[00:00:07] This is the night edition, good evening,
[00:00:08] Earth, that's not a welcome, thank you for joining us on
[00:00:10] France 24 and France Info. Here are the headlines for this
[00:00:13] news report.
[00:00:16] An attack on Riyadh airport this Saturday resulted in at least
[00:00:19] 12 deaths. This is the largest attack in a Gulf country since the beginning of the war in
[00:00:23] Iran. It is attributed to the Houthi rebels of Yemen.
[00:00:26] Americans are among the victims. Donald Trump said he would decide quickly
[00:00:30] on an American response.
[00:00:34] Ukraine must have a new president. This is
[00:00:37] Donald Trump calling for the replacement of Volodymyr Zelensky. Europeans say
[00:00:42] Europe, both EU member states and they remain in solidarity with Ukraine, especially after the agreement between Russia and
[00:00:45] the Americans on Russian Diesel deliveries.
[00:00:48] Explanation in this report.
[00:00:51] And finally, you will hear the first words of Sophie Adenot after her return to
[00:00:55] Earth. The astronaut arrived in Germany and her first steps were not
[00:00:59] easy, as you will see.
[00:01:13] At least 12 dead in Saudi Arabia and more than 300 injured in an attack on
[00:01:17] Riyadh airport, according to figures from Saudi civil aviation. The attack is
[00:01:21] attributed to these pro-Iranian
[00:01:25] main customer, notably of Houthi rebels. Saudi Arabia reports a projectile falling near another international airport
[00:01:28] in Dammam and also confirms the interception of
[00:01:32] ballistic missiles in the evening. This is in any case the
[00:01:35] deadliest attack in a Gulf country since the start of the war in Iran, with a death toll
[00:01:39] of 12, including 8 foreigners and an American. Donald
[00:01:42] Trump has reacted. Details with Alice
[00:01:45] Broga.
[00:01:47] In front of Riyadh airport, a line of ambulances and
[00:01:51] disoriented passengers. These are the rare images currently coming from
[00:01:55] Saudi Arabia, after the
[00:01:58] Niaya spent a large part of deadly strike that targeted the capital's airport. On Saturday around 3 p.m., witnesses described
[00:02:02] scenes of chaos with hundreds of injured and dozens of ambulances
[00:02:06] called in urgently. The General Authority of Civil Aviation
[00:02:09] indicated that the attack caused several injuries whose condition is being
[00:02:14] exceeded the legal powers of evaluated. It specified that airport operations were
[00:02:16] temporarily suspended pending a full assessment of the damage and
[00:02:20] verification of the safety of the facilities in coordination with the
[00:02:24] competent authorities. All flights to Riyadh were
[00:02:28] diverted or canceled. Later in
[00:02:30] the evening, authorities reported the fall of a projectile near another
[00:02:34] airport, that of Dammam in the east of the kingdom. These
[00:02:37] attacks, which have not been claimed, are attributed to the
[00:02:40] Houthi rebels of Yemen who oppose Yemeni government forces
[00:02:44] supported by Saudi Arabia and who launched a
[00:02:47] lightning offensive in September, strengthening their grip on the strategic
[00:02:51] strait of Bab-el-Mandeb. In recent days, the scale and
[00:02:55] frequency of attacks targeting Riyadh has increased. The city's airport
[00:02:58] has already been targeted twice this week. Several people have been
[00:03:03] to see if it is possible to killed and injured. To counter the Houthi, the Saudi kingdom has been seeking
[00:03:05] for weeks to obtain military aid from its American ally
[00:03:09] without success. Donald Trump remained vague on the subject
[00:03:12] Saturday before journalists. Have you decided to join the Saudi
[00:03:16] strikes? It's possible, we'll see. How soon
[00:03:20] ? We just learned about the attack, we will make a decision and act very
[00:03:23] quickly. These strikes on Riyadh occur shortly
[00:03:27] before the holding in October in the kingdom of a major annual
[00:03:30] investment conference that attracts visitors from all over the
[00:03:33] world. And in the Strait of Hormuz this time, a tanker was
[00:03:37] hit by a projectile, which caused a fire on board, according to the British
[00:03:41] maritime surveillance center. The crew was
[00:03:44] safely evacuated, but no
[00:03:46] Cafars party. This is an opposition information on any environmental damage
[00:03:49] is available. And then it's a furious Donald Trump who
[00:03:53] on Saturday attacked Volodymyr Zelensky, stating that it is time for Ukraine
[00:03:57] twice our weight again, it's the end of to have a new president, I
[00:03:58] in an investigation, and which therefore fuels the anger of quote, "to end the conflict" with Russia. Let's first listen to Donald Trump and then we will
[00:04:02] look at the reactions.
