00:00We are still together on Mediantv, thank you for staying with us. Here are the titles of your newspaper.
00:21The city of Detroit welcomes the Blue Africa Summit. The event is its second edition, the opportunity to highlight the Atlantic Initiative of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, but also the imperative to federate the efforts of all African countries in order to support the sustainable governance of the oceans.
00:41The United Nations in Lebanon accuses the Israeli army of targeting its headquarters. Two Blue Helmets were injured, France in Rome, Ireland and Spain. Condemnations continue.
01:00In Morocco, the IOUNE welcomes the 46th edition of the African Championship of the Hanbal Champion Clubs with the participation of four Moroccan clubs.
01:13Before developing these titles, let's start this edition first in the kingdom where His Majesty King Mohammed VI will preside this Friday the opening of the autumn session of the Parliament.
01:27On this occasion, the sovereign will give a speech in front of the two chambers of the Parliament, according to the Ministry of the Royal House, the protocol and the Chancellery. The royal speech will be broadcast live on the radio and television from 4.40 pm GMT plus 1.
01:47Burundi reiterates its constant and unconditional support for territorial integrity and sovereignty of Morocco on its Sahara.
01:58Guitega also saluted the Atlantic initiative of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. It was at the meeting in Rabat today between the head of Burundian diplomacy and his Moroccan counterpart, during which Albert Chingiro and Nasser Bourita saluted the exemplary character that marks the cooperation between the two countries.
02:22The two ministers also agreed on the signing of the road map 2025-2027. It will be during the next mixed cooperation commission that will take place in Burundi.
02:35In the Kingdom of Tangier, the capital of the African Week of the Oceans, the city of Udetroit welcomes the Blue Africa Summit.
02:51The event is in its second edition. Several scientists take the opportunity to highlight the Atlantic initiative of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, but also all the measures taken in the Kingdom to promote the sustainability of the oceans.
03:06The emphasis has also been placed on the imperative to federate the efforts of all African countries in order to support the sustainable governance of the oceans.
03:17On this, let's listen to Rim Benzina, President of the Blue Season, and Abdelmalek Fallej, Director of the National Institute of Allied Research.
03:26Really carry the voice of Africa. Today, it is the continent that has the largest marine resources, the largest capacities, and it is the most vulnerable continent.
03:39Vulnerable, it is not him who is at the heart of the issues of pollution, CO2 emissions, greenhouse gases.
03:49And so really today, we have to carry this voice to say that we have the best practices, that we have vulnerabilities, but which can be overcome because there is all this intelligence that is with us and which can offer solutions adapted to our cities, our cities, our countries, etc.
04:12So really, the Blue Africa is a voice and, as I said earlier, we have to act.
04:20We have all the conditions today to have a discourse and a South-South cooperation, but also North-South, and to be able to put right now, because there is an emergency, time is moving forward and we can no longer remain spectators and speak only.
04:39So to act, to act is the most important.
04:42It is an important event that reinforces all the decisions that have been taken and to speak of a single African voice in the name of Africa for the international community, for the United Nations and for UNOC 3.
04:58So this event reinforces all the discussions and decisions that have been taken during the week, whether for the Blue Belt Initiative Conference or the African Regional Consultation, which was organized jointly with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, with the Royal Academy, the Mohamed VI Foundation for Environmental Protection and all departments.
05:24To find out a little more about Morocco's contribution to this second edition of the Blue Africa Summit, let's listen to Bachir Tamer, Executive Director of the Royal Academy of Morocco, organizer of the event under the patronage of His Majesty the King Mohamed VI.
05:41Indeed, the Royal Academy of Morocco organizes this event, this summit, with the Blue Season and of course with a number of partners after the two meetings that took place here in Tangier.
06:02The Royal Academy does not consider the summit on Africa and the maritime and oceanic environment as an event, let's say, separate from an action plan that Africa is called upon to implement.
06:17That is why we consider that the Blue Africa Summit for Morocco is an engagement and not just an event, a collective commitment that brings together all African countries, because this summit tries to bring together the intelligentsia of Africa to be able to move forward, to put in place a common action plan for all African countries.
06:41Co-President of the Strategic Group Africa-Europe on the Governance of the Oceans, Pascal Lamy, has come back to Morocco's approach in terms of the Blue Economy. Let's listen to this excerpt from his time in the Alternative Missions.
