[00:00:10] October 2007, the scandal of retaliation after the attacks carried out against Yemeni soldiers,
[00:00:13] there were 38 dead, the rebels
[00:00:16] denouncing a reinforcement of Yemeni troops supported by Saudi Arabia.
[00:00:20] The
[00:00:23] UEFA demands guarantees from FIFA on the abandonment of Janny
[00:00:26] Infantino's project to open the body to private investors in the meantime. The boycott of the World
[00:00:30] Cups continues, and then this fire
[00:00:33] in the Aude region in the south of France, caused by a traffic
[00:00:36] accident, 100 hectares covered in a few hours, but the content is favorable to the prefecture.
[00:00:40] The
[00:00:42] US Senate committee found
[00:00:49] since the beginning of
[00:00:57] FIFA crisis is not ending,
[00:00:58] the forefront, the former Beninese head of no matter the apologies presented
[00:01:01] by the body after Janny Infantino's abandoned project
[00:01:05] to open up to private bodies, the UEFA
[00:01:15] management are useless, the UEFA assures that the boycott of the World
[00:01:18] Cups is still in effect. The member federations of UEFA
[00:01:22] have been very clear about the conditions related to their non-participation in FIFA
[00:01:26] competitions. These conditions have not been met. In addition to
[00:01:30] the abandonment of FIFA's commercial company project decided
[00:01:33] on Friday, the European football body demands assurances
[00:01:36] that such an idea will never see the light of day again. The UEFA
[00:01:40] reaffirms that it has lost confidence in Jenny Infantino.
[00:01:45] In the Aude, the fire started in the On Wednesday evening, the head of world football received the full support of his
[00:01:47] management, gathered in Morocco for a crisis meeting. In a
[00:01:51] statement, FIFA apologized after the
[00:01:54] controversy over opening up to private investors, a
[00:01:58] project that leaked in the press without the football players being
[00:02:01] informed. This Thursday, the South American confederation
[00:02:05] Conmebol, although reputed to be close
[00:02:07] first discuss the visit of the WHO to Infantino, has in turn denounced the president's
[00:02:10] methods. The Conmebol council unanimously
[00:02:13] expresses its concern about the repeated
[00:02:16] unilateral actions, adopted without recourse to dialogue or the institutional
[00:02:19] mechanism provided for the treatment of this type of
[00:02:22] situation. Apparently unshakeable a few
[00:02:26] weeks ago, Jeanine Fantino seems more fragile than
[00:02:29] ever. The one who has led FIFA for a decade still
[00:02:32] hopes to be re-elected next March thanks to the support of
[00:02:36] many federations in Africa and the
[00:02:40] requires honesty, Middle East. An initial report indicates two dead and 13 injured, a bomb exploded
[00:02:45] Authority for Media and in Jaramana, southeast commitment, of Damascus, the Syrian demandingness, and
[00:02:47] capital. The device was placed in a public transport minibus.
[00:02:51] There is no further information to
[00:02:54] communicate.
[00:02:57] World Health Organization At least 38 dead among Yemeni forces. Drone and missile attacks claimed
[00:03:00] by the Houthis, the rebels denounce a reinforcement of Yemeni troops
[00:03:04] supported by Saudi Arabia, the Yemeni government threatens
[00:03:08] took place at the city's Peace Memorial retaliation.
[00:03:12] After several attacks in the Red Sea against Saudi oil tankers, the Houthis
[00:03:16] are now striking on land, a direct response
[00:03:20] WHO. according to them to Saudi Arabia's increased support for Yemeni government
[00:03:23] forces for several weeks.
[00:03:25] This
[00:03:30] operation allowed to kill and injure many Saudi
[00:03:34] mercenaries, to destroy and burn a large number of camps and
[00:03:37] arms depots of the Saudi enemy in the east of the
[00:03:39] country,
[00:03:42] press and pluralism of as well as to destroy a large number of military vehicles stationed in the camps.
