00:00New information edition on Mediain TV, welcome to the big news of the midday.
00:23The weather in Morocco is still very bad, sometimes heavy rain falls on several provinces.
00:32Ukraine and the United States have started discussions.
00:38In Saudi Arabia, Ukraine proposes a partial ceasefire with Russia.
00:45Paris welcomes this week's consultations aimed at strengthening European defence and security.
00:5230 EU and NATO military personnel are involved.
01:01The weather in Morocco has not been good for several days already.
01:06This Tuesday, a level of red vigilance alerts on heavy rain, sometimes stormy.
01:12It will be the same until 11 p.m. in the provinces of Rabat, Salis, Kherat, Tmarach, Meset, Ifren and Khnefra.
01:31Several roadways have been reopened in the province of Ifren.
01:41They had been cut off due to heavy snowfall, lack of visibility and strong gusts of wind.
01:50These roadways, in particular the national road No. 13, which connects Azrou to Eyt Ouf El Lavia, Timahdid,
01:57and the national road No. 707, have been reopened to traffic thanks to the mobilization of the services of the provincial delegation of the Ministry of Equipment, Transport, Logistics and Water in Ifren.
02:12In the first two months of 2025, Morocco welcomed nearly 2.7 million tourists, more than half a million more than last year.
02:28At the same time, the Ministry of Health and Welfare confirms that Morocco is among the world's major destinations.
02:37Each visitor who chooses Morocco contributes directly to the economic growth of our regions, to the creation of jobs and to the inclusion of young people.
02:47This is a statement by Minister Fatemeh Zahra Amor.
02:52Back on the meeting in Rabat between the Minister of Justice Abdelatef Ouabi and his French counterpart Gérald Darmanin,
03:01who was welcomed on Monday at the seat of the Ministry of Justice in Rabat.
03:06The joint statement signed integrates strategic priorities such as the fight against terrorism and organized crime,
03:15but also the modernization of the judicial system and the strengthening of its governance.
03:21The developments of Dina Malini.
03:26While judicial cooperation between Morocco and France continues to strengthen,
03:31especially in the fight against drug trafficking,
03:34the Moroccan Minister of Justice Abdelatef Ouabi welcomed on Monday his French counterpart Gérald Darmanin.
03:41Objective? To evoke the fight against terrorism and organized crime.
03:46This meeting is also an opportunity to draw up an in-depth assessment of the progress made in the legal and judicial cooperation between the two countries.
03:56It is also an opportunity to scrutinize the future prospects of this collaboration and to discuss contemporary issues of common interest.
04:05During this meeting, a joint statement of the Ministers of Justice of the two countries was signed.
04:11This is the result of the exchanges that began since the drafting of the action plan, signed on May 31, 2024,
04:19the one that aimed to fight against terrorism and organized crime.
04:25The two Ministers stressed the strategic importance of this axis, which represents a major threat both nationally and internationally.
04:34I sincerely thank my friend the Minister of Justice for his friendship,
04:38his welcome and the very important work that Morocco and France have together on issues that affect justice for our fellow citizens.
04:47First of all, issues of daily justice.
04:49Mr. Minister is very attached to the functioning of the family,
04:53on simplifications, the digitization that can be brought for Moroccan citizens and French citizens,
05:00but also for lawyers, for the professions of law.
05:03And then I thank Morocco very sincerely, Mr. Minister, for the great cooperation that we have,
05:09especially in the fight against drug traffickers.
05:12We know how to count on a Moroccan justice that is very attentive to the security of the French.
05:19And I thank him because we had a long exchange last night and this morning on very important cases for France,
05:25and especially on the arrest in Marrakech very recently on people supposed to be very dangerous,
05:34having participated in the escape of Mr. Hamra in France.
05:38These people, called on by the Moroccan services, we hope,
05:44will be in the next few days sent to the French national territory to respond to their actions in the face of French justice.
05:51And without the work of Morocco in this precise case,
05:54but like the previous cases and like all those to which I cannot make reference publicly,
05:58France would be less secure.
