[00:00:00] It's hard to imagine the extent of [00:00:02] the, [00:00:08] hello everyone, good to see you again on France 24, welcome to this live broadcast that [00:00:12] is starting, here we go for 3 hours of non-stop news, so [00:00:16] living, the demands of here are the main headlines to start with, a series [00:00:19] of new bomb threats on at least 12 [00:00:22] airliners this morning, today the announcements of false [00:00:26] alerts are multiplying, just like those of diverted planes, but [00:00:29] what's going on in the European sky since Tuesday, we're going to try [00:00:33] with Sylvin Rosso to get a clearer picture to explain this situation that [00:00:37] tends to repeat itself, hello Sylvain, I'll see you in a bit, the other [00:00:40] big headline is our black day, this black day dreaded here in France, we call [00:00:44] it the convergence of struggles launched by the unions, employees, [00:00:48] civil servants, yellow vests, retirees are called to join the [00:00:51] 250 demonstrations planned across the territory, [00:00:54] obviously young people remain at the heart of this movement, we're going to [00:00:58] take the pulse from Auberville. in this edition in front of the Corbusier high school where the situation was [00:01:02] tense, it seems a little calmer [00:01:05] again we will find Pauline Godard there and then [00:01:09] the Americans still waiting for the results in Alaska and Mississippi, it doesn't matter for [00:01:13] the Democrats, the victory is already clear, so clear [00:01:17] that many Republicans are asking Donald Trump today to change his political [00:01:20] strategy. The ambitious Juds began to [00:01:24] distance himself, judging the war in Iran responsible. We will [00:01:27] focus on the high expectations caused by such a result, [00:01:31] particularly in Ukraine, that will be with you, Anne Corpe, hello Anne, hello, [00:01:48] 2 days after a wave of false alerts on board commercial flights, the [00:01:51] situation is repeating itself again today in the European sky, an airliner [00:01:55] A320, first let's take the Dublin-Rome route was [00:01:59] initially diverted to the Evreux air base, [00:02:02] the aircraft has since landed very [00:02:05] quickly, two new aircraft, then three, then seven suffered the same fate, [00:02:09] as I speak to you, there are now 12 aircraft that have had to [00:02:13] change their route and land in an emergency due to bomb [00:02:17] alerts, it's a situation [00:02:19] that is repeating itself and evolving very quickly, Sylvain [00:02:23] Rousseau, hello, we are together to try to get a clearer [00:02:27] picture, I was saying a situation that is quite similar [00:02:30] to what happened yesterday and the day before yesterday, yes, except that you're talking about [00:02:34] 12 diverted planes, they weren't all diverted, some were able to [00:02:38] return to the airport where they were [00:02:41] scheduled to go, [00:02:43] meaning the sign of but it's just that between yesterday and the day before yesterday there were a little less [00:02:46] than ten and today with 12 we're almost multiplying by 2. So what [00:02:50] is sure, what we know because we actually know quite little, is that it mainly concerns [00:02:54] European international connections. Yesterday and the day before yesterday it was mainly [00:02:58] the United Kingdom and Ireland. Today, even if there was this flight from [00:03:02] Dublin, it's primarily Italy that would be affected by [00:03:05] look at this, the Ukrainian president who the [00:03:08] threats, where a plane that had been the subject [00:03:11] of a threat was able to land. What we know [00:03:15] for now is that no bomb has been detected in any [00:03:19] of these planes, even if, of course, those that are concerned today are still being [00:03:22] inspected, like the one in Evreux, you mentioned it. [00:03:26] For the European and national authorities, it is still too early to establish a [00:03:30] link between all these threats, there is no [00:03:33] claim, no identified perpetrator, no proven [00:03:36] evidence for now of terrorism or involvement of a [00:03:40] hostile state. The first investigations in the United Kingdom seem to [00:03:43] point towards malicious hoaxes. Is it [00:03:46] one person, a group of coordinated people, or [00:03:49] is it several people who are taking advantage of the announcement [00:03:53] effect, meaning an opportunism effect triggered by a [00:03:57] first alert that makes a lot of noise [00:04:00] and then we think that it's actually a good way to