00:00Thank you for joining us for this round of news, here are the headlines.
00:20Legislative in France, without much surprise, the National Assembly has arrived largely
00:25ahead of the anticipated elections, already more than 150 candidates have given up to
00:30counter the far-right, the strong times of these legislatives in the course of this
00:35newspaper.
00:36The criminal humility of Donald Trump at the heart of the news in the United States,
00:41the US Supreme Court, the conservative majority, has sent today to the lower jurisdictions
00:47the question, still delaying its federal trial, four months from the presidential election.
00:54The rage of Casablanca has been judged, its ninth title of the Football Cup, the green
01:00have come to an end, rather than hope, on the score of 2-1 in a large stadium of Agadir,
01:05very full.
01:06We meet again right away for the development.
01:14Welcome ladies and gentlemen, and without further ado, place to our special file on
01:19legislative elections in France.
01:24The French voted massively yesterday for a first round of legislative elections, and
01:39without much surprise, the National Assembly has arrived largely ahead of the anticipated
01:44elections, with a participation rate evaluated at 66.71%.
01:50A new record is set for the benefit of the National Assembly, with more than 33% of
02:00votes and 10.6 million votes.
02:02The National Assembly and its allies get their best score in the first round of legislative
02:07elections.
02:0839 Le Pen candidates are thus elected.
02:11Marine Le Pen, Sébastien Chénuet and Julien Audoul appear among the list.
02:16The new popular front is positioned in second place, thus granting nearly 28% of the suffrages.
02:22The party already has 32 elected.
02:24The French president's poker move earned him third place, with only 20% of the votes.
02:30It's a defeat.
02:32It's a defeat for our majority.
02:34It's a defeat for our camp.
02:36It is indeed a historic moment of the recomposition of political forces in our country.
02:42And it fills me with a lot of sadness, because I see millions of voters who know perfectly
02:48well that the National Assembly is a danger for our nation, does not provide any necessary
02:54answers to the questions of our compatriots, and that today the real risk is to see the
03:02National Assembly arrive with an absolute majority next Sunday.
03:06Given this chaotic political situation, France is faced with two scenarios.
03:11Emmanuel Macron could be against an unprecedented cohabitation with the far right.
03:16But the scenario of a blocked National Assembly, without an envisageable majority alliance
03:21among the three blocs present, remains also a possibility.
03:25Negotiations for a dam are therefore being organized for the second round.
03:29The lesson of this evening is that the far right is at the door of power.
03:34In our democracy, the National Assembly has never risked being dominated by the far right.
03:41And so, our objective is clear.
03:44To prevent the National Assembly from having an absolute majority in the second round,
03:49to dominate the National Assembly, and therefore to govern the country with the funest project
03:54that is its own.
03:56Not a single vote should go to the National Assembly.
04:00In such circumstances, France deserves that we do not hesitate.
04:05Never.
04:06If we want to be up to the French destiny, it is our moral duty to do everything
04:12to prevent the worst from happening.
04:15The French Prime Minister has also confirmed that candidates from the Ensemble party
04:20would be forced to give up when they are in third position in circumstances
04:25where the National Assembly is in the lead.
04:27Several party candidates have already announced their resignation.
04:31Jean-Luc Mélenchon, in turn, announced that he would withdraw the candidates
04:35in circumstances where France Insoumise is in third position and where the National Assembly is in the lead.
04:42The far right, it, asked the French to give it next Sunday an absolute majority in the second round.
04:48A scenario that will be one of the most decisive in the history of the 5th French Republic, founded in 1958.
04:55And if Jordan Bardella became Prime Minister,
04:58it would be the first time that a government from the far right would lead France since the Second World War.
05:07A rise of the far right clearly confirmed in France during these anticipated legislations.
05:13According to Zakaria Aboudab, professor of international relations,
05:16what emerges from this unprecedented scrutiny in the hexagon is also the division of the presidential majority.
05:23Let's listen to his analysis.
05:25First, it is a trend that is confirmed following the European elections.
05:29We have seen a clear progression of the National Assembly,
05:34which ultimately constituted a kind of political surprise.
05:38But today, well, yesterday, June 30, the trend is confirmed, or even a little more.
05:45We also see that there is a crack in the Macronist bloc,
05:49with a regression, if you will.
05:53And then, finally, it shows that the downward trend is confirmed.
05:58In relation to a popular front, the new popular front has been revised,
06:04led by Mr Mélenchon, who tries to take advantage of the conjuncture
06:09to form majorities, sometimes I would say conjunctural.
