00:00A strong Moroccan delegation led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, is taking
00:28part in Addis Abeba, at the meeting of the Council of Peace and Security of the IAEA.
00:32At the heart of the discussions, the examination of the situation in Sudan and in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
00:37Details in a few moments.
00:41In Germany, the 71st Munich Conference on Security opened.
00:46A meeting that takes place in a moving geopolitical context, marked in particular by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the situation in the Middle East.
00:53The US Vice President assured yesterday that Washington was looking for a lasting peace in Ukraine.
01:01Gilles Devence met with Volodymyr Zelensky as part of the Munich Security Conference in Germany.
01:08We meet again right now for the development.
01:14Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, we open this news with this strong Moroccan delegation led by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita.
01:22Who is taking part in Addis Abeba, at the meeting of the Council of Peace and Security of the IAEA.
01:28Dedicated to the examination of the situation in Sudan and in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
01:33Meeting also marked by the presence of the Secretary General of the UN, Antonio Gutiérrez.
01:39Who denounced the influx of weapons in Sudan, ravaged by a civil war since April 2023.
01:45Special envoy from Média TV to Addis Abeba, Oumémas Bila, gives us the point.
01:50The meeting of the Council of Peace and Security took place right here, at the seat of the African Union in Addis Abeba.
01:58With the participation of a strong Moroccan delegation, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs and African Cooperation.
02:06And Moroccans living abroad, Nasser Bourita.
02:09And the ambassador, a permanent representative of Morocco, within the African Union, Mohamed Harouchi.
02:15Moreover, it is a meeting that takes place in a particularly tense context.
02:20With major political and humanitarian issues, which weigh on the stability of several African regions.
02:27We are talking about the escalation of the conflict in the east of the RDC.
02:31One of the main concerns of African leaders.
02:35Since the intensification of this conflict may lead to a regional war.
02:40Another point discussed during this meeting, the civil war that ravages Sudan since April 2023.
02:47This internal conflict has already caused, as you know very well, tens of thousands of deaths.
02:53And forced more than 11 million people to flee their homes.
02:57Causing the worst crisis in the world.
03:01Sudan, plunged in humanitarian chaos, is another point of friction that shakes the African continent.
03:09With devastating consequences, not only for the country, but also for its neighbors.
03:16And precisely in this sense, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres.
03:22Who took part in this meeting, called the Sudanese rival forces.
03:27Guterres stopped the hostilities during Ramadan.
03:30The UN chief also reminded that this crisis requires urgent and sustained attention.
03:37On the part of the African Union and the international community in a broad sense.
03:47Rabat City hosted yesterday the official launch of the National Portal of Digital Services.
03:53This portal will centralize, classify and facilitate the access of users to the various public services available online.
04:01Abdelmoula Boukhraïs and Kamal Gounaïm for the explanations in this story by Alaa Ben Ali.
04:07As part of the implementation of the axes of the Morocco Digital Strategy 2030.
04:12The work of the digital administration meeting started this Friday in the capital Rabat.
04:18Several objectives and goals have been mentioned during the participants' interventions.
04:23Fluidify procedures, reduce delays, guarantee transparency, facilitate accessibility and improve the quality of administrative services.
04:35Moroccan citizens need these services and digital administration.
04:39The latter is important because it will allow Moroccans to quickly recover the papers they need.
04:45Without having to move.
04:46The digital services that we have planned are also intended for citizens with reduced mobility.
04:55This meeting was the opportunity to announce the official launch of the National Portal of Digital Services, IDARATI.
05:01An administrative document interface made available to citizens.
05:06Who have access to some 600 services in a simple, transparent and secure way.
05:13This portal is a unified platform that simplifies access to administrative services for citizens.
05:21We have worked with all ministries and public institutions while respecting international standards.
05:28This platform has been launched and will be improved even more in the future.
05:33And other options will be added in addition to the integration of artificial intelligence.
05:38For a better simplification of administrative procedures.
05:46Among the objectives of this novelty is to improve the ranking of Morocco on the development index of IGOV.
05:52By moving to the first position in Africa.
05:54The kingdom is currently 11th and is 50th in the world.
05:59Instead of the current 100th rank by 2030.
06:05Could the IDARATI platform contribute concretely to digitizing and modernizing public services as well?
06:12Mohamed Ben Boubker, CEO of Arabet Holdings, tells us more.
06:20First of all, it is a great day to have equipped Morocco with a central portal that centralizes the totality of public services.
06:29This is a phase in the Morocco 2030 strategy.
06:34It converges the services of the public and the dynamics of the private sector to the services of citizens.
06:39The idea of a platform is to simplify, with simplicity, less travel, more access to content.
06:48Accessibility, as you said, and a lot of transparency to establish trust with citizens and public services.
06:55The platform is there to be a single point of contact.
06:59A unique point of entry that we will develop over time.
07:03A reflex to come back and access this platform to find what we are looking for as a approach.
07:09Or there to initiate an online service operation.
07:13Let's go to the Middle East, where Hamas and Israel must proceed today to the 6th Israeli hostage exchange
07:20against Palestinian detainees in favor of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, which broke the breaking point this week.
