00:23million voters are called to vote this Sunday, at 12 o'clock the participation rate was
00:29increased to 26.63% compared to the same time at the first round, details to be followed

00:3616 people have still lost their lives in an infamous Israeli offensive which this time
00:43targeted a school in Nusr-et, the last state report of more than 38,153 Palestinians killed
00:51since the beginning of the war.
00:55It is in a tense political context that is held today in Abuja, the summit of the CEDEAO,
01:00a meeting that takes place 24 hours after the decision of the leaders of the ADS to
01:05unite within a confederation.
01:07We meet again right now for the development.
01:13Welcome ladies and gentlemen, this Sunday corresponds to the first Muharram of the new
01:17year of the Egypt 1446, on this occasion His Majesty King Mohammed VI Amir al-Mu'minin
01:24presented his wishes to the heads of state of the Islamic countries.
01:28The sovereign expresses his congratulations and his best wishes, imploring the very high
01:34to make this new year a good and happy year for the Islamic Ummah.
01:43Let's stay in Morocco, where five players of the football club of Lithiad Riady of Tangier
01:49were victims yesterday of a maritime incident off the coast of Mdir,
01:54on board a boat of complacency.
01:57Members of the IRT, including a player of the 1st Division,
02:01jumped from the boat to swim a few 800 meters from the coast.
02:08Strong gusts of wind deported the yacht further from the area where the victims swam,
02:16so without means of transport, the elements of the Royal Gendarmerie and the Royal Navy
02:22managed to rescue four people, while another was taken missing.
02:29Place now to our special file on legislative elections in France.
02:34This Sunday is a big turning point in French political history.
02:38Some 49.3 million voters are called to vote for the second round of legislative elections.
02:44After the departments of Outremer, which voted yesterday,
02:48it is now the turn of La Métropole.
02:51At 12 o'clock, the participation rate was at the highest level in France,
02:56with the majority of the voters in La Métropole.
03:01At 12 o'clock, the participation rate was at 26.63%,
03:06against 25.9% at the same time as the first round,
03:11and also at the lowest level, so 1981, as indicated by the Ministry of the Interior.
03:22This poll is placed under high surveillance.
03:27Authorities fear riots after the results.
03:31On Friday, the Minister of the Interior, General de Darmanin,
03:35mobilized 30,000 police officers and gendarmes
03:38to prevent the ultra-left and the ultra-right from creating disorder.
03:46Ladies and gentlemen, you will be able to follow tonight on our antennas
03:50a special program dedicated to the decryption of the results of these legislative elections in France.
03:57It will be from 7 p.m.
04:01And this concludes this special issue on the legislative elections in France.
04:16The war in Gaza entered its 18th month this Sunday
04:20with a resumption of mediation efforts in order to stop the fire of Israeli emissaries
04:26who will return to Doha in the next few days
04:29to speak with the Qatari mediators,
04:32as indicated by the office of Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu,
04:36highlighting the perspective of the gap with Hamas.
04:41Discussions with American mediators are also taking place in Egypt,
04:46according to Egyptian media Al-Qaeira News.
04:52The Gaza Strip continues to live in dark days.
04:56Yesterday, a new Israeli strike targeted a school in Britain
04:59and displaced people in Dussehra.
05:01The figure is 16 dead.
05:03It is said to have targeted terrorist targets in the middle of the negotiations
05:08and that the war continues in its 10th month.
05:12So far, this conflict has cost the lives of more than 38,153 Palestinians
05:17and plunged the enclave into chaos.
05:21Let's go to Egypt,
05:24where representatives of the Sudanese government
05:27are meeting to discuss the end of the war.
05:30According to the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
05:33the conference is aimed at initiating a national Sudanese-Sudanese dialogue
05:39to put an end to the war
05:41opposing the Sudanese army to the paramilitary forces.
