00:00We are still together on MEDIEN-TV, thank you for remaining faithful to us.
00:20Here are the headlines of your newspaper.
00:22In Syria, no time for thanks for the new authorities.
00:26Today, a security operation has begun in the province of Tartus to track down militias loyal to Bashar al-Assad.
00:37After a series of Israeli strikes in Yemen, Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken today.
00:42For the Israeli Prime Minister, his country will continue to strike the rebels until the work is done.
00:49In Mozambique, the opposition continues to demonstrate against the victory of the party in power in the elections on October 9.
00:59The post-electoral violence of the last three days has killed 125 people.
01:08Once is not customary, we start this newspaper with the weather in Morocco.
01:12This Saturday, snowfalls are expected in several provinces according to the General Directorate of Meteorology.
01:22They will continue until Monday in the provinces of Midel, Tazilal, Ben Mellal, Tinrir, Al Houth and Ouarzazate.
01:31The same phenomenon is also expected during the same period in the provinces of Ifran, Shishawa, Tarroudant and Boulmane.
01:43More than 3,300 licenses have been awarded. The bar of 4,000 tons of production has exceeded.
01:49In Morocco, the National Agency for the Regulation of Cannabis-Related Activities has presented its annual report.
01:57In this report, ADRAC tells us that there have been no violations this year regarding the regulation in force of positive notes.
02:06ADRAC is committed to doubling efforts in 2025 to consolidate, promote and better structure initiatives,
02:13even guaranteeing operators optimal conditions of accessibility to the international market.
02:20Let's listen together to Mohamed El Guerrouj, General Director of ADRAC.
02:25Today, within our Board of Directors, we have presented the achievements of 2024 and the action program of 2025.
02:35For 2024, we have presented all the business actions with institutions, concerned ministries and local authorities
02:45to support farmers and investors and, above all, to respect regulatory provisions.
02:54This year, there were almost 4,000 tons of production on a surface area of 2,169 hectares.
03:03It should be noted that no violations in terms of non-compliance with regulatory provisions have been recorded.
03:10For 2025, we have also presented an action plan, which is mainly based on the continuity of actions and operations,
03:19of framing, of support and, above all, of control,
03:22but with a focus on the acceleration of the structuring and development of the cannabis sector
03:28and the strengthening and consolidation of the competitiveness of the national product.
03:34With us to continue to talk about this sector of legal cannabis,
03:38Professor Rabih Redouane, President of the Moroccan Association for the Consultation of Cannabis Use.
03:46Rabih Redouane, good evening and thank you for accepting our invitation.
03:50You are live from Casablanca.
03:53Good evening for the invitation and, of course, after these results, which are very ...
04:00Rabih Redouane, good evening and thank you for accepting our invitation.
04:07We have just seen it, Landrak has published today its annual report with a lot of figures.
04:14The National Agency for Regulation of Cannabis-Related Activities
04:18is committed to doubling its efforts for the development of the cannabis sector in a legal framework.
04:25First, have the objectives of these two years of activities been achieved?
04:32Indeed, we can say that they were achieved and more,
04:35because the fact that, above all, to put in place this agency system on traceability,
04:44on no infringement and the beginning is very difficult.
04:47And I congratulate Landrak for this role that has been realized.
04:52We have a record time, I would say two years,
04:56and above all, a start-up of a machine that will take the road with good conditions.
05:02The grains that came there, they were ...
05:05Above all, what I applaud is that we have moved to Abledia, a large part of Abledia 50%.
05:11This is something that we have in America for a long time,
05:16to talk about it and above all to focus on this product, which is original from Morocco,
05:21which will make a product from Morocco a unique product in the world.
05:26Very encouraging figures.
05:29But how to improve the performance of this sector in terms of market, recipes, but also employment?
05:37I would say that already the platform has been made.
05:41And really, it is impossible to put in place this system that was made with success.
05:47And what we can improve a lot more, it's true, we can't do everything at the same time.
05:51But that, as a medical side that interests us, it's true, it's an opening.
05:56There, what was already among the things that we applauded, talked about and asked for,
06:02is to set up a national laboratory,
06:07especially dedicated to the quality of the calamis, which will be for the medical.
06:13Because you know very well, it requires much more, much more sophisticated analysis.
06:19And this will give us a unique and better quality.
06:22And especially the overseas countries will have access and the ease of access to these products.
06:29But in any case, I applaud the efforts that have been made.
