00:00Welcome everyone, it's time for the big media morning news, here are the headlines.
00:24The second round of the national regionalization session is scheduled for December 20 and 21 in Tangier,
00:31an important moment in the consolidation of the territorial development process.
00:40In the United States, the House of Representatives has largely rejected Thursday a new budgetary text
00:46of the Republicans aiming to avoid a paralysis of the federal state, a bloody failure
00:51and uncertainty before the fateful hour of this Friday evening.
00:59And then the Shido cyclone caused the death of at least 73 people in Mozambique,
01:05according to a recent report published by the National Institute for Risk Management and Disaster Management
01:10of this country in Africa, Australia.
01:13The second round of the national regionalization session is scheduled for December 20 and 21 in Tangier,
01:25an important moment in the implementation, in accordance with the high orientation of His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
01:32of this institutional and structural reform aimed at the consolidation of the territorial development process,
01:40organized under the high patronage of His Majesty the King.
01:45This edition, based on the theme of advanced regionalization between today's and tomorrow's challenges,
01:52is indeed an opportunity to explore development paths to enhance the correlation
01:59between the needs of development, the effectiveness of territorial planning
02:04and the performance in the exercise of regional skills.
02:09It is also an opportunity to carry out a collective and participatory assessment
02:15of the state of progress of the implementation of the multiple components of this project,
02:20in particular in terms of the execution of the recommendations issued in the first edition held in 2019.
02:29We are still in Morocco, where the government continues its consultations
02:36in the framework of the implementation of a new roadmap for employment.
02:41This file was at the heart of the meeting yesterday between the head of government
02:46and the representatives of the General Confederation of Companies.
02:52Employment is one of the main priorities of the Arnouche government.
02:57The 2025 financial law has allocated to this site an estimated budget of 14 billion dirhams.
03:03Governmental consultations continue with the actors of the employment sector
03:08and this Thursday it was the turn of the representatives of the CGEM to present their vision.
03:15The government continues its consultations with the private sector.
03:20As you know, we have prepared a strategy for employment with specific programs
03:25that concern all Moroccans in all regions of Morocco,
03:29in various sectors, whether for small and medium enterprises.
03:33Programs that also concern all those who are unemployed and do not have a diploma
03:38and also concern the rural world.
03:41And so today we are listening to the proposals of the CGEM, which are interesting and very precise.
03:50The meeting also looked at the sector of services.
03:54The latter will also know a resumption and the launch of a multitude of projects
03:59that will be ready for the World Cup 2030.
04:03As representatives of the private sector,
04:07we have made a diagnosis of the situation of employment in Morocco
04:12and we have listed the different proposals and we presented them at this meeting.
04:18And the government was listening and promised us to put everything in place
04:22in order to work together and create as many job opportunities as possible.
04:28The new roadmap for employment also pays special attention to the rural world
04:34and the initiatives to develop it.
04:37Finally, the creation of SMEs will benefit from support measures
04:41and specific training will be offered to job seekers.
04:48The United Nations General Assembly has just adopted by consensus
04:52the annual resolution presented by Morocco on the promotion of sustainable tourism,
04:58including eco-tourism for the eradication of poverty and environmental protection.
05:03Celebrating 14 years of its presentation, thanks to the strategic action of the Kingdom
05:09in the tourist sector and the dynamic campaign led by Morocco within the United Nations,
05:14this resolution has been co-sponsored by 109 Member States
05:18belonging to different regional groups in an UN context marked by several divergences.
05:24This resolution, carried out by the Moroccan delegation to the United Nations,
05:28has been able to cultivate a strong consensus on the key role of sustainable tourism
05:34in the implementation of the objectives of sustainable development,
05:38as well as the importance of investing in the strengthening of the resilience of the tourist sector
05:44in the face of natural crisis and natural disasters.
05:52In the United States, the House of Representatives has largely rejected, I say,
05:57a new budgetary text of the Republicans aimed at avoiding a paralysis of the federal state,
06:03a bloody failure that increases uncertainty.
06:07Before the fateful hour of this Friday evening,
06:10the Republican Senate, however, a majority in the House,
06:14had submitted to vote this new proposal the day after the paralysis of Donald Trump and Elon Musk
06:20of a previous negotiated agreement with the Democrats
06:24that would have avoided a shutdown in the United States just before Christmas.
06:28The future American president, however, had brought his blessing to the new text of the Republicans,
06:34which had a very good agreement for the American people.
06:37While two-thirds of the votes were necessary for an adoption,
06:41the text did not even reach the simple majority,
06:44with 38 Republicans joining in the name of the Democrats.
06:55In the news also, the Shido cyclone caused the death of at least 73 people in Mozambique.
07:02According to an updated report broadcast on Thursday by the National Institute for Risk Management
07:07and Disaster Management of this country in Australia,
07:10the outcome in Mozambique of the victims of the cyclone, which hit the African continent on Sunday,
07:15after devastating the French archipelago of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean,
07:20climbed to thirty deaths in one day.
