00:01:09Ukraine and Russia have been striking back and forth in recent hours as Kyiv once again
00:01:13targeted Russian territory in depth, refineries up to
00:01:171300 km beyond the front
00:01:19proclamation of the abolition of line, Russian strikes have killed seven people on the Ukrainian side in the regions
00:01:22of Kharkiv, Sumy and the Black Sea, a new illustration of the
00:01:26lack of interceptor missiles. Please note,
00:01:29the report you are about to see, signed by Alice Brogas, some of the images
00:01:33may be particularly disturbing.
00:01:37After more than 20 hours of searching, Ukrainian
00:01:40rescuers pulled a lifeless body from the rubble. A
00:01:43civilian killed in a Russian strike that occurred the day before on this building in
00:01:47Kramatorsk. Faced with the increase in Russian attacks, the
00:01:51authorities of this city in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine
00:01:54ordered on Wednesday evening the evacuation of about 500
00:01:58children and their families who lived there. Still in the city, in the
00:02:01Kyiv region too, the attacks are becoming more and more numerous and
00:02:05deadly, along this railway line, railway workers
00:02:09are evacuating one by one the bodies of eight victims killed after a
00:02:12strike on a busy station 30 km from the capital,
00:02:16a local resident recounts a night
00:02:20geography or the island's of horror.
00:02:22preserving it and so I'm lucky to be really close to The noise was deafening, and as the air raid alert was still
00:02:26ongoing, I didn't dare look around me.
00:02:39And then I saw people covered in blood running in the
00:02:41street. According to the Ukrainian army, Russia
00:02:45fired 115 long-range drones and 28 missiles on Tuesday
00:02:48night, but only 98 drones could
00:02:52be neutralized. Ukrainian anti-aircraft defenses failed to
00:02:58nice anecdote, in fact, on the day intercept any missiles, a weakening attributed by...
00:03:00mainly linked to the war,
00:03:13to defend our state, this situation is
00:03:17or as it is now fair to say, to the hostilities and wars in the
00:03:21Middle East.
00:03:24Last week, Voladimir Zelensky again went to
00:03:28Washington to convince Donald Trump
00:03:30to deliver Patriot missiles, the only ones capable of intercepting the most
00:03:34powerful Russian missiles, but according to the
00:03:36Financial Times, Trump refused this request due to
00:03:40the shortage of Patriots in the US's own stocks since the
00:03:43beginning of the war in the Middle East.
00:03:47And by my side, Mélina Huet. Mélina, you have reported several times in
00:03:50Ukraine and despite the apparent warming we have
00:03:54recently seen between Voladimir Zelensky and Donald Trump. It is clear
00:03:58that anti-missile defense systems are more necessary
00:04:02than ever on the Ukrainian side, but wait, yes, that's right, so more than
00:04:05necessary, we first need to remember why, simply because the missiles that
00:04:09are not intercepted at the moment in Ukraine, and for several months or even a few
00:04:13years now, are missiles that travel several times the speed of
00:04:17sound, so obviously without an anti-aircraft
00:04:20right next to defense system like Patriots, the country will continue to
00:04:22be a victim, deep into the country, very far, even to the west
00:04:26of Ukraine. So indeed, the tone has changed
00:04:30a bit between Ukraine and the United States, but the commitment remains
00:04:34very fluctuating in the end, why? On July 8, nearly a month after
00:04:37the NATO summit in Ankara, Donald Trump had announced to Volodimir Zelensky that, well,
00:04:41yes, he could have a license to manufacture Patriots, except that immediately afterwards,
00:04:45what did he specify? Well, that the industrialists had not been notified.
