00:00Hello everyone, I am delighted to see you again in this Media Morning. Here are the headlines.
00:22In Senegal, President Bassirou Dioumaïfaye and Leon Marce on the promise of a profound change announced Thursday to dissolve the National Assembly and set legislative elections on Sunday, November 17, 2024.
00:38In the United States, Donald Trump announced yesterday that he would refuse a new debate with his rival Democrat Kamala Harris. During this time, the two candidates continue to skim over the decisive states in view of the presidential election.
00:54In this newspaper also, the Chinese Minister of Defense calls for negotiations to end the war in Ukraine and Gaza during the Chang Chan Forum in Beijing.
01:07In Senegal, President Bassirou Dioumaïfaye and Leon Marce on the promise of a profound change announced Thursday to dissolve the National Assembly and set legislative elections on Sunday, November 17, 2024.
01:26This dissolution aims to give him a stable majority to govern, while the previous legislature, elected in 2022 and dominated by the ass of former President Macky Sall, was hostile to him.
01:38Today, more than ever, the time has come to open a new temporality to our quinquennat, declared on national television the head of the Senegalese state. According to him, the blockades of the last days at the Assembly convinced him that the gage of a frank collaboration with the parliamentary majority was a unison.
01:57Antagonisms between the power and the opposition have hindered the governmental action since the new authorities took office. Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko did not give a general political speech in front of the Assembly despite a threat of motion of censorship filed by the ass of the former regime.
02:15The Assembly had also rejected in early September a dissolution project of two consultative institutions, resulting in an iron fist between the executive and the 14th legislature.
02:25I invite you to listen to the Senegalese president, Bassirou Diomayfaye.
02:29I dissolve the National Assembly to ask the sovereign people the institutional means that will allow me to give body to the systemic transformation that I have promised them.
02:42Today, more than ever, the time has come to open a new temporality to our quinquennat.
02:50Article 3 of our constitution recalls that national sovereignty belongs to the people.
02:56Therefore, the people is invited to resume their titles of authority and to decide sovereignly whether the National Assembly must reflect the profound aspirations of change that were expressed on the evening of March 24, 2024, or whether it must remain the last blocking avatar of a broken regime.
03:21And still in Senegal, 39 migrant bodies were repatriated by the firefighters.
03:27This is due to the shipwreck of their pirogue. These migrants are heading for Europe.
03:32Failed off the coast of Mbour, on the small Senegal coast, research is being pursued by the national navy and firefighters.
03:39The President of the Republic, Bassirou Diomayfaye, went to Mbour to learn about the situation.
03:44This is a report signed by Audasso.
03:49After the death of 39 irregular migrants in the Senegal, this is due to the shipwreck of a pirogue of migrants off the coast of Mbour, on the small coast, of which the visit of President Faye in the locality.
04:04It belongs to us here, all, men and women, young and adults, rulers and citizens, to put ourselves around a construction project of this country and to believe in hope, to believe in the possibility of changing by ourselves and for ourselves the face of our country.
04:31The government is working tirelessly to implement adequate public policies to give jobs to young people here in Senegal and to invite them to the reconstruction of our country.
04:49It is our responsibility to all.
04:53I would also like to call on families to put less pressure on these young people.
05:00Opportunity seized by the head of the Senegalese state to invite the population to the denunciation, a way to support the authorities in the fight against the phenomenon.
05:11In the next few days, the government will put in place a green number, because there can be no departure in the conditions in which people take the sea without knowing anything about it.
05:23But they must not shut up, because when they shut up, it is hundreds of young people who lose their lives and it is these young people who must rebuild the country, it is these young people who build hope.
05:34So the forces of law are doing a remarkable job, but it is necessary that the population, when this green number is put in place, that they start denouncing the migration routes and denouncing all those who are sending young people to the waves of death.
05:52It is necessary that young people and the population understand that the situation that has taken the sea for these young people for years cannot be resolved overnight.
06:03This drama occurred in Senegal following the hijacking of a migrant boat to Europe.
06:11After the discovery of 39 bodies, the Senegalese navy continues its research. Many people have still been carried away. The captain of the boat, meanwhile, has been put on hold.
06:25So there will be no other debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The former president rejected the idea defended by his democratic rival yesterday, while both continued to squander the decisive states in view of the presidential election.
06:39There will be no third debate in Senegal, the Republican candidate on his social media platform, counting his televised exchange in June against President Joe Biden.
06:49So again, candidate, in addition to his confrontation on Tuesday with the vice president, accompanies North Carolina, a state where it relies on the voices of African-Americans and young people to win against Donald Trump.
07:02The 59-year-old Democrat, on the contrary, judged that the voters deserved a second debate.
07:09And in the news, the Chinese Minister of Defense, Deng Jun, said on Friday at the Shanghai Forum that negotiations are the only solution to the war in Gaza and Ukraine, in front of an assembly of military leaders from all over the world in Beijing.
07:33Deng Jun called on all countries in the world to promote peaceful development and inclusive governance. He also denounced the proliferation of national security concepts and asked that new technologies could benefit humanity better, seemingly referring to attempts by the United States to prevent Beijing from accessing cutting-edge technologies.
