00:00Welcome to a new edition of the Media Morning, I'm Laetitia.
00:27The Palestinian Minister of Religious Affairs welcomes the role of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, President of the Al-Quds Committee,
00:37in support of the resilience of the Palestinian people and the protection of the sacred places of Islam, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
00:47A month after the fall of Bashar al-Assad, Washington announced this Monday a relief for the time being,
00:54as well as sanctions against Syria to prevent the supply of essential services to the population.
01:05And then, the balance of power that struck this Tuesday the Himalayan region of Tibet in southwestern China,
01:12climbed to 53 deaths according to a state media.
01:16The Palestinian Minister of Religious Affairs welcomes this Monday the role of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, President of the Al-Quds Committee,
01:34in support of the resilience of the Palestinian people and the protection of the sacred places of Islam, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
01:44During a meeting with the ambassador of Morocco to Palestine, Amdrahim Zian, the Palestinian minister alluded to the constant positions of the Kingdom of Morocco in the defense of Al-Quds,
01:56and in support of the resilience of its populations, reports the Palestinian press agency WAFA.
02:02This interview was an opportunity to examine the means to strengthen religious cooperation between the two countries,
02:09to address the various issues of common interest and to implement the memorandum of cooperation signed between the two parties.
02:17This memorandum provides for the exchange of expertise in the management of mosques and Koranic schools,
02:23and the development of media programs, religious awareness, as well as plans for the management of preaching and orientation.
02:34A month after the fall of Bashar al-Assad, Washington announced this Monday a relief for the temporary period of sanctions against Syria,
02:46in order not to hamper the supply of essential services to the population.
02:52The Office for the Control of Foreign Assets specifies in a statement,
02:56given the extraordinary circumstances and in support of the Syrian people in the construction of a more secure and peaceful future,
03:04the Treasury Department wants to ensure that the sanctions do not hamper any basic services,
03:10such as the supply of electricity, energy, water, sanitation or humanitarian aid.
03:16This easing of the sanctions is scheduled for six months,
03:19during which the US government will continue to monitor the evolution of the situation on the ground.
03:26The Treasury Department specifies that its initiative does not in any case lift the ban on the possession of persons or targeted entities,
03:34including al-Assad, the Syrian government, the Syrian Central Bank or Haitham Zahra al-Sham, now in power in Damascus.
03:46The balance of power and ism that struck this Tuesday the Himalayan region of Tibet,
03:51in which southwest China climbed to 53 dead, according to a state media.
03:5753 people died and 62 others were injured during this earthquake of magnitude 6.8,
04:05which shook the canton of Dingri at 1.05 GMT.
04:13This is what the new China Press Agency said.
04:16A previous report made 32 deaths.
04:19The Himalayas is on the line of fracture between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates
04:25and is experiencing regular seismic activity.
04:28In 2015, an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 had caused nearly 9,000 deaths
04:33and more than 22,000 injured in Nepal, destroying more than 500,000 homes.
04:40We now go to Mali, where Thiernof Ahmadou Hadidal, a former Muslim leader,
04:49died following his removal by terrorists at the end of December.
04:53His death was announced in an audio message attributed to one of the main terrorist leaders
05:00circulating on social networks on Monday.
05:03A member of the family judged credible the announcement of his death.
05:08Thiernof Ahmadou Hadidal was the general caliph of Tijaniyya,
05:13one of the current principals of Sufism in West Africa, and preached non-violence.
05:23For more information on this death announced by the caliph,
05:27I suggest you listen to our correspondent, Aba Makko Mohamed Tanuku.
05:32In an audio of a little more than four minutes,
05:35we learn about the death of the general caliph of Tijaniyya,
05:38Thiernof Ahmadou Hadidal.
05:41This audio is from Ahmadou Koufa, the leader of the Masina category,
05:46affiliated to the Islam and Muslim Support Group, also affiliated to Al-Qaeda.
05:51We know that the Masina category occupies a large part of the center of Mali
05:57since 2016, under the leadership of Ahmadou Koufa.
06:01In this audio, we learn that the general caliph of Tijaniyya,
06:05who was removed on December 26,
06:08at 70 km from Nyoro,
06:11was injured during the rapture,
06:14and it was due to these injuries that he passed away.
06:18It should also be noted that the general caliph was always accused,
06:22according to the audio, of his relations with the Malian authorities.
06:26But so far, no official statement has come to confirm or authenticate this audio.
06:32But in Bamako, it is already the month within the Muslim community,
06:37and more particularly the Tijani community,
06:40which maintains strong, secular and fraternal ties with Morocco.
06:45Mohamed Dagnoko for Median TV Africa, Bamako.
06:50And in the news also,
06:52Chad has deplored on Monday the contemptuous attitude of French President Emmanuel Macron,
06:58who estimated that African leaders had forgotten to say thank you to France
07:04in the fight against terrorism in the Sahel,
07:07words also condemned by Senegal.
07:11The Chadian government has expressed its deep concern
07:15following the remarks recently made by French President Emmanuel Macron,
07:19which reflect a contemptuous attitude towards Africa,
07:23and Africans indicate a communiqué of the Chadian Minister of Foreign Affairs,
07:28Abdelrahman Koulamalla, read on state television last night.
