00:00NEWS FROM MEDIA MORNING
00:17Hello everyone, I'm delighted to see you again for a new edition of MEDIA MORNING. Here are the headlines.
00:24Russia and America meet again this Monday to discuss a possible truce, which is described as difficult by the Kremlin.
00:37In the south of the Palestinian territory, an Israeli air strike hit on Sunday the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younes, killing a Hamas official.
00:47In Mozambique, President Daniel Chapeau received his main opponent Venetian President Mondlane on Sunday to try to put an end to months of post-electoral violence.
01:02Russia and the United States meet again this Monday in Saudi Arabia to discuss a possible truce, which is described as difficult by the Kremlin.
01:17In the south of the Palestinian territory, an Israeli air strike hit on Sunday the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younes, killing a Hamas official.
01:27Russia and the United States meet again this Monday in Saudi Arabia to discuss a possible truce, which is described as difficult by the Kremlin.
01:37The discussion was productive and targeted. We have addressed key points, including the energy issue, as reported by the Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Ubrov.
01:53Washington and Kiev are pushing for a strike on energy sites, largely damaged by the Ukrainians.
02:01Ukraine says it is ready to cease fire at this stage.
02:06The Kremlin has only agreed with Washington on a moratorium on energy infrastructure bombings.
02:15What are the real chances of achieving a compromise at the end of these talks, given the profound divergences?
02:29We listen to the analysis of Zakaria Bouddaha, Professor of International Relations and Political Science at the Mohamed V University in Rabat.
02:38What we have understood from the terms of the talks that took place by American mediation is that it will be a kind of partial truce.
02:49First of all, there is a kind of moratorium, and a moratorium on ceasing fire.
02:56I said earlier that it is vital to save energy facilities.
03:02But Ukraine is more vulnerable and exposed to massive attacks from Russia when we take into account the parity in terms of armament.
03:12In a context where the United States and Mr. Donald Trump have decided to suspend military aid,
03:21and face a Europe that is divided and perhaps even disarmed against Russia, which is coming back to power.
03:29So we can say roughly that there are some places of hope, but we can say that realism must be rigorous and must be at the rendezvous.
03:39We could say that there are chances of success, at least of these first meetings.
03:44They will not be the last, of course.
03:47We must then, I think, mark the ground to discuss fundamental issues.
03:51And this is probably where we will see in the next delegations, notably Russian, the participation, for example, of Sergei Lavrov.
04:00And it is tomorrow that the Russian delegation will meet the American delegation to establish a kind of ad minima dialogue between the two parties to attack the fundamental issues.
04:14And the international community is today divided on the Ukrainian issue.
04:19The French President announced the holding next Thursday of a summit of the Coalition of Volunteers in the presence of Zelensky,
04:28Professor of International Relations and Political Science at the University of Mohamed V of Rabat.
04:33He comes back to the objective of this summit, which takes place just after.
04:38This is Pour Parler, Écoutez.
04:44Well, Europe is trying to save itself because, first of all, it was incapable during the three years of war.
04:50And moreover, we are three years and a few weeks away.
04:54First of all, Europe is also divided, which is not at all convergent in relation to the objectives to fight or to face a Russia, once again, which is dissuasive.
05:06Secondly, when we see today those who shake things up a bit, in particular the British Prime Minister Starmer and President Macron,
05:16while the other leaders, if you will, Europeans, I'm not talking about the European Union, I'm talking about states as such,
05:22do not have a very shared vision.
05:24You take Bulgaria, for example, and you will also see that there are divisions of this kind.
05:30So Europe is trying to find a place in probably an agreement to put out the fire between the two parties.
05:37Let's not forget that Ukraine is a European country.
05:42And so it is at the border, the junction between the so-called Western Europe and the Eastern Europe, and in particular embodied by Russia.
05:49And finally, I believe that this kind of situation pushes Europe in general, and the European Union in particular,
05:56thanks to the leadership of certain presidents, including Mr Macron, who we have seen very active in relation to this issue,
06:04to rethink the operational world in terms of defense, in order to probably create a certain strategic autonomy in the eyes of the United States,
06:12when we know today that even the question of NATO is not a sure thing for Europeans,
06:17given the threats made by Mr Trump to probably withdraw from his organization.
06:24We continue this day with this Israeli air strike that hit on Sunday the Nasr Hospital in Khan Younes,
06:31in the south of the Palestinian territory, killing a Hamas official, according to the Israeli army and according to the Palestinian Hamas.
06:39This new offensive by Israel took place five days after being able to put out the fire with the Palestinian movement.
06:49Hamas said in a statement that the strike had killed Ismail Barhum, a member of its political office.
06:57And according to medical sources, the strike killed a 16-year-old man who had been operated on on Friday,
07:06several injured, including medical personnel affected to varying degrees.
07:11Since the resumption of Israeli military operations on March 18, at least 673 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip,
07:19besieged and devastated, according to the Ministry of Health of the Gaza Strip.
