00:00:07going to
00:00:10take a look at the news together, and in the news, we are, we
00:00:14will be live from Cali, the 3rd largest city in Colombia, for
00:00:18the inauguration ceremony of Abelardo de la Espriella. You can
00:00:21see him in these images, he is the new president of the country.
00:00:26cow farmer has lost 33,000 liters of This ceremony has just begun and he wants to embody a break with the past. It
00:00:29starts now. The choice of this city and not Bogota, the
00:00:33capital, to take office, a symbolic choice,
00:00:35you will see it in a moment.
00:00:39Spain is putting its threats into action. Travelers from
00:00:42Italy will be subjected to controls upon their arrival on Spanish
00:00:46soil. Madrid had issued an ultimatum to Rome, which
00:00:49has been applying these same controls to Spanish citizens since the migratory
00:00:53crisis of Ceuta. And
00:00:56then, drones to fight forest
00:00:58law and the army's atrocities ended in fires. This is Turkey's new asset. They allow fires to be detected
00:01:01earlier and thus accelerate
00:01:04the intervention of firefighters.
00:01:20And you will see in a moment these images that are reaching us live from Cali
00:01:24in Colombia. It is right now that the
00:01:29mobilized and are working tirelessly. The inauguration ceremony of Abelardo de la Espriella is taking
00:01:31place, the new president elected on June 21st. He is taking office
00:01:35today. He chose Cali, the third largest city in the country, for
00:01:38his inauguration and not Bogota. This is very
00:01:41symbolic. This city is one of the strongholds of armed groups
00:01:45involved in drug trafficking, as explained by Hugo Carten,
00:01:49a specialist in Colombia. Uh,
00:01:52the symbolic scope of the choice is quite, it's quite
00:01:56vast since Abelardo de la Espriella had
00:02:00campaigned by criticizing Bogota-centrism, so the
00:02:03fact that political power was concentrated in the capital
00:02:06Bogota, he wanted to govern in the regions. He also
00:02:10said he wanted to restore order in the regions. How he
00:02:13intends to do it, he has been quite clear, it was
00:02:16said in the subject you just broadcast, by
00:02:20force with the army, by
00:02:22deploying soldiers everywhere, and you saw it well, it is
00:02:26In April, the army intervened alongside also a way to show his strength to go to Cali,
00:02:30where he had problems with armed groups, to go there with thousands of soldiers
00:02:34and to be inaugurated there. What must be said about this is that he is therefore an
00:02:37extreme right-wing figure who has surpassed an extreme right that
00:02:41already existed in Colombia, which had been in the majority for 20 years, the one that
00:02:44is called in a somewhat improper way, that of the Democratic Center
00:02:47so of the Democratic Center, and even if there are
00:02:51changes between these political formations, we can expect them to govern
00:02:54together and in reality the majority in
00:02:57Congress that he will be able to rely on is still relatively comfortable
00:03:01for him, so he should still have sufficient
00:03:04support. Spain is putting its threats
00:03:08into action tonight. Travelers from Italy
00:03:11will be subjected to controls upon their arrival on Spanish
00:03:14soil. Madrid had issued an ultimatum to Rome, which
00:03:18has been applying these same controls to Spanish citizens
00:03:21since the migratory crisis of Ceuta. Let's take a look right
00:03:25now with Loïc
00:03:26Chalavon.
00:03:29In front of this police station, dozens of unaccompanied minors are waiting
00:03:33their turn to be identified and placed in a
00:03:36reception center. These young adolescents have been living on the streets for several
00:03:40days, in more than
00:03:42precarious conditions.
00:03:44They have eaten, washed themselves as best they could, and asked people for help.
00:03:48Some gave them €1, others bread. That's how they get
00:03:52by day by day. The mayor of
00:03:54Ceuta indicates that more than 1,100 unaccompanied minors are in
00:03:58the enclave. The Spanish state affirms that it is doing everything possible
00:04:02to take care of these minors and manage the few thousand migrants who are still
00:04:06in Ceuta, according to figures from the Spanish Ministry of the
00:04:08Interior. On the diplomatic front, the spat continues
00:04:12between Spain and Italy. The Spanish Ministry of Interior announced
00:04:16that border controls will begin Saturday at midnight for travelers from
00:04:20Italy. A measure that follows a statement published earlier in the
00:04:24day, in which the Spanish government threatened to apply retaliatory
00:04:28measures against Rome if it did not reverse its
00:04:31decision. On July 31st, Italian Prime
00:04:34Minister Giorgia Meloni had announced the suspension of free
00:04:37movement with Spain and the reinforcement of controls at land
00:04:41borders. Italy has indicated that it will maintain these measures at
00:04:44least until August 15th.
