00:00Welcome everyone, I'm delighted to see you for a new edition of the major media news.
00:22Here are the headlines.
00:25The third day of the Israeli operation in the occupied city of Jenin,
00:32was taken yesterday under the military operation Iron Wall,
00:36launched just after the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
00:45In the United States, a new fire broke out this Wednesday near Los Angeles.
00:49A fire that is spreading at high speed,
00:51causing thousands of evacuation orders in a region already engulfed by devastating fires.
01:01And then in Morocco, the right to strike is still being discussed in depth in the Chamber of Advisers.
01:06The project of an organic law governing the exercise of the right to strike
01:10comes at a decisive moment in its legislative course.
01:20The city of Jenin, in the occupied city of Jordan,
01:24was taken on Wednesday under fire and explosions.
01:28On the third day of the Israeli operation Iron Wall,
01:31launched just after the beginning of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas,
01:35the situation is very difficult.
01:37The occupation army has razed to the ground all the roads leading to the camp of Jenin
01:42and the hospital has declared the governor of the city.
01:44There are shots and explosions.
01:46The plane overflew the area, he added, evoking many arrests.
01:51The last report on Tuesday evening showed 10 dead and 35 injured,
01:55according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
01:58The day after the investiture of the new American president, Donald Trump,
02:02the Israeli government hopes for unconditional support.
02:06The army has launched an operation in the north of the city of Jordan,
02:10a territory occupied by Israel since 1967.
02:13The Minister of Defense, Yisrael Kadz, justified this operation
02:17as a change in the security approach of the army in the city of Jordan.
02:27In the United States, a new fire broke out this Wednesday in the north of Los Angeles
02:32and is spreading at high speed,
02:34provoking thousands of evacuation orders in a region already
02:39engulfed by devastating fires.
02:44This is a new forest fire breaking out in Los Angeles.
02:48This is the Hague fire.
02:50In just a few hours, the flames have ravaged more than 3,800 hectares of forest
02:56in the vicinity of Lake Castaic.
02:59The fire is caused by hot and dry winds from Santa Ana
03:03that continue to blow over the region,
03:06pushing a large cloud of smoke above the fire.
03:11Our hopes tonight are that we can put an end to this fire.
03:16However, we are facing strong winds
03:19and a thick fuel bed.
03:22Let's hope the humidity will increase.
03:26Evacuation orders have been issued
03:29with the intention of more than 31,000 people living in the area around the lake
03:34in the north of Los Angeles.
03:36In the vicinity of the lake, four present,
03:38housing about 4,700 people, are threatened by the fire.
03:43One of them has been evacuated
03:45and its 500 detainees have been transferred to another penitentiary.
03:53One of the areas that initially was an evacuation warning
03:56for the Piches Detention Center,
03:58one of the prison facilities, has been evacuated.
04:01We have moved these detainees to a more suitable prison for the situation.
04:06One of the facilities was evacuated.
04:09They must be reinforced in the evening.
04:11Weather services have issued a strong wind alert until Friday morning.
04:16It has not rained in southern California for eight months.
04:20The dried vegetation has turned the region into a powder keg
04:24Yesterday, despite the winter,
04:26more than 4,600 firefighters were engaged on site,
04:29assisted by planes and helicopters,
04:32dropping water and non-flammable products on the area.
04:40In the last five months,
04:42Morocco has seen a large number of cases of measles in children under five
04:46and adults over 37.
04:48A phenomenon that has prompted the Ministry of Health and Social Protection
04:52to take action and launch a national vaccination campaign.
04:55This is a report by Yunus Mazih and Yunus Riri.
04:59The story is by Alaa Abedani.
05:02The vaccination campaign against measles continues in the Kingdom's health centers.
05:07Here, at the health center in the city of Buzneka,
05:10dozens of families with their children arrive to receive doses of vaccine
05:15to avoid being a victim of this virus, which can be deadly in some cases.
05:20Like all the cities of the Kingdom,
05:23the city of Buzneka launched its campaign against measles
05:27launched by the Ministry of Health.
05:30This disease was very rare in Morocco,
05:33where the number of cases did not exceed three per year.
05:36But this is no longer the case now,
05:38because citizens no longer give enough importance to vaccination.
05:45There are parents who came with their children who are less than two years old.
05:49Others are over six years old.
05:51All have benefited from this vaccination campaign.
05:54The most important thing is that people are aware of the severity of this disease.