05:45While the fights do not know respite,
05:48Washington has mentioned a possible resumption of talks
05:51in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
05:58In a tense political context,
06:00after the decision of the Nigerian, Mali and Burkina Faso
06:05to unite within a confederation,
06:08it is also in this sense that it is held today
06:11in Abuja, the summit of the CEDEAO,
06:15the economic community of the states of West Africa
06:18and also faced with the persistent violence of terrorists
06:21to economic problems and difficulties
06:24to bring together a regional force.
06:30And to talk about it, we are live from North Shore
06:33with Bakary Gry, editor-in-chief of the website Initiative News.
06:37Hello to you and thank you for responding to our invitation.
06:40Hello, thank you for the invitation.
06:44Mr. Gry, this Sunday, the heads of state of the CEDEAO
06:47are holding a summit in Abuja
06:49where the question of relations with Riyadh will be on the table.
06:53What is, in your opinion, the viability of this organization
06:56which has so far failed to impose its sanctions
06:59on Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger?
07:04Thank you, indeed, as you just pointed out,
07:07the summit in Abuja is a summit that has been called
07:11to try to look at the economic situation
07:14and the security situation,
07:17especially at the level of the states of West Africa.
07:22And it is a summit that intervenes in a difficult context,
07:25in a context of crisis
07:28within the sub-regional organization.
07:33An organization that, as we have seen,
07:36has been going through a lot of ups and downs
07:39especially with the multiplication
07:42of the coups d'état in West Africa
07:45and also with the repatriation
07:48of the constitution
07:51against which the CEDEAO has remained
07:54practically, if not indifferent,
07:57at least impotent.
08:00In any case, for the summit in Abuja,
08:03the West African leaders will try
08:07to see how
08:10to restart the organization
08:13which, after being one of the most
08:16solid institutions
08:19and administratively speaking,
08:22is also quite effective
08:25in the past
08:28and has become completely dead,
08:31especially with the last retreat
08:35of the members of the AES,
08:38namely Mali, Burkina Faso and Nigeria,
08:41who went at top speed
08:44by leaving the organization
08:47and creating a new confederation.
08:50So really, it is a rupture
08:53that puts the organization
08:56in an inexplicable situation
08:59and we do not see how
09:03to round up the angles
09:06and limit the damage.
09:09Mr. Gueye, several West African presidents
09:12have called for a solution
09:15to renew the dialogue between the two parties.
09:18What do you think are the prospects
09:21for restarting the CEDEAO?
09:24There are many presidents
09:27who have intervened
09:30to find a solution
09:33to this retreat,
09:36to this cascade.
09:39Unfortunately, we have seen
09:42that all their appeals
09:45have remained dead,
09:48which means that today
09:51the organization is facing
09:54rather dark prospects.
09:58The CEDEAO has had
10:01an interesting strategy
10:04at the beginning
10:07with the force
10:10that it had put in place
10:13and that it had instituted
10:16and which was intervened everywhere.
10:19After the adoption in 1999
10:22of its protocol
10:26to maintain peace,
10:29a mechanism that had worked well
10:32with interventions everywhere
10:35in West Africa.
10:38But today, unfortunately,
10:41with a very tense security context
10:44and a regionalization
10:47of security challenges,
10:50we have seen that the CEDEAO
10:53is trying to mutualize its forces
10:56and that the heads of state
10:59are on the same wavelength
11:02to be able to restart the organization.
11:05In relation to the question
11:08that you just raised
11:11about the weakness of the CEDEAO
11:14which is facing the persistent violence
11:17of the terrorists
11:21we have seen
11:24that the CEDEAO
11:27is not able to find
11:30a solution
11:33because
11:36the security situation
11:39is much more degraded
11:42in the three countries
11:45that have left the organization
11:49and that the CEDEAO
11:52is not able to find a solution
11:55to try to play the role
11:58for which it was created
12:01simply because
12:04the heads of state
12:07practically act alone
12:10and there is not a common policy
12:13that allows the CEDEAO
12:17to intervene
12:20to solve the security problems
12:23which are the most urgent problems today
12:26and in any case we see very badly
12:29how the organization will deal
12:32to be able to get out of this difficult situation.
12:35Bakary Gueye, thank you again.
