00:00Welcome to the new edition of Le Grand Journal Mediamore, here are the headlines.
00:16Mali, Nigeria and Burkina Faso announced this Sunday the call of their ambassadors in Algeria, who have been accused of having shot down a drone of the army of Bamako in Mali.
00:29Customs, Iran and Gaza on the menu of the visit of Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday in Washington at a time when the civil defense in the Gaza Strip has reported at least 44 people killed in new Israeli aerial bombings this Sunday.
00:50And then in the U-17 Arcane in Morocco, the Alliance of the Atlas validates their tickets for the quarterfinals. They will face South Africa and they also qualify for the World Cup in the Qatar category. The Moroccan team won against Tanzania with 3-0. More details in the new edition of Le Grand Journal.
01:09Mali, Nigeria and Burkina Faso announced this Sunday the call of their ambassadors in Algeria, who have been accused of having shot down a drone of the army of Bamako in Mali.
01:32The announcement was made by the three countries in a joint statement. The Algerian authorities did not react immediately. According to the Malian government, the drone was located 9.5 km south of the border with Algeria. This contention is the last between Mali and its Algerian neighbor. Relations have ceased to deteriorate in recent years.
01:53The two countries had already called their respective ambassadors following a riot in December 2023. I suggest you listen to the Malian Minister of Security and Civil Protection.
02:24The government of the transition concludes with absolute certainty that the drone of the Malian armed forces was destroyed following a premeditated hostile action by the Algerian regime.
02:37In response to this heinous provocation by the Algerian regime, the government of the transition decides to 1. call the Algerian ambassador to protest against the hostility of the Algerian regime, 2. withdraw with immediate effect from the committee of the State-Major General Conjuin Simok, 3. file a complaint in front of international bodies against the Algerian regime for acts of aggression.
03:03The increase in customs rights announced by Donald Trump, tensions with Iran and the Israeli offensive in Gaza are on the agenda.
03:12This Monday, between the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the American President at the White House, Netanyahu and the first foreign leader to meet Trump since he decided to impose additional customs rights targeting a large part of the products imported by the United States.
03:30The United States, waiting for Washington directly after a four-day visit to Hungary, has the main objective of persuading the American president to return to his decision or at least to reduce the rights that will be imposed on Israeli imports.
03:46Israel will thus be inflicted with 17% increase in customs rights. Netanyahu will also mention the war in the Gaza Strip, Israeli hostages and the growing Iranian threat.
04:01And the civilian defense in the Gaza Strip was at least 44 people killed in new Israeli aerial bombings this Sunday.
04:10Israel is on its side of a projectile salvo fired from the Palestinian territory to which Benjamin Netanyahu ordered a strong response.
04:20According to the spokesman for civilian defense, Mahmoud Bassel, the Israeli strikes have been at least 44 deaths since Sunday at dawn.
04:30One of the strikes killed six Palestinians in the Del Tufahwa neighborhood.
04:35A group of people gathered near a bakery, said Bassel.
04:40Three children are among the dead, he said in a statement.
04:44Hamas has condemned a deliberate murder of children in the devastated Palestinian territory besieged by Israel for 18 months.
04:51On its side, the Israeli army has been a rare salvo of a dozen projectiles fired from the Gaza Strip to Israel.
04:58Following these shots, Benjamin Netanyahu instructed to provide a strong response and to approve the continuation of the intensified operations of the Israeli army in Gaza.
05:10In Khan Younes, south of the Gaza Strip, unoccupied residents are digging the rubble.
05:16An Israeli strike has destroyed houses, leaving behind lifeless bodies, injured people and families desperately looking for their belongings on the rubble.
05:28At 11 p.m., the bombs began to fall on us. They hit us.
05:32All these people were martyred and we escaped justly.
05:35May God never forgive them, whoever is responsible for all this. God is our only refuge. We implore Him.
05:43This attack comes after several days of Israeli strikes,
05:47as part of the intensification of operations aimed at putting pressure on Hamas to free its hostages.
05:56We just want to be able to sleep like everyone else.
05:59I woke up when I heard my neighbor's house collapse.
06:03We did not hear the noise. We only saw smoke and a huge explosion.
