00:00:00France to live on France
00:00:0224.
00:00:06Uh, you're watching the essential on France 24. Good evening everyone, the far
00:00:09right is once again leading a regional election in Germany, the FD is
00:00:13declared winner in Western Mecklenburg- Pomerania, German Chancellor
00:00:17Friedrich Schmerz acknowledges a disaster for his party the
00:00:20CDU which failed to enter parliament.
00:00:24Another election in Russia where Vladimir Putin's United Russia party
00:00:28wins the legislative elections without surprise. However, the election was disrupted by numerous
00:00:31drone attacks from Ukraine, Moscow promises in
00:00:34response to intensify its strikes against Kiev. Finally,
00:00:38how high will fuel prices go between the war in Iran and that in Yemen,
00:00:42supplies are severely disrupted, a new
00:00:45surge in prices is to be feared.
00:01:00We start therefore with the results of two regional elections in Germany,
00:01:04two weeks after the victory of the far right in
00:01:06program with the Caisse des Français de Saxony-Anhalt, the AFD is once again leading in Mecklenburg-
00:01:10Western Pomerania. It is also making strong progress in
00:01:13Berlin, a bitter defeat for Chancellor Fredric
00:01:17Schmerz's CDU, who speaks of a catastrophe for his party. Jule
00:01:20Boêteau.
00:01:24Surrounded by his supporters, Leif Holm, here in the center of
00:01:27the image in a blue suit. is finally
00:01:30exulting, the candidate of the far-right party
00:01:34AFD wins the regional elections in Mecklenburg, Western Pomerania.
00:01:38occidental.
00:01:41It's a great evening for the FD, we gained
00:01:4420 points compared to the last
00:01:47using only what the technology of elections. We have the mandate to govern
00:01:49here in Mecklenburg, Western
00:01:51Pomerania. To govern this region of northeastern
00:01:55Germany, if the AFD finds allies to reach
00:01:58a majority. Just behind are the Social
00:02:01Democrats of the SPD,
00:02:04far, very far from the CDU of Fredrit
00:02:07Schmerz. At the announcement of the first results this Sunday
00:02:10evening, all eyes turned to the chancellery, while a
00:02:13departure of the German leader in case of a debacle had been
00:02:16envisaged. But exceptionally for a regional election, the Chancellor
00:02:19preferred to cut short the rumors by speaking out.
00:02:22parole.
00:02:28We cannot gloss over it.
00:02:34really a reflection of the era of
00:02:39I personally take this responsibility because I want
00:02:42to move our country forward, a Chancellor
00:02:45more weakened than ever, but who remains in office, while in
00:02:49the other election of the day in Berlin, the CDU was also beaten by
00:02:53the radical left of Dilinker, who could take over the mayor's office in case
00:02:56of an alliance with other left-wing parties.
00:03:00also marked by the good score of the AFD, which marks a good
00:03:04step forward and its best historical result in the
00:03:07capital.
00:03:10And a sign that things are going badly for the CDU, Fredrik Schmerz's party
00:03:13failed tonight to enter the
00:03:16parliament of the state of Mecklenburg-Western
00:03:19Pomerania, it did not reach the elimination threshold of
00:03:235%. In Russia, Vladimir Putin's party,
00:03:26United Russia, is, without surprise, declared winner
00:03:30of the legislative elections held this weekend in the country, an election
00:03:34marked by numerous Ukrainian drone attacks and computer
00:03:37hacking. Jules Boîteau. According to
00:03:41the mayor of Moscow, it is an unprecedented Ukrainian
00:03:44offensive. The Russian capital and its region have been the target of
00:03:48several hundred Ukrainian drones, and if most of them
00:03:51were intercepted, several escaped Russian air
00:03:54defenses and notably struck several floors of a residential
00:03:57building in the capital where.
00:04:00this oil refinery, other devices fell in this residential
00:04:03area of Sofino in the Moscow region, causing
00:04:07casualties and significant
00:04:08damage,
00:04:11I was coming out of my building, I had taken about twenty steps from the entrance when
00:04:15the explosion sounded, the windows shattered, people started
00:04:19screaming, I turned around, the entrance doors had been
00:04:21blown off, there were injured, probably even
00:04:25dead, but we can't be sure, the rescue workers who arrived on
00:04:28the scene didn't...
