00:00:00on all five continents to see on France
00:00:0324.
00:00:07Rome had taken this decision following the Good evening everyone and welcome if you join us at the top of this
00:00:10news broadcast, Abel Ardeau de la Espriella, the new president of
00:00:13Colombia, inaugurated today, a ceremony that will
00:00:16take place in Cali, the third largest city in the country and not in Bogotá,
00:00:20an ally of Donald Trump, he makes the
00:00:22adolescent killed five school employees fight against drug trafficking a priority. We will be
00:00:25with Hugo Carten, a specialist on Colombia in a
00:00:28moment. The shock in Thailand after the deadly shooting
00:00:32at a high school near Bangkok, a 14-year-old adolescent killed his
00:00:36grandparents then five members of the school staff before committing
00:00:39suicide, an act planned according to the
00:00:42authorities. And then Spain's ultimatum to Italy,
00:00:46Madrid demands from Rome the rapid lifting of controls concerning its
00:00:50nationals. After the migratory crisis in Ceuta, Italy had
00:00:53decided to re-establish them for Spaniards and does not intend
00:00:57to reverse it before next week.
00:01:00unequal countries in
00:01:08evening of the animal's
00:01:10today. Tuesday, we
00:01:13of pitfalls because of Colombia shifts from left to far right with Abel Ardo de la Spriela, the new president
00:01:17elected on June 21st, he is officially invested today in
00:01:212 hours, not in Bogotá but in Cali, the third
00:01:26solidarity with city of the country, and it's a symbol because it's one of the strongholds of armed groups engaged.
00:01:34patrols everywhere in Cali, the third city of
00:01:37as it rejects Spain's Colombia, it is here under high security that the
00:01:40inauguration of the new far-right president Abelardo de la
00:01:44Esprieya takes place. More than 1,100 men and women have been deployed
00:01:48here with drones, anti-drone systems,
00:01:52armored vehicles and everything necessary for this
00:01:55democratic event to take place in calm.
00:01:59Normally. This inauguration of the Colombian president takes place in the
00:02:02capital, Bogotá, but not with Abelardo de la
00:02:05Esprieya. The millionaire lawyer, new to politics,
00:02:09chose Cali where attacks claimed by guerrillas recently took
00:02:13place. A symbol, because the new president promises a strong hand
00:02:17to fight against these armed groups and drug trafficking,
00:02:20bombings against the camps of these organizations, or even the
00:02:23creation of mega-prisons like in El Salvador. A program
00:02:27hammered since his election last June and at... odds with his
00:02:30leftist predecessor Gustavo Petro who had tried to negotiate the
00:02:34disarmament of these armed groups. There will be no
00:02:37false peace process, the only possible peace is that imposed by arms.
00:02:41Any bandit who does not submit will be eliminated. I warned
00:02:44you. For this, Colombia can count on the support of the
00:02:48United States and Israel, whose representatives will be present at the
00:02:52inauguration ceremony. But these very strong statements
00:02:55also worry part of the
00:02:57population.
00:03:00according to his announcements, we see that he will be a rather
00:03:03authoritarian leader,
00:03:06I just hope there will be no violence, new violence within the
00:03:09population.
00:03:12a challenge, because according to the Idea for Peace Foundation, in
00:03:152025, Colombia counted nearly 25,000 armed
00:03:18people within illegal
00:03:20organizations.
00:03:23And we'll go further with you, Hugo Corten, hello
00:03:26and thank you for being our guest tonight, you are... a PhD student
00:03:30in political science at the University of Brussels, you are a specialist in Colombia,
00:03:34so first of all on the choice of the location of this
00:03:37inauguration ceremony, Cali, what is the significance of this
00:03:40choice? good evening, good evening everyone,
00:03:43the symbolic significance of the choice is quite vast
00:03:47since Abelardo de la Espriella campaigned
00:03:51by criticizing Bogotá-centrism, so the
00:03:55fact that political power was concentrated in the capital Bogotá, he wanted
00:03:59to... govern in the regions and he also said he wanted to restore order
00:04:04were just barely getting back on their in the regions, uh, how he intends to do it, he was quite clear,
00:04:07as it was said in the subject that you just... that you just
00:04:10aired, through arms, with the army,
00:04:13by deploying soldiers everywhere and
00:04:17as you rightly saw, it's also a way to show his
00:04:20strength by going to Cali where
00:04:23new album Boulevard de he had problems with armed groups, to go there with thousands of soldiers and to be inaugurated there, so
00:04:27what will be his
00:04:30been called the Bukele of allies? politically, precisely to carry out this tough policy
00:04:34to fight drug
00:04:35trafficking?
