We will [00:00:48] also go to Spain, the early legislative election campaign [00:00:51] on a backdrop of anger crisis linked to the housing [00:00:54] issue has just started face to face the socialists led by [00:00:58] Pedro Sanchez and the... observer led by Alberto [00:01:02] Nuñas Fejo, Sanchez has promised to review everything, his rival [00:01:05] intends to rebuild Spain, you will hear our [00:01:08] correspondent in Madrid, Selma Haj [00:01:11] Buudian, welcome [00:01:26] are waiting for answers from the Minister of and to open this new news, Ukraine therefore... [00:01:30] let's start by reviewing the cascade of indignant reactions provoked by [00:01:34] Donald Trump's statements about Voladimir [00:01:37] Zelenski. Yesterday, Saturday, the US president disowned the departure [00:01:41] of his Ukrainian counterpart who, according to him, does not want to conclude an agreement [00:01:45] with Vladimir Putin's Russia to end the war. These remarks were made [00:01:48] the day after the announcement of this US-Russia agreement on [00:01:52] diesel, Gulliver Krag in Kiev details [00:01:56] the new reactions to these inflammatory statements from... the [00:02:00] White House [00:02:02] officially, uh, the reaction of the highest-ranking person in the [00:02:05] government was the Minister of Foreign Affairs Andres Sibiga who told him: [00:02:08] "Voladimir Zelenski has the support of the Ukrainian people [00:02:12] and I think that indeed the Ukrainian [00:02:15] public opinion is really rallied behind President [00:02:19] Voladimir Zelenski, not because they would like to vote for him [00:02:22] if there were a presidential election, moreover recently a [00:02:26] poll showed that more than half..." of Ukrainians would like [00:02:30] Voladimir Zelenski not to run for a second term if [00:02:33] one day it becomes possible to hold a presidential election, [00:02:37] but Ukrainians are in their great majority [00:02:41] before the official start of in agreement on the principles of Voladimir Zelenski's [00:02:44] foreign policy, he is very criticized in domestic [00:02:48] politics, but uh contrary to what Mr. Trump says, [00:02:51] Ukrainians do not have the impression that Vladimir Putin proposed [00:02:55] a deal, an agreement to [00:02:58] the assessment after the passage of end the war, Vladimir [00:03:01] Putin keeps repeating his maximalist [00:03:04] demands towards Ukraine, he absolutely does not give up [00:03:08] the annexation of [00:03:11] was the first hurricane of four Ukrainian regions in addition to Crimea, [00:03:13] he has Ukrainian regions that are not in these four regions that [00:03:17] are still attacked, the regions of Kharkiv and [00:03:20] Sumy, so Ukrainians do not really take seriously [00:03:24] this American idea that in fact it is [00:03:27] a small territorial question. resolving this territorial [00:03:31] question in Donbas in eastern Ukraine would solve the problem of [00:03:34] the war, any replacement of Voladimir Zelensky would in reality [00:03:38] pursue more or less the same policy because he does not [00:03:41] see any alternative and it is also for this reason that Ukraine continued with [00:03:45] its deep strikes on Russia, yesterday there was a [00:03:48] refinery in Samara that burned and [00:03:53] arouses the anger of environmental today there is a data center of Russia's main search engine, [00:03:57] uh Yandex, so strikes against the... Russian economy, I think [00:04:01] Ukrainians are saying that if the Americans are not going to strengthen their [00:04:05] sanctions, then it is up to us to do what they call [00:04:08] long-range sanctions and [00:04:11] when Mr. Trump talks about an agreement, it is particularly uh [00:04:15] annoying for Ukrainians because their negotiators were in the United States [00:04:20] behind the head of to try to define a large-scale offensive from the terms of a possible agreement to [00:04:23] propose to the Russians for a ceasefire, even if only on energy [00:04:26] infrastructure, but the idea of course would have been for the Russians also [00:04:32] 20,000 Gazans on the brink of to agree to a ceasefire on the Ukrainian electricity grid, and [00:04:34] there Mr. Trump is just asking Ukrainians to stop their strikes without the Russians [00:04:38] stopping