00:00Welcome to MEDIAN TV, it's time for the big news of the afternoon, let's start with the headlines.
00:22The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has sworn to continue the fight against Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon,
00:32Qualified fights of sacred mission by the Israeli Prime Minister on the occasion of the first anniversary of the attack on October 7.
00:39The Israeli army has launched new strikes in Gaza and Lebanon.
00:45In France, Michel Barnier to the challenge of censorship, the Prime Minister faces this Tuesday a first motion of censorship
00:58filed by the left to protest against the negation of the result of the legislative, a motion of censorship doomed to failure in the absence of the support of the National Assembly.
01:10Rabat designated the world capital of the book for 2026 by UNESCO, this designation follows the recommendation of the consultative committee of the world capital of the book, we talk about it in this newspaper.
01:27On the eve of the first anniversary of the attack on October 7, Israel expanded its land offensive against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
01:42Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu swore to continue the fight until victory against Hezbollah and Hamas.
01:50Despite the blows inflicted on these two movements whose leaders were killed, Hamas and Hezbollah continue to fire rockets against Israel.
01:58The Israeli army announced that it had launched operations against Hezbollah in the southwest of Lebanon along the Mediterranean.
02:06According to the Israeli army, about 85 projectiles were fired from Lebanon towards the city of Haifa.
02:16In the north of the country, Hezbollah also announced yesterday that it had fired a rocket salvo towards the main base of Israeli military intelligence, GLILOT, near Tel Aviv.
02:29The movement dedicated this attack to Chief Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed at the end of September in an Israeli strike.
02:36According to Israeli media, this military intelligence base would also house the Mossad's headquarters.
02:53Saudi Arabia reiterated its support for the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco to resolve the regional difference on the Sahara
03:02in the context of national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom, a renewed support to New York.
03:09At the 4th UN General Assembly meeting, the representative of Saudi Arabia emphasized that for his country,
03:17the Moroccan initiative was a solution in line with international law and the UN Security Council resolution.
03:26He also indicated that Saudi Arabia rejected any infringement of the supreme interests of the Kingdom of Morocco
03:33as well as its territorial integrity and national sovereignty.
03:38And in execution of the very high royal instructions, Abdullatif Loudi, Minister of Delegation to the Chief of the Government in charge of the National Defense Administration
03:51and the General of the Armed Forces, Mohamed Berid, Inspector General of the FARC and Commander of the South Zone,
03:57a delegation of American senators led by Jerry Moran was received yesterday at the headquarters of this administration.
04:04It was a matter of bilateral cooperation, of security and defense files.
04:08On this occasion, the senators, among other things, highlighted the excellence of historical relations and friendship and cooperation between the two countries
04:19and also saluted the important role of the Kingdom under the leadership of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI
04:24in the service of peace and stability in Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
04:31Bilateral cooperation. It was also discussed yesterday in Rabat with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and African Cooperation, Nasser Bourita,
04:43who met with a South African delegation led by the Vice President of the International Relations Committee of the African National Congress,
04:51the ANC, Obed Bapela. At the end of these interviews, the South African leader called for an intensification of economic and commercial relations
05:01between his country and Morocco. Obed Bapela, I invite you to listen.
05:08The exchanges that brought me together with Minister Nasser Bourita were fruitful
05:12and allowed us to bring our points of view on many political and economic issues, whether related to Africa or the region.
05:19We know very well that Morocco played a central role in South Africa's independence.
05:23Nelson Mandela's visit to Morocco in 1960 is perhaps the best proof of the support brought by the Kingdom in this regard.
05:30When South Africa gained its independence, Morocco was then the first country to which Nelson Mandela gave a private visit.
05:38The exchanges that brought me together with Mr. Nasser Bourita were fruitful
05:41and we consider them as the beginning of a common work and coordination.
05:45It is also an opportunity to explore new initiatives aimed at developing trade between our two countries.
05:51We have also explored mutual investment opportunities, opportunities that attract investors from our two countries
05:58by opening exchange channels between the companies of our two nations.
06:02These are promising projects on which we are working together within the African Union.
06:06Given the place in which Morocco enjoys since its return within the organization and its strength of pleading on African issues,
06:14whether it is the development of the continent or the search for solutions to the differences related to the neighborhood.
06:20The European Parliament has rejected an attempt by some separatist supporters to register a debate on the suspension of the Court of Justice of the European Union
06:31concerning the Moroccan agreements on fishing and agriculture.
