[00:00:07] 24, the news around the world this Thursday, first this new exchange of
[00:00:11] strikes between Ukraine and Russia, drones launched on Russian
[00:00:14] refineries against attacks on several Ukrainian
[00:00:18] Gravstrom or even Kevin Lamour, FIFA's number cities, Kyiv hopes to convince its Western allies to provide it with anti-missile
[00:00:22] defenses. We will take stock in a moment with Melina Huet.
[00:00:25] Israel, for its part, continues to strike Lebanon on the third day of negotiations
[00:00:29] yet. ongoing in Rome with the Lebanese authorities, clashes with Hezbollah
[00:00:33] have left two Israeli victims, soldiers killed by an
[00:00:36] explosive device. And then assailed by criticism and calls for his
[00:00:40] resignation, Janny Infantino receives the support of FIFA, the president of the
[00:00:44] International Football Federation, apologized yesterday during an emergency meeting
[00:00:48] in Rabat for his aborted proposal to open the World Cup to private
[00:00:55] new album Boulevard de investors.
[00:00:58] hit, the military governor of
[00:01:05] Ukraine and Russia are striking back and forth in recent hours, while
[00:01:08] Kyiv again targeted Russian territory in depth,
[00:01:12] refineries up to 1300 km beyond the front line,
[00:01:15] Russian strikes have killed seven Ukrainian civilians in the regions
[00:01:19] of Kharkiv, Sumy and in the Black Sea. New
[00:01:22] illustration of the lack of interceptor missiles on the Ukrainian
[00:01:26] side. Please note, some images that follow may be
[00:01:29] particularly disturbing. Alice Broga.
[00:01:33] After more than 20 hours of search, Ukrainian
[00:01:36] rescuers extract from the rubble a lifeless
[00:01:38] body. A civilian killed in a Russian strike that occurred the day before on this
[00:01:42] building in Kramatorsk. Faced with the
[00:01:45] proliferation of Russian attacks, the authorities of this city in the Donetsk
[00:01:48] region in eastern Ukraine ordered on Wednesday evening
[00:01:52] the evacuation of about 500 children and their families who still
[00:01:57] Aliben Alussein is the president of lived in the city. In the Kyiv region too, the attacks are... increasingly numerous and
[00:02:01] deadly, along this railway line, railway workers
[00:02:05] evacuate one by one the bodies of victims, killed after a
[00:02:08] strike on a busy station 30 km from the capital,
[00:02:12] a resident testifies to a night
[00:02:14] of horror,
[00:02:18] the noise was deafening and as the air raid siren was still
[00:02:21] on, I dared not look around me,
[00:02:24] then there were explosions, structures
[00:02:27] collapsing. and a lot of
[00:02:30] smoke,
[00:02:33] there's a station nearby, and then I saw people covered in blood
[00:02:37] running in the street, according to the Ukrainian army, Russia
[00:02:40] fired 115 long-range drones and 28 missiles on Tuesday
[00:02:44] night, but only 98 drones could be
[00:02:48] neutralized. Ukrainian anti-aircraft defenses failed to
[00:02:52] intercept any of the missiles. A weakening attributed by President
[00:02:56] Zelensky to delays in the delivery of missile interceptors.
[00:03:16] very particular context of
[00:03:30] the most efficient Russians, but landscapes adorn the walls of according to the Financial Times,
[00:03:34] some of the hidden treasures of Trump refused this request due to the shortage of Patriots
[00:03:37] in American stocks since the beginning of the war in the
[00:03:40] Middle East.
