00:00Good evening and welcome to Median TV, thank you for joining us for a new newscast, here are the headlines.
00:22The new Lebanese president will hold consultations this Monday with the deputies to reach the choice of a prime minister.
00:29Joseph Aoun was elected to the head of the country this Thursday by the parliament.
00:35An investigator from the United Nations expressed the hope of a good cooperation with the new Syrian authorities. We will talk about it in a moment.
00:42The flames continue to ravage the outskirts of Los Angeles. The city now feels at least 10 dead and military reinforcements will be deployed on site to come to the rescue teams.
00:56On the occasion of the commemoration of the presentation of the Manifesto of Independence, His Majesty the King Mohammed VI,
01:06God willing, granted his grace to 1,304 people convicted by different courts of the kingdom.
01:12An announcement made by the Ministry of Justice in a statement.
01:17His Majesty the King Mohammed VI addressed a message of congratulations to His Excellency General Joseph Aoun on the occasion of his election to the presidency of the Lebanese Republic.
01:28In this message, the sovereign shares his warm congratulations to General Aoun and his best wishes to the Lebanese people, brother, more progress and prosperity in a climate of security, unity and stability.
01:42The new Lebanese president, Joseph Aoun, will hold consultations with the deputies on Monday to reach the choice of a prime minister.
01:48The new strongman of Lebanon was elected yesterday by the parliament. An election puts an end to a vacation of more than two years.
01:55The President-elect was engaged after having sworn to quickly appoint a prime minister to get the country out of political paralysis.
02:0399 of the 128 deputies said yes to Commander Joseph Aoun. The 61-year-old general is now the new president of the Lebanese Republic.
02:19In his speech to parliament, General Joseph Aoun said that a new era would open after his election at the head of the country.
02:27He promised to respect the truce with Israel after the murderous war that opposed Hezbollah in Israel.
02:34He assured that the state will now be the only one to carry weapons in the country.
02:41My commitment is to exercise my role as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and President of the Supreme Council of Defense
02:51and to work through them to ensure that the right to carry weapons is exclusively attributed to the state.
02:59My commitment is to work through them to ensure that the right to carry weapons is exclusively attributed to the state.
03:07Joseph Aoun began his consultations to appoint a prime minister.
03:12This successful election for parliamentarians is the first step so long awaited to fill the political and institutional void in Lebanon.
03:21The country is experiencing one of the most dramatic crises in its history.
03:25In 2019, Lebanon experienced an economic crisis characterized by a fall in currency value,
03:31but also hyperinflation and a rise in the poverty rate.
03:35And in view of the regional geopolitical context,
03:38Joseph Aoun said he is ready to work with neighboring countries to maintain the sovereignty of the Lebanese Republic.
03:45My commitment is also to forge the best relations with the Arab countries,
03:55based on the fact that Lebanon is Arab by affiliation and identity.
04:00We will build strategic partnerships with the countries of the Levant, the Gulf of Arabia and North Africa,
04:08while preventing any conspiracy against our systems and our sovereignty.
04:13We will not interfere in the internal affairs of any of them.
04:16We will solve the problem of the displaced.
04:20Ambassadors from several countries, as well as French emissaries for Lebanon, attended the parliamentary session.
04:27Paris congratulated the new head of state and wished Lebanon to be endowed with a strong government,
04:33while the American embassy in Lebanon said it was committed to working in close collaboration with the new president.
04:40The Israeli foreign minister, Jideh Ansar,
04:44expressed hope that Joseph Aoun's election would contribute to good relations between neighbors.
04:49Tehran, on the other hand, saluted the election of the new president,
04:53hoping that the two countries would work together to serve their common interests.
05:00Lebanese Prime Minister will go to Syria tomorrow for his first official visit.
05:05His visit to the head of state is in response to the invitation given to him by the new Syrian leader.
05:11Najib Mikati was on the phone with Ahmad al-Shala on January 3,
05:16shortly after the new Syrian authorities imposed restrictions on Lebanese entry into the country.
