00:00:00on Sunday in the journal de l'Afrique on France
00:00:0224.
00:00:08Around the world with a new newspaper, the headlines of which are as follows: Russia and
00:00:11Ukraine continue to trade blows. Last night was deadly on
00:00:15both sides, two people were killed in the Moscow region, in the
00:00:19outskirts of Kyiv, there are at least four dead including three
00:00:22up after the AFD's breakthrough children.
00:00:25We continue to follow this ongoing vote in Germany this Sunday,
00:00:28legislative elections in... Lender, that of Berlin and that of
00:00:32Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Two high-risk
00:00:35elections for Chancellor Mertz, more unpopular than
00:00:38ever. Antoine Mariotti will tell us why in a
00:00:41moment. Hello to you, right away.
00:00:43suite.
00:00:47And as for the Middle East, Washington says it fears a rapid escalation
00:00:50after the attack carried out by the Houthis
00:00:54Quentin Muller, I suggest you yesterday on Riyadh, a fuel depot was hit, another missile would have
00:00:57on the local market, the squash then been intercepted and destroyed according to Saudi Arabia. you say:
00:01:13hundreds of Ukrainian drones launched on the Russian capital
00:01:16Moscow and its region, that was last night, a refinery and residential
00:01:19areas were hit, two people were killed in this massive
00:01:23attack carried out on the 3rd day of a legislative vote which has been held since
00:01:27Friday in Russia, in Ukraine the night was
00:01:30also deadly, five people were killed including three children. The
00:01:33latest images commented by Axel
00:01:36Chamber of Agriculture and Fisheries, Simon.
00:01:39According to the mayor of Moscow, it is an unprecedented Ukrainian offensive.
00:01:42the extreme division of government The Russian capital and its region were the target of several hundred Ukrainian
00:01:46drones. While most were
00:01:48and neck with the intercepted and shot down, several escaped Russian
00:01:51anti-aircraft defense and notably struck several floors of a residential
00:01:54building in the capital or this oil
00:01:57refinery. Other devices fell in this residential
00:02:01area of Sofino in the Moscow region, causing casualties
00:02:04and significant damage.
00:02:08I was leaving my building, I had walked about twenty steps from the entrance when
00:02:12the explosion sounded, the windows shattered, people started
00:02:16screaming, I turned around, the entrance doors had been
00:02:19blown away, there were injured, probably even one
00:02:22dead, but we can't be sure, the emergency services arriving
00:02:25on site didn't let us get close, this
00:02:29massive attack of Ukrainian drones comes in a context
00:02:32of intensifying fighting on both sides, a series of Russian strikes
00:02:36on more than 30 sites including the Kyiv
00:02:40this text is being held in Paris, Place de region killed several people including children on Saturday and
00:02:42crossing, her sense of Sunday. This offensive also comes on the 3rd and last day of voting in Russia
00:02:46and has been denounced by the Russian authorities as aiming to
00:02:50disrupt the voting process. In the Kherson region, a southern
00:02:53region of Ukraine controlled by Russia, a drone notably
00:02:55killed several people including an employee of the electoral
00:02:59commission, more than 4 and a half years after the start of the
00:03:02large-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, these
00:03:05legislative elections aim to renew the Duma, the lower house of the Russian
00:03:08parliament. In a context of repression of all forms of
00:03:12opposition, it should, unsurprisingly, result in the victory
00:03:17satisfied with of Vladimir Putin's party. In the news this Sunday, also this
00:03:20high-risk election in Germany, a risky election for the German
00:03:24Chancellor first and foremost, Friedrich Merz, weakened by the rise of the far
00:03:27right in Saxony-Anhalt, that was 2
00:03:30weeks ago, this time we are voting in two federal states, that of
00:03:33Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and
00:03:37then in the region of Berlin, where the Chancellor's
00:03:41CDU and the radical left are neck and neck, Julien
00:03:44Dubois.
