00:00:07Good evening everyone, you are watching the main news on France 24. The far-right is
00:00:11once again leading a regional election in Germany. The AfD is projected to win in
00:00:15Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. German Chancellor
00:00:18Friedrich Schmerz, for his part, acknowledges a disaster for his party, the
00:00:21CDU, which failed to enter the regional parliament.
00:00:25Another election in Russia, where Vladimir Putin's United Russia party wins
00:00:28the legislative elections without surprise. A vote, however, disrupted by numerous
00:00:32drone attacks from Ukraine. Moscow promises
00:00:35to intensify its strikes against Kyiv in
00:00:38response. Finally, Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister
00:00:41Marc Carney in a tête-à-tête in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. The two leaders say
00:00:45they want to strengthen ties between their two countries, two
00:00:48independent nations that wish to remain so, they specified, a clear message
00:00:52addressed to Donald
00:00:53Trump.
00:01:08Two weeks after the far-right's victory in Sax Hanhalt, the AfD is once again
00:01:11projected to lead in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
00:01:14It is also making strong progress in Berlin, a
00:01:18crushing defeat for the CDU of Chancellor Friedrich Schmerz, who
00:01:22calls it a catastrophe for his party. Jule
00:01:25Boêteau surrounded by...
00:01:29We gained 20 points compared to the
00:01:49last elections,
00:01:52than 4 and a half years after the start of we have the mandate to govern here in Mecklenburg-Western
00:01:55Pomerania.
00:01:57This region in northeastern Germany,
00:02:00if the AfD finds allies to reach a majority,
00:02:03because just behind them are the Social Democrats of the
00:02:07SPD, far, very far from the
00:02:09CDU of Fredric Schmerz. Upon the announcement of the
00:02:12first results this Sunday evening, all eyes turned
00:02:15to the Chancellery, as a departure of the German leader in case of a debacle
00:02:19had been considered. But, exceptionally for a regional
00:02:23election, the Chancellor preferred to cut short the rumors by
00:02:26speaking. We cannot sugarcoat the result
00:02:33obtained in Mecklenburg, it is a disaster, but
00:02:37reforms must go forward, we take responsibility for these
00:02:41reforms, I personally take this
00:02:44responsibility, because I want to move our
00:02:48country forward, a Chancellor more fragile than ever, but
00:02:51who remains in power, while in the other election of the day in Berlin,
00:02:54the CDU was also beaten by the radical left-wing Die Linke,
00:02:58who could take the mayoralty from him in case of an alliance with other left-wing
00:03:02parties, an election also marked by
00:03:05the good score of the AfD, which marks a good step forward and
00:03:09its best historical result in the capital.
00:03:12And a sign of the CDU's
00:03:15debacle, Friedrich Schmerz's party failed to enter the
00:03:19Mecklenburg parliament. It did not manage
00:03:23to reach the elimination threshold of 5%.
00:03:25Emmanuel Macron received the Canadian
00:03:29Prime Minister Mark Carney this Sunday. The meeting took place on the French archipelago of
00:03:33Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, located off the coast of Canada, and the two men say
00:03:38situations, indeed, when reading they want to strengthen ties between their two countries, particularly on issues of security and energy. Jules
00:03:42Boateau:
00:03:45This is an embrace that is highly
00:03:48symbolic. Emmanuel Macron welcomes Marc Carney to Saint-Pierre and Miquelon,
00:03:51a first for a Canadian
00:03:55Prime Minister. The French archipelago in the North
00:03:58Atlantic, a place in the new cooperation that the two
00:04:02countries want to seal, in a context of tension with
00:04:05Washington. This meeting comes a few weeks after
00:04:08seven publications by Donald Trump, where Canada,
00:04:12Greenland and
00:04:14D's brother. Two Saint-Pierre and Miquelon were passed under American flag. Yes, we believe
00:04:17together that our countries are two great
00:04:20independent nations that wish to
00:04:23remain so. We believe in democracy,
00:04:27the rule of law, respect for international law,
00:04:31respect for free and fair trade,
00:04:34science on which our decisions
00:04:38are based, and the strategic autonomy that we defend. In addition to its
00:04:42symbolic scope, new partnerships have also been announced
00:04:47postpartum between France and Canada in the fields of climate,
00:04:49energy, and space.
