Agent. One leader is staying silent for now, u. S. President donald trump. The kremlin, meanwhile, repeatedly denying the allegations. Thank you for watching. Live from paris, we start with friends. 14 suspected accomplices of a gunman who attacked charlie and no, a kosher supermarket and a policewoman appeared in court, five years after the onslaughts that rocked france. They were said to be inspired by the islamic state. Is the trial opened on wednesday, the newspaper republished some of his cartoons. All of that for this. For the latest on the second day of the trial, lets bring in our senior reporter. Catherine, great to have you with us. As much as there is debate in the courtroom over whether the trial can proceed under these conditions, we are talking everything frorom technical difffficulties to masks. Reporter absolutely. It was a fairly raucous hearing in court this morning, with lawyers fofor both the plaintif, representing the victims and also the lawyers for the defense , arguing the trial could not continue under current conditions, because there have been numerous problems. People arent actually hearing what is being said in the hearing because the judge ordered everyone to wear facemasks, even when the lawyer is crossexamining and the suspects a are giving evidence. He has come back on that, saying that when people are speaking, they can take off ththeir face x momentarily. But the suspects are in a two boxes. 10 suspects appearing in coururt are behind l layers of bulletprf glass. Despite that, the sound coming from the suspects is being muffled. The case is being filmlmed, the first ever for a terror trial and it is being broadcast in three transmission regions. Repeatedly, we have had lawyers sitting in the transmission of rooms saying they cant hear what is going on. One of the lawyers for the victim said this would give the appeal. Good ground to there has been a lot of debates about whether this can go on ahead. At one point, the video transmission cut off. Sound has cut off repeatedly. Quite a lot of cares in court this morning. Claire and this is happening. Mid very tight security reporter absolutely. Tight. Y is extremely i have covered a lot of trials in france and paris, but i have never seen anything like this. There were two separate security cord runs just before you could building. He then once inside, in order to get into the court rooms or the transmission room, there were metal detectors, bag searches. Your name had to be on on accrededitation list. Ththere is a lot of f fear in te courtrtroom because among those sitttting insidide the courtroom itself are survivovors of the attack k journalists and cartoons from the Charlie Hebdo weekly, which republished their cartoons of the prophet mohammed, which sparked a lot of controversy and was used by the killers. They have been republished to coincide with the opening of the trial, saw a lot o of people wil be extremely scared that another violent attack could take place. There is also a lot of information. On the first day of the trial, the judge read through the facts of the case, including going to the names of the People Killed in the attacks. There was a huge amount of emotion, people actually leaving the courtroom because they said t. Ey were so hur claire thank you so much for that update. The government is unveiling a longawaited stimulus package with the hope of reviving the economy. We cross live to an address the delivered by the countrys Prime Minister, jean castex. Lets take a listen. Concernsblic health above economic concerns. We decided on a general lockdown, which led to Public Health results, that is undeniable. But the lockdown also led to the lockdown of parts of our economy, and also to historic pressure, probably the strongest economic pressure ever seen since 1922. From the very beginning of the crisis, the government of france , led by my predecessor, reacted immediately to protect jobs and to protect companies. An emergency plan with 470 euros in it was already an emergency plan with 470 billion euros was rolled out in days. This enabled us to keep safe our purchasing power. , andved millions of jobs we were able to avoid thousands of Companies Going under. Thanks to these actions, france weather the storm. We are weakened by it. Furthermore, as i am sure you know, the Public Health crisis has not gone away. You know the determination that , and alongside french men and women, we are continuing to fight the crisis with mitigation and prevention measures, and once again, i would like to take this opportunity to remind all of our citizens of these measures and to apply them. Clear, and iis reminded you of this strategy again last week we must learn to live with the virus. By implementing measures that will allow us to do so. This pragmatism is what led us very recently to implement a number of measures to support some sectors of our economy. These are the sectors that still today are heavily affected by the Health Protocols imposed on them. Cinemas, andshows, more generally, culture. These sectors will benefit from strong support from the government as announced last week. Also, live events, tourism and sport have been heavily affected. We are meeting with rep is in it is from these sectors, i believe, on saturday we are meeting with representatives from these sectors on saturday. After the necessary safeguarding, now we can start being proactive. That is our plan. This is a never before seen scope, 100 billion euros, that is four times higher than the plan that was implemented to face the 2008 crisis. Proportionate to the national largestthis plan is the to have been announced to date out of the large european countries. 