00:00Thank you for joining us for this round of news, here are the headlines.
00:20Access of the countries of the Sahel to the Atlantic, Guinea-Bissau salutes the initiative
00:25of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, a position reiterated by the Minister of
00:29Affairs Guinean Carlos Pinto Pereira in visit to Laayoune, details to follow in this newspaper.
00:38Emmanuel Macron has accepted the resignation of Gabriel Attal and his team. In the absence
00:42of a new government, several hearings await a national assembly devoid of a majority.
00:50Donald Trump was officially appointed yesterday as a Republican candidate
00:53at the US presidential election. The former president appointed the 39-year-old senator James
00:59David Vance to support him. We meet again right now for the development.
01:07Welcome ladies and gentlemen, Guinea salutes the initiative of His Majesty
01:12the King Mohammed VI in favor of the access of the Sahel countries to the Atlantic.
01:16At the end of his interviews in Laayoune with his counterpart Nasser Borita, the Guinean Minister
01:22of Foreign Affairs Carlos Pinto Pereira saluted this initiative aimed at strengthening
01:29regional integration. The two ministers congratulated each other on the excellence of
01:34deep bonds of friendship and solidarity maintained by the two countries under the
01:38impetus of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI and the Army Corps General, His Excellency
01:44Omar Hussein Embalo. Carlos Pinto Pereira, I invite you to listen.
01:49These are very positive results that encourage us and that were taken in the context of the
01:57guidelines, as you have well said, of His Majesty Mohammed VI and the head of state,
02:05Omar Hussein Embalo. We are very satisfied to have stayed here in Laayoune and Dakhla,
02:16and we did it expressly because we would like to once again point out our support for the
02:26Sahel in its fullness as an integrating party, as a solution proposed by the United Nations,
02:41and it is the only framework that we recognize for a fair solution to be taken in this respect.
02:51In Laayoune, the works of the first session of the Morocco-Malawi Cooperation
02:55Mixed Commission were held. It should be noted that meetings held between the Moroccan Minister
03:01of Foreign Affairs and his Malawian counterpart Nancy Tembo were an opportunity to examine
03:07new perspectives for the consolidation of cooperation relations between Morocco and Malawi
03:13in many areas, in line with the orientations of the heads of state of the two countries,
03:18His Majesty King Mohammed VI and President Lazarus Chakweri.
03:26The hydric situation in Morocco is the most critical. It is the bitter observation that
03:30emerges from the meeting held yesterday in Rabat by the Minister of Agriculture,
03:35Mohamed El-Sadiqi, who met with agricultural sector professionals in Jarchafei.
03:42The situation is really alarming. The national rainfall has fallen by 34%
03:49to reach 230 mm during this agricultural season.
03:53To take up the terms of the Ministry of Agriculture,
03:56the current agricultural campaign is marked by a severe hydric deficit.
04:05We are focused on the issue of supply of the domestic market.
04:11We are focusing on the priorities, namely the irrigation of agricultural lands
04:18and the needs in the water of the Cheptel.
04:21More than 90% of irrigated areas are now subject to severe restrictions.
04:28For some, this is outright the cessation of irrigation for several months,
04:33or even several years.
04:35The filling rate of dams intended for the agricultural sector does not exceed 29% today.
04:45Morocco has never experienced a drought as severe as the one in recent years.
04:53Here in the markets, there is still a balance between supply and demand.
04:57Vegetables are available at affordable prices.
04:59This is the result of the Green Morocco Plan.
05:03Several regions are now facing a structural hydric deficit,
05:07which threatens the production of fruits and vegetables.
05:11The surface of some crops has been seen to decline.
05:15This is the case of legumes and sugar crops.
05:23As farmers, we are going through a very complicated period.
05:27It is the fifth consecutive drought.
05:29And we have a big problem in terms of water resources.
05:33There is no more water in several perimeters.
05:35There is a lack of water in the dams, in the wells.
05:37These are really difficult conditions.
05:39We do not know if we can still continue production.
05:47At a time when Morocco is experiencing an unprecedented drought,
05:51the agricultural sector takes over more than 80% of the total water consumption in the kingdom.
05:57Politics is leading us in France.
