[00:00:00] to Sunday in the Journal of Africa on France
[00:00:02] 24.
[00:00:08] Thank you for being with us on France 24, we are together to take stock
[00:00:11] of the news and in this
[00:00:14] newspaper we will talk about Abellardo de la Espriella,
[00:00:17] new president of Colombia who will be sworn in soon,
[00:00:21] the ceremony will take place in Cali, the third largest city in the country and not
[00:00:25] Bogotta, an ally of Donald Trump, he makes the fight against
[00:00:28] drug trafficking a priority: the shock in
[00:00:32] Thailand after the deadly shooting in a high school near Bangkok, a
[00:00:35] 14-year-old teenager killed his grandparents, then five members
[00:00:39] of the staff of the establishment before committing suicide,
[00:00:43] an act that had been planned according to the authorities, and then
[00:00:47] Spain's ultimatum to Italy, Madrid
[00:00:49] Madrid demands from Rome a rapid lifting of controls concerning its
[00:00:52] nationals after the migratory crisis of Seuta, Italy
[00:00:56] had decided to re-establish them for Spaniards and does not intend to return.
[00:01:00] to that before next week,
[00:01:16] Colombia moves from the left to the far right with Abellardo de
[00:01:19] la Espriella, the new president elected last June
[00:01:23] 21, he is officially sworn in shortly, not in
[00:01:27] Bogotta but in Cali, the third largest city in the country, a whole... symbol since it is
[00:01:31] which constantly hovers over the young people of one of the strongholds of armed groups involved in
[00:01:35] you are, and if you're interested in drug trafficking.
[00:01:39] patrols everywhere in Cali, 3rd city of
[00:01:42] Colombia, it is here under high security that the
[00:01:45] inauguration of the new elected far-right president,
[00:01:47] I was depressed, especially about my attention Abelardo de la Espriella, takes place.
[00:01:51] more than 1100 men and women have been deployed here with
[00:01:54] drones, anti-drone systems, armored
[00:01:58] estimated that more than 1100 unaccompanied vehicles and everything necessary for... a democratic event to take place peacefully.
[00:02:02] ordinarily, this inauguration of the
[00:02:05] Colombian president takes place in the
[00:02:09] Ministry of capital, Bogota, but not with Abelardo de la Espriella. The millionaire
[00:02:12] lawyer, a political novice, chose Cali where attacks
[00:02:16] claimed by guerrillas recently took place, a symbol, because the
[00:02:19] new president promises a strong approach to fight against these armed groups and
[00:02:23] drug trafficking, bombings against the camps of these
[00:02:26] organizations or even the creation of mega prisons. like in
[00:02:30] El Salvador, a program hammered home since his election last
[00:02:34] June and contrary to his left-wing predecessor Gustavo
[00:02:37] Petro who had tried to negotiate the disarmament of these armed
[00:02:40] groups. There will be no false peace process, the only possible
[00:02:44] peace is that imposed by arms. Any bandit who does not submit will be
[00:02:48] we know the strength of eliminated. I warned you. For this,
[00:02:51] Colombia can count on the support of the United States and Israel, whose
[00:02:55] representatives will be present at the
[00:02:57] indicates that it maintains the suspension of inauguration ceremony. But these very strong statements
[00:03:00] also worry part of the
[00:03:02] population,
[00:03:04] according to his announcements, we can clearly see that he will be a rather
[00:03:08] authoritarian leader,
[00:03:11] I just hope there will be no violence, new violence within the
[00:03:14] population,
[00:03:17] a challenge, because according to the Idea for Peace Foundation, in
[00:03:20] 2025, Colombia had nearly 25,000 armed
[00:03:23] people in illegal
[00:03:25] organizations,
[00:03:29] the shock and the... emotion in Thailand after the deadly shooting in a
[00:03:32] high school in the suburbs of Bangkok, a 14-year-old teenager killed five
[00:03:36] employees of the establishment, two of his grandparents before taking his own life,
[00:03:40] an act planned according to the authorities, the possession of firearms
[00:03:44] is very widespread in Thailand, a country which had also experienced several
[00:03:47] deadly shootings in recent years. Axel
[00:03:50] Simon:
[00:03:54] breakdowns, childhood outside the school, teachers in tears embracing. The staff and students of this
[00:03:58] school in the Bangkok suburbs experienced a nightmare in broad
[00:04:02] daylight, a 14-year-old teenager opened fire, killing
[00:04:05] several people and injuring about fifteen before
[00:04:08] committing suicide, some students and teachers managed to
[00:04:11] lock themselves in classrooms, others tried to hide or
[00:04:15] flee,
[00:04:18] found refuge in the toilets, we thought it was over,
[00:04:23] before our meeting, the UN then a teacher shouted run fast, the shooter went to another building and ran
[00:04:26] here.
