00:00We are still together on Mediantv. Thank you for remaining faithful to us. Here are the titles of your newspaper.
00:18It is under a crushing heat that the annual pilgrimage of Muslims began this Friday in Mecca for more than a million and a half of faithful. We will talk about it in a moment.
00:30In Mauritania, the election campaign for the presidential election on June 29 was launched. Seven candidates are running for office. The big favorite of this campaign is the outgoing president Mohamed Oudechère El Razouani.
00:44It is June 14. It is the World Blood Donor Day. In Morocco, the National Center for Blood Transfusion and Dermatology says thank you, a big thank you, to all donors who have been filling these blood banks for 20 years.
01:00Before developing these titles, let's take a look at New York, where the work of the Ordinary Session of the UN Committee on the 24th continues.
01:09An opportunity seized yesterday by the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council to reiterate in a statement their constant position in support of the Moroccan Sahara and territorial integrity of the kingdom.
01:23They also congratulated themselves on the efforts made by Morocco and the international community to achieve a peaceful solution for these different regions.
01:33We remain in New York, still in front of the Committee on the 24th, a session during which Gabon also reaffirmed its support for the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative,
01:45considering it as the compromise solution to put an end to the different regions around the Moroccan Sahara.
01:54During his speech, the First Counsellor to the Permanent Mission of Gabon to the UN highlighted the international dynamic reinforced in support of the Moroccan Autonomy Plan,
02:05with more than 107 countries expressing their support for this initiative.
02:12Same bell sound on the side of the Permanent Representative of Senegal to the UN in front of the Committee on the 24th.
02:19Djamal Diom reiterated the support of his country for the Moroccan Sahara.
02:24He also saluted the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative, which the Security Council considers serious and credible in its successive resolutions since 2007.
02:35I will tell you in the titles, it is under a crushing heat that the annual Muslim pilgrimage began this Friday in the Mecca for more than a million and a half faithful.
02:48It starts first with the rite of tawaf, which consists of turning around the Kaaba.
02:53They will then go to Mina, a valley overgrown with rocky mountains located a few kilometers from Mecca,
03:01where they will spend the night in the essential stages of the Hajj,
03:05as the prayer on the Mo'arrafat on Saturday still takes place in the open air under a sun of lead and temperatures expected around 44 degrees this year.
03:16The Moroccan Association for Development in Africa, in cooperation with the interdisciplinary university Mohamed VI,
03:25has organized a scientific meeting on the impact of geopolitical tensions on the global economy, supply chains as a model.
03:33The meeting saw the participation of nearly a hundred people from around the world in international and national levels,
03:41whose activities have been affected by growing geopolitical tensions.
03:46I propose to listen to Abdelhatif Komat, Dean of the Faculty of Juridical, Economic and Social Sciences of Casablanca,
03:52and Hassan Lahlou, President of the Moroccan Association for Development in Africa.
03:59In fact, today we are participating in a very important conference that fits perfectly into geostrategy, geopolitics,
04:08and in a more direct way the whole economic dimension related to the movement that the global economy knows today,
04:16and the tensions at the level of flows and goods, and of course the supply chains,
04:22and the role that Africa could play precisely to make these supply chains more active in the sense of mobility at the international level.
04:33Today we organized a conference, the Moroccan Association for Development in Africa,
04:39with the support of the Africa Business School of the UMCSP,
04:45and we thank them for trusting us.
04:48We also thank the Royal Gulf for hosting us in prestigious places.
04:52And today, this conference is an important theme that is topical,
04:58that merges the political and geopolitical dimension, but also the economic dimension.
05:04On the one hand, we are talking about geopolitical tensions, and on the other hand, we are addressing the supply chains.
05:10The objective of this conference, which is called the impact of geopolitical tensions on the global economy,
05:17the case of supply chains, is to enlighten economic operators, Moroccans,
05:22and all those who have entities exposed to international markets,
05:26what is happening internationally, how this can directly or indirectly affect their activities.
05:32It is a conference that brings together four panelists, including university professors,
05:36but also practitioners who have worked on the issue of geopolitical tensions,
05:40but also on artificial intelligence, on Morocco's role in this whole ecosystem,
05:45but also on Africa and how it can benefit from this new reconfiguration.
05:50The theme is important for the Kingdom, insofar as, under the leadership of His Majesty the King, may God assist him,
05:57our country has made enormous progress, which is today on the international map, that of production,
06:03especially in strategic sectors, such as aeronautics, automobiles, and recently, electric batteries.
