00:00We are still together on Median TV. Thank you for staying loyal to us. Here are the
00:20titles of your newspaper.
00:22Russia agrees to cease strikes on energy infrastructures in Ukraine for 30 days.
00:27It is one of the highlights of the telephone interview that the Russian president had today with his American counterpart, Donald Trump. We will talk about it in a moment.
00:39More than 400 dead, the horror and carnage of returning to Gaza after the resumption of Israeli strikes yesterday on the Palestinian enclave.
00:47This is only the beginning, assures the Israeli Prime Minister.
00:52Violent repression, alarming deterioration of the living conditions of migrants.
00:58The Tunisian League for the Defense of Human Rights sounds the alarm and calls for the chaotic management of the migration crisis by the authorities.
01:10Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin had a telephone interview today.
01:15They agreed to a cease-fire agreement between Russia and Ukraine.
01:20But the American and Russian presidents agreed on a limit on Ukrainian energy infrastructures.
01:28Vladimir Putin also accepted in exchange demands of 175 prisoners of war with Ukraine.
01:34For the rest, the Russian president carried out his conditions, including the end of the rearmament of Ukraine.
01:41He also asked Donald Trump to stop Western aid to Kiev.
01:46A conversation followed closely by European leaders.
01:53I told you, this conversation was closely followed by European leaders.
01:58For the French president, this is not conceivable without the Ukrainians around the table.
02:04For Emmanuel Macron, the objective must remain the same, to have a measurable and verifiable cease-fire,
02:11fully respected, a solid and sustainable peace, and the guarantees that go with the declaration he made in Berlin
02:19alongside the Chancellor from Germany, Olaf Scholz.
02:23A solid and sustainable peace for Ukraine and for security in Europe.
02:29And he, supported by the United States, wants to settle everything by force.
02:32Benjamin Netanyahu obviously does not intend to back down.
02:3624 hours after the resumption of the strikes of Tsar on Gaza, for the Israeli Prime Minister, this is only the beginning.
02:42From now on, the negotiations on the liberation of the hostages still held in Gaza will only take place under fire,
02:50he declared today during a television speech.
02:53He responded to the families of hostages who accused him of sacrificing their loved ones by ordering these intensive and murderous bombings.
03:04Strikes that cost the lives of more than 400 Gazanis yesterday,
03:08the UN denounces at the intolerable level of suffering of the Palestinian people.
03:15Israel continues to violate the ceasefire agreement.
03:18Unprecedented strikes on Monday night on the Gaza Strip killed more than 400 people.
03:24This is one of the most important rules since the beginning of the ceasefire on January 19th.
03:30For its part, Hamas accuses the Israeli Prime Minister of using war as a lifeline
03:37in the face of his political problems and of having decided to sacrifice the hostages still alive in Gaza.
03:49We were sleeping when the shelling hit our house and our neighbors.
03:54We woke up to try to save the victims.
03:57We were able to save this girl and her parents who were under the tents.
04:11We did not witness a ceasefire, we don't even believe it.
04:15Hundreds of victims have been found dead, we are fed up.
04:18Strikes are everywhere.
04:26This situation made the international community react.
04:29The UN leader said he was shocked by the Israeli strikes.
04:33According to his spokesman, Antonio Guterres launched an urgent call for the ceasefire to be respected,
04:40for humanitarian aid to be restored and for the remaining hostages to be released unconditionally.
04:46The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said he was horrified by the Israeli strikes.
04:54He called for the ceasefire to be stopped immediately.
04:57According to him, the only way to follow is a political settlement in accordance with international law.
05:03Israel's use of even more military force will only increase misery
05:09on a Palestinian population already suffering from catastrophic conditions.
05:14Several countries have denounced this new attack,
05:17including Egypt, Jordan and Turkey,
05:20which evokes a new phase in Israel's genocidal policy that defies the laws of humanity.
