Since only parties loyal to Vladimir Putin are running, the elections are seen as nothing but a veneer of democracy.

More than 610,000 people have passed through detention centres run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the federal immigration agency in under two years. The pace only continues to accelerate: in August 2026, nearly 51,000 arrests were made in a single month – a record for Trump’s second term. Who are the people being held in these centres? What are their living conditions like? And how is Trump’s mass deportation policy upending the lives of families settled in the United States? In this report, Valérie Defert and Pierrick Leurent investigate the issue in Texas – the heart of the new US immigration detention system. cf0933dc-b2b2-11f1-b5fe-cfee4b0c2fc9Fri, 18 Sep 2026 08:26:18 GMTPierrick LEURENTSportshttps://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/sports/20260918-europa-league-marseille-suffer-heavy-defeat-at-besiktas?GJlXzGgqHj Marseille suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at Besiktas in Turkey in their opening Europa League match.

As we embark on AI's uncharted waters, Maiberg has made a most unexpected discovery: the mass acquisition, dismemberment and scanning of rare books for use as training data. His investigation reveals a globalised and deliberately opaque supply chain in which books purchased through anonymous marketplaces arrive at large-scale scanning facilities, where their bindings are removed so that pages can be processed at great speed. 45bde72e-b2dc-11f1-b533-919cf0e29779Thu, 17 Sep 2026 21:10:55 GMTFrançois PICARDBusinesshttps://www.france24.com/en/french-fishermen-to-end-blockades-over-fuel-prices?GJlXzGgqHj French fishermen have agreed to lift their blockades at fuel depots and ports, including Nice, after talks with the government over financial aid. They say soaring fuel prices since the start of the war with Iran are pushing them to the brink. Also in the segment: India could be hit by fresh US tariffs if it keeps buying Russian oil. US lawmakers approved a new sanctions package that ratchets up the economic pressure on Moscow and its trading partners.   f44a23e4-b2d6-11f1-ad61-07d2e1dc9a13Thu, 17 Sep 2026 20:43:00 GMTKate MOODYEye on Africahttps://www.france24.com/en/serial-killer-suspicions-in-south-africa?GJlXzGgqHj In tonight's edition: the body of a ninth woman is found in Johannesburg as South African police start investigating a potential femicidal serial killer. Also, Africans are excited about what good use of the technology could mean to growth, but many are also worried about what an AI free-for-all could mean for their lives and livelihoods.

In her Wednesday state of the Union speech, the European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen went big on manning the borders, suggesting new tools to better deal with migration. This comes against in a context of Ceuta where over two days in July, tens of thousands of mostly Moroccans overran Spain’s North African enclave. 0865d082-b2c1-11f1-ad69-6b9ab73b99dcThu, 17 Sep 2026 18:16:31 GMTFrançois PICARDPerspectivehttps://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/perspective/20260917-sanctions-won-t-prevent-us-from-doing-our-job-says-icc-prosecutor-mame-mandiaye-niang?GJlXzGgqHj In this edition of Perspective, the acting Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court tells FRANCE 24 that the court is needed now more than ever to ensure there is no gap for impunity. Mame Mandiaye Niang says the court’s job is to step in if domestic justice systems fail. The Senegalese judge is at the centre of a storm amid sanctions put on the court by the US after its issuing of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant over Israel’s actions in Gaza. He explained how the sanctions affect his daily life but says it won’t stop the court doing its job. 42111864-b27b-11f1-8a60-a3ca3ffd93d4Thu, 17 Sep 2026 16:02:51 GMTStuart NORVALarts24https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/arts24/20260917-nicolas-winding-refn-on-nearly-dying-reuniting-with-ryan-gosling-and-why-polarisation-is-success?GJlXzGgqHj Ten years after The Neon Demon, Nicolas Winding Refn is back with 'Her Private Hell', a neon-soaked fever dream starring Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton.

Cashmore argues that contemporary celebrity culture has fundamentally altered the relationship between entertainment and politics. There was a time when public figures retained the option of political neutrality. Whereas, today, even silence or refusal to engage can be interpreted as a political act. e13e3e18-b293-11f1-89fc-5797f0c3f5a6Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:32:41 GMTFrançois PICARDBusinesshttps://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/business/20260917-us-federal-reserve-hikes-interest-rates-for-the-first-time-in-three-years?GJlXzGgqHj The US central bank raised its benchmark rate by .25 percent, with new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh defying President Donald Trump's desire for lower rates.
