00:00Good evening and welcome to Mediain TV, thank you for joining us for the main news.
00:20In Sochi took place the first ministerial conference of the Russian-African Partnership Forum,
00:27in which the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs took part.
00:32Two Israeli strikes targeting two houses have killed about thirty people in Gaza
00:37and among the victims, 13 children.
00:41Qatar suspends its mediation between Israel and Hamas.
00:44Qatari authorities call on both parties to show willingness to put an end to hostilities.
00:52Let's start in Sochi.
00:53Nasser El-Boleta is taking part in the first ministerial conference of the Russian-African Partnership Forum.
00:58This first conference brings together the ministers of foreign affairs, Russia and African states
01:03to identify future cooperation perspectives to better meet the expectations of African states.
01:09His Majesty's vision for partnerships and development in Africa
01:13and royal initiatives for the continent have been highlighted by Nasser El-Boleta.
01:21We stay in Sochi.
01:22Nasser El-Boleta also met with Sergey Lavrov to discuss bilateral issues
01:27and exchange views on regional and international issues of common interest.
01:31The rich and old relations between Morocco and Russia are carried out by the deepened strategic partnership
01:36launched by His Majesty King Mohammed VI and President Vladimir Putin
01:40during the royal visit to Moscow in 2016.
01:46Russia promises its full support to African countries present at a conference held in Sochi.
01:50The event, which brought together about 50 African countries,
01:53follows the Russian-African Summit of 2019 and 2023.
01:56Explanations with Soheil Jalil.
02:01The ambition is clear.
02:02Russia wants to impose itself as an essential partner of Africa.
02:07The city of Sochi hosted this weekend a Russian-African ministerial conference.
02:12The African continent must be and will be one of the centers of the multipolar world,
02:16said Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister,
02:20during the closing ceremony of this conference.
02:28We are happy to note that the pace set by the two previous summits
02:31contributes to developing our relations on a growing scale.
02:35We see progress in all areas.
02:37I would like to note a significant increase in the number of contacts at the highest level and ministerial level.
02:44In particular, during bilateral meetings on the eve of the conference,
02:48agreements were concluded on several specific projects
02:51and memorandums were signed in various areas.
03:00According to Lavrov, Russia and African countries see progress in all areas of their cooperation,
03:06despite the artificial obstacles posed by the collective Occident,
03:10a term used by Moscow to designate the United States as their ally.
03:14He also ensured that the Russians and Africans
03:17consider it necessary to get rid of dependence on global mechanisms
03:21controlled by the West, especially in the financial field.
03:25This conference took place after the BRICS summit in October in Kazan,
03:29where Vladimir Putin wanted to demonstrate the failure of the policy of isolation
03:33and sanctions imposed by the West.
03:37In the southern provinces of Morocco,
03:40a strong delegation of political advisers from several Arab embassies has been made today.
03:44The delegation consists of Nathalie Merville-Dauzen,
03:47Chief of Joint Mission of the Swiss-Arabian Embassy,
03:50Michael Pauly, Political Adviser of the Belgian Embassy,
03:53Philippe Tungler, First Secretary of the German Embassy,
03:56Ernest Schütte, also First Secretary of the Netherlands Embassy,
03:59and Izzy Koumer, Second Political Secretary of the Arab Embassy.
04:03The latter will make a five-day visit to Lyon and Dakhla.
04:09The Ministry of Justice and the Order of the Lawyers of Morocco
04:12reached an agreement yesterday to institutionalize the dialogue between the two parties.
04:16The meeting that took place at the Ministry of Justice
04:18at the invitation of the commissions of the two chambers of the Parliament
04:21also resulted in the formation of joint commissions
04:24to examine the projects of law related to justice.
04:27The first meetings of the commissions will begin next week.
04:33Let's now talk about the quarterly report of the Competition Council.
04:36Report on the fuel market, training in fuel prices.
04:40Soheil Gelil tells us more.
04:44The Competition Council reveals the downsides of the Moroccan fuel market
04:49in the second quarter of 2024.
04:51The figures speak for themselves.
04:53The report underlines a drop in international quotations for refined products
04:57which did not have a total impact on fuel prices.
05:01For diesel, the drop in international quotations
05:04is 0.98 dirhams per litre
05:07while the drop in the national average price is only 0.64 dirhams.
05:13As for fuel, the drop in impact is even less significant.
05:17A reduction of 0.87 dirhams
05:20compared to only 0.19 dirhams for the pump price.
05:24This difference is explained by the adjustments made by the operators
05:28on their purchase costs and stock shifts
05:31but also by margins that could raise questions.
05:35In the second quarter of 2024,
05:37fuel imports increased by 11.2% in volume
05:41and 15.9% in value compared to 2023
05:44with 1.65 million tonnes for 14 billion dirhams.
05:49This increase is partly attributable to the increase in the number of distributors to be created
05:53which is now 31,
05:55two more than in the previous quarter.
05:57Diesel remains the pillar of this market
05:59with 88% of the volumes imported,
06:01fuel only representing 12%.
