00:00:06You are still watching France 24,
00:00:09the protection of thank you for being with us, it is 6 PM in Paris, time to
00:00:11take another tour of world news, at the top, the
00:00:15toll is rising in Ukraine, four dead in the
00:00:18massive bombings overnight on Kyiv and its region, Volodymyr
00:00:22Zelensky denounced the use of ballistic missiles
00:00:25against civilian infrastructure. Moscow
00:00:28for its part claims the attacks. which it claims targeted a fuel depot and
00:00:32an arms factory, attacks that come, as you can see, as the
00:00:36Ukrainian president makes his first visit to
00:00:39Serbia, a traditional ally of
00:00:41Russia,
00:00:43tensions are high between Madrid and Rome, Spain
00:00:47announces the implementation of border controls for travelers from
00:00:51Italy, a retaliatory measure
00:00:54identical to the one Rome had instituted following the Ceuta
00:00:58crisis.
00:01:01and then is it the beginning of the witch hunt in India a few
00:01:05against the nomination of Donald days after the agreement between protesters and the government to
00:01:08end the mobilization which cost the Indian Education Minister his job, dozens
00:01:12of protesters
00:01:15are the target of threats and prosecution,
00:01:18their testimony to follow at the end of this
00:01:20newscast.
00:01:34But we start with this worsening toll in
00:01:37Ukraine, four dead in new massive bombings on the
00:01:41capital, Kyiv and its region, a toll given this afternoon by President
00:01:45Volodymyr Zelensky who denounced the use of
00:01:49and the meaning of ballistic missiles against civilian infrastructure. For its part, the
00:01:52Kremlin claims its attack, but says it targeted a fuel
00:01:56Morocco, but hundreds of unaccompanied depot and an arms factory. The explanations
00:01:59with. Emmanuel Chase, correspondent for France 24 in
00:02:02Ukraine. This is not the first time this week that Kyiv and its
00:02:06region have been targeted by Russian attacks. So there
00:02:09were more than 151 drones and most of them were intercepted
00:02:13by Ukrainian anti-aircraft defense, however, of the six
00:02:17missiles that were launched, none could be intercepted, that is the
00:02:20reality for Ukrainian air defense right now, there are
00:02:24not enough interception means for these ballistic
00:02:27missiles, for hypersonic missiles. Russia used
00:02:31them, once again, there were civilian casualties, you
00:02:34mentioned these four people, one body was
00:02:37discovered in Kyiv, and the other three are part of the same family, it is
00:02:41a couple of grandparents, and their 3-year-old grandson, while
00:02:45the parents and their teenage children were injured, they were
00:02:49hospitalized, so it is a daily
00:02:52reality for
00:02:55entered the territory of Ukrainians to find themselves under such strikes, we talked a lot about these strikes that
00:02:58affect the capital. uh and the region, civilian
00:03:02Alliance 3 and senior member of infrastructure has been heavily
00:03:05affected, whether it's the warehouses of some supermarkets uh
00:03:09of which today uh in Kyiv, well there are certain
00:03:12shelves that remain empty because the logistics centers have
00:03:15been impacted and whether it's also
00:03:20everywhere in the world and at all hours of other cities last night uh
00:03:21Convention on the Rights of the other regions last night, the Dnipro region was hit more than 10
00:03:24times again on civilian infrastructure
00:03:28as for Ukrnafta. which produces Ukrainian
00:03:31oil, and well the state
00:03:34company deplores more than seven
00:03:36the best interests of strikes on its infrastructure in the east of the country, while Volodymyr
00:03:40Zelensky recalled
00:03:42words, when you have unaccompanied today that Russia is also attacking
00:03:45infrastructure that affects Ukrainian energy, according
00:03:48to him, all the country's thermal power plants have been either
00:03:52damaged or destroyed in strikes and during that time, as you
00:03:55mentioned, Emmanuel, Volodymyr Zelensky is in
00:03:58Serbia, traditionally allied with Russia, with
00:04:02security issues on the agenda notably
00:04:04absolutely
00:04:08security and not only that, it is a
00:04:11tour of world very busy and symbolic visit since it is the
00:04:14first visit of the Ukrainian