00:03:46two regional elections and a day that could be
00:03:49decisive for the future of Friedrich Merz at the head of
00:03:531953, well since the Germany, in the capital have melons that will allow them to Berlin, both city and
00:03:56region, the Chancellor's party, the CDU, could lose
00:03:59the mayoralty. The latest polls announce a close
00:04:02result between the radical left party Die Linke and the
00:04:05Christian Democrats. The AFD, the far-right party, is
00:04:09credited with 18% of voting intentions, double its score in the
00:04:13last elections of 2023.
00:04:15disappearing completely from In the rural state of Mecklenburg-
00:04:17the political scene in the other region of Western Pomerania, the CDU is also threatened. The party
00:04:21is completely out of the running for victory. According to the
00:04:25latest polls, it should be between the Social Democrats and the AFD
00:04:28who are neck and neck. In this region, the far
00:04:32right is supported by determined voters, the current
00:04:36government has done nothing in 9 years, I continue to manage as best I can,
00:04:39but I still haven't been able to turn on the heating in winter.
00:04:43What do I want? I want things
00:04:45to get better.
00:04:48things like the rise in gasoline And that asylum seekers who come here don't get everything they
00:04:50want.
00:04:53According to the polls, the Chancellor's party is only credited with 7%
00:04:57of the votes, not far from the 5% needed to be represented in
00:05:01the regional parliament, a non- qualification of the CDU would be a
00:05:04first in post-war Germany. two weeks after the AFD's victory in
00:05:08Saxony, this Sunday's score could represent a double
00:05:11setback for...
00:05:14Upon his arrival at the chancellery 16 months ago, he promised to curb
00:05:17the rise of the AFD, a sign that the results of this Sunday
00:05:21could have repercussions on his future. Friedrich Merz has
00:05:25convened a crisis meeting of the CDU, it will be held just
00:05:28after the announcement of the first
00:05:29estimates.
00:05:33So that's it for the stakes of this election, we will continue with the analysis
00:05:37of Antoine Mariotti. Antoine, we just saw in the report by Julien Dubois, so in this
00:05:40state of Mecklenburg- Western Pomerania, it's more of a
00:05:43duel between the Social Democrats of the SPD and
00:05:47the far right, the AFD, we'll come back a little later to the Chancellor's party, but it
00:05:51simply risks disappearing. Yes, we are really in a radically
00:05:55different situation from that of Berlin, so the other election of the day where the CDU is
00:05:58still in the lead or in a position to govern, but neck and neck with the far left this
00:06:02time, the radical left of Die Linke, while there very clearly in
00:06:06Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, it simply risks disappearing from the
00:06:10political scene, which would be a first
00:06:14in the recent history of the country because you have to reach
00:06:175% of the votes to be able to enter parliament and there for
00:06:21now according to the polls we are at 6 we are at 7 at most so we are
00:06:25really close to this fateful 5%
00:06:28barrier and obviously it's extremely problematic, especially since there is a margin
00:06:32of error in the polls as we know and there is a desire at the moment for the population to
00:06:36punish the current government of Friedrich Merz so there is a
00:06:39real possibility that he will no longer be in
00:06:43power at all while the AFD, the far right,
00:06:47which was largely in the lead and won the elections in
00:06:50Saxony 2 weeks ago, is also leading with
00:06:5437% of voting intentions. When I say
00:06:57leading, it's still neck
00:07:01SPD, so the Social Democrats who are in the
00:07:04coalition at the national level with the CDU, but
00:07:07there is a real possibility
00:07:10that the far right will win, that said, behind
00:07:14them, they could not govern alone, so it's not for nothing that they will govern the country and
00:07:18that they would have enough votes, but in any case there is an
00:07:21extreme difficulty for Friedrich Merz in this
00:07:25region, which is a region in the northeast of Germany where
00:07:29notably the rise in fuel prices has played a big role in recent
00:07:33weeks and months with the consequences of the war
00:07:36in Iran, it has been a region where people use their cars a lot, it's not in the
00:07:40city center, not at all in Berlin, you see a radically
00:07:42different situation and Friedrich Merz tried to launch emergency
00:07:46measures on gasoline a few days ago, the far right said but you
00:07:50're joking, the trick is a little too obvious, the German
00:07:53Chancellor is more unpopular than ever, you spoke earlier of your sanction, he
00:07:57heard voters also express themselves and state their
00:08:00decision, their intention to vote, he has been in power for 16 months,
00:08:04Friedrich Merz now, what
00:08:07else is he blamed for, then beyond other things that have
00:08:11been put forward, lack of charisma, who... also has difficulty reaching out to others, but
00:08:14it's a protest vote clearly, a vote about his record
00:08:18over the last 16 months and how the AFD would do better, 16
