00:00:31of Hormuz in 7 days, it was during the UN General Assembly
00:00:34this week that Tehran made the proposal, but the American
00:00:38a few days before the first round of president believes that the Iranian regime is losing the
00:00:41game. A few days before the first round of the
00:00:45presidential election, Lula banned sports betting in
00:00:48Brazil, betting platforms have exploded in the country in recent
00:00:52years, despite an attempt at regulation, these sports bets
00:00:55weaken many Brazilian households, but this
00:00:59attempt at... the home stretch is criticized by his rival
00:01:02Flavio Bolsonaro.

00:03:17a stroll aboard the Popemobile in the
00:03:21midst of a compact crowd gathered around the Arc de
00:03:24Triomphe

00:03:30welcomed with cheers and applause from the
00:03:33faithful, 70,000 people came to attend
00:03:36the mass of the sovereign pontiff who makes
00:03:40One week before the first round of a few stops to bless the children,
00:03:43an opportunity for the head of the Catholic Church to
00:03:46gauge his popularity among the
00:03:47French,
00:03:54we were right in front of the barrier but he turned his head at the
00:03:57wrong moment, we are happy.
00:04:00to have seen him anyway, it's a great moment of deep
00:04:03joy in union with the Church, and it was quite
00:04:06moving
00:04:08to pass on his Popemobile, with all the flags, the panoramic views of the Champs
00:04:12Elysées, it's moving and it's a first for us,
00:04:16highlight of the second day of his visit to France where he
00:04:19celebrated a giant mass on the Place de la Concorde on
00:04:23the occasion of the first visit of a Pope to France since
00:04:272008. I thank God for the
00:04:31grace that he offered me to be
00:04:34here on this Place de la Concorde to
00:04:38celebrate the Eucharist,
00:04:40may my presence among you
00:04:43confirm your faith. A little
00:04:47earlier, Leo XIV went to the Bakita house, a
00:04:51diocesan association supporting migrants. Since
00:04:54his election in May 2025, he regularly
00:04:57calls for defending the dignity of... exiled people and
00:05:01refugees, a papal visit that continues in
00:05:05Lourdes, then to Mass on Monday, some
00:05:0817,000 volunteers are mobilized and 12,500
00:05:11police and gendarmes for a total budget of 27
00:05:15million euros,
00:05:19tomorrow still in Lourdes, the Pope is to meet with seven victims
00:05:24Church, an exchange that will take place in private, among
00:05:30the Baier and former student of Betaram, two
00:05:33cases that shook French society
00:05:36and Etanadjie,
00:05:40the mosaics that adorn the facade. of the Rosary Basilica in
00:05:44Lourdes, hidden for the visit of Pope Leo
00:05:47XIV, they are the work of the artist and Jesuit
00:05:50priest Marco Rupnik, accused
00:05:53of sexual assault and psychological abuse by several of his
00:05:56former collaborators, including nuns. The
00:06:00Vatican would not have exerted any pressure to conceal them according to the Bishop
00:06:04of Tarbes and Lourdes, who invokes a symbolic decision
00:06:07out of respect for the
00:06:08pilgrims.
00:06:12if two of my clients revealed that they themselves had suffered abuse at
00:06:16the time when the artwork itself was being
00:06:19created.
00:06:22during his visit to Lourdes scheduled for Sunday, the sovereign pontiff will
00:06:25meet seven victims of sexual abuse within the French
00:06:28clergy. more than words and condemnations, many
00:06:32victims now await actions from Pope Leo XIV
00:06:36who recently called sexual abuse committed in the Church an
00:06:39open wound. and we obviously hope...
00:06:42uh that this meeting will be strong
00:06:46and not only in terms of emotion but
00:06:49in terms of taking a stand and that he
00:06:53will display absolute shame regarding all these
00:06:57priests who committed unspeakable acts. In
00:07:002021, a report from an independent commission
00:07:03estimated at 33,000, the
00:07:06number of children who suffered sexual violence within the Catholic Church in
00:07:09France, abuses that are seven decades old. The
00:07:13restorative bodies created by the Episcopate after the publication of this
00:07:17report, as well as the victim collectives, are already talking about a
00:07:20missed opportunity, they would have preferred a full day of collective
00:07:24exchange. The Catholic authorities have put in place protection
00:07:28measures and financial reparations, but the victims
00:07:32continue to demand accountability and more
00:07:35prevention.
