00:00News from the Média TV newsroom
00:10Hello everyone, welcome to your Média TV newsroom. Here are the headlines.
00:17New weather alert in Morocco. Strong gusts of wind with dust and snow showers are expected this Monday and Tuesday in several provinces of the kingdom.
00:31Yemen's Houthis claim two attacks against an American aircraft carrier in the Red Sea and say they will strike American cargoes in response to strikes by the United States.

02:54We continue this newsroom with the American President Donald Trump who said on Sunday that he would speak on Tuesday to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in the context of the American-Russian rapprochement to put an end to the war in Ukraine,
03:12in the context of the American-Russian rapprochement to put an end to the war in Ukraine,
03:40The Kremlin said on Friday that Putin had sent a message to the American emissary to Trump on his proposal for a 30-day truce between Ukraine and Russia.
03:50The Kremlin said on Friday that Putin had sent a message to the American emissary to Trump on his proposal for a 30-day truce between Ukraine and Russia.
04:10The Kremlin said on Friday that Putin had sent a message to the American emissary to Trump on his proposal for a 30-day truce between Ukraine and Russia.
04:38The first thing for Putin is to finally get out of this battle, this war that has been going on for a few years already.
04:47We remember that it was in February 2022, so he is in his third year and more.
04:52Secondly, it is a question of credibility because Putin has engaged the country in the face of the West.
04:59At the time, there was Mr. Biden, who coalesced with the Europeans to counter the Russian offensive.
05:04At the same time, with the sanctions, Russia was fined and suspended from the Council of Europe.
05:12Much earlier, with the annexation of Crimea in 2014, it was suspended at the time of the G8, which became the G7, etc.
05:19If Putin wants to go in this direction, he necessarily has conditions.
05:25He has conditions.
05:27Maybe he can legitimize the annexation of the east of Ukraine, which is not obvious.
05:32Once again, for Vladimir Zelensky, who is at risk of losing his credibility, his legitimacy.
05:40At this point, he will finally say that all these wars, all these years of war, have not brought much.
05:47There is the strategy of the actors, there is the said, there is the not said.
05:52Putin, roughly speaking, adheres to Trump's proposal, given the connection between the two heads of state and perhaps the friendship that brings them together.
06:01And perhaps even the conversations they had without it being official.
06:06However, it is certain that for Mr. Zelensky, in this trio, compared to the United States, compared to Russia, he seems to be the weakest link.
06:16While today, I believe Putin is in a position of strength.
06:21In the meantime, a European coalition of support for Ukraine has just been constituted.
06:26What are the main objectives of this coalition of so-called volunteers for Ukraine?
06:32Zakaria Bouda, professor of international relations and political science at the University of Ramstein-de-Rabat,
06:38returns on the role that this European coalition can play in supporting Ukraine in the conclusion of an agreement to cease fire between Kiev and Moscow.
06:50First, in terms of Mr. Trump's words, if there is an agreement, it is absolutely necessary that the Europeans are part of it.
06:57And so we know very well that we could not reach a sustainable agreement without the involvement of Europe in general.
07:04When we say Europe, we include, of course, the United Kingdom, which has not been a member of the European Union for a few years.
07:09Secondly, there is NATO, of course, which must also, in one way or another,
07:13supervise the negotiations, at least in being a part of it.
07:17And we know very well about Mr. Putin's allergy to this organization,
07:21which was created in 1949 and which was fundamentally anti-Soviet for several decades.
07:27Europe is waking up. There is the Russian threat.
07:32In fact, we followed Mr. Macron's words a few days ago, I think last Friday or last Thursday.
07:38And Mr. Putin's answer, considering that there is a kind of neo-Napoleonism that manifests itself in Mr. Macron's words.
07:47So, truly, Europe has officially decided to inject no less than 800 billion euros for the rearmament,
07:54to constitute a security complex.
07:57And so the shock wave, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and Mr. Donald Trump's action,
08:02ultimately leads to a Europe that is still looking for itself and is defining itself in relation to geostrategic issues
08:08that are being played on these borders.
08:11When we talk about Europe, we are mainly talking about the Baltic states, Estonia, Lithuania and Lithuania.
08:17And we are talking about Poland, which I think, the first ones, are probably in Mr. Putin's geopolitical-geostrategic collimator.
08:24So there is a kind of mix-up in relation to what is happening in the old continent.
08:31In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday his intention
08:37to dismiss the head of the Interior Security Service, Ronen Bar,
08:42claiming he could no longer trust him.
08:45I decided to propose to the government the end of the mandate of the head of Shin Bet,
08:49said Benjamin Netanyahu in a video statement broadcast by his services.
08:54His proposal should be accepted by the government,
08:57but the left-wing opposition has already announced that it will contest the decision in front of the Supreme Court.
09:04Relations between the two men were notably tense before the attack on 7 October,
09:10notably because of a reform project of justice.
