Trying something different today – world news in other languages. Today it’s Radio France International’s Le Grand Journal from 8:00 on October 24, 2014 – below is a word-by-word translation that you can follow along to figure out what it’s all about. Previous attempts have met with disastrous results, mostly because gist translations are wildly undependable. This one is a bit different and may be the way we’ll go in the future. It’s my way of making the world a bit smaller and realizing we ain’t alone.
Here we go:
Thank you for listening to France Inter. You have just heard the top 4, the top 4 that mark 8 o’clock. Excellent start of the day.Here is the newspaper of Michael Thébaud. Hello Michael. Hello Patrick, hello everyone.And Brazil is at 1 this morning, at J-2 of the second round of the presidential election. The outgoing Dilma Rousseff digs the gap on the right-wing candidate. Very aggressive campaign.Where do we get it? We will see it, the icons. Good news. This morning, from Indonesia, the two French journalists in prison for two and a half months will be released next Monday.In Brussels, an agreement already qualified as historic agreed on the 28th last night on a reduction of at least 40% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. And François Hollande, who also takes advantage of it, you will hear him talk about the budget. The end of life is this overwhelming report.Less than 20% of concerned French manage to benefit from palliative care, scandalous, unacceptable for your guest. Patrick, live from 8h20. The president of the National Ethics Consultative Committee, Jean-Claude Amézen, who publishes a new report on the end of life.He finds that there is no consensus on euthanasia or assisted suicide, but he defends the right of patients in terminal phase to a deep sedation until death. Jean-Claude Amézen with us until 9h45. Your questions on the end of life or other ethical questions, 01 45 24 7000.And on social networks with the key word interactive. In Journal Encore, the reopening tomorrow of the Picasso Museum in Paris. Splendid screen.At the end of football, Europa League, three French clubs in Lille last night. Guingamp, Lille and Saint-Etienne, no jealousy, same score for everyone, zero everywhere. The Brazilians will therefore designate their president this Sunday.Second round between the left candidate, Dilma Rousseff, and the center-right, Aïssio Neves. And the last polls give the outgoing president largely favorite, with a credit rate of 54% of the voting intentions, against 46, Senator Neves. And to reassure the victory, well, the Rousseff camp released yesterday the icon, Lula.In San Gonçalo Brazil, near Rio, Olivier Poujada. He reappears for his last days of campaign in the streets of San Gonçalo, one of the largest polling stations for the Workers’ Party. Lula, inimitable speaker, resumes service.Voting for Dilma is almost a question of honor for the workers, the middle class, the entrepreneurs who believe in this country. She is not the candidate of the bankers, of the FMI, of the speculators. Dilma is the candidate of the people, of the workers of this country.A 20-minute monologue with always the same story, his story, that of a kid from the northeast who became president after knowing the end. Words that still sound just as fair to Wagner’s ears. We feel, we know that he came from the people, he came from misery.He knows what poverty is. The other candidate, Aïssio Neves, he always had a good life. At 17 years old, he spent his time surfing in Ipanema.The influence is certainly not that of the great years when he was president, but the party has everything planned, stickers, flags, some militant buses coming to thicken the ranks of a show that could allow Dilma Rousseff to make a difference. Rio, Nicolas Mathias, Olivier Poujat, France Inter. The air report of our special envoy can also be found on video from this morning on our website franceinter.fr Two other important reports this Sunday.Legislative elections in Tunisia, almost four years after the fall of the Ben Ali regime. What score will the Islamist Nenarda party achieve? This is one of the main issues. The few 200,000 Tunisian voters from France are called to vote from this morning.And then legislatives also in Ukraine, still under tension. The Ukrainian Prime Minister took action last night against two possible attempts to destabilize Russia. 8h04 on Inter, a good news this morning from Indonesia.Yes, Thomas Dandua and Valentin Boura, the two French journalists arrested in August for having carried out without authorization a report on separatist rebels, were sentenced this night to two and a half months in prison, but, and this is obviously the good news, the sentence covers the temporary detention carried out, which means they will be free next Monday. In Jakarta, Cléa Broderst. After many administrative and long-awaited detention, she can’t wait to find her loved ones in France.To find my family, my fiancé, my grandmother who is sick, and to find Paris which I missed so much, and especially I missed the city and to be able to walk freely in the street. The prosecutor requested a fine of two million Indonesian rupiahs, equivalent to 130 euros. Their equipment will be returned to them except their computers, but they will not be banned from the territory.They came to investigate a rebel movement in the region this summer. The Papua question is a rather delicate subject in Indonesia, but the new president Jokowi has already explained he wants to show more flexibility and open the province to foreign journalists. Cléa Broderst, Jakarta, RFI for France Inter.And our brothers risked up to five years in prison. Another collision this morning on a Russian airport. The Dekaterinburg airport in western Russia.A plane of the Russian airline Ural Airlines crashed on the runway. A vehicle intended for luggage suffered