00:00:11strikes between Ukraine and Russia, drones launched on Russian
00:00:14refineries against attacks on several Ukrainian
00:00:18Gravstrom or even Kevin Lamour, FIFA's number cities, Kyiv hopes to convince its Western allies to provide it with anti-missile
00:00:22defenses. We will take stock in a moment with Melina Huet.
00:00:25Israel, for its part, continues to strike Lebanon on the third day of negotiations
00:00:29yet. ongoing in Rome with the Lebanese authorities, clashes with Hezbollah
00:00:33have left two Israeli victims, soldiers killed by an
00:00:36explosive device. And then assailed by criticism and calls for his
00:00:40resignation, Janny Infantino receives the support of FIFA, the president of the
00:00:44International Football Federation, apologized yesterday during an emergency meeting
00:00:48in Rabat for his aborted proposal to open the World Cup to private
00:00:55new album Boulevard de investors.
00:00:58hit, the military governor of
00:01:05Ukraine and Russia are striking back and forth in recent hours, while
00:01:08Kyiv again targeted Russian territory in depth,
00:01:12refineries up to 1300 km beyond the front line,
00:01:15Russian strikes have killed seven Ukrainian civilians in the regions
00:01:19of Kharkiv, Sumy and in the Black Sea. New
00:01:22illustration of the lack of interceptor missiles on the Ukrainian
00:01:26side. Please note, some images that follow may be
00:01:29particularly disturbing. Alice Broga.
00:01:33After more than 20 hours of search, Ukrainian
00:01:36rescuers extract from the rubble a lifeless
00:01:38body. A civilian killed in a Russian strike that occurred the day before on this
00:01:42building in Kramatorsk. Faced with the
00:01:45proliferation of Russian attacks, the authorities of this city in the Donetsk
00:01:48region in eastern Ukraine ordered on Wednesday evening
00:01:52the evacuation of about 500 children and their families who still
00:01:57Aliben Alussein is the president of lived in the city. In the Kyiv region too, the attacks are... increasingly numerous and
00:02:01deadly, along this railway line, railway workers
00:02:05evacuate one by one the bodies of victims, killed after a
00:02:08strike on a busy station 30 km from the capital,
00:02:12a resident testifies to a night
00:02:14of horror,
00:02:18the noise was deafening and as the air raid siren was still
00:02:21on, I dared not look around me,
00:02:24then there were explosions, structures
00:02:27collapsing. and a lot of
00:02:30smoke,
00:02:33there's a station nearby, and then I saw people covered in blood
00:02:37running in the street, according to the Ukrainian army, Russia
00:02:40fired 115 long-range drones and 28 missiles on Tuesday
00:02:44night, but only 98 drones could be
00:02:48neutralized. Ukrainian anti-aircraft defenses failed to
00:02:52intercept any of the missiles. A weakening attributed by President
00:02:56Zelensky to delays in the delivery of missile interceptors.
00:03:16very particular context of
00:03:30the most efficient Russians, but landscapes adorn the walls of according to the Financial Times,
00:03:34some of the hidden treasures of Trump refused this request due to the shortage of Patriots
00:03:37in American stocks since the beginning of the war in the
00:03:40Middle East.
