[00:00:00] News,
[00:00:06] good evening everyone and welcome if you are joining us on France 24, tonight's
[00:00:10] top story is this new escalation in Yemen, the Houthis
[00:00:13] claim responsibility for the attack that killed at least 58 people among the governmental
[00:00:16] forces supported by Riyadh. It is the deadliest
[00:00:19] attack since the 2022 truce. In
[00:00:22] Syria, a bomb on a bus near Damascus killed two people tonight, the attack occurred
[00:00:26] in Jaramana, a city with a Russian majority. No
[00:00:30] claim of responsibility has been made so far. Also
[00:00:33] in the news, an exceptional report filmed in
[00:00:36] Havana, Cuba, close to the inhabitants, between the
[00:00:40] energy crisis and the collapse of the economy, their daily life is punctuated by hardship.
[00:00:51] authorizations and the fight against
[00:00:56] In Aude, the fire started from At least 58 soldiers killed in
[00:00:58] Yemen, the Houthis claim responsibility for the attacks against the Yemeni
[00:01:03] This is the end of this Africa news bulletin. Thank you for governmental forces supported by Saudi Arabia. This is the deadliest toll since the 2022
[00:01:06] ceasefire. The day before, the Houthis had attacked a second
[00:01:10] oil tanker in the Red Sea. The latest details from
[00:01:12] Loïc Salavon:
[00:01:16] After several attacks in the Red Sea against Saudi oil tankers, the
[00:01:19] Houthis are striking this time on dry land, a direct
[00:01:23] response according to them to Saudi Arabia's increased support for
[00:01:26] Yemeni governmental forces for several weeks.
[00:01:34] This operation allowed us to kill and injure many Saudi
[00:01:37] mercenaries, to destroy and burn a large number of camps and
[00:01:40] weapons depots of the Saudi enemy in the east of
[00:01:43] the country,
[00:01:46] as well as to destroy a large number of military vehicles stationed in the
[00:01:50] camps.
[00:01:54] According to an anonymous military source, Houthi drones and missiles struck several
[00:01:58] military camps in the province of Marib in the center of the country and
[00:02:02] Hadramawt near the border with Saudi Arabia. This
[00:02:06] is the deadliest toll since 2022 between the two sides.
[00:02:09] Since 2014, a proxy war has been taking place in Yemen between the Houthi rebels
[00:02:13] allied with Iran and the Yemeni government supported by Riyadh and
[00:02:16] Washington. In 2022, a fragile truce came
[00:02:20] into effect, but it broke down last month when the Houthis
[00:02:24] welcomed an Iranian plane in Sanaa, violating the Saudi
[00:02:27] stranglehold on Yemeni airspace. The
[00:02:30] Houthis then announced a naval blockade of Saudi ports and
[00:02:34] began targeting the kingdom's
[00:02:36] oil tankers.
[00:02:39] We warn the Saudi enemy against any reckless action
[00:02:43] against our country and our people. It will have to bear the
[00:02:47] consequences of any escalation.
[00:02:51] Saudi Arabia has not yet reacted to this new
[00:02:54] attack. The Yemeni government, recognized by the international
[00:02:57] community, has announced that it will retaliate at the right
[00:03:01] time and place. And we have just learned that another Houthi attack
[00:03:04] has just been perpetrated on Saudi soil in the Najran
[00:03:08] region, close to the border with Yemen. 11 civilians were
[00:03:12] injured. In Syria, a bomb on a bus near
[00:03:15] Damascus killed two people in the
[00:03:17] the former Beninese head of state evening. The attack occurred in
[00:03:19] has fled. Since then, businesses Jaramana, a city with a majority of Russians and which had already been last
[00:03:23] year the scene of violent clashes. The details from Dana
[00:03:26] Alboz, our correspondent in Damascus.
