[00:00:00] Leonna, to be seen on France 24 and our social
[00:00:03] networks,
[00:00:07] it's 9 PM in Paris, good evening everyone, in the weekend's essential news, Raphael
[00:00:11] Glucksmann's victory in France in the first round of the left-wing primary, he won with
[00:00:15] 66% of the votes, he wants to be the candidate who can beat
[00:00:19] the far-right, we'll talk about it in a few minutes with our guests in
[00:00:22] the 2027 presidential election program.
[00:00:25] Also making headlines, an energetic ceasefire concluded between Russia and
[00:00:29] Ukraine, at least according to Donald Trump. The American president assures that Kyiv and
[00:00:32] Moscow will no longer target their respective energy
[00:00:35] infrastructures. Vladimir Zelensky, however, announced that he was not
[00:00:39] aware of it. Finally, Riyadh's international airport was targeted again
[00:00:43] by an attack this Sunday. Several people were injured. A little earlier in the day,
[00:00:46] the Yemeni tools had claimed the strike that killed at least 12 people
[00:00:53] law enforcement, but since then we have the yesterday. At 9:30 PM, don't miss the sports news either, an interview this evening
[00:00:57] with French driver Paul. He will
[00:01:01] talk about his discipline and the NASCAR Euro Series European Championship which ends next weekend.
[00:01:20] The Socialist Party therefore has its official candidate for 2027, it is
[00:01:23] MEP Raphael Glucksmann. He won this Sunday the left-wing primary
[00:01:27] in the first round. I am the... candidate of the
[00:01:30] democratic left who can beat the far right, he said,
[00:01:34] Lucas, Jocelyn Debrou and Tristan
[00:01:37] Lebras. It's a little after
[00:01:40] 6 PM,
[00:01:42] Raphael Glucksmann has just learned that he has won the primary in the first
[00:01:46] round.
[00:01:49] A few moments later, he makes a triumphant arrival at the primary headquarters
[00:01:52] to the cheers of the
[00:01:56] de-escalation to spare the energy activists.
[00:02:02] 6% of the 12,000 voters chose him, he is now officially the candidate of the social-democratic camp in
[00:02:06] the presidential election,
[00:02:10] tonight the battle for France
[00:02:13] begins, I will therefore be in this campaign,
[00:02:17] the candidate of the break with Macronism, the
[00:02:20] candidate of the break with Jean-Luc
[00:02:24] Mélenchon's hegemony over the French left, for the
[00:02:26] activists, we must savor the victory and especially now
[00:02:30] turn the page on this primary, there were
[00:02:33] blows, it's clear, given by everyone, by Raphael Glucksmann too, it must be
[00:02:37] said, it's true, but after we must, we must unite, I am
[00:02:40] extremely happy, extremely proud that the socialist family can
[00:02:44] unite this evening around a candidacy and especially a very, very clear victory.
[00:02:48] Coming in second, Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the Socialist
[00:02:51] Party, only garnered a little over 14% of the votes.
[00:02:55] Tonight, he commits to supporting the
[00:02:57] winner.
[00:03:01] you managed to convince a majority of
[00:03:05] voters and I respect the democratic process of the primary that I
[00:03:09] wanted too much not to accept it with
[00:03:11] wisdom, she dreamed of creating a surprise but she finally
[00:03:15] finished 3rd with 7.6 %. Ségolène Royal
[00:03:19] will also rally behind Raphael Glucksmann despite an assumed
[00:03:23] disappointment. The intern won the primary, yeah,
[00:03:26] unfortunately, you still acknowledge this result, of course I congratulate. the
[00:03:30] winner, it's, it's, it's the tradition and Raphael Glucksmann's
[00:03:34] campaign begins tonight.
[00:03:36] And to comment on this victory of Raphael
[00:03:40] Glucksmann, two guests at my side in Presidential
[00:03:43] local television is obliged 2027.
[00:03:50] Émilie Zapalski is with us, good evening, you are an editorialist and
[00:03:53] political communicator, you have just released a new podcast entitled
[00:03:56] "By Women". Noé Gérardo Champesor is
[00:03:59] also with us, good evening, you are an associate expert at the Jean
[00:04:03] Jaurès Foundation and I quote the title of your latest book which is entitled
[00:04:06] "Organize the Victory from the Grassroots to the Majority,
[00:04:09] How the Left Could Win", you will
[00:04:12] enlighten us on this tonight. A first reaction to start with this
[00:04:16] victory of Raphael Glucksmann, we knew Émilie that he was the favorite, perhaps
[00:04:19] we did not expect him to win in the first
[00:04:23] cynical. The question of round? Yes, I think the score he obtained is quite significant, it puts an end to discussions and we
[00:04:27] saw it well in the speeches and we just heard it especially. Olivier
[00:04:30] Faure is, I think, very disappointed by his 14% him.
