[00:00:12] You are watching L'essentiel Weekend on France 24. Good evening everyone. Top story this
[00:00:15] Saturday evening, Pope Leo XIV's prayer for France at the Grotto of
[00:00:19] Lourdes. The Sovereign Pontiff continues his visit to France.
[00:00:22] Earlier today, he was in Paris to celebrate a large mass
[00:00:26] on Place de la Concorde, with some 80,000 people according to the Vatican,
[00:00:30] who had made the trip to attend the service. Also in
[00:00:33] the news, the United States' rejection of the Iranian plan to
[00:00:37] open the Strait of Hormuz. It had been submitted yesterday in
[00:00:39] Washington. For the American president, this is an admission of weakness on the part
[00:00:43] of the Iranian authorities who are, I quote, "losing".
[00:00:46] Finally, thousands of people in the streets of Madrid
[00:00:50] against Pedro
[00:00:52] raid 38 km from Sanchez's government, accusing him of not protecting Spain's borders after the influx of
[00:00:55] migrants this summer in Ceuta, a mobilization
[00:00:58] supported by the right and the far right.
[00:01:15] Pope Leo XIV has therefore left Paris for Lourdes this evening,
[00:01:18] a new stage in his journey in France. Lourdes is one of the most
[00:01:21] famous pilgrimage sites in the world. Tens of thousands of
[00:01:25] people were again able to acclaim him during his procession in the Popemobile in the
[00:01:29] Pyrenean city. The Pope then led a prayer for
[00:01:32] France at the Massabielle Grotto
[00:01:35] player had decided to withdraw from where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to a young shepherdess in
[00:01:38] 1858. He notably called for a harmonious
[00:01:41] society and, I quote, "wise and generous leaders
[00:01:44] ready for sacrifice," especially a few months before
[00:01:48] the presidential
[00:01:48] election.
[00:01:52] Pope Leo XIV, who was in Paris a few hours earlier, where he celebrated a
[00:01:56] giant mass on the Place de la Concorde in the presence of hundreds of thousands of
[00:01:59] people. Back on this second day of visit with Ethan
[00:02:02] Haji.
[00:02:06] An immense crowd on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées to
[00:02:10] catch a glimpse of Leo
[00:02:12] XIV's Popemobile
[00:02:14] with, along the way, a few stops by the Sovereign Pontiff to
[00:02:17] bless people with disabilities and
[00:02:20] children. The faithful and curious
[00:02:24] acclaim the Pope. Bravo, long live
[00:02:27] the Pope! Yes, we actually went to see the Pope and it was
[00:02:31] quite moving to see Pope Leo pass by in his
[00:02:35] Popemobile. We didn't expect
[00:02:38] to find a place like that, we hadn't bought tickets but in the end they told us
[00:02:42] "go, go, you can enter" so we entered, we were right in front of the
[00:02:46] the earth had opened up, white barrier but he turned his head at the wrong moment, we are happy to have seen him anyway,
[00:02:50] it's a great moment of deep joy in communion with
[00:02:54] the Church. 70,000 people were
[00:02:57] gathered according to Vatican figures for this procession
[00:03:01] and the giant open-air mass on the Place de la Concorde. These
[00:03:05] people, it's one of the most beautiful periods, one of the most beautiful days of their lives, because
[00:03:08] everywhere in the world, and at any time of they will be able, with other Christians with whom they share the same faith, with whom they
[00:03:13] 2027 along with share the same relationship with Jesus, to experience something extraordinary on the most beautiful avenue
[00:03:16] in the world, a mass of an hour and a half celebrated by
[00:03:19] the Pope to conclude this visit to the capital, the
[00:03:23] first for a Sovereign Pontiff since 2008.
[00:03:26] Earlier on Saturday, he went to a Catholic reception center and...
[00:03:41] oh yes, what do I say at the end of the Rhum, navigator Tom Laperche won
[00:03:46] a beach without having to fight for space. and he is now expected this Sunday on a sensitive subject, sexual
[00:03:48] violence committed by members of the clergy, a closed-door meeting
[00:03:52] is planned with seven victims of violence, a format criticized
[00:03:55] by several
[00:03:56] 24 hours of offshore racing from associations.