00:04:53We have tasked our defense agents with developing and sharing
00:04:57common infrastructures, including systems of the
00:05:01The two leaders also discussed relations between Canada and the European Union
00:05:05as Brussels opened the way for Ottawa to become the
00:05:09first associate member of the EU. This report.
00:05:12Europe, moving away from Donald Trump's United States,
00:05:16such is the message sent before the United Nations General
00:05:19Assembly this week in New
00:05:20York.
00:05:23In Russia, Vladimir Putin's party, United Russia, is, without surprise, announced
00:05:27winner of the legislative elections that took place this weekend, a vote marked
00:05:31by numerous Ukrainian drone attacks and cyberattacks.
00:05:35Jules Boateau. According to
00:05:38the mayor of Moscow, this is an unprecedented Ukrainian
00:05:41offensive. The Russian capital and its region were targeted by
00:05:44several hundred Ukrainian drones. And if most were
00:05:47intercepted, several escaped Russian air
00:05:51defenses and notably struck several floors of a residential
00:05:54building in the capital or this
00:05:57oil refinery. Other devices fell in this residential
00:06:01area of Sofino in the Moscow region, causing casualties and significant
00:06:05damage.
00:06:08I was coming out of my building, I had walked about twenty steps from the entrance when the...
00:06:43This offensive also comes on the third and final day of voting in Russia
00:06:46and has been denounced by the authorities as aiming to disrupt the
00:06:50conduct of the election. In the Kherson region, in
00:06:54southern Ukraine, controlled by Russia, a drone notably
00:06:57killed several people, including an employee of the electoral
00:07:00commission. More
00:07:04the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, in a context
00:07:07of repression of all forms of opposition, Vladimir Putin's
00:07:11party was, without surprise, announced the winner
00:07:14of the election on Sunday
00:07:15evening.
00:07:19This Sunday, September 20th, was World Cleanup Day. For several
00:07:23years now in France, hundreds of thousands of people have participated, resulting in
00:07:26hundreds of tons of waste collected.
00:07:30A report from Marseille, Toulouse, and Valenciennes with Noémie
00:07:33Dahon. Perfect! At the end of
00:07:36this gripper, a first cigarette butt. To track down abandoned
00:07:40waste in Valenciennes, the
00:07:42collection is done with family. Oh dear, there's a lot to
00:07:46do. You see, you understand now why you shouldn't litter. It's sad because
00:07:50it pollutes the planet a lot. 2,400, a
00:07:53start, because by the end of the day these volunteers will have collected
00:07:57400 kg.
00:08:00Ah, I have one. Yes, I have another one further south in
00:08:03Toulouse. There, too, we're active. 50
00:08:06volunteers, well-equipped, survey the banks of the Garonne.
00:08:10To spot litter and fight
00:08:13against river pollution.
00:08:16Very quickly, a piece of waste will
00:08:19release its chemical molecules and degrade in
00:08:22the water, like this tire
00:08:26fished out. Car parts are also found
00:08:30near Marseille on this commercial area. I even found a magnificent
00:08:33olive tree, the perfusion. There's really everything
00:08:36you wouldn't necessarily expect. These young girls got
00:08:40up early to participate in this great
00:08:42cleanup. Maybe it will make people realize that cigarette butts shouldn't be thrown
00:08:46on the ground, that there are bins for cardboard, metal, and
00:08:48plastic. We're going to separate everything, because
00:08:52among the waste found, some can be
00:08:56recycled. Last year, 434 tons of
00:09:00litter were collected throughout
00:09:03France.
00:09:04This is a book that has not yet been released, and yet
00:09:07it is already making a lot of noise in the United Kingdom. Charles,
00:09:10Diana's brother, is publishing his memoirs. Some excerpts
00:09:14have already appeared in the press. Ody Longuevalle and Benjamin De Lombre
00:09:18tell us more.