theirs. Saudi [00:04:40] Arabia had not experienced such a deadly attack since [00:04:44] 2015. At least 12 people lost their [00:04:47] lives yesterday, Saturday, in a targeted bombing at Riyadh [00:04:51] International Airport. More than 300 others were injured. The attack was [00:04:54] attributed to Houthi Yemeni fighters. They are waging a [00:04:57] war against Saudi Arabia and... vice [00:05:00] versa, the escalation in the Arabian Peninsula continues, so for fear of [00:05:04] new attacks, Riyadh's schools have switched to [00:05:07] distance learning, Alice Broga reports on this [00:05:10] attack against the airport. [00:05:15] In front of Riyadh airport, a line of ambulances and [00:05:18] disoriented passengers. These are the rare images coming [00:05:22] from Saudi Arabia after the deadly strike that targeted [00:05:25] the capital's airport on Saturday around 3 p.m. Witnesses [00:05:29] describe scenes of chaos with hundreds of injured and dozens of ambulances [00:05:33] called urgently. The General Authority of Civil Aviation [00:05:37] indicated that the attack caused several injuries whose condition is being [00:05:40] evaluated. It specified that the... airport operations were [00:05:44] temporarily suspended pending a full evaluation of the damage and the [00:05:47] verification of the safety of the facilities in coordination with the [00:05:51] competent authorities. All flights to Riyadh were [00:05:55] diverted or cancelled. Later in the evening, the authorities reported [00:05:59] the fall of a projectile near another airport, that of [00:06:02] Damasam in the east of the kingdom. These attacks, which [00:06:05] have not been claimed, are attributed to the Houthi rebels from [00:06:09] Yemen who oppose the Yemeni governmental forces. supported by [00:06:12] Saudi Arabia and who launched a lightning offensive in September, [00:06:16] strengthening their control over the strategic D3 of Bab-el-Mandeb. These [00:06:20] last few days, the scale and frequency of attacks targeting Riyadh has [00:06:24] increased. The city's airport has already been targeted twice this [00:06:27] week, several people have been killed and injured. To counter the [00:06:31] Houthis, the Saudi kingdom has been seeking for weeks to obtain military aid [00:06:35] from its American ally without success. Donald Trump remained [00:06:38] vague on the subject on Saturday before journalists. [00:06:41] Have you decided to join the Saudi [00:06:44] strikes? It's possible, we will see. In what timeframe? [00:06:48] We just learned of the attack, we will make a decision and act very [00:06:51] quickly. These strikes on Riyadh occur shortly [00:06:54] before the holding in October in the kingdom of a large annual [00:06:58] investment conference that attracts visitors from all over [00:07:01] the world. Should we see this as a gesture [00:07:05] of appeasement from the Indian authorities? India, [00:07:08] as we have told you many times, is shaken by new popular [00:07:12] protests, protests against the electoral commission accused of [00:07:16] manipulating electoral lists for political ends, at the heart [00:07:20] of these protests, the new party called the [00:07:23] "scoundrels". Yesterday, leaders of this party who were going to [00:07:26] demonstrate were arrested, the [00:07:29] justice has just ordered their [00:07:32] release. [00:07:36] Also in international news, pro-Palestinian demonstrations [00:07:39] around the world, they coincided with the 1st [00:07:43] anniversary this October 10th of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, [00:07:46] never truly respected, 1450 [00:07:50] Palestinians killed in Gaza in the past year, since its so-called entry into force, [00:07:54] images first from London, thousands of people denounced the continued [00:07:57] killings and called for sanctions against Israel, same state [00:08:01] of mind in Istanbul, Turkey, in Milan, Italy, or [00:08:04] even in Washington near Congress, these [00:08:08] gatherings, as we said, marked the first year of this truce that isn't one, [00:08:12] in parallel with the consequences of Israeli bombardments, Gaza [00:08:16] remains on the brink of famine, NGOs [00:08:19] warn. [00:08:24] In front of this community kitchen, [00:08:26] the wait can last several hours to