00:00In a few moments, the news will be about the Palestinian government.
00:03Next week, the news will be about the Palestinian government.
00:06Next week, the news will be about the Palestinian government.
00:09Next week, the news will be about the Palestinian government.
00:16Hello and welcome to Mediain TV.
00:18Thanks for joining us for a new news report.
00:21Here are the headlines.
00:2522 Palestinians killed in the night by an Israeli strike in Rezavil.
00:28in Razaville, medical sources state dozens of deaths in another night strike in the north of the territory.
00:38For the first time, Bitcoin is trading 98,000 dollars on the stock market,
00:42records reached by the Trump effect.
00:44The explanations, in a moment.
00:50Shogel Kokalam Maïga is no longer the Prime Minister of Mali.
00:53The President of the Transition, General of the Army Assimi Goyta,
00:56has put an end to his functions and those of his government.
01:0722 Palestinians killed this morning in Razaville in an Israeli strike.
01:11Medical sources state dozens of deaths in another night strike in the north of the territory.
01:16According to Mahmoud Bassel, spokesman for civil defense,
01:1922 people were killed in a strike that targeted a house in Sheikh Radwan, a district of Razaville.
01:25Another Israeli strike, which took place in the area of Beit Lahia and Jabalia,
01:28killed dozens.
01:30Civil defense has not yet announced an assessment for this second strike.
01:38The Israeli army has been continuing its murderous operations in the north of the Gaza Strip for a month and a half.
01:42To have more precision on the situation on the spot,
01:45I propose to listen to an excerpt from the intervention of our correspondent, Alrots Valérie Ferron.
01:51In the northern region, the situation has been dramatic for a month and a half,
01:56since the operation was launched in early October.
02:00Since then, all the inhabitants have been scientifically, totally deprived of food, care,
02:07the hospitals bombed, all the civil defense drawn.
02:11At the moment, in addition to the bombings, the Israeli tanks are in the city of Beit Lahia.
02:18And you also have the military bulldozers, which destroy everywhere.
02:22The Israeli army has launched massive destruction campaigns,
02:26dynamiting neighborhoods, especially in Jabalia, especially in Beit Lahia,
02:30and it also does so in the southern region of Rafah.
02:34So, at the moment, the northern region has been totally isolated for a month and a half.
02:39People are starving, they are besieged.
02:42And you have also, of course, since it is about...
02:46The Israeli policy has been clear from the start,
02:49it is to empty the entire northern region of its population.
02:52The people on the spot resist as they can.
02:54The hospitals try to work by doing the impossible.
02:58You have, however, according to the United Nations,
03:01100,000 to 150,000 children and adults who have already arrived in the city of Gaza,
03:07which only accentuates the problem in the city of Gaza.
03:12And even overloaded.
03:13Let's not forget that at the moment, the majority of the population,
03:17so more than 1,500,000 Palestinian children and adults,
03:21find themselves stuck in a very small part of the Gaza Strip along the coast,
03:27which is also regularly bombed.
03:30And this is going to cause huge problems,
03:34since humanitarian aid does not go in this region either.
03:39Finally, let's add something very serious to this.
03:42The United Nations does not cease, of course,
03:44to denounce the Israeli policy of obstructing all humanitarian aid.
03:50The Trump effect pushes Bitcoin to cross this Thursday the $ 98,000 mark.
03:55The market anticipates a more flexible legislation under the future US administration.
04:00Since Donald Trump's victory on November 5,
04:02the value of Bitcoin has soared by about 35%
04:05after surpassing its last March record.
04:07The digital currency soared above $ 80,000 on November 10,
04:11then $ 90,000 on November 13.
04:14The US president plans to soften the regulation on the digital currency sector,
04:19ensuring that it would make the United States the world capital of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
04:25After spending three years and five months in prison,
04:28Shogel Kokala Maegane is no longer the Prime Minister of Mali.
04:31The President of the Transition, General Assimi Gwaita,
04:34put an end to his functions and those of his government yesterday.
04:37Details with Mohamed Danyoko from Bamako.
04:41After the cancellation early in the morning of the Council of Ministers,
04:45doubts and questions raised within the opinion
04:48have been answered in a special flash on the internet.
04:52Indeed, President General Assimi Gwaita
04:55read the decree of the President
04:57which put an end to the functions of Prime Minister Shogel Kokala Maegane
05:01and all of his government.
05:03It should be noted that this decision of the President of the Transition
05:06did not surprise many in Mali.
05:09Last Saturday, during a meeting to celebrate the first day
05:12of the resumption of the city of Kidal by the Malian Armed Forces,
05:16Shogel Kokala Maegane,
05:19the Prime Minister had taken the opportunity
05:22to denounce the violation of certain recommendations
05:25of the National Assises of the Re-Foundation,
05:28including the creation of a hundred political parties in a few years,
05:32where the Assises recommended to diminish them.