00:04:32This massive Ukrainian drone attack comes in a context
00:04:35of intensifying fighting on both sides, a series of
00:04:39Russian strikes on more than 36 caused several deaths on Saturday and
00:04:42Sunday, including children.
00:04:46This offensive also comes on the
00:04:49exhibition project, the architecture of third and last day of voting in Russia and has been denounced by the
00:04:51authorities as aiming to disrupt the election.
00:04:55In the Kherson region in southern Ukraine, controlled by
00:04:59Russia. A drone notably killed several people, including an
00:05:03employee of the electoral commission. More
00:05:06than 4 and a half years after the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in
00:05:092022, in a context of repression of all
00:05:12forms of opposition, Vladimir Putin's party was,
00:05:16unsurprisingly, announced winner of the election on Sunday
00:05:18evening.
00:05:23The war in the Middle East now and the Houthis in Yemen report
00:05:2628 Saudi strikes carried out against areas they control, these strikes
00:05:30come the day after the attack they themselves carried out against
00:05:33Riyadh, fighting that is weighing on the global economy, the
00:05:37price of a barrel of oil at the opening will once again be closely watched next
00:05:41night, its... an impact on fuel prices could very
00:05:45quickly be felt. Julien
00:05:46Cholin.
00:05:49Will we pay on average a little more than 2.60 €
00:05:53per liter of diesel in a month? The hypothesis is
00:05:57not far-fetched and doesn't even surprise these
00:06:00motorists.
00:06:03I take it as a fatality, I am forced to drive
00:06:06so there will have to be aid from both sides, I don't know,
00:06:10but it won't continue like that. In any case, the
00:06:13tensions on the oil market are not about to
00:06:16stop. As evidenced by this plume of smoke that rose yesterday
00:06:20above the city of Riyadh in Saudi
00:06:23Arabia. The oil facilities of the Saudi
00:06:26capital were targeted, an attack
00:06:29signed by the Houthi rebels, supported by
00:06:32Iran, which is gaining ground. As a result,
00:06:36after the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, it is now another
00:06:39strategic passage that is threatened. The Strait of Babel
00:06:43Mandep. Enough to push up oil prices even
00:06:47further. Consequently, at the pump, prices
00:06:50should continue to rise in the coming days. Experts have
00:06:53worked on it, they predict €2.60 on average per
00:06:57liter of diesel in a month, and around €2.30 for
00:07:01unleaded ethanol 10. These
00:07:03forecasts are based on several parameters. Obviously
00:07:07the evolution of oil prices, but also the euro-dollar exchange rate, or
00:07:11even seasonality. and on the other hand, obviously there can be at any time
00:07:15geopolitical events, statements from politicians from certain
00:07:18countries that can have a fairly rapid impact and thus
00:07:22change our forecasts. Tomorrow, the government meets in
00:07:25Matignon to extend aid measures for
00:07:29professionals and individuals, according to our information, it could expand
00:07:33the number of French people concerned.
00:07:36Still in France, more than 10,000 people marched this Sunday in several cities across the country
00:07:40against the proposed law on the presumption of legitimate use of
00:07:43weapons by law enforcement, it was voted in July by deputies and must
00:07:47now be examined by the Senate, no to the permit to
00:07:50kill, could be read on some banners, protesters fear that police
00:07:54violence will increase with this law, those who are
00:07:58in favor believe that this law will allow law enforcement not
00:08:01to be systematically suspected or placed in custody after a
00:08:05shot.
00:08:08The European Heritage Days are coming to an end this
00:08:11evening. For two days you have been able to open the doors of museums, monuments, but also
00:08:15places usually closed to the public? it's the secret or
00:08:19forbidden that our colleagues from France 2 invite you to discover, it's a
00:08:22report by Julie Poirier, Antoine Calvès and Lola Bodin
00:08:25Adriaco. It's a fortress that you almost never
00:08:29enter. Fort Boyard, these lucky ones
00:08:33discover it for the first time with a sporty arrival, clip
00:08:37on the carabiners.