06:08My neighbors were found torn apart in my house.
06:15The context of violence continues in the Gaza Strip,
06:19while the efforts of Mediasan, led by Egypt and Qatar, are left without a trace.
06:25In the news, Turkey, the head of the opposition's main party,
06:31called for an election to be held in anticipation of an extraordinary congress of his party in Ankara.
06:36The leader of the People's Republican Party is asking for these elections to take place as late as in November,
06:42the day after the arrest of the candidate of the party for the next presidential election.
06:47The mayor of Istanbul, Krem Emamoglu, has the details with Rajengo.
06:54During an exceptional congress in Ankara,
06:57Özgür Ozel was re-elected as head of the People's Republican Party, Turkey's main opposition party.
07:05During his speech, the head of the opposition called for an election to be held as late as in November.
07:14We are ready to save Turkey from you, Mr. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan,
07:19with the candidate we are proud of, our team and our courage.
07:24This statement comes after 10 days of fierce protests in the country,
07:29triggered by the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Emamoglu, a member of the People's Republican Party.
07:36His arrest was described as a coup d'état by his party,
07:39because the mayor of Istanbul was going to make his candidacy official for the next presidential election.
07:45Özgür Ozel addressed President Recep Tayyip Erdogan directly.
07:51We challenge you, if you have the courage, you will come.
07:54In November, you will face our candidate.
07:58The People's Republican Party took the lead in the municipal elections in March 2024,
08:04with 37.8% of the votes across the country.
08:08The main opposition party of Turkey had thus won,
08:12in addition to metropolises such as Istanbul and Ankara,
08:15other bastions of the Justice and Development Party of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
08:23We go to Guinea, which is facing a return to constitutional order.
08:27The President of the Transition has set the date of the referendum on September 21.
08:32Biometric enrollment kits are already received by the authorities.
08:37Our correspondent in Conakry, Idrissa Sissé, tells us more.
08:43The reception of these 37 pallets containing 3,000 biometric enrollment kits
08:48is a significant step forward in the process of returning to constitutional order in Guinea.
08:53According to the Ministry in charge of decentralization,
08:57these received equipment are certified by experts from the International Organization of Francophonie,
09:03which accompanies the process.
09:05The return to constitutional order begins with the implementation of the new constitution.
09:12But for the implementation of the new constitution,
09:15it is necessary to vote,
09:18it is necessary the referendum scrutiny.
09:21But for the referendum scrutiny,
09:24it is necessary to produce electoral files.
09:29I am very happy today to receive the biometric enrollment kits of citizens.
09:37It is a great honor for us.
09:39It allows us to respect the delay that the President of the Republic has taken in front of the people of Guinea.
09:47It is a great pride that I have.
09:49In a decree read on the antennas of the public media,
09:53the President of the Transition set the date of the referendum on September 21, 2025.
09:59This other act of central power reassures sociopolitical actors.
10:04The establishment of the electoral file through the general review,
10:07which will take a maximum of two months.
10:10When you calculate, you will see that the fork of the date is really tenable.
10:18The recommendations that we can make to the authorities of the Transition
10:23is to organize a case of consultation with sociopolitical actors
10:29to really exchange around the process
10:32so that there is a synergy of action between political actors
10:35and the authorities of the Transition for the realization of this historical act.
10:40Contrary to initial forecasts,
10:43the National Program for Administrative Review in the name of the civil state
10:47will no longer serve as a basis for the next elections.
10:50In place, a national biometric review will be launched from April 15, 2025.
10:59To break the enclave of the backward areas
11:02and strengthen the basic services in a period of 30 months,
11:05the Mauritanian government announced the launch of an emergency program
11:09for the development of scale,
11:11with a budget of nearly 260 billion douguillats for the interior regions.
11:21The provinces of the interior of Mauritania
11:24suffer from a serious shortage of basic services.
11:27In addition, the effects of drought have a direct consequence,
11:31a mass rural exodus.
11:33To try to solve the crisis,
11:35the government launched an emergency program
11:38for the development of the states of the interior.
11:41With a budget of 260 billion douguillats,
11:44that is 600 billion dollars,
11:46this project aims to improve infrastructures,
11:49to provide water and to support the agricultural and pastoral sector.
