00:00:00You can watch it on France 24 and our social
00:00:09us on France 24. It's time for our columnists. It's time
00:00:13for the France 24 club. Hello to both of you,
00:00:16to all three of you even, because Christophe is waiting for us just above. We will come back
00:00:20during this half-hour, of course, to this message from Luton addressed at the beginning
00:00:23of the afternoon to Russia. Vladimir Putin said, "If we are
00:00:26attacked, we are ready to fight tonight." The words of the general
00:00:39found at Leipzig
00:00:43must avoid provoking escalation but must
00:00:46react to the re-recognition of
00:00:50Russian hybrid attacks and the threat of
00:00:53real attacks against NATO territories. Also,
00:00:57about the celebration last night in the camp of Raphael Glucksmann,
00:01:00it's now official, he is the candidate of the social-democratic
00:01:04left after the primary. The MEP was
00:01:07designated with more than 66 % of the votes, a wide
00:01:10victory in the first round which surprised even his own
00:01:14camp. Flore Simon, hello, hello Elisabeth. Indeed, it was a surprise
00:01:18part remains to be done because he will have to
00:01:21unite around him. These are 40,000 voters who
00:01:25elected him for this to represent the
00:01:28left. So there is still a long way to go. He will have to
00:01:34demands honesty, appease a political family which is
00:01:35commitment, quite divided. And
00:01:36rigor and then Emmanuel Macron inaugurated this morning the 91st World
00:01:39Automobile Show, an event during which European manufacturers intend to
00:01:43resist the rampant competition
00:01:46from Chinese manufacturers. We will find Christophe
00:01:50there, who is our special correspondent. Christophe, I asked earlier to be behind the wheel of a car,
00:01:53I think he is behind you. A yellow
00:01:56chick-yellow
00:01:59vehicle. A Chinese brand Changan, you probably don't know it, it's
00:02:03one of the 20 Chinese brands that is exhibited here at the auto show,
00:02:08mind of Donald Trump, who seems to have many new brands but with
00:02:11quite impressive technologies, I'll show you that later, here is the vehicle that is being
00:02:14polished right now, it's perfect for the news, you have the program of the
00:02:18day, the club, let's go, let's go!
00:02:34This message to begin with, addressed this early afternoon by
00:02:38Louton to Moscow. The Supreme Commander of Alliance forces in Europe
00:02:42spoke from Warsaw, General
00:02:45Alexius Grinkevic presented his theory of victory on the
00:02:50of the most prominent figures of best way to defeat Russia in case of attack.
00:02:51Listen to him.
00:02:55We have no project, no intention,
00:02:58no ambition
00:03:04No one should confuse our defensive posture with
00:03:07weakness, however, if anyone were reckless enough to
00:03:11attack us, we would fight and prevent them from achieving their
00:03:14objectives.
00:03:19I want to clarify an essential point, I do not believe that a conflict is imminent or
00:03:23inevitable.
00:03:25Here we are following live with you, Corp. has
00:03:29heard this... this message, there is no doubt about the
00:03:32recipient, Russia, even if at no time is it mentioned. Yes, it was
00:03:36clearly a firm warning against
00:03:39Moscow, an approach which he said
00:03:42was based on deterrence by
00:03:45prohibition. I don't think a conflict is imminent, but we
00:03:49must be ready to prohibit a potential attack,
00:03:52declared Alexus Grenkevic. He highlights
00:03:56World the superiority of the Atlantic alliance forces, but also
00:04:00the superiority of the intelligence of the
00:04:03alliance members. As a reminder, Western intelligence had indeed
00:04:06spotted the massive influx of Russian troops to
00:04:10the borders of Ukraine on the
00:04:11explain it, it's still the line eve of the February 2022
00:04:14attack, but no one wanted to believe in such
00:04:18an attack. The Supreme Commander
00:04:21of NATO forces in Europe
00:04:24implies that this horror, this error and this
00:04:27horror will not happen again. If the
00:04:31territory of one of the member countries of the alliance is
00:04:34threatened, he foresees a
00:04:36the line of non- firm response in case of attack. We will stop the enemy with land,
00:04:40sea, air, cyber forces before making them
00:04:44retreat, he said. And if the adversary decides to continue, then
00:04:47we will destroy everything that supports
00:04:50the adversary's war effort. He insisted
00:04:53together a collective dynamic of on unity within NATO,
00:04:56"the adversary will not divide us," he said. That's a direct
00:05:00reference to Vladimir Putin's constant attempts to
00:05:04divide the alliance within itself
00:05:07as well as the European Union, in order to weaken it.
