00:00Good evening and welcome to Média TV. Thank you for joining us to talk about the news.
00:18Here are the headlines.
00:19The Palestinian presidency calls for aggression against its people, the adoption yesterday
00:26by the U.S. Congress of an additional financial support to Israel. A $95 billion debt plan
00:32has been adopted in favor of Ukraine, the Hebrew state and Taiwan.
00:35A send-off of the Angola-Morocco match in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations at the
00:42Futsal Hall of Prince Moulay Abdullah Rabah's room.
00:48Direction Fez in the spiritual capital of the kingdom, the festival of culture continues.
00:54The African continent is in the spotlight.
01:01Volodymyr Zelensky salutes the support of the United States in its military offensive against Russia.
01:05The reactions follow after the adoption yesterday by the U.S. Congress of a $95 billion debt plan.
01:10$61 billion will be allocated to Ukraine and this debt plan will be reviewed on Tuesday by the Senate,
01:15but its adoption could make Mike Johnson lose his position as Speaker.
01:19Some Republicans blame him for having given his support to the long-defended text by Joe Biden.
01:33The aid plan adopted by the U.S. Congress will also benefit Israel and Taiwan.
01:37An aid deemed excessive in view of the extent of the damage caused by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.
01:43The Palestinian presidency has described this support as an aggression against its people.
01:52Despite the concerns of the international community about the fate of civilians in Gaza,
01:56the U.S. deputies approved on Saturday a $26 billion military aid for Israel.
02:01These funds will be used to strengthen the anti-Semitic Israeli shield, called the Iron Dome.
02:07The text must now be approved at the Senate, where a first vote could take place on Tuesday.
02:13The Palestinian presidency reacted on Saturday to the approval by the U.S. House of Representatives of this military aid.
02:19The caliphate of aggression against the Palestinian people, Nebil Abu-Rudayna,
02:23spokesman for the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas,
02:26has stated that this money may be translated by thousands of Palestinian victims in the Gaza Strip and in six Jordan.
02:32He also denounced a dangerous escalation.
02:35On his side, the Israeli Prime Minister expressed himself on his account X,
02:39thanking the U.S. and stating that this aid project is highly appreciated,
02:43witnessing a strong bipartisan support for Israel and defending Western civilization.
02:48The Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yisrael Katz,
02:51also spoke of his enchantment through the X platform, stating,
02:56this vote proves the close ties and strategic partnership between Israel and the U.S.
03:01and sends a strong message to our enemies.
03:03End of quote.
03:04At the moment when Israel is waiting for the approval of the Senate,
03:07the situation of the Palestinians only worsens.
03:09The Israeli forces lead almost daily raids in six Jordan.
03:13They say they want to fight against Palestinian armed groups.
03:16On Sunday, two Palestinian teenagers were shot by Israeli soldiers in six Jordan.
03:23In the south of the Gaza Strip, the civilian defense has announced
03:27that at least 50 Palestinian bodies have been buried in the courtyard of a hospital.
03:32Six months after the start of the war,
03:34Benyamin Netanyahu continues to claim his determination to launch a terrestrial offensive in Arafat.
03:39However, this Friday, the G7 reaffirmed its opposition to a large-scale military operation
03:44in this border town with Egypt,
03:47thus redoubling a bloodbath in this town where nearly 1.5 million people have been displaced.
03:53In the south of the Gaza Strip, two Palestinian teenagers were shot by Israeli soldiers in six Jordan.
03:58At least 14 people have been killed in recent days
04:01by Israeli attacks on the camp of Nour Shems near Tulkarem in the north of the six Jordan.
04:18In Tunisia, local and international organizations
04:22have participated in the formulation of a common approach
04:26to deal with what they consider as threats to human rights.
04:29Najwa Bechat tells us more.
04:3316 national and international organizations committed to the protection of human rights
04:38have participated in the National Defense Forum
04:41on Victims of Judicial Partiality and Unfair Trials.
04:46This event was the occasion to diagnose the judicial system in Tunisia.
04:52For the past three years, with the establishment of the State of Exception,
04:56there has been a shift in the articulations of a state,
05:00there has been a narrowing of the civic space and the political space,
05:05there has been an abolition of the principle of separation of power.
05:09So, in fact, following this diagnosis,
05:12we have tried, and we are still trying,
05:15to bring together all the actors of the civic space
05:18with its general sense
05:20to be able to at least clear paths of coordination and collaboration
05:24regardless of our ideological differences and structural differences
05:29to at least try to save what can be saved
05:32for a more democratic and realistic Tunisia.
05:36During the forum, human rights organizations
05:40denounced what they considered as a violation of judicial procedures
05:45and the interference of the executive power
05:48in the so-called conspiracy against the security of the state.
