00:00Welcome everyone, thank you for joining us in this new edition of the Média1 TV Grand Journal, here are the headlines.
00:24The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was welcomed in Washington to talk about the second phase of the ceasefire in Gaza.
00:39In France, François Bayrou will resort to Article 49.3 to adopt the budget despite the threat of censorship.
00:53And then in the Sahrawi Raid 2025, the duo composed of Moroccan Fatemh Zahra Raghish and Soukaina Hammam are at the top of the rankings at the end of the first day. We'll talk about it in a moment.
01:09Let's start this edition with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who must speak on Monday in Washington with his American ally on the second phase of the ceasefire in Gaza.
01:27Benjamin Netanyahu arrived on Sunday in the American capital, where he will become the first foreign leader received by Donald Trump since the investment of this symbol of the indefatigable alliance between the two countries.
01:42The Israeli Prime Minister must speak in Washington with Steve Whitkoff, Donald Trump's special envoy for the Middle East.
01:51Last night, Trump assured that discussions on the Middle East with Israel and several other countries are progressing.
01:59After Netanyahu, he must receive King Abdullah II of Jordan on February 11.
02:13The Palestinian presidency denounced this Monday the ethnic cleansing committed, according to it, by Israel of the occupied Jordan in statements of its spokesman at the Palestinian Press Agency,
02:32condemning Israeli military operations, notably in the north of Jordan.
02:38In recent days, Nabil Abu Rudeina estimated that it aimed to implement forced displacement plans and ethnic cleansing, and called on the American administration to intervene before it was too late.
03:01And in the United States, President Donald Trump assured on Sunday that European products will soon be reviewed by customs authorities after what he imposed on products from Canada, Mexico and China.
03:27They really benefit from us. You know, we have a deficit of 300 billion dollars. They don't take our cars, our agricultural products, almost nothing.
03:39And we all take millions of cars, huge levels of agricultural products.
03:46Did he explain to the press? I don't have a calendar, but it's for very soon.
03:58After the American imposition of customs rights on products from Canada, Mexico and China, these three countries launched the riposte.
04:12Ottawa will impose customs rights on American products as soon as Tuesday. Mexico is counting on it. As for China, it promises to take corresponding measures.
04:29Canada is riposting against the customs rights imposed by Donald Trump. As soon as Tuesday, the North American country will impose 25% customs rights on American products for a total of 155 billion Canadian dollars. This represents a fifth of annual American imports to Canada.
04:52Tonight, I announce that Canada will respond to the commercial action of the United States. This will include immediate tariffs on goods worth 30 billion Canadian dollars, followed by new tariffs on American products worth 125 billion, including 21 days, in order to allow Canadian companies and supply chains to look for alternatives.
05:15On Tuesday, followed by further tariffs.
05:18Mexico, like Canada, responded firmly on Saturday. These American taxes threaten exports, growth and Mexican currency, because 83% of the country's exports go to the American neighbor.
05:33The trade war initiated by Donald Trump could quickly affect the European Union. If the American president has not yet specified the amount of taxes he could impose on the European Union, he points to the trade deficit between the United States and the European Union. A deficit estimated last November at $214 billion over a year, including $76 billion with Germany.
05:59As far as the European Union is concerned, I can say that it is a strong economic zone. It has its own field of action. It is very important that we work closely between the United Kingdom and the European Union as far as the way in which we develop the broader relationship with the United States. The transatlantic partnership is of absolute importance to all of us.
06:22The European Union, which says it regrets this increase in customs rights, is ready to respond firmly if it is targeted. Donald Trump recognized on Sunday that the customs rights he established the day before with the main partners of the United States may make the Americans suffer, but it will be worth the price.
06:43And in the news, also four days after the air collision in Washington between a airliner and a military helicopter that cost the lives of 67 people. 55 bodies were found from the Potomac River and identified. Local authorities indicated yesterday.
07:03New bodies have been located and retrieved. So far, 55 victims of this accident have been identified. This is what the chief of the firefighters of the American capital said during a press conference yesterday afternoon.
07:19We are waiting to find other bodies. The fuselage of the aircraft has been specified. After a meticulous preparation work, the emergency services plan to start the lifting operations of the wreck of the aircraft on Monday.
07:40The investigators of the American Agency for the Security of Independent Transport of the government hope to publish a preliminary report in 30 days. Their complete investigation could take a year.
