00:00You are watching Mediain TV Afrique, thank you for joining us for this round of news
00:20in the title series.
00:21The signs are multiplying on a possible resumption of negotiations to reach a ceasefire in Gaza
00:26and an agreement on the release of hostages.
00:28The main Qatari mediator evokes in a new momentum the details in a few moments.
00:33The United States has established a direct contact with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the head
00:41of the coalition that took power in Syria.
00:43This is what the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said yesterday.
00:48In France, newly installed in Matignon, François Bayrou started his consultations to form
00:56a government.
00:57We meet again right away for the development.
01:01Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, we open this news in Morocco where, following the deaths
01:08at the Moula El Youssef Hospital in Rabat, the Ministry of Health published a statement
01:13yesterday and according to the results of the investigation, these recorded deaths were not
01:18due to a technical failure at the level of the oxygen supply channels.
01:23A commission of the General Inspection of the Ministry was urgently dispatched to this
01:27health establishment to elucidate the circumstances of these deaths.
01:33Contrary to what has been circulated on this subject, two deaths were recorded on Tuesday,
01:37December 10.
01:38The first, two and a half hours after the breakdown, while the second death occurred
01:44more than four hours later.
01:47This time in Rabat, on the eve of the work of the 13th edition of the annual international
01:53conference of the Policy Center for the New South, the permanent ambassador of the Kingdom
01:59to the United Nations, Omar Hilal, stated in an interview with the Maghreb Press agency
02:04that Morocco is the best placed country and that it has the greatest legitimacy to represent
02:10the African continent as a permanent member of the Security Council.
02:15He also stressed that the Kingdom, under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
02:20I quote, is eligible to become a member of the Security Council because, quite simply,
02:26the fundamental criterion for becoming a member is to contribute to peace and security in the
02:32world, in particular by contributing to the strength of the maintenance of peace.
02:37End of quote.
02:39In his annual report of 2023-2024, published on Friday, the Court of Auditors recommends
02:47to strengthen the integrated management of water resources by ensuring the preservation
02:52of underground strategic reserves and encouraging the use of non-conventional resources.
02:58The details are with you, Jalila.
03:01The Court of Auditors recommends to strengthen the integrated management of water resources.
03:07In his annual report of 2023-2024, the Court of Auditors also pleaded for the use of non-conventional
03:13resources in the desalination of seawater, the reuse of wastewater and the collection
03:19of rainwater, the reduction of losses in transport and water distribution networks, as well as
03:25a better protection of dams against flooding, in addition to the acceleration of projects related
03:31to the interconnection of hydraulic basins.
03:34To mitigate the impact of the water crisis, in particular in terms of the securitization
03:39of drinking water supply and the satisfaction of the needs of the productive sectors, the
03:44Court of Auditors recalled that at the beginning of 2020, the National Programme for the Supply
03:50of Water was launched, mobilizing a budget envelope of 143 billion dirhams.
03:56Thus, with the commissioning of a set of dams whose construction began before the launch
04:01of the PNAEPI, the total storage capacity went from 18.7 billion cubic metres in 2020
04:07to 20.7 billion cubic metres at the end of 2023, specifies the report, noting that some
04:12large dam projects have recorded a delay in relation to the forecasts.
04:16Regarding the management of demand and the valorization of water, the surface equipped
04:20with a localized irrigation system reached, at the end of 2023, nearly 50% of the surface
04:26irrigated at the national scale, against 43% in 2020.
04:30In addition, the PNAEPI envisages the reuse of 100 million cubic metres of wastewater
04:35treated per year by 2027.
04:37However, this reuse remains limited to the industrial sector and the irrigation of green
04:42spaces, while its use in agriculture remains insignificant.
04:46With regard to the high risks, it is necessary to mention the worsening of the water situation
04:51due to an accentuation of climate change, the delay in desalination projects, of reconversion
04:56to localized irrigation, of interconnection of hydraulic basins, and of dam projects,
05:01in particular in areas with strong rainfall.
05:04Among these risks is also the delay in the implementation of the liaison project for
05:09the transport of electricity based on renewable energy, in order to supply desalination stations
05:14with clean energy, as well as the problem of mobilization of the necessary funding.
