00:00:06We're back for another update on the top story of this newscast, Voladimir
00:00:09Zelenski's first trip to Serbia,
00:00:13a historic ally of Russia. The Ukrainian president
00:00:16is seeking to strengthen international support as Russian strikes
00:00:19multiply. Besides the human toll, he is concerned about the coming
00:00:23winter after the destruction of almost all Ukrainian
00:00:27thermal power plants. The tug-of-war between Madrid and Rome. "Checks on
00:00:31countries have called for Spain's Italian travelers in Spain began today.
00:00:34For now, nothing has eased tensions
00:00:38Ceuta.
00:00:41Two weeks after the end of student mobilization in India, dozens
00:00:44of demonstrators are facing intimidation and
00:00:47harassment. The repression observed during the movement has
00:00:50continued in other
00:00:51forms.
00:01:06Volodimir Zelenski visited Serbia today, a traditional
00:01:10ally of Moscow. Ukraine is seeking to strengthen
00:01:13international support in the face of intensifying Russian
00:01:16Blench is now the new Minister of strikes. In recent days, they have multiplied, particularly in Kyiv
00:01:19and its region. The latest strike, last night, killed at least four
00:01:23people.
00:01:26The victims' bodies are being removed from the sites,
00:01:30under the astonished gaze of the
00:01:31Tonight we're going out to drink residents of this residential area in the Kyiv
00:01:35region. Only debris and burnt-out
00:01:38cars remain. Here, Russian shelling has killed several people,
00:01:42including a child, and injured about ten, with
00:01:45survivors in a state of shock. Our doors and
00:01:48windows were blown out. I immediately checked if my husband
00:01:52was alive, because he was in another room. We
00:01:56went outside and everything had already burned. My husband rushed to
00:01:59chercher. l'eau afin d'éteindre l'incendie, mais
00:02:02in vain. The neighbors came out to try to save a young
00:02:05child, but they didn't find him. All
00:02:09this week, Kyiv and its region have suffered a deluge of
00:02:12fire, intense nocturnal Russian shelling, and a Ukrainian
00:02:16anti-aircraft defense,
00:02:18unable to shoot down a single missile due to a lack
00:02:20of interceptors. In the capital,
00:02:24the military administration called on residents to go to shelters
00:02:27to escape Russian ballistic missiles.
00:02:31Faced with the difficulties Ukraine is facing, Voladimir
00:02:34Zelenski is active on the diplomatic front to maintain the
00:02:38support of his allies and even that of countries like
00:02:41Serbia, traditionally close to
00:02:44Moscow. We are developing all forms of
00:02:47give our cities and communities
00:02:50greater resilience and
00:02:54challenges of the war. We
00:02:57welcome this humanitarian
00:03:00Serbia, particularly in the areas of health and
00:03:03energy. A rapprochement between Kyiv and
00:03:06Belgrade, which is not to the Kremlin's liking. In May
00:03:102025, Russian intelligence was already accusing Serbian arms
00:03:13companies of selling ammunition to Ukraine
00:03:16via third countries. Bulgaria
00:03:20summons the Ukrainian ambassador after the explosion
00:03:23on its soil of a drone used by the Kyiv
00:03:26a gas pipeline this morning, not far from the
00:03:30border with Romania. There were no casualties. Ukraine
00:03:34claims not to have
00:03:37clarify
00:03:39the incident.
00:03:42Also in the news, this diplomatic tug-of-war between Spain and
00:03:46Italy. Checks began today in Spain for
00:03:50travelers from Italy. Random checks,
00:03:53not systematic ones. Tensions between
00:03:57since the migrant crisis in Ceuta.
00:04:03Identity checks
00:04:05upon the arrival of Italian tourists on the tarmac of Madrid
00:04:08airport. A surprising measure for
00:04:12travelers, accustomed to
00:04:15Union. Inspections also
00:04:20the human toll, he is concerned about at the security gate leading to the Thailand, if you have airport hall. Spanish
00:04:22police have had strict instructions since this Saturday.
