00:00Good evening and welcome to Medea TV, thank you for joining us for a new newscast, here
00:20are the headlines.
00:21The Israeli army has announced that it has eliminated Hezbollah's paramilitary leader
00:27Hezbollah's leader, Ibrahim al-Aqil, in a provisional FETA report of 12 people killed
00:31and 60 people injured.
00:34Two weeks after his nomination, Michel Barnier is about to present the composition of his
00:39government.
00:40The next French executive should include 38 members.
00:44In Senegal, the next legislative elections are scheduled for November 17th.
00:50The Israeli army has announced that it has eliminated Hezbollah's leader, Ibrahim al-Aqil,
00:57in a provisional FETA report of 12 people killed and 60 people injured.
01:03The Israeli army has announced that it has eliminated Hezbollah's leader, Ibrahim al-Aqil,
01:09in a provisional FETA report of 12 people killed and 60 people injured.
01:16Al-Tsaal has announced that it has launched a targeted strike on Beirut.
01:20Israel claims to have eliminated the head of the force in Radwan, alias Tahseen, and other
01:25high-ranking officials of the Lebanese movement during a targeted strike.
01:28Ibrahim al-Aqil, alias Tahseen, was wanted by the United States for his role in the attacks
01:33against the United States Embassy in Beirut in April 1983, which killed 63 people, and
01:39against the American Marines in October 1983, which killed 241 soldiers.
01:44Lebanese diplomacy chief Abdullah Bouhabib announced the filing of a complaint with the
01:50Security Council following the series of explosions of the Beepers and the Talkie Walkies,
01:54which constitutes a war crime.
02:01This attack is not considered a military or security action against a military entity.
02:06These devices were used by the general public in Lebanon, doctors, engineers and hospital staff,
02:12among others.
02:13It is therefore an attack against the civilian apparatus in general.
02:16Consequently, this issue is considered a blatant aggression and a massacre against civilians.
02:28After the spectacular explosions attributed to Israel of transmission devices used by
02:32members of Hezbollah, the exchange of fire has intensified since Thursday between the
02:37Israeli army, which carried out dozens of strikes in southern Lebanon and Hezbollah.
02:41Inhabitants of border towns described bombings the day before last night of an intensity
02:47never seen in the course of the year.
02:51These incidents clearly indicate that Israel wants war.
02:54There must be an end to this, because tens of thousands of civilians, including children,
02:58women and elderly people, suffer and die because of Israel's actions.
03:04Israel did not comment on the attack, which took place in strongholds of Hezbollah in the
03:08south of Beirut, as well as in the south and east of Lebanon, which killed 37 people in two days
03:13and injured nearly 3,000.
03:17Hezbollah fired rockets this Friday at Israel in response to intense bombardments by the
03:22Israeli army.
03:23It was announced on Friday that about 60 rockets had been fired from Lebanon towards Israel.
03:28Hezbollah, on the other hand, claimed rocket fire on six Israeli military sites in southern
03:33Lebanon.
03:34Inhabitants of border towns described bombings the day before last night of an intensity
03:38never seen in the course of the year.
03:41Joe Biden announced he was working on the return of civilian populations from southern Lebanon
03:45and northern Israel.
03:46The American president said he wanted to ensure that the populations of northern Israel and
03:50southern Lebanon could return home.
03:52Asked about the prospect of a ceasefire agreement, he replied,
03:55Many things do not seem realistic.
03:57As long as they are not accomplished, we must not give up.
04:00According to the Wall Street Journal, top US officials assure that they no longer believe
04:05in such an agreement before the end of Joe Biden's term.
04:10So, from a technical point of view, how could these devices explode and cause so much damage?
04:14The Chilean expert in the field and professor of energy at the University of Technology
04:19in Nyanga, Singapore, was our guest of the 13h.
04:22We listen to him.
04:23There is the electrical part, there is the battery part and then the management part.
04:29Management is an electronic circuit that is produced by the world's major electronic circuits
04:35and in particular for mobile phones, what we call smart phones.
04:39So there is an electronic chip inside that manages the functions, the different functions
04:45of a mobile phone.
04:47And so it is this electronic circuit that could be manipulated at the source.
04:53That is to say that the Israeli intelligence services, in particular, were able to enter
05:00and identify the manufacturer of these beepers, which are intended for the people of Hezbollah
05:09in Lebanon.
05:11And they know exactly who makes them and they were able to program them so that they can
05:20create this short circuit.
05:22I don't think of the explosive charge, because even if you blow up a battery, it's not
05:28sure that the critical temperature of 220 degrees can be reached.
