00:00We are still together on Median TV, thank you for staying loyal to us, here are the
00:16titles of your newspaper.
00:17The Atlantic Initiative of His Majesty King Mohammed VI at the heart of an interview yesterday
00:23in Banjul between the head of Moroccan diplomacy Nasser Bouhita and his Nigerian counterpart
00:30Bakary Yaoussangari.
00:31We are talking about it in the East Zone.
00:32In Morocco, the authorities are accelerating the pace on the path of the World Cup 2030.
00:39An extensive meeting was held yesterday at the headquarters of the Ministry of the Interior
00:44to set up a unified system of shared action between the concerned ministries.
00:51More than 350 dead and tens of thousands displaced, East Africa has been devastated by torrential
00:57rains for the past two weeks, and now the Kenyans and Tanzania are preparing for the
01:04arrival of the Hidaya cyclone.
01:05But before developing these titles, we start this newspaper first with this royal message,
01:14a message of condolence that His Majesty King Mohammed VI addressed to the President
01:19of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, following the death of
01:25Sheikh Tahnoon bin Mohammed Al Nahyan, a death that the sovereign claims to have learned with
01:31a deep affliction and great emotion.
01:34His Majesty King Mohammed VI expresses to the President of the United Arab Emirates and
01:38to all members of the royal family his sincere feelings of compassion.
01:44We now go to the capital, Gambia, which hosted yesterday the meetings of the Foreign Ministers
01:53of the member countries of the Islamic Cooperation, in prelude to the 15th Islamic Summit planned
02:00this weekend.
02:01Morocco is represented by a strong delegation led by its Minister of Foreign Affairs, the
02:06Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bouhita, who took the opportunity to attend.
02:11Yesterday, with his Nigerian counterpart, Bakary Yaoussangare, the two ministers addressed
02:16the strengthening of relations of cooperation.
02:18They also mentioned topical issues within the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, but
02:24also the Atlantic Initiative launched by His Majesty King Mohammed VI to promote access
02:30to the Sahel states to the sea.
02:32I was very happy to see that things are moving forward regarding this royal initiative.
02:38Bakary Yaoussangare rejoices over the Nigerian minister.
02:42Things have gone faster and further on the Moroccan side in this area.
02:47The Nigerian official said that a meeting on this subject will take place very soon.
02:54At the level of Nigerian technical experts, those who are skeptical will understand that
02:59this is not a utopia, but real things.
03:02The minister said that His Majesty King Mohammed VI is really committed to helping the Sahel
03:09countries.
03:10Back in the Kingdom, where the authorities are accelerating the pace of the World Cup
03:19in 2030.
03:20This great celebration of global football is already being prepared in Morocco.
03:25An extensive meeting was held yesterday at the headquarters of the Ministry of the Interior.
03:30The objective is to set up a unified system of joint action between the concerned ministries
03:35based on an integrated roadmap.
03:38For Faouzi Lakja, the Minister-Delegate in charge of the budget, Morocco will take up
03:43the challenge of co-organization with Spain and Portugal and that this edition will be,
03:48as His Majesty King Mohammed VI wishes, the best in history.
03:52For his part, the Department of Tourism says it is mobilized for a better reception of
03:57teams and the public.
03:58I propose to listen to the Minister of Tourism, Fateme Zahra Amour.
04:03So today we are gathered, so all the departments concerned by the organization of the World
04:09Cup 2030, as well as all the territorial officials, in order to determine, in particular,
04:15the needs for the candidate for the World Cup.
04:21And we, as the Department of Tourism, of course, the issue is the capacity of accommodation
04:27for the FIFA teams, but also to welcome the public in the best conditions.
04:32And I think we come out of this meeting extremely mobilized.
04:37We will all work as a team, the departments, hand in hand, in order to be able to be ready
04:44for the candidate file in July, but also for the reception of this event that will
04:50make Morocco shine at the international level.
04:53Thank you.
04:54We remain in Rabat, where the Government Council has adopted the reform-bearing project of
05:00the regional investment centers and the creation of the regional unified investment commissions
05:05presented by the Minister of State, Morsine Jazouli.
05:09This bill is part of the pursuit of the reform of the CRI in the implementation of the high
05:15orientations of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
05:18The reform of the CRI has enabled a profound transformation in the approach of investment
05:23at the territorial level, thus consolidating the role of these centers as major players
05:28in the support and attraction of investment.
05:33In the rest of the news, there is still the war in Gaza, where Israeli hostages have been
05:39declared dead.
05:40An announcement is coming, while the mediator countries are waiting for the response of
05:46Hamas to a new proposal of Trev, associated with the liberation of hostages.
05:52A new proposal that the Palestinian movement says to study in a positive spirit.
05:58In the meantime, the weapons continue to pound in the Palestinian enclave.
06:03Nearly 34,600 Gazan have been killed.
