anchor: welcome to live from paris. these are the headlines. fighting in sudan, france among those evacuating citizens from the capital. at least 420 people dead since the hostilities began april 15, most of them civilians. for millions of sudanese, no way out. sergey lavrov cheering a you and meeting in new york. moscow's prime minister is under

sanctions for the ukraine war. changes in u.s. news, hard right post tucker carlsen leaving fox news, after a defamation settlement with dominion, who fox accused of skewing election results. this is live from paris. thank you for being with us. sudan is in the grip of deadly violence for a 10th day, at least 420 people have lost their lives so far. most of those are sadly

civilians. france is among those evacuating sudan-based citizens to safety. french nationals, of course. for millions of sudanese, there is no escape. reporter: a sigh of relief for these evacuees as they set foot on spanish tarmac after being airlifted to safety from sudan. the eu foreign policy chief says most eu citizens have left sudanese soil. >> many are already out of sudan. i cannot give you the concrete figures, more than 1000 for sure. reporter: some foreign governments are opting to get citizens to nearby countries. south korean nationals touched in the saudi capital.

not all operations are going smoothly. some 2000 british nationals remain in suit on -- sudan awaiting. >> we advise all british nationals to stay indoors wherever possible. we are asking british nationals to exercise their own judgment about their circumstances, including whether to relocate, but they do so at their own risk. reporter: other foreign governments continue the race to evacuate citizens by road, air and sea. those behind shelter in their homes amid shortages of food and medicine. there are fears that sudan could plunge further into chaos. anchor: sergey lavrov was sanctioned for war crimes but is nonetheless hosting a u.k. -- a you and security summit in new

york. russia is a permanent member of the un security council and currently holds the rotating presidency. the theme is multiculturalism and many are asking how his presence can be justified. meanwhile, the u.n. secretary general says russia's invasion of ukraine is causing massive suffering and devastation. our correspondent sent this. reporter: one diplomat described it as russia trolling the united nations, the irony of the russian foreign minister, of a country that has invaded its neighbor, presiding over counsel designed to prevent wars. russia holds the rotating presidency of the council and seems to be trying to use the opportunity to flip the narrative on the war in ukraine. the secretary general sat next to lavrov and criticized

russia's invasion of ukraine. he warned the risk of conflict between global powers was at a historic high. lavrov in turn said the world was at a threshold that is possibly more dangerous than during the cold war. he tried to blame the west for what he called a loss of trust in multilateralism. the you in secretary -- un secretary-general counter that and slammed russia's attention on americans, calling for the release of a reporter and marine. when i asked lavrov about this, he ignored me and come plummeted the reporter next to me. while this may be farcical, the problem for the united nations is it needs russia to keep the

black sea deal in place. it has proved to be essential for keeping the flow of food to the rest of the world going. that was the main topic of conversation in a meeting after the security council meeting, because russia has threatened to pull out of the deal. anchor: jessica reporting earlier for the united nations, where russia is the rotating president of the security council and sergey lavrov, controversial to say the least, from russia, is chairing the meeting. next, fox news media and operating host tucker carlsen have agreed to part ways. fox news revealed the news this monday, less than a week after it and its parent fox corp. settled a defamation lawsuit from dominion voting systems for $7.7 million. carlsen was said to be a key

witness -- was set to be a key witness in the trial. we have more from washington. reporter: this came as a surprise to the whole media scene in the united states because this was done with a simple statement by fox news, a short statement, a few sentences, saying they were parting ways with tucker carlsen, thanking him for his service, and announcing, the most interesting part of the statement, that his last show was this last friday. that is something that is very different from what we see usually on u.s. tv, which is that when a very popular anchor is pushed out, there is always a last show where they prepare the

viewer for their departure and they get to sign off their show in to say goodbye to the viewers. the fact that was not done for tucker carlsen shows that may be the parting of ways might not have been amicable. so far we haven't heard from tucker carlsen and we don't know exactly why they decided to part ways. as you said, he was an extremely popular anchor on fox news, also in all of cable, he was the top rated anchor for those cable shows, whether it was the more right wing channels or left wing channels. his departure is difficult for fox news because they are losing their top rated shows and they don't have, at least for now, someone to replace him. the big question is whether this is linked to what happened with the dominion settlement. $787 million in settlement.

the dominion settlement does not mention directly tucker carlsen or the fact that they would have asked fox news to get rid of some of the anchors mentioned in the lawsuit, but yes, tucker carlsen heavily present in all of the information that came out in pretrial discovery, and he was one of the key elements that were putting out the defaming comments about dominion, the lies about the 2020 election being stolen and the fact that those machines were partly responsible. that question will likely be the one we are hoping to get an answer to in the coming days or weeks, if we ever do, as to whether that was something fox news, because, as you said, there will be more lawsuits coming up that they felt they needed to part ways, even though tucker carlsen was such a key anchor further channel.

