00:00:01100,000 women, according to UN
00:00:07You're watching the essentials on France 24. Welcome if you're joining us. The main story:
00:00:11Raphael Glucksmann's victory in France in
00:00:14United States, great allies of the first round of the left-wing primary. He won with 66% of
00:00:16the votes. He wants to be the candidate who can defeat the far
00:00:19right. Riyadh International Airport
00:00:22was again targeted by an attack this Sunday, injuring several people. Earlier in
00:00:26the day, Yemeni Houthis had claimed responsibility for the strike that killed at least
00:00:3012 people on Saturday. And then an energy ceasefire
00:00:34was concluded between Russia and Ukraine,
00:00:36still mention today the effect according to Donald Trump at least. The American president assures that Kyiv and Moscow will
00:00:40no longer target each other's energy infrastructure.
00:00:43Volodymyr Zelensky says he is not aware of it.
00:00:50at school, on the way to
00:01:00The Socialist Party therefore has its official candidate for 2027:
00:01:04MEP Raphaël Glucksmann. He won the left-wing primary this Sunday in
00:01:08the first round. "I am the candidate of the democratic left who
00:01:12Back in France, the Mondial de can defeat the far right," he declared. His portrait, signed by Leo
00:01:15Péchar.
00:01:18The result is undeniable.
00:01:21With 66.13% of the votes, Raphael
00:01:24Glucksmann largely wins the primary and becomes the
00:01:27candidate of the social-democratic left for
00:01:30the next presidential election. At 46, he dives into the deep
00:01:35de-escalation to spare the energy end of politics, he who began his career as a journalist and
00:01:38documentary filmmaker.
00:01:40Nurtured by the internationalism of his father, the philosopher André
00:01:44Glucksmann, he in turn entered the international political scene
00:01:47and from 2009 to 2013 became an advisor to
00:01:51Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. It is
00:01:54finally from France that the contender for the Élysée wants to carry
00:01:58his European commitment. In 2019, Raphaël Glucksmann
00:02:02was elected MEP in the European elections with the "Place Publique" movement, which
00:02:05he co-founded a year earlier. Re-elected in
00:02:092024, he became one of the most prominent figures of the moderate
00:02:13left in Brussels. "Yesterday, hatred won in France
00:02:17and in Europe, so it is time
00:02:20today to remember that we are committed to the rights and
00:02:23humanist principles that underpin European construction.
00:02:27It is time to rise."
00:02:30His struggles include the defense of Ukraine, human rights, and the fight against foreign
00:02:33interference. He also advocates for an ecological
00:02:37revolution, while supporting the reindustrialization of
00:02:40France. This social-democratic and reformist
00:02:44line is one the candidate will have to assert against Jean-Luc Mélenchon's "La France Insoumise",
00:02:48a formidable rival on his left with whom he
00:02:51refuses any
00:02:52simply with one category of alliance. "There will be no agreement with La France Insoumise, but there
00:02:57with trade unions from will be an agreement with the democratic left, with the republican left,
00:03:00and we will win the presidential election, I am absolutely
00:03:04convinced of that." Bringing together a divided left is Raphaël Glucksmann's next
00:03:08challenge, who must notably convince the environmentalists,
00:03:11torn between him and Jean-Luc Mélenchon. This
00:03:14Sunday, the MEP took a decisive step, but from
00:03:18Brussels to the Élysée, the road remains
00:03:20long.
00:03:22In international news, two attacks in 2 days were carried
00:03:26out against Riyadh International Airport in Saudi Arabia. The first
00:03:30attack killed at least 12 people on Saturday
00:03:34another angle, the extent of and injured dozens. The second also caused injuries this Sunday. The strikes
00:03:38were claimed by Yemeni Houthi fighters. Luke
00:03:40Lacroix. Saudi Arabia
00:03:44relentlessly targeted. The main target was Riyadh airport.
00:03:48Riyad.