[00:03:43] And to talk about it with us, Melina Huet, senior reporter at France 24. Hello Melina, you
[00:03:47] have been to Ukraine many times to cover the conflict, especially
[00:03:50] for France 24, despite the apparent warming between Donald Trump and
[00:03:54] Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president's requests
[00:03:57] for more of these defense systems. for the time being, remain
[00:04:00] unanswered, yes absolutely, in fact the
[00:04:02] killed last April in Israeli tone has changed Raphael, but the commitment remains uncertain, we must first
[00:04:06] remember that on July 8 at the NATO summit, Donald Trump had
[00:04:09] indeed announced to Volodymyr Zelensky a license to
[00:04:13] manufacture Patriots, but immediately afterwards, he said that the industrialists had not even been
[00:04:17] informed, so to show a little the level of preparation of this announcement,
[00:04:20] 3 weeks later at Camp David, he declares that Washington has
[00:04:24] granted nothing, in fact according to him, it is a technology that is difficult to
[00:04:27] transfer, he says because a country. that receives it may one day turn
[00:04:32] Europe and Western against you, again this also shows the level of trust of
[00:04:35] Washington towards Kyiv, on the ground, it should be known that the Russian
[00:04:38] advantage has reduced but without disappearing, the Russian army
[00:04:42] attacks more, it progresses less
[00:04:45] recorded in the country. The head of but it still progresses, especially in the Donetsk region in the
[00:04:48] east, what has changed in fact is above all Donald
[00:04:51] Trump's annoyance because he is facing a Kremlin that does not
[00:04:55] seem to want to move, that does not seem to
[00:04:58] want to sign any
[00:05:02] The communiqué also recalls that the senior officials of peace agreement whatsoever, while you say he has shown evidence of sustained effort without ever
[00:05:06] it being reciprocated on the other side. you mentioned the
[00:05:09] eastern front and at the same time the Ukrainian authorities have... called for the evacuation of
[00:05:13] Kramatorsk near this front line, you were able to speak
[00:05:16] with Ukrainians on the ground, yes absolutely, so you have to know that Kramatorsk,
[00:05:20] it's a city that's not that far from the front line, not only since 2022 but
[00:05:24] since 2014, in fact you see it there on this
[00:05:28] map, Kramatorsk has gradually approached the contact
[00:05:31] line, today we are only about twenty kilometers away,
[00:05:35] Drushkifka which is just below which is a city where our journalists
[00:05:38] were based for a very long time, for several years, today we barely go
[00:05:42] there anymore because there are drones everywhere, there are nets everywhere, there are only soldiers left,
[00:05:46] it is today 16 km from the front line of Russian
[00:05:49] soldiers, in fact Kramatorsk yesterday for example
[00:05:53] just yesterday was targeted in one day 31 times
[00:05:57] not only by FPV drones but also by glide bombs and glide bombs are very
[00:06:01] difficult to intercept, if not almost impossible for Ukrainians, these
[00:06:05] are essentially residential buildings like what you see behind me that are
[00:06:10] the region consequently ordered the evacuation.
[00:06:12] of 525 children each with their legal representative(s), what you need to know
[00:06:16] is that Kramatorsk has had several evacuation orders since
[00:06:20] 2022, what has changed in 4 and a half years is
[00:06:23] the need to do it more and more, the fact that the city has gradually
[00:06:26] emptied, that the front line has approached, indeed you said, this
[00:06:30] morning I spoke with residents of Kramatorsk, including a young
[00:06:34] couple with Nikita and his wife, 27 years old, who have
[00:06:37] always lived in Kramatorsk, in fact they were first evacuated in 2022,
[00:06:41] they left. they lived, they stayed only 6 months there and then they came back
[00:06:45] and in 2024 because they thought that maybe it would get better, they even started a
[00:06:49] business, they opened a restaurant, a pizzeria and today he
[00:06:53] told me this morning he told me today is the last day we
[00:06:56] open we are packing up it's been more than 4 years but that's it we are leaving
[00:07:00] they are going to Irpin they say it's too much there's the worsening of the
[00:07:04] situation and then the fact that the city is simply depopulating,
[00:07:06] thank you Melina Ued, that's
[00:07:10] for the situation in Ukraine, next. and end of negotiations in Rome between
[00:07:14] Israelis and Lebanese, they aim to allow a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli
[00:07:18] army from southern Lebanon in exchange for Hezbollah's
[00:07:21] disarmament, but the Shiite movement refuses to lay down its arms and
[00:07:25] the Hebrew state still strikes Lebanese territory, two Israeli
[00:07:28] soldiers died, Romain
[00:07:30] Michelot.
[00:07:33] The sky of Lebanon, once again crossed by Israeli
[00:07:36] flares. Here in the south of the country, the army has resumed its
[00:07:40] bombardments and clashes with Hezbollah.
