00:00:05news from around the world, live on France 24,
00:00:09with first his apologies deemed insufficient, those of Janny Infantino
00:00:13after his aborted offer to open the commercial exploitation of World Cups to private
00:00:17investors, the proposal still does not go down well with several
00:00:20confederations, particularly those in Latin America, which joins its voice to the
00:00:24criticisms expressed by UEFA, a new
00:00:27exchange of strikes between Ukraine and Russia with drones. launched on Russian
00:00:30refineries against attacks on several Ukrainian cities, which hopes
00:00:34to convince its Western allies to deliver anti-missile
00:00:36defenses. Israel, for its part, continues to strike Lebanon on the third
00:00:40day of ongoing negotiations in Rome with the Lebanese
00:00:43authorities. Clashes with Hezbollah have left two Israeli victims,
00:00:47soldiers killed by an explosive device.
00:00:48extremely hot, drink
00:01:02Janny Infantino's apologies
00:01:05refused. are clearly insufficient for UEFA, the European Football Confederation intends
00:01:09to maintain its boycott of international competitions, including the World
00:01:12Cups, after the project, although withdrawn a while ago, to open these
00:01:16last ones to international investors by the FIFA boss, Janny
00:01:20Infantino, who apologized for it, received the support of the organization yesterday during
00:01:23an emergency meeting in Rabat, but that's not enough to extinguish
00:01:27the fire, as the South American confederation. Conmebol
00:01:30comes out of its reserve, it in turn expresses its concern about,
00:01:34and I quote, "the repeated unilateral actions of FIFA", we'll take stock
00:01:38with Xavier Barret, independent journalist.
00:01:42Yes, we are now facing, regarding Janny Infantino's situation, a
00:01:45real outcry from almost all continents' representatives,
00:01:49and that's what's new. For a long time, FIFA
00:01:52relied on its stronghold, which was South
00:01:55America, also Africa, and then a part of Asia,
00:01:59particularly in the Middle East, to govern world football
00:02:03and be able to compete against UEFA, which
00:02:06remains the European Union, which remains the
00:02:10strong point of world football, the center of world football, and now not
00:02:13only is UEFA which has risen against
00:02:17Janny Infantino's way of governing for several days,
00:02:21several weeks already, but it is joined by a number of other
00:02:25continents, and that is a truly new element. We must remember that South
00:02:28America, for example, the... it was during the time of Joao Havelange,
00:02:32be observable in part of the Brazilian president of the international federation from
00:02:361960 to
00:02:391998, it was truly the
00:02:43stronghold of FIFA, and Sepp Blatter, when he succeeded
00:02:46Joao Havelange as president of FIFA, also relied, of course, on
00:02:50this South American stronghold, but also on the
00:02:54African federations and those of the Middle East to
00:02:58confront and defeat the European candidate, Lennart
00:03:02phone, I collapsed, Johansson, who was the candidate, the president of UEFA, so
00:03:05there's always this rivalry between the two, and now what
00:03:09explains UEFA's perseverance is that it feels
00:03:13that the FIFA president's position is for the first time in
00:03:16over 40 years truly weakened, not only
00:03:20vis-à-vis the Europeans, but vis-à-vis most of the federations worldwide. world.
00:03:23Ukraine and Russia are striking back and forth in recent hours, as Kyiv
00:03:27has again targeted Russian territory in depth,
00:03:31refineries up to 1300 km beyond the front line. Russian
00:03:34strikes have killed seven people on the Ukrainian side in the regions of
00:03:38Kharkiv, Sumy and the Black Sea. Another illustration of the
00:03:41lack of interceptor missiles, explanations in
00:03:44images by Nicolas Chamontin.
00:03:47Chamontin.
00:03:50Guided bombs fell around 2am in Sumy.
