00:11 Thank you for choosing Median TV for your reporters. Here are the headlines of your newspaper.
00:16 Morocco congratulated by a large part of the international community after the compromise found by the two Libyan-Bosnian parliaments on electoral laws. We speak about it in Zonest.
00:27 The Royal Moroccan Football Federation and the Moroccan National Tourism Office rely on the exploit of the Lions of Atlas at the Qatar World Cup to better sell the destination Morocco.
00:41 The United States offers Canada's aid hit by devastating and historic forest fires. Quebec is hard hit with impatience by international reinforcements.
00:57 [Music]
01:05 But before developing these headlines, let's first take the direction of Casablanca, more precisely in Tete-Mélile, where a textile factory is partially collapsed.
01:15 It happened in the early hours of the morning. Provisional report, two dead and five injured. Research continues to find survivors.
01:30 The United Nations welcomes Morocco's diplomatic efforts that have allowed the Libyan 6+6 mixed commission to find a compromise on the laws that must govern the general elections scheduled this year in Libya.
01:46 The Netherlands and Switzerland also congratulated Morocco's very positive commitment to peace in this country.
01:53 The Bahrain also thanked Morocco for facilitating and this step more realized for an exit of crisis in Libya.
02:01 Even its two bells on the Bahrain side that also applauded Morocco's diplomatic efforts in this regard.
02:09 Morocco is therefore congratulated by a large part of the international community after this compromise found by the two rival parliaments in Bosnia.
02:21 The commission met two weeks ago in this Moroccan city, which has become a land of dialogue and consensus.
02:28 The closing ceremony of these talks was presided over by the head of Moroccan diplomacy, Nasser Bouhita.
02:34 The final agreement on these laws will be debated in the coming days.
02:39 Soeid Jalil returns on the strong times of the meeting.
02:42 Thanks to Moroccan mediation, Libya is gradually coming out of the water.
02:49 At the beginning of the week, the leaders of Libya agreed on the laws that will govern the presidential elections.
02:55 A big exit after long discussions.
02:58 The final agreement on these laws will be debated in the coming days.
03:12 We are now at an important stage of the inter-Libyan dialogue, because the discussions have allowed us to agree on some crucial points
03:22 regarding the organization of the presidential and legislative elections.
03:27 I said that we are living an important stage today, because the two main bodies concerned by the preparation of the electoral laws in Libya
03:36 have agreed via the 6+6 mixed commission on the crisis settlement process, in accordance with the Sgheirat agreement signed in 2015.
03:46 The members of the commission have therefore reached an agreement on all points of divergence relating to the electoral law,
04:01 which will allow the presidential and legislative elections to be held free, the first in the history of the country.
04:07 The members of the commission have reached an agreement on all points of divergence relating to the electoral law.
04:19 Two laws have been elaborated.
04:21 The first concerns the election of the parliament, that is, the House of Representatives and the Senate,
04:27 while the second text concerns the election of the head of state.
04:31 These laws do not prohibit anyone from participating in the electoral process and do not provide for exclusion,
04:38 as well as offering the political parties the opportunity to play a fundamental role in the electoral process.
04:45 The two laws also support a massive participation of women in the House of Representatives and the Senate
04:54 and expand the regional representation of the country.
04:57 The members of the mixed commission have not failed to salute the efforts of the Kingdom of Morocco
05:01 in order to find a definitive solution to the Libyan crisis,
05:05 in order to guarantee unity, stability and progress in Libya.
05:10 The exploit of the Lions of Atlas at the Qatar World Cup was a good publicity for Morocco.
05:18 We must take advantage of this. The Moroccan Royal Football Federation and the National Tourism Office
05:25 have understood this well.
05:27 They have decided to seal a partnership of seven years to better sell the Moroccan destination via football.
05:36 The goal is also to promote sports tourism in the Kingdom.
05:41 We will learn more about this partnership together with Adel El Fekir, Director General of the National Tourism Office.
05:48 Under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco has become a real land of sport, a real land of football.
05:55 Today we sign a historic agreement between the Moroccan National Tourism Office and the Moroccan Royal Football Federation
06:02 to make football a real lever of tourist promotion for the Moroccan destination,
06:06 both at the domestic and national level, but also on the major international markets.
06:11 This agreement consolidates and maintains the momentum generated by the Lions of Atlas
06:18 during the incredible performance of the Qatar 2022.
06:22 I remind you that between that moment and today, we have more than 130 million interactions on social networks
06:28 around the Moroccan destination and football.
06:30 This is an extremely important capital. Today our role in this partnership is to consolidate and perpetuate this momentum
06:39 and make it a real lever for the promotion of Morocco.