00:09:21There's Charles, the ex-husband, and
00:09:24Charles, Lady
00:09:27men, one woman, and one sentence that, 30
00:09:30years later, shakes the United Kingdom. It was
00:09:34reportedly uttered by the King, then Prince, to his
00:09:38brother-in-law during an argument just after the... He said, "We'll forget her soon
00:09:45enough," and after a stunned silence, I replied, "I
00:09:48can't believe you just said that." A
00:09:52conversation revealed in the memoirs of Diana's brother, a 400-page
00:09:55book intended, according to him, to restore the
00:09:59truth about his sister. It provoked
00:10:01a denial as rapid as it was unusual from Buckingham
00:10:05Palace. "His Majesty is aware that the pain
00:10:08of fraternal grief can obscure reason, alter judgment,
00:10:12and distort memories." And the brother scoffed, "It's not
00:10:16every day you wake up to find that the King has tried to make you out to be someone
00:10:20whose memories are not reliable." Exchanges
00:10:23reported by the divided newspapers.
00:10:27"Monstrous," titles this tabloid. "Why
00:10:30is he doing this to the King now?" wonders another. Among the British
00:10:33people, everyone has their side. "I
00:10:37think he's just doing it to sell his book. I don't believe what he
00:10:40says." "King Charles treated
00:10:44Diana so badly. I think he could say that. I believe his
00:10:47brother." Nearly 30 years after her death, Lady D continues to
00:10:51stir up passions. Even before the release of her brother's
00:10:55book, four copies were stolen from a truck in
00:10:58the Netherlands for reasons still unknown.
00:11:01And that's the end of this news. Thank you for your
00:11:04attention. The information continues on France 24. I wish you all
00:11:08a great week. Hello everyone and welcome to
00:11:27Actuel. Today we're looking at postpartum psychosis, or
00:11:30puerperal psychosis, a serious psychiatric illness that occurs
00:11:33in rare cases after the birth of a child. Puerperal psychosis
00:11:37was recently brought to public attention with the
00:11:40highly publicized trial in the United States of Lince
00:11:43Clancy, a mother accused of killing her three
00:11:47children and then attempting to commit suicide. We'll talk about this in a
00:11:50moment with my guest, Dr. Cécile Corfdir. But
00:11:53first, let's look at the details of this story with
00:11:57Nicolas Chamantin.
00:12:00After 6 weeks of deliberation, the judge's sentence
00:12:04falls. Members of the jury, at this stage, I will
00:12:06declare that the jury is deadlocked and I
00:12:09will declare a mistrial. A woman listens impassively
00:12:13to the magistrate. This is Lince Clancy, 36,
00:12:17the accused in this trial that inflames
00:12:21the United States. This nurse faced life in
00:12:24prison for the strangulation murder of her three
00:12:28children, aged 5, 3, and 8 months, facts
00:12:30she does not deny, but for which she pleads not guilty, citing postpartum
00:12:34psychosis. Of the 12 jury members, 11 were in
00:12:38favor of her acquittal on the grounds of her criminal
00:12:42irresponsibility, but unanimity is
00:12:44necessary. I want to thank these
00:12:47jurors, all but one.
00:12:50There were 11 to one in favor of an
00:12:54acquittal, and only one individual decided that there was reasonable
00:12:57doubt and refused to apply the law.
00:13:01Lince Clancy has been in a
00:13:04wheelchair since she attempted suicide shortly after the triple
00:13:07infanticide. Outside the courthouse, women offer their
00:13:10support to the accused.
00:13:13We wanted Linze, her legal team, and the public to know that
00:13:17regardless of what happened in that house in January 2023, we support her.
00:13:21She asked for help and didn't get it. I truly hope that the judicial system
00:13:26will acknowledge the difficulties that women face during their pregnancy
00:13:29and after childbirth. January 2023 and the
00:13:49cruel and premeditated murder of three
00:13:52innocents. A new trial could be organized
00:13:55later with a new jury. For now, the
00:13:58prosecutor has not announced her decision.
