00:00:13president of Colombia, officially invested Abelardo de la
00:00:17Espriella to be sworn in in Cali more than a month after his narrow
00:00:21victory against the left-wing candidate, the millionaire lawyer is an
00:00:25admirer of Donald Trump, Ravier Miley or even Naïf
00:00:28Boukelé, this new figure of the far-right promises to
00:00:32build giant prisons, to bomb drug traffickers
00:00:35and to reduce state
00:00:37services.
00:00:40Spain retaliates against Italy on the circulation of travelers
00:00:43shaken by Rome which implemented passenger controls coming from the
00:00:47Iberian peninsula after the crisis in Ceuta. Madrid announces
00:00:51in turn the implementation of similar measures for passengers coming
00:00:55from Italy. They came into effect a little over an
00:00:58hour ago. And then the heat returns in force
00:01:04In the city of Bunia, capital of in France, 12 departments are
00:01:05According to experts, this is the
00:01:05Ituri and epicenter of on orange alert this Saturday while the third wave of abnormal temperatures
00:01:08is not over, agriculture is paying a heavy
00:01:11price, millions of animals have succumbed to the
00:01:14heatwave, corn production is at its lowest in 46
00:01:17years and with production
00:01:19affects five provinces in the losses, prices are soaring in their
00:01:21turn.
00:01:33the far-right has therefore taken the reins of power in Colombia, the
00:01:37new president officially took office, a symbol
00:01:41for the one who openly threatens the peace process initiated by his
00:01:45predecessor Gustavo Petro
00:01:47Lovon
00:01:51from the King of Spain Felipe VI to the Argentine president Ravier
00:01:54Milley, even passing by the boss of FIFA Johnny
00:01:57Infantino, they were all gathered.
00:02:09Normally, the inauguration of a Colombian president takes place in the capital
00:02:12Bogota, but not with Abelardo de la Espriella, the 48-year-old
00:02:16millionaire lawyer, new to politics, chose Cali, the 3rd
00:02:19largest city in the country where attacks recently took place, the city is patrolled
00:02:23by more than 11,000 soldiers, a symbol because the new far-right
00:02:27president promises a strong approach to fight against... armed groups and drug
00:02:30trafficking, a program
00:02:32could continue to soar due to at odds with that of his left-wing predecessor Gustavo Petro, absent from the
00:02:36ceremony, who had tried to negotiate the disarmament of the
00:02:39guerrillas. There will be no false peace process, the
00:02:42only possible peace is that imposed by arms. Any bandit who does not
00:02:46submit will be eliminated. I warned
00:02:48you. For this, Colombia can count on the support of the
00:02:52United States and Israel, whose representatives were present at the inauguration
00:02:55ceremony. The rise to power of Abelardo de la Espriella pushes
00:02:59Latin America further to the right, engaged in a
00:03:03drug war led by Donald Trump. The American president
00:03:06promised improved relations between Bogota and Washington
00:03:09after the deep tensions under the Petro
00:03:11government,
00:03:14implements traveler controls from Italy. These
00:03:17measures applied since midnight concern flights and boats.

00:03:25to similar measures decreed by Italy after the influx of migrants on the
00:03:28enclave of Ceuta. Louis

00:03:33in front of this police station, dozens of unaccompanied minors are
00:03:36waiting their turn to be identified and placed in a
00:03:39reception center. These young adolescents have been living on the streets for several
00:03:43days, in more than
00:03:45precarious conditions.
00:03:48They have eaten, washed themselves as best they could, and asked people for help,
00:03:51some gave them €1, others bread, that's how they
00:03:56new album Boulevard de get by day to day. It is estimated
00:03:58that more than 100 unaccompanied minors are in Ceuta, the
00:04:02local authorities are doing everything to take care of these minors and
00:04:05manage the approximately 2000 migrants who are still in the enclave, according to figures from the
00:04:09Spanish Ministry of the Interior. On the diplomatic
00:04:12front, the war of words continues between Spain and Italy.
00:04:16Madrid threatens to apply retaliatory measures against Rome, if Italy
00:04:19does not reverse its decision to suspend free movement with Spain
00:04:22before Sunday. On July 31st, Italian Prime Minister
00:04:26Giorgia Meloni announced the reinforcement of controls.
00:04:31We call on the Italian government to
00:04:34and to reduce state reconsider its position, to end controls and to treat
00:04:37Spaniards like other European citizens. If it does
00:04:41not do so by the end of Sunday, August 9th, Spain
00:04:44will be forced to adopt proportional measures to protect the
00:04:48interests and dignity of its citizens. Italy
00:04:51says it does not want to give in to any ultimatum.
