00:00Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Mediain TV.
00:15It's a pleasure to have you with us to talk about the news.
00:18Here are the headlines.
00:19In France, the National Assembly has arrived at the forefront of the first round of legislation,
00:27and will return to the issues of these elections in a few moments.
00:33Second day of voting in Mauritania, after the removal of more than 90% of the votes,
00:37the outgoing president is in the lead with more than 55% of the votes.
00:43In Tunisia, the decline of political parties on Kayseri worries the approach of the presidential election.
00:48How to explain such a trend?
00:50Answer in this newspaper.
00:55We start this newspaper with this statement from the Ministry of the Royal House,
00:58the Protocol and the Chancellery.
01:00Following the announcement of the death of His Royal Highness Princess Lalala Teffa,
01:04that God has incarcerated her,
01:06a malicious use has been found on social networks of non-authentic and false photographs
01:11attributed to His Royal Highness Princess Lalala Teffa.
01:15The Ministry of the Royal House, the Protocol and the Chancellery
01:18call on all citizens to respect the infringing laws and the mourning of the illustrious royal family.
01:25We now place our special file on legislative elections in France.
01:42The National Assembly arrived largely in the lead this Sunday of the first round of legislative elections,
01:47a historic scrutineering that could open the doors of power to the far right.
01:51The National Assembly is the winner with 34% of the votes,
01:55followed by the New Popular Front with more than 28%.
01:58And finally, the presidential majority, which has collected more than 20% of the votes.
02:02We have noticed a strong influx today in the polling stations,
02:05with parades of political personalities.
02:07Procurations also know a number of records.
02:10More than 2 million French people voted.
02:13The participation rate exceeded 59% against 39% in 2022.
02:22And to analyze these historical results with us,
02:24Bachir Thiam, journalist and specialist in public relations.
02:28Good evening.
02:29Good evening.
02:30So, the French have voted massively today.
02:33The participation rate has reached 59%,
02:36that is, 20 points more than in 2022.
02:39This is the highest rate recorded since the first round of legislative elections in 1978.
02:44How to explain such a surge?
02:46Well, we will say that France was afraid.
02:49Indeed, France was afraid of leaving the European elections already.
02:55I think the big bang was there, and then everyone said to themselves,
02:58what's going to happen?
03:01By saying that, I think it sounded a bit like mobilization of troops.
03:05Everyone said to themselves, we have to vote.
03:07You talked about the procurations for the vote,
03:12because it coincides with the start of the big summer holidays,
03:15the summer holidays, this first weekend that we just spent.
03:19And then the next round will also be at the heart of these holidays.
03:21So what should we do?
03:23We really had to go to these procurations.
03:25You gave the figures.
03:26It's 2.7 million procurations that have been given to vote
03:30in the place of people who are not available.
03:322.7 million?
03:34Yes, it's huge.
03:35So it really shows the mobilization,
03:38the strong participation of the French in these elections.
03:40Because very often, you also reminded us,
03:42the last round was in 1901.
03:45Now we are in 2022, 2024, sorry.
03:50We are in 2024.
03:50Indeed, the mobilization was really reminded to everyone.
03:54And everyone also mobilized to tell others,
03:56mobilize yourself, even if you can't be present.
03:59Let yourself be represented.
04:00And what has been done, I think it is also very important for these elections,
04:04because the issues, we have talked about them all day, are important.
04:07And it is also impactful for our countries in general too.
04:10We can say to ourselves, well, what will happen to us?
04:12Because we are still at the heart of the targets of these elections.
04:16Because everything has revolved around immigration,
04:19around security, about Islam,
04:21about all these issues that concern us,
04:25that partly concern migrants who also come from our country
04:28and who are in France,
04:30sometimes for studies, others for work,
04:32others also to seek a better life in fact.
04:36So, to come back a little on these first results,
04:39the results announcing the winning RN with more than 34% of the votes.
04:45Can you give us a little analysis on these results?
04:48Yes, also, there too, we may have to go even more slowly,
04:51because we are only in the first round.
