[00:00:47] virus is progressing at an alarming rate. A case was

[00:01:12] "The FIFA crisis is far from over, no matter the apologies presented by
[00:01:15] the institution after Jan Infantino's project, since abandoned,
[00:01:19] to open up to private entities, UEFA
[00:01:22] is still boycotting the World Cups, Nicolas
[00:01:25] Chamontin.
[00:01:27] The apologies from FIFA's management are not enough. UEFA
[00:01:31] confirms that the boycott of the World Cups is still in effect.
[00:01:35] particularly from The member federations of UEFA have been very clear on the conditions related to
[00:01:38] their non-participation in FIFA
[00:01:40] support of competitions. These conditions have not been met. In addition to
[00:01:44] the abandonment of FIFA's commercial company project decided
[00:01:47] on Friday, the European football institution demands assurances
[00:01:51] that such an idea will never see the light of day. UEFA
[00:01:54] reaffirms having lost confidence in Gianni Infantino.
[00:01:58] On Wednesday evening, the head of the world body received the full support of his
[00:02:01] management, gathered in Morocco for a crisis meeting. In a
[00:02:05] statement, FIFA apologized after the
[00:02:09] controversy over opening up to private investors, a
[00:02:12] project that leaked to the press without the football stakeholders being
[00:02:16] informed. This Thursday, the South American Confederation
[00:02:19] Conmebol, despite being considered close
[00:02:21] company project, of which he wanted to become the to Infantino, in turn denounced the president's
[00:02:24] methods. The Conmebol council unanimously
[00:02:27] expresses its concern about the repeated
[00:02:30] unilateral actions, adopted without resorting to dialogue or the
[00:02:34] institutional mechanism provided for the handling of this type of
[00:02:36] situation. Apparently unshakeable a few
[00:02:40] weeks ago, Gianni Infantino seems
[00:02:42] exceptional rate since the declaration of more fragile than ever. The man who has led FIFA
[00:02:45] for a decade still
[00:02:47] Join us in the four corners of hopes to be re-elected next March thanks to the support of
[00:02:50] numerous federations in Africa and the
[00:02:53] leave because it's true that in the context of a FIFA Middle East. Journalist at
[00:02:58] new album "Boulevard" from Sofoot, Nicolas Kacismartov is with us. Good evening to you, thank you
[00:03:00] for answering our questions tonight. So, to what extent, in your opinion, is UEFA's voice,
[00:03:03] which has 55 members, strong, is it
[00:03:07] credible? You have to understand that we are not talking about the number of
[00:03:11] votes during a re-election congress. A priori, on this ground, Infantino
[00:03:15] is still capable of being re-elected, things can change between now and then.
[00:03:19] It's still next March, March 2027, so a lot of
[00:03:23] things can evolve, but the
[00:03:26] weight that UEFA has put is decisive, it's that a World Cup has
[00:03:29] an economic value, its sporting interest, so eventually
[00:03:33] the interest of private investors to come and buy and invest in the
[00:03:36] company, the commercial company that Gianni Infantino
[00:03:39] wants to found and
[00:03:41] It is an exercise to evacuate the Taiwanese wants to lead, well, it largely October 2007, the Ark of Zoe relies on European national
[00:03:44] teams, just like the famous Club World Cup that he
[00:03:47] hastily set up in the United States recently. So, in fact, UEFA's weight is
[00:03:51] simple: the economic heart, the beating heart of money,
[00:03:56] I'll see you in the Africa news on where it flows abundantly, including Hankuang. The aim of where African players go to get their salaries, etc. The market for
[00:04:00] outlets and South American players are still in Europe, and therefore
[00:04:04] any threat of a boycott of the World Cup
[00:04:08] de facto destroys the interest of a commercial company
[00:04:11] from within. So FIFA has pulled out a
[00:04:13] also add the cost of kind of nuclear weapon to thwart Mr. Gianni Infantino's
[00:04:16] project. But the scenario of a World Cup
[00:04:19] without UEFA is truly
[00:04:23] conceivable. It can indeed happen,
[00:04:27] but who would want to invest? What commercial
[00:04:30] company would want to put money in if there are no major
[00:04:34] national teams? I remind you that at the last World
[00:04:37] Cup, there were six European teams out of eight in the quarter-finals, and
[00:04:41] the winner was Spanish. And Spain, excuse me,
[00:04:43] Spain is the reigning champion. Furthermore, the market
[00:04:47] also, what are the outlets for TV rights, for
[00:04:51] commercial dimensions? China, like
[00:04:54] India, is... China has become a bit disinterested in soccer lately.
