00:00Welcome everyone, thank you for joining us in this big news, here are the headlines.
00:23In the Middle East, Palestinians from Gaza could return to the north of the territory of Benyamin Netanyahu after the negotiations between Israel and Hamas were suspended.
00:38Still in the region, the agreement to cease fire between Israel and Lebanon was extended until February 18, even if the Israeli army did not withdraw from the south of Lebanon.
00:53In this news also, Morocco under the fire of projectors.
00:58The kingdom will host this Monday night at 7 p.m. the ceremony of the draw for the final phase of the Africa Cup of Nations Football Morocco 2025.
01:07We talk about it in this news.
01:09The Palestinians are allowed to return to the north of Gaza, this is what was decreed by Israel.
01:22After an agreement on hostages, the displaced from Gaza could begin to return to the north of the territory this morning, according to the office of the Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu.
01:32This new step allows to preserve the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
01:40The Palestinian enclave, devastated by 15 months of war and whose almost all inhabitants have been displaced.
01:48The unblocking of the negotiations was announced last night by Benyamin Netanyahu.
02:00Hamas should release three hostages on Thursday in Arbel Yehud, which, as a reminder, was the subject of a blockade during the last exchange.
02:09Following intensive and determined negotiations, Hamas will release a soldier and another hostage on Thursday in Arbel Yehud,
02:19the office of the Israeli Prime Minister in a late statement.
02:24The night is planned for the first phase of the draw between Israel and Hamas.
02:29Three other hostages will be released on Saturday.
02:34Still in the Middle East, Egypt rejects all forced displacements of Palestinians.
02:40The proposal of the American President Donald Trump to move the Gaza Strip to Jordan and Egypt does not pass.
02:47The Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas expressed his strong rejection and his condemnation, even without a bell, on the side of Jordan.
02:58Donald Trump proposes to send the Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan.
03:05The American President has proposed to move the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip to Egypt and Jordan as part of a peace plan consisting of cleaning up the Palestinian territory.
03:16For Trump, the goal is to give the inhabitants of Gaza a chance to live in peace for once, far from destruction and daily violence.
03:26I said to him, I'd love you to take on more, because I'm looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now.
03:32We're talking about about 1.5 million people and we're just cleaning up in there.
03:37You know, over the centuries, this site has experienced many conflicts and I don't know, something must happen.
03:43I would like Egypt to welcome people and I would like Jordan to welcome people.
03:47It's literally a demolition site right now. Almost everything is demolished and people die there.
03:51So I'd rather get involved with some Arab nations and build housing elsewhere, where they might be able to live in peace, for once.
04:00You know, over the centuries, it's had many, many conflicts, that site.
04:05The Jordanian has reacted today to his foreign affairs minister, who has reaffirmed the rejection of his country of a forced move by the Palestinians.
04:15On his side, Hamas has strongly criticized the American president's proposal to move the Gazans to Egypt and Jordan to threaten him, according to him, in the Gaza Strip, where a very fragile country is entering its second week.
04:28What about the statements of the new American president, Donald Trump, about the displacement of Palestinians, under what title?
04:39As for the remarks made by the new American president on the move of the Palestinians, whether temporary or long-term,
04:46I say that if the Palestinian people, while they were subjected to genocide, were not moved or transferred out of the Gaza Strip,
04:52and that they remained firm and attached to their lands, what would push them to move, or to be moved again after the end of the war, and after what is supposed to be the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip?
05:04Once again, after the end of the war, and after what is supposed to be the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
05:15The current tension between Israel and Hamas only adds to the uncertainty surrounding the future of Gaza.
05:21The move proposed by Donald Trump could be a radical solution to a complex situation,
05:26but its implementation raises important questions on the diplomatic level,
05:31in particular concerning the reactions of neighboring countries and the viability of such a large-scale transfer.
05:37And in the news as well, Lebanon has finally agreed to extend the ceasefire until February 18th,
05:46even though Israel fired yesterday in the direction of the south of Lebanon, killing 22 and injuring 100.
05:54An announcement made late last night by the United States, confirmed this Monday by the Lebanese government,
05:59which says it has agreed to extend the implementation of the ceasefire agreement with Israel,
06:04despite the lack of respect for the deadline for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the south of the country.
06:13After the announcement by the Israeli authorities of the withdrawal of Tzal from the south of Lebanon,
06:19supposed to end on Sunday, according to the ceasefire agreement,
06:23the situation has degenerated in the southern part,
06:26occupied by Israeli soldiers who opened fire on Lebanese civilians who braved the ban to join their village.