06:10It is a conference that should come out with conclusions,
06:13including how Morocco could benefit from this reconfiguration that is underway, and this new world map,
06:21but also how to benefit our continent, Africa, which has all the attention of His Majesty the King, may God assist him,
06:28in order to raise the supply chains.
06:32Once again, it is an important conference, which addresses a theme that is little discussed,
06:38and which has all its place in the changes that Morocco is experiencing today.
06:42There is still no respite in the war in Gaza.
06:45The Israeli army is carrying out intense strikes this Friday on the Palestinian enclave.
06:50The humanitarian situation on the ground is catastrophic, with a famine that mostly affects children.
06:55And while the negotiations to stop the fire are still in the impasse,
07:00there is a flurry of violence at the border between Israel and Lebanon.
07:07On the second day of the G7 meeting, the leaders of the group of the most industrialized countries
07:13intend to defend their economies today in Italy, while avoiding escalation with Beijing.
07:19The day before, they welcomed Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president,
07:24to the G7 meeting, where they agreed to pay nearly 50 billion dollars,
07:28guaranteed by the use of frozen Russian assets.
07:36Let's go to Mauritania, where the election campaign for the presidential election of June 29 is launched.
07:41The countdown has started.
07:44Seven candidates are running for office.
07:46The big favorite of this scrutiny is President-elect Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Razouani.
07:51On the other side, there will be the human rights activist Birem Daabeid.
07:56The candidates still have until June 27 to court the voters and convince the undecided.
08:06It is June 14, World Blood Donor Day,
08:11the occasion to celebrate these people and volunteers who work for this precious gift
08:17that saves lives and promotes research.
08:20This is a day marked by a white stone in Morocco by the National Center for Blood Transfusion and Dermatology,
08:26which says a big thank you to all donors who have been filling these blood banks for 20 years.
08:32In Morocco, the total donation increased by 11% last year compared to 2022,
08:37with an increase of 14% this year during Ramadan.
08:44And to talk about this day, we are live from Casablanca with Inder Zejli,
08:49Head of Communications and Mobile Collections at Casablanca's Ibn Roch CHU.
08:54Inder Zejli, hello and thank you for accepting our invitation.
08:58Hello.
09:00So what does this day mean to you?
09:03Why is it so important to thank, to pay homage to these volunteers, to these blood donors?
09:11Today we celebrate World Blood Donor Day.
09:16And if blood transfusion in general and blood donation is a permanent and usual thing in our country,
09:24it is a real pleasure today to speak to Moroccans and tell them that it is a special day for the patient,
09:32and they know that, and it is a special day even for the donor because we have been doing it for 20 years now.
09:40Because it is a reason to raise awareness among people,
09:46and in particular to tell them that this period is very difficult,
09:52especially the period of the rite, which takes place 15 days before the rite and 15 days after the rite,
09:57where statistically the rate is decreasing.
10:00We are in a deficit during this period because there are holidays, several holidays,
10:05there are school holidays because the students constitute an important reservoir of donors for us,
10:14and there is also aid and travel.
10:18So all this has a negative impact on the stock and impacts the production of blood products in the city every day.
10:25To alleviate this problem, we have an anticipatory strategy.
10:30Of course we have a policy that lasts all day, all year,
10:34but there is a special policy, especially in these critical periods,
10:39to encourage local initiatives and also to maximize all the collections
10:47in order to have a good stock to be able to pass quietly and in the green zone during this difficult period,
10:53especially 15 days after the rite.
10:55Morocco needs more than 1,000 donations per day to reach self-sufficiency in blood products in the city.
11:02At your level, how do you promote the culture of blood donation in the Kingdom?
11:08The culture of blood donation is not done in one day.
11:12We started five years ago and now we are seeing the fruits of our work
11:18and a long-term work with the teams, especially from Casablanca.
11:21As you know, Casablanca is a very large region.
11:24It is very large in terms of its economy, it is very large in terms of population and especially health institutions.
11:31These health institutions are putting pressure on us because demand is high
11:37and, as an indicator, we need 600 pouches per day, that is, 400 donors per day.
11:42Whereas in some regions in Morocco, the need is much less, 300 during the whole month.
11:51This leads us to have a well-threaded strategy to have the blood pockets,
11:58knowing that Casablanca is also the terminal destination of several patients
12:05since there is the CHU here, in which we are today, to celebrate June 14 with a magnificent team.
12:11Casablanca has this specificity and it pushes us to surpass ourselves, especially in this period.
12:19First of all, to renew, yes.
