00:00:10reaffirmed the positions of
00:00:32Thank you for choosing France 24 to keep you informed about the world, Pope
00:00:36Leo XIV is therefore preparing to leave Paris, he must
00:00:40fly to Lourdes, the Sovereign Pontiff presided over a solemn mass
00:00:44this afternoon in Place de la Concorde here in the capital. At least 700,000 people
00:00:47took part, according to figures released by the
00:00:51Vatican.
00:01:00course. He has kept the
00:01:05I told you a moment ago, 60,000 people had been
00:01:07announced, there were finally 700,000
00:01:11according to Vatican figures gathered on the Champs
00:01:14Élysées this afternoon on the Champs-Élysées and far
00:01:17beyond for this mass presided over by Pope
00:01:20Leo XIV, the time has come for the Sovereign Pontiff to
00:01:24conclude this 2-day stopover in Paris before
00:01:27flying to Lourdes, Marie Chuster was on
00:01:31the Champs-Élysées all afternoon, I suggest you
00:01:34listen: the Champs-Élysées were this Saturday packed
00:01:38with people to follow this exceptional mass in the heart of the capital celebrated by
00:01:42Leo XIV in person and it was precisely to see him in his Popemobile
00:01:46are they a complement or a competitor to that Catholic faithful had gathered in front of the barriers from the
00:01:49early hours of the morning, at his passing, the fervor was at
00:01:53its peak, parents held out their babies to try to obtain the
00:01:57blessing of the Holy Father, young people jostled to
00:02:00immortalize the moment with their mobile phones, we even saw
00:02:04priests climb over the barriers to also have a chance
00:02:08to meet the Pope's gaze. Upon his arrival at Place de la
00:02:11Concorde, the commotion
00:02:14mosaicist, he is an artist of gradually gave way to silence to listen to the Pope's
00:02:16homily, some had tears in their eyes, others told us they had been
00:02:22there of comforted by the Pope's words and felt less alone today, this papal celebration is also a historic
00:02:26moment because it made it possible to gauge the Catholic fervor.
00:02:30France and then Florence Gaillard
00:02:34was at Place de la Concorde, Florence, this square where this
00:02:38nature than solemn outdoor mass was held is gradually
00:02:41emptying, perhaps an opportunity to make a
00:02:45first assessment of this Parisian stopover of Pope
00:02:48Leo XIV here in the capital before continuing his journey in France
00:02:51obviously,
00:02:54absolutely, the Pope followed the schedule that
00:02:58even anger was planned, which was extremely busy in Paris, which
00:03:02began with an official day with the Élysée, with
00:03:05UNESCO, with Notre-Dame and then it
00:03:09ended with the Stade de France with young people aged 17 to 35
00:03:12years, and today it was a little more moving day, perhaps a little more
00:03:16spiritual, a little more heart to heart, excuse me
00:03:19the expression, he went to meet vulnerable
00:03:23people at the Bakita house, people with disabilities,
00:03:26migrants, former people
00:03:30true everywhere in all societies, in in in prostitution, then
00:03:33he went to the Catholic Institute of Paris where he met catechumens,
00:03:36alcohol, mixed with neophytes, seminarians, all these people who
00:03:40are in a way the future of the Church, and then finally
00:03:43he walked along this avenue of the Champs-Élysées where he
00:03:47took the time to greet the crowd, to bless
00:03:50children, to shake hands, to obviously
00:03:53then go up on the stage to celebrate this
00:03:57mass with a crowd of
00:04:00600,000 to 1 million people,
00:04:0395 and we are still waiting for the count, but it should be quite a large
00:04:06number, and he gave a speech, a rather short
00:04:10homily, but where he was direct in
00:04:13his remarks, that is to say, he asked Catholics and those
00:04:17the time of the who were watching, those who were listening to know what their priorities were,
00:04:21are they material possessions, are they entertainment,
00:04:25are they things that leave emptiness or discomfort
00:04:28inside or are they
00:04:31important things, spiritual things, things that
00:04:34take us further, things that satisfy us and
00:04:38nourish us and quench our thirst in the long term
00:04:41for something higher and greater.
