00:12 You are on Mediain TV, welcome to this edition. Here are the titles.
00:17 Ramadan 2024 in Morocco, the sacred month of the year 1445,
00:22 the Egyptian calendar, begins on Tuesday.
00:24 Muslims from Europe and many other countries have started their fast today.
00:30 The population of Gaza experienced its first day of Ramadan on Monday
00:35 in a territory bombed by the Israeli army
00:39 and affected by famine without any sign of a break in the war between Israel and Hamas
00:44 which could facilitate the entry of vital humanitarian aid.
00:50 In football, Real Madrid's midfielder Brahim Diaz,
00:55 who has the Spanish and Moroccan double nationality,
00:58 has chosen to evolve with the selection of Morocco.
01:02 The 24-year-old will wear the Lions of Atlas jersey.
01:07 In Morocco, the Ministry of Habeas and Islamic Affairs
01:13 has announced that the sacred month of Ramadan in the year 1445
01:18 will begin on Tuesday, March 12.
01:21 Ramadan began on Monday in Saudi Arabia,
01:24 Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Palestine, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria.
01:34 Muslims from Europe also started their fast on Monday, the sacred month.
01:39 The Muslim cult management agencies in France, Germany, Belgium, the United Kingdom,
01:45 Spain and Portugal have stated that the first day of Ramadan corresponds to this Monday, March 11.
01:52 Ramadan began in several countries around the world.
01:57 Muslim populations are preparing for this sacred month
02:01 in a context of global economic crisis and conflict in the Middle East.
02:06 The developments of Sheyma Fekri.
02:08 A spiritual atmosphere reigns in the world.
02:13 Awaited all year by the Muslim community,
02:16 the sacred month of Ramadan began on Monday in several countries.
02:21 Saudi Arabia, the Palestinian territories, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria and Kenya.
02:30 All started their first day of fasting.
02:33 This blessed month, which constitutes one of the five pillars of Islam,
02:36 begins on the same day in France,
02:38 the country that has the largest Muslim community in Europe,
02:42 namely between 5 and 6 million people.
02:45 On their side, Iran, Oman, Libya, Jordan and Morocco,
02:48 set their start on Tuesday.
02:50 Two different dates but one atmosphere in the four corners of the globe.
02:55 Ramadan is intrinsically associated with the sublime and transcendent virtues of spirituality
03:00 that Muslims work to embody in order to conform to the sunnah of the Prophet
03:05 and to get closer to the Creator.
03:08 On this sacred month, the media devoted a large portion of their programming
03:12 to the broadcasters addressing the needs of fasting,
03:15 its health benefits, as well as the traditions and gastronomic habits
03:19 that each nation has preserved over the generations.
03:22 For many, the prayer of the "Tjaraoui" is without a doubt,
03:26 with the break of fasting, the strongest moment of the Ramadan-like days.
03:32 Near the East, Ramadan has begun today in the Gaza Strip,
03:36 besieged and devastated, without a trace of hope,
03:39 in the war between Israel and Hamas,
03:42 while the international community is multiplying efforts
03:45 to help the population hit by famine.
03:49 Meanwhile, a Spanish NGO vessel, Open Arms,
03:53 loaded with 200 tons of food, is ready to leave Cyprus,
03:57 the nearest country of origin to Gaza,
04:00 for the Palestinian territory, in the context of a maritime corridor
04:04 announced by the European Union.
04:07 For now, the international aid controlled by Israel
04:10 only enters the "drop account" in the Gaza Strip.
04:13 The Palestinian Ministry of Health has today announced
04:19 a new report of 31,112 people killed in the Gaza Strip
04:24 since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas.
04:28 We will now hear from our correspondent Valérie Ferrand.
04:34 It is a month of Ramadan in 2024,
04:38 which begins, as we suspect, in total anger and despair
04:42 in the Gaza Strip,
04:44 facing a world that has been left to the Israeli bombs
04:48 for six months and is now in famine.
04:51 But it is from the Gaza Strip that also come messages of endurance
04:55 facing unprecedented ordeals,
04:58 which 2,200,000 men, women and children are undergoing,
05:01 with for example thousands of people who gather to pray
05:05 on the site of the hundreds of mosques that have been destroyed.