[00:04:57] India doesn't pay
[00:05:00] excessive attention to it, and there isn't a monstrous market there for now. So, without
[00:05:04] Europe, it's economically unimaginable. It can hold
[00:05:07] up from a strictly sporting point of view, but you
[00:05:10] notice that from this point of view, for
[00:05:13] Infantino, who wants to absolutely keep power, he also tries to placate
[00:05:17] UEFA because there hasn't been a frontal attack or an offensive
[00:05:20] response to the threats that should have
[00:05:23] aroused his anger from UEFA and
[00:05:27] its president Mr. Safina. So what can be the
[00:05:30] consequences of
[00:05:33] UEFA? Can we imagine that other
[00:05:36] confederations will follow? We know that CONMEBOL
[00:05:39] has indeed expressed some
[00:05:42] reluctance.
[00:05:45] In fact, I repeat again, we are dealing with pure capitalism here. On one
[00:05:49] side, you have Infantino's financial logic of always more money, whatever the cost, and on the other
[00:05:52] side, you have UEFA, which is on a marketing logic, marketing, we will protect the
[00:05:56] product, give it value, protect what it represents so that we can
[00:06:00] gradually continue to generate profits.
[00:06:03] UEFA has done perfectly well with, for example, the Champions
[00:06:06] League, but the essential fact is that he doesn't even
[00:06:10] need to call for a boycott from other federations. If UEFA doesn't go to the World
[00:06:14] Cup, no one will want to go, no one will want to follow it, no one will
[00:06:18] want to pay for it. So it's not even necessary for there to be a
[00:06:21] rally around UEFA, and that's the problem Infantino is facing. That's why he's backing
[00:06:25] down, as he felt obliged to, just as he had to
[00:06:29] backtrack at one point on the idea of a World Cup every 2 years because UEFA was
[00:06:33] opposed to it. He has an economic heart, and he is somewhat a victim of a
[00:06:36] boomerang effect of his purely economic logic: money, and for
[00:06:40] now, Europe and the other confederations. Never against
[00:06:43] that. The fact remains that confidence in Gianni Infantino,
[00:06:47] UEFA, is largely
[00:06:50] eroded. He has the the FIFA
[00:06:54] institution. Is it nonetheless
[00:06:57] unthinkable at present for Gianni Infantino to resign?
[00:07:00] So clearly it's not
[00:07:04] in the cards, it's not what appears. Now, we are in a situation that we have
[00:07:07] never experienced before at the head of FIFA.
[00:07:10] Mr. Blatter had been dismissed, but there had
[00:07:14] been personal affairs, accusations of
[00:07:17] impropriety that were, incidentally, cleared, so to speak, by the
[00:07:21] Swiss justice system, which is not very vigilant on these matters. But it is a very
[00:07:24] original situation that we are facing, it is difficult to predict. What is
[00:07:28] certain is that Mr. Infantino absolutely wants to stay in power, and his commercial
[00:07:33] commissioner, the, so to speak, manager, even after his
[00:07:37] departure from FIFA, showed his desire to continue to enrich himself because he
[00:07:41] enriches himself enormously with football, and to continue, in a way, to hold
[00:07:44] the reins of world football. If you have the money, we will
[00:07:48] not lie, especially for a structure like FIFA, which is not really
[00:07:51] brilliant when it comes to the development of football for all,
[00:07:54] you somehow maintain
[00:07:58] control of affairs. No, but Infantino for now doesn't want to
[00:08:01] leave, I don't know how he could
[00:08:05] congress he would surely still have a majority, the question is would it be
[00:08:09] as strong as before, he was unanimous, and secondly if... UEFA
[00:08:13] continues to enter this conflict which has been ongoing for a long time, people don't necessarily
[00:08:17] know, but for example UEFA suspects Infantino of being behind the Super
[00:08:20] League project which aimed to undermine its authority, if it continues like
[00:08:24] this, imagine a congress where he is re-elected but UEFA decides to
[00:08:27] secede, anything is possible today, he has opened a
[00:08:31] window of possibilities that we didn't imagine possible and his weight is
[00:08:34] all the more important, finally, as you said, he has his
[00:08:38] eyes turned towards his succession, especially since there are
[00:08:41] no declared candidates for his
[00:08:44] succession, except himself.
