00:17Ladies and gentlemen, I am delighted to see you again for a new edition of the Média Morning. Here are the headlines.
00:23...
00:26Morocco celebrated this Madrid in January 1975. Prime Minister Aziz Hanoucha presided over a ceremony for the new year.
00:35More details in a moment.
00:37...
00:41At the final stage, the negotiations for a truce in Gaza accelerated after 15 months of a war between Israel and Hamas,
00:48which caused tens of thousands of deaths in Palestine.
00:52...
00:55And then in the United States, no rest in the fires. In Los Angeles, hot winds continue to blow on Tuesday night.
01:02On Wednesday, the flames have intensified in the second city of the United States for at least 25 hours.
01:11...
01:17This Tuesday, January 2, 1975, Morocco celebrated the new year in Mazir.
01:25On this occasion, the Mohamed V theater in Rabat hosted one of the celebration ceremonies presided over by the head of government,
01:35the Minister of Youth, Culture and Communication, as well as the Minister-Delegate in charge of the digital transition
01:43and the reform of the administration. Several agreements were signed during this ceremony,
01:49with the aim of favoring the use of the Amazigh language within public administrations and institutions.
01:58...
02:02In international news, the negotiators met to stop the fire in Gaza are looking for.
02:08This Wednesday ended an agreement at the final stage, according to Qatar, after 15 months of a war between Israel and Hamas,
02:16which caused tens of thousands of deaths in the Palestinian territory a few days after Donald Trump's return to the White House.
02:26On January 20, indirect discussions intensified.
02:30In Doha, we saw our dream associated with the release of hostages held in Gaza.
02:35Qatar, the main mediator country with the United States and Egypt,
02:39declared that the negotiations were at the final stage.
02:43The main problems, having been resolved, are, however, to specify which, according to sources close to Hamas,
02:4933 hostages should be released during the first phase of the agreement in exchange for a thousand Palestinians held by Israel.
02:57The captives would be released in groups, starting with children and women, according to one of them.
03:03The Israeli government has confirmed that it seeks to obtain the release of 33 hostages during the first phase
03:09and was ready to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
03:13...
03:17The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken,
03:20judges that the Palestinian Authority should manage the post-war Gaza,
03:27an announcement made when talks for a truce in Gaza are underway in Qatar.
03:33Raja Ingo for more details.
03:38Who will take control of Gaza after the war?
03:42For US Secretary of State Antony Blinken,
03:45it is the Palestinian Authority with the support of the UN and foreign partners.
03:51Together, they should ensure a provisional role in the management of this enclaved territory.
03:57The head of US diplomacy then stated that Israel should accept a path towards the creation of a Palestinian state.
04:07We think that the Palestinian Authority should invite foreign partners to help set up
04:13and manage an interim administration in charge of the main civilian sectors in Gaza.
04:18Israel will have to accept the reunification of the Gaza Strip and the Jordan Strip
04:23under the direction of this reformed Palestinian Authority.
04:28At the same time, discussions to end the fire in Gaza continue in Doha,
04:33under the auspices of Qatar, Egypt and the United States.
04:37This truce in the Gaza Strip could be concluded very soon, according to Qatar.
04:47We have overcome the main obstacles in the differences between the two parties.
04:52Discussions are now underway on the last details.
04:56It is difficult for me to set a deadline for the announcement to end the fire.
05:00But today, we are at the closest point of an agreement.
05:10Antony Blinken thinks that the ball is in Hamas' ass to achieve this dream in Gaza.
05:16US President Joe Biden had presented him with a plan for peace in Gaza, divided into three phases.
05:24The first phase envisages a total ceasefire of six weeks and a partial withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.
05:33This first phase also includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners detained by Israel.
05:42Thus, the return of Palestinian displaced people to their neighborhood of the Gaza Strip
05:48and the increase of humanitarian aid entering the Palestinian enclave up to 600 trucks per day.
