00:00News from the Middle East
00:06Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
00:10and the Israeli government's
00:14attacks on Gaza
00:16Welcome to your Média TV news.
00:18Here are the headlines.
00:20In the Middle East,
00:22Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
00:25warns that the attacks on Gaza
00:28have killed more than 400 people,
00:30with only the beginning of the attack.
00:36The Houthis of Yemen
00:38claimed a fourth attack
00:40against the American aircraft carrier
00:42in the Red Sea
00:43in response to American strikes
00:45on their country.
00:49The Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi
00:52and Rwandan Paul Kagame
00:54met this Tuesday in Doha
00:56where they discussed the possibility
00:58of a ceasefire
00:59to try to put an end to the conflict
01:01in the east of the GDF.
01:08Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
01:11warned that the murderous strikes
01:14on Tuesday in Gaza were only the beginning,
01:17saying that military pressure
01:19was essential to ensure the release
01:22of the hostages still in the hands of Hamas.
01:26Hamas has already felt our strength
01:28in the last 24 hours
01:30and I want to assure you and them
01:32that this is only the beginning.
01:34Benjamin Netanyahu said
01:36in a televised speech
01:38that the negotiations on the release
01:40of the hostages still in Gaza
01:42will only take place under fire.
01:44He said that military pressure
01:46was essential
01:48to ensure the return.
01:50These strikes, which have killed
01:52more than 400 people,
01:54are the first of such magnitude
01:56and violence since the start
01:58of an agreement
02:00to cease fire on January 19.
02:02Hamas has called on friendly countries
02:05to put pressure on the United States
02:08to force Israel to put an end
02:10to its strikes on the Gaza Strip.
02:12It has accused Israel of violating the truce
02:15and of wanting to impose
02:17a surrender agreement on it.
02:20The Houthis said on Wednesday
02:22that they had carried out
02:24a fourth attack in 72 hours
02:26against the American aircraft carrier
02:28Harry Truman in the Red Sea
02:30in response to American strikes
02:32on their country.
02:34The Houthis have detected
02:36hostile military movements
02:38in the Red Sea
02:40in order to launch a large-scale
02:42air strike against our country.
02:44Their spokesman wrote on Telegram
02:46in response, he added
02:48that the Houthis had launched
02:50cruise missiles and drones
02:52against the aircraft carrier
02:54and other ships.
02:56The American army did not immediately
02:58respond to this claim.
03:00Last night, the Houthis claimed
03:02an attack on the base of Nevatim
03:04in the Negev desert
03:06in southern Israel.
03:08Anti-aircraft sirens
03:10resounded on Tuesday evening
03:12and the Israeli army indicated
03:14having intercepted a missile
03:16It is the first attack
03:18against Israel from Yemen
03:20since the beginning of the truce
03:22in Gaza on January 19.
03:24It comes after a series
03:26of massive Israeli strikes
03:28on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
03:34Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin
03:36also had a telephone interview
03:38on Tuesday
03:40in exchange for a real
03:42agreement
03:44to cease fire
03:46between Russia and Ukraine.
03:48But the American and Russian
03:50presidents agreed
03:52to a truce
03:54limited to Ukrainian
03:56energy infrastructure.
03:58For the rest, the Kremlin chief
04:00presented his conditions.
04:02The American president
04:04and his Russian counterpart
04:06held more than an hour and a half.
04:08Donald Trump seeks to convince
04:10Vladimir Putin to cease
04:12hostilities in Ukraine.
04:14During this telephone conversation,
04:16the Russian president set the conditions
04:18to cease fire in Ukraine
04:20including the end of the country's
04:22rearmament. In this statement,
04:24Moscow said it had accepted
04:26a 30-day mutual break
04:28in the strikes on Ukrainian
04:30energy infrastructure.
04:32The Kremlin described in detail
04:34and frankly the conversation
04:36between the two leaders.
04:38Vladimir Putin said he was ready
04:40on the possible routes of a
04:42settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.
04:44Ukraine has already accepted
04:46a 30-day unconditional ceasefire,
04:48a first step that Russia
04:50has not rejected.
04:52Ukrainian diplomacy chief
04:54Andrei Sibiga told him
04:56Tuesday that Moscow had to
04:58accept a truce unconditionally.
