00:00Welcome to the big news of the afternoon on Mediain TV, right away a new news, we start with the headlines.
00:22In Lebanon, Joséphere Aoun starts parliamentary consultations in order to appoint a Prime Minister to form a government.
00:29Among the names mentioned for the post of Prime Minister is Najib Mikati and the judge-president of the International Court of Justice, Nawaf Salem.
00:44The government is committed to strengthening the implementation of the official character of the Amazigh language, declaration of the head of the government, Agadir.
00:52He also expressed his deep gratitude to His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, who decided to establish January 14, the first day of the Amazigh year, as the official holiday of Morocco, as part of the constitutional consecration of the Amazigh language.
01:09Finally, in the United States, Los Angeles is preparing for the worst, for the return of violent threats, nicknamed the fires, which have now caused 24 deaths. A provisional assessment, we talk about it in this newspaper.
01:25In Lebanon, Joséphere Aoun starts parliamentary consultations in order to appoint a Prime Minister to form a government.
01:40These consultations are a constitutional obligation for the new president, as part of the confessional system of sharing power in the country of the cedar.
01:51They take place a few days after his election. Among the names mentioned for the post of Prime Minister, which is reserved in this country for a Sunni Muslim, is Najib Mikati himself, but also the judge-president of the International Court of Justice, Nawaf Salem.
02:13Where are the negotiations in order to reach an agreement on the release of hostages in the Gaza Strip? Benjamin Netanyahu and Joe Biden mention progress.
02:25In any case, this is what a statement from the office of the Israeli Prime Minister relayed. This exchange takes place the day after the announcement by the office of Benjamin Netanyahu of the sending of a delegation of senior officials to participate in the talks, which are held in Doha.
02:43On his side, Donald Trump has recently promised hell, I quote, if the hostages were not released before his return to power. As a reminder, 251 people were removed. Among them, 94 remain hostages in Gaza, 34 of whom were declared dead by the army.
03:02On the Palestinian side, there are more than 46,000 people, mainly civilians, who were killed in this war led by Israel.
03:14And right now, our special page dedicated to the new Ramazan.

05:36AMAZIR
05:39with, as you can see, the traditional Amazigh dress.
05:42I take this opportunity to wish a happy new year to all the Amazigh people of the world.
05:48The 1975 Eid-e-Neir event is essentially aimed at valuing the Amazigh culture
05:54as a fundamental element of the Moroccan identity
05:57and consolidating the values of coexistence and cultural openness.
06:01This demonstration also aspires to position the city of Agadir
06:05as a tourist and cultural destination of excellence
06:08on a national and international scale.
06:17I wish a happy new year to all the Amazigh people.
06:19It is an exceptional event.
06:21I take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude
06:24to His Majesty the King Mohamed VI,
06:26who established on January 14,
06:28which corresponds to the first day of the year in Amazigh,
06:30as an official holiday in Morocco.
06:32I also thank the King for integrating the Amazigh language,
06:36especially in public administration and education.
06:40We are honoured to be here in Agadir to participate in this ceremony.
06:50The program of the festivities will cover 12 locations in the city,
06:53including the public squares and gardens of Agadir.
06:56This program offers the inhabitants of the capital of Sousse
06:59and its visitors an opportunity to attend large artistic events
07:03in a festive atmosphere.
07:07And in this context, the integration of the Amazigh language
07:10into the educational system is a path that Morocco has progressively followed
07:13since 2003 at the primary level.
07:15The Ministry of National Education
07:17aims to reach 50% of the coverage rate in 2026
07:21and to achieve a generalized integration by 2030.
07:26Mahajamel Youssef Ouhamou Al Abnadi.
07:30Since 2003, Morocco has worked to integrate Amazigh
07:33into national education
07:35with the creation of IRCAM to promote the Amazigh language and culture.
07:39In 2011, the Moroccan constitution gave Amazigh an official status,
07:44placing it on an equal footing with the Arab.
07:47This recognition has led to initiatives to train teachers
07:51and develop suitable pedagogical resources.
07:58The integration project of the Amazigh language
08:01into national education dates back to 2003.
08:03Except that there are huge obstacles,
08:05such as the lack of human resources
08:07to generalize the teaching of the Amazigh language in Morocco.
08:10But this does not prevent us from recalling the continuous efforts
08:14provided by the Provincial and Regional Direction of National Education
08:18to recruit teachers and offer them continuous training
08:22and intensive internships
08:24in order to strengthen their professional skills.
08:30Here, in this primary school in the capital Rabat,
08:32the Amazigh language is taught in its original letter, Tifinar,
08:36while using modern technologies to improve the pedagogical quality.