00:04:38of the school So, what needs to be said about this is that he is a far-right figure
00:04:41who has surpassed a far-right that already existed in
00:04:45Colombia, which had been in the majority for 20 years, the one that is somewhat
00:04:48inaccurately called the Democratic
00:04:52Ituri and epicenter of Center, so the In the city of Bunia, capital of Democratic Center, and even if there are
00:04:54tensions between these political formations, we can expect them to govern
00:04:57together, and in reality, the majority in the
00:05:00Congress on which he will be able to rely is still relatively
00:05:04comfortable for him, so he should still have sufficient
00:05:07support.
00:05:08We continue with Spain's So let's put things back into context. Drug
00:05:12trafficking in Colombia accounts for 70% of world
00:05:15cocaine production. It's money that's recycled into the economy,
00:05:1914,000 victims per year. Will the
00:05:23police response be
00:05:25sufficient?
00:05:28The answer is simple, no, it has not been
00:05:32sufficient. There have already been many attempts at tough policies to
00:05:35counter drug trafficking, it has not worked because the problem comes
00:05:39from further than that. The problem comes from the fact that
00:05:42peasants in Colombia cannot live from the product of their labor, they often
00:05:46do not have access to land, and for the little land they have, they will be
00:05:50forced to cultivate cocaine
00:05:54to have... coca, to simply have enough income
00:05:57to be able to live, so if you only come with a strong hand
00:06:01and behind it no social policy that can
00:06:04allow peasants to make the transition, it will
00:06:08not work. So precisely, Colombia is one of the most
00:06:13Latin America. Is
00:06:16this very strong social inequality from city to countryside or
00:06:19even between different regions part of his preoccupation? Has he planned
00:06:23measures on this?
00:06:26Uh, no, he hasn't planned any measures on that, it's not part of his
00:06:30concerns. So yes, he says he wants to govern for the poorest, so that people
00:06:33can live from their work, but the territorial divide that exists in
00:06:37Colombia between the cities, notably Medellín, Bogotá, Barranquilla
00:06:41and all the peripheral areas, especially in
00:06:44the Atlantic, so on the Caribbean coast, this gap will
00:06:48probably not be addressed by the current government, since the
00:06:51current government will have a very strong supply-side
00:06:55policy, that is to say, simply counting on entrepreneurs
00:06:58to... to do the first steps, if I dare say, that is
00:07:02to... to make growth on their side, hoping
00:07:05that this will lead the poor populations behind them, and
00:07:09then, how does he plan to rely on entrepreneurs?
00:07:13Well, first of all, because he himself is one and that he has developed a network
00:07:17of entrepreneurs for already more than 20 years when he started
00:07:21as a criminal lawyer, he comes from a paramilitary
00:07:24background linked to cattle breeders in
00:07:28politics who allied himself with a clan, notably the Char clan which is
00:07:31renowned in construction, public transport, so
00:07:35he already has a very rich address book in the
00:07:39entrepreneurial world and he will... he will finally, or rather, the
00:07:42entrepreneurs will now be able to rely on the presidency to be able
00:07:45to deploy their policies a little further in the
00:07:49country. Now on the international scene, he is an
00:07:52ally of Donald Trump, as we have often said when we did his
00:07:55portrait, and what will this proximity
00:07:58change?
00:08:00So he's an ally, he's even a little more than that, he's a Donald
00:08:04Trump voter since he has citizenship and he said he
00:08:07voted for Donald Trump. What will change will be a bit of a step
00:08:11back, as you know. Perhaps Colombia has often been the
00:08:15entry point for the United States
00:08:18in South America, it will undoubtedly become that again, perhaps there
00:08:22will be American bases that will be rebuilt or American
00:08:25soldiers who will be redeployed on Colombian territory, from which
00:08:29why not carry out other military operations like those we have seen in Venezuela,
00:08:33it is a scenario that is quite possible, even probable.
00:08:36However, we have seen a movement in Latin America, many
00:08:40countries have placed at their head leaders who are either from the very
00:08:44hard right or the far right, why this shift?
