00:00:00one-on-one on France 24.
00:00:10the question of
00:01:02"a part of the history of this city is disappearing
00:01:05because of demolitions and
00:01:09rehabilitations that don't quite respect what
00:01:13we call the safeguard and enhancement plan. The
00:01:16enhancement plan is a kind of
00:01:20behind them and I know what's behind them, that is architectural regulation that really allows the
00:01:23buildings to be
00:01:26rehabilitated in compliance with..."
00:01:30isn't it old?
00:01:33That was 2 years ago, the President of
00:01:47our population generally, people don't want to talk about it, especially in
00:01:51Cotonou, it's really a taboo subject. It's rare
00:01:55to see people
00:01:58movement in Georgia's talk about slavery in Cotonou. Well, I'm sure
00:02:01that this slavery, many Senegalese don't know about
00:02:05slavery,
00:02:10but the national narrative through methodology
00:02:14the law on foreign has focused on slavery for Gorée
00:02:17and on colonization for Saint-Louis, trying to show both
00:02:21sides, the
00:02:23and opposition members are bad
00:02:26multiplying. Several opposition useful side. That's why Senghor said colonization is an
00:02:29evil, so colonial rule is also an evil, a necessary evil. So there's a
00:02:32very painful part, we don't even want to talk about it, but there's still another part
00:02:38years ago, about three-quarters of today that can be well-valued.
00:02:52In Europe, he leads, he decides. Facing Caroline
00:02:56de Camaret, they answer all your questions. Americans are...
00:03:00unpredictable, a great guest confronted with the burning issues of
00:03:03current events in the 27 countries of the union and the concerns
00:03:07of citizens. He has only one dictator, it's Mr.
00:03:10Putin. Here is Europe, we're listening to you,
00:03:13presented by Caroline de Camaret, to watch on France
00:03:1624.
00:03:20It's time for the face-off between our two editorialists Pablo Pilot
00:03:24Vivien and Dominique de Montvalon, hello to both of you, hello
00:03:28The procession advances to the sound of Roseline. The American Republicans had a
00:03:31difficult awakening this morning. The Democrats took back the House of
00:03:35Representatives and the Senate. So these are the midterm results. It's a
00:03:38huge setback for Donald Trump. He has 2
00:03:42years left in the White House. Does this defeat mark the limits
00:03:46of Trumpism, or is it a simple protest vote against a
00:03:49president who has become unpopular, particularly because of his
00:03:53war and the declining purchasing power and
00:03:57fuel prices that, as in all countries, have made
00:04:00dizzying leaps? For
00:04:03once, the polls were not wrong. It's an
00:04:06event of first importance, this
00:04:09result. What struck me - there are many things to
00:04:12say - but what struck me was the way Trump tried
00:04:16to re-channel his monumental failure from
00:04:20different angles,
00:04:22fines up to 1 million by reducing it to one thing, that is the which is real
00:04:25by the way, the problems of the price of fuel and
00:04:29so on. It's him first and foremost who was
00:04:32targeted. It's him
00:04:35first and foremost who receives today a monumental
00:04:38slap. I am very, very happy with this
00:04:42result, well, very happy to comment on results like that, well, you
00:04:45could, I said that, I'll own it. Well, I'm very happy with this result because
00:04:49I was
00:04:52own worried about the direction American democracy was taking
00:04:54for some months, some
00:04:58years, and if it became contagious
00:05:01and if it continued to be what it was under
00:05:05Trump, it was extremely worrying. Well, there's something that's
00:05:08invigorating, there you go, yes. So that's what Raphael Glucksmann says, but still
00:05:14we see Pablo among the
00:05:18Democratic elected officials, historically we still find a Native
00:05:21American woman, an openly gay man, and a
00:05:25Muslim. Is this a backlash,
00:05:28and a response to Trump's
00:05:32governance? Already, it corrects
00:05:35historical and sociological anomalies,
00:05:39which I didn't know about. I didn't know there had never been in the United States.
00:05:54Yes, and I think these symbols are very
00:05:57strong and that they
00:06:00say something about the reality of the sociological fabric
00:06:04of the United States. However, we must be
00:06:07careful also about what this
00:06:11victory, so to speak, of the Democratic camp, both in
00:06:14Congress, the Senate, and in the different states,
00:06:18means. That is to say that today they have no platform, they
00:06:21are not united in what they
00:06:24want. He has no leader, he has
00:06:26no
00:06:28no, but it's beyond the question of the figure, it's even on the question of the observation, that is to
00:06:32say that for example the defeat of Joe Biden in the
00:06:36last election, well, which led to the re-election
00:06:39of Donald Trump, well, basically, is it because he was... is it
00:06:43because he was too soft, not left enough? Is it because there was
00:06:47too much wokism? And there you have different
00:06:50personalities within the Democratic party who express different
00:06:53opinions,
00:06:57a bit broken with this, different words, and sometimes contradictory, sometimes
00:07:01contradictory, exactly. There is a debate in fact, there are debates, there are different
00:07:05dynamics within the Democratic camp. Should we put everything on
00:07:08the social question, only talk about transport and the...