08:41However, the allocated time and human resources remain limited.
08:51Over the years, the teaching of the Amazigh language has been expanded
08:55despite some obstacles in terms of human resources.
08:58In our school, out of 462 students,
09:01nearly 62% were able to take courses in the Amazigh language.
09:05That is to say that 208 students have reached the 4th level of the Amazigh language
09:10and they will soon be able to master the 5th and 6th levels.
09:19Faced with the explanations of their teachers,
09:21the students react with perspicacity, concentration and fervor
09:25with this new language, which they seem to assimilate quickly.
09:35Most of the students who do not speak the Amazigh language
09:38are very curious to discover this language
09:40and express their desire to learn it.
09:42They are ready to make an effort to be able to read, write and speak in Amazigh.
09:47Of course, there are obstacles in terms of resources,
09:50but I think that the concerned ministry is actively looking into it.
09:55It also contributes to this interaction.
10:01To integrate the Amazigh language into the Moroccan educational curriculum,
10:05the Amazigh associative actors recommend the increase of the number of courses available,
10:10the formation of a larger number of teachers per year
10:13and the integration of the Amazigh manual on the list of school manuals.
10:17By 2030, and according to the Ministry of National Education,
10:21the teaching of the Amazigh language will benefit a few 4 million students
10:25within 12,000 primary education institutions.
10:42We continue this news with Morocco and Spain,
10:44who set a new record in their trade
10:48for the fourth consecutive year,
10:50thus consolidating a more and more solid economic relationship.
10:54Between Rabat and Madrid, we have seen a growth since 2021,
10:59reaching unprecedented figures.
11:01According to the data of the Spanish Secretary of State for Trade,
11:05between January and October 2024,
11:07Spanish exports to Morocco have risen to more than 10 billion euros,
11:12an increase of 68%
11:14and imports from Morocco have been of the order of more than 8 billion euros,
11:22an increase of 9.1%.
11:31In the United States, Los Angeles is preparing for a violent wind return,
11:35threatening to stir up the fires
11:37which leave scenes of desolation in its agglomeration,
11:41engulfed by flames.
11:43Since last Tuesday, the second most populated city in the United States
11:48continues to count its deaths.
11:50The figure then rose yesterday evening to 24 deaths.
11:53The American weather evokes an extreme behavior of fires
11:57and conditions putting life at risk,
12:00which will culminate with winds at 110 km per hour
12:03in a particularly dangerous situation from tomorrow morning.
12:07Firefighters have in this context warned
12:09that these winds would prevent any return of evacuees before Thursday,
12:13thus calling on residents to be patient.
12:24New weather alerts in Morocco with cold weather
12:27and temperatures varying between minus 8 degrees and 9 degrees,
12:31which is expected from Tuesday to Friday in several provinces of the Kingdom.
12:36This drop in temperatures will be observed first in Ifran,
12:39Boulaymane, Sefrou, Azilel, Bini Menlel, Khnifra,
12:42Alhaus, Tenghir, Warzazat, Midert and Taroudant.
12:45It will also be the case in Gerada, Tawrirt, Gersif, Tazar,
12:49Houssema, Chefchaouen, Zagora, El Rashidia, Tiznit and Tata.
13:01And now it's time for the guest of the big news today
13:05on the relations between France and Algeria.
13:08Already tumultuous, the ties between Paris and Algiers
13:12have weakened in recent days following the arrest
13:15of a 59-year-old Algerian influencer,
13:19Doualemle, after a litigious video on TikTok social networks.
13:25Put on the plane for Algeria,
13:27he was sent back to the Hexagone
13:29on the same evening.
13:31His detention was therefore extended
13:33to 26 days on Sunday by a French judge.
13:36To talk about this relationship and this situation
13:39between Paris and Rabat,
13:41we are live from Paris,
13:43with Moustapha Tossa,
13:45political analyst and editorialist.
13:47Hello to you and welcome.
13:50Hello Nadia.
13:53So in the context of aggravations,
13:56tensions between Paris and Algiers,
13:58the head of French diplomacy
14:01has decided to declare
14:04that President Emmanuel Macron
14:06could potentially take unprecedented measures.
14:10What could these measures be according to you?
14:14Yes, it's true Nadia that the crisis
14:16between France and Algeria
14:18is so deep, so serious,
14:22that we are in Paris examining
14:25the measures of response and sanctions
14:27against the Algerian regime.
14:29So obviously there are several measures
14:31that have been cited by specialists on these issues.
14:34One of the first and most symbolic measures
14:36is the abolition of the 1968 agreement
14:40which gives Algerian immigration
14:43privileges over other nationalities
14:46and which participates from the point of view of the French
14:49to aggravate the migratory phenomenon in France.