00:04:17four dead in the massive bombing president since he took office and even more so since the large-scale invasion of
00:04:20Ukraine by Russia first visit to Belgrade
00:04:24while Alexander Vučić the Serbian president had already
00:04:28autonomous provinces of visited Ukraine twice in 2025 and more
00:04:31recently in July with other Southern European countries,
00:04:34however, it is true that on
00:04:37Serbia, a traditional ally of defense issues, security issues, in general, Belgrade, has somewhat
00:04:41new album Boulevard de refused to comment finally because we know that traditionally
00:04:44Serbia is closer to Russia, however on the humanitarian
00:04:47aspect, notably, we must not forget that Belgrade has
00:04:51given since 2022, unlocked more than
00:04:5460 million euros to Ukraine, which is not insignificant for a country with
00:04:58a population of approximately 6.2 million
00:05:01inhabitants and then we learned in the late morning,
00:05:05a drone that entered Bulgaria this Saturday morning exploded
00:05:09near the border with Romania and especially approximately
00:05:12a gas pipeline that connects Turkey to Ukraine, you will see it
00:05:16on this map, a gas pipeline that passes through the
00:05:20Balkans, the device was carrying a significant quantity
00:05:23of explosives, according to the first elements of the investigation communicated by the
00:05:27Bulgarian authorities, the drone is a type of aircraft
00:05:31widely used by the Ukrainian armed forces, but
00:05:34nothing suggests that it is a deliberate
00:05:38incident for the moment, no victims are in any
00:05:41case...
00:05:45In the rest of the news in Europe, the diplomatic
00:05:49standoff is intensifying between Madrid and Rome,
00:05:52Spain announces the establishment of temporary
00:05:55border controls at its ports and airports for
00:05:58travelers coming from Italy, a retaliatory
00:06:01measure similar to the one Rome had imposed on Spain
00:06:05following the massive influx of migrants into the enclave of
00:06:08Ceuta. The weather is stormy between the two European
00:06:11allies. Alice Broga.
00:06:15New confrontation between Madrid and Rome on the migration
00:06:18issue. Travelers from Italy will be controlled upon
00:06:22their arrival in Spain at ports and airports, from
00:06:26Saturday midnight until September 7. Madrid thus
00:06:29states its desire to address the persistent irregular migratory
00:06:32pressure experienced by Italy, a way of
00:06:35returning the ball to Rome which used the same argument to
00:06:39implement border controls for travelers coming from Spain.
00:06:43On July 31st, the far-right Italian Prime Minister
00:06:46Giorgia Meloni announced the suspension until August
00:06:5015th of the Schengen agreement on free movement with this
00:06:53country. A measure taken after 72,000 migrants
00:06:57crossed the border between Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in
00:07:00North Africa last week. According to the Spanish
00:07:03government, 7,000 migrants have now returned to
00:07:09children have remained in Ceuta. Some
00:07:13are being registered with the Spanish police, Morocco
00:07:16says it is ready to cooperate with Spain for their
00:07:19repatriation. The figure I can provide you with at this
00:07:23stage is that 1342 boys and
00:07:26girls have been registered and integrated into the reception
00:07:29system. The process continues, of course, the
00:07:32situation has been complex due to the volume of arrivals and a certain
00:07:36overcrowding, but things are gradually returning to
00:07:39normal. According to the Minister of Youth, some
00:07:43minors will be transferred to less saturated reception centers on the
00:07:46Spanish peninsula in the coming weeks, beyond the
00:07:50diplomatic crisis, it is the humanitarian crisis that continues,
00:07:5372,000 initially, they are now nearly
00:07:572,000 according to the authorities to still be in the enclave of Ceuta
00:08:01and almost half, as we mentioned in this report, are
00:08:04unaccompanied minors, to discuss this situation, we
00:08:07welcome Marie-Laure Basilien Guinge, you are a law professor
00:08:11at the University. Jean Moulin,
00:08:14the University Institute of France, thank you for accepting
00:08:18our invitation. The immense majority of migrants who arrived
00:08:21in Ceuta, as we saw, have left. Why can't
00:08:24these minors be sent back
00:08:28directly?