[00:03:46] According to
[00:03:51] an anonymous military source, Houthi
[00:03:54] That's the end of this Africa news, thank you for drones and missiles struck several military camps in the province of Marib in the center of the
[00:03:57] country and in Adramout near the border with Saudi
[00:04:01] Arabia. This is the deadliest toll since 2022
[00:04:05] between the two sides. Since 2014, a proxy war has been taking place in
[00:04:08] Yemen between the Houthi rebels allied with Iran and the Yemeni
[00:04:11] government supported by Riyadh and Washington. In
[00:04:15] 2022, a fragile truce came
[00:04:17] president of into effect. But it broke down last month when
[00:04:21] association, we the Houthis welcomed an Iranian plane in Sanaa, violating the Saudi
[00:04:24] grip on Yemeni airspace. The Houthis
[00:04:27] then announced a naval blockade of Saudi ports and
[00:04:30] began to target the kingdom's
[00:04:33] oil tankers.
[00:04:36] We warn the Saudi enemy against any reckless
[00:04:39] action against our country and our people. It will have to
[00:04:43] bear the consequences of any
[00:04:45] escalation.
[00:04:47] Saudi Arabia has not yet reacted to this new attack. The
[00:04:51] Yemeni government, recognized by the international community,
[00:04:55] announced that it would retaliate, I quote, at the opportune
[00:04:58] time and place. A week after the expulsion order
[00:05:02] issued by France against Xenia Federova, former president of Russia
[00:05:06] Today in France, currently a columnist on
[00:05:09] to express her gratitude to the hospital CNews and Europan, whom Paris considers a Kremlin
[00:05:11] propagandist. Moscow denounces political
[00:05:14] persecution:
[00:05:17] the expulsion of Xenia Fedorova is a clear
[00:05:20] demonstration of France's ideological and moral weakness, of its
[00:05:24] cowardice and its inability to defend its point of
[00:05:27] view through a healthy debate and to engage in a fair
[00:05:30] dialogue. We consider the political persecution of
[00:05:33] journalists on the basis of false accusations unacceptable and
[00:05:37] we strongly condemn it. Such actions are incompatible with France's
[00:05:40] rhetoric on its commitment to the principle of freedom of expression,
[00:05:44] this is a new violation of its international obligations in the
[00:05:47] matter, enough to open the way for legal
[00:05:51] proceedings, a Republican-majority
[00:05:54] Anthony Fauci guilty of contempt of
[00:05:58] Congress, accused of having obstructed an investigation, he who
[00:06:01] had organized the White House's response during the covid-19
[00:06:04] pandemic, had then repeatedly
[00:06:07] contradicted Donald Trump when he was
[00:06:09] president.
[00:06:13] The fire is contained, the situation is favorable in the Aude prefecture in
[00:06:17] southern France, a road accident caused a fire in the Corbières
[00:06:20] massif, the same massif where last year the flames had devoured 11,000
[00:06:24] hectares of vegetation.
[00:06:28] The flames spread with incredible speed, pushed
[00:06:31] by the tramontane at 30 km/h,
[00:06:35] the fire devours the vegetation.
[00:06:38] Faced with the blaze, 250 firefighters deployed
[00:06:42] in this limestone massif,
[00:06:45] quickly reinforced by 10 aerial resources, including two
[00:06:49] Dash 8, four Canadairs and a water bomber
[00:06:52] helicopter.
[00:06:57] commune of Montseret, it is heading towards Saint-André de
[00:07:01] Roclenque and threatens the houses.
[00:07:05] 1200 people are now confined in these two
[00:07:08] communes, including a man we reached by phone and
[00:07:12] who filmed these images, the fire is a few hundred
[00:07:15] meters from his home, so how do we approach the night, I think it will be a sleepless night
[00:07:19] and we will prepare all the belongings just in case, so for now
[00:07:22] uh well we don't know exactly what it will
[00:07:25] do, the worry in this village of
[00:07:28] 1500 inhabitants, everyone scrutinizes the progress of the
[00:07:31] flames, I was called by the
[00:07:34] family and they told me that La Reculonge was burning and
[00:07:38] well, being from the village I rushed to get home from work and...
[00:07:42] which is La Roque Longue, the landscape near the
[00:07:45] village, a few minutes ago, these
[00:07:49] images reached us, the first calcified landscapes, and it's
[00:07:53] always heartbreaking because obviously nature
[00:07:56] going up in smoke, it's always quite
[00:07:59] traumatic, a vehicle that caught fire after a
[00:08:03] road accident is believed to be the cause of this fire, the vineyards
[00:08:06] in the path of the fire could act as a
[00:08:10] barrier tonight.