06:35The proposal carried out by the left-wing group was therefore rejected by a majority vote of representatives belonging to all political currents
06:45representing within the European Parliament.
06:48It should be noted, by the way, that Berlin declared yesterday in a statement that Germany
06:52gave great importance to the multidimensional and privileged strategic partnership between the EU and Morocco.
07:05Let's go to France, after Elisabeth Borne and Gabriel Attal.
07:09It is the turn of Michel Barnier to face on Tuesday a first motion of censure
07:16put forward by the left to protest against the negation of the result of the legislative process.
07:21This motion seems doomed to failure in the absence of the support of the UN.
07:27It is Olivier Faure who will stand in the stand to defend the text co-signed by the quasi-integrality of the left-wing alliance of the new Popular Front.
07:40Michel Barnier will answer him and then intervene a long series of interventions of political groups before a vote
07:46whose result should be known only at the end of the day.
07:51An exceptional contribution to the most fortunate French people.
07:55France still with the resolution on the dismissal of President Emmanuel Macron
08:01which will not be examined in the hemicycle after a decision of the Presidents' Conference.
08:07This puts an end to the procedure that was engaged by LFI at the Assembly.
08:14The text, largely rejected in the Commission, was to be registered later on the 13th day following in the hemicycle
08:21that is, on October 15th.
08:23But the presidents of the three groups of the former right-wing majority, therefore Republican, and the DR, opposed it.
08:30A text on which Marine Le Pel also abstained.
08:35The Russian army claims the capture of two new villages in the east of Ukraine
08:43where the Russian forces have been grinding the ground for weeks now.
08:47It is the town of Zoryan which has been liberated in the Donetsk region.
08:52Russian troops are gradually approaching the strategic city of Prokhorovsk, Moscow
08:59which very regularly claims the capture of small villages in the Donetsk region.
09:04Ukraine, on the other hand, is in trouble in the east.
09:13And it is no surprise that the Tunisian president, President Sorten Kessaed,
09:18was re-elected with a large majority in Tunisia.
09:22At the end of the scrutiny, according to figures released by the Supreme Independent Electoral Institute,
09:30more than 2.8 million voters went to the polls.
09:36On October 6th, a participation rate of more than 28% was announced.
09:40Jobecha tells us more.
09:43The electoral institute announced on Monday that Kessaed had won the presidential elections with 90.7% of the votes.
09:54The outgoing Tunisian president was largely re-elected to his post in the first round,
10:00followed by Ayeshe Zemel, who collected 7.35% of the votes,
10:05while Zuhail Marzeoui came in third place with 1.97% of the votes.
10:13The global participation rate in Tunisia and abroad reached 28.8%, according to EASY.
10:25After candidate Kessaed obtained the absolute majority of the votes announced,
10:30the Supreme Independent Electoral Institute announced his victory in the presidential election of 2024, in the first round.
10:41The final results will be announced by October 20th
10:44and will be official once the date for the evaluation of the possible recourse has passed.
10:49These by-election results will be examined by ordinary justice and not by the administrative court,
10:55as planned by an amendment referring to the electoral law adopted urgently by Parliament a week before the scrutiny.
11:06Kessaed's crushing victory confirms that the opposition candidates failed to convince the Tunisian people
11:13and that they were convinced only by Kessaed's speech.
11:17For this reason, the opposition must work harder and develop programs
11:22to gain the confidence of Tunisian citizens.
11:27During a visit to his campaign headquarters after the broadcast of the poll,
11:31Kessaed stated that it was a continuation of the path of the revolution,
11:36committing to bleeding the country of what he calls corrupt and conspirators.
11:42At the end of these elections, in which the opposition does not recognize its legitimacy,
11:47President Saaed will be confronted with great economic and social challenges
11:53given a growth rate that did not exceed 0.6% during the first semester of this year.
12:03We now place a round of applause for the American presidential campaign.
12:18And Elon Musk, mania of Silicon Valley, is no longer content to financially support Donald Trump's campaign
12:25nor to support it on his platform X.
12:29He now appears on stage with a smile on his face.
12:32He tells us more about it, let's watch.
12:41Trump back to Butler, Elon Musk and 20,000 people present.
12:45The Republican candidate had promised, he did.
12:48Donald Trump came back to Butler in Pennsylvania for a new grand meeting
12:53while he had escaped death a few months earlier in a highly symbolic meeting.
