[00:00:14] They observe alert, they [00:00:18] testify, film, [00:00:20] photography, they are the voice of the [00:00:23] voiceless, they are your eyes around the [00:00:26] world, the observers. A network of [00:00:30] 5000 public and private citizens were called to strike. [00:00:34] What is the government's response? Political scientist Emmanuel Échivar is our [00:00:37] guest. Panic in the European sky, once again [00:00:41] this week, air traffic was disrupted by false bomb alerts, [00:00:45] a dozen this Thursday morning alone. Several flights had to be [00:00:49] diverted. And then Israeli President Isaac [00:00:53] since the absence of Herzog continues his consultations for the formation of a government, one week after the [00:00:57] legislative elections. It is the centrist Gady Eisencrot, [00:01:00] Benjamin Netanyahu's main rival, who holds the [00:01:40] The mobilization was generally peaceful, a new day of [00:01:43] demonstrations this Thursday in France against the high cost of living for [00:01:47] jobs and wages, high school students and university students who [00:01:50] have been denouncing their study conditions since mid-September came to swell [00:01:54] the ranks of private sector and public sector employees who were called to [00:01:58] stop work, Marie Schuster for France 24, the gathering, [00:02:02] Place de la Nation here [00:02:03] in [00:02:12] Paris. A demonstration which, apart from some sporadic skirmishes, took place [00:02:16] peacefully, there were however many, many people present [00:02:20] in this Parisian procession on Thursday to such an extent that the end of the [00:02:23] procession was blocked at Place de la République while the first demonstrators were already arriving [00:02:27] at Place de la Nation 3 km further. The slogan of this [00:02:30] gathering was indeed the convergence of struggles, within this procession, we met all [00:02:33] generations, all situations, teachers, caregivers, firefighters [00:02:37] who came to defend public services, but also private sector employees, retirees who came in [00:02:41] support of students who had also made the trip, all denouncing degraded [00:02:45] living and working conditions marked by staff shortages, they [00:02:48] demand wage increases and overall an [00:02:52] increase in purchasing power, economic demands that are combined with [00:02:55] protests against police violence and against racism, [00:02:59] particularly following the Trappes attack a few [00:03:02] days ago, and to talk about it, Emmanuel Échivard, good evening, you [00:03:06] are a political scientist, professor at Sciences Po Paris, thank you for being with us this [00:03:10] evening, uh we saw a fairly massive mobilization throughout [00:03:13] the hexagon, what does that show, it shows a convergence of struggles, [00:03:17] a convergence of anger also since that's what Marie Chuster said, there are [00:03:20] economic and social [00:03:23] demands, [00:03:26] yes, so it's a convergence of anger and it's a [00:03:30] convergence of politics, meaning I think [00:03:34] we have truly entered the presidential campaign, in [00:03:37] reality, uh I think that we [00:03:41] haven't finished seeing processions uh [00:03:44] and that it's not a small salary conference or [00:03:48] a few points, I don't know, added professors who [00:03:51] will, who will bring everyone in, in fact here [00:03:55] the presidential election is starting to be played, meaning that [00:03:58] for example, I have students and when I talk to them [00:04:01] in fact they talk to me about the presidential election, they talk to me [00:04:04] about who they don't want to see in power, who they are going to [00:04:07] vote for, you see, things have [00:04:10] to stop at for now the started and in fact there [00:04:12] the the the was no presidential campaign in 2022, well it's starting a little [00:04:14] earlier than usual and a little stronger, so you referred to [00:04:18] this social conference which will be [00:04:21] You are still on France 24, the rest of held at Matignon on Monday with Sébastien Lecornu, the unions and [00:04:25] the employers, and if I understand you correctly, this movement that has been going on for [00:04:28] more than 3 weeks now is going to [00:04:31] last, [00:04:34] it is going to last and transform itself. So social [00:04:38] movements, uh no one controls them, especially when they [00:04:42] start with young people, but uh uh [00:04:45] and when the unions are not in the front line, but [00:04:49] are first of all, uh following uh so [00:04:52] uh it seems to me that the demonstrators are not addressing the [00:04:56] government, meaning that people are intelligent, they have understood [00:05:00] that the government does not really have control, that