00:38Israel continues its air strikes on the east and south of Lebanon. The Israeli government rejects international calls for de-escalation and promises to fight Hezbollah until victory.
00:51Morocco is qualified for the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Futsal. The Lyon-Goethe-Lac team won 4-3 against Iran. We'll talk about this at the end of the news.
01:02On high alert, the Moroccan government launched in the south-east of the country a program to rehabilitate the affected areas. The global budget allocated to the implementation of this program is about 2.5 billion dirhams.
01:22Morocco launches a program to rehabilitate the affected areas by flooding.
01:28On high alert, the government launched a program to rehabilitate the affected areas by flooding due to heavy and exceptional rainfall, which caused human losses and material damage in the provinces of Tarachidia, Midelt, Ouarzazate, Tinrir, Zagora, Figig, Jrada, Tcharoudant, Tata, Tiznit, Gelmim and Assazak.
01:51The global budget allocated to the implementation of this program is about 2.5 billion dirhams.
01:57In accordance with the directive of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, the government has mobilized important human and logistical resources to respond effectively to the needs of the affected populations.
02:07The various ministerial departments concerned are involved to ensure the rapid and efficient implementation of this program.
02:14The program also includes the reconstruction of damaged housing and buildings, as well as the rehabilitation of road infrastructure, telecommunications networks, electricity distribution, drinking water and sanitation systems.
02:28Specific support is also intended for the agricultural sector, in particular through the restoration of small and medium-sized hydraulic works and support for farmers who have lost their shepherds due to floods.
02:41Denmark considers the autonomy plan presented by Morocco in 2007 as a serious and credible contribution, but also a good basis for a different artificial solution around the Moroccan Sahara.
02:53A position expressed yesterday by the head of Danish diplomacy, Lars Loke Rasmussen, during an interview with his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Borreta.
03:01Discussions were held during the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly. I invite you to listen to the head of Danish diplomacy.
03:10We support the UN-led process, and we believe that Morocco's position is serious and credible, offering a solid basis for a definitive solution.
03:26We have agreed on excellent bilateral relations, and we have agreed to strengthen them further. There are many opportunities for rapprochement, especially in the renewable energy sector, which has considerable potential in Morocco.
03:42In Morocco, Danish companies that are competitive and influential in this area, such as Copenhagen Partners, are already in direct dialogue with the Moroccan authorities as part of the Offre Maroc programme.
03:55We have explored together the possibilities for direct investment in this promising sector.
04:02In addition, I would like to highlight my long-standing and cordial relations with your Foreign Minister, who has always favoured a fruitful collaboration between our two nations.
04:18Washington has many common interests with Morocco. These are the words of Samuel Werber, who gave an exclusive interview to Median TV. Let's listen to the spokesman of the US Department.
04:31I had the honour of listening to the official speech of the Kingdom of Morocco, given by the head of government, Aziza Hanouche, in which he highlighted the vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI on Morocco's aspirations on major issues, both regionally and internationally.
04:52The United States sees in this speech a convergence of significant interests with the Kingdom of Morocco, notably in the pursuit of efforts to end a global conflict, especially in the Gaza Strip, as well as in the commitment to the reform of international institutions, including the United Nations.
05:12We also agree with the interest and position expressed by Morocco on the importance of South-South cooperation, an initiative shared by the US administration.
05:26This vision recognizes that solutions to contemporary challenges, such as climate change, economic crises and pandemics, will not only come from the United States, but also from other nations, such as Morocco, which has a rich and precious experience that it continues to share with the rest of the world.
05:45This reflects the deep understanding between our two nations, the United States and Morocco, which share many common interests, as confirmed by the speech of the Moroccan delegation, clarifying the enlightened vision of King Mohammed VI.
06:03The Paris Pact aims to establish a policy of international solidarity in order to support vulnerable states in the face of climate change.
06:15Launched last year, this initiative was the subject of a meeting organized by the French president and the special envoy of the Makisal Pact. Morocco is represented there by its head of government, who reiterated Morocco's commitment to contribute to the operationalization of this initiative as part of collective efforts for a more inclusive, fairer and more equitable global governance.
06:38Africa is too often forgotten in international responses, despite the extent of terrorism on the continent.
