00:00Good evening and welcome to Median TV, thank you for joining us for a new newscast, here are the headlines.
00:18Israeli bombings targeted Gaza this Sunday, dozens of people were killed in the arms dispute.
00:25The Israeli Defense Minister went to the United States to discuss with his ally.
00:31On the occasion of the Day of Peace Consolidation, celebrated this June 23,
00:36António Guterres called for a collective overthrow in favor of peace.
00:41Details of his statement in a moment.
00:43President Kenyan said he was ready for a conversation with the thousands of young protesters.
00:50Protesters denounce a new tax project announced by the Kenyan government.
00:58In Geneva, the fate of children as soldiers in the Tindo camps was at the heart of a debate,
01:03a debate organized on the basis of the work of the 56th session of the Council of Human Rights,
01:07which continues until July 12.
01:09Explanations with Soheil Gelil.
01:12The fate of children as soldiers in the Tindo camps was at the heart of a debate in Geneva.
01:17The recruitment of children in the Tindo camps, which in practice constitutes a serious violation of human rights,
01:23was at the heart of a debate organized on the basis of the work of the 56th session of the Council of Human Rights in Geneva,
01:29a side event organized by the International Civil Diplomacy Group
01:34and moderated by Pedro Ignacio Altamirano,
01:37a Spanish political scientist and president of the Altamirano Foundation.
01:41He was able to bring together the various experts who highlighted the concerns
01:45concerning human rights in the refugee camps,
01:47including the fate of children as soldiers in regions such as the Tindo camps.
01:51Judith Segarra, an actress, a Spanish associate,
01:55opened the discussions by addressing the ethical and psychological impacts on children in the war.
02:00She stressed the profound implications of violence on the moral development of these children,
02:05noting that the moral dilemmas they are confronted with can alter their moral development,
02:10creating a dissonance between their intrinsic value and the brutal realities experienced.
02:15On his side, Daniel Heiner, a former Swiss diplomat,
02:18insisted on the need for Europe to react to the enrollment of children as soldiers.
02:23Europe, having suffered past wars, must be aware of the danger that children as soldiers represent for security.
02:29It is imperative that measures are taken to prevent this scourge, he insisted.
02:34For his part, Matteo Dominici, a political scientist and international relations advisor,
02:38described the phenomenon of children in the war as a global cancer,
02:42warning of the increase in the number of children as soldiers in the Sahel and in Tindouf.
02:46Moula El Hassan Nagy, president of the Independent Commission on Human Rights,
02:50CIDH Africa, and secretary-general of the International Center for the Prevention of Children as Soldiers in Darla,
02:56expressed his concerns about the Tindouf camps,
03:00highlighting the movement restrictions imposed on refugees,
03:03limiting their access to economic opportunities and contributing to their prolonged isolation,
03:08calling for a strict application of international humanitarian law to protect refugees.
03:13A discussion that has underlined the collective responsibility of the world community
03:18to protect the most vulnerable and to ensure that no more children are forced to bear the burden of armed conflicts.
03:25Point d'orgue of this side event,
03:28the experts unanimously called for an immediate action to end these devastating practices
03:33and to promote peace and security for future generations.
03:39Morocco and the United States launch the Group of Friends on Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Development.
03:44In New York, Omar Hilal and his American counterpart, Linda Thomas-Greenfield,
03:48proceeded to launch the group.
03:50This initiative comes after the adoption by the UN General Assembly
03:53of the first UN resolution on AI, initially co-sponsored by Morocco and the United States,
03:59as well as by 123 member states.
04:01I invite you to listen to the explanations of Amal Filhas Rousni,
04:04Executive President of AI Movement.
04:09Artificial intelligence has been identified as a real lever
04:14to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals
04:19that were defined in 2015 to the 2030 horizon.
04:23I could cite an article published in Nature,
04:26which is a very prestigious journal,
04:31published in 2020,
04:34which explains how artificial intelligence can achieve 79%
04:40of the Sustainable Development Goals to the 2030 horizon.
04:44The question we can ask ourselves is,
04:47how will AI help achieve these Sustainable Development Goals?