anchor: let's get some broader analysis and ring in our guest -- bring in our guest. thank you for being with us. is this tucker carlson connected with the dominion case? ian: i don't think there's any question that this is the other shoe dropping after the dominion settlement. i think to some degree it became untenable to have tucker carlson on fox after the information came out when you have him talking about how he hated trump passionately, insulting trump in other instances. it's not credible for him to be on the network talking about him in a way that thoughts --fox

news doesn't want. it drives home that fox wants to show what it's viewers want. anchor: is this going to dent trumpism? and is carlson going to show up in another maga mouthpiece? perhaps not. ian: you know that i would like to see trumpism diminished. perhaps as much as you could say fox news would be diminished by this, i think you also look at the reality of the other side, which is that in 20, ella riley was let -- bill o'reilly was let go because of a sexual harassment suit. tucker carlson was washed up and

had bounced around networks. when he went to fox he became a star. i don't see any reason why another fox news show was symbiosis name could not be just as popular -- with somebody else's name cannot be just as popular. the question for me is whoever that new person is, other they will go as far as the network of things is necessary to support any republican, will that person be as extreme on white nationalism and racism as tucker carlson is? we can't know until they come on. if that person talks less about great replacing theory, i would say it is an improvement for american media. anchor: many people wanting this, i would like to say that journalism is about getting things correct and making sure you state and correct the facts. it has been removed from

journalism. there is this populist approach. ian: i think you are right. look what we saw out of the mouths of hannity, ingram and carlson. what they said is we are not respecting the audience if we tell them the truth, we are not respecting the fox audience if we tell them the truth. to respect the fox audience, we have to tell them what they want to hear. that is an inversion of what journalism is supposed to be. journalism is telling the truth, not telling the audience -- finding out what the audience wants and delivering it. i don't know what you would call that, polemics is one way of looking at it, but it is not journalism or delivering the news. anchor: old-school propaganda is probably a way to put it. ian: yes, it's like state propaganda but just for one

party in a two-party system. is not the same on both sides. is there a left-wing media? no. there is a journalistic media whose individuals perhaps lean left. you have on msnbc, you have opinion hosts, but they don't make stuff up. they don't know what is true on the one hand and say the opposite on the other hand. they might come at things shaded from a particular direction but that's very different from what went on at fox as those private tweets and chats reveal. anchor: going back to my date as a junior journalist, the world defamation was something everybody was scared of. do you feel it would be a career wrecker, if you went to court and were pulled over the coals because of a defamatory

statement -- will this end his career? ian: no, it won't end his career. alex jones still has a podcast or whatever it is he does and has plenty of listeners. he can still hawk his strength cream or whatever it is. carlson hasn't been a journalist for a very long time. he has a career as an entertainer, and that career is not blemished in any way, i would think, by a defamation lawsuit. an entertainer can entertain . anchor: an interesting conundrum. ian, thank you for your analysis. i wanted to ask you about don lemon leaving cnn, but we are out of time.

next, far right protesters in madrid tussling with police as the remains of a fascist party founder were to be reburied in a simple grave, another example of spain struggling to reconcile with its authoritarian past. this came six months after spain passed its so-called democratic memory law. reporter: as the remains arrive for repair -- reburial, scuffles broke out between police and dozens of supporters of the fascist party founder. the body of the leader that supported the franco regime was moved. the excavation follows the

removal of the dictator from the site. the plan is to convert it into a memorial for those killed in the spanish civil war. spain's education minister said the big summation was one more step toward restoring the dignity of spain's democracy. honoring franco era victims has been a top priority for the prime minister's left-wing government since it came to power in 2018. franco's remains were relocated following a lengthy legal battle with the dictators family. spain's civil war lasted from 1936 through 1939 and led to decades of dictatorship in the country. anchor: let's turn to business. great to see you. leaders from european nations who look on the north sea and have that coastline have met in belgium, pledging to boost clean energy production by using

offshore wind turbines. carys, tell us more. carys: the goal is to meet climate targets and reduce dependence on russia. seven eu members, plus norway in the united kingdom, say they will speed up the construction of wind farms and develop so-called energy islands, after plans largely stalled last year. the countries currently only produce 30 gigawatts through offshore wind power. the collective goal is 120 gigawatts by 2030, and at least 300 watts by 2050. eu says installing enough offshore wind turbines to reach the 2050 capacity will cost 800 billion euros. the belgian prime minister says he wants the north sea to be the biggest green energy powerplant in the world. >> our goal is to deliver a greener europe, europe which is