05:00At the end of this exchange,
05:02the American president seems ready
05:04to discuss granting Russia
05:06five Ukrainian regions,
05:08Donald Trump has already accepted
05:10Russian claims by judging,
05:12for example, the impossibility of
05:14maintaining the territorial integrity
05:16of Ukraine and its adhesion to NATO.
05:18As a first step, Russia
05:20and Ukraine will proceed on Wednesday
05:22to an exchange of 175
05:24prisoners of war from each side.
05:26In Germany,
05:28the deputies adopted
05:30this Tuesday an unprecedented
05:32investment plan. This package
05:34of several hundred billion euros
05:36affected defense
05:38and the economy required
05:40a softening of the rules of debt
05:42inscribed in the Constitution.
05:44With this historic plan,
05:46the future Chancellor Friedrich Merz
05:48wishes to rearm
05:50and modernize Germany
05:52and Europe.
05:54This historic vote
05:56in a Germany
05:58that has been championing
06:00budget orthodoxy for decades.
06:02513 deputies,
06:04the majority of two-thirds of the
06:06present parliamentarians,
06:08have approved the Bazooka.
06:10This plan envisages a softening
06:12of the debt limit
06:14that limits the ability to borrow
06:16for military expenses.
06:18Germany has long neglected
06:20the expenses of armament
06:22in favor of American protection
06:24since the end of the Second World War.
06:26This plan therefore aims to allow
06:28a massive increase in loans
06:30to support military spending
06:32and the European economy.
06:34We have believed in
06:36an illusory security
06:38in our society for at least a decade.
06:40We now have to rebuild
06:42our defense and acquisition
06:44capacities based on technology
06:46with automated systems,
06:48an autonomous European
06:50satellite surveillance,
06:52armed drones and many modern
06:54defense systems.
06:56The decision we make today
06:58for our country is the first
07:01In a context of war in Ukraine
07:03and increased geopolitical tensions,
07:05Europe must strengthen
07:07its military capabilities
07:09to avoid other conflicts,
07:11said the President of the European Commission
07:13during a speech in Copenhagen on Tuesday.
07:15Expressing himself at the Danish
07:17Royal Military Academy,
07:19Ursula von der Leyen
07:21said that if Europe wants to avoid
07:23war, Europe must prepare
07:25for war.
07:27Choice is none.
07:29Europe is ready to intensify
07:31its efforts. We are ready to take
07:33in hand the inevitable change.
07:35This means that acting now is a necessity.
07:37This is what Germany decides today.
07:39And these decisions are both
07:41historical and necessary.
07:43By 2030, Europe must have
07:45a strong defense posture.
07:47For the realization of the German
07:49Bazooka plan, 1,500 billion euros
07:51are at stake.
07:53This is added to a special fund
07:55out of budget of 500 billion euros
07:57over 12 years to modernize
07:59infrastructures and restart
08:01the first European economy
08:03in recession for two years.
08:05The plan also includes 100 billion
08:07affected by climate protection.
08:09According to Friedrich Merz,
08:11this sum is necessary to counter
08:13the war against Europe led by Russia.
08:15With the Bazooka, Germany
08:17wants to give a positive
08:19renewal for Europe.
08:21The Moroccan President of the
08:23Council of Peace and Security
08:25of the African Union
08:27emphasized this Tuesday
08:29in front of the CPS
08:31the imperative to accompany
08:33countries in political transition
08:35to accelerate their return
08:37within the Pan-African institution.
08:39A position expressed during
08:41informal consultations convened
08:43by the Kingdom with Burkina Faso,
08:45Gabon, Guinea, Mali, Niger
08:47and Sudan. The Moroccan delegation
08:49emphasized the importance
08:51of dialogue and regular
08:53communication with countries
08:55in political transition.
08:59The actions in Geneva
09:01on behalf of the Sahrawi
09:03associative actors
09:05have denounced the violations
09:07of human rights and the repression
09:09of dissident voices by the police
09:11in the camps of Tindouf.
09:13They have also condemned
09:15the situation of despair
09:17that prevails there,
09:19especially among young people.
09:21The Sahrawi associative actors
09:23expressed themselves during the 58th
09:25session of the Council
09:27of Human Rights in Geneva.
09:33And then in Morocco,
09:35heavy rains and water stocks
09:37that fill up.
09:39So much good news
09:41for farmers.
