00:00:07It's 8 PM here in Paris, good evening everyone and welcome if you're joining us on France
00:00:1124, you're still at the heart of the news, we'll be together until
00:00:15continue because of 9 PM Paris time. Here are the main headlines for this
00:00:17Sunday: Raphaël Glucksmann, the clear winner of the
00:00:20social democratic left primary with over
00:00:2466% of the votes, will therefore
00:00:26you everywhere in the world and at all hours of be the sole PS candidate for Place Publique in the 2027
00:00:29presidential election, and this is a real setback for the first secretary
00:00:33of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faure, who came in second with only 14%
00:00:37of the votes. Raphaël
00:00:40Houthis, sworn enemies of Glucksmann calls for unity to defeat the far right. "The battle for
00:00:44France begins so that the republic stands tall," he
00:00:47hammered. Ukraine says it awaits details from
00:00:51Washington after Donald Trump's announcement of
00:00:54between Kyiv and Moscow, of which Volodymyr Zelensky says he was not
00:00:58informed beforehand.
00:01:00The Ukrainian president, however, said he was willing, but we are still
00:01:04awaiting a reaction from Russia. We will talk about it in the
00:01:08pregnancy. The theme of the decoding of the heart of the news with Gauthier
00:01:10Rebinski.
00:01:12And a cascade of condemnations this Sunday after yesterday's attack against Riyadh airport
00:01:17Until now, the United States, a great ally of in Saudi Arabia, which left at least 12 dead and 309 injured, the
00:01:20deadliest in over 10 years in the kingdom, attributed
00:01:24to Houthi rebels from Yemen who apparently carried out a
00:01:27new attack on the same airport this
00:01:30Sunday.
00:01:33Also to follow, the guest of the heart of the news tonight, Lucie de
00:01:36Chiffre, program director of the NGO Plan International,
00:01:39committed to children's rights and to gender equality,
00:01:43on the occasion of the International Day of the
00:01:46Girl, which is this Sunday, a day that highlights the particular obstacles
00:01:49they face: lack of schooling,
00:01:52sexual violence, FGM, or early pregnancy. We
00:01:56will talk in particular about this year's theme:
00:02:00child marriage. Interview to follow in about fifteen minutes. Before that, right
00:02:04after this, the news.
00:02:17Raphaël Glucksmann, the clear winner of the social-democratic left primary
00:02:21with 66.13%
00:02:24of the votes. He will therefore be the sole PS candidate
00:02:27for Place Publique for the 2027 presidential election. 12,000
00:02:31voters participated in this election, the outcome of which is a real
00:02:34disavowal for the first secretary of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faure, who only received
00:02:3814% of the votes. 7.62% for the former
00:02:41presidential candidate and former minister Ségolène Royal.
00:02:46Kumar, in the face of security 5.92% for Emmanuel Morel, deputy of the republican and socialist left. And then
00:02:505.83% for deputy
00:02:52Jérôme Guedj. Raphaël Glucksmann, whom you see here
00:02:56in the image shortly after his victory, called for unity and to defeat
00:03:00the far right. He warns, "The upcoming election is the most important in the
00:03:04Fifth Republic." We're going to listen to him, followed by Ségolène Royal
00:03:08and Olivier Faure.
00:03:10Democracy has spoken and the result is undeniable. I am
00:03:14therefore this evening the candidate of the democratic
00:03:18left for the presidential election of
00:03:21every day of the 2027.
00:03:26I will therefore be in this campaign the candidate
00:03:31for social and fiscal justice, for the ecological
00:03:34revolution, and for
00:03:38inhabitants. democracy. The candidate for a break with
00:03:42changes, five years of drought. Macronism, the candidate for a break with
00:03:45Jean-Luc Mélenchon's hegemony over the French left. The
00:03:49candidate who will be able to defeat our
00:03:52eternal enemy, the far right.
00:03:57they will immediately tell you about No, Madame
00:03:58could affect parts of
00:03:58Volodymyr Zelensky clearly Le Pen will not be in the Élysée in May
00:04:002027.
