01:01Opening today at the Parliament of the second session of the Legislative Year 2023-2024,
01:06the Talbi al-Ami has been re-elected to the Presidency of the House of Representatives.
01:09He has been re-elected to this post for the second half of the current legislation, which ends in 2026.
01:14The candidate of the Iranian Resistance, supported by the majority,
01:17made up of the Iranian Resistance, the UPAM and the Circles,
01:19has been re-elected with 264 votes on a total of 324 suffrages.
01:25His only challenger, the PGDist Abdelabou Hanou, has collected 23 votes.
01:33The House of Representatives has also opened today the work of the second session of the Legislative Year 2023-2024.
01:39For the President of the House of Representatives, Naim Mayara,
01:42this parliamentary session is held in a national context, marked by a new dynamic.
01:47Soheil Jalil tells us more.
01:56Opening of the second session of the Legislative Year in the House of Representatives.
02:00In a speech at the opening of this session,
02:03the President of the House of Representatives, Naim Mayara,
02:06stated that the parliamentary session in the spring is held in a national context,
02:10marked by a new dynamic,
02:12punctuated by a productive public debate on various socio-economic and political issues,
02:17in connection with the requirements of the current phase and the future challenges.
02:22Among these issues, the reform of the Family Code,
02:24which has been the subject of wide consultation with the various actors concerned
02:28in the application of royal self-orientation,
02:30calls for the adoption of a participatory approach
02:33in the treatment of this path of reform initiated by His Majesty the King.
02:38The House of Representatives opens the spring session of the eleventh legislature.
02:42I believe that what will mark this session is the number of projects of relative law
02:46on social issues that the government must present,
02:49in particular texts related to the reform of the Family Code,
02:52to the right to strike, in addition to other projects of social and political nature.
03:00We are going to open this session as part of the consecration of the government,
03:05as is open to dialogue, in particular within the House of Representatives.
03:09This April session is marked by economic indicators that we consider to be important.
03:17The period between the two parliamentary sessions
03:19is distinguished by the interest given to the work of moralizing life,
03:23political and public, ensuring that the project of the Code of Deontology
03:26will be subject to the appreciation of the Councilors,
03:28and this after the thorough examination of some of its provisions,
03:31as part of the consultations with the Presidents of the groups and groups in the Chamber
03:35and in coordination with the House of Representatives.
03:42Concerning the legislative production, this session is of great hope,
03:46especially for the project of relative law on the Family Code,
03:48or even that related to the organization and management of penitentiary establishments.
03:53The texts reacting to this domain will know a global and deep review,
03:57through texts aimed at strengthening the mechanisms of protection
04:00and preservation of human rights and human dignity.
04:09In terms of controlling government action,
04:11the period between the two sessions is an opportunity to address questions
04:15and problems of a local nature, through the mechanism of written questions,
04:19whose number has risen to 209.
04:21During this same period, 273 oral questions have been formulated
04:26and the government has responded to 352 written questions.
04:31745 million euros is the amount of the session contract
04:35signed between the French group Societe Generale and the Moroccan holding SEHEM.
04:40SEHEM thus takes over all the activities operated by Societe Generale Maroc,
04:44as well as that of the insurance company La Marocaine Vie,
04:47also held by Societe Generale via its subsidiary of insurance, Sogegap.
04:52All employees will also be taken over by SEHEM.
04:58After Israel has targeted the Iranian consulate in Damascus,
05:00Iran threatens to launch retaliation against the Hebrew state.
05:03And in the face of such announcements,
05:05the United States has decided to send reinforcements to the Middle East.
05:08Cheyma Fikri tells us more.
05:11While the mediating countries are waiting for answers from Israel and Hamas
05:15to their latest proposal of truce,
05:17the Gaza war provokes a new surge of fever in the region.
05:20Russia and Germany have called for restraint
05:23to avoid escalation in the Middle East,
05:25where tensions have doubled between Iran, Israel and their respective allies.
05:32We remain concerned about the risk of escalation in the Middle East,
05:35which we have been trying to mitigate and contain since October 7,
05:38and more particularly by the threats made in recent days by Iran
05:42against Israel and the Israeli people.
