00:00It's time for the news. Thank you for joining us on Mediantv. Here are the headlines.
00:10During the regular session of the UN's D24 committee in New York, several countries reaffirmed their support for the Moroccan Autonomous Initiative.
00:24The Moroccan delegation of the Hajj, led by the Minister of Industry and Commerce, Riad Mzour, learned about the conditions of the Moroccan pilgrims' stay in Lamek.
00:37On Friday, the Israeli army carried out bombings in the Gaza Strip, without moving forward in the talks, to put out the fire.
00:47All this was accompanied by a flurry of violence at the border between Israel and Lebanon.
00:54The six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council reiterated in a statement during the regular session of the UN's D24 committee in New York their constant support for the Moroccan identity of the Sahara and the territorial integrity of the kingdom.
01:14In this statement, which was read by the Qatari representative, we also have the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the Sultanate of Oman.
01:25The countries of the CCG reaffirmed the importance of the special strategic partnership between the Council and the Kingdom of Morocco and the implementation of the Common Action Plan, as well as the positions of the Gulf Cooperation Council and its constant support.
01:43The Gulf Cooperation Council congratulated the last resolutions of the UN Security Council on the Moroccan Sahara.
01:57The states of the CCG also expressed their support for all the efforts made by Morocco and the international community to achieve a peaceful solution in this different region.
02:10And Gabon also reaffirmed in New York its support for the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative, considering it as the compromise solution to put an end to the different regional issues around the Moroccan Sahara,
02:25by supporting the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative, which the Security Council considers to be serious and credible, in its successive resolutions since 2007.
02:34The first advisor to the permanent mission of Gabon to the UN underlined this during the regular session of the C24.
02:41The diplomat made it clear that this initiative is the solution to compromise in this different region.
02:46It is in accordance with international law, the UN Charter and the resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly.
02:54In this context, he highlighted the international dynamic, reinforced by support for the Moroccan Autonomy Plan, with more than 107 countries expressing their support for this initiative.
03:08This is also the case for Senegal, which reaffirmed in New York its total and constant support for the national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Morocco,
03:17as well as the Autonomy Initiative presented by the Kingdom to find a solution to the different regional issues around the Sahara.
03:23Senegal would like to reaffirm its constant support for the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative, which the Security Council considers to be serious and credible.
03:32In its successive resolutions since 2007, the permanent representative of Senegal to the UN, Ambassador Diaman Diom, underlined this during the regular session of the C24.
03:43The diplomat noted that this initiative is consolidated by the substantial achievements of Morocco in human rights,
03:50notably the role played by the Commission of the National Council of Human Rights in Dakhla and Laayoune, saluted by the Security Council in its resolution 2703.
04:01The annual Muslim pilgrimage begins this Friday in Lamek for more than a million and a half believers, gathered in the holiest city of Islam.
04:16The pilgrims begin by performing the Tawaf rite, which consists of turning around the Kaaba,
04:26then heading to Mina, a mountainous valley located a few kilometers from Lamek, where they will spend the night in air-conditioned tents.
04:39In Saudi Arabia, the Moroccan delegation of the Hajj, led by the Minister of Industry and Trade,
04:47has taken into account the conditions of the pilgrims' stay and the services provided in terms of accommodation, care, orientation and transport,
04:55in addition to the proximity of the places of their residence in Al-Haram al-Makkih.
05:00Overall, everything is going well.
05:02I invite you to listen to the Minister of Industry and Trade, Riad Mzour, who officially leads the Moroccan delegation.
05:09First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to His Majesty the King for his supreme trust, which constitutes both an honor and a mission.
05:24As for the rites of Hajj, the Moroccan official delegation for pilgrimage acquires its duty in an exemplary way,
05:31representing our pilgrims in the most dignified way, thanks to the royal directives contained in the message addressed to the pilgrims by His Majesty.
05:40The management is of a very high level, with a mission including 800 supervisors covering the administrative, scientific, medical, military and civilian areas.
05:51Moroccan pilgrims live in an exceptional spiritual atmosphere.
05:56Pray for their payer and their king, follow the royal directives with devotion and represent Morocco in the best way.
06:07So far, five Moroccan pilgrims have died, but in general, the state of health of Moroccan pilgrims is satisfactory.
06:16As you know, today marks the beginning of our departure to Mina.
06:23Moreover, the intense heat that reigns there forces us to take the necessary measures to protect our pilgrims from risks related to these extreme conditions.
06:34In international news, the Israeli army is carrying out bombings in the Gaza Strip this Friday,
06:41without moving forward to talk about a ceasefire, all dubbed a flurry of violence at the border between Israel and Lebanon.
06:49At 1 a.m. this morning, witnesses reported Israeli strikes in various sectors of the Gaza Strip,
06:56notably in the center of the enclave in Lebanon.
06:59The National Press Agency reported on Friday the death of a civilian and many injured in an Israeli G-7 strike
07:06near Tyre, in the south of the country, after Thursday's strikes by Lebanese Hezbollah in northern Israel.