07:58The Changshan Forum welcomes more than 500 representatives from more than 90 countries and organizations for three days. The agenda includes relations between China and the United States, security in Europe and Asia, and security issues in a multipolar world.
08:20In Tunisia, lawyers are very angry. A few weeks before the presidential election, they met to denounce the sentence to eight months in prison for their counselor Sonia Dahmany. This lawyer and columnist was arrested for critical remarks at the meeting of President Kays Seyed.
08:44After being sentenced to eight months in prison, the National Union of Tunisian Lawyers raises the time in solidarity with lawyer and columnist Sonia Dahmany and announces the escalation and decides a series of protest movements to demand the independence of justice.
09:06During a press conference, lawyers denounced a judicial harassment, emphasizing that the judgment against lawyer and columnist Sonia Dahmany was made in the absence of trial.
09:18For the day of her hearing on August 20, she underwent a very deep and too intimate search, respecting the procedure, how it should be and the regulations.
09:32For the hearing, we think that the defense was not respected, Sonia could not defend herself and the lawyers could not plead as the law requires, as the conventions of human rights and as the constitution, since everyone has the right to access justice.
09:53Lawyers also decided to organize protests in front of the Palace of Justice in Tunis and in the seats of the first instance courts, with a follow-up of the other regional sections, on September 18, 2024, and also decided to boycott the requisitions and judicial aid for a week from September 16.
10:18Today, a few weeks before the elections, the current judicial situation is deteriorating. The situation has even become frightening and it is not possible to organize fair and democratic elections in such a situation.
10:33Before the elections, the President should have graced all the prisoners of opinion, imprisoned in virtue of Decree No. 54.
10:45On his side, the President of the Tunisian Journalist Union announced the launch of an international campaign of solidarity with the prisoners of opinion, including journalists and politicians.
10:58A step that reflects the growing pressure exerted by civil society a few weeks before the presidential elections.
11:08In the Baroque, the Council of Governments met yesterday. The novelties of the return to school were at the heart of an exhibition of the Ministry of Health.
11:19On-site supervision was examined and a law decree was adopted, completing the law bearing the code of the drug. The Council also examined and adopted five decree projects.
11:32One of these projects focuses on the application of the provisions of the law relating to the self-production of electricity in the smart meter.
11:42It is also worth noting the adoption of the decree for the creation of the French export zone of City Automotive.
11:49We are still in Morocco, where more than 431,000 widows with 158,000 children living in urban and rural areas have benefited from direct social assistance.
12:07This is reflected in the figures released on Thursday by the Government's spokesperson for Moustapha Beytas. The implementation of this royal program has allowed these widows to benefit from a fixed aid of a minimum of 500 dirhams.
12:22Moustapha Beytas added that this aid will increase gradually each year to reach 1,233 dirhams, according to the number of children by 2025, in the perspective of reaching 1,308 dirhams by 2026.
12:37Staying in the Kingdom, a year after the earthquake in Al-Hawz, the authorities are accelerating the pace of reconstruction, for example in the town of Hasni, where important work has been carried out.
12:58In Hasni, with unwavering determination, post-seismic reconstruction is progressing. The town of Hasni, located in the province of Al-Hawz, shows significant progress in the reconstruction efforts after the earthquake of September 8.
13:13The houses, partially destroyed, are being restored again thanks to the perseverance and determination of the inhabitants and local authorities. This extensive site benefits from rigorous monitoring, thus ensuring all conditions of success.
13:31We have benefited from state support. Thanks to him, I am rebuilding my house, as you can see. I thank the architects and local authorities who accompany us as we go.
13:44The notable progress in the region is the result of hard and continuous work carried out by local authorities in close collaboration with various departments and partners.
13:54The local population, directly affected by the earthquake, is actively participating in the reconstruction, aspiring to a decent housing.
14:02I live to remember the memories of the earthquake. I pray day and night to help us resume the normal course of life. I look forward to everything returning to normal and my house being completed.
14:18The local authorities of Hasni are mobilized to overcome the obstacles encountered. They ensure meticulous monitoring of the sites and regular visits to ensure compliance with the construction with urbanism and local landscape.
14:30Their commitment is constant, guided by the high instructions of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI. Their goal is to guarantee a life worthy of the sinister and to meet their needs.
14:41I would also like to point out to you that Morocco has registered its first confirmed case of monkey fever.
14:48An announcement made by the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, which was recorded in Marrakech, was detected thanks to the protocols established by the Kingdom.
15:00According to the same source, the patient receives medical care in one of the city's specialized medical centers and is in a stable state of health, which does not justify concern.
15:11The Ministry assures citizens and calls on them to follow the recommended preventive measures, namely to wash their hands regularly, avoid direct contact with people infected or suspected of being infected, and follow personal hygiene.
15:28Moussa Fakih, the president of the African Union Commission will be in Abidjan in favor of the Abidjan Frontier Forum. What is the objective of this meeting, scheduled for next October?
15:40The answer, of course, is from Max Souhobi.
