00:00:07back in the late edition, thank you for joining us on France 24 and
00:00:11France Info. Here are the headlines of the newspaper:
00:00:14Ukraine says it lacks anti-aircraft defense to fight against Russian ballistic
00:00:18missiles. Volodymyr Zelensky points the finger at the Middle
00:00:21East wars, you will hear him. We will update you on the latest
00:00:24attacks. In Germany, a drone with an explosive device
00:00:28was discovered at an airport. It operated not far from a Ukrainian plane. This is an unprecedented
00:00:32hybrid attack scenario that worries the Germans. Another drone
00:00:36damaged a
00:00:39I see it in children of plane. Iran says it has agreed with Oman on a
00:00:42new shipping lane in the Strait of Hormuz, but this will also
00:00:45depend on Washington's
00:00:48the southwest of actions, Tehran threatens.
00:01:02Last night was particularly deadly in
00:01:05Kyiv with 17 dead, strikes that destroyed logistical
00:01:08sites and warehouses. The anti-aircraft defense was able to shoot down
00:01:12the hundred drones launched by the Russians, but not the thirty
00:01:16ballistic missiles that struck and caused fires.
00:01:19The Ukrainian army lacks defensive weapons, deplores
00:01:22Volodymyr Zelensky. Details with Alice
00:01:25Broga.
00:01:28After more than 20 hours of searching, Ukrainian rescuers
00:01:31extract a lifeless body from the rubble. A civilian killed
00:01:35in a Russian strike that occurred the day before on this building in
00:01:38Kramatorsk. Faced with the multiplication of Russian attacks, the
00:01:42authorities of this city in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine
00:01:46ordered on Wednesday evening the evacuation of about 500
00:01:49children and their families who still lived in the city. In the
00:01:53Kyiv region too, attacks are increasingly numerous and
00:01:56deadly. Along this railway, the chemicals.
00:02:20asked the Ministry of
00:02:30And then I saw people covered in blood running in the street.
00:02:34According to the Ukrainian army, Russia fired 115 long-range
00:02:38drones and 28 missiles on Tuesday night to
00:02:41Wednesday, but only 98 drones could be neutralized. Ukrainian anti-aircraft
00:02:45defenses failed to intercept any
00:02:48missiles. A weakening attributed by President Zelensky to
00:02:52delays in missile interceptor deliveries compared to
00:02:562025.
00:03:00receive about three times fewer anti-ballistic missiles to defend our
00:03:03state. This situation is mainly linked to the
00:03:06war, or as it is now right to say,
00:03:10to hostilities and wars in the
00:03:12Middle East.
00:03:15Last week, Volodymyr
00:03:188 p.m. This is the end of this news report, thank you for Zelensky had again gone to Washington to convince Donald
00:03:20Trump to deliver Patriot missiles, the only ones capable
00:03:24of intercepting the most powerful Russian missiles, but according to the
00:03:27Financial Times, Trump refused this request due to
00:03:31the shortage of Patriots in American stocks since the
00:03:35beginning of the war in the
00:03:35Middle East.
00:03:39And we continue this news report with this drone packed with explosives discovered in
00:03:42a German airport, Leipzig Halle. The device reportedly did not
00:03:46explode due to a technical issue. This event is not attributed to Russia
00:03:50at this stage, but it is nevertheless qualified as a major
00:03:54security incident by the German Interior Minister. An anti-terrorist
00:03:56investigation has been opened. The details from Marion.
00:04:02a demining robot inspects the tarmac of Leipzig Airport in the middle of the night.
00:04:05A drone equipped with explosives has just
00:04:09been spotted just a few meters from these Antonov Airlines
00:04:12planes, a Ukrainian cargo
00:04:15company. Shortly after, a
00:04:19DHL aircraft collides in mid-flight with a flying object. The plane had
00:04:22just been diverted following the closure of the airport, it is
00:04:26fortunately only slightly damaged. Berlin
00:04:29denounces a possible hybrid attack, a threat
00:04:32taken extremely
00:04:34seriously.