05:52The political prisoners accused in this case
05:55have been hiding behind bars for 14 months
05:58despite the end of their temporary detention.
06:03It is difficult to speak of the principles of a fair trial
06:07when we are faced with a judiciary subject to executive power
06:12because one of the conditions of the principles of a fair trial
06:16is that the justiciable must appear before an independent judge,
06:21an honest judge who applies the procedures
06:24in accordance with the law,
06:26equally with the other justiciables.
06:31Since July 25, 2021,
06:34the freedom of the press and expression in Tunisia,
06:37formerly considered as a disinheritance of the revolution,
06:40have taken a marked step back.
06:42According to the Human Rights Organizations,
06:45the executive has intensified its pursuit
06:48of journalists and politicians,
06:51thus showing a growing pressure
06:54aimed at mutilating the media and distancing the opposition.
07:00The development of study programs in educational institutions
07:03allows to increase the skills and competences of students.
07:08The model of EDOFESS is a forum of enrichment
07:11organized by the Regional Academy of Sciences
07:14and the Association of Physical Sciences Teachers.
07:17Details with Soheil Janil.
07:19Water Engineering is the theme of the activities
07:22of this enrichment forum,
07:24organized as part of the activities of the Festival
07:27of the Scientific Heritage of the City of EDOFESS,
07:30an event aimed at initiating young people
07:33to renewable energies.
07:35It is a unique and very playful experience
07:38and will also allow us to find solutions
07:41to the water stress that our country knows.
07:44Water plays a key role for fauna and flora,
07:47including the need to change our behavior
07:50and to preserve water as a source of life.
07:54In the face of the global crisis of poverty,
07:57water is a source of life.
08:00In the face of the global crisis of water poverty,
08:03artificial intelligence offers innovative solutions
08:06that could change the situation,
08:09including the need to include these materials
08:12in the educational curriculum.
08:15The main goal is to preserve water
08:18and to promote positive civil behavior
08:21among teachers, especially new students.
08:24The main focus of this festival
08:27is to preserve water resources
08:30and to raise awareness among young people
08:33to fight against water waste.
08:36The rationalization of water consumption
08:39is a national but also a global challenge.
08:42Our goal is to encourage these young people
08:45to participate in a general effort
08:48to save this precious resource.
08:51Education and innovation are like
08:54two sides of the same coin.
08:57One cannot go without the other.
09:00This festival is a brilliant example
09:03of what can be done within future generations
09:06to help find solutions
09:09to water scarcity in our country.
09:12Closing the curtain on the art market
09:15and the show of Abidjan
09:19we can see many performances
09:22full of emotion.
09:25This is a report by Max Houbi
09:28and Anjou Wilfred-Méhongna.
09:31Circuses, puppets, fairy tales,
09:34dance, humor, fashion, music,
09:37slams, street art and theater,
09:40more than a hundred shows,
09:43MASA 2024 will certainly keep its promise.
09:46This is one of the largest art forums in Africa.
09:49From April 13 to 20,
09:52the Abidjan Art Market will support
09:55the creation, production of quality shows,
09:58the training of artists and operators
10:01of the production chain of shows
10:04and especially the development of the art sector of the Seine.
10:07Let's not forget that we are in an art market
10:10and that we are in an industry.
10:13A country can only live because it can make a living
10:16and a country can only develop cultural policies
10:19because it is a cultural policy
10:22that is part of a market.
10:25I think that MASA has fulfilled its role
10:28to open Abidjan,
10:31to open the Ivory Coast to the world
10:34and to the global music market.
10:37It is to say that African art
10:40is making great progress
10:43because we were a little diminished
10:46but now we have confidence in ourselves
10:49and we are making great progress.
10:52Congratulations to our artists,
10:55it's great, I'm delighted,
10:58I'm very happy,
11:01like all my comrades who are there,
11:04we are proud to have participated in MASA 2024.
11:07The last hours of the show,
11:10here at the Palace of Culture,
11:13where a quarrel of artists of all musical genres takes place.
11:16End of the 20th edition of the Festival du Printemps Musical
11:19des Alizés, in the city of Essaouira.
11:22Three beautiful days of symphony
11:25that the fans of classical music enjoyed.
11:28The public responded presently to the great happiness
11:31of Andrea Zolaï, President and Founder of the Essaouira Mogador Association
11:35for this great musical meeting.
11:38It's a new strain,
11:41it's a musician who is from another start
11:44because it's been five years now
11:47that the Alizés, our Alizés,
11:50have an exceptional meeting
11:53for the music lovers,
11:56for the lovers of chamber music
11:59and for Essaouira,
12:02so here we are,
12:05we are back,
12:08and I think this edition,
12:11both with emotion, with joy,
12:14with also this complicity
12:17that made this festival
12:20a somewhat singular meeting
12:23because we are not hundreds of thousands,
12:26we are a few thousand,
12:29but we are so close,
12:32so enthusiastic,
12:35and at the same time,
12:38what impresses me in each edition
12:41is this very fine capillarity
12:44between the usual public of this festival
12:47and the music.
