00:14Thank you for joining us for this round of News on Vasily Titra.
00:18In the Middle East, Benyamin Netanyahu's office has announced
00:21an agreement on the release of hostages held in Gaza.
00:26A meeting of the security cabinet is scheduled today.
00:29Details in a few moments.
00:34It's a Gaza strip, besieged and in ruins,
00:37awaiting the announcement of an agreement to cease fire between Israel and Hamas.
00:41More than 70% of this Palestinian territory is besieged and badly damaged.
00:50The United States has announced sanctions
00:53against General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's chief of the Sudanese army.
00:57These decisions are being made a few days after a similar measure
01:01against the paramilitary chief.
01:04We'll be right back with more.
01:10Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
01:12The news is first in the Middle East,
01:14where Benyamin Netanyahu's office announced today
01:18an agreement on the release of hostages held in the Gaza strip,
01:23adding that a meeting of the security cabinet was scheduled for the day.
01:29The Israeli Prime Minister's office, however,
01:33accused Hamas of returning to key points of the agreement
01:39to extort last-minute concessions,
01:42which Hamas categorically denied.
01:45If it is approved by the Israeli cabinet,
01:48the so-called agreement will begin on Sunday.
01:51The conditions for a permanent end to the fighting
01:55must also be finalized in the next step.
02:02Let's stay in Gaza, where the inhabitants can't wait to get back to their lives
02:07without the macabre everyday life of Israeli offensives.
02:12The agreement will begin on Sunday,
02:15but the agreement must first be approved by Benyamin Netanyahu's office.
02:22Live from Al-Khots, we're joined by our correspondent Valérie Ferron.
02:26Hello, Valérie.
02:30Hello, Babacar, and hello to all the viewers.
02:33So, what's the atmosphere like in Gaza today,
02:36in the face of this attack?
02:39Well, there's impatience, as we said,
02:42but I think there's also, as we see everywhere,
02:45especially on Palestinian TV and in the Arab world,
02:49a crowd in dismay, literally, and we can understand that,
02:53since for the first time since October 7, 2023,
02:56they have a real hope this time,
02:59well, to put an end to the nightmare they live.
03:02And on the spot, in fact, you also have, of course,
03:05a lot of sadness and pain,
03:08especially because the Israeli bombings are still going on.
03:11Since the announcement of the ceasefire on Wednesday night,
03:15you've had more than a hundred people killed,
03:18more than 250 injured, and you still have destruction.
03:22That means that the pain will be both finding houses
03:26for the displaced people, but houses that will be in ruins.
03:30It also means losing loved ones
03:33and having to do a long work of mourning,
03:35but also all the family faces that we are used to seeing
03:38and that we are normally used to seeing,
03:40the shopkeepers, all the neighbors, etc.
03:43All this has disappeared in the Gaza Strip,
03:45and I think that the inhabitants are really shared
03:48between these two feelings, between a strong joy,
03:51a strong sadness, and the pain of all those who are waiting for them,
03:56because the road is going to be too long.
03:58But they are already active on the ground.
04:00The inhabitants, wherever it is possible,
04:02we see them cleaning the streets, cleaning the houses,
04:05all the buildings that still have standing walls,
04:08to be able to come back,
04:11because we know that the vast majority of children and adults
04:15in this territory have been displaced by force several times
04:19by the Israeli army,
04:21and they all have only one desire,
04:23to come back to the place where their house was,
04:26to come back to their neighborhood, to come back to their land,
04:29even if they have to live in the trenches,
04:31even if they have to live in tents for several months.
04:34When we talk about preparations,
04:36there is also, of course, the priority issue of humanitarian aid,
04:39which will be supervised by the United Nations,
04:42and the United Nations has announced that there are already
04:4580,000 tons of food waiting to be able to enter the Gaza Strip.
04:51You also have on the side of the local Palestinian authorities
04:56the ministries of the National Authority of President Abbas,
04:59which is also preparing the evacuation, for example, of the wounded,
05:06which was also part of the agreement for them to be treated abroad.
