00:00Welcome to this new edition of Media Morning, here are the headlines.
00:20In the Middle East, the civil defense of Gaza announced that 40 people had been killed
00:26and 60 injured in the humanitarian zone of Al-Mawassi, in Khan Younes, on Monday night
00:33to Tuesday in an Israeli attack.
00:35In Nigeria, an explosion caused by a collision between a tanker truck and a truck carrying
00:44passengers and cattle killed at least 79 people.
00:52And in the 2025 Cannes Olympics, the Moroccan national football team won a short victory
01:02against its counterpart Lesotho by 1 goal to 0, we will talk about it in a moment.
01:11Before developing all these titles, know first that His Majesty, King Mohammed VI,
01:17addressed congratulations to the Moroccan Paralympic champion.
01:21It was created during the Paralympic Games Paris 2024.
01:26In these messages, His Majesty the King expressed to the athletes his warm congratulations,
01:32saluting their beautiful performance, which represents a real honor for themselves and
01:38for Moroccan sport, wishing them full success in their promising sporting career,
01:44animated by the same will, the same determination and the same ambition in order to always
01:49highlight the national colors during international competitions.
01:58The work of the 57th Ordinary Session of the Council of Human Rights of the United Nations
02:03opened on Monday in Geneva under the presidency of Morocco,
02:08presiding over the inaugural session of this event,
02:11Ambassador Hamas Nebel, permanent representative of Morocco
02:14near the office of the United Nations in Geneva, is president of the Council of Human Rights.
02:20As of 2024, he presented the agenda of the session and reviewed a series of questions
02:26of organization and procedure before declaring the session open.
02:31Hamas Nebel then gave the floor to the High Commissioner of the United Nations for Human Rights,
02:37Volker Türk, who presented the update of his annual report on the situation of human rights
02:42in the world. During these five weeks of session, the Council will examine more than 80 reports
02:49presented by the Secretariat of the United Nations and the High Commissioner of the UN
02:55by human rights experts and by other investigative bodies
02:59related to the situation of human rights in nearly 50 countries.
03:04Torrential rains fell on the southeast of the kingdom.
03:14The last report of the Ministry of the Interior states that 18 dead and 4 missing,
03:2010 in the province of Tata, 2 in Atiznit, 2 in Atinrir, 1 in Atarudin and 3 in Rachidia.
03:29Three foreigners were counted among the victims.
03:33The volume of rainfall recorded in two days is equivalent to that experienced by normal people
03:42during a whole year. Roads cut, houses collapsed,
03:48telecommunications networks affected, the damage is considerable
03:53and services have been mobilized to assist the population of the affected areas.
04:0150 road crossings out of 57 damaged by floods and rains have been reopened.
04:23At 5 p.m. on Monday, the Ministry of Equipment and Water,
04:27the rains and storms experienced by the kingdom from September 6 to 9
04:31have led to the interruption of traffic on 57 road crossings in the provinces of Dasazag,
04:37Alhaus, Moulmant, Atarudin, Atinrir, Sidi Ifni, Shishawa, Figig, Tata, Zagora, Gelmim, Midlt
04:44and Ouarzazate. The Ministry of Equipment and Water remains mobilized
04:51to open the road crossings as soon as possible.
04:54In particular, the national road No. 10 between Buarfa and Buanen
04:58and the national road No. 12 between Fungs Gate and Zagora concludes the communiqué.
05:07Let's still talk about a time of peril.
05:08The passage of Typhoon Yagi in northern Vietnam killed 63 people and 40 disappeared.
05:14This is what the Vietnamese government said on Tuesday,
05:18reviewing a previous report of 59 deaths.
05:21Floods and landslides caused by the violent storm also injured 750 people,
05:28said those responsible for natural disasters in a report.
05:33Yagi, which hit land on Saturday morning,
05:36before weakening on Sunday evening,
05:39is considered by meteorologists as the most powerful typhoon
05:43that has hit the north of the country in the last 30 years.
05:47The storm caused the collapse of bridges, damaged factories
05:52and tore the roofs of houses and many trees,
05:57with landslides exceeding 149 km per hour.
06:06In the Middle East, the civil defense of Gaza announced that 40 people had been killed
06:11and 60 injured in the humanitarian zone of al-Mawassi in Khan Younes
06:15on Monday night in an attack that Israel presents
06:19as directed against a Hamas command center.
