00:00This is L'Heure du Journal, welcome to Medien TV, here are the headlines.
00:17In Morocco, the Ministry of Habus and Islamic Affairs informs citizens who have filed an
00:24application for registration to attend the pilgrimage on the occasion of the year 1446
00:29of the Egypt that the draw for determining the final list will take place on Monday 8th
00:34to Friday 19th July 2024.
00:37In the Middle East, hundreds of Palestinians are forced to flee again the city of Ranyounes
00:46in the Gaza Strip, targeted this Tuesday morning by several Israeli strikes after the order
00:52to evacuate was given by the Israeli army.
00:55In Mauritania, President-elect Mohamed Ouled Cheikh al-Rezouadi was re-elected for a second
01:08term with 56.12% of the votes, an announcement made by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
01:18And right now, our special file on the legislative elections in France.
01:36The French voted massively on Sunday in the first round of the legislative elections,
01:41without much surprise.
01:43The National Assembly has arrived largely ahead of the anticipated elections with a
01:47participation rate of 66.71%.
01:55A new record is being recorded for the benefit of the National Assembly.
01:59With more than 33% of the votes and 10.6 million votes, the National Assembly and its allies
02:05get their best score in the first round of the legislative elections.
02:0939 candidates are thus elected.
02:12Marine Le Pen, Sébastien Chénuet and Julien Aoudoul are among the list.
02:16The new popular front is positioned in second place, thus obtaining nearly 28% of the votes.
02:23The party already has 32 elected.
02:25The French president's poker move earned him third place with only 20% of the votes.
02:31It's a defeat.
02:33It's a defeat for our majority.
02:35It's a defeat for our camp.
02:37It's a historic moment for the political forces in our country.
02:43It fills me with a lot of sadness.
02:45A lot of sadness because I see millions of voters who know perfectly well that the National Assembly
02:52is a danger for our nation.
02:54It does not provide any necessary answers to the questions of our compatriots.
02:59Today, the real risk is to see the National Assembly arrive with an absolute majority next Sunday.
03:07Faced with this chaotic political situation, France is faced with two scenarios.
03:12Emmanuel Macron could be opposed to an unprecedented cohabitation with the far right.
03:17But the scenario of a blocked National Assembly,
03:20without an envisageable majority alliance among the three blocs present,
03:24remains a possibility.
03:26Negotiations for a dam are therefore being organized for the second round.
03:30The lesson of this evening is that the far right is at the door of power.
03:35In our democracy, the National Assembly has never risked being dominated by the far right.
03:42And so, our goal is clear.
03:45To prevent the National Assembly from having an absolute majority in the second round,
03:50to dominate the National Assembly,
03:52and therefore to govern the country with the funest project that is its own.
03:57Not a single vote should go to the National Assembly.
04:01In such circumstances, France deserves that we do not hesitate.
04:06Never.
04:07If we want to be up to the French destiny,
04:10it is our moral duty to do everything to prevent the worst from happening.
04:16The French Prime Minister has also confirmed that party candidates together
04:21would be forced to give up when they are in third position
04:25in circumstances where the National Assembly is in the lead.
04:28Several party candidates have already announced their resignation.
04:32Jean-Luc Mélenchon, in turn, announced that he would withdraw the candidacy
04:36in circumstances where France Insoumise is in third position
04:41and where the National Assembly is in the lead.
04:43The far right, it, asked the French to give it next Sunday an absolute majority in the second round.
04:49A scenario that will be one of the most decisive in the history of the 5th French Republic,
04:54founded in 1958.
04:56And if Jordan Bardella became Prime Minister,
04:59it would be the first time that a government from the far right
05:03would lead France since the Second World War.
05:09It is time for the negotiations to face the rise of the far right,
05:14as explained to us by our special envoy in Paris, Bassam Njal.
05:19We are right now in front of the Palace of the Elysée
05:22where President Emmanuel Macron spent the last hours in consultation with his teams
05:27to try to find a strategy to counter the rise of the far right
05:32during these legislative elections.
05:35Macron, who asked that each circumstance be studied
05:40to find alliances, including with the left against the National Assembly.
05:45Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who clearly said
05:48that not a single vote should go to the National Assembly on his behalf.
