00:00Good evening and welcome to Mediain TV, thank you for joining us for a new newscast.
00:20The right to strike is at the heart of the discussion deepened in the Chamber of Advisors,
00:27and the Organic Law Project, which is the framework for the exercise of the right to strike,
00:30is coming to a decisive moment in its legislative path.
00:36In Sijordani occupied, the Israeli army continues its operation called Iron Wall,
00:40an operation that has made more than 10 dead and 35 injured in the city of Jenin.
00:48Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali have decided to launch in the coming weeks a unified force of 5,000 soldiers.
00:55The three countries form the Alliance of States of the Sahel.
01:02In Morocco, the Organic Law Project, which is the framework for the exercise of the right to strike,
01:05is coming to a decisive moment in its legislative path.
01:08This Wednesday, the text will be the subject of a discussion deepened in the Chamber of Advisors.
01:13Explanations with Adel Benagny.
01:18The Organic Law Project, which is the framework for the exercise of the right to strike in Morocco,
01:22is coming to a decisive moment in its legislative path.
01:25This Wednesday, the text will be the subject of a discussion deepened in the Chamber of Advisors.
01:30More than 330 amendments have been proposed, including the revision of several key articles.
01:40We are expanding consultations because we need expertise in politics and trade unionism.
01:48Today, experts have assisted us and they are quite experienced in questions related to the right to strike.
01:55This expertise will give us the appropriate tools to advance in our discussions.
02:06This kind of discussion is plausible.
02:08It avoids the government, trade unions and the CGEM from entering into technical confrontations
02:15without really being aware of the real socio-economic aspirations of society.
02:21The amended text broadens the categories concerning the right to strike,
02:25including now independent workers and domestic workers.
02:29Dispositions will also be put in place to guarantee a minimum service in the vital sectors during strikes
02:36in order to ensure the proper functioning of public services.
02:40Finally, the government has also lifted the ban on strikes for political purposes.
02:48It has been more than 60 years since the law on the right to strike was reformed.
02:52So it is normal that there are several points of divergence that will be debated and discussed,
02:58and over time, amendments will be made and voted unanimously.
03:03Among the other amendments already adopted, we can cite the addition of a consensual formula
03:08that sets the parties having the right to exercise the right to strike.
03:12The amendments also include the abrogation of Article 12,
03:16which was about the prohibition of strike by alternation.
03:19Finally, the amendments have also focused on the abolition of the most serious criminal sanctions
03:25and imprisonment sentences contained in the law.
03:28In 2024, Morocco has aborted more than 78,000 attempts at irregular migration,
03:33according to the figures of the Ministry of the Interior.
03:3558% of foreign and regular immigrants are from West African countries,
03:4012% are from the Maghreb countries,
03:43and 9% are from East and Central African countries.
03:47A total of 332 traffic networks have been closed.
03:53These operations have also enabled the rescue of more than 18,600 migrants by sea.
03:58The port of Tangimède crosses the 10 million containers in 2024,
04:03a growth rate of 18% compared to 2023, according to Tangimède Port Authority.
04:09This performance results from the confidence and commitment of the port operators
04:14and maritime lines.
04:17The General Confederation of Companies has organized a meeting of studies
04:21with the Minister in charge of the budget today,
04:23the opportunity to discuss the guidelines of the Law of Finance 2025,
04:27the reform of the health system, education,
04:30but also the World Cup of Football.
04:32In addition, the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
04:34the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
04:36the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
04:38the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
04:40the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
04:43the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
04:45the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
04:47the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
04:51It's a meeting to create a space for debate.
04:57I recall that it is a debate and it is a permanent dialogue approach with the CGIF,
05:05that it is a relationship,
05:08be it with the Ministry of Finance, or with the World Cup 2030 by our country.
05:18It is a permanent dialogue.
05:20We consider that the CJEM is at the heart of the expected transformations.
05:25We do all this to build, to evaluate what we have already done,
05:31but to build the future and to spread the aspirations
05:36Today, we are happy to welcome Sifo Syelksha to the CJEM
05:41to discuss the Finance Law 2025.
05:44This Finance Law is part of the continuation of the Framework Law 2019.
05:51Of course, we have a lot of challenges in 2025,
05:56namely to finance important and structuring projects
05:59such as social security for all Moroccan citizens,
06:03projects on infrastructure to prepare for the World Cup,
06:09projects on water dissemination and, of course, new technologies.
06:15We have discussed all this, and we have also discussed the challenges that await us,
06:21namely the integration of the informal sector, which is an important subject,
06:25taking into account small and medium-sized businesses to make them more dynamic.