09:13There had been protests at the beginning of 2023 and have become exasperating.
09:20After the publication on March 4 of an internal investigation report on October 7,
09:25the agency recognizes flaws in the collection of information
09:29that could have alerted the authorities about the scope of the attack.
09:36And still in the Middle East, Israel and the Palestinian Hamas
09:39must resume negotiations directly with Doha to discuss modalities for the continuation of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
09:47A delegation from Hamas led by Khalil El-Hayya,
09:52a chief negotiator, left Cairo for Doha.
09:56On Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
10:01gave his instructions to the team of negotiators to prepare for the continuation of the discussions.
10:13The world celebrated Saturday, the International Consumer Day,
10:19a day set up to ensure the rights of consumers.
10:23In Morocco, the actors of civil society seized the opportunity to take the necessary measures
10:29to improve the system of protection of consumer rights.
10:33Look, it's a report signed by Ayub Tarazayoun Selmi Sourih.
10:37The story is by Sohail Jalil.
10:40On March 15 of each year, Moroccans celebrate the World Consumer Protection Day.
10:46This day recalls the importance of information and awareness
10:50in a context where consumer modes are rapidly evolving.
10:54In a context of challenges related to the rise of prices,
10:57civil society associations collaborate with competent authorities
11:01to regulate prices and ensure the respect of the rights
11:05that consumers should normally benefit from.
11:08The relationship between the consumer and the supplier is experiencing significant changes.
11:17We could even talk about an awakening of the consumer who now knows his rights.
11:22For 25 years, we have worked to place the consumer at the heart of a legal framework
11:28that guarantees him his rights.
11:31The protection of consumers has recently experienced a significant dynamic
11:36with the implementation of many initiatives,
11:39including professionalization of consumer boards,
11:43the improvement of work tools,
11:45and the governance of consumer protection associations.
11:52The Moroccan Federation of Consumer Rights includes more than 120 associations
11:57working on consumer protection and the development of consumerism culture.
12:03That said, I would like to see a high-level partnership with Moroccan schools
12:08so that this awareness of consumption is at the heart of our culture.
12:14The Ministry of Industry and Commerce is carrying out a supportive and structured action
12:18for consumer protection around several areas,
12:21including control actions.
12:23As of 2024, more than 300,000 sales points have been visited
12:26as part of the local control carried out by the mixed commissions
12:30chaired by Mr. Lewaly and governors,
12:33resulting in the observation of 15,200 infractions.
12:38Speaking of consumption, what are the main factors
12:42that explain the increase in the prices of basic products during Ramadan?
12:47Are these increases seasonal or related to external factors?
12:53Let's listen to the answer of the President of the National Federation of Consumer Associations,
12:58Wadih Mahdiyeh.
13:01External factors have been there since 2020.
13:04We experienced the Corona phase,
13:09and then we saw that there was inflation all over the world.
13:15Now, on the international level,
13:18inflation is starting to decrease.
13:21Even in some countries, it has drastically decreased.
13:25And in Morocco, with the drought,
13:30which is sometimes a pretext
13:36to justify the increase in prices for some professionals.
13:43But the most important thing is that the national market is not regulated.
13:48The national market is not followed.
13:50The national market does not have a regulatory order to follow,
13:56knowing very well that from the source of the product,
14:00there are several intermediaries,
14:03even before it reaches the wholesale market.
14:07And as you know, the wholesale markets are regulated by a 1962 law,
14:13while we are in an era that has evolved a lot,
14:19and this requires an evolution of this kind of trade
14:25and to eradicate all intermediaries who have no right to stay there
14:32and effectively leave a traceable chain without any problem.
14:41In a Ramadan-like atmosphere, imbued with spirituality,
14:46the city of Larache welcomed the first edition of the Ramadan Festival
14:50for spiritual praise, Sufism and Andalusian music.
14:55The festival attracted renowned musical groups
14:58and gave the public the opportunity to immerse themselves
15:01in the worlds of spiritual invocation and prophetic praise.
15:05Reporting from Suheil Jalil.
15:12In an atmosphere imbued with spirituality,
15:14the city of Larache welcomed the first edition of the Ramadan Festival
15:18for spiritual praise, Sufism and Andalusian music.
15:22A musical outing that allowed the public to dive
15:25into the worlds of spiritual invocation and authentic musical heritage.
15:33We are very happy to attend this edition.
15:35It is also an honor to meet the sublime public of Larache.
15:39Larache has always been a high place of spirituality
15:42and famous for its saints, heroes and mystical personalities.
15:51The festival sought to anchor the values of Moroccan identity
15:54through the revitalization of traditional arts,
15:57the opportunity to highlight the artistic and emotional richness of Sufi heritage,
16:02in particular through the presentation of Andalusian invocations
16:06and invocations organized for the love of the Prophet.
