00:25the liberation of four Israeli hostages.
00:27A liberation at the cost of many Palestinian lives, details to be followed in this newspaper.
00:34This Sunday marks the last round of the European elections,
00:37a voting day that concludes an electoral marathon
00:40likely to redraw political balances in Europe.
00:47Age 1445 in Mecca, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia took all measures
00:52and mobilized all means to guarantee the security of the pilgrims,
00:56a guarantee given by the Directorate of Public Security and the Security Committee of the Pilgrimage.
01:01We meet again right now for the development.
01:05Welcome ladies and gentlemen, we open this newspaper with the section
01:09of the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulemas in the Democratic Republic of Congo
01:14which organized in Kinshasa the phases of the qualification for the 5th edition
01:19of the memorization, recitation and psalm of the Holy Qur'an contest.
01:24The Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulemas therefore aims through this Qur'anic contest
01:29to encourage children and young Africans to be interested in memorization,
01:34recitation, psalmology and study of the Holy Qur'an.
01:38The ambassador of Morocco to Kinshasa, Rachid Agassim,
01:44the advisor of the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo
01:48as well as other religious and political personalities, attended this contest.
01:54On the 247th day of the war in Gaza, the tension is still alive.
01:58Tzahal announced yesterday the liberation of four Israeli hostages,
02:02the liberation at the cost of many Palestinian lives,
02:06more than 200 according to Hamas, especially in the center of Gaza
02:10where the Israeli army intensifies its strikes.
02:13The Palestinian Presidency points the finger at the hand of the United States
02:17which continues to provide weapons to Israel.
02:20At the same time, humanitarian aid has returned to Gaza
02:24via the American temporary jet that was damaged by a storm.
02:32Speaking of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu was close to taking a member of his government.
02:40Benny Gantz had promised to speak yesterday.
02:43Subsequently, he also canceled his press conference without any explanation.
02:48He had announced a probable resignation of the cabinet of war
02:52in case of non-adoption of a plan of action on the post-war Gaza.
02:56The Israeli Prime Minister asked him to stay in the government
03:00because, he said, their state of union is not the advantage.
03:07Let's stay in Israel where, like every Saturday,
03:10there were thousands of people demonstrating in Tel Aviv
03:15with the same slogans, they always demand the government to agree
03:19to bring home the few supposed remaining hostages.
03:27Demonstrations also took place in Palestine.
03:30Thousands of people gathered Saturday near the White House in Washington
03:35to express their anger at Joe Biden and his policy
03:39which he calls too conciliatory towards Israel in his war against Gaza.
03:45The situation in Gaza does not leave some countries of South America indifferent.
03:54After announcing a few weeks ago the breakup of its diplomatic relations with Israel,
04:01Colombia will also stop exporting its coal to Tel Aviv
04:06as long as the war continues in the Gaza Strip.
04:11The international news is also marked by the last day of the European elections.
04:17France, Greece, Italy, Germany and many other countries
04:21are electing their MEPs today,
04:24there are 720 of them on Sunday,
04:27which marks the end of an election marathon
04:30likely to redraw the political balance of a European Parliament
04:34where the far-right is expected to win.
04:41In the same vein, concerning the European elections,
04:44the French are voting today to elect the MEP
04:47at the end of a campaign dominated by the National Assembly
04:51which could make a historic score and inflict a bloody blow
04:56on Emmanuel Macron two years after his re-election.
04:59If the curves of the polls can vary,
05:01two factors can create surprises,
05:04the participation and uncertainty of the choice.
05:07From 15% to 20% of voters say they are able to change their mind
05:11up to the ballot box.
05:13In all scenarios, victory seems promised
05:16to Jordan Bardella's list of MEPs
05:19who has been in charge of the polls for months
05:22and could increase his score by nearly 10 points,
05:25already at 23.34% in 2019.
05:31This Sunday marks the last day of Joe Biden's visit to France.
05:35The US President and his counterpart showed their unity yesterday
05:39in the face of the transatlantic challenge,
05:42which began with the war in Ukraine.
05:44The two heads of state also mentioned the conflict in Gaza.
05:47More details with Soured Jalila.
05:52In Paris, Macron and Biden show their unity.
05:55The US President is officially visiting France
05:58two days after landing on French soil
06:01to attend the 80th anniversary of the landing.
06:04In addition to this visit,
06:06the issues are above all international and economic.
06:09The aim of this day is to allow the two heads of state
06:12to agree their violence on international issues.
06:15On the situation in Gaza,
06:17France supports the agreement between Israel and Hamas
06:20put on the table by the Americans for a ceasefire.