00:08:47So
00:08:50the reasons are multiple, there are obviously security
00:08:53problems that are getting worse everywhere,
00:08:56there are also leftist governments that have made
00:09:00mistakes, there was also, I'm thinking for example of Chile
00:09:03with the constitutional reform process
00:09:07that didn't work, in Colombia there have been many
00:09:10corruption cases also with the leftist government, it's a whole
00:09:14set of things that have caused this, and also the international context with
00:09:17Trump coming to power and changing the game since he influences the
00:09:21political landscape of the region, this set of things put together
00:09:25means that perhaps there is this shift to the far
00:09:28right, we will see again because Brazil is coming in
00:09:32October, Argentina next year, so we will see
00:09:35if the shift is total or not. So
00:09:39Abelardo de la Espriella has often
00:09:43Colombia, does that seem relevant to you, does that seem
00:09:46fair? Uh, relevant, yes, well, first of all, it's a
00:09:50matter of style, somehow, he wanted to draw inspiration from it, and
00:09:54then the mega-prisons, to put it simply, uh,
00:09:58no peace policy, he has a security agenda and in
00:10:02his security agenda, it's the 10 mega-prisons, and
00:10:05on that, he openly drew inspiration from Bukele and he said in
00:10:09several interviews, he finds that what is happening in El Salvador is quite
00:10:12desirable, certainly there are human rights violations, but as he says, human
00:10:16rights are for victims and for those who commit crimes, human rights do not
00:10:20exist, so indeed he is inspired by it. Well, thank
00:10:23you, Hugo Corten. I remind you that you are a PhD student in political science at
00:10:27the University of Brussels, a specialist in Colombia, and we
00:10:30will follow this inauguration ceremony which will take place in a little less than
00:10:342 hours in Cali and not in Bogotá. Thank you,
00:10:38Hugo Corten. The shock and emotion in Thailand after
00:10:42the deadly shooting at a high school in the Bandlue of Bangkok. A 14-year-old
00:10:47and two of his grandparents before taking his own life, an act that was
00:10:51planned according to the authorities. The possession of firearms
00:10:54is. very widespread in Thailand, a country that has experienced
00:10:58several deadly shootings in recent
00:11:05teachers embraced, the staff and students of this
00:11:08school in the Bangkok suburb experienced a nightmare during a school
00:11:12day. A 14-year-old teenager opened fire, killing several
00:11:16and injuring about fifteen before committing suicide.
00:11:20Some students and teachers managed to lock themselves in the
00:11:23classrooms, others tried to'.
00:11:28found refuge in the toilets, we thought it was over,
00:11:32then a teacher shouted run fast, the shooter went to another
00:11:35building, and ran
00:11:36here.
00:11:40when I arrived there, it was total chaos, the students we
00:11:43took care of outside were injured in the back, chest and
00:11:47arms, we gave them first aid, the author of the shooting was
00:11:51still active at that time,
00:11:54according to the police, the shooter is one of the college students, he fired more than
00:11:57twenty bullets with a pistol belonging to his grandfather and was
00:12:01found in possession of about thirty additional
00:12:03rounds. The police specified that the shooter had killed his
00:12:07at their home before going to his college and opening
00:12:11fire. I am deeply saddened, not only for
00:12:14the victims, but also to see that such an incident can happen in our
00:12:18country. That's why the government has not
00:12:22authorized the extension of the right to bear arms. It's precisely for
00:12:26this reason,
00:12:29the political commitments of recent years to tighten gun
00:12:33ownership legislation have not prevented a multiplication of shootings.
00:12:37It is estimated that more than 10 million firearms are in circulation in
00:12:40Thailand, or one for every inhabitant. This is the
00:12:44second deadly school shooting in Thailand this year.
00:12:48In 2022, a former police officer had also killed 36 people in a
00:12:52nursery in the north of the country, including the majority. and
00:12:55children,
00:12:58Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey signed
00:13:01today a mutual defense pact in Jeddah in a
00:13:05context of escalating tensions in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is
00:13:09both targeted by the Iranian regime, but also, it is also
00:13:12engaged in a conflict with the Houthi rebels of Yemen. With this
00:13:16agreement, any armed attack against one of these three countries
00:13:19will be considered an attack against them
00:13:22all.
00:13:25Also in the news, the surge in Ebola cases in the DRC, more than
00:13:294,000 people have been infected according to the latest
00:13:32official report, the epidemic is progressing at a
00:13:35rarely observed rate, it has already caused more than 1,700 deaths in
00:13:39less than 3 months, the WHO is calling today for an intensification of the medical
00:13:43response, we take stock of the situation with Axel Simon and
00:13:47Romain Michelot.
