00:00Thank you for joining us for this round of news, here are the headlines.
00:21The Treaty of Treves in Gaza comes into force this Sunday, while the Prime Minister requires
00:26a list of hostages to be released before any exchange of prisoners.
00:30Details in a few moments.
00:33Visiting the Secretary General of the UN in Lebanon, Antonio Guterres hopes for a more
00:39promising future for the country of cedar and calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces
00:43from Lebanese territory in the appropriate time frame.
00:46In Morocco, we will go around the market where the prices of fruits and vegetables have climbed
00:54while the price of red meat worries consumers.
00:58Back on the causes of these increases, we meet again right away for the news.
01:07It is this Sunday, ladies and gentlemen, that the Trevis agreement in Gaza comes into force.
01:1433 hostages, more than 1,800 Palestinian prisoners will be released according to Egypt.
01:21The agreement on a six-week truce and on the release of 33 hostages held in Gaza in exchange
01:28for 737 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel comes into force Sunday morning at 8.30 local
01:34time, the day after its approval by Israel.
01:37The agreement on a six-week truce and on the release of 33 hostages held in Gaza in exchange
01:43for 737 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel comes into force Sunday morning at 8.30 local
01:48time, the day after its approval by Israel.
01:51The launch was made by Qatar, one of the international mediators, with Egypt and the United States.
02:02First of all, we have to believe in this.
02:04Failure is not an option.
02:06This is fundamentally what we should all aspire to.
02:09Now, if the agreement fails, we will not give up.
02:12We will make sure that it is corrected again and that the parties agree.
02:16We do not think that this agreement will be implemented as it is, literally, but we
02:21are doing our best to create a consensus.
02:30The agreement was elaborately obtained after more than a year of negotiations.
02:34However, sirens have still sounded in Jerusalem.
02:37The Israeli army claimed in the morning to have intercepted in the center of the country
02:41a projectile from Yemen.
02:43The Houthi rebels of Yemen, supported by Iran, claim to have fired a missile targeting
02:48the Ministry of Defense in the region of Jaffa.
03:02The missiles of the Yemeni armed forces carried out a specific military operation targeting
03:06the so-called Ministry of Defense of the Israeli enemy, whose occupied area of Jaffa,
03:11using a ballistic missile, the Fakhrar.
03:14The Yemeni armed forces claim that they will stand alongside the Palestinian resistance
03:19to face militarily any violation or any military escalation.
03:31The ceasefire must open the way to a massive flood of aid, according to the mediators,
03:35of which Egypt is one.
03:37Hundreds of trucks are parked on the Egyptian side at the border post of Jaffa, closed since
03:42May, when the Israeli forces took control of the Palestinian side of the crossing point.
03:47During the first phase, the modalities of the second phase will be negotiated, which
03:51must allow the liberation of the last hostages before the third and last stage, devoted
03:56to the reconstruction of Gaza and the restitution of the bodies of the dead hostages in captivity.
04:03Benyamin Netanyahu promised to bring back all the hostages held in the Gaza Strip.
04:09For the Israeli Prime Minister, his country has the right to resume the war against Hamas
04:14at any time, with the support of the United States.
04:17This, at the end of the Treaty of Trev, must come into force today.
04:24Let's stay in the Middle East, where Sigrid Hague is now entrusted with several caps.
04:30She was appointed Special Coordinator for the peace process in the Middle East.
04:36Ms. Hague will also coordinate humanitarian action and reconstruction in Gaza, while
04:42being the personal representative of the UN Secretary General with the Organization
04:48for the Liberation of Palestine and the Palestinian Authority.
04:54Meanwhile, Antonio Guterres was elected to Lebanon.
04:58The UN Secretary General hopes for a more promising future for the country of cedar
05:04after the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which he wants permanently.
05:09He calls on the Israeli army to definitely withdraw from Lebanese territory in the
05:14appropriate time.
05:16Development with Ben Ali.
05:20The visit of Antonio Guterres to Lebanon, a reaffirmation of the commitment of the UN,
05:25has accompanied Lebanon in its efforts to stabilize and reform.
05:29In this sense, the UN Secretary General met the Lebanese Prime Minister and promised
05:34him economic support, but also military support for the Israeli withdrawal from the south.
05:40After one of the most difficult years for generations, Lebanon is at the dawn of a more
05:46promising future.
05:48The UN will intensify its support for the restoration and reconstruction of Lebanon.