06:34A new report from the Ministry of Health shows 22 dead and more than 120 injured.
06:45Despite the ceasefire agreements, Tzal remains deployed in southern Lebanon,
06:50opening fire on families who are trying to return home.
06:53Hundreds of inhabitants of southern Lebanon braved the Israeli army on Sunday
06:57and tried to return to their village, some still occupied by Israeli forces,
07:02who opened fire in their direction, killing about twenty.
07:06By virtue of the agreement, which ended on November 27th, two months of open war,
07:09only the Lebanese army and the UN Blue Helmets can now be deployed in southern Lebanon,
07:14where the Israeli army was supposed to have completed its withdrawal on January 26th.
07:18But Israel announced on Friday that the withdrawal operation would continue beyond this deadline,
07:24assuming that the agreement had not been fully fulfilled by Lebanon.
07:28Tzal indicated that his soldiers had fired summoning shots to eliminate threats in several areas
07:33where suspects were identified approaching troops,
07:37adding to having apprehended suspects, which constituted an imminent threat.
07:41The Blue Helmets, who estimated that the conditions for the return of the inhabitants were not yet agreed,
07:45declared that it was imperative to avoid any further deterioration of the situation
07:51and called on the Israeli army to avoid firing on civilians in Lebanese territory.
07:56Lebanese President Joseph Aoun invited the inhabitants to show no fear
08:00and have confidence in the Lebanese army,
08:03concerned about ensuring a safe return to their homes and villages.
08:07On the other hand, Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati
08:10called on the parents of the ceasefire agreement on Sunday
08:12to take responsibility and force the Israeli enemy to withdraw from the territories it occupies.
08:19A surveillance mechanism brought together France, the United States, Lebanon, Israel and the Blue Helmets
08:24was put in place to monitor the application of the agreement.
08:27The Israeli army withdrew its forces from the coastal sector of southern Lebanon
08:31but remained in the most eastern areas, claiming to act in support of its ally Hamas.
08:36Hezbollah had opened a front against Israel the day after the attack on October 7, 2023,
08:40which triggered the war in the Gaza Strip,
08:43where a fragile truce has also been in force since January 19.
08:47This front had degenerated into an open war last September,
08:50Israel bombing the capital, Beirut,
08:53and inflicting several hard blows on the powerful Lebanese movement.
08:57And in the rest of the news,
09:00US President Donald Trump finally suspended sanctions against Colombia
09:04after an agreement on migrants, according to the White House,
09:07Bogota has accepted all American conditions for the repatriation of Colombian immigrants
09:13expelled by the United States,
09:16including the acceptance without restriction of all illegal foreigners from Colombia,
09:21sent by Washington without limitation or delay.
09:24On the basis of this agreement,
09:26the tariffs and sanctions already written will be put aside
09:30and will not be signed unless the White House ensures
09:34that Colombia does not honor this agreement.
10:07And the Rwandan forces withdrew from the territory of the Democratic Republic of Congo
10:12and ceased their support for the group Armesh M23,
10:16denouncing, I quote,
10:18contempt and shame for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
10:28After the withdrawal of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger,
10:32what is the future for the ACDA or the withdrawal of these three countries,
10:35of the alliance of the states of the Sahel,
10:38of the economic community of the states of West Africa,
10:42takes effect this Wednesday after a year of political tensions
10:46making uncertain the future of the regional organization in a fractured West Africa.
10:51The three countries had ignored the call of the ACDA
10:56to extend the period of six months to try to find a solution.
11:01Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, now united in a confederation,
11:06the alliance of the states of the Sahel,
11:08accuses the ACDA of having imposed against them
11:11inhuman, illegal and illegitimate sanctions.
11:19Let's talk about something else now.
11:22After pastry, Morocco participates in Allianz,
11:25the 20th edition of the Bocuse d'Or.
11:27The Moroccan leaders were in front of the ovens
11:32to stand out and highlight their talents,
11:36but also the tasters of the kingdom
11:39plunged into the atmosphere of this competition
11:42with our special envoy, Ilhan Barada.
11:45Yassine Bourded and Youssef Loumbrani
11:48are the two leaders who defend the colors of Morocco
11:50for the Bocuse d'Or 2025.
11:52The 24 candidates of the grand final,
11:54which ends on January 27,
11:57will have 5h30 to stand out
11:59on the two emblematic tests of the Bocuse d'Or.
