00:00:07Thank you for choosing our channels for your news. Here are the headlines from this
00:00:11broadcast: several people killed by firearms in Thailand.
00:00:15In the city of Bunia, capital of The young man behind this shooting was
00:00:17Ituri and epicenter of 14 years old, and he had clearly planned his attack, according to the Prime
00:00:20Minister. Before opening fire in his school, the teenager first killed
00:00:23his own
00:00:25grandparents.
00:00:28In Colombia, the inauguration of the... far-right president elected last
00:00:31June, Abelardo de la Espriella, says he is determined to
00:00:35fight guerrillas and drug trafficking with
00:00:38bombardments if necessary. He has today the
00:00:41support of Washington and Tel
00:00:42Aviv.
00:00:45And in this broadcast, we will tell you about these players from the Afghan women's football team.
00:00:49They are meeting for the first time in New Zealand to train and
00:00:52play friendly matches.
00:00:55convent, escaped from A new start for these women deprived of their rights and freedom in their
00:00:58country.
00:01:09four corners of the world, these players from
00:01:11How can we explain that a 14-year-old boy could kill his grandparents and then go
00:01:15to his school to kill again? This is what happened
00:01:19in Thailand, in a suburb of Bangkok, this Friday. Several people
00:01:23were killed in this shooting, according to the police, and the shooter had clearly
00:01:27planned this attack, says the Prime Minister.
00:01:31Outside the school, crying teachers embraced. The
00:01:35staff and students of this school in the Bangkok suburb
00:01:38experienced a nightmare in the middle of a school day. A 14-year-old
00:01:42teenager opened fire, killing several and injuring about fifteen before
00:01:46committing suicide. Some students and teachers managed
00:01:50to lock themselves in classrooms, others tried to hide or
00:01:53flee.
00:01:56found refuge in the toilets, we thought it was over.
00:02:00then a teacher shouted, run quickly, the shooter went to another
00:02:03building and ran
00:02:05there.
00:02:08When I arrived there, it was total chaos, the
00:02:11students we took care of outside were wounded in the back, chest, and
00:02:15arm. We gave them first aid. The shooter
00:02:18was still on the loose at that time.
00:02:22According to the police, the shooter is one of the college students. He fired more than
00:02:26twenty bullets with a pistol belonging to his grandfather and was found
00:02:30in possession of about thirty additional rounds. The police
00:02:33specified that the shooter had killed his grandparents at their home before
00:02:37going to his college and opening fire. I am
00:02:41deeply saddened, not only for the victims, but also to
00:02:45see that such an incident can occur in our
00:02:47country. This is
00:02:49Zoé scandal breaks, why the government has not authorized the extension of the right to possess
00:02:52firearms, it is exactly for this
00:02:55reason.
00:02:58The political commitments of recent years to tighten gun control
00:03:03This law on the inviolability of legislation have not prevented
00:03:05private property aims to the multiplication of shootings. It is estimated that there are more than 10 million firearms in circulation in
00:03:09Thailand, or one for every seven inhabitants. This is the
00:03:13second fatal school shooting in Thailand this year.
00:03:17In 2022, a former police officer had also killed 36 people in a
00:03:20day-care center in the north of the country, most of whom were
00:03:23children.
00:03:27territory, the equivalent of the area of Linked by a defense pact similar to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and
00:03:30Turkey want to stand together against any act of aggression,
00:03:34say the three states. It is specified in a press release that the objective of this alliance is
00:03:38to promote peace, security, and stability in
00:03:41a context, we recall, linked to the war in the Middle East
00:03:45with a resumption of the conflict in Yemen, a country, a neighboring country of Saudi
00:03:49Arabia.

00:03:56a billion dollars to compensate for the damages caused to young

00:04:03decision was rendered by a judge in New Mexico and is a first in the
00:04:07United States. The American giant must also create a compensation fund of

00:04:19people.