13:07I just want to let you know that tonight I came back to Butler
13:10to deliver a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and the American people.
13:14We want to give America its greatness, its strength, its pride.
13:17United, more determined and closer to victory than ever.
13:21We are going to make America great again.
13:26We are going to win the election.
13:30The star of this gathering is an exuberant Elon Musk who has exhorted the crowd to fight,
13:35shouting FIGHTS, FIGHTS, FIGHTS,
13:37repeating the words pronounced by Trump just after being shot in the ear.
13:44Hi everyone.
13:53As you can see, I'm not just MAGA, I'm Dark MAGA.
13:57Well, first of all, I want to say...
13:59Hi everyone.
14:00First of all, it's an honor to be here.
14:02And you know, the real test of someone's character is the way they behave under fire.
14:07We had a president who couldn't climb a staircase
14:10and another who was blushing after being shot in the face.
14:13VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, FIGHT, FIGHT, VOTE, VOTE
14:20FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, BLOOD COMING DOWN THE FACE
14:27VOTE, VOTE, VOTE, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE
14:36Kamala Harris, she is starting the last month of campaign before the presidential election.
14:40If the candidate of the Democratic camp gets closer to the faultless since her investiture,
14:44the next few weeks could be difficult.
14:47The vice-president of the White House went to the sinister of the hurricane Helen,
14:51especially since several affected states are part of the swing states,
14:54so decisive for the scrutiny, especially North Carolina and Georgia.
15:13And then, there is Donald Trump.
15:14Trump has a very different approach.
15:16He makes big promises, he still does not keep them.
15:19He said he was the only one who could bring back American manufacturing jobs.
15:23Do you remember?
15:36And then, America lost nearly 200,000 jobs in the sector when he was president,
15:41in tens of thousands in Michigan.
15:44In addition, these losses started before the pandemic.
15:52For now, the polls give the two candidates elbow to elbow,
15:55which feeds a frenzied race to try to convince each voter in the seven key states.
16:00The mode of scrutiny in indirect universal suffrage wants that in the United States,
16:03the presidential election is not cut by the voices of the whole country,
16:07but by those of great voters whose number varies depending on the states.
16:11Thus, from Michigan to Arizona, passing through Nevada,
16:14Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina,
16:18the key states where Donald Trump and Kamala Harris concentrate their campaign,
16:21victory should be played to a few tens of thousands of votes.

16:38The World Capital of the Book 2026 is designed by UNESCO,
16:43the United Nations for Educational, Science, and Culture.
16:46This is what was announced on Tuesday.
16:49The design has been based on the recommendation of the Consultative Committee
16:54of the world capital of the book, Audrey Azoulay, Director General of UNESCO.
17:00She was delighted with this announcement, emphasizing that Rabat was an important cultural crossroads
17:05where the book contributed to the transmission of knowledge and arts in all their diversity.
17:18We stay in Morocco with this first training session
17:21on the side of the Mohamed VI Football Complex for the Lions of the Atlas
17:25yesterday evening in Salé with a full or almost full squad
17:29with the exception of Abdelsamad El-Zelzouli, who joined them in the end,
17:32who joined his teammates in the evening.
17:34The national team, as a reminder, faces next October 12 in Oujda,
17:38the Central African Republic,
17:40for the count of the qualifying rounds of the Africa Cup of the Nations 2025,
17:45scheduled in the Kingdom.
17:51And it's time for the guest of the big news of 13h.
18:05I told you about it earlier.
18:07Rabat was designated World Capital of the Book 2026 by UNESCO,
18:12the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture,
18:17announced it on Tuesday.
18:19This designation follows the recommendation of the Consultative Committee
18:22of the World Capital of the Book.
18:24And to talk about it, we are with Mr. Rachid Amarjour,
18:28Professor at the Institut National des Beaux-Arts
18:30and Director of the Palace of Culture and Arts in Tangier.
18:34Hello to you and welcome.
18:36Hello to you, thank you.
18:39And very good news.
18:41It's excellent news indeed.
18:43Rabat is designated World Capital of the Book 2026.
18:48Why did UNESCO decide on the Moroccan capital?
18:55Yes, Rabat for Rabat, quite simply,
19:01World Capital of the Book 2026,
19:04because it is a university city of different specialties.
19:08It is a multicultural city,
19:10with different foreign institutes and cultural centers.
19:14It is also a city of several libraries
19:17and research centers.