100 billion. 100 billion is the amount of money that our economy needs. This is the amount of money to, by 2020, get back to our level of wealth for the crisis from before the crisis. This is an ambitious target, but it is fully achievable. We have three means of leverage to achieve our goals. Fort of all, mitigating employees and employers the effects of the crisis, this is part of what we have already been doing in the fight against the recession. This is the anticyclical part of the plan, to get things started again. The second means of leverage, fighting and reducing the impact of the crisis on our territorial and social pact, by implementing things for our local authorities and our citizens who are the most vulnerable. People with no income, young people. These are the most impacted areas. The third means of leverage is to rampart the transformation of our economy. By learning the structural lessons that can be learned from the crisis, and by continuing with the reforming underlying logic of this president ial term. This means heavy transformations towards green energy and technologies, and improving the sovereignty and Economic Performance of france. This should enable us to have a better position on the Growth Drivers for the coming decade and beyond. Creating this activity today whilst preparing for tomorrow. Our absolute priority is employment. Plan, from today, we are supporting employment. Employment for the people who are the most heavily impacted by the crisis the jobless and the young people, with a 4000 euro benefit with support for apprenticeships and longterm training. We are also going to be investing in creating employment for tomorrow. This is the qualification level that will lead to the dynamism and disparity of the entire nation going forward. We are, therefore, heavily andsting in training especially training in the jobs of tomorrow, the green transition, innovative industry and digital, amongst others. Righting our economy will require involvement of everyone. Leverage and apply pull with it the rest of the economy. I am calling on everyones sense of responsibility, from all especially hire, young people. I am calling on special partners and unions to find agreements, especially when it comes to longterm furloughing. This is so that local authorities can invest with the state in a set framework, so that households invest and spend rather than save. This is required for our success. But this is also a way that we can exponentially strengthen our relaunch plan to go well beyond this 100 billion euros. This is why ever since i became Prime Minister, i have been working on promoting dialogue everywhere. Everywhere that it is possible, with the unions, with local authorities, with charities, with associations, and with all professional sectors. This is the hallmark of a modern democracy, an active democracy working against the crisis, and this is how we will guarantee our effectiveness in the implementation of these measures. This plan will lead to the concrete benefits, noticeable benefits for many people. From the lowest income households. We have supported their purchasing power especially with the backtoschool benefit program, and we will help people different 300,000 bespoke training programs, so they can get back to work. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that fighting against financial precariousness is part of a constant fight undertaken by that beyondent, and this plan, you will see the effects of this white in the upcoming budget next year. For all households that we are supporting in the energy transition, the it to renovate orir homes, to change cars, to find less polluting ways of traveling in cities and elsewhere. To this end, we want as Many Companies as possible to benefit from this plan. Tax breaks on production, huge tax breaks on production will be 74 of these tax breaks will be going to these small and mediumsize companies spread across the country. These are what gives structure to our employment. We will be aiding these companies in becoming more digital. We will be making decisions to help support their equity as well. We want to encourage these initiatives and i would like to remind you of the commitment that we and the president of the republic talk. There will be president of the republic took. There will be no tax increase, we will not repeat the mistakes of increasing taxes, as that would weaken our growth and would be sending negative messages to companies and households. Will make said, we sure that our public debt remains sustainable. I would like to remind you here today very clearly, that thanks to the historical agreement obtained by the president of the republic with chancellor merkel, we will benefit from european funding for this plan, that will be 40 billion euros. For all projects around france, all the projects that will be euro will bes, the funding 40 of it. Chosen to anchor nonrepeatingk on funding. We are expecting a quick return on that nonrecurring investment. Ofwe achieve our goals reactivating business, the impact of the relaunch plan on our debt ratio would be almost entirely offset by 2025. The worst option for our public finances would have been to not implement such a relaunch plan. To simply let the economy settle that its lowest speed. 