00:00We are still together on Mediantv, thank you for remaining faithful to us.
00:20Here are the headlines of your newspaper.
00:22The Treva Gaza agreement must come into force this Sunday at 6.30 GMT,
00:27while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demands the list of hostages to be released before any exchange of prisoners.
00:39The visit of the Secretary-General of the Union to Lebanon, Antonio Guterres,
00:43hopes for a more promising future for the country of cedar
00:47and calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanese territory.
00:52In Morocco, we will go around the market where the prices of fruits and vegetables have climbed.
00:59We must also pay more to buy red meat.
01:02How to explain such a high response in a moment?
01:10The Treva Gaza agreement must come into force this Sunday at 6.30 GMT,
01:16while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demands the list of hostages to be released before any exchange of prisoners.
01:34The fire should cease.
01:36The agreement on a six-week truce is on the release of 33 hostages held in Gaza
01:41in exchange for 737 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel
01:45coming into force Sunday morning at 8.30 GMT,
01:48the day after its approval by Israel.
01:52The launch was made by Qatar, one of the international mediators, with Egypt and the United States.
02:04First of all, we have to believe in it. Failure is not an option.
02:07It is fundamentally what we should all aspire to.
02:10Now, if the agreement fails, we will not give up.
02:13We will make sure that it is corrected again and that the parties agree.
02:17We do not think that this agreement will be implemented as it is literally,
02:21but we are doing our best to create a consensus.
02:31The agreement was elaborately obtained after more than a year of negotiations,
02:35however, sirens still rang in Jerusalem.
02:38The Israeli army said in the morning that it had intercepted a projectile from Yemen in the center of the country.
02:45The rebel Houthis of Yemen, supported by Iran, claim to have fired a missile
02:49targeting the Ministry of Defense in the region of Jaffa.
02:54The rocket forces in the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a type of military operation with the help of God.
03:04The missiles of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a specific military operation
03:08targeting the so-called Ministry of Defense of the Israeli enemy,
03:11whose occupied area of Jaffa, using a ballistic missile.
03:16The Yemeni Armed Forces reiterate that they will stand by the Palestinian Resistance
03:21to face militarily any violation or any military escalation.
03:33The ceasefire must open the way to a massive flow of aid,
03:36according to the mediators of which Egypt is part.
03:38Hundreds of trucks are parked on the Egyptian side at the border post of Jaffa,
03:42closed since May when the Israeli forces took control of the Palestinian side of the crossing point.
03:49During the first phase, the modalities of the second phase will be negotiated,
03:53which must allow the liberation of the last hostages before the third and last stage,
03:57devoted to the reconstruction of Gaza and the restitution of the bodies of the dead hostages.
04:03She now has several caps.
04:06Sigrid Kague has been appointed Special Coordinator for the Peace Process in the Middle East.
04:14She will also coordinate humanitarian action and reconstruction in Gaza,
04:19while being the personal representative of the UN General Sector
04:23with the Organization for the Liberation of Palestine and the Palestinian Authority.
04:32Antonio Guterres' visit to Lebanon
04:36He was visiting Lebanon.
04:38The UN Secretary-General hopes for a more promising future for the country of Cedre
04:43after the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which he wants permanently.
04:51Antonio Guterres' visit to Lebanon, a reaffirmation of the UN commitment,
04:56has accompanied Lebanon in its efforts to stabilize and reform.
05:00In this sense, the UN Secretary-General met the Lebanese Prime Minister
05:04and promised him economic and military support for the Israeli withdrawal from the South.
05:14After one of the most difficult years in generations,
05:17Lebanon is at the dawn of a more promising future.
05:20The UN will intensify its support for the restoration and reconstruction of Lebanon.
05:26The UN is working in close collaboration with the Lebanese army
05:30so that the Israeli Defense Forces in southern Lebanon
05:34will be able to withdraw permanently.