00:04:55you are on France 24, it's time for the Africa tests. Health authorities in the In a statement, the Italian government indicates that it maintains the suspension of the
00:04:58Schengen agreement with Spain at least until August
00:05:0115th. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and
00:05:05Turkey are forming a defense pact. The agreement aims to strengthen
00:05:09military deterrence, any armed attack against any of
00:05:13these countries will be considered an attack against all, the Turkish
00:05:16government specifies that this commitment does not contradict its participation in
00:05:19NATO, with Tehran and Washington in its sights,
00:05:23Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are also already linked by a mutual
00:05:27defense agreement concluded in September
00:05:292025.
00:05:32Will Voladimir Zelenski's last trip be considered a
00:05:36slap in the face by the Russians, the Ukrainian president is indeed
00:05:40in Serbia, it is the first time since his... arrival in power that he visits the
00:05:43country. Belgrade has indeed never aligned itself with
00:05:47European sanctions against Moscow. For Serbia, this
00:05:50visit is a way to send a signal to the Baltic countries, reluctant to
00:05:54an EU accession process due to its relations with Russia and
00:05:58to reassure European states who are concerned about the decline of democracy in the
00:06:02country.
00:06:04Taiwan has been conducting military exercises since Wednesday to simulate a
00:06:08Chinese invasion. These 10-day exercises were carried out
00:06:11on a beach on the island of Kinmen, just
00:06:156 km from the shores of China, our correspondent Suzanne
00:06:19Duroi de Sudo went
00:06:21there.
00:06:29What you just heard is the Taiwanese army training,
00:06:33a scenario of a Chinese army invasion
00:06:35on this small island of Tinmun, this Taiwanese
00:06:39territory is located only 6 km from
00:06:43China and here you can see on the shores
00:06:46Taiwanese tanks practicing live fire,
00:06:50they will aim at targets that are there
00:06:53in the background in the sea as you can see,
00:06:57even as the rest of the country trains, these are
00:06:59national military exercises and
00:07:03Tinman in particular is exposed to China by its
00:07:07proximity, it had already been the subject of an
00:07:10attempted landing in 1949, so
00:07:13today, would China be capable of invading this small
00:07:17territory again? the strategic and military stakes are
00:07:20colossal and ultimately perhaps strategists
00:07:23believe that invading the main island of
00:07:27Taiwan directly is perhaps much more pertinent for China.
00:07:29The shock in Thailand after this shooting near Bangkok, a 14-year-old
00:07:33adolescent killed seven people before taking his own life, there are
00:07:37about thirty injured, nine of whom are in serious condition. The young man
00:07:40first shot two of his grandparents before killing five employees of his high school.

00:07:50hugged each other. The staff and students of this school in the
00:07:54suburbs of Bangkok lived a nightmare in the middle of a school day. A
00:07:5714-year-old adolescent opened fire, killing several people and injuring about fifteen
00:08:01before committing suicide. Some
00:08:04students and teachers managed to lock themselves in classrooms, others
00:08:08tried to hide or
00:08:09flee.
00:08:38According to the police, the shooter is one of the students of the college, he fired more than
00:08:41twenty... with a pistol belonging to his grandfather and was
00:08:45found in possession of about thirty additional
00:08:47rounds of ammunition. The police specified that the shooter had shot his
00:08:51grandparents at their home before going to his college and opening
00:08:55fire. I am deeply saddened, not
00:08:58only for the victims, but also to note that such an incident can occur
00:09:02in our country. This is the
00:09:05reason why the government has not authorized the extension of the right to possess
00:09:08firearms, it is exactly for this reason.
00:09:14The political commitments of recent years to tighten legislation on
00:09:18gun possession have not prevented the multiplication of shootings.
00:09:22It is estimated that more than 10 million firearms are in circulation in
00:09:25Thailand, or one for 7 inhabitants. This is the
00:09:29second fatal school shooting in Thailand this year.
00:09:32In 2022, a former police officer had also killed 36 people in a
00:09:36daycare in the north of the country, most of whom were
00:09:39children.
00:09:42The WHO calls for clinical trials of vaccination against
00:09:46Ebola, for now, no vaccine and no treatment can
00:09:49combat the variant that lives in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
00:09:53an epidemic that now exceeds 4,000 cases according to the
00:09:57government. It has killed more than 1,700 people since May. Axel
00:10:00Simon.
