00:00:00Yemen between the rebels, allies of
00:00:00news.
00:00:07Hello everyone, very happy to welcome you back to France 24, you're joining
00:00:11us for the headlines, that's an excellent idea, right now, here's a new news bulletin, headlining
00:00:14international news this Friday, this question, will the specter
00:00:18of sectarian violence resurface in Syria, a
00:00:22car bomb attack in a Christian and Druze suburb of
00:00:25Damascus kills two and injures more than a dozen this Thursday,
00:00:29a... new deadly attack in the Syrian
00:00:32capital in a matter of months, as you'll see, we'll also discuss in the
00:00:36headlines the explosive situation also in the occupied West
00:00:39Bank, a new episode of violence by Israeli
00:00:42settlers in a Palestinian village, resulting in many
00:00:47inhabitants. injured and burned houses, violence that sparks outrage, as you'll
00:00:51years of see, among Israeli Arabs, and then we'll also
00:00:54talk in the headlines about a man more than ever in
00:00:57turmoil, Gianni Infantino, the all-powerful... head of FIFA
00:01:00is more fragile than ever, UEFA is
00:01:04maintaining its boycott of the competitions of the
00:01:06world football organization after the aborted project
00:01:10to open FIFA to external
00:01:13investors, details in your edition.
00:01:28So there are your headlines. This question, then,
00:01:31remain in office? The head of first of all, to start your edition, is Syria heading again towards instability and
00:01:35violence? Concern is in any case present after the explosion of a
00:01:39bomb in a vehicle this Thursday near Damascus, with two
00:01:42dead and 13 injured, as I told you, the attack
00:01:46occurred in Jaramana, a
00:01:48The Congo pavilion of predominantly Druze and Christian town located in the suburbs of
00:01:51the Syrian capital and already the scene of sectarian
00:01:55violence back in the spring of 2025. Alice
00:01:58Broga. At the scene of the tragedy in Jaramana, in the suburbs
00:02:02of Damascus, chaos reigns
00:02:05to their non-participation in FIFA before the arrival of aid, this public transport minibus has
00:02:08just been destroyed by a bomb, its roof blown off by
00:02:10the explosion. The residents are in
00:02:14shock.
00:02:16We came out and saw the minibus, it made a deafening noise, it was
00:02:20damaged, two women fled the explosion and a fragment flew towards our
00:02:23store, a shell fragment flew in my direction and hit the
00:02:26display case. The explosion was caused
00:02:30the ceremony will appease... the members of by a bomb located inside the vehicle, according to state
00:02:33television, several people died and a dozen injured
00:02:37were transported to the hospital in Damascus, including the driver of
00:02:41the minibus.
00:02:43killing innocent people who have done nothing wrong, simply to sow chaos in the country
00:02:47in Syria, it is a purely sadistic act. This
00:02:51explosion strikes a predominantly Druze and Christian city, two
00:02:54communities that feel threatened under the new Syrian regime led by
00:02:58former jihadist Ahmad. "Last year, sectarian violence
00:03:01between armed groups linked to the government and Druze fighters left
00:03:05more than 100 dead in Jaramana and the surrounding areas, according to the
00:03:09London-based NGO OSD, and several attacks or planned attacks
00:03:13have targeted Christian places of worship in recent months.
00:03:15The new Syrian government is struggling to establish its
00:03:19authority and ensure
00:03:23security throughout the territory, where
00:03:26dormant cells of the jihadist Islamic State organization are still present.
00:03:30In Damascus, several deadly attacks have occurred in recent months, including a bomb
00:03:34attack that left one dead and 36 injured during the visit of French
00:03:37President Emmanuel Macron in
00:03:39July.
00:03:44In the Middle East, the consequences of the conflict between
00:03:46Iran and the United States are multiplying in Yemen, the Houthi
00:03:50rebels have launched their largest attack against Yemeni governmental
00:03:53forces in years, with a toll of
00:03:56the ambulance's electrical 58 dead and here targets hit
00:03:59also in Saudi Arabia,
00:04:01all over the world, these players from an ally of the central government, this is also the resumption of a conflict
00:04:04after a ceasefire concluded in
00:04:072022.