05:26These strikes have a major impact on the truce,
05:29at a time when indirect negotiations led by the mediating countries on the continuation of the ceasefire are at a dead end.
05:37In Gaza, the humanitarian situation is indescribable,
05:41says our correspondent Alcott Valéry Ferrand, who is listening.
05:45Let's remember that we are witnessing scenes like the beginning of the total war launched by Israel
05:52in the last months of 2023,
05:55and that we are one and a half years after the beginning of this total war,
06:01and that everything has already been devastated in the Gaza Strip,
06:05notably the health sector,
06:08that there has been famine after famine throughout the year,
06:12and that at the moment there is a return to famine,
06:15simply because Israel has stopped humanitarian aid during the first phase of the ceasefire,
06:21and has again imposed a total siege on the entire population since the beginning of Ramadan.
06:27So we are in a total chaos, a total despair,
06:31with explosions that have been described by witnesses as extremely strong,
06:38with bodies thrown from people who were thrown from apartments targeted by missiles.
06:44On the ground, many bodies were completely torn apart,
06:47and as you said, of course, many women, many children,
06:51and it is also necessary to understand that the bombings are still continuing in an intensive manner,
06:58the Israeli government is even threatening to intensify them again,
07:02and at the same time the Israeli army on the ground has resumed its policy of massive evacuation orders of civilians.
07:09We know what this has given for more than a year,
07:12it means people who are put in danger,
07:16not simply in the places where they must be evacuated,
07:19because we have seen the missiles fired on the so-called securitized areas' tent villages,
07:23but also on the way to these areas.
07:26So we know very well that the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip are absolutely not safe in any place,
07:34while the bombings continue,
07:37and these evacuation orders therefore fear that the Israeli army will carry out a new ground operation inside the territory.
07:46In this context, the Yemeni rebels denounce the murderous Israeli strikes.
07:52They also promise to continue the escalation and to intensify their own operations to support Hamas.
07:59This morning, they claimed their third attack in 48 hours against American warships,
08:04as well as attacks following American strikes against the Houthis last weekend,
08:09who targeted the capital Sana'a and other regions of the country,
08:13and who made 53 deaths and 98 injured.
08:19For the American president, Iran would now be held responsible for each shot of the Houthi rebels.
08:26These statements from the White House host survive after the American strikes,
08:30which targeted Sana'a and other regions under the control of the Houthis,
08:34and which resulted in dozens of deaths this weekend in Yemen.
08:42In the Red Sea, each shot fired by the Houthis, Iran would now be held responsible.
08:47This is what Donald Trump said on his True Social platform on Monday.
08:51He explained that each Houthi shot will be considered from now on
08:55as a shot fired by Iranian weapons and Iran's leaders.
08:59We will overcome the consequences, which will be terrible.
09:03Our message to Iran is that you will do better to take this president seriously.
09:08And I think the Houthis have learned from their mistakes last weekend.
09:11This president will not stay on his feet and allow terrorists to launch attacks
09:16against commercial ships and buildings of the US Navy.
09:20These actions will no longer be tolerated.
09:23The American president added that Tehran dictates the slightest actions of the Houthis,
09:28to whom it provides highly sophisticated weapons, money and military equipment,
09:32and even so-called intelligence.
09:34This weekend, American strikes targeted the Yemeni capital, Sana'a,
09:38and other regions under the control of the Houthis, resulting in dozens of deaths.
09:44We are militarily striking the Houthis.
09:46This is not a one-night operation.
09:48We are making fun of what is happening in the civil war in Yemen.
09:51We are putting an end to the shooting of ships in this sea route.
09:56In Riposte, the rebels claimed Sunday and Monday two distinct attacks
10:00on the US aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea,
10:04claiming to have fired ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, as well as drones.
10:08The United States did not confirm these two attacks.
10:11Tens of thousands of people demonstrated on Monday in Yemen
10:14at the call of the Houthi rebels to denounce the American strikes.
