[00:00:08] 8 a.m. in Paris, welcome to France 24. Top news this Monday: can French
[00:00:11] and European car manufacturers compete against
[00:00:14] the Chinese industry? This question will be widely discussed at the
[00:00:18] Paris Auto Show, inaugurated shortly by Emmanuel
[00:00:21] Macron. The head of state is expected to focus on the electrification of
[00:00:24] vehicles, European preference,
[00:00:28] and innovation. On Friday, Beijing agreed to curb its exports of hybrid cars
[00:00:31] to the EU. We'll catch up with Christophe
[00:00:35] at the scene shortly to get an update. Raphaël Luxman
[00:00:38] overwhelmingly won the social-democratic
[00:00:41] if he came to power. I propose to left primary. The MEP was designated as candidate in the
[00:00:43] first round, with 66% of the votes, far ahead of his
[00:00:47] opponents. With the leader of Place Publique, the PS will not have a candidate
[00:00:50] from its ranks to represent it in the presidential election on April 18th. And
[00:00:54] now, can the left reconcile before an election where the far
[00:00:58] right is predicted to win? We will discuss this with
[00:01:01] Fleur Simon on this panel, as well as with our
[00:01:05] guest, researcher Olivier
[00:01:07] Guilloto. Thank you very much for being with us. And the Houthi rebels in
[00:01:11] Yemen struck Saudi Arabia all weekend. The latest drones and missiles fell
[00:01:15] overnight on the airports of Riyadh
[00:01:18] and Dammam. They remain closed. The toll: at least one dead, 11 injured. This adds to the
[00:01:22] 13 dead and 309 injured from Saturday. Donald Trump, for his part,
[00:01:25] does not rule out supporting the Saudis.
[00:01:42] It promises to be electric. The 91st Paris Auto Show
[00:01:46] opens its doors this morning in Paris,
[00:01:49] Porte de Versailles, where we find Christophe
[00:01:54] ahead of Raphaël Glucksmann as far as , our special envoy, who will be covering this
[00:01:57] event where Emmanuel Macron will be later, Christophe, who will
[00:02:00] inaugurate this new
[00:02:01] edition.
[00:02:05] Yes, and it will be his last Auto Show as
[00:02:09] president, he who has been a loyal attendee since his
[00:02:12] arrival at the Élysée. And during his two
[00:02:15] mandates, this show has gone through many turbulences, with a
[00:02:19] 2020 edition cancelled due to COVID,
[00:02:22] and the 2022 one held in a smaller format. Finally,
[00:02:26] with some people perhaps fearing the disappearance
[00:02:30] of this event, two years ago the show marked its
[00:02:34] return with 48 manufacturers present, 500,000 visitors, still very
[00:02:37] far from the 1 million visitors of 2018. And then this year,
[00:02:41] it's really the return: 60 manufacturers
[00:02:44] will be there at Porte de Versailles until Sunday. Apart
[00:02:48] from Ferrari, Porsche, or
[00:02:51] even BMW, which cancelled at the last minute, most of the major
[00:02:55] European manufacturers are
[00:02:58] primary, or rather for this left had been controlled in recent days by the army of present: Mercedes, Volkswagen despite its difficulties. And the French manufacturers are also here,
[00:03:02] Renault, which is among the most loyal, or Stellantis, which
[00:03:05] is making a strong comeback this year with almost all its brands, and
[00:03:08] especially at Citroën, the
[00:03:12] West Africa has known. 2CV, which is presenting a concept of an electric 2CV
[00:03:16] this time. It's still one of the
[00:03:19] favorite cars of the French, the most collected, and it's coming back in an electric
[00:03:23] version, and in 2 years it will be sold for 15,000 euros. And
[00:03:26] I was talking about French manufacturers. Those who are very
[00:03:30] present are also Chinese manufacturers. Yes, indeed, you are in front of the stand
[00:03:34] of a Chinese manufacturer, Christophe,
[00:03:35] right?