00:04:483 weeks later in Camp David, Donald Trump
00:04:52finally declared that Washington had granted nothing, why? he said, well,
00:04:55because it's a technology that is difficult to give away because a
00:04:59country that receives it may one day turn against you, so that shows a little bit the level of
00:05:03distrust still between the two countries today, what is true and
00:05:07what has changed, is rather the relationship between Donald Trump and Vladimir
00:05:10Putin since it is a lag, in fact, of the US President
00:05:14facing a Kremlin that does not really want to move, that does not really
00:05:18want to sign an agreement, that does not really want to go towards peace. So this
00:05:20war, for lack of missiles, at least Ukraine is massively using
00:05:24drones, you yourself have seen how much they have
00:05:27changed the physiognomy of combat in just a few months,
00:05:31combat and the physiognomy of cities too, it's true that we talk a lot about drones, we talk a lot about
00:05:35these nets as a dystopia of cities under glass and it sounds very
00:05:38abstract said like that but you will see these images, these are images.
00:05:42notably filmed in eastern Ukraine where you can
00:05:45see the physiognomy of cities changing completely. In fact, the nets
00:05:49draw a parallel map, we could say, where they are extended, it means
00:05:52that drones are arriving or are already present. When I was in Dnipro in
00:05:56February, I went back in June last year, in fact the workers who were installing these
00:06:00drones were getting closer and closer to the city of Dnipro, even though
00:06:04it is very far from the front lines. In fact, at
00:06:07the beginning, they only extended them above checkpoints where there were
00:06:11soldiers and then, little by little, they extended them week
00:06:15by week. If we go back two years, these nets
00:06:18already existed, but in fact we didn't talk about them here in France because they
00:06:22covered a few hundred meters of logistical axis near the zero line,
00:06:25today they run for entire roads in Izium as well as on the access roads to Kherson. In fact, the
00:06:29notion of the rear, we often talk about the rear, it fades away. You
00:06:33see an excerpt from a report I made in February for France
00:06:3624 and it turns out that, well, we are on a position with Caesars
00:06:40that on a part of the road we had nets to protect, but to go from
00:06:43the HQ, the general command to this position, there you see
00:06:47nets, well, in fact we are on completely open spaces,
00:06:50open fields with nothing, so what do we do? Well, we drive at 140
00:06:54km/h with headlights off, so that's
00:06:58what essentially changes and then to give a
00:07:01very concrete little anecdote also of what that changes on the ground, last
00:07:05June I was in the Zaporizhzhia Oblast and I was with
00:07:08soldiers so I can't name them but who were far from the front line about forty
00:07:12km away and yet suffered a drone attack
00:07:15which fortunately failed, but here we were so far that hearing a
00:07:19killer drone fall
00:07:22on a makeshift base where we were, it was still quite astonishing for me who
00:07:25is used to attacks being very close to the front line, so we
00:07:29see these kill zones, what we call the death zones, they are extending,
00:07:33they are extending and in fact what we see gradually emerging is an entire country
00:07:37under glass if nothing is done, of course, and so we come back to these anti-defense
00:07:40missiles.
00:07:42And then this possibility of having other drones that kill other
00:07:46drones because we also know that a Patriot missile costs a lot, while a drone
00:07:50doesn't cost much, we're talking about millions of dollars versus a few tens
00:07:53of thousands of dollars for a drone. Thank you, Mélinauet, that's
00:07:57the situation currently in Ukraine. Russia,
00:08:00for its part, denounces a persecution after the expulsion
00:08:03order targeting the Russian journalist based in France, Guenia
00:08:06Fedorova, a regular columnist for the C News information channel
00:08:10and Europen radio, who heads the French version of Rochat
00:08:13today and is currently abroad. Her lawyer states
00:08:16that she will only return to France when the expulsion order against her is
00:08:20suspended or annulled. Listen to the reaction of the Russian diplomacy's deputy spokesperson.
00:08:24russe.
00:08:26The expulsion of Xenia Fedorova is a clear demonstration of France's
00:08:30ideological and moral weakness, its cowardice and
00:08:34its inability to defend its point of view through healthy debate and
00:08:38to engage in equitable dialogue. We consider the
00:08:41political persecution of journalists on the basis of fallacious accusations
00:08:45to be unacceptable and we firmly condemn it. Such actions are
00:08:48incompatible with France's rhetoric on its commitment to the principle of
00:08:52freedom of expression. This is a new violation of its international
00:08:56obligations in this regard.