10:18And in the face of escalation, the UN asked the United States and the Houthis
10:22to stop all military activity.
10:25We call for the greatest restraint and cessation of all military activities.
10:29Any new escalation could exacerbate regional tensions,
10:32fuel cycles of retaliation likely to further destabilize Yemen and the region
10:37and pose serious risks to the already disastrous humanitarian situation in the country.
10:42We insist that international law, including humanitarian international law,
10:47should be respected by all parties and at all times.
10:52China, in turn, called for dialogue and a de-escalation,
10:56claiming that the situation in the Red Sea and the Yemeni issue
10:59are complex issues and must be resolved appropriately by dialogue.
11:03On the other hand, Germany said on Monday that all reactions to the attacks of the Houthis
11:08should be made in accordance with international law.
11:13Addis Ababa, Morocco, which presides over the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union,
11:18emphasized today in front of the Council, in front of the CPS,
11:22the imperative of accompanying countries in political transition
11:27to accelerate their return to the Pan-African institution.
11:31During informal consultations with Burkina Faso, Gabon, Guinea, Mali, Niger and Sudan,
11:38convened by the Kingdom, which presides over the CPS of the UAE for March,
11:43the Moroccan delegation emphasized the importance of dialogue
11:47and regular consultations with countries in political transition.
11:54In Senegal, President Bassir Oudiamin Faibou Clonan is at the head of the country.
11:58He was elected on March 17 between social, economic and foreign policy reforms.
12:04What assessment to make of these first 12 months at the head of the country?
12:08This is the answer in this report signed by Eva Sagna and Moussa Ndiaye.
12:13It has been a year since President Bassir Oudiamin Faibou Clonan took office.
12:17A mandate marked by initiatives and notable challenges,
12:21this international relations specialist gives an overview of some achievements.
12:28First of all, the fight against corruption.
12:30He has fought against corruption.
12:32Since his inauguration, he has launched deep studies in the mining, gas and oil sectors.
12:39So it was really something important.
12:43As you know, the government has tried to strengthen relations with neighboring countries
12:49by conducting official visits in Guinea, Mauritania and also in Gambia.
12:56In terms of institutional reforms,
12:59the government dissolved the National Assembly and organized elections in November.
13:05For this retired journalist, hope is permitted.
13:09He believes that Senegal can count on Diomay and Ousmane Sonko.
13:15The president is very wise, correct and respectful.
13:19They are workers.
13:21If you see them, you know they are workers.
13:24So there is hope.
13:26I would like to give them a chance and give them time.
13:29Because it is limited, as I said earlier, it is just limited.
13:32One of the current authorities has also been characterized by a desire for transformation and reform,
13:40especially in the face of the socio-economic realities that the country is facing.
13:46With the enrichment, we no longer export.
13:49Today, Senegal can target itself in the years to come to have self-sufficiency in this area
13:54and to allow our oil companies to make oil and maybe export it,
13:59and to even benefit from the value chain.
14:02It's not just that.
14:04There is also the revision of the fishing agreements,
14:07which will take into account the interests of Senegal
14:11and a better management of Senegal's adiabatic resources.
14:15There is also the audit of public finances,
14:21because it has allowed to clarify the situation in Senegal.
14:25Ara Peli, the current president of Senegal,
14:28has sworn on April 2, 2024,
14:31an accession to the Supreme Magistrate,
14:34marked by the promise to respond to the huge expectations of Senegalese.
14:38Today, the optimism of these Senegalese is still at the rendezvous.
14:44For the Angolan presidency, all the conditions were met for the start of direct negotiations.
14:49A delegation from Kinshasa even made the trip to Luanda.
14:52The problem is that the M23 had decided long before
14:56to boycott these discussions intended to silence the weapons in the east of the RDC.
15:03Negotiations for the end of the war in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo
15:08will still have to wait.
15:10These, to speak, had to be the first between Kinshasa and the M23
15:14since the beginning of the conflict in 2021.
