00:35The United States does not want an escalation and an extended war with Iran,
00:39said the White House National Security Council spokesman on Sunday,
00:44the day after an unprecedented attack by the Islamic Republic of Israel.
00:50Involved in a case in the United States,
00:53Donald Trump is preparing to become the first American ex-president
00:57to appear before criminal justice for a trial less than six months
01:01before his duel against Joe Biden for the American presidential election.
01:05See you right away for the development.
01:10Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
01:11His Majesty, King Mohammed VI,
01:14sent a message of congratulations to Rashid Talbi Alami
01:18on his re-election as Speaker of the House of Representatives.
01:23In this message, the Sovereign expresses his sincere congratulations to Rashid Talbi Alami
01:29for the confidence placed in him by the members of the House of Representatives.
01:34His Majesty, the King implores the High Court to grant him full success
01:39to continue to work seriously with all the members of the House of Representatives
01:45for the implementation and realization of major reforms and development projects
01:52launched by the Sovereign.
01:57Belgium wants to deepen its bilateral relations with Morocco.
02:02On a business visit to Morocco,
02:04Belgian Prime Minister Alexandre de Croo had an interview
02:08with the head of the Moroccan government, Aziz Arhanouch.
02:12The two heads co-chaired the meeting of the High Commission Mixed.
02:17Younes Benzineb will tell us more.
02:22Here are the bilateral relations, a strategic partnership.
02:26These are the words of the third meeting of the High Commission Mixed
02:30of the Moroccan-Belgian Partnership.
02:32During this meeting, the Belgian Prime Minister did not fail to reiterate
02:36the position of Brussels on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara.
02:41Belgium is aware of the existential importance of this point for Morocco.
02:48In this context, I reiterated that Belgium considers the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative
02:54as a serious and credible effort and as a solid basis for a solution
03:00accepted by the different parties.
03:03The meeting of the High Commission Mixed was a moment of political dialogue
03:07between the representatives of the two countries.
03:09The Belgian Prime Minister saluted the reforms carried out by Morocco
03:13under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI
03:16during the last 25 years for a society, a more open and dynamic Moroccan economy.
03:23According to the Belgian High Commissioner,
03:25Morocco is a strategic partner in the foreground for Belgium,
03:29but also for the European Union.
03:31We want to develop and strengthen this strategic partnership that binds us.
03:36Today, we have decided on very concrete measures
03:40to strengthen and systematize our political dialogue
03:44and to consolidate our cooperation.
03:47We have thus mentioned areas such as cooperation in the field of migration,
03:53judicial cooperation, economic cooperation, cultural cooperation
03:59and the strengthening of our political and diplomatic dialogue.
04:05The meeting was marked by the signing of two memorandums of understanding.
04:09The first is on the field of green energy
04:12and aims at the production and distribution of green and ammonia hydrogen.
04:16The second agreement, signed by the ministers of justice of the two countries,
04:20aims at an exchange of expertise and good practices
04:23in the field of organization and administration
04:26in order to better combat organized crime.
04:29Always within the framework of the Moroccan-Belgian relations,
04:32the Minister of the Interior, Abdel Wafli Laftite,
04:35received today in Rabat the Belgian Federal Minister of the Interior,
04:40Institutional Reforms and Democratic Renewal,
04:43Anne-Lise-Jan-Louisa Verlinden,
04:46accompanied by the Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration,
04:50Nicole de Moore.
04:52On this occasion, the two ministers of justice of the two countries
04:57reviewed several issues of common interest
05:00and examined the means to further strengthen
05:03the partnership dynamic that structures
05:06cooperation between the two parties,
05:09especially in its security and migration components.
05:12The Belgian Federal Minister, Anne-Lise-Jan-Louisa Verlinden,
05:15that I propose to listen to you.
05:18We had an excellent meeting on the close collaboration of the two countries.
05:22We touched on security issues
05:25also with my colleague Nicole de Moore,
05:28Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration.
05:31There is already an important exchange of information
05:34between our police and security services.
05:37And we have also discussed strengthening this collaboration
05:40to fight together against organized crime
05:43and to strengthen the cooperation between the two countries.
05:46I would like to thank the Minister of the Interior,
05:49Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration,
05:52for the cooperation we have made together
05:55against organized crime, terrorism, extremism,
05:58human trafficking.
06:01We really create this network between us,
06:04between governments, public authorities
06:07to fight against these criminal networks
06:10to keep our security as close to the citizens.
06:13The United States does not want an escalation
06:16with Iran, insisted yesterday the spokesman of the National Security Council of the White
06:22House, on the eve of an unprecedented attack by the Islamic Republic on Israel.