00:08:39Fifty of them were drawn by lot to live this unique
00:08:42adventure, a total immersion behind the scenes of
00:08:46the TV game, with the discovery of the treasure
00:08:49room, a few years ago there were tigers, real tigers that
00:08:52came to the fort and the famous return
00:08:56of Père Fouras, we recognize all the places we see on
00:08:59TV, but we see that it's still different, there are things that
00:09:03seem smaller, others larger, we see a little behind the scenes, I remember
00:09:06very, very small, watching the shows at Grandma's, I
00:09:10touch the bricks, I see if everything is...
00:09:13if it's really life, if it's not, if it's not a dream, always further,
00:09:16always higher, always higher,
00:09:19far from Fort Boyard, 700
00:09:22km away, another forbidden place opens to the public, the largest
00:09:26train maintenance workshop of the SNCF near Lille,
00:09:30a hundred trains are renovated each year, here everything
00:09:34seems oversized, what impresses
00:09:36me is the effect of size, of grandeur, because here we
00:09:40are below the trains, we also have the chance sometimes to pass
00:09:43over them and in fact it doesn't give the same impression at all as when we take the train every
00:09:46day, play with model trains or put yourself in the shoes
00:09:50of an airplane pilot, in Orléans, this air base also
00:09:54exceptionally opens its doors, a unique
00:09:57visit even into the cockpit of military planes, children, well,
00:10:01inevitably a little amazed sitting in front of it, it's always a pleasure to see that because
00:10:04I was in their place 20 years ago, so it's really a
00:10:08pleasure to see that we can transmit that, it feels strange.
00:10:13because I often fly, but a plane like that,
00:10:16it's impressive, thousands of sites are still open
00:10:20all over France until tonight for these Heritage
00:10:23Days.
00:10:43and immediately it's time for Valerie Fayol's Paris of Arts, an appointment
00:10:47with Pascal Obispo and Julie Depardieu.
00:10:49Dieu.
00:11:01Your program with Abris Sud, French manufacturer of swimming
00:11:04pool covers, pergolas and
00:11:06carports, watch your program with
00:11:10Meo, the delicious coffee, committed and accessible,
00:11:14Meo, the coffee I need, your program
00:11:17with the Caisse des Français de l'Étranger, health and retirement insurance, the
00:11:21CFE, social security for expatriates.
00:11:39I am the grandson of a Basque
00:11:42Spanish immigrant who was chased away by
00:11:45Franco and I am originally from
00:11:49Bordeaux.
00:11:51I am a lover of music, I am a lover of art. "I
00:11:55am a lover of people who seek, who experiment,
00:11:58expériences,
00:12:06I am a girl who is in a very good mood and
00:12:09very depressed, it depends, who changes her mind, but then
00:12:12like changing clothes, I don't have
00:12:16many convictions, the only one I have is that if
00:12:20music didn't exist, I don't think I would have invented it, but I would be much more
00:12:23unhappy."
00:12:25"I don't know if I'm really an actress, I take the position that precisely because
00:12:29I haven't had any training, that I would be quite unable to give advice to
00:12:33anyone, I act as if it were
00:12:34me.
00:12:38This week, a crazy love against a backdrop of manipulation, this takes place at
00:12:41the Marigny studio with Julie de Pardieu who plays Juliette
00:12:44Drouet, the mistress for more than 50 years of Victor Hugo, a favorite
00:12:48for the Fondation Cartier which has just moved to Place du Palais Royal
00:12:52just in front of the Louvre, but immediately we will find..." Pascal
00:12:55Obispo, not the singer, the painter,
00:13:09hello Pascal, hello, I'm delighted to
00:13:12meet you, what are we doing here? Well, we're at the
00:13:15Angebasseau gallery on a street, one of the most
00:13:19popular streets for art, so
00:13:22welcome to Angebasseau.
00:13:25Cardo, please, thank
00:13:26you very much,
00:13:33so it is here Pascal that you are exhibiting that we will be able to discover
00:13:36this other facet of Pascal
00:13:39Obispo, painting, so I had the chance
00:13:42to exhibit here, but there are already quite a few collectors who
00:13:46wanted to acquire
00:13:49some works, so that pushes me to continue to try
00:13:53to do perhaps. too many things, but it's true that these faces
00:13:57haunt me so I won't have to let them go right
00:14:00away.
00:14:05This exhibition is called reversibility, so
00:14:08reversibility because in fact all the canvases can be
00:14:11uh felt upside down
00:14:15and right side up
00:14:16quite simply.
