00:00:00equality,
00:00:00news.
00:00:05Hello everyone and welcome, if you are joining us, the top story of this
00:00:08edition is the escalation in Yemen, the Houthis claim responsibility for the attack which
00:00:12killed at least 58 people among the governmental forces supported by
00:00:16Riyadh, it's the deadliest attack since the 2022
00:00:19truce. In Syria,
00:00:23Authority for Media and a bomb in a bus near Damascus killed two people last night. The attack occurred in
00:00:26Jaramana, a city with a Druze majority, no
00:00:30claim of responsibility has been made so far. Also in this
00:00:33newscast, an exceptional report filmed in Havana, Cuba, close
00:00:37to the inhabitants, between energy crisis and economic collapse,
00:00:40their daily life is punctuated by challenges.
00:00:56At least 58 soldiers killed in
00:00:58General of the Yemen, the Houthis claim the... attacks against Yemeni governmental forces
00:01:01supported by Saudi Arabia, it's the deadliest toll
00:01:05since the 2022 truce, the day before the
00:01:08Houthis had attacked a second oil tanker in the Red
00:01:11Sea, with Lohic Chalavon. After
00:01:15several attacks in the Red Sea against Saudi oil tankers, the
00:01:18Houthis strike this time on solid
00:01:20press and information ground. A direct response according to them, to the
00:01:23reinforced support of Saudi Arabia to the Yemeni governmental forces
00:01:26for several weeks.
00:01:32This is the end of this Africa news, thank you for This operation allowed us to kill and wound many Saudi
00:01:36mercenaries, to destroy and burn a large number of camps and
00:01:39weapons depots of the Saudi enemy in the east of
00:01:42the country,
00:01:44as well as to destroy a large number of military vehicles stationed in
00:01:48the targeted
00:01:49camps.
00:01:53According to an anonymous military source, Houthi drones and missiles struck
00:01:57several military camps in the province of Marib in the center of the
00:02:00country and in Hadhramaut near the border with Saudi
00:02:03Arabia. This is the deadliest toll since 2022 between the two
00:02:07camps. The Yemeni government has announced that it will retaliate at the right
00:02:11time and place. Since 2014, a proxy war
00:02:15Boulevard de has been taking place in Yemen between the Houthi rebels, allies of Iran, and the Yemeni government
00:02:18supported by Riyadh and Washington. In
00:02:212022, a fragile truce came into effect, but it broke
00:02:25down last month when the Houthis welcomed an Iranian plane in
00:02:28Sanaa.
00:02:34The Houthis then announced a maritime blockade of Saudi ports and began targeting
00:02:38the kingdom's oil tankers.
00:02:41We warn the Saudi enemy against any reckless action
00:02:45against our country and our people. They will have to bear the
00:02:49consequences of any
00:02:50escalation.
00:02:53According to a senior Saudi official. Several intelligence
00:02:56services claim that Iraqi militias are preparing attacks on Saudi
00:03:00territory in coordination with the Yemeni Houthis and under the
00:03:03direction of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Saudi Arabia
00:03:07indicates that it will take the necessary measures to respond to any
00:03:09aggression.
00:03:12And last night another Houthi attack was perpetrated on Saudi
00:03:15soil. In the Najran region near the border with Yemen,
00:03:19civilians were injured. The deterioration of the situation in the Middle East
00:03:23as a whole is pushing Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey to
00:03:26accelerate their mutual defense agreement. The heads of state of the three
00:03:30countries are to meet today in Jeddah to sign it at a
00:03:33summit, discussions had already been initiated, but the worsening
00:03:37tensions have prompted the three countries to sign as quickly as
00:03:41possible.
00:03:45In Syria, a bomb in a bus near
00:03:46Patrice Talon returns to the forefront, Damascus, killed two people last night, the attack occurred in
00:03:50Jaramana, a city with a Druze majority and which had already been the
00:03:53scene of violent clashes last year. We take stock with Alice
00:03:57Broga.
