00:00Good evening everyone, happy to see you again for this new information meeting on Médien-TV.
00:21And while the humanitarian situation is more dramatic in Gaza and while the hunger is getting worse,
00:29UNRWA announces the suspension of the procession of its aid via the main passage, arguing that the latter is no longer safe.
00:37The Syrian army reinforces its deployment around the city of Hama, in the center of the country,
00:44after the offensive of the rebel groups, which would now control the entirety of Aleppo, the second Syrian city.
00:5480 years ago, day by day, in Senegal, the French army opened fire on gunmen,
01:00regrouped in the camp of Tiaroy, who demanded the payment of their salaries.
01:04A massacre commemorated today in Senegal, report to follow in this edition.
01:09But before developing these titles, let's open our page dedicated to the Marrakech International Film Festival.
01:19Marrakech International Film Festival
01:34And we start this day in the city of Ocre, where the Marrakech International Film Festival continues.
01:41Members of the jury spoke yesterday in front of the press,
01:45to highlight the role of cinema as, I quote,
01:49a vector of dialogue and social transformation.
01:52For the president of the jury, Luca Guadagnino,
01:55cinema transcends cultural borders and invites a collective reflection on contemporary issues,
02:02to promote stories that bear meaning and hope.
02:06The Italian director also mentioned his personal attachment to Marrakech,
02:10a city that he considers as a source of inspiration, rich and timeless.
02:19And our special envoy to Marrakech, Ilhan Barada and Hayat Ziani,
02:23extended their microphones to the great names of this yamar,
02:26who do not hide their joy of taking part in this film festival.
02:30Together we listen to them.
02:32It's just an honor to be able to come and present the film here.
02:36Marrakech is a festival that I like a lot.
02:38I came five years ago to present a film at the Atlas workshops.
02:44So today I'm delighted to be here with Payal to present her film.
02:48It's a new... I mean, it's as if we had changed our clothes.
02:53And the jury is magnificent, once again.
02:57I think this festival rises in all that is glamour and celebrity.
03:04The majority is huge, huge. I'm very happy to be here.
03:09I think it's quite grandiose, to tell you the truth.
03:12The hospitality is there.
03:15And the jury is quite prestigious.
03:19Not to say intimidating, because they are simple people.
03:23And above all, they are filmmakers, cinephiles, actors, directors,
03:27whom I admire at work.
03:29So it's a great honor and a great recognition for me
03:32to represent Morocco in this beautiful jury.
03:35It's always an honor and a pleasure to attend this festival and to be a part of it.
03:40And to meet the family of cinema, whether Moroccan or international.
03:45And it's true that this year we are lucky to have exceptional guests.
03:50Every year, but especially this year.
03:53A tribute to Sean Penn, I think it's self-defeating, I want to say.
03:58When you see his career as a man, as an actor, as a director,
04:03from his positions as well.
04:06Of course, I am happy that Marrakech welcomes him
04:11and pays homage to him as he deserves.
04:13It's difficult, in a few words, to say everything I think of someone like him.
04:19But I think everyone already knows all the reasons to give him,
04:25to pay tribute to him, to love him, to protect him
04:30as someone very unique and exceptional.
04:36Marrakech, Marrakech
04:50At the end of Maydays, the grand prize of this forum was awarded yesterday
04:56to three eminent leaders of the Caribbean,
04:59namely the Prime Minister of Grenada, Deacon Mitchell,
05:02the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerritt,
05:07and the Prime Minister of Saint Lucie, Philippe-Joseph Pierre,
05:11awarded during the closing ceremony of this 16th edition of the Maydays Forum.
05:16These distinctions highlight the solid relations of cooperation
05:21that unites Morocco and the Caribbean nations.
05:24And on this, let's listen to the Moroccan Minister of Employment, Younes Khoury,
05:28and the reaction of Brahim Fesiferi, President of the Amadeus Institute,
05:32organizer of this forum.
