00:00:00to see on France 24 and our social
00:00:03networks.
00:00:08struggles, the defense of 7:30 AM here in Paris, welcome to France 24, headlining this Monday, Volodimir
00:00:11Zelensky who denounces a Russian strike against a Ukrainian
00:00:14power plant this Sunday. This strike comes despite Donald Trump's announcement, which surprised
00:00:18everyone this weekend: an energy ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow.
00:00:22The statement surprised the Ukrainian president, while the United States has just concluded an
00:00:26agreement on the purchase of Russian diesel. What is Kyiv's reaction?
00:00:30We'll see that in a moment with our correspondent Guilliver Crag, right after this
00:00:33Guilliver. Yemen's Houthis struck Saudi Arabia all weekend,
00:00:37and the latest drones and missiles fell overnight on the airports of
00:00:41Riyadh and Damam. The toll is at least one dead and 11 injured, adding
00:00:45to the 13 dead and 309 injured from Saturday. Donald Trump
00:00:48does not rule out supporting the Saudis against the Houthis. We will
00:00:52analyze all of this in a moment with Antoine Mariotti, and then
00:00:55Raphaël Glucksmann largely won the Social-Democrat left primary.
00:01:00The MEP was designated as a candidate from the
00:01:02Despite his efforts, several sections of first round with 66 % of the votes, far ahead of his
00:01:05opponents. With the leader of Place Publique, the PS will thus
00:01:09not have a candidate from its ranks to represent it in the presidential election in the first
00:01:12round on April 18th.
00:01:26To start this edition, this question: what is the strategy of the states towards
00:01:30Ukraine and Russia? Today, the Supreme Commander of NATO forces in
00:01:34Europe will speak in Poland. You can
00:01:37follow him on our channel. He is American, he must issue a warning to Moscow
00:01:40before his European partners. The problem is that on his side, Donald
00:01:44Trump seems to catch everyone off guard by announcing on his social
00:01:47network an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and
00:01:51Russia. Surprised, Volodymyr Zelensky says he is ready to
00:01:54accept it if Russia does the same. We're heading to
00:01:57Kyiv this morning, our correspondent Gulliver. Prague, good morning Gulliver,
00:02:01this announcement by Donald Trump really created a surprise in Ukraine,
00:02:05Gulliver,
00:02:08yes, surprise and confusion, except that it's a bit of a
00:02:12repeat of what happened on September 14th when Donald Trump
00:02:16local authorities, it is one also announced on his social network
00:02:18Truth Social a ceasefire on energy targets between
00:02:21Ukraine and Russia, and we quickly understood that in reality it was
00:02:25nothing. Apparently, the American president is trying to do
00:02:29the same thing, forcing his hand using a tactic that has
00:02:32already failed in the
00:02:34driving and non-compliance with the road past, but according to the American media Axios, which quotes an
00:02:38unnamed White House official, and I only saw this information
00:02:41in that media, but still, this
00:02:44official reportedly said that this ceasefire this time
00:02:47would only concern for now
00:02:51refineries, so Ukraine should stop bombing Russian
00:02:54refineries, and Russia could, if it wants, not
00:02:58bomb the only refinery that exists in Ukraine, the only major
00:03:01refinery anyway, which is in Kremenchuk and which has already
00:03:04been bombed, clearly it's an asymmetric
00:03:08ceasefire, Ukraine does not have a large
00:03:11refining industry, Ukraine imports oil,
00:03:15diesel and
00:03:18gasoline, it's Russia whose economy
00:03:22largely depends on this industry and which suffers from Ukrainian
00:03:26strikes, and Ukraine suffers from
00:03:29strikes on power plants, perhaps
00:03:33Ukraine could retaliate by starting to systematically
00:03:36strike power plants in Russia, but that's more something
00:03:40that affects civilians, and Ukraine tries to stick to
00:03:43strikes that seek to damage
00:03:46the economy and the war effort without having such a direct
00:03:50impact on civilians, with some exceptions nonetheless. In any
00:03:54case, it seems that this is a ceasefire that
00:03:56vote that does not hide the dissensions of
00:03:57modernization of Saudi has not at all been elaborated with discussions, not even intermediate ones by the Americans
00:04:00between the two parties, no details have been elaborated, the Ukrainians
00:04:03say they are absolutely ready to accept a ceasefire,
00:04:07if it has details, if it has terms, and if the Russians agree to stop
00:04:12Let's focus now. We're heading to striking their power plants and their electrical grid too. For now, that's not the case. Well, Gulliver understood well,
00:04:16for the President of the United States, the sinews of
00:04:19a philosopher highly committed to human war are diesel, and his agenda is obviously the
00:04:21mid-term elections, and he's adding pressure on Kyiv.