11:55This emergency program aims to strengthen infrastructures
11:59and to guarantee the access of citizens to basic services,
12:02while responding to the demand for decentralization,
12:05by responding to the different needs of citizens in a period of 30 months.
12:09It may be one of the biggest programs ever put in place in recent decades.
12:19The program answers the concerns of citizens
12:22expressed during regional forums
12:24for the participatory planning of development.
12:27The Mauritanian government has proposed to prepare a report
12:31on the states of the interior,
12:33faced with enclavement and drought.
12:36Some observers believe that these regions need such programs urgently,
12:41due to a lack of development projects.
12:45The Mauritanian government's program is a scale project
12:49that will generate positive outcomes for citizens and the local economy.
12:54The biggest challenge for this program
12:57is to guarantee its implementation in the planned deadlines,
13:01with a rigorous monitoring of the stages of implementation,
13:05in order to ensure that the projects benefit those who really need them
13:10and to meet the set objectives.
13:15The implementation of the emergency program for development
13:18will take place over a period of three years,
13:21with a budgetary cut for each year.
13:23This project raises great hopes among the inhabitants of the interior regions.
13:27It comes in the middle of the challenges related to the degradation of living conditions,
13:32with an official commitment to give back life to these forgotten regions.
13:38Let's go to Niger with the tennis.
13:41It's Saturday and Sunday of the 6th edition of the Niger River Civilizations Festival.
13:47A meeting that celebrates the culture and customs of the different ethnicities
13:52that share the banks of the river.
13:54This moment of sharing and cohesion also aims to highlight
13:58the historical wealth of the region.
14:00Our correspondent Jean-Diébrille William tells us more.
14:05These are festivities, all in blood and in color,
14:08that took place over the weekend on the banks of the Niger River.
14:12Touareg, Pearl, Kanuri or Soniki
14:15were honored at the festival of the river civilizations launched on Saturday.
14:20An ode to the cohesion between tradition and custom of these ethnicities living on the banks of the river.
14:25This year's theme, the river tourism,
14:28a factor of resilience, peace and cohesion between the river communities,
14:32translates our faith in the river's ability to be much more than a natural good.
14:39The Niger River, as a place of life and memory,
14:43is also a place of exchange between communities united by water and destiny.
14:49Between traditional songs and dances,
14:51the festival is an opportunity, like every year, to highlight the cultural wealth,
14:55but also the tourist potential of the river region.
14:59But if the authorities hope for the return of foreigners,
15:02the target is now more local.
15:04A way to reboost tourism,
15:07damaged by the insecurity that has affected the region of Tinaberri in the south-east of the country in recent years.
15:12For reasons of insecurity, foreigners cannot come to Niger.
15:16But now we want to develop domestic tourism.
15:18That's why we organize these different festivals.
15:21It is also a product of touristic appeal.
15:23We want the rivers of Niamey to discover a site,
15:27this majestic site of Boubon,
15:29which is right on the edge of the Niger River,
15:31to discover the tourist potential of our region.
15:36And in Boubon, where it is the case for its third consecutive edition,
15:40the Festival des Civilisations is the occasion for the locality of Renoui,
15:44with its reputation from the past.
15:46Here, the pottery, which used to attract many tourists,
15:49is taken over by visitors,
15:51the time of the 48 hours that the festivities last.
15:55Boubon has always been known for its red bricks and pottery,
15:58but with the terrorist risks,
16:00tourists no longer dare to come here as they did before.
16:03This festival is therefore a breath of fresh air for us,
16:06because it is the only time of the year
16:08when we can sell our products without moving.
16:11It is on the waters of Niger that this 6th edition
16:14of the Festival des Civilisations du Fleuve was completed.
16:17Boat excursions, pirogue races
16:20or fishing nets launch contests
16:22have thus allowed visitors to discover the tourist potential
16:25that the Niger River offers,
16:27through the variety of cultures of its populations
16:30living along its 4,200 km.
16:34Speaking of sports,
16:36in Morocco's Cannes U17,
16:38the Atlas Valley Lions,
16:40their ticket to the quarter-finals,
16:42will face South Africa.