00:03:55the electrical power of In this city in northeastern Ukraine, a Russian attack damaged residential
00:03:57areas and shops and surprised residents,
00:04:01"it was as if aliens had arrived, the explosion was so
00:04:05powerful that everything was expelled from the apartment, I barely had time to
00:04:09Gianni Infantino after his aborted offer to open get out." Several people were injured in Sumy and
00:04:12several others killed in localities in
00:04:14promise of 30,000 euros in compensation from the region. Authorities also report casualties in
00:04:17the Kharkiv oblast, a little further east. Russian strikes that
00:04:21are in addition to those of Wednesday on the Kyiv region as well as on
00:04:25Kramatorsk. 500 children and their families who still lived in
00:04:29this eastern city had to be evacuated due to the violence of
00:04:32the attacks. If the Ukrainian army manages to intercept most
00:04:35of the drones, it has great difficulty stopping the
00:04:39missiles, a weakening attributed by President
00:04:42Zelensky to delays in the delivery of interceptors compared
00:04:46to
00:04:462025.
00:04:52anti-ballistic missiles to defend our state, this situation is
00:04:56mainly linked to the war,
00:05:07Last week, Volodymyr Zelensky again went to
00:05:10Washington to convince Donald Trump to deliver Patriot
00:05:14systems to him, the only ones capable of intercepting the most powerful
00:05:18Russian missiles, a request refused by the American
00:05:21president because of the shortage of Patriots in his stocks
00:05:24since the beginning of the war in the Middle East. At the same
00:05:28time, Kyiv continues its attacks in Russian territory. On Thursday,
00:05:31a fire broke out in this important refinery in the Yaroslavl
00:05:35region, about 250 km northeast of
00:05:38Moscow. According to the local governor, all drones launched
00:05:43were intercepted, but shrapnel hit storage tanks and
00:05:46injured several
00:05:48people.
00:05:50The continuation and end of negotiations in Rome between Israelis and
00:05:53Lebanese, they aim to allow a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli army from
00:05:57southern Lebanon in exchange for the disarmament of Hezbollah, but the
00:06:01Shiite movement refuses to lay down its arms and the Hebrew state
00:06:05continues to strike Lebanese territory. Two Israeli soldiers have
00:06:08died, Romain Michelot.
00:06:12of Lebanon, again traversed by Israeli flares. Here, in the
00:06:15south of the country, the army has resumed its bombardments and clashes with
00:06:19Hezbollah.
00:06:21In response to a blatant violation of the ceasefire by
00:06:25Hezbollah, the Israeli army began to conduct targeted strikes in
00:06:28southern Lebanon. At least one person has died on the Lebanese
00:06:32side. Two Israeli soldiers were killed in an explosion, the first
00:06:35in over a month. Sporadic but recurrent clashes despite a
00:06:39security agreement that came into force at the end of
00:06:42June. Israel occupies a so-called security zone in
00:06:46southern Lebanon, about ten kilometers near the
00:06:49border, but residents of towns and villages north of this
00:06:52zone can officially return home. In practice, this
00:06:56resumption of clashes and evacuation orders complicates this
00:07:00process, according to the UN. This new order
00:07:02comes as displaced families have returned home in southern
00:07:06Lebanon in recent weeks. The situation
00:07:09remains fragile, and residents remain in
00:07:13uncertainty. Demolition operations,
00:07:16bombardments, and other military activities damage homes,
00:07:20agricultural land, and civilian infrastructure. These clashes
00:07:24are taking place during a period of negotiations led in Rome under the auspices
00:07:27of the United States. They concern the deployment of the Lebanese army in pilot
00:07:31areas evacuated by Israel, but they involve the
00:07:34disarmament of Hezbollah, which the Shiite group has so far refused.
00:07:38Since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, at least
00:07:414300 people in Lebanon and 38 Israeli soldiers have
00:07:45died, according to the authorities.
00:07:47Israel, which is also locking down the West Bank,
00:07:51blocked roads, closed checkpoints like an applause after the death of
00:07:55two Israeli settlers and four Palestinians, that was on
00:07:59July 24th. For ambulances, it's a daily
00:08:02headache, Claire du Hamel on site, embedded
00:08:05with an ambulance driver who regularly transports pregnant women to the
00:08:09hospital.
