00:00:11You are still on France 24. Around the world, thank you
00:00:15for being with us. The toll is getting heavier in Ukraine,
00:00:19four dead in massive bombings overnight on Kiev and its
00:00:22region. Volodimir Zelensky denounced the use of ballistic
00:00:26missiles against civilian infrastructure.
00:00:29Moscow, for its part, claimed the attacks but said it targeted a fuel
00:00:32depot and an arms factory. These attacks
00:00:36come as the Ukrainian president is making his first
00:00:39visit to Serbia, an ally of Russia. We will talk about it
00:00:43with Emmanuel Chaz on the
00:00:45ground.
00:00:49Tensions are high between Madrid and Rome. Spain announces it will implement
00:00:52border controls for travelers from
00:00:56Italy, a retaliatory measure identical to the one
00:00:59that Rome imposed following the Ceuta
00:01:02crisis.
00:01:05And is this the beginning of the witch hunt in India
00:01:08a few days after the agreement between
00:01:11demonstrators and the government for the end of the protest that cost
00:01:15the Indian Education Minister his job? Dozens of
00:01:18protesters say they are the
00:01:20that it was quite nice to target of threats and prosecutions. Their testimony
00:01:23will follow at the end of this
00:01:24news report.
00:01:37The situation is worsening in Ukraine with four deaths
00:01:41in new massive bombings on the capital
00:01:45Kiev and its region. To discuss this, we will go live
00:01:49Morocco, but hundreds of unaccompanied to Kharkov, Ukraine to Emmanuel Chass,
00:01:52correspondent for France 24. Emmanuel, Ukrainian
00:01:56authorities denounce
00:01:58is either ISS maintenance or the use of ballistic missiles on civilian
00:02:01infrastructure.
00:02:04Yes, that's right, it's not the first time this week that Kiev and its
00:02:07region have been targeted by Russian attacks. There
00:02:11were more than 151 drones, and
00:02:1423, she joined the Air most of them were intercepted by the Ukrainian anti-aircraft
00:02:16defense. However, none of the six missiles that were launched
00:02:20could be intercepted. This is the reality for the Ukrainian
00:02:23air defense at the moment. There are not enough
00:02:27interception means for these ballistic missiles, for hypersonic
00:02:30missiles that Russia is using. Once again,
00:02:34there were civilian casualties. You mentioned these four
00:02:37people. One body was
00:02:42the humidity of Bogota following the discovered in Kiev, and the other three are part of the same family. It's a couple of grandparents, their three-year-old grandson, while
00:02:46the parents and their teenage children were injured. They were
00:02:50hospitalized, so it's a daily
00:02:53reality for Ukrainians to be under such
00:02:57strikes. There has been a lot of talk about these strikes that
00:03:00affect the capital and the region.
00:03:04Civilian infrastructure has been heavily affected,
00:03:07whether it's warehouses of certain supermarkets, and
00:03:10today in Kiev, some shelves remain
00:03:14empty because the logistics centers have been
00:03:17impacted. And whether it's also other cities
00:03:21last night, other regions last night, the Dnipro region was
00:03:26woman in history to go hit more than 10 times again on civilian infrastructure.
00:03:29When Ukrnafta, which produces Ukrainian
00:03:32oil, the
00:03:34smile, I want state company
00:03:36to hear her, I want deplores more than 7 strikes on its infrastructure in the east of the country,
00:03:38while Volodimir Zelensky recalled today
00:03:42that Russia is also targeting energy infrastructure
00:03:46in Ukraine. According to him, all thermal
00:03:49power plants in the country have been either damaged or destroyed during
00:03:53Russian strikes. And meanwhile, as you mentioned, Emmanuel, Volodimir
00:03:57Zelensky is in Serbia,
00:04:00traditionally an ally of Russia, with security
00:04:04issues notably on the agenda
00:04:06for discussions.
