00:00:13Sunday, October 11, we return live to America, the news slot of the
00:00:17morning on France 24, I am María Angulu and these are the headlines of
00:00:20the main news of the day.
00:00:24Donald Trump said this Sunday that Russia and Ukraine agreed to an immediate
00:00:28energy ceasefire. Ukrainian President
00:00:31Voladimir Zelenski said that, despite not having been
00:00:35warned, he would apply the agreement if Russia also
00:00:38respected it. We have analysis.
00:00:42New projectile attack against the Riyadh airport, Saudi
00:00:46Arabia reported the event after the threats launched this Sunday by
00:00:49the Uties rebels of Yemen against the country's airspace. One
00:00:53day after the attack in the same place, which left 12
00:00:57dead and 300 injured.
00:01:00In India, the leaders of the cockroach party who had been arrested
00:01:04on Saturday after landing in New Delhi to participate in a
00:01:08protest were released under conditions. The youth
00:01:11movement calls for the resignation of the head of the Electoral Commission and the
00:01:15modification of the voter registry.
00:01:30We begin with the announcement made this Sunday by US President
00:01:34Donald Trump, who assured that Russia and Ukraine agreed to an
00:01:37immediate energy ceasefire, as stated by the US
00:01:41president, after the response of the Ukrainian president, who hours
00:01:44earlier had indicated that for the attacks
00:01:48against Russian refineries to cease, reciprocity
00:01:51from Moscow is required. Volodymyr
00:01:54Zelenski indicated that he was not
00:01:56and verification of the safety of consulted by Donald Trump, but that he would respect the measure if
00:01:59Russia also did so. So far, the Kremlin has not confirmed the
00:02:03agreement. We expand on the details in the following report by William
00:02:06Casó. These are ill-received
00:02:10statements in Kyiv. On Saturday, Donald Trump called for a
00:02:13change of president in Ukraine, but the inhabitants of
00:02:16the Ukrainian capital will line up behind their president Volodymyr
00:02:20Zelenski. We endure. The problem is not
00:02:24our president. The problem is the president who has caused this war against
00:02:28us, let him be replaced. Rather, to
00:02:32put it mildly, it is not only an unfortunate statement,
00:02:35but a betrayal, it is a betrayal by our ally. On
00:02:39Saturday, Donald Trump also criticized Kyiv's attacks against
00:02:43refineries, accusing them of fueling the rise
00:02:46in gasoline prices, this the day after reaching an
00:02:50agreement with Moscow for the purchase of Russian diesel, something that
00:02:54annoys the Ukrainian president who defended a principle of
00:02:57reciprocity to cease this type of. The
00:03:01real cause of the war in Europe is Russia and only Russia, it is possible
00:03:04to stop the attacks against the energy infrastructure starting today, but
00:03:08Putin does not want to do so. Ukraine will be willing to stop attacking Russian
00:03:11oil refineries if Russia stops attacking our energy
00:03:15infrastructure. Hours later, Donald Trump stated that
00:03:19Russia and Ukraine would have agreed to an energy ceasefire,
00:03:22but Zelenski replied that he was not warned beforehand,
00:03:26but in recent months the reciprocal attacks against
00:03:29the... energy infrastructure have multiplied, attacks that
00:03:33also target civilian populations. On the night of
00:03:37the Egyptian city of El Alamein Saturday, new Russian bombings left dozens injured in
00:03:40the city of Dnipro, in the east of the country and reached
00:03:44industrial facilities in
00:03:46new possibilities of prosperity in Bucha near Kyiv. To
00:03:48analyze this issue previously we spoke with the international
00:03:52analyst and president of the Institute of National and Global Security of
00:03:55Kyiv, Mark Beuger, who doubts the announcement, who
00:03:59doubts that Donald Trump's announcement is credible and respected on
00:04:03the ground, it seems to me that in this case Trump
00:04:06is
00:04:09issue that began with this presenting what he wants to make a
00:04:12real situation and as we know
00:04:15always such
00:04:18announcements by Trump
00:04:21finally in a very
00:04:25short time change and
00:04:28produce nothing concrete and
00:04:31I have well I am
00:04:34worried that I am sure that in this
00:04:38case it would be the same situation
