[00:00:06] news from around the world, it's
[00:00:14] strikes between Ukraine and Russia, drones launched on Russian
[00:00:18] In fact, she wanted to take us to the north of refineries facing attacks on several Ukrainian cities. He hopes
[00:00:21] to convince his Western allies to deliver anti-missile
[00:00:24] defenses, we'll take stock in a moment with Melina
[00:00:27] Huet. Israel, for its part, continues
[00:00:30] to strike Lebanon on the 3rd day of ongoing negotiations in Rome
[00:00:33] with the Lebanese authorities, clashes with Hezbollah have caused two
[00:00:37] Israeli casualties, soldiers killed by an explosive
[00:00:40] device, and then UEFA maintains its boycott of
[00:00:43] football competitions, including the World Cups, despite yesterday's apologies from Jenny
[00:00:47] Infantino, the European body which is asking FIFA for guarantees on
[00:00:51] the abandonment of its president's project to bring
[00:00:54] yesterday, he received the support of in private investors into the commercial negotiations of the World
[00:00:57] Cups.
[00:01:09] Ukraine and Russia have been striking back and forth in recent hours as Kyiv once again
[00:01:13] targeted Russian territory in depth, refineries up to
[00:01:17] 1300 km beyond the front
[00:01:19] proclamation of the abolition of line, Russian strikes have killed seven people on the Ukrainian side in the regions
[00:01:22] of Kharkiv, Sumy and the Black Sea, a new illustration of the
[00:01:26] lack of interceptor missiles. Please note,
[00:01:29] the report you are about to see, signed by Alice Brogas, some of the images
[00:01:33] may be particularly disturbing.
[00:01:37] After more than 20 hours of searching, Ukrainian
[00:01:40] rescuers pulled a lifeless body from the rubble. A
[00:01:43] civilian killed in a Russian strike that occurred the day before on this building in
[00:01:47] Kramatorsk. Faced with the increase in Russian attacks, the
[00:01:51] authorities of this city in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine
[00:01:54] ordered on Wednesday evening the evacuation of about 500
[00:01:58] children and their families who lived there. Still in the city, in the
[00:02:01] Kyiv region too, the attacks are becoming more and more numerous and
[00:02:05] deadly, along this railway line, railway workers
[00:02:09] are evacuating one by one the bodies of eight victims killed after a
[00:02:12] strike on a busy station 30 km from the capital,
[00:02:16] a local resident recounts a night
[00:02:20] geography or the island's of horror.
[00:02:22] preserving it and so I'm lucky to be really close to The noise was deafening, and as the air raid alert was still
[00:02:26] ongoing, I didn't dare look around me.
[00:02:39] And then I saw people covered in blood running in the
[00:02:41] street. According to the Ukrainian army, Russia
[00:02:45] fired 115 long-range drones and 28 missiles on Tuesday
[00:02:48] night, but only 98 drones could
[00:02:52] be neutralized. Ukrainian anti-aircraft defenses failed to
[00:02:58] nice anecdote, in fact, on the day intercept any missiles, a weakening attributed by...
[00:03:00] mainly linked to the war,
[00:03:13] to defend our state, this situation is
[00:03:17] or as it is now fair to say, to the hostilities and wars in the
[00:03:21] Middle East.
[00:03:24] Last week, Voladimir Zelensky again went to
[00:03:28] Washington to convince Donald Trump
[00:03:30] to deliver Patriot missiles, the only ones capable of intercepting the most
[00:03:34] powerful Russian missiles, but according to the
[00:03:36] Financial Times, Trump refused this request due to
[00:03:40] the shortage of Patriots in the US's own stocks since the
[00:03:43] beginning of the war in the Middle East.
