00:00We are still together on Mediantv. Thank you for staying loyal to us. Here are the titles
00:18of your newspaper.
00:19It is a step saluted by the United States. Moroccan medical aid sent by the Kingdom
00:26of Gaza has begun to be distributed. We are talking about it honestly.
00:31We are at J-3 of the presidential election in Mauritania. Seven candidates are on the
00:36list. Among them, the head of state who has been in power for five years. The election
00:41campaign ends this Thursday and the candidates, we will see, are still trying to shorten
00:46the voters' voices.
00:49State of emergency decreed in Kenya after violent demonstrations, repressed by the
00:54police. The street does not want to hear about the financial law concerning the increase
00:59in taxes.
01:02And right now, let's open our special file on the humanitarian operation of medical
01:07aid ordered by His Majesty the King Mohammed VI for the population of Gaza.
01:24Morocco is still on the side of Gaza. On the spot, the medical aid sent by the Kingdom
01:37of Gaza has begun to be distributed. An aid of 40 tons of medical products has been
01:43transported by land. The Al-Amal hospital, located in the south of the Palestinian enclave,
01:47received part of this donation yesterday. Suhail Jalil tells us about it.
01:52The medical aid ordered by the King Mohammed VI reaches the Al-Amal hospital in southern
01:57Gaza. It was composed of 40 tons of medical products, including devices for taking care
02:04of burns and surgical and traumatic emergencies, as well as first-need medicines, medical products
02:11that concern both adults and children below the age of 18. The initiative intervenes
02:16at a timely moment in order to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians who are going
02:21through a disastrous humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
02:25Aid that meets pressing needs in the face of the difficulties faced by hospitals, the
02:30Palestinian Red Crescent and the Ministry of Health in Palestine due to the siege imposed
02:35on Gaza and the shortage of medicines and medical equipment. A noble gesture once again
02:41the human values of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI. As a reminder, Moroccan aid has been
02:46carried out through the same unprecedented land route taken during the food aid operation
02:52deployed on instructions of the sovereign in the month of last Ramadan.
02:57A Moroccan medical aid that will do a lot of good to Gaza and this humanitarian operation
03:03is saluted by the American ambassador to Morocco, Puneet Salvar, whom I propose to listen to.
03:09I have to say that I have to commend the leadership of His Majesty and the Kingdom of Morocco
03:16for this extraordinary initiative. I also salute His Majesty for his generosity and his contribution
03:23to save as many lives as possible in Gaza. The moment when this initiative occurs is
03:30in fact very important.
03:32As we all know, unfortunately, this aid is desperately needed.
03:40Many civilians in Gaza suffer enormously. Many Moroccans and Americans sympathize with them.
03:48We do everything we can to provide assistance to Gaza.
03:54And Morocco has been a leader in that effort.
03:59And in this sense, Morocco is a model for humanitarian dedication.
04:08Zohair Lahna, Moroccan obstetrician surgeon at the Nasr Hospital in Khan Younes in Gaza,
04:14also salutes this royal initiative. Let's listen to him together.
04:19Hello, I am Dr. Zohair Lahna, Moroccan obstetrician surgeon at the Nasr Hospital in Khan Younes in Gaza.
04:29I have been here for a few days, for the third time during this war.
04:35The situation is unfair and unbalanced.
04:38Here, people have heard about the Moroccan aid of 40 tonnes,
04:48composed of medicines and medical equipment, especially to burn them.
04:56They are very happy with what they will be able to receive from the medicines,
05:04because in terms of emergencies, and even in terms of the operating room,
05:10we have a big problem, especially in terms of anesthesia,
05:14in terms of bandages, in terms of wires, in terms of emergencies,
05:20in terms of rapid consumption, because with the huge number of injured,
05:27and the very limited means, we are very quickly in great difficulty.
05:32So, this royal offering will do a lot of good to the people of Gaza.
05:40And of course, we thank the king of Morocco and the Moroccan people for this.
05:49As for the inhabitants, we find that the Moroccans are always with them,
05:54and every time I tell them that I am Moroccan, they are very happy.
05:59They start talking to me about Morocco, about the people, about the marches,
06:04sometimes about football, because it represents something for them,
06:09that all the peoples help them,
06:13no matter what they think about this unjust and murderous war machine.
06:22This closes this special file on the humanitarian operation of medical aid
06:27ordered by His Majesty King Mohammed VI for the people of Gaza.
06:32A Moroccan aid that arrives in Gaza in a context where the humanitarian situation
06:55in the Palestinian enclave is more than dramatic,
06:59the UN keeps ringing the alarm bell every day.