[00:04:01] The mosaics that adorn the facade of the Basilica of the Rosary in
[00:04:04] Lourdes, hidden for the visit of Pope Leo
[00:04:08] solidified on contact with the XIV. They are the work of the artist and Jesuit priest Marco
[00:04:12] Rupnik, accused of sexual assault and psychological
[00:04:15] manipulation by several of his
[00:04:18] sunrise off former collaborators, including nuns. The
[00:04:21] Vatican reportedly exerted no pressure to conceal them according to the Bishop of Tarbes
[00:04:25] and Lourdes, who cites a symbolic decision out of respect for
[00:04:29] pilgrims.
[00:04:31] stages of the This is important because my clients' accounts
[00:04:34] revealed that they themselves had suffered abuse at the time when
[00:04:37] the artwork itself was being created.
[00:04:40] During his visit to Lourdes scheduled
[00:04:42] for Sunday, the Sovereign Pontiff
[00:04:46] will meet seven victims of sexual abuse within the French
[00:04:49] clergy. More than words and condemnations, many
[00:04:53] victims now expect action from Pope Leo XIV,
[00:04:57] who recently described sexual abuse committed in the Church
[00:05:00] as an open wound, and we obviously
[00:05:04] hope that this meeting will be strong and not
[00:05:07] only in terms of emotion but in
[00:05:11] terms of taking a stand.
[00:05:13] And that he will display absolute shame with
[00:05:17] regards to all those priests who committed the unspeakable. In
[00:05:20] 2021, a report from an independent commission
[00:05:24] estimated at 33,000
[00:05:26] the number of children who had suffered sexual violence within the Catholic Church in
[00:05:30] France, abuses dating back seven decades. The
[00:05:34] restorative bodies created by the episcopate after the publication of this
[00:05:38] report, as well as victim collectives, are already talking about a
[00:05:41] missed opportunity. They would have preferred a full day of collective
[00:05:45] exchange. The Catholic authorities have put in place
[00:05:49] protection measures and financial compensation, but victims
[00:05:52] continue to demand accountability and more
[00:05:55] prevention.
[00:05:58] Moving on to the rest of the news, it's no, Donald Trump's answer is unequivocal,
[00:06:02] the American president categorically rejects the Iranian proposal
[00:06:06] to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 7 days. According to him,
[00:06:10] the Iranian leaders are in dire straits, they want this agreement because they are losing
[00:06:14] (Axel Simon).
[00:06:17] Have you talked about the war with Iran? Will there be progress
[00:06:20] concerning the strait? I think we will make excellent
[00:06:23] progress. Progress announced but which
[00:06:27] will still be awaited. Donald Trump rejected on Friday
[00:06:31] an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
[00:06:34] within 7 days, currently locked. The proposal
[00:06:37] formulated by Tehran through Qatari mediators provided for the
[00:06:41] reopening of the strategic waterway
[00:06:45] and the suspension of fighting in the region, including in
[00:06:48] Lebanon. In return, broader negotiations would have been
[00:06:52] initiated, the United States would have lifted the blockade of Iranian
[00:06:55] ports, unfrozen funds and renounced oil sanctions
[00:06:59] against Iran. Unacceptable for Donald Trump,
[00:07:03] the American president believes, according to the Wall Street Journal, that the Islamic
[00:07:06] Republic will not honor its commitments. The American
[00:07:09] president who would not rule out a resumption of strikes in Iran after the legislative
[00:07:42] elections. to add fuel to the fire with this map published on his social
[00:07:45] network which proposes to rename the Strait of Hormuz the Trump
[00:07:49] Strait. The memorandum of understanding signed in June between
[00:07:53] Tehran and Washington provided however for an end to the war,
[00:07:57] to reopen this strategic maritime passage and to hold
[00:08:00] talks on the ultra-sensitive aspect of the Iranian nuclear program,
[00:08:04] but no significant progress has been made since its
[00:08:07] signing.