05:53Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of the new Popular Front,
05:57said yesterday that the results recorded during this first round
06:01represented a defeat of President Macron.
06:04Mélenchon, who also called the candidates of his party,
06:07who finished third in this first round,
06:10to withdraw in favour of the other candidates of the other parties
06:16to put an end to the far right.
06:19Marine Le Pen, the president of the National Assembly,
06:22who thanked yesterday the supporters of her party for the score recorded during this first round,
06:28said that the objective now is to obtain the absolute majority during the second round.
06:35Next Sunday, the same wish of Jordan Bardella,
06:38who added that in case of victory of his party,
06:41he will be the Prime Minister of all the French people.
06:45Let's just recall the definitive results published by the Ministry of the Interior this night.
06:51The National Assembly, which obtained 33.14% of the votes,
06:55the new Popular Front, 27.99%,
06:59the majority of the government, obtained 20.76%.
07:05Let's just recall that 305 circumscriptions
07:08will be concerned by triangles during the second round.
07:12Next Sunday, a record in the history of these legislative elections.
07:18A rise of the far right clearly confirmed in France during these anticipated legislations.
07:24According to Zakaria Abouddah, professor of international relations,
07:28what emerges from this unprecedented scrutiny in the Hexagon
07:32is also the division of the presidential majority.
07:35Let's listen to his analysis.
07:37First of all, it is a trend that is confirmed after the European elections.
07:42We have seen a clear progression of the National Assembly,
07:47which ultimately constituted a kind of political surprise.
07:51But today, well yesterday, June 30, the trend is confirmed,
07:55or even a little more.
07:57Moreover, we see that there is a crack in the Macronist bloc,
08:02with a regression, if you will.
08:06And finally, it shows that the downward trend is confirmed.
08:11In relation to a Popular Front, the new Popular Front,
08:17led by Mr. Mélenchon, who tries to take advantage of the conjuncture
08:22to form majorities, sometimes I would say conjunctural.
08:26Maybe we will come back to this, because there is a certain technicality
08:29in relation to formulas that viewers must easily understand,
08:34especially what is called triangular,
08:36that is, alliances that can be led by a candidate
08:41even though he does not have a general ideological base,
08:45shared by several parties that decide to support him.
08:48So, presumably today, we are in a political turnaround, if you will,
08:54in relation to the French political life,
08:56but with regional implications.
08:59Maybe we will come back to this, but it is clear that today,
09:02the time of political turnaround has sounded, according to the French,
09:06but we still need a bit of hindsight, Madam.
09:09We need a bit of modesty, but also humility on the intellectual level,
09:14because we need hindsight on the level of sociological analysis,
09:18of political sociology, in a deep way.
09:20It must also be said that there are other ways that are being counted
09:23in the so-called overseas territories,
09:25and so finally, in a few hours,
09:28maybe we will have exactly clear the electoral political cartography
09:34of today's France at the end of the scrutiny of June 30, 2024.
09:40Obviously, we have to wait for the second round,
09:42soon on July 7th.
09:44And this concludes this special issue on the legislative elections in France.
10:01Let's talk about the presidential election in Mauritania.
10:05President-elect Mohamed Dawoud El-Sheikh El-Razouani
10:08was re-elected as soon as the first round for a second mandate,
10:12with 56.12% of the votes.
10:15This is what the National Independent Electoral Commission announced
10:18in front of the press.
10:20El-Razouani largely defends his main rival,
10:23the militant Biram Darabed,
10:25who obtains 22.10%.
10:27He has also announced since Sunday
10:29that he will not recognize the results
10:32of the National Independent Electoral Commission.
10:38In the Middle East, hundreds of Palestinians
10:41are forced to flee again.
10:43The city of Khan Younes in the Gaza Strip
10:46was targeted this morning by several Israeli strikes
10:49after the order to evacuate given by the Israeli army.
10:52Victims of Israeli bombing in Khan Younes
10:56and Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip.
10:58Eight people died and more than thirty injured
11:02arrived at the hospital in Nassau.
11:04In Nassau, in Khan Younes,
11:07Palestinian Red Crescent and a medical center
11:10were taken care of.