06:33And the path of our representatives and people,
06:39the actors of cannabis at the level of the different world congresses this year,
06:45who were very active and who were able to show the image and change the image of Morocco
06:50towards an equalization of cannabis.
06:54It is important that you have done socio-economic, we can see very well,
06:57the training of cooperatives, the jobs are increased,
07:02the people of the region are occupied by a work that is productive
07:07and that begins to exceed the Moroccan territory
07:11and be exported and represent the image of Morocco internationally.
07:16But I am optimistic about the work that has been done and what will be done in 2025,
07:21as the Director of the Agency said.
07:23In other words, the industry is on the right track.
07:27But isn't there a need today to review the marketing strategy
07:32to better position itself internationally?
07:35Yes, it remains on quality.
07:37Now we have done the production, we have tested all the products,
07:42the machine is running.
07:46Now all the projects that we do around the world,
07:49the quality comes last.
07:51This is what is being done in the city of Diyar,
07:54a very good idea that was realized and well managed.
07:58Half of it was in the city of Diyar,
08:00and this is a really, really miraculous thing.
08:06And I applaud that.
08:08And this is what will give the demarcation of Morocco,
08:12with this product, to the international market
08:15and that there will be no competition in this direction.
08:19Javier Edouane, thank you for all these details.
08:22Thank you for answering our questions.
08:30We continue this edition in Syria,
08:33where there is no time for thanks for the new authorities.
08:36They launched today a security operation in the province of Tartus
08:41to track down militias loyal to Bashar al-Assad.
08:46Report of this operation.
08:47Three deaths according to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights.
08:50Operation carried out the day after a bloody clash
08:53with armed men affiliated with the anti-regime.
08:56The new authorities also faced a series of demonstrations
09:00of the minority at the 8th, of which the president was defeated.
09:04It all started with a video showing an attack against a sanctuary
09:08that was set on fire in Aleppo.
09:10According to the Ministry of the Interior,
09:12this video is old and dates from the takeover of Aleppo
09:16by the rebels on December 1st.
09:22In this context, Hamas and Israel have accused each other
09:25of stalling negotiations to reach a truce in Gaza.
09:29And for Mohamed Rajei Barakat, an expert in international relations,
09:34the main point of blockade is whether or not to cease fire
09:40and essentially the governance of the Gaza Strip after the war.
09:44Together we listen to him.
09:46In fact, as you just said,
09:48both parties reject the responsibility for the failure of the negotiations.
09:52But it must be noted that since the beginning of the war,
09:58of the massacres in the Gaza Strip,
10:03the Israeli party promises, and also the Egyptian, Qatari and American negotiators,
10:13each time we hear that the negotiations are over.
10:17So it's been more than 14 months since the negotiations are over.
10:20And nothing is actually moving forward.
10:23The Israeli party negotiates just to buy time.
10:27And Netanyahu continues his project of emptying the Gaza Strip from its inhabitants,
10:35the destruction of buildings and cities in the Gaza Strip,
10:40in order to control militarily the entire Gaza Strip
10:46and annex it to the State of Israel.
10:50In fact, the Palestinian party claims the departure of all Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.
10:58Israel does not want that.
11:00And it wants to keep the security control over the Gaza Strip.
11:04So this is an important point for which there is disagreement between the two parties.
11:10In addition, the Israeli party demands
11:14that all hostages be released immediately.
11:19There are a hundred hostages in the hands of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
11:26And the Palestinians also demand that Israel allow dozens of prisoners.
11:38There are about 10,000 prisoners in Israeli prisons.
11:43So there is also disagreement on this plan.
11:47The hopes of reaching a very vast Gaza Strip are shattered.
11:51The Israeli army continues to pillage the Palestinian enclave.
11:54It targeted today, in the vehicle of the Palestinian television Al Quds Today,
11:59in the refugee camp of Nusayrat.
12:02There were five journalists on board.
12:04All were killed.
12:06In a statement, the Israeli army published the names of the five dead,
12:10qualifying them as active members of a terrorist group
12:13who pretended to be journalists.
12:20Nothing stops him.
12:22He remains right in his boots despite the calls for calm.
12:24After a series of Israeli strikes in Yemen,
12:27Benjamin Netanyahu has spoken today.
12:30For the Israeli Prime Minister,
12:32his country will continue to strike the rebels
12:35until, I quote,
12:37the work is done.
