[00:00:07] It's 1 p.m. in Paris. Welcome,
[00:00:09] Formerly known as the Venice of we continue to follow the visit of Leon XIV in France. The faithful are increasingly
[00:00:12] numerous in Place de la Concorde, on the Champs-Élysées and everywhere else,
[00:00:16] including opposite the National Assembly. It's quite
[00:00:19] impressive. The Pope will celebrate an XXL mass starting at
[00:00:23] 3 p.m. We will meet Anne Corpe and Marie Chester, both
[00:00:27] located at key points
[00:00:30] Bishop of Rome, thus of the site. This morning, the Pope had many meetings. He
[00:00:33] spoke with ecumenical groups after visiting a center for the reception and integration
[00:00:36] of exiled people. He called for living together in dignity
[00:00:40] jets, stopping subsidizing with and peace. We will talk about it with Constance Colona, Cesar, who is
[00:01:04] that was the main news, we're taking
[00:01:10] The faithful have therefore begun to pray in Place de la Concorde and on the Champs-Élysées. They
[00:01:13] key moments in the life of Jesus. They
[00:01:17] still have 2 hours to wait before the mass begins. The Pope
[00:01:21] will descend the Champs-Élysées from 2:15 p.m.
[00:01:25] When fighting against climate change, political We find Marie Chester in the crowd on the Champs.
[00:01:28] Marie, hello! The crowd is becoming more and more compact
[00:01:32] even though there are still nearly 2 hours to wait
[00:01:35] for this... yes, indeed, there are
[00:01:38] still 2 hours to wait. These 2 hours during
[00:01:42] which we have the possibility of praying
[00:01:46] with the
[00:01:48] dignity, respect for Kateo television channel which broadcasts a certain number of prayers, and
[00:01:52] then you can see it perhaps behind me, all along the Champs-Élysées from the Arc de Triomphe
[00:01:56] to Place de la Concorde.
[00:02:22] political awakening during the
[00:02:38] alive, vibrant, open, and diverse, it was
[00:02:41] important, and then to receive the Pope in
[00:02:44] France, it's a real joy, so I wanted to be present. In what way is this a
[00:02:48] historic moment for you? Had you seen other Popes before him?
[00:02:52] Well yes, I'm well over 30 years old, so I had
[00:02:56] the opportunity as a student to welcome
[00:02:59] John Paul II during World Youth Day. I have very
[00:03:03] strong memories of it. But since I was born, I think the Pope has
[00:03:06] come to France three times, and maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think
[00:03:10] so. And so it was important to be
[00:03:12] present. How do you, as a Catholic, feel about the fact that more
[00:03:16] and more adults are attracted to this religion? Well,
[00:03:20] listen, I think life is not always simple and the
[00:03:24] world is not always easy.
[00:03:27] all the way to It's still a religion of love and hope, and so, it's true that it's something
[00:03:31] extremely comforting on a daily basis
[00:03:33] and I must also say during more difficult times, especially
[00:03:37] during more difficult times. So you live in Paris, it was
[00:03:41] relatively practical to be able to see Pope Leon
[00:03:44] here at this mass organized on the Champs-Élysées. Are you
[00:03:47] going to follow him also in Lourdes and in Amesse? Well, I'm going to
[00:03:52] perhaps the continuation of follow him on TV in Lourdes and in Amesse, but no, I won't be
[00:03:55] that Leon XIV traveling.
[00:03:58] the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump Thank you. You can see that there's a lot of... It's very joyful here on the Champs
[00:04:01] Élysées, a lot of people who are meeting up and who are very
[00:04:05] happy to see the Pope in person, the Pope who
[00:04:08] will pass right next to us, barely
[00:04:12] 3 meters from us. We are just behind the barriers. There are
[00:04:16] 2 hours left to wait. Thank you very much, Marie. You speak of joy,
[00:04:19] indeed what we don't see in the image are these thousands of people,
[00:04:23] these faithful who are flocking towards the Champs-Élysées and Place de la
[00:04:26] Concorde, singing in the streets to pass the time with...
