00:00:00jingle and jingle, a report to watch on France
00:00:15obviously, the continuation of the visit to France of Pope
00:00:19Zinedine Zidane as coach of the French Francis. Several notable events this Saturday. In the morning,
00:00:22the head of the Catholic Church will visit a reception center
00:00:26dedicated to migrants in precarious situations. A little later,
00:00:29a giant mass will be held in Place de la Concorde, with 600,000 people
00:00:33expected. In the evening, he
00:00:35These new Catholics are changing the face of will fly to Lourdes. On
00:00:38renewing it from within. the first day of this historic visit, Pope Francis held a series of meetings and
00:00:41events, both religious, popular, and political. At
00:00:45UNESCO and at the Elysée, he warned against the dangers of AI, the
00:00:48scourge of war, surrogacy, or even end-of-life issues. He
00:00:52positioned himself as a defender of
00:00:55secularism, but not the kind that excludes religion from the public sphere. Full report
00:00:59in a moment. Also in the news, Donald Trump rejects
00:01:03Iran's offer to reopen the Strait
00:01:06of Hormuz and cease hostilities, according to the Wall
00:01:10Street Journal, citing Trump. The American president would even
00:01:14of the American naval blockade of be ready to resume bombing after the midterm
00:01:17elections. That's for the main
00:01:20problem, and that was the beginning of headlines. Coming up also, Zinedine
00:01:23Zidane's debut as coach of the French national football team, a
00:01:271-0 victory against Turkey in the Nations League. Victory on a goal by
00:01:31Kylian Mbappé, who was forced to leave the game due to injury and
00:01:34leave the national team gathering
00:01:52Some 60,000 people are expected this Saturday in Place de la
00:01:55Concorde in Paris for this giant mass celebrated by Pope
00:01:59Francis. On the second of the four days of his visit to
00:02:02France, the Pope's visit should lead to a vast
00:02:06Washington, Xi Jinping discussed popular demonstration. Kick-off at 3 p.m. for an
00:02:09event set to make history. Before this mass, the Pope will
00:02:12visit this morning around 9 a.m. the Bakita house,
00:02:15an institution dedicated to welcoming migrants
00:02:19in precarious situations. An opportunity for him to reaffirm his
00:02:23commitment to a subject close
00:02:26to his heart. Yesterday, the first day of Pope Francis's visit
00:02:29lived up to all expectations, so to speak. Political, popular, and religious
00:02:33meetings followed one after another in an atmosphere
00:02:37of fervor, whether at the Elysée, UNESCO, or the Stade de
00:02:40France. He launched a number of appeals on war, end-of-life,
00:02:44secularism, and AI. Report on this
00:02:47day with
00:02:48Lukiziela.
00:02:51An apostolic, historic, and
00:02:54political visit. Pope Francis's first steps in France are on
00:02:58the red carpet, from the
00:03:01airport to the courtyard of the Elysée where the
00:03:04Pope delivered an offensive speech in
00:03:07French. I sometimes observe with
00:03:09concern current drifts in societies
00:03:13that risk diverting science and
00:03:17technology into lucrative enterprises
00:03:20favoring genetic manipulation,
00:03:23surrogacy, organ trafficking,
00:03:26and assisted death.
