00:00:00Leonna, to be seen on France 24 and our social
00:00:03networks,
00:00:07it's 9 PM in Paris, good evening everyone, in the weekend's essential news, Raphael
00:00:11Glucksmann's victory in France in the first round of the left-wing primary, he won with
00:00:1566% of the votes, he wants to be the candidate who can beat
00:00:19the far-right, we'll talk about it in a few minutes with our guests in
00:00:22the 2027 presidential election program.
00:00:25Also making headlines, an energetic ceasefire concluded between Russia and
00:00:29Ukraine, at least according to Donald Trump. The American president assures that Kyiv and
00:00:32Moscow will no longer target their respective energy
00:00:35infrastructures. Vladimir Zelensky, however, announced that he was not
00:00:39aware of it. Finally, Riyadh's international airport was targeted again
00:00:43by an attack this Sunday. Several people were injured. A little earlier in the day,
00:00:46the Yemeni tools had claimed the strike that killed at least 12 people
00:00:53law enforcement, but since then we have the yesterday. At 9:30 PM, don't miss the sports news either, an interview this evening
00:00:57with French driver Paul. He will
00:01:01talk about his discipline and the NASCAR Euro Series European Championship which ends next weekend.
00:01:20The Socialist Party therefore has its official candidate for 2027, it is
00:01:23MEP Raphael Glucksmann. He won this Sunday the left-wing primary
00:01:27in the first round. I am the... candidate of the
00:01:30democratic left who can beat the far right, he said,
00:01:34Lucas, Jocelyn Debrou and Tristan
00:01:37Lebras. It's a little after
00:01:406 PM,
00:01:42Raphael Glucksmann has just learned that he has won the primary in the first
00:01:46round.
00:01:49A few moments later, he makes a triumphant arrival at the primary headquarters
00:01:52to the cheers of the
00:01:56de-escalation to spare the energy activists.
00:02:026% of the 12,000 voters chose him, he is now officially the candidate of the social-democratic camp in
00:02:06the presidential election,
00:02:10tonight the battle for France
00:02:13begins, I will therefore be in this campaign,
00:02:17the candidate of the break with Macronism, the
00:02:20candidate of the break with Jean-Luc
00:02:24Mélenchon's hegemony over the French left, for the
00:02:26activists, we must savor the victory and especially now
00:02:30turn the page on this primary, there were
00:02:33blows, it's clear, given by everyone, by Raphael Glucksmann too, it must be
00:02:37said, it's true, but after we must, we must unite, I am
00:02:40extremely happy, extremely proud that the socialist family can
00:02:44unite this evening around a candidacy and especially a very, very clear victory.
00:02:48Coming in second, Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the Socialist
00:02:51Party, only garnered a little over 14% of the votes.
00:02:55Tonight, he commits to supporting the
00:02:57winner.
00:03:01you managed to convince a majority of
00:03:05voters and I respect the democratic process of the primary that I
00:03:09wanted too much not to accept it with
00:03:11wisdom, she dreamed of creating a surprise but she finally
00:03:15finished 3rd with 7.6 %. Ségolène Royal
00:03:19will also rally behind Raphael Glucksmann despite an assumed
00:03:23disappointment. The intern won the primary, yeah,
00:03:26unfortunately, you still acknowledge this result, of course I congratulate. the
00:03:30winner, it's, it's, it's the tradition and Raphael Glucksmann's
00:03:34campaign begins tonight.
00:03:36And to comment on this victory of Raphael
00:03:40Glucksmann, two guests at my side in Presidential
00:03:43local television is obliged 2027.
