A star of LCI in turmoil, De Gaulle relives on France 2, the cinema punctuates the confinement and support for France from Germany

The scandal which shakes the RTS, the Swiss radio and television, and which impacts LCI.

If you are a faithful of the 20 Hours of LCI, you will not see Darius Rochebin on the air tonight.

In his place, the head of the political service of the TF1 group, Adrien Gindre, will be in charge of the show all week.

A decision that was taken this Sunday, after an extremely complicated weekend.

It all started on Saturday morning when the Swiss daily "Le Temps" published a long report that had the effect of a bomb.

He pinpoints a culture of impunity for at least three high-ranking personalities of the RTS who would have engaged in inappropriate remarks and gestures.

According to "Le Temps", despite numerous alerts, the RTS has never sanctioned these three people.

Among them, two remained anonymous.

The third is Darius Rochebin.

Darius Rochebin is the new star of LCI, he was recruited this summer and took his first steps on the air at the start of the 20 Hours of the TF1 group's news channel.

He has worked in Switzerland for more than 20 years, his reliability and professionalism are recognized by all.

But according to the article in "Time", behind the scenes, he would have made salacious words and would have had inappropriate gestures.

Above all, he would have created false profiles on social networks in an attempt to develop relationships with young students or journalists.

How did the Swiss react?

This weekend, the head of RTS, Pascal Crittin, spoke in an interview with Swiss radio.

He admits to having fallen from his chair while reading the article, although he admits that there have been rumors about the journalist for a long time.

On the other hand, Pascal Crittin confirms that he had indeed been made aware of the astonishing practices of Darius Rochebin on social networks.

Darius Rochebin will not be on the air on LCI this evening.

No, a few hours after the article appeared, the journalist indicated that he had asked the news channel to take a few days off to be with his family.

He “absolutely disputes” the allegations of the “Temp” article and points out that it “has never been the subject of a complaint”.

For its part, LCI issued a short press release to take note of the article and confirm the leave taken by its journalist, stressing that no act of this type had been reported to him since the arrival of Darius Rochebin in LCI.

We obviously tried to find out more, but neither LCI, nor "Le Temps", nor RTS wanted to add anything to their respective speeches.

De Gaulle, new prime time hero on France 2.

This Monday at 9:05 pm, the public channel will kick off the mini-series "De Gaulle, brilliance and secrecy".

She will offer the first three episodes tonight, and the last three next Monday.

On the program, a dive into the life of the general, of the Resistance to the exercise of power and the Fifth Republic.

It is Samuel Labarthe, one of the stars of the "Small Murders of Agatha Christie", who was chosen to play Charles de Gaulle.

A role that cannot be refused but which is demanding, as he explained to Louise Bernard.

As the title of the series indicates, "The brilliance and the secret", one will not rediscover only History there with a capital H. One will also discover the private life of De Gaulle, and in particular its relation with his wife.

A point of view that is not unlike that of a famous British series, as Samuel Labarthe explained to Louise Bernard.

Cinema to escape confinement.

The chains had already bet on the Seventh Art during the first confinement, and they are turning to him again.

Already, when the curfew was announced a fortnight ago, France Télévisions had changed its schedule to offer at least one film every night on one of its channels.

Now that all of France is confined again, she is passing the second.

Every Sunday, it opened a new cinema box at 1:30 p.m. on France 3 this Sunday, then France 2 took over with two feature films, for a 100% cinema Sunday afternoon.

It is precisely in this context that Netflix opened its doors this Sunday to Jean-Paul Belmondo.

If the programming of the public service does not thrill you, the streaming platform put online this Sunday part of the catalog of films worn by the actor now 87 years old.

On the program, classics like "L'as des as", "Le Magnifique" or "Le Guignolo".

And if you are not a Netflix subscriber but are a fan of Belmondo, Paris Première will devote an entire evening to it on November 10.

The film "The Professional" will be followed by two documentaries, including a new one, called "Jean-Paul Belmondo, the influencer".

The support of a German facilitator for French products.

A call to boycott French products was launched by Turkish President Erdogan, and then taken up by Qatar and Kuwait.

The leaders of these countries accuse President Macron of having affirmed his support for the publication of the cartoons of Muhammad and of pursuing a policy hostile to Muslims.

The information reached Germany, where it prompted late show host Oliver Welke to speak at the end of last week to call on his viewers to support French products, in order to defeat the call for a boycott. of the Turkish President.
