02:32 The Israeli army claimed to have killed 20 Palestinian fighters on Monday and arrested dozens more during a large operation
02:42 against the largest hospital complex in the Gaza Strip. The army called on civilians to evacuate,
02:48 while, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, tens of thousands of people are in the complex,
02:54 where people displaced by the war live.
02:59 Shortly before dawn, the Israeli army announced in a statement an operation on the hospital in Shifa, Gaza City.
03:09 An announcement confirmed by witnesses on site, who are part of the press of the aerial operations on the Adrimal neighborhood,
03:16 where the hospital is located, the largest in the Gaza Strip, in which shrapnel would have fallen.
03:21 Residents of the neighborhood, according to them, claimed that more than 45 tanks and armored vehicles of Israeli troops were entered in Adrimal.
03:30 The Ministry of Health of Gaza indicated that tens of thousands of people were in the hospital.
03:36 According to a message posted on the social network "X" of a spokesman, the Israeli army asked the civilian population on Monday
03:43 to evacuate immediately the area of the hospital in Shifa, Gaza City, where fights began on Monday morning.
03:50 The Israeli army addressed on its side, by the speakers to the inhabitants, asking them to stay at home,
03:56 while drones fire on people in the streets near the hospital.
04:00 Since October 7, the Israeli army has conducted operations in several hospitals in the Palestinian territory,
04:06 accusing Hamas of serving health institutions as command centers.
04:11 This human massacre took place while famine spread on the Gaza Strip.
04:15 According to the UN, without urgent measures, famine will spread in the north by May,
04:20 since one in two people suffers from a catastrophic food situation.
04:24 Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured on Sunday that Palestinians in Rafah would be evacuated,
04:33 above all, military operations against this city south of the Gaza Strip,
04:38 while reaffirming his determination to launch a terrestrial offensive in Rafah, the last bastion of Hamas, according to Israel.
04:45 Benjamin Netanyahu assured that such an operation would not be carried out by leaving the population locked up.
04:51 But the international community fears the prospect of such an assault.
04:55 The pressure comes mainly from the United States, Israel's main allies,
04:59 who repeat their opposition to any offensive in Rafah that would endanger the civilians who are refugees.
05:07 Joe Biden believes that a major terrestrial offensive by the Israeli army in Rafah would be a mistake,
05:13 and he has obtained the visit to Washington from an Israeli delegation to talk about it.
05:18 This is what his National Security Advisor said on Monday.
05:22 The American president told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
05:26 to be deeply concerned about this, according to Jack Sullivan.
05:30 "A large-scale military operation against Rafah, at the border with Egypt, would lead to more innocent victims,
05:37 aggravate the already serious humanitarian situation, strengthen the anarchy in Gaza,
05:43 and isolate Israel even more," the advisor said.
05:47 The Gaza Strip is now an open-air cemetery, after being an open-air prison,
05:57 according to the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell.
06:01 Shortly before the start of a meeting of the EU's foreign ministers,
06:05 Josep Borrell said that we were facing a famine that affected thousands of people.
06:10 Yet he pointed out hundreds of trucks carrying food and humanitarian aid for months,
06:17 waiting in vain to enter the Gaza Strip, because it was authorized by Israeli authorities.
06:24 More than five months after the start of the war,
06:28 UN special agencies warned of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
06:33 According to the World Food Programme,
06:36 to meet basic food needs, at least 300 trucks would have to enter Gaza per day,
06:42 particularly in the north, where only nine aid convoys have been able to be sent since the start of the war.
06:49 This is the latest report on food insecurity.
06:54 The latest report on food insecurity is that the Gaza Strip is now a food-suffering zone.
07:00 The Gaza Strip is now a food-suffering zone.
07:04 The Gaza Strip is now a food-suffering zone.
07:08 The Gaza Strip is now a food-suffering zone.
07:12 The Gaza Strip is now a food-suffering zone.