00:03:31A jab two months after the adoption of the law on assisted dying in
00:03:35France. The sovereign pontiff also attacked those who
00:03:38distort the principle of secularism and
00:03:41warned against the dangers of artificial
00:03:43intelligence. The many communication channels risk
00:03:47multiplying false information and
00:03:51giving more importance to meaningless words, thus
00:03:55preventing dialogue rather than strengthening it. Artificial
00:03:58intelligence amplifies
00:04:01this problem. Such systems
00:04:03can use data, yes, but they cannot
00:04:07answer questions about the meaning of human
00:04:10life. As Pope Francis boarded his Popemobile,
00:04:14Parisians gathered to catch a glimpse of him
00:04:18during his walk through fervent streets. A very young
00:04:21crowd, there were schools that passed by, families all around, there were older
00:04:27mass. After the elevation of people, there were disabled people, in fact it's very very popular, very family-oriented. People come to see a
00:04:30Pope who is for some a religious leader, for
00:04:33others someone who inspires them, who gives them, who gives
00:04:37them warmth in their hearts. After vespers at Notre Dame, the Pope
00:04:41ended his day at the Stade de France with an evening vigil
00:04:44in front of 8,000 young people gathered like for a
00:04:48rockstar. Of course, all the teams of
00:04:51France 24, all our editorial staff, whatever their medium,
00:04:55videos, photos, illustrations, remain mobilized to continue to make you
00:04:59experience this... visit of Pope Francis. Special
00:05:02edition starting at 9 a.m. with our journalists in the street
00:05:06on set and our guests and
00:05:09consultants.
00:05:13According to the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump
00:05:17open the Strait of Hormuz for 7 days and cease
00:05:21hostilities. The newspaper also believes that the US
00:05:24President was preparing to resume bombings
00:05:27after the midterm elections. No official confirmation from the
00:05:31White House. Alice Broga details the Iranian proposal as
00:05:35it was formulated before the newspaper's revelations.
00:05:39To resolve.
00:05:55The Iranian Foreign Minister announced that he had submitted a plan to Washington via Qatar to
00:05:58open the Strait of Hormuz in one
00:06:00week.
00:06:03If the necessary conditions are met, the strait could be
00:06:06reopened and normal maritime navigation restored within this 7-day
00:06:10period.
00:06:15It notably demands the end of hostilities in the Middle East, including in
00:06:19Lebanon, the unfreezing of Iranian assets, the lifting of sanctions
00:06:23on Iranian oil, and the end
00:06:26Iran. These conditions were already included in the memorandum
00:06:30of understanding signed in June between Iran and the United States, which had
00:06:33failed. For its part, the White House indicated that positive
00:06:37discussions were taking place with mediators. Donald
00:06:41Trump claims not to be in a hurry to reach an agreement, but the
00:06:44surge in fuel prices caused by the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz
00:06:48is affecting his popularity with Americans just weeks
00:06:52before the midterm elections, a deadline on which Iranian authorities
00:06:56are playing. If the American government wants an
00:06:59agreement in accordance with international law? Very
00:07:02well. If not, whether it's before or after their elections,
00:07:06what difference does it make to us?
00:07:10The Iranian president also boasts of having the
00:07:13support of the Chinese president. During a state visit to
00:07:19the war in Iran with Donald Trump. China, which imports massive amounts of
00:07:22Iranian oil, is also fully suffering the consequences of the
00:07:26closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
00:07:29Also in international news, the escalation between Houthi
00:07:33fighters in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
00:07:36Despite daily Saudi bombings, the Houthis are multiplying
00:07:40their attacks and are now targeting Riyadh. Two drones targeting
00:07:43the Saudi capital were intercepted, according to the coalition
00:07:46led by Saudi Arabia against the Houthis this Saturday. Saudi
00:07:49appeals to Donald Trump for military support have so far
00:07:53remained dead
00:07:56letters.
00:07:58Russia is not preparing for any combat of any kind with
00:08:02Europe. Vladimir Putin once again refutes
00:08:05accusations, particularly French ones, according to which Moscow
00:08:09is preparing to attack the European Union. He affirmed, however, that
00:08:12he will, I quote, think carefully before resuming
00:08:15talks with Ukraine. The Russian president expressed this on the
00:08:19sidelines of a forum on culture in
00:08:21Saint Petersburg.
00:08:24What government for Morocco after the legislative
00:08:28elections won by the outgoing coalition? A victory
00:08:32marked, however, by a massive abstention,
00:08:35only 38% participation.
00:08:38Consultations are underway. The king's decision to appoint a new governmental
00:08:42team is highly anticipated, says Émilie
00:08:45Boil.
00:08:48In Morocco, the vote count is over. The outgoing
00:08:51coalition wins the legislative elections
00:08:54overwhelmingly.