[00:07:44] In response to a blatant violation of the ceasefire by
[00:07:47] Hezbollah, the Israeli army began to carry out targeted strikes in southern
[00:07:51] Lebanon. At least one person died on the Lebanese
[00:07:54] side. Two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion, a
[00:07:58] first in over a month. Sporadic but
[00:08:02] recurring clashes despite a security agreement that came into effect at the end of
[00:08:05] June. Israel occupies a so-called security zone in
[00:08:08] southern Lebanon about ten kilometers from the border.
[00:08:12] but residents of towns and villages north of this zone can
[00:08:16] officially return home, in fact, this resumption of
[00:08:19] clashes and evacuation orders complicates this
[00:08:22] process according to the UN. This new order
[00:08:25] comes as displaced families have returned home in southern
[00:08:29] Lebanon in recent weeks. The situation
[00:08:32] remains fragile and residents remain in uncertainty.
[00:08:36] Demolition operations, bombardments and other military activities
[00:08:39] damage homes, agricultural land and. civil
[00:08:43] infrastructure. These clashes are taking place during a period of
[00:08:46] negotiations in Rome under the auspices of the United States. They concern the
[00:08:50] deployment of the Lebanese army in pilot zones evacuated by
[00:08:53] Israel. But they involve Hezbollah's disarmament, which the Shiite
[00:08:57] group has so far refused. Since the beginning of the war between Israel and
[00:09:01] Hezbollah, at least 4300 people in Lebanon
[00:09:04] and 38 Israeli soldiers have died according to
[00:09:07] authorities.
[00:09:09] And among the many dead in Lebanon, the journalist. Khalil
[00:09:15] army strikes, she had taken refuge in a building then
[00:09:19] targeted by Taal, a deliberate attack, several NGOs
[00:09:22] estimate today, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the Lebanese
[00:09:26] organization Legal Agenda, they accuse Israel of war
[00:09:30] crimes.
[00:09:32] Gianni Infantino saves his job at the head of FIFA, at least for
[00:09:36] now, the president of the International Football Federation
[00:09:39] apologized yesterday to the 211 federations. after his
[00:09:43] controversial project to open the football World Cups to private investors
[00:09:47] Benochet absolutely circulate, there's nothing more to
[00:09:49] see, a simple press release, no statement
[00:09:53] at the end of this crisis meeting which was therefore
[00:09:56] held yesterday in Morocco around Gianni Infantino and
[00:10:00] a mea culpa to the 211 member countries
[00:10:03] for, I quote, the errors committed concerning the now abandoned project of
[00:10:06] selling part of the commercial rights of the World Cup, the management of this
[00:10:10] project should have been different.
[00:10:14] the body have reaffirmed their full
[00:10:17] support, renewed their confidence in Infantino and warns that henceforth
[00:10:20] everyone must fall into line, FIFA will no longer tolerate
[00:10:23] any attack on its. its good governance and the regularity of its
[00:10:26] procedures, all necessary measures will be taken to
[00:10:29] protect its reputation, a thinly veiled
[00:10:32] threat to all those who dared to speak out against this
[00:10:36] project last week, we are obviously thinking of Arsene Wenger, we are thinking of the
[00:10:39] general secretary of the body, Matthias
[00:10:43] 3, FIFA which is trying to turn the page
[00:10:47] on what constitutes the most important crisis since Johnny Franctino took office in 2016, a fault admitted, a fault half
[00:10:50] forgiven as the saying
[00:10:54] goes. not so sure yeah project abandoned since you said it Benochet
[00:10:58] and yet that hasn't calmed the detractors no Infantino who put his finger in something that
[00:11:01] escapes him has he already gone too far, he whose re-election next
[00:11:05] March for a fourth term seemed almost certain still
[00:11:09] 2 weeks ago he is the only declared candidate for this
[00:11:12] election this project to sell part of the World Cup rights really didn't go
[00:11:15] down well with several confederations we talked a lot about UEFA the
[00:11:19] Concacaf the Asian confederation while waiting for a position
[00:11:23] from the African Football Confederation but we know this CAF
[00:11:27] which could be more favorable to the FIFA president, Infantino's
[00:11:30] detractors who have swallowed a few bitter pills in recent years, there was the
[00:11:34] creation of this brand new version of the Club
[00:11:37] World Cup in an already overloaded calendar, his closeness, we
[00:11:41] saw it a lot John Fantino at the side of American President Donald
[00:11:45] Trump that made some people grit their teeth uh we know that among the