05:55The second phase envisages the continuation of the ceasefire as long as negotiations on a definitive ceasefire continue.
06:03This second phase also includes the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.
06:10The third and final phase of the Biden plan envisages the launch of the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
06:17This reconstruction will be carried out with the support of the United States and the international community.
06:24It will take three to five years.
06:31The Palestinian Authority has announced the death of six people,
06:35including a teenager on Tuesday night in an Israeli bombing on the camp of refugees in Jenin,
06:42the north of Jordan, occupied by the Israeli army,
06:44allegedly carrying out an air strike in the sub-sector.
06:48Brigadier General Anwar Al-Shab, spokesman for the Palestinian Preventive Security,
06:53described the Israeli aid as a premeditated intervention
06:57intended to fail all efforts to maintain security and order and bring the situation back to normal.
07:05Since early December, the violence is mainly opposed by the Palestinian Preventive Security,
07:11one of the armed groups that the Palestinian Authority seems to have decided to want to take to the streets.
07:16According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, at least 831 Palestinians have been killed in Jordan by the Israeli army
07:23or by settlers since October 7, 2023.
07:32In the news also in South Korea, President Youn Sook-yeol was arrested this Wednesday
07:38during an assault on investigators.
07:41An unprecedented measure in the face of the political crisis caused by his failed attempt to impose martial law in early December.
07:49After a first descent that had turned into a fiasco in early January,
07:53agents from the Bureau of Investigation on the Corruption of High Personalities and the Police
07:58presented themselves as members.
08:00They announced that they had apprehended him at 10.33 am, 1.33 am GMT, before taking him to his premises.
08:08Never a head of state in exercise had been arrested in South Korea.
08:13I decided to respond to the Bureau of Investigation on Corruption, announced by Youn, in a video message,
08:18adding that he did not recognize the legality of the investigation,
08:21but that he submitted to avoid any leak of his unfortunate.
08:26He was suspended by the deputies and targeted by an investigation for rebelling against a passable crime of the death penalty.
08:32Youn Sook-yeol had so far refused to explain himself,
08:35pushing prosecutors to appeal to arrest warrants in order to force him.
08:44Los Angeles does not know what to do.
08:47Hot and powerful winds continued to blow on Tuesday night and Wednesday
08:53and to stir even more the flames that have disfigured the second city of the United States for a week
08:58and have killed at least 25 people.
09:01The American Weather Service warns against gusts that can reach 110 km per hour
09:07between 3 am, 11 am GMT and 3 pm GMT this Wednesday.
09:13Parts of the Los Angeles County and the one next to Ventura
09:19have been placed in particularly dangerous situations.
09:24The very low humidity rate and the very dry vegetation
09:28can lead to an ultra-fast fire expansion in some areas.
09:33Meteorologists have also placed a large part of Southern California on red alert.
09:39The damage is immense. More than 12,000 homes and buildings.
09:42Vehicles have been destroyed or damaged.
09:46Some 88,000 people have been displaced.
09:49At least 25 people have died, according to a new report.
09:57Due to the delay in the retirement reform,
10:01French Prime Minister François Bayrou promised on Tuesday
10:05to tackle the innumerable issues that worry the French.
10:09Details with Raja Ingo.
10:13At the National Assembly, the new French Prime Minister
10:17made his statement of general policy.
10:20During his speech, François Bayrou stressed the commitment of his government
10:25to work to find solutions to the problems of the Republic.
10:29His priority is the situation of over-indebtedness,
10:33which he calls a sword of Damocles for France and its social model.
10:38As a reminder, at the end of the second quarter of 2024,
10:41French public debt was established at more than 3 billion euros,
10:46that is, 12% of GDP.
10:49Since the war, ladies and gentlemen,
10:52France in its history has never been as indebted as it is today.
10:57And I affirm that no policy of resettlement and refoundation
11:03can be carried out if it does not take into account this situation of over-indebtedness
11:09and if it does not set itself as an objective to contain it and reduce it.