[00:03:30] According to our latest report released by the Syrian Ministry of
[00:03:33] Health, two people have died and 14 others have been
[00:03:37] injured in an explosion that occurred this evening in Jaramana in the
[00:03:41] southeastern suburb of Damascus. The explosion occurred in
[00:03:45] the middle of Jaramana's main artery, a very busy
[00:03:48] road. It targeted a small passenger shuttle
[00:03:52] which was completely destroyed according to
[00:03:55] our information. The injured were evacuated to
[00:03:58] two hospitals in Adham and Jaramana, and according to a
[00:04:02] local source, most of the injuries are minor, but
[00:04:05] this information remains preliminary and the death toll
[00:04:08] could increase. The authorities have established a
[00:04:11] security perimeter around the area and there is
[00:04:15] concern among the inhabitants of Jaramana. Jaramana is
[00:04:19] located only a few kilometers southeast of Damascus, the city
[00:04:23] also harbors a large Russian population,
[00:04:28] WHO chief to the Democratic Republic but also inhabitants from different communities.
[00:04:30] At this stage, no party has officially
[00:04:33] claimed responsibility for this attack, nor have the authorities
[00:04:36] crisis and the collapse of the communicated the exact nature of this
[00:04:39] explosion, but of course, this incident comes as Syria has
[00:04:42] experienced several explosions in Damascus, and in
[00:04:46] its surroundings, in recent months and even recent
[00:04:50] weeks. I recall that at the beginning of July, during the visit of French
[00:04:54] President Emmanuel Macron, two explosions occurred
[00:04:58] in Damascus, in these different...
[00:05:00] explosive devices had been mentioned, and this
[00:05:04] new explosion occurs
[00:05:06] requests for the creation of online in a context, I can say, of security challenges for the new
[00:05:09] Syrian authorities, Syrian authorities who must...
[00:05:12] notably face the persistence of attacks and
[00:05:15] security incidents targeting urban
[00:05:19] areas. Also in the news is this new
[00:05:22] fire affecting the Corbières massif in France. It broke out
[00:05:26] in the commune of Montseré in the afternoon. The rapid
[00:05:29] intervention of 250 firefighters assisted by four Canadairs allowed
[00:05:32] it to be contained this evening. We take stock with Alexandre
[00:05:35] Halet.
[00:05:38] The flames are spreading at a scorching pace.
[00:05:42] propelled by the Tramontana at 30 km/h,
[00:05:45] the fire devours the vegetation.
[00:05:49] Facing the blaze, 250 firefighters deployed
[00:05:53] along this limestone massif.
[00:05:56] In reinforcement quickly, 10 aerial means including two
[00:05:59] Dash, four Canadairs and one water bombing
[00:06:03] helicopter.
[00:06:08] the commune of Montseré, it is heading towards Saint-André-de-
[00:06:12] Clongue and threatens the houses.
[00:06:16] 1200 people are now confined in these two
[00:06:18] communes, including a man we reached by phone
[00:06:22] and who is filming these images. The fire is a few hundred
[00:06:26] meters from his home. So how will the night be? I think it's going to be
[00:06:29] a sleepless night and we're going to prepare all our belongings just in case. So
[00:06:33] for now, well, we don't really know what it's going to
[00:06:36] do. The concern in this village of
[00:06:39] 1500 inhabitants. Everyone is watching the progression
[00:06:42] of the flames. I was called by the
[00:06:45] family and they told me that the rock was burning and
[00:06:49] well, being from the village, I rushed back from work and
[00:06:53] worried, well, the rock stretches along the landscape near the
[00:06:56] village. These images reach us from the first
[00:07:00] burnt landscapes, and it's always heartbreaking because
[00:07:02] obviously nature going up in smoke is
[00:07:06] always quite traumatic. A
[00:07:09] vehicle that caught fire after a road accident... is said to be the cause of this
[00:07:13] fire. The vines in the path of the fire
[00:07:17] could act as a firebreak.
