00:00Good evening and welcome to Medea TV, thank you for joining us for a new newscast, here are the headlines.
00:20The coup d'envoi of the charity bazaar was given today in Rabat by its royal attestation, Princess Laila Mariam, around this event organized at the National Library of the Kingdom in an instant.
00:34Israel pursues its strikes in Lebanon, the Israeli army violates the ceasefire and announces having targeted positions of the Hezbollah.
00:44The International Film Festival in Marrakech continues in the city of Okhre, 14 films without official competition, we talk about it right now.
00:55Princess Laila Mariam presided today at the opening ceremony of the charity bazaar of the Diplomatic Circle, an event held under the patronage of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
01:04It was this morning at the National Library of the Kingdom where its royal attestation visited the different stands presenting a wide variety of handcrafted and terroir products from several countries.
01:14This event is the flagship activity of the Diplomatic Circle, the objective is to raise funds to support Moroccan NGOs working in the fields of education, health and women's development in rural areas.
01:25We listen together to Shakila Oumoutani, ambassador of Rwanda in Morocco, and Hameda Mohamed Hassan, wife of the ambassador of Djibouti in Morocco.
01:33It is the first time that Rwanda participates and we are extremely happy to have this opportunity to join the rest of the diplomatic community here in Morocco to promote our countries,
01:48to show what our countries can do with other countries represented here in Morocco, but also with the Kingdom of Morocco.
01:58As you can see on our stand, we promote certain products such as coffee from Rwanda, tea from Rwanda and many other products, including the promotion of Rwandan art.
02:15For us, it is a great opportunity to be here today, but above all to see that the occasion was crowned by the presence of His Royal Highness the Princess,
02:30and it shows the commitment of the Kingdom of Morocco in promoting international cooperation.
02:38In fact, it is a solidarity bazaar. It is to help associations that take care of women and children who are disabled or who are sick or who are in a precarious situation.
02:55It is to help them. This event is held once a year. So we participated and we are here to help them more.
03:07World perspective on cyber security. What new paradigms in the era of hybrid threats, a hot topic discussed this morning during a panel organized during the MEDEI forum.
03:17This is a report by Faysal Abouroch and Cheyma Fikley.
03:20The rapid progress of digital technologies has certainly opened new ways of development, but they have also increased the risks for nations, companies and individuals.
03:35Today, cyberattacks go beyond simple hacking. They endanger critical infrastructures, disrupt democratic processes and question national sovereignty, which redefines the very nature of modern warfare.
03:50Hybrid threats that combine cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns and economic espionage have become privileged tactics to destabilize countries without traditional military engagement.
04:05Listen, the panel was very enriching because we talked about the new paradigms that are taking place today through hybrid threats at the international level.
04:16You know, today the world is experiencing mutations, so resilience and state sovereignty are threatened.
04:23Today, the world is experiencing mutations, so resilience and state sovereignty are threatened.
04:32Today, the world is experiencing mutations, so resilience and state sovereignty are threatened.
04:38Today, the world is experiencing mutations, so resilience and state sovereignty are threatened.
04:44What should we do? How should we try to heal? How should we try to rectify?
04:48If we look at the challenges and threats faced by democracies today, with threats such as disinformation,
04:58we can attack terrorist groups or criminal transnational organizations, we can attack infrastructures.
05:12In fact, today, these hybrid threats can cost too much to a state.
05:17Countries must now re-evaluate their defense strategies.
05:20It is now vital to include cyber security considerations,
05:25and this by establishing rapid response mechanisms and reinforcing the resilience of systems against threats.
05:33This requires increased collaboration between governments and the private sector, as well as between nations.
05:40One of the most important things is Morocco.
05:44One of the most important things is Morocco.
05:46Morocco and the Global South, by extension, have a fairly new cyber infrastructure.
05:52This is a real asset that will allow them to delimit the boundaries of these technologies.
05:56In addition, it will allow governments and citizens to avoid the clutches of disinformation
06:02and prevent any drift resulting from the misuse of these technologies.
06:08Artificial intelligence and the Internet, these technologies that continue to develop,
06:14must be protected against increasingly complex attacks.