[00:04:05] Zelensky could have settled this conflict many times, and he chose
[00:04:09] not to do so.
[00:04:12] Let's move on to space. She's back from You know what I suggest? I suggest
[00:04:14] that Ukrainians find a new leader who can make deals.
[00:04:18] Zelensky could have made many and he didn't. Europeans have obviously reacted
[00:04:23] to be crumbling, that of strongly to this new verbal jousting by the American
[00:04:25] president, but also to the US-Russia agreement announced Friday, which consists of
[00:04:29] delivering Russian diesel to global markets to lower prices,
[00:04:33] despite Western sanctions against Moscow. Emmanuel Macron and
[00:04:37] Andy Burnham have reaffirmed their full support for Kyiv. Leo
[00:04:41] Pechar.
[00:04:43] Following Donald Trump's remarks about his
[00:04:46] her eyes filled with Ukrainian counterpart, reactions of support for Volodymyr Zelensky were not
[00:04:49] long in coming. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham,
[00:04:53] Ukraine's main supporter, expressed
[00:04:55] but always her sense of his total solidarity. A call for a
[00:04:58] change of Ukrainian president.
[00:05:08] As the leader of an opposition party, I have only one answer to that, we act in accordance with the constitution.
[00:05:13] And this decision does not belong to any other leader, only the Ukrainian
[00:05:16] people decide who they will elect and
[00:05:19] when. Volodymyr Zelensky can also count on the
[00:05:23] support of the European Union, which continues to stand united behind him.
[00:05:26] The 27 have also severely criticized the controversial agreement on
[00:05:30] Russian diesel between the United States and Russia, a
[00:05:33] delivery of 300,000 tons of diesel from October to American
[00:05:37] territory and the world market. For the head of European
[00:05:40] diplomacy, Kayalas. This agreement provides Moscow with
[00:05:44] more revenue to finance the war. Russian brothers have killed more
[00:05:47] than 80 Ukrainian civilians in 2 days. Moreover, it has
[00:05:51] intensified its attacks against
[00:05:54] NATO allies. There is no question of easing pressure on Russia
[00:05:58] at this time, and Europe will not do so. The European
[00:06:01] Union promises to strengthen its sanctions against Moscow.
[00:06:05] On Monday, it will add 1,600 names to the blacklist of individuals and
[00:06:09] entities targeted by these measures.
[00:06:12] And back to the Middle East, no elections in the state of Palestine for another year, this is
[00:06:16] an announcement by Mahmoud Abbas as speculation was rife regarding
[00:06:20] this new postponement. Legislative elections were to be
[00:06:24] held at the end of November, but due to, and I quote, "obstacles erected by Israel," they
[00:06:27] are postponed until September 2027 for a double legislative and
[00:06:31] presidential election. Israel disputes its responsibility, arguing
[00:06:35] that the Palestinian president has not organized national elections for 20
[00:06:38] years. The holding of elections is part of the
[00:06:42] reforms demanded by the international community in
[00:06:45] Palestine. In the meantime, millions of
[00:06:47] Gazans are still suffering from hunger despite aid. It
[00:06:51] will have severe long-term consequences, warn humanitarian
[00:06:55] associations and
[00:06:55] Nadji.
[00:06:59] In front of this community kitchen,
[00:07:02] the wait can last several hours to hope to leave with
[00:07:05] a ration of bread or rice.
[00:07:11] the morning. This Gazan mother of eight children must feed
[00:07:15] her eight children who live in makeshift shelters.
[00:07:18] Her husband was seriously injured in the legs during an Israeli
[00:07:21] bombing. One of Niaya's children suffered
[00:07:25] from malnutrition during the last famine.
