[00:00:04] Thank you for joining us on France 24, we're together for another news update. Headlining this [00:00:07] broadcast, the escalation in Yemen, the [00:00:11] Houthis claim responsibility for the attack that killed at least 58 people among government forces [00:00:14] supported by Riyadh, it's the deadliest attack [00:00:18] since the 2022 truce. The [00:00:21] difficult fight against the Ebola epidemic in the DRC, [00:00:24] doctors and caregivers have been on the front line for almost 3 months now in [00:00:28] complicated conditions. And their salaries are paid late, [00:00:32] or not at all. Gianni Infantino, more isolated [00:00:36] than ever, despite the withdrawal of his project to open up to private funds, [00:00:40] the pressure is on, UEFA maintains its boycott of the World Cups [00:00:44] and the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), a former ally, is now [00:00:48] distancing itself. [00:00:50] these years of training to take [00:01:00] At least 58 soldiers killed in Yemen, the Houthis claim [00:01:04] responsibility for attacks against Yemeni government forces supported by Riyadh, [00:01:08] this is the deadliest toll since the 2022 [00:01:11] truce. The day before, the Houthis had attacked a [00:01:14] second oil tanker in the Red Sea, we'll take stock with Lohic [00:01:18] Chalavon. [00:01:21] After several attacks in the Red Sea against Saudi oil tankers, the [00:01:25] Houthis are now striking on land, a direct response [00:01:28] according to them to Saudi Arabia's increased support for [00:01:32] Yemeni government forces for several [00:01:34] weeks. [00:01:39] This operation allowed us to kill and wound many Saudi [00:01:42] mercenaries, to destroy and burn a large number of camps and [00:01:46] weapons depots of the Saudi enemy in the east of [00:01:48] the country. [00:01:51] As well as destroying a large number of military vehicles stationed in the [00:01:55] camps. [00:02:00] According to an anonymous military source, Houthi drones and missiles struck several military [00:02:04] camps in the province of Marib in the center of the country and [00:02:07] Hadramout near the border with [00:02:09] weight. The fundamental Saudi Arabia. This is the deadliest toll since 2022 [00:02:13] between the two sides. The Yemeni government announced that it would retaliate [00:02:16] at the appropriate time and place. Since [00:02:19] 2014, a proxy war has been raging in Yemen between Houthi rebels allied with [00:02:23] Iran and the Yemeni government supported by Riyadh and [00:02:26] Washington. In 2022, a fragile truce came [00:02:30] into force, but it broke down last month when the Houthis [00:02:34] welcomed an Iranian plane in Sanaa, violating the Saudi grip [00:02:37] on Yemeni airspace. The [00:02:40] Houthis then announced a naval blockade of Saudi ports and [00:02:43] began targeting the kingdom's oil tankers. [00:02:46] people who are disconnected from the world of kingdom. We warn the Saudi enemy [00:02:50] against any reckless action against our country and our [00:02:53] people. They will have to bear the consequences of any [00:02:57] escalation. [00:03:00] A senior Saudi official says several intelligence services confirm that [00:03:03] Iraqi militias are preparing attacks on Saudi territory in [00:03:07] coordination with Yemeni Houthis and under the direction of the [00:03:10] Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Saudi Arabia says it will take [00:03:14] necessary measures to respond to any aggression. [00:03:18] A few hours ago, another Houthi attack was carried out on Saudi [00:03:22] soil this time in the Najran region near the border with [00:03:25] Yemen, one civilian was injured. The degradation of the situation [00:03:28] is pushing Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey to [00:03:32] accelerate their mutual defense agreement. The heads of state of the three [00:03:36] countries are to meet today in Jeddah to sign it at the [00:03:40] summit. Discussions had already been initiated, but the worsening tensions [00:03:44] to express her gratitude to the caregivers at prompted the three countries to finalize it more [00:03:46] quickly. [00:03:50] In Syria, a bomb in a bus near Damascus killed two people in the [00:03:54] evening. The attack occurred in Jaramana, a predominantly Druze city, [00:03:57] scene of violent clashes last year. Details [00:04:01] from Dana Alboze, our correspondent in [00:04:04] Damascus. [00:04:07] deputy and former Minister of According to our latest report released by the Syrian Ministry of [00:04:10] Health, two people have died and 14 others have been [00:04:14] injured in an explosion that occurred this evening in Jaramana, in the [00:04:18] southeastern suburbs of