00:03:50It was hit by a strike yesterday. Only a few images
00:03:54leaked. The Saudi authorities are reluctant to show that they are affected,
00:03:58l'enseignement, I hadn't planned but a passenger recounts the horror. Quebec, the Fédération autonome de "I saw injured people, everyone
00:04:02was running. Yesterday's attack was the deadliest
00:04:06in Saudi Arabia since 2015. 12
00:04:09dead, including 8 foreigners. So the
00:04:12local television is forced to mention it. It shows the
00:04:16Minister of Health alongside the survivors.
00:04:19"Hello, how are you?" "I'm fine." More
00:04:21than 300 injured, among them a
00:04:27line will the new Frenchwoman. The severity of her injuries is not yet known. Today,
00:04:30this same airport was targeted once again. New
00:04:34injuries have just been announced by the authorities. For
00:04:37several days, attacks have been chaining against airports, but also against
00:04:40Saudi energy infrastructure. They are
00:04:43claimed by the Yemeni Houthis.
00:04:47"We reiterate our warning to all international companies,
00:04:51experts, employees and travelers around the world not to
00:04:55operate flights to Saudi airports. They are not
00:04:58safe."
00:05:01Sworn enemies of Saudi Arabia, the Houthis are supported by Iran and
00:05:05control this area to the west, and
00:05:07especially the passage through the Red Sea, which is essential
00:05:11for Saudi oil.
00:05:14Unacceptable for Saudi Arabia, which supports
00:05:17its strikes against the Houthis in
00:05:20Yemen.
00:05:23Until then, the
00:05:26Saudi Arabia, had refused to get involved
00:05:29militarily. But among yesterday's victims was an
00:05:32American. And this night, Donald Trump called
00:05:36the attack against Riyadh airport
00:05:38"unacceptable."
00:05:41Yes, the line of communication is clearly scrambled between Kyiv and
00:05:45Washington this Sunday. Donald Trump announced that an energy ceasefire
00:05:48had been concluded between Russia and Ukraine, except that
00:05:51Volodymyr Zelensky is not aware of it. Ethan
00:05:54Adji. It was from his social network
00:05:58Truth Social that Donald Trump announced this
00:06:01Sunday that a bilateral energy ceasefire had allegedly
00:06:05been agreed to by Ukraine and Russia, with immediate
00:06:08effect. The American president gave no
00:06:12details about the terms of this announced truce. But this statement
00:06:16comes after the criticism he made against Zelensky,
00:06:19reproaching Kyiv for its attacks against Russian refineries. According to Donald Trump,
00:06:23these attacks would lead to an increase in diesel prices
00:06:27in the United States. He also declared that Ukraine should elect
00:06:30a new president, which further increases
00:06:34the pressure on Volodymyr Zelensky, who does not rule
00:06:37out elections under certain
00:06:39conditions.
00:06:42For a ceasefire, we are ready to take any step of
00:06:47sector. A ceasefire from both sides. And tell Putin
00:06:51to give us 2 months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60
00:06:55days to organize elections. Of course, we will accept the
00:06:58choice of our people, whatever it
00:07:00may be.
00:07:02The tension was already very high on Friday when the American
00:07:06president announced an agreement between the United States and Russia for
00:07:09the massive purchase of Russian diesel, coupled
00:07:13with an easing of sanctions against Moscow. With this
00:07:16agreement, Donald Trump prioritizes the mid-term
00:07:19elections, for which his party is in difficulty, notably
00:07:23due to the increase in fuel prices. First,
00:07:27300,000 tons of diesel on the American and world market,
00:07:30a very small quantity according to specialists, compared to American
00:07:34demand. Refineries are mostly
00:07:38disrupted by the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz and the war in the
00:07:41Middle East. Initiated by the

00:07:46New striking images from Nepal with this new
00:07:50wave of mud flowing down the mountains. A
00:07:53spectacular flood this Sunday, only 6
00:07:55weeks after the floods that killed more than
00:07:581,400 people and left 5,000 missing. Thomas
00:08:01Kun: A giant,
00:08:04géante,
00:08:06unstoppable
00:08:09wave, a torrent of mud pours into this valley,
00:08:12carrying everything in its path. In
00:08:15a few seconds, villages engulfed in front of helpless
00:08:19inhabitants.