05:21Syria imposed these restrictions on the border after the Lebanese army reported a frontal clash with Syrian militias.
05:29A UN investigator expressed hope for good cooperation with the new Syrian authorities.
05:36The UN investigation commission on Syria had never had access to the country under the power of Bashar al-Assad.
05:43We hope to be able to have a good relationship with the authorities in place to declare Hani Maghali a member of the commission,
05:49who revealed that the new power had immediately welcomed the mission he had led for five days in Syria.
05:58Indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas are still underway in order to put out the fire in Gaza.
06:03So what's going on and what's blocking these talks?
06:06Answer element with Raja Inko.
06:10Talks had already been held in December in Doha,
06:13but Hamas and Israel had mutually accused each other of blocking them.
06:18Since January, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
06:22has announced that he will authorize Israeli negotiators to continue discussions.
06:27The talks focus on the modalities of a ceasefire,
06:32during which there will be an exchange between people taken hostage during the attack on Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023,
06:40and Palestinian prisoners detained in Israel.
06:43On the other hand, Hamas is also asking for massive humanitarian aid,
06:48the possibility for the Gaza Strip, displaced by the war, to return home.
06:53The withdrawal of Israeli troops and the reopening of crossings between Gaza and the outside world.
06:59Benjamin Netanyahu has, on his part, excluded a complete withdrawal of Gaza troops.
07:04Israeli authorities remain firm.
07:07After the war, a governance of the Palestinian territory by Hamas is impossible.
07:12But what has changed since December?
07:15According to observers, if Benjamin Netanyahu seems to be more willing to conclude an agreement,
07:21it is because he has expanded the coalition of parties supporting his government.
07:25They are therefore less threatened when some of his far-right ministers promise to leave the government in the event of an agreement in Gaza.
07:33Another point that has changed since December is that for the first time,
07:37Hamas said it was ready to release 34 of the 95 hostages held captive in Gaza for 450 days
07:44during the first phase of an agreement with Israel.
07:47One of the main points of discord is whether or not the ceasefire is permanent in Gaza.
07:53Direction now Algeria, in the camps of Tindouf.
07:57A group of women from the Larouissien tribe have caused damage to the vehicles belonging to the so-called minister of the interior of the police station,
08:04Barahim Beyla, from the tribe of El-Gibet el-Bouihat.
08:08These women acted as a sign of protest against the refusal of this separatist leader to receive them.
08:14They intended to express their discontent following the dismantling of their tents during their absence
08:19by elements of the so-called gendarmerie of the Palisario.
08:22These gendarmes took advantage of the absence of these women to act as they observed a sit-in
08:27claiming the liberation of one of their loved ones.
08:33The return to Paris of an Algerian influencer expelled to Algeria has aroused the anger of the French interior minister.
08:39Three Algerians, a Franco-Algerian, have been recently interpellated for putting in line hateful content against France.
08:45We reached with Algeria an extremely worrying threshold, estimated Bruno Retailleau.
08:50The interior minister calls for evaluating all available means vis-à-vis Algeria to defend the interests of France.
09:00Donald Trump said on Thursday that he was preparing a meeting with Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
09:06He wants us to meet.
09:08And we are organizing this, said Donald Trump, before a meeting with governors in Palm Beach, Florida
09:15during his annual question-and-answer session, televised on December 19.
09:19Vladimir Putin had said he was ready to meet Donald Trump at any time.
09:23But Europeans and Ukrainians fear that the Republican forces Kiev to major concessions
09:29and grants a geopolitical victory to the Kremlin.
09:36Ukraine struck this Friday morning a munition depot and a drone storage facility in southern Russia.
09:42According to an announcement made by the Ukrainian security services,
09:46Russian authorities indicated that an industrial facility near the village of Chaltir had caught fire
09:53following a drone attack, without giving more details.