[00:03:47] And by my side, Mélina Huet. Mélina, you have reported several times in
[00:03:50] Ukraine and despite the apparent warming we have
[00:03:54] recently seen between Voladimir Zelensky and Donald Trump. It is clear
[00:03:58] that anti-missile defense systems are more necessary
[00:04:02] than ever on the Ukrainian side, but wait, yes, that's right, so more than
[00:04:05] necessary, we first need to remember why, simply because the missiles that
[00:04:09] are not intercepted at the moment in Ukraine, and for several months or even a few
[00:04:13] years now, are missiles that travel several times the speed of
[00:04:17] sound, so obviously without an anti-aircraft
[00:04:20] right next to defense system like Patriots, the country will continue to
[00:04:22] be a victim, deep into the country, very far, even to the west
[00:04:26] of Ukraine. So indeed, the tone has changed
[00:04:30] a bit between Ukraine and the United States, but the commitment remains
[00:04:34] very fluctuating in the end, why? On July 8, nearly a month after
[00:04:37] the NATO summit in Ankara, Donald Trump had announced to Volodimir Zelensky that, well,
[00:04:41] yes, he could have a license to manufacture Patriots, except that immediately afterwards,
[00:04:45] what did he specify? Well, that the industrialists had not been notified.
[00:04:48] 3 weeks later in Camp David, Donald Trump
[00:04:52] finally declared that Washington had granted nothing, why? he said, well,
[00:04:55] because it's a technology that is difficult to give away because a
[00:04:59] country that receives it may one day turn against you, so that shows a little bit the level of
[00:05:03] distrust still between the two countries today, what is true and
[00:05:07] what has changed, is rather the relationship between Donald Trump and Vladimir
[00:05:10] Putin since it is a lag, in fact, of the US President
[00:05:14] facing a Kremlin that does not really want to move, that does not really
[00:05:18] want to sign an agreement, that does not really want to go towards peace. So this
[00:05:20] war, for lack of missiles, at least Ukraine is massively using
[00:05:24] drones, you yourself have seen how much they have
[00:05:27] changed the physiognomy of combat in just a few months,
[00:05:31] combat and the physiognomy of cities too, it's true that we talk a lot about drones, we talk a lot about
[00:05:35] these nets as a dystopia of cities under glass and it sounds very
[00:05:38] abstract said like that but you will see these images, these are images.
[00:05:42] notably filmed in eastern Ukraine where you can
[00:05:45] see the physiognomy of cities changing completely. In fact, the nets
[00:05:49] draw a parallel map, we could say, where they are extended, it means
[00:05:52] that drones are arriving or are already present. When I was in Dnipro in
[00:05:56] February, I went back in June last year, in fact the workers who were installing these
[00:06:00] drones were getting closer and closer to the city of Dnipro, even though
[00:06:04] it is very far from the front lines. In fact, at
[00:06:07] the beginning, they only extended them above checkpoints where there were
[00:06:11] soldiers and then, little by little, they extended them week
[00:06:15] by week. If we go back two years, these nets
[00:06:18] already existed, but in fact we didn't talk about them here in France because they
[00:06:22] covered a few hundred meters of logistical axis near the zero line,
[00:06:25] today they run for entire roads in Izium as well as on the access roads to Kherson. In fact, the
[00:06:29] notion of the rear, we often talk about the rear, it fades away. You
[00:06:33] see an excerpt from a report I made in February for France
[00:06:36] 24 and it turns out that, well, we are on a position with Caesars
[00:06:40] that on a part of the road we had nets to protect, but to go from
[00:06:43] the HQ, the general command to this position, there you see
[00:06:47] nets, well, in fact we are on completely open spaces,
[00:06:50] open fields with nothing, so what do we do? Well, we drive at 140
[00:06:54] km/h with headlights off, so that's
[00:06:58] what essentially changes and then to give a
[00:07:01] very concrete little anecdote also of what that changes on the ground, last
[00:07:05] June I was in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast and I was with
[00:07:08] soldiers so I can't name them but who were far from the front line about forty
[00:07:12] km away and yet suffered a drone attack
[00:07:15] which fortunately failed, but here we were so far that hearing a
[00:07:19] killer drone fall
[00:07:22] on a makeshift base where we were, it was still quite astonishing for me who
[00:07:25] is used to attacks being very close to the front line, so we
[00:07:29] see these kill zones, what we call the death zones, they are extending,
[00:07:33] they are extending and in fact what we see gradually emerging is an entire country
[00:07:37] under glass if nothing is done, of course, and so we come back to these anti-defense
[00:07:40] missiles.