06:23The striking formed large craters in the humanitarian zone,
06:27said the civil defense, the organization in charge of the emergency services.
06:31Entire families disappeared in Gaza
06:35in the massacre of al-Mawassi in Khan Younes
06:39under the sand in deep holes,
06:42said another spokesman of the civil defense, Mahmoud Bassal.
06:46In a statement, the Israeli army said it had targeted this area
06:50after identifying the presence of Hamas personnel there.
06:55For its part, the Palestinian movement denied having fighters in the humanitarian zone.
07:02It is a very long-awaited duel between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in the United States
07:08on Tuesday night during a decisive debate in Pennsylvania,
07:13one of the determining states,
07:16in view of the scrutiny of the next 5th of November,
07:19with Emma Fickley for more details.
07:24Two totally different styles oppose each other.
07:28One is a former prosecutor, known for his firmness.
07:32The other, a businessman and a former reality TV presenter.
07:36Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will face each other on Tuesday
07:40during an extremely long-awaited debate.
07:42The former Republican president and the American vice president
07:46will meet for the very first time
07:49at the beginning of their confrontation scheduled at 9 p.m. local time on the ABC channel.
07:54Generally, I think it's going to be interesting to watch.
08:09All parties have to say that.
08:25But I'm so fed up with Trump's wickedness and all the rest
08:28that I can't wait to know Harris' point of view on the creation of more peace.
08:33While the former Republican president has multiplied public appearances,
08:38his rival has spent most of the last three days
08:41in Pennsylvania with his preparation team.
08:46Pennsylvania with its 19 votes in the electoral college
08:49and its tendency to switch from one side to the other
08:52is one of the most coveted swing states.
08:55Polls give the advantage to the Democrat,
08:58who has completely re-mobilized his party,
09:00but who still has to make himself known to a large part of the population,
09:04including the Republicans,
09:06whose electoral base did not seem to begin
09:09neither by its judicial disputes nor by its decoupled statements.
09:13The suspense remains at its peak.
09:16What these thugs have done to my family.
09:47The number of deaths is rising to 59.
09:49New victims could be discovered as the evacuation
09:54of the accident takes place.
09:56Accidents are frequent on the roads of Nigeria,
09:59largely due to speed excesses and disrespect of the road code.
10:04Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Dettinobu
10:07asked transport agencies and road infrastructure agencies on Monday
10:12to double efforts to improve the safety of travelers and residents in a communiqué.
10:23We are still in Nigeria,
10:25where the launch of the local gas market
10:28produced by the new refinery in Dangote is expected.
10:32The company began processing gas last Monday
10:37after delays caused by two recent shortages of raw milk.
10:41Details with our correspondent Gilbert Tamba.
10:46The refinery in Dangote, with a capacity of 650,000 barrels per day,
10:51began producing gas earlier this week,
10:54hoping to put an end to decades of dependence on imports
10:59that cost billions of dollars a year.
11:02This is a sample of the European gas.
11:18Petrol, where the engines of your vehicles will last longer.
11:26Nigerians now place their hopes in the new private refinery
11:31built by one of Africa's richest men.
11:34An important step for Nigeria,
11:36which, although it is the largest producer of African crude oil,
11:40imports all its refined fuel.
11:42That is our expectation.
11:44We hope for a change, but I don't know if that will be the case.
11:47I am not in Dangote.
11:49We want things to change, and we have good hope,
11:51because we now have a refinery in Nigeria that produces,
11:54and we are waiting for the price to drop.
11:56It has to change.
11:59We don't know exactly how long the Nigerians will have to wait
12:03to see the availability of gas or a price drop.
12:07The NNPC now claims that it will not be the only gas buyer
12:11in the refinery in Dangote.
12:13The new refinery had declared that the NNPC
12:16would be the only buyer of its gas,
12:18and that the government would set the prices.
12:20No, that's not right.
12:22No, that's not right, because it's supposed to be a refinery
12:26No, that's not right, because it's supposed to be an independent refinery
12:29and not a governmental refinery,
12:31so I don't think it's fair.
12:33We will have to monitor the production to make sure
12:35that this refinery produces quality fuel.
