[00:00:02] having to fight for
[00:00:06] Hello everyone, Saturday, September 26th, thank you for choosing us to
[00:00:10] inform you, welcome to the continuation of the weekend news with,
[00:00:14] of course, the continuation of the visit to France by Leon 14,
[00:00:17] several significant events this Saturday morning,
[00:00:21] the head of the Catholic Church will
[00:00:24] on contact with
[00:00:25] distort the principle of visit a reception center dedicated to migrants in a
[00:00:27] Bangkok, the capital of
[00:00:28] warned against the dangers of precarious situation, a little later, a giant mass in Place de la
[00:00:30] Concorde, 60,000 people expected, in the evening,
[00:00:34] he will fly to Lourdes. On the first day of this historic trip,
[00:00:38] Leon 14 had a series of meetings and demonstrations, both
[00:00:41] religious, popular, and political. At UNESCO, at
[00:00:44] the Élysée, he warned against the dangers of AI, the scourge of war,
[00:00:48] surrogacy, or even end-of-life care. He also
[00:00:52] presented himself as a defender of secularism, but not the kind that
[00:00:55] excludes religion from the public
[00:01:25] moments for the rest of the
[00:01:30] Some 60,000 people are expected this Saturday in Place de la
[00:01:34] Concorde in Paris for this giant mass which will be said by Leon
[00:01:37] 14. On the second of the 4 days of his visit to France, the Pope's
[00:01:41] visit is expected to lead to a large popular demonstration, kicking
[00:01:44] off at 3 PM
[00:01:47] Paris time for an event poised to make history. Before
[00:01:51] this mass, the Pope will visit this morning around
[00:01:54] 9 AM the Bakita house, an institution
[00:01:57] dedicated to welcoming migrants in precarious situations. An
[00:02:01] opportunity for him to
[00:02:03] only on the quality of reaffirm his attachment to a subject dear to him: the reception of
[00:02:12] June, Leon 14 turns
[00:02:15] dangerous on towards the sea. He prays for all the migrants who died
[00:02:19] official confirmation from the attempting the crossing from the African coasts, a gesture with
[00:02:22] which he wants to restore their dignity to migrants, precisely in
[00:02:25] this port of Arginine, nicknamed Cais de la Honte (Port of Shame), because nearly
[00:02:29] material resources. We are at the heart of 3000.
[00:02:37] It is not enough to manage arrivals, to publish
[00:02:40] statistics, to strengthen borders or to deplore deaths
[00:02:44] after they have occurred.
[00:02:47] What kind of world have we built, if so many brothers and sisters must risk their
[00:02:51] lives to survive?
[00:02:54] A few weeks later, as the European Union hardens
[00:02:57] its migration policy, the Pope visits the Italian island of
[00:03:01] Lampedusa, which has become the symbol of the tragedy of migrants who died in the
[00:03:04] Mediterranean. After reflecting in a cemetery housing the graves
[00:03:08] of unidentified exiles, he urges the EU to better respond to the
[00:03:12] migration crisis.
[00:03:15] Europe is capable of addressing the crisis in this region in a
[00:03:19] global way, by integrating emergency actions into a
[00:03:22] long-term strategic plan, enabling
[00:03:25] to welcome, to protect, to
[00:03:29] support, and to integrate migrants.
[00:03:31] migrants.
[00:03:33] Leon 14 also denounced the massive expulsions in the United
[00:03:36] States and expressed his concern about the crisis in
[00:03:40] Ceuta. By committing to welcoming foreigners, he
[00:03:43] follows in the footsteps of his predecessors, notably Pope
[00:03:46] Francis, who in 2017 launched a call to
[00:03:51] unveiled its new single from welcome, protect, promote, and integrate
[00:03:53] all migrants in the name of a duty of civilization and
[00:03:57] solidarity. Following this call, the Diocese of Paris created
[00:04:01] for exiled people the Bakita house which Leon
[00:04:04] XIV chose to visit. It bears the
[00:04:07] name of Saint Josephine Bakita, a former slave
[00:04:10] of Sudanese origin, who became a nun in Italy in the 19th
[00:04:14] century, and who throughout her life promoted the
[00:04:17] dignity of each person.
[00:04:20] And we will be at the Bakita house shortly.
[00:04:24] Yesterday, the first day of this visit by Leon 14 delivered all its
[00:04:27] promises, if we can say so. Political, popular,
[00:04:30] and religious meetings followed one another in an atmosphere of fervor,
[00:04:34] whether at UNESCO or at the Stade de France, Leon 14 launched
[00:04:38] a number of appeals on war, end of life,
[00:04:41] secularism or
[00:04:50] historic and
[00:04:52] the fight against political visit, the first steps of Leon 14 in France were on
[00:04:55] a red carpet, from the tarmac of Orly to the court of...