00:03:43And to talk about it with us, Melina Huet, senior reporter at France 24. Hello Melina, you
00:03:47have been to Ukraine many times to cover the conflict, especially
00:03:50for France 24, despite the apparent warming between Donald Trump and
00:03:54Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president's requests
00:03:57for more of these defense systems. for the time being, remain
00:04:00unanswered, yes absolutely, in fact the
00:04:02killed last April in Israeli tone has changed Raphael, but the commitment remains uncertain, we must first
00:04:06remember that on July 8 at the NATO summit, Donald Trump had
00:04:09indeed announced to Volodymyr Zelensky a license to
00:04:13manufacture Patriots, but immediately afterwards, he said that the industrialists had not even been
00:04:17informed, so to show a little the level of preparation of this announcement,
00:04:203 weeks later at Camp David, he declares that Washington has
00:04:24granted nothing, in fact according to him, it is a technology that is difficult to
00:04:27transfer, he says because a country. that receives it may one day turn
00:04:32Europe and Western against you, again this also shows the level of trust of
00:04:35Washington towards Kyiv, on the ground, it should be known that the Russian
00:04:38advantage has reduced but without disappearing, the Russian army
00:04:42attacks more, it progresses less
00:04:45recorded in the country. The head of but it still progresses, especially in the Donetsk region in the
00:04:48east, what has changed in fact is above all Donald
00:04:51Trump's annoyance because he is facing a Kremlin that does not
00:04:55seem to want to move, that does not seem to
00:04:58want to sign any
00:05:02The communiqué also recalls that the senior officials of peace agreement whatsoever, while you say he has shown evidence of sustained effort without ever
00:05:06it being reciprocated on the other side. you mentioned the
00:05:09eastern front and at the same time the Ukrainian authorities have... called for the evacuation of
00:05:13Kramatorsk near this front line, you were able to speak
00:05:16with Ukrainians on the ground, yes absolutely, so you have to know that Kramatorsk,
00:05:20it's a city that's not that far from the front line, not only since 2022 but
00:05:24since 2014, in fact you see it there on this
00:05:28map, Kramatorsk has gradually approached the contact
00:05:31line, today we are only about twenty kilometers away,
00:05:35Drushkifka which is just below which is a city where our journalists
00:05:38were based for a very long time, for several years, today we barely go
00:05:42there anymore because there are drones everywhere, there are nets everywhere, there are only soldiers left,
00:05:46it is today 16 km from the front line of Russian
00:05:49soldiers, in fact Kramatorsk yesterday for example
00:05:53just yesterday was targeted in one day 31 times
00:05:57not only by FPV drones but also by glide bombs and glide bombs are very
00:06:01difficult to intercept, if not almost impossible for Ukrainians, these
00:06:05are essentially residential buildings like what you see behind me that are
00:06:10the region consequently ordered the evacuation.
00:06:12of 525 children each with their legal representative(s), what you need to know
00:06:16is that Kramatorsk has had several evacuation orders since
00:06:202022, what has changed in 4 and a half years is
00:06:23the need to do it more and more, the fact that the city has gradually
00:06:26emptied, that the front line has approached, indeed you said, this
00:06:30morning I spoke with residents of Kramatorsk, including a young
00:06:34couple with Nikita and his wife, 27 years old, who have
00:06:37always lived in Kramatorsk, in fact they were first evacuated in 2022,
00:06:41they left. they lived, they stayed only 6 months there and then they came back
00:06:45and in 2024 because they thought that maybe it would get better, they even started a
00:06:49business, they opened a restaurant, a pizzeria and today he
00:06:53told me this morning he told me today is the last day we
00:06:56open we are packing up it's been more than 4 years but that's it we are leaving
00:07:00they are going to Irpin they say it's too much there's the worsening of the
00:07:04situation and then the fact that the city is simply depopulating,
00:07:06thank you Melina Ued, that's
00:07:10for the situation in Ukraine, next. and end of negotiations in Rome between
00:07:14Israelis and Lebanese, they aim to allow a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli
00:07:18army from southern Lebanon in exchange for Hezbollah's
00:07:21disarmament, but the Shiite movement refuses to lay down its arms and
00:07:25the Hebrew state still strikes Lebanese territory, two Israeli
00:07:28soldiers died, Romain
00:07:30Michelot.
00:07:33The sky of Lebanon, once again crossed by Israeli
00:07:36flares. Here in the south of the country, the army has resumed its
00:07:40bombardments and clashes with Hezbollah.
00:07:44In response to a blatant violation of the ceasefire by
00:07:47Hezbollah, the Israeli army began to carry out targeted strikes in southern
00:07:51Lebanon. At least one person died on the Lebanese
00:07:54side. Two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion, a
00:07:58first in over a month. Sporadic but
00:08:02recurring clashes despite a security agreement that came into effect at the end of
00:08:05June. Israel occupies a so-called security zone in
00:08:08southern Lebanon about ten kilometers from the border.