00:04:42ah it also seems to me that it is a scheme that
00:04:46the Russians and Trump have announced
00:04:49is more or less a
00:04:53scheme to trap
00:04:55Zelenski because Putin and Russia
00:04:58have a very serious problem with Ukrainian attacks against
00:05:02oil companies because
00:05:06the backbone of Russia, of the Russian economy
00:05:09is oil, as everyone knows. and
00:05:12that is what pays for the expenses for this war
00:05:16of aggression against Ukraine, so for Putin, for the
00:05:19Kremlin it is super important to stop
00:05:22these attacks and they, the Russians
00:05:25and Putin use Trump's desire
00:05:28to lower diesel prices,
00:05:32especially diesel, for
00:05:36Americans, so it is a vicious triangle in my
00:05:40opinion. Both parties,
00:05:43Russia and the United States,
00:05:47unfortunately put pressure on
00:05:49Zelenski and finally can
00:05:53put the blame on
00:05:56Ukraine and Zelenski personally.
00:05:58We continue in the Middle East with the new projectile attack registered
00:06:02this Sunday against Riyadh airport. Saudi
00:06:06Arabian authorities reported the event after the threats launched by the
00:06:09Houthi rebels of Yemen against the country's airspace, one day
00:06:13after the attack against the same air center that left 12 dead and
00:06:17300 injured, and which is already considered the deadliest
00:06:20against the kingdom registered since 2014. This Sunday
00:06:24the Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack on Saturday and several Western
00:06:27embassies have recommended their personnel to avoid approaching
00:06:31Riyadh airport for a week.
00:06:34ambulances in front of Riyadh
00:06:36airport and disoriented passengers. These are
00:06:39the scarce images coming from
00:06:43Saudi Arabia after the deadly attack that hit
00:06:47the capital's airport on Saturday, witnesses describe
00:06:50scenes of chaos with dead and hundreds of
00:06:52injured. The General Civil Aviation Authority has
00:06:56indicated that the attack has left several injured whose condition is being
00:06:59evaluated. It has specified that airport operations have been
00:07:03temporarily suspended pending a full evaluation of the damage
00:07:09the facilities.
00:07:12to Riyadh have been diverted or canceled.
00:07:16Later that same night, authorities reported the
00:07:19fall of a projectile near another airport, Dammam,
00:07:23in the east of the country. These attacks, which have not been
00:07:27claimed, are attributed to the Houthi rebels of Yemen, who
00:07:30oppose the Yemeni government forces
00:07:33supported by Saudi Arabia. And this Sunday, the Houthis launched
00:07:37new threats against Saudi airspace airports
00:07:41in September they began a lightning offensive
00:07:45reinforcing their control over the strategic Strait of Bab
00:07:48al-Mandeb. In recent days attacks against Riyadh have
00:07:52intensified. The capital's airport has already been targeted by two
00:07:56attacks this week, leaving several people dead and
00:07:59injured. To combat the Houthis, Saudi Arabia has been
00:08:02trying for weeks to obtain military aid from its American
00:08:05ally, without success. These attacks occur
00:08:09shortly before an annual investment conference is held
00:08:12in the kingdom in October that attracts
00:08:15visitors from all over the world.
00:08:18And off the coast of Djibouti on the shores of the Strait of Bab
00:08:22al-Mandeb, at least 139 migrants, including 15
00:08:26children, died and another 84 remain missing,
00:08:30this after the shipwreck of a vessel carrying 305
00:08:34people, according to what was reported this Sunday by the International
00:08:37Organization for Migration (IOM). The event is described
00:08:41as the deadliest shipwreck recorded in the area. The
00:08:44vessel was going from Djibouti to Yemen when it suffered a
00:08:48shipwreck during the night of October 8 to 9. More
00:08:51than 80 people survived the event and all came from
00:08:55Ethiopia. Despite the ongoing war in Yemen, African
00:08:58migrants continue to try to reach the Persian
00:09:02Gulf countries. Every year, tens of thousands of migrants
00:09:06from the Horn of Africa pass through Djibouti and cross the Strait of
00:09:09Bab al-Mandeb towards Yemen, with the hope of reaching the Gulf countries
00:09:13in search of security, stability and employment.