05:09You also have the local authorities
05:12who are preparing the citizens for these large populations
05:16to which we may assist,
05:18since everyone will try to return to the northern areas,
05:22the southern areas and the central areas
05:24where they were expelled by the Israeli army throughout the year.
05:28A government plan will therefore be published on this subject
05:33by the local Palestinian authorities in Gaza.
05:36They have already asked citizens to cooperate fully
05:40with the emergency teams, with the civil defense,
05:45to ensure the safety, of course, of the people,
05:48but also of the goods, throughout the implementation
05:53of these returns home, we could say,
05:57for the vast majority of children and adults in the Gaza Strip.
06:01Let us also point out that there is a very important operation
06:04that is important to everyone in Gaza,
06:07which is to be able to finally go and get
06:11the tens, hundreds, thousands of bodies
06:15that are currently lying in the streets of the Gaza Strip,
06:18in the localities, in the refugee camps
06:20that have been heavily bombed,
06:22or under the rubble of houses
06:24that have never been rescued until now.
06:27And also in the context of this place of hope
06:31to cross this agreement between Israel and Hamas.
06:34Thank you again, Valérie Ferron.
06:39I therefore remind Valérie Ferron and the correspondent of Mediathé Vialchot
06:42what remains of Gaza.
06:44In anticipation of the announcement of a ceasefire,
06:47hospitals and schools are in ruins.
06:50More than 70% of this Palestinian territory is besieged
06:53and heavily damaged.
06:55The point of the situation with Raja Ingo.
07:00More than 170,000 buildings damaged or destroyed.
07:04Entire neighborhoods razed.
07:06This is the latest assessment of the damage
07:09of the UN Satellite Center on December 1st.
07:12About 70% of the buildings were damaged or destroyed
07:17in the Gaza Strip.
07:19In total, more than 170,000 buildings
07:22were partially or completely destroyed by the war.
07:26In Rafah, in the extreme south,
07:28almost half of the buildings were damaged.
07:31The facades of the buildings and houses of this city
07:34on the border with Egypt were razed.
07:37According to Amnesty International,
07:3990% of the buildings were seriously damaged
07:42on the border between the two countries
07:45between October 2023 and May 2024.
07:48The reconstruction of the territory would take up to 15 years
07:51and would cost more than 50 billion euros.
07:54This is the estimate of the United Nations.
07:56Hospitals were not spared
07:58by the Israeli destruction in Gaza.
08:01Hospital structures are often targeted
08:04by the Israeli army,
08:06which forces Hamas fighters to use them as a base.
08:09For example, the Kamal Adwan hospital
08:12has been empty and out of service
08:14since a major raid in late December.
08:16According to the World Health Organization,
08:19at least $10 billion is needed
08:21to rebuild the health system in Gaza.
08:25A first assessment showed
08:27that it would take more than $3 billion
08:29for the first year
08:31and $10 billion for 5 to 7 years.
08:34Another basic sector destroyed by the war,
08:36the school system.
08:38Nearly 90% of schools have been damaged.
08:41UNICEF estimated that on December 1,
08:44nearly 500 schools were destroyed
08:46out of 564 listed establishments.
08:49These school buildings were used as refuges for the displaced.
08:53Health systems, school systems, housing
08:56or even roads.
08:58Gaza is now a ruined city
09:00where the vast majority of basic infrastructure
09:03is to be rebuilt.
09:05For the UN, the speed and scale of killings
09:07and destruction in the Gaza Strip
09:09are unprecedented in recent history.
09:14Transition to Sudan with the United States
09:17who announced yesterday
09:19sanctions against the head of the Sudanese army,
09:22General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan,
09:25recognizing their inability to put an end
09:28to the conflict that ravages this country in East Africa.
09:31This American decision comes a few days after
09:34a similar measure against the head of the paramilitary,
09:38the members of the Sudanese armed forces.