[00:07:42] And then this possibility of having other drones that kill other
[00:07:46] drones because we also know that a Patriot missile costs a lot, while a drone
[00:07:50] doesn't cost much, we're talking about millions of dollars versus a few tens
[00:07:53] of thousands of dollars for a drone. Thank you, Mélinauet, that's
[00:07:57] the situation currently in Ukraine. Russia,
[00:08:00] for its part, denounces a persecution after the expulsion
[00:08:03] order targeting the Russian journalist based in France, Guenia
[00:08:06] Fedorova, a regular columnist for the C News information channel
[00:08:10] and Europen radio, who heads the French version of Rochat
[00:08:13] today and is currently abroad. Her lawyer states
[00:08:16] that she will only return to France when the expulsion order against her is
[00:08:20] suspended or annulled. Listen to the reaction of the Russian diplomacy's deputy spokesperson.
[00:08:24] russe.
[00:08:26] The expulsion of Xenia Fedorova is a clear demonstration of France's
[00:08:30] ideological and moral weakness, its cowardice and
[00:08:34] its inability to defend its point of view through healthy debate and
[00:08:38] to engage in equitable dialogue. We consider the
[00:08:41] political persecution of journalists on the basis of fallacious accusations
[00:08:45] to be unacceptable and we firmly condemn it. Such actions are
[00:08:48] incompatible with France's rhetoric on its commitment to the principle of
[00:08:52] freedom of expression. This is a new violation of its international
[00:08:56] obligations in this regard.
[00:08:58] End of negotiations in Rome between Israelis and Lebanese, they
[00:09:02] aim to allow a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli army from southern
[00:09:06] Lebanon in exchange for the disarmament of Hezbollah, but the Shiite
[00:09:09] movement refuses to lay down its arms and the Hebrews
[00:09:13] continue to strike Lebanese territory. Two Israeli soldiers have
[00:09:16] died, Romain Michelot.
[00:09:20] The sky over Lebanon, once again crossed by Israeli
[00:09:23] flares. Here in the south of the country, the army has resumed its
[00:09:27] bombardments and clashes with Hezbollah.
[00:09:29] In response to a blatant
[00:09:33] violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah, the Israeli army has
[00:09:36] started to conduct targeted strikes in southern Lebanon. At
[00:09:40] least one person has died on the Lebanese
[00:09:42] side. Two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion, a first in over
[00:09:46] a month, sporadic but recurring clashes despite a
[00:09:50] security agreement that came into effect at the end of June. Israel occupies a
[00:09:54] so-called security zone in southern Lebanon about ten
[00:09:57] kilometers near the border, but residents of the
[00:10:01] towns and villages north of this zone can officially return home.
[00:10:04] In practice, this resumption of clashes and evacuation
[00:10:08] orders complicates this process according to
[00:10:11] the UN. A new order comes as displaced families have
[00:10:14] returned home in southern Lebanon in recent
[00:10:17] weeks, the situation remains fragile and residents
[00:10:21] remain uncertain. Demolition operations,
[00:10:25] bombings and other military activities damage homes, agricultural
[00:10:28] land and civilian infrastructure. These clashes
[00:10:32] are taking place during a period of negotiations in Rome under the aegis
[00:10:35] of the United States. They concern the deployment of the Lebanese army in
[00:10:39] pilot zones evacuated by Israel, but they imply a
[00:10:42] disarmament of Hezbollah, which is refused for the moment by the Shiite group.
[00:10:46] Since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, at least
[00:10:49] 4300 people in Lebanon and 38 Israeli soldiers have
[00:10:53] died according to the authorities.