[00:08:10] Heading to Spain now, part of the
[00:08:12] population is still angry after the influx of migrants this summer in
[00:08:16] Ceuta. Thousands of people gathered this Saturday in Madrid to
[00:08:19] protest against the government's handling of the crisis by Pedro
[00:08:23] Sanchez. They are demanding early general elections. Julien
[00:08:27] Dubois.
[00:08:29] They came by the thousands to the streets of Madrid, Spanish
[00:08:33] flags in hand, to show their support for the residents of
[00:08:36] Ceuta and to demand the resignation of Prime Minister
[00:08:40] Pedro Sanchez. Spaniards are angry and blame their
[00:08:44] leaders for not having protected their country's borders in
[00:08:48] Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in
[00:08:50] Africa. It's a real disaster, the residents of
[00:08:54] Ceuta are at their wits' end, so I think they need to be supported, even if we are far
[00:08:57] from them.
[00:09:00] The government remains totally inactive, it does nothing
[00:09:02] and we want to demonstrate because we believe it is
[00:09:06] totally unfair. The policy pursued with regard to Morocco consists
[00:09:10] of yielding to everything that country says, instead of defending
[00:09:13] Spain.
[00:09:16] Two months ago, more than 70,000 migrants from
[00:09:19] Morocco entered the Spanish territory located in North Africa
[00:09:23] by foot or by swimming. Most of the migrants
[00:09:26] quickly returned to Morocco, but thousands remained in
[00:09:29] Spain. This Saturday's demonstration, organized
[00:09:33] by a civil society platform, was supported by conservatives
[00:09:36] and the far-right Vox party, whose leader
[00:09:40] Santiago Abascal came to demonstrate. Among the
[00:09:43] demands, the expulsion of all migrants who entered
[00:09:46] Ceuta. Faced with this anger, the newspaper
[00:09:49] El País indicates that the Spanish government plans to adopt a decree
[00:09:53] on Tuesday to accelerate the return of migrants from Ceuta to
[00:09:56] Morocco. This week, Pedro Sanchez designated Morocco as
[00:10:00] responsible for this migratory crisis. According to a Spanish police
[00:10:04] report, the number of Moroccan agents present at the border post on
[00:10:08] the days of the influx was significantly lower than
[00:10:10] normal.
[00:10:14] Stay with us, L'essentiel continues, we'll be back in a
[00:10:16] moment.
[00:10:30] And right away, let's talk sports with Cédric
[00:10:32] Ferrera.
[00:10:37] Good evening Cédric, good evening again, Marion. Well, cycling to start
[00:10:40] with, the Dutchwoman Demi Vollering is world champion on road. It's the
[00:10:44] icing on the cake of Demi Vollering's exceptional
[00:10:47] season. She has almost won everything.
[00:10:51] After the Tour de France, the Tour of Italy, the classics Liège
[00:10:54] Bastogne-Liège, the Tour of Flanders, La Flèche Wallonne.
[00:10:58] You see Demi Vollering very emotional with the gold medal around her neck
[00:11:01] as she has just been crowned world champion on road in
[00:11:05] Montreal, Canada, where this urban race of 180
[00:11:08] km took place, quite long actually for this type of format. The 29-year-old
[00:11:12] Dutchwoman was the immense favorite. She launched into a daring
[00:11:17] the finish, but you can see in this image, she was
[00:11:20] caught and then had to fight for victory in
[00:11:24] a final sprint against the Pole Kasia
[00:11:27] Niewiadoma. You see the Pole on the left in white in the image who launches her
[00:11:31] sprint, unfortunately for her, she won't be able to maintain her effort until the end since she
[00:11:35] will injure her thigh and on the right Demi Vollering in orange will
[00:11:39] be able to take the victory on the finish line.