[00:08:47] For now, no one has officially declared themselves. The names that
[00:08:51] are circulating are all close people and personalities who have very similar
[00:08:55] profiles to his. He himself was a former protégé of
[00:08:58] Mr. Blatter and a friend of Mr. Platini,
[00:09:01] which he betrayed. So I don't think we should
[00:09:05] imagine that Infantino's departure would be a revolution. Perhaps the
[00:09:09] successor would give guarantees to UEFA to forget this
[00:09:12] story, and we would start on new foundations. Moreover, there are projects that
[00:09:15] continue, that are still underway. He also has the question of moving to
[00:09:19] 64 teams qualified for the World Cup, the partnerships with
[00:09:22] countries like Saudi Arabia. So I don't think someone who would take over would be
[00:09:26] necessarily different in FIFA's economic project. He
[00:09:30] would perhaps be more prudent and, how
[00:09:33] can I say, more attentive to managing
[00:09:37] sensitivities and operating methods, which is what he is being criticized for
[00:09:40] across the entire football world, including in Africa. It's the way he
[00:09:44] had, that he had, of wanting to impose this in record time without telling
[00:09:47] anyone, that the leaders, the presidents, discovered things in the
[00:09:50] press. It's something that has somewhat traumatized this very discreet world where things are
[00:09:54] decided behind closed doors. They had the feeling of being ousted, while everyone
[00:09:58] wants a piece of the pie. Thank you very much, Nicolas Kassi Smartov,
[00:10:02] journalist at Sofoot. Thank you for answering our questions tonight.
[00:10:04] Thank you very much. Antonio
[00:10:08] Guterres, the UN Secretary General, has condemned both Russia and Ukraine
[00:10:12] for the attacks of recent days on civilian areas. Both sides
[00:10:15] are intensifying their strikes. Kyiv targeted several Russian oil
[00:10:19] refineries on Thursday. Moscow bombed the regions of Kharkiv
[00:10:22] and Sumy. Nicolas Chamontin.
[00:10:26] Guided bombs fell around 2 am in Sumy.
[00:10:30] In this city in northern Ukraine, a Russian attack damaged
[00:10:34] residential areas and shops, and surprised residents.
[00:10:37] It was as if aliens had arrived, the explosion was so
[00:10:43] the apartment, I barely had time to get out. Several
[00:10:46] people were injured in Sumy and
[00:10:50] the region. Authorities also report casualties in
[00:10:54] the archive region, a little further east. Russian strikes that
[00:10:57] come on top of those on Wednesday on the Kyiv region as well as on
[00:11:01] Kramatorsk. 500 children and their families who still lived in
[00:11:05] this eastern city had to be evacuated due to the violence of the
[00:11:08] attacks. Although the Ukrainian army manages to intercept most
[00:11:12] of the drones, it has great difficulty stopping the
[00:11:15] missiles. This weakening is attributed by President
[00:11:18] Zelensky to delays in interceptor deliveries
[00:11:22] compared to 2025.
[00:11:26] Ukraine has started to receive about three times fewer anti-ballistic missiles
[00:11:29] to defend our state, this situation is mainly related to the
[00:11:33] war, or as it is now fair to say,
[00:11:37] to hostilities and wars in the
[00:11:39] Middle East.
[00:11:43] Last week, Volodymyr Zelensky once again went to
[00:11:47] Washington to convince Donald Trump to deliver him
[00:11:50] Patriot systems, the only ones capable of intercepting the most
[00:11:54] powerful Russian missiles. A request refused by the American
[00:11:57] president due to the shortage of Patriots in his stocks
[00:12:01] since the start of the war in the Middle East. At the same
[00:12:04] time, Kyiv continues its attacks on Russian territory. On Thursday,
[00:12:08] a fire broke out in this important refinery in the Yaroslavl
[00:12:11] region, about 250 km northeast of
[00:12:15] Moscow. According to the local governor, all drones
[00:12:18] launched by Kyiv were intercepted, but fragments hit
[00:12:21] storage tanks and injured several people.