04:52Very quickly, when we talk about Sustainable Development,
04:56we refer to the definitions of this terminology
05:01to say that today we want solutions
05:05that allow us to solve the problems of the present
05:08without compromising future generations.
05:11That is to say, for example,
05:13we will not waste the resources of the planet
05:16to solve our energy or heating problems
05:20if our children and grandchildren may lack it
05:24because we will have consumed everything.
05:26This is just an example.
05:27AI will allow us to improve the school
05:31thanks to the improvement of learning.
05:34Today we see a lot of solutions
05:39to education and learning using artificial intelligence.
05:43In the field of health, AI has already proven itself
05:46in terms of prediction, recognition,
05:50identification of certain pathologies, etc.
05:54On the other hand, AI can help in what is called precision agriculture,
06:00that is to say, how to help farmers
06:04to have a better agriculture
06:06thanks to the technologies of artificial intelligence.
06:09AI can also help to design sustainable housing and transport.
06:16Israeli bombings continue to cause victims in the Gaza Strip.
06:20New targets are being targeted today in the east, west,
06:23and the center of the city of Rafah.
06:25Air strikes carried out by Tsar
06:27hit the north of the city of Gaza
06:29and tanks bombed the camp of Nusayrat in the center.
06:31Human losses are daily,
06:33compared to the increase of Israeli attacks in the Palestinian enclave.
06:36So far, there have been more than 37,590 deaths.
06:40The majority of the victims are women and children.
06:44In the meantime, the Israeli Minister of Defense
06:46went to the United States to deal with his ally on arms.
06:52According to the British Naval Security Agency,
06:55a merchant ship was damaged by a drone attack off Yemen.
07:00On Thursday, the U.S. Army announced
07:02that it had destroyed four unmanned vessels and two drones.
07:05Washington is calling on the Yemeni rebels
07:07to release humanitarian workers arrested at the beginning of the month.
07:10In addition to the attacks against ships,
07:12the Houthis have recently arrested
07:14more than a dozen humanitarian workers,
07:16accusing them of being part of an Israeli American espionage network.
07:19The Houthi rebels claimed several of these attacks,
07:22carried out in support of the Palestinian people, according to them.
07:26The world celebrates today the Day of Peace Consolidation.
07:30The Secretary-General of the United Nations
07:32has called for a collective leap
07:34to promote the cause of peace in the world.
07:36In a message, Antony Guterres emphasized
07:38the need to prioritize the temporary tools of dialogue,
07:41diplomacy and negotiation.
07:43The UN Secretary-General has insisted on prevention,
07:46as the new Agenda for Peace recommends,
07:49in order to instill confidence, to appease dissensions,
07:52to stimulate development,
07:54in order to indicate the waves of violence.
07:59In Ukraine, Russian strikes have killed
08:01about fifty people in Kharkiv.
08:03The Russian army has targeted this city
08:05close to its border with four guided air bombs.
08:08According to Vladimir Zelensky on Telegram,
08:11who had announced partial power cuts
08:13throughout the day on Monday across the country,
08:16the electrical networks are experiencing difficulties
08:18after the recent attacks carried out by the Russian army.
08:23In France, a week before the first legislative round,
08:26Emmanuel Macron's camp seeks to fill its delay
08:29on the left coalition and especially on the far right.
08:32According to the last two polls,
08:34the National Assembly and its allies
08:36would get between 35.5% and 36% of the votes.
08:40The new Popular Front would be credited with 27% to 29.5%
08:45of the voting intentions.
08:47And in several French cities,
08:49tens of thousands of people have gone down to the streets
08:53to denounce the danger of a victory
08:55from the National Assembly.
09:01President Kenyan said he was ready
09:03to discuss with thousands of young opponents
09:05about the new tax project.
09:07Despite the two deaths announced by human rights defenders,
09:10William Routteau also saluted this Sunday
09:12the pacifism of young people.
09:14Explanations with Soheil Gelil.
09:20President Routteau is ready to dialogue
09:22with the youth mobilized against the tax law.
09:25Young protesters took the government by surprise
09:28when discontent was accentuated
09:30about the economic policies
09:32planned in the framework of the PLF 2024-2025.