07:33The Senegalese Prime Minister, Ousmane Sonkouf,
07:36contested Monday that the withdrawal announced by French soldiers from his country
07:42would have led to negotiations between Paris and Dakar,
07:46and it is written in false with virulence.
07:49Against the words of President Emmanuel Macron on French military engagement in Africa,
07:54Sonko has qualified on social networks to totally erroneous the statement
07:58according to which the departure announced by hundreds of French soldiers
08:02would follow a proposal of France that would have left the country concerned
08:07by a reorganization of the French military presence,
08:11the first to announce such a withdrawal.
08:17In Côte d'Ivoire, two Siamese sisters were born,
08:21bound by the belly and which shared several organs,
08:25were successfully separated at the Benjaerville Children's Hospital
08:32at the end of a complex surgical intervention.
08:36Max Souhoubi and Ferdinand Kouakou.
08:40Bound by the belly at their birth,
08:42the Siamese Marie-Dominique and Grace-Dominique
08:45had to undergo a surgical intervention before being separated
08:49here at the Benjaerville Children's Hospital.
08:52The operation, piloted by an international team of Franco-Swiss and Ivorian doctors,
08:57lasted 17 hours.
08:59There is a principle that must be respected to be able to separate Siamese,
09:04because all are not separable,
09:06there must be vital organs for each one,
09:09for example a heart for each one,
09:11and the common organs must be divisible.
09:14So these fillets met the criteria.
09:17In principle, to operate this kind of patient,
09:19you need at least 7 surgeons.
09:22So the team was completed with the local skills,
09:25the pediatric surgeons of the Benjaerville Children's Hospital,
09:28who completed the team,
09:29and the anesthesiologists,
09:31there were 3 of the Benjaerville Children's Hospital,
09:34and the resuscitators, there were 2.
09:36Each year, we see new performances in this hospital,
09:40and what has just been realized today shows that health is still progressing in Ivory Coast.
09:45In a few hours, Maruise and Charlotte,
09:48the parents of the Siamese separated,
09:50went from a state of absolute anxiety to extreme joy.
09:54When they told me there was a problem,
09:57they didn't specify because I didn't believe it at all.
10:01When I saw them, I said,
10:03Lord, you sent me,
10:05but I entrust them to you,
10:07because it is you who creates man,
10:08you create man in your image,
10:09with faith and prayer.
10:11Today I am happy, my children are separated,
10:14I say thank you and I thank God for everything.
10:16Marie-Dominique and Grâce-Dominique
10:19now have a chance to lead a normal life,
10:21and benefit from the support of the First Lady,
10:24Dominique Guattara,
10:25who came to visit those who, by chance,
10:28became her daughters.
10:30Sometimes, you know,
10:32when we have a problem with a Siamese child,
10:34they can be rejected.
10:36And today, of course, this is not the case.
10:38They are normal children
10:40who will live their whole lives normally.
10:42Congratulations to our doctors.
10:44The separation of the twins
10:46is historic for the Ivory Coast,
10:48but above all, it is certainly
10:50the most beautiful story for this family.
10:54Since Sunday,
10:55the center and east of the United States
10:57are swept away by a heavy winter storm.
11:01Five people have lost their lives
11:03and millions of people are affected by the snow.
11:09In Washington,
11:10a white coat covers the streets
11:12and up to 30 centimeters of snow
11:14are expected in the American capital.
11:16Weather services have warned
11:18that any movement can be dangerous
11:20on snowy and icy roads.
11:23Most roads in Louisville now are snow routes.
11:39The roads back into a better shape.
11:53And about 300,000 without electricity.
11:55The storm, which is moving throughout the country,
11:58has also led to school closures
12:00and road accidents.
12:02Blocked by the snow layers,
12:04the inhabitants manage as best they can.
12:12It couldn't be worse.
12:13First you have to break the layer,
12:15otherwise you lose your time.
12:16I removed some layers yesterday
12:17and I should still be working tomorrow.
12:23So...
12:27According to the country's weather services,
12:29thunderstorms accompanied by hail
12:31and potential tornadoes
12:33could hit the states of the Southeast.
12:35These powerful winds
12:36could cause material damage
12:38and prolonged power outages.
12:40In the center and east of the country,
12:42temperatures should drop to minus 18 degrees Celsius.
12:45Scientists say
12:47that extreme weather phenomena
12:49are becoming more frequent
12:51and more serious
12:53due to global warming.
12:57We now turn to the guest of the big news.
13:01Good morning.
13:03Negotiations to put an end to the fires in Gaza
13:07have resumed in Doha
13:09between the Palestinian Hamas and Israel,
13:11which makes the release of hostages
13:14a priority while continuing
13:16to intensively bombard the Palestinian enclave Gaza.
13:20What is the outcome of the negotiations?
13:23We speak with Mr. Amjad Shihab,
13:26professor of political science
13:28at the University of Al-Quds.
13:30Hello, Amjad Shihab.
13:32Thank you for accepting our invitation.
13:38Thank you for inviting me.