[00:07:29] Since then, the situation has barely improved and these
[00:07:32] rations will be the only meal of the day for this
[00:07:35] family.
[00:07:39] I suffer from asthma, but I go to the community kitchen to bring
[00:07:50] If we don't get food from the community kitchen, the children remain hungry, with nothing, no income, no one to take care of us or help
[00:07:54] us. In August 2025,
[00:07:57] the United Nations had declared a state of famine in the Palestinian
[00:08:01] enclave. With the ceasefire coming into effect 2
[00:08:04] months later, the humanitarian situation was supposed to improve,
[00:08:07] but the food emergency persists.
[00:08:10] According to the...
[00:08:12] approximately 140,000 people are in a situation of food
[00:08:16] insecurity, 200,000 Gazans on the verge of
[00:08:20] starvation. There is an increase in affections affecting
[00:08:24] the immune system, these problems, non-existent before the war, are
[00:08:27] more frequent. Cognitive development is also
[00:08:30] affected because children do not receive sufficient quantities of
[00:08:33] vitamins and minerals. Doctors
[00:08:36] say that repeated episodes of acute malnutrition in these
[00:08:40] children can cause cognitive and
[00:08:43] physical disabilities for the rest of their
[00:08:45] lives.
[00:08:47] In India, a strong repression took place this Saturday to prevent a demonstration from
[00:08:51] taking place, a repression that consisted of numerous arrests,
[00:08:55] including those of the leaders of the
[00:08:58] party supported by young people, which challenges the Indian electoral
[00:09:01] commission by saying that millions of voters have been unfairly
[00:09:05] removed from the lists, a thesis that one of the main Indian media outlets also reported
[00:09:10] the streets. This Saturday, more than 5,000 people who were trying
[00:09:14] to go to the demonstration were arrested, according to the newspaper The
[00:09:18] Hindu.
[00:09:24] space, Sophie Adenot, back on European soil now. This was her
[00:09:28] first public appearance since her splashdown on Thursday off the coast of
[00:09:31] California. It happened at the European Astronaut Centre in
[00:09:35] Cologne. Her speech was punctuated by tears of joy, a lot
[00:09:38] of emotion to bear witness to this journey. Her return to Earth, she explains,
[00:09:42] is not so easy to live through. Watch.
[00:09:45] Standing, but still wobbly, Sophie Adenot set
[00:09:48] foot on European soil, supported
[00:09:51] by two doctors. She did not lose her smile, applauded by her
[00:09:55] loved ones and colleagues, she spoke,
[00:09:58] tears. Sorry for
[00:10:01] the emotion, a lot
[00:10:04] of emotion,
[00:10:08] humor.
[00:10:11] It's funny to have tears flowing downwards, I wasn't used to that for 8
[00:10:15] months.
[00:10:17] Not used to motion sickness and seasickness either, which
[00:10:21] seized her in the first seconds on Thursday upon her return.
[00:10:27] Being propelled into space was a piece of
[00:10:30] cake for me, but coming back to
[00:10:33] piece of cake. 400 km from Earth,
[00:10:37] Sophie Adenot says she has gained perspective on the tensions
[00:10:41] that are shaking the planet.
[00:10:44] I looked for borders, I looked for divisions,
[00:10:48] I saw none. From her
[00:10:50] space odyssey, the 44-year-old Frenchwoman keeps
[00:10:54] images that she describes as sublime. I will
[00:10:57] remember all my life this absolutely incredible
[00:11:00] aurora borealis that I shared the video of on social
[00:11:03] networks. It was a dance, a dance of this green
[00:11:07] flow all over the planet. You go through all the
[00:11:10] emotions, sometimes it's an intense
[00:11:13] euphoria of all this
[00:11:15] beauty, and sometimes it
[00:11:19] hits you hard. During these 8 months in
[00:11:22] weightlessness, she admits she did not always feel
[00:11:26] in her place, especially during the fires in Gironde which
[00:11:29] affected her family. The really difficult moments, in fact, are when something
[00:11:33] happens to your loved ones and you are far away, and then there's a moment
[00:11:36] when a thought crosses your mind, "What am I doing here?"