energy independent, and a europe that can grow in a sustainable way that can continue creating jobs and keep heavy industry, chemistry and these activities on the european continent. carys: china has accused the u.s. of coercing its allies and of violating international trade rules following a financial times report that the u.s. has asked south korea to urge chipmakers not to fill work at gas and amid concerns beijing could ban a u.s. manufacturer. chinese regulators launched a national security review into the manufacturer earlier this month but it's not clear if there will be punitive action. the white house has not commented on the report but the chinese foreign ministry said washington had forcibly pushed for decoupling. >> this is a typical practice of technological bullying and trade protectionism. this selfish heavier is

unpopular in china opposes it. we call on countries and companies to distinguish right from wrong, to safeguard the trading system and maintain the stability of the global production and supply chain. carys: let's take a look at how the markets fared this monday. on wall street, the major indexes closed mixed with investors in wait and see mode ahead from earnings reports from tech companies and economic data releases. the dow jones gained 2/10 of a percent and the s&p 500 closed flat after hardly budging last week. the nasdaq closed just under one third of a percent down. let's take a look at other business news making headlines. higher-than-expected sales despite price increases aimed at offsetting inflation. revenue rose to $11 billion from january to march, while the american soda brand posted $3.1 billion of net profits.

a french luxury giant has become europe's first company to reach $500 billion in market value after its share price rose and the euro strengthened against the dollar. the parent company of many notable brands has seen share price jump nearly 32% this year. and philips says it has put aside 575 million euros to deal with u.s. class-action lawsuits. they are facing litigation over recalls of products to help people with sleep apnea. the announcement was made as it posted better than expected profits for the first quarter, up almost 50%. employees at hamburg and berlin airports staging a walkout over salary disputes this monday. the industrial action involving

security and ground services staff has forced the cancellation of more than 300 flights. germany has seen a wave of strikes across several sectors recently, including other airports last week. unions are hoping to increase pressure on employees around compensation for special working hours. >> the concrete demands are improvements and bonuses. for example, about nightwork, about overtime, which is a very important issue. if you have to work longer errors -- hours, what bonuses are there? it is about public holidays and sundays. we've been trying to improve these bonuses for several years. carys: europe's strike season still in full swing. anchor: thank you very much. now, truth or fake, that is the question. good evening. no sooner had finland joined

nato than russia was putting missiles on the border, truth or fake? catalina: here is a wrap up of the fake news regarding russia, nato and the war in ukraine, beginning with claims russia deployed missiles to the border with finland days after finland announced it became nato's newest memory on april 4. let's begin with this viral tweet that claims that after finland joined nato, on the border, mobile installations of nuclear weapons were noticed. let's look at the video that goes with this tweet. where that allegedly shows russia's countermeasures to finland joining nato. this video, we can allegedly see russian military convoys carrying nuclear weapons on the border with finland.

anchor: i am coming back to the question -- truth or fake? catalina: there are several elements in the video that allow us to prove the video was not filmed in vyborg, the city bordering finland. contrary to the claims, the first clue is this license plate we see over and over again, we see the number 33. this license plate number belongs to vehicles registered in russian regions, more precisely in a region about 860 kilometers away from the border. here is another geolocation image we found that shows the exact location where the video was filmed. we can see the same building as

in the fake claims, the building with the green windows. contrary to the claims, this video was not taken on the russian border with finland. this video is a fake. anchor: nonetheless, let's acknowledge that cars can drive and buildings look the same. i am accepting your explanation, what just in case people are saying the same things. what is the story behind this? catalina: the missiles we see in the viral claims are russian missiles, this is true. they are called rs24 intercontinental ballistic missiles. what were they doing in the region? there are a couple of hypothesis for you because we could not find a trace of this video before april 6. first of all, here is a theory from reuters, we see the video could belong to russian

exercises with yars intercontinental ballistic missiles at the end of march as reported by reuters. but we don't know where because the information wasn't specified by the russian government, they just mentioned and exercise took place in russian regions. also, we've located russian news articles from march 1 and february 28 that mention these convoys of missiles in the vladimir region in russia, where we see muscles similar to the ones in the fake claim. finally, this type of missile movement in russia is not uncommon according to our journalist in russia, that spotted these two videos from 2020. and this one from one year ago. once again, this missile system passing through the russian region of vladimir.

much of the same images as in the fake claims, but from past years. anchor: mischiefmaking clarified by catalina. thank you for truth or fake. and thank you to carys for the business. stay with us, more to come live from paris. ♪ >> people and profit, your business show that goes beyond the numbers of corporate jargon. understand everything related to major business stories and how the economy affects our lives. people and profit on france 24 and france24.com. ♪ >> france 24, a different way to