06:00Between September 2024 and January 2025,
06:03Morocco recorded some 25,000 cases and 116 deaths
06:07because of this viral infection.
06:09Measles is one of the most contagious diseases
06:12because its virus can survive up to two hours in the air.
06:15A single person infected can infect up to ten people
06:19among unvaccinated contacts.
06:24We came to vaccinate our children against measles,
06:27which is contagious, especially in children,
06:30and which can be very, very dangerous.
06:38It is true that I took my daughter to the doctor a little late
06:41and got vaccinated.
06:42And so I took advantage of this campaign to vaccinate my child
06:45only two years before she contracted this disease that is spreading.
06:53The Ministry of Health plans to organize
06:55a vaccination campaign for unvaccinated children.
06:58In addition, the health authorities also plan to activate
07:01the National Center for Emergency Operations in Public Health
07:05and to organize a national campaign to verify
07:08that all students under the age of 18 have been properly vaccinated.
07:15We are still in Morocco, where the organic law project
07:18framing the exercise of the right to strike
07:21is coming to a decisive moment in its legislative course.
07:26Since yesterday, the text has been the subject of an in-depth discussion
07:30in the Chamber of Trustees.
07:32Here are the details in this story by Alain Benany.
07:36The organic law project framing the exercise of the right to strike
07:40in Morocco is at a crucial stage in its legislative course.
07:44Since Wednesday, it has been discussed article by article
07:47in the Chamber of Trustees.
07:49More than 330 amendments have been proposed,
07:52including the revision of several key articles.
07:58We are expanding consultations because we need expertise
08:03other than in politics and trade unionism.
08:06Today, experts have assisted us,
08:09and they are quite experienced in questions related to the right to strike.
08:13This expertise will give us the appropriate tools
08:17to move forward in our discussions.
08:24This kind of discussion is plausible.
08:27It avoids the government, trade unions and the CGEM
08:31from entering into technical confrontations
08:34without really being aware of the real socio-economic aspirations of society.
08:40The amended text broadens the categories concerning the right to strike,
08:44including now independent workers and domestic workers.
08:48Measures will also be put in place to guarantee a minimum service
08:53in the vital sectors during strikes
08:55in order to ensure the proper functioning of public services.
08:58Finally, the government has also lifted the ban on strikes for political purposes.
09:06It has been more than 60 years since the law on the right to strike was reformed.
09:10So it is normal that there are several points of divergence
09:14that will be debated and discussed,
09:17and over time, amendments will be made and voted unanimously.
09:22Among the other amendments already adopted,
09:25we can cite the addition of a consensual formula
09:28that sets up the parties having the right to strike.
09:31The amendments also include the abrogation of Article 12
09:34which was about the ban on strikes by alternation.
09:37Finally, the amendments have also looked at the abolition of the most severe criminal sanctions
09:42and imprisonment sentences,
09:44which are included in several amendments.
09:47We remain in the kingdom where the works of the 8th General Assembly
09:51of the Atlantic Federation of African Press Agencies have been opened.
09:55This two-day conclave allows to shed light on the ways of promotion
09:59and strengthening of African health sovereignty.
10:03The participants will discuss the future of the African Press Agencies
10:07and the role they will play in the development of health services
10:12The participants will discuss the future of the African Press Agencies
10:15and the role they will play in the development of health services
10:18in the 21st century.
10:19Welcome, Marie Bakoumania,
10:21Director General of the Congolese Press Agency,
10:24comes back on the issues of this conclave.
10:29The first challenge that was presented to the Atlantic Federation of Press Agencies
10:35was to put the press agencies together.
10:39This is the first challenge,
10:41the challenge of federating the press agencies of the continent
10:44so that they can get together,
10:47get in synergy and face the challenges,
10:50especially technological challenges
10:52and the challenges of the development of the communication and media sector.
10:56We can say without fear that during the 10 years,
11:00the FAPA has succeeded in meeting this challenge.
11:03The second challenge also presented to the FAPA
11:07is the challenge of training,
11:09the training of the media personnel,
11:13of our media,
11:14in relation to the current technological evolution.
11:17Today, the theme of health sovereignty
11:24highlights the efforts that have been made
11:28and gives clues so that the future of the FAPA
11:31can be oriented towards the concrete,
11:35towards what directly affects African populations,
11:39populations that are often manipulated by stories that come from elsewhere.
11:45And let's go to Senegal,
11:46where the Senegalese Ministry of National Education
11:50has signed a convention with Teleécole
11:52as part of the Namda Awards organization.