[00:04:30] uh, the
[00:04:32] continues no matter what in the streets of police officers who are filtering all of this and who
[00:04:35] obviously we also see, not in these images, but a security that is
[00:04:39] extremely reinforced. We saw snipers positioned on the roof
[00:04:42] of the National Assembly, but all
[00:04:45] social and climate mobilizations throughout this remains very joyful in the streets, that's what we feel.
[00:04:48] Indeed, Anne Corpe, you are
[00:04:51] at the top of the Champs-Élysées on the roof of Publicis. So we are preparing,
[00:04:55] as I mentioned, for a very large-scale
[00:04:57] event.
[00:05:01] Yes, as Marie just said, 60,000 people are expected,
[00:05:04] which is nearly three times more than the number of people who
[00:05:08] attended the last papal mass held in
[00:05:11] Paris. That was in 2008
[00:05:13] with Pope Benedict XVI.
[00:05:16] And the security measures initially planned have been expanded
[00:05:20] since the Avenue de la Grande Armée, which is behind the Arc de
[00:05:24] Triomphe behind me, is now part
[00:05:27] of the area where the crowd gathers. It is
[00:05:31] becoming more and more dense from our privileged position
[00:05:34] here on the terrace of Publicis, we
[00:05:38] can clearly see the rows growing along the
[00:05:41] sidewalks. With indeed an impressive
[00:05:45] security system, there are 15,000
[00:05:48] law enforcement personnel who have been mobilized for
[00:05:51] this papal visit and elite snipers
[00:05:54] positioned on the roofs just above us, by the way, on the Publicis terrace,
[00:05:57] there are some
[00:06:01] elite snipers. So the requisition of this
[00:06:05] public space for the organization
[00:06:08] of a religious service has been condemned by
[00:06:11] some as an attack on secularism, but
[00:06:15] Pope Leo XIV responded to them yesterday by
[00:06:18] explaining that secularism did
[00:06:21] not consist of banning religion from public space. This
[00:06:25] was perceived as an implicit criticism of the National
[00:06:28] Rally's program which plans to ban the wearing of the
[00:06:32] Islamic veil in public spaces. Marine Le Pen
[00:06:35] will also attend the mass at the Concorde later. She won't be
[00:06:39] the only presidential candidate since
[00:06:42] Edouard Philippe, Gabriel Attal
[00:06:46] and Bruno Rotailot will
[00:06:49] also be present for this mass. The Pope is expected
[00:06:53] to once again deliver his message of peace, his
[00:06:57] call for respect for human
[00:07:01] alterity and the right to life. Thank you
[00:07:04] very much Anne. Yes, we know that Emmanuel Macron will not participate in this
[00:07:08] mass. He is represented in principle by his wife Brigitte Macron as
[00:07:12] well as the Prime Minister. We continue to talk about it with you, Constance
[00:07:15] Colonna Césari, hello, thank you for accompanying
[00:07:19] us for this day of Leon XIV's visit. So the Pope
[00:07:23] will be able to gauge the vitality of the Catholic faith in
[00:07:26] France, with this great mass in particular. Did the Vatican
[00:07:29] expect such a welcome? Listen,
[00:07:33] it progressed, we know that since this news was
[00:07:36] improvised in the Pope's agenda, that is to say very, very quickly even
[00:07:40] in the summer, every almost every hour,
[00:07:44] every 24 hours that passed, there were signs
[00:07:47] that the scale was growing
[00:07:50] finally, to the point that places, the gauges of
[00:07:54] these events were increased and to the point that
[00:07:57] the event was expanded to begin with, it was
[00:08:01] considered that he could not simply go to Les Invalides
[00:08:04] or the Longchamp
[00:08:07] racecourse, as had been considered for a while for reasons
[00:08:10] of reception and capacity. So, and also
[00:08:13] to expand the possibility