06:13Maybe we will come back to this, because there is a certain technicality
06:16in relation to formulas that viewers must easily understand,
06:21especially what is called triangular,
06:23that is, alliances that can be led by a candidate,
06:28even though he does not have a general ideological seat,
06:32shared by several parties that decide to support him.
06:35So, presumably today, we are in a political turnaround, if you will,
06:41in relation to French political life, but with regional implications.
06:46Maybe we will come back to this, but it is clear that today,
06:49the time of the political turnaround has sounded, according to the French,
06:53but we still need a bit of hindsight, Madam.
06:56We need a bit of modesty, but also humility on the intellectual level,
07:01because we need hindsight on the level of sociological analysis,
07:05of political sociology, in a deep way.
07:08It must also be said that there are other ways that are being counted
07:11in the so-called overseas territories.
07:13And so, finally, in a few hours,
07:16maybe we will have exactly clear the electoral political cartography
07:22of today's France at the end of the scrutiny of June 30, 2024.
07:27Obviously, we have to wait for the second round,
07:29soon, on July 7th.
07:32And so, it is time for the negotiations to face the rise of the far right,
07:37as our special envoy to Paris, Bassam Nejar, explains.
07:41We are right now in front of the Palace of the Elysée,
07:44where President Emmanuel Macron spent the last hours in consultation
07:48with his teams to try to find a strategy to counter the rise of the far right
07:54during his legislative elections.
07:57Macron, who asked that each circumscription be studied
08:02to find alliances, including with the left, against the Nationalist Party.
08:07Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who clearly said
08:10that not a single vote should go to the Nationalist Party.
08:13Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leader of the new Popular Front,
08:19declared yesterday that the results recorded during this first round
08:23represented a defeat of President Macron.
08:26Mélenchon, who also called the candidates of his party,
08:29who finished third in this first round,
08:32to withdraw in favor of the other candidates,
08:36of the other parties during the second round,
08:38to block the far right.
08:40Marine Le Pen, the president of the National Assembly,
08:44who thanked yesterday the supporters of his party for the score recorded
08:48during this first round,
08:50declared that the objective now is to obtain the absolute majority
08:55during the second round.
08:57Next Sunday, the same wish of Jordan Bardella,
09:00who added that in case of victory of his party,
09:03he will be the Prime Minister of all the French.
09:06Let's just recall the final results published by the Ministry of the Interior
09:11this night.
09:13The Nationalist Party, which obtained 33.14% of the votes,
09:17the new Popular Front, 27.99%.
09:20The majority of the government obtained 20.76%.
09:26Let's just recall that 305 circumscriptions will be concerned
09:31by triangulars during the second round.
09:34Next Sunday, a record in the history of these legislative elections.
09:39The day after the victory of the Nationalists,
09:42more than 150 candidates from the left or the presidential camp
09:46qualified for the second round of the French legislative elections
09:50have already resigned.
09:52The goal is to counter the far right.
09:54The list is called to evolve until tomorrow,
09:57with the goal set for the qualified candidates
09:59to decide whether to stay or not in the second round planned for Sunday.
10:03For the time being, the 155 resigned candidates
10:07are all candidates engaged in triangular elections
10:12and, for the most part, arrived in third position
10:15in circumscriptions where the Nationalist Party
10:18could be able to win.
10:24The time is now for political calculations and alliances,
10:27which could potentially reduce the chances of the Nationalist Party
10:31and its allies in France.
10:33But for Zakaria Abou-Dahab,
10:35professor of international relations,
10:37the real issue is that of the presidential election in 2027.
10:41It will be difficult because the scores,
10:44let's say the National Assembly is at about 33%,
10:47the new Popular Front is at 28-29%,
10:52the presidential majority,
10:54that is to say the party or the Macronists, if you will,
10:57is at 20-21%,
10:59and the Republicans are at 9%.
11:02And when I say the Republicans,
11:04there is a kind of confusion
11:06in relation to this party
11:08because its president is always considered
11:11as if he had left the party,
11:15but he chose to stay in the National Assembly.
11:20So the first scenario is a bit of a blockade.
11:24No party or no poll will have the absolute majority.
11:28As a result, it will pose a lot of problems in terms of majority.
11:32Finally, the question arises, Mr. President Macron,
11:35which type of majority will he govern with?
11:37Secondly, I believe that at this point
11:40we need to go back to the French constitutional text,
11:43the 1958 constitution,
11:45and see what it allows us to see
11:47in terms of escapism or solutions
11:50in relation to fundamental issues.