05:42The ceasefire agreement that ended the war between Hezbollah and Israel
05:46stipulates that the Lebanese army must deploy next to the Blue Helmets in southern Lebanon,
05:52from which the Israeli army must withdraw for a period of 60 days,
05:56that is, until January 26.
05:58For its part, the Lebanese Prime Minister called on Syrian refugees to return home
06:02now that Syria has regained stability.
06:09Given the change in the situation in Syria,
06:12I raised the question of the need to start preparing with the UN
06:16a safe and dignified return of Syrian refugees from Lebanon.
06:22More than 200,000 Syrian refugees have returned to their country
06:26since the fall of Bashar al-Assad in early December,
06:29announced by the UN on Saturday.
06:31Hundreds of thousands of Syrians had fled the Israeli bombings in Lebanon
06:35and had returned to their country
06:37even before Hezbollah forced Bashar al-Assad to leave the country.
06:43It will be minus 6 degrees Celsius this Monday in the United States.
06:47Donald Trump will make a pledge to protect his guests from the icy wind.
06:51The very next 47th President of the United States
06:54has announced that his investment will take place inside the Capitol.
06:58A first in 40 years.
07:00This change promises to be a logistical puzzle,
07:03while tens of thousands of chairs have been erected on the Mall
07:07and thousands of people have been evacuated.
07:11This is just a matter of days.
07:13Mali will officially leave the CDAO on January 29.
07:17The West African organization, in practice,
07:20is refining the methods of this withdrawal,
07:23also desired by Niger and Burkina Faso,
07:26these two countries.
07:28This is just a matter of days.
07:30The CDAO will officially leave the CDAO on January 29.
07:34The West African organization, in practice,
07:37is refining the methods of this withdrawal,
07:40also desired by Niger and Burkina Faso,
07:43these two countries.
07:45One year after manifesting his desire to leave the CDAO,
07:49Mali will no longer be part of this institution from January 29.
07:53A departure from the CDAO, which is widely appreciated
07:56among the Malian population.
07:58If Mali could create the IAS,
08:01at the same time, it should stay in the CDAO.
08:04If we have the IAS, we work together,
08:07the three countries, Mali, Niger and Burkina.
08:10At the same time, we are in the CDAO.
08:13The two go together.
08:15Before this date, Mali and the other two confederate countries,
08:18within the alliance of the states of the Sahel,
08:21which are Burkina Faso and Niger,
08:23are actively preparing by accelerating the implementation
08:26of certain measures,
08:28including the free movement of people and their property.
08:31There are no precise legal documents
08:34that have been adopted today,
08:36but it is also obvious that when you follow the news,
08:39you understand that there are several states
08:42that are expressing themselves on this issue,
08:45states of Lyon in particular.
08:47Most, in any case, agree that there is no particular visa to install.
08:51During this two-day meeting,
08:53which brought together experts from three countries,
08:56it was decided, among others,
08:58the creation of an investment bank,
09:00the construction of roads and railways
09:03to support efforts on the security level.
09:06I think that the actions that we intend to take,
09:09which fortunately we have planned delays for each of the actions,
09:15delays of nine months for some,
09:17delays of three months for others,
09:19and even delays of 15 days for the PC,
09:22for example, for the community collection,
09:25these are delays that must be respected.
09:28Because we have taken the commitment from our heads of state
09:31that we will not be the pillar that will be left.
09:35The six-month delay granted by the CIA
09:38will be taken advantage of by the Senegalese and Togolese presidents
09:42to continue the mediation.
09:47In Tunisia, Abir Moussi,
09:49the president of the Free Historians Party,
09:51is still behind bars.
09:53His supporters have beaten the pavement today
09:56to demand his release,
09:58but also that of the so-called prisoners of opinion.
10:04Armed with Tunisian flags
10:06and singing the national anthem,
10:08the supporters of the Free Historians Party
10:11demonstrated this Saturday
10:13chanting slogans calling for the release of political prisoners.
10:17The participants walked through the arteries of the capital
10:21expressing their anger and their demands.