4 points of gdp lost. That is 50 billion in lost income every year, that means 50 billion euros in at third that in extra debt. From an economical and social standpoint, it is vastly preferable to momentarily take on public debt to invest, to give the economy the tools it needs to bounce back, rather than simply burying our noses in austerity and letting collapsess and social proliferate. That is the choice made by the president of the republic and the government. Ministers will now be presenting the finer details of this plan. As you have understood, there are three main drivers to this. First, the green transition. Plan. A green it aims to promote the climate and biodiversity, 30 billion euro will be allocated to these targets. Doubling,re than ladies and gentlemen, more than doubling in the coming two years, investment from the state in the environment. Remembering that these investments were already up before the Public Health crisis. Eurosample, 6. 7 billion for Energy Renovation of houses and buildings. Will ben euros of which in the form of benefits that anyone can access. We will also be investing 7 billion euros by 2030 to turn france into a cuttingedge country on the use of green hydrogen. Secondly, this is a plan to reactivate industry in france. 35 billion euro. Lowering taxes on production, 20 billion over two years. This will him to specifically target small and Mediumsized Companies and to increase competitiveness of our industry. Secondly, moving some strategic care,such as health agricultural food, and industry. Euro,y, for 35 billion these 35 billion euros will be targeted at social concerns around the country. Our is something that citize are expecting us arlind the country, especially those people who felt left by the wayside. I have are dimensioned employment. Longterm partial furloughing. It can be deployed at a never before seen scale, about 5 billion euros. Training for young people, 6. 5 billion euros. That plan is already available. This is never before seen at this scale. Apprentice hiring an apprentice or a parttime worker would never have been a simple or easy or cheap in this country. I would like to call on companies to fully commit to this way of working, and i would like to call on all economic players to get involved in the economic bounceback of this country. Before i wrap up, i would like to invite all of the ministers mainly involved in this project to present the main drivers, starting with our minister for the economic bounceback. Thank you, Prime Minister. , ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, i would like to start with thanks. I would like to thank everyone who, over the last week, even months, have been working on this plan, and jean castex, our Prime Minister. Of course, ministries and departments working for the state, but also our social partners and unions. Also, representatives of our professional sectors, the economists,s, the who have worked a lot on these proposals. We have been able to cast a wide net to bring the french people together. Mentioned,e minister i would like to remind you that from day one of this crisis, from the beginning of march, we have done everything we can for employers and employees, and we continue we will continue in the coming two years to do Everything Possible for those companies and their employees. That is the fundamental meaning of this plan. I would like to share with you one of my firmly held beliefs. We will achieve our goals. France will emerge from this crisis stronger than we were before it, with an economy that is more competitive, that uses less carbon, and shares more of its profits. That is the target of this 2030 plan. As the Prime Minister said, we have three main drivers for this plan. The ecology, with the green renovating of buildings. We want to see this happen as fast as a symbol for public outings such as hospitals, schools, middle schools, high schools, universities. We would also like to see this in the private sector, with the benefit we want to make available to everyone in france and all companies who work in construction. Take thealso like to carbon out of our economy by targeting the companies that produce the most carbon and funding through the state, the rbonation process. We have a plan for trains. We will be turning hydrogen into one of the keys of the strategy so that we can be independent, and selfsufficient in our production of green hydrogen, as other countries such as germany. Competitiveness. I would like to remind you that plan fully fits with the policy that ourselves and the president have been implementing since 2017. It is easy to forget because we have gone to the crisis, but that policy lead to results. Early 2020, thanks to the Economic Policy that provided increased demand and the effectiveness of our companies, we had some of the highest growth in the eurozone. We have managed to draw joblessness back to under 8 in cities, and we were the country with the most attractive, out of all european countries, no exception. That is what leads me to tell the french people that we can do this, simply because we have already done this not that long ago. We have the skills, we have the employees, and we have the companies to achieve our goals. We will be deploying a lot of funds to improve the competitiveness of our companies. We will be strengthening the equity of our small and Mediumsized Companies. They are facing issues of cash stateso we have a loan that has been made available. Claire thank you for being with us here on france 24.
