00:00:00You're listening to a program presented by Caroline de Camaret, to be seen on France
00:00:0324.
00:00:08It's 9 PM in Paris, more of the
00:00:10it's a bit delicate in terms of essentials on France 24. 160,000 according to the CGT,
00:00:1357,500 according to the Ministry of the Interior, the traditional
00:00:17battle of figures for this day of mobilization in France against the
00:00:20high cost of living, public and private sector employees were called to go on
00:00:24strike. Panic in the European sky, once again this
00:00:28week, air traffic has been disrupted by false bomb threats,
00:00:31a dozen this Thursday morning alone, several flights had to be
00:00:35diverted, and then Israeli President Isaac Herzog continues
00:00:39his consultations for the formation of a government, one week
00:00:42after the legislative elections, he spoke a few moments ago, he
00:00:45will announce, that's what he said, the name of the Prime
00:00:48Minister, on Sunday. For now, it's centrist Eisencott,
00:00:52Benjamin Netanyahu's main rival, who is in the lead. We'll talk about it in a moment with journalist
00:00:56the funding gap for Damar, and then to
00:00:58follow, COP 31 opens next Monday, but we're already
00:01:02talking about it in Elementary. Audrey Racine will come and tell us that the UN has
00:01:06noted an astonishing funding deficit for
00:01:09adaptation to climate change. Are we ready? No, that's the title
00:01:13of the United Nations report published yesterday. So, you have the program.
00:01:17the so-called
00:01:31The mobilization was generally peaceful. Another day of
00:01:35demonstrations this Thursday in France against the high cost of living, for jobs
00:01:38and salaries. High school students and university students, who have been denouncing
00:01:42their study conditions since mid-September, came to
00:01:45swell the ranks of private and public sector employees who were
00:01:49called to stop
00:01:49work.
00:01:53The streets of Paris were crowded, processions filled the capital
00:01:56but also several cities in France, between 600,000 demonstrators
00:02:03according to unions across the country. Education,
00:02:06ecology and purchasing power, demands
00:02:09Faced with these two heavyweights of defended by high school students, retirees and even
00:02:12families. Nadia Lenail is demonstrating with her son,
00:02:16she earns a good living and yet she
00:02:19Ted Cruz who has to make choices every day.
00:02:23It's 17 degrees at our place, but we make small savings like that. Earlier this
00:02:26morning in Perpignan, between 3,800 and 5,000
00:02:31hopes to recover part of demonstrators, among them, French people struggling to make ends meet,
00:02:33like this mother of three children, I'm not even at
00:02:37minimum wage, so at some point, it's not possible, I feel like I have a salary
00:02:41from 20 years ago, I can't survive on my
00:02:44salary, I don't even survive, I don't even live. A
00:02:48anger shared by this specialized educator, we work, we do demanding
00:02:51jobs, we end our months overdrawn, is it normal that
00:02:55employees can't make it to the end of the month? No, it's not possible to have to make
00:02:59choices, go on vacation with our children, do the shopping,
00:03:03do your shopping to fill your
00:03:06governments from fridge with few dollars, according to the count of means. In Lyon, this mother on
00:03:09welfare doesn't always
00:03:12manage.
00:03:16It's become a great luxury, the meals we skipped with
00:03:2014th century, the Apocalypse the little ones, I don't count them anymore. In
00:03:22Marseille, there were between 14,000 and 150,000
00:03:26demonstrators, here too the slogan was too low incomes.
00:03:30which are not increasing fast enough according to some
00:03:35Olesky, a city in southern employees,
00:03:37President Herzog said and even in large groups, this demonstrator is demanding general
00:03:40increases, the workload keeps increasing, but salaries
00:03:44are not following at all, we are offered paltry
00:03:48increases for very few employees at the end of the year, a purchasing power
00:03:52of the opposition crisis that mobilized strongly today, up to
00:03:54350,000 demonstrators in the capital according to unions,
00:03:58their representatives... demand that the lowest salaries be re-evaluated quickly,
00:04:02the minimum wage is 1477 euros net
00:04:05today, the CFDT
00:04:07It's 9:30 PM in Paris, the rest of demands more. Our basis for discussion is 100 euros, it's 100
00:04:10euros per month because we really need an electric shock effect.