00:08:12On this road, on July 27, a 6-month
00:08:15pregnant Palestinian woman had a miscarriage,
00:08:18then she was stopped at the checkpoint while she was bleeding
00:08:22out. Bashar Mouramar is the ambulance driver who
00:08:25was transporting the young woman, when
00:08:28we arrived, it was closed, where the ambulances are
00:08:31here, the soldiers are in this watchtower
00:08:34up high,
00:08:38of course the army only came down from the tower after a long time, then when we entered here.
00:08:42"They held us for half an hour, we entered here, this barrier was closed,
00:08:46they left us stuck for half an hour between these two barriers, the fetus was
00:08:50dead, it came out in the amniotic sac, the woman also had a
00:08:53hemorrhage and she lost consciousness, very quickly we started to
00:08:56take care of her, but the army forced us to cut the engine of the ambulance,
00:09:00stopped the ambulance, all the devices stopped, it has
00:09:04equipment here that works thanks to
00:09:07the ambulance, the medical devices stopped, no more
00:09:11monitors,
00:09:14nothing. This is where the woman who lost her baby lives and who wishes to remain
00:09:18anonymous. Five days after her miscarriage, she is still
00:09:22recovering with difficulty. Sabrine is the midwife who delivered her at
00:09:26home, and it was she who then saved her life in the ambulance.
00:09:30She recounts her interaction with a soldier at
00:09:32the checkpoint.
00:09:36I told the soldier that we had to help the mother so that she wouldn't die. He didn't listen to me, he
00:09:40raised his weapon at me, told me to go back to the ambulance, so I was scared, I went
00:09:44back, I did everything to keep the patient awake, and after half
00:09:48an hour, they opened the barrier for us, and we finally reached the hospital thanks to
00:09:51God, but unfortunately, she had lost a lot of
00:09:53blood.
00:09:57Upon arrival at Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, the young woman was taken
00:10:01care of by Dr. Rachael Hamous for 24
00:10:04hours. For 3 years we have suffered throughout
00:10:08Jordan from the problem of checkpoints and barriers, of course this has had
00:10:12an impact. on the ability of women and more generally patients to access
00:10:16hospitals, and it also affects the arrival of medical teams, all this
00:10:19obviously has negative consequences on the functioning of the hospital, both from
00:10:23a medical point of view and from...
00:10:26We contacted the Israeli army, which states that the
00:10:29ambulance personnel had not carried out the required prior
00:10:32coordination before arriving at the checkpoint.
00:10:36The army says it has no intention of delaying medical care and
00:10:40medical
00:10:40evacuations.
00:10:44The heatwave currently sweeping the northern hemisphere is not sparing
00:10:48Asia. After Japan, Korea is also experiencing a
00:10:52heatwave episode. Since May 15, no less than 19
00:10:55people have succumbed to the heat. To warn
00:10:59the residents of the agricultural regions of South Korea, drones are entering the scene,
00:11:03Noémie Roch.
00:11:06Above a field, a drone hums before
00:11:09delivering its message. It is
00:11:13water and take breaks in air-conditioned
00:11:15shelters.
00:11:18In the middle of a heatwave, these devices are now used
00:11:21to protect farmers from heat-related risks. We
00:11:25can monitor temperatures on the ground and
00:11:29in greenhouses in real time. If we spot
00:11:32areas that seem particularly dangerous, we send drones there to
00:11:35broadcast heat-related warnings. Valuable
00:11:39alerts for farmers. In
00:11:42this agricultural province in the east of the country, temperatures have
00:11:46exceeded 41 degrees in recent days.
00:11:50It's very useful, elderly farmers are often so absorbed in their work that they
00:11:54continue. without realizing the heat and that's where accidents happen, compared
00:11:58to last year, we are seeing a drop of about 30% in agricultural
00:12:01yields.
