Transcript
00:00Good afternoon and welcome to the Mid-Day Bilingual Newscast this Wednesday.
00:19Hello Frank.
00:20Hello Yoti, ladies and gentlemen, hello.
00:23In the title of this Mid-Day Bilingual Newscast, the countdown to school return, growing influence
00:32in libraries, in the race for school manuals, parents must measure the thickness of their
00:38wallets.
00:39Firefighters on alert in the face of the risk of flooding in the region of the Far North,
00:47and the revision of the techniques of intervention underway in Kousseri, our reporter is on
00:53site.
00:54He will tell us how these military maneuvers are taking place.
00:56And then the fervor of the preparations for the assumption, the liturgical solemnity is
01:01celebrated tomorrow, Thursday, in Mekalat, in the Jailoba region of the South, thousands
01:06of faithful Christians will experience the event in full spiritual retreat.
01:11That's it for the titles of this Mid-Day Bilingual Newscast.
01:14Yoti, the first part is with you.
01:17That's right Frank.
01:18Back to school preparations are gathering steam and one of the most sought after items
01:23are textbooks.
01:24But at what cost?
01:25With the official book list published with some modifications in the secondary education
01:30sector, parents and guardians are recently adjusting their budgets in order to purchase
01:35their very important didactic material.
01:38Clovis Bower went nosing around for the price of textbooks.
01:42Here is what he brought back.
01:45As low as 1,000 francs.
01:48That is the price tag for some textbooks on program for the next school year.
01:52But one thing remains, the availability of the school materials.
01:56Reasons being that the back to school season is just getting started.
02:00We have everything, but for the secondary section, it's not really that we have all,
02:06but at least we have some that are available from one CZM to upseat terminal.
02:15Prices may be low or even cheap for some parents, but for Luke Wambo, the total cost
02:20of buying textbooks for three kids takes a toll on him and so he prefers getting what
02:25is essential for the moment.
02:27I'm trying to struggle to help others before the school starts.
02:37They mostly come for English, Maths and I think French because they think they are the
02:42necessary ones that are needed.
02:44Events like these become very calculating for every parent as every penny in the pocket
02:50is budgeted.
02:51In school, Helter Skelter, during this back to school period, students with advanced level
02:58and baccalaureate certificates are wondering what next.
03:02One of the several options wherein lies the answer is the medical field.
03:06They can either choose to become emergency medics, surgeons, ophthalmologists, urologists
03:12or cardiologists.
03:13Riana Tosali explores some of those medical specialties for freshmen.
03:22A closer look into their future as laboratory scientists, one of the medical field students
03:28could pick up after bagging their A levels and baccalaureate.
03:32Just like the many organs in the body, medical specialties too are countless with attractive
03:37options like emergency medicine, surgery, hematology and oncology.
03:42You have to think about the brain, that's neurology.
03:45You have to think about the eyes of ophthalmology, the nose, ears and throat.
03:51That's another specialty.
03:52Then you can move down, you have the chest, that's pulmonologist.
03:57You can move down the stomach, you have gastroenterologist and inside the stomach you have people who
04:03can deal especially with kidney pathology including the skin with hematology which
04:11is very important.
04:13Paramedical courses like medical imagery, midwifery sciences and physiotherapy are also
04:18excellent alternatives in demand.
04:21We have a nursing science, we have analysis sciences, a nursing science, it is a lot of
04:29need around our Africa.
04:33We have an infantile option, reproductive health.
04:36But a genuine interest to save lives should motivate their interest in the medical profession.
04:42We are promoting the diversity because the more those specialties will be present in
04:46the country, the less people will be moving abroad.
04:51Dedication and hard work in schools is thus the only road that can lead to the swearing
04:56of the Hippocratic Oath.
04:59Let's now head over to the National Museum where the Board of Directors for National
05:03Archives has converged upon to evaluate some of the strides made in digitalizing the archives
05:09sector.
05:10Our reporter Joyce Abigail Foshee is standing by.
05:13Hello Abigail.
05:14Hello, the Board of Directors for the National Archives have converged here at the National
05:20Museum under the coordination of Cameroon's Minister of Arts and Culture, Pierre Ismael
05:26Edouard.
05:27This sector is attached to the Ministry of Arts and Culture.
05:31They have objected to the connection, the conservation and communication and of course
05:40receiving documents from both individuals and legal entities in public and private law.
05:50So today's meeting is all about the evaluation of the progress so far and some of the problems
05:57that have been encountered, especially in the face of modern digitalization of archives.
06:05And at the end of the day, there would be solutions that will be come up with to ensure
06:11that there is a progressive success within this sector.
06:16We would be bringing you details in our subsequent discussions.
06:20Joyce Abigail Foshee for the Midday News.
07:27Hello.
07:29Hello.
23:04Okay.
23:05I feel good. I feel light.
23:08It will bring me good things in my life, in my family, in my life.
23:12After the sport, he fails. The stomachs are empty.
23:17Behind the cave, Leonie is the chef who coordinates the activities in this giant kitchen.
23:23It is necessary to feed nearly 4,000 people.