cause chaos. What is certain is that the risk is [00:04:04] obviously taken very seriously, all security measures will be [00:04:07] taken every time precisely because the risk with the multiplication of these [00:04:10] alerts is to think that they are false and that we ultimately don't take a real [00:04:14] bomb seriously. Thank you very much, Sylvain, we'll find him a little [00:04:18] later, it's true that the question we ask ourselves quite spontaneously is who is behind all this and [00:04:21] why does such a phenomenon keep repeating itself, we'll see that with you [00:04:25] then in the rest of this edition, we're [00:04:29] stopping now. on this movement against the high [00:04:32] cost of living, it's [00:04:34] of artists, a lot of places where there was back on the streets today, employees and civil servants are called to go [00:04:37] on strike this Thursday, November 5th, for wages at the call of the inter-union, but [00:04:40] also of high school and student organizations, active [00:04:44] and retired French people are called to join one of the [00:04:47] 250 gatherings planned across the country, the objective is to bring [00:04:51] together anger to put the government under pressure, the details [00:04:54] and demands to start with Gal [00:04:57] Fonseca. [00:05:00] From the public, [00:05:01] from the private, [00:05:04] there should be more than 50,000 demonstrating throughout [00:05:08] France today, a strike day that comes after three [00:05:11] consecutive Saturdays of mobilization and against a backdrop [00:05:15] of high school anger that has been expressed for several weeks [00:05:18] now, so we are calling on all high school students to block their establishments in the morning and [00:05:22] join the demonstrations in the afternoon, the young people will rally to the [00:05:25] workers to denounce the cost of [00:05:28] the inter-union calling for this social movement are clear: a [00:05:32] revaluation of salaries, pensions and aid, [00:05:36] more tax justice, better fight against global [00:05:40] warming and the revision of the budget project. 2027 which [00:05:43] provides for the freezing of social benefits and a decrease in funds [00:05:47] allocated to public services, but for the route of their procession, the [00:05:51] unions are still opposed to the authorities, the prefects can [00:05:54] prohibit them or modify them. In Paris, for [00:05:57] example, strikers will not be able to march from Bastille to [00:06:00] Concorde, but will have to settle for a route from Place de la [00:06:03] République to Nation, at the risk of being arrested by the [00:06:07] police. What surprises us is that the police prefecture [00:06:11] justifies its refusal of our Bastille-Concorde route on the [00:06:14] security context and imposes an alternative route [00:06:18] that it refused us 15 days ago for security reasons. The [00:06:22] Ministry of the Interior, for its part, is deploying the same security measures [00:06:25] as during the last demonstrations, including elite units. We [00:06:29] are mobilizing again 70,000 police and gendarmes throughout the national [00:06:32] territory. We are extremely vigilant because it is out of the [00:06:36] question to relive in any way whatsoever, even slightly, what we went [00:06:40] through on October 17th. The government fears the arrival of black [00:06:44] blocs, wild processions, and looting or damage to [00:06:47] businesses. Last Saturday, 7,709 [00:06:50] people were arrested without major incidents across the country. [00:06:54] territoire. [00:06:57] And as I told you, in today's processions, employees, yellow vests, unions [00:07:00] and, of course, young people. Let's [00:07:04] not forget, this movement started with high school students in mid-September and since the start of the school year, they have [00:07:08] resumed blocking their establishments. We're going to find Pauline Godard immediately, who is our correspondent. [00:07:15] Hello Pauline, blockades, we imagine before going [00:07:18] to demonstrate later, we were with you a [00:07:21] little earlier on France 24, you told us about tensions, it [00:07:25] seems that the situation has returned to calm [00:07:27] since then, [00:07:30] yes, listen, the situation had returned to calm a [00:07:34] few minutes ago and it has become tense again, so it is [00:07:37] extremely volatile because in fact there are [00:07:41] police officers in plain clothes to arrest a young person and from that [00:07:45] moment on, all the young people who were in front of the [00:07:49] high