05:09 Children, we know, pay a very high price for this total Israeli war.
05:14 More than 12,000 children are killed, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health,
05:19 while more than 8,000 bodies of people killed are still stuck under the rubble.
05:24 There is also a majority of children among the 72,000 injured.
05:28 At least 18 children have been reported as starving and thirsty
05:34 in recent days, while famine is raging,
05:37 especially in the northern region of the Gaza Strip.
05:41 Israel, which still has control of the humanitarian aid,
05:45 continues to let the convoys through to the Goutte and especially to the northern region.
05:51 Note that the elderly are also very affected by the lack of food,
05:56 drinking water and medication.
05:58 In the rest of the Holy Land, the Palestinians of Israel and of Northern Jordan
06:01 have of course placed this month of Ramadan under the sign of solidarity with the Gaza Strip.
06:06 There is no street decoration and very little in most houses,
06:11 especially in Jerusalem, where the atmosphere is particularly tense.
06:15 The Israeli occupation forces,
06:17 who yesterday evening reinforced the already drastic measures
06:21 to prevent the faithful from accessing the mosques,
06:25 have hit people.
06:27 In the Holy City, as in the rest of the occupied Northern Jordan,
06:31 commercial activities are reduced to a minimum,
06:34 which further accentuates the serious economic crisis
06:38 that has been raging since October 7th,
06:41 more particularly due to the military squadron
06:45 which seriously obstructs all movements
06:48 and in the absence of pilgrims and tourists.
06:52 The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres,
06:56 pleaded on Monday in New York in favor of peace in Gaza and Sudan.
07:01 In Gaza, Sudan and beyond, their state of peace,
07:04 the UN chief stressed during a briefing on the occasion of the advent of Ramadan.
07:10 He called for honoring the spirit of the holy month by putting down arms
07:14 and by lifting all obstacles to guarantee the passage of vital help
07:19 at the required speed and on a massive scale.
07:23 Let's go to Portugal, where the opposition of the centre-right
07:29 won, according to partial results, a very short victory in yesterday's legislative session
07:34 in front of the socialists in power for eight years.
07:37 Three months after the European elections,
07:39 this scrutiny, precipitated by the resignation of the outgoing Prime Minister,
07:43 the latest statistics confirm that the far-right is making progress
07:47 across the old continent, as the Italian voters or Dutch voters had already shown,
07:52 while only the four seats of the Foreign Presidency had not yet been allocated.
07:57 The democratic alliance of the centre-right, of Luis Montenegro,
08:01 had won 29.49% of the votes and 79 deputies, out of a total of 230.
08:12 Presidential in Senegal, the electoral campaign began on Saturday
08:16 for a period of two weeks, with the aim of electing its president
08:19 to succeed the outgoing head of state, Macky Sall.
08:23 The 19 candidates held by the Constitutional Council
08:26 had already begun to decline their programs.
08:30 After weeks of crisis due to the delay in the presidential election
08:34 initially scheduled for February 25,
08:37 the Constitutional Council and Macky Sall set the date for March 24
08:42 for the first round of the scrutiny.
08:45 In Morocco, the first details of the country's offer of green hydrogen
08:53 are revealed in the application of the Royal High Directives.
08:57 The head of government issued a circular on Monday
09:00 of the implementation of the offer to Morocco.
09:02 This new step is underway in the application of the Royal High Directives
09:06 given during the work session presided over by the Sovereign
09:09 on 22 November 2022,
09:12 and the Royal High Directives contained in the Sovereign's speech
09:16 on the occasion of the 24th anniversary of the Feast of the Throne
09:20 on 29 July 2023.
09:23 Details of this offer with Younes Benzineb.
09:26 The ambitious Royal site, aiming at the development of the green hydrogen sector,
09:33 has crossed a new stage.
09:35 The government has issued the circular on the implementation of the offer to Morocco.
09:39 This is an operational and incentive offer
09:42 covering the entire value chain of the sector.
09:45 According to the executive's chief,
09:47 the offer is adapted to the needs of investors
09:50 and allows to position the kingdom as a competitive player
09:54 on this highly potential sector.
09:56 To ensure the success of this operation,
09:59 the circular of the head of government specifies the operational steps.
10:03 First, an application field of the offer to Morocco,
10:06 a mobilised fund for its implementation.