[00:03:40] Arabia. Their civil aviation Yes, Xpeng
[00:03:41] fragmentation of is one of the big Chinese manufacturers who is here in force with
[00:03:44] more than 100 square meters, presenting, I counted at least
[00:03:48] 11 types of vehicles. Right
[00:03:52] behind me is a drone, we had seen a robot, and there will also be
[00:03:56] an autonomous car, we will talk about
[00:03:57] until the end of it later. Right next door, there is the
[00:04:01] BYD stand, which is also here in
[00:04:04] Ethiopia's deplorable declaration of force, also presenting its luxury brand
[00:04:06] Denza. In total, there are about twenty
[00:04:09] Chinese manufacturers who have come here to Porte de
[00:04:13] Versailles, that's twice as many as in the last edition. You should
[00:04:17] know that today, Chinese cars account for 4% of sales in
[00:04:20] France. In 4 years, it will be perhaps four times more. And
[00:04:24] this is despite an agreement, you mentioned it,
[00:04:27] an agreement announced Friday between Brussels and Beijing to moderate
[00:04:31] Chinese exports
[00:04:34] the complete closure of of hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles to
[00:04:38] flights resumed on Sunday at the city's Europe, but the details remain to be specified. Here, things are clear, Chinese ambitions
[00:04:43] violence of the remain intact. You video images show passengers at talk about hybrid, but the big star this year is still electric.
[00:04:49] people have been treated at this hospital in Or rather, the electric show, and
[00:04:53] electric is everywhere, with the Chinese, of course, with the Europeans, in new products
[00:04:57] and in prototypes, with an additional
[00:05:00] that is, to a whole part of argument this year, of course: the soaring
[00:05:03] fuel prices due to the war in Iran, due to the war in Ukraine. In
[00:05:07] September, gasoline exceeded 2.40 euros per liter on
[00:05:10] average in France, which is a record. And the result is
[00:05:14] the acceleration of electric car sales, which today represent almost
[00:05:18] half of new car registrations in France and Europe,
[00:05:22] with still many questions about the purchase price,
[00:05:25] about
[00:05:27] range, about charging. Here,
[00:05:31] manufacturers want to be present on all
[00:05:34] fronts. And then there's another novelty that will attract, that is attracting
[00:05:38] curiosity at this show: the autonomous car, which is another star of
[00:05:41] this edition. Emmanuel will dedicate a round table to it at around
[00:05:44] 12:30. Several brands are presenting them,
[00:05:48] some, notably
[00:05:51] Tesla and Xpeng, precisely the brand
[00:05:54] in front of which I am standing, are offering to test them in the streets of
[00:05:58] Paris. This is also a first for this edition of the Auto
[00:06:01] Show. While some cities in the United States or Asia
[00:06:05] are already used to these autonomous cars, but with bicycles, with pedestrians,
[00:06:09] with traffic and the
[00:06:12] intersections around Porte de Versailles, it will be another
[00:06:15] type of challenge for this Auto Show, which will have to prove
[00:06:19] itself. Christophe Danset from this Auto Show, which we will follow on
[00:06:22] France 24. Thank you very much, Christophe. What concerns him is not electric cars but diesel. Donald
[00:06:26] Trump reached an agreement with
[00:06:29] Russia on Friday for a better
[00:06:32] supply of diesel. His strategy
[00:06:36] is unclear between Ukraine and Russia. He announced yesterday on his social network
[00:06:39] an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. A surprised Volodymyr
[00:06:43] Zelensky said he was ready to accept it if Moscow did
[00:06:46] the same. We will see this with Ethan
[00:06:49] Hadji.
