00:00This is L'Heure du Journal, welcome to Mediain TV for the first of this edition.
00:19The first international reactions are down from foreign leaders and political leaders
00:26who have saluted the rejection of the far-right or the maturity of the political forces during the legislative elections in France.
00:34The economic community of the states of Africa and the West has come together on Sunday to warn that the region is at risk of disintegration after the creation by the military regimes of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
00:52And then, under the effect of greenhouse gas emissions, humanity's world temperature records have continued to fall for more than a year.
01:06June 2024 became the hottest month of June ever measured, erasing the record already broken in 2023.
01:16Now let's move on to our special report on the legislative elections in France.
01:26The French National Assembly, which, to govern, after the surprise of the anticipated legislations that have clearly slowed down the unfolding National Assembly,
01:48is looking for a parliamentary majority, a puzzle for the Union of the Left, which is fragile despite its first place and a Macroni in the back.
01:59The verdict of the ballot has been spoken, but the uncertainties remain more than ever.
02:05Neither the new Popular Front, around 190 seats, nor the presidential camp, around 160 seats, nor the National Assembly and its allies, more than 140 seats, can reach only the 298 deputies necessary for the absolute majority.
02:20Three weeks before the Olympic Games in Paris, the outgoing Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, must resign this morning to Emmanuel Macron, even if he has said he is ready to stay in Matignon as long as the duty requires it in the context of the ILO.
02:38The position of the President of the Republic is also highly anticipated because he has the power to nominate the Prime Minister.
02:49Regarding the results of this second round of legislations in France, I invite you to listen to Denis Pouillard, Professor of Political Sciences.
03:01Surprised, everyone is surprised, insofar as we were getting closer, according to the estimates, until Friday evening, we must not forget it, of the various polling stations, we were always projecting a relative majority, of course, of the RN group.
03:20And then, surprise, I would say, happy surprise, for those who defend the Republic, in any case, to see the left, in its plural composition, gathered in a kind of confederation, going from LFI to various left, but in any state of cause that comes to mind,
03:42followed, and this will be an important observation on my part, by Ensemble, the group of the presidential majority, which, contrary to what was said, had to collapse for weeks and weeks, and which, in fact, still maintains an important existence, with a group within the Ensemble group, the Renaissance group, which will probably be the second group of the National Assembly.
04:11So, this is still an important point. Do not forget, however, that the RN group, even if it has fallen very low, in relation to the estimates, remains the main group of the opposition now at the National Assembly.
04:26This must not be forgotten. In the future elections and delegations that will take place, the election of the president, of the National Assembly, the different positions that will be distributed, so we will have to think, and I draw attention to this, on the notion of opposition.
04:47This is the first time that we have in France, during legislative elections or other elections, a type of cohabitation that we had never known. We knew the cohabitation of the President of the Republic against the Prime Minister and his majority.
05:03We will have an executive bloc that will be faced with an assembled group. This is a model of cohabitation that we did not know and we cannot know how it will actually happen. I think that in any case, the situation tonight is better than if it had been the National Assembly that was in charge. It goes without saying.
05:28The first international reactions have fallen. Foreign leaders and political leaders have saluted the rejection of the far right and the maturity of the political forces during the legislative elections in France, which saw the left-wing alliance come out ahead of the presidential camp and the far right.
05:46The Socialist Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, congratulated that France and the United Kingdom have opted for a rejection of the far right and a firm commitment in favour of the social left.
05:56The Brazilian President, Luiz Delula, saluted on Sunday the triumph of the far left. The head of the Social Democratic Party of the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, judged yesterday that the worst had been avoided with the disappointing score of the far right in the French elections, which Emmanuel Macron, in his eyes, has done politically.
06:23Let's now listen to the reaction of the leader of France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
06:53Indeed, the lessons of the vote are clear. The defeat of the President of the Republic and his coalition is clearly confirmed.
07:11The President must bow and admit this defeat without trying to avoid it in any way. The Prime Minister must leave.
07:30Camarille Attal announced yesterday that he would resign on Monday. Emmanuel Macron, an announcement made after the announcement of the results of the legislative elections, which put the left-wing in the lead. The French Prime Minister said he is ready to stay in Matignon as long as the duty requires it. I suggest you listen to him.
07:52Tonight, the political training that I represented in this campaign, although it achieved a score three times higher than what was predicted in recent weeks, does not have a majority. Thus, faithful to the republican tradition and in line with my principles, I will resign tomorrow morning to the President of the Republic.
08:13I know that in light of the results of tonight, many French people feel a form of uncertainty about the future, since no absolute majority emerges. Our country knows a political situation without precedent and is preparing to welcome the world in a few weeks. Also, I will obviously assume my functions as long as the duty requires it. It cannot be otherwise on the eve of such an important event for our country.
08:43The writing of these results with the political analyst and editorialist Mustapha Tosa.
09:13There is an upside-down earthquake effect that is taking place. To explain this result, there are only two rational reasons to explain it. The first is that the logic and dynamics of the Republican Front worked at full strength. At one point, the French were afraid of being governed by the National Front.
09:35And they mobilized. The proof is that the participation rate is historic. They went en masse, perhaps not to give their confidence to the left, but more to refuse seats at the National Assembly.
09:49So there is an electric shock that has crossed French society and that has pushed young people to vote. We will see in the evening the sociology of votes, but according to the images we saw on TV, there were a lot of young people who mobilized to vote.
10:10And when we say young, we mean the left, France Insoumise. On the other hand, when we say workers or retirees, it is much more the National Assembly or Renaissance.
10:22And the second reason that explains this is that the technique of resignation, which was given as an order from the first evening of the first round, also worked wonderfully. All the candidates who could risk winning the National Assembly withdrew to allow the left to settle and triumph.