[00:08:17] for pilgrims to come to mass, pilgrim or not pilgrim, for that matter,
[00:08:21] all French people or even tourists, there is no
[00:08:24] notion of Catholic or not Catholic,
[00:08:27] obviously. So it's absolutely free to access for
[00:08:31] everyone and it's free, of course, I remind you, just like the seats at the
[00:08:35] Stade de France yesterday, but it had to be extended
[00:08:40] Avenue de la Grande Armée, on the other side, so it's really
[00:08:43] a very, very large perimeter and I think yes, it surprised, it
[00:08:47] surprised the organizers who had to dig into their pockets
[00:08:50] and it's the budget that pays, that pays for this
[00:08:54] whole visit, we remind you, it's not the state at all, obviously, but
[00:08:58] it's an obviously enthusiastic sign that
[00:09:01] is also part of
[00:09:04] the enthusiasm
[00:09:07] received during his trip to Spain, so it's
[00:09:11] a capital that was not traveled by Pope
[00:09:14] Francis, and well, finally, it throws itself
[00:09:18] on his successor and it fills stadiums, so it's
[00:09:21] interesting. So this morning has been active already for the
[00:09:25] Pope. Leon XIV continued his time of speaking and reflection with different
[00:09:29] actors of civil and religious society. He went earlier this morning to the
[00:09:32] house of Bakita located in northern Paris where he spoke with
[00:09:36] exiled people taken in by the diocese in this reception center. This
[00:09:40] visit was meticulously planned but it allowed him to insist on the need to live
[00:09:44] together. I suggest you listen to Leon XIV.
[00:09:47] I address my thanks particularly to those who
[00:09:51] shared their testimony.
[00:09:55] The name of your support and
[00:09:59] social integration center, which
[00:10:02] refers to Saint Bakita,
[00:10:06] encourages us to recognize the fundamental role
[00:10:09] of women in building a civilization.
[00:10:13] Love as the alternative to the
[00:10:16] culture that disaggregates communities and
[00:10:19] makes cities sick with
[00:10:21] loneliness.
[00:10:23] Another highlight: at the Catholic Institute, a meeting with catechumens. The Pope
[00:10:27] also went to Saint
[00:10:29] Joseph's Church.
[00:10:32] The Pope tries to understand this impulse that young adults have
[00:10:35] for Catholicism, this new fervor
[00:10:39] that brings people who were not brought up by their families to
[00:10:43] the Catholic church, these people we call catechumens, these
[00:10:47] adult baptisms who choose the religion, the Catholic
[00:10:50] faith. How to understand, when one is
[00:10:55] in charge of the Church, this phenomenon in a society like French
[00:10:58] society. So the Pope said, "I am amazed by the number of
[00:11:02] people who ask for baptism in a society marked by such a
[00:11:06] secularized culture. This phenomenon contradicts
[00:11:09] pessimism, all that
[00:11:13] was thought, all that made it seem
[00:11:16] impossible that practices,
[00:11:20] conversions, and perhaps even ordinations would
[00:11:23] revive in France. So there's something
[00:11:27] very important for the Church of Rome that doesn't understand, that can't
[00:11:30] explain why this phenomenon,
[00:11:34] indeed, the ways of two are impenetrable,
[00:11:37] they say. Thank you very much, Constance. So after Paris, the Pope will fly
[00:11:41] to Lourdes. The last Pontiff to go there was
[00:11:45] Benedict XVI in 2008. There too, Leon XIV will celebrate a
[00:11:49] mass. The city and its surroundings are preparing to respond to
[00:11:52] this large influx. You see these live images
[00:11:56] from the Grotto of Lourdes, which is preparing to receive and
[00:11:59] welcome the Pope. This is a report by Anne-Sophie Estruc
[00:12:03] and Romain Hauteville for
[00:12:05] France.