[00:06:51] It was on his social network Truth Social that Donald
[00:06:55] Trump announced this Sunday: a
[00:06:58] bilateral energy ceasefire would have been accepted by Ukraine and
[00:07:01] Russia with immediate effect. The American
[00:07:05] president did not give any details on the terms of this announced
[00:07:09] truce, but this declaration comes the day after the criticism
[00:07:12] he made against Zelensky, reproaching Kyiv for its attacks on
[00:07:16] Russian refineries. These would result, according to Donald
[00:07:20] Trump, in increasing diesel prices in the United States. He also
[00:07:23] declared that Ukraine should get a new president, which would
[00:07:27] further increase the pressure on Volodymyr
[00:07:30] Zelensky, who does not rule out elections under certain
[00:07:34] conditions.
[00:07:36] We are ready for a ceasefire, we are ready to take any step towards
[00:07:40] de-escalation to spare the sector. Energy ceasefire on both
[00:07:44] sides, and tell Putin to give us 2 months, 60
[00:07:47] days of total ceasefire, 60 days to organize
[00:07:51] elections. Of course, we will accept the choice of our
[00:07:54] people, whatever it may be.
[00:07:58] The tension was already very high on Friday when the American
[00:08:01] president announced an agreement between the United States and Russia for the
[00:08:04] massive purchase of Russian diesel, accompanied by a
[00:08:08] relaxation of sanctions against Moscow. With this
[00:08:11] agreement, Donald Trump prioritizes the midterm
[00:08:14] elections, for which his party is struggling, particularly due to
[00:08:18] rising fuel prices. First,
[00:08:22] 300,000 tons of diesel on the American and global
[00:08:24] market, a very small quantity according to
[00:08:27] specialists, given American demand. Refineries are mainly
[00:08:31] affected by the blocking of the Strait
[00:08:34] of Hormuz and the war in the Middle East, initiated by the
[00:08:38] United States. This new series of Houthi strikes
[00:08:42] on Saudi Arabia happened overnight. The Houthi fighters from Yemen
[00:08:46] again claimed responsibility for ballistic missile, cruise missile, and drone
[00:08:49] attacks on Saudi
[00:08:52] authority is currently reporting one dead and
[00:08:56] 11 injured in these new strikes. This adds to the 13 dead, 309
[00:09:00] injured over the weekend, especially at Riyadh airport, where the surveillance
[00:09:03] video footage is always impressive. The airport
[00:09:07] will be closed at least the day. Sophie
[00:09:11] Samail. Saudi Arabia
[00:09:15] attacked relentlessly. The main
[00:09:18] target, Riyadh airport, was hit by two
[00:09:21] attacks on Saturday and Sunday, the deadliest
[00:09:24] on its soil since
[00:09:26] 2015.
[00:09:29] Yemeni armed forces conducted four major operations in the last
[00:09:32] 24 hours, using ballistic and cruise missiles as
[00:09:36] well as drones. The first operation, carried out in three
[00:09:39] phases, targeted King Khalid International Airport in
[00:09:42] Riyadh and led to the disruption of air traffic and
[00:09:47] the airport. These surveillance
[00:09:52] King Khalid Airport in Riyadh reeling from the
[00:09:56] explosion. Since Saturday, hundreds of injured
[00:10:02] the Saudi capital. The airport itself is
[00:10:05] closed until Monday evening. Strikes
[00:10:08] are also hitting other airports and Saudi
[00:10:12] energy infrastructure located in the east of the country,
[00:10:16] all claimed by the Houthis of
[00:10:19] Yemen. The Saudi-led coalition, for its part,
[00:10:22] announced it had shot down a
[00:10:26] missile in the same area. Interception and
[00:10:29] destruction of a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi terrorist militia towards
[00:10:33] Khamis Mushait. In the region and among
[00:10:36] allies, several leaders have reacted. Israeli Prime
[00:10:40] Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned a horrible
[00:10:43] terrorist attack. Donald Trump, for his part, described these strikes
[00:10:47] as unacceptable, indicating that he would consider
[00:10:50] possible American involvement in military
[00:10:54] operations.