[00:04:30] When I arrived there, it was total chaos. The students we
[00:04:33] took care of outside were injured in the back, chest and
[00:04:38] of the school arm. We gave them first aid, the shooter was still active at that
[00:04:41] moment.
[00:04:43] According to the police, the shooter is one of the college students. He fired more than
[00:04:47] twenty bullets with a pistol belonging to his grandfather and was
[00:04:50] found in possession of about thirty additional
[00:04:53] ammunition. The police specified that the shooter had killed his
[00:04:57] grandparents at their home before going to his college and opening
[00:05:01] fire, I am deeply saddened, not only for
[00:05:06] to avoid hating the victims, but also to see that such an incident can happen in our
[00:05:09] country, that is why the government has not
[00:05:12] authorized the extension of the right to possess firearms, it is precisely for this
[00:05:16] reason.
[00:05:20] Political commitments in recent years to toughen legislation on
[00:05:23] gun ownership have not prevented the multiplication of shootings.
[00:05:27] It is estimated that there are more than 10 million firearms in circulation in
[00:05:31] Thailand, or one for every seven inhabitants. This is the
[00:05:34] second fatal school shooting in Thailand this year.
[00:05:38] In 2022, a former police officer had also killed 36 people in a
[00:05:42] nursery in the north of the country, the majority of whom were
[00:05:45] children.
[00:05:48] Also in the news, this agreement sealed between Saudi Arabia,
[00:05:52] Pakistan and Turkey who today signed a mutual
[00:05:56] defense pact in Jeddah in a context of worsening tensions in
[00:05:59] the Middle East. Saudi Arabia is both targeted by the Iranian regime
[00:06:03] but is also engaged in a conflict with the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
[00:06:07] With this agreement, any armed attack against one of these three countries
[00:06:10] will be considered an attack against them all and
[00:06:14] Turkey specifies this evening that this agreement does not contradict its
[00:06:17] commitments with
[00:06:18] NATO.
[00:06:22] Spain's ultimatum to Italy. Spain threatens Italy
[00:06:25] with retaliatory measures if it does not lift the suspension of the
[00:06:29] Schengen agreement for its nationals. Rome had taken this decision following
[00:06:32] the massive influx of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta,
[00:06:36] and for now Italy does not intend to reverse it before next week.
[00:06:40] Lovon.
[00:06:44] In front of this police station, dozens of unaccompanied minors are waiting
[00:06:48] their turn to be identified and placed in a
[00:06:51] reception center, these young adolescents have been living on the streets for several
[00:06:54] days, in more than
[00:06:56] precarious conditions,
[00:06:59] they ate, washed themselves as best they could and asked people for help,
[00:07:03] some gave them 1 euro, others bread, that's how they
[00:07:07] get by day by day, it is
[00:07:11] minors are enough.