00:12:04the whole country is going through a historic heatwave,
00:12:07the president speaks of a national
00:12:09disaster,
00:12:11extreme heat of unprecedented scale continues day after
00:12:15day. I ask all ministries and local
00:12:18authorities to do everything possible to minimize the damage related to the
00:12:21heatwave by fully mobilizing all available
00:12:25personnel and resources. More frequent and intense heatwaves
00:12:29due to human-induced climate change, which also
00:12:32highlight profound inequalities.
00:12:35In the shadow of the air-conditioned buildings of this upscale neighborhood
00:12:39in Seoul, residents of one of the capital's last shantytowns
00:12:43are suffocating, waiting for the heatwave to
00:12:45subside.
00:12:48In a week, the sun will disappear for a few moments, a solar
00:12:51eclipse, it will even be visible in France. It will also
00:12:57Spain, an exceptional but dangerous spectacle to observe with the naked
00:13:01eye, even for a few seconds, only protection, special
00:13:04glasses that meet very strict standards, how are they made,
00:13:08how to recognize reliable models and where to get them,
00:13:12Lætitia Legendre and Justine Veil went to
00:13:15meet one of the manufacturers based in Alsace here in
00:13:19France,
00:13:22night in broad daylight as in 194. 99
00:13:26with this twilight atmosphere when the sun
00:13:29plays hide-and-seek with the moon, but to admire this eclipse you still need
00:13:33to be well equipped with appropriate glasses, you shouldn't look at the sun
00:13:36for too long anyway, so if you don't have the right glasses you can really damage your
00:13:40eyes, in recent weeks, this Alsatian manufacturer
00:13:44has been multiplying deliveries of protective glasses, hundreds
00:13:48of thousands of pairs specially designed to observe this phenomenon
00:13:51as rare as spectacular, the moon.
00:13:55which passes between the earth and the sun, preventing its
00:13:58light from reaching our planet, a spectacle to
00:14:02observe with opaque glasses, it is a filter
00:14:05that reflects the harmful rays of the sun
00:14:09outside and inside, the filter is black,
00:14:12it is a filter that restores the orange image of the
00:14:15sun, these protective glasses meet precise
00:14:18standards and are delivered with a certificate of conformity,
00:14:22at this optician's already about fifty have been
00:14:26sold at 3 euros each, it's
00:14:29now or never because apparently there won't be another
00:14:33one as complete for some time and maybe it will be the
00:14:36last of our lives. In 1999 in France, during
00:14:40the last total eclipse, some had improvised by rigging up
00:14:43glasses, at Bagnères, because even partial sunlight can
00:14:47pass through the eye and burn the retina in a matter of seconds,
00:14:50a painless burn with sometimes irreversible
00:14:53consequences. the sun's light ray will
00:14:57burn these cells that are fundamental, a black spot that
00:15:01is engraved a little bit in front of us, but this black spot
00:15:05never leaves and so when we look at people we no longer see their faces, we
00:15:09no longer see the center, we can no longer read, it is in
00:15:12Bayonne that the darkness will be the most important, almost
00:15:15total, the spectacle will be visible everywhere in France, but
00:15:19a week before the big night, the Directorate General of Health
00:15:22is concerned about possible stock shortages. glasses to
00:15:26observe the eclipse,
00:15:28stay with us, the news returns to France 24 live in one
00:15:31card.
00:15:52The tension is palpable in this command post of a Ukrainian
00:15:55unit.
00:16:00These soldiers see live on their screens Russian drones attacking their troops in
00:16:04Kupiansk, dozens of kilometers away.
00:16:37The deputy commander of the battalion himself almost died in Kupiansk. He
00:16:41was saved by two Brazilians while leading his unit into combat last December,
00:16:45an operation carried out mainly by
00:16:47Latin Americans which marked a major turning point by stopping the Russian
00:16:51advance after a year in which Ukraine had lost
00:16:55ground.