[00:10:57] They preferred to go to Yemen rather than stay in their war-torn
[00:11:00] country. At least 139 migrants died in the sinking of an overloaded
[00:11:03] boat off the coast of Djibouti over the weekend. 84
[00:11:07] are missing. These are mainly Ethiopian
[00:11:10] migrants fleeing the war in the Tigray region. Alice
[00:11:14] Broga: The sea has washed up about ten
[00:11:17] bodies on this beach in Djibouti, north of Obock. The
[00:11:21] day before, a boat carrying 305 migrants ran aground
[00:11:25] off the coast as it was heading east towards Yemen.
[00:11:28] According to local authorities, this is one of the
[00:11:31] deadliest shipwrecks ever recorded. Approximately
[00:11:35] 82 people survived, and dozens are still reported
[00:11:38] missing. On board were women, men, and also
[00:11:42] children. So the IOM is working alongside local
[00:11:45] authorities, particularly the prefecture of Obock, which is coordinating
[00:11:48] operations on site. So the first survivors encountered were
[00:11:52] taken care of by the IOM. Despite the ongoing war
[00:11:56] in Yemen, many migrants were trying to reach this country, hoping to then
[00:11:59] continue their journey to the rich Gulf countries. According to
[00:12:03] the International Organization for Migration, the majority
[00:12:06] were from Ethiopia. One of the survivors said he came from the
[00:12:10] Tigray region in the north of the country, where fighting resumed last
[00:12:13] month between government forces and rebel groups. Since the
[00:12:17] beginning of the year, 1,778 people have arrived
[00:12:20] in Djibouti from Ethiopia, fleeing difficult living
[00:12:24] conditions. The IOM calls for strengthening their
[00:12:26] protection. We can no longer tolerate these
[00:12:30] deaths. Safe and legal routes save
[00:12:34] lives. I call on governments and donors to
[00:12:37] act before another shipwreck occurs.
[00:12:40] This migratory route, one of the most dangerous in the world, is also
[00:12:44] taken in the other direction. More than 3,700 people fleeing
[00:12:47] Yemen have embarked for Djibouti until last
[00:12:50] week. We will focus precisely on the region they were fleeing,
[00:12:54] the rising tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea. At stake is the
[00:12:58] fate of this Ethiopian region of Tigray. The Ethiopian army is continuing its
[00:13:01] offensive. Facing it, troops from Eritrea are said to have
[00:13:05] entered Tigray. The two countries accuse each other of aggression.
[00:13:08] Eritrea denounces a declaration of war and even seizes the United Nations. Nicolas
[00:13:12] Chamontin.
[00:13:14] Amid applause, Ethiopian armed forces vehicles
[00:13:17] enter Digrat. This Tigrayan city
[00:13:23] neighboring Eritrea. But behind
[00:13:26] it, a population at the end of its strength.
[00:13:30] Children and the elderly are hungry, the sick are dying
[00:13:33] because medical treatment is lacking.
[00:13:37] We therefore implore the competent authorities to help us
[00:13:40] immediately.
[00:13:44] Hostilities recently resumed between the Addis Ababa army and the
[00:13:48] Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF). At the end of
[00:13:52] September, rebels from this northern Ethiopian state
[00:13:55] launched a major offensive against the central government, taking
[00:13:59] control of several localities in the region. Addis Ababa
[00:14:03] accuses Eritrea of supporting the TPLF. This week,
[00:14:06] several thousand Eritrean soldiers are said to have been deployed in the region,
[00:14:10] without official confirmation from Asmara. An act
[00:14:13] of aggression for Ethiopia, which carried out strikes against its neighbor's troops
[00:14:17] in self-defense. Eritrea, for its part,
[00:14:21] appeals to the United Nations. Eritrea asks the UN Security
[00:14:24] Council to strongly condemn
[00:14:29] war against Eritrea and to take against
[00:14:32] it the necessary deterrent measures in accordance with
[00:14:35] Chapter 7 of the United Nations Charter. This
[00:14:39] escalation raises fears of a new war between the two neighbors, who had already
[00:14:42] clashed between 1998 and
[00:14:45] 2000, then from 2020 to 2022. In recent
[00:14:48] days, the executive of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said it had
[00:14:52] regained control of most of the cities conquered by the rebels,
[00:14:56] and notably Mekelle, the capital of Tigray. As a sign of a gradual
[00:14:59] return of federal authority,
[00:15:03] airport after weeks of interruption. On board the first
[00:15:06] aircraft were representatives of the central government.