05:21The City of Rabat welcomed the first edition of the Forum of Parliamentary Women, an event
05:27of the Chamber of Representatives funded by the European Union and which wants to highlight
05:32the role of women to promote real change.
05:35Salwa El Khaloui and Youssef Ouhamou for the lighting in this story of Sheyma Fikri.
05:43Promoting the involvement of women in parliamentary life and fighting against violence are the
05:49objectives of the first edition of the Forum of Parliamentary Women.
05:54Two roundtables have already taken place to discuss these issues.
05:58We are still far from equality between men and women in politics.
06:02Many countries have put systems in place, have worked on legislation to improve the
06:09place of women in politics, but this is not enough.
06:13Ideally, we should achieve an equal representation of men and women in politics.
06:19If I take the example of Belgium, in Belgium we have the obligation to have parity on
06:24electoral lists, whether at the federal level or at the municipal level.
06:29So a man, a woman, a man, a woman on the lists.
06:33But when we look at the results the day after the elections, parity is not there.
06:37We still have a lot more men who are elected than women.
06:41And so there are all these systems that are put in place, but it is certainly not enough.
06:45There are also many other factors that we can work on so that women take up more
06:49of a place in politics.
06:50The session aims to promote the role of women in the political and parliamentary field,
06:55while highlighting their achievements in this sector.
06:58It also addresses the persistent challenges they face and explores ways to strengthen
07:03their participation in public life.
07:16During these debates hosted by the deputies, the President of the French National Assembly
07:21said that the use of a quota has been positively judged, but it is essential to continue the
07:26work to achieve real equality with a 50% share.
07:31It is also essential to assign high-level positions to women.
07:44The Forum of Parliamentary Women represents a significant progress for the improvement
07:49of women's status in the political sphere.
07:51It offers a precious opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences between parliamentary
07:56women, while promoting mutual cooperation between them.
08:02In the Middle East, the signs are multiplying on a possible resumption of negotiations
08:07to end the fire in Gaza and an agreement on the release of hostages.
08:11The main mediator Qatar recently mentioned a new momentum.
08:16On Saturday, the United States indicated, through its Secretary of State Antony Blinken,
08:21that Hamas seems to have softened its position.
08:25Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi met with the American National Security Advisor
08:31Jake Sullivan and the American coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa
08:36Brett McGurk on Saturday to discuss efforts towards a ceasefire agreement.
08:45More than 60 Israeli strikes targeted military sites in a few hours across Syria,
08:51almost a week after Hamas was seized by an armed coalition that overthrew Bashar al-Assad
08:58on Saturday.
09:00The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights recorded 61 air strikes in less than five hours.
09:06Israel continues its intensification of strikes against Syrian territory with main targets
09:13tunnels under the mountains containing ballistic missile warehouses,
09:18added the NGO, which has recorded 446 Israeli air strikes since Assad's fall on December 8.
09:29In Syria, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Saturday
09:33that his country had established direct contact with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham,
09:38at the head of a coalition that has taken power.
09:41The point is with Suheil Jalil.
09:44Washington says it is now in direct contact with the new masters of Hamas.
09:49High-ranking US diplomats from the Arab League and Turkey
09:53met in Jordan to discuss plans and objectives
09:56aimed at helping Syria ensure the transition from the failed government of Bashar al-Assad.
10:01A dozen foreign affairs ministers as well as senior EU and UN officials
10:06met in the Jordanian city of Aqaba
10:09to try to draw a consensus on the priorities of the new Syrian leaders.
10:17We all agree that we must support Syria and its people with all the resources we have
10:22so that they can launch an inclusive political process,
10:25a process that can benefit all Syrians.
10:30On the other hand, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
10:33said that the United States had established direct contact with the group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.
10:38Blinken also said that there was a wide consensus among regional partners
10:43on the fact that the new Syrian government should be inclusive,
10:46respect women's and minorities' rights, reject terrorism
10:50and secure and destroy the stocks of chemical weapons suspected of belonging to al-Assad.
10:55Geir Pedersen, the special envoy of the UN for Syria,
10:58called on Syria to work to avoid the collapse of Syrian institutions.
11:04What is essential in Syria is that we witness a credible and inclusive political process
11:09that brings together all the communities of the country.