[00:10:56] Jenny Infantino's apologies are clearly insufficient for
[00:11:00] UEFA, the European Football Confederation intends to maintain
[00:11:03] its boycott of international competitions,
[00:11:07] including the World Cups after the project, since withdrawn,
[00:11:10] to open the latter to international investors by the
[00:11:14] FIFA boss. Jenny Infantino apologized
[00:11:19] the organization during an emergency meeting in
[00:11:21] Rabat.
[00:11:25] The Senate committee in the United States, with a Republican majority,
[00:11:29] declared Anthony Fauci guilty of obstructing
[00:11:32] Congress's investigative prerogatives. He was the one
[00:11:36] who orchestrated the White House's response to the
[00:11:39] COVID-19 pandemic. During his hearing, he
[00:11:43] invoked almost a hundred times the 5th Amendment of the
[00:11:46] American constitution which allows one to remain silent so as not
[00:11:50] to have to incriminate oneself. This committee vote constitutes
[00:11:53] an additional step in the Senate's attempt to prosecute
[00:11:57] the 85-year-old immunologist.
[00:12:01] The President of the WHO, the World Health Organization,
[00:12:04] is back in the Democratic Republic of Congo to support efforts in the fight against
[00:12:07] the Ebola epidemic. The 17th ongoing wave currently has more
[00:12:11] than 3800 identified cases, almost half of whom have died.
[00:12:15] It is the deadliest that the DRC has known. On the front line,
[00:12:19] medical personnel nevertheless complain about delays in salary
[00:12:22] payments. Noémy Roche.
[00:12:25] Every day, the same ritual, Wisa Bandelé
[00:12:28] puts on his suit and disinfection equipment, before
[00:12:32] tackling a house whose occupants have died of the Ebola
[00:12:35] virus. Essential gestures to
[00:12:39] hope to curb the spread of the virus which continues to
[00:12:43] strike the country. Yet, since the beginning of his
[00:12:46] mission in mid-May, Wiza has still not received any
[00:12:50] salary. In July, he joined
[00:12:53] other health agents to do.
[00:12:57] We went on strike because we noticed that we were working in dangerous
[00:13:00] conditions and that we were giving a lot of ourselves, we operate
[00:13:04] in risky situations, a patient
[00:13:07] may vomit blood, we must then
[00:13:10] clean.
[00:13:14] In July, the Congolese Minister of Health acknowledged payment delays
[00:13:17] attributed to organizational problems, assuring that they
[00:13:21] would be resolved. Since then, some of his colleagues have indeed
[00:13:24] been, but only partially according to Waiza, who
[00:13:28] claims to have still received nothing and continues
[00:13:31] nevertheless to work 7 days a week, despite the risks to which he is
[00:13:35] exposed. I could contract this
[00:13:38] virus and subsequently contaminate my family and my
[00:13:41] neighbors. So I realize that because of me, many
[00:13:45] people could
[00:13:46] die.
[00:13:49] Despite the fear, Wiza refuses to leave his post for
[00:13:53] now, guided by a sense of duty, a mission
[00:13:56] all the more crucial as this epidemic has now surpassed that of 2018
[00:14:00] in terms of cases, according to the Congolese authorities, more than
[00:14:04] 8370 cases have been confirmed, including
[00:14:08] 1751 deaths
[00:14:23] I want to stay here.
[00:14:25] "I wish to stay here and I cannot in fact, it is
[00:14:28] imposed on me to leave, to go to a
[00:14:32] country where I have never lived.
[00:14:34] vive.
[00:14:37] Welcome to Martinique, one of the four French territories of the
[00:14:40] Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. The beaches,
[00:14:43] turquoise water, breathtaking landscapes, many would say it's
[00:14:47] paradise, but for those born here, the
[00:14:50] reality is different,
[00:14:53] because this paradise, thousands of Martinicans leave it every
[00:14:57] year without knowing when they will see it again, so we
[00:15:00] went to Martinique to see why this island is
[00:15:03] emptying and why those who leave have so much trouble
[00:15:06] coming back.