07:0910 children lose a leg or two.
07:12In addition, this figure, which has been cold in the back since the beginning of the war,
07:1621,000 children have been taken and disappeared.
07:19In Gaza, the latest human count is 37,718 dead.
07:25In this context, the United States warns of the disastrous consequences
07:31that will result in a new conflict between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
07:36Washington calls for a diplomatic solution,
07:39a position expressed by the US Defense Minister,
07:43Lloyd Hastings, when he received his Israeli counterpart at the Pentagon,
07:48Yoav Galant, who was also received by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken,
07:53who called on Israel to avoid a new escalation in Lebanon.
08:04In the rest of the news, there is the situation in the camps of Tindouf,
08:08which exasperates human rights defenders.
08:11Under the auspices of the Geneva International Observatory for Peace,
08:15Democracy and Human Rights,
08:18they urgently called on the United Nations to lift the siege
08:22and access to the camps of Tindouf in southwestern Algeria.
08:26For them, the leaders of the Polisario
08:29manage the camps in the place of the country,
08:32high up in Algeria, in violation of international law
08:36and in the absence of observation and international control.
08:45We are at J-3 of the presidential election in Mauritania.
08:49Seven candidates are in the running.
08:52Among them, the Chief of State, Mohamed Ould Razouani,
08:56who has been in power for five years.
08:59The election campaign takes place this Thursday
09:02and the candidates are trying to court the opposition.
09:05The opposition is the opposition of the French government,
09:08which has been in power for five years.
09:11The election campaign takes place this Thursday
09:14and the candidates are trying to court the opposition.
09:17In Nouakchott, the images of Sidi Mohamed Chamad
09:20are commented by Cheyma Fekri.
09:23Three days before the presidential election,
09:26the competition between the candidates intensifies.
09:29They resort to social networks for this election campaign.
09:32The objective is to reach as many voters as possible,
09:35especially young people who use these platforms massively.
09:38Some social media accounts have been created
09:41to break the monotony of this campaign
09:44by addressing popular issues
09:47that are particularly popular on these platforms.
09:54They run the campaigns in the different regions of Mauritania,
09:57opt for innovative methods and use several channels
10:00in the face of fierce competition.
10:03All means are good for the candidates
10:07If most of the candidates resort to social networks
10:10to share their election campaign
10:13and attract as many voters as possible,
10:16it is mainly because of the speed of these platforms
10:19that can reach a large number of people instantly.
10:22Among the main issues of this campaign,
10:25are economic issues, infrastructure,
10:28job creation, investment promotion
10:31and development in all its dimensions.
10:34These issues are widely debated.
10:37Others relate to social issues and are related to women,
10:40youth and education, justice and administrative reform.
10:43So many issues at the heart of the concerns of the candidates
10:46who shared their vision with the electorate.
10:51In Kenya, the state of emergency was decreed yesterday
10:54following the violent riots.
10:57Still in force, the project of the financial law
11:00that ignited the streets of Nairobi remains maintained
11:03following the announcement of new protests on Thursday.
11:06The state has hardened its tone.
11:09A violent mobilization was repressed yesterday by the police.
11:1222 people were killed, according to the president
11:15of the official human rights organization,
11:18the Kenyan National Human Rights Commission.
11:21President William Ruto has shown his firmness
11:24by committing to firmly repress violence and anarchy.
11:27In this context, the UN Secretary-General
11:30said he was deeply concerned
11:33by the violence in Kenya.
11:36António Guterres, saddened by the information
11:39about the state of the dead and the injured,
11:42called for calm.
11:45Back in the Kingdom,
11:48where the examinations of the spring session
11:51of the faculties of medicine and pharmacy
11:54that started this morning
11:57were widely boycotted in Rabat.
12:00We see it on these images.
12:03Despite the latest government proposals,
12:06during a meeting held last Friday,
12:09the government, which assumes full responsibility
12:12to guarantee the quality of training in medicine in the Kingdom,
12:15has called on all parties,
12:18including students, their parents and their tutors
12:21to take full responsibility in this matter.
12:28We stay in Morocco.
12:31The Minister of Urbanism, Habitat and Politics
12:34of the city was yesterday in front of the Chamber of Counsellors,
12:37Fatima Ezra El Mansouri,
12:40who will conclude with the Bidonvilles.
12:43She has made several progress in this matter.
12:46For her, the living conditions of 347,000 families
12:50have been improved thanks to the Bidonvilles program.
12:53Since its launch,
12:56that is 74% of the total number of 465,000 families concerned.