00:04:38I fully understand the intuition
00:04:41depressive disorders, decreased that these threats are not the work of amateurs, they require,
00:04:44on the contrary, a very professional
00:04:48preparation
00:04:48and execution.
00:04:52This represents a new level of threat. Why is this
00:04:56incident so worrying? Leipzig
00:04:59Airport is a key logistical hub for NATO, it allows
00:05:03the transport of equipment and civilians to Ukraine, which Berlin
00:05:06has actively supported since the beginning of the Russian invasion. So, according to
00:05:10the Ukrainian ambassador in Germany, the responsibility for this incident
00:05:14undoubtedly lies with Moscow. Berlin mentions the
00:05:17possible involvement of foreign powers. An anti-terrorist
00:05:21investigation has been
00:05:22opened.
00:05:25Developments this time in the Middle East with new exchanges of strikes on the
00:05:29southern border of Lebanon. The Israeli army carried out operations following
00:05:33a ceasefire violation by Hezbollah. A Lebanese state
00:05:36media reports one dead and 11 injured. And
00:05:40yet, there are negotiations taking place right now in Rome between
00:05:43Lebanese and Israelis in the presence of Americans for the
00:05:47deployment of pilot zones, explanation by Claire Dieu Hamel from
00:05:51Jerusalem: Israel says it targeted the
00:05:55roof of a building that was in a
00:05:58cemetery in the city of Tebnin, a targeted strike
00:06:01therefore, say the Israelis, which is part
00:06:05of a response to a presumed ceasefire violation by Hezbollah, that is at least
00:06:09what the Israelis say, who speak of a blatant violation but do not provide
00:06:13more details. And then for the first time in several weeks, a little
00:06:16earlier in the day, Israel had issued an evacuation
00:06:20order for another village in southern Lebanon that is
00:06:23nearby, a village where civilians had been able to return
00:06:27as the Israeli army withdrew. These strikes
00:06:31in southern Lebanon are part of a context of negotiations taking
00:06:34place right now in Rome between the Israeli state and the
00:06:38Lebanese state, this is the 7th round of negotiations that
00:06:41provides, in particular, for the deployment
00:06:45of the Lebanese army in pilot zones evacuated by the
00:06:48Israeli army, this is the objective of these negotiations, but these negotiations
00:06:52are extremely difficult, especially since the main belligerent is not
00:06:56part of them, Hezbollah, which has refused these negotiations since the
00:06:59beginning. Naim Qassem, the secretary general of the Shiite movement, said
00:07:02today, and I quote, that these negotiations brought nothing but
00:07:06shame, humiliation and successive compromises. In this
00:07:09context, we can clearly see the limits of these negotiations, which for the moment
00:07:13have not achieved the objective of disarming
00:07:16Hezbollah.
00:07:19There will be an agreement between Iran and Oman concerning a passage in the Strait
00:07:22of Hormuz that would give Tehran control over the entry of ships into the
00:07:26Gulf, according to the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a
00:07:30communiqué detailing the agreement is well on its way to being finalized. Listen to this
00:07:33spokesperson for the Iranian
00:07:34regime.
00:07:39At this stage, all topics have been discussed. The
00:07:42map, the transit routes, the entry and exit of maritime
00:07:46traffic and the bilateral agreement with
00:07:49Oman.
00:07:54We have made enormous progress and are on
00:07:57the verge of finalizing our discussions with
00:08:00Oman.
00:08:04And I would add that an oil slick threatens Oman, it is notably Greenpeace which
00:08:07warns that a tanker damaged by explosions in early June would have spilled
00:08:11its cargo. A ship currently stranded according
00:08:15to satellite images on the south coast of the Sultanate, and then this
00:08:19night the Houthi rebels from Yemen claim to have attacked two Saudi
00:08:22tankers, and explosions were also heard in the
00:08:26Strait of Hormuz according to the British maritime agency. In the
00:08:29United States, in the primaries that are to determine the candidates for the November
00:08:33midterms, the surprise is Abdullah El Sayed, he is
00:08:37the one who will be the Democratic candidate for Michigan to retain the Senate
00:08:40seat, he is the one who is... doctor won against a more
00:08:44moderate candidate, he is part of the left wing of the party
00:08:48in the so-called progressive movement that notably brought Zohran Mamdani
00:08:51to power in New York a few months ago. Jules
00:08:54Boadeau.