13:41Israel has assured this Monday
13:44that it has not been informed by the Palestinian Hamas
13:48of the conditions in which the hostages
13:51are held in the Gaza Strip
13:53that the Palestinian movement
13:55has said it is ready to release.
13:57In the first phase of a possible agreement,
14:00the negotiations that resumed this weekend in Qatar
14:04between Israel and the Hamas
14:07seem to focus for the moment
14:10on the release of hostages.
14:14Yes, the Hamas movement needs time to verify
14:19because under the daily bombardment,
14:22under the massacre and the carnage,
14:25it does not have enough time.
14:27It needs time to know,
14:29according to the Israeli demand,
14:32who are alive and who are not alive.
14:36We are talking about 15 months,
14:39we are talking about 15 months of clashes
14:44and bombings and massacres.
14:47It will not be very easy
14:50to meet the conditions
14:52that the Israeli government
14:55demands in relation to this exchange.
14:58Above all, there is still a pit,
15:01because there are still no guarantees
15:04of withdrawal, as the Hamas movement demands,
15:07a total withdrawal of the Israeli army
15:10and a guarantee of ceasefire.
15:13A ceasefire that may be a truce,
15:18but they want guarantees
15:21so that these bombings and massacres stop.
15:24So there is still a pit.
15:27Mr. Amjad, what are the proposals
15:30and counter-proposals made by Israel
15:33in the context of these negotiations?
15:36We are talking about an agreement
15:39that will take place in several stages.
15:42What could it look like?
15:45The Hamas movement
15:48and the Palestinian Resistance
15:51are looking for a complete agreement,
15:54not a partial agreement.
15:57This government is looking for a partial agreement.
16:00It negotiates a lot of these partial agreements
16:03in order to respect this agreement,
16:06as happened with Lebanon,
16:09where there were more than 400 violations
16:12of the treaty on both sides.
16:15What interests Hamas
16:18is to stop the massacres,
16:21to stop killing civilians.
16:24What interests Israel
16:27is to take back all the hostages
16:30and to pay the price.
16:33On both sides, there is still a pit.
16:36It is progressing slowly.
16:39There is a bad faith.
16:42As it happened,
16:45it is not the first time
16:48that there has been a failure
16:51to reach an agreement of exchange.
16:54There is a gap and a retreat.
16:57The Hamas government
17:00wants to stop the bombings
17:03and to take back the massacres.
17:06I think they are still using blackmail
17:09by having more bombings
17:12and destruction.
17:18The entire Gaza Strip
17:21and the inhabitants
17:25in the tents
17:28are trying to stop
17:31the humanitarian conditions.
17:34There are no hospitals,
17:37there are not enough human beings.
17:40There are a lot of deaths
17:43because of the lack of food,
17:46the lack of medication.
17:49There are a lot of babies
17:52who lose their lives
17:55because of the cold.
17:58The gap between Israel
18:01and the Palestinian Hamas
18:04remains important.
18:07Do you think that the path to peace
18:10is still possible?
18:13In this spirit,
18:16there is no imagination
18:19between war criminals
18:22and a people
18:25that has been occupied
18:28for 76 years.
18:31All the racist ideologies
18:34of the far right
18:37who speak only one voice
18:40and who have no rights.
18:50As everyone says,
18:53the international law
18:56is a two-state solution.
18:59I am sensitive
19:02to these crimes
19:05that are being committed
19:08every day on the Gaza Strip.
19:11I want to do this
19:14to calm the opinion
19:17of the prisoners
19:20in the hands of the Hamas
19:23and to continue the massacre.
19:26Mr. Shihab,
19:29you mentioned
19:32the internal public opinion
19:35in the streets of Tel Aviv
19:38and Jerusalem.
19:41Thousands of demonstrators
19:44took to the streets
19:47last Saturday.
19:50Many accused
19:53Benjamin Netanyahu
19:56of not doing enough
19:59to conclude an agreement.
20:02What do you think?
20:05There is an internal pressure
20:08to release them.
20:11They are not hostages,
20:14they are soldiers.
20:17We don't ask you to stop.
20:20What interests us
20:23is to release them.
20:26We are prisoners
20:29because we are soldiers,
20:32whether we are women
20:35or men.
20:38If we release them,
20:41we will be at the bottom.
20:56We want to release
20:59all the prisoners.
21:02Unfortunately,
21:05we don't have a solution.
21:08We need to find a solution
21:11for the Palestinian cause.
21:35According to the declaration
21:38of the former Minister of Defense,
21:41the Israeli army
21:44is carrying out
21:47ethnic cleansing.
21:50They wanted to do
21:53a complete cleansing
21:56in the north of Gaza.
21:59We are talking about Bethlehem
22:02in the north of Gaza.
22:05It was a complete cleansing.
22:08They forced us to do
22:11a complete cleansing
22:14in the north of Gaza.
22:17We are talking about
22:20collective persecution
22:23against the Jewish population.
22:26We are talking about
22:29a complete cleansing
22:32in the north of Gaza.
22:35It is a war crime
22:38against humanity.
22:59This is the end of this edition.
23:02Thank you for watching it.
23:05Stay with us on Mediain TV.
