00:00:07Hello everyone, nice to see you again on France us by giving us 24, thank you for choosing our channels for your bagasse,
00:00:11information, here are the headlines of this newscast: several people killed
00:00:14by firearms in Thailand, the young man behind this shooting was
00:00:19October 2007, the Ark of Zoe 14 years old, he had clearly planned his
00:00:21attack according to the Prime Minister before opening fire in his
00:00:25high school, the young man first killed his own
00:00:27grandparents.
00:00:31We will also focus in this newscast on this defense agreement signed by
00:00:35Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, while the war between the United States and
00:00:38Iran reshuffles the balance in the region. What commitments have been
00:00:42made, what does this pact contain? Melina Uet's analysis to
00:00:46follow in this edition.
00:00:48And then in Colombia, the inauguration this evening of the far-right president elected last
00:00:52June, Abelardo de la Espriella says he is determined to
00:00:56fight the guerrillas and drug trafficking with bombings.
00:01:00if necessary, he has the support of Washington and Tel Aviv.
00:01:16How to explain that a 14-year-old boy could shoot his grandparents and then go
00:01:20to his high school to sow death again? This is what happened
00:01:24in Thailand in the suburbs of Bangkok this Friday. At least eight
00:01:27people were killed in this shooting. According to the police, the shooter had
00:01:31clearly planned his attack, says the Prime Minister. Axel Simon tells us
00:01:35more. Outside the school, crying
00:01:39teachers embracing. The staff and
00:01:42students of this school in the suburbs of Bangkok experienced a nightmare in
00:01:46broad daylight. A 14-year-old teenager opened fire,
00:01:49killing several people and injuring about fifteen before committing
00:01:52suicide. Some students and teachers managed to
00:01:56lock themselves in classrooms, others tried to hide or flee.
00:02:02"We took refuge in the toilets, we thought it was
00:02:04hair salon where the quality of over, then a teacher shouted 'run fast, the
00:02:08shooter went to another building and ran
00:02:10here.
00:02:14When I arrived there, it was total chaos, the students we
00:02:17took care of outside were injured in the back, chest and
00:02:21arm, we gave them first aid, the shooter was
00:02:25still active at that time."
00:02:28According to the police, the shooter... from the middle school, he fired more than
00:02:31twenty bullets with a pistol belonging to his grandfather and was
00:02:35found in possession of about thirty additional
00:02:37ammunition. The police specified that the shooter had shot his
00:02:41grandparents at their home before going to his middle school and opening
00:02:45fire. I am deeply saddened, not
00:02:48only for the victims, but also to see that such an incident can occur
00:02:52in our country. This is the
00:02:55reason why the government has not authorized
00:02:58In the city of Bouna, capital of the extension of the right to own firearms, it was exactly for this
00:03:00reason.
00:03:04The political commitments of recent years to tighten legislation
00:03:09January, a source close to the on gun ownership have not prevented the proliferation of shootings. It is estimated that more than
00:03:1310 million firearms are in circulation in Thailand, or
00:03:16one for every seven inhabitants. This is the second fatal
00:03:20school shooting in Thailand this year. In 2022, a
00:03:23former police officer also killed 36 people in a daycare center in the
00:03:27north of the country, the majority of whom were children.
