00:00We are still together on Mediantv, thank you for staying loyal to us, here are the titles
00:19of your day.
00:20They were about to launch attacks of extreme violence in Morocco.
00:25Individuals who have pledged allegiance to Daesh have been arrested simultaneously today
00:30in several cities of the kingdom.
00:32Back on this new blow from the Central Office of Judicial Investigation in a few moments.
00:39The fragile tribe in Gaza still holds.
00:42Moreover, discussions on the terms of its second phase should resume this week.
00:47Meanwhile, Hamas reassures and assures that it will release during this step all the
00:54hostages still captive in the Gaza Strip.
00:59Irritated by Donald Trump's remarks, which seem to attribute to Kiev the responsibility
01:03of the conflict in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky estimates that his American counterpart
01:09lives, I quote, in a space of Russian disinformation.
01:13We start this edition in the kingdom where a terrorist plan commanded by a top leader
01:22of the Daesh branch in the Sahel was failed by the Central Office of Judicial Investigation.
01:28Twelve individuals affiliated to Daesh were charged with carrying out attacks of extreme
01:33violence in the kingdom.
01:35They were all arrested today during a simultaneous intervention carried out in several cities
01:41of the kingdom.
01:42Dina Amredi.
01:43Thanks to a large-scale security operation, the Central Office of Judicial Investigation
01:51neutralized this Wednesday an important terrorist cell affiliated to Daesh.
01:56This cell prepared attacks of extreme gravity on Moroccan soil.
02:01Twelve suspects, aged 18 to 40, were arrested in several cities, such as Lyon, Casablanca,
02:08Fez, Tewnet, Tangier, Es Mour, Gersif, Oulet Seiman and Temsna.
02:14Intervention operations also allowed to seize explosives as well as an arsenal of weapons.
02:20These operations were carried out under the supervision of the special forces of the
02:25DGST, which applied the security protocol related to dangerous terrorist threats.
02:31Teams of elite shooters were deployed on the different places of intervention.
02:37The objective is to dispel any potential danger or form of violent resistance.
02:42Assault teams using climbing techniques were deployed, as well as technicians
02:49specialized in the detection of explosives.
02:52Simultaneously, police officers of the BCIJ proceeded to evacuate the inhabitants of the
02:58apartments located near the places of intervention, in order to guarantee and preserve their security.
03:04The information collected by the intelligence services revealed the existence of the cell
03:11operating clandestinely and in direct connection with a high-ranking Daesh official operating
03:16in the Sahel African region.
03:18This figure of the terrorist organization had entrusted to the members of the cell the mission
03:24to carry out attacks targeting sensitive economic and security facilities,
03:30as well as members of the public forces.
03:32The investigation continues in order to review all the branches of this network and to identify
03:38any local or international complicity.
03:42For Hassan Saoud, an expert in security and strategy, the Moroccan law enforcement
03:48have carried out an operation to the extent of eliminating the passage to the act of these
03:53terrorists, very advanced in the execution of their plans.
03:56Together, we listen to him.
03:58It's true, it's unprecedented.
04:0112 terrorists, 10 geographical points across the Moroccan territory.
04:07It's an unprecedented scale.
04:11And it's a successful operation to the extent that the puzzle has been dismantled.
04:19Secondly, the age, of course, of the interrogations is important.
04:27It goes from 18 to 40 years old.
04:30And so it brings us to the age of these terrorist apprentices.
04:35It should also be noted that this operation was in a very advanced phase of preparation.
04:42And so the intervention took place before the passage to the act, since all the operations
04:52in advance, the recognition of the targets, the timing of the routes, all the explosive
05:01material, cutting that has been discovered, attests that it is a cell that was in a very
05:09advanced phase.
05:11There was only the passage to the act.
05:14At the beginning of the week, Morocco was brilliantly elected to the presidency of the
05:20Human Rights Advisory Committee in the person of Nadia Amal Bernoussi, who gave us the
05:27honour of accepting our invitation tonight.
05:31Nadia Amal Bernoussi, you are live from Geneva.
05:34Good evening and congratulations again for your election at the head of this committee.
05:40Thank you very much and thank you for inviting me.
05:43So, an election that testifies, doesn't it, to the credibility of Morocco within the
05:50international community?
05:53It is an election that testifies to the confidence that Morocco has in the international community,
06:01to its perception as a pole of stability, a pole of balance, as a country that advances
06:11democratically while maintaining its authenticity, and a country that advances especially in
06:20a close environment that is disturbed and regressive.
06:25This election must also be connected with the democratic advances that have been made
06:35in Morocco under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty Mohamed VI, whether in the
06:41field of human rights, women's rights, the status of migrants, disabled people, what
06:48we call the social state, and all these democratic advances.