00:04:22In Colombia, as I told you in the headlines, all eyes will be on Cali later
00:04:26today, where a significant security
00:04:30deployment is in place. The far-right president, Abelardo de la
00:04:33Espriella, will be sworn in. Elected last June, he says
00:04:38multiplying within the he is determined to fight guerrillas and
00:04:40drug trafficking. His speech marks a change of course and
00:04:44strengthens ties with Washington. Romain
00:04:46Michelot:
00:04:49patrols everywhere in Cali, the third largest city in
00:04:52Colombia. It is here, under high security, that the inauguration of the new far-right
00:04:55president-elect, Abelardo de la
00:04:59Espriella, is taking place. More than 11,000 men and women have been deployed
00:05:03here with drones, anti-drone
00:05:05provinces. The Director of the systems, armored vehicles, and everything
00:05:08necessary for this democratic event to proceed in
00:05:13calm. Normally, this inauguration of the Colombian president takes place in the
00:05:17capital, Bogota, but not with Abelardo de la
00:05:20Espriella. The millionaire lawyer, a political novice, has
00:05:24chosen Cali, where attacks claimed by guerrillas have recently taken
00:05:27place. A symbol, because the new president promises a strong
00:05:31hand to fight these armed groups and drug trafficking, bombardments
00:05:35against the camps of these organizations or even the
00:05:38creation of mega-prisons like in El Salvador, a
00:05:41program televised since his election in last June and contrary to his
00:05:45left-wing predecessor Gustavo Petro who had tried to negotiate the
00:05:49disarmament of these armed groups. There will be no
00:05:52false peace process, the only peace possible is that imposed by arms.
00:05:56Any bandit who does not submit will be eliminated. I have already warned
00:05:59you. For this, Colombia can count on the support of the
00:06:03United States and Israel, whose representatives will be present at the
00:06:06inauguration ceremony. But these very muscular outings also worry
00:06:10a part of the population.
00:06:14according to his announcements, we can clearly see that he will be a rather
00:06:18authoritarian leader,
00:06:21I just hope there won't be any violence, new violence within the
00:06:24population, a challenge, because according to the
00:06:28Foundation for Peace, in 2025, nearly
00:06:3225,000 armed people within
00:06:34organizations,
00:06:39we stay on the continent,
00:06:43in the streets of Buenos Aires in Argentina, violence has even pitted the
00:06:46crowd against law enforcement. The cause of this anger is a bill
00:06:49being examined in the Senate. This text notably provides for the
00:06:52facilitation of land expulsion in case
00:06:55of non-payment, watch:
00:06:59the crowd, pushed back with water cannons, tear
00:07:03gas, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Police
00:07:06disperse thousands of demonstrators gathered this Thursday, while the Senate
00:07:10continued to examine a bill
00:07:22We are here because the government and the traitors who
00:07:26accompany it want to sell our country. What they want
00:07:29with this law is that Argentina ceases to belong to
00:07:33Argentinians.
00:07:36This bill, named "inviolability of private
00:07:40property," aims to facilitate
00:07:43repossessions in case of non-payment and to make
00:07:46state expropriation of property more complicated. It also provided
00:07:50for increasing the share of strategic land that can belong to foreigners from 15 to 25
00:07:54%, but this measure was withdrawn due to lack of political support in parliament.
00:07:57Behind the idea of this government Miley project, is to attract new
00:08:01foreign investors to capitalize on these lands rich in
00:08:04lithium, copper, for example, an
00:08:08ultra-liberal logic defended by the ruling party during the examination of the
00:08:11text.
00:08:18guarantee that private property enshrined in this
00:08:21constitution is not violated and that
00:08:24the state understands that its purpose is to protect and defend and not
00:08:28to intervene and control.
00:08:31This bill must still be examined by the Chamber of Deputies before being
00:08:35adopted. In Argentina, in 2025, nearly 5% of the
00:08:40England, already belonged to
00:08:42foreigners according to a report from the Land Observatory. This share
00:08:46would even exceed 15% in some resource-rich
00:08:49regions.
