00:00:53Angelus prayer, due to a nodule detected at a
00:00:57very early stage. We will find Natalia Mendoza. in Rome,
00:01:12your program with the breaking of French expatriates'
00:01:14a new explosion heard in Riyadh at midday, that's what
00:01:18AFP journalists on site
00:01:20live 3 hours at the heart of are reporting, while yesterday Saudi Arabia deplored the deadliest attack
00:01:23committed on its soil in more than 10 years, at least 12
00:01:26people were killed, 309 injured,
00:01:30in a missile strike against the airport, Saudi
00:01:32authorities accuse the Houthi rebels supported by Iran,
00:01:36who did not claim responsibility for Saturday's
00:01:39one of the most violent that West attack but are today calling on travelers to avoid Saudi
00:01:43airports.
00:01:47In front of Riyadh airport, a line of ambulances and
00:01:50disoriented passengers. These are the rare images currently
00:01:54coming from Saudi Arabia, after the deadly strike that targeted
00:01:57the capital's airport on Saturday around 3 p.m. Witnesses describe
00:02:01scenes of chaos with hundreds of injured and dozens of ambulances
00:02:05called urgently. The General Authority of Civil Aviation
00:02:08indicated that the attack caused several injuries whose condition is being
00:02:12evaluated. It specified that airport operations were temporarily
00:02:15suspended pending a
00:02:19Coumar, in the face of law full assessment of the damage and the
00:02:21state verification of the safety of the facilities in coordination with the competent authorities. All
00:02:25flights to Riyadh have been diverted or cancelled. Later
00:02:28in the evening, the authorities reported the fall of a projectile near
00:02:32another airport, that of Dammam in the east of the
00:02:35kingdom. These attacks, which have not been claimed, are
00:02:39attributed to the Houthi rebels from Yemen, who oppose the Yemeni
00:02:42government forces supported by Saudi Arabia, and who launched
00:02:46a lightning offensive in September strengthening their grip on the strategic
00:02:50Bab-el-Mandeb strait. In recent days, the scale and
00:02:54frequency of attacks targeting Riyadh has increased. The city's airport
00:02:57has already been targeted twice this week. Several people have been
00:03:01killed and injured. To counter the Houthis, the Saudi kingdom has been seeking
00:03:05In the state of Haryana in northern military aid from its American ally for weeks, without
00:03:08success. Donald Trump remained vague on the subject on Saturday
00:03:12in front of journalists. Have you decided to join the Saudi
00:03:16strikes? It's possible, we'll see, in what timeframe?
00:03:19We just learned of the attack, we will make a decision and act very
00:03:22quickly. These strikes on Riyadh come shortly
00:03:26before a major annual investment conference is held
00:03:30in the kingdom in October, which attracts visitors from all
00:03:33over the world.
00:03:35It's time for Ukraine to have a new
00:03:37Mendoza. Hello Natalia, what do we know about president. This new accusation against Volodymyr Zelensky was signed by
00:03:40Donald Trump. The American president accuses him of obstructing
00:03:44peace with Russia. Zelensky's response: it is up to our society, to
00:03:48our people to choose this or that leader. He also
00:03:51reiterated in an EBC interview his call for a 60-day
00:03:56Pope said at the end of ceasefire with Russia. This, according to him, would allow for organization.
00:04:03The day after Donald Trump's attacks targeting Volodymyr Zelensky,
00:04:07calling for a change of president, many Ukrainians
00:04:10are rallying behind their leader, like these residents
00:04:14of Kyiv, exhausted by almost 5 years of
00:04:16war. To be polite, it's not just a bad
00:04:20statement, it's a betrayal, in my opinion, it's a betrayal on the part of our
00:04:24allies, we are independent, the United States cannot
00:04:27decide to replace like
00:04:30Your program with... the French from that. On Saturday, the American president also criticized the strikes from
00:04:33Kyiv
00:04:36on Russian refineries, accusing them of driving up the price of diesel in the
00:04:40United States. These statements come the day after the announcement
00:04:43on Friday of an agreement between the
00:04:46or United States and Russia for the massive purchase of Russian diesel,
00:04:50Sunday after the Angelus accompanied by an easing of American man demanded sanctions on Moscow. On Sunday, the Ukrainian
00:04:54president invoked the fundamental principle of
00:04:56reciprocity. On the social network X, he made
00:05:00it known that Ukraine would be ready to cease its strikes against Russian refineries
00:05:04if Moscow's forces stopped attacking Ukrainian infrastructure.
