[00:00:07] Good evening everyone, and welcome to the heart of the news on France 24. It's
[00:00:10] 6 PM in Paris. On the front page of the news, Saudi Arabia
[00:00:13] acknowledges that the kingdom is being put to the test after the series
[00:00:17] of deadly Houthi attacks, notably against Riyadh airport,
[00:00:21] a series of attacks that killed 18 people and wounded hundreds.
[00:00:24] We'll talk about it with
[00:00:28] a certain fragility of Bruno Darou, good evening Bruno, good evening Stéphanie.
[00:00:30] Volodymyr Zelensky, who finds it increasingly obvious that Russia
[00:00:33] rejects the energy truce unilaterally
[00:00:36] announced by Trump, Russian attacks have multiplied in recent
[00:00:40] hours in Ukraine. We will indeed find our
[00:00:44] correspondent Gulliver Crag.
[00:00:47] French politics with the victory of Raphael Glucksmann who is now the
[00:00:51] social-democratic candidate for the presidential election. He largely
[00:00:54] won the PS and Public Place primary with
[00:00:58] groups. Since the beginning of 66% of the votes in the first round. He
[00:01:00] emphasizes that he is invested with an immense responsibility.
[00:01:04] So what is his campaign strategy? That will be a direct question with political
[00:01:07] journalist Charlotte Tomaka, political journalist at
[00:01:11] RFI. Lormanin, it will be around
[00:01:14] 6:45 PM. The economy will revisit China's competition in the
[00:01:18] automotive industry, which threatens the European industry during this
[00:01:22] first day of the Paris Motor Show. 7:10 PM, the debate, we will
[00:01:25] revisit the war in Ukraine. What is this trap set by Trump for
[00:01:29] Ukraine? Is the American president totally abandoning
[00:01:32] Zelensky? What is the response of Europe and NATO as the hybrid war
[00:01:36] provoked by Russia gains in intensity?
[00:01:52] We start with the Middle East crisis, Saudi Arabia, which recognizes that the kingdom is
[00:01:56] being put to the test after the series of deadly Houthi attacks.
[00:02:00] notably against Riyadh airport, a series of attacks that killed
[00:02:04] 18 people and wounded hundreds, Saudi Energy
[00:02:07] Minister Abdul Aziz Ben Salman has
[00:02:10] promised a firm response. Iran has
[00:02:15] debate, and in the debate we're going to talk about reacted, expressing its deep concern. Benjamin de Lombre
[00:02:19] and Audrey Burlat,
[00:02:21] passengers waiting calmly before boarding when
[00:02:24] suddenly
[00:02:26] drone and missile attacks.
[00:02:31] Panic at the heart of Riyadh
[00:02:34] airport. These
[00:02:38] surveillance camera images have only just been made
[00:02:40] public. Under fire for
[00:02:44] 48 hours, which killed 14 people and injured more than 300, including a
[00:02:48] French national. Saudi Arabia only authorizes the broadcast of very
[00:02:51] rare images of the strikes and damage. In
[00:02:54] Riyadh, the authorities prefer to show the visit to the hospital of official
[00:02:58] officials taking.
[00:03:20] of the most prominent figures of
[00:03:30] In the last three days, Saudi Arabia has carried out about thirty strikes on the
[00:03:34] territory controlled by the Houthis. Riyadh also
[00:03:37] announced that it intercepted a
[00:03:40] battles include the defense of ballistic missile from Yemen tonight.
[00:03:43] Good evening Bruno, good evening Stéphanie, Saudi Arabia acknowledges
[00:03:47] today that it is being put to the
[00:03:50] positioning himself in ambush, he test. Well yes, because we have just seen the Houthi strikes
[00:03:55] credibility, and that's what the against Riyadh airport in particular, but there is also
[00:03:57] Dammam airport, and then the...
