00:00:11Hello everyone, nice to see you again on France 24, welcome, if you're just joining us,
00:00:15welcome to Paris Live, we're off for 3 hours of non-stop news, here are the main headlines, and we
00:00:19will come back to the very numerous reactions,
00:00:23the energy truce announced last night by Donald Trump, the European
00:00:27driving and non-compliance with the traffic Union will support such a ceasefire between Ukraine and... Russia
00:00:30as soon as it holds. Since the American
00:00:33president's surprising announcement, neither side has provided
00:00:37details, nor confirmed the initiative, the strikes on Ukraine have
00:00:40mostly continued, that's what Anne Corpé will tell us in a moment. Hello Anne,
00:00:44in three weeks of midterm elections, Donald
00:00:48Trump would surely like to announce to the American people the end of the war in
00:00:51Ukraine, and also the end of the conflict in the Middle East, in the Gulf, the conflict
00:00:55is experiencing a real surge in intensity. This morning, an
00:00:58Emirati official called on the countries of the region to strengthen their collective
00:01:02security system. In recent hours, Yemeni rebels have
00:01:06claimed large-scale operations against notably Saudi
00:01:09airports.
00:01:12And Emmanuel Macron inaugurated this morning the 91st Mondial de
00:01:16l'Automobile, the event during which European manufacturers
00:01:20intend to resist the rampant competition from the
00:01:23Chinese. This morning, the Head of State highlighted three
00:01:26priorities: vehicle electrification, European
00:01:30preference, and of course innovation. We'll find Christophe Dancette on this, he's on site.
00:01:48Let's start with this latest information that has just reached us
00:01:51a few moments ago from the Bouches-du-Rhône: the
00:01:55principal of the Joseph Lacanal college in
00:01:58Aubagne, as well as a teacher, were injured this morning,
00:02:01injured by a gunshot, while a 14-year-old
00:02:05like we have done today, because at the end of was arrested.
00:02:08Consistent sources specify that the victims' lives are not
00:02:12in danger at this stage. The head of the establishment was hit by a
00:02:15shotgun blast of caliber 12. The student allegedly
00:02:18entered the establishment. An attack that occurred
00:02:22around 10 AM this morning.
00:02:25For now, no details on the reasons
00:02:28for this... And know that the Minister of the Interior,
00:02:32Laurent Nuniez, and the Minister of National Education, Édouard Jeffrey, will be
00:02:36on site this afternoon, that's what Matignon has just announced.
00:02:39And this reaction
00:02:43from the ministers on X this morning
00:02:46that evoked the unbridled violence
00:02:50of youth. "I'm going there," Édouard Jeffrey announced,
00:02:54we will obviously have the opportunity to come back to it a little
00:02:57later in our edition.
00:03:02European stock markets were in the green this morning at the opening thanks
00:03:06to the decline in oil. This is one of the consequences of Donald
00:03:10Trump's surprise announcement of an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Yesterday, the American president
00:03:14surprised with such an announcement, providing no details on the truce
00:03:17in question, which has not even been confirmed by either side. And on the
00:03:21ground, since the announcement, strikes are continuing, hence the skepticism
00:03:25expressed this morning by the Europeans. Details in images
00:03:28to start with Alice Brogat.
00:03:31At the pump, prices are soaring and discontent is rising in the United States
00:03:35as the midterm elections approach. Out of solutions
00:03:38in the Middle East, Donald Trump is rushing to
00:03:41Moscow by announcing an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and
00:03:45Russia. He wants to restore Russian oil capacities and lower
00:03:49world prices.
00:03:51You see, President Trump came
00:03:55it is the largest expansion of to power with a mandate to work for the American people, and that's a good thing for the American
00:03:58people.
00:04:02Since the beginning of the year, Russian diesel exports have
00:04:05fallen by about 40 %. The reason is
00:04:08the intensification of long-range Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries,
00:04:12as here in Moscow. Half of the country's
00:04:14refining capacity was even out of service in August
00:04:182026, according to a Washington Post investigation. Damage
00:04:22that pushed Moscow to import oil from India, ration
00:04:26its use, and freeze its diesel exports.
