00:00Welcome everyone, thank you for joining us in this new edition of Média TV. Here are the headlines.
00:14In Morocco, a 5.2 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale struck on Monday evening.
00:21The province of Ouazan was reported to have been hit by the National Geophysical Institute. More details in a moment.
00:31Donald Trump promises a real hell to the Palestinian Hamas if Israeli hostages are not all released on Saturday.
00:45Abidjan welcomes the first edition of the International Forum on Professions and Skills.
00:50Competence, this event, aims to address the challenges of a job market. A profound transformation.
01:07A 5.2 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale struck on Monday evening.
01:14The province of Ouazan was reported to have been hit by the National Geophysical Institute.
01:18The epicentre of the earthquake, 20 kilometres deep, was located at 34,954 degrees north latitude and 5,635 degrees west latitude.
01:33The epicentre was located in the municipality of Brixa, in the province of Ouazan.
01:39It occurred at 11.48 pm, according to local authorities. No damage was reported.
01:54Here are the reactions of some residents in Tangier, welcomed by Mohamed Darishi and Arsal Kiber.
02:01I was working on my computer when I felt a shock. At first I thought I had a vertigo, but I ended up understanding that it was an earthquake, especially when I saw the chandelier move in all directions. May God protect our country.
02:19We were sitting when we felt a shock. Wishing that there was no damage anywhere, the residents of Casablanca, Rabat and Quneitra also felt the earthquake.
02:35We were sitting when we felt a shock. Wishing that there was no damage anywhere, the residents of Casablanca, Rabat and Quneitra also felt the earthquake.
02:52Here in Tangier, the shock was light. We were not even sure that it was an earthquake, but the population of Qsalkwil felt a strong earthquake. Our families there went down to the street in fear of retaliation.
03:05We are in contact with them to get their news and we hope that there will be no more earthquakes.
03:11We are in contact with them to get their news and we hope that there will be no more earthquakes.
03:18Regarding this earthquake, I would like to hear the explanations of FNASAR.
03:25Yesterday's earthquake was a moderate magnitude 5.2 earthquake on the Richter scale. It was strongly felt in the epicentral area, the cities and villages closest to the epicenter, as well as on remote sites such as the cities of Teza and Casablanca.
03:46The moderate level for magnitudes between 5 and 6 is classified as moderate, which means that they are not very violent. Normally, this should not cause damage.
04:02From time to time, we have isolated shocks, like yesterday, and we must always keep our surveillance system on the region.
04:12For earthquakes that usually follow a main shock, which we call replicas, there are no replicas for this shock.
04:20But talking about another shock of a higher level or energy enters the field of prediction, which is a field of research.
04:33We do not yet have reliable techniques to predict this kind of seismic event.
04:40We continue this news with the thanks of the Secretary-General of the Executive Committee of the Organization for the Liberation of Palestine, His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
04:53Hassan al-Nasir saluted on Monday the constant efforts that the President of the Al-Quds Committee continues to deploy in order to resolve the crisis.
05:04Defends Palestine, frozen by Israel.
05:12In the news also, Donald Trump promised this Monday not to do if Hamas does not release all Israeli hostages by Saturday,
05:20after the threat of the Palestinian movement to report the next liberation planned by the truce in force in Gaza, which may blow up.
05:30The government of Benjamin Netanyahu has already ordered his army to prepare for all scenarios in response to the announcement of the Hamas army branch,
05:43which accuses Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement in force.
05:48Hamas has then ensured that the door remains open so that the release of Israeli hostages against Palestinian prisoners takes place according to the planned plan,
05:58either on Saturday, once Israel has abided by its obligations.
06:03The American President, Donald Trump, first ally of Israel, described this report threat as terrible.
06:09The second phase of the ceasefire is supposed to result in the liberation of all hostages and at the final end of the war before a final step dedicated to the reconstruction of Gaza.
06:25The American President, Donald Trump, has reaffirmed on Sunday his desire to take possession of the Gaza Strip.
06:31He also insists on his plan to relocate the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to other countries, such as Jordan or Egypt, and to make it a Riviera of the Middle East.
06:46The Palestinians could not return to the Gaza Strip, said Donald Trump on Sunday.
06:52While the Palestinian territory has been ravaged by the war, he describes his plan as a real estate development project for the future with the possible help of the Middle East countries.
07:08I am determined to buy and own Gaza. As for the reconstruction, we could entrust it to other Middle Eastern countries to build certain parts.