11:11The second point is that we must ensure that the institutions of the state do not collapse
11:16and that humanitarian aid is delivered as quickly as possible.
11:19If we succeed, a new opportunity may be offered to the Syrian people.
11:28The collapse of the last week of the reign of several decades of the al-Assad family
11:32has revived fears of instability and trouble in an already unstable region.
11:36The region is plunged into the current conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza
11:40and whose hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon
11:44have roots in these precarious silos.
11:48Direction the United States where Donald Trump appointed
11:51on Saturday David Nunes, head of his social network,
11:55to the presidency of the White House Consultative Council on Intelligence.
12:00This Republican had accused the FBI of abusing its powers
12:04to spy on a man responsible for Donald Trump's election campaign,
12:08who had many contacts with Russia during the investigation
12:12of Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
12:16The Presidential Consultative Council on Intelligence
12:19is supposed to be an independent source on the work of intelligence.
12:26We do know for a long time that the Russians...
12:28Newly installed in Matignon, François Bayrou
12:31has begun his consultations to form a government.
12:36Senate President Gérard Larcher
12:40has asked him for a roadmap to unlock the situation
12:45and pleads for his colleague Bruno Retailleux
12:50to be brought back to the Ministry of the Interior.
12:52The Prime Minister will have to put everyone in front of his responsibilities,
12:57says the Senate President, who met with François Bayrou on Saturday.
13:04The day after his failed attempt to impose martial law
13:08and to mislead the Parliament by the army,
13:11President Yun Suk-hyo was finally dismissed by Korean deputies.
13:16A decision celebrated by tens of thousands of protesters
13:19gathered in front of the National Assembly.
13:22Chema Fikry tells us more.
13:27With 204 votes in favor of the dismissal,
13:3085 against, 3 abstentions and 8 invalid ballots,
13:33Korean President Yun Suk-hyo was dismissed by the Parliament.
13:38The dismissal motion had to gather at least 200 votes out of 300 to pass.
13:43The opposition, which has 192 deputies,
13:47managed to convince 12 of the 108 members of the People's Power Party to join it.
13:56The suspension of the leader of the rebellion, Yun Suk-hyo,
13:59is only a first step towards the resolution of the crisis.
14:02We will maintain our vigilance until an in-depth investigation is carried out
14:06to clarify the circumstances of the incident,
14:09identify those responsible for the decree of martial law
14:12and that they are punished.
14:18The Korean president is suspended
14:20awaiting the validation of his dismissal by the Constitutional Court.
14:25Prime Minister Han Duk-soo assures the interim.
14:34I can take a break, but the journey to the future
14:36that I have undertaken with the people over the past two and a half years
14:40must never stop.
14:42I will never give up, keeping in my heart all the criticisms,
14:45encouragement and support that have been given to me.
14:48I will do my best for the country until the last moment.
14:59I will devote all my strength and all my efforts
15:02to ensure a stable management of the administration of the state
15:06during this difficult period.
15:09At the announcement of the dismissal,
15:111,200,000 demonstrators gathered in front of the National Assembly
15:15to celebrate these decisions.
15:17The Constitutional Court has six months
15:19to confirm or cancel the Parliament's decision.
15:23If the dismissal is validated,
15:25an anticipated presidential election will take place in 60 days.
15:31Thirty-nine villagers were killed this week
15:34in a double attack by terrorists presumed in western Niger,
15:38a region particularly affected by the violence of the armed groups.
15:42The human toll is heavy
15:44and 39 people were killed,
15:4618 of them in Kokorou
15:48and 21 in Libéry.
15:50The army is reporting
15:52many women and children
15:54among the victims of these barbaric acts.
15:57The date of the attack is not specified,
15:59but the bulletin of the operations
16:01concerns the period from December 12 to 14.
16:05In Senegal,
16:06the Coalition of Organizations in Synergy
16:09for the Defense of Public Education
16:11held its 5th General Assembly
16:14under the theme
16:16Building an Education and Training System
16:19Adapted to the Context of Crisis
16:21and to the Requirements of the Digital Revolution.

17:17The overall objective of this meeting
17:20is to clear the orientations,
17:22priorities and strategies on the horizon of 2028,
17:25those related to the challenges and challenges of the moment.