00:04:30The cessation of Ukrainian strikes would allow for the repair of facilities and the
00:04:33resumption of production. In anticipation, Trump lifted
00:04:39Europeans for American sanctions on Russian diesel on Friday with an agreement allowing Russia to deliver
00:04:42300,000 tons of diesel as early as October (50,000 tons) in
00:04:46November and up to 1 million thereafter. But for Ukraine,
00:04:50caught off guard by the American announcement, any ceasefire
00:04:53must involve the end of Russian bombardments on the country's power
00:04:56plants and heating facilities.
00:05:01Ukraine is ready to refrain from striking
00:05:04Russian energy infrastructure, and we count on the same
00:05:07disposition from Russia as well as on the agreement concluded
00:05:11by the President of the United States. In this regard, we welcome this
00:05:14agreement.
00:05:18Volodymyr Zelensky states that Russia struck several Ukrainian
00:05:22power plants on Sunday, disregarding Trump's
00:05:25announcement. As I told you, there have been many reactions
00:05:29since this American announcement. Ukraine, in particular, will respond if
00:05:32Russia does not respect an energy truce this winter.
00:05:36That's what Volodymyr Zelensky declared this morning.
00:05:40Right now, it's the Kremlin that's reacting in turn.
00:05:43Anne Corpe, hello. The Kremlin says, "Refuse to
00:05:47say if an energy truce is indeed in
00:05:50effect with Kyiv, adding, they prefer
00:05:54a lasting peace to a ceasefire." What should we understand from all
00:05:58of this? Well, that this truce seems to be an invention
00:06:01of Donald Trump. In any case, it seems to have caught the belligerents
00:06:05by surprise, and it has not translated into
00:06:09facts. But for Donald Trump, well, Donald Trump seems to live
00:06:12in a kind of parallel world where a repeated
00:06:16lie eventually becomes a reality. He is
00:06:20obviously primarily guided by domestic political
00:06:23considerations. Three weeks before midterm elections that promise to be
00:06:27very difficult for the Republican camp, he wants to show
00:06:30that he is making progress in a war he promised to
00:06:34resolve in 48 hours. And above all, he wants to convince his electorate that
00:06:38the rise in fuel prices is due
00:06:41to Ukraine's attacks on Russian infrastructure
00:06:45and certainly not to the war he launched against
00:06:48Iran. The price of a gallon of diesel in the
00:06:51United States has exceeded $6, compared to less
00:06:55than $4 last year, and that heavily weighs on
00:06:58Donald Trump's electorate. So, the announcement
00:07:02of this ceasefire, which can be described as fictitious, came,
00:07:06as we saw, after the lifting of sanctions also announced
00:07:09by Donald Trump on Russian diesel. But according to
00:07:13experts, this lifting of sanctions will not have a decisive
00:07:16impact on fuel prices because the volumes
00:07:20of diesel that Russia could put back on the market are
00:07:24insufficient to influence
00:07:27or change the situation regarding prices. And
00:07:31for now, the Kremlin has banned
00:07:34diesel exports. Donald
00:07:37Trump also stated that it was time for Ukraine
00:07:40to change and get a new
00:07:43president. All of this reminds us of the terrible
00:07:47altercation that took place between him and Volodymyr Zelensky
00:07:51in the Oval Office in February
00:07:532025, and it once again highlights Donald Trump's
00:07:57pro-Russian stance. Donald Trump's ties with Moscow
00:08:00are well documented. The American
00:08:04president is convinced that the only way to end the war is to
00:08:07make deals, business deals, with Russia. A
00:08:11month ago, he signed a bill that imposed new
00:08:15sanctions against Moscow and secondary sanctions against countries that
00:08:18buy Russian oil. But
00:08:22these measures depend exclusively on the goodwill
00:08:26of the White House. You mentioned sanctions, there are new sanctions that have just been
00:08:30adopted by the Europeans against
00:08:34Russian interests. The Europeans are very skeptical, they don't hide it, and they're tightening
00:08:37their ranks. Yes, so this morning, the EU foreign
00:08:41ministers formally confirmed
00:08:44the adoption of new sanctions against 1,600
00:08:48individuals and entities linked to Russia's war against Ukraine.