00:08:22months and not even 16% approval rating
00:08:25because only 13% of Germans today say they are
00:08:29Friedrich Merz's actions, so
00:08:32this German Chancellor who, according to the
00:08:35Infratest dimap institute, they are the ones who say
00:08:39that 13% of Germans are satisfied, it's the lowest
00:08:42rate ever recorded for a sitting Chancellor by this institute, it still shows
00:08:46the problem, he hasn't been there for 5, 10 years, there's no power fatigue,
00:08:50simply he's blamed on the one hand for going too fast, too far in
00:08:53some reforms, on taxation, on
00:08:57pensions for example, on health also, even if he was elected on a reform
00:09:01program, except that it's a coalition, so he doesn't have completely free rein, within his
00:09:04own party, he's sometimes blamed for being a bit too flexible with his
00:09:08SPD allies within the coalition,
00:09:12some... moreover, do not hesitate to circulate names of
00:09:15potential replacements in case Friedrich Merz is forced to resign
00:09:19tonight if there was a double failure finally, both losing
00:09:22Berlin, which would be a blow, it's the capital, and at the same time
00:09:30eastern Germany, Mecklenburg- Western Pomerania, because there it
00:09:33would become unlivable, it's a matter of political survival for now, well
00:09:37clearly for Friedrich Merz, that doesn't mean the far right would do better, but
00:09:41the far right, like the radical left, ultimately often plays on fears,
00:09:45we just heard that lady in particular who talks about
00:09:48caricatures also sometimes, and while for example the number of
00:09:51asylum seekers has never been so low, he is bringing that down for Friedrich
00:09:55Merz so, but that is not necessarily credited to him and you have everyday
00:10:00prices that I was talking about earlier that he cannot curb, well that
00:10:04clearly plays into the daily lives
00:10:07of Germans, so it's quite difficult
00:10:10for him to get out of it. It's hard to see how he's going to succeed, maybe he will,
00:10:14as I told you for now, he intends to continue implementing the reforms,
00:10:18he says, agreed with the coalition, in other words, you're very nice but I'm not
00:10:22alone and we're all in the same boat, so it's a bit easy to throw me out with the bathwater,
00:10:26now will he succeed, everything will depend a lot on these
00:10:29two elections, and we'll see what the first trends
00:10:33are after the closing of the polling stations, we also know that a meeting will
00:10:36be held, absolutely, a meeting also called by the
00:10:40Chancellor at the end of this day, thank you very much for participating
00:10:44because two weeks ago not many people showed
00:10:47in Saxony, thank you very much, thank you Antoine for these elements of
00:10:51understanding, we now turn to the situation in the Middle East, the
00:10:55Americans say they fear a rapid escalation after the attack on Riyadh
00:10:58claimed by the Houthis last night, another missile was then reportedly fired but
00:11:02intercepted this time and destroyed if we are to believe the
00:11:05statement of a spokesman for the coalition led by Saudi Arabia, the kingdom
00:11:09is today in a very complicated situation and without the support
00:11:12of the Americans, that's what our guest told us a little earlier,
00:11:16journalist and Yemen specialist,
00:11:19listen to him. The Saudis are in a very
00:11:23difficult position, very difficult because today they are the ones who are
00:11:26attacked on their own territory, they do not, as you said,
00:11:29have the support of the Americans so they do not want to go it alone either,
00:11:33for years the Saudis have been postponing the deadline for a new
00:11:36confrontation with the Houthis and as long as they do not have the support of the
00:11:39international community, they will not
00:11:42fully re-engage militarily as was the case in 2015 and 2015
00:11:46was a terrible failure, many bombings that created
00:11:49that tarnished the image of the kingdom that killed many civilians and
00:11:53in the end they did not win the war so they will not
00:11:57they will not go back to a total war and in the meantime this status quo
00:12:00benefits the Houthis because we can see that they are advancing
00:12:04militarily and they are advancing due to
00:12:07forces not only their military forces because the government forces also
00:12:11have the means but they are very divided
00:12:15Faced with the multiple provocations of the American President and his desire
00:12:19to annex territory, Emmanuel Macron recalled a reality from
00:12:22the archipelago of Saint Pierre and Miquelon,
00:12:25this territory is French, he was reacting, among other things, to a
00:12:29map, a false map published by the American president on his network
00:12:32on which the archipelago of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon and Canada of Prime Minister Marc
00:12:36Carney received instantly by Emmanuel Macron, both appeared
00:12:40under the American flag, the two men
00:12:43therefore also intend to send a clear message to the American president and show their
00:12:46unity, Canada, France, all in all, same
00:12:49fight,
00:12:52they must also share a lunch.