13:03Still in front of the Chamber of Counsellors,
13:06Fatima Ezra El Mansouri
13:09has come back to the Direct Housing Program,
13:12whose number of beneficiaries has increased to 15,194
13:15to date, with the number of applications
13:18reaching 80,000.
13:2120% of these applications are submitted
13:24by Moroccans living abroad.
13:27Now to Casablanca,
13:30where the Court of Auditors of the Kingdom
13:33held a meeting yesterday
13:36for the signing of the statutes
13:39of the International Organization of Higher Financial Control Institutions.
13:42The meeting was held in collaboration
13:45with the Forum of Higher Financial Control Institutions
13:48and the International Organization of Higher Financial Control
13:51in the presence of two presidents
13:54and representatives of the Higher Financial Control Institutions
13:57of Africa, Europe, Asia
14:00and Latin America.
14:03Pierre Moscovici, First President of the Court of Auditors of the Kingdom
14:06will speak about the importance of this meeting.
14:09Let's listen to him.
14:12For me, it is important and decisive
14:15that it takes place in Morocco,
14:18because the Court of Auditors of Morocco, with its president,
14:21was among the initiators of this project.
14:24It carried it, and today it bears its fruits.
14:27It is important that we are able to meet again
14:30because you know that today in the world
14:33democracy is threatened.
14:36In this dangerous and difficult world,
14:39we have fundamental rights.
14:42He landed on his native land after his release.
14:45Julian Assange arrived today in Australia
14:48the most famous whistleblower, founder of Wikileaks
14:51and therefore free after the agreement
14:54concluded with the American justice
14:57and which brings me to more than a decade
15:00of judicial and media saga.
15:03The American journalist
15:06Ivan Gershkovich, detained in Russia
15:09for 15 months for accusations
15:12has been compared to him today
15:15in front of the Dekat Tribunal in Loural
15:18for the first day of his trial
15:21which is held in Uyghur,
15:24interpellated in March 2023 by the Russian security services.
15:27He is accused of espionage by Moscow,
15:30accusation that he always rejects.
15:34In France, four days after the first legislative round,
15:37the candidates of the three main blocs dramatize
15:40the issues of a scrutiny presented as historical
15:43and which could see the far-right come to power.
15:46Yesterday, the leader of the far-right, Jordan Bardella
15:49and the Prime Minister Macroniste, Gabriel Attal
15:52and the representative of the left alliance, Manuel Bompard
15:55faced each other in a tense debate
15:58which above all illustrated Bardella's confidence
16:02in the victory of his camp, largely at the head of the polls.
16:05The representative of the left, Manuel Bompard, called him
16:08the French have, I quote, prevented that fear becomes a reality
16:11and make France not abound in racism,
16:14hatred, each for himself.
16:17Finally, the Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal,
16:20has pursued the strategy of President Emmanuel Macron
16:23since the announcement of the dissolution on June 9
16:26of the Parliament, sending his opponents back to back
16:29and presenting themselves as a remnant.
16:35Now let's go to Tunisia, where the constitutional
16:38controversy continues due to the delay
16:41in the revision of the electoral law,
16:44the approach of the presidential election,
16:47the specialized organizations in the observation
16:50of the elections have called for the elaboration
16:53of a legislative framework compatible with the conditions
16:56in the new constitution.
17:01The Tunisian presidential election should be held
17:04in October, but many uncertainties still
17:07hover over its organization due to
17:10contradictions between the 2022 constitution
17:13and the electoral law. This situation
17:16has pushed the specialized organizations in the observation
17:19of the elections to demand the publication
17:22of a legislative framework.
17:26There are new conditions related to age
17:29and nationality that are not compatible
17:32with the electoral law. As a result,
17:35the electoral law must be revised to conform
17:38to the new conditions.
17:41We have been calling for a revision
17:44of the electoral law for some time, a process
17:47that was supposed to take place a year ago.
17:50It seems that the ISI will publish provisions
17:53that are unacceptable. We have a fundamental law
17:56that governs the elections. As an organization,
17:59we recommend the need to quickly
18:02determine the calendar of presidential elections.
18:07To modify the electoral law and make it compatible
18:10with certain provisions of the constitution,
18:13a process that could have been started earlier
18:16according to the constitutionalists.
18:19For its part, the ISI claimed that it was waiting
18:22for the decree calling the Tunisians to vote.
18:25A decree that the ISI must publish
18:28three months before the end of its mandate,
18:31i.e. on July 23, to start the electoral review.
