[00:00:00] to Sunday in the Journal de l'Afrique on France
[00:00:05] menstrual blood being polluting and of 24. You are still on France 24,
[00:00:09] thank you for being with us, it is 7pm in Paris, an opportunity to take a new
[00:00:12] world tour of the news, on the front page, the death toll
[00:00:16] in Ukraine is rising, four dead in the massive bombings of the
[00:00:19] night on Kiev and its region. Volodymyr
[00:00:22] Zelensky denounced the use of ballistic missiles against
[00:00:25] civilian infrastructure. Moscow claims the attacks but
[00:00:29] says it targeted a... fuel depot and an arms
[00:00:31] factory, attacks
[00:00:34] two allies of the European Union, two allies of that occur, as you can see, while the Ukrainian president is making his
[00:00:36] first visit to Serbia, a traditional ally of
[00:00:39] Russia.
[00:00:43] continue, but it is especially within There is tension between Madrid and Rome, Spain announces it will implement
[00:00:46] border controls for travelers from
[00:00:50] Italy, a retaliatory measure identical to the one Rome had
[00:00:53] established after the Ceuta crisis, we will
[00:00:56] decipher this diplomatic crisis with...
[00:01:00] Bruno Darou with us on set
[00:01:04] and then these first testimonies collected in Nigeria, last Thursday, more
[00:01:07] than 300 people were released after abductions in
[00:01:11] two northern states in February, among them
[00:01:15] children who, as you will see, recount the ordeal they
[00:01:19] opposition makes it the symbol of endured for months.
[00:01:33] The toll is therefore worsening in Ukraine, four dead in new
[00:01:37] massive bombings on the capital Kiev and its region, a toll
[00:01:40] given this afternoon by President Volodymyr Zelensky who
[00:01:44] denounced the use of ballistic missiles against
[00:01:47] civilian infrastructure. For its part, the Kremlin claims the attacks, but
[00:01:52] Spain's exclusion from the says it targeted fuel depots and an arms factory,
[00:01:55] andtanaji for the
[00:01:56] details.
[00:02:00] The bodies of the victims are being removed from the scene under the stunned
[00:02:04] gaze of residents, from this
[00:02:06] residential area in the Kiev region, all that remains are
[00:02:10] debris and charred cars. Here,
[00:02:13] Russian bombardments have killed several people including a child, a
[00:02:17] dozen injured and survivors in a state of
[00:02:19] shock. Our doors and windows were
[00:02:22] blown off, I immediately checked if my husband was
[00:02:25] alive, because he was in another room. We went
[00:02:29] out, and everything had already burned, my husband rushed to
[00:02:32] get water to put out the fire, but
[00:02:35] in vain, the neighbors came out to try to save a young
[00:02:38] child, but they didn't find him. All this
[00:02:42] week, Kiev and its region have suffered a deluge of fire,
[00:02:46] convent, escaped from intense nocturnal Russian bombardments and an Ukrainian anti-aircraft
[00:02:50] defense, unable to shoot down a single missile due to
[00:02:54] lack of interceptors. In the capital, the military
[00:02:58] administration called on residents to go to shelters to escape Russian
[00:03:02] ballistic missiles. Faced with the
[00:03:04] difficulties Ukraine is facing, Volodymyr
[00:03:07] Zelensky is working on the diplomatic front to maintain the
[00:03:11] support of his allies, and even that of countries like
[00:03:14] Serbia, traditionally close to
[00:03:17] Moscow. We are developing all forms of
[00:03:20] cooperation likely to give our cities and our
[00:03:23] communities greater resilience and a better
[00:03:27] ability to face all the challenges of war. We
[00:03:30] welcome this humanitarian aid from Serbia,
[00:03:34] particularly in the areas of health and energy. A
[00:03:38] rapprochement between Kiev and
[00:03:39] towards Italy, especially the famous island of Belgrade, which is not to the Kremlin's liking. In May
[00:03:43] 2025, Russian intelligence was already accusing Serbian
[00:03:46] arms companies of selling ammunition to
[00:03:49] Ukraine via third
[00:03:51] countries.