00:04:09Absolutely, security is not the only thing. It's a very
00:04:13the ability to step busy, very symbolic visit because it's the Ukrainian
00:04:16president's first visit since taking office and even more so
00:04:20since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
00:04:24First visit to Belgrade. Alexander
00:04:27Vučić, the Serbian president, had already visited Ukraine
00:04:31twice in 2025 and more recently in July with other
00:04:34countries in southern
00:04:36Serbia, a traditional ally of Europe. However, it is true that on defense
00:04:38resignation of the Indian Education issues, security issues, in general, Belgrade has been a little
00:04:42reluctant to comment, ultimately, since we know that Serbia
00:04:45is traditionally closer to Russia. However, on the humanitarian
00:04:49aspect, it should not be forgotten that Belgrade
00:04:52has given since 2022, it has released more than
00:04:5660 million euros to Ukraine, which is not insignificant for a country that
00:05:00has a population of about 6.2 million
00:05:03more land, here before there was inhabitants. Thank you very much, Emmanuel Chaz,
00:05:06live from Kharkov, correspondent for France
00:05:0924 in Ukraine. And then we learned in the late
00:05:13morning, a drone that entered Bulgaria this Saturday morning
00:05:17exploded near the border with Romania, and above all, you will see
00:05:20it near a gas pipeline that connects Turkey to
00:05:24Ukraine via the Balkans. The device
00:05:27carried a significant quantity of explosives according to the Bulgarian
00:05:31authorities who say they have no information for the moment on the
00:05:35origin of the aircraft, no casualties are to
00:05:38be deplored. In the rest of the news. In
00:05:42Europe, the diplomatic standoff is intensifying between
00:05:45Madrid and Rome. Spain announces that it will implement
00:05:49temporary border controls in its ports and
00:05:52airports, for travelers coming
00:05:54from Italy. A retaliatory measure similar to the one that Rome
00:05:58had imposed on Spain following the massive influx of migrants into
00:06:01the enclave of Ceuta. Tensions are high between the two
00:06:05European allies. Alice Brog. New
00:06:08clash between Madrid and Rome on the migration issue.
00:06:12Travelers from Italy will be checked on arrival in
00:06:16Spain at ports and airports from Saturday
00:06:19midnight until September 7th. Madrid thus
00:06:22claims to want to deal with the persistence of irregular migration
00:06:25pressure suffered by Italy. A way of
00:06:28sending the ball back to Rome, which used the same argument to
00:06:31implement border controls for travelers coming from Spain.
00:06:35On July 31st, the far-right Italian Prime Minister
00:06:39Georgia Melony announced the suspension of the Schengen
00:06:43free movement agreement with this country until August
00:06:4515th. A measure taken after 72,000 migrants
00:06:49crossed the border between Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta
00:06:53in North Africa last week. According to the Spanish
00:06:56government, 7,000 migrants have now returned to
00:07:02children have remained in Ceuta. Some
00:07:06are being registered with the Spanish police. Morocco
00:07:10says it is ready to cooperate with Spain for their return.
00:07:14The number I can give you at this stage is that
00:07:171342 boys and girls have been registered and
00:07:20integrated into the reception system. The process continues,
00:07:24of course, the situation has been complex due to the
00:07:27volume of arrivals and a certain overpopulation, but things
00:07:31are gradually returning to
00:07:34Minister of Youth, some minors will be transferred to less
00:07:38saturated reception centers in the Spanish peninsula in the coming weeks.
00:07:43Washington seals its support for the new Colombian
00:07:47president. 1 billion euros in aid have just been promised to
00:07:52inauguration of the new far-right president Abelardo de la
00:07:56Espriela, an ally of Donald Trump. Enough to
00:07:59warm up the glacial diplomatic relations in recent years between the
00:08:03two countries. Axel Simon.
00:08:07The Colombian president has barely been invested when Washington
00:08:10already concretizes its support for the new administration in Bogota.
00:08:14On Friday evening, the US State Department announced a net one
00:08:18billion dollar aid to support security policies and the Colombian
00:08:21economy, subject to congressional approval. In a
00:08:25statement, the State Department rejoiced at being able to soon
00:08:28work in close cooperation with the new
00:08:30presidency to ensure the security and prosperity of the
00:08:34United States, Colombia, and our Hemisphere. After the
00:08:38deep tensions between Washington and Bogota during Gustavo Petro's presidency.
00:08:42"Colombia becomes a new regional ally for the United States, which
00:08:46intends to join the alliance of countries led by Donald Trump to
00:08:50fight drug
00:08:51trafficking.
00:08:54One of the first acts of my government will be to sign the Americas
00:08:58Shield, which will allow us to pool our actions and
00:09:01capabilities to face the threats to national
00:09:05and regional security.
