00:00This is L'Hordu Journal. Welcome to Mediantv. Here are the headlines.
00:17Thousands of Palestinians flee the city of Gaza after new calls to evacuate, while intense fighting rages under the bombings.
00:31In the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, Russia launched a massive attack on Ukrainian cities on Monday.
00:39At least 37 people were killed. The Ukrainian president has asked the West for a stronger response to Russia.
00:47NATO will meet this Tuesday in Washington for a summit after 75 years of existence, supposed to confirm its support for Ukraine. More details in a moment.
01:03Thousands of Palestinians flee the city of Gaza after new calls to evacuate, while intense fighting rages under the bombings.
01:21Thousands of Palestinians flee the city of Gaza after new calls to evacuate, while intense fighting rages under the bombings.
01:38The army announced a military operation in Gaza on Monday, especially around the UN building for the Palestinian refugees.
01:49Part of the displaced civilians are being taken to Deir el-Balah, in the center of the territory, where the humanitarian situation is getting worse.
01:57Norwegian refugees are cancelled.
02:04The leaders of the American intelligence services and the Israelis must go to Doha on Wednesday to discuss an agreement between Hamas and Israel for a ceasefire in Gaza, according to a source.
02:22The leaders of the CIA, William Burns, and the Mossad, David Barnea, will go to Doha on Wednesday.
02:32The first Qatari minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, will meet with the Israelis on Wednesday, according to a Palestinian official.
02:47Israel has put its veto on the release of 100 heavily convicted Palestinian prisoners who spent more than 15 years in Israeli prisons, including a number of Hamas leaders.
02:59Hamas has demanded that the mediators engage in a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Tehran-Fah terminal, the northern passage of Gaza, with Egypt and the Philadelphia corridor,
03:11a road that crosses the border on the Palestinian side. During the fifth week of a ceasefire, the ceasefire is in force.
03:21In the conflict on Ukrainian soil, Russia led a massive attack on Ukrainian cities on Monday, which killed at least 37 people in hospitals on the eve of an important NATO summit,
03:37during which US President Joe Biden promised new measures to strengthen Kiev's air defense.
03:44These new strikes have aroused indignation in Kiev and its supporters, and have raised questions about the state of Ukrainian air defense,
03:53again put to the test after previous Russian bombings, including targeting power plants and military airfields.
04:01Today, Russia has attacked Ukrainian cities. More than 170 people have been injured.
04:08We know that there were 37 deaths, including three children, wrote Volodymyr Zelensky on Telegram last night.
04:14In Warsaw, where he is visiting, the Ukrainian president has asked the West for a stronger response to Russia.
04:21He also called for an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
04:27NATO will meet this Tuesday in Washington for a summit after 75 years of existence,
04:40supposed to confirm its support for Ukraine, but dominated by the climate of political uncertainty in the United States.
04:47France, on the other hand, is partially dissipated. Doubts reign on the other side of the Atlantic.
04:53As a result, the legislative elections on Sunday distance the prospect of an arrival at the power of the far right,
05:01but without providing a precise answer on who will govern France in the coming months.
05:07Zelensky is expected to attend the ceremony on Tuesday in Washington,
05:13marking the 75th anniversary of the Atlantic Alliance, created in April 1949 to respond to the Soviet threat.
05:20The Ukrainian president has been insistently calling for more weapons to face Russia in the offensive for months.
05:27Kiev has been calling for anti-aircraft defense systems in Patriot batteries,
05:33solar missiles. Russian strikes have already killed dozens and destroyed half of Ukraine's energy capacities,
05:40while Germany and Romania have so far responded to these requests,
05:45each committed to providing a Patriot system.
05:50The preparations for NATO's 75th summit are underway for the annual meeting,
05:58whose opening is scheduled for today.
06:00The leaders of the 32 member states will meet this Tuesday in the American capital, in Mefikli.
06:11No celebration on this 75th anniversary of NATO.
06:16The annual summit is likely to be darkened by several uncertainties,
06:20notably because of the European elections and the differences between the United States and Russia.