00:04:25According to the Financial Times, the Trump administration would be threatening Ukraine with stopping
00:04:29its arms deliveries if the country continues its deep strikes on Russian
00:04:33territory.
00:04:36This concerns the PURRL system
00:04:40(Priority Ukraine Requirements List) through
00:04:43which allied countries of Ukraine, NATO members,
00:04:45buy American weapons for
00:04:48Ukraine. Apparently, according to the Financial Times, White House
00:04:52officials would have sought to convince European
00:04:55countries to put pressure on Volodymyr Zelensky to stop
00:04:59targeting refineries in Russia, and otherwise
00:05:02they would stop that. They also might have stopped
00:05:06sharing their intelligence data, but Ukraine depends much
00:05:10less on American weapons at the moment and depends much less on American intelligence too, because
00:05:14France and the United Kingdom provide very important
00:05:17intelligence for targeting in Russia in
00:05:20Kyiv. I think we can also remember
00:05:24that the diesel in this agreement with Russia is really
00:05:27very, very, very little compared to American consumption.
00:05:31It's hard to believe that it's really about Donald Trump trying
00:05:34to lower prices. It's perhaps about giving
00:05:37his electorate the impression that he's doing something and that
00:05:41everything is the fault of the EU and not the fault of his war in Iran,
00:05:45so he has this pressure for Ukraine to stop targeting
00:05:48refineries in Russia, even if all analysts
00:05:52understand that even if Ukraine completely stopped striking
00:05:55refineries in Russia, it would not have a
00:05:58great impact on diesel prices at the
00:06:01pump in the United States. Gulliver Crag from Kyiv for France 24, thank
00:06:05you very much Gulliver. Another consequence of the war waged by Donald Trump against
00:06:09Iran, this new series of Houthi strikes on Saudi
00:06:12Arabia. Overnight, the Shiite fighters from Yemen claimed responsibility for the ballistic
00:06:16missile, cruise missile, and drone attacks on the
00:06:19Saudis. The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority currently reports one dead
00:06:23and 11 injured in this new attack, which adds to the 13
00:06:27dead and 309 injured from the weekend. You see these impressive images
00:06:31from surveillance video at Riyadh airport, which was severely hit. It is
00:06:35still closed until the end of the day, at least. We'll decipher this with
00:06:39Antoine Mariotti this morning. Hello Antoine, hello Damien. Saudi Arabia is in
00:06:43a very delicate situation for a few weeks now, and it's not getting
00:06:46any better. Yes, we see it in the images, it's obviously more and more
00:06:50problematic. These are attacks of unprecedented scale since 2014,
00:06:53that is, since the beginning of the clashes between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis.