00:14:01And we go further on this issue with
00:14:03you, Dr. Cécile Corfdir. Hello, you are a
00:14:07psychiatrist in perinatality, head of the parent-baby hospitalization
00:14:11unit at the GHU Paris Psychiatry and Neuroscience. Thank
00:14:14you very much for being with us for this question. I would first like
00:14:17us to clarify postpartum psychosis, does it have a link
00:14:21with postpartum depression? Uh,
00:14:25that's a very good question. No, these are two
00:14:28distinct clinical
00:14:31entities. Uh, postpartum
00:14:34depression is much more frequent than postpartum
00:14:37psychosis and occurs much more
00:14:40insidiously uh, often in the first
00:14:43three months after childbirth. Uh, whereas
00:14:46postpartum psychosis, which is much rarer, affects one to two women
00:14:50per thousand births.
00:14:52Uh, it will arrive much earlier, often within
00:14:55the first two weeks after the birth of their child, and in a
00:14:58much more noisy way, often with an
00:15:01inaugural insomnia, uh, then confusion,
00:15:05disorientation, agitation, really a break with
00:15:08the previous state, which is really very different from
00:15:12depression, uh,
00:15:14and sometimes the occurrence of psychotic symptoms. And yet we
00:15:18never hear about it, or at least I never heard about this
00:15:21postpartum psychosis before the Lince Clancy case. How is that? I think
00:15:25there are still very taboo subjects concerning
00:15:28perinatality, especially those that are also linked
00:15:32to the image we have of women and even
00:15:35more of mothers. I think it's already
00:15:38very important that postpartum depression is talked about much more than before, but indeed
00:15:42puerperal psychosis is much rarer too, because one case out of 100
00:15:46is not the same thing as 15 to 20%. So,
00:15:48yes, however, the consequences can also be
00:15:52very serious, with indeed suicides or
00:15:55infanticides, even if these are still rare cases. Fortunately,
00:15:58these are very rare cases. In any case, we hear about it
00:16:02today with this extremely media-covered trial in the United States, but it happens
00:16:05indeed more often than in this extreme case. I
00:16:09propose that we listen to the story of Meganne Cliffel. She also suffered
00:16:12from puerperal psychosis or postpartum psychosis. A few months
00:16:16after the birth of her second child, she began to have
00:16:20delusional episodes. She is now recovered, but she
00:16:24lived through very difficult times, which she recounted to Annette Jong.
00:16:28I suggest we listen to
00:16:30her.
00:16:34I got on the subway and suddenly I saw everyone looking at
00:16:38me, my brain raced and I thought: they're
00:16:41watching you. And then the next second, when they looked
00:16:45at their phones and I saw them with their headphones, I thought:
00:16:48my god, they're not just watching you, they're
00:16:51spying on you. From that moment on, around
00:16:545:30 p.m. on a Friday evening, and until Saturday morning around
00:16:5710 a.m., I found myself plunged into a completely
00:17:00delusional scenario where the whole city was trying to attack me and
00:17:04my babies, and I was convinced that my husband
00:17:08was in on it. During all that time, I kept everything
00:17:11I thought I knew to myself, trying to find a way to get us out
00:17:14alive, and for most of that time, my husband
00:17:18had no idea what was happening, that I was lost in this delusional
00:17:21scenario. It wasn't until the next morning, when I got into a fight, when I
00:17:25started hitting him and trying to grab our children to save them, and
00:17:28then, conversely, I tried to get on the roof of the building to
00:17:32jump, that he understood that I was sick. He called
00:17:35911, and the police took me away.
00:17:42What Meganne Cliffel describes there, these characteristics with her paranoid
00:17:45delusions, this
00:17:46violence,
00:17:49uh, not necessarily, in the majority of puerperal
00:17:53psychoses, there are not necessarily
00:17:55delusional elements.
00:17:58Uh, but it can happen, and often when it happens, it
00:18:01uh, it often concerns the baby, and that's what can be
00:18:05also, uh, dangerous. That is to say, it can be a questioning
00:18:09of whether it is her own baby or thinking that people want to kidnap her
00:18:13baby, etc. Uh, but there are
00:18:16not necessarily any violent acts in postpartum psychosis. I think we need to
00:18:20be very careful about what we say on this subject.
