00:00Good evening and welcome to Mediain TV, thank you for joining us for a new newscast, here are the headlines.
00:22The Moroccan government has adopted a decree to improve the salaries of the private sector.
00:28This decree plans to increase the minimum wage by 5% in non-agricultural and agricultural activities.
00:38Gatherings of several families today in Damascus to call on the new authorities on the fate of their loved ones who have disappeared in the prisons of the former Syrian government.
00:46Families demand justice for the victims.
00:52The German legislative elections will take place on February 23. President Frank-Walter Steinmeier announced this Friday the dissolution of the parliament.
01:01The government council met yesterday in Rabat to adopt a decree on the implementation of commitments related to the improvement of the salaries of the private sector.
01:13Commitments made in the social-tripartite agreement signed between the government, the most representative trade unions and the professional organizations of the employers.
01:21This decree plan provides for an increase of the minimum wage by 5% in agricultural and non-agricultural activities.
01:29The minimum wage will be 17 dirhams per hour in non-agricultural activities.
01:33And as of April 1, 2025, the minimum wage paid for a day of work in agricultural activities will be set at 93 dirhams.
01:46The Minister of Justice presented this Thursday in front of the government council an exhibition on the implementation of proposals relating to the revision of the family code.
01:53This exhibition was presented in accordance with the royal instructions during the work session on the revision of the family code, presided by His Majesty on December 23.
02:06This is what the spokesman for the government, Mustafa Baytas, said at the end of the council.
02:10No less than 100 proposals have emerged from the consultations conducted by the institute in charge of the revision of the family code.
02:19On how to consider the implementation of these provisions of the family code project, I propose to listen to the analysis of Sharafat Efeilel, president of the forum Parity and Equality.
02:31First of all, I would just like to underline that we have received with great satisfaction the great values of this reform, which have been revealed by the Minister of Justice.
02:42And we are delighted with the progress that has been made after an approach of extensive consultation and participation of all components of society, of different political and social bodies.
02:58So now the ball is in the court of these components of society to play their role, fully their role, in order to raise awareness of the very important scope of this reform.
03:12So now it is the role of the components of society, of the feminist movement, of the democratic movement, of all associations of human rights, of civil society, to fully play their role,
03:25in order to avoid any deformation, any drift that could arise during the implementation of this reform.
03:33So as long as we have pledged for the reform, it is our role now to pledge to explain, to demystify certain concepts, certain nuances, so that society learns from this reform and adopts it.
03:51Four months after their integration into the 39th contingent, the calls for military service have integrated the various training centers of the Royal Army Forces.
04:01And we are now about to move on to the second phase of professional qualification, immersion in the air base of Muncimen, with our special envoy Avmoula Boukheles.
04:11After completing the stages of the basic military training, the calls for military service of the 39th contingent have sworn in the presence of officers and staff of the Royal Army Forces.
04:25The two calls have followed in the last four months a training focused, among other things, on civic and physical education.
04:33This first phase of training has allowed me to learn many skills, such as discipline, patience, and above all, commitment.
04:46Qualities that are very useful to me in my professional and personal life.
04:54This first phase is an important experience, full of challenges and motivation. Now we are going to start a specialized professional training.
05:06It is a step that requires more effort and dedication to be up to the task.
05:14The second phase of eight months will be dedicated to professional training in several specialties that take into account their skills and their level of study.
05:27Depending on the results of the first phase, the calls will integrate different specialties that will allow them to improve their professional knowledge.
05:40I am confident that they will be able to develop their practical skills to meet the needs of the job market.
05:53In addition to a military parade, this ceremony is marked by theatrical and musical performances, interpreted by the calls.
06:00It is closed by the handing over of prizes to the laureates of the national games of the calls.
06:06The Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed missile attacks and drones against Israel in a statement.
06:11They announced that they had fired a missile at Ben Gurion airport and Tel Aviv.
06:16The Israeli aggression will only increase the determination of the Yemeni people to continue to support the Palestinian people, added the Houthis in a statement.
06:25These strikes come after Israeli strikes aimed on Thursday at sites controlled by the Yemeni Houthis, including Sana'a airport, where the head of the OMS was located.
06:35Reporting on these Israeli attacks, Seymour.
06:41A silent crowd gathered this Friday in Damascus to question the new authorities on the fate of their loved ones who disappeared in the prisons of the old regime.
06:50The families demand justice for the victims of the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
06:58On the place of Hijaz, in the center of Damascus, several dozen demonstrators brandished photos of the members of their families, carried missing.
07:06The fate of tens of thousands of prisoners and missing people constitutes one of the most painful aspects of the Syrian drama.
07:12We are here today, families of the disappeared and former detainees.
07:18We come from different regions of Syria to say that our search for our loved ones has not yet ceased.
07:23And it will not stop until we have found the complete truth about what happened to them.
07:28We want to know who is responsible for their detention, who tortured them, if they were killed, who killed them and where they were buried.
07:36During the reign of Bashar al-Assad, the Syrians were imprisoned, tortured and killed.
07:43Three NGOs called on the new authorities to take measures to preserve evidence of the atrocities committed by the Assad regime.