00:04:00at the scene of the tragedy in Jaramana in the suburbs of Damascus, chaos
00:04:03reigns before the arrival of emergency services, this public
00:04:06transport minibus has just been destroyed by a bomb, its roof blown off by
00:04:12immediately, here is a new news report, headlining
00:04:12effect. UEFA member federations have been the explosion, the inhabitants are in shock,
00:04:16we came out and saw the minibus, it was making a deafening
00:04:19noise and was damaged, two women fled the explosion and a fragment
00:04:22went towards our shop, a shell fragment flew in my direction and hit the
00:04:26window, the explosion was caused
00:04:30by a bomb located inside the vehicle, according to state
00:04:33television, several people died and a dozen injured
00:04:37were transported to the hospital in Damascus, including the minibus
00:04:41driver.
00:04:43killing innocent people who have done nothing wrong, simply to sow chaos in the country
00:04:47in Syria, it is a purely sadistic act. This
00:04:50explosion strikes a predominantly Druze and Christian city, two
00:04:54communities that feel threatened under the
00:04:57first discuss the visit of the WHO new Syrian regime led by the former jihadist Ahmad.
00:05:00Last year, sectarian violence between armed groups linked to the government
00:05:04and Druze fighters killed more than 100 people in Jaramana and the
00:05:08surrounding area, according to the London-based SOHR NGO
00:05:11and several attacks. or attempted attacks targeted Christian places of worship
00:05:14in recent
00:05:15months.
00:05:19The new Syrian government is struggling to establish its authority and ensure security
00:05:23throughout the territory where dormant cells of the Islamic
00:05:27State jihadist organization are still present. In Damascus, several
00:05:31deadly attacks have occurred in recent months, including a bomb attack that
00:05:34killed one person and injured 36 during the visit of French President
00:05:38Emmanuel Macron in July.
00:05:43Also in the news, fires in France with more than
00:05:4713,500 fires or fire starts and nearly 12,000 hectares of
00:05:51forest already burned this year 2026 is breaking records,
00:05:54most of the time the cause of fires is human, sometimes it's
00:05:58a poorly extinguished cigarette butt thrown out of a car window.
00:06:02Today, MP Yannick Neder believes that tobacco
00:06:06manufacturers should be made to pay.
00:06:09A simple gesture but far from...
00:06:12insignificant, a cigarette butt, can be the cause
00:06:16of a fire, and ravage hundreds of hectares
00:06:19in a few hours. Hello sir, where are you from? If one
00:06:23in 5 smokers throws their butt out the window, this
00:06:27summer, the authorities have multiplied surveillance
00:06:30operations. We come from a region where it burns,
00:06:33so it's not bad to raise awareness among people, because
00:06:37right now we're not kidding, it just takes
00:06:41a cigarette butt and... it's not the number that makes the danger, it's the act of doing
00:06:45it and we must continue to raise awareness among people. So, should we
00:06:48tax cigarettes again? This is what
00:06:51is proposed by the MP and former Minister of Health Yannick
00:06:55Neuder, a tax that could bring in, according to him,
00:06:58350 million euros to finance fire
00:07:02prevention. There were already behaviors that
00:07:05sanctioned smokers who throw their cigarette butts, but
00:07:09there was nothing at the level of tobacco manufacturers.
00:07:13on this fight against environmental impact. In
00:07:162021, a single cigarette butt thrown on a highway rest area in
00:07:20Le Var had caused the mega-fire of Gonfaron, 7000
00:07:23hectares had gone up in smoke.
00:07:27New offensive by Donald Trump against birthright citizenship, the American
00:07:31president has just signed an executive order to prevent
00:07:34birth tourism. This involves foreigners going to the United
00:07:38States to give birth and for the child to obtain American
00:07:41citizenship. A month ago, his previous executive order, challenging
00:07:45birthright citizenship, had been rejected by the Supreme Court. Let's listen to
00:07:49Donald
00:07:49Trump.
00:07:53The Supreme Court made a very regrettable decision regarding birthright
00:07:57citizenship. The vote was close but the decision is very
00:08:01regrettable. So we are going to make adjustments because it is very
00:08:04unfair. This rule was established for another reason. It was
00:08:08just after the Civil War, it was for the children of slaves. But
00:08:11today, what is happening is that wealthy people are doing business around
00:08:15this birthright citizenship, it should not work like that, it's a
00:08:18shame, they are buying their access to
00:08:21citizenship.
