00:00:00Freedom, equality,
00:00:01of the hybrid attacks and attributing
00:00:02current affairs,
00:00:08you are still watching the essentials on France 24, we're going further now with Marc Cemot,
00:00:11a contributor to the weekly magazine Challenge and the newspaper Le Monde, hello Marc, hello and
00:00:15Bruno Darou international columnist,
00:00:19on the question of he was a correspondent in London, for France 24, international columnist, hello
00:00:23Bruno, hello, on the agenda, NATO seeks to deter
00:00:27Russia, any attack will be in vain on its main
00:00:30military base, an American general at a time when Donald Trump shows him new
00:00:34signs of rapprochement with the Kremlin to the detriment of Ukraine.
00:00:38Saudi Arabia admits to being put to the test by the Houthi strikes. Yemeni
00:00:41rebels are multiplying deadly attacks against Riyadh International Airport,
00:00:45it will remain closed until the end of the week while maritime access for
00:00:49Saudi ships is already blocked. That's right away, we're going further.
00:00:52They are both American,
00:01:06known. but the comparison stops there between the Supreme Commander of NATO forces
00:01:10and Donald Trump, where the President of the United States,
00:01:13Xichin rehabilitated
00:01:16the complete closure of Russia on the international scene, American General
00:01:19Alexus Grenkovic, he gave one of the clearest
00:01:23warnings recently from a Western
00:01:30have been treated in Victory is simple, we will block the initial attack, if the attack continues, we
00:01:34will contain it and prevent the enemy from advancing, and if
00:01:38necessary, we will break the enemy forces as well as the operational combat system
00:01:42they deploy against us. To create
00:01:45a barrier, our ground forces will deploy to
00:01:48neutralize any enemy offensive at the point of contact. Through
00:01:52maneuvers, we will immobilize enemy formations and prevent the taking of
00:01:55alliance territory. Ground forces will attack the enemy and
00:01:59destroy these advancing forces, but they will not act alone, our air
00:02:03and naval forces, acting in concert with our spatial and
00:02:06cybernetic forces, will quickly gain freedom of
00:02:10maneuver, once air and maritime superiority is quickly
00:02:13assured, in and above the combat space, these forces
00:02:17will deploy their power and precision, thus preventing the enemy from holding its
00:02:21positions.
00:02:23This speech, it's worth all the Article 5s, the famous solidarity
00:02:27the hegemonic position of between NATO member states, yes and no, yes in the sense that it says
00:02:32challenge the hegemonic position of things very clearly, no because
00:02:34since the United States is the main member of as he himself admits, the ultimate decision belongs to politicians, so
00:02:37Supreme Commander of NATO forces, indeed it is a speech that is extremely well calibrated with regard to
00:02:40what is implicitly the most probable scenario which is not a
00:02:43strategic war with intercontinental missiles but that of a limited
00:02:47attack by Russia on, for example, a Baltic country
00:02:50or or or Finland with
00:02:53indeed these three
00:02:56phases, blockage, containment and then destruction word for word.
00:03:00Says very precisely not to want Russia's strategic defeat,
00:03:03implicitly we always remain below
00:03:06the threshold of nuclear total war with intercontinental
00:03:10missiles, we remain within a framework that
00:03:14would be that of a conventional war of very high
00:03:18intensity, even if indeed anything is possible, but we
00:03:21are not in the scenario of catastrophic escalation, we are in
00:03:25reality and that is also why this speech today
00:03:28has even more importance. towards the allies, so he is
00:03:31precisely on, I will finish
00:03:33an ally because he, well, he on this point which has been much talked about
00:03:36by President Emmanuel Macron about Russia's
00:03:40hybrid actions, the danger of these
00:03:43tests of Western determination which are increasingly
00:03:47frequent, we had occasionally implicitly
00:03:50evoked precisely to refuse escalation
00:03:54what could be the apocalyptic scenario
00:03:57function very well, like the and here we are in this intermediate thing where it recalls these fundamentals.