00:03:33The Turkish president arrived this morning in
00:03:36Jeddah before joining Saudi Crown Prince
00:03:38on the heights of the extreme north, Mohammed Bin Salman and Pakistani Prime Minister Shebaz Sharif, the three
00:03:42leaders have just signed a defense agreement in Mecca
00:03:46while the war between the United States and Iran reshuffles the balance in the
00:03:50region. We'll talk about it with you, Melina Uet. Hello, Melina. Thank you for being
00:03:53here, international and great reporter at the France 24 newsroom. We'll stop for a
00:03:56moment, of course, on these images and what they say. And
00:04:00first, a question about what this agreement signed
00:04:03Not a blade of grass left in the fields of by the three men contains. Well, listen, it's in the title, Nabia, the text
00:04:07is titled the Mecca Common
00:04:09Defense Agreement. So, according to the text announced by the three
00:04:13parties, any armed attack against one of these three countries
00:04:16will be considered an attack against the others. In fact, it's
00:04:19a collective defense clause that reminds a little bit of the
00:04:23formulation, even almost the same formulation as Article 5 of the North
00:04:26Atlantic Treaty. It extends the Pact to Turkey. concluded last
00:04:30year between Riyadh and Islamabad, that was last September,
00:04:34each brings a little bit of its piece, on the one hand Saudi Arabia, which is obviously the financial
00:04:38power, which is among the biggest buyers
00:04:41of arms in the world, Turkey,
00:04:44Abelardo de la Espriella takes let's not forget, is the second largest army in NATO in terms of personnel, with an
00:04:46extremely advanced defense industry, and then
00:04:50Pakistan is still the only Muslim country with nuclear weapons. The
00:04:53sensitive point is the following: the agreement raises the problem but does not
00:04:57specify the obligations of each, so it remains quite vague
00:05:01as an agreement, everything is not exactly framed.
00:05:04However, in the treaty, in the NATO treaty, this same clause has never
00:05:07meant an automatic entry into war since in fact each state remains
00:05:11master of the action it deems necessary. And in fact, Ankara even sent a
00:05:14message in the wake of it, a Turkish official was quoted by our Reuters colleagues
00:05:18as saying that the pact is purely
00:05:21defensive, that it does not target any particular actor, that it does not repeal
00:05:25any existing commitment. Why does he say that? In fact, it's a phrase addressed
00:05:28indirectly to Brussels and Washington because Turkey
00:05:31is a member of NATO, so the real question is
00:05:34precisely if, for example, Saudi Arabia is attacked,
00:05:38let's say, Ankara is bound by this text from Mecca, but
00:05:41NATO is not because the Gulf is outside its guarantee
00:05:45zone, because one might say, in fact, Turkey will find itself a bit between the
00:05:49two, that's not the case, so Turkey would find itself honoring
00:05:52alone a commitment that its Atlantic allies do not share, but in fact there is nothing
00:05:56new under the sun because Turkey joined NATO in
00:05:591952 and two years later, in April
00:06:021954, it signed with Pakistan already
00:06:05a mutual assistance pact that
00:06:08already provided for mutual assistance in case of aggression, and this
00:06:12text had served at the time as a matrix for the Baghdad Pact the following year
00:06:15in 1955. And can we speak at this stage of a Sunni
00:06:19bloc being formed against Shia Iran, or would that be going too
00:06:23fast, Melina? Well, let's say that's a bit the attempt at an interpretation we can
00:06:26have, but uh it's
00:06:29and the signing location invites us to think so, we are in Mecca,
00:06:32that's it. But I'm going to show you a map that shows why
00:06:36this interpretation does not stand up well to the test of facts. In fact, what you see here
00:06:40are two pieces of information that are superimposed. The background color indicates the majority
00:06:44confession of the population, be careful, not necessarily of the
00:06:47ruling power. The border, on the other hand, indicates the alignment of the power.
00:06:51Look at Syria, for example, well, you know, Nabia, it is predominantly
00:06:54Sunni with a border on the side of Riyadh, but until December 2024, the
00:06:58same map would have shown it with this border on the side of Tehran, since the country
00:07:02was governed by an Alawite minority, therefore Shia,
00:07:05for half a century, it was the Assad dynasty.