05:32So if there is a charge of a very, very low mass, in my opinion, it will not have the
05:40damage it has had.
05:41That is to say that there were still several dozen deaths and several thousand injured.
05:46And I really think that it is the trigger, the increase in the temperature of the battery
05:52that caused the battery to explode.
05:54And indeed, when the battery explodes, it is very, very, very impressive.
05:58That is to say that the temperature of the battery, the flames that are caused can reach
06:03up to 850 degrees.
06:04So it's huge and it lasts a few seconds.
06:07It lasts three or four seconds and then it's over.
06:10And so it's really a lot, a lot of energy in a very, very short time.
06:14And so that's what makes it what we call the power of explosion.
06:18This power of explosion is so strong that it can actually tear someone's arm off
06:22or cause the death of this person.
06:25Emmanuel Macron calls on all French political groups to help Michel Barnier form a government.
06:30The last list proposed on Thursday aroused uproar in the presidential camp.
06:34The head of state assured that Michel Barnier was composing his team in full freedom.
06:39His government has insisted that it will nominate ministers on the basis of the proposals
06:44that Michel Barnier will make to us.
06:49And just two weeks after his nomination, Michel Barnier submitted his list to Emmanuel Macron.
06:53But the obstacles seem to be raised in this difficult elaboration of the executive
06:58in the absence of an absolute majority in the Assembly.
07:01The Prime Minister is about to present the composition of his government,
07:04a team of 38 members, including 16 ministers in full exercise.
07:07Among them, 7 Macronists, 3 Republicans, 2 from the Modem, 1 Horizon
07:12or another one from the UDI party.
07:15Their names could be announced before Sunday.
07:20After the dissolution of the National Assembly,
07:22Senegal is preparing for the next elections and the anticipated legislative elections on November 17.
07:26The calendar of the electoral process has been made public.
07:30The campaign starts on October 27.
07:33This is a report from Dakar, from Marie Madiop and from Moussandir.
07:37In Senegal, the anticipated legislative elections on November 17
07:42will be announced inclusively, without sponsorship.
07:45The danger that we are running is a plethora of lists,
07:48because we knew it in 2017.
07:50With 47 lists, it was very difficult to organize the elections in 2017.
07:58The issue is to make sure that, as there is no sponsorship,
08:02we still have a reasonable number of lists.
08:06Moreover, the chronology of the electoral process is already established by the election management.
08:12The reception of the candidacy files is scheduled for September 23.
08:16The publication of the candidacies on October 7 for the electoral campaign.
08:21It is scheduled for October 27 on November 15.
08:25The Alliance for the Transparency of Legislative Elections,
08:29a coalition of the opposition, thus invites the authorities to consult
08:33for a good progress of the ballot.
08:36There is the problem of sponsorship, which is solved by the council,
08:40which takes responsibility for it.
08:42But there is also the problem of the rights of the first voters.
08:47There is also the delay in the filing of the lists.
08:53So I think there are a lot of things,
08:56and we do not know how it will develop or how it will end.
09:02But he should have consulted with the political class
09:06and asked for advice from the Constitutional Council,
09:10as he did when he wanted to dissolve.
09:12This political analyst, on the other hand, calls on political actors to adapt to the context.
09:18Everything will go very fast, and he must take this into account.
09:22So we are not in 90-day, 80-day delays or things like that.
09:27So he will have to adapt to the fact that we are in anticipated elections.
09:35And inevitably, the political actors who are,
09:38must know that after the presidential election on March 24,
09:42that the power in place continues,
09:45or that the opposition wins.
09:47As is the case now with President Bassilouiou Maïfaye,
09:51the National Assembly was destined to be dissolved.
09:54So it had to be prepared for anticipated elections.
09:57So being there to say that the power in place is in the making,
10:03I think that for political actors involved,
10:06they had to prepare for the consequences.
10:08A meeting of political actors with the election management
10:12is expected for the organization of a transparent scrutiny.
10:18Let's take the direction of Johannesburg,
10:20where discussions took place on the eve of the 12th annual conference
10:23of the presidents of the African parliaments.
10:25The president of the House of Representatives
10:27held a bilateral meeting with the president of the National Assembly of South Africa.
10:31Chital Bialami congratulated Angela Tokozile-Didiza
10:34for her election at the head of the legislative institution.
10:37He also recalled the avant-garde role of Morocco
10:39in the support of liberation movements in Africa,
10:41recalling the support brought by Rabat, Pretoria for its independence,
10:45as Nelson Mandela attests in several statements.
10:49On her side, Angela Didiza saluted the democratic experience of Morocco
10:52and expressed the desire to develop a fruitful bilateral cooperation with the kingdom.