00:05:11He also emphasizes the
00:05:14NATO, "we have no plan beyond the defense of our people and
00:05:17our territory, but if we are
00:05:20attacked, we are ready to fight tonight,"
00:05:24he said. So it is a firm speech in the hope of
00:05:28finding a solution to this resurgence of
00:05:31hybrid attacks. NATO must
00:05:34avoid provoking escalation but cannot remain
00:05:38inactive in the face of the risk of seeing these Russian provocations
00:05:42intensify, as is already the case. Remember early August
00:05:46with, for example, this explosive-laden drone that was
00:05:51Airport in Germany, a member country of the European
00:05:54Union. So all this, the words spoken against
00:05:58a backdrop of energy truce, or at least announced as such
00:06:01yesterday evening by Donald Trump, took everyone by surprise. It's a truce that has not
00:06:05come into effect. Russia says it will observe
00:06:08a ceasefire only on election day in Ukraine. That's what the Kremlin
00:06:12is saying this morning. Ukraine doesn't seem to be aware of the
00:06:15agreement in question either. Let's listen to Volodymyr Zelensky and we'll talk about it right
00:06:18after.
00:06:23Yesterday, we were not surprised to see that at the very moment when the
00:06:26American president suddenly published a very important
00:06:30message, claiming to have obtained an energy ceasefire between
00:06:34Russia and Ukraine, Shahed drones were
00:06:37flying over our
00:06:38skies.
00:06:46We are ready to observe an energy ceasefire if Russia is ready
00:06:50to do the same. We agree if they do, and
00:06:54we have already shown that we truly
00:06:56mean it.
00:07:01Last night, Russian oil refineries were not burning,
00:07:05but at midnight, a Russian drone strike targeted
00:07:09a gas production facility in Ukraine.
00:07:15Well, Ukraine doesn't seem to be aware of the ceasefire either. Where did this agreement come from? From the
00:07:20imagined it. You know, the American president sometimes seems to
00:07:24live in a kind of parallel world where repeating
00:07:27a lie eventually becomes a reality
00:07:31in his own eyes. Well, above all, Donald Trump is
00:07:34guided by domestic political
00:07:38objectives. Three weeks before the mid-term elections, which promise to be very
00:07:42difficult for his camp, he wants to show that he is making progress
00:07:46in a conflict he had promised to resolve in 48 hours, and
00:07:49above all, he wants to convince his electorate that the
00:07:53rise in fuel prices is not due to the war he
00:07:57himself launched in Iran, but that it is entirely due to the
00:08:01strikes carried out by Ukraine on Russian
00:08:04refineries. So, because
00:08:07the announcement of this ceasefire, which can be described as fictitious, came
00:08:10after Donald Trump also announced
00:08:14the lifting of sanctions on Russian
00:08:17diesel. According to experts, this will
00:08:20not be enough to bring down
00:08:23prices at the pump, because the volume of diesel that Russia
00:08:27could put back on the market is
00:08:29insufficient. Moreover, the Kremlin still prohibits
00:08:33diesel exports. Donald Trump also
00:08:36said it was time for Ukraine to get a
00:08:39new president. All this furiously reminds
00:08:42us of the altercation he had with Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval
00:08:46Office in February 2025, and this once again highlights
00:08:50Donald Trump's bias in favor of
00:08:53Russia. His ties with Moscow have been
00:08:56widely documented. A month ago, he had nevertheless signed
00:09:00this famous Linzagram law which provides for new sanctions against
00:09:03Russia and also sanctions against countries that buy
00:09:07oil from the Russians. So the Americans
00:09:10have a space.