[00:07:20] He may have reversed course, but the pressure on Gianni Infantino is not
[00:07:24] subsiding. Despite the apologies, part of the FIFA
[00:07:27] board, UEFA is maintaining its boycott of the World Cups. For its part, Conmebol,
[00:07:31] which manages South American football, is
[00:07:34] disassociating itself from the methods of the FIFA president. We take stock with Nicolas
[00:07:38] Chamontin.
[00:07:41] The apologies from the FIFA leadership are doing nothing. UEFA
[00:07:45] assures that the boycott of the World Cups is still in effect. The
[00:07:49] member federations of UEFA have been very clear about the conditions related
[00:07:53] to their non-participation in FIFA competitions. These conditions have not been
[00:07:56] met. In addition to the abandonment of FIFA's commercial
[00:08:00] company project decided on Friday, the European football
[00:08:03] body is demanding assurances that such an idea will never see the
[00:08:07] light of day. UEFA reaffirms having lost confidence
[00:08:10] in Gianni Infantino. On Wednesday evening, the head of world football
[00:08:14] received the full support of his management, gathered in Morocco for a
[00:08:18] crisis meeting. In a statement, FIFA
[00:08:21] apologized after the controversy over the opening to
[00:08:24] private investors, a project that leaked to the press without
[00:08:28] the football stakeholders being informed. This Thursday, the
[00:08:32] South American confederation Conmebol, although reputed to be close
[00:08:35] to Infantino, in turn denounced the president's
[00:08:38] methods. The Conmebol council unanimously expresses
[00:08:42] its... concern over repeated unilateral actions,
[00:08:45] adopted without resorting to dialogue or the institutional mechanism provided
[00:08:49] for the handling of this type of situation.
[00:08:52] Seemingly unmovable a few weeks ago, Gianni Infantino seems
[00:08:56] more fragile than ever. The man who has led
[00:08:59] FIFA for a decade still hopes to be re-elected next
[00:09:02] March, thanks to the support of many federations in Africa and the
[00:09:06] Middle East. And now this exceptional
[00:09:10] report, filmed in Havana, Cuba, where the daily
[00:09:13] life of the population is a real ordeal, the
[00:09:17] energy crisis is compounded by an unprecedented economic collapse,
[00:09:20] while Washington multiplies sanctions between
[00:09:23] American pressure and internal crisis, Cubans try to
[00:09:27] hold on day after
[00:09:28] day.
[00:09:32] I'm braiding my child's hair, you don't want cheap braids? How are you,
[00:09:35] family?
[00:09:37] Tania is a teacher, like
[00:09:40] many... There's no more tourism, everything is
[00:10:01] empty, no clients, no one left to
[00:10:04] style. Look at this empty hotel, not a single client
[00:10:08] coming out, it hurts. In January, Washington tightened its energy
[00:10:11] blockade, followed by new sanctions against companies operating
[00:10:15] in Cuba. Since then, the terraces of Havana have emptied of
[00:10:19] their clients. The fall in tourism, one of the main
[00:10:22] sources of income for the country, affects the entire
[00:10:26] economy. The country
[00:10:29] is unrecognizable and the hotel does
[00:10:32] not earn enough money to be able
[00:10:35] to pay the artists.
[00:10:37] It is the entire island that is
[00:10:41] asphyxiated. In the markets, local products are not
[00:10:44] lacking, but due to a lack of gasoline, the cost of their transport increases,
[00:10:47] prices climb due to already chronic
[00:10:51] inflation. tempers flare, the
[00:11:25] Cubans are tired.
[00:11:28] Civil servants like Tania, the teacher who braids hair in the
[00:11:32] center, earn a paltry income.