09:43Those met in the region of
09:45Sous Massa are more than angels
09:47and expect beautiful harvests.
09:49These abundant
09:51and general rainfall
09:53have helped to reduce
09:55the impact of drought
09:57that Morocco has experienced
09:59in recent years.
10:01In the region of Sous Massa,
10:03the accumulation of these rainfall
10:05is beneficial for the current
10:07agricultural season,
10:09also between 81 and 200 mm,
10:11with a significant increase
10:13compared to the previous
10:15agricultural season
10:17These last days,
10:19our region has benefited
10:21from heavy rainfalls.
10:23We recognize that these
10:25rainfalls have affected
10:27a large part of the region.
10:29The quantities vary from
10:31one region to another,
10:33with a prevalence
10:35especially in mountainous areas.
10:37Tiamriou and Imouzer
10:39have recorded more than 200 mm,
10:41while Tialiwine reached 130 mm
10:43and Tiznit has counted 80 mm.
10:47The rate of water retention
10:49and the gradual feeding
10:51of aquatic plants
10:53will have a positive impact
10:55on spring crops
10:57and fruit trees.
10:59These rainfalls will also
11:01have a favorable impact
11:03on the growth of vegetable
11:05cover in the region.
11:07This includes an important
11:09patching surface,
11:11guaranteeing abundant
11:13fodder resources for cattle,
11:15thus alleviating the burden
11:17of breeders.
11:19These favorable climatic conditions
11:21have also given a smile
11:23to the farmers of this region
11:25who now hope for a good
11:27agricultural season.
11:29These rains have revived
11:31the hope of the inhabitants
11:33because they contribute
11:35to reinforcing the phreatic map.
11:37The farmers have thus
11:39started their work.
11:41According to the data
11:43they have 17.3% GDP
11:45and a total of 451 hectares
11:47of cultivated land.
11:49In 107 hectares equipped
11:51with drip irrigation systems.
11:53Now we go to Marrakech,
11:55the city of Oukre,
11:57which continues
11:59to welcome many tourists
12:01during Ramadan,
12:03day and night.
12:05Difficult for visitors
12:07not to fall
12:09under its charm.
12:11The city of Oukre
12:13continues to attract
12:15national and international
12:17visitors during Ramadan.
12:19This sacred period
12:21offers a unique opportunity
12:23to discover the imperial city
12:25of Marrakech under a
12:27spiritual and cultural prism.
12:29Real capital of tourism
12:31in Morocco, Marrakech,
12:33unlike other tourist destinations
12:35in the kingdom,
12:37maintains a tourism activity
12:39during Ramadan.
12:41I am here for a week
12:43during Ramadan.
12:45I find it quite exceptional.
12:47The weather is good.
12:49People are very welcoming.
12:51It is very pleasant to
12:53take a tour in the souks.
12:55Also on this square,
12:57it is a charming journey.
12:59The emblematic sites of the city
13:01of Oukre remain accessible,
13:03while shops continue
13:05their activities
13:07during Ramadan,
13:09attracting visitors
13:11to taste local meals
13:13prepared during this blessed month.
13:15We arrived in Marrakech
13:17last night as a family,
13:19a group of girls.
13:21We found the Moroccans
13:23very welcoming.
13:25We ate good pastries.
13:27Tonight we have a Moroccan meal.
13:29Marrakech is exceptional.
13:31We eat,
13:33the food,
13:35the people are very nice.
13:37The Moroccans are very nice.
13:39The restaurants,
13:41you go in, you go out,
13:43you want to go in again,
13:45then you go out,
13:47then you go in again.
13:49Magnificent.
13:51Night guided tours,
13:53traditional shows
13:55and unique activities
13:57such as collective iftar
13:59in the emblematic sites
14:01are also organized
14:03and present suitable offers
14:05that attract all categories of tourists.
14:11It is useless to remember
14:13that Marrakech is the capital
14:15of the kingdom.
14:17A fundamental work allows
14:19this city and its region
14:21to maintain a constant
14:23and permanent dynamism.
14:25Although the month of Ramadan
14:27has a moderate impact
14:29on this dynamism,
14:31the activities
14:33in the field of tourism
14:35are different.