06:46These were the words yesterday of Nasser Bouletta at the 79th UN General Assembly, an alarming observation by the head of Moroccan diplomacy, who recalled that our continent remained in the front line in the face of the terrorist threat, with nearly 60% of the world's victims in sub-Saharan Africa.
07:02Nasser Bouletta pleaded for strengthening international cooperation in order to provide them with inclusive and effective support.
07:11Abdeltaif Hammouchi continues his visit to the United Arab Emirates.
07:17During the third day of his trip, the Director of National Security and Territorial Surveillance made a visit to the Department of Criminal Security of the Abu Dhabi Police.
07:26This agency is in charge of conducting investigations and criminal investigations and overseeing the fight against drugs, as well as the management of security and public transport.
07:36These meetings were marked by the signing of a joint memorandum of understanding for the consolidation of institutional cooperation links.
07:47Morocco does not want to miss the digital train. The kingdom has also settled well on board and plans to go very far.
07:54The digital Morocco strategy 2030 was unveiled yesterday. The explanations with Al Abney.
08:01240,000 direct jobs in the digital sector and a contribution of 100 billion dirhams to the GDP. These are the key objectives of the digital strategy Morocco 2030,
08:13an initiative that focuses on strengthening the international competitiveness of the kingdom and developing an ecosystem conducive to innovation and digital entrepreneurship.
08:24It is an ambitious strategy. Among its main objectives is the digitization of public services in order to improve their quality and serve the best the citizen.
08:36Among the main axes of this roadmap is the digitization of public services.
08:41Morocco aims to rise among the top 50 countries in the world ranking of online services by 2030.
08:47By 2030, the development of the digital economy is another central pillar, with actions aimed at strengthening the outsourcing sector, supporting start-ups and encouraging the digitization of companies.
09:00This shows the importance that digital will take in our economy, but also of course everything that is creation and the whole ecosystem to attract as many investors as possible.
09:14Regarding start-ups, the objective is to promote the emergence of 3,000 by 2030.
09:20The strategy also focuses on the development of digital talents with the aim of training 100,000 professionals each year.
09:27A particular emphasis is placed on continuous training and professional conversion via boot camps and online intensive training.
09:37For the TEFAL EIEM, an expert in digital, this new roadmap aims to boost a new dynamic in the Moroccan digital economy. I invite you to listen to her.
09:48Talents, human capital, are the engine of this strategy. Digital is above all an economy of knowledge.
09:56This is why the emphasis is placed on training, whether it is initial training.
10:03We signed a convention with the Ministry of Higher Education to increase the number of digital trainees.
10:13We are pleased to see that the number of registrants in this type of training has doubled between last year and this year.
10:21We are focusing on increasing the number of trainees in Moroccan universities in the digital arena.
10:30We are also focusing on upskilling and reskilling, which are short-term trainings to allow young people to take advantage of this digital wave and to participate fully.
10:46Israel promises to fight the Hezbollah until victory.
10:51The Israeli government rejects international calls for de-escalation and continues its air strikes in the east and south of Lebanon for the fourth consecutive day.
11:00The Israeli army carried out dozens of strikes and, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, two people were killed and 15 others injured in a recent attack.
11:08In a strike targeting Beirut, the Israeli army claimed to have killed the head of the Hezbollah drone unit, Mohamed Soror.
11:15This same Israeli strike killed two and injured 15, while in eastern Lebanon, Israeli bombings killed 20.
11:25More than 600 dead in Lebanon since Monday, killed in Israeli bombings, and more than 90,000 people have been displaced, according to the UN.
11:33More than 31,000 people have been displaced to Syria in the face of this escalation.
11:40Many Western Arab countries have called for an immediate ceasefire of 21 days to give a chance to diplomacy.
11:46It is time to reach a settlement at the Lebanese-Israeli border, wrote French and American presidents.
11:51But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the army was continuing its fight against Hezbollah with all the necessary force.
11:59In addition to Lebanon, Israel continues its bombings in the Gaza Strip.
12:04Palestinian authorities have reported 15 people killed in an Israeli strike targeting a school where hundreds of people were taken as refugees.