00:07:12price of energy? Should we, on the contrary, highlight
00:07:16minorities, as you did in your enumeration of the
00:07:19different new Democratic
00:07:23elected officials? And so all that, all that, all that,
00:07:26all that, and in addition, we must keep in mind that, for
00:07:29example, there was a referendum that was proposed on the same day yesterday
00:07:33in California. It's a referendum on the taxation of billionaires, a
00:07:37very small tax, even smaller than the Zucman tax.
00:07:39It was supported by the
00:07:43Democratic Governor Gavin
00:07:45Newsom, and the referendum
00:07:48voted overwhelmingly for no. More than 55%
00:07:52of Californians said no, we do not want this tax. That is to
00:07:55say that the ground for the American
00:07:58left is far from
00:08:02well-rooted, well- stable. We remain in a country that is still the
00:08:05country of self-made men, it's a country of slavery until not
00:08:09very long ago. No, but it's true that all these stories.
00:08:42victory that puts them back in the saddle. They'll have to... so now
00:08:53I say the Democrats, the Democrats today are backed by a
00:08:56significant political,
00:08:58symbolic and sociological
00:09:07I'm going to talk rugby, they need to convert the try. They'll need to
00:09:10propose something. That someone emerges from their
00:09:14ranks. That doesn't happen in 3 months, to carry
00:09:18what the various states have said or
00:09:21had said. And
00:09:24also what do they propose that is
00:09:27different, credible, and able to help them win? And
00:09:31moreover, the return to favor of Obama, who remains the most
00:09:35popular personality in the Democratic camp by far, he's ahead of
00:09:39Kamala Harris, who is the second most popular personality in the
00:09:42Democratic camp. Well, this return to favor, what does it say? It says that they
00:09:46want a return to the old order in fact, a return to
00:09:50what was happening in the late 2000s, early 2010s when Obama was in
00:09:53power. Obama, who also to some extent
00:09:57allowed Donald Trump to come to power because he did a whole
00:10:01series, but that's not, it's not, it's an observation. Well, I prefer
00:10:04Obama to Donald Trump, that's for sure. Uh, but it's true that the way he
00:10:08handled, for example, the subprime crisis in the United States, where
00:10:11he largely funded
00:10:13the banks, well, that also to some extent
00:10:17made some Americans face the fact that
00:10:21wait, why did he give money to the banks and we still have no money? It's not
00:10:25possible and we are still relegated from globalization and the issue of racism
00:10:28in the United States is not resolved despite the fact that our president
00:10:31is black. So it doesn't mean we don't like
00:10:35Americans, I mean I like them and I'm happy to see them come back
00:10:38with their contradictions but also with their strength and their history on
00:10:42paths that can tomorrow bring them back
00:10:45and bring one of their own to the White House, but on
00:10:49paths that are nice, that are
00:10:52that have made their glory. Well,
00:10:58the comments on American TV are a bit worried. On the Democratic
00:11:02side of TV, specialists say, but we don't know what
00:11:05Donald Trump will do. He's a wounded man, he's an
00:11:09angry man. He remains the President of the United States of America for 2 years.
00:11:12What madness will he
00:11:15do after these crushing
00:11:19defeats? Yes, but he will have a camp that beat him
00:11:22facing him. There you go, that's right.
00:11:31It's obvious. We're going to talk about the reactions in France, those of Raphael Glucksmann and
00:11:35Jordan Bardella. I suggest you
00:11:36listen to them.