09:59Nicolas Maduro has sworn an oath this Friday for a third six-year mandate.
10:04The opposition continues to accuse the president of electoral fraud.
10:09The government closed Friday the border with Colombia,
10:13invoking an international plot to disturb the peace of the Venezuelans.
10:17This announcement comes on the eve of protests by the opposition
10:20that contest the victory of the head of state in the last election on July 28.
10:28Flames continue to ravage the outskirts of Los Angeles.
10:31Authorities say there are 10 dead and the city is ravaged by five different fires.
10:35Explanations with Dina Mriné.
10:39Houses reduced to ashes,
10:41burnt cars and residents in tears in the face of the magnitude of the disaster.
10:46The fires that ravage Los Angeles since Tuesday
10:49are among the most destructive in the history of the Californian megalopolis.
10:54Driven by violent winds, the fire continues to sow chaos.
10:59Shattered or damaged buildings are counted by thousands
11:02and the balance is aggravated to at least 10 dead.
11:05Los Angeles is threatened by five out-of-control fires.
11:09Authorities confirm that a sixth fire named Kenneth
11:13was declared not far from the West Hill area.
11:20We are currently actively engaged in a new forest fire.
11:24This is the Kenneth fire in the West Hill region of Los Angeles
11:28on the border with the county of Vandora.
11:31This fire covered more than 20 hectares when it arrived
11:34with a potential for rapid growth.
11:40According to local authorities,
11:42the two largest fires in the neighborhoods of Pacific Balisad and Eaton
11:46destroyed more than 10,000 structures
11:49and burned nearly 13,000 hectares since their outbreak.
11:53More than 130,000 residents had to evacuate their homes urgently.
11:57U.S. President Joe Biden has deplored very extensive and devastating fires.
12:02He even described this disaster as the worst fire the city has ever known.
12:07Smoke clouds cover certain neighborhoods.
12:11The health of the city's residents is deteriorating.
12:14I woke up with burning eyes and an unbearable sore throat.
12:18Friends told me they were bleeding from the nose.
12:21It's really horrible. I sleep with a mask on.
12:25No improvement in air quality is expected.
12:28Some residents of these ruined neighborhoods are suffocating.
12:33The amount of smoke and toxins in the air is enormous.
12:36Even if our house is spared,
12:38we will probably not be able to return to it for months.
12:44The damage caused by these terrible fires
12:47is estimated to be between $135 and $150 billion,
12:50according to local authorities.
12:52The U.S. government has not yet made an estimated estimate.
12:57These spectacular fires are a reminder of the climate emergency,
13:01while scientists warn of the multiplication of extreme weather events
13:06linked to global warming.
13:11Following the attack on his palace in Jamena,
13:14President Chadian spoke out last night to pay tribute to his soldiers.
13:1818 assailants were neutralized among the 20 reported dead.
13:22According to a recent report,
13:24two soldiers guarding the palace were killed,
13:26while six other assailants were injured.
13:29The reason for this assault remains unknown.
13:34The reconstruction efforts after the Dalhousie earthquake
13:37allowed hundreds of houses to be re-located in Tseroudent.
13:40The percentage of completed buildings has seen remarkable progress,
13:44and more than 300 houses have been reconstructed.
13:49Dina Marini explains.
13:52Fifteen months after the earthquake that shook the Dalhousie region,
13:56the rate of reconstruction of houses has reached 80%.
13:59Families who have lost their homes have been accompanied
14:03throughout the rehabilitation period.
14:06The construction and environmental management
14:09organize regular meetings
14:11in order to follow the reconstruction of the former Medina of Tseroudent.
14:15Mobilization, commitment and seriousness are the key words of this dynamic,
14:20whose priority is to re-locate families
14:23and provide them with decent living conditions.
14:28The study on the rehabilitation of houses was carried out by a commission
14:32that includes representatives of the regional authority,
14:35representatives of the research offices and laboratories
14:38in order to define the extent of the damage
14:40in order to proceed with the reconstruction or repair.