00:07:38In other news, Donald Trump rejects the Iranian offer
00:07:42to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Tehran submitted the
00:07:47this week, for a reopening of the passage in 7
00:07:51days, but according to the Wall Street Journal, the American president
00:07:54is considering a resumption of bombing on Iran after
00:07:58the midterm elections in November. Axel
00:08:01Simon.
00:08:04Have you talked about the war with Iran? Yes, will there be progress
00:08:07concerning the strait? I think we're going to make excellent
00:08:10progress.
00:08:12Announced progress that will still
00:08:16rejected an Iranian proposal on Friday to reopen the Strait of Hormuz,
00:08:20currently blocked, within 7 days. The proposal
00:08:24made by Tehran through Qatari mediators provided for the
00:08:28reopening of this strategic maritime route and the suspension
00:08:31of fighting in the region, including in Lebanon. In return, broader
00:08:35negotiations would have been initiated, the United States would have
00:08:38lifted the blockade of Iranian ports, unfrozen funds
00:08:42and renounced oil sanctions against Iran.
00:08:46Unacceptable for Donald Trump, the American president believes, according to the
00:08:49Wall Street Journal, that the Islamic Republic will not keep its
00:08:53commitments. The American president, who would not rule out a resumption
00:08:56of strikes in Iran after the legislative elections in Mimanda on
00:09:00November 3rd. Unacceptable threats according to the head of Iranian
00:09:04diplomacy. Iran
00:09:06accepts neither coercion, nor threats, nor intimidation and will not
00:09:10renounce its sovereign rights under. sovereignty is not
00:09:14conditional,
00:09:16diplomacy does not mean capitulation and peace
00:09:20cannot be built on threats
00:09:21of annihilation.
00:09:25The blockade continues on both sides and Donald Trump even
00:09:29added fuel to the fire with this map published on his social
00:09:32network which proposes to rename the Strait of Hormuz Trump
00:09:36Strait. The agreement signed in June between
00:09:40Tehran and Washington nevertheless provided for. ending the war,
00:09:43reopening this strategic maritime passage and holding
00:09:46talks on the ultra-sensitive Iranian nuclear
00:09:49program, but no significant progress has been made
00:09:53since its signing.
00:09:57We continue with this eviction which caused a real uproar in
00:10:01Spain, hundreds of people demonstrated today
00:10:04in Madrid to support Marie Carmen, an 87-year-old woman who had lived in an
00:10:08apartment in the center of the Spanish capital for 70 years.
00:10:13She was evicted by the real estate agency that had bought her
00:10:16home, let's listen to her before going to
00:10:18Madrid.
00:10:22I couldn't defend my home, but I
00:10:25fought so that others would learn to fight,
00:10:29my home was my whole life and now I have to leave it behind
00:10:32me,
00:10:35but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop fighting and that I won't come
00:10:38back,
00:10:43in any case in Madrid, the mobilization to support her continues with a
00:10:47new demonstration today Selma Hajbuusian in
00:10:50Madrid,
00:10:52there's a new demonstration as you just said. here taking place at this
00:10:56very moment, it follows the first demonstration that took
00:10:59place on Wednesday afternoon following the eviction of Marie Carmen,
00:11:03this time tens of thousands of people went
00:11:07to demonstrate against this eviction, but more
00:11:11broadly against the housing crisis in Madrid and in
00:11:14Spain, this demonstration was organized by the Madrid
00:11:18Tenants' Union with the support of Marie Carmen
00:11:21who asked this afternoon for Spaniards to...
00:11:25mobilize for the right to housing and for modifications to
00:11:29be made to the law, a complex situation that
00:11:32continues and has become unbearable for millions of Spaniards
00:11:36who are revolting and who see their rents increase over
00:11:40the years, rents that have increased
00:11:44by more than 30% between 2021 and 2024
00:11:48while salaries themselves have only increased by
00:11:507.9% during the same period.