05:35His mismanagement in the decision-making,
05:38including the postponement of elections
05:41and his inability to meet the authorities
05:45to evoke the question of the political future of the Transition
05:48was on the menu of this outing.
05:51An outing that aroused shudders among many organizations
05:54who, through meetings in several cities in the country,
05:57asked the President of the Transition
06:00to separate from his Prime Minister.
06:03Message received 24 hours later,
06:06Shogel Kokala Maegane is no longer the Prime Minister of Mali.
06:15For two days, about thirty young people
06:17from different organizations in Bamako
06:20will train on the techniques of the fight against disinformation
06:23and contribute to social cohesion.
06:25This is a report by Mohamed Danyoko.
06:28The Action for the Promotion of Young Malian Communicators
06:32and its partner, Search for Common Ground,
06:35aims to make young Malians major players
06:38in the fight against disinformation.
06:41After the phase of Gao and Badyangara,
06:44thirty young people from different organizations in Bamako
06:47have become familiar with the tools of verification of facts.
06:50This morning, we met for the session in Bamako.
06:53It brings together thirty participants,
06:56young organizations, media, influencers,
06:59but also other organizations that want to participate
07:02because we all know that we are all concerned with disinformation.
07:05We all use different media to get informed
07:09and this is why this training is crucial for young Malians.
07:13As part of the Sub-Regional Project,
07:16Lafik Ibaru, the Digital Inclusion for Social Cohesion Unicos,
07:19implemented by the NGO Search for Common Ground,
07:22aims to contribute to the youth
07:25for a peaceful and reconciled Mali.
07:28The Unicos project is implemented with our partner APGEC
07:32to strengthen social cohesion
07:35through the dissemination of good information.
07:38The participants are already aware
07:41of the importance of these two days of training.
07:44This training will allow me
07:47to try to get false information.
07:50We are in a digital world,
07:53so it is important to know
07:56what false information is,
07:59which means disinformation.
08:02Knowing what disinformation is,
08:05we can fight against it
08:08because disinformation is used
08:11to spread ideas that lead to conflict.
08:14So it would be good not to participate
08:17in the propaganda of these people.
08:20This way, these young people
08:23will be able to bring their help
08:26to put an end to the crisis
08:29that has plagued Mali for more than 10 years.
08:33In Nigeria, power distribution companies
08:36have announced a new price increase for counters.
08:39Consumers have reacted negatively to this change,
08:42calling it disabling given the economic challenges in the country.
08:45This is a report by Gilbert Tamba from Abuja.
08:50The new tariffs on X have been in force
08:53since November 5.
08:56The price of a single-phase counter
08:59has gone from about 117,000 naira,
09:02that is, 70 euros,
09:05to more than 149,000 naira,
09:08close to 80 euros.
09:11This amount indicates an increase of 28.3%
09:14or more than 32,000 naira,
09:17about 20 euros,
09:20according to the distribution company
09:23I think they should just try
09:26to come back to their decision
09:29given the fact that we are in a difficult economic situation.
09:32The economy is not doing well at the moment
09:35and they just accentuate people's difficulties.
09:38It's really sad.
09:41It's really discouraging
09:44that this could still happen at a time like this
09:47because the Nigerians are desperate.
09:50It's really discouraging
09:53that this could still happen at a time like this
09:56because the Nigerians are desperate.
09:59It's really discouraging
10:02that this could still happen at a time like this
10:05because the Nigerians are desperate.
10:08The price changes are due to the announcement
10:11by the Nigerian Electricity Regulation Commission
10:14last April of a major policy change
10:17in the context of the program
10:20aimed at solving the persistent problems
10:23related to the supply of counters
10:26and the transparency of prices in the electricity sector.
10:29But its consultants and electricity experts think differently.
10:32But its consultants and electricity experts think differently.
10:35But its consultants and electricity experts think differently.
10:38I think the companies manufacturing or assembling
10:41wanted this increase to allow them to recover their prices.
10:44But I would like to see the effect of this on the whole country.
10:47You know, electricity is important for economic development.
10:50I see how many people have been impacted
10:53by the increase in electricity prices
10:56and now by this increase in the price of counters.
11:07This increase in the price of counters
11:10is due to an increase in prices
11:13and the concerns of consumers of electricity.
11:19I pay a lot for my business
11:22by depending on donors or people of goodwill
11:25who assist us to be able to work
11:28when the current economic difficulties affect everyone.
11:35For many Nigerians,
11:38access to electricity is already disrupted
11:42by an unpredictable bill and rising prices.
11:45For many Nigerians,
11:48access to electricity is already disrupted
11:51by an unpredictable bill and rising prices.