[00:07:13] local authorities are doing everything they can to take care of these minors and
[00:07:17] manage the few thousand migrants who are still in the enclave according to figures from the Spanish
[00:07:21] Interior. on the diplomatic front, the war of words continues between
[00:07:25] Spain and Italy. Madrid threatens to apply retaliatory
[00:07:28] measures against Rome, if Italy does not reverse its decision to suspend
[00:07:32] free movement with Spain before Sunday. Last
[00:07:36] July 31, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced the
[00:07:39] strengthening of controls at land borders. We
[00:07:43] call on the Italian government to review its position, to
[00:07:46] end the control and to treat Spaniards like other
[00:07:50] European citizens. If it does not do so before the end of the
[00:07:53] day on Sunday, August 9, Spain will be forced to adopt
[00:07:57] proportional measures to protect the interests and dignity of its
[00:08:01] citizens. Italy says it does not want to give in to any
[00:08:04] ultimatum, in a statement, the Italian government
[00:08:10] the Schengen agreement with Spain until
[00:08:13] August 15 and we end this newspaper with images
[00:08:17] tinged with poetry and magic before next week's eclipse,
[00:08:20] another spectacle enchants evenings in
[00:08:23] Paris, dozens of visitors have been admiring these last few days the
[00:08:26] sunset that aligns with the Champs Élysées visible under
[00:08:30] the Arc de Triomphe, tourists and photographers rush to capture this
[00:08:34] moment which only happens twice a year in May and
[00:08:38] August.
[00:08:38] d'août.
[00:08:42] We leave it there, but the training continues on France 24, next update on
[00:08:46] the news in a few minutes, see you
[00:08:48] soon,
[00:08:53] this video contains discussions about mental health, some comments may
[00:08:57] be offensive, so if you don't feel up to it, you can stop the
[00:09:00] video,
[00:09:03] it feels like psychologists are for crazy people who need
[00:09:06] to be institutionalized, when that's not true at all, 400 calls from young
[00:09:10] people in distress, from parents in distress. my addictions
[00:09:13] that save me a little bit, I suffered from
[00:09:16] depression, I was sad, in fact it's like the mountain that is there right now, it's about
[00:09:20] to, we feel that it's about to,
[00:09:23] where I am, the setting is just incredible, after that it's true
[00:09:27] that it's also a bit the image we have of Martinique, well I'm not here to show you
[00:09:30] my holidays, but because behind this idyllic landscape there is almost
[00:09:34] one in two young adults who would suffer from malaise or
[00:09:37] depression, that's twice as much as in mainland France,
[00:09:41] so if I'm here it's... to try to understand the reasons for this malaise and then to
[00:09:45] try to see how this Martinique youth is taken
[00:09:47] care of,
[00:09:54] when you are depressed, you don't necessarily want to go out, you isolate yourself a lot, so
[00:09:58] that was my case for a few years already, this is
[00:10:01] Henry Michel, he is 23 years old, he agreed to testify and tell me
[00:10:05] about his malaise, what made you realize that you were not
[00:10:08] well,
[00:10:11] I think it's... marks of loved ones, my mother told me that she didn't
[00:10:14] see me very often and that I didn't talk to her much and I hadn't realized
[00:10:18] that because
[00:10:20] well that's how time doesn't pass very quickly uh I tried
[00:10:24] several psychologists, but it wasn't
[00:10:28] great, the first psychologists I saw, it was someone who talked to me about
[00:10:31] God, it was after that my father, diagnosis of depression, I had been given
[00:10:35] Prozac but it didn't work, then
[00:10:38] after I went back again and then that's when I do diagnoses and
[00:10:42] so on to find out, high school was a
[00:10:45] very tumultuous period in my
[00:10:49] life, there were ups and downs, you can tell me a
[00:10:52] little more uh it's family
[00:10:55] level, divorce and so on, the death
[00:10:59] of loved ones,
[00:11:00] harassment,
[00:11:03] there were already stories of rejection in middle school, I really
[00:11:07] struggled, and there was also
[00:11:10] homophobia, homophobia, it's something I've experienced since I was
[00:11:13] well you know, a kid, you
[00:11:17] get a little disgusted with people and in the end you prefer to just
[00:11:21] isolate yourself, stay alone. and then
[00:11:25] there was also covid, that made it a little
[00:11:27] worse the
[00:11:31] depression, it also messed me up a lot, so right now I'm
[00:11:34] seeing a psychologist to try to catch up, but for
[00:11:38] example just going to sleep, it's a little
[00:11:41] complicated for example, how did you approach the subject of your
[00:11:45] malaise with your loved ones, I don't feel like I've
[00:11:48] really talked about that to people, because in fact I feel like they don't take it seriously in
[00:11:52] Martinique, they see it a bit like laziness and it's not true that I'm looking for something
[00:11:55] to do and that's it,
[00:11:58] I have depression, I find
[00:12:01] tension, I'm struggling, but I'm still
[00:12:02] trying,
[00:12:08] when I started talking about the fact that
[00:12:12] problems, they said "yeah but it's because yeah but you have to talk to God
[00:12:16] your faith is not strong enough, I can't find a job,
[00:12:19] but yeah but you have to ask God, it's so annoying, I want to talk to human
[00:12:23] beings who themselves are going through it.