00:12:55in France this time, this mobilization this
00:12:58weekend against the adoption of a bill, a
00:13:01demonstration against
00:13:05la République, elected officials of the La France Insoumise party and activists,
00:13:09members of collectives against police violence are
00:13:12on site, you can see them on screen, this text, if it is
00:13:16adopted, would allow law enforcement to claim self-defense every
00:13:19time they use their firearms, I propose you listen to these testimonials
00:13:23collected on this...
00:13:27the republic, there is a petition that has
00:13:30been signed by 73,000 people, knowing that many could not
00:13:33sign because it was closed at some point,
00:13:37which is an obvious denial of democracy,
00:13:40and that there is already
00:13:43a lot of police violence for
00:13:46years and that this law legitimizes
00:13:49it and it's unacceptable, they tell us yes but all police officers are not like
00:13:52that, well in fact institutions...
00:13:55uh they must be irreproachable, it's not possible for
00:13:59police officers to allow the comments we heard in Carcassonne
00:14:02or elsewhere, uh to trust this police
00:14:06that scares us, a racist
00:14:08police that is not uh that is not punished for its racism and
00:14:12for its actions, me as a girl I haven't always been
00:14:16targeted by this violence but the people around me
00:14:20uh we know that the police are very discriminatory, they don't always target
00:14:24the right people. and that's what we want today, we want it to change
00:14:27and it's very scary even when our little brothers go out in the street we don't know
00:14:31if they will come home and it's horrible and it's especially for things that
00:14:35don't deserve it and today we see that the police now it's not just in these cases it's also for
00:14:39feminists it's also for all women it's it's for everyone so that's why today it's becoming very
00:14:43worrying and the fact that not everyone realizes it is still the most
00:14:46serious thing, that's it for these comments collected by Valentine
00:14:49Herbe, stay with us on France 24 for the rest of the
00:14:52world tour.
00:15:08Now it's time for your weekly magazine, it's Outrem,
00:15:11watch,
00:15:15France 24 and La Première
00:15:18present, hello and welcome to
00:15:21Outremer l'hebdo, an edition dedicated to the news
00:15:25of French overseas territories around the world, headlining this
00:15:29week, the effects of the El Niño phenomenon are being
00:15:31felt as far as the Antilles with abnormally high
00:15:35temperatures in Martinique and new episodes of intense heat in
00:15:39perspective, see you soon,
00:15:57but first these images of the Guyanese sky and this new
00:16:00success for the Vega C launcher, the rocket
00:16:03took off from the Kourou space center on the night of September
00:16:0714th to 15th with two European observation
00:16:11satellites on board, their mission, to better detect
00:16:14episodes linked to climate change and monitor the
00:16:17health of plants. It's
00:16:20one of the solutions to get rid of the sargassum that
00:16:24is invading the beaches of the Caribbean. In Guadeloupe, the
00:16:27future Sargator 4 ship will soon be operational,
00:16:31designed on site, it should improve the collection capacities
00:16:34of these toxic brown algae. We will see that with Jean-Michel
00:16:37Mazrol and our teams on site.