[00:04:00] also energy sites,
[00:04:04] a gas site was struck and an oil
[00:04:08] site in the east of the country, so that too
[00:04:11] obviously is very worrying for the Saudi
[00:04:15] authorities. So the Houthis, we must remind our viewers, they
[00:04:19] are attacking Saudi Arabia because Saudi
[00:04:21] the Tree of Arabia, well it supports the internationally recognized
[00:04:25] government of Yemen. The war between
[00:04:28] this government and the Houthis... which has been going on since
[00:04:31] 2014, Saudi Arabia is at the head
[00:04:34] of a military coalition in support of the
[00:04:38] recognized government against the
[00:04:41] and who see this kind of game Houthis a few weeks ago, while the conflict was in a phase of
[00:04:45] low tension, if you will, for several
[00:04:48] months, several years even, well the
[00:04:52] Houthis have resumed being particularly
[00:04:55] active and have launched a lightning offensive that allowed them
[00:04:59] to notably control the other important
[00:05:02] strait for the circulation of oil, namely the
[00:05:05] Babab el Mandeb strait, and
[00:05:08] since then they have been attacking, they are in a good military dynamic.
[00:05:12] They are well organized, they have a unified command, so
[00:05:16] where do their orders come from? Obviously, that's the whole debate because we
[00:05:19] know that Iran is an essential supporter of the
[00:05:23] Houthis, in any case, they are violently, frequently,
[00:05:25] repeatedly attacking Saudi Arabia, and indeed, it's worrying
[00:05:29] for Riyadh, because these are the
[00:05:33] deadliest attacks in over 10
[00:05:36] years, it also reveals
[00:05:40] Saudi Arabia in its systems. of air
[00:05:44] defense in any case, even though the kingdom spends very
[00:05:47] large sums on its military equipment, so
[00:05:51] either it has a problem of competence or it
[00:05:54] has a problem of misdirection of military
[00:05:57] investments in the wrong direction. An official also just
[00:06:01] now, Bruno, threatened a rapid and painful response in case of American
[00:06:04] intervention, because that's the whole question, will the United States
[00:06:07] intervene? That's the question we're asking, and Iran simply
[00:06:11] says today that it is ready. What could its reaction be? Yes, well, let's
[00:06:15] start with the Iranian reaction, which is a bit
[00:06:18] hypocritical, shall we say, since
[00:06:21] indeed the Tehran regime says it is very
[00:06:24] concerned by the situation but obviously does not condemn
[00:06:28] the Houthi attacks, and so there is always a strong
[00:06:32] suspicion that the actions currently carried out by the
[00:06:35] Houthis, even if they have a great deal of independence,
[00:06:39] but anyway, are encouraged, we could say,
[00:06:42] by the Iranian regime, not only to harm Saudi Arabia,
[00:06:46] but also to harm, I was talking about the attacks against the
[00:06:49] Saudi energy sites, well, to harm also
[00:06:53] the global economy, trade and so on,
[00:06:57] in particular via the Bab el Mandeb
[00:07:00] strait. And we remind you that Saudi Arabia
[00:07:03] is the world's largest oil exporter, and so
[00:07:07] obviously these attacks, if they continue like this, will also
[00:07:10] have an effect ultimately on the
[00:07:14] price of oil at the pump for consumers.
[00:07:18] So could Donald Trump intervene in
[00:07:21] favor, so the
[00:07:23] United States, well the Saudi Crown Prince,
[00:07:27] MBS Mohammed Bin Salman has already asked
[00:07:30] the Americans several times to intervene. So
[00:07:33] the Americans are content to provide assistance to the Saudis in obtaining
[00:07:36] intelligence and preparing operations, but for the moment
[00:07:40] Donald Trump has refused
[00:07:42] to intervene militarily and directly alongside the
[00:07:46] Saudis to carry out attacks with the
[00:07:49] Saudis. He even estimated about ten
[00:07:53] days ago that, well, the Houthis had taken control
[00:07:56] of the Bab el Mandeb strait, but since in
[00:07:59] fact they were only attacking Saudi ships and were not
[00:08:03] attacking American interests at all, well,
[00:08:07] everything was fine. But this is where there's a form of blackmail from the Houthis, you
[00:08:10] just mentioned the... the threat, in short, from the Houthis
[00:08:14] with the theme: if you Americans intervene directly alongside
[00:08:18] the Saudis, then there will be a painful
[00:08:21] response, and Donald Trump knows this very well. That is to say, for the moment,
[00:08:25] he has negotiated, well, not him personally, but
[00:08:28] the Americans have negotiated with the Houthis to make this deal, as
[00:08:32] Donald Trump would say. That is to say, you don't touch our
[00:08:35] interests and we don't intervene alongside Riyadh. But there
[00:08:38] the operations against Saudi Arabia are taking on such a scale.
