00:00 We are still together on Mediantv, thank you for remaining faithful to us.
00:16 Here are the headlines of your newspaper.
00:19 The Spanish Minister of the Interior on a visit to the Kingdom, Fernando Grande Marlaska,
00:24 met yesterday in Rabat with his Moroccan counterpart, Lafilleftit. We will talk about it in a moment.
00:32 106th day of war in Gaza, the Palestinian enclave is still bombed by Israel.
00:37 In the south, Khan Younes continues to be the target of Israeli strikes,
00:41 which have so far cost the lives of nearly 25,000 Palestinians.
00:48 The logical winner of Senegal, Cameroon, and the surprising green cape,
00:51 the Mozambique's Tomber, will be the winner of the 8th final of the Africa Cup.
00:59 For his first visit abroad after the new Spanish government was overthrown,
01:09 Fernando Grande Marlaska chose Morocco in an exclusive interview with MAP.
01:16 The Spanish Minister of the Interior said, "This choice is explained by the fraternal and primordial nature
01:22 of the existing relations between the two countries, cooperation relations,
01:26 which are resolutely based on mutual trust and absolute loyalty."
01:31 Fernando Grande Marlaska, who was received in Rabat yesterday by his Moroccan counterpart, Lafilleftit,
01:43 said, "From the security cooperation to the fight against illegal migration,
01:47 through the 2030 World War, several issues have been addressed by the two Spanish ministers."
01:53 The Moroccan-Spanish relations are consolidated by the visit of the Spanish Minister of the Interior to Morocco.
02:00 This morning, Fernando Grande Marlaska was welcomed by his Moroccan counterpart, Abdouafi Lafitte.
02:07 This visit aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation between Morocco and Spain.
02:13 The two parties have addressed several issues, but mainly the one of irregular immigration.
02:20 This first visit to Morocco, confirmed by a new legislature of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez,
02:27 underlines the importance of our relations, fraternal relations marked by the greatest trust.
02:32 We share common challenges on which we work together with great efficiency.
02:38 Security cooperation between the two kingdoms is at its peak.
02:46 To fight against irregular immigration, joint operations have been carried out recently
02:51 against drug trafficking networks and illegal immigration.
02:55 "The essential points that we have addressed are the fight against illegal immigration,
03:02 human trafficking and the importance of assisting people in danger.
03:06 These measures are accompanied by migratory policies that encourage legal and regular migration."
03:12 "The first is to save lives, and this is in line with policies..."
03:16 Fernando Grande Marlaska's visit addressed migratory issues,
03:20 but also the fight against terrorism, the development of Operation Passage du Détroit
03:26 and the collaboration in civil protection.
03:29 His visit to Morocco by the Spanish high representatives confirms the bilateral historical relations
03:35 between the Kingdom of Morocco and the Kingdom of Spain.
03:39 "Several African heads of state are taking part this Saturday in the inauguration ceremony
03:47 of the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix Ekedi, elected for a second term.
03:52 The King Mohammed VI is represented by the President of the Chamber of Representatives, Rashid Talbi Alami.
03:59 In the rest of the news, the head of Moroccan diplomacy, Nasser Bouhita,
04:04 represents His Majesty the King Mohammed VI at the Summit of Heads of State and Government
04:09 of the Non-Aligned Movement at the 3rd Summit of the G77 + China,
04:15 which will be held in Kampala, Uganda, until January 23, composed of 120 countries.
04:20 The Non-Aligned Movement is considered the second largest state gathering after the United Nations.
04:27 The G77 is a coalition of countries whose goal is to promote the economic interests of its members
04:34 in international economic negotiations.
04:38 Allegations raised by certain media and an official press agency of a neighboring country
04:46 claiming that there were arrests against Moroccan security officials are totally unfounded.
04:53 This is what the spokesman of the Cypriot Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Theodoros Ghotsis, said yesterday.
04:59 This is fake news.
05:01 No criminal case and no arrests have been made against the people
05:06 to whom the media are referring.
05:08 This is what he added in a press release, in particular entitled
05:17 "To the Moroccan security officials who are subject to an international mandate" published on January 6.
05:23 The press was based on false information related to a Moroccan spokesman
05:29 who was subject to a conviction by the Italian justice for fraud.
05:36 Let's go for the International Green Week in Berlin.
05:41 Morocco is represented by the Minister of Agriculture, Maritime Fishing,
05:46 Rural Development and Water and Forestry, Mohamed Sadiki,
05:50 who inaugurated yesterday the Moroccan pavilion,
05:53 accompanied by the German Minister of Agriculture and Food,
05:57 the ambassador of Morocco to Germany and several personalities.
