[00:00:00] is a budget that's geared towards growth, that's what they wanted to put forward,
[00:00:04] designed to reign in spending on things that do not
[00:00:08] Sonko, he didn't flee, he produce in order to get France's debt under control. now the last
[00:00:11] thing this government wants is Queen Ursla and the EU
[00:00:14] officially babysitting France because it's about to crater the rest of the
[00:00:18] euro zone's economy. because this objectively
[00:00:22] ridiculous socialist french system, one of the biggest public
[00:00:25] spenders on the planet, has basically by this point
[00:00:29] spent itself. into oblivion, and among
[00:00:32] the consequences is the creation of these
[00:00:35] enormous bureaucratic fifedums in the civil
[00:00:38] service, particularly in sectors like
[00:00:41] academia, and who do you think is running the
[00:00:44] public crash outs that we're seeing in the streets right now? it's
[00:00:48] these very same public sector unions that do
[00:00:52] this every single year at this time. last year they wrote the
[00:00:55] private sector unions into it as a strategy, this year they wrote the
[00:00:59] students. into it as a strategy to use as like
[00:01:02] bullwork a front for their movement. now this
[00:01:05] problem is that the they aren't exactly
[00:01:09] productive sectors. defense and related
[00:01:12] research by contrast can generate roughly
[00:01:16] uh euro of GDP for every euro of public money spent, which is
[00:01:19] why this seemingly endless threat of war with Russia is such boon for
[00:01:23] the French economy. it gives the government a convenient way to pry open the
[00:01:27] taxpayers wallets by keeping everyone sufficiently. terrified,
[00:01:31] but for everyone else, you could say that time's up and the
[00:01:35] party's over for all the sectors and there are lots of them
[00:01:39] in France that have gotten really accustomed to taking more out of the system than
[00:01:43] they put back in, which is a really difficult message to
[00:01:46] sell the folks whose complacency has been
[00:01:49] subsidized for decades with public cash, and that's the
[00:01:52] underlying problem that's finally coming home to roose here, because as
[00:01:56] Margaret thatcher once famously said, these guys... to
[00:02:00] paraphrase her, have run out of other people's money, and unless France
[00:02:04] can find a way to somehow generate more growth
[00:02:08] without just tossing more money at the problem, there's
[00:02:11] really no way out for them that makes any sense. they'd have to do something
[00:02:14] really radical, like for example, cut taxes
[00:02:18] to a flat 12 or 15%
[00:02:22] across the board, eliminate every single tax loophole that
[00:02:25] allows for breaks, kill every subsidy and benefit in favor of
[00:02:29] people paying. their own way for whatever they want rather than depending on the
[00:02:33] government for handouts, but that would require not
[00:02:36] just some
[00:02:39] Africa, the topic in leadership and vision, yeah, good luck
[00:02:43] topic of there,
[00:03:00] news updates at the top of the
[00:04:51] trade, and high ranking members of
[00:08:22] if for example today there's a
[00:08:24] pirogue that's in Boudoudi at the
[00:08:27] Boudoudi point that will leave
[00:08:30] tomorrow at 5am heading to
[00:08:33] Spain, what are you going to do? What are you going to
[00:08:36] do? Married, if
[00:08:39] it were me, yes, I would leave.
[00:08:44] You, if it were you, go ahead and argue. Yes, because
[00:08:47] nothing is easy in life.
[00:08:51] Nothing is easy in life. Yes, he who tries nothing will get nothing
[00:08:54] in life. You'll always be there saying I'll wait, I'll wait,
[00:08:58] my parents didn't have the means to
[00:09:01] pay for a plane ticket, I don't have the
[00:09:04] means to get a scholarship abroad, hm hm. My
[00:09:08] sisters have been stuck since first grade, I'm going to
[00:09:11] go. I have a plan, it's very clear. I'm going to prepare myself from here
[00:09:15] psychologically, because I'm going there illegally. Everything I'll
[00:09:19] find there, I'll endure and know that I'm the one who
[00:09:22] decided to go, so everything I'll face, I'll endure in order to
[00:09:26] find what I want. Very
[00:09:29] good.