00:04:00with even more force because he already a few months ago had mentioned
00:04:03Kaliningrad, saying that if the
00:04:07joining us, what you need to remember from Russians attacked the Baltic countries in 24 hours, he would take this Russian enclave
00:04:11of Kaliningrad, which is this piece of Russian territory between Poland and the Baltic countries
00:04:15that was the former Königsberg of Prussia. That said,
00:04:20rapprochement with the Kremlin to the detriment of by ruling out the possibility that NATO could be the cause of the slightest escalation and by explicitly
00:04:23ruling out the use of nuclear weapons, isn't that same
00:04:27general weakening the position, the deterrence in fact, of the European Union towards
00:04:31Russia? I mean, of NATO, pardon, towards Russia. No, but not entirely, because he
00:04:35says that it's not NATO that will escalate, he doesn't say
00:04:38that if NATO
00:04:40tomorrow is the vote in the National Assembly of does escalate, then NATO will react
00:04:43and escalate further, in a sense,
00:04:45it with Cécile Galoucho in half an hour in "the keys to because in fact, he's kind of in his role, he reminds us that
00:04:48NATO is first and foremost a defensive alliance whose purpose is not
00:04:53forget, it's that this Red Sea to attack such and such territory, especially
00:04:56Russia, so escalation is not for them, but
00:04:59well, his whole point is to say that it's better if
00:05:02the adversary does not
00:05:05buy energy, risk an escalation, does that seem
00:05:07deterrent to Russia?
00:05:10that's right, since February 2020. So far, anyway, the act of naming each
00:05:14it to Russia was already supposed to be a
00:05:17form of deterrence from NATO, it didn't
00:05:20words, it didn't work, Marx these work, but then you have to
00:05:23see in the sense that what would have happened if we hadn't
00:05:26attributed it, besides, we remained very soft-kneed, if you'll excuse the expression,
00:05:31attribution, on the hipsiche, it was almost
00:05:34impossible to pretend not to have seen anything, it was
00:05:38almost signed, given that it was also an explosive, the sex that was
00:05:41used. Often by the services, anyway, it was all there, the Germans still took
00:05:44several weeks, almost a month before recognizing
00:05:48and attributing it, in France, we don't attribute, for example, for
00:05:51now I don't know where we are, but on the Normandy TER train that
00:05:55derailed near Cléon where a certain
00:05:58number of drones were to be manufactured in common with Renault and the Ukrainians with
00:06:02a 300 kg bar that had moved by itself,
00:06:06so to speak, during the night and so
00:06:09there are a lot of things like that where we hesitate to...
00:06:12attribute and we could do more, so I think that this logic of putting
00:06:16the Russians on trial for what they do
00:06:19is necessary, Russia has declared war on us, that's also what
00:06:23this general says in a certain way, detailing not quite that, he says
00:06:27that Russia might be tempted to want to get there and so
00:06:31he sends them the message that we have just heard, well then on
00:06:35hybrid war sometimes it's also difficult to attribute for example, even if
00:06:39we can have very strong suspicions, for example what happened today in France.
00:06:44The fact of with the refrigerators, the refrigerators of the management
00:06:48centers, well the management centers of the temperature
00:06:51in several large supermarkets in
00:06:55France, Leclerc U, yes for the System U chains
00:06:58and for Intermarché and Intermarché, that's right,
00:07:02and well, they were hacked, as
00:07:05they say, which means that a lot of
00:07:09food had to be thrown away, if you'll excuse the expression.
00:07:20But in this case, very concretely, even if we obviously have strong suspicions, but well, it would be difficult, it's less
00:07:24signed than the attempt to attack a bit the
00:07:27perversity sometimes of attacks, attacking France on food, a nuclear
00:07:31attack, no, but you see, a conventional attack, well,
00:07:35of course it's signed, some hybrid attacks, well, it's complicated,
00:07:38Emmanuel, with us live from Kiev. First, Emmanuel,
00:07:42is there a reaction, are we reassured, are there any reactions simply after
00:07:46the words of this general,
00:07:49Alexus Jinkewich
00:07:52today?