07:16 The latest report on food insecurity in Gaza
07:21 is a frightening observation of the living conditions of civilians on the ground.
07:27 More than half of the population, 1.1 million Palestinians,
07:34 have exhausted their food reserves and are exposed to a catastrophic famine.
07:40 This is the largest number of people facing a catastrophic famine
07:46 ever recorded by the Food Security Ranking System.
07:51 In the north, one in three children suffer from malnutrition,
07:57 according to the World Food Programme.
08:00 Malnutrition among children under five years of age is progressing at a record rate.
08:05 A report by the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees
08:09 has shown that hunger in the Gaza Strip never ceases to be a threat.
08:14 A report by the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees
08:19 has shown that hunger in the Gaza Strip never ceases to be a threat.
08:26 Malnutrition among children under two years of age has doubled in a month.
08:32 The international community must intensify and strengthen its response to this crisis.
08:39 In Gaza, we are no longer on the brink of famine.
08:43 We are facing a famine that affects thousands of people,
08:46 supported by the head of European diplomacy.
08:49 In a speech at a European Humanitarian Aid Forum,
08:53 Joseph Borrell said that after being a prison in the open,
08:57 the Gaza Strip is now an open-air cemetery.
09:00 Moscow congratulated Vladimir Putin on his victory on Monday.
09:05 Moscow congratulated Vladimir Putin on his victory on Monday.
09:10 The Russian president has been in power for nearly a quarter of a century.
09:15 He has gained 87.28% of the votes on all the suffrages in Russia,
09:20 10 points more than in 2018.
09:23 Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov applauded the exceptional result
09:28 and confirmed the support of the Russian people for his president.
09:32 The Russian president celebrated his victory on Sunday evening
09:36 by portraying a consolidated Russia that will not be intimidated by the West.
09:42 Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan congratulated his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin
09:51 on his re-election and offered his mediation with Ukraine again
09:56 During a phone call, President Erdogan estimated that the positive evolution
10:01 of relations between Turkey and Russia would continue
10:05 and declared that Turkey was ready to play a role of facilitator
10:09 to bring it to the negotiating table with Ukraine.
10:14 The Portuguese far-right party leader, who has made strong progress
10:21 in the legislative process of March 10, reaffirmed on Monday his desire
10:26 to conclude a government agreement with the moderate right,
10:29 which won the justice scrutiny.
10:32 Just after his victory, the president of the Social Democratic Party,
10:36 Luis Montenegro, had said he wanted to form a minority government
10:40 reiterating his refusal to govern with the support of the far-right.
10:44 Luis Montenegro did not reach the threshold of 116 deputies required
10:49 to have the absolute majority, even by allying with the liberal initiative
10:54 formation, which obtained 5% of the votes and 8 elected.
10:59 Place to our special file on the presidential election in Senegal.
11:15 The Economic Community of the States of West Africa, the CDAO,
11:20 will deploy a mission of electoral observation in Senegal of 130 members,
11:24 led by the former U.N. Under-Secretary General, the Nigerian Ibrahim Akbola Gambari.
11:31 The CDAO's commission declares to follow the evolution of the political situation in Senegal
11:36 by congratulating itself, in particular, on the promulgation of an amnesty law
11:41 in the country that is about to elect, on March 24, a president of the Republic
11:46 in replacement of Maki Sall.
11:48 A few days after the presidential election, the journalists are called to play
11:55 the role of guardians of democratic integrity.
11:59 In order to protect the journalists on the ground, several press agencies
12:03 have implemented support mechanisms.
12:07 We will go into more detail in this report by Regis Moukila and Sannou Sissane.
12:12 The coverage of the presidential election on March 24 occupies a central place
12:16 in Senegalese news. The media mobilized their teams on the ground
12:20 from the beginning of the electoral campaign.
12:24 In a statement, the Council for the Observation of Ethics and Deontology Rules
12:29 called on the press to ensure a fair treatment of the 19 candidates in Lys.
