[00:00:00] Liric, the event to experience on France
[00:00:05] but always her sense of 24. Hello, welcome, thank you for following us on
[00:00:09] France 24 and France info, here are the headlines of this
[00:00:11] newspaper.
[00:00:14] An attack on Riyadh airport this Saturday evening killed at least 12 people, an attack
[00:00:17] attributed to the Yemeni rebel Houthi, there is an American among
[00:00:21] the victims, Donald Trump said he would quickly decide on an
[00:00:24] American response.
[00:00:27] And Ukraine which must have a new. president, that's also Donald
[00:00:31] Earth... It's not Trump's reaction who calls for replacing
[00:00:34] Volodimir Zelenski, the Europeans say they are united with
[00:00:39] Europe, both EU member states and NATO Ukraine, especially after the agreement between Russia and Americans on Russian diesel
[00:00:43] deliveries, and finally, you will hear the first words
[00:00:46] of Sophie Anno after her return to Earth, the French astronaut
[00:00:50] arrived in Germany, her first steps were not the easiest, you
[00:00:56] Johannesburg under the eyes of will see.
[00:01:06] At least 12 dead in Saudi Arabia and more than 300 injured in an attack on
[00:01:10] Riyadh airport according to the figures of Saudi
[00:01:13] civil aviation. The attack is attributed to the Houthi, a
[00:01:16] pro-Iranian rebel. Saudi Arabia speaks
[00:01:19] of a projectile that also fell near
[00:01:21] disputes precisely around another international airport, that of Dammam, and confirms
[00:01:24] the interception in the evening of ballistic missiles. This is in any case the deadliest
[00:01:28] attack in this country since 10 years, also a serious escalation
[00:01:31] , as the UN describes it, a toll
[00:01:36] requiring the Ministry of the Interior of 12 dead, 8 foreigners including an American Donald Trump also
[00:01:39] reacted by speaking of an unacceptable attack, the
[00:01:42] details with Alice Broga:
[00:01:46] in front of Riyadh airport, a line of ambulances and
[00:01:49] disoriented passengers, these are the rare images that are currently reaching
[00:01:53] Saudi Arabia, after the deadly strike that targeted
[00:01:56] the capital's airport on Saturday around 3 p.m., at least
[00:02:00] describe scenes of chaos with hundreds of injured and dozens of ambulances
[00:02:04] called urgently. The General Civil Aviation Authority
[00:02:08] indicated that the attack caused several injuries whose condition is currently
[00:02:11] being evaluated. It specified that airport operations were
[00:02:14] temporarily suspended pending a complete evaluation of the damage and the
[00:02:20] how we close our Africa news verification of the safety of the facilities in coordination with the
[00:02:22] competent authorities. All flights to Riyadh were
[00:02:25] diverted or canceled. Later in the evening, the authorities
[00:02:29] reported the fall of a projectile near another airport, that
[00:02:33] of Dammam in the east of the
[00:02:35] explains to us, under the kingdom. These attacks, which have not been claimed, are
[00:02:38] attributed to the Houthi rebels from Yemen who oppose the Yemeni
[00:02:41] government forces supported by Saudi Arabia and who
[00:02:45] launched a lightning offensive in September, strengthening their grip on
[00:02:48] the strategic Bab el- Mandeb Strait. In recent
[00:02:51] days, the scale and frequency of attacks targeting Riyadh has
[00:02:55] increased. The city's airport has already been targeted twice this
[00:02:58] week, several people. have been killed and injured. To counter the
[00:03:02] Houthi, the Saudi kingdom has been seeking military assistance from its American ally for
[00:03:05] weeks without success. Donald Trump remained
[00:03:09] vague on the subject Saturday in front of
[00:03:12] journalists. Have you decided to join the Saudi
[00:03:15] strikes? It's possible, we'll see. How soon
[00:03:18] ? We just heard about the attack, we're going to make a decision and act very
[00:03:21] quickly. These strikes on Riyadh occur shortly
[00:03:26] verification of before the annual
[00:03:27] use it for astronauts, large conference on investment in the kingdom in October, which attracts
[00:03:31] visitors from all over the world.
