00:00:07Thank you for your attention, it's 4 PM here in Paris, the world tour continues
00:00:10first in France with its
00:00:12without getting out of very large processions, the CGT counts
00:00:1525,000 demonstrators at midday, this Thursday could be the peak
00:00:18of this social autumn, the parades are underway
00:00:23in homage to the victims of in Paris, we are being told of some tension at the head of the procession, purchasing power
00:00:28graph, always from remains the main subject, we will find Marie Chuster but also... Ludovic de Fouco to understand the reasons for
00:00:32this anger. Hello to both
00:00:35elections. The opposition corresponds to each stage of of you. We will also come back to these mysterious bomb
00:00:37alerts. They always concern planes flying over Europe. They have been very
00:00:41numerous since the beginning of the week. Several aircraft were diverted this
00:00:45Thursday. In the United States, nothing is on Donald
00:00:48Trump's agenda. It's Melania who is on the deck. The First Lady receives Russian
00:00:52and Ukrainian representatives this Thursday. Is the president weighed down by the defeat of his
00:00:56party in the mid-terms? We will ask Mathieu Mabin in Washington. Hello
00:00:59Mathieu. And then we'll also come back to possible changes internationally,
00:01:03with you Anne Corpe, hello Anne,
00:01:06officials to
00:01:17so it's a Thursday of protest here in France, whether in the public or private sector,
00:01:21workers are called to strike, a very welcome
00:01:24relay for students and high school students who have been carrying the movement since
00:01:27almost the start of the school year, the demonstrators... before
00:01:31leaving the Place de la République in Paris observed a minute of
00:01:35silence in homage to the victims of the racist attack in
00:01:37Trappes, we see here that
00:01:41there are many people in the streets of Paris. You are in the Parisian procession between Place de la
00:01:45République and Place de la Nation. We are therefore being told of some tensions at the front of the procession and for the
00:01:49rest,
00:01:49yes,
00:01:54yes, indeed, some tensions have already been reported at
00:01:58the front of the procession.
00:02:00Ukrainians, they hope. for I am currently in the heart of the procession, approximately in the middle of the procession, just
00:02:03behind me have just passed the inter-union, the
00:02:06high school students and students who have been calling to block
00:02:10the country for almost a month now, but young people are not the
00:02:14only ones who came out today since I remind you, it's a general
00:02:17strike day, we were able to meet
00:02:20whistle for the start of private sector employees, also civil servants but also retirees
00:02:23among whom, Joël who is 85 years old, hello
00:02:27Joël, Joël, you caught my... attention with
00:02:30your "angry grandmother" sign, you said you had 11
00:02:34grandchildren, why is it important for you to
00:02:37come and demonstrate today here?
00:02:40Well, let's say my grandchildren are not particularly
00:02:43disadvantaged,
00:02:45since Donald Trump took but there are so many, that's the reason
00:02:48why I also said
00:02:52that I also joined all the other grandchildren
00:02:56and I see that there are many
00:02:59young people. And young people who intercepted
00:03:02me, who sometimes wanted to take photos
00:03:06and it's true and I tell myself that
00:03:10well for you it was important to come and demonstrate, you told me that you left home alone,
00:03:13you finally joined the movement of students from the Orsay faculty,
00:03:17by chance, is that right, rather
00:03:21rather the staff of the Orsay faculty, right, indeed,
00:03:24and the current flows immediately
00:03:28in these... in these uh
00:03:32candidate against Trump in the conditions, yes, in these circumstances, right? Uh,
00:03:36well, we got lost. You told me
00:03:39that today it was important to come
00:03:42criteria, we exceed the and demonstrate because of the future of the children. Why is it important to
00:03:46come and demonstrate for the future of the children? You mentioned political
00:03:49courage earlier. I was very, I am very
00:03:53touched by the fact that
00:03:55our debt is,
00:03:59peak of explosion of to put it mildly, disproportionately large,
00:04:02right? And our
00:04:05leaders unfortunately lacked the
00:04:08courage to
00:04:12resist, especially when money
00:04:15was not only cheap but sometimes you were almost paid to
00:04:20Rafale and then a Mirage 2000 from the air take it, right? And
00:04:23I am very careful, for example,
00:04:25not to take my car
00:04:29unless I can't take my bike
00:04:33given about the origin of and to walk when I can't take
00:04:36my my my my bike. And
00:04:40I'm also happy to see
00:04:44that several of my grandchildren are very
00:04:47attentive to ecological
00:04:51problems, to the problem of
00:04:54animal suffering
00:04:57and I am on the
00:05:02in micro-enterprises, and then the soaring verge of being
00:05:03effectively
00:05:07to follow this
00:05:10policy as well.