10:09 In this sense, the State has already identified a significant public fund
10:13 of the order of one million hectares,
10:15 in addition to the infrastructure necessary for the development of the sector
10:19 and the incentive measures.
10:21 By relying on good governance,
10:23 the offer to Morocco also includes a process of selecting investors
10:27 and of contractualisation with the State.
10:30 This offer applies to the integrated project of the MOU
10:33 since the generation of electricity
10:35 from renewable energy and electrolysis
10:38 to the downstream with the transformation of green hydrogen
10:41 into ammonia, methanol, synthetic fuel, etc.
10:45 The offer to Morocco is addressed to investors
10:48 at the consortium wanting to produce green hydrogen
10:51 and its derivatives, addressing the domestic market,
10:54 export or both at the same time,
10:56 while nearly a hundred national and international investors
10:59 have already expressed their interest.
11:02 The idea, according to the executive,
11:04 is that green hydrogen will constitute a crucial energy vector
11:08 and a turning point for the Moroccan economy
11:11 in the face of economic, social, environmental and technological challenges.
11:15 The field of the Real Madrid,
11:19 Brahim Diaz, who has the Spanish and Moroccan dual nationality,
11:23 has chosen to evolve with the selection of Morocco.
11:26 The 24-year-old player, born in Malaga,
11:29 of a Spanish mother and a father of Moroccan origin,
11:32 will wear the Lions d'Atlas jersey.
11:35 The sports journalist Marca wrote that Morocco
11:38 has been very involved with Brahim,
11:40 which Spain has not done.
11:42 After a long hesitation,
11:47 Brahim Diaz of Spanish and Moroccan nationality
11:50 has stopped his choice for his sporting nationality.
11:54 The 24-year-old player responded positively
11:57 to the invitation of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation
12:00 by joining the Moroccan national team.
12:03 Sheyma Fekri tells us more.
12:05 End of a long file.
12:09 At 24 years old, Brahim Diaz raised the suspense
12:12 about his choice between the Lions d'Atlas and the Roja.
12:15 It was finally the Lions d'Atlas who won the bet.
12:19 The Real Madrid nugget was born on August 3, 1999 in Malaga.
12:23 From a Spanish mother and a Moroccan father
12:25 from Mlilia.
12:27 Brahim Diaz thus has a double nationality.
12:30 The footballer is the eldest of a brotherhood of five children.
12:33 He is the big brother of four little sisters.
12:35 At the age of 7, Diaz joined the Malaga training center.
12:39 Excellent dribbler and fast.
12:41 Manchester City and Barça want to sign him
12:43 when he is only 14 years old.
12:45 It is finally Manchester that he will join
12:47 to stay there for 3 seasons
12:49 before signing his first professional contract in 2016,
12:52 at the age of 17.
12:53 But during his three seasons at City,
12:55 he only plays 15 matches and scores two goals.
12:57 He leaves the club, however, with two England cups,
13:00 a Super Cup of England and the prestigious trophy
13:03 of the Premier League.
13:04 He then signs with the Madrid team in 2019.
13:07 After three years spent in the form of a loan to AC Milan,
13:10 he returns to Real Madrid under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti
13:14 and plays the preseason 2023-2024
13:17 with friends against AC Milan,
13:19 Manchester City, FC Barcelona and Juventus FC.
13:22 Back in 2021,
13:24 Obrahim Diaz only played one professional match with La Roja,
13:27 a match that was not a friendly one.
13:29 FIFA regulations therefore allow him to play for another nation
13:33 to which he is eligible,
13:35 under the Moroccan colours and wearing number 10.
13:37 The Real Madrid's nugget will now be able to participate
13:40 in the Afrikaner Nations Cup 2025,
13:42 which will take place in Morocco,
13:44 as well as the World Cup 2030,
13:46 which the Kingdom organizes jointly with Spain.
13:48 and Portugal.
13:50 We are live from Casablanca with Oumey Marafai,
13:56 a sports journalist for the electronic newspaper Le 360.ma.
14:01 Good evening and thank you for taking the time to answer our questions.
14:05 First of all, what are the reasons that made Obrahim Diaz's heart
14:09 lean towards the Moroccan team
14:12 rather than the Spanish team, in your opinion?