00:09:17Poverty, insecurity and the growing effects of climate
00:09:20change drive many to undertake this journey,
00:09:24despite the growing instability throughout the Middle
00:09:27East. In Israel, Prime Minister and candidate
00:09:31for re-election Benjamin Netanyahu returned this Sunday to a
00:09:34Jerusalem court, which judges him for cases of alleged
00:09:38corruption. The former attorney general testified this
00:09:41Sunday before the court that the police took some measures against Netan
00:09:45Yahu without his authorization, although
00:09:47he approved the main actions, the accusation of the
00:09:51former prosecutor, who declared himself a witness in the defense of the prime
00:09:54minister, came weeks before the general elections in the country and
00:09:58increases tensions ahead of the
00:10:00elections.
00:10:03And now we go to India where a local court released on bail
00:10:07the three main leaders of the so-called
00:10:10cockroach party. This is after remaining 24 hours
00:10:14detained in New Delhi before a protest against the
00:10:17country's Electoral Commission. The release of the
00:10:20party leadership occurred on the condition of not committing any act that,
00:10:24according to the police, would disturb public order, this
00:10:28for a period of one year. The three activists had been arrested
00:10:32by the authorities on Saturday aboard a plane, after having
00:10:36landed at the capital's airport.
00:10:39This
00:10:43shows how much the government fears the youth movement, that people are
00:10:46asking questions, seeking accountability, seeking
00:10:49answers about their lost future. If citizens' voting rights are
00:10:53taken away, how will anything change? If the system has to be better, if a
00:10:57broken and corrupt system has to be better, the only democratic
00:11:00tool that exists in our democracy is the right to
00:11:03vote.
00:11:07We change the subject because Pope Leo XIV announced that he will undergo
00:11:11surgery to remove a nodule detected in a
00:11:14lung, which, according to the supreme pontiff, was detected at an
00:11:18early stage. The highest hierarch of the Catholic Church announced
00:11:22the information at the end of the Angelus prayer from the
00:11:25Holy See, it is expected that the Pope will begin his tour of Latin America on
00:11:29November 6 in a tour that will take him through Uruguay,
00:11:33Argentina and Peru and that will extend until November
00:11:3617.
00:11:42Recently, during medical examinations, doctors detected a
00:11:46nodule located in my
00:11:47lung.
00:11:51It was detected at a very early stage and is well controlled.
00:11:56The doctors consider that it is advisable to intervene, so following
00:12:00their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to
00:12:03remove it.
00:12:05The operation is already scheduled for the coming days, I thank you for your
00:12:09spiritual support and I commend myself to your prayers, thank you and
00:12:13have a good Sunday.
00:12:16In Ceuta, the Spanish police dismantled this Sunday the migrant camp that
00:12:19remained located in the esplanade of the old Guano Factory, considered
00:12:22the last of the large settlements established in the
00:12:26city after the arrival of more than
00:12:3070,000 migrants from
00:12:32Morocco, on July 30 and 31, an event that
00:12:35triggered a political crisis in Madrid as well as diplomatic
00:12:39tensions in the European Union. The police
00:12:42operation occurred just two days before the arrival of King
00:12:46Felipe VI and Queen Leticia to Ceuta
00:12:49territory.
00:12:52We continue with the report on Hurricane Simon. It is approaching the central
00:12:56western coast of Mexico. As a preventive measure, Mexican
00:13:00authorities suspended activities considered non-essential in
00:13:03several municipalities in the state of Jalisco, where the phenomenon
00:13:06is expected to make landfall near noon this Sunday
00:13:10as a Category 4 hurricane. On Saturday
00:13:14night, Simon reached maximum sustained winds of 250
00:13:18km/h. On Saturday, authorities
00:13:21evacuated a hundred people from coastal towns.