19:18It is a city that organizes, every year,
19:22one of the important book fairs,
19:24if not the big African fair,
19:28but also in the Arab world.
19:30So UNESCO, with its choice of Rabat
19:33as World Capital of the Book,
19:35I believe it salutes all its efforts
19:37and at the same time encourages the book industry
19:41and reading in Rabat, in Morocco and elsewhere.
19:44We will talk about it, it's true.
19:45World Capital of the Book,
19:47it is a label, if we can say, by UNESCO.
19:51What does that mean?
19:53What does that imply for the city of Rabat?
19:56It implies a lot of things.
20:00I think it can bring a lot, as they say.
20:03So it's animations for the book sector,
20:07investments for its industry,
20:11and especially a book launch,
20:15its consumption through its reading,
20:18in a city that knows a very, very important research activity,
20:22knowing that also in Rabat,
20:25there are a good number of editions and bookstores.
20:29So it's true, it can bring, as they say, a lot.
20:34And I believe that with this tribute from UNESCO to Rabat,
20:41as World Capital of the Book,
20:44I believe that we will win a lot of things.
20:46So we will win a lot of things, of course,
20:50but already a lot of things exist, several festivals.
20:53You talked about it just now,
20:56several literary festivals have already existed
20:58for several years in Morocco.
21:00What characterizes Rabat, in your opinion,
21:03compared to its international peers?
21:05We remind you, you said it earlier,
21:07there is the traditional International Book Fair in Rabat,
21:10several other literary festivals have emerged,
21:13such as the itinerant literatures,
21:15which were held in Rabat in early October.
21:18And then there is this brand new festival of African poetry,
21:23which was also born last year.
21:25Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO Director General,
21:29talks about Rabat as an important cultural crossroads
21:33where the book contributes to the transmission of knowledge,
21:36but also of the arts in all their diversity.
21:40What can you tell us about this?
21:43Exactly, everything you said,
21:46with the encouragement of writers in all sectors,
21:54because it's true now,
21:56we can say that the sector is almost frozen.
22:01It needs a launch,
22:04it needs support,
22:06it needs help and encouragement.
22:08So the writer,
22:11whether from literature or science,
22:14needs a launch,
22:20whether privately or institutionally.
22:26Scientific research needs help,
22:29but a launch like this one
22:34can really move all these activities
22:38that shine in Rabat,
22:40and that more and more we see new animations,
22:44new meetings, new festivals.
22:48So that said,
22:50it's true that there is also the problem of reading
22:54among adults and among young people.
22:57I believe that we will also go in this direction,
23:01and that this event,
23:05or this long period of the book festival,
23:08which will last,
23:10will also encourage youth and adults,
23:13Moroccans in general,
23:15to read,
23:17because it will change a little bit
23:20the price of books,
23:24the activity of books,
23:27and that reading in Rabat and Morocco
23:32will know a new life,
23:34a new interest,
23:35and even a value that is very, very low at the moment.
23:39Yes, it's still low.
23:41You were just talking about it.
23:43What impact,
23:45more precisely on the city,
23:47but also on the industry of the national book,
23:50I would go a little further,
23:52perhaps also in terms of the translation of books
23:56in this country where we also speak several languages?
23:59Yes, I remember,
24:03it's been a long time since,
24:05in a French television show,
24:10the French qualified Germany,
24:17which is ahead of France,
24:21by more than half a century of translation work.
24:26If it's the calculation between Germany and France,
24:33we can imagine,
24:36compared to these two countries,
24:37which invest a lot in the world of editing,
24:41in the world of reading,
24:43of its animation,
24:44in scientific research, etc.
24:46We are very, very, very late.
24:48That's why there is a low consumption of books.
24:55There is almost no reading.
24:58We consume other things
25:00without defending the book
25:02and the book industry.
25:05So, to really do the necessary,
25:11to help, to collaborate,
25:14to make sure that the Moroccan
25:17and the Moroccans
25:19return to this product,
25:21which is really a product of pleasure
25:23and a product of research,
25:25you have to do the necessary
25:27and you have to invest and encourage.
25:29Thank you very much.
25:32Rachid, thank you for answering our questions
25:36about this book,
25:39which is called Capital Mondial du Livre,
25:42by UNESCO for 2026.
25:44I remind you that you are a professor
25:46at the Institut National des Beaux-Arts
25:48and Director of the Palace of Culture and Arts in Tangier.
25:55This is the end of the news.