00:04:44The Sovereign Pontiff, Florence, who indeed was at
00:04:48times in his role as head of the Catholic
00:04:51Church, and also as a politician in his capacity as
00:04:54head of the Vatican, he went from one register to
00:04:58sexual violence within the another, in that which concerned religious questions, he was firm,
00:05:02as you just said, reminding us of the positions of
00:05:05the Church, even though he was invited by
00:05:09the mosaics adorning the facade of the President of the Republic, we remember in particular what he said, for example, concerning
00:05:12end of life, since we remember that a law has been in force since last
00:05:16August here in France, or surrogacy, these are
00:05:19questions that raise questions, but he
00:05:23the Church without
00:05:24concession.
00:05:27Absolutely. So we're not going to say there
00:05:30was tension between the Pope and the President of the Republic, because everything went very well at
00:05:34the Élysée. Nevertheless, the President of the Republic would
00:05:37have liked an official lunch with the Pope, he would
00:05:40have liked an official dinner with the Pope. He would have liked a beautiful
00:05:44visit to Notre-Dame de Paris with him and the re-baptizers
00:05:48of Notre-Dame. He didn't get all that, especially since the
00:05:52theme of the Pope's trip was for the world and life,
00:05:55and obviously, the law on end of life that has just
00:05:59been voted by parliament in France poses a problem for
00:06:02the Catholic Church, just like abortion which has
00:06:05been constitutionalized in a way by the President of the Republic,
00:06:09so the Pope has kept his
00:06:13course of Catholic doctrine in the face of a country that is
00:06:16increasingly secularizing and de-Christianizing. Thank you
00:06:20very much, Florence Gaillard live from Place de la Concorde for France
00:06:2324, Constance Colona Cesari,
00:06:27journalist and Vatican specialist always by our side, I present you again for those
00:06:30who have just joined us, what Florence
00:06:33said a moment ago, this position
00:06:37of the Sovereign Pontiff firm when necessary, reminding
00:06:41us of the positions of the
00:06:46Church firmly but without aggressiveness, in any
00:06:49case the Republic knows what the Church thinks,
00:06:52the Church knows what the Republic does, we talk
00:06:56to each other, I would say, as adults,
00:06:58and things are clear, there were, well,
00:07:01perhaps still some barbs, because when he
00:07:05compares end of life,
00:07:08a text like that, even if he didn't mention the problem of the law,
00:07:11he spoke only of principles, but we must not compromise
00:07:14life, the sale of organs,
00:07:17donation,
00:07:20surrogacy, that's not all,
00:07:22it's not quite the same,
00:07:26so we can clearly see that the Pope
00:07:29has ultimately
00:07:32criminalized, I would say, by this way
00:07:36of encompassing these three themes
00:07:39which for us French people are quite different in nature,
00:07:43because for end of life it also responds to a demand in society
00:07:47anyway, it's of a different
00:07:50the sale, the organ donation, yes, but the sale
00:07:53of organs is very badly viewed,
00:07:57he put all these questions on the same level, so there,
00:08:01and I also read in his speech at the Élysée perhaps
00:08:04a notion that didn't go all the
00:08:07way but to say that a good Christian might
00:08:11refuse to apply this
00:08:14kind of thing, so there we are also opening up
00:08:17freedom for certain doctors to refuse,
00:08:21conscientious objectors to invoke a conscientious objection exactly
00:08:25and that obviously these are much heavier
00:08:28themes than these are the lines of the speeches but for
00:08:32now we have remained quite general anyway, important
00:08:36things have been said well would he have
00:08:39been able to go all the way by saying this is what the church says but this is also what the laws
00:08:43of the country in which you find yourself say so
00:08:45first the laws of this country that must be obeyed oh but in any
00:08:49case he did not at all encourage that,
00:08:53we can say that if we read carefully last night I made
00:08:56this speech at the Élysée perhaps but it's not how it
00:09:00was said he has no reproach addressed to the
00:09:03government he did not try to convince to ask
00:09:07France to go back on these texts when
00:09:11we know that François, in his tête-à-têtes with
00:09:14Emmanuel Macron, had tried to convince him, notably
00:09:18a priori in Marseille, at the Pharo
00:09:21Palace, when, he had
00:09:24come to Marseille and not to France, as we remember he had
00:09:27said and where he had met Emmanuel Macron in any event, he had
00:09:31firm, important messages reminding
00:09:34everyone of their positions after
00:09:37all, and we will now project ourselves towards the next
00:09:41stage of this pontifical journey here in France, Pope
00:09:44Leo XIV is expected this evening in Lourdes,
00:09:48a sanctuary city, where pilgrimages are also held, it is in
00:09:52Lourdes that he will meet victims of sexual
00:09:55violence within the Church, he will meet only
00:09:58seven, while we will recall a figure, 33,000
00:10:02people at least according to their report published in October
00:10:052021, 33,000 people who have been victims of
00:10:11Church and its institutions. What do these victims expect from this meeting
00:10:14in Lourdes, I suggest you watch this report and then we will talk about it just
00:10:17after,
00:10:21the Rosary Basilica in Lourdes were hidden
00:10:25for the visit of Pope Leo XIV, they are
00:10:28the work of the artist and Jesuit priest Marco
00:10:30Rupnik, accused of sexual assault and psychological
00:10:34manipulation by several of his former collaborators,
00:10:37including nuns. The Vatican reportedly exerted no
00:10:41pressure to conceal them, according to the Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes,
00:10:44who invoked a symbolic decision out of respect for
00:10:47pilgrims.