07:29The Israeli army launched yesterday an offensive in the south of the Gaza Strip,
07:36where it continued its bombardments five days after being able to put out the fire with Hamas.
07:44There are more details with Ajeng.
07:48This is a new Israeli attack that took place in the south of Gaza on Sunday.
07:53After the attack, the Israeli army launched a call to evacuate the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood in Rafah before encircling it.
08:01On the spot, Palestinian families, several times displaced by the war, were forced to flee the city again.
08:10We were settled and we gathered some things to settle in the camp.
08:15Suddenly, they told us to evacuate.
08:17My husband is blind and started running barefoot and my children were running.
08:21We were all confused and we didn't know where to go.
08:24We went out into the street and they asked that no one stay here.
08:29Israel also launched operations in Beit Hanoun, in the north of the territory,
08:34during which combat aircraft hit several Hamas targets.
08:38While the attack lasted all night, several inhabitants of Rafah reported being targets of Israeli weapons
08:45while they were executing the evacuation order in the early morning.
08:51It was a difficult night. We haven't slept yet and we're still awake and our children are afraid.
08:56They can't go out because they're afraid.
08:58We've been here for a year and six months, yet they say it was a safe zone.
09:05After weeks of disagreement with Hamas on how to continue the strike,
09:10Israel broke it on March 18 with its massive bombings on Gaza, followed by ground operations.
09:16Since the resumption of these Israeli military operations,
09:19more than 600 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, according to Hamas.
09:26Yemen and Houthis have said that one person was killed and 13 others were injured in a strike on the capital,
09:33Sana'a, which they attribute to the United States.
09:36A civilian was killed and 13 other people were injured, including three children,
09:41according to the final report of the American organization, against a residential building in Sana'a,
09:47said the spokesman for the Houthi Ministry of Health.
09:52Earlier, Houthi media reported American strikes targeting a residential building
09:59as well as the bastion of the rebel group in Saada, in northern Yemen.
10:04On March 15, the United States announced a new military offensive promising to resort to crushing force
10:11as Houthis continue to target ships sailing on the key maritime routes of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
10:26In Turkey, the mobilization continues massively,
10:30while the justice has ordered the incarceration of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Ogluf,
10:38who has also been dismissed from his post.
10:43His arrest has triggered a wave of unprecedented protests for more than a decade.
10:52Ekrem Imamoglu, the main rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was incarcerated on Sunday.
10:59He was taken to the prison in Silivri, west of Istanbul, with nearly 90 co-accused.
11:05The mayor is prosecuted for corruption and supports a terrorist organization
11:10due to an electoral agreement between his party and a pro-Kurdish formation.
11:15This armed group is classified as a terrorist by Ankara.
11:18This incarceration is classified as a coup d'état by the Republican People's Party,
11:23the first opposition force to which the mayor of Istanbul belongs.
11:29We are facing two conspiracies.
11:31One of them is the allegation of terrorism.
11:33The arrest warrant has been rejected.
11:35There is not even a judicial control imposed on Imamoglu.
11:38But in the other case, the one they describe as the criminal organization,
11:43Imamoglu, they decided to arrest him.
11:46But the necessary objections will be made for the mayor to regain his freedom.
11:51These objections will be as social as legal.
11:55Since the announcement of his trial,
11:57monstrous demonstrations have been held all over the country.
12:00Until late Saturday, tens of thousands of people
12:03gathered in front of the Istanbul City Hall
12:06for the fourth consecutive evening in support.
12:09It is a wave of unprecedented protests in Turkey for 12 years.
12:17The main opposition party, the Republican People's Party,
12:21has tried to provoke our nation with this operation of corruption.
12:25We will certainly not allow this party and its accomplices
12:29to disturb public order and disturb the peace of our people by provocations.
12:34If you dare, let the courts make their decision
12:37on behalf of the Turkish nation without putting pressure on them.
12:41Let democracy work, let the law work.
12:47Despite the incarceration of Imamoglu,
12:50his political party maintained the primary
12:53that was to make the mayor of Istanbul their candidate for the next presidential election,
12:57scheduled for 2028.
12:59Several million people took part in the scrutiny.
13:02The mayor, who denounces immoral and baseless accusations against him,
13:06has also been suspended from his post.
13:11In the news, also in Mozambique,
13:13President Daniel Chapeau met on Sunday
13:16with his main opponent Venetian Mandela
13:18to try to put an end to months of post-electoral violence.
13:23This is what the presidency declared, promising an open and inclusive dialogue.
13:28The two men met in the capital Maputo
13:32to discuss solutions to the challenges the country is facing.
13:36The meeting is part of the current efforts to promote national stability
13:41and strengthen engagement in favor of reconciliation.
13:45The presidency also released a photo of the two men shaking hands.