12:38I remind you that you are the editor-in-chief
12:41of the website Initiative News
12:44of the CEDEAO the next day
12:47and of course of the AES countries.
12:50Thank you again.
12:53Yesterday in Niamey,
12:56on the occasion of the first Summit
12:59of the Alliance of States of the Sahel
13:02the heads of state of Mali, Nigeria
13:05and Burkina Faso
13:08signed documents
13:12Our correspondent Jean-Yves Bril,
13:15William, tells us more.
13:41An alternative to all the factitious
13:44regional regrouping
13:47by building a sovereign community
13:50of peoples.
13:53A community away from the manipulation
13:56of foreign powers.
13:59A community of peace,
14:02of solidarity, of prosperity
14:05based on our African values.
14:08A rapprochement that is no longer limited
14:10to the simple question of security
14:13and a common struggle against terrorism.
14:16In addition to a common force
14:19created last March,
14:22the three countries, members of the Confederation,
14:25now intend to mutualize their forces
14:28in various areas.
14:31We have considered it necessary
14:34to extend and expand the AES architecture.
14:37To go to other areas in addition to defense,
14:40including finance and economy,
14:43infrastructure, health, education,
14:46in short, I pass.
14:49Strong announcements that come to end the divorce
14:52now assumed with the Community of States
14:55of West Africa,
14:58whose three countries slammed the door in early 2024.
15:01A reason for hope for the populations
15:04who will celebrate the AES for the first time.
15:07We rejoice because we know very well
15:10that the leaders we have trusted
15:13will really want to get out
15:16of the great guidelines
15:19that will be in the hands of all Nigerians,
15:22all Burkinabé and all Maliens.
15:25Those who will get out of this alliance,
15:28we will align ourselves.
15:32Cédéao, c'est faux.
15:35It should be noted that it is Mali that was designated
15:38to assure the first presidency of the Confederation
15:41for a period of one year.
15:44Burkinabé, meanwhile, had to welcome
15:47the next parliamentary meeting
15:50of the Confederation of the Alliance of States of Sahel.
15:53At the very first summit of the Alliance of States of Cédéao,
15:56Mali, Burkinabé and Nigeria,
16:00our correspondent received some opinions
16:03before the end of the summit.
16:12In Bamako, the first summit of the Alliance of States of Sahel
16:15was followed on many platforms.
16:18The speeches of the three presidents
16:21were then one of the debates in the grains.
16:24The decision to close the summit,
16:27to go to the Confederation, did not surprise many.
16:30We are already in a confederation that does not say its name.
16:33Since the beginning of the crisis in these three states,
16:36Mali, Burkina and Nigeria,
16:39the states have begun to consolidate
16:42through the steps of the Foreign Ministry.
16:45With the creation of this alliance
16:48and the establishment of a joint force in March,
16:51some estimate that the Confederation
16:54will help more in the fight against terrorism,
16:57but not only.
17:00If they manage to reunite,
17:03I think it will give a new momentum
17:06for security.
17:09Then, on the economic level,
17:12I think that these three countries
17:15are full of natural resources.
17:18I think that it will be good
17:21for the population of these three countries.
17:24A little surprised by the speed of the events,
17:27some say they observe for the moment
17:30the implementation of this confederation
17:33and see its results on the ground.
17:36It's a first for us.
17:39Besides, it was a surprise for me in person.
17:42But first, we cannot judge
17:45without seeing the actions
17:48of these three heads of state
17:51and how this new adventure will unfold.
17:54We will observe and see.
17:57We wish them good luck.
18:00It will be difficult.
18:03There are many challenges ahead of them.
18:06At the end of this summit,
18:09it was agreed that Mali would
18:12hold the presidency for a year.
18:16The Ivarian journalists were
18:19instructed on the competitiveness
18:22of the companies operating in the country.
18:25During a meeting initiated by
18:28the Development and Professional Training Fund,
18:31the Ivarian public institution took the opportunity
18:34to highlight its operating mode
18:37and present the criteria for the choice
18:40of companies benefiting from their training.