00:10:50It's important because my clients' accounts revealed that they themselves
00:10:54experienced abuses at the time the artwork itself was being
00:10:57created. During his visit to Lourdes scheduled
00:11:01for Sunday, the Sovereign Pontiff will meet seven
00:11:04victims of sexual abuse within the French
00:11:07clergy. More than words and condemnations, many
00:11:11victims now expect actions from Pope Leo XIV
00:11:15who recently described sexual abuse committed in the church as an open
00:11:18wound, and we obviously hope
00:11:22that this meeting will be
00:11:26not just in terms of emotion, but in
00:11:29terms of taking a stand and that he
00:11:32will display absolute shame towards all these
00:11:36priests who committed the unspeakable. In
00:11:392021, a report from an independent commission
00:11:42estimated at 33,000 the
00:11:45number of children who had suffered sexual violence within the Catholic Church in
00:11:48France, abuses that were seven decades old. The
00:11:52restorative bodies created by the bishops after
00:11:56the publication of this report, as well as victims' collectives,
00:12:00already evoke a missed opportunity, they would have preferred
00:12:03a full day of collective exchanges. Catholic authorities have put in place protection
00:12:07measures and financial compensation, but victims
00:12:11continue to demand accountability and more
00:12:14prevention.
00:12:17So an important moment awaits Pope Leo XIV in Lourdes,
00:12:21he has this meeting, as we said, with these seven victims of sexual violence, he
00:12:25also has all this embarrassment surrounding the mosaics on the facade of the
00:12:28basilica, another bad sign, I would say, but why doesn't the
00:12:31Vatican go faster in its reforms, why is there a fault
00:12:35of Pope Francis, this
00:12:39the Church, he is a Jesuit, Rupnik, Father Rupnik,
00:12:43and if there had not been the decision
00:12:47the Bishop of Lourdes and
00:12:50well the mosaics of this person
00:12:54who abused, we know that,
00:12:57women would continue to appear so
00:13:00what a disastrous signal, what a fault so
00:13:04there is always a slowness, we see that the Vatican,
00:13:07it is running behind, it is not going fast enough and
00:13:11it is unfortunate but it is always the case and it does not mean that the Church is not
00:13:15progressing but that it is progressing at a pace that is not that of society
00:13:18and that always creates unsatisfied expectations, frustrations,
00:13:23on the part of these victims, on the part of these victims' collectives
00:13:27and on the part of society as a whole, can we explain it, is there
00:13:31a disconnection between the Church and this reality and these sufferings
00:13:34that are cried out today, or is there rather a
00:13:38will not to see, it's simply not to see, I think the problem
00:13:41is that it takes, well,
00:13:44generations to pass, it may still take, well, yes, a
00:13:48generation because there are people who understand in the Church, there are
00:13:51people who do not understand, but it's
00:13:55outside the Church, I don't want to diminish the Church's fault at all, but in
00:13:59fact we understand well, there are scandals of pedophilia, of complaints in
00:14:02our society, you see the recent tragedies of complaints that are
00:14:06not recorded, of reports that are not made that
00:14:10lead to child murders, so we see
00:14:13that there is a slowness in all structures and it's worse for
00:14:16the Church because canon law in its form is a law
00:14:20that there is no civil society in the Church so what does canon law
00:14:24do, it protects itself, it protects its institution, you see
00:14:28the notion of civil victim, that does not exist for
00:14:31the Church, these are concepts that apply to societies, to
00:14:35civil justice, not religious, so
00:14:38it takes more time elsewhere, and I would say it has
00:14:42West, and then tomorrow Africa,
00:14:46Asia, we will hear about it unfortunately for a very
00:14:49long time, I'm afraid, in any case the Sovereign Pontiff will be
00:14:52reminded of this question at the time of this journey to Lourdes,
00:14:56towards which we are now looking forward before closing this news, I would just like to show
00:15:00you this image from Lima, Peru,
00:15:03we remind you that the Sovereign Pontiff also has the nationality of this country, this man whom
00:15:07you see at work is an artist who dedicates a giant
00:15:10statue to Leo XIV, Raphael Gutierrez is his name, he is a sculptor and
00:15:14he is still at work, he is working on the details of the portrait of the bust of the
00:15:18Sovereign Pontiff which is almost finished, so at a time when all eyes are on
00:15:21France, these images come to us from Peru. We
00:15:25leave it at that and he will go to Peru soon, he will go
00:15:28to discover this statue, thank you very much,
00:15:31Constance Colona Cesari, thank you, this is the end of this edition, thank you for
00:15:35watching.