[00:04:34] Uh, yes, Raphael Glucksmann, that's it, he's the candidate.
[00:04:37] Now we'll see how the union is formed because even if his score
[00:04:41] means he's the official candidate for this primary, it will be necessary to see how
[00:04:44] everyone truly plays with him
[00:04:48] and how he tries to unite a little more
[00:04:52] beyond that in order to truly matter, because if he
[00:04:55] States, a major ally of says "yes, I am the candidate" and that he will fight against the far right, for
[00:04:58] now it's not so clear. You evoke his score, it's 66%, but we
[00:05:02] are talking about 12,000 voters in this primary, does that make him a
[00:05:06] legitimate candidate to represent the non-Mélenchonist
[00:05:09] left? He is the candidate who won the primary, so he is legitimate
[00:05:12] for that space, he makes for an extremely clear candidate, so he is the candidate of
[00:05:15] social democracy and that clarifies the political chessboard considerably. Now
[00:05:19] let's see what the reactions will be with Gabriel Attal on the one hand
[00:05:22] and the rest of the left, the communists or the ecologists.
[00:05:26] Marine Tondelier had a rather fresh reaction to her
[00:05:29] victory, disappointed, quite disappointed, so we will see now what will happen
[00:05:33] on the left. The challenge for the left today is to broaden its electoral base, as it has 30
[00:05:36] 35% of the votes, we are still far from reaching 50% plus one vote to
[00:05:40] win the presidential election, for now? The first reactions, as we saw,
[00:05:44] from the other candidates in this primary, suggest that they will support him,
[00:05:48] Olivier Faure, at least, Ségolène Royal, we know that the
[00:05:51] tensions were particularly strong during the debates, we could
[00:05:55] see it and we still hear Ségolène Royal calling him an
[00:05:58] intern, can he really, and that's the question, create
[00:06:02] a real dynamic around him? So there are two questions in your question because he
[00:06:06] has both the support, so it's true that there were strong disputes
[00:06:09] for those who were able to watch the three debates.
[00:06:13] It was even quite discouraging because it wasn't very interesting
[00:06:17] and notably Ségolène Royal was very hard on him, she
[00:06:20] played all her cards, I think she was very disappointed by her score and at first she didn't mention his
[00:06:24] name, we felt that there was still a kind of bitterness, I think she wanted to be
[00:06:28] second, she wanted to make her mark, but they all
[00:06:31] said they would stand behind him, so that's okay, but
[00:06:34] then it's up to him to know how he can gather
[00:06:38] more beyond that. He still has an absence there that we don't talk about which is quite
[00:06:42] important, it's François Hollande who for now has not participated in the
[00:06:45] primary, he remains a little ambushed, thinking that if things don't go very well for
[00:06:49] Glucksmann, maybe I can be the
[00:06:52] recourse, so, is he not also the big loser tonight
[00:06:56] besides Olivier Faure? He
[00:06:58] hoped to be the recourse. 66% of the lessons, it's
[00:07:02] becoming clear, that's it, it's a clear line for the left, for the
[00:07:06] left-wing candidate, it's certain that we can't, we can't
[00:07:09] imagine that we would choose another candidate. At some point
[00:07:13] if Glucksmann disappoints, if Glucksmann is not up to the task
[00:07:17] or if he doesn't score enough points, okay, but it's
[00:07:21] true that he's the legitimate candidate of this left
[00:07:24] for now, yes, it's very clear and now the challenge is to move beyond these
[00:07:27] divergences and disagreements to show that it's not a political shipwreck but
[00:07:31] that it's a launchpad for the presidential election and ultimately that's the point of a
[00:07:35] primary, it's the ability to broaden the base, to create a dynamic, and
[00:07:39] to start putting forward a political vision and in fact there weren't many divergences in the debates,
[00:07:42] maybe that's what can strike us, it's that fundamentally they had
[00:07:46] a global agreement on the assessment of the state
[00:07:49] of the country, on what is wrong today and they are trying to start pushing first
[00:07:53] proposals and it was good to finally talk about the substance,
[00:07:57] to push that forward and I think that's still something to applaud given the current debate. I still think the
[00:08:01] divergence was on Jean-Luc Mélenchon, whether we should approach
[00:08:04] him, whether, and that ultimately clarified
[00:08:08] the really real victory of Raphael Glucksmann
[00:08:11] shows that this is social democracy, as you said,
[00:08:14] truly moving away from
[00:08:17] the far left. Let's listen to Raphael Glucksmann on this subject, he spoke
[00:08:21] tonight on France 2's 8 PM news and he always advocates
[00:08:25] a clear break with "La France Insoumise" and he talks tonight
[00:08:29] about his victory, let's listen. It's the
[00:08:32] victory of all those who believe that we need a democratic left in
[00:08:36] our country, that the left must break with
[00:08:39] Jean-Luc Mélenchon's hegemony over it,
[00:08:42] it must propose a project that strengthens the Republic, that strengthens
