00:00If you are at table this moment, bon appétit and from whatever geographical location on
00:26the world map you find yourself this moment, this is the midday bilingual newscast on the
00:31Cameroon radio television coming to you live from Balatou Yaoundé. We are Arielle Olivia
00:37Mbouazoua and Alphonsa Bongoachou. Good afternoon to you. You have the headlines of the newscast.
00:56Cameroon's head of state Paul Biya and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron
01:20have reviewed the state of relations between both friendly countries.
01:24President Paul Biya was received in audience at the Elysee Palace shortly before the opening
01:29ceremony of the 34th Olympic Games in Paris, France. Chief Unity Palace correspondent
01:36Ashu Nyenti reports from Paris. Around 1 p.m. this 26th of July at Paul Biya's Four Seasons
01:46George V Hotel in Paris, there is forth and back movements of government officials,
01:51diplomats and security operatives in the hotel lobby. The president will soon emerge as he heads
01:58to an important telethon with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron at the Presidential
02:03Palace. Today the Elysee Palace is at its best, resplendent and magnificent, with breathtaking
02:10floral diversity, the work of a millennial civilization and symbol of presidential
02:15prestige and power, especially in the French Fifth Republic. Paul Biya's limousine pulls over
02:23slowly to where a member of the Elysee protocol is already standing in wait to usher in the
02:28president. On seeing the head of state, the ten men habitually dressed on a skirt commanded by
02:34Lieutenant-Colonel Ravel steady their swords in honor. A little up the staircase, Emmanuel Macron
02:40is ready to welcome his guest. They both pose for the cameras with broad smiles transmitting warmth,
02:47friendship and mutual respect. Indeed this is a retrovive between Biya and Macron who have met
02:53several in Paris and Yaoundé since Macron came to power. The accompanying delegation members take
02:59their seats in an adjoining apartment while Paul Biya and Emmanuel Macron concentrate on their
03:04man-to-man talk, looking relaxed, mutually interested and poetically intimate here at the
03:10gardens of the Elysee, Hôtel d'Ivray, a local church with historical significance. The meeting
03:17lasts for about 40 minutes behind closed doors, not much filtered out. However there are indications
03:23that tête-à-tête centers around the evaluation of the state of cooperation between Yaoundé and Paris
03:29since they last met especially as much has been done at the ambassadorial level
03:33to stimulate all aspects of these relations. President Paul Biya is visibly happy with the
03:39outcome of the discussion as he returns to his hotel and briefly debriefs
03:44with one of his closest collaborators before retiring into his apartments.
03:52Cameroonian table tennis player Sarah Hanfu will begin competing for Cameroon this Saturday in
03:58the women's single in table tennis at the ongoing Olympics Games. She will be playing against
04:05Chelsea at Gilles from Guyana at 2 p.m. Cameroon time. For updates let's now join CRTV's envoy
04:13Baldwin. Some are standing by in Paris. Hello Baldwin.
04:19Greetings and welcome to Paris, Versailles for day one for team Cameroon as far as the competition
04:23is concerned with the first athletes in the person of Sarah Hanfu who will begin competing for
04:29Cameroon this afternoon. It's going to be 3 p.m. here in Paris, 2 p.m. back there in Cameroon.
04:35Sarah Hanfu will be competing against Chelsea at Gilles from Guyana as far as the women's table
04:41tennis singles is concerned. It's going to be the preliminary round and a win for Sarah Hanfu is
04:47going to propel her to the next stage of this particular discipline and to say that her opponent
04:53from Guyana, she's making her debut at the final phase of the Olympic Games. She is a no-nonsense
04:58table tennis player who has shown her prowess at the junior level talking about table tennis,
05:04talking about the Commonwealth Games of Nations. So Sarah Hanfu, she is already here in one of the
05:10training halls here at the Paris Versailles Sports Arena where in a couple of hours she will be
05:16competing and hopes ahead that she's going to pick a qualification ticket for the next round
05:23of the competition and we shall be there to keep our viewers updated. Back to you.
05:28Definitely we shall be updating the viewers. Paris, the French capital, has entreated the world
05:34to one of the most memorable openings in the history of the Olympic Games. For more than
05:40four hours, the open air ceremony had over 200 delegations including Team Cameroon,
05:47paraded by sailing in boats along the Seine River. Stars in the music industry, the likes of Lady
05:53Gaga, Celine Dion, football legends like Zinedine Zidane plus French Moroccan actor and comedian
06:00Jamel Debusse, spiced the colourful opening ceremony. In attendance, French President
06:07Emmanuel Macron and Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee and host of
06:14other world dignitaries watched Paris marvel the world. We bring to you more in this in our
06:21subsequent newscasts.