00:05:13Thank you Joel, so we see here Julien as I told you, many retirees
00:05:17who also came out to support the younger
00:05:21generation who today are fighting for
00:05:24more purchasing power but also for ecological issues
00:05:28but also, we heard it a lot, this demonstration started
00:05:32with a minute of silence
00:05:35the Trappes attack, an anti-fascist demonstration
00:05:38also against violence and against movements.
00:05:42Fascist thank you very much Marister, thank
00:05:46you also to Joel who answered your
00:05:49questions, know also that the left-wing candidate Raphael Gluxman had to leave the
00:05:53demonstration because he was blocked by the demonstrators, we are also being told of tensions
00:05:57in Toulouse with the first shots of tear gas and then in Rennes,
00:06:01masked individuals attacked the procession, the prefect condemns
00:06:04absolutely inadmissible violence, at the heart of the
00:06:08demands, as we understood, salaries, purchasing
00:06:11power, for many
00:06:14French people, this remains the feeling,
00:06:17the feeling of no longer being able to live correctly from their work, it's not just a
00:06:20feeling, poverty is at its highest level in
00:06:24France in 30 years, you saw this report in Lyon filmed by Étienne
00:06:28Prijan and Marjury
00:06:28Nadal,
00:06:32high school demands, environmental, social, on the
00:06:35signs, there is also much talk of purchasing power, cost of
00:06:38living, this mother of a family, for example, who came
00:06:41to demonstrate, receives... the RSA, the inflation hit me hard,
00:06:45even a secret garden has become a great luxury and at some
00:06:48point it's easy to increase the prices of products but the VAT also
00:06:52increases, I accumulate pirouettes at the
00:06:55financial level, now it's electricity that will soon
00:06:59be reduced, these are meals
00:07:03that we skipped with the cats, I don't
00:07:06count them anymore, finally slogans to demand an increase in the
00:07:09minimum wage for retirement pensions, Laurent Jacket... at 61 years old,
00:07:13former employee in collective catering, he earns 1600 € net per month
00:07:17and pays 700 € in rent. I manage, but it's not easy every day,
00:07:21every day and every month, because when you want to go out once or
00:07:24twice a month you are quickly impacted,
00:07:27so we are between 43 years old, I know it was collective catering but I think
00:07:31no. Limiting oneself to the essential, this is also the case for Ingrid
00:07:35Godin who calls for more fiscal justice, employee,
00:07:39with one dependent child, she receives 2200 € monthly from... from the view it's
00:07:42not enough compared to the involvement that it represents, we must increase salaries,
00:07:46yes, without decreasing social contributions because that is what ensures us a
00:07:50system that allows us to get treatment and for people in
00:07:53retirement to have a decent income, which is not the case for everyone,
00:07:57what is the solution for the rich, fiscal justice, the real
00:08:01rich, according to the latest Ipsos barometer for Secours
00:08:05Populaire, 26% of French people, or a little more than a quarter of the
00:08:08population, consider themselves to be in a precarious
00:08:10situation.