Damascus. The explosion occurred in [00:04:22] the middle of Jaramana's main artery, a very busy [00:04:25] road, and targeted a small passenger shuttle bus which was [00:04:28] completely destroyed according to [00:04:31] our information. The injured were evacuated to [00:04:35] two hospitals in Damascus and Jaramana, and according to a local [00:04:38] source, most of the injuries are believed to be minor, but this [00:04:42] information remains preliminary and the death toll could [00:04:45] increase. The [00:04:47] return, in any case the arrival of authorities have established a security perimeter around the area, [00:04:50] and there was concern among the residents [00:04:54] of Jaramana. Jaramana is only a few kilometers [00:04:57] southeast of Damascus, the city also houses [00:05:01] a large Druze population, but also residents from [00:05:05] different communities. At this stage, no party [00:05:08] has officially [00:05:11] everywhere in the world and at all hours of claimed responsibility for this attack, and the authorities have not communicated about the exact [00:05:14] nature of this explosion, but of course, this [00:05:17] incident comes as Syria has experienced several explosions in [00:05:21] Damascus and its surroundings in recent [00:05:25] months and even weeks. I remind you that at the beginning of [00:05:28] July, during the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron, [00:05:32] two explosions occurred in Damascus. In these [00:05:36] different cases, explosive devices had been mentioned, and this new [00:05:39] explosion occurs [00:05:42] in a context, I can say, of security challenge for the new [00:05:46] Syrian authorities, Syrian authorities who must notably face [00:05:50] the persistence of attacks and security incidents [00:05:53] targeting urban [00:05:55] areas. Almost 3 months since the [00:05:59] start of the Ebola epidemic in the DRC, the World [00:06:03] Health Organization is calling for intensified response and better [00:06:06] protection for healthcare personnel. It must be said that doctors and [00:06:10] nurses on the front line are denouncing their working [00:06:13] conditions. Some have not been paid by the state since the beginning of the crisis, and this, [00:06:17] despite a strike in July, Noémie [00:06:19] Roche. [00:06:22] Every day, the same ritual, Wiza Bandelé [00:06:25] puts on his suit and disinfection equipment, before [00:06:29] tackling a house whose occupants died of the Ebola [00:06:32] virus. These gestures are essential [00:06:36] to hope to slow the spread of the virus which continues to [00:06:40] hit the country. For... Since the beginning of his [00:06:43] mission in mid-May, Wija has still not received [00:06:47] his salary. In July, he joined [00:06:50] other health agents to [00:06:51] strike. [00:06:54] We went on strike because we realized that we were working in dangerous [00:06:57] conditions and that we were giving a lot of ourselves. We evolve [00:07:01] in risky situations. It can happen that a [00:07:04] patient vomits blood, we then have to [00:07:07] clean up. [00:07:11] In July, the minister of health acknowledged payment [00:07:14] delays attributed to organizational problems, assuring that they [00:07:18] would be resolved. Since then, some of his colleagues have indeed [00:07:21] been paid, but only partially according to Wiza. He claims [00:07:25] to have received nothing yet and continues to work 7 [00:07:29] days a week, despite the risks to which he is [00:07:32] exposed. I could contract this [00:07:35] virus, and subsequently, contaminate my family and my [00:07:38] neighbors. So I realize that because of me, many [00:07:42] people could [00:07:43] die. Despite the [00:07:47] fear, [00:07:50] Wisa refuses to leave his post for now, guided by a sense of duty. A mission [00:07:53] all the more crucial as this epidemic has now surpassed that of [00:07:57] 2018 in terms of cases. According to the Congolese [00:08:00] authorities, more than 8370 cases have [00:08:03] been confirmed, including 1751 deaths [00:08:06] since the start of the epidemic in [00:08:08] May. [00:08:10] Wildfires in France with more than 13,500 fires or fire starts and [00:08:14] more than 100,000 hectares burned, this year 2026 broke the sad [00:08:18] record for burned surface area. Most of the time the cause of fires is [00:08:21] human, sometimes it is a poorly extinguished cigarette butt thrown [00:08:25] from a car window, and today the deputy and former Minister of [00:08:29] Health, Yannick Neder, believes that tobacco manufacturers should be made to [00:08:33] pay. A simple gesture, but [00:08:37] far from harmless, a cigarette [00:08:40] butt can be the cause of a fire [00:08:43] and ravage hundreds of hectares