00:00German Chancellor Friedrich Merz told the Munich Security Conference that the world order as it has stood for decades no
00:07longer exists.
00:10The United States will deploy the USS Gerald Air Ford aircraft carrier to the Middle East to pressure Iran into
00:17negotiations over its nuclear program.
00:21Speaking at the opening of the Munich Security Conference, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz delivered a stark diagnosis of the decades
00:29-long global order that he says no longer exists.
00:49Merz also addressed the eroding transatlantic relationship between the US and Europe.
01:34This new context, Merz warned, suggests that countries like Germany will have to completely rethink their approach to security and
01:41self-defense.
01:45The United States is deploying a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East as President Donald Trump seeks increased pressure
01:53on Iran to negotiate over its nuclear program.
01:56The USS Gerald Ford is widely considered to be the world's most powerful and advanced aircraft carrier.
02:02It is joining the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is reportedly already positioned in the Arabian Sea, along with its guided
02:09missile destroyers.
02:10Trump warned Tehran on Thursday that failing to reach an agreement with his administration would prove very traumatic.
02:18The US and Iran held indirect talks in Oman last week.
02:22Meanwhile, Iran faces continued domestic anger over the bloody crackdown on nationwide protests that took place in late December and
02:31earlier January.
02:32The discontent may intensify as families of those killed in last month's crackdown on nationwide protests begin traditional 40-day
02:41morning ceremonies.
02:44European Commissioner for Sport, Glenn Mikhailov, has said he respects the International Olympic Committee's decision to disqualify a Ukrainian skeleton
02:53racer, Vladislav Heraskovich.
02:56The athlete was disqualified over his custom-made helmet, which featured portraits of athletes killed in Russia's invasion.
03:03A subsequent appeal launched by the athlete was rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sports on Friday.
03:13I'm sad to see that the situation could not be resolved before the competition, I think, in a way that
03:21would have allowed him to express himself and pay respect to the fallen heroes in Ukraine.
03:27Ukraine is going through a very tough time.
03:29We've just seen in the previous message the difficult situation that Ukraine is going through.
03:37But the decision by the IOC is one I respect.
03:41And I respect particularly the fact that Kirstie Coventry, the president of the International Olympic Committee, was speaking to Vladislav
03:50face-to-face, explaining the situation, trying to resolve the dispute through dialogue.
03:56The IOC allowed Heraskovich to remain at the Olympic venues in Milan and Kortina, even without competing, as this controversial
04:04ban came before his first run.
04:07The helmet, at the center of the controversy, depicted over 20 Ukrainian athletes killed in Russia's war against Ukraine.
04:20Disinformation campaigns aimed at destabilizing Europe and its leaders are in full swing on social media.
04:26Among the countries most targeted is France, which is frequently attacked by pro-Russian actors.
04:32To combat disinformation, the French government created a profile on X called French Response, launched in September 2025.
04:41The account, which uses a provocative, humorous and ironic tone, has become a real diplomatic tool, according to Pascal Confravreux,
04:49spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
04:52L'inflation, c'était qu'on ne peut pas gagner la guerre informationnelle si l'on ne mène pas la
04:57bataille.
04:58Il fallait hausser le pont, monter le pont, dans une change de posture, avec une réaction rapide face aux attaques
05:05informationnelles étrangères ou sportives contre nous,
05:09ou à pouvoir rétablir une forme de dissuasion, c'est-à-dire en exposant le ridicule, le gros ficelle ou
05:16le gros mensonge,
05:17et en disant que si vous vous attaquez à la France, vous pouvez vous exposer à être un peu aussi
05:22ridiculisé par cet externe de poste.
05:26On sait que les individus s'informent de plus en plus via leur chambre à écho sur les réseaux sociaux.
05:32Pourquoi ces personnes, et les personnes particulièrement vulnérables à la désinformation,
05:37choisiraient de faire confiance à un compte géré par le ministère des Affaires étrangères ?
05:42C'est le même pari que nous menons.
05:45Notre premier poste, c'était, je me rappelle, au tout début de septembre 2025,
05:49c'était de répondre à un interview de Marco Rubio,
05:52qui était de dire que nous étions responsables de la fin des discussions entre le Hamas et le TESNU,
05:56en annonçant notre volonté de reconnaître qu'il n'est pas ici.