11:55The goal is to place technology at the heart of learning.
12:00This innovative project aims to sustainably transform
12:03the educational landscape of the country.
12:06This is a report by Genèse Moukaka.
12:10Placing technology at the heart of education
12:13is the objective of the Senegalese Ministry of National Education
12:16through this partnership.
12:18The initiative aims to improve learning conditions
12:21through innovative and inclusive solutions.
12:24It is an extremely important convention
12:27as part of the transformation of our educational system.
12:31I would like to remind you that it is about
12:34evolving the educational system
12:36and bringing it to an educational society.
12:39In the case of the realization of this educational society,
12:42we count on several families of actors
12:46to be members of this new society.
12:49The realization of this project
12:51probably involves the inclusion of digital actors.
12:54What are the specific actors concerned?
12:57The objective is to help potential content makers
13:03to join the educational cause.
13:06Knowing that we are in a world today
13:09where we can no longer swear to have the possibility
13:13of securing the production of content.
13:15The world has become a liberal world
13:18in a planetary village.
13:21So the intelligent objective in terms of a thoughtful approach
13:25is to figure out how to transform all these content makers
13:28into potential partners of education.
13:31This is the objective of the UNHCR.
13:33Beyond this signature,
13:35the essence now lies in the realization
13:38and success of this ambitious project.
13:40Today, it is the signing of a convention.
13:43It is only the beginning of a process.
13:45The process itself will be celebrated
13:49when there will be more impact.
13:52The impact will be visible at the level of schools,
13:54at the level of children.
13:56At the moment, we will say that it is producing something.
13:59The realization of this project of the NUMED Awards
14:02could permanently redefine the foundations of education in Senegal.
14:05The objective is to make digital a real engine of social transformation.
14:11In Côte d'Ivoire, in the municipality of Adjame,
14:14precisely on the Nangui-Brogoua boulevard,
14:17a marketing phenomenon attracting attention,
14:19I brought these audacious saleswomen,
14:23even mannequins,
14:25by embroidering their products
14:27to seduce passers-by and boost their sales.
14:30A strategy, a sale that mixes fashion, commerce and originality.
14:34Mel Berchel's report,
14:35Herman Degout, Macinni, Yakoubou.
14:39Adjame, one of the largest shopping malls in Abidjan,
14:43sees a new trend emerging.
14:45Here, saleswomen are no longer content to display their goods,
14:49they adorn them.
14:51This phenomenon, nicknamed je portais,
14:54allows them to transform every moment into an improvised fashion show
14:57all along the Nangui-Brogoua boulevard.
15:02But this marketing strategy, although innovative,
15:05is not without its challenges.
15:07When you come, there are shops here,
15:09the bosses are there, you take their clothes, you wear them.
15:12Even if it's 4,500, you sell them for 5,000.
15:15You can sell 35,000 a day at home.
15:18You can sell 25,000 a day.
15:20It depends on the market.
15:22Je portais is not easy.
15:24We've been here since the 70s.
15:26We've come to stop here in the sun to look for us.
15:28It's to attract customers, it's like mannequins.
15:31It's to attract customers.
15:33Like the mannequins they wear, when you see them, you say,
15:35I like it, and then you choose for yourself.
15:37It's too good.
15:38I like it too, and then I pay for je portais.
15:41The success of the phenomenon Je portais
15:43is also based on strategic collaboration.
15:46Awa Diaby, shop owner,
15:49explains how she works with these saleswomen
15:52to maximize their sales.
15:54We set our prices.
15:56If I give a dress to my customer for 6,000,
15:59I give it to the girl for 5,000.
16:02She sells it for 6,000, they pay for it.
16:04Even if she sells it for 5,500,
16:07they pay for it.
16:11It brings a lot to our business.
16:16But where does this ingenious concept come from?
16:19Kadiar Akamate, a walker and observer of the phenomenon,
16:23comes back to the birth of this unique commercial strategy.
16:26Before, the mannequins were placed.
16:31We saw that there was a change of state,
16:34so they freed the way.
16:36When we freed the way,
16:38people took the store upstairs,
16:41on the second or third floor.
16:43Customers couldn't go up there.
16:46So the women had the idea
16:48to take the girls who didn't work,
16:50who were on the street,
16:52to come to the customers to go up with them.
16:55Because the customers didn't want to go up the stairs.
16:57So thanks to her skills,
17:00she went up with them to do the shopping.