[00:08:46] democracy, that strengthens social justice, that strengthens
[00:08:50] the ecological imperative. You know, I am convinced that there are
[00:08:53] millions of French women and men who are waiting for this moment, who
[00:08:56] are waiting to be able to vote, without sacrificing a part of themselves,
[00:09:00] without telling themselves that they are simply voting against, but that they are voting for what they
[00:09:04] believe in, for what constitutes their political identity. I am addressing
[00:09:07] them, your time has come, this election will be our
[00:09:10] election, that's what it's about. He won tonight, Raphael
[00:09:14] Glucksmann, on his opposition to Jean-Luc Mélenchon, partly,
[00:09:17] it clarified a line. He also won because
[00:09:20] he was the only one of the candidates presented who was over 10% in the
[00:09:24] polls and then remember, he also spearheaded mobilizations at other
[00:09:28] times, we can recall his fight on the duty of vigilance and the Uyghurs, he had
[00:09:32] indeed received something very strong by mobilizing young people on social
[00:09:35] networks against their favorite brands for something
[00:09:38] extremely serious happening on the other side of the world, so he had managed to create that. The question now is
[00:09:42] whether he will be able to recreate momentum and put forward a
[00:09:46] vision and we will see what happens in the campaign, for now it's less clear. He
[00:09:49] presents himself as the candidate of the democratic left, I quote, who can beat the far
[00:09:53] right, but for now he is far from reaching the second round
[00:09:57] according to the polls, that's far from the case, while the far right is.
[00:10:00] Uh, you who wrote
[00:10:04] about the victory of the left, what are the main obstacles
[00:10:07] precisely to this access to the second round? Well, I
[00:10:11] think the term democratic is questionable, I don't know exactly what it
[00:10:15] means and besides, what makes the left win and what makes a political
[00:10:18] movement win is a vision, it's what we propose to change the
[00:10:22] country and so it's the ability at some point for a candidate
[00:10:25] to respond to a social expectation and to embody it and that's what we see in many movements, there's a very
[00:10:29] interesting movement happening today in Serbia for example, a high school
[00:10:33] student movement that has been mobilizing for 2 years that has created a citizen's movement that is at 44% in the
[00:10:37] polls, they managed to create that, they managed to create something that tells
[00:10:40] the future of the country, today it won't be enough to just explain that we are against the far
[00:10:44] right, we will have to explain what we are going to change in the lives of the French and I think that is the absolute
[00:10:48] urgency to be credible and to progress in the polls on his program, what does
[00:10:52] Raphael Glucksmann propose today? You say the... but I'm
[00:10:55] sorry, I have nothing against the Uyghurs, but it's a bit far from us and it's true that
[00:10:59] Raphael Glucksmann, apart from Brussels and international affairs, we know
[00:11:02] that he has really taken a stand on them, he is an
[00:11:06] MEP, but he is very far from French concerns
[00:11:09] and concrete issues of purchasing power, so it will be complicated and
[00:11:13] we haven't heard whatever directions we would take
[00:11:16] apart from whether or not we move away from Jean-Luc
[00:11:19] Mélenchon and on the other hand Jean-Luc Mélenchon, you said he needs a vision, what about
[00:11:23] Jean-Luc Mélenchon? They worked. on the LFI side, they have a vision, they have a strategy,
[00:11:27] they have an electoral tactic that works, they attract young people in particular, they
[00:11:30] talk about ecology, they talk about many subjects that interest young people and they are creating
[00:11:34] a groundswell, in fact it started with the municipal elections, Jean-Luc Mélenchon
[00:11:38] ultimately pre-empted the left, a part of the left, he nibbled away
[00:11:42] and he showed that he was the alternative on the left and it will be very complicated
[00:11:46] for Raphael Glucksmann and others in this democratic or
[00:11:49] social-democratic left to show that they can play a role, their
[00:11:53] space is very, very small. Because if he moves too far away from Jean-Luc Mélenchon, he will
[00:11:57] get closer to the center, the center left, center left, center
[00:12:00] right, well that's the current government, it's the Macron bis
[00:12:03] or ter project, and so it won't
[00:12:07] work, they are really in a tight spot for now, we'll see
[00:12:10] how they can try to broaden, is Raphael Glucksmann really
[00:12:14] known by the French? We say about him
[00:12:16] indeed that he is too focused on international and European issues, that he is too
[00:12:20] Parisian too, known by the French, yes, he has still run two European
[00:12:24] campaigns, which is a national campaign where he was the candidate of the Socialist Party,
[00:12:27] so that's less of a question of notoriety in my opinion than of his
[00:12:31] ability to resonate with the French and that's his main difficulty.