06:37Je proclame ouvert les Jeux de Paris,
06:52célébrant la 33e Olympiade des Temps Modernes. The opening ritual by President Emmanuel Macron,
07:00then the Olympic oath by two athletes Florent and Melina followed under a noticeable downpour.
07:07Finally, the mysterious flame carrier hands it to Zinedine Zidane, who in turn gives it to
07:13tennis man Raphael Nadal, who sails with the flame accompanied by Serena Williams and Carl Lewis.
07:19Armélie Moresmo, tennis champion, to basketballer Tony Parker under the rain for eternity. Teddy
07:26Reiner, judo athlete and Marie-José Perrecq sprinter finally lights the flame. Celine Dion is the icing
07:32on the cake. Of an opening ceremony that started with two icons, one on the entertainment industry,
07:48the French Moroccan actor and comedian Jamel Debusse and the other in the world of football,
07:54Zinedine Zidane carried the Olympic flame and paraded some of the streets of the Parisian
07:59capital with destinations, the banks of the Seine River, where Zidane hands the flame to the younger
08:06generation waiting in the boat. It sails for a while and next we see President Emmanuel Macron
08:11Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, who receives a standing
08:15ovation, then follows the marked paths of delegations. The first to begin is Greece.
08:22At the same moment, the mysterious Olympic flame carrier is following the parade. Cameroon, for
08:27their 16 consecutive participations, comes in with Emmanuel Essamie and Sopimbella as flag bearers.
08:33The colors of the opening ceremony were telling of the splendid and memorable show Paris offered
08:40the world.
08:58A dozen minutes before 1 pm here in Paris, on Friday, June 26, 2024, the President of the Republic, Paul Biya, leaves his private apartments at the Four Seasons George V Hotel to take the direction of the Elysee, where his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron is already waiting for him.
09:15Despite a busy schedule and a very high volume of applications and highly understandable on this day of the official opening of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games,
09:25the French president intended to receive his Cameroonian counterpart.
09:28It is therefore logically a head-to-head that testifies to the excellent current trajectory of the Yahoundé-Paris axis
09:34and which certainly serves as a marker in the relationship between the two countries.
09:39The head-to-head, Biya-Macron, on June 26, 2026, is hosting one of the Elysee's garden shows.
09:46Happy coincidence, this meeting takes place two years, day by day, after the audience between the two leaders at Yahoundé during the official visit of President Macron to Cameroon.
09:57Upon arrival at the Elysee, the head of the Cameroonian state is welcomed by his French counterpart at his car descent, proof of all the friendship and great esteem he carries.
10:09Indeed, it is an Emmanuel Macron, very careful, who comes on June 26, 2024, to meet President Cameroonians.
10:17At the same time, singular honors will be given to him by a French detachment of the ten elements Sabre-Clair.
10:24After immortalizing his unique moments in front of the camera lenses, the two heads of state will retire for interviews,
10:32interviews that will last a little over 45 minutes.
10:35There is no doubt that this new meeting between the two leaders after Lyon 2018, Yahoundé 2022 and Paris 2023,
10:45will have allowed them to evaluate the different advances since these previous meetings and to raise other more specific questions.
10:52After taking leave of his French counterpart, President Biya will regain his hotel, which he will leave again a little later in the afternoon,
11:02to take part, this time accompanied by Prime Minister Chantal Biya, at a reception offered by the French President
11:08at the place of the group of leaders invited to his games in Paris, before returning to the solemn opening ceremony.
11:16To return to the relationship between Cameroon and France, the frequency of contacts between the two leaders and the benevolent listening that surrounds them
11:25allows us to think that this one still has beautiful days ahead of her.
11:30Table tennis takes place this Saturday during these Olympic Games in Paris.
11:36The Cameroonian Sarah Anfou, who is participating for the third time, says she is ready for tonight. We listen to her in this extract.
11:43Hello everyone, I am Sarah Anfou, I am a table tennis player for the Cameroonian team.
11:49These are my third Olympic Games and I am delighted and proud to represent Cameroon.
11:54I am ready, determined and I will give my best to go as far as possible and represent Cameroon well.
12:00I can't wait to start the competition, I also remember the previous Olympic Games and I will also try to take advantage of the Cameroonian team,
12:09to go and see the other athletes, support them and go as far as possible.
12:13The opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games ended several hours ago.