06:18The parties involved are called to adopt proactive cyber security measures rather than simply reactive.
06:27The Gaza Strip is besieged, piled up, cut off from the world, and almost everything is missing.
06:32This morning, three humanitarians were killed in an Israeli strike.
06:35A Hamas delegation is expected in Cairo for talks in view of a truce after 14 months of war.
06:41The only truce concluded in this conflict a year ago had allowed the return of more than a hundred hostages
06:46detained in Gaza in exchange for the liberation of 240 Palestinians held by Israel.
06:51Since the multiple mediations attempted by Washington, Doha and Cairo have not succeeded in putting out the fire.
06:59As a result of this impasse in negotiations, the Israeli army continues to activate its war machine.
07:04A situation that haunts the sleep of Palestinians.
07:06During his recent visit to the Palestinian enclave,
07:09the head of the UN Human Rights Office denounced a horrible situation with inhumane living conditions.
07:14For him, this territory has sunk into anarchy.
07:17On this, I propose to listen to the head of the UN Human Rights Office in the Palestinian territories.
07:22Every time I visit Gaza, the level of destruction makes me tremble.
07:29This time, I was particularly alarmed by the prevalence of hunger.
07:36After 13 months of incessant violence, the threat of death by hunger, disease or bombing is real.
07:44The local markets are now non-existent.
07:48The UN has not been able to take any humanitarian aid into northern Gaza.
07:53The UN has not been able to take any humanitarian aid into northern Gaza.
07:58Approximately 70,000 people are still besieged.
08:03Israel continues its murderous strikes in Lebanon.
08:05The Israeli army continues to put out the fire according to the Lebanese army
08:08and announces that it has targeted positions of the Hezbollah.
08:11The Israeli Air Force said it had led a raid in the east of the country
08:15on sites of military infrastructure near crossroads between Syria and Lebanon.
08:20In Syria, the fighting continues.
08:23Rebel factions have taken control of the Aleppo airport in the north.
08:27Terrorist factions of Hayat al-Hirshem, dominated by the former Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda,
08:32and their allies have taken control of several strategic locations.
08:36The Syrian observer of human rights said that the rebels had also progressed in the provinces of Idlib and Hama,
08:41taking control of dozens of locations without any resistance.
08:46The return of Donald Trump to the White House could raise questions
08:50about the possibility of a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.
08:54Yesterday, the Ukrainian president made it clear that he was available
08:57and marked a pause in the fighting before recovering the areas occupied by the Russian army.
09:01Volodymyr Zenetsky said he was ready to accept NATO protection guarantees
09:05if such an agreement could offer security to the rest of Ukraine and put an end to military escalation.
09:11The head of the European Diplomacy condemns the attack of a vital water supply channel in Kosovo.
09:17José Borrell called it a terrorist attack, an act of sabotage against civil infrastructure.
09:22Several people were arrested and security measures around the facilities were reinforced.
09:27The explosion damaged a vital water supply channel for thousands of inhabitants and two thermal power plants.
09:33Priscina immediately accused the Serbian government of having orchestrated this attack, which Belgrade denied.
09:40In the face of the cessation of social dialogue with the authorities for more than two years,
09:45the 5th National Congress of Social Movements was launched in Tunisia.
09:49Participants in this conference are looking for serious solutions
09:52that will allow them to re-mobilize themselves in the face of the political climate
09:56that prohibits and criminalizes trade union work.
09:59This is a report from Najwa Bechat.
10:03A new meeting of the annual conference of protest movements
10:07was held this year at the headquarters of the National Union of Labour
10:11at a time when political power was closing all the doors of dialogue to social organizations.
10:20There is a suffocating economic crisis that has directly affected the social situation
10:25in terms of a decrease in purchasing power, an increase in the number of unemployed
10:30and an increase in the poverty rate,
10:33with the return of the iron fist in state relations with organizations.
10:40At the meeting, the Tunisian League for Human Rights and the Association of Democratic Women
10:46once again mentioned the decline of rights and freedoms,
10:50emphasizing that the government has become an obstacle for many organizations,
10:55making them unable to mobilize and claim social and economic rights.
