00:00Welcome everyone, I am delighted to see you for a new edition of the Grand Journal Mediamonde.
00:21Here are the headlines.
00:23The Israeli army claims to have intercepted a missile fired from Yemen on Friday,
00:29where the Houthi rebels recently launched several attacks on Israel.
00:32The Houthis, who are leading these attacks against Israel, claim to act in solidarity with the Palestinians.
00:40In South Korea, investigators announce that they are suspending their attempt to arrest President-elect Yun Su-Kyeol in his residence in Seoul,
00:52preventing him from reaching their end with his bodyguards.
00:57And in Accra, a huge fire ravages the main second-hand clothing market in Ghana.
01:06More details in this newspaper.
01:10The Israeli army claims to have intercepted a missile fired from Yemen on Friday,
01:18where the Houthi rebels recently launched several attacks on Israel.
01:22Details on the fall of debris, a missile that has crossed Israeli territory since, have been examined.
01:29The Yemeni has been detected, indicated initially by the army on its Telegram channel,
01:34indicating that interceptors have been launched at the target.
01:38The Houthis announced last week that they had launched two missiles,
01:43the first against the Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv,
01:46and the second towards an electric power plant in southern Jerusalem.
01:49Israel claims to have intercepted a missile.
01:53It then stated that it had responded to these repeated attacks by firing several shots at Yemen,
01:58especially at the international airport in Sanha.
02:01The Houthis have launched several missile and drone attacks against Israel
02:06since the beginning of the war against the Gaza Strip,
02:10claiming to act in solidarity with the Palestinians.
02:18A reconnaissance operation began on Thursday in Homs, a city in the center of Assyria.
02:25Syrian security forces are looking for pro-Assad militias
02:29who would not have given their weapons and ammunition to the new government.
02:33More details with Racha Engo.
02:37This large-scale reconnaissance operation in the neighborhoods of Homs
02:41aims to search for former members of the Shabiha, pro-Assad militias.
02:46These supporters of the former regime would have refused to return their weapons and ammunition
02:51to the new power's regularization center.
02:54These people are considered war criminals
02:57and are suspected of being involved in crimes.
03:03We have received information from the inhabitants
03:06according to which there were members of the militias of the former regime here
03:10who had refused to return their weapons and terrified the residents.
03:13We arrested them and transferred them to the concerned department.
03:18Since the establishment of the new transitional government,
03:21the Syrians have also been asked to return their weapons for registration.
03:25The soldiers are also concerned.
03:30I have two hunting rifles. It's been a long time since it was my hobby.
03:34Here are their ammunition.
03:36The security forces of the new government saw them.
03:39They saw their license.
03:41They gave it to me with all due respect.
03:43They are learning to know us.
03:45Everything is going well.
03:48The authorities have imposed a curfew in some neighborhoods.
03:52Infantry troops have been sent to search for those
03:55who refuse to regularize their situation and to return their weapons to Homs.
04:00The Ministry of the Interior has called on the inhabitants of the neighborhoods to stay at home
04:04and to cooperate fully with the police.
04:08In South Korea, investigators have announced today
04:12the suspension of their attempt to arrest President Dae-shu Yoon Suk-hyeol
04:17in his residence in Seoul,
04:19prevented from achieving their goal by his bodyguards.
04:23As for the execution of the curfew,
04:26it was determined that it was materially impossible due to the persistent impasse.
04:30Concerns for the safety of the staff on site
04:33have led to the decision to suspend the execution.
04:37This is what the Bureau of Investigation on the Corruption of High Personalities said in a statement.
04:48We continue this newscast with this huge fire
04:51that has reduced to ashes in the main market of second-hand clothes sales
04:55in Ghana in the capital Accra,
04:57affecting thousands of merchants
05:00and causing considerable losses to the local economy.
05:05According to local authorities,
05:08the fire started on Wednesday evening
05:11and later ravaged large parts of the gigantic market
05:17in the outskirts of this country, West Africa,
05:20displacing thousands of merchants.
05:22The National Fire Service had to deploy 13 anti-fire vehicles
05:28to fight against the disaster.
05:31The market in the outskirts of Contamonto,
05:33which houses more than 30,000 merchants,
05:36is located in the heart of the Accra business district,
05:39a source of crucial income for many.
05:42The disaster has aroused great emotion among merchants
05:46and the hundreds of vendors
05:49are now facing an uncertain future.
05:55Direction du Sénégal,
05:57where President Bassirou Dioumaïfa
06:00announced during his speech at the end of the year
06:02the main lines of his policy,
06:04the head of the Sénégalese state,
06:06thus giving an overview of the political, social and economic environment of the country
06:10for the months to come.