00:05:06Russia has intensified its strikes against Ukrainian
00:05:10territory in recent months, causing a growing number of civilian
00:05:14casualties. Ukraine has also increased its strikes in Russia, which it
00:05:17describes as just retaliation for Moscow's bombing.
00:05:21On the night of Saturday to Sunday, new Russian strikes injured several dozen people
00:05:25and caused significant material damage, as here in
00:05:28Dnipro in this residential area. Or here in
00:05:31Bucha in the Kyiv region, where a Russian drone attack
00:05:34targeted this vast industrial facility.
00:05:38This question now, has Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk been
00:05:42targeted by an assassination attempt? This is what the Polish
00:05:46Interior Ministry announced, after information from law enforcement,
00:05:50the Minister of Defense and several other officials were also
00:05:53targeted, an emergency meeting was convened at the anti-terrorist
00:05:56center of the internal security
00:05:59agency.
00:06:03This new drama at sea now, this time off Djibouti, at least 139
00:06:06migrants, among them 15 children, have perished, according to the UN, more than
00:06:10116 others are still... missing after their boat
00:06:13capsized, this was on the night of Thursday to Friday, it
00:06:17capsized off the city of Obock, while it was heading
00:06:21towards Yemen.
00:06:24In India, the Kafars are not giving up, the name of this youth
00:06:28movement that marches against the power of Narendra Modi. This Sunday, three of their
00:06:32leaders were released by the courts after their arrest the
00:06:36day before, young people who denounce the removal of 130 million
00:06:40voters from the electoral lists.
00:06:45With fists raised in a sign of victory, the three leaders of the Kafar
00:06:49movement regained their freedom this Sunday, the day after their
00:06:53arrest in New
00:06:54Delhi.
00:07:00The three leaders of the protest movement had been arrested even before they
00:07:04landed, on the grounds that the demonstration they had called for
00:07:08on Saturday had not been authorized, which did not
00:07:11prevent many demonstrators from gathering and being arrested
00:07:15by the police, who carried out more than 2000 arrests
00:07:18on Saturday, and while the leaders of the movement called for
00:07:22the protest to continue on Sunday, the gathered
00:07:25demonstrators continue to demand the resignation of the chairman of the electoral
00:07:28commission, Guianesh
00:07:32enforcement officers massively deployed in the streets of the capital, who
00:07:35once again carried out numerous arrests.
00:07:38This dictatorship will not
00:07:41work. The way our people and our students have been detained, these
00:07:45attacks against democracy, we will not stop there, we will be in the streets every
00:07:49hour, every minute and every
00:07:51second.
00:07:54We want to tell this government that students and young people will stand firm
00:07:57until Gaanege Kumar resigns.
00:08:01For several weeks, the CJP, the Kafar People's Party, has been leading the
00:08:04revolt jointly with the opposition Indian Congress
00:08:07Party. It challenges the recent revision of the electoral
00:08:11rolls, officially aimed at removing duplicates and
00:08:14fraudsters, but this reform has resulted in the deletion of
00:08:18130 million registered voters. It is accused of favoring the
00:08:21supporters of Prime Minister Narendra
00:08:24Modi.
00:08:28First health alert for Pope Francis XIV, the 71-year-old
00:08:31pontiff announced today that he would undergo surgery for a
00:08:35nodule on his lung. It was detected at a very
00:08:38early stage. The operation is scheduled for the beginning of the week at Gemily Hospital
00:08:42in Rome for a hospitalization of approximately 7 days. We find
00:08:46our correspondent in Rome Natalia
00:08:50the health of the pontiff at this
00:08:52stage?
00:08:55So, we know that it is a pulmonary
00:08:59nodule, a small mass of abnormal tissue
00:09:03in the lung. It was detected at an early
00:09:06stage, that's what the
00:09:09the Angelus, the traditional Sunday prayer
00:09:12at the Vatican and he has also
00:09:15indicated that it is a well-localized
00:09:19nodule. Specialists remind us that these are
00:09:22lesions that are regularly
00:09:26frequent, relatively frequent
00:09:29and that they are generally benign. In
00:09:32the Pope's case, it is still unknown if it is
00:09:35a tumor, it is unknown if a
00:09:39biopsy has been performed, but clearly the Pope's
00:09:42doctors deemed the situation serious enough to justify
00:09:46an operation as soon as possible to remove
00:09:49this nodule. The Vatican announced that the operation will
00:09:53take place from the beginning of next week,
00:09:57that is, from tomorrow, Monday. At the age of
00:10:0071, Pope Francis XIV is expected to remain
00:10:03hospitalized for about a week. Could this
00:10:06operation have an impact on his pontificate?