00:08:57He wants to embody the democratic renewal. Abdul El
00:09:00Sayed, son of Egyptian immigrants, will represent
00:09:03the party in Michigan for a Senate seat after his victory in the
00:09:07primary.
00:09:09I want to express all the gratitude I feel for being able to
00:09:13participate in this beautiful democracy. My family immigrated
00:09:17from a place where there is no democracy, you simply cannot stand, as the great
00:09:21Muhammad Ali would say, we shook the
00:09:23world,
00:09:25shook the world, but especially the Democratic Party with
00:09:29a disruptive political line. Facing the
00:09:32centrist candidate Aillie Stevens, former advisor to
00:09:35Barack Obama, Abdul El Sayed campaigned against the influence of
00:09:39large donors and pro-Israel organizations in
00:09:42American politics, supported by so-called
00:09:46progressive figures like Bernie Sanders or Alexandria
00:09:49Ocasio-Cortez, he now wants to prove that a radical voice in the
00:09:52Democratic Party can block the MAGA Republicans.
00:09:56Donald Trump himself seemed to rejoice at this result.
00:10:00Great news for the Republican Party, the communist
00:10:03loser El Sayed who hates Jews and Israel won the Democratic
00:10:07primary. The crazy proposals of the idiotic Democrats
00:10:11will get even worse. But before facing Donald Trump's
00:10:14candidate, Abdul will have to unite his own
00:10:18party. The end of the primary was marked by personal
00:10:21attacks and a frontal opposition on the issue of support
00:10:25for Israel. After the announcement of his victory, the now
00:10:28Democratic candidate immediately called for
00:10:31unity.
00:10:34FIFA apologizes, it was a scandal these last few days after the disclosure of its
00:10:38commercial entity project, the International Football Federation
00:10:42recognizes errors after a crisis meeting of its governing
00:10:45council, an apology accompanied by a
00:10:48commitment to ensure that they do not happen again, as can be read in
00:10:52this press release. The board members... affirm
00:10:55in any case their full support for Gianni
00:10:57Infantino.
00:11:01In one week, the sun will disappear for a few
00:11:04moments, a solar eclipse that will be visible in France, we could
00:11:08observe it totally in a part of Spain, almost entirely in
00:11:13France. An exceptional but
00:11:16dangerous spectacle to observe with the naked eye, even for a few moments,
00:11:20know that. The only protection, special glasses
00:11:23meeting very strict standards. So how are they made, how
00:11:27to get them? Léticia
00:11:28Legendre,
00:11:31night, in broad daylight, as in
00:11:331999, with this twilight
00:11:36atmosphere, when the sun plays hide-and-seek with the moon,
00:11:40but to admire this eclipse, you still need to be well equipped with suitable
00:11:44glasses. You shouldn't look at the sun for too long anyway, so
00:11:48if you don't have the right glasses, you can really damage your eyes. In recent
00:11:51weeks, this Alsatian manufacturer has been multiplying deliveries
00:11:55of protective glasses, hundreds
00:11:57of thousands of pairs specially designed to observe this phenomenon
00:12:01as rare as spectacular, the
00:12:04moon passing between the Earth and the sun, preventing its
00:12:07light from reaching our planet, a spectacle to
00:12:11observe with opaque glasses, it is a filter
00:12:15that reflects the harmful rays of the sun
00:12:18outside and inside, the filter is black,
00:12:21it is a filter that restores the orange image of the sun.