00:11:45to respect the verdict of the polls and these
00:11:48midterms, which are generally unfavorable to the incumbent
00:11:51president. What is certain is that Donald Trump's second term
00:11:55is clearly very different in its philosophy, in its foreign
00:11:59policy, than President Trump's first term, whose
00:12:03political ambition was to withdraw the United
00:12:06States from major global conflicts. It turns out
00:12:10that the American intervention in Iran has very serious consequences for
00:12:14the American economy, I think, but also for
00:12:17the European economy and especially for the purchasing power of our
00:12:19compatriots. There you go, so
00:12:23we feel a little... a little convoluted. So Raphael
00:12:27Glucksmann says these American elections mark the victory of democracy
00:12:31and decency. There is no inevitability in politics and this
00:12:34Democratic surge is a message of hope for all. So these
00:12:38two reactions, I'd like us to talk about them, Dominique. In France, on the left, we can clearly see that the
00:12:41victory of the Democrats is fundamentally presented as proof
00:12:45that resistance to Trump can pay off and that
00:12:48Trumpism is not an irresistible dynamic, not an
00:12:51inevitability. Well, we're happy about it, we didn't even need
00:12:55to, if I may say so, Raphael Glucksmann
00:12:59to make this observation ourselves,
00:13:02we, all American voters, but today French
00:13:06Europeans, etcetera. Yes, but everything
00:13:10is opening up, everything is opening up because
00:13:13Trump, defeated and somewhat politically
00:13:17wounded, can, yes, I'm taking up what Pablo said,
00:13:21I completely agree, he can be dangerous, well, he can seek revenge.
00:13:25It's not certain, but it's possible. But on the other
00:13:28hand, what interests me is the Democrats, and the
00:13:31Democrats really need to get out of the quagmire they're in.
00:13:35They are, and that means two things:
00:13:38finding, and I'll put them in the reverse order of what's
00:13:41needed, finding a leader who can channel a
00:13:44Barack Obama of, no, but I'm talking about France but you're going back to the United States
00:13:48but but well it's not yes but no but I
00:13:52yes no no but because I am...
00:13:55I think it's more important in the United States, but no, but of course, but no, but we
00:13:59need to and to have and to have, no, but wait
00:14:02second point Roseline, don't act, uh, second
00:14:06point, to have
00:14:08something to sell to the American people, something that
00:14:12makes, that makes, that makes
00:14:14if not unanimity, but that allows a majority to emerge.
00:14:18So I mean Glucksmann applauded
00:14:22you say Glucksmann you Gluck no
00:14:28but you're right to correct me today I don't know I am but I know what I mean but no he doesn't have
00:14:32no you're very good Dominique well thank you Roseline so
00:14:35so but no but I mean
00:14:38the leader of the non-Mélenchonist
00:14:40left is rejoicing, we understand him, we
00:14:44understand him. Uh, we hope
00:14:47he will take other steps quite quickly,
00:14:50that is, be able himself also
00:14:53to propose something. to do that will be
00:14:57tomorrow or the day after tomorrow a majority. He has work to do, he has work to do. Pablo, no
00:15:00reaction from Marine Le Pen but rather from Jordan Bardella.
00:15:04So the National Rally, which
00:15:07visibly distances itself from
00:15:10Donald Trump, because we remember that in 2017
00:15:13Marine Le Pen had gone to sort of hang around Trump Tower hoping
00:15:16to see, yes, to see if she
00:15:20could meet Donald Trump. Today we really feel
00:15:26with, so is it that this distance is not
00:15:29ideological? It's perhaps we're distancing ourselves because well he's
00:15:33he's controversial and radioactive, but fundamentally
00:15:36ideologically there are still between
00:15:39the two, well, things that
00:15:43converge. There are absolutely things that converge,
00:15:48the reactionary international, to use the term that was used by the President of the
00:15:51Republic to describe all these global far-right
00:15:54movements, of which Donald Trump was a key
00:15:58figure, but in which you found Javier Milei, Bolsonaro, who
00:16:01suffered a defeat not long ago,
00:16:05Netanyahu in Israel, almost a
00:16:08defeat also in Israel, Vučić in
00:16:11Serbia, who also suffered a defeat. This reactionary
00:16:15international is taking a lot of blows
00:16:18everywhere in the world, so it's normal that
00:16:22the French far-right says, "Well, we don't want to be on the
00:16:25losing side, so we're going to distance ourselves a bit."
00:16:29Especially since this distancing had
00:16:33started a long time ago because indeed the
00:16:36character, the furious character, the
00:16:40specificity of the French far-right is that it
00:16:43has been advancing masked for at least fifteen years now, since Jean-Marie
00:16:47Le Pen gave his hand a
00:16:49long time ago. How do I spend my time? I don't
00:16:53look at their masks, I look at what's
00:16:57anti-Semitism and racism, and
00:17:01that was also recalled by Mediapart, there's little but that's their
00:17:05political proposal, it's a position of "we are
00:17:08de-demonized so we want nothing to do with the
00:17:11neo-Nazis of Alternative for Deutschland, we want nothing to
00:17:15do with the follies of Trump and his
00:17:18way of kind of messing up the
00:17:21international game," except that, except that
00:17:25in fact they belong to this reactionary international, and
00:17:28so that's why we see, we were commenting on
00:17:31Jordan Bardella speaking on RTL, we see that he's uncomfortable,
00:17:34he doesn't quite know how to handle it. So he
00:17:38gives a description, a kind of cold assessment of what
00:17:42happened, saying yes, it's a defeat for Donald Trump and a
00:17:45victory for the Democrats. Great, thank you Jordan Bardella, we didn't need
00:17:48a party president to tell us these things. As for what
00:17:52Glucksmann says, I
00:17:54understand him too. He wants to go against the tide. He will
00:17:58now have to prove that he can
00:18:02make a proposal that is likely to win a
00:18:06majority.