06:25In Gaza, we want to obtain the immediate release of hostages.
06:30We congratulate the four Israeli hostages
06:33released this day by the Israeli army.
06:37We want to achieve an immediate ceasefire
06:40and open the prospect of a political solution,
06:43the only one to create the conditions for a just and sustainable peace
06:48and meet the security demands of the two peoples.
06:51This is why we support the global agreement proposal of the United States.
06:56After nine months of conflict,
06:59the situation in Arafat, like the human balance, is unacceptable.
07:03It is also intolerable that Israel does not open all points of access to humanitarian aid,
07:08as the international community has been asking for several months.
07:12We reiterate our request to cease fire
07:15so that aid can arrive massively.
07:18Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron should also address various issues
07:22such as climate change, artificial intelligence and supply chains,
07:27NATO strengthening and the Middle East situation.
07:30Another front for the two presidents,
07:32support for Ukraine and crises in Africa.
07:37I would like to echo the comments of President Macron
07:40saluting the rescue of four hostages
07:42who were returned to their families in Israel.
07:44We will not stop working
07:46until all the hostages do not return home
07:48and a ceasefire is not concluded.
07:50This is essential.
07:52Today, I am proud to be on the side of France
07:54and to support freedom and democracy in the world.
07:57This is the meaning of this spectacular week.
07:59Mr. President, we had the opportunity to talk about many other things.
08:03We will continue to talk.
08:05I really appreciate your cooperation and your ideas.
08:08Thank you.
08:12This day of diplomatic pump
08:14could feed the critics of the opponents of the French head of state
08:16who accuse him, before the European elections,
08:19of having campaigned all week
08:21undercover to deal with foreign policy.
08:23The visit will be concluded by a gala dinner.
08:25Washington has promised announcements
08:27on maritime security in the Asia-Pacific region.
08:30Partnerships, including the fight against climate change,
08:33are also mentioned.
08:36Politics brings us to India
08:38with Prime Minister Narendra Modi
08:40who must swear his oath this Sunday
08:42for a third mandate after mixed electoral results
08:45that make him dependent on an alliance
08:47of five coalition partners
08:49to govern the most populous country in the world.
08:52During the ceremony planned
08:54at the presidential palace in New Delhi,
08:56about thirty ministers will also swear their oath
08:59on the constitution,
09:01even if Narendra Modi has not yet communicated
09:03on the composition of his new government.
09:09In view of the Hajj of 1445,
09:12the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia took all measures
09:15and mobilized all means
09:17to guarantee the security of the pilgrims
09:19during the completion of the Hajj.
09:21Yesterday, Alamek,
09:23the director of public security
09:25and president of the committee
09:27for the security of the Hajj,
09:29the lieutenant-general Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Basami,
09:33expressed himself during a press conference.
09:35Al-Basami made it known
09:37that the security forces will fight firmly
09:40against any attempted attack
09:42on the security and safety of the faithful
09:45from their arrival at the holy place
09:47until their departure to their respective countries.
09:53The security situation is very tense in Somalia.
09:56At least 47 members of the terrorist group Al-Shabaab
09:59and five Somali soldiers were killed yesterday
10:02in clashes in the region of Gal Gadud,
10:06350 km north of the capital Mogadishu,
10:10the government indicated in a statement.
10:13Somali forces had information
10:15about an attack planned in the region
10:17in Kalder
10:19by the elements of Al-Shabaab,
10:21a group affiliated with Al-Qaeda,
10:23and thus extended a search
10:25to specify the same source.
10:30In Côte d'Ivoire,
10:31merchants applauded
10:33and rejoiced at the agreement
10:35between the federation that regroups them
10:37and the port of Abidjan,
10:39an agreement that should lower
10:41the costs of the transport of goods
10:43in the coming weeks.
10:45Max Sauby and Ferdinand Kouakou
10:47tell us more about it.
10:49The port of Abidjan,
10:51the backbone of the Ivorian economy,
10:53is characterized by the high cost
10:55of the transport of goods,
10:57from the unloading of the ship
10:59to the storage, to the delivery.
11:01This generates excessive costs
11:03for the merchants.
11:05The current partnership agreement
11:07between Abidjan Terminal,
11:09the ship's maintenance
11:11and Finaxiport
11:13will accelerate the dynamization
11:15of the economic activities
11:17of the merchants
11:19as well as the competitiveness
11:21of the first container terminal
11:23of the autonomous port of Abidjan
11:25to the benefit of economic
11:27and population operators.
11:29The cost of the port
11:31could therefore be reduced
11:33in the coming weeks.