00:16:58This morning a customer came, this machine had a list price of 70 million and
00:17:01800. As I'm recording this video, it's been about 6
00:17:05hours since this machine was sold.
00:17:37or by train or by truck.
00:17:40All these steps add a strange and unusual
00:17:44cost. A few months ago, I had to lay off all 12
00:17:47of my employees. My prices are, without exaggeration,
00:17:51increasing hour by hour.
00:18:03My retirement salary is not enough for the first week of the
00:18:06month. And I'm the one.
00:18:33This is not life with all this killing
00:18:36and massacres, we.
00:19:37Tonight it's capoeira and
00:19:41uses
00:19:44sport, dance and art to
00:19:47supervise, educate and transform youth,
00:19:50jeunesse,
00:19:57we open the door for all people who
00:20:00want to participate in activities, even children
00:20:04who are part of the be no problem for us.
00:20:08Because we work for violence reduction
00:20:10community,
00:20:12social.
00:20:50Social capoeira is like a sport
00:20:53to develop school, discipline and
00:20:57self-confidence and also to stimulate creativity,
00:21:01imagination and self-expression, we work
00:21:04to help vulnerable
00:21:07people, and we also work on social
00:21:11equality, respect and we
00:21:14empower women, girls because there are
00:21:17many women and girls who are... victims of
00:21:20gender-based violence sexual aggression,
00:21:24sexual harassment, we work a lot against that, Saint Anthony,
00:22:24Did you know that transport accounts for 16% of carbon emissions worldwide,
00:22:28that road transport is responsible for three
00:22:32quarters of this pollution,
00:22:34and that the number of individual cars has doubled in Europe since the 1970s?
00:22:38Hello and welcome to Plan B,
00:22:42the economy otherwise. Greenhouse gas emissions, fine
00:22:46particles, noise pollution, for now 2.6%.
00:22:50Vehicles that pollute the planet are electric or rechargeable
00:22:53hybrids. The decarbonization of road transport is just
00:22:56beginning. As an alternative to electric,
00:22:59biofuels remain a hope, especially since
00:23:02you can equip your car with a box to run on
00:23:05gasoline or beet. A sugar
00:23:08factory but not only, some of the surrounding crops
00:23:12end up in the tank of our cars. This group manufactures
00:23:15industrial alcohols for perfumery, pharmacy and
00:23:19fuels. Our raw material has arrived, the first step will
00:23:23be fermentation, so here in front of us, there are two
00:23:26fermentation lines, one line for the fermentation of beet
00:23:29juice and one line for the fermentation of all wheat
00:23:33substrates. The distillery is built a few
00:23:36kilometers from the sugar factory, the wheat arrives directly through
00:23:40a pipe from a neighboring farmer's silos. We will remove all
00:23:43the outer wall which is called the bran and we will grind
00:23:47the almond to recover the starch that we will ferment. and thus obtain
00:23:51alcohol. To obtain biofuel, it is necessary to obtain an
00:23:54almost pure alcohol, 99.7%.
00:23:57Wheat or beet wine is therefore distilled and then strongly
00:24:01dehydrated, otherwise it will damage the engines.
00:24:05This is where we will analyze the finished product, because the main characteristic of biofuel
00:24:08is to check its water content, especially the absence of water in
00:24:12biofuel to really guarantee the quality of the finished product that can be used
00:24:16in a combustion engine. Final product at the pump, E10 fuels.
