00:00We are still together on Mediain TV. Thank you for staying loyal to us. Here are the titles of your newspaper.
00:19In Morocco, we will be in a few moments in the city of Ocre, where the second edition of the Marrakech Economic Parliamentary Forum for the Euro-Mediterranean and Gulf region was opened this morning.
00:32The summit of NATO closes tonight. In Washington, support for Ukraine is almost on everyone's lips, but little or almost no talk has been made of the war in Gaza, which did not please at all Pedro Sanchez, the Spanish Prime Minister, who called on the West not to apply a two-fold measure on the war that decimates the Palestinian enclave.
00:57Meanwhile, the hecatomb continues in Gaza. Since the beginning of the war, more than 38,345 Palestinians have been killed. The Israeli army has completed its offensive in Shujaia, a completely razed district of the city of Gaza.
01:15We start this newspaper in Morocco, in the city of Ocre, with the opening this morning of the Marrakech Economic Parliamentary Forum for the Euro-Mediterranean and Gulf region. The transition to green energy and support for entrepreneurship are at the heart of the discussions.
01:36The transition to green energy and support for entrepreneurship and small and medium-sized businesses in this process. These are the two key themes of this forum, which extends over two days.
01:50An opportunity for participants to look at the examination of the means and mechanisms to meet the challenges related to production and access to affordable, sustainable and clean energy in the Mediterranean and Gulf regions.
02:02One of the main themes of this event is to highlight the means of qualification of the private sector in this area and to propose laws that allow small and medium-sized projects to benefit in order to promote green energy.
02:17To focus on regional solutions specially designed to support entrepreneurship, small and medium-sized businesses and economic growth is also at the heart of the discussions.
02:30The participants believe that this event is of great importance, especially in strengthening the cooperation links between the concerned geopolitical groups. The objective is to converge the approaches of action in order to address together the economic, political and security challenges.
02:48This forum takes place in a context of challenges and multidimensional risks. These are due in particular to the climate change or the ever-worrying impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the worsening of various crises. The Russo-Ukrainian war and what is happening in the Middle East, among others.
03:08This forum is therefore an ideal opportunity for parliamentarians and founding partners of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean to interact with the political and economic actors of the public and private sectors, as well as with academic circles and civil society.
03:32At the opening of this forum, the Medal of Excellence of the Humanitarian Action of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean was awarded to the Beit Mal Al-Quds Agency, chaired by His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
03:46Services and precious efforts deployed by the Agency in favor of humanitarian and social action in the Holy City were recognized. The award was received by the Director-General of the Management of the Agency, Mohammed Salim Sherkawi, for whom, as we can see in these images, this distinction pays homage to the efforts of the sovereign aiming to implement concrete projects in the field of social assistance.
04:16We remain in Avilok, where the 17th Congress of the Association of African Procurators continues. Today, Mohammed Abed Nabawi, the first president of the Court of Cassation, has returned to the commitment of the Kingdom in the search for practical solutions to the various environmental problems.
04:38Yesterday, Morocco was elected head of the General Secretariat of the APA, an election to which the General Procurator of the King was delighted, after the Court of Cassation, President of the Public Ministry, al-Hassan Dhaki, whom I invite you to listen to.
04:53We examined several points, including the actions of the public ministries and the achievements made by the APA during this mandate. We also mentioned the choice of Morocco to house the permanent seat of the Association, and the presidency of the APA was entrusted to Kenya, with Morocco at the head of the General Secretariat.
05:22As for the Treasury, it has returned to Zambia.
05:52The third point concerns the implementation of certain provisions of the law on the creation of the Moroccan Blood Agency and its derivatives. The Council has also adopted two decree projects on the bodies of nurses as part of the implementation of measures aimed at improving income in the public sector.
06:20The Council has also approved a decree on the implementation of the artisan activities law.
06:30How to better boost the tourism sector in the Kingdom? The question was today at Rabat, at the heart of the meeting between the head of the government, Aziz Akhanouch, and the President-General of the French Hotel Group Accor, Sébastien Bazin.
06:46This meeting was attended by the Minister of Tourism, Fatima Zahra Amour, the opportunity for the President-General of the French Hotel Group Accor to reiterate his commitment to participate significantly in the development of tourism and travel in Morocco. Let's listen to him.