06:56Morocco is at the forefront of emerging countries. The Atlantic maritime strategy that His Majesty launched in 2023, before the first edition of the Tangier Forum, of this Blue Africa Summit, which was still very Moroccan, a little African and a little European the last time,
07:22is this time very African, very European and very Moroccan. So we have made progress and I think that it is in line with this strategy.
07:34Morocco is a great maritime country. It has a rather extraordinary privilege of having both a Mediterranean and an Atlantic front. I would learn that they don't really look alike from the point of view of the management of maritime spaces.
07:52And so there is a great potential that has begun to be valued and that other African countries, as is often the case, look at with interest. Because until now, when Morocco took this type of initiative, it has transformed in a few years into a form of leadership, which I think is good for Morocco, especially on the economic and political level, but which is also good for other African countries.
08:22The Israeli army intensified its bombardments on the southern border of Beirut. Shots that targeted today the headquarters of the United Nations in Lebanon. Two Blue Helmets were injured.
08:35Immediately, Rome accused Israel of possible war crimes and summoned its ambassador for a firm protest. On its side, Madrid denounces a serious violation of international law. France is waiting for explanations. Ireland, which has about 370 men in the FUNUL, is accused of an irresponsible act.
08:59And tonight, an Israeli air raid targeted Beirut, very rarely targeted since the outbreak of the open war between Israel and Hezbollah.
09:13This is the residential quarter of Ras al-Daba, which was hit. This is the third strike on the capital since September 23. In Lebanon, the fate of the displaced is worrying. There would be more than one million to flee the south of Beirut. Nearly 1,200 people have been killed since the first massive Israeli bombings.
09:35And on the background of Israeli threats against Tehran, the head of Iranian diplomacy continues his tour. After Saudi Arabia, Abbas Hararchi met today in Doha with his counterpart Qatari. Discussions on the latest developments in the region, especially in Lebanon and Gaza.
09:57In Gaza, 28 people were killed today in an Israeli strike that targeted a school for the Palestinian families moved to Deir el-Bala in the center of the besieged territory. The Palestinian Red Crescent also wounded 54 people in this area, where the Israeli army intensifies its strikes and operations on the ground.
10:28Let's go to the United States, where Hurricane Milton hit the ground yesterday on the west coast of Florida, causing tornadoes and flooding. The hurricane caused destruction during its passage, taking over more than 3 million homes two weeks after the ravages left by Hurricane Helen Switzerland.
10:49Apocalyptic landscapes. Hurricane Milton seems destruction on its way. Dozens of tornadoes, flooded streets, all kinds of debris that cover the ground. This Thursday, residents of Florida could only see the damage after the passage of the hurricane.
11:07Two weeks after the passage in the same sector of Hurricane Helen, which killed at least 236 people across the southeast of the country, residents who have not been evacuated have been confined, fearing a worse scenario. More than 3.1 million homes are deprived of power Thursday morning across Florida, according to the governor.
11:25We had over 80,000 people that were into shelters overnight as the storm.
11:31More than 80,000 people are currently in shelters and we will better understand the extent of the damage as the day progresses. There are people on site to assess the damage at this time. Our interveners worked all night to help people in distress, and what we can say is that the storm was terrible, but fortunately we avoided the worst.
11:50But thankfully, this was not the worst case scenario.
11:55Milton was expected as one of the most destructive hurricanes in more than a century in Florida. The powerful hurricane hit the ground on Wednesday evening on the west coast of Florida as a category 3 hurricane on a scale of 5 and maintained powerful winds, shaking a path inland before reaching the Atlantic on Thursday morning.
12:14Milton is a powerful hurricane with maximum sustained winds of around 120 miles per hour.
12:20Milton is a powerful hurricane with maximum sustained winds of around 120 miles per hour.
12:25Currently located at about 60,000 miles southwest of Sarasota, it moves northeast at 17,000 miles per hour.
12:32You can see here on the radar a huge amount of rain spreading in the central and northern parts of Florida.
12:39Heavy rainfall, sudden thunderstorms. We have received several tornado warnings today in the center and south of Florida and this danger persists.
12:48On the life-threatening storm surge that is about to play out along the Florida west coast.
12:53Florida, the third most populous state in the country, which attracts many tourists, is used to hurricanes.
13:00But climate change by warming the seas makes their rapid intensification more likely and increases the risk of more powerful phenomena, according to scientists.