[00:11:49] confederations, advertising spaces disguised as cooling breaks and
[00:11:52] voices are now rising. there were the opposition stances of the British
[00:11:56] and Canadian Prime Ministers, for them
[00:11:59] Infantino is no longer the man for the job and he must leave, that's what
[00:12:03] Portuguese football legend Luis Figo wrote in a column yesterday in the Daily Mail,
[00:12:06] and yes Infantino criticized,
[00:12:10] contested but not yet replaced no, well the first thing is that he is
[00:12:13] the only declared candidate for the moment, Infantino who would use very
[00:12:17] questionable methods to keep his job, Prince
[00:12:22] the Jordanian Football Federation. he even accused him of
[00:12:26] blackmail this week on X, for months, FIFA refused to
[00:12:29] help us on certain issues until I was verbally told during the World
[00:12:32] Cup, that if I supported Infantino, it would greatly
[00:12:36] help our federation. The 2030
[00:12:39] World Cup, you know it is co-organized by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, where
[00:12:43] the final will be played, it has not yet been decided, but according to our colleagues from the
[00:12:46] Times, Infantino would have proposed a deal to the Royal Moroccan
[00:12:50] Federation, you will host the final on condition that you support
[00:12:53] me. election information since denied by
[00:12:57] FIFA, his detractors who will have to find him a
[00:13:01] weighty opponent anyway and that will not be easy, time is running out, the deadline
[00:13:04] for submitting candidacies is next November 18, two names are circulating, that of Canadian
[00:13:08] Victor Montagliani, who is the president of
[00:13:11] Concacaf and the name of the president of the Asian
[00:13:15] confederation, Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim al
[00:13:18] Khalifa, so two names that are mentioned for why not
[00:13:21] succeed Johnny Infantino, in any case it will be necessary to find a personality. capable
[00:13:25] of seducing the most modest federations, we know they are very dependent
[00:13:29] on FIFA payments for their day-to-day
[00:13:33] operations and then the most prosperous associations, historical
[00:13:37] football strongholds, there are 211 members of
[00:13:40] this FIFA, each member association has
[00:13:44] one vote for the ballot, meaning that the federation of Curaçao or
[00:13:47] the Comoros has exactly the same weight as the French or
[00:13:51] German federation, uh the election is
[00:13:53] simple and the dice are now cast, so thank
[00:13:57] you Benochet, that's for football and
[00:14:00] FIFA, we'll see you in fifteen minutes for the rest of the news, it will obviously
[00:14:04] still be around the world on France 24.
[00:14:32] 100 years ago, the Cité Universitaire was born in the heart of
[00:14:35] Paris, a dream of fraternity
[00:14:39] realized by a few humanists, students
[00:14:42] from states who had
[00:14:45] fought against each other during the First World
[00:14:48] War met on this
[00:14:51] campus. Students, researchers
[00:14:55] and artists gathered in 47 houses,
[00:14:59] Joseanna and I met at the United States Foundation, one day she told
[00:15:02] me, Lisa, I need someone who can
[00:15:06] film the process, I said absolutely we're going to do that.
[00:15:10] Today, the Cité Universitaire welcomes
[00:15:13] young people from all over the world.
[00:15:30] four students of different nationalities
[00:15:34] in one and the same kitchen at table.
[00:15:39] They study in different Parisian faculties but meet
[00:15:43] here in the evening,
[00:15:46] all live in the Swedish Students'
[00:15:48] House.
[00:15:55] I am Karl, I am 27 years old and
[00:15:59] I am doing a PhD in
[00:16:01] computer science, I did my bachelor and
[00:16:05] master in Germany where. I used to
[00:16:08] live, my name is Priscilla, I am 26 years old,
[00:16:12] I study at the Pantheon Sorbonne faculty and I live at the Swedish
[00:16:15] House, my name is Marco, I am
[00:16:19] Brazilian Quebecer and I am admitted here in brewing at the Swedish
[00:16:23] House as a Canadian resident, I am in a bachelor's degree in
[00:16:26] political science at the Pantheon University, so I am
[00:16:30] Elsa, I am 23 years old and I study at Science Po in
[00:16:33] Master and I lived in Sweden, so that's why
[00:16:36] when I came to Paris, I wanted to try to have this international
[00:16:40] atmosphere,
[00:16:43] I eat, coffee, the Swedish students' house is the smallest of the 47 houses of the
[00:16:47] university city, one of the oldest
[00:16:50] too,
[00:16:54] here we love the mix of genres and origins,
[00:16:58] as explained by the director Pierre
[00:17:00] Tolcini.