00:10:03One by one, passengers are subjected to temperature
00:10:08Democratic Republic of Congo fear that a person who has contracted the
00:10:11virus is on board this river boat bound for
00:10:15Kinshasa. The ship was intercepted in Maluku, about
00:10:19sixty kilometers upstream of the capital, to prevent the
00:10:22spread of the virus to new areas. We were waiting for this
00:10:26boat, we prepared
00:10:28so that we could totally screen the
00:10:32boat, all the passengers on board,
00:10:35and to be sure that
00:10:39there isn't a
00:10:40case that can enter
00:10:44Kinshasa. The 17th Ebola epidemic continues
00:10:47to rage in the DRC, the number of confirmed cases of this new
00:10:51variant has crossed the 4,000 mark and more than 1,800
00:10:54people have died, in mid-May, the first case was
00:10:58detected in Ituri province in the northeast of the country, since then,
00:11:01contaminations have multiplied in four other provinces.
00:11:05The WHO director visited the DRC on Wednesday,
00:11:09calling for an intensification of the medical
00:11:11response.
00:11:13I am deeply concerned about the situation on the
00:11:16ground.
00:11:18The epidemic is ahead of us, it is progressing
00:11:21rapidly. We must therefore accelerate the pace to catch it and
00:11:25stop it.
00:11:30the epidemic, the largest Ebola detection and treatment center has
00:11:34just been built. While several laboratories are actively searching for a
00:11:38vaccine, there is currently no approved treatment against this
00:11:41variant called Bundi
00:11:43Bougio.
00:11:45In France, the climate catastrophe continues and forecasters announce a
00:11:49new heatwave. Almost all of France is
00:11:53affected, with peaks expected in the south, southwest and in the Rhône
00:11:56valley, 12 departments are on orange alert this
00:12:00Saturday and with this new episode, drought is settling in
00:12:03permanently, it has disastrous consequences on
00:12:06agriculture, pastures are burned, harvests
00:12:09collapse, the climate threatens harvests in the coming months and
00:12:13prices are rising sharply. Alexandre

00:12:19fresh fruits and vegetables that are increasingly heating up the
00:12:22wallet.
00:12:25This father regularly comes to this market in the Val de Marnes, he has
00:12:29noticed a price increase, so he buys in smaller
00:12:32quantities. What I usually spend, I think it
00:12:36has gone up by a good €5 between April and
00:12:39today. Significant increases like on tomatoes, according to this
00:12:43retiree. We can buy €1, €1 a kilo, now
00:12:46it's €2.99,
00:12:50tomatoes, green salads, cucumbers, all that is
00:12:53expensive. which is rising and which
00:12:57drought and heatwaves that are ravaging crops,
00:13:01Aveyron, Mélanie Calvet's vegetables are
00:13:03looking sad, they don't tolerate the
00:13:07sunburn, peppers, lettuce and zucchini, mostly
00:13:11unsaleable, out of 400 kg of beans
00:13:14harvested, she could only save 10,
00:13:18when they manage to grow, they are under so much stress that in the
00:13:22end they don't taste good either. it's not cheap and so I'm going to pull
00:13:25everything up, she increased the price
00:13:29of her vegetables by €2 a kilo, but she knows it won't be enough to compensate
00:13:33her losses, bad harvests also for
00:13:36cereal farmers, for corn, minus 19% yield expected this
00:13:40year, plants that suffer and animals that suffocate for
00:13:432 months, this dairy

00:13:51that's for the month of May, first drop and for the month of
00:13:54June. €15,000 of lost earnings in total and he fears
00:13:58new temperature increases that could cause other
00:14:01difficulties, reproduction that
00:14:04will suffer, these are full of that and these are problems
00:14:08that we will smooth out in the end over the
00:14:11year,
00:14:13the government has announced that emergency measures will be taken to
00:14:17help
00:15:24Congo. A worrying new milestone has been reached, authorities announce that
00:15:28more than 4,000 people have now been infected with
00:15:31Ebola and that 1,850 people have died, the speed of
00:15:35spread of the virus remains the main source of concern in the country,
00:15:38as you will see in the report by Orely Bazar and
00:15:40Mangola.
00:15:43In the Rift Valley in Kenya, the lakes are overflowing, climate change is
00:15:47raising water levels to unprecedented levels in decades, submerged
00:15:50villages, crocodiles approaching human
00:15:53habitation. Finally, he is the voice of a
00:15:56generation Jeep Dundugis, the number 11
00:15:59rapper from Senegal is in Paris for his concert at the Cabaret Sauvage, he
00:16:03presents his new single Nogmente released on June 26.