[00:11:36] I earn 6 dollars a month, and that's
[00:11:38] really not enough, I have to buy everything, clothes, shoes,
[00:11:42] and if I think about shoes for the children, I can forget about
[00:11:45] food. The absence of electricity aggravates
[00:11:49] already precarious living conditions, only one
[00:11:52] hour of... electricity per day, often
[00:11:56] less. There's nothing in it, if there was anything it would have
[00:11:59] already rotted. With all these hours without electricity, what we buy is day
[00:12:03] to day. Despite a recent opening, Cuba
[00:12:07] seems frozen in time. The inhabitants sell what they
[00:12:10] can, and in the private shops now authorized, basic
[00:12:14] products are a luxury. This is a
[00:12:17] butcher shop where people do their shopping, a private butcher shop. 7
[00:12:21] dollars for a bag of chicken, more than my salary.
[00:12:25] Suddenly, a woman intervenes, you need
[00:12:28] authorization to be able to do that. The committees for
[00:12:31] the defense of the revolution are still there, but they are less active,
[00:12:35] worn out by the crisis. Tania, for her part, has nothing to
[00:12:38] reproach herself for.
[00:12:42] I love my island, I am a revolutionary, and even if I have nothing
[00:12:45] to eat, I love our commander Fidel Castro. When he
[00:12:48] died, I cried.
[00:12:52] Between political pressure and economic collapse, Cubans survive
[00:12:56] day by day, without seeing the end of the
[00:12:59] road.
[00:13:01] And we end this newscast with a very particular record: at almost 100 years old,
[00:13:05] British woman Betsy Bromedj is not afraid of anything. Justine Wail
[00:13:09] met her. Completely
[00:13:12] relaxed, this British woman set a new world
[00:13:16] record, that of the oldest woman to wingwalk
[00:13:20] standing on the wings of a plane. At
[00:13:23] 97 years old, here is Betty.
[00:13:25] Speed peaks at 240 km/h, a strong
[00:13:29] heart and a certain thirst for adrenaline.
[00:13:33] When you get old, you can't go here, you can't do that, you can't
[00:13:36] drive. I don't see very well and it frustrates me a bit, so I
[00:13:40] want to do things I'm still
[00:13:41] capable of. Stunningly
[00:13:45] courageous, Betty Bromage is no stranger to such feats.
[00:13:49] 4 years ago she was already the record holder. This
[00:13:52] new achievement today impressed
[00:13:55] her audience. She's doing wonderfully, I'm so proud
[00:13:58] of her, it's incredible. I mean, she's visually impaired, almost
[00:14:01] blind, and she's doing all this at her age.
[00:14:05] It's just amazing, isn't it? And when any excuse seems good enough
[00:14:08] to take on challenges, here she is
[00:14:11] celebrating her 90th birthday with a dizzying zip-line descent
[00:14:15] in Wales. This week, it was something else
[00:14:18] that pushed her to outdo herself, a gesture that was
[00:14:21] close to her heart: to express her gratitude to the caregivers at the hospital who
[00:14:25] accompanied her during her stroke. The funds raised will be
[00:14:28] donated to them. Continuous information on France 24,
[00:14:32] stay with us, we'll be back in a few minutes.
[00:14:36] Good evening everyone, welcome to France 24, we'll be
[00:14:43] together for about ten minutes for the Africa news, we'll start with the
[00:14:47] headlines of this edition. We'll first discuss the visit of the
[00:14:53] of Congo, he says he wants to intensify the response against
[00:14:56] Ebola and better protect health personnel, while in the country many
[00:15:00] doctors say they have not received a salary in recent
[00:15:04] months. Textile factories may have
[00:15:07] to close in South Africa, many positions are vacant
[00:15:11] since the departure of migrants at the end of June, driven by
[00:15:14] anti-foreigner demonstrations, since then it has been difficult to find
[00:15:18] labor.
[00:15:20] And then we'll go to Rwanda where cinema
[00:15:22] has gained popularity in recent months since the Golden Camera obtained in
[00:15:26] Cannes by the feature film Benimana, Rwandans are
[00:15:29] rushing to cinemas and open-air
[00:15:33] festivals.