18:38Today we are confronted with an unconstitutional
18:41electoral law, whose conditions are incompatible
18:44with the constitutional conditions.
18:47As for the Supreme Independent Institute for Elections,
18:50it has only regulatory power.
18:53It cannot correct or fill the gaps
18:56of the electoral law.
18:59It cannot take legal action.
19:02Note that at the beginning of this month,
19:05the Tunisian president received the president of the ISI
19:08to order him to apply the provisions
19:11of article 89 of the constitution,
19:14which sets the conditions of candidacy
19:18and lists the sanctions and penalties
19:21in case of non-compliance with the law.
19:24This article stipulates that the candidate must be
19:27at least 40 years of age and enjoy
19:30his civil and political rights.
19:36We take the direction of Senegal,
19:39where new cases of Covid have been detected.
19:42Many pilgrims have returned from infected Mecca.
19:46Social action has been intensified to prevent
19:49a new spread of the disease.
19:55Two cases of coronavirus have been detected
19:58among the first pilgrims returning from Mecca.
20:02The first analysis of the first pilgrims
20:05on a sample of 124 cases
20:09shows that 78 cases have been tested positive
20:12for rapid diagnostic tests,
20:15which have been confirmed by PCR
20:18around 36.
20:21So it's really around 36 on these cases
20:24that have been confirmed positive
20:27for rapid diagnostic tests.
20:30So it's really around 36 on these cases
20:33that have been confirmed positive
20:36for rapid diagnostic tests,
20:39which have been confirmed positive.
20:42As usual, religious ceremonies are organized
20:45by families to welcome their parents
20:48or relatives who have returned from Islam.
20:51This woman, informed of the reappearance of Covid-19,
20:54calls for respect for sanitary measures.
20:57I ask people to have hygiene,
21:00to wash their hands all the time
21:03and also, for those who were in Mecca,
21:06to be careful, to avoid gatherings
21:09and to respect sanitary measures.
21:13For them, there is no need to worry
21:16according to the General Direction of Prevention,
21:19but they are invested in prevention
21:22and respect for preventive measures against this disease.
21:25We organize what we call the ganale,
21:28to say that if we know we are sick,
21:31it is better.
21:34But if we have to do it,
21:37try to take all the necessary precautions.
21:40And also, if there are people who are symptomatic
21:43and have major signs,
21:46to go to the health structures
21:49to be taken care of appropriately,
21:52because we must not forget that Covid-19 can still be deadly.
21:55The Ministry of Health and Social Action
21:58has reinforced its sanitary monitoring system
22:01at the border by setting up
22:04at the airport in Ibede
22:07a volunteer screening team for symptoms of flu syndrome
22:10of pilgrims returning from holy places of Islam.
22:13This is to avoid a new health crisis
22:16linked to the Covid-19 pandemic in Senegal.
22:22We are back in the Kingdom
22:25in front of the Sidi Bouraba Reserve
22:28near the city of Kenitra.
22:31It is home to many plant and animal species.
22:34This ecological space plays a key role
22:37in the preservation of the biodiversity of the region.
22:40This is a report from Marwa Ben Halima,
22:43UNESMISSURI and Chema Fekri.
22:46It is one of the most important natural reserves
22:49in the Kingdom of Morocco.
22:52It is characterized by its unique biodiversity.
22:58The Sidi Bouraba Reserve
23:01extends over an area of approximately 650 hectares,
23:04in the middle of which there is a lake
23:076 km long, 300 m wide,
23:10and a depth that varies between 20 cm and 2 m.
23:13This reserve has been registered since 1980
23:16on the Ramsar site.
23:19It is a privileged zone for migratory birds
23:22between Africa and Europe.
23:25Given the climate change,
23:28the reserve is facing important environmental challenges.
23:31These threaten its ecological balance
23:34as well as its biodiversity.
23:37The Sidi Bouraba Reserve is also affected
23:40by the rise in temperatures
23:43and the modification of different types of rainfall.
23:46The pollution caused by human activities
23:49is a serious threat to the quality of the soil
23:52and the quality of the water.
24:00This ecological space is visited by 600,000 visitors.
24:03These visits pollute this place,
24:06which affects the beauty of the region.
24:09As a member of civil society,
24:12we must work even more on raising awareness on this subject.
24:17The preservation of this oasis
24:20requires the effective and sustainable contribution
24:23of various stakeholders.
24:26This commitment promotes the balance between development
24:29and the preservation of the environment
24:32through various programs and projects of awareness and education.
24:35This is the end of this news report.
24:38Thank you for following it.
24:46Thank you for watching it.