[00:09:32] For me, in my case, as the eldest of my family, instead
[00:09:36] of leaving and being in uncertainty, I prefer to stay here and be
[00:09:39] content with the little I have with my family. Yes,
[00:09:43] deep down, if it were me, I would go without my
[00:09:47] parents knowing, because if, if, if they knew,
[00:09:50] they would stop me from going because most of my parents, if I tell them
[00:09:54] I'm going somewhere, they're already upset with me. Now, if
[00:09:58] it's, I'm going to leave, but telling my
[00:10:01] friends that tomorrow I can leave. So once
[00:10:05] I arrive in Europe, it will be good news
[00:10:08] for my parents, but if once I also perish
[00:10:13] it will be bad news for
[00:10:16] Yes, I say that if it were me, I wouldn't
[00:10:20] leave because, first of all, I know that my mother wouldn't
[00:10:23] let me go. Hm hm. I'd prefer to take the legal route,
[00:10:27] go there with complete
[00:10:30] papers, like my father did, okay?
[00:10:34] Here in front of me, I've heard many of my classmates
[00:10:37] say that they're going to leave, but
[00:10:40] even if you leave, what, what will prove to you that
[00:10:44] once you arrive there, you'll have
[00:10:47] a stable life? Because even there, there are poor people.
[00:10:51] There are people who were born there but don't have a roof over their heads.
[00:10:55] If it were me, I would stay. Okay,
[00:10:57] fine. As women, are you
[00:11:01] afraid to travel for all
[00:11:04] these reasons? The fear of being raped, the fear
[00:11:08] of being assaulted, the fear of losing your life. Are you afraid, or will you
[00:11:12] still risk it to uh
[00:11:14] cross?
[00:11:19] Yes, let's tell the truth, uh, men can
[00:11:23] travel without necessarily having all these risks, uh, whereas
[00:11:26] if we travel, there will be risks of being raped,
[00:11:30] of being pregnant, uh, then of being uh completely
[00:11:33] destabilized. Whereas if men
[00:11:36] travel, yes, they are in good conditions, they won't have to be
[00:11:40] raped, they won't have to uh to have
[00:11:44] all that, uh. So, as a woman, I will
[00:11:47] travel, I will be respected, I won't be touched until I
[00:11:50] arrive, uh, because I'll have something to defend myself with
[00:11:54] anyway.
[00:17:07] is by rushing them the capabilities that they need to defend their
[00:17:10] country,
[00:17:14] everyone knows very well that we don't sell bananas, pineapples or any kind of
[00:17:17] children's toys, we sell weapons, yes we're also known in
[00:17:21] the world as arms dealers, but we must not be ashamed of that.
[00:18:11] we're going to talk about a current
[00:18:17] West, the whole world, it's the
[00:18:21] immigration.
[00:18:23] What do you think? Are you for immigration or are you against
[00:18:27] immigration? Now, you argue, you give your arguments.
[00:18:30] Married, I am for immigration
[00:18:34] for some good reasons. First of all...
[00:18:38] the depths of this country, Senegal, in
[00:18:42] some families, there's not enough food, drinking
[00:18:45] water, these are huge problems, electricity,
[00:18:48] let's not even talk about it. You see a minister, a single
[00:18:52] minister who will hold seven positions, and in these seven
[00:18:55] positions, he will tell you I invested so many millions
[00:18:59] for health. This health, you see the hospital, these are
[00:19:02] problems.
[00:19:04] You were told in education, you come to school, certainly... my students
[00:19:08] haven't paid for their education yet because of
[00:19:11] family situations and the state must take these social cases, these are
[00:19:15] problems. You are told it invested that to
[00:19:19] make public goods, investigations
[00:19:22] that you don't even see. You are aware of the risks you can encounter
[00:19:26] at sea, you are aware of the risks you can encounter everywhere you
[00:19:30] go illegally, but here you say, create, if you
[00:19:34] die, you're buried and the dreams you had in... using
[00:19:38] the things you imagined doing, the things greater than you
[00:19:42] imagined doing, after that it's messed up. And if you also mentioned
[00:19:45] the account of African countries,
[00:19:48] there, we identified that
[00:19:52] racism is more frequent in the West
[00:19:55] than in Africa. We young Africans recognize ourselves thanks to our
[00:19:59] black skin, because the true African, the true African citizen, does
[00:20:03] not flee. We are not fleeing, we are doing...