00:08:52According to Kaja Kallas, the head of European diplomacy,
00:08:55more than half of the targets of these
00:08:58measures are linked to the production chain of Russian
00:09:02ballistic missiles that are causing so much harm to Ukraine. She says
00:09:07the European sanctions list since the beginning of the war.
00:09:11Emmanuel Macron this morning reiterated
00:09:15that we must not give in to the Russian threat.
00:09:18The French President is due to meet with Donald Trump
00:09:21today. It must be said that Europe and the United States have rarely had
00:09:25such divergent positions on such an important
00:09:28crisis. And according to the Financial
00:09:31Times, this weekend, European leaders were assailed
00:09:34by calls from American officials who are threatening to
00:09:37suspend both the provision of
00:09:40American intelligence to Ukraine
00:09:43and to suspend the NATO-managed program that allows
00:09:46for the acquisition of American weapons paid for by
00:09:51Ukraine. And we will be following this
00:09:55in a few moments, in just under an hour
00:09:58now, this address by NATO, a
00:10:01message directly addressed to Moscow. The Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe
00:10:05will speak in the early afternoon, General
00:10:09Alexus Grenkewich. He is expected to present his
00:10:12theory of victory on the best way to defeat Russia in the event of an attack, a
00:10:16kind of warning to the Kremlin, accused of waging a hybrid war against
00:10:19European interests. We will, of course, bring you this speech
00:10:23live later. Thank you very much. As I told you, we are three weeks away from the
00:10:27midterm elections. Donald Trump would surely like to announce to the American
00:10:30people the end of the war in Ukraine, and also the end of the conflict in the Middle East, in
00:10:34the Gulf. The conflict is experiencing a real surge in intensity.
00:10:38This morning, a senior Emirati official called on the countries of the region to strengthen
00:10:42their collective security system. This initiative comes after a
00:10:45series of Houthi attacks against Riyadh. In recent
00:10:49hours, Yemeni rebels have claimed large-scale operations against
00:10:52Saudi airports and energy infrastructure.
00:10:56An escalation that even Iran said this
00:10:59morning
00:11:00it was concerned about.
00:11:03The 91st Paris Motor Show opens its
00:11:07doors, inaugurated by Emmanuel Macron this
00:11:11morning, during which European manufacturers intend to resist, as you know,
00:11:15the rampant competition from the Chinese. The
00:11:18Head of State highlighted earlier
00:11:22the three major priorities, we will go find them.
00:11:28So a show that was in a way kicked off
00:11:32by the Head of State
00:11:33earlier.
00:11:36Yes, a few moments ago he was here at this Citroën stand, the
00:11:40Head of State, whose last show this is, he who has been
00:11:44to all the editions of this World Expo since his arrival at
00:11:47the Élysée. A World Expo that has nevertheless experienced
00:11:50turbulence during President Macron's
00:11:53two terms, with a 2020 edition canceled due to
00:11:57COVID, a 2022 edition in a reduced format, but this 2026
00:12:01edition is really the return of this show, 60
00:12:04manufacturers, most of the European and French
00:12:07manufacturers are here, of course, Renault, Stelantis
00:12:10also with Citroën and the star of this
00:12:14show which is the 2CV that I am presenting to you here, a 2CV
00:12:172026 version, you know the 2CV, the
00:12:202CV, it's the most collected car by the French,
00:12:24here it is in an electric format, in a
00:12:272026 format, rather I would say 2028 because it will
00:12:31only be commercialized in 2 years at
00:12:34a reasonable price, less than €15,000, as the
00:12:38CEO of Citroën told us earlier. Other manufacturers
00:12:41present are obviously the Chinese who have come in large numbers, more than 20 brands
00:12:45are there in the aisles of Porte de Versailles, which is twice as many as
00:12:482 years ago. Chinese manufacturers who
00:12:51want to come to France, today it's 4% of sales in
00:12:55France, in 4 years it will perhaps be 16%, and they are
00:12:58presenting very innovative cars. And then
00:13:01regarding innovation, obviously everything here is almost electric, there are very few
00:13:05thermal cars. And then there are also autonomous cars,
00:13:09some of which will be able to circulate today and tomorrow and
00:13:12all week in the streets of Paris. That's quite innovative. We know about autonomous
00:13:16cars in the United States, we know about autonomous cars in
00:13:19Asia. Here in Paris, it's a first, and
00:13:22I haven't been able to
00:13:25test them, but I can assure you that I think it could
00:13:28be a technological challenge to pass
00:13:31alongside cyclists, alongside pedestrians, alongside this traffic. But someone
00:13:34from Xpeng, which is a Chinese brand that presents an autonomous vehicle, told me that it
00:13:38worked very well. Well, we hope to see you behind the wheel now,
00:13:41Christophe Dansette. Thank you very much for your report at the Mondial de l'Auto
00:13:45for France 24. That's it for the main news this
00:13:48midday.