00:07:09The population has not changed, the power has, however, and... If you look at
00:07:13the inset at the top right, it's a small zoom on Bahrain, which presents the
00:07:16inverse configuration with a population that is predominantly Shia, but a
00:07:20monarchy that is aligned with Riyadh. In fact, what
00:07:23unites the three signatories today is
00:07:27also on this map, but it's on the red dots that you see everywhere. In
00:07:30fact, since the US and Israeli strikes on Iran on February
00:07:3428th, Saudi Arabia finds itself caught in a
00:07:37pincer movement on its two maritime fronts. On one side, to the east, you have the Strait of Hormuz
00:07:41which is locked down. Even if there are ongoing negotiations for its
00:07:44reopening, to the west, when you go down towards Marib, the resumption of the
00:07:47Yemeni conflict, you know, the Houthis who last
00:07:51month decreed a maritime embargo against the kingdom that targeted its
00:07:55airports, its oil installations, its tankers in the Red Sea. You know, the
00:07:58Houthis are Iran's proxies, hence the naval
00:08:02coalition that was launched by Riyadh a week ago to protect traffic
00:08:06in the Red Sea and in the Gulf of Aden. There are also 14 countries that
00:08:09supported it, among them Turkey and Pakistan. Well, well,
00:08:13that is, the other two signatories this morning. And then a small
00:08:16clue to finish because it's important, it went a bit unnoticed, but in
00:08:21Saudi army assured our AFP colleagues that Ankara would
00:08:25not join this alliance. Well, look, 7 months later,
00:08:29one war later, the agreement is signed. It is the strikes that have changed
00:08:33the lines and absolutely not the map of confessions itself, even
00:08:37if one might think so. Thank you very much, Melina, thank you for these elements of
00:08:40understanding around this pact signed today in Mecca in Saudi
00:08:43Arabia. Also in the news, this very heavy bill for
00:08:47Meta, ordered to pay nearly a billion dollars to repair
00:08:51the damage caused to young users of Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp.
00:08:55The group was convicted of disturbing public order, a decision
00:08:58delivered by a New Mexico judge, and this is a
00:09:01first in the United States. The American giant must also create a compensation
00:09:05fund of 567 million
00:09:08dollars. This sum should allow to finance mental
00:09:11health and prevention programs for
00:09:15young people over 5 years. We will come back to it in our next
00:09:18editions. In Colombia, all eyes will be
00:09:22on Cali tonight, the city chosen by the elected president
00:09:26Abelardo de la Espriella, he will be sworn in there. Elected last
00:09:29June, this future head of state from
00:09:32the far-right movement says he is determined to fight the guerrillas and
00:09:36drug trafficking. This discourse marks a change of
00:09:39course and at the same time strengthens ties with Washington. Among others,
00:09:43Romain Michelot tells us more:
00:09:46patrols everywhere in Cali, Colombia's 3rd
00:09:49city. It is here under high security that the inauguration
00:09:53of the new far-right president-elect
00:09:56place. More than 11,000 men and women have been
00:10:00deployed here with drones, anti-drone
00:10:02systems, armored vehicles and everything
00:10:06necessary for this democratic event to take place
00:10:09peacefully. Normally, the inauguration of the
00:10:13Colombian president takes place in the capital, Bogota, but not
00:10:17with Abelardo de la Espriella. The millionaire
00:10:19lawyer, new to politics, chose Cali where attacks
00:10:23claimed by guerrillas...
00:10:26a symbol, because the new president promises a strong approach to fight against
00:10:30these armed groups and drug trafficking,
00:10:32bombing the camps of these organizations or even the
00:10:36creation of mega-prisons like in El Salvador, a program
00:10:39hammered home since his election in June last year and contrary to his
00:10:43left-wing predecessor Gustavo Petro who had tried to negotiate the
00:10:46disarmament of these armed groups. There will be no
00:10:49false peace process, the only possible peace is that imposed by arms,
00:10:53any bandit who does not submit.
00:11:03will be present at the inauguration ceremony, but his very forceful
00:11:06statements also worry a part of the
00:11:09population.
00:11:12According to these announcements, we can clearly see that he will be a rather
00:11:16authoritarian leader,
00:11:18I just hope there won't be new violence within the
00:11:22population. A challenge. Because, according to the
00:11:26Id Foundation for Peace, in 2025, Colombia recorded
00:11:29nearly 25,000 armed people in illegal
00:11:32organizations.