05:46Under pressure to deliver more aid to civilians from the Gaza Strip,
05:49threatened by famine,
05:51Israel promised Wednesday new measures
05:53to increase food deliveries.
05:58Following the Cabinet's decision,
06:00we have worked with international partners
06:02to send more aid by sea via the port of Ashdod,
06:06after which it will be transported to the point of passage to Gaza.
06:10The efforts of mediation have not allowed
06:12so far to reach a compromise.
06:14On Thursday, Israel accused Hamas of turning its back on a very reasonable offer,
06:18while the Israeli army announced
06:20that it had conducted an operation in the center of the Gaza Strip during the night.
06:24Netanyahu, meanwhile, continues to repeat that the war will continue
06:28until victory over Hamas and the liberation of all hostages.
06:31He maintains his terrestrial offensive project on the city of Rafah,
06:35which he considers as the last step
06:37of Hamas.
06:39This project arouses the opposition of many foreign capitals,
06:42starting with Washington,
06:44which fears heavy civilian losses in the city
06:46which has become a shelter for one and a half million people,
06:49according to the UN,
06:51mostly displaced people,
06:53fleeing the war further north.
06:56The Israeli army announced this Friday
06:58that a new point of passage had opened
07:00with the north of the Gaza Strip.
07:02This passage would host the first humanitarian aid trucks
07:05and would provide access to Palestinian civilians.
07:08The Israeli authorities have not revealed
07:10the number of trucks or the exact location of the new passage.
07:13For several months now,
07:15humanitarian organizations and several foreign chancellories,
07:18including the United States,
07:20have been urging Israel to offer direct supply routes
07:23to the north of the Gaza Strip,
07:25where the humanitarian situation is catastrophic.
07:29Norway is ready to recognize a Palestinian state.
07:32This is what the Norwegian Prime Minister said today
07:34in the presence of his Spanish counterpart Pedro Sanchez,
07:37who also pleads for such recognition.
07:40Norway is ready to make a decision
07:42on the recognition of a Palestinian state,
07:44said Jonas Garstorp during a press conference,
07:48adding that this decision must be taken
07:50according to the moment and the context
07:52and in close coordination with the countries
07:54sharing the same ideas.
07:59In Mali, the High Authority of Communication
08:01invited the media to stop all broadcast
08:03and publication of political activities
08:05and political activities of the associations.
08:08Yesterday, a decree published by the authorities of the transition
08:11suspended the activities of the political parties
08:13and this until further notice.
08:15This decree was adopted in the Council of Ministers
08:18by the President of the Transition,
08:20Colonel Hassimi Goyta.
08:24So what are the reasons that have urged the Malian government
08:27to decide to suspend the activities of the political parties
08:30and to ban the treatment of political subjects in the media?
08:33Here is an answer with our correspondent Mohamed Dagnoko.
09:00There are those who think that this decision of the government
09:03is to be saluted because it must lead to
09:06closing the public space
09:09because in Mali today there are more than 280 political parties
09:12for less than 12 million voters
09:14and 22 million Malians.
09:16And we estimate today, at least for this fringe,
09:19for those who are for this decision,
09:21that there are too many political parties
09:23and this decision must lead to closing the public space.
09:26As for the political parties, it is also divided.
09:29There are political parties that have made statements
09:31to recognize this decision of the authorities
09:33and to submit themselves.
09:35And on the other hand, there are parties,
09:37in any case party leaders,
09:39who have made posts on social networks
09:41to say outright that they rejected this decision.
09:43So it's still a bit of a division,
09:45whether within the political class
09:47or within the opinion in relation to this decision.
09:49There is no new date yet
09:51and this is what the political parties claimed
09:54when they met on March 31st
09:56to sign a joint statement
09:58asking the authorities to meet them,
10:01to agree on a schedule
10:03and to go to the elections.
10:05And so this has not been done.
10:07There is no date currently.
10:09But the inter-Malian dialogue is in progress.
10:11Certainly, when everyone will meet
10:13and there will be a consensus
10:15around everything that must be done,
10:17it may come out.
10:19But for now, there is no communicated date.