12:12Israeli attacks have caused nearly 42,000 deaths in the Gaza Strip, with the majority of the victims being civilians.
12:18US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned on Thursday against a total war that would be devastating for Israel and Lebanon.
12:29Mr. Biden wants to support Ukraine as long as he can.
12:33At 39 days of an extremely tight presidential election, the American president announced an increase in aid to security for Ukraine and a series of additional actions to help Kiev win the war.
12:43Volodymyr Zelensky saluted this announcement, which will favor, according to him, the victory of his country.
12:48The Ukrainian president, however, has no green light to fire long-range missiles manufactured by the United States.
12:59Kamala Harris harshly criticized her rival Donald Trump on Wednesday.
13:04The vice-president and Democratic candidate in the November 5 election defended her projects for the world's first global economy and the power to buy Pittsburgh.
13:12The Democrat, for whom life is dear, remains a serious electoral handicap, attacked the assessment of her rival.
13:17Kamala Harris accused Donald Trump of having lost 200,000 industrial jobs to America and assured that China was constantly playing its opponent on a technological and commercial level.
13:31Donald Trump recently described Kamala Harris as a communist.
13:35The latter reacted by announcing that she was a capitalist.
13:38The two rivals continue to launch criticism.
13:40I invite you to listen to the analysis of Mohamed Baddine Lietihoui, a researcher in strategic studies at the National College of Defense of the United Arab Emirates.
13:48As far as her economic program is concerned, to answer you, we see that there is a form of continuity with Joe Biden.
13:55That is, she wants to continue to dig the public deficit and increase public debt, which is already considerable.
14:01It is the most indebted country in the world with 20 billion dollars in debt and a deficit that is digging.
14:06But to continue to finance consumption and finance through tax credits, especially for the youngest and for business creators.
14:15Tax credits also for the purchase of a first house to revive the economy.
14:20The growth under Joe Biden has been quite good.
14:22Joe Biden's problem was inflation and the failure for the moment of his industrial policy.
14:28On a four-year mandate, it is quite difficult to do everything.
14:32The problem is that inflation is at 20%.
14:34This is the first time in recent months that we have an increase in wages that is going faster than that of inflation.
14:41Inflation continues to impact American households.
14:45Kamali Harris knows this and she wants to help the American households, especially the middle classes.
14:53She also wants to increase the taxes of the richest and largest companies, multinationals.
14:58It remains to be seen how Donald Trump will respond to this.
15:01He had left a very good economic situation, which had been affected in the end by Covid and which had made him lose.
15:08We remember that, but he had left a very good image, especially regarding the unemployment rate.
15:13So the real issue for Kamali Harris was to try to distinguish himself and that the Republicans stop.
15:20Because the Republicans will not stop blaming her for the inflation of which she is ultimately in solidarity, that of Joe Biden.
15:26An inflation of 20%.
15:29In Senegal, a round table was organized to discuss the revision of oil, mining and gas contracts.
15:36For the participants, the revision of the contracts will guarantee a fair share of the benefits between the State and investors.
15:42This is a report by Eva Sagna and Bachir Bojan.
15:45It was one of the promises of the current Senegalese president, to renegotiate the oil, mining and gas contracts.
15:53The goal is to make the local populations benefit more.
15:58It is about obtaining agreements that best meet the expectations of Senegalese.
16:03Experts, jurists, economists, environmentalists and specialists in contract negotiations provide insights on this subject.
16:13Often there are validities of contract negotiations, because often the idea is that it is a fundamental change of circumstances
16:23and that generally the new authorities want to review all the contracts that have been negotiated to make sure of what can be qualified,
16:34of the securitization of the economic interests of the State.
16:37These negotiations could be oriented to various areas.
16:42In the mining sector, the price of gold can double due to a certain conjuncture.
16:49At the moment, it is completely bearable.
16:52This is why we consider that more and more, it is not necessary that in Senegalese contracts,
16:56we have clauses that regulate the State, but that we have more and more flexibility clauses,
17:01to be able to adjust a little according to the evolution of the market.
17:07This panel is in the form of a round table.
17:11It brings free participation and provides elements of contribution on the subject.
17:17We ask the new authorities to make this question a priority in the image of the revision of the contracts.