06:02 The participation of Morocco in the Berlin Green Week aims to promote the food products of the Kingdom
06:09 but also to strengthen exports of these products and to explore new openings
06:15 for the Moroccan supply in the international circuit.
06:18 Back in the Kingdom, where the Ministry of Health and Social Protection
06:26 celebrated yesterday in its weekly bulletin, the total of 154 new cases of COVID-19 infection and 0 deaths.
06:33 The new cases of infection have been recorded in the regions of Rabat, Salé, and Kenitra, which have 66 cases.
06:40 Sousmassa, 27 cases, Grand Casablanca, Cetate, 22 cases.
06:44 17 cases have been registered in Fes-Meknes, Benimélal, Renifra, 7 cases, Dratafilalet, 7 cases as well.
06:52 Marrakech, Safi, 6 cases have been registered on site and 2 in Dahla, Wadahab.
07:01 We remain in the Kingdom, where the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services of the Rabat, Salé, and Kenitra region
07:08 organized yesterday a roundtable on the examination of new fiscal measures for the benefit of companies,
07:15 the opportunity for all concerned economic actors to deepen the debate and reflect
07:21 on the new fiscal measures concerning the 2024 Finance Act.
07:27 To learn more about this meeting, let's listen to Tris El Alawi.
07:31 He is an expert in strategic support for companies.
07:35 This conference was an opportunity to speak with the project leaders, with the Moroccan SMEs,
07:41 about the changes that have been raised at the level of the 2024 Finance Act,
07:46 as well as the challenges and opportunities for Moroccan companies, namely the SMEs,
07:52 to be able to support this movement of projects that are open to Morocco,
07:58 to try to explain to them why this is going to be very important.
08:03 Morocco will organize, of course, we are talking about the 2030 World Bank, we are talking about the 2025 CAN,
08:10 and especially the ability of Moroccan companies to have a competitive ability in relation to the opening in Africa,
08:19 in relation to the changes that have been brought in the 2024 Finance Act,
08:24 and especially in relation to all the changes in the VAT and, of course, the new rates,
08:30 and how the company can control the costs, and how the company can have this capacity
08:36 and these competitive advantages to be able to achieve significant turnover
08:42 and also to be able to optimize the costs, and thus, of course,
08:47 support the large projects that are open to Morocco, as I said,
08:51 to, of course, have significant economic growth and participate effectively in the economic fabric.
08:59 We know very well that the economic fabric, we are talking about more than 99% of SMEs,
09:06 and, of course, it should be emphasized here that the most important thing for us
09:11 is to explain to these companies that have their place in the Moroccan economy
09:16 and that it is very important to strengthen the SMEs, to strengthen the Moroccan economy,
09:21 and it is, of course, the effective participation in economic growth in our country.
09:28 On the 106th day of the war in Gaza, the Palestinian enclave is still bombed by Israel.
09:33 In the south, the eastern ranks continue to be the target of Israeli strikes.
09:37 Since the beginning of the war in Gaza, nearly 25,000 Palestinians have been killed,
09:42 a majority of women, teenagers and children.
09:45 The humanitarian situation remains critical in Gaza,
09:48 where about 80% of the population has been displaced by the fighting.
09:56 In this context, Joe Biden still believes in the prospect and the possibility of a Palestinian state,
10:02 but he recognizes that it will take a lot of work to achieve it.
10:06 This was stated yesterday by the spokesperson of the White House, John Kirby.
10:11 The American president mentioned, I remind you, his position with the Israeli Prime Minister,
10:16 Benjamin Netanyahu, who had rejected, I say, a recurring request from Joe Biden
10:21 on the coexistence in the future of the State of Israel with a Palestinian state.
10:26 In Senegal, after a study on the advance of the sea and the salinization of land in 12 coastal municipalities,
10:38 the NGO Enda Energies and its partners have proceeded to an evaluation of the study report
10:44 on the needs of financing the losses and damages due to climate change.
10:51 This Enda Energies and its partners' workshop aims to validate the study report
10:58 on the losses and damages due to climate change,
11:02 a way to assess the needs of financing in the small and large Senegalese coast.
11:08 We have had this partnership for a long time.
11:14 We started this work on the losses and damages by asking ourselves the question of what are the losses and damages we are talking about,
11:23 to ensure that, especially more than the losses and damages due to climate change,
11:29 are currently part of the ecosystem of climate negotiations.
11:35 Municipalities such as Bargny, Yenne, Joal Fadjout, Palmarin,
11:40 have carried out a study on the advance of the sea and salinization.