11:52But personally, my reading of things,
11:55we are in a deep political and social transition
11:59at the level of France.
12:01Perhaps we need to look beyond,
12:03today or even in 2027,
12:05with the presidential election
12:07which will access the Elysée.
12:09And subsequently, we can imagine
12:11the scenario of a dissolution of the National Assembly,
12:13of course, with the Senate.
12:15Here we are talking about the French Parliament.
12:17New elections.
12:19So finally, today, there is the short and the medium,
12:21but there is the long term.
12:23All experts agree, French or other,
12:25that today it is difficult to speak
12:27about the political configuration
12:29of July 7th,
12:31but it will be extremely difficult.
12:34It seems to me that no party,
12:36a priori, will have the absolute majority,
12:38which will subsequently call
12:40a kind of, I don't know,
12:42a moment of reflection,
12:44but a government that will try
12:46to manage the transition
12:48to speak up for the presidential elections.
12:50This time,
12:52the challenge is fundamental,
12:54that of 2027.
13:06During the presidential election in Mauritania,
13:08the outgoing president,
13:10Mohamed Ould Cheikh el-Ghazouani,
13:12was re-elected from the first round
13:14for a second mandate,
13:16with 56.12% of the votes.
13:18This is what the National Independent Electoral Commission
13:20said in front of the press.
13:22El-Ghazouani is largely ahead
13:24of his main rival,
13:26the anti-slavery militant
13:28Biramda Abeid,
13:30who gets 22.10%.
13:32He has announced since yesterday
13:34that he will not recognize the results
13:36of the election.
13:40In the Middle East,
13:42the Israeli army has ordered
13:44a new evacuation of the sectors
13:46of Gouvernorat, Jalounès and Rafah
13:48in the south of the Gaza Strip,
13:50where hundreds of thousands
13:52of Palestinians have already fled
13:54the fighting.
13:56The evacuation has been ordered
13:58in the localities of Al-Karara,
14:00Bani Suheila and other cities
14:02in the east of these two Gouvernorats,
14:04indicated by the spokesman
14:06of the Avishai Adraei army.
14:10In the direction of Gaza,
14:12where the situation is getting worse
14:14day by day,
14:16more than 900 Palestinian civilians
14:18have been killed in Israeli bombings
14:20since October 7.
14:22Many air strikes
14:24have targeted the city
14:26as well as Rafah and Jalounès.
14:28In the last 24 hours,
14:30at least 23 people have been killed.
14:32In addition,
14:34more than 87,000 Palestinians
14:36have been injured.
14:40In the United States,
14:42the Supreme Court,
14:44which Donald Trump
14:46benefits from partial immunity
14:48for his actions
14:50in the White House,
14:52considers that the President
14:54does not enjoy any immunity
14:56for his unofficial acts,
14:58but that he also has the right
15:00at least to a presumption of immunity
15:02for his official acts.
15:06The Supreme Court
15:08grants Trump partial immunity,
15:10a victory for the ex-president.
15:12The Supreme Court
15:14has also sent back
15:16to the lower jurisdictions
15:18the question of Donald Trump's
15:20penal immunity as ex-president,
15:22while they will have to determine
15:24whether the actions
15:26reproached to the Republican candidate
15:28are considered official or unofficial,
15:30which still delays the holding
15:32of his federal trial,
15:34a decision that pushes many Americans
15:36to believe that the Republican candidate
15:38thinks he is above the law.
15:42We have to say no,
15:44a big no to tyrants,
15:46a big no to the radical right,
15:48a big no to the Supreme Court
15:50for supporting this guy,
15:52and a big no to the Republican Party
15:54which has abandoned
15:56and leaves Trump alone.
15:58He is not a savior,
16:00he is the devil.
16:04In my opinion,
16:06this is a corrupt court
16:08which has shaken things so much
16:10that Donald Trump will not have a trial
16:12before the elections.
16:14The American people had the right to it,
16:16innocent or not,
16:18the people had the right to it.
16:20Aimed at four distinct
16:22criminal proceedings,
16:24Donald Trump goes all out
16:26to go to trial as late as possible,
16:28at least after the presidential scrutiny.
16:30By force of recourse,
16:32Donald Trump's lawyers have managed
16:34to push the other federal trials
16:36to a new order
16:38after his departure from the White House
16:40and before the court of the key state of Georgia
16:42for an election in 2020.
