00:00We are still together on MEDIEN TV, thank you for staying faithful to us.
00:20Here are the headlines of your day.
00:22The horror continues in Gaza where Israeli strikes cost 14 lives this morning.
00:29792 since the resumption of the Otshal operations.
00:36Ukrainian and American officials met in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to speak to Russian-Americans
00:43who, for the time being, have not reached the announcement of a truce,
00:47even very limited, expected by the American president Donald Trump.
00:53Match day for the Moroccan leader of their group,
00:56the Lions of Atlas face Tanzania tonight at the Doujda Honor Stadium.
01:00A happy match for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
01:10But before developing these headlines,
01:12know that the head of Moroccan diplomacy, Nasser Bouhita,
01:17met yesterday in Rabat with the UN Secretary-General's personal envoy
01:23for the Moroccan Sahara, Stéphane de Mistura.
01:26The visit is part of a regional tour,
01:29which intervened on the eve of informal consultations
01:33of the UN Security Council scheduled for mid-April.
01:37The meeting took place in the presence of the permanent ambassador
01:41of the Kingdom to the UN, Omar Hilal.
01:46During this interview, the Moroccan delegation
01:49proposed the international dynamic in favor of the Moroccan Sahara
01:54in support of the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative.
01:58Ukrainian and American officials met in Saudi Arabia
02:03on Tuesday to speak to Russian-Americans
02:07who, for the time being, have not reached the announcement
02:10of a truce, even very limited, expected by Donald Trump.
02:14Russia, which saluted in a useful dialogue, although not easy,
02:18is accused by Kiev of playing the watch to take advantage of its advantage on the front.
02:26It called today for a wider discussion involving the UN and other countries.
02:33The horror continues in Gaza.
02:42Women, children, doctors, humanitarian journalists.
02:45No one was spared by the Israeli strikes
02:48that cost 14 Gaza Street lives this morning.
02:51792 since the resumption of Israeli military operations.
02:56In Hanouness, nine people were killed at dawn,
02:59including a family of five members, two parents and their three boys.
03:04According to civil defense, five other people were killed
03:07by an Israeli strike on a building in Zeytoun,
03:11a district in the southeast of Gaza City.
03:18Israel, which continues its military operations on the ground,
03:22encircles in the Rafah district a few days after the bombings
03:26that targeted the Nasser Hospital in Hanouness.
03:32The Nasser Hospital in Hanouness is almost destroyed.
03:36The Israeli army launched an air strike on the hospital where the injured civilians were.
03:41Hamas said in a statement that the strike had killed Ismail Bahoum,
03:46a member of its political bureau.
03:48The strike killed two people and injured several,
03:51including medical personnel affected to varying degrees.
03:54A missile directly hit the second floor of the emergency building.
04:00To be more precise, it directly destroyed the male surgery unit, as you can see.
04:05That said, 90% of the patients were evacuated, safe and sound.
04:13Today's strike on the Nasser Medical Complex
04:16and the discharging of the surgical unit is a message of occupation
04:20to discharge this medical complex.
04:23I can say that the Nasser Medical Complex
04:25is the largest hospital currently in operation in the Gaza Strip.
04:28It resumed its operations in May last year after being out of service.
04:35This new Israeli offensive comes five days after breaking the ceasefire with Hamas.
04:41The Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz,
04:44confirmed in a statement that the target of the strike was Ismail Bahoum.
04:49The Israeli army, for its part, said it had carried out a precision strike
04:53on a key member of Hamas operating within the hospital complex.
04:57Despite the treacherous agreement concluded between Israel and Hamas in January,
05:01Israeli military operations continue to cause several deaths in the Palestinian territory.
05:07This return to violence in Gaza worries international diplomatic officials.
05:13The resumption of indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel
05:16is the only possible way to put an end to the suffering on both sides,
05:20assured the head of European Diplomacy, Kaja Kalas, in a visit to the Middle East.
05:25The retaliatory offensive launched by Israel has caused more than 50,000 deaths in Gaza,
05:30mostly civilians, including more than 700 deaths in a week.
05:36Have you ever been added to a conversation group by mistake?
05:41In any case, in the United States, this is what happened to Jeffrey Goldberg,
05:45the editor-in-chief of the magazine The Atlantic.
05:48Except that he received the war plans of the Trump administration,
05:52more precisely the US attack plan against the Yemeni rebels.