[00:12:25] I really like progress, I really want it to progress, I don't know if we're going back a bit to that
[00:12:29] community mentality where we connect without judging each other and
[00:12:33] how do you feel today
[00:12:35] uh well
[00:12:39] listen
[00:12:41] I'm here it's average
[00:12:45] I exist
[00:12:48] I live
[00:12:49] that's it.
[00:12:56] With Henry Michel's journey, I'm starting to perceive factors that could
[00:13:00] explain a certain
[00:13:01] malaise.
[00:13:05] Hearing another testimony seems important to me. A young
[00:13:08] woman agreed to talk to me, but without showing her face. Her
[00:13:12] name is Sokaïna and she is 20
[00:13:14] years old.
[00:13:19] You really feel like it's never going to stop and that there's nothing to
[00:13:21] do.
[00:13:25] we remain alone and we isolate ourselves most of the time,
[00:13:28] this malaise for you it started uh, it started
[00:13:32] when well since I was little because I always felt a
[00:13:35] little alone because my mother well I never really dared
[00:13:38] uh to talk to her or
[00:13:41] ask her for things because she was already very busy with my brothers and my
[00:13:45] older sister who does not have all her
[00:13:48] faculties voilà and it got worse after middle
[00:13:51] school because well I was experiencing...
[00:13:55] harassment in middle school and then when I came home it still wasn't going well but
[00:13:59] I had no one to talk to about it
[00:14:02] I didn't necessarily put words to it at the right time in fact I was sent
[00:14:05] to see a therapist because the only way I called for
[00:14:09] help was through self-harm
[00:14:12] you self-harmed yeah how old were
[00:14:15] you 15 years old
[00:14:18] 14 15 years old because when I
[00:14:21] asked for help for example from the school counselor
[00:14:25] this kind of thing, even my mother sometimes, I felt like,
[00:14:28] it was well it will get better, stop, there are worse things and
[00:14:32] so on, I really wanted to say, but I really wasn't doing well,
[00:14:36] but then I found only that way to show that it
[00:14:39] was really really not going well, and how do you
[00:14:42] manage your this problem, this problem of
[00:14:46] malaise today, do you have any levers you can
[00:14:49] use? addictions,
[00:14:51] yeah.
[00:14:56] "I know it's not good but then it's my addictions
[00:14:59] that
[00:15:01] save me a little bit even if I know it's not ideal but right now it's the only thing that allows me to kind of
[00:15:04] hold on not cannabis because it scares me
[00:15:08] alcohol cigarettes and so on
[00:15:12] how do you feel today
[00:15:14] aujourd'hui
[00:15:19] we feel stuck sometimes that is
[00:15:22] when we want to find a job it's complicated"
[00:15:26] okay because if we don't have the expensive driver's license we
[00:15:30] can't go to work because well the buses
[00:15:33] here are a disaster are you looking for a job today?
[00:15:38] "Currently I would like to, but given where I live that
[00:15:41] I still don't have a license, it's hard to find solutions alone
[00:15:44] because even when we go to France Travail for example,
[00:15:48] we don't really get solutions or help, there's no follow-up. what do you do
[00:15:52] today with your days?
[00:15:54] nothing at all, I'm waiting for time to pass, and do you have friends?