[00:12:07] In this building in the city center of Pau, Jérôme Tapie has six
[00:12:11] short-term rentals, all full with the arrival of Pope
[00:12:15] Leon XIV. Paris came after having been reserved in
[00:12:18] Tarbes and Lourdes, of course it was in Pau that the reservations took
[00:12:22] place. I benefit from dynamic pricing. With a
[00:12:25] software that recalculates prices every night, prices have naturally
[00:12:28] risen. With 150,000 people expected in
[00:12:31] Lourdes, accommodation options are limited. So it's in the royal
[00:12:35] city that pilgrims are looking for accommodation. Well, we're going to be fully booked for the whole
[00:12:38] weekend. In the Hautes Pyrénées, hotel offers were
[00:12:41] full from spring. In Pau, the 75 rooms of this
[00:12:45] 5-star hotel have all been reserved for a few days. So we asked
[00:12:49] ourselves the question, we said, "Yes, we will have visitors from March, April, May," when
[00:12:52] they started telling us that the Pope was coming, but there were many reservations and it really started
[00:12:56] to pick up in July where, well, we said, "This is interesting,"
[00:13:00] and we hoped for the best, it's happening so it's great. The Pope's arrival
[00:13:04] is an event comparable to the attendance during the Tour de
[00:13:07] France. There will be very good special editions
[00:13:11] on our channels from 2 p.m. to
[00:13:15] follow this walk of the Pope on the Champs-Élysées and then
[00:13:18] this mass in Place de la Concorde. It is
[00:13:22] 1:13 p.m. in Paris. In international news, we continue to follow developments
[00:13:26] in the Middle East. The Houthis targeted the Saudi capital as well as a large city in the
[00:13:29] southwest. These attacks have continued for 10
[00:13:33] days and have had consequences on Saudi
[00:13:36] oil exports. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman requested
[00:13:40] the intervention of Donald Trump but without success. For now, the kingdom is
[00:13:43] also awaiting potential military support from its Pakistani
[00:13:47] and Turkish partners.
[00:13:50] Donald Trump rejected the Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of
[00:13:54] Hormuz. The president preferred to publish on his social network a map
[00:13:57] representing the Strait with the mention "Trump
[00:14:01] Strait". The mid-term elections in 5 weeks seem
[00:14:04] to influence the preferred strategy by the
[00:14:08] president, Axel Simon.
[00:14:10] Have you talked about the war with Iran? Yes, will there be progress regarding the
[00:14:14] Strait of Hormuz? I think we will make excellent progress.
[00:14:18] Announced progress that will still take time. According to
[00:14:23] refused Friday an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of
[00:14:27] Hormuz within 7 days, which is currently locked. The proposal
[00:14:31] formulated by Tehran through Qatari mediators
[00:14:34] provided for the reopening of this strategic
[00:14:37] maritime route and the suspension of fighting in the region, including in
[00:14:40] Lebanon. In return, broader negotiations would have been
[00:14:44] initiated, the United States would have lifted the blockade of Iranian
[00:14:47] ports, unfrozen funds, and renounced oil
[00:14:51] sanctions targeting Iran. Inadmissible for Donald Trump.
[00:14:55] The American president believes, according to the Wall Street Journal, that the Islamic
[00:14:59] Republic will not keep its commitments. The American
[00:15:01] president would not rule out a resumption of strikes in Iran after the
[00:15:05] mid-term legislative elections on November 3rd. These are unacceptable
[00:15:09] threats according to the head of Iranian diplomacy.
[00:15:12] Iran accepts neither coercion, nor
[00:15:15] threats, nor intimidation and will not renounce its sovereign rights under
[00:15:19] pressure. Sovereignty is not
[00:15:21] conditional.
[00:15:25] does not mean capitulation, and peace cannot be built on threats
[00:15:29] of annihilation.
[00:15:32] The blockage therefore continues on both sides, and Donald Trump even
[00:15:36] fueled the fire with this map published on his social
[00:15:39] network, which proposes to rename the Strait of Hormuz "Trump
[00:15:43] Strait". The memorandum of understanding signed in June between
[00:15:47] Tehran and Washington provided for an end to the war,
[00:15:51] reopening this strategic maritime passage, and conducting
[00:15:54] talks on the ultra-sensitive Iranian nuclear program,
[00:15:57] but no significant progress has been made since its
[00:16:01] signing.