00:09:09The new far-right president has promised a tough approach against the
00:09:12guerrillas funded by cocaine trafficking, of which Colombia
00:09:16is the world's leading producer. Abelardo de la
00:09:19Espriela intends to bury the disarmament negotiations
00:09:22initiated by his predecessor and to bomb
00:09:25the camps of armed groups. He has promised to
00:09:29fight relentlessly against what he calls narcoterrorism,
00:09:32with the support of the Trump administration, also engaged in its
00:09:36war on drugs.
00:09:39As I mentioned in the headlines, is the witch hunt
00:09:42launched in India a few days after the large
00:09:45demonstrations led by the youth of GNZ who obtained the
00:09:50Minister? Dozens of female protesters are now
00:09:54targeted by threats on social networks, disclosure of personal
00:09:57information, revealing their identity. The authorities
00:10:01are also multiplying prosecutions. A report by
00:10:04Navodita Kumari, Janutin and Suel
00:10:07Can.
00:10:10For Junette Malik, 28 years old, the mobilization of the Indian
00:10:14Gen Z represented a moment of hope, but the
00:10:17day before the end of the mobilization, he claims to have
00:10:20been arrested by Delhi police.
00:10:25They were in plain clothes and their faces were covered. The car had
00:10:29no license plate. They blindfolded us and told us, "If
00:10:33you try to remove the blindfold, you can't even imagine what could happen
00:10:36to you." They also warned us, "If you meet the
00:10:40BJP or make the slightest noise, we will prosecute you under the strictest
00:10:43national security and counter-terrorism laws."
00:10:47After a night of intimidation, he was abandoned 250
00:10:51km from Delhi, an experience that still haunts
00:10:54him today. On July 20th, the large
00:10:57demonstration organized in the capital was violently
00:11:00repressed by the police, but according to the organizers, the
00:11:04repression of the movement has not stopped since. He denounces a witch
00:11:08hunt in the courts, but also on social
00:11:11networks. "These young people are lost, it's our duty to show them
00:11:15the right path." Content creator Shrada Singh filmed several
00:11:19humorous videos at the demonstration. These
00:11:22videos quickly reached over a million views.
00:11:29the beginning of a wave of online hate, some people talk to me normally, but others went too
00:11:33far. They used such obscene, such vulgar words that I can't
00:11:36even repeat them on camera, or even tell my
00:11:40friends. They also insulted my mother, then I started receiving
00:11:43rape threats and death threats.
00:11:47Two weeks after the end of the movement, messages of insult and
00:11:50threats continue to pour in, but the young woman refuses
00:11:54to give in to
00:11:57intimidation. If they manage to break me, they will feel authorized to attack
00:12:01other women and stifle their determination too. I will not be
00:12:04intimidated. I will not delete
00:12:08my Instagram account and I will not harm
00:12:10myself.
00:12:13For human rights defenders, this harassment campaign is a coordinated
00:12:17strategy. Its objective is to scare protesters to deter
00:12:20them from returning to the
00:12:22streets.
00:12:27It must not be forgotten that doxing can have very real consequences. It can
00:12:30lead to threats of physical violence, or even actual
00:12:33violence. I also think that detaining protesters without
00:12:37any offense being alleged against them before releasing them
00:12:41afterwards was part of a harassment strategy designed to
00:12:44weaken the movement.
00:12:48If the protesters won their fight, many still have to
00:12:52face legal proceedings.
00:12:55constantly denounces a smear campaign led by far-right
00:12:58groups that is not weakening.
00:13:02That's the end of this edition, thank you for watching, stay with us, information
00:13:05continues on France 24.
00:25:00They live isolated in the mountains of northern Vietnam,
00:25:04on the borders of China and Laos, the Hmong,
00:25:07a people of 10 million people, farmers,
00:25:11formerly nomads, who have kept their language and their
00:25:13songs.
00:25:22"I'm not a very good singer, we sing
00:25:25this song at moment to start a new
00:25:29culture, after the new year, it speaks of the joy
00:25:32that we feel at that moment, but
00:25:35this joy is becoming more and more rare, because of global warming, the
00:25:39longer dry periods damage the
00:25:42rice fields.