[00:03:54] And then we learned late this morning, a drone that entered Bulgaria this
[00:03:57] Saturday morning exploded near the border with Romania and
[00:04:01] especially near a gas pipeline that connects Turkey to
[00:04:04] Ukraine through the Balkans, you will see it on this map, a Ukrainian
[00:04:08] drone, Kiev says in recent minutes that it has not launched
[00:04:12] any device deliberately but promises to clarify the
[00:04:16] four dead in the massive bombings of circumstances of the incident, the aircraft was carrying
[00:04:19] significant explosive charges, Sofia announces it has
[00:04:22] summoned the Ukrainian
[00:04:24] ambassador.
[00:04:28] In the rest of the news in Europe. The diplomatic struggle
[00:04:31] is intensifying between Rome and Madrid, Spain announces
[00:04:36] Serbia, a traditional ally of that it is establishing temporary border controls for travelers from
[00:04:39] Italy, controls began at midnight this Saturday Paris
[00:04:42] time, listen to the testimony of these travelers who were
[00:04:46] controlled before their arrival in Spain.
[00:04:49] I come from Poland to Italy and yes, police
[00:04:54] controls are rather
[00:04:57] unusual.
[00:05:15] nobody asked for a passport and nobody stopped us to check the contents of our
[00:05:18] bags. No, I don't like this situation,
[00:05:22] it's a bit too chaotic, I don't really like
[00:05:25] it.
[00:05:28] And to discuss this European diplomatic crisis, I am pleased
[00:05:31] to welcome Bruno Darou back to the set, international
[00:05:34] columnist at France 24, Bruno, there is tension between
[00:05:38] the Spanish socialist government and the far-right leader
[00:05:41] Giorgia. uh Meloni, a crisis between
[00:05:46] NATO, which could have repercussions on these institutions, yes,
[00:05:50] especially NATO, that may be in the longer term if the crisis were to
[00:05:56] the European Union, the President of the European Commission Rola Vonderlayen
[00:05:59] did everything after this crisis of Ceuta which,
[00:06:03] let's remember, ended well, since out of the 62,000
[00:06:07] migrants, the Spanish managed to return 7,000,
[00:06:10] that's 97%. So, certainly out of the more than 100 who
[00:06:14] remain, there are many unaccompanied minors, that raises
[00:06:18] a whole host of problems, you mentioned it with your
[00:06:21] guest a few minutes ago, but still,
[00:06:24] overall, Spain managed this crisis quite well, in
[00:06:28] collaboration, even if relations are sometimes a bit complicated with
[00:06:32] Morocco, but then from the start, it was Giorgia Meloni who
[00:06:35] somewhat instrumentalized this crisis, accusing Prime Minister Pedro
[00:06:39] Sanchez of being lax. She even made a link
[00:06:42] between the rather significant regularizations granted by Pedro Sanchez
[00:06:46] regarding these migrants and the current crisis, saying,
[00:06:50] "Well, you see, that attracts your policy means that there are more and
[00:06:54] more young migrants from
[00:06:57] Africa who want to reach Europe."
[00:07:01] And so she called for
[00:07:04] Schengen area, which legally, in any case, is impossible
[00:07:08] under European texts. So she took this temporary measure, because that is allowed,
[00:07:13] to strengthen border controls for travelers from
[00:07:16] Spain. Well, tit for tat, Madrid first asked
[00:07:20] Rome to lift these controls and, as that was not done,
[00:07:24] it has therefore established, since a few hours ago, these controls for
[00:07:27] passengers from Italy. So there is a diplomatic
[00:07:31] crisis, but beyond the facts, if you will, we must see that there is a kind of
[00:07:34] competition between Giorgia Meloni, representative of a
[00:07:37] very extreme right, shall we say, but
[00:07:40] in competition in Italy with a rising figure of the right who
[00:07:44] is even more radical than her, so since there are general elections in
[00:07:48] 2027, she is trying to show herself to be extremely firm, there is this aspect
[00:07:52] of internal politics that was underlined by the Spanish
[00:07:55] authorities in a communiqué, without mentioning Mrs. Meloni's name,
[00:07:59] obviously, there is also the fact that these two
[00:08:03] countries, Italy and Spain, are countries of first entry, as
[00:08:06] they say, for these migrations and that there is therefore a form of ideological
[00:08:10] competition since Pedro Sanchez is a socialist and Mrs.
