France 24’s weekly images span diplomacy, faith and public life
The photo review brought together scenes from a White House military demonstration, Pope Leo XIV’s visit to France, flooding in Bangkok and events across sport and protest.
France 24’s review of the week in pictures, published on 27 September, assembled scenes from political, religious, sporting and public events across several countries.
One image showed US President Donald Trump, First Lady Melania Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping watching a military demonstration from a White House balcony on 24 September. France 24’s caption described the scene; it offered no further detail about the leaders’ meeting.
The selection also included Pope Leo XIV leading a prayer at Lourdes on 26 September, during his visit to France, and a person wading through a flooded street in Bangkok after heavy rain that day.
Sport and weather featured in images of the Berlin Marathon on 27 September and a nor’easter affecting the US northeast coast. Another photograph showed Zinédine Zidane at a French national football team training session.
France 24 also featured Mahmoud Abbas addressing the UN General Assembly by prerecorded video, and a Madrid housing protest following the eviction of an 87-year-old woman. The curated selection documents moments from the week rather than providing a comprehensive account of their events or outcomes.
