[00:00:07] Good evening everyone, you are watching the main news on France 24. The far-right is
[00:00:11] once again leading a regional election in Germany, the AfD is projected to win in
[00:00:15] Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. German Chancellor
[00:00:18] Friedrich Merz, for his part, acknowledges a disaster for his party, the
[00:00:21] CDU, which failed to enter the regional
[00:00:23] parliament. Another election in Russia where Vladimir
[00:00:27] all major technological revolutions, from Putin's party, United Russia, wins the legislative elections without
[00:00:31] surprise, a vote however disrupted by numerous drone attacks from Ukraine,
[00:00:35] Moscow promises to intensify its strikes against Kiev in
[00:00:38] response. Finally, Emmanuel Macron and Canadian
[00:00:42] Prime Minister Mark Carney in a tête-à-tête in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, the two leaders say
[00:00:45] they want to strengthen ties between their two countries, two independent
[00:00:48] nations who want to remain so, they specified, a clear message
[00:00:52] addressed to Donald
[00:00:53] Trump.
[00:01:08] weeks after the victory of the far-right in Saxony
[00:01:12] Anhalt, the AfD is once again leading in Mecklenburg
[00:01:15] Western Pomerania, it is also making strong progress in
[00:01:19] Berlin, a bitter
[00:01:22] interpretation of what a young girl of failure for the CDU of Chancellor Friedrich Merz who speaks of a catastrophe for his
[00:01:25] party, Jules
[00:01:26] Boêteau.
[00:01:35] extravagant stories: "Let
[00:01:52] More than four and a half years after the start of
[00:02:00] govern this region of northeastern Germany, if the AfD finds allies to
[00:02:03] reach a majority, because just behind are the
[00:02:07] Social Democrats of the SPD,
[00:02:09] far, far from the CDU of Fredric
[00:02:12] Merz. At the announcement of the first results this Sunday
[00:02:15] evening, all eyes turned
[00:02:19] hated queen in French to the chancellery as a departure of the German leader in case of a debacle had been envisaged, but
[00:02:23] exceptionally for a regional election, the Chancellor
[00:02:26] preferred to cut short the rumors by speaking out.
[00:02:30] first, to acknowledge a historic defeat.
[00:02:34] We cannot sugarcoat the result obtained in Mecklenburg, it
[00:02:38] is a disaster, but reforms must go forward. We
[00:02:41] take responsibility for these reforms.
[00:02:44] I personally take this responsibility, because I want
[00:02:48] to move our country forward. A Chancellor
[00:02:51] more weakened than ever, but who remains in power while in
[00:02:55] the other election of the day in Berlin, the CDU was also beaten by
[00:02:58] the radical left of... Link who could take over the mayoralty in case
[00:03:02] of an alliance with other left-wing
[00:03:03] arrival at this Oklahoma probably be one of the first historical figures parties. A vote also marked by the
[00:03:07] good score of the AfD, which marks a good
[00:03:11] advance and its best historical result in the
[00:03:15] access to the Queen's very secret capital. And a sign of the CDU's debacle, Friedrich Merz's party
[00:03:19] failed to enter the Mecklenburg parliament, it
[00:03:22] did not manage to reach the elimination threshold of 5
[00:03:26] %. Emmanuel Macron received the Prime Minister this Sunday.
[00:03:30] Our Canadian Mark Carney, the meeting took place on the French archipelago of Saint-Pierre
[00:03:34] and Miquelon located off Canada, and the two men say
[00:03:37] they want to strengthen ties between their two countries, particularly on issues of
[00:03:41] security and energy. Jules
[00:03:43] Boateau:
[00:03:46] this is an embrace that aims to be highly
[00:03:48] symbolic. Emmanuel Macron welcomes Marc
[00:03:52] Carney to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, a first for a Canadian
[00:03:55] Prime Minister. The French archipelago in the North
[00:03:58] Atlantic, a key place in the new cooperation that the two
[00:04:02] countries want to seal in a context of tension with
[00:04:05] Washington. This meeting comes a few weeks
[00:04:08] after these publications by Donald Trump where Canada,
[00:04:12] Greenland and Saint-Pierre
[00:04:15] Charles, Lady's and Miquelon were placed under American flag. Yes, we believe
[00:04:17] together that our countries are two great
[00:04:21] independent nations and want to remain
[00:04:24] so. We both believe in democracy,
[00:04:27] the rule of law, respect for international law. national,
[00:04:31] respect for free and fair trade,
[00:04:35] the science on which our decisions
[00:04:37] rest and the strategic autonomy that we
[00:04:40] defend. In addition to its symbolic scope, new
[00:04:44] partnerships have also been announced between France and Canada
[00:04:48] in the areas of climate, energy and
[00:04:51] space.