little damage and no injuries. While in Moscow, Russian investigators and French experts of the BEA advance in the investigation on the crash of Christophe de Margerie’s plane, security failure and human error exclusively on the Russian side.Here are the two now privileged leads. Still a lot of questions this morning about the motivations and personality of the Ottawa shooter. The Canadian police now affirm that his attack on parliament on Wednesday was not related to the other murder at the beginning of the week in the suburbs of Montreal.It is an isolated act committed by a man who did not appear in the list of the most potential Jihadists but who did not have the right to leave Canada. This 32-year-old man lived in Ottawa in precarious conditions and he seemed to be preparing his departure rather than fomenting a terrorist act. On site for France Inter Frédéric Carbone.The Ottawa mission is an emergency housing facility installed at the foot of the parliamentary hill. This is where the shooter spent his last few weeks and all those who met him evoke a lonely man obsessed with the idea of fleeing Canada and coming to the federal capital above all to get a passport. One day I asked him why he didn’t give me his passport.I said jokingly maybe you’re forbidden to travel. He looked at me weirdly and answered me angry. I have to leave this country it drives me crazy.The police specify that this man was linked to a suspected terrorist and that he could have left for Syria. In this Ottawa we remember his desire to go to Libya on the land where his father He often mentioned it in front of Aboubacar. He also told us about his drug problems and his addiction to crack.It changed his personality He didn’t even talk to me. He changed completely. When he took drugs he was like another person.Aboubacar is wondering about the reasons for the crime. He describes the pensioner of his emergency as a man in a dead end prostrating all day on his chair before the crime which is still unexplained. Ottawa, Frédéric Carbone, France Inter.The Ebola epidemic is a first case confirmed in New York. A doctor from MSF from West Africa tested positive. It was the mayor of New York himself who announced yesterday that people should not panic.In Mali a two-year-old contaminated in Guinea. The child and her family were placed in isolation. In France François Hollande announced a widening of the controls not only in airports but in all modes of transport including maritime without any other precisions.It is from Brussels that the head of state spoke last night at the end of a summit dedicated to climate and the 28. These facts have come together on a climate plan which plans a reduction of at least 40% of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. A real advance to train the rest of the world.The United States and China are in the lead says the climatologist Jean Jouzel who joined us a few minutes ago by phone. It will be a point to train other countries maybe not enough but it is absolutely necessary. We know that the Paris conference 2015 relies on the strength of Europe’s training especially in relation to the United States and China these two countries representing 40% of emissions.Europe only represents 11% but I don’t think that Europe could have trained these other countries without themselves showing an ambition as it is less than 40% which is something already interesting but which is only a step towards a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of factor 4 by the year 2050. Of course at the global level what is important to limit the rise of global temperature is to train China and the United States with a level of ambition at least equivalent to this one of course. And this European climate agreement we come back to it with Bernard Guetta just after the news.And in Brussels last night François Hollande we also took the opportunity to talk about budget. Yes the European Commission wrote well to France as to Italy let’s say rather firmly of the President France will not make more savings than the one planned for next year. Louise Baudet.It is a letter that in Italy we did not hesitate to exhibit or even to tweet a letter from the Commission to the bad students of the Union. Among them France. And yes it did receive a letter from Brussels ended up recognizing François Hollande who minimizes.With the Commission we dialogue and by telephone not yet tweet I am sorry and by the epistolary way but it is a letter very banal. We can not publish banal letters since letters that simply ask information and who ask to continue the dialogue. Continue the dialogue no longer for very long we will give our answer at the end of the week precise François Hollande which is very clear France will not make additional savings.21 billion euros savings this is what we presented to Parliament we must stay there we will not go beyond but it is the document as it was presented then after you have to look for other means to achieve the objectives which are those of structural deficit. Achieve the objectives in other words come back in the Brussels clubs by scrutinizing each figure at the magnifying glass an oil bill a little less high than expected interest rates historically low which could lighten a little the cost of debt. In short, it is about to deny everything which can be by calculating at most the expenses to above all have nothing to ask more to the French.Louise Baudet it is tonight at 6 p.m. that we will know the unemployment figures for the month of September and the Prime Minister takes the lead we must not expect good news said yesterday Manuel Valls Prime Minister who must leave resign it is the President PS of the General Council of the Jura Christophe Perny who affirms it even calling the citizens of the left to disobey in the face of an ineffective policy he says and who installs the FN in France. No answer yet this morning