00:08:12but residents of towns and villages north of this zone can
00:08:16officially return home, in fact, this resumption of
00:08:19clashes and evacuation orders complicates this
00:08:22process according to the UN. This new order
00:08:25comes as displaced families have returned home in southern
00:08:29Lebanon in recent weeks. The situation
00:08:32remains fragile and residents remain in uncertainty.
00:08:36Demolition operations, bombardments and other military activities
00:08:39damage homes, agricultural land and. civil
00:08:43infrastructure. These clashes are taking place during a period of
00:08:46negotiations in Rome under the auspices of the United States. They concern the
00:08:50deployment of the Lebanese army in pilot zones evacuated by
00:08:53Israel. But they involve Hezbollah's disarmament, which the Shiite
00:08:57group has so far refused. Since the beginning of the war between Israel and
00:09:01Hezbollah, at least 4300 people in Lebanon
00:09:04and 38 Israeli soldiers have died according to
00:09:07authorities.
00:09:09And among the many dead in Lebanon, the journalist. Khalil
00:09:15army strikes, she had taken refuge in a building then
00:09:19targeted by Taal, a deliberate attack, several NGOs
00:09:22estimate today, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the Lebanese
00:09:26organization Legal Agenda, they accuse Israel of war
00:09:30crimes.
00:09:32Gianni Infantino saves his job at the head of FIFA, at least for
00:09:36now, the president of the International Football Federation
00:09:39apologized yesterday to the 211 federations. after his
00:09:43controversial project to open the football World Cups to private investors
00:09:47Benochet absolutely circulate, there's nothing more to
00:09:49see, a simple press release, no statement
00:09:53at the end of this crisis meeting which was therefore
00:09:56held yesterday in Morocco around Gianni Infantino and
00:10:00a mea culpa to the 211 member countries
00:10:03for, I quote, the errors committed concerning the now abandoned project of
00:10:06selling part of the commercial rights of the World Cup, the management of this
00:10:10project should have been different.
00:10:14the body have reaffirmed their full
00:10:17support, renewed their confidence in Infantino and warns that henceforth
00:10:20everyone must fall into line, FIFA will no longer tolerate
00:10:23any attack on its. its good governance and the regularity of its
00:10:26procedures, all necessary measures will be taken to
00:10:29protect its reputation, a thinly veiled
00:10:32threat to all those who dared to speak out against this
00:10:36project last week, we are obviously thinking of Arsene Wenger, we are thinking of the
00:10:39general secretary of the body, Matthias
00:10:433, FIFA which is trying to turn the page
00:10:47on what constitutes the most important crisis since Johnny Franctino took office in 2016, a fault admitted, a fault half
00:10:50forgiven as the saying
00:10:54goes. not so sure yeah project abandoned since you said it Benochet
00:10:58and yet that hasn't calmed the detractors no Infantino who put his finger in something that
00:11:01escapes him has he already gone too far, he whose re-election next
00:11:05March for a fourth term seemed almost certain still
00:11:092 weeks ago he is the only declared candidate for this
00:11:12election this project to sell part of the World Cup rights really didn't go
00:11:15down well with several confederations we talked a lot about UEFA the
00:11:19Concacaf the Asian confederation while waiting for a position
00:11:23from the African Football Confederation but we know this CAF
00:11:27which could be more favorable to the FIFA president, Infantino's
00:11:30detractors who have swallowed a few bitter pills in recent years, there was the
00:11:34creation of this brand new version of the Club
00:11:37World Cup in an already overloaded calendar, his closeness, we
00:11:41saw it a lot John Fantino at the side of American President Donald
00:11:45Trump that made some people grit their teeth uh we know that among the
00:11:49confederations, advertising spaces disguised as cooling breaks and
00:11:52voices are now rising. there were the opposition stances of the British
00:11:56and Canadian Prime Ministers, for them