06:31Employment is also a very, very important subject.
06:35We have been called upon to participate, to create more jobs in our country.
06:43And of course, we have also discussed how to participate in infrastructure for Moroccan companies.
06:55Morocco is once again cited as an example in the fight against terrorism.
06:59In front of the Security Council, the permanent representative of Morocco to the UN
07:03has come back on the main axes of the strategy put in place under the leadership of His Majesty,
07:08the King Mohammed VI.
07:09According to Omar Hilal, these strategies are based on four pillars.
07:12The strengthening of the security of the legal arsenal,
07:15the economic and human development,
07:17the preservation of cultural identity
07:19and the promotion of regional and international cooperation.
07:26To strengthen their efforts in the fight against terrorism,
07:28Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali have decided to launch a unified force of 5,000 soldiers.
07:33The three countries form the Alliance of the States of Sahel.
07:36Explanations with Raja Ngo.
07:40The strength of the member countries of the Alliance of the States of Sahel is gradually taking shape.
07:46The Nigerian Minister of Defense, General Salif Oumoudi,
07:51made it known that the forces of these three countries could now intervene together.
07:56He specified that this unified force was practically ready,
08:00with a staff of 5,000 men, to fight against terrorist attacks.
08:05This army will not only have its personnel,
08:08but also its terrestrial aerial means of information and its coordination system.
08:14Did he explain?
08:15The three countries of the Alliance of the States of Sahel are facing recurring attacks
08:20from both armed groups linked to Al-Qaeda and independent rebel groups.
08:27Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali are already conducting joint operations against terrorism,
08:34especially in the three-border area where the attacks are the most numerous.
08:39As a reminder, the three countries announced almost a year ago
08:42their departure from the Economic Community of the States of West Africa, the CDAO.
08:48The countries of the Sahel believe that the regional organization is ineffective in the face of their security challenges.
08:55Moreover, this departure could be effective as early as January 29.
09:01How does this new unified force, launched by the Alliance of the States of Sahel,
09:04differ from the previous military forces deployed in the region?
09:07The element of the answers with Henri Nzosi, political analyst.
09:11We obviously think of the joint force of the Sahel G5,
09:15which was launched in 2017 following the creation of the Sahel G5 in 2014.
09:23But before answering you more precisely,
09:25I would like to remind you that according to the Global Firepower platform,
09:31Mali, Nigeria and Burkina Faso respectively occupy the 18th, 25th and 31st places
09:40of the most powerful armies in Africa.
09:43And so, you have three countries that face common security challenges
09:48and who decide to mutualize their efforts to precisely curb the rise of terrorism.
09:56So, it is true that this is not the first initiative of the people.
09:59Everyone remembers, of course, the joint force of the Sahel G5,
10:03which unfortunately suffered from several things.
10:07The first, of course, was a weak contributory capacity of the member countries.
10:13At the time, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Mali, Nigeria and Chad
10:17had bet on embarking on this adventure,
10:21which effectively promised rather interesting results on paper.
10:27Unfortunately, this was not the case,
10:29because you had, beyond this weak contributory capacity,
10:34the fact that there were, on the part of external funders,
10:39sometimes hidden agendas that did not always correspond to the objectives of the targeted countries.
10:45And then there was also the fact that the African Union had a rather minimal role,
10:49which weakened both its role and its influence
10:53and did not allow the African countries concerned by this force
10:57to be able to demonstrate their ability to solve this security problem
11:01when you had buyers like France, the European Union or others
11:05who were permanently feeding the ambiguity.
11:08Here we are in a totally different situation.
11:11You have three countries that left the CDAO together,
11:16which created this confederation of states of the SEAL,
11:20which at first wanted a political-economic alliance.
11:25Today, an additional step is taken with the security dimension,
11:31you have reminded yourself, with terrestrial means,
11:35aerial and intelligence means,
11:37as well as an integrated command structure.
11:40However, the challenges remain very numerous
11:42and we will see how things will be articulated in the coming weeks.
11:47In the occupied West Bank, the Israeli army resumes arms.
11:50The operation called Iron Wall, supposed to block the road to the armed group,
11:53killed 10 and injured 35 in Jenin.
11:56Explanations with Raja Henko.
12:00Just a few days after the entry into force of the ceasefire in Gaza,
12:05the city of Jenin again underwent Israeli raids.
12:10The Israeli army has announced that it has launched
12:13what it calls an anti-terrorist operation in this city,
12:17north of the occupied West Bank.
