00:41American presidential, the television debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump
00:44has been overwhelming for my number of observers.
00:47The two men have launched an invective between legal debauchery and the question of immigration.
00:53You will have the reaction of Calvin Dark, American political analyst.
01:00Kizili is the name of the project of phase 6 launched in Mali by Catholic Relief Service and USAID

01:08An envelope of 17 million dollars will be implemented in two years.
01:12We meet again right now for the development.
01:17Welcome ladies and gentlemen.
01:18Before developing these headlines, know that this Friday, His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
01:23Amiral Muminine, President of the Superior Committee of the Ulema,
01:27wanted to give these high directives to the 10 councils to examine certain questions
01:33contained in the proposals of the institution in charge of the revision of the family code
01:38referring to the principles and precepts of the holy religion of Islam
01:43and its tolerant drawings.
01:45And to submit a fatwa to their subject and to the high appreciation of the sovereign,
01:50considering that some proposals are related to religious texts,
01:55the sovereign decided to seize the Superior Council of the Ulema,
01:59which is, according to Article 41 of the Constitution,
02:02the only institution able to pronounce the fatwas officially agreed.
02:07The sovereign also invited the Superior Council of the Ulema
02:11to take into account in the elaboration of its fatwa the content of the royal letter
02:16addressed to Mr. the head of the government,
02:19which calls for the adoption of the virtues of moderation and jihad,
02:24open and constructive, while taking into consideration the norm
02:29once taken by His Majesty the King,
02:31according to which one cannot authorize what is prohibited,
02:35nor forbid what is allowed.
02:38Present in Berlin to talk about diplomacy
02:42on the occasion of the signing between Morocco and Germany
02:46of a cooperation agreement in the economic and social areas,
02:50the Minister of Foreign Affairs of African Cooperation
02:54and Moroccans living abroad, Nasser Bourita,
02:57met with Svenza Schulze, German Federal Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development.
03:04An interview that focused on ways to develop trade and investments
03:09and to cooperate on climate policies, biodiversity and green energy solutions.
03:16Let's listen together to the German Federal Minister of Economic Cooperation and Development.
03:25We are pleased with the partnership between Morocco and Germany in the field of energy.
03:30Our goal is to promote the production of hydrogen in Morocco
03:34and its transition to Europe through Germany.
03:39We wish that this collaboration takes place in a fair way
03:42in order to create jobs and income for Morocco,
03:46while meeting the needs of hydrogen in Germany.
03:51This Friday in Casablanca, the work of the 7th edition of the
03:56International African Development Forum,
03:59organized at the initiative of the African Development Club
04:02of the Atiyah Diwaf Bank Group,
04:04in partnership with the Pan-African Al-Mada Foundation,
04:082,000 business leaders and political decision-makers from 30 countries of the continent.
04:13They are taking part.
04:14In this regard, let's listen to Emmanuelle Diop.
04:16She is the General Director-General in charge of the exploitation
04:20of the economic community of the states of West Africa.
04:24We are delighted to take part in this 7th edition of the International African Development Forum
04:29with a strong delegation, both officials and clients.
04:33We are here at the PIX booth to present the key projects of Senegal.
04:37The Senegal Investment Promotion Agency is accompanying us,
04:40as well as the Caisse des Dépôts and the Senegalese sovereign fund,
04:43and a delegation of about a hundred clients
04:45who are taking part in this FIAD over the two days in Casablanca,
04:49in order to have exchanges on the opportunities of trading on the continent.
04:56In the United States, Joe Biden has declared that he is well out of the debate yesterday
05:01against Donald Trump,
05:02while the reactions of the President to the Democrats are much more mixed up than in his camp.
05:09In front of the cameras of the CNN channel,
05:12the organizer of the debate, the 81-year-old man,
05:15has often accused his opponent of lying
05:19by claiming that illegal immigration was causing crime
05:23and by declaring that his opponent, Donald Trump,
05:26was taken to justice after his conviction in a payment case
05:31concealed from an ex-film actress.
05:34For his part, Donald Trump told him that the war in Ukraine
05:38would never have taken place with him in power,
05:41assuring that his rival was doing bad work despite the robust growth
05:45and employment in Bofixa.
05:50The two candidates for the US presidential election
05:53therefore delivered an acerbic exchange of accusations
05:56during their first television debate yesterday on CNN.
05:59Calvin Darke, an American political analyst,
06:02returns to the strong times of the Trump-Biden duel.
06:06For the debate tonight here in the United States,
06:09Joe Biden had only one mission.
06:12It was to demonstrate in front of the American people
06:15the choice between him, a stable president for democracy,
06:20and the alternative to former President Trump.