[00:12:35] Jean-Luc Mélenchon, it's very clear, he has a program, that's what you were saying just now, he
[00:12:38] embodies something very well. Raphael Glucksmann today needs to embody
[00:12:42] something that matches the French state of mind. He had some initial ideas on
[00:12:46] inheritance and so on, and the question of succession and
[00:12:49] how to recreate tax justice, so he has a first point
[00:12:53] on that, but it's really a fundamental point. Now he will have to find how he as a
[00:12:57] personality connects with the reality of people's daily lives and that's quite difficult to
[00:13:00] build. We saw him struggle in the first debate where he had been heavily
[00:13:04] criticized because it's true that he was very distant and seemed a little
[00:13:08] helpless regarding the questions that were asked by people in the
[00:13:11] audience, very concrete questions. We felt more of a philosophical
[00:13:15] approach or a very macro view of
[00:13:18] things and that doesn't answer. We are still in a presidential election where there are
[00:13:22] problems and crises that are accumulating, professional
[00:13:25] problems for different people, we will need
[00:13:28] a somewhat global approach but one that responds as it goes along to the
[00:13:32] concerns of different people. He has the substance and then he has the form,
[00:13:36] Raphael Glucksmann is often criticized for his lack of
[00:13:39] charisma. To win a presidential election, that matters,
[00:13:42] no, charisma matters, but I think we don't always define it in the right
[00:13:46] way, we define it as the need to have a great orator who would be perfect, which Jean-Luc
[00:13:50] Mélenchon embodies very well. I'll give you an example abroad, it's what happened in 2022
[00:13:54] in Indonesia. There was an opposition candidate who scored quite surprisingly
[00:13:57] at about 25%. Well, he's not a charismatic person, and on the other side you
[00:14:01] have the candidate designated by the ruling power who dances, who
[00:14:05] makes references to K-pop and so on, so that works really well. He is
[00:14:09] a university professor who is very technical, who goes into the substance of the issues, so it's more
[00:14:12] difficult but he manages to do something that is quite impressive, which is that he understands one of
[00:14:16] Indonesia's challenges, which is a very young country with many children
[00:14:20] who are without parents or in a very complicated family situation, and he will embody
[00:14:24] this missing figure, and so we will see him in TikTok lives
[00:14:28] helping children with their homework, helping them think about the future,
[00:14:31] and so on, and so basically he will embody something that was missing for these people and something
[00:14:35] that really resonates in society, so it's maybe just that thing that needs to be found today and
[00:14:39] that doesn't necessarily mean being a great speaker. This
[00:14:41] victory, in any case, comes in a troubled domestic context. You were talking about children
[00:14:45] in Indonesia, and here it's high school students who are in
[00:14:48] crisis. Does he have a role to
[00:14:51] knowing that we will look at this Ipsos poll, according to which
[00:14:55] 80% of young people aged 18 to 29 intend to vote
[00:14:59] in 2027, but that 78% of them believe
[00:15:03] that current political leaders are poorly preparing their future?