16:44If he were re-elected,
16:46Donald Trump could once again,
16:48in January 2025,
16:50order the suspension of federal proceedings
16:52against him.
16:54In the direction of Nigeria,
16:56where the report of the four suicide attacks
16:58perpetrated on Saturday in Gvoza,
17:00in the northeast of Nigeria,
17:02so it's heavy, 32 dead,
17:04was declared on Monday.
17:06President Kachim Shetima
17:08said, so far, 32 people
17:10have lost their lives and 42 injured
17:12have been brought back from Gvoza,
17:14he said.
17:16A previous report provided by
17:18local emergency services
17:20stated 18 dead,
17:22Gvoza overpopulated
17:24nearly 400,000 inhabitants
17:26and was therefore the theater of this weekend
17:28of four suicide attacks,
17:30almost simultaneous,
17:32including at least three perpetrated by Kamikaze women.
17:36The recent
17:38anti-government demonstrations
17:40broke out
17:42in Kenya to protest
17:44against a new tax project.
17:4639 people have died,
17:48the official human rights
17:50protection agency
17:52said today.
17:54According to our data,
17:5639 people have died
17:58and 361 others have been injured.
18:00As part of the demonstrations
18:02in the country,
18:04the National Kenyan Commission
18:06on Human Rights
18:08reported.
18:10From the 1st to the 4th
18:12July, Rabat welcomed
18:14the 69th Executive Council
18:16and the 28th General Assembly
18:18of the Arab Civil Aviation
18:20Organization.
18:22On the agenda of this 69th session,
18:24several points related to the
18:26follow-up of the recommendations of the
18:2868th Council meeting
18:30and the approval of the technical committees
18:32of the Marajama Ali
18:34and Younes Misouri organization
18:36for the explanations in this story
18:38by Emma Fikry.
18:40The meeting of the Executive Council
18:42of the Arab Civil Aviation
18:44Organization,
18:46an annual tradition to discuss
18:48organizational and financial affairs
18:50of the organization and establish
18:52a roadmap for its work
18:54from 2025-2026.
18:56A charged program and a strong
18:58participation of members and delegations
19:00are recorded.
19:02In this 69th Assembly,
19:04we look at
19:06strengthening.
19:08During this 69th meeting,
19:10we aspire to strengthen and develop
19:12the work of Arab countries
19:14in the civil aviation industry.
19:16This is a pillar of the economy.
19:18It allows to link the various
19:20countries of the world and especially to link
19:22the Arab countries with each other.
19:24We must be up to date with the
19:26global development of civil aviation
19:28New needs are constantly
19:30emerging. These are in particular
19:32related to the environment
19:34and the consequences of aviation
19:36on this one.
19:44The objective of this meeting
19:46is to elect members of the Executive Council
19:48and technical committees of the organization
19:50in addition to the deliberation on
19:52Arab candidacies at the ICAO Council.
19:54The Executive Council
19:56of the Arab organization
19:58is considered as an
20:00administration council of this institution.
20:02We have an agenda that will
20:04allow us to debate
20:06important issues.
20:08For example, the increase
20:10of the number of seats in the ICAO Council.
20:12This subject is of great importance
20:14for the Arab countries
20:16and for this Council.
20:18I would like to clarify that this is the last
20:20meeting of this one during its current mandate.
20:22One of the highlights
20:24of this meeting
20:26is the common partnerships
20:28and the entry into view
20:30that the Arab institution
20:32is among the Arab and international
20:34organizations of civil aviation.
20:36The Executive Council
20:38of the organization is composed
20:40of nine member states elected
20:42by the General Assembly every two years.
20:44This one includes
20:46all member states and constitutes
20:48the highest authority of the organization.
20:50The Council aims to examine
20:52and discuss ways to implement
20:54the strategic objectives of the organization
20:56and to promote a common action
20:58to advance the industry
21:00of civil aviation in the Arab countries.
21:04Another sport in this newspaper
21:06for the ninth time in its history,
21:08the Raja of Casablanca.
21:10The Cup of Football was judged.
21:12It is in a great stadium of Agadir
21:14in Emunition that the champions
21:16Botella in title
21:18and Yusri Bouzouk
21:20opened the mark
21:22for the green and white
21:24before Amine Zourzour
21:26equalized for the military.
21:28Mohamed Boulaksout
21:30marked the goal
21:32of the delivery for the Casablanca.
21:38And it is on these words of hope
21:40that this newspaper ends.
21:42Thank you for following it.
21:44The news returns on Median TV Africa.
21:48Good bye.
