00:00:00to be seen on France 24 and our social
00:00:11that are still striking Saudi Arabia, as was the case throughout
00:00:14the weekend. The latest drones and missiles fell overnight on the
00:00:18airports of Riyadh and Damas. You see these impressive images: at least one
00:00:22dead and 11 injured. This is in addition to the 13 dead and
00:00:25309 injured from Saturday. Donald Trump does not rule out support
00:00:29for the Saudis. Raphaël
00:00:31Glucksmann largely wins the Social-Democratic Left primary.
00:00:34The MEP is designated as a candidate in the first round with
00:00:3866% of the votes, far ahead of his opponents.
00:00:41With this public figure leader, the Socialist Party will not have a candidate from its ranks to represent
00:00:45it in the presidential election in the first round on April 18th. And can French
00:00:49and European car manufacturers fight
00:00:52against the Chinese industry? This question will be widely discussed in the aisles of the Paris
00:00:55Motor Show,
00:00:58groups. Since the beginning of inaugurated this Monday by Emmanuel Macron. Moreover, the head of state must emphasize
00:01:01the electrification of vehicles, European
00:01:04preference, and innovation, as the Élysée said on Friday.
00:01:08Beijing has agreed to curb its exports of hybrid cars
00:01:11to the European
00:01:23Houthis and Saudi Arabia. Yes, a war that is obviously continuing
00:01:26with Riyadh and its airport, so the main entry point
00:01:30into the country, which has been hit again with unprecedented attacks, 13 dead, more than
00:01:34300 injured. Where is Saudi Arabia going and how will it
00:01:38get out of this? We will discuss it together. Hélène, the press this morning is notably focusing on the Dalit movement
00:01:42in India, whose leaders were released this Sunday after 24 hours of
00:01:45detention. Yes, the Dalit people's party is still protesting
00:01:49against the removal of some 130 million people
00:01:52from the electoral
00:02:09Citroën stand with you see behind me, I think
00:02:13you like this little car, it's the 2CV, the little 2CV
00:02:16which is a model, it's not yet the one that will be sold in 2
00:02:20years, but it's one of the stars of this show and I'll tell you about it later,
00:02:41Headlining this morning, this new series of Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia
00:02:45overnight. Houthi fighters from Yemen claimed ballistic
00:02:49missile, cruise missile, and drone strikes. The Saudi
00:02:53and we count on Russia's civil aviation authority has announced, for now, one dead and 11 injured in this new
00:02:56attack. This is in addition to the 13 dead and 309 injured
00:03:00from the weekend, notably at Riyadh airport on Saturday. The airport is still closed
00:03:08asks the UN Security Council under relentless attack. The main
00:03:12one of the most violent that West target, Riyadh airport, hit by two
00:03:14attacks on Saturday and Sunday, the deadliest
00:03:17on its soil since
00:03:192015.
00:03:21Yemeni armed forces conducted four major operations in the last
00:03:2524 hours, using ballistic and cruise missiles as well as
00:03:29drones. The first operation, conducted in three
00:03:32phases, targeted King Khalid International Airport in
00:03:35Riyadh and led to air traffic disruption and
00:03:39the complete closure of the airport.
00:03:42In these surveillance video images,
00:03:44passengers at King Khalid
00:03:47Flights resumed Sunday at the city's Airport are caught in the violence of the explosion. Since
00:03:50Saturday, hundreds of injured
00:03:52a philosopher highly committed to human people have been treated in this hospital in the Saudi capital.
00:03:56The airport is closed until Monday
00:04:00evening. Strikes also hit other
00:04:03airports and Saudi energy infrastructure
00:04:06located in the east of the country. All
00:04:10are claimed by the Yemeni Houthis. The
00:04:13coalition led by Saudi Arabia, for its part,
00:04:17announced that it had shot down a missile in the same area.
00:04:21Interception and destruction of a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi terrorist militia
00:04:24towards Khamis Mushait. In the
00:04:28region and among allies. Several leaders have
00:04:31reacted, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
00:04:34condemning a horrific terrorist attack. Donald
00:04:38Trump, for his part, called these strikes unacceptable,
00:04:41indicating that he would consider a possible American
00:04:44participation in military operations against the
00:04:48Houthis. They preferred to go to Yemen
00:04:51rather than stay in their war-torn country. At least 139
00:04:54battles, the defense of migrants died in the sinking of an overloaded boat off the
00:04:58coast of Djibouti this weekend. 80... four remain missing. They are
00:05:01mainly Ethiopian migrants fleeing the
00:05:05war in the Tigray region, Alice Broga.