15:45At the 36th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union, held in 2023 in Disabeba, the African Union had announced the co-organization with the National Commission on the Borders of the Ivory Coast of the 2024 edition of the Abidjan Border Forum.
16:01The meeting, which will make Abidjan the capital of the African borders, from October 23 to October 5, constitutes a real exchange platform on the problem of exchanges in a continuous and integrated momentum.
16:13The idea is to develop links around borders, social links, economic and political links.
16:20Abidjan Border Forum aims to develop the active life of borders, to make them places of production of the State and instruments of struggle against the multiform fragilities, transnational, social, economic, political, security and environmental.
16:38Abidjan Border Forum constitutes a real exchange platform that is offered to national, international, civil society, practitioners and universities.
16:53Abidjan's meeting offers enormous social and economic potential and opportunities within the framework of sub-regional and African integration.
17:02The choice of the Ivory Coast to hold a periodic meeting called Abidjan Border Forum coincides with a decision made by the African Union Commission to institutionalize an international meeting on the African interstate borders.
17:29The theme of this edition is Green Borders, shared natural resources and security challenges.
17:36The inaugural conference will be led by the President of the African Union Commission.
17:42A meeting was initiated on the Abidjan Convention on Cooperation in the Protection and Management of the Marine and Coastal Environment in several African countries initiated by the UN Environment.
17:56This forum allowed several personalities to speak on the importance of this convention adopted in 1983.
18:04The report by Hippolyte Didier and Ange Wilfred.
18:08Africa is affected by the environmental crisis, i.e. the loss of biodiversity, climate change and pollution.
18:16The coastal marine areas, due to inter-collections favored by rivers and streams with terrestrial environments, are currently impacted.
18:25A round table was initiated by the Abidjan Convention to renew the commitment and highlight the ambition of parties and partners to use their tools of cooperation to protect, preserve and sustainably develop the area affected by this convention.
18:40To align the positions of the countries of the Abidjan Convention on two international instruments, namely the High Sea Treaty, i.e. areas beyond national jurisdiction.
18:53The second point is on plastic pollution. As you know, there are discussions underway today so that we can have a legally binding treaty on plastic pollution before the end of 2024.
19:07The Abidjan Convention is of great importance for the African Minister of Environment.
19:11This is why, during this meeting, they felt that it was necessary to take action to revitalize it.
19:18This natural potential needs to be better managed and it is this management framework that the Abidjan Convention offers.
19:28Through the main themes that it addresses in its provisions, including prevention and the fight against pollution, the monitoring of anthropic activities likely to be at the origin of coastal erosion.
19:46Until the signing of the treaty, diplomatic representatives had been put at the forefront of the system.
19:53That's good, but one does not exclude the other.
19:56Beyond diplomatic representation, it is necessary to involve more the services that deal with the management of the environment.
20:05The Abidjan Convention on Cooperation in Protection, Management and Valuation of the Maritime and Coastal Environment of the Atlantic Coast of Western Africa, Central and Eastern Africa,
20:17was adopted on March 23, 1981 and came into force on May 5, 1983.
20:23It covers a geographical area of 22 countries and a coastline of more than 14,000 km.
20:30Opening yesterday in Morocco of the work of the General Assembly of FIF Pro-Africa.
20:35For two days, the professional players' union in its African division will address various topics,
20:42including the increasingly busy international calendar.
20:48With the support of the General Assembly of FIF Pro-Africa, Rabat becomes the capital of African football.
20:53This gathering of the African professional players' union takes place in a context of growing tensions.
20:59Leagues and players express their discontent with the multiplication of international matches, which overloads an already well-filled calendar.
21:10This international conclave intervenes on the basis of multiple national football exploits.
21:15Currently, we are harvesting the fruits of the model developed by His Majesty the King Mohammed VI
21:20and arranged with brilliance by the Federation, with the participation of all its components.
21:25The importance of the work carried out by Morocco and all its bodies is the ability,
21:31in a united and concerted way, to ensure the protection of footballers.
21:38Why is it important? We have already said it, the Moroccan results from a sporting point of view are extremely good.
21:44But what is important to understand is that when you ensure the protection of footballers
21:49and that you try to put them in the best human and social conditions,
21:57to ensure their development as men and as footballers,
22:03you make men stronger and you will guarantee them success or at least more chances of success.
22:10I also take this opportunity to congratulate and encourage all the authorities of Moroccan football,
22:23starting with the first sportsman, who is the King of Morocco,
22:28who never ceases to put his love and resources through the national team
22:35to achieve these brilliant results that we have all seen at the World Cup recently, a few years ago.
22:46President Legdia, who is also doing a huge job at the Moroccan Royal Federation,
22:53is also doing a huge job at the Moroccan Royal Federation.
22:59Point d'orgue de ce conclave, les responsables de la FIFPro ont abordé des sujets comme la gestion de carrière,
23:05les bonnes pratiques et le dialogue, des sujets indispensables pour permettre aux footballeurs africains
23:10d'exprimer leurs talons dans les meilleures conditions, tant au niveau local qu'international.
23:17Voilà, c'est la fin de ce grand journal de Medien TV Morning.
23:20Voici, on se retrouve dans un instant.