06:04The distribution network is progressing
06:06with 36 new service stations during the quarter
06:09bringing the total to 3,447.
06:12Nearly three quarters of the stations belong to the nine major companies
06:16showing a strong concentration of the market.
06:19Possible sales have slightly dropped by 2%
06:21but the number of business transactions has still increased by 2.8%
06:25reaching nearly 19 billion dirhams.
06:28The report still notes a downward trend in gross margins for distributors
06:32which is now 1.21 dirhams per litre for diesel
06:36and 1.79 dirhams for fuel.
06:39Levels falling compared to the first quarter of 2024.
06:45Two Israeli airstrikes targeting two houses
06:47killed 30 people, including 13 children, in the Gaza Strip.
06:50Palestinian rescuers also staged an Israeli strike
06:53targeting a house in the Sabra neighborhood in Rezavil
06:56which killed five people and took them away.
06:58At least 51 people lost their lives in the last 24 hours
07:01and more than 43,600 Palestinian civilians
07:04were killed in Israeli bombings in the Gaza Strip
07:07with the majority of the victims being civilians.
07:14Qatar decides to suspend its mediation
07:16between Israel and Hamas.
07:17Qatari authorities are calling on the two parties
07:19to show seriousness in the talks.
07:21Qatar's Foreign Affairs spokesman
07:23has declared that his country will resume negotiations
07:25if the two parties show willingness to put an end to hostilities.
07:29The only break in this conflict took place at the end of November 2023
07:32and allowed the release of a few Israeli hostages
07:35in exchange for Palestinians detained by Israel.
07:40Can we conclude that all the attempts made since the beginning of the year
07:44by Qatari, Egyptian and American mediators to put an end to hostilities in Gaza
07:48have failed?
07:49We listen to the answer of Amjad Cheheb, political analyst.
07:52Absolutely.
07:53I think that today,
07:57we are under enormous pressure
08:01from the US administration
08:03on the Hamas movement.
08:07We are trying to put pressure on the Hamas movement
08:11to make enormous concessions
08:14in favour of the Israeli conditions.
08:17Israel refuses to withdraw from the Gaza Strip.
08:23This is a condition requested by the Hamas movement.
08:27It also refuses to give a scenario
08:30on the detention of Palestinian prisoners.
08:34It also refuses to accept a durable ceasefire.
08:39It seeks to continue the war.
08:42It is illogical on the Palestinian side
08:45to accept, especially on the Hamas side,
08:48to accept the release of six prisoners
08:51in exchange for the return of the war.
08:54The only condition required
08:57is to put an end to the military aggression
09:00of the Israeli army.
09:03This condition, I think,
09:06the US administration faces a bit of pressure
09:10and Qatar is also trying to blackmail
09:14the Hamas movement
09:16if it does not accept
09:18to return the prisoners.
09:21Qatar will be forced to expel
09:24the political leadership of the Hamas movement
09:27from the territory of Qatar.
09:30In Lebanon, Israeli attacks continue
09:33to kill at least 23 people.
09:36Seven children were killed this Sunday
09:39in an Israeli strike targeting a town
09:42in the north of Beirut,
09:45in the region of Jbeil,
09:48where the Israeli strike also injured ten people.
09:51Lebanese authorities add that the report
09:54is still at risk of worsening.
09:57Human remains were removed from the rubble.
10:01Benjamin Netanyahu admitted to giving his green light
10:04to the Beeper attack against Hezbollah.
10:07The Israeli prime minister admitted
10:10for the first time this Sunday his involvement in this attack.
10:13He said at the Council of Ministers
10:16that he authorized this operation
10:19which had not been claimed until then.
10:22These attacks on the Beeper
10:25have killed tens of thousands of people.
10:28Donald Trump has announced
10:31that former US ambassador
10:34and ex-secretary of state Mike Pompeo
10:37will not be part of his government team.
10:48The new bitcoin record has more than 80,000 dollars.
10:51The first digital currency by capitalization
10:54has exceeded this threshold to reach a higher level
10:57before going down slightly.
11:00And since the results of the US presidential election,
11:03the bitcoin rate has climbed at the same time as the dollar.
11:06Donald Trump has indeed been engaged
11:09during his campaign to make the United States
11:12the world capital of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
11:15Egypt hosts more than 1.2 million Sudanese.
11:18Egypt has become the main host country
11:21for Sudanese fleeing the country at war.
11:24The UN High Commissioner for Refugees
11:27said that Sudanese are now two-thirds
11:30of the total population of refugees registered in Egypt.
11:33In April 2023, at the beginning of the war in Sudan,
11:36Egypt did not require visas for women, children
11:39and men over 50 years old.
11:42But in the face of the influx of refugees,
11:45authorities imposed an entry visa for all Sudanese,
11:48forcing some of them to resort to irregular crossings.
11:52The management of road corridors in Central Africa
11:55is at the heart of a meeting in Brazzaville.
11:58Experts from several countries have joined a regional dynamic
12:01to improve road infrastructure management
12:04and promote economic integration in the region.