00:08:29This sudden flood was caused by the breach of a dam
00:08:32following a landslide. Nothing resists,
00:08:35résiste,
00:08:39not even this metal bridge. It gives way to the force of
00:08:43the current. Seen from
00:08:47the
00:08:47disaster is visible.
00:08:51The disaster occurred in northern
00:08:54Nepal in the Gorkha
00:08:56region. Residents had time to take
00:09:00refuge in high ground. "This was our village, it was a small
00:09:04hamlet. Everyone was screaming, we took refuge in the
00:09:07mountains."
00:09:10Here, in the center of the image, other
00:09:12survivors. Very quickly, the army was
00:09:16deployed to rescue them. Helicopters fly over a devastated
00:09:20area. Entire sections of cliffs have
00:09:23collapsed. We can clearly see here the
00:09:27path of the mudflow. According to
00:09:30an initial assessment by the authorities, at least five people
00:09:34are reported missing.
00:09:37Mexico is preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Simon, which could make
00:09:41landfall in the central-west of the country. Details with
00:09:44Ethan Adji:
00:09:47The city of Acapulco is already suffering the
00:09:50first consequences of Hurricane Simon. Here, a
00:09:53landslide on this hill. A little further,
00:09:57a house collapsed near a canal. The powerful
00:10:01hurricane is expected to move along the central-west coast of Mexico this
00:10:04Sunday. Its arrival has caused torrential rains and
00:10:07gusts of wind reaching 250 km/h in some
00:10:11areas. Due
00:10:14to heavy rains, water has saturated the soil in some places, leading to
00:10:18landslides and rock debris flows on the roads. The
00:10:22National Guard has deployed personnel to shopping
00:10:25centers, gas stations, and the neighborhoods most vulnerable to the effects of the
00:10:29bad weather.
00:10:32Further north, in Puerto Vallarta, the population is also
00:10:36preparing. Authorities have declared a maximum alert in
00:10:39several localities in this state.
00:10:42Here, to protect their establishments, shopkeepers have
00:10:46placed sandbags at the entrance and barricaded the doors. This
00:10:50coastal city is protected from hurricanes by the surrounding
00:10:53mountains, but many prefer to take
00:10:55precautions.
00:10:59"We're getting ready for the hurricane that's coming, we need to be prepared so there's no problem for our
00:11:03restaurant. What we fear are the big waves, because the water comes
00:11:06up to here. If that happens, there's no point in
00:11:10crying or lamenting, we just have to accept things. Deep
00:11:14down, it's nature expressing itself." The
00:11:17Mexican Navy has already evacuated about a hundred people from
00:11:21towns along the country's west coast. Simon is the
00:11:25latest hurricane in the Pacific, whose waters have
00:11:28warmed due to the El Niño climate
00:11:31phenomenon, which leads to more powerful
00:11:34hurricanes.
00:11:37l'Automobile opens its doors this Monday in Paris, and with it many
00:11:41economic and diplomatic questions are at stake.
00:11:45The European Union has just announced that it has obtained from China an agreement to moderate the flow
00:11:49of hybrid vehicles onto the European market. "Moderate"
00:11:52remains a vague term. Can we really resist Chinese
00:11:56competition? An element of an answer with Annaket and Audi
00:11:59Longvalle: Brand new Chinese cars,
00:12:02as far as the eye can see, ready to be
00:12:06exported worldwide.
00:12:09Images that make Europe tremble and illustrate China's
00:12:13rising power, which has become the great
00:12:15leader of the automotive industry. A power
00:12:19struggle, global tensions over
00:12:22automobiles.
