00:00Hello everyone, welcome to Median TV, here is your international press report.
00:10Saudi Arabia announces the death of 1,301 pilgrims during the Hajj, which was completed last week,
00:16informs us Al Arabiya News this morning.
00:18In an official statement to state television, the Saudi Minister of Health, Fahd Al-Jalajil,
00:24stated that 83% of the deceased were pilgrims who had taken the trip without the necessary permits,
00:30before specifying that these unauthorized pilgrims had walked a long distance under a leaden sun.
00:35We have dealt with a large number of people suffering from thermal stress,
00:39before stating that the identity of the deceased had been verified
00:43and that they had been respectfully buried and honored in Mecca.
00:47The minister stated that the kingdom had provided about 1.3 million preventive services to pilgrims.
00:52The information portal, meanwhile, added that the authorities had also provided more than 465,000 treatment services,
00:58including 141,000 for those who did not have permission for the Hajj.
01:06The Moscow Times quoted this morning the attack of several places of worship in the Russian Republic of Dagestan,
01:11killing and injuring several people.
01:13Unknown assailants attacked Orthodox churches and synagogues,
01:17killing at least eight police officers and national guards, as well as a priest.
01:20Unidentified armed men launched simultaneous attacks in the largest city of Dagestan,
01:25the capital of Marashkala, in the coastal city of Derbent.
01:28The independent Russian daily reports that criminal investigations had been opened for terrorist acts in Dagestan,
01:34a Russian region with a Muslim majority, next to Chechnya, the Moscow Times says.
01:39On its part, the National Anti-Terrorist Committee has set up an anti-terrorist regime in Dagestan,
01:43while Magomed Omarov, the head of the Sargokalinsky district in Dagestan,
01:48whose sons would have participated in the attacks, was arrested,
01:51the state press agencies reported, citing local law enforcement.
01:57After the Equator, last week, Ukraine also suffered power outages at the national level,
02:02but the reasons are totally different for the rest of Europe.
02:05Indeed, the Guardian claims that Russia would be at the origin of this huge power outage.
02:09For the British daily, the renewed assault on Moscow on the energy network
02:13has created a critical situation in the country.
02:16Vladimir Zelensky said this month that Russia had damaged or destroyed
02:20more than half of Ukraine's electricity production,
02:23causing power outages.
02:25Since the total invasion of 2022, the Ukrainian president has had the opportunity
02:29to exhort the Western allies of Ukraine last Saturday
02:32to accelerate deliveries of air defense systems
02:35in order to be able to respond to the assaults of the Russian army.
02:38Until these deliveries arrive,
02:40we expect systematic attacks on electric infrastructures to continue,
02:44forcing Kiev's inhabitants to improvise,
02:47says the Guardian in its columns.
02:51In France now, the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron,
02:54addresses his people via a letter to the French published in the regional daily press.
02:58Le Midi Libre reveals the document in its entirety
03:02a week after the first round of anticipated legislative elections,
03:06in which the French leader says he is ready to change,
03:08while presenting his camp as the only rampart against the extremes,
03:11as he has been saying since his dissolution of the National Assembly at the beginning of the month.
03:15By calling for a third vote, his,
03:18a majority to protect the values of the Republic,
03:20the head of state sends back to back the National Assembly
03:23and the new Popular Front,
03:25which he is trying to discredit.
03:27Finally, Macron recognizes the fracture between the people and those who run the country,
03:32which must generate, according to him, a profound change in the way of governing.
03:36This election is ours, it is you who will do it,
03:39so don't be afraid, don't give up,
03:41vote, choose respect, ambition and justice for our nation,
03:45we deserve it, France deserves it.
03:47With my confidence, the French President concludes in his letter.
03:52What if artificial intelligence became the favorite adjunct of football coaches?
03:56Le Courrier International takes the example of a study carried out by Google on corners.
04:00In a world where football is getting closer and closer to statistics and mathematics,
04:04artificial intelligence can take a place where the data is abundant,
04:08explains the hebdomadaire.
04:10Heart rate, average position, top speed,
04:13many are the figures used by technical staff to maximize performance and results.
04:17This is what Google DeepMind,
04:19a company specialized in artificial intelligence,
04:22tried to exploit alongside the Liverpool club.
04:24From raw and spatio-temporal data of players' follow-up,
04:27a software called Tactic.IA
04:30has allowed English clubs to study all possible and imaginable scenarios
04:34for corner kicks,
04:36to facilitate game reading of video analysts
04:39and allow them to find the best combinations
04:41in order to be effective in this field,
04:43especially for the high European level.
04:45For Zhihang, who works at Google DeepMind,
04:49shooting a corner presents similarities with chess.
04:52Le Courrier International adds that in both cases,
04:54opponents are positioned to react to an imminent movement,
04:58also because artificial intelligence could revolutionize each of these fields.
05:02This is how this international press conference ends.
05:05Thank you all for following it.
05:07The news continues on Mediantv.