00:08:27The inauguration ceremony of Abelardo de la Espriella, the
00:08:30new president of Colombia, is to take place
00:08:34today. He therefore takes office after his election last June 21, close to
00:08:37Donald Trump, he had campaigned on the fight against drug
00:08:40trafficking. Moreover. He preferred the city of Cali to the capital
00:08:44Bogota for his inauguration, Cali,
00:08:47a city marked by violence linked to drug
00:08:50trafficking.
00:08:54He had to backtrack, but the pressure on Gianni
00:08:58Infantino does not subside despite the apologies from part of the
00:09:01FIFA leadership, UEFA maintains its boycott of the World
00:09:05Cups and for its part, CONMEBOL, which manages South American
00:09:08football, distances itself from the president's
00:09:11methods.
00:09:16The apologies from the FIFA leadership are useless,
00:09:19UEFA ensures that the boycott of the World Cups is still in
00:09:25very clear on the conditions related to their non-participation
00:09:29in FIFA competitions. These conditions have not been
00:09:32met. In addition to abandoning FIFA's commercial
00:09:35company project, decided Friday, the European football
00:09:38body demands assurances that such an idea will never see the light of day.
00:09:47Wednesday evening, the head of world football received the full support of his
00:09:51leadership, gathered in Morocco for a crisis meeting. In a
00:09:55statement, FIFA apologized after the controversy
00:09:58over opening up to private investors, a project
00:10:01that leaked to the press without the football stakeholders being
00:10:05informed. This Thursday, the South American Confederation
00:10:08Conmebol, although reputed to be close to Infantino, has in turn
00:10:12denounced the President's methods. The Conmebol Council unanimously
00:10:16expresses its concern about repeated unilateral
00:10:20actions, adopted without resorting to dialogue or the institutional
00:10:23mechanisms provided for the handling of this type of
00:10:26situation, apparently unmovable a few
00:10:29weeks ago, Gianni Infantino seems more fragile than
00:10:32ever, he who has led FIFA for a decade still hopes
00:10:36to be re-elected next March thanks to the support of
00:10:39many federations in Africa and the
00:10:41Middle East.
00:10:44Typhoon alert in Japan, 26,000 inhabitants of the
00:10:47southwest of the country have been ordered to evacuate, more than 500
00:10:51flights have been canceled today, the winds accompanying
00:10:55this category 1 typhoon could reach 200
00:10:58km/h and very heavy rains are also
00:11:01expected.
00:11:06This is an exceptional report, filmed in Havana, Cuba, where
00:11:09the daily life of the population is a real ordeal. The energy
00:11:13crisis is compounded by an unprecedented economic collapse while
00:11:17Washington multiplies sanctions, between American pressure
00:11:20and internal crisis, Cubans try to hold on day after
00:11:23day.
00:11:27I braid my
00:11:28child's hair,
00:11:37like many to be able to live decently,
00:11:51times are harder than ever on the communist island.
00:11:56there is no more tourism, everything is empty, no
00:11:59customers, no one left to cut hair,
00:12:03look at this empty hotel, not a customer coming out, it hurts. In
00:12:06January, Washington tightened its
00:12:10energy blockade, followed by new sanctions against companies
00:12:13operating in
00:12:14Cuba.
00:12:19The fall of tourism, one of the country's main sources of
00:12:22revenue, affects the entire economy.
00:12:55and it is we, the Cubans on the street, who
00:12:56pay for them,
00:12:59without electricity, without sufficient currency, all
00:13:03institutions, like banks, are running
00:13:05slowly,
00:13:08I'm waiting to get my salary, people are annoyed, they
00:13:12are screaming, I don't even have money to buy
00:13:14food,
00:13:17several days waiting at the bank to get a salary or a
00:13:20pension, tempers are flaring, Cubans are
00:13:23tired.