00:16:56terrain.
00:17:00was not under enemy control, so it was not a counter offensive, it was an operation to
00:17:04infiltrate the city, we had to find them and kick them out.
00:17:38Okay, the first Latinos to enlist in Ukraine came by
00:17:41themselves,
00:17:44then this Ukrainian soldier
00:17:48from Latin
00:17:48America.
00:17:54A friend told me, "Listen, I have 20 guys who want to come, but they
00:17:58don't have any money." So, I organized two flights at our
00:18:01expense, to show the Ukrainian army that it was possible to bring
00:18:05many people.
00:18:41the brigade pays for our plane tickets, for our meals and for our
00:18:44accommodation here in Bogota, it takes care of all the administrative
00:18:48travel formalities, when I heard about it, I seized
00:18:51this opportunity, it's what
00:18:53I was waiting for,
00:18:56for a February in Ukraine, Daero doesn't seem sufficiently
00:18:59equipped, they told me not to bring too much, I was
00:19:02very cold when I served in
00:19:04Israel.
00:19:09In this hotel, Daero, originally from Medellín, awaits his departure with
00:19:13other men, from elsewhere in Colombia, we enlist by
00:19:16vocation, moreover, it is a noble cause to go fight under a flag that is not
00:19:20ours, but that of a people who are attacked, it's a bit like my
00:19:24neighbor broke into my house,
00:19:28a feeling shared by many men here, but not everyone,
00:19:31what they know above all is that in Ukraine they
00:19:34will earn a much better salary than in Colombia.
00:19:38Here, when you leave the army, the best you can hope for is a job
00:19:42as a security guard, a security guard, yes, or a bodyguard,
00:19:45and if you don't stay in the army until retirement, then you don't even
00:19:49have a pension. Anyway, it's not enough to survive, you have to
00:19:53keep working, fighting for your survival and that of your
00:19:56family.
00:19:59At the airport, a representative of the Ukrainian army distributes their passports and
00:20:03boarding passes.
00:20:05Wishing to remain anonymous, he assures us that these men have been warned of the enormous
00:20:09risk they are taking. Daero thinks of his
00:20:13daughter. If anything ever happened to me, I want
00:20:17my brother to give my daughter a monthly pension until she is
00:20:20of age, but I am not going there thinking I will die, no, God will
00:20:23decide.
00:20:27There is no official count of Colombians killed in Ukraine,
00:20:31it could be a few hundred. Carlos
00:20:34Gonzalez was able to return home. He is a miracle survivor.
00:20:40Strongly attached to Ukraine, Carlos was able to renovate his house thanks to the money earned in
00:20:44combat,
00:20:48but he bears on his body.
00:20:51In May 2024, near Kherson, he survived a chemical attack,
00:20:55which killed two other Colombians from his
00:20:57unit, that's how they found
00:20:59me,
00:21:04I told the workers, stop work on the house, I'm going to
00:21:07Ukraine,
00:21:10but Carlos convinced me not to go, saying it was too
00:21:13dangerous and they wouldn't have let me into the military hospital anyway.
00:21:16façon,
00:21:30killed my father in 2002 and I had to leave my home on the plains when
00:21:34I was 15 because they wanted to recruit me, I always knew that
00:21:38communist countries supported the guerrillas, Russia,
00:21:41Cuba, Venezuela, so I identify with them also because of
00:21:45that.
00:21:47On his return from Ukraine, armed groups became interested in his experience
00:21:52with combat drones, but Carlos
00:21:55refusé.
00:21:58If you tell any armed group that you served in Ukraine, you become
00:22:02interesting. If someone wants to join a gang here or in Mexico,
00:22:06they can go to Ukraine and study drones. Yesterday I was talking to a
00:22:09friend, one of his comrades with whom he had fought in Zaporizhzhia,
00:22:13is now fighting alongside the guerrillas in the department of
00:22:15Cauca.