15:17The M23 announced that it could no longer continue its participation
15:21in the discussions organized by the Angolan president Joajo Lorenzo,
15:26mediator of the African Union, in this conflict.
15:29Following new sanctions imposed by the European Union
15:32against Rwandan military leaders and M23 leaders,
15:36the talks in Angola will be without the M23.
15:40In this statement, the armed group also accuses
15:43some international institutions of deliberately sabotaging peace efforts.
15:48The Democratic Republic of Congo has maintained its participation
15:52in the peace talks scheduled for Tuesday in Luanda
15:55on the conflict in the east of the country.
15:57The armed group, which had initially welcomed favorably the announcement of the talks,
16:02had even announced on Monday that it would send a delegation of five people to Luanda.
16:07Since then, Rwanda has announced the breakup of its diplomatic relations with Belgium,
16:12the first country to adopt European sanctions.
16:15Recalling that according to experts from the UN,
16:17some 4,000 Rwandan soldiers support the M23,
16:21a movement that claims to defend the interests of Tutsi populations in eastern RDC.
16:28In Tunisia, the coast guards proceeded yesterday to the rescue of nearly 600 migrants.
16:33On the spot, the deterioration of the living conditions of the migrants is worrying.
16:37They are often raped.
16:39The Tunisian League for the Defense of Human Rights
16:42sounds the alarm and calls for the chaotic management of the migratory crisis by the authorities.
16:48Najwa Bechat.
16:50Tunisia is once again the scene of a violent repression
16:54against sub-Saharan migrants stuck in an impasse,
16:57waiting to cross into Europe.
16:59The Tunisian League for the Defense of Human Rights
17:02has expressed its deep concern
17:04in the face of the alarming deterioration of the situation of sub-Saharan migrants in Tunisia,
17:09victims of aggression and violation of their rights.
17:13In a statement, the League denounced a migratory crisis
17:17whose chaotic management continues to exacerbate economic and social tensions
17:22affecting both migrants and Tunisians.
17:26A position is shared by the Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights.
17:32The management of the migratory issue in Tunisia is a security approach par excellence.
17:38Today, migration is considered a threat to national security
17:43and requires many measures,
17:45including equipment, sharing of security data,
17:49blocking access to Italian quotas and expulsions to the border.
17:54Indeed, thousands of women and men migrants live in difficult private conditions
17:59without all social services, care, health, water and food
18:04in rudimentary housing, which is a threat to their health.
18:09The situation in El Hamra has been described for several months as a delaying bomb.
18:15The region has become the point of fixation for candidates for illegal migration.
18:20This portion of the coast near the sea currents towards Lampedusa
18:25is one of the main starting points.
18:28On their side, the inhabitants of the surrounding areas complain of theft and aggression
18:33by the subsidiaries established in these camps of fortune.
18:40The presence of nearly a million of our African brothers in Tunisia
18:44represents a burden for the state
18:46due to its limited ability to face the situation.
18:50This is why the ambassadors of these countries,
18:53in coordination with the Tunisian officials,
18:55must find solutions for their refugees,
18:58because Tunisia is neither a land of implantation nor a land of transit.
19:03The solutions are in their country, not in ours.
19:07It should be noted that the visit of an anti-immigration parliamentarian
19:11in an olive grove in El Hamra, south of Sbeniena,
19:14where sub-Saharan migrants have found refuge,
19:17triggered these new troubles.
19:19Accompanied by cameras, she was horrified to see, as she said,
19:24a real city created there, with its own hospital,
19:28its shops, its cinema and even its cafes.
19:31While a vast campaign against sub-Saharan migrants in Tunisia is taking shape,
19:36the Tunisian state adheres to its principle
19:39of no transit, no installation.
19:44In Morocco, good news for the economic agents.
19:47Banco Al Marib announces a new reduction of its CEO to 2.25%.
19:52This is the third reduction since last June.