06:06Those who are for the moment spared live in catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
06:11Valérie Ferrand, our correspondent in Al-Quds, gives us the point on the ground.
06:15So, concerning the Tefar, well, the city of Rafah, which you just mentioned, is still
06:22under intensive bombardment, as well as the central region and the city of Gaza itself,
06:28while the fights between the Israeli troops and the Palestinian factions continue a little
06:34bit everywhere.
06:35Let's note the situation, which remains dramatic, of course, at the humanitarian level.
06:41Israel announced, and we saw it during the visit of the head of American diplomacy,
06:46Tony Blinken.
06:48She opened the Hezbollah checkpoint.
06:51The Hezbollah checkpoint is the one in the northernmost part of the Gaza Strip, which
06:55was the first to be targeted by Hamas on October 7th.
07:00Since then, Israel has always refused to reopen it, saying that it had been destroyed.
07:06But, due to pressure, it has been reopened to let humanitarian convoys pass, which are
07:12particularly important, since they will be able to go directly to the northern region
07:18of the Gaza Strip, the region that has experienced the most severe devastation since October
07:257th, and which is, above all, the most prolific famine.
07:30At the same time, what we need to know is that Israel, the humanitarian aid in itself,
07:37has not really increased, since while Israel opened this Hezbollah checkpoint, at the same
07:45time there were the Pesach holidays, and there were always demonstrations against the delivery
07:51of aid inside the Gaza Strip, which means that other checkpoints were closed for more
07:56or less long periods, and in fact, humanitarian aid always comes at a cost, and the situation
08:02becomes more and more catastrophic over the weeks.
08:05The United Nations has also warned about the fact that the heat will set in, making
08:10the risk of epidemics even more serious.
08:14And in this context, the movement of students against the Israeli offensive continues to
08:19escalate in Europe, a movement that is part of the United States.
08:22And on the spot, Joe Biden was forced yesterday to leave his silence after police interventions
08:28to evict demonstrators at Columbia University.
08:31For the American president, the order must prevail.
08:34The tenant of the White House assures that he will always defend freedom of expression,
08:38but not in these conditions.
08:43And after these demonstrations on American campuses, several arrests have taken place.
08:48Since April 17, police forces have proceeded with arrests on at least 30 university sites.
08:56For two weeks now, the mobilization of support in Gaza has been multiplying across the United
09:02States, from California to major universities in the Northeast.
09:06A wave of support that recalls the demonstrations against the Vietnam War.
09:11There is one big difference with the students.
09:15There is a big difference with 1968.
09:18Students, 56 years ago, were called under the flags.
09:22It was our country that committed direct murders.
09:25And we were all worried about our fate.
09:28Men, of course, feared to be called to kill people in Vietnam.
09:32Today, these young people are not called under the flags.
09:36They act for purely altruistic reasons.
09:43The campuses of Los Angeles, New York, Dallas, all have known of the deployment these last
09:48days of the police.
09:49At the University of Texas in Dallas, the police dismantled Wednesday a protest camp and arrested
09:55at least 17 people for criminal intrusion.
09:58New York University students, Fordham University, did not escape either.
10:03Police also evacuated a camp set up in the morning on the campus.
10:08According to the city police, about 300 people were arrested in New York on two university
10:13sites.
10:14Local media have claimed that other camps had also been dismantled early Wednesday
10:20on the campuses of the University of Arizona in Texas and the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
10:25respectively, in the south-east and north of the country, since April 17.
10:29The police have made arrests on at least 30 university sites.
10:35Free the students!
10:37Free Palestine!
10:38I'm completely sympathetic with the Palestinian cause.
10:56For seven hours, the Muslim students couldn't find places to pray.
11:04We go around the globe and make the political world react violently.
11:07Six months after the presidential election in a polarized country, the White House has
11:11on its side condemned Wednesday a small percentage of students, which causes disorder.
11:16As a reminder, students from different American universities call on institutions to cut
11:21the bridges with mercenaries or companies linked to Israel and denounce Washington's
11:26support for his Israeli ally.
11:29The European Union at the helm of Lebanon travels yesterday in the country of Cedre.
11:34The President of the European Commission has announced an aid of one billion euros to
11:38support the socio-economic stability of the country.
11:41Ursula von der Leyen, accompanied by President Cypriot, also counts on a good cooperation
11:47of Beirut in the fight against illegal immigration to Europe from the Lebanese coasts.
11:53It was in the presence of Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mekati.
11:59I told you in the headlines, more than 350 dead and tens of thousands displaced.
12:05East Africa has been devastated by torrential rains for two weeks.
12:10Kenya and Tanzania are preparing for the arrival of Cyclone Idaia.
12:15In Kenya, floods have already cost more than 180 lives since March.
12:21The neighboring Tanzania, where at least 155 people perished in landslides and landslides,
12:28should also feel the strength of Cyclone Idaia.
