[00:00:04] It's still around the world on France 24, the round of
[00:00:07] international news with first this new exchange of strikes between
[00:00:11] Ukraine and Russia, drones launched on Russian refineries
[00:00:14] against attacks on several Ukrainian cities, Kyiv hopes to convince
[00:00:18] its Western allies to deliver anti-missile defenses.
[00:00:22] Israel, for its part, continues to strike Lebanon on the 3rd day of
[00:00:26] October 2007, the Ark of negotiations currently underway in Rome with the Lebanese authorities,
[00:00:29] clashes with Hezbollah have left two Israeli casualties, soldiers
[00:00:32] killed by an explosive
[00:00:34] the resumption of fighting with device. UEFA maintains its boycott of
[00:00:37] football competitions, including the World Cups, despite yesterday's apologies
[00:00:40] from Janny Infantino, the European body that demands
[00:00:44] guarantees from FIFA on the abandonment of its president's project
[00:00:47] to bring private investors into world football.
[00:00:50] foot.
[00:01:02] Ukraine and Russia have been exchanging blows in recent hours,
[00:01:06] TV rights and marketing rights for as Kyiv has again targeted Russian territory
[00:01:10] in depth, refineries up to
[00:01:12] is quite simply the control of 1300 km beyond the front line. Russian strikes have
[00:01:15] killed seven Ukrainians in the regions of Kharkiv, Sumy and
[00:01:19] the Black Sea. New illustration of the lack of interceptor
[00:01:22] missiles. Nicolas Chamantin.
[00:01:26] Guided bombs fell around 2 a.m. in Sumy.
[00:01:30] In this city in northeastern Ukraine, a Russian attack damaged residential
[00:01:34] areas and shops and surprised residents.
[00:01:37] It was as if aliens had arrived. The explosion was so
[00:01:41] powerful that everything was ejected from the apartment, barely had time to
[00:01:45] get out. Several people were injured in Sumy and
[00:01:48] several others killed in localities in the region. Authorities
[00:01:52] also report casualties in the Kharkiv region, a little further
[00:01:56] east. Russian strikes are in addition to those on Wednesday on... the
[00:02:00] Kyiv region as well as on Kramatorsk, 500
[00:02:03] children and their families who still lived in this eastern city, had to be
[00:02:08] some 2 years ago now, of evacuated due to the violence of the attacks. While the Ukrainian army manages to intercept most
[00:02:12] of the drones, it has great difficulty stopping the
[00:02:15] missiles, a weakening attributed by President
[00:02:18] Zelensky to delays in the delivery of interceptors compared to
[00:02:22] 2025.
[00:02:26] Ukraine has started to receive about three times fewer anti-ballistic missiles
[00:02:30] to defend our state, this situation is mainly linked to the
[00:02:33] war, or as it is now fair to say,
[00:02:37] to hostilities and wars in
[00:02:39] the Middle East,
[00:02:43] last week, Volodymyr Zelensky had again gone to
[00:02:47] Washington to convince
[00:02:50] businessmen who want to come and make Donald Trump to deliver Patriot systems, the only ones
[00:02:52] capable of intercepting the most powerful Russian missiles, a
[00:02:55] request refused by the American president because of the shortage
[00:02:59] of... triad in its stocks since the beginning of the war in
[00:03:02] the Middle East. At the same time, Kyiv continues its attacks in
[00:03:06] Russian territory. On Thursday, a fire broke out in this
[00:03:09] important refinery in the Yaroslavl region, about
[00:03:13] 250 km northeast of Moscow. According to the
[00:03:16] local governor, all drones launched by Kyiv were
[00:03:19] intercepted, but fragments hit storage tanks
[00:03:23] and injured several
[00:03:26] on the south coast of people.