[00:08:14] Meloni is on the far right on
[00:08:17] the nature of the type of migratory policy that should be adopted
[00:08:21] and Mrs. Meloni would like to appear as the toughest, the firmest and the one who has the best
[00:08:24] answers to this migratory policy, Pedro Sanchez, for his part,
[00:08:28] remains steadfast in his more humanist policy which he
[00:08:31] considers more effective and therefore more human, so there
[00:08:35] is this very political tug-of-war,
[00:08:38] left versus far-right, so the problem for Mrs. Meloni is that...
[00:08:42] uh well her migratory record is not
[00:08:45] extraordinary because well the route
[00:08:48] that comes from North Africa
[00:08:52] Lampedusa, well in fact this route has not dried
[00:08:55] up at all since Mrs. Meloni came to power
[00:08:59] and it remains one of the most deadly routes
[00:09:01] concerning these migrations, thank you very much Bruno
[00:09:04] Darou, we will obviously continue to follow this situation and this nascent
[00:09:08] diplomatic crisis between Spain and.
[00:09:12] Heading to the United States, Donald Trump has his man at the
[00:09:16] head of American justice, Tote Blanche, his former
[00:09:19] personal lawyer, was appointed by a very narrow
[00:09:23] majority by the American Senate, 50 votes against 49, two
[00:09:27] Republican senators voted against the nomination of Donald Trump's
[00:09:30] trusted man, who notably helped to make the
[00:09:34] Department of Justice an extension of the White House,
[00:09:37] "I act under the direction of the American president,"
[00:09:40] declared the one who was... of Pambondi in recent years, the former
[00:09:44] Minister of Justice dismissed after
[00:09:47] her handling of the Epstein affair, since then it's Tote Blanche who
[00:09:50] has been acting as interim and he has notably launched numerous prosecutions against Donald Trump's
[00:09:54] alleged enemies causing massive
[00:09:57] departures of career
[00:10:00] prosecutors.
[00:10:02] American justice, not yet entirely in
[00:10:06] Donald Trump's hands, the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia
[00:10:09] confirms the suspension of the project of a ballroom at the White
[00:10:13] House, the work had already been stopped by a judge
[00:10:17] last April, for lack of a green light from Congress, a national
[00:10:20] shame according to the American president Romain
[00:10:23] Michelot.
[00:10:26] "Will the White House ballroom ever see the light of day?
[00:10:30] This project dear to Donald Trump, whose construction began at the end of
[00:10:33] 2025, has just been blocked again by American
[00:10:36] justice. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals
[00:10:40] confirmed a decision from last April, the work must
[00:10:43] cease because it was launched without the green light from Congress,
[00:10:46] essential for such a project at the White House, a new
[00:10:50] setback for Donald Trump who defends this
[00:10:53] project tooth and nail. a decision taken while a large part of the
[00:10:57] work has already been carried out and paid for constitutes a
[00:11:00] threat to national security of maximum
[00:11:03] gravity. It is also a national
[00:11:05] shame. We will immediately appeal this
[00:11:09] decision before the Supreme Court of the United States. This
[00:11:12] ballroom of more than 8300 square meters with a capacity of
[00:11:16] 100 people is financed by private funds according to the American
[00:11:19] president. But the budget has already soared from 200
[00:11:23] to 400 million dollars. Today, Donald Trump
[00:11:26] justifies this project and assures that the building will contain other
[00:11:29] military defense devices, but it is very
[00:11:32] decried, the National Trust for Historic
[00:11:35] Preservation, an NGO for the preservation of historic
[00:11:39] buildings, challenged it in court, the Democratic
[00:11:44] the president's ego.