00:11:36The number of positive cases of the Ebola virus is still increasing in
00:11:39the Democratic Republic of Congo. At least 4,000
00:11:43people are currently infected, according to the country's Public Health Institute.
00:11:47The disease is particularly prevalent in the eastern provinces of the country,
00:11:51and the decrease in international aid makes it more difficult to care for the most
00:11:55vulnerable. Watch
00:11:57one by one, passengers are subjected to temperature
00:12:00tests. The health authorities of the Democratic Republic of
00:12:03Congo fear that a person who has contracted the Ebola virus is on
00:12:07board this river boat bound for Kinshasa. The
00:12:11ship was intercepted in Maluku, about sixty kilometers
00:12:14upstream from the capital, to prevent the spread of the virus to new
00:12:18areas. We were waiting for this boat, we
00:12:22prepared so that we could...
00:12:25totally screen the boat, all the passengers who
00:12:28are on board and to
00:12:31make sure that there is no
00:12:35case that can enter
00:12:38Kinshasa. The 17th Ebola epidemic continues
00:12:42to rage in the DRC. The number of confirmed cases of this new
00:12:45variant has exceeded 4,000 and more than 1,800
00:12:49people have died. In mid-May, the first case was
00:12:52detected in Ituri province in the northeast of the country. Since then,
00:12:56contaminations have multiplied in four other provinces.
00:13:00The WHO director visited the DRC on Wednesday,
00:13:03calling for an intensification of the medical
00:13:05response.
00:13:08I am deeply concerned about the situation on the
00:13:10ground.
00:13:13The epidemic is ahead of us, it is progressing
00:13:15rapidly, so we must speed up to catch up and
00:13:19stop it.
00:13:23Ituri and epicenter of the epidemic, the largest Ebola
00:13:27detection and treatment center has just been built. While several
00:13:30laboratories are actively researching a vaccine, there is currently no
00:13:34approved treatment against this variant called Bundibugyo. And that's
00:13:37the main news from around the
00:13:41world.
00:13:55news, your magazine dedicated to current events and the
00:13:58discovery of these territories. This week's top
00:14:01story: the cry of alarm from Martinican farmers. Because of the
00:14:05drought, herds are in mortal danger. We'll talk about it in
00:14:09this edition.
00:14:28Martinique, this has visible effects on the weight of the
00:14:32animals, cows in particular are in great suffering and their survival
00:14:36is today a worrying subject. In Sainte-Anne and
00:14:38Le Vauclin, the report by Irène Emonide and Jean-Marc
00:14:41Keninga.
00:14:45Gigi can't take it anymore, a twelve-year-old cow visibly
00:14:49very tired, she doesn't have the strength to get up. We are on
00:14:53a family farm. Crève-Cœur district in
00:14:56Sainte-Anne.
00:14:59We have lost on our farm about 13
00:15:03animals since March and today we can see
00:15:07that we have perhaps one more animal
00:15:10that is likely to die. So we are at 13,
00:15:12maybe 14, we'll see at the end of the
00:15:16week if the one we see in front
00:15:19survives. It's hot, very hot, 35 degrees
00:15:23yesterday and it's no better today. It's barely 10 am, for
00:15:27several weeks, no rain, so no grass, a
00:15:30very bad start to August. There are a lot of restrictions
00:15:33during these last few weeks,
00:15:36concentrated with... market gardeners who sometimes can help
00:15:43melons sometimes, we don't
00:15:46know what to do anymore, we don't know what to do anymore, we try to find solutions but it remains
00:15:50very difficult. Here in Le Vauclin, 240
00:15:54head of cattle, animals showing signs of weakness also and the
00:15:58same concern for the breeders, it's not easy every
00:16:01day because we try to feed them properly but it's not really
00:16:05the ideal food we have.
00:16:07Some breeders sent animals to the
00:16:11slaughterhouse before this period, but
00:16:15many didn't think that this dry period would last
00:16:18so long and no significant rain announced for this
00:16:22week.