[00:16:03] Climate marches are being organized almost everywhere in France today. A
[00:16:07] citizen movement that organized itself and gained momentum over the summer when France discovered
[00:16:11] its limitations in the face of successive heatwave
[00:16:14] episodes. So the date may seem unfortunate since it
[00:16:17] coincides with this visit of the Pope and this giant mass in Place de la Concorde. The
[00:16:21] Parisian gathering will therefore take place right after at
[00:16:25] 5 p.m. in Place de la République. We are talking about
[00:16:28] it with our guest Margot Genjour, you are advocacy officer for
[00:16:31] climate justice at Amnesty International France, you work
[00:16:35] on the impacts of the climate crisis on rights. In France and throughout the world, I
[00:16:39] also appreciate you bringing us your thoughts today. So with
[00:16:42] this mobilization, the idea with these marches is actually
[00:16:45] to continue to influence policies during this campaign
[00:16:49] period.
[00:16:51] Yes, hello, yes, yes, absolutely. In fact,
[00:16:55] the marches begin today and we are
[00:16:58] a few days before the start of the debate on the
[00:17:01] budget which will therefore have to take into account what
[00:17:05] happened this summer and include an increase in the
[00:17:09] budget to be able to face and adapt to climate
[00:17:13] change and the effects of climate change on our daily lives, which we have all
[00:17:16] experienced this summer
[00:17:20] throughout France, but which also had dramatic effects
[00:17:24] elsewhere in the world. It is also a few months before the presidential
[00:17:27] election. The heatwave we experienced this summer is not a
[00:17:30] climatic event that came out of
[00:17:33] nowhere. It is a political event that reminds us that the
[00:17:37] effects of climate change and the causes of the current
[00:17:40] emergency have an impact on our rights, on our daily
[00:17:44] lives, on our livelihoods in France as elsewhere in the world, and we were
[00:17:47] really able to feel it in France this summer, yes, all the more so as we saw that the most
[00:17:51] vulnerable people are obviously the
[00:17:54] first affected, we will talk about it, but do you think there has been a
[00:17:59] summer?
[00:18:02] Well, I think there has been a great awareness on the part
[00:18:06] of the populations who have been most
[00:18:09] affected and who have been affected for several years. I think there has
[00:18:13] been a broader awareness within
[00:18:16] the political sphere. There have already been
[00:18:20] two debates with
[00:18:23] presidential candidates who have included ecological,
[00:18:27] climatic, and environmental issues, which are traditionally
[00:18:30] little covered during electoral periods.
[00:18:34] However, for now, the measures to
[00:18:37] deal with it are largely insufficient, so we cannot yet truly speak of a political
[00:18:41] awareness commensurate with the challenges. On the contrary,
[00:18:44] the budget announces cuts in the
[00:18:48] ADEME budget and for the green fund which should normally allow
[00:18:52] municipalities and regions to adapt to the climate
[00:18:55] crisis. So for now, we can say that we have
[00:18:58] perhaps a collective awareness, but it is not at all accompanied
[00:19:02] at the political level by the necessary measures to face
[00:19:05] the emergency, especially for the most vulnerable populations and those on the front line of the impacts. But
[00:19:09] indeed, as you mentioned, it is a citizen movement
[00:19:13] today. We see that climate issues are becoming a
[00:19:16] concern for the French, particularly during this electoral
[00:19:20] campaign period for this presidential election. It is true
[00:19:22] that if the gap is too
[00:19:26] wide between politicians and this popular awareness,
[00:19:30] we risk seeing anger erupt because these climatic events have
[00:19:34] consequences, both damage and consequences also on
[00:19:37] food and water resources, and the
[00:19:41] population is very sensitive to this. Yes,
[00:19:44] absolutely. In fact, this summer, I think it really showed
[00:19:48] the impact on our daily lives and that it was a
[00:19:51] national issue. The impacts of climate change
[00:19:55] are not only on the other side of the world, on the other side of the world, sorry,
[00:19:58] and this awareness is accompanied by a desire
[00:20:02] to act on the part of citizens. There was a rally in Bercy
[00:20:05] in front of the Ministry of Finance about ten days ago. There are
[00:20:09] now over 260 marches organized
[00:20:13] throughout France in addition to the rally in Paris,
[00:20:17] and then there will be a march on October 3rd against pesticides and other
[00:20:22] the autumn, and I imagine potentially up until
[00:20:26] the presidential elections. So it's clear that this awareness is accompanied
[00:20:29] by a strong desire to act, a strong concern, and also
[00:20:33] anger at the inaction of the government and companies that are
[00:20:37] responsible. How can we support the most
[00:20:41] vulnerable populations? It's true that in this appeal, the
[00:20:44] organizers are demanding an emergency plan, but that is perhaps
[00:20:47] the weakness of always acting in an
[00:20:50] emergency. There is a need for support that is much more sustainable and
[00:20:54] spread out.