00:08:58End of negotiations in Rome between Israelis and Lebanese, they
00:09:02aim to allow a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli army from southern
00:09:06Lebanon in exchange for the disarmament of Hezbollah, but the Shiite
00:09:09movement refuses to lay down its arms and the Hebrews
00:09:13continue to strike Lebanese territory. Two Israeli soldiers have
00:09:16died, Romain Michelot.
00:09:20The sky over Lebanon, once again crossed by Israeli
00:09:23flares. Here in the south of the country, the army has resumed its
00:09:27bombardments and clashes with Hezbollah.
00:09:29In response to a blatant
00:09:33violation of the ceasefire by Hezbollah, the Israeli army has
00:09:36started to conduct targeted strikes in southern Lebanon. At
00:09:40least one person has died on the Lebanese
00:09:42side. Two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion, a first in over
00:09:46a month, sporadic but recurring clashes despite a
00:09:50security agreement that came into effect at the end of June. Israel occupies a
00:09:54so-called security zone in southern Lebanon about ten
00:09:57kilometers near the border, but residents of the
00:10:01towns and villages north of this zone can officially return home.
00:10:04In practice, this resumption of clashes and evacuation
00:10:08orders complicates this process according to
00:10:11the UN. A new order comes as displaced families have
00:10:14returned home in southern Lebanon in recent
00:10:17weeks, the situation remains fragile and residents
00:10:21remain uncertain. Demolition operations,
00:10:25bombings and other military activities damage homes, agricultural
00:10:28land and civilian infrastructure. These clashes
00:10:32are taking place during a period of negotiations in Rome under the aegis
00:10:35of the United States. They concern the deployment of the Lebanese army in
00:10:39pilot zones evacuated by Israel, but they imply a
00:10:42disarmament of Hezbollah, which is refused for the moment by the Shiite group.
00:10:46Since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, at least
00:10:494300 people in Lebanon and 38 Israeli soldiers have
00:10:53died according to the authorities.
00:10:56Jenny Infantino's apologies are clearly insufficient for
00:11:00UEFA, the European Football Confederation intends to maintain
00:11:03its boycott of international competitions,
00:11:07including the World Cups after the project, since withdrawn,
00:11:10to open the latter to international investors by the
00:11:14FIFA boss. Jenny Infantino apologized
00:11:19the organization during an emergency meeting in
00:11:21Rabat.
00:11:25The Senate committee in the United States, with a Republican majority,
00:11:29declared Anthony Fauci guilty of obstructing
00:11:32Congress's investigative prerogatives. He was the one
00:11:36who orchestrated the White House's response to the
00:11:39COVID-19 pandemic. During his hearing, he
00:11:43invoked almost a hundred times the 5th Amendment of the
00:11:46American constitution which allows one to remain silent so as not
00:11:50to have to incriminate oneself. This committee vote constitutes
00:11:53an additional step in the Senate's attempt to prosecute
00:11:57the 85-year-old immunologist.
00:12:01The President of the WHO, the World Health Organization,
00:12:04is back in the Democratic Republic of Congo to support efforts in the fight against
00:12:07the Ebola epidemic. The 17th ongoing wave currently has more
00:12:11than 3800 identified cases, almost half of whom have died.
00:12:15It is the deadliest that the DRC has known. On the front line,
00:12:19medical personnel nevertheless complain about delays in salary
00:12:22payments. Noémy Roche.
00:12:25Every day, the same ritual, Wisa Bandelé
00:12:28puts on his suit and disinfection equipment, before
00:12:32tackling a house whose occupants have died of the Ebola
00:12:35virus. Essential gestures to
00:12:39hope to curb the spread of the virus which continues to
00:12:43strike the country. Yet, since the beginning of his
00:12:46mission in mid-May, Wiza has still not received any
00:12:50salary. In July, he joined
00:12:53other health agents to do.
