00:15Welcome to the Medias TV newsroom.
00:18Let's take a look at the headlines of your newsroom.
00:21Immigration, climate, health, withdrawal of international bodies after taking oath.
00:27President Trump has signed a series of decrees instituting new policies and revoking some of his predecessors.
00:38Morocco has pleaded in favor of the respect of the ceasefire in Gaza.
00:43Yesterday in New York, the kingdom also said it hoped for the launch of a real peace process in the Middle East.
00:51And Morocco is now a destination of choice for the world leaders in the automotive sector.
01:01This was stated by Aziz Hanocha Agadir at the inauguration of the factory of the group Leoni.
01:09After taking oath, President Trump has therefore signed several regulatory texts.
01:20These first decrees of the new owner of the White House focus on immigration, withdrawal of international bodies, but also on climate and health.
01:30The details of Dina Bredi.
01:34Freshly invested this Monday, the American president intends to take action with several decisions already taken.
01:41Donald Trump and his new government have already planned several decrees instituting new policies.
01:48One of the first decrees that the new leader has signed is the state of national emergency at the southern border of the United States with Mexico.
01:57The Republican has announced his intention to send additional armed forces to help secure the border.
02:04According to a person in charge of the incoming administration, Trump also intends to designate criminal cartels as global terrorists.
02:12Trump plans to take a series of executive measures aimed at repressing legal and illegal immigration and accelerating expulsions.
02:22The American president will also promote a decree aimed at putting an end to birth citizenship for children born in the United States whose parents do not have a legal immigration status.
02:32He plans to suspend the American program for the rehabilitation of refugees for at least four months.
02:39During his speech, Trump stated that his government also intends to regain control of the Panama Canal.
02:48Decisive measures to fight against inflation are also part of his program.
02:53In this sense, the new owner of the White House has signed a symbolic memorandum ordering all federal agencies to fight against inflation of consumption prices.
03:03The new leader also aims to lighten regulatory constraints on the production of oil and natural gas.
03:11In terms of trade, Trump has stated that he would impose 10% customs rights on global imports, 60% on Chinese products,
03:21and a 25% import surtax on Canadian and Mexican products from February 1.
03:28The American president also signed a decree removing the United States from the World Health Organization.
03:35He also ordered an in-depth review of American expenses in terms of aid abroad.
03:41Trump signed documents that, according to him, will officially withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement on climate.
03:51And the American Senate, moreover, voted yesterday evening in favor of the confirmation of Marco Rubio,
03:58a former Secretary of State appointed in early November by President Donald Trump,
04:02the former senator of Florida, has been confirmed unanimously by the 99 members of the Senate.
04:09Rubio will have the task of implementing President Trump's foreign policy.
04:15He opposes the normalization of relations with Cuba and adopts a hard line against China.
04:21Son of a Cuban immigrant, Rubio is the first leader of Latin American diplomacy.
04:27At 53 years old, he has accumulated several years of experience in foreign policy and national security.
04:34He has been active for 10 years as a member of the Senate, where he has been in office since 2015.
04:42And on his side, the ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco.
04:47In Washington, Youssef Amrani was present at this ceremony of Donald Trump's inauguration.
04:52During a statement to the press, he recalled the strong messages expressed in the congratulatory letter
04:58addressed by His Majesty King Mohammed VI to President Trump on the exceptional bilateral relationship
05:05that links the two countries, the historical depth of the alliance between Rabbi Washington
05:10and their promising future prospects.
05:13He recalled that Morocco was the first country to recognize the independence of the United States
05:18on the international scene.
05:23Third day of mourning in Gaza.
05:25On the first day, three Israeli hostages were released in exchange.
05:31Very early yesterday morning, 90 Palestinians were released by Israel
05:37as a result of this exchange planned during this first phase of the ceasefire,
05:41which should last 42 days in total.
05:44As soon as the weapons were used, humanitarian aid began to flow into the Palestinian territory in ruins,
05:49while thousands of inhabitants of Gaza rushed to find their homes.
05:55The next liberations will take place next Saturday, according to a Hamas official.
06:04And know that Morocco pleaded in New York in favor of the respect of the ceasefire.