[00:20:07] the quest for happiness, the quest for research. Listen carefully to what I
[00:20:11] have to tell you. Here in Senegal, the
[00:20:14] governors, the prefects, the
[00:20:16] sub-prefects, the president, the
[00:20:19] ministers and the deputies who are with him are
[00:20:23] the richest in the country, whereas when they started, they didn't even have 8
[00:20:26] billion in their account, they had a minimum, I would say a maximum
[00:20:30] of 5 to 6 million. Now you see a minister's son,
[00:20:33] he already has a bank account with
[00:20:37] millions. His own car that takes him to
[00:20:39] school, and yet his father, you were in the same neighborhood and you say
[00:20:43] that the governors share positions and everything, but that's
[00:20:47] us who should change that because we are... students, tomorrow we will be
[00:20:51] great leaders, great leaders who will decide
[00:20:54] and look, let's take the case of Ousmane
[00:20:58] said I'll go all the way, he didn't leave his country even though he was
[00:21:01] asked to leave his country, but he said I'll go all the way with the
[00:21:05] other compatriots, these other compatriots. That's why today we
[00:21:09] are for the truth, we don't flee, they kill us here, we stay
[00:21:12] here because here is our soil, it's African soil, they bury us here, it's better
[00:21:16] to be buried somewhere where we are subjected to racism and we are
[00:21:50] like that here, the state has all the power and we
[00:21:54] are not the state, we are only spectators, we
[00:21:57] just watch. Wait, wait, but wait, wait,
[00:22:01] but the fact, but wait, but the fact of leaving, of leaving for Europe and you
[00:22:05] left problems here, huh? In 3
[00:22:08] to 5 years, you want to return here to your country with the
[00:22:12] situations you left here. How can you set up
[00:22:15] the things you want to achieve here in Africa by helping your own
[00:22:19] country?
[00:22:57] He who leaves for survival and he who believes that the
[00:23:01] life he loses is worth nothing, well, that one's strength is one because he's not
[00:23:05] afraid of death. But wait, but a person who is sure that when he leaves,
[00:23:08] he will bring something, you know you don't have proper papers,
[00:23:12] you have nothing and you you go with the guy, she
[00:23:16] said, while you're talking about this subject, no, she said, and you say that
[00:28:32] how are you?
[00:28:35] We are going to talk about a very important, very
[00:28:38] sensitive topic, and from that, I am going to
[00:28:42] ask you to define for me a
[00:28:45] word that is easy to define, but
[00:28:49] difficult to bear. It is about
[00:28:52] racism. And I am going to
[00:28:56] ask you if anyone can define for me what racism
[00:29:00] is. Who can define this word racism
[00:29:03] among you? There are even people here in
[00:29:07] Africa who are racist, they don't like to speak other languages apart
[00:29:11] from their mother tongue, they don't like to be in other ethnic groups apart
[00:29:15] from their own ethnicities. There are some white
[00:29:18] students who cover it because they say that black people are bad
[00:29:22] like that. And if it were me, I would repost
[00:29:25] by saying that I am proud of my skin as
[00:29:28] well as all kinds hm
[00:29:32] of charisma as well as my nature, you know,
[00:29:36] okay, my culture, my skin color, and so on, I
[00:29:40] will defend myself as F does
[00:29:42] so well. Frankly, I think
[00:29:45] that racism must stop, because we are no longer in colonial
[00:29:49] times, hm hm. They treat us like beasts,
[00:29:53] animals, as my comrades also said. I don't think
[00:29:56] racism should continue because
[00:30:30] against a torture house that was run by military are
[00:30:33] targeted by authorities, with some already detained and
[00:30:37] forced to apologize on
[00:30:39] camera.
[00:30:42] Distressing images as Ukraine's anti-corruption agents expose
[00:30:45] deep and lucrative ties between criminal
[00:30:48] organizations conducting kidnappings, beatings and drug
[00:30:54] the country's security services. Graphic
[00:30:57] footage of a savage attack by one such group.
