Between the attack in Brussels, the Israel-Hamas conflict and even the teacher killed in Arras, the news has been chilling since the start of the school year! Terrible events which unsurprisingly shake up the program schedule of the French audiovisual landscape.
As proof, Thursday October 19, 2023, while Stéphane Bern and Leïla Kaddour were to celebrate together the inauguration of the Cité internationale de la langue française by Emmanuel Macron in prime time, France 2 viewers will ultimately not go to discover the Renaissance castle of Villers-Cotterêts.
The reason ? The Head of State postponed this event in order to go this Thursday, October 19, 2023 to the funeral of Dominique Bernard, the literature professor who lost his life during this terrorist attack.

“Given the seriousness of the situation, the political service of France Télévisions is offering a special program to try to take stock of the conflict in order to better understand its ins and outs. Throughout the evening, numerous specialists from the Middle Orient speak on stage to shed light on this geopolitical event which is reshuffling the cards of the dynamics triggered by the Abraham Accords in 2020”in fact informed the channel via a press release.
