00:00Hello everyone, welcome to Mediain TV for your daily newscast.
00:14Forbidden since 2017 in Morocco, cryptocurrencies could now attract the attention of legislators
00:20since a law governing the sector would be under adoption.
00:25Would the Central Bank have changed its mind after the explosion of the Bitcoin exchange
00:29following the election of Donald Trump?
00:31This is the question raised by the Pan-African magazine in 2017,
00:34the year in which cryptocurrencies were banned.
00:37Authorities called these currencies occultism,
00:40warned users against the important risks they represented.
00:44An interdiction that never dissuaded Moroccans from acquiring them.
00:48In 2022, the countries had about 1.15 million virtual asset holders,
00:53according to the Young Africa report.
00:54In 2024, Morocco ranked 27th in the world's top 30 cryptocurrencies adoption index
01:00established by the specialized website Chain Analysis.
01:03Although Morocco is 6 places behind in this ranking in 2023,
01:07it is nevertheless in third place in the Middle East-North Africa region,
01:11behind Turkey.
01:13Between June 2023 and June 2024,
01:16the volume of cryptocurrency transactions in Morocco reached 12.7 billion dollars,
01:21a amount that places Morocco behind Ethiopia and Nigeria.

01:27In France, the National Assembly voted for the motion to censor
01:30proposed by the new Popular Front.
01:32All except a surprise for the European press,
01:34taken up by the International Courier.
01:36331 votes approved the motion to censor presented by the Left Party,
01:40provoking the fall of the government led by Michel Barnier.
01:43A first since 1962.
01:45A result that aggravates the political crisis in France,
01:48says De Guardia on his news portal.
01:50A historical moment under the Fifth Republic,
01:53adds the Geneva Tribune,
01:54while El País estimates that France witnessed the end of an opera
01:58that everyone knew the outcome of,
02:00the same day it even began.
02:02Since Barcelona, the Catalan daily La Buena Guardia
02:05qualifies this vote as a dangerous leap into the void,
02:08allowed by the opportunistic alliance between the left and the far right.
02:11Except that the vote to censor against Prime Minister Michel Barnier
02:14risks plunging France into the unknown,
02:16as predicted by the Financial Times.
02:18The international press also points to Emmanuel Macron's responsibility
02:21in this new episode of institutional instability.
02:24A consequence of the presidential poker game
02:26that was the dissolution of the National Assembly,
02:29decided by the owner of the Elysee in June,
02:32deplores the German weekly Stern.
02:36In June 2025, France and Saudi Arabia will co-chair
02:39a conference on the creation of a Palestinian state,
02:41according to The New Arab.
02:43On the second day of his visit to Saudi Arabia,
02:45French President Emmanuel Macron
02:47announced to French journalists
02:49that he would lead the project with the Saudi heir,
02:52Mohammed bin Salman.
02:53The idea is that in the coming months,
02:55together we will multiply and federate
02:57our diplomatic initiatives
02:59to bring everyone on this path,
03:01he said.
03:02This announcement was made just before
03:04the United Nations General Assembly
03:07adopted a resolution project
03:09organized in June.
03:10Such an international conference,
03:12according to The New Arab,
03:13the United States and Israel voted against,
03:15the information site specifies.
03:17The calls for a solution to two states,
03:19based on a Palestinian state next to Israel,
03:21have intensified since the start of the war in Gaza.
03:24In May, Ireland, Norway and Spain
03:26announced they recognized the state of Palestine,
03:29followed by Slovenia a month later.
03:33Georgia, now the Commissioner for Human Rights,
03:36accuses the police of torture against demonstrators,
03:38according to The Guardian.
03:39Levan Yosseliani has stated
03:41he has visited about 200 people
03:43placed in detention and injured.
03:45The nature and gravity of the wounds
03:47suggest that the police use violence
03:49against citizens as a punitive measure,
03:51said the public defender of the demonstrations.
03:54Since last week,
03:55the capital Tbilisi, after the announcement
03:57by the power of the report in 2028
03:59of the negotiations of adhesion to the European Union.
04:02Tuesday evening, the police once again
04:04used a water cannon and tear gas
04:06to try to disperse the thousands of demonstrators
04:09in favor of the EU
04:11and who protested for the sixth consecutive night.
04:14Georgia now finds itself at a dangerous crossroads,
04:17estimates the English newspaper in its editorial.
04:19By treating with such contempt
04:21the pro-European aspirations of a majority of the population,
04:24the Georgian government has triggered a crisis
04:26that echoes that of Ukraine
04:28during the protests in Maidan in 2014.
04:31Analyze Le Quotidien,
04:32if the violence perpetrated in the streets of the capital
04:34and elsewhere continues,
04:36Europe must make it clear to Tbilisi
04:38that it will have significant consequences.
04:41End of quote.
04:44In Angola, to conclude this press release,
04:46Joe Biden has announced since the capital Luanda
04:48more than a billion humanitarian aid to Africa,
04:50informs us the Washington Post.
04:52The American president declared during a speech
04:54at the National Museum of Slavery in Luanda
04:56that this sum was intended for Africans
04:58displaced by historical droughts
05:00in 31 countries on the continent.
05:02His trip to Africa is the first of its kind
05:04of an American head of state on the continent since 2015
05:07and the first visit to Angola.
05:09With his Angolan counterpart, João Lourenço,
05:11Biden has long mentioned the corridor of Lobito,
05:15a gigantic railway project
05:17and a massive and very ambitious American investment
05:19at a time when China is investing very heavily on this continent.
05:23But the American president will soon have to give way to Donald Trump
05:26who has questioned alliances and old trade agreements
05:29between the United States and other countries,
05:31causing some to fear that American support
05:33in the Lobito corridor and other projects
05:35will weaken when they take up these functions,
05:38says the American newspaper in its columns.
05:42This is the end of this press release.
05:44Thank you all for following it.
05:45Enjoy the rest of the program.