06:00And so it is really a great sign of friendship, a great sign of professionalism,
06:04and a great work that we have in common that I came to say to Mr. Minister
06:09to thank him very sincerely for his action and that of his administration.
06:13The meeting with my friend and French counterpart Gérard Darmanin was a sincere meeting
06:18and allowed us to discuss many common issues such as the exchange of criminals,
06:23the revision of several agreements and common affairs,
06:26as well as the social and economic situation of Moroccans living in France.
06:30Agreements on the situation of lawyers have also been mentioned.
06:33We are very optimistic about the relationship and collaboration between the two countries.
06:42We have discussed the situation of our country in France,
06:45especially its social and personal situation.
06:48We have also made some agreements with the lawyers,
06:52and we will review them, and other issues and agreements.
06:57Faced with the evolution of criminal networks and the mechanisms of profit they generate,
07:02this threat significantly affects sovereignty, security, economy, environment,
07:08and the development of the two nations.
07:10Since then, France and Morocco have reaffirmed their common will
07:14to intensify their efforts to circumvent these phenomena and face them,
07:19and this by mobilizing the necessary resources, including those related to the legal field.
07:25Ministers have also agreed on the importance of the continuous training of professionals in the sector,
07:31the implementation of programs dedicated to the improvement of administrative management
07:36and legislative development, as well as the exchange of expertise in all areas of justice.
07:44Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio
07:49arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday.
07:52The purpose of this trip is discussions that could be crucial on the war with Russia.
08:00The story is by Raja Ngo.
08:03It is in Jeddah that Ukrainian and American officials will meet on Tuesday
08:09to discuss ways to end the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
08:14During this meeting, the Ukrainian president will propose to send an American
08:19a truce in the air and at sea with Moscow.
08:23Shortly before arriving in Saudi Arabia, Marco Rubio described this idea as promising.
08:29The American team will be made up of senior officials,
08:33including Marco Rubio and National Security Adviser Mike Walt.
08:38Ukraine should be represented by the head of the presidential administration,
08:43the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Defense,
08:47and the Deputy Chairman of the President's Cabinet.
08:49This meeting will be the first between Ukrainian and American officials
08:54since Volodymyr Zelensky's disastrous visit to the White House in late February.
09:00A few hours after the start of the discussions,
09:02Volodymyr Zelensky once again shared his desire to put an end to the war.
09:08The US Secretary of State also said he hoped that the suspension of US military aid to Kiev
09:15could be resolved during the discussions in Saudi Arabia.
09:19On Monday, a senior Ukrainian official warned that a prolonged freeze of US intelligence
09:26would give Russia a significant advantage on the battlefield.
09:30The talks in Saudi Arabia should serve to define a framework for a peace agreement
09:36and to put an end to the initial fire.
09:40Paris welcomes consultations this week in order to strengthen European defense and security.
09:47This meeting of military officials from 30 countries of the European Union and NATO
09:53is held in close coordination with NATO's military command,
09:58which is also associated with this approach.
10:05On Monday, the Syrian president announced an agreement
10:09to integrate all civil and military institutions
10:14belonging to the Kurdish Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria,
10:20welcomed in several Syrian cities by demonstrations of joy, according to state media.
10:26The agreement was signed by the interim president, Ahmad al-Sharah,
10:31and the head of the Syrian Democratic Forces,
10:35dominated by the Kurds, Mazloum Abdi, for an application scheduled by the end of the year.
10:45Israel announced last Sunday that it was ceasing to supply electricity to Gaza.
10:51Hamas denounced an unacceptable blackmail, firmly condemning this decision.
10:57Complementary information with Sheyma Fekri.
11:03Israel cut off supply of electricity to Gaza on Sunday
11:07and disconnected the only power line supplying a water supply plant.
11:12The aim is to increase pressure on Hamas.
11:20Israel said it was cutting off supply as a form of pressure
11:23and a tactic to push Hamas to pursue the first phase of the ceasefire agreement
11:27and to release more hostages.
