00:00Hello and welcome to Mediain TV. Thank you for joining us for a new newscast. Here are the headlines.
00:09A new blow from the Judicial Investigation Office. 12 individuals who lent money to Daesh have been arrested simultaneously in several Moroccan cities.
00:22We will then go to Marrakech for the second day of the World Ministerial Conference on Road Safety.
00:29What are the issues and debates organized during this meeting?
00:32Correspondence to follow in this newscast.
00:38The second phase of the truce between Israel and Hamas continues.
00:42The Palestinian movement said yesterday that it would return the bodies of four hostages to Israel tomorrow and would release six living captives next Saturday.
00:55The Judicial Investigation Office has just announced the failure of an extremely dangerous terrorist plan aimed at instigating and directly inciting Daesh leaders in the Sahel region.
01:06This is what a report from the DGSN-DGST poll shows.
01:09A simultaneous intervention has been carried out in several Moroccan cities, including Laayoune, Casablanca, Fes, Taounet, Tangier, Azmour, Gelsif and Temsna.
01:18The imminent terrorist projects set by the Daesh branch to the members of this cell consisted in targeting members of the public forces
01:28who had to be physically attracted, liquidated and their bodies profaned.
01:31Sensitive economic and security facilities were also targeted.
01:35This operation led to the arrest of 12 individuals aged between 18 and 40 who had pledged allegiance to Daesh.
01:45So how to explain the dismantling of this terrorist plan of extreme gravity and which concerns several cities in Morocco?
01:50I suggest you listen to Hassan Saoud's analysis.
01:58It's been a long time since the Sahel, and Africa in general, became the epicenter of international terrorism.
02:10We are no longer in Syria, in Iraq, etc. Terrorism has moved to this region.
02:18And as you said, there is a terrorist command in this region, which is dedicated to so-called external operations.
02:29This gives you an idea of the sophisticated organization of this nebula, which will have to be monitored.
02:39But Morocco has managed so far to prevent these attacks.
02:46And it is a success that will have to be maintained, that will have to be reaffirmed and above all communicated as they do,
02:56because communication will allow the resilience of our population.
03:00And we have to remember that Morocco remains a privileged target for terrorism, whatever its obedience.
03:11And this is a very important element, from my point of view, in security communication.
03:18Direction Marrakech for the 4th edition of the World Ministerial Conference on Road Safety.
03:30More than 100 ministers from all over the world participate in the 4th edition of the World Ministerial Conference on Road Safety.
03:41Morocco is making road safety a strategic project, a statement made yesterday by the head of government at the opening of the works of this meeting.
03:50The kingdom has put in place a series of laws, projects and initiatives for the strategic management of road safety,
03:57as stated by Aziz Hinoj, which mentioned, among other things, the adoption of a new road code and the improvement of road infrastructure.
04:08The international prize for road safety was awarded to the World Health Organization and to the United Nations for Road Safety,
04:15a first edition where the two winners won a prize of 250,000 dollars.
04:20Explanations with Raja Ingo.
04:23For its first edition, the international prize of 500,000 dollars was awarded in ex aequo
04:30to the World Health Organization and to the United Nations for Road Safety.
04:35The two organizations stood out in their efforts to develop prevention strategies and reduce road risks.
04:43Each of the two institutions thus won a prize of 250,000 dollars.
04:49It is a great honor to receive the prize of His Majesty Mohammed VI.
04:56It is the first road safety prize.
04:58It is a recognition of the work we have been doing for two decades
05:03and also an encouragement to continue to do more for road safety in the world.
05:07This distinction will be made once every four years,
05:11on the occasion of the holding of the World Ministerial Conference on Road Safety.
05:16The opening ceremony was also marked by the launch of a commemorative stamp
05:22and a special coin piece dedicated to the 2025 edition.
05:26It symbolizes Morocco's commitment to safer and more sustainable mobility.
05:35Discussions were held on the use of technology and artificial intelligence
05:40in road control and data collection in a targeted and immediate way.
05:45I salute the efforts made by the Kingdom in this regard,
05:48particularly in the launch of the African Observatory dedicated to data collection
05:53related to road safety, because data collection is the basis of all policies.
06:02Under the theme of Commitment for Life,
06:04this international event is marked by the participation of official delegations
06:10led by more than 100 ministers in charge of the transport,
06:14interior, infrastructure and health sectors sectors.
06:18And despite the rise in road accidents,
06:20the Moroccan authorities have managed to reduce the number of fatal accidents
06:24thanks to the implementation of the road map of the NARSA.