05:34The closing of this year's Maydays Forum is very successful
05:40by the presence of three heads of government,
05:43to highlight the importance of the Moroccan model in terms of development,
05:48the leadership of His Majesty on a regional and international level,
05:53and above all, the projects and the dynamics within our society.
05:57We are a country that is moving forward with a lot of confidence
06:01in its economic model, in its social model,
06:04but above all, in its societal approach.
06:07Inclusion, democracy, but also strategic choices,
06:12inspired by His Majesty, have been, to date,
06:16a source of inspiration for all participants.
06:19Naturally, we are also listening to international experiences
06:23to be able to enrich ours.
06:25After four intense days of debate,
06:28the Maydays Forum, which is supported by His Majesty the King,
06:32Mohamed Lainzrou,
06:34ends with a positive dynamic,
06:37especially in terms of massive support
06:40for the territorial integrity of our country,
06:43for the Moroccan identity of Sahara,
06:45by many African brother countries,
06:47but also by many Caribbean countries,
06:50represented here in Tangier by heads of state or heads of government.
06:54I can only rejoice in this strong demand
06:58for support for the sovereignty of our Southern Provinces.
07:03Alhamdulillah, the Maydays Forum,
07:05because the theme is sovereignty,
07:07Alhamdulillah, this forum has enabled us to highlight
07:11both the progress of our Southern Provinces,
07:15through the various royal visions of development
07:19of our Southern Provinces,
07:21and also to show that today,
07:23the Sahara is a hub of investment,
07:25especially towards Africa,
07:27but also a gateway to the Atlantic,
07:30especially allowing the disengagement of the Sahel countries.
07:35In light of the international news,
07:38the Syrian army is strengthening its deployment
07:41around the city of Hama, in the center of the country,
07:44measures aimed at preventing any attempt
07:47to infiltrate or break in from the rebels,
07:50who continue their offensive against the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
07:54They would have taken control of the entirety of Aleppo,
07:57the second city in Syria, and its airport.
08:00The toll of this offensive exceeds 412 deaths,
08:04of which 61 civilians,
08:06according to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights.
08:12The deaths are the daily toll of the inhabitants of Gaza.
08:15Nearly 44,500 Palestinians have been killed
08:18by the Israeli army since the beginning of the war.
08:22All humanitarian workers are in the red in the Palestinian enclave.
08:26And while the famine is intensifying and spreading in the territory,
08:30the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees
08:33announces the suspension of aid by Kerem Shalom,
08:36the main point of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
08:39For the chief of UNRWA,
08:41the food trucks were all stolen yesterday
08:44during their journey to Gaza.
08:50And in the other war that opposes Ukraine to Russia,
08:54the Ukrainian president assures that his country needs more weapons
08:57and guarantees of security from NATO
09:00before any negotiations with Russia.
09:03Volodymyr Zelensky spoke after a meeting
09:06with the new head of European diplomacy,
09:09Kajak Ayas, and the new president of the European Council,
09:12Antonio Costa,
09:14both on a symbolic visit of support to Kiev
09:17on the first day of their mandate.
09:19This trip takes place while tensions are at their highest
09:22between Moscow and the West,
09:24following Ukrainian strikes on Russian soil
09:27by American and British missiles
09:30and the shooting by Russia of an experimental hypersonic missile
09:33and nuclear threats.
09:39We are in the African continent
09:42and this is one of the most tragic pages
09:45of the African-French history.
09:4780 years ago, day by day, in Senegal,
09:50the French army opened fire on its own men,
09:53gunmen grouped in the camp of Tiaroy
09:56and who demanded the payment of their salaries
09:58but also the recognition of their sacrifices
10:01during the Second World War.
10:03A massacre commemorated today in Senegal.
10:06This anniversary symbolizes not only a duty of memory
10:09but also a quest for justice and historical truth
10:12for the Senegalese.
10:14Report by Regis Moukila and Cheikh Hindaou.
10:17To restore the honor of the African gunmen
10:20unjustly massacred on December 1, 1944
10:23by France,
10:25this is the symbolic scope of this commemoration,
10:28an event marked by the presence of several African heads of state.