00:06:57We must remember that Saudi Arabia went to Yemen to wage war against the Houthis
00:07:01and failed to defeat this rebellion, which
00:07:04is now much more than a rebellion. They have controlled the capital for years,
00:07:08Sana'a. They control the part of the territory with the most population
00:07:12of Yemen. It's a parallel government that is even far
00:07:15superior to the one that is officially recognized,
00:07:19notably by Saudi Arabia and by the international
00:07:22community. We can clearly see that they have a capacity, the Houthis, whom
00:07:26we still call the Yemeni rebellion, that the country is very
00:07:30poor, so we have the impression that they have three slingshots with them,
00:07:33but they manage to strike Saudi soil, Saudi territory,
00:07:37and target, target several times Riyadh airport,
00:07:40the main gateway into the country, so of course all of this is
00:07:44extremely problematic. They also manage to target very deliberately
00:07:48several, uh, storage facilities, notably from Aramco, the
00:07:52large Saudi hydrocarbon company
00:07:55which is a bit, if you will, the portfolio of Saudi
00:07:59Arabia, so that's extremely complicated. They
00:08:01manage to disrupt all of that by saying again,
00:08:05reaffirming, by the way, that taking a plane in Saudi Arabia is not safe, that you should not go
00:08:09to the airports of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, because
00:08:13obviously they are Muslims who do not want to target these two
00:08:16cities, but in any case it's problematic and we see that on the Saudi side,
00:08:20well, we are still particularly embarrassed and there is an absolute Saudi
00:08:24will not to show too much. These images that we
00:08:28see are still the first time we see them. It's been a week since
00:08:31Riyadh airport has been struck several
00:08:34times. We didn't see these images before. They are starting to
00:08:38filter out and they are terrible, we can clearly see that they are terrible. It's
00:08:42an admission of weakness that is also terrible for Saudi Arabia, which cannot
00:08:45defend itself against this Yemeni rebellion, which cannot
00:08:48defend the main gateway into the country, which is
00:08:51the capital's airport, Riyadh. We are also at the
00:08:55beginning of the high season of the pilgrimage for millions of
00:08:58Muslims. We
00:08:59see it in the videos recently.
00:09:03So, of course, all of this is very problematic.
00:09:06Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030, the great
00:09:09Arabia, well, that also takes a hit because he's looking for
00:09:13stability, he's trying to convince investors, to develop
00:09:17tourism, and then boom, we see with these images that it's
00:09:21extremely problematic and it's been a week that we've been seeing small images of smoke
00:09:25or other things, so it's complicated. Riyadh, we see, has much
00:09:29more to lose than the Houthis, even if it's far from a walk in the
00:09:32park for the Houthis and we talk about what's happening in Riyadh but there are also ongoing battles on
00:09:36Yemeni soil with, according to the Houthis, 124 Saudi
00:09:40airstrikes this weekend against their
00:09:43positions and the Americans, historical allies of Saudi Arabia, there have
00:09:46been statements by Donald Trump, intentions, but not much
00:09:50more for now. Be wary of Donald Trump's statements, I'm not
00:09:53telling you anything new, because they go one day in one direction and 2 minutes later in
00:09:57the other. He said that these strikes, that these attacks
00:10:00against Saudi Arabia were not acceptable, that he was going to
00:10:03speak with MBS Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown
00:10:06Prince and de facto leader of the
00:10:10country, but we must also remember that he refused
00:10:13to intervene last month, Donald Trump, when the Saudis called
00:10:16the Americans for help, saying "Beware, the Houthis have
00:10:19decided, since the conflicts had resumed between the
00:10:22two since July, that they were taking a new turn, that if you want, when you
00:10:26have Saudi Arabia on one side, you have the Strait of Hormuz to export hydrocarbons, and
00:10:30we know what has been happening for months, and on the other side you have the Strait of Bab-el-Mandeb,
00:10:34and the Houthis had headed towards
00:10:37Bab-el-Mandeb to retake the positions of the official
00:10:40government to be able to block the second export
00:10:43route for the Saudis and thus financially
00:10:46drain them and deal them a blow. It's a three-cushion billiards shot with the
00:10:49Iranians, the Houthis being allies of the Iranians,
00:10:53but the Americans had refused to help them, so the Houthis managed to take control of the