00:04:03We are always disappointed, but I have no
00:04:05to see us in the heart regrets because I believe I made a strong voice heard, a woman's
00:04:09voice, uh, a different conception of
00:04:12the exercise of power, a
00:04:14is already suffering the first consequences of desire to unite the left, a socialist path. I wish him all the
00:04:18strength to achieve this unity on the left which will be
00:04:21difficult. I will help with this unity on the
00:04:24left with all my strength because it's the
00:04:28first time that the PS. It doesn't have a candidate as
00:04:32decrease in international funding, in such, even if it's a primary that included the PS. It's the first time
00:04:37again, I'm thinking of the end of since the PS existed that there isn't a PS-stamped candidate
00:04:40as such. You regret it. And so it's a
00:04:43fact. And
00:04:46in international funding has so I think we need to compensate for that by really uniting the left.
00:04:50Glucksmann, you managed to convince a majority of
00:04:53voters and I respect the democratic
00:04:57process of the primary, which I wanted, too much to
00:05:00not accept it with
00:05:03wisdom. I thank all the
00:05:06candidates, Ségolène Royal, Emmanuel Morel, Jérôme
00:05:09Guedj, who in this exercise all
00:05:12allowed a debate that I believe was enlightening
00:05:16and a debate that also allowed to show what the
00:05:19democratic left knows how to do, both
00:05:23confrontation and mutual respect. So,
00:05:26we now have a candidate, it's up to all of us to forge
00:05:30together this spirit of victory. Thank you also to
00:05:33Donald Trump, who announced an energy ceasefire in the war in Ukraine, calling on
00:05:37Moscow and Kyiv to immediately cease their strikes on their
00:05:40respective energy infrastructures.
00:05:43No further details have been given in the context of this announcement made on his Truth
00:05:47Social network. Volodymyr Zelensky says he was not informed
00:05:50before the announcement, but says he is willing to accept this
00:05:54agreement. Details from Kyiv from our correspondent Gulli
00:05:56Vercrag.
00:06:02Volodymyr Zelensky said he was absolutely unaware of a
00:06:06ceasefire when Donald Trump announced it on his
00:06:10social network Truth Social. Ukraine
00:06:13quickly reiterated what it has already said many times, namely
00:06:16that it is absolutely ready to stop
00:06:19bombing refineries and ports in Russia if
00:06:23Russia stops bombing the Ukrainian power
00:06:27grid, but here we have the impression of witnessing a
00:06:30repeat of what happened on September
00:06:3414th in almost exactly the same way when Donald Trump
00:06:37announced on Truth Social that there was a ceasefire
00:06:40between Russia and
00:06:44energy targets, and quickly both countries made
00:06:47it known that in fact it was nothing of the sort.
00:06:50Of course, the terms of a ceasefire would need to be defined, uh, that there be a
00:06:54mechanism to verify if the ceasefire is
00:06:57respected, there are still details that need to be
00:07:01worked out, and that was precisely why
00:07:04Volodymyr Zelensky's team was in Miami to
00:07:08discuss with Donald Trump's representatives, Jared Kushner and Steve
00:07:11Witkov, uh, to try to propose something to the Russians, uh,
00:07:15to move towards a ceasefire on energy targets, because that's something
00:07:19Ukraine desperately needs, despite the anger in this country
00:07:23uh, towards Donald Trump who demands that Ukraine stop bombing uh, the
00:07:27refineries, despite the pride of Ukrainians for these bombings and the
00:07:30feeling that it still has an effect on the Russian economy, uh,
00:07:34the detrimental effect on the Ukrainian economy and on life in Ukraine of the
00:07:38bombings uh, of energy targets in Ukraine is much more significant. Large
00:07:41parts of are currently without electricity, some
00:07:45districts of the capital, like the one where I am right now, are without running
00:07:49water, so it's extremely serious and Ukraine would really like there
00:07:52to be this ceasefire, but they have the impression that Donald Trump, by
00:07:56concluding an agreement to buy Russian diesel without getting a promise
00:08:00of a ceasefire from Vladimir Putin, has in fact acted completely against
00:08:03the efforts that were underway to uh, put in
00:08:07place a ceasefire, uh, since Vladimir Putin doesn't
00:08:10really have any motivation. So perhaps, if we want to be very
00:08:14optimistic, we could think that Donald Trump understood that he had made a mistake and
00:08:17that we must try to convince the Russians to agree
00:08:21to this ceasefire, and that he is therefore trying again
00:08:24with exactly the same tactic that didn't work in September, to force the hand
00:08:28of both parties so that this ceasefire is finally put
00:08:32in place, but there isn't much hope here that it will happen
00:08:36that way, even less so because of these words
00:08:39that were exchanged via
00:08:42social media, especially, and then after that, with this statement to a
00:08:46Ukrainian journalist made by Donald Trump in Washington.