[00:08:42] that it's also the credibility of the United States
[00:08:45] that has already been severely tested with the other Gulf
[00:08:49] allies since the war in Iran. There's a very
[00:08:52] important military cooperation agreement between the United States and Saudi
[00:08:56] Arabia, so if the Americans continue not to intervene, that means that
[00:08:59] really in this region, the countries, including Saudi Arabia, but also the United
[00:09:03] Arab Emirates and others, can no longer count on Washington. So there's a question of
[00:09:08] Houthis know very well, and that's the blackmail they're doing. They're saying,
[00:09:11] "Beware." To Donald Trump, they're saying, "Beware, if you intervene,
[00:09:15] then we will attack American interests
[00:09:18] directly." And for Donald Trump, then we come back to the
[00:09:21] American political context, 3 weeks before the midterms,
[00:09:25] seeing this regional war escalate even more,
[00:09:29] launching the American army into another operation. In fact, Donald
[00:09:32] Trump wants to avoid that at all costs. So that means that for
[00:09:35] now the Saudis will essentially
[00:09:39] have to manage on their own, even if they have logistical
[00:09:43] aid from some countries, including the United Kingdom, France, and so on, but no one
[00:09:46] is engaging very directly, very concretely
[00:09:50] against the Houthis. Thank you very much, Bruno.
[00:09:54] In the news, this deadly shipwreck, at least 139
[00:09:57] migrants, including 15 children, are dead and 84 are missing.
[00:10:00] They were on board an overcrowded boat that was heading
[00:10:04] from Djibouti to Yemen on the night of October 8 to
[00:10:07] 9. The International Organization for Migration indicated that most
[00:10:11] of the people on board were of Ethiopian nationality when the
[00:10:14] vessel capsized north of the city of Obock. Alice
[00:10:18] Broga and Morganer.
[00:10:21] The sea has washed up about ten bodies on this Djibouti beach.
[00:10:25] north of Obock, the day before, a boat carrying
[00:10:28] 305 migrants capsized off the coast while they were
[00:10:32] heading east towards Yemen. According to local
[00:10:35] authorities, this is one of the deadliest shipwrecks ever
[00:10:38] recorded. About 82 people survived and
[00:10:42] dozens are still missing. On board were
[00:10:45] women, men, and also children, so the IOM is working
[00:10:49] alongside local authorities, notably the prefecture of
[00:10:52] Obock, which coordinates operations on... so the
[00:10:55] first survivors encountered were taken care of by the. Despite the
[00:10:59] raging war in Yemen, many migrants tried to
[00:11:02] reach this country, hoping to then continue their journey to the
[00:11:06] rich Gulf countries. According to the International Organization for
[00:11:10] Migration, the majority were from Ethiopia. One of the
[00:11:14] survivors said he came from the Tigray region in the north of the country where
[00:11:17] fighting resumed last month between government forces and rebel
[00:11:23] the year, 178 people have arrived in Djibouti from
[00:11:27] Ethiopia, fleeing difficult living conditions. The IOM
[00:11:30] calls for strengthening their protection.
[00:11:34] We can no longer tolerate these deaths. Safe and legal
[00:11:37] pathways save lives. I call on
[00:11:40] governments and donors to act before another
[00:11:44] shipwreck occurs. This migratory route, one of the most
[00:11:47] dangerous in the world, is also used in the other direction. More
[00:11:51] than 3,700 people fleeing Yemen have embarked for Djibouti
[00:11:55] until last week.
[00:11:58] The war in Ukraine with Volodymyr Zelensky who finds it increasingly obvious that
[00:12:02] Russia rejects the energy truce unilaterally
[00:12:04] announced, it must be said, by Donald Trump, while Russian
[00:12:08] attacks have multiplied in recent hours in Ukraine. Russia has hit
[00:12:12] six energy infrastructures according to the Ukrainian president, and this comes
[00:12:16] the day after Trump's unilateral announcement of a ceasefire on Russian
[00:12:19] and Ukrainian energy infrastructures. The American president also
[00:12:23] authorized Russia to export diesel to the
[00:12:26] United States. Let's listen to Volodymyr
[00:12:28] Zelensky.
[00:12:33] Yesterday, we were hardly surprised to find that at the very moment when the
[00:12:37] American president suddenly published a very
[00:12:40] important message, claiming to have obtained an energy
[00:12:43] ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, jet
[00:12:46] drones flew over our
[00:12:48] sky.