00:09:13But for this law to be implemented, Donald Trump
00:09:16must request it. Apparently he's not ready to
00:09:20do it. Last point, these announcements by Donald Trump could actually be quite
00:09:23counterproductive domestically because within the Republican party
00:09:27there are several elected officials who don't agree at all,
00:09:31and especially first and foremost his former vice-president
00:09:34Mike Pence who said last night that the United States should
00:09:38not offer a lifeline to the Russian war machine,
00:09:41but rather increase sanctions against
00:09:45Russia. These are the sanctions that are also being discussed in Europe,
00:09:49the Europeans who are tightening their ranks and who have announced new
00:09:52targets for the interests of the Russian power today. Yes, it's the EU foreign
00:09:56ministers who have formally adopted
00:09:59new sanctions against more than 1600
00:10:02individuals and entities linked to the
00:10:05war in Ukraine, the Russian
00:10:07war. Kaja Kallas, the head of European diplomacy,
00:10:11said that more than half of the targets
00:10:14of these punitive measures were linked
00:10:18to the production chain of Russian ballistic missiles,
00:10:21these missiles that are doing terrible damage to Ukraine.
00:10:25And she specified that it was the largest extension of the
00:10:31the war. This morning Emmanuel Macron declared
00:10:34that we must not give in to the Russian threat,
00:10:38and normally the French head of state should have Donald Trump
00:10:41on the phone this afternoon. According to the Financial Times, European
00:10:45officials received calls all weekend from American
00:10:49officials with the message
00:10:52threatening to suspend the provision of American intelligence to
00:10:56Ukraine and the threat to suspend the program
00:10:59managed by NATO which allows Europeans to buy
00:11:03American weapons to then deliver them to Ukraine. And the
00:11:07Europeans are trying to compensate for the shortage of
00:11:10American Patriots with their own
00:11:14anti-aircraft defense systems, which
00:11:16should not be delivered before next year, and they are also increasingly
00:11:20taking charge of intelligence. In January, he said that France
00:11:24now handles two-thirds of Ukrainian
00:11:27intelligence. The Europeans' hope is,
00:11:30of course, that the Republican Party will suffer a
00:11:34defeat in the upcoming mid-term elections
00:11:37so that America can once again
00:11:40re-engage in Ukraine, which is obviously possible. We will follow that
00:11:44with great attention next
00:11:47November 3rd, from one election to another,
00:11:50we are also preparing in France, hello Flor Simon, we are
00:11:54talking about this primary which was indeed a first
00:11:57step on the left, it is now official Raphael Glucksmann became
00:12:01last night the candidate of the social democratic left after the
00:12:05primary, the European deputy was designated with more than 66
00:12:08% of the votes, it is a large victory in the first round which
00:12:12surprised even his own camp last night. The portrait of Raphael
00:12:16Glucksmann to begin with, we'll come back to it right
00:12:17after.
00:12:22He enters his first presidential race. He entered
00:12:43the international political scene in 2009 by becoming
00:12:46an advisor to the liberal Georgian president Mikheil
00:12:49Saakashvili, a position he held until
00:12:522013.
00:12:55Political experience in France also on the right with the
00:12:58Liberal Alternative party. Raphaël Glucksmann shifted to the
00:13:02left and in 2019, he was elected
00:13:04deputy in the European elections with the Public Place movement which he
00:13:08co-founded a year earlier. Re-elected in
00:13:112024, he becomes one
00:13:15the moderate left in Brussels. Yesterday,
00:13:18hatred won in France and in Europe,
00:13:22so it's time today.
00:13:43He is criticized by the left, notably by Jean-Luc
00:13:47Mélenchon, with whom he refuses any
00:13:49alliance. There will be no agreement with the Francisme, but there will be an
00:13:53agreement with the democratic left. with the republican left and we
00:13:57are going to win the presidential election, I am absolutely
00:14:00convinced of it. Raphaël Glucksmann wants to be the candidate of the break
00:14:04with what he calls the hegemony of Jean-Luc Mélenchon over the French
00:14:07left and calls for the unity of forces to fight against what he
00:14:11calls his eternal enemy, the far right.