05:59Emmanuel Macron has accepted the resignation of Gabriel Attal and his team,
06:05who are now in charge of dealing with current affairs.
06:09Until the nomination of a new government,
06:11the Elysée announced in a statement.
06:13In the absence of a new government,
06:15several hopefuls are waiting for the new elected representatives,
06:19who must, among other things, elect this week the President of the National Assembly.
06:23Yesterday, in an interview on the NBC channel,
06:27Joe Biden appeared as a combative candidate
06:31to try to put an end to doubts about his health
06:33and to become a rallying president
06:35after the attempted assassination against Donald Trump.
06:37Revenge!
06:39The President said he was ready for a new debate in September,
06:43as planned, before the election on November 5th.
06:47We knew this was going to be a close race from the moment he announced.
06:51The idea that we are in a situation where...
06:55Among his competitors,
06:57James David Vance chose as co-leader of Donald Trump
07:01for the American presidential election.
07:03The senator of New York,
07:05David Vance,
07:07is also a candidate for the presidency.
07:09He is also a candidate for the presidency.
07:11He is also a candidate for the presidency.
07:13He is also a candidate for the presidency.
07:15He is also a candidate for the presidency.
07:17The 39-year-old senator will be the vice president of the Republican candidate
07:21officially appointed yesterday,
07:23in Jarshafe for more details.
07:31With his bandage on his ear,
07:33Donald Trump was welcomed as a hero
07:35at his arrival at the Republican Convention.
07:37Two days after escaping an attempted assassination,
07:39he received the ovation of the Republican delegates.
07:43To support him in the race to the White House,
07:45the appointed candidate chose a 39-year-old senator as co-leader.
07:51This is what our country needs.
07:53We need business leaders
07:55and J.D. Vance is an excellent choice.
07:59I must admit we were hoping to see Sarah Sanders,
08:01but I'm really excited about J.D. Vance.
08:06So who is J.D. Vance?
08:08J.D. Vance is an O.I.O. senator,
08:10a state already acquired by Donald Trump.
08:12J.D. Vance, ex-military and successful author,
08:14has a career in the Silicon Valley.
08:16A wind of youth,
08:18which balances the age of the tandem
08:20in a presidential campaign
08:22where age is a central subject in the debate.
08:24The modest origins of the one
08:26who could become one of the youngest
08:28vice presidents of the United States
08:30would also have determined
08:32the choice of the former president.
08:34For the campaign team,
08:36J.D. Vance could find echo
08:38in the key states of the northern regions
08:40and reverse the election.
08:42Even if it is shown by the critical past
08:44vis-à-vis Donald Trump,
08:46J.D. Vance made a complete turnaround
08:48to impose himself as one of the most ardent
08:50defenders of the billionaire.
08:52J.D. Vance could even
08:54in a few years become
08:56the new flag bearer of Trump's vision
08:58within the Republican Party.
09:06We are now in Oman,
09:08where six people, including four Pakistanis,
09:10have been killed and about thirty injured
09:12during a shooting near a Shiite mosque.
09:14Two mascots announced
09:16on Tuesday
09:18the Ferrar authorities,
09:20of which the Sultanate of Oman
09:22is reputed to be stable and neutral.
09:24In a statement published on social media,
09:26the police indicated that the attackers
09:28had been killed without specifying
09:30their nationality or motive.
09:32An investigation has also been opened.
09:36And then in the Middle East,
09:38the humanitarian situation
09:40in the Gaza Strip
09:42continues to worsen.
09:44The civilian defense
09:46of the Gaza Strip,
09:48a dependent organization of Hamas,
09:50announced on Tuesday
09:52the death of 44 people
09:54in three distinct Israeli strikes
09:56in the center, south and north
09:58of the small Palestinian territory
10:00which one of them was on a school.
10:02Israel indicated in its statement
10:04that it had targeted
10:06terrorists using
10:08a school in the region of Nusrat
10:10and a company leader
10:12in the west of Radionessa.
10:18On his side, Benyamin Netanyahu
10:20judged on Tuesday
10:22that the army was still increasing
10:24pressure on Hamas.
10:26And under pressure,
10:28he is under increasing pressure
10:30because we are hurting him,
10:32and thousands of his terrorists
10:34has declared the Israeli Prime Minister
10:36during an official ceremony
10:38on the Moerse in Jerusalem.