[00:15:58] no, I have three or four scattered like that, most of them are in
[00:16:01] France too, and you also want to leave, yes,
[00:16:05] I love my island, but..." it's super complicated to live
[00:16:09] there,
[00:16:16] Henry Michel and Sokaïna have two different stories, but they also have common
[00:16:20] points. So I wanted to know if there were recurring factors that
[00:16:23] would explain the malaise of young people on the island. I called
[00:16:27] psychiatrists and psychologists. Hello, this is Eléonore, the
[00:16:30] journalist from Denter. I'm doing a report on the mental health of young people in
[00:16:34] Martinique, well young adults. And I also told them about the study that
[00:16:37] indicates that nearly one in two young people would suffer from depression on the island, I wanted to
[00:16:41] discuss it with you a little, ask you a few questions and above all get
[00:16:45] your opinion and your point of view. some are not surprised by this figure and think it is even
[00:16:49] underestimated, others more skeptical are surprised by it,
[00:16:53] but they still enlightened me on the reasons they find in some of their
[00:16:56] patients: precariousness and unemployment, which are in
[00:17:00] Martinique well above the national average, the consumption of
[00:17:03] toxic substances, domestic violence, the feeling
[00:17:06] of abandonment by the state
[00:17:09] the island, this is what they observe and it is
[00:17:13] obviously difficult to establish a complete
[00:17:14] list.
[00:17:18] Eléonore, let's go, come, I'm coming, I think they're
[00:17:22] waiting for me, hello, welcome, hello
[00:17:26] Géraldine,
[00:17:29] so now we're going for a little ride with our itinerant bus,
[00:17:33] this bus was set up in fact to meet
[00:17:37] the Martinique public, young Martinique residents for the
[00:17:39] time being, Géraldine works daily with young people, she is a specialized
[00:17:43] educator for the house of adolescents and young adults in Fort de France, so
[00:17:47] it's about awareness and it can also concern
[00:17:51] mental health as well as other areas, so at the
[00:17:54] house of adolescents, we work on the mental health well-being of young people, the
[00:17:58] main mission, anyway mental health encompasses a lot of
[00:18:02] problems already since covid indeed
[00:18:05] uh... well
[00:18:09] on the island we fell into a great precariousness which
[00:18:12] led a major part of the population
[00:18:16] uh to have a fragile
[00:18:19] mental health. The team intervenes everywhere on
[00:18:22] the island, or like this. today she decided to make a
[00:18:26] stop at the exit of a high school near Fort de
[00:18:28] France.
[00:18:31] come with us so we can explain a little bit about the context of the house of
[00:18:35] adolescents, it's a system that has... supported young people from 11 to 25 years old in the
[00:18:39] different problems they encounter, it can be job search who suffers
[00:18:43] from harassment, who has problems at home, you can call us via a phone
[00:18:47] number, you can contact us there, even
[00:18:50] if it's just to talk because your
[00:18:53] health is not going well, you can send us a message, you
[00:18:57] can remain anonymous as you wish, a small
[00:19:00] flyer with our number inside. In
[00:19:03] 2025, the structure received more than 400 calls on this
[00:19:06] number. It also offers follow-up and appointments with
[00:19:10] psychologists.
[00:19:12] Before going in, Géraldine wants to introduce me to another specialized
[00:19:16] educator, Pegy Charles. She is also
[00:19:19] an elected delegate for mental health at the town hall of Fort de France. For you, what
[00:19:23] are the reasons for the malaise uh among young
[00:19:26] adults in Martinique? Well, these reasons are multiple, family
[00:19:32] traumas, economic reasons, but
[00:19:35] also identity issues. Identity is knowing where we come from, who we
[00:19:39] are, it's important, knowing
[00:19:41] who we are really allows us to project ourselves into the future, not to be constantly
[00:19:45] questioning and not to fall into deviations. For Peggy
[00:19:49] Charles, the painful colonial past of Martinique is not sufficiently recognized
[00:19:53] or taught, and this also weakens the mental health of young people.