12:50I don't know, I travel a lot,
12:53I like music a lot,
12:56so we are, of course,
12:59here to listen,
13:02but we are everywhere,
13:05we are in the orchestra,
13:08we are in the stage,
13:11we are in the hall,
13:14we are all together,
13:17musicians and public mixed together
13:20and it was, I think,
13:23a very special experience.
13:26We stay in Essaouira
13:29where the spirits of chamber music
13:32were invited to a musical journey yesterday
13:35in Voutan, a musical morning
13:38animated by young Moroccan talents.
13:41This is a report by Elhan Baraday
13:44from Hayat Ziani.
13:47To make the musical heritage of the Mediterranean
13:51we invited Elhan Baraday
13:54to participate in the musical spring
13:57of the Essaouira allies
14:00which celebrates its 20th edition this year.
14:03The ensemble Elhan
14:06was created very recently
14:09and we decided to do a project
14:12with the Vocalia ensemble
14:15where the project was already created in 2016
14:18with very deep research
14:21to find the sacred songs
14:24of the Mediterranean basin
14:27so we did a research
14:30and then we started to sort
14:33on the research we did
14:36and then we made an arrangement.
14:39Vocalia is a group of voices
14:42whose main members
14:45are members of the Philharmonic of Morocco.
14:48They are music teachers
14:51and thanks to this opportunity
14:54we wanted to show another side
14:57of our know-how.
15:00The group consists of 8 artists
15:03and for this concert
15:06we chose the sacred songs of the Mediterranean.
15:09The program we presented today
15:12is dedicated to the Essaouira allies
15:15and to the cultural heritage
15:18of the Essaouira allies.
15:21In Darsouiri, one of the 4 spaces
15:24that hosts the festival
15:27it was the turn of the young artists
15:30to perform and for some
15:33it was a first.
15:36They are part of the MESAIA program
15:39and we are very happy
15:42to have them here today.
15:48With great pleasure
15:51we meet our audience
15:54after 5 years of interruption
15:57due to Covid-19.
16:00It is true that this festival
16:03has all its place in Essaouira.
16:06It was initiated by Mr. André Azoulay
16:09and the Essaouira Longador association.
16:12At the beginning, very few people believed in it.
16:15Now, 20 years later,
16:18it is still the only classical music festival
16:21in Morocco.
16:24It is a festival that has its place
16:27in the international scene.
16:31The faithful and many people
16:34were at the rendezvous
16:37transported by the melodies of the musicians.
16:40The spectators left conquered.
16:43Essaouira continues to celebrate 20 years later
16:46classical music, excellence and youth.
16:55After Essaouira, direction Fès
16:58and the spiritual capital of the kingdom,
17:01the festival of Sufi culture continues.
17:04The African continent is honored.
17:10At the heart of Fès,
17:13the scientific and spiritual capital of the kingdom,
17:16the 16th edition of the festival of Sufi culture was launched
17:19under the patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
17:22An edition that guaranteed to its audience
17:25the beauty of Sufi culture.
17:36It is a festival dedicated to Sufi culture.
17:39It represents an immaterial and rich heritage.
17:42This heritage is one of the pillars of Moroccan civilization.
17:45This is why Morocco is characterized
17:48by its rooted culture.
17:51But at the same time, it has the ability
17:54to promote its own culture
17:57as well as on the scientific side
18:00and other religions through this festival.
18:03We organize tours in places and spaces
18:06located in Fès
18:09and which represent a material heritage.
18:15The program of this 16th edition
18:18wants to diversify and distribute
18:21the knowledge of Moroccan music
18:24and its cultural influences.
18:27We have several groups from
18:30Mauritania, Tanzania, Pakistan,
18:33from Syria, from several countries.
18:36We have musical moments in the afternoon
18:39and concerts in the evening
18:42with the great Marwan Haji for example
18:45or the singer Yahya Hussein.
18:48There are also concert moments
18:51with the Boutchiche, Wazania,
18:54Cherkaouia and Skalia.
18:57Welcome!
19:00The festival is an opportunity
19:03to strengthen exchanges and dialogue
19:06between experts and the public
19:09through meetings with philosophers,
19:12artists and intellectuals
19:15from all over the world
19:18in order to reflect on the great challenges
19:21that societies are facing.
19:24In the final of the Africa Cup,
19:27the nations of Futsal.
19:30It is a draw between Morocco and Angola
19:33by a goal everywhere.
19:36The match takes place at Prince Moulay Abdelah
19:39de Rabat Stadium and Lyon de l'Atlas
19:43This is the end of this newscast.
