00:00Welcome to this new edition of the Média Mort. Here are the headlines.
00:20At the invitation of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Emmanuel Macron is expected this Monday in Morocco for a detailed visit that will last three days. We talk about it in this newspaper.
00:35In the United States, at J-8, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump leave again this Monday in pursuit of the slightest way to make a difference in their duel at knife point for the White House.
00:51And then in Senegal, the election campaign for the Legislatives, anticipated on November 17, officially began yesterday following the dissolution of the National Assembly last September by President Bassirouf Dioumaifani.
01:06We open this edition with this special dedicated to the State Visit of the French President in Morocco.
01:17The French President Emmanuel Macron will begin this Monday in Rabat a three-day State Visit, the first since 2018.
01:39The rare event is His Majesty King Mohammed VI, who will welcome in person his high-ranking French illustrious at the Rabat-Salé airport at the sound of 21 cannon shots.
01:48An illustrious visit, a common will to close multidimensional links, uniting the two countries, has marked a new ambition for the next 30 years of the French-Moroccan relationship.
02:02A State Visit under the sign of the future.
02:06Monday, October 28, the French President Emmanuel Macron will begin a three-day State Visit in Rabat, a first since November 2018.
02:16A crucial turning point in the French-Moroccan relations. This visit, reported several times since 2022, takes place in a context of diplomatic warm-up started in early 2024, in particular following Paris' recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over its Sahara.
02:33This historic gesture of France thus puts an end to a period of diplomatic turmoil.
02:37By reconnecting with Rabat, Paris reaffirms its commitment to a strategic relationship with Morocco, a historic and major partner, both economically and geopolitically.
02:47Indeed, the Kingdom, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, has asserted itself as a key player in several strategic areas in Africa, renewable energy, industry, sustainable development and regional security.
03:00In addition to the political and diplomatic issues, this visit also reflects a major economic importance.
03:05According to some international media, Emmanuel Macron, accompanied by a delegation of senior officials and French industrialists, arrives in Morocco with financial support estimated at nearly 20 billion euros,
03:17intended to support large-scale projects in the sectors of infrastructure, energy, tourism and industry.
03:24Morocco, with its economic reforms and its regulatory framework favourable to investment, has established itself as an attractive destination for French companies.
03:32This visit therefore strengthens economic ties between the two countries.
03:36In short, this presidential visit intervenes in a strategic moment where France would like to reaffirm its partnership with Morocco.
03:43The Kingdom offers exceptional conditions to attract investment, which strengthens its role as an essential partner, both for France and for Europe.
03:52This visit, beyond diplomatic and economic issues, aims to seal a lasting reconciliation, based on shared interests and a mutual commitment to build a common future at the level of contemporary issues.
04:07And know that on Tuesday, the Parliament will hold a joint session on the occasion of the speech that will be pronounced in front of the members of the House of Representatives and the House of Counselors by the President of the French Republic.

05:04And know that on Tuesday, the Parliament will hold a joint session on the occasion of the speech that will be pronounced in front of the members of the House of Representatives and the House of Counselors by the President of the French Republic.
05:19Well, it obviously warms my heart. It warms my heart, first of all because I feel very Moroccan, quite personal and familiar.
05:34But above all, it makes me happy because this misunderstanding, this confusion, made absolutely no sense. And I deeply regret these difficulties in which we have our share of responsibility.
05:59Above all, it warms my heart because we have a lot to learn from Morocco and we currently particularly need Morocco.
06:11Really, at a time when you can see that France is looking for, in its social cohesion, in its projects, in its governance, what Morocco has been doing for thirty years.
06:31This inclusive development where the great modernity of Moroccan teams is based on tradition, inclusion, solidarity. The way to combine these two central subjects is essential for France.
06:52And then we need Moroccan eyes, Moroccan listening in our relationship with the Great South, if I dare say so, with Africa, of course.
07:10You can follow the entirety of this exclusive interview with the former French State Minister, former European MP, Jean-Louis Bourlouf, later from 10 to 10 and 4 p.m. Moroccan time on Mediain TV.