00:04:14Today we cannot live on the minimum wage. They are not
00:04:18employees, but high school students have mobilized again. Beyond purchasing
00:04:21power, they are worried about their future and denounce today's
00:04:24difficulties, the physics-chemistry teacher for example, she got pregnant and we won't
00:04:28have a physics-chemistry teacher until the end of the year, we won't have a replacement, meaning that next
00:04:32year, if I want to take physics-chemistry I can't.
00:04:35To try to respond to this social anger, the Prime Minister announced a
00:04:39social conference with unions and employers, it will be held next
00:04:43Monday. Who will be tasked with forming a
00:04:46government in Israel? It is on Sunday that we should, in principle,
00:04:49have the answer to this question, according to statements made a few
00:04:53moments ago by President Isaac Herzog. Until then, he continues his
00:04:57consultations by receiving party leaders. No
00:05:00majority emerged
00:05:03from last week's legislative elections.
00:05:06It is centrist Gady Eisencott who, in any
00:05:10case, seems to be in a favorable position. We will come
00:05:13back to that in a moment with our guest, journalist Tamare
00:05:17Seboc, but in the meantime, we will come back to these midterms which
00:05:21leave a bitter taste for Republicans,
00:05:24so much so that score-settling is beginning while Donald
00:05:28Trump points to the weakness of some candidates, local
00:05:32elected officials, for their part, attribute this debacle to the occupant of the
00:05:35White House, Floren
00:05:36Rodaau.
00:05:40In the Republican camp, the road to the midterms has left a
00:05:44bitter taste and to explain it, some
00:05:47now do not hesitate to accuse publicly.
00:05:51On the White House side, Donald Trump and Jay Deven quickly named those
00:05:54they hold responsible, these candidates who are too weak in
00:05:58their eyes, candidates whose merits they had nevertheless praised during the
00:06:01campaign. On the side of local Republican
00:06:05elected officials, a completely different assessment was made: if they did not win
00:06:09seats in Congress, it is, according to them, because of the unpopularity
00:06:12of their president, below 30% favorable opinion.
00:06:16Predictable score-settling,
00:06:19because everyone knows, the next
00:06:22presidential election in 2028 will arrive very quickly and
00:06:26with it a central question: what strategy
00:06:29to adopt? Should we continue on the path of
00:06:33Trumpism, severely sanctioned at the polls
00:06:35on Tuesday? The candidates for Donald Trump's succession
00:06:39all have their own ideas, starting with J.
00:06:44On his social networks, the American vice president delivers
00:06:47his analysis on the reasons that led his party to this
00:06:51crushing defeat. The reason why he lost is
00:06:55the war. This war is the one waged in
00:06:58Iran by Donald Trump, even though he had promised not to engage his
00:07:01country in a new foreign conflict. A
00:07:05way to distance himself from the occupant of the White
00:07:08House, for the one who has already laid the foundations of a platform for...
00:07:14Among his potential rivals, Secretary of State
00:07:17Marco Rubio was very discreet during the campaign.
00:07:22the administration, other contenders will probably
00:07:26try to propose a Trumpist-hybrid model, like
00:07:31regretted the lack of listening in his camp or Ron
00:07:34DeSantis who is already advancing his pawns. Re-elected
00:07:38governor of Florida, the Republican said, he
00:07:43Donald Trump's legacy, while daring to make
00:07:46changes on certain key
00:07:48issues.
00:07:50And this change of color in the capital will obviously also have
00:07:54an implication on relations with
00:07:57Israel, Israel which, as I told you a few
00:08:00minutes ago, whose President Isaac will announce on Sunday
00:08:04who will be in charge of forming a new government. We will talk about it with you,
00:08:07Tamar, hello, you are a journalist, correspondent in
00:08:10France for Yediot Aharonot, the most widely read daily newspaper in Israel.
00:08:14Thank you for being with us. A word perhaps on these latest
00:08:18declarations by President Isaac who says he
00:08:21continues consultations with party leaders
00:08:24before making his decision on Sunday.