00:03:50Émilie Zapalski is with us, good evening, you are an editorialist and
00:03:53political communicator, you have just released a new podcast entitled
00:03:56"By Women". Noé Gérardo Champesor is
00:03:59also with us, good evening, you are an associate expert at the Jean
00:04:03Jaurès Foundation and I quote the title of your latest book which is entitled
00:04:06"Organize the Victory from the Grassroots to the Majority,
00:04:09How the Left Could Win", you will
00:04:12enlighten us on this tonight. A first reaction to start with this
00:04:16victory of Raphael Glucksmann, we knew Émilie that he was the favorite, perhaps
00:04:19we did not expect him to win in the first
00:04:23cynical. The question of round? Yes, I think the score he obtained is quite significant, it puts an end to discussions and we
00:04:27saw it well in the speeches and we just heard it especially. Olivier
00:04:30Faure is, I think, very disappointed by his 14% him.
00:04:34Uh, yes, Raphael Glucksmann, that's it, he's the candidate.
00:04:37Now we'll see how the union is formed because even if his score
00:04:41means he's the official candidate for this primary, it will be necessary to see how
00:04:44everyone truly plays with him
00:04:48and how he tries to unite a little more
00:04:52beyond that in order to truly matter, because if he
00:04:55States, a major ally of says "yes, I am the candidate" and that he will fight against the far right, for
00:04:58now it's not so clear. You evoke his score, it's 66%, but we
00:05:02are talking about 12,000 voters in this primary, does that make him a
00:05:06legitimate candidate to represent the non-Mélenchonist
00:05:09left? He is the candidate who won the primary, so he is legitimate
00:05:12for that space, he makes for an extremely clear candidate, so he is the candidate of
00:05:15social democracy and that clarifies the political chessboard considerably. Now
00:05:19let's see what the reactions will be with Gabriel Attal on the one hand
00:05:22and the rest of the left, the communists or the ecologists.
00:05:26Marine Tondelier had a rather fresh reaction to her
00:05:29victory, disappointed, quite disappointed, so we will see now what will happen
00:05:33on the left. The challenge for the left today is to broaden its electoral base, as it has 30
00:05:3635% of the votes, we are still far from reaching 50% plus one vote to
00:05:40win the presidential election, for now? The first reactions, as we saw,
00:05:44from the other candidates in this primary, suggest that they will support him,
00:05:48Olivier Faure, at least, Ségolène Royal, we know that the
00:05:51tensions were particularly strong during the debates, we could
00:05:55see it and we still hear Ségolène Royal calling him an
00:05:58intern, can he really, and that's the question, create
00:06:02a real dynamic around him? So there are two questions in your question because he
00:06:06has both the support, so it's true that there were strong disputes
00:06:09for those who were able to watch the three debates.
00:06:13It was even quite discouraging because it wasn't very interesting
00:06:17and notably Ségolène Royal was very hard on him, she
00:06:20played all her cards, I think she was very disappointed by her score and at first she didn't mention his
00:06:24name, we felt that there was still a kind of bitterness, I think she wanted to be
00:06:28second, she wanted to make her mark, but they all
00:06:31said they would stand behind him, so that's okay, but
00:06:34then it's up to him to know how he can gather
00:06:38more beyond that. He still has an absence there that we don't talk about which is quite
00:06:42important, it's François Hollande who for now has not participated in the
00:06:45primary, he remains a little ambushed, thinking that if things don't go very well for
00:06:49Glucksmann, maybe I can be the
00:06:52recourse, so, is he not also the big loser tonight
00:06:56besides Olivier Faure? He
00:06:58hoped to be the recourse. 66% of the lessons, it's
00:07:02becoming clear, that's it, it's a clear line for the left, for the
00:07:06left-wing candidate, it's certain that we can't, we can't
00:07:09imagine that we would choose another candidate. At some point
00:07:13if Glucksmann disappoints, if Glucksmann is not up to the task
00:07:17or if he doesn't score enough points, okay, but it's
00:07:21true that he's the legitimate candidate of this left
00:07:24for now, yes, it's very clear and now the challenge is to move beyond these
00:07:27divergences and disagreements to show that it's not a political shipwreck but
00:07:31that it's a launchpad for the presidential election and ultimately that's the point of a
00:07:35primary, it's the ability to broaden the base, to create a dynamic, and
00:07:39to start putting forward a political vision and in fact there weren't many divergences in the debates,
