00:00We are still together on Mediantv, thank you for remaining faithful to us, here are the
00:18titles of your newspaper.
00:19This is the first Israeli attack since the resumption of the strikes of Tzahal on Gaza,
00:25an assailant opened fire this morning in the north of the country, the death toll is
00:29so high.
00:30The shooter was shot down.
00:31In Turkey, day and night, the demonstrations continue, a contestation that threatens to
00:39harden, again, it is said, with new calls to demonstrate after the incarceration for
00:44corruption of the mayor of Istanbul, already appointed candidate to the presidential election
00:49of 2028 by his party.
00:53Will American diplomacy succeed in unraveling a partial truce in Ukraine?
00:58In any case, a new round of discussions between Russians and Americans began this morning
01:03in Riyadh, negotiations qualified as difficult by the Kremlin.
01:10But before developing these titles, know that His Majesty the King Mohammed VI appointed
01:15some leaders of constitutional institutions.
01:19This is Abdelkader Amara, President of the Economic, Social and Environmental Council,
01:26Mohamed Benalilou, President of the National Institute for Prohibition, Prevention and
01:32the Fight Against Corruption in Saint-Arique, as mediator of the Kingdom.
01:37These nominations are included in the framework of the will of His Majesty the King Mohammed
01:42VI to see these institutions accomplish the missions entrusted to them by the constitution
01:48of the kingdom, to reaffirm their role in the consecration of the principles of good governance,
01:55the consolidation of participatory democracy and the protection of rights and freedoms.
02:01It also reflects the interest granted by the sovereign to these institutions as
02:07independent constitutional institutions in order to offer a new dynamic to their mission
02:14and to strengthen their interaction with the various national institutions in the pursuit
02:20of the various reforms and major projects that the kingdom is engaged in.
02:28Shots were fired in the north of Israel where an assailant opened fire this morning.
02:32It was in the Tishbi quarter, about 15 kilometers southeast of Haifa.
02:37The death toll is so high.
02:39The shooter was shot down.
02:41This is the first attack in Israel since the Israeli army broke the truce with Hamas
02:46in the Gaza Strip by resuming its bombings.
02:55A whole country that seems to be burning.
02:57We are in Turkey, where day and night the demonstrations continue.
03:01A protest that threatens to get even tougher, it is said, with new calls to demonstrate
03:07after the incarceration for corruption of the popular mayor of Istanbul, Imamoglu.
03:13His party has already chosen him as a candidate for the 2028 presidential election.
03:20Imamoglu, the main rival of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was incarcerated on Sunday.
03:27He was taken to the prison in Silivri, west of Istanbul, with nearly 90 co-accused.
03:33This incarceration is qualified as a coup d'etat by the Republican People's Party,
03:39the first opposition force to which the mayor of Istanbul belongs.
03:45We are facing two conspiracies.
03:47One of them is the allegation of terrorism.
03:49The arrest warrant has been rejected.
03:51There is not even a judicial control imposed on Imamoglu.
03:54But in the other case, the one they describe as the criminal organization, Imamoglu,
04:00they decided to arrest him.
04:02But the necessary objections will be made for the mayor to regain his freedom.
04:06These objections will be as social as legal.
04:13Since the announcement of his trial, monster demonstrations have been held all over the country.
04:18Until late Saturday, tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the Istanbul City Hall
04:24for the fourth consecutive evening in support.
04:27This is a wave of unprecedented protests in Turkey for 12 years.
04:35The main opposition party, the Republican People's Party,
04:38has tried to provoke our nation with this operation of corruption.
04:42We will certainly not allow this party and its accomplices to disturb public order
04:48and disturb the peace of our people by provocations.
04:51If you dare, let the courts make their decision on behalf of the Turkish nation without putting pressure on them.
04:57Let democracy work, let the law work.
05:03Despite the incarceration of Ekrem Imamoglu,
05:06his political party maintained the primary, which was to make the mayor of Istanbul their candidate for the next presidential election,
05:12scheduled for 2028.
05:14Several million people took part in the scrutiny.
05:17The mayor, who denounces immoral and baseless accusations against him,
05:22has also been suspended from his post.
05:27Will American diplomacy succeed in triggering a partial truce in Ukraine?
05:32It won't be that simple.
05:34In any case, a new round of discussions between Russians and Americans began this morning in Riyadh.