[00:03:27] also Africa and then part of Ukraine would like to be able to count on American
[00:03:30] missile interceptors, yes, but it seems that on the American
[00:03:34] side, we are facing shortages, at
[00:03:37] least that's what a number of sources in the
[00:03:41] press report, notably the Washington Post and CNN
[00:03:44] channel, Renault Gerard, hello, you are a senior reporter, international
[00:03:48] columnist at Le Figaro, thank you for being with us, Donald
[00:03:51] Trump long denied it and yet several sources cited by
[00:03:55] CNN claim that the stock of
[00:03:58] available missiles today
[00:04:01] the Brazilian president of in the United States represents barely a fifth of what it was before
[00:04:04] the beginning of this war in Iran, do you believe it?
[00:04:08] Listen, he has a
[00:04:10] very serious think tank called
[00:04:14] disrupt the entire the CSIS which calculated that before the
[00:04:17] war in Iran, the war called epic
[00:04:20] Fury, there were 2300
[00:04:24] American Patriots in stock, so
[00:04:28] highly effective interceptors.
[00:04:30] and that there would only be 800 and that
[00:04:33] therefore this is perhaps the reason why Donald
[00:04:39] UEFA's perseverance is Trump hesitates to deliver them to Ukraine today
[00:04:41] because he does not know if hostilities will not
[00:04:44] resume fully
[00:04:48] with Iran, we know that there are more or less secret negotiations
[00:04:52] camp without gas between the Americans and the Iranians at the moment, everything focuses
[00:04:55] on the Strait of Hormuz, how to
[00:04:58] authorize... the Iranians
[00:05:02] to police without authorizing them
[00:05:04] to levy tolls, that's the whole question of the
[00:05:07] current negotiation, but as
[00:05:11] it won't necessarily succeed,
[00:05:14] as the power in Iran is very divided, well Donald
[00:05:18] Trump wants to keep his missiles in case there
[00:05:22] is a generalized confrontation
[00:05:26] in the Persian Gulf, he needs his
[00:05:29] Patriots to protect obviously the American bases that
[00:05:32] are in the Persian Gulf up to
[00:05:35] Jordan, yes precisely besides, this makes the
[00:05:39] United States more wary of potential deliveries to Ukraine but
[00:05:43] also more wary of
[00:05:46] Iran. Is that what explains, according to you, the hesitations we are witnessing on the part of
[00:05:50] Donald Trump? Yes, Donald Trump
[00:05:54] acts on instinct, so he probes,
[00:05:58] he feels things out, he says to himself, well,
[00:06:02] maybe we'll have
[00:06:04] an agreement after all with the Iranians,
[00:06:08] I've threatened them several times, but at the last minute
[00:06:11] I withdraw. but my threats maybe make the Iranians think,
[00:06:15] at least some of the Iranians, those who are
[00:06:18] pragmatic, those who are ready to have an
[00:06:21] agreement and to respect an agreement with the Americans and
[00:06:25] regarding Ukraine,
[00:06:28] he thinks that
[00:06:32] this war is not his fault, not his responsibility,
[00:06:36] that he has nothing to do with it, he has said
[00:06:40] it several times and so it is not his
[00:06:43] priority today, he would obviously like to succeed in making
[00:06:47] a peace agreement, that is to say that the Russians accept the ceasefire he had
[00:06:50] proposed several months ago, which the Ukrainians had accepted but not the Russians, but it is not
[00:06:54] his military priority today, his
[00:06:57] military priority today is to
[00:07:01] keep the Strait of Hormuz
[00:07:04] open and intact because he promised all his
[00:07:08] Sunni allies in the Persian Gulf, all the petro
[00:07:11] monarchies. And he promised it in fact to the whole
[00:07:14] world, we must see that it is a very old principle of
[00:07:18] thalassocracies like England and today the
[00:07:21] United States to have the freedom of the seas, the freedom of
[00:07:25] the straits, it is a philosopher
[00:07:27] uh Dutch Grotius who was part of the first
[00:07:31] thalassocracy, Holland
[00:07:34] who studied, who
[00:07:36] found this idea of the freedom
[00:07:40] of the straits and that was completely then
[00:07:44] enshrined by England then by the United States
[00:07:47] of America who are obviously the first thalassocracy in the world