00:13:26Civil servants like Tania, the teacher who braids hair in the
00:13:29center, earn a negligible
00:13:31income,
00:13:34I earn 6 dollars a month, and that's really not enough, I have to buy
00:13:38everything, clothes, shoes, and if I think about shoes for the
00:13:41children, I can forget about food,
00:13:44the lack of electricity worsens already precarious living
00:13:47conditions, only one hour of electricity per day, often
00:13:51less, there is nothing in it, if there was something that.
00:14:12This is a butcher shop where people do their shopping, a private
00:14:15butcher shop, 7 dollars, the bag of chicken, more than my
00:14:18salary, suddenly, a woman
00:14:22intervenes, an authorization is needed to be
00:14:26able to. The Committees for the Defense of the Revolution are still there, but they are less
00:14:30active, worn out by the crisis. Tania, she has nothing to
00:14:34reproach herself for.
00:14:37I love my island, I am a revolutionary, and even if I don't have
00:14:40anything to eat, I love our commander Fidel Castro, when he
00:14:44died, I cried for him.
00:14:47Between political pressure and economic collapse, Cubans
00:14:51survive day by day, without seeing the end of the road.
00:14:57Continuous information on France 24, stay with us, have a very nice day,
00:15:13good evening everyone, welcome to France 24, we will be together for about ten minutes for the
00:15:16Africa news, we start with the headlines of this edition, we will
00:15:22chief to the Democratic Republic of Congo, he affirms that he wants to
00:15:26intensify the response against Ebola and better protect health
00:15:29personnel, while in the country many doctors claim not to have received any
00:15:33salary in recent months.
00:15:36Textile factories. They may have to close in South Africa,
00:15:40many positions are vacant since the departure of migrants
00:15:44at the end of June, driven by anti-foreign protests,
00:15:47since then it has been difficult to find
00:15:49labor.
00:15:51And then we'll go to Rwanda where cinema has gained popularity in recent months
00:15:55since the Golden Camera won at Cannes by the feature film
00:15:58Benimana, Rwandans flock to movie theaters and outdoor
00:16:02festivals.
00:16:03air.
00:16:07The response against Ebola must be intensified, this is what the head of the World
00:16:11Health Organization declared earlier. He has been visiting the Democratic
00:16:15Republic of Congo since yesterday. Since
00:16:18May 15, more than 3,900 cases have been
00:16:21recorded in the country, including 1,801 deaths.
00:16:25Earlier, a suspected case was reported on a boat heading to
00:16:28Kinshasa. The man died with symptoms
00:16:31consistent with those of the Ebola virus. Let's listen to the Director-
00:16:35WHO.
00:16:40I think one of the peculiarities of this
00:16:43epidemic is its unprecedented speed,
00:16:46it is spreading really, really
00:16:48fast
00:16:50and I'm not going to hide what I
00:16:54feel, I am deeply very
00:16:58concerned by the situation on the
00:17:00ground.
00:17:04But as our report says, five other provinces
00:17:07are already affected.
00:17:13The head of the WHO also calls for better protection of health
00:17:17personnel, and indeed, on the front line, doctors and
00:17:20nurses denounce their working conditions, they claim not to
00:17:24have been paid since the beginning of the crisis despite a strike in July, the story
00:17:28by Noemie Roche:
00:17:32every day, the same ritual, Wiza Bandelé
00:17:35puts on his suit and disinfection
00:17:37equipment before tackling a house whose occupants
00:17:41died of the Ebola virus, essential
00:17:44actions to hope to curb the spread of the
00:17:48virus that continues to plague the country.
00:17:52However, since the beginning of his mission in mid-May, Wiza
00:17:55has still not received any salary. In
00:17:58July, he joined other health workers to go on
00:18:01strike.
00:18:04We went on strike because we observed that we were working in conditions.
00:18:11We operate in risky situations, it can happen
00:18:14that a patient vomits blood, we then have to
00:18:17clean up.