00:12:25In China, factories are running at full capacity. 34 million
00:12:29vehicles manufactured in 2025. It is the
00:12:32country that produces the most each year, far ahead of the
00:12:36United States and Japan. In 15
00:12:39years, sales of Chinese cars have jumped by
00:12:43152 %. And facing a saturated domestic
00:12:47market, Beijing is now looking to conquer
00:12:50Europe. "Today, in China, we probably have
00:12:54the means to manufacture something like 40 or 45 million
00:12:57cars. That means that with their factories, they could
00:13:00largely satisfy all of our needs, and therefore they
00:13:03could completely kill our industry." In
00:13:06France, Chinese dealerships are multiplying, a
00:13:10hundred for the manufacturer BYD alone. And in
00:13:13Europe, the market share of Chinese brands has increased from
00:13:170.5% in 2021 to more
00:13:20than 6% in 2025.
00:13:24Beijing even wants to go further by producing its
00:13:27vehicles directly on our continent. Many
00:13:31projects have been launched, a factory has just been
00:13:35built in Hungary. To
00:13:37counter this offensive, the European Union is fighting back and threatening
00:13:41to increase customs duties, a method that
00:13:44is starting to pay off. It has just obtained a first concession from
00:13:47Beijing. "We have reached an agreement in principle to
00:13:51moderate hybrid vehicle exports from China to the Union."
00:13:56Reducing Chinese competition is a matter of survival, especially for
00:14:00German Volkswagen. The group has announced the
00:14:03elimination of 50,000 jobs in Germany
00:14:06by 2030. For its part, France is banking on
00:14:10electric vehicles to resist, with flagship
00:14:13vehicles such as the Renault 5, entirely produced in
00:14:17France. "Today, French manufacturers have largely chosen
00:14:20France for these new vehicles that correspond
00:14:24to the future of production. So yes, with
00:14:27electrification, indeed, manufacturers have
00:14:30bet on France." In this global competition, the
00:14:34United States has made a radical choice. Since
00:14:372024, they have imposed 100% customs duties on
00:14:40imports of Chinese electric cars.
00:14:44And that's all for the weekend essentials.
00:15:10Hello everyone, and welcome to Actuelle. In
00:15:13Cameroon, femicides are exploding. It is one of the countries in the world that
00:15:16records the highest number of murders of women because they are
00:15:20women. Hatred of women, homophobia, transphobia,
00:15:24these are subjects that sometimes start in primary school and that my
00:15:27guest, researcher Francis du Puy des Ries, will talk about in a
00:15:30moment.
00:15:33Africa records the highest number of femicides in the world, with 3 cases per
00:15:38figures, compared to 0.5 femicides per 100,000
00:15:41women in Europe. This violence is particularly
00:15:44blatant in Cameroon, where in the first four months of
00:15:472026, 50 women were killed. That's as
00:15:51many as in the entire year 2023. Associations are demanding
00:15:55emergency measures, families are demanding justice. Explanations
00:15:58by Nina Masson.
00:16:01At just 18 years old, Courage buries her
00:16:03mother. Géraldine Nacia was a teacher.
00:16:07She was beaten to death in early September. Her only
00:16:10son is still struggling to come to terms with it.
00:16:14"It's a nightmare from which I may one day wake up. The shock is too
00:16:17strong. I can't believe I was still talking to my mother earlier this
00:16:20week, and now she's gone." Suspicion quickly falls
00:16:24on her husband, arrested a few days after the
00:16:27events. He denies any involvement
00:16:31in her death. On Géraldine's phone, her sister
00:16:34discovers photographs of her with her face covered
00:16:37in injuries.
00:16:39"When I arrived at the dispensary, I found my sister lying there,
00:16:43already dead. She was covered with a
00:16:46sheet. When I lifted it, I saw her face in
00:16:50profile. Her mouth was
00:16:52gashed."