00:18:24Uh, postpartum psychosis does not equal
00:18:27violence or infanticide, far from
00:18:30it, and fortunately. But it can indeed happen that there are
00:18:34psychotic symptoms, so delusional ideas, often
00:18:37indeed uh,
00:18:40paranoid, and sometimes hallucinations, and
00:18:43in this case, indeed, there is
00:18:46a, well, in puerperal psychosis, it's true that there is often a break
00:18:50with, uh, with reality, an
00:18:53absence of awareness of these disorders. That's also how it differs a lot from
00:18:57postpartum depression, which does not have these same characteristics. Do
00:19:01we know today what triggers uh, the onset of postpartum
00:19:03psychosis? Are there any antecedents, warning
00:19:07signs during pregnancy, before pregnancy, anything that should
00:19:10raise an alarm? Well, in certain
00:19:16the patient's psychiatric history, personal and family,
00:19:19indeed, we can say that there were evocative elements,
00:19:22but in the majority of cases, it is an event that occurs
00:19:26suddenly without being able to really anticipate it. Indeed, the risk
00:19:30factors are still having uh,
00:19:33personally or at the family level,
00:19:36a history of bipolar disorder or postpartum psychosis.
00:19:40A woman who is bipolar and has already presented with postpartum
00:19:44psychosis has a very significant risk of having
00:19:48another episode of postpartum psychosis.
00:19:51Uh,
00:19:53well, one of the factors that should also alert a new mother is insomnia without
00:19:57fatigue. Uh, a
00:20:00woman who could no longer rest even though her baby is sleeping, etc., and who
00:20:03would be quite agitated. That's something
00:20:07we really need to worry about to know if there isn't postpartum psychosis that is developing.
00:20:10Is it hormones linked to birth that trigger it, or is it
00:20:14an underlying psychiatric illness? Well, it's
00:20:18both, I'd say. That is, indeed, the risk factors, uh, there are genetic
00:20:22risk factors, so
00:20:25uh, as I said just now,
00:20:28uh, a history of postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder. But
00:20:32it's true that the postpartum period is a period of great
00:20:36psychological vulnerability
00:20:38uh, in women,
00:20:42and indeed, the more
00:20:45there is a much more significant biological component in postpartum psychosis than
00:20:49in postpartum depression. You work in a hospital, you
00:20:53are the head of a parent-child unit,
00:20:56uh, so that means you welcome couples
00:20:59mother and child or father and mother and
00:21:03child. How does it work, uh, how do you choose the cases? Is it always
00:21:06postpartum psychosis? No, it's not always postpartum psychosis, already because
00:21:10uh, during postpartum psychosis, it is important
00:21:14to have an emergency hospitalization. Uh,
00:21:18however, in our unit, there is not much space, there are five
00:21:21beds for parents and five beds for
00:21:23babies.
00:21:26So indeed, sometimes there is no space, and sometimes
00:21:29the maternal state also requires hospitalization in adult
00:21:33psychiatry, while waiting to then be able to have space
00:21:36in a mother-baby unit and be able to reunite the mother-baby
00:21:40dyad at that time. How long do hospitalizations last? On
00:21:44average 3 and a half months, but that means you
00:21:48have extremely few people you can...
00:21:50Exactly. How is it that there are so few resources dedicated to this disease, which is nevertheless extremely
00:21:54serious? Well, it remains a rare
00:21:58disease, uh, because, for example, for postpartum depression,
00:22:02many women are treated on an outpatient basis and do not
00:22:05need to be hospitalized, and in that case, indeed,
00:22:09it's only the most severe cases of postpartum depression that end up
00:22:12in a hospitalization unit. But there are treatments, we
00:22:16can recover. Postpartum psychosis, well, that's very important, indeed you are right to
00:22:20uh, postpartum psychosis has a good
00:22:23prognosis, meaning that there are treatments that are quite adapted, on which we have a lot
00:22:27of experience, and people regain their previous functioning
00:22:30ultimately in, well, in a short
00:22:34time. So we remember in any case that it can be cured. Thank
00:22:37you very much, Dr. Cécile Corfdir, for coming to talk to us about this