[00:05:01] where the Pope gave an aggressive speech in
[00:05:05] French. I sometimes observe with
[00:05:07] concern the current excesses of
[00:05:10] societies that... risk diverting
[00:05:14] science and technology into
[00:05:16] lucrative ventures, favoring genetic
[00:05:20] manipulation, surrogacy, the
[00:05:22] purchase of organs, or
[00:05:26] the offer of programmed death.
[00:05:29] A jab 2 months after the adoption of the law on assisted dying in
[00:05:33] France, the sovereign pontiff also attacked those who
[00:05:37] secularism and
[00:05:40] artificial intelligence. The numerous communication channels
[00:05:44] risk multiplying false
[00:05:47] information and giving more importance to meaningless
[00:05:50] words, thus preventing dialogue rather than
[00:05:54] strengthening it. Artificial intelligence amplifies this
[00:05:58] problem. Such systems
[00:06:01] can use data, yes, but cannot
[00:06:05] answer questions about the meaning of human
[00:06:08] life. While Leon XIV embarks on his Popemobile,
[00:06:13] Parisians gather to catch a glimpse of him during his
[00:06:16] walk through streets full of fervor, a very young crowd, there are
[00:06:20] schools that have passed by, families all around, there are older people, there are
[00:06:23] handicapped people, in fact it's very very popular, very family-oriented, in fact all the
[00:06:27] people come to see a Pope who is, for some, a religious leader,
[00:06:31] for others, someone who inspires them, who gives them
[00:06:34] warmth in their hearts. After vespers at Notre Dame, the Pope
[00:06:38] ended his day at the Stade de France with a vigil in front
[00:06:42] of 80,000 young people gathered as if for a
[00:06:45] rockstar. I remind you that all France 24
[00:06:49] teams, all our editorial staff, whatever their medium,
[00:06:52] videos, photos, illustrations, remain
[00:06:56] mobilized to continue to bring you this visit of Leon
[00:06:59] 14. Special edition in less than an hour now with our
[00:07:03] journalists on the street, on the set, and our
[00:07:06] guests and
[00:07:07] consultants.
[00:07:11] According to the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump
[00:07:14] rejects the Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of
[00:07:18] Hormuz for 7 days and cease hostilities. The newspaper also
[00:07:21] believes that the US president is preparing to resume
[00:07:24] bombing Iran after the midterm elections in the United States. No
[00:07:28] demi-mandat aux États-Unis. Pas de
[00:07:31] White
[00:07:32] House.
[00:07:36] The escalation between Houthi fighters in Yemen and Saudi Arabia,
[00:07:40] despite daily Saudi bombings. The Houthis
[00:07:43] are increasing their assaults and are now able to target Riyadh.
[00:07:46] Two drones targeting the Saudi capital were
[00:07:50] intercepted, the coalition led by Saudi Arabia against the Houthis
[00:07:53] affirmed this Saturday. Saudi appeals to Donald
[00:07:57] Trump for military support have so far remained
[00:08:00] unanswered.
[00:08:03] Russia is not preparing for any kind of combat with
[00:08:07] Europe. Vladimir Putin once again refutes accusations,
[00:08:11] notably French ones, according to which Moscow is preparing to attack the European
[00:08:14] Union. He affirms, however, that his country will, I
[00:08:18] quote, "think carefully" before resuming talks with
[00:08:21] Ukraine. The Russian president was speaking on the sidelines of a
[00:08:24] culture forum in
[00:08:26] Saint Petersburg.
[00:08:29] Morocco now and this question: what government
[00:08:32] for the kingdom in the aftermath of the legislative
[00:08:35] elections won by the outgoing coalition, a victory
[00:08:38] marked by massive abstention,
[00:08:41] only 38% participation,
[00:08:44] consultations are underway, the decision of King Mohammed VI to
[00:08:48] appoint a new governmental team is highly anticipated, says Emilie
[00:08:52] Boul.
[00:08:55] In Morocco, the vote count is over, the outgoing
[00:08:58] coalition wins the legislative elections easily.
[00:09:01] main.
[00:09:04] The provisional results gave the following results: the Authenticity
[00:09:08] and Modernity party wins 97
[00:09:11] seats.
[00:09:19] 65 seats and the Justice and Development
[00:09:21] party
[00:09:24] 54 seats. Without an absolute majority, the Authenticity and
[00:09:28] Modernity party will have to form a
[00:09:30] coalition.
[00:09:33] The national coordinator of the party declared that he would only begin alliance negotiations
[00:09:37] once the King had appointed a head of
[00:09:39] government.
[00:09:42] has not been addressed. As a political party, we await
[00:09:46] the results, and we will only turn to alliances
[00:09:50] once our king has appointed the head of the next
[00:09:53] government, man or woman. A significant
[00:09:56] fact, the Justice and Development party, an Islamist
[00:09:59] opposition party, has quadrupled its number of seats,
[00:10:03] winning 54 compared to 13 previously. The party
[00:10:07] had notably campaigned on the fight against corruption, prioritizing
[00:10:10] purchasing power in its program.