07:56France, where François Bayrouf will make use for the first time this Monday of the Article 49 Alinea 3 of the Constitution to make the budget adopted, thus putting at stake his post on Wednesday during a motion of censorship in the adoption of the Socialists and the National Assembly.
08:24Two months after the fall of the government in Barnier, the deputies must examine from 4 p.m. the text of the compromise in which a mixed, parity commission was laid on Friday.
08:39The deputies will meet at 8 p.m. in the Parliament of the two chambers. The Prime Minister will probably have a second 49.3 tonight on the first part of the budget for social security, which will arrive in a new reading at the Assembly.
08:59Two or three 49.3 in total will have to be triggered on this text before its transmission to the Senate. One for each party.
09:12And then in Belgium, the head of the Conservatives, Flemish Bart De Wever, became this Monday officially the new Prime Minister by pledging in front of King Philip at the Royal Palace with the 14 members of his government.
09:35Nearly eight months after the legislative elections, marked by the victory of his NVA party in Flanders, Bart De Wever will anchor the country more to the right with the four partner parties of his coalition.
09:52The new Prime Minister has promised to be stricter on the policy of asylum, security and to reward work by limiting the right to unemployment payments to two years.
10:07This new governmental team succeeds that of the Liberal. Alexander Dekroof has been in office since October 2023. This team signs the return to the power of the New Flemish Alliance, NVA already associated with a right-wing government between 2014 and 2018.
10:32And in the rest of the news, the British Prime Minister, Starmer, will be in Brussels today to participate in a meeting of the leaders of the European Union.
10:47A first for a British leader since Brexit, voted by referendum in 2016 and acted in 2020. The program of discussions focused on cooperation in the field of defence and security in the context of the war in Ukraine.
11:08This is indicated by a statement by Downing Street, specifying that Starmer will meet this afternoon NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte before going to the informal meeting of the European Council.
11:23In addition to the situation in Ukraine, the working leader intends to present his ambitious partnership project between the United Kingdom and the European Union in the field of defence and security with measures aimed at strengthening cooperation on shared threats and going further in the fight against trans-frontal crime and illegal immigration.
11:53In Morocco, students are back in classrooms, a return marked by the launch of a vast vaccination campaign against measles in schools.
12:06The Ministry of Education also wants to block the road to the spread of this disease. Spaces will be set up in schools to ensure the good progress of the important operation.
12:25Measures will be taken, including the eviction of students whose parents refuse vaccination. Schools identified as epidemiological centres may be closed on the recommendation of health authorities.
12:51Listen, these are measures aimed at protecting the health of populations. It is not about stigmatizing children or families, it is simply about protecting others.
13:03Why? Because a child who is not vaccinated and has measles or is a carrier of the virus risks infecting several children. I remind you that the basic reproduction rate of measles is much higher than other infectious diseases.
13:18The basic reproduction rate of measles is between 2.5 and 3 and that of measles is between 15 and 17. So it is to protect other children. Children who are vaccinated protect others, but children who are not vaccinated risk infecting other children and themselves risk infecting others and even adult subjects. We must not forget this.
13:41Listen, these are measures that are logical on the part of the Ministry of Education in coordination with the Ministry of Health and Social Protection. It is simply the school eviction. What is called school eviction? These are children who will have to stay at home until their healing to avoid infecting other children.
14:11It is also important to remember that measles can also affect adult subjects, it can affect the elderly and in some cases, of course, it is not the majority, but in some cases it can create quite serious complications that are respiratory, that are meningococcal or encephalic or other.
14:31And so we must protect not only children, but also their parents and grandparents. And that is why these measures, which may seem drastic, are measures that are logical to protect the health of populations and to ensure that as many children as possible are vaccinated to protect themselves and protect others.
14:51We are still following this newspaper in Morocco with this new weather alert, with this wave of cold that will continue until Tuesday. Snowfalls are expected in several provinces of the kingdom.
15:06This Monday, heavy rains are expected in the provinces of Detouan, Chefchaouen, Fahs-Anjra, Mdik, Fnadak-Taza and Al-Husayma. The provinces of Larache, Tangier, Assela, Ouzane and Tawnet will experience the same phenomenon.