12:07Explanations with Kavinos Waldukaga.
12:10Central African countries, all united in the framework
12:13of regional initiatives supported by organizations
12:16such as the World Bank and the European Union
12:19to promote the efficiency of transport and trade
12:22in the region through a better management
12:25of the corridors of Central Africa.
12:28About 20 years ago, the European Union was the initiator
12:31of the construction of regional corridors in Central Africa.
12:34It was about linking the countries to each other.
12:37So there are still a few to connect.
12:40For example, between Brazzaville and Bangui directly.
12:43It will be very interesting the day it will be done.
12:47But Brazzaville-Libreville, for example,
12:50already exists through OYO.
12:53The Brazzaville meeting brought together experts
12:56and government officials from several countries.
12:59Improving road and transport infrastructure
13:02will facilitate trade between these countries,
13:05said the experts.
13:08It is necessary to translate the will of the governors
13:11of the continent to reconnect the continent
13:14to ensure that trade between the countries is a reality.
13:18These types of transport lead us to the free trade zone.
13:21How can we trade if we don't have roads?
13:24How can we trade?
13:27We have to trade from east to west,
13:30from north to south, passing through the center.
13:33In Central Africa, several transport corridors
13:36play a crucial role in trade and economic development,
13:39especially for the enclaved countries.
13:43Better-maintained roads will reduce transport costs
13:46and transit time, which is crucial
13:49to stimulate intra-regional trade.
13:53In Mali, to address the many challenges
13:56faced by women in the media,
13:59La Femme en Moi, organized by a three-day camp,
14:02called Les Rencontres Colorées du Mali,
14:05a meeting attended by about twenty women journalists,
14:08bloggers, animators and feminist activists.
14:12This three-day camp, Les Rencontres Colorées du Mali,
14:15should allow better management
14:18and better media treatment of issues related
14:21to sexual violence, human rights violations
14:24and the impacts of climate change.
14:27These issues are often misunderstood
14:30and mistreated in the media,
14:33which is why we decided to make our modest contribution
14:36to the professionalization of the media sector
14:39by discussing how important these issues are in our society.
14:42The interactive sessions, the discussions
14:45through group work, the circle of speech
14:48and the interventions have had a significant impact
14:51on the participants and their way of addressing
14:54these issues from now on.
14:57That women have the same place as men in society,
15:00whether it is in all areas,
15:03and I leave this training being aware of these things.
15:06For the Minister of Promotion of Women, Children and Families,
15:09this initiative accompanies
15:12the efforts of her department
15:15in the fight against many human rights violations.
15:18It is imperative that all voices,
15:21especially those of women and girls,
15:24are heard from all sides.
15:27The women of the media you are,
15:30you have a crucial role to play
15:33in sensitizing and highlighting these issues.
15:36Having fought against gender-based violence
15:39and human rights violation,
15:42her battle horse,
15:45Canada, through its ambassador,
15:48rejoices in this initiative.
15:51The different priorities of Canadian cooperation here in Mali,
15:54and this is what justifies my presence
15:57on your side tonight.
16:00The objective of this meeting was to promote
16:03female leadership in the media,
16:06including an experience-sharing session
16:09with women media leaders and communicators
16:12in major institutions in the country.
16:15Guinean and Moroccan business leaders
16:18met in Conakry to strengthen trade
16:21between the two countries,
16:24an initiative led by the Moroccan Development Agency.
16:28Guinea and Morocco are renewing their cooperation
16:31through this meeting in Conakry.
16:34On an economic level, the actors concerned
16:37in the two countries have discussed
16:40the revitalization of trade.
16:43We are making sure that wherever there is a need
16:46to make a connection between the private sector
16:49and other countries,
16:52we must also drain it for our country.
16:55We are here to present the Moroccan society
16:58in the B2B export mission
17:01to create business partnerships
17:04that aim to find clients here in Guinea
17:07to export Moroccan products to the Guinean market
17:10and at the same time see the possibility
17:13of importing Guinean products to Morocco.
17:16Transactions between the two countries
17:19are still very weak.
17:22According to the Moroccan exchange,
17:25the Kingdom exported in 2023
17:28about 1,378 million dirhams,
17:31a significant GDP rate.
17:34But with these contacts,
17:37this trend will reverse according to the same source.
17:40Guinea is a vibrant country,
17:43a country that is moving.
17:46Many reforms have been undertaken recently.
17:49This is an opportunity for the Moroccan society
17:52to discuss with their brothers and sisters
17:55to join this dynamic of growth and development.
18:02Morocco is a country that is very ahead
18:05in these issues compared to Guinea.
18:08So seeing them arrive here in Guinea
18:11and having this opportunity
18:14is a great opportunity to seize.
18:17Konakry's meeting aims to exceed
18:20the $140 million shared annually
18:23by Guinea and Morocco in terms of trade.
18:26Meetings will therefore be multiplied
18:29to bring interests closer in a reciprocal way.
18:32This is the famous newspaper. Thank you for following it.
18:47You