in a few hours. Hello [00:08:47] sir, where are you from? If one in five smokers admit to throwing their [00:08:51] cigarette butt out the window, this summer, the authorities have [00:08:54] multiplied surveillance operations. We come from a [00:08:58] region where it burns, so it's not bad [00:09:01] to make people aware anyway because right now [00:09:05] we're not laughing. It only takes a cigarette butt actually and it's perhaps not the number that makes the [00:09:08] danger, it's the act of doing it and uh, we must continue to [00:09:13] people then should cigarettes be taxed [00:09:16] even more, this is what the [00:09:19] Health, Yannick Neder, proposes, a tax that could bring in, according to [00:09:23] him, 350 million euros to finance fire [00:09:27] prevention, there were already behaviors that [00:09:31] sanction smokers who throw their cigarette butts, but [00:09:35] there was nothing at the level of tobacco manufacturers [00:09:38] on this fight against the environmental [00:09:40] impact in 2021, a simple cigarette butt [00:09:44] thrown on a highway rest area in the Var had caused the Gonfaron [00:09:48] megafire, 7,000 hectares went up in [00:09:51] smoke. New offensive by Donald [00:09:55] Trump against birthright citizenship, the American president has just [00:09:58] signed a decree to prevent birth [00:10:01] tourism. This involves foreign women traveling to the United States [00:10:05] to give birth so that their children obtain American [00:10:07] citizenship. A month ago, his previous decree challenging [00:10:11] birthright citizenship had been rejected by the Supreme [00:10:15] Court. [00:10:16] Listen: [00:10:20] The Supreme Court made a very regrettable decision regarding the acquisition of [00:10:24] citizenship by birth. The vote was close, but the decision is very [00:10:28] regrettable, so we are going to make adjustments because it is very [00:10:31] unfair. This rule was established for another reason, it was [00:10:35] just after the Civil War, it was for the children of slaves. However, [00:10:38] what is happening today is that wealthy people are doing business [00:10:42] around this birthright citizenship, it shouldn't work [00:10:45] like that, it's a disgrace, they are buying their access to [00:10:48] citizenship. [00:10:54] He had to backtrack, but nothing helps, the pressure [00:10:58] on Gianni Infantino does not let up, despite the apologies [00:11:01] from part of the FIFA management, UEFA maintains its boycott [00:11:05] of the World Cups, and for its part, CONMEBOL, which manages South American [00:11:09] football, is distancing itself from the methods of the [00:11:12] FIFA president, Nicolas [00:11:13] Chamontin. [00:11:16] The apologies from FIFA's leadership don't change anything, UEFA [00:11:20] assures that the boycott of the World Cups is still in effect. [00:11:24] The federations of UEFA have been very clear about the [00:11:27] conditions related to their non-participation in FIFA competitions, these [00:11:30] conditions have not been met. In addition to [00:11:33] abandoning the FIFA commercial company project decided [00:11:36] on Friday, the European football body is demanding assurances [00:11:40] that such an idea will never see the light of day. UEFA [00:11:43] reaffirms that it has lost confidence in Gianni Infantino. [00:11:47] Wednesday evening, the head of world football received the full support of his [00:11:51] leadership, gathered in Morocco for a crisis meeting. In a [00:11:55] statement, FIFA offered apologies after the controversy surrounding [00:11:59] the opening to private investors, a project that [00:12:02] leaked to the press, without the football stakeholders being [00:12:05] informed. This Thursday, the South American Confederation [00:12:09] CONMEBOL, although known to be close to Infantino, in turn [00:12:12] denounced the President's methods. The CONMEBOL [00:12:15] Council unanimously expresses its concern about [00:12:18] repeated unilateral actions, adopted without resorting [00:12:22] to dialogue or the institutional mechanisms provided for the handling [00:12:25] of this type of situation. Apparently unmovable a few [00:12:29] weeks ago, Gianni Infantino seems more vulnerable than [00:12:32] ever. The man who has led FIFA for a decade still [00:12:36] hopes to be re-elected next March thanks to the support of [00:12:39] many federations in Africa and the [00:12:41] Middle East. [00:12:44] And we end this news report with a very peculiar record: at almost [00:12:48] 100 years old, British Betty Bromed [00:12:51] is not afraid of anything, you will see it in Justin Wild's report. [00:12:56] With great ease, this [00:12:58] British woman sets a new world record, that of the oldest [00:13:02] woman