05:54The UN is working in close collaboration with the Lebanese army so that the Israeli
06:02Defense Forces in southern Lebanon will definitely withdraw in the appropriate time.
06:12The ceasefire agreement that ended the war between Hezbollah and Israel stipulates that
06:17the Lebanese army must deploy alongside the Blue Helmets in southern Lebanon.
06:21Hence, the Israeli army must withdraw for a period of 60 days, that is, until January 26.
06:27On its part, the Lebanese Prime Minister called on Syrian refugees to return home,
06:32now that Syria has regained stability.
06:39Given the change in the situation in Syria, I raised the question of the need to start
06:44preparing with the UN a safe and dignified return of Syrian refugees from Lebanon.
06:50More than 200,000 Syrian refugees have returned to their country since the fall of Bashar al-Assad
06:55in early December, announced by the UN on Saturday.
06:58Hundreds of thousands of Syrians had fled the Israeli bombings in Lebanon and had returned
07:03to their country even before Hezbollah forced Bashar al-Assad to leave the country.
07:11It is under a devastating temperature.
07:15It is under a devastating temperature, minus 12 degrees Celsius, that Donald Trump will
07:21take his oath on Monday in the United States.
07:24The very next 47th American president plans to make his inauguration inside the Capitol
07:29a first in 40 years.
07:32This change in protocol promises to be a logistical puzzle, while tens of thousands of chairs
07:38have been erected on the hall, and thousands of photographers and televisions must be pre-positioned.
07:49This time in Tunisia, Abir Moussi, president of the Free Syrians Party, is still behind
07:56the bars.
07:57His supporters have yet to demonstrate to demand his release, but so have the so-called
08:03prisoners of opinion of Tunisian Najwa Bechar.
08:09Armed with Tunisian flags and chanting the national anthem, the supporters of the Free
08:15Syrians Party have demonstrated this Saturday by chanting slogans calling for the release
08:21of political prisoners.
08:23The participants walked through the arteries of the Capitol, expressing their anger and
08:29their demands.
08:32We organized this march, which was followed by a demonstration in front of the Ministry
08:38of Women, and we chanted national slogans denouncing the general situation of the country,
08:44the economic, social and humanitarian situation.
08:47We also came today to denounce the Tunisian judicial system, which we consider
08:53non-independent.
08:55Today, Tunisian prisons are full of victims of the decree 54.
09:05Usually, after each election, the president becomes the president of the whole people,
09:10and this did not happen in Tunisia, so Tunisians are not satisfied.
09:16During this demonstration, the Free Syrians Party also expressed its unconditional support
09:22for its president, Rabir Moussi, imprisoned since October 2023.
09:27The demonstrators demanded the immediate release of Rabir Moussi and held the authorities
09:33responsible for any harm she could suffer during her detention.
09:41As a lawyer, I confirm that in the case of Rabir Moussi, we went from a judicial case
09:47to a political case par excellence.
09:50This is why we called for this demonstration.
09:55Here are photos of journalists arrested because of the decree 54,
09:59put in place to destroy families.
10:02I am talking about Sonia Dahmeni, the journalist and lawyer who spoke of her country
10:07with pain and honesty.
10:09As a result, she ended up in prison.
10:13Mohamed Bouraleb, also a journalist, denounced corruption and ended up in prison.
10:18Rabir Moussi was also accused of conspiring against the security of the state,
10:23accusations that confirm that we are now facing a justice that is not independent.
10:31It should be noted that the opposition organized three consecutive demonstrations
10:36over the course of this week, denouncing the decree 54,
10:40a controversial legislation perceived as repressive,
10:45and calling for the release of prisoners of opinion,
10:48in particular political opponents incarcerated.
10:53It was a mourning Saturday in Nigeria,
10:56where at least 70 people found death in the center of the country
11:00following the explosion of a tanker truck carrying 60,000 liters of gasoline.
11:05The accident occurred at a junction on the road
11:09linking the federal capital Abuja to the city of Kaduna.
11:13The fuel spread on the ground and a crowd of people gathered
11:18to pick them up before the truck suddenly caught fire.
11:26Fruits and vegetables prices have climbed in Morocco in recent days.
11:31An increase that is not without consequence on the purchasing power of the Moroccans.
11:36What does such an increase mean?
11:38Al Abedani gives us some answers.