12:39On Monday, he asked Assad to destroy the rebels' infrastructures,
12:44of which a missile had hit Tel Aviv two days earlier,
12:48in the center of Israel.
12:52In Mozambique, the opposition continues to protest
12:55against the victory of the party in power in the elections on October 9.
12:59In the country, the post-electoral violence of the last three days
13:03has killed 125 people, according to the NGO Pataforma Decider.
13:07The day before, still in the country,
13:09the spectacular evasion of 1,500 detainees
13:12from the great prison of the capital, Maputo,
13:15killed 33 people, among the escapees,
13:18which, according to several NGOs,
13:21is the result of the demonstrations that followed the October strike
13:24to 252 deaths in a country that had not experienced such violence
13:29since the end of the civil war.
13:34Less than two months after the surprise announcement
13:38of the suspension by Yamena of the military agreement with Paris,
13:42France has withdrawn a first military base in Tchad, in Fayah,
13:47in the extreme north of the country.
13:50The personnel and equipment of this base
13:54will regain France in the coming days.
13:57This withdrawal of the military base in Fayah
14:01will be followed by that of Abeche and Yamena in the coming weeks.
14:11After the failed coup d'etat of the president,
14:14now defeated in Chukyo in early December,
14:17the Republic of Korea opens a new chapter in its political crisis.
14:21The opposition has indeed filed a motion of resignation
14:25against the president in the interim,
14:28and accuses him of refusing to grant three vacant seats
14:33to the Constitutional Court,
14:36which must in six months validate or invalidate
14:39the resignation of President Yoon Suk-hyen.
14:46Bird or Russian strike,
14:48what caused the accident of the J-2 flight 8243?
14:53Many questions are suspended at the moment.
14:56The day after the crash in Kazakhstan,
14:59an Azerbaijan Airlines plane to Russia
15:03made 38 deaths.
15:05Experts have mentioned the possibility
15:07that the aircraft carrying 67 people
15:12was shot down by mistake by the Russian air defense.
15:16Russian and Kazakh authorities have warned
15:20against hypotheses and speculation.
15:26People in mourning and tears
15:29prayed today during a ceremony
15:32organized in several Asian countries
15:34to mark the 20th anniversary of the most deadly tsunami
15:38in the history of more than 220,000 deaths.
15:43It was December 26, 2004.
15:46On that day,
15:48a 9.1 magnitude earthquake
15:50hit the west coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra,
15:54generating huge waves
15:56that swept over Indonesia, Sri Lanka,
15:59India, Thailand and nine other countries
16:02in the Indian Ocean,
16:04with victims up to Somalia.
16:12Morocco is still on the side of Palestine,
16:15as evidenced by the figures of the Beytmel Al-Quds Agency,
16:19chaired by His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
16:22During 2024,
16:25this agency carried out projects and programs
16:28estimated at more than 4.2 million dollars
16:31in health, education and culture.
16:35These projects have been carried out in several dynamic sectors.
16:40In 2024, the Beytmel Al-Quds Agency
16:43will carry out projects worth more than 4.2 million dollars
16:48despite the difficult security situation.
16:51According to the director of the agency, Mohammed Selim Chalkawi,
16:54these projects are divided into the social assistance program,
16:58the arts, heritage and cultural industries sector,
17:02as well as the childhood, youth and sports sector.
17:05These achievements also include
17:08the support for emerging Palestinian enterprise projects,
17:11projects in the sector of education, human development
17:14as well as prevention and medication programs
17:17in the budget allocated to the health sector.
17:21These budgets were intended to support the population of the Holy City
17:29in difficult conditions, of course,
17:32but they had a positive impact on the people
17:38and institutions of the Holy City
17:41and we continue, under the direct supervision of His Majesty the King,
17:45to ensure our mission to support the city,
17:49to preserve its civilizational heritage
17:53and to help its populations.
17:55The agency also allocated an exceptional budget of about 400,000 dollars,
18:009% of this year's achievements.
18:03The goal is to support the educational system in the Gaza Strip.
18:07Note that this budget has benefited the Azhar University of Gaza
18:11with the grant of scholarships for some 318 students
18:14enrolled in the Hassan II Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
18:18The local populations deserve considerable support.
18:25Today, assured by the Kingdom of Morocco,
18:28which remains the only contributor,
18:31the only donor of the agency up to 100%,
18:35not only in terms of the voluntary contributions of the countries,
18:38but also in terms of the contributions of the institutions and individuals.