[00:08:12] Japan commemorated the 81st anniversary of the dropping of the first atomic bomb by the
[00:08:16] Americans on Hiroshima, a ceremony
[00:08:21] Park, a minute of silence was observed in homage to the tens
[00:08:25] of thousands of dead. The exact number is not known. On this
[00:08:28] occasion, the Prime Minister reaffirmed the country's commitment to its
[00:08:31] non-nuclear
[00:08:32] principles.
[00:08:36] Our nation firmly defends the three anti-nuclear principles
[00:08:40] and as the only country in the world to have suffered atomic bombings in wartime,
[00:08:44] it has a mission to relentlessly pursue its efforts to
[00:08:47] create a world free of nuclear
[00:12:25] together for about ten minutes for the Africa news, we start with the
[00:12:29] headlines of this edition. We will
[00:12:32] head to the Democratic Republic of Congo. He affirms his desire to
[00:12:36] intensify the response against Ebola and better protect health
[00:12:40] personnel, while in the country many doctors claim not to have received
[00:12:43] salaries in recent months.
[00:12:46] Textile factories may have to close in South
[00:12:50] Africa. Many positions have been vacant since the departure of
[00:12:53] migrants at the end of June, driven by anti-foreigner
[00:12:56] demonstrations, since then it has been difficult to find
[00:12:59] labor.
[00:13:02] And then we will go to Rwanda where cinema has gained popularity in recent months
[00:13:06] since the Golden Camera obtained at Cannes by the feature film
[00:13:09] Benimana, Rwandans are flocking to cinemas and open-air
[00:13:12] festivals.
[00:13:13] We must
[00:13:17] intensify the response against Ebola, that's what the head of the
[00:13:22] declared earlier. He has been visiting the Democratic Republic of Congo
[00:13:26] since yesterday. Since May 15, more than 3900 cases have been
[00:13:29] recorded in the country, among which 1801 deaths.
[00:13:33] Earlier, a suspected case was reported on a boat heading to
[00:13:37] Kinshasa. The man died with symptoms
[00:13:40] corresponding to those of the Ebola virus. We are going to listen to the Director-
[00:13:43] General of the
[00:13:45] I
[00:13:50] think that one of the particularities of this
[00:13:53] epidemic is its unprecedented
[00:13:56] speed,
[00:13:58] it is spreading really, really fast,
[00:14:01] and I won't hide what I feel, I am
[00:14:04] deeply very concerned about the situation
[00:14:08] on the ground, Lituri is of course the epicenter
[00:14:12] but as our report says, five other provinces are
[00:14:16] already affected.
[00:14:18] The
[00:14:24] head of the WHO is also calling for better protection of health
[00:14:27] personnel, and precisely, on the front line, doctors,
[00:14:31] nurses denounce their working conditions, they claim not to have
[00:14:35] been paid since the beginning of the crisis
[00:14:43] ritual, Wiza Bandele puts on his suit and disinfection equipment before
[00:14:47] tackling a house whose
[00:14:51] occupants died of the Ebola virus. This is
[00:14:55] essential to hope to curb the spread of the
[00:14:58] virus, which continues to hit the country,
[00:15:02] yet since the beginning of his mission in mid-May,
[00:15:05] Wiza has still not received a salary. In
[00:15:08] July, he joined other health workers on
[00:15:12] strike.
[00:15:14] We went on strike because we realized that we were working in dangerous
[00:15:18] conditions and that we were giving a lot of ourselves. We
[00:15:21] operate in risky situations. It can happen that
[00:15:25] patients vomit blood, we must then
[00:15:27] clean.
[00:15:31] In July, the Congolese Minister of Health had acknowledged payment
[00:15:34] delays attributed to organizational problems, assuring
[00:15:38] that they would be resolved. Since then, some of his colleagues have indeed
[00:15:41] been paid, but only in part according to Wiza. He claims
[00:15:45] to have received nothing yet and continues to work 7
[00:15:49] days a week, despite the risks he is
[00:15:52] exposed to. I could contract this
[00:15:55] virus and then contaminate my family and my
[00:15:58] neighbors. So I realize that because of me, many
[00:16:01] people could
[00:16:03] die.
