[00:00:08] Live from here, welcome. We'll be together until
[00:00:11] 2 PM. Two German regions are voting today, and the stakes are so high that the
[00:00:14] Chancellor canceled his trip to New
[00:00:16] the destruction of almost the entire York. He called an emergency meeting. The AFD could
[00:00:19] make new gains after its victory in Saxony-Anhalt,
[00:00:22] even if the far-left is very
[00:00:24] profession without hindrance or interference mobilized in Berlin. The tension
[00:00:27] is high in Russia on the last day of the legislative election. Ukraine launched
[00:00:31] a very large-scale attack, particularly in Moscow. A
[00:00:34] candidate died in the east, four people including
[00:00:37] three children lost their lives in
[00:00:40] Ukraine.
[00:00:42] As every year, the Heritage Days are a success with thousands of
[00:00:46] monuments accessible to the public to explore our history and
[00:00:50] our traditions. You can also discover the projects led
[00:00:54] by
[00:00:54] enthusiasts.
[00:01:05] For its part, Washington, which
[00:01:09] The German Chancellor is ready to act as soon as the first results are announced. A
[00:01:13] crisis meeting of his conservative party is already planned for
[00:01:17] tonight. Two German states are voting today and the AFD could very well
[00:01:20] register new gains after its historic victory in Saxony-Anhalt
[00:01:24] 2 weeks ago. Gains are nonetheless less significant,
[00:01:28] perhaps notably because in Berlin... the head of the radical left list
[00:01:31] is considered the favorite, Léo
[00:01:33] Péchar.
[00:01:36] She presents herself as the antidote to the AFD. At 45
[00:01:39] years old, Eliferalp has every chance of becoming the
[00:01:43] first woman of immigrant origin
[00:01:46] the first actor to to win a regional election and conquer the mayoralty of Berlin. We will
[00:01:50] show that a left-wing policy serving citizens, a solidarity policy that
[00:01:54] guarantees justice, can be crowned with success. And I hope that this
[00:01:58] will spread throughout Germany and the whole world, that people will regain hope that we
[00:02:02] life-size replica of a ship from can oppose something to the right, namely our solidarity, our
[00:02:05] diversity and our fight for equal rights and financial
[00:02:09] accessibility. Daughters of Turkish parents who fled their country
[00:02:13] after the 1980 military coup, this
[00:02:16] lawyer is often compared to Zoran Mamdani, Democratic mayor of New
[00:02:20] York. Like him, the radical left candidate puts the
[00:02:23] issue of housing at the heart of her campaign, as Berlin
[00:02:27] rents have exploded in the last 15 years.
[00:02:30] Among her flagship proposals, capping them and especially
[00:02:34] nationalizing 22,000 housing
[00:02:37] units belonging to large real estate investors. The measure
[00:02:41] worries banks, but it is supported by Berliners who
[00:02:44] voted in its favor in a referendum in
[00:02:47] 2021. This is precisely what we are trying to
[00:02:51] achieve, an affordable Berlin, an affordable Berlin
[00:02:54] where everyone can finally live in dignity again, whatever their
[00:02:58] origin, the person they love.
[00:03:09] bad results could further weaken the position of
[00:03:14] Chancellor Fredrichmerz already in great
[00:03:15] difficulty.
[00:03:19] 3rd and last day of voting in Russia to renew the Duma and the capital
[00:03:24] license to kill for law enforcement, suffered a vast attack by Ukrainian drones, no casualties in
[00:03:28] Moscow but two people were killed, including a candidate, in a
[00:03:32] region occupied by Russia. Since
[00:03:35] Saturday, Russia has shot down more than 1600
[00:03:39] drones, so the rumor about an upcoming mobilization
[00:03:43] is persistent and is pushing young people to
[00:03:52] sealed, the suitcase packed. This 28-year-old
[00:03:55] marketing specialist is ready to leave his country, with a heavy
[00:03:59] heart. It's very sad to leave Russia, my
[00:04:02] family lives here, as do my elderly grandparents, and I would like to spend the
[00:04:06] remaining years of their lives with them, years that I hope
[00:04:09] will be long. A baggage check before
[00:04:12] taking the train to the Georgian border. The
[00:04:16] last kilometers to the checkpoint are by
[00:04:19] car. On the road, dozens of abandoned
[00:04:22] vehicles, mostly from 2022. Many
[00:04:25] Russians had fled the country en masse after Moscow announced a
[00:04:29] mobilization.