12:20The operation, extended and large-scale, aims to eradicate terrorism in Jenin,
12:26said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
12:31Jenin, and especially its camp of refugees,
12:34are regularly the targets of Israeli military intervention.
12:39In recent months, these attacks have followed,
12:42leaving entire neighborhoods cut off from each other.
12:46Faced with this displacement of the cycle of violence,
12:48the UN Secretary-General said he was very worried about the violence in Cisjordan,
12:53especially the large-scale military operation in Jenin.
12:58Antonio Guterres called on Israel to show maximum restraint.
13:04The violence in Cisjordan intensified the day after Donald Trump's return to the White House.
13:12How to explain the resumption of Israeli bombings in Cisjordan,
13:16while a ceasefire has just come to light in the Gaza Strip?
13:20I propose to listen to the analysis of Jean-François Poli.
13:23This is probably explained by the internal tensions in Israel,
13:27where we saw, for example, that the Israeli Minister of National Security,
13:31Ben-Gurion, had expressed his opposition to the ceasefire agreement at the Strip,
13:36which he had considered irresponsible.
13:39This means that within the Israeli political forces,
13:44there is no unanimity regarding this Strip in Gaza.
13:49And all the pretexts are good to maintain a tension,
13:53especially with the operation that took place in Jenin,
13:57under the pretext of terrorism, which is always the pretext used,
14:01and which is translated by an incursion and attacks of the Israeli army on civilians.
14:12So we are facing a ceasefire that is already temporary,
14:17which is also fragile because we are not safe from unprecedented or controlled action,
14:24we do not know, on the part of certain forces within the Israeli government,
14:30to somehow overturn this agreement.
14:33We are on a tightrope, in a very unstable balance,
14:37and everything can stop at any moment,
14:41and we will have to be attentive to observe the developments.
14:45And the Israeli government must also manage, no doubt, its internal oppositions
14:50and the internal balances that it must maintain,
14:55with the different parties that support the government,
15:00and some of them, including Mr. Benvir's party, the Jewish Forces Party,
15:04are very opposed to this process of normalization,
15:09in any case, of getting out of this situation, which is dramatic.
15:16The truce between Israel and Hamas, which entered into force on Sunday,
15:19could collapse at any moment and remains fragile, according to experts.
15:23Announced by the mediators, the objective of the ceasefire agreement
15:26is the definitive end of the hostilities.
15:29As early as Monday, the new US president said he was not sure that the truce would hold.
15:33And on Tuesday, Prime Minister Qatari called on the Belgians to show good faith
15:37to be able to establish a lasting peace in the Middle East.
15:42The new Syrian authorities claim the dismantling of the Kurdish forces.
15:46The Syrian Defense Minister has stated that the use of force is conceivable, if necessary.
15:51The door of the negotiation is currently open with the Syrian Democratic Forces,
15:55announced by Molhaf Abu Qasala.
15:57The FDS, dominated by the Kurds, controls a large part of northeastern Syria.
16:01However, one of the main obstacles to this decision
16:04is the fate of the Syrian Democratic Forces, supported by the United States.
16:12For Iran, on October 7, the nuclear negotiations with Washington
16:16at the World Economic Forum in Davos have failed.
16:19The Iranian Vice President said that the meeting,
16:22initially scheduled for October 9, on the renewal of the nuclear agreement,
16:26was ruined by the resumption of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
16:29Despite its support for Hamas, Iran has still denied its involvement in the October 7 attack.
16:37Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz promise a strong and united Europe against Donald Trump.
16:46The American president is already clear.
16:49A challenge to be taken up is to estimate the German leader's visit to Paris.
16:52Europe cannot be robbed or hidden, but must be a constructive and confident partner.
16:59To add Olaf Scholz since the Elysée, the French president called the 27
17:04to play their part for a France, a united, strong and sovereign Europe.
17:08On his side, Donald Trump promises to revoke customs rights against the European Union
17:13and threatens to reduce its military support.
17:19For Donald Trump, European countries will be subject to customs rights.
17:22The White House says that this is the only way for the United States
17:25to be treated correctly by the developments with Sheyma Fikri.
17:30As soon as he arrived at the White House, Donald Trump implemented his customs rights policy.
17:38The new American president announced that European countries would be subject to customs rights.
17:43He justified his decisions as being the only way for the United States to be treated fairly.
17:50The European Union is very, very bad to us.
17:53They treat us very, very badly.
17:55They don't take our cars.
17:57They don't take our agricultural products.
17:59They don't take much.
18:01We have a deficit of 350 billion dollars with the European Union.
18:04So we have to impose customs rights.