06:24And Biden, unfortunately, has failed that mission.
06:29His answers were weak.
06:32He did not respond to Donald Trump's lies.
06:36He did not speak well of what he had accomplished
06:40during the first term,
06:42and it was not clear exactly what he was going to do
06:45in a second term.
06:48Donald Trump, he was as always,
06:51but he had a little discipline.
06:53But alongside Biden, who had very, very weak moments,
06:59it was clear that Donald Trump had won the debate.
07:03Now there are conversations among the leaders of the Democratic Party.
07:08Of course, what is going to happen?
07:11Are we going to replace our candidate,
07:15the candidate for the Democratic Party?
07:18I say that these discussions are unprecedented.
07:22There is not really a way to change a candidate,
07:29but there will be a lot of discussions in the coming weeks
07:33before there is a change, if there is a change.
07:38But what is clear is that the choice we have here in the United States
07:42between two presidents,
07:45a current president and a former president,
07:49both with communication problems in their messages,
07:53the choice is clear,
07:56and it is not the choice that pleases the majority of voters here in the United States.
08:01As for the subject they addressed,
08:05they addressed the economy, immigration,
08:08but again, Trump did not really have solutions,
08:13proposals,
08:15and what Biden had said, it was difficult to follow,
08:20but there were moments, especially in the conversation about abortion,
08:25he made the distinction between Trump and the current situation
08:31thanks to Trump and the efforts of his administration, Biden,
08:36to fix and change what Trump did for abortion.
08:41But I also believe in the subject of the war in Gaza.
08:48They did not talk much.
08:51Unfortunately, in my personal opinion,
08:54when former President Trump used the word Palestinian as an insult to Joe Biden,
09:02it was not a strong moment for me in the debate,
09:06and it was even worse, in my opinion,
09:10that Biden did not correct anything after the insult of the word Palestinian.
09:16So we will continue with the campaign here in the United States, of course.
09:21Tomorrow there will be very high-level discussions,
09:24but I believe that now Biden said after the debate that he thinks he did well,
09:31but after the analysis, I think that maybe he will have a slightly different perspective.
10:01Thank you very much.
10:32In Tehran, several posters of candidates for the Iranian presidential election
10:36cover the facades of the different buildings of the capital.
10:39More than 61 million citizens are called this Friday
10:43to elect the successor of President Ibrahim Raisi,
10:46who died in a helicopter crash in May.
10:48After the withdrawal of Ali Reza Zakeni and Amir Hussein Ghaziza Dehashimi,
10:52the competition remains between four candidates in the list for this presidential election.
10:56Under their electoral programs, they manage international sanctions,
11:00the economy and the status of women.
11:03Among these four candidates stands only one reformer,
11:06Massoud Bezechkian, the oldest of these candidates,
11:09supported by former President Hassan Rouhani and former President Mohamed Khatami.
11:13This year, he must hope for strong participation in order to be able to win the election,
11:18unlike the presidential election of 2021.
11:21In 2022, after the demonstrations that followed the death of Mesha Amini,
11:25several women were arrested because of their appearance in public without a hijab.
11:29Bezechkian then defended them.
11:32I promise to put an end to the unfair treatment
11:38that our daughters, our sisters and our mothers
11:41are subjected to in the streets by the death police.
11:43I will prevent them from doing so.
11:47From the war in Gaza, through the nuclear issue,
11:50the presidential election of the Islamic Republic is held this year in a delicate context.
11:55Initially planned in 2025,
11:57its main issue is the level of abstention that had reached more than 50% two years ago,
12:02a new record since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
12:06However, it should be noted that the impact of this election
12:09on the strategic direction of Iran remains marginal.
12:12The real power, remaining in the hands of the supreme leader Ali Khamenei,
12:16has been in office for 35 years.
12:19We now move on to our special file on the legislative elections in France.
12:34The French campaign of the first round of legislative elections ends today at midnight.
12:40All polls give a very comfortable lead to the National Assembly,
12:45reinforced by the France des Républicains, allied to Éric Ciotti.
12:49The far-right party is credited with 36% of the vote.
12:53The left, united under the banner of the new Popular Front,
12:57remains spaced between 27.5% and 29%,
13:01while the Macronist majority is relegated between 19.5% and 21%.
13:09Thousands of people gathered yesterday in Paris against the far-right
13:14in the first round of the three-day legislative elections,
13:18of which the National Assembly is largely favoured.
13:22Contestation movements have also gathered a few hundred people
13:26in Lille, Marseille and Rennes.
13:29As a reminder, since June 9th,
13:31several demonstrations of the kind against the far-right have taken place.
13:39The French campaign of the first round of legislative elections ends today at midnight.