00:13:50One by one, passengers are subjected to temperature tests, the
00:13:53health authorities of the... Democratic Republic of Congo fear that an
00:13:57individual who has contracted the Ebola virus may be on board this
00:14:00river boat bound for Kinshasa. The vessel was
00:14:03intercepted in Malouku, some sixty kilometers upstream from the
00:14:07capital, to prevent the spread of the virus to new
00:14:11areas. We were waiting for these boats, we prepared
00:14:14so that we could
00:14:17completely screen the boat, all the passengers who are
00:14:20on board and to be sure
00:14:24that... there is no
00:14:27case that can enter
00:14:30Kinshasa, the 17th Ebola epidemic continues
00:14:34to rage in the DRC, the number of confirmed cases of this new
00:14:37variant has exceeded 4,000 and more than 1,800 people have
00:14:41died. In mid-May, the first case was detected in the
00:14:45Ituri province in the northeast of the country, since then
00:14:48contaminations have multiplied in four other provinces.
00:14:52The WHO director visited the DRC. calling
00:14:55for an intensification of the medical response.
00:14:57I am
00:15:00deeply concerned by the situation on the
00:15:02ground.
00:15:05The epidemic is ahead of us, it is progressing
00:15:08rapidly. We must therefore accelerate the pace to catch up and
00:15:11stop it.
00:15:17the epidemic, the largest Ebola detection and treatment center has just
00:15:20been built. Although several laboratories are actively searching for a vaccine.
00:15:25There is currently no approved treatment for this
00:15:29variant called Bundi Bugyo.
00:15:33ultimatum to Italy. Spain threatens Italy with retaliatory
00:15:37measures if it does not lift the suspension of the Schengen agreement for
00:15:41its citizens.
00:15:44massive influx of migrants into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta,
00:15:48for now Italy does not intend to reverse it before next week,
00:15:52details from our correspondent in Madrid, Maud Petit
00:15:55Jovet. Worst migratory crisis in the history of
00:15:58Ceuta, in a few days, 72,000 people illegally
00:16:02entered the Spanish enclave, which has
00:16:058,000 inhabitants. In impressive images that
00:16:09had provoked a outcry from the European
00:16:13right with Finland and Denmark, Italy had even
00:16:16asked Spain to leave the Schengen area. It was
00:16:20last Friday, the day after the first day of the crisis, that the Italian
00:16:23Prime Minister had announced the
00:16:26re-establishment of border controls for people coming
00:16:29from Spain, an exceptional measure to preserve national
00:16:33security, according to her,
00:16:36measures. adopted without notice,
00:16:39unilaterally and based on fallacious arguments according to the
00:16:42Spanish government in its statement
00:16:47thought we saw an improvement in this diplomatic crisis between
00:16:50Italy and Spain because following the video
00:16:54conference of the interior ministers to discuss this crisis in Ceuta,
00:16:58the Italian Interior Minister had expressed
00:17:01Italy's sincere Spain, but that was not
00:17:04tensions, and we
00:17:08see it now with what we have just learned, Italy
00:17:11is backing down
00:17:15ultimatum, border controls will be
00:17:18maintained until August 15th.
00:17:21It will be very hot again in France in the coming days, as well as
00:17:24in other European countries, in Austria, Croatia and Slovakia,
00:17:28temperature records have been broken, up to
00:17:32over 41 degrees in some
00:17:33places.
00:17:36With the drought and repeated heatwaves, the
00:17:39waters of the Danube are at a historically
00:17:43low level, but the river remains, despite everything,
00:17:47a haven of coolness for these Slovaks overwhelmed
00:17:50by the crushing heat in
00:17:51Bratislava.
00:17:56I notice that my body reacts differently, I am more
00:17:59irritable.
00:18:07During the day, I spend more time at home, I try not to
00:18:10go out, I can't go doing sports during the day, it's very
00:18:14restrictive.
00:18:16Slovakia and neighboring Austria recorded this
00:18:19week absolute temperature records,
00:18:23over 41° in some places. After a particularly
00:18:26hot and dry July, residents and shopkeepers
00:18:30fear a scorching August while the drought is
00:18:34widespread and the concrete shopping streets
00:18:37are shunned by tourists and the few
00:18:39passers-by.
00:18:42We had an appointment at the doctor's, that's why we are outside, otherwise,
00:18:46with this weather, I would have stayed home with my
00:18:48child.
00:18:51They, in Croatia, chose to take shelter in the middle
00:18:54of nature. In the Split region where the thermometer reads
00:18:58over 35°, these tourists are taking
00:19:02ecstatic trips in the open sea.
00:19:05We escaped the surrounding walls.
00:19:15like this nature reserve in Serbia are currently ravaged by devastating
00:19:18fires after several days of heatwave
00:19:22and drought.