05:39Negotiations are described as difficult by the Kremlin.
05:43At this stage, Russia has only agreed with Washington
05:47on a moratorium on the bombing of energy infrastructures.
05:52Meanwhile, on the ground, the fights continue with deadly strikes in Ukraine and Russia.
05:59And today, what are the real chances of reaching a compromise at the end of these talks,
06:05given the profound divergences?
06:08Let's listen to the answer of Zakaria Abou-Darab,
06:11Professor of International Relations and Political Science at the University of Mohamed V in Rabat.
06:18What we have understood from the very terms of the exchanges that took place by American mediation
06:26is that it will be a kind of partial truce.
06:29First of all, there is a kind of moratorium.
06:32And by the way, a moratorium, let's say, respecting a partial ceasefire.
06:36And in particular, as I said earlier,
06:38saving energy installations is vital on both sides.
06:42But it is more Ukraine that is vulnerable and exposed to massive attacks from Russia
06:48when we take into account the parity in terms of armament.
06:52In a context, it is important to remember,
06:55where the United States and Mr. Donald Trump have decided to suspend military aid at least temporarily.
07:01And facing a Europe that is divided,
07:04and perhaps even disarmed against Russia,
07:07which is, let's say, coming back to force.
07:10So we can say roughly that there are some places of hope.
07:13But let's say that realism must be rigorous and must be at the rendezvous.
07:19We could say that there are chances of success, at least of these first meetings.
07:24They will not be the last, of course.
07:27We must then, I think, go out into the field to discuss fundamental issues.
07:31And this is probably where we will see in the next delegations,
07:35notably Russian, the participation, for example, of Sergey Lavrov.
07:40And it is tomorrow that precisely the Russian delegation will meet the American delegation
07:46to establish a kind of dialogue between the two parties
07:51to then attack the fundamental issues.
07:55In the rest of the news, there is the conflict in RDC
07:58and the decision today of Angola to renounce its role as mediator.
08:03Luanda justifies this decision by her wish to dedicate herself
08:07to her upcoming presidency of the African Union.
08:11For Angola, the necessary steps with the commission of the African Union
08:17will be undertaken in the coming days to find another mediator.
08:22This decision comes after the surprise meeting in Doha
08:25between the presidents Rwandan and Congolese,
08:27while direct negotiations boycotted by the M23
08:31were to be held on the same day under Angolan mediation.
08:35The water desalination station at Sahabel Harcha
08:39is one of the main projects of the supply of drinking water
08:43from the province of Tantan in Morocco.
08:45This factory, which uses the latest technologies,
08:48wants to meet the needs of the drinking water population.
08:58After years of repeated droughts
09:01and increasing pressure on water resources in the province of Tantan,
09:05the Sahabel Harcha desalination station
09:08has ensured the supply of drinking water
09:11and fought against water stress.
09:15This station allows the mobilization of a flow of 100 liters of water per second
09:19from several wells and forages for a cost of 270 million dirhams.
09:23This project aims to supply the cities of Tantan and Lotia with drinking water.
09:29The Sahabel Harcha desalination station relies on demineralization technologies
09:33to treat saline groundwater.
09:36This project has made it possible to supply the cities of Tantan and Lotia with drinking water
09:40in normal conditions despite the prolonged effects of drought.
09:44And in order to ensure a continuity of supplies
09:47and increase its production capacity,
09:49extension work of the station's infrastructure is underway.
09:55We are carrying out extension work of the desalination station
09:59to meet the growing demand for drinking water in the cities of Lotia and Tantan.
10:04This project aims mainly to secure the supply
10:07over the medium and long term of these two cities
10:09which are experiencing considerable economic and social development.
10:14The Sahabel Harcha desalination station constitutes a vital infrastructure in the city of Tantan
10:19which allows the sustainability of drinking water resources,
10:22meet the needs of the population and promote local development.
10:28In this context, the UN Global Report on the Valuation of Drinking Water Resources
10:33warns of the state of the glaciers on a global scale.
10:36This report, which UNESCO has just published for the account of UNESCO,
10:40warns against the spilling of these natural water castles
10:44which may aggravate global crises.
10:47The document reveals how climate change,
10:50the loss of biodiversity and non-sustainable activities
10:54transform mountainous environments at an unprecedented rate.