00:14:14So, Glucksmann's camp was celebrating last night, but
00:14:18his camp was still quite surprised by
00:14:22the scale of the victory, this score, how can
00:14:25we explain it today? Yes, indeed, quite surprised, I think he didn't expect such a score.
00:14:29Elected in the first round with a large majority of
00:14:3366%. Well, we
00:14:36of non-alliance with the insubordinates that won
00:14:40last night, it was actually the real stake of this primary since we saw during
00:14:44the debates there were three that finally they were more or
00:14:47less in agreement on the rest, except Gaza
00:14:50and naming the genocide in Gaza or not, but it's true that
00:14:54where... there were clashes was on these possible
00:14:58alliances with LFI, so it's
00:15:01alliance that won last night and this morning Raphael Glucksmann,
00:15:05now the official candidate for the
00:15:08left, reiterated that there will be no alliance with
00:15:11LFI. Let's listen to him on France Inter. So
00:15:15we will create
00:15:18the democratic left and there will be no, it's decided
00:15:22Mr. Duhamel, it's over, no alliance with.
00:15:32people who came to participate in this primary, our political
00:15:35space no longer lives.
00:15:37no longer lives in uncertainty, no longer lives in
00:15:40uncertainty and that was the basis, he says it
00:15:44himself, he had yesterday evening a
00:15:46clarification, well we can also recognize that he finally managed to
00:15:50avoid the arrows launched by his opponents in this
00:15:53primary, starting with Ségolène Royal who nevertheless said that
00:15:57he was the intern of this primary, who also said that he
00:16:01was going to ally with the center, that with him it was
00:16:04a hold-up on the PS, Olivier Faure a bit in the same
00:16:08line but less frontal still,
00:16:11so there you go. And also what we need to see, Elisabeth, is that in the polls, in the
00:16:14voting intentions, and this perhaps influenced
00:16:17those who elected him last night, is that Raphaël Glucksmann
00:16:21is the only one above 10%. He is polled and tested
00:16:25between 10 and 13% according to the polls, whereas Olivier Faure, whom we see on
00:16:28screen, is rather around 5%.
00:16:32Olivier Faure, by the way, has been the first secretary of the Socialist Party for 8 years. For
00:16:35him, it was a real setback, he only got 14%, so his
00:16:39line, Olivier Faure's line, which was that of an alliance with
00:16:43the insubordinates for the legislative elections, was clearly put in the minority.
00:16:47So it's a bit of a disavowal for the first secretary of the
00:16:51PS. Regarding the other candidates, Ségolène Royal, Jérôme
00:16:54Guedj and Emmanuel Morel, they are all below 10%. We see them all
00:16:58posing for a selfie and applauding Raphaël Glucksmann.
00:17:01Well, we remember the debates that happened just before, we
00:17:05still say that the hardest part remains to come. The objective now will
00:17:09be to unite and appease a party that is still
00:17:13marked by divisions. Yes, indeed, Raphaël Glucksmann said it,
00:17:16"to unite is my first responsibility." First, he will have to unite the
00:17:19socialists because even if we see this selfie with everyone on
00:17:23stage and everyone finally said last night that they would
00:17:27support the winner, we have also seen in the past that even
00:17:31if there was on paper a
00:17:35support for the winner, the law was not always
00:17:38followed. We think of 2017 with Benoît Hamon, 2022 with
00:17:42Anne Hidalgo. So the first challenge is for this
00:17:45socialist family to follow him. Then he will have to
00:17:48broaden Elizabeth Raphaël Glucksmann, he is, because the socialists, just a
00:17:52parenthesis, they have a bitter taste, for the first
00:17:55time in history, there will be no PS-stamped candidate
00:17:59in a presidential election since Raphaël Glucksmann is president of Place
00:18:02Publique. The second challenge will be to broaden the
00:18:06left further. So the environmentalists, for
00:18:09example, who are divided between
00:18:12finally allying with the insubordinates or the
00:18:15socialists. Last night Marine Tondelier, the leader of the Greens, tweeted
00:18:19saying that it was the choice of withdrawal, so you see it's not necessarily
00:18:22very engaging. And then he also has to win back the
00:18:26left-wing voters who voted for Macron in 2022. There too, he
00:18:30has this challenge for Raphaël Glucksmann. We're just going to
00:18:33listen to Michel Barnier. Now he's a Republican, an LR deputy, former
00:18:37prime minister, it's a long way off, but he welcomes the return of the left-right
00:18:41divide. We listen to him. It's the
00:18:44end of "at the same time", we are finding this
00:18:47left-right divide that Mr. Macron wanted to eliminate for 10 years,
00:18:50patiently, methodically, and which gave this incredible power to the
00:18:54extremes of the right and the left. We must find a left-right
00:18:58divide with a social-democratic left, it is reconstituting itself and
00:19:02a republican right, that's what we are doing with Bruno Retailleau.