11:35Today, it is about being able
11:37to have the right information
11:39with a simplified procedure
11:41to take out and remove
11:43their goods in time
11:45at the slightest cost.
11:47We have considered it useful
11:49to sign a partnership
11:51with Abidjan Terminal
11:53in order to understand
11:55some of the issues
11:57that make it possible
11:59for the merchants
12:01to abandon
12:03their containers
12:05on the quays.
12:07We are here to defend
12:09the interests of our operators.
12:11Minimizing the costs,
12:13the fake costs,
12:15so that the end consumer
12:17can consume less.
12:19This is also the battle of the Finaxiport.
12:21The agreement protocol
12:23between the two entities
12:25envisages, among other things,
12:27minimizing the shipment of goods
12:29at the auction,
12:31fighting efficiently against
12:33surcharges, points that will
12:35make it possible
12:37for the merchants
12:39to be able to
12:41sell their goods
12:43at a lower price
12:45than the price
12:47that the merchants
12:49are willing to pay
12:51for their goods.
12:53This is also the battle
12:55of the Finaxiport
12:57between the two entities
12:59envisaging
13:01minimizing the costs
13:03and fighting efficiently
13:05against surcharges,
13:07points that will
13:09make it possible
13:11for the merchants
13:13to be able
13:15to sell their goods
13:17at a lower price
13:19than the price
13:21that the merchants
13:23are willing to pay
13:25for their goods.
13:27This is also the battle
13:29of the Finaxiport
13:31between the two entities
13:33envisaging minimizing the costs
13:35and fighting efficiently
13:37against surcharges,
13:39points that will
13:41make it possible
13:43for the merchants
13:45to be able
13:47to sell their goods
13:49at a lower price
13:51than the price
13:53that the merchants
13:55are willing to pay
13:57for their goods.
13:59Slam is a mix
14:01of rhythmic poetry
14:03focused on sharing and freedom of opinion.
14:05For the public,
14:07the message on environmental
14:09issues will seem
14:11much easier to assimilate
14:13compared to classical speech.
14:15We like art more,
14:17we like poetry more, we like slam a lot.
14:19If we take advantage of slam
14:21to pass ecological messages,
14:23of course it will pass
14:25immediately because people will
14:27understand the message
14:29that is inside.
14:31But for the festival,
14:33awareness is not limited
14:35to simple words.
14:37And to reach the youngest,
14:39it is not enough to put
14:41your hand on your foot.
14:43In this boarding school
14:45in the Nigerian capital,
14:47it was necessary to join the useful
14:49with the pleasant through training
14:51and learning workshops
14:53on recycling plastic waste.
14:55They will still inherit
14:57these problems.
14:59So if they grow up with it,
15:01if they are aware of it,
15:03I think it can bring
15:05a change.
15:07Several panels,
15:09sessions of tree planting
15:11and shows were also part
15:13of this second edition
15:15of the Slam Ecolo Festival
15:17in the name of the channels
15:19of expression and exchange
15:21on the challenges related
15:23Let's go back to Tunisia
15:25where a few days apart
15:27from Eid al-Adha,
15:29an event where it will be necessary
15:31to pay more to make
15:33his sacrifice,
15:35an increase that worries
15:37many family members
15:39as our correspondent
15:41Najwa Bechat explains.
15:43In the middle of a vague
15:45land of the northern suburb
15:47of Tunis,
15:49converted into a cattle
15:51there is a question
15:53that hides a certain bitterness
15:55facing the high price of sheep
15:57equivalent to the full salary
15:59of an average Tunisian
16:01and three times the smig
16:03of a small stock exchange.
16:05The prices are very high.
16:07It is difficult to buy
16:09a sheep whose price exceeds
16:11a million.
16:13It is no longer possible to buy.
16:15It is too expensive.
16:17Here, at the headquarters
16:19the price of meat was
16:21completely different.
16:23The place was a theater
16:25of strong affluence.
16:27On the first day,
16:29the state started selling
16:31sheep at the price of 21 dinars
16:33per kilogram.
16:35Prices have increased considerably
16:37this year.
16:39There is an increase of 40%
16:41compared to last year.
16:43I bought this sheep
16:45for a million and a half
16:47This exceeds the salary
16:49of an employee.
16:51At these high prices,
16:53a simple daily worker
16:55cannot buy a sheep
16:57because it exceeds
16:59its financial means.
17:01It should be noted that Tunisia
17:03has been suffering for seven years
17:05from the effects of a drought
17:07that affected its water resources
17:09and its agriculture
17:11and led to an increase
17:13in the price of sheep.