00:08:12There you go, declassing and impoverishment are not just a feeling, with proof to support
00:08:16it from this article by the "Décodeurs du Monde" that you are presenting to us, Ludovic de Foucauld, yes, an
00:08:20article that first takes up figures published this summer by INSEE in
00:08:24the "Living Standards and Poverty 2024" survey, we will
00:08:27discover a visual from INSEE that summarizes the two key figures to
00:08:31remember, you see it on the screen, 9.8 million people below
00:08:35the poverty line in 2024, so below the poverty line
00:08:38in France means less than €1337 per
00:08:40month for a single person. less than €2807 for a
00:08:44couple with two children under 14 years old, and you said it, it's the highest
00:08:48level since 1996, the date at which INSEE measures
00:08:52poverty with comparable
00:08:55peak of 2011, so that was the financial crisis, and that of
00:08:582018, so at the time it was the decrease in housing benefits, the increase in fuel prices, and of course the time
00:09:02of the Yellow Vests, and what these figures say, so we're going to see the graph that shows
00:09:05the evolution since 1996, is that there isn't a
00:09:11poverty, but that it's a progression over these last years to
00:09:15stabilize at a high level and it's a real stabilization
00:09:19between 2023 and 2024, so we observe, we observe statistically
00:09:23in France a lasting aggravation of poverty and what is
00:09:27strange is that unemployment is falling and employment is increasing
00:09:30for 10 years, how can poverty increase at the same time? Exactly, so
00:09:34we are in the middle of a French exception which is revealed by the French
00:09:37Economic Observatory and we will see a somewhat complicated
00:09:41graph with many arrows, there you see, so there are many arrows of
00:09:45different colors which represent countries, and you
00:09:48see that these arrows tend to go downwards, but the one for France which
00:09:52is dark blue and in the middle, well, it goes frankly upwards,
00:09:56so what does that mean? It means that elsewhere in Europe, when the labor market
00:09:59improves, poverty decreases, but in France since
00:10:032014, both curves have been rising together, why? Well,
00:10:06it's the quality of the jobs created, that's what the observatory tells us,
00:10:10the multiplication of precarious contracts, especially
00:10:14number of apprenticeships since 2017, because apprentices count as jobs
00:10:18in statistics, but their remuneration is below the poverty
00:10:21line. Result: one in five self-employed people lives below the
00:10:25poverty line compared to less than one employee in 15, so we clearly see a difference here,
00:10:281/3 of working poor are self-employed and I add that
00:10:32this mainly concerns young people, so in France you can get out of unemployment
00:10:37poverty, employment protects less than before. France
00:10:41which nevertheless has one of the most generous social protection systems in
00:10:45Europe, does that mean it no longer works, Ludovic? Well, it still works but
00:10:48less well, let's go for another somewhat complicated
00:10:53the OFCE, so... there you see many layers of color, it
00:10:59redistribution, taxes, oh, it's gone, but it doesn't matter,
00:11:03taxes, benefits, minimum social benefits, etc., so this whole process continues to
00:11:06reduce the poverty rate by a little more than six points and thus prevents approximately
00:11:104 million people from becoming poor, but in
00:11:132013 this rate was 7.7 points, so that means we lost
00:11:17in ten years before redistribution, 37% of poor
00:11:20households escaped poverty thanks to benefits in 2017, they are only
00:11:2428% in 2023, so why?