[00:11:42] Behind her in third place is the Italian Elisa
[00:11:45] Longo Borghini. It is therefore the first world championship title
[00:11:49] for Demi Vollering, overjoyed as she crossed the finish line. She
[00:11:53] confirms once again that she is the best cyclist in the world
[00:11:56] currently. In Formula 1 now, George Russell won the Azerbaijan
[00:11:59] Grand Prix after a chaotic race. Chaos is
[00:12:03] often the case during the race in Baku, Azerbaijan,
[00:12:06] a very complicated urban circuit for the drivers. There were still
[00:12:10] some accidents, but that was not decisive in George
[00:12:13] Russell's victory. You see, a perfect weekend for him, he had dominated
[00:12:17] qualifying, he had started in pole position for this start that you
[00:12:20] see in the image, and he won the race quite easily on...
[00:12:25] All you need to remember is that he outclassed his teammate
[00:12:28] and current leader of the drivers' standings Kimi Antonelli.
[00:12:31] Antonelli, who had completely messed up his qualifying by
[00:12:34] crashing into a wall. He started 16th this Saturday, but still finished
[00:12:38] 5th, he managed to save face. Also note that behind George
[00:12:42] Russell on the podium, two Red Bull cars, Max Verstappen 2nd,
[00:12:46] Isaac 3rd. For Max Verstappen, victory was not
[00:12:50] that far off, he started 8th, he put insane pressure on George
[00:12:53] Russell throughout the race. Behind, it's the image you see of Verstappen who is right
[00:12:57] behind George Russell and he finished 2nd
[00:13:01] and then in 3rd place Isaac, the other Red Bull driver, the Frenchman who
[00:13:05] had missed the last three Grand Prix due to a wrist injury, he is back
[00:13:09] and he signs a podium right away, so it's good news for him. In the drivers'
[00:13:12] standings, George Russell, whom you see, is
[00:13:16] still 2nd behind Kimi Antonelli.
[00:13:19] Antonelli, his teammate, still has 66 points ahead, a comfortable
[00:13:22] lead. The world championship title should be decided between the
[00:13:26] two Mercedes drivers, there are still eight Grand Prix left before the
[00:13:30] end of the season, a duel therefore between a Briton and an
[00:13:33] Italian. Moving on to volleyball, bad news for
[00:13:36] France, they were beaten by Poland this evening in the European
[00:13:40] Championship final. And yes, the match just ended literally a
[00:13:44] few minutes ago. Bad news for the Blues who hoped to beat
[00:13:48] Poland once again, after their victory at the Olympic Games against
[00:13:51] Poland already, but during this final, it was indeed the Poles, considered to be the
[00:13:55] best in the world in men's volleyball, who were the favorites and logic was
[00:13:59] respected. Poland won 3 sets to 1. The
[00:14:03] dream of the Blues, 11 years after their only European championship title, has
[00:14:06] just vanished. Note that Poland,
[00:14:09] after this victory, is directly qualified for the Los Angeles
[00:14:13] Olympic Games in
[00:14:15] 2028. They managed to get their revenge, the Poles,
[00:14:19] after the defeat against the Blues, as I told you, at the last Olympic
[00:14:22] Games. But we can console ourselves with triathlon, the Frenchwoman Cassandre
[00:14:26] Beaugrand became world champion for the second time, and here again we can
[00:14:30] talk about the Olympic Games since two years ago in Paris, Cassandre Beaugrand had done
[00:14:33] very well by winning the gold medal in the
[00:14:37] 2024 triathlon. By the way, these are the images you see when she won her title and
[00:14:41] was celebrated at Club France 2024. She had
[00:14:45] therefore won the Olympic medal and the world champion title, and this
[00:14:48] year in 2026, it's an almost perfect year, she did even
[00:14:52] better as she participated in five
[00:14:56] world circuit and won five victories, the
[00:14:59] last one this Saturday in Pontevedra, Spain. Let me remind
[00:15:03] you of the triathlon format, 1.5 km of swimming, 40
[00:15:06] km of cycling, 10 km of running, which is her strong point for
[00:15:09] the finish, and that's where she makes the difference, leaving her pursuers more
[00:15:13] than a minute behind. I mentioned a perfect year, why? Because
[00:15:16] she was the best in triathlon, but you should know that
[00:15:20] Cassandre Beaugrand also participated in athletics events
[00:15:23] this year in France and she set two records in
[00:15:27] the 5000m and in the 10 km road race. The season is
[00:15:30] coming to an end and we can say that it has been a complete success for the 29-year-old
