0:00Hello and welcome to the Hello French press review! The podcast that immerses you
0:04in the news of the week to allow you to learn French
0:10on the front page for this week, from March 29 to April 4, 2020. Covid-19: The World Bank could
0:18release $160 billion to help the poorest countries.
0:24It's the war of masks on the tarmac of Chinese airports.
0:27A factory there will soon start manufacturing respirators.
0:32The 2020 International Climate Conference COP 26, postponed to 2021.
0:39Two dead in a terrorist knife attack in South-East France.
0:44160 billion dollars to help the poorest countries. This is the amount that the World Bank is
0:50ready to give over the next fifteen months. The objective is to fight against the
0:56coronavirus epidemic and to prepare for the looming economic crisis. In a first phase,
1:031.9 billion dollars could be distributed among 25 countries.
1:09India alone is expected to receive a billion dollars. Among the first countries assisted,
1:15we also find Pakistan, which is to receive 200 million dollars,
1:20and Afghanistan, which will receive 100 million.
1:23Very poor countries, with therefore more vulnerable populations.
1:27In this context of crisis, the World Bank is also helping
1:31the most disadvantaged countries to access essential medical supplies.
1:36Currently, the World Bank carries out health aid operations in 65 countries.
1:43Facing the Covid-19 epidemic, anything goes .
1:48It is indeed a real war which is being held on the tarmac of Chinese airports.
1:53This week, the Americans have outbid to buy masks at the base ordered by France.
1:59To obtain these precious masks, they are willing to pay 3 to 4 times the price initially expected.
2:05All in cash. These masks therefore ended up flying to America and not to Europe.
2:12Practices denounced by the leaders of regions in France which are faced with a real obstacle course.
2:19Rather than going by air, some have therefore decided to call
2:24on shipping companies in order to limit the risk of theft. Tesla boss Elon Musk
2:33announced this week that it will reopen one of its factories
2:36to manufacture respirators in Buffalo, New York. He tweeted that Tesla would do
2:44whatever is necessary to help in these difficult times. To be able to manufacture its
2:50respirators, Tesla works in collaboration
2:53with Medtronic, a company specializing in medical equipment. Other auto manufacturers
3:00have also come forward this week to offer help. This is the case with Jaguar, Toyota and even Ford.
3:08The Italian manufacturer Fiat and the Czech Skoda, for their part, have started producing masks.
3:15A Renault plant in France has also transformed its activity.
3:19Workers now make protective visors for caregivers. COP 26, an international climate conference
3:29, was due to take place in November in Glasgow, Scotland.
3:34The British government has announced its postponement to 2021, without specifying a date.
3:39In question, as for the cancellation or the postponement of most of the major
3:43events of the year, the Covid-19 crisis. The decision was taken by the UN
3:50in consultation with the British authorities.
3:53On the other hand, no postponement foreseen on the objectives set for
3:57ecological transition for the European Union. Knife attack in the South-East of France.
4:05A refugee from Sudan killed two people on Saturday. Witnesses reported to investigators
4:12that the man had felt very bad for the past few days because of the confinement.
4:17Two other people were also injured in the attack. The latter took place
4:22in the streets and in shops in the town center of Romans-sur-Isère.
4:26Until now, the assailant was not known to the police. He says he does not remember the event.
4:33A psychiatric expertise is planned. Thanks for listening to this podcast. Hope you liked it.
4:39I will now explain the key words, the important words of the week. We used the word, the goal.
4:47So a goal is a goal to be achieved. It's a target to hit. We talked about fighting
4:56the coronavirus when you are fighting something.
5:00It means that we oppose this thing, that we try to defeat it. We talked about the Covid-19
5:10epidemic, an epidemic, it's a disease that spreads, that spreads.
5:17We talked about the poorest countries.
5:20The adjective poor means that he is not rich, who does not have a lot of money.
5:27We also said that these countries are vulnerable when someone or a country is vulnerable.
5:34It means that he is quite fragile, that they can easily be hurt by a situation or by someone.
5:42We decided that these countries were disadvantaged when, again,
5:47a country where someone is disadvantaged, it means that he is not rich.
5:51He doesn't have a lot of money, he's not going to have a lot of resources to live on.
5:59In the news, about the theft of masks from Chinese airports, we have said that no hits are allowed.
6:07The expression all hits are allowed. It means that in a given situation, we can do anything.
6:13There is no more justice. People do what they want. We also talked about masks,
6:21a mask is something that we will put on his face. So it can be either to dress up,
6:25for example for Carnival or to hide. And in this case, it's more to protect yourself.
6:33So we are going to put on masks so as not to
6:35catch a disease or not to give this disease to other people.
6:40We talked about the tarmac at Chinese airports. The tarmac is the floor of the airport.
6:46More exactly, it is the place where the planes will land. We said he bought these masks
6:54in cash when you pay in cash, when you buy something in cash,
7:00that means you buy it in cash with cash. We talked about a practice,
7:09a practice, it is the fact of doing something. It is the way to do something.
7:16We have said that ordering masks is like an obstacle course.
7:21This means that it is very complicated, very difficult.
7:28We are going to talk about limiting the risks when we limit the risks,
7:32is that we want to prevent something bad from happening,
7:35something that could hurt people or prevent a success. A success.
7:42We talked about theft, when we steal something,
7:46we take something from someone who, at the base, does not belong to us.
7:54We talked about a Tesla factory that would reopen when something reopens,
8:02it had been closed and it will open again. We have talked about respirators,
8:10a device that helps people who have difficulty breathing. So we usually find that in hospitals.
8:16So, it is a device that allows patients to breathe artificially.
8:23We are going to talk about the industrialist, an industrialist is the owner of a factory.
8:29It is, for example, a brand that also has factories. We talked about a visor.
8:36A visor on the front of a cap. This is the part that protects the eyes. We talked about caregivers,
8:47a caregiver is someone who treats us,
8:50who is part of the medical staff, for example a nurse or a doctor.
8:57We are going to talk about the cancellation of events. So when an event is canceled,
9:03there is a cancellation, it means that it is deleted. It will not take place.
9:08For example, to say my train was canceled again this morning. I keep having cancellations lately.
9:16We also talked about a postponement. A postponement is an event is not canceled, but is postponed.
9:24It will be organized another time. In the news on the
9:33terrorist attack, we talked about a knife, a knife, it is a tool that cuts
9:38when we use for example to eat with a fork. But it can also be used as a weapon to hurt people.
9:47It's a bladed weapon. It is called. We used the word refugee,
9:55no refugee, it is someone who had to leave his country
9:58because his life was in danger because of his ideas, his ethnicity, for example. So he took refuge.
10:06So he lives in another country. We used the verb to kill when we kill someone,
10:14it means that we are killing that person, we are causing them to lose their life.
10:20We talked about investigators, investigators.
10:23They are police officers who are working on an investigation,
10:27so they will seek the truth about a situation or an event. Finally, we used the word assailant,
10:35an assailant is a person who attacks, he is an aggressor.