10:58Spain positively underlines Morocco's action against irregular immigration.
11:02During a session at the Congress of Deputies,
11:04the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Alvarez,
11:08highlighted the collaboration between Madrid and Rabat
11:11that had allowed to counter thousands of illegal immigration attempts.
11:15Several Iberian media have also saluted the efforts made by Morocco
11:18in the face of this situation,
11:20like the newspaper El País, which recalls that since Friday,
11:23Morocco has deployed an exceptional contingent of security forces
11:26in the coastal city of Fnedotre.
11:30Morocco received 4.4 million tourists in July and August.
11:34This is what the Minister of Tourism assured yesterday
11:36during an exhibition presented in front of the Government Council.
11:39Fatemh Zahra Amora stated that it was an increase of 21%
11:43compared to the same period in 2023,
11:45a report in which we learn that the record arrivals of tourists
11:48have generated revenues nearing 59 billion dirhams
11:52during the first seven months of the year,
11:54an increase of 3.5% compared to last year.
12:001.85 billion dirhams is the amount of the pre-agreement
12:03granted to Morocco by Japan
12:05for the financing of development policies
12:07for the achievement of universal health coverage.
12:09This agreement was signed by Faouzi El-Rjeim,
12:11the Minister in charge of the budget,
12:13and Kurumitsu Hideaka,
12:15an extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador
12:17of Japan to Morocco.
12:18The program aims to accelerate progress
12:20towards universal health coverage
12:22by improving the performance and quality of health services
12:25and maternal nutrition,
12:27especially in rural areas.
12:30Taqa Morocco has seen its turnover decrease
12:33in the first half of the year
12:35due to the decline in the price of coal
12:37on the international market.
12:38Taqa Morocco has recorded a decrease in energy costs.
12:41The turnover is 5.65 billion dirhams
12:45compared to 7.44 billion in 2023.
12:48To come back to these figures,
12:50I invite you to listen to Omar Alaoui Mohamdi,
12:53Director of Development at Taqa Morocco.
12:56Today, we presented the results
12:59of the first semester of Taqa Morocco.
13:02In the first semester,
13:05we achieved a global availability rate of 94.1%,
13:09which denotes a mastery of a policy of maintenance
13:13within Taqa Morocco,
13:15which relies on predictive maintenance
13:18based on digitization.
13:21In the first semester,
13:24we also achieved an increase
13:26in the consolidated net result of 13.2%,
13:30going from 606 million dirhams
13:33in the first semester of 2023
13:35to 686 million dirhams in June 2024,
13:40which results from the technical expertise of Taqa Morocco
13:44with a high availability rate
13:46and also from an improvement
13:48of the consolidated net result
13:50of 65 million dirhams,
13:52which is explained mainly
13:54by the investment
13:57and the optimization of the treasury surplus
14:00over the period.
14:01The Tandjaz Festival returns
14:03with a 22nd edition,
14:05which offers a different schedule this year,
14:07with different styles and atmospheres.
14:10Since yesterday, the city of Detroit
14:12vibrates with the rhythm of this festival.
14:14The opening night at the Palace of Arts and Culture
14:17was memorable with a meeting
14:19between Omar Sosa Cuarteto Afro-Cubano
14:22and Magis Bokas Afro-Gnawa Blues Trio.
14:33The 22nd edition of the Tandjaz Festival
14:35offers the Tangerine audience
14:37a particularly rich and diverse schedule.
14:40I invite you to watch this interview
14:42with our correspondent,
14:44Moulay Ahmed Al-Alami, president of the Tandjaz Festival.
14:47It's a pleasure to have Moulay Ahmed Al-Alami
14:49on my side,
14:51president of Tandjaz.
14:53Moulay Ahmed Al-Alami,
14:55thank you very much for accepting our invitation.
14:57So, as I said,
14:59a new scene,
15:01what can you tell us about this new development
15:03here at the Palace of Italian Institutions?
15:05Well, yesterday we started
15:07with the opening at the Palace of Arts
15:09and each year we will try to bring
15:11small novelties
15:13both in the way of living the festival
15:15and in the experience of the festivalgoers.
15:17So it's very important for us
15:19to offer people
15:21moments of sharing
15:23in good conditions.
15:25So the Paceo scene,
15:27it will host the first concert
15:29at the Palace of Italian Institutions
15:31with a dance class
15:33accompanied by great musicians,
15:35Sugar Pie and Candyman.
15:37And every day, Friday and Saturday,
15:39we will be on this stage to start.