17:26Since 2016, the Constitution has formally devoted the ownership of resources to the people through its Article 16.
17:36The revision of oil, mining and gas contracts in Senegal is a unique opportunity to redefine the framework of the exploitation of natural resources.
17:46This requires a balanced approach, focused on transparency, durability and fair development,
17:53in order to maximize the benefits for the country and its population.
17:58Senegal should begin to exploit large oil and gas deposits by the end of the year 2024.
18:06In anticipation of the COP29, the G20 met in Abidjan,
18:11with the aim of reflecting on climate action in a perspective of justice, equity and solidarity.
18:17Max Oubi and Ferdinand Coacu for the report.
18:21Climate change is an important obstacle to support the dynamic of post-COVID-19 recovery in Africa and the pursuit of sustainable development.
18:31It erodes the progress made thanks to the hard-fought development efforts,
18:35exacerbating cycles of poverty, fragility and vulnerability across the continent.
18:41In Abidjan, African nations are experiencing an unprecedented need to act, adapt and strengthen their resilience as never before.
18:50Here, the G20 countries want to engage proactively
18:54and prepare for sustainable development initiatives at low emissions.
18:59The current levels of reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and climate funding are insufficient to preserve the planet.
19:10We must have the courage and the political will to change and create the future we want.
19:18Africa must mobilize important funding for adaptation and climate mitigation,
19:24relying in particular on innovative funding mechanisms.
19:29The World Meteorological Organization estimates that the amount of climate investments made by sub-Saharan Africa
19:39is between 30 and 50 billion dollars per year, or about 2 to 3% of its GDP.
19:48This means that climate change poses a number of challenges.
19:54If problems are met by the G20 member countries in terms of reforms,
19:59challenges persist to address the problem of climate change
20:03in the framework of the implementation of structural development policies,
20:07notably in the three priority areas of the G20,
20:10which are macroeconomic, business and financial.
20:15And to finish, a word of sport.
20:18Morocco is facing Iran in the round of 16 of the Futsal World Cup.
20:23At the end of a thrilling match, the national team finally beat Iran by 4 goals to 3.
20:29And Lyon de l'Atlas, despite the injuries inside the Tannier,
20:33showed a good team spirit to reach the quarter-finals of this World Cup.
20:37In the next round, Morocco will face Brazil.
20:41I invite you to listen to an excerpt from the analysis of Anais Barbar.
20:45It was already a fear before this match against Iran.
20:49We had lost some players due to injuries,
20:51which meant that Hesham Geek did not have an effective team,
20:54perhaps quite interesting, perhaps quite large,
20:57to be able to carry out the rotations.
20:59And we felt anyway during the meeting
21:02that some players had trouble physically holding out throughout the match.
21:06We are talking about Sofiane Charaoui,
21:08really one of the artists of this team,
21:11who had to go out in the defensive phase
21:12because, inevitably, to try to manage him,
21:15to allow him to recover a little
21:17and then use his offensive abilities
21:20when Morocco had the ball.
21:22But we felt that these injuries,
21:24Boret, Sofiane Boret also came back from injury,
21:26we know precisely the player whose name is no longer available
21:29until the end of the competition.
21:31But there is also the exit of the scorer, Khalid Bozid,
21:34unfortunately left on 6th.
21:36It's been a few physical pains
21:38that are not pleasant to see
21:40for the supporters of Lyon de l'Atlas.
21:42But we saw that Morocco,
21:44not his way of playing,
21:46not his way of controlling the game,
21:48to manage the tempo
21:50and to avoid suffering this intensity
21:52that the Iranians brought him
21:54during this meeting
21:56and especially at the beginning of the first period.
21:58This is where the Iranians directly realized
22:01this strong time they had
22:04by scoring the first goal.
22:06But behind, Morocco, of course, reacted
22:08to have a rather medium block
22:10to try to contain this team
22:12and to allow him to try
22:14his chance from afar
22:16because it is also one of the strengths
22:18of this Iranian team.
22:20We saw during this meeting
22:22that they do not hesitate
22:24to try their chance from afar
22:26and inevitably it can bring danger
22:28in Moroccan defense.