00:14:22So upside down, you choose upside down, you choose... it's your place
00:14:26no matter what, but on one side you have the faces in profile and on the other side the
00:14:29faces from the front and then you prefer to have your head right side up or your head upside
00:14:33down Pascal in life it depends on the days, it depends on
00:14:37the days in fact it's the one who confronts the one who says the one
00:14:40who looks at you too the other it's rather the one
00:14:44who thinks the one who keeps
00:14:47the one who is more introverted so it has the
00:14:51two facets of my personality of us too of what we are.
00:15:00I finally left Notre Dame and
00:15:04France the tears of
00:15:07Verlaine Pascal Obispo, when we think of you,
00:15:11we first think of melodies that marked French song, of
00:15:14unforgettable tours, of
00:15:17duets too, we know less about this
00:15:21slightly secret artist's work, painting.
00:15:25At what point did you decide to paint, to
00:15:28pick up brushes and discover that it was
00:15:31therapy? In fact, I used to take a lot of photos at
00:15:34the beginning and uh and I...
00:15:37was uh forced
00:15:41at some point in my life to be anchored somewhere,
00:15:45so I used these photos to make collages, at the time I met a
00:15:49painter artist named Dane Ou who suggested
00:15:53to me by sending his collages to
00:15:56start painting, so despite the fact that I told him
00:15:59uh
00:16:01no, I can't draw, I can't paint, he still sent me a box of six
00:16:05pots of paint and during the whole weekend I drew
00:16:0812 12 12 12 works we could
00:16:12say on A4 paper where I had printed
00:16:15on a photocopier a face uh so there
00:16:19was David Bowie, there was Prince, there was Gainsbourg, there was Vanessa
00:16:22Paradis, there were lots of artists like that who I liked and then I
00:16:25drew around and then I wanted to show the the the result
00:16:29of my work in a weekend and I said, you see
00:16:32look, there's no point in asking me to paint, he
00:16:36said, no, it's great, you're very strong and at the end of a
00:16:39uh where he watched where he controlled a little where I exchanged with
00:16:43him, he said, now you have to
00:16:46remove uh the face and I said, but what do you want
00:16:50me to do? I can't draw anything, he
00:16:53said, you have to uh keep
00:16:56your childlike soul, we don't need technique to paint,
00:17:00in all your canvases there are recurring motifs, what do they
00:17:04say about these fragments of yours?
00:17:07I think I've always been obsessed when I was little
00:17:10by uh by the
00:17:13crowd uh by the world, that is to say that when you
00:17:17are a divorced child uh you are in
00:17:21search of paternity so that means that there is
00:17:25a being missing from you so you try to find a
00:17:28substitute and I have always been very, very fond of it and in my
00:17:32room in fact there was almost like this canvas but it was faces
00:17:35of lots of artists. lots of different artists, my room was really
00:17:39covered with photos, so I have the impression that I
00:17:43that I reproduce,
00:17:45I reproduce this lack, so it comes first from
00:17:49solitude obviously, today it would also be the
00:17:52opposite, that is to say that I I would suffer
00:17:55almost uh how
00:17:58to say agoraphobia and that is to say that by being very, very
00:18:02famous I also have a whole kind of crowd like
00:18:05that which remains. uh so I
00:18:08went from lack to the curious,
00:18:12voyeuristic crowd, so faces are omnipresent,
00:18:16but I translate in my paintings
00:18:19uh this, how to say, we could say this
00:18:22trauma,
00:18:27we lose our shoes, our hair, our
00:18:29teeth,
00:18:33but we never lose our childlike soul.
00:18:37Let's talk a little bit about music, your latest album
00:18:41has a very nice title, The Archipelago of Scars,
00:18:45essentially female duets, what are
00:18:48these scars that you wanted to explore? You've seen
00:18:51it's a Klimt painting, my Archipelago of Scars album
00:18:54cover obviously it's all the suffering
00:18:58that we keep and that we draw on from time to time to make songs, after
00:19:02these are personal things, I translate I
00:19:05translate things into music and... into songs often but
00:19:09uh and into painting now, but it's true that there
00:19:12are a lot of things since early childhood,
00:19:16huh, but don't expect me to tell you, so that's an album
00:19:19that's old because I'm currently preparing the next one, Heritage,
00:19:23that's right, so that's it, but it wasn't expected for this autumn
00:19:27so yes but uh how
00:19:30would you say, no, but it's like a painting that just can't be
00:19:33finished, Heritage is... it's
00:19:37the tribute I pay to all the great artists, songwriters
00:19:41and composers who inspire me or who have inspired me,
00:19:44there are many songs, there are 34 34 and there is a double album that
00:19:48will be released before summer and another after
00:19:51summer
00:19:53always
00:19:57while I was waiting for that
00:19:59voice.