00:13:49mi-journée.
00:14:11It's the densest urban network in the country.
00:14:1432,000 km of roads used by 15 million
00:14:18vehicles. In Delhi, traffic never stops.
00:14:21jamais.
00:14:24Cars. Trucks, motorcycles, rickshaws, buses, and bicycles must
00:14:27coexist in the middle of the chaos. Managing this
00:14:30traffic is a challenge for the traffic police.
00:14:34circulation.
00:14:38Some drivers violate the traffic code. They should have stopped
00:14:41there, but they kept going this far. So they're blocking
00:14:44traffic coming from the other direction. And I have to deal with these
00:14:47infractions. It takes time to fine everyone while continuing to regulate
00:14:51traffic.
00:14:54India holds a sad record, with 5,000
00:14:58accidents and nearly 1,500 deaths on average per year, Delhi's
00:15:02roads are among the deadliest in the country. We
00:15:06will drive through Delhi for 2 hours to discover what truly
00:15:09puts people's lives in danger.
00:15:12We quickly observe that the most basic rules are not
00:15:15respected. Drivers change lanes without
00:15:19using their turn signals. Sidewalks, which are supposed to be reserved for
00:15:22pedestrians, are used by two-wheelers. Many motorcyclists
00:15:26ride without helmets, often with multiple people on the same vehicle,
00:15:29not to mention U-turns in the middle of the road, often poorly
00:15:32indicated.
00:15:36I took off my helmet because as soon as it's
00:15:39especially when there are
00:15:40traffic jams,
00:15:44driving against traffic allows me to avoid traffic jams and save
00:15:48time.
00:15:51Every day, road accidents occupy a significant place in televised
00:15:55news.
00:16:01Deaths often linked to reckless
00:16:05code, even the simplest measures, like wearing a seatbelt,
00:16:08are often ignored. It was only
00:16:11in 2022 that the Indian government made it mandatory to wear a
00:16:15seatbelt in the back after the death of a millionaire in a
00:16:18collision when he was not buckled up.
00:16:21Cyrus Mistry and Jahangir died on the spot. In
00:16:252023, two-wheeler drivers accounted for half of the
00:16:2817,000 people killed on Indian roads. The absence
00:16:32of helmet use or the use of cheap helmets
00:16:36sold for a few euros and not compliant is regularly criticized.
00:16:39In Mumbai, Karan Desai is
00:16:42a road safety instructor. He warns new
00:16:46motorcyclists against these poor-quality equipments.
00:16:48There are different types of helmets
00:16:52on the Indian market.
00:16:54Look at this low-end helmet, when a car runs over it, it completely
00:16:58shatters. On the other hand, a good quality helmet, as you can see,
00:17:02absorbs the weight of the car.
00:17:06Karan primarily addresses young people. For him, their lack
00:17:09of driving experience makes them the most vulnerable group to accidents.
00:17:13Most road deaths, most accidents concern those
00:17:17aged 18-35, so if we target them and they retain what we teach
00:17:20them during this training, it will clearly help them feel more
00:17:24secure on the road, and it will also protect other
00:17:27users. The idea is really to instill
00:17:30in them a safety culture from the
00:17:32start. Prevention campaigns may be
00:17:35multiplying, but another scourge continues to claim lives on Indian
00:17:39roads. Very often, emergency services are too
00:17:42late. Swarnendu Bose lost his best
00:17:45friend in a road accident in 2023.