00:16:41Already the first pieces of the future Sargator, this special boat
00:16:45designed to recover sargassum algae that pollute the coasts
00:16:49of the Antilles at sea. Barely signed the contract, this Guadeloupean company is
00:16:52already at work. It has 5 months for its version 4 of this
00:16:56revolutionary ship to be operational. This is the first
00:17:00cut piece of the Sargator 4 in the STMI workshops
00:17:03of which we are quite proud here because it is a boat for
00:17:07Guadeloupe. The Sargator 4 will represent approximately 25,000
00:17:10pieces that we will cut, that we will bend, that we will assemble by welding of course
00:17:13uh so 25,000 pieces is huge.
00:17:17The particularity of the Sargator 4, unlike previous
00:17:20versions, is that it packages the harvested algae in big
00:17:24bags that are placed in the sea and towed by
00:17:27boat to increase the harvest. Today we have
00:17:31found the solution to eject the big bags and now we
00:17:35fill 2 tons in one minute 30, one minute
00:17:3840 and have modified the size of the big bags since we have
00:17:42moved to 2 cubic meters per big bag whereas previously we were at 1
00:17:45cubic meter per in one minute 30 we load 10 cubic meters
00:17:49so 10 cubic meters we do the ratio it's 2 tons the
00:17:52Sargator 4 is to be deployed on the island of Désirade from
00:17:56February 2027 another good news for Guadeloupe Mexico
00:17:59and Antigua are also preparing to place
00:18:02orders. It has been flooding Polynesia
00:18:05for about ten years. and several seizures of
00:18:09methamphetamine this week at Taitifaa airport, 600
00:18:11g of ice discovered on a
00:18:15couple and in a baby's diapers, and an American
00:18:19national also received 7 years in prison, he
00:18:22was transporting more than 4 kg of
00:18:24drugs. Heading to Martinique, now
00:18:28Martinique is experiencing a new heatwave,
00:18:32record temperatures recorded in recent weeks, due
00:18:35in particular to the El Niño phenomenon, particularly intense this
00:18:39year, explanations signed by Aurélien Fevrier and
00:18:42Thierry.
00:18:45The heat, at the Dillon market, everyone has felt it
00:18:48since the beginning of the school
00:18:50holidays.
00:18:54It's hot, it's hot, I don't know. It was a bit hotter,
00:18:57the heat was more intense than in previous years.
00:19:01And what do you want, these are the vagaries of life. And it's nature
00:19:04that wants it. As the climate changes, so we must adapt,
00:19:08huh, so well but
00:19:11especially if it's hot in July
00:19:14August, Météo France recorded averages one degree higher than the seasonal
00:19:18norm, never seen before during this period in Martinique. up
00:19:22until now we've experienced quite significant heat periods, but
00:19:25the one we've just experienced puts us at the top compared to
00:19:30beginning of measurements in 1953, even though we had
00:19:33already experienced previous heat periods in previous years.
00:19:372022, 2023, so 1 degree is the highest we have
00:19:40ever seen in terms of deviation, mainly due to a
00:19:44much more severe El Niño phenomenon in the Pacific this
00:19:47year than in previous years.
00:19:50Today we are at + 2 degrees compared to the normal level
00:19:53of the Pacific Ocean and the models show
00:19:57almost certainly that it will rise to over 3
00:20:01or 3.5 degrees at the end of the
00:20:03year, that is, it's something that
00:20:07we haven't seen since the beginning of measurements since
00:20:101950, this situation should continue in the coming
00:20:13months with a rain deficit more marked than usual and a
00:20:17karma 2027 announced even drier.
00:20:19I will take you now to New
00:20:23Caledonia where the squash harvest is in full
00:20:26swing, a vegetable introduced in the 90s and
00:20:29today primarily intended for the Japanese market, this is the
00:20:33weekly feature, prepared by Matthieu and David Sigal.
