[00:00:09] Hello everyone, it's 3 p.m. here in Paris, see? Ah, well, there's 4 p.m. in Kyiv, it's time for your world tour.
[00:00:13] Today is Monday, October 12, here are the headlines. First, the
[00:00:16] shooting in Aubagne, near Marseille. A 14-year-old middle school student opened fire in his
[00:00:20] school. He shot three times before injuring two people and being
[00:00:23] arrested. He is not known for
[00:00:26] are a large number within delinquency or radicalization. The investigation is
[00:00:29] ongoing. Emmanuel Macron reacts, saluting the composure of the educational team that prevented
[00:00:33] the worst, he says. NATO in battle order.
[00:00:36] The supreme commander of the alliance spoke earlier. He assures that
[00:00:40] the organization will ensure that any attack against its members will be
[00:00:43] completely in vain. This statement comes as Trump is dealing
[00:00:47] with Putin and demanding elections in Ukraine. She is the
[00:00:50] star of the 2026 World Motor Show, the electric 2CV
[00:00:54] is presented by Stellantis, a resurrection on
[00:00:57] which the group is counting heavily against the...
[00:01:00] omnipresent at the show, we will find our guest Anthony
[00:01:04] Juton, associate professor at
[00:01:23] 3:30 p.m. today, Ebola 5 months after the start of the epidemic,
[00:01:27] where are we? Has the Democratic Republic of
[00:01:31] Motor Show. We remind you that you are an Congo reached a plateau, or is the worst yet to come? Interview with Dr. Jean Kassey, General Director of the
[00:01:35] African Center for Disease Control and
[00:01:43] energy prices are lower
[00:01:53] Middle school students in Aubagne are in shock after a shooting at the Joseph Lacanal school.
[00:01:57] Early this morning, a 14-year-old student
[00:02:00] shot the principal of the establishment and a
[00:02:03] teacher. Both were injured. The teenager was
[00:02:13] Lacanal college in Aubagne. Dozens of
[00:02:15] parents are waiting to pick up their children.
[00:02:19] The atmosphere is tense because this morning, a student entered
[00:02:22] the establishment armed with a hunting rifle. He opened fire
[00:02:26] on the college principal as well as a teacher.
[00:02:30] The events occurred shortly before 10 a.m. This mother
[00:02:35] And it is therefore exhibited at the Mondial de tries to reassure her daughter who is still in the building.
[00:02:38] Nobody. Okay, so don't be afraid.
[00:02:41] She didn't see, she saw, she called me, she told me there was a lot of blood in the
[00:02:45] hallway. She was panicked. My daughter saw the
[00:02:48] blood, she started screaming, running. That's it. The police arrived, they
[00:02:51] evacuated the first students who were
[00:02:55] in front. The 53-year-old principal and the 37-year-old teacher
[00:02:59] were taken care of by emergency services, injured in the
[00:03:02] legs and lower back. Their vital prognosis is not
[00:03:05] engaged. The 14-year-old boy, a third-year student,
[00:03:09] unknown to the police, was arrested by the police.
[00:03:12] According to our information, he was armed with a 12-gauge
[00:03:15] hunting rifle and allegedly fired several
[00:03:18] times. In front of the college, angry parents
[00:03:21] questioned this morning the security conditions within the
[00:03:25] establishment.
[00:03:27] How, how is it that the guy got in? How easily? I can't
[00:03:31] understand, sir. The third-year student entered the establishment with a firearm for
[00:03:34] reasons that are totally unknown to us.
[00:03:37] This is an act that is not linked to the current
[00:03:41] high school movement. He fired twice, hitting the
[00:03:45] principal and a
[00:03:47] Zoblazo, and afterwards she'll tell us how she teacher who are obviously in the hospital but injured in a
[00:03:50] non-lethal way, I would say. A
[00:03:53] psychological support unit has been set up to support the
[00:03:56] students. An investigation has also been opened for attempted
[00:04:00] assassination. The Minister of the Interior and the Minister of
[00:04:03] National Education are expected on site
[00:04:05] today.