18:06It's the only way to get revenge.
18:08It's the only way to get fairness.
18:19On his side, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen,
18:23assured that Europe was ready to discuss with the American government.
18:27She also reminded that Washington was a major commercial partner.
18:31But she did not fail to reach out to China,
18:33reminding that Europe will continue to promote cooperation,
18:36not only with its long-term friends,
18:38but also with all the countries with which the EU has common interests.
18:42The European Commissioner for Economy, Valdis Dombrovskis,
18:45also assured that the EU was ready to defend its economic interests,
18:49as it did during the first Trump administration,
18:52when it introduced customs rights on steel and aluminum.
18:55Mexico and Canada are concerned by the threats of the new American president,
19:00with a taxation rate of 25%.
19:03On the Chinese side, Trump assured that his government was discussing
19:0710% customs rights on Chinese products from February 1.
19:12We intend to impose 10% customs rights on China
19:16because it sends fentanyl to Mexico and Canada.
19:19China reacted by affirming that it was firmly determined to defend its national interests.
19:25According to Mao Ning, a spokeswoman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
19:29China has always estimated that there are no winners
19:32in a commercial war or a war on customs rights.
19:36To deal with the drop in temperatures in the winter season,
19:39some Moroccan schools are mobilizing in the region of Fes Meknes.
19:43Some schools have heating systems
19:46to provide students with good teaching conditions.
19:49Explanations with Cheyma Afikri.
19:54Since the Middle Atlas, more precisely in the region of Bintzmim,
19:58students are in their classes equipped with heating systems.
20:01This initiative is part of the implementation of the Royal High Instructions,
20:05aimed at mitigating the effects of the cold wave.
20:08Several measures, including the mobilization of local and national efforts,
20:12are being implemented to guarantee favorable conditions
20:15for the continuation of education in an adequate environment.
20:21The Bintzmim institution is a school that provides heating
20:24in its classrooms throughout the winter season.
20:27Classes are heated from morning to evening,
20:29which allows students to find adequate conditions
20:32to study as soon as they arrive after leaving their home.
20:36This region is known for its intense cold.
20:39This is why our institution offers heating in all classes.
20:42While we leave our homes early in the morning,
20:45facing a freezing cold, we enter warm rooms.
20:53Efforts continue to provide school establishments
20:56with sufficient quantities of firewood.
20:59These distributions concern primarily primary schools and colleges,
21:02while ensuring that the wood also reaches the most isolated areas,
21:06facing logistical difficulties.
21:17We were able to provide additional blankets to the students of the boarding school,
21:21as well as acquire 550 tons of firewood and 390 tons of coal,
21:26in addition to propane.
21:28All these products contribute to a rapid intervention
21:31to guarantee optimal conditions.
21:33In order to succeed in this operation, we aim to pursue education.
21:43Known for its difficult winters,
21:45the Bintzmim region in Ifran records temperatures
21:48sometimes below zero.
21:50These measures illustrate the Kingdom's commitment
21:53to guarantee access to education for all students,
21:56even in the most difficult climatic conditions.
22:00We stay in Morocco.
22:02Today, the works of the 8th General Assembly of the Atlantic Federation
22:06of the African Press Agencies were opened.
22:09This conclave aims to highlight the ways of promotion
22:13and strengthening of African health sovereignty.
22:16The participants will discuss the future of the African Press Agencies
22:20and the role they must play in the 21st century.
22:23Welcome, Marie Bakoumania,
22:25Director-General of the Congolese Press Agency.
22:28What are the challenges of this conclave?
22:31The first challenge presented to the Atlantic Federation of Press Agencies
22:37is to put the press agencies together.
22:41This is the first challenge,
22:43the challenge of federating the press agencies of the continent
22:47so that they can work together,
22:49work in synergy and face challenges,
22:52especially technological challenges
22:54and the challenges of the development of the media and communication sector.
22:58We can say without fear that for ten years
23:02the FAPA has succeeded in meeting these challenges.
23:05The second challenge also presented to the FAPA
23:09is the challenge of training,
23:11the training of media personnel,
23:14of our media,
23:16in relation to the current technological evolution.
23:19Today, the theme of health sovereignty
23:26highlights the efforts that have been made
23:30and gives clues so that the future of the FAPA
23:33can be oriented towards the concrete,
23:37towards what directly affects African populations,
23:41populations that are often manipulated
23:44by stories that come from elsewhere.
23:46This is the end of this newscast.
23:48Thank you for following it.
23:49Stay with us.
23:50The news continues on Mediain TV.
