00:00You are on Mediain TV and it's time for the big news from Medi, welcome to you, we start with the headlines.
00:24A year, day by day, since the beginning of the war in Gaza, nearly 42,000 Palestinians killed, the Gaza strip completely destroyed and a conflict that is spreading in the region, we take stock in this newspaper.
00:38In Tunisia, the head of state, a winner with more than 89% of the votes, at the presidential election, a scrutiny marked by a very low participation according to polls.
00:55And then the Nobel prize in medicine awarded to the Americans Victor Ambrose and Gary Rovkun for their discovery of micro RNA, a new class of tiny RNA molecules, playing a crucial role in the regulation of the activity of genes.
01:1542,000 Palestinians killed, millions displaced, this is the report of the war in Gaza a year, day by day.
01:28This October 7 marks the anniversary of the first year of conflict in this territory where civilians, women and children are subjected to a flaming by the Israeli army.
01:38During this conflict, the Israeli army targeted and destroyed most of the health, social and educational infrastructures in Gaza.
01:46An army that has been carrying out a devastating land and air offensive for a year, an offensive during which members and personnel of the UN or journalists perished.
01:56Back on this one year of war with Soheil Jalil.
02:08Gaza, a year of destruction, death and despair.
02:12In this blind war, civilians paid the heaviest tribute.
02:17At a time when Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip continue relentlessly, Israeli operations have killed nearly 42,000 civilians.
02:26According to the figures of the Ministry of Health of the Gaza Strip, more than 14,000 children died in the Palestinian territory between October and the beginning of May.
02:35A terrible human toll and those without the objective displayed by Israel, that is, the eradication of Hamas and the liberation of hostages, has been achieved.
02:44Fault of agreement to stop the fire, still untraceable, the fate of the 2.3 million Palestinian prisoners whose little enclave is in tears.
02:5390% of them had to leave their homes to live under the shelter of fortunes, permanently threatened by bombings and deprived of almost everything.
03:02More than 80% of the strip has become rubble and ruins.
03:06Infrastructures no longer exist, everything has been pillaged and destroyed by the intensive bombings of Assad.
03:12Hospitals fall like castles on a map.
03:15The factories manufacturing raw materials are targeted by bombs.
03:19Water and food have become very rare.
03:22A year later, there is no more road to Gaza, as there is no more trade or any lucrative activity.
03:29A year later, infectious diseases cause a lot of deaths, especially in babies, as is the case with polio.
03:35A year later, humanitarian aid is still blocked and the Israeli army lets the strict minimum pass to maintain what is left of the Palestinian population under siege.
03:45A year later, the budget of the Israeli army has almost doubled, with significant aid from Washington, Paris, Berlin, London, the Scandinavian countries, the Netherlands, Belgium and almost the entire EU.
03:58Not to mention the countries of Eastern Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
04:03In addition, Assad has declared to deploy additional troops in the vicinity of the strip on the eve of the first anniversary of the attack on Hamas.
04:11Also to demand freedom and justice for the Palestinians in Rabat, London, Paris, Caracas, Washington or even in the Cape.
04:20Tens of thousands of people demonstrated on Saturday and Sunday, their support to the Palestinians of Gaza, but also to Lebanon.
04:26Manifestations have also gathered several thousand people in about sixty cities in Turkey, including Istanbul, Ankara, Zanguldak and Erzurum.
04:35When will the world be able to put an end to a war without a winner? No one knows.
04:41And on this sad anniversary, the weapons still do not cease, according to the Israeli army.
04:46Four projectiles were fired from the Gaza Strip in the direction of Israel.
04:51The sirens of alert rang in several towns two minutes after the start of the ceremonies,
05:00one of which is in the presence of the Israeli president on the outskirts of the Palestinian territory.
05:11So, after a year of war in Gaza, the conflict has turned into a regional conflict.
05:17How can the situation evolve? We asked the question to Mohamed Badin al-Yaiti.
05:23Yes, he is a researcher studying strategy at the National College of Defense of the United Arab Emirates.
05:29He was the guest of the morning. I suggest you listen to him.
05:33So, we see that the conflict with Hezbollah began with this attack on Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed last week.
05:41And we also see that the political objectives are not clearly defined,
05:45since now we have an Israeli incursion in the south of Lebanon, which Israel occupied until 2000.
05:51And of course, in the Israeli state and in the Israeli political class,
05:55there is always this image of 2006, when Hezbollah had held its head against the Israeli army,
06:00which is doing it again.
06:02And we see that in the face of the weakness of the Lebanese army, the Lebanese institutional army,
06:06despite the presence of the FIMUL, which represents the United Nations,
06:09we are going towards a war again between Hezbollah and Israel, but this time on the ground.