07:23And in the face of the extent of the disaster,
07:25the Mozambican government decreed two days of national mourning on Friday and Saturday.
07:31In addition to causing nearly 550 injured,
07:35the depression has completely destroyed almost 40,000 homes.
07:41According to the new report,
07:43nearly 330,000 people are affected by this natural disaster in the state of Lusophone,
07:49mainly in the province of Cabo Delgado,
07:53in the north, where 66 people were killed.
08:01In Nigeria, at least 35 children died
08:04and six others were seriously injured in a crowd movement
08:08during a foreign party organized within the premises of a high school
08:12in the city of Ibatan, the third largest city in the country.
08:16This is what the police said yesterday.
08:19This is what happened on Wednesday at the Islamic high school in Bassoran
08:24during this festive event, where small and large people were invited.
08:28So far, 35 minors have been declared dead,
08:32while six others are seriously injured
08:35and benefit from various medical interventions,
08:39as stated in a statement by the police of the state of Oyo.
08:43The Nigerian president, Bola Tinobu,
08:47presented this Thursday his sincere condolences to the government
08:50and the population of the state of Oyo.
08:52He also urged the government of the state of Oyo
08:56to take all necessary measures to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
09:02An investigation has been opened.
09:14The investigation is ongoing.
09:17The investigation is ongoing.
09:20The investigation is ongoing.
09:23The investigation is ongoing.
09:26I would like to introduce you to the guest of the major media, Morning.
09:32Recent negotiations in Doha revive the hope of an agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas
09:40on a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza,
09:44while progress seems to be drawn in, again to speak of a ceasefire,
09:50several Israeli NGOs of genocide.
09:54To talk about it, we are live with Mrs. Zeyna Tibi,
09:58journalist and founder of the Association of Arab Women of the Press in Paris.
10:04Hello, Mrs. Zeyna Tibi, thank you for accepting our invitation.
10:10Hello, thank you.
10:16Hamas officials have mentioned an agreement that would take place in three stages,
10:24as it has already been discussed, what this agreement could look like.
10:34Listen, in fact, the negotiations are underway.
10:39After, as you know, the Kassab is a voluntary intervention,
10:45as colleagues have said,
10:47seeing that the two parties are in bad terms.
10:52And then, there is France.
10:56I think it is a result of the President of France,
11:03who asked them to resume their negotiations and to conclude before his arrival at the White House.
11:15And, in fact, today, you have two factors at play.
11:20First, the pressure of President Trump, but at the same time the weakening of Hamas.
11:27Hamas today is forced to negotiate,
11:31given the fact that it is weakened by the fact that it has lost its support,
11:37notably the Hezbollah in Lebanon,
11:40which is completely weakened with the assassination of Hezbollah leaders.
11:46With the fact of cutting the arrival or the passage of weapons that can come from Iran in Syria,
11:55from Syria.
11:57So, today, Hamas is forced to find a solution.
12:04And, there, they have come to, more or less, during these last negotiations,
12:11to say that the withdrawal of the Israeli troops from the Philadelphia Band,
12:19what is called the Philadelphia Corridor,
12:22which is located on the border with Egypt,
12:26and also the withdrawal of the Israeli troops,
12:30which is located in a corridor that divides Gaza between East and West.
12:37So, we hope that this will end with the presence of the army,
12:44but this is not clear,
12:47because Israel is putting a stop to this
12:51and is asking to be able to intervene in case it feels threatened.
12:59This is on the side of the army.
13:02On the other side, there are the prisoners,
13:10the Israeli hostages in the hands of Hamas,
13:13and the Palestinian prisoners.
13:16Israel's demand is to free the hostages unconditionally,
13:23while Hamas is asking that the Palestinian prisoners be freed.
13:30And, there, too, Israel is putting conditions.
13:34If we free the prisoners,
13:37some that Israel considers threatening should be exiled,
13:43go to Qatar, or elsewhere, or Egypt,
13:47but they don't want them to stay in Gaza or in West Jordan.
13:52So, if you will, this is moving forward,
13:55but we are not sure how far Israel will accept certain demands.
14:05Madame Tibich, the return of the Palestinians
14:09displaced by the war between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip
14:14is one of the main obstacles to the conclusion of an agreement on a ceasefire.
14:21Will this return remain a point of blockade?
14:26Is the return of the Palestinian displaced impossible?
14:31Well, listen, it all depends on the good faith of the Israeli government.
14:38In any case, the Palestinians only ask to go home,
14:43and, logically, this should be done,
14:46because where are they going to go?
14:49Even today, Israelis are attacking West Jordan,
14:54where Hamas does not exist.
14:57It is true that there are resistance movements,
15:00but these are Palestinians who feel in solidarity with their brother in Gaza.
15:08So, if they don't go home, where will they go?
15:14This will create the same problem as in 1948,
15:18that is, you are dispersed all over the world,
15:21we don't want you, it doesn't hold you up.