[00:04:53] We have tasked our space agencies and our defense ministries to develop and share
[00:04:57] common infrastructures, notably systems.
[00:05:01] The two leaders also discussed relations between Canada and the European Union
[00:05:05] as Brussels has paved the way for Ottawa to become the
[00:05:09] first associate member of the EU.
[00:05:12] to get closer to Europe, to move away from Donald
[00:05:15] Trump's United States, that is the message sent before the United
[00:05:19] Nations General Assembly, this week in New
[00:05:21] York.
[00:05:23] In Russia, Vladimir Putin's United Russia party is,
[00:05:27] not surprisingly, declared the winner of the legislative elections held this
[00:05:30] weekend, a vote marked by numerous Ukrainian drone attacks
[00:05:33] and cyberattacks, Jules
[00:05:36] Boêteau. According to the mayor of Moscow, it is
[00:05:39] an unprecedented Ukrainian offensive. the Russian capital
[00:05:43] and its region were targeted by several hundred Ukrainian
[00:05:46] drones, and if most were intercepted, several
[00:05:50] escaped Russian anti-aircraft defense and notably struck
[00:05:53] several floors of a residential building in the capital or
[00:05:57] this oil refinery. other
[00:05:59] devices fell in this residential area of Sofino in the Moscow
[00:06:03] region, causing casualties and significant
[00:06:05] damage.
[00:06:08] I was coming out of my building, I had walked about twenty steps from the entrance when...
[00:06:21] There were injured people, probably even dead, but we can't be sure, the
[00:06:25] rescuers who arrived on the scene did not let us
[00:06:27] approach.
[00:06:36] A series of Russian strikes on more than 36 killed several people on Saturday
[00:06:39] and Sunday, including children.
[00:06:43] This offensive also comes on the third and last day of voting in Russia
[00:06:47] and has been denounced by the authorities as aiming to disrupt the
[00:06:50] smooth running of the election. In the Kherson region, in
[00:06:54] southern Ukraine, controlled by Russia, a drone notably
[00:06:58] killed several people, including an employee of the electoral
[00:07:01] commission.
[00:07:04] the large-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, in a
[00:07:08] context of repression of all forms of opposition, Vladimir
[00:07:11] Putin's party, not surprisingly, was announced
[00:07:14] the winner of the election on Sunday
[00:07:16] evening.
[00:07:20] This Sunday, September 20, was World Cleanup Day. For several
[00:07:23] years now in France, hundreds of thousands of people have participated, resulting in
[00:07:27] hundreds of tons of waste collected.
[00:07:30] Report from Marseille, Toulouse, and Valenciennes with Noémie
[00:07:34] Daon. There, perfect. At the end of
[00:07:36] these tongs, a first cigarette butt to track the...
[00:07:40] objective: identify
[00:08:12] "Angeoliver", pieces, it has an litter and fight against river pollution.
[00:08:16] Very quickly,
[00:08:18] a piece of waste will
[00:08:22] release its chemical molecules and degrade in the water. Like this tire
[00:08:26] salvaged, car parts, we also find
[00:08:30] some near Marseille in this commercial area. I even found a magnificent
[00:08:34] IV, it really has everything, you wouldn't necessarily
[00:08:38] expect it. These young girls woke up early to participate in this
[00:08:42] big clean-up, maybe it will make people realize that you don't throw cigarette butts
[00:08:46] on the ground, that there are still bins for
[00:08:49] cardboard, metal and
[00:08:52] plastic, we're going to separate everything, because among the waste
[00:08:55] found, some can be recycled, last
[00:08:59] year, 434 tons of
[00:09:02] litter were collected all over
[00:09:04] France.