04:53And I think that if we review a little the candidate of the RN,
04:58the bearer of the project, in any case Bardella,
05:00who told us that if he does not have the majority,
05:02if he is not elected to the majority, apart from the French,
05:05he will not govern.
05:07So, first, he has to pass.
05:09And we are only in the first round.
05:11So, and then the second round is in a week.
05:13I think that already there is a mobilization of other parties,
05:16in any case of other alliances,
05:18who already want to block the road to the RN.
05:23It is not won, it simply means that it is not won.
05:26Bardella, certainly, his party, the RN,
05:29plus the coalition that he set up in the last minute with Eric Ciotti,
05:34the former Republican.
05:37Yes, precisely, I was going to come to Emmanuel Macron,
05:40just after the results were expressed,
05:42to call for a large gathering of Democrats and Republicans.
05:47Moreover, we can say that a front against the RN has just been formed.
05:52Could these two blocs block the RN?
05:54Yes, it still depends on the mobilization in the second round.
05:57Indeed, and the reports of votes,
05:58because we do not know to whom these reports of votes will go.
06:01That is the reality.
06:03Because there have also been many questions to demonize the left front a little bit.
06:06In any case, one of the parties of the left front,
06:09in this case, the French Insoumise, the LFI.
06:14Many have turned around these questions,
06:16around the person of Jean-Luc Mélenchon,
06:18who is a bit different, it must be said,
06:20but he is a strong personality.
06:22They have focused on this by saying that,
06:25well, for some who wanted to demonize,
06:27they said, well, he will never be the French Prime Minister.
06:30Others said, well, he himself came out to say,
06:32but calm down, there is no danger for me.
06:34I am a non-candidate at all,
06:36I am a non-candidate at all,
06:37so why are you turning around the pot and talking only about me?
06:41However, the question was really,
06:42these were political questions that had to be asked.
06:44No, they still wanted to put a stop to it
06:47to actually manipulate public opinion.
06:50Because, precisely, the vote today that is decided,
06:53in any case, if it continues like this,
06:55it will simply be a vote of rejection of the party in power,
06:58so the Macronists in this case.
07:00And today we have seen,
07:01even the results of the Macronists were not bad.
07:03At 20%, it was not bad at all,
07:06because all the analysts were waiting,
07:08were waiting for it to really fall apart,
07:11from the first round.
07:12Well, that was not the case.
07:14Now, the whole game will take place in the second round.
07:16We'll see what happens in a week.
07:18So, with this participation rate that has exceeded 59%,
07:23that is, 20 points more than in 2022,
07:26can we say that this year
07:27there has been a greater mobilization of French youth?
07:32For the moment, we do not yet have the details of the figures.
07:34We do not know who has mobilized.
07:35In any case, there was a lot more participation, that's clear.
07:38Now, are there more young people?
07:39Maybe yes, because young people have been raised this time
07:42much more than in the past.
07:44And many young people have also expressed themselves.
07:47It must be said, because young people,
07:49we will take an example, Mbappé, who is also young,
07:52who is a footballer, who is young, who is a star,
07:54has pronounced himself very clearly
07:57to make barriers to the extreme,
07:59as he said at the beginning.
08:01Now, the extremes, according to the definitions,
08:04some say it is the left, the extreme left and the extreme right.
08:08And the girls do not consider themselves as an extreme.
08:11So, for them, it's a left party, it's a point bar.
08:14So, they say to themselves, well, listen, we are not part of it.
08:16So, those who are going to be blocked so as not to move forward,
08:22it is rather the extreme right, RN, in this case.
08:25So, Mbappé spoke, he trained a lot of friends from the club to speak too.
08:30All this can have an impact on the decision of young people.
08:34Young people are also influenced by their idols, their stars,
08:39the people they follow on social networks.
08:41So, it can actually mean that young people have been much more sensitized,
08:45even if we do not yet have real data.
08:48In any case, for the moment, we do not know who voted, who mobilized.