00:10:57coastline. They lost a part of the territory
00:11:00a week ago, but finally the strait is
00:11:03still not secure, and we can clearly see anyway that the Americans
00:11:07cannot protect their allies in the region since February, who have been struck many
00:11:11times by the Iranians in retaliation for the American-Israeli
00:11:14strikes, so the credibility of the United States on
00:11:17that issue has taken a real hit. They can intervene
00:11:21symbolically or occasionally, but the problem is that if you don't
00:11:24have a very concrete effect afterwards that really stops the Houthis,
00:11:28then it will once again be a hard blow to American
00:11:31credibility and it will be an almost useless blow, so it's a risky
00:11:34gamble to embark on that path, especially since we see
00:11:38that neither of the two parties, neither Saudi Arabia and the official
00:11:42Yemeni forces, nor the Houthis on the other side, have the
00:11:45capacity to make the other surrender quickly. So it can
00:11:48last. I remind you once again that the Saudis had been in Yemen for years, they never managed to
00:11:52overcome the Houthis, so it's not
00:11:56a few strikes, even if they are strong at the moment and important,
00:11:59that will overcome the Houthis. Thank
00:12:03you very much, Antoine. Despite this catastrophic situation on the ground, they prefer
00:12:07to go to Yemen rather than stay in their war-torn country. At
00:12:10least 139 migrants died in the shipwreck of an overloaded boat over
00:12:14the weekend off Djibouti. 84 people are
00:12:18still missing. They are mainly Ethiopian migrants who fled the
00:12:22war in the Tigray region. Alice Broga. The
00:12:25sea has washed up a dozen bodies on this beach in
00:12:29Djibouti, north of Obock. The day before, a
00:12:31boat carrying 305 migrants capsized off the coast
00:12:35as they were heading towards Yemen to the east. According to
00:12:41of the deadliest shipwrecks ever recorded. Approximately
00:12:4482 people survived and dozens are still missing.
00:12:48Aboard were women, men, and also
00:12:51children. So the IOM is working with local
00:12:55authorities, particularly the prefecture of Obock, which coordinates
00:12:58operations on site. The first survivors encountered were taken
00:13:02care of by the... despite the war raging in Yemen, many
00:13:06migrants tried to reach this
00:13:09continue their journey to the rich Gulf countries. According
00:13:12to the International Organization for Migration, the majority
00:13:16were from Ethiopia. One of the survivors stated that he came from the
00:13:20Tigray region in the north of the country where fighting resumed last
00:13:23month between government forces and rebel groups.
00:13:27Since the beginning of the year, 178,000 people have
00:13:30arrived in Djibouti from Ethiopia, fleeing difficult
00:13:33living conditions. The IOM calls for strengthening their
00:13:36protection. We can no longer tolerate these
00:13:40deaths. Safe and legal pathways save
00:13:43lives. I call on governments and donors to
00:13:46act before another shipwreck occurs.
00:13:50This migratory route, one of the most dangerous in the world, is also used
00:13:54in the other direction. More than 3,700 people fleeing
00:13:57Yemen embarked for Djibouti until last
00:14:00week. In France, the first round of the presidential election is
00:14:04soon, on April 18th. Raphaël Glucksmann will be the candidate of the Social-Democratic
00:14:07Left, of the alliance between the Socialist Party and
00:14:11his formation Place Publique. The MEP largely won the
00:14:14primary organized this weekend. 66% of the votes, ahead of Olivier
00:14:18Faure's 14. A clear
00:14:21the French left, while the far-right is
00:14:25winning in all polls. Glucksmann
00:14:28recalled it in his latest statements,
00:14:30Alexandre.
00:14:33He enters his first presidential race. Raphaël
00:14:37Glucksmann, a journalist by training, 46 years old,
00:14:40and the son of André Glucksmann,
00:14:44rights, who was active in the Communist Party before
00:14:48becoming a fervent critic and being classified as a
00:14:50neoconservative. Raphaël Glucksmann, for his part, entered the
00:14:54international political scene in
00:14:582009 by becoming an advisor to the liberal Georgian President
00:15:00Mikheil Saakashvili, a position he held until
00:15:032013. After a first political experience in
00:15:07France, there also on the right with the Liberal Alternative
00:15:10party, Raphaël Glucksmann shifted to the left and in
00:15:142019, he was elected MEP in the European elections
00:15:17with the Place Publique movement which he co-founded 1 year
00:15:21earlier. Re-elected in 2024, he became one of the leading figures.