09:40Under the direction of al-Burhan,
09:42atrocities continue to be committed,
09:45notably by targeting civilians
09:47and civilian infrastructures
09:49and also by executing civilians,
09:52said Antony Blinken.
09:54The US Secretary of State
09:56established that paramilitary forces,
09:58rapid support forces
10:00in the war against the Sudanese army,
10:03had committed a genocide
10:05and announced sanctions
10:07against Commander Mohamed Abdel Daghlo.
10:12Antonio Guterres arrived yesterday in Lebanon
10:15for a visit of solidarity,
10:17said his spokesman,
10:19adjoint Farhan Haque.
10:21The UN Secretary General
10:23must go today
10:25to the Blue Helmets
10:27in the south of Lebanon
10:29where a truce is in force
10:31between the pro-Iranian Hezbollah
10:33and Israel since the end of November.
10:35Antonio Guterres must also meet
10:37on Saturday the political leaders
10:39of the country,
10:41who just got a president
10:43after two years of vacation
10:45and a new prime minister.
10:49Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron
10:51arrived this morning
10:53in Beirut
10:55to support the new Lebanese leaders
10:57and their efforts
10:59to form a government
11:01capable of opening
11:03a new chapter in the country's history.
11:05The 12-hour express visit
11:07of the French president coincides
11:09with that in Beirut
11:11of the UN Secretary General,
11:13António Guterres.
11:15It is also possible that the two men
11:17will meet on site
11:19according to a French diplomatic source.
11:25We are back in the Kingdom
11:27to talk about an inter-ministerial commission
11:29that was created for the elaboration
11:31and proposal of a law text
11:33for the reform of the Moudavanna
11:35in order to submit it
11:37to the Parliament.
11:39The announcement was made yesterday
11:41by the spokesman of the government,
11:43Moussa Favaitas,
11:45after the meeting of the Council of Government.
11:47The commission will be composed
11:49of legal experts
11:51and will appeal
11:53to other expertise
11:55likely to be useful
11:57for the elaboration of this text.
12:01And in this same dynamic,
12:03the Council of Government
12:05which held yesterday
12:07also approved the decree
12:09on the creation
12:11of the High Health Authority.
12:13The statement was made by the spokesman
12:15of the government, Moussa Favaitas.
12:19The Council of Government
12:21approved the decree
12:23number 2.24.642
12:25applying the provisions
12:27of article 32 of the law
12:29number 07.22
12:31on the creation of the High Health Authority.
12:33Presented by the Minister of Health
12:35and Social Protection,
12:37Amine Tahraoui,
12:39this decree applies
12:41the provisions of the law
12:43number 07.22
12:45on the creation of the High Health Authority
12:47created in consecration
12:49of the Royal High Will
12:51aimed at the revision of the national health system
12:53and the promotion of the new approach
12:55which aims to consolidate
12:57the governance of the health sector
12:59in accordance with the main principles
13:01defined in the framework law
13:03number 06.22
13:05relating to the national health system.
13:07The text aims to apply
13:09the provisions of article 32
13:11of the law number 07.22
13:13which refers to a joint decision
13:15of the two governmental authorities
13:17in charge of finance and health
13:19in order to establish the list
13:21of real estate and real estate assets
13:23made available to the High Health Authority
13:25by the State
13:27necessary to accomplish these missions
13:29as well as the list of real estate
13:31and real estate assets belonging
13:33to the National Health Insurance Agency
13:35transferred without compensation
13:37and in full ownership
13:39to the High Health Authority.
13:43In Senegal,
13:45a major decision
13:47in the education sector
13:49since January 14, 2024
13:51English has been officially included
13:53in pre-school and elementary programs.
13:55This decision
13:57of the Minister of National Education
13:59is well received
14:01by students and teachers
14:03in Echatta, Diakite
14:05and Moussadir.