14:52So the abolition or cancellation of this agreement
14:56could be seen as a measure of sanctions
14:59against the Algerian regime.
15:01But France will not be able to stop there
15:03because there is the history of the visas.
15:05And the visas are not only
15:07the visas of Mr Tout-le-Monde.
15:09This is what the new Minister of Justice,
15:13Gérald Darmanin, proposed yesterday,
15:15namely to review the 1913 agreement
15:19which grants the possibility for diplomatic passports
15:23to enter France without having to apply for a visa.
15:27This means that if France takes this measure,
15:31it could attack the political-military elite
15:35that circulates a lot between Algeria and Paris.
15:39And it could be a major measure of sanctions
15:42against the Algerian regime.
15:44There is also our measure of economic order.
15:47Mustapha Tosa, if you allow me,
15:49because these are two important agreements
15:53between Paris and Algeria
15:55which are on the verge of being, perhaps,
15:59suppressed given the context of tensions.
16:02First, you said the 1968 agreement
16:05which actually grants a special status to Algerians
16:08in terms of circulation, stay and employment.
16:11And the one from 2013, indeed.
16:14Do you think these two agreements,
16:16which are structuring and historical agreements
16:20between Paris and Algeria,
16:22could really be suppressed today in this context?
16:28As for the 1968 agreement,
16:30it is true that it is a heavy agreement,
16:32a historical agreement,
16:33which may require the decision of the President of the Republic,
16:37which may require a meeting of the Parliament,
16:39which may require a whole legal arsenal of French people.
16:43But the decision to suppress it, if it is taken,
16:47will be effective after a certain time.
16:49On the other hand, the 2013 agreement,
16:51and this is the former French ambassador to Algeria,
16:54Xavier Driancourt,
16:56it is not a heavy agreement,
16:58it is only a letter exchange
17:00between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the time,
17:03Bernard Kouchner,
17:04with his Algerian counterpart,
17:06giving the status of diplomatic passport
17:09the ability and the possibility
17:11to enter France without a visa.
17:14And so the 2013 agreement
17:16could, from a simple letter
17:18sent from the Orsay
17:20to the Algerian authorities,
17:22cancel them.
17:23But here, if we take this decision,
17:25the one of 2013,
17:26it means that France has decided
17:29to sanction the symbols
17:31and the leaders of the Algerian regime.
17:33And that could bring the relationship
17:35between France and Algeria
17:37into another dimension.
17:38And apparently, this is what
17:40Gérald Darmanin and Bruno Retailleau
17:42have decided to achieve
17:44in the next few days,
17:45not to say the next few weeks.
17:47Yes, absolutely.
17:48You just mentioned it, Bruno Retailleau,
17:50Minister of the Interior,
17:52French Minister of the Interior,
17:54estimated on his part
17:56that Algeria was seeking
17:58to humiliate France.
18:00It was the day after
18:02the Algerian influencer
18:04who had been expelled
18:06to Algeria,
18:08after a video calling for violence.
18:10What do you read
18:12from this statement
18:14of the French Minister of the Interior?
18:16Yes, it's true Nadia,
18:18I followed a little bit
18:20the coverage of the Algerian media
18:22of this crisis,
18:24and especially of the position
18:26of Bruno Retailleau.
18:28And the Algerian regime
18:30does not seem to understand
18:32why the French minister
18:34of the Interior
18:36has this very heavy
18:38semantics of humiliation.
18:40In fact, between Algeria
18:42and France,
18:44there is a passive
18:46of what we call
18:48the obligations
18:50to leave the territory.
18:52To realize them,
18:54you have to have passives.
18:56And the Algerian regime
18:58distributes these passives
19:00to the counter.
19:02If someone is persecuted
19:04for inciting hatred,
19:06for inciting violence
19:08and terrorism,
19:10and who has a valid
19:12biometric passport,
19:14the decision has been taken
19:16to expel him by respecting
19:18all international conventions.
19:20At that moment, the Algerian regime
19:22decides to close its doors
19:24to this Algerian citizen
19:26and decides to send him back to France.
19:28It is a humiliation for the French regalian
19:30who has not understood at all
19:32why Algeria refuses to accept
19:34its nationals with passives.
19:36The OQTFs are for people without passives.
19:38The simple expulsion,
19:40as it was done
19:42in the case of Oualen,
19:44concerns an Algerian citizen
19:46with a valid passport.
19:48Bruno Rottayou did not understand that
19:50and so he used
19:52this expression of humiliation
19:54which will have a huge impact
19:56on the French vision
19:58of relations between France
20:00and Algeria.