00:04:26Any Italian arriving in the territory by plane, boat,
00:05:00The number of red cards is attacked from all sides. What is happening is
00:05:02unjustifiable.
00:05:05The Spanish Prime Minister has been under fire
00:05:08since the migrant crisis that the Ceuta
00:05:11enclave experienced last July 31st.
00:05:1472,000 migrants entered there, almost
00:05:17all of whom have since been sent back to Moroccan soil. But
00:05:21this episode caused strong tensions with
00:05:24Rome, which immediately requested the temporary suspension of the
00:05:27Schengen free movement treaty with Madrid until August
00:05:3115th. An extraordinary measure, according to far-right
00:05:35leader Georgia Meloni, aimed at preserving the country's
00:05:38national security. In total, 22 EU
00:05:44exclusion from the Schengen area. But in
00:05:46reality, such a decision is legally impossible,
00:05:50and for Madrid, this diplomatic
00:05:53unfair, contrary to the interests of the EU, and
00:05:56discriminatory towards
00:05:58Spaniards.
00:06:01He was Donald Trump's lawyer. He is now confirmed
00:06:04as Minister of Justice. Todd Blench narrowly
00:06:07secures the confirmation of his appointment. The Senate
00:06:11approved it by a very narrow majority. He has held this position since
00:06:15April on an interim basis. The update with Julien
00:06:17Dubois.
00:06:19He was Donald Trump's lawyer when the president was found
00:06:22guilty of 34 counts in 2024. Todd
00:06:28Justice for the Trump administration. He has held this position
00:06:32on an interim basis since April. His official
00:06:35nomination has been long awaited; it has just been confirmed by the
00:06:38Senate. He received 50 votes for and 49 votes
00:06:42against. The nomination is confirmed, a
00:06:45narrow nomination because two Republican senators voted
00:06:48against.
00:06:51Donald Trump in three criminal
00:06:53cases.
00:06:56Blanche, he became number 2 in the Department of
00:06:59Justice.
00:07:08before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Are you friends with President
00:07:11Trump? "I am his lawyer, I was his lawyer, and I
00:07:15am now Deputy Attorney General." A
00:07:18closeness criticized by Democrats.
00:07:22Your mandate can be summed up in the four words you addressed to President
00:07:25Trump, I quote: "I love you, sir." This country
00:07:29deserves a Minister of Justice who loves the Constitution, committed to the
00:07:33security of the United States and to fighting corruption, and not to
00:07:37satisfying the President's personal grievances.
00:07:41Since Todd took over the Ministry of Justice on an interim basis,
00:07:44prosecutions have been initiated against suspected enemies of Donald
00:07:48Trump. Mass departures of prosecutors have been caused,
00:07:51according to some sources. His next measures would notably include a tougher
00:07:55dure en matière de poursuite liée à
00:07:57immigration.
00:08:00Is the witch hunt launched in India? A few
00:08:03days after the end of the youth-led protests that
00:08:07led to the resignation of the Indian Minister of Education, dozens
00:08:10of these protesters are targeted by threats on social
00:08:14media, personal information disclosure, identity
00:08:18revelation. The authorities are also increasing prosecutions against
00:08:22them. Watch this report by Navodita Kumari, Janutin
00:08:26and Sou
00:08:26Alcan.
00:08:30For Junette Malik, 28 years old, the mobilization of Indian
00:08:33GenZ represented a moment of hope. But
00:08:37the day before the end of the mobilization, he claims to have
00:08:40been arrested by police officers from...
00:08:45They were in plain clothes and their faces were covered. The car had
00:08:49no license plate. They blindfolded us and said: "If
00:08:52you try to remove the blindfold, you can't even imagine what could happen
00:08:56to you." They also warned us, if you meet
00:08:59or make the slightest noise, we will prosecute you under the strictest
00:09:03national security and counter-terrorism laws.