00:04:47Technology at the service of firefighters and drones to
00:04:51fight forest fires. This is Turkey's new weapon. By detecting
00:04:54fires earlier,
00:04:57Four American military officials of they allow emergency teams to intervene more quickly.
00:05:00Watch this report by our correspondent Jena Lebrass with Adria
00:05:03Rochacutier.
00:05:08In this control tower, fires are mainly
00:05:11detected by the human eye,
00:05:15an essential surveillance task, because when it comes to
00:05:18forest fires, every minute counts. In the Mugla
00:05:21region, the dominant tree is the red pine, a species very vulnerable to fires.
00:05:25We are therefore in an area where the risk of fire is
00:05:27high.
00:05:30Turkey is now relying on its drone fleet, one of the most
00:05:33developed in the world, to strengthen the control of its forests. It
00:05:37allows fires to be detected at their first signs and
00:05:40to intervene more quickly.
00:06:12you can now see the lower part of the screen, the heat source is much better
00:06:15detected,
00:06:20technology now allows precious time to be gained, but
00:06:24on the ground, firefighters remain on the front line against the
00:06:27flames.
00:06:30Honestly, it's difficult, it's a demanding job. We remain ready to
00:06:34intervene at any time. As soon as an alert is given, we leave immediately with
00:06:38the teams. Six teams have been
00:06:41day after... this fire, Hülküdür takes to the air
00:06:45to assess the damage. With increasingly hot
00:06:49summers, protecting these forests can sometimes seem like an endless
00:06:53task, but this time again, the threat has been
00:06:56brought under control.
00:06:58And it will be very hot again in France in the coming days, as in
00:07:01other European countries. In Austria, Croatia and
00:07:05Slovakia, temperature records have been broken,
00:07:08up to over 41 degrees in some places, according to Tanadji.
00:07:15With drought and repeated heatwaves,
00:07:18the Danube's waters are at a historically low level, but
00:07:21the river remains nonetheless
00:07:25a haven of freshness for these Slovaks
00:07:28overwhelmed by the crushing heat in
00:07:30Bratislava.
00:07:37I'm more irritable, I think it's because of the
00:07:40heat.
00:07:44What's changed is that during the day, I spend more time at home,
00:07:48I try not to go out, I can't go do sports during the day,
00:07:52it's very restrictive.
00:07:55Slovakia and neighboring Austria recorded this
00:07:58week absolute temperature records,
00:08:01over 41 degrees in some places. After a particularly
00:08:05hot and dry July, residents and shopkeepers
00:08:09fear a scorching August as the drought
00:08:12has become widespread and the concrete shopping streets are
00:08:16shunned by tourists and the few
00:08:18passers-by.
00:08:20We had a doctor's appointment, that's why we're outside, otherwise
00:08:24with this weather I would have stayed home with my
00:08:27child.
00:08:30In Croatia, they chose to shelter in the heart
00:08:33of nature, in the region of Split where the thermometer shows
00:08:37over 35°C, these
00:08:39tourists take equestrian rides in the middle of...
00:08:44We escaped the walls surrounding Split, it's over 40 degrees with
00:08:48concrete underfoot, we're enjoying this moment in nature.
00:08:51Some forests, like this nature reserve in Serbia, are
00:08:55currently ravaged by fires,
00:08:58after several days of heatwave and
00:09:02drought.
00:09:05These repeated heatwaves have a direct impact on
00:09:07agriculture. In France, some fruit and vegetable producers
00:09:11have lost almost all of their production and prices on the
00:09:15stalls have soared. Alexandre Guin, Camille
00:09:18Warmser and Mathieu
00:09:19Baudouin.