06:42 This partnership is signed from 2023 to 2030.
06:46 It is part of the dynamic of the World Cup, the Maroc-Espagne-Portugal, which was announced by His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
06:56 The economic cooperation between Morocco and Spain is more than ever a good fix.
07:00 For Madrid, this cooperation is called to know a new dynamic.
07:04 It was also at the heart of the business and investment meeting that brought together several business leaders from the two kingdoms in Casablanca.
07:12 The Secretary of State for Trade in Spain took part in it.
07:16 For Oceana Mendez, Morocco is a privileged destination for Spanish investors in Africa
07:21 and occupies a place of choice in the strategies for the internationalization of Spanish companies.
07:27 The American magazine Newslook focused on the evolution and the different approaches used by Algeria to support terrorism in the Sahel,
07:39 hostage removal, financial support for the creation of terrorist branches,
07:43 and many strategies that promote insecurity in this black-based region.
07:50 This is how Algeria sponsors terrorism in Mali.
07:55 It is the title of the magazine's edition, Newslook, which reveals the role of Algeria
08:00 in several terrorist organizations in the north, at its border with Mali.
08:04 Through the profile of two terrorist leaders, Ammari Seifi and Riyadah Ghali,
08:09 it is demonstrated how Algeria is involved in various terrorist organizations that are in the Sahel region,
08:16 by providing funding and protection to their leaders.
08:20 The year 2003, marked by the removal of 32 foreign tourists in the Algerian desert by the terrorist leader Ammari Seifi,
08:27 is an example of the system of ransom payment against the release of hostages
08:31 put in place by the one who is nicknamed Abdul Reza Khalbara.
08:36 After being handed over by the Movement for Democracy and Justice in Chad and Libya,
08:40 Ammari Seifi escaped several of these convictions.
08:44 Switzerland has demanded that this case be inspected in more detail,
08:47 a request to which Algeria has not responded.
08:51 Ammari Seifi would be responsible for dozens of kidnappings
08:54 and would currently live in Algeria under the protection of the army.
08:57 Newslook specifies that Ammari Seifi was between 1990 and 1993
09:03 the head of the personal guard of the former Algerian defense minister, General Khaled Nezar.
09:09 The other character revealed is Ayad Aghrali.
09:12 A terrorist with multiple caps, Ayad Aghrali was born in Timzawatin,
09:16 a small Algerian town on the border with Mali.
09:19 Diplomat, rebel leader, separatist or even a mediator in the hostages' capture,
09:23 he is the leader of the terrorist movement Ansar al-Din.
09:26 He is the leader of the terrorist movement Ansar al-Din,
09:29 a movement that benefits from the financial and military support of Algeria,
09:32 as mentioned by the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar,
09:35 which highlights the premeditation of the Algerian intelligence services.
09:38 Algeria and Mali share nearly 1,300 km of common border
09:42 and Algeria considers the region of Al-Azawad as a security threat
09:46 with the emergence of secessionist organizations among the Algerian Tuaregs,
09:51 which leads to fuel the armed conflict in the region.
09:55 The groups affiliated with Al-Qaeda are active in many countries,
09:58 in northern Mali, Libya, Tunisia, Niger, Nigeria, Mauritania or Burkina Faso.
10:05 These are terrorist branches that benefit from logistical support in the south of Algeria.
10:09 Since 2012, the Al-Qaeda organization in the Islamic Maghreb has several branches,
10:14 including the Emirate of the Sahara region, Ansar al-Din,
10:18 the Liberation Front of Masinah or the Ansar al-Islam group in Burkina Faso
10:23 and a union organization called Al-Morabitoun,
10:26 which included the Batai'a in the Moulay Tahoumoun region
10:29 and the Jamaat Tawheed wa Jihad in West Africa,
10:32 which is a witness to the struggle for the position of the Emirate of the Union
10:36 between Murtar Belmurtar and Abu Adnan al-Sahrawi,
10:39 terrorists affiliated with the armed group of the police.
10:43 The United States and Saudi Arabia have yesterday declared
10:48 that Western countries have repatriated foreign terrorists and their families
10:52 held in Syria and Iraq.
10:55 It was during a meeting of the coalition against Daesh in Riyadh,
10:59 a meeting to which the head of American diplomacy took part.
11:02 Anthony Blinken also participated in another meeting,
11:05 this time that of the Foreign Minister of the member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
11:11 The President of the United States offered his assistance to the Canadian Prime Minister
11:18 during a telephone call on the subject of forest fires, devastating and historic,
11:23 which hit Canada.