07:03I did not come to your country by chance. I came to meet the head of the government, the Minister of Tourism, first to listen and secondly to reiterate a real desire to participate in a more significant way in the development of tourism and travel in this country, which we have loved for 45 years.
07:22And it was time to double our efforts, our presence, our means, taking our marks, to enter more and more with the local population, to embark all the young people of this country, if we can, to promote employment, to teach them a trade, so that they can participate in the adventure with us.
07:38A lot of humility, a lot of respect. That's why the first thing I have to do here is to listen to the ambitions of this country, of the head of government. Once we have listened, what are the demands, to know if we can respond.
07:50You will see me often in the coming weeks because we want to be an actor and certainly not a spectator.
07:57In the summer in Morocco, it's not just the beaches and the sun, it's also unfortunately forest fires. In the last case, it happened today in the forest of Medina in Tangier.
08:09Very mobilized, the civil protection of the city finally came to an end of the fire. In addition to the firefighter vehicles and the deployment of two cannons to drop water on the affected area, important means have been mobilized to control the flames.
08:27A judicial inquiry has been opened to determine the origin of the fire.
08:33And right away, we take the direction of Washington, where the summit of NATO closes tonight.
08:39Calumny and exaggeration. This is how China has criticized NATO, which it accuses of playing a role in the war in Ukraine by supporting Russia.
08:56During this third and last day of their summit, the leaders of the allied alliance of Ukraine will once again increase their support for Kiev, which has obtained not everything between missiles and fighter jets, but at the cost of everything it asked for.
09:16The closure of this summit tonight in Washington will be marked by the press conference of US President Joe Biden, who is playing his political survival.
09:28And during this summit, support for Ukraine is almost on everyone's lips, but we hardly talked about the war in Gaza, which did not please Pedro Sanchez at all.
09:41Pedro Sanchez, the Spanish Prime Minister, who called on the West not to apply a two-fold measure on the war that decimates the Palestinian enclave.
09:51He invited the leaders of NATO to create the conditions in which to cease the immediate and urgent fire, while warning of the risk of escalation at the border with Lebanon.
10:12And in this context, Russia has claimed today the capture of a new village in eastern Ukraine.
10:19This is Voskhod, in the Donetsk region, where the army continues to advance in the Ukrainian defensive lines, without making major breakthroughs at this stage.
10:32On their side, the foreign ministers of the G7 have condemned today the announcement by the Israeli government of its intention to legalize five outposts of colonies and to seize more than 1,200 hectares of land in six occupied Jordan.
10:49They also condemn the decision to extend the existing colonies in this area by authorizing 5,295 new units of housing and three new colonies.
11:03Meanwhile, the hecatombs continue in Gaza.
11:07Since the beginning of the war, more than 38,300 Palestinians have been killed as part of the negotiations to cease the fire.
11:19Israel demands to keep control of the Philadelphia corridor and the Rafah crossing.
11:28Hamas, on its side, demands the evacuation of this area by the Israeli army, which has completed its offensive in Shujaia, in the eastern district of the city of Gaza, completely razed to the ground.
11:41About 60 bodies have been discovered today under the rubble.
11:49Will President Kenyan's decision be able to calm the situation?
11:53In any case, William Bruton has condemned today almost all of his government.
11:58Two weeks after the demonstrations that led to the chaos, only the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Vice President have kept their fire.
12:11In Mali, the government has again authorized the activities of political parties and associations suspended last April.
12:23The Council of Ministers assures that by suspending these activities, the government has been able to contain all threats of trouble to the public order that was planned on the national dialogue.
12:36In Senegal, 100 days after President Bassir Odioma Efei's resignation, what assessment can be made of his actions?
12:43The rupture promised, is it in progress? Is his model of governance appreciated by Senegalese?
12:48Answers in this report in Dakar, from Mariam Odiop and Moussa Ndiaye.
12:53100 days ahead of the country, the Senegalese president has engaged reforms in various sectors such as justice, the announcement of revisions to hydrocarbon contracts, the reduction of the cost of living, the reduction of accounts, among other reassuring policies.
13:13We hear policies regarding education, training, youth. These are things that really push us to believe that beyond these 5 years, just for this first mandate, they will have a positive assessment.
13:30There are flaws that have also been noted. For example, on the detention of certain people and the frequent outings of the PM, which does not convince me at all. But in general, I can say that the government is on the right track.
13:54Good prospects are envisageable, according to this political analyst. He sets a clear example of power.