20:02But concretely,
20:04what fate will be reserved
20:06for the influencer
20:08Oualen
20:10after his return
20:12to France?
20:14At the moment,
20:16this Algerian
20:18is detained
20:20in an administrative detention center
20:22awaiting his trial
20:24which should take place in February.
20:26The question is
20:28whether
20:30this Algerian citizen
20:32will purge
20:34his sentence in French prisons
20:36or will he again
20:38be expelled
20:40and at that time
20:42what will be the attitude of the Algerian government?
20:44Will it accept him or will it close
20:46the doors of Algeria?
20:48Nadia, in this case,
20:50there is not only Oualen
20:52who has been arrested,
20:54there are also Algerian influencers
20:56who will appear in court
20:58and the question is
21:00whether they will purge their sentence
21:02in prison or
21:04the sentence will be pronounced
21:06with an immediate execution measure.
21:08I ask the question for the holders
21:10of the French nationality.
21:12This is another question that will be
21:14brought up as needed.
21:16In the midst of the Franco-Algerian diplomatic crisis,
21:18Emmanuel Bohn,
21:20who is a diplomatic advisor
21:22has just resigned following
21:24disagreements. What do you think
21:26this resignation means
21:28in this context of tensions between Paris and Algeria?
21:30So what
21:32must be said about the profile
21:34and pedigree of Emmanuel Bohn
21:36based on what was published in the press
21:38is that
21:40Emmanuel Bohn was the former
21:42cabinet director of Jean-Yves Le Drian
21:44and the duo
21:46Emmanuel Bohn-Jean-Yves Le Drian embodied
21:48according to several sources
21:50French media
21:52what can be called
21:54the Algerian tropism of President Emmanuel Macron
21:56during the first term.
21:58If Emmanuel Macron had
22:00a tropism towards Algeria,
22:02it is under the influence of Emmanuel Bohn
22:04and Jean-Yves Le Drian.
22:06Today, his resignation means
22:08one thing, it is that there are disagreements
22:10at the top of the state. Maybe he
22:12does not quite agree with
22:14the sanctions measures that
22:16the French government is about to take
22:18towards the Algerian regime
22:20and as he does not agree, he decided
22:22to resign and leave the Elysée.
22:24There is only this explanation
22:26to have an idea
22:28about the real reason that pushes
22:30such an important man
22:32in Emmanuel Macron's diplomatic system
22:34to leave the Elysée
22:36in this period
22:38extremely sensitive
22:40and important
22:42for France and for Emmanuel Macron.
22:44An extremely sensitive
22:46point indeed.
22:48There is another point of discord
22:50and not the least among the
22:52recent ones between France
22:54and Algeria. It is the arrest
22:56of the French-Algerian writer
22:58Boualem Sentsal, 75 years old
23:00and sick
23:02and still in Algerian jails.
23:04What will be the outcome
23:06according to you of this affair
23:08between Paris and Algeria?
23:10In fact, the Boualem Sentsal affair
23:12is the one that
23:14caused this crisis
23:16that was already brewing.
23:18The crisis between France and Algeria
23:20does not date from Boualem Sentsal,
23:22does not even date from the French recognition
23:24of the Moroccanity of the Sahara.
23:26There is a crisis and it needed a spark.
23:28It was the Boualem Sentsal affair.
23:30What must be said is that
23:32Boualem Sentsal
23:34has become
23:36a fragmentation bomb
23:38in the hands of the Algerian regime.
23:40If he is now released
23:42under the French pressure,
23:44he will lose all influence,
23:46all credibility in his opinion.
23:48If he is kept in prison,
23:50he will have to endure
23:52the international,
23:54French, European
23:56and, why not,
23:58American and Tunisian pressure.
24:00This Boualem Sentsal affair
24:02is a very sensitive affair
24:04for the Algerian regime.
24:06We are waiting to see
24:08how he will have to deal with it.
24:10Especially for a 75-year-old man
24:12who is sick
24:14and who is at any moment
24:16at risk of dying in Algerian prisons.
24:18Indeed,
24:20Emmanuel Macron
24:22had very harsh words
24:24when he spoke of this affair
24:26when he spoke of the Algerian regime,
24:28of Algeria which dishonours you
24:30for keeping an intellectual,
24:32a writer, under the pretext
24:34that he expressed some convictions
24:36in his prisons.
24:38The Algerian regime could
24:40get out of this impasse,
24:42free Tebboune
24:44without losing face,
24:46and give the impression
24:48that he did not
24:50arrest him for nothing.
24:52The Sentsal affair
24:54is a big affair
24:56that imposes
24:58a lot of behaviour
25:00on the Algerian regime,
25:02especially on the president Abdelmajid Tebboune.
