03:57 The event is also an opportunity to highlight the success and inspiring stories of Moroccans and their impact on German society.
04:07 "The International Competence Association Morocco decided to honor the first generation of Moroccan families settled in Germany in the 1960s,
04:19 who joined and contributed to the radiance of the Moroccan Diaspora."
04:25 "The Moroccan workers arrived in Germany in 1963 following the signing of the recruitment agreement between the two countries.
04:39 A good number of them returned to Morocco, others decided to stay with their families, being an integral part of German society."
04:47 "The Israeli army is continuing its offensive in the Gaza Strip. Bombings shook the Palestinian territory on Monday night.
04:58 Despite the international community's urgent demands to stop the fire, the army spokesman Daniel Hagari said yesterday
05:07 that the army was preparing for prolonged fighting that should last throughout the year.
05:12 According to a new report announced yesterday by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Israeli military operations killed 21,978,
05:21 most of them women and minors.
05:23 In the conflict in the Middle East, Itamar Ben-Gevir, Israeli Minister of Homeland Security,
05:32 said he was in favor of a solution encouraging the emigration of the inhabitants of Gaza
05:37 and the return of Jews to the Palestinian territory after the war.
05:41 On the ground, artillery fire and air strikes targeted the cities of Rafah and Hanounes.
05:48 According to the report announced by the Palestinian Ministry of Health,
05:52 military operations killed 21,978, most of them women and minors.
05:58 The day after a New Year's Eve, marked by incessant strikes on the Palestinian territory,
06:07 Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip would continue throughout the year.
06:14 Shayma Fikri tells us more.
06:18 The year 2024 began as 2023 ended.
06:22 Rocket fire on Tel Aviv and intense bombing on the Gaza Strip.
06:27 Gaza, where Benjamin Netanyahu warned that the war would continue for many more months.
06:34 I don't want to die in 2024.
06:39 There is no bathroom, no food, no water.
06:42 Our childhood has disappeared.
06:44 There is no bathroom, no food, no water, only tents.
06:48 There is no safe space.
06:49 There is nothing.
06:50 Our wish is to go home and end this situation.
06:54 We will get our hopes back and we will finish.
06:58 Nearly three months after the start of the conflict, the army spokesman Daniel Aghari announced
07:04 on Sunday night that the reservists would take a break to prepare for prolonged fighting
07:09 on the ground.
07:10 Artillery fire and air strikes targeted in particular the cities of Rafah and Khan Younes
07:15 on the night of the New Year, killing at least 24 people.
07:18 This year is a nightmare for all children in Gaza, for all men and all women,
07:24 for all elderly people in Gaza.
07:26 It is a nightmarish and depressing year.
07:28 Every time a war took place, we were at home, never moved from our homes.
07:33 This year, we have been moved from our homes, from our homes.
07:37 There is no education.
07:38 We have become ignorant.
07:40 There is nothing left.
07:42 Our memories are destroyed, our children and our friends.
07:45 What did the children do to die?
07:48 The start of the new year has also been timed by sirens in several parts of Israel.
07:54 On Monday, the Minister of Homeland Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, called for a return of Jewish
07:59 settlers to Gaza after the conflict and encouraged the Palestinian population to emigrate.
08:05 The day after, a similar call from another extreme right-wing minister.
08:09 The war has caused immense destruction and humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip,
08:14 Israel has placed in a state of total siege since October 9, when famine threatens and
08:19 where most hospitals are out of service.
08:24 On Sunday, about 120 humanitarian trucks entered the narrow strip of land, but the help is
08:28 still far from meeting all needs.
08:30 Since a one-week break at the end of November, which allowed the release of more than 100
08:35 hostages and the entry to Gaza of limited aid, calls for a break in the fighting have multiplied,
08:41 but without success for the moment, despite the mediations led in particular by Qatar
08:46 and Egypt.
08:47 In addition to the Gaza Strip, the occupied West Bank has also experienced a flurry of
08:52 violence.
08:53 Four Palestinians were killed today during an incursion of the Israeli army in a town
08:59 in the north of the country.
09:00 More than 300 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers since the beginning
09:05 of the war.
09:06 Israel has also led raids around several occupied cities in West Bank during the night
09:12 of Monday, including Ramallah, Jericho and Jenin, reported the Palestinian press agency
09:18 Official Wafa.
09:19 The Israeli NGO for the Defense of Human Rights, IHD, announced yesterday that 2023 had been
09:26 the most violent year ever recorded for attacks by settlers in the territory occupied by Israel
09:33 since 1967.
09:34 The Israeli Supreme Court has announced that it has invalidated a key provision of the
09:43 very controversial judicial reform promulgated by the government of Benyamin Netanyahu.
09:47 Eight of the court's 15 judges voted for its invalidation.
09:51 This invalid measure provided the judiciary with the right to speak on the reasonable
09:58 basis of the decisions of the Israeli government or parliament.