[00:19:57] And by coincidence of the calendar, 2 days
[00:20:00] recognized slavery as the most serious crime against
[00:20:03] humanity, but France abstained from voting on this text.
[00:20:07] you went to seek, tear people away from their culture and their identity
[00:20:11] to do what you needed to do, it's not a
[00:20:15] crime against humanity, and yes, it leaves wounds, yes it
[00:20:19] leaves stigmas that mean that today there is a
[00:20:22] youth that is boiling,
[00:20:25] let's recognize it and let's go because we avoid
[00:20:28] riots, we avoid a suffering population, we
[00:20:32] avoid all that, I believe that mastering this
[00:20:34] history will allow us to love ourselves. it will allow
[00:20:38] us, as I said and I repeat, to project ourselves, but also
[00:20:43] others. Peggy Charles also told me about the mental
[00:20:47] health care for young people in Martinique. Like her, I realized
[00:20:51] that many were not aware of the existing
[00:20:53] facilities on the island, here there are about ten
[00:20:57] psychological medical centers, CMPs. these care facilities are
[00:21:00] public and you can consult psychologists and psychiatrists
[00:21:04] for free.
[00:21:06] Despite this, the sector also suffers from a lack of human resources. At Maurice
[00:21:10] Despinois psychiatric hospital for example, 35% of psychiatrist
[00:21:13] positions were still vacant at the time of
[00:21:16] filming.
[00:21:28] Since I arrived in Martinique, every time I
[00:21:31] talk about mental health, whether it's health professionals or people I
[00:21:35] meet on the street, about four or five people told me
[00:21:39] "you absolutely have to meet sociologist Malik
[00:21:42] Duranti", I think he's well known here and this morning I have
[00:21:46] an appointment with him, hi Malik, how are you?
[00:21:51] He takes me to a lakou, which means courtyard in Creole.
[00:21:55] Traditionally, it's a shared space at the center of several
[00:21:58] homes. And why did you want to bring me here to talk about
[00:22:02] youth mental health? Well, because these are places that
[00:22:05] today are a bit in
[00:22:08] disuse and which for a long time constituted
[00:22:11] places conducive to cultural mixing, social
[00:22:14] mixing, and that for me it was
[00:22:18] an opportunity to show that these were...
[00:22:20] which could allow us to break the isolation which is a
[00:22:24] determining factor in mental health
[00:22:27] here
[00:22:35] we are in a working-class neighborhood where people, even
[00:22:38] without having a high socioeconomic
[00:22:42] level, were dignified, the promotion and valorization
[00:22:46] of their culture had this
[00:22:49] vocation... but we are dignified men, even if we
[00:22:52] do not have the material success of the capitalist system, but
[00:22:56] we exist, we have a popular system, of solidarity, helping
[00:23:00] hand, exchanges, today all these elements are gone because
[00:23:03] there is a modernization of our society that is
[00:23:07] completely, I'm not going to say imposed but imported, so there is a
[00:23:10] graft of modernity, there is an institutional graft, for Malick
[00:23:14] Duranti, this graft of modernity and especially the arrival
[00:23:17] of social networks have reinforced the isolation among young people. today through
[00:23:20] social networks we have distanced ourselves from others, we have lost
[00:23:24] the benevolence among us, we have lost this solidarity of saying that we will
[00:23:28] support each other and that we will be able to
[00:23:31] forgive each other and repair things together
[00:23:35] that between us will divide us because
[00:23:38] union between us, tolerance,
[00:23:41] solidarity, living together, that's what the House
[00:23:44] of Teens and Young Adults also focuses on. Before
[00:23:48] returning to Paris, she suggests participating in a culinary workshop
[00:23:51] that she organizes with teenagers she's been following for a while.
[00:24:12] we make two groups of five, so one group
[00:24:15] of akra moru and one
[00:24:17] group.
[00:24:22] You're going to start your cra dough,
[00:24:26] that's enough, we don't judge, we don't judge, go ahead and pour a little more water,
[00:24:30] Mélina, it should actually have the consistency of a pancake batter,
[00:24:34] but a little thicker than pancake batter. Is this the first time you've done a workshop like this?