00:07:42maybe that's what can strike us, it's that fundamentally they had
00:07:46a global agreement on the assessment of the state
00:07:49of the country, on what is wrong today and they are trying to start pushing first
00:07:53proposals and it was good to finally talk about the substance,
00:07:57to push that forward and I think that's still something to applaud given the current debate. I still think the
00:08:01divergence was on Jean-Luc Mélenchon, whether we should approach
00:08:04him, whether, and that ultimately clarified
00:08:08the really real victory of Raphael Glucksmann
00:08:11shows that this is social democracy, as you said,
00:08:14truly moving away from
00:08:17the far left. Let's listen to Raphael Glucksmann on this subject, he spoke
00:08:21tonight on France 2's 8 PM news and he always advocates
00:08:25a clear break with "La France Insoumise" and he talks tonight
00:08:29about his victory, let's listen. It's the
00:08:32victory of all those who believe that we need a democratic left in
00:08:36our country, that the left must break with
00:08:39Jean-Luc Mélenchon's hegemony over it,
00:08:42it must propose a project that strengthens the Republic, that strengthens
00:08:46democracy, that strengthens social justice, that strengthens
00:08:50the ecological imperative. You know, I am convinced that there are
00:08:53millions of French women and men who are waiting for this moment, who
00:08:56are waiting to be able to vote, without sacrificing a part of themselves,
00:09:00without telling themselves that they are simply voting against, but that they are voting for what they
00:09:04believe in, for what constitutes their political identity. I am addressing
00:09:07them, your time has come, this election will be our
00:09:10election, that's what it's about. He won tonight, Raphael
00:09:14Glucksmann, on his opposition to Jean-Luc Mélenchon, partly,
00:09:17it clarified a line. He also won because
00:09:20he was the only one of the candidates presented who was over 10% in the
00:09:24polls and then remember, he also spearheaded mobilizations at other
00:09:28times, we can recall his fight on the duty of vigilance and the Uyghurs, he had
00:09:32indeed received something very strong by mobilizing young people on social
00:09:35networks against their favorite brands for something
00:09:38extremely serious happening on the other side of the world, so he had managed to create that. The question now is
00:09:42whether he will be able to recreate momentum and put forward a
00:09:46vision and we will see what happens in the campaign, for now it's less clear. He
00:09:49presents himself as the candidate of the democratic left, I quote, who can beat the far
00:09:53right, but for now he is far from reaching the second round
00:09:57according to the polls, that's far from the case, while the far right is.
00:10:00Uh, you who wrote
00:10:04about the victory of the left, what are the main obstacles
00:10:07precisely to this access to the second round? Well, I
00:10:11think the term democratic is questionable, I don't know exactly what it
00:10:15means and besides, what makes the left win and what makes a political
00:10:18movement win is a vision, it's what we propose to change the
00:10:22country and so it's the ability at some point for a candidate
00:10:25to respond to a social expectation and to embody it and that's what we see in many movements, there's a very
00:10:29interesting movement happening today in Serbia for example, a high school
00:10:33student movement that has been mobilizing for 2 years that has created a citizen's movement that is at 44% in the
00:10:37polls, they managed to create that, they managed to create something that tells
00:10:40the future of the country, today it won't be enough to just explain that we are against the far
00:10:44right, we will have to explain what we are going to change in the lives of the French and I think that is the absolute
00:10:48urgency to be credible and to progress in the polls on his program, what does
00:10:52Raphael Glucksmann propose today? You say the... but I'm
00:10:55sorry, I have nothing against the Uyghurs, but it's a bit far from us and it's true that
00:10:59Raphael Glucksmann, apart from Brussels and international affairs, we know
00:11:02that he has really taken a stand on them, he is an
00:11:06MEP, but he is very far from French concerns
00:11:09and concrete issues of purchasing power, so it will be complicated and
00:11:13we haven't heard whatever directions we would take
00:11:16apart from whether or not we move away from Jean-Luc
00:11:19Mélenchon and on the other hand Jean-Luc Mélenchon, you said he needs a vision, what about
00:11:23Jean-Luc Mélenchon? They worked. on the LFI side, they have a vision, they have a strategy,