17:04The phenomenon of the walker doesn't go unnoticed.
17:07It reflects the creativity and resilience
17:09of the Ajamé merchants,
17:11who are boldly competing
17:13to impose themselves in an ultra-competitive environment.
17:18Now, let's move on to the African Hebdo.
17:21Our weekly Hebdo meeting
17:24with the Timbuktu Institute.
17:27We receive experts on strategic issues
17:30for the African continent,
17:32war, information, Africa,
17:35the new franc.
17:37That's what we're going to talk about today.
17:39For this, we are live with Dr. Bakarissambe,
17:41Regional Director of the Timbuktu Institute.
17:44Hello, Dr. Bakarissambe,
17:46and thank you for being with us.
17:50Hello, and thank you for your kind invitation.
17:54Dr. Bakarissambe,
17:56the Timbuktu Institute
17:58focuses on content monitoring.
18:01As part of its observatory of social networks,
18:04your recent publications
18:06show a real dynamic of information war,
18:11especially in the Sahel.
18:13What do you think is the real cause?
18:17Yes, you know that here,
18:19we can see it well in Africa,
18:21that the reconfiguration, if I dare say so,
18:24of the global geopolitical chessboard
18:26is now palpable.
18:27And in this context of a new great game,
18:29Africa occupies an important place.
18:31Its social, political, economic and security issues
18:34are now at the heart of global games,
18:37thus leading the great powers
18:39to play elbows to position themselves.
18:42So, the continent where social networks
18:45know a shining breakthrough
18:47becomes the high point of the information war,
18:50in this case, in the context of security cooperation.
18:52And to try to grasp now
18:54what is really at stake here,
18:56it is possible to orient the reflection
18:58towards two main parameters.
19:00There is the analysis of social networks
19:01as a new means of information and influence
19:03on the understanding of the news.
19:05But then, the examination of social networks
19:08between the hammer of the signals
19:10of an information war
19:12and the anclum of actors
19:13favoring disinformation on the other hand.
19:17According to you, Dr. Bakarissombe,
19:20in short,
19:21what motivates this increased quest for influence
19:25in this region of the world in full mutation?
19:30Yes, you know, Africa has become the target
19:32of propagandist maneuvers
19:34on the part of individuals of various groups
19:36who are involved in an increased quest
19:39for influence and geostrategic interest.
19:41Political and security issues,
19:43which are already very sensitive,
19:45are therefore at the forefront
19:46of information manipulation.
19:49And this social network war,
19:50which was known as a tactics of the armies,
19:53has now become global,
19:54with hyperconnectivity
19:56and is also moving on the battlefield,
19:59by transposing, for example,
20:02physical conflicts in the virtual space.
20:05And in this pattern of confrontation,
20:07several territories find themselves
20:09in the middle of wars
20:11of which they are neither the main cause
20:13nor a great privilege.
20:15Indeed, it is these classic wars
20:17that turn into virtual wars.
20:19This is what explains
20:20that certain conflicts,
20:21which have resurfaced,
20:22especially between Russia and Ukraine,
20:24have had a very resounding setback
20:26in Africa.
20:29Many experts believe
20:32that social networks
20:34have an accelerating effect.
20:37Don't you think that this phenomenon
20:40in terms of instability
20:42in a region that is already
20:44prey to insecurity?
20:48Yes, it is true that the profusion
20:51of the media of diffusion and influencers
20:53leads to a growing overexposure
20:56to information,
20:57whether professional, advertising
20:59or related to the news.
21:01Today, this information is exchanged,
21:03relayed in an informal,
21:05permanent, intangible way
21:07between individuals,
21:08according to flows that are quite complex,
21:11without clear traceability.
21:12And I believe that these are
21:14new geostrategic challenges
21:16favored by the regime change
21:18in some West African countries
21:20and their desire to break up
21:22with former international partners.
21:24And we see that today,
21:25we will have to be careful.
21:27It is a real issue of stability,
21:29but also of survival,
21:31and if I dare say,
21:32of the future of democracy
21:34and the viability of our states.
21:36Dr. Bakary Samb,
21:38thank you for this insight.
21:41Thank you for all these details.
21:43I remind you that you are
21:44the Regional Director of the Timbuktu Institute.
21:48Thank you for your invitation
21:50and have a good day.
21:54This is how this edition ends.
21:57Thank you for following it.
21:59Stay with us.
22:00The information continues on Mediantv.