[00:11:40] Contemplating the five continents from above reinforced her
[00:11:44] conviction: the urgent need is to preserve the
[00:11:47] Earth. We see the effects of climate change, but
[00:11:50] we see them, it's impressive, the lakes that are dried up, the Aral Sea
[00:11:54] that... that is shrinking. Sophie Adenot will now
[00:11:58] re-acclimatize to Earth, 3 weeks of intensive
[00:12:01] rehabilitation to regain her muscle strength
[00:12:04] await her. We listened to Sophie Adenot talk about her life in
[00:12:07] space and with that, about weightlessness. One needs a lot
[00:12:10] of training for this, for example, by performing parabolic
[00:12:14] flights that simulate zero gravity. This is what our
[00:12:17] reporter Sylvain Rousseau did when he went to the CNES center in Bordeaux, where
[00:12:21] the laboratory plane is located. Watch this report. I am in
[00:12:25] Bordeaux and I am preparing to board this plane, an Airbus A310
[00:12:29] modified by Novespace. It is no longer so much an airplane as
[00:12:33] a laboratory whose purpose is to conduct scientific
[00:12:36] experiments in
[00:12:37] weightlessness.
[00:12:42] A parabolic flight, as its name suggests, the plane makes parabolas, it first climbs at an
[00:12:46] angle of 40 degrees, everything feels extremely heavy, and when the injection
[00:12:49] sounds, well, that's it, we are in weightlessness. It is at this moment that
[00:12:53] the experiments can begin. Experiments which, for some, are also
[00:12:57] intended to be tested later in the space station, this is the first phase of testing,
[00:13:01] injection means that we inject the plane into this orbital
[00:13:04] arc portion which allows us to be in weightlessness, and
[00:13:08] this is a principle of parabolic flight which allows us to place these
[00:13:11] experiments in a situation impossible to recreate, which is very useful
[00:13:15] for scientists because it allows them to unveil phenomena that are
[00:13:18] masked by gravity. This
[00:13:21] plasma will be used to heal wounds. The final idea of testing
[00:13:24] it at 0g is precisely
[00:13:28] use it for astronauts. This would allow to carry less cream and just have
[00:13:31] gas and electricity. 31 parabolas of 22 seconds,
[00:13:35] everything will float, and that's why everything is fixed to the ground, why computers, why all the
[00:13:38] equipment is protected. There are also experiments that have a real concrete
[00:13:42] application on Earth. We think of course of medicine and biology in particular. We
[00:13:46] deal with medical emergencies in
[00:13:49] situations of weightlessness. The goal
[00:13:52] is, if there is respiratory distress, to avoid intubation.
[00:13:58] which is quite invasive and already quite technical on Earth, we are working on the capacities of the inner ear, a malfunction when gravity
[00:14:02] is modified could very largely explain space sickness, the illness astronauts
[00:14:06] experience, and by extension, if we could explain
[00:14:09] it and treat it, we could also quite easily transfer that
[00:14:13] to terrestrial motion sickness.
[00:14:16] And pull out! Already 22 seconds of weightlessness, we weigh
[00:14:22] the parabola, and back to... That's how this
[00:14:26] news report ends. Thank you for watching. Stay tuned to our channel, the
[00:14:29] next news edition will be back in about fifteen minutes.
[00:14:51] get out, get out, I'm 19 years old.
[00:14:56] This man was in his car when men in military uniform stopped him
[00:15:00] and forcibly took him away to enlist in the Ukrainian
[00:15:03] army, and this without them having first
[00:15:06] checked if he was eligible for
[00:15:08] recruitment.
[00:15:13] On Ukrainian social networks, we find many such videos of men being illegally
[00:15:17] arrested in order to be then mobilized to the
[00:15:21] front. These incidents are referred to by the
[00:15:24] neologism of "buscification", i.e. the forced placement
[00:15:27] of men into minibuses or vans. According to
[00:15:31] the Human Rights Commissioner of the Ukrainian Parliament, 6127
[00:15:35] complaints of rights violations during the construction.