00:11:26We saw it on the graph, we don't see it anymore, but I will
00:11:29explain, it tightened at the level of what was green on the graph, that is, because
00:11:33housing allowances decreased and family benefits
00:11:37were not very revalued, they did not follow inflation
00:11:41of 2022, 2023, well, that's where we see the effect it has. So regarding
00:11:45family allowances, I often talk about them here on this set, the lack of family
00:11:49policy in France and the priority given to the elderly, we could talk about it for
00:11:52hours, these are political choices that have been made. We are paying for them,
00:11:56finally, Ludovic, poverty, even in figures, remains, it remains
00:11:59abstract, concretely, what does it mean to live below the poverty
00:12:03line in France? Well, again, it is measured, INSEE and
00:12:07Eurostat define 13 desirable expenses for an acceptable standard of living
00:12:11and being deprived of at least five of these expenses means being in material and
00:12:14social deprivation, you are discovering this last graph, I promise, it's the last one,
00:12:18the one from Le Monde, easier to read this one, and we are talking, as you
00:12:22can see in this graph, about very common situations, not being able to... deal with an
00:12:25unforeseen expense of 1000 € so for example a boiler or car
00:12:29problem, so you see in blue are people in a situation of
00:12:33continuous poverty and in this situation, almost 70%
00:12:37of these people would not be able to cope
00:12:40with this unexpected expense of €100 whereas
00:12:44this concerns a little more than one person in 7 in the rest of the population
00:12:48so we continue with other concrete examples, not being able to afford a week's holiday in the year,
00:12:51that's more than half for the French in the yellow box, so uh, a situation of
00:12:55poverty, not being able to heat oneself enough, 23.5%, not
00:12:58being able to eat meat or fish every 2 days, 28.2%. So
00:13:02across the entire population, these deprivations remain minor, but it is the
00:13:06highest level ever measured and what is worrying is not only the
00:13:10level but also the duration, 71% of poor people in
00:13:132023 were still in 2024 and here too it is a
00:13:17record, long-term poverty, that is, more than 4 years, has
00:13:20almost doubled since 2008, so we are, and this will be the
00:13:24concluding remark, on a very worrying scenario in France,
00:13:27employment protects less, redistribution cushions less and
00:13:31deprivations tend to last, declassing is not just a feeling,
00:13:34it is unfortunately very real, very concrete in our country. Thank you very much Ludovic for
00:13:38these elements, what is happening in the European sky, for
00:13:423 days, traffic has been disrupted due to false bomb alerts,
00:13:4612, just this morning, moreover, several planes even had to be
00:13:49diverted, this is the case of an A320 from Dublin to Rome which
00:13:53had to make an emergency landing in Normandy. Manon Bougot and Audi
00:13:56Longuvalle,
00:13:58the passengers of this plane were supposed to land in Rome, here they are on
00:14:02the tarmac of the Évreux military base within
00:14:05the hour, their aircraft was diverted this morning due to a
00:14:09bomb alert, we divert the plane to the closest
00:14:13possible field that can accommodate it, in this case it must have been the Évreux field which
00:14:17is a military field, once the plane is on the ground, we call
00:14:20in bomb disposal operators. On board,
00:14:24there were... 51 passengers, six crew
00:14:26members, it is nearly 8 am this morning when their A320
00:14:30airliner from Aer Lingus takes off from
00:14:33Dublin heading for Rome, but after an hour of flight, the aircraft changes
00:14:37trajectory, it is then escorted by air force
00:14:41pilots. A
00:14:45and space force thus took off to proceed with
00:14:48the interception of this civil aircraft in the Paris sector,
00:14:51then its escort to the 105 Evreux-Fauville air base.
00:14:55For now, no information has been
00:14:58the alert, it is not the only plane that was targeted this morning by a bomb
00:15:02alert, there would be at least 11 others, and last Tuesday
00:15:06already, Ryanair flights were subject to threats, this is the case
00:15:10of this aircraft linking Manchester to Murcia in Spain,
00:15:13inspected by bomb disposal experts, these passengers
00:15:16evacuate, who sends these alerts and for what purpose?
00:15:20Each time the planes are searched and no suspicious
00:15:23device has been found so far.