school started protesting against this arrest, we [00:07:52] saw one of the plainclothes police officers hitting [00:07:56] the crowd of these young people who were protesting against [00:08:00] this arrest, then we saw other police officers arrive as reinforcements, at that [00:08:03] moment, tear gas was again fired to [00:08:07] try to disperse these [00:08:10] young high school students a little earlier when... we arrived around [00:08:14] 7:15 in the morning and there was this blockade [00:08:17] organized in front of this high school, there was even music, a small [00:08:21] breakfast organized and the high school students explained [00:08:25] to us that they considered that they [00:08:28] were not being heard enough and still not heard by [00:08:31] the government and that is why they believe that today they must [00:08:35] continue to demonstrate and not give [00:08:38] up, they told us, they explained to us that the government [00:08:42] was only giving them crumbs and that therefore all of that was insufficient, there are [00:08:46] also many teachers who are on strike in this [00:08:49] Corbusier high school, I was able to speak with them as well, notably with [00:08:53] Ocean and Jean-Baptiste, who first told us that they were proud, proud of their students, [00:08:56] proud of these high school students who are fighting for their rights and to [00:09:00] be able to study in better conditions, they also tell us that they [00:09:04] ultimately have the same demands as the high school students [00:09:07] because they believe that they lack resources, that they [00:09:11] have had enough, that education is being cut year by [00:09:15] year and I saw these teachers at one [00:09:17] point form a human chain in [00:09:21] fact to protect these high school students [00:09:24] when the police arrived, I saw [00:09:28] these police officers who tried to disperse the [00:09:31] demonstration since they were blocking the street [00:09:35] and some of these teachers were hit with batons, [00:09:38] there was even a student who was injured in the head. [00:09:42] The firefighters intervened and evacuated him because he [00:09:46] had an injury that we were able to see for [00:09:49] ourselves and it is true that these students, these teachers and [00:09:53] even parents of students are also there and tell us that they [00:09:57] come every day to support the high school students but also [00:10:00] to protect them and then normally later [00:10:04] at 12:30 there will be a gathering in front of Aubervilliers town [00:10:07] hall, this gathering where [00:10:10] normally several unions [00:10:12] all trades combined but also high school [00:10:16] and student unions and students from several [00:10:19] high schools are expected at this gathering in front of Aubervilliers [00:10:23] town hall and they have... [00:10:25] the objective afterwards is to go to Paris, Place de la République [00:10:29] to participate in this large demonstration that is planned this [00:10:32] afternoon at the call of the inter-union but also at the call of the [00:10:36] yellow vests, they want to continue to be there to demonstrate [00:10:39] again and as I told you the situation has been on [00:10:43] many occasions this morning several times tense in front of this Corbusier [00:10:47] high school but right now the situation has calmed [00:10:50] down again, there you go, with some students as we see behind you who [00:10:54] are... quietly, thank you very much Pauline, these two figures have just been [00:10:57] communicated by the ministry, 16% of teachers on strike as [00:11:01] I speak to you, 33% of higher education [00:11:05] establishments disrupted according to the ministry, a large-scale [00:11:09] mobilization that should gather, according to a territorial intelligence note, between [00:11:13] 50,000 and 700,000 people in the processions today, not counting the [00:11:16] demonstrations in Ile-de-France that we will continue to cover this afternoon for the march in [00:11:20] Paris, the administrative court finally validated the alternative [00:11:23] route that was proposed, the one between [00:11:27] Place de la République and Nation, we will obviously be on [00:11:30] site. Under pressure from the street, which is [00:11:34] always demanding more resources. The executive also finds [00:11:37] itself under pressure from elected officials. After about ten days of disjointed [00:11:41] debate, deputies yesterday unanimously rejected the revenue part of the [00:11:44] state budget bill for 2027. [00:11:47] 458 deputies