18:44In addition, the humanitarian operation ordered by King Mohammed VI
18:48for the Palestinians of Gaza and Al-Quds
18:51during the last month of Ramadan
18:53has been another strong moment
18:55that shows the Moroccan solidarity towards the Palestinian brothers.
18:59This has enabled hand-in-hand aid to the beneficiaries
19:04through unprecedented landings.
19:07In this sense, the agency supervised this operation in Al-Quds
19:11by distributing 2,200 food baskets,
19:15benefiting about 3,000 families, as well as 30,000 meals.
19:20As for the economic and social situation,
19:23the indicators of the Arrebat Observatory affiliated with the agency
19:27have generally remained worrying this year, as in 2023.
19:31And for good reason.
19:32The conditions are linked, in particular, to the cost of living and housing,
19:36to the increase in unemployment and poverty.
19:41We continue this newspaper to come back on this important step
19:44concerning the revision of the family code in Morocco.
19:48The issue of Ijtihad is now at the heart of the reform.
19:52What are the points established by the association?
19:55I come out in order to elaborate a new version of the Moudawana.
19:59Let's listen together to Rizlen Benachir,
20:02a founding member of the Josour Forum of Moroccan Women.
20:08Before answering the question directly, I would like to remind you of a fact.
20:11At Josour, in 1996, we organized a conference on women and Ijtihad in Islam.
20:19This is to tell you that for us, this is a very important point.
20:23We are in a country where our Islam is a moderate, open, tolerant Islam.
20:28Therefore, Ijtihad for us, in this context, is very important.
20:32And this is how we can evolve in view of the change in our Moroccan society,
20:38in view of the change in the family context,
20:41and also in view of the evolution of women,
20:45of their participation, both in economic and logistical participation,
20:51and in the education of their children.
20:53Their role is increasingly important.
20:56And so, today, their role is more important.
21:01And so, we have to take this into account,
21:03and we have to give them a place.
21:07In 2004, we did not yet have the constitution of 2011.
21:11So, this is also a point that seems extremely important to me.
21:15Today, the Moroccan woman, according to the constitution,
21:20the constitution gives her more rights,
21:22and considers her as an equal citizen of man with his rights and duties.
21:30So, for me, this is a very important point.
21:32And for us, Ijtihad, I mean,
21:36this is what will allow us to have a harmonization,
21:41I mean, a harmonization between the constitution and the family code,
21:48and also the entire Moroccan legal arsenal, as stipulated by the constitution.
21:54Can we say that this initial revision of the family code
21:58was carried out as a compromise between the imperatives of modernity
22:03and the respect for the religious and cultural values of the kingdom?
22:07Let's listen to Latifa Bouchoua,
22:10member of the National Office of the Federation of Women's Rights League.
22:16First of all, we are now talking in Morocco about a substantial, global,
22:21and profound reform of the family code.
22:25Not a small reform of the articles,
22:29but it is an opportunity to review the entire family code,
22:33of course, under the guidelines that have been accepted in general.
22:40But we will have the opportunity to reinforce and deepen.
22:45The question of reconciliation between modernity and traditionality,
22:52I believe that the path is towards equity, justice and equality.
23:01Because reconciliation is also allying with the international and universal norms of human rights.
23:10And I believe that this incitement of the King to the Council of the Superior Deans
23:16has created this framework for continuous jurisprudence,
23:21in order to solve all the problems that arise at the level of the family and society,
23:30and to be in line with the moment we live in,
23:36and the problems that may arise in the future.
23:43Because this is reconciliation,
23:48and going towards a progressive reform of the family,
23:55of the family code, and of Morocco, of all of Morocco.
24:00In unity, of course.
24:032024, a year that Bouchra Karboubi will not forget.
24:07The distinctions are linked.
24:09For the Moroccan, she was ranked 5th best female referee in the world
24:14by the International Federation of History and Football Statistics,
24:18as part of CEWERT.
24:20A consecration that takes place a few days after the ceremony of the Café World,
24:25during which Bouchra Karboubi was awarded
24:29the prestigious award of best African female referee of the year.
24:35The first Arab woman to hold a meeting of the CAD as the main referee in Côte d'Ivoire.
24:42She was also whistleblower during the Women's World Cup
24:47organized last year in Australia and New Zealand.
24:52This is the end of this report.
24:54Thank you for following it.
24:55In a few moments, a new point on the news.