12:21The blood donation, the blood donation, HINZEJLI, allows us to save lives.
12:27It also presents several benefits for the donor himself.
12:32Precisely, what are these benefits?
12:34So, each blood donation is a team, it is an equation that is magnificent, where everyone wins.
12:39First of all, the patient wins, of course, he will gain his health, he will gain a renewal of his vigor
12:46and sometimes he regains another chance of life, which is not easy.
12:49And for the donor, of course, there are also advantages.
12:54The first is that it lowers all the risk factors of cancer.
13:00And that's important, it lowers the risk factors of heart disease.
13:05It lowers the risk of heart failure, it lowers a lot of bad things
13:08and it gives a blow to these stem cells to ensure a cellular renewal, a renaissance, a regeneration of these cells.
13:16With a direct improvement in cartilage, an improvement in the amount of blood.
13:22And what I mean is, above all, an improvement and a spiritual well-being of having helped a person they do not know,
13:30knowing that it is in our religion, in our morals, and the Moroccans are known to be generous.
13:37Thank you for all these details. Thank you for answering our questions.
13:41It was a pleasure.
13:45Let's go to Senegal, where Timbuktu Institute and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation published a report on a study
13:51based on the perceptions of populations on the place and role of religious actors in the electoral game.
13:59This study shows that three quarters of young people are no longer receptive to religious messages on politics.
14:09In the Senegalese electoral context, religious actors are often solicited by political candidates to obtain their support.
14:17Their involvement in political life has been the subject of a study compared in coastal and border areas.
14:24A report reveals an analysis of the perceptions of populations on the place and role of religious actors in the Senegalese electoral game,
14:32developed by Timbuktu Institute in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
14:39This study of perceptions had two major objectives.
14:43First, to see the perception of Senegalese on the place and role of religious actors on the political field and their influence.
14:53But also to see, according to the current developments and the profound changes that have impacted Senegalese society,
15:02whether religious actors could continue to play the role that they have always played in Senegal,
15:08that is to say, a role of stabilizer.
15:11This 68-page report collected divergent opinions in coastal and border areas.
15:18It reports that three quarters of young people, or 73%, are no longer receptive to religious messages on politics.
15:26In this distinction, it is very clear that the Senegalese, interrogated in the context of this study according to global trends,
15:34which should be specified according to whether we are on the coastal regions or the trans-frontal regions,
15:42the following point emerged.
15:44On their electoral choices, on their political commitment, there is more and more emancipation
15:50in relation to the voting order emanating from religious people.
15:54In addition, recommendations have been issued to integrate religious people into the electoral process in Senegal.
16:02Your study reveals several aspects.
16:05First of all, it reveals, despite the profound political changes,
16:10a positive perception of the role of religious people in the field of social regulation and mediation.
16:17The relationship between religion and Senegalese politics is complex.
16:21Although religious actors can influence elections,
16:24they are also aware of the limits of their intervention in the field.
16:29Back in the Kingdom, on the occasion of Eid al-Adha,
16:32the National Society of Motorways of Morocco informs users that the entire motorway network
16:39will experience a significant increase in traffic,
16:42presenting them with a series of recommendations for a safe and comfortable trip.
16:47The ADM recommends users to organize their personal belongings,
16:53to inform themselves of the instantaneous state of traffic by downloading the ADM Traffic application
16:59and to remain attentive to weather alerts.
17:03We remain in the Kingdom, where this Friday marks the 30th and last day of the Boutelapro football night,
17:12a season that will have lasted throughout the year.
17:16It will be a season of suspense and intense rivalry,
17:21with the race between the Raja Casablanca and the Eifar,
17:26which of the two teams will win the championship.
17:30We will know this at the end of the last matches of this season.
17:34And to talk about this last day of the Boutelapro,
17:37we are with Khalid Fouami, a former international footballer
17:41and Moroccan coach.
17:44Khalid Fouami, hello and thank you for accepting our invitation.
17:51Hello, thank you for the invitation.
17:55The Moroccan champion will only be known at the end of the 30th and last day this Friday.
18:02What does this race have in store for us between the Raja Casablanca and the Eifar?
18:09In any case, we are very happy because the outcome of the championship will be decided until the end of the championship.
18:16This means that there will be a big rivalry between the two teams that are always concerned,
18:21that is, the Raja and the Eifar.
18:24The last match will be decisive for the two teams.
18:28But I think that the Raja has a long way to go because they have their chances in their hands.
18:35This means that if they win their match against the MCO,
18:38it will not be an easy match because the MCO also plays its survival of the fittest.
