00:00Hello everyone, this is a new edition of the Média Morning. Here are the headlines.
00:22The Moroccan Presidency of the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union for the month of March, a renewed commitment in favor of peace and stability in Africa.
00:37Three dead in an Israeli strike in southern Beirut. The Lebanese Prime Minister denounces a blatant violation of the CCCF.
00:46And then the Chinese army announced this Tuesday that it had mobilized ground, naval and air forces around Taiwan for large-scale military maneuvers simulating a blockade of the island.
01:02The Moroccan Presidency of the Council of Peace and Security of the African Union for the month of March, a renewed commitment in favor of peace and stability in Africa.
01:21Thus, important themes such as artificial intelligence and its impact on peace, security or climate change were at the heart of the debates during this presidency.
01:32In addition, the Council of Peace and Security has convened, under Moroccan presidency, informal consultations with countries in political transition.
01:43And it is taken from the security situation that lies ahead for Sudan and southern Sudan.
01:48In the extension of the enlightened vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, who has always called on his wishes for an Africa that believes in its ability to take its destiny into its own hands,
02:00the Moroccan presidency was marked by the organization of a ministerial meeting on artificial intelligence and its impact on peace and security.
02:13In Lebanon, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam denounced this Tuesday a blatant violation of the ceasefire after an Israeli strike on the southern border of Beirut,
02:24four months after the agreement that put an end to the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
02:29This strike constitutes a blatant violation of the agreements on the cessation of hostilities of the UN Security Council Resolution 1701,
02:40which put an end to the previous war in 2006 and served as the basis for the ceasefire, which came into force on November 27.
02:47He also called on the allies of Lebanon to support its right to full sovereignty.
02:54And still in the Middle East, the resumption of the Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip caused the death of at least 322 children in 10 days in this Palestinian territory.
03:11I had an announcement made yesterday by UNICEF.
03:14The break-up of the ceasefire and the resumption of intense bombing and ground operations in the Gaza Strip would have caused the death of at least 322 children
03:23and would have injured 609 others, or an average of more than 100 children killed or mutilated in the last 10 days,
03:35wrote the UN Agency for Childhood in a statement.
03:39Israel resumed its military campaign on March 18 with an intense bombing and a new ground offensive.
03:45During two months of strife with Hamas, which came into force on January 19, since the resumption of the offensive,
03:52more than 1,000 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Ministry of Health of the Gaza Strip,
03:58with a total of 50,357 dead since the beginning of the war.
04:09Many voices have risen this Monday in the European extreme right and beyond to denounce the fate of Marine Le Pen,
04:18sentenced by French justice to five years of ineligibility for public money laundering.
04:25Donald Trump compared Monday the sentence of Marine Le Pen to his own judicial affairs in the United States,
04:32assuming that the ineligibility for five years of the leader of the National Assembly was a very important affair.
04:40Billionaire Elon Musk, close advisor to the American president,
04:45joined the critics in fustigating an abuse of the judicial system and warned against a return of fighters.
04:53Former Brazilian President of the extreme right Jair Bolsonaro himself,
04:57sentenced to an ineligibility sentence in Brazil, denounced a persecution of Marine Le Pen.
05:03For his part, the Kremlin has deplored a violation of democratic norms.
05:11Marine Le Pen's political future is stopped by a decision of justice on Monday.
05:17The president of the group of deputies of the National Assembly and one of the favorites of the 2027 presidential election
05:24was found guilty in the trial of the parliamentary assistants.
05:28Collaborators who were actually working for the extreme right party were held accountable by the European Parliament.
05:35In the trial, the court highlighted Marine Le Pen's central role in this system set up to divert money from the European Parliament.
05:45It is an absolutely vicious circle and I find fundamentally that the blow that has been given today is a blow to democracy.
05:56Concretely, this sentence means that Marine Le Pen remains a deputy,
06:00but that she will not be able to present herself to the French presidential election for the next five years.
06:05She has also been sentenced to four years in prison, including two farms,
06:09furnished with electronic bracelets and 100,000 euros in fines.
06:14There was not, for the court, a single discussion, a single hesitation.
06:19As far as the statement of guilt is concerned, and in my place, that's what I was looking for.
06:27Well, I believe that the judiciary of Paris has a risk of recidivism,
06:31and therefore I apply the provisional execution on the additional penalty of ineligibility.
06:35This decision compromises Marine Le Pen's candidacy for the 2027 presidential election and the next legislative elections.
06:43Guilty of public money laundering and accomplices of public money laundering,
06:48the court estimated that the total loss was 2.9 million euros.
06:54Marine Le Pen is no longer a European deputy.
06:56The European Parliament has not reproached us for ten years.
06:59From the moment we were told that there was not the same conception of us as parliamentary collaborators,
07:04we can see that there is a political will behind it and that we are well beyond simply saying the law.
07:10Others close to the former patron of the RN have also been convicted in this case.
07:15The mayor of Perpignan was sentenced to six months in prison and three years of ineligibility.