00:16:25Also in the news, this tragedy in Mayotte, two women
00:16:28died when a pleasure boat capsized, a child
00:16:32transferred to the hospital is still in a coma. The boat
00:16:35was carrying 17 members of the same family on a bivouac to a nearby
00:16:39island, all the survivors are in shock, the
00:16:42circumstances of this fatal accident are still to be
00:16:46determined.
00:16:49And in Mayotte, still, water cuts continue to punctuate the daily
00:16:52lives of residents. As a result, certain professional sectors are
00:16:56particularly in difficulty. An example
00:16:59with two entrepreneurs in this report by Hakim Ali
00:17:02Saïd and Abal
00:17:03Cassimaben.
00:17:06Doner. under pressure to evacuate as much dust and
00:17:10waste as possible. At the head of a small vehicle cleaning
00:17:14business, Soula is bearing the full brunt of the consequences of the 72-hour
00:17:18water cuts in Mayotte. For him, the water
00:17:21crisis means a drastic drop in activity and therefore
00:17:24in cash flow. We are here, we manage with dry
00:17:28cleaning, uh with water tanks but it's not enough,
00:17:32so the clientele has dropped so much, we used to have 15
00:17:35to 16 cars and now we have... seven cars or
00:17:38a maximum in his
00:17:42hygiene must be impeccable, Abdou has
00:17:45also seen his clientele decrease and his operating costs
00:17:48increase, he needs more special products to clean his
00:17:51work tools, Abdou is also now
00:17:55forced to constantly close his
00:17:57toilets.
00:18:01It's not discomfort but it's a working
00:18:04tool.
00:18:07Sand, so without water we cannot
00:18:11work in good conditions and we cannot
00:18:14respect mathematics. The viability of
00:18:18many small businesses is today a major issue,
00:18:21especially since this water crisis in Mayotte is likely to last for a few
00:18:25more years. Soula and Abdou are each considering
00:18:28how to reduce the impact of this crisis on their
00:18:32activity, investing in more water storage capacity seems
00:18:35inevitable to them. They still need to be able to raise the
00:18:39funding during this period of reduced
00:18:41activity. While at the moment several overseas
00:18:45firefighters have come to mainland France to help fight the
00:18:48fires, the next generation is already preparing thousands
00:18:52of kilometers away, in New Caledonia, the young people of the
00:18:54RSMA, the adapted military service regiment, are learning
00:18:58the right gestures to contain a fire. This is the
00:19:01focus of this edition, it is signed Nathan Pois Teta and
00:19:05Brisbachon.
00:19:12It's barely past 7 a.m.
00:19:16they are about thirty volunteers progressing over 400
00:19:19meters of elevation,
00:19:23today is the last qualifying event for these 30 volunteer
00:19:26trainees of the adapted military
00:19:29service regiment.
00:19:40So we are currently in forest fire crew training, the objective
00:19:44today was to show them one of the maneuvers which is
00:19:47setting up a hose over 440 meters, so to complete a
00:19:51setup of over 500 meters long, the bodies here are
00:19:54put to the test, climbing an unstable track with over
00:19:5840 kg on their backs and establishing a front against the
00:20:02fire, in the section, two of them want to commit long-term
00:20:06to Koumac, I like it like... it's physical, it's clean,
00:20:09it's about being in condition and all that, I was a volunteer firefighter
00:20:13before and I stopped for a while, so now I'm getting all my
00:20:17diplomas back by retaking all my qualifications. Training
00:20:21nearby and offering opportunities to young people, since 2015, nearly
00:20:24300 volunteer trainees have passed through the volunteer firefighter
00:20:28sector of the RSMA, a success. Between
00:20:322023 and 2026, it should be known that the volunteer
00:20:35firefighter teams that you have seen intervened more than
00:20:39twenty times during the bushfires in the Northern Province.