00:04:11After several attacks in the Red Sea against Saudi oil tankers, the
00:04:15Houthis are striking this time on land, a direct response
00:04:18according to them to Saudi Arabia's increased support for
00:04:22Yemeni governmental forces for several
00:04:24weeks.
00:04:30operation has killed and wounded many Saudi mercenaries, and destroyed and
00:04:34burned a large number of camps and weapons depots of the Saudi enemy in
00:04:38the east of the country,
00:04:41as well as destroying a large number of military vehicles stationed in the targeted
00:04:45camps.
00:04:49According to an anonymous military source, Houthi drones and missiles struck
00:04:53several military camps in Marib province in the center of the country
00:04:56and Hadramout province near the border with Saudi Arabia. This is
00:05:00the deadliest toll since 2022 between the two sides. The
00:05:04Yemeni government announced that it would retaliate at the opportune
00:05:07time and place. Since 2014, a proxy war has been raging in
00:05:11negative consequences for the functioning of Iran, and the Yemeni
00:05:14government, supported by Riyadh and Washington. In
00:05:172022, a fragile truce came into effect, but it
00:05:21shattered last month when the Houthis welcomed an Iranian plane to
00:05:25Sana'a, violating Saudi control over Yemeni
00:05:28airspace. The Houthis then announced a naval
00:05:31blockade of Saudi ports and began targeting the kingdom's
00:05:34oil tankers.
00:05:37We warn the Saudi enemy against any reckless action
00:05:41against our country and our people, they will
00:05:44bear the consequences of any
00:05:46escalation.
00:05:49According to a senior Saudi official, several intelligence services confirm that Iraqi
00:05:53Shiite militias are preparing attacks on Saudi territory in
00:05:57coordination with the Yemeni Houthis and under the direction of the
00:06:00Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Saudi Arabia indicates that it
00:06:03will take necessary measures to respond to any
00:06:05aggression.
00:06:08And still in the Middle East, in the occupied West Bank, now these new acts of violence
00:06:12by... Israeli settlers, they affected a hamlet located
00:06:15in the south of the Palestinian territory, destroyed houses,
00:06:19injured residents and fires in particular, you
00:06:23can see it in these images, endemic violence in the Palestinian
00:06:26territory, as you know, which also causes, as you can see, the
00:06:30anger of Israeli Arabs, you will see it, the
00:06:33latter demonstrated in Tel Aviv in particular to
00:06:36denounce systemic racism from settlers
00:06:40and the Israeli police, listen.
00:06:45"We are here against the so-called Garinim
00:06:48Toranim, these are very violent settler outposts present within
00:06:52Palestinian communities, and that's not to be
00:06:56neighbors, but to push them out, to make them
00:06:58flee, as they have been doing in the West Bank for
00:07:02years, so we came here together to say "enough
00:07:05is enough" to fight against these
00:07:07racists.
00:07:13We are here to say no to endemic violence against the Arab
00:07:16community, violence mainly perpetrated
00:07:20by police officers against Arabs, Muslims, for no
00:07:24apparent reason or for a minimal
00:07:26provocation.
00:07:28And this violence is proof of the systemic racism that prevails in this
00:07:32government, it creates a dangerous environment for
00:07:35children, for everyone, and this is not
00:07:37acceptable.
00:07:41And you've just heard that this violence in Jordan is not new, since the
00:07:45attacks of October 7, it has even sharply increased, and as with each episode,
00:07:49well, Israel locks down the territory like a snail,
00:07:52especially after the death of two Israeli settlers and four Palestinians,
00:07:56that was on July 24 last year, for
00:07:59ambulances in particular, it's a real headache every day, our correspondent Claire
00:08:03Duamell was able to embark with an ambulance driver who regularly
00:08:06transports pregnant women to the hospital. Watch her
00:08:10report.