07:21Euro-deputy Catherine Grisset, long-time cabinet chief of Marine Le Pen,
07:25was also sentenced to 12 months in prison and two years of ineligibility for public money laundering.
07:34In Algeria, Tibou Nant acted during a telephone exchange,
07:45a relaunch of the relationship between their two countries after months of crisis
07:53with a resumption of security and migratory cooperation, according to a joint statement.
07:58The head of the French state also reiterated his confidence in the clairvoyance of his Algerian counterpart
08:04and called for a gesture of clemency and humanity towards French-Algerian writers.
08:09Wael Hemsansal was sentenced on Thursday to five years in prison by an Algerian court.
08:18We continue this news with the Chinese army,
08:20which announced this Tuesday that it had mobilized naval and air forces around Taiwan
08:27for large-scale military maneuvers simulating a blockade of the island.
08:32In the initiatives in favor of war-independence, Beijing warned.
08:38The Chinese armed forces are approaching the island of Taiwan
08:42from multiple directions, said the spokesman for the command of the Oriental Theater of the Chinese army,
08:49describing the maneuvers as legitimate and necessary to safeguard sovereignty
08:54and the national unity of China.
08:57In response, Taipei said it had hastened its own aircraft and ships and deployed missile systems.
09:05The Chinese Communist Party has never governed Taiwan,
09:08but claims the archipelago as an integral part of its territory
09:12and does not exclude the use of force to take control of it.
09:17In the news also, Donald Trump made a statement on Sunday
09:25of his anger at his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
09:30The American president expressed his frustration at the blockade
09:34for a ceasefire agreement between the two countries
09:37and threatened Russia with additional taxes on oil.
09:43The American president is becoming more and more frustrated
09:47by the lack of progress in his efforts to negotiate a peace agreement in Ukraine.
09:52Donald Trump said he was very angry and furious against his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin
09:57for questioning Vladimir Zelensky's credibility.
10:01The Russian president had suggested organizing a democratic presidential election
10:06that would be based on the arrival in power of a competent government in Kiev.
10:11If Russia and I fail to reach an agreement to put an end to the bloodshed in Ukraine,
10:16probably because of Russia, which may not be the case,
10:19I will impose secondary tariffs on all oil from Russia.
10:23On Saturday, the Ukrainian president had also made a statement
10:27of his frustration with treacherous negotiations.
10:31Vladimir Zelensky estimated that Russia had not provided adequate answers to American initiatives.
10:38The Russian president reacted after the anger of the American president
10:42by the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
10:46The latter made it known that Vladimir Putin remains open to any contact with President Trump.
10:52We are working to implement certain ideas in connection with the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict.
10:57The president remains absolutely open to contact with President Donald Trump.
11:01The next call between the two leaders has not yet been planned,
11:04but it will be organized quite quickly if necessary.
11:08On their side, the ministers of foreign affairs of Europe held a meeting on Monday in Madrid
11:14on Ukraine, where they called on Russia to accept and cease fire.
11:19The European diplomat Kaja Kalas called on Russia to show good will
11:24and asked the United States to put pressure on the Kremlin
11:27to put an end to this bloody conflict that has been going on for three years.
11:31As for the deployment of peacekeeping troops in Ukraine,
11:35Polish Foreign Minister Radas Lossikorski said he would come back to Kiev to decide
11:41when and if foreign troops should be deployed on its soil.
11:49We are now interested in the presidential election in Gabon,
11:52which arouses many expectations among the population.
11:56These expectations vary depending on the political, economic and social issues of the country.
12:03I invite you to listen to Gnewanel Otondo,
12:08President of the Citizens' Expertise Association in Africa and Europe,
12:13who comes back to the expectations of the Gabonese for this presidential election,
12:18especially vis-à-vis governance and electoral transparency.
12:23Well, listen, as you heard earlier in the report,
12:26the expectations are many.
12:28The presidential campaign, which was launched on March 29,
12:33will certainly be short, but very intense,
12:36with regard to the different issues and themes addressed,
12:40namely economic development, land development, energy issues,
12:45everything related to income-generating activities, unemployment.
12:49I come from a very kind economic capital,
12:53which used to be very prosperous thanks to the oil industry.
12:56But today we have an unemployment rate,
12:58especially among young people, which is close to 40%.
13:01So the expectations are many.
13:03And precisely, the candidates are really expected on these different issues.
13:10And Mr. Odingi, Brice Clotaire, Odingi Nguema,
13:14said earlier, during his last interview,
13:16that his opponent is young people's unemployment.
13:19So these issues are widely expected by the population,
13:24and we are waiting for the different candidates
13:26around these different issues.
13:29The world of work is in full swing,
13:32and with it the question of social justice.
13:36How to guarantee fair working conditions
13:39while meeting economic requirements?
13:42This is the whole issue of an interregional conference
13:45organized in Beijing by the International Labour Organization,
13:49where unions, governments and employers
13:52are thinking about a new social contract
13:55to better protect African workers.
13:57Our correspondents Elberchel and Herman Dogo
13:59give us the interview.