00:09:22Fresh fruits and vegetables are making wallets even hotter.
00:09:26This father comes regularly to this
00:09:29market in Val-de-Marne. He has noticed
00:09:33a price increase, so he buys in smaller
00:09:36quantities. What I usually spend, I think it has
00:09:40increased by a good 5 € between April and
00:09:43today. Significant increases, like on tomatoes,
00:09:46according to this retired woman, you could buy them for €1 a kilo,
00:09:50now it's €2, €2.99.
00:09:53Tomatoes, green salad, cucumbers,
00:09:57all of that is expensive. Prices are rising and could continue to
00:10:00soar due to drought and heatwaves that are ravaging
00:10:03crops. In Aveyron, Mélanie Calvet's vegetables are looking
00:10:07sad. They can't stand the
00:10:11sun's burns. Yes, peppers, lettuce and zucchini,
00:10:14most of them unsellable. Out of 400 kg of harvested
00:10:18beans, she was only able to save 10.
00:10:22When they manage to grow, they feel so much
00:10:25stress that in the end, in terms of taste, they are not good either. It's not
00:10:29like that, so I'm going to pull everything out. She increased the price
00:10:33of her vegetables by €2 per kilo, but she knows that won't be enough to compensate
00:10:36for her losses. Bad harvests also for cereal
00:10:39farmers. For corn, a 19% decrease in yield is expected this
00:10:43year. Plants that suffer and animals that suffocate. For
00:10:472 months, this dairy
00:10:51milk since the beginning of the heatwaves. 35
00:10:53kg for the month of May, first drop, and
00:10:57for the month of June, €15,000 in lost earnings in total, and
00:11:01he fears new temperature increases that could cause
00:11:04further difficulties. It's reproduction that
00:11:08will suffer, it's all of that and those are problems
00:11:11that we will iron out over
00:11:15the year.
00:11:17The government has announced that emergency measures will be taken to
00:11:21help farmers.
00:11:24We end with... images of the Tour de France Feminin and a victory today for the
00:11:27Polish cyclist Kasia Niewiadoma. She won the
00:11:317th stage at the summit of Mont Ventoux. She also takes the yellow
00:11:35jersey with a 15-second lead over the Dutchwoman Demi
00:11:39Vollering. There are now two stages left before the grand
00:11:43finale in Nice, which will be next
00:11:45Sunday.
00:11:48Stay with us, we'll be back in a moment for a new update on
00:11:51the news.
00:12:11It's a forgotten massacre, a bloody repression in
00:12:15a democracy celebrated today, the Jeju
00:12:18massacre in South Korea. We are in
00:12:211948, Korea is already divided in two. The North
00:12:25under Soviet domination and in the South, an ultra
00:12:29nationalist government supported by the United States and which is conducting its
00:12:33own witch hunt against communists.
00:12:37Jeju Island, in the far south of the peninsula, became a refuge for
00:12:40communist militants, but clashes with the police
00:12:44multiplied and martial law was declared in
00:12:471948.
00:12:51the police and engaged in a terrible repression. Between
00:12:5525 and 30,000 civilians were reportedly killed or went
00:12:58missing, which is nearly 10% of the island's
00:13:02population. For a long time taboo in South Korea, this
00:13:06bloody episode was finally the subject of an inquiry commission in the
00:13:092000s, and it has just been officially recognized by
00:13:12UNESCO. Nearly 80 years later, a
00:13:16return ticket to the Jeju massacre. This is a report by
00:13:20Adrien Kilico, Aruna Popouri and Melodie
00:13:23Sforza.
00:13:30The steps are trembling, but
00:13:33the memory is still vivid for
00:13:35Chunhu. At 88 years old, she
00:13:39returns near the cave that saved her
00:13:41life.
00:13:45The first time I went in, I was 11 years old. Now I can't
00:13:48go anymore, I'm too scared. At the time,
00:13:51it was a matter of life or death, so I rushed in. Today, just
00:13:55looking at it
00:13:55terrifies me.
00:14:00Caves like these, Jeju Island, south of
00:14:04Korea, has about a
00:14:05hundred of them.
00:14:08Caverns, the scene of a bloody repression
00:14:12carried out by the Korean army against its own population last
00:14:16century.
