00:28The details of the resolution call for the parties to cooperate to reach a political solution to this different region in a moment.
00:37The European Council reiterates the need to preserve close relations with Morocco in all areas of partnership,
00:43a position reaffirmed by the 27 EU member states. We will talk about it in a moment.
00:48Joe Biden on an official visit to Berlin, while Israeli bombings in the Gaza Strip continue.
00:55The US president sees in the elimination of the Hamas leader the opportunity for a path to peace.
01:05His Majesty the King Mohammed VI presided this Friday at the Royal Araba Palace,
01:09a council of ministers dedicated to the examination of the general operations of the OAS project for the year 2025.
01:15This council was also dedicated to the approval of projects relating to the military domain,
01:20as well as several international agreements and a series of nominations in higher positions,
01:25indicates a spokesman for the Royal Palace.
01:28The sovereign also appointed a number of governors and governors to the central and territorial administration
01:33and a number of ambassadors to several brotherly and friendly countries.
01:38His Majesty the King Mohammed VI received this Friday at the Royal Araba Palace
01:43Sheikh Ibn Moussa, whom the sovereign appointed High Commissioner of the Plan.
01:47His Majesty the King also received Ahmed El Halimi Alami,
01:50former High Commissioner of the Plan, whom the sovereign decorated with the Grand Cordon of the Wissam al-Hajj.
01:57The 4th Commission of the UN General Assembly reiterates its support for the UN political process on the Moroccan Sahara.
02:03In a resolution, the Commission calls on all parties to cooperate fully with the UN Secretary-General
02:09to achieve a political solution to this different regional around the resolution adopted by the Security Council since 2007.
02:19The document credits the efforts deployed in this direction
02:22and invites all parties to cooperate fully with the Secretary-General
02:25in order to achieve a political solution that is mutually acceptable.
02:33Algerian diplomacy suffers from schizophrenic pathologies.
02:36These are the words of Omar Hillel during a session of the 4th Commission of the UN General Assembly.
02:41The Moroccan ambassador to the United Nations
02:43criticized the Algerian ambassador for his repeated fixation on the Moroccan Sahara.
02:50Omar Hillel called this obsession a schizophrenic pathology,
02:54accusing Algeria of being a prisoner of a logic of permanent conflictuality.
02:58The Moroccan ambassador denounced the double discourse of Algiers
03:02which claims to be neutral but which gives lessons and calls on our Commission
03:05without ever addressing the Security Council to declare the Moroccan ambassador.
03:13The European Council reaffirmed today at a summit in Brussels
03:16the great value that the European Union attaches to its strategic partnership with Morocco.
03:20The European Council also reiterated the need to preserve
03:23and continue to strengthen close relations with the Kingdom in all areas of partnership.
03:29This is the third time since the decision of the European Court of Justice two weeks ago
03:33that the EU has reaffirmed its commitment to the highest level,
03:36notably through the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen
03:39and the High Representative of the EU Josep Borrell.
03:45Since the decision of the European Court of Justice on the fishing agreements two weeks ago,
03:49the EU has reaffirmed several times its commitment to cooperation with Morocco.
03:54So how to analyse this renewed, reformulated commitment to the highest level in favour of Morocco?
03:59The answer with Christophe Boutin, Professor of Public Law at the University of Caen.
04:04This proves that there is a tension, not to say a certain disagreement,
04:09between the appreciation that is made by the Commission and the Council on the one hand
04:15and the appreciation that is made by the European judge on the other hand,
04:19of the way in which the agreements signed by the EU can concern the Moroccan Sahara.
04:27The Commission and the Council considered that the agreements they had signed
04:34had obtained the consent of the population concerned
04:39and above all, in line with what had been previously judged by the English Court,
04:47with somewhat similar agreements, that these agreements benefited the populations concerned.
04:53On the point that there is a disagreement with the approach made by the European judge,
04:59the European judge himself considered that if there were indeed populations concerned,
05:06it did not mean that the people concerned had been clearly and clearly taken into account.
05:12In a decision, moreover, it must be said, quite ambiguous,
05:16because at the same time the European judge asks that the agreement, the consent of the people concerned, exists,
05:22while saying at the same time that this agreement may not be explicit, but implicit.
05:28We see the difficulties.
05:30Finally, the European judge chose to respond with caution,
05:35leaving the agreements subsisted for another year,
05:39which gives time to the European Union and Morocco to find other solutions,
05:45solutions whose European Union, you are right to say,
05:48has reaffirmed by the voice of the President of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen,
05:54by the voice of her representative for foreign policy,
05:57and now in an even more striking way, by the voice of the European Council,
06:02therefore heads of state and government.
06:05This cooperation with Morocco must not only be reaffirmed,
06:09but must even progress, if we judge by the texts that have been given.
06:14The Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization is on a business trip to Morocco.
06:19Arsenio Dominguez is meeting today with the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs.
06:23During this interview, Nasser Borreta presented the maritime vision of the Kingdom,
06:27oriented by the very high vision of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI,
06:30which supports Morocco's efforts as a leading maritime nation,
06:34in favor of South-South cooperation, solidary, pragmatic and towards the future.
06:39I propose to listen to Arsenio Dominguez.
06:42It's an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to visit Morocco.
06:56We just had, in particular, highlighted the important role that Morocco plays.