00:11:27they have an electoral tactic that works, they attract young people in particular, they
00:11:30talk about ecology, they talk about many subjects that interest young people and they are creating
00:11:34a groundswell, in fact it started with the municipal elections, Jean-Luc Mélenchon
00:11:38ultimately pre-empted the left, a part of the left, he nibbled away
00:11:42and he showed that he was the alternative on the left and it will be very complicated
00:11:46for Raphael Glucksmann and others in this democratic or
00:11:49social-democratic left to show that they can play a role, their
00:11:53space is very, very small. Because if he moves too far away from Jean-Luc Mélenchon, he will
00:11:57get closer to the center, the center left, center left, center
00:12:00right, well that's the current government, it's the Macron bis
00:12:03or ter project, and so it won't
00:12:07work, they are really in a tight spot for now, we'll see
00:12:10how they can try to broaden, is Raphael Glucksmann really
00:12:14known by the French? We say about him
00:12:16indeed that he is too focused on international and European issues, that he is too
00:12:20Parisian too, known by the French, yes, he has still run two European
00:12:24campaigns, which is a national campaign where he was the candidate of the Socialist Party,
00:12:27so that's less of a question of notoriety in my opinion than of his
00:12:31ability to resonate with the French and that's his main difficulty.
00:12:35Jean-Luc Mélenchon, it's very clear, he has a program, that's what you were saying just now, he
00:12:38embodies something very well. Raphael Glucksmann today needs to embody
00:12:42something that matches the French state of mind. He had some initial ideas on
00:12:46inheritance and so on, and the question of succession and
00:12:49how to recreate tax justice, so he has a first point
00:12:53on that, but it's really a fundamental point. Now he will have to find how he as a
00:12:57personality connects with the reality of people's daily lives and that's quite difficult to
00:13:00build. We saw him struggle in the first debate where he had been heavily
00:13:04criticized because it's true that he was very distant and seemed a little
00:13:08helpless regarding the questions that were asked by people in the
00:13:11audience, very concrete questions. We felt more of a philosophical
00:13:15approach or a very macro view of
00:13:18things and that doesn't answer. We are still in a presidential election where there are
00:13:22problems and crises that are accumulating, professional
00:13:25problems for different people, we will need
00:13:28a somewhat global approach but one that responds as it goes along to the
00:13:32concerns of different people. He has the substance and then he has the form,
00:13:36Raphael Glucksmann is often criticized for his lack of
00:13:39charisma. To win a presidential election, that matters,
00:13:42no, charisma matters, but I think we don't always define it in the right
00:13:46way, we define it as the need to have a great orator who would be perfect, which Jean-Luc
00:13:50Mélenchon embodies very well. I'll give you an example abroad, it's what happened in 2022
00:13:54in Indonesia. There was an opposition candidate who scored quite surprisingly
00:13:57at about 25%. Well, he's not a charismatic person, and on the other side you
00:14:01have the candidate designated by the ruling power who dances, who
00:14:05makes references to K-pop and so on, so that works really well. He is
00:14:09a university professor who is very technical, who goes into the substance of the issues, so it's more
00:14:12difficult but he manages to do something that is quite impressive, which is that he understands one of
00:14:16Indonesia's challenges, which is a very young country with many children
00:14:20who are without parents or in a very complicated family situation, and he will embody
00:14:24this missing figure, and so we will see him in TikTok lives
00:14:28helping children with their homework, helping them think about the future,
00:14:31and so on, and so basically he will embody something that was missing for these people and something
00:14:35that really resonates in society, so it's maybe just that thing that needs to be found today and
00:14:39that doesn't necessarily mean being a great speaker. This
00:14:41victory, in any case, comes in a troubled domestic context. You were talking about children
00:14:45in Indonesia, and here it's high school students who are in
00:14:48crisis. Does he have a role to
00:14:51knowing that we will look at this Ipsos poll, according to which
00:14:5580% of young people aged 18 to 29 intend to vote
00:14:59in 2027, but that 78% of them believe
00:15:03that current political leaders are poorly preparing their future?