08:51But the whole of France mobilized, on the other hand.
08:53In any case, we are more exposed to political information
08:56through social networks today.
08:57Thank you, Bachir Thiam, for all these clarifications.
09:00I remind you that you are a journalist and a specialist in public relations.
09:04Thank you, Nora.
09:07And we continue this newspaper with the National Assembly in France,
09:12which has recorded outstanding performances since the 2014 European elections.
09:16Since then, the far-right party has never fallen below 20%,
09:20culminating in 28% in the last regional elections.
09:23Details with Cheyma Effekri.
09:28A rise in the far-right is gradually settling in the hexagon.
09:32Scoring between 10 and 15% at the beginning of the 2000s,
09:36far-right parties now total around 30% of the votes.
09:40Moreover, in the first round of the presidential elections of 2022,
09:43far-right parties have obtained a total of more than 33% of the votes.
09:48A percentage that has allowed them to record a record.
09:52The rise in votes for this political family would be due to several factors.
09:56But it would be mainly the result of the various crises
09:59that the country has experienced for many years.
10:01The 2008 economic crisis, the rise in real estate prices in the following years,
10:06the Covid pandemic, the war in Ukraine,
10:08which then provoked an energy crisis and a strong inflation.
10:12Consequences?
10:12Reinforcement of inequalities and a decrease in purchasing power.
10:16All these problems have not only impacted the French,
10:18but have also alarmed them.
10:20Some have therefore found refuge in the ideas of the far-right,
10:24according to French political analysts.
10:26All these topics are very much taken up by the National Assembly.
10:30Result?
10:31Nearly 40% of French people consider the National Assembly
10:34as a party close to their concerns.
10:36Others sometimes seem to choose to vote for the far-right,
10:39rather by contest than by agreement with the political ideas carried by these parties.
10:44Proof of this in January 2024.
10:47Only 9% of French people considered themselves as far-right.
10:51A percentage showing a total contradiction
10:54with the high scores of the parties belonging to this political family.
10:57The rise in votes for the RN is also the result of the popularity of its leader,
11:02with nearly 40% of favourable opinions.
11:05Jordan Bardella is the head of the most appreciated list.
11:08As an example, far behind him is the current Minister of Foreign Affairs,
11:13Stéphane Séjourné,
11:14whom nearly 80% of French people say they do not even know.
11:20A legislative scrutiny with multiple issues.
11:23Jean-François Poli, Director of the Mediterranean Institute of Law and Geopolitics,
11:28reminds us.
11:30The issues are multiple.
11:33The first issue is to know what the results will be
11:39when the polls are out,
11:40in the form of three blocks or two blocks.
11:45A block around the new Popular Front,
11:49another block around the National Assembly,
11:53and a third block with the presidential majority.
11:59With an uncertainty, or at least a question,
12:03about the distribution of votes,
12:06the suffrage between these three blocks.
12:09The latest polls give a strong will to vote
12:16in favour of the National Assembly
12:18and in second place of the new Popular Front.
12:22We can expect anything.
12:23Sometimes the polls are not reliable.
12:26So we can expect surprises.
12:28The question is to know
12:29whether the development of the electorate of the National Assembly
12:35will be as strong as the polls indicate
12:40and whether this development will give an important majority
12:45to the National Assembly,
12:47possibly allowing it to be in a position to govern.
12:51So the question will be to know
12:54what the number of suffrages will be
12:57awarded to the new Popular Front
12:59and to the parties of the presidential majority.
13:03What are the possible alliances
13:05after this first round of legislative elections in France?
13:08An element of answer with Jean-François Poli,
13:10Director of the Mediterranean Institute of Law and Geopolitics.
13:15Everything is possible because we have seen in recent years
13:18that parties or personalities
13:21that were previously rather opposed
13:24have rallied to majorities that have just been created.
13:28So the field is quite open.
13:31The field of the possible is quite open.
13:34So we can hardly imagine that there is an alliance
13:37between the National Assembly and the new Popular Front.
