- Hundreds of French police reinforcements have arrived in New Caledonia amid ongoing riots in the Pacific Ocean territory which have left five people dead.
A state of emergency on the islands has now been triggered as the reinforcements look to "regain control", according to French High Commissioner Louis Le Franc.
The unrest erupted this week after lawmakers in Paris backed and approved changes to voting rolls that the indigenous population say will dilute their political influence.
Hundreds of people have been injured, and officials say around 200 people have been arrested so far.

Not even one valid question asked, as to why they are protesting the new rules
Racist BBC just interviews the wyte man 😂
4 minutes but 10 seconds on why they are protesting.
that's BBC for you , what do you expect
@philiphoactuallyitstartedb3457 true. They are the most unjournalistic clowns about. Everyone knows it
French just can't give up what's not there's. They should piss off back to France there not popular in the pacific.
I had the same question after seeing it
The people in Caldeonia don't want the French to vote in their elections.
Its New Caledonia not New Caldeonia. This video was uploaded 2h ago and they didn't even bother to check if the title is correct.
Seriously!!! Did you think BBC really care!
LOL. Wow. My brain just totally put the letters into their proper place without my even noticing it.
Yes, and that's what your tv licence fee pays for.
Gimps aha
Come on BBC, this is screaming out for context. Tell us why people are rioting. There was mention of it, but far too vague.
The indigenous population were the permitted voters, so they had more political power over their homeland. Population from settlers/colonisers were not allowed to vote. Goverment is changing this, the indigenous population are protesting about loosing their political influence, power.
Nice typo in the title
There's no typo at present.
Damn. You beat me to it xd
@@feelin_fine Yes there is. Its Caledonia not "Caldeonia"
"They are targeting buildings"??? What kind of weapons do they have in their possession?
Crazy that former colonizers like France and Britain still have colonies (territories) in this day and age!
The USA also has Imperial Colonies, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, America Samoa, and way more.
New Caledonia is not a colony.
It's not that crazy. The ones left over are the ones that want to stay. Other ones are sparsely populated, or unpopulated.
@@jaridkeen123 Hawaii isn't a colony. It's a state.
the population seek the safety of the French from communists etc
France never learned from the algerian rebellion. Where's the liberty of kanak people?
They are not Ukrainians or Uighurs! Nato does not need military bases there, so the people there have no 'special status'!
The vast majority of the population is ethnic French.
Or Vietnam and Mexico
@@Whocaresanymore970Illegal Migrants
@@Whocaresanymore970 According to wikipedia population of kanak people are more than 40% and 'europeans' are just 24%. That means french in that european group could be lower.
France has broken their agreement with New Caledonia for their long term plan to independence.
Not at all , please don’t say stupid things if you are not living in New Caledonia 🇫🇷
lets hear it for Caldeonia... BBC at its best
On the other hand, if this were TLDR News, it would be so commonplace that there wouldn't be hundreds of commenters mentioning it in the first hour. (-:
Why on earth is France still controlling this land?

What could possibly go wrong?
Olympic games in France must be Boycotted, just like Olympic games were Boycotted in USSR after the invasion into Afghanistan.
Zelensky is preparing for what could be his last international stand-up comedy to be performed in Switzerland.
3:22 so you have now told everyone that there is a way in!
Posted two days ago and you still haven't corrected the title...
Give them what they want: give them full indepdence from France. But make it clear that they get no foreign aid from France, or Australia, or New Zealand, or anywhere else. Once they're under a corrupt Kanak government that casts them into poverty, just remind them that they wanted their independence.
Australia will have to, or the Chinese will move in. It won't be as much as France pays, though.
This what happens when we don't stand up for our rights !
Although I have a feeling there maybe local cultural issues to overcome I wish them well, as an islander myself, you don't want to be "overrun"
We can assume that Beijing is behind this. Viva le France!

@@landamaika93 you crazy right wingers need to stop drinking whatever Kool Aid it is you are. Seriously, why is everything a conspiracy to the racists
You mean the Pacific Island invaded and colonised by France
One colonizer to another colonizer smh
Now this is a French territory. My friend Janet told me that the French were ruthless putting down a rebellion in the 1980s. (Watch out cocoa Joe?)
Give the indiginous peoples their land back then!
So.... chuck all the foreigners out of Britain?
You are talking about wrecking the entire economy and dispossessing half the population of territory.
That is tantamount to ethnic cleansing!
So uninformed it’s utterly pathetic. Why not do some research on the territory rather than screeching something irrelevant about “Colonialism”
@@charliecatesby3346 Irrelevent to you..
OMG people should stop opening their gobs when they don't know what they're talking about. No one is forcing NC to remain a French territory. They have had multiple referendums and they want to be a French territory. The French people could not give a damn wether they stay or leave.
why are the french there?
Where?
Because it is named after a colony of the English: Caledonia i.e. Scotland.
@@drtg101we7 I'm on about the typo mistake. Hate the inept BBC.
They've had a few referendums that have rejected independence. One in 2018 rejected it by 57%, another in 2020 rejected by 53%, and one in 2021 by 97% but this was only because the independence parties boycotted the vote.
Because it's ours.
What are the new voting rules. Why not do the news.
In order to be able to vote in the local government elections you now are required of having been a permanent resident of the island for a minimum of 10 years. Beforehand you were only able to vote if you were a permanent resident of the island since before 1998.
@@FrancoisTHX This rule mainly affects French citizens who have lived elsewhere. Including the members of the Asiatic community that might want to return.
The only place in France where some french can t vote but pay tax.