[00:12:26] We will now return to these negotiations that seem to be well underway
[00:12:30] between Oman and Iran for the reopening of the Strait of
[00:12:33] Hormuz. Good evening, Lord Mannin. Well
[00:12:36] underway, but there's a big "but" that the United States is tackling, and they say that Donald
[00:12:40] Trump is an obstacle. Yes, absolutely. Iran and Oman have, in fact,
[00:12:43] agreed on a transit route within the Strait of
[00:12:46] Hormuz, but Tehran warns
[00:12:50] that this would only be possible if, and I quote, "third
[00:12:53] parties do not interfere," and the process implies that Washington will not
[00:12:57] meddle. Let's remember that since the beginning of the
[00:13:00] war against Iran, Tehran has retaliated by closing and blocking the Strait of Hormuz, through
[00:13:04] which usually circulates one-fifth of the world's oil
[00:13:08] and gas. So, it seems like good news, this agreement.
[00:13:12] Alas, the markets are much more cautious than one might
[00:13:15] imagine. In fact, the price of oil has started to rise again because,
[00:13:19] at the same time, the Yemeni Houthi rebels
[00:13:22] who are on the peninsula south of the
[00:13:25] Arabian Peninsula are blocking the Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb by bombing and
[00:13:29] attacking Saudi oil tankers, which is not reassuring for
[00:13:32] now. North Sea Brent has therefore risen by about 2% to
[00:13:36] around 80 dollars a barrel for American WTI, it's over
[00:13:40] 66 dollars for now. So Donald Trump himself
[00:13:43] looks at oil prices with some concern, because if black
[00:13:47] gold is too high, it has a direct influence on the cost of living for
[00:13:51] the United States, of course, for the Americans and on his popularity.
[00:13:54] Exactly. Because the price of a gallon of oil
[00:13:57] has increased a lot in the United States since the war started.
[00:14:01] Before the bombings against Iran in February, a gallon
[00:14:04] was 3 dollars per unit. It is now
[00:14:08] over 4 dollars, with even a peak at almost 5 dollars in
[00:14:12] May. The price of gasoline weighs on transportation, road transportation which is very important
[00:14:16] in the United States and serves to transport obviously all everyday
[00:14:19] consumer products, including food. Inevitable consumption
[00:14:23] for Americans who find themselves having to dedicate an increasingly
[00:14:27] important part of their budget to their daily consumption. Inflation
[00:14:30] has therefore increased a lot and it is very clearly linked to these
[00:14:34] bombings in Iran. To this, we must
[00:14:38] the US military intervention in the country, which represents about
[00:14:41] 150 billion dollars, according to the chief
[00:14:44] economist of the Mousiz agency, and that represents
[00:14:47] 1100 dollars per American household. So we are
[00:14:51] far from the improvement of the situation for Americans
[00:14:54] that Donald Trump promised in his mandate. He had made the
[00:14:57] cost of living the mandate of
[00:15:01] his, the motto of his
[00:15:04] second mandate. So this weighs very heavily on the population's budget
[00:15:07] and it costs him dearly because indeed his unpopularity has
[00:15:11] never been so great. So at the same time, Donald Trump also has to manage
[00:15:14] internal opposition. 25 states
[00:15:17] are challenging the latest tariffs he implemented a
[00:15:21] few days ago to effectively, or at least
[00:15:23] officially, fight forced labor. Yes, these are
[00:15:27] new customs duties of 10% and 12.5%
[00:15:30] applied to some sixty countries and the European Union. Indeed,
[00:15:34] they were implemented very recently, since July 24th, and
[00:15:38] it is indeed officially, according to Donald Trump, to punish states that
[00:15:42] resort either directly to forced labor or that do not put enough measures in place to
[00:15:46] fight this scourge. However, 25 American states, two
[00:15:49] of which are led by Republicans, have decided to challenge
[00:15:53] this measure in court, and this is not Donald Trump's first setback
[00:15:57] on his customs policy, since in February the Supreme
[00:16:00] Court rejected the first customs duties he had put in place, these punitive
[00:16:03] duties, and forced him to reimburse on his...
[00:16:07] 29 billion euros that were requested for reimbursement by
[00:16:11] importing companies in the United States, and 100 billion have already been
[00:16:14] reimbursed by the Trump administration, and that is not
[00:16:17] going to improve the purchasing power
[00:16:20] of Americans either, and therefore the popularity of Donald Trump. Thank
[00:16:24] you very much, Lore Mannin.