13:40Now there may be alliances
13:42between the groups constituted around the National Assembly
13:47and certain members of the Republicans
13:50to eventually give a majority,
13:53as there may be alliances between the new Popular Front
13:56and the presidential majority to also constitute a majority.
14:00It will all depend on the number of suffrages
14:03that one or the other will have collected
14:06and we will be able to dig up hypotheses
14:09at the end of this first round
14:13that will allow us to identify the balance of power.
14:20The second day of voting in Mauritania.
14:29The time is still at the end of this presidential scrutiny.
14:32So far, nearly 90% of the results have been compiled.
14:36On the website of the Electoral Commission,
14:37the outgoing president is still in charge of the suffrages
14:40with 55% of the votes.
14:42Mohamed Cheikh Ould Rizwani is followed by the human rights activist
14:46Biram Daabayde with nearly 23%.
14:48The final results will be known later tomorrow.
14:54And for the Mauritanian journalist Bakary Gueye,
14:56editor-in-chief of the Initiative News website,
15:00this presidential scrutiny will be in favour of the outgoing president.
15:03I suggest you listen to his analysis.
15:05There is no surprise at all.
15:06We have seen that the outgoing president,
15:08candidate Mohamed Bouchef Rizwani,
15:11is in charge of the provisional results
15:16that are already on the Senate website.
15:18These are results that are given in real time.
15:22We can practically say that yes, the dice are cast
15:26because with 55% and 80% of the results that are already there,
15:31President Rizwani has left for a second term.
15:36The remaining results will come from within the country,
15:42from deep Mauritania,
15:43which is generally largely in favour of the outgoing president.
15:47In any case, so far, we have the impression
15:50that it is a duel between the candidate,
15:53the outgoing president, Mohamed Bouchef Rizwani,
15:57and the human rights activist, Biram Daabayde.
16:00The other candidates have not reacted so far
16:04to this compilation of results.
16:07We have the impression that they do not feel concerned.
16:10Yesterday, some of them reacted
16:14by underlining certain irregularities.
16:17This is the case, for example, of the candidate Hamadi
16:20of the Islamist party,
16:22who spoke of certain irregularities
16:25in certain offices within the country.
16:29There is also the candidate Soumari
16:31who also spoke of these irregularities.
16:35But all this had been swept away by the CNI,
16:41who said that there were no irregularities at all
16:43and that the scrutiny was carried out
16:45under normal conditions of transparency.
16:49268th day of war in Gaza
16:52and still no respite, the Palestinian enclave
16:54continues to be the target of intense Israeli strikes.
16:58Israeli bombings have targeted the north of the enclave,
17:01forcing thousands of people to flee their homes
17:04to escape the Israeli war machine
17:06that has so far killed more than 37,800 Palestinian civilians.
17:13And during this time, the negotiations to reach a ceasefire
17:16are staggering, according to a Hamas official.
17:19These negotiations are on the verge of death,
17:21just as the American proposal, a plan presented at the end of May
17:24by Joe Biden, planned a six-week ceasefire
17:27accompanied by an Israeli withdrawal
17:29from the densely populated areas of Gaza,
17:31in addition to the liberation of certain Palestinian hostages
17:34held by Israel.
17:38In Tunisia this time, the role of political parties
17:41is in decline since the takeover of power of Kayseride.
17:44How to explain such a trend?
17:46An element of response with Nejoa Becha from Tunisia.
17:50In Tunisia, there is a huge gap
17:53in relations between the Tunisian political class
17:55and those in power.
17:57Today, and a few months before the presidential elections,
18:00special organizations in electoral affairs
18:03claim that political parties,
18:05which are in principle the guarantors of diversity
18:08and political alternation,
18:10shine in Tunisia through their absence.
18:14The absence of political parties will certainly have
18:17a significant impact on the participation rates
18:21in the next elections.
18:22All the more so since it is the parties that mobilize,
18:26who push citizens to vote,
18:28and carry out the candidacy process.