[00:15:13] I love
[00:15:14] it too much,
[00:15:17] so that's it, and really goodbye,
[00:15:21] goodbye, we do a lot of things together, she's Emmanuelle, she's 18.
[00:15:33] She was born and grew up in Martinique, more than 7000
[00:15:36] km from France.
[00:15:38] Or mainland France, as it is called here, we feel that she is not yet
[00:15:42] ready to leave for mainland France, so
[00:15:45] why? Well, in fact, I feel, I have almost
[00:15:48] all my family here, the family I am closest to is in
[00:15:52] Martinique, for example, if I want to go see my grandmother, I go to
[00:15:55] see her, we talk, we laugh, good
[00:15:58] local dishes, but as I explain to her, at the same time, many
[00:16:02] young people have no choice, who also have these same values, this
[00:16:06] love. For family, for, well, but they
[00:16:09] are unfortunately forced to leave. I can do
[00:16:13] the license here,
[00:16:16] the master, it depends on the specialization I choose for the master, but if
[00:16:20] I choose one that happens if I can, but
[00:16:23] at some point I will have to go to law school and there isn't one in
[00:16:27] Martinique, I don't think there's one in Guadeloupe and I have to go to
[00:16:31] mainland France, I find it unfair not
[00:16:35] to be able to do everything here. Did you put the salt, doudou? Yes
[00:16:38] mommy, I did! Injustice, that's a word that comes
[00:16:41] up often in the mouths of the Martinicans we met, especially when
[00:16:45] it comes to the cost of living. We have the
[00:16:48] Chamfort water that comes from here, sometimes a pack of six
[00:16:52] bottles, we find it at €4.80. And
[00:16:55] yet it's water that's made in Martinique, so we go out on the
[00:16:59] Cristalline that comes from there where we can find a pack of six
[00:17:03] bottles for €3. And a detail that is
[00:17:06] important, very...
[00:17:09] Normally, if it's made in Martinique, there's no
[00:17:12] import duty, it's in
[00:17:15] Martinique. Why is our water more
[00:17:19] expensive? If we want to eat local, if we want to buy local
[00:17:22] fruits and vegetables, they will be more expensive than if they come
[00:17:26] from Spain, if they come from Mexico. In fact, we don't understand
[00:17:29] why everything costs more in Martinique
[00:17:33] than in mainland France, and it is most evident with food products.
[00:17:37] Prices are on average 40% higher, because
[00:17:41] most products are imported, not from neighboring
[00:17:44] islands or countries, no, most come from France or
[00:17:47] Europe, and on an island, everything that arrives depends on
[00:17:50] boats, delays and costs, but the high
[00:17:54] cost of living is not only explained by
[00:17:57] remoteness, it is also explained by history and by the very
[00:18:01] structure of the Martinican economy. All
[00:18:04] large companies in Martinique are often run by a
[00:18:07] Béké. The Békés are descendants of
[00:18:11] colonial slave owners who arrived in the Antilles in the 10th century.
[00:20:39] That's where it hit hard, we said no, it's
[00:20:43] unacceptable, we can't accept that, we are on the same level as
[00:20:46] everyone else, okay, Martinicans, we exist.
