00:00NEWS FROM MEDIA IN FRENCH
00:15We are still together on Mediantv. Thank you for staying loyal to us. Here are the headlines of your daily.
00:22Spain is still in shock after the murderous inundations that occurred in Valencia.
00:26The provisional report exceeds 158 deaths. People are still missing.
00:35We know that the fire in Lebanon is possible, but this truce will have to guarantee the security of Israel.
00:41This is the answer of the Israeli Prime Minister, Ian Ben-Yameen Netanyahu, to the American emissaries visiting Jerusalem today.
00:51In less than a week after an unpredictable election, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris
00:56are engaged in a race through the seven pivotal states in the United States.
01:07We open this newspaper with the floods that devastated the south of Spain this week.
01:21Spain is still in shock after the murderous inundations that occurred in Valencia.
01:31The provisional report exceeds 158 deaths. People are still missing.
01:42We know that the fire in Valencia is possible, but this truce will have to guarantee the security of Israel.
01:56Valencia is ravaged by a deadly cold.
02:00Collapsed bridges, piled up vehicles, flooded roads, damaged houses, unrooted trees.
02:06Dozens testify to the importance of the degradation.
02:09The president of the Valencian community, Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Masson,
02:14announced a plan of 250 million euros to mitigate the consequences of the disaster
02:19due to a non-tropical altitude depression.
02:27We will approve on Tuesday, during our next regional council, a first figure of 250 million euros.
02:33An extensive and compatible amount with the funds of other administrations.
02:37This will also include aid from the province of Valencia.
02:40So, to begin with, we will approve 250 million euros, which will be increased as damage is assessed.
02:56As the search and rescue operations continue in the south-east of the country,
03:00nearly a thousand soldiers are deployed on the ground, mainly in the Valencia region,
03:05alongside firefighters, police officers and rescuers, announced the head of the Spanish government.
03:17The Spanish government has mobilized huge sums of money and personnel,
03:21more than 1100 members of the military emergency unit, most in the Valencia region,
03:26more than 1,800 members of the national police, 750 civil guards, 200 soldiers and 335 vehicles and helicopters.
03:39Recalling that the Valencia region and the Spanish Mediterranean coast
03:42generally experience the so-called Gota Freya phenomenon regularly in the fall,
03:46an isolated high-altitude depression that causes sudden and extremely violent rains,
03:51sometimes for several days.
03:53Scientists have been warning for several years that extreme meteorological phenomena,
03:57such as heat waves and storms, are becoming more and more frequent
04:01and more and more intense due to climate change.
04:07And in this context, the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs mobilizes
04:10alongside its consular services in Spain to provide support and comfort
04:15to the Moroccans established in the affected areas.
04:18Out of 100 Moroccans lost their lives in this natural disaster.
04:22A central crisis cell has also been set up
04:25and green numbers for emergency calls are displayed on the screen
04:29for any request for information on a disappearance or loss of contact with a family member.
04:35You can call 0800 00 99 48 49 50
04:42and to join the General Consulate of Morocco in Valencia,
04:46you can call 0034 631 935 818
04:52or 0034 631 711 873.
05:01More than 100,000 Moroccans live in the province of Valencia, the most affected region.
05:06But on site, the Consul General of the Kingdom reassures
05:09that everything is in place to be as close as possible to the Moroccan refugees.
05:13Let's listen together to Seyed Risi El Bouzaidi,
05:16Consul General of Morocco in Valencia.
05:19The objective was to communicate,
05:22to put all the means of communication in our community
05:25to provide help, to also assess the cases
05:29who are in a difficult situation, who need help,
05:33and also to assess the cases who are lost,
05:37who are unable to contact their family members.
05:40We were also in contact,
05:43we are still in contact with all the active actors,
05:46all the active associations in the Valencia region.
05:49In fact, to get along at this level,
05:52because the center of Valencia is quite isolated
05:57from the other regions of Valencia,
06:00because there are rivers, even bridges
06:04that have been destroyed due to floods.
06:09Therefore, the effort to get along with the associative actors
06:14is also very important for us.
06:17Regarding the figures we have so far,
06:20we have one case of death,
06:23which is native to the Hamna region from 1979.
06:27Fortunately, we have only one case.
06:30Otherwise, we have two wounded corpses
06:33and we have about 25 cases that are lost.
06:36We are still making efforts to communicate,
06:39to also consult with local authorities
06:42to get in touch with these cases
06:45whose family members are unable to reach them.
06:49The return to the Kingdom
06:52or on high instructions of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI,
06:55Supreme Leader and Chief of Staff
06:58General of the Royal Army Forces,
07:01General of the Army Corps Mohammed Belid,
07:04Inspector General of the Headquarters
07:07and Commander of the South Zone,
07:10received today in Marrakech
07:13His Excellency the King Mohammed VI
07:16Chief of Staff General of the Royal Army Forces
07:19of the United Arab Emirates.
07:22The meeting was held on the occasion
07:25of his participation in the International Aeronautics
07:28and Space Marrakech Air Show.