to perform wingwalking on an airplane. [00:13:05] At 97 years old, this is Betty [00:13:08] Bromage, speeds of 240 km/h, [00:13:12] a strong heart and a certain thirst [00:13:14] for adrenaline. When you get old, you can't go here, you can't [00:13:18] do that, you can't drive, I can't see very [00:13:22] well and it frustrates me a bit, so I want to do things that I... [00:13:28] Dazzlingly brave, Betty Bromage [00:13:31] is not new to this, 4 years ago, she already [00:13:34] held the record, this new feat today [00:13:38] impresses her audience, she does wonderfully, I'm so proud [00:13:42] of her, it's incredible, I mean, she's visually impaired, almost [00:13:45] blind and she does all that, at her age, [00:13:49] it's just amazing. No and when every excuse seems good to [00:13:52] take on challenges, here she is celebrating her 90th [00:13:55] birthday with a dizzying [00:13:58] zip-line descent in Wales. [00:14:02] This week, it's something else that pushed her to surpass herself, [00:14:06] a gesture that was close to her heart, [00:14:09] the hospital who accompanied her during her stroke, the funds [00:14:13] raised will be [00:14:37] Hello everyone and welcome to this edition of "Current Affairs" [00:14:41] dedicated to fashion. Fashion show season is starting [00:14:45] and with it this question: where are the women? On the runways, we see [00:14:49] them, but behind the scenes, the men who run [00:14:52] the big fashion houses are much more numerous. Among the [00:14:56] new big names in fashion, only two women are emerging this season and more [00:14:59] than a dozen men are taking the artistic direction of these [00:15:03] companies. The time of illustrious female designers like [00:15:06] Coco Chanel, Madeleine Vionnet, Elsa Schiaparelli, Vivienne [00:15:10] Westwood or Sonia [00:15:13] us. Does a male designer do a different [00:15:16] job than a female designer? We'll talk about it with our [00:15:20] guest, hello Saveria Mandela, you are [00:15:23] a fashion journalist. Sad about the podcast "Les Gens de la Mode" thank you very much [00:15:27] for being with us and we're going to start with this question [00:15:31] about the regular musical chairs that take place in the fashion industry and particularly in haute [00:15:34] couture with these changes at the head of the directions. The artistic [00:15:38] directors of the big fashion houses, especially a certain [00:15:42] number of women who are being replaced more and more often by men, this is recently the case [00:15:45] with Maria Grazia Chiuri for Dior and then [00:15:49] with Virginie Viard at Chanel who were replaced respectively [00:15:53] by Jonathan Anderson and Matthieu Blazy. In [00:15:56] your opinion, why do these fashion groups seem [00:16:00] to prefer men? I believe it's a [00:16:03] broader systemic bias than [00:16:06] that. Not just fashion, it's because there are more of them, [00:16:10] perhaps they know how to make themselves more visible at certain moments in their careers [00:16:14] and so that impacts when we [00:16:17] reach a stage in our career in the career of artistic [00:16:20] director where we are famous and where we are hired for important [00:16:24] positions, all [00:16:28] up space in the public sphere and to be there at the right time, are then [00:16:31] reflected when it comes to choosing a [00:16:35] famous creative personality and... there are more men than women, I may [00:16:38] present myself as someone conservative through this, but [00:16:42] isn't it finally uh, wouldn't we imagine [00:16:45] that a woman would be more able to dress women, that she knows better what a woman's [00:16:49] life is like, what it's like to walk in heels, what it's like to run with errands, to go from one [00:16:53] place to another to pick up the children, because isn't it simply easier to have a woman to dress [00:16:57] women? Uh, there are contemporary artistic directors who [00:17:01] understand all these aspects very well, I'm thinking notably of Nicolas Di Felice at [00:17:05] Courrèges, but I you... totally [00:17:08] uh we may be conservative but well we experiment with clothing and it's true that [00:17:12] I as a client, maybe not as a fashion professional but in any case as a [00:17:15] client I find myself with much more pragmatic clothes when I buy from [00:17:19] female designers like Phoebe Philo or Victoria Beckham than when [00:17:23] I buy from brands managed by male designers [00:17:27] where it will be more about spectacular clothing but not [00:17:30] necessarily practical. Does that mean that for a woman to be at the head of a [00:17:34] fashion house, it has to be her own fashion house, that she has to [00:17:38] have created it? I find that currently yes, we are