00:05:08The sea has washed up about ten bodies on this beach in Djibouti,
00:05:12north of Obock. The day before, a boat carrying 305
00:05:16migrants capsized off the coast while heading towards
00:05:19Yemen to the east. According to local authorities, this
00:05:23is one of the deadliest shipwrecks ever
00:05:26recorded. About 82 people survived,
00:05:29and dozens are still missing. On board were
00:05:33women, men, but also children, so the IOM is working
00:05:36with local authorities, particularly the Obock prefecture,
00:05:39which coordinates operations on site. So the
00:05:43first survivors encountered were taken care of by the. Despite the war
00:05:46raging in Yemen, many migrants attempted to reach this
00:05:50country, hoping then to continue their journey to the rich
00:05:53Gulf countries. According to the International Organization for
00:05:57Migration, the majority were from Ethiopia. One of the
00:06:01survivors stated that they came from the Tigray region in the north of the country, where
00:06:05fighting resumed last month between government forces and rebel
00:06:10the year, 178,000 people have arrived in Djibouti from
00:06:14Ethiopia, fleeing difficult living conditions. The IOM
00:06:18calls for their protection to be strengthened.
00:06:21We can no longer tolerate these deaths. Safe
00:06:25and legal pathways save lives. I call on governments and
00:06:28donors to act before another shipwreck occurs.
00:06:32This migratory route, one of the most dangerous in the
00:06:35world, is also used in the other direction. More than
00:06:383,700 people fleeing Yemen have embarked for Djibouti
00:06:42until last week.
00:06:46Also in the news this morning, the burning issue in the Horn of Africa
00:06:50where tensions are rising between Ethiopia and Eritrea. These
00:06:53migrants are fleeing this conflict. The Ethiopian army continues its offensive in
00:06:56the Tigray region. Eritrean troops reportedly entered
00:07:00the sector in recent days. The two countries accuse each other
00:07:04of aggression. Asmara issued a declaration of war and seized the
00:07:42resumed between the Addis Ababa army and the Tigray People's Liberation Front
00:07:46or TPLF. At the end of September, the rebels of this
00:07:50northern Ethiopian state launched a major offensive
00:07:53against the central government, taking control of several
00:07:57localities in the region. Addis Ababa accuses Eritrea of
00:08:01supporting the TPLF. This week, several thousand Eritrean
00:08:04soldiers were reportedly deployed in the region without official
00:08:08confirmation from Asmara. An act of aggression for Ethiopia, which
00:08:12led to strikes against its neighbor's troops in the name of legitimate
00:08:15defense. Eritrea, for its part, appealed to the United Nations. Eritrea
00:08:21to strongly condemn Ethiopia's deplorable
00:08:24declaration of war against Eritrea and to take
00:08:28appropriate deterrent measures against it in accordance with Chapter
00:08:327 of the United Nations Charter. This
00:08:35escalation raises fears of a new war between the two neighbors, who had already
00:08:39clashed between 1998 and
00:08:412000, then from 2020 to 2022.
00:08:45In recent days, the executive of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said it had
00:08:48regained control of most of the cities conquered by the rebels,
00:08:52including Mekelle, the capital of Tigray, a sign of a gradual
00:08:56return of federal authority.
00:09:00airport after weeks of interruption. On board the first
00:09:03aircraft were representatives of the central
00:09:05government.
00:09:07This question now: what is the United States' strategy regarding Ukraine and Russia?
00:09:11Today, the Supreme Commander of NATO forces in Europe will
00:09:15speak in Poland. This will be followed on our air. He is American, he must issue a warning
00:09:18to Moscow before his European partners. But
00:09:21Donald Trump, for his part, seems to take everyone by surprise by announcing
00:09:25on his social network an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and
00:09:28Russia. Surprised, Volodymyr Zelensky says he is ready to accept it
00:09:37True Social that Donald Trump announced this
00:09:40Sunday, a... A bilateral energy ceasefire would have been
00:09:44accepted by Ukraine and Russia with immediate
00:09:47effect. The American president gave no
00:09:51details on the terms of this announced truce, but this statement
00:09:55comes the day after the criticism he made against Zelensky,
00:09:58reproaching Kyiv for its attacks against Russian refineries. These
00:10:02would result, according to Donald Trump, in increased diesel prices in the
00:10:06United States. He also stated that Ukraine should
00:10:09elect a new president, which.