[00:16:06] Despite the fear. Wiza refuses to leave his post for
[00:16:09] now, guided by a sense of duty, a mission all the
[00:16:13] more crucial as this epidemic has now surpassed that of
[00:16:16] 2018 in terms of cases. According to Congolese
[00:16:19] authorities, more than 8370 cases have
[00:16:23] been confirmed, including 1751 deaths
[00:16:32] Patrice Talon returns to
[00:16:35] state was elected president
[00:16:37] of the Senate, a 5-year mandate that makes him today
[00:16:41] the third most important figure in the country after the President and the
[00:16:44] Vice-President of the
[00:16:46] Republic.
[00:16:49] Is this a sign that Senegal is getting back on track? In any case, the
[00:16:53] World Bank has decided to grant it financing of 340
[00:16:56] billion CFA francs. The country was practically
[00:16:59] blacklisted by international partners since the crisis with
[00:17:03] the International Monetary Fund over
[00:17:13] 340 billion CFA francs, is intended for
[00:17:16] several sectors such as agriculture, energy
[00:17:19] and transport. This announcement was made during an
[00:17:23] audience granted by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye to
[00:17:26] World Bank Vice President Ousmane Diagana. The
[00:17:30] World Bank has also decided on direct budgetary
[00:17:33] support to the state of Senegal, budgetary
[00:17:36] support which is well known in a difficult economic context,
[00:17:40] Senegal which has been going through several months of crisis and tension
[00:17:43] on its public finances linked in particular to the debt
[00:17:47] service that the country has decided to honor as
[00:17:51] best it can, this announcement of new financing from the World
[00:17:54] Bank is a positive signal according to the
[00:17:57] dignitaries of power, a positive signal towards more favorable
[00:18:00] economic conditions, Senegal which is notably aiming for an
[00:18:04] agreement with the International Monetary Fund on a
[00:18:07] new program to
[00:18:15] investors.
[00:18:18] A decision that is causing a lot of talk in Chad, that of the High
[00:18:23] Audiovisual, which is suspending until further notice the examination of
[00:18:26] applications for the creation of online newspapers. The regulator states
[00:18:30] that it wants to better regulate this rapidly expanding sector and thus
[00:18:42] challenges media stakeholders. The High Authority for
[00:18:46] Media and Audiovisual freezes the examination of applications for
[00:18:50] the creation of new online newspapers. The measure is part of,
[00:18:53] according to the regulator, the implementation of its 2026-2028 strategic
[00:18:57] plan, with the ambition of sanitizing the
[00:19:01] sector and better responding to the informational
[00:19:04] abuses observed on digital platforms.
[00:19:08] While the Association of Online Media in Chad (AMED) understands the
[00:19:11] need for better regulation, it believes that
[00:19:15] this objective must remain compatible with freedom of the
[00:19:20] information. The organization questions
[00:19:23] in particular the link established between the suspension of new
[00:19:27] authorizations and the fight against misinformation. It's a
[00:19:30] fine line between freedom of expression, the various sources
[00:19:33] of information, did we need, for example, to...
[00:19:37] suspend the creation of new
[00:19:41] sites, new information sites or new online media to combat
[00:19:44] ligne pour combattre
[00:19:46] the proliferation of fake
[00:19:48] pages on the internet, I don't think so, now the decision belongs to
[00:19:52] Hama and that's why I'm telling you that it's this somewhat unhealthy link that
[00:19:56] bothers us at the suspend and then we say that there's
[00:20:00] a proliferation of Facebook
[00:20:03] pages or other pages but Facebook
[00:20:06] pages? not media. AMED
[00:20:10] nevertheless remains open to dialogue and declares itself willing to
[00:20:13] accompany Hama in the search for a consensual regulatory
[00:20:17] framework. For its part, the regulatory authority
[00:20:20] insists on the temporary nature of this suspension. It announces
[00:20:24] the upcoming opening of consultations with sector
[00:20:27] stakeholders in order to define a new model of
[00:20:30] governance for online media.
[00:20:33] Several factories at a standstill in South Africa, a situation
[00:20:37] caused by the departure of many migrants after weeks of anti-foreign
[00:20:41] demonstrations, some positions are vacant,
[00:20:45] this is the case in Newcastle in the
[00:20:53] For weeks, this South African textile factory
[00:20:57] has been operating at reduced capacity, here entire rows of sewing machines
[00:21:01] have been abandoned since the departure of foreign
[00:21:04] workers. Most have fled the country following anti-migrant
[00:21:08] demonstrations and the factory director is now struggling to
[00:21:12] replace them.