00:13:25Yes, we are like this with the uncertainty that it might
00:13:28arrive even stronger than it was in the
00:13:31morning and well, yes, we are somewhat worried,
00:13:35worried here we are guarding our businesses, which is the source
00:13:39of work for us and for other families,
00:13:41and we close with the colorful Aurora Borealis that
00:13:45illuminated the sky of the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland
00:13:48during Sunday night, the phenomenon was
00:13:52captured by a local photographer who stated that the spectacle was the most
00:13:56intense since a similar geomagnetic storm
00:13:59registered in January 2026, in recent
00:14:02hours auroras were also sighted in Italy, in
00:14:05Corsica and in Ukraine, where the sky remained illuminated for
00:14:09several minutes. We leave you with these images, we
00:14:13wish you a happy Sunday to all, thank you for
00:14:16joining us.
00:14:25reports, interviews and analysis of the most important events
00:14:29on the continent, its religious and cultural diversity and its
00:14:32dynamic political, economic and social reality, its
00:14:36conflicts and its solutions, all with the analyses and
00:14:39testimonies of France 24 correspondents,
00:14:42this is how it is, presented by Paula
00:14:45Jiménez Correa, on France 24 and France
00:14:4824.com,
00:14:53hello, welcome to Africa Seven Days. is France 24's weekly program on
00:14:57current events on the African continent, I am Andrés Mesa Muñoz, here are the
00:15:00headlines:
00:15:04a refinery for all Africans, the richest man on the
00:15:08continent, Alico Dangote, took the first step towards the construction of a
00:15:12plant in Kenya destined to provide self-sufficiency to the continent in
00:15:15terms of fuels and save foreign currency used to import
00:15:19refined products.
00:15:23In Ethiopia, the regular army struck a significant blow to the Tigray
00:15:26People's Liberation Front in terms of territory, the military
00:15:30managed to capture the airport of Mekele, the capital of the Tigray
00:15:34region, epicenter of the conflict between both parties that... had
00:15:37a new outbreak several weeks ago and
00:15:41in the arid heart of the Sahel, Burkina Faso is turning pineapple into
00:15:45a symbol of sovereignty. The government of the Military Junta promotes
00:15:49the work of pineapple growers as part of a
00:15:52strategy to boost food self-sufficiency in
00:15:55a region hit by
00:15:57insecurity.
00:16:00We will start in Kenya where Africa's richest man, Alico Dangote, broke ground
00:16:04on the construction of the largest refinery in East Africa. The ceremony
00:16:08was attended by the Kenyan president, the Ugandan president and the Ethiopian
00:16:11Prime Minister. The $16 billion
00:16:15project will have a capacity of 700,000 barrels
00:16:18daily, a similar version to that of Nigeria and which
00:16:22also surpasses existing plants in Europe. It is also
00:16:25considered a vital step for Africa to reduce its dependence on refined
00:16:29fuel imports and also save the foreign currency used
00:16:33for this.
00:16:39This is Africa uniting to build
00:16:40Africa.
00:16:43Today we are not just starting the construction of a refinery, we are
00:16:47beginning a new chapter in the continent's industrial path towards a
00:16:50more promising
00:16:51future.
00:16:58For too long, much of the fuel that drives our
00:17:01economies was refined elsewhere.
00:17:02This leaves us exposed to fluctuations in
00:17:07global markets, as our cities grow and our industries
00:17:11expand, the demand for fuel continues to increase.
00:17:15Ladies and gentlemen, this is more
00:17:23than just a refinery, it is an investment in energy security,
00:17:26industrialization and regional integration.
00:17:30Above all, it is a statement that
00:17:35Africa has entered a new era in which we will finance,
00:17:39build, process and add value increasingly
00:17:42here at home.