00:12:25"These protective glasses meet precise standards and
00:12:28are delivered with a certificate of conformity. At this
00:12:32optician, already about fifty pairs sold at 3 €
00:12:35each. It's now or never because
00:12:39apparently there won't be another as complete
00:12:42for a while and perhaps it will be the
00:12:46last of our lives. In 1999 in France during
00:12:49the last total eclipse, some improvised by making
00:12:53makeshift glasses, which are to be banned because..." even partial sunlight can
00:12:57pass through the eye and burn the retina in a matter of
00:13:00seconds, a painless burn with sometimes irreversible
00:13:03consequences. The light ray from the sun will
00:13:07burn these fundamental cells, a black spot that
00:13:10is somewhat engraved in front of us, and
00:13:13except that this black spot no longer disappears and so when we look at people we no longer see
00:13:17their faces, we no longer see the center, we can no longer read,
00:13:21it is in Bayonne that the darkness will be the most significant, almost total.
00:13:25The spectacle will be visible throughout France, but one week before the big
00:13:29night, the General Directorate of Health is concerned about possible
00:13:33stock shortages of glasses to observe
00:13:35the eclipse, and this will therefore be on Wednesday, August 12,
00:13:39around
00:13:43following it, you can go to the website for more
00:13:46information and more deciphering still on the front page
00:13:50of France24.com, tonight, we come back to FIFA's
00:13:53apologies. It therefore recognizes errors after
00:13:57its project last week which had caused a reinforced
00:14:00scandal by its
00:14:03board of directors, so this is what you can
00:14:06read on France 24 as well as other news, thank you for following
00:14:10us, next appointment in about fifteen minutes.
00:14:35Social networks, video games, school
00:14:38work, screens are omnipresent in teenagers'
00:14:41lives, when I came home, all
00:14:45I wanted to do was go back to my phone or the
00:14:49PS5.
00:14:51Health professionals are increasingly warning about the teeth.
00:14:56The only valid comparison for me is alcohol or hard
00:14:58drugs, but how to face a system that encourages
00:15:02all digital, I brake, I brake, I
00:15:05brake, and and in front of me there is the school asking,
00:15:09between contradictory injunctions and tech lobbies, some
00:15:13parents and teachers have decided to
00:15:15resist.
00:15:25I like video games because well, it teaches me
00:15:29creativity, it can teach me a lot of things and
00:15:32everything.
00:15:36At 13, he is... 5th grade and like 9
00:15:39out of 10 children his age, he owns a
00:15:42smartphone.
00:15:45His thing is video games, free
00:15:48online games he played every day still a few
00:15:52months ago.
00:15:56When I got home, all I wanted to do was go back
00:16:00to my phone or the
00:16:03PS5, I really didn't want to do my homework.
00:16:09Uh, I really wanted to stay home all the time
00:16:13in my room locked up with the shutters
00:16:16closed, just playing Fortnite,
00:16:20Roblox, Minecraft, All-Star, all the
00:16:22games.
00:16:25Ryan became addicted in a few weeks. At
00:16:28the time, when there was no school, he
00:16:31sometimes spent 12 hours a day in front of a
00:16:34screen. His concentration decreased. His
00:16:38school results too, well he
00:16:41didn't go out, we didn't see him outside, he was always in his room, we didn't see him, he only came back to
00:16:45eat or play on the console in the main room, he had to
00:16:48complain, he had to take the phone and then when we took the phone, he went into his
00:16:52room and he was angry, he was angry and he made
00:16:56a mess in his room, almost turning everything upside down. I had
00:17:00a deep anger,
00:17:03very strong because well I wanted to play because it
00:17:06served me to... except that in the end it did the exact
00:17:09opposite. Ryan's parents then felt
00:17:13increasingly helpless. He wasn't my son
00:17:16anymore. It was complicated, we
00:17:20didn't know what to do with him anymore, at some point it was almost like saying, "Go ahead, look at your
00:17:23screens and leave us alone." We felt like we were bad parents
00:17:27too, well yeah sometimes we wondered what we had done wrong
00:17:30actually, what we were doing wrong for
00:17:33it to be like
00:17:35that.