07:50The families do not know when or how their loved ones left.
07:54They have not heard from them for a long time.
07:57The last news I received from my son was that he had been hit on the head, suffering from cerebral hemorrhage, and that he was dead.
08:07It was the last news I heard about him. After that, I don't know anything else.
08:16Thursday, security forces arrested a general in the west of the country who was in charge of military justice under the old regime.
08:24He is accused of being responsible for the death sentence of thousands of people detained at the infamous prison of Sayyed Naya after an expeditious trial.
08:35The new Syrian authorities have arrested this Thursday a leader of Bashar al-Assad's fallen power, considered responsible for many death sentences.
08:43The operation to arrest General Mohamed Kanjo Hassan was launched on Wednesday by the security forces in Tartoz, in the locality of Kherbas al-Mazah,
08:52according to the Syrian observatory of human rights, Mohamed Kanjo Hassan committed the death sentence of thousands of people
08:58during an expeditious trial to indicate Diab Seria, co-founder of the Association of Detainees and Disappeared from the prison of Sayyed Naya.
09:08Yes, of course, the problem is that we have gone through a phase of euphoria that lasted a few days, a few weeks.
09:13It is quite normal after a regime that lasted so long, if we take into account the father and the son.
09:19And here we see that reality reappears, resurfaces after euphoria, with the different tensions that could exist between the regions.
09:27Tensions that are based either on ethnic issues, for example the Kurds of the north-east with the rest of the population who are mainly Arab,
09:35or confessional, the Alawites who are on the coast, in particular in Tartoz and Al-Ataki,
09:41who are a minority who were in power with the Assad for 54 years and who are now a minority without a protector.
09:49And so we see that these tensions, both ethnic and confessional, are the reality of Syria in 2024, soon 2025,
09:56and that the new leaders will obviously have to try to reconcile the oppositions and try to find solutions.
10:04And that's what they tried to do, for example, by wanting to create a renewed Syrian army,
10:10and by asking the different militias, the different factions, to drop their weapons.
10:14Some of them accepted quite easily, others much less, and others categorically refused.
10:19So here we are really entering the hard part.
10:21The Israeli army is bombing one of the last functioning hospitals in the north of the Palestinian enclave.
10:27These new Israeli attacks, carried out near the Kamala Douane hospital in Beit Lerya,
10:31occur the day after the death of five members of the medical staff of the establishment in an Israeli strike.
10:37The Israeli authorities have indicated that the occupation army has taken over the hospital,
10:41forcing the staff, the patients, the wounded and the people displaced to evacuate.
10:50The German legislative elections will be held on February 23.
10:54President Frank-Walter Steinmeier announced this Friday the dissolution of the parliament,
10:59a decision awaited after the implosion of the governmental coalition of Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
11:04The political stability in Germany is rightly a great asset,
11:07said the head of state.
11:09And according to the polls, the conservative opposition is a big favorite of this scrutiny,
11:13in front of the far-right party, the AfD, and the social-democratic party.
11:22In Senegal, Ousmane Sonko made today his declaration of general policy.
11:27A very long speech, nine months after taking office.
11:30The head of government was expected on several subjects,
11:33including youth, the high cost of living, the economic situation of the country,
11:36or the consolidation of democracy.
11:38And in front of the deputies, he announced a project to abrogate the law of amnesty of former president Macky Sall.
11:48The Senegalese prime minister also announced the withdrawal of all foreign military bases in the country.
11:55Ousmane Sonko, I invite you to listen.
11:58In terms of defense sovereignty,
12:01the President of the Republic announced the closing of all foreign military bases in Senegal.
12:13Finally, in terms of Senegal's foreign policy,
12:16new bases have been thrown,
12:19namely the return to orthodoxy in the Senegalese diplomatic representation abroad,
12:24with the accreditation of career diplomats,
12:27as well as the focus on strengthening cooperation with African countries.
12:33In Chad, France has just withdrawn a first military base,
12:37that of FAYA, in the far north of the country.
12:39This departure occurs less than a month after the surprise announcement of the suspension by Jamena
12:43of the military agreement with Paris.
12:45The explanations with Raja Engo.
12:48Chad decides to break its military cooperation with France.
12:52Nearly 54 French military vehicles have left the military base of FAYA
12:57in the direction of the capital Jamena.
12:59A French Antonov 124 aircraft also took off the same day from the Chad capital.
13:05On board, more than 80 tons of freight.
13:07About 1,000 soldiers and French military personnel were stationed in Chad
13:12before the start of the war.
13:15According to the French Army Chief of Staff,
13:17about thirty soldiers were stationed in FAYA
13:20and the withdrawal will be followed by that of Abiché and Jamena in the coming weeks.
13:25The withdrawal of French soldiers from Africa continues.
13:28Chad is the fourth country in the Sahel
13:30to ask for the end of military cooperation with France.
13:33The French withdrawal follows the decision of Chad
13:36to announce the withdrawal of French troops from Africa.