[00:16:07] kept riding past them and then silently i dropped to the
[00:16:11] ground. i'm sure that they hit my
[00:16:14] bike, maybe with the leg or with the doors of
[00:16:18] car, this i'm not sure, but i'm sure that they dropped me. then they
[00:16:22] took me by my hands and put me in the car. no one
[00:16:26] introduced themselves, no one showed any
[00:16:29] autorization, they just took me and put me in the car. He was
[00:16:33] then sent to a military unit where he had to undergo
[00:16:36] training before going to the front, but his leg was still
[00:16:39] hurting him. He was eventually taken to the hospital.
[00:16:43] The verdict: his leg was broken as a result of his fall.
[00:16:47] He is currently on sick leave. According to Ukrainian
[00:16:50] law, recruitment officers can check military documents
[00:16:53] and issue conscription notices, but they cannot
[00:16:57] detain conscripts. They are
[00:17:01] required to identify themselves during checks. All Ukrainians over
[00:17:04] 25 can be mobilized, but
[00:17:07] exemptions exist, particularly for people with disabilities or suffering from
[00:17:10] specific health problems, for certain parents and caregivers, certain
[00:17:14] students, teachers and employees. According to
[00:17:18] images taken in Odessa, the men in uniform did not ask for papers from
[00:17:21] the man who was arrested and had his face
[00:17:25] masked. An internal investigation concluded that
[00:17:28] they had committed misconduct, without further details.
[00:17:32] précision.
[00:17:37] We were able to locate this incident,
[00:17:40] widely reported on social networks in Kyiv. Witnesses confirmed
[00:17:43] the facts to us, and according to several lawyers we consulted,
[00:17:47] this is an arrest that may have
[00:17:51] the police. They blocked the street with their
[00:17:55] cars. He lived right here, next to
[00:17:59] me.
[00:18:05] They attacked him like a dog.
[00:18:37] to detain anyone, to touch anyone, they only have the right to check
[00:18:40] military registration documents or hand over a summons, that's how it should be according to
[00:18:44] the law. In practice, we see many cases where,
[00:18:48] well, people are not even asked for documents, they are not introduced
[00:18:51] and immediately put into a car.
[00:18:55] A man raising a child with a disability was detained. Right now, a person is being held in the
[00:18:58] Holosiivskyi TCC, we are nearby, they are not letting us
[00:19:02] in, we handed over all the documents, originals, the person has the right to a
[00:19:05] deferment, they don't want to accept it.
[00:20:07] according to current procedures as soon as they are officially reported. Videos
[00:20:11] of these forced mobilizations have increased mistrust among Ukrainians. In
[00:20:15] July, young people overturned the car of a recruitment official
[00:20:18] in Lviv. This phenomenon has not escaped Russia,
[00:20:22] which does not hesitate to disseminate allegations of forced recruitment with
[00:20:26] artificial intelligence-generated videos. Russia, which
[00:20:30] also carries out forced mobilizations and goes as far as
[00:20:33] recruiting foreign nationals with deception. Nearly 5 years
[00:20:37] after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, both sides are struggling to
[00:20:41] recruit additional men, and the question of enlistment has become more
[00:20:44] central than
[00:20:45] ever.
[00:20:49] This is the end of this Observateurs broadcast. You can find all our content on the
[00:20:53] France 24 website, in the Observateurs section, and on our social
[00:20:56] networks. See
[00:20:57] you soon.