18:30This is why the absence of political parties today
18:33has created a great void,
18:35whether in terms of presidential elections
18:39or in terms of the discussion of decrees and laws.
18:44On our side, political analysts say
18:47that the problem of the political class
18:49is the black decade
18:51that has made it lose its credibility.
18:54The absurdity of the parties
18:56over the last decade
18:58is the reason that led them to this stage
19:01and to this situation.
19:03No party has proceeded
19:05to a process of self-criticism or revision.
19:08No law prevents the people
19:10from supporting the parties.
19:12But there is today a gap
19:14between the Tunisian people
19:16and the parties,
19:18a historical break with them.
19:24There are more than 220 political parties in Tunisia,
19:28but it would be difficult for anyone
19:30to name more than a dozen parties,
19:33most of which were created by adventurers
19:37after the revolution,
19:39taking advantage of the climate,
19:41freedom and revolutionary credulity.
19:44But almost all the parties that exist today
19:47are the parties that already existed
19:49before the revolution
19:51or that emerged
19:53after the seizure of power
19:55by Press Assaid on July 25, 2021.
19:57They owe their notoriety
19:59to their media presence.
20:01On the ground,
20:03they feel non-existent.
20:07In Nigeria, at least 18 people
20:09were killed and dozens more injured
20:11yesterday in several suicide attacks.
20:13The attacks took place in the city of Goza,
20:15in the state of Borno.
20:17According to local police,
20:19a suicide attack first killed six people
20:21and injured three others.
20:23Since nearly 15 years,
20:25terrorist violence in Nigeria
20:27has killed more than 40,000 people
20:29and forced about 2 million people
20:31to move to the northeast of the country.
20:33In Senegal, the rainy season
20:35is coming to a close.
20:37Heavy rainfall creates floods
20:39and deadly floods every year.
20:41To deal with this,
20:43the government has launched
20:45its plan of rest and prevention
20:47against floods.
20:49Tiamegen, a neighborhood
20:51in the Dakar suburbs.
20:53In this area, as in others,
20:55the red alert has been launched.
20:57Here, it is an area
20:59at high risk of flooding.
21:01Samath has been fighting
21:03the phenomenon for 18 years.
21:05He welcomes us in one
21:07of the reservoirs of the
21:09rainy waters of the neighborhood.
21:11We are currently at the level
21:13of Samsam 3, in the Samsam basin.
21:15Currently, there are projects
21:17that are under way
21:19but that are not yet finished.
21:21In Tiamegen,
21:23in Talimam,
21:25they have started the re-profiling.
21:27At our level,
21:29we have started almost two months ago
21:31the curing
21:33and drainage of certain areas.
21:35This year,
21:37innovation has been brought
21:39by the new government
21:41in the policy of flooding management.
21:43This is a community approach.
21:45The technical services,
21:47the DPGI,
21:49have associated the actors
21:51because if we cannot fight
21:53this phenomenon,
21:55because it is a recurring phenomenon
21:57that has been hurting the population
21:59for so many years,
22:01to face this phenomenon,
22:03we need a unitary dynamic.
22:05On the ground,
22:07works are also underway
22:09for the drainage of the canoes
22:11and the storage of the basins
22:13Here, at the Ministry of Direction,
22:15we are developing
22:17a large project
22:19called the Integrated Flooding Management Project
22:21in Senegal
22:23with four components
22:25including
22:27one of the components
22:29is the implementation
22:31of a geographical information system
22:33applied to the mapping
22:35of flooding risks
22:37and areas
22:39on a mass communication
22:41and an institutional communication.
22:43The Director of Prevention
22:45and Flooding Management
22:47of Complété
22:49We will make available
22:51territorial authorities,
22:53administrative authorities,
22:55all these maps that we are producing
22:57and especially the digital terrain model
22:59that allows us to see
23:01dormant hydrographic networks,
23:03i.e. streams,
23:05lakes, which do not exist today
23:07but which can reappear
23:09on the occasion of an exceptional rain.
23:11The head of the Senegalese state
23:13has also launched the