[00:15:05] Uh, he has something among young people too, he has the youth vote to
[00:15:09] go for, but it's super interesting, the youth vote, by the way Jean-Luc Mélenchon takes a
[00:15:13] part of it, we can clearly see, uh, I think it's super interesting, so it's terrible that we
[00:15:17] resort to violence, but uh, we look at the
[00:15:20] young people, that's it, we care about young people, while apart from La France Insoumise for the
[00:15:23] moment, I haven't heard of any political party that
[00:15:26] actually cares about youth. There's a simple reason for that, it's that the older people vote and so
[00:15:30] we make policies, we make campaigns and public policies for the
[00:15:34] older people. Now it reveals something, for now I haven't heard from
[00:15:37] Glucksmann particularly on this topic, perhaps to
[00:15:41] avoid precisely being too assimilated to what
[00:15:44] is and then also violence, so to keep a little
[00:15:47] bit safe from all that,
[00:15:51] but we'll have to propose things, it's the future, he surely has things that the
[00:15:54] democratic left, as he says, can propose
[00:15:58] for young people who
[00:16:01] will enter the job market, who may one day become parents because we know that not many want
[00:16:05] to have children, so he has a real project, but for now, I
[00:16:09] find that the first signs, the first lines of this societal project, of this
[00:16:13] democratic left, we don't know them, we don't know them at all. High school students, that's
[00:16:17] the other topic we'll discuss together tonight in
[00:16:19] Presidential 2027. Since the beginning of the movement last
[00:16:23] month, we've talked a lot about the government's failures which did not take the high school
[00:16:26] students' demands seriously at first, which simply responded by sending in
[00:16:31] impression that the tone has changed. Can we
[00:16:34] say today that the government has finally corrected the course? The
[00:16:38] first thing we can say is that when high school students asked to come, they were sent riot police, I think
[00:16:42] that's the thing that struck me the most, it's that when we look at what happened in
[00:16:46] 2006 or even in May 68, there hadn't been as much police
[00:16:49] repression, it was extremely violent and extremely fast and
[00:16:53] then it was denounced by explaining that the high school students did not have clear
[00:16:56] demands, which was not true, they were asking for very simple things, to have a teacher when they arrive at
[00:17:00] school, not to be in overcrowded classrooms and to survive the
[00:17:03] heat or cold in the classrooms, that seemed quite accessible and they were just asking to
[00:17:06] come. So what strikes me most about the movement is how
[00:17:10] something happened among young people that is highly politicized and that perhaps gives
[00:17:14] us a lesson, to say that in fact there are people who want change in this country, who have
[00:17:18] a vision of society and it's with them that we must build it. You say it's politicized, it
[00:17:21] isn't instrumentalized because we saw that behind every high school student who came on
[00:17:25] set to speak, there was often an affiliation to a
[00:17:29] party, whether it was La France Insoumise, the National Rally. So
[00:17:32] that's the game of invitations in these contexts, obviously it's a cultural
[00:17:36] battle. In these cases, so these spokespeople arrive,
[00:17:40] what struck me the most in reality is how it was many people who
[00:17:44] had perhaps never been to a demonstration before and who mobilized
[00:17:47] because it simply seemed fair to them. Afterwards, there are attempts at
[00:17:50] récupération from all sides, we spoke a lot about La France Insoumise in this movement, in fact
[00:17:54] it's quite normal, a political party and you said it earlier, that spends its time talking about
[00:17:58] youth and comes to support the demonstration, it's
[00:18:01] logical that afterwards it does political communication, well yes, it's
[00:18:05] quite, it's its job. On the government which has
[00:18:09] still tried to make some announcements, it has
[00:18:12] notably proposed the deployment of 3000 substitute
[00:18:15] teachers, it has set up a listening platform
[00:18:18] for the grievances of high school students, is it doing
[00:18:22] enough knowing that the coffers are empty and that it will not be able to unlock
[00:18:26] billions immediately? I'm very surprised by the
[00:18:30] reaction he had, especially Edouard Geffray, he's not unknown to the National
[00:18:33] Education, he's someone who knows very well how it works, who has been there for a very, very long time. I had
[00:18:37] the impression, it's not even a delay in starting, it's a yellow vest type error, meaning we
[00:18:41] don't look, we don't consider what Macron did until the last moment when there was
[00:18:45] violence, Arc de Triomphe, and then all of a sudden we get out the checkbook and we
[00:18:49] give 15 or 17 billion euros equivalent in tax
