00:00:24every time I listen to the news, Trump says something racist or
00:00:27homophobic, it's exhausting. "We
00:00:30were a beautiful country, now we're the country everyone laughs
00:00:34at,
00:00:37I almost take it as an insult, when someone tells me, 'Oh, you're American,' I
00:00:40say yes,
00:00:41unfortunately.
00:00:45The first time Trump was elected, I
00:00:48had just entered university, and everything was
00:00:52different. I had the right to decide what happened to my
00:00:55body, it became really hard to be a woman in
00:00:58the United States." And from the moment a woman is forced
00:01:02to have a child when she could die from it, it's no longer a country where I want to
00:01:05live.
00:01:08This was one of Donald Trump's major battles. Since
00:01:112022, the right to abortion is no longer guaranteed in
00:01:14the United States, and the number of women prosecuted for pregnancy-related
00:01:18crimes has increased sixfold. So
00:01:22this summer, Emma Hensley left the Florida sun and headed
00:01:26to Dublin. Leaving was an easy
00:01:29decision. Trump made it very easy. As soon as I
00:01:33arrived in Ireland, I could
00:01:35the publishing me, it did me good. At
00:01:3828, she's starting a new student life at Trinity
00:01:42College, the oldest Irish
00:01:44university.
00:01:47Here, American student enrollments have doubled on average in recent
00:01:50years, and more and more PhD students and
00:01:54professors are coming to enjoy academic freedom, now
00:01:57threatened in the United States.
00:02:07At the business school, many, like Emma, who worked at
00:02:10bit a victim of her frivolous image, of Microsoft, fled the tech sector crisis in the United States
00:02:14to try their luck in Ireland.
00:02:18They told me there was no more budget for my position due to our
00:02:21investments in artificial intelligence. It's a
00:02:25way of saying that AI took my place, so I
00:02:29have to go back to school, learn to talk to the CEO. In any case,
00:02:33in Ireland, there are many
00:02:35opportunities,
00:02:38opportunities, because for 20 years, Silicon
00:02:41Valley giants like Meta, Salesforce, Google, and
00:02:45Airbnb have made Dublin their European base, attracted by a
00:02:48favorable tax system.
00:02:51Thanks to them, Ireland has one of the strongest growth rates in the European
00:02:55Union. Since Donald
00:02:58Trump's re-election, nearly 20,000 Americans have settled
00:03:02on the island. For some, it's also a return
00:03:05to their roots, because one in ten Americans claims
00:03:09Irish roots, like these tourists from
00:03:12Chicago. We were told about this in school, the
00:03:16great Dutch family, part of my family immigrated at that
00:03:19time and the other after.
00:03:23In County Cork, Cove was the main departure
00:03:26Stanislas Rigo, manager of port. This is where Danielle Rottman's ancestors
00:03:30embarked for the New World in the 30s.
00:03:34female condition, whether through I feel like I've come home.
00:03:37Nearly a century later, he has made the reverse
00:03:40journey. In Alaska, he was an engineer at
00:03:43the American agency for the protection of oceans, fishing, and
00:03:47climate. In 2025, she became the target
00:03:50of Elon Musk, tasked by a freshly re-elected Donald
00:03:53Trump to save the government a trillion
00:03:56dollars. They saw a whole bunch of...
00:04:00marine biologists, doctors who spent their time counting
00:04:03fish and then telling fishermen not to
00:04:06catch them. For a billionaire who builds
00:04:10rockets and
00:04:13time, yes, with this refrain about computers, all this made no sense, so he said: Get rid
00:04:16of half. Daniel loses his job, as does half of
00:04:20his department. The cuts also affect weather and national
00:04:23parks, with serious consequences for
00:04:25the environment.
00:04:28What Trump is doing
00:04:31deeply harms our
00:04:34ambushed China, we will talk about country, its image in the world, its economic weight, and its
00:04:38foundation as a democratic
00:04:40republic.