10:46And to allow the National Assembly to live, not a defeat, because it still has an important group, much more than what it had in the old Parliament. But there is hope, without a doubt, compared to Jordan Bardella and Marine Le Pen, who were already dreaming of Matignon and who were already starting to distribute the post of minister.
11:12I now invite you to listen to the analyst Bashir Thiam, journalist and specialist in public relations.
11:42We were talking about Bardella earlier, about whether he had the shoulders to govern a country like France. We were talking about the 7th world economic power, nuclear power. Maybe Marine Le Pen was at the limit.
11:56Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at
12:26the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he wasn't at the limit. Maybe he
12:49on the legislative elections in France.
13:03In the news also, Israeli demonstrators
13:06marched in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in a scandal.
13:09We will not give up.
13:11This Sunday, the second consecutive day of increased pressure
13:15in favor of an agreement on the release of hostages in Gaza.
13:19While the war between Israel and Hamas
13:21is in its tenth month,
13:23the demonstrators called for it.
13:25Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
13:27concluded a truce and an agreement
13:29on the release of hostages or resigned.
13:32In the two largest cities in Israel,
13:34the demonstrators blocked the roads
13:36of tens of thousands of them
13:38paralleling traffic at the main crossroads
13:40and on a highway in the center of Tel Aviv,
13:43where the police used water cannons
13:45to disperse them at 9 p.m. on Saturday.
13:48The organizers of the demonstration
13:50estimated that some 176,000 people
13:52had gathered in a crossroads
13:54of the country's economic and financial center,
13:57one of the largest demonstrations
13:59since the beginning of the war.
14:06The West African Economic Community
14:08met at the summit yesterday
14:10after the region risked disintegration
14:12after the creation by the military regimes
14:14of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso
14:16of a confederation.
14:18The three countries convened
14:20Saturday in Niamey,
14:22the formation of this confederation
14:24of Sahel states.
14:26Their first summit,
14:28organized as a challenge,
14:30the one of the CEDAO,
14:32but the latter, once again,
14:34after the decision earlier this year
14:36of Mali, Burkina and Niger
14:38the CEDAO was also confronted
14:40with the persistent violence of the terrorists,
14:42financial problems and difficulties
14:44to create a regional force.
14:46The measures taken by the West African bloc
14:48in the face of the creation of the confederation
14:50by the three countries
14:52were not known at the end
14:54of its summit organized in Abuja.
14:56The head of the CEDAO's commission,
14:58Maharalya Torai,
15:00warned on Sunday
15:02that the three countries risked diplomatic isolation
15:04and the loss of millions
15:06of euros in investments.
15:14At the end of the first summit
15:16of the Sahel states alliance,
15:18Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger
15:20decided to form a confederation.
15:22An appreciated decision.
15:24Aba Makko, Mohamed Tanioukou
15:26collected some reactions.
15:28Aba Makko, the first summit
15:30of the Sahel states alliance,
15:32has been closely followed
15:34The speeches of the three presidents
15:36have then made the first of the debates
15:38in the seeds.
15:40The decision to close the summit,
15:42to go to the confederation,
15:44did not surprise many.
15:46We are already in a confederation
15:48that does not say its name.
15:50Since the beginning of the crisis
15:52in these three states,
15:54which are Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger,
15:56the states have begun to consolidate
15:58through the foreign affairs ministers.
16:00With the creation of this alliance
16:02and the establishment of a joint force
16:04in March last year,
16:06some believe that the confederation
16:08will help more in the fight
16:10against terrorism,
16:12but not only.
16:14If they manage to get together,
16:16to give a hand,
16:18I think it will give
16:20a new momentum
16:22for security.
16:24And then,
16:26on the economic level,
16:28I think these three countries
16:30have a lot of natural resources.
16:32And I think that
16:34it will be good
16:36for the population
16:38of these three countries.
16:40A little surprised
16:42by the speed of the events,
16:44some say they observe
16:46for the moment the implementation
16:48of this confederation
16:50and see its results on the ground.
16:52It's a first for us.
16:54Besides, it was a surprise
16:56for me personally.
16:58We will not judge
17:00without seeing
17:02the actions of these three heads
17:04of state
17:06and how this new adventure
17:08will unfold.
17:10We will observe
17:12and see.
17:14We wish them good luck.
17:16It will be difficult.
17:18There are many challenges ahead of them.
17:20At the end of this summit,
17:22it was agreed that Mali
17:24will hold the presidency for a year.
17:26This is a parliamentary decision
17:28on the period
17:30before the next summit
17:32planned in a year.
17:34Under the effects of
17:36greenhouse gas emissions,
17:38global temperature records
17:40continue to fall.
17:42Since more than a year,
17:44June 2024 has become the hottest month
17:46of June,
17:48never measured,
17:50erasing the record already beaten
17:52in 2023.
17:54It is the 12th consecutive month
17:56to set a higher average temperature record
17:58than the equivalent months.
18:00This is what the European Observatory
18:02Copernicus announced on Monday
18:04with this series,
18:06powered by an unprecedented ocean overheating
18:08that absorbed 90% of the excess heat
18:10caused by human activity.
18:12The world average temperature
18:14over the last 12 months
18:16is the highest ever recorded
18:18according to Copernicus.
18:20June 2024 is another
18:22objective that exceeds 1.5
18:24the average of the pre-industrial era
18:26according to Carlo Guatempo,
18:28Director of the Service for Climate Change
18:30at Copernicus.
18:32This 1.5
18:34is the most ambitious objective
18:36of the 2015 Paris Agreement
18:38signed by almost all countries.
18:46That's all for now.
18:48Thank you for watching.
