00:00:12You are watching L'essentiel Weekend on France 24. Good evening everyone. Top story this
00:00:15Saturday evening, Pope Leo XIV's prayer for France at the Grotto of
00:00:19Lourdes. The Sovereign Pontiff continues his visit to France.
00:00:22Earlier today, he was in Paris to celebrate a large mass
00:00:26on Place de la Concorde, with some 80,000 people according to the Vatican,
00:00:30who had made the trip to attend the service. Also in
00:00:33the news, the United States' rejection of the Iranian plan to
00:00:37open the Strait of Hormuz. It had been submitted yesterday in
00:00:39Washington. For the American president, this is an admission of weakness on the part
00:00:43of the Iranian authorities who are, I quote, "losing".
00:00:46Finally, thousands of people in the streets of Madrid
00:00:50against Pedro
00:00:52raid 38 km from Sanchez's government, accusing him of not protecting Spain's borders after the influx of
00:00:55migrants this summer in Ceuta, a mobilization
00:00:58supported by the right and the far right.
00:01:15Pope Leo XIV has therefore left Paris for Lourdes this evening,
00:01:18a new stage in his journey in France. Lourdes is one of the most
00:01:21famous pilgrimage sites in the world. Tens of thousands of
00:01:25people were again able to acclaim him during his procession in the Popemobile in the
00:01:29Pyrenean city. The Pope then led a prayer for
00:01:32France at the Massabielle Grotto
00:01:35player had decided to withdraw from where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared to a young shepherdess in
00:01:381858. He notably called for a harmonious
00:01:41society and, I quote, "wise and generous leaders
00:01:44ready for sacrifice," especially a few months before
00:01:48the presidential
00:01:48election.
00:01:52Pope Leo XIV, who was in Paris a few hours earlier, where he celebrated a
00:01:56giant mass on the Place de la Concorde in the presence of hundreds of thousands of
00:01:59people. Back on this second day of visit with Ethan
00:02:02Haji.
00:02:06An immense crowd on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées to
00:02:10catch a glimpse of Leo
00:02:12XIV's Popemobile
00:02:14with, along the way, a few stops by the Sovereign Pontiff to
00:02:17bless people with disabilities and
00:02:20children. The faithful and curious
00:02:24acclaim the Pope. Bravo, long live
00:02:27the Pope! Yes, we actually went to see the Pope and it was
00:02:31quite moving to see Pope Leo pass by in his
00:02:35Popemobile. We didn't expect
00:02:38to find a place like that, we hadn't bought tickets but in the end they told us
00:02:42"go, go, you can enter" so we entered, we were right in front of the
00:02:46the earth had opened up, white barrier but he turned his head at the wrong moment, we are happy to have seen him anyway,
00:02:50it's a great moment of deep joy in communion with
00:02:54the Church. 70,000 people were
00:02:57gathered according to Vatican figures for this procession
00:03:01and the giant open-air mass on the Place de la Concorde. These
00:03:05people, it's one of the most beautiful periods, one of the most beautiful days of their lives, because
00:03:08everywhere in the world, and at any time of they will be able, with other Christians with whom they share the same faith, with whom they
00:03:132027 along with share the same relationship with Jesus, to experience something extraordinary on the most beautiful avenue
00:03:16in the world, a mass of an hour and a half celebrated by
00:03:19the Pope to conclude this visit to the capital, the
00:03:23first for a Sovereign Pontiff since 2008.
00:03:26Earlier on Saturday, he went to a Catholic reception center and...
00:03:41oh yes, what do I say at the end of the Rhum, navigator Tom Laperche won
00:03:46a beach without having to fight for space. and he is now expected this Sunday on a sensitive subject, sexual
00:03:48violence committed by members of the clergy, a closed-door meeting
00:03:52is planned with seven victims of violence, a format criticized
00:03:55by several
00:03:5624 hours of offshore racing from associations.