00:17:38If Ryan and his parents speak in the past tense, it is because they have
00:17:42decided to seek help. Shall we
00:17:44go? In this medical
00:17:47center, Sabine Duflot receives
00:17:51teenagers addicted to screens one day
00:17:53a week.
00:17:56The first time we met was a month ago, and you
00:18:00had set up parental control, but he
00:18:02bypassed it, played around with it, well yes he managed
00:18:05it. You can find it easily, how to bypass parental
00:18:09control, it's all on YouTube, it's
00:18:11crazy.
00:18:14Here, 90% of patients are boys, average age
00:18:1814, playing like Ryan, free
00:18:21online multiplayer video games, all these games have one thing
00:18:25in common, random
00:18:27rewards. Let's take a concrete example in
00:18:31Fortnite, the goal is to
00:18:34shoot others before they shoot you back...
00:18:38And when you move, you can come across good quality
00:18:42weapons on your path that allow you to defend yourself well or not, and
00:18:45that is totally random, and it's this
00:18:48randomness that creates addiction. The only comparison that seems
00:18:52valid to me is alcohol or hard drugs. For the
00:18:55psychologist, there is only one solution to get out of this
00:18:59addiction, abstinence from the
00:19:01PlayStation. If your child was 13 and you said, "He has a drinking problem, he
00:19:05drinks all the time, your... in the morning uh whisky
00:19:09in the afternoon," and I prescribed abstinence, you would
00:19:12find that normal, it's the only solution, well it's the same thing here.
00:19:16The first few days of abstinence are difficult for
00:19:19Ryan, but in a few weeks the method proves
00:19:22itself. I still feel that I really have this urge
00:19:26for screens, for video games, for everything,
00:19:30but I think now I really
00:19:33think more about my friends, about going out with them. Hello,
00:19:37before we didn't hear him, he would come in, he was on his phone in his room, so we didn't hear him, it's
00:19:41true that now he's a chatterbox, but well it's much more pleasant to hear him talk,
00:19:45discuss and all that.
00:19:48Today, in France, children get their first smartphone
00:19:52at the age of 9 on average,
00:19:55and spend more than 4 hours a day on a screen, outside school
00:19:59hours. Many health professionals
00:20:02warn about the risks to the mental and physical health of
00:20:06children and adolescents, deterioration of sleep
00:20:10quality, exposure to violent or pornographic
00:20:14content, stress, anxiety or
00:20:18attention.
00:20:24Faced with the danger, some parents have decided to unite not
00:20:28to equip their children with smartphones.
00:20:31Annelorbaille is one of the leaders of the pact, Grow Better Without
00:20:35Smartphones. The idea is that... that if your child's
00:20:39friends don't have smartphones, it will be
00:20:42much easier to resist because the argument of "but I'm the
00:20:46only one" will no longer hold. We discuss with
00:20:50the parents of their child's friends, three or four couples of parents, and we
00:20:54say, "Okay, here's the transition to 6th grade, which is a big
00:20:57milestone. Uh, we don't plan to give a smartphone, and what do you plan to do?"
00:21:01and so on, because that's what makes parents crack, it's the guilt of saying
00:21:05"my child will be the outcast, my child will be the only one, he will be
00:21:08completely
00:21:09isolated."
00:21:14I really don't want to have a child addicted to
00:21:17screens.
00:21:20She is one of those parents who have joined the
00:21:22pact. Her daughter Clémentine is in
00:21:254th grade.
00:21:29Clémentine's age or even her brothers and sisters
00:21:33who are in 6th grade and CM2, where in fact they no longer know how
00:21:37to play, nothing happens anymore, they don't have a moment of pause, they don't
00:21:41have, they don't have the overflowing creativity,
00:21:45the imagination, all the stories they can invent, all that, it doesn't
00:21:48exist. At almost 14 years old, Clémentine is an
00:21:52exception. Fortunately, two of her friends
00:21:55have, like her, a simple flip phone. I
00:21:59feel less alone, and and above all, we
00:22:03spend more time together, we exchange
00:22:06much more, we are not all on our phones watching
00:22:10videos and saying, "Oh, look at this, it's so good," and
00:22:14that's the only thing we talk about.