14:07It is in this atmosphere
14:09that the children
14:11of the pre-school school
14:13in Gueltape,
14:15in the Senegalese capital,
14:17learn English.
14:19It is through songs
14:21that they align the words
14:23learned with enthusiasm
14:25with their teacher.
14:27Afsa is proud of the firmness
14:29of her students.
14:31They are eager to speak English.
14:33For example,
14:35when I started
14:37my course,
14:39the children were eager
14:41to understand
14:43how to say hello in English,
14:45how to say
14:47my name in English,
14:49and so on.
14:51Some children at home
14:53ask their parents
14:55how to say mama in English,
14:57how to say papa in English.
14:59In another elementary school
15:01in Medina,
15:03recently, the Senegalese government
15:05has officially announced
15:07this initiative,
15:09which is well received by students.
15:11I felt a pleasure
15:13because I really like
15:15doing English classes
15:17with Mr. Kaba.
15:19It is interesting.
15:21To implement this project,
15:23the Senegalese state has trained
15:25659 teachers
15:27dedicated to the teaching
15:29of this new discipline.
15:31Mr. Kaba,
15:33are teachers privileged
15:35in the practical courses?
15:37Yes, compared to the program
15:39that the minister has given us,
15:41there are already lessons
15:43on which we must rely,
15:45which go directly
15:47into the child's living environment,
15:49things that he lives in the family
15:51or at school, etc.
15:53So we took these words
15:55or this program
15:57from the achievements
15:59of the minister of education.
16:01I came to supervise
16:03to see exactly
16:05how the course was going,
16:07but I came back with a feeling
16:09of satisfaction.
16:11English is often considered
16:13as the most used language in the world
16:15because of its dominant role
16:17as an international language.
16:19In Senegal, this language
16:21has been appreciated for several years.
16:23Its officialization in the educational system
16:25is therefore excellent news
16:27for the country.
16:29And it's time for the guest
16:31of your major newspaper,
16:33the creation of the High Health Authority
16:35and TATE,
16:37the government council
16:39adopted yesterday in Rabat
16:41the first decree on the implementation
16:43of this institution.
16:45And to talk about it, ladies and gentlemen,
16:47with us, Tayeb Himdi, doctor
16:49and researcher in politics
16:51and health systems.
16:53Hello and thank you for answering our invitation,
16:55doctor.
16:57Thank you for your invitation.
16:59So, doctor, before coming back
17:01to the content of this decree,
17:03why the strategic decision
17:05to create this
17:07High Health Authority?
17:09Indeed,
17:11it is a strategic decision,
17:13I would even say
17:15very strategic,
17:17since with the royal vision
17:19for health sites,
17:21to equip Morocco with an efficient,
17:23performing system
17:25and a health system that not only
17:27meets the needs
17:29of Moroccan citizens' health,
17:31but a health system
17:33that accompanies Morocco
17:35in its economic and social development.
17:37And so health in Morocco
17:39is currently seen as
17:41not a social sector,
17:43but a socio-economic sector
17:45without which we cannot develop
17:47in Morocco. So it was necessary
17:49to see in depth,
17:51as His Majesty the King said
17:53in 2018 already,
17:55a total and deep
17:57reconstruction
17:59of the health system
18:01in Morocco.
18:03And this reconstruction,
18:05we had two things.
18:07First, there are problems
18:09of insufficiency at the level of human resources,
18:11financial resources,
18:13health establishments
18:15that must be filled,
18:17but also there was a problem of governance,
18:19that is, with the means
18:21we had, we could not
18:23achieve the objectives that we could
18:25achieve with the same means.
18:27So there was a problem of governance that needed
18:29to be rectified, and that comes
18:31with the high authority of health,
18:33it comes with the territorial health groups
18:35and therefore other elements
18:37and tools for governance.
18:41And in relation to that too,
18:43what will be its role in the
18:45reform of the health system?