09:35To put an end to the popular struggle,
09:37President Kenyan said during a religious service
09:40in the city of Nyahourourou,
09:42more than 150 km north of Nairobi,
09:44that he was ready to discuss
09:46the grievances of Generation Z.
09:54I am very proud of our young people.
09:56They have affirmed themselves in a peaceful way
09:58and I want to tell them that we will discuss with them.
10:01We will have a conversation with you
10:03to identify your problems
10:05and work together as a nation.
10:13The head of the Kenyan state said he was proud
10:15to see the Kenyan youth get involved
10:17in the affairs of the country.
10:19On Thursday, several thousands of Generation Z
10:21took to the streets to demand the withdrawal
10:23of the public finance law project
10:25which plans to introduce new taxes.
10:27Their mobilization continues.
10:31Our young people took to the streets
10:33to discuss the affairs of the country.
10:35They did their democratic duty
10:37to assert themselves, to be recognized.
10:40On Thursday, two people died
10:42and dozens were injured
10:44during demonstrations in the capital.
10:46The demonstrations were largely peaceful
10:48but the police used tear gas
10:50and water cannons
10:52in the hope of dispersing the demonstrators
10:54near the parliament.
10:56It should be noted that Kenya,
10:58one of the most dynamic economies
11:00in East Africa,
11:02recorded an inflation of 5.1% per year
11:04with a rise in food and fuel prices
11:06of 6.2% and 7.8%
11:08according to the Central Bank.
11:10A third of its 51.5 million inhabitants
11:12live below the poverty line.
11:16The president of the Malian transition
11:18has inaugurated many infrastructures
11:20in the region of Sikasso,
11:22inaugurations that mainly
11:24focus on road infrastructure.
11:26This is a report by Mohamed Dagnoko.
11:28Many people took to the streets
11:30to demand the withdrawal
11:32of the 15,000 seats
11:34of the Bab Mbatraori stadium in Sikasso.
11:36This renovated stadium is part
11:38of the inaugurated infrastructures
11:40of the exchangers,
11:42which, according to the opinion
11:44of Sikasso's supporters,
11:46has changed the image of the city
11:48to highlight it at the level
11:50of other regions.
11:52It gives us a good heart.
11:54We are very, very happy
11:56with the acquisition of these
11:58instruments,
12:00especially the exchangers,
12:02the viaduct,
12:04which have really changed
12:06the physiognomy of the city of Sikasso.
12:08This is a transition
12:10with other regions of Mali,
12:12especially Cebu,
12:14which has its exchangers.
12:16The head of state
12:18proceeded during this visit
12:20to the remission of water
12:22and the laying of the first stone
12:24of the university of the city
12:26to the great happiness of the youngest.
12:28At the time, our students
12:30lost their studies
12:32because of sexual elegance
12:34and lack of housing
12:36and even lack of food
12:38at the level of Bamako and Cebu.
12:40But fortunately,
12:42we had a great university
12:44at the level of our regions.
12:46We are very proud.
12:48We are very happy.
12:50These initiatives and actions
12:52are part of the priorities
12:54of the authorities of the transition.
12:56The infrastructures constitute
12:58for the development of a country.
13:00The mayor,
13:02it is a health issue.
13:04The mayor,
13:06he understands the transition.
13:08The authorities of the transition
13:10have decided
13:12to take charge
13:14of the question
13:16of infrastructure
13:18and everything
13:20that concerns
13:22the development sections.
13:24In his speech,
13:26the president of the transition
13:28has engaged the Malians
13:30to fight together
13:32for economic and social development.
13:34The harvest season
13:36of sugar beetles
13:38has begun in the region of Jereb.
13:40A countryside that knows
13:42the use of the latest agricultural
13:44and technological equipment.
13:46According to forecasts,
13:48about 276,000 tons of sugar beetles
13:50will be produced this season.
13:52Development with Soheil Jalil.
13:54The process requires
13:56great precision
13:58and modern equipment.
14:00These machines
14:02tear the roots
14:04with great care
14:06to avoid damaging them.
14:08A crucial step
14:10for an important culture.
14:12It supports the local economy
14:14and provides a major source
14:16of sugar in Morocco.
14:18We are grateful
14:20for this harvest.