[00:11:47] These are projects dictated by vanity and the president would
[00:11:50] literally dedicate 70% of his time to it. The president
[00:11:54] is a very busy person, he has a lot of things
[00:11:58] he needs to pay attention to, including the war in
[00:12:00] Iran. This project is not unanimous within
[00:12:04] the Republican party either. Donald Trump's government now has
[00:12:08] 14 days to appeal
[00:12:09] before the American Supreme Court.
[00:12:13] These are the first testimonies we are receiving from Nigeria. Last
[00:12:17] Thursday, the country's security forces rescued 308
[00:12:20] people who had been abducted during separate attacks in two northern
[00:12:24] states. Among the survivors are children,
[00:12:27] today, they recount the ordeal they have endured since their
[00:12:31] abduction last February. Axel
[00:12:34] Simon: women and children still
[00:12:37] traumatized, they were rescued on Thursday by Nigerian
[00:12:41] security forces and are now waiting to return
[00:12:44] home. They were among the 308 people abducted last
[00:12:48] February in two northern Nigerian states. Today,
[00:12:51] some bear witness to the ordeal they went through.
[00:12:56] every time a plane approached, they ordered us to put out the fires we had lit and to
[00:13:00] remain absolutely silent so as not to be spotted, they
[00:13:03] didn't always give us food, we and our children went to bed with empty
[00:13:07] stomachs, there were sick people among
[00:13:10] us, several pregnant women gave birth during our
[00:13:14] captivity,
[00:13:16] for the families of the hostages, it's finally relief after 6 months
[00:13:19] of anguish,
[00:13:22] we couldn't sleep or eat. Our thoughts were
[00:13:25] monopolized by worry, especially for the
[00:13:27] children.
[00:13:29] The 308 victims had been held in captivity since February following
[00:13:33] several deadly attacks carried out by armed groups in two northern
[00:13:37] states, such as this one in Kuara state, during which more than
[00:13:41] 170 people were killed and the village reduced to ashes. The
[00:13:45] large rescue operation on Thursday was carried out jointly by
[00:13:48] the armed forces, intelligence services and the
[00:13:51] police. Everyone has been rescued.
[00:13:58] As you can see, there are only children and women here
[00:14:01] today, about forty are still in
[00:14:04] hospital. Nigeria is struggling to curb armed attacks and abductions
[00:14:08] perpetrated by armed groups and jihadists who sow
[00:14:11] terror. The Nigerian president had attributed the
[00:14:14] responsibility for the main attack in February to the Islamist movement
[00:14:18] Boko Haram, a term also used generically
[00:14:21] to refer to jihadist groups in Nigeria.
[00:14:26] That's it for this edition, thank you for watching, the information continues on France 24.
[00:14:46] Hello everyone and welcome to Ractuelle,
[00:14:50] Myanmar has decided to ban menstrual
[00:14:53] protection on its territory. A decision by the army to
[00:14:57] fight against rebels opposed to the military
[00:15:00] junta, we will talk about it in a moment with my guest Henriette
[00:15:04] Serak. And then the nuns are rebelling in
[00:15:08] Austria, three retired nuns broke out to leave their nursing home
[00:15:11] and return to their beloved
[00:15:13] convent.