00:15:37rights and humanist principles that underpin European
00:15:40integration, it's time to stand
00:15:43up, these
00:15:46Ukraine, of the Uyghurs, or the
00:15:49fight against Russian interference, but his social
00:15:52democratic and reformist line earns him criticism across the left,
00:15:56notably from Jean-Luc Mélenchon with whom he
00:15:59refuses any alliance, there will be no
00:16:02agreement with the France Insoumise, but there will be an agreement with the democratic
00:16:05left, with the republican left.
00:16:08And we will win the presidential elections, I am absolutely
00:16:11convinced of it. Raphael Glucksmann wants to be the candidate for the
00:16:15break with what he calls Jean-Luc Mélenchon's hegemony over
00:16:18the French left and calls for the union of forces to fight against
00:16:22what he calls his eternal enemy, the far
00:16:26right. A major fire in central
00:16:29Paris last night and a smell of burning throughout the
00:16:33capital. The Marché des Enfants Rouges has
00:16:36gone up in smoke. According to the mayor of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th
00:16:40arrondissements, the place has therefore been ravaged by the
00:16:43flames in recent hours. Few details for now, but you see,
00:16:47a large deployment of firefighters from
00:16:51Paris. We will update you in our morning editions as soon as we know
00:16:54more. Let's go to Nepal for now, with
00:16:58equally impressive images. Search for missing people began
00:17:02with sunrise earlier today in accessible regions. This Sunday, central
00:17:06Nepal was again hit by torrential rains, floods, and mudslides.
00:17:10At least five people are missing after this
00:17:13sudden river flood you see here, a spectacular flood just 6 weeks
00:17:17after floods that killed more than 1,400 people and left
00:17:205,000 missing. Here's the report with Thomas
00:17:23Kuni. A giant
00:17:27wave,
00:17:30unstoppable,
00:17:32a torrent of mud pours into this valley and carries everything
00:17:36in its path. In a few seconds, villages
00:17:40engulfed before helpless
00:17:42residents.
00:17:52This sudden flood was caused by a dam breaking
00:17:55due to a landslide. Nothing
00:17:59resisted,
00:18:02not even this metal bridge. It gave way
00:18:05to the force of the current.
00:18:08Viewed from another angle, we can see the extent of the
00:18:10disaster.
00:18:14The disaster occurred in northern
00:18:18Nepal in the Gorkha
00:18:20region. Residents had time to take
00:18:23refuge higher up. Here, this was our
00:18:26village.
00:18:29Everyone was screaming, we took refuge in the
00:18:31mountains.
00:18:34Here in the center of the image, other survivors.
00:18:38Very quickly, the army was deployed to rescue them. Helicopters
00:18:41fly over a devastated area. Entire
00:18:45sections of cliffs have
00:18:47collapsed. We can clearly distinguish here
00:18:51the trajectory of the mudslide. According to an initial assessment
00:18:54by the authorities, at least 5
00:18:57people are reported missing.
00:19:017:49 AM here in Paris, an update on our top stories. Volodymyr
00:19:04Zelensky denounces a Russian strike against a Ukrainian
00:19:08power plant this Sunday, a strike despite Donald Trump's announcement which surprised everyone over the
00:19:12weekend, an energy ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow. The
00:19:16statement notably surprised the Ukrainian president while the United States itself has just
00:19:19concluded an agreement on the purchase of Russian diesel. The
00:19:23Houthis of Yemen struck Saudi Arabia all weekend. The latest drones
00:19:27and missiles fell in the last hours overnight on the airports of Riyadh
00:19:31and Damam. The toll from these latest strikes is at least one dead and
00:19:3511 injured. This adds to 13 deaths and
00:19:38309 injuries from Saturday. Donald Trump does not rule out
00:19:42supporting the Saudis against
00:19:43the Houthis.