00:16:07Interview at the end
00:16:08of the edition
00:16:13and we open this journal with the number of confirmed cases of Ebola in the Democratic
00:16:16Republic of Congo which exceeds 4,000 according to government
00:16:20data which estimates that the epidemic is progressing at a
00:16:23rarely observed speed. To face these
00:16:26situations, the WHO has called for intensifying the medical
00:16:29response while trials to find a vaccine, still
00:16:33non-existent for this virus, continue with Aurélie
00:16:37Bazar, Kimoula, Kinshasa.
00:16:42second largest Ebola epidemic ever recorded in the
00:16:46world, and especially the fastest spreading
00:16:50one. Starting from Lituris province, a little over
00:16:543 months ago. The epidemic now
00:16:57east of the country. So for a few days, the Congolese authorities
00:17:01have also focused their efforts on another risk,
00:17:04that of the virus spreading along the Congo
00:17:08River. This week, a passenger suspected of being infected
00:17:11with Ebola died while on board a
00:17:15boat going down the river towards the capital. The approximately
00:17:18200 people on board were
00:17:21placed in quarantine. The priority is to
00:17:25identify potential contact cases and to
00:17:28determine if any of these passengers pose a risk
00:17:31of infection. Visiting the Democratic Republic of Congo, the
00:17:35Director-General of the World Health Organization
00:17:39called for increased efforts to try to
00:17:43stop the progression of the Ebola epidemic.
00:17:45In the Rift Valley in Kenya, several lakes have seen their size explode
00:17:49to levels not seen in decades, floods that have
00:17:53brought some wild species like crocodiles close to human settlements
00:17:57leading to an increase in attacks. Lorent
00:18:00Bertécher's
00:18:01story.
00:18:05On the shores of Lake Baringo.
00:18:08The roofs of a former tourist complex, now
00:18:12submerged by the waters, still protrude from the
00:18:14surface, on one of them, a pair of
00:18:18crocodiles bask in the sun, it has been
00:18:21about fifteen years since the lake level has been steadily rising,
00:18:25submerging lands and dangerously approaching surrounding
00:18:29habitations, in 2014 we understood that
00:18:32the lake floods were completely changing, So from
00:18:362009 or 2010 until today, the water level
00:18:39has never dropped.
00:18:42According to some estimates, the surface of the
00:18:46lake has grown by 70 % in 15 years, forcing
00:18:49tens of thousands of inhabitants to leave their homes, some
00:18:53have been relocated nearby, but the waters of Lake
00:18:56Baringo continue to follow them. Another
00:18:59consequence of these unprecedented floods that scientists attribute to extreme
00:19:03rainfall, local wildlife is getting closer
00:19:06and closer to homes and now poses a real
00:19:10danger to local populations. In
00:19:132011, Marie Tiren lost her husband in a hippopotamus
00:19:16attack. 10 years later, a crocodile attacked her
00:19:19son, then 9 years old, and tried to tear off his
00:19:23arm. He still bears the scars.
00:19:27He was going to fetch water when he was
00:19:31attacked. There were children with him, and they were the ones who
00:19:34helped him. they fought with the animal, they
00:19:38struggled with the crocodile and they were all
00:19:41bitten, powerless in the face of attacks
00:19:45from wild animals and floods that threaten their homes, more and
00:19:49more families hope today to move away from the lake,
00:19:53but most do not have the means.
00:19:56He raps in Wolof and breaks records
00:19:59with over 4 million subscribers and 108 million views on YouTube,
00:20:03just in 2025 before his concert this Saturday evening at the Cabaret Sauvage
00:20:07in Paris, Dip Dundugis is pleased to be with us on France 4's Africa
00:20:11news, good evening, good evening Caldou, thank you for accepting
00:20:15our invitation, so you're going to present your very latest
00:20:18single, we're going to taste it first, listen
00:20:21to it pardon and then we'll talk about it, okay,
00:20:36hey!
00:20:56So this is an augmented extract from the new EP
00:20:59named Micholou which means "offer him" in Wolof,
00:21:02that's right, so the question I wanted to ask you is what exactly are you
00:21:06offering with this new musical EP?
00:21:09Music, and it's a way to share music
00:21:12with my fans more regularly, like every
00:21:16month a project, every one or two months, a
00:21:19four-track project, that's why I called the concept "Michael Lolo", so this is the first
00:21:23project of the three that are coming, and you
00:21:27rap in Wolof, as I said, four tracks, yes on the small, on
00:21:30the project, it's an EP, so we will release others, other
00:21:34EPs of four tracks, okay, so there you
00:21:38rap in Wolof as I said, you are breaking records, does that prove
00:21:42that an African language is not a barrier to
00:21:45internationalization as we said before?