10:04 Back in Africa, Somalia reacted after the signing yesterday of a historic agreement
10:11 between Ethiopia and Somaliland, giving access to Ethiopia to the Red Sea for its naval forces
10:18 in exchange for formal recognition of the Republic of Somaliland.
10:23 Mogadishu recalled its ambassador in Ethiopia and said it would defend its territory by
10:29 all legal means.
10:30 Somalia also described this agreement as a surprise, a blatant violation of its sovereignty.
10:36 This agreement came into force when Somalia and Somaliland agreed last week to resume
10:43 their negotiations to resolve the issues in suspense after years of political tension
10:49 and blockade.
10:50 The fight against terrorist armed groups in Mali will continue until the country is
10:57 completely pacified.
10:58 This is what President of the Transition, Colonel Asimwe Goita, said in a statement
11:04 to the Nation on New Year's Eve.
11:07 He said this justifies the Dugoo-Koloko operation whose sole objective is the redeployment
11:14 of the armed forces across the country following the withdrawal of the MINUSMA.
11:21 In the Democratic Republic of Congo, Felix Tsekedi was re-elected for five years as President
11:28 of the Republic.
11:29 During a one-time election, he thus obtained 73.34% of the votes.
11:34 His opponents denounce irregularities in the scrutiny.
11:37 The details with Shaima Fikri.
11:44 Re-elected as President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Felix Tsekedi won his elections
11:51 with 73.34% of the votes, according to an official score announced on Sunday in Kinshasa, after
11:58 a scrutiny described as a "vote simulation" by the opposition, which demanded the cancellation.
12:05 I would like to reassure you that this second mandate that you have just granted me will
12:12 be dedicated to more action for the materialization of these commitments and the explosion of these
12:20 initiatives with the aim of never betraying Congo, to love our Congo and the pressure
12:29 of seeing it transform thanks to the work of each Congolese and each Congolese.
12:36 According to the figures of the Electoral Commission, which will have to be confirmed by the Constitutional
12:41 Court to become definitive, Felix Tsekedi has been in power since January 2019, largely
12:46 ahead of his main challenger, the former governor of Kantaga, Moïse Katumbi, credited
12:52 with 18.08% of the votes.
12:54 According to the Senate, the participation rate in the elections of December 20 and 21
12:59 was 43% of the registered voters.
13:01 I am delighted with the re-election of our president, Felix Antoine Tsekedi Chilombo.
13:08 All Congolese are happy.
13:10 We will give him the chance for our country to develop.
13:14 For years we have never been happy with the presidency of Felix Tsekedi.
13:22 We have peace in our hearts and this is thanks to this son of the country.
13:26 More than 40 million voters, out of a total of about 100 million inhabitants of the huge
13:32 Central African country, were called to the polls to elect their president, but also their
13:37 national and provincial deputies and for the first time their local councillors.
13:42 The quadruple scrutin was scheduled for December 20, but due to numerous logistical problems,
13:47 it was extended to 21 by the Senate and was postponed for several days in some areas
13:52 until 27, according to a mission of observation of Catholic and Protestant churches.
13:57 Post-electoral tensions are feared in a country with a political history that is agitated
14:02 and often violent.
14:03 The authorities, which had banned a first protest meeting last Wednesday, claim that
14:08 all measures have been taken to prevent overflows, especially in the south-east minefield.
14:14 Moïse Katombi's electoral report.
14:17 In Niger, Prime Minister Ali Mrahman Al-Amin Zayn gave yesterday in Agadez the courier of
14:23 regional consultations in prelude to the inclusive national dialogue, especially on the duration
14:29 of the transition for the military to power since July 2023.
14:33 The head of the transition government assured Nigerian public television that the national
14:40 dialogue would begin very soon before the regional, most consensual and inclusive
14:46 discussions.
14:47 This time in Japan, the magnitude 7.6 earthquake that struck the center of the country yesterday
14:57 killed 48 people, according to a new provisional report by local authorities, as well as significant
15:03 material damage, while a tsunami arrived in the wake and remained of low magnitude.
15:08 This violent shock, clearly felt until Tokyo, had led to a tsunami on the coasts of the
15:15 sea of Japan, forcing many inhabitants to take refuge at the heights.
15:20 The waves remained, however, slightly elevated despite a maximum alert level initially issued
15:26 by the Japanese meteorological agency.
15:28 At least five people were killed today in a new massive bombing of Ukraine by Russia,
15:37 according to local authorities.
15:39 It should also be noted that Russia fired on Tuesday morning 99 missiles of various types
15:45 on Ukraine, of which 72 were shot down by the air defense, said the commander-in-chief
15:51 of the Ukrainian army, Valery Zaluzny.