[00:21:01] Welcome to the weeklies with Antoine Feno, hello Antoine,
[00:21:05] hello, so what will you be talking about this week? First of all, a review, yes, a review,
[00:21:08] or even a reckoning, you might say. There's no need to wait until April
[00:21:11] 2027. The weekly press is already looking at Emmanuel Macron's
[00:21:15] record, and it must be said that it is not very flattering, at least in terms of cold hard
[00:21:19] cash. We are of course talking about the debt. So L'Express, as you can see, is rather
[00:21:22] alarmist on its front page and tells us that it will suffer, who will pay the debt in a certain
[00:21:26] way, because this is also a part of the legacy of Emmanuel Macron and his two
[00:21:29] terms. A debt that some say is astronomical:
[00:21:32] 3595 billion euros, 119
[00:21:36] % of France's gross domestic product, is simply dizzying. So
[00:21:39] naturally, everyone has their own recipe for reducing the amount and also for finding
[00:21:43] those responsible, as you can imagine. L'Express, as a good
[00:21:46] liberal daily, says it is irresponsible, of course, to take on
[00:21:50] this debt at the risk, and rightly so, of being strangled by
[00:21:54] these interest rates, especially since these interest rates are soaring with the
[00:21:57] international context. It is therefore ultimately less room for
[00:22:01] maneuver for the state, and above all, as the weekly reminds us, it is these debts
[00:22:05] that the poorest are likely to pay. This is also the opinion of an economist, as you can
[00:22:08] see, rather left-leaning, who served in the government of
[00:22:12] Pierre Bérégovoy. We must give pledges of rigor to creditors, he says, we are
[00:22:15] forced to do so. But nothing is lost, we will just have to
[00:22:19] make difficult decisions for a few years. He does not say
[00:22:23] exactly how long, 5, 10 years, but he says
[00:22:27] that's what Spain did and it worked with no
[00:22:30] magic recipe: less spending, more revenue. Also reassuring,
[00:22:34] this economist tells us, is that France is not Greece, it
[00:22:38] is not in the same situation, its debt always finds buyers on the
[00:22:41] markets. What is worrying are the interest rates, of course, and the
[00:22:45] amount that precisely weakens this same France. And where does
[00:22:49] this debt come from? Well, that's the whole question, and that's what La
[00:22:52] Croix asked in its weekly edition this week: where does this debt come from, what
[00:22:56] is this debt, La Croix tells us on the front page. What
[00:22:59] is it composed of? All of this is a kind of small assessment without
[00:23:03] blaming anyone, which is rather to be commended. The article
[00:23:06] offers us some graphs that I have selected for you and which are quite
[00:23:10] illuminating. First of all, this debt is also, as you can see in recent
[00:23:13] months, that of the French social model, social protection
[00:23:17] and pensions. Social security and pensions represent
[00:23:20] 934 billion euros in spending in 2024, which is more than
[00:23:23] half of the state's spending that you see here, right here,
[00:23:27] 1671 billion. And all this
[00:23:30] is caused in part by demography, by a
[00:23:34] population that is aging, by an increasing number of retirees, and
[00:23:37] also with the corollary of this same analysis, health expenses,
[00:23:40] necessarily an aging population is a population that needs more care, which is also
[00:23:44] increasing, all this without counting the deficit, as you have understood, which accentuates the burden of the debt.
[00:23:48] Another infographic that I have recovered, compiled by La
[00:23:52] Croix, excuse me, and which is illuminating, is this one, as you can see. So why do
[00:23:56] some countries with a manageable debt and
[00:23:59] a high debt, specifically, well, it all depends on who holds this
[00:24:03] debt. That's the whole issue. You can see, for example, behind me, this large pie chart here, this is
[00:24:07] Japan's debt. Japanese debt approaches 200
[00:24:11] % of its GDP. And yet, it is held
[00:24:14] mostly by the Japanese themselves, and that changes everything. Thanks
[00:24:18] to strong savings, Japan finances itself at much
[00:24:22] lower rates on the markets. This is not the case for France, of course.
[00:24:26] Let's leave aside the United States, which also has a very high debt, but
[00:24:29] whose currency, the dollar, the loans immunize against many risks. So much for
[00:24:33] the diagnosis, what awaits future leaders.
[00:24:36] Some candidates are in the hot seat, specifically the
[00:24:40] National Rally and its president, Jordan
[00:24:44] Bardella, after the revelations by our colleagues at Mediapart about
[00:24:47] his alleged anti-Semitic writings. The party is in a difficult
[00:24:50] situation. So, this week, Le Nouvel Obs is attacking and presenting
[00:24:54] the RN as the party of lies.