06:27Omar Hilal, ambassador to Morocco with the United Nations,
06:30explains the importance of Marrakech's statement on road safety.
06:34I suggest you listen to it.
06:36Road accidents cause 2 to 3 to 5% of the GDP of each country,
06:46in addition to millions of deaths, in addition to hundreds of injuries.
06:51It is also a statement that focuses on, first of all, education,
06:57from school, on awareness, on the imperative to ensure people's safety.
07:04Secondly, it is to strengthen the measures adopted by the states,
07:09making them even more restrictive.
07:11Thirdly, the sharing of experiences between countries,
07:16where there has been a reduction in the number of deaths, accidents and injuries.
07:23And fourthly, it is for the first time that we are focusing on financing,
07:27helping developing countries, because it is very beautiful to adopt a statement,
07:32to adopt commitments from all member countries.
07:36But especially developing countries, if they do not have sufficient financial assistance,
07:43support, technical cooperation, institutional assistance,
07:47it would be difficult for them to implement these measures that are adopted
07:52to ensure people's safety.
07:55Moreover, at the African meeting yesterday,
08:00African countries asked to benefit from the Moroccan experience.
08:04Alhamdulillah, thanks to the high instructions of His Majesty the King Al-Ansar,
08:08to the citizen protection strategy and especially the roadmap.
08:14Morocco has managed to reduce the number of accidents, deaths and injuries,
08:21but it is not enough.
08:23It is necessary to reduce it by half until 2030.
08:28And in 2050, normally, there is a commitment to zero accidents,
08:33zero deaths and zero injuries.
08:35But this requires a lot of effort,
08:37whether in terms of civic education, in terms of state responsibility,
08:43in terms of responsibility of civil society,
08:45which also plays a very important role.
08:48But the fundamental support of the state in the framework of an integrated strategy.
08:55Morocco celebrates its national day of road safety every year,
09:00the opportunity to draw up a report and to closely examine business actions
09:04in order to prevent and fight road accidents.
09:07In Casablanca, the Xbetl Amin school has launched a campaign of awareness
09:11on road safety for the benefit of students.
09:14Younes Madieh and Dina Mreni tell us more.
09:18Children are vulnerable road users and could be exposed to high risk of accidents.
09:23In this sense, the Casablanca Xbetl Amin primary school
09:27has organized theoretical and playful workshops.
09:30The aim is to initiate students into the good practices of road safety
09:34and to sensitize them to the rules of good use of public transport.
09:40As every year, we celebrate the national day of road safety on February 18th.
09:45It is an opportunity for us to sensitize the young public
09:48on the importance of respecting the rules of traffic.
09:52It also allows students to discover through practical workshops
09:56the dangers of the road and the importance of good safety practices.
10:03Several activities and role-playing games have been organized by the pedagogical staff
10:08in order to better sensitize and responsibilize students to the perception of road risks.
10:22I played the role of the traffic police officer
10:25in order to explain to the students the major role he plays
10:28to ensure the safety and comfort of pedestrians and vehicles.
10:33The children were receptive to the signs and instructions of the traffic officer.
10:39On the occasion of the national day of road safety,
10:43various activities have been organized,
10:46such as songs, poems and plays,
10:49in order to make the students aware of their rights and duties as pedestrians.
10:58In the face of an unsatisfactory road situation,
11:01the public authorities aim to achieve the goal of reducing the number of pedestrians
11:06by half due to road accidents by 2026.
11:11To achieve this, drastic measures have been taken to reduce speed
11:15and improve the quality of roads, both in urban and rural areas.
11:22In the face of an unsatisfactory road situation,
11:26the public authorities aim to achieve the goal of reducing the number of pedestrians by half due to road accidents by 2026.
11:34During the official visit of Rashida Dati to Morocco,
11:37several cooperation agreements were signed yesterday in Rabat,
11:40in the cultural field.
11:42Mohamed Mahdi Ben Said and Rashida Dati also signed a declaration of intention
11:47in relation to audiovisual and cinematographic archives.
11:56During a press conference with Mohamed Mahdi Ben Said,
11:59the French Minister of Culture highlighted the excellence of cooperation and partnership relations
12:04between Rabat and Paris and those in several sectors, including the cultural industry.
12:10How does the game become an industry?
12:13How does the game become an asset for a country?
12:16For Morocco, it was a real asset, an economic lever, also a growth lever.