11:25 Quebec, severely hit by these fires, is waiting with impatience for international reinforcements,
11:31 while the smoke of the few 400 Canadian embers
11:34 touches the United States, where 100 million Americans breathe a bad air.
11:40 Russia has today accused Ukraine, in front of the International Court of Justice,
11:46 of having destroyed the dam of Kavka with the help of massive artillery strikes,
11:52 thus rejecting the statements of Kiev, according to which Moscow is responsible for this attack.
11:58 The destruction of the Kavka dam, according to Ukraine,
12:01 flooded more than 600 square kilometers in the Kherson region,
12:05 where President Volodymyr Zelensky surrendered,
12:08 the Russian occupation announcing the death of five civilians drowned in the area under his control.
12:14 Second and last day of Casablanca Smart City.
12:19 The event is in its 7th edition.
12:22 How to put artificial intelligence in the service of connected and sustainable cities?
12:26 The question occupies a large part of the discussions under El Jalil.
12:30 Opening claps of the 7th edition of the Casablanca Smart City event.
12:35 Several personalities and city decision-makers took part in this inaugural session
12:39 with a clear perspective, to assess the measures already adopted
12:43 and to put in place others in order to guarantee a sustainable efficiency of this ambitious site.
12:48 The theme for this year is "Smart City, towards sustainable metropolitan transitions".
12:54 The Council has reserved an entire axis of its territorial development program
13:00 to the concept of Smart City and artificial intelligence,
13:04 given the great interest that the Council of the Casablanca State region gives to this plan of action.
13:09 Casablanca Smart City presents an avant-garde urban management model
13:16 that stands out for its frugality, its solidarity aspect and its commitment to sustainability.
13:21 Its objective is to meet a wide range of citizen needs,
13:25 encompassing areas such as mobility, security, education or urban development.
13:31 We present here the first 100% assembled drone in Morocco,
13:43 with entirely Moroccan software.
13:46 This tool is a great help for urban planning,
13:48 in the sense that it allows to probe all the characteristics of a given area,
13:52 driven by a cutting-edge technology that allows it to have a range of 2.5 hours,
13:57 a speed that exceeds 100 km/h and a precision of 1 cm.
14:08 Each year, Casablanca Smart City offers a space for exchange of participants,
14:13 as well as a panel of eminent speakers,
14:15 composed of city actors and renowned experts to address the current issues.
14:19 For this 7th edition, subjects closely related to the intelligent system will be discussed,
14:24 including intelligent governance systems, social and community systems,
14:28 artificial intelligence, infrastructure systems, intelligent service systems,
14:33 as well as ecology, the environment and sustainable development.
14:38 Let's stay in Morocco, but this time we are going to the south of the kingdom,
14:41 where the 11th edition of the Darla International Film Festival is being held.
14:45 This edition is marked by the presence of several artists,
14:48 producers, film directors, critics and writers from Morocco,
14:52 but also from other countries.
14:54 Happy New Year!
14:55 A round of applause for the 11th edition of the Darla International Film Festival.
15:00 Several filmmakers, directors, actors and producers
15:03 met and shared their experiences and feelings.
15:07 This festival aims to bring cinema closer to the inhabitants of the city of Darla
15:11 through the projection of a series of Moroccan, Arab and African films.
15:16 This festival lasted 5 days and we have seen a massive participation from Morocco,
15:24 of course, and other Arab and African countries.
15:26 Several young and passionate about cinema took part in this event too,
15:29 who not only offered films, but also workshops and conferences
15:33 around the film world.
15:36 The film "Tembel" by the Ugandan director Maurice Mugisha
15:44 won the Grand Prix of Darla in the feature category.
15:48 The jury award for this festival, initiated by the Association for Cultural and Artistic Animation
15:53 in the Southern Provinces, came back to the feature film "Sahari Slemousa"
15:58 by the Moroccan director Moulay Tayeb Bouhanana.
16:02 I am very happy to have won the jury award in this fabulous city.
16:09 I have been working hard on my film for 6 years,
16:12 which was the merit of charming the judges.
16:15 This award is a recognition of the monstrous efforts of the entire film crew.
16:19 The award for the best female performance
16:24 was awarded to the actresses of the film "Mayouya"
16:27 by the Congolese director Claudia Yoka.
16:30 As for the best scenario, it was awarded to the film "Moroccan Story"
16:34 by its director Mohamed Bouhairi.
16:37 Note that this great cinematographic mass celebrated African cinema
16:41 through the presence of filmmakers from some 16 African countries.
16:46 We are Thursday, right away, place to the health chronicle,
16:51 always with Yasmine El Kaouni. Hello Yasmine.
16:54 Hello Pap, how are you?