00:04:01The mosaics that adorn the facade of the Basilica of the Rosary in
00:04:04Lourdes, hidden for the visit of Pope Leo
00:04:08solidified on contact with the XIV. They are the work of the artist and Jesuit priest Marco
00:04:12Rupnik, accused of sexual assault and psychological
00:04:15manipulation by several of his
00:04:18sunrise off former collaborators, including nuns. The
00:04:21Vatican reportedly exerted no pressure to conceal them according to the Bishop of Tarbes
00:04:25and Lourdes, who cites a symbolic decision out of respect for
00:04:29pilgrims.
00:04:31stages of the This is important because my clients' accounts
00:04:34revealed that they themselves had suffered abuse at the time when
00:04:37the artwork itself was being created.
00:04:40During his visit to Lourdes scheduled
00:04:42for Sunday, the Sovereign Pontiff
00:04:46will meet seven victims of sexual abuse within the French
00:04:49clergy. More than words and condemnations, many
00:04:53victims now expect action from Pope Leo XIV,
00:04:57who recently described sexual abuse committed in the Church
00:05:00as an open wound, and we obviously
00:05:04hope that this meeting will be strong and not
00:05:07only in terms of emotion but in
00:05:11terms of taking a stand.
00:05:13And that he will display absolute shame with
00:05:17regards to all those priests who committed the unspeakable. In
00:05:202021, a report from an independent commission
00:05:24estimated at 33,000
00:05:26the number of children who had suffered sexual violence within the Catholic Church in
00:05:30France, abuses dating back seven decades. The
00:05:34restorative bodies created by the episcopate after the publication of this
00:05:38report, as well as victim collectives, are already talking about a
00:05:41missed opportunity. They would have preferred a full day of collective
00:05:45exchange. The Catholic authorities have put in place
00:05:49protection measures and financial compensation, but victims
00:05:52continue to demand accountability and more
00:05:55prevention.
00:05:58Moving on to the rest of the news, it's no, Donald Trump's answer is unequivocal,
00:06:02the American president categorically rejects the Iranian proposal
00:06:06to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 7 days. According to him,
00:06:10the Iranian leaders are in dire straits, they want this agreement because they are losing
00:06:14(Axel Simon).
00:06:17Have you talked about the war with Iran? Will there be progress
00:06:20concerning the strait? I think we will make excellent
00:06:23progress. Progress announced but which
00:06:27will still be awaited. Donald Trump rejected on Friday
00:06:31an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz
00:06:34within 7 days, currently locked. The proposal
00:06:37formulated by Tehran through Qatari mediators provided for the
00:06:41reopening of the strategic waterway
00:06:45and the suspension of fighting in the region, including in
00:06:48Lebanon. In return, broader negotiations would have been
00:06:52initiated, the United States would have lifted the blockade of Iranian
00:06:55ports, unfrozen funds and renounced oil sanctions
00:06:59against Iran. Unacceptable for Donald Trump,
00:07:03the American president believes, according to the Wall Street Journal, that the Islamic
00:07:06Republic will not honor its commitments. The American
00:07:09president who would not rule out a resumption of strikes in Iran after the legislative
00:07:42elections. to add fuel to the fire with this map published on his social
00:07:45network which proposes to rename the Strait of Hormuz the Trump
00:07:49Strait. The memorandum of understanding signed in June between
00:07:53Tehran and Washington provided however for an end to the war,
00:07:57to reopen this strategic maritime passage and to hold
00:08:00talks on the ultra-sensitive aspect of the Iranian nuclear program,
00:08:04but no significant progress has been made since its
00:08:07signing.
00:08:10Heading to Spain now, part of the
00:08:12population is still angry after the influx of migrants this summer in
00:08:16Ceuta. Thousands of people gathered this Saturday in Madrid to
00:08:19protest against the government's handling of the crisis by Pedro
00:08:23Sanchez. They are demanding early general elections. Julien
00:08:27Dubois.
00:08:29They came by the thousands to the streets of Madrid, Spanish
00:08:33flags in hand, to show their support for the residents of
00:08:36Ceuta and to demand the resignation of Prime Minister
00:08:40Pedro Sanchez. Spaniards are angry and blame their
00:08:44leaders for not having protected their country's borders in
00:08:48Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in
00:08:50Africa. It's a real disaster, the residents of
00:08:54Ceuta are at their wits' end, so I think they need to be supported, even if we are far
00:08:57from them.