18:29which must be a matter of the community.
18:33Members of the representatives
18:35of national, regional and international institutions
18:38who are partners in the development,
18:40personality of the sector
18:42and organizations of civil society

18:48Direction of Mali
18:50where the youth project
18:52and the stabilization of the Guise
18:54financed by the European Union
18:56has proceeded to the launch
18:58of the work of mixing agricultural plains
19:00of two villages in the region of Bougouni
19:03more than 200 km from the capital Bamako.
19:06This is the subject of our correspondent
19:08Mohamed Agnoko.
19:10To consolidate the peace between villages
19:12the youth project and stabilization
19:14in line with one of its key objectives
19:16has decided to mix
19:18to the great happiness of the villagers
19:20agricultural plains.
19:22This arrangement was wished
19:24by the three villages
19:26following the signing
19:28of the peace agreement
19:30intervened between them
19:32after eight years of conflict
19:34around the property
19:36of Baflache, a portion of the water
19:38of the Bougouni river.
19:40I tell you in passing
19:42that all these actions
19:44of reconciliation from beginning to end
19:46have been made possible
19:48thanks to the financial support
19:50of the GIZ
19:52through the project.
19:54After the regions of the center
19:56this second phase of the project
19:58which is held in the regions
20:00of the south and the west
20:02anticipates the conflicts
20:04and contributes to the return of peace.
20:06The development project
20:08of the Banangoro and Negala plains
20:10which reunites us this morning
20:12in this beautiful place
20:14is a response to the dividend
20:16of peace
20:18of the agreement between the villages
20:20of Negala, Banangoro and Nyakoro.
20:22This realization
20:24will cost us
20:26246 million
20:28800 and 1,331 francs.
20:30Local authorities
20:32aware of the impact of this project
20:34on the consolidation
20:36of the social fabric promise
20:38to take action.
20:40I would like to reassure
20:42the director
20:44of the delegation
20:46of the European Union
20:48that we will take
20:50good care
20:52of all these projects.
20:54This fragilized area
20:56will be stabilized through this project

21:02As Christmas approaches
21:04preparations intensify
21:06in several communes of the Ivory Coast
21:08to Jamé
21:10one of the largest
21:12commercial markets in the country
21:14the effervescence already wins
21:16the shops. Let's immerse ourselves
21:18in the preparations of the party
21:20with Mel Berchel and Erma Dogo.
21:24Animated toys that catch the eye
21:26nicknamed the little Freddy
21:28they already announce the colors of Christmas.
21:30In this shop in the heart of Jamé
21:32customers are attracted
21:34by the many articles offered
21:36after the big. For some
21:38making these dishes is essential
21:40to avoid last-minute traffic
21:42and enjoy the best offers.
21:44There are friends of my sisters
21:46who come from the interior
21:48to do shopping for their children.
21:50When you come after 15,
21:52with the 15th of December,
21:54there is a lot of hustle and bustle.
21:56Now that everyone has money,
21:58it's better to come a little earlier
22:00to be able to buy what you want.
22:02This pretty bike,
22:04which my faith will please my son
22:06because of the assets, the brightness,
22:08I think I already have the gift
22:10that I need for him.
22:12It remains to take it now.
22:14Employed in this shop,
22:16Jean Pacom highlights
22:18the diversity and quality of the articles
22:20offered, which meet the expectations
22:22of customers in search of the perfect gift
22:24for their children.
22:26At the top, there are bikes
22:28from 0 to 3 years old, 2 years old,
22:304 years old, 5 years old, 6 years old.
22:32There are customers who call us
22:34to make orders to buy bikes.
22:36So we think it's going very well.
22:38Each time we finish,
22:40we finish selling before
22:42the events and the party is over.
22:44Before the 24th,
22:46we evacuate most of our goods.
22:48So every year we try to increase
22:50slightly
22:52the orders
22:54to be able to
22:56sell throughout the Christmas period.
22:58The Christmas party
23:00is actively preparing
23:02and the merchants compete for originality
23:04to satisfy small and large.
23:06A tradition that every year
23:08beats the heart of the Ivory Coast holidays.
23:12And that's it for this news.
23:14Thank you for following it.
23:16The news is back on Mediain TV Africa.