06:12More details in this report in Dakar,
06:14signed by Aïchata Diakite and Moussender.
06:19In response to the economic sovereignty of the country,
06:22Sénégalese President Bassirou Dioumaïfa
06:24reiterated his commitment
06:26during his speech at the Nation on Tuesday.
06:29Transparency and vigilance are key
06:31in the management of the state's goods.
06:33Public officials and elected officials
06:36will have to make a statement on their heritage.
06:39One of the fight of the regime
06:41was to denounce the malgovernance
06:43and the spoliation of public property.
06:46It is a very healthy measure
06:50and must be reflected by all Sénégalese officials
06:55in the issue of accounts.
06:58When we manage public property,
07:00it is the agent of the taxpayer.
07:02Dioumaï Bassirou Faï
07:04also announced the regulation of the Koranic schools
07:07as well as the restoration of the digital platform,
07:10which will allow the Sénégalese to submit projects
07:13and seize investment opportunities.
07:16For me, this is a very good thing.
07:19This initiative came at the right time.
07:22It has been a long time since the Daraa
07:25were excluded from the educational system.
07:29This is normal.
07:31It is an injustice that has been repaired by His Excellency
07:34the President of the Republic.
07:36This is a very good thing.
07:38This is a good initiative
07:40as it offers everyone the same opportunities,
07:45that is to say, to run for office
07:47according to their academic skills.
07:49The departure of foreign forces on the Senegalese soil
07:52as early as 2025 leaves no indifference
07:54to certain Senegalese citizens.
07:56I can't appreciate this step
07:59because I think that Senegal is not yet enough equipped
08:03to chase foreign forces.
08:05But in the future, it can be done.
08:07For the unity of the Senegalese people,
08:09Bassirou Dioumaï Faï also insisted
08:11on the need to preserve peace
08:13and cohesion between the populations in Senegal,
08:15especially in the southern part of the country.
08:18In the speech of the President of the Republic,
08:21he has indeed announced
08:24that the Dioumaï Plan for Calamans
08:29will help the return of the population.
08:32But more generally,
08:34it is an initiative that will certainly allow
08:39to bring more peace to Senegal.
08:43The speech of the President was saluted
08:45by the majority of Senegalese.
08:47Faced with major economic and socio-political issues,
08:50they are waiting for the realization
08:52of the announced promotional projects.
08:56The port of Tangemede continues to sit
08:59its dominance in Africa, but also in the Mediterranean.
09:02The port complex of the city of Detroit
09:04gains two seats to occupy.
09:06The third position in the last ranking
09:08of the world performance index
09:10of container ports developed
09:12by the World Bank and Global Market Intelligence.
09:15Here is Nelly for more explanation.
09:22A new record for the port of Tangemede.
09:24The main port of the kingdom
09:26has recently been ranked
09:28among the three best container ports in the world,
09:30according to the world performance index
09:32of container ports published by CNUSAID.
09:35This port has made an impressive leap,
09:38reaching the third rank with a score of 159.6 points.
09:42It far surpasses its African and Mediterranean competitors,
09:46such as the port of Algeciras in Spain,
09:48which is 12th with 142.3 points,
09:51and Port Said in Egypt,
09:53ranked 16th with 131.17 points.
09:56The ranking is dominated by the port of Yangshan in China
10:00and that of Salalah Oman.
10:02Other notable ports include
10:04Tanjung Pelab in Malaysia and Xi'an,
10:06respectively 4th and 5th.
10:09The world performance index of container ports
10:12evaluates the port's efficiency
10:14based on criteria such as
10:16the duration of the ship's stay.
10:18This ranking is essential for global economic actors,
10:21including governments and companies in the maritime sector,
10:24because it highlights opportunities for improvement
10:27to optimize international trade
10:29and supply chains.
10:31In short, the recognition of Tanjung Pelab
10:34in this prestigious ranking
10:36highlights its strategic role in maritime transport
10:39and its growing importance on the international scene.
10:44And we stay in Morocco,
10:46where the Casablanca-Desmars 2025 stock market
10:49is on a roll,
10:51with a margin that has progressed by 2.13%,
10:54figures that only confirm
10:56the beautiful performances of the year 2024,
10:59which will certainly remain engraved
11:01in the history of Casablanca.