00:15:05Uh, he has something among young people too, he has the youth vote to
00:15:09go for, but it's super interesting, the youth vote, by the way Jean-Luc Mélenchon takes a
00:15:13part of it, we can clearly see, uh, I think it's super interesting, so it's terrible that we
00:15:17resort to violence, but uh, we look at the
00:15:20young people, that's it, we care about young people, while apart from La France Insoumise for the
00:15:23moment, I haven't heard of any political party that
00:15:26actually cares about youth. There's a simple reason for that, it's that the older people vote and so
00:15:30we make policies, we make campaigns and public policies for the
00:15:34older people. Now it reveals something, for now I haven't heard from
00:15:37Glucksmann particularly on this topic, perhaps to
00:15:41avoid precisely being too assimilated to what
00:15:44is and then also violence, so to keep a little
00:15:47bit safe from all that,
00:15:51but we'll have to propose things, it's the future, he surely has things that the
00:15:54democratic left, as he says, can propose
00:15:58for young people who
00:16:01will enter the job market, who may one day become parents because we know that not many want
00:16:05to have children, so he has a real project, but for now, I
00:16:09find that the first signs, the first lines of this societal project, of this
00:16:13democratic left, we don't know them, we don't know them at all. High school students, that's
00:16:17the other topic we'll discuss together tonight in
00:16:19Presidential 2027. Since the beginning of the movement last
00:16:23month, we've talked a lot about the government's failures which did not take the high school
00:16:26students' demands seriously at first, which simply responded by sending in
00:16:31impression that the tone has changed. Can we
00:16:34say today that the government has finally corrected the course? The
00:16:38first thing we can say is that when high school students asked to come, they were sent riot police, I think
00:16:42that's the thing that struck me the most, it's that when we look at what happened in
00:16:462006 or even in May 68, there hadn't been as much police
00:16:49repression, it was extremely violent and extremely fast and
00:16:53then it was denounced by explaining that the high school students did not have clear
00:16:56demands, which was not true, they were asking for very simple things, to have a teacher when they arrive at
00:17:00school, not to be in overcrowded classrooms and to survive the
00:17:03heat or cold in the classrooms, that seemed quite accessible and they were just asking to
00:17:06come. So what strikes me most about the movement is how
00:17:10something happened among young people that is highly politicized and that perhaps gives
00:17:14us a lesson, to say that in fact there are people who want change in this country, who have
00:17:18a vision of society and it's with them that we must build it. You say it's politicized, it
00:17:21isn't instrumentalized because we saw that behind every high school student who came on
00:17:25set to speak, there was often an affiliation to a
00:17:29party, whether it was La France Insoumise, the National Rally. So
00:17:32that's the game of invitations in these contexts, obviously it's a cultural
00:17:36battle. In these cases, so these spokespeople arrive,
00:17:40what struck me the most in reality is how it was many people who
00:17:44had perhaps never been to a demonstration before and who mobilized
00:17:47because it simply seemed fair to them. Afterwards, there are attempts at
00:17:50récupération from all sides, we spoke a lot about La France Insoumise in this movement, in fact
00:17:54it's quite normal, a political party and you said it earlier, that spends its time talking about
00:17:58youth and comes to support the demonstration, it's
00:18:01logical that afterwards it does political communication, well yes, it's
00:18:05quite, it's its job. On the government which has
00:18:09still tried to make some announcements, it has
00:18:12notably proposed the deployment of 3000 substitute
00:18:15teachers, it has set up a listening platform
00:18:18for the grievances of high school students, is it doing
00:18:22enough knowing that the coffers are empty and that it will not be able to unlock
00:18:26billions immediately? I'm very surprised by the
00:18:30reaction he had, especially Edouard Geffray, he's not unknown to the National
00:18:33Education, he's someone who knows very well how it works, who has been there for a very, very long time. I had
00:18:37the impression, it's not even a delay in starting, it's a yellow vest type error, meaning we
00:18:41don't look, we don't consider what Macron did until the last moment when there was