[00:16:28] With 3973 confirmed cases, including
[00:16:31] 1801 deaths, the 17th Ebola epidemic that has occurred
[00:16:35] in the Democratic Republic of Congo is the most important
[00:16:38] the country has ever known. A suspected case has just been reported on a boat that was heading to
[00:16:42] Kinshasa, the capital. The spread of the virus is worrying, but the
[00:16:45] response is being organized, a treatment center has opened in
[00:16:49] Bouna in the northeast. Clarisse Fortuné.
[00:16:53] Healthcare workers in eastern DRC are intensifying their
[00:16:56] fight against Ebola. This new treatment center in Bunia
[00:17:00] is expected to become the largest in the country. It is designed to
[00:17:04] handle the increasing number of patients. So the work is in
[00:17:07] the process of being finalized. It is a 100-bed center, with a
[00:17:11] capacity of 100 beds, of which 60 beds are for
[00:17:14] confirmed cases and 40 beds for suspected cases.
[00:17:18] We have over 300
[00:17:21] staff who will work in this center, and we are counting
[00:17:25] on the community to be able to
[00:17:28] accelerate the process of identifying cases.
[00:17:32] The epidemic is caused by the rare Budiboo strain of the
[00:17:35] Ebola virus, for which there is currently no approved vaccine or treatment.
[00:17:39] But according to the World Health
[00:17:42] Organization, research protocols developed before the start of the epidemic
[00:17:46] have made it possible to accelerate the evaluation of new
[00:17:48] treatments. If we compare this epidemic to previous
[00:17:52] Ebola outbreaks, we were able to launch clinical trials much more
[00:17:56] quickly. This is due to the very promising progress
[00:18:00] made in our way of conducting research and development,
[00:18:03] because the protocols had been drafted even before the start of the epidemic.
[00:18:08] This is precisely the direction that the global scientific community seeks to
[00:18:11] adopt in the face of epidemics: to maximize preparation
[00:18:15] upstream. The Bundibugyo strain of the virus has been spreading at an
[00:18:20] the epidemic in May. More than 3700 confirmed cases and
[00:18:23] more than 1650 deaths have now been recorded, making
[00:18:27] it the largest Ebola epidemic ever recorded in the country.
[00:18:31] Several experimental vaccines and treatments are now progressing
[00:18:34] in parallel, raising hopes that the
[00:18:37] Ebola epidemic will finally have effective tools to slow its
[00:18:41] spread.
[00:18:45] It's a ritual since 1984. Taiwan
[00:18:48] has begun its annual military exercises. They are scheduled to last 10 days.
[00:18:52] The island, which has increased its defense spending under pressure from the United States, is conducting large-scale
[00:18:55] maneuvers, preparing for a potential
[00:18:59] Chinese invasion. China makes no secret of its ambition to acquire what it
[00:19:02] considers to be one of its provinces. Luke,
[00:19:05] if you are there. In the streets of
[00:19:09] Taipei, armored vehicle maneuvers with the President,
[00:19:12] Liichingte, wearing a bulletproof vest and helmet.
[00:19:15] Parbal et casque.
[00:19:19] head of state from his office to a secret base with his
[00:19:23] defense minister. For
[00:19:25] 10 days, the island lives to the rhythm of these military exercises named
[00:19:30] the operation is to verify the speed of reaction if China
[00:19:34] attempted to paralyze command centers in particular, but
[00:19:38] also logistics such as ports or military industry
[00:19:41] sites. Our forces are training for combat
[00:19:45] against the enemy threat. This shows our preparation, strengthens
[00:19:49] our operational capabilities, our defense, and our high-level
[00:19:52] combat readiness. Our power will deter any enemy aggression,
[00:19:56] preserve national security and regional
[00:19:58] stability. A stability undermined by
[00:20:02] Beijing. China threatens to invade Taiwan, which it considers
[00:20:06] to be a part of its territory, to carry out what it calls reunification. Xi Jinping
[00:20:10] does not rule out using
[00:20:13] force. The deterrence offered by American
[00:20:16] support for the island is weakened by Donald Trump's unpredictability.
[00:20:20] After his visit to Beijing in May, the American
[00:20:24] president was conciliatory with the Chinese
[00:20:27] number one. Taiwan is now awaiting congressional approval
[00:20:30] for an arms sale of 14 billion dollars.
[00:20:34] It is currently on hold by the Trump
[00:20:37] administration.