00:08:53The number of positive cases of the Ebola virus continues to rise
00:08:56in the Democratic Republic of Congo. At least 4,000 people
00:09:00are infected to date, according to the country's Public Health
00:09:03Institute. The disease is particularly prevalent in the eastern provinces,
00:09:06and the decrease in international aid has
00:09:10weakened the care for the most deprived.
00:09:15One by one, passengers are subjected to temperature checks. The
00:09:19health authorities of the Democratic Republic of Congo fear that a
00:09:22person who has contracted the Ebola virus is on board this
00:09:26river vessel bound for Kinshasa. The ship was
00:09:29intercepted in Maluku, about sixty kilometers upstream from the
00:09:32capital, to prevent the spread of the virus to new
00:09:36areas. We were waiting for this boat, we
00:09:40prepared so that we could
00:09:43screen the boat completely, all the passengers who are
00:09:46on board and to be sure
00:09:49that there is no
00:09:52case that can enter
00:09:56Kinshasa. The 17th Ebola epidemic continues
00:09:59to rage in the DRC, the number of confirmed cases of this new
00:10:03variant has exceeded 4,000 and more than 1,800 people have
00:10:07died. In mid-May, the first case was detected in the
00:10:10Ituri province in the northeast of the country, since then contaminations
00:10:14have multiplied in four other
00:10:18WHO visited the DRC on Wednesday, calling for
00:10:21intensified medical response.
00:10:25I am deeply concerned about the situation on the
00:10:28ground.
00:10:30The epidemic is ahead of us, it is progressing
00:10:33rapidly, so we must speed up the pace to catch up and
00:10:36stop it.
00:10:42the epidemic, the largest Ebola detection and treatment center
00:10:46has just been built. While several laboratories are actively researching a
00:10:49vaccine, there is currently no approved treatment for this
00:10:53variant.
00:10:58Something else now, it was one year ago, the Afghan refugee
00:11:02football team was created. It has since continued its development. The
00:11:05players met in New Zealand to train.
00:11:08This is more than 13,000 km from their country, a rebirth for
00:11:12these women a few years after the Taliban took power in their
00:11:16country. Alice Broga tells us their
00:11:18story.
00:11:25Facing the Afghan flag, they sing the joy of reuniting and
00:11:29putting on their cleats together. Refugees in the
00:11:34the Afghan women's football team are meeting for the first time in
00:11:37New Zealand to train and play friendly
00:11:40matches. Football gave me the strength to be who I am and to
00:11:44speak loudly, otherwise I don't know who I would be. All fled their
00:11:47country after the Taliban took power, who enacted oppressive laws
00:11:51against women and banned them from playing football.
00:11:55So they have a message to convey: I want
00:11:58to use this platform to defend the cause of women in Afghanistan who have been
00:12:02forbidden to study for 5 years. We
00:12:05want Afghan girls and women to be free, to be able to choose who they want
00:12:09to be. We want to prove that we are still here, we continue to
00:12:12fight for the rights that have been taken from us.
00:12:16Since April, FIFA has authorized the team to represent
00:12:19Afghanistan in official matches, a new start for these
00:12:22players. We don't know if we will see each other again, but it's
00:12:26great to have this second chance. The team
00:12:29now dreams of qualifying for international competitions like the Olympic
00:12:32Games and the World
00:12:34Cup.
00:12:37And that's all for this news report, thank you for your attention.
00:12:56Hello everyone and welcome to Actuelle.
00:13:00Myanmar has decided to ban sanitary
00:13:03protection on its territory, a decision by the army to
00:13:06fight against the rebels opposed to the military
00:13:10junta. We'll talk about it in a moment with my guest Henriette
00:13:14Serak. And then the nuns are rebelling in
00:13:17Austria, three retired nuns have escaped from their nursing home
00:13:21and returned to their beloved convent.