[00:07:51] today and it is in the law of the
[00:07:54] sea, it is enshrined in the internal law of the sea
[00:07:58] and it is something that the Americans want
[00:08:01] to preserve, the freedom of the straits
[00:08:05] and it is the stake of
[00:08:08] their confrontation, more political today than military with
[00:08:11] Iran. Today, the American
[00:08:14] missile shortages are being revealed, which seemed unthinkable
[00:08:18] just a few months ago, this makes the United States vulnerable
[00:08:21] because more predictable in the eyes of their adversaries,
[00:08:25] so more
[00:08:29] so it is obvious that
[00:08:32] the Americans have lost a large
[00:08:35] part of their deterrence power with
[00:08:38] this failed war against Iran, since they ultimately
[00:08:42] waged... waged a war, several wars even, there was the 12-day war in
[00:08:46] June 2025 against Iran, without visibly
[00:08:50] making the Iranian regime falter, he
[00:08:53] thought that the Iranian regime of the mullahs
[00:08:57] would fall like a ripe fruit, that's what
[00:09:00] the Israelis had told them, well, that was not the
[00:09:04] case, it is even perhaps, we can say today,
[00:09:07] strengthened and there are the Iranians who realized
[00:09:11] that they... possessed a new, I put in quotes,
[00:09:15] atomic weapon or weapon, I would say strategic, it is the
[00:09:18] control, it is the control of the Strait of Hormuz which,
[00:09:22] if it is closed, can indeed
[00:09:26] global economy, that is the instrument of
[00:09:29] blackmail of the Iranians and Trump
[00:09:33] obviously cannot accept
[00:09:36] it, he will never accept an
[00:09:40] Iranian nuclear program either, but that is not for tomorrow because the
[00:09:43] Iranian facilities have still been
[00:09:46] considerably damaged by the
[00:09:50] different bombing campaigns of the Americans and Israelis
[00:09:52] in 2025, in 2026 and even before
[00:09:56] in 2025. Thank you, Renaud Gérard, for being with
[00:10:00] us live on France
[00:10:02] 24. Continuation and end of negotiations in Rome
[00:10:06] between Israelis and Lebanese, they aim to allow a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli
[00:10:10] army from southern Lebanon and... exchange for a disarmament of Hezbollah, but
[00:10:14] the Shiite movement refuses to lay down its arms and the Hebrew state continues
[00:10:18] to strike Lebanese territory. Two Israeli soldiers
[00:10:21] are dead, Romain Michelot.
[00:10:25] The sky of Lebanon, again crossed by Israeli
[00:10:29] flares, here in the south of the country, the army has resumed its
[00:10:32] bombing and clashes with Hezbollah.
[00:10:34] In response to a blatant
[00:10:38] violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah, the Israeli army began
[00:10:42] to carry out targeted strikes in southern Lebanon. At
[00:10:45] least one person has died on the Lebanese side. Two Israeli soldiers
[00:10:49] were killed in an explosion, a first in over a month.
[00:10:53] Sporadic, but recurring clashes. Despite a security agreement that came into
[00:10:56] force at the end of June. Israel occupies a so-called
[00:11:00] security zone in southern Lebanon about ten kilometers from the
[00:11:04] border, but residents of the towns and villages north of this
[00:11:07] zone can officially return home. In fact, this
[00:11:11] resumption of clashes and evacuation orders complicates this
[00:11:15] process according to the UN. This new order
[00:11:18] comes as displaced families have returned home in southern
[00:11:21] Lebanon in recent weeks. The situation
[00:11:25] remains fragile and residents remain uncertain,
[00:11:28] demolition operations, bombings and other military activities
[00:11:32] damage homes, agricultural land and civilian
[00:11:35] infrastructure. These clashes are taking place during
[00:11:38] negotiations held in Rome under the auspices of the United States. They
[00:11:42] concern the deployment of the Lebanese army in pilot zones
[00:11:45] evacuated by Israel, but they imply a disarmament of Hezbollah,
[00:11:49] refused for the moment by the Shiite group. Since the beginning of the
[00:11:52] war between Israel and Hezbollah, at least... 4,300 people in
[00:11:56] Lebanon and 38 Israeli soldiers have died according to
[00:11:59] authorities.