07:16In Gaza, everything is demolished. They will not be able to live in these buildings at the moment. It is very dangerous for them, but they will give us a very good site for future development.
07:28Words always rejected by the Arab world. For these countries, this idea of moving the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip is not even debatable.
07:36But for Trump, the countries concerned by the displacement of the Gaza Strip will eventually accept.
07:42I would like to say this clearly and once and for all. The proposals made by the new US administration on Gaza have no value for discussion or consideration from our point of view.
07:54No one has the strength to remove the inhabitants of Gaza from these lands. It belongs to them. Palestine belongs to the Palestinians, with Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem.
08:04Gazans have been oppressed for thousands of years.
08:08In Europe, these words also make the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz react. During a television debate, he described Donald Trump's suggestion as a scandal,
08:17according to which the United States could take possession of the Gaza Strip and move its population.
08:23The Israeli Prime Minister described Sunday as revolutionary this proposal by the American president.
08:30On the other hand, the Palestinian movement Hamas, obfuscated by Donald Trump's proposal,
08:35announced Monday the report of the next release of Israeli hostages planned as part of the Gaza Strip.
08:44In Afghanistan, a suicide attack killed five civilians and members of the Taliban security forces
08:53who were guarding a bank in the provincial capital of Kunduz, in the north of the country.
08:59According to the local police, seven people were injured in the attack,
09:05carried out shortly after the opening of the Kabul bank by a kamikaze armed with hand-made explosives.
09:12The attack has so far not been claimed.
09:15The number of bomb attacks and suicide attacks in Afghanistan has, however,
09:20considerably decreased since the return of the Taliban to power in August 2021.
09:29In Morocco, a Royal Navy high-sea patrol intercepted Monday at 118 km northwest of the port of Tintane,
09:41a pneumatic boat carrying 41 candidates for irregular emigration.
09:48Rescued people of sub-Saharan origin intended to reach the Canary Islands,
09:55according to a statement from the General Staff of the Royal Navy,
09:59received first aid before being brought back safe and sound to the port of Tintane
10:06and handed over to the Royal Gendarmerie for administrative procedures of precise use.
10:15Towards a more ethical artificial intelligence,
10:20the Paris Summit on Artificial Intelligence is trying this Tuesday to achieve a common position.
10:27Participating states are guaranteed, but may be eclipsed by the views of Elon Musk
10:36on a key player in the open sector.
10:40State leaders and leaders of the TEC meet at the Grand Palais on Tuesday,
10:47on the last day of the summit for the 13-person speech.
10:51Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in the country where the event takes place,
10:56the US Vice President Vance, the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen,
11:03the Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres,
11:07the President-General of Google Sandar Pichai,
11:12the Director-General of the South Korean group Naver,
11:16and the singer and creator of the fashion, Pharrell Williams,
11:20are also among the speakers.
11:24More details with Rajen.
11:27How to make artificial intelligence a force for human service?
11:32This is the question to which the major players in the tech sector
11:37and politicians present at the IAEA Summit in Paris will try to answer.
11:42There are nearly 1,500 participants for this third edition,
11:46one of the major issues of which is deepfake.
11:49This technology responsible for the pollution of the world of information
11:53appears to be one of the great dangers of the growing use of artificial intelligence.
11:59But this summit also aims to assert Europe's credibility in the IAEA race.
12:05In this context, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi co-presides the summit
12:10with the head of the French state.
12:12By associating with this emerging country, the Elysée wants to avoid in the IAEA race
12:18a competition only between the United States and China.
12:22On this first day, more than 60 major European companies
12:26have announced the launch of a coalition to make Europe a world leader.
12:31Named the EU AI Champions Initiative, this alliance will be presented to Emmanuel Macron,
12:37to 15 other heads of state and European governments,
12:41as well as to the head of the European Executive, Ursula von der Leyen.
12:45These companies will invest €109 billion in this project.
12:49According to its promoters, this coalition must allow to unlock the full and entire potential
12:55of Europe in artificial intelligence.
12:58In particular, by simplifying the regulatory framework around this new technology.
13:07We are going to Ivory Coast, Abidjan,
13:09which hosts the first edition of the International Forum on Professions and Skills,
13:15under the theme of reinventing professional training for human capital,
13:20driver of inclusive and sustainable growth.
13:23This event aims to address the challenges of the labor market
13:27in a profound transformation.