12:38But I don't think it's appropriate to let them negotiate the price,
12:41because the price of the fuel we are suffering today
12:44may continue to rise over time.
12:51The NNPC increased the price of gasoline this week
12:54from an average of 617 Naira per litre to 897 Naira.
13:00The refinery in Dangote promises to initially supply
13:0325 million litres of gasoline per day on the market
13:06for this month,
13:08to 30 million litres from October.
13:12Let's go to Senegal,
13:14where President Bassirou Diomayfay
13:17set the date of September 13
13:20for the declaration of the general policy
13:23of Prime Minister Ousmane Sanko.
13:26However, a question arises
13:28regarding the dissolution of parliament
13:31within which the power does not belong to the majority.
13:34Marie Madiop and Cher Endaou
13:36tried to find answers from the population.
13:41In Senegal, the political confrontation continues
13:44between the parliamentary opposition and the power.
13:47At the heart of this situation
13:49is the declaration of the general policy of the Prime Minister,
13:52the motion of censure by the opposition,
13:55or the dissolution of the National Assembly by the power.
13:59An unprecedented situation
14:01resulting from three years of conflict between the two sides.
14:05It is undoubtedly the extension
14:08of this conflictual, clientelist, political logic
14:12that is expressed at the National Assembly.
14:15It is this contradiction that is still being expressed today
14:19through a conflict that has flourished and flourished
14:23because it is still through artifices,
14:27schemes, laws and regulations
14:31that all this is being expressed.
14:33The challenge of this battle
14:35is the control of the parliamentary institution.
14:37Because we had an alternation in March 2024
14:41with the arrival of new authorities,
14:43but also because these new authorities
14:45do not have a majority in the National Assembly.
14:47Therefore, in order to be able to conduct the reforms
14:51or the electoral promises that have been made,
14:53it would be necessary to have a majority in the Assembly
14:56to conduct these reforms.
14:57For a systemic break,
14:59the authorities announced the dissolution of the National Assembly
15:03scheduled for the constitutional date of September 12,
15:07a decision that will be followed
15:10by the legislative election organization.
15:13What the constitution says is that in a case of dissolution,
15:16the election takes place 60 days at least or 90 days at most.
15:21So I think that it is the upper limit of 90 days
15:25that will certainly be applied
15:27to allow us to do a little bit of re-management of the electoral calendar.
15:31Because you know, there is the issue of sponsoring,
15:34there is the issue of delaying.
15:36When it comes to sponsoring,
15:38the electoral code says that
15:40it is necessary to take the fixed term,
15:44the file models, etc.
15:46150 days in advance.
15:48However, you see, we are in a delay that is less than 90 days.
15:51For this, but also for the filing of candidacies,
15:56the law says that you have to file the candidacies
15:59at least 95 days before the ballot.
16:03So there is always a delay problem,
16:05even though we have 90 days.
16:07So it will certainly be necessary
16:09that the government can appeal
16:11to consultations with the political class
16:13so that we can perhaps compress the delays.
16:16In Senegal, the power has always been,
16:18by tradition, to maintain control
16:20over the parliamentary institution,
16:23which facilitates the adoption of the reforms
16:25proposed by the executive.
16:29Mamadou Diop, Senegalese historian and editor-in-chief,
16:33returns to what is at the origin
16:35of this political arm-wrestling
16:37between the deputies of the majority opposition
16:39in the Assembly and the power in place.
16:44We are facing a confrontation
16:46between the former majority of the previous power
16:50and the power that has just arrived
16:52and which has no majority
16:54at the level of the National Assembly.
16:56There are several things at stake.
16:58The power that has just arrived
17:00wants to dissolve the High Council of Territorial Collectivities
17:03and the Economic and Social Council,
17:05which are two institutions
17:07where the majority of the former power
17:09also finds itself in the majority
17:11in these institutions.
17:13The current power, it is clear,
17:15will dissolve the National Assembly.
17:17This is the date that we do not know yet.
17:20And the deputies who are in the majority
17:22belonging to the former power
17:24want at all costs
17:26that the current Prime Minister
17:28presents his General Policy Statement in front of them.
17:30Unfortunately for them,
17:32when President Macky Sall
17:34had reformed the institutions of Senegal
17:36and had removed the post of Prime Minister,
17:38this had been removed from the internal regulation
17:40of the National Assembly.