00:09:00The government remains totally inactive, it does nothing
00:09:02and we want to demonstrate because we believe it is
00:09:06totally unfair. The policy pursued with regard to Morocco consists
00:09:10of yielding to everything that country says, instead of defending
00:09:13Spain.
00:09:16Two months ago, more than 70,000 migrants from
00:09:19Morocco entered the Spanish territory located in North Africa
00:09:23by foot or by swimming. Most of the migrants
00:09:26quickly returned to Morocco, but thousands remained in
00:09:29Spain. This Saturday's demonstration, organized
00:09:33by a civil society platform, was supported by conservatives
00:09:36and the far-right Vox party, whose leader
00:09:40Santiago Abascal came to demonstrate. Among the
00:09:43demands, the expulsion of all migrants who entered
00:09:46Ceuta. Faced with this anger, the newspaper
00:09:49El País indicates that the Spanish government plans to adopt a decree
00:09:53on Tuesday to accelerate the return of migrants from Ceuta to
00:09:56Morocco. This week, Pedro Sanchez designated Morocco as
00:10:00responsible for this migratory crisis. According to a Spanish police
00:10:04report, the number of Moroccan agents present at the border post on
00:10:08the days of the influx was significantly lower than
00:10:10normal.
00:10:14Stay with us, L'essentiel continues, we'll be back in a
00:10:16moment.
00:10:30And right away, let's talk sports with Cédric
00:10:32Ferrera.
00:10:37Good evening Cédric, good evening again, Marion. Well, cycling to start
00:10:40with, the Dutchwoman Demi Vollering is world champion on road. It's the
00:10:44icing on the cake of Demi Vollering's exceptional
00:10:47season. She has almost won everything.
00:10:51After the Tour de France, the Tour of Italy, the classics Liège
00:10:54Bastogne-Liège, the Tour of Flanders, La Flèche Wallonne.
00:10:58You see Demi Vollering very emotional with the gold medal around her neck
00:11:01as she has just been crowned world champion on road in
00:11:05Montreal, Canada, where this urban race of 180
00:11:08km took place, quite long actually for this type of format. The 29-year-old
00:11:12Dutchwoman was the immense favorite. She launched into a daring
00:11:17the finish, but you can see in this image, she was
00:11:20caught and then had to fight for victory in
00:11:24a final sprint against the Pole Kasia
00:11:27Niewiadoma. You see the Pole on the left in white in the image who launches her
00:11:31sprint, unfortunately for her, she won't be able to maintain her effort until the end since she
00:11:35will injure her thigh and on the right Demi Vollering in orange will
00:11:39be able to take the victory on the finish line.
00:11:42Behind her in third place is the Italian Elisa
00:11:45Longo Borghini. It is therefore the first world championship title
00:11:49for Demi Vollering, overjoyed as she crossed the finish line. She
00:11:53confirms once again that she is the best cyclist in the world
00:11:56currently. In Formula 1 now, George Russell won the Azerbaijan
00:11:59Grand Prix after a chaotic race. Chaos is
00:12:03often the case during the race in Baku, Azerbaijan,
00:12:06a very complicated urban circuit for the drivers. There were still
00:12:10some accidents, but that was not decisive in George
00:12:13Russell's victory. You see, a perfect weekend for him, he had dominated
00:12:17qualifying, he had started in pole position for this start that you
00:12:20see in the image, and he won the race quite easily on...
00:12:25All you need to remember is that he outclassed his teammate
00:12:28and current leader of the drivers' standings Kimi Antonelli.
00:12:31Antonelli, who had completely messed up his qualifying by
00:12:34crashing into a wall. He started 16th this Saturday, but still finished
00:12:385th, he managed to save face. Also note that behind George
00:12:42Russell on the podium, two Red Bull cars, Max Verstappen 2nd,
00:12:46Isaac 3rd. For Max Verstappen, victory was not
00:12:50that far off, he started 8th, he put insane pressure on George
00:12:53Russell throughout the race. Behind, it's the image you see of Verstappen who is right
00:12:57behind George Russell and he finished 2nd
00:13:01and then in 3rd place Isaac, the other Red Bull driver, the Frenchman who
00:13:05had missed the last three Grand Prix due to a wrist injury, he is back
00:13:09and he signs a podium right away, so it's good news for him. In the drivers'
00:13:12standings, George Russell, whom you see, is
00:13:16still 2nd behind Kimi Antonelli.