[00:15:34] multi-talented athlete. Now for football, let's take stock of
[00:15:37] the main results. The continuation of the Nations League, Spain
[00:15:41] won in England, there was a beautiful spectacle and many goals at
[00:15:45] Wembley in London, the home of English football. The
[00:15:49] match started very well for Spain with a goal from Lamine Yamal
[00:15:51] in the 2nd minute, but at halftime
[00:15:55] England was already leading 2-1 thanks to Anthony Gordon and Harry
[00:15:58] Kane, and then the Spanish world champions once again relied on their
[00:16:02] players who came off the bench, Alex Baena and Michael
[00:16:06] Oyarzabal, to win 2-1 in England in this first day
[00:16:09] of the Nations League. You see the other results, we note the
[00:16:13] 2-1 victory of Croatia in Czechia and the 3-0
[00:16:17] success of Switzerland in North Macedonia. The Nations League continues this Sunday with
[00:16:21] other big matches on the program, including
[00:16:24] another great match between Portugal and Norway, Cristiano
[00:16:27] Ronaldo against Erling Haaland. And tomorrow also
[00:16:31] there will be the Ireland vs. Israel match which will indeed
[00:16:34] take place because for a while the holding of
[00:16:37] this match was simply threatened, it will also be played on
[00:16:41] neutral ground in Hungary for security reasons. Why
[00:16:44] ? Well, because in Ireland, there is widespread support for the Palestinian
[00:16:48] cause. The controversy began last week when the
[00:16:52] Irish coach declared that his team would
[00:16:55] play, I quote, "against genocide and not with it,"
[00:16:59] but rather against Israel, which had led to
[00:17:02] strong reactions from the Israeli side. Since then, some Irish
[00:17:05] players reportedly intended to
[00:17:07] boycott the match to protest against the war in Gaza. At least one Irish
[00:17:13] the team. So the Irish this Saturday finally
[00:17:16] held a vote among themselves, the majority decided to play
[00:17:19] the next two matches against Israel. Moreover, in the images you
[00:17:23] see, it is indeed the Israeli team training at the
[00:17:26] Debrecen stadium in Hungary where this match will take
[00:17:30] place. It is a rather painful event for the players of
[00:17:34] both teams. I suggest you listen to the Irish
[00:17:37] coach explain his players' choice.
[00:17:40] The
[00:17:45] players feel like they are doing the wrong thing by playing this match, given the pressure
[00:17:48] from Ireland. It is not a pleasant feeling to be under such pressure from
[00:17:52] our supporters. So we want to make it clear that we do not
[00:17:56] support what is happening in Gaza. We are playing this match because the
[00:17:59] rules of our sport require it. We are playing this
[00:18:03] match because that is what the rules of the competition we are participating in dictate.
[00:18:11] So this Sunday Ireland vs. Israel in Hungary and then on October
[00:18:14] 4th there will be a second match which will take place this
[00:18:17] time in Serbia, always for security reasons. This
[00:18:21] decision by the Irish, as you can imagine, was welcomed by the
[00:18:24] Israeli Football Federation. Still football in Africa this time, the
[00:18:28] continuation of the qualifications for the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 and it starts well for South
[00:18:31] Africa with a 2-1 victory against Guinea. In the other
[00:18:35] match of Group D, note this match. a one-all draw between Kenya and
[00:18:38] Eritrea, an almost friendly match since
[00:18:42] Kenya participates in the qualifications without stakes because Kenya, we recall,
[00:18:46] is the future organizing country of the Africa Cup of Nations
[00:18:50] Uganda and Tanzania. Note that for this first day of
[00:18:54] qualification, the big names of the African continent were present with
[00:18:57] victories, except for Senegal who conceded a draw on the
[00:19:01] pitch of Mozambique, a first failed match for the new coach
[00:19:04] Patrick Vieira, but the Senegalese will of course have the opportunity
[00:19:08] to bounce back for the second day which will start this Monday. And we finish with
[00:19:12] sailing. About a month before the famous transatlantic race, the famous Route du
[00:19:18] the 24-hour Ultim. It was the
[00:19:21] last major test in competition for the giants of the
[00:19:24] seas, the fastest multihull boats in the world, those of the
[00:19:28] Ultim class, which will take the start of the Route du Rhum.