[00:12:02] The negotiations which, moreover, are well underway
[00:12:05] between Iran and the Sultanate of Oman for the
[00:12:09] reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, we will talk about it with you, Lormannin
[00:12:12] hello, and elsewhere also attacks the United States by
[00:12:16] stating that Donald Trump is an absolute obstacle, in any
[00:12:19] case Iran and Oman have indeed announced that they have agreed
[00:12:23] on a transit route to the Strait of Hormuz, but
[00:12:26] indeed, let's not get carried away because Tehran explains that
[00:12:30] this joint declaration with Muscat will be
[00:12:33] finalized subject to, I quote, that third parties do not hinder
[00:12:37] the process, meaning that Washington does not come and meddle.
[00:12:41] Let's remember that the Strait of Hormuz is between
[00:12:44] Iran and Oman notably and that a fifth of the world's
[00:12:48] gas and oil usually circulates there, that this strait has been blocked since the beginning of the
[00:12:51] bombings against Iran and that this has an impact on the entire
[00:12:55] global economy, today, the Tehran
[00:12:59] regime does not want ships to pass as
[00:13:02] before in the middle of the strait but rather along its coasts,
[00:13:06] the idea is also perhaps to impose service fees, a
[00:13:09] kind of toll for ships that pass and which could bring in enormous
[00:13:12] money to Iran which is under international sanctions,
[00:13:15] and all this could indeed
[00:13:18] be a source of additional
[00:13:21] dispute with Donald Trump after having already
[00:13:25] been the subject of a power struggle with Oman which had proposed an alternative passage closer
[00:13:29] to its coasts a few weeks ago, so it's difficult
[00:13:33] to know today if this agreement will succeed and to what extent, in any case,
[00:13:36] what is certain is that the markets are taking this new news with a lot of caution,
[00:13:40] no enthusiasm, even distrust, since oil
[00:13:44] has risen by about 2%, in parallel, it
[00:13:48] should be noted that
[00:13:51] the Arabian Peninsula is the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb under
[00:13:55] the control of Houthi Yemeni rebels allied with Tehran who
[00:13:58] are attacking Saudi tankers, this possibility, this
[00:14:02] alternative route that had been put in place to export part
[00:14:06] of the Gulf oil is also threatened, hence this
[00:14:09] rise again in North Sea Brent which is trading at a little over
[00:14:13] 81 dollars today and American WTI, the Texas
[00:14:17] benchmark, is at almost 77 dollars and Donald Trump
[00:14:21] looks at oil prices with some concern because if...
[00:14:25] oil is too high, it indirectly influences the cost of living in the United States and therefore
[00:14:29] his popularity, indeed, that's perhaps why Donald Trump has been preaching
[00:14:33] less fire and brimstone in recent days, in any case
[00:14:36] the memorandum of understanding that had been put in place between the
[00:14:40] United States did not survive July, again oil prices were
[00:14:43] affected and that has an effect on the American population which depends
[00:14:47] heavily on cars and therefore fuel for daily commuting
[00:14:51] but also for their entire lives. If we look
[00:14:55] at prices in the United States, oil is usually extremely cheap, it
[00:14:59] has not stopped rising since February and the first
[00:15:01] bombings, the price of a gallon, it is usually around
[00:15:05] 3 dollars, it has risen to 4 dollars on average
[00:15:08] with even a peak in California where it is generally a little higher
[00:15:12] at rather 5.60 per gallon,
[00:15:15] this upward trend is very clearly linked
[00:15:19] to the bombings in February, we see that everything increased at that time,
[00:15:23] the price of gasoline therefore has an effect on travel, it also has an effect on the
[00:15:27] transport of goods, goods of all daily consumer
[00:15:30] goods, particularly on food and obviously
[00:15:34] that weighs on household budgets, especially the most modest.