11:45 The results of this study reveal the worrying situation that communities are experiencing
11:50 in relation to the consequences of climate change.
11:53 What has been found is that the damage is enormous.
11:56 We have focused on the salinization of the land in the Saloum delta.
12:05 We have mapped more than 1,120 hectares of land that is currently unsuitable for agriculture.
12:12 We have also observed that the salinization of the NAPE this time
12:17 has been very slow, especially in the Gandon and Nyeben Ganyol communes.
12:27 When we talk about losses and damages, we are talking about negative impacts of climate change
12:33 that are difficult to resolve, that is, to repair, or that are possible to repair.
12:44 This is where there is a line of union between adaptation and losses and damages.
12:51 When we talk about damages, it is that repair and restoration are possible.
12:57 But when we talk about losses, when we lose something, it is that it is impossible.
13:03 In a workshop on sharing and validation of the results,
13:06 participatory assessment of needs,
13:09 initiatives are recommended to understand the challenges linked to losses and damages on a national scale.
13:17 The African football festival, the African Cup of Football Nations,
13:22 is being held in Ivory Coast after its large victory against Tanzania.
13:26 Morocco will play its second match in Group F tomorrow against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
13:31 This morning, it was the traditional press conference before the match
13:35 for the Moroccan national team, Walid Rehkraghi.
13:38 Max Roubi, our correspondent in Ivory Coast, attended.
13:42 He is live from Saint-Pétrois with us.
13:44 Hello, Max.
13:45 Hello, Pape.
13:49 What can we learn from the press conference of Walid Rehkraghi?
13:54 Pape, Lion d'Atlas' coach, didn't talk much during this press conference.
14:04 He was very brief. For him, it is necessary to win and move on to something else.
14:08 Win, that is, to win the ticket tomorrow,
14:11 by beating the Democratic Republic of Congo,
14:14 and to win the three points, to have a total of six points,
14:18 and to move on to the round of 16.
14:20 What we must understand is that the coach, he quickly underlined this,
14:26 that the status of the favourites,
14:28 that the international footballers have taken over,
14:32 coach Walid Rehkraghi doesn't want that.
14:34 He says that this status puts a lot of pressure on the national team,
14:38 and that they are hesitating at some point, because they are expected too much.
14:43 Morocco is very much expected in this competition.
14:47 Max Roubi, can you tell us about the programme and the issues of this day?
14:57 Today, we have three matches on the counter.
15:01 We have three matches on the card, in particular Algeria and Burkina.
15:05 For Burkina, it is imperative to win to qualify for the round of 16.
15:11 It is important for the men of Burkina to win their first match,
15:18 and it is important for them to win their ticket by beating Algeria,
15:22 today, at the cost of 14-1 to the GMT.
15:25 We have the second match, Mauritania and Angola,
15:29 which will be played at 5.00 pm GMT.
15:33 Mauritania has zero points.
15:36 Angola has failed to beat Algeria a few days ago.
15:42 This is a major challenge for Angola.
15:44 Mauritania will have to win to ensure their destiny,
15:50 while waiting to face the Burkina Faso talents for the last day of this phase.
15:58 Now, we will have a decisive match at 8.00 pm.
16:02 It is Tunisia and Mali.
16:05 The Mali Eagles have their destiny in their hands.
16:09 They came out victorious in a match against South Africa a few days ago.
16:13 Three goals to zero.
16:15 Tunisia will have to win to get their ticket to the final of the 34th edition of the Coupe d'Afrique in Côte d'Ivoire.
16:24 Max Oubi, thank you for your answers.
16:29 Thank you, Pape.
16:34 A few moments ago, after their win against Tanzania,
16:40 the Lions will be preparing for the match against the Leopards of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
16:47 They will have to face the opposition, but also the climatic conditions of San Pedro in Côte d'Ivoire.
16:55 Fadel Hanawi, from Median Radio, will tell us more.
16:58 Far from any media coverage, the Moroccan team continues to prepare for their next match,
17:06 which is scheduled for Sunday at the Stade Laurent-Poko, against the Republic of Congo.
17:11 The Lions will have their last training session this afternoon at the Stade Auguste de Nice,
17:17 with all the players, except Nosair Al-Mhzraoui, who is still in the process of recovery.
17:23 He may only be available if Morocco reaches the round of 16.
17:28 This session will last only one hour.
17:31 It was scheduled for 2pm, which is the time of the match against the Leopards of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
17:39 The coaching staff wanted to put the players in the right conditions,
17:46 with a high level of humidity and high temperatures.
17:51 These are conditions that need to be taken into account,
17:54 and that can influence the final result of the next match.