07:31The two officials congratulated each other
07:34on the level of this cooperation
07:37while reiterating their desire
07:40to further strengthen it
07:43to the supreme will of the leaders of the two countries.
07:53And still on the Marrakech Air Show
07:56but also on royal instructions
07:59General of the Army Corps Mohammed Belid,
08:02Inspector General of the Headquarters and Commander of the South Zone
08:05also received Antonio Duarte Montero
08:08Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Cape Verde
08:11On the occasion of this meeting
08:14the two officials exchanged
08:17about the different aspects of the military cooperation
08:20between the FARC and the Cape Verdean Army
08:23in particular those related to training
08:26and participation in multinational exercises.
08:29We stay in the city of Ocre
08:32which welcomes the 7th edition
08:35of the International Aeronautics and Space Marrakech Air Show
08:38The opening ceremony of this event
08:41took place yesterday on the Royal Air Force Base
08:44in Marrakech.
08:47On the occasion of this event, four agreement protocols have been signed
08:50between Morocco and aeronautical companies
08:53on industrial investment projects
08:56aimed at the development of avionics sourcing
08:59with Moroccan actors
09:02in the sector.
09:05Let's listen to Hamid Benbrahim El Andaloussi
09:08President of Midpark
09:15This contract is also strategic
09:18and structuring for Morocco
09:21because it allows us
09:24to have new perspectives of development
09:27in another field
09:30which is what we call aeronautical services
09:34Aeronautical services include
09:37maintenance, repair,
09:40aircraft, engines,
09:43major visits,
09:46transformation, modification of aircraft,
09:49passenger aircraft, freight aircraft.
09:52This sector of aeronautical services
09:55represents a considerable amount
09:58of 4 billion dollars
10:01and we still have a long way to go.
10:04After Marrakech, let's go to Rabat
10:07where the 5th Economic Mixed Commission Morocco-Hungary
10:10held yesterday the opportunity to strengthen
10:13cooperation between the two countries and explore
10:16new perspectives of partnership in key sectors.
10:19A step also to highlight
10:22bilateral relations and open the way
10:25to strategic alliances. Let's listen to
10:28Biarri, Secretary of State
10:31of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
10:36It's a special result that we also have
10:39a business delegation accompanying us
10:42in Casablanca.
10:58It's a special result that we also have
11:01a business delegation accompanying us
11:04in Casablanca.
11:29...to become the most important trading partner
11:32of Hungary in the African continent
11:35last year.

13:53in Arizona, and a rally in the neighboring Nevada, in the frontiers of Mexico.
14:00The populist tribune, with more and more authoritarian and far-right rhetoric, should promise again,
14:09I quote, to put an end to an invasion of millions of immigrants from Latin America and Africa.
14:18Democrats like Republicans keep calling on their supporters to go to the polls as soon as possible.
14:24In the United States, more than 57 million voters have already slipped their ballot into the poll for the November 5 presidential election.
14:34It is the equivalent of a third of the total voters of the 2020 election.
14:40An unprecedented anticipated participation for the American election.
14:46More than 57 million American voters have already voted.
14:50A figure that feeds the hopes of both sides, but remains difficult to interpret.
14:55A few days after the poll, Democrats like Republicans keep calling on voters to go to the polls as soon as possible.
15:10There are only a few days left in one of the most important elections of our lives, and we have bread on the table.
15:16We still have a lot of work to do, but we like to work hard.
15:20Hard work is a good job.
15:22Hard work is a happy job.
15:24And don't get it wrong, we're going to win.
15:27We will win.
15:28We will win.
15:46But I'd like to ask you one very simple...
15:58I'm here today with a message of hope for all Americans.
16:02Thanks to your vote during this election, we are six days from this election.
16:06Maybe five, depending on how you count the days.
16:14At this stage of these historic American elections, a third of the total voters of the 2020 election have already expressed themselves.
16:23No, but I see in the data, and again, I'm not basing my prediction.
16:26The data seems to strongly favor Harris in a large number of key states for the following reason.
16:31This is an election where the gap between men and women is probably the largest we have ever known.
16:37In Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, the votes anticipated are very strongly oriented towards women.
16:44And if it continues, it's very positive for Kamala Harris.
16:48In Georgia, more than 3 million people voted, or 45% of the registered voters.
16:53A record, according to Brad Ravensperger, the Secretary of State of the Republic.
16:58According to the figures compiled by the laboratory of the political scientist Michael McDonald for six states,
17:04that is, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Michigan, North Carolina and Virginia.
17:09Women represent about 50% of the total votes.
17:13A result that gives a smile to the Democrats, even if it is impossible to say if this will materialize for the rest of the election.
17:32And it's time to go back to Ivory Coast, or to Belgium.
17:36And it's time to go back to Ivory Coast, or to Belgium.
17:39We will host next year the architecture and building fair,
17:43as part of the exchange for the renaissance of African cities.
17:47Melba Herschel and Wilfrid Meraña.
17:51Collapse of buildings, flooding, deforestation of populations, demolition of precarious neighborhoods.
17:57These realities that impact the daily lives of many inhabitants of the district of Abidjan.
18:03Underline the urgency of a rethought architecture and urbanism.