[00:04:09] is still quite far from The ministers are still on their way, and as the prefect said, the shooting has nothing
[00:04:11] to do with the ongoing mobilization in French high schools. While the
[00:04:15] vast majority of schools remained open this Monday morning,
[00:04:19] violence is increasing, according to the Ministry of
[00:04:21] Education. At least eight National Education personnel were
[00:04:31] After 1 month of mobilization, they do not intend to give up.
[00:04:35] This morning again in several high schools, students renewed
[00:04:38] the blockades, as here in Paris where the announcements of the Ministry of National
[00:04:42] Education did not convince.
[00:04:46] Apart from the 3,000 teachers who were assigned but in a way, these are pseudo
[00:04:49] measures, these are false answers. The objective here is to hold out at least until the
[00:04:53] holidays, to show that we are here on October 17. Despite potential
[00:04:56] delays in the program, their determination is...
[00:05:00] No, we are here to express ourselves first
[00:05:03] and I think that will be taken into account, we will be able to catch up
[00:05:07] with blockages that affect fewer and fewer establishments according to the Ministry of
[00:05:10] National Education: 96.5% of high schools
[00:05:14] have reopened, as here where students are concerned about lost class
[00:05:18] hours, all our work will
[00:05:21] accumulate and in the end it will just fall back on us if there are
[00:05:25] a lot of tests at once and we haven't had classes for 2 weeks.
[00:05:29] In Villeurbanne near Lyon, classes are still being held
[00:05:32] remotely. In front of the gates, teachers share the
[00:05:36] students' demands. We
[00:05:39] the establishment to be in solidarity with this movement. At some point... it would be good to
[00:05:43] tackle the problem at the root, and if we miss a few weeks of classes but we get
[00:05:47] resources and then the conditions for
[00:05:50] learning are better, well frankly, it won't be time lost in my opinion.
[00:05:54] Attention, attention, you are participating in a gathering in Mérignac,
[00:05:58] the mobilization was marked by excesses, images that
[00:06:02] suggest a more tense day tomorrow as a new
[00:06:05] demonstration is
[00:06:06] announced.
[00:06:09] France has been targeted by a cyberattack, hundreds of... Euromarché and
[00:06:13] Leclerc supermarkets have been affected. They claim that the
[00:06:16] hackers remotely triggered the forced defrosting of
[00:06:20] refrigerators, resulting in all fresh and frozen products having to be
[00:06:24] thrown away. Another attack that is not claimed at a time when sabotage is
[00:06:28] increasing and Moscow is being pointed at. This Monday, the head of the
[00:06:31] NATO armed forces spoke, an opportunity to show the alliance's muscles in the face of a
[00:06:43] project, nor intention, nor ambition
[00:06:47] other than the protection of our
[00:06:51] No one should confuse our defensive posture with weakness.
[00:07:06] I want to clarify an essential point, I do not believe that a conflict is imminent or
[00:07:09] inevitable.
[00:07:12] Russia, which continues its strikes in Ukraine and makes things clear,
[00:07:16] there is no question of a lasting ceasefire. The
[00:07:20] Kremlin says it is only ready to cease fighting for a few hours, long enough for the
[00:07:23] Ukrainians to vote for a new president. Zelensky, for his part,
[00:07:26] demands a 60-day ceasefire. He spoke this morning by
[00:07:30] videoconference at a security forum organized in
[00:07:33] Warsaw. We listen to the Ukrainian
[00:07:34] president.
[00:07:39] Yesterday, we were hardly surprised to note how. at the very moment when the
[00:07:43] American president suddenly published a very important
[00:07:46] message, claiming to have obtained an energy ceasefire
[00:07:49] between Russia and Ukraine, Russian Shahed drones
[00:07:52] flew over our
[00:07:54] sky.
[00:08:03] We are ready to observe an energy ceasefire, if Russia is
[00:08:06] ready to do the same. We agree if they are, and
[00:08:10] we have already shown that we really mean
[00:08:12] it.
[00:08:18] Last night, Russian oil refineries were not burning,
[00:08:22] but at midnight, a Russian jet drone strike
[00:08:25] targeted a gas production facility in Ukraine.