from all groups, including those supporting the [00:11:50] government, united against the text, which was nevertheless [00:11:53] profoundly reformed. Result: back to square [00:11:56] one. The Senate will have to consider the bill in its turn from [00:12:00] November 20, but in its initial [00:12:02] version. Let's head to the United States [00:12:05] where Democrats will probably continue to [00:12:09] celebrate their total victory in the midterms today. They swept [00:12:12] everything, majorities in the House and Senate, great victories also for governor positions, [00:12:16] assured of obtaining 54 seats in the upper [00:12:19] house, Democrats are still waiting today for results in Alaska and [00:12:23] Mississippi. On the Republican side, some have [00:12:27] started to pressure Donald Trump, urging him to reshuffle his [00:12:30] administration and change his policy strategy. The [00:12:33] defeat is particularly difficult for Jivens to digest, associated with a president at the end of his [00:12:37] term, he who was considered the favorite for the Republican nomination, he [00:12:41] tries to distance himself from the president, attributing [00:12:44] this electoral disaster, like him, to the war in Iran. Listen to Donald [00:12:48] Trump. [00:12:54] If I had... a candidate would have won, you saw the number of [00:12:57] people, thousands and thousands of people present at each meeting, if [00:13:01] I had been a candidate, they would have won, but we couldn't [00:13:05] transfer their love, they had so much during the meetings, it was [00:13:08] incredible, we couldn't transfer that love to the [00:13:11] candidate. [00:13:13] That's the latest statement from Donald Trump, after such a [00:13:17] result, there are clearly also already expectations being expressed internally, [00:13:21] of course, but also abroad, as evidenced by this very latest [00:13:24] reaction this morning from Volodymyr Zelensky. Anne [00:13:27] Corpe, hello, we're going to [00:13:30] said he hoped for more American support for Ukraine [00:13:33] following these results, will it be [00:13:37] possible? Well, the American president [00:13:40] is still in charge of foreign policy, but Congress, which holds the [00:13:44] purse strings, could negotiate in exchange for [00:13:47] concessions to Donald Trump, the return of military [00:13:50] aid to Kyiv or the lifting of [00:13:54] the return of sanctions on Russia that the White [00:13:57] House lifted, and [00:14:00] concerned about the mark he will leave in history, Donald [00:14:04] Trump might want to make progress on this Ukrainian conflict [00:14:07] that he had promised to resolve in [00:14:10] 48 hours. Melania Trump is also expected to [00:14:13] receive Russian and Ukrainian officials [00:14:16] at the White House today. This is not the first time the First Lady has [00:14:20] intervened to secure the [00:14:24] release of Ukrainian children abducted [00:14:26] by the Russians, and it was also she who [00:14:30] negotiated the truce that took place in the city [00:14:33] of Oleshky occupied by the Russians to allow [00:14:36] the evacuation of the population. Moreover, [00:14:39] Volodymyr Zelensky awarded her a [00:14:42] decoration yesterday for her personal contribution to [00:14:46] humanitarian aid. On the political front, there is a negotiation [00:14:50] session between Russians and [00:14:53] Ukrainians under the auspices of the Americans planned for next [00:14:56] week in Abu Dhabi. Such a three-way meeting [00:15:00] has not taken place since last February. [00:15:03] Volodymyr Zelensky said on X that he had [00:15:07] a long, detailed conversation [00:15:09] with the American emissaries [00:15:13] to prepare this meeting. Jared [00:15:16] Kushner on X said that he was working on [00:15:20] the architecture of a [00:15:24] necessary security after the [00:15:27] war to prevent it from resuming in the event of a [00:15:31] ceasefire. On the day after the [00:15:34] Democratic victory in Congress, Moscow [00:15:38] seems to continue to bank on Donald [00:15:41] Trump's benevolence towards [00:15:45] Russia. "We sincerely hope that he will continue [00:15:48] his efforts for peace," declared the [00:15:51] Kremlin spokesman, who does not seem to expect much from talks [00:15:55] with Volodymyr Zelensky, since the same [00:15:59] spokesman says he wants to wait for the emergence [00:16:02] of a new personality in [00:17:31] between energy and quiet strength, Bernard [00:17:34] Lavilliers has just celebrated his 80th birthday. [00:17:37] Gallant