00:16:55Géraldine is far from an isolated case. In recent years, the
00:16:59number of femicides has continued to increase in Cameroon. 50 were
00:17:03recorded in just 4 months in 2026, which is as
00:17:06many as in the entire year 2023, according to the Ministry of
00:17:10Family. Faced with this violence, the authorities
00:17:13are increasing awareness campaigns. "When you are told
00:17:16that a woman has been murdered, it is not the first
00:17:19day of violence that she is murdered. It is
00:17:22after verbal violence, it is after silent violence,
00:17:26it is after economic violence that it turns into physical violence.
00:17:29According to statistics, we note that every 10 minutes,
00:17:33since you started interviewing me, two women have already
00:17:36been murdered." In Cameroon, femicide
00:17:39still does not exist in the penal code. A bill is due
00:17:43to be examined in November to better define and punish these
00:17:46crimes. "If there is a specific law that defines the
00:17:50notion of femicide and that provides for sanctions, all
00:17:53magistrates who are there to apply the law, all
00:17:57magistrates will really be obliged to respect the same
00:18:01sanctions." Faced with the slowness of institutions, reactions are
00:18:04multiplying. The opposition denounces the pass.
00:18:17"The only thing I really ask the authorities of this
00:18:20country is that justice be done for my
00:18:23mother." A call for justice among many others
00:18:27on a continent where, according to the UN, the femicide
00:18:30rate is the highest in the
00:18:32world.
00:18:35Misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, racist insults, acts of vandalism,
00:18:39physical assaults, and above all increasingly
00:18:42uninhibited ones. This way of seeing the world is carried by the words
00:18:46and behaviors of powerful men like US President Donald
00:18:49Trump or billionaire Elon Musk, and inspires
00:18:53the violent speeches of young boys, sometimes even very
00:18:56young. Researcher Francis du Puyderry has studied the issue in
00:19:00Canada, the United States, and France, and he presents the results of his research in
00:19:04his new book, "L'école champ de bataille" (School: Battlefield),
00:19:08published by Luxe Éditeur. Hello Francis Dupuy.
00:19:11Hello, thank you for being on the Actuelle set.
00:19:13You worked for this book with students
00:19:17from primary school until the end of high school, so very young, and you report statements and
00:19:20attitudes that are shocking and moreover
00:19:23claimed. Are there any particular elements that really
00:19:27struck you? When I first started research in
00:19:31partnership with a teaching union in
00:19:36on only making a call
00:19:40for volunteer teachers to participate in the discussion
00:19:43at the secondary level (12 years and up,
00:19:46let's say). And in fact, a third of the volunteers came from
00:19:50primary schools. So that indeed
00:19:53shocked me. And then, yes, the brutality also of
00:19:56the actions, because there are insults towards the female teacher (they are
00:20:00often women), the teacher herself in front of the whole class, which disturbed
00:20:04me, but also the violence of the gestures
00:20:07towards their classmates from sexual or gender diversity, and young
00:20:11girls. And so I came to use the expression
00:20:15"persecution". They are like a persecuted minority in this
00:20:18case. Do these students understand what they are saying and doing
00:20:21when they commit these violent acts, these
00:20:25insulting remarks? Well, let's say that the majority of young people are
00:20:29tolerant, inclusive, open. Obviously, there are also young people from
00:20:32sexual and gender diversity, and there are obviously young feminists, also young queer people at that
00:20:36age. So in fact, we are talking about a
00:20:39minority, but this minority is increasingly uninhibited, to use a
00:20:43trendy term, increasingly brutal. It is mainly
00:20:46boys, and let's say a good piece of news, if we can put it that way, is that at the primary
00:20:50level, so when they are very young, the teachers tell us that they are still
00:20:54easier to reframe, because at that age they may have
00:20:57a sexist remark or a brutal
00:21:01homophobic comment, but there isn't much behind it. Whereas
00:21:05when they reach, let's say, the more critical age of 15, 16,
00:21:08it becomes much more complicated. Indeed, sexism,
00:21:12homophobia, transphobia are much more asserted. Is there a
00:21:16reason that explains the development of these remarks?