11:54An increase in the price of counters
11:57only aggravates the financial pressure.
12:11Launched by the OCP Group in 2018,
12:14the Al Moutmir platform continues its support
12:17for farmers in different regions of Morocco.
12:20The province of Ouazane is among the areas
12:23where many farmers specializing in olive culture
12:26benefit from the support of this initiative.
12:29Here, the program's experts and engineers
12:32supervise the harvesting operations
12:35in one of the application platforms managed by the program.
12:38After harvesting,
12:41we organize trainings
12:44on the platform for the benefit of farmers
12:47to teach them the logging of trees,
12:50an operation aimed at improving
12:53the circulation of air and light through the tree.
12:56The second stage
12:59consists of collecting soil samples
13:02for each area in order to know
13:05its nutritional needs.
13:08On this platform,
13:11like elsewhere,
13:14farmers previously worked in a disorganized way
13:17until the Al Moutmir initiative allowed them
13:20to access free soil analysis,
13:23a scientific program for the use of adapted fertilizers,
13:26efforts that led, according to farmers,
13:29to a significant increase in productivity.
13:33We have benefited from a follow-up
13:36and professional support for years.
13:39Today, we are more motivated than ever
13:42to adopt rational agricultural practices
13:45to improve the productivity of our agricultural operations.
13:51This platform dedicated to the olive tree
13:54is one of the more than 970 platforms
13:57created this year at the national level for this industry.
14:00The Al Moutmir program supports farmers
14:03in other agricultural sectors,
14:06thus contributing to the creation of millions of jobs
14:09throughout the kingdom.
14:30More than 1,500 brands representing 50 countries
14:33on a surface area of 30,000 square meters.
14:36This year, Mauritania is the country of honor,
14:39a choice underlining the strong links between Morocco and this country,
14:42especially in the field of construction.
14:45We listen together to Ngalou Mamadou Ndiang,
14:48Mauritanian Minister of Habitat,
14:51but also Youssef Ben Hatira, one of the exhibitors at this show.
14:54Today's visit allowed me to discover
14:57the latest developments in Mauritania.
15:00The last meeting I will have with Mrs. Ndiang
15:03will allow us to develop a roadmap
15:06for better cooperation and exchange
15:09of expertise between Mauritania and Morocco.
15:12I visited several African standings.
15:15Mauritania, as you know,
15:18is the president of the African Union,
15:21so we wanted to have many standings
15:24to see the African experience in general
15:27and especially the Moroccan experience.
15:30We are present in 10 cities in Morocco
15:33with 14 stores
15:36and we have a very large range of lighting products
15:39with more than 1,500 products.
15:42We are here at Cib,
15:45this is our fourth participation in 8 years.
15:48We are at a stand of 72 square meters.
15:51We tried to show the latest trends
15:54in the textile rail behind us.
15:58And now it's time for the guest of the big news.
16:01We are live from Pioraba with Marc Vincent,
16:04representative of UNICEF in Morocco,
16:07who will tell us about the presentation this morning
16:10at the headquarters of the National Observatory of Children's Rights,
16:13the results of the survey on children's rights in Morocco.
16:16An event organized as part of the activities
16:19of the National Observatory of Children's Rights.
16:22Hello Marc Vincent.
16:25Hello.
16:28UNICEF has just made public the results of its survey
16:31on children's rights in Morocco.
16:34What are the main lines of this survey?
16:40Thank you very much for this opportunity.
16:43The survey was done in partnership
16:46with the National Observatory of Children's Rights.
16:49What they noticed was a survey
16:52on the knowledge of Moroccan children
16:55about their rights.
16:5850% of children replied
17:01that they partially know their rights
17:04and I think it was a good achievement.
17:10The other elements had the opportunity
17:13to talk about their priorities.
17:16Their priorities were education,
17:19protection against violence,
17:22and health care.
17:25Are there emerging or worrying trends
17:28in the perception of children's rights in Morocco?
17:37I think that children
17:40have a priority
17:43and where they think that
17:46their priority is
17:49access to education in rural areas.
17:52It is interesting that it was children
17:55based in urban and rural areas
17:58who noticed this challenge.
18:01The second challenge was about
18:04the importance of quality education.
18:07The third challenge was about
18:10the importance of access
18:13to mental health care.
18:16These were the first three priorities.
18:19There were others, such as protection
18:22against violence and access to other forms
18:25of health care.
18:28The first three were well marked by the children.
18:31You conducted this survey
18:35with a sample of 7,500 young people,
18:38of whom 1,400 or a little more than 1,400 children
18:41aged between 9 and 18 years old.
18:44How did you ensure that this survey reflected
18:47a diversity of opinions and situations?
18:53The Mew Report platform is an open platform
18:56for everyone, for all children
18:59who want to register.
