There is an interesting “de” a few lines later,
“la destruction de Lorient”
I could not hear the “de” at regular speed, I thought maybe he blended it with the “n” at the end of “destruction”, but upon analysis there is a definite, separate “de” that he says. Furthermore, it is actually easier to hear the “de” when you loop it at higher speed, like 1.3 x or so which I found quite surprising!-
Cool Sandeep. Please keep letting me know what you hear and don’t hear. It is helpful.

In the beginning, “aboutir, malheureusement, à de graves conséquences”
I think the reporter forgets to say the “à” .-
Maybe he puts the à right after aboutir, so it is “aboutir à, malheureusement, de graves conséquences”. Hard to tell because he does also have a few voice tic “uh…” ‘s in there as well .

Hi Sandeep, I just relistened. malheureusement, à de grave conséquences. I’ll look for time to do a video. I think this is one of those things that you will hear easily in another 6 months from now, but I am not certain. It is very clear to me, but perhaps because I have been listening to French for so long that my brain knows exactly what to listen for.

Hi,
I’ve come back to this recording a few months later. I have definitely improved, the whole things feels slower now as usual. However I still do not hear the “`a” after malheureusement, I just hear “malheureusement de grave consequences”, but of course it does not really hamper my comprehension of what he is saying.-
Hi Sandeep,
Thank you for the comment. Here is a video that may help…