10:28We organized this march,
10:30which was followed by a demonstration
10:32in front of the Ministry of Women,
10:34and we chanted national slogans
10:36denouncing the general situation of the country,
10:39the economic, social and humanitarian situation.
10:42We also came today
10:44to denounce the Tunisian judicial system
10:47that we consider as non-independent.
10:50Today, the Tunisian prisons
10:52are full of victims of the decree 54.
11:00Usually, after each election,
11:02the president becomes the president of the whole people.
11:05This did not happen in Tunisia,
11:07so Tunisians are not satisfied.
11:11During this demonstration,
11:13the Free Historians Party also expressed its unconditional support
11:17for its president, Abir Moussi,
11:19who has been imprisoned since October 2023.
11:23The demonstrators demanded the immediate release of Abir Moussi
11:27and held the authorities responsible for any harm
11:31she could suffer during her detention.
11:36As a lawyer, I confirm that in the case of Abir Moussi,
11:40we went from a judicial case
11:42to a political case par excellence.
11:45This is why we called for this demonstration.
11:51Here are photos of journalists arrested
11:53because of the decree 54,
11:55set up to destroy families.
11:58I am talking about Sonia Dahmeni,
12:00the journalist and lawyer who spoke of her country
12:03with pain and honesty.
12:05As a result, she ended up in prison.
12:08Mohamed Bouraleb,
12:10also a journalist, denounced corruption
12:12and ended up in prison.
12:14Likewise, Abir Moussi was accused of plotting
12:16against the security of the state.
12:18These accusations confirm
12:20that we are now facing a justice
12:23that is not independent.
12:27It should be noted that the opposition
12:29organized three consecutive demonstrations
12:31during this week,
12:33denouncing the decree 54,
12:35a controversial legislation
12:38perceived as repressive
12:40and demanded the release of prisoners of opinion,
12:43including political opponents.
12:48I will tell you in the title.
12:50In Morocco, the prices of fruits and vegetables
12:52have climbed in recent days,
12:54which has consequences
12:56on the purchasing power of Moroccans.
12:58How to explain such a rise?
13:00Here is the answer.
13:02The prices of fruits and vegetables in Morocco
13:04know spectacular increases
13:06in the approach of the holy month of Ramadan.
13:08Here in the souk of Selmia in Casablanca,
13:10merchants explain this increase
13:12by the presence
13:14of a multitude of intermediaries
13:16in the sales circuit
13:18and the drought suffered by the country.
13:21There is speculation of prices.
13:23The merchandise is resold
13:25two to three times,
13:27at different prices each time.
13:29There is drought as the main cause.
13:31The merchandise goes through four intermediaries
13:33before landing at home.
13:35We bought the box of vegetables for 50 dirhams,
13:37now we buy it for 250 dirhams.
13:39Increases that worry consumers,
13:41especially the basic vegetables,
13:43which are the most affected.
13:45Prices are exorbitant.
13:47Now the poor can no longer afford
13:49to enjoy himself from time to time.
13:55Prices are too high.
13:57The tomato especially,
13:59which has reached 12 dirhams,
14:01the same for onions, potatoes.
14:03The rise in prices affects all vegetables.
14:05While waiting for the generosity of heaven,
14:07merchants and consumers
14:09are under more strict control
14:11by the authorities.
14:13Exports to foreign countries
14:15slow down
14:17and the month of Ramadan
14:19arrives with its baraka.
14:21We remain in the kingdom
14:23where the price of red meat
14:25is high.
14:27I always worry consumers
14:29despite the measures of the authorities
14:31to deal with it.
14:33The prices of red meat
14:35on the Moroccan market
14:37are still high,
14:39weighing heavily on the consumer.
14:41The measures taken,
14:43such as the import of meat
14:45from Brazil or Europe,
14:47did not have a significant impact
14:49on the final prices,
14:51which also between 100 and 130 dirhams
14:53per kilogram.
14:55Professionals in the sector
14:57explain the failure of these initiatives
14:59to achieve the expected results
15:01by the fact that the imported meat
15:03from Spain was not sufficiently
15:05processed and maintained
15:07in optimal conditions.