14:22Of course, we have known better,
14:24but the joint efforts
14:26of the farmers
14:28and the farmers themselves
14:30are a great benefit to us.
14:32The beetles' roots
14:34are collected
14:36in special trailers
14:38to be transported
14:40to the collection points
14:42or directly to the factories.
14:44It is a complete process
14:46that requires good coordination
14:48between farmers, factories
14:50and local infrastructures
14:52to ensure an efficient harvest
14:54and transformation.
14:56We find ourselves
14:58in the best land
15:00of this culture.
15:02It is the first on a national scale
15:04and the first in terms of production per hectare.
15:06This year,
15:08we have broken a new record
15:10of 113 tons per hectare.
15:12In our region,
15:14we have managed to extract
15:1698 tons per hectare.
15:185560 hectares
15:20is the surface
15:22cultivated in sugar beetles
15:24in the Rabat-Salé-Qnetra region.
15:26According to the Regional Agriculture
15:28Directorate,
15:30we plan to produce
15:32276,000 tons of beetles,
15:34while this year's yield
15:36is 53 tons per hectare
15:38versus 52 tons per hectare
15:40recorded in the previous season,
15:42an increase estimated at 3%.
15:44The heat wave
15:46continues in Morocco.
15:48The National Forestry Agency
15:50calls for vigilance
15:52against extreme forest fires
15:54in several provinces of the country.
15:56After analysing data
15:58on the type of forest
16:00and their levels of combustibility
16:02and flammability,
16:04the National Forestry Agency
16:06identified an extreme risk
16:08in the provinces of Tangier-Acela,
16:10Oujda-Hengad and Fas-Angela.
16:12The National Forestry Agency
16:14identified
16:16an extreme risk of fire
16:18in the northern provinces.
16:20Is it still the most exposed
16:22to the risk of fire?
16:24The answer is yes.
16:26In terms of mapping
16:28that we are developing,
16:30there are four levels.
16:32The red level,
16:34the orange level,
16:36the yellow level,
16:38and the green level
16:40without risk of fire.
16:42For this period of 3 to 4 days,
16:44the red level,
16:46the extreme level,
16:48the orange level,
16:50the yellow level,
16:52the green level,
16:54and the orange level.
16:56But the majority,
16:58as you said,
17:00is in the northern part.
17:02It comes down to three essential elements.
17:04The density of forest species
17:06in the region,
17:08from the Simas to the Arash,
17:10through Sichuan, Sichuan,
17:12Tangier, of course.
17:14The forest coverage rate
17:16The second element
17:18as a justification
17:20is that the species
17:22in these regions
17:24have a high calorific power
17:26in terms of the risk of fire
17:28and combustion.
17:30It is very high
17:32in terms of density,
17:34but of course this gradient of fire
17:36is at least
17:38level 6 on a scale
17:40of 9.
17:42The third element is the demographic pressure
17:44on human resources
17:46in the long term
17:48and foresters more specifically,
17:50knowing that this region
17:52is the only one
17:54that covers 50%
17:56of the forest problem
17:58and of course
18:00either voluntarily
18:02or involuntarily.
18:04These are the four elements.
18:06It is the density,
18:08the species of flammability
18:10and the power of pressure
18:12on human resources.
18:14More than 100 million Americans
18:16are placed on heat alert
18:18this weekend by the National Weather Service.
18:20A dangerous wave of heat
18:22is at the origin
18:24of exceptional temperatures
18:26in a large part of the United States.
18:28In Washington DC, Mercury
18:30exceeds 39 degrees.
18:32This is the first time
18:34that the American capital
18:36has recorded such a temperature since 2012.
18:38According to scientists,
18:40this is the highest temperature
18:42in the world.
18:44These waves of heat are called
18:46to multiply, last longer
18:48and intensify.
18:50A word of golf
18:52to finish with the
18:54Traveler's Championship.
18:56Yesterday, the American Cameron Young
18:58recorded a historic score of 59
19:00and remains in the top 10.
19:02For his part, the Korean Tom Kim
19:04will lead the last round
19:06of the last Signature Event
19:08and for his part,
19:10we finish with a score of
19:12minus 17.
19:22This is the end of the news.
19:24Thank you for watching.