15:25But the problem today, frankly,
15:28the problem is that Hamas is not in a strong position.
15:32And so, today, it is international interventions and diplomatic calls
15:41that must support the Palestinian population.
15:46Moreover, there have been several statements,
15:49whether from the British or German governments,
15:54or even the Norwegians,
15:57especially in relation to the genocide that is taking place in Gaza,
16:03the reaction of Norway.
16:05But otherwise, today, we have the impression that there is a diplomatic ballet
16:09that is being played to reach a resolution,
16:14so that these negotiations come to fruition.
16:19On the ground, on the front line,
16:23the civil defense of the Gaza Strip celebrated on Wednesday
16:26at least 12 Palestinians killed by Israeli strikes.
16:30How do you explain the pursuit of Israeli strikes,
16:36as seen in these selfies?
16:38Has the Israeli army not yet succeeded in reaching all its objectives in Gaza?
16:47We have the impression that the Israeli government
16:52has a scabooty policy.
16:55As long as, that's what they say,
16:59they feel threatened.
17:02So, they absolutely want to eradicate everything that is a threat to the security of Israel.
17:12But the problem is that, at the same time,
17:15you have a population that is bombed.
17:17Yesterday, they bombed two schools in Gaza,
17:20where several children were killed.
17:23So, we don't understand exactly,
17:26in any case, personally, I don't understand
17:29where this policy wants to go,
17:32where it wants to end up.
17:35They are destroying Gaza, we know that.
17:38They are killing the children in Gaza.
17:42Everyone sees it.
17:44To what end? We don't know.
17:48The Human Rights Watch organization estimated,
17:52in a report published yesterday,
17:55that Israel commits acts of genocide
17:58by restricting access to water
18:01for Palestinians in Gaza.
18:03An ethnic cleansing campaign,
18:06according to Doctors Without Borders.
18:09Moreover, several NGOs accuse Israel
18:12of decimating the Palestinian population in Gaza.
18:15What do you think?
18:17But what is absolutely true,
18:19for several months now,
18:21it's not recent, it's not new,
18:23they are killing, little by little,
18:27the Palestinian population.
18:29Every day, there are bombings.
18:32They are killing hospitals and schools.
18:38We have the impression
18:41that there is a policy of total destruction
18:45of Gaza's infrastructure
18:49and especially of the population.
18:52Today, we are in the middle of winter,
18:55the population has no water,
18:57it is cold, it has no access to food.
19:00Contrary to what Mr. Netanyahu says,
19:03he says that he does not prevent the arrival of food.
19:08This is not true.
19:10They only receive a few drops,
19:12if we can say that.
19:14You have children who die of hunger,
19:18you have skeletal disorders today,
19:21who do not have access to care.
19:26When you get to such a stage,
19:30inevitably, it is a genocide.
19:32The number of child deaths
19:34does not count anymore today.
19:37And if there are no Palestinians
19:40who send videos or calls for help
19:44through social networks,
19:46no one talks about it.
19:48What is the value of the reports
19:51of these non-governmental organizations
19:55in the case of judicial proceedings
19:58of the International Criminal Court?
20:01Are they decisive?
20:05It can be, it can be,
20:07but Israel must let them pass.
20:11Israel must give access to these organizations
20:16to be able to help the population.
20:19I am sorry.
20:21Even the UN asked the UNHCR
20:27to come to Gaza
20:31to be able to help the population in Gaza.
20:35So we can see that this population
20:38is dying.
20:40Is the International Criminal Court
20:43going to issue an arrest warrant?
20:45One last question
20:47concerning the International Criminal Court.
20:51On November 21, 2024,
20:54the CPI issued an arrest warrant
20:58against the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
21:06for crimes against humanity
21:09and war crimes
21:11in the context of the war
21:13between Israel and Hamas.
21:16What do you make of this decision?
21:20The decision has been made.
21:23It is very serious.
21:25It is based on facts.
21:28But Mr. Netanyahu does not care.
21:32We have the impression that
21:34he does not care.
21:36It is not his problem.
21:38His problem is to bombard
21:40right and left.
21:42I don't know.
21:44Listen to yourself.
21:46Excuse me.
21:48In fact,
21:50today Netanyahu has a goal.
21:53That is to say,
21:55to bomb at all costs.
21:58He is bombing Syria,
22:00he is bombing Gaza,
22:02he is bombing Lebanon
22:04and no one is holding him back.
22:06He does not care
22:08whether he is treated
22:10as a genocide or not.
22:12He has a goal to pursue.
22:15It's that simple.
22:18Mrs. Zeyna Tibi,
22:20thank you for this clarification.
22:22Thank you for answering our questions.
22:24I remind you that you are a journalist
22:26and founder of the Association of Arab Women
22:29of La Presse in Paris.
22:39This is how this newsreel ends.
22:42Thank you for following it.
22:44Enjoy the rest of the program on Mediantv.