00:13:27The ruling junta in Myanmar has decided to ban
00:13:30sanitary pads. What the military accuses them of is
00:13:34serving as makeshift bandages for rebels and therefore
00:13:37being undesirable in the country. The
00:13:40military power returned after a coup in
00:13:432021, so it decided to ban
00:13:46menstrual protection since then 15 million
00:13:49women find themselves without solutions every month. To
00:13:53talk about it, I have the pleasure of welcoming Henriette Serrak
00:13:56from Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, you are on assignment. Hello Henriette, you are
00:14:00a menstrual health consultant and you founded Pankalai in
00:14:04Myanmar, an organization that produces safe sanitary pads, but which was
00:14:07forced to close a few
00:14:11years ago. Henriette, when
00:14:13the junta dictates this prohibition of sanitary
00:14:17protection on its territory, is it really convinced by what it claims, that
00:14:21the pads are used to treat the rebels' wounds, or is it a
00:14:25pretext according
00:14:26to you?
00:14:29I think it's a pretext. I think no one takes this excuse
00:14:33seriously, it's completely fanciful. Uh, we can't
00:14:36imagine that a pad could seriously serve
00:14:40as a compress in a
00:14:43wartime context. What is much more probable, in fact, is
00:14:47that in this phase of the civil war—it's a very long civil war, but it's true that since
00:14:51the 2021 coup, it has intensified—and
00:14:55a characteristic of this new phase of the civil war is that women have
00:14:59joined the ranks of the resistance in large numbers. Uh,
00:15:02and so what seems much more probable is that the military junta had this
00:15:06idea, in fact, to limit the capacity of these
00:15:10female resistance fighters to participate in the
00:15:13war. Uh, but in fact, it affects all women. Female resistance fighters
00:15:17are a fraction
00:15:20of Burmese women, and in fact, this prohibition impacts
00:15:25all women and girls. Their ability to move, to go to
00:15:28school, to go to work will be
00:15:31significantly affected.
00:15:35It will exclude them socially. Uh, for
00:15:38one week a month for those who are of childbearing age. Uh,
00:15:42it will also create a lot of shame, a lot of stigmatization. Periods
00:15:46are actually a very stigmatized subject in the
00:15:49context of Burmese culture. Uh, and so
00:15:53preventing them from managing their menstruation
00:15:57properly will actually place an even greater
00:16:00taboo, a greater shame on these
00:16:03women. Concretely, that means that now there are no more
00:16:07sanitary pads entering Burmese territory, that means there is a
00:16:10shortage. Are there still alternatives for these women who
00:16:14have their periods every month?
00:16:17In fact, what we don't know very well is the scale
00:16:21of this prohibition.
00:16:23A priori, it is certain in certain
00:16:27regions where resistance is especially strong, particularly the
00:16:30Mandalay region, the Sagaing
00:16:32region.
00:16:35We don't know, in fact, it's very complicated to get
00:16:38reliable data on this subject at the moment.
00:16:42Uh, but therefore at least in several
00:16:46regions of Burma it is the case. Uh, what we can imagine
00:16:49again is that, well, in fact, what we know with
00:16:53certainty is that a whole black market is developing with
00:16:57the price of sanitary pad
00:17:00packs increasing
00:17:04wildly. Uh, there will also be
00:17:08lower quality pads entering
00:17:11the Burmese market via the black market. But the most probable thing is that women
00:17:15will therefore return a little bit to what their
00:17:19mothers, their grandmothers did, that is to say, they will use old
00:17:22longyis. The longyi is the traditional Burmese
00:17:26jute worn by the vast majority of Burmese women. They will
00:17:30use these old fabrics,
00:17:33roll them up or attach them in a
00:17:36way... anal to absorb their
00:17:40blood. What are the health risks when
00:17:43it's makeshift sanitary protection like the one you just
00:17:47described, rather than the ones we can use, throw away, and
00:17:49repurchase?