12:20The edition of this year highlights the diversity of French cultural riches.
12:25More than four hours of watches, as well as a tour of the Parisian river, the Seine, have furnished these unprecedented moments.
12:32Evariste Jenga.
12:38Paris in all its splendor.
12:41The French capital crossed by the Seine, the Seine of a colorful ceremony.
12:50A river parade of 206 delegations, one in the boats and the others grouped in 85 boats over 6 km.
13:07The representatives of Cameroon mark their presence, the highest country is the most praised.
13:12589 representatives.
13:18As well as large-scale delegations.
13:20The scenery is a combination of the assets of France, its culture, its landscape, the history of Olympics and its dynamics in time.
13:29The mysterious bearer of the flame is a faithful companion.
13:44He will pass the relay of the Olympic baton illuminated to the great figures of the sport, such as Zidane, Amélie Mauresmo, Tony Parker.
13:52It was night, shortly after the speech of Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee, and the opening of the Place Trocadéro games.
14:06I proclaim the games of Paris open, celebrating the 33rd Olympics of modern times.
14:17The ceremony opened to the world, with a plurality of nationalities in most of the Seine.
14:23An unprecedented ceremony located between an exhibition of charms and a welcome to the French.
14:29We see athletes.
14:31The first edition of the marathon called Peace and the practice of living together in harmony took place yesterday between Bachenga and Obala on a 21 km route.
14:43The event is sponsored by Minister Henri Ayébé Ayissi, cadastre and fundamental affairs.
14:50The details with Evariste Yenga.
14:54Call for the mobilization of all the children of the Lequiez.
14:57Meeting point, Bachenga crossroads, symbolizing the national unity, the flag.
15:03Explanation.
15:04The success of this marathon comes from the fact that the administrative authorities have hired me.
15:12Under federal technical control, nearly 100 marathon runners of all categories make the Bachenga-Obala-Longue connection of 21 km.
15:19The fastest loop the itinerary in mind, Place des Fêtes d'Obala.
15:23Here they were waiting for the prophet of Monatélé, representative of the parent, Minister Henri Ayébé Ayissi, of the domain of cadastres and fundamental affairs.
15:32We have never had the same in the department.
15:36It was a bold initiative on the part of the promoter, who had no experience or resources in the matter,
15:43but who had the competition of the administrative authorities, but also and especially of the departments,
15:52at the head of which Mr. Minister Ayébé Ayissi.
15:56The best rewards reflect the harmony and unity.
16:01Prix Henri Ayébé Ayissi, for his constant support of the youth, special prize of the head of state, celebrated here as a friend of the department of the Léquier.
16:31The needs of these business owners, management gurus say, are many.
16:47Experts here are sharing tips on how to give a product an attractive look and an identity, which are indispensable in branding and packaging.
16:58The organizers of this two-day branding and packaging workshop are on a mission to help SMEs successfully brand and market their products.
17:09To give them basic tools and skills that will help them better understand the need for the development of strategic brands,
17:17how to package their product in such a way that it responds to the international standards,
17:22and to promote Made in Cameroon and build the sustainability of our economy in our country.
17:28This gathering also serves as an orientation ground for business owners.
17:34We are here to show them opportunities such as the platform that they can use, like the e-commerce from Artex, that gives them more visibility.
17:41Hopes are rife that participants at this seminar will improve on their communication skills
17:48and understand the elements of brand strategies to make their products more competitive both at the national and international markets.
17:59Some holidaymakers have received certificates of participation in a one-and-a-half-month special holiday cultural and artistic program organized by the National Museum.
18:10The children have expressed gratitude as they are now able to carry out painting, traditional dances, and play cultural musical instruments.
18:19Joyce Abigaim Foshee was at the closing ceremony and now reports.
18:25If you cannot get it from their songs, you'll get it from their play, the cultural and artistic lessons received by these young Cameroonians.
18:36The dry sea people of Cameroon are made up of the northwest and the west coast.
18:41I've learned how to paint. I've also learned how to dance, how to color. I've learned poetry that makes us make vases, pots.
18:53We make a musical instrument, we dance, we color, we draw.
18:59We learn how to dance, how to draw, how to paint, and how to make pots.
19:04The special children's holiday program is thanks to the plausible initiative of the National Museum.
19:11This artistic and cultural holidays, which is at its fourth edition, was a program that was initiated in order to get the young Cameroonians immersed in their culture.
19:25The exhibition of these works of art created by the children themselves is evident of the amazing work put in place by the organizers to show these youngsters the importance of a strong sense of cultural identity.