15:09This is added to practices
15:11such as monopoly and speculation
15:13that affect the trade sector
15:15in great detail.
15:17The quality of Spanish meat
15:19is very good.
15:21We have imported it
15:23and it is alive.
15:25The imported meat from Spain
15:27is of good quality.
15:29Importers are used to importing
15:31live cattle ready to be slaughtered.
15:33However, frozen meat
15:35has not yet been imported to Morocco
15:37due to the conditions
15:39and the complex import procedure
15:41for importers.
15:53The Moroccan consumer
15:55has not seen much change.
15:57However, it is well present,
15:59and I say this because the prices
16:01have remained stable,
16:03but the fact that there has not been
16:05a drop in prices is explained
16:07by the fact that we are still
16:09waiting for additional measures.
16:11The imported meat is subjected
16:13to a number of conditions
16:15of slaughter and delivery,
16:17which guarantees its high quality
16:19and conformity to the requirements
16:21of the Moroccan market.
16:27I confirm that the veterinary services
16:29of the French government
16:31are taking care of the import
16:33of imported products,
16:35including red meat.
16:37Therefore, there is no need
16:39to worry about this issue.
16:41The main thing is the availability
16:43of this meat.
16:45According to sector professionals,
16:47the measures taken by the government
16:49lack a global strategic vision
16:51to respond effectively to this crisis.
16:53They emphasize the failure
16:55of a coherent approach
16:57to meet the needs of farmers,
16:59particularly by providing
17:01subsidized food
17:03and simulating local production.
17:05Experts also insist
17:07on the urgent need
17:09to improve the control
17:11of the distribution chain
17:13to ensure that the meat
17:15reaches the consumer
17:17at affordable prices.
17:19Relations between Morocco
17:21and Spain are based
17:23on common strategic interests.
17:25Morocco is the third
17:27commercial partner of Spain,
17:29after the United States
17:31and the United Kingdom.
17:33Morocco hosts
17:35nearly 1,000 Spanish companies,
17:37of which 20,000
17:39have regular exchanges
17:41with the Kingdom.
17:43For Aldo Olcesey-Santora,
17:45an economist and
17:47Spanish entrepreneur,
17:49these figures indicate
17:51the dynamic of economic cooperation
17:53between Rabat and Madrid.
18:23In the last week,
18:25our government
18:27made an additional
18:29and formidable effort
18:31on Africa.
18:33We naturally
18:35rely
18:37on our strategic
18:39partnership
18:41with most
18:43of the major European
18:45countries
18:47that are
18:49engaged
18:51in the African continent
18:53and that
18:55must engage much more
18:57and that need a guide,
18:59that need a strategic
19:01partnership,
19:03and I could never
19:05find any better than Morocco.
19:07And there are a lot of
19:09businessmen and European
19:11governments that are
19:13coming to the same conclusion.
19:15Back in the Kingdom,
19:17we go to Zagora,
19:19and the Mohamed V Foundation for Solidarity
19:21smiles back
19:23to the patients affected by the
19:25cataract through an
19:27ambulatory surgery.
19:29In total, 150
19:31ophthalmic surgical interventions
19:33have been carried out
19:35through this solidarity action,
19:37thus offering many
19:39patients the possibility
19:41to recover their sight
19:43and improve their quality of life.
19:45And to learn a little more
19:47about the device
19:49put in place for the success
19:51of this first operation,
19:53let's listen together to
19:55Sana Dardir, Director of
19:57Communication at the
19:59Mohamed V Foundation for Solidarity.
20:01The success of such an operation
20:03is first linked to coordination
20:05and teamwork,
20:07which is carried out with local
20:09authorities, which is carried out
20:11with regional management
20:13of the Ministry of Health
20:15and Social Protection,
20:17but also
20:19with partner associations,
20:21because the medical
20:23actions, of course,
20:25are carried out through the
20:27intervention of doctors,
20:29whether they are doctors of public health
20:31or doctors of associations,
20:33who deliver health care
20:35to the population.