BBC you brought your repetition down during my childhood time love to listen BBC
At that time no TV radio Ceylon telecast 3 languages English Tamil & Singhalese
Sometimes not easy to get signals
At 2:40, the good man announces “I’m a Christian.”
How has he made it so easy and natural and refreshing to say so? It’s good that the BBC interviewer didn’t splutter a “You’re a what?” (as if to say, How bold you are!). There must be hope. “I’m a Christian” might catch on like “I’m Spartacus!” It’s time the West faced up to facts about what had made it and makes it great.
Make sure he stays away from the infants
Free new Caledonia
"No ones armed here so we have a white flag trying to persuade them not to come in"
LMAO. The absolute state.
Can't spell Caledonia.
May New Caledonia be given independence
free free Caledonia
they voted 3 times for independence and voted to stay with France 3 times
Ironic, since many people from PNG try to migrate to France.
@@brent6771the third election was boycotted you colonist!
they don't want to be independent. they enjoy French subsidies, unemployment benefits, free healthcare, access to the EU.
It didn't help PNG. Australia is still supporting them financially. Luckily for them they are neighbours to Australia but if the French leave New Caledonia then the French will stop supporting them.
China has done this!
You can tell the French that teasing me with overhyped Rolex watches isn’t going to work.
Bring back The kingdom of Hawaii
"New Caldeonia" lol
Colonisation is never ending
It just evolved
Why is it called Caledonia? The Latin name for Scotland.
France losing their influence in Africa now in the Pacific, funny that they are blaming Azerbaijan looks like a price for interfering in other places
It shall never be well with the French Colonizers, ... Watch and see
The Frech should leave this territory, it's absolutely crazy that these colonies exist in 2024
they voted 3 times for independence and voted to stay with France 3 times

@@brent6771 how do we know there was not extensive voter fraud? After all, as Stalin said it doesn't matter who votes but who counts the votes.
You should stop talking about topics you're ignorant of.

Leave the colonies alone!
Typo!!
Why should France still colonise other countries ? Those people have the wrigh to defend themselves from French colonialism..
Tik Tok has been blocked, there is no further need for alarm!

Hopefully a majority of New Caledonia indigenous population wish to remain french… the rioters are not representing the Island population and 3 referendums wish to remain french. Decolonization would be a disaster as it wouldn’t reflect the democratic choice .

Nope.
They had a referendum in 2018 and 57% voted against.
Karma for the natives white Europeans in Europe they allways protest in mass against illegal immigrants presence in Europe ( anti illegal immigrants with flags and symbols in the streets) so the same thing with the kanaks natives of the new calidonia island they don't want whites Europeans immigrants satlers in there island sample as that remember that karma always exists in this life don't forget it 🤷🏻♂️
Liberty, equility, fraternity is matters, only for whites French people in France not for the rest of immigrants there so take karma now 👱♂️👱♀️
They've just proved they're incapable of that. Referendum years ago also voted against.

they voted three times to stay with France. They were given the opportunity for independence and the people didnt want it
Democracies don’t power to the tyranny of the minority.
they don't want it. educate yourself before making such an asinine comment.
New Caledonia is doing better than the independent islands that are being supported financially by Australia. If France leaves, then Australia will have to support them as well, but it won't be as much as the French pay.
Yes, we have a white flag in front to show we are nor armed and I’m a Christian so we have nothing to worry about. What’s not love about this plan.

Nouvelle-Calédonie sans la France n'est pas viable
La France sans la Nouvelle-Calédonie n'est pas viable non plus
Si le gouvernement persiste dans son erreur le résultat sera la même chose qui s'est passé avec les pays africains francophones d'aujourd'hui
ou la grande majorité de la population n'a pas pu avoir accès au développement et la Français a été dégagé
La Nouvelle-Calédonie n'est pas encore prête pour l'indépendance elle n'est pas capable de se défendre notamment militairement
La France est un pays de caste elle ne doit pas exporter en dehors de la France hexagonale ça coutumes et sa mentalité
La Nouvelle-Calédonie est un pays de tradition et c'est tradition doivent être respecter
Le gouvernement est responsable avec la droite locale radicalisé il tente une colonisation afin de garder la même mise sur le minerai et les réserves de pétrole et de gaz
S'il doit y avoir un avenir politique ça sera entre les kanaks et les caldoches blanc descendants des bannières qui sont des accidentés de l'histoire
Ce ne sont certainement pas c'est français du continent qui vient de l'Hexagone qui doivent donner leur point de vue aujourd'hui en sachant que la plupart viennent pour l'argent et non qu'un amour pour le pécunier au contraire de tous les autres dans la majorité qui aime ce pays par le cœur
Le pays est divisé en deux provinces la province Nord les campagnes n'est pas assez développé
Dans le sud autour de Nouméa les français hexagonaux se concentre dans les banlieues ils vivent entre eux ne se mélange pas il possède le pouvoir économique et militaire
вы- Лягушатники, картавые колонисты-мясники, обязаны освободить все заморские территории, вплоть до Кергелена и Клиппертона. За миллионы убитых африканских рабов и африканцев, за коренных народов Америки. Францию необходимо разделить, дав независимость Бретани, Корсике, баскам, вернуть Эльзас и Лотарингию фрицам. Окситанцам создать свою страну.