00:07:55Well, listen, in any case, what we see is that the Ukrainians are reassured by the
00:07:58reactions from the allies, whether it is the
00:08:02general, the commander-in-chief of NATO, but also the Secretary General of NATO,
00:08:06Marc Rutt, who spoke with Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president also
00:08:10spoke with the Finnish
00:08:12president, he spoke about this truce
00:08:16that ultimately took everyone by surprise, not only Ukraine but also
00:08:20Russia, which absolutely did not confirm stopping its strikes and which
00:08:23even struck a thermal power plant in Kharkiv in the
00:08:27northeast of the country yesterday, which continued its strikes all
00:08:30day, tonight there were two deaths in Kiev
00:08:34here in the capital on the left bank during
00:08:37a drone passage that crashed into a residential
00:08:41building, so for the Ukrainians there is absolutely
00:08:45no change following Donald Trump's thundering
00:08:49statements, so whatever the
00:08:52allies' statements, the Ukrainians look mainly with concern to
00:08:56Washington because day after day they finally
00:09:00realize that this relationship between
00:09:02Ukraine and the United States is increasingly eroding
00:09:06with Washington which seems definitively
00:09:09turned to the Russian narrative regarding
00:09:13any cessation of fighting, any ceasefire by asking
00:09:17Volodymyr Zelensky to stop hitting
00:09:20Russian oil refineries while we know that here
00:09:23Russian strikes are hitting civilians, schools,
00:09:27hospitals or even trains. who therefore does not believe in the
00:09:30truce on energy infrastructure announced by Donald Trump this
00:09:34weekend, do we nevertheless consider, like a number of analysts
00:09:37here, that these may only be statements of circumstances
00:09:41during the campaign for the midterms and that if these elections are over in the United States,
00:09:44Donald Trump could find a position, if not of
00:09:48closeness with Ukraine, at least a median position between Kiev and
00:09:51Moscow?
00:09:52Absolutely, this afternoon,
00:09:56I was talking with residents of the
00:09:59capital who told me that Donald Trump undoubtedly wanted
00:10:03to gain some points for the elections in
00:10:06his own country. In any case, on the Ukrainian side, we
00:10:09don't really see what this announcement of a truce, which in the end is
00:10:13not one on the ground, can bring. Volodymyr Zelensky assured that
00:10:17last night there were no strikes on Russian energy infrastructures from
00:10:21Ukraine. However, he has very little
00:10:25hope that this truce will be respected
00:10:28by Russia and so the Ukrainians are mainly preparing
00:10:32for these next weeks, these next months which will
00:10:36be very complicated. Here in the
00:10:38capital there are already electricity cuts several
00:10:41times a day, also water pumping problems,
00:10:45heating problems which for now are not yet too severe since the temperatures are not
00:10:48yet too low but which will only worsen in the coming weeks,
00:10:52these coming months, thank you Emmanuel Chazont. from Kiev for France
00:10:5624. Marc Semo, Donald
00:10:59Trump's position today, we know it, that of the
00:11:02general, does it contradict, modify the American position or are these two
00:11:06different things? What Trump said, he had already said it several times in
00:11:09moments of tension with the Ukrainians, starting with the terrible
00:11:12scene of humiliation in the Oval Office in February of last
00:11:16year, last year,
00:11:19that's right, Zelensky has no legitimacy, he
00:11:23hasn't had elections and so on. It's recurring, at the same time, we must not forget
00:11:27that just a month ago, this same Donald Trump signed the
00:11:30Graham Law, Graham, which greatly tightened
00:11:34sanctions for anyone trading with Russia and
00:11:37spoke of and
00:11:40planned a 100% increase in customs duties for countries that, despite
00:11:44these sanctions, violated them and continued to trade, so this is a
00:11:48volte-face, he is accustomed to it, it is
00:11:51obviously dictated by an electoral agenda, we can indeed
00:11:54have doubts about the real
00:11:58important effects on the fall
00:12:01in gasoline prices, but he is in the pure logic of his electoral campaign, trade
00:12:05with Russia still he can change his mind again
00:12:09afterwards, on the substance, beyond all that we can imagine, do the Russians somehow
00:12:13hold Trump, etc., I won't go into that for now, there has never been any concrete
00:12:17evidence, however, what is obvious is that the world view of Trump and this
00:12:20administration and that of the
00:12:23Russians is common, that is to say, it is that of great
00:12:26states, these are the civilization states that are
00:12:30destined to rule over zones of influence where they do
00:12:33absolutely what they want, so there are the United States, there is Russia, there is China
00:12:37and for Europe, for now, it does not exist and there you go, what is the position of the
00:12:41United States today, is it the official position, is it what Donald
00:12:45Trump expressed, Bruno Darou, or what this American
00:12:49general just expressed, does he, by engaging NATO, also engage the
00:12:52United States, well, yes.