00:09:07After a night of intimidation, he was abandoned 250
00:09:11km from Delhi. An experience that still haunts
00:09:14him today. On July 20th, the large
00:09:17demonstration organized in the capital was violently
00:09:20repressed by the police. But according to the organizers, the
00:09:24repression of the movement has not stopped since. He denounces a witch
00:09:27hunt in the courts, but also on social
00:09:31media. These young people are lost, it is our duty to show
00:09:35them the right path. Content creator Shrada Sing filmed
00:09:38several humorous videos at the demonstration sites. Videos
00:09:42that quickly reached over a million views, the
00:09:45beginning of a wave of online hate.
00:09:49Some people talk to me quite normally, but others went
00:09:52way too far. They used words so obscene, so vulgar that I can't
00:09:56even repeat them in front of a camera, or even tell my
00:09:59friends. They also insulted my mother. Then I started receiving
00:10:03rape threats and death threats.
00:10:07Two weeks after the end of the movement, insulting and threatening
00:10:10messages continue to pour in. But the young woman refuses to give in to
00:10:14intimidation.
00:10:17If they manage to break me, they will feel authorized to attack
00:10:21other women and stifle their determination too.
00:10:25"I will not be intimidated, I will not delete my Instagram
00:10:28account, and I will not harm
00:10:30myself."
00:10:33For human rights defenders, this campaign of harassment is a coordinated
00:10:37strategy. Its objective is to scare protesters to
00:10:40dissuade them from returning to the
00:10:42streets.
00:10:46We must not forget that doxing can have very real consequences. It can
00:10:50lead to threats of physical violence, or even actual
00:10:53violence. I also think that detaining protesters
00:10:57without any offense being held against them, before releasing
00:11:00them afterwards, was a harassment strategy designed to
00:11:04weaken the movement.
00:11:08While the protesters won their fight, many still
00:11:11face legal proceedings. The
00:11:14female protesters denounce a smear campaign by far-right
00:11:18groups that is not weakening. The
00:11:21masculinist movement worries French anti-terrorist
00:11:25services. This ideology, which embraces hatred
00:11:28of women, can lead to violent acts. Several
00:11:32dozen individuals have already been arrested. They exchanged extremely
00:11:35violent messages towards women. Who are
00:11:39they? Investigation by Camille Gutin, Isabelle de Lyon, Justine
00:11:42Waay.
00:11:45They are nurses, subway drivers, or even prison
00:11:48guards. 45 men who were part of a
00:11:52discussion channel related to masculinism have just
00:11:55been arrested. On this platform, they disseminated
00:11:59misogynistic content and incitement to hatred. We found some
00:12:03of their messages.
00:12:07one of the cornerstones of the white patriarchal empire will be to severely punish women who refuse
00:12:11their husbands. Liberated women are
00:12:13sluts.
00:12:161758 men used this channel. However, no typical
00:12:19profile emerges.
00:12:23The defendants residing throughout the territory appear to be socially
00:12:26integrated, with the majority having jobs and varied socioeconomic
00:12:30classes.
00:12:32The men will be brought before justice at the end of the year,
00:12:36an ideology that can also lead to violent acts against
00:12:40women. The DGSI has qualified this movement as a high
00:12:43terrorist risk. A Senate report warns of the growing
00:12:46threat. These men consider themselves to be
00:12:49victims of equality between women and men. They truly
00:12:53hate women because they blame
00:12:57women for everything that goes wrong
00:13:00threat is real, it's for all of us. Last year
00:13:04in Saint-Étienne, an 18-year-old man was arrested near this
00:13:08high school. He was armed with two knives and wanted to attack
00:13:11women. The boy reportedly watched several masculinist
00:13:14videos on social media. For
00:13:18experts, radicalization can happen in a few months through
00:13:21small groups. What is unique to masculinism is
00:13:25collective action, meaning that an individual will frequent several
00:13:29groups, adhere to several types of discourse, have
00:13:33problems in his own life, have a greater propensity for
00:13:36violent acts, and at that point, will act.