00:20:12We are now going to meet Julie de Pardieu at the Studio Marigny, a familiar
00:20:15face of cinema, theatre, television, an instinctive
00:20:19and magnetic actress, she takes on a challenge
00:20:22for the first time, to be alone on stage, in
00:20:26"La Misérable", she plays Juliette Drouet, an
00:20:29intense monologue that gives voice to Victor Hugo's forgotten
00:20:32mistress and reveals 50 years of crazy love and
00:20:36manipulation. "Am I therefore only made to
00:20:40be locked up,
00:20:4412 years, 12 years locked up with a double
00:20:47key, 12."
00:20:52from 31 to 43 years old.
00:20:55Julie, what made you want to play Juliette Drouet?
00:20:59Well, when I read the play, what made
00:21:03me want to play her is that first of all, I think, I thought she was just one mistress among
00:21:06others, it's true that I knew her name but I didn't know what this poor
00:21:10Juliette had done. What really made me want to, is love
00:21:14above all, she adores him as she would perhaps
00:21:17adore her child except that it's her... boyfriend who doesn't behave very
00:21:21well with her and so she feels like he's her god, it's
00:21:25like he's someone who redeems her and given the era in
00:21:28which she lives, it's incredibly hard to be a woman in
00:21:321830 in Paris, a beautiful woman
00:21:35no matter what, you have no birth, you are nothing
00:21:38and she falls in love with Victor Hugo, he
00:21:42falls in love with her, I think it's love at first sight,
00:21:44reciprocal, but then the era makes him
00:21:48abuse her a little
00:21:50by making her copy his texts and it's like
00:21:54an hold, yeah and then she's at his service but you have to
00:21:58know what she's giving up in fact she's giving
00:22:02up a very, very fragile financial situation she also
00:22:06has delusions of grandeur she's a bit of a courtesan but she doesn't have the means she
00:22:09has no job security her child she doesn't even
00:22:12raise and she wants to dream quoi she wants to be
00:22:15in love and she says I'd rather still be with
00:22:19Victor even though it's true that he locks
00:22:23her up for a dozen years because since she was a bit of a
00:22:26prostitute he was very jealous he tells her my dear
00:22:29no either you don't go out
00:22:32alone or well we're not together anymore in fact and yes
00:22:36it's a hold even if this word didn't exist at the time but it's
00:22:40a completely uh completely exclusive and
00:22:43crazy relationship if he locks me up
00:22:47it's because he loves me it's because he wants to
00:22:50protect me, he wants to keep me all to
00:22:53himself, and I,
00:22:57I love the idea of belonging
00:22:59to him. Watching the show, I wondered how you managed
00:23:03to access these intimate thoughts, as well as everything she had
00:23:07experienced, how could the text have been so precisely
00:23:10documented? Well, first of all, I really made
00:23:13sure that everything I said was true, and I read the
00:23:17very interesting book by Florence Nogrette
00:23:20on Juliette Drouet and it's
00:23:24women's condition at that time it's incredibly hard and it's
00:23:28very well documented we know everything about Juliette when I started the
00:23:31rehearsals I thought oh no but I'm not her then I did
00:23:35it somehow as if it were me because it's very difficult
00:23:38to interpret someone else from another era I really identified
00:23:42with this absolute love she has for him no matter what Victor
00:23:46does we also discover a Victor Hugo who is very far from the literary monument
00:23:50we all know, it's important also to show this hidden side, well I think
00:23:53yes, at the same time, I think that really nothing is invented, rather cut
00:23:57than anything else, but it's not to desacralize him, it's just to say
00:24:00that with his genius, he's also a
00:24:03man, and a man at that time, well, he has needs,
00:24:07he lost his daughter so he becomes very anxious, he needs to be
00:24:10reassured, he's a human, I think
00:24:13that what I liked in the text is that she never speaks badly of him, she just
00:24:17loves him.