13:29Mel Bershel and Ange Wilfred report.
13:33The International Forum on Professions and Skills, FIMEC 2025,
13:37a meeting to rethink the future of skills in the Ivory Coast.
13:41In the halls of the Forum, students, like these young girls in the second year of G2,
13:46initiate 3D modeling under the passionate explanations of a trainer.
13:51After attending the conference, we came to visit the booths,
13:55because we were told that if we come, we will have things that we will like.
13:59So we came, we are directly directed here,
14:01since it is technical and technical things,
14:04and we are really passionate about this.
14:06And if we are asked to choose a job, we will take this one.
14:10This event, organized by the National Agency for Professional Training,
14:15is a strategic platform to redefine the foundations of professional training
14:19in the Ivory Coast and the sub-region.
14:21We want, through this forum, to show that professional training is a way of opportunity.
14:27And this forum is a platform for exchange and sharing experiences
14:31with national and international experts,
14:34with practices that have worked well elsewhere,
14:37to see how we can adapt them and implement them here in the Ivory Coast.
14:42Beyond the speeches, this first edition marks a clear commitment
14:45of the Ivorian government to build a more resilient and innovative training system,
14:50capable of meeting the challenges of digital and ecological mutations.
14:54Professional training is an essential key for the development of human capital.
14:59It not only strengthens economic competitiveness,
15:02but also promotes inclusive and sustainable growth.
15:05By relying on training policies adapted to the needs of the labor market,
15:10and by investing in the training of young people,
15:12women and vulnerable groups,
15:14the country will create a solid and dynamic human capital,
15:17an essential engine of its long-term economic development.
15:21A promising 2025 edition,
15:23which places the Ivory Coast on the path to the sustainable transformation of its human capital.
15:28The FIMEC aims to become an essential meeting point to build skills for tomorrow.
15:35We now turn to our guest of the day,
15:41Driss Eissaoui, political and economic analyst,
15:46whom we will meet in Rabat.
15:49Hello, Driss Eissaoui, and thank you for being with us.
15:58This Tuesday, the Council is holding a plenary session
16:04dedicated to the closure of the first session of the legislative year 2024-2025.
16:11What were the highlights of this first session,
16:17and what can we learn from this first session, Mr Eissaoui?
16:22In fact, the Council is continuing all the work
16:30that the Moroccan Parliament started with the first session.
16:36For example, discussions on the code of the strike,
16:44the discussion on the project of the law of finance,
16:50which has now become the law of finance 2025.
16:54And there are also a number of positions
16:59that have been sought by trade unions,
17:02and especially by political parties,
17:04which have not been able to express themselves in debates or commissions.
17:08But today, I think the opportunity has been given to them,
17:13and they have expressed themselves,
17:15and they have presented their point of view
17:18on the issue of the strike,
17:24or on the projects that were presented
17:30within the framework of the law of finance 2025,
17:34which has now become effective.
17:38In the Chamber of Representatives,
17:41a plenary session is devoted to the examination of an exhibition
17:47by the Cour des Comptes.
17:49In short, what does this exhibition contain?
17:52Can you tell us a little more about it?
17:57In fact, the Cour des Comptes, which is a constitutional institution,
18:04has prepared a report on the year 2023-2024.
18:08The president of this institution came to the two chambers
18:13and gave her exhibition.
18:15In fact, it is an exhibition that highlights
18:20the functioning of the economic and social state
18:24in which the Kingdom of Morocco is evolving.
18:28I think that what was presented by the Cour des Comptes
18:32is an extremely relevant analysis of the mechanisms
18:39that can block the functioning of Moroccan public institutions,
18:46but what has been demonstrated by the Cour des Comptes
18:50are all the flaws and the issues that there were
18:55on the law of finance,
18:57on, for example, the execution of a certain number of projects,
19:01and the Cour des Comptes did not retain its point of view.
19:06It said everything.
19:08And the different parliamentary groups
19:13have already spoken.
19:16Already at the Chamber of Representatives,
19:19they have spoken, they have expressed themselves,
19:22and these are sessions that are broadcast directly
19:26on the radio channels of the SNRT.
19:30And I think that Moroccan citizens can follow these debates.
19:36Mr. Essaoui, let's talk about the Law of Finance 2025.
19:41What were the essential and major novelties of this law of finance?
19:49The Law of Finance 2025 was, of course,
19:52introduced by a framework note from the head of government
19:56which was widely disseminated within the government.