15:37What crops will benefit from these rains and can they save the agricultural year? We asked these questions to Mohamed Tahar Sreirich, Professor of Higher Education at the Hassan II Institute for Agronomy and Veterinary Studies.
15:57The crops that will benefit from the latest rainfall, of course, are the agricultural trees in general, the perennial crops that remain there over time. But the annual crops, mainly cereals and to a lesser degree, the food legumes, have suffered greatly from the absence of rain, we can talk about the absence of rain during the fall and the beginning of winter.
16:20And we have seen it, so the surfaces covered in cereals have been reduced to the skin of a grain, there is almost nothing. And unfortunately, this means the use of record imports of cereals to supply the market. Imports also, and this is a new fact, of milk powder and red meat, because the natural routes and foraging cultures are in a bad state.
16:42These last rains mainly concern half, I would say, the north of the country, beyond Ouad Houmarbert. So everything south of Oumarbert today is in great suffering, it has hardly rained. The natural routes, which serve as a basis for farming activities, are in great suffering.
17:02These are, of course, the consequences, we have seen it, it is the loss of self-sufficiency in red meat, it is the risk of not being able to supply the market for the sacrificial animals of Laït-la-Athah. There too, it is posing a real problem for this specific holiday, which must be remembered in Morocco, it is called Laït-le-Kébir, it is the big holiday.
17:24So the last type of culture that will also benefit from these rains, of course, is farming, everything that is vegetables, and we all know the importance of these cultures for the national market and also for export.
17:38And in this context of glacial time, the hot winter operation continues, especially in Rnefra, on Place des Sans-Abris.
17:48In Rnefra, more than 106 people were welcomed in food centers, mattresses and blankets. They were provided with this action plan to fight the effects of the target cold wave. 49 fingers spread over 9 rural communes, with a total population of about 27,697 people.
18:19Araba, you certainly noticed it, the umbrellas, the air conditioners are starting to disappear from the facades of buildings. An operation carried out by local authorities, which aims to make the capital of the kingdom even more welcoming.
18:36The city of Lumière is undergoing an urban remodeling. For a few days, local authorities have launched a large-scale operation to get rid of the facades of the buildings of the parabolic antennas and air conditioners installed in an anarchic way. The goal is to improve the aesthetic aspect of the capital and put an end to the non-compliant implementation of these equipment.
18:58Araba is undergoing a major transformation at several levels. The work in this direction has already begun. Morocco will soon host continental and world events, and it is essential to intensify efforts in the framework of these projects aimed at preserving the aesthetics of public spaces.
19:14A field work is already underway, but it is also crucial that each citizen participates in this initiative by contributing with their own efforts and respecting the projects in progress.
19:25While public authorities have begun to dismantle these equipment, a campaign of awareness has been launched on the ground to ban the installation of new devices on the facades of buildings. The goal is to ensure that new constructions and renovations respect the established standards.
19:45I fully support this decision, which will contribute to the embellishment of the city. These equipment harm the aesthetics of Moroccan buildings. We hope that they will be banned in order to preserve the authenticity of the traditional architecture of Morocco.
19:59This initiative will also allow tourists to fully appreciate the beauty of our architectural heritage.
20:06This cleaning operation of the facades does not constitute a novelty. It relies on a municipal decree adopted in 2018 prohibiting the installation of such equipment on the facades of buildings.
20:19How is the 7th African Art doing?
20:23We will have the answer to this question in a few days.
20:27In Burkina Faso, the 29th edition of the FESPACO, the Pan-African Film Festival, will be held from February 22 to March 1.
20:40In Togo, Senegal, it will be well represented with 20 films nominated. More details with Aichata Diakite and Cheikh Endaou.
20:51In a few weeks, Africa will celebrate African cinema on the occasion of the 29th edition of the FESPACO. Several Senegalese films have been selected for this prestigious event, including Debo, a play directed by Abdoulah Had.
21:08The series that is in competition this year is called Debo.
21:11In fact, it is the story of a woman who lost her sister in dramatic conditions in Senegal, in a health center,
21:21and who came to open, through her association, a center to help and support women in abuse, such as rape, or who have health problems in the Dakar suburb.
21:36The African Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou aims to reflect the diversity and richness of African cinema and the diaspora.
21:46For OUN, any artistic work should contribute to raise awareness among the population.
21:52I always say that a film or television work, even at a certain level, must have a message, defend values, want to show something, not want to do something.