[00:08:27] At the beginning of the week,
[00:08:32] oil prices are again higher. Brent crude is trading at
[00:08:35] over $106, a nervousness in the markets that
[00:08:39] can be explained by the situation in Saudi
[00:08:42] Arabia, with 14 deaths, the kingdom has rarely experienced such a
[00:08:45] deadly weekend, targeted by the Houthi rebels, Riyadh admits
[00:08:55] boarding when suddenly,
[00:08:58] drone and missile
[00:09:00] attacks,
[00:09:03] panic in the heart of Riyadh
[00:09:06] airport.
[00:09:08] Filmed on Saturday, these surveillance video images have only just been
[00:09:12] released publicly.
[00:09:15] Under Houthi attack for 48 hours, which left 14
[00:09:18] dead and more than 300 injured, including a French national, Saudi
[00:09:22] Arabia only authorizes the diffusion of very rare images of the strikes and
[00:09:25] damage. In Riyadh, the government prefers to show the
[00:09:28] hospital visit of two official officials, checking on the
[00:09:32] injured. That's good, you have everything you
[00:09:35] need.
[00:09:37] In addition to Riyadh airport, the strikes also targeted Dammam
[00:09:41] and sites of the oil giant Aramco. The
[00:09:43] Houthi attacks, this Iran-allied rebellion that controls
[00:09:47] eastern Yemen, are unprecedented in over 10 years. This
[00:09:51] morning, Riyadh announced its intention to retaliate with force. The events
[00:09:54] of recent weeks are serious. Our response must be equally
[00:09:58] strong.
[00:09:59] Over the past three days, Saudi Arabia has
[00:10:03] carried out about thirty strikes on the territory controlled by the
[00:10:06] Houthis. Riyadh also announced that it intercepted
[00:10:10] tonight a ballistic missile from Yemen.
[00:10:13] So,
[00:10:16] and the situation causes, as you know, inflation at
[00:10:20] gas stations, and these pump prices tend
[00:10:23] to boost electric car sales. That's good, they
[00:10:27] are everywhere at the Motor Show that opened this morning here in Paris.
[00:10:30] Stellantis hits hard, it revives the electric
[00:10:34] 2CV. Born in 1948, a symbol of
[00:10:37] freedom, it is reborn in an electric version. Commercialization is expected
[00:10:40] to launch in 2 years, we are announced a price of around €15,000.
[00:12:51] prototype will become reality in 2028 and
[00:12:55] will then be commercialized.
[00:13:00] l'Auto where we find our guest Anthony Junton, hello and thank you for being
[00:13:03] on France 24. You are an associate professor at ENS Paris
[00:13:06] Saclay. You directed the book "Introduction to Electric
[00:13:10] Vehicles, Principles, Technology and Perspective", a book that
[00:13:14] will be published this month. Well,
[00:13:16] we understand that the 2CV was the great star of this
[00:13:18] show.
[00:13:22] Yes, the two things are the big star of the show, what we see is that the
[00:13:25] other stars of the show are also small, affordable cars,
[00:13:29] especially the Dacia Spring, the Fiat
[00:13:32] Panda, a little less affordable the Audi A2, but we see
[00:13:35] that the manufacturers are highlighting
[00:13:39] marketable small vehicles at a
[00:13:42] reasonable price, and then the other stars are the prototypes
[00:13:45] which are less accessible and are not intended to
[00:13:49] go into production. Which ones, for example, does that mean they won't be commercialized?
[00:13:53] exemple ça veut dire qu'ils seront pas commercialisés?
[00:13:57] So Renault is presenting an Espace, Stellantis has
[00:14:00] proposed, so at Peugeot, there's a Peugeot R6, there's a
[00:14:04] Peugeot T16 that somewhat evokes what
[00:14:08] the 208 will be but is a bit like the Renault 5 Turbo, something
[00:14:11] that is not intended to be sold. They released
[00:14:15] a Fiat Multipla that looks, I haven't had time to see it yet, but it looks
[00:14:19] very interesting in terms of concept but does not
[00:14:22] prefigure a commercial vehicle in the short term either.