00:19:50India, a country that has the second largest road network in the world, stretching
00:19:53over 6 million kilometers. Behind
00:19:57these figures, there are also tragedies. India records one of the highest road
00:20:01mortality rates in the world, with one death every 3 minutes, and danger
00:20:05comes from everywhere. Drunk drivers, speeding, poorly maintained
00:20:08roads. Many drivers simply ignore the highway code.
00:20:11Beyond the human cost, these accidents cost the country
00:20:153% of its GDP each year. Focus by
00:20:19Alvarez, Navodita Kumari, and
00:20:21Suelkan.
00:20:30In India, the curse of the dowry still weighs heavily on
00:20:33women: money, jewelry, a car for their
00:20:37daughters to marry. Parents must comply with the demands of the in-laws.
00:20:40From the outset, the husband and his family set their conditions. You must
00:20:44do this, you must give that, while the
00:20:47thriving marriage market continues. Without a dowry, the
00:20:50marriage can turn into a tragedy, and when these demands are not
00:20:53met, women often report being victims of physical
00:20:57violence, harassment, violence, sometimes
00:21:00death. To change things, some refuse the established
00:21:04order. We are also trying to make families understand
00:21:08that this practice is wrong. Things are changing slowly
00:21:11but
00:21:13surely.
00:21:16Reporter, to see on France 24.
00:21:30It's the densest urban network in the country.
00:21:3432,000 km of roads used by 15 million
00:21:37vehicles, in Delhi, traffic never stops.
00:21:41Cars, trucks, motorcycles, rickshaws,
00:21:44buses, and bicycles must coexist
00:21:47in the midst of chaos. This traffic
00:21:51represents a challenge for the police officers in charge of
00:21:53traffic.
00:21:57Some drivers violate the road code. They should have stopped
00:22:01there, but they continued to drive until here, so they are blocking
00:22:04traffic coming from the other direction, and I have to deal with these infractions. It takes
00:22:08time to fine everyone while continuing to regulate
00:22:11traffic.
00:22:14The Indian capital holds a sad record, with 5,000
00:22:17accidents and nearly 1,500 deaths on average per
00:22:21year. Delhi's roads are among the most deadly in the country. We
00:22:25are going to drive through Delhi for 2 hours to discover what truly
00:22:29endangers people's lives.
00:22:32Quickly, we observe that the most basic rules are not
00:22:35respected. Motorists change lanes without
00:22:38using their turn signals. The sidewalks, supposed to be reserved for
00:22:42pedestrians, are used by two-wheelers. Many motorcyclists
00:22:45ride without helmets, often with multiple people on the same vehicle. Not
00:22:49to mention
00:23:21deaths often linked to reckless
00:23:24the road, even the simplest measures, like seatbelts,
00:23:28are often ignored. It was only
00:23:31in 2022 that the Indian government made it mandatory to wear
00:23:34a seatbelt in the back after a billionaire died in a
00:23:37collision because he wasn't
00:23:39buckled up.
00:23:44In 2023, two-wheeler riders accounted for
00:23:47half of the 17,000 people killed. and on
00:23:50Indian roads, the lack of helmet use or the use
00:23:54of cheap helmets sold for a few euros and not compliant is
00:23:58regularly pointed out. in
00:24:00Mumbai, Karan Desai is a road safety instructor,
00:24:04he warns new motorcyclists against these poor-quality
00:24:07equipments. there are different types of helmets
00:24:11on the Indian market,
00:24:14look at this low-end helmet, when a car runs over it, it breaks
00:24:18completely, however, a good quality helmet, as you can
00:24:22see, absorbs the weight of the car.