14:37Thanks to the programs
14:39proposed by the hotel units,
14:41a large number of tourists
14:43choose each year Marrakech
14:45as a holiday destination
14:47during this sacred month
14:49to discover the city of Okhre
14:51more particularly during the night
14:53when the city is more lively
14:55and more welcoming.
14:57The Congolese presidents
14:59have discussed
15:01a possible ceasefire
15:03to try to put an end
15:05to the conflict in the east
15:07of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
15:09This meeting took place
15:11while talks between
15:13Kinshasa and the armed group
15:15and the M23, which was supposed
15:17to be held the same day in Angola,
15:19did not take place.
15:21The African Union mediator
15:23in the crisis, the Angolan president
15:25João Lourenço, invited the RDC
15:27to hold direct peace negotiations
15:29on Tuesday in Luanda, but in the evening
15:31the Angolan Ministry of Foreign Affairs
15:33declared in a statement
15:35that the negotiations had not taken place
15:37due to events of major force.
15:39Shortly after,
15:41the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs
15:43announced that a meeting
15:45between the Congolese and Rwandan heads
15:47was held on the day in Doha
15:49under the mediation of
15:51Emir Tamim Benhamad Al-Sami.
15:53In Ivory Coast,
15:55the presidential elections
15:57will be held in October.
15:59The Independent Electoral Commission,
16:01the body in charge of the organization
16:03of the electoral scrutiny,
16:05has just published
16:07the provisional electoral list.
16:09Laurent Gbagbo, the former president
16:11of the Republic, is not on this list.
16:13His party reacted
16:15during a press conference
16:17to the national and international press.
16:19Max Sourby and Ferdinand Kouakou.
16:21Laurent Gbagbo is not,
16:23for the time being,
16:25a voter,
16:27so he is ineligible.
16:29His name does not appear
16:31on the provisional electoral list
16:33that has just been published
16:35by the Independent Electoral Commission.
16:37When he declared the next presidential election,
16:39the politician who led the Ivory Coast
16:41from 2000 to 2010
16:43is on the brink of judicial condemnation.
16:45So, deprived of his civic rights
16:47according to the Ivory Coast electoral code,
16:49his party, the IPACI,
16:51remains inflexible.
16:53I want to say
16:55to the national and international press
16:57that people are tired for nothing.
16:59It is not us
17:01that they are going to discourage.
17:03We have supported
17:05Gbagbo, Laurent, Mouman,
17:07Persson, Vendechers, Sapote.
17:09It is not us they are going to say, no, no.
17:11It is the military who are going to be discouraged,
17:13who are going to demobilize.
17:15It is not us they are talking about.
17:17We believed in his innocence
17:19and his liberation.
17:21For ten years,
17:23we still believe
17:25in his candidacy for the presidential election
17:27of 2015, and we believe
17:29in his victory on October 20.
17:33Some 8,700,000 Ivorians
17:35are registered on the electoral list.
17:37The process that begins
17:39with the publication of the electoral list
17:41will continue until April 20.
17:43The final list
17:45will be published before the presidential election
17:47scheduled for October 25,
17:492025.
17:51In Guinea, the authorities
17:53of the transition suspended
17:55for three months several political
17:57formations for disrespecting
17:59the principles of the former
18:01President Alpha Candé,
18:03figures on this list.
18:05This is a report from our correspondent
18:07in Conakry, Idrissa Sissé.
18:09This operation
18:11aims to clean up the
18:13political space in Guinea.
18:15After 90 days of observation,
18:17the National Direction of Political Affairs
18:19and the Electoral Administration
18:21officially proceeded
18:23to publish the results
18:25of the evaluations.
18:27Most of the observations are that there are
18:29congresses that have not been held for 10 years.
18:31We are in a dirty space
18:33because you still have 28 political parties
18:35that are suspended.
18:37You have four that are under observation.
18:39That makes you 32 political parties.
18:41You have 99 that will exercise.
18:43Of the 28 suspended parties,
18:45the assembly
18:47of the people of Guinea-RPG,
18:49of the former President Alpha Candé
18:51and of the Union of Republican Forces
18:53UFR of the former Prime Minister
18:55Sidia Touré.
18:57RPG is a large political party.
18:59Its congress
19:01mobilizes colossal hands.
19:03People come
19:05from Europe,
19:07from America,
19:09from Asia,
19:11from Africa.
19:13But it is millions
19:15and millions of francs
19:17that we mobilize to hold our congress.