10:44And today again, Israel has multiplied
10:46the strikes on the Gaza Strip,
10:48devastated by more than nine months
10:50of war with Hamas, Washington.
10:52By the voice of his US Secretary of State
10:54Antony Blinken has renewed
10:56criticism of his ally
10:58because of the high number
11:00of civilian victims.
11:02These strikes are serious.
11:04The humanitarian catastrophe,
11:06the NGOs continue to face
11:08the obstacles imposed by the pursuit
11:10of Israeli military operations
11:12has deplored last night
11:14Doctors Without Borders.
11:16The Maltese conservative
11:18Roberta Metzola
11:20has been re-elected today
11:22to the Presidency of the European Parliament,
11:24renewed in June,
11:26where the reinforced far-right
11:28has taken office despite
11:30its divisions and a
11:32claimed sanitary cordon.
11:34This plenary in Strasbourg,
11:36which has started a new
11:38five-year legislature,
11:40will be marked on Thursday
11:42by a vote to re-elect Ursula von der Leyen
11:44as President of the European Commission.
11:48Back in Africa,
11:50Tunisia has officially entered
11:52an electoral period.
11:54The High Electoral Commission
11:56has published a statement
11:58by the opposition and NGOs
12:00calling it the premature
12:02electoral silence of Tunisia.
12:04Najwa Becha reports.
12:06The race to the presidency
12:08has officially started in Tunisia.
12:10While the opposition candidates
12:12confirm that they face
12:14many difficulties to present themselves
12:16as a candidate,
12:18the Electoral Commission
12:20has published a statement
12:22warning that,
12:24according to it,
12:26the Commission was about
12:28to impose a premature
12:30electoral silence.
12:32All the conditions announced
12:34have been in place since 2014,
12:36but what we see is that
12:38each measure announced
12:40by the authority
12:42arouses controversy.
12:44Thus, all the measures
12:46we have announced
12:48have been in place
12:50since 2014 and 2019.
12:52The electoral period
12:54is two months
12:56before the election campaign.
12:58The Journalist Union
13:00was one of the first
13:02to criticize the restrictions
13:04imposed by the Electoral Commission
13:06and to demand the involvement
13:08of other control bodies
13:10such as the Superior
13:12Audiovisual Authority.
13:14I have been for months.
13:16From the point of view
13:18of the clause,
13:20the Electoral Commission
13:22does not have the right
13:24to hold elections.
13:26In terms of content,
13:28the Electoral Commission
13:30cannot assess the content
13:32of the journalistic work.
13:34The Commission's statement
13:36also includes ambiguous sentences
13:38that open the door
13:40to interpretation.
13:42And when we open the door
13:44to interpretation,
13:46the door to prison
13:48The presidential elections
13:50have begun.
13:52A new coup d'etat
13:54was launched at the meeting
13:56of the Secretary-General
13:58of the Islamist party,
14:00former MP and two party members,
14:02added to those of the opposition
14:04who have been in prison
14:06for months and who expressed
14:08their intention to lead
14:10the electoral battle.
14:12It should be noted
14:14that the Superior Independent
14:16and the Secretary-General
14:18of the Islamist party
14:20have agreed to hold
14:22the presidential elections
14:24on October 6, 2024.
14:26Presidential
14:28Rwanda
14:30Paul Kagame
14:32collects more than 99%
14:34of the votes recorded
14:36after the removal
14:38of 79% of the ballots
14:40removed
14:42according to the partial results
14:44of the next two weeks
14:46before the proclamation
14:48seven days later
14:50of the final results.
14:52Let's go to Mali
14:54where since July 10
14:56political parties have resumed
14:58their activities.
15:00The Independent Authority
15:02of Election Management
15:04has met with the political class
15:06to relaunch its framework of exchanges
15:08after three months of interruption.
15:10This meeting between
15:12the Independent Authority of Election Management
15:14and the political class
15:16a few days after the suspension
15:18of party activities
15:20was placed under the seal
15:22of relaunching the activities
15:24of their framework of exchanges.
15:26This new political context
15:28if we say this opportunity
15:30that is offered
15:32creates favorable conditions
15:34for our framework of exchanges
15:36which appears as the institutional materialization
15:38of the dialogue
15:40between the political class
15:42and the political parties
15:44to ensure the organization
15:46and the holding of elections
15:48in peace in our country.