10:21We had talked about a light report
10:23from the Ministry of Spiritual Health,
10:25but in the current state of things,
10:27there is no communicated date.
10:29And so no one knows concretely
10:31when the elections will end
10:33because there is no date yet.
10:35In Nigeria, the authorities decided
10:37to reduce electricity subsidies
10:39for 15% of consumers.
10:41The measures announced to ease
10:43the pressure on public finances
10:45have led to an increase
10:47of 300% of electricity tariffs.
10:49Nigerians are angry and indignant
10:51about such decisions.
10:54Chukwude Nwoko
10:56runs Eko Aluminium Limited
10:58located in the Utako neighborhood
11:00in Abuja and offers all kinds
11:02of aluminium accessories,
11:04manufacturing of high-quality
11:06aluminium products such as doors
11:08and windows.
11:10With an increase of 300%
11:12of electricity tariffs,
11:14the situation is complicated
11:16for its company, which depends
11:18mainly on the National Electricity
11:20Company for its activities.
11:22It's affecting us because
11:24when you quote for work,
11:26you understand.
11:28It's affecting us because
11:30when you quote for work,
11:32maybe the light is not stable
11:34and when you decide
11:36to buy fuel,
11:38the price is really exorbitant.
11:40You can see that we are going
11:42to get like $5,000.
11:44The federal government explains
11:46that the measure would allow
11:48to save $2.6 billion
11:50on public funds,
11:52a way to lighten the pressure
11:54on public finances.
11:56But for many Nigerians,
11:58this would only increase
12:00the pressure on millions
12:02of people facing a life-threatening
12:04crisis.
12:06I saw the Minister of Energy
12:08say things according to which
12:10people leave their air conditioners
12:12and refrigerators on before
12:14going out, but that doesn't
12:16look at it. If I decide to put
12:18my air conditioners on,
12:20I don't understand where we are going.
12:22People are already complaining
12:24that the economy is not doing well.
12:26Now, if you send 10,000 Naira
12:28with you to recharge your counter
12:30for work in the morning and in the evening,
12:32you will see that the units of 10,000
12:34Naira will not even work 15 to 16 hours.
12:36Is it good? We are suffering.
12:38To remedy the situation,
12:40some are turning to the use
12:42of solar systems to run
12:44their shopping centers,
12:46such as this online toy shop.
12:48I think this is more...
12:50I think this system is more
12:52profitable for us than people
12:54who don't have any at all, because
12:56with it, we are able to continue
12:58our activity at any time and any
13:00day, regardless of the electricity
13:02of the national company.
13:04The authorities say that they
13:06would categorize customers
13:08using data from electricity distributors.
13:10These IT consultants
13:12have conducted some research
13:14on what it is about.
13:16I saw a list of locations
13:18that the government published.
13:20I saw a list of locations
13:22that the government published.
13:24Some cities, some areas,
13:26such as Abuja, should be affected.
13:28I did not see the complete list,
13:30but there were other places
13:32where activities were in progress
13:34and which were affected,
13:36but I did not see their names
13:38on the list.
13:40So I think what I would advise
13:42The Nigerian government has revised
13:44electricity prices for the last time
13:46in 2020.
13:48Its electricity sector is facing
13:50multiple problems,
13:52including a failing network,
13:54gas pollution,
13:56high debt and vandalism.
13:58The country has a capacity
14:00of 12,500 megawatts,
14:02but does not produce about a quarter,
14:04leaving many Nigerians
14:06dependent on power groups
14:08at the cost of diesel.
14:10In Nigeria, the president
14:12has signed a bill
14:14on student loans.
14:16For Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
14:18no one should be excluded
14:20from a quality education.
14:22Education is one of the major policies
14:24announced in the Nigerian president's program.
14:26The details with Gilbert Tamba
14:28from Abuja.
14:30The law will allow Nigerian students
14:32from higher education institutions
14:34to access loans at low interest rates
14:36for their school fees
14:38and other academic problems.
14:40For the federal government,
14:42no one should be excluded
14:44from a quality education
14:46and the possibility of building
14:48their future, whatever their origin.