[00:17:04] At the Swedish Students' House, we select the 40... 4
[00:17:08] Swedes who will live at the Cité Universitaire, we
[00:17:11] keep half because we do what we
[00:17:15] call 50% mixing, so there is
[00:17:18] half of the Swedes who will stay at the Swedish Students' House and
[00:17:22] the other 50% are other nationalities
[00:17:26] and even if it is the smallest house at the Cité Universitaire, we
[00:17:29] have each year at least twenty
[00:17:32] nationalities,
[00:17:36] just him, is a concentrate of different cultures,
[00:17:39] welcome to my room, number
[00:17:43] 21,
[00:17:45] Canadian student, he brings his Quebec accent,
[00:17:49] but not only the most important decoration I always bring
[00:17:53] with me is my Brazilian flag, because I am of Brazilian
[00:17:57] origin, I know my family is with me,
[00:18:01] very quickly, this political science student felt at
[00:18:04] ease, at first I wasn't too sure. when
[00:18:08] I saw the room, incredible, very happy also to be in
[00:18:11] Paris to be able to follow football a little closer, Champions League, all
[00:18:15] that, I'm
[00:18:15] happy,
[00:18:20] 12,000 students, researchers and artists are welcomed each year at the
[00:18:24] Cité Universitaire,
[00:18:28] located in a 34 hectare park, it does not
[00:18:31] offer teaching, but here there is a theater,
[00:18:35] a swimming pool and a large
[00:18:37] library which in this exam period is
[00:18:41] packed to the brim,
[00:18:44] the Cité U, as it is known in Paris, was born 100
[00:18:47] years ago,
[00:18:50] the president of the foundation recalls the
[00:18:53] the time, from the interwar
[00:18:57] period, students from states who had
[00:19:00] fought against each other during the First World
[00:19:04] War met on this
[00:19:07] campus and they learned to live
[00:19:11] together, to exchange and fundamentally to
[00:19:14] understand
[00:19:17] that it
[00:19:20] was useful, necessary and possible to build a world of
[00:19:24] peace.
[00:19:27] Building a world of peace, that's what still
[00:19:30] animates today, the debates and projects of the Cité
[00:19:34] Universitaire.
[00:19:37] we are in the process of contravening the pavilion, to make sure that it resists the
[00:19:41] wind, and so we come with
[00:19:44] tie rods, to attach them to the trees and to the piers around the
[00:19:47] site. Matis is French, Susanna
[00:19:51] Polish, Elisa
[00:19:53] Russian. Together, they are working on the
[00:19:57] Peace Pavilion, built in the garden of the Japanese
[00:20:00] House. This pavilion project,
[00:20:04] it is built as part of the commemoration. of Hiroshima and
[00:20:08] Nagasaki, it symbolizes the renewed
[00:20:11] friendship between the United States and Japan, it was
[00:20:14] developed thanks to the support of several houses on the
[00:20:18] campus, and that's what shows, what also reflects
[00:20:21] the image of the city, that these are people who don't
[00:20:25] necessarily know each other and who are ready to
[00:20:29] commit to projects together.
[00:20:33] Among Susanna's acolytes, a young
[00:20:36] videographer wants. Jusanna and I
[00:20:40] met at the United States Foundation and she's my
[00:20:43] neighbor on the 5th floor, one day she told
[00:20:46] me: Lisa, I need someone who... can
[00:20:50] film the process, it would be amazing to film, I said absolutely
[00:20:53] Zoza, you are my best neighbor, absolutely we'll do
[00:20:57] that, many talents
[00:21:00] combined in the wake of the former residents of the Cité
[00:21:04] U, among them, the Greek
[00:21:07] director Costa Gavras, the Senegalese poet Léopold Sédar
[00:21:11] Senghor or even Habib Bourguiba, the
[00:21:15] president who gave his name to the new pavilion of the Tunisian
[00:21:18] House.