00:08:28What does this say, in your opinion, you who
00:08:32know Israeli politics very well, we
00:08:35know that it is used to these post-election upheavals?
00:08:38If the decision is effective by Sunday,
00:08:41that also means it went quite fast.
00:08:44Good evening. Yes, well,
00:08:49from the beginning that he would like to have a
00:08:53unity government, meaning a government
00:08:57of the center and of the right.
00:09:00This is something that the two parties,
00:09:04and of the coalition, do not seem
00:09:08to be able to do because they
00:09:11each exclude other parties
00:09:14that are part of this coalition. So normally,
00:09:17from the moment the President
00:09:21recommends the party leader who received the most
00:09:24support, he has
00:09:2828 days to form a government,
00:09:32plus 14 days after that, otherwise it goes to the
00:09:35next list. Except that what you need to understand is that the
00:09:39Knesset will meet, in any case, on
00:09:42November 10th. That has nothing to do with the formation of the
00:09:46government. So we are on two levels
00:09:49in which, on the one hand, we see that there is
00:09:53a majority for those who support
00:09:55Eisencott and who already plan to replace the
00:09:59head of the president of the Knesset.
00:10:03And on the other hand, Herzog, who is trying everywhere to find an
00:10:07arrangement for a national unity government because you
00:10:10rightly reminded us, that is, President
00:10:14Herzog will choose someone who has
00:10:17the most recommendations, it is not
00:10:20necessarily the one who is at the
00:10:23top of the list, I would say, it is not necessarily
00:10:27the one who came first in the legislative elections, it is really the one who will have the most
00:10:31recommendations. So,
00:10:35the law, the law is very subject
00:10:38to many interpretations on this, that
00:10:41means that President Herzog is not obliged
00:10:45to give the first chance to
00:10:49neither the largest party nor the largest coalition, it's a bit
00:10:52up to him to decide, what has happened until now in the entire
00:10:56history of Israel was that those who had the best
00:11:00chance of forming a government were given the mandate, that
00:11:03is to say,
00:11:06so he is not obliged but normally that is what
00:11:09follows from the situation we are in
00:11:13now. Eisencott, who also received
00:11:16the support of the Arab lists, is this support,
00:11:20in your opinion, sufficiently valuable and
00:11:23important for it to have an impact on
00:11:27the political agenda of the coalition led by Gady
00:11:31Eisencott? It's very important, it's especially important
00:11:34because Netanyahu's government did
00:11:37everything to discredit
00:11:42Arab party. I remind you that it also has Jewish Israeli
00:11:45voters who vote for certain
00:11:49Arab parties because they consider them to be unity parties. But
00:11:53well, it's not a majority. So the
00:11:57Netanyahu government managed
00:12:00to turn this idea of coalitions with
00:12:03Arab parties into a
00:12:07kind of scarecrow
00:12:11against the Zionist party, which is
00:12:14obviously a posture because the Netanyahu government has
00:12:17already collaborated with at least RAM
00:12:20who, well, they offered them to participate
00:12:26in their governments. So the Arab
00:12:30party will a priori not actively participate
00:12:33in their coalition but they will provide external support. External
00:12:37support means that they support
00:12:41this coalition, they recommend Eisencott and they will
00:12:44do everything, they will do everything so that it is
00:12:47not the current coalition
00:12:51that will form the government. So
00:12:55we are on levels, there are 20% of Israeli
00:12:59citizens who are Arab Israelis or
00:13:03Palestinians, they define themselves however they want, it's not up to us to define
00:13:06them, and who want to take part in
00:13:09the situation in Israel and in the political
00:13:13life of the country. So either we decide that
00:13:16they are not entitled to vote but
00:13:20they don't have a say, or we accept them
00:13:23as citizens. But in any case, often the
00:13:28support Arab parties
00:13:31the outside. Thank you very much, Tamare Sobok,
00:13:35correspondent in France for Yediot Aharonot, thank you for being our guest this
00:13:38evening. Good evening. And
00:13:42from the White House, Melania Trump called for a lasting
00:13:46ceasefire in Ukraine. The wife of the President of the United States, who for several weeks has been put
00:13:49forward in attempts at mediation between Kiev and Moscow,
00:13:53held a press conference. Alongside Russian and
00:13:56Ukrainian representatives, she cited
00:14:00Ukraine located on the front line where weapons fell silent
00:14:04for 6 days last week, the longest ceasefire
00:14:07since the start of the
00:14:09war.