12:02The scoring of the two tests
12:04is carried out by two groups of jury experts,
12:08the cuisine jury and the tasting jury.
12:13Today, I am an international cuisine jury
12:17where I will judge the candidates,
12:20especially on hygiene,
12:21the seasoning techniques,
12:24the cooking, the respect of the theme
12:27and especially what is the particularity of the country,
12:31the country where they come with the seasoning they will do,
12:34something traditional that will reflect us
12:37through their plates and their dishes.
12:39This competition is a competition of excellence,
12:42it is a competition that shows the well-done work
12:46and the transmission that Paul Bocuse had already started
12:49and that it must continue today.
12:52Like all the participants,
12:54the Moroccan team must prepare a dish
12:56that pays tribute to the legacy of Paul Bocuse.
12:59The mandatory ingredients are chevreuil,
13:02foie gras and tea,
13:04in addition to a fruit native to the country of the candidate.
13:07For Imane Hebdad, a culinary animator
13:09settled in France and came to encourage Morocco,
13:11couscous remains her favorite dish
13:14and the most representative of the kingdom.
13:17The famous Moroccan couscous with the seven vegetables
13:21that I prefer with meat.
13:23I find it easy,
13:25yet people find it a bit difficult,
13:28but I find it easy,
13:30so we make the meat, the vegetables,
13:34directly the couscous,
13:36in couscous, of course,
13:38with Moroccan saffron,
13:40also semolina, of course,
13:42and Moroccan olive oil,
13:44and then we have the art.
13:48Today, since a simple gastronomic competition
13:51the Bocuse d'Or is a laboratory of excellence,
13:54an incubator of talent
13:56where commitment, passion,
13:58technique and creativity
14:00reveal the greatest leaders of tomorrow.
14:04A word of sport now,
14:06the African football giant,
14:08Morocco welcomes the best teams on the continent
14:10for the draw of the 35th Africa Cup
14:13of the nations on Monday night in Rabat
14:16at 7 p.m. dreaming of finally winning
14:18a second crown
14:19five years before organizing the World Cup.
14:22The kingdom offers itself
14:24a great repetition
14:26by welcoming in six cities
14:28Casablanca, Tangier, Marrakech, Rabat, Agadir,
14:31and Fez a board of 23 teams.
14:33In addition to Morocco,
14:35the FIFA ranking determines
14:37the five other heads of the series
14:39of the draw to determine
14:41the six groups of four teams
14:43alongside the members of the class
14:45in the first hat.
14:47We find in particular the Ivory Coast,
14:49which holds the title,
14:51Egypt, Algeria, Senegal and Nigeria
14:53and concerns this 35th edition
14:55of the Africa Cup of Nations.
15:07Let me first say
15:09what I always say.
15:11It's always special for me
15:13to come here.
15:15Morocco and the Moroccan people
15:17have a special place
15:19in my heart.
15:21I would like to thank
15:23my brother Fawzi
15:25for his leadership,
15:27his excellent work
15:29in Moroccan football
15:31which benefits not only
15:33the Moroccan people
15:35but also for the benefit
15:37of the people of Africa.
15:39Because when Morocco performs
15:41or even any nation
15:43whether it is Nigeria,
15:45Egypt or even all the others,
15:47when they perform
15:49they make us proud.
15:51I would also like to thank
15:53His Majesty King Mohammed VI
15:55may God bless him
15:57for his support and love
15:59for football,
16:01for my brother Fawzi
16:03and for the federation
16:05but also for African football.
16:07I am grateful to him.
16:15I would also like to thank
16:17the Prime Minister,
16:19the Moroccan government
16:21and the Moroccan people.
16:25I think the draw ceremony
16:27will be exciting.
16:29Everyone wants to know
16:31who Morocco will play against.
16:33This Africa Nations Cup
16:35will be full of success
16:37and the most exciting
16:39in the history of this competition.
16:41We could not have found
16:43a better place
16:45with the most passionate people
16:47in the African continent.
16:49This is the most exciting
16:51venue
16:53with the most passionate
16:55people in Morocco
16:57and the most passionate people
16:59in Africa.
17:19We are live with Mr. Nassim Mekaf,
17:21a sports journalist.
17:23Hello, Mr. Mekaf.
17:25Thank you for accepting
17:27our invitation.
17:30Hello, hello to everyone.