11:04By criminalizing the work of associations,
11:07the political power is now trying to limit the work of its activists.
11:12For its part, the Tunisian League for Human Rights will not abandon its role
11:18and will stand by the demonstrators and those who claim their legitimate rights
11:24while demanding that these rights stipulated in international agreements
11:28and even in the Tunisian constitution be guaranteed.
11:38Today's meeting is an opportunity for organizations, associations
11:43and even political parties to discuss new forms of struggle
11:48so that the voices of the oppressed and the poor are heard.
11:54Despite the restrictions, the Tunisian Social Observatory revealed an increase in protest actions
12:00marked by growing social and economic demands.
12:04In October 2024, there was an intensification of social movements in Tunisia,
12:10with a total of 300 protest actions,
12:14an increase of 9% compared to the previous month.
12:18Protests are largely dominated by economic and social demands,
12:24with a strong involvement of workers, teachers
12:28and populations affected by the ongoing economic and social crisis.
12:33Demands also include unfulfilled electoral promises.
12:40The Club des Ambassadeurs is accredited by the Republic of Mali.
12:44It has just organized the first edition of the Diplomatic Bazaar
12:47with the presence of about twenty countries, including Morocco.
12:50The space for exchange and conviviality is about, through this activity,
12:53reaffirming the links between Mali and the countries through their embassies.
12:57This is a report by Mohamed Dagnoko.
13:00Traditional clothes, cosmetics, tea, cakes and restaurants
13:05are as many facets of the Kingdom of Morocco
13:08as the Embassy has exhibited at this first edition of the Diplomatic Bazaar.
13:13All things that have been greatly appreciated by the number of visitors
13:17in the Embassy of the United States in Mali.
13:20I love Moroccan tea, I love Moroccan tea,
13:26and I also really like cakes.
13:28And look, look for yourself, here are my favorites,
13:31I really like these cakes,
13:33and the Ambassador here is one of the people who are the most dear to me.
13:37I love Morocco, I love its culture,
13:39and I am happy to be in the stand of Morocco.
13:44These exhibitions allow to make known Morocco and its culture
13:48to Malians and outsiders from other countries present at this edition.
13:54We are among twenty countries that are exhibited here,
13:59and we are on three stands.
14:01There is a stand of Moroccan culture, Moroccan coffee,
14:07and many Moroccan cosmetics products.
14:09And then we have a Moroccan restaurant that is right next to it,
14:12Maida, here is the Moroccan touch, on the other side is Maida,
14:16and here is the Ambassador who presents a bit of Moroccan tea and Moroccan cakes.
14:20Beyond closing the links, this initiative of the Club of Embassies and Consuls
14:25aims to thank Mali and its people.
14:29We said to ourselves, the time has come to thank the population,
14:33as we have the support of the State, as the State has made everything available,
14:38we should also send the elevator and say a little thank you.
14:44An initiative appreciated to its due value by the Malian authorities.
14:49It is a concrete demonstration of mission leaders,
14:53to get closer to the Malian population,
14:56and to better understand its expectations,
14:59to judge its sense of sharing.
15:02The performances and visits of the stands have been strong elements of this diplomatic bazaar.
15:10Let's take a look at the direction of the city of Ocre,
15:13where the International Film Festival of Marrakech is being held.
15:23Marrakech International Film Festival
15:31The send-off of the International Film Festival of Marrakech was given yesterday.
15:35This inevitable meeting of the 7th of March
15:37is held under the patronage of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
15:40The event is at its 21st edition,
15:42and as every year, we have attended the parade of prestigious guests
15:46to whom the red carpet has been given.
15:48It was also an opportunity for the public to welcome the members of the jury,
15:51who will have bread on the table with the launch of the official competition.
15:55Africa is well represented, with great directors who were at the microphone of our special envoys.
16:01At the beginning, in 2020, I participated in the Atlas workshops,
16:04where I won the Djiri Grand Prix,
16:06which helped me to start the shooting of my film.