00:19:06So, and then another challenge for now, the first in the lead on the left is
00:19:09Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Yesterday in Clermont-Ferrand, he gathered more than
00:19:1310,000 people and Jean-Luc Mélenchon wants to appear as the useful
00:19:16vote on the left, so here too Raphaël Glucksmann will have to make
00:19:19proposals because mere opposition to LFI will not be enough to gather
00:19:23millions of votes. Thank you very much Flore for the
00:19:26analysis. Last sequence of this club which will be
00:19:30done remotely, we are heading to the 91st
00:19:34Automobile Show, I sold you something anti.
00:19:38Christophe Dancette who will be driving a
00:19:42vehicle, we will find Christophe who is our special correspondent
00:19:45at this event which was inaugurated this morning by the head of state Emmanuel
00:19:49Macron, an event during which European manufacturers intend to
00:19:52resist the rampant competition from Chinese
00:19:56manufacturers. The head of state focused this morning on three
00:20:00priorities: the electrification of vehicles, European
00:20:04preference, and of course necessarily
00:20:06innovation, particularly on autonomous
00:20:09vehicles. Christophe Dencette is therefore
00:20:12directly following this auto show for us. Christophe, hello.
00:20:16I think the connection is re-established. The show was inaugurated by the
00:20:20president in person, we just saw him on
00:20:22screen.
00:20:24Yes, the president was there this morning for his last auto show, he who had been
00:20:28faithful to every edition since his arrival at the
00:20:32Élysée in 2017. A show that has nevertheless
00:20:35experienced various turbulences since the beginning, since his first
00:20:39mandate, as there was the Covid crisis and a 2020 edition canceled
00:20:43and the 2022 edition held in a small
00:20:46format. The 2026 edition is really the return to the large
00:20:50format with 60 manufacturers present,
00:20:53obviously the Europeans, most of the big ones are
00:20:57there, Volkswagen, Mercedes for the Germans, and then
00:21:00also Renault and Stellantis for the French.
00:21:03Stellantis presented this morning what is perhaps the star of
00:21:07this show, which is the 2CV, you know, the "deuche", the favorite cars
00:21:11of collectors, which is making a new 2026
00:21:15or rather 2028 version, I was going to say, since the goal is to
00:21:18sell it from 2028 at 15,000
00:21:22euros. So that's the "deuche guinguette" we saw behind
00:21:26you this morning. Now you're standing in front of a completely different
00:21:29vehicle, Christophe. You're at the stand of a Chinese
00:21:33manufacturer. Yes,
00:21:36Chinese, it's a Changan.
00:21:39You may not know this brand
00:21:43because many Chinese
00:21:46brands are here, 20 in total. Some of them we know,
00:21:50BYD or Xpeng, which are starting to drive on our
00:21:54roads here in France, but this one is
00:21:58perhaps one of the novelties and I found it quite interesting, I'm going to
00:22:01go inside, you'll see it's a jewel of technology
00:22:05like most of these 20 Chinese manufacturers
00:22:08who are here at Porte de
00:22:11Versailles. Today it's 4% of sales in
00:22:14Europe of these Chinese cars. In 4 years it could be 16%.