00:12:57We went on strike because we noticed that we were working in dangerous
00:13:00conditions and that we were giving a lot of ourselves, we operate
00:13:04in risky situations, a patient
00:13:07may vomit blood, we must then
00:13:10clean.
00:13:14In July, the Congolese Minister of Health acknowledged payment delays
00:13:17attributed to organizational problems, assuring that they
00:13:21would be resolved. Since then, some of his colleagues have indeed
00:13:24been, but only partially according to Waiza, who
00:13:28claims to have still received nothing and continues
00:13:31nevertheless to work 7 days a week, despite the risks to which he is
00:13:35exposed. I could contract this
00:13:38virus and subsequently contaminate my family and my
00:13:41neighbors. So I realize that because of me, many
00:13:45people could
00:13:46die.
00:13:49Despite the fear, Wiza refuses to leave his post for
00:13:53now, guided by a sense of duty, a mission
00:13:56all the more crucial as this epidemic has now surpassed that of 2018
00:14:00in terms of cases, according to the Congolese authorities, more than
00:14:048370 cases have been confirmed, including
00:14:081751 deaths
00:14:23I want to stay here.
00:14:25"I wish to stay here and I cannot in fact, it is
00:14:28imposed on me to leave, to go to a
00:14:32country where I have never lived.
00:14:34vive.
00:14:37Welcome to Martinique, one of the four French territories of the
00:14:40Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. The beaches,
00:14:43turquoise water, breathtaking landscapes, many would say it's
00:14:47paradise, but for those born here, the
00:14:50reality is different,
00:14:53because this paradise, thousands of Martinicans leave it every
00:14:57year without knowing when they will see it again, so we
00:15:00went to Martinique to see why this island is
00:15:03emptying and why those who leave have so much trouble
00:15:06coming back.
00:15:13I love
00:15:14it too much,
00:15:17so that's it, and really goodbye,
00:15:21goodbye, we do a lot of things together, she's Emmanuelle, she's 18.
00:15:33She was born and grew up in Martinique, more than 7000
00:15:36km from France.
00:15:38Or mainland France, as it is called here, we feel that she is not yet
00:15:42ready to leave for mainland France, so
00:15:45why? Well, in fact, I feel, I have almost
00:15:48all my family here, the family I am closest to is in
00:15:52Martinique, for example, if I want to go see my grandmother, I go to
00:15:55see her, we talk, we laugh, good
00:15:58local dishes, but as I explain to her, at the same time, many
00:16:02young people have no choice, who also have these same values, this
00:16:06love. For family, for, well, but they
00:16:09are unfortunately forced to leave. I can do
00:16:13the license here,
00:16:16the master, it depends on the specialization I choose for the master, but if
00:16:20I choose one that happens if I can, but
00:16:23at some point I will have to go to law school and there isn't one in
00:16:27Martinique, I don't think there's one in Guadeloupe and I have to go to
00:16:31mainland France, I find it unfair not
00:16:35to be able to do everything here. Did you put the salt, doudou? Yes
00:16:38mommy, I did! Injustice, that's a word that comes
00:16:41up often in the mouths of the Martinicans we met, especially when
00:16:45it comes to the cost of living. We have the
00:16:48Chamfort water that comes from here, sometimes a pack of six
00:16:52bottles, we find it at €4.80. And
00:16:55yet it's water that's made in Martinique, so we go out on the
00:16:59Cristalline that comes from there where we can find a pack of six
00:17:03bottles for €3. And a detail that is
00:17:06important, very...
00:17:09Normally, if it's made in Martinique, there's no
00:17:12import duty, it's in
00:17:15Martinique. Why is our water more
00:17:19expensive? If we want to eat local, if we want to buy local
00:17:22fruits and vegetables, they will be more expensive than if they come
00:17:26from Spain, if they come from Mexico. In fact, we don't understand
00:17:29why everything costs more in Martinique
00:17:33than in mainland France, and it is most evident with food products.