[00:19:34] Lorient in Brittany, at the start and finish
[00:19:37] of Lorient, so it is the navigator Tom La Perche at the helm of the SVR Lazartigue
[00:19:40] trimaran who was the fastest for this 5th
[00:19:44] edition of the race. 24 hours without sleep but at least
[00:19:48] at the finish, you see in these images, he was able to enjoy
[00:19:52] this incredible panorama at
[00:19:55] Lorient in Brittany. In the Ocean 50 category, that is
[00:19:59] smaller trimarans, it was Basil Bourgnon with his
[00:20:03] boat Eden Red who was the fastest. Now for everyone,
[00:20:06] see you on November 1st
[00:20:09] in Saint-Malo for the Route du Rhum. And that's it, we leave you
[00:20:13] with these beautiful sunrise images, it makes you want to be there, doesn't it Marion?
[00:20:16] I hope so, I hope so, you are currently doing the accreditations, I'm trying.
[00:20:20] Yes, thank you very much Cédric for this sports
[00:20:23] news update. It's now time for our focus on a little-known
[00:20:27] territory, the island of Montserrat, in the heart
[00:20:31] of the Caribbean. This British overseas
[00:20:33] territory has an unusual history. Part of the island was buried
[00:20:37] after the eruption of its volcano in 1995. Today
[00:20:40] it is largely deserted, with an atmosphere of the end of the
[00:20:44] world. This is a report by our colleagues Diane Schlanger,
[00:20:48] Kily Sullivan Denberg and Claire.
[00:21:02] It is nicknamed the Emerald of the
[00:21:04] Caribbean, Montserrat, an island of
[00:21:08] raw beauty, sculpted by the power of a
[00:21:11] volcano, polished by time.
[00:21:15] Man is welcome only at the whim of the Soufrière, of its
[00:21:19] eruptions. To venture onto this
[00:21:21] land, you must be careful.
[00:21:25] Know that 5 people are preparing to enter the area and especially
[00:21:29] be with a guide.
[00:21:41] As you drive, each car kicks up clouds of
[00:21:44] ash,
[00:21:46] ash ejected by the furious volcano, a volcano still very active. You don't
[00:21:50] want to be there on a day when the mountain is in a bad
[00:21:54] multifaceted mountain that these New York tourists are discovering
[00:21:58] for the first time. I feel so
[00:22:01] small, this size, it's
[00:22:05] so massive and you see these sorts of large,
[00:22:08] very, very deep crevices,
[00:22:12] there are up to 60 meters of volcanic material, you want to call it the
[00:22:16] monster, a monster that awoke
[00:22:20] 31 years ago.
[00:22:22] Repeated explosions of smoke, incandescent
[00:22:26] rocks, an avalanche of fire that carried
[00:22:29] everything away, including the capital,
[00:22:32] Plymouth, which is now a ghost town,
[00:22:35] almost entirely buried under the
[00:22:38] ash.
[00:22:40] We're on Saint George's Street, but you can't see any of that anymore. The memorial, for example,
[00:22:44] there's no trace of it left, it's buried here under our
[00:22:47] feet. Only the third or fourth
[00:22:51] floors of the buildings here are still visible, a phone store or the
[00:22:54] library, of the bank, only the roof is still
[00:22:58] apparent. This hotel welcomed in the 1990s
[00:23:02] many tourists and businessmen, and here it
[00:23:05] is
[00:23:06] today.
[00:23:09] Trees even grow on the roof, in the ash, it's
[00:23:12] impressive. A window into the
[00:23:15] past life, an office with documents abandoned in a hurry.