00:08:31So, according to the International
00:08:34Child, which is also
00:08:37an instrument of international law that is targeted by
00:08:40the Charter of Fundamental Rights. European Union which is
00:08:44upheld by Spanish law, uh
00:08:49the child must be given paramount consideration. In other
00:08:52primordiale. autrement dit,
00:08:55minors, in other words, migrant minors, the situation
00:08:59of minors takes precedence over the situation of migrants, including in an
00:09:02irregular situation. Therefore, the authorities must
00:09:06provide protection, child protection for
00:09:10these minors who are...
00:09:12foreign and isolated and of course that poses big
00:09:16questions for the autonomous government of Ceuta
00:09:19because the reception capacity is about a hundred, but there are a
00:09:23thousand unaccompanied minors who are in the enclave
00:09:26today, so the government wants to mobilize
00:09:30a provision that was introduced into its law in 2024 and which
00:09:34allows minors to be distributed by sending them to
00:09:38other
00:09:41Spain. The problem is that the governments of certain
00:09:44provinces led by Vox and by the Popular
00:09:48Party have opposed the reception of these minors,
00:09:51so today there is a difficulty for the enclave of Ceuta to
00:09:55manage this thousand minors who must be
00:09:58considered by the authorities to determine the fact that they are
00:10:02foreign, that they are isolated and that they are indeed
00:10:05minors. About 1100 minors for about 2000 migrants
00:10:09still on site, that means... that they are without family,
00:10:12how can we imagine that they arrived there and can we think
00:10:16that they were sometimes sent against their
00:10:19will knowing that it is then difficult to expel
00:10:23them?
00:10:27uh I find it hard to imagine that there are
00:10:31desires for trafficking
00:10:34in the sending of minors to Ceuta since we know
00:10:38very well that there is a restriction of
00:10:41movement between the enclave and the Iberian Peninsula,
00:10:44so in terms of trafficking it seems completely
00:10:48illusory, perhaps families envisioned that
00:10:52the future would be better for their children. in
00:10:55Europe with a passage through Ceuta, but that also
00:10:59seems highly debatable, we can
00:11:01rather imagine that these are individual initiatives
00:11:05which, mobilized by rumors spread on social networks that
00:11:09were totally unfounded rumors, have led to
00:11:13gatherings and passages of a certain number
00:11:17of unaccompanied minors. You mentioned earlier on
00:11:20site the lack of resources, a cruel lack for care, we are
00:11:24talking about... 90 places, a hundred places to accommodate
00:11:27these minors in Ceuta facing a population of nearly
00:11:311100 minors to be taken care of, Spain has also
00:11:34called for help, how can these minors be taken
00:11:38care of given the much larger population than the available
00:11:41places,
00:11:44well as you said very well, there are about a hundred places, there are more
00:11:47than a thousand minors, so we are in a
00:11:51crisis and emergency situation and therefore there are
00:11:54no... the material means to accommodate
00:11:58them properly, there are not enough associations
00:12:01to ensure follow-up, there are
00:12:04no human means
00:12:07to carry out identifications,
00:12:11age determination
00:12:14the isolation situation, so there is a triple
00:12:18challenge for the Spanish authorities and that is why
00:12:22they are asking, they are requesting the intervention
00:12:25of the other autonomous communities so that
00:12:29they accept to welcome a certain number
00:12:32of unaccompanied minors, we had during the period
00:12:352024/2026 about 720
00:12:39minors who had been
00:12:41uh repatriated from the Canary Islands
00:12:45to other Spanish autonomous communities between during the
00:12:49same period between 2024 and 2026 400
00:12:52minors from Ceuta to other
00:12:55Spanish communities, but we clearly see that here, the
00:12:58situation is of a different scale with 1100 minors who need
00:13:02to be taken care of, and once these minors are taken care of in
00:13:05other Spanish communities, would they enter the Schengen area and thus
00:13:09benefit from the freedom of movement in the Schengen
00:13:11area,
00:13:14so for a minor you have once
00:13:20the Iberian peninsula and if
00:13:23he benefits from the papers allowing him free movement in
00:13:27the area, then free movement is possible, but he must
00:13:30have a regularization of stay and that obviously
00:13:34takes a long time and is very difficult. We will also
00:13:38come back to this humanitarian situation in
00:13:41Ceuta, the alerts are multiplying about the
00:13:44situation of these minors who risk, according to several
00:13:48NGOs present on site, of being victims of abuse
00:13:51and exploitation, so there is an urgent need to take
00:13:54them in charge and to protect them?