00:17:37Prices are on average 40% higher, because
00:17:41most products are imported, not from neighboring
00:17:44islands or countries, no, most come from France or
00:17:47Europe, and on an island, everything that arrives depends on
00:17:50boats, delays and costs, but the high
00:17:54cost of living is not only explained by
00:17:57remoteness, it is also explained by history and by the very
00:18:01structure of the Martinican economy. All
00:18:04large companies in Martinique are often run by a
00:18:07Béké. The Békés are descendants of
00:18:11colonial slave owners who arrived in the Antilles in the 10th century.
00:20:39That's where it hit hard, we said no, it's
00:20:43unacceptable, we can't accept that, we are on the same level as
00:20:46everyone else, okay, Martinicans, we exist.
00:20:51I'm so glad when I see people go up there and have fun and then
00:20:55he's not there, oh I admit it's frustrating because every time they do
00:20:59concerts in Paris, no, no, for those in the
00:21:02south it's hard, but for those in the islands you have to buy a plane ticket to go see
00:21:06the artist. The feeling of being treated
00:21:09differently in several aspects of daily life fuels the feeling
00:21:13of abandonment and injustice felt by Martinicans towards the French
00:21:16state. I believe we are all French? Normally
00:21:20we are all integrated, so we should all have the same chances of succeeding and
00:21:24being able to do the job we want. It's true that on an island,
00:21:27it's small, there are fewer job offers than in mainland France because there are
00:21:31fewer companies, that's for sure,
00:21:33but it's still sad that we are always a
00:21:37little bit set apart. Here in
00:21:39Martinique, one in four young people is neither employed, nor in education,
00:21:43nor in training, for lack of opportunities, and this figure is
00:21:47twice as high as in mainland France. The brain
00:21:50drain is therefore inevitable and you just have to look at Emmanuel and his
00:21:53friends, there are four of them and all of them think
00:21:55about leaving. I don't know yet what I'm really going to do
00:21:59after my bachelor's degree, I don't know if I'll stop or if I'll leave, but I think
00:22:03I'll leave, but I'm sure of one thing, that I'll
00:22:07come back, why? because it's our home, it's Martinique,
00:22:11it's our island, our friends are here, our families are here, our roots are
00:22:14here, it's history, it's we are linked to this
00:22:17territory.
00:22:20These moments will really miss me because it's
00:22:23really the essence of our home,
00:22:26a little sunset, a little bath, we talk, we discuss, we
00:22:30laugh, about everything and nothing, and these moments, these quality
00:22:33moments, I won't have them
00:22:36there.
00:22:4245% of overseas high school graduates go to mainland France for their
00:22:45studies and others join them after obtaining their bachelor's degree
00:22:49here. This is the path Maelie
00:22:53took. It's a living environment after
00:22:55all, that we don't
00:22:59find,
00:23:01passionate about history and heritage, she found herself in Angers then
00:23:04Montpellier to do her master's degree. I live here
00:23:09the beach and the sea, it's something not to be overlooked,
00:23:12and that compared to Angers,
00:23:15oh
00:23:18là, well yes, I miss it. It was hard,
00:23:21first I had to adapt to a new
00:23:24environment, to the cold, it wasn't
00:23:28easy, I really left alone, I didn't know anyone
00:23:32there, and then I had to adapt to a new rhythm, a university rhythm that is
00:23:35not at all the same as in Martinique, it was quite hard,
00:23:38I felt
00:23:41like I was being left out and not fitting in,
00:23:44but in any case, I have a
00:23:48of the pre-admission, I was in the theater and then I
00:23:51saw a girl arrive, as soon as I saw her, I knew she was
00:23:55Antillean, so I told myself ah, someone like me who knows the
00:23:59same realities as me and immediately we became
00:24:02friends, we never left each other, we did all our studies together, but that was
00:24:06essential for me during my years in France, but the difficulties
00:24:10don't stop at the climate or loneliness.