00:04:43Forced into early retirement, he is starting his life over in the small town of Malo.
00:04:52disputes between states and EU
00:05:14Daniel carefully keeps his memories of the anti-Trump demonstrations.
00:05:30I've always felt Irish, that's why I would like
00:05:33citizenship.
00:05:57door to citizenship. So, like Danielle, more than 30,000
00:06:01Americans have applied for passports since 2024, an unprecedented
00:06:47situation, and we, I think, look at it with humor.
00:06:51You're in the right place, don't
00:06:54worry.
00:06:56I think most Irish people are not very pro-
00:07:14Danielle's wife will join him soon, they will only
00:07:17return to the United States to see their
00:07:20children. For others, the departure is
00:07:23definitive.
00:07:26This is the case for Ophelia, 25 years old, and her wife Zara,
00:07:2923 years old, a transgender
00:07:37they left everything behind to seek asylum in Ireland
00:07:41and are content €38 per week
00:07:44each. Well, we do what we can, but it's not so bad, you
00:07:48see, we bought
00:07:49canned goods.
00:07:52In general, we buy a lot of canned
00:07:53goods.
00:07:56Since Trump's return, the United States only recognizes two
00:08:00biological sexes, and the administration is multiplying measures
00:08:03limiting the rights of transgender people. These
00:08:06policies have led to an increase in violence that Ophelia and Zara have
00:08:10suffered directly.
00:08:43After a first interview, their asylum application is being
00:08:46processed, a procedure that can take
00:08:49years. If rejected, they could be deported back to
00:08:53the United States.
00:09:02We hope that one day we will have legal status and be able to start
00:09:06working.
00:09:12I didn't have that chance. and then build a decent
00:09:14life.
00:09:17We'll see, but yes, we will
00:09:19see. Like Ophelia and Zara,
00:09:2394 Americans applied for asylum in Ireland last
00:09:26year, an unprecedented number. In Dublin courts, nothing has yet
00:09:30been decided, but for lawyer Kaal Malon, these cases could
00:09:33create a legal precedent difficult to
00:09:35navigate. To be honest, at first I found it a bit
00:09:39delusional, but the more we look at what is happening in the United States,
00:09:43people, the more we realize that, in many ways, the
00:09:47request is completely
00:09:48legitimate.
00:09:54There have been enormous changes at the federal level. Hospitals are
00:09:58threatened with budget cuts if they provide transition care, and the
00:10:02State Department is also interfering by refusing to issue passports to people who do not
00:10:05apply with their sex at birth.
00:10:09If Ireland grants asylum to a whatever it may be, it is a
00:10:13direct criticism of that country. So, when the requests come
00:10:16from a country we consider a friend, we end up with a diplomatic
00:10:19problem.
00:10:22Historically allied with the United States, the authorities.
00:11:26I think like many countries in the
00:11:29world,
00:11:31Ireland is willing to criticize Trump's policy when
00:11:34necessary, but it also wants to stay on good terms with him.
00:11:52especially in the tech and pharmaceutical sectors. a lot of tax
00:11:58Even with advantageous taxation, American
00:12:01companies represent 75% of the corporate tax collected
00:12:04by Dublin. Without them, the famous Celtic
00:12:08Tiger would collapse.
00:12:11These multinationals, MMA and many American students dream of working
00:12:14for them one day. While waiting to graduate, they are enjoying a
00:12:18new start and closely following the
00:12:20elections.
00:12:23It will take at least 5 or 10 years to...
00:12:56Emma plans to settle permanently in
00:12:58Ireland, and she's not the only one. According to a recent
00:13:01poll, 20% of Americans say they want to leave the United States.
00:13:21The 124th Prix Goncourt was awarded
00:13:25in the first round of voting to Philippe
00:13:28Genada.