00:08:50Clearly a lot of anger between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, not
00:08:53much goodwill, and even if it's not an
00:08:57official US policy that was announced
00:09:00officially, it was a response to a journalist's question, but the
00:09:03fact that Donald Trump said that Ukrainians should choose a
00:09:07new president or replace
00:09:10has the opposite effect. In Ukraine, there is anger against
00:09:14this American interference, and there is defense
00:09:17of Volodymyr Zelensky, even if theoretically, if there
00:09:21were an election, which most Ukrainians consider
00:09:24impossible with the war continuing to rage, most
00:09:28Ukrainians would wish that Volodymyr Zelensky not run, but in this situation, they
00:09:32are ready to defend him, and know that Volodymyr Zelensky indicates tonight that
00:09:36Russia has struck energy facilities in
00:09:39Ukraine after the announcement by Donald Trump of this
00:09:43energy ceasefire. Also in the news, Riyadh
00:09:47International Airport in Saudi Arabia, once again targeted
00:09:50this Sunday. Several people are reported injured.
00:09:54Yesterday's attack was already particularly deadly, at least 12
00:09:57dead and 309 injured. An attack attributed to Houthi rebels from
00:10:00Yemen who renewed their threats against Riyadh.
00:10:04A cascade of reactions on this subject this Sunday
00:10:07to condemn this attack. The report with Luc
00:10:10Lacroix.
00:10:13Panic yesterday afternoon at Riyadh airport in
00:10:16Saudi Arabia. It had just been
00:10:19hit.
00:10:21Only a few images leaked, but a passenger recounts the panic.
00:10:25"I saw injured people, everyone was running." 12 dead, including
00:10:288 foreigners, over 300 injured. It's
00:10:32the deadliest attack in Saudi Arabia since 2015.
00:10:36Faced with such a toll, even local television, usually very
00:10:40discreet when the country is targeted, was forced to mention it.
00:10:43Riyadh airport was attacked Saturday afternoon in a context
00:10:47of flagrant attacks targeting the kingdom's civilian
00:10:51air infrastructure.
00:10:53This same airport had already been targeted earlier
00:10:57in the week on several occasions. Six
00:11:00dead. These previous attacks had been claimed by the
00:11:05Saudi Arabia. They are
00:11:08supported by Iran and control in Yemen this red zone which includes
00:11:12the capital, Sana'a.
00:11:15The important thing for the Houthis today is to show that they have a capacity for
00:11:19nuisance, but to allow them to return to the negotiating table. That's what's
00:11:23important for them, not to enter.
00:11:26For now, the Houthis have not claimed the latest attack, but this
00:11:30morning they are threatening and advising against using Saudi
00:11:34airports and airspace, as these are
00:11:37likely to be targeted.
00:11:42Saudi Arabia, has refused to get militarily involved, but among the
00:11:46victims, there's an American, and last
00:11:49night, Donald Trump described the attack against Riyadh airport as
00:11:52"unacceptable."
00:11:55In India, now, the release of the leaders of the "Idée Cafards" movement, by
00:11:59court order and after 24 hours of detention. They had been
00:12:02arrested yesterday shortly before a large demonstration in New Delhi which aimed
00:12:06to demand the resignation of the president of the electoral commission. Thousands
00:12:10of other people had also been arrested. As soon as he was released from prison,
00:12:13the founder of the movement violently attacked Narendra Modi on social
00:12:17media. Another leader of the movement launched a new
00:12:20call to demonstrate. Axel Simon.