00:22:18So a strong arrival. They represent today a third of
00:22:21this show. So you've taken your place aboard this
00:22:25vehicle, you're talking about hybrids, but the big
00:22:29news this year remains
00:22:31electric.
00:22:34Yes, electric. So despite the agreements
00:22:37with the European Union regarding
00:22:41the desire to sell fewer hybrids and fewer plug-in hybrids in
00:22:45Europe in the coming years, in reality, these Chinese manufacturers are arriving
00:22:49in force and their ambition is intact. We see here this
00:22:52vehicle, almost all the vehicles at this show are
00:22:55electric. I saw very, very few thermal
00:22:59models. Electric and perhaps even
00:23:02autonomous. Some Chinese brands present autonomous vehicles, others
00:23:06American also offer to test for the first time in the streets of
00:23:10Paris, you know that autonomous vehicles are quite
00:23:14well known in the United States, in Asia too, in
00:23:17France we know them, we don't see them circulating much yet. Circulating in the streets of
00:23:20Paris, this is a first for this edition of the show
00:23:24of the auto show here at Porte de Versailles and besides in a few minutes I will
00:23:28go and test an autonomous car but I will tell you more in a
00:23:31report that I will broadcast tonight on the air but then
00:23:35be careful, Flore Simon, rightly so, we don't do duplexes at the
00:23:39wheel, apparently Christophe Dancette.
00:23:42Yes, especially since this isn't an autonomous car, but maybe I could do it for
00:23:46an autonomous car. We don't have a duplex planned together, but it's true that
00:23:50even in an autonomous car, you have to keep your hands on the wheel
00:23:53and keep looking ahead, with both hands on the wheel.
00:23:57Thank you very much Christophe who tests everything for us, that's perfect,
00:24:00thank you for following us obviously, this is the end of this club, thank you girls, thank you to
00:24:04both of you for staying with us, we'll be back in a few moments for your
00:24:08appointment behind the image, we're obviously going to come back to the return of
00:24:11Sophie Anno, it was a few days ago, a lot to tell you about this
00:24:15trip into space, it will be with Sylvain Rosseau, I'll see you right
00:24:18away.
00:24:29dowry still weighs on women, money,
00:24:32jewelry, car, to marry their daughters, parents must
00:24:35comply with the demands of the in-laws, from the start, the groom and his
00:24:39family set their conditions, you will have to do this, you will have to give
00:24:42that, while the marriage market is
00:24:45flourishing, without a dowry, the marriage can turn into a tragedy,
00:24:49and when... these demands are not met, women often say
00:24:52they are victims of physical violence, harassment,
00:24:56violence, sometimes death, to change
00:24:59things, some refuse the established order, we
00:25:02also try to make families understand that this practice is
00:25:05bad, things change
00:25:08slowly but
00:25:09surely,
00:25:12a report to watch on France
00:25:1524.
00:30:08you're joining us, welcome to your appointment behind the image, we're going to take the time,
00:30:12as every day, to decipher the news from a photo that
00:30:16makes sense, that speaks for itself. Hello, Sylvain Rousseau, let's look at the picture right away that you
00:30:19selected for us. I have a feeling that you're going to talk to us
00:30:23about space there and exactly, this photo was
00:30:26taken just after the Crew Dragon capsule, in which Sophie Adno returned
00:30:30to Earth, so the capsule was hoisted onto the boat. The SpaceX teams took
00:30:33the astronaut, in this case Sophie Adno, out of this
00:30:37capsule, and that's when the photo was taken. So why did
00:30:41I hesitate a lot before choosing this photo? We could have taken a photo where we
00:30:44see her trying to walk, or where we see her waving, but this photo seemed more interesting to
00:30:48me, first because, indeed, it's nothing spectacular, finally, when we look at it like
00:30:51that, in a zig-zag, it's a bit the classic photo of the returns from the
00:30:55space station, of each astronaut, but I also like the light above the Pacific that gives a...