14:17 Good evening and thank you for the invitation.
14:19 It's good news to have a player of Obrahim Diaz's weight,
14:24 a player who is increasingly being challenged at Real Madrid,
14:27 which is perhaps the biggest club in history.
14:31 Obrahim Diaz is a talented player,
14:34 who has played in AC Milan,
14:36 Manchester City,
14:38 the highest level of the European top five.
14:41 Obrahim Diaz is only 24 years old,
14:43 he has a whole life ahead of him
14:45 and he can very clearly show this with the national team.
14:49 I think his arrival may be at the most opportune time
14:53 after what happened in San Pedro,
14:55 the disappointment of the 2023 Cannes.
14:57 The fact of attracting a player of this weight,
15:00 such an important player,
15:02 is excellent news and proves, of course,
15:05 all the work provided by the Moroccan Royal Football Federation,
15:08 with Sifu Zefria at its head
15:10 and the national team, Wanyida Gag.
15:13 The Moroccan Royal Football Federation
15:16 seems to have done a considerable amount of work
15:18 to allow this arrival.
15:20 What do you think?
15:22 Yes, of course, it's a colossal amount of work.
15:27 There have been many meetings,
15:29 many exchanges,
15:31 many phone calls between the two parties.
15:34 President Sifu Zefria is very involved
15:37 in carrying out this very ambitious project,
15:40 the Lions of the Atlas.
15:42 The project will be built around a player like Brahim Diaz,
15:46 a very important player, very young,
15:48 I mentioned his age, 24 years old,
15:50 who will be able to prove himself
15:52 during the 2025 Africa Nations Cup
15:54 that we are organising here in the country,
15:56 during the 2030 World Cup
15:58 that we are also organising with Spain,
16:00 with Spain and Portugal,
16:02 and who may be able to prove himself
16:04 this summer at the IOC,
16:06 because three players over 23 years old
16:08 have been awarded FIFA
16:10 and have participated in the French Olympic Games.
16:13 So, Brahim Diaz will certainly have the opportunity
16:16 to prove himself,
16:18 and it's a very big victory
16:20 for the Moroccan Football Federation.
16:22 So, Brahim Diaz joins several of his compatriots
16:25 who have evolved in Europe,
16:27 having made the choice to come to Morocco.
16:29 What does this say about Moroccan football today?
16:32 Listen, I think that Moroccan football
16:35 has totally changed dimensions.
16:37 After the unforgettable semi-final of the Qatar World Cup,
16:41 I think that many things have changed.
16:43 More and more international players
16:45 no longer hesitate at all
16:47 when it comes to representing their country of origin,
16:49 the country of origin of their parents.
16:51 Morocco is very popular.
16:54 The Lions of the Atlas are very popular
16:57 internationally.
16:59 I think that Brahim Diaz,
17:01 who had the opportunity to represent a country like Spain,
17:04 is a very big football nation at the European and global level.
17:07 The fact that they chose Morocco deliberately,
17:10 the fact that media like Marca,
17:12 you mentioned it,
17:14 say that they made the choice,
17:16 it's a defeat for Spain,
17:18 it's Morocco that wins.
17:19 So, I think it's very important.
17:21 Morocco has a considerable weight
17:24 at the African level,
17:26 with all the cooperation that it signs
17:28 with the member federations of the CAF,
17:31 but also at the international level.
17:33 And that's what proves that
17:35 Brahim Diaz chose to wear the national team jersey.
17:38 Thank you for your insight,
17:40 Oumeyma Rafai, sports journalist,
17:43 at the journal electronique le360.ma.
17:47 Thank you.
17:48 In the rest of the news,
17:55 let's talk about the 7th Art.
17:57 Oppenheimer won yesterday
17:59 the Oscar for Best Film,
18:01 and six other statuettes
18:03 would have received criticism
18:05 and an impeccable casting.
18:07 The portrait of the father of the atomic bomb,
18:09 brushed by Christopher Nolan,
18:11 largely dominated the evening.
18:14 Cillian Murphy,
18:15 masterful in the role of Robert Oppenheimer,
18:18 nuclear genius,
18:19 full of contradictions and doubts,
18:21 won him the Oscar for Best Actor.
18:25 It's the end of this edition.
18:27 Thank you for watching.