18:49There is the high authority of health,
18:51there is also the health agency,
18:53the medicine agency,
18:55the territorial health groups,
18:57so it is
18:59for the high authority,
19:01it is a set of tools
19:03that go together.
19:05The high authority of health,
19:07its role will be mainly
19:09to ensure the continuity
19:11of the action of the State
19:13in terms of health,
19:15that is, whatever
19:17the changes of government
19:19or other, there is a health policy
19:21of the country that
19:23this health action
19:25which of course is
19:27a long-term action,
19:29the objectives of the health policy, it affects
19:3120, 30, 40 years of a nation,
19:33so the role of the race
19:35is first that.
19:37The second main role is the
19:39technical framework
19:41of mandatory health insurance.
19:43It must be said that the generalization
19:45of mandatory health insurance
19:47cannot be sustainable,
19:49it cannot be efficient, it cannot be
19:51effective, it cannot be permanent
19:53unless there are medical-financial
19:55balances that are ensured
19:57and it is up to the race
19:59to manage that. The third
20:01main point is to evaluate
20:03the benefits
20:05that
20:07Moroccans and
20:09citizens benefit from,
20:11that is,
20:13the evaluation
20:15of health institutions,
20:17whether public or private,
20:19medicines,
20:21the epidemiological situation, accreditation.
20:23So these are
20:25the three main pillars
20:27of the work of the race.
20:29And also, Doctor,
20:31what form and status will this
20:33institution take?
20:35So,
20:37already by law, it will be
20:39an institution that
20:41has an independence,
20:43that has an administrative
20:45and financial autonomy.
20:47It always works
20:49under the tutelage of the government
20:51since it is the government, it is the parliament
20:53that lays the
20:55lines,
20:57the main lines of the
20:59health policy that Morocco needs.
21:01But this
21:03institution, the High Health
21:05Authority, will have
21:07all the necessary skills,
21:09it will have all the necessary
21:11attributes for
21:13the implementation of health
21:15policies, the evaluation of
21:17health policies, the observation of
21:19health policies, also
21:21to be
21:23to propose
21:25to the government and
21:27to the legislators
21:29reforms and decisions to be made,
21:31also to be consulted by the
21:33government and the legislator
21:35on issues related to
21:37health policies.
21:39And so, this institution will have
21:41all the latitude to
21:43implement the health policy
21:45wanted by Morocco,
21:47evaluate it, accompany it,
21:49eventually straighten it out
21:51and, of course,
21:53strengthen it on the positive points
21:55that emerge over time.
21:57And according to you,
21:59what will be its prerogatives?
22:03So, the prerogatives are already
22:05the Law 07-22,
22:07the Law 07-22,
22:09which stems from the Framework Law
22:11of Health 06-22,
22:13which was adopted by the Council of Ministers
22:15presided by His Majesty the King
22:17already in 2022.
22:19And the prerogatives
22:21will be, as we said,
22:23the technical
22:25framework
22:27of health insurance.
22:29When we talk about the framework of love,
22:31we know that there is
22:33ACNOPS, which is now in
22:35fusion with the CNSS.
22:37There are other
22:39managers of mandatory health insurance,
22:41but the role of managers
22:43is not the role of the HAS.
22:45The managers are to manage
22:47the daily, to manage the balance,
22:49to make financial balances,
22:51I would say. For the HAS,
22:53it's something else, it's the technical framework,
22:55it's to see if
22:57the action, the management
22:59of mandatory health insurance
23:01is compatible and perfectly meets
23:03the objectives of health
23:05policies of the Kingdom.
23:07So it's beyond the financial
23:09balance, it's beyond the management
23:11of a health insurance,
23:13it's how to make
23:15a health insurance a tool
23:17to achieve health objectives
23:19for citizens.
23:21Among the prerogatives,
23:23there is also the evaluation
23:25of health establishments.