18:43They will be crowned champions.
18:45We must not overlook the very good performance of the Eifar throughout the season.
18:51They were very, very performant.
18:54They scored a lot of goals.
18:56It is the team that scored the most goals.
18:58But they were especially good in the last four days
19:01because the Eifar had four points ahead of the Raja.
19:04But the Raja persisted.
19:06They continued to do their job well.
19:08It is the team that has not lost two matches so far in the championship.
19:11And I can see that they will also lose the last match,
19:14which will be, it is true, a very complicated match.
19:17But they have the qualities, they have the mental resources
19:20to be able to beat this MCO team, even in Oujda.
19:23You just mentioned it.
19:25It is one of the highlights of this season in Botola Pro D1,
19:28the relegation in Botola D2.
19:30And it is Mouloudia Oujda, 13th with 25 points,
19:34who will play his survival in the championship against the Raja.
19:39The two teams will not give each other presents, that's for sure.
19:45It would be certain that the MCO will play their survival.
19:48But we know very well that the MCO now have a negative pressure.
19:52They will be very tense throughout the match.
19:57In addition, they do not have players who have a lot of experience,
20:01unlike the Raja, which is full of experienced players.
20:04Especially since it is a team that has won.
20:07Since in the last two decades, I think the Raja has won
20:10no less than 10 championship titles.
20:13So Raja has an advantage.
20:15But that's what makes football beautiful.
20:18In 90 minutes, anything can happen.
20:20That's why the fans, too, on their side, have to do the work.
20:24They have to win the match so as not to have regrets.
20:28Even if they also have a piece.
20:30That means the Rabat team,
20:32who will also try to win the match
20:34to try to improve their ranking at the end of the championship.
20:38And today, what are your views on the organization of this championship?
20:44Yes, I think there is a lot of progress in our championship.
20:48Already, France has very good quality.
20:50Despite the fact that we know very well
20:52that they are being renovated.
20:55But in any case, there is progress.
20:58It is true that we expect much better from clubs
21:01like the WAC of Casablanca,
21:04like the RC Berkan too,
21:06like the FUS too,
21:08to try to have a lot more competitive teams
21:11to raise the level of our championship
21:14in order to, why not, also be a reserve for the national team.
21:18Liffoamy, thank you for all these details.
21:20Thank you for answering our questions.
21:23Thank you.
21:26After golf football,
21:28now with the 124th edition of the US Open,
21:30which continues in North Carolina.
21:32And it is the Irish North,
21:34Rie McElroy,
21:36and the American Patrick Cantley
21:38who are currently sharing the lead
21:40in the ranking of this major golf tournament.
21:43Rie McElroy had a great day yesterday,
21:46finishing well with a 6-meter putt
21:48for a card with 5 birdies.
21:50And in Cambodia,
21:52the American Patrick Cantley,
21:54looking for his first major title,
21:56scored 3 birdies
21:58on his last 5 holes of the day
22:00to share the lead
22:02in front of the Swedish Ludvig Haberg.
22:06The world number, Scotty Scheffler,
22:08points to 34th place
22:10with 6 shots in the head.
22:12The legend Tiger Woods
22:14and Patrick Cantley
22:16in the lead.
22:18Let's listen to Patrick Cantley,
22:20Rie McElroy and Tiger Woods.
22:22Yes, I made a good start
22:24and especially this bunker shot
22:26at hole number 11.
22:28I played pretty solidly most of the time.
22:30I put a lot of balls on the fairway.
22:32They were also well placed
22:34for the most part.
22:36Yes, it's been good.
22:38I went through a run there
22:40for a while where I started.
22:42It was a good first day
22:44and at the start of the PGA circuit,
22:46I had some not very good
22:48start of the season.
22:50I probably got a bit angry
22:52at the start of the week.
22:54And going back a bit,
22:56I remember that I started
22:58with a 5 under par at Valhalla
23:00and I finished the tournament
23:02last year, on the first day
23:04at L'Augusta.
23:06I started under par,
23:08but not as much as Ricky Foller
23:10It was not pleasant to start
23:12under par on the first day
23:14during the majors I won
23:16or in those I played well.
23:18I always had the impression
23:20to make good starts
23:22and it's good today
23:24to make another one.
23:26I'm physically improving
23:28throughout the year.
23:30It's just that I couldn't play
23:32as much as I would have liked
23:34to not get injured
23:36and not participate in the majors.
23:38Play a lot with the risk
23:40of not participating in the tournament
23:42or not playing and fighting
23:44while being less sharp.