00:22:18Tell me, Klem."
00:22:22you are addicted to doing despite Clementine's good intentions and her parents' determination,
00:22:25it's difficult to escape screens. That
00:22:29day, the middle schooler had an assignment to do
00:22:32online, not only,
00:22:34comma, he doesn't believe
00:22:37me.
00:22:40It's not very fair because already the school at the beginning of the year
00:22:44told us that they were against screens
00:22:47and now they give us
00:22:50homework to do on screen, so it makes no
00:22:54sense. I brake, I brake, I brake, and and in front of me there's
00:22:57the school asking. So I understand that it's easier, but does
00:23:01easier mean better? I'm not sure actually. How
00:23:05to manage these contradictory injunctions? We
00:23:10National Education what solutions were envisioned so as
00:23:13not to oblige parents to equip their children
00:23:16with screens. We have not received a response.
00:23:24Since the start of the 2025 school year,
00:23:26smartphones have been banned in all middle schools, but this
00:23:29Parisian establishment has decided to go further. Students
00:23:33are not allowed to bring a smartphone, even turned off, in their
00:23:36bags and no longer have access to the school life software
00:23:40Pronote. No choice, they must now
00:23:43write their homework by hand, so take your agenda
00:23:47for Tuesday, April 7 to bring.
00:23:52the exercise book. It allows
00:23:55us to explain the homework we give more
00:23:59precisely, to have questions immediately that
00:24:02come back compared to what he notes, it makes the student
00:24:06more active, more aware of what he has to do or
00:24:09not to do. Sébastien Blondo is the principal of the
00:24:13middle school, he is the one who leads this
00:24:15experimentation.
00:24:17I asked for the installation of screens.
00:24:20Uh, and and on this screen we will have in fact the
00:24:24different information that we found on Pronote, for example, timetable
00:24:28changes, but it's true that at the beginning there were hiccups, I tell you right
00:24:31away because we had to get used to
00:24:34talking to the students, to communicating directly with them without going through
00:24:38the intermediary of Pronote. I
00:24:41just wanted to see with you, Sébastien Blondo has not only
00:24:44banned Pronote for students, he has also asked
00:24:47teachers not to give homework
00:24:51requiring a screen. The
00:24:53principle is very very simple, it is to explain to students and to
00:24:57parents that a child doesn't need a
00:25:00smartphone for school work, it's useless,
00:25:03so it's a blow, yes they can't
00:25:06watch online the video of the erupting volcano, it's
00:25:10it's a shame, I understand that well, the map given
00:25:14in color by the history and geography teacher will be in black and white because
00:25:17because it's the photocopy is in black and white.
00:25:20so we miss a lot of things, but
00:25:22no, the risks are too
00:25:25great,
00:25:27it's not a question of banning digital,
00:25:31here, computer rooms and tablets are
00:25:33available, but only under the supervision of a
00:25:37teacher. in my classes, I regularly use
00:25:41both websites, digital tools,
00:25:45artificial intelligence too, so we don't ban digital, but we supervise it and we
00:25:49take back control. compared to a somewhat wild use that had started to
00:25:52happen, if sixth graders are rather
00:25:56favorable, the older ones are grumbling,
00:25:59they are not happy, of course. because for them it's
00:26:03a ban, a ban, they don't
00:26:06like it, but in their interest, I think it's the best thing
00:26:10that could have happened to them because before it was just phones and when they are on their
00:26:13phones, it's social networks, it's snapchat, tiktok, and
00:26:16so on, and these are not social networks honestly that allow them to advance in their
00:26:20schooling. these experiments, supported by
00:26:24a handful of teachers and parents, are still marginal,
00:26:27but they reflect a common will: to allow
00:26:31teenagers to live their schooling without falling into
00:26:34the trap of all-
00:26:35digital.