[00:13:25] Gulliver Craig, our correspondent in Ukraine is with us, good evening Gulliver, on the
[00:13:29] ground, we can say that we are far from this famous truce unilaterally
[00:13:33] announced, it must be said, by Donald
[00:13:35] Trump.
[00:13:38] Yes, as Volodymyr Zelensky pointed out, Russian strikes on energy
[00:13:41] targets in Ukraine have continued, strikes on
[00:13:45] other targets too, various apartment buildings were hit
[00:13:48] today, as were cities. Volodymyr Zelensky also stressed
[00:13:51] that even if for him Ukraine should only accept the
[00:13:55] ceasefire if Russia agrees to
[00:13:58] act symmetrically. This night Ukraine
[00:14:02] did not hit energy targets in Russia to show if its ceasefire
[00:14:06] could hold. They hit other targets, I
[00:14:09] think, but I think most Ukrainians really
[00:14:13] didn't believe that a ceasefire could hold.
[00:14:16] Volodymyr Zelensky wasn't even aware when Donald Trump
[00:14:20] announced it on his social media. A ceasefire, you
[00:14:24] negotiate it, you have to define the terms. It's really no longer
[00:14:27] considered something serious here in Ukraine. Donald Trump's
[00:14:30] policy seems to have increasingly sided
[00:14:34] with Vladimir Putin, and I'd like to show you what's right behind me. I came across
[00:14:38] it in this town where I stopped to do this live broadcast on the way between
[00:14:42] Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia. There's something here called
[00:14:46] Hope, for the hope that all the people
[00:14:50] reported missing or who are currently prisoners in Russia
[00:14:53] will return home one day. Thousands
[00:14:57] of Ukrainians who have lost loved ones or who have loved ones who are missing
[00:15:00] are receiving this kind of message from Donald Trump
[00:15:06] from the American president and who feel really, really
[00:15:09] betrayed by an America that they thought until
[00:15:13] very recently they could consider an
[00:15:17] ally. Today, the Ukrainians no longer think
[00:15:20] that, Gulliver, after these new attacks from Donald
[00:15:24] Trump, who accuses being at the origin of the oil crisis in his
[00:15:27] country.
[00:15:31] Yes, it's really the feeling of having been betrayed, of
[00:15:34] course, it's not Ukraine that is at the origin of the increase
[00:15:38] in the price at the pump in the United States, but rather the war led by Donald Trump and
[00:15:41] Benjamin Netanyahu against Iran, which closed
[00:15:45] the Strait of Hormuz. Ukrainians understand this very well, they
[00:15:49] talk a lot about this feeling of betrayal, they are afraid of what
[00:15:52] will happen in the future, of what the United States could still do
[00:15:56] to them if they stop, for example, sharing intelligence
[00:15:59] data, but that's less important now because France and the United Kingdom
[00:16:03] have really come to provide this data to
[00:16:06] Ukraine. Which can depend, I think, there
[00:16:10] have even been discussions, I heard on the radio coming
[00:16:13] here, about the possibility that one day before a tribunal for his crimes against the
[00:16:17] Ukrainians alongside Vladimir Putin, they are really,
[00:16:20] they are really there. There is a little criticism of Volodymyr
[00:16:24] Zelensky who should have probably appointed an ambassador to the United States after
[00:16:27] the ambassador left her post in August. For the moment, they don't have
[00:16:31] an ambassador, who could have reacted to Donald Trump's statements
[00:16:35] with a little less anger. which may not have helped things, but I
[00:16:39] think that even the fiercest opponents of Volodymyr Zelensky understand
[00:16:43] today that the villain is not the Ukrainian president but
[00:16:46] rather the American president. Thank you in Ukraine.
[00:16:50] But it is in this context of Trump's aggressiveness towards Zelensky that the Supreme
[00:16:54] Commander of NATO Forces in Europe, Alexis Greenwich,
[00:16:57] is giving a highly anticipated speech in Warsaw, Poland. The American general
[00:17:01] warns Russia that NATO will do everything in its power to ensure
[00:17:04] that an attack against one of its members is.