00:13:31It's a tradition, the most prestigious of French literary
00:13:34prizes was announced from the Drouant restaurant in Paris, and it's
00:13:38a historical and literary investigation that was rewarded
00:13:42with "The Unknown of Ketjavel" by
00:17:01Prix Goncourt. Reaction: it's joy, I'm happy, it's a pleasure,
00:17:05it was suspense.
00:17:07It's funny, I also think of Louise Canso and especially all the young
00:17:11women who resembled her or who resemble her even today,
00:17:15so for me it's an achievement if you will, it's in any case an
00:17:18honor, but well, I
00:17:21think of people who are not at Drouant right now, I absolutely don't want my life
00:17:25to change, I'm going to be a bit in some whirlwinds, some small
00:17:28turbulences, but I want to quickly find my peaceful,
00:17:31immobile, isolated life of writing in
00:17:35a few weeks, a few
00:20:26will note nevertheless that the laureate is once again a
00:20:29man. In 124 editions, the Goncourt has crowned only 13
00:20:33women, which is only one out of 10, and this rate has not changed
00:20:36much until today, while women, let's remember, wrote 53%
00:20:40of the novels recorded in 2025 by
00:20:43the legal deposit observatory of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.
00:20:47Parity, we're not quite there yet at the Goncourt. He still
00:20:51has work to do. And since we're talking about figures, Stanislas, for
00:20:5510 years, the books awarded the Goncourt prize have sold at
00:20:58least 200,000 copies in the year of their victory. This continues in subsequent
00:21:02years, almost 500,000 for Laurent
00:21:16that systematically multiplies, that is to say that even a very criticized Goncourt... even
00:21:20a perhaps weak Goncourt, it will be a sale, typically in the
00:21:23bookstore, a low Goncourt is 300 copies, there are
00:21:27very few books that I see at 300 copies a year in fact, so that means
00:21:31that even uh a Goncourt not not
00:21:34really important or one like that remains a very big seller and for
00:21:38example in these last years the Andrea Veillé sur
00:21:41elle uh it returns in January we are very impatient
00:21:45uh sold 2500 copies that's and then you
00:21:48must not forget that there is the paperback
00:22:17it's true that the race for this Goncourt prize
00:22:212026 was marked by the controversy that is currently unsettling
00:22:25world, the one concerning Telison
00:22:28Aurélien's book, "This or Die", which was on the lists of many
00:22:32literary prizes, the Canadian author of Haitian origin who was accused
00:22:35of using artificial intelligence for
00:22:38the writing of this very acclaimed first novel, suspicions confirmed
00:22:41since by his Canadian publishing house which broke his
00:22:44contract, and his name was therefore removed from all the lists of
00:22:48prizes, Stanislas. What is your view on all
00:22:52this? Is it also a concern in bookstores among
00:22:54readers? No, I think, well, it's
00:22:58a question, the thing about this
00:23:20I loved this book so much, uh I read it twice, I hosted
00:23:24the author, it really broke my heart, really, should there be a
00:23:27mention perhaps written with AI, is that something we
00:23:31could imagine? In fact, in all the crystallization of the
00:23:34debates, there have been so many debates about it, in fact it has been, in fact, very little
00:23:38understood, which is however one of the keys, in my opinion, to the book, to
00:24:08we are in the middle of the literary prize season so the second Goncourt prize
00:24:11Renaudot was awarded in the wake of François Henry des
00:24:14Érables for "Le Palais", the Prix
00:30:26France international with a disruptive American president like
00:30:30Donald Trump who challenges international law. an expansionist
00:30:33Vladimir Putin and an
00:30:37the rule of law in Europe, and for that
00:30:40we welcome the president of the Court of Justice of the European
00:30:43Union, hello, this institution,
00:30:46I specify, European is based in
00:30:49Luxembourg and interprets European legislation, settles
00:30:54institutions, but also sometimes those between individuals, businesses,
00:30:58NGOs, and an institution that would have...