[00:20:56] Yes, absolutely. What we are asking for, and what the appeal is
[00:20:59] also asking for, are already emergency measures because we need to be
[00:21:03] ready for next summer in any case, but also longer-term
[00:21:07] measures. The first measure is to tackle the root causes
[00:21:10] of the heatwave and fires we experienced this summer,
[00:21:14] i.e., moving away from fossil fuels and moving away from fossil
[00:21:17] fuels in a just and equitable manner, by making those responsible
[00:21:21] for the climate crisis pay, particularly the fossil
[00:21:23] fuel industry, the ultra-rich and their polluting lifestyles, for example,
[00:21:27] such as private
[00:21:30] public money fossil fuels that prevent
[00:21:34] us from adopting renewable energy. And this transition
[00:21:37] must adopt protection measures for the most vulnerable populations who
[00:21:41] have contributed the least to climate change, so social
[00:21:44] protection measures, because the transition
[00:21:48] will have an impact on their lives, and therefore
[00:21:52] this impact should not be unjust and disproportionate
[00:21:55] to their responsibility and
[00:21:58] their vulnerability. So, for example,
[00:22:01] we can think of the Yellow Vest movement in 2018 at the
[00:22:05] time of the carbon tax, these are unjust
[00:22:08] measures if they are not accompanied by social
[00:22:11] compensation for the most affected people.
[00:22:15] time, as we know, is unfortunately always too long, sometimes not
[00:22:19] necessarily adapted to reality. Do you think that therefore there is
[00:22:23] possible action locally from communities?
[00:22:26] Can everyone act
[00:22:29] individually? Yes, absolutely.
[00:22:33] The march, or rather the marches, today are taking
[00:22:36] place in 260 communes, more than 260 communes,
[00:22:40] and they connect with local struggles all over the
[00:22:42] French territory. So there are
[00:22:46] obviously ways to get involved locally against
[00:22:50] polluting projects or to get involved
[00:22:53] also to demand from one's municipality, department, or
[00:22:56] region adaptation and mitigation measures.
[00:23:00] And on the other hand, we are
[00:23:03] also in a context where these
[00:23:06] movements are increasingly being repressed, and so there will be
[00:23:10] particular attention to ensure that these are voices that
[00:23:14] can be heard to be safely repressed
[00:23:17] uh and and that we recognize... the the legitimacy of their
[00:23:21] demands which are around the urgency actually
[00:23:25] of responding to the situation we are in. I thank you
[00:23:28] very much for answering our questions, we
[00:23:31] just mentioned it with you, the consequences are not only on
[00:23:34] human beings but on all of nature by extension
[00:23:38] our food resources, producers are under pressure, especially for the hazelnut farmers,
[00:23:42] this is a report in the Gers with Paul George and
[00:23:46] Emmanuel Fillon. last day of harvest for Thomas.