00:13:39According to authorities, several dozen minors have
00:13:43been identified by the DGSI and are being taken care of to be
00:13:47deradicalized.
00:13:50We finish with spectacular images, those of the impressive
00:13:54diving competition from the Bir-Hakeim bridge, facing the Eiffel Tower,
00:13:57one of the competitions of the European
00:14:01Aquatics Championships taking place in Paris. After four dives, it was
00:14:05Romanian Katalin Petropreda who won the
00:14:08European champion title, ahead of Italian Andrea
00:14:11Barnaba and French Gary Hunt,
00:14:1442, a veteran of the
00:14:16competition.
00:14:21The news continues on France 24. We'll be back in a moment for another news update.
00:14:51Their future hangs in the balance.
00:14:55Draw a red card and it's 2 years of compulsory
00:14:58military service.
00:15:08A black card and it's
00:15:09exemption.
00:15:17Each year, the Thai army requisitions nearly 100,000 young
00:15:20men for military service. This
00:15:23ritual attracts families and curious
00:15:25onlookers.
00:15:28Conscription resembles a TV game.
00:15:31Videos go viral in a few hours.
00:15:35But for those who draw the wrong card, it's a
00:15:38sentence.
00:15:42And the risk this year, to be sent to
00:15:45war.
00:15:50In 2025, Cambodia and Thailand clashed.
00:15:54The cause was the disputed border between the two
00:15:56countries.
00:15:59A hundred dead, more than a million displaced.
00:16:03A fragile ceasefire was signed at the end of December.
00:16:37present for the draw.
00:16:40In this temple, young men and their families come to pray to escape
00:16:43the army.
00:16:46They leave offerings to this local deity, a woman whose
00:16:50husband reportedly died in
00:16:51war.
00:16:55In Thailand, a 90% Buddhist country, faith and
00:16:59popular beliefs accompany the great moments of
00:17:01life. Conscription is
00:17:04one of them.
00:17:08Each astrologer tells the families of young adults what ritual
00:17:12to perform, what gesture to avoid on the day of the
00:17:14draw.
00:17:17Everyone is afraid with the war, parents are afraid that their children will go to the front, that's why they
00:17:21come here to ask for help from the
00:17:23deities.
00:17:26Natakit, a 21-year-old mechanic, came to pray and seek
00:17:29advice.
00:17:33You must keep this offering, okay? You
00:17:36keep it with you.
00:18:12It's the big day. Every April, all 21-year-old
00:18:16Thai men must report for army duty. Meeting at
00:18:207am, flag raising and national
00:18:22anthem.
00:18:30Natakit meets his two friends. They try to
00:18:33I really want to get that card.
00:18:43As a mechanic in the family business, Natakit earns 500
00:18:46euros a month. In the army for 2 years, he would earn half
00:18:50that salary. This is a problem especially for the
00:18:53poorest families.
00:18:55For the mayor of the town present
00:18:59today, it is nevertheless a good system, a way to
00:19:02remind every man of his duty to his
00:19:04nation.
00:19:07Maybe some people see it as wasted time, but I think it
00:19:10brings discipline and that's what the country needs for the
00:19:14future. Next step, the medical
00:19:17examination. Officially, no one
00:19:20escapes it, not even Buddhist
00:19:22monks. Transgender women must also report
00:19:26for duty. The country does not legally recognize gender change
00:19:30on official documents. Having a gender change certificate
00:19:34increases your chances of being exempted. Before
00:19:38a 2012 law, transgender people were classified as having permanent
00:19:41mental disorders. This interview is always a source of
00:19:45stress. Soup, 21 years old,
00:19:48dreaded coming
00:19:49today.
00:19:55I was scared before coming, because it's really a man's
00:19:59world. I think I'm the only transgender woman
00:20:02here. I was afraid they would get my
00:20:06name wrong. It doesn't work. I didn't want to go to the
00:20:10army.