00:21:48Of course, because Wolof is already a
00:21:50very beautiful language and for me the most important thing is not the
00:21:54language, it's the music, how it lives, how it
00:21:57vibrates, how it sounds,
00:22:01and I signed a deal with Sony, so that proves that even
00:22:04with Wolof you can work with the majors and all
00:22:08that, so no no, it's not a limit for me and in your writing, in your
00:22:12music, what do you want to tell? Well, in my
00:22:15music, I tell what I
00:22:17live, what I see, hence the name Dip Dundu Giss, Dundu meaning
00:22:21to live, uh, Dundu means to live and Giss means
00:22:25to see, so it's, it's my music revolves around that, you're a bit of a
00:22:28journalist, yes, I try to share my experience
00:22:32and talk to other people about what I see
00:22:35uh, about their daily lives too, and in this new project, what is
00:22:38different from your previous ones? What's different is the
00:22:42musicality, uh, the artistic direction, I don't know if you've
00:22:45heard the music a bit, it's a mix of Senegalese
00:22:49rhythm and hip hop, yeah, the production,
00:22:52I try to use different types of production that will make me
00:22:56rap on different rhythms, in fact, rhythms that will be
00:22:59different, okay, that's the difference, from your first
00:23:03album, do you feel that you yourself have progressed, you have
00:23:07evolved, you see music in a different way perhaps? Yes, with
00:23:10experience, yes, I see music in a different way in
00:23:14the studio, you feel that you have grown,
00:23:17uh in the process, you
00:23:20know how to go faster and with music,
00:23:24you try to sound differently, in fact it allows me
00:23:28not to make songs that will sound
00:23:31alike, in fact, yeah, and you said you signed a deal
00:23:35with Sony Music, tomorrow you are in concert at the Cabaret Sauvage this
00:23:39Saturday, yeah, as I said, over 100 million views on YouTube, you are paving
00:23:42a path that no one had paved in Senegalese rap before, do
00:23:46you feel that weight? Well, I take it as a
00:23:50responsibility and that's it, I feel
00:23:53better when I tell myself it's a responsibility because I'm not going to give myself the pleasure of saying
00:23:57"yeah, I'm number 1" period, as long as I don't move
00:24:00things forward, as long as I don't impact youth, as long as I don't impact
00:24:04the sub-region, Africa and the world, there's no point in being number 1
00:24:08and precisely when I talked about this weight, you were appointed
00:24:11ambassador for the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games which will be in
00:24:15November, the first Olympic Games on African
00:24:19soil 26 yes and what concrete role
00:24:23beyond the symbol, what will your role simply be? Oh, my role is
00:24:27to help Senegal shine, to help Senegalese
00:24:30youth shine around the world with the Olympic Games
00:24:34and through my music, through culture, through everything I can
00:24:38do. And I will be present in any
00:24:41case, Senegalese rap has long struggled to exist
00:24:44in a mbalax way, it's the most popular music in Senegal, and
00:24:48today you mix it in with rap and mbalax,
00:24:52is this a consecration or a natural evolution for you? I
00:24:56think it's an evolution because now we understand music much more,
00:25:00meaning now there's more than just mbalax, we're going to talk
00:25:03about urban music because now even people are mixing,
00:25:07mbalax musicians dress like rappers, they work with
00:25:10beatmakers who come from rap, they have
00:25:13ghostwriters who come from rap, it's rappers who write for several mbalax artists,
00:25:17so why shouldn't we rappers draw
00:25:21rhythms and sounds that come from mbalax? I think it's the same family,
00:25:25just different positions, but all that matters to us is to advance Senegalese
00:25:29music and very quickly this will be my last question,
00:25:32uh I imagine that among your rap inspirations there is the group Positive Black Soul
00:25:36who are celebrating their 37th anniversary tomorrow in Dakar, DJ Awadi and
00:25:39Amadou, have they been an inspiration for you? Of course, they
00:25:43have been an inspiration for so many
00:25:46others, and they are legends, I
00:25:50wish them success for their concert and I will
00:25:54take this opportunity to talk about my brother BMJ who is also playing
00:25:57on the same day at Canal Olympia. Your
00:26:00you very much, Dip, thank you, and I remind you that your concert is on Saturday
00:26:04tomorrow at the Cabaret Sauvage in Paris, and we will leave you with a

00:30:39Spain retaliates against Italy on the movement of travelers, shaken
00:30:43by Rome which put in place controls for passengers coming from the
00:30:47Iberian peninsula after the crisis in Ceuta. Madrid announces
00:30:51in turn the establishment of similar measures for passengers coming
00:30:54from Italy. They came into force a little over an
00:30:58hour ago.