22:05It is an extension of oneself, of what we think, of our point of view in relation to such and such other events.
22:16For example, in the series, there are parts where we talk about depigmentation.
22:22For this 29th edition, which will be held from February 22 to March 1, 2025, in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Senegalese cinema actors carry the colors of the nation.
22:33Today, we have about twenty films selected, a total of 24 films and projects selected to participate in this 29th edition of the Festival.
22:46I believe that there are some young people today who are enrolled in this cinema.
22:51We have in competition a film that portrays Wologane, the Malian writer who has been accused of plagiarism.
23:02It is happy today to see these young people carrying this story on the screen and taking advantage of this story of the continent.
23:11According to this film critic, Senegal is on the right track to unlock the golden talents of Yelenga, especially thanks to the nomination of the film Demba, directed by Mamadou Dia.
23:23Back in Morocco, Tangier, which hosted an exhibition organized by the Bayez Mal Al-Quds agency.
23:31An exhibition in which the governor of Al-Quds took the opportunity, seized by Adnan Raed, to salute the constant support of His Majesty, King Mohammed VI, to Mardishi.
23:43A support put forward during this exhibition, during which the Arab representatives were called to give more importance to the Holy City
23:56and to the preservation of its civilizational religious heritage as a place of cohabitation of the three monotheistic religions.
24:06And we are going to go to the discovery of the Moroccan football museum.
24:14This space, guardian of time and history of these beautiful sports disciplines in Morocco, opened its doors to the public on Saturday.
24:23Watch, it's a report by Maha Gemel, the story's director, and Sheyma Fekri.
24:30Visitors now have the opportunity to discover the Moroccan football museum every weekend from 10 to 6 p.m.
24:39This museum represents the result of a constant effort to make this place an emblematic monument, both in Africa and in the Arab world, and a real historical reference for national football.
24:51The Moroccans have been waiting for this day for a long time, because the Moroccan football museum is about to open.
25:01This day is exceptional, as expected by the Moroccans. The doors of the Moroccan football museum are now officially open.
25:09The inauguration of this space took place last March, in the presence of the head of the government, as well as several ministers and high-ranking officials in the Moroccan football sector.
25:19Initially, the museum will be accessible only during the weekends.
25:24Entry fees are symbolic in order to allow all Moroccans to discover the history of football from its beginnings at the beginning of the last century until now.
25:33The history of Moroccan football from the beginning of the last century until 2014.
25:40This large space with contemporary architecture, equipped with the most advanced technologies, arouses the curiosity of visitors.
25:47They can walk through these six corridors, each telling a unique story.
25:55The museum extends over an area of 2,100 square meters.
26:00The museum extends over an area of 2,100 square meters, divided between two exhibition spaces, a temporary space and a permanent space.
26:08The first offers an overview of the various participations of the Moroccan national teams in the FIFA World Cup since their first participation in 1970.
26:17As for the permanent exhibition space, it is structured around six main themes, which trace the history of Moroccan football.
26:25Royal vision, land of pioneers, land of excellence, hall of fame, land of hospitality and finally, land of passion.
26:40What I particularly appreciated in this museum are the trophies, the outfits of the national team and the old articles.
26:47It is an excellent initiative, especially for children, so that they can discover the history of this sport in Morocco.
27:02The creation of the Moroccan Football Museum is part of the enlightened vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
27:08aiming to preserve and enhance the rich football heritage of the Kingdom.
27:14The Moroccan duo Fatem Zarrarragui and Soukaina Hammam concluded the first day of the 11th edition of the Sahraouiya Raid, the first place.
27:23During this stage, the raiders ran more than 12 kilometers on foot,
27:29during which they showed endurance and determination throughout the course in the midst of impressive landscapes, in a perfect spirit of solidarity.
27:38During this stage, the Fatem Zarrarragui and Soukaina Hammam duo represented the Sahraouiya Red Association of Development and Solidarity.
27:47The Raiders were followed by Séverine Colombe and Isabelle Duparc in second place,
27:52and by Hélène Clanclé and Mérignac Jeanne in third place.
27:56In all the Sahraouiya Raids, the participants are accompanied by medical and technical staff
28:02to ensure that the event takes place in the best possible conditions.
28:08This is the end of this edition. Thank you for staying with us on Mediantv.