traveler, humanist, the artist releases [00:17:40] "Rid Cruel," his 24th album, as [00:17:44] always grappling with reality, from Ukraine [00:17:47] to Africa, Lavilliers fires his arrows through [00:17:51] social and political [00:18:01] Lavilliers, you've just celebrated your 80th spring, you [00:18:05] were born in 1946. It was post-war, [00:18:09] hope. 2026, how is [00:18:12] it? I still feel hope, but I'm [00:18:15] doing the big 8, for me at 80, it's the big 8, for me it's the big 8, [00:18:20] energy in Chinese medicine, yes, I still have the energy [00:18:24] to write, more than 50 years of career, almost [00:18:27] 60, always traveling, always with [00:18:30] your guitar, how would you define yourself as [00:18:34] an artist? Adventurer? [00:18:38] Artist ethnologist [00:18:41] sometimes because sometimes I learn music, most of the time when I use [00:18:45] music I learn it with the creators because [00:18:48] I don't want to use music as a decor so I would like to [00:18:51] know well where they come from, who plays them and for how long? [00:18:55] which is the case for all the music [00:18:59] I use, I am a [00:19:03] kind of tropical rock troubadour, I use a lot of [00:19:06] sounds. The sensual sounds of [00:19:09] percussion, all kinds of percussion, and I love [00:19:13] that, so if you like, I like the [00:19:16] rock drums, but I also like the swaying [00:19:19] side of tropical music which is [00:19:22] sensual, on which we can say formidable words, who [00:19:26] is the tough one, that's me, that's you, yeah, let's [00:19:59] democracies in danger, you who have [00:20:02] been a factory worker, son of a worker, socialist [00:20:05] militant, communist..." communist, anarchist [00:20:09] after, we'll get to that, from Saint-Étienne, you who have [00:20:12] spent your life crossing borders, singing about métissage, Bernard [00:20:16] Lavilliers, what is your view on the political [00:20:20] and social crisis that France is going through as the [00:20:23] presidential election approaches next year? It's a great logic, it's a [00:20:27] series of events with a kind of abandonment, they are [00:20:31] no longer even technocrats, it's the little marquises who have taken power, they have [00:20:34] taken anyway the goal... of a [00:20:37] president in a competition [00:20:40] that I mean in competition for elections [00:20:44] is still to win, so after he can promise whatever he wants, the [00:20:47] population doesn't give a damn. Another reality for me, I [00:20:51] think that knowing others of all colors gave me [00:20:55] the advantage of being able to decode [00:20:57] even my brothers and sisters here, because [00:21:01] what they lack, it's not worth reducing oneself to a community, it [00:21:04] becomes extremely strange to think all the same thing at the same [00:21:08] time, I prefer absolute diversity, [00:21:11] that is, the possibility of arguing because we don't agree, but did [00:21:14] you expect such a level of violence in French society? [00:21:18] It goes with [00:21:22] uh, how do you explain that, the contempt or [00:21:25] ignorance of letting conflicts or [00:21:28] demands simply fester for months. There's a certain end-of-marquis [00:21:32] side to it too, it's a bit over for the marquises, so I'm [00:21:36] talking about the marquises who are in power for now. I wrote a song called [00:21:40] "Beautiful Days," [00:21:42] "Beautiful Days," where I talk about how they are well [00:21:46] dressed, all out of their box, but they don't know [00:21:50] how to lead anything at all. [00:22:14] now tend to exasperate [00:22:17] me. What memory, what value do you [00:22:20] keep from your work at the factory, [00:22:23] the value of direct work, the fact [00:22:27] of being a good worker, that has followed me all the time, I [00:22:31] used it later when traveling, I sometimes continued to work as a turner [00:22:35] in foreign countries, so I think that the very [00:22:38] idea of starting to work at 16 in a [00:22:42] factory, you see retirement for me [00:22:45] is not for now, but in any case I [00:22:49] think that it gives a certain pride, [00:22:53] on the other hand, the army was out of the question, no, no, no, certainly [00:22:57] not, and no, no, no, [00:22:59] no, no, no, I didn't want to be in the army because no [00:23:03] god no master, no foreman, so there you go, I was like that at the time, and [00:23:07] I still am a bit, you still want to be neither god nor master, [00:23:10] isn't that a bit utopian today, that motto? Well, I [00:23:14] mean, so far [00:23:38] the