00:24:12Financially, being an overseas student is a struggle, if only
00:24:16to go home, even if the French state offers a free round
00:24:20trip per year, it's often too little for students who are attached to
00:24:24their families like Maelie. Hello, how
00:24:27are you, if we want to come back for Christmas
00:24:31or something, then it's the parents who have to pay, I
00:24:35was lucky to come back only once,
00:24:38so the other Christmases were very sad,
00:24:42so it's a luxury, yes, absolutely, finally plane
00:24:45tickets are about 100 euros per
00:24:48ticket. As a student, we're not going to allow ourselves to spend
00:24:52100 euros on a ticket knowing that we have to eat, we have to pay
00:24:56rent,
00:24:58hello, after 4 years in mainland France, Maelie is lucky enough to
00:25:02return home and find work in Anse d'Arlet where she has always
00:25:06grown up. Well, I'm lucky to work at the town hall, which is
00:25:10the church, so I have this view every day
00:25:13and what more could I ask for?
00:25:17But her return here turns out to be more difficult than expected. It's
00:25:21true that we idealize returning to our home country a lot, when we come back, we might have
00:25:25a little disillusionment, a little frustration,
00:25:28in reality, it's us who have changed since we
00:25:32are the ones who left. When I was there, I used to say, oh, I can't wait to come back to
00:25:35Martinique, but it's true that sometimes here I say, I wish I was
00:25:38there, I even visualize my day if I was
00:25:42there. When I do my shopping, I've got into the bad habit of
00:25:46comparing prices every time between there and here. In my
00:25:57mind, she doesn't think long and chooses to return.
00:26:00By 2050,
00:26:02it could become the oldest department in France because the proportion of under 25s
00:26:06on the island is only
00:26:07decreasing.
00:26:11So for Maelie, coming back to her homeland is an opportunity to defend the
00:26:15culture and memory of her ancestors.
00:26:20the island, to Saint-Pierre.
00:26:23On the morning of May 8, 1902, Mount Pelée
00:26:26erupted, causing the death of nearly
00:26:3028 to 3000 inhabitants. and
00:26:33it destroyed, we could say, a prosperous urban center
00:26:37since it was really the little Paris of the Antilles,
00:26:41it was, we could say the place, the
00:26:44place to be, oh
00:26:47yeah, there were three levels in this
00:26:51theater,
00:26:53the particularity is that slaves could still attend
00:26:57the performances, so yes, but they weren't next to
00:27:00their masters, then. Technically they were in
00:27:04the "paradise" section so, the paradise or the
00:27:07"chicken coop", so the place where you could least see the
00:27:11performance ultimately.
00:27:15For me, Saint-Pierre has an important history, and it's also where
00:27:19the
00:27:22slavery took place on May 22nd. With a history
00:27:25as vibrant as that of Martinique, transmission is
00:27:29essential, even if ultimately the new generation
00:27:32prefers to transform the wounds of the past into strength to make their
00:27:36island grow. We are a people who were born in pain, in
00:27:40suffering, but we are still here, we are resilient, we fight every day
00:27:44and that's it, for me it's a source of pride, it's beautiful in fact
00:27:48to think that our ancestors fought for us. There is so
00:27:52much to do and develop here in Martinique concerning
00:27:56our history and for me it's important. And even if the
00:27:59studies are not here, you have to do your studies there and... come back to bring the
00:28:03culture here, that's what's important. Yes, it's possible
00:28:06to come back, I know it's not easy,
00:28:10you have to find opportunities, you have to seize
00:28:13opportunities, but yes yes, I encourage
00:28:17coming back and bringing, in any case, our
00:28:21history and showcasing it,
00:28:24transmitting it
00:28:25too.
00:28:30Growing up here is therefore growing up between two things: between the attachment
00:28:34one has for their island and the necessity sometimes to
00:28:37leave it.
00:28:39Emmanuel is only 18 years old, her future is not yet written, but like a whole
00:28:43generation, she will have to make a choice: leave
00:28:47or stay and live with what that choice entails.