there, and more artistic [00:17:41] directors positioned in luxury houses, there are certainly still many female [00:17:45] artistic directors, they exist, they may be less visible but they exist, however what [00:17:49] is clear is that most of them are at the head of their own house, [00:17:53] for example the professional media Business of Fashion calculated [00:17:56] during Paris Fashion Week that out of the 10 most talked about [00:17:59] brands, only three are managed by women and these are the [00:18:03] three they founded themselves, Stella McCartney, Victoria Beckham and Miu Miu for [00:18:07] Prada, so there is this effect that we hear in feminist [00:18:10] speeches for years of ultimately when a woman has to do everything by [00:18:14] herself, do we see men artistic [00:18:17] directors more as business leaders rather than as [00:18:20] creators and women more as [00:18:24] industry and finance who do not see in terms of [00:18:28] brand growth I don't know uh [00:18:31] but that would be a huge mistake to see it that way given that [00:18:35] one, finally the... designer who sold the best these [00:18:39] last years, is Maria Grazia Chiuri at Dior, so to think that [00:18:42] women could not have both hats, would be a huge [00:18:45] mistake, uh is it possible to say fundamentally [00:18:48] that fashion and feminism are compatible terms, is it not fundamentally [00:18:52] contradictory? No, no, I believe it is fundamentally [00:18:56] compatible because clothing is a way of [00:18:59] controlling the message we send about ourselves. I suggest we [00:19:02] listen to Audrey Miyet, she is a historian, a fashion specialist, author of the [00:19:06] book "Noir de la Mode" on this subject. Feminism [00:19:09] has long seen fashion as an instrument of alienation, [00:19:13] the hypersexualization of women, the reduction [00:19:16] of their identity to their [00:19:18] appearance, and all the controversies we know about [00:19:22] anorexia and the standardization of bodies. [00:19:25] But fashion is also a tool of emancipation, a [00:19:28] way to assert oneself. It allows women to reaffirm their [00:19:32] identity, to show creativity, and it's a field [00:19:36] of expression in a way. For minorities, so it is possible to make them [00:19:39] dialogue, we are always a bit in ambivalence with fashion, yes, [00:19:43] but I think that's why today there is something for all tastes and that there is no longer a specific notion of [00:19:47] trend and that fashion has decided that to stop being [00:19:50] contradictory from one season to the next, it might be better if everyone does what [00:19:54] they want and that also goes through some designers who will love flat [00:19:57] or very thick but very [00:20:01] comfortable shoes like Nicolas Ghesquière at Louis Vuitton and other designers [00:20:04] who only swear by heels and at least today there is... for everyone where in the [00:20:08] past centuries indeed a fashion like that of the corset which was restrictive could [00:20:12] last for centuries, we have talked about female designers in [00:20:16] the industry and fashion, there are also therefore the clients and the models [00:20:19] and this trend of ultra thinness that we thought was over with the [00:20:25] body positivity of plus size models, Natacha Vesnic [00:20:29] and Olivia Salazwar Winspier were [00:20:31] interested in this phenomenon and its [00:20:34] limits. [00:20:37] Thinness is back on the runways, the latest Paris [00:20:41] fashion shows are proof of this. [00:20:43] However, plus-size models like Ashlegram have already [00:20:47] walked for Dolce Gabbana, Christian Siriano. or even [00:20:50] Michael Kors. The Frenchwoman Leslie Sidora [00:20:53] was recently the face of major ready-to-wear brands, but [00:20:57] today, body positivity, which advocates self-acceptance, [00:21:01] is becoming more and more discreet. According to [00:21:04] Vogue Business, 0.8% of the models at the [00:21:07] Spring/Summer 2025 Fashion Week were non-standard sizes, [00:21:10] a sharp decline compared to 5 years ago. Even confirmed [00:21:14] models are seeing their contracts melt away like snow in [00:21:17] the sun. The return of thinness on the [00:21:50] catwalks is also reflected among [00:21:54] celebrities and influencers. The latest [00:21:57] example is actress Lily Collins, photographed at the [00:22:00] Calvin Klein fashion show in New York, who was sharply [00:22:03] criticized on social media for her body, deemed too thin. [00:22:07] But paradoxically, on these same networks, a phenomenon called [00:22:10] "skinny talk" relays videos promoting extreme [00:22:13] diets, a phenomenon denounced by doctors and [00:22:16] parents who call on TikTok to better regulate