14:52It is abolished
14:54the time when students
14:56fight to finance their studies,
14:58both in higher education
15:00and for those who seek to acquire
15:02skills and have the means
15:04to advance in their lives.
15:06It's a very great day for the country.
15:10This important bill aims
15:12to eliminate the financial obstacles
15:14that have long prevented many Nigerians
15:16from pursuing their studies
15:18or benefiting from a quality education
15:20at a higher level.
15:26We are happy
15:28with the Nigerian students
15:30that I represent.
15:32We have seen the president's commitment
15:34to the development of education
15:36and today the entire educational system
15:38is satisfied.
15:40Nigerian students are happy.
15:42Parents are happy.
15:44Even those who have financial difficulties
15:46can have access to quality education.
15:50However, some critics
15:52say that the conditions
15:54for access to loans are too hard.
15:56Others also think about the period
15:58of reimbursement after the studies.
16:00Our point of debate
16:02is that loans are reserved
16:04only for students of public universities
16:06and not for students of private institutions.
16:10Have you prepared work for them
16:12so that they can work and be reimbursed later?
16:14Why not give scholarships
16:16to Nigerian students?
16:18It's hard to find work
16:20when you finish your studies.
16:24I think it's supposed to be general
16:26both for the private and the public
16:28so that everyone can benefit.
16:30The current state of things
16:32implies that they tend to favor
16:34a party so I think they should
16:36remedy this issue.
16:38The education in Nigeria
16:40is confronted with many challenges
16:42including insufficient funding
16:44and therefore the lack of
16:46adequate classrooms,
16:48lack of educational material,
16:50the lack of quality teachers
16:52and the problem of a secure
16:54learning environment
16:56due to the removal by armed men
16:58from some parts of the country.
17:00Good start for the Lions
17:02of the Atlas Cup of Nations.
17:04For this first match of the 7th edition
17:06of this continental competition
17:08the men of Hicham Digue
17:10have won 5-2 against Angola.
17:12I propose to listen to the national team
17:14of Futsal.
17:16Despite the preparations,
17:18the mind plays a big role
17:20in the matches.
17:22The enthusiasm was on
17:24especially as this is the
17:26first official match
17:28in more than 4 years.
17:30All these factors
17:32impact the players.
17:34We tried to calm them down.
17:36We all respect our opponents
17:38but to be honest
17:40we took possession of the ball
17:42during the second half
17:44and we tried to score.
17:46When you win 3 points
17:48during the first match
17:50it's the best start.
17:52The audience is never a pressure for us.
17:54It is our motivation.
17:56As you have noticed,
17:58the players were able to free themselves
18:00from the pressure during the second half.
18:02Be sure that you will not be able
18:04to see such conditions elsewhere
18:06whether in the room or in the audience.
18:08Our audience is passionate about this sport.
18:10I am grateful to be part
18:12of this team.
18:14The audience will be present
18:16in every match.
18:18We always start our matches like this
18:20but I am sure that the level
18:22will improve thanks to the
18:24encouragement of the audience.
18:26We know that the level
18:28will improve with the
18:30attendance of the audience.
18:32Let's listen to the reactions
18:34of some players of the national
18:36team of Futsal, namely
18:38Soufiane Charaoui, Soufiane Nsarrar
18:40We won, that's what matters.
18:42We worked every day
18:44to achieve this result.
18:46We met the expectations of our coach.
18:54The first matches are always
18:56strong matches.
18:58We managed to correct the mistakes
19:00we made during the first half
19:02which was complicated.
19:04We followed the instructions of Mr. Hicham Dguig.
19:06We won thanks to the support
19:08of the audience.
19:10We hope to win the next match
19:12and qualify for the next round.
19:18The first match is the key
19:20of the qualification and the most
19:22difficult match.
19:24Despite the goal that was scored
19:26against us at the beginning of the match,
19:28we remedied the situation.
19:30The players did not give up.
19:32The instructions of the coach
19:34during the half allowed us to start
19:36scoring five goals.
19:38We hope to win the next two matches.
20:06All Mengão matches
20:08in the State championship and in the Brazilian League.
20:10Only on Premiere!