05:57The White House confirms, minimizes and conducts an investigation
06:01to find out how his number ended up in this confidential conversation.
06:07Meanwhile, this unlikely security breach shakes the American political class.
06:16Hours between demonstrators and police forces, repression, then arrest.
06:21In Turkey, the days follow and look alike.
06:25Gatherings continue in several cities of the country
06:29to denounce the incarceration of the mayor of Istanbul, the claims of Imam Lou.
06:33Authorities announced hours of new arrests of demonstrators
06:38after a sixth night of mobilization at the call of the CHP,
06:45the party of the imprisoned mayor who called yesterday
06:49to the boycott of 11 famous powers, including a famous coffee chain.
07:01The appeals to the moderation of the head of European diplomacy have not changed much.
07:06On the contrary, they are completely ignored.
07:09Ignored by the Israeli army, which struck in the south of Syria
07:13in response to shots, I quote, of terrorists.
07:17This incursion of Tzahal in the province of Deraa killed at least five people.
07:23Since December, Israel has been carrying hundreds of strikes
07:27on military sites of the former power in Syria,
07:31claiming to want to prevent the arsenal from falling into the hands of the new authorities
07:36they call, I quote, terrorists.
07:40In Lebanon, a person was killed last night in an Israeli strike
07:44targeting the south of the country after intensive strikes
07:48on this region over the weekend.
07:52Israel carried out strikes on Saturday, killing at least eight people
07:57in response to rocket shots that targeted its territory
08:01for the first time since the start of a strike on November 27th.
08:05No party claimed these rocket shots on the Israeli town of Metula in the north.
08:16Emergency lawyers in a group of Sudanese lawyers pro-democracy
08:21say that the planes of combat of the Sudanese armed forces
08:25perpetrated a horrible massacre with a blind aerial strike
08:31on the market of Tora in the north of Darfur,
08:34killing hundreds of civilians and seriously injuring dozens.
08:38A difficult time for them to verify due to the cut of telecommunications in the region.
08:46In the rest of the news, the UN is shaking the spectrum of the return of the SIDA pandemic
08:52without American aid.
08:54For the director of NICIDA, the world, particularly Africa,
08:58could relive the worst hours of this pandemic
09:01without the financial support of the United States through international aid.
09:05UNIBIANIMA spoke at a press conference yesterday in Geneva.
09:11For the UN director, if nothing is done,
09:14there will be 6.3 million additional deaths due to SIDA in the next four years,
09:19ten times more than the 600,000 recorded in 2023.
09:27After several years at the service of the Malian justice,
09:31they are a dozen men and women who have valued their right to retire
09:37and to whom the Malian Ministry of Justice intended to pay tribute during a ceremony.
09:44Mohamed Danyoko.
09:46Retired in December 2024,
09:48the tribute ceremony at the place of the dozen officers of the Department of Justice
09:52took place in the presence of their families and former colleagues.
09:57While you are starting this new chapter of your life,
10:00we know that your departure creates a difficult void to fill.
10:05However, we are also convinced that you leave behind a solid legacy.
10:14To have worked with many of them and served under some,
10:19the Minister of Justice made a testimony of their rich career.
10:24Dear retirees, it took many years of sacrifice, deprivation, resistance
10:32to the influences of all natures,
10:34to meet the challenges related to the profession you have chosen to serve justice.
10:42In a word, you leave the world of work with the feeling of accomplishment,
10:49with the priesthood you were asked to do,
10:54the deontological codes that govern your different professions
10:58and the oath you have taken.
11:01These are happy retirees who have thanked the assistance and the Minister.
11:07By addressing my sincere thanks to the Minister of Justice
11:14and to all his collaborators who initiated this ceremony,
11:19sober, convivial, but also comforting for us.
11:28Retirees that the Minister intends to consult more often
11:31to benefit from their wisdom and their experience.
11:37The head of the Mozambican opposition, Venetio Mondlane,
11:40announced yesterday that he had concluded with President Daniel Chapeau
11:45an agreement to put an end to all violence after months of post-electoral clashes,
11:51after sometimes extreme political tensions.
11:53The two men met to discuss solutions to the challenges the country is facing
11:59and to promote national stability and reconciliation.