00:17:44We now turn to Ethiopia, where the
00:17:49government forces and their allied militias made rapid advances in the
00:17:53north of the country since the clashes against the rebels of the
00:17:57Tigray People's Liberation Front erupted on September
00:18:0023. The government announced that it had retaken the regional capital
00:18:04Mekele, while leaders from Egypt, Eritrea and Sudan
00:18:07met in the Egyptian city of Alamein to
00:18:11discuss the conflict in which Ethiopia accuses these countries of supporting the rebel
00:18:15leaders. The details in the following report by Maxim
00:18:18Plubine. The war resumes in northern
00:18:21Ethiopia. The Ethiopian army and its allied militias
00:18:25wrested the capital of the Tigray region, Mekele, from the Tigrayan
00:18:28rebels. After the Tigray People's Liberation Front,
00:18:32which is fighting the government forces of Addis Ababa,
00:18:35announced its withdrawal,
00:18:38given that the fighting was approaching Mekele and taking into account the
00:18:41indiscriminate bombings that this genocidal regime can inflict
00:18:45on our population in our city, it has been decided that the
00:18:48Tigray government will temporarily move out of Mekele to
00:18:52operate from another location. The capture of
00:18:55Mekele raises fears of the outbreak of a new and devastating war in
00:18:59Tigray, after the conflict of 2020-2022, in which
00:19:02at least 600,000 people died according to the African
00:19:06Union. The presidents of Egypt, Somalia, Sudan and Eritrea, all
00:19:10with difficult relations with Ethiopia, met on Sunday in
00:19:15to discuss the conflict.
00:19:18Eritrea, with the support of Egypt and Sudan, to protect the rebel
00:19:25leaders, accusations that the three countries deny.
00:19:29Ethiopia at this moment has nothing
00:19:37to do with us, it is a domestic crisis and they must take care of their
00:19:41own problems, as for us, it is a long-standing
00:19:46unilateral action in 2011, the construction of this dam without
00:19:50consulting the downstream countries, that is, Sudan and
00:19:53Egypt, this is an important issue and we cannot compromise our
00:19:57security.
00:19:59Asmara accuses Ethiopia, which has
00:20:02no access to the sea, of planning an invasion to gain access to the
00:20:06coast and Eritrea. French-Rwandan
00:20:10activist Dafrosa Gotier died in the French city of Ranz at the
00:20:13age of 72 after an intense battle with cancer. Gotier and
00:20:17her husband Allen dedicated almost 30 years to locating those responsible
00:20:20for the genocide against the Tutsis in Rwanda to bring them to
00:20:24justice. Below, a review of her life and her
00:20:28struggles. Known by many as the Rwandan genocide
00:20:31hunter, Dafrosa Gotier dedicated half of her life to tirelessly investigating
00:20:35the 1994 genocide against the
00:20:38Tutsis, after dying at the age of 72 after a long battle
00:20:41with cancer, this French-Rwandan activist is remembered for having
00:20:45demanded accountability from those responsible for the mass
00:20:49killings.
00:20:50We have been waiting many years, the
00:20:53genocide against the Tutsis took place more than 27 years ago, it is time to
00:20:56ensure that justice is done, it is important that justice be
00:21:00done. Gotier was born in 1954 in
00:21:02southern Rwanda, into a family of Tutsi farmers. From
00:21:06a very young age she was exposed to ethnic violence, witnessing the
00:21:10beheading of her teacher in 1960. In
00:21:131973 she was sent to neighboring Burundi and later to
00:21:16France to escape the constant threats. The violence
00:21:20intensified into a full-blown genocide against the
00:21:23Tutsis in 1994, more than 800,000 people were
00:21:27killed between April and June. Dafrosa Gotutier lost almost
00:21:30all her family, including her mother and about 80 other
00:21:34relatives.
