约翰·莱斯特 巴黎 —— 两家法国新闻频道本周末因将阿尔巴尼亚抗议活动的画面误认为是法国的示威活动,纷纷收回报道并道歉。
JOHN LEICESTER PARIS — Two French news channels backpedaled and apologized this weekend after they misidentified images of protests in Albania as demonstrations taking place in France .
CNEWS 频道周六率先出现这一失误,当时一场大规模游行正在巴黎南部和平启动 —— 这是全国近 300 场示威中规模最大的一场,抗议内容涉及教育经费和生活成本飙升,各地示威活动合计吸引了数十万人参加。
CNEWS made the mix-up first on Saturday, as a mass march was getting underway peacefully in southern Paris — the largest of nearly 300 demonstrations nationwide over school funding and soaring living costs that together drew hundreds of thousands of people.
但 CNEWS 播出的画面显示人们聚集在街头抗议,其中一些人鼓掌、一人挥舞红旗,画面标注地点为巴黎的意大利门,实则拍摄于阿尔巴尼亚首都地拉那。周六欧洲多地均有示威活动,地拉那便是其中之一。
But images that CNEWS showed of people gathered in protest on a street, some of them clapping and one waving a red flag, were shot not at Paris’ Porte d’Italie, as labelled by the broadcaster, but in Tirana, the Albanian capital that was among multiple locations in Europe where demonstrations took place on Saturday.
画面中部分人士用滑雪护目镜和口罩遮住面部。CNEWS 一名评论员在画面旁白中称,这些人“表现得像未来的破坏分子,像未来的暴徒”,暗示巴黎示威可能演变成暴力冲突,尽管画面实际来自阿尔巴尼亚。
Some of the people shown had covered their faces with ski goggles and masks. A commentator speaking over the CNEWS broadcast alleged they were “behaving like future vandals, like future rioters,” suggesting that the Paris demonstration could turn violent, even though the images were from Albania.
巴黎示威尾声确实发生冲突,蒙面抗议者向警方投掷物体和烟花,警方回以大量催泪瓦斯、震耳欲聋的闪光弹和高压水炮。其他城镇也出现零星暴力事件。内政部周日表示,警方共逮捕 1314 人。
There were clashes at the end of the Paris demonstration, with masked protesters hurling objects and fireworks at police, who answered with clouds of tear gas, deafening sound grenades and jets of water cannons. There was also scattered violence in other cities and towns. Police made 1,314 arrests, the Interior Ministry said Sunday.
美联社周六也从地拉那及其他抗议地点进行了报道。美联社核实,CNEWS 标注为“意大利门(巴黎)”的画面,实为地拉那市中心的都拉斯街拍摄。
The Associated Press also reported Saturday from Tirana and protests elsewhere. AP verified that images shown on CNEWS, labelled “Porte d’Italie (Paris),” were shot at Rruga e Durrësit, a central Tirana street.
CNEWS 一名主播随后在直播中就该频道网站称为“画面混淆” 的错误道歉。主播奥利维耶·本克穆恩解释称,频道接收了来自多地的视频信号,误将部分画面标错地点。
A CNEWS presenter subsequently apologized on air for what the channel described on its website as “a confusion of images.”The presenter, Olivier Benkemoun, explained that the channel received video feeds from multiple locations and had misidentified some of the images.
“早些时候,你们看到那些遮住脸的人。嗯,那不是在巴黎。我们在导播室犯了个错,”他说。
“Earlier, you saw the guys who were covering their faces. Well, that wasn’t in Paris. We made a mistake in the control room,” he said.
“所以,我真的想道歉,也代表新闻部道歉,因为那些遮住脸的人的画面来自阿尔巴尼亚,”他补充道。批评人士猛烈抨击这家保守派新闻频道的失误。
“So, really, I want to apologize, also on behalf of the newsroom, because the images of guys covering their faces came from Albania,” he added. Critics of the conservative news channel savaged the mistake.
“用阿尔巴尼亚的画面冒充意大利门的现场直播!可悲,”极左翼总统候选人让-吕克·梅朗雄在公共广播机构 franceinfo 周六也把阿尔巴尼亚和法国搞混了。
“Footage from Albania to make it look like a live broadcast from Porte d’Italie! Pathetic,” said far-left presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon , in a post on Public broadcaster franceinfo also confused Albania with France on Saturday.
它播放了身穿防暴装备的警官沿街推进、在两辆水炮车后掩护的画面。
It broadcast images of officers in riot gear advancing down a street, taking cover behind two trucks firing water cannons.
美联社核实地点为阿尔巴尼亚首都地拉那市中心的“民族烈士大道”。但 franceinfo 的电视服务称画面正在从里昂现场直播,一位主持人说,这座法国东南部城市的局势看起来“有点紧张”。三分钟后,主持人纠正了错误。
AP verified the location as Bulevardi Dëshmorët e Kombit in central Tirana. But franceinfo’s television service said the images were coming live from Lyon, with a presenter saying that the situation in the city in southeastern France looked “a bit tense.”Three minutes later, the presenter corrected the mistake.
“这是我们这边的失误。这些不是来自里昂的现场画面,而是来自地拉那的现场画面,”他说。“我们向大家道歉。”
“It followed an error on our part. These weren’t live images from Lyon but were live images from Tirana,” he said. “I present our excuses.”