[00:15:09] In France, the first round of the presidential election is on
[00:15:12] April 18th, and Raphaël Glucksmann will
[00:15:15] therefore be the candidate of the Social Democratic Left, from the alliance between the
[00:15:19] Socialist Party and his movement Place Publique. The MEP
[00:15:22] largely won the primary which was organized during the weekend.
[00:15:25] 66% of the votes, with his closest challenger
[00:15:29] Olivier Faure at only 14%. A clear vote but one that does not hide the
[00:15:32] dissension within the French left, while the far right is predicted to win
[00:15:36] by all polls. I propose we listen to one of Raphaël
[00:15:40] Glucksmann's first statements after the announcement of his victory:
[00:15:43] it is the victory of all those who believe that we need a democratic left in
[00:15:47] our country, that the left must break with this hegemony
[00:15:51] of Jean-Luc Mélenchon over it, that it must propose
[00:15:55] a project that strengthens the republic, that strengthens democracy, that
[00:15:58] strengthens social justice, that strengthens
[00:16:01] the ecological imperative. You know, I am convinced that there are
[00:16:05] millions of French women and men who are waiting for this moment, who
[00:16:08] are waiting to be able to vote without sacrificing a part of themselves,
[00:16:12] without telling themselves that they are simply voting against but that they are voting for what they
[00:16:15] believe in, for what constitutes their political identity. I am addressing them,
[00:16:18] your time has come, this election will be our
[00:16:22] election. For these declarations to our colleagues at France 2, by my
[00:16:25] side, our political columnist Fleur Simon. Hello Fleur. How can
[00:16:29] we explain this strong start for Raphaël Glucksmann? Indeed, it is indeed the
[00:16:32] line of rejection of any alliance with La France Insoumise that was
[00:16:35] overwhelmingly approved yesterday evening. As you said, Damien, 66%
[00:16:39] for Raphaël Glucksmann. If we add the 5% for Jérôme
[00:16:43] Guedj, who was also a candidate for deputy in Essonne, which is about
[00:16:47] 5%, we are still at more than 70%, which is therefore
[00:16:50] the victory of this anti-LFI line. It was
[00:16:54] in fact the real stake of this primary. So, a resounding
[00:16:58] victory for Raphaël Glucksmann. It also clarifies the line
[00:17:01] for the presidential election for this candidate
[00:17:05] who will therefore be the candidate of social democracy of the
[00:17:08] left for 2027. Raphaël
[00:17:11] Glucksmann, well, he also achieved a victory,
[00:17:15] more than hoped for, and it must be recognized that he managed
[00:17:19] to avoid the arrows launched by his opponents because we saw the
[00:17:22] three debates that preceded this primary where he was
[00:17:26] attacked by Ségolène Royal, we
[00:17:30] remember that she called him an intern, who said that he would
[00:17:34] rally to the center, who also said that it was a holdup on the Socialists.
[00:17:37] On the PS, excuse me, and Olivier Faure, well, a little less frontal but who was
[00:17:41] not to be outdone, also in the same vein, saying that
[00:17:44] the Socialist Party would
[00:17:47] disappear if Raphaël Glucksmann won this primary. Anyway, Damien, this is the
[00:17:51] first time that the Socialist Party is not present for a presidential
[00:17:54] election. So Raphaël Glucksmann
[00:17:58] and then there's something else, Damien, this victory therefore, the anti-LFI line is
[00:18:02] rejected. And then something else, when we look at the polls, the voting intentions
[00:18:05] for Raphaël are between 10 and 13%.