00:11:59Infantino is no longer the man for the job and he must leave, that's what
00:12:03Portuguese football legend Luis Figo wrote in a column yesterday in the Daily Mail,
00:12:06and yes Infantino criticized,
00:12:10contested but not yet replaced no, well the first thing is that he is
00:12:13the only declared candidate for the moment, Infantino who would use very
00:12:17questionable methods to keep his job, Prince
00:12:22the Jordanian Football Federation. he even accused him of
00:12:26blackmail this week on X, for months, FIFA refused to
00:12:29help us on certain issues until I was verbally told during the World
00:12:32Cup, that if I supported Infantino, it would greatly
00:12:36help our federation. The 2030
00:12:39World Cup, you know it is co-organized by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, where
00:12:43the final will be played, it has not yet been decided, but according to our colleagues from the
00:12:46Times, Infantino would have proposed a deal to the Royal Moroccan
00:12:50Federation, you will host the final on condition that you support
00:12:53me. election information since denied by
00:12:57FIFA, his detractors who will have to find him a
00:13:01weighty opponent anyway and that will not be easy, time is running out, the deadline
00:13:04for submitting candidacies is next November 18, two names are circulating, that of Canadian
00:13:08Victor Montagliani, who is the president of
00:13:11Concacaf and the name of the president of the Asian
00:13:15confederation, Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim al
00:13:18Khalifa, so two names that are mentioned for why not
00:13:21succeed Johnny Infantino, in any case it will be necessary to find a personality. capable
00:13:25of seducing the most modest federations, we know they are very dependent
00:13:29on FIFA payments for their day-to-day
00:13:33operations and then the most prosperous associations, historical
00:13:37football strongholds, there are 211 members of
00:13:40this FIFA, each member association has
00:13:44one vote for the ballot, meaning that the federation of Curaçao or
00:13:47the Comoros has exactly the same weight as the French or
00:13:51German federation, uh the election is
00:13:53simple and the dice are now cast, so thank
00:13:57you Benochet, that's for football and
00:14:00FIFA, we'll see you in fifteen minutes for the rest of the news, it will obviously
00:14:04still be around the world on France 24.
00:14:32100 years ago, the Cité Universitaire was born in the heart of
00:14:35Paris, a dream of fraternity
00:14:39realized by a few humanists, students
00:14:42from states who had
00:14:45fought against each other during the First World
00:14:48War met on this
00:14:51campus. Students, researchers
00:14:55and artists gathered in 47 houses,
00:14:59Joseanna and I met at the United States Foundation, one day she told
00:15:02me, Lisa, I need someone who can
00:15:06film the process, I said absolutely we're going to do that.
00:15:10Today, the Cité Universitaire welcomes
00:15:13young people from all over the world.
00:15:30four students of different nationalities
00:15:34in one and the same kitchen at table.
00:15:39They study in different Parisian faculties but meet
00:15:43here in the evening,
00:15:46all live in the Swedish Students'
00:15:48House.
00:15:55I am Karl, I am 27 years old and
00:15:59I am doing a PhD in
00:16:01computer science, I did my bachelor and
00:16:05master in Germany where. I used to
00:16:08live, my name is Priscilla, I am 26 years old,
00:16:12I study at the Pantheon Sorbonne faculty and I live at the Swedish
00:16:15House, my name is Marco, I am
00:16:19Brazilian Quebecer and I am admitted here in brewing at the Swedish
00:16:23House as a Canadian resident, I am in a bachelor's degree in
00:16:26political science at the Pantheon University, so I am
00:16:30Elsa, I am 23 years old and I study at Science Po in
00:16:33Master and I lived in Sweden, so that's why
00:16:36when I came to Paris, I wanted to try to have this international
00:16:40atmosphere,
00:16:43I eat, coffee, the Swedish students' house is the smallest of the 47 houses of the
00:16:47university city, one of the oldest
00:16:50too,
00:16:54here we love the mix of genres and origins,
00:16:58as explained by the director Pierre
00:17:00Tolcini.