06:09In Gaza, the Kingdom of God also hoped for the launch of a real peace process in the Middle East.
06:15It is a subject of the JNCO.
06:18The ceasefire agreement should open the way to the reconstruction of what was destroyed by the war.
06:25This is what the permanent representative of Morocco to the UN Omar Hilal
06:31said at the meeting of the Al-Qaeda committee dedicated to the situation in the Middle East.
06:37In this meeting, which also dealt with the Palestinian issue,
06:42Omar Hilal pleaded for the launch of a real peace process in Gaza.
06:47The Moroccan ambassador, in front of the Security Council,
06:51also asked for the establishment of a Palestinian state on the borders of 1967,
06:57with East Jerusalem as the capital.
07:00He added that Gaza should be an integral part of the independent Palestinian territories.
07:07Omar Hilal also recalled Morocco's constant and clear position on the Palestinian cause.
07:15In his speech during this open debate,
07:18the ambassador revealed that Morocco congratulates itself on the entry into force of the ceasefire agreement.
07:24Morocco wishes that the ceasefire is fully respected and that it allows the cessation of attacks against civilians,
07:31the release of hostages and detainees, the return of the displaced,
07:35and the fluid access and sufficient quantity of humanitarian aid.
07:40As a reminder, since its entry into force, the ceasefire agreement is still in force.
07:45A second exchange of prisoners should take place next weekend.
07:51Any total or partial annexation of Jordan by Israel would be a very serious violation of international law.
07:59This is the UN Secretary-General's warning,
08:02who denounces the statements in this direction of high Israeli officials.
08:06I am deeply concerned by the existential threat to the integrity and continuity of the Palestinian territory,
08:15occupied by Gaza and West Jordan,
08:17said Antonio Guterres during a meeting of the Security Council on the situation in the Middle East.
08:27And know that the head of the Moroccan government, Aziza Khannoucha,
08:31presided yesterday at Agadir the inauguration ceremony of a new factory of the Leoni group,
08:36world leader in the wiring systems for the automotive industry.
08:40This is a story from Imafkri.
08:45This inauguration marks a key step in the implementation of the agreement protocol
08:50concluded between the Leoni group and the Moroccan government,
08:53aimed at the implementation of six capital projects in the automotive sector.
08:57Aziza Khannoucha stressed that the confidence of the German group
09:00confirms the dynamism and efforts of the automotive sector in Morocco,
09:05which now makes Jorwayum a choice destination for world leaders in this sector.
09:11This investment constitutes a major asset to strengthen the position of Morocco
09:15on the global scene of the automotive industry.
09:17Jorwayum is now the first producer of tourist vehicles in Africa
09:21and the main exporter of thermal cars to the European Union.
09:25Our country has made significant progress in the field of electric vehicles and battery production.
09:32Mobilizing an investment of 230 million dirhams,
09:36this new factory is set up at the heart of the industrial acceleration zone, Souss Massa.
09:46We are now living a historic moment for the automotive sector of the region.
09:51We are now living a historic moment for the automotive sector of the region.
09:57We are now living a historic moment for the automotive sector of the region.
10:01We have inaugurated a strategic factory in the manufacture of vehicles
10:05after several years of negotiations to convince these investors to choose this region.
10:10Today, it is proven that this area has exceptional competitiveness.
10:14It rivals not only the 10 other factories of this investor in Morocco,
10:18but also with its sites worldwide,
10:20receiving orders from all over the world.
10:27Expanding over 7.6 hectares,
10:30this new unit will have a significant impact on the local economy.
10:34It will allow the creation of more than 3,000 direct jobs by 2027,
10:39thus bringing the total number of jobs within the Leoni Group in Morocco to 19,000.
10:46This investment allows the creation of 3,000 direct jobs
10:49and also generates many other professional opportunities.
10:53The commitment of the state to support this type of initiative
10:56in favor of job creation is a positive step.
10:59This intervention is manifested in particular by a continuous professional training program.
11:03It should be noted that more than 1,500 young people in the company,
11:07although not educated, benefit from a remuneration for 11 months
11:11while following this training.
11:13At the end of this training, these young people find a job.