00:17:49Piyush, 30 years old, was riding a motorcycle when another
00:17:52driver hit him from behind. Seriously injured in the head, he lay
00:17:56on the ground for 30 minutes, with no one coming to his
00:18:00aid. The ambulance never
00:18:02arrived.
00:18:06No one stopped for them.
00:18:09No one took even a few moments for my friend, not even 5 minutes, they could have at least called the
00:18:12police. A life is clearly worth nothing on Indian roads
00:18:16today. We really need to show more
00:18:18empathy.
00:18:22In the last 10 years, the Indian government has made road
00:18:26safety one of its priorities,
00:18:28particularly by modernizing its infrastructure. The
00:18:32highway network has grown from 9,000 to 140,000
00:18:36km. But several projects quickly showed construction
00:18:39defects, turning some roads into deadly
00:18:43traps. This is what Chataniapatil
00:18:45found. This 29-year-old engineer
00:18:48has made it his mission to identify the many obstacles
00:18:52that can endanger the lives of
00:18:53motorists.
00:18:59There, you see, this barrier was hit by a vehicle,
00:19:02and there are no reflective elements left. So
00:19:05if it stays on the ground, other drivers might not see the
00:19:08detour. That's why when I come across them during my
00:19:11travels,
00:19:14I put them back in place. Last year, Chatania
00:19:18walked more than 500 km along the highway connecting the
00:19:21city of Mumbai to the Goa region, documenting on
00:19:25social media every pothole, every poorly designed section
00:19:28or section in a state of
00:19:29disrepair.
00:19:36The goal is to raise public awareness about the state
00:19:39of the road network and push authorities to
00:19:41act. Despite his efforts, several
00:19:45sections of the highway have still not been repaired. This is one
00:19:49of the places I reported during my walk. They did some work here,
00:19:53but this passage was not renovated. If a motorist
00:19:56arrives quickly on this lane, imagine the accident that will
00:19:59happen. The vehicle will fall into this gap. This situation must stop, that's why
00:20:03I keep calling on the authorities. They must intervene and fix this.
00:20:07It is their duty. The government has set itself the goal
00:20:11of halving the number of road deaths by
00:20:142030, by relying on artificial intelligence, but
00:20:18without detailing concrete measures. A colossal challenge. On
00:20:21average, one person dies every 3 minutes on Indian roads.
00:20:39Immediately, your program with Crédit Mutuel. To all those who do
00:20:43sports, Crédit Mutuel gives impetus.
00:20:47Find your program with the new Xpeng.
00:20:5003, the 100% electric coupe SUV powered by
00:20:53AI for smoother driving every day.
00:29:11In India, the curse of the dowry still weighs on
00:29:14women: money, jewelry, cars, to marry
00:29:17their daughters, parents must comply with the demands of the in-laws.
00:29:21From the outset, the groom and his family set their conditions: you will have to do this,
00:29:25you will have to give that. While the marriage market in India is
00:29:29flourishing, without a dowry, marriage can turn into a tragedy.
00:29:33and when these demands are not met, women often say
00:29:36they are victims of physical violence, harassment,
00:29:39violence, sometimes death, to change
00:29:42things, some refuse the established order. We
00:29:46also try to make families understand that this practice is
00:29:49bad, things are changing slowly, but
00:29:53surely,
00:29:57reporter to see on France
00:29:5824.
00:30:08Hello everyone, glad to have you back on France 24, welcome to the direct
00:30:11news hour, here are the main headlines of the day, this
00:30:15announcement first which seems to be a fizzle, still no
00:30:18confirmation de la trève énergétique annoncée hier par Donald Trump, interrogé ce
00:30:22morning at the Kremlin, beauty in touch, Russia saying it prefers a
00:30:26lasting peace, ceasefire, we will also see that
00:30:29on the ground the strikes continue , it is in this context that...
00:30:32NATO must also address