10:3780 years later, the pain remains.
10:40The Senegalese president underlined the emotional burden
10:43of this event which continues to haunt the families of the victims.
10:46He saluted the official recognition by France
10:49of the massacre of Tiaroy
10:51and exhorted his French counterpart
10:53to go further in the search for truth.
10:56By duty of memory, truth and justice,
11:00we cannot forget the horror of the executions
11:05here in the camp of Tiaroy.
11:08It is imperative to recall history,
11:11all history, without too much memory.
11:14This is what founds the universal essence of the values of peace,
11:18freedom and equal dignity
11:21attached to nature itself.
11:24Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
11:26all these reasons have strengthened our conviction
11:29to commemorate the anniversary of the massacre of Tiaroy.
11:32The French Minister of Foreign Affairs
11:34has reaffirmed France's commitment
11:37to establish historical facts.
11:39He has also promised increased support
11:41to preserve the heritage of the snipers.
11:44The President of the Republic wrote to you, Mr. President,
11:47to tell you that France must recognize
11:50that on that day a chain of facts
11:54led to a massacre took place.
11:58And if France recognizes this massacre,
12:01it also does it for itself,
12:03because it does not accept that such an injustice
12:06can stain its history.
12:08The President, in the exercise of the African Union,
12:11for his part, insisted on the importance
12:13of solidarity between African nations,
12:16having shared this colonial past.
12:19The continued efforts of the African Union
12:22and its Member States to achieve this objective
12:26are a daily hymn to the snipers of Tiaroy.
12:31And there is no more magnificent celebration
12:34of the spirit of Tiaroy
12:36than to tighten our ranks and strengthen our efforts
12:39to achieve the objectives of our Agenda 2063,
12:43which translates the aspirations of the African peoples.
12:47By this commemoration,
12:49Senegal turns a painful page of its history,
12:52while highlighting it.
12:54December 1 is now instituted
12:56as the National Day of the Snipers.
13:01In terms of economy,
13:03in Nigeria, the federal government
13:05had decided to implement
13:07the new raw oil sales mechanism
13:09based on Naira.
13:11It was last October,
13:13but the ambition of the government
13:15to reduce pressure on Naira
13:17and the price of fuel at the pump
13:19faces major difficulties,
13:21while Nigerians continue to buy
13:23at high prices, exceeding
13:251,000 Naira per litre.
13:27This is a report by Gilbert Tamba in Abuja.
13:31When President Boulatinebou
13:33ordered the sale of oil to Naira,
13:35the objective was to reduce
13:37the price of fuel at the pump,
13:39but also to support the local economy
13:42and reduce pressure on foreign currency reserves.
13:46Barely two months after the launch,
13:48the hope of seeing this goal come true
13:51is fading away.
13:53First and foremost,
13:55we have the refinery in Nigeria.
13:57The measure does not work.
13:59We have refineries in Nigeria,
14:01in Porarkur and Kaduna.
14:03How much does it cost to repair them?
14:05Now, Don Goté, with his personal money,
14:07wants to build a private refinery
14:09in Nigeria.
14:11We must rejoice in this achievement
14:13because it will lower the price of fuel.
14:15It is not a crime to buy fuel
14:17at 200 Naira.
14:20The decision of the federal government
14:22to implement the new mechanism
14:24of selling oil to Naira
14:26faces some difficulties.
14:28Not only that,
14:30the exchange rate between Naira and the dollar
14:32is more than 1,700 Naira per dollar
14:34and the price of fuel at the pump
14:36is more than 1,000 Naira per litre.
14:39A situation that forces this lawyer
14:41to dominate his movements.
14:43It has limited my activities
14:45in such a way that
14:47I only go out to do basic activities.
15:01So that is it.
15:14I will be frank with you
15:16when I tell you that
15:18the sale of raw oil in Naira
15:20has collapsed.
15:22In October,
15:24the NNPC provided
15:26only four loads,
15:28one of which was oil.