16:55 How are you?
16:56 Good. So today we are going to talk about prevention.
16:58 That's why we are going to focus today on glaucoma,
17:01 because it is a silent disease,
17:03 which unfortunately appears only at a late stage.
17:06 So that's why it's important to know the risk factors.
17:09 And possibly, maybe, we will see if there are any signs.
17:12 And all this, we see with Dr. Habibat Sezi.
17:14 She is with us, she is an ophthalmologist. Hello doctor.
17:17 Hello Yasmin, hello Pap. Thank you for the invitation.
17:20 Thank you very much for being here.
17:21 It's a real pleasure for me to be among you today.
17:23 So if we had to define glaucoma, what exactly is it?
17:27 So the definition of glaucoma is quite complex.
17:30 Glaucoma is defined as an irreversible loss of the optic nerve.
17:34 The optic nerve is the nerve that transmits light,
17:37 and therefore the image of the eye to the brain.
17:40 Glaucoma is generally due to an increase in intraocular pressure,
17:44 which can unfortunately lead to irreversible blindness.
17:48 To simplify this pathology for our viewers,
17:51 we should imagine that inside the eye there is a liquid,
17:54 which is called the "accused mood".
17:56 This liquid is continuously produced inside the eye,
17:59 but it is also continuously eliminated by a filter.
18:02 In a healthy eye, there is a balance between the production and the elimination of this liquid.
18:07 In a glaucomatic eye, there is an imbalance.
18:10 The liquid is trapped inside the eye, its volume increases,
18:14 and therefore the intraocular pressure increases,
18:16 and this increases and exerts a compression,
18:20 or pressure on the optic nerve at the back of the eye,
18:23 which will cause these nerve fibers to disappear little by little.
18:26 So a small question, it has nothing to do with arterial hypertension,
18:30 because we are talking about ocular tension.
18:33 Does a person who has arterial hypertension necessarily have glaucoma?
18:38 So these are two distinct pathologies,
18:40 but arterial hypertension, like all other risk factors,
18:44 cardiovascular risk, are part of the risk factors of glaucoma.
18:47 It is a risk factor, so it is not automatic.
18:50 A question, Pape?
18:51 Just on the symptoms, how do they manifest?
18:56 Yes, absolutely.
18:58 So that's a good question, because all the gravity of this pathology
19:03 lies in the silent and asymptomatic character.
19:06 So the patient will not feel any symptoms for several years,
19:10 then he will see his visual field shrink little by little,
19:13 and unfortunately he can end up in an absolute blindness,
19:18 hence the importance of early screening.
19:20 So that brings us to his early screening.
19:23 From what age? Is there an age when it should start?
19:29 So, as it is a silent and asymptomatic disease,
19:33 the only way to know if you have glaucoma
19:35 is to go to your ophthalmologist for an ophthalmological exam,
19:39 during which we will take the ocular tension
19:41 and perform an ophthalmological exam using the back of the eye.
19:45 But it is very important, in terms of screening,
19:49 to understand that there are risk factors,
19:51 and in particular the age.
19:53 So generally, glaucoma starts between 40 and 45 years old,
19:57 even if I continue to see in my office
19:59 some cases of congenital glaucoma that appear from birth.
20:03 So the second risk factor will be the major refractive disorders,
20:08 and in particular, strong myopia.
20:11 This is why we monitor myopias in a close way.
20:14 And the most frequent risk factor is heredity.
20:17 So I mean by heredity, the first-degree relative,
20:21 namely the parents and the brotherhood.
20:23 And that is why I invite all patients with a glaucoma parent
20:28 to go to the ophthalmologist for an ophthalmological exam.
20:32 And lastly, as I have just mentioned,
20:34 the cardiovascular risk factors are all risk factors
20:38 described in the glaucoma.
20:40 And I mean by that diabetes, arterial hypertension, obesity,
20:45 tobacco and sleep apnea.
20:47 - Ok, so now, people suffering from glaucoma,
20:51 precisely, eye tension is automatically a glaucoma.
20:56 - Eye tension, no.
20:58 It is a risk factor.
21:00 So, glaucoma is an optical nerve injury,
21:04 which is most often due to an increase in intraocular pressure.
21:07 But there is a rather complex entity called normal pressure glaucoma.
21:12 - Ok, and these people complain about stings and electric shocks in the eye.
21:18 Is it a symptom?
21:20 - So, it's...
21:21 - Do you hear about it? Do you get reports about it, doctor?
21:24 - We get reports about it very often.
21:25 So it is a reason for consultation that is very frequent in our specialty.
21:29 It can be due to many things.