11:13The Israeli army ordered a new evacuation on Monday
11:16of the sectors of the governorates of Khan Younes and Rafah,
11:19where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians
11:22had already fled the fighting several weeks ago.
11:25Many residents had left these sectors,
11:28moved from the east of Khan Younes,
11:31among whom were children and elderly people
11:34sleeping on the streets and even on the ground.
11:41We are still in Gaza, where the situation is getting worse day by day.
11:45More than 37,900 Palestinian civilians
11:48have been killed in Israeli bombings since October 7.
11:53Many air strikes have targeted the city,
11:57as well as Rafah and Khan Younes.
12:00In the last 24 hours, at least 23 people have been killed.
12:04These figures add up to more than 87,000 injured Palestinians.
12:14In the United States, Donald Trump's criminal immunity
12:17is at the heart of the news.
12:19The Supreme American Court, the conservative majority,
12:22has sent back to the lower jurisdiction
12:25the decision to postpone the presidential election by four months.
12:30The federal trial in Washington
12:33of the former US president is a candidate
12:36by the voice of the six conservative judges
12:39against that of the three progressives.
12:42The court considers that the president has no immunity
12:45for his unofficial actions,
12:47but that he has the right to at least a presumption of immunity
12:50for his official actions.
12:52This decision is a great victory for our democracy.
12:56Our constitution reacted immediately to Donald Trump
12:59in the campaign for a return to the White House.
13:07President Gambia, Adama Baro,
13:10congratulated Monday in Banjul
13:12on the constant and precious support of His Majesty,
13:15King Mohammed VI of Gambia,

13:35to cooperate closely with Morocco
13:37in order to achieve common objectives
13:39for a prosperous, solidary and stable Africa.
13:41In this context, he highlighted the importance
13:44of support for development and education
13:47to face the current challenges.

18:03Initially planned on June 20,
18:05then for June 24,
18:07the total reopening
18:09of the border post between Libya
18:11and Tunisia,
18:13which has been reported
18:15several times,
18:17has finally taken place on Monday
18:19in the presence of the ministers
18:21of the Libyan and Tunisian interior,
18:23Nejo Pesha.
18:25The border post between Tunisia
18:27and Libya has finally reopened
18:29this Monday,
18:31after closing for more than three months
18:33to the great relief
18:35of the two countries.
18:39God willing,
18:41the passage is finally open
18:43after months of waiting.
18:47We consider the opening of the passage
18:49as a good indicator
18:51and we hope that trade
18:53between the two countries
18:55will resume.
18:57You know that we lack
18:59job opportunities in Tunisia
19:01and that the closure of the passage
19:03will be used
19:05financially and psychologically.
19:07The reopening of the border post
19:09took place in the presence
19:11of the minister of the Tunisian interior
19:13and the minister of the Libyan interior.
19:15During a press conference,
19:17the Tunisian minister
19:19stated that the decision
19:21to reopen the passage
19:23was taken in a common way
19:25and this after partially opening it
19:27on June 13
19:29in the face of alert situations.
19:31The reopening of the passage
19:33closed on Libyan decisions
19:35since last March
19:37is taking place
19:39after several unsuccessful
19:41attempts.
19:45The passage has been
19:47fully open today
19:49after being partially open
19:51a week ago
19:53and we expressed our attachment
19:55to the terms of the agreement
19:57that we signed together.
20:01The opening of the passage
20:03has been carried out
20:05with complete security control.
20:07We will work to fight
20:09the smuggling
20:11and we aspire to open
20:13other new passages
20:15with Tunisia.
20:17It should be noted
20:19that the Libyan security forces
20:21carried out a large-scale campaign
20:23to the border post
20:25before the opening
20:27of the border post
20:29to Tunisia
20:31beyond the legally authorized quantities.
20:33This campaign comes after
20:35the decision to restructure
20:37the fuel subsidies
20:39announced on January 10, 2024
20:41by the government
20:43Abdelhamid Edbeiba.
20:45According to observers
20:47of Tunisian-Libyan relations,
20:49this decision
20:51is unlikely to be applied
20:53with a lot of rigor
20:55to negatively impact Tunisia.