07:27The trade relations between Morocco and France have recently experienced a new dynamism. The French Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Morocco contributes to this dynamism by supporting investors and integrating them in the flow of investment between the two countries.
07:45Today, the Chamber of Commerce is 110 years of activity. Today, we are the accompaniment of our adherents, of course, the companies that are adherents, SMEs, TPEs, Moroccan companies, French companies, international companies, which settle in Morocco and which also settle in France. The idea is that we accompany companies in their growth and development.
08:09Since its creation more than a century ago, the Chamber has contributed to the favoring of the flows of investment between Morocco and France. Strong by its long experience, the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Morocco now hosts more than 3,500 companies and maintains various partnerships with more than a hundred organizations.
08:30It thus contributes to the implementation of structured programs aimed at supporting French companies in collaboration with their Moroccan counterparts.
08:40Why do companies adhere to the Chamber? First of all, it is the trust of our partners in relation to the actions that the French Chamber of Commerce can carry out in Morocco, but it is also thanks to the work of the 105 collaborators as well as the 52 administrators.
08:53The Chamber has a particularity. It is the most important French Chamber on an international scale, but this particularity is also found in its activity, since we have various activities that are not found in all the Chambers of the world.
09:09In addition to the adherence, the accompaniment of companies with a public service concession Business France, but also with a school, with a mediation center, with support for investors, and above all, the Chamber is known today for its industrial park activity, where we have four industrial parks in Morocco.
09:31The confidence of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Morocco translates into an ambition to develop business flows between Morocco and France. During the next phase, the Chamber intends to pay great attention to small and medium-sized companies, which, according to experts, constitute the real wealth of bilateral relations between the two countries.
09:53Investing in the aeronautical sector reinforces Morocco's position on an international scale. On the investment of the group Le Pistons Français, which has chosen the Kingdom to set up one of its nuclear power plants, the report by Yusra El-Hlafi and Yusra El-Hafi tells the story.
10:14The sector of aeronautical construction in Morocco, an investment that reinforces the international position of the Kingdom, is the product of a technological charge capable of attracting leading investors. The group Le Pistons Français includes the company SERMP, specialized in the manufacture of parts, engines and aircraft structures.
10:37Le Pistons Français is an ITU of 850 people, distributed between France, Poland and Morocco. We are a group that works mainly for large order givers, such as Safran Aircraft Engines for engines. We produce a lot of parts in inconel, in titanium, in our units.
10:58We also work for Airbus Helicopters, and we also produce a lot of sets that go on their aircraft. In Morocco, we have these two clients, and in addition to that, we have managed to develop international clients with an Anglo-Saxon connotation.
11:19The history of the creation of this industrial base, specialized in aeronautics, extends over more than a quarter of a century. An experience that values the role of young people in the creation of the spirit of entrepreneurship and success on Moroccan soil.
11:34The economic partnership between Morocco and France is a historic and solid partnership, especially in strategic sectors such as automobiles and aeronautics. France is one of the first countries to invest in Morocco, and Morocco is now considered a solid industrial base in Africa.
11:53This collaboration is not limited to the simple transfer of technology, it evolves towards a collaboration where Morocco becomes a center of excellence capable of designing and industrializing major projects.
12:12The objectives and ambitions of the Moroccan-French cooperation in this sector are manifested by the realization of larger objectives such as the manufacture of helicopters and other types of military aircraft.
12:25The integration rates are now about 43%, an encouraging result and ensuring the excellence of Morocco in the international aeronautics industry.

16:32News on the electoral campaign of Senegal
16:44Direction represents Senegal where the campaign for the legislative anticipated on November 17 officially began on Sunday
16:53following the dissolution of the National Assembly in September by President Bassirou Dhumaifa
17:00There are a total of 41 lists of candidates, including political parties, coalitions and entities
17:12grouping independent candidates.
17:14The campaign for the election of the 165 seats of the National Assembly will last until 15 November,
17:21in a press statement on Friday evening.