00:21:19Well, several and intersecting reasons that intersect
00:21:23and reinforce each other. We
00:21:26of covid and confinement, which obviously had psychological effects
00:21:30on this cohort that is still there. But also the
00:21:34socio-political context. These
00:21:37young people, in fact, the school, it participates in society, it's not isolated from society,
00:21:41you see it at the moment in France by the way. And so in fact,
00:21:44in Quebec but elsewhere too, young
00:21:48francophones (I specify these are francophone schools, these are not anglophone schools) explicitly
00:21:51claim to be followers of Trump, of Donald Trump, of Elon Musk and
00:21:55say to their female teachers for example: "I say that
00:21:59women are inferior, should have a lower salary, should not have the right to vote, that trans
00:22:02people should not exist, and what I say is what the President of the United States himself,
00:22:06the most powerful man in the world, says, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, who has
00:22:10moreover disowned his trans daughter, and therefore I have the right to say that, you can't tell me that I
00:22:14can't say that because I'm saying the same thing as the president
00:22:18and the richest man in the world," and they add in an
00:22:21insulting way, "and you're just a
00:22:24teacher." It's very troubling because the teacher is still the
00:22:27person who opens their minds to the world. Troubling, to say the
00:22:31least. You also note in your book that often a
00:22:35young person who is misogynistic
00:22:39tends to also be transphobic, racist,
00:22:42homophobic. Exactly. In short, one hatred
00:22:44hides a forest of other hatreds. What explains
00:22:48this amalgamation of people
00:22:52we hate, whoever they may be? Yes, well, that was theorized,
00:22:55if I can put it that way, by an African-American intellectual, Robert Brown, who tried to explain the
00:22:59first election of Trump, and he spoke of the intersectionality
00:23:02of hatreds, a kind of intertwining of hatreds. Here in France, the historian
00:23:06Christen Barr also worked on this notion. And in fact, it's as
00:23:10if there was the same software every time. And so you are a young white
00:23:13man, and you feel like a victim of women, you feel
00:23:17like a victim of homosexuals, you feel like a victim of immigrants,
00:23:21you feel like a victim of Islam, and so you always have the same
00:23:24software to understand the world and you
00:23:27present yourself as a victim who must
00:23:30be in some form of resistance. In our survey, what
00:23:33we did, we actually went to 8 regions of Quebec, and in fact these problems
00:23:37are found everywhere. So in fact, it's not associated
00:23:42the population. That being said, obviously, I had discussions
00:23:47education in France, for example, I have exchanges on this research and
00:23:51it's certain that, for example, in strongholds of the National Rally,
00:23:54for example, where there is a high concentration of Reconquête or
00:23:58National Rally votes, well, we hear more of this kind of talk, but also,
00:24:02paradoxically, in places where there is a high concentration
00:24:05of very, very conservative conceptions of religion, very conservative
00:24:09interpretations of religion, and that can be either
00:24:12Islam, but it's also Catholicism. And in fact, there are many associations
00:24:16of parents, officially or unofficially Catholic in France, or
00:24:20in the United States, who are mobilizing, for example, against sex education courses
00:24:24at school, or textbooks,
00:24:26books where they would talk about sexual and gender diversity.