00:14:19At the dawn of the Cold War in 1948, Korea
00:14:22split into two enemy sisters under the influence of
00:14:25superpowers, in the North, the
00:14:28Soviets, in the South, the United States
00:14:32and the obsession with communist
00:14:33influence.
00:14:38Part of Jeju opposes this split and becomes a target
00:14:42for Seoul. The very young government calls it the "Red
00:14:45Island" and considers that 90% of the
00:14:48inhabitants adhere to communism. Martial
00:14:52law is then proclaimed and the army
00:14:55wages a real witch hunt, massacring adults and
00:14:58children.
00:15:02To enter the cave, I had to go on my knees,
00:15:05crawling. When I think about our survival
00:15:09here, imagine, there was no light,
00:15:13it was pitch black, we didn't know if it was day or night,
00:15:17winter or summer. To drink, water dripped
00:15:20from the ceiling. We lay on our stomachs to
00:15:23lick it.
00:15:31After 51 days hiding in the darkness, Chunho and the
00:15:35rest of the villagers were spotted by South Korean
00:15:38soldiers. They managed to escape, but
00:15:42the young girl's two brothers did not survive
00:15:44long. They died, exhausted by
00:15:48the cold and lack of
00:15:50food.
00:15:54Today, some caves have been converted so as not to forget.
00:15:58oublier.
00:16:02When I think about
00:16:04it, I say to myself, I really lived in the mud.
00:16:09I had nowhere to go, no blankets, no
00:16:12clothes.
00:16:15We went to the sweet potato fields to collect the remains after the
00:16:18harvest. That was our
00:16:21life. We lived because death didn't want
00:16:25us.
00:16:31After so many years of repression, martial
00:16:35l'armée prennent fin
00:16:371954,
00:16:40but survivors like Chunho suffered
00:16:43discrimination. When they spoke, they were
00:16:46insulted, communists, bandits,
00:16:49reds. It was impossible for them to rent a house or
00:16:53work in a company.
00:16:56Hello,
00:16:59the only solution for the survivors was never to talk about the
00:17:03massacres.
00:17:20Today is the Lunar New Year in South Korea. The
00:17:24grandmother is invited to her eldest son's house to honor her
00:17:27ancestors.
00:17:33Chunho spent her entire life in Jeju.
00:17:38She built her family,
00:17:41four children, nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
00:17:45enfants,
00:17:52I feel very good, especially
00:17:55when my grandchildren come to see me.
00:17:59It's a joy to have so many at my
00:18:01age.
00:18:05In 2003, one century after the
00:18:08tragedy, the Korean government recognized the
00:18:11Jeju massacre and offered
00:18:14apologies. Chunho waited until
00:18:18her son was 40 before telling him her
00:18:21story. He was only 20
00:18:24at the time.
00:18:30When I was a child, I knew nothing of this
00:18:33massacre. We never knew our
00:18:35grandparents. passed away when I was
00:18:38little, so I never felt that family
00:18:41bond.
00:18:44Today, when my mother tells me about what she went through, it
00:18:47upsets me so much.
00:18:51Memory is transmitted by word of mouth. Chungho's grandson
00:18:55grew up on the island, and yet his local
00:18:59school only briefly mentioned the Jeju massacres
00:19:02when he was little. Everything he
00:19:05knows he owes
00:19:46to. Even today, many gray areas remain regarding the
00:19:49massacre.
00:19:53This researcher spent 36 years of his life investigating this
00:19:57repression.
00:20:01His fight: to have the United States' share of responsibility
00:20:05recognized, as they armed and financed the Seoul
00:20:08government.
00:20:13Here, we can see in these American reports that
00:20:16the Jeju operation was so successful that it is described
00:20:20as an overwhelming success.
00:20:23Here, it is written that on February 20, 1948,
00:20:2776 people described as revolutionaries were executed.
00:20:30exécutés.
00:20:34the time witnessed this scene.
00:20:40These sensitive documents prove the approval, even the
00:20:43supervision, of American military personnel during these
00:20:46purges.
00:20:50A little-known chapter of the massacres that infuriates this
00:20:53researcher.