[00:24:38] No, we've already done it. You really
[00:24:41] liked it, that's why you're coming back. Yes, yeah, do you make them
[00:24:45] at home afterwards or not? Yeah, you like
[00:24:49] it a lot?
[00:24:57] It's important to invite young people to
[00:25:00] a lot of activities
[00:25:03] so that they can communicate
[00:25:06] with young people their age, or even older or younger.
[00:25:09] When we see them in full communication like that and a little
[00:25:13] distracted, we try to listen to what they say and see
[00:25:17] if it's not a problem they're talking about, or if it's
[00:25:20] something related to the activity that they didn't understand. They're so
[00:25:24] happy to see each other again. It's always a joy to
[00:25:28] see them like that. So you've known each other for a really long time. So, what do
[00:25:32] you think of this house for teenagers and young adults? What do
[00:25:35] you think? It allows us to meet and
[00:25:39] it also allows us to meet
[00:25:41] other people our age who, for example,
[00:25:45] might be going through the same thing as us, and
[00:25:49] uh... well, to understand
[00:25:52] that we're not the only ones who are feeling, well, feeling
[00:25:55] bad, or not. Oh,
[00:25:59] sweetie, when I arrived, I wasn't really
[00:26:03] well. I was suffering from depression.
[00:26:06] Uh, I had suicidal
[00:26:09] attempts. I was, I was
[00:26:12] sad, and the fact of seeing, well, the fact of having
[00:26:15] come here, and having a psychiatrist follow
[00:26:18] me, it still relieved me.
[00:26:22] And how do you feel
[00:26:24] today? Uh,
[00:26:26] I'm doing okay, I'm doing better. Yes, I'm doing better. Not as
[00:26:30] well as I'd like, but I'm doing better. It's a journey. Yes, that's it, it's a
[00:26:33] journey. For people who aren't feeling well,
[00:26:37] what would you advise them? Uh, I would advise them to talk
[00:26:41] about it, to go see a psychologist, because generally people think
[00:26:44] that psychologists are for crazy people who need to be institutionalized,
[00:26:48] which is not true at all. Also, not to withdraw into
[00:26:51] themselves, avoid being on their phone, because generally
[00:26:55] on your phone you isolate yourself, and that can create other
[00:26:59] problems related to what you see on social media, which is not your life. To talk
[00:27:02] about it. Yeah, sometimes the psychologists
[00:27:06] are very, they help us
[00:27:08] a lot.
[00:27:14] Kisses, get home safe, take care of yourselves and sleep at
[00:27:17] night.
[00:27:23] What you saw in this report, it's what I was able to observe by spending two weeks
[00:27:27] there. If you live in Martinique, don't hesitate to give me your
[00:27:30] opinion in the comments. If you live... in other overseas territories, I'd be
[00:27:34] curious to know how it is where
[00:27:37] mental health topics, we'll continue to talk about it on Enter, so subscribe.
[00:30:07] Thank you for being with us on France 24. We are together to recap
[00:30:11] the news and in this newscast we will talk
[00:30:15] about Abel Ardeau de la Espriella, the new president of
[00:30:18] Colombia who will be inaugurated shortly. The
[00:30:21] ceremony will take place in Calli, the country's third largest city, and not in
[00:30:24] Bogota. An ally of Donald Trump, he makes the fight against
[00:30:28] drug trafficking a priority. The shock in
[00:30:31] Thailand after... the deadly shooting at a high school near Bangkok. A
[00:30:35] 14-year-old adolescent killed his grandparents, then five members
[00:30:41] staff before committing suicide, an act that had
[00:30:43] been planned according to the authorities. And then
[00:30:46] Spain's ultimatum to Italy: Madrid demands that
[00:30:50] Rome quickly lift controls concerning its nationals
[00:30:53] after the migratory crisis of Seuta. Italy had decided to
[00:30:56] reinstate them for Spaniards and does not intend to back down.