11:29From the point of view of the Legal Center for Freedom of Movement,
11:32this is a collective punishment.
11:35The cessation of humanitarian aid as well as the cessation of the supply of electricity,
11:39water and medicine to the civilian population constitute a war crime.
11:45Without electricity and with the fuel blocked,
11:48the last water supply plants, health institutions and bakeries in Gaza are likely to close.
11:53This will have serious consequences for civilians.
11:56Moreover, the UN shared its concerns on this subject.
12:03What kind of life do we live?
12:05No electricity, no water, no life.
12:07We don't even live a proper life.
12:09What else is left in life?
12:11Who has beauty in this life?
12:13Our children are gone, our families are gone,
12:15and our situation is pitiful.
12:17There is no more life.
12:24As an occupying power, Israel has the legal obligation
12:27to meet the needs of the populations of the territories it controls.
12:31For its part, Hamas denounced an unacceptable blackmail
12:35by firmly condemning Israel's decision to cut off electricity in Gaza
12:39after depriving it of food, medicine and water.
12:44In a whole other field, Morocco is now looking for moments of relaxation,
12:48entertainment and nocturnal escape.
12:50The inhabitants of the city of Lahyoun enjoy public places.
12:55This is often after the prayer of Taraweeh.
12:58And this friendly atmosphere is typical in the month of Ramadan.
13:02The story is by Dinam Rini.
13:08In this holy month of Ramadan, a spiritual and festive atmosphere reigns in Lahyoun.
13:13The public spaces of the city turn into an animated space
13:16after the prayer of Taraweeh.
13:18Here, on Moulay El Hassan Square, one of the largest squares in the city,
13:22young people, looking for moments of escape, play dominoes.
13:26A popular game that allows them to distract
13:29and deepen their social ties during this holy month.
13:37After the prayer of Taraweeh, we meet in this place
13:40where we play popular games and others related to the Hassani culture.
13:45The atmosphere is festive during this month in Lahyoun.
13:52In the same place, young women gather to play Sikh,
13:56a traditional game transmitted in the southern provinces.
13:59It requires a lot of precision and concentration.
14:03It embodies their attachment to their Hassani heritage
14:06and allows them to preserve a part of their ancestral tradition.
14:16We met in this place, Moulay El Hassan, after the prayer of Taraweeh.
14:20We decided to stay not far from home to play Sikh
14:24and discuss different topics in a warm atmosphere.
14:33If the days of Lahyoun are characterized by the nonchalant rhythm,
14:36the Ramadan nights, on the other hand, are busy,
14:39transforming green spaces and public places
14:42into real places of deambulation, relaxation and leisure,
14:46until late at night.
14:50The guest of the Grand Journal de la mi-journée is Rabah.
14:54We welcome him.
14:56He is an agro-economist and ruralist Zaghdouni.
15:01Hello and thank you for accepting to enlighten us
15:04on the consequences of the untempered winds that cross Morocco.
15:08Hello to you.
15:10Hello and thank you for the invitation.
15:16What has been the impact of the recent rains
15:20and current rains in some provinces on the main agricultural cultures,
15:24in particular cereals, fruits and vegetables?
15:30Obviously, as we are used to saying,
15:33every drop of rain, every drop of water
15:36is welcome for our country and for our agriculture.
15:40Especially since our country has been experiencing
15:43the strongest and hardest droughts for our farmers for more than six years.
15:53And these rains can only have beneficial effects
15:58on the whole of our agricultural sector and the rural world.
16:04Even if these rains have not affected
16:10the whole of the large agricultural regions
16:13with the same magnitude and intensity.
16:17Obviously, these rains...
16:20Yes?
16:22How have the abundant rains affected the quality of the crops?
16:27Do you know if there have been significant losses for farmers, for example?
16:35I don't hear you very well, sorry.
16:38I was saying, do you know if there have been significant losses
16:42for some farmers with these abundant rains?
