00:00We are still together on Mediantv. Thank you for staying loyal to us. Here are the titles
00:19of your newspaper.
00:20The Moroccan population is now growing to 36,828,330 inhabitants, which is an increase
00:28of 3 million since 2014, an increase of 8.8% in 10 years, the details to be followed.
00:35It is the result of his pioneering role in the service of South-South security cooperation.
00:42Morocco was elected today to a large majority to the vice-presidency of Interpol for Africa.