hope to leave with [00:08:30] a ration of bread or rice. [00:08:34] Niya spent a large part of the morning. This Gazan mother [00:08:37] has to feed her eight children who live in makeshift shelters. Her husband [00:08:41] was seriously wounded in the legs by an Israeli [00:08:45] bombing. One of Niya's children [00:08:48] suffered from malnutrition during the last famine. [00:08:52] Since then, the situation has barely improved and these [00:08:55] rations will be the only meal of the day for this [00:08:58] family. [00:09:00] I [00:09:03] suffer from asthma, but I go to the community kitchen to get food [00:09:07] and feed the children. I spend half of the [00:09:10] day there, if we don't receive food from... the community kitchen, the [00:09:13] children remain hungry, nothing, no income, no one to [00:09:17] take care of us or help us. In [00:09:20] August 2025, the United Nations declared a state [00:09:24] of famine in the Palestinian enclave, with [00:09:27] the ceasefire entering into force two months later, the [00:09:30] humanitarian situation was supposed to improve, but the food [00:09:34] emergency persists. According to the [00:09:37] WFP, about 140,000 people are food [00:09:40] insecure. famine. [00:09:44] There is an increase in conditions affecting [00:09:48] the immune system, these problems, non-existent before the war, are [00:09:52] more frequent. Cognitive development is also [00:09:55] affected because children do not receive sufficient quantities of [00:09:58] vitamins and minerals. Doctors [00:10:01] state that repeated episodes of acute malnutrition in these [00:10:04] children can cause cognitive and [00:10:07] physical sequelae for the rest of their [00:10:09] lives. [00:10:12] will they renew their confidence in the socialist Pedro Sanchez or [00:10:16] on the contrary switch to the conservative [00:10:19] right? The early legislative election campaign was [00:10:23] launched yesterday, Saturday, as planned. campaign in this context of [00:10:26] anger against the housing crisis, these elections are also [00:10:30] for Pedro Sanchez, a way to respond with a [00:10:34] firm majority, which he does not currently have in [00:10:37] Madrid. Selma Haj [00:10:39] Buudiana. [00:10:42] The first day of the pre-campaign began here in [00:10:46] Spain, but the official campaign itself will only start next [00:10:49] November 13th. Yesterday, as you said, Pedro Sanchez went [00:10:53] near Seville. He officially launched his pre-campaign [00:10:57] before more than 5000 people. He [00:11:00] once again placed the housing crisis at the heart of his speech [00:11:04] and he promised above all to strengthen tenant protection [00:11:07] measures after the two rejections of these [00:11:11] decrees by parliament. On the other [00:11:13] side, Alberto Nougnez Fejo, the leader of the [00:11:17] Popular Party, organized his first big [00:11:20] meeting in Madrid where he promised a political [00:11:24] change. Serene but firm and for the moment [00:11:28] the first polls are quite unfavorable to the socialist [00:11:31] camp, according to a survey published by [00:11:35] El País on Friday, the [00:11:37] Popular Party would get more than 31.9 [00:11:41] % of voting intentions against 28.1 [00:11:45] % of voting intentions for the PSOE, Pedro [00:11:48] Sanchez's party, these are for the moment [00:11:52] only estimates but they still show that Pedro... Sanchez took [00:11:55] a big risk by calling these elections and that he [00:11:59] could today jeopardize his retention of power. [00:12:03] Selma: how is the protest movement [00:12:06] linked to the housing crisis, which actually [00:12:10] triggered these early elections, doing [00:12:12] in parallel with the start of this election campaign? [00:12:18] Yes, what is certain is that the announcement of these [00:12:21] early elections has not put an end to the... [00:12:25] mobilization here in Madrid, the mobilizations and demonstrations [00:12:29] continue, the occupation of the Puerta del Sol has been continuing [00:12:32] for more than two weeks now, the [00:12:35] activists and tenant associations [00:12:38] are still demanding concrete measures against the [00:12:42] rising rents and evictions and refuse precisely that their [00:12:45] demands be put aside during this [00:12:49] electoral