12:37The courts of the Grand Tunis without lawyers yesterday.
12:40Black robes were on strike.
12:42These lawyers protest against, I quote,
12:44the pressures they face in the exercise of their functions.
12:49Najwa Bechat.
12:52By dressing in their black robes, the lawyers of Tunisia met this morning
12:57in front of the court of first instance to protest against the oppression of lawyers
13:02and the obstacles encountered by the defense during the exercise of their profession,
13:07mainly in the case of conspiracy against the safety of the state.
13:11In a movement of solidarity with journalists,
13:14prevented from covering the present strike of lawyers,
13:17slogans were launched in favor of the freedom of the press and against the restrictions.
13:25The subject of today's strike is precisely the difficulties encountered by the lawyers of the political prisoners
13:32in the so-called conspiracy against the safety of the state,
13:35which sees in particular the refusal of visitation permits.
13:39So the lawyers protest against what they consider as harassment,
13:44which they are objecting to when it comes to defending rights and freedoms.
13:53Today we see journalists behind the main door of the court covering the protest of lawyers.
14:00We consider that this is extremely dangerous and constitutes a restriction on the freedom of the press.
14:10A second demonstration was also organized in front of the court,
14:15led by the lawyers and members of the Association of Democratic Women,
14:20in solidarity with lawyer Bouchra Belhaja Hamida,
14:23during her trial while she was out of Tunisia.
14:27Bouchra is now accused of serious violations,
14:34which are even terrorist accusations.
14:36So on the basis of prosecution that can lead to death penalty,
14:42today we are all in solidarity with Bouchra Belhaja Hamida,
14:47who is unfortunately forced to leave the country.
14:52In solidarity with the lawyers Razi Chaweshi and Eliva Belhaja in detention for 10 months,
14:58hundreds of their colleagues have signed a petition calling for their release.
15:04The petition was signed by 6 former lawyers and members of the Association of Democratic Women.
15:10During this demonstration, the police, on the order of the Public Prosecutor's Office,
15:14prevented journalists from entering the court and covering the event.
15:19From Tunisia, Saint-Joachim Béchat, Comédien.
15:24In Mali, 50 old manuscripts from 9 libraries
15:28at the heart of a competition on the initiative of the Mohamed VI Foundation of African Ulemas,
15:33the laureates of the Mali section will be in competition in Fez in a month
15:38with manuscripts from other countries on the continent.
15:42They date back several centuries and have been well preserved in 9 libraries in the region of Tomboktu.
15:49These 50 manuscripts on the initiative of the Mohamed VI Foundation of African Ulemas
15:55have been put in competition with the following criteria.
15:59The antiquity of the manuscript,
16:02the rarity of the manuscript,
16:05the scientific value of the manuscript,
16:08the importance and the place that occupies the author of the manuscript.
16:14So there are 10 criteria that have been pre-established by the Mohamed VI Foundation.
16:20The library Mama Haidera of Tomboktu, which presented this manuscript to this competition,
16:25was the first class, followed by the libraries Mogaz Anawiy and Kadhi Ahmedbab.
16:32It is an extraordinary manuscript that speaks of the science of the Koran.
16:38Written in 1806, it is one of the oldest manuscripts.
16:46The writing of this manuscript is magnificent.
16:50It is the Maghreb writing in Tomboktu in our library.
16:55This competition, in addition to the other initiatives of the Foundation,
16:59aims to strengthen the links between the countries
17:02and to realize the South-South partnership taken by the King Mohamed VI.
17:08The King Mohamed VI, King of Morocco, Amir Mo'mineen,
17:11whom the Lebanese gods protect,
17:14has created the Mohamed VI Foundation to form a framework for cooperation
17:21between Morocco and all African countries.
17:25Also for the exchange of experience between Moroccan and African Islamists
17:33and for the rapprochement and dialogue between religions in Africa.
17:39Finally, to take care and preserve the African Islamic heritage
17:48and especially the manuscripts.
17:51During this ceremony, the Moroccan ambassador to Mali highlighted
17:55the excellence of the relations between the two countries
17:58and the contribution of Morocco, the first African investor, to Mali.
18:04On the occasion of the World Press Day, this Friday,
18:09the National Union of the Moroccan Press published its annual report on the freedom of the press.
18:16The report addresses the state of affairs of the press in the kingdom
18:20on the legislative level as well as on the level of public and private press establishments.
18:24The SNP emphasizes the need to generalize collective conventions
18:29in order to protect the socio-economic rights of professionals.
18:34It also advocates the revision of laws related to the press
18:38and the publication in order to respect the rights and freedoms
18:43enunciated in the International Charter of Human Rights.
18:46The SNP has also emphasized the need to reform the public pole
18:52to make it more competitive in order to better serve national causes.
18:59This is the end of this report.
19:02Thank you for following it.
19:04The information continues on Mediantv and Mediantv Africa.