13:08The two hurricanes, which occurred a few weeks after an extremely tight presidential election, have taken on a political, Republican and Democratic dimension.
13:16And we stay in the United States, where Donald Trump surfs on the waves of these natural disasters to take on the Democratic camp, which accuses him of laxity.
13:31The one who returned to the White House has definitively excluded yesterday from facing Kamala Harris during a new debate.
13:38For him, there will be no comeback.
13:40On the other hand, he is multiplying the attacks against his Democratic rival, which must chain at the weekend meetings of campaigns in Arizona and Nevada, two other states that will be decisive for the election.
13:57In Ivory Coast, the Assembly for Economic Development has opened its doors to Beijing.
14:01The objective of this initiative, set up by Global Citizen and its partners, accompanied by the Ivorian government, is to encourage the G20 countries to strengthen their contributions to the idea,
14:16with the aim of reaching new funding by the end of the year.
14:23Political leaders, actors in the private sector and many other areas of activity are taking part in the Assembly for Economic Development, opened in Abidjan.
14:34This high-level economic meeting wants to highlight a solid investment file aimed at encouraging the G20 countries to strengthen their contributions to the idea,
14:43with the aim of reaching a refund of $120 billion by the end of 2024.
14:48For two days, the Assembly will address major issues, including the creative economy as a driving force for growth, innovative strategies for debt restructuring and the impact of the idea on sustainable energy, infrastructure and employment.
15:03It is also about strengthening private investment on the continent, in economic and social infrastructures, in order to accelerate the achievement of sustainable development goals.
15:17This mobilization ambition is at the height of the challenges, because the current mobilization campaign for the reconstruction of LIDA resources is taking place in a context marked by increasingly complex and increasing challenges.
15:35Initiated by Global Citizen and Bridgewater Associates in partnership with the Government of Ivory Coast, this event is part of a larger framework,
15:44preparing the ground for the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro and the LIDA 21 Resource Reconstruction Conference in Seoul, scheduled for December.
15:53Minister Nyalé Kaba salutes the holding of the event in Ivory Coast.
15:57I would like to reiterate the commitment of the Ivorian government to the success of this campaign,
16:05because it is by raising the stakes of the mobilization of resources for the financing of development that we can together build a prosperous future for all the populations of the planet.
16:21By bringing together a diversity of voices and perspectives, this event aims to make the call for action to get millions of people out of poverty and improve their quality of life.
16:33The Fund for the Benefit of Victims of the International Criminal Court held a press conference in Mali to highlight the implementation of collective reparation measures decided by the judges of the CPI in the Ahmed al-Farqiy al-Mahdi case in Tombouctou, Mohamed Danyoko.
16:53After the implementation of symbolic reparations, the Fund for the Benefit of Victims of the International Criminal Court has since June finalized the phase of individual reparations.
17:06On June 11, 2024, we finalized the individual reparations.
17:12More than 1,680 people, men and women, have benefited from monetary compensation for the moral and economic harm suffered by this group of people.
17:27The last phase, that of collective reparations, is currently, according to the actors, realized at more than 70% and hopes to reach 100% in December 2025, the date of the end of the process.
17:42UNESCO was in charge of seven main measures, including the reconstruction of the Mohamed al-Arawani mausoleum.
17:51It was the only mausoleum destroyed that had not been rebuilt after the 2012 crisis.
17:59This has been realized in the case of collective reparations.
18:04The work has been realized at 100%.
18:07The last mission in Tombouctou, a week ago, with the Malian authorities, has allowed the implementation of acts in the sense of commemoration and the preservation of collective memory.
18:19The trip to Tombouctou was an important moment, a solemn and symbolic moment to express solidarity towards the victims.
18:28The representative of the families of the saints at this press conference, Shirfi Moulai Haidara, rejoices at the good implementation of the program and its inclusive character.
18:41In Senegal, young ambitious and passionate about aeronautics transform recycled materials into multifunctional drones.
18:49Their goal is to position the country as a technological hub in Africa.
18:54With little means, they dream of perfecting their invention in Morocco.
18:59This is a report by Regis Moukila and Moussa Ndia.
19:02At first glance, it is difficult to imagine that this building houses an association of young Senegalese passionate about innovation.
19:10Mamadou transformed a piece of the family home into a real workshop.
19:14A graduate of a scientific baccalaureate, he had to put his studies on hold to devote himself fully to his passion, drone manufacturing.