[00:21:25] This house was built in 2020, it is an
[00:21:28] extension of the Tunisian house which
[00:21:32] was built in 1953, the house
[00:21:35] has 400 residents, they are
[00:21:39] third-cycle students in master's and doctoral programs who come here
[00:21:42] for a stay of 3 years and
[00:21:46] alongside that there are short-term visitors who come for a short
[00:21:50] stay and who are primarily researchers,
[00:21:53] artists and athletes,
[00:21:56] according to the director of the house,
[00:21:59] several factors explain the strengthening of the Tunisian
[00:22:03] presence at the Cité Universitaire.
[00:22:06] the first reason is the
[00:22:08] ever-increasing demand from students who want to continue
[00:22:12] their studies in France, knowing that France is the
[00:22:15] main destination for Tunisian students. the
[00:22:19] second reason is to participate in this
[00:22:22] utopian but concrete project of
[00:22:25] spreading peace, solidarity
[00:22:28] and cultural dialogue and the third
[00:22:32] reason is to consolidate the historical diplomatic
[00:22:35] relations with a friendly country which is
[00:22:39] France. the Bourguiba pavilion is part of the
[00:22:42] last wave of construction of the houses of the Cité
[00:22:46] Universitaire. modern and authentic at the same time,
[00:22:50] they are the showcases of their respective countries.
[00:22:53] generally,
[00:22:57] the architecture of the houses of the Cité Universitaire is
[00:23:00] remarkable. I think for example, the Swiss
[00:23:04] Foundation was built by Le Corbusier,
[00:23:07] and so today,
[00:23:11] a certain number of
[00:23:14] our houses
[00:23:16] are classified as historical monuments. and
[00:23:20] benefit from special
[00:23:21] protection,
[00:23:24] a vast heritage that makes the Cité U the primary location for
[00:23:28] filming multiple sets in France.
[00:23:52] On weekends, she organizes visits to this open-air
[00:23:54] museum which allows access to some of these
[00:23:58] houses.
[00:24:07] Aztec structures and symbols to
[00:24:10] represent Mexican
[00:24:11] culture.
[00:24:14] While Scandinavian the Danish
[00:24:18] Foundation.
[00:24:24] the Cité Universitaire,
[00:24:27] the Cité contains a number of artworks, paintings,
[00:24:30] frescoes, ceramics that are
[00:24:33] quite exceptional and are still preserved in the houses
[00:24:36] today.
[00:24:38] at the Moroccan House, visitors understand the richness of an
[00:24:42] environment that brings together peoples and
[00:24:45] cultures.
[00:24:48] I would have loved to live here for my doctorate, I think
[00:24:52] I would have been much happier here, because we
[00:24:55] meet people from different countries, and life
[00:24:59] is much simpler when you have a lot of contacts in the
[00:25:01] world,
[00:25:05] the university city always attracts more candidates,
[00:25:09] the number of Chinese residents has tripled in the last 15
[00:25:12] years and China is preparing to open a 300-room house
[00:25:16] that is friendly and eco-responsible,
[00:25:20] at that time there was only
[00:25:22] Europe, well North America
[00:25:25] too, today, it has the whole
[00:25:28] world, it's really the
[00:25:31] totality of cultures and civilizations that
[00:25:35] meet,
[00:25:39] an unforgettable experience for
[00:25:41] those who one day lived
[00:25:44] here,
[00:25:46] I prepared my doctorate in France and I resided in the city.
[00:25:50] international, life in the city marked me, but it's also an experience,
[00:25:53] that's where I met with I met my
[00:25:56] wife who was also a student and the
[00:26:00] chance was given to me to... return to the international
[00:26:05] the Tunisia house, it's magnificent,
[00:30:06] You are still watching the essential on France 24, the news of this Thursday is
[00:30:10] first this new exchange of strikes between Ukraine and Russia, drones
[00:30:14] dropped on Russian refineries against attacks on several
[00:30:17] Ukrainian cities, which hopes to convince its Western allies to
[00:30:21] deliver missiles and anti-missile defenses.
[00:30:24] Israel, for its part, continues to strike Lebanon on the third day of
[00:30:28] negotiations, however, underway in Rome with the Lebanese authorities. The