00:08:58The provisional results gave the following results: the Authenticity
00:09:01and Modernity party wins 97
00:09:04seats. The National Rally of Independents, 66
00:09:08seats, the Istiqlal party, 65
00:09:11seats, and the Justice and Development party, 54
00:09:15seats.
00:09:18Without an absolute majority, the Authenticity and Modernity party
00:09:21will have to form a coalition. Fatima al Mansouri,
00:09:25national coordinator of the party, stated that they would only begin alliance
00:09:29negotiations once the king had appointed a head of
00:09:32government.
00:09:35This question was not addressed. As a
00:09:38political party, we are waiting for the results and we will only
00:09:41turn to alliances once our king has
00:09:45appointed the head of the next government, male or
00:09:48female. A notable fact is that the Justice
00:09:51and Development Party, an Islamist opposition party, quadrupled its
00:09:55number of seats by winning 54 compared to 13
00:09:58previously. The party had campaigned notably on the fight against
00:10:02corruption, highlighting in its program purchasing power and youth
00:10:06employment. We hope that they will create employment opportunities for young
00:10:10people so that everyone can find work instead of...
00:10:15We ask them to do what they say, to manage things well,
00:10:19so that the country's affairs run smoothly, especially in terms of
00:10:22health, education, and employment. Youth
00:10:25employment was one of the main issues of these elections, which were held
00:10:29less than 2 months after the migratory crisis in Ceuta. Despite the efforts of the
00:10:33parties, the participation rate was only 38%, one of the lowest
00:10:37rates recorded in 20 years.
00:10:40A word on sports with the debut of
00:10:44national football team, a 1-0 victory against Turkey in the
00:10:47Nations League, a victory on a goal by Kylian Mbappé, who was forced
00:10:51to leave the game due to injury and leave the national team gathering
00:10:55as a precaution. Report on the match with Jules
00:13:5550 years old and still young and valiant,
00:13:59U2, the legendary Irish rock band is 50
00:14:02years old, and what better way to celebrate this anniversary than to return to the places where
00:14:06they started. U2 thus found themselves in the high school where the band
00:14:09formed in Dublin, a surprise concert in the school
00:14:12but also in other areas of the city. For the occasion, the band also
00:14:16unveiled their new single from their
00:14:1950th anniversary album.
00:15:00You're on Line Weekend, it's time to catch up with the teams of 7
00:15:03in France. On the occasion of the Pope's visit, we focused on a
00:15:07phenomenon in full expansion: the explosion in the
00:15:11number of baptisms of adolescents and adults. Watch.
00:15:32A trend no one saw coming.
00:15:36For several years, the number of baptisms has been exploding among young
00:15:39people in France. Arnaud, I baptize you in the name of the
00:15:43Father. When I arrived 8 years ago, we did 10
00:15:46baptisms a year, and we are preparing to welcome 45 or 50
00:15:50baptisms for next Easter.
00:15:54A phenomenon explained by a difficult current context,
00:15:56but not only that. Yes, I can say that I had a
00:16:00personal encounter with
00:16:02Jesus.
00:16:05What does the Catholic Church have to say about the meaning of life? That was really my
00:16:08approach.
00:16:13the church and
00:16:27Johanne and Matthieu have been friends for 4 years. They
00:16:31met on the benches of the university in Paris, not far from
00:16:35this climbing wall. It's an indoor sport. And there's a lot
00:16:38of implicit communication especially through the rope,
00:16:42and, yeah, you have to trust each other, yeah, it's cool. A
00:16:46complicity based on a common desire for
00:16:48performance.
00:16:52Come on, come on.
00:16:55But for Johanne, physical exertion is no longer enough
00:16:59and soon he begins a quest for spirituality. I grew
00:17:03up not at all in a religious environment, on the contrary, we talked very little about God, when we
00:17:07talked about God it was more to say that everyone should do
00:17:10as they wanted and that I shouldn't be forced into anything. My mother
00:17:13is agnostic and my father, on the other hand, is profoundly
00:17:17atheist and rather anticlerical.