[00:17:38] French politics: Raphaël Glucksmann is now the social-democratic candidate for the
[00:17:41] presidential election. The European deputy largely won the PS and Public Places primary with
[00:17:45] 66% of the votes in the first round. He stressed
[00:17:48] last night that he is, I quote, invested
[00:17:52] with an immense responsibility. He must unite a divided
[00:17:55] political family to try to continue an electoral
[00:17:58] dynamic. His portrait with Alexandra Cuarini and Léo
[00:18:01] Péchar.
[00:18:05] He enters his first presidential race.
[00:18:26] He entered the international political scene in 2009 by becoming
[00:18:30] an advisor to the Georgian liberal president Michael
[00:18:32] Saakashvili, a position he held until
[00:18:35] 2013. His first political experience in
[00:18:38] France was also on the right with the Liberal Alternative
[00:18:42] party. Raphaël left and in
[00:18:46] 2019, he was elected deputy in the European elections
[00:18:49] with the Public Place movement which he co-founded a year
[00:18:52] earlier. Re-elected in 2024, he became one
[00:18:58] the moderate left in Brussels. Yesterday,
[00:19:01] hatred won in France and in
[00:19:03] Europe. So, it is time today
[00:19:07] to remember that we are attached to the rights and humanist
[00:19:10] principles that founded European construction.
[00:19:14] It is time to rise up. These
[00:19:18] Ukraine, the Uighurs, and also the fight against Russian
[00:19:22] interference. But his social democratic and
[00:19:25] reformist line draws criticism from the
[00:19:28] left, particularly from Jean-Luc Mélenchon, with whom he
[00:19:31] refuses any alliance. There will be no
[00:19:34] agreement with Francisme, but there will be an agreement with the democratic
[00:19:37] left, with the republican left, and we will win
[00:19:40] the presidential elections, I am absolutely convinced of that.
[00:19:44] Raphaël Glucksmann wants to be the candidate of rupture with what he
[00:19:48] calls Jean-Luc Mélenchon's hegemony over the French
[00:19:50] left and calls for the union of forces to fight against what
[00:19:54] he designates as his lifelong enemy, the far
[00:19:58] right. And these direct questions
[00:20:00] immediately.
[00:20:05] Direct question with Charlotte Tomaca. in the political service of RFI, good evening
[00:20:09] Charlotte, you who have been following Raphaël Glucksmann since the beginning of the
[00:20:13] campaign, what is your analysis of this victory? 66%
[00:20:16] in the first round, he was the favorite but to have won so
[00:20:20] largely is a surprise. Yes, it's very astonishing, it
[00:20:24] must be said that no one was expecting him to be
[00:20:27] so acclaimed as he was with his 66% in the first round,
[00:20:31] and that the first secretary of the PS Olivier Faure would finish so
[00:20:34] low. It's a disavowal for him since he only got
[00:20:38] 14% of the votes, so it's true that everyone expected a second
[00:20:41] round. This was a clear vote, which suits Raphaël Glucksmann's team
[00:20:45] and his entourage perfectly. It's a plebiscite, there's no
[00:20:49] possible challenge. The second one is very
[00:20:52] far behind Glucksmann, so it's a line, you said it, we heard it in the
[00:20:56] report, pro-European, social
[00:20:58] democrat,
[00:21:00] and one that moves away from France Insoumise. In fact, this campaign was more or less
[00:21:04] about proximity or not, with an alliance with France
[00:21:08] Insoumise for the future legislative elections and in the
[00:21:11] way of governing. So there was Raphaël
[00:21:15] Glucksmann and Jéré Gets who is a PS deputy who positioned
[00:21:18] himself by being firmly opposed to any alliance
[00:21:22] with France Insoumise, while the other three candidates, including Olivier
[00:21:26] Faure and Ségolène Royal, but also Emmanuel Morel of the small GRDS
[00:21:29] party, were quite inclined to an
[00:21:33] alliance with France Insoumise. So there, the line that emerged paid
[00:21:36] off for him to have this clear line against Jean-Luc Mélenchon. So
[00:21:40] we must not forget that only 140,000 people
[00:21:44] registered for this primary. There were only 110,000 voters, even
[00:21:48] if that is still a significant number. We are far from the 2 million
[00:21:51] voters there were in 2017 and 2012 in previous
[00:21:55] elections. And above all, we must not forget that 11,000
[00:21:59] voters, as I said, is still very few, and that it
[00:22:02] does not foreshadow a future victory for the
[00:22:05] left in the presidential election. At the beginning, in fact, it's just getting started,
[00:22:09] as Raphaël Glucksmann himself says, who also stressed last night that he is
[00:22:13] invested with an immense responsibility. So after 6 months
[00:22:15] of campaigning, what is his biggest challenge? First, positioning himself against
[00:22:19] Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Positioning himself against Jean-Luc Mélenchon, uniting. He will have
[00:22:23] to unite behind him the entire left wing of the PS, the entire
[00:22:26] Socialist Party, which will still be very complicated. We saw yesterday the
[00:22:29] reactions, notably from Olivier Faure, who was dejected, and from Ségolène
[00:22:33] Royal, who said she was extremely disappointed, who didn't even
[00:22:36] mention Raphaël Glucksmann's name, and who spoke once again
[00:22:39] about the intern who had won the primary. So he will have to
[00:22:43] unite all currents behind him. Will he be supported by the entire
[00:22:47] PS? That's difficult to say for the moment. All these candidates
[00:22:51] signed a charter committing to support the candidate who would be designated
[00:22:54] by this vote. Now, nothing is less certain.