07:13French President Emmanuel Macron announced yesterday at the G7 Summit that France, the United States and Israel
07:19will work in a trilateral format on the French road map to contain tensions at the Lebanese-Israeli border.
07:26We propose, in particular, a ceasefire on both sides.
07:31Other armed groups are 10 km from the African-Israeli border, according to Lebanese officials.
07:37The leaders of the G7 will meet this week in Italy, in a context of strong international tensions,
07:48with the wars in Gaza, Ukraine and political turmoil in the United States and Europe.
07:54The Group of Seven welcomed Volodymyr Zelensky with open arms, announcing a loan of 50 billion dollars
08:02and an agreement on the use of frozen Russian assets to help Kiev defend itself.
08:08But the Ukrainian president also asked them to speed up their delivery of weapons and training of pilots on the F-16s.
08:19In the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, Russia said on Friday that it shot down 87 Ukrainian drones at night in 70,
08:26targeting the region of Rostov, home to the Russian operation HQ in Ukraine.
08:32During the night, an attempt by the Kiev regime to launch an attack with aerial drones was prevented.
08:39This is what the Russian Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
08:42A total of 87 Ukrainian drones were shot down over the Russian regions, it said.
08:49In Morocco, the National Railway Office announced a special offer for the Eid al-Adha holiday.
09:00In anticipation of constant travel during this period,
09:04the OSF announced the schedule of trains 24 hours a day during peak days.
09:10The stations are setting up several measures to ensure the transport of travelers in comfortable and safe conditions.
09:26Here, at the Rabaa Akdel station, the managers are working hard
09:30so that the trips that coincide with the Eid holiday take place in the best possible conditions.
09:40I came to Rabaa Akdel station today to book my tickets for Eid al-Adha.
09:45Every year, I go to the station to book my ticket in advance.
09:51The increased demand for travel in the approach of Eid is accompanied by special preparations in railway and road stations.
09:58To meet this strong demand, the National Railway Office announced a special program.
10:04The ONCF scheduled 240 additional trains per day and increased the number of seats during peak hours.
10:20On the occasion of Eid al-Adha, the number of travelers is increasing.
10:23The ONCF has set up a special program to ensure the safety and good travel conditions.
10:30The ONCF has also made available to travelers a large number of teams to manage the reception of travelers during this period.
10:37The National Railway Office calls on travelers to book their return tickets.
10:47Special preparations and exceptional measures.
10:50This is how the National Railway Office prepares for one of the most important periods of the year
10:56in order to minimize the distances between families who celebrate Eid in an exceptional atmosphere.
11:01Travelers prefer the TGV.
11:10And still on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, the National Railway Society of Morocco informs the users of the highway
11:16that the entire highway network will experience a significant increase in traffic,
11:22presenting a series of recommendations for a safe and comfortable trip.
11:27In a statement, the National Railway Society of Morocco expects significant traffic,
11:32particularly during the following peak hours,
11:36on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 14, 15 and 16 June, between 3 p.m. and 10 p.m.,
11:42and on Tuesday, 18 June, which will coincide with the return of Eid al-Adha holidays between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m.
11:49For a safe and comfortable trip, the National Railway Society of Morocco recommends to users to organize their trip in advance,
11:55to inquire about the state of the traffic instantly by downloading the ADM Traffic application
12:00and to remain attentive to weather alerts by being vigilant in the event of a gust of wind,
12:06rain or fog.
12:08Note that users of the TGV are particularly called to take the necessary precautions
12:15following the announcement of strong gusts of wind with local dust storms by the General Directorate of Meteorology,
12:22on Saturday, 15 June, from 10 p.m. to 7 p.m.
12:28And now, we will go to the Tanger airport, Ibn Battuta.
12:35The international departure circuit has been reconfigured to find out what has really changed,
12:43following this report by Mohamed Arrichi and Sohail Jalil.
12:48Reconfiguration of the Tanger airport to smoothen passenger traffic.
12:53Now, passengers of domestic flights have a dedicated 300 m3 boarding area with two boarding gates.
13:01This separation of flows allows a better organization and a time saving for all passengers.
13:06The hall dedicated to international flights has been enlarged and equipped with three new boarding gates.
13:11Safety checks have also been reinforced to guarantee optimal safety.
13:16A commercial area of 460 m2 has also been designed for the comfort of passengers.
13:22The airport authorities have set up a project of rapid measures aimed at increasing passenger energy.
13:30The National Airport Office has taken a series of proactive measures to respond to the growth of air traffic at the Tanger airport.
13:37This device aims to increase the airport's welcome capacity in order to improve passenger traffic management.
13:51The implementation of this program took place in three stages.
13:54The first was on the redevelopment of the former Terminal 1 in the arrival area,
13:58while the second and third stages were on the redevelopment of the departure area of Terminal 2
14:05and the redevelopment of a room dedicated to boarding domestic flights.
14:21This redevelopment is part of a Quick Wins program implemented by the National Airport Office
14:27to respond to the growth of air traffic at the Tanger airport.