15:50For some, this meeting
15:52in addition to the suspension
15:54of political party activities
15:56foretells a next publication
15:58of an electoral calendar.
16:00Normally
16:02this suspension
16:04of political activities
16:06must lead us
16:08to the elaboration
16:10of an electoral calendar
16:12for the holding of elections
16:14in order to end
16:16the transition.
16:18During this meeting
16:20with the Independent Authority
16:22of Election Management
16:24to mark their support
16:26to their comrades in prison
16:28the members of the signatory party
16:30of the 31 March communiqué
16:32left the room.
16:34We have decided
16:36to hold this meeting
16:38and all the other meetings
16:40in the future
16:42because 11 of our political comrades
16:44are unjustly detained.
16:48We think that
16:50this meeting
16:52is a surprise
16:54and it is not natural
16:56to facilitate
16:58the obtaining of liberation.
17:00Following the political parties
17:02the IJ plans to meet
17:04with the civil society
17:06to renew the same exercise.
17:08The Senegalese government
17:10is making efforts
17:12to preserve the natural resources
17:14of the country, such as gold.
17:16I invite the authorities
17:18to set up a commercial counter
17:20to facilitate the purchase of gold
17:22produced locally.
17:24We met some of them.
17:26Senegal exports
17:28a part of its gold
17:30thus contributing to its national economy.
17:32However,
17:34the commercialization of gold in Senegal
17:36is a significant economic activity
17:38that has been growing
17:40for a few years.
17:42Its inflation refers
17:44to the price increase on the market.
17:46Precious material,
17:48its economic instability
17:50is often perceived as a reserve
17:52of safe value.
17:54This is why a demand
17:56for crude gold,
17:58whether for investments, jewellery
18:00or other industrial use,
18:02can lead to a price increase.
18:04Don't forget that gold is fixed
18:06on the international market
18:08as the ounce
18:10that determines the value of gold.
18:12As gold is linked to certain currencies
18:14or certain currencies,
18:16it is a product
18:18that can play
18:20a fundamental role
18:22on the demand,
18:24the supply, the price
18:26and create inflationary situations
18:28Senegal has
18:30several gold mining sites
18:32in different regions of the country,
18:34notably in Sabadola,
18:36where the country's largest gold mine is located.
18:38Gold is sold
18:40in local and international markets.
18:42We have
18:44denounced
18:46the fact that Senegal's gold
18:48does not circulate in Senegal
18:50because there is no gold purchasing office.
18:52Since there is no gold purchasing office,
18:54raw material
18:56is becoming rarer
18:58for the jewellery artisan.
19:00This is a problem in Senegal.
19:02Senegal cannot be a gold producer
19:04and there is no gold purchasing office
19:06here in Senegal,
19:08nor a gold refinery.
19:10Although Senegal offers economic opportunities,
19:12gold also has a life expectancy
19:14and a touch of beauty,
19:16as confirmed by this lady.
19:18I love gold
19:20and I also ask
19:22women like me
19:24to buy gold jewellery
19:26because gold is like a safe
19:28or a bank account.
19:30It has value.
19:32It has a touch of beauty
19:34in women.
19:36The aesthetic aspect is incomparable.
19:38I just bought two bracelets
19:40for 21 carats.
19:44Note that the commercialization
19:46of gold in Senegal
19:48is a growing industry.
19:50The new Senegalese authorities
19:52are committed to transparency
19:54and good governance
19:56of the country's natural resources.
19:58This is a way to make their population
20:00benefit from the economic
20:02downfalls of these industries.
20:04I will give my life
20:06for this club.
20:08These are the first words
20:10of Kylian Mbappé to the thousands
20:12of supporters of Real Madrid.
20:14It is in a stadium in San Diego
20:16that the new number 9
20:18of the Casablanca
20:20will be officially announced.
20:22After this season
20:24in Paris Saint-Germain,
20:26Kylian Mbappé will play
20:28for five years with the most
20:30titled club in the Champions League
20:32and following his idol
20:34Cristiano Ronaldo.
20:42This is the end of this news.
20:46See you next time.