00:08:13On this road, on July 27, a six-month
00:08:16pregnant Palestinian woman had a miscarriage,
00:08:20then she was stopped at the checkpoint while bleeding
00:08:23heavily. Bachar Mouramar is the ambulance driver who
00:08:26transported the young woman. When
00:08:29we arrived, it was closed, where the ambulances
00:08:32are. The soldiers are in this watchtower
00:08:36up high.
00:08:40Of course, the army only came down from the tower after a long time.
00:08:46Then when we got here, they held us for half an hour, we got here, this barrier was closed, they left us for half an hour stuck between these two
00:08:49barriers, the fetus was dead, it came out in the amniotic
00:08:53sac, the woman also had a hemorrhage and lost
00:08:56consciousness, very quickly we started to treat her, but the army forced us to
00:09:00turn off the ambulance engine, stopped the ambulance, all the machines
00:09:04stopped, there are equipments here that work thanks to
00:09:08power, the medical devices stopped, no more...
00:09:42his weapon at me and told me to go back into the ambulance, so I was scared, I went
00:09:45back, I did everything to keep the patient awake, and after half
00:09:49an hour, they opened the barrier for us, she was finally able to reach the hospital thanks to
00:09:53God, but unfortunately, she had lost a lot of
00:09:55blood.
00:09:59Arriving at Rafidia Hospital in Nablus, the young woman was taken
00:10:02care of by Dr. Racha Al Hamous for 24
00:10:05hours. For 3 years now, we have been suffering throughout the West
00:10:09Bank from the problem of checkpoints and barriers. Of course, this has
00:10:13had an impact on the ability of women and, more generally, patients to
00:10:17access hospitals, and it also affects the arrival of medical
00:10:20teams. All of this obviously has
00:10:23the hospital, both from a medical point of view and for nursing
00:10:26care. We contacted the Israeli army, which
00:10:30states that the ambulance staff had not performed the required
00:10:34prior coordination before arriving at the checkpoint.
00:10:37The army says it has no intention of delaying medical care and medical
00:10:41evacuations.
00:10:42In the United States, Donald
00:10:47Trump is once again hardening
00:10:50his immigration policy. At least in words, the American president has
00:10:54signed a new decree intended to prevent,
00:10:57according to him, birth tourism, which is a practice consisting
00:11:01of certain women giving birth in the United States so that their
00:11:05children benefit from American citizenship,
00:11:08a new attempt by the American president to challenge birthright
00:11:12citizenship.
00:11:13Listen to him.
00:11:17The Supreme Court made a very regrettable decision regarding
00:11:20the acquisition of citizenship by birth. The vote was
00:11:23close but the decision is very... on the table, so we're going to make
00:11:26adjustments because it's very unfair. This rule was
00:11:29established for another reason, it was right after the Civil War, it was for the
00:11:33children of slaves. But today, what's happening is that
00:11:37wealthy people are doing business around this birthright
00:11:40citizenship. It shouldn't work like that, it's a shame, they're
00:11:44buying their access to
00:11:45citizenship.
00:11:51So, this question now, how long can Gianni Infantino still
00:11:56FIFA has never seemed so weakened after his
00:12:00desire to open FIFA to foreign investors,
00:12:03now abandoned, UEFA is maintaining its
00:12:06boycott of FIFA World Cups, according to the European
00:12:10football body, trust is no longer there,
00:12:12Nicolas Chamontin.
00:12:14The apologies from FIFA's management
00:12:17are useless, UEFA
00:12:21assures that the boycott of the World Cups is still in effect.
00:12:25UEFA member federations have been very clear on the conditions related
00:12:30competitions. These conditions have not been met. In addition to
00:12:34abandoning FIFA's commercial company project decided
00:12:37on Friday, the European football body demands assurances
00:12:41that such an idea will never see the light of day. UEFA
00:12:44reaffirms having lost confidence in Gianni Infantino.
00:12:48Wednesday evening, the head of world football received the full support of his
00:12:52management, gathered in Morocco for a crisis meeting. In a
00:12:55press release, FIFA apologized after the
00:12:59controversy over opening to private investors, a
00:13:02project that leaked to the press without the football stakeholders being
00:13:06informed. This Thursday, the South American confederation
00:13:09Conmebol, yet considered close to Infantino, in turn
00:13:13denounced the president's methods. The Conmebol
00:13:16council unanimously expresses its concern over
00:13:19repeated unilateral actions, adopted without resorting
00:13:23to dialogue or institutional mechanisms
00:13:25provided for handling this type of situation.