05:59C'était juste faux.
06:01Notre premier poste a été dit, voilà, ce qui était passé à quelle heure le matin,
06:04c'était la rupture des discussions entre le Hamas et le TESNU,
06:07et notre annonce de reconnaissance s'est passé bien après, plusieurs heures après.
06:12In particular, the government supports the strengthening of the Digital Services Act,
06:16a European regulation that aims to make digital platforms accountable,
06:20particularly with regards to online disinformation.
06:27The aftermath of a deadly storm continue to disrupt parts of France on Friday.
06:33State forecaster Meteo France warned that some regions in the southwest are still at risk of flooding.
06:38Là, nous sommes à 8,75 m ce matin à l'échelle de l'aréole,
06:44ce qui correspond à une forte crue,
06:47mais on est encore assez loin de l'épisode de 2021 qui était à 9,80 m,
06:55et de l'épisode de 1980 qui fait date, qui était à 10,50 m.
07:03Donc voilà, il y a encore de la marge au pire,
07:07mais on s'approche des niveaux qui sont des niveaux problématiques.
07:13The storm mills left hundreds of thousands without energy.
07:17Network operator Enedis said up to 900,000 of its customers
07:21didn't have power at the peak of the storm.
07:24By Friday, the network restored service to about half of those affected.
07:29The storm had been unusually strong.
07:31It struck the west of France Wednesday into Thursday
07:34and has since then moved eastwards away from the country.
07:41Certain employees at Samson's battery factory in God
07:45were exposed to severe pollution until 2023
07:49and the authorities had to choose between imposing a small fine
07:53or suspending the factory's operations.
07:56According to an investigative article by Telex,
07:59the decision was taken by the Hungarian government.
08:02We know that we knew about this problem.
08:04We were completely clear.
08:05We were able to find out that we have more sources than Samsung.
08:12We were able to find out that we have more sources than Samsung.
08:12And the question is, how do they do this process?
08:16And if they have been closed, if they have been closed,
08:18if they have been closed, if they have been closed,
08:19if they have been closed, then they can say that this would be a logical answer.
08:23But it looks like that they did not do it.
08:25The urban government strongly backed the establishment of Asian battery factories in Hungary,
08:31prompting significant public resistance over environmental and workplace safety concerns,
08:37concerns the government ultimately dismissed.
08:40For example, the Samson factory was removed from God's local authority
08:44while the town was under opposition leadership.
09:08The Hungarian government did not rebut the article in detail,
09:13but it denied that the cabinet discussed Samson's God plant and said the factory is operating legally.
09:19A kampanykomuval, kampányhazugsággal állunk szemben.
09:24Az állításoknak nincsen alapja,
09:27Szihártó miniszter úr.
09:28Fejelentés tettivetve a Telecz-el szemben pertindított.
09:32A botvány lényege, hogy a Telecz egyértelműen és számon kérhetően állítja,
09:36amit idáig is sokan gondoltak,
09:38hogy a magyar kormánya legfelsőbb szinten avatkozik be
09:41in a certain major situation in the world.
09:43The government of the government's campaign
09:45has been raised by the government,
09:46and the government has been raised by the government.

10:11with the movie stars arrived, German rapper Soho Bani gave a surprise performance on the red carpet.
10:17Top stars such as Neil Patrick Harris and Bella Ramsey were in attendance,
10:22as well as Oscar-winning Michelle Yeoh, who received the 2026 honorary Golden Bear for
10:29Lifetime Achievement. Germany's film industry is strongly represented this year. Among them
10:35is Lars Eidinger.
10:41Last time someone said, did you go to this Chanel dinner? And then you said, no, why should
10:48I go there?
10:48Matthias Schweigoffer, meanwhile, is more thrilled by the off-screen moments.
10:54I'm just happy to meet everyone again, that everyone comes together, it's just nice.
10:57In addition to the big names in acting, several politicians also made an appearance at the
11:03opening gala and political messages were present, including expressions of support for the people
11:09of Iran and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the competition remains at the heart of the festival. The offerings
11:16range from dramatic thrillers to comedies.
11:19The 76. Berlinale is officially open. Bis zum 22. Februar verwandelt sich die deutsche

11:36der Goldene Bär verliehen. Es bleibt also weiterhin spannend, sowohl in den Kinosälen als auch