00:17:04At the Swedish Students' House, we select the 40... 4
00:17:08Swedes who will live at the Cité Universitaire, we
00:17:11keep half because we do what we
00:17:15call 50% mixing, so there is
00:17:18half of the Swedes who will stay at the Swedish Students' House and
00:17:22the other 50% are other nationalities
00:17:26and even if it is the smallest house at the Cité Universitaire, we
00:17:29have each year at least twenty
00:17:32nationalities,
00:17:36just him, is a concentrate of different cultures,
00:17:39welcome to my room, number
00:17:4321,
00:17:45Canadian student, he brings his Quebec accent,
00:17:49but not only the most important decoration I always bring
00:17:53with me is my Brazilian flag, because I am of Brazilian
00:17:57origin, I know my family is with me,
00:18:01very quickly, this political science student felt at
00:18:04ease, at first I wasn't too sure. when
00:18:08I saw the room, incredible, very happy also to be in
00:18:11Paris to be able to follow football a little closer, Champions League, all
00:18:15that, I'm
00:18:15happy,
00:18:2012,000 students, researchers and artists are welcomed each year at the
00:18:24Cité Universitaire,
00:18:28located in a 34 hectare park, it does not
00:18:31offer teaching, but here there is a theater,
00:18:35a swimming pool and a large
00:18:37library which in this exam period is
00:18:41packed to the brim,
00:18:44the Cité U, as it is known in Paris, was born 100
00:18:47years ago,
00:18:50the president of the foundation recalls the
00:18:53the time, from the interwar
00:18:57period, students from states who had
00:19:00fought against each other during the First World
00:19:04War met on this
00:19:07campus and they learned to live
00:19:11together, to exchange and fundamentally to
00:19:14understand
00:19:17that it
00:19:20was useful, necessary and possible to build a world of
00:19:24peace.
00:19:27Building a world of peace, that's what still
00:19:30animates today, the debates and projects of the Cité
00:19:34Universitaire.
00:19:37we are in the process of contravening the pavilion, to make sure that it resists the
00:19:41wind, and so we come with
00:19:44tie rods, to attach them to the trees and to the piers around the
00:19:47site. Matis is French, Susanna
00:19:51Polish, Elisa
00:19:53Russian. Together, they are working on the
00:19:57Peace Pavilion, built in the garden of the Japanese
00:20:00House. This pavilion project,
00:20:04it is built as part of the commemoration. of Hiroshima and
00:20:08Nagasaki, it symbolizes the renewed
00:20:11friendship between the United States and Japan, it was
00:20:14developed thanks to the support of several houses on the
00:20:18campus, and that's what shows, what also reflects
00:20:21the image of the city, that these are people who don't
00:20:25necessarily know each other and who are ready to
00:20:29commit to projects together.
00:20:33Among Susanna's acolytes, a young
00:20:36videographer wants. Jusanna and I
00:20:40met at the United States Foundation and she's my
00:20:43neighbor on the 5th floor, one day she told
00:20:46me: Lisa, I need someone who... can
00:20:50film the process, it would be amazing to film, I said absolutely
00:20:53Zoza, you are my best neighbor, absolutely we'll do
00:20:57that, many talents
00:21:00combined in the wake of the former residents of the Cité
00:21:04U, among them, the Greek
00:21:07director Costa Gavras, the Senegalese poet Léopold Sédar
00:21:11Senghor or even Habib Bourguiba, the
00:21:15president who gave his name to the new pavilion of the Tunisian
00:21:18House.
00:21:25This house was built in 2020, it is an
00:21:28extension of the Tunisian house which
00:21:32was built in 1953, the house
00:21:35has 400 residents, they are
00:21:39third-cycle students in master's and doctoral programs who come here
00:21:42for a stay of 3 years and
00:21:46alongside that there are short-term visitors who come for a short
00:21:50stay and who are primarily researchers,
00:21:53artists and athletes,
00:21:56according to the director of the house,
00:21:59several factors explain the strengthening of the Tunisian
00:22:03presence at the Cité Universitaire.
00:22:06the first reason is the
00:22:08ever-increasing demand from students who want to continue
00:22:12their studies in France, knowing that France is the
00:22:15main destination for Tunisian students. the
00:22:19second reason is to participate in this
00:22:22utopian but concrete project of
00:22:25spreading peace, solidarity
00:22:28and cultural dialogue and the third
00:22:32reason is to consolidate the historical diplomatic
00:22:35relations with a friendly country which is
00:22:39France. the Bourguiba pavilion is part of the
00:22:42last wave of construction of the houses of the Cité
00:22:46Universitaire. modern and authentic at the same time,