we are at the end of the term of a [00:05:04] very weak government, a government that does not have a majority, and [00:05:07] so it is rather to those who will come, [00:05:11] that is to say to the campaign, that is to say to those who will have the [00:05:14] reins in 6 months that all this movement [00:05:18] is expressing itself, so I [00:05:21] I fear that the social conference on [00:05:24] Monday will be a way for the government to try to [00:05:27] respond but will not be able to achieve this kind [00:05:30] of objective, except that between now and 6 months, perhaps something [00:05:34] needs to be done. How can this government, which as you recalled, [00:05:37] has no majority, no budget either, [00:05:41] precisely because of this limited room for manoeuvre, [00:05:44] do something? As you said, the [00:05:48] promises made to high school students, which by the way did not convince, what is [00:05:52] next for these next six months? [00:05:55] Well, we have been in political crisis [00:05:59] since 2024, since [00:06:02] the failed dissolution, [00:06:05] the government's lack of majority, so we are in political [00:06:09] crisis, we are even perhaps in a regime crisis. [00:06:13] Because for example, we are not certain that the presidential election [00:06:16] will resolve things since there are legislative elections afterwards and we are not [00:06:20] even sure that the legislative elections will lead to a true majority, so we are in [00:06:23] political crisis and a regime crisis, so uh [00:06:27] unfortunately uh crises crises [00:06:30] they last, uh crises then they metamorphose, they transform, [00:06:34] we probably won't have every week uh 1 million [00:06:37] people in the streets uh [00:06:40] but we are entering a [00:06:43] situation, a rather formidable situation [00:06:47] indeed because there is something a bit tragic [00:06:50] uh everything converges to the absence of [00:06:53] solutions, so it's really a tragic situation in fact, everything converges to the absence of solutions, [00:06:57] there's no money, there's no majority, [00:06:59] there's life becoming more and more [00:07:03] expensive, there's a presidential election in 6 [00:07:05] months, so I keep trying, I keep trying [00:07:09] to examine what I would do if... prime [00:07:12] ministers, uh in fact, if you want [00:07:16] Emmanuel Macron should have resigned in [00:07:18] 2024 because he had no majority because [00:07:22] and and should have had a presidential election at that time, [00:07:26] since in fact we are in political crisis so there will be no satisfactory [00:07:29] solution, so we can pretend a little [00:07:32] uh we can have roundtables, we [00:07:36] can have Grenelles uh of [00:07:39] salary, we can have Grenelles of the high cost of living, uh but but [00:07:43] in fact there's no way to make real [00:07:46] decisions, especially if the [00:07:49] government, the executive in general, as you recalled, with this [00:07:52] presidential election approaching, makes [00:07:56] promises, it's not certain either that they will be kept afterwards by [00:08:00] its successors because these are measures that for the most part are not done in [00:08:03] a few days or a few weeks but in several [00:08:06] months, yes, so it is precisely [00:08:10] for this reason that uh we must realize that the [00:08:13] demonstrators are not talking to the government in fact, they are talking [00:08:17] to the various candidates, [00:08:20] they are talking to the political world in general, which party [00:08:23] do you think or in any case which political [00:08:27] trend could most benefit from, [00:08:30] profit from this social crisis, from [00:08:34] this large-scale [00:08:35] mobilization? [00:08:38] Well, for now, we see very clearly on one side the [00:08:41] party of the N.F., so it's the National Rally, and on the other [00:08:45] side, the only party that [00:08:48] has worked, and then there's youth especially, there's youth [00:08:52] C.G.T., so we see that, that's the two, then [00:08:55] after that there's what we call the central camp, but which currently [00:08:59] first of all between the conservative right of Retailleau [00:09:02] and then the the the [00:09:05] Macronism, the neo-Macronism of Attal, there's not much [00:09:09] connection, so it's missing a voice. [00:09:13] For now, we can't find it, a voice that is sufficiently [00:09:16] elevated to give everyone a global image and not [00:09:20] just, you see, [00:09:24] this central space stops at small [00:09:28] projects, so we talk about [00:09:31] security, immigration, there is no idea of what image we want for [00:09:35] France, we know on one side order, on the other [00:09:39] side we know a rather revolutionary form, in any