00:22:21In 2016, a peace agreement led to the disarmament of the
00:22:24FARC, but other insurgent groups remain active.
00:22:28More than 7 million people have been displaced by the fighting, among
00:22:31them Sandra Cordoba's family.
00:22:35On
00:22:38We don't know by what group he was kidnapped, but he
00:22:41disappeared. He was 25 or 26
00:22:44years old. My mother raised us
00:22:47alone.
00:23:29"I rarely come here, I don't like it, I don't like to think that he
00:23:33is
00:23:37there, as soon as I saw the +380 code for Ukraine
00:23:40appear, I knew something had happened to him,"
00:23:43arrivé,
00:23:46then the officer said alas, and I immediately
00:23:49threw the
00:23:52the next day, I dried my tears and contacted the embassy,
00:23:56they asked for my authorization for a cremation, it went
00:23:59fast, 45 days later, my brother's ashes were in
00:24:03Bogota, he wanted to have this experience,
00:24:07he was happy to have this experience,
00:24:10he said, it's another level sis, it's crazy
00:24:14here, he said everyone has to die one
00:24:17day, so let it be in Colombia,
00:24:20here one day I will
00:24:22die, and if I have to die doing what
00:24:26I love, so be it, we must respect
00:24:29that,
00:24:32if Nader's ashes were repatriated without difficulty, the money he earned in
00:24:36Ukraine is taking time to arrive. Sandra
00:24:39went to Kyiv to claim her inheritance, she had to stay there
00:24:43for several months, I don't know what
00:24:46happened, the bank said there was no bank account in my brother's name.
00:24:51"I was counting on that money to pay for my return
00:24:52ticket."
00:24:55Finally, a priest paid for her ticket. Sandra returned to
00:24:58Colombia on New Year's Eve, without her brother's balance, but with the
00:25:04the Ukrainian
00:25:04state.
00:25:08All these are the documents I brought back from Ukraine,
00:25:12translations, powers of attorney, everything is
00:25:14there.
00:25:17We provide the documents, we open bank accounts in Ukraine. and wait for
00:25:20the money to arrive,
00:25:24but for now, there are only 139 hryvnias, that's
00:25:27the money I deposited there.
00:25:31I imagined growing old in my son's
00:25:33arms,
00:25:39I thought he would take care of me when I was
00:25:41old,
00:25:44if the money doesn't arrive soon, Anna and her daughter could lose this
00:25:48house they mortgaged to... to pay for her brother's trip to
00:25:51Kyiv.
00:25:59it's cold, man.
00:26:03This situation is not systematic, for some the
00:26:06salaries arrive on time, for others not. These
00:26:10men asked to be demobilized after several exhausting months.
00:26:26They didn't pay me for this mission, only compensation for my severe injuries, then in
00:26:30December, I asked why I
00:26:32hadn't received my combat bonuses, they replied that I hadn't participated in
00:26:36an operation on the front line, I told them that we
00:26:40were in a village under constant attack and that we were only
00:26:43there because in the village where we were before, our house had been
00:26:46bombed.
00:26:49Finally, Katchoro decided to
00:26:51stay.
00:27:00In the streets of Dipro, this volunteer collects...
00:27:37Istanbul, a member of their group defects,
00:27:41someone allegedly bought him a ticket to
00:27:42Barcelona.
00:27:45We told him: "Brother, it's your life, you're an adult, it's your
00:27:48decision, but he could have been more honest, the one who
00:27:52bought him his ticket from Istanbul, could have bought him a ticket from Bogota, and
00:27:56Ukraine would not have wasted its
00:27:57money."
00:28:02"It's a great experience really, may we
00:28:05come out alive and go home, find our
00:28:07families, yes, see our families and do all
00:28:11the crazy things we've always dreamed of doing.
00:28:15As we were finishing this report, these men were waiting to be
00:28:18deployed in the Karkif region, probably in
00:28:22Kupyansk.