[00:14:25] And I think there's an Opel
[00:14:28] STX that somewhat prefigures the Opel Astra station wagon but
[00:14:34] reality, it makes for concepts in terms of design especially that
[00:14:37] are
[00:14:46] Uh, to come back to electric cars, in 2026, what percentage of total
[00:14:50] sales do they represent, and does the price increase that we talk about every day on our
[00:14:53] air also boost these sales and this
[00:14:55] demand?
[00:14:58] Clearly, since the war in Iran, we've seen
[00:15:02] the percentage of electric car sales increase over the last two
[00:15:06] months. We're at 40-42% of the percentage of
[00:15:10] new vehicle sales being electric, and what we see is that since, we can
[00:15:13] say, roughly since the R5,
[00:15:16] vehicles have become very competitive: the R5, the
[00:15:20] Scénic, the EC3, and more recently, for road cars, the Mercedes
[00:15:23] CLA and the BMW i3 have become
[00:15:26] vehicles that are completely competitive compared to
[00:15:30] thermal vehicles. And in terms of
[00:15:33] performance and comfort, electric vehicles were at the
[00:15:36] level from the beginning, and now we see that in terms of price and range, they have reached the
[00:15:40] level of thermal vehicles. That means that the
[00:15:43] price, the range, the
[00:15:46] battery charging, these are no longer the big obstacles we used to
[00:15:49] talk about just a few years ago, 5 years ago, 4 or 5 years ago, they were real
[00:15:53] brakes.
[00:15:55] So, as for range,
[00:15:58] the road cars sold today have 600-700 km
[00:16:01] of range. These cars are quite expensive, costing over
[00:16:04] €5,000. But for someone who wants a
[00:16:08] road car, they are almost the same price as their thermal
[00:16:11] equivalent, and they have a
[00:16:15] superior range to that of your vehicle, and
[00:16:18] they charge in 15 minutes, enough time to grab a coffee, and for
[00:16:22] vehicles that are less
[00:16:25] accessible, like the Renault 5, we're at 400 km
[00:16:28] of range, which means that on the highway, we'll have
[00:16:31] 300 km of range, so you can drive
[00:16:34] for 2 hours, take a break, and we've reached a point where it's
[00:16:38] totally usable
[00:16:42] for a regular user.
[00:16:46] And what remains, so there's still a bit of a price
[00:16:50] difference on high-end vehicles, there's roughly an equivalence between thermal
[00:16:53] and electric vehicles. On cheaper
[00:16:57] vehicles, the battery price makes them still a bit more
[00:17:01] expensive. The EC3s with incentives should start at
[00:17:04] €15,000, and a Renault 5 with incentives should be under
[00:17:08] €20,000, so we're a bit more expensive than a Renault Clio, and
[00:17:12] a bit more expensive than a classic Citroën C3. Well, the big
[00:17:16] argument, we understood, is that
[00:17:20] than for traditional cars, and then there's the ecological
[00:17:24] aspect. Is an electric car more ecological than a thermal car
[00:17:28] throughout its life cycle? All scientific studies
[00:17:31] show that in every
[00:17:34] country, except perhaps India for now, but that's changing,
[00:17:38] electric cars are better than
[00:17:42] thermal cars in terms of carbon footprint. In terms of
[00:17:45] materials, it's difficult to compare because extracting oil
[00:17:49] and extracting lithium are the same thing, but in terms of impact, it's still
[00:17:52] better. And if you're in France where
[00:17:55] electricity is of nuclear origin, so without CO2
[00:17:59] production, or in countries where there's a lot of
[00:18:03] electrical energy coming from
[00:18:06] renewable energies, well, your vehicle
[00:18:09] production will have a relatively
[00:18:12] low environmental impact, your energy that you will
[00:18:16] take from the charging station will have a relatively
[00:18:19] low environmental impact, and you are between 3
[00:18:23] and 5 times, you have an environmental cost over the entire life
[00:18:27] cycle of the car that is between three and 5 times better than
[00:18:39] a third of the exhibitors at this motor show, Anthony
[00:18:43] Juton. It is said that the European market is completely
[00:18:46] flooded with Chinese cars, especially
[00:18:49] electric ones. There's this BYD factory that is now established in Hungary.