00:18:08a project that can, a project capable of
00:18:11pleasing a majority of French people in this
00:18:15specific case, has Donald Trump fundamentally become a burden
00:18:18for populist right-wing parties in Europe and around the world, since you
00:18:22were talking about it, it's becoming it's becoming for these right-wing
00:18:26parties that Pablo, that internationally it's becoming
00:18:30indeed complicated in the current phase. Caution, three steps back
00:18:33or two steps sideways and and and... and
00:18:37we try not to show ourselves too much with him, but let's say
00:18:41two things: let's not forget that not long ago, he was a
00:18:44very positive reference that some, no, but we can't
00:18:48abruptly change so quickly like that, and
00:18:52it's not over, or the future
00:18:54is not decided, or Trump and the
00:18:58Trumpists are heading into a
00:19:02dead end and are finishing losing the
00:19:05next time what they still have left of... power today, or who
00:19:09knows, no right or not? Yes, I agree,
00:19:13and especially since Donald Trump has
00:19:16always, he has always, exactly, he still has the lever of
00:19:20American power and particularly American financial
00:19:23power. Let's not forget that a few months ago he gave millions
00:19:26to the Argentinians to save them from
00:19:29bankruptcy, that he had also promised millions to
00:19:33Orban in Hungary if he
00:19:36won. Fortunately, he was defeated, but they have that
00:19:40power to say, and he did it in several
00:19:43countries, if it's the one I decided would
00:19:46win, the one I like who wins, I will
00:19:49invest in your country and life will be
00:19:53better. Will he continue to do that in the next two
00:19:56years or not? Will he try to interfere, for example, in
00:20:00our elections, in the elections in France, by supporting Marine Le Pen
00:20:04or not? You also have Elon Musk who is spending, who has spent.
00:20:16I remind you that he tweets, so he can interfere
00:20:20with algorithms, he can interfere by changing algorithms
00:20:24to try to boost the National Rally, if
00:20:27it were his
00:20:29country. I
00:20:33I hear that, there are questions and
00:20:36they are serious.
00:20:45have just proven again that it existed and that there were
00:20:48rotations of...

00:21:55Elementaire presented by Alexandra Renard, to watch on
00:21:58France 24. It
00:22:14is a total falsification,
00:22:17a total theft of your votes.
00:22:23Georgia accused the ruling party, the Georgian
00:22:27Dream, of having used Russian methods to win
00:22:31the legislative elections. Many countries, including France, had
00:22:35called for an international investigation into possible irregularities,
00:22:39but the results had been maintained, and this election
00:22:42had triggered two large demonstrations which have now
00:22:45become the longest protest
00:22:48history. Every week, several hundred
00:22:52people gather to protest with an even greater
00:22:56mobilization on certain key dates. And the Georgian
00:22:59Dream, for its part, has intensified repression:
00:23:04agents has been toughened, several associations
00:23:07and NGOs have had to reduce or suspend their activities,
00:23:11arrests of demonstrators, activists,
00:23:13l'opposition se
00:23:16figures have even been imprisoned, and critics of the government claim
00:23:20that Russia continues to exert its influence over
00:23:24Georgia. A few
00:23:28the Georgian population declared themselves in favor of joining the European
00:23:31Union. Today, the accession process is suspended and
00:23:35European hope is at a standstill. Bill returns to
00:23:39Georgia. This is a report by Mariagert Nicolescu and Bastien
00:23:43Renault.
00:24:00advance with caution
00:24:03to avoid Russian
00:24:04soldiers.
00:24:11You see on the ridge, the wood has been
00:24:14cut. It's a road made by the
00:24:18Russians.
00:24:21We're going to climb diagonally up the hill to
00:24:24inspect
00:24:26the barbed wire.
00:24:50We are arriving at the occupation line. You see,
00:24:53it's the barrier erected by the Russians that
00:24:56goes down the middle of the
00:24:57forest.
00:25:02It is located about 500 meters below the official line
00:25:05of the so-called ceasefire agreement.
00:25:21not me and my friends, there is no political will to curb
00:25:25Russia, that's the reality and it's very
00:25:28sad.
00:25:34Okay, we have to go. On the way back, we
00:25:37notice these marks used by soldiers to navigate