00:17:21Yet at his grandmother's funeral, Johanne heard
00:17:24the Ave Maria, a Catholic hymn that deeply
00:17:27moved him. I was asking myself questions about what the meaning of
00:17:30life really was, and well, I knew that religions in general
00:17:34could potentially answer that, or at least offer an answer. And I
00:17:38knew that Matthieu, my best friend, was Catholic, so I told
00:17:41him, listen Matthieu, if you ever go to
00:17:44mass, I'd be willing to go with you to
00:17:47see.
00:17:50A curiosity shared by many young people
00:17:52currently. While the church deplores the decline in religious
00:17:56practice in France, the number of adult baptisms has tripled in 10
00:18:00years, more than 21,000 in
00:18:022026.
00:18:06The pandemic, the... in Ukraine, the acceleration of
00:18:09climate change mean that the future seems
00:18:13bleaker than modernity, which seemed to offer solutions to the problems of human
00:18:17life, sometimes appears as a threat, and that
00:18:20religion in general, spirituality,
00:18:23is regaining credibility among young
00:18:25generations.
00:18:32Generally, when young people come to church and
00:18:35knock on the door, they have already made a journey. So for
00:18:38some, it has been a question since their childhood, they were not baptized because their parents were not
00:18:41believers, not practitioners. There is a journey, for some it's a very
00:18:45recent experience, it can be a sudden discovery
00:18:48of God in a church, a reading of the Bible that has transformed their
00:18:52lives.
00:18:54And then there's a moment when they are invited to come to what
00:18:58we call here the youth mass, a mass that brings together nearly 100 young people, and they
00:19:01experience that they are not the only ones asking the question.
00:19:05Here, I think about 20 % of our congregation are people who
00:19:09are not baptized or who are
00:19:11returning.
00:19:15Among these new Catholics, Malik, a lawyer
00:19:18of Senegalese origin and Muslim
00:19:20culture. When he arrived in Paris for his
00:19:24studies, Malik felt a huge void,
00:19:28so he immersed himself in
00:19:29the
00:19:33Bible. For more than 10 years, I happened to go to churches several
00:19:36times. Because I wanted to see paintings, because I like
00:19:39architecture, but as soon as I felt a mass
00:19:42starting, I would run away because I didn't feel
00:19:46at home, because I would tell myself, "Well, the Catholics will gather
00:19:50among themselves, and I don't belong to that world, so I have to
00:19:53leave."
00:19:57In 2021, a friend invited me to her wedding mass, I found myself for
00:20:01the first time in a
00:20:04the host, I understood that God had always been there for me.
00:20:08It's this phrase that still makes me
00:20:11live today, it's Jacob who says that, when he wakes up one
00:20:14morning, he says: God was there and I didn't know
00:20:17it. It's this phrase that worked on
00:20:20me. I understood that God had always been there, who had led
00:20:24me and that I was discovering him at that moment. For
00:20:27this new generation, religion is no longer a taboo,
00:20:31nor an obligation.
00:20:34Religion ceases to be a heritage that is received at
00:20:38birth and automatically transmitted
00:20:41from one generation to another to become more of a free choice. So compared
00:20:45to the typical profile of Catholicism, these
00:20:48newly baptized bring... university, they come from more
00:20:53immigration, they diversify the image of Catholicism and break
00:20:56the stereotypes associated
00:20:58with it.
00:21:02Among the baptismal candidates,
00:21:05Morgane. She is 27 years old and is preparing to become
00:21:08an English teacher.
00:21:12I grew up in a housing project in the 94 in a
00:21:15single-parent family raised by my mother with an
00:21:19older sister who... who is disabled and who went to a care home, my mother was
00:21:23a police officer, she came from Madagascar when she was 19, she was
00:21:27Protestant, but we never really were practicing as
00:21:30a family, we didn't go to mass, we didn't go to church, I didn't really
00:21:34understand what it was when I was a child.