00:24:30You were talking about masculinists on
00:24:33social networks, what influence do social networks have on the development of these
00:24:37ideas? So, social media is both, let's say, it has a dark side and a bright
00:24:41side. So what we know, it's not the subject of my research, but what we know is that
00:24:45today, in 2026, there will be a greater number of
00:24:49young girls who will identify as feminists earlier, thanks in part to social
00:24:53networks, social media. They find feminist influencers who inspire
00:24:56them. They also see sexist and misogynistic violence on social media, and so
00:25:00they are disgusted by it, and so they identify as feminists. And also young people of
00:25:03sexual and gender diversity on social media, they find resources, they find
00:25:07references, they find role models, and that gives them a lot of oxygen and helps them a lot in
00:25:11their process of questioning, of reflection on who they are in terms of their
00:25:14identity. Unfortunately, obviously, there is the dark side, and so
00:25:18we're not going to close our eyes to it. There are really a lot of
00:25:22influencers in France, very misogynistic
00:25:25influencers. There have even been parliamentary hearings
00:25:28on this subject. It is indeed a serious problem, and well-meaning
00:25:32boys can actually, through algorithms, very
00:25:36quickly end up on these sites. That doesn't mean they automatically
00:25:39become sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, but indeed, there
00:25:43will be a certain number who will be convinced because they are
00:25:46relatively effective, after all. And then you know, they promise to become rich easily,
00:25:50to have a nice car, to have, well, a bit of the
00:25:53American dream, if we can call it that, which is also the French dream, in fact. And
00:25:57so, and so yes, it's a problem, obviously, to
00:26:01conclude, when faced with a young person who makes such comments,
00:26:04misogynistic, transphobic, homophobic, racist,
00:26:07etc., what kind of reaction can we have? What can help
00:26:11this young person get out of such ideas? So, there's no magic formula, something we say
00:26:15to a young person, a teacher will say something to a young person, it will work, it will calm the situation, it will make
00:26:19them think. With another young person, it won't work, that's normal.
00:26:21Uh, but most teachers agree that
00:26:25you have to intervene, you have to keep in touch with the young person, maybe not just
00:26:29attack them on that, but try to understand their motivations, their... background, their
00:26:33life context, their references. And above all, they say "we must also react
00:26:36for others in the class, for their classmates who are also suffering from this
00:26:40violence." I was told a lot about cases, among others, of young girls and young people of
00:26:44diversity who no longer dare to participate in debates because they say "it's not just that we're afraid
00:26:47of not winning the debate, it's that in fact, in the coming weeks, months, they're going to make our lives miserable
00:26:53school, in public transport, and so on." And so, teachers
00:26:56have a sort of duty to react
00:26:59to show in fact to the students that they are a person of trust, a person of reference
00:27:03to whom one can confide. And then I'll finish with this: there are obviously teachers,
00:27:06female teachers, who are also feminists, who are also from diversity, and so sometimes they react as well
00:27:10because they feel directly attacked, obviously. Thank you very much, Francis
00:27:14Dupuy-Derry, for coming to tell us about the results of your research, which can be found in your
00:27:18book, "L'école champ de bataille" (The School as a Battlefield), published by
00:27:33"Chaque semaine." Roseline Fèvre receives
00:27:36editorialists and discusses with them the major political themes that are
00:27:39currently in the news. You've noticed that there really is a revolution, it's the French
00:27:43model that is at stake. "Politique," your show to watch
00:27:47on France 24.
00:30:08Night edition, good evening, welcome, thank you for following us on France
00:30:1224. Here are the headlines of the news: the
00:30:15Glucksmann surprise in France. Raphaël Glucksmann won the
00:30:18primary and will be the socialist candidate for the presidential election. The surprise is
00:30:22his score of 66% in the first round,
00:30:26far ahead of his competitors. So what
00:30:29man of the left defend? We'll talk about it at the beginning of the show.
00:30:35Donald Trump announces an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia,
00:30:38without further details and especially without Kiev being informed.
00:30:42Volodymyr Zelensky says he is ready to accept
00:30:45this dream, also ready to organize elections, but deplores that
00:30:49Russian strikes against energy targets have
00:30:52continued.
00:30:55And a car well-known to the French is making its big comeback in a modernized electric version.