13:40According to President Mohamed Idrissi Déby,
13:42in power since 2021,
13:44these agreements were completely obsolete
13:46in the face of the current political and geostrategic realities.
13:52In South Korea, two presidents have pushed for the exit

15:41We sincerely hope that the political uncertainty
15:43that threatens the economy of our country
15:45and our national security does not worsen.
15:47We also call for the cooperation
15:49of the parties in power and the opposition.
15:51of the parties in power and the opposition.
15:53Current political disturbances
15:55have impacted the economic sector of Korea.
15:57Friday morning,
15:59even before the announcement of the resignation,
16:01the Korean won plunged,
16:03against the dollar,
16:05to its lowest level in nearly 16 years.
16:07In 2024,
16:09more than 10,400 migrants died
16:11or disappeared at sea
16:13while attempting to reach the Spanish coasts.
16:15According to a report by the NGO Caminando Fronteras,
16:17published this Thursday,
16:19the year 2024 was marked by a record migratory flow
16:21towards the Canary Islands archipelago.
16:23Explanations with Dina Mereni.
16:25The year 2024 recorded an explosion
16:27of migrant deaths
16:29while attempting to reach the Spanish coasts.
16:31More than 10,400 migrants
16:33found death
16:35or disappeared at sea this year.
16:37According to the latest report
16:39of the Spanish NGO
16:41for the Defense of Migrant Rights,
16:43Caminando Fronteras,
16:45the total number of deaths
16:47rose by 58%
16:49compared to 2023.
16:51The vast majority of these human losses
16:53took place along
16:55the Atlantic road,
16:57considered the most dangerous in the world.
16:59This circuit saw tens of thousands
17:01of people leave
17:03Western African countries
17:05to try to win the Canary Islands,
17:07which are increasingly used
17:09as a gateway to continental Europe.
17:11The Spanish NGO
17:13also highlighted a strong increase
17:15in boats
17:17leaving Mauritania in 2024.
17:19The country then becomes
17:21the main starting point
17:23for migrants heading
17:25to the Canary Islands.
17:27Caminando Fronteras,
17:29which alerts maritime authorities
17:31about the presence of boats in distress,
17:33evokes the sad record
17:35of 30 deaths per day on average
17:37between January and mid-December 2024.
17:39These data are based
17:41on the stories of migrant families
17:43and on the official statistics
17:45of the people rescued.
17:47Faced with this situation,
17:49the Malian authorities
17:51are less optimistic
17:53and describe this year
17:55as the deadliest.
17:57For their part,
17:59the Malian authorities
18:01have just announced
18:03the disappearance
18:05of some 70 migrants,
18:07including 25 Malians,
18:09in a new shipwreck
18:11in the Moroccan waters
18:13on its way to Spain.
18:15In Morocco,
18:17snowfalls are expected
18:19at altitudes over 1,500 metres.
18:21These snowfalls will affect
18:23the provinces of Middelt, Azila,
18:25Bnimlaltin, Gherlhaus and Ouarzazate
18:27where temperatures could drop
18:29to minus 5 degrees.
18:31The same phenomenon is expected
18:33in the provinces of Ifrane,
18:35Chichagua, Terodent and Boulmen.
18:37It is simply a stream
18:39from the north-east
18:41that comes to us from Siberia
18:43but also from Eastern Europe.
18:45This stream
18:47that we mentioned
18:49comes to us
18:51with a cold
18:53which is very important for us
18:55as an African Mediterranean country.
18:57We are very sensitive to this cold.
18:59So it penetrates
19:01the country from the north
19:05on the
19:07middle of the plain,
19:09on the upper plain
19:11and even reaches
19:13the oases
19:15of the Moroccan Sahel.
19:17This is very beneficial
19:19for the Sahel.
19:21It will feed
19:23the water points
19:25in these regions
19:27and it is a good thing.
19:31It is an atmospheric circulation
19:33called meridian.
19:35Meridian
19:37is an
19:39undulating circulation
19:41that comes
19:43from the west-east
19:45but also undulates
19:47with planetary ridges
19:49and valleys.
19:51These are situations
19:53that have developed
19:55due to global warming
19:57and due to the
19:59specific
20:01distribution
20:03between the ocean
20:05and the continent of the energy balance.
20:07Thus, the ocean
20:09is warmer than the continent
20:11and from there,
20:13its contract has undulated.
20:15This
20:17did not happen
20:19during the cold seasons
20:21but due to
20:23this
20:25planetary warming,
20:27this circulation
20:29has already settled
20:31in 2006 and it has given
20:33the return of rains and floods
20:35in the northern hemisphere in general.
20:37Today,
20:39we are in a phase of pre-
20:41and post-cyclone
20:43and the pre-cyclone
20:45is stronger than
20:47it was before
20:49and from there,
20:51these flows are undulating.
20:53If this circulation
20:55persists
20:57and these undulations
20:59continue to come from the north,
21:01not from the north-east,
21:03it is a good thing
21:05for the return of water in the south.
21:07In a few days of the New Year,
21:09it is the bustle in Marrakech.
21:11Small shops, restaurants
21:13and hotel establishments
21:15are preparing to welcome