00:18:45violence, Arc de Triomphe, and then all of a sudden we get out the checkbook and we
00:18:49give 15 or 17 billion euros equivalent in tax
00:18:52cuts, yes, but it was the same thing, meaning we waited until the
00:18:56movement started on September 17th, it's 3 weeks
00:18:59later that we woke up because there was violence that was not by
00:19:02high school students, by high school students in fact
00:19:05and that's when we start to give answers and I find that's a message but it's
00:19:09terrible to give, meaning violence equals okay we'll take care of
00:19:13you. Now, no, I think that they haven't yet, I think
00:19:16that they will be forced to give little by little, and you say yes the
00:19:20budget is tight, but there are priorities to be made, there are choices, there are
00:19:24perhaps renunciations and I think that sending a message saying we don't care about
00:19:28youth can't go through, there are also questions of "Parcoursup" quite
00:19:31simply and everyone knows that, even the government is aware that it's a system
00:19:35that is completely upside down, so no
00:19:37I think that they will be forced to give even more because Tuesday is act 5,
00:19:41another day of mobilization of high school students, the government
00:19:45seems to be banking on a dwindling of momentum and it's true that fewer
00:19:48high schools were blocked at the end of the week, is the
00:19:52government right to bank on this dwindling? It also seems to be banking on the arrival of
00:19:55school holidays, which is quite logical and quite
00:20:00the continuation of the movement will be whether it will be joined more by
00:20:04students, whether it will take more with... trade unions
00:20:08pardon me, which are starting to call for mobilization and so in essence, will the anger of
00:20:11high school students broaden to something much larger in society?
00:20:13finished or do you still have no no
00:20:16simply I noticed that we talk about acts and
00:20:20all that resembles the yellow vests and we know that there are demonstrations planned a little
00:20:24in that direction, there is still a lot of anger in France and it
00:20:27seems that it only takes a little for it to ignite in one place for it
00:20:31to spread a little more widely, that's why the government is very vigilant so that
00:20:35it doesn't end, you know the aggregation of all the angers, it's the famous
00:20:38risk of the convergence of struggles, there is another demonstration planned next Saturday,
00:20:42October 17th, yellow vests and Yellow Vests, we feel there's
00:20:46something, it's enough, what was the Yellow Vests about? The increase in fuel tax?
00:20:50It was a small thing, the government didn't see it coming, it was
00:20:53Édouard Philippe actually, and and it flared up very, very quickly
00:20:57with regular meetings, and here we are again, we are in acts, meaning we're not letting go
00:21:01of it, we continue uh we are
00:21:03active and we're setting up meetings with a slightly different context
00:21:07since it's been 10 years that all listening devices haven't been followed up on,
00:21:11there was the great debate, there's the citizen convention for the climate, remember, there was the great march 10
00:21:15years ago and each time it was "we're listening to you" but nothing happens
00:21:18behind the scenes, and what you... said before is that it only evolves when there's violence
00:21:22and so we find ourselves in something that is even more complicated when we are 8 months
00:21:26away from a presidential election and therefore arrive in a situation that risks being extremely
00:21:40news now and the communication line, clearly scrambled, between
00:21:44Kyiv and Washington. This Sunday, Donald Trump announced that an energy
00:21:47ceasefire had been concluded between Russia and... except that Volodymyr
00:21:51Zelensky was not aware
00:21:53of it.
00:21:55It was on his social network Truth Social that Donald
00:21:59Trump announced this Sunday: a bilateral
00:22:02energy ceasefire would have been accepted by Ukraine and
00:22:05Russia with immediate effect. The American
00:22:09president did not give any details on the terms of this announced
00:22:12truce, but this statement comes the day after he criticized
00:22:16Zelensky, reproaching Kyiv for its attacks against
00:22:20Russian refineries, which, according to Donald Trump, would
00:22:24lead to an increase in diesel prices in the United States. He also
00:22:27stated that Ukraine should have a new president, which
00:22:31would further increase pressure on Volodymyr
00:22:34Zelensky, who does not rule out elections under certain
00:22:38conditions. We are ready for a ceasefire, we
00:22:42are ready to take any step of
00:22:46sector, a ceasefire on both sides, and tell Putin.