19:42We stay with culture to say the fifth edition of Miss Flambeau d'Afrique contest is expected to take place tomorrow Sunday at the Yaoundé Conference Center.
19:51This was made public through an audience granted by the Minister of Arts and Culture Pierre-Ismael Bidumpat to the promoter of the event, the technical team, and the nine candidates representing their countries, notably Cameroon, Gabon, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Chad, Congo, Brazzaville, and Equatorial Guinea.
20:11The cultural event is an instrument that promotes peace and development within the African continent.
20:17Here now is an excerpt of Tabby Alain, who is a member of the jury. He spoke to Culture Desk's editor Joyce Abigaien-Foshy.
20:29Miss Flambeau d'Afrique needs to celebrate African beauty, not beauty in the sky, but in the heart.
20:38We need to valorize our culture.
20:42That's the main topic of this edition, forest preservation, environmental preservation, because we cannot live in a good area with pollution.
20:53We need the young people to be active.
20:57On Sunday, by 9, 8 p.m., we start with a show.
21:03We have to prepare an election.
21:05In this election, we will make a choice for young girls who can give us the impression of all the things we have in our knowledge, culture in Africa.
21:20First session of the Food Safety Support Committee in the rural areas of Cameroon.
21:28The work that has been carried out in Yaoundé aims to support Cameroon in the implementation of operations in the rural sector.
21:36Clémence Niamda.
21:38According to the recent results of the October 2023 harmonized framework, 10.6% of people are in a situation of food insecurity in Cameroon.
21:48A situation that does not leave the public authorities indifferent.
21:52We have 3 million Cameroonians who are in a situation of acute food insecurity.
21:58This process will increase the level of income and reduce the incidence of food insecurity in Cameroon.
22:05The government of Cameroon is on the side of the populations to bring solutions to their difficulties and try to reduce the poverty rate in general.
22:15The meeting of this day marks the effective start of a project that is based on the implementation of the support to the rural sector put in place as part of the C2D funding.
22:26The area of intervention will expand, especially with the introduction of the region of the southwest.
22:31Because the efforts of the government have enabled to mobilize additional funding to expand the center of intervention of this project.
22:40Tomorrow, the actors will get on the ground and be able to enter in full in the accompaniment of the beneficiaries.
22:47In the hope that the fruits will keep the promise of the flowers, this young project, whose envelope is now 13.8 billion francs CFA, will help to achieve the targeted objective.
22:57In particular, the support to food security in the rural territories of Cameroon.
23:04Offering quality education to all citizens, the Secretary-General of the Services of the Governor of the Center, Simon Gislain-Aitil,
23:11recently presided over a meeting with the Association Synergie Artive, which is waiting to organize an international forum for the promotion of school excellence in the future.
23:22Emmanuel Bicombe of the Synergie Artive Center.
23:25The school that prepares for life is today faced with new challenges that it must face at the risk of giving up its reason for being and its social function.
23:35Among these challenges, there is the quality of its results, that is to say, the products it injects into society.
23:42It is out of these findings and in view of the imperative and urgent character that the problem reveals that Synergie Artive is organizing in the coming months at the Palace of Sports of Yaoundé
23:53the first edition of the International Forum for the Promotion of School Excellence, Academic and the Valuation of the Professions of Education.
24:02The members of this project were received on Thursday, on behalf of the Governor of the Center, by the Secretary-General, Simon Gislain-Aitil,
24:09during an explanatory meeting of promoters Eric, Didier and Dan.
24:13Mingala clearly outlined the objectives of this important project.
24:17It should be noted, among other things, that the Promex Forum is a unique opportunity to meet, exchange and share experiences between the different actors of education.
24:28It also gives them the opportunity to discover the latest advances and innovations in the field of education, as well as the best practices in the field of pedagogy and professional training.
24:40Management of the Audiovisual and Cybernetic Communication in Cameroon is the title of the book by the Cameroonian Alain Koué-Vondy,
24:49a book that offers the State solutions for the improvement of management in the audiovisual and cybernetic space in Cameroon.
24:57Martin Amougou reports.
25:00A proposal for the State of Cameroon, written in a book.
25:04The book talks about management in the audiovisual and cybernetic space in Cameroon.
25:10A battery of suggestions during the dedication ceremony presented to the media men, witnesses of history.
25:16It is a citizen proposal of the sector of the audiovisual and cybernetic communication.
25:23Rethinking the formation of the elite in large schools, modifying the nature and principles of recruitment in the administration.
25:30Reviewing the practical and professional rules for the author.