00:20:56This document shows that an officer from the staff of the
00:21:00American forces in Korea went there to inspect and
00:21:03examine the operation.
00:21:05Four directives were transmitted to the Korean
00:21:09army. The American army did not participate in the
00:21:12repression, but it played a consulting and directing
00:21:16role in the operations.
00:21:24In total, 15,000 inhabitants, supposedly
00:21:27communists, including newborns, were
00:21:30massacred.
00:21:35For Route, the real toll would be twice
00:21:39as high. Under martial law, entire families were
00:21:42eliminated, making it almost impossible to count some
00:21:46of the dead. On these
00:22:09dates. We must learn from the history of this massacre and
00:22:12transmit to future generations that such
00:22:16violence must never happen again.
00:22:22We must make it a lesson for future generations and above all
00:22:25educate so that it never happens
00:22:27again.
00:22:33In South Korea, the specter of martial law remains in everyone's
00:22:36minds, because while the Jeju massacre was its
00:22:40first tragedy, since 1948, the
00:22:44republic has resorted more than fifteen times to this military state of
00:22:47emergency.
00:22:50The last one dated December
00:22:532024.
00:22:57To everyone's surprise, the President.
00:23:21Martial law is overturned in a few hours, the president is then
00:23:25placed in pre-trial
00:23:26detention.
00:23:30More than a year after the events, on February
00:23:3419, 2026, the verdict against the former
00:23:38head of state is finally
00:23:41delivered. A decision eagerly awaited by this left-wing candidate for the local elections in
00:23:45Jeju, the failed coup of December
00:23:482024.
00:24:22For this candidate, the return of the debate on martial law is
00:24:26an opportunity to shed new light on the Jeju massacre and its gray
00:24:30areas.
00:24:37Hello, I came to greet you. I am running as a
00:24:41candidate for governor in these municipal elections. I felt
00:24:44obliged to come and greet the people here at the market because it's my very first day of
00:24:48campaigning.
00:25:20For lack of proof, after decades of silence and disappeared documents, This shows that efforts to restore
00:25:23the honor of the victims are still not sufficient.
00:25:39One must be officially recognized as a victim.
00:25:46many still do not have access to it.
00:25:51In the future, it is important that history be
00:25:54corrected so that such events do not happen
00:25:58again and so that the Korean peninsula becomes a
00:26:01place
00:26:05where there is no more fighting. In his program, the candidate notably wishes that all
00:26:09schools in the country teach the history of the
00:26:12massacre.
00:26:15One of the major issues is the official naming of the
00:26:17repression.
00:26:20For example, you talk about the French Revolution of
00:26:221789, it is an official name that is now the
00:26:26rule. It's crazy to think that for Jeju, that doesn't
00:26:30exist yet.
00:26:35Last year, over 14,000 archives related
00:26:39to the Jeju repressions were inscribed on

00:26:45A symbol of hope for Korean activists,
00:26:48for them, this work of remembrance remains the
00:26:52best shield against authoritarian abuses of
00:26:56power.
00:27:08Every year, Thailand organizes a unique event in the world, the
00:27:11terrible military service lottery. Young men
00:27:15who draw a red card are conscripted directly for 2
00:27:18years.
00:27:24Between disappointment and relief, this ritual masks a real
00:27:28social injustice.
00:30:07Thank you for being with us on France 24. We will together take a new look at
00:30:10the news, and in the news, we are, we
00:30:14will be live from Cali, the 3rd largest city in Colombia, for
00:30:17the inauguration ceremony of Abelardo de la Espriella. You can
00:30:21see him in these images, he is the new president of the country.
00:30:24This ceremony has just begun and he wants to
00:30:27embody a break, it begins with the choice of this city
00:30:31and not Bogota, the capital, to take office,
00:30:34a symbolic choice, you will see it in a
00:30:37moment. Spain is putting its threats
00:30:40into action. Travelers from Italy will be subjected to
00:30:44controls upon their arrival on Spanish soil. Madrid had
00:30:47issued an ultimatum to Rome, which has been applying these same controls
00:30:51to Spanish citizens since the migratory crisis of
00:30:53Ceuta. And then, drones to fight forest
00:30:57fires. This is Turkey's new asset.