00:18:20In July, the Congolese Minister of Health acknowledged payment delays
00:18:24attributed to organizational problems, assuring that they
00:18:27would be resolved. Since then, some of his colleagues have indeed
00:18:31been paid, but only in part according to Wiza. He
00:18:34claims to have still received nothing and
00:18:38continues to work 7 days a week, despite the risks to which he is
00:18:41exposed. I could contract this
00:18:44virus. And subsequently, contaminate my family and my
00:18:48neighbors. So I realize that because of me, many
00:18:52people could
00:18:53die.
00:18:56Despite the fear, Wiza refuses to leave his post for
00:18:59now, guided by a sense of duty, a mission
00:19:03all the more crucial as this epidemic has now surpassed that of 2018
00:19:07in terms of case numbers, according to Congolese authorities, more than
00:19:118,370 cases have been confirmed, including
00:19:141,751 deaths since the start of the epidemic in
00:19:18May. 2 months after leaving power,
00:19:24the former Beninese head of state has been elected president of the
00:19:28Senate, a 5-year term that makes him today, the
00:19:31third most important figure in the country after the president and the
00:19:35vice-president of the Republic.
00:19:39Is this a sign that Senegal is regaining its colors? In any case, the
00:19:43World Bank has decided to grant it funding of 340
00:19:47billion CFA francs. The country was almost
00:19:50blacklisted by international partners since the crisis with
00:19:53the International Monetary Fund over the hidden debt issue. Details
00:19:57from our correspondent in Dakar
00:19:59Elimandao.
00:20:01This global funding of 340 billion CFA
00:20:05francs is intended for several. such
00:20:08as agriculture, energy or transport,
00:20:12this announcement was made during an audience granted by President
00:20:15Bassirou Diomaye, to the Vice President of the World Bank,
00:20:18Ousmane Diagana, the World Bank has especially
00:20:22decided on direct budgetary support to the
00:20:25Senegalese state, budgetary support which is welcome in a
00:20:28difficult economic context, Senegal which has been going through several
00:20:32months of crisis and tension on its public finances
00:20:36linked notably to the service. the debt that the country has
00:20:39decided to honor as best it can, this
00:20:43announcement of new funding from the World Bank is a positive
00:20:46signal according to government officials, a
00:20:49positive signal towards more favorable economic
00:20:52tomorrows, Senegal which aims notably for an agreement with the International
00:20:56Monetary Fund on a new program to
00:20:59restore its credibility on the
00:21:02international market and attract more new
00:21:05investors.
00:21:08A decision that is causing a lot of talk in Chad, that of the High
00:21:13Audiovisual which suspends until further notice the examination of
00:21:16requests for the creation of online newspapers, the regulator
00:21:20states that it wants to better regulate this rapidly expanding sector and thus
00:21:24fight against disinformation. Listen to our correspondent Anne
00:21:28Jamena Gislen Anataroum.
00:21:31This is a decision that challenges media stakeholders. The High
00:21:34Authority for Media and Audiovisual freezes the examination of applications
00:21:38for the creation of new online newspapers. The measure is part
00:21:42of, according to the regulator, the implementation of its strategic plan
00:21:452026-2028.
00:21:50with the ambition of sanitizing the sector and better responding
00:21:53to the informational abuses observed on digital
00:21:57platforms. While the Association of Online Media of Chad
00:22:00Ahmed says it understands the need for better
00:22:03regulation, it believes that this objective must remain
00:22:07compatible with freedom of the
00:22:10pluralism. The organization notably questions
00:22:13the link established between the suspension of new
00:22:17authorizations and the fight against disinformation. This is a
00:22:20decree line between freedom of expression, the various
00:22:24sources of information, did we need, for example, to
00:22:27suspend the creation of new
00:22:31sites, new information sites or new online
00:22:34media to
00:22:35fight
00:22:39the proliferation of fake pages on the net, I don't
00:22:42think so, now the decision has been made and that's why I'm telling you
00:22:45that it's this somewhat unhealthy link that bothers us in the association.