17:32I am Nassim Mekaf
17:34and I am a sports journalist
17:36and I would like to welcome
17:38Mr. Mekaf
17:40and his team
17:42to this competition.
17:44I would like to start
17:46by saying
17:47hello to everyone
17:49and I hope you will have
17:51a great start to the week.
17:53The draw ceremony
17:55will take place
17:57this evening
17:59at the Grand Théâtre de Rabat
18:01from 7 p.m. local time.
18:03What do you think
18:05is the importance
18:07of this meeting for Morocco?
18:09A meeting that will give
18:11a foretaste of CETCAN 2025.
18:14You said it so well
18:15and I think we will stick
18:17to those terms.
18:19A foretaste that will give
18:21a mouthful to everyone
18:23because we expect CETCAN
18:25to be the best CETCAN
18:27of all time.
18:29We have given ourselves
18:31the means to succeed.
18:33I think the Moroccan people
18:35are aware of the importance
18:37of the success of this event
18:39in view of what is coming.
18:41We are probably thinking
18:43of the Club World Cup
18:45and, above all,
18:47the World Cup in 2030.
18:49For me, this is a foretaste
18:51of a historic event.
18:53The whole continent
18:55and the whole world
18:57is waiting for CETCAN.
18:59They are waiting to see
19:01an African footballer
19:03with all his characteristics
19:05on Moroccan grass
19:07and in a climate
19:09that is a bit more
19:11quiet for footballers
19:13and a lot more pleasant
19:15and we are looking forward
19:17to this draw to get an idea
19:19of the posters that are waiting
19:21for us from the first round.
19:23In addition to Morocco,
19:25the highest country in the competition,
19:2723 other nations will know
19:29their opponents in the group stage.
19:31What do you think
19:33is the best and worst
19:35possible draw for
19:37the Lions?
19:40Playing at home
19:42transforms all draws
19:43into complicated draws.
19:45Generally, we tend to believe
19:47that when we play at home
19:49we have less pressure
19:51and it's easier,
19:53whereas no,
19:55we have a lot more pressure.
19:57The opponents will wait for us
19:59even more and they will
20:01defend even more to wait
20:03for the national team
20:05and see what they will do.
20:07They will try to anticipate
20:09and will be waiting.
20:11Unfortunately,
20:13the draw will be based
20:15only on the FIFA rankings
20:17or on the rivalries.
20:19We will try to avoid
20:21a Morocco-Cameroon
20:23in the group stage
20:25or we will try to avoid
20:27a Morocco-Gabon
20:29knowing the history
20:31between the two nations.
20:33For me,
20:35one of the worst draws
20:37would be Tunisia or Cameroon
20:39in the group stage.
20:41After that,
20:43it's not necessarily
20:45a good thing.
20:47For the fourth draw,
20:49from memory,
20:51I wouldn't like to draw
20:53a team like Mozambique
20:55who are surprising,
20:57talented and who want
20:59to surprise.
21:01For the easier draws,
21:03it would be to play
21:05a team like Mali
21:07who are always looking
21:09for the second pot.
21:11Going to the third pot
21:13and drawing
21:15a Burkina Faso team
21:17from the second pot.
21:19And then,
21:21looking for a team
21:23from the fourth pot
21:25like Tanzania
21:27who we know very well
21:29and who we have beaten
21:31in the previous meetings.
21:33So, that would be
21:35an easy draw.
21:37But as I said,
21:39in this Africa Cup
21:41and as the previous Africa Cup
21:43it's complicated.
21:45I just hope
21:47that we will have
21:49an exceptional show
21:51which will highlight
21:53the values of this country
21:55which are as African
21:57as Arab and Asian.
21:59In terms of sports infrastructure,
22:01nine stadiums have been announced
22:03for the organization
22:05of this competition
22:07in six different cities,
22:09four of which are in the capital,
22:11Rabat.
22:13Do you think
22:15that these stadiums
22:17or these sports infrastructures
22:19will be able to welcome
22:21the many meetings with brilliance?
22:24I think that in my words
22:26about football groups
22:28and matches,
22:30you felt a certain reluctance.
22:32It's normal, it's football.
22:34But if there is a certainty
22:36in this framework,
22:38it is that Morocco will succeed
22:40in terms of infrastructure.
22:42It will become
22:44our daily bread
22:46until the next World Cup.
22:48I think that today,
22:50with nine stadiums,
22:52it's already a record for a club.
22:54Never has a club been organized
22:56on nine different stadiums.