[00:09:07] it's a book that hasn't come out yet, and yet it's already making a lot of noise in the
[00:09:11] UK, Charles... Spencer, Princess Diana's brother
[00:09:14] is publishing his memoirs, some excerpts have already appeared in the
[00:09:18] press. Odyle Longuevalle and Benjamin De Lombre tell us
[00:09:21] more. There's Charles,
[00:09:24] the ex-husband, and
[00:09:27] brother. Two men, one woman,
[00:09:31] and a phrase that 30 years later, shakes
[00:09:34] the United Kingdom. It would have been uttered by the king prince
[00:09:38] at the time, to his brother-in-law during an argument just
[00:09:42] after Diana's death,
[00:09:45] he said: "We will soon forget her," and after a stunned silence,
[00:09:49] I replied, "I can't believe you just said
[00:09:52] that." A conversation revealed in the
[00:09:55] memoirs of Diana's brother, a 400-page
[00:09:58] book intended, according to him, to re-establish the
[00:10:01] truth about his sister, it provoked a
[00:10:04] denial as swift as it was unusual from Buckingham
[00:10:07] Palace. His Majesty is aware that the pain
[00:10:10] of fraternal grief can obscure reason, alter judgment,
[00:10:14] and distort memories, and the brother ironized, "It's
[00:10:18] not every day that you wake up to find that the king has tried to make you out to be someone
[00:10:22] whose memories are not reliable." exchanges
[00:10:25] relayed by divided newspapers,
[00:10:29] "Monstrous" headlines this tabloid, "Why
[00:10:32] is he doing this to the king now?" asks another, among the
[00:10:35] British people, each to his own
[00:10:37] camp, "I think he's just doing this to sell his
[00:10:41] books, I don't believe what he says,"
[00:10:44] "King Charles treated Diana so badly, I think he could have said
[00:10:48] that, I believe her brother." Nearly
[00:10:50] 30 years after her death, Lady D continues to unleash
[00:10:54] passions. Even before the release of her brother's book,
[00:10:57] four copies were stolen from a truck in the Netherlands for
[00:11:01] reasons still unknown.
[00:11:04] And that's the end of this newscast, thank you for your attention, information continues on
[00:11:08] France 24, I wish you all an excellent week.
[00:23:51] He can already greet you upon your
[00:23:53] hotel or answer your questions in nearly
[00:23:57] 50 languages in this airport lobby, when he's not
[00:24:00] managing a tech fair
[00:24:02] booth alone.
[00:24:08] The one who even makes the headlines on television
[00:24:09] news
[00:24:13] was born in these premises in the Bay of San
[00:24:15] Francisco.
[00:24:18] At only 23 years old, David is the father of this robot and
[00:24:22] co-founder of a startup.
[00:24:25] Can you introduce a bot to our viewers?
[00:24:38] In 2024, David drops out of his studies at the prestigious
[00:24:42] Stanford University to develop humanoids, robots
[00:24:45] designed to imitate
[00:24:46] humans.
[00:24:50] a year and a half ago with just one robot, without even knowing exactly what we were going
[00:24:53] to build, we kept moving forward and deploying our robots in public
[00:24:57] places to understand how they could integrate into our
[00:25:00] society. Today, with about twenty
[00:25:03] employees, he has developed several robots, distinct
[00:25:06] personalities capable of producing, by analyzing the reactions of their
[00:25:10] interlocutors, a fluid and
[00:25:13] personalized conversation.
[00:25:20] The challenge is not to make this robot talk, it is to
[00:25:23] enable it to interact with humans naturally in a social
[00:25:26] context, it must understand social codes and
[00:25:30] behave like a human being, what you see today is just a
[00:25:33] beginning, our goal is to create robots with capabilities
[00:25:37] comparable to those of humans, not only to perform tasks, but
[00:25:40] also on the social and emotional aspect so that they can
[00:25:44] accompany us in practically every
[00:25:45] situation.