10:59For these authors, it is now urgent to set up an international cooperation
11:03so that strategies and adaptation actions
11:07to deal with the ongoing crisis in our mountains and glaciers.
11:12In Europe, but also in Central Asia,
11:14we are increasingly witnessing an increase in cases of infant tuberculosis.
11:19The World Health Organization in a recent report
11:22has again raised the alarm bell with these worrying figures.
11:26In 2023, children under the age of 15
11:29represented 43% of new cases and cases of relapse of the disease in the European region of the WHO
11:37and they are up 10% compared to the previous year.
11:41The World Health Organization therefore insists on the need
11:45to intensify the efforts of detection and treatment of tuberculosis
11:50by expanding access to shorter and entirely oral therapeutic pathways
11:55which have proven promising to improve the results of patients waiting for tuberculosis.
12:06Good morning, good afternoon and good evening.
12:09And what initiatives or specific strategies does Morocco put in place
12:13to meet the global objectives of the WHO regarding the fight against tuberculosis
12:18and what challenges remain to be overcome to achieve this?
12:22Answer with Dr. Jafar Ekel, specialist in infectious and epidemiological diseases.
12:28There are still challenges.
12:30It will be extremely complicated, of course, to eliminate tuberculosis by 2030.
12:35Morocco is part of a strategy to detect a maximum of cases,
12:41that is to say, the idea is to detect at least 90% of the existing cases,
12:46to also take care of at least the same thing in terms of treatment
12:51and to cure all the time.
12:54This is a strategy that has been put in place.
12:56There is a team at the central level of the epidemiology department,
12:59the division of transmissible diseases in particular,
13:02and at the regional level, in each region, in each regional health department in Morocco,
13:07there is a team dedicated to the fight against tuberculosis.
13:11Obviously, once again, it must be understood that it is a disease,
13:15as well as other specific diseases,
13:18whose determinants are not only biological determinants,
13:22that is to say, there is the way of life, as I said, there is vulnerability,
13:26there are sometimes conditions of promiscuity or poverty.
13:30And that's why, once again, the vaccination against BZG,
13:33which we always take in Morocco and which remains important
13:37because it will avoid serious forms,
13:40hygiene, wearing a mask if you have respiratory symptoms,
13:44and each time going to get tested or diagnosed
13:48at your doctor, from the public or private sector.
13:51This strategy may not allow us in 2030 to completely eliminate tuberculosis,
13:56but we are on a tendency to decrease incidence.
14:00We still have the same number of prevailing cases,
14:04but in terms of incidence, that is to say new cases that appear,
14:08we now have a regular drop every year, at least in the last ten years.
14:12And we can hope, I hope in 2030, where it will be a little difficult,
14:16but maybe in 2037 to be able to eliminate this disease
14:20for which Morocco has made extremely important efforts,
14:24which are saluted everywhere, including by the World Health Organization.
14:28It is with the marked features that Pope Francis,
14:31still weakened, returned yesterday to the Vatican
14:34after more than five weeks of hospitalization for a double pneumonia,
14:38not without thanking beforehand, from a balcony of his hospital,
14:43the hundreds of faithful who came to greet him before his departure.
14:48Thank you all for declaring the Argentine sovereign pontiff
14:51of 88 years of a weak voice,
14:54during this public appearance of less than two minutes,
14:57the first since February 14th.
14:59The disease and the long hospitalization of the Pope,
15:0237 days in total, today raises questions
15:05about the person who could lead the religious events
15:09leading to Easter, the most important holiday of the Catholic calendar.
15:14In Saudi Arabia, the Ministry of Health updates
15:18the health measures for the Hajj 2025.
15:21These measures include, in particular,
15:23the assessment of the physical aptitude of pilgrims,
15:26mandatory vaccinations, as well as various recommendations
15:30and health prevention protocols.
15:32They are addressed to all people going to Saudi Arabia
15:36to complete the Hajj or temporarily work in the pilgrimage areas,
15:41thus guaranteeing optimal protection,
15:43both for pilgrims and for workers.
15:49In Senegal, in this period of Ramadan, but also of Karem,
15:53some restaurants opt for a break,
15:56the time to make some renovations,
15:59and for others, it is out of the question, the business continues.
16:03This is a report from Sirme Boukaka and Shehnaou.
16:06It is in the family home that this restaurant was born in 2007,
16:10Eye of Apexi 2 in Dakar.