00:21:38After the death of her mother, then her
00:21:40godfather, Morgane felt the need to go to church and
00:21:44looked online.
00:21:48Near her home, she found... Satan de la Butocaille, where she was
00:21:51welcomed by a priest, but she still
00:21:54hesitated.
00:21:58I feel like I couldn't explain why, it was September
00:22:012025, no, I have to go back to church, I went, I
00:22:04found Father Henri, I asked him if I could still join the
00:22:07catechumenate, he told me no the adventure,
00:22:11you know. The Pope in Rome, the
00:22:14catechumenate is the teaching that leads to baptism,
00:22:18it lasts on average 2 years. At the time, it was much more important, how
00:22:22are the gospels of the day chosen because it's fixed since it's written in the Bible,
00:22:26how was it chosen? To clarify the question, it's about the
00:22:29choice of liturgical texts that we hear at mass. There are
00:22:33Sunday masses and weekday masses, the four
00:22:37gospels, the birth of the catechumenate. There's a free exchange at the beginning where we can ask
00:22:40questions and it's a very informal exchange with the priest
00:22:44and then there's a short teaching on the death of Jesus on the
00:22:48cross or who is... the Virgin Mary,
00:22:51and then we read the Bible together just among
00:22:55catechumens and then there's a small prayer at the
00:22:57end. of the Holy Spirit.
00:23:00Amen.
00:23:17context. New era, new method
00:23:20of communication. The Church must now reckon with
00:23:24influencers.
00:23:26The Catholic Church has very little sway over these
00:23:29influencers who will mix beauty
00:23:33tips, Jesus glow, Lent
00:23:36routines, and theological elements. So the
00:23:39very horizontal logic of social networks, from that
00:23:43point of view, weakens the vertical dimension of
00:23:46Catholicism. The best known is Brother Paul Adrien.
00:23:59We find Sister Albertine who started on social networks in 2021 with the support of her
00:24:03community. Let's be present at this moment and then
00:24:07let's pray for the Pope, let's pray for France.
00:24:10Amen. To serve young people, you have to
00:24:14understand their world, what they watch for hours a day,
00:24:18and so it started like that, making small videos. Very simple, they are really short
00:24:21videos, very simple to answer quite basic questions that they told
00:24:25me, but very quickly the messages multiplied and the requests
00:24:28went further. She says she is not Catholic but she appreciates the content. There isn't a
00:24:32week when there isn't someone who shares, who
00:24:35opens their heart in a true quest for God. I
00:24:39very regularly give a phone number or a contact
00:24:43of a parish, of proposals that will be able to go
00:24:46from virtual to... because we are the religion of
00:24:51the incarnation, we are a religion that cannot be lived
00:24:55completely behind a
00:24:56screen.
00:25:00it was an influencer who guided Malik to the Trinity Church and
00:25:04its priest,
00:25:07a meeting that changed his life and that of his Muslim
00:25:10mother. At the beginning of my Catechumenate,
00:25:14when, well, the brothers and sisters in the parish, because we are
00:25:17many, asked me... uh
00:25:21how it would go with my mother, when I would tell her, I
00:25:24always answered a little almost annoyed, a little offhand, it will go very
00:25:28well, my mother lived all her life
00:25:32in France, she has very good Catholic friends, so
00:25:36I didn't prepare anything and then one Sunday,
00:25:39well, uh I told her that I was going to ask for baptism and
00:25:43that, by the way, I had to leave the Sunday lunch
00:25:46because I had to go to evening mass.
00:25:51And it was that that created a chill, a very big
00:25:54chill between us,
00:25:57uh, we almost didn't talk for almost a year, but indeed it
00:26:01wasn't, it wasn't... easy,
00:26:03yeah,
00:26:06more and more, it's friends who bring to
00:26:08religion, like Matthieu who followed Johanne's whole journey
00:26:12until he became her godfather.
00:26:15Johanne, I baptize you in the name of the
00:26:18Father and of the Son
00:26:22and of the Holy Spirit.
00:26:24Amen.