[00:18:52] cuts, yes, but it was the same thing, meaning we waited until the
[00:18:56] movement started on September 17th, it's 3 weeks
[00:18:59] later that we woke up because there was violence that was not by
[00:19:02] high school students, by high school students in fact
[00:19:05] and that's when we start to give answers and I find that's a message but it's
[00:19:09] terrible to give, meaning violence equals okay we'll take care of
[00:19:13] you. Now, no, I think that they haven't yet, I think
[00:19:16] that they will be forced to give little by little, and you say yes the
[00:19:20] budget is tight, but there are priorities to be made, there are choices, there are
[00:19:24] perhaps renunciations and I think that sending a message saying we don't care about
[00:19:28] youth can't go through, there are also questions of "Parcoursup" quite
[00:19:31] simply and everyone knows that, even the government is aware that it's a system
[00:19:35] that is completely upside down, so no
[00:19:37] I think that they will be forced to give even more because Tuesday is act 5,
[00:19:41] another day of mobilization of high school students, the government
[00:19:45] seems to be banking on a dwindling of momentum and it's true that fewer
[00:19:48] high schools were blocked at the end of the week, is the
[00:19:52] government right to bank on this dwindling? It also seems to be banking on the arrival of
[00:19:55] school holidays, which is quite logical and quite
[00:20:00] the continuation of the movement will be whether it will be joined more by
[00:20:04] students, whether it will take more with... trade unions
[00:20:08] pardon me, which are starting to call for mobilization and so in essence, will the anger of
[00:20:11] high school students broaden to something much larger in society?
[00:20:13] finished or do you still have no no
[00:20:16] simply I noticed that we talk about acts and
[00:20:20] all that resembles the yellow vests and we know that there are demonstrations planned a little
[00:20:24] in that direction, there is still a lot of anger in France and it
[00:20:27] seems that it only takes a little for it to ignite in one place for it
[00:20:31] to spread a little more widely, that's why the government is very vigilant so that
[00:20:35] it doesn't end, you know the aggregation of all the angers, it's the famous
[00:20:38] risk of the convergence of struggles, there is another demonstration planned next Saturday,
[00:20:42] October 17th, yellow vests and Yellow Vests, we feel there's
[00:20:46] something, it's enough, what was the Yellow Vests about? The increase in fuel tax?
[00:20:50] It was a small thing, the government didn't see it coming, it was
[00:20:53] Édouard Philippe actually, and and it flared up very, very quickly
[00:20:57] with regular meetings, and here we are again, we are in acts, meaning we're not letting go
[00:21:01] of it, we continue uh we are
[00:21:03] active and we're setting up meetings with a slightly different context
[00:21:07] since it's been 10 years that all listening devices haven't been followed up on,
[00:21:11] there was the great debate, there's the citizen convention for the climate, remember, there was the great march 10
[00:21:15] years ago and each time it was "we're listening to you" but nothing happens
[00:21:18] behind the scenes, and what you... said before is that it only evolves when there's violence
[00:21:22] and so we find ourselves in something that is even more complicated when we are 8 months
[00:21:26] away from a presidential election and therefore arrive in a situation that risks being extremely
[00:21:40] news now and the communication line, clearly scrambled, between
[00:21:44] Kyiv and Washington. This Sunday, Donald Trump announced that an energy
[00:21:47] ceasefire had been concluded between Russia and... except that Volodymyr
[00:21:51] Zelensky was not aware
[00:21:53] of it.
[00:21:55] It was on his social network Truth Social that Donald
[00:21:59] Trump announced this Sunday: a bilateral
[00:22:02] energy ceasefire would have been accepted by Ukraine and
[00:22:05] Russia with immediate effect. The American
[00:22:09] president did not give any details on the terms of this announced
[00:22:12] truce, but this statement comes the day after he criticized
[00:22:16] Zelensky, reproaching Kyiv for its attacks against
[00:22:20] Russian refineries, which, according to Donald Trump, would
[00:22:24] lead to an increase in diesel prices in the United States. He also
[00:22:27] stated that Ukraine should have a new president, which
[00:22:31] would further increase pressure on Volodymyr
[00:22:34] Zelensky, who does not rule out elections under certain
[00:22:38] conditions. We are ready for a ceasefire, we
[00:22:42] are ready to take any step of
[00:22:46] sector, a ceasefire on both sides, and tell Putin.
[00:22:50] He grants us 2 months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60
[00:22:53] days to organize elections, of course, we will accept the
[00:22:57] choice of our people, whatever
[00:22:59] it may be.