[00:03:34] And in the Strait of Hormuz this time, a tanker was hit by a projectile, which declared a
[00:03:38] fire on board according to the British Navy monitoring center, the crew
[00:03:42] was able to be secured but no information is available on potential damage to
[00:03:46] the environment. And then a furious Donald Trump
[00:03:50] also attacked Vladimir Zelensky this Saturday, saying it is time for
[00:03:53] Ukraine to have a new president to end the conflict with
[00:03:57] Russia. Let's first listen to Donald Trump and then look at the
[00:04:01] to scams around land and reactions.
[00:04:04] be very broadly explained, space Zelensky could have resolved this conflict many times over and he
[00:04:08] chose not to do so. You know what I
[00:04:11] suggest? I suggest that Ukrainians find a new leader
[00:04:15] who can make deals. Zelensky could have made many and he didn't
[00:04:19] do it. The
[00:04:21] twice our weight again, this is the end of Europeans reacted strongly to this new jousting from the American president, but also to
[00:04:25] the US-Russia agreement announced on Friday, which consists of
[00:04:28] deliveries of Russian diesel to global markets to lower prices, despite Western
[00:04:32] sanctions against Moscow, Emmanuel Macron and Andy Burnham
[00:04:36] reiterated their support for Kyiv, Leo
[00:04:38] Pejar. After Donald Trump's remarks about his
[00:04:42] Ukrainian counterpart, expressions of support for Volodimir Zelenski were not
[00:04:46] right, welcome to your African news long in coming. British Prime
[00:04:47] rallies behind the head of Minister Andy Burnham,
[00:04:50] a key supporter of Ukraine, expressed his full
[00:04:53] solidarity. A call for a change of Ukrainian president
[00:04:56] also very badly received in Ukraine, particularly by the party of...
[00:05:03] As head of an opposition party, I have only one answer to that, we
[00:05:07] act according to the Ukrainian constitution, and this decision
[00:05:10] belongs to no one else.
[00:05:13] Only the Ukrainian people decide who they will elect and
[00:05:16] when. Volodimir Zelenski can also count on the
[00:05:20] support of the European Union, which continues to stand united behind him. The
[00:05:24] 27 also severely criticized the controversial agreement on
[00:05:27] Russian diesel between the United States and Russia, a
[00:05:30] delivery of 300,000 tons of diesel as early as October to American
[00:05:34] territory and to the global market. For the head of European
[00:05:37] diplomacy, Kaya Kalalas, this agreement provides Moscow
[00:05:40] the war, Russian expenses have killed
[00:05:44] more than 80 Ukrainian civilians in 2 days, in addition, it has
[00:05:48] intensified its attacks that target
[00:05:51] allies. There is no question of easing pressure on
[00:05:55] Russia right now, and Europe will not do it. The European
[00:05:58] Union promises to strengthen its sanctions against Moscow.
[00:06:02] On Monday, it will add 1600 names to the blacklist of individuals and
[00:06:06] entities targeted by these measures.
[00:06:09] In the climate chapter in the southern United States. Isaias killed at
[00:06:13] least four people, it was a hurricane, the first of the season, since
[00:06:17] downgraded to tropical storm, it hit the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico,
[00:06:21] notably Alabama and Florida, tropical rains are
[00:06:24] also expected in the coming hours and a rise in water levels remains a concern,
[00:06:28] hundreds of thousands of users are also without
[00:06:30] electricity,
[00:06:34] and then data center or not data center, the establishment of the largest
[00:06:38] data center in Europe on the land of Sénart east
[00:06:41] of Paris divides. They say: there are those who are for and who want to accelerate the
[00:06:45] process so as not to undergo the rather long
[00:06:47] regulation, and those who are concerned about the environmental
[00:06:50] consequences of the project, so are the two visions
[00:06:53] irreconcilable what can the project bring,
[00:06:57] Anne Silvin's explanations for France
[00:06:59] 2.