06:15Which poses real problems, since Lebanon has had very profound economic, social and political problems for a number of years.
06:22It is a country that unfortunately has never recovered from the civil war that began in 1975
06:27and which is in the midst of a whole lot of regional pressure from the Israelis, Iranians and others.
06:33And we see that the situation could also intensify in Lebanon.
06:38And it remains to be seen how long the Israeli army will remain on Lebanese territory
06:43and how long it will be able to withstand human losses.
06:47It should be remembered that in 2006 it had lost more than 200 soldiers,
06:50so we will have to see how Benjamin Netanyahu will get out of the situation in Lebanon
06:55and that Joe Biden, just like Emmanuel Macron, will try to put out the fire that failed last week.
07:02We have just seen for several weeks now that the war in Gaza has been raging in the region,
07:08with Lebanon now at the heart of this conflict as well.
07:12While the murderous escalation killed more than 2,000 Lebanese at the border,
07:16according to Lebanese authorities, an Israeli soldier was killed
07:20and two others were seriously injured in recent hours in combat near the border with the country of Cedre.
07:25This is what the Israeli army, the Lebanese official agency, announces.
07:28It is the state of several Israeli raids against the southern suburbs of Beirut,
07:33fiefdom of Hezbollah, piloted for several days now.
07:36The Israeli army claims to have targeted arms warehouses of the movement of the southern suburbs,
07:42which has been hit by more than 30 strikes.
07:45The southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, which has been regularly bombed by Israel
07:50since the beginning of its open war against Hezbollah,
07:53on Sunday, yesterday, the Israeli army issued a new call to evacuate in advance.
08:02We also learn that at least eight Lebanese firefighters
08:06were also killed in one of these Israeli air strikes on their barracks
08:12in a locality in the southern border of Israel.
08:15This is the barracks of Bar HaShit, where 10 firefighters have been targeted since the beginning of the clashes
08:22a year ago between Israel and Hezbollah.
08:25More than 115 firefighters and firefighters have been killed,
08:29according to a report by EFE based on official Lebanese figures.
08:37For the rest of international news,
08:39the Ukrainian army claims to have hit the largest oil terminal in Crimea.
08:46Kiev has multiplied its attacks on Russian energy sites in recent months
08:51to disrupt the logistics of the armed forces of Moscow,
08:54which controls nearly 20% of the Ukrainian territory since its invasion of its neighbor, launched in February 2022.
09:01These attacks have led to a fire, a fire confirmed by the Russian authorities.
09:08Ukraine had already used long-range missiles,
09:12in particular to hit the major state of the Russian Navy, the Black Sea.
09:16It was in Sebastopol, east of Crimea, in September 2023.
09:20As a reminder, Crimea is a Ukrainian peninsula annexed by Moscow in 2014.
09:29We go to Tunisia, where the outgoing head of state, Reza Saeed, wins the presidential election
09:34with more than 89% of the votes in a poll, marked by a very low participation,
09:39according to the polls.
09:41Najwa Becha, our correspondent in Tunisia, tells us more.
09:47Reza Saeed was re-elected at 89.2% according to a poll conducted at the exit of the polls,
09:54carried out by a specialized institute in opinion polls.
09:58As for the participation rate,
10:00the Independent Electoral Commission confirmed that it had reached 27.7%,
10:06which is the equivalent of the participation of 2,700,000 voters.
10:15We have registered the participation of 2,704,155 electors
10:22on the entire Tunisian territory and abroad,
10:26a participation rate of 27.7%.
10:32The head of the Electoral Commission confirmed
10:35that no electoral violation had been recorded on the day of the poll.
10:39Referring to one of the candidates aimed at judicial decisions,
10:43the head of the Electoral Commission confirmed
10:46that the institution will take into account all the final judicial decisions
10:51during the vote counting.
10:54In the case of one of the candidates,
10:56the issue is now related to the final judicial decisions.
11:00We will take these decisions seriously when we approve the results.
11:07The reactions of the other candidates were immediate,
11:10while candidate Zohail Marzeoui claimed
11:13that the results of the poll misled Tunisians.
11:17By mistake, the campaign management of Haye Chizamel
11:21expressed its categorical rejection of these results,
11:25underlining that its candidate would go to the second round.
11:30The presidential elections in Tunisia have ended with a low participation rate.
11:34According to estimates, there will be no second round
11:38due to an expected victory of Tunisian President Recess Raid.
11:42From Tunisia, Najwa Bechat, for Media.
11:45And the very low participation rate,
11:4827.7% according to the Electoral Commission,
11:51remains the striking fact of this presidential election in Tunisia.
11:55This makes President Recess Raid a bad head of state in legitimacy.