00:24:25Karan primarily addresses young people. For him, their lack
00:24:29of driving experience makes them the most vulnerable group to
00:24:31accidents. Most road deaths, most
00:24:35accidents concern 18-35 year olds, so if we
00:24:38target them and they retain what we teach them during this training, it will clearly
00:24:41help them once on the road to feel safer and it will also
00:24:45protect other users.
00:24:47The idea is really to transmit
00:24:50a culture of safety from the start, prevention campaigns
00:24:53may be multiplying, another scourge
00:24:57continues to claim lives on Indian roads, very often,
00:25:00the intervention of emergency services is too late.
00:25:03Swarnendubos lost his best friend in a road drama in
00:25:062023. Piuche, 30 years old,
00:25:10was riding a motorcycle when another driver hit him from
00:25:13behind. Seriously injured in the head, he remained on the ground for
00:25:1730 minutes without anyone coming to his aid.
00:25:20the ambulance never
00:25:22arrived,
00:25:25no one stopped to help him,
00:25:28a few moments for my friend, not even 5
00:25:30minutes,
00:25:37we really need to show more
00:25:38empati
00:25:43in recent years, the Indian government has made road
00:25:46safety,
00:25:48particularly in its infrastructures, the
00:25:52highway network has grown from 9,000 to 140,000
00:25:55km, but several projects quickly showed
00:25:59construction defects, turning some roads into
00:26:02death traps, this is what Chaitanya
00:26:05Patil found, this 29-year-old engineer has made it his
00:26:09mission to identify the multiple obstacles that can endanger
00:26:12the lives of
00:26:13motorists,
00:26:18there you see this barrier was hit by a vehicle and there are no
00:26:22reflective elements left, so
00:26:25if it stays on the ground, other drivers risk not seeing the
00:26:27detour, that's why when I come across them during my
00:26:30travels.
00:27:05the expressway have still not been repaired. This is one of the
00:27:08places I reported during my walk, they did do some work here,
00:27:12but this section was not renovated. If a motorist
00:27:16arrives at high speed on this road, imagine the accident that this will cause. The
00:27:20vehicle will fall into this gap, this situation must stop, that's why I keep
00:27:23appealing to the authorities, they must intervene and repair this, it's their
00:27:27duty. The government has set itself the goal of
00:27:30halving the number of deaths on the roads by 2030,
00:27:34by relying on artificial intelligence, but without detailing
00:27:38concrete measures, a colossal challenge, on
00:27:41average, one person dies every 3 minutes on Indian
00:27:44roads,
00:27:48we are the family, it's getting worse in urban areas with
00:27:51Juliette on rfi,
00:27:54yeah, to go 5 km, how long does it take you, it
00:27:58takes me 21 minutes, 21 minutes, and you, not a second,
00:28:0121 minutes. 21 minutes 40 ok and
00:28:04you, well 2 and a
00:28:06half days
00:28:10we're still there if you start
00:28:11now
00:28:14but that's it I told you that's it, you're going to start again, you're going to start again, that's it, that's
00:28:17it
00:28:21urban legends to see on
00:28:23France24.
00:30:078am in Paris, welcome to France 24, headlining this Monday, can French
00:30:11and European car manufacturers compete with the Chinese
00:30:14industry? The question will be widely discussed in the aisles of the
00:30:18Paris Motor Show inaugurated in a moment by Emmanuel
00:30:21Macron. The head of state must emphasize precisely the electrification
00:30:24of vehicles, European preference,
00:30:27innovation, Friday Beijing agreed to curb its exports of hybrid
00:30:31cars to the EU, we will find Christophe in this
00:30:35standstill in a moment to take stock. Raphaël Luxman
00:30:38largely won the social-democratic left primary.
00:30:42The MEP designated candidate in the first round, 66% of the
00:30:45votes far ahead of his opponents. With the leader of
00:30:48Place Publique, the PS will not have a candidate from its ranks to represent it in the
00:30:52presidential election on April 18. And now, can the left
00:30:56reconcile before an election where the extreme.