00:10:25escalation to spare the energy sector, an energy ceasefire on both sides, and
00:10:29tell Putin to grant us two months, 60 days of a
00:10:32total ceasefire, 60 days to organize elections,
00:10:36of course, we will accept the choice of our people, whatever
00:10:39it may be.
00:10:42already very tense detention on Friday when the American
00:10:45president announced an agreement between the United States and Russia for
00:10:49the massive purchase of Russian diesel, accompanied by
00:10:52an easing of sanctions against Moscow. With this
00:10:55agreement, Donald Trump prioritizes the midterm
00:10:58elections, for which his party is struggling, notably
00:11:02due to rising fuel prices. First,
00:11:06300,000 tons of diesel on the American and global market,
00:11:08a very small quantity according to specialists,
00:11:11given American demand. Refineries are mostly
00:11:15disrupted by the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz and the war in the
00:11:19Middle East initiated by the United States.
00:11:22So, with this announcement of an energy ceasefire between
00:11:26Ukraine and Russia, Donald Trump surprised everyone, but the US president
00:11:30has his own agenda. In a little over 3 weeks, the midterm elections
00:11:34could cost him dearly politically, and the price of fuel at the pump is a major
00:11:43is rising in the United States as the midterm elections
00:11:46approach. Short of solutions in the Middle East, Donald Trump is
00:11:49rushing to Moscow by announcing an energy
00:11:53ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. He wants to restore
00:11:57Russian oil capacities and drive down global
00:11:59prices. You see, President Trump came
00:12:03to power with a mandate to work for the American people,
00:12:07and that's a good thing for the American people, to lower diesel
00:12:10prices. Since the beginning of the year, Russian
00:12:14diesel exports have fallen by about 40%, due to
00:12:18intensified long-range Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries
00:12:21like here in Moscow. Half of the country's refining
00:12:25capacity was even out of service in August 2026,
00:12:28according to a Washington Post investigation. Damage
00:12:32that forced Moscow to import oil from India,
00:12:35ration its use, and freeze its diesel
00:12:39exports. The cessation of Ukrainian strikes would allow facilities
00:12:42to be repaired and production to resume. In
00:12:45anticipation, Trump on Friday lifted US sanctions on Russian
00:12:49diesel with an agreement allowing Russia to deliver
00:12:5230,000 tons of diesel as early as October, 50,000 tons in
00:12:56November, and up to 1 million thereafter. But for
00:12:59Ukraine, taken by surprise by the American announcement, any ceasefire
00:13:03must involve an end to Russian bombing of power plants
00:13:06and heating installations in the
00:13:08country.
00:13:11Ukraine is ready to refrain from striking Russian
00:13:14energy infrastructure,
00:13:18similar willingness, as well as on the agreement concluded by the US president
00:13:22on this matter. We welcome this agreement.
00:13:55but which does not hide the dissensions within the French left, while the far right
00:13:58is predicted to win by all the polls. Raphaël Glucksmann reminded
00:14:02this in his first statement.
00:14:10Raphaël Glucksmann, a 46-year-old journalist by training,
00:14:13is the son of André Glucksmann,
00:14:17rights who campaigned for a long time in the Communist Party before becoming
00:14:21a fervent critic of it and being classified as a neoconservative.
00:14:36a position he held until 2013 after a first political experience in
00:14:40France, also on the right, with the Liberal Alternative
00:14:43Party, Raphaël Glucksmann swung towards the left and in
00:14:472019 he was elected MEP in the European elections with
00:14:51the Place Publique movement, which he co-founded 1 year earlier.