[00:07:01] It's a corner of the countryside south of Paris,
[00:07:05] here is Fouju, a small town of 650
[00:07:08] souls, it is there that the largest data center in Europe should
[00:07:12] emerge, costing 50 billion euros, we
[00:07:16] recreated it by artificial intelligence from the
[00:07:20] promoter's documents, 11 buildings, 90
[00:07:23] hectares, a gigantism that worries
[00:07:27] this resident who has been living a few meters away for
[00:07:30] years, she will have all the disadvantages, all the
[00:07:33] pollution and nothing else, because
[00:07:37] to cool the site, no water is needed, but hundreds
[00:07:41] of air conditioners. which should release, among other things,
[00:07:44] PFAS, these eternal pollutants, bad
[00:07:47] news for her who tends her vegetable garden, everything will circulate, everything will
[00:07:51] infiltrate the soil, I can't anymore, it's the end
[00:07:55] of the vegetable garden, I guess so, the site
[00:07:58] would also consume the electricity production of a nuclear
[00:08:01] reactor, its neighbor fears the
[00:08:04] creation of a heat island, 2 degrees
[00:08:07] more according to an American study, given the heatwave and
[00:08:10] given climate change, well, that... won't help, it's true, the
[00:08:14] things. The project, launched more than a year ago, with
[00:08:18] great fanfare and supported by the Élysée, is already at the
[00:08:21] sanitation works stage. For its promoter, all environmental
[00:08:24] precautions have been taken and he refutes the
[00:08:28] figure of 2 degrees more heat, according to an internal
[00:08:31] investigation. The processing chips emit significant
[00:08:35] heat uh, however, there will
[00:08:38] be no heat island as demonstrated by the studies.
[00:08:42] An increase at the edge of the site of less than half a degree, on the
[00:08:46] other hand, this heat is useful, it must be reused, and that's
[00:08:49] why we have the commitment to channel this heat to the edge of the
[00:08:53] site and make it available for use by individuals and
[00:08:57] industrialists, but that's not enough to convince these associations
[00:09:00] who denounce serious attacks on the environment and biodiversity,
[00:09:04] they have filed appeals, anger in
[00:09:07] Fouju then, but also in Château or
[00:09:10] Le Bourget, the opposition against... these data center projects is
[00:09:14] increasing, thirty in France out of 104 currently
[00:09:18] being deployed, but these elected officials in Fouju, welcome with
[00:09:21] enthusiasm the project which could bring in millions of euros in
[00:09:25] tax revenue and up to 100 jobs, yes
[00:09:28] for Lacine, for the region, for the nation, for
[00:09:31] Europe, today it is an attractiveness and it
[00:09:35] will necessarily have repercussions on the local
[00:09:38] economy, some deputies are asking for a
[00:09:41] moratorium on... for the construction of these data
[00:09:44] centers,
[00:09:46] she returns from space Sophie à Dono is back on European soil, it was her
[00:09:50] first public appearance since her landing on Thursday off the coast of
[00:09:53] California, it happened at the European Astronaut Center in Cologne, her
[00:09:57] speech was punctuated by tears of joy, a lot of emotion to
[00:10:00] testify about her journey, returning to Earth, she explains, is
[00:10:04] not so easy to live with, watch,
[00:10:08] standing, but still shaky that Sophie Adno set
[00:10:11] foot on European soil, supported by
[00:10:14] doctors, she did not lose her smile, applauded by her
[00:10:18] relatives and colleagues, she spoke, her eyes filled with
[00:10:21] tears, sorry for the emotion.
[00:10:26] A lot of emotions,
[00:10:30] humor,
[00:10:33] it's funny to have tears flowing downwards, I haven't been used to that for 8
[00:10:37] months,
[00:10:40] not used to motion sickness and seasickness that seized her
[00:10:44] in the first seconds, on Thursday upon her
[00:10:47] return, being propelled into
[00:10:50] space, that was a piece of cake for me, but then coming back to
[00:10:56] easy. 400 km from Earth,
[00:11:00] Sophie Adno says she took a step back from the tensions
[00:11:04] affecting the planet. I looked for
[00:11:07] borders, I looked for divisions, I saw
[00:11:11] none. From her space odyssey, the 44-year-old
[00:11:15] Frenchwoman retains images, which she describes as
[00:11:18] sublime. I will remember all my life this
[00:11:21] absolutely incredible aurora that I shared
[00:11:25] a video of on social networks, uh, it was a dance, a dance
[00:11:29] of this green flow over the whole planet,
[00:11:32] you go through all the emotions, sometimes it's intense
[00:11:36] euphoria, of all this
[00:11:38] beauty, and sometimes it just
[00:11:42] grabs you, during these 8 months in
[00:11:45] zero gravity, she admits not always feeling in her
[00:11:48] place, particularly during the fires in Gironde which affected
[00:11:52] her family, the real difficult moments are... it's when something happens
[00:11:56] to loved ones and you're far away and then there's a moment
[00:11:59] when you think, what am I doing here ? Contemplating the
[00:12:03] five continents from above strengthened her conviction, the urgency
[00:12:06] is to preserve the earth. We see
[00:12:09] the effects of climate change, but we see them, it's impressive, the
[00:12:13] lakes that are dried up, the Aral Sea that is
[00:12:16] shrinking, Sophie Adno will now re-tame
[00:12:20] the earth, 3 weeks of intensive rehabilitation
[00:12:23] to rebuild her muscles await her, and
[00:12:26] listening to Sophie Aneno talk about her life in space and with that about weightlessness, and
[00:12:30] you have to train a lot for that, for example by performing
[00:12:34] parabolic flights that allow you to simulate 0G, that's what our
[00:12:38] reporter Sylvain Rousseau did, who went to the
[00:12:41] Cnes center in Bordeaux where the
[00:12:44] laboratory plane is located, watch his report. I am in
[00:12:48] Bordeaux and I am preparing to board this plane, an Airbus A310
[00:12:52] modified by Novespace, it is no longer so much a plane but
[00:12:55] a laboratory whose purpose is to conduct
[00:12:59] scientific experiments in weightlessness.