12:21It is the first creative and cultural industry in the world.
12:24It is 186 billion euros in turnover, more than 1.7 billion users,
12:29and so it is an asset for many countries.
12:32Morocco is also a pioneer in this sector of creative and cultural industries.
12:37Moreover, your minister is very committed to this sector,
12:40because in just a few years, this sector has developed a lot and has become very attractive.
12:45It has become attractive for young Moroccans, but it has also become attractive for young foreigners,
12:50because we find on this campus and in this place, in this university,
12:54it is enough to ask the students, many students of foreign nationalities.
12:59We have a strong partnership with the ISAR institution,
13:03which trains all these young developers, these young creators,
13:06who in a few months will present their finished projects.
13:09And of course, we have already seen the state reports.
13:12We had the opportunity, during the state visit with the French president,
13:16to be able to talk with these students, with these young creators, with developers,
13:21with some, moreover, who had a job, who had a job, who were of a certain age,
13:26and who had launched themselves in this gaming and video sector with success.
13:31And so, the advantage of this sector, you can get involved at any age,
13:35whatever your training, you have to be courageous,
13:39volunteer, and be very creative, and there is a political will behind it.
13:44In Morocco, there is a real political will, of course, to develop this sector.
13:50Moreover, on cultural cooperation, we have since my arrival,
13:54put in place the agreements that we had signed in front of the president of the French Republic
13:59and His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
14:01It is a very personal commitment, I was going to say,
14:04with a real vision, a real ambition of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
14:07And the youth can, indeed, have the pleasure of getting involved in this sector
14:13with concrete results.
14:15And besides, the minister comes very regularly to see the evolution of this project,
14:20of the actions, in a very concrete way.
14:22And besides, he committed himself to come back at the time of the presentation of the projects,
14:26at the end of this training that we have with France.
14:28Besides, we are going to organize, in 2026, meetings that we have called Malraux,
14:33in this area.
14:34Obviously, Moroccans are invited,
14:36and there will also be residencies of creators, of artists, also creative.
14:40And I have committed myself, as I have done throughout this year,
14:43obviously, to facilitate, in particular, the granting of visas,
14:46to allow these residencies of artists,
14:50but also these exchanges between our two countries, between our two youths.
14:54The second phase of the TREV agreement between Hamas and Israel continues.
14:57The Palestinian movement said yesterday that it would restore.
15:00Tomorrow, Israel, the bodies of four hostages, will be released.
15:03On Saturday, the next six living captives, at the same time, the ones who will speak,
15:07will continue on the TREV, which only has one thread.
15:10Discussions so far delayed will begin this week,
15:13assured the Israeli Foreign Minister,
15:15who intends to demand a total demilitarization of Raza.
15:20In the Democratic Republic of Congo,
15:23Kinshasa denounces the inaction and latentism of the UN Security Council,
15:27the day after the capture of Bukavu by the DM-23 group.
15:30My government is outraged that the Security Council, paralyzed by we don't know what disease,
15:35cannot be able to speak out, despite the seriousness of the situation.
15:39This is what the Congolese ambassador announced in a statement.
15:42If the inaction and latentism of the UN Security Council are denounced by Kinshasa,
15:46then why did the Security Council not speak out?
15:49Elements of the answers with Bakary Samp.
15:51Anyway, even during the emergency meeting of the Security Council,
15:56at the beginning of the crisis in Goma,
15:58the Security Council was not able to speak out.
16:01The Security Council was not able to speak out.
16:03It was not able to speak out.
16:05It was not able to speak out.
16:07During the emergency meeting of the Security Council,
16:10at the beginning of the crisis in Goma,
16:12and following which even the military governor of North Kivu was killed,
16:18at the front, and other soldiers with many losses,
16:21we saw that, in the rather far-fetched language of diplomacy,
16:25there was no firm condemnation.
16:27France had raised its voice a little,
16:30but we see that the international community is like walking on eggs,
16:34and that we do not dare, at all, in this crisis,
16:37to name things properly,
16:39and that, if we know the demands of Kinshasa,
16:42to want to condemn, for example, Rwanda,
16:44to condemn this support for the M23,
16:48which has now become clear,
16:50it is clear that we can understand
16:52the fact that the RBC has risen up enough diplomatically,
16:58speaking of inertia and inaction of the international community.
17:02And this is exactly what happened recently,
17:05during the last summit of the African Union.
17:08In Tunisia, unemployed PhD students
17:10organized a protest rally
17:12in front of the offices of the Ministry of Higher Education.