[00:25:50] robots capable of replacing us at work and at home, with
[00:25:54] the rise of artificial intelligence, a scenario that is increasingly
[00:25:57] probable. Around the world, some forty companies
[00:26:01] are working seriously to develop humanoids, and this market could be worth nearly
[00:26:04] 38 billion dollars in 10 years, enough to create a wave of panic in many
[00:26:08] sectors where these machines could perform most of the tasks
[00:26:12] currently performed by humans, but for this professor of
[00:26:15] economic forecasts, one should not draw hasty
[00:26:19] conclusions. Historically, it would be a complete anomaly if this
[00:26:23] technological innovation did not eliminate some jobs while creating
[00:26:26] others. This has happened during
[00:26:30] the agricultural revolution to the different phases of...
[00:26:32] the industrial revolution, what is new is that the jobs of tomorrow remain
[00:26:36] largely unknown and are still speculative. If you asked
[00:26:39] a farmer 200 years ago what our current professions look like, it would seem
[00:26:43] totally fantastic and
[00:26:44] incomprehensible to him.
[00:26:47] And these new jobs are already
[00:26:49] emerging.
[00:26:53] In Los Angeles, Daryl Luddell is a music
[00:26:56] teacher.
[00:27:00] To make ends meet, he used to string together odd jobs in his free
[00:27:04] time, but for the past few weeks, between two
[00:27:07] classes,
[00:27:13] the ritual is a bit peculiar,
[00:27:17] with his phone glued to his head, Daryl will
[00:27:20] film himself for an hour doing household chores for about twenty
[00:27:24] dollars, the objective being to produce the data that
[00:27:27] will be used to train the artificial intelligence of future
[00:27:30] robots, and for the video to be validated, no room for
[00:27:34] error.
[00:27:36] I keep my hands straight so that they remain visible in the
[00:27:39] image. If, for example, I do this, I'm
[00:27:43] almost certain they're no longer in the frame. I'm
[00:27:47] cleaning, but my hands are off-screen. Whereas if I do
[00:27:50] this, our clients get exactly the images they're looking for. It's quite
[00:27:54] surreal to find yourself at home in a familiar environment,
[00:27:57] doing household chores that you would otherwise do for free, but this time
[00:28:01] while being paid. For me, it's mostly an
[00:28:03] opportunity.
[00:28:06] For Instawork, the platform that offers these missions, there is no
[00:28:10] doubt that the demand for this type of work will
[00:28:12] explode.
[00:28:16] The data needs are almost infinite.
[00:28:19] Specialists estimate that it will take tens, even hundreds of
[00:28:23] thousands of years of accumulated data to train these
[00:28:25] systems. So this is not an activity that will last a
[00:28:29] week, a month, or even a year. I think this
[00:28:33] market will experience considerable
[00:28:34] considérable,
[00:28:40] By 2035, more than a million humanoid robots could
[00:28:44] be in service worldwide, according to a study by Goldman
[00:28:47] that promises to profoundly
[00:28:50] profondeur notre façon de
[00:28:52] life.
[00:30:07] Good evening everyone, you are watching the essential on France 24, the far-right
[00:30:11] again leading a regional election in Germany, the AfD is predicted to win in
[00:30:14] Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, German Chancellor
[00:30:17] Friedrich Merz acknowledges a disaster for his party, the
[00:30:21] CDU, which failed to enter the regional parliament.
[00:30:25] Another election in Russia where Vladimir Putin's party, United Russia, unsurprisingly
[00:30:28] won the legislative elections, an election however disrupted by many.
[00:30:32] drone attacks from Ukraine, Moscow promises
[00:30:35] to intensify its strikes against Kyiv in
[00:30:38] Emmanuel Macron and Canadian
[00:30:41] Prime Minister Marc Carney in a one-on-one in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, the two leaders say they
[00:30:45] want to strengthen ties between their two countries, two independent nations that
[00:30:49] wish to remain so, they specified, a clear message
[00:30:52] addressed to Donald
[00:30:53] Trump.