13:43All polls give a very comfortable lead to the National Assembly,
13:46aligned with the France des Républicains, allied to Éric Ciotti.
13:49African news leads us to Mali,
13:51in order to bring help to the vulnerable populations
13:54wherever the need arises.
13:57Catholic Relief Services and USAID have just launched
14:00phase 6 of their project, called Kizili,
14:04with an envelope of 17 million dollars.
14:07This project will be implemented in two years.
14:10More details with our correspondent, Mohamed Agnoko.
14:13After five phases, Catholic Relief Services has just launched
14:17the Kizili 6 project, funded by USAID.
14:21This new phase is part of the same dynamic as the previous five,
14:25which has led to 269 quick responses
14:29in favour of 96,323 households,
14:32or 604,948 people affected by the security crisis in Mali.
14:38This is an emergency response project,
14:41mainly in support of internally displaced people.
14:45We provide them with shelters,
14:48food security assistance,
14:52hygiene kits, water and sanitation.
14:56This is really an emergency response project
15:01in different regions.
15:03This is an emergency response project
15:05that will last for two years
15:07in favour of internally displaced people
15:09because of the security situation.
15:11It is funded by the US government
15:13through USAID,
15:15worth 17 million dollars,
15:17or more than 10 billion francs CFA.
15:20For USAID,
15:23one of the elements that must be taken into account
15:28in a very strong, structured and organised way
15:34is how we can not only strengthen,
15:38but use the capacities that already exist in the country.
15:44In addition to representatives and beneficiaries,
15:46the Malian government,
15:48through the Ministry of Health and Social Development,
15:51has praised the remarkable work of the CRS in Mali,
15:54since 1999.
15:57In Mali since 1999,
16:00CRS Mali has been, is and will remain
16:04a determining factor in the assistance,
16:07support and support of the most affected communities
16:11by the humanitarian crisis in our country.
16:14Started in 2016,
16:16to date, nearly 20 billion francs CFA
16:19have been mobilised
16:21and have saved millions of lives in Mali.
16:26In a few weeks,
16:28the Olympic Games Paris 2024 will begin.
16:31Before this important sporting event,
16:34the President of the Olympic Committee of Ivory Coast
16:37has exchanged with the media
16:39about the preparations of the athletes
16:41and the support of the government.
16:43Hippolydie and Ange-Wilfrid Mérignat
16:45give us the countdown.
16:47The Ivory Coast will be well represented
16:49at the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
16:51Several athletes will defend the colour of the country
16:53at this competition,
16:55including those in several disciplines,
16:57including taekwondo,
16:59which has three athletes in ice,
17:01six in athletics,
17:03two in extreme,
17:05and one in judo,
17:07while waiting for the results of certain sports.
17:09During a meeting in Abidjan,
17:11the Ivorian economic capital,
17:13in the presence of certain athletes,
17:15the President of the Olympic Committee
17:17has given his opinion on the participation
17:19of these young people
17:21The international competitions
17:23are supported by the state,
17:25and the Olympic Committee
17:27provides scholarships,
17:29the scholarships of the Olympic Committee
17:31and the scholarships of the ACNOA.
17:33This is all that allows the athletes to prepare.
17:35The Ivorian athletes will not be left out in France
17:37in terms of the presence of their compatriots
17:39on the territory.
17:41From the 1st to the 17th of July,
17:43a camp will be put at their disposal
17:45to complete the preparation.
17:47A few weeks after this important meeting,
17:49the Ivorian athletes are proud to represent their country
17:51and ready to bring back medals to the Ivory Coast.
17:53We prepare for the Olympic Games
17:55with a lot of serenity,
17:57with a lot of confidence,
17:59and the preparation is going very well.
18:01We cross our fingers that it continues like this,
18:03avoiding any injury.
18:05The Games are in two months,
18:07we continue the preparation
18:09and we hope to represent
18:11the Ivory Coast with dignity.
18:13The scrims, the good thing,
18:15are on a single day.
18:17It's super simple,
18:19because if on the day of the competition
18:21we feel good and we are good,
18:23we can really go and get the title.
18:25Even if I know that today
18:27I'm not necessarily one of the favorites,
18:29I'm not going there just to have fun.
18:31I arrived at the Olympic Games
18:338 years ago with my father,
18:35and today,
18:37being there,
18:39it's really a dream that becomes a reality.
18:41So it's really a pride for me
18:43to represent
18:45the white-white-black flag.
18:47Paris welcomes the Olympic Games
18:49from July 26 to July 11.
18:51The moment will also be an opportunity
18:53to promote Ivorian culture.
18:57Back in the kingdom,
18:59placed under the patronage of His Majesty
19:01the King Mohammed VI,