14:03The world of work is in full swing,
14:05and with it the question of social justice.
14:08How to guarantee fair working conditions
14:11while meeting economic requirements?
14:13This is the whole issue of an interregional conference
14:16organized in Beijing by the International Labour Organization,
14:19where unions, governments and employers
14:22are thinking about a new social contract
14:24to better protect African workers.
14:27Governments, employers and workers
14:30have to work hand in hand
14:32so that our economic systems
14:34are more capable of meeting the needs
14:37of citizens and workers,
14:43to create quality jobs
14:46and to be able to prevent and address
14:49the consequences of technological changes
14:52and climate change.
14:55At the heart of the discussions,
14:57the challenges of the labor market in Africa
14:59and the need to protect workers
15:01from economic mutations.
15:03Decisions are often made,
15:05recommendations are made,
15:07but they are not applied.
15:10If you go to Geneva,
15:12you will see that recommendations
15:14and appeals are made
15:16to ratify a certain number of conventions.
15:19They are not all ratified,
15:21and this is the problem of implementation.
15:23But also to find a new model
15:27of taking charge
15:30at the level of the National Social Security Board,
15:33but also at the level
15:35of the National Social Provision Board.
15:38The Guinean government must be able
15:40to take universal charge
15:42because we have the possibility
15:44to do so,
15:46we have the necessary resources.
15:48Faced with these issues,
15:50African states must find a balance
15:52between social justice
15:54and economic growth
15:56to build a sustainable future of work.
15:58As part of this new social contract,
16:01institutions such as the OIT,
16:04which defend social justice,
16:06must fully play their role
16:08in making social protection
16:11a reality in Africa,
16:13like in Western countries.
16:15The relatively high rate
16:17of informal employment in Africa
16:19should not be an obstacle
16:21to the extension of social protection.
16:24This meeting marks a key step
16:26in the redefinition of the social contract
16:28to better meet the aspirations
16:30of African workers.
16:33Now, the best of the guests
16:35of Mediantv.
16:46First of all, we must re-establish the steps.
16:50The government came after
16:52the constitutional declaration
16:54and also before the constitution
16:57of a legislative council
16:59which will be named by a third
17:01by the interim president
17:03and by two thirds
17:05by a commission
17:07which he will also name.
17:09This is one step in another.
17:11Like other steps,
17:13everything is linked.
17:15It is important
17:17that we go from the temporary phase
17:19to a transition phase.
17:21The government arrived
17:23a month late
17:25compared to the scheduled date.
17:27It is an important step
17:29Now,
17:31we are waiting for the next one
17:33to name the legislative council.
17:35This way,
17:37we will have all the elements
17:39to start a transition phase
17:41with all the tools in place.
17:43In fact,
17:45the action will be judged
17:47by all the interactions
17:49of all the tools between them.
18:00Well, I think
18:02that both President Macron
18:04and British Prime Minister
18:06Starmer
18:08anticipated
18:10a European participation
18:12to a force
18:14of peace
18:16after the signing
18:18of the peace agreement,
18:20obviously,
18:22and that other European countries
18:24are not ready
18:26to put themselves
18:28in this position.
18:30In fact,
18:32most of the European countries,
18:34at least those who count,
18:36are members of NATO.
18:38Russia does not want
18:40NATO countries
18:42to be guarantors
18:44of a peace agreement
18:46simply because Russia
18:48considers them as co-belligerents
18:50with Ukraine,
18:52since they provide them
18:54with information,
18:56a peace agreement
18:58would necessarily
19:00lead to the deployment
19:02of forces that would not be
19:04NATO forces,
19:06which could be Indian,
19:08Chinese, African,
19:10whatever, but especially not
19:12Ottoman.
19:16So, to answer
19:18which elements are our allies
19:20the week after Ramadan,
19:22the answer is very simple.
19:24In Ramadan, we have to go back
19:26to the basics, to simplicity,
19:28no need for complex recipes
19:30or exotic food,
19:32what our body needs
19:34is regularity and real ingredients.
19:36So, I recommend
19:38to apply what I call
19:40the balanced plate law.
19:42It is a simple, visual rule
19:44that everyone can understand.
19:46In a normal plate,
19:48half of the plate must contain
19:50vegetables, green salad,
19:52or sautéed vegetables, or soup.
19:54The other half of the plate
19:56must contain whole grains,
19:58whole bread,
20:00or breadcrumbs.
20:02The other half, we must not forget,
20:04contains lean proteins, eggs,
20:06fish, and chicken without skin.
20:08But, of course, we must not forget
20:10the good fats, which are essential
20:12for a balanced plate.
20:14For example, a tablespoon of
20:16olive oil or colza,
20:18which provide the essential fatty acids
20:20that our body needs.
20:22At the end of a meal,
20:24we close with a seasonal fruit.
20:26Of course, dairy products
20:28have their place in this diet,
20:30provided that we take care of them.
20:38This concludes this edition.
20:42Enjoy the rest of the program.