00:14:12To the condemnations made notably by the United States and the European
00:14:16Union, China responds with irresponsible criticism after
00:14:19the verdict against Joshua Wong. Already imprisoned for 6
00:14:23years, the Hong Kong activist, a symbol of resistant youth against
00:14:26Beijing, will remain 10 more years behind
00:14:30bars. The report from Baptiste
00:14:32Falvos.
00:14:35He was due to be released from prison in a few months, after serving an initial sentence
00:14:38of 4 years and 8 months for subversion. Joshua Wong will therefore
00:14:41presumably remain 10 more years behind bars. The Hong Kong court found
00:14:45him guilty of collusion with foreign countries. He was accused
00:14:48of having pressured these countries and international
00:14:52institutions to sanction China on the national stage. And once
00:14:56again, Joshua Wong therefore suffers the fate of this law on
00:14:59national security which was imposed by Beijing in 2020 to
00:15:03silence all dissent in Hong Kong, and under which, moreover, many
00:15:07people have already been sentenced to heavy penalties. Joshua Wong is
00:15:10one of the figures, if not the leading figure of the pro-democracy camp in
00:15:14Hong Kong. He has been active since the age of 15, he has been involved in many
00:15:17struggles, particularly during the immense demonstrations of 2019 in
00:15:21Hong Kong against the growing interference of Beijing, of mainland
00:15:25China on the territory. Let us remember that Hong Kong, retroceded to
00:15:28China in 1997, should normally maintain its
00:15:32political, legislative, and judicial status until
00:15:352047, according to the famous slogan "one country, two
00:15:38systems." This is not the case in reality, as China has
00:15:42accelerated its takeover of the territory in recent years. Freedom
00:15:45of expression is increasingly muzzled, demonstrations are
00:15:49almost non-existent. A little earlier this year, the businessman
00:15:52and press baron Jimmy Lai had been sentenced, still under this
00:15:56national security law, to 20 years in prison, the heaviest sentence
00:16:00so far against a Hong Kong dissident. All right,
00:16:03it's time for Elementary, right now in the main news.
00:16:11with Audrey Arassine, good evening Audrey, we are obviously
00:16:13going to talk about the environment, the climate COP, more precisely COP
00:16:1731. So it opens next week, but the UN is already warning about the
00:16:21funding which is very far behind. Yes, the fight against climate change,
00:16:24adaptation and loss and damage, the environmental disaster
00:16:28is decidedly very expensive. The UN has quantified in a report published yesterday
00:16:33adaptation in a report entitled "Are we ready?"
00:16:38No, that's the title and it's quite explicit and here's what we can
00:16:41read: "Much remains to be done to implement adaptation measures
00:16:45at appropriate levels. Financial flows reached 31 billion
00:16:49700 million dollars in 2024, but actual
00:16:52financial needs amount to approximately 305 billion dollars
00:16:55per year by 2035." 31
00:16:58billion, 305 billion, the calculation is quickly done, you need
00:17:02to multiply funding by 10,
00:17:05and this figure is not obviously from nowhere, it
00:17:09corresponds to the investments that developing countries must
00:17:13make to build dikes, to limit floods,
00:17:17build resilient buildings and infrastructure
00:17:20resistant to climatic hazards and
00:17:23even secure the food supply of their citizens by
00:17:26developing a more resilient agriculture to hazards, all of
00:17:30that requires funds and today the UN has calculated that for every dollar
00:17:33invested in adaptation, poor countries receive only
00:17:3810 cents, which means that the climate disaster they
00:17:42did not cause is hitting them even harder.
00:17:45This funding deficit is astonishing for UN
00:17:48Secretary-General Antonio Guterres who published this video
00:17:52today on the internet.