06:52They are known, of course, in Morocco, they are led in Morocco, but they are also known
06:57by the international community.
06:59And I have been on this committee since 2020.
07:03So, with my expert colleagues, we had the time several times to show how far Morocco
07:13is moving forward.
07:14And this is not a propagandist attitude, it is an attitude of an observer of the social
07:22and political scene in Morocco.
07:25And this credibility and this confidence that Morocco has at the level of the international
07:37community, we want to prove it.
07:39The fact that in 2024, our ambassador Omar Zinebel was elected with a very large score,
07:46and we also want to prove that almost all human rights treaties are in place.
07:53So, we find Moroccan experts at the level of the Torture Committee, at the level of the
08:00Economic and Social Committee, etc.
08:01So, Moroccan experts are in multilateralism and are doing a good job.
08:11Moroccan experts are doing a good job in respect of human rights.
08:18Nadia Amal Bernoussi, the Consultative Committee of the Council of Human Rights, examines
08:24the requests from the CDH resolutions.
08:28What kind of file do you deal with?
08:32I would also like to talk about our procedure, how we work.
08:36At the level of the Consultative Committee of the Council of Human Rights, obviously
08:43we have ideas, we have projects, we want to work on particular themes.
08:48But in fact, it is still necessary that these themes are accepted by the Council of Human Rights,
08:53of which we are a subsidiary body.
08:55So, in the end, we are the think tank of the Council of Human Rights.
09:00So, the Council of Human Rights, either we want to work on issues, or it is the Council
09:07that mandates us on specific issues on which it would like us to move forward.
09:12So, as soon as we have a resolution, that means we have a mandate.
09:16As soon as we have a mandate, we form a working group, a drafting group, with a rapporteur
09:21and a president.
09:22We begin to take a participatory approach with stakeholders and stakeholders.
09:27And then we will produce a project that will be communicated and delivered to the Council
09:34of Human Rights.
09:35This is how we work.
09:36What are the themes we are working on at the moment?
09:40These are themes of hot news.
09:43First, there is the question of gender equality and gender parity.
09:47There is also the question of people with specific needs.
09:51We are currently working on artificial intelligence and good governance.
09:57We are also working on new technologies in the military field and their impact on human rights.
10:03We are working on violence based on gender facilitated by technology and its impact on
10:11women and girls.
10:14We are also working on misinformation and its impact on human rights.
10:23We are also working on plastic pollution and its impact on human rights.
10:30So, you see that we have a very intense program and for each program there is a rapporteur
10:39and a president.
10:42And as president, my role is to guide this committee, to represent it with the other
10:59bodies and to ensure that the debates take place in a serene and constructive climate.
11:09So, the violence based on gender, you mentioned it a few moments ago, is today facilitated
11:16or fueled by digital violence, especially on the web, with disastrous consequences
11:23on women and girls.
11:25How does the CCDH intend to deal with this?
11:30Well, listen, we worked this afternoon, it was extremely interesting, with a panel.
11:36There were representatives from the High Commissioner for Human Rights and representatives from
11:40associations that also work on gender.
11:43They said the following thing.
11:45Artificial intelligence, of course, is a progress.
11:48It is something very important.
11:51But artificial intelligence, when it is used in a malicious way, can lead to serious
11:57harm and harm to fundamental rights.
12:00And I give an example like this.
12:04Video editing, for example.
12:07We can have video editing in states where opponents are not considered, that is,
12:14in non-democratic states.
12:16We can ruin political careers by doing, by elaborating, by making editing that leads
12:25to impudence.
12:27For example.
12:29So, artificial intelligence used against gender also has bias in what is called
12:36intersectionality.
12:38That is to say that artificial intelligence, when it can have a bias on a woman's private
12:45life, but when it is a refugee, when it is a migrant, when it is a racialized person,
12:54etc.
12:55That is to say that the nuisance is multiplied and quintupled.
13:00And so it is more and more serious, the harm is more and more serious.
13:05This afternoon, we thought about some recommendations.
13:09How to do it?
13:11We did not plan it, but we thought about it together during this discussion this afternoon
13:17to try to see what we can recommend so that artificial intelligence, which is a progress
13:24for humanity, is not at the same time an obstacle and a very serious risk for women's
13:32and girls' rights.
13:34So we asked ourselves the question of whether the law on violence speaks of gender-based
13:42violence facilitated by information technologies.
13:46We asked ourselves the question of who is responsible in case we also need to control
13:52platforms.
13:53Don't we need a regulator at the level of human rights and gender-based violence?