17:59 But the coaching staff seems confident that they can overcome this natural handicap.
18:05 The Senegalese team, who are in the lead,
18:10 scored their ticket for the round of 16 of the competition.
18:16 A true champion, the Lions of the Teranga, dominated the expected clash in Group C,
18:22 with their rival Cameroon, scoring 3-1.
18:26 The Senegalese team scored their 16th minute goal,
18:30 and then Habib Diallo scored his second,
18:33 before Sadio Mane buried the Cameroon hopes,
18:36 who had just scored their 83rd minute goal.
18:42 With two wins in so many matches,
18:48 Senegal secured their place in the round of 16,
18:53 and joined the Cape Verde, the first team to qualify after their successful 3-0 win over Mozambique.
19:00 In this unique match, we will remember the sumptuous 40-metre cross from Bebe,
19:06 without a doubt one of the best goals of this tournament.
19:10 The Cape Verde is the surprise team of this match,
19:14 as explained by our correspondent in Ivory Coast, Max Aoubi.
19:19 We didn't expect this team to come.
19:23 The Cape Verde's Blue Sharks beat the Ghanaian Black Stars 5 days ago,
19:28 with a 2-1 score at the end of the second period.
19:33 The Mozambique team is currently in a very bad position,
19:40 and the Cape Verde has just confirmed its place as a leader,
19:45 to avoid a well-placed team for the round of 16.
19:49 This win against Mozambique
19:52 will ensure the place of a leader in this group,
19:57 which has already been promoted, but has been well-favoured by the Cape Verde.
20:01 The Cape Verde will face a less well-placed team
20:05 after this first round of the Nations Cup.
20:09 The group C is back, where Guinea has been a failure for a long time,
20:15 and has come to an end thanks to a goal by Agibu Kamara
20:19 against a Caviar by the French Morgane Guilavogui.
20:22 The national team, who were caught by Cameroon for their entrance,
20:26 have made a good start in the qualification for the direct elimination phase.
20:35 The African Football Confederation has suspended Adel Amrouch for eight games,
20:39 the former selection of the Algerian team.
20:44 He was also suspended by Tanzania.
20:47 He has made unfounded accusations against the Royal Moroccan Football Federation
20:53 before the game against Tanzania.
20:55 He has been criticised by the Tanzanian Federation,
20:59 who has appointed Hamed Suleiman as interim coach.
21:04 Back in the Kingdom, where the epic documentary
21:08 recreates the exceptional performance of the Lions of Atlas in the Qatar World Cup.
21:14 The release of the film coincides with the launch of the NIA Maribia virtual museum.
21:20 Explanations with Noa Bazir.
21:23 Malhama, or epic, a documentary on the rise of Moroccan football.
21:30 For its premiere, organized in Rabat in the 7th Art Space,
21:34 this documentary has brought together many personalities from the world of sport and cinema.
21:39 Epic, it is above all a documentary that traces the historical exploits of the Lions of Atlas
21:45 during the World Cup 2022 of football.
21:48 The performance of Morocco in the World Cup inspired us to make this documentary.
21:56 Nearly twenty personalities participated.
22:00 We must count players still active, former players, some international players,
22:05 artists and also influencers who went to Qatar.
22:09 The release of this film coincides with the launch of the Africa Cup of Nations.
22:13 We hope that our national team will make us proud too.
22:21 Through this documentary, we have tried to immortalize the exploits of the Lions of Atlas in the World Cup.
22:26 We have dealt with football through other aspects.
22:29 How this event can inspire the youth and future generations.
22:33 Thanks to the motivation, the will and the pursuit of these dreams,
22:37 we can accomplish historical feats and even compete with the largest nations.
22:46 Throughout the World Cup 2022, the expression "Nia" has become an immortal slogan
22:51 that recalls the exceptional journey of the Lions of Atlas to the World Cup.
22:55 This slogan was taken up by the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication
23:00 for the launch of a virtual museum paying homage to the Moroccan team and called "Nia Marribia".
23:07 This platform aims to share various information about national football for all Moroccans in the world.
23:15 The documentary includes extracts from royal discourses related to football
23:20 and the highlights made by national, female and male football teams.
23:25 Through the enlightened vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
23:32 many initiatives have been put in place to encourage Moroccan football.
23:36 Thanks to the platform "Nia Marribia", the Moroccan people can remember the moments of joy and pride
23:42 provided by the journey of Morocco during the World Cup 2022.
23:46 The historical victories of the Moroccan team have been immortalized in the epic documentary
23:52 which is also used today as an archive on the exploits of the Lions of Atlas.
23:57 That's it for this edition, thank you for watching.