[00:15:38] To these prices, we must add even more inflation which is increasing,
[00:15:42] inevitably reflecting all these price increases, and of course
[00:15:45] we must add the price of the war itself, the military cost, about 150 billion
[00:15:49] dollars since February, this is an estimate by the World Agency
[00:15:53] and according to its chief economist,
[00:15:55] economist Mark Zandi, it represents a cost of 1100
[00:15:59] additional dollars per American household, so it's considerable,
[00:16:03] households no longer have purchasing power, or at least see it decrease, so
[00:16:07] they save a little more, their savings rate has also continued to increase
[00:16:11] since February, in any case all
[00:16:15] this weighs on the cost of living, on the price of gasoline, but also
[00:16:19] ultimately on the popularity or rather unpopularity of Donald
[00:16:22] Trump which has never been so high and in parallel Donald Trump also
[00:16:26] has to manage internal opposition, 25 states
[00:16:29] are challenging the latest customs duties he put in place several
[00:16:33] days ago to officially fight against forced labor, yes these are...
[00:16:37] new surtaxes, it's the third time he has implemented customs surtaxes in the
[00:16:41] United States, this time they are in the order of 10 to 12.5%.
[00:16:44] This concerns some sixty states and the European Union
[00:16:47] who are accused either of resorting to forced
[00:16:50] labor or of not putting in place sufficient measures to fight
[00:16:54] against this scourge and so the United States has imposed, well
[00:16:58] Donald Trump has imposed these new measures, it was July 24th, except that 25
[00:17:02] American states, 23 Democrats but two Republicans
[00:17:05] are attacking this new measure, they believe that it is not really a question of
[00:17:09] legality and that otherwise Washington would have implemented
[00:17:13] alternatives or offered these states certain
[00:17:16] measures and then it should be known that this is not the first
[00:17:19] setback on customs duties concerning Donald Trump since in February the
[00:17:23] Supreme Court ruled that Donald Trump had exceeded his rights
[00:17:27] by imposing punitive customs tariffs on a great many
[00:17:31] trading partners and even ordered the reimbursement of some
[00:17:34] 129 billion dollars collected in this way.
[00:17:38] 100 billion have already been reimbursed, that represents a significant sum,
[00:17:41] above all it continues to empty the coffers of the American
[00:17:44] state, it does not increase his popularity
[00:17:48] nor the money that Donald Trump had promised the population.
[00:17:51] Thank you, this is what we could say about these discussions concerning a
[00:17:55] possible reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic. Gianni
[00:17:59] Infantino's apologies are clearly insufficient for
[00:18:02] UEFA, the European Football Confederation intends to
[00:18:06] maintain its boycott of international competitions including the World Cups
[00:18:10] after the project, since withdrawn, to open the latter to
[00:18:13] international investors by the head of FIFA, Jenny Infantino, who
[00:18:17] apologized, received the support of the organization yesterday,
[00:18:21] it was during an emergency meeting in Rabat, hello Xavier Barret,
[00:18:25] independent journalist, specialized in football, thank you for being with
[00:18:28] us, so the latest news, it's Conmebol who
[00:18:32] represents South America who in turn expresses its
[00:18:35] concern about what it calls repeated unilateral
[00:18:39] actions by FIFA, will Jenny Infantino be able to stay
[00:18:43] in his post despite this?
[00:18:46] Good evening, good evening everyone, yes, we are now facing, regarding the
[00:18:50] situation, a real uprising from almost all
[00:18:53] continental representatives and that's what's new. For a long time, FIFA
[00:18:57] relied on its stronghold which was
[00:19:00] South America,
[00:19:04] Asia, especially the Middle East to...
[00:19:07] world football and to be able to play the match against
[00:19:10] UEFA which remains the European Union which
[00:19:13] remains the stronghold of world football, the center of
[00:19:17] world football, and there not only UEFA
[00:19:21] which has risen against Jenny Infantino's way of governing
[00:19:24] for several days, several weeks now, but it
[00:19:28] is joined by a number of other continents and that is a truly
[00:19:32] new element, it must be remembered that notably South America
[00:19:35] was during the time of Joah...