00:10:10pontificat?
00:10:13For now, the Vatican has not announced any
00:10:17change in the pontiff's agenda, but several
00:10:21important appointments are now surrounded by uncertainty.
00:10:25On Wednesday, Pope Francis XIV is notably due to close
00:10:28an important meeting organized at the Vatican for the
00:10:3210th anniversary of Amoris Laetitia, a major text by his
00:10:34predecessor Francis on the family, but
00:10:38above all, in just over three
00:10:41weeks, Pope Francis XIV is expected to fly to Latin America for an
00:10:44apostolic journey that should last 12
00:10:48days in Argentina, Uruguay, and Peru. 10 cities
00:10:52on the program, including Cusco at 3,400
00:10:55meters altitude, a particularly trying
00:10:59trip, just weeks after this
00:11:03operation. Everything will depend on the
00:11:06duration of his convalescence and the aftermath of the intervention. For
00:11:09now, the Vatican has not announced any postponement of this apostolic
00:11:13journey. Natalia Mendoza live from Rome,
00:11:17thank you very much. Now to Ceuta, this Spanish
00:11:20enclave in North Africa, where authorities dismantled this
00:11:24Sunday the... last large migrant camp. It had formed
00:11:27after an unprecedented influx of more than 7,000 people from
00:11:31Morocco at the end of July. Hundreds of people were
00:11:34evacuated 2 days before a visit by the King
00:11:37of Spain.
00:11:40A migratory crisis that is now finding its way into the campaign for the early
00:11:44general elections in Spain, they are scheduled for November 29.
00:11:47In the country, the outgoing Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who is fighting for his
00:11:51survival at the head of the government, chose to dedicate his first
00:11:55meeting to the housing issue. Marion
00:11:57Meilleur.
00:11:59As he did 3 years ago during the last elections, he returns to
00:12:03Dos Hermanas in the suburbs of Seville to launch his
00:12:06campaign.
00:12:10Pedro Sanchez, in power for 8 years, is fighting to remain at the head of the government. His
00:12:13objective is to obtain a majority in parliament to strengthen his
00:12:17policy.
00:12:34Facing him, his main rival, the leader of the Popular
00:12:38Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo. A few weeks after the
00:12:41migration crisis in Ceuta, he chooses to emphasize
00:12:46authority.
00:12:48We must protect our security, protect
00:12:51our borders, protect our rights. We must protect
00:12:55our way of life, three words: order,
00:12:59security, and prosperity, and one
00:13:02decision: serve and defend
00:13:04Spain.
00:13:07If the Popular Party and the far-right Vox party remain the
00:13:10favorites in these elections, a new face appears on the Spanish
00:13:14political chessboard, that of lawyer Miriam
00:13:17González, who is launching a centrist
00:13:19party.
00:13:25with two rigid blocs, nothing to foster
00:13:28consensus, because we risk destroying the potential of this
00:13:32country. There is still time, we know how to do
00:13:35it and we will do it.
00:13:39Meanwhile, anger is not subsiding. In the streets, thousands
00:13:42of demonstrators continue to demand better housing
00:13:46rights. To influence the debates, the main Spanish
00:13:49trade unions have called for a general strike on November 11,
00:13:53a few days before the
00:13:56election.
00:13:58That's the main news, stay with us on France 24.
00:14:15And now it's time to find a new edition of Reporter.
00:14:18Heading to a country where at least 15 to 16
00:14:22women die every day from violence related to dowry. A practice
00:14:25that has been prohibited since 1961 and which requires the bride's family to
00:14:29pay money or goods to the future husband's family.
00:14:33See Kansa Juned's report on this with
00:14:36Gabrielle Gohin.