00:14:55Re-elected in 2024, he became one of the most prominent
00:14:59figures of the moderate left in Brussels. Yesterday,
00:15:03hatred won in France and in
00:15:05Europe. So, it's time today to
00:15:09remember that we are committed to the rights and humanist
00:15:12principles that underpin European construction,
00:15:15it's time to stand up. These
00:15:19Ukraine, the Uyghurs, or the fight against Russian
00:15:23interference. But his social-democratic and reformist
00:15:27line draws criticism from across the left,
00:15:29notably from Jean-Luc Mélenchon, with whom he
00:15:33refuses any alliance. There will be no
00:15:35agreement with the Francisme, but there will be an agreement with the democratic
00:15:39left, with the republican left, and we will win
00:15:42the presidential elections, I am absolutely convinced of that.
00:15:46Raphaël Glucksmann wants to be the candidate for a break with what he
00:15:49calls Jean-Luc Mélenchon's hegemony over the French
00:15:52left and calls for the union of forces to fight against what
00:15:56he describes as his eternal enemy, the far
00:15:59right. In brief, Simon may not make landfall
00:16:03in Mexico and will ultimately continue its course at sea before
00:16:06weakening. The cyclone is moving parallel to the Pacific
00:16:09coast with an intensity of 4/5, but it is expected
00:16:13to spare many Mexicans. If its winds are offshore,
00:16:16however, rain is falling on coastal cities, and floods are, for
00:16:19example, reported around
00:16:30are still striking Saudi Arabia. The latest drones and missiles fell overnight
00:16:34on the airports of Riyadh and Damas. The toll: at
00:16:37least one dead, 11 injured. This is in addition to the 13 dead and 309 injured from
00:16:41the weekend. Donald Trump does not rule out supporting the Saudis against
00:16:45the Houthis. And Raphaël Glucksmann
00:16:49left primary. The MEP was designated as a candidate in the
00:16:52first round with 66% of the votes, far ahead of his
00:16:55opponents. With the leader of Place Publique, the Socialist Party will not have a candidate
00:16:59from its ranks to represent it in the presidential election on April
00:17:18Glucksmann in the social-democratic primary in the first round. And
00:17:21Le Parisien today in France announces a chaotic victory for the
00:17:25head of Place Publique, who now sees his path to the presidency
00:17:28clearing. A victory for Raphaël Glucksmann and a crushing defeat for
00:17:32the head of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faure, his main opponent. The
00:17:36Socialist Party, as you said, will not present a candidate from its ranks for
00:17:40this presidential election, and this is a first in its
00:17:43history. The death of the Socialist Party, according to Le Figaro,
00:17:46the question is now posed. In the immediate term, there is no doubt
00:17:50that Raphaël Glucksmann would have achieved an ideological
00:17:53and strategic victory by refusing an alliance with La
00:17:57France Insoumise. With his "never again LFI,"
00:18:01the MEP, as we know, hopes to convince left-wing and centrist
00:18:03voters that he is capable of preventing a Mélenchon-Marine
00:18:07Le Pen duel in the second round. But to win this bet, Libération believes
00:18:11that Raphaël Glucksmann will have to convince left-wing voters,
00:18:15so seduced by Emmanuel Macron, to return to
00:18:19their original family, a left that he presents as non-hysterical,
00:18:22non-Poutinist, and above all very pro-European.
00:18:26Glucksmann, plebiscited, and after the polls
00:18:30predict that some in his camp will not hesitate to
00:18:33dynamite this launchpad of the primary for the rest of his
00:18:37campaign. It is better that their elected officials do not count too
00:18:41much on the support of the Socialist Party leadership,
00:18:45warns the newspaper, and the hardest part is yet to come,
00:18:48starting with the battle with Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The leader of La France Insoumise held
00:18:52a rally yesterday in Auvergne where he presented himself as the
00:18:55spokesperson for the high school student movement, mobilized for weeks
00:18:59now. According to Le Figaro, all generations were there, but the youngest,
00:19:03sometimes far from voting age, were numerous. These
00:19:06young people assure that they are neither manipulable nor
00:19:10manipulated. They want "Parcoursup to burn," I quote them,
00:19:13the platform for access to higher education that Jean-Luc
00:19:16Mélenchon promises to abolish if elected.