[00:21:15] We cannot immediately replace this expertise with
[00:21:18] local workers. It takes time and we were not
[00:21:21] prepared.
[00:21:24] Since March, South Africa has been shaken by violent
[00:21:27] demonstrations and attacks against migrants. The organizers
[00:21:31] of these rallies accuse foreign workers of stealing jobs from
[00:21:34] native South Africans, and they see this as the cause of the country's
[00:21:38] economic difficulties. These acts of violence recently forced more than
[00:21:42] 16,000 foreign nationals to leave South
[00:21:45] Africa. In Newcastle, a textile industry
[00:21:49] hub located.
[00:22:20] For others, these jobs are simply not well
[00:22:23] paid enough, here workers are often paid per item
[00:22:27] produced and earn less than the South African
[00:22:30] minimum wage.
[00:22:33] Now we're going to talk about cinema, we're taking you to Rwanda, Kigali where
[00:22:37] the sector is booming, many cinemas have been
[00:22:40] rehabilitated, open-air festivals have been organized in recent
[00:22:44] weeks, and this is partly explained by the success at
[00:22:47] Cannes of a Rwandan feature film, Nimana, which
[00:22:50] won the Golden Camera, watch this report from Kigali by Aurore
[00:26:13] the Ark of Zoé erupts, the people who entrusted you with the
[00:26:16] children, they knew they were going to France, yes or no, no,
[00:26:19] a humanitarian couple claimed to offer a second chance to orphans from
[00:26:23] Darfur, children who for the most part resided in Chad with their
[00:26:27] family. They say: you sold your children, but who
[00:26:31] sells their child? It's because we were promised an education that we
[00:26:35] accepted,
[00:26:38] it was a child abduction, a real
[00:26:40] kidnapping, we heard many
[00:26:44] stories, we would have been taken to be exploited,
[00:26:46] maybe made to work in a factory,
[00:26:50] we were small, we didn't understand anything, 18
[00:26:53] years later, meeting with these fake orphans, they
[00:26:57] told us that each child would receive €6,000 in damages and interest, but for
[00:27:01] now nothing
[00:27:02] has been received,
[00:27:05] if the person acknowledges their mistakes and asks
[00:27:08] for forgiveness, then you know that they have
[00:27:10] evolved, but if that same person refuses
[00:27:14] to admit their wrongs, then you
[00:27:17] cannot forgive, return ticket, the scandal of the Ark of
[00:27:20] Zoé to watch on Franzone
[00:27:23] 4.
[00:29:10] in France, the worst performer in the European club
[00:29:14] when it comes to transforming European subsidies into
[00:29:17] growth, and we will observe this in two regions
[00:29:20] particularly in difficulty, Corsica due to its
[00:29:23] insularity, with its 36,000 inhabitants, who
[00:29:27] nevertheless have many projects in research
[00:29:30] on clementines, sea urchins and... many other
[00:29:33] sectors and here in Creuse, a rural
[00:29:36] French department that is depopulating, European aid
[00:29:40] is eagerly awaited to boost growth and employment,
[00:29:43] it is particularly directed towards the timber
[00:29:46] industry or also tourism and culture
[00:29:50] with here the valley of painters or the very beautiful
[00:29:53] Aubusson tapestry.
[00:29:56] in the four corners of Europe, presented by Caroline de Camaret, to
[00:29:59] watch on France 24.
[00:30:05] Back to the essentials on France 24, while UEFA
[00:30:08] maintains the boycott of the World Cups, despite the imminent project of
[00:30:12] Gianni Infantino to open FIFA to private investors, the
[00:30:15] African Confederation reaffirmed tonight unanimously its support for the
[00:30:19] the body.
[00:30:22] The Yemeni government is threatening reprisals after attacks carried out against
[00:30:25] Yemeni soldiers, there were 58 deaths, the rebels
[00:30:29] denounce Saudi Arabia's increased support for the forces.
[00:30:32] lamentable:
[00:30:35] two dead near Damascus, a bomb exploded in a bus in a town near the
[00:30:38] Syrian capital, correspondence to follow from Dana Alboze,
[00:30:56] the crisis at FIFA is not over, no matter the...