11:16In the long term, these projects will play a key role
11:19in the strengthening of the Moroccan industrial fabric
11:22and the promotion of employment in the automotive sector,
11:25thus generating benefits for the entire national economy.
11:31And know that according to concordant sources reported to Medi1 TV,
11:36the efforts to find four Moroccan drivers
11:40have disappeared between Niger and Burkina Faso since last Saturday
11:44are still underway.
11:46The latter circulated between the city of Dori, north of Burkina Faso,
11:50and the city of Tyra, west of Niger.
11:53According to these same sources, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
11:56and the embassies of the Burkina Faso kingdom in Niger
12:01are in close collaboration with the local authorities of the two countries
12:07to determine the fate of the drivers.
12:09According to local sources, the drivers have taken a very dangerous road
12:14which crosses an area where terrorist groups are active,
12:18known to target trucks and vehicles.
12:25It is at the Place d'Armes du Génie Militaire
12:28that the commemorative festivities of the 64th anniversary of the Malian army took place.
12:36And this in the presence of the President of the Transition,
12:39the Minister of Defense, but also to invite members of the AES.
12:43This is a report from our correspondent Abamako Mohamed Dagnoko.
12:47The celebration of the 20th of January, the national holiday of the Malian army,
12:51was marked by an imposing military parade and helicopters.
12:55Students from the British military to the gendarmerie,
12:58passing through the National Guard.
13:00Each corps had a remarkable time of passage,
13:03to the great happiness of the participants,
13:05who say they recognize the efforts made.
13:08It is a feeling of pride,
13:11but also a feeling of joy that we feel.
13:15This national army that comes from afar,
13:18it is always important to remember that our armed forces and security forces
13:23have paid a heavy price in the framework of the regulations
13:27or the exit of this crisis that we have been living for almost ten years.
13:31The success of the front in 2024,
13:34which allowed the army to recover several cities
13:38in the hands of terrorists, is a reason for satisfaction.
13:42All Mali is satisfied,
13:44because today we have a more powerful army
13:49that has returned all our dignity,
13:54our territory, today there is even a hundred meters that we do not have.
14:01Country invited by honor, next to Niger,
14:04Akina Faso is confident in the ability of the Malian army
14:08and the IAS to fight terrorism in the Sahel.
14:12What we saw this morning,
14:14shows that if we still need a state,
14:17that we have capable armies,
14:20we have armies that have the necessary strength
14:24to stop terrorism out of the Sahel.
14:27And the honor is given to all the states of the Sahel.
14:32And we know that, from what we have seen today,
14:35integration is possible.
14:37A giant cheque of more than 7 billion francs CFA
14:40was given to the families of soldiers who fell to the front,
14:43and the laying of the first stone of a monument in their name
14:47was laid by the president of the transition.
14:52It's time for the guest of the big news,
14:55fight against illegal immigration,
14:58withdrawal of the Paris Agreement on climate,
15:01increase of hydrocarbon production,
15:04but also withdrawal of the OMS,
15:07barely invested.
15:09Donald Trump signed yesterday a whole list of decrees,
15:14a long list.
15:15So what impact will these decrees have,
15:18these new measures in the different areas,
15:22all these respective areas?
15:24I propose to talk about it with Mustafa Tosa,
15:27political analyst and live editorialist,
15:30with us from Paris.
15:32Hello Mustafa.
15:34Hello Nadia.
15:36So we start with these decrees,
15:39decrees declaring the state of emergency
15:41at the border with Mexico,
15:43those related to asylum rights and land rights.
15:47What could be the legal and social consequences
15:50of these measures,
15:51especially in terms of constitutional rights
15:54of migrants and relations with Mexico?
15:58We must remember, Nadia,
16:00that the immigration issue was Donald Trump's first obsession,
16:05even in 2016,
16:06when he was elected during his first term.
16:09And we remember his flagship project
16:12to build a gigantic wall
16:14that separates North America and Mexico.
16:18By taking on this responsibility
16:20and his power at the White House,
16:22he has signed 78 decrees
16:25that form Donald Trump's break-up agenda
16:28for his second term.
16:30And among these important decrees,
16:33the one concerning the management of the immigration issue.
16:37He orders the deployment of the army
16:41along this Mexican-American border
16:44to prevent illegal immigrants from entering.