00:22:50we suspend and then we say that there is a proliferation of
00:22:53Facebook pages or pages but
00:22:57Facebook pages not media. Lamed
00:23:00nevertheless says it remains open to dialogue and declares itself willing to
00:23:04accompany the Ama in the search for a consensual
00:23:07regulatory framework. For its part, the regulatory authority
00:23:11insists on the temporary nature of this suspension. It announces
00:23:15the upcoming opening of consultations with sector
00:23:18stakeholders in order to define
00:23:20a new governance model for online media.
00:23:24Several factories at a standstill in South Africa, a situation
00:23:27caused by the departure of many migrants after weeks of
00:23:31anti-foreigner protests. Some positions are
00:23:34vacant. This is the case in Newcastle in the northwest of the
00:23:38country. More details with Laurent
00:23:39Berstécher.
00:23:44This South African textile factory has been running slowly
00:23:47for weeks here. entire
00:23:50rows of sewing machines are left abandoned since the departure
00:23:53of foreign workers. Most
00:23:57fled the country following anti-immigrant demonstrations and the
00:24:00factory director is struggling today to replace
00:24:02them.
00:24:05We cannot immediately replace this expertise with
00:24:09local workers, it takes time and we were not
00:24:12prepared.
00:24:14Since March, South Africa has been shaken by violent demonstrations
00:24:17and attacks against migrants. The organizers
00:24:21of these rallies accuse foreign workers of stealing jobs from
00:24:25native South Africans and see them as the cause of the country's
00:24:29economic difficulties, violence that recently forced more
00:24:32than 16,000 foreign nationals to leave South
00:24:36Africa. In Newcastle, a hub of the textile
00:24:39industry located in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, approximately
00:24:4315% of the workforce fled. Since then, companies
00:24:46have been struggling to convince qualified workers to commit.
00:24:54I think young South Africans prefer to look for more
00:24:57comfortable jobs, they want to be nurses or cashiers because
00:25:01the textile industry is very tough, you sit on this
00:25:04bench for about 9 hours a day, it's not an easy
00:25:07job.
00:25:10For others, these jobs are simply not well
00:25:13paid enough. Here workers are often paid per item
00:25:17produced and earn less. that the... South
00:25:20African minimum wage,
00:25:23we're now going to talk about cinema. We're taking you to Rwanda, Kigali, where
00:25:27the sector is booming. Many cinemas
00:25:30have been rehabilitated, and open-air festivals have been organized
00:25:34in recent weeks. This is partly due to the
00:25:37success at Cannes of a Rwandan feature film, Benïmana, which won
00:25:41the Golden Camera. Watch this report from Kigali by Aurore
00:25:44Baylou.
00:25:47In the streets of Nyamirambo, the director. scouts for
00:25:51locations for his first feature film. In Rwanda,
00:25:55for lack of a real industry, cinema has long been invented solely
00:25:58by the strength of its directors. It has something specific.
00:26:03for filmmakers here, I don't know if it's because
00:26:05it's a small country or a small
00:26:09town, but it has a sense of
00:26:12community, we had common problems,
00:26:14so mutual aid
00:26:18and collaboration was a necessity. A
00:26:22its ashes, closed in
00:26:252019, this 70s cinema was saved by two young
00:26:29directors who made it the last cinema in the country in...
00:26:35We believe that films are not only there to entertain, they also have a
00:26:38depth, they transmit a lot of things and today at a time when we are constantly
00:26:42bombarded with content and people spend their time scrolling through images on
00:26:46their phone, we don't want what we offer to be reduced to just
00:26:49watching a few images, there is a real selection behind our programming, further
00:26:53down on the esplanade of Imbuga City Walk, a
00:26:56giant screen hosts open-air screenings of the Kigali Cine
00:27:00Junction festival which is celebrating its 4th edition. That evening, the
00:27:04blind couple from Mali, a musical portrait of Amadou and Mariam, is on the
00:27:07bill. When these films are made by Africans, they bring something richer,
00:27:11more nuanced, because they are nourished by lived
00:27:14experiences. And it's also important that we are there to see them and support
00:27:18them, so we can learn, we can see our own stories on
00:27:22screen. For the first time, Rwandan filmmakers no longer have to
00:27:26wait for foreign funding. The state has also started
00:27:29co-financing.
00:27:34watching, stay with us on France