18:07Faced with these major challenges, the Order of the Architects of Ivory Coast, OSI,
18:12is committed to sustainably transforming urban infrastructures to guarantee a secure and resilient habitat.
18:18It is in this context that the 10th edition of the Archibat 2025 Architecture and Building Fair will take place,
18:24officially launched in Abidjan, which, according to the Commissioner General,
18:29marks the beginning of a new era.
18:33We will have to put in place a hardy marketing strategy,
18:37allowing market players to meet in B2B, in networking cocktails,
18:43in country day, in professional day,
18:46in strategic guests from the sub-region and beyond.
18:50This strategy, of course, is an opportunity for local players
18:55to forge partnerships with representatives both in the Ivory Coast and in the sub-region,
19:01thus taking advantage of the sub-regional hub position that our country represents.
19:08Archibat, for a decade, has brought together the players in the sector
19:12to think and build a sustainable urban avenue.
19:15The 10th edition, launched under the theme of Urban Architecture and Renewal,
19:21focuses in particular on the transformation of Ivorian cities.
19:26It is about bringing the population to see the role of architects,
19:30the role of urbanists, the role of all those who compete for the transformation of our cities
19:35in the context of this urban renewal.
19:37So the takeover is on this basis that we will reflect,
19:41exchange with the Ivorian experiences, but also the experiences around the world.
19:45And we think that there is material to share these different experiences
19:50for the future of our different cities.
19:52Archibat 2025 is therefore a platform of solutions
19:56that, beyond construction, aims to reinvent Ivorian urbanism
20:01to make it a model of durability and security.
20:05Let's go back to Marrakech, where the 7th edition of the Choiseul Africa Business Forum is open today,
20:12as a two-day event, rhythmized by series of strong times, plenaries and panels,
20:17strategic B2B meetings.
20:19Pascal Leraud, President of the Choiseul Institute since Marrakech,
20:23comes back on the objectives of this edition.
20:26As you have recalled, we will welcome a large number of economic players
20:31from Africa, of course, but also from Europe and the Gulf.
20:35The idea is to promote exchanges,
20:37to allow the creation of opportunities for partnerships, discussions, discoveries, meetings.
20:45You know, when we allow a multitude of economic decision-makers to meet,
20:51something positive always comes out of it.
20:53It's investment, it's economic partnerships, it's trade.
20:58And that's what we've been doing for five years now,
21:01since we are at the 5th edition of the Choiseul Africa Business Forum,
21:05to promote these relationships and these opportunities to meet.
21:09So far, it's been going well.
21:12A large number of contracts have been initiated during these previous editions.
21:16And we have no doubt that this time, in Marrakech,
21:19in this beautiful city of this beautiful Kingdom of Morocco,
21:22a large number of opportunities will emerge and will allow Moroccan players,
21:27but also African, European and from other regions of the world,
21:31to meet and then conclude real business.
21:34The idea is to accelerate, to be an opportunity, finally,
21:38to go faster, further, in a more in-depth way,
21:42among all these economic players who come to meet today and tomorrow in Marrakech.
21:48We stay in the Kingdom, where the 21st edition of the International Film Festival
21:53in Marrakech will be held from November 29 to December 7.
21:58And this year, the festival will pay tribute to three great figures of national and world cinema,
22:05the Moroccan actress Foneyma El-Mshargi,
22:08the American actor and director Sine Pen,
22:12and the Canadian director David Cronenberg.
22:16Since its creation, the festival has the tradition of paying tribute to the greatest names of 7th art.
22:23Medium TV had the opportunity to interview the former Moroccan and French international,
22:29Abelatif Benazie, whose candidacy to the presidency was retained by the High International Rugby Institute,
22:36the opportunity for him to reveal the great lines of his vision
22:40in order to give new momentum to this sport in Africa.
22:44Together we listen to him.
22:46We know very well that rugby is such a beautiful sport,
22:49but it is a sport that is marked by the Anglo-Saxon influence.
22:54And I think that all international federations are now in difficulty
22:58because we have remained very cloistered with this identity.
23:01And I think that the future of rugby is based on diversity,
23:04on going to new regions, globalizing it as we say.
23:07And I speak with this program full of support, strength and conviction
23:12to be able, I hope, to win the presidency in 15 days.
23:17In front of an Australian who has a bit of the old team, with a lot of respect.
23:21So today I am supported, I am motivated as ever to be able to open this sport to other continents,
23:31like Africa, like Asia, like South America.
23:34Because we have an obligation to understand different cultures,
23:38not to speak only English, as we say,
23:42but also to take root on this base that has been the Olympic Games.
23:45With Asiatic rugby, which has taken on a dimension,
23:48which is a new language that can speak to certain generations.
23:51Those who want to start in this sport, in terms of school, in terms of university,
23:55in terms of new continents.
23:57So this is something that is very important to me.
24:00And I think that I am more than motivated.
24:02And every day is better than the day before.
24:04And we are a few days away with the parents, God willing.
24:08God willing, it will be good.
24:10This is the end of this report.
24:12Thank you for following it.
24:13The information continues on Median TV and Median Terrafric.