15:41Then we will have the closing,
15:43the jam sessions that come back
15:45at the Palace of Italian Institutions
15:47in this very beautiful space.
15:49And then we will live between the inside
15:51and the outside,
15:53we will have fanfares outside,
15:55the two concerts on the big stage,
15:57the MCI stage.
15:59And then we will have here,
16:01on the Volkswagen stage that you see behind me,
16:03the more jazz, more intimate concerts.
16:05So the two spaces will cohabit.
16:07It is also a first at Tandjaz
16:09and then people will go inside.
16:11There, the two spaces will cohabit.
16:13So we will offer people the possibility
16:15to stay in the two spaces,
16:17so restoration spaces,
16:19they can rest here or there.
16:21And so spend from 8 p.m.
16:23to 3 a.m.
16:25all night long
16:27discovering artists.
16:29We have Mulatu Astatke who will open tonight,
16:31a legend of Ethiopian jazz.
16:33It has always been a desire
16:35to highlight this very African jazz.
16:37And here we have a great opportunity
16:39because this stage, you will see,
16:41it has grown.
16:43There are new ways to live the concerts.
16:45It will be standing concerts,
16:47not sitting concerts like before.
16:49So we brought back more festive bands,
16:51Gypsy King, Kezia Jones.
16:53So it will dance, it will move in all directions.
16:55And it's not the only place of the festival
16:57because after we will go to the public stage.
16:59The fanfares continue to walk
17:01in the alleys of the Casbah and Medina.
17:03And so we have a route
17:05that is really nice for people.
17:07It's between a mix of paid and free.
17:09Also a mix
17:11of music styles,
17:13of eras.
17:15Between the swing of the 50s, 60s, 70s
17:17and this new modern jazz
17:19embodied by
17:21Leon Fall,
17:23who is a brilliant Swiss jazzman
17:25who combines
17:27electronic music and jazz.
17:29So really we will have very different facets
17:31of jazz, blues too.
17:33A very good band musician.
17:35So we have about twenty bands
17:37that will come together.
17:39Young talents, people of jazz,
17:41people of other musical styles.
17:43So it's really a very different journey.
17:45And then there are
17:47our hotel partners
17:49who also participate in the festival.
17:51And so we try to involve as many people as possible.
17:53At the same time
17:55at the same time
17:57on the spaces
17:59that we mainly occupy.
18:01The Italian Institutions Palace
18:03is part of the history of Tandjaz.
18:05So we maintain it, but we diversify it.
18:07We stay in Tangier
18:09where the Tandjaz Festival continues.
18:11For the first time, the interior and exterior spaces
18:13of the palace will host parallel programs.
18:15The scene installed in the outside gardens
18:17of the palace will host tonight
18:19two headlining concerts,
18:21both that of the Gypsy Kings and of Kezia Jones.
18:23I suggest you listen to Nicolas Reyes
18:25of the Gypsy Kings group.
18:27Tell our Moroccan viewers
18:29your secret,
18:31that the Gypsy Kings
18:33have so many generations,
18:35so many people, so much love
18:37for this music. What is the secret?
18:39So I think the secret,
18:41well, I don't know it,
18:43but one thing I can say is that
18:45there is a voice
18:47that was given to me.
18:49And a gift, I think too.
18:51That's why this grain of voice,
18:53because it's not me,
18:55it was given to me.
18:57And that's why this group,
18:59the Gypsy Kings,
19:01has always had the idea
19:03to make their own music,
19:05even if it's the rumba.
19:07That's it.
19:09What does it mean
19:11to you to present here
19:13at the Tandjaz? It's true that it
19:15must have taken place last year,
19:17but time wants it,
19:19the spirit wants it.
19:21It's this year, not another
19:23year as we expected.
19:25I think it's time
19:27and the spirit that wants it.
19:29Because I've always loved Morocco.
19:31I've always been to Agadir
19:33in winter, on vacation.
19:35And then I thought,
19:37why wouldn't I come here one day?
19:39With so many,
19:41it's true, grandiosities,
19:43cities,
19:45so big.
19:47And then my dream came true,
19:49to be at Tandjaz,
19:51the festival.
19:53And then I think we're going to
19:55have a very big party
19:57and share these beautiful moments
19:59with our Moroccan friends.
20:01Can I ask you
20:03a little favor?
20:05Can you sing
20:07a little excerpt
20:09for us
20:11about Morocco?
20:13I don't know, I don't know,
20:15I say it like that because I think...
20:17A little excerpt?
20:23First time
20:25with my friends
20:27to see you
20:29Morocco
20:31in my heart
20:35Tandjaz
20:39Thank you very much.
20:41Thank you very much.