12:03According to the local NGO Plataforma Décidé,
12:08more than 360 people have lost their lives,
12:11a majority are victims of bullet wounds in these violences
12:15that shook the country after the October presidential election.
12:24Like other countries in the world,
12:26the Ivory Coast celebrated the World Water Day last week.
12:30This year, the Ivorian authorities insisted on eco-responsible gestures
12:35and the protection of watercourses.
12:38Melissa Coné and Angelou Friedman.
12:44Water, source of life. Without it, there would be no possible life on earth.
12:48Every human being needs it to exist.
12:51To preserve this precious manna in the Ivory Coast,
12:54the Ministry of Water and Forestry has decided to raise awareness
12:57to the preservation of water and the environment.
13:00Preservation of glaciers is the theme of this 2025 edition of the World Water Day.
13:06Even if the country does not have glaciers,
13:09their melting has direct consequences on the Ivory Coast,
13:12which has a maritime façade of more than 500 km.
13:16This climate change modifies the hydrological regimes,
13:25causing periods of drought, more frequent and severe floods,
13:31a reduction in the flow of watercourses,
13:34impacting the hydroelectric production,
13:37major disruptions in agriculture,
13:42jeopardizing the food security of millions of Ivorians.
13:49Workshops on reflection and awareness on the theme of the preservation of glaciers
13:54have furnished this day with the aim of fighting effectively
13:58against climate change and the global water crisis.
14:01The best angle to address the issue for the Ivory Coast
14:04is to go in the direction of reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
14:09but above all to work on the climate change
14:13that we can adapt to in time,
14:16but also to mitigate these harmful effects that impact all sectors of activity.
14:22In the latest UN report on the value of water resources,
14:26more than 2 billion people in the world still do not have access to drinking water and sanitation.
14:34In Senegal, the village of Arts of Dakar has become a museum
14:37for lovers of culture, but also of African history.
14:40The site includes 52 workshops where painting, sculpture, ceramics,
14:45photography, video, installation, in short,
14:48all disciplines of visual arts are represented.
14:51The discovery of this cultural emblem of the country
14:54in this report by Aïchata Diakite and Monsain Dière.
14:58They transform everyday objects into a work of art
15:01where they tell the story of Senegal.
15:04For more than 50 years, the villages of Arts of Senegal have housed artists
15:08who tell the story of Senegalese and African culture
15:12with techniques that are unique to them.
15:29Others have opted for recycling,
15:32but they do not only recycle ordinary waste.
15:35Waste is also used for unique and sustainable fabrics,
15:38works of art that pay homage to the Senegalese king.
16:03I also use acrylics, industrial paints,
16:07but I also use a pigment that I get by mixing the pulp of a fruit
16:12with the sap of baobab.
16:14This is what gives thickness and relief to my work.
16:17These boxes that you also see,
16:20in these boxes I narrate the story of the former kings of Senegal.
16:24You have the big box that represents Kochi Bar Mofal
16:27and Daou Demba in the courtyard of Daou Demba Fal.
16:30The villages of Arts have become, over the years,
16:33linked to the lovers of art,
16:35even if the challenges of popularization remain to be raised.
16:40There are still people from Senegal,
16:43Senegalese art lovers,
16:46who come to visit.
16:48Schools also bring their students.
16:50Students who come,
16:52others who are simply students of the School of Fine Arts,
16:56who come.
16:58Art is living its life.
17:01We do not say that people are not interested in what we do,
17:05although we really lack an artistic education
17:09to interest the population more in the arts.
17:12It's a little shy, but still,
17:14we receive foreign Senegalese people in this space.
17:19This artistic village also houses a gallery
17:22that exhibits Senegalese and international works.
17:25A way to enhance the Senegalese artistic openness
17:29towards Africa and the world.
17:33Match day for Morocco.
17:35The Lions of the Atlas, leaders of their group,
17:38are facing Tanzania tonight at the Stade de l'Honneur d'Oujda.
17:42A happy match for the qualifying rounds of the World Cup 2026.
17:46And to talk about it, we are with Seydel Hamda,
17:49a sports journalist.
17:51He is the guest of the Grand Journal de la Mise Journée.
17:54He is live from Paris with us.
17:56Seydel Hamda, hello and thank you for accepting our invitation.
18:01Hello.
18:03So, Morocco will have a third Tanzanian team
18:07of Group E tonight,
18:09tied with Nigeria.