15:30The NNPC said that
15:32the oil supply
15:34to Naira
15:36was not enough
15:38and that the oil
15:40supply to Naira
15:42was only four loads.
15:44And since then,
15:46it has not provided any.
15:48And in fact,
15:50these four loads
15:52were not paid at 100% in Naira.
15:54It was 60% in Naira
15:56and 40% in dollars.
15:58So only four loads
16:00and then the program collapsed.
16:02The oil sector plays
16:04a considerable role
16:06in the Nigerian economy.
16:08The most populous country
16:10has chronic shortages
16:12of foreign currency.
16:14A crisis that has led
16:16the federal authorities
16:18to devalue Naira,
16:20its local currency,
16:22twice in 2023.
16:24Direction Tunisia,
16:26where in the face of the blockade
16:28of social dialogue with the authorities
16:30for more than two years,
16:32the 5th National Congress of Social Movements
16:34was launched this week.
16:36Participants are looking for solutions
16:38to stabilize themselves
16:40in the face of Tunisia's hostile
16:42political climate for trade unions.
16:44Najwa Bechat tells us more.
16:46A new meeting
16:48of the annual conference
16:50of protest movements
16:52was held this year
16:54at the headquarters of the National Union of Labour
16:56at a time when the political power
16:58was closing all the doors of dialogue
17:00to social organizations.
17:02There is a suffocating
17:04economic crisis
17:06that has directly affected
17:08the social situation in terms of
17:10a decrease in purchasing power,
17:12an increase in the number of unemployed
17:14and an increase in the rate of poverty
17:16with the return
17:18of the iron arm
17:20in state relations
17:22with organizations.
17:24At the meeting,
17:26the Tunisian League for Human Rights
17:28and the Association of Democratic Women
17:30once again mentioned
17:32the decline of rights and freedoms,
17:34stressing that the government
17:36has become an obstacle
17:38for many organizations,
17:40making them unable
17:42to mobilize and claim
17:44social and economic rights.
17:48By criminalizing
17:50the work of associations,
17:52the political power is now
17:54trying to limit the work
17:56of its activists.
17:58For its part,
18:00the Tunisian League for Human Rights
18:02will stand with the demonstrators
18:04and those who claim
18:06their legitimate rights
18:08while demanding
18:10that these rights stipulated
18:12in international agreements
18:14and even in the Tunisian constitution
18:16be guaranteed.
18:22Today's meeting
18:24is an opportunity for organizations,
18:26associations and even
18:28political parties
18:30to fight new forms of struggle
18:32so that the voices of the oppressed
18:34and the poor are heard.
18:38Despite the restrictions,
18:40the Tunisian Social Observatory
18:42revealed an increase
18:44in protest actions
18:46marked by growing social
18:48and economic demands.
18:50In October 2024,
18:52social movements in Tunisia
18:54intensified with a total
18:56of 300 protest actions,
18:58an increase of 9%
19:00compared to the previous month.
19:02The protests are largely
19:04dominated by economic
19:06and social demands,
19:08with a strong involvement
19:10of workers, teachers
19:12and people affected
19:14by the current economic and social crisis.
19:16The demands
19:18also include
19:20unfulfilled electoral promises.
19:24In Georgia,
19:26thousands of demonstrators
19:28gathered in several cities
19:30for the fourth night in a row.
19:32They protest against the government
19:34which has excluded the organization
19:36of new legislatives.
19:38A new scrutiny,
19:40demanded by the opposition parties
19:42as well as by President Salome Zorabishvili,
19:44in rupture with the government
19:46and which announced
19:48that it would refuse to return
19:50its mandate at the end of the year
19:52as long as new legislatives
19:54remain in power.
19:56The head of European Diplomacy,
19:58Kaja Kayas,
20:00criticizes the police's disproportionate
20:02use of force.
20:06This December 1st
20:08marks the 37th world
20:10day of the fight against AIDS.
20:12HIV, discovered in the United States
20:14more than 40 years ago,
20:16continues to cause victims.