case, of... [00:09:42] yes, of renewal of political institutions [00:09:45] for the central bloc, we have no ideas, [00:09:48] so will there be a personality who will [00:09:52] impose themselves, I heard on your set someone before who said that for [00:09:56] now they won't impose themselves and those who are there, the [00:10:00] candidates of the current central bloc are [00:10:03] not succeeding, are not making an impression, and will there be another way, [00:10:07] someone who will be ready to talk [00:10:09] about it, build a dialogue with the party and youth before [00:10:13] the presidential elections, uh well we'll have to wait and see, wait and see, but it's [00:10:17] quite fascinating, it's quite fascinating and [00:10:20] quite tragic, that's what I think [00:10:23] history is called, thank you very much. Emmanuel Échivard, political scientist, [00:10:26] professor at Sciences Po Rennes, sorry, thank you for answering our [00:10:30] questions tonight, from Italy to Finland, via France [00:10:33] or the Czech Republic, no less than a [00:10:36] dozen flights were disrupted this Thursday morning, this is the third [00:10:40] time in a week due to false bomb alerts, it is not known if [00:10:44] they are linked, the fact remains that some planes had to be [00:10:47] diverted, like the one connecting Dublin to Rome [00:10:50] (Mambougo) [00:10:54] the passengers of... This plane was supposed to land in Rome, [00:10:57] they are on the tarmac of the Evreux military base in the hour, [00:11:01] their aircraft was diverted this morning due to a bomb [00:11:05] alert. The plane is diverted to the nearest field that [00:11:09] can accommodate it, in this case, it must have been the Evreux field which is a military [00:11:12] field, once the plane is on the ground, demining [00:11:16] operators intervene. On board, there were [00:11:19] 151 passengers and six crew members. It is almost [00:11:23] 8am this morning when... their airliner, an A320 of the [00:11:27] Air Lingus company, took off from Dublin, heading for Rome, but after [00:11:31] an hour of flight, the aircraft changed trajectory, it was then [00:11:36] pilots, [00:11:39] air and space force thus took off to proceed with [00:11:43] the interception of this civil aircraft in the Paris sector, [00:11:46] then its internment to air base 105 in Evreux [00:11:49] Fauville, for now no information has been given on [00:11:53] the origin of the alert. This is not the only plane that was targeted this morning [00:11:57] by a bomb alert, there would be at least 11 others, and [00:12:00] last Tuesday already, Ryanair flights were subject to [00:12:03] threats, this is the case of this aircraft connecting Manchester to Murcia in Spain. [00:13:02] That was the weather with Group ama, a mutual insurer committed to [00:13:06] forest protection for almost 100 [00:13:08] years. [00:13:10] Group Group always there for me. [00:13:13] RFI and France 24 present all French [00:13:17] political life in Tuesday Politics, facing Rosine Fèvre [00:13:21] and Rivière, a personality answers live. [00:13:25] Now Tuesday Politics, your appointment with French [00:13:29] political news to listen to on RFI and watch on France [00:13:32] 24. [00:13:40] What is equal opportunities? At "Faites le Mur", [00:13:44] equal opportunities means offering everyone the same possibilities to achieve their potential [00:13:47] regardless of their origins. It means giving everyone [00:13:51] the same keys to success. Why should our birthplace dictate who we [00:13:55] are? Why should coming from a particular neighborhood influence our unwavering future? [00:13:58] We continue to train, to forge new bonds and savor every [00:14:02] moment. We have discovered a path to fulfillment, finding our place in [00:14:06] society, all thanks to sport. At "Faites le Mur", equal [00:14:09] opportunities is sport. [00:14:46] the essential with this question, who will be responsible [00:14:50] for forming a government in Israel? No majority emerged [00:14:54] from last week's legislative elections, and President Isaac [00:14:58] Herzog continues his consultations. The [00:15:00] centrist Gady Eisenkost seems to be in a strong position, [00:15:03] especially, Stéphanamar from Jerusalem, good evening, that Benjamin [00:15:07] Netanyahu was abandoned by a long-time [00:15:09] ally. [00:15:12] Yes, absolutely, the Orthodox [00:15:15] party Achenas, the Union for Judaism and Torah [00:15:19] which governs alongside Benjamin Netanyahu, who [00:15:22] participated in all his recent coalitions, announced that it would [00:15:26] support neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor Gady [00:15:30] Eisenkot, but of course, this is a handicap for the Israeli [00:15:33] Prime Minister because it further reduces the members.