16:13Nabou works there with his beautiful sister and another employee.
16:16In this period of Ramadan, as usual,
16:19other alternatives are put in place.
16:2230 days of fasting, 30 days of rest,
16:24also commercial activities for this restaurant.
16:27An opportunity to redecorate the place.
16:29In the month of Ramadan, we do the renovations,
16:32small works to improve, to better satisfy our customers.
16:37B&F is a family business.
16:41Fast food, restaurants,
16:45and everything.
16:47In Priyof, Cap-sur-Ouakam, another district of the city,
16:51in this other restaurant,
16:53customers are rare in this month of fasting,
16:55but it is out of the question to suspend activities.
16:58It is the preference of the management.
17:00They really prefer to open,
17:02unless they take some customers instead of closing.
17:04Maybe if you close, the return would be a little complicated.
17:09But in any case, we are used to doing it.
17:12We do it.
17:13We have always offered annual vacations,
17:16but the management has never done it.
17:20And during Ramadan, we have to accommodate ourselves.
17:24In Senegal, some restaurateurs do not lack ingenuity
17:28to adapt to the period of Ramadan.
17:30If some focus on the concept of broken dishes,
17:33commonly called Ndogu,
17:35others, for their part, offer a delivery service at home.
17:41The National Water Week continues in Morocco.
17:45A sixth edition organized by the Association of Teachers
17:49of Earth Life Sciences in Morocco,
17:52in collaboration with the Ministry of Education,
17:55as well as several agencies of hydraulic and partner pools.
17:59What makes this edition so special?
18:02To answer our questions,
18:04we are with the President of the Association of Teachers
18:07of Earth Life Sciences in Morocco,
18:10who is the guest of the major newspaper of the day,
18:13Abdelrahim Kasseri.
18:14Hello and thank you for accepting our invitation.
18:17Hello.
18:19Faced with climate fluctuations,
18:22the hydraulic emergency continues to guarantee
18:25the durability of water and its services.
18:28This is the theme of this National Water Week.
18:31A choice that justifies the current hydraulic situation in Morocco, right?
18:37Yes.
18:38The sixth edition of the National Water Week in 2025
18:42was launched in Mohamedia
18:45to say that we are in the sixth year of drought,
18:50but there are still fluctuations
18:52where there may be moments of precipitation.
18:55And fortunately,
18:57we have these last precipitations
19:00that have allowed a filling that exceeds 33%.
19:05And we hope even more
19:08to meet the needs of drinking water,
19:11of the economy, whether it is agriculture,
19:14industry or the tourism industry.
19:19But the essential message
19:22that was shared during this day
19:25is to say that we must absolutely remain vigilant.
19:30Because we had a lot of years that were rainy,
19:34but after a year or two,
19:36we still experienced times of crisis
19:40where we were forced to have restrictions
19:43for drinking water in certain regions,
19:45for meat, for others.
19:47And that's why we say that vigilance must be permanent.
19:51That's why we said that mobilization must remain permanent,
19:54even if there are precipitations.
19:56And the water that we received from the dams,
20:00from the water suppliers,
20:02should be managed well
20:05over a period of three to five years,
20:08assuming that there will be the most difficult scenario.
20:13And in this most difficult scenario,
20:15we must always keep drinking water for three to five years.
20:19But we must also continue to accelerate the large projects
20:24that the State has done,
20:26fortunately, with the transfer of water from one basin to another,
20:30and also with the German stations
20:34that are being accelerated,
20:37while knowing that there are still projects that need to be started.
20:41The first is the Afriatic,
20:43which cannot be recharged only by the rains.
20:46And so there will be a long period
20:49to have a real recharging of the water.
20:53And that's why the water contracts,
20:55which have not yet given satisfaction
20:57because they have remained too voluntary,
20:59and we have 300,000 informal wells,
21:03and we still have 300,000,
21:07so 90% are informal according to the ministries,
21:10so we must absolutely continue to open
21:14and work on these projects.
21:17And that's why the work...
21:19Abdelhamid Krasili, you just talked about these projects,
21:23these programs also implemented by the government
21:27to deal with water stress.
21:29Today, the water management strategy in Morocco
21:32is based on solutions, as you said,
21:34such as desalination and reuse of used water.