11:42Fruits and vegetables prices in Morocco are experiencing spectacular increases
11:46as the holy month of Ramadan approaches.
11:48Here in the Souk of Selmia in Casablanca,
11:50merchants explain this increase by the presence of a multitude of intermediaries
11:55in the sales circuit and the drought that the country is suffering from.
12:01There is speculation about prices.
12:03Merchandise is resold 2 to 3 times at different prices each time.
12:07There is drought as the main cause.
12:09Merchandise goes through 4 intermediaries before landing in our country.
12:12We bought the box of vegetables for 50 dirhams.
12:14Now we buy it for 250 dirhams.
12:16Bones that worry consumers,
12:19especially the basic vegetables that are the most affected.
12:25Prices are exorbitant.
12:27Now the poor can no longer afford to have fun from time to time.
12:34Prices are too high.
12:36Especially tomatoes, which have reached 12 dirhams.
12:39The same goes for onions, potatoes.
12:41The rise in prices affects all vegetables.
12:44While waiting for the generosity of heaven,
12:46merchants and consumers hope that the intermediaries
12:49will undergo stricter control from the authorities,
12:52that exports and delays to foreign countries slow down
12:56and that the month of Ramadan arrives with its blessings in time.
13:01The high price of red meat always worries Moroccan consumers.
13:06The authorities are announcing measures to deal with it.
13:09Cheima Fikri tells us about it.
13:13The prices of red meat on the Moroccan market are still high,
13:17weighing heavily on the consumer.
13:20Measures such as the import of meat from Brazil or Europe
13:24have not had a significant impact on the final prices,
13:27which are also between 100 and 130 dirhams per kilogram.
13:30Professionals in the sector explain the failure of these initiatives
13:33to achieve the expected results
13:35due to the fact that the imported meat from Spain
13:38has not been sufficiently integrated into the Moroccan market
13:41and because of the lack of adequate mechanisms
13:43to receive and maintain its products in optimal conditions.
13:47This is added to by practices such as monopoly and speculation,
13:50which affect the trade sector in great detail.
13:58The imported meat from Spain is of high quality.
14:01Importers are used to importing live cattle, ready to be slaughtered.
14:05However, the measures taken by the government aim to stabilize prices.
14:09Nevertheless, frozen meat has not yet been imported to Morocco
14:13due to the conditions and the complex import process for importers.
14:17The Moroccan consumer has not seen any significant changes.
14:20However, it is well present and I say this
14:23because meat prices have not increased, but have remained stable.
14:26But the fact that there have been no price drops
14:29is explained by the fact that we are still waiting for additional measures.
14:32The Moroccan consumer has not received any additional measures.
14:35But the fact that there have been no price drops
14:38is explained by the fact that we are still waiting for additional measures.
14:41The imported meat is subjected to a number of conditions of slaughter and delivery,
14:45which guarantees its high quality and conformity to the requirements of the Moroccan market.
14:57I confirm that the veterinary services in the Lonsa area
15:00are taking care of their missions in terms of sanitary surveillance.
15:03I confirm that the veterinary services in the Lonsa area
15:06are taking care of their missions in terms of sanitary surveillance.
15:09Therefore, there is no need to worry about this issue.
15:12The main thing is the availability of this meat.
15:15Therefore, there is no need to worry about this issue.
15:18The main thing is the availability of this meat.
15:21According to the professionals in the sector,
15:24the measures taken by the government lack a global strategic vision
15:27to respond effectively to this crisis.
15:30They emphasize the failure of a coherent approach
15:33aimed at strengthening direct support for small farmers,
15:36in particular by the supply of subsidized food
15:39and the simulation of local production.
15:42Experts also insist on the urgent need
15:45to improve the control of the distribution chain
15:48in order to ensure that the meat reaches the consumer at affordable prices.

15:54For the first time after the fall of Bachar al-Assad,
15:57the Damascus Museum reopens.
16:00This museum had closed its doors a month before the arrival of the new regime in power.

16:21the Museum of Antiquities had closed its doors
16:24as a precaution against the instability of the situation.
16:27We began to worry
16:30when the authorities deleted parts of the history textbooks,
16:33when the authorities deleted parts of the history textbooks,
16:36such as the history of divinity statues.
16:39We feared that they would erase everything, including our domain, archaeology,
16:42that we thought we would see disappear.
16:45However, they clarified later that they would make some changes,

17:52That's all for today.