[00:10:25] for the country's affairs to function correctly, particularly in terms of
[00:10:28] health, education, and employment. Youth abstention
[00:10:32] was one of the main issues of these elections, which were held less
[00:10:35] than 2 months after the Ceuta migration crisis. Despite the efforts of the
[00:10:39] parties, the participation rate was only 38%, one of
[00:10:43] the lowest rates recorded in 20 years. Also in
[00:10:46] international news, these images that reached us from
[00:10:52] Thailand, literally underwater. Consequence of these
[00:10:56] torrential rains that have fallen on the region
[00:10:59] since last Thursday, 300 mm of
[00:11:02] precipitation, according to estimates, the water continues to rise,
[00:11:06] the canals are overflowing, a state of emergency has been declared
[00:11:09] in the 50 districts of the
[00:11:12] city.
[00:11:14] In Brazil, a gamble of sorts from the presidential candidate
[00:11:18] Lula, 9 days before the first round of a presidential election that
[00:11:21] promises to be very close. Citing public health reasons, and because
[00:11:25] according to him, it causes
[00:11:29] indebtedness, he has decided to ban
[00:11:32] online sports betting. The platforms that offer them have
[00:11:36] exploded in the country in recent years. The measure concerns
[00:11:39] many sports clubs, 3/4 of Brazilians were
[00:11:42] in favor of it. The opposition led by Flavio
[00:11:45] Bolsonaro denounces a desperate decision
[00:11:49] to win
[00:11:51] votes.
[00:11:54] Back in France, this Saturday will be marked, in addition to the Pope's visit,
[00:11:57] by the return of climate marches,
[00:12:00] 260 mobilizations across the country to demand answers from
[00:12:04] Emmanuel Macron according to the site 26
[00:12:07] September.org, theme of the demonstrations
[00:12:10] for the climate, for life, for peace, for social justice,
[00:12:14] the organizers are also demanding emergency measures, especially fiscal ones, to
[00:12:18] combat the consequences of climate change. These
[00:12:21] climate marches are taking place in the wake of a summer
[00:12:25] of heat and fires in France, and
[00:12:29] indeed, in addition to these marches, firefighters will
[00:12:32] also demonstrate this
[00:12:35] Saturday. Watch this report on their
[00:12:38] demands.
[00:12:41] These Var firefighters continue to carry out their mission, but they have been on
[00:12:45] strike for over 2 weeks, still marked by the fires of this summer
[00:12:49] in their department, they denounce a lack of human and
[00:12:54] the action. We are 1 meter from the flames and there are not many means of protection, just
[00:12:58] a small hood, a hood that costs 12 euros. The
[00:13:01] events of the season highlighted
[00:13:04] the difficulties we encountered and the opportunity is now through this strike
[00:13:07] movement to convey the message. The main
[00:13:10] demand of their union, 21,000 additional
[00:13:13] recruitments, an increase of nearly 50% in the number of
[00:13:17] professional firefighters. They are called to converge on Paris for 3
[00:13:20] days of demonstration. On Tuesday, they will join the public service
[00:13:24] procession to denounce notably the freeze of the index point
[00:13:27] decided by the government which blocks salary increases.
[00:13:31] Today, there is no salary increase
[00:13:34] or improvement in our working conditions for years, so we are fully concerned by
[00:13:37] the revaluation of the index point, just like our
[00:13:41] healthcare colleagues, teachers. The mobilization
[00:13:44] could reach the levels of October 2019, when at least 7,000
[00:13:48] firefighters demonstrated in Paris.
[00:14:32] You will certainly have known Bono in his
[00:14:36] works, if you have just joined us, before moving on to the next part, to sports, more
[00:14:39] precisely, a reminder of the main headlines that we are developing in this
[00:14:43] weekend edition, starting with the continuation of Leon
[00:14:47] 14's visit to France, several meetings mark this Saturday. In the
[00:14:50] morning, the head of the Catholic Church will visit a reception
[00:14:54] center for... migrants, in a precarious situation, we will be on site,
[00:14:57] it will be the Bakita house, a little later, a giant mass, Place de la
[00:15:01] Concorde, 6000 people expected, in the
[00:15:05] evening, he will fly to Lourdes. On the first day
[00:15:08] of this historic trip, Leon 14 had a series of meetings,
[00:15:12] demonstrations, both religious, popular, and political. At
[00:15:15] UNESCO, at the Élysée, at the Stade de France, he warned against the
[00:15:19] dangers of AI, the scourge of war, surrogacy, or even
[00:15:23] end-of-life care. He also presented himself as a defender of
[00:15:26] secularism, but not the kind that excludes religion from the
[00:15:30] public sphere.
[00:15:33] Also in the news, sports and the debut of Zinedine Zidane as
[00:15:37] coach of the French team. A 1-0 victory against
[00:15:40] Turkey in the Nations League, a victory from a goal by Kylian Mbappé, forced
[00:15:44] to leave due to injury and withdraw from the
[00:15:47] national team as a