20:37In this particular case
20:39of this campaign in Zagora,
20:41we have mobilized
20:43all logistical and technical means,
20:45from Rabat
20:47to Odouar,
20:49which is located
20:5148 km from Zagora,
20:53to put in place
20:55a kind of medical
20:57zone with a health
20:59course that has been
21:01established according to the norms
21:03of security and quality of care.
21:05Medical units
21:07of surgery
21:09have been made available
21:11by the partner,
21:13the Moroccan Medical
21:15Association of Solidarity,
21:17which has four surgical units
21:19and, of course, human resources,
21:21because there is
21:23support on one side,
21:25so there are all the teams of the Foundation,
21:27the social workers of the Foundation,
21:29the doctors of the Foundation
21:31and all the medical staff
21:33which is deployed by the
21:35partner association,
21:37the local authorities,
21:39to put in place
21:41the operational
21:43field of this campaign.
21:47Let's go now to Marseille,
21:49where the projectors
21:51were set on the latest creation
21:53of the Guinean company
21:55Circus Baobab,
21:57a creation that celebrates
21:59the resilience of African women.
22:11Yango Yeli is the latest creation
22:13of the Guinean company
22:15Circus Baobab, founded
22:17in 1998.
22:19The show was presented in
22:21preview in Marseille at the opening
22:23of the International Biennial of Circus Arts.
22:25The Guinean company
22:27Circus Baobab addresses
22:29in particular the theme of excision,
22:31a mutilation that affects
22:3395% of women in Guinea.
22:37We are proud to
22:39transmit the message
22:41to everyone in Africa, in Europe.
22:43We are very, very proud
22:45here because we are all happy
22:47since we heard that
22:49there will be
22:51the history of excision.
22:53There is not only excision
22:55in the show,
22:57there are strong women too.
22:59There is
23:01violence too.
23:03So we talk about everything.
23:05We have chosen
23:07together.
23:11In a clean staging,
23:13making the part beautiful in the singing and dancing,
23:15long strips of wood
23:17make up the tour of Russian bars,
23:19of Chinese mass and of funambulist strings.
23:21The wood is what remains
23:23of the sacred forest, which is
23:25normally the place where excisions
23:27are made, a very codified protocol.
23:29And what will be interesting
23:31and what remained
23:33was to see
23:35where Guinean women
23:37would need independence
23:39nowadays,
23:41where African women
23:43would need independence nowadays,
23:45and maybe even women in general.
23:47And already in Guinea,
23:49I realized that
23:51the third country that practices excision the most,
23:5396%, including all those
23:55I worked with in the previous show and in this one.
23:57So I went to see the production
23:59and I told them,
24:01this is the potential subject.
24:03And they told me,
24:05let's go in there and call the show
24:07Yongo Yeli, which means the excisioner.
24:13After Marseille, Yongo Yeli,
24:15the last creation of the company,
24:17will start a tour of about 40 dates
24:19across France,
24:21starting in February,
24:23with, to begin with,
24:25Paris.
24:37Golf, to finish with
24:39the tournament of the Hiro Dubai
24:41Classic Desert,
24:43counting for the DP World Tour
24:45and the Moroccan Adam Bresnou,
24:47who continues on his very beautiful performance
24:49in this very prestigious
24:51golf tournament,
24:53has become the first Arab
24:55to pass the cup
24:57in this competition,
24:59thus marking an important moment
25:01for Arab golf.
25:03The young 21-year-old player
25:05once again this Saturday,
25:07signing a card of 72 under the par,
25:09thus demonstrating his great form
25:11of the moment together.
25:13Let's listen to the Moroccan golfer
25:15Adam Bresnou.
25:17I played very well in golf.
25:19Today, I played incredibly well.
25:21I think it's one of the best golf
25:23I've played in the year.
25:27Except that the putting didn't go well.
25:29I putted well, but it didn't go in.