[00:18:09] Whereas Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the Socialist Party, is
[00:18:13] between 5% or even less than that. So
[00:18:16] necessarily, there's also something where we say that people voted for the one
[00:18:20] who is most likely to animate and have a
[00:18:23] dynamic for this
[00:18:27] presidential election of 2027. So there was a large victory yesterday
[00:18:30] evening for Raphaël Glucksmann in the first round for this Socialist Party
[00:18:35] primary, because it wasn't just the party.
[00:18:38] Stay with us, Fleur. We are online with Olivier Guiot, a research
[00:18:41] professor in strategy and political science at Insec, a major business school. Thank
[00:18:45] you very much for being with us. We
[00:18:47] talked with Fleur Simon about this campaign where there was a lot of blood on the walls
[00:18:51] on the left, and also, we didn't talk about it, but this video of Raphaël Glucksmann that
[00:18:55] leaked just before the debates. Will it now reshuffle
[00:18:59] the cards? Will everyone rally
[00:19:02] behind this candidacy of Raphaël Glucksmann on the left?
[00:19:05] Well, that's the big question. What's
[00:19:08] certain is that the hardest part
[00:19:11] is just beginning, and as far as rallying is concerned, we saw that
[00:19:15] it was a bit timid yesterday. So we can assume that Olivier
[00:19:18] Faure was a bit stunned by these results, but it's true that he
[00:19:22] immediately addressed topics like "I will be
[00:19:26] with high school students", while we know that Raphaël
[00:19:29] Glucksmann had gone to demonstrations
[00:19:31] a few years ago, and had been a bit
[00:19:34] booed. So maybe that's not his terrain. He
[00:19:38] said, "Raphaël Glucksmann, dear Raphaël Glucksmann," not "dear Raphaël," well,
[00:19:42] he had these elements of language that
[00:19:45] seemed to indeed raise questions. Ségolène Royal's reaction
[00:19:49] was also not, excuse
[00:19:52] me, it was not incredible. And so the real
[00:19:56] question is, will there be a dynamic? Will there be a
[00:19:59] rallying, as Fleur so well said, at 11 to
[00:20:03] 13%? If he has a polling dynamic, he will find himself quite
[00:20:06] close to Mélenchon's
[00:20:09] intentions, and then indeed we will
[00:20:12] see that it will be even more
[00:20:16] savage and brutal than what he has experienced. And the question is
[00:20:20] whether he is capable of holding his ground and
[00:20:23] having thick enough skin to resist this
[00:20:27] type of attack. And that will be the big unknown for
[00:20:30] ultimately generating a dynamic. We still feel
[00:20:34] that he is responding to something,
[00:20:37] the left that is pro-European, that is
[00:20:40] anti-Mélenchonist, and there they will have a very clear point of reference with
[00:20:44] Raphaël Glucksmann. But he must still create an adherence,
[00:20:48] a dynamic that also allows
[00:20:50] him to maybe reveal himself as the useful vote precisely. He was during the
[00:20:53] primary, Mélenchon was 5 years ago, in the
[00:20:57] first round, if there is a kind of useful vote competing with
[00:21:01] Mélenchon, then that will be something that will prove really interesting. Well, in the meantime,
[00:21:04] Jean-Luc Mélenchon, he is thriving, he gathered more than 1000 people
[00:21:08] yesterday at a meeting in Clermont-Ferrand, they even had to put
[00:21:12] the crowd outside with a giant screen to listen to
[00:21:16] his speech. Very few comments or almost none yesterday
[00:21:20] on this left primary. He preferred to focus on the
[00:21:23] high school movement. He again railed
[00:21:27] against Parcoursup in particular, and promised to abolish it
[00:21:31] listen to him. But this
[00:21:34] movement
[00:21:37] is the cry that announces the end of a
[00:21:40] period of which they have been the victims.