19:26We saw people like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, these are people who have left their studies to create their own company.
19:35We manufacture planes, especially fixed wings, Cessna type planes, Nasa type planes and also Matarac.
19:44United around the same goal, to make Senegal a technological hub.
19:50These young self-taught in aeronautical engineering face many difficulties.
19:56We encounter a lot of problems, especially the material, because we do not find it here in Senegal.
20:02We are forced to order it from abroad, it takes time and slows down the work.
20:09And also the problem of funds, because we are not financed, we are forced to work alone.
20:16We also appeal to donors and investors who want to encourage us and support us.
20:22Lack of means, these young talents, whose average age is between 19 and 24, turn to recycling.
20:29It takes them almost a month to design a multifunctional drone from recycled materials.
20:36This drone was built to do a lot of work.
20:41It can handle mapping, environmental surveillance.
20:47Passionate about aeronautics and new technologies, they all dream of going to Morocco to improve their creation and be inspired by the Moroccan model in aeronautics.
20:58Morocco is too advanced compared to us.
21:02It is a country that is advanced in aviation and in the creation of cars.
21:09On this, we call on the Moroccan government to help us.
21:15And even so that we can leave Senegal and go to Morocco, to be able to study there for a few years, to enrich our knowledge.
21:22Making Senegal a technologically advanced country is the leitmotif of the new authorities of the country.
21:29Several measures have been taken to this effect to enhance the Senegalese genius.
21:36Today we celebrate the World Mental Health Day, a day marked by a white stone in Morocco.
21:44A national awareness campaign has been launched today, it will last a week.
21:49The aim is to inform citizens, but also white blouses, on the importance of mental health in the workplaces.
21:59In Morocco, more than 17% of the population is affected by these disorders, which constitute the first cause of disability and the second cause of national morbidity, just after cardiovascular diseases.
22:13We are on October 10, I remind you, and the Moroccan woman is also honored.
22:21This national day is dedicated to her, the opportunity to highlight her role and her contribution to the economic and social development of the kingdom.
22:32It is also a day to highlight the reforms and efforts in her favor,
22:36but also an opportunity to raise the alarm bell on the decrease in the rate of activity of women.
22:45As indicated by the HCP, a rate of constant decline for two decades, it is one of the lowest in the world.
22:58What are the factors at the origin of this decrease in the rate of activity of women in Morocco?
23:03What is my answer with Asma Chiaouki, Coach de Vie?
23:06Unfortunately, this decrease is not equal to the rate of dedication of girls today.
23:16If, for example, we look at the results of the baccalaureate and the number of students in universities,
23:26we find that girls are generally majority in the rate of success and enrollment in universities.
23:37But when it comes to active life, we find this decrease because, in my opinion,
23:47it is always this idea that dominates that the woman's best place is her home.
23:58In Morocco, Leyoune is still vibrating at the pace of the 45th edition of the African Championship of the Hanbal champion clubs.
24:07In addition to the traditional opening ceremony, today six meetings are on the agenda of this first day of competition,
24:15with four meetings of male Hanbal and two for the female teams.
24:21Morocco is represented among men by the Raja Agadir, the Union d'Herbes Sultanes and the Huit d'Arts Marat,
24:28while the AS Noicelles will be the only flag bearer of the Moroccan female Hanbal.
24:32Let's listen to Sheriff Ndiaye, a member of the African Confederation of Hanbal.
24:39We have found infrastructures in the dimension of the event,
24:44and the confederation, by its president, Dr Mansour Harimou, did not make a mistake by giving the organization to the Moroccan Royal Federation.
24:55We are well received here, the infrastructures are very good, they are up north,
24:59and we currently have 27 clubs, which is an exception,
25:0527 clubs that are present, and there are even clubs that are still on the waiting list.
25:11And so it's to tell you that everyone, all clubs, all countries would like to come to Morocco, which is a land of Hanbal.
25:19Well, as always, the federation has a planning, has a preparation planning,
25:23so they have a very good planning of the events.
25:27And so, one or two years ago, we already knew that the competition would take place in Morocco, in Laayoune,
25:37and so people have put all the means to organize this event in very good conditions.
25:46And I think we're going to start the competition well, and we're going to finish the competition very well,
25:50because all the players are already quite happy with the welcome they have received here in Laayoune.
25:58End of this report. Thank you for following us in a few moments for a new point on the news.