00:17:53It is well documented across the world
00:17:56that girls and
00:17:59women who use makeshift systems
00:18:03are twice as likely to experience urinary
00:18:07infections and reproductive tract infections
00:18:10uh which themselves can generate more
00:18:13serious infections, sometimes life-threatening
00:18:17uh and which are also linked to very
00:18:20high risks of infertility. You
00:18:24mentioned earlier the taboo that it represents to talk about periods,
00:18:28to have one's periods in Burma, but it's quite widespread in the
00:18:31world, uh and even in Asia in particular, I'm thinking for example of Nepal where women
00:18:35must isolate themselves for a week during their period in... a hut so as not
00:18:38to pollute the rest of the village. Why, in your opinion,
00:18:41uh such a fear of menstruation and why in this region of the
00:18:45world in particular?
00:18:49The taboo of menstruation is almost universal. Uh,
00:18:53it's true that in traditions, in Hindu traditions and therefore in certain
00:18:56regions of Nepal
00:18:59to which you are referring, it is true that this idea of
00:19:02polluting blood and of the menstruating woman being
00:19:06polluting, uh it's very strong in the Hindu tradition,
00:19:09but in fact what's very interesting is to realize that most
00:19:13cultures, most religions have their
00:19:16version of this taboo, this stigmatization around
00:19:20menstruation. Uh, it's uh, well, it's something
00:19:24almost universal. Uh, Burma is a
00:19:27largely Buddhist country. Uh,
00:19:30they have their version of this stigmatization too, it's
00:19:34justified slightly differently, there are nuances. But
00:19:38it's something that we find in most cultures, particularly traditional
00:19:42cultures. Do you think there are solutions to counter this ban
00:19:46in Burma? Will this ban, this
00:19:49banishment of sanitary protections, last?
00:19:53We must talk about it. I am very happy to see that the media
00:19:57is seizing this story, uh which is
00:20:00truly shocking. Uh, we absolutely must talk about it. We
00:20:04must uh support organizations on the ground in
00:20:07Burma. I am what delights me on the other hand
00:20:11is that it is an opportunity to actually talk about what is happening, to talk about the civil war in
00:20:15Burma, about the military dictatorship uh in which the Burmese
00:20:18people have been living for 5 years. Uh and in particular about the condition
00:20:22of women in this context. Women are really the first victims
00:20:25of this civil war, of this junta
00:20:29which is extremely cruel, obscurantist and misogynistic. It is a
00:20:32metaphor, in fact, for the
00:20:36lack of access to menstrual products, which in fact
00:20:39affects a very significant proportion of women
00:20:43and girls in the world. It is estimated that 500 million girls and women in the
00:20:47world do not have access to sanitary pads, to menstrual
00:20:50products every month, and this is not
00:20:54only a problem in countries in the global south, in
00:20:58France, in rich countries, quote-unquote,
00:21:00we also see problems, that is to say, there are 2 million,
00:21:04there is an estimate of around 2 million women in
00:21:07France who who do not manage every month to
00:21:11meet their needs in terms of menstrual products. There is really a huge
00:21:14job that we can all do to fight against this taboo, this
00:21:18stigmatization to allow women to be
00:21:22in better health. Beyond the ban,
00:21:25indeed, the issue of menstrual precariousness is very important. Thank you
00:21:28very much Henriette Serak for this clarification on the situation in
00:21:31Myanmar.
00:21:34What a woman wants, God wants, says the adage, and it's apparently true if we are to
00:21:38believe the adventure of these retired nuns, not like others, three Austrian
00:21:41nuns who didn't want to leave their
00:21:45the nursing home where they had been placed against their will, a
00:21:48sensational scenario. This is a report by Leon
00:24:44And that's the end of this edition, thank you for following
00:24:47us. See you soon on France 24.
00:24:56This week from a reporter we take you to Spain, it is here
00:24:59that in 1928 Opus DI was founded, an ultra-conservative Catholic movement
00:25:03that
00:25:07Spanish society, schools, universities,
00:25:10hospitals. This university is linked to LopusDI, did you
00:25:14know? No, it doesn't show, here, it
00:25:18focuses mainly on your professional training, not so
00:25:22much on your way of thinking.