11:05The Casablanca Stock Exchange
11:07ended the year 2024
11:09with a remarkable performance,
11:11the MAZI showing an annual increase

11:27of 765.1 billion dirhams,
11:30with a volume of exchanges

11:35in more than 60.76 billion dirhams

11:47with its spectacular performance
11:49of 222.35%
11:51or health
11:53with 112.1%.
11:55This growth was supported
11:57by several key elements,
11:59including the monetary softening policy
12:01implemented by Bancal Mareb,
12:03inflation control
12:05at 0.8% in November 2024,
12:07as well as the rise
12:09in real interest rates
12:11in positive territory

12:27the Casablanca Stock Exchange
12:29launched a new mobile application
12:31and unveiled new features
12:33of the private space on its portal.
12:35It has also created

12:45the Casablanca Stock Exchange
12:47launched in partnership with TradingView,
12:49the e-stock platform

12:53and learning by doing.
13:21We are live with Mr. Mahmoud Hassan,
13:23political analyst.
13:25Hello, Mr. Mahmoud Hassan.
13:27Thank you for accepting
13:29your invitation.
13:31Hello, Madam.
13:33Thank you for your kind invitation.
13:35So, the First Council
13:37of Ministers
13:39of the European Union
13:41announced
13:43the opening
13:45of the Casablanca Stock Exchange
13:47in December 2021.
13:49The Council of Ministers
13:51of the new government
13:53must take place this morning.
13:55How is this new
13:57governmental entry
13:59announced in France
14:01and what is the margin
14:03of maneuver of Prime Minister
14:05François Bayrou?
14:07Generally,
14:09the First Council of Ministers
14:11is dedicated to
14:13discussions
14:15on the main issues
14:17that the new government
14:19is called to manage.
14:21Here,
14:23we can think
14:25essentially about the reconstruction
14:27of Mayotte,
14:29ravaged by the last cyclone
14:31and especially that
14:33Mr. François Bayrou
14:35made promises and
14:37took commitments during his visit
14:39to Mayotte on this subject.
14:41Another thing,
14:43there is also a question of budget order
14:45since the new government
14:47is also called to present
14:49a financial law
14:51since the reconstruction
14:53of the financial law of 2024
14:55is only a temporary solution.
14:57So,
14:59the debate will be about
15:01the main approaches
15:03of this financial law.
15:05There will certainly be
15:07a divergence
15:09between those who demand
15:11budgetary extensions,
15:13such as justice,
15:15education,
15:17immigration,
15:19and others
15:21that are for a reduction
15:23of public expenses
15:25to fight against the overload
15:27of the state.
15:29There will certainly also be
15:31the issue that concerns everyone
15:33and that everyone is waiting for,
15:35immigration,
15:37since already
15:39Mr. Michel Barnier
15:41envisaged
15:43a new law on immigration.
15:45This new law is also
15:47wanted by different political actors.
15:49We do not yet know
15:51the new guidelines,
15:53but everything suggests
15:55that it will be
15:59more rigid
16:01in terms of immigration
16:03due to the conjuncture.
16:05These are the main issues
16:07and certainly many others
16:09have begun to put
16:11in their agenda
16:13during this first Council of Ministers.
16:15The new French government
16:17of Beirut
16:19includes four ministers of State.
16:21The presence of heavyweights
16:23in this
16:25governmental team,
16:27we are talking about Gérald Darmanin,
16:29Elisabeth Borne,
16:31Manuel Valls.
16:33Can this change the situation?
16:39Absolutely.
16:41It is a first that characterizes
16:43the new government.
16:45There are four ministers of State,
16:47two of whom
16:49are former prime ministers.
16:51One of them
16:53is a Macronist
16:55and the other
16:57is a former socialist.
16:59Normally,
17:03could this composition
17:05change
17:09the situation of the government?
17:11It all depends on how
17:15the presence of these experts
17:17and the weight of
17:19two former prime ministers
17:21and four ministers of State
17:23will be envisaged and exploited.
17:25Here,
17:27François Bayrou
17:29has chosen
17:31a strong enough government
17:33that can also
17:35be representative
17:37of the right
17:39and the center.
17:43He has not managed
17:45to convince
17:47other big names
17:49of the right
17:51to join the government
17:53who have apologized.
17:55He has not managed
17:57to bring together the left,
17:59even the moderate left.
18:01No.
18:03It can be
18:05a double-edged sword.
18:11Mr. Mahmoud Hassan,
18:13after 10 days of consultation,
18:15Matignon's lawyer has named
18:17his government.
18:19The executive's composition
18:21has caused a stir in the opposition,
18:23including La France Insoumise,
18:25which has already
18:27announced
18:29a motion
18:31to resign.
