24:30] moon passing between the earth and the sun, preventing its
[00:24:34] light from reaching our planet, a spectacle to
[00:24:38] observe with opaque glasses, it's a filter
[00:24:41] that reflects the sun's harmful rays
[00:24:45] outside and inside, the filter is black,
[00:24:48] it's a filter that... the orange-tinted image of the
[00:24:51] sun. These protective glasses meet precise
[00:24:54] standards and are delivered with a certificate of conformity.
[00:24:58] At this optician's, already about fifty pairs sold at 3
[00:25:02] euros each. It's now or never because
[00:25:06] apparently there won't be another one as complete
[00:25:09] for some time and maybe it will be the
[00:25:12] last of our lives. In 1999 in France, during
[00:25:16] the last total eclipse, some had improvised by making makeshift glasses.
[00:25:20] To be avoided because even partial sunlight can pass through
[00:25:24] the eye and burn the retina in a matter of seconds, a
[00:25:28] burn with consequences sometimes
[00:25:30] irreversible. The sun's light ray will
[00:25:34] burn these fundamental cells, a black spot that
[00:25:37] is somewhat etched in front of us,
[00:25:40] except that this black spot doesn't go away anymore and so when we look at people we no longer see their
[00:25:44] faces, we no longer see the center, we can no longer read.
[00:25:48] It's a bayou that the darkness on... the most important, almost total.
[00:25:52] The spectacle will be visible everywhere in France, but a week before the big
[00:25:57] Health is concerned about possible stock shortages
[00:26:01] of glasses to observe the eclipse.
[00:26:04] And you stay there, we'll meet again in 4 minutes for a new news report, see you soon.
[00:26:18] Every year, Thailand organizes a unique event in the world, the
[00:26:21] terrible military service lottery. Young men
[00:26:25] who draw a red card are automatically enlisted for 2
[00:26:28] years.
[00:27:12] Watch the weather with Tramier, an extra virgin olive
[00:27:16] oil without pesticide residues, to take care of
[00:27:19] yourselves and those you love, Tramier, pass on the
[00:27:22] true
[00:27:23] taste.
[00:28:57] decide. Facing Caroline de Camaret, they answer all your
[00:29:00] questions. The Americans.
[00:29:03] Unpredictable, a great guest
[00:29:07] the Union and the concerns of citizens, he has only one
[00:29:11] dictator, it's Mr. Putin.
[00:29:14] Here in Europe, we're listening to you, presented by Caroline de Camaret,
[00:29:18] to watch on France 24.
[00:30:07] Paris direct, continuation and end on France 24. Headlining this edition:
[00:30:10] Kramatorsk under Russian bombs. On site, civilians living in the
[00:30:14] eastern part of the city have been ordered to evacuate. For its part,
[00:30:18] Moscow says it intercepted more than 600 Ukrainian drones during the
[00:30:21] night. Already more than 1800 deaths, the Ebola epidemic
[00:30:25] continues to spread in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The
[00:30:28] head of the World Health Organization is on site, he calls
[00:30:32] for an intensified health response. And then
[00:30:35] criticized internationally, he is now supported internally. In the eye of the storm, after
[00:30:38] several controversies, FIFA President
[00:30:42] Gianni Infantino wants to turn the page, his management apologized
[00:30:45] yesterday for its errors. The analysis will be later on set with
[00:30:49] Benochet.