17:42When President Macky Sall
17:44brought back the post of Prime Minister,
17:46this had not been done.
17:48The current Prime Minister played on this
17:50to not present himself at the Assembly.
17:52Of course, the President of the Republic
17:54asks him to go and present himself
17:56at the Assembly on the 13th,
17:58but it turns out that on the 12th
18:00the National Assembly of Senegal
18:02will be two years old,
18:04and with these two years,
18:06the President of the Republic
18:08is able to dissolve the Assembly.
18:10A detail that people forget.
18:12During the meeting at the level of the Assembly
18:14where it was necessary to dissolve
18:16the High Council of Territorial Collectivities
18:18and the Economic and Social Council,
18:20we voted against.
18:22We did not dissolve these institutions.
18:24In his last speech,
18:26the President of the Parliamentary Group
18:28of the former majority
18:30decided to introduce
18:32a motion of censure
18:34to bring down the government of Senegal.
18:36So we are in a real political confrontation
18:38between the majority
18:40of the former power
18:42and a new power that has just arrived
18:44who wants to have a fair shot
18:46at the level of the Assembly
18:48and the majority at the level of the National Assembly.
18:52Pre-school is considered
18:54as a key step in the development
18:56of future generations.
18:58The education sector is the subject
19:00of growing attention
19:02from the government
19:04which strives with school institutions
19:06to provide an environment
19:08of learning for the development
19:10of children from an early age.
19:12Maroua Abdelhalima
19:14and Youssef Ouhmou
19:16will tell us more about this.
19:20Life resumes
19:22in school institutions.
19:24The emphasis is placed
19:26on a rigorous organization
19:28and an environment of learning
19:30with the aim of improving
19:32the quality of education
19:34from the early stages
19:36in order to have educated
19:38and responsible generations.
19:42The launch of this school year
19:44took place in a progressive way.
19:46Today, 80 to 90%
19:48of students have regained their classes.
19:54A colossal effort
19:56in the education sector
19:58has been provided nationally
20:00in a general way
20:02but also at the level
20:04of the Regional Board of Rabat.
20:06The educational offer has been expanded
20:08in public institutions.
20:10Non-structural education
20:12is at 61%
20:14and private education
20:16is estimated at 37%.
20:18Pre-school education
20:20in Morocco has seen considerable
20:22development in recent years
20:24due to the significant increase
20:26in the number of school-aged children.
20:28The number of students enrolled
20:30for the school year has reached
20:32more than 980,000 children
20:34which is an increase of 3.4%
20:36compared to last year.
20:38This step is crucial
20:40for the child.
20:42It helps him to integrate.
20:44The fact that he stays at home
20:46does not allow him to develop
20:48a number of skills.
20:50This sensitive period
20:52must therefore be taken into account
20:54by the parents.
20:58The Ministry of Education
21:00strives to raise the challenges
21:02related to the generalization
21:04of pre-school education
21:06in rural areas.
21:08It also aims to improve
21:10education programs
21:12to adapt them to the needs of children.
21:14This is part of a global vision
21:16aimed at developing the education sector
21:18in the Kingdom.
21:22The Moroccan national football team
21:24has won a short victory
21:26against their homologue Lesotho
21:28by a goal to 0
21:30in a match counting
21:32for the second day of the
21:34Nations Maroc 2025
21:36yesterday evening
21:38at the Grand Stade d'Agadir.
21:40From the start of the meeting,
21:42Walid El Gregy's men
21:44showed their
21:46offensive ambition to reach
21:48the opponent's goal
21:50through Ilyas Ahomash,
21:52Amine Hadli and Ayub El Kabi
21:54with two corners
21:56executed in 10 minutes of play.
21:58The team, remodeled by
22:00Walid El Gregy,
22:02had a good start
22:04but lacked
22:06realism.
22:08It took a genius
22:10from Real Madrid's
22:12Brahim Diaz
22:14to finally find
22:16a flaw in Lesotho's
22:18defence in the break.
22:20The other match
22:22will put Gabon
22:24and Central Africa
22:26at stake
22:28on Tuesday.
22:32This is the end
22:34of this edition.
22:38Stay tuned
22:40for more information