18:33Is there still
18:35uncertainty
18:37about the duration
18:39of this new government?
18:43Everyone believes
18:45that this government
18:47will face difficulties.
18:49Mr. François Bayrou
18:51alluded to this
18:53in his first statements.
18:55La France Insoumise
18:57has quickly
18:59declared her choice
19:01to file a censorship motion.
19:03She has her reasons.
19:05She considers
19:07that
19:09her candidate
19:11for Prime Minister
19:13has not been accepted
19:15by President
19:17Emmanuel Macron.
19:19She relies on her choices
19:21and rejects her
19:23political motives.
19:25What has changed
19:27and caused
19:29Mr. Béchel-Barnier's government
19:31to fall
19:33is the alignment
19:35of the far-right
19:37with the far-left.
19:39Normally,
19:41this condition
19:43would be avoided
19:45by a triple agreement
19:47that preceded
19:49the formation of this government
19:51and constitutes a first
19:53in the history
19:55of the Fifth Republic.
19:57Mr. François Bayrou
19:59has committed
20:01not to implement
20:03Article 49.3 of the Constitution.
20:05This is the point
20:07that has caused
20:09Mr. Béchel-Barnier's government
20:11to fall. On the other hand,
20:13President Emmanuel Macron
20:15has committed
20:17not to resort to the dissolution
20:19of the government.
20:21The far-right parties
20:23have committed
20:25not to impose
20:27any kind of censorship.
20:29This is what could save this government
20:31and enable it to
20:33exercise its function.
20:35But how far will these commitments
20:37be respected
20:39and to what extent?
20:41This is what we will see in the next few days.
20:43François Bayrou will have to
20:45tackle an even more
20:47complex task,
20:49which has caused the fall
20:51of his predecessor.
20:53He will have to vote
20:55on a budget for
20:572025.
20:59According to you,
21:01will François Bayrou
21:03restart from scratch
21:05to establish the expenses
21:07and revenues of the state
21:09or will he rely on the version
21:11initially presented
21:13by his predecessor
21:15Michel Barnier?
21:17The obligation
21:19to present a financial law
21:21is imposed on the new government.
21:23The government
21:25has a deadline for this.
21:27It will be later, in March.
21:29The question is
21:31what are the guidelines
21:33and what are the approaches
21:35that will be addressed
21:37in this new
21:39project of the financial law?
21:41First, to avoid the mistakes
21:43committed by Mr. Michel Barnier
21:45who contributed
21:49to the fall
21:51of the government.
21:55Certainly,
21:57Mr. François Bayrou
21:59will not have an easy task.
22:01In fact,
22:03he is at the head
22:05of a new government
22:07which is
22:09formed by a coalition
22:11of parties
22:13that have
22:15divergent approaches
22:17on a budgetary level.
22:19Moreover,
22:21he does not have
22:23a parliamentary majority.
22:25These are the two
22:27difficulties
22:31that could not make
22:33the task easier,
22:35especially since the financial law
22:37will focus on
22:39rather sensitive issues.
22:43In particular,
22:45the long-awaited reforms.
22:47How to fight
22:49the government's over-indebtedness?
22:51How to reduce expenses?
22:53Will these public expenses affect
22:55the areas
22:57that will be
22:59impacted
23:01by this reform?
23:03Moreover,
23:05there are socio-economic sectors
23:07that are waiting for
23:09rather urgent reforms,
23:11notably the retirement reform,
23:13the agriculture reform,
23:15the support, of course,
23:17of the state
23:19for the agricultural sector,
23:21as well as
23:23the fiscal reform
23:25that everyone is waiting for.
23:31How will
23:33it be perceived
23:35by the various
23:37political actors?
23:39The public sector,
23:41education,
23:43in fact,
23:45this government
23:47has only
23:49rather sensitive issues
23:51and reforms
23:53that are both urgent
23:55but that could not
23:57gather
23:59an easy consensus.
24:01So, here,
24:03it is called
24:05to gather
24:07a balance
24:09between the two.
24:11It is also called
24:13to avoid
24:17an approach
24:19adopted by
24:21Michel Barnier
24:23that, due to a lack of majority,
24:25has not been accepted
24:27by
24:29the parliamentary majority
24:31despite
24:33the divergences of ideological order.
24:39Mr. Mahmoud Hassan,
24:41thank you for answering
24:43our questions. Thank you for
24:45all these details. I remind you that
24:47you are a political analyst.
24:51Thank you, Madam.
24:55This is how
24:57this edition ends. Thank you for following it.
24:59Stay with us. The information continues