[00:20:51] I'm so glad when I see people go up there and have fun and then
[00:20:55] he's not there, oh I admit it's frustrating because every time they do
[00:20:59] concerts in Paris, no, no, for those in the
[00:21:02] south it's hard, but for those in the islands you have to buy a plane ticket to go see
[00:21:06] the artist. The feeling of being treated
[00:21:09] differently in several aspects of daily life fuels the feeling
[00:21:13] of abandonment and injustice felt by Martinicans towards the French
[00:21:16] state. I believe we are all French? Normally
[00:21:20] we are all integrated, so we should all have the same chances of succeeding and
[00:21:24] being able to do the job we want. It's true that on an island,
[00:21:27] it's small, there are fewer job offers than in mainland France because there are
[00:21:31] fewer companies, that's for sure,
[00:21:33] but it's still sad that we are always a
[00:21:37] little bit set apart. Here in
[00:21:39] Martinique, one in four young people is neither employed, nor in education,
[00:21:43] nor in training, for lack of opportunities, and this figure is
[00:21:47] twice as high as in mainland France. The brain
[00:21:50] drain is therefore inevitable and you just have to look at Emmanuel and his
[00:21:53] friends, there are four of them and all of them think
[00:21:55] about leaving. I don't know yet what I'm really going to do
[00:21:59] after my bachelor's degree, I don't know if I'll stop or if I'll leave, but I think
[00:22:03] I'll leave, but I'm sure of one thing, that I'll
[00:22:07] come back, why? because it's our home, it's Martinique,
[00:22:11] it's our island, our friends are here, our families are here, our roots are
[00:22:14] here, it's history, it's we are linked to this
[00:22:17] territory.
[00:22:20] These moments will really miss me because it's
[00:22:23] really the essence of our home,
[00:22:26] a little sunset, a little bath, we talk, we discuss, we
[00:22:30] laugh, about everything and nothing, and these moments, these quality
[00:22:33] moments, I won't have them
[00:22:36] there.
[00:22:42] 45% of overseas high school graduates go to mainland France for their
[00:22:45] studies and others join them after obtaining their bachelor's degree
[00:22:49] here. This is the path Maelie
[00:22:53] took. It's a living environment after
[00:22:55] all, that we don't
[00:22:59] find,
[00:23:01] passionate about history and heritage, she found herself in Angers then
[00:23:04] Montpellier to do her master's degree. I live here
[00:23:09] the beach and the sea, it's something not to be overlooked,
[00:23:12] and that compared to Angers,
[00:23:15] oh
[00:23:18] là, well yes, I miss it. It was hard,
[00:23:21] first I had to adapt to a new
[00:23:24] environment, to the cold, it wasn't
[00:23:28] easy, I really left alone, I didn't know anyone
[00:23:32] there, and then I had to adapt to a new rhythm, a university rhythm that is
[00:23:35] not at all the same as in Martinique, it was quite hard,
[00:23:38] I felt
[00:23:41] like I was being left out and not fitting in,
[00:23:44] but in any case, I have a
[00:23:48] of the pre-admission, I was in the theater and then I
[00:23:51] saw a girl arrive, as soon as I saw her, I knew she was
[00:23:55] Antillean, so I told myself ah, someone like me who knows the
[00:23:59] same realities as me and immediately we became
[00:24:02] friends, we never left each other, we did all our studies together, but that was
[00:24:06] essential for me during my years in France, but the difficulties
[00:24:10] don't stop at the climate or loneliness.
[00:24:12] Financially, being an overseas student is a struggle, if only
[00:24:16] to go home, even if the French state offers a free round
[00:24:20] trip per year, it's often too little for students who are attached to
[00:24:24] their families like Maelie. Hello, how
[00:24:27] are you, if we want to come back for Christmas
[00:24:31] or something, then it's the parents who have to pay, I
[00:24:35] was lucky to come back only once,
[00:24:38] so the other Christmases were very sad,
[00:24:42] so it's a luxury, yes, absolutely, finally plane
[00:24:45] tickets are about 100 euros per
[00:24:48] ticket. As a student, we're not going to allow ourselves to spend
[00:24:52] 100 euros on a ticket knowing that we have to eat, we have to pay
[00:24:56] rent,
[00:24:58] hello, after 4 years in mainland France, Maelie is lucky enough to
[00:25:02] return home and find work in Anse d'Arlet where she has always
[00:25:06] grown up. Well, I'm lucky to work at the town hall, which is
[00:25:10] the church, so I have this view every day
[00:25:13] and what more could I ask for?