00:22:50He grants us 2 months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60
00:22:53days to organize elections, of course, we will accept the
00:22:57choice of our people, whatever
00:22:59it may be.
00:23:01Tensions were already very high on Friday when the American
00:23:05president announced an agreement between the United States and Russia for
00:23:08the massive purchase of Russian diesel, accompanied by
00:23:11an easing of sanctions against Moscow. With this
00:23:15agreement, Donald Trump prioritizes the midterm elections
00:23:18for which his party is in difficulty, particularly because
00:23:22of the increase in fuel prices. First,
00:23:25300,000 tons of diesel on the American and global
00:23:28market, a very small quantity according to specialists,
00:23:32compared to American demand. Refineries
00:23:35are mainly disrupted by the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz
00:23:38and the war in the Middle East, initiated by the
00:23:42United States.
00:23:44In Saudi Arabia, two attacks in 2 days were carried out against Riyadh's
00:23:48international airport. The first left at least 12 dead on Saturday and dozens of
00:23:52injured, the second also left injured today, strikes
00:23:56claimed by Houthi fighters from Yemen, Luc
00:23:59Lacroix
00:24:03tirelessly targeted, main target, Riyadh airport,
00:24:07it was notably hit by a strike
00:24:09yesterday, only a few images
00:24:13filtered out, the Saudi authorities are reluctant to show that
00:24:16they are affected, but a passenger recounts the panic. I
00:24:20saw injured people, everyone was running, yesterday's
00:24:23attack is the deadliest in Saudi Arabia
00:24:27since 2015, 12 dead, including 8
00:24:30foreigners, so the
00:24:33to mention it, it shows the Minister of Health alongside the
00:24:36survivors, hello, how are
00:24:39you, over 300
00:24:42injured, among them a Frenchwoman, we do not yet know the
00:24:46severity of her injuries, today this
00:24:49same... airport was targeted once again, new
00:24:53injured have just been announced by the authorities. For
00:24:56several days, attacks have followed one another on airports, but also on
00:24:59Saudi energy infrastructure. They are
00:25:03claimed by the Houthis of Yemen.
00:25:06We reiterate our warning to all international companies,
00:25:10experts, employees, and travelers worldwide not
00:25:14to operate flights to Saudi airports. They are not
00:25:17safe.
00:25:20Sworn enemy of Saudi Arabia, the Houthis are supported by Iran and
00:25:24control this area to the west, and
00:25:26especially the passage through the Red Sea, which is
00:25:30essential for Saudi oil,
00:25:33unacceptable for Saudi Arabia, which
00:25:36supports its strikes against the Houthis in
00:25:39Yemen.
00:25:42Until now, the United
00:25:45Saudi Arabia, has refused to get militarily
00:25:48involved, but... Among yesterday's victims, there was
00:25:51an American, and last night Donald Trump called
00:25:55the attack against Riyadh airport
00:25:57"unacceptable."
00:26:00And as yesterday, the international airport of... Dammam, still in Saudi Arabia,
00:26:04was also targeted this evening. Stay
00:26:07with us, the weekend essential continues, we'll be back in a few minutes
00:26:25millions of votes,
00:26:29an election that can change everything when...

00:30:15with 66% of the votes, he wants to be the candidate who can defeat
00:30:19the far-right. Also in the headlines, an energy ceasefire
00:30:23concluded between Russia and Ukraine, according to Donald Trump at least, the American
00:30:27president assures that Kyiv and Moscow will no longer target their respective energy infrastructures.
00:30:30who announces that he is not
00:30:34aware, finally Riyadh's international airport again targeted