00:24:20It's incredible, Victor Hugo offers me
00:24:23to work with him, I
00:24:26am henceforth the collaborator of the greatest
00:24:30poet in
00:24:31heaven.
00:24:39I'm now taking you to discover the brand new face of the Fondation
00:24:42Cartier. After more than 30 years spent on Boulevard
00:24:45Raspaille, it has just moved to Place du Palais Royal in
00:24:49the former great. Louvre department store completely redesigned
00:24:52by Jean Nouvel, the place is unique, open to the
00:24:55city, with mobile platforms that redesign
00:24:58the space at each exhibition, it's our favorite from
00:25:01heart,
00:25:04hello, hello, but thank you for welcoming us to this
00:25:08incredible place, this move, it's a revolution,
00:25:12have you rethought the
00:25:14way of exhibiting and welcoming the public? Yes, absolutely, that's exactly the proposal.
00:25:18of new people is to
00:25:21introduce a device to create the exhibition that will really
00:25:25transform all these codes, these preconceptions, these practices, in fact
00:25:29there are five platforms that can be adjusted to different
00:25:32levels over a height of 10 meters, so that means
00:25:36for each major
00:25:39the Cartier Foundation will be new,
00:25:41different and the visitor will discover a new
00:25:44exhibition route, and so the Cartier Foundation, it has
00:25:48often highlighted... certain artistic scenes sometimes
00:25:51forgotten, I'm thinking of Africa, I'm thinking of South America, I'm thinking of indigenous peoples, will
00:25:55that remain a tradition, in any case a guiding principle for your future
00:25:58hangings? Yes, absolutely, and especially since today we are... are
00:26:02now facing the Louvre, we have a responsibility to make
00:26:06visible or to add to the encyclopedic
00:26:10historical symbols of the Louvre and one of the most important in
00:26:13Europe, to bring into the city of
00:26:16Paris precisely artistic scenes, traditions,
00:26:20currents, individuals who are not necessarily even
00:26:23recognized as artists, I'm thinking of everything the foundation also does
00:26:27in the sciences, architecture and
00:26:30to inscribe at the heart of of... museum
00:26:33culture, a true transdisciplinary discourse, thank you, we're going to
00:26:37leave you with images and I'll see you very soon for new adventures,
00:26:51your program with abri sud, French manufacturer of
00:26:55pool shelters, pergolas and
00:26:57carports, this was your program with
00:27:00Meo, the Savour coffee. committed and accessible,
00:27:20Shining, in a cult phrase, drawings made with a few characters
00:27:23or even text, you're not in the matrix but in front of digital
00:27:27art, ASCII art, it's the art of creating images from the
00:27:3195 printable symbols of the ASCII code, a standardized computer
00:27:35character format that appeared in the 1960s. It's a bit the heir
00:27:38of calligrams and typewriter art, drawings made with a typewriter in the digital age. At a time when
00:27:42computers still couldn't display images, it
00:27:46allowed to create visual elements by
00:27:49the time could offer. Studies in Perception One is considered one of
00:27:53the first works of its kind, even if it doesn't precisely use the ASCII
00:27:56code. Thanks to the bulletin board system, the ancestors of forums, this
00:28:00form of digital drawing became really popular reproduction of famous works
00:28:04or original creations, it is discovered by visitors on the homepage and
00:28:07users sign their messages with. One of the pioneers of this art
00:28:11is Joan Stark, known by the pseudonyms Spunk or JGS,
00:28:14but particularities of the style, if the creators sign their works,
00:28:18these do not really belong to them, accessible to all, they can be
00:28:21reused and shared without limits or rights. The style gradually diversifies,
00:28:25outlines only or filling, then appearance of colors and new characters,
00:28:29we then speak of ANSI art, drawings also emerge that can.
00:28:32retrospectively be considered problematic, naked female bodies,
00:28:35sexual organs, etc., today it is an outdated genre and not very adapted to
00:28:39new technology, due to its form, ASCII art is generally viewed on a computer
00:28:43screen, on a phone, you don't see much, moreover, software now allows
00:28:47to convert an image directly to ASCII, so we are far from the original
00:28:51handmade, but its heritage is perhaps still visible in our messages, these
00:28:54are emoticons, the smallest possible form of ASCII art.
00:28:57possible.