its users. [00:22:20] While serious pathologies such as anorexia are not new, [00:22:24] the use of certain drugs used as appetite suppressants [00:22:28] worries some experts. They claim that drugs [00:22:31] like Ozempic, an antidiabetic diverted for weight [00:22:34] loss, have changed the game. Leading personalities [00:22:38] like Serena Williams even recommend its [00:22:40] use, as in this advertisement for a telehealth [00:22:44] company that markets Ozempic [00:22:47] analogues. Actress Rebel [00:22:50] Wilson, as well as TV host Oprah [00:22:54] Winfrey, have also admitted to using it to control their [00:22:59] question remains, that of appearance in an industry where [00:23:03] image is king and where body diversity still [00:23:06] doesn't seem to be the [00:23:12] priority. Savéria Mandela, at what point did it become desirable [00:23:15] to be extremely thin? From the 1990s onwards, [00:23:17] the models that we still remember, Claudia Schiffer, [00:23:21] Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell in the 1980s, were progressively [00:23:25] replaced in the early 90s by Kate Moss. Kate Moss was [00:23:28] a child when she was recruited, she was 14 years old and when she became very famous she [00:23:32] was at 16, then she does her first [00:23:36] Kelvin Kly campaign not quite 18, so she still has [00:23:39] children, except that her face is so captivating [00:23:42] because it appears in a youth magazine called The Face that from then on, the [00:23:46] modeling bookers, i.e. the model headhunters, will [00:23:50] look for the same type of very androgynous physique because they are not yet [00:23:53] formed, unknown to the general public, very [00:23:56] childish, and so we will go to Eastern European countries [00:24:00] to recruit thinner girls with finer and softer features [00:24:04] than those from Central Europe and so on, and so [00:24:07] little by little, a consented thinness [00:24:11] arrives in the fashion world. Personally, it doesn't make me want to when I see [00:24:15] clothes. I want to feel like the person has eaten for [00:24:18] 15 days beforehand, but that's perhaps my personal [00:24:21] opinion. Let's finish this show on a positive note [00:24:25] anyway. What are the female talents you've spotted that [00:24:29] you think will be the big names of tomorrow? Look at New York [00:24:32] Fashion Week. There are many designers who have launched their brands and who [00:24:35] are now showing. I'm thinking particularly of Katherine Olstein, who founded [00:24:39] the Kate brand, and she is a true businesswoman, which she embodies [00:24:43] in her clothes, by the way, but in addition to being an excellent designer, [00:24:46] and then Simone Rocha is very [00:24:50] romantic, very rococo, but she is excellent. Well, thank you very much for [00:24:54] these names. We will keep an eye on these promising people, and thank you, [00:24:58] Saveria Mendela, for coming to talk to us about this increasingly [00:25:17] 40 years about the famine. [00:25:20] I think the show far surpasses the book. [00:25:24] It's a tragedy that must be remembered, that must be [00:25:27] talked about to raise a free generation. We cannot [00:25:30] be free when our life depends on a piece of [00:25:32] bread. [00:25:35] Return ticket on the great famine of [00:25:37] Moldova. [00:25:41] To understand the world, you have to live at the heart of [00:25:44] events, from Jakarta to Beirut, passing through [00:25:47] Kinshasa, Kiev or Washington. The [00:25:51] correspondents of France 24 are everywhere, or the right [00:25:54] 200 correspondents who live near you. Their [00:25:58] mission is to inform you [00:26:01] the day. [00:26:04] Objective, serious, reliable, [00:26:07] independent information, verified facts, fake news [00:26:10] unmasked, France 24, we are [00:26:13] here, we are there and there to inform you. [00:30:05] We meet again for a new update on the news, headlining this newscast, the escalation in [00:30:09] Yemen, the Houthis have claimed responsibility for the attack which killed at least [00:30:13] 58 among the governmental forces supported by [00:30:15] Riyadh. This is the deadliest attack since the 2022 [00:30:19] truce. In Syria, a bomb on a bus near Damascus [00:30:22] killed two people in the evening, the attack occurred in Jaramana, [00:30:26] a city with a Druze majority, no claim of [00:30:30] responsibility has been made for the moment. And [00:30:33] then Gianni Infantino, more isolated than ever, despite the [00:30:36] withdrawal of his project to open up to private funds, the noose is [00:30:40] tightening, UEFA maintains its boycott of the World Cups and [00:30:44] the South American Football Confederation is now distancing itself.