[00:15:33] We need to intensify the response
[00:15:38] against Ebola, this is what the head of the World Health Organization declared
[00:15:42] earlier. He has been visiting the Democratic Republic
[00:15:46] of Congo since yesterday. Since May 15, more than 3900
[00:15:49] cases have been registered in the country, among which 1801
[00:15:53] deaths. Earlier, a suspected case was reported on a boat heading
[00:15:56] to Kinshasa. The man died with symptoms
[00:16:00] corresponding to those of the Ebola virus. We will listen to the Director-
[00:16:04] General of the WHO. I think one of
[00:16:11] the particularities of this epidemic lies
[00:16:13] in its unprecedented speed,
[00:16:17] it is spreading really, really
[00:16:19] very quickly,
[00:16:21] and I'm not going to hide what I feel, I am
[00:16:25] deeply very concerned by the situation
[00:16:29] on the ground.
[00:16:31] Of course, the epidemic, but as our report says,
[00:16:35] 5 other provinces are already affected.
[00:16:38] The head of the WHO also calls
[00:16:44] for better protection of health personnel and
[00:16:47] precisely, on the front line, doctors and nurses denounce
[00:16:50] their working conditions. They say they have not been paid
[00:16:54] since the beginning of the crisis despite a strike in July. The story by
[00:16:57] Noémie Roche:
[00:16:59] Every day, the same
[00:17:03] ritual, Wiza Bandelé puts on his suit and
[00:17:06] his disinfection
[00:17:08] equipment before tackling a house whose
[00:17:11] occupants died of the Ebola virus, essential
[00:17:15] actions to hope to slow the spread of the
[00:17:19] virus that continues to strike the country.
[00:17:22] However, since the beginning of his mission in mid-May, Wiza has
[00:17:26] still not received any salary. In
[00:17:29] July, he joined other health workers to go on
[00:17:32] strike. We went on strike because we
[00:17:36] observed dangerous conditions and that we
[00:17:39] were giving a lot of ourselves. We operate in risky situations, it can happen
[00:17:43] that a patient vomits blood, we then have to
[00:17:47] clean up.
[00:17:47] In July, the Congolese Minister of
[00:17:51] Health acknowledged payment delays attributed to organizational
[00:17:55] problems, assuring that they would be resolved.
[00:17:58] Since then, some of his colleagues have indeed been paid, but only partially
[00:18:02] according to Wiza. He claims to have still received nothing.
[00:18:05] And yet he continues to work 7
[00:18:08] days a week despite the risks to which he is
[00:18:11] exposed. I could contract this virus, and subsequently,
[00:18:15] contaminate my family and my neighbors. I
[00:18:19] therefore realize that because of me, many people could
[00:18:23] die.
[00:18:24] Despite the fear, Wiza refuses
[00:18:27] to leave his post for now, guided by a sense
[00:18:30] of duty. A mission all the more crucial as this epidemic has
[00:18:34] now surpassed 2018 in terms of cases,
[00:18:38] according to Congolese authorities, more than 8370 cases have
[00:18:42] been confirmed, including 1751 deaths
[00:18:45] since the beginning of the epidemic in May.
[00:18:49] 2 months after leaving power, Patrice Talon returns to the forefront,
[00:18:55] was elected president of the Senate, a 5-year term
[00:18:58] that makes him today the third most important figure in the country
[00:19:02] after the president and the vice-president of the Republic.