06:25The summit is not going to be a celebratory summit.
06:28It will be a serious summit, due to the gravity of the context in which it takes place.
06:35Think of the war in Ukraine, in which the Russians are making small progress at the moment.
06:40Think of the possible escalation of violence in the Middle East.
06:43Think of China's growing belligerence in the Indo-Pacific.
06:47All this creates a very worrying context for discussions between allies.
06:51This makes for a very serious context for allied discussions.
06:54This annual meeting is marked by the recent adhesion of Sweden to NATO.
06:59The Scandinavian country will join this organization on March 7, 2024.
07:03On its part, Ukraine is a candidate to join the alliance,
07:07but so far has only received promises of adhesion, without any formal invitation.
07:12The protection of Sweden and Finland will also be at the forefront of the key subjects of this annual meeting,
07:18while the main allies of the alliance on the old continent,
07:22which are France, Germany and the United Kingdom,
07:24are facing major political upheavals the day after the unprecedented legislative election,
07:30on the other side of the Atlantic, in the United States.
07:33The major concern remains on the health of President Joe Biden,
07:38still a candidate for re-election despite his poor performance against Donald Trump during a presidential debate.
07:49There is a lot of uncertainty in the approach of this summit.
07:54Once again, it's not just about France.
07:57You know, Joe Biden is the host.
07:59He had a bad evening during the debate.
08:01Voices rise to ask him to withdraw, as he seemed fragile during this debate.
08:06He is therefore the host, and he is trying to use the summit to be up to the leadership,
08:10which he has shown since he took office in 2021.
08:13But he is definitely weakened by his last performance.
08:19A summit under high tension, which starts this Tuesday in Washington,
08:23on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Atlantic Alliance.
08:29We remain in the United States, where Joe Biden is still a candidate for election on November 5,
08:36in a letter addressed on Monday to the Democratic electors of the Congress.
08:40The White House host once again closed the door to all withdrawal from Algeria.
08:54A call to the sacred union around his candidacy.
08:57This is what Joe Biden, the outgoing American president,
09:00is demanding to equal parties.
09:02A call to the sacred union around his candidacy.
09:06This is what Joe Biden, the outgoing American president,
09:09is demanding to equal parties.
09:12While his health is increasingly worrying a few months before the presidential election.
09:17In a letter published on social media on July 8,
09:20the outgoing president asked members of the Democratic Party to support him
09:24and to gather around his candidacy for the American presidential election in November 2024.
09:32Well, all kidding aside, you know, I've been doing this a long time.
09:36And I honestly, God, have never been more optimistic.
09:39Well, all kidding aside, you know, I've been doing this a long time.
09:41And I honestly, God, have never been more optimistic.
09:44As for the future of America, if we stay together, I really think so.
09:48We must unite America again.
09:50This is my goal, this is what we are going to do.
09:52May God bless you all and may God protect our troops.
09:58On Sunday, Joe Biden made a series of public appearances
10:01as part of his campaign in Pennsylvania,
10:03one of the pivotal states where the victory could be played in November.
10:06He was notably joined by the influential Senator John Fetterman,
10:10one of his weighty supporters within the Democratic Party.
10:13Although an outgoing candidate, Joe Biden is on the bench
10:16because of his advanced age of 81 years and significant concerns about his health.
10:21In addition, his recent performances during the debates against his Republican rival Donald Trump
10:26did not comfort his supporters and members of his party
10:29about his possibility of leading the country in the years to come.
10:35In the diplomatic chapter in Morocco,
10:39yesterday, Nasser El-Boletar received the special representative
10:43of the Secretary-General for Political Affairs
10:46and interim head of the UN Support Mission in Libya,
10:49Stephanie Khoury.
10:51The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Morocco
10:53said that Morocco is still convinced
10:55that the Olympic umbrella is necessary
10:58to give legitimacy to any process
11:01and to any settlement of the Libyan crisis.