14:01We thought about the legal process.
14:04We thought about the redemption of accounts.
14:07All of this is part of what we call a participatory approach.
14:12Jorgen Habermas would talk about what we call the deliberative approach, because
14:18from deliberation comes light.
14:21But at the same time, I concluded this afternoon that I presided by saying that we really
14:28need to pay attention, having a thought for Kundera, to this unsustainable autonomy of
14:37artificial intelligence.
14:39It has autonomy, but we should be able to frame this autonomy through tools of promotion,
14:50of protection, to protect human rights and protect women and girls.
14:57Nadia Amal Bernoussi, thank you for all these details.
15:01Thank you for answering our questions.
15:04You're welcome.
15:06Good evening.
15:08Likewise.
15:09In the rest of the news, the two camps are mutually accused of having violated it, but
15:16the fragile truce in Gaza still holds.
15:18Moreover, discussions on the terms of its second phase should resume this week.
15:23Meanwhile, Hamas is reassured.
15:25The Palestinian movement assures that it will release during this stage, in one go, all
15:30the hostages still captive in the Gaza Strip.
15:33As of tomorrow, it intends to restore four deputies in exchange for the release planned
15:38on Saturday of Palestinians held by Israel, in accordance with the Treaty of Tres.
15:46And in this context, the Egyptian president and the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez,
15:50have once again affirmed today their total rejection of the American plan, consisting
15:55of moving the Gazans to Egypt and Jordan, in visit to Madrid.
16:02Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi called on the international community to oppose this proposal of the
16:07American president.
16:11The Israeli army claims to have targeted members of Hezbollah in the south of Lebanon
16:17in a strike on the eve of the withdrawal of its soldiers from most of the border area,
16:22while the ceasefire was initially planned for Israel to complete its total withdrawal
16:27from the south of Lebanon, where only the Lebanese army and the UN Blue Helmets should
16:33be deployed.
16:37A meeting described as positive by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
16:42A few hours after the end of the discussions between the American and Russian delegations
16:48in Riyadh, President Trump has declared himself, since his visit to Florida, much more confident
16:54in the possibility of putting an end to the war in Ukraine.
16:58The American president, however, seemed to attribute to Kiev the responsibility of the
17:03conflict, accusing Volodymyr Zelensky of being, I quote, a dictator without elections,
17:08taking into account the Kremlin's speech, Ukraine having not organized the presidential
17:14scrutiny last year because of the war.
17:18Words that apparently did not please the Ukrainian president, who believes that his American
17:24counterpart lives, I quote, in a space of Russian disinformation.
17:28This verbal joke takes place while the US President's emissary for Ukraine, Kate Kellogg,
17:34has arrived in Kiev today with the intention of listening to the concerns of the Ukrainians,
17:39a weapon exchange that fears a rupture between Kiev and Washington at a time when the United
17:44States has started direct talks with Moscow.
17:50And in this context, the French president continues his consultations with his European
17:55partners to find a common position on Ukraine and the collective defense of the old continent
18:02After a mini-informal summit on Monday, he has gathered today 19 heads of state and
18:07governments of EU or NATO member countries in a videoconference.
18:12Emmanuel Macron promised to meet with the 27 by the end of the week.
18:20Back in the kingdom and we take the direction of Marrakech, which has since yesterday become
18:25the world capital of road safety.
18:32Welcome to the 4th World Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, in the field in which Morocco
18:39asserts itself as a key player and this is only the beginning.
18:43Adoption of new road codes, improvement of infrastructure, the kingdom intends to accelerate
18:48the pace in this sector to put an end to the hecatomb on the roads, a phenomenon that affects
18:53several countries around the world.
18:57And for this second day, the commitment of the private sector was at the heart of the
19:02discussions, in particular its contribution to the safety of transport and mobility.
19:07The Renault group has in this context, for free, made available to the world automobile
19:12industry a specific license, the Fireman Access, a safety device and a license for all
19:20electric vehicles.
19:22To learn a little more about this device, I propose to listen to Fabrice Cambolive, CEO
19:27of the Renault brand and Mohamed Bachiri, General Director of Renault Group Maroc, who
19:32returns for his part on the commitments of the group in the kingdom in terms of road
19:37safety.
19:38Together we listen to them on the microphone of our special envoy on site, Nadia Packer.
19:44It is a major social issue and we at Renault, in the end, we think about it every day because
19:49it is a vital issue, both for our customers and for society.
19:53So we look at innovation through four elements.
19:56How to prevent accidents?
19:58How to correct accidents just before the crash with driving aids?
20:02How to protect?
20:03How to prevent accidents?
20:05How to prevent accidents?