[00:13:02] a parabolic flight, as its name indicates, the plane makes
[00:13:07] parabolas, it first climbs at a 40° angle, everything weighs extremely
[00:13:10] heavy and when the injection sounds, well, that's it, we are in
[00:13:13] weightlessness, it is at this moment that the experiments can begin,
[00:13:17] experiments which for some are also intended to be tested later in the
[00:13:21] space station, this is the first phase of... test injection, that means we inject
[00:13:25] the plane on this portion of orbital arc which allows us to find
[00:13:28] ourselves in weightlessness and it is a principle of parabolic
[00:13:32] flight that allows these experiments to be placed in a situation
[00:13:35] impossible to recreate which is very useful for scientists because it allows to
[00:13:39] reveal phenomena that are masked by
[00:13:42] gravity, this plasma will be used to heal
[00:13:45] wounds, the final idea of testing it in 0g is precisely
[00:13:49] to see if it is possible to
[00:13:52] it allows... to carry less cream and only have
[00:13:56] gas and electricity, 31 parabolas of 22 seconds,
[00:13:59] everything will float and that's why everything is fixed to the ground, that computers, that all
[00:14:03] the equipment is protected, there are also experiments that have a real concrete
[00:14:06] application on Earth, we are of course thinking in particular of medicine and biology, we
[00:14:10] deal with medical emergencies in
[00:14:13] a weightless situation, the goal
[00:14:17] is if there is respiratory distress to avoid orotracheal intubation which
[00:14:20] is quite invasive and already quite technical on Earth, we work
[00:14:24] on the capacities of... the inner ear, a malfunction when gravity is modified to
[00:14:29] sickness, the sickness we know in astronauts, and by extension,
[00:14:33] if we could explain it and treat it, we could also quite
[00:14:37] easily transmit that to terrestrial
[00:14:38] motion sickness,
[00:14:41] and pull out, already 22 seconds of weightlessness, we weigh
[00:14:46] the parabola, end of
[00:14:49] this news, thank you for watching, stay tuned, a new news
[00:14:52] edition will be back in 15 minutes.
[00:15:08] You are on France 24 and you are
[00:15:11] tonight, anti-immigrant violence continues
[00:15:15] in South Africa despite the government's
[00:15:18] announcement of the withdrawal of a circular on asylum
[00:15:21] applications, which has not appeased the anger of protesters.
[00:15:27] Also in the headlines, intensified fighting in South
[00:15:30] Sudan, more than 70 dead in inter-communal
[00:15:33] violence, security forces claim
[00:15:37] to have regained control of the
[00:15:39] city,
[00:15:41] buying land, building one's house, investing a lifetime's
[00:15:45] savings and discovering that this land has already been sold to
[00:15:49] someone else, in Africa, land disputes can turn into a
[00:15:52] nightmare, fake documents, multiple sales, contested
[00:15:56] customary rights, how to secure property
[00:15:59] and can one really trust land titles, this is our focus this
[00:16:03] Saturday evening with lawyer Pierre
[00:16:05] Jimis.