[00:05:00] Although the scale of this exodus is not comparable to 2022, an
[00:05:03] organization assisting these exiled Russians indicates that it received
[00:05:07] 8 times more requests in August than in May. Among the
[00:05:11] refuge countries are Georgia and
[00:05:13] Armenia. Since mid-July, there has been a
[00:05:17] wave of panic from Russia, linked to the risk of
[00:05:20] mobilization, fuel shortages and internet
[00:05:24] disruptions. People are living in undignified conditions, and
[00:05:27] this time they are leaving well in advance, because they have seen what happened during previous
[00:05:31] waves. A migratory crisis is looming in Armenia, if
[00:05:35] we are not already in the middle of it.
[00:05:38] The Secretary of the Security Council of the Armenian government
[00:05:42] declared that the country would help if necessary, these newly
[00:05:46] settled Russians on the territory, remarks
[00:05:49] deemed provocative by the Russian Minister of Foreign
[00:05:52] Affairs.
[00:05:54] There were also deadly attacks by Russian drones in Ukraine in the
[00:05:58] Kyiv region, it was learned that four people
[00:06:02] had been killed, among them, a mother, her two children and
[00:06:05] another child died in these
[00:06:08] strikes.
[00:06:10] Saudi Arabia is leaking... little information about the attacks the
[00:06:14] kingdom has been suffering for several days.
[00:06:17] refused to provide military support to Riyadh on the Yemeni
[00:06:20] front, fears a rapid escalation of hostilities to the
[00:06:24] point that Donald Trump cut short his weekend at Camp
[00:06:27] David. The Houthi advance towards
[00:06:30] eastern Yemen, in eastern Yemen is Saudi
[00:06:34] Arabia. More than 120,000 people
[00:06:38] have been displaced since the resumption of
[00:06:41] fighting. Emmanuel Macron continues his
[00:06:45] trip to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, he meets today with the Canadian
[00:06:48] Prime Minister, this visit is an opportunity for the French President to remind that the territory
[00:06:52] is French, even if Donald Trump places an American flag
[00:07:03] Emmanuel Macron insists on dotting the i's. Saint-Pierre and
[00:07:06] Miquelon is indeed French territory. The question was never
[00:07:09] asked, so we're
[00:07:13] not going to assert it every morning just because people have strange ideas or say strange
[00:07:16] things, it's obvious. A direct response to Donald Trump who
[00:07:20] had published on his social networks these maps covering
[00:07:23] all of North America with an American flag, including Saint-Pierre and
[00:07:26] Miquelon. More than ever, Emmanuel Macron wants to reaffirm France's
[00:07:30] strategic position in the face of Donald Trump's covetousness.
[00:07:33] Saint-Pierre and Miquelon is only located a few days by sea from Greenland,
[00:07:37] a Danish territory, also long coveted by Donald Trump
[00:07:41] and over which the United States concluded an agreement a few days ago,
[00:07:45] Emmanuel Macron welcomes it. I simply note that Danish
[00:07:48] sovereignty is respected, that international
[00:07:51] law is respected and that this is what we asked for, so it's a good
[00:07:55] thing and it's what both the Danes and
[00:07:59] for asked for so it's very
[00:08:02] good. Another message sent to the United States, Emmanuel Macron
[00:08:06] is to host in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, the Prime Minister of Canada, a
[00:08:09] country also regularly threatened by Donald
[00:08:12] Trump. In French news, the mobilization
[00:08:16] against the proposed law establishing a presumption of legitimate defense for the
[00:08:20] police continues in Rennes. Clashes took place yesterday on the
[00:08:23] sidelines of the demonstration. The Minister of
[00:08:26] Interior had called on prefects to be vigilant, Margerie
[00:08:29] Lemeur. When yesterday, they were a
[00:08:33] hundred to denounce what they call a
[00:08:36] a reference to the proposed law adopted by the
[00:08:40] National Assembly in July. For 313 against
[00:08:44] 199, the National Assembly adopted.
[00:08:47] Until now, law enforcement officers could shoot in case of imminent danger during
[00:08:51] pursuits or refusal to comply. With this new
[00:08:54] text, they would benefit from a presumption of legitimate
[00:08:57] defense, a necessary measure according to this police
[00:09:00] union. The current situation means that there is such colossal
[00:09:03] pressure on the police officer that we have colleagues who don't even dare
[00:09:07] to shoot in situations where shooting is nevertheless
[00:09:10] perfectly legitimate, so if the law is not able to support
[00:09:14] the police officer in his action, yes it handicaps the police officer, but
[00:09:18] it is also something that is detrimental to everyone.
[00:09:21] In case of shooting, the police officer or gendarme will not be taken into
[00:09:25] custody and the investigation may not be opened immediately, which this
[00:09:28] lawyer deplores. We know that in terms of police
[00:09:31] violence, the first 48 hours are
[00:09:34] fundamental, why? because all the evidence tends
[00:09:38] to disappear, simply because they are police officers
[00:09:42] who will investigate police officers and therefore there is a corporatism
[00:09:46] effect and protection among police officers, the proposed
[00:09:50] law is to be examined by the Senate in October.