20:07How to prevent accidents?
20:09How to protect?
20:11How to save?
20:13How to protect?
20:15How to save?
20:17On this last point, I think that what is essential is to be able to work with the
20:23rescuers and firefighters.
20:25This is what we have done for years now and this has allowed us to focus on major
20:30innovations to help our users in the event of a crash.
20:34our users in the event of a crash.
20:37I'm going to give you an important example of innovation.
20:40It's what we call the Fireman Access.
20:43It's the ability for firefighters
20:45to extinguish the battery fires of electric vehicles
20:48in much less time than with a normal solution.
20:51So how does it work?
20:52In fact, just the batteries have protected areas with pads
20:58that allow the direct access of the firefighters' spears
21:00to flood the battery in record time,
21:03around 10 minutes, with much less water,
21:05and thus secure the vehicle much faster
21:08so that the firefighters can do their job afterwards.
21:10The risk of road safety is a very important risk for us in Morocco,
21:14but also at the group level, due to our industrial activities.
21:20In Morocco, we have launched a road safety program since 2015
21:26called Skace School,
21:29in favor of primary and public schools students.
21:32In the northern region, but also in the region of Kaza,
21:36in relation to our territorial-industrial anchorage.
21:39We have launched a program to raise awareness
21:43of the issues related to road safety.
21:46It's a program that reaches, on average,
21:4810,000 students per year in Tangier and Casablanca.
21:53We are in the 10th year,
21:54so there are about 100,000 students
21:56who have benefited from this awareness program.
22:00This program will go beyond students.
22:01The students are ambassadors to their families,
22:05in terms of awareness.
22:07This is very important for all of us.
22:10This morning, in our booth,
22:13the group presented 12 major innovations
22:15in relation to electric vehicles,
22:18which is an important issue in terms of electrification
22:22and the durability of cars over the long term.
22:27The group is committed to these issues.
22:32We are also committed to these issues
22:34because Morocco is very important to us.
22:38We are a major industrial actor in the Kingdom of Morocco.
22:41We have an obligation to support these issues with the authorities.
22:46What I forgot to say earlier
22:48is that the program we launched, Skace School,
22:51was labeled a few years ago by NARSA.
22:54NARSA is our road safety partner.
22:57We have a quality of work and of dialogue with them
23:01that allows us to move forward together for the common good.
23:05The day before, Morocco celebrated its national road safety day,
23:09a day marked by a white stone in Casablanca,
23:12more precisely at the Skace School in Amin.
23:15On the spot, a campaign of awareness was launched for the benefit of students.
23:20This is a report by Younes Maziar and Inam Rimi.
23:24Children are vulnerable road users
23:27and could be exposed to high risk of accidents.
23:30In this sense, Casablanca's Kasbat El Amin Primary School
23:34has organized theoretical and playful workshops.
23:37The aim is to initiate students into the good practices of road safety
23:41and to raise awareness of the rules of good use of public transport.
23:46As every year, we celebrate the national road safety day on February 18th.
23:52It is an opportunity for us to raise awareness among young people
23:55about the importance of respecting traffic rules.
23:59It also allows students to discover, through practical workshops,
24:03the dangers of the road and the importance of good safety practices.
24:10Several activities and role-playing games have been organized by the pedagogical staff
24:15in order to better raise awareness and make students responsible
24:19for the perception of road risks.
24:22I played the role of the police officer in order to explain the safety of pedestrians and vehicles.
24:28I played the role of the police officer in order to explain to the students
24:33the major role he plays in ensuring the safety and comfort of pedestrians and vehicles.
24:40The children were receptive to the signs and instructions of the traffic officer.
24:45On the occasion of the national road safety day,
24:50various activities have been organized, such as songs, poems and plays,
24:56in order to make the students aware of their rights and duties as pedestrians.
25:07In the face of an unsatisfactory road situation,
25:10the public authorities aim to reduce by half the deaths caused by road accidents by 2026.
25:18To achieve this, drastic measures have been taken against speeding,
25:23as well as improving the quality of roads, both in urban and rural areas.
25:28Canada's Transport and Safety Office
25:38Headed by the Canada's Transport and Safety Office,
25:42the investigation began yesterday at the Toronto Airport
25:45to understand why a Delta Air Lines aircraft hit the Pamphlet tarmac the day before
25:52before it caught fire and turned over.
25:55Despite the fireball and the thick black smoke that once invaded the aircraft,
26:01none of the 80 people on board lost their lives.
26:05A total of 21 people were injured in the accident,
26:08but only two of them were still hospitalized.
26:14This concludes our report.
26:18We will be back shortly with more news.