14:04From a governance point of view, the fact of giving some positive signals on a real will of rupture, especially in the nominations, also in decisions concerning the governance of natural resources,
14:24the rupture in the field of justice, but also some important economic decisions that will impact the population quite quickly. I think these first signals are quite positive.
14:41The policy of the new government, focused on the project, has convinced the interest of the Senegalese people. A concept that is not for the moment incisive, according to this actor of civil society.
14:55The President of the Republic has announced the 5 pillars on which the new project should be built. It must be said that in practice nothing has been done yet and there is no clear vision, a clearly defined approach to the constitution of this project.
15:20What happens is that actors like us are trying to anticipate on this to feed at least the axes that are advanced.
15:28President Bassirou Dioumaye Faye was installed at the head of Senegal on April 2, 2024. Elected on the promise of a rupture with the existing system, his first 100 days are scheduled with interest.
15:44From art to present, we are in the Kingdom and we immediately take the direction of RABAT, more precisely the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of the Capital, which houses the exhibition of the Cameroonian artist of international renown, Barthélemy Togo, entitled Stronger Together.
16:05The exhibition invites to the dialogue and reveals more than a hundred unpublished works inspired by Moroccan culture and its artisanal secular. Barthélemy Togo has created for this exhibition a series of works mixing paintings, drawings, ceramics, tapestries and tiles, while maintaining its bold signature.
16:28I propose to listen to the Cameroonian artist, just after you will have the reaction of Merdick Rodby, President of the National Foundation of Museums.
16:37I did not use 100% of Moroccan craftsmanship, I used 2% because there are many other things of Moroccan craftsmanship, but I just went to the ceramics, to the tapestry to explore, to transcribe what was important to me, what was a priority for me.
17:03I was fascinated to see my engravings produced in tapestry, I was fascinated to see the Moroccan cultural universe with the animals of their cultural world, the lion of the ice or the camel.
17:33I was fascinated to walk on my ceramics, the drawings were important to me.
17:39Barthélemy Togo, who was able to impose himself in the world and was given this white card so that he could invest and invest in a space.
17:51And you know how important it is, this affirmation for Morocco of its Africanity, this belonging to this continent.
18:04Moreover, as you can see, in the next two years there will be a museum, a museum of the continent, a real one, which will be an exceptional place where all the artistic expressions of our continent will be present.
18:25Culture, still in this newspaper, this time after Rabat, we are in Asila, where the summer session of the 45th edition of the International Cultural Museum of the City continues.
18:37The edition dedicated to plastic arts continues until July 27.
18:41The program of this summer session includes the organization of a mural painting workshop, a tradition since the spring of 1978, which took place this year in different alleys of the Medina of Asila, with the participation of 14 artists.
19:00More than a few days before the send-off of the Paris Olympic Games, the African athletes are very much awaited. Today we focus on the preparations of the Nigerian athletes.
19:14In Abuja, this is a report by Gilles Bertamba.
19:18The Paris 2024 Olympic Games open on June 26 and the preparations of the Nigerian athletes are underway.
19:27The Nigerians express their confidence in the state of preparation of the Nigerian athletes who have obtained qualifications in various sports and events.
19:36We have to leave the country for a training tour in Germany, then our next destination will be France for the Olympic Games. This is the schedule for the moment.
19:50The hopes of more than 200 million Nigerians rest on the shoulders of more than 80 competitors and Nigerian athletes know that their work is far from over.
20:00Nkiruka Timothy is confident about the success of his compatriots at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
20:07Nigeria is able to get good results in this competition. The coaches and athletes are well prepared and I am aware of the importance of this event for every athlete in order to show his talent, improve his profile and represent Nigeria.
20:21We must finish on the podium. If our athletes cannot get the gold medal, they must get the silver medal. And if this is not possible, they must win the bronze medal. These are my expectations.
20:37Training camps have been organized in Nigeria, Ghana, the United States and Bahamas. Tournaments on invitation have also been held in different countries.
20:51For these Paris 2024 Olympics, Nigerian athletes even participated in the Pan-African Games in 2023, organized in Ghana, where the country finished second in the medal table.
21:01The journey from Nigeria to the Olympic Games is a story of mixed fortunes. But the country reached its peak in Olympic history at the Summer Games in 1996 in Atlanta, in the south of the United States.
21:16This is the end of this news. Thank you for following it.