00:14:55abroad, insurance, health and retirement, the CFE, the
00:14:59social security for expatriates,
00:15:18that evening, in the state of Bihar in India, the party was in full
00:15:22swing,
00:15:24music, dancing and more than 500 guests,
00:15:28the groom's procession had just
00:15:29arrived,
00:15:33backstage, last touches for Shivani, 30 years old, who is
00:15:36preparing to make
00:15:38her entrance.
00:15:42I'm a little nervous, but also very
00:15:44excited. In India, for many
00:15:47families, a daughter's wedding is planned from childhood, sometimes
00:15:51even before she is
00:15:52born.
00:15:55My home always talked about the day of my
00:15:57wedding.
00:16:00My parents put money aside little by
00:16:03little. It's something all
00:16:06parents do. They start buying jewelry, things
00:16:09for the future home, and other gifts for the husband's
00:16:13family.
00:16:17dowry is still very
00:16:18present.
00:16:21In the country, the wedding industry weighs 112 billion
00:16:24euros per year, but the family.
00:16:28mariée,
00:16:34For his daughter's wedding, Shivani's father paid more than...
00:16:37€25,000. He even organized the ceremony in the groom's
00:16:41home state to satisfy the in-laws. The
00:16:44wishes of the groom's family clearly take
00:16:47priority. Everything they want, it's up to the bride's family to provide
00:16:50it. From the start, the groom and his family set their
00:16:53conditions. You must do this, you must give that, and if you
00:16:57refuse, the marriage will not take place. The groom's family
00:17:00simply enjoys the party and states their demands, which you are supposed to
00:17:04meet. For many
00:17:08Indian families, a daughter's wedding is a major issue. Dowry is
00:17:12seen as compensation for the bride being taken care of by her
00:17:16husband's family.
00:17:16époux,
00:17:21But when the family can't afford it, the dream can
00:17:24quickly turn into a
00:17:25nightmare.
00:17:29When my sister was sitting in front of the altar, she was so
00:17:31happy. Just one month after his sister's wedding,
00:17:35Ami learns of her death. The conclusion was suicide,
00:17:38but for him, it was the psychological harassment from her in-laws
00:17:42that drove her to end her life. Her husband
00:17:46and her husband's sister never stopped belittling
00:17:49her for anything and
00:17:51everything. They told her, "You joined our
00:17:55family, but you brought nothing with you. You
00:17:59use our things."
00:18:02They demanded €17,000 and a
00:18:04car. My sister
00:18:08was a very strong woman. After our father's death,
00:18:12she took responsibility for our family. But during the
00:18:15last two months of her marriage,
00:18:18they even went so far as to insult our deceased
00:18:20father. The pressure and
00:18:24suffering had become unbearable for
00:18:27her. In 2024, more than
00:18:305,000 women have died in India in cases related to
00:18:33dowry. Prohibited since 1961,
00:18:37it remains deeply rooted across the country.
00:18:43India, a police station exclusively staffed by
00:18:46women receives daily complaints of dowry-related
00:18:50harassment.
00:18:53Four people for the husband's family and four for the bride. Also bring in the
00:18:56husband and wife. Commissioner Paramjit Kaur today
00:19:00receives Savita, 23, and her brother.
00:19:04The young woman accuses her in-laws of harassing her and demanding
00:19:08a €1,700 dowry. They asked
00:19:11us for televisions, we gave them three, each costing around
00:19:15€120. My mother only earns $2 a day packing cement
00:19:18boxes.
00:19:21The goal of this session is to try to reconcile the two families
00:19:25and defuse the conflict before it ends up in
00:19:28court. My father-in-law sold all the jewelry my
00:19:32family had given me, they sold everything, and they continue to
00:19:36harass us, to ask us to bring more things and even to pay to
00:19:40rebuild their house which is old, that's why they
00:19:43torture me. But for Savita's brother,
00:19:46marriage remains a sacred commitment on which rests
00:19:50the honor and reputation of the entire
00:19:52family.
00:19:54Even if I manage to find the money by taking out loans and I divorce her, we'll have to
00:19:58think about remarrying her. It could take another 5 or 10 years, by then my sister
00:20:02will have lost a lot of time, she will have to suffer stigmatization,
00:20:05humiliation, what man will want to marry her? When
00:20:16families are angry,
00:20:19the demands generally concern a car, a motorcycle
00:20:24money, and when these demands are not met,
00:20:27women often say they are victims of physical violence. It
00:20:31is difficult to eradicate something so deeply rooted in
00:20:34society, but we are doing our best to advise
00:20:38everyone who comes to us. We also try to make families understand
00:20:42that this practice is wrong. Things are changing
00:20:45slowly, but
00:20:47surely.