16:10I am very honored to present my film here,
16:14the film is where it started.
16:16What is good with this workshop,
16:19it allows you to have a real professional meeting,
16:22which pushes you a little,
16:24which allows you to take a big step, a big leap,
16:28to finally launch not only the project,
16:31but also to trigger the possibility of financing the film.
16:35I am happy to come a year after the crowning of my film,
16:39I won Best Director,
16:41and I am happy to come to see the new generation,
16:44to see the films they will propose,
16:46to see how it is going in Africa this year.
16:48We needed another very big festival,
16:51with the Festival du Fespaco,
16:53which takes place in sub-Saharan Africa.
16:57It is really important that the two Africas meet.
17:04It is really important that the South meets the North,
17:06and that the North meets the South.
17:08I was very happy last year to see that a lot of Moroccans came to see my film,
17:13asked me a lot of questions,
17:14and Moroccans from several generations.
17:16It means that there is really a community,
17:18a connection between all Africans.
17:20This is my first time, and I am extremely happy.
17:22I love Morocco,
17:24I have been coming to Morocco for more than 30 years,
17:27a lot of Essaouira, a lot of Papua.
17:29I am very happy,
17:31there is a very nice schedule,
17:33I can't wait to see the film tonight,
17:35I can't wait to see the film of Walter Salles,
17:36I can't wait to see the film of Cronenberg,
17:38I am very happy.
17:40This is the 13th time I come here,
17:42always with a great pleasure,
17:44and this festival,
17:46since 2000,
17:48continues to bring together the greatest talents
17:51of the world,
17:53which has become a very important destination
17:55for great productions,
17:57and which also allows young national talents
18:00to find their way.
18:02It's still wonderful to be here,
18:05already as a guest,
18:07and in addition to presenting a film
18:10that touches me a lot,
18:13because this relationship,
18:16these encounters I had with these great artists,
18:19it's Maria Callas.
18:21They fell under the charm of Marrakech
18:23and its festival,
18:24which over the years has become
18:26an essential rendezvous of the 7th Art.
18:27We listen to some great names of cinema
18:29who were on the microphone,
18:30of our special envoys,
18:31Ilhan Bradda and Hayat Ziyani.
18:33What I like about international festivals
18:35is the mixture of cultures
18:37and all these ways of making cinema,
18:39which at the same time
18:41share a lot of things,
18:43the emotion,
18:44to look at people we don't look at,
18:46and the films they present to us,
18:48so it's rather diversity.
18:51In the festival,
18:52there are very famous directors,
18:54there are others who are less.
18:55It's always an opportunity to discover,
18:57and what's great about the weekend I'm here,
18:59is that there are a lot of masterclasses
19:01of directors,
19:02and it's always great and better
19:05than reading an interview,
19:06than hearing people talk live
19:08about how they make things,
19:09what they dream of,
19:10what they're afraid of.
19:12Honestly, I want to see women,
19:13I want to see men.
19:14What matters to me are the films,
19:16and then, of course,
19:17as I said before,
19:18what's great is to have films
19:20with such different horizons,
19:22people who...
19:23How can I put it?
19:24The language of cinema is universal,
19:25but of course,
19:26we don't tell the same things
19:27depending on where we come from.
19:28So what matters to me
19:30is to see films
19:31that speak to me of this moment
19:32that we all live in,
19:33of this time,
19:34of today,
19:36and where they come from.
19:38Obviously,
19:39I'm particularly interested
19:40because there are more women
19:41making films today,
19:42but men are also interested.
19:44I'm not just exclusively interested
19:46in women's films,
19:48but of course,
19:49being a woman myself
19:50and having Spark for that,
19:51yes, I'm interested.
19:53I'm used to festivals,
19:55I just haven't come since,
19:57I think,
19:58before COVID.
19:59I've come about four times,
20:01I think,
20:02or five times to festivals,
20:04and each time,
20:05it's a great pleasure.
20:06I'm so happy to be back this year
20:08because there's a wonderful spirit,
20:10we make extraordinary encounters
20:13with Moroccan artists,
20:16with international artists,
20:18and it's just wonderful
20:21to be able to celebrate cinema
20:23in this way.