00:20:43The ambition is also to train young people in real exercise
00:20:46conditions. At the end of their training, the field awaits
00:20:50them. First, let's head to Martinique
00:20:54with this image of paradisiacal beaches but mountains
00:20:57of waste due to
00:21:00unauthorized parties after the tour of yachts, this boat
00:21:03race is a big popular festival on this island and with it its
00:21:07incivility. These wastes have disastrous
00:21:10consequences for the ecosystem, especially for the laying of green
00:21:14turtles, a species threatened with
00:21:16extinction.
00:21:19And he is perhaps the good idea to preserve
00:21:23the sea from pollution. Mr. Turbino is not a
00:21:27man, but a robot vacuum cleaner that cleans the seabed.
00:21:30Its Spanish inventor is currently in Martinique and you will see, his
00:21:34small device is already attracting the teams of the Regional Natural Park
00:21:37of the Island. The
00:21:38report by Floriane
00:21:41Amblard. His name is Mr.
00:21:45Turbino. The machine is capable of collecting 27 liters of
00:21:48waste in one outing. Its Spanish inventor
00:21:52wanted to tackle the waste on the seabed, we will collect it
00:21:56very gently with an aspiration system generated by
00:21:59air, we will inject air here, it will
00:22:02accelerate the internal speed of the water and all the
00:22:06waste will go into this net, but the
00:22:09particularity of Mr. Turbino is that it collects
00:22:12disintegrated waste, the two trained personnel are
00:22:15in action, this wipe that you could not
00:22:19have picked up by hand... the device creates a whirlwind and it is
00:22:22sucked up, the harvest is a success.
00:22:25It has bottles, glass bottles, plastic
00:22:28bottles, wipes, paper,
00:22:32plastic bags that were disintegrating, 4 kg of plastic
00:22:36waste, you have to imagine that it's a lot, I don't know if you see
00:22:40well, sometimes we would pick them up by hand, put them in the
00:22:42bag. After this initial handling,
00:22:46the inventor will make Mr. Turbino available to
00:22:50the regional natural park until October,
00:22:53before a possible acquisition of the device. The
00:22:57goal is to train us in the use of Mr. Turbino, in
00:23:00the use of the Mr. Turbino application, which is a national application
00:23:04that allows us to record all the collections made in
00:23:07mainland France and overseas, knowing that in Martinique it was the first pilot
00:23:11site to deploy Mr. Turbino,
00:23:13and so we will be able to carry out
00:23:17protocols and regularly conduct collection campaigns and be able to
00:23:21analyze the type of waste, the areas where there is
00:23:24waste, and to be able to work on
00:23:28a reduction in this waste, these marine pollutions. For his part,
00:23:32the inventor sees further, the objective,
00:23:35to continue to deploy his device and his
00:23:38application to better understand the plastic arrivals
00:23:41at the bottom of the water and find solutions.
00:26:21scandal erupts, the people who entrusted you with the children, they knew they
00:26:25were going to France, yes or no, no, a couple
00:26:28of humanitarians claimed to offer a second chance to orphans from
00:26:31Darfur. Children who for the most part resided in Chad with
00:26:35their families. They say: you sold your children,
00:26:39but who sells their child, it's because we were promised an education that we
00:26:43accepted.
00:26:46It was a child theft, a real
00:26:48kidnapping.
00:26:51We heard many stories, we would have been taken to take advantage of
00:26:54us, perhaps make us work in the factory.
00:26:58We were little, we didn't understand anything. 18 years
00:27:02later. Meeting with these fake orphans, they told us
00:27:06that each child would receive €6,000 in damages, but for
00:27:09now, they haven't received
00:27:11anything,
00:27:13if the person acknowledges their mistakes and asks for
00:27:16forgiveness, then you know that they have
00:27:18evolved, but if that same person refuses
00:27:22to admit their wrongs, then you
00:27:25cannot forgive, return ticket, the Ark of
00:27:29Zoe scandal, to see on Franczon 4.