00:20:51The rise in dowry demands has given rise to another
00:20:55practice, "pakadua vivah", literally "marriage
00:20:58by abduction". In the state of Bihar, to escape
00:21:02financial pressure, some families prefer to take the
00:21:05initiative. They kidnap the future groom and force him to
00:21:08marry their daughters.
00:21:11This video shows a teacher who was allegedly kidnapped in
00:21:142025 and forced to marry. In
00:21:182017, more than...
00:21:20cases of this type were reported in the state of
00:21:22Bihar alone.
00:21:25Basum Vermichra is 50 years old, he himself was a victim of this
00:21:28practice, it was 36
00:21:30years ago.
00:21:33His cousin played volleyball with me, he liked
00:21:37me and decided he wanted me to marry his
00:21:39cousin. When we arrived at his parents' house, I
00:21:43understood that the wedding was going to take place.
00:21:47I already knew about this practice, so
00:21:50I told myself it's better to accept this forced marriage than to risk being
00:21:54beaten.
00:21:59Years later, he went from victim to
00:22:03organizer of pakadua vivah kidnappings.
00:22:06Today he meets two of his former
00:22:09victims.
00:22:12We formed a group of ten or twenty people.
00:22:14personnes,
00:22:46Faced with dowry, some families resort to extreme solutions, others, on the contrary, choose to fight the system within
00:22:50the law. Families come through here, in New Delhi, Deven Rajkumar
00:22:54breaks codes with his NGO Lady, he organizes a large
00:22:57free ceremony to marry several dozen couples without cost
00:23:01to the families. Here, the future spouses are selected, the
00:23:05in-laws interviewed, and one rule is absolute: no
00:23:08dowry. To put an end to dowry, we must develop these collective
00:23:12marriages. Initiatives like these also promote harmony within the
00:23:15community, when people come together they can.

00:23:24Three years after losing her father, Bina says
00:23:27she is lucky to be among the 51 brides who are celebrating
00:23:30their union tonight.
00:23:31soir,
00:23:35Where I come from, people openly say, "I want so much money, I want
00:23:39this, I want that." These demands are not
00:23:43hidden.
00:23:45One of my cousins got married and my uncles gave far more than they could
00:23:49afford.
00:24:21teaching them a trade and new skills is the first step
00:24:24towards greater financial
00:24:25independence.
00:24:28We teach them digital marketing.
00:24:32By mastering these skills, they
00:24:35will be able to use them to earn their own
00:24:37money.
00:24:40If we give women this form of autonomy when they
00:24:44start earning a living, they will also
00:24:47be able to make their voices heard and defend
00:25:21At one of New Delhi's largest universities, Nafia questions
00:25:25the foundations of the dowry system. At
00:25:2826, she is of marriageable age, so her parents
00:25:31have started looking for a suitor for her. Last
00:25:34year, she refused one of them, precisely because the young
00:25:38money.
00:25:42I consider them beggars. How
00:25:45can you expect someone to offer you a €26,000 car when
00:25:49you earn less than €400 a month?
00:25:53I think that men or the families of future grooms consider that they are
00:25:56entitled to it, regardless of whether it's called a dowry or a gift, they
00:25:59believe that everything their son has obtained, his
00:26:02diploma, his social status, his
00:26:05position determines his financial value, and
00:26:09that they are therefore entitled to ask for whatever they
00:26:11want.
00:26:15Nafia and her friends believe that dowry remains deeply rooted in
00:26:19all layers of Indian society, regardless of economic
00:26:22background, caste or religion, a reality
00:26:26that pushes them to question the very institution of marriage in
00:26:29India.
00:26:32Even when a woman is educated and financially independent, she
00:26:36remains connected to her family and her entourage. It is
00:26:39this social structure that prevents her from making her own
00:26:42decisions. When she tries to do so, things can quickly
00:26:46escalate.
00:26:50I don't understand and it really makes me angry. For me, marriage and
00:26:54relationships should be based on love, empathy, kindness,
00:26:57not reduced to mere financial
00:26:59transactions.
00:27:02women have not given up on marriage, but they know that a
00:27:05profound change in a society that is still largely
00:27:08patriarchal will not happen overnight.