06:26Joe Biden said he wanted to avoid a bombardment in the Middle East after the unprecedented
06:32attack of Iran against Israel, in which the American army directly intervened to intercept
06:38Iranian drones and missiles.
06:40The United States is not looking for escalation, but will continue to defend Israel after the
06:46unprecedented attack by Iran, said today the head of American diplomacy, Anthony Blinken.
06:54Benyamin Netanyahu did not take the time to address the Israelis after the rain of drones
07:01and Iranian missiles that fell on the country on Sunday.
07:05He gathered war cabins, but we still do not know what the response to the first direct
07:14attack led by Iran on Israeli territory could look like.
07:17Ministers, however, are on the rise, including Itamar Ben-Gevir, Minister of Interior Security,
07:24who on the night of the attack pleaded for a crushing reply.
07:29Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak accused those who want to set fire to the Middle East and
07:35accused Netanyahu of obeying only for personal reasons of political survival.
07:40And after the attack launched by Tehran against the Hebrew state on Saturday night to Sunday,
07:49Benyamin Netanyahu's government promised to retaliate.
07:53Several scenarios are therefore on the horizon, the point of the situation with Al Abedani.
07:59As soon as the Iranian retaliation had begun on Saturday night, the question was already
08:05on everyone's lips, what will be Israel's response?
08:08If Iran considers the case closed, Israel has chosen to take the time, claiming that
08:13this attack requires a decisive response that will not be long in coming.
08:18The Israeli War Council has declared that the confrontation is not over yet.
08:24These threats must make it possible to think that a disproportionate counterattack against
08:28Tehran and its regional suppliers is envisaged.
08:31Analysts believe that in the worst-case scenario, one can imagine an Israeli retaliation strictly
08:38confined to a military base or an Iranian port area, at night for example, to avoid
08:44any risk of civilian death in Iran.
08:46Another possibility, the targeting of Iranian nuclear facilities.
08:51Other geopolitical experts claim that any attack on Israel involves a mechanical
08:56retaliation at a potentially superior level, to prevail a form of dissuasion.
09:01Faced with the risk of gearing up, the diplomatic voice of many countries, like the United States,
09:08has also called on Israel to avoid any escalation.
09:11That said, even if Washington tries to reason with Israel, its influence is no longer what it was.
09:17It is important to remember that the two countries have been opposing each other for years in
09:20a war of shadows, whose objective is to maintain sufficient dissuasion to avoid any frontal
09:27attack on their territory.
09:28In recent years, Israel has been accused of taking action to sabotage the Iranian nuclear
09:33program, of operating cyberattacks and of intensifying its attacks in Syria, targeting
09:39members of the Revolutionary Guards.
09:41Finally, on December 25, the highest-ranking Revolutionary Guard in Syria, Razi Mousavi,
09:48was killed in an attack on Israel.
09:50More recently, on January 20, 2024, an Israeli strike in Damascus killed 10 members of the
09:57Revolutionary Guards.
10:00Will Israel respond to this attack despite the call of its allies Washington and London?
10:07Let's listen to the analysis of Mohamed Abadine El Yatoui, professor of international relations.
10:12He was the guest of the morning.
10:15The most likely scenario, if we rely on what Benjamin Netanyahu has been trying to do
10:19for years, would be to attack Iranian territory.
10:22But attacking Iranian territory would lead to much more significant reprisals than what
10:26we saw this weekend.
10:28So the question will be whether we attack Iranian interests in Syria or in Lebanon,
10:34or elsewhere, in Iraq, for example, or whether we attack the territory directly.
10:38I think Benjamin Netanyahu will be tempted to attack Iranian territory, but he will need
10:42American support.
10:43And Joe Biden, like Antony Blinken, do not want to hear about it for the moment, because
10:47it would risk very strongly damaging the whole region.
10:50And we see that, for example, a country like Jordan, which is at the longest border with
10:55Israel, 300 km, is very, very afraid of what is happening for its national security.
11:00So the will of the Americans, like the will of several Arab countries in the region,
11:04will be to try to calm things down, to mitigate things.
11:07The problem is that if the Iranian territory was to be targeted by the Israeli army,
11:11it would be reached, because the Iranians also have quite important anti-aircraft
11:15defense capabilities.
11:16But if that were the case, we could take a new step, since the Iranians also,
11:21on their side, have not used all their missiles, and all their most important missiles,
11:26and the most powerful in terms of range.
11:29At the same time, the Washington and other international capitals have remained
11:34in the hands of the Israeli army.
11:36Today, the Israeli army continues its operations in the Gaza Strip, while the international
11:40community fears a bloodbath among the displaced Palestinians.