07:11In addition, in search of excellence, the Kingdom also works to strengthen the capacities of the organization,
07:16especially in the context of South-South cooperation.
07:28I also want to highlight here the enlightened vision of His Majesty,
07:31to promote the maritime domain in the Kingdom.
07:34I also want to mention the efforts made by His Majesty the King Mohammed VI,
07:38in the field of education at the national and continental level.
07:45We are eager to continue the partnership with Morocco,
07:48to further strengthen our ties, and I am delighted to visit this beautiful country, which is Morocco.
07:57Hamas said on Friday that the hostages detained in the Gaza Strip would not be released
08:02as long as Israel did not end its offensive.
08:04Hamas confirmed on Friday the death of its leader Anwar Sinwal.
08:07The Palestinian movement said that this death would strengthen the movement
08:11and that the detained hostages would not be released until the Israeli aggression against Gaza was stopped.
08:17Its armed branch said that the fight would continue until the liberation of Palestine.
08:25On an official visit in Germany, Joe Biden saw in the elimination of Hamas leader
08:28the opportunity for a path to peace in the Middle East.
08:31With this death, the prospect of a ceasefire in Gaza and an agreement on the liberation of the hostages
08:36has been announced by the German Chancellor.
08:38During this visit, Joe Biden took part in a meeting with Emmanuel Macron,
08:42but also the British Prime Minister and Olaf Scholz.
08:45The situation in the Middle East was at the heart of discussions between heads of state.
08:49For his part, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken
08:52announced that he would soon go to Tel Aviv.
08:55The official Lebanese agency, ANI, reported this Friday Israeli raids on villages in southern Lebanon.
09:06Israeli bombings destroyed the old mosque of Mejd El-Selm near the border.
09:10In almost a month, Israeli attacks killed more than 1,400 people
09:14and more than 700,000 people were reported displaced.
09:18The Israeli army announced that new reinforcements had been mobilized in this region.
09:23Hezbollah claimed Friday attacks on the north and against Israeli soldiers
09:27on the outskirts of two border villages.
09:34Back on the continent, in Libreville, the date of the referendum is now known.
09:38The constitutional project examined by the two chambers of parliament,
09:41then by the government and the transition committee,
09:44was handed over to the president of the transition.
09:46The point with our correspondent Kevin Oswald-Oukaga.
09:49In less than a month, the Gabonese will have to speak out on the new constitution.
09:54In recent days, things have accelerated with the holding of two government seminars
09:59held after the amendments of the Constituent Assembly.
10:03After this process, the President of the Transition
10:07handed over to the Prime Minister the final document
10:10which will be submitted to the people on November 16.
10:14This document will be submitted to the appreciation of the whole of the Gabonese people
10:21at the referendum.
10:24Ladies and gentlemen,
10:27Regarding the constitution,
10:30it was the master of this transition
10:35since August 30, 2002.
10:38It is good.
10:40We have brought together all the forces of the nation
10:43in this process.
10:45In the Council of Ministers, four projects of decree have been taken,
10:48including the one governing the organization of the referendum
10:52on the constitution in the Gabonese Republic.
10:55One of them calls for the electoral college in view of the holding of the next referendum.
11:00It must be said that the text and the amendments made by the parliamentarians
11:04have been passed to the tribunal by the authorities of the transition.
11:07We have also taken into account the voices that have risen here and there
11:13and we have made proposals that would allow us to go towards a presidential election
11:19after the referendum or in the context of the transition,
11:22a presidential election in Peugeot.
11:25It is now up to the people to implement this new constitution.
11:31The Senegalese Council of Regulation of Audiovisual
11:34has brought together the political actors whose lists are validated for the legislatives.
11:38The goal is to set the daily antenna time on national television.
11:42Abdel Barri Echer, DAO, tells us more.
11:46After the early legislative elections on November 17,
11:50the National Council of Regulation of Audiovisual
11:53has organized a meeting with political parties and coalitions
11:58to determine the antenna time reserved for each on the national RTS channel.
12:03During this meeting, the Senegalese Council of Regulation of Audiovisual
12:06has also proceeded to draw lots to establish the passing time
12:10for the broadcasts dedicated to the electoral campaign.
12:14We have held in relatively short delays
12:18to close everything that was planned for the program,
12:21namely to examine the proposals that were made
12:25relative to the coverage of the electoral campaign
12:30for the propaganda of the engaged lists, of the 41 lists,
12:34and also in relation to the raised concerns
12:38about the technical constraints to which the RTS is confronted.
12:44The political parties of the presidential movement and the opposition
12:48as well as the independent entities have responded massively to the presence,
12:52saluting the organization of this meeting.
12:55We salute and congratulate the clarity and transparency
13:02of the National Council of Regulation of Audiovisual
13:05and the Senegalese RTS.
13:08They have shown us in detail all the provisions and modalities
13:14that have been taken to allow Senegalese to follow this electoral campaign
13:19and give the right to information to all citizens, to all voters.
13:25The meeting went very well.
13:27A lot of consensus has been established and consolidated,
13:32especially in relation to the broadcasting time,
13:35because previously we had set two minutes per coalition
13:39and we agreed on three minutes because we are 41 lists.
13:43So at this point it was really something to salute.
13:48Secondly, for the coverage,
13:53the RTS and the CNRA have agreed to give each candidate,
14:00in terms of the 100-year list,
14:03a technical team that will accompany them during the 21 days.
14:07As a reminder, the election campaign will open on Sunday, October 25, 2024,
14:12and will close on Friday, November 15, 2024 at midnight.