[00:19:05] Is this a sign that Senegal
[00:19:10] is recovering? In any case, the World Bank has decided to grant it
[00:19:13] financing of 340 billion CFA francs. The
[00:19:17] country was almost blacklisted by international partners since
[00:19:21] the crisis with the International Monetary Fund over the hidden
[00:19:24] debt story. Details from our correspondent in Dakar
[00:19:28] Elimandao. This overall financing of
[00:19:32] 340 billion CFA francs is intended for
[00:19:35] several sectors such as agriculture, energy
[00:19:38] and transport. This announcement was made during an
[00:19:42] audience granted by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye to
[00:19:46] the Vice-President of the World Bank Ousmane Diagana. The
[00:19:49] World Bank has above all decided on direct budgetary
[00:19:52] support to the State of Senegal, budgetary
[00:19:55] support that is welcome in a difficult economic context. Senegal
[00:19:59] which has been experiencing several months of crisis and
[00:20:02] tension over its public finances linked notably
[00:20:06] to debt service that the country has decided to honor as
[00:20:10] best it can. This announcement of new World Bank financing
[00:20:13] is a positive signal according to government officials,
[00:20:17] a positive signal towards more favorable economic
[00:20:19] tomorrows. Senegal is aiming notably for an agreement with the International
[00:20:23] Monetary Fund on a new program to revive its
[00:20:26] credibility on the international market and attract more
[00:20:30] new investors.
[00:20:32] A decision that is causing a lot of talk in Chad, that of the High
[00:20:36] Authority for Media and
[00:20:39] Audiovisual which suspends until further notice, the examination of
[00:20:44] newspapers. The regulator states that it wants to better regulate this
[00:20:47] rapidly expanding sector and thus combat disinformation.
[00:20:51] Listen to our correspondent in N'Djamena, Ghislaine
[00:20:54] Annatarum. It's a decision that challenges
[00:20:58] media stakeholders. The High Authority for Media and Audiovisual
[00:21:02] is freezing the examination of applications for the creation of new online
[00:21:05] newspapers. The measure is part of the regulator's strategic plan
[00:21:09] 2026-2028, with the ambition of cleaning up the
[00:21:12] sector and better responding to the informational abuses
[00:21:16] observed on digital platforms. While the
[00:21:20] Association of Online Media of Chad (AMOT) understands the need for better
[00:21:24] regulation, it believes that this objective must
[00:21:28] remain compatible with freedom of the press and the
[00:21:32] pluralism of information.
[00:21:35] The organization questions notably the link established
[00:21:38] between the suspension of new misinformation. It's a fine
[00:21:42] line between freedom of expression, the differences of various
[00:21:46] sources of information, did we need, for example, to
[00:21:50] suspend the creation of new
[00:21:53] sites, new information sites or new online media
[00:21:56] to combat
[00:22:00] the proliferation of fake pages on the
[00:22:04] internet? I don't think so. Now the decision belongs to the HAMAMA and that's why I'm
[00:22:06] telling you that it's this somewhat unhealthy
[00:22:09] link that bothers us at the question level. We suspend and then we
[00:22:12] say there's a proliferation of
[00:22:16] Facebook pages or other pages, but Facebook pages are
[00:22:20] not media. The HAMAMA
[00:22:23] nevertheless stated that it remains open to dialogue and declares
[00:22:26] itself willing to accompany the HAMAMA in the search
[00:22:29] for a consensual regulatory framework. For its part,
[00:22:33] the regulatory authority insists on the provisional
[00:22:36] nature of this suspension. It announces the upcoming
[00:22:40] opening of consultations with stakeholders in the sector in
[00:22:43] order to define a new governance model for online
[00:22:46] media. Several factories shut down in South
[00:22:50] Africa, a situation caused by the departure of many
[00:22:53] migrants after weeks of anti-foreigner
[00:22:56] demonstrations. Some positions are vacant, this is the case
[00:23:00] in Newcastle in the northwest of the country. More details with Laurent
[00:23:03] Berstecher. For weeks, this South African
[00:23:06] textile factory has been operating at a reduced
[00:23:10] pace.