00:13:19Antonelli, his teammate, still has 66 points ahead, a comfortable
00:13:22lead. The world championship title should be decided between the
00:13:26two Mercedes drivers, there are still eight Grand Prix left before the
00:13:30end of the season, a duel therefore between a Briton and an
00:13:33Italian. Moving on to volleyball, bad news for
00:13:36France, they were beaten by Poland this evening in the European
00:13:40Championship final. And yes, the match just ended literally a
00:13:44few minutes ago. Bad news for the Blues who hoped to beat
00:13:48Poland once again, after their victory at the Olympic Games against
00:13:51Poland already, but during this final, it was indeed the Poles, considered to be the
00:13:55best in the world in men's volleyball, who were the favorites and logic was
00:13:59respected. Poland won 3 sets to 1. The
00:14:03dream of the Blues, 11 years after their only European championship title, has
00:14:06just vanished. Note that Poland,
00:14:09after this victory, is directly qualified for the Los Angeles
00:14:13Olympic Games in
00:14:152028. They managed to get their revenge, the Poles,
00:14:19after the defeat against the Blues, as I told you, at the last Olympic
00:14:22Games. But we can console ourselves with triathlon, the Frenchwoman Cassandre
00:14:26Beaugrand became world champion for the second time, and here again we can
00:14:30talk about the Olympic Games since two years ago in Paris, Cassandre Beaugrand had done
00:14:33very well by winning the gold medal in the
00:14:372024 triathlon. By the way, these are the images you see when she won her title and
00:14:41was celebrated at Club France 2024. She had
00:14:45therefore won the Olympic medal and the world champion title, and this
00:14:48year in 2026, it's an almost perfect year, she did even
00:14:52better as she participated in five
00:14:56world circuit and won five victories, the
00:14:59last one this Saturday in Pontevedra, Spain. Let me remind
00:15:03you of the triathlon format, 1.5 km of swimming, 40
00:15:06km of cycling, 10 km of running, which is her strong point for
00:15:09the finish, and that's where she makes the difference, leaving her pursuers more
00:15:13than a minute behind. I mentioned a perfect year, why? Because
00:15:16she was the best in triathlon, but you should know that
00:15:20Cassandre Beaugrand also participated in athletics events
00:15:23this year in France and she set two records in
00:15:27the 5000m and in the 10 km road race. The season is
00:15:30coming to an end and we can say that it has been a complete success for the 29-year-old
00:15:34multi-talented athlete. Now for football, let's take stock of
00:15:37the main results. The continuation of the Nations League, Spain
00:15:41won in England, there was a beautiful spectacle and many goals at
00:15:45Wembley in London, the home of English football. The
00:15:49match started very well for Spain with a goal from Lamine Yamal
00:15:51in the 2nd minute, but at halftime
00:15:55England was already leading 2-1 thanks to Anthony Gordon and Harry
00:15:58Kane, and then the Spanish world champions once again relied on their
00:16:02players who came off the bench, Alex Baena and Michael
00:16:06Oyarzabal, to win 2-1 in England in this first day
00:16:09of the Nations League. You see the other results, we note the
00:16:132-1 victory of Croatia in Czechia and the 3-0
00:16:17success of Switzerland in North Macedonia. The Nations League continues this Sunday with
00:16:21other big matches on the program, including
00:16:24another great match between Portugal and Norway, Cristiano
00:16:27Ronaldo against Erling Haaland. And tomorrow also
00:16:31there will be the Ireland vs. Israel match which will indeed
00:16:34take place because for a while the holding of
00:16:37this match was simply threatened, it will also be played on
00:16:41neutral ground in Hungary for security reasons. Why
00:16:44? Well, because in Ireland, there is widespread support for the Palestinian
00:16:48cause. The controversy began last week when the
00:16:52Irish coach declared that his team would
00:16:55play, I quote, "against genocide and not with it,"
00:16:59but rather against Israel, which had led to
00:17:02strong reactions from the Israeli side. Since then, some Irish
00:17:05players reportedly intended to
00:17:07boycott the match to protest against the war in Gaza. At least one Irish
00:17:13the team. So the Irish this Saturday finally
00:17:16held a vote among themselves, the majority decided to play
00:17:19the next two matches against Israel. Moreover, in the images you
00:17:23see, it is indeed the Israeli team training at the
00:17:26Debrecen stadium in Hungary where this match will take
00:17:30place. It is a rather painful event for the players of
00:17:34both teams. I suggest you listen to the Irish
00:17:37coach explain his players' choice.