00:13:28Apparently immovable a few weeks ago, Gianni Infantino seems
00:13:32more fragile than ever. The man who has led FIFA for a
00:13:36decade still hopes to be re-elected next March thanks
00:13:40to the support of many federations in Africa and the
00:13:42Middle East.
00:13:45All right, we're still talking about football, but with good news this
00:13:48time. FIFA, once again, has authorized the Afghan refugee
00:13:51team to represent their country in competitions. Formed a
00:13:55year ago, this team continues its development in
00:13:58New Zealand because the female players, forbidden to play their
00:14:02sport by the Taliban, cannot play in
00:14:05Afghanistan. They hope today to one day qualify,
00:14:08why not, for a World Cup. Alice
00:14:11Broga.
00:14:18Facing the Afghan flag, they sing the joy of reuniting and
00:14:22putting on their cleats together again, refugees. from
00:14:26the Afghan women's football team are meeting for the first time in
00:14:30New Zealand to train and play friendly
00:14:33matches. Football has given me the strength to be who I am and to
00:14:36speak out, otherwise I don't know who I would be. All fled their
00:14:40country after the Taliban took power, who imposed restrictive
00:14:43laws against women and banned them from playing football.
00:14:47So they have a message to convey. I want
00:14:51to use this platform to advocate for the cause of women in Afghanistan who have been
00:14:55banned from studying for 5 years. We
00:14:58want Afghan girls and women to be free, to be able to choose who they want
00:15:02to be. We want to prove that we are still here, we continue to
00:15:05fight for the rights that have been taken away from us.
00:15:09Since April, FIFA has authorized the team to represent
00:15:12Afghanistan in official matches, a new start for these
00:15:15players. We don't know when we'll see each other again, but it's
00:15:19great to have this second chance. The team now
00:15:22dreams of qualifying for international competitions, such as the Olympic
00:15:25Games and the World
00:15:26Cup.
00:15:30That's all for these beautiful images, end of this edition, thank you for watching and stay with
00:15:34us on France 24, of course.
00:15:52Notes that have rarely resonated within the grounds of this
00:15:56cemetery. In Antwerp, the Congolese anthem rings out in
00:16:00tribute to the seven men who died more than a century ago, after being
00:16:03exhibited during the 1894 World Exhibition.
00:16:07Organized in the Flemish city, 144 Congolese from the Congo
00:16:11Free State were exposed to the public.
00:16:14They were to show their daily lives and their traditions and customs to
00:16:18visitors in what is today recognized as an inhumane
00:16:22practice, called Human Zoo.
00:16:26At the time, they didn't talk about Human Zoos, but about African
00:16:29villages, a term that masked a much more
00:16:33brutal reality. Congolese people were brought by force to Belgium, exposed to
00:16:36the public in precarious conditions, among
00:16:40them, dozens would end up contracting diseases,
00:16:43seven would not
00:16:45survive.
00:16:49Victims finally recognized by this ceremony, demanded by the
00:16:53Congolese community, but which the city of Antwerp took a long time to
00:16:56accept. Ladies and
00:17:00gentlemen, unfortunately, the way
00:17:03they were treated and depicted was not unique in Europe.
00:17:08Elsewhere, during World Exhibitions, these villages were
00:17:11used for colonial propaganda,
00:17:15dehumanizing and
00:17:16racist.
00:17:20There is no other description for that.
00:17:26the 1894 exhibition
00:17:29is one of the dark pages in our city's
00:17:31history.
00:17:34A recognition welcomed by the Congolese side.