23:27Before,
23:29what did we have? Before, we had
23:31the Ministry of Health doing these
23:33evaluations, whether for hospitals
23:35or private hospitals. And it's contradictory
23:37in a way, since
23:39the Minister of Health
23:41is a provider of services
23:43through hospitals.
23:45The Minister of Health, through hospitals,
23:47he sells the health service
23:49to insurance and
23:51to citizens. And the Ministry,
23:53it's the same administration that
23:55did the evaluation and that did
23:57the validation and accreditation, which
23:59played the role of
24:01just and impartial,
24:03which is
24:05unfortunately an anomaly
24:07of governance. Now,
24:09it's the health service that will do the
24:11evaluation of the public hospital,
24:13the accreditation of the public hospital
24:15and the establishment in the private sector.
24:17So,
24:19another thing, for example, for the
24:21epidemiological situation, there is the Ministry,
24:23there are the Ministry's services that do
24:25the follow-up, but there is the HASS,
24:27which will do the follow-up analysis
24:29and, of course, draw the necessary
24:31lessons, whether in an urgent
24:33way, whether in a preventive
24:35and proactive way for the future.
24:37Can you also tell us
24:39the means that will be
24:41made available to this institution
24:43to achieve, of course,
24:45these objectives?
24:47Of course,
24:49to achieve the objectives,
24:51it is not enough to trace them.
24:53The means must be given.
24:55First of all, the means
24:57on the legislative,
24:59administrative, financial and human level
25:01and what is happening
25:03right now, because the
25:05president of the HASS,
25:07was appointed by
25:09His Majesty already
25:11at the end of 2024.
25:13The HASS has not yet started its work,
25:15precisely because there are
25:17texts and there are application decrees,
25:19texts that must come out,
25:21that must come out
25:23this week,
25:25to equip the HASS.
25:27It is already equipped
25:29with prerogatives. Now,
25:31it must be equipped with
25:33the necessary rules,
25:35the necessary programs,
25:37the necessary members, because
25:39it is necessary to name
25:41five permanent members
25:43who are vice-presidents
25:45of the president.
25:47There are council members,
25:49the scientific committee and others.
25:51And of course, there are also
25:53the locals, the real estate,
25:55the human resources.
25:57So, all this is happening.
25:59It must be said that
26:01the HASS is already going to inherit
26:03prerogatives,
26:05skills
26:07and human resources
26:09and the assets of the
26:11National Insurance,
26:13the National Agency for Disease
26:15and Safety, which is already functional.
26:17So,
26:19this is already
26:21happening today
26:23so that the HASS
26:25can start
26:27its functions as soon as possible
26:29because there are a lot
26:31of things to do and a lot of things
26:33that cannot wait.
26:35And very quickly, of course, Doctor,
26:37in relation to what you just said,
26:39who should, in your opinion,
26:41sit within this authority?
26:47Excuse me?
26:49I was saying, in relation to this authority,
26:51according to you, very quickly, who should
26:53sit there, in your opinion?
26:57Well, it is noted even in our text
26:59that we must have
27:01in this instance people who have experience,
27:03people who have experience,
27:05who have expertise, who have a vision.
27:07But especially, in my opinion,
27:09in my opinion, the people who must
27:11sit in this
27:13instance are people
27:15with a break, I would say,
27:17with the vision of the past.
27:19That is to say, people who will
27:21inspire confidence, to ensure
27:23the inspiration of the citizen because we are
27:25in a period of transition.
27:27We have Moroccans who are not yet
27:29registered. We have Moroccans who are
27:31registered and the charge
27:33that does not apply, they have
27:35closed rights. Two-thirds of TNS
27:37have closed rights. We have
27:39a high
27:41discharge rate. We have
27:4370% of health expenses that are still
27:45supported by doctors.
27:49And thank you again, Mr. Tehebehimdi.
27:51So thank you again for answering the question.
27:53I remind you that you are a doctor
27:55and researcher in politics and health systems.
28:01And here we are also closing this round
28:03of news on Mediain TV Africa.