20:18With more than 40 million deaths worldwide,
20:20Africa is the most affected region.
20:22But with effective prevention
20:24and treatment,
20:26the fight against AIDS is progressing.
20:28We are witnessing more and more
20:30a worldwide decrease in infections
20:32and deaths.
20:34This day offers the opportunity
20:36to reflect on these achievements
20:38while tackling stigmatization
20:40and obstacles that still prevent
20:42many people from accessing
20:44proper screening and treatment.
20:46In Niger,
20:48where some of the capital's
20:50walls have been covered
20:52with artistic graffiti,
20:54a relooking
20:56that is part of the
20:58Jam Graffiti and Dance program,
21:00an initiative that aims
21:02to promote urban arts,
21:04in particular graffiti,
21:06as a means of expression
21:08and sharing.
21:10This is a report by our correspondent
21:12Jean Djibril-Williams.
21:14In this street in Niamé,
21:16it was difficult to pass without stopping
21:18in front of this wall, where various
21:20well-known faces were represented this afternoon.
21:22Thomas Sankara,
21:24Ibrahim Traoré or even
21:26General Abdourahman Tchani.
21:28What aroused curiosity
21:30and often the emotion of passers-by.
21:32In general, when I look at it,
21:34it's really moving.
21:36It's moving and it gives me joy.
21:38I can already recognize our president,
21:40that of Mali and Burkina Faso as well.
21:42It's a real pride for me
21:44to see that.
21:46And on top of that, it's very pretty on this wall.
21:48And it is precisely the effect
21:50sought by the initiators of the Jam
21:52Graffiti and Dance that started
21:54this Friday in Niamé.
21:56The concept is simple,
21:58to make a space of expression
22:00with brushstrokes and aerosol bombs.
22:02A three-day festival,
22:04all in sound and color.
22:06The Jam is an eruption
22:08in a public space
22:10where artists
22:12will improvise, will perform.
22:14For the moment,
22:16we are at this stage
22:18of really, really, really, little by little,
22:20making the populations of graffiti
22:22known in particular.
22:24Vulgarize graffiti,
22:26but also encourage its practice.
22:28Here, handling the aerosol bomb
22:30is a first for most artists,
22:32graffiti artists
22:34who, nevertheless, benefit
22:36from a preliminary training.
22:38I am already an artist,
22:40painter, plastician and sculptor,
22:42and I wanted to train myself in graffiti
22:44to discover another aspect of art.
22:46Painting on a wall
22:48is quite different from the paintings I usually do,
22:50but it's really very interesting.
22:52I had a love
22:54for colors,
22:56painting, you see,
22:58but I never started
23:00and I never had the opportunity.
23:02So I still continue.
23:04Every day, we discover
23:06new things, new things.
23:08In addition to graffiti,
23:10several other types of urban art
23:12have been highlighted by this first edition
23:14of the Graffiti and Dance Jam.
23:16From urban dance
23:18to a parade of giant puppets
23:20to popularize street art.
23:24Just before we finish,
23:26we talk golf
23:28with the historic sacre
23:30of the Moroccan women's national team
23:32during the 16th edition
23:34of the All-Africa Challenge Trophy
23:36which ended yesterday
23:38on the Gulf of Tasgzout in Agadir.
23:40Morocco won
23:42with a total score
23:44of minus 7,
23:46ahead of South Africa
23:48thanks to an excellent collective performance.
23:50The national team composed of
23:52Sofia Sherefskhelli,
23:54Reem Imneen, Diasin Zouazani
23:56and their captain Raja Hasnaoui.
23:58Sofia Sherefskhelli, barely 15 years old,
24:00was the spearhead of the Moroccan team
24:02throughout this tournament
24:04with an individual score of minus 12.
24:06She dominated the competition
24:08from end to end,
24:10winning the individual title
24:12and offering Morocco the second individual title
24:14in the history of this competition.
24:20And on this victory,
24:22we come to the end of this newscast.
24:24Thank you for following the news.
24:26We continue on Média TV.