[00:22:58] Perhaps some of these politicians will go
[00:23:01] and form an alliance with France Insoumise. He will also have to reach out to the environmentalists.
[00:23:05] So, precisely, the Greens, Marine Tondelier had quite a negative
[00:23:08] reaction, as she spoke of a retreat choice. So will he
[00:23:12] succeed in bringing them with him? So, Marine Tondelier, we must remember
[00:23:16] that she hoped to be part of a broad primary of the left.
[00:23:20] She wanted to be a part of it, but that was not the case,
[00:23:24] as this primary was not acclaimed by the Socialist
[00:23:27] activists who voted in July against Olivier Faure's
[00:23:31] proposal for a broad primary. So, Marine
[00:23:34] Tondelier still has some
[00:23:37] grievances, if I may say so, towards Raphaël Glucksmann, because this primary was
[00:23:40] tailor-made for him, as it was a primary reserved only for Socialist
[00:23:44] activists and Place Publique, so Raphaël Glucksmann's party.
[00:23:47] It's true that he will have to go and seek out the
[00:23:50] environmentalists as well. There has been a split among the environmentalists for some months
[00:23:54] now, as the environmentalist senator Yannick Jadot, a former presidential
[00:23:58] candidate, decided to support Raphaël Glucksmann and campaigned with
[00:24:02] him in recent months, which is causing tensions within the
[00:24:05] environmentalists and a break with Marine Tondelier. There are also other
[00:24:08] environmentalists who should follow, and who, moreover, were not
[00:24:12] at all satisfied by this reaction, which they found very
[00:24:15] basic, from Marine Tondelier, who spoke, as you said, of a retreat instead of speaking
[00:24:20] of a victory for the left after this election last night, and of a vote when
[00:24:24] even clear, then there were others who were waiting, it's François
[00:24:27] Hollande, is he appearing less as a recourse now that Raphael Glucksmann has
[00:24:31] had such a score, such a score? Well, today it's hard to
[00:24:34] say, we're at D+1 after this election, it's true that François Hollande is
[00:24:40] said he would make his choice in December, he was just waiting
[00:24:44] for the socialist candidate, namely Raphael
[00:24:47] Glucksmann, to collapse in the polls. It's hard to
[00:24:50] say today, and this week, we'll see in the coming weeks with the campaign he
[00:24:54] will lead, he has a post-election dynamic that will take shape in the
[00:24:58] coming days and weeks, we'll
[00:25:01] have to see how it continues in public opinion and
[00:25:05] in the polls. In any case, François Hollande is still there, he
[00:25:08] is waiting for his turn, he believes he is the best placed to
[00:25:12] go for this candidacy for the 2027 presidential election. He has
[00:25:16] somewhat slowed down, let's say, his campaign, so to speak, he
[00:25:20] published a book in September, he is doing a kind of media
[00:25:23] tour, a book-signing tour, and he is
[00:25:27] stepping aside, if I may say so, he is stepping aside to let
[00:25:31] Raphael Glucksmann take the spotlight and to let this socialist primary
[00:25:34] exist. We'll see what he does in the coming weeks, but it's clear that
[00:25:38] if Raphael Glucksmann doesn't create a dynamic in the polls and doesn't take off,
[00:25:41] then yes, François Hollande could
[00:25:45] make a comeback and there could be an agreement within the PS to perhaps
[00:25:49] un-branch Raphael Glucksmann and put the former president of the Republic
[00:25:52] into orbit. Ah, this campaign is difficult, we see precisely what his
[00:25:56] campaign strategy will be to perhaps recover votes from
[00:25:59] disappointed left-wing Macronists by Emmanuel
[00:26:03] Macron, try to gather broadly, as broadly as possible in the center,
[00:26:06] that's the strategy. So he has a solid
[00:26:09] competitor, so to speak, on his right, Raphael