18:44Strengthen the performance
18:47and competitiveness of companies
18:50and increase the level of workers
18:53in the various sectors of activity.
18:56These are the main priorities
18:59of the Development and Professional Training Fund,
19:02the FDFP. The Ivarian public institution
19:05therefore multiplies the strategies
19:08to allow investors and entrepreneurs
19:11to develop their business.
19:14During a meeting with the media
19:17in the city of Grand Bassam,
19:20the Secretary General highlighted
19:23the contribution of the organization
19:26in the development of human capital in Ivory Coast.
19:29These are the companies that fund the economy.
19:32Within these companies,
19:35the first resources are human resources.
19:39According to the report of the exercise 2022-2023,
19:42the FDFP registered 14,262 beneficiaries
19:45of training plans,
19:484,691 beneficiaries of very small business projects,
19:51528 new licenses
19:54and 821 renewal of training operator licenses.
19:57For Philippe Pontry, the work done
20:00by the institution during this period is remarkable.
20:08We were able to take charge
20:11of more than 90% of the needs expressed by the companies
20:14in terms of development of skills,
20:17in terms of accompanying these companies.
20:20We were also able to accompany
20:23all the projects implemented
20:26within our country at important levels.
20:29The meeting allowed the participants
20:32to better understand the functioning of the structure.
20:35The cooperative was able to train people
20:38in the agricultural world
20:41to allow them to better structure themselves.
20:44The training palette I saw
20:47makes me think that the FDFP
20:50is truly equipped to provide know-how.
20:53The next challenges of the structure are, among others,
20:56the monitoring of the action plan 2023-2027,
20:59obtaining the ISO 9001 certification version 2015
21:02and the finalization of the digitalization
21:05of the business and support process.
21:08As part of the International Day of the Closed Combat,
21:11the Malian Federation of Discipline
21:14organized a day of demonstration
21:17and promotion of this art and other martial arts.
21:20The goal was to popularize the discipline
21:23and make it accessible to all.
21:26Mohamed Dagnoko took part in it.
21:29The Malian Federation of Discipline
21:32is often very young compared to adults.
21:35They share the same passion,
21:38that of loving martial arts.
21:41For the president of the Malian Federation of Closed Combat,
21:44it is through this activity
21:47to demonstrate the usefulness of martial arts,
21:50more particularly of closed combat,
21:53in the formation of citizen consciousness
21:56The Malian Federation of Discipline
21:59was founded in 1940
22:02during the Second World War
22:05by a British commando named William Fairbairn.
22:08It is a martial art created by the military.
22:11At that time, the president of the Malian Federation of Closed Combat
22:14was also a military.
22:17The Malian Federation of Discipline
22:20came to the transition with the authorities
22:23for the peace and stability of Mali.
22:26Discipline based on the armed forces and defense,
22:29its democratization, according to the police commissioner
22:32Monzon Kanté, the 9th Dan Black Belt,
22:35has a positive impact on civilians,
22:38especially the youngest.
22:41Martial arts are not only done for children
22:44in a muscular way.
22:47Martial arts are also done
22:50for the education of children,
22:53to maintain health and develop intelligence.
22:56Coming from several training centers
22:59in the capital and other cities,
23:02the demonstrations of combat by the practitioners,
23:05especially the young people,
23:08have amazed the Marines of this activity.
23:11Health, education and civilization
23:14is also being a good patriot.
23:17A spirit in a healthy body
23:20is the leitmotiv
23:23given by the Malian Federation of Closed Combat
23:26to contribute to the construction of the new Malian.
23:29The Moroccan cinema is in mourning.
23:32The famous actor and comedian
23:35Moustapha Diakousine
23:38died yesterday in Casablanca
23:41following a long illness.
23:44Moustapha Diakousine was one of the stars
23:47of television and theater in the 1980s and 1990s.
23:50Many years later,
23:53before retiring from the scene,
23:56Moustapha Diakousine left behind
23:59a real popular heritage
24:02that delighted generations of Moroccans.
24:05This is the end of this report.
24:08Thank you for watching.
24:11See you next time.