00:24:20and E85, they contain at least 10 and
00:24:23up to 85% vegetable
00:24:26classic gasoline, they can power hybrid vehicles but
00:24:30not only, it looks like
00:24:34this, very simple,
00:24:37you plug it in, hop, there you
00:24:41go, finished, this small box between 700 and 1000
00:24:44€ also allows you to power gasoline engines manufactured
00:24:48from the year 2000. You can put 98, you can put
00:24:53ethanol, it will manage the flow of
00:24:57injectors, either it will send more
00:25:00fuel, or less. Concretely,
00:25:03the motorist can fill up at any service
00:25:06station, the box manages the mixture in the tank,
00:25:10for it to work, it is necessary to inject more biofuel than
00:25:13gasoline. The big difference is in fact the
00:25:16difference in energy value between
00:25:19E85. super ethanol and
00:25:21SP95 98 gasoline, there is
00:25:25an energy difference of 28%. The box will
00:25:29therefore make the real-time adjustment to always inject the right mix
00:25:32of fuel. The result, according to
00:25:35them, is greenhouse gases reduced by half compared
00:25:39to fossil fuels, a subject of debate and a more
00:25:43immediate impact on pollution than switching to electric, no need
00:25:47to create a new ecosystem with charging
00:25:50stations, a new infrastructure for
00:25:53cars, you can go to the gas pump,
00:25:56the ecosystem already exists, and yet only
00:25:5935,000 boxes have been sold by the company.
00:26:07is done online by individuals, the rest is bought by professionals like the VTC driver's
00:26:11house with 300 equipped vehicles.
00:26:14On average, a VTC driver travels 5000 km per month,
00:26:18so for 5000 km per month, that's a saving of 300 € per month. The
00:26:22ethanol box allows us to retain the driver, meaning that a customer who has
00:26:25tasted ethanol will no longer return the
00:26:28vehicle. In France, bioethanol is taxed 5 times less than traditional gasoline.
00:26:33Biofuels are also encouraged in Brazil and the United States,
00:26:37an undeniable advantage, they are impervious to oil
00:26:40shocks.
00:26:46The NGO Transport and Environment has calculated that biofuels can
00:26:49be more polluting than hydrocarbons. Well, that depends
00:26:53on the conditions under which they are made. You have to know that
00:26:56when we are going to use agricultural crops to make
00:26:59biofuels, the question to ask is, if there are
00:27:03fewer agricultural crops for food, are we going to
00:27:07clear other lands to make other
00:27:10agricultural productions, and when you remove all this
00:27:13biodiversity, well, you will have CO2 emissions and you will
00:27:17store much less CO2, and so in this case, biofuels
00:27:20are not necessarily with a positive environmental
00:27:23impact, unless they are second-generation
00:27:26biofuels, precisely, there are second-generation biofuels that will not
00:27:30compete with food uses. So these second-generation
00:27:33biofuels will use either agricultural production
00:27:37residues, or urban waste
00:27:40residues such as used cooking oils, which we
00:27:44will transform into biofuels. Biofuels,
00:27:49electric? In the energy transition, we will rarely have
00:27:52a miracle solution, not to say never, in the medium term, in
00:27:55France, in Europe, for the individual car,
00:27:59the solution is a priori rather the electric car, the carbon
00:28:03footprint will be much better and biofuels have other possible
00:28:07applications, namely aviation and probably maritime
00:28:10transport. This is the end of this broadcast, find all our Plan B
00:28:14on the France 24 website, X, Facebook or on my LinkedIn
00:28:17and Instagram pages. See you next week!
00:30:06good morning everyone, thank you for being with us on France 24, at the top
00:30:10of this news, 700,000 people were gathered earlier
00:30:14in Place de la Concorde for the Pope's XXL mass, Leo
00:30:1814 is now on its way to Lourdes for a prayer in the
00:30:21Grotto of Apparitions which will take place in the evening, but
00:30:25before that, the highlights of this day with Marie Chuster, she will be live
00:30:29with us, she is live with us from the Place de la... Concorde
00:30:32will tell us about this day and then we are also with
00:30:36Constance Colonna Césari, specialized journalist
00:30:40from the Vatican, hello to you, thank you for being with us.
00:30:44Refusal, Donald Trump rejects the Iranian offer to
00:30:47reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 7 days, it was at the UN General Assembly
00:30:51this week that Tehran made the proposal. The American
00:30:54president believes that the Iranian regime is losing the
00:30:58game, we will come back to that.