20:24It's really exceptional.
20:25To be in Marrakech,
20:26frankly,
20:27I think it's going to be
20:29the 15th or 18th time,
20:31so I have the impression that...
20:33It's weird to say this,
20:34but at home,
20:35it's something
20:36that I always find
20:37with immense joy.
20:39And I come from Belgium,
20:41which is a country
20:42that is very, very close
20:43to Morocco.
20:46Then, coming to the festival,
20:48it's the first time as a jury,
20:49I've already come as a guest,
20:50to see films,
20:51to have conversations
20:52with the directors.
20:53It's quite impressive,
20:55I must admit
20:56that I'm a bit intimidated
20:57because the jury,
20:58lots of people I know
21:00whom I admire at work,
21:02it's the very first time,
21:04so it's very exciting.
21:06Do I expect films?
21:08I think it's always better
21:10not to expect something
21:11to have a surprise, in fact.
21:14As soon as you expect something,
21:16you have to be ready
21:18to receive everything.
21:19That's it,
21:20that's the arrangement.
21:22During the official delivery
21:23of the International Film Festival
21:24in Marrakech,
21:25our special envoy,
21:26Ilhan Baradas,
21:27met with Melita Toscan,
21:28director and advisor
21:29to the president
21:30of the FIFM Foundation
21:31and Halih Hichy,
21:32general coordinator
21:33of the festival,
21:34whom we will meet
21:35right now.
21:37It's been a great year
21:40in terms of programming,
21:43films,
21:44but also personalities.
21:45You could see
21:46that this year
21:47we have 15 film lessons.
21:49It's the only festival
21:50in the world
21:51that has two film lessons
21:52per day.
21:54So even at the Cannes Film Festival,
21:55they only have two or three
21:57in 15 days.
21:59We have two per day.
22:00So that's a novelty.
22:03We have a lot of things.
22:05We have the cinema avenue,
22:07which will be magnificent
22:09with animations.
22:10We have the Maiden Theater,
22:12where the film lessons will take place.
22:15We also have the critical workshops,
22:17where we will also,
22:18with a very, very large
22:19international film critic,
22:21help all these young people
22:23who want to become
22:24film critics.
22:26So a lot of new things
22:28to help young people
22:30here in Morocco,
22:32in the Middle East,
22:33and in Africa.
22:34This year we have a selection
22:35of a very large diversity,
22:36with films of all genres.
22:38We will present 71 films
22:40from 32 countries,
22:41with, as I said,
22:43a very large diversity of films.
22:45We will find drama,
22:47comedy,
22:48romantic comedy,
22:50police films,
22:51thrillers,
22:52political documentaries.
22:53So we are really
22:54on a very large diversity
22:56to be able to include
22:58all audiences
22:59at the festival this year.
23:01I also remind you that
23:02almost all film screenings
23:04are presented by the film teams,
23:07so they travel here in Marrakech
23:09to meet the festival audience.
23:11And often we also organize
23:12debates at the end of the screenings.
23:15So I really invite viewers
23:17to come and attend
23:18this festival,
23:19which is open and free.
23:21I remind you,
23:22you just have to go
23:23to the festival website
23:24to request an accreditation
23:26to be able to access
23:27all the screenings
23:28and the different activities
23:29of the festival.
23:45The Maroc-Espagne-Portugal candidacy
23:47to the Organization de la Côte du Monde
23:48is characterized by its overall quality
23:50and exceeds the minimum requirements
23:52of the required organization.
23:53This is what FIFA reveals
23:54in its Candidacy Evaluation Report.
23:56This solidity is found
23:57in the technical evaluation
23:59that affects both
24:00the infrastructures
24:01and the commercial potential.
24:03The candidacy offers
24:04a wide range of sites
24:05of great quality,
24:06distributed across 17 cities.
24:09FIFA attributes to the tripartite candidacy
24:11the average grade of 4.2 out of 5.
24:24This is the end of this newscast.
24:26Thank you for following it.
24:27Stay with us,
24:28the news continues on Mediain TV.