17:15These doctors demand the regularization of their situation.
17:18Najwa Bechat from Tunisia tells us more.
17:22Despite years of dedication to studies and research,
17:26Adeline Benthebet, PhD student and researcher,
17:29finds herself in unfavourable conditions
17:32and faced with persistent unemployment.
17:35Adeline decided to break the silence
17:38in the face of what she calls
17:40a social injustice of which she is a victim.
17:43The case of unemployed PhD students in Tunisia
17:46resurfaces.
17:49I have been unemployed for so long
17:51that I have lost count of the number of years
17:54during which I have not worked.
17:56I finished my studies and obtained my doctorate in 2011,
17:59but I am not the only one.
18:01There are those who have spent 20 years or more without work.
18:04Personally, I think the problem
18:06comes from the Ministry of Higher Education,
18:09which has closed the competitions for 4 or 5 sessions,
18:12which has doubled or even tripled the number of PhD students.
18:16It is worth noting that the Ministry
18:18is currently exploiting us
18:20in precarious jobs and occasional working hours.
18:23It is a shame to talk about a PhD student
18:26who does not even have enough money
18:28to buy a cup of coffee.
18:31According to the statistics of the Ministry of Higher Education
18:34and Scientific Research,
18:367,000 PhD students are currently unemployed.
18:40The movement of Tunisian PhD students
18:42excluded from work
18:44observed this Tuesday in Sittine
18:46in front of the Ministry of Higher Education
18:49as a protest
18:51against what it calls
18:53an alteration of the government
18:55in the face of its claims
18:57and its non-reactivity
18:59regarding the recruitment of unemployed PhD students.
19:04Today, there are 7,000 unemployed PhD students.
19:07In this demonstration,
19:09we renew our request to the executive power
19:12to accelerate the publication of decrees
19:15after 5,000 positions have been identified
19:18to employ PhD researchers
19:20in various ministries,
19:22including the Ministry of Higher Education
19:24and in all research laboratories.
19:27We also demand a reform
19:29of the recruitment methods
19:31which are still subject
19:33to favouritism in the contests.
19:37PhD researchers point out
19:39the administrative slowness
19:41within the Ministry.
19:43They themselves call for an urgent revision
19:46of the government's decrees
19:48to facilitate their professional integration.
19:51President Kays Saïd
19:53has asked for a quick resolution
19:55of the matter recently.
20:00For some time now,
20:02a wave of cold has been falling on Senegal,
20:04a situation that Senegalese people
20:06have a hard time dealing with.
20:08How to explain this phenomenon?
20:10Our reporters Aïchata Diakite and Moussa N'Diir
20:12asked experts from the National Aviation
20:14and Meteorology Department.
20:18A wave of cold has been falling on Senegal,
20:21a situation that Senegalese people
20:23have a hard time dealing with.
20:31It's too cold.
20:33I thought by noon
20:35there would be a bit of sun.
20:37That's why I didn't wear a sweater
20:39to see the cold.
20:41But it's really cold in Dakar.
20:43It feels like we're in Europe.
20:45It's very cold.
20:47Especially for us
20:49who are in our third year.
20:51However, from the point of view
20:53of the experts,
20:55this wave of cold
20:57is not as intense.
20:59It's just getting longer.
21:01There are three to four months
21:03of cold.
21:05The cold started in November,
21:07December, January,
21:09towards the beginning of February.
21:11This is a situation
21:13that used to occur in Senegal.
21:15As I said,
21:17it's not an extreme cold
21:19compared to what we recorded
21:21in the past years.
21:23It was a cold that was marked.
21:25But it tickles the Senegalese
21:27because we stayed for three to four years
21:29without having this kind of cold.
21:31To deal with this cold,
21:33some have chosen sports
21:35to get a feeling of warmth.
21:37But the situation is more complicated
21:39for the elderly.
21:41When I have time,
21:43I go to the beach
21:45to jog
21:47in order to
21:49recover.
21:53We face
21:55rheumatism
21:57and body aches, etc.
21:59In Senegal,
22:01the initial period of cold
22:03is usually from early December
22:05to late January.
22:07It will continue until March
22:09according to weather forecasters.
22:11A temperature
22:13that changes during the day
22:15with a rise in the middle of the day
22:17to fall again at night
22:19with coolness throughout the territory.
22:23This is the end of this news.
22:27Stay with us.
22:29The news continues on Mediain TV.