19:59What does it provide?
20:01It provides a number of extremely important things
20:06for the reform of all the socio-economic processes
20:14that exist in Morocco.
20:16And what has been done in the budget of 2025,
20:24I think that there is, first of all,
20:27a continuation of the structural reforms that Morocco had started.
20:33There is also an extremely important work
20:37that has been presented in terms of managing water scarcity.
20:42And there is also all the work that has been presented
20:46in terms of, let's say,
20:49the reforms affecting the socio-economic sectors
20:54that must continue, of course,
20:57with the monitoring of trade unions, of the government
21:02and of all the components of Moroccan society.
21:07The Law on the Strike project has become a hot topic.
21:13What were the main blockades
21:19on the Law on the Strike project?
21:26In fact, the framework law for regulating the strike law
21:31is a debate that has been going on for thirty years.
21:34And now, I think that the trade unions
21:37have not accepted the fact that the government
21:40puts them in front of the fact.
21:43He told them, I have a number of remarks
21:46that you have not taken into account.
21:49We have important things that we have asked
21:52that have not been done.
21:54So what they did,
21:56is that they decided to mark a strike
22:00of protest against the attitude of the government.
22:03And that is something special.
22:07An organic law that organizes the right to strike,
22:12it is possible.
22:14But we absolutely had to listen
22:17to the essential partners that are the trade unions.
22:21And we cannot forget the trade unions
22:24that have completely changed their role.
22:26They have become very constructive.
22:28And they obviously work with the government
22:33by trying to build compromises
22:37to allow the working class
22:41to meet their needs.
22:44And above all, to defend their expectations,
22:47whether in the private sector or in the public sector.
22:50But I think that this has not been heard.
22:54And this is what has pushed the trade unions,
22:57whether the IMF or the other trade unions,
23:01to observe a strike that has been followed,
23:05and if it is there, at the level of the national territory.
23:08Mr. Elissaoui,
23:11thank you for answering our questions.
23:14Thank you for this insight.
23:15And I remind you that you are a political and economic analyst.
23:22Mr. Axon,
23:24the Senegalese journalist-researcher
23:28has published a book on insecurity in the Sahel.
23:32The work analyzes in depth
23:35the security and political issues in the region,
23:39but also leads to solutions
23:42to get the Sahel out of the spiral of violence.
23:46Let's hear from our correspondents in Dakar,
23:49Fatou Sissé and Sherenda.
23:52The Sahel has been plunged for years
23:55into a deep security crisis,
23:58with terrorist groups and other criminal networks
24:01threatening the stability of the region.
24:04It is in this context that this journalist-researcher
24:07published a 203-page book
24:10entitled Insecurity in the Sahel,
24:13Get Out of the Crisis.
24:15In my opinion,
24:18the first step to eradicate the threat
24:21was to set up sectoral development policies,
24:24to encourage young people to turn their backs on these criminal groups,
24:28and above all to focus on youth policy
24:32and to resolve the employment crisis
24:35affecting young Africans in all countries and in all parts of the continent.
24:39In the book, Morocco is also highlighted
24:42for its inclusive and community approach.
24:45The country has made significant efforts
24:48in the fight against insecurity in the Sahel.
24:51The Moroccan doctrine in the fight against insecurity
24:54is still exemplary because the king of Morocco
24:57has implemented legal reforms
25:00as well as economic reforms
25:03to try to neutralize the criminal groups in his territory.
25:06There are also a lot of economic projects
25:09launched by the king of Morocco
25:12to try to find employment for young people
25:15because the criminal groups target young people
25:18and recruit young people from 25 to 30 years old.
25:21The situation in the Sahel requires
25:24a balanced cooperation between the north and the south
25:27as well as a strengthened collaboration
25:30between the southern countries as well as the alliance of the Sahel states
25:33to resolve the security crises.
25:36This is what this Senegalese retired officer explains to us here.
25:41It is still possible to stop the crisis
25:44thanks to the co-construction by the Africans
25:47of a regional cooperation strategy
25:50with the great powers, at least some of them,
25:53but under the pretext of starting by resolving
25:56the internal contradictions in the states.
25:59This book entitled Insecurity in the Sahel,
26:02Getting Out of the Crisis,
26:05provides important ideas to discuss security in the Sahel.
26:08The book also offers practical solutions
26:12for a better future in the region.
26:18This is how this edition ends.
26:21Thank you for following it and staying with us.