00:17:55Adaptation is about protecting people from today's climate crisis
00:17:59and investing in the common security we will need
00:18:02tomorrow, but the latest report on the adaptation gap highlights
00:18:06a lack of
00:18:08resources. Developed countries must keep their commitments, the most vulnerable need
00:18:12quick and easy access to aid, development banks
00:18:15must step up their efforts, we know who is most
00:18:19exposed, we know what works and what is missing are the
00:18:22financial resources and the political will. The choice is simple:
00:18:26invest in adaptation today or pay the price of disaster tomorrow.
00:18:29And tomorrow is already
00:18:33today because I remind you that in 2025, the
00:18:3710 biggest climate catastrophes cost a total of
00:18:40120 billion
00:18:43the British NGO Christian Aid. Among them are
00:18:46the Los Angeles fires, Hurricane Melissa, the
00:18:50torrential rains in Southeast Asia or the floods in China,
00:18:53India and Pakistan, and we can imagine that the funding deficit also concerns the
00:18:57loss and damage fund. Yes, this deficit is general.
00:19:01Look at the envelope available to the world to
00:19:04compensate countries affected by climate disasters. It
00:19:08amounts to 342 million dollars and the requests that have
00:19:12been made to benefit from these compensations amount to 2 billion
00:19:15800 million dollars, so obviously there's a hole in the coffers, but
00:19:19worse than that, most of the aid is currently in the
00:19:23form of loans, meaning that the countries that benefit from them end up
00:19:27with an increased public debt and once again they
00:19:30are impoverished, their development is hindered, it's a double whammy. So
00:19:34as you can imagine, as with the biodiversity COP, there will be a lot
00:19:37of talk about financing in the climate conference that opens
00:19:41on Monday. The French Minister of the Environment, Monique
00:19:44Barbu, will also lead the discussions on this subject in Antalya, Turkey.
00:19:48We will therefore have the opportunity to talk about it and I will leave the final word to the Executive
00:19:52Director of the United Nations Environment Program on the
00:19:55urgency we are
00:19:57facing.
00:20:00Abandoning the goal of 1.5 degrees of global warming is absolutely out of
00:20:04the question. No country will argue in that direction because it is a vital
00:20:07issue that everyone will face in their own
00:20:10way. We've been saying it for 30 years, but before we said the
00:20:14window was closing, now the window has been closed for some
00:20:18time. We need in the coming years to force
00:20:21it open again so that we can bring the curve back below
00:20:251.5 degrees. If we miss this window, it will be too late. There is
00:20:28a latency period in the response system, which is why I ask where is the
00:20:32plan, where is the plan for these long-term investments? It takes
00:20:36time, but it also takes time to exploit an oil field or build a coal
00:20:40power plant. Nothing more. So
00:20:42see you in 5 years, so 5 years will go by very quickly.
00:20:45Thank you very much, Audrey Racine, Elementary. In 5 years, he will be
00:20:4946 years old. Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to
00:20:53hang up his boots in a context of tension with his
00:20:56coach. CR7 has announced his international retirement
00:20:59after 23 years spent defending the
00:21:02colors of Portugal. CR7, his five Ballons d'Or
00:21:06among others, since he is also, of course, the top scorer in the country's
00:21:09history with 146 goals scored in 234 matches.
00:21:12Series
00:21:19his selection. In a video filmed at his home, Cristiano
00:21:22Ronaldo announces with great emotion the end of his adventure with
00:21:26Portugal.
00:21:29I will always keep the pride of having worn this jersey, Portugal will
00:21:33always be part of me, goodbye and until
00:21:35next time.
00:21:38He wore this jersey for the first time at the age of 18,
00:21:42a year later, Portugal hosted the Euro,
00:21:45Cristiano Ronaldo then scored his very first goal with the Seleção but
00:21:49lost in the final against Greece, his tears went
00:21:52around the world, the one who would later be nicknamed CR7 does
00:21:56not know it yet, but will become a living legend, he
00:22:00now holds several world records among men, that of the number of
00:22:04goals (146) and the number of matches played in
00:22:07the national team at 234. Another
00:22:10record, this year Cristiano Ronaldo became the
00:22:13first player in history to score in six World
00:22:16Cups.