14:30This short-term solution increases the airport's welcome capacity from 1.5 to 2.3 million passengers per year
14:37while building a new terminal planned for the horizon in 2028.
14:47The Quick Wins program also aims at other measures related to the improvement and management of airport safety
14:54and the renewal of equipment and devices to allow the airport to reach a comfortable welcome capacity in the next four or five years.
15:07These reconfigurations are part of a Quick Wins reconfiguration program implemented by Honda
15:13while waiting for the implementation of a new terminal.
15:16Recalling that the Tanger airport is linked to 35 international destinations
15:20serving the airport via 153 weekly frequencies,
15:23it is also connected to 8 national destinations via 24 weekly frequencies.
15:31The Timbuktu Institute and the Konrad Foundation published a study report
15:36based on the perceptions of the population on the square and the role of religious actors in the electoral game in Senegal.
15:43Nearly 2,000 individuals and 45 people from all walks of life were interviewed between October and December 2023
15:50in coastal areas such as Dakar, Saint-Louis and the Frontalier zones.
15:55They found that three-quarters of young people are no longer receptive to religious messages on politics.
16:01The report is signed by Eva Sania and Moussa Ndiaye.
16:05In the Senegalese electoral context, religious actors are often solicited by political candidates
16:11to obtain their support.
16:13Their involvement in political life was the subject of a study compared in coastal and Frontalier zones.
16:20A report reveals an analysis of the perceptions of the population on the square
16:25and the role of religious actors in the Senegalese electoral game
16:28developed by Timbuktu Institute in partnership with the Konrad Akdenauer Foundation.
16:35This study of perceptions had two major objectives.
16:39First, to see the perception of Senegalese people on the square
16:44and the role of religious actors on the political field and their influence.
16:49But also to see, according to the current developments
16:54and the profound changes that have impacted Senegalese society,
16:58whether religious people could continue to play the role that they have always played in Senegal,
17:04that is to say, a role of stabilizer.
17:07This 68-page report collected divergent opinions in coastal and Frontalier zones.
17:14It found that three-quarters of young people, or 73%, are no longer receptive to religious messages on politics.
17:22In this distinction, it is very clear that Senegalese people are questioned in the context of this study
17:28according to global trends that should be specified
17:32according to whether we are on the coastal regions or the Frontalier regions.
17:37The following point has emerged.
17:40On their electoral choices, on their political commitment,
17:44there is more and more emancipation in relation to the order of voting emanating from religious people.
17:50In addition, recommendations have been issued,
17:54going in the direction of integrating religious people into the electoral process of Senegal.
17:59Your study reveals several aspects.
18:02It is the ideal therapeutic for a peaceful climate in the electoral period.
18:07First of all, it reveals, despite the profound political changes,
18:13a positive perception of the role of religious people in the domain of social regulation and mediation.
18:19The relationship between religion and politics in Senegal is complex.
18:23Although religious actors can influence elections,
18:26they are also aware of the limits of their intervention in the political domain.
18:34Sport, with the opening this Thursday of the US Open Golf Tournament.
18:38This tournament brings together the best golfers in the world in North Carolina.
18:42The four days of competition will test the skills and resilience of the participants in a spectacular setting.
18:51The tournament seems to be as difficult as ever,
18:55with the speed of the greens in the form of a reverse shot that makes a lot of talk.
19:00The triple winner of the Tiger Roots Tournament promises to be at the rendezvous.
19:05I suggest you listen to him right after.
19:07You will have the reaction of the world's number one, Scottie Schiffler,
19:10author of an exceptional start to the season.
19:14It's great to be back.
19:17It's a pleasure to be back here at the US Open.
19:21What I also like the most are the days of practice.
19:25I had a bit of success here between 1999 and 2005.
19:30I trust my son Charlie for my swing and my game.
19:34He saw it more than anyone else in the world.
19:38He saw me hit more golf balls than anyone else.
19:42I tell him what to look at, especially when it comes to putting.
19:47He gave me some little tips today, which was great,
19:50because I focus so much on putting that I tend to forget some details that I have to work on.
19:58I just want to see the balls rolling.
20:00He reminds me from time to time, which is very good.
20:03We have an excellent relationship and it's a fabulous experience for both of us.
20:13Yes, the course is excellent.
20:14It has been well worked on.
20:16I think the areas around the green are extremely difficult to play.
20:20In any case, it should be a good test for everyone and especially a fun week.
20:27As I said, when we start the week,
20:30all the players have their chance to win and pass the cut.
20:34When I played with Xander Schöffeli and Rory McElroy on Thursday and Friday,
20:39they didn't tell me weird things about the golf course
20:42and they didn't try to stop me from putting and getting the ball into the hole.
20:47You know, when you're on a course,
20:49the only goal you have is to play golf well.
20:54Most of the time, it's against the course and against yourself that you have to play.
21:03That's the end of this edition.
21:05Thank you for following it and staying with us.
21:07We'll see you again soon.