16:48The rains are abundant, especially in the northern half of the country.
16:53As usual, it is the most abundant part of the country, as every year.
16:58But these rains will first have a beneficial effect
17:03on a relative improvement in the recovery of the dams.
17:08But also, and especially after the important rainfall that we have received,
17:15we will not miss having a beneficial effect on,
17:18I was going to say, the re-planting of the phreatic trees.
17:22In terms of crops, of course, all crop crops,
17:26even if our farmers have had the ability to plant them,
17:31will benefit from this re-planting, as it will also be the case
17:35for the phreatic trees, for the rich crops of the fields, of the seasons.
17:41Obviously, all these crops will have a beneficial effect.
17:48In the case of cereals, which constitute an integral part of our agriculture,
17:53the rains will be beneficial where the cycles of these crops
17:57have not been affected by the drought that has been experienced in recent months.
18:03And so, in particular, the cereals will benefit in the region of Syria,
18:09in the Gharb, a part of Nusayr, Chaounet, etc.
18:15There are other components of our agricultural system
18:18that will benefit greatly from these rains.
18:22These are, first of all, the routes,
18:25especially in the mountainous areas, but not only,
18:28in the high plains of the East as well,
18:30or even in the southern half of the Basin,
18:34where the cereals have been seriously affected.
18:37Perhaps there will be an owner
18:40who will save our farmers from the terrible expenses
18:45that they have not stopped committing for years
18:47to ensure the food of their cattle,
18:50or at least of the cattle that still remain.
18:53There is also an extremely important sector
18:58that we often tend to forget in our interventions, in our debates,
19:03it is the forestry sector.
19:05Our forests greatly need such rains.
19:08All the more so since these rains with the snow
19:11affect practically all mountainous areas.
19:16But all this should not make us forget
19:21that climate change is still there,
19:25that the hydric situation in our country is still there.
19:30And as proof, there are two important hydraulic basins
19:34that are still very far from the filling rates of other basins.
19:38This is the case of Mont-Roubaix,
19:40which is a strategic and vital hydraulic basin for our country,
19:44and also the hydraulic basin of this nation.
19:47So we absolutely need to remain vigilant
19:50so as not to fall into excess.
19:54So in the world of optimism,
19:57if I have something to add,
20:01it is that from my point of view,
20:04the arrival of these rains with so much intensity
20:08and so much water supply,
20:11brutally after a period of extreme drought,
20:15once again confirms that climate change is still there,
20:20that is, the transition from one extreme to the other.
20:23And these rains must, I would say,
20:27encourage us to worry more about the management of the territory,
20:33the protection of our infrastructure against floods
20:37and to mobilize us to invest as much as possible
20:40in the collection of rainwater,
20:42and not necessarily through dams.
20:45There are techniques that can save water.
20:50Mr. Zagdouni, as an agro-economist,
20:54with these climate conditions,
20:56how to estimate or predict the prices of agricultural products,
21:01fruits, vegetables, meat, fish?
21:04Can we already predict the evolution of prices?
21:08I think you didn't hear my question.
21:13I can't hear you, I can't hear you.
21:16Sorry.
21:17I was saying, with these climate conditions,
21:21how to estimate or predict the prices of agricultural products,
21:25fruits, vegetables, meat, fish?
21:27Can we already predict the evolution of prices?
21:32Can we predict the future evolution of prices?
21:35You don't hear me.
21:39I can't hear you.
21:40I'm sorry.
21:41There are communication problems.
21:44We're going to have to end this interview.
21:46If you don't hear me, Mr. Larbi.
21:49No, still not?
21:51Mr. Zagdouni?
21:53Well, thank you, Mr. Larbi Zagdouni,
21:56agro-economist and ruralist.
21:59Thank you for being the guest
22:01since the opening of the great newspaper
22:04of the midday of Médien-TV.
22:07Thank you and thank you for your enlightenment.
22:13This is the end of this great newspaper of the midday.
22:16Bonne suite de programme sur Médien-TV.