[00:15:17] The junta in power in Myanmar has decided to ban
[00:15:20] sanitary pads, what the military blames them for
[00:15:24] is. to serve as makeshift bandages for rebels and therefore as
[00:15:28] such to be undesirable in the country. The
[00:15:31] military power returned after a coup in
[00:15:34] 2021, so it decided to ban menstrual
[00:15:37] protections, since 15 million women are
[00:15:41] left without solutions every month. To talk
[00:15:44] about it, I am pleased to welcome Henriette Serrac
[00:15:47] from Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, you are on a mission, hello Henriette, you are
[00:15:51] a menstrual health consultant and you founded
[00:15:54] Pankalai in Myanmar, which is an organization that produces safe
[00:15:58] sanitary pads but was forced to close a few
[00:16:01] years ago, Henriette, when the
[00:16:04] junta issued this ban on... sanitary
[00:16:07] protection on its territory, is it really convinced by what it says, that is, that
[00:16:11] the pads are used to treat the rebels' injuries or is it
[00:16:15] a pretext according to
[00:16:16] you?
[00:16:20] I think it's a pretext, I think nobody takes this excuse
[00:16:24] seriously, it's totally fantastical, uh you
[00:16:27] can't imagine that a pad could seriously serve
[00:16:30] as a compress in a
[00:16:34] war context, what is much more probable in fact. is
[00:16:37] that in this phase of the civil war, it's a very long civil war, but it's true that since
[00:16:41] the coup of 2021 it has intensified
[00:16:44] and a characteristic of this new phase of the civil
[00:16:48] war is that women have joined the ranks of the
[00:16:51] resistance in numbers and so what seems much more probable is that
[00:16:55] the military junta had this idea in fact to
[00:16:58] limit the ability of these
[00:17:01] resistance fighters to participate in the
[00:17:04] war but in fact it affects indeed all women, women.
[00:17:07] it is a fraction of Burmese
[00:17:11] women and in fact this prohibition impacts
[00:17:14] all Burmese women and girls, it means
[00:17:17] that their ability to travel, to go to school, to go
[00:17:20] to work will be significantly
[00:17:23] affected, uh it will
[00:17:26] exclude them socially for about a week a month
[00:17:30] for those of childbearing age, uh it will also
[00:17:34] create a lot of shame, a lot of stigmatization,
[00:17:37] periods in fact are a very stigmatized subject in the
[00:17:40] context of Burmese culture and
[00:17:43] so preventing them from managing their
[00:17:46] menstruation properly will
[00:17:49] in fact place an even greater taboo, a greater
[00:17:52] shame on these women, concretely that
[00:17:56] means that there are no more sanitary protections entering Burmese
[00:17:59] territory, that means there is a shortage, are there still
[00:18:03] alternatives for these women who have their periods every
[00:18:06] month? In fact, what we don't know
[00:18:10] very well is the scale of this
[00:18:12] prohibition, a priori it is
[00:18:16] certain in certain regions where the resistance is
[00:18:19] especially strong, particularly the Mandalay region, the Sagaing
[00:18:23] region,
[00:18:25] we don't know, in fact it's very complicated to have
[00:18:29] reliable data on this subject
[00:18:32] right now, uh but therefore at least in
[00:18:35] several regions. Myanmar, that's the case, uh, what we can imagine again, is that finally
[00:18:39] in fact what we even know
[00:18:43] with certainty, is that as a result, there is a whole
[00:18:46] black market developing with the
[00:18:50] price of menstrual packages that
[00:18:53] is increasing wildly, there
[00:18:57] are also therefore pads that will be of poorer quality that will
[00:19:01] penetrate via the black market on the Burmese
[00:19:04] market, uh but the most probable thing really is that women will therefore
[00:19:08] go back a little bit to what their mothers, their grandmothers did, that is to say, they will use
[00:19:12] old longis, the longi is the traditional
[00:19:16] Burmese jute that is worn by the vast majority
[00:19:19] of Burmese women, they will use these old fabrics
[00:19:23] uh to roll them up or fix them
[00:19:27] in a homemade way uh to absorb
[00:19:30] their blood. What are the health risks
[00:19:33] when they are makeshift sanitary protections like
[00:19:37] the ones you just described rather than those that can be used, thrown away and
[00:19:40] bought again?
[00:19:44] It is documented, very well documented across the world,
[00:19:47] that uh girls and
[00:19:50] women who use makeshift systems
[00:19:53] are twice as exposed
[00:19:56] to urinary infections and reproductive tract
[00:20:00] infections uh which themselves can generate
[00:20:03] more serious infections, sometimes uh that are life-threatening.