00:17:40The
00:17:45players feel like they are doing the wrong thing by playing this match, given the pressure
00:17:48from Ireland. It is not a pleasant feeling to be under such pressure from
00:17:52our supporters. So we want to make it clear that we do not
00:17:56support what is happening in Gaza. We are playing this match because the
00:17:59rules of our sport require it. We are playing this
00:18:03match because that is what the rules of the competition we are participating in dictate.
00:18:11So this Sunday Ireland vs. Israel in Hungary and then on October
00:18:144th there will be a second match which will take place this
00:18:17time in Serbia, always for security reasons. This
00:18:21decision by the Irish, as you can imagine, was welcomed by the
00:18:24Israeli Football Federation. Still football in Africa this time, the
00:18:28continuation of the qualifications for the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 and it starts well for South
00:18:31Africa with a 2-1 victory against Guinea. In the other
00:18:35match of Group D, note this match. a one-all draw between Kenya and
00:18:38Eritrea, an almost friendly match since
00:18:42Kenya participates in the qualifications without stakes because Kenya, we recall,
00:18:46is the future organizing country of the Africa Cup of Nations
00:18:50Uganda and Tanzania. Note that for this first day of
00:18:54qualification, the big names of the African continent were present with
00:18:57victories, except for Senegal who conceded a draw on the
00:19:01pitch of Mozambique, a first failed match for the new coach
00:19:04Patrick Vieira, but the Senegalese will of course have the opportunity
00:19:08to bounce back for the second day which will start this Monday. And we finish with
00:19:12sailing. About a month before the famous transatlantic race, the famous Route du
00:19:18the 24-hour Ultim. It was the
00:19:21last major test in competition for the giants of the
00:19:24seas, the fastest multihull boats in the world, those of the
00:19:28Ultim class, which will take the start of the Route du Rhum.
00:19:34Lorient in Brittany, at the start and finish
00:19:37of Lorient, so it is the navigator Tom La Perche at the helm of the SVR Lazartigue
00:19:40trimaran who was the fastest for this 5th
00:19:44edition of the race. 24 hours without sleep but at least
00:19:48at the finish, you see in these images, he was able to enjoy
00:19:52this incredible panorama at
00:19:55Lorient in Brittany. In the Ocean 50 category, that is
00:19:59smaller trimarans, it was Basil Bourgnon with his
00:20:03boat Eden Red who was the fastest. Now for everyone,
00:20:06see you on November 1st
00:20:09in Saint-Malo for the Route du Rhum. And that's it, we leave you
00:20:13with these beautiful sunrise images, it makes you want to be there, doesn't it Marion?
00:20:16I hope so, I hope so, you are currently doing the accreditations, I'm trying.
00:20:20Yes, thank you very much Cédric for this sports
00:20:23news update. It's now time for our focus on a little-known
00:20:27territory, the island of Montserrat, in the heart
00:20:31of the Caribbean. This British overseas
00:20:33territory has an unusual history. Part of the island was buried
00:20:37after the eruption of its volcano in 1995. Today
00:20:40it is largely deserted, with an atmosphere of the end of the
00:20:44world. This is a report by our colleagues Diane Schlanger,
00:20:48Kily Sullivan Denberg and Claire.
00:21:02It is nicknamed the Emerald of the
00:21:04Caribbean, Montserrat, an island of
00:21:08raw beauty, sculpted by the power of a
00:21:11volcano, polished by time.