00:15:26Also in the news, the consultations continue
00:15:30more than a week after the election in Israel, this morning President
00:15:33Herzog received a delegation from the United Torah Judaism party. An
00:15:37ultra-Orthodox party that refuses this time to join Netanyahu, this is very
00:15:41bad news for the outgoing Prime Minister who reiterates his accusations
00:15:45of foreign interference which would have favored the Arab parties. For his part,
00:15:49Gadi Esenkot sees himself there already, he tries to redefine relations between
00:15:52Israelis and Americans after the Democratic wave in Congress. Thibault
00:15:56Franceske. He is not yet Prime
00:16:00Minister, but Gadi Eisenkot is already projecting himself into the future of Israeli-American
00:16:04relations. While...
00:16:07negotiations continue to form a government after the legislative
00:16:13leader to Benjamin Netanyahu says he wants
00:16:16to strengthen ties with the United States. Under
00:16:19my leadership, we will renew and strengthen the partnership with the
00:16:22United States and consolidate the bipartisan foundations that have long
00:16:25supported it. A statement that comes the day after a crucial
00:16:29announcement by Donald Trump. He wants to cut American aid to
00:16:32Israel, established annually by Barack Obama in
00:16:362019. The United States has always been a major political
00:16:39and financial supporter of the Hebrew state. Last
00:16:42year, Israel was the second most aided country by Washington
00:16:46after Ukraine. Interviewed by telephone on Fox
00:16:49News, Donald Trump speaks of a mutually agreed
00:16:52decision. Bibi Netanyahu and I had concluded an
00:16:56agreement providing that we would pay $4 billion a year to Israel
00:17:00and we agreed a few months ago to end it. On their
00:17:03side, this suits them, because as you know, it has become a very prosperous country.
00:17:07They no longer need it. The announcement also comes at a time when Democrats have just
00:17:11won the midterm elections, and if Joe Biden
00:17:14was conciliatory with the Hebrew state until his departure, other
00:17:18Democrats did not hesitate to criticize the scale of the war in Gaza and the number of
00:17:22victims, the American Congress could therefore be less
00:17:25inclined to help Israel in the future,
00:17:29the victory of the Democrats which shuffles the geopolitical cards, we understood that,
00:17:33Anne Corpe, you have joined us, hello, first the
00:17:37American aid? Yes, well, it's not a done deal since the president
00:17:41keeps his hand on foreign policy but Congress which
00:17:44holds the purse strings may be able to
00:17:48negotiate with the executive a resumption of aid to
00:17:52Kiev in exchange for concessions made to Donald
00:17:56Trump or the re-establishment of sanctions that the
00:17:59president recently lifted, sanctions of course against
00:18:03Russia, anxious about his mark
00:18:06in history. Donald Trump will in any case undoubtedly want to
00:18:10move forward to resolve this Ukrainian conflict which he had promised
00:18:13to settle in 24 hours.
00:18:17Melania Trump is also receiving today a Russian delegation and a
00:18:21Ukrainian delegation. Zelensky is in Spain,
00:18:24I'm interrupting you because we see the image, yes, Zelensky meets the
00:18:28Europeans. Melania Trump, it's not the first
00:18:31time she's been involved in the issue, she had intervened to
00:18:35help Ukrainian children kidnapped by the Russians return to
00:18:38their country and then more recently she had
00:18:41participated in negotiations to impose a truce in
00:18:45the city of Oleshky occupied by the Russians
00:18:48to facilitate, pardon me, the evacuation of the
00:18:51population. Moreover, Volodymyr Zelensky presented her
00:18:55with a medal to commend her efforts
00:18:59in humanitarian aid. On the
00:19:01political front, an important meeting is planned next week in Abu
00:19:04Dhabi between Ukrainians and Russians under the auspices of the
00:19:08Americans. This type of meeting has not occurred since last
00:19:12February, and the Ukrainian president
00:19:16spoke at length yesterday with American envoys Jared
00:19:20Kushner and Steve Widkov, he again
00:19:24insisted on the need for new Patriot air defense
00:19:27missiles and also
00:19:31to obtain security guarantees in the event of a
00:19:34ceasefire. Russia, for its part, continues to
00:19:38rely on Donald Trump's more than conciliatory
00:19:42attitude towards it. The Kremlin highlighted the efforts of
00:19:45President Trump in favor of peace and Moscow
00:19:48does not seem to expect much from these talks.