14:45Haja Hafsa closely follows the progress of the reconstruction of her home,
14:50damaged by the earthquake,
14:52after the technical teams have repaired the damage.
14:55Today, the house has reached its final phase.
15:02My house has cracked in several different places.
15:05We repaired what we could with bricks,
15:08and thanks to God, this site is progressing well.
15:13The house of Haja Hafsa is one of the 300 damaged buildings,
15:17classified according to the degree of danger
15:20and the type of intervention and measures necessary to be taken.
15:25We have been able to assess nearly 310 damaged rooms,
15:28listed according to the extent of the damage.
15:31These rooms are classified according to two categories,
15:34those requiring repairs and those requiring demolition
15:37in order to be fully reconstructed.
15:42The urban leveling of the doors and historical walls
15:45surrounding the ancient city of Zeroudent
15:47is also the subject of the rehabilitation program
15:50of the historical buildings and archaeological sites
15:53affected by the earthquake.
15:56The Central Bank of Mauritania is taking a new step
15:59in the fight against the laundering of money
16:01and the financing of terrorism.
16:03The Central Bank of Mauritania has launched measures
16:06aimed at setting a ceiling for suspicious species transactions.
16:09The latest decision is taking place in a context
16:12where the government has not yet decided
16:15what to do with the money.
16:18The Central Bank of Mauritania is taking a new step
16:21in the fight against the laundering of money
16:24and the financing of terrorism.
16:26The Central Bank of Mauritania has launched measures
16:29aimed at setting a ceiling for suspicious species transactions.
16:33There is no specific ceiling for transfers,
16:36which means that it can be used as a refuge
16:39for the laundering of money.
16:42There is no specific ceiling for transfers,
16:45which means that it can be used as a refuge
16:48for the laundering of money.
16:51The decision concerns transactions worth more than
16:5410 million ancient Nouguia,
16:56whether they are withdrawals or deposits.
16:58These transactions will be subject to a close follow-up
17:01to provide the necessary documentation to justify them.
17:06By these recent decisions,
17:08the government is trying to dispel the suspicions
17:10raised by certain research centres,
17:12without which Mauritania would be among
17:15the main paradises of the laundering of money.
17:19This decision comes after consultations
17:21with the US Federal Reserve
17:23as part of the strengthening of cooperation
17:25between Mauritania and international institutions
17:28to fight financial crimes.
17:32The presidential election in Guinea
17:34could take place before the end of the year.
17:36According to the government spokesman,
17:38presidential or legislative elections
17:40could be held in October,
17:42after a referendum for the adoption of a new constitution.
17:44The President of the Transition, General Mamadou Doumbouya,
17:47had promised that 2025 would be a crucial year
17:50in the electoral process to complete the return
17:52to the constitutional order.
17:55In Côte d'Ivoire, the government is working
17:57to regulate mining operations more effectively
18:00and, among the priorities,
18:02to promote a sustainable and responsible
18:04operation of the country's natural resources.
18:06Details with Max Soubi and Ange-Wilfred.
18:10Water pollution, biodiversity loss,
18:12erosion, soil pollution and well formation
18:15are among the harmful effects
18:17of the mining industry on the environment.
18:20It is therefore a non-sustainable operation
18:22of the natural resources that degrade
18:24the living areas of the population
18:26and alter their health in Côte d'Ivoire.
18:28To come to an end to this scourge,
18:30the African Federation of Mining Artisans
18:32seems to have found an alternative,
18:34a rehabilitation of areas impacted
18:36by mining activity.
18:38The responsible for mining exploitation
18:40is responsible for rehabilitation.
18:42With the means of rehabilitation
18:44that it must do,
18:46we are working to leave
18:48a sustainable economic alternative
18:50to the population.
18:52Rehabilitation will be followed regularly.
18:54It gives the economic alternative
18:56that pushes people to cut down trees
18:58to make coal.