00:11:55a situation under high tension that is fueling this housing
00:11:58crisis that Spain has been facing again in recent years.
00:12:02That's the details from Selma Haj
00:12:06Buzian. We continue with these catastrophic floods in
00:12:09Bangkok, the Thai capital is under water. After torrential
00:12:12rains, a state of natural disaster has been declared
00:12:16throughout the city, the uninterrupted torrential
00:12:18rains in the last 48 hours have caused very
00:12:22significant flooding as you... can see in these images, Simon,
00:12:26submerged
00:12:29roads and residents forced to move in more than twenty centimeters
00:12:33of water, while the canals of Bangkok overflow and water
00:12:36seeps into buildings, life continues at all costs in the streets of
00:12:41the torrential rains,
00:12:44I'm
00:12:47shocked, honestly this situation is quite
00:12:49frightening, Saturday evening the situation was
00:12:53considered stabilized. and even if the roads are still flooded,
00:12:57the damage is already considerable, according to the
00:13:00Bangkok authorities, the most affected part is the east of the
00:13:03city, they have opened several temporary shelters in schools
00:13:06and have prepared a million sandbags for residents to protect
00:13:10their homes and businesses.
00:13:14Warnings were rather limited this time, the only real alert arrived
00:13:18Thursday morning via a notification on our
00:13:20phones.
00:13:22Before that, I wasn't sufficiently.
00:13:55throughout Thailand had caused more than 500 deaths and damaged millions
00:13:59of homes.
00:14:05the presidential election in Brazil, Lula has banned sports
00:14:08betting, these platforms have literally exploded in the country, in this country
00:14:12where football is king, they are also among the biggest sponsors of
00:14:16Brazilian clubs, let's go straight to Rio de
00:14:19Janeiro, Fany Loter, you are live with
00:14:22us, hello, but first we would like to know
00:14:25the extent of sports betting in
00:14:28Brazil, what is its
00:14:29place?
00:14:33well yes, as you said, football here is a religion and sports
00:14:37betting companies have understood this well, they have an incredible place here
00:14:41in the daily lives of Brazilians, I can tell you for example that last June
00:14:45during the football World Cup, on Copa Cabana,
00:14:49the fan zone was sponsored by
00:14:52several companies, sports betting companies. everywhere in the
00:14:55city, billboards sometimes much larger than the
00:14:59screen itself on which football supporters wanted to
00:15:02watch the match, football companies that
00:15:06sponsor 13 of the 20 most important
00:15:09football teams here in Brazil and who have
00:15:13world stars as ambassadors like Neymar or
00:15:16Vinicius Junior who have millions of followers on
00:15:19their social networks, it's a phenomenon that has grown so
00:15:23much that in 2025, these sports betting companies have
00:15:26absorbed nearly 10 billion euros in
00:15:30revenue from Brazilian households, more than 8
00:15:33out of 10 families are in debt here in... Brazil, a
00:15:36figure that the Brazilian government directly links
00:15:39to sports betting, more recently, last Wednesday, a new poll
00:15:43revealed that three quarters of Brazilians were
00:15:46in favor of banning these sports bets, in any case Fany
00:15:50Loter, Lula's rival, Flavio Bolsonaro who
00:15:53is also running for president, did not fail to criticize this
00:15:57decision he took in the home stretch before the
00:16:00first round,
00:16:03yes,
00:16:06he called this... decision electoral opportunism, it must be said
00:16:09that Lula announced this on September 25th in São Paulo
00:16:15the election which will be held on October 4th, a decision he justified by
00:16:19explaining that these sports betting companies, this sports
00:16:22betting phenomenon was a disease, the cancer of Brazilian
00:16:26society, he announced this decision as a public
00:16:29health decision, it must be said here that there are many associations that help
00:16:33these anonymous players, we met the president of an association
00:16:37here in Rio last June during the World Cup who explained to us
00:16:40that he was receiving hundreds of more and more requests
00:16:43from people from Brazil who want to try to stop
00:16:47gambling as they are addicted to sports betting, a decision
00:16:51obviously that Flavio Bolsonaro rejects while the two main opponents in
00:16:54the presidential election race are neck and neck in the
00:16:58polls according to the representative of the far-right opponent
00:17:01Flavio Bolsonaro, online betting should not
00:17:05be banned, on the contrary he even accuses the Lula
00:17:09government in 2023 of having regulated these online bets which had been
00:17:12authorized in 2018 under the government of Michel Temer, thank you
00:17:16Fany Loter, France 24 correspondent from Rio
00:17:19de Janeiro in Brazil, thank you. We continue with
00:17:23this mountain treasure hunt, every year, enthusiasts
00:17:27explore the cliffs of Haute Savoie in search of
00:17:30crystals that were formed several million
00:17:33years ago, some can be worth tens of thousands
00:17:37of euros, but their quest can be
00:17:40dangerous.