00:12:56Of course, he also engages the United States
00:12:59NATO, but at the same time he does not express himself only as an American general, he also
00:13:03expresses himself as the head of NATO, so from that point of view, he does not
00:13:06represent 100% if you will, the
00:13:10position of the United States, after indeed it may seem
00:13:13surprising that almost at the same time these two
00:13:17speeches from the two Donalds are so
00:13:21different, or perhaps it's what we call a...
00:13:25division, a distribution of roles, that's right,
00:13:27good cop bad cop, I don't know, but indeed I agree
00:13:31with the fact that this agreement
00:13:34announced by Donald Trump in violation of a law he had
00:13:38passed a month ago, which means that the United States would have to pay 100%
00:13:42additional customs duties, and moreover that causes very tense
00:13:45comments within Congress, including
00:13:49among some Republican elected officials who say that you can't
00:13:52just make this agreement. On the one hand, to abandon
00:13:58brought up the old argument that we need to change the Ukrainian
00:14:01president and, what's more, sometimes he sees the world as he would like
00:14:05to see it, with the announcement of a ceasefire on both sides regarding
00:14:08energy infrastructure, whereas neither Moscow nor Kiev were apparently aware that there
00:14:12was a beginning of a ceasefire, so I think it's
00:14:16indeed quite circumstantial, because what's more, from a purely economic point of view,
00:14:20experts estimate that this agreement will not really
00:14:23work because... Russia for the moment imports diesel
00:14:27from Iran when it is still possible from India, a lot
00:14:30that it needs, Russia, while the
00:14:34United States are the top producers, so in fact they don't
00:14:37really need it, so clearly it's an electoralist, political
00:14:41message, he couldn't show an agreement
00:14:45with the Iranians because that's more complicated, so well, he
00:14:48comes out with an agreement with Putin who somehow does him a favor and
00:14:52who in return maybe asks him
00:14:55to hit hard again on Kiev and especially on
00:14:58Volodymyr Zelensky and besides, and so it can change just and besides, if there's a
00:15:02small drop in the price of diesel, that also suits us as Europeans and
00:15:06especially France, let's be lucid, while
00:15:10incidentally we import a large part of our diesel,
00:15:13not necessarily at the cost of weakening Volodymyr Zelensky, in any case not seen from here
00:15:17apparently in Europe, also because the Europeans have also
00:15:21reacted and Scott B, the Secretary of State
00:15:25Treasury, said, well, they're a bit swollen, the Europeans, because they continue to
00:15:30oil and Russian gas,
00:15:35They even calculated that since
00:15:38February 2020, Europe had, within a few billion,
00:15:41230 almost on both sides, but Europe
00:15:45had more to buy, to give
00:15:47money in fact to Vladimir Putin to help him
00:15:51continue his war than to give
00:15:59mess, but it's true. Saudi
00:16:02Arabia is cut off from the world, while its access to the Indian Ocean via
00:16:06the straits is already blocked. Its main international
00:16:09airport, victim of incessant attacks, forced to
00:16:12close at least until the end of the week, missile and drone
00:16:15strikes have killed at least 13 people,
00:16:17Sophie Samail Saudi Arabia
00:16:21attacked relentlessly, main target,
00:16:24Riyadh airport targeted by two
00:16:28attacks Saturday and Sunday, the most
00:16:31deadly on its soil since
00:16:322015,
00:16:35the Yemeni armed forces carried out four major operations in the last
00:16:3924 hours, using ballistic and cruise missiles as well
00:16:42as drones, the first operation carried out in three
00:16:45phases, targeted King Khalid International Airport in
00:16:48Riyadh and caused air traffic disruption and