16:47He absolutely wants to organize
16:50a massive expulsion of these immigrants to Mexico.
16:54He calls this a disaster
16:57that threatens America.
17:01And above all,
17:02he challenges a number of social rights
17:05of these immigrants,
17:06especially those of land rights.
17:08Land rights are those
17:10that every person born in the United States
17:12automatically has rights to the American nationality.
17:15This is a right that is protected
17:16by the 14th Amendment of the American Constitution.
17:19So, all of a sudden,
17:21Donald Trump is going to abolish it.
17:24So, we are waiting for a major judicial battle
17:28within the American states.
17:30There are American states
17:32that are not going to apply
17:34the federal government's orders
17:37in the expulsion
17:39and also in the suppression of land rights.
17:42So, we are waiting for a major battle
17:44within the United States
17:46between the states that want to blindly apply
17:49what the federal government
17:51and the White House have just decided
17:53and the forces of social and political resistance
17:55within the United States
17:57that do not want to,
17:58and that are attached to this very distinctive trait
18:05that is part of the American dream,
18:06that is, a person born in the United States
18:08is necessarily and automatically American.
18:13Donald Trump had announced
18:15the withdrawal of the United States
18:17from the Paris Agreement.
18:19It is indeed underway.
18:20The President has signed a decree
18:22declaring an emergency state
18:24to increase the production of hydrocarbons.
18:27So, what will be, again,
18:29the environmental and economic impacts
18:31of this decision?
18:33And how does it fit
18:35into the global context of energy transition?
18:39Again, the withdrawal of America
18:42from the Paris Agreement
18:44was already a decision
18:46that was made by Donald Trump I in 2016.
18:49But with the arrival of Joe Biden,
18:52the Democrats Joe Biden,
18:53they came back in one way or another
18:55within this agreement.
18:56And Donald Trump had taken this matter
19:00to his heart
19:01because he believes that America
19:03should not assume responsibility
19:08for what is happening on the planet.
19:12But by making this decision,
19:14many commentators believe
19:16that Donald Trump is breaking
19:19the very logic of the COP21
19:22and the Paris Agreement,
19:23which is based on the polluter-payer.
19:26The one who pollutes the most
19:28must pay the most.
19:29So, by withdrawing,
19:30first of all,
19:31they live in many countries
19:33victims of this climate warming
19:36and this transformation of the planet,
19:40they have no economy
19:42that has polluted enough.
19:44They are deprived of all the subsidies
19:47that the logic of the Paris Agreement
19:49provides them with.
19:50But above all,
19:52by leaving the Paris Agreement,
19:54Donald Trump's America
19:56joins the very closed club
19:58of countries that are not signatories
20:00of the Paris Agreement,
20:01namely Yemen, Libya and Iran.
20:04But it is said that Donald Trump
20:08motivated by an economic logic
20:11does not want to pay for others.
20:14He does not want American money
20:16to go to countries that do not pollute.
20:18So he makes a decision to break
20:20with the international community
20:22which will inevitably have a major impact
20:24on the rest of the events.
20:27And break also in terms of health
20:29since Donald Trump justified
20:32the withdrawal of the United States
20:35from the WHO
20:37by criticizing, in particular,
20:39the unbalanced financial contributions
20:41between the United States and China.
20:43So there again,
20:45what are the risks
20:47for world health
20:49and international cooperation
20:51in case of withdrawal from the United States?
20:53And how could this affect
20:55the management of future pandemics,
20:57for example?
20:59Yes, it is true that Donald Trump
21:02has made the observation
21:04that America pays a lot
21:06to protect world health
21:08and that it pays more than China.
21:10So instead of making the decision
21:12to convince China to pay even more
21:14to stay in this global treatment
21:18of epidemics,
21:20it prefers to withdraw from the WHO.
21:22And so that constitutes a major risk
21:25because in the case of global epidemics,
21:28as we have experienced with COVID,
21:31if there is not a coordinated international response,
21:34we cannot have a global efficiency.
21:37So by withdrawing from the WHO,
21:39Donald Trump automatically weakens
21:43the type of international response
21:45that the international community
21:47must provide in the event of a global epidemic.