22:58It's a commitment that Morocco
23:00has made to highlight
23:02this Africa Cup of Nations
23:04and show that it has nothing to envy
23:06to Europe, for example,
23:08or even the Asian Cup
23:09even if football in Africa
23:11remains for me
23:13much more beautiful to see,
23:15much more beautiful to see,
23:17much more exciting than football in Asia.
23:19But there is a lack of infrastructure
23:21to put all this forward.
23:23I think that Morocco is well placed
23:25to show what it is worth.
23:27Quite simply,
23:29you have to say things as they are today.
23:31All eyes will be on Morocco.
23:33High country of the next
23:35World Cup 2030.
23:37So everyone will want to see
23:39that everything is OK.
23:41And I have no problem,
23:43no doubt, sorry,
23:45at the level of infrastructure,
23:47whether it's in terms of stadiums,
23:49whether it's in terms of base camps,
23:51whether it's in terms of hotels
23:53that will welcome the teams,
23:55the nations and their staff
23:57and their supporters above all.
23:59Today, at the level of infrastructure,
24:01I think we'll get there.
24:03We are able to link two cities
24:05in less than an hour.
24:07We are able to link Tangier
24:09and Rabat
24:11in a little less than two hours.
24:13So it's something we've already done.
24:15There is no problem.
24:17I think the supporters
24:19who will follow this camp
24:21will be lucky to follow
24:23the best camp of all time.
24:25Inshallah, if everything goes well
24:27by then, we will have to be
24:29quite proud of what Morocco
24:31has achieved so far
24:33and very proud once the camp is over
24:35with, we hope, a sacred home.
24:37For the first time
24:39Morocco has the ability
24:41to offer a base camp
24:43to each of the selections
24:45for the Cannes.
24:47A new positive sign
24:49for the kingdom
24:51in order to prepare perfectly
24:53the organization of the World Cup.
24:55What do you think?
24:57As I said,
24:59these are signs that are not wrong.
25:01Today, Morocco is ready
25:03at all levels.
25:05Maybe a little more
25:07at the sporting level.
25:09But as I said earlier,
25:11at the infrastructure level,
25:13we have nothing to envy
25:15to the big countries
25:17who organized competitions like this.
25:19To be able to offer a base camp
25:21to each of the participating teams
25:23is something we've never seen
25:25in the history of the Cannes.
25:27Knowing that it's a Cannes at 24.
25:29It's not the Cannes of those teams
25:31back in the day
25:33where it was a little easier
25:35to accommodate everyone.
25:37Today, you have eight more teams
25:39and you have to be armed
25:41to succeed.
25:43Today, having this ability
25:45to do it is a luxury.
25:47These are people who have worked.
25:49These are people who have followed
25:51the directives of His Majesty the King.
25:53These are people who have applied
25:55to the letter.
25:57What is happening today
25:59is not by chance.
26:01They have applied to the letter
26:03a program.
26:05Today, we are reaping the fruits.
26:07As I said,
26:09we are reaping the fruits.
26:11But everything that is done
26:13and everything that will be done
26:15during and after
26:17is something to be proud of.
26:19As you say,
26:21accommodating so many nations
26:23in the biggest deluxe
26:25and allowing them to prepare
26:27the football match
26:29and focus solely on football
26:31without worrying about their safety,
26:33their housing,
26:35their quality of life
26:37is a luxury that
26:39they deserve.
26:43The African football
26:45will enter a new era
26:47with the launch of
26:49a union of African clubs
26:51who will put their suitcases
26:53in the kingdom.
26:55Can you say that this is
26:57a new victory for the federation
26:59that imposes its role
27:01more heavily on African football?
27:03Today, football
27:05is a failure.
27:06But Akaf also needs
27:08to know how to put their feet
27:10and move them when necessary.
27:12In relation to clubs,
27:14in relation to unions,
27:16if it is to strengthen African football,
27:18why not?
27:20Morocco will welcome
27:22everything that is needed
27:24to advance African football.
27:26As the president of the federation
27:28said this morning
27:30when he arrived at the airport
27:32in Salé,
27:34Morocco is ready to advance football.
27:36I want Morocco to be supported
27:38by people who really have
27:40the same intention
27:42to advance football.
27:44Because Morocco alone
27:46cannot pull the boat
27:48of African football,
27:50it will not pull
27:52African football alone up.
27:54Everyone must be united
27:56behind Morocco,
27:58behind the projects
28:00that are coming.