[00:16:10] We open this news with new anti-immigrant demonstrations in
[00:16:14] South Africa where the government has announced the withdrawal of a
[00:16:17] circular on asylum seekers, but the announcement has not
[00:16:20] appeased the anger of protesters, explanations by Laurent
[00:16:24] Bersécher.
[00:16:28] Armed with sticks, protesters marched through the streets of
[00:16:33] the police. A new rally after the violent events
[00:16:37] that broke out on Thursday to denounce the presence of
[00:16:41] migrants in South Africa. We no longer want
[00:16:44] Somalis in our communities. We no longer want them in Soweto, they must
[00:16:47] return to their country.
[00:16:50] All these people came here illegally. We should put them
[00:16:53] in prison instead of regularizing them.
[00:16:57] For several months, xenophobic South African groups have been demanding the departure
[00:17:00] of undocumented foreigners
[00:17:04] accused, notably, of stealing jobs. Tensions
[00:17:08] escalated further at the end of September following a directive
[00:17:13] to accept all asylum applications, including those from people who arrived
[00:17:17] illegally in South Africa. The announcement had
[00:17:20] rekindled the anger of protesters, leading to
[00:17:23] violent rallies in several major cities this week:
[00:17:27] burnt cars, assaulted migrants and looted
[00:17:31] stores. Faced with the pressure, the government announced on Friday
[00:17:34] that it would withdraw the directive. The implementation of this directive immediately
[00:17:41] led to serious consequences, the processing of asylum
[00:17:44] applications became saturated in a few days and some ministry
[00:17:48] agents were exposed to risks. At
[00:17:52] least four migrants have died since the start of the demonstrations about
[00:17:56] 6 months ago, fearing for their safety, tens
[00:18:00] of thousands of others have fled South Africa.
[00:18:04] of South Africa.
[00:18:07] We were talking here about these clashes that took place in the city
[00:18:10] of Rumbek, in South Sudan, clashes that
[00:18:13] caused panic among the population, many inhabitants fled,
[00:18:17] others remained holed up in their homes for much of Friday,
[00:18:21] we now know a little more about the violence that caused the
[00:18:25] death of at least 71 people, details from our
[00:18:28] regional correspondent Bastien
[00:18:30] Renouille.
[00:18:32] The fighting started outside the city of Rumbek, a particularly
[00:18:35] important city located in the center of South Sudan. It
[00:18:39] seems that two groups of heavily armed young shepherds
[00:18:42] from relatively close ethnic groups clashed, groups that
[00:18:46] have been experiencing tensions for a long time. So it's impossible to say what triggered the
[00:18:50] fighting this time, but it escalated. One of the two groups managed to
[00:18:53] gain the upper hand and enter the city of Rumbek. And this
[00:18:57] group managed to take control of this city for a few hours.
[00:19:00] According to witnesses present on site, there were many gunshots heard throughout
[00:19:04] the day and very many bodies in the streets. The city at least
[00:19:08] 71 people were killed according to the government, including four
[00:19:11] soldiers, the soldiers who uh gradually throughout the day managed to
[00:19:15] advance in the city and regain control, UN
[00:19:18] peacekeepers were also deployed to protect
[00:19:21] the hospital and NGOs which are particularly numerous in
[00:19:24] Rumbek, so this is not the first time there has been an inter-tribal
[00:19:28] or inter-ethnic conflict in South Sudan, they are frequent in the
[00:19:32] country, this year it is the second time there have been mass killings in
[00:19:36] the country. At the beginning of the year, more than 169 people
[00:19:39] were killed in an inter-ethnic conflict in the north of the
[00:19:43] country, but this one is particularly worrying because the first
[00:19:46] election in the history of the world's youngest country is due to take place in
[00:19:50] December, how to organize an election if there are
[00:19:53] such tensions in the country, it will be difficult, many
[00:19:57] observers already doubted the possibility of organizing these elections and these
[00:20:01] new clashes make them doubt even more, many imagine
[00:20:04] that they will have to be postponed again. The
[00:20:07] PPACI publicly presented its social pact near Abidjan,
[00:20:11] a political project for the country intended to protect the most
[00:20:15] vulnerable, but other topics were imposed in the speeches,