14:51Let's go for this 24th edition of the Tanger Film Festival.
14:58In a few moments, this opening ceremony here at the Palais des Arts of Tanger should begin,
15:05since the festival has chosen this year to come to this beautiful building for this edition.
15:12In fact, we can say that this is a new page that is being written
15:16in the history of the Tanger Film Festival.
15:20Of course, this evening is an evening of opening words,
15:25of welcome words, but also of tribute ceremonies.
15:30But it is from tomorrow that the competition will begin,
15:33a competition that, like every year, includes four categories.
15:37The feature film category with 15 films,

15:48and, of course, this category that we love a lot,
15:52that of the cinema category of schools with 12 films.
15:57What you need to know is that all the screenings will take place,
16:01of course, here at the Palais des Arts in the Grand Hall,
16:06the Tingis Hall and the Spertel Hall.
16:08It is necessary to add, of course, to these competing films the panorama.
16:13Of course, these are films that will be presented,
16:17that have not been selected for the competition,
16:19but that have been produced during this last year.
16:23Of course, in addition to the competition, in addition to the 7th Art and Cinema,
16:28we have conferences with themes such as animation cinema,
16:35the financing of the cinematographic industry,
16:39artificial intelligence or children's scenarios.
16:44More than 20 prizes should be distributed by Saturday 26th,
16:51here at the Palais des Arts in the four categories of the competition,
16:57with, of course, an envelope of more than 1.5 million dirhams
17:03that will be distributed in all categories.
17:06We therefore have four judges who will have to dive into this edition.
17:13The feature film category is chaired by director Mohamed Mouftakir.
17:20The short film category is directed by Khawla Ben Omar.
17:25The documentary category is directed by Jamila Anneb.

18:25In this sense, the city of Laayoune has been designated to host
18:28the 45th edition of the African Championship of handball men's and women's clubs,
18:33a choice that reflects the development of this city as a sporting center.
18:37The African Confederation of Handball held in Laayoune
18:42after a long time.
18:45The holding of this Board of Directors in Laayoune illustrates several crucial aspects
18:49for this sport at the national level.
18:51First, Laayoune will host the 45th edition of the African Championship
18:55of handball men's and women's clubs,

19:01The holding of this conclave also highlights the importance of the city of Laayoune
19:04for this sport at the continental level,
19:07which has been proven by the holding of this Board of Directors
19:10with our African fathers, all of whom have responded presently without exception.
19:21During the meeting, participants also addressed the reports
19:24of the working groups for 2024, including the development of beach handball
19:29and handball in wheelchairs, in addition to the African junior and senior championships.
19:34It was also an opportunity for the Board of Directors

20:01with some communications companies, with equipment manufacturers,
20:07and the Board of Directors has given its approval
20:11so that these partnership agreements can be implemented.
20:18This event reflects the commitment of the Kingdom to develop this sport
20:21and to strengthen its role in social and economic development.
20:24Also, the meeting was attended by the signing of partnership agreements
20:28with support agencies, emphasizing the importance of training
20:32and the development of technical skills for the coming year,
20:35which will strengthen the Confederation's ability to achieve its objectives.

21:31up to the details and the finish, which we strongly appreciate,
21:35whether it is the treatment of horses, the stables.
21:38The standards are very high here.
21:40For my part, I have already visited Rabat a few times.
21:43I have seen how the city has grown and developed over the last ten years,
21:48especially in terms of infrastructure,
21:51thanks to the Moroccan Royal Federation and the Royal Family.
21:55I would also like to thank Longines,
21:57which allowed this event to take place here,
21:59but also the Years of Culture initiative of Qatar,
22:02as well as all the stakeholders who participate in the good progress of this meeting.