[00:23:14] Here, entire rows of sewing machines are left abandoned
[00:23:18] since the departure of foreign workers. Most
[00:23:22] have fled the country following anti-migrant demonstrations,
[00:23:25] and the factory director is now struggling to replace
[00:23:29] them. We cannot immediately
[00:23:31] replace this expertise with local workers, it takes
[00:23:33] time and we were not
[00:23:36] prepared. Since March, South Africa has been
[00:23:39] shaken by violent demonstrations and attacks
[00:23:42] against migrants. The organizers
[00:23:45] of these gatherings accuse foreign workers of stealing jobs
[00:23:48] from native South Africans and see them as the cause of the country's
[00:23:52] economic difficulties. These violences recently forced more than
[00:23:55] 16,000 foreign nationals to leave South
[00:23:59] Africa. In Newcastle, a textile
[00:24:03] industry hub located in the KwaZulu Natal province,
[00:24:06] approximately 15% of the workforce
[00:24:09] have been struggling to convince skilled workers to join this
[00:24:13] demanding sector.
[00:24:17] I think young South Africans prefer to look for more
[00:24:21] comfortable jobs. They want to be nurses or cashiers because
[00:24:24] the textile industry is very tough. You sit on this
[00:24:28] bench for about 9 hours a day, this
[00:24:31] l'industrie du textile est très rude. Vous êtes assis sur ce
[00:24:35] is not an
[00:24:38] easy job.
[00:24:41] For others, these jobs are simply not paid
[00:24:44] enough. Here, workers are often paid per item
[00:24:48] produced and earn less than the South African
[00:24:51] minimum wage.
[00:24:54] We're now going to talk about cinema. We're taking you to Rwanda, Kigali,
[00:24:58] where the sector is in full swing. Many dark
[00:25:01] rooms have been renovated, open-air festivals have been organized
[00:25:05] in recent weeks, and this is partly due to the
[00:25:08] success in Cannes of a Rwandan feature film, Ben Imana, which
[00:25:11] won the Camera d'Or. Watch this report from Kigali by Aurore
[00:25:15] Baylou.
[00:25:18] In the streets of Nyamirambo, the...
[00:25:25] film in Rwanda, due to a lack of a real industry, cinema has long
[00:25:28] been invented by the sole force of its directors. There is something
[00:25:31] specific for filmmakers
[00:25:34] here. I don't know if it's because
[00:25:38] it's a small country or a small city, but it has a sense
[00:25:41] of community. We had common problems,
[00:25:45] so we helped each other
[00:25:49] and the...
[00:26:02] had to pay in activity and the heart of a film club. We
[00:26:06] believe that films are not just there to entertain; they also have depth,
[00:26:10] they transmit many things, and today, in an era where we are constantly bombarded with
[00:26:13] content and people spend their time scrolling through images on their
[00:26:17] phones, we don't want what we offer to be reduced to "let's watch
[00:26:20] a few images." There's a real selection behind our programming. Further on,
[00:26:24] on the esplanade of Imbuga City Walk, a giant screen hosts the
[00:26:28] open-air screenings of the Kigalicine Junction festival, which is celebrating
[00:26:32] its 4th
[00:27:05] watching. Stay with us on France
[00:27:07] 24.
[00:27:16] Every year, Thailand organizes a unique event in the world: the
[00:27:19] terrible military service lottery.
[00:28:03] Reporter, an award-winning program on five
[00:28:06] continents to watch on France 24.
[00:30:04] Good evening everyone and welcome if you are joining us on France 24. Tonight's
[00:30:08] top story: this new escalation in Yemen. The Houthi
[00:30:11] claim responsibility for the attack that killed at least 58 people among the governmental
[00:30:14] forces supported by Riyadh. It is the deadliest
[00:30:17] attack since the 2022 truce. In
[00:30:20] Syria, a bomb in a bus near Damascus killed two people tonight. The attack
[00:30:24] occurred in Jaramana, a city with a Russian majority. No
[00:30:28] claim of responsibility has been made for the moment. Also

[00:30:34] Havana, Cuba, close to the inhabitants, between the energy
[00:30:39] economy, their daily lives, to kill the evidence.
[00:30:53] At least 58 soldiers killed in Yemen. The Houthi claim
[00:30:57] attacks against government forces.