[00:24:58] The RN also presented its economic program, the costing of
[00:25:01] then questions the L'Obs tells us that the RN is the
[00:25:05] party of lies because behind this
[00:25:08] displayed "de-demonization," ultimately it's the whole facade that seems
[00:25:13] de-demonization already bogged down, L'Obs reminds us, in the scandal of
[00:25:17] parliamentary assistants and the conviction of its candidate in the first instance, and
[00:25:21] Marine Le Pen is appealing, the commentators are wondering if this will be the final blow that
[00:25:25] will ultimately prevent the party from not reaching the second round,
[00:25:29] but from reaching power, from failing at the last hurdle, if you'll allow me
[00:25:32] the expression. Each election, however, L'Obs reminds us, sees
[00:25:35] its collection of black sheep, homophobes,
[00:25:38] racists, anti-Semites emerge, but the head of the aisle had held up until now,
[00:25:42] and with this de-demonization strategy, these
[00:25:45] revelations about Jordan Bardella are devastating and
[00:25:48] many, uh... many convinced, pardon me, and the
[00:25:52] RN could forgive Jordan Bardella, especially the voters of others, especially
[00:25:56] in any case in four second rounds, they could make him pay, remember that
[00:25:59] the back office is far less brilliant than the counter, if we can... say,
[00:26:03] particularly on the right, rather moderate, where rallies now appear
[00:26:07] more complicated. Speaking of the far-right in difficulty, you wanted to talk to us about
[00:26:10] Donald Trump, with an elephant in the room that many
[00:26:13] Republican elected officials pretend not to see, the president is
[00:26:17] the guarantee of a announced defeat. Elephant, in the literal sense,
[00:26:21] it's also the chosen cover, as you can see, by the weekly version of
[00:26:24] The Guardian, it's not his circus, the headline tells us, who notably
[00:26:28] went to Ohio where voters are far from convinced by the billionaire's
[00:26:32] record. Far-right elephant, I specify this because it is the symbol of the
[00:26:35] Republican party, and why does this elephant want to oust Donald Trump?
[00:26:39] Well, because Republican elected officials would like to disconnect from the
[00:26:42] president and especially from his record, as I said, record inflation, Iran
[00:26:46] war. Trump disappoints and above all personalizes the vote, and
[00:26:49] that doesn't please Republican candidates, especially in
[00:26:53] Iowa, International Mail tells us, a rural state in the
[00:26:57] Midwest ordinarily acquired to the Republican cause, and so
[00:27:01] the weekly focuses on... these farmers, in particular, it's a very
[00:27:04] agricultural state, fed up and especially
[00:27:07] strangled by inflation and fuel prices. Farmers, the first
[00:27:11] victims, also of the customs duties wanted by the American president which
[00:27:15] increase the price of their harvests. You add to that the price of diesel which
[00:27:18] is exploding because of the war against Iran, and you have a population in great
[00:27:22] difficulty, and icing on the cake, the weekly tells us, guess who is the
[00:27:27] ethanol produced thanks to the harvests of Iowa farmers? Well,
[00:27:31] it's Canada. So, International Mail tells us, voters risk
[00:27:34] making the Republicans pay, 94 counties out of 99 in Iowa had voted
[00:27:38] for Donald Trump in the state
[00:27:42] during the presidential election, well, that's unlikely to be the
[00:27:45] case. Thank you, Antoine. That was in the weeklies.
[00:30:06] The night edition, good evening, welcome, thank you for joining us on
[00:30:10] France 24 and France Info. Here are the headlines of this
[00:30:13] news report: an attack on Riyadh airport
[00:30:17] this Saturday kills at least 12 people. It's the biggest attack in a
[00:30:21] Gulf country since the beginning of the war in Iran. It's attributed to the
[00:30:24] Houthi rebels in Yemen. There are Americans among the victims. Donald
[00:30:28] Trump said he would quickly decide on an American response.
[00:30:34] Ukraine must have a new president. This is Donald
[00:30:37] Trump calling for the replacement of Volodymyr Zelensky. The Europeans say
[00:30:41] they remain united with Ukraine, notably after the agreement between Russia and
[00:30:45] America on Russian diesel deliveries
[00:30:48] (explanation in this news report).
[00:30:51] Then finally, you will hear the first words of Sophie Adenot after her return to
[00:30:55] Earth. The astronaut arrived in Germany and her first steps were not
[00:30:59] the most...