11:59In any case, this is the analysis of Zohail Marzeoui.
12:01Professors specializing in constitutional law,
12:04I suggest you listen to him.
12:07It's close to reality.
12:1189% of 27% of participants.
12:15This means nothing.
12:17We must also insist on the participation of young people.
12:22They did not move.
12:24It's a low rate of 6%.
12:27But what must be said is that Recess Raid has stifled
12:31all political forces and civil society.
12:34It has dismissed serious candidates.
12:37It has imprisoned them.
12:39It controls the electoral process.
12:42It is a measured process.
12:44And it is done so that the president wins.
12:47These are elections to the Egyptian, to the Algerian.
12:5027.7% is a very low rate.
12:53And so the president will suffer.
12:57So there is something that revolves around his legitimacy.
13:02So it's a low legitimacy.
13:06The Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to the Americans
13:09Victor Ambrosse and Gary Ruvkun
13:12for a breakthrough in gene regulation.
13:14It is a discovery of micro-RNAs.
13:17New class of tiny RNA molecules
13:20playing a crucial role in the regulation of gene activity.
13:24A major discovery.
13:26A deregulation of gene regulation
13:28can indeed lead to serious diseases
13:31such as cancer, diabetes or autoimmunity.
13:34Victor Ambrosse, 70 years old, is a biologist
13:37at the Massachusetts Medical School.
13:39And Gary Ruvkun, 72 years old, is a professor of genetics
13:43at the Harvard Medical School.
13:51Finally, the 25th edition of the Morocco Rally.
13:54The fifth and last stage of the World Rally Raid championships
13:57was held yesterday in Marrakech
13:59with a qualification stage on a distance of 74 km.
14:03Placed under the patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed
14:07this edition brings together the world's and Arab's greatest names
14:11of this mechanical sport.
14:13And it is in Zagora that the first stage will take place today
14:16with a distance of 500 km.
14:19The headliner of this rally will be
14:21the star Qatari Nasser al-Attiyah
14:24current leader of the general ranking of the World Championship
14:28in direct competition with the Saudi Yazid al-Rajhi
14:32holder of the title of the last edition of the Morocco Rally.
14:45And right now, it's time for the guest of the big newspaper
14:48October 7, 2023, October 7, 2024.
14:53It's been a year.
14:54Today, day by day, the war is killing the Palestinians
14:57of the Gaza Strip.
14:58A war that has ignited in the region.
15:01A war whose civilians pay the heaviest tribute.
15:04What is the balance of this ongoing conflict?
15:07Is a ceasefire still possible?
15:09I propose to talk about it today with my guest,
15:12Mr. Hassan Saoud, security expert and strategist.
15:15Hello to you.
15:18Hello Madam.
15:2042,000 dead, millions displaced,
15:23vital infrastructure destroyed by the Israeli army
15:26with among the civilian victims 14,000 children.
15:31According to UNICEF, there are more children killed in Gaza
15:34in four months than in four years of conflict in the world.
15:38What is your analysis of this balance?
15:42What is your assessment of these one year of war
15:44in the Gaza Strip?
15:47Yes Madam, you are right to give these staggering figures.
15:53The response of Israel to an excess,
15:57by an excess that is indestructible.
16:03And you have drawn a very disturbing picture
16:07of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
16:11Destruction of critical and vital infrastructure,
16:15hospitals, schools.
16:18We killed firefighters, we killed doctors,
16:23we killed children and women.
16:27In response, of course, to an attack by Hamas,
16:31which Israel is currently celebrating.
16:35But of course, it must also be said
16:38that Israel has never been,
16:41has never suffered such an important attack since 1948.
16:47And so, this situation is deplorable.
16:50And Israel continues to pillage Gaza
16:56and the West Bank,
16:58not to mention, of course, what is happening in Lebanon,
17:02what is happening in Yemen,
17:04what is happening in Syria and in Iraq.
17:06So, we are in a very possible conflagration,
17:13given, of course, this juxtaposition
17:17between the Prime Minister and the Israelis.
17:19So, we are going to talk about it,
17:21we are going to come to this conflagration,
17:24but before that, I would like us to address
17:28the question of negotiations in this flood of fire.
17:33Negotiations for a ceasefire are always being asked.
17:38This question is always being asked.
17:40Are they dead points?
17:42Do you think the war will continue?
17:46I am sorry to tell you, Madam,
17:49that in a way, the war has a step on diplomacy.
17:54And the war continues.
17:56We are going to a regional escalation,
18:01very harmful for everyone.
18:03And certainly, we have to wait for the evolution,
18:07because what is happening in Lebanon now,
18:10with the terrestrial incursion
18:12and a possible and very probable response against Iran,
18:19the situation is on the verge of deterioration.