00:19:26In France, the fire that broke out in the Corbières massif has been
00:19:29contained, and last year, this area had already been
00:19:33affected by a fire, numerous vineyards had been affected, all
00:19:36the progression. weakened, moreover, some winegrowers
00:19:42feet. Valentin Châtelier, Christelle
00:19:44Chabo: in the middle of this lunar
00:19:47landscape, in what looks like an abandoned
00:19:50wasteland, it's hard to imagine that this winemaker should have
00:19:53started his harvest here in a few days,
00:19:56this is dead
00:19:58dead dead, it's good for barbecues, on his 12
00:20:02hectares, 8 burned in the Corbières fire last
00:20:05year, so he decided to abandon everything,
00:20:09due to insufficient cash flow, he
00:20:13would have to start everything over from scratch, because that means
00:20:16uprooting, replanting, waiting 5 years for a vine to produce,
00:20:19so if he only has 10%, 5% to renew, well we can
00:20:23do it, if it's 70%, as is the case for us,
00:20:27it's almost impossible, a year ago, this mega-fire in
00:20:30the water devoured no less than 16,000 hectares in this
00:20:33territory where vines surround all the villages, out of the
00:20:3725 winemakers in this cooperative cellar, two have
00:20:41stopped their activity and today the situation is not
00:20:45good, the forest massifs are still closed, so tourists are scared,
00:20:48they don't necessarily come and then with these heatwaves,
00:20:52so fewer tourists, fewer wine sales and fewer cellar
00:20:55visits, less money, next to this
00:20:59uprooted plot, on these vines that have been licked by the
00:21:03flames, this family is trying to restart everything,
00:21:06they will make their first post-fire harvest
00:21:10in a few days, it's well on its way,
00:21:14yeah it's... this
00:21:17plot has come a long way, but to have such vines,
00:21:20it's a pleasure, yet the story could have
00:21:23ended after four generations of winemakers, it was
00:21:27the youngest who pushed to continue, they told us this
00:21:30book will not close, I am speaking to you with
00:21:33emotion,
00:21:35but for me this is
00:21:38the 5th page of the
00:21:42book that... excuse me,
00:21:46it's the 5th page of the book
00:21:49that... to see such emotions, it does something,
00:21:53all the work that has been done for so many generations

00:22:03the fire, this estate lost nearly a quarter of its
00:22:06vineyard. before next week's
00:22:10eclipse, another spectacle enchants Parisian
00:22:13evenings, dozens of visitors admire these
00:22:17past few days the sunset that aligns with the Champs-Élysées.

00:22:26moment, Penélope Personnaz and Benjamin
00:22:28Poulin.
00:22:32on social networks, it's the poetic image of the
00:22:35week, a perfectly aligned setting
00:22:38sun in the axis of the Arc de Triomphe, for a suspended
00:22:42moment. The phenomenon started on July
00:22:4531st, but last night on the Champs Élysées, dozens were still
00:22:49waiting for the show, I came
00:22:52to see these magical moments of the sun wanting to go under the Arc
00:22:56de Triomphe, I think these magical moments of life
00:23:00should not be missed, everything
00:23:03is good to get the best spot, we wait sitting on the cobblestones of the
00:23:06avenue, well positioned between the cars,
00:23:10we arrived an hour early, an hour and a half
00:23:14spot. place, I live in Paris and I always
00:23:18have to come and I am... came so there you go, this phenomenon
00:23:22called Paris happens twice a year, in
00:23:25May and August, at 9:10 PM, that's the time, all
00:23:29eyes and cameras are turned towards the Grande Arche,
00:23:33attention, everything is very fast, a few minutes, no more, to capture
00:23:36the moment,
00:23:39but last night, the sun was playing
00:23:42capricious, it's too low in my opinion so there won't be,
00:23:46there won't be any effect quoi...
00:23:50is hidden under the Arc de Triomphe,
00:23:52of course there are disappointed people, well, barely,
00:23:55I expected to see the sun appear and
00:23:59say "cuckoo mamella",
00:24:02a bit disgusted all the same, what I see on social media is more
00:24:06beautiful than what I took there, my
00:24:09god, I saw the sunset through the Arc de Triomphe, it's
00:24:12magnificent, certainly it wasn't the day for the
00:24:16perfect photo, but sky enthusiasts will be able to catch up on Wednesday.

00:26:50rain, it was something that was very
00:26:52strange, but during a divination
00:26:55session, someone told them
00:26:58that the rain there, as long as that animal there is not
00:27:01slaughtered. So there won't be any
00:27:04rain, they organized a hunt, they
00:27:07slaughtered the animal, the very
00:27:10slaughter, so the rain returned.
00:27:34There were reforestation efforts that were made with this to allow precisely for the rain
00:27:38to return because we know that precisely with the phenomenon of
00:27:42deforestation there are exactly consequences on the biometric state.