13:50No details have been given on a possible agreement in preparation
13:54involving the opponent, who claims victory in the October presidential election,
13:58and has led months of contestation of the results,
14:02giving victory to the historic party in power, Frelimo.
14:06In Sudan, no respite in the war.
14:09The paramilitary forces of rapid support bombed yesterday the city of Omdurman,
14:14killing three people, including two children.
14:17The attacks took place the day after a significant advance
14:21of the regular army in the Sudanese capital,
14:24with the resumption of the presidential palace.
14:27A major symbolic victory.
14:37We now turn to Gabon,
14:40which aims to transform its industrial sector.
14:44Measures have been taken in this direction
14:47at the end of the days of the industry
14:50organized in the northern suburb of Libreville.
14:53The President of the Transition, Brice Clotaire-Holligin,
14:56has called on the government to pursue the initiated reforms.
15:00We now turn to the Coton du Silié, Kevin Dukaka.
15:06Placing the industry at the heart of the development of Gabon,
15:09these days have brought together for two days
15:12decision-makers, industrialists, entrepreneurs,
15:15start-ups, universities and international organizations
15:18around an essential issue, the current industrial offer,
15:22the opportunities aimed at stimulating innovation
15:25and encouraging the development of the technological sector in Gabon.
15:28The government must improve its efforts
15:31in setting up a financial ecosystem
15:34favorable to local industrialists.
15:37The development of training programs
15:40adapted to the needs of industrialists
15:43by academic institutions in collaboration
15:46with industrial companies.
15:49The President of the Transition, present at this meeting,
15:52has also called on the government to pursue the initiated reforms,
15:55including the creation of modern and competitive industrial zones
15:58across the territory,
16:01the improvement of the business climate
16:04and the simplification of administrative procedures
16:07to encourage investment and to redouble efforts
16:10to meet the legitimate expectations of the population.
16:13Through the National Plan for the Development of the Transition,
16:16PNDT, our ambition is to transform our resources on the spot,
16:19create added value
16:23and guarantee our economic sovereignty.
16:26The days of industry lay the foundations
16:29of the ambitious program of the Gabonese government,
16:32committed to accompanying this transformation
16:35through reforms and inciting policies.
16:38Right away, the best of the guests of Mediatheque.
16:41Anyway, Qaïssa Saïd has never given
16:44any explanation to his ministers,
16:47nor to the minister himself who was nominated,
16:50nor to the people.
16:53He nominated him in August 2024.
16:56He was nominated less than eight months after his nomination,
16:59that is to say,
17:02six months after his nomination.
17:05He was nominated in August 2024.
17:08That is to say,
17:11it is a total failure.
17:14It is the fourth government in four years.
17:17That is to say,
17:20we have almost the average of a prime minister per year.
17:23This is not possible for the stability of the country
17:26and for the continuity of the projects
17:29to be pursued
17:32in each area in Tunisia.
17:35It is a total failure.
17:38While the prime ministers are chosen by Qaïssa Saïd himself,
17:41all the other ministers, of course,
17:44are chosen one by one by Qaïssa Saïd.
17:47The fact of nominating him every time
17:50the prime minister
17:53is to admit the failure
17:56of all his successive governments.
18:00Unfortunately,
18:03we see that in the top 10
18:06of the most impacted countries,
18:09we have six African countries.
18:12Six out of ten is 60%.
18:15Yes, absolutely. And in the top 30,
18:18we are at 13 or 14 today, African countries.
18:21And you said it,
18:24Africa remains the epicenter of international tourism
18:27and the Sahel is the epicenter of the epicenter.
18:33We must not forget that today
18:36we are experiencing a fairly strong economic crisis
18:39due to a lot of factors,
18:42whether external or internal.
18:45We must not forget that we have just come out
18:48of the COVID-19 health crisis.
18:51Then there was the war between Russia and Ukraine
18:54and the price of oil and logistics
18:57and transport.
19:00We must not forget that today we have a phenomenon
19:03that has become structural for the Moroccan economy,
19:06namely the drought.
19:09We must also not forget that the purchasing power
19:12of the Moroccans in general has been negatively impacted
19:15in the last three years.
19:18Today, I think that the food shortage
19:21has become a major problem
19:24because there are a lot of factors.
19:29So there is no independence
19:32that is totally impartial.
19:35On the other hand, what is important,
19:38and I will answer your question,
19:41is that we must not stop at one clue,
19:44but take together all the clues and the converging fibers.
19:47I take another clue that we talked a lot about
19:50with a Swedish think tank
19:53that reminds us that 56 countries are in conflict,
19:56that the planet has never been so armed.
19:59We are at 2,700, 2,800 billion dollars,
20:02so 2.8 or almost 3 trillion dollars.
20:05So the whole planet is being armed.
20:08From this point of view,
20:11these are worrying elements.
20:21Voilà qui referme cette édition.
20:24Merci de l'avoir suivi.
20:27Restez avec nous.
20:30L'information continue sur Lédien TV.