campaign, the pressure and mobilization will therefore [00:12:52] continue in the coming [00:12:55] weeks, the various unions have also [00:12:59] announced a general strike on November [00:13:02] 11th, a few days [00:13:06] the campaign for the demonstrators, the stake is [00:13:09] to obtain concrete commitments [00:13:13] and this, whatever the result of the vote announced on [00:13:16] November 29th, [00:13:20] the south of the United States at the time of [00:13:23] Hurricane. Zayat, at least four [00:13:26] dead, significant material damage and hundreds of thousands of homes [00:13:30] without power, in Alabama or Florida, Isaias [00:13:36] the season, it decreased in intensity, much further south, [00:13:40] in Mexico, it is Hurricane Simon that is expected to make landfall this [00:13:43] Sunday and as a precaution, a hundred residents of [00:13:47] villages located on the Pacific coast have been [00:13:51] evacuated. [00:13:55] gatherings everywhere this weekend in France against the European [00:13:58] Commission's project to "simplify" the marketing of [00:14:02] pesticides in Europe, NGOs, but also scientists, doctors [00:14:06] are concerned to see harmful substances authorized indefinitely [00:14:09] now Alice [00:14:12] Boa. [00:14:15] It is the European regulation that [00:14:18] defenders and the growing concern of doctors. Its [00:14:22] name is Omnibus 10. With this text. the European [00:14:25] Commission proposes to authorize indefinitely a series of [00:14:28] pesticides with the exception of the most dangerous, the objective, [00:14:32] to simplify the lives of companies, but anti-pesticide NGOs [00:14:35] denounce a significant setback. At a time [00:14:39] when scientific evidence raises growing concerns about [00:14:42] pesticides, member states should not support the opening of [00:14:46] new possibilities for maintaining in use [00:14:49] dangerous substances. Currently, chemical substances [00:14:52] authorized by the EU must be re-evaluated every 10 years, then every [00:14:56] 15 years, periodic authorizations which have allowed since [00:14:59] 2011 the prohibition of some thirty harmful substances [00:15:03] such as Mancozeb or Chlorpyrifos responsible [00:15:07] for neurodevelopmental disorders. Faced with [00:15:09] health risks, doctors and scientists have multiplied alerts [00:15:13] in recent months. Mid-September, more than 500 [00:15:16] scientists signed a letter calling for a pause in the legislative [00:15:19] process of Omnibus 10, time to carry out a real [00:15:23] impact study, but the text. is now in the hands of the European [00:15:26] Parliament. Its two Italian rapporteurs propose provisions [00:15:30] going even further in deregulation than the European [00:15:33] Commission. [00:15:36] Another mobilization. Another topic, the crisis in high [00:15:39] schools and universities in France, we [00:15:42] are 2 days away from this Act 5 promised by the inter-union, [00:15:46] at the heart of concerns, the [00:15:49] renovation of premises, sometimes in poor condition, as we said, the replacement of [00:15:52] teachers, the lightening of days considered ultra [00:15:56] busy, but also parcours sup, synonymous with obstacle [00:16:00] course, and this last topic is prominently featured in the [00:16:03] concerns expressed at the student fair [00:16:06] currently, explanation France [00:16:08] Television [00:16:12] in a buzzing beehive atmosphere, there are thousands [00:16:15] of high school students who came to look for an idea, future, [00:16:18] a direction, work with people with [00:16:22] disabilities, I also like the medical field for [00:16:25] veterinarians, choices that will all have to be [00:16:29] registered on parcours sup, a platform [00:16:32] largely criticized by the high school movement and which has caused [00:16:35] a lot of ink to flow in recent weeks, the system of [00:16:39] ranking students is also at the heart of concerns, I'm [00:16:43] not necessarily afraid for myself because I know that I still have [00:16:47] pretty good grades, so I hope that will be enough to get the choices I [00:16:50] want, it can be scary to just put your report card [00:16:54] in a machine and that's what will give us our future in [00:16:58] short, so it's a bit worrying, [00:17:01] today