00:16:53the airport, on these surveillance
00:16:56camera images, passengers at King
00:16:59Khalid Airport in Riyadh blown
00:17:02the explosion. Since Saturday, hundreds of injured
00:17:08this hospital in the Saudi capital, the
00:17:11airport itself is closed until Monday evening, the
00:17:15strikes also hit other airports and Saudi energy
00:17:18infrastructures located in the east of the country,
00:17:21all of which are claimed by the Houthis of
00:17:25Yemen. The coalition led by Saudi
00:17:28Arabia, for its part, announced that it had shot down a
00:17:32missile in the same area. Interception and
00:17:35destruction of a ballistic missile launched by...
00:17:41In the region and among allies, several leaders
00:17:44reacted, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
00:17:48condemning a horrible terrorist attack, Donald
00:17:51Trump called these strikes unacceptable,
00:17:55indicating that he would examine a possible American
00:17:58participation in military operations against the
00:18:01Houthis, American participation, and do you believe
00:18:04it, Bruno, no, not really, not really. We'll see, but
00:18:07we know that Crown Prince MBS Mohammed Bin Salman
00:18:11has already called Donald Trump several times,
00:18:14asking him for real military support
00:18:18to fight the Houthis, and
00:18:22Donald Trump declined, well, now there were 14
00:18:25deaths in these attacks against Riyadh airport, so
00:18:28the images are terrible, so Donald Trump reacts and says
00:18:32it's unacceptable and he says again, well, I'm going to
00:18:36think about it. I might call
00:18:38the Crown Prince, but the truth is that the Americans have
00:18:42no desire to get involved in this mess,
00:18:45because already they
00:18:49have enough with Iran, as we know it's not going very well, and
00:18:52they know very well that somehow the Houthis are
00:18:56doing a kind of blackmail, because when they took control of the Strait of
00:19:00Bab-el-Mandeb almost a month ago,
00:19:03they told the Americans, "No, but
00:19:07we're not going to touch your interests," so Donald Trump said, "Well,
00:19:11the Houthis told us they weren't going to attack us, so you'll see, everything will be fine,"
00:19:15and poor MBS had called, also reminding us of the
00:19:19military cooperation agreements that exist between the United States
00:19:21and Saudi Arabia, but Donald Trump had not moved, so I would be
00:19:25very surprised if Donald Trump perhaps he will make some
00:19:28gestures, reinforced logistical support, things like that,
00:19:31but obviously no direct
00:19:34involvement from the Americans. Saudi Arabia,
00:19:38Ukraine, NATO, European Union, it's not good to be an ally of the
00:19:41United States during midterm elections, especially when the president is named Donald
00:19:44Trump, but especially for Saudi Arabia, it's still a triple
00:19:47major failure for the Crown Prince,
00:19:51militarily, because the support they had given to Yemeni government
00:19:54troops was derisory, and the Houthi rebels
00:19:58took control of Bab-el-Mandeb, the port of
00:20:01Mocha, and everything almost without a fight, it's a strategic
00:20:05failure, because today the Strait of Hormuz is
00:20:09blocked, Bab-el-Mandeb is blocked, so there is only
00:20:12the possibility through this pipeline
00:20:15that goes to Yanbu to allow oil tankers to pass
00:20:19towards the Suez Canal, towards the north, towards Europe, but in any case, it's not the super
00:20:23super oil tankers that are too strong, and then above all, it's the diplomatic
00:20:26failure, that is to say, Donald Trump
00:20:30negotiated with the Houthis and said, "Well, we can
00:20:34arrange it," as he had done in 2025 with the Israelis, they had accepted
00:20:37the fait accompli, so American
00:20:40involvement is far from certain, the
00:20:43APEC pact between
00:20:47Pakistan.