[00:20:07] Uh and which are also uh linked to very
[00:20:11] high risks of infertility. You
[00:20:14] mentioned earlier the taboo that it represents to talk about periods,
[00:20:18] to have periods in Myanmar, but it is quite widespread in the world
[00:20:22] uh and especially in Asia, I think for example of Nepal where women
[00:20:25] must isolate themselves for a week during their periods in a hut so as not
[00:20:29] to pollute the rest of the village, why do you think
[00:20:32] uh such a fear of menstruation and why in this region of the
[00:20:36] world in particular?
[00:20:40] The taboo of periods is almost universal, it is true
[00:20:44] that in traditions, in Hindu traditions and therefore
[00:20:48] in certain regions of Nepal to... which you are referring,
[00:20:51] it is true that this idea of
[00:20:55] the menstruating woman being polluting, uh that is very
[00:20:59] strong in the Hindu tradition, but in fact what is very interesting
[00:21:02] is to realize that most cultures, most
[00:21:06] religions have their version of this taboo, of this
[00:21:09] stigmatization around menstruation, uh
[00:21:13] it is, well, it is something that is almost universal,
[00:21:16] uh Myanmar is a predominantly Buddhist country,
[00:21:20] they have their version of this
[00:21:23] stigmatization too, it is justified slightly differently, there
[00:21:27] are nuances, but it is something that we find in fact in most
[00:21:31] cultures, particularly traditional cultures. Do you think
[00:21:35] there are solutions to counter this ban in Myanmar? Will this ban
[00:21:39] hold, this ban on sanitary
[00:21:42] protection?
[00:21:44] We must talk about it, I am very happy to see that the media
[00:21:48] are taking up this... story which is
[00:21:51] truly shocking, uh we must absolutely talk about it,
[00:21:55] we must uh support organizations on the ground in
[00:21:58] Myanmar, I what makes me happy on the other hand,
[00:22:02] is that it's an opportunity to talk about what's happening, to talk about the civil war in
[00:22:06] Myanmar, about the military dictatorship uh in which the Burmese
[00:22:10] people have been living for 5 years uh and particularly about the condition
[00:22:13] of women, in this context, women are truly the first
[00:22:16] victims of this civil war, of this junta. uh
[00:22:20] which is extremely cruel, obscurantist and misogynistic, it's a
[00:22:24] metaphor in fact for the
[00:22:27] lack uh of access to menstrual products which in fact
[00:22:30] affects a very large proportion of
[00:22:34] women and girls worldwide, it is estimated that 500 million girls and women worldwide
[00:22:38] do not have access to pads, to menstrual
[00:22:41] products uh every month, uh and it is not
[00:22:45] only a problem in the countries uh of the global south, in
[00:22:49] France in... in rich countries, in quotation
[00:22:51] marks, we also see problems, that is to say there are 2 million,
[00:22:55] it is an estimate of around 2 million women in
[00:22:58] France who who every month do not manage
[00:23:02] to meet their needs in terms of menstrual products, there is really a huge
[00:23:06] amount of work that we can all do to fight against this taboo, this
[00:23:09] stigmatization to allow women to be
[00:23:13] in better health, beyond the ban,
[00:23:16] indeed the question of menstrual precariousness is very important, thank you very much.
[00:23:21] for this insight into the situation in
[00:23:22] Myanmar,
[00:23:25] "what a woman wants, God wants," says the saying, and it is apparently true if we are to
[00:23:29] believe the adventure of these retired people, not like the others, three nuns
[00:23:33] Austrian women who didn't want to leave their
[00:23:36] the nursing home where they had been placed against their will, a
[00:23:39] incredible scenario, this is a report by Lionel
[00:23:43] Feyerstein,
[00:23:45] the Austrian media affectionately call them the
[00:23:49] rebel nuns. Sister Rita 82, Sister
[00:23:53] Regina, 86 and Sister Bernadette, 88
[00:23:57] years old. Their story is worthy of a
[00:24:00] movie.