11:15The new French Prime Minister also reopened the debate
11:19on the contested retirement reform carried out by President Emmanuel Macron.
11:24This reform had postponed the retirement age from 62 to 64 in 2023,
11:31despite the hostility of a majority of the public opinion.
11:34The radical left of the Insoumise France party
11:37filed a motion of censure against the government on Tuesday,
11:41signed by 57 deputies from its ranks,
11:44but also from communist and environmental groups.
11:50I have been saying this for a week,
11:52that from the moment that Mr. Béroud decided to resume Mr. Barnier's budget,
11:57there can be no change in the budget, except in worse.
12:01So there is nothing to hope for.
12:03From this, I hardly see how there would not be a vote of the motion
12:08that will be presented, I want to say today,
12:10by the Insoumise, the environmentalists and the communists.
12:13I hardly see what logic would make the socialists not vote for it.
12:18And so, possibly, the government could fall from the 16th,
12:21and if not, with a catch-up session at the time of the return of the financial law,
12:26on February 3 at the Assembly.
12:27But I continue to say that this government will not end the winter.
12:31The far-right party, the National Assembly,
12:34the most important in Parliament,
12:36has confirmed for its part that it will not vote for the censure in two days
12:40to avoid the worst policy.
12:42The contested reform will apply, however,
12:45if social partners do not agree on an alternative solution
12:49for the financing of pensions within a three-month delay.
12:57In Tunisia, dozens of demonstrators gathered yesterday
13:04to demand the liberation of the opposition
13:07and to protest against the policy of President Kays Saïd
13:10on the 14th anniversary of the revolution of 2011
13:13and the fall of Ben Ali in Tunisia.
13:16Nejwa Bechat gives us the point.
13:20Fourteen years after the fall of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali,
13:23the arrival of Habib Bourguiba in Tunisia remains a symbol for many Tunisians.
13:27The municipal theater was the starting point of two demonstrations,
13:32one in the morning at the call of the National Salute Front,
13:35the main coalition of the opposition,
13:37and the other in the evening at the call of the National Network of Rights and Liberties.
13:42The demonstrators expressed their anger at the repression of the opponents.
13:48Today, in Tunisia, we are witnessing political trials
13:52on various accusations that target not only political opponents
13:57but also journalists, bloggers and many citizens.
14:03The Tunisian people revolted in 2010 and 2011.
14:07Today, there is no force capable of eliminating the spirit of revolution among Tunisians.
14:13It should be remembered that on July 25, 2021,
14:16ISIS overthrew the revolution.
14:19But Tunisians today affirm that tyranny has no future
14:23and that the Tunisian people, which seems calm today, is only a temporary situation.
14:30Nearly 14 years after the departure of Ben Ali,
14:33the slogans such as employment, freedom and dignity
14:36still resonate, testifying to the unsatisfied expectations of the Tunisian people.
14:44The current president, whose mandate has been renewed,
14:48did not respond to the demands of the Tunisian people.
14:52The revolution was founded on freedom, justice and dignity.
14:57Today, with Qays Esraïd, there is no more freedom, no more dignity, no more work.
15:04In virtue of a presidential decree, the Tunisian president,
15:07Qays Esraïd, changed the official date of the beginning of the Tunisian revolution
15:12and removed the holiday of January 14,
15:15replaced by the day of December 17,
15:18when the street vendor, Mohamed Bouazizi,
15:21was immolated by fire to protest against the seizure of his merchandise by the police.
15:28Although the Tunisian revolution is no longer officially commemorated on January 14,
15:34this day remains firmly anchored in the memories of those who have lived close to it.
15:40The Tunisians affirm that the universal message of freedom,
15:44dignity and social justice that characterized the Tunisian revolution of 2011
15:49has not only been ignored, but betrayed over the years by many parties.
15:54From Tunis, Najwa Bechat for Mediha.