18:11On paper, Morocco seems to be in the lead,
18:14but on the pitch, I imagine it will not be an easy match
18:17for Hakimi and his teammates.
18:20Yes, the Tanzanian team is a difficult team to play.
18:23We are well placed to know it,
18:25since we faced them recently in the previous Cannes.
18:28We won the match, but quite difficultly.
18:32But Tanzania remains on three consecutive defeats,
18:38so they are in a fairly negative dynamic.
18:41I think that Morocco, at home,
18:43will be well placed to win this match.
18:47And how will the men of Wali Tregregui
18:50approach this match?
18:54I think they will approach it with a lot of seriousness
18:56and a lot of ambition,
18:57because there are very high stakes in this match,
19:00notably the qualification,
19:01since Morocco has the opportunity to qualify
19:03for the World Cup 2026 as soon as tonight,
19:07especially after five days,
19:09which is historic in the history of our team.
19:13After five days, we could already be automatically qualified
19:15thanks to the new format of the World Cup,
19:17which welcomes a lot more teams.
19:19So it's a match that is not at all to be taken lightly.
19:21It will give us time to work on our systems
19:24and to be qualified, to have a little bit of free spirit.
19:27And above all, Morocco will become a regular guest
19:30of the World Cup,
19:31since between 1998 and 2018,
19:34there was a huge gap where we were not qualified at all.
19:38Since 2018, we have become a regular guest
19:41and it would be Morocco's third participation in a row,
19:44which would be exceptional for Moroccan football.
19:48So you just talked about the training system.
19:52For you, what will Coach Oualid serve us tonight?
19:55Will he take the same ones and start again
19:58since we don't change a winning team?
20:00Or can we expect some changes?
20:03And if there should be changes,
20:05what position would it be?
20:10I think there will be changes,
20:11because the last match of the Lions de l'Atlas,
20:14despite the victory,
20:15still showed a lot of limits
20:17where some players were disappointed,
20:19let's say things as they are.
20:21And the substitutes,
20:22in this case Bilal Alkhannous or Ismail Saibari,
20:25will really bring the best to this team
20:28and turn the match around.
20:29I think that Oualid Regraghi would be well-inspired
20:32to give the players time to play
20:35who have shown great things in football.
20:37What is important is the dynamics of the moment.
20:40Today, we have players who are in good shape.
20:42I mentioned Bilal Alkhannous and Ismail Saibari,
20:45who are in good shape with the national team,
20:46but also with their respective clubs,
20:48Leicester and PSV Eindhoven.
20:50Today, Morocco has such an important spot
20:53that it is also necessary to make the competition play.
20:54I think that no player should be assured of being a starter
20:58and it will also allow these players to confirm
21:01that they deserve a place in the 11-man squad.
21:04And it's also an opportunity to show another face,
21:07because yes, Morocco beat Nigeria a few days ago,
21:10but it was still difficult,
21:12because Nigeria had opened the way
21:14and we still had a hard time setting up our game.
21:17So we will be very attentive to try to win,
21:20but above all to win with style,
21:22because the Moroccan people are very attentive
21:26to winning, but above all to playing well.
21:29Morocco has four wins in so many matches.
21:32So if I understand you, the team is winning,
21:34but so far it doesn't convince.
21:39It's a bit like that.
21:40After all, in football, the most important thing is to win.
21:43We're not going to complain.
21:44Morocco remains on nine consecutive wins.
21:48Of these nine consecutive wins,
21:49there are still reasons for satisfaction.
21:51We only conceded four goals,
21:52so we still have a defensive solidity that needs to be notified.
21:56Now it's true that when we see the squad
21:59that is at our disposal,
22:01we are still entitled to want more,
22:04to have a good game.
22:05We really have football players.
22:07I can talk about Brahim Diaz.
22:08I can talk about Elias Bensehir.
22:10I can talk about Achraf Hakimi, Unahi.
22:13We really have players who are very comfortable with the ball.
22:16And so it's true that we are legitimately in a position
22:21to want Morocco to play a bit like
22:24what was shown to us at the World Cup.
22:26It's true that the Moroccan public is very,
22:28very fond of technical moves, beautiful sequences,
22:31passes, built-up actions, etc.
22:33It's true that in the last few games,
22:35we've found that a little less.
22:36And it's extremely frustrating when you see
22:39the vivier that we have at our disposal.