15:54 And it's easy of course, we go to the side of Warsaw to talk of course about this Russian
16:02 attack and regarding that, the Polish army announced today that it had taken off its
16:08 F-16 fighters to monitor the border with Ukraine following massive Russian bombings in its
16:17 neighboring countries.
16:18 Last Friday, Poland, a member of NATO, had denounced a violation of its airspace by a
16:24 Russian cruise missile that flew over its territory for three minutes before heading
16:29 to Ukraine.
16:32 The Polish air defense system had then been put on alert and Polish civil and military
16:38 authorities had held emergency meetings, in particular with NATO representatives.
16:43 Ivory Coast is already vibrating at the pace of the 33rd Nations Cup.
16:50 A few days before the start of the competition, supporters of the countries participating
16:55 in the Cannes Olympics are getting ready to accompany their national team, just like
17:00 the Moroccan community of Ivory Coast, met by our correspondent Hippolyte Dier and
17:06 Oluwilekrim Mandia.
17:08 We are less than twenty days from the start of the 34th edition of the Africa Nations Cup
17:13 organized by Ivory Coast, a competition in which 24 African countries will take part.
17:19 While the technical staff of the teams are making the final adjustments to facilitate
17:23 the sporting campaign, the supporters are doing everything in their power to better
17:27 accompany their nation during the competition.
17:29 This is the case of members of the Moroccan community of Ivory Coast.
17:32 Ready to push the lions of the class to the final victory, this CEO of a company specializing
17:37 in aluminum cutlery, has mobilized fellow compatriots and collaborators during all
17:42 meetings of his selection.
17:44 We are going to arrange the company's schedules so that our staff and ourselves can
17:50 follow the marches live.
17:53 A device will be installed within the company to allow all our collaborators to follow
17:59 the Cannes in a Guettis climate.
18:03 In Tresvilles, a town located in the southern part of the Ivorian economic capital, we find
18:08 Moroccan-origin traders.
18:10 In the approach of this great sporting meeting, they offer the jerseys of the participating
18:14 countries to the clientele.
18:16 For them, the Cannes is a good stand that will allow all the talents of the qualified
18:20 countries to express themselves.
18:22 However, the trophy of the winner will return to Morocco.
18:25 In any case, for work, we work normally.
18:28 And then the match day, maybe the day we are not going to work just to support the team.
18:34 And then as you see, it's a little far, you have to travel, you have to go back.
18:38 Maybe there won't be work that day.
18:41 We're going to do it one day.
18:43 And then it ends with a good result.
18:48 Morocco must win this Cannes because I think it's the best team in Africa.
18:53 And he really did a very good World Cup.
18:57 They have very good players.
18:59 They have a great coach.
19:01 And Samer Giste, the king, he assists them to the end.
19:05 And they have all the assets to win this competition, if he wants to.
19:10 The next Nations Cup starts on January 13th.
19:14 Morocco, housed in Group F, will play its chicken matches in San Pedro, a city
19:18 located in the south-west of Ivory Coast, in the company of Tanzania, the Democratic Republic
19:22 of Congo and Zambia.
19:24 Since the unprecedented feat of the Lions of the Atlas at the 2022 World Cup,
19:29 there are many of his children on the tracks of the Hraf Hakemi band.
19:33 Issam Abari takes us into the football schools to follow the first steps of these
19:39 little grass footballers.
19:41 Younes Benzineb for the story.
19:43 Becoming a professional football player, a dream shared by many children.
19:49 In Casablanca, this field, built in the wake of the National Human Development Initiative,
19:55 functions as a training center.
19:58 The nuggets are supervised by experienced coaches.
20:02 L'Arbi L'Hababi is one of those trainers who hope to make this open-air school
20:07 a new reservoir of talent for Moroccan football.
20:10 Thanks to Providence, I marked my mark in the history of Moroccan football.
20:21 Subsequently, I opted for a coaching career.
20:27 I embarked on a delicate mission.
20:36 While professional clubs prioritize trained young people,
20:40 our school highlights the talents of the children
20:43 by helping them cultivate sports skills and passions.
20:49 The school translates the growing interest in the talents of young players.
20:57 Here, children can start playing from an early age
21:00 with early initiation programs.
21:04 We are honored to have among us in this school
21:08 for more than three years, figures of national football.
21:12 Like L'Arbi L'Hababi Mohamed Mounaim,
21:18 a former player of the club of Raja de Casablanca,
21:21 but also Hicham Taghir and Jamal Mounib.
21:24 These are former players who put their knowledge and experience
21:30 to the benefit of youth.
21:33 Through passionate training and dedicated mentors,
21:40 the school of Hayy Mohamedi,
21:42 one of the popular neighborhoods of the economic capital,
21:45 aspires to nurture future talents.
21:48 The pupils hope to one day join professional clubs,
21:51 or even proudly wear the colors of the national team.
21:57 This concludes this edition.
22:00 Thank you for watching.
22:02 See you next time.