[00:09:54] So it's effective, the media banned from the White
[00:09:57] House couldn't enter, the decision had been made yesterday by Donald
[00:10:01] Trump, less than 6 weeks before the midterm elections, the president wants to control the
[00:10:04] narrative, but he could well
[00:10:13] could cross the gates of the White House to do their
[00:10:16] job, but this Saturday, they were stopped at
[00:10:19] the entrance and are now forced to broadcast live from the
[00:10:23] sidewalk, this measure comes
[00:10:25] the day after Donald Trump announced his intention to ban access to
[00:10:28] the White House for CNN, MS
[00:10:32] Now, and Politico. The three media
[00:10:35] outlets accused of spreading false information by the
[00:10:38] president, denounce their eviction and intend to
[00:10:42] challenge it in court. The US Constitution
[00:10:45] guarantees us the right to exercise our
[00:10:49] from the government, and this ban constitutes an illegal
[00:10:52] infringement of this fundamental right.
[00:10:55] We will not be deterred from our duty to hold governments
[00:10:58] accountable. Donald Trump's decision was sharply
[00:11:01] criticized, notably by the White House Correspondents' Association
[00:11:05] which gathers journalists accredited by the
[00:11:07] presidency. Today's action revoking access for
[00:11:10] CNN, Politico and MS Now journalists violates
[00:11:14] the First Amendment. The American people, through a free and independent
[00:11:17] press, must be able to question those elected to power, regardless of whether
[00:11:21] government officials are favorable or not. The White
[00:11:25] House association calls on the administration to immediately restore access for our
[00:11:28] colleagues. Since his return to power, the American president
[00:11:32] has multiplied attacks against the press. He accuses these three
[00:11:35] media outlets of spreading false information under the pretext that they are not
[00:11:39] favorable to him. When you
[00:11:41] watch CNN, it's simply false. That's why their
[00:11:45] ratings are not good. When you watch MSNBC, which was formerly
[00:11:49] called MSNBC and which some call MS DNC
[00:11:52] for Democratic National Committee. This is false information.
[00:11:56] The Trump administration has already banned from the Oval Office and Air Force
[00:12:00] One, the Associated Press agency, its only fault,
[00:12:04] having refused to rename the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of
[00:12:07] America, as the real estate mogul wishes. The agency
[00:12:11] challenged this decision in court, the procedure is still
[00:12:14] ongoing. Continue to enjoy this beautiful day in
[00:12:18] France to discover the treasures your region offers. The Heritage Days
[00:12:21] continue near Dunkirk, for example, there is this
[00:12:27] Louis XIV's navy on which
[00:12:30] enthusiasts have been working
[00:12:39] sea monster, it's an old ogre of the
[00:12:42] seas, the Jean-Bart, a mythical ship. It's
[00:12:46] been almost 25 years since artisans have been working hard to reproduce
[00:12:50] it and highlight ancient techniques. The main interest of the site is
[00:12:54] to come and discover the construction of the ship with the old
[00:12:57] crafts, so for example forging, naval carpentry which are the two crafts that are most
[00:13:01] exploited today, and to have children who come with schools, to have people who
[00:13:04] come to visit and this educational transmission of old
[00:13:08] crafts. In its construction engravings like this one serve
[00:13:11] as an example and hint at the scale of a boat and its gigantic
[00:13:15] hull of 57 meters, dimensions
[00:13:19] that look like a challenge for these volunteers. The smallest piece is about 600
[00:13:23] kg, these are the pieces up there above us that are part of the skeleton so
[00:13:26] uh today we have modern tools, that's true, we have big cranes,
[00:13:30] we have tractors, but you have to think that at the time they did it by
[00:13:33] hand. A boat worthy of the king who
[00:13:37] sailed with it, Louis XIV himself, in a few
[00:13:40] years it will be the largest wooden sailing ship navigable in the
[00:13:43] world, yet it will never take
[00:13:46] to sea, a deliberate choice to allow everyone the leisure to
[00:13:50] contemplate it.
[00:13:53] That was the main news. We are together until 2 p.m., you are watching Paris live.
[00:30:25] two German regions are voting today and the stakes are so high that the Chancellor canceled his
[00:30:28] departure for New York he convened. an emergency meeting tonight,
[00:30:32] the AFD could make new gains after its victory in Saxony,
[00:30:36] even if the far-left is very mobilized in
[00:30:40] Berlin. Tension is high in Russia, on the last
[00:30:43] day of the legislative elections, Ukraine carried out a very large-scale
[00:30:46] attack, particularly in Moscow, a candidate
[00:30:50] died in the east of the country, four people.
[00:30:53] du pays, quatre personnes.