19:00The economic alternative
19:02and the durability over time
19:04is so important
19:06that it becomes a transmissible
19:08agricultural exploitation
19:10from generation to generation.
19:12The mining sector in Côte d'Ivoire
19:14is in full swing.
19:16According to the responsible
19:18for mining exploitation,
19:20a global text regulation
19:22will ensure the sector's competitiveness
19:24in the sub-region.
19:26If we manage to harmonize
19:28the law texts,
19:30the behavior will change.
19:32Because for me to take gold
19:34to go to Mali or Burkina Faso,
19:36which are our neighboring countries,
19:38there should be more advantages
19:40for me than in Côte d'Ivoire.
19:42For Burkina Faso or Mali
19:44to leave their country to come
19:46there should be more advantages
19:48to do this exploitation than in their country.
19:50For us, it is between operators
19:52that we can give the best practices
19:54and the best guidelines
19:56so that the regulation
19:58can be practically uniform.
20:00Between 2012 and 2023,
20:02the number of research permits
20:04in Côte d'Ivoire has seen a significant increase,
20:06going from 120 to 189,
20:08while the exploitation permits
20:10and projects in progress
20:12have gone from 9 to 28.
20:14This period has also seen
20:16a strong increase in annual gold,
20:18manganese and nickel production
20:20as well as an increase in mining,
20:22artisanal and small-scale exploitation.
20:24Senegal celebrated
20:26this Thursday the National
20:28Girls' Education Day,
20:30an event aimed at promoting gender equality
20:32and equitable access to quality education.
20:34This is a report from Fatou Sissé
20:36and Cheikh N'Dour.
20:38Placed under the theme
20:40of quality inclusive education,
20:42the National Girls' Education Day
20:44reaffirms the national commitment
20:46in favor of girls' education.
20:48It is an opportunity
20:50for the Ministry of Education
20:52to launch two major campaigns.
20:54Senegal educates its girls
20:56and the initiative
20:58Priorité à l'égalité.
21:00For quality inclusive education,
21:02girls engage
21:04and engage the community.
21:06It is a unique opportunity
21:08to pay tribute
21:10to all these young girls
21:12who, every day,
21:14are the actresses
21:16of their own future.
21:18Their commitment is essential
21:20to transform our society.
21:22It is also time
21:24to reaffirm
21:26our collective commitment
21:28to guarantee each girl,
21:30without exception,
21:32quality, inclusive and equitable education.
21:34By offering all girls
21:36the same opportunities,
21:38we not only promote
21:40their personal development,
21:42but also the development
21:44of our country.
21:46The First Lady of Senegal
21:48is also at the forefront
21:50of the event,
21:52highlighting the importance
21:54of equitable education,
21:56especially in the face
21:58of persistent challenges
22:00such as early marriage
22:02and poverty.
22:04Indeed, when a girl
22:06develops skills and knowledge,
22:08she also develops
22:10self-confidence.
22:12Educated girls
22:14play an essential role
22:16in the health
22:18and well-being of their families
22:20and contribute
22:22to the reduction of poverty
22:24and participate
22:26in the economic and social life
22:28of their communities.
22:30This day brought together
22:32political decision-makers,
22:34civil society actors
22:36and, above all,
22:38the education sector.
22:40It is about taking measures
22:42to ensure
22:44that girls are not
22:46considered
22:48as a separate link
22:50in society.
22:52In the same way that boys
22:54have their place
22:56in this society of information,
22:58in the same way
23:00girls have their place.
23:02The discussion was also
23:04led by students.
23:06The atmosphere and the animation
23:08were all there
23:10to join the useful
23:12with the pleasant.
23:18This historic meeting
23:20highlights the leadership
23:22and ambition of young girls,
23:24especially those
23:26in a disability situation.
23:28We remember from this event
23:30the power to a whole nation.
23:32This is the end of this news.
23:34Thank you for following it,
23:36but stay with us.
23:38The info continues on Mediantv.