[00:21:44] No, it is not by chance or by oversight or by
[00:21:48] negligence that secondary education
[00:21:51] establishments, general education and vocational education are in
[00:21:55] this state, not to mention primary
[00:21:58] education. This has been
[00:22:01] methodically organized
[00:22:05] for more than 15 years. So much for this
[00:22:09] extract from Jean-Luc Mélenchon's speech yesterday at the meeting in Clermont-Ferrand. It's an extract, but it's
[00:22:12] really the trend of his speech. He had talked about the left primaries when he was the day before
[00:22:16] in Jargovi. Yesterday, almost nothing. It gives the impression, Fleur, that he
[00:22:20] is almost putting himself above everyone else and not even mentioning this left
[00:22:24] primary. Yes, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, overlooking it. Well, Jean-Luc Mélenchon,
[00:22:28] we see that yesterday, especially in this meeting, he is trying
[00:22:31] to continue to capitalize on this high school movement. But it's true
[00:22:35] that when we look again, we are 7 months away from the presidential
[00:22:39] election. When we look at the polls, Jean-Luc Mélenchon is
[00:22:44] the left he is at the head of the left so it's true that Raphaël
[00:22:47] Gluxmann if you want he will have to... the
[00:22:50] stakes that will be for him there soon,
[00:22:54] he will also have to make proposals because his only
[00:22:57] opposition to Jean-Luc Mélenchon will not be enough
[00:23:00] in the end to create a real dynamic and to
[00:23:03] become the useful vote on the left. Jean-Luc Mélenchon wants
[00:23:07] to be that useful vote on the left, he says that on the
[00:23:10] left he has me and me, finally you see, he won't have
[00:23:14] an alliance with lafi anyway with the Rafael Guizmann line there won't be one, but
[00:23:18] Jean-Luc Mélenchon doesn't count anyway.
[00:23:20] and so he continues to go his own way, indeed, as you said Damien, we saw it again
[00:23:24] yesterday in this meeting in Claire Montferrannd, he didn't talk about the
[00:23:27] primary and he didn't talk about the left-wing candidates
[00:23:30] overhanging all that, so there you go, he is going his own way Jean-Luc Mélenchon, also
[00:23:34] strong with this dynamic that we can see in the polls,
[00:23:38] once again we are 7 months away from the presidential election, Olivier
[00:23:41] Guillo, we see this left of all tendencies
[00:23:44] confused tearing itself apart between several branches on the right, it's not better for
[00:23:48] the moment anyway in this campaign. uh with Édouard Philippe
[00:23:52] on one side, Gabriel Atal uh on the other
[00:23:54] and and and the candidate Rotaillot who doesn't know yet if he will be the
[00:23:58] candidate of the whole right or not, meanwhile, the far
[00:24:01] right is making its way, the National Rally, despite
[00:24:05] uh the media part investigation on Jordane Bardela is doing very well
[00:24:08] in the polls,
[00:24:11] yes, absolutely, the base is solid, you know, that is
[00:24:15] to say that today uh we don't see
[00:24:18] how uh the candidate uh of the... whether it's
[00:24:21] Bardela can do less than 28, 29
[00:24:25] %, they are still between 33 and 35. And it's true that
[00:24:28] necessarily the
[00:24:31] the left and the right helps them, you know, that is to say, he doesn't really have
[00:24:35] any clear
[00:24:37] opponents, the only one finally who seems until
[00:24:41] today to be able to hold his own, well, it was Mélenchon too because
[00:24:44] he has this experience, he has this background, we
[00:24:48] think indeed. of Édouard Philippe but he will have to bring together
[00:24:52] the camp at least of the center if he really wants to hope to make a match
[00:24:56] and then he has this new landscape on the left where finally he
[00:25:00] now has two clearly identified poles, Mélenchon and