12:34 The media must have in mind the concern to be as equitable as possible
12:39 and to be as balanced as possible in the way of covering.
12:43 Because it is a moment when people are flowing
12:47 and we can try to favor one candidate over another.
12:51 It is true, we have 19 candidates, it is a first, it is not easy,
12:55 but through this communique, we want to remind them that even with these 19 candidates,
13:00 for two weeks of campaign, we can get a bigger number.
13:04 The Senegalese media landscape has been shaken by numerous demonstrations
13:09 linked to the organization of the presidential election,
13:13 which led to the arrest of several journalists.
13:16 This was an opportunity for the CORED to plead in favor of a free press
13:19 with the political authorities.
13:22 We came out of a fairly tense period of three years for the press in general.
13:26 We wanted to talk to the different major political states through this campaign
13:31 to make them understand that a democracy only makes sense when there is a free press.
13:36 And this press, in order to be free, we have to let it do its job.
13:40 During the various phases of the electoral process,
13:43 journalists are sometimes the target of the anger of certain supporters.
13:47 In this context, the Convention of Young Reporters,
13:50 in collaboration with Reporters Without Borders,
13:52 provided journalists with various equipment.
13:55 It was important for us, beyond the national press card,
13:58 which is governed by the law, to provide journalists,
14:01 and young reporters in particular, with a press vest
14:05 with the press name clearly visible so that it is identifiable.
14:10 For the kit, as I said earlier, it is a fairly tense and unusual situation,
14:14 with a lot of violence, there were a lot of interdictions.
14:17 We saw that many journalists were taken apart,
14:19 either by the security forces,
14:21 or by the activists of the various political protagonists.
14:25 So it was important to give them a tool that would allow them,
14:28 in the event of a slight injury, to be able to heal themselves
14:33 while waiting for the first aid.
14:35 In anticipation of the presidential election coverage on March 24,
14:39 which will see the election of a new head of state,
14:42 it is recommended to the media professionals to use their national press card.
14:46 To date, nearly 1,000 cards have already been delivered.
14:50 This concludes our special report on the presidential election in Senegal.
14:56 Two weeks after the launch of the new bus service in Casablanca,
15:08 named Busway, we wanted to know if the users were satisfied
15:13 with this new means of transport.
15:15 You can see this report by Aissama Baré with Swel Jalil for the story.
15:20 In Casablanca, the Busway is frequented by an average of 23,000 passengers a day.
15:26 The wind of change is blowing over the metropolis,
15:29 with the introduction of the bus at a high level of service,
15:32 and the results are already impressive.
15:34 Since its inauguration on March 1,
15:37 the Casablanca residents have quickly adopted this new mode of transport,
15:41 which is of great interest to their efficiency and practicality.
15:45 Before, we took the bus, but it was very slow.
15:51 The Busway is faster and more comfortable. Thank God.
15:54 From the first day, more than 15,000 passengers have taken the Busway,
16:02 marking a promising start.
16:05 This service is constantly gaining popularity,
16:08 and this trend should continue in the days and weeks to come.
16:12 The figures are promising, with nearly 23,000 passengers on March 14.
16:23 People are taking the route Ouled Azou, Rahmat Ouelmes,
16:26 and also the route Selmiyat Omar Khayyam.
16:28 The route Selmiyat Omar Khayyam takes about 39 minutes.
16:31 The citizens are delighted,
16:33 with the waiting time not exceeding five minutes.
16:36 It is essential to remember that the bus at the service level
16:41 was launched in Casablanca with a fleet of 40 vehicles,
16:44 serving 42 stations in total,
16:46 including also three corresponding stations.
16:49 The bus is a very fast and reliable transport.

17:28 In the western region, north of Morocco,
17:31 a wave of heat has been in Seville after major rainfall.
17:34 A situation that does not seem to worry farmers.
17:37 On the contrary, some of them believe that this episode of heat