[00:26:12] Glucksmann is Gabriel Attal who
[00:26:15] also has the who finds himself in the same political segments and with the same
[00:26:19] ideas, well not exactly the same, he is still a little more liberal but Gabriel
[00:26:23] Attal has an image of a former socialist, it's true that he comes from the PS, originally
[00:26:27] he was an advisor to a former Minister of Health, Marisol Touraine under
[00:26:30] François Hollande. Gabriel, he tries to remove his label
[00:26:34] of Macronist and Raphael Glucksmann tries to show that he does not want to ally
[00:26:38] with the Macronists, but we must not forget that last week Gabriel
[00:26:42] Attal called for there to be only one candidate from the reformist
[00:26:45] left to the right of Bruno
[00:26:48] Retailleau, and he called for a primary. Raphael Glucksmann firmly
[00:26:51] opposed it, refusing it outright, what he wants is to
[00:26:55] obviously remove his "Macron-compatible"
[00:26:57] label. We know
[00:27:01] that... at the European Commission, the votes are
[00:27:05] quite close to those of the
[00:27:08] group to which the Macronist
[00:27:11] MEPs belong, and so he is trying to run a slightly
[00:27:15] more left-wing campaign, he is positioning himself notably on the high school blockades movement, he is
[00:27:19] positioning himself in opposition to Gabriel Attal who is going with a
[00:27:22] strategy of explaining that violence solves nothing but doesn't talk
[00:27:26] about the substance. Raphael Glucksmann explains that yes, there is a problem with
[00:27:30] youth and that this problem needs to be taken seriously. We'll see how
[00:27:34] he does, he continues to do so, can the novelty, in a word, Charlotte, play
[00:27:37] in his favor? The novelty there after this primary
[00:27:41] yes, it will surely create a dynamic in the polls, we will see at the end of the week the
[00:27:44] opinion polls. Afterwards, Raphael Glucksmann is
[00:27:48] not a new candidate strictly speaking, he has been tested in the polls for several months, he has been
[00:27:52] more or less campaigning for several months, he was campaigning without being the official
[00:27:55] candidate, but in any case he was a candidate for the primary and
[00:27:59] before that he was campaigning, but not
[00:28:02] officially in politics, he is new at the national level, but not at the
[00:28:06] level of politics itself, thank you very much,
[00:28:09] Charlotte Tomas, journalist at the RFI political service, thank you for following
[00:28:13] us, we'll be back after a short break, we're going to talk economy, the
[00:28:18] Ukraine, stay with
[00:28:19] us.
[00:28:27] I have to put on my perfume, we are family, it's a staple in urban
[00:28:31] legends with Julie. On RFI, let's go.
[00:28:34] Yeah, to do 5 km, how long does it take you? Me, it takes
[00:28:38] 21 minutes. 21 minutes, you? Not seconds.
[00:28:42] 21 minutes, 21 minutes, 40, okay? And
[00:28:45] you, well, 2 and a half
[00:28:46] days.
[00:28:50] We're still here, if you start now, I'm coming.
[00:28:53] Don't move, but that's it, I told you, that's it, you're going to take
[00:28:57] over, you're going to
[00:28:58] take over, that's it.
[00:29:01] Urban legends.
[00:30:09] It's 6:30 PM in Paris, news from India, tens of thousands of
[00:30:13] demonstrators marched in the streets of New Delhi, they are demanding the resignation
[00:30:17] of the president of the electoral commission, they are mobilized against
[00:30:20] a revision of the electoral lists because they believe it benefits
[00:30:24] Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We found
[00:30:27] Alban Alvarez, our
[00:30:28] correspondent, in New Delhi.
[00:30:31] In France, in Aubagne, near Marseille, a 14-year-old adolescent shot with a hunting
[00:30:35] rifle and injured the principal of Joseph Lacanale college as well
[00:30:39] as a teacher.