00:20:58but nobody wants to go there and the Turks say we might send you some men
00:21:01from Al-Shara, former jihadists who had
00:21:04fought in Syria, so it's still quite terrible for someone who dreamed
00:21:08of a Saudi Arabia that had become the main regional power or even of the Arab
00:21:11world and who was investing massively with their Vision
00:21:1530 program for the post-hydrocarbon era, it's still a major issue and
00:21:18I think there will also be consequences
00:21:20probably internally, even if he controls the country where he is, but where
00:21:24he still has a lot of accumulated rivalry within the royal
00:21:28family, I think there will be repercussions, but
00:21:31I also think that in the medium and long term, what has been happening
00:21:35since the outbreak of the conflict with Iran regarding the relations of the
00:21:38United States with its allies in the Gulf
00:21:41region, in the long term it is not very good for American
00:21:45diplomacy either,
00:21:47since whether it is Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, etc., they were
00:21:51very disappointed that the Americans did almost nothing,
00:21:55it's the credibility, the big piece, Saudi Arabia, the
00:21:58Americans don't budge, besides, MBS,
00:22:01a few weeks ago,
00:22:05had refused a flyover of his territory by
00:22:09American planes and the use of bases because
00:22:11he was already unhappy with what Donald Trump had done with the Houthis,
00:22:15so yes, internally for the regime, for MBS it's
00:22:18complicated, but for American interests in the medium term,
00:22:22this kind of distrust from allies
00:22:25towards them is still not very good.
00:22:28well, what emerges is that it's better to be the
00:22:36Iran with the memorandum
00:22:39which generally covered the essential of their demands
00:22:42regarding, etcetera. So, and the tools you were talking about that
00:22:46negotiated with the Americans,
00:22:48exception. Uh, there you go on their
00:22:51boat. So today indeed the situation is what
00:22:55it is at the moment precisely when Saudi Arabia must
00:22:58prepare to host uh the
00:23:01pilgrimage to Mecca, to Medina, you
00:23:04say, it also has the congress on oil that is today where it has a
00:23:08certain number of heads of state who are, you say it deals a blow to the regional influence of Saudi
00:23:12Arabia beyond even Vision 2030, does it even challenge
00:23:17Saudi Arabia on the peninsula? It does not
00:23:22Saudi Arabia on the peninsula because it remains, apart
00:23:25from Iran,
00:23:27the main, the most populous, the richest and so on, but it's the whole
00:23:31Gulf model today that is held
00:23:34hostage by this war and by Iran in a certain way
00:23:37too, yes, but we had the problem for them of the
00:23:41doubles where he negotiates with Iran, he finds an arrangement with Iran, that's what Saudi Arabia had tried to
00:23:44do by reconciling with
00:23:48Iran 2 years ago.
00:23:50Uh, there you go, or on the contrary it means building a security architecture
00:23:54against Iran, against Iran, you have to see that taken all together
00:23:58the Gulf powers, the petro-monarchies of the Gulf, it's still
00:24:02substantial, they have a defense budget, that
00:24:05of Saudi Arabia is already more important than that of France, it's at, I
00:24:09think, 80 billion,
00:24:1374 billion euros, if you put them all together, they manage to
00:24:16have armies that are not battle-hardened. They have armies that are not
00:24:20operational, that are totally disorganized, totally separate and
00:24:24therefore in fact they don't succeed and above all the past months have
00:24:28proven a total lack of coordination in the response of these different countries since we didn't
00:24:32feel at any moment that the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, well, Qatar
00:24:35was already a bit the black sheep of the region for other reasons but at no moment did
00:24:39we feel a concerted will of
00:24:43the GCC, the Gulf Cooperation Council, also didn't
00:24:47Saudi Arabia-Turkey agreement.