19:19But our accounts
19:21are blocked
19:23since September 5, 2021.
19:29Some observers
19:31believe that political parties
19:33are governed by an organic law.
19:35According to the form,
19:37political parties that compete
19:39in the conquest and exercise of political power
19:41must be a rule
19:43in relation to the text of the law
19:45in vigor.
19:47There is the second
19:49in relation to the fund.
19:51We estimate that there are variables
19:53that must be respected in advance.
19:55In particular, priorities linked
19:57to the organic law
19:59that affects the creation
20:01and the functioning of political parties.
20:03In particular, the law that was voted
20:05under the charter of political parties.
20:07In a statement made public recently,
20:09the forces of Guinea
20:11denounce the result of this evaluation report.
20:15And now it's time for the best of
20:17the guests of Mediain TV.
20:27A few days ago,
20:29Hamas negotiated with Washington
20:31and it worried Tel Aviv.
20:33We do not understand what could have happened.
20:35It is true that the Palestinians
20:37or Hamas did not want
20:39to release the hostages
20:41if there was not on the Israeli side
20:43a massive release of prisoners
20:45as we have seen.
20:47In the terms of the first agreement,
20:491,800 Palestinians were released
20:51against 25 hostages.
20:53But I think that Hamas
20:55should have continued
20:57and followed the American administration.
20:59But these turns
21:01make the foreign policy
21:03of the United States too unreadable.
21:05And when a foreign policy
21:07of the first power is so unreadable,
21:09it is the best way
21:11to push the Chancellories
21:13to go to China.
21:17Morocco really
21:19has a growing share
21:21of Mediterranean trade
21:23and now
21:25it has a real rival
21:27of other economies in the region,
21:29such as Tunisia,
21:31Algeria, Egypt,
21:33but also the countries
21:35of Southern Europe,
21:37Italy, Portugal and others.
21:39And so Spain must also
21:41arbitrate
21:43between a strengthened
21:45cooperation with Rabat
21:47and the protection
21:49of certain national strategic sectors
21:51such as agriculture
21:53or energy.
21:55And so Morocco
21:57really has a model
21:59of South-North cooperation
22:01with Spain
22:03and which could really
22:05also inspire other African countries
22:07because now there is
22:09no longer a dependence
22:11of Morocco on Spain
22:13but an interdependence
22:15which is growing
22:17between Morocco and Spain
22:19and it is a real model
22:21for other African countries
22:23which want to position themselves
22:25with member countries
22:27of the European Union.
22:29And so this dynamic between Rabat
22:31and Madrid is really
22:33part of a wider trend
22:35where Africa
22:37is now looking to
22:39negotiate more balanced
22:41partnerships with
22:43European powers.
22:47Officially, the reasons
22:49are obviously the adoption
22:51of sanctions against
22:53several military chiefs
22:55of Rwanda
22:57as well as an active
22:59company in the gold trade.
23:01But this is a
23:03fallacious pretext
23:05for a simple and good reason
23:07that a good number of observers
23:09presented a last-minute
23:11entourloupe on the part of the M23.
23:13The argument that is advanced
23:15is to say that these sanctions
23:17compromise the participation
23:19of the M23 in these discussions.
23:21It is clear that Russia,
23:23which has been under sanctions
23:25for many years,
23:27is currently maintaining
23:29a number of contacts
23:31with Ukraine and the United States.
23:33All of this is not very serious
23:35and shows that the M23
23:37is not at all determined
23:39to come to the negotiating table
23:41and rather intends to continue
23:43to push its advantage,
23:45if there is an advantage,
23:47on the military field
23:49because the hostages
23:51have a fairly large force
23:53and sensitize a good part
23:55of the Israeli opinion,
23:57even if there is
23:59on the side of the Cabinet
24:01Netanyahu
24:03an indescribable autism,
24:05but they are affected
24:07and we must ask ourselves
24:09the question
24:11about the remaining hostages,
24:13dead or alive.
24:15Today,
24:17the second phase,
24:19are we going to execute it or not?
24:21While in Israel,
24:23for the Israelis,
24:25it is the end of the negotiations.
24:27While we were in the first phase,
24:29there had to be a second
24:31and a third
24:33reserved for reconstruction.
24:43This is how this edition ends.
24:47Stay with us for more.