00:12:25With fists raised in a sign of victory, the three leaders of the
00:12:29"Cafards" movement regained their freedom this Sunday, the day after their
00:12:33arrest in New Delhi.
00:12:37is the biggest coward this country has ever known.
00:12:40The three leaders of the protest movement had been arrested even before
00:12:44they got off the plane, on the grounds that the demonstration they
00:12:47had called for on Saturday had not been authorized, which did not
00:12:51prevent many demonstrators from gathering and being arrested
00:12:55by the police, who made over 2000 arrests on
00:12:58Saturday. And while the leaders of the movement called for
00:13:02the protest to continue on Sunday, the
00:13:05gathered protesters continue to demand the resignation of the president of the electoral
00:13:08commission, Gyanesh
00:13:11forces deployed massively in the streets of the capital, who
00:13:15once again carried out numerous arrests.
00:13:17This dictatorship will not
00:13:21work. The way our people and our students have been detained, these
00:13:25attacks on democracy, we are not going to stop there. We will be in the streets every
00:13:29hour, every minute and every
00:13:30second.
00:13:33We want to tell this government that students and young people will stand firm
00:13:37until Gyanesh Kumar resigns.
00:13:40For several weeks, the CJP, the Cafars People's Party, has been leading
00:13:44the protest jointly with the Indian Congress opposition
00:13:47party. It disputes the recent revision of electoral
00:13:50lists, officially aimed at removing duplicates
00:13:53and fraudsters. But this reform has resulted in the
00:13:57removal of 130 million registered voters. It is accused of
00:14:00favoring supporters of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's
00:14:04party.
00:14:07Mexico is still anxiously awaiting the arrival of Hurricane
00:14:10Simon, which has strengthened even further, now classified as a Category
00:14:144/5 storm. The accompanying winds could reach up to
00:14:17250 km/h. Particularly heavy rainfall
00:14:23western and central Mexico. Simon is partly the
00:14:26result of the warming of Pacific waters due to the El
00:14:30Niño phenomenon,
00:14:31says Tanashi.
00:14:35The city of Acapulco
00:14:39Hurricane Simon. Here, a landslide on this
00:14:43hill. A little further on, a house has collapsed near
00:14:47a canal. The powerful hurricane is expected to move along
00:14:51the coast of central-western Mexico this Sunday. Its arrival in...
00:15:25The authorities have declared a state of maximum alert in several localities in
00:15:29this state. Here, to protect their
00:15:32establishments, shopkeepers have placed sandbags at the entrance and
00:15:36barricaded the doors.
00:16:07a hundred people from localities located along the country's
00:16:11west coast. Simon is the latest hurricane to date in the
00:16:14Pacific, whose waters have warmed due to the
00:16:18El Niño climate phenomenon, which leads to more powerful
00:16:22hurricanes. And that's it for the main news
00:16:25of this Sunday. Now, let's move on to the guest of the heart of the news.
00:16:29International Day of the Girl this Sunday, October
00:16:3211th, established by the UN in 2011 to recognize girls'
00:16:36rights and highlight the particular obstacles they face:
00:16:39lack of schooling, sexual
00:16:42violence, FGM, or early
00:16:452026 edition is a call to end child marriage,
00:16:49which affects over 12 million girls each year. We will
00:16:53therefore talk about it tonight with our guest Lucie de Chiffres. Good evening. You
00:16:56are Director of Programs and Strategic Partnerships for
00:17:00the NGO Plan International, which has been committed since 1937 to
00:17:04children's rights and to gender equality. Thank you very much
00:17:07for accepting our invitation tonight uh in "Au coeur de l'info".
00:17:10So, as I was saying, this terrible figure: 12 million girls forced
00:17:14into marriage each year. What are the socio-economic
00:17:17reasons, if I may say so, for this phenomenon? Well,
00:17:20girl marriage has several causes.