00:20:16For Natakit, the hours pass, the tension slowly
00:20:19rises.
00:20:23I can't take it anymore, we've been waiting for so long. I just want it to
00:20:26be over.
00:20:29The lottery ritual has existed since
00:20:311954. It is very
00:20:34codified.
00:20:38depends on the army's needs at the
00:20:39regional level.
00:20:43Today, there will be 50 red cards for 112
00:20:46recruits. These young people don't know it yet,
00:20:50but they have almost a one in two chance of joining the army.
00:21:07Natakit and his friend are calculating in real time. The more red
00:21:11cards that come out, the less chance they have of drawing
00:21:13one.
00:21:39Natakit will not go to the army. He will be
00:21:42free to use his next two
00:21:44years.
00:21:53I can't tell you how happy I am. I was so tense. It's truly a
00:21:57relief.
00:22:01But for his friend, on the other hand, it's dismay.
00:22:21alcohol, but I'm really
00:22:24disgusted.
00:22:28What worries Natakit's friend, who is going to the army, is also what
00:22:31awaits him there in the
00:22:32camps.
00:22:38Behind these promotional images, the reality in Thai
00:22:41military camps often makes headlines for its
00:22:43excesses.
00:22:46Humiliation, beatings, corporal punishment.
00:23:01The most emblematic case, Nari
00:23:05Sarawan's uncle.
00:23:07In 2011, this Buddhist monk died while on military
00:23:11service after being beaten and tortured by
00:23:14officers.
00:23:21and as those who suffered it want to get revenge, it doesn't
00:23:23stop.
00:23:27My uncle was flogged with bamboo sticks. He had bruises all over his
00:23:30body. He was hit by sharp military
00:23:33boots. The autopsy even revealed that salt had been rubbed on
00:23:37his wounds.
00:23:44The young Thai woman, then 18 years old, dared to prosecute the military in
00:23:47court. The face of the fight against the army,
00:23:51but also the target of threats. For 12
00:23:54years, she denounced a system of submission and oppression against
00:23:57conscripts.
00:24:00At one point, I told myself that if I had to give my life for this
00:24:03fight, then I would do it. I
00:24:07wanted to fight to the end to change
00:24:10things.
00:24:16She eventually won in 2023, against all odds.
00:24:208 soldiers were
00:24:21imprisoned.
00:24:25A thunderclap in this country where the all-powerful army has been responsible for 12 successful
00:24:28coups since 1932.
00:24:32Generals have often governed
00:24:33Thailand.
00:24:41Here is one of the rare parties to dare to ask for army and conscription
00:24:42reform.
00:24:50A modern and professional army, with good salaries and
00:24:54benefits.
00:24:57The People's Party is one of the rare ones to acknowledge the bribes that plague
00:25:00conscription. Every year, thousands of young people from
00:25:04wealthy families escape it. In
00:25:08money, you can escape the lottery. Some pay
00:25:11bribes. It still
00:25:15exists. Now people no longer have faith in
00:25:18institutions.
00:25:22People with money can get away with violating the
00:25:25law.
00:25:302 hours east of Bangkok, we find
00:25:33Thorn, the young man who drew the red card and will go to the
00:25:35army.
00:25:42His father also participated in the military lottery. He had
00:25:45drawn a black card. He is finding it hard
00:25:48to grasp what his son will experience.
00:25:52When I watch the news, we see a lot of bad things about the army,
00:25:56so I'm worried about him. The training will be
00:25:59tough.
00:26:03A breeder of fighting cocks, Thorn had to find a friend to replace
00:26:07him and not lose his job on this
00:26:09farm.
00:26:17It's not fair. Rich people don't have to rely on their
00:26:21luck. Their money can fix everything. But I don't have much
00:26:25money, and I also didn't have any luck. And with
00:26:29the war going on right now, it's true that the news is scary. Life is
00:26:33dangerous for