00:19:20In the meantime, L'Humanité indicates that a national high school student
00:19:24coordination met this weekend to try to organize
00:19:27the continuation of the mobilization for this week, a week that
00:19:31promises to be under high police tension, according to L'Huma. But will
00:19:34the movement survive the school holidays? The
00:19:38causes of the malaise, in any case, are there, they are
00:19:41deep, lasting. Le Parisien reports on a survey
00:19:44by Action Contre la Faim which indicates that 13% of
00:19:47French people surveyed declare that they sometimes,
00:19:50or often, do not have enough to eat. And this is a
00:19:54proportion, Damien, that reaches 25%
00:19:56for 18-24 year olds, as evidenced by the endless
00:20:00queues of students in front of university restaurants
00:20:04for €1 meals, or
00:20:13on Saturday to prevent gatherings. But in addition to a
00:20:16massive security deployment, Indian authorities arrested hundreds
00:20:20of members of the Dalit People's Party, who are still protesting
00:20:24against the removal of some 130 million
00:20:28people from the electoral lists, particularly
00:20:31Muslims and people from vulnerable backgrounds, and who are generally
00:20:35unfavorable to Narendra Modi's BJP.
00:20:39Arrests whose legality was challenged by the Supreme Court,
00:20:43according to The Hindu. For its part, the newspaper
00:20:46asks the government not to undermine the fundamental
00:20:50right to freedom of assembly and peaceful demonstration,
00:20:53not to, I quote, abuse its power against its own
00:20:57citizens. Despite the repression, the arrest and then the
00:21:00release of one of the main leaders of the movement,
00:21:04Abhijit, says that the Dalit People's Party, quoted by the
00:21:08Financial Times, defies the government: "You have
00:21:11forgotten what Dalits do best, survive. We
00:21:14will return." For the New York Times, the movement constitutes
00:21:18in any case a challenge without precedent for Narendra Modi, although he has
00:21:22long managed to both discredit and
00:21:25isolate his opponents. The newspaper evokes a generational
00:21:28challenge for the Indian prime minister and his party, which
00:21:32seems, I quote, disconcerted by this
00:21:35generation that reacts poorly to
00:21:44carrying a large cargo of explosives raises
00:21:48many questions this morning. Photos of these seized explosives are on the front page
00:21:52of the Lebanese daily Al Jumua, which cites a source according to which these
00:21:55explosives contained metallic pellets similar to those
00:21:59used in political assassinations of personalities
00:22:02in the past. Hezbollah once again at the heart of an
00:22:06explosive affair. L'Orient Le Jour wonders who these explosives
00:22:10were intended for and for what purpose. It mentions an affair that
00:22:13rekindles concerns related to political assassinations that have
00:22:17bloodied Lebanon and that represent a new test for the
00:22:20authority of the Lebanese state, a state
00:22:23that is struggling more than ever to provide for the basic
00:22:26needs of its population. L'Humanité reports on recent
00:22:30UN data, Damien, according to which 14% of
00:22:33Lebanese need help to cover their food needs.
00:22:37Hélène, a final word about the call from the World With Women movement,
00:22:41a movement that proposes that women take a day off tomorrow with the support of committed
00:22:45men. Yes, to quit their jobs to help society
00:22:50the absence of women. Le Parisien today in France reminds us that this
00:22:54initiative was born in 1975
00:22:57in Iceland and specifies that this mobilization will
00:23:00take place here tomorrow, so in France,
00:23:03on the same day as the examination of the comprehensive law against sexist
00:23:06and sexual violence. Two figures make me
00:23:10reflect, not to say turn dizzy: 74
00:23:1374 and up to 72% of household
00:23:17tasks are still performed by women, that's 60. 31
00:23:20billion hours that never appear on
00:23:24any payslip. We are indeed in 2026, and a
00:23:35doors today. It will be inaugurated in a few minutes by Emmanuel Macron, who
00:23:39must notably emphasize European preference,
00:23:42vehicle electrification, and innovation. European
00:23:46preference versus rare vehicles. Chinese and the standoff between Brussels and
00:23:50Beijing, electrification, innovation, it could simply go
00:23:53through the return of the great classics in electric version, so Citroën,
00:23:57relaunches the 2CV, just unveiled the concept of this French automotive
00:24:01myth which should return to the roads
00:29:0825 years ago, Sierra Leone was ravaged by war,
00:29:14Africa has known. The Kono district is a
00:29:18region where diamonds have been found for over a