07:27The release of three Israelis, all binationals, must intervene,
07:32while US Secretary of State Mario Rubio is expected this Saturday in Israel
07:39for scheduled interviews on Sunday.
07:42Meanwhile, Qatar, the United States and Egypt, mediators in this truce, hope to start them next week.
07:49Adora, the continuation of the ceasefire has on its part indicated a source close to negotiations.
07:58In this same dynamic, Riyadh also welcomes on February 20 a summit of five Arab countries
08:05to develop a common response to Donald Trump's plan for Gaza, which announced yesterday a Saudi source.
08:12This summit, which brings together Saudi Arab leaders from Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Jordan,
08:22as well as the Palestinian Authority, must examine in depth the American plan and develop an Arab response to indicate this same source.
08:32The meeting in Riyadh should highlight the rejection of a move from the Gaza Strip and their transfer out of this territory.
08:42Let's stay in Riyadh with Saudi Arabia, which indicated yesterday to rejoice at the idea of welcoming a meeting
08:49between President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
08:52The kingdom congratulates itself on holding this summit in Saudi Arabia
08:57and reaffirms its continued efforts to achieve a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine,
09:03indicated in a statement by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
09:07Donald Trump had announced that he would meet Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia shortly after a telephone exchange
09:15between the two leaders, where they agreed to immediately engage in negotiations to end the war in Ukraine.
09:22During this time, the US Vice President, Julie Evans, assured yesterday that Washington was looking for a lasting peace in Ukraine
09:31during its first meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, who estimated that his country would have little chance of surviving without the support of the United States.
09:42These discussions between the head of the Ukrainian state and the envoy of Donald Trump were highly anticipated by Kiev
09:48after the shock wave that caused the telephone conversation between the White House host and Vladimir Putin.
09:55Little detail was also leaked about these exchanges, which took place on the eve of the conference on security in Munich, Germany.
10:06In Germany, the 71st Munich conference on security was held yesterday.
10:13This meeting took place in a geopolitical context marked by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the situation in the Middle East.
10:26The exchanges between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to start negotiations on Ukraine
10:31even before the opening of the Munich conference on security have clearly changed the game.
10:37The European allies and the Ukrainian president took advantage of the conference to try to get their voices heard on a possible peace plan.
10:49We do not need a mediation between Ukraine and Russia.
10:53We need, however, the support of a powerful country, the United States, the support of President Donald Trump.
11:00We need him to be on our side.
11:03The peace agreement we aspire to is the lasting end of the war.
11:07And it is the American president and the European leaders who are able to put an end to this war.
11:13We need guarantees of clear and solid security so that this war ceases once and for all.
11:22Another hot topic of this conference, the war in Gaza.
11:26The call for a humanitarian ceasefire and serious negotiations have been reiterated,
11:31but the conference did not come up with specific proposals or concrete resolutions.
11:43As I did in Paris, I will continue to discuss here with the other key players
11:48so that the ceasefire that we have now obtained must enter its second phase in Gaza
11:53so that all hostages can return home.
11:55We will discuss intensively these second and third phases here in Munich.
12:00We have already discussed it intensively because it is clear that the situation,
12:04in particular that of the civilian population in Gaza,
12:07depends essentially on the arrival of additional humanitarian aid.
12:12And here too, this shows how important the diplomatic relations of the last three years have been.
12:18Let us be unanimous in saying clearly that we are all ready for reconstruction.
12:22It is in our interest to all.
12:24But this also means that reconstruction can only take place within the framework of international law.
12:29And this means that there must be no expulsion or evacuation from Gaza.
12:38The conference has also looked at the issue of illegal immigration,
12:42a major challenge for Europe.
12:44With constant increasing flows of migrants,
12:47US Vice President J.D. Evans addressed the subject by underlining
12:51that this is the most urgent crisis for European nations.
13:00Of all the challenges that Europe is facing,
13:02I believe that mass migration is the most urgent problem to face today.
13:09Nearly one in five people came from abroad to settle in Germany.
13:13This is a historical record.
13:15This is also the case in the United States.
13:17No voter on this continent has gone to the polls
13:20to open the vans to millions of uncontrolled immigrants.
13:23We must change our migration policy,
13:26because Europeans have dreams and fear for their future,
13:29and their children.
13:31And they are right.
13:38The next few days of the conference are crucial
13:41to determine whether concrete resolutions can emerge
13:44in the face of the war in Ukraine and Gaza,
13:46and the problem of immigration.
13:48World leaders will have to find compromises and resolutions,
13:51especially to navigate in an increasingly polarized and uncertain environment.
13:58The news is also this attack on the Bélier car in Munich.
14:02The author, presumed to have acted for religious reasons,
14:06announced the authorities following a drama
14:09that is polarizing the election campaign in Germany.
14:13The latest report states that 36 people were injured.
14:16The brutality of this act is overwhelming.
14:19We are left without a voice to declare the head of the German state,
14:22Frank-Walter Steinmeier,
14:24the man arrested after driving a vehicle
14:28on the rally of a union of Verdict Services,
14:33also in Munich, was able to be heard.