[00:20:19] particularly the judicial woes of members of Laurent
[00:20:22] Gbagbo's party, the latter who was expected did not come to present
[00:20:25] his project, he was currently in
[00:20:29] Belgium. Jean Barrère on the red earth of
[00:20:32] Gonzaqueville, a popular district near Abidjan, the PPACI
[00:20:36] activists in blue. white came out in large numbers despite
[00:20:40] the heat and the delay in speeches, they were invited for a back-to-school
[00:20:43] meeting and the launch of the social pact, a political project desired by
[00:20:47] Laurent Gbagbo described as a political surge for... the country which aims to
[00:20:51] notably reduce inequalities, political
[00:20:53] action must have as its main
[00:20:56] objective to make the citizen happy, to
[00:21:00] put the human being at the center of all political action, whether it is the
[00:21:03] cost of living, whether it is health
[00:21:07] issues, well, the president has
[00:21:10] solutions, the PPACI will nevertheless not have been able to avoid the judicial
[00:21:13] issues it faces, the incarceration of one of its vice-presidents
[00:21:17] in September and the summons next Monday of... Bastien
[00:21:20] Djedane, one of Laurent Gbagbo's closest collaborators before the
[00:21:24] anti-terrorist unit. The latter spoke from the podium but preferred
[00:21:27] not to address the issue, simple precaution or real fear, the activists
[00:21:31] present this afternoon have the answer. We will not
[00:21:34] allow ourselves to be intimidated by this adjustment of the ruling power which has nothing to offer to the
[00:21:38] Ivorians. The country needs many things, the youth who do not
[00:21:42] work, the lack of jobs, poverty,
[00:21:45] family, prices that are rising, rising costs, all
[00:21:48] that. The
[00:21:52] freedom front, we are not free in our own country, we are not
[00:21:55] free, we are not free in our country, a remarkable
[00:21:58] absence during this meeting, that of Laurent Gbagbo who is currently resting in
[00:22:02] Belgium according to the party, the PPACI nevertheless assures that upon his
[00:22:06] return, the former president will himself defend his project before the
[00:22:09] population. Well, we'll stay in Abidjan to move on to our
[00:22:13] focus on land ownership, and in Côte d'Ivoire
[00:22:16] precisely, becoming a homeowner, as elsewhere, can sometimes turn
[00:22:20] into a nightmare in a country facing a deficit of more than 800,000
[00:22:23] housing units, the demand for land is very strong and some take advantage of this
[00:22:27] pressure to multiply scams, fake owners,
[00:22:31] non-existent land or sold to several people,
[00:22:34] practices that also affect the diaspora and can lead to long
[00:22:38] legal conflicts, the report from Abidjan by Makamara
[00:22:42] and Damien Koffi.
[00:22:45] Land scams claim many victims in
[00:22:48] Abidjan. This woman thought he was investing in real estate
[00:22:52] with complete security, but his project quickly
[00:22:56] turned into a nightmare, invested a little over
[00:22:59] 30 million,
[00:23:03] and well, until then nothing, no news, I found myself at the
[00:23:06] police station, I even had a stroke,
[00:23:10] and I still bear the consequences, so that's
[00:23:13] where my conduct came from, the
[00:23:17] modus operandi of these scams is well-oiled. This gentleman
[00:23:21] who has already sold land to several people
[00:23:25] cover of anonymity, how one of these systems works,
[00:23:29] when the procedure is done generally it takes a lot of
[00:23:33] time and during this procedure we encourage the client to
[00:23:37] pay quickly to reserve and once the client pays
[00:23:40] uh afterwards we leave them and attack another
[00:23:43] person and that way we recover the
[00:23:46] maximum amount of advances on...
[00:23:51] in Abidjan, social networks have become a real real estate
[00:23:54] showcase, land advertisements are multiplying, targeting
[00:23:58] the diaspora. Faced with this reality,
[00:24:02] firms offer solutions. What should
[00:24:05] reassure the subscriber is that
[00:24:08] they are accompanied by a law firm, they have
[00:24:12] legal advice that will be provided, the
[00:24:16] the authenticity of the documents that potential sellers will
[00:24:20] transmit to them, the accompaniment with
[00:24:24] notaries, in any case all files will be
[00:24:27] followed. In Côte d'Ivoire, land pressure remains
[00:24:31] strong. From January to September,
[00:24:34] 4396 conflicts were
[00:24:37] recorded, and the challenge remains immense.
[00:24:41] Securing 23 million hectares of land and more than
[00:24:44] 8600 villages.