23:26We start with the rice.
23:28We buy 4, 5 bags of corn.
23:322 eggs per day.
23:342 pigs.
23:3650 to 60 chickens.
23:40100 kilos of fish.
23:42We need 5 more to make 20 kilos.
23:45100 kilos per day.
23:47It's one meal.
23:50The night has fallen.
23:52It is time to be moved to the rhythm of the current stars of the Cameroonian gospel.
23:58Sing, dance, pray with your eyes fixed on the sky.
24:02These Christians contemplate the coronation of the Vierge
24:05who gave life to the saviors of the world.
24:13The bilingual newscast.
24:15The Made in Cameroon brand is making a mark in the fashion industry, both at home and abroad.
24:20Nowadays, there's just something special about wearing a piece that represents Africa in miniature.
24:26From clothing to beads and other accessories, the growing trend is remarkable.
24:31Chelsea Kwan went downtown Yaoundé to a place she calls the heart of the Made in Cameroon fashion industry.
24:38Her report.
24:40From bold prints to intricate jewelry, Made in Cameroon fashion is brimming with creativity and cultural pride.
24:48But behind the beauty lies a litany of challenges that local producers are eager to overcome.
24:55Cameroonians, when they see our things made in Cameroon,
24:58so they only like things that come from outside.
25:01Example like that dress from the Senegal.
25:03When Senegal says that it's 100,000, they move and pay.
25:07But if us that were in Cameroon, our products that we make in Cameroon,
25:11when you tell the price, if you just said 60,000, they'll just turn and go.
25:16Despite the challenges, the beauty and diversity of Made in Cameroon fashion are undeniable.
25:22Each piece tells a story of the country's rich cultural heritage.
25:26And with the right support, these local treasures can shine even brighter.
25:35I grew up in an area full of trees and grasses.
25:38The clothes made from traditional fabric bring all the history of my childhood days.
25:43It also reflects my culture.
25:46Promoting Cameroonian fashion is not just about wearing beautiful designs.
25:51It's about embracing and supporting our local talent.
25:56If you enjoy Victory Chants, then our feature story on the news will appeal to you.
26:03The Dawaio Warrior dance is spotlighted this midday as one which is rich in symbolism.
26:09The rhythms are heard and movements done only after a battle as a sign of victory,
26:14with voices going up several decibels.
26:18The traditional dance is performed only by the initiated in Faroe Division of the North Region.
26:24Let's enjoy the melody whose main instrument is a flute in this piece by Julius Niba.
26:34The preamble to the Namjin dance, an ancestral warrior dance of the Dawaio people
26:39in Faroe Division in the North Region as they gear up for war.
26:44All the villagers assemble after getting this flute sound.
26:47That signals that there is war coming, which is why we gave the name Gaps Nabo.
26:54When we blow this flute, everybody who has a family member going to war
26:58brings them food, medication and other prepared items
27:01and they carry them inside these special bags of war.
27:08Returning from a favorable victory, the Dawaio warriors move
27:12with well choreographed dancing steps depicting their bravery and conquest.
27:18When we have fought and won a battle, we come back singing and dancing.
27:21The drummers and other instrument players give the tempo and rhythm
27:25depicting physical strong warriors.
27:27But when we lose, we do not sing.
27:30Emanating as conquerors, the Dawaio dance is a rare opportunity for the warriors
27:34to proudly thank the gods for their protection and victory.
27:38This traditional shield blocks all kinds of bullets and weapons.
27:44These beads have mystical protection powers because they come from the sacred forest.
27:50The Namjing dance does not only showcase the might of the Dawaio people
27:54in Faroe Division in the North Region when it comes to war,
27:57but it is a rich cultural heritage that is jealously preserved
28:01by custodians of tradition for prosperity.
28:07We are in the Far North region.
28:09For this atmosphere and these colors of vacation,
28:11it is already the great effervescence in Muturoa, in the Kani jersey.
28:15The locality is actively waiting for the opening of the emergency tournament
28:20on August 25, a tournament that will take place this year
28:24under the theme of youth, responsibility and social cohesion.
28:28Nestor Kamga.
28:31An environment that, by the way,
28:34imposes a contemplative look at the picturesque, existential landscape.
28:39We are in Muturoa, in the Kani jersey,
28:42also called a village protected by the six mountains.
28:45It is a special day here,
28:47no one wants to miss the opening of the emergency tournament.
28:50It is very important in social cohesion,
28:53in the sense that it strengthens the bonds of friendship,
28:56of solidarity, of fraternity and of understanding among young people.
29:01The organizers display a certain serenity.
29:04The massive adhesion of the populations
29:06is proof of the interest they give to the value of living together.
29:1016 male teams and 4 female teams will take part in the championship.
29:17Our theme is youth, responsibility and social cohesion.
29:24We are fighting for this,
29:26for the youth who lead youth,
29:28especially juvenile delinquency,
29:30laziness, idleness.
29:33The kick-off of the opening match,
29:35a very anticipated moment by the inhabitants,
29:37shivering from sports activities.
29:39The apotheosis will be reached on August 25, 2024