21:38What are, in your opinion, the main barriers
21:42to the widespread adoption of these technologies
21:45in other regions of the kingdom?
21:49Yes, the first obstacle, generally,
21:52is already that we know that Morocco has the expertise,
21:55it has the institutions,
21:57it also has the ability to mobilize resources.
22:00But the big challenge that remains,
22:03and that's why we signed a convention
22:06with the Hydraulic Basin Agency in Burgundy,
22:12and we thank its director,
22:15and we are working with other agencies,
22:17because we have the SVT, it is everywhere in Morocco,
22:20so it is a national program
22:23where there is a lot of activity,
22:25but also a lot of conventions that are signed,
22:27and there, the main thing,
22:29we signed to institutionalize this relationship
22:32and this communication,
22:34and we thank you for the effort you are making,
22:36because the civil society, the scientific society,
22:39and the media society,
22:41all three have this role
22:43of clarifying things to understand.
22:45But once we understand,
22:47we have to evaluate and we have to act.
22:49And there, the state is making efforts,
22:52there are large budgets that are allocated,
22:54but it remains, as you said,
22:56that it is territorialized,
22:58we do not have the information at the level of each territory,
23:01we do not have the GIR,
23:03the Interim Resource Management,
23:05we have participations that allow citizens,
23:07the actors of the territory,
23:09to really know the reality
23:11of their own reserves,
23:13at the level of the basin,
23:15of the sub-basin,
23:17but at the local level.
23:19And this is the structure we have worked on
23:21at the level of civil society,
23:23which must be developed everywhere.
23:25There is also the circular economy,
23:27the law of the circular economy
23:29which allows the mobilization of funds
23:31because the cost is too high,
23:33even with the desalination.
23:35And so, to solve this problem,
23:37especially for pollution and the reuse of water,
23:39it is absolutely necessary
23:41to make sure
23:43that there is a possibility
23:45to make polluters pay
23:47and to solve the problem upstream.
23:49It is the law of the circular economy that allows it.
23:51So there are construction sites
23:53that we are able to open,
23:55we need financial mechanisms.
23:57The budget must be allocated
23:59to small projects,
24:01because we have areas in the Oasis,
24:03we also work in the Oasis,
24:05where the symptoms are constant.
24:07So it is absolutely necessary
24:09to have financial regulatory mechanisms
24:11and to act at the level
24:13of micro-projects.
24:15Precisely, Abdelrahim Kasseri,
24:17speaking of these mechanisms,
24:19what are or what are
24:21the mechanisms set up
24:23by Morocco today
24:25that the sustainable water management initiative
24:27also benefits
24:29rural areas and vulnerable communities?
24:33Yes, there has been
24:35a lot of progress in the supply.
24:37Morocco is always,
24:39fortunately, thanks to the dam policy,
24:41which is a wise policy,
24:43it has always guaranteed
24:45the supply.
24:47But the supply has always done this
24:49with the dams,
24:51with the transfer of water
24:53from one basin to another,
24:55and now, in addition to that,
24:57there are desalination stations.
24:59But the economy, it is not the State that can do it,
25:01it is the actors,
25:03it is the citizens, the farmers,
25:05the tourism entrepreneurs and the industrialists
25:07and the citizens in general.
25:09And the State cannot do that.
25:11This is why a well-structured
25:13communication strategy,
25:15this is why we started
25:17with interactive activities
25:19on the basins,
25:21with the knowledge and expertise
25:23of our members and those of the
25:25Bourguerec agency,
25:27to develop tools that reflect
25:29the reality of a territory,
25:31but not too general information
25:33and with very precise objectives.
25:35And that's what we really want,
25:37that there is a real communication strategy.
25:39Precisely.
25:41Abdelrahman Kasseri,
25:43speaking of communication strategies,
25:45awareness and education
25:47are, as you often say,
25:49key elements of water management
25:51in Morocco.
25:53How do you assess the effectiveness
25:55of current educational initiatives
25:57in the modification
25:59of behavior or the change
26:01of behavior of citizens
26:03regarding water consumption?
26:05Yes,
26:07yesterday, Mr. Jemel Shaffer,
26:09a former central inspector
26:11and an education expert,
26:13gave us a presentation
26:15on water content
26:17at the level of programs.
26:19Moreover, even if we have
26:21desertification,
26:23we have a water crisis,
26:25a food crisis,
