01:06Welcome ladies and gentlemen,
01:08without further delay, to our special file dedicated to the American presidential election.
01:17The American presidential election
01:25It's a historic Tuesday in the United States.
01:27Today, the Americans choose their 47th president.
01:31A historic result in the end of an unprecedented and undecided campaign.
01:36Until the end, the polling stations are open at 6pm local time and 11pm GMT.
01:42Millions of voters will be added to the 82 million ballots already in the polls,
01:47by way of anticipation.
01:49The latest polls show that Donald Trump is almost equal in the seven crucial states.
02:00Controversial figure in American politics,
02:03Donald Trump, former tenant of the White House from 2017 to 2021,
02:09continues to mobilize a large base of support.
02:12Despite his judicial debauchery,
02:14the Republican candidate remains a central actor
02:18with his discourses focused on immigration, the economy and a conservative vision of America.
02:30Former President of the United States,
02:32Trump is back in the race for the American presidency.
02:35After his reversal against Joe Biden in 2020,
02:38he defied the results of the elections,
02:41provoking a political crisis that culminated with the assault of the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
02:47But who is Donald Trump really?
02:49Where does he come from?
02:51How did he get there?
02:53Soheil Jalil shows us the portrait of the former tenant of the White House.
02:58Who is Donald Trump really?
03:00A person who divides Americans and even the whole world.
03:04The 45th President of the United States
03:06is for the third time in the American presidential election
03:10and will face Democratic candidate Kamala Harris on November 5, 2024.
03:15Born on June 14, 1946 in a remote New York neighborhood,
03:19Donald Trump grew up in a wealthy family.
03:22His father, Fred Trump, was a successful real estate promoter.
03:26Despite a difficult education,
03:28Donald managed to get a diploma in economics at the University of Pennsylvania.
03:33With the fortune offered by his father,
03:35he began his own career in real estate and built a commercial empire.
03:40In 2016, Donald Trump won the presidency
03:43despite the predictions that saw him lose to Hillary Clinton.
03:47His slogan, Make America Great Again, convinced many voters.
03:52His mandate was marked by controversial decisions,
03:55such as the ban on entry to the United States for people from this Muslim country,
03:59the construction of a wall on the Mexican border
04:02and the separation of families from expelled clandestines.
04:05Despite several accusations and trials,
04:07Donald Trump remains very popular among American voters.
04:11He has recently been targeted by several assassination attempts,
04:14but this did not prevent him from continuing his campaign
04:17with fracas between buzz and murderous sentences.
04:20Polls show a close competition between Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris,
04:26making this election one of the most disputed in decades.
04:30As the elections approach, the question remains,
04:33will Donald Trump succeed in becoming president again?
04:38Kamala Harris, who could become the first woman to lead,
04:42the first world power,
04:44called to open the next chapter of the greatest story ever told.
04:49We vote because we love our country
04:52and we believe in the promises of America, she wrote.
04:55To convince in just three months of campaign,
04:58the Democrat bet on a message of protection of democracy
05:02and the right to abortion intended for women,
05:05like moderate Republicans.
05:13And she could become the first woman to lead the United States,
05:17already the first black woman elected prosecutor of San Francisco,
05:21then the first black woman elected Attorney General of California.
05:25Kamala Harris embodies everything that the supporters of Donald Trump hate,
05:29which is rather hidden behind the character
05:32of the Democrat candidate at the 2024 presidential election.
05:35Suhail Jalil raises the veil.
05:41Kamala Harris, a pioneer against the ultimate green carpet.
05:44Carrier of hope for Democrats,
05:47Kamala Harris is racing to the presidency of the United States,
05:50Harris wants to get his party out of the lethargy
05:53set by Joe Biden and stop Donald Trump,
05:56the 59-year-old Californian is for a long time
05:59a rising figure of the Democratic Party.
06:02The one whose name means lotus flower in Sanskrit
06:05embodies a multiplicity of origins.
06:08From a Jamaican family on her father's side,
06:10economist at Stanford and Indian on her mother's side,
06:13oncologist at Berkeley,
06:15young Kamala lived as a teenager for several years in Canada
06:18after the divorce of her parents.
06:20For her higher studies, she returns to the United States.
06:23She graduated in political science and law,
06:25joined the California Barreau in 1990.
06:28In 2003, she became Attorney General of the District of San Francisco,
06:32then in 2010 Attorney General of California,
06:35each time a first for a woman and of color of superstardom.
06:39After two Attorney General mandates in San Francisco,
06:41she was elected twice, Attorney General of California,
06:45becoming then the first woman and the first black person
06:48to lead the state's most populous judicial services in the United States.
06:52Criticized for her severe repression of small offenses,
06:55which, according to her opponents, mostly affected minorities,
06:58in 2022, Kamala Harris took with fervor
07:01the defense of the right to abortion,
07:03challenged by the Supreme Court.
07:05If Kamala Harris is elected,
07:07there will be, for the first time,
07:08an American of the second generation in the White House.
07:11Her battle horse is the right to abortion.
07:14Kamala Harris has been campaigning for a long time
07:16to guarantee access to abortion in the United States again,
07:19which has not been the case in the whole country since 2022.
07:22She also does ecology,
07:24the defense of minorities,
07:25central issues.
07:26In the anti-chamber of power,
07:28Kamala Harris will become, despite everything,
07:30President of the United States.
07:34Will the winner of the American presidential election
07:36be known tonight?
07:38Once the polling stations are closed,
07:40the counting of votes will begin
07:42in all American states.
07:44However, given the latest polls,
07:46it may be that the results
07:48of this unprecedented scrutiny
07:50will not be immediately known
07:52the very evening of the deposition process.
07:55In particular, votes by correspondence
07:58and electronic bulletins could last
08:00hours or even days
08:02in some states.
08:04A context that can make the suspense last
08:06to determine who will reach
08:08the threshold of the 270 major voters required,
08:11or half of the 538 major elected voters
08:14to win the race to the White House.
08:21Meanwhile, Washington accuses Moscow
08:24of disinformation in the swing states,
08:26the seven key states where the American presidential election could take place.
08:30According to Washington, Moscow could be actively involved
08:33in disinformation operations.
08:36Russia is the most active threat
08:38in its American states,
08:40assures in a joint statement
08:42the FBI,
08:44the Office of the Director of National Intelligence,
08:47and the Cybersecurity and Security Agency
08:50of Infrastructure.

09:26The same dynamic is being played out
09:28in Kamala Harris and Donald Trump
09:30for the election.
09:32candidates for the US presidential election will live their election night
09:36thousands of miles from each other.
09:39The Democrat organizes her election night in her former university,
09:44the historically black institute Howard in Washington.
09:48Donald Trump will be in Palm Beach, Florida,
09:52his residence where he must vote.
10:02Today, it is also in Spain where the government has approved an emergency plan of 10.6 billion
10:19euros to come to the aid of the inhabitants and companies affected by floods.
10:24This first emergency plan includes direct aid as well as tax relief for companies,
10:31for which the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has also affirmed.
10:38As I said today, and I also said that day,
10:42they will not divert me from the main focus.
10:45The protagonists are the affected citizens.