14:39Direction of the Democratic Republic of Congo,
14:41the M23 allied to the Rwandan troops
14:45seized this Friday the Bokavu airport,
14:49east of the RDC,
14:51according to security and humanitarian sources.
14:53The M23 entered almost without resistance
14:56in the town of Kavumu,
14:58which houses the airport,
15:00located about 30 km from Bokavu,
15:03provincial capital.
15:05The president of the African Union,
15:07Fakim Mohamed,
15:09called yesterday to observe a ceasefire.
15:14In Libya, the bodies of 28 migrants
15:16originating from sub-Saharan Africa
15:18were found in a municipal pit
15:21near the illegal detention center
15:23in the Koufra region,
15:25in the far south-east.
15:27These bodies were found
15:29in an operation of security forces
15:31in this center held by a network
15:33of human traffickers.
15:35Dina Amrini for the details.
15:39Macabre discovery in Libya.
15:41In the region of Koufra,
15:43in the far south-east of the country,
15:4528 bodies of sub-Saharan migrants
15:47were found buried
15:49near an illegal detention center.
15:51According to the office of the Libyan prosecutor,
15:54this is a collective murder
15:56committed by a gang of human traffickers
15:58who tortured migrants.
16:00The gang operated in a detention camp
16:02under the control of the forces
16:04of Marshal Haftar.
16:14Here, in this place located
16:16in the north-east of the city of Koufra,
16:18in the heart of the Libyan desert,
16:20is the site where the bodies
16:22of sub-Saharan migrants were found,
16:24as well as tombs.
16:26There were about 55 tombs
16:28in this cemetery.
16:30Today, we are here with a specialized team
16:32of emergency medical services
16:34and a team of criminal investigations
16:36to recover these bodies, examine them
16:38and bury them again according to
16:40the practices of Islam.
16:44Here, all kinds of torture
16:46and degrading and inhuman acts
16:48have been practiced.
16:51According to the International Organization
16:53for Migration, the bodies found
16:55were wounded by bullets.
16:57Let us recall that last January,
16:59the office of the Libyan prosecutor
17:01ordered the incarceration
17:03of three members of a criminal gang
17:05accused of torture
17:07against more than 260
17:09sub-Saharan migrants in an irregular situation.
17:11Since the fall of
17:13Muammar Gaddafi in 2011,
17:15Libya has become a transit point
17:17for migrants fleeing
17:19conflicts or poverty to join
17:21Europe by taking dangerous routes.
17:26On the occasion of the sacred month of Ramadan,
17:28Morocco will resume
17:30the legal GMT hour
17:32from Sunday, February 23, 2025
17:34at 3 a.m.
17:36delaying the hour of 68 minutes.
17:38This is indicated
17:40by the Ministry of Digital Transition
17:42and Administration Reform.
17:44The return to GMT plus 1
17:46will be operated
17:48after the end of the blessed month of Ramadan
17:50on Sunday, April 6, 2025

17:56And on the occasion of the sacred month of Ramadan,
17:58the commercialization
18:00of national and Arab dates
18:02in wholesale markets
18:04has met a strong demand
18:06from consumers as well as merchants.
18:08Younes Mazzi and Dina Brini
18:10have visited the market
18:12of Dermila in Casablanca.
18:16For the past few days,
18:18dates have been exposed
18:20in the famous market of dates
18:22Dermila in Casablanca.
18:24This wholesale market
18:26is a privileged destination
18:28for Casablanca customers
18:30and even for other cities
18:32who want to stock up on dates
18:34in bulk or in detail.
18:36Among the colorful boxes
18:38containing the sacred treasures
18:40of dates,
18:42the commercial activity
18:44is considerably increasing
18:46in the approach of Ramadan.
18:48The market offers
18:50a wide variety of quality dates.
18:52Despite a slight increase
18:54in prices due to various factors,
18:56such as the increase
18:58in maritime freight costs
19:00and a local production
19:02affected by climate change,
19:04the local production
19:06has experienced
19:08a slight decline
19:10due to the lack of rain.
19:14Despite a slight increase
19:16in prices due to various factors,
19:18such as the increase
19:20in maritime freight costs
19:22and a local production
19:24affected by climate change,
19:26the market remains accessible
19:28and promises a celebration
19:30of Ramadan without obstacles,
19:32according to the sellers.
19:34The dates this year
19:36are of better quality
19:38and the prices are reasonable
19:40for us, the sellers,
19:42as well as for the consumers.
19:44For example,
19:46if I buy the dates at 11 dirham per kilo,
19:48God willing,
19:50the date market will have
19:52a strong influence on consumers
19:54in the approach of Ramadan.
19:56There is a wide variety
19:58of dates between Mjhol,
20:00Fros and Jil.
20:02Due to the decline
20:04in the local production
20:06affected by the lack of rain,
20:08Morocco plans to increase
20:10its national production
20:12to 300,000 tonnes per year by 2030,
20:14by planting 5 million palm trees
20:16This is the end of the contract
20:18between the government
20:20and the Interprofessional National Federation
20:22of the Date Market.
20:26See you next time.