16:44They are also qualified for the Qatar World Cup.
16:48The protectors of Nabil Baha
16:50have imposed themselves on the score,
16:523 goals to 0,
16:54against Tanzania
16:56at the Bashir de Mohamedia Stadium,
16:59to which the young Moroccans
17:01have waited for the second period
17:03to fold the match.
17:05Ilyas Murtzar unlocked the counter
17:07at the 76th minute,
17:09before Abdelaziz Nekors added it
17:11thanks to his double at the 80th
17:13and then at the 84th minute of the meeting.
17:16Morocco ends first in its group A
17:18with 7 points.
17:21The best-of of the guests of Mediintv
17:23is right now.
17:35Compulsory loans are often
17:37for financing,
17:39infrastructure,
17:41or budgetary,
17:43for example,
17:45in order to finance
17:47the development
17:50or to make imports.
17:52In the case of Morocco,
17:54there are no international compulsory loans
17:56to import cereals.
17:58It happens in countries.
18:00To import what we call
18:02incomprehensible imports,
18:04that is,
18:06compulsory imports,
18:08such as medicines.
18:10There are some countries
18:12that will issue
18:14an international compulsory loan
18:17in order to finance
18:19consumption needs.
18:21Morocco does not.
18:23It is for public investments.
18:25We are talking about infrastructure
18:27and the preparation of the World Cup 2030.
18:29But we have issued loans
18:31because Moroccan public finances
18:33are known to be healthy.
18:35They have a very positive rating
18:37from Standard & Poor's,
18:39Modi's and Fitch.
18:41We are on BB+,
18:43which is very positive,
18:46and public finances are sustainable.
18:48So we issue compulsory loans
18:50because we can do them in the long term.
18:52We benefit from rates
18:54that are much less volatile
18:56than the variable rates
18:58we can find in some banks.
19:00We also benefit from our notoriety
19:02in terms of financial stability
19:04in Morocco.
19:08We have approximately three products
19:10that we export very often to the United States.
19:12Semiconductors,
19:14parts and accessories
19:16that cost approximately
19:18$200 million to $250 million.
19:20We also have parts and accessories
19:22for aeronautical vehicles
19:24that cost approximately
19:26$200 million.
19:28And of course,
19:30chemical fertilizers
19:32and minerals,
19:34such as phosphate,
19:36that exceed $100 million.
19:40These are the three products
19:42that will be most affected
19:44by this imposition.
19:46But I think
19:48we should look at
19:50the free trade agreement
19:52from 2017-2017
19:54for products 100% Moroccan.
19:56Should we add value?
19:58I would call on the judges
20:00to discuss this later.
20:06I think that sport
20:08is an entire ecosystem.
20:10It is a family cell
20:12where we insist
20:14on encouraging
20:16young people to thrive
20:18through extracurricular activities.
20:24Sport is a powerful
20:26lever for social transformation,
20:28integration,
20:30and inclusion.
20:32Through sport,
20:34we share values
20:36of self-confidence.
20:38I insist on this point
20:40because we were all young
20:42and there were stages
20:44that were more difficult than others.
20:46Pre-adolescence, adolescence,
20:48or by practicing a sport,
20:50we can discover ourselves.
20:52This is my personal case.
20:54I explained it last time.
20:56I was quite tall when I was young
20:58and it's true that I locked myself in.
21:00And when I started practicing
21:02a sport, I was fulfilled.
21:04So it's really important
21:06to have an adequate family base
21:08especially as a young woman.
21:10There are some,
21:12culturally speaking,
21:14in some countries
21:16where young women are not allowed
21:18to practice a sport
21:20while it can be enriching
21:22and a way to thrive.
21:26I'll give you just two figures
21:28to explain.
21:30Last year, we exported
21:32more than $2 billion
21:34and this year
21:36we have a commercial deficit
21:38with the United States
21:40of $3 billion.
21:42So that means
21:44we import $5 billion
21:46and we export $2 billion.
21:48The problem is more
21:50in terms of imports than exports.
21:58This is how this edition ends.
22:02Stay tuned for more
22:04on Mediantv.