21:30 Eye pain is one of the most frequent symptoms.
21:32 So, glaucoma can be painful in a corner.
21:35 This is what we call a tongue-closing glaucoma.
21:37 It is really a very important pain, with vomiting,
21:41 with cephalitis.
21:42 And it is a type of glaucoma, and it is the most dangerous type of glaucoma.
21:45 But most often, patients are surprised to learn that they have a glaucoma
21:49 during the consultation.
21:51 - So, once the diagnosis is made, by surprise, precisely, by chance,
21:55 what is next? What should be done?
21:57 - So, first of all, the examination takes place in several stages,
22:00 as I have just mentioned.
22:02 Then, if there is any doubt, we ask for additional examinations
22:05 to confirm the diagnosis.
22:07 Then, a close follow-up is needed.
22:10 So, the follow-up is first done every three months, and then annually.
22:13 The follow-up is done by the attention and the examinations that I have just mentioned.
22:19 And, above all, the treatment must be started early.
22:22 So, the treatment...
22:23 We currently have several therapeutic options.
22:27 First of all, hypotonic or hypotensive coli,
22:30 whose purpose is to lower intraocular pressure.
22:33 - Is it a life-long treatment?
22:35 - It is a life-long treatment, like all diseases.
22:37 Glaucoma is considered a chronic disease,
22:40 which requires, in most cases, a life-long treatment.
22:43 - So, sorry, another thing.
22:44 In relation to this treatment, precisely, based on coli or other,
22:47 is it a treatment that will delay the evolution of the disease,
22:51 or that will completely stop the evolution of the disease?
22:55 - So, as I have just said, the attainment of a neuropsychic is irreversible.
22:58 So, the stage at which we consult is a stage with which we start the treatment.
23:03 Hence, again, the early screening.
23:06 But, precisely, the treatment...
23:09 The purpose of the treatment will be either to stabilize the disease,
23:12 or to stop the evolution.
23:15 It comes back to the same, since the damage is irreversible.
23:18 So, we try not to lose anything more.
23:21 - That's it. That's it.
23:22 We manage to stop the evolution of the disease.
23:25 It has done damage, but we stop the evolution,
23:27 because in other pathologies, it is to delay the nefarious evolution.
23:33 - Absolutely.
23:34 So, that's the goal.
23:35 The goal is the target.
23:37 In fact, depending on the age, depending on the patient's background,
23:41 we try to discuss in relation to a target pressure,
23:44 in order to avoid additional damage.
23:48 - Yes, Pape.
23:49 - From which moment, we really have to resort to a surgical intervention?
23:55 - So, precisely, in terms of therapeutic options, as I said,
23:58 the first-intention treatment are the hypotonizing collars.
24:01 So, generally, we try to keep a target pressure with a medical treatment.
24:06 Otherwise, we can use laser treatments.
24:09 There are different types of lasers,
24:11 which will be chosen according to the type of glaucoma.
24:14 Some lasers will try to reduce the production of this liquid,
24:19 and other lasers will promote the elimination of this liquid.
24:23 And finally, sometimes, we resort, last resort, to glaucoma surgery,
24:28 which is called filtering surgery.
24:30 So, the difficulty, precisely, as it is a disease that is silent,
24:34 it is very difficult to explain to the patient who will have to resort to surgery.
24:39 That is why, in most cases, surgery is the last resort.
24:43 - Why? Because it is hard?
24:45 - So, who says surgery says risks.
24:48 As a doctor, we always try to have a balance between benefits and risks.
24:54 So, we try to use surgery when the other medical and mechanical treatments no longer have an effect.
25:01 In recent years, I have had the chance to be part of a team of experts
25:07 in the field of glaucoma internationally.
25:09 We have been able to follow several cases of refractory or overt glaucoma.
25:14 And, currently, there are several therapeutic trials, several studies.
25:19 In particular, some schools encourage laser treatment as soon as the glaucoma is diagnosed,
25:25 in order to save as much time as possible.
25:29 And then, there are also other therapeutic trials that are underway,
25:33 and I hope they will be implemented.
25:35 - I would just like to open a parenthesis.
25:37 Glaucoma is, to date, the first cause of irreversible seizures in the world.
25:41 So, it is very important to resort to early screening,
25:45 in view of irreversible damage to certain areas.
25:47 - From the age of 40?
25:48 - Absolutely.
25:49 - Well, I'm two years late.
25:51 Dr. Habib Attezi, thank you very much for being with us.
25:55 You are a phytomolegist doctor.
25:57 Pape, you still have a few years ahead of you for screening.
26:00 - I hope so.
26:01 - That's all for today.
26:03 Thank you for watching.