11:04The work visit of the Libyan minister is part of the coordination
11:09and permanent consultation between the Kingdom of Morocco and the United Nations
11:13in accordance with the high orientations of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
11:22Now to Sudan,
11:24where more than 328,000 people have fled the capital city of El-Fasher
11:29and the state of North Darfur in the west of the country in three months,
11:33a figure revealed by the International Organization for Migration.
11:37Clashes that began with attacks by the RSF
11:41on villages west of El-Fasher in April
11:46culminated with a larger assault on the city on May 11,
11:51killing and injuring 2,500 civilians.
12:00The day after the meeting held on Sunday by the heads of state of the CEDEAO,
12:04a question is now being asked for the populations of West African space,
12:09aiming at the requirement of an entry visa
12:12for the citizens of the member countries of the State Alliance of the Sahel,
12:17if the hypothesis was evoked by the President
12:20that the Commission of the Regional Institute in Niamey
12:22does not seem to be really worried about its implementation.
12:25Our correspondent Jean Gibril, William, told us more.
12:30The day after the official proclamation of an active confederation
12:34at the departure of the CEDEAO,
12:36the refugees from Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso
12:39could soon see themselves demanding a visa
12:41to travel to their West African neighbors.
12:44This is at least what seems to be profiled
12:46in view of the concerns raised by the President
12:49of the Commission of the Regional Institute in Abuja on Sundays.
12:52The CEDEAO will also address the travel and immigration conditions
12:57of the citizens of these three countries,
13:01because they will now have to take steps
13:05in order to obtain a visa before traveling to the sub-region.
13:11A hypothesis that, at the beginning of the week,
13:13does not seem to worry the inhabitants of the Nigerian capital,
13:16now citizens of the AES,
13:18is ready to assume any consequences.
13:20We took a visa to go to Triki, Sine, everywhere.
13:24Today, if the CEDEAO says that we have to take a visa
13:27before going to Cote d'Ivoire, or Belen, or Niger,
13:30we are going to take a visa.
13:32Sovereignty has a price, and we have to pay that price.
13:35We are ready to take into consideration those who ask,
13:38but we are going to build our alliance of states of salvation,
13:41and we are not going to repress their communities.
13:44We consider that these communities have supported us,
13:46they are peoples who have supported us,
13:48and we are going to welcome them in our country.
13:50We don't see any problem with that.
13:52But this political analyst assures us that
13:54the divorce between the AES and the CEDEAO
13:57should only stop at the administrative bodies.
14:00There is little chance, therefore,
14:02of seeing another wave in the circulation of CEDEAO people in space.
14:06If the free circulation of CEDEAO people,
14:10which is one of the essential pillars of the CEDEAO,
14:16if the CEDEAO itself takes the initiative to question that,
14:20I think it will shoot itself in the foot.
14:24No, I think the CEDEAO will never do that.
14:28In Abuja, this Sunday,
14:30the CEDEAO has also warned of a risk of disintegration of space
14:34due to the departure of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso.
14:38Senegalese and Togolese presidents have thus been designated
14:42as facilitators of the CEDEAO
14:44at the expense of the member states of the Confederation of the States of Sahel.
14:49Back in Morocco,
14:50the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication
14:53and the National Society of Radio, Broadcasting and Television
14:57signed on Monday in Rabat
14:59a partnership agreement on the media coverage
15:02of archaeological excavations in the sites of Uchella
15:05and the Sigil Massa,
15:06approved by the Minister of Youth, Culture and Communication,
15:10Mohamed Mahdi Moussaïd,
15:11and the President-General of the SNRT, Faisal Larechi.
15:15This convention aims to inform and educate
15:18on the importance of archaeological excavations,
15:22enrich Morocco's historical and patrimonial knowledge,
15:25promote research and preserve heritage
15:28through the highlighting of archaeological discoveries.
15:31By virtue of this convention,
15:33the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication
15:36is committed to planning archaeological missions
15:39for the benefit of the sites of Uchella
15:41and the Sigil Massa
15:42to facilitate access to these sites for researchers, archaeologists,
15:45experts and trainees,
15:47to reserve credits for research
15:50of archaeological excavations in these sites
15:52and to organize workshops of sensitization
15:55led by experts and archaeologists.