[00:23:50] Rayon, he cultivates hazelnuts in the Gers, like
[00:23:53] many, this farmer observes the damage from the historic
[00:23:57] drought, this year we're going to produce a ton and a half, normally we should
[00:24:00] be between 2 and a half tons and 3 tons of hazelnuts per hectare,
[00:24:04] this year the scarcity of water has impacted the size of the fruit at
[00:24:07] harvest,
[00:24:09] we are still paid a lot by size so necessarily when
[00:24:13] the bigger the size, the better we are paid and this
[00:24:16] year we know we will sell the hazelnuts cheaper because they are not... not very
[00:24:20] big, fortunately, he does not depend only on the wholesale market
[00:24:24] and processes 20% of his production himself, so
[00:24:28] already being independent allows us to control this cost
[00:24:31] a little more and then the fact of developing this processing
[00:24:34] part allows us not to be a contributor
[00:24:37] to the market price of hazelnuts and to be able to decide our resale
[00:24:41] prices a little more. the Gers has about ten
[00:24:44] producers, the sector is subject to fierce foreign
[00:24:48] competition and wishes to turn to the high-end
[00:24:51] market, the floods in Bangkok are
[00:24:55] stabilized, but the situation is extraordinary, a state of
[00:24:58] disaster has been declared, torrential rains have fallen in the last 24 hours
[00:25:02] and the canals are overflowing, the east of the city is the most affected, the
[00:25:06] authorities are at work to pump
[00:25:07] the water.
[00:25:10] submerged roads and residents forced to move through more
[00:25:14] than twenty centimeters of water, while the canals of
[00:25:17] Bangkok overflow and the water infiltrates into the... life
[00:25:22] the Thai capital under the torrential
[00:25:24] rains,
[00:25:28] I'm in shock, honestly this situation is quite
[00:25:30] frightening. Saturday evening, the situation was
[00:25:34] considered stabilized, even if the roads are still flooded,
[00:25:38] the damage is already considerable, according to the
[00:25:41] Bangkok authorities, the most affected part is the east of the
[00:25:44] city, they have opened several temporary shelters in schools
[00:25:47] and have prepared 1 million sandbags.
[00:25:55] The warnings were rather limited this time, the only real alert arrived
[00:25:59] Thursday morning via a notification on our phones.
[00:26:03] Before that, I was not sufficiently informed to consider taking refuge
[00:26:07] elsewhere.
[00:26:12] the East, Bangkok is built on old swamps and is organized around
[00:26:16] a vast network of canals. The Thai capital regularly experiences
[00:26:20] seasonal floods, particularly in September during
[00:26:23] the monsoon season.
[00:26:27] It's been 10 or 15 years since we've seen such rain and this level of flooding
[00:26:30] here.
[00:26:34] In 2011, major floods throughout Thailand had
[00:26:37] killed more than 500 people and damaged millions of
[00:27:08] continue to follow of course this preparation of the mass at Place de la
[00:27:12] Concorde with Pope 14.
[00:27:15] 14.

[00:29:09] "I'm getting ready to enter a country I know nothing about, and that's when
[00:29:12] they told me they were sending me to
[00:29:14] Ghana.
[00:29:20] ICE is very opaque, very
[00:29:23] opaque on the expulsions of people to third
[00:29:25] countries."
[00:29:34] "Okay, what do you want in return? I then put forward other conditions,
[00:29:37] beyond the lifting of visa
[00:29:39] restrictions,
[00:29:47] I feel like they threw us away like hard currency, they could abandon us in a
[00:29:51] landfill and the whole world would eventually
[00:29:53] forget us.
[00:30:07] It's 1:30 PM in Paris, welcome if you're just joining us, we continue
[00:30:11] to follow of course the visit of Leo 14 to France, the faithful are more and more numerous
[00:30:15] on the Place de la Concorde and on the Champs-Élysées, the Pope
[00:30:18] will celebrate an XXL mass starting at 3 PM, we may
[00:30:22] find Florence Gaillard, the connection is starting to be a little
[00:30:26] difficult with this place from which hundreds of thousands of people
[00:30:29] are filming and calling. This morning the Pope had many meetings, he
[00:30:33] spoke with human catechists after going to a center dedicated to
[00:30:37] welcoming and integrating exiled people, he called for
[00:30:40] living together in dignity and
[00:30:44] peace.