00:17:24In fact, it's often a question of
00:17:26family income because in many contexts, it is
00:17:30considered that girls can be
00:17:33married, and that this can lead to...
00:17:37one less mouth to feed in the family. And also, in many
00:17:41countries, there is the dowry system, which makes it a
00:17:44survival strategy, unfortunately, for the family. How has
00:17:48this figure evolved in recent years? Well, there
00:17:52have been improvements. If we look 30 years back, one
00:17:56in four girls was forced into marriage before the age of 18.
00:18:00Today, it has been reduced to one in five, but these are obviously
00:18:03far too slow and insufficient
00:18:06improvements. Uh, and today the situation remains
00:18:10extremely worrying. Sub-Saharan Africa is
00:18:13particularly affected? Yes, Sub-Saharan Africa
00:18:16is indeed, but also Asia uh is particularly affected
00:18:20and in fact we see this phenomenon on all continents and what worries us
00:18:24particularly is that this phenomenon is accelerated uh by
00:18:28crises, conflicts and notably the effects of climate change. So
00:18:31it promotes these early marriages, wars,
00:18:35conflicts that are multiplying, yes. Absolutely, in
00:18:38fact, we see that crises,
00:18:41conflicts, the effects of climate
00:18:44change have an effect on family
00:18:48incomes, which means that, in particular, we
00:18:51see it, for example, in Sudan, which has been experiencing a full-blown
00:18:55war for several years now, there is a
00:18:58family survival strategy of marrying girls off early,
00:19:01and a study this year on the
00:19:05effects of climate change on girls' lives was conducted, and we see
00:19:09very clearly that climate change has effects and
00:19:12accelerates early marriages.
00:19:15These forced marriages are synonymous with a
00:19:18loss of control over their lives and their future for
00:19:22these young girls, exactly. In fact, child marriages
00:19:26are a violation of the fundamental rights of the child on the one
00:19:29hand, but they are also violence in themselves. And what we
00:19:33observe is that these forced marriages have
00:19:36consequences on access to schooling,
00:19:40they also often lead to early pregnancies which
00:19:44endanger the health of both mother and child, and there are also
00:19:46repercussions for an entire life in terms of
00:19:50mental health and well-being of
00:19:53women, and it also means that they very often have less access to
00:19:57economic opportunities, so it's a child
00:20:01marriage that deprives this
00:20:03person of all their rights throughout their life. What has
00:20:06been the impact of the
00:20:10official development assistance, including here in France, or
00:20:14USAID, on the fight for girls'
00:20:18rights around the world? The drastic decrease
00:20:24clearly had an effect on girls' rights, particularly on
00:20:27access to sexual and reproductive health and rights. We
00:20:31see much less access to contraception, the right to abortion is
00:20:34also being questioned in many contexts. And
00:20:38there are also fewer funding opportunities to promote access to
00:20:41education. Uh, in France, as you said, uh, there have been drastic
00:20:45cuts in official development assistance, and this year again, uh, there is a risk
00:20:49of... there is a risk of further cuts. For example, at Plan
00:20:52International France, we were running a project to allow children
00:20:56who had dropped out of school in northern Benin to
00:21:00return to school. This project could not
00:21:05the decrease in official development assistance. We are
00:21:08appealing to the generosity of our donors and patrons to be able to continue.