[00:24:03] A few months ago, they escaped from their retirement home
[00:24:06] to return to their beloved convent at the foot of the
[00:24:10] Alps.
[00:24:16] I am so happy to be back home at the convent, in this chapel.
[00:24:20] where all three of us took our vows, you can imagine, for me, it was in
[00:24:24] 1967.
[00:24:27] Two years ago, their superior, Provost Marcus
[00:24:30] Grassel, forcibly transferred them to this nursing home.
[00:24:33] According to him, the three sisters can no longer continue to live alone in their
[00:24:37] convent, but the nuns are depressed,
[00:24:40] feeling down, and don't want to stay. Last
[00:24:43] September, they decided to escape. Like my
[00:24:47] two sisters, I packed a few things in a small
[00:24:50] satchel,
[00:24:53] aided by former students they had in class at the convent, they jumped
[00:24:56] into a waiting car, the three runaway sisters escaped,
[00:25:00] we had called a locksmith to
[00:25:04] break the padlocks and open the doors of our convent and we succeeded,
[00:25:08] it was like a detective
[00:25:10] movie,
[00:25:14] their escape was a success, but their return was more
[00:25:17] bitter, during their 18 months of absence... their personal
[00:25:20] belongings had been removed, even this stairlift that has been
[00:25:24] replaced since.
[00:25:27] We had to climb like this, holding onto the railing and our arms.
[00:25:30] Imagine, there are eight floors here. Their
[00:25:34] hierarchy is furious but dares not do anything anymore. The story of their
[00:25:38] great escape has in the meantime moved everyone.
[00:25:41] Now, they are followed by thousands of people on social media. They
[00:25:45] even published a book titled "Not with
[00:25:48] us".
[00:25:52] to say that we fought against an injustice, because yes, what the church inflicted on us was unjust, when
[00:25:56] we say not with us, it means that our superiors deceived
[00:26:00] us and that we did not accept it.
[00:26:03] Today, the inhabitants of the village who mobilized for the
[00:26:06] return of the nuns and continue to help them are
[00:26:09] delighted,
[00:26:11] when I have a problem, their door is always
[00:26:13] open,
[00:26:16] they taught me an important thing, in life, you have to
[00:26:19] fight, at the end of April, they went to the
[00:26:23] Vatican to tell their story, Pope Leo
[00:26:26] XIV guaranteed them that they could now stay in their
[00:26:29] convent, they find it amusing, their faith. and their
[00:26:32] tenacity moved mountains and that's
[00:26:36] already the end of this edition, thank you for following us, see
[00:26:40] you soon on France
[00:26:41] 24,
[00:26:48] it was not drought that led us to famine, but the Russians who
[00:26:52] took everything we had in the
[00:26:53] granary,
[00:26:56] they came with a big truck, I still see it, on it there were
[00:27:00] bags they had taken from other houses.
[00:30:06] You are still on France 24, thank you for being with us, it is 7 p.m. in
[00:30:10] Paris, the opportunity to take another tour of world news,
[00:30:13] at the top, the death toll is rising in Ukraine,
[00:30:18] the night on Kyiv and its region, Volodymyr
[00:30:21] Zelensky denounced the use of ballistic missiles against
[00:30:24] civilian infrastructure, Moscow claims responsibility for the attacks, but
[00:30:28] says it targeted a fuel depot and a weapons factory, these
[00:30:31] attacks... which occur, as you can see, as the Ukrainian president makes
[00:30:35] his first visit to Russia.
[00:30:38] Russie.
[00:30:41] Tensions are high between Madrid and Rome, Spain announces it will
[00:30:45] implement border controls for travelers from
[00:30:49] Italy, a retaliatory measure identical to the one Rome had
[00:30:52] implemented following the Ceuta crisis. We will
[00:30:55] decipher this diplomatic crisis with...