war in Ukraine, you sing a lullaby for the children [00:23:41] of Europe, isn't Europe [00:23:44] alert enough? This is a poem in the face of these threats, in the face of the Russian [00:23:48] threat, it's a poem. from 46 by a [00:23:52] resistance fighter named Louis Couchois that I found [00:23:55] in a collection of resistance poets that [00:23:57] Segers editions sent me, I found this [00:24:01] poem, I set it to music because first of all, it's a woman who [00:24:04] talks to her child in the middle of a big world [00:24:08] war there for [00:24:12] once and I found it [00:24:15] particularly moving and the way it's written and the [00:24:19] way she talks, you see, stations without [00:24:22] travel and beaches without children, for me, that's [00:24:26] what war is, so the war, the war in Ukraine [00:24:30] resembles the war of 14-18 with [00:24:32] drones and machine-gun robots in [00:24:34] addition, go to the world without [00:24:38] wonders, for the mills, without grains of [00:24:41] wheat, sleep for the cellars without [00:24:44] bottles, sleep for the [00:24:46] adults, [00:24:49] who have... and then on this album you also take us [00:24:52] to Congo on swinging [00:24:55] rhythms in Kinshasa, you write, cobalt to [00:24:59] China, uranium, lithium, coltan, the inhabitants don't [00:25:03] see the color of it, what is your link with East Africa and [00:25:07] especially this region of Congo? This link with this [00:25:10] country, I had it before for music especially, when I went to [00:25:14] Brazzaville, we crossed the river at the time to go listen to the [00:25:17] musicians, in Kinshasa. who lived day and [00:25:20] night, a lot [00:25:24] music, sculptors, it's still there, and today [00:25:28] and well today it's the same, I quote Matongé for [00:25:31] example, there are also street theater groups and [00:25:35] formidable, there's meme, there are sculptors who sculpt [00:25:39] with pieces of scrap metal, I know one who is called Freddy [00:25:42] Timba who sculpts enormous things who was displaced from [00:25:46] the city center to go a little elsewhere, I admire a lot what he does. [00:25:50] finally I find that he has a kind of yeah [00:25:54] effervescence, a kind of [00:25:56] bubbling that inspires you, that's it, [00:26:00] an incredible energy in a... troubled [00:26:23] have traveled a lot, Bernard Lavillier, what is [00:26:26] precious in France that should be protected, [00:26:30] preserved, we should protect the... artists also [00:26:33] creation because [00:26:35] the [00:26:38] problem with industry is that it's not necessarily creative, so it's [00:26:41] possible [00:26:44] in any case I'm still a kind of activist in this field [00:26:47] because I think that what remains of countries is rather the [00:26:50] arts most of the time when you when you look over long [00:26:54] distances not many generals there are many more artists [00:26:57] than generals even if culture is very attacked right [00:27:00] now culture is always attacked by [00:27:03] hegemonies, by autocrats who want to [00:27:06] rewrite history in their own way, right, it's not the first time that this [00:27:10] has happened, your weapons are words as an artist, [00:27:13] music, both, where does this love for the French [00:27:16] language come from, for the languages of the world even, I would say, yes, so there are [00:27:20] in French but in other Latin languages a lot of words to [00:27:24] express oneself, what I think is less and less there, so [00:27:28] it becomes more punchline, [00:27:30] uh maybe because they read less, it's possible, but it's [00:27:34] a shame, so the fact of having a lot of possibilities of [00:27:38] colors to express oneself, it's it's a proof of freedom [00:27:41] right, necessarily when you are in front of a blank page [00:27:45] and that the words don't come to you or that you [00:27:49] don't find exactly the exact word that would sound on [00:27:52] this note because in addition when you do both the word must sound [00:27:56] tough, it sounds like word, it's a pretty [00:27:59] old word but I'm bringing it back into fashion because I think there's nothing better [00:28:03] to define someone [00:28:06] who can resist temptation [00:28:08] and this last album is clearly a [00:28:12] resistance album full of punchlines, thank [00:28:15] you very much Bernard Lavillier for your [00:28:18] time, you are going back on tour in France from January [00:28:22] 2027 with notably two dates at the Zénith of [00:30:29] Extreme violence has gripped this northwestern state.