00:22:20is very grateful for everything he does for our team and for all his
00:22:24efforts for us, despite his age
00:22:26today, thank you for everything
00:22:29Ronaldo.
00:22:33His celebration after each goal is now the most famous in the
00:22:37world. The problem is that the striker had
00:22:40very few titles to celebrate with Portugal: the Nations League in
00:22:442019 and 2025, but especially
00:22:47Euro 2016. Except that this time... It's not Cristiano
00:22:51Ronaldo, who left in the 20th minute due to injury, who
00:22:54liberates his nation, but Eder who scores the winning goal in
00:22:57extra time. CR7 did not really end
00:23:01his career well. His last moments with the Seleção are tinged
00:23:05with bitterness due to his relationship with the national coach.
00:23:08George Jesus is accused of having disrespected Cristiano
00:23:12Ronaldo by relegating him to a substitute role, which
00:23:16hastened the player's departure in the middle of the Nations League.
00:23:21Ronaldo made Portugal known around the world. What George
00:23:25Jesus did to him is the most shameful thing one can
00:23:27do.
00:23:31Some nevertheless point to his declining performances and his
00:23:35oversized ego.
00:23:38Ronaldo was a great player, we can't take that away from him, but I think
00:23:42this decision to
00:23:43retire
00:23:50is well and truly over. At 41, Cristiano
00:23:53Ronaldo continues to make goals in Saudi Arabia for the
00:23:57Al-Nassr club.
00:24:01Stay with us, the essential continues on France 24. In a moment, we
00:24:05will go to Anger for the restoration of a monumental work from the
00:24:10Tapestry.
00:24:20in the European Union, and so many challenges to overcome between an
00:24:23unpredictable Donald Trump and a Vladimir Putin who threatens our
00:24:27security, Europe is at a crossroads in a hostile
00:24:30world. Defense, economy, health, climate, on all these
00:24:34subjects, Europeans have questions and expectations.
00:24:38Every week on France 24 and the parliamentary channels, Ici l'Europe opens the
00:24:42debate with those who make Europe at the heart of
00:24:44institutions. Ici l'Europe, we debate it, presented by
00:24:48Caroline de Camaret, Tibo. and Alexandre Poussard to
00:24:52watch on France 24.
00:25:52"a part of the history of this city is disappearing
00:25:55due to demolitions and
00:25:58rehabilitations that do not respect what
00:26:02we call the heritage protection and enhancement plan. There is a
00:26:06enhancement plan, it is a kind of architectural adjustment that
00:26:10allows the buildings to be
00:26:14rehabilitated, to be in conformity
00:26:17with the ancient architecture.
00:26:37our population, generally people do not want to talk about it on
00:26:41Cenu, it's like really a taboo
00:26:43subject, it's rare to see populations
00:26:47talk about slavery. Well, I'm sure
00:26:50that this slavery, many Cenu residents do not know about
00:26:54slavery,
00:26:59but the national rich by...
00:27:04focused on slavery on Gore
00:27:07and on colonization on Saint-Louis, trying to show both
00:27:11sides, the bad side
00:27:14and the useful side.
00:27:17So that's why colonization colonial is also a necessary
00:27:21evil, so there is a very painful part, we don't even want to
00:27:25talk about it, but still there is another part today that can
00:27:28be well valued.

00:30:09the essential on France 24 from Italy to Finland,
00:30:13passing through France or even the Czech Republic, no less than a dozen
00:30:17flights were disrupted this Thursday morning due to false
00:30:20bomb alerts. It is unknown if they are linked, but some
00:30:24planes had to be diverted, like the one that linked
00:30:27Dublin to Rome, Manon
00:30:28Bougo,
00:30:31in this plane. Passengers who were supposed to land in Rome,
00:30:35here they are this morning on the tarmac of the military base
00:30:38of Evreux. Their plane has just been diverted
00:30:41due to a bomb alert, a few minutes
00:30:44earlier, passengers filmed inside without really
00:30:47understanding what was happening, through the
00:30:51portholes, we realized that we were escorted by a military
00:30:53plane, we hope it's a false
00:30:56alarm.