00:13:58You are absolutely right, because there are about 1000
00:14:02minors who do not benefit from comprehensive care
00:14:05by the Spanish authorities due to the under-dimensioning
00:14:08of the capacities of the enclave of Ceuta, you have thousands
00:14:11of minors who are actually in the streets, and we know very
00:14:15well that minors who are in the streets, in a situation
00:14:19of isolation, in a situation of alterity
00:14:22and who... are
00:14:25actually available to trafficking networks or
00:14:28exploitation can be totally dependent and subject
00:14:32to the influence of these networks and this greatly worries the
00:14:35associations for the protection of children's rights in particular. There was
00:14:39this meeting at the beginning of the week between the
00:14:42interior ministers of the 27. We know the tensions that
00:14:46animate these relations particularly between Spanish and Italian? Can we imagine
00:14:50that European legislation, particularly that which protects these
00:14:53unaccompanied minors, could be
00:14:55modified under the impetus of supporters of a hard line on
00:14:59immigration?
00:15:02so you know, I can hardly imagine, after the adoption in
00:15:062024 of the European Pact on Migration and Asylum,
00:15:10these 10 instruments which are over 1500 pages
00:15:13supplemented by the reform of the Schengen border code in May
00:15:162024 also and the implementation of the Pact
00:15:20since June 12 2026 that a new
00:15:23reform would be considered? the mechanism, the
00:15:26system that needs to be implemented due to
00:15:30the Pact is of a complexity and requires
00:15:33a high intensity involvement of member states, I do not see how
00:15:37such a reform would be feasible which would add complexity
00:15:40to an already existing super
00:15:43complexity. As for
00:15:46the best interests of the child, we see that whether it is
00:15:50foreign minors or national minors, there are national
00:15:54systems that are under-dimensioned to ensure the necessary child
00:15:58protection against trafficking, against exploitation or against
00:16:01child sexual abuse, so there is rather an
00:16:04under-dimensioning that would need to be addressed by the. at the European
00:16:08level and at the national level. Thank you very much
00:16:10Marie-Laure Basilien Guinge, Professor of Law at
00:16:14Jean-Moulin University in Lyon 3 for having
00:16:17discussed with us on France 24, the situation of minors, therefore
00:16:21still present in large numbers in the enclave of Ceuta.
00:16:24Next, the United States. Donald Trump has
00:16:28his man at the head of American justice. Todd Blanche, his
00:16:31former personal lawyer, was appointed by a very narrow
00:16:3550 votes against 49,
00:16:39two Republican senators voted
00:16:43Trump's confidant, who notably contributed to making the Justice
00:16:46Department an extension of the White
00:16:49House, "I act under the direction of the American president,"
00:16:52declared the man who was Pam Bondi's deputy in recent
00:16:56years, the former Justice Minister fired
00:16:59after her handling of the Epstein affair, since then,
00:17:03Tod Blanche has been serving as interim. and he notably initiated
00:17:06numerous prosecutions against Donald Trump's presumed enemies,
00:17:10causing massive departures of career
00:17:14prosecutors.
00:17:17The American justice system,
00:17:19not yet entirely in Donald Trump's hands, the District
00:17:23of Columbia Appeals Court confirms the suspension
00:17:26of the White House ballroom project, work had been
00:17:29stopped by a judge already in April, for lack of a green
00:17:33light from Congress, a national disgrace. According to Donald
00:17:37Trump.
00:17:38Trump.
00:17:42Will the White House ballroom ever be built?