11:44The spokesman for the Israeli army has announced the dispatch of two additional reserve brigades
11:49to fight in the Palestinian territory.
11:52Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he is determined to launch a terrestrial
11:58offensive against this city, which he presents as the last great bastion of Hamas.
12:05Now, let's take a look at the war in the Soudan.
12:21In the conflict in the Soudan, at the opening of the International Humanitarian Conference
12:26in Paris, more than 840 million euros of aid to the Soudan have been announced.
12:31This conference opens a year after the start of the war in the country, co-chaired by France,
12:37Germany and the European Union.
12:39Its objective is to coordinate the mediation initiatives to put an end to the war that
12:44ravages the country.
12:46What is the impact of this conference on the evolution of this devastating war in the absence
12:51of belligerents at this meeting?
12:53Let's listen to the analysis of Ahmad Dabio, expert in conflict management, president of
12:58the Development Center and also in the prevention of extremism.
13:28The war continues to rage in the Soudan after a year of violence, humanitarian organizations
13:51and the international community.
13:53Ahmad Dabio addresses a more than alarming human assessment.
13:55The explanations, of course, with Sheyma Fikri.
13:57A year, day by day, the war broke out in the Soudan.
13:59A war that opposed the army to the paramilitary.
14:01In 2021, the two generals Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Daglou had advanced together.
14:03The civilians with whom he shared power since the fall in 2019 of Omar al-Bashir.
14:05However, they were divided.

16:37In the return to the continent,
16:39Senegal has announced the end of the accumulation of advisor role.
16:47Members of his government have canceled their election任
16:49with Mamadou Eftiara and Salmou Cissané.
16:53In Senegal, the new authorities at the head of the country
16:56have attacked the accumulation of administrative functions,
16:59a way of opting for a systemic rupture in the state's management.
17:03Moreover, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko
17:05has immediately asked the new minister to resign from his office
17:08to better devote himself to the new charge,
17:11a measure that has been unanimously saluted by the population.
17:14We have always seen Ousmane Sonko and his supporters
17:18denouncing this accumulation of functions,
17:20saying that this accumulation was not really arranged
17:23by those who occupy functions at the state level,
17:25namely a minister.
17:26Because a minister cannot be focused on his work
17:29at the level of the services.
17:30He must also occupy a function at the level of his mother
17:33or be a deputy.
17:34So that makes the work a bit cumbersome.
17:36So that even delays the efficiency of the work.
17:39So I think that this meeting,
17:41this systemic rupture
17:43that President Bassilou Gemay Faye had announced,
17:46he and his team are really on this path.
17:49You can't catch two birds with one stone.
17:51Everyone knows that.
17:53There are people who do not have a job at the moment.
17:56So the accumulation of functions in a poor country
17:59where people are looking for a job
18:01is also something that does not really seem normal to me.
18:04Among other improvements announced,
18:06the digitization of administrative services,
18:08a measure that seems to be unanimous in the country.
18:10With the digitization announced by the President of the Republic,
18:13if it is implemented,
18:15I think that the administration will be more and more efficient,
18:18more and more efficient,
18:19more and more rapid in relation to the demands of Senegalese.
18:22Because when you go, even at the level of the mayors
18:24or in the administrative sectors that are close to you,
18:27you will see a certain slowness
18:29on the part of the files.
18:32Because there is simply no digitization.
18:34And if the state accepts this digitization,
18:37it will allow Senegalese taxpayers
18:40to have very fast access to administrative services.
18:43So this is reassuring for me.
18:45So this accumulation of ministries,
18:47by transforming them into large ministries,
18:50only reinforces the will of Senegalese
18:53to have faster and more responsive leaders.
18:57It should be noted that the society project
18:59proposed by the new Senegalese authorities
19:01has aroused a ray of hope in the country.
19:04Senegalese must therefore show patience
19:06and unite around a new governmental framework
19:09for a rapid achievement of fixed objectives.
19:14Let's go to the United States,
19:16where Donald Trump is about to become
19:18the first American former president in history
19:21to face criminal justice
19:23with the opening of a trial in New York
19:26that makes his duel against Joe Biden
19:28more unpredictable at the presidential election
19:30in November.
19:31The Republican billionaire
19:33should appear today in Manhattan
19:35for a payment case
19:37intended to buy the silence
19:39of former film star Stormy Daniels
19:42a few days before the 2016 election
19:45which had made him the 45th president of the United States
19:49a little over three years after leaving the White House
19:52in the chaos,
19:53the Republican candidate risks a prison sentence.
19:56And that brings me to the end of this edition.
19:58Thank you for following it.