[00:18:53] How do we Europeans begin to reduce our
[00:18:57] dependence on China? Is it possible to manufacture new
[00:19:01] models of batteries, for example,
[00:19:04] to do without cobalt and nickel? Is it
[00:19:08] possible?
[00:19:11] For now, the European market is not flooded with
[00:19:14] Chinese vehicles. Chinese vehicles are arriving in
[00:19:18] Europe, but we cannot say that for now the European market
[00:19:21] is flooded. And when you look at the
[00:19:24] sales in Europe, there are still primarily
[00:19:28] car manufacturers, then there's Tesla, but otherwise
[00:19:32] European manufacturers: Renault, Volkswagen,
[00:19:35] Stellantis. So for now it's not...
[00:19:37] Uh, we cannot talk about a wave that
[00:19:41] is flooding Europe. On the other hand, what is clear is that they have arrived
[00:19:45] in force at the Auto Show. They have stands that are
[00:19:48] shining brightly. They have new products. They bring in
[00:19:52] football players, etc. Clearly, they are investing to establish themselves in
[00:19:56] Europe and they have invested enormously,
[00:19:59] in a subsidized way, the state has invested in the development of electric
[00:20:02] vehicles and has invested enormously in mines
[00:20:05] that allow the extraction of
[00:20:09] materials for battery manufacturing.
[00:20:13] So there are many mines in Congo that are
[00:20:16] controlled or have agreements with China.
[00:20:19] And in China there are many
[00:20:23] rare earths, and it's mainly in refining, the refining of
[00:20:27] cobalt, of graphite to make the
[00:20:30] battery anodes, of rare earths,
[00:20:33] it's done in China because Europe for a long time neglected
[00:20:36] these factories. It was not profitable and so today China has
[00:20:39] on the one hand an advantage, well, we mustn't
[00:20:43] deny it, a technological advantage in
[00:20:46] electric vehicles and especially in batteries, and on the other
[00:20:49] hand. uh, well, it controls rare
[00:20:52] earths and materials from
[00:20:55] refining at least, and then
[00:21:07] in Europe? Oh, we are trying in Europe to extract lithium and to
[00:21:10] redevelop a rare earth industry?
[00:21:14] Renault and BMW manufacture electric motors with wound
[00:21:18] copper rotors without rare earths, so we know how to do that, it has a very good efficiency, it
[00:21:21] works very well, so we know how to make motors without rare earths, and at the battery
[00:21:25] level, there are battery technologies that
[00:21:28] use much less Chinese-sourced
[00:21:31] materials, and ACC in northern
[00:21:35] France is now starting to produce at a battery production
[00:21:38] rate that, I think they announced, is 20% 20%
[00:21:42] reject rate, they are gradually approaching the 5%
[00:21:46] reject rate that will allow them to
[00:21:49] enter industrial production. But clearly, in terms of
[00:21:52] batteries, we should look, but ACC must
[00:21:55] produce 6,000 batteries per month, and
[00:21:59] in China it's millions, so
[00:22:02] we clearly have a delay that we are trying to catch
[00:22:06] up on in collaboration with
[00:22:09] Chinese companies on
[00:22:12] battery manufacturing, or rather electrode manufacturing
[00:30:14] Alright, your world tour continues, it's 3:30 PM here in Paris, 1:30 PM in
[00:30:17] Dakar. It's time for your African stopover. Today, the start of the school
[00:30:21] year in Senegal which had been postponed, and then the health situation around
[00:30:35] So, the big day for millions of Senegalese. The bell finally rang this morning. The start
[00:30:39] of the school year took place. It was supposed to happen last Wednesday, but due to
[00:30:43] the floods, the Senegalese authorities preferred to postpone the opening
[00:30:46] of schools until today. Sarasaco, we'll find you live from Dakar. Hello
[00:30:50] to you. How did it go this
[00:30:51] morning? And...