16:14Our city loves to host festivals of this kind,
16:18especially during the holy month.
16:20People are very keen to rediscover their ancestral culture
16:24and it is a duty to perpetuate the light of past centuries.
16:32The festival has been widely saluted.
16:34The participants praise the beauty of the artistic performances
16:37and the importance of this initiative to dynamize the cultural life of the city.
16:41The event has also provided an opportunity to strengthen the interest for spiritual arts
16:46that reflect the historical and cultural depth of Morocco.
16:52A word of sport with the Moroccan Houdet Bartal
16:55who won the Women's Boxing World Championship in the 52-54 kg category.
17:02Houdet Bartal was a sacred champion of the world this Sunday in Serbia
17:07at the Women's Boxing World Championships.
17:09Gold medalist at the African Championships Yaoundé in 2023
17:14and at Kinshasa in 2024.
17:16Houdet won the World Championship in 2022
17:19against the Turkish Hattis Akbass on Saturday.
17:23Houdet won 5 points to 2.
17:43Houdet won 3 points to 2.
17:47Houdet won 3 points to 2.
17:51Houdet won 3 points to 2.
17:55Houdet won 3 points to 2.
17:59Houdet won 3 points to 2.
18:04We now go to the West Of of the guests from OMTV.
18:13It is a report that focuses on the resilience of the Moroccan economy.
18:21This resilience can be observed in several areas and on several indicators.
18:28First, the Moroccan economy has been able to maintain a moderate degree,
18:36of course, it is moderate in economic growth, but it is a growth that is safe,
18:43which is safe and which continues to show year after year.
18:50A growth that remains sustained despite the international situation.
18:54Yes, it is sustained despite the international situation and also the national situation.
18:59We must not forget that we have been through seven years of drought.
19:03So it is a big element, it is a big impact on the Moroccan economy.
19:09So the Moroccan economy has been able to resist these great challenges
19:14and these great variables, whether at the international level or at the national level.
19:24We are dealing with complex issues.
19:27The first reality is a paradigm shift.
19:31For a very long time, we have managed agricultural water in relation to water supply.
19:36But we forgot that there is demand.
19:38Yes, that is the paradigm shift.
19:40But when you allow activities to develop in sometimes desert areas,
19:47at some point you have to ask yourself questions.
19:50Water will not be invented.
19:52You can't set up agricultural fishing perimeters in deserts.
19:58We may have done it on three hectares, on 100 hectares.
20:01You know, in the Sous Massa, the current crisis has been known for 50 years.
20:07Everyone knew that we are on an agriculture that mainly uses groundwater.
20:13It rains less than 100 mm.
20:15You put in crops that need 1,000 mm per year.
20:18You give yourself the idea that, so to speak, you are saving because there is the drop-by-drop
20:23or because you have economical irrigation solutions.
20:26But in the end, the planted surface has increased with the encouragement of the State.
20:31And here, of course, I agree with you.
20:33Where is the State in all this?
20:35The State, with its engineers, with its power.
20:39At some point, there are things that no longer hold up.
20:41And if we let it do it, and by the way, it is an academic theory.
20:44We sometimes say, let it do it.
20:46We are going to let it do it.
20:47And we have seen what it has brought us.
20:49Tear-downs of whole plantations, subsidized with state funds, state subsidies.
20:55And today, people no longer have the revenues they used to have.
20:58So at some point, we may have to take a fast flight, stop and say, we're going to take stock.
21:05In any case, the simplest thing is already to take water.
21:07And then take a significant amount of glycidic.
21:13The dates are well placed for that.
21:16So a contribution in fructose and also in minerals and fiber.
21:21So do not exceed three dates.
21:23And right away, the mechanism of energy recovery at the level of the body, it's gone.
21:28So it's important.
21:29So the green one, the date.
21:30The date.
21:31And then?
21:32And then, we keep our traditions.
21:34The idea is just to be able to, that is to say, soup, the soup bowl.
21:38Well, vegetables, or the famous Harira, which is precious,
21:43because it contains interesting legumes.
21:47Just that it's light.
21:49Don't put flour at all, because it's going to cause flatulence.
21:54And so automatically, people are not comfortable.
22:03The diversification of supply sources, especially for drinking water.
22:07Because it's a frozen demand, which is rigid, which is instantaneous.
22:12We don't have the flexibility to meet this demand.
22:16So it's the conventional water, the dams and the discharge of seawater.
22:21Currently, you have talked about these stations with more than 430 million cubic meters produced.
22:27In 2030, we will reach 1.7 billion.
22:30So we're going to have this diversification, which will be beneficial for agriculture indirectly.
22:36So it's the excess of water that will be, God willing, in the coming years.
22:41I am always optimistic to say that we will always recover the situation
22:46where we are below 50% cubic meters.
22:57This concludes this edition.
22:59Thank you for staying with us.