00:17:46This project, dear to Donald Trump, whose construction began at the end of
00:17:492025, has just been blocked again by American
00:17:52justice. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals has
00:17:56confirmed a decision from last April. The work must
00:17:59stop because it was started without the green light from Congress,
00:18:02which is essential for such a project at the White House. A new
00:18:06setback for Donald Trump. who fiercely defends this
00:18:09construction site, this decision taken when a large part
00:18:12of the work has already been completed and paid for, constitutes a
00:18:16threat to national security of maximum
00:18:19severity, it is also a national
00:18:21disgrace, we will immediately appeal this
00:18:25decision before the Supreme Court of the United States. This
00:18:28ballroom of more than 8300 square meters with a capacity of
00:18:32100 people is financed by private funds according to the American
00:18:35president, but the budget is...
00:19:0870% of his time, the president is a very busy person, he
00:19:11has many things he needs to pay attention to, including the war in
00:19:15Iran. This project does not have unanimous
00:19:18support within the Republican party either, Donald Trump's
00:19:22government now has 14 days to appeal to the American
00:19:25Supreme Court.
00:19:28Washington seals its support for the new Colombian president,
00:19:321 billion dollars in aid has just been promised to
00:19:35Bogota following the inauguration of the new far-right president
00:19:39Abelardo de la Espriella, an ally of Donald
00:19:42Trump, enough to warm up the glacial diplomatic
00:19:45relations in recent years between the two countries,
00:19:49Axel Simon.
00:19:52The Colombian president is barely invested, and Washington is
00:19:55already concretizing its support for the new administration in Bogota.
00:19:59Friday evening, the US State Department announced a billion
00:20:03dollar aid package to support Colombian security policies and economy.
00:20:07subject to Congressional validation. In a statement, the
00:20:11State Department expressed its joy at being able to soon work in close
00:20:14cooperation with the new presidency to guarantee the
00:20:18security and prosperity of the United States, Colombia and
00:20:21our hemisphere. After the deep tensions between Washington and Bogota
00:20:25during Gustavo Petro's presidency, Colombia is becoming
00:20:29a new regional ally for the United States, which intends to join
00:20:32the alliance of countries led by Donald Trump to fight against
00:20:36drug trafficking.
00:20:40One of the first acts of my government will be to sign the Shield of the
00:20:43Americas
00:20:49which will allow us to pool our actions and capabilities to face the threats to national and
00:20:51regional security,
00:20:54the new far-right president has promised a strong approach to
00:20:57guerrillas financed by cocaine trafficking, of which Colombia
00:21:01is the world's leading producer. Abelardo de la
00:21:04Espriella intends to bury the disarmament negotiations of the
00:21:07guerrillas initiated by his predecessor and to engage in
00:21:11bombings against the camps of armed groups. He has promised to fight
00:21:14relentlessly against what he calls narco-terrorism with the
00:21:18support of the Trump administration. also engaged in its anti-drug
00:21:21war. Is the witch hunt
00:21:25launched in India a few days after the large
00:21:29demonstrations led by Gen Z youth who notably
00:21:32obtained the resignation of the Indian Education Minister, dozens
00:21:36of female protesters are targeted by threats on social
00:21:39media. Personal information disclosure, identity
00:21:42revealing, authorities are also multiplying
00:21:46prosecutions. The report by Navodita Kumari, Joan Nutin.
00:21:55years old, the mobilization of Indian GenZ represented a
00:21:59moment of hope, but on the eve of the end of the
00:22:02mobilization, he claims to have been stopped by Delhi
00:22:06police officers,
00:22:08they were in plain clothes and their faces were covered, the car had
00:22:12no license plate, they blindfolded us and told us: "If
00:22:16you try to remove the blindfold, you can't even imagine what could happen..." to
00:22:20you, they also warned us, if you meet the
00:22:23CGP or if you make the slightest noise, we will prosecute you under the strictest
00:22:27national security and counter-terrorism laws.
00:22:31After a night of intimidation, he was abandoned 250
00:22:34km from Delhi, an experience that still haunts
00:22:37him today. On July 20th, the large
00:22:40demonstration organized in the capital was violently
00:22:44suppressed by the police, but according to the organizers, the
00:22:47repression of the movement has not stopped since.
00:23:03filmed several humorous videos at the demonstration site, videos that quickly reached over a million