[00:23:18] Alvin
[00:23:21] Ryan experienced the emergency evacuation. He was working
[00:23:25] in this supermarket on July 18, 1995 when suddenly,
[00:23:29] I started to hear a noise that sounded like an airplane engine, but
[00:23:32] it continued, I realized that
[00:23:36] steam was coming out of a crater, I hurried to
[00:23:39] retrieve some belongings, I didn't realize then that I was leaving
[00:23:43] here forever. 19 people died,
[00:23:46] some could not be evacuated,
[00:23:50] others refused to leave. Faced with the incessant
[00:23:53] threat, two-thirds of the inhabitants left the island, those who remained
[00:23:57] moved further north.
[00:24:00] But they still resonate here, the echoes of the past glory of this
[00:24:04] British territory, prized at the time by the greatest
[00:24:07] musicians, says Strates, Paul
[00:24:09] McCartney, Elton John. They
[00:24:13] recorded some of their biggest hits in this studio of George Martin, the
[00:24:17] Beatles' producer, now abandoned.
[00:24:21] All then draw their inspiration from these
[00:24:25] idyllic landscapes, now reserved for a few initiates.
[00:24:28] It's really the strangest paradise, it's
[00:24:32] unique, to be alone on such
[00:24:51] There too, the volcano makes its
[00:24:53] law, the incandescent rocks have
[00:24:58] water, creating picturesque
[00:25:01] reefs,
[00:25:05] these volcanic rocks are the perfect habitat for corals and sponges, then
[00:25:09] fish can reproduce there, hide there, many reefs that don't have
[00:25:12] many visitors, it's a blessing,
[00:25:16] yes, in Montserrat, there are more sea turtles than tourists.
[00:25:21] And the rays can hide in the sand without risking being
[00:25:24] disturbed.
[00:25:27] This week in Bil Retour, we take you to the north of France,
[00:25:31] how has the situation of migrants evolved over the last 10
[00:25:34] years in Calais and its surroundings since the dismantling
[00:25:38] of the camp nicknamed the great jungle. This place
[00:25:41] sheltered thousands of people. They all had the same
[00:25:44] dream, to cross the Channel and reach the
[00:25:47] United Kingdom.
[00:25:54] Today, there are dozens of smaller
[00:25:58] jungles spread over a wider area along the
[00:26:01] coastline. So we understand that they need to be as low as possible,
[00:26:05] so there are teams working 7 days a week to collect waste, the police are still trying
[00:26:09] to prevent them from getting into makeshift boats and
[00:26:12] dismantling the camps, but the number of migrants has not
[00:26:16] decreased, always ready to risk their lives to achieve their
[00:26:19] dreams. Bil Retour, Calais from jungle to
[00:26:23] jungle, a report to see on France
[00:26:26] 24.
[00:26:29] Last year France 24 reached a milestone in its history.

[00:29:33] Hello, hello family, it's your Molodoy leader Inos B and I'm on

[00:29:39] Jujulos
[00:29:43] show, peace, light, love on
[00:29:46] you, one love, I didn't tidy up properly

[00:29:53] love on you, one love
[00:29:56] let's go urban
[00:29:59] legends to see on France
[00:30:03] 24,
[00:30:07] you are watching L'Essentiel Weekend on France 24, good evening everyone, in the headlines this
[00:30:10] Saturday evening, Pope Leo XIV's prayer for France in the Lourdes
[00:30:14] grotto, the sovereign pontiff continues his visit to France,
[00:30:17] he was a little earlier in the day in Paris to celebrate a large mass
[00:30:21] on the Place de la Concorde, some 800,000 people according to the
[00:30:24] Vatican had made the trip to attend the
[00:30:26] service. Also in the news is the rejection by the
[00:30:30] United States of the Iranian plan to open the Strait of Hormuz, it had
[00:30:34] been submitted yesterday in Washington, for the American
[00:30:36] president, it is an admission of weakness on the part of the Iranian authorities who are
[00:30:40] reportedly losing. Finally, thousands
[00:30:43] of people in the streets of Madrid against Pedro
[00:30:46] Sanchez's government, accusing him of not protecting Spain's borders after the influx of
[00:30:50] migrants this summer in Ceuta, a mobilization
[00:30:53] supported by the right and far
[00:30:55] right.