[00:19:39] the international federation from
[00:19:42] 1970 to
[00:19:45] 1998, it was really the
[00:19:48] stronghold of FIFA and Sepp Blatter when he took over
[00:19:52] from João Havelange as president of FIFA also relied, of course, on
[00:19:56] this South American stronghold but also on African
[00:19:59] federations and those of the Middle East to
[00:20:03] face and defeat the European candidate Lennart
[00:20:07] Johansson, who was the candidate, the president of UEFA, so
[00:20:10] there is always this rivalry between the two, and here what explains
[00:20:16] that it feels that the position of the FIFA president is for the
[00:20:20] first time in over 40 years truly
[00:20:24] weakened, not only with regard to Europeans but with regard to
[00:20:27] most federations worldwide. Yes, so FIFA,
[00:20:31] despite Gianni Infantino's apologies, has nevertheless declared that it will no longer tolerate
[00:20:34] any attack on its integrity, its good
[00:20:38] governance and the regularity of its procedures, silence in the
[00:20:41] ranks, so we have just seen that these confederations do not really seem
[00:20:45] determined to fall in line, who will have the last
[00:20:47] word?
[00:20:50] This is the whole issue of what will happen in the coming months, who will win this
[00:20:54] new war of leaders between UEFA, which wants to
[00:20:56] ally with other confederations to co-govern
[00:21:00] the world of football, and FIFA, which relies
[00:21:04] directly on the presidents of federations worldwide, there are
[00:21:07] 213 to try to assert its
[00:21:11] power, the issue is not only political power at the
[00:21:15] head of world football, it is first and foremost an economic issue, it
[00:21:18] must be known that... UEFA generates enormous
[00:21:21] amounts of money thanks to the Champions League, its very numerous
[00:21:25] sponsors and TV rights that are broadcast worldwide
[00:21:28] while FIFA plays its
[00:21:31] economic existence with the sale of TV
[00:21:35] rights and marketing of the World
[00:21:38] Cup every 4 years so on one side an organization,
[00:21:42] FIFA, which sells its TV rights very expensively but
[00:21:46] only every 4 years, hence Gianni Infantino's
[00:21:49] desire to try to make it happen every 2 years and on the other
[00:21:52] side, UEFA, which also sells its
[00:21:56] the Champions League very expensively, which happens every year, so the issue
[00:22:02] the world football economy and for that, well
[00:22:05] it's politics, all shots are allowed, it's just a matter
[00:22:09] of big money, Xavier Barret, or is there still some
[00:22:12] moral or ethical considerations when we see
[00:22:15] that among the private investors considered for this
[00:22:19] opening of 20% of commercial rights
[00:22:22] linked to the World Cups, well there is notably Donald Trump's son-in-law's
[00:22:25] brother, Joshua Kushner, with
[00:22:29] implies, is there really from these
[00:22:32] confederations today, UEFA,
[00:22:35] Conmebol, a rallying cry against profiteering,
[00:22:38] a deviation from FIFA's practices or ultimately are they
[00:22:42] all in the same boat today and do
[00:22:45] they all practice the same type of
[00:22:48] collusion?