00:19:52In any case, the Kremlin spokesman declared
00:19:55that Russia's interests will be guaranteed either by
00:19:59military means or by peaceful means, but
00:20:02that if a new personality emerged in
00:20:06Kyiv, in other words, no discussion
00:20:10possible with Volodymyr Zelensky for Moscow. What about Iran, does this
00:20:13new situation in the American Congress mean the end of the war? Well, there was this
00:20:17famous message from the American Vice-President on social
00:20:20networks who attributed the war
00:20:24in Iran to the failure of the Republican
00:20:26Corps in the midterm elections. Donald Trump
00:20:30himself acknowledged that the conflict had weighed in the
00:20:34balance due to the increase
00:20:37in fuel prices, but Donald Trump fully accepts
00:20:41his entry into war against Iran, he believes it was
00:20:45necessary. So, several times during the campaign, the American
00:20:49president clearly considered
00:20:52the resumption of massive strikes on
00:20:55Iran after these mid-terms he notably considered bombing
00:20:59you know the mountain of the pickaxe under which nuclear
00:21:03installations are hidden, so such an escalation would
00:21:06obviously lead to a new rise in oil prices
00:21:09which would increase American anger, even if he has nothing left to
00:21:13lose politically, Donald Trump is still concerned about
00:21:17his image. So he could favor
00:21:21an agreement to get out
00:21:24of this conflict, the problem is that the situation is much more
00:21:27complicated than before the war, there is obviously the question of the Strait
00:21:31of Hormuz, the Iranians maintain their
00:21:34desire to impose transit fees on this strategic
00:21:38strait, which is contrary to international law, and then there was
00:21:42the entry into the war of the Houthis who continue
00:21:45to attack Saudi Arabia, there were alerts
00:21:49this morning on the port of Yanbu, this is where the Saudi
00:21:53pipeline arrives through which a part of Saudi
00:21:56oil transits, prevented from passing through the Strait of Hormuz
00:21:59and there were even missile alerts
00:22:03on the Medina region in Saudi Arabia. In short, the
00:22:07negotiations promise to be complicated, they involve
00:22:10many actors and it is not certain that Donald Trump
00:22:14can get out of this quagmire easily. Thank you
00:22:18very much Anne, the lines are also moving
00:22:22internally in the United States, they are even shaking among Republicans,
00:22:24Mathieu Mabin, we find you for your daily column
00:22:28from Washington, hello to you, Anne said, Jed Devens questioned
00:22:32the war in Iran in the defeat of the right, the war that was
00:22:35unleashed by Trump, is there trouble in paradise between the president and his
00:22:38second?
00:22:43So he's clearly distancing himself, yes, that's for sure, traditionally when a
00:22:47sitting president passes this election period. and
00:22:50approaches the end of his second term, as is the case for
00:22:53Donald Trump, the post-term marks, it's
00:22:57true, the beginning of a new political sequence that will eventually lead to
00:23:00the presidential election, but this time we can say that the
00:23:04catastrophe recorded by the Republicans, because there are no other words, sounds
00:23:07like a premature
00:23:10the race to succeed the outgoing president, in fact
00:23:14those who have spoken out to distance themselves from Donald Trump, it's not
00:23:18just Jin Evanes. and criticize the strategy that was
00:23:22his for this election are those who will undoubtedly align
00:23:26for the Republican primary and the first of them is indeed
00:23:29the natural candidate, the sitting vice-president
00:23:32Jidevans. we know
00:23:35over the Oval Office that the legacy will be difficult to
00:23:39assume, it's pretty much a certainty with a character like that in the
00:23:42White House, we've been talking about it for 2 years, look at the
00:23:46convolutions that Marco Roubiot, for example, has to endure.