[00:25:03] Gluxman with the question of knowing also what the ecologists will do
[00:25:06] what the communists will do for the moment they are going for a
[00:25:09] candidacy, will they rally, we saw the reaction of Marine
[00:25:13] Tondolier who was rather negative towards
[00:25:15] Gluxmann, Gluxman who has Yannig Jado who spoke of ecological
[00:25:20] revolution, so he is going on this ground and that's really what
[00:25:24] will be interesting to see in the days and weeks to
[00:25:28] come and then if we look at Luxman, will he
[00:25:31] reveal himself, will he break the armor, yesterday on TV
[00:25:34] it was interesting because he used "I" a lot, that is to say he
[00:25:38] placed himself as "my" project, so he asked, he called for
[00:25:42] unity, I think it was it was it was
[00:25:45] well seen but he also used "I" and "I" is something
[00:25:49] that is important in a French presidential election
[00:25:52] which is which is a vote for a person yeah
[00:25:55] thank you, thank you very much Olivier Guillou for enlightening us this morning, thank you very much Fleur
[00:25:59] Simon for this political analysis before closing the news,
[00:26:03] images of this important fire in the center of Paris, tonight, there was a acrid smell
[00:26:06] throughout the capital, it's still the children's market
[00:26:10] red burned, according to the mayor of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd
[00:26:13] and 4th arrondissement of Paris, the place was , I quote, ravaged by
[00:26:17] the flames, the fire is under control, but the oldest covered
[00:26:20] market in the city of Paris is therefore now
[00:26:24] damaged, we do not yet know the origin of this fire, live
[00:26:28] images from the center of Paris of this 3rd arrondissement where... the
[00:26:32] fire brigade deployment is still impressive
[00:26:36] and the neighborhood completely cordoned off, we will take a short break, 3 minutes 30 and we will be back
[00:26:40] in a moment for a new news broadcast, the rest of the front page, see you
[00:26:43] soon,
[00:29:08] He is 25 years old, Sierra Leone is ravaged by
[00:29:12] war, one of the most violent that
[00:29:26] Diamonds were sent out of Sierra Leone in exchange for weapons and
[00:29:30] ammunition. as the country seeks to
[00:29:33] rebuild,
[00:29:40] baptized peace diamond, it becomes a symbol of
[00:29:43] peace. I am so proud, through the peace
[00:29:46] diamond, we see concretely what this produces, when we give to the
[00:29:49] community, but behind the sparkle of the diamond, lies a darker
[00:29:53] side. These diamonds, we find them, but we
[00:29:56] suffer from them. Return ticket to Sierra
[00:30:00] Leone, to see on France 24. and our social
[00:30:03] networks.
[00:30:07] 8:30 AM here in Paris, welcome to France 24, on the front page Voladimir Zelensky who
[00:30:11] denounces a Russian strike against a Ukrainian power plant this Sunday,
[00:30:14] strike, despite Donald Trump's announcement which surprised everyone over the weekend,
[00:30:18] an energy ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow, a declaration which
[00:30:22] notably surprised the Ukrainian president himself, while on their side, the
[00:30:25] United States has just concluded an agreement on the purchase of Russian diesel.
[00:30:29] The Houthi rebels in Yemen struck Saudi Arabia all weekend. The latest
[00:30:33] drones and missiles struck the airports of
[00:30:36] Riyadh and Damascus overnight, with at least one dead and 11 injured, in addition
[00:30:40] to the 13 dead and 309 injured on Saturday, these impressive
[00:30:44] images of the Riyadh airport, Donald Trump does not rule out
[00:30:47] supporting the Saudis, facing the Houthis and reluctantly, we will decipher this in a
[00:30:51] moment with Antoine Mariotti, and then can
[00:30:54] French and European car manufacturers
[00:30:57] compete against the Chinese industry?