00:20:41It grows peacefully along the waterways of the west coast, the
00:20:44Cucurbita Maxima, better known as
00:20:48Squash, a Japanese cousin of the pumpkin, introduced
00:20:51more than 30 years ago, nearly 25 farmers grow it, in
00:20:55Bourail notably, in Droubonne, we have been harvesting for more than 20 years,
00:20:59our climate is well adapted,
00:21:02despite the fact that it is a little variable at the moment,
00:21:06for the cultivation of squash, especially at this
00:21:09time of year. Squash grows well, it especially helps relieve pressure
00:21:13on local production with an export industry. Today,
00:21:16indeed, with the since the riots. these
00:21:20problems have been amplified, there are a lot of problems
00:21:23with sales on the local
00:21:26market at the moment, falling purchasing power,
00:21:29unemployment, etc., etc., departures and
00:21:32so how does that allow farmers
00:21:36to produce something, a
00:21:39speculation that goes to export and that is
00:21:42not that they have no problem selling
00:21:47journey continues with the company France. The Denis Tropic
00:21:50Export, the FCTE manages nearly 3000 tons of squash per
00:21:54year, almost all of which will end up in tempura in Japan,
00:21:58but a part remains here, we should be around
00:22:0210 or 15 tons for approximately 2000 or
00:22:052500 tons exported to Japan, Korea, New Zealand. The
00:22:09difference between a squash that we find on the local market and a squash that we find
00:22:12on the export market will only be
00:22:15some aesthetic defects that we can find on the Caledonian market while on
00:22:19the market. for export, there will be no such aesthetic defects, but it will have the same taste and quality.
00:22:23a sector closely controlled by the
00:22:26Japanese standards are high between traceability and
00:22:29quality.
00:22:33Well, often for the local one, there are fruits that are a little bit, he
00:22:37said a little bit of dry rot like during transport, but long
00:22:40enough to arrive in Japan, in fact, it's
00:22:43simply for finally
00:22:46how
00:22:48to say consumption is quite fast locally. Squash,
00:22:52a promising sector in New Caledonia but very dependent on climate
00:22:56hazards. In 2022, only about twenty tons could be
00:22:59harvested due to floods. It's
00:23:03a job specific to the whale season, cetaceans
00:23:06are reproducing and calving at the moment in the warm waters of
00:23:10Polynesia. So to protect them from
00:23:13potential collisions with boats. Observers monitor the
00:23:17crossing between Tahiti and Moorea. Embark with
00:23:20Caline Liennard and Mirco Vanfo,
00:23:24whale in sight near the reef at the entrance to the Pap Pass,
00:23:28Reytina spotted it more than 3 km away throughout the
00:23:32observation is at its maximum to identify the
00:23:36sign. The main sign to detect a
00:23:39whale is its blow because it can reach 2 m so it is clearly
00:23:43visible, or else we can have the
00:23:46jump, these are behaviors so that
00:23:49generates splashes. and we can see the different parts of the
00:23:52body, the caudal, the pectoral, assess
00:23:56the distance with the boat, this is the most important information
00:24:00that Reitina must transmit to the captain so that he can anticipate the avoidance
00:24:04maneuver, needs to know
00:24:07the distance between the whale and the
00:24:10boat, but especially to know its
00:24:13direction, where it is going, so as
00:24:16to be able to either change course or slow down.
00:24:20boat, 99% of maritime
00:24:23traffic is concentrated on the Tahiti-Moorea axis, collisions
00:24:27are the primary cause of non-natural mortality in whales, dolphins
00:24:31do not have this problem, among cetaceans we will have two main families,
00:24:35mysticetes, so all whales with baleen and odontocetes with
00:24:39teeth, so all those with teeth, they will
00:24:42echolocate so they can reposition an object in space,
00:24:45unlike whales who do not have this ability and therefore they
00:24:49will... be much more susceptible to collisions, during the whale
00:24:52season, there is an average of one anti-collision maneuver per
00:24:56day, so many dramatic situations avoided, near
00:25:00the passes and the reef, these are the resting
00:25:03sanctuaries of humpback