00:21:35I have absolutely no one left in Rwanda,
00:21:38it's the apocalypse, it's the end of a life, of a specific part of my life,
00:21:42for me, to be honest, I have absolutely no one left in
00:21:46Rwanda. Together with her husband Alan. Gotier was committed to
00:21:49bringing those responsible for the genocide to justice, together
00:21:53they founded the Collective of Civil Parties for Rwanda in
00:21:562001. When Belgium
00:21:59convicted four perpetrators of genocide, we went home and asked
00:22:03ourselves, what are we waiting
00:22:06for to act?
00:22:09When the couple had free time at work and later after their retirement,
00:22:13they traveled to Rwanda to interview survivors, prisoners and
00:22:16those who had participated in the killings and submitted their findings to
00:22:20French justice. These investigations led to a series of trials in
00:22:23France that culminated in the conviction of seven men for the crimes committed
00:22:27during the Rwandan genocide. Behind each case is the legacy
00:22:31of Dafrosagotier. In other news, the United Nations launched a
00:22:35warning about the consequences that the El Niño phenomenon could bring for
00:22:38Mozambique, a country that the UN has already said in the past
00:22:42is on the front line of global warming victims. Added to this is
00:22:45the passage of cyclones Idai and Kenneth, among the most devastating that
00:22:49this country suffered and that marked a historical milestone by being the first time that two
00:22:53phenomena of this type hit the territory in the same

00:23:00Mozambique is among the most vulnerable countries to climate change
00:23:04on the planet, despite having contributed very little to
00:23:07it.
00:23:09And for the coming months in the context of the 2026
00:23:13Super El Niño, prolonged droughts, cyclones and
00:23:16floods are expected.
00:23:20In South Africa, indignation is growing among citizens who are asking the government to
00:23:23take measures to curb a strong wave of gender-based violence and
00:23:27femicides, this after a series of murders of women that were
00:23:31registered on the outskirts of the city of Johannesburg and that increased concern
00:23:34about macho violence in a country that has one of the highest
00:23:38homicide rates in the world. The president of Cyril Ramaphosa referred to the
00:23:42public discontent and condemned the
00:23:44murders.
00:23:49The violence.
00:24:24and we close in Burkina Faso where the authorities of the military junta promote
00:24:27the cultivation of a fruit that is unusual in the country, the
00:24:30pineapple. For the government of this African country, the fruit symbolizes
00:24:36the Sahel region, hit by poverty and security problems.
00:24:40It is also part of the country's effort to consolidate its food
00:24:43sovereignty. More details with William
00:24:45Gasso.
00:24:50in Burkina Faso long green leaves
00:24:53sprout, pineapples, unusual fruits in the
00:24:56Sahel, but they have become a viable option
00:24:59in the West African country. Each cultivator
00:25:02ensures that the crop is kept moist. For decades,
00:25:06farmers in the area were limited in their crops
00:25:09due to the aridity of the climate, until they realized that fruits
00:25:13like pineapple could
00:25:15grow.
00:25:21When we saw what Mr. Umaru was doing, we knew it was
00:25:24feasible, I participated in the training because in addition to theory
00:25:27we also did practical work, that allowed me to understand many things,
00:25:31it's a reality, pineapples grow in Burkina Faso.
00:25:45Security generated by jihadist groups, there pineapple
00:25:48has become the symbol. A Sahel that can
00:25:51become green again, this crop is part of a development plan
00:25:54promoted by the Burkinabe leader Ibrahim Traore himself,
00:25:58for the military it is a matter of food sovereignty.
00:26:10local products is to change the mentality, we have always thought through
00:26:13advertising, communication on television and all that, that what comes from
00:26:17outside is better than what comes from
00:26:18here.
00:26:21In Burkina Faso, growing local products at a lower price
00:26:25also responds to an economic need. More than
00:26:2840% of the population lives below the poverty
00:26:31line, wishing for less than $3 a day according to the
00:26:35World Bank, that's all for this chapter of Africa 7 days,
00:26:38thank you for joining us.
00:27:14Food is a Palestinian culture and this
00:27:17is how I want to convert my
00:27:21culture and our food into
00:27:25Palestinian dishes.