[00:20:40] Japan commemorated the 81st anniversary of the dropping of the
[00:20:43] first atomic bomb by the Americans on Hiroshima.
[00:20:46] A ceremony was held at the city's Peace Memorial
[00:20:50] Park. A minute of silence was observed in tribute to the tens of
[00:20:54] thousands of dead, the exact number is not known. On this
[00:20:57] occasion, the Prime Minister reaffirmed the country's commitment to its non-nuclear
[00:21:01] principles.
[00:21:04] Our nation firmly defends the three anti-nuclear principles,
[00:21:08] and as the only country in the world to have suffered atomic bombings in wartime,
[00:21:12] it has a mission to relentlessly pursue its efforts towards
[00:21:15] the creation of a world without nuclear
[00:21:17] weapons.
[00:21:19] This is the straw that could break the camel's back. The city of
[00:21:23] Annecy wants to limit the number of boats rented by private companies,
[00:21:27] but the announcement is not well received by tourism professionals. Théo
[00:21:30] Laroche.
[00:21:32] On Lake Annecy, more and more boats and waters that have become
[00:21:35] overcrowded, with a parade of customers on the pontoons who came to
[00:21:39] enjoy these small boats rented by private companies. Make
[00:21:43] sure to turn off your engine when you go swimming, there is always one person who stays in
[00:21:46] the boat. At the end of July, the town hall issued an order...
[00:21:50] prohibiting the rental of boats from public pontoons. A great
[00:21:54] disappointment for this professional, it's a bit
[00:21:56] complicated because we, for the season, had
[00:21:59] a coup, we're going to say, an administrative loophole that allowed
[00:22:03] us to rent like that and in the middle of the season, even though we had to make
[00:22:07] investments because we had the right to do that, they kind of pulled
[00:22:10] the rug out from under us without dialogue. In one year,
[00:22:14] these private boat rentals have almost doubled, according to the town hall.
[00:22:17] There are other places for professionals, but this one
[00:22:21] has trouble hiding his bitterness. "We set up a
[00:22:24] company, the boats are amortized, we're finally starting to earn salaries
[00:22:27] from it, and now the mayor wants to take our jobs." According to the town hall, this
[00:22:31] commercial activity obstructs bicycle and
[00:22:34] pedestrian traffic, it occupies the boat launches used by sailing
[00:22:37] clubs, and threatens wildlife and flora. This decree is intended
[00:22:41] to put a stop to practices that are not regulated, it is intended to put a
[00:22:45] stop to the passive use of these pontoons on which one
[00:22:49] can stay, remain parked indefinitely. For
[00:22:52] now, the town hall is focusing on prevention. As soon as the
[00:22:55] prohibition signs are installed in a few days, offenders
[00:22:58] will face a fine of €150.

[00:24:31] scandal breaks out. The people who entrusted you with the
[00:24:34] children, did they know they were going to France? Yes or no? No. A
[00:24:37] humanitarian couple claimed to offer a second chance to orphans from
[00:24:41] Darfur. Children who for the most part resided in Chad with their
[00:24:45] families. They say "you sold your children, but who
[00:24:49] sells their child"? It's because we were promised an education that we
[00:24:53] accepted.
[00:24:56] It was child abduction, a real
[00:24:58] kidnapping. We heard many
[00:25:02] stories,
[00:25:06] maybe make us work at
[00:25:07] the factory.
[00:25:15] They told us that each child would receive 6000
[00:25:17] euros. They received
[00:25:20] nothing.
[00:25:23] If the person admits their mistakes and asks for
[00:25:26] forgiveness, then you know that they have
[00:25:28] evolved. But if that same person refuses
[00:25:32] to admit their wrongs, then you
[00:25:35] cannot forgive. Return ticket, the Ark of Zoe

[00:28:53] club when it comes to transforming European
[00:28:56] subsidies into growth, and we will
[00:28:58] see this in two regions particularly in difficulty,
[00:29:02] Corsica due to its insularity with its
[00:29:05] 36,000 inhabitants who nevertheless have many projects
[00:29:08] in terms of research on clementines, sea urchins and many
[00:29:12] other sectors. And
[00:29:14] here in Creuse, a rural French department that is
[00:29:18] depopulating. The European manna is highly anticipated to boost
[00:29:22] growth and employment. It is particularly directed
[00:29:25] towards the wood industry or tourism and