00:21:15Man is welcome only at the whim of the Soufrière, of its
00:21:19eruptions. To venture onto this
00:21:21land, you must be careful.
00:21:25Know that 5 people are preparing to enter the area and especially
00:21:29be with a guide.
00:21:41As you drive, each car kicks up clouds of
00:21:44ash,
00:21:46ash ejected by the furious volcano, a volcano still very active. You don't
00:21:50want to be there on a day when the mountain is in a bad
00:21:54multifaceted mountain that these New York tourists are discovering
00:21:58for the first time. I feel so
00:22:01small, this size, it's
00:22:05so massive and you see these sorts of large,
00:22:08very, very deep crevices,
00:22:12there are up to 60 meters of volcanic material, you want to call it the
00:22:16monster, a monster that awoke
00:22:2031 years ago.
00:22:22Repeated explosions of smoke, incandescent
00:22:26rocks, an avalanche of fire that carried
00:22:29everything away, including the capital,
00:22:32Plymouth, which is now a ghost town,
00:22:35almost entirely buried under the
00:22:38ash.
00:22:40We're on Saint George's Street, but you can't see any of that anymore. The memorial, for example,
00:22:44there's no trace of it left, it's buried here under our
00:22:47feet. Only the third or fourth
00:22:51floors of the buildings here are still visible, a phone store or the
00:22:54library, of the bank, only the roof is still
00:22:58apparent. This hotel welcomed in the 1990s
00:23:02many tourists and businessmen, and here it
00:23:05is
00:23:06today.
00:23:09Trees even grow on the roof, in the ash, it's
00:23:12impressive. A window into the
00:23:15past life, an office with documents abandoned in a hurry.
00:23:18Alvin
00:23:21Ryan experienced the emergency evacuation. He was working
00:23:25in this supermarket on July 18, 1995 when suddenly,
00:23:29I started to hear a noise that sounded like an airplane engine, but
00:23:32it continued, I realized that
00:23:36steam was coming out of a crater, I hurried to
00:23:39retrieve some belongings, I didn't realize then that I was leaving
00:23:43here forever. 19 people died,
00:23:46some could not be evacuated,
00:23:50others refused to leave. Faced with the incessant
00:23:53threat, two-thirds of the inhabitants left the island, those who remained
00:23:57moved further north.
00:24:00But they still resonate here, the echoes of the past glory of this
00:24:04British territory, prized at the time by the greatest
00:24:07musicians, says Strates, Paul
00:24:09McCartney, Elton John. They
00:24:13recorded some of their biggest hits in this studio of George Martin, the
00:24:17Beatles' producer, now abandoned.
00:24:21All then draw their inspiration from these
00:24:25idyllic landscapes, now reserved for a few initiates.
00:24:28It's really the strangest paradise, it's
00:24:32unique, to be alone on such
00:24:51There too, the volcano makes its
00:24:53law, the incandescent rocks have
00:24:58water, creating picturesque
00:25:01reefs,
00:25:05these volcanic rocks are the perfect habitat for corals and sponges, then
00:25:09fish can reproduce there, hide there, many reefs that don't have
00:25:12many visitors, it's a blessing,
00:25:16yes, in Montserrat, there are more sea turtles than tourists.
00:25:21And the rays can hide in the sand without risking being
00:25:24disturbed.
00:25:27This week in Bil Retour, we take you to the north of France,
00:25:31how has the situation of migrants evolved over the last 10
00:25:34years in Calais and its surroundings since the dismantling
00:25:38of the camp nicknamed the great jungle. This place
00:25:41sheltered thousands of people. They all had the same
00:25:44dream, to cross the Channel and reach the
00:25:47United Kingdom.
00:25:54Today, there are dozens of smaller
00:25:58jungles spread over a wider area along the
00:26:01coastline. So we understand that they need to be as low as possible,
00:26:05so there are teams working 7 days a week to collect waste, the police are still trying
00:26:09to prevent them from getting into makeshift boats and
00:26:12dismantling the camps, but the number of migrants has not
00:26:16decreased, always ready to risk their lives to achieve their
00:26:19dreams. Bil Retour, Calais from jungle to
00:26:23jungle, a report to see on France
00:26:2624.