from Manuel Valls. It is 8h11 on Inter the cold shower for the inhabitants of Seine-Saint-Denis two years of additional work for the extension of lines 12 and 14 of the Paris metro.Technical difficulties contention administrative debate with the riverians result the RATP pushes back to 2019 instead of 2017 the implementation of these extended lines hard blow for Robert Villiers for Saint-Ouen whose elected merchants and inhabitants were waiting for this for years already. Julie-Marie Lecomte It was not already reassured the merchants of Saint-Ouen especially those who have their shop on the side of the town hall where the line 14 but this time Manuel Cartier the president of one of the associations that defends them speaks of fatal blow. We had to deal with an incompetent gang it’s sure no business will be able to hold with two years more.Two lines which had to improve the daily life of the inhabitants of Seine-Saint-Denis late 2019 the schedule is not acceptable esteems Stéphane Troussel the president of the General Council asks that everything is done to reduce as much as possible the delay. Big companies like the STIF and the RATP have the capacity to mobilize to catch up the delays. We have to save time because every month when the prime minister announces that we are not able to advance the schedules of the transport lines to the airports there is something a little contradictory and incomprehensible for the inhabitants in terms of the lines whose work has already started who have a vocation to serve the neighborhoods in terms of proximity well there it is skidding that is announced.On his side the mayor of Aubervilliers where the line 12 asks for accounts Pascal Baudet promises not to stay there I am stunned angry and disgusted he says. Julie-Marie Lecomte the price of gas is rising plus 2.3% to count from November 1 that we knew on the other hand we learned last night that the prices of electricity were also going to increase next Saturday plus 2.5% that is 37 euros more on average per year for a home heating up electrically. The amazement in Lunel near Montpellier the inhabitants have learned the death in Syria of four young presumed jihadists native of the city men from 19 to 30 years old who had left in Syria for some with women and children how did they leave there? Is it an isolated group? Does there exist a recruitment line in Lunel? Unanswered question this morning even if Philippe Moissenier municipal socialist advisor had already warned about the risks of radicalization of the young people of his municipality in October 2013 he is worried about the phenomenon and maybe more about the silence that surrounds it.The fact that young people from Lunel were gone it was known in the city and it was the taboo subject and I think we have to get out of this law of silence because it is our children who are in danger and all children all because we can see there are also converts we see that there are young people who have left some have left they have never opened a Koran of their life they don’t even know what is written in it they don’t speak literary Arabic so we can see that we are facing a sectarian drift we have in front of us an indoctrination process there is the internet phenomenon and then locally from here to there we know very well that we have to deal with illuminates the Church of St. Theology they beat you up they take your money they beat you up they take your life now we have to work on prevention we have to talk to the children we have to talk to the parents we need more action education we need money on culture on sport on employment too because the unemployment of young people is huge in the city we have to give them a perspective of the future A speech hosted by Marie Siavaty of France Bleu Héros Football, third day of the Europa League three French clubs in Lille last night and no jealous same score for everyone 0-0 everywhere for Saint-Etienne against Inter Milan for Guingamp against Dynamo Minsk and for Lille against the English against Everton In Paris, after 6 years of closure and 43 million euros of work the Picasso Museum opens its doors to the public tomorrow enlarged illuminated transformed finished the dusty hotel of Salé in the Marais district the surface has been doubled 5000 square meters twice as many works exhibited Renaissance orchestrated by the architect Jean-François Bodin guided tour first with Laurence Perron She is agitated a bit like a housewife stressed by the time which goes out too quickly the guests who are already walking at the entrance while the parquet is still too loud that the reflections are still too present and the chairs yes, not enough chairs she is Anne Baldess-Arilex owner of the museum landed in the spring who has been and accepted to be a curator for this reopening we find her in one of the most magical spaces of the museum Les Combles where the particular collection of Picasso is hung so that’s his story he said I eat paint I feed on paint and we can see here the power of the links which are tied with these artists who are Anne her father Gauguin will wear his work throughout the period 1902 to 1906 and his filiations are woven very fine and I think we can see it here the new master of the places who comes from Pompidou-Metz receives him in the great staircase with the mine of someone who is already preparing the next step Laurent Lebon the museum is the place of the event it is the place where we wait we are thirsty for curiosity for novelty so we have this project indeed to renew the gaze because otherwise we can transform a museum into a tomb and it’s not our wish much more than a lifting the Picasso museum has changed its skin a large luminous ship ready to sail for adventures of shared Picassian art soon it will be New York then Pompidou and the Orsay museum and that it’s just the beginning to discover tomorrow morning very good day