22:42So we're going to have to combine the victory
22:44with the style of play.
22:47On the side of Tanzania,
22:49who are the key players to watch out for,
22:52the players capable of creating the surprise?
22:55I wouldn't say that there are players
22:57who stand out particularly.
22:59Earlier, I was looking at the Tanzanian squad.
23:03They don't have a player who stands out
23:05or a player who evolves in a big club specifically.
23:08Now the strength of these teams is the collective,
23:11especially when they play against teams like Morocco.
23:14They have to be completely united.
23:16They have to be tactically grouped,
23:19they have to run a lot,
23:21because Morocco will logically have possession of the ball.
23:24And it's true that we still have some difficulties
23:26to play against the lower blocks.
23:28These are teams that have nothing to lose,
23:29we're not going to lie.
23:30Today they come with the desire
23:33to go and get a result,
23:34but they know very well that they are not favoured.
23:37So we shouldn't fall into their trap,
23:39as Nigeria also tried the trap a few days ago
23:42and it worked rather well since they had opened the mark.
23:45So we're going to have to be attentive to all that.
23:49But I want to say that individually,
23:51we don't have a single player who stands out
23:53at the level of Tanzania,
23:55on whom we should have a more supported look than the others.
23:59The match will be played at the Honour Complex of the city of Ujda.
24:04Enough to galvanise, isn't it,
24:06and protect them from Wali Traigraghi?
24:10Of course, playing at home is always a very big advantage.
24:13In addition, there is no movement to anticipate,
24:16since a few days ago Morocco was already playing at Ujda,
24:18so Morocco is rather well set up.
24:20They will also be able to count on the Ujda audience,
24:23which is always very faithful, which will be present.
24:26So today all the conditions are met.
24:28The time of the match is quite late
24:30to allow the players to play after the break of fasting,
24:33since most, if not almost all, of the players are under Ramadan.
24:38So we have the time that favours us,
24:40the climate that favours us,
24:42the quality of the lawn at Ujda is also very good.
24:45And so today we have no excuse
24:47to make a good performance,
24:49especially since our lions will be pushed by the audience
24:52who will be in mass tonight.
24:55And in the event of Morocco's victory tonight,
24:57what would be the next step
25:00or the objectives of the national team?
25:05Well, I don't think there's a lot of suspense on the question.
25:08If we manage to qualify for the World Cup,
25:11we're going to be focused on the future Cannes,
25:14which is coming in a few months.
25:15It's really, really, really fast.
25:17We're going to have to prepare ourselves
25:19because we're the high country.
25:21And as a high country,
25:23we have logistical welcoming objectives.
25:26We're going to have to organise a very nice Cannes,
25:29especially after the last Cannes in Côte d'Ivoire,
25:31where the bar was very high.
25:33But above all and most importantly,
25:35it's on the sporting level.
25:37And I think we still have a lot of elements to work on.
25:39We don't have an 11-man team yet.
25:42And it's a little late today
25:44compared to the deadlines that are coming.
25:46So we're going to have to work a lot.
25:48It's true that it's not easy for the coach
25:51and the national team
25:52because he doesn't have the players very, very often.
25:54There are games every three months.
25:56We have them on ten days.
25:58So it's difficult to work on the schemes,
26:00knowing that each player has preferential schemes
26:02in each of his clubs.
26:03But today we have no choice.
26:05We're going to have to get an 11-man team
26:08with certainties.
26:09And we have the players.
26:10So the main objective is Cannes.
26:13And I want to say, it's even winning it.
26:15Winning it at home.
26:16Morocco hasn't won since 1976.
26:18I think it's high time to win a trophy again.
26:21And what could be better than winning it at home?
26:24C'est des Lames d'un.
26:25On score.
26:26Prognostic for tonight's game.
26:30Ah, little prognostic.
26:31I'd say a little 2-0 for Morocco.
26:352-0 for Morocco.
26:36I don't see us conceding any goals,
26:37like we did against Niger.
26:38I think Walid Rehgraghi will correct
26:39the mistakes we made against Niger.
26:42We won't fall into a trap again.
26:44And I can see Morocco scoring two goals
26:46because I think there will be a turnover
26:48on the attacking side
26:49and the players who usually replace them
26:51want to win their place.
26:53So I think they'll have a good performance.
26:562-0.