19:03In the survey, we noticed
19:06a 50% urban response rate
19:09and a 50% rural response rate.
19:12We also disaggregated
19:15according to age.
19:18The Mew Report platform
19:21makes a lot of effort to ensure
19:24that girls are well integrated
19:27in this platform and that
19:30economic opportunities are well recognized
19:33so that we can register
19:36as many children as possible.
19:39We believe that this platform
19:42is open to everyone.
19:45What we want to do
19:48is to continue the petition
19:51so that other children in Morocco
19:54have the opportunity to express themselves
19:58Today, more than half of the children
20:01surveyed believe that their rights
20:04are respected in their surroundings
20:07while nearly a third denounce
20:10the lack of respect for their rights.
20:13What are the obstacles to overcome
20:16to protect children by giving them
20:19more rights?
20:23Thank you for the question.
20:26Clearly, what we are already doing
20:29with the National Children's Observatory
20:32is to popularize and train
20:35children on the finger.
20:38But we also have several
20:41UNICEF programmatic axes here in Morocco.
20:44The first is child protection
20:47in all areas.
20:50The second is around social protection
20:53and social inclusion.
20:56The third is around education.
20:59Clearly, children have highlighted
21:02the importance of education.
21:05And the fourth is health access.
21:08We have programs in partnership
21:11with the government.
21:14Each year we have work plans
21:17to go where children are disadvantaged.
21:20We are very present in rural areas.
21:23We work with communities
21:26with decentralized state instruments.
21:33We believe that our program
21:36is also based on regular consultation
21:39and on measures and indicators
21:42that are very robust with the government.
21:46Of course, there is a lot of work to be done.
21:49That is why we remain
21:52on the side of the government
21:55but also on the side of children
21:58and communities where we see
22:01our programs are welcome.
22:04Following this survey,
22:07but also many actions
22:10jointly implemented by UNICEF and the NGO,
22:13how will they contribute
22:16to improving the conditions
22:19of children in Morocco
22:22through the work of UNICEF and the NGO?
22:28Could you repeat the question?
22:31How do UNICEF and the NGO
22:34plan to use these results
22:37to improve the situation of children?
22:46Our hope is that we can use
22:49the results to show
22:52what the priorities of children are.
22:55We work in close partnership
22:58with the NGO
23:01to see how we can use the results
23:04and have discussions with parents
23:07and influencers to react
23:10to the priorities of children.
23:13What the NGO has already done
23:16and which is also really important
23:19is that they had a discussion
23:22with parliamentarians
23:25and ministers themselves
23:28and they asked questions.
23:31So it is good that children
23:34have this opportunity to express themselves
23:37in a programmatic way.
23:40I know that with the Ministry of Youth
23:43there are several models
23:46of how we could use the results of the survey
23:49and put the results into action
23:52because the long-term objective
23:55is to have results for children.
23:58UNICEF and the NGO have been working
24:01together for several years
24:04and I would like to congratulate
24:07the NGO, the Moroccan government
24:10and the whole community
24:13for all the progress that has been made
24:16but there is still a lot to do.
24:19The important thing is that we work
24:22with our state, municipal and decentralized partners
24:25to see how we can improve the situation
24:28of children.
24:32This is the future of Morocco
24:35and it is in everyone's interest
24:38to ensure that every child
24:41has the opportunity to express themselves
24:44in a way that they deserve.
24:47And finally, if we can go back
24:50a little bit to the question
24:53of children's rights,
24:56what is the role of the NGO
24:59in the field of civil society in Morocco?
25:02How did they collaborate with UNICEF
25:05to give Moroccan children more rights?
25:08Can we go back a little bit
25:11to the actions or the mission
25:14of the Moroccan civil society?
25:20Yes, as I told you,
25:23we have a high-level presence
25:26and I think that was one of the added values
25:29of UNICEF, that we work directly
25:32with the community, directly with the children
25:35in a strong partnership with the government
25:38and the civil society.
25:41We have contact with several foundations,
25:44several associations and the idea is to call
25:47everyone involved in children's rights
25:50and to see how we can work together.
25:54Of course, it is under the leadership
25:57of the government, but it is in a strong partnership
26:00with the communities and civil society.
26:03Because civil society, often,
26:06they are also closer to the community
26:09and they have an important perspective
26:12and an important role to play.
26:15Well, thank you, Marc-Vincent,
26:18for all these details.
26:21You have made a result,
26:24you have made an assessment of the results
26:27of the survey on children's rights in Morocco,
26:30which was presented today at the seat
26:33of the National Observatory of Children's Rights.
26:36Dear viewers, this is the end of this newscast.
26:39Thank you for following it, but stay with us,
26:42we'll be back in a few minutes for a new newscast.