25:34The first director in charge of the application files for licenses for the audiovisual in the Ministry of Communication.
25:39This production is born of the shortcomings and limits observed in the management of the audiovisual, observed during 30 years of service.
25:46When you have been in a sector for a long time, that you have alongside illustrious compatriots, ministers and others,
25:53inevitably you come back with something a little transformed.
25:58So it is a sharing of this experience at this level, with the idea that even these high personalities also have their limitations.
26:05From the liberalization of the audiovisual to the general states of communication in 2012,
26:10Alakwevuni offers solutions in Cameroon. 227 pages.
26:17A new book titled MESENCANTA NOU OLYMPIQUE OR LE ROMAN DE MESENCANTA AIN has been published by the North Regional Bureau Chief for SOPECAM, Brice Mbeze.
26:29The 289-page document, according to the seasoned journalist, marks his 50th birthday anniversary and reviews his 25 years of a fulfilled professional career captured in seven chapters of journalistic practices.
26:45Details with Mercy Ashunyabuyo in Garwa.
26:49MESENCANTA NOU OLYMPIQUE OR LE ROMAN DE MESENCANTA AIN is the latest publication of seasoned sports journalist Brice Mbeze.
26:57Spread out in over seven chapters, the book encapsulates the professional journey of the sports reporter,
27:03including journalistic practices that have shaped his career as he celebrates 50 years on planet Earth.
27:10It falls during the start of the Paris Olympic Games, which is why I use the metaphor in the title MESENCANTA NOU OLYMPIQUE.
27:19In journalistic writing, your style should be simple, subject, verb, object.
27:25Presenting the book to pressmen and women, as well as a cream of intellectuals in Garwa,
27:30Brice Mbeze takes his readers on a journey recounting his role during national and international competitions.
27:38As an author, I would like to say my acknowledgement to my young brother Brice Mbeze,
27:45who is in the line of those great journalists all over the world who put their experience
27:54at the level of everybody.
27:56While profiling football icons like Samuel Etofis, Roger Miller, Marc Vivian Fouey,
28:02using journalistic football jargons like prolongation,
28:05the book is also a musgrap with a rich repertoire of interviews and portraits
28:10of football icons and personalities who have contributed in making a name for the Intermediate Alliance.
28:17And now our feature page on the midday news takes us to a school for children with special needs
28:23to discover how they are embracing the art and science of coding and robotics.
28:29These children living with autism have undergone five-day training
28:33in coding and robotics at the Ray of Hope Academy all-inclusive establishment in Douala.
28:38The move by the Christian non-profit organization Bread for Life International and its partners
28:44aims at empowering these children with skills to facilitate their socio-political,
28:49socio-professional insertion. Victor Siga reports.
28:55Technology-related skills are essential for kids as it gives them the ability to interact
29:01with digital devices, turning them into creators rather than just consumers of technological products.
29:12The next generation has to be those who are familiar with the use of IT and ICT tools.
29:18Education is about solving problems regardless of what level it is.
29:23I believe that when we start introducing children to the basic knowledge of some of these concepts,
29:28by the time they start getting to high school and university it will become a part and parcel of them.
29:33We organize our coding and robotics classes and believe me they are free of charge.
29:39For five days experts have been enhancing problem-solving skills and nurturing the creativity
29:46of these children with special needs with necessary tools to tackle the challenges
29:51of the 21st century thanks to the Coding and Robotics CAM initiative.
29:56I create a project and create a football when I click, move steps.
30:03I've been learning how to create a game. I thank the school because they have given us the
30:09privilege to learn in this life how to create a game because if we would have not known that,
30:14if we don't have a job we can create a game and make some money. Even though it's a short program
30:18but we have learned a lot. The move is championed by Bread for Life International and partners.
30:24Children pick up mobile devices like tablets, computers and they play. They spend the whole day
30:30playing on it. You can actually use this opportunity that children are playing with
30:34these devices to teach them something that is going to be very useful to them in their lives.
30:39So we are preparing these children for the future in a way that in addition to their academic studies
30:45they have a skill that they can sell in the international market given that the world has
30:49become a global village. Promoters intend making the initiative part of the school's
30:55extracurricular activities for the social professional integration of children living
31:00with autism and other disability. And that's how we saw it on this edition of the Midday Bilingual
31:10News of this Saturday, July 27. We got production assistance from journalism students on internship
31:17here, Sandra Biloa and Cynthia Ebot. Ariel and I will be here again tomorrow when it's midday.
31:26Have a pleasant day on Saturday.