[00:22:51] Well, you know, you don't need to go that far, you just look at what's happening in France
[00:22:55] with the creation,
[00:22:58] LFP Media, the marketing subsidiary of
[00:23:02] the LFP which was responsible for marketing the rights to French
[00:23:05] professional football and what happened in the end, there are no more
[00:23:09] TV rights for Ligue 1 and and in France, so we have
[00:23:13] witnessed a impoverishment of French football, even though there was a CVC
[00:23:16] investment fund that had come to take significant stakes in this
[00:23:20] newly created company, so investment funds when they
[00:23:24] come into sport, it's to make money back at some point,
[00:23:27] to earn money, but when they no longer earn money, they are no
[00:23:31] longer interested, uh most international
[00:23:34] institutions have more or less resisted these
[00:23:40] money in the organization of sport, FIFA under
[00:23:43] Giannini Infantino, we know, we saw it with the last World Cup which still
[00:23:47] generated 13 billion dollars in revenue
[00:23:51] for FIFA, so FIFA is open to all, as President
[00:23:55] Infantino says, to all opportunities, but
[00:23:58] clearly, this one goes too far because if you grant
[00:24:02] even 20% to private investors, they will
[00:24:05] come into football, not for the beauty of football but to recover their
[00:24:09] investment, to make money, so somewhere you are no longer in control
[00:24:13] of your organization, and that is what the different federation presidents
[00:24:16] and especially the confederation presidents.
[00:24:20] UEFA, you reminded us, Raphael, but also Conmebol and
[00:24:24] perhaps others tomorrow, absolutely do not want it, they want to
[00:24:27] remain the bosses of world football and
[00:24:30] organize it in one way or another, but without
[00:24:34] the pressure of investors who would already be in
[00:24:38] the organization. Thank you Xavier Barret for being with us to
[00:24:41] decipher what is happening behind the scenes of world football.
[00:24:45] Stay with us, next edition around the world, it's in 5 minutes on
[00:24:49] France 24.
[00:24:56] In 1946 Moldova.
[00:25:20] "There was a drought, no rain, and that's why there was a
[00:25:23] famine, it wasn't the drought that led us to the
[00:25:27] famine, but the Russians who took everything we had in the
[00:25:30] granary,
[00:25:37] one of the witnesses I spoke to described this area to me as a concentration
[00:25:42] chambers. 80 years later, a
[00:25:46] return ticket to the Great Famine of Moldova.
[00:26:16] France 24, daily economy,
[00:26:19] liberty, equality,
[00:26:21] news,
[00:26:28] Zoé scandal breaks out, the people who entrusted you with the children, do they know they...
[00:26:32] is in France, yes or no? No,
[00:26:35] a humanitarian couple claimed to offer a second chance to orphans
[00:26:38] from Darfur, children who for the most part resided in Chad with
[00:26:42] their families. They say: you have sold your children, but
[00:26:46] who sells their child? It's because they were promised an education that we accepted.
[00:26:50] accepté.
[00:26:53] It was a child theft, a real
[00:26:56] kidnapping.
[00:26:58] We heard a lot of stories, that we would be taken advantage of.
[00:27:03] maybe made to work in the factory, we were small, we didn't understand
[00:27:07] anything, 18 years later, meeting with these
[00:27:10] fake orphans, they told us that each child would receive
[00:27:14] 6000 euros in damages and interest, but for now, they haven't received
[00:27:18] anything,
[00:27:20] if the person recognizes their errors and asks for
[00:27:23] forgiveness, then you know they have
[00:27:25] evolved, but if that same person refuses
[00:27:29] to admit their faults, then...
[00:27:32] cannot forgive, return ticket, the Ark of
[00:27:36] Zoe scandal, to see on Franczon 4.
[00:30:05] News from around the world is live on France 24
[00:30:08] with first these apologies deemed insufficient, those of
[00:30:11] Janny Infantino after his aborted offer to open the commercial exploitation of the World
[00:30:15] Cups to private investors. The proposal is still not accepted by
[00:30:19] several confederations, especially that of Latin America which joins
[00:30:23] its voice to the criticisms expressed by UEFA.
[00:30:26] New exchange of strikes between Ukraine and Russia, drones dropped on Russian
[00:30:29] refineries against attacks on several Ukrainian cities. which makes
[00:30:33] it necessary to convince its Western allies to deliver anti-missile
[00:30:36] defenses. Israel, for its part, continues to strike Lebanon on the third
[00:30:40] day of negotiations, however, ongoing in Rome with the Lebanese authorities. The
[00:30:43] clashes with Hezbollah have left two Israeli victims, soldiers
[00:30:47] killed by an explosive device.