[00:23:01] Tensions were already very high on Friday when the American
[00:23:05] president announced an agreement between the United States and Russia for
[00:23:08] the massive purchase of Russian diesel, accompanied by
[00:23:11] an easing of sanctions against Moscow. With this
[00:23:15] agreement, Donald Trump prioritizes the midterm elections
[00:23:18] for which his party is in difficulty, particularly because
[00:23:22] of the increase in fuel prices. First,
[00:23:25] 300,000 tons of diesel on the American and global
[00:23:28] market, a very small quantity according to specialists,
[00:23:32] compared to American demand. Refineries
[00:23:35] are mainly disrupted by the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz
[00:23:38] and the war in the Middle East, initiated by the
[00:23:42] United States.
[00:23:44] In Saudi Arabia, two attacks in 2 days were carried out against Riyadh's
[00:23:48] international airport. The first left at least 12 dead on Saturday and dozens of
[00:23:52] injured, the second also left injured today, strikes
[00:23:56] claimed by Houthi fighters from Yemen, Luc
[00:23:59] Lacroix
[00:24:03] tirelessly targeted, main target, Riyadh airport,
[00:24:07] it was notably hit by a strike
[00:24:09] yesterday, only a few images
[00:24:13] filtered out, the Saudi authorities are reluctant to show that
[00:24:16] they are affected, but a passenger recounts the panic. I
[00:24:20] saw injured people, everyone was running, yesterday's
[00:24:23] attack is the deadliest in Saudi Arabia
[00:24:27] since 2015, 12 dead, including 8
[00:24:30] foreigners, so the
[00:24:33] to mention it, it shows the Minister of Health alongside the
[00:24:36] survivors, hello, how are
[00:24:39] you, over 300
[00:24:42] injured, among them a Frenchwoman, we do not yet know the
[00:24:46] severity of her injuries, today this
[00:24:49] same... airport was targeted once again, new
[00:24:53] injured have just been announced by the authorities. For
[00:24:56] several days, attacks have followed one another on airports, but also on
[00:24:59] Saudi energy infrastructure. They are
[00:25:03] claimed by the Houthis of Yemen.
[00:25:06] We reiterate our warning to all international companies,
[00:25:10] experts, employees, and travelers worldwide not
[00:25:14] to operate flights to Saudi airports. They are not
[00:25:17] safe.
[00:25:20] Sworn enemy of Saudi Arabia, the Houthis are supported by Iran and
[00:25:24] control this area to the west, and
[00:25:26] especially the passage through the Red Sea, which is
[00:25:30] essential for Saudi oil,
[00:25:33] unacceptable for Saudi Arabia, which
[00:25:36] supports its strikes against the Houthis in
[00:25:39] Yemen.
[00:25:42] Until now, the United
[00:25:45] Saudi Arabia, has refused to get militarily
[00:25:48] involved, but... Among yesterday's victims, there was
[00:25:51] an American, and last night Donald Trump called
[00:25:55] the attack against Riyadh airport
[00:25:57] "unacceptable."
[00:26:00] And as yesterday, the international airport of... Dammam, still in Saudi Arabia,
[00:26:04] was also targeted this evening. Stay
[00:26:07] with us, the weekend essential continues, we'll be back in a few minutes
[00:26:25] millions of votes,
[00:26:29] an election that can change everything when...
[00:26:32] America votes, the world
[00:26:34] watches, America's choice,
[00:26:38] the event to experience on France 24.
[00:26:52] France 24, another point of
[00:26:54] view,
[00:26:56] liberty, equality,
[00:26:58] news.
[00:30:07] It is 9:30 PM in Paris and here is the reminder of the top headlines tonight: the
[00:30:11] victory of Raphaël Glucksmann in France in the first round of the left-wing primary, he won
[00:30:15] with 66% of the votes, he wants to be the candidate who can defeat
[00:30:19] the far-right. Also in the headlines, an energy ceasefire
[00:30:23] concluded between Russia and Ukraine, according to Donald Trump at least, the American
[00:30:27] president assures that Kyiv and Moscow will no longer target their respective energy infrastructures.
[00:30:30] who announces that he is not
[00:30:34] aware, finally Riyadh's international airport again targeted
[00:30:37] by an attack this Sunday, there are several injured, a little earlier in the day, the
[00:30:41] Houthis from Yemen had claimed the strike that left at least 12 dead