00:23:50by the head of American diplomacy to
00:23:53formulate a coherent and structured diplomatic statement after
00:23:56the impossible-to-assume statements of his president,
00:23:59but who can accept to take
00:24:03on this defeat today, that's the question, nobody really, not even
00:24:06Donald Trump whose triumphalist slogans a bit
00:24:10disconnected from reality abruptly ended a little over
00:24:1324 hours ago, you must have noticed, Nikki Haley,
00:24:17you remember that name, she had been... a tenacious
00:24:22last Republican primary, well she reappeared in
00:24:26recent hours to heavily criticize not only the
00:24:30president but the entire Republican administration. Ron DeSantis
00:24:33also, who was also running in the primary in
00:24:362024, he's the governor of Florida who presents
00:24:39himself as in this chaos that is hitting the Republican
00:24:43party as the last standing Roman state, so to speak, and it's true that
00:24:46Florida after the catastrophic collapse of...
00:24:50Texas appears as the last red bastion
00:24:53on the American electoral map, there are many others
00:24:57obviously and this is only the beginning finally, but yes the
00:25:00vice-president's position is somewhat uncomfortable and these
00:25:03first statements announce
00:25:06a cohabitation with Donald Trump that will be quite complicated for the
00:25:10next two years, which could become interminable for
00:25:13him, that's clear. Now, also pay attention
00:25:16to Donald Trump's reaction because it's interesting. "He
00:25:20doesn't disavow his vice-president yet, even though we know
00:25:24Donald Trump's propensity to execute those who risk,
00:25:28even the slightest infidelity.
00:25:30Vans says the war is the reason for their
00:25:34defeat. Trump replies that that's largely true, especially
00:25:38because of the rise in gas prices, but he adds that he would make
00:25:42exactly the same decision today as the one he made in recent
00:25:45months. In other words, they both recognize the electoral cost of
00:25:48the conflict. Their difference lies in what this
00:25:52political sacrifice could ultimately justify, and
00:25:55among the Democrats, Mathieu, since everyone is looking towards 2028, are
00:25:59we already starting to draw the political consequences of this very good
00:26:02sequence?
00:26:07Yeah, and it starts with a very concrete
00:26:10battle, who will lead this new majority and for what
00:26:13globally? It's a real question, in the House,
00:26:17Hakeem Jeffries is in a position to become the next speaker, he's the
00:26:20natural candidate, the first black person to hold this position. In the
00:26:24Senate, it's Chuck Schumer who thinks he will retain the leadership of the Democrats,
00:26:27even if several new elected officials have already announced that they will not
00:26:31support him. The cracks are starting to
00:26:35appear, the victory in fact does not therefore
00:26:38make the demands for renewal disappear, nor the
00:26:41divergences between moderates and progressives, which will be an essential
00:26:45factor in the next two years, these
00:26:47progressives will want to reap the dividends of their
00:26:51victory in Michigan, for example, moreover this new
00:26:54major political figure, moreover to answer your question directly,
00:26:58the first announcements are very
00:27:01aggressive. Garcia has called to lead the
00:27:04House Oversight Committee, he
00:27:06warns administration
00:27:10prepare their lawyers because lawsuits will be
00:27:14frequent, regular, aggressive. So
00:27:17we must prepare on our side to cover very dense news
00:27:21around the multiple investigative committees that will be launched, it's not a
00:27:24surprise in the coming days, and then I'll finish
00:27:28with this, Senator Ron Wyden announces binding
00:27:31subpoenas. The affairs of the Trump family and possible
00:27:35conflicts of interest are already in their sights with obviously
00:27:39the 2028 presidential election in perspective. Bring on
00:27:432028, thank you very much Mathieu Mabin and see you
00:27:46soon. We'll be back in 2 minutes, we'll talk about
00:27:50the demonstrations in France with this image from
00:27:53Toulouse where there are quite a lot of people and some tensions. See you
00:27:56right away.