00:17:37From now on, a monument will remind visitors of the tragic
00:17:41episode. It's something we must keep and especially
00:17:44for the history that links us, that is, the DRC and
00:17:48Belgium. Today the relationship is going well, so it's
00:17:52just time to heal our wounds and together
00:17:56go even further. An official discourse that resonates
00:17:59with the young generation, like this
00:18:02influencer who is very popular on social media. She hopes that
00:18:08the Congolese community in
00:18:09Belgium. How will this ceremony
00:18:13continue to
00:18:15guide us in
00:18:19the questions we face every day as children of the
00:18:23diaspora, questions about our dual
00:18:26identity, the question about
00:18:29these wounds that must be transformed into strength and
00:18:32opportunities for others.
00:18:35An important step for the Congolese
00:18:38community, even if many would have liked the monument to be in the
00:18:42heart of the city and not in an outlying cemetery.
00:18:46Colonial history researcher, Georgina Dibua, is one of those who
00:18:50advocates for a plaque to be placed here in front of this museum,
00:18:54at the very spot where the human zoo took place 132
00:18:57years ago. exhibiting people as if in
00:19:01a human zoo, that must be part
00:19:04of what people
00:19:07who come here must know. The cemetery, in any case, people don't
00:19:11necessarily go to the cemetery to know what
00:19:15happened, but here we are still in the center of Antwerp, especially
00:19:19since the port city still bears the scars of its heavy colonial
00:19:23history. At the time, Antwerp quickly
00:19:26grew rich, the city housed in particular the offices of large
00:19:30rubber companies, Antwerp was the gateway for all
00:19:34colonial products, both rubber,
00:19:37ivory, cocoa,
00:19:40coffee, tobacco in the first
00:19:43instance, and later with
00:19:46the mineral
00:19:49products, there's diamond, copper
00:19:53essentially.
00:19:55A meticulously cataloged commercial past
00:19:59in the city's archives, oilseed
00:20:01products, here we can see at the end a sort
00:20:05of list of textiles. uh
00:20:08other products for example,
00:20:11so uh we still see
00:20:14that already in 1894 there was a
00:20:18wide range of products, right, which
00:20:21were already
00:20:24uh which were made available to the people
00:20:27of Antwerp and which gave them ideas of what they
00:20:31could exploit, because that was the purpose of the exhibition
00:20:34too. Very precise details contrast with
00:20:38the lack of information concerning the people exhibited in the human
00:20:41zoo, apart from the men who passed through hospitals,
00:20:45there are no names of the people, who are they, where
00:20:48exactly do they come from? Because the Congo is large when we know
00:20:52that Banggala were exhibited, we know that people from
00:20:56Kasai were exhibited, but we know that,
00:20:58that's recorded, but what are the names of these people, we
00:21:02see faces, but they are nameless faces. Belgian colonial history
00:21:06is a history of nameless people, a
00:21:10question that goes far beyond the sole case of Antwerp, how many
00:21:13other European human zoos are still waiting to
00:21:16give a name to a large part of their victims.
00:25:31I'm auctioning, I'm auctioning.
00:26:43It is difficult to imagine the extent of the devastation of this city of 200,000
00:26:50This people suffers from climate change. Five
00:26:53drought.
00:27:23Aya was born in Bamako, Mali. Her journey began
00:27:27far from the glittering lights of Paris. Arriving in
00:27:30France as a child, she found her voice amidst the diverse
00:27:34cultural landscape in the Nesugua.
00:27:37Although she was drawn to fashion early on, music flowed in her
00:27:41veins. This daughter of a griot, a traditional West African
00:27:44storyteller and singer, embraced her heritage
00:27:48while forging her own unique voice. In
00:27:512014, social media became her stage, launching her
00:27:55first single to an eager online audience. Becoming
00:27:59French in 2021, she is the most listened-to Francophone artist in
00:28:03the world in 2024, her cultural
00:28:06influence reaching new heights when she performed at the
00:28:10opening ceremony of the Paris Summer Olympics.
00:28:14This is Aya Nakamura.
00:30:12Hello and welcome to Aux Avant-Postes, the show that seeks to make
00:30:16sense of the chaos of the world. Words have
00:30:19meaning, and using them wrongly and
00:30:22indiscriminately leads to confusion and error. This is the case with
00:30:26the term mafia. Not all
00:30:29criminal organizations are mafias. By confusing