00:17:43In the Mont-Blanc massif, every summer,
00:17:47mountaineers go in search of
00:17:48them.
00:17:51It's like a treasure hunt at high altitude.
00:17:54Jonathan Charlet is a high mountain guide in Chamonix. In his family, they have been
00:17:58crystal miners from father to son for several generations.
00:18:02Accompanied by a friend, he progresses towards a site he knows
00:18:05well, where he has already made finds in the past,
00:18:08beware, we see the small crystals shining, we
00:18:12see calcites, there you go, it's a good sign, we know it's a
00:18:16place where there are crystals, in the cliff, they have spotted
00:18:20openings to prospect, cracks in
00:18:22the rock, where crystals sometimes form, that one is beautiful
00:18:26too, the exploration will be able to
00:18:29begin, the long straight ice axe, that's important, pointed at the end, it also
00:18:32acts as a chisel, at the same time, it allows you to
00:18:36hit the pieces in the... crack quite far
00:18:39with the small hammer like
00:18:40that it opened a small
00:18:44crack it comes
00:18:46slowly tapping digging
00:18:49scraping sneaking into the rocky
00:18:53cavity sometimes for hours without success that
00:18:57day so the crystal hunter shows us a piece he found during a
00:19:00previous exploration in the area these are quartz
00:19:04that grow stacked one on top of the other so with the points on the sides.
00:19:08and it's flat on top, that's what's really fascinating, it's trying to find new
00:19:11forms, new architectures, these
00:19:14stones formed several million years ago, with
00:19:18climate change, new pockets, he calls them
00:19:21ovens, appear and attract covetousness, some
00:19:25ovens are caught in the ice and so with glacial melt we
00:19:29find more and more crystal ovens and veins that are
00:19:32discovered, to regulate the practice, the Chamonix town
00:19:36hall has established rules: crystal hunters are subject to
00:19:39authorization to prospect and must show their discoveries to the town's
00:19:43crystal museum which can buy them at a reasonable
00:19:46price. The most beautiful piece is this pink
00:19:49fluorite, it was discovered and bought 12 years ago,
00:19:53it was the town hall that negotiated with the
00:19:56discoverers, because it was obvious that a piece like this had to stay at home, and
00:19:59how much? No, no answer to these
00:20:03questions. Several tens of thousands of euros according to
00:20:07our... information: the price, a taboo subject and
00:20:10at the same time present in everyone's minds. several times a
00:20:14year, stone researchers meet at crystal fairs like
00:20:17here in Bourdoisant, enthusiasts exchange and sell
00:20:21their finds at rather affordable prices. we are in pieces that
00:20:24vary between, let's say, 40 to 50 euros up to
00:20:28300-400 for the most expensive ones. Most of the crystal hunters
00:20:31present here claim not to make a fortune, just enough to
00:20:35finance their research and... many outings in
00:20:38the mountains, most of the time they prefer to keep their most beautiful
00:20:42discoveries for themselves. Romain Kerol exhibits the remarkable
00:20:45crystals he has found over time, like this piece of
00:20:48quartz, madam. asked when I put it in the display case
00:20:51but but it's not for sale, it's definitely
00:20:55not for sale, it's for me, it's for my collection, around
00:20:59Chamonix, about a hundred crystal hunters are registered with the
00:21:02town hall, each has their own research spots, which they
00:21:06usually keep secret, most of the collection takes
00:21:10place in the summer season,
00:21:13and now a spotlight on Chloé Réveillon at 31
00:21:17years old, she has been pursuing her dream for 5 years. to become
00:21:20a star dancer at the Amsterdam Opera, between intensive
00:21:24training and repeated performances, the Frenchwoman
00:21:27leads a daily life entirely focused on dance. Valérie
00:21:30Astruc, Flavie Motila and Louis Valle
00:21:33followed her.