17:24The President of Senegal, Bassirou Dioumaïfa, called for national unity and appeasement
17:30in the approach of the election campaign,
17:32keeping in mind the community-based speech and behaviour
17:36as well as the threats circulating in the media space and on social networks.
17:41The head of state insisted on the importance of elections as a moment of democratic choice
17:47and not a pretext for discord, ensuring that the scrutiny will be free, democratic and transparent.
17:56The School of Maintenance and Peace in Lyon-Blanc-Bain-Bayeux-de-Bamako
18:02hosted an international seminar with the aim of discussing
18:07how international cooperation can benefit the member states of the Alliance of States of the Sahel,
18:14such as Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger.
18:18Our correspondent Mohamed Danyoko was there.
18:22Since the creation of the Alliance of States of the Sahel,
18:25a little over a year ago,
18:27the relations between the member states of this alliance and many partners have distanced themselves.
18:32In his inaugural lecture of this seminar,
18:35the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mali made it known that for the Sahel,
18:40equal partnerships were needed.
18:44The Sahel is a strategic region, geopolitically speaking,
18:49but it is also a region full of opportunities
18:53and these opportunities must be exploited to meet our challenges.
18:58For the German ambassador,
19:00it is necessary to reach a win-win partnership between the AIS and international cooperation,
19:06more dialogue and deep exchanges oriented towards the future.
19:12The goal of a better understanding and reflection on the expectations of international cooperation
19:21is very important in order to be able to identify strategic paths
19:27and possible concrete measures while analyzing the political divergences that exist.
19:34The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdoulaye Diop,
19:37invited the participants of the Alliance of States of the Sahel,
19:40and the experts who took part in this seminar,
19:43to make the new dynamics understood.
19:46You, who are in the reflection,
19:48you must be able to help us, help these partners to understand that things have changed.
19:52Governments have changed.
19:54Governments have changed.
19:56African populations have changed.
19:58So if they want to work today with these populations,
20:02they must understand that they must do things differently.
20:05The respect for the sovereignty of States
20:07and the promotion of cooperation that integrates local interests
20:11are goals that have been set by the participants of this seminar.
20:17We are going to Guinea,
20:19where the authorities have launched the systematic medical visit campaign
20:23of students on behalf of the school year 2024-2025.
20:27This systematic visit allows to do the screening
20:31and the early diagnosis of diseases that can hinder the schooling of children.
20:37Look, this is a report from our correspondent in Conakry, Idrissa Sissé.
20:42Interrupted for more than 30 years in Guinea,
20:45the Ministry of Pre-University Education and Literacy,
20:49through the National School and University Health Service,
20:53has just relaunched the screening and diagnosis campaign of students.
20:57The research objective is to contribute to the improvement of the state of health
21:02and well-being of students.
21:04An initiative supported by health partners in Guinea.
21:08The systematic medical visit campaign will consist of a complete physical examination,
21:14thorough, of children, to highlight hidden pathologies.
21:19For example, visual problems, attention problems and sometimes hearing problems.
21:26We will go beyond all that.
21:28There will be the pandemic that we will research and the pathology that we will research.
21:32The World Health Organization salutes this initiative,
21:36which is part of the right-wing objective of universal health coverage.
21:45The Minister of Health and Pre-University Education
21:49have launched an invitation to the actors involved in this process
21:53for more perseverance and motivation.
21:56For them, the relaunch of this activity shows the interest
22:00that the Guinean government gives to the well-being of populations,
22:03especially children.
22:05The mental and physical health of children is very important.
22:09Infrastructure is very important.
22:11All this contributes to the quality of education.
22:13So we thought we should think about these aspects that are neglected,
22:17that of the health of the students.
22:19These campaigns are organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Health.
22:24You have the medical teams who are there,
22:27who join the Ministry of Pre-University Education.
22:30We will strengthen the collaboration so that the objectives are achieved.
22:35This screening campaign will extend across the entire territory.
22:40It will therefore allow the Ministry of Health
22:43to identify the diseases that affect the Guinean students the most.
22:50This is the end of this edition.
22:52Thank you for following it and staying with us.
22:54The information continues on Mediantv.