19:55And to make its decision, the central bank relied on a low inflation,
19:59which should oscillate around 2%, and a very low grain harvest,
20:04not exceeding 35 million quintals.
20:07Given the evolution of inflation at online levels,
20:10with the objective of stabilizing prices,
20:13and in order to strengthen its support for economic activity and employment,
20:17the Council has decided to reduce the CEO to 0.25%.
20:22We stay in Morocco, where the last rains allowed to increase the kingdom's water stocks.
20:28According to the latest figures published this morning by the Ministry of Equipment and Water,
20:33the filling rate has reached 35.6%.
20:36Even if this rate is a sharp increase compared to the same period last year,
20:41it is half a month that the level of water resources remains low.
20:47The Minister of Equipment and Water, Nizar Baraka,
20:52and then Khaled El Romary, Director of the Hydraulic Basin Agency of Cebu.
20:59I would like to remind you that thanks to the rain,
21:03there has been a great improvement in the water supply for this basin,
21:07especially since the Oued El Oueda dam, which is the largest dam,
21:10had a water supply of 400 million cubic meters.
21:13It is important to remember that the last rains allowed to feed several water reservoirs,
21:18which have reached significant levels,
21:20notably the Oueda dam, which recorded nearly 400 million cubic meters during this month.
21:25These rains were beneficial.
21:27They helped to reduce the rainfall deficit in all the hydraulic basins,
21:32but still remain below the recorded time during normal periods.
21:40In this sense, we must accelerate the work of the construction of the large dams of the hydraulic basin of Cebu.
21:46Another important project is that of the integrated water management
21:49in order to respect the contract of the CEIS.
21:56The Minister of Equipment and Water has focused on the efforts made by the government
22:01to deal with the effects of hydraulic stress that we have experienced in recent years.
22:06In this sense, five major projects are being carried out
22:09and will have to increase the capacity of global storage
22:13in order to meet the needs of the people of Cebu.
22:16We will continue to work with the Ministry of Water Resources
22:20These projects are being carried out and will have to increase the capacity of global storage
22:25of all the works in the Cebu basin.
22:28The work of the dams of Mdez and Cudit Borna is almost complete.
22:33As for the Ortba dam, it has reached a 33% completion rate
22:38and 87% for the Sidi Abbou dam.
22:42Gabon is facing post-transition economic challenges.
22:45The National Assemblies are holding a meeting
22:48with the authorities and partners around an objective
22:51to mobilize resources for investment and financing for the development of the country.
22:56Kevin Oswald of CAGA
22:58Developing a roadmap to mobilize resources, attract investments and strengthen economic resilience,
23:04Gabon is engaging in a strategic reflection.
23:07An opportunity for the authorities to agree on a consensus agenda
23:12of concrete reforms related to the common priorities of financing and development
23:17at the end of the political transition process.
23:20We need to review the way we interact with each other
23:25because the economy depends mainly on the dynamics of the economy.
23:31Organized by the Ministry of Economy and Participation
23:34with the support of partners in development,
23:37these meetings are a platform for exchanges on the economic challenges of Gabon.
23:42The United Nations are in contact with Gabon
23:45and we are in contact with them.
23:48We are in contact with them.
23:51We are in contact with them.
23:54We are in contact with them.
23:57We are in contact with them.
24:00We are in contact with them.
24:03They are close to the Gabonese government
24:06in their quest for a robust and long-lasting funding for its development.
24:11This commitment is illustrated by the mobilization of several UN agencies
24:18throughout these sessions.
24:21Together, let's translate these strategic reflections into concrete action
24:26to guarantee a prosperous and sustainable future for Gabon.
24:30The conclusions and recommendations from these sessions
24:33will serve as a basis for work to establish the national strategy
24:37for renewed financing and a roadmap that will support
24:40the next vision of the country's economic development.
24:45This is the end of this newspaper.
24:46Thank you for following it.
24:47In a few moments, new points on the news.