high school students [00:17:04] National Education on the evolution of parcours. [00:17:08] in fact, it's true that there is a criticism of a lack of transparency, which is why the [00:17:12] minister must notably soon [00:17:14] announce changes to the platform, will parcours sup [00:17:18] be improved to dispel the concerns of high school students? [00:17:22] Answer hoped for at the end of the month. [00:17:25] the young people's concern for the jobs of tomorrow, that brings us to [00:17:29] the question of robotization which [00:17:32] is accelerating in the daily sector, in retail [00:17:35] in particular. See these images filmed in Denmark where [00:17:39] robots are used to fill store [00:17:42] shelves, Mario [00:17:44] Meyer. [00:17:48] In the aisles of this supermarket, new employees are on [00:17:52] trial. These robots, remotely [00:17:55] controlled, learn to grab products and fill [00:17:58] shelves, a pilot project implemented since [00:18:01] June in the establishments of the largest distribution group in [00:18:04] Denmark. [00:18:08] We start by restocking the different types of [00:18:11] products on the shelves, then we move on to other tasks such as realigning [00:18:14] items, checking expiry dates or evacuating [00:18:18] cartons. There are practically no limits to the final [00:18:21] goal. Usually, [00:18:24] restocking shelves takes between 40 and [00:18:27] 50% of employee time. Well-trained, [00:18:30] these robots could replace them by [00:18:34] 2027. [00:18:37] Our vision or rather our dream is to one day have [00:18:41] a robot in every store, it would support our employees to [00:18:45] gain efficiency and would allow them to free up time for our [00:18:48] customers. In Portugal, these humanoid [00:18:52] robots could also soon invade public [00:18:54] spaces. They are already capable of performing about [00:18:58] 80% of the tasks that humans can [00:19:01] do. This robot could be a hotel [00:19:05] receptionist. [00:19:37] in a moment in the weekend, sports, but before that, a reminder [00:19:41] of the main headlines that we are developing, starting with [00:19:45] these strong reactions of support for Zelensky after Donald [00:19:48] Trump's new statement about the departure and replacement of the [00:19:52] Ukrainian president, the British, the European Union, even the Ukrainian [00:19:55] opposition rallies [00:19:58] state, the deadly attack against Riyadh International [00:20:01] Airport, an attack attributed to Houthi Yemeni fighters, they [00:20:05] are waging a war against Saudi Arabia and vice versa, at least 12 [00:20:09] dead, 309 injured, the Saudis promise a firm response, [00:20:12] the UN denounces a serious escalation, Riyadh's schools [00:20:15] have just switched to distance learning as a precaution, in Spain, [00:20:19] the kick-off of the early legislative election campaign, [00:20:22] campaign against a backdrop of anger crisis linked [00:20:26] to the housing issue, face to face the socialists led by Pedro [00:20:30] Sanchez and the conservatives led by Alberto Nouñaz [00:20:33] Fejo, Sanchez has promised to review everything, his rival's goal is [00:20:37] to rebuild [00:26:55] weekend editions close, thank you for following them, thank you to the [00:26:58] editorial and production teams who prepared and [00:27:02] produced them, international news from France continues on our [00:27:06] channels [00:27:11] they are the family it's gradual in urban people [00:27:15] with Juliette on [00:30:07] This is Paris live for you, we are together until 2 p.m., welcome, [00:30:10] operations at Riyadh International Airport remain [00:30:13] suspended after the deadly attacks of recent days, the kingdom is facing [00:30:19] the Houthis in Yemen. They have also warned travelers not [00:30:23] to use Saudi airports. Donald Trump calls for a presidential [00:30:27] election.TELEVISION NEWS TRANSCRIPT: in Ukraine, because according to the American [00:30:30] president, his counterpart is the only obstacle to a settlement of the conflict. He [00:30:34] also criticized the Ukrainian strikes on Russian [00:30:38] refineries. And then we will see how robots are [00:30:42] entering our daily lives in supermarkets, but also in the tourism sector. [00:30:45] After China, this is becoming a reality in Europe.