21:50And on this position,
21:52he will also be very criticized
21:54by other international partners
21:56who want epidemics
21:58to be perceived,
22:00and to which we must provide
22:02not national or continental solutions,
22:05but global solutions.
22:07And Donald Trump,
22:09by withdrawing from the WHO,
22:11breaks this logic
22:13and isolates himself more from the international community.
22:17The American president
22:19also signed a decree
22:21ordering his government
22:23to suspend for 75 days
22:25the application of the law
22:28prohibiting the TikTok social network in the United States.
22:31What are the geopolitical and economic issues
22:34behind this decision,
22:36especially regarding the relations
22:38between Washington and Beijing?
22:42What must be remembered
22:44about this TikTok affair
22:46is that this law that was voted
22:48and that came into effect
22:50was not that of Donald Trump,
22:52it was that of the Joe Biden administration.
22:55So, to suspend TikTok
22:57in the United States
22:59because the American administration
23:01believes that TikTok
23:03belongs to the Chinese government
23:05presents a huge security flaw
23:07from the moment
23:09when there are
23:11170 million Americans
23:13who use TikTok
23:15and that the database
23:17of all these Americans
23:19can be used
23:21by the Chinese
23:23other than commercial
23:25for security purposes.
23:27So there was a law that suspended
23:29at some point
23:31the use of TikTok
23:33in the United States.
23:35And what was the request
23:37of the Biden administration?
23:39It was that TikTok
23:41must be owned
23:4350% by an American,
23:4550% by the Chinese,
23:4750% by the American.
23:49The blockade is that the Chinese owner
23:51has this iron arm
23:53and this merchandise,
23:55which means that at some point
23:57the law will come into force
23:59and all those who use TikTok
24:01will be threatened
24:03with prison and fines.
24:05Donald Trump arrives
24:07like a white knight
24:09in a general crisis atmosphere
24:11around TikTok
24:13and he orders the suspension
24:15of the application of this law
24:17that punishes Americans.
24:19So TikTok still has 75 days
24:21to find a commercial,
24:23political,
24:25security solution
24:27with the American partner.
24:29Will Donald Trump convince
24:31the Chinese to take 50%
24:33of TikTok
24:35to allow him to continue
24:37to exercise on American territory?
24:39That's the big question
24:41to see also with the big iron arm
24:43and some even say
24:45the big commercial war
24:47between the American mastermind
24:49and the Chinese mastermind.
24:51And TikTok is only a part
24:53of this American war
24:55between the two great powers.
24:57Mostafa Tosa,
24:59maybe one last question
25:01since we are talking
25:03about the TikTok social network.
25:05Elon Musk,
25:07the boss of the X network
25:09and the richest man in the world,
25:11joins Trump's government.
25:13He has, for him,
25:15a whole new department,
25:17that of government efficiency.
25:19Yesterday, during the investiture,
25:21the whole Gaffa,
25:23the Silicon Valley was present
25:25on January 20, 2025,
25:27whether it was Jeff Bezos
25:29or Tim Cook, they were all there.
25:31What does that say
25:33about Trump's second mandate
25:35on the inside this time too?
25:37What does that reveal,
25:39according to you?
25:41It reveals that
25:43during the election campaign
25:45he managed to have
25:47the giants of tech with him,
25:49without exception,
25:51Facebook, Amazon,
25:53TikTok,
25:55X, and all the giants
25:57of tech with him.
25:59That explains
26:01part of his return,
26:03of his important comeback.
26:05For Elon Musk,
26:07it is necessary to specify something important.
26:09Elon Musk is very hated
26:11in Europe
26:13because he interferes
26:15in European elections.
26:17He absolutely wants the German extreme right
26:19to gain power.
26:21He has a lot of sympathy
26:23for the Italian extreme right,
26:25the French extreme right.
26:27We must not forget that the only two French
26:29who were officially invited
26:31to attend the ceremony
26:33of Donald Trump
26:35are Eric Zemmour,
26:37the boss of the very right-wing
26:39Reconquête, and his wife Sarah Knafo.
26:41This tells you
26:43about Donald Trump's vision
26:45of this Europe.
26:47It also tells you about the contribution
26:49that Elon Musk and Donald Trump