18:23We will have to observe, of course, this response,
18:28because it will be an important indicator
18:31for the continuation of tragic events
18:35whose civilian populations are the first victims,
18:38including many children and many women.
18:40Unfortunately, it is not only some fighters,
18:43but it is a population that suffers these attacks from Israel.
18:49The Israeli army killed Ismail Hani and Hassan Nasrallah,
18:54the two historic leaders of the respective Hamas and Hezbollah movements.
18:59How does this constitute or constitute a turning point
19:03in the history of this conflict in the Middle East, in your opinion?
19:08You know, the disappearance of Haniyeh
19:12is an Iranian responsibility.
19:16When we were invited to a protected sanctuary
19:20and when we were attacked,
19:22there is inevitably a hole in the racket of Iranian information
19:28without going to the complicity.
19:31As for the leader of Hezbollah,
19:35inevitably there was an intrusion,
19:38there was an infiltration,
19:40and there were local complicity, internal complicity,
19:45and what is called endogenous complicity,
19:48which allowed Israel and its intelligence services
19:52to position the position of the leader of Hezbollah
19:56with all its staff,
19:58and to have carried out a very important targeted attack
20:05to get to the end of this responsibility.
20:10And so there is also a responsibility
20:13in these devices that are infiltrated
20:17and in internal complicity.
20:20We have just seen the war evolve into a regional conflict
20:25with a front on the Lebanese border that is open
20:29and an open war with Hezbollah.
20:31What are the prospects of this war today?
20:35Does the Israeli army have the means to hold
20:39and face several fronts?
20:42Looking at what we see,
20:44I think that this escalation of violence,
20:48we know that they have the means
20:51and the United States has just given them
20:54even better financial means,
20:56and we will see if it can continue,
21:01but visibly they have the means.
21:04Now, is it that by winning certain battles,
21:08we win the war?
21:09I strongly doubt it.
21:11Is Israel able to settle in a war zone?
21:16I also doubt it.
21:18Diplomacy will certainly have to be put in place
21:22to try to put an end to this tragic situation
21:26in the Middle East,
21:28which is not far from general impoverishment.
21:32So you just talked about diplomacy, Professor Saoud.
21:36Can we talk today about a paralysis,
21:40or even a failure of the United Nations system
21:42that could not intervene to put an end to a war
21:46that continues to cause victims in Palestine and Lebanon?
21:51I hope, Madam, that failure is an euphemism for you.
21:55When we make a map of conflictuality in the world,
22:01it is failure after failure after failure.
22:04In Lebanon, in the Middle East, it is a failure.
22:08In Yemen, a double failure.
22:10In Africa, in Sudan, a triple failure.
22:14And in Russia and Ukraine, another failure.
22:20So we are in an organization,
22:23and when we talk about trouble, Madam,
22:25I would also like to say, before going into what you said,
22:28it is a failure of the international community.
22:31Imagine that we are only exhorting and expressing concerns.
22:38And I recall the words of General De Gaulle,
22:43who spoke of this thing.
22:45I think that diplomatic successes are rather
22:48by countries, by individual states, or by the bilateral.
22:52Imagine that today, the Secretary General of the United Nations
22:57is personally declared Grata in Israel.
23:01It is a camouflage for this international organization,
23:05and beyond it, the international community.
23:09Imagine that the king, who is in charge of helping,
23:14of rescuing four and a half million Palestinians,
23:17is attacked, is prevented.
23:19We killed a lot of people.
23:21And so, Madam, you spoke of a failure for the right reason.
23:25For me, it is a disgrace.
23:27It is a camouflage for the United Nations organization.
23:32Last question.
23:33Hassan Zahaoud, you have just spoken of Israel.
23:36What is the objective of Benjamin Netanyahu today, in your opinion?
23:41Some experts believe that Israel has won many battles,
23:46but has lost the war.
23:48What do you think?
23:50I think that the war has not yet won,
23:53but I have noticed that there is something very dangerous
23:57in the declaration of the Prime Minister,
23:59who said that we are changing the strategic relationship with the Middle East.
24:05And that brings us back to 20 years ago,
24:09when there was this desire to redraw a new Middle Eastern landscape.
24:18I think that this is a dangerous initiative
24:23that will have to be put to an end.
24:26Otherwise, this part of the world,
24:28which is strategically, economically and geopolitically important,
24:33is at risk of settling in the abyss.
24:37And this is what should be avoided.
24:41Hassan Zahaoud, thank you for answering our questions.
24:46I remind you that you are an expert in strategy and security.
24:53Thank you, Madam, for your invitation.
24:57And thank you.
24:58This is the end of this newscast.
24:59Thank you for following it.