[00:24:48] And to go further into this. more dedicated
[00:24:51] real estate in Africa, we received earlier Master Pierre Dimis, he
[00:24:55] is an international business lawyer and founder of
[00:24:58] PKD Conseil which notably supports real estate
[00:25:02] projects in Côte d'Ivoire, let's listen to an excerpt from our
[00:25:05] focus. Where he has a point is that there are no
[00:25:09] real specialized actors in, I would say, real
[00:25:12] estate law, it's a very interesting market, it's a market that
[00:25:15] requires, apart from notaries, where
[00:25:18] we need to raise awareness. inform, communicate so that the population
[00:25:22] which is supposed to, I would say, no one is supposed to be ignorant of the law, but which is
[00:25:26] supposed to, I would say, benefit from, I would say, communication, awareness
[00:25:29] so that we know who the real actors are, but then
[00:25:33] what document really protects the buyer? The land
[00:25:36] title, the land title, the land title, the definitive document that goes through all the
[00:25:40] procedures that allows one to say I have the land title,
[00:25:44] the land title. There are other documents which are the definitive constitution order,
[00:25:48] the CD in Côte d'Ivoire. country and then there are other documents which
[00:25:52] are more or less complex and it is this complexity or this, I would say,
[00:25:55] legal insecurity of certain documents that allows real
[00:25:59] estate stands which are sometimes private accessions, we cannot...
[00:26:02] cannot sell a property and forget with a private deed,
[00:26:06] the law prohibits it, it is necessarily by a notarized deed that allows one
[00:26:10] to sell a property of interest like a
[00:26:13] real estate property, that is important precisely for those who
[00:26:16] are listening. The problem is also not just fraud, there is
[00:26:19] also the issue of registers that are sometimes incomplete, administrations
[00:26:23] that do not always communicate with each other. Why do
[00:26:26] states actually have so much trouble with this issue? How do you explain it? I
[00:26:30] explain it because you know, uh, I was saying recently, take
[00:26:34] Mauritius, Mauritius was, I would say, an English
[00:26:38] colony. When you go to Mauritius, the cadastres retrieve a very
[00:26:41] precise, very clear cadastre, I would say,
[00:26:45] of who are the owners of land properties. We have, in
[00:26:49] West Africa, several owners. The state is not
[00:26:52] the owner, like in China, of the land, these are village communities. So we have
[00:26:56] village land owners, private land owners.
[00:26:59] So between, I would say, the customary code. between customary law and
[00:27:03] civil law, there are interactions that allow the
[00:27:07] land registry to be done slowly and we
[00:27:10] are not, we are countries that gained independence in the 60s, so
[00:27:14] it's quite difficult between two titles, land title and
[00:27:18] rural title. Follow the entirety of this
[00:27:21] fascinating focus on these
[00:27:24] real estate and the focus and real estate
[00:27:27] and land in Africa precisely on our website of course and on our
[00:27:31] WhatsApp page. And we end with these images of the parade
[00:27:35] organized by Patrimoine Galin for its 3rd edition, this Senegalese festival
[00:27:39] set up shop in Paris at the foot of the Eiffel Tower,
[00:27:42] objective: to highlight the history and great
[00:27:46] figures of Senegalese heritage, especially among the
[00:27:49] diaspora living in France. Let's listen to them interviewed by Julia
[00:27:52] Goganheim,
[00:27:54] it's a moment of reconnection created to give the opportunity
[00:27:58] to the children of the diaspora to embody,
[00:28:01] to love, and to preserve their culture. The
[00:28:04] children who were born here in France, in Europe, in the United States, they don't know their
[00:28:08] history, that's why we are here to tell it, what was there
[00:28:12] yesterday, how we dressed, what we ate,
[00:28:16] how the cohabitation that existed between
[00:28:19] us, and that's
[00:28:22] broadcast, thank you to all those who followed us all over the world and tonight
[00:28:26] in particular from Abidjan to Rumbek, passing through Durban, stay with us because
[00:28:29] the news continues on France 24.
[00:29:43] one night,
[00:29:47] millions of votes,
[00:29:51] an election that can change everything, when
[00:29:54] America votes, the world
[00:29:56] watches,
[00:29:59] America's choice, the event to experience on... France

[00:30:32] escalation, the strong reactions of support for Volodymyr Zelenskyy
[00:30:36] after Donald Trump's new statement calling for the departure and