00:25:45Pony has been working here since she was a child, only 27
00:25:48years old, she doesn't recognize..."
00:25:53water, but now there is
00:25:56no more, to cultivate rice, you have to wait until it
00:26:00rains and only then can you start. It's time to
00:26:02plant. Ponti, like many families in her
00:26:06village, has therefore chosen to abandon the ancestral cultivation of rice which
00:26:09requires continuous
00:26:11flooding.
00:26:14Now, I only grow taro, because it
00:26:17grows better, and it adapts better to climate
00:26:20change.
00:26:25Taro is gradually becoming a substitute crop, a little better adapted to the
00:26:29lack of water. In this village, it's the second year of...
00:27:03at about 1 m altitude, like her
00:27:05mother, she is worried about what the future holds
00:27:07for her,
00:27:10if the climate changes and there is no more water to cultivate, then I will
00:27:14do like others and I will have to go down to the city to work as a
00:27:16worker, in this region the inhabitants observe increasingly
00:27:20unpredictable seasons, less rigorous winters, droughts and
00:27:24more violent seasons, here the year 2025 was
00:27:28the hottest in 60 years,
00:27:31to avoid a passive rural exodus, an NGO helps the
00:27:34Hmong families adapt to climate change and better manage
00:27:37water, you have already looked at this notebook, you
00:27:41will have to note in it how many kilos you have harvested, how many
00:27:45bags, you have to note
00:27:46everything,
00:27:49but the difficulty is not only agronomic, in these remote
00:27:52and very conservative villages, change often arouses
00:27:56mistrust,
00:27:58because the Hmong hardly speak Vietnamese, we are obliged to translate into...
00:28:02images all the advice and directives that we offer them, it is mandatory because otherwise
00:28:06they do not understand, the information must not be too
00:28:09technical, if we want them to succeed in implementing
00:28:12projects.
00:28:16According to a local study, nearly 40% of farmers in this province
00:28:20of northern Vietnam have already changed crops. The NGO
00:28:24CARE encourages this adaptation based on scientific
00:28:27data analyzed from their office in
00:28:29Hanoi.
00:28:32Among the climatic factors that we monitor, there is first
00:28:36the number of hours of sunshine, then the average air temperature,
00:28:39there is also the amount of water that evaporates that can be observed
00:28:43on the ground, as well as
00:28:45the air.
00:28:49These indicators make it possible to anticipate which crops will still be able to resist
00:28:53in the coming years,
00:28:55before proposing an alternative crop, we study whether it corresponds to the soil, to the
00:28:59climate and whether there is a sales circuit. With
00:29:03our analyzes, we see that taro, peanuts and
00:29:06squash are the most suitable crops, these
00:29:10are plants that can live at this altitude, which require little
00:29:13water and which thrive with significant temperature
00:29:17variations.
00:29:20840 families have joined this crop change project launched in
00:29:232023.
00:29:26The objective is also to lift the Hmong out of precariousness, the first
00:29:29results are already being felt.
00:29:34With this squash harvest, we should earn about €1200.
00:29:37Before, on the same land, we barely earned €100 with rice.
00:29:41riz.
00:29:45In the mountainous north of Vietnam, the Hmong are already
00:29:48experiencing the effects of a climate that could warm by 3.4° in the country
00:29:52by the end of the
00:29:53century.
00:29:58But above all their way of living on these ancestral lands.
00:30:06It's 5 p.m. in Paris, welcome if you are joining us on France
00:30:0924, the opportunity to take a tour of the world news, on
00:30:13the front page, the death toll is rising in Ukraine, four dead in the massive
00:30:17bombardments of the night on Kif and its region, Volodymyr
00:30:20Zelensky denounced the use of ballistic missiles against
00:30:23civilian infrastructure, Moscow claims the
00:30:27attacks, but says it targeted a fuel depot and a weapons
00:30:31factory. Attacks that come as the Ukrainian president
00:30:35makes his first visit to Russia.
00:30:39Russie.
00:30:42The spat between Madrid and Rome is escalating, Spain
00:30:46announces it will implement controls at its borders for travelers from
00:30:49Italy, a retaliatory measure identical to
00:30:53that which Rome had instituted following the Ceuta crisis, we
00:30:56will decrypt the situation with Bruno Darou.