00:24:59When Saudi realize that in fact not much happens. So indeed, regarding put to the test of reality, well, we
00:25:04Arabia, they indeed spend a lot of money on their military equipment but there is a problem of organization, of command or else they made
00:25:07investments not where they should have, not calibrated for the
00:25:11threat. They are capable of carrying out strikes, they carried out
00:25:15about thirty strikes, but well,
00:25:18there you go, but perhaps on the defenders. They perhaps, I don't know, the
00:25:22only ones who have a true war culture, yes,
00:25:25and who have a different strategy are the United Arab Emirates who are extremely close to the
00:25:29Israelis, where the Israelis had also set up to help build an
00:25:33Iron Dome during the war, and who for example
00:25:37have a common view for the redistribution of cards at the regional level. There's one thing we
00:25:43war spills over into the Horn of Africa, it spills
00:25:46over notably into Somalia where...
00:25:50Israel a few months ago recognized, the only country in the world, the independence of
00:25:53Somaliland, which is a kind of oasis of relative prosperity and
00:25:57peace in the midst of this regional chaos. The Emirates have
00:26:00intense relations with Somaliland.
00:26:02And the so-called president of the self- proclaimed Somaliland was at the beginning of
00:26:06September in Washington because the Americans
00:26:09are also thinking about that and that's where the new great game is taking place. In
00:26:13Djibouti, a few kilometers away, we find the American base, the
00:26:17French base and the Chinese base, the only Chinese base outside
00:26:20Chinese territory and just next door on the Somali side
00:26:24there's the Turkish base, also the only Turkish
00:26:27base outside Turkish territory, so there's a new great game happening there too, thank you for letting us know. These are the
00:26:31future, we go further with you, Mar and of course Bruno
00:26:34Darou, thank you gentlemen, that was "we go further", we'll be back
00:26:37in a moment, we'll continue to talk of course about this
00:26:41news, about this attack now
00:26:45against a principal and
00:26:47a teacher, it happened in Aubagne near Marseille in a college, so
00:26:50priori it has no direct connection with the high school
00:26:54movement.
00:26:55He is 25 years old,
00:27:03Sierra Leone is ravaged by war, one of the most violent
00:27:06West Africa has
00:27:09The Kono district is a region where diamonds have been found
00:27:13for more than a century.
00:27:15Diamonds were sent out of
00:27:21Sierra Leone in exchange for weapons and ammunition. Years later,
00:27:25as the country seeks to rebuild.
00:27:28Named peace diamond, it
00:27:35becomes a symbol of peace. I am so
00:27:38proud, through the peace Diamond, we see concretely what happens
00:27:41when we give to the community, but behind the sparkle of the diamond lies
00:27:45a darker side. These diamonds, we find them, but we
00:27:49suffer from
00:28:03A mutual insurer committed to forest protection for almost 100
00:28:06years. Groupama
00:28:09Groupama always there for me.
00:29:10That was the weather with Groupama, a mutual insurer
00:29:13committed to forest protection for almost 100 years.
00:29:17Groupama Groupama always there for me.
00:30:06Back to basics, welcome if you're
00:30:09the news, this Monday, first NATO trying to deter
00:30:13Russia, any attack will be in vain on its main military chief, an
00:30:17American general at a time when Donald Trump is showing new signs of
00:30:22Ukraine. This new act of violence in a
00:30:26school without apparent connection with the high school movement, a
00:30:2914-year-old adolescent wounds with a shotgun, the principal as
00:30:33well as a teacher of his college in Aubagne near Marseille, before being subdued,
00:30:37the motive for his act is unknown. And then
00:30:42the so-called integral law against sexist and sexual violence. We will review
00:30:48the info". Before that, we will sort through the videos that circulated to
00:30:51illustrate the Houthi attacks of the weekend against Riyadh airport in Saudi Arabia, this
00:30:55will be Info Intox with Anthony Saint-léger. And then in Elementary
00:30:58Audré Racine.