00:21:37On the stage of the Amsterdam Opera, a
00:21:39French dancer of international
00:21:41class.
00:21:50Chloé Réveillon is 31 years old, her pointe shoes have graced
00:21:54the most prestigious theaters,
00:21:57London, Saint Petersburg, Paris, a career
00:22:00focused on the ultimate goal of becoming a star
00:22:03dancer, that's why I work every day and I get
00:22:06up on my days off, it's to achieve this
00:22:09dream. She has been dancing in the Dutch
00:22:12capital for 5 years, and her profession comes home with her every
00:22:16morning. I prepare my slippers for rehearsals.
00:22:20I take the opportunity to be in my head, to do visualization and review the steps,
00:22:23corrections and all the points of improvement for the next day,
00:22:27we finish at 11 p.m. with the shows and we rarely see daylight,
00:22:30so these moments are really
00:22:33privileged
00:22:36and important to stay connected to the outside
00:22:39world, good evening,
00:22:40good evening,
00:22:46tonight is the first performance of the season,
00:23:2014, the Sun King and we
00:23:23still teach ballet with these French words, as much in Russia as in
00:23:26France, in England or in other countries around
00:23:28the world. Conversely, Chloé also
00:23:32adapts to the Amsterdam way of life, getting off the Eurostar,
00:23:36I bought a bike right away, you have friends who
00:23:39text you, we said together tonight, we grab our
00:23:42bikes and then we pedal and come rain or shine. During
00:23:46the break, Chloé meets other French dancers who have recently
00:23:50arrived in the Amsterdam ballet, in this
00:23:52very competitive environment, the advice of the more experienced is
00:23:56welcome, you were very focused in fact, maybe get out
00:24:00of technical elements a bit, the French, we are therefore in elegance, in
00:24:03the exactitude of movement, we prefer
00:24:06to be perhaps less extravagant but much more
00:24:10precise, I think we are very well regarded, the
00:24:12French,
00:24:14it's not, as the show approaches, the
00:24:17hair and makeup are done by the...
00:24:50last rehearsal before the arrival of the audience, gestures
00:24:53learned as a young ballet student at the Paris Opera,
00:24:57precision, rigor, grace, all qualities
00:25:01typically French,
00:25:05the Paris Opera is a dream, and Chloé is quite
00:25:09stubborn, but stubborn in the sense that when it's time to
00:25:12arrive, you
00:25:13arrive,
00:25:16until the last moment, you have to rehearse, warm up.
00:25:24it's quite contrasted between a lot of calm and at the same time a lot
00:25:27of adrenaline so you have to manage this energy all along, I love adrenaline, I think
00:25:31that's what makes me feel
00:25:47alive, mission accomplished in the foyer, the... the audience is waiting for
00:25:50her and her

00:30:07It's 9 p.m. in Paris, time for the essential weekend on France
00:30:1024. Good evening everyone, I'm delighted to have you back for the news this
00:30:14Saturday. Pope Leo XIV's prayer for France
00:30:17this evening at the Grotto of Lourdes. The sovereign pontiff continues his visit to
00:30:21France. Earlier in the day, he was in Paris to celebrate a
00:30:24large mass on the Place de la Concorde. Some 800,000 people
00:30:28had made the trip to follow the service. Also in
00:30:31the news is the rejection by the United States of the Iranian plan to open
00:30:35the Strait of Hormuz. It had been submitted yesterday in Washington. For the American
00:30:39president, it's an admission of weakness on the part of the Iranian authorities who are, I
00:30:43quote, "losing." Finally,
00:30:46thousands of people are demonstrating in Madrid against Pedro
00:30:49Sanchez's government. They accuse him of not protecting Spain's borders after the influx of
00:30:53migrants that occurred this summer in Ceuta, a mobilization
00:30:56supported by the right and the far right. We will find our correspondent on site.