00:21:12We have managed to maintain uh activities but never
00:21:15to compensate for public aid. Development really allows
00:21:19for large-scale programs with
00:21:23large-scale effects
00:21:26as well. We still manage to help
00:21:29hundreds of children get an education, but the needs are
00:21:33immense. Hm, you mentioned your
00:21:36work in Benin, what other concrete
00:21:40example, I'm thinking in particular of the "Oser" program in
00:21:44Senegal and Togo, for vocational training. You also
00:21:47have this "Alpha" program in Benin for school dropouts. Is it a comprehensive,
00:21:51multifaceted approach that is
00:21:54necessary to truly promote
00:21:57gender equality? Exactly. Plan
00:22:00International France has a dual mandate. We provide
00:22:03humanitarian assistance in crisis and conflict situations, and there too
00:22:07it's a truly comprehensive response that is necessary to
00:22:10help with immediate livelihoods but
00:22:14also with protection and prevention of
00:22:17violence. And in development contexts, we indeed try
00:22:21to tackle all the causes of violations of girls'
00:22:24rights, so access to schooling, but also access to
00:22:28sexual and reproductive health and rights, but also
00:22:31protection against violence. And an extremely important point is also to promote
00:22:35the participation of young people in decisions that concern
00:22:37them. You just mentioned sexual and reproductive health
00:22:41rights, which is one of your NGO's
00:22:44priorities. There too, I wanted to
00:22:47primarily mention Africa. A lot of backsliding
00:22:51in this regard in countries like Mali, for example. Yes, indeed,
00:22:55recently there have been campaigns on social media
00:22:58calling for FGM, and we
00:23:01see that anti-rights, anti-choice
00:23:04movements are gaining new momentum in many
00:23:08contexts, and that has very real effects on girls'
00:23:11access to sexual and reproductive
00:23:14health, but it's also true of misinformation on this
00:23:18subject, yes, absolutely. Misinformation is one of the
00:23:21vectors that threatens the rights of
00:23:24girls and adolescents. But we also see it
00:23:27on all continents, and again, the effects of crises and
00:23:31particularly particularly affect
00:23:34access to sexual and reproductive health as well.
00:23:38We're talking about Africa, Asia, but Western countries are not spared from
00:23:41some of these scourges. There's
00:23:44among other things the rise of masculinism and discourses
00:23:48that deny certain women's rights.
00:23:50And therefore also girls' rights. Do you also
00:23:54fight against this kind of discourse? Yes, exactly,
00:23:57and it's very important on the occasion of October which is the
00:24:01International Day of Girls' Rights, as you mentioned, it's really important
00:24:04to alert about these setbacks in girls' rights, and this is our
00:24:08fight, our daily fight,
00:24:11year, but it's true that this day allows us to highlight
00:24:14the threats to girls' rights, and it's also an opportunity
00:24:18for girls themselves to express themselves, to proudly
00:24:21advocate for their fight to defend their rights.
00:24:25Several personalities are campaigning for this day, which
00:24:28is officially called the International Day of the Girl, to become the
00:24:32International Day of Girls' Rights, that would be
00:24:35symbolically important for you too. Yes, absolutely, and if you
00:24:39ask girls, young women,
00:24:41teenagers, why this day is so important,
00:24:47the importance of their rights and of...
00:24:52Thank you very much, Lucide Chifre, for coming
00:24:55of the news on the occasion of this International
00:24:58Day of the Girl, perhaps soon the International Day of Girls'
00:25:02Rights, thank you again, this interview can be found on our website and our
00:25:06social networks, stay with us on France 24, next update on the news
00:25:10in a few
00:25:10minutes.
00:29:34It's difficult to imagine the extent of the devastation of this city of 200,000
00:29:40This people suffer from climate
00:30:00However, they fear that their fate will be.
00:30:07It's 8:30 PM here in Paris. Good evening everyone and welcome if you're joining us for
00:30:10the rest of "Au Cœur de l'Info". Here are the main headlines for this Sunday: Raphael
00:30:14Glucksmann, winner of the social democratic left primary
00:30:18with more than 66% of the votes, he
00:30:21will therefore be the sole PS Public Square candidate for the 2027
00:30:25presidential election, a real setback for the first secretary of the Socialist
00:30:28Party, Olivier Faure, who came in 2nd position with only 14%
00:30:32of the votes. Raphael Glucksmann calls for
00:30:35unity to defeat the far right. "The battle for France begins,"
00:30:39he says, "so that the Republic stands
00:30:41tall."
00:30:44Ukraine says it's awaiting details from Washington after Donald Trump's announcement of a
00:30:47ceasefire on energy between Kyiv and Moscow. Volodymyr
00:30:51Zelensky says he was not informed beforehand, but he is
00:30:54willing. We are still awaiting a reaction from
00:30:58Russia, which.