[00:25:17] But her return here turns out to be more difficult than expected. It's
[00:25:21] true that we idealize returning to our home country a lot, when we come back, we might have
[00:25:25] a little disillusionment, a little frustration,
[00:25:28] in reality, it's us who have changed since we
[00:25:32] are the ones who left. When I was there, I used to say, oh, I can't wait to come back to
[00:25:35] Martinique, but it's true that sometimes here I say, I wish I was
[00:25:38] there, I even visualize my day if I was
[00:25:42] there. When I do my shopping, I've got into the bad habit of
[00:25:46] comparing prices every time between there and here. In my
[00:25:57] mind, she doesn't think long and chooses to return.
[00:26:00] By 2050,
[00:26:02] it could become the oldest department in France because the proportion of under 25s
[00:26:06] on the island is only
[00:26:07] decreasing.
[00:26:11] So for Maelie, coming back to her homeland is an opportunity to defend the
[00:26:15] culture and memory of her ancestors.
[00:26:20] the island, to Saint-Pierre.
[00:26:23] On the morning of May 8, 1902, Mount Pelée
[00:26:26] erupted, causing the death of nearly
[00:26:30] 28 to 3000 inhabitants. and
[00:26:33] it destroyed, we could say, a prosperous urban center
[00:26:37] since it was really the little Paris of the Antilles,
[00:26:41] it was, we could say the place, the
[00:26:44] place to be, oh
[00:26:47] yeah, there were three levels in this
[00:26:51] theater,
[00:26:53] the particularity is that slaves could still attend
[00:26:57] the performances, so yes, but they weren't next to
[00:27:00] their masters, then. Technically they were in
[00:27:04] the "paradise" section so, the paradise or the
[00:27:07] "chicken coop", so the place where you could least see the
[00:27:11] performance ultimately.
[00:27:15] For me, Saint-Pierre has an important history, and it's also where
[00:27:19] the
[00:27:22] slavery took place on May 22nd. With a history
[00:27:25] as vibrant as that of Martinique, transmission is
[00:27:29] essential, even if ultimately the new generation
[00:27:32] prefers to transform the wounds of the past into strength to make their
[00:27:36] island grow. We are a people who were born in pain, in
[00:27:40] suffering, but we are still here, we are resilient, we fight every day
[00:27:44] and that's it, for me it's a source of pride, it's beautiful in fact
[00:27:48] to think that our ancestors fought for us. There is so
[00:27:52] much to do and develop here in Martinique concerning
[00:27:56] our history and for me it's important. And even if the
[00:27:59] studies are not here, you have to do your studies there and... come back to bring the
[00:28:03] culture here, that's what's important. Yes, it's possible
[00:28:06] to come back, I know it's not easy,
[00:28:10] you have to find opportunities, you have to seize
[00:28:13] opportunities, but yes yes, I encourage
[00:28:17] coming back and bringing, in any case, our
[00:28:21] history and showcasing it,
[00:28:24] transmitting it
[00:28:25] too.
[00:28:30] Growing up here is therefore growing up between two things: between the attachment
[00:28:34] one has for their island and the necessity sometimes to
[00:28:37] leave it.
[00:28:39] Emmanuel is only 18 years old, her future is not yet written, but like a whole
[00:28:43] generation, she will have to make a choice: leave
[00:28:47] or stay and live with what that choice entails.

[00:30:08] Hello, welcome if you are joining us, coming up
[00:30:11] in a moment, this new exchange of strikes between Ukraine and Russia,
[00:30:14] drones dropped on Russian refineries facing attacks on several Ukrainian
[00:30:18] cities, which hopes to convince its Western allies to deliver
[00:30:22] anti-missile defenses. We will take stock in a moment with
[00:30:25] Mine Nawet. Israel, for its part, continues to strike Lebanon on
[00:30:29] the 3rd day of ongoing negotiations in Rome with the... Lebanese
[00:30:32] authorities, clashes with Hezbollah have claimed two Israeli

[00:30:50] project to bring private investors into the commercial negotiations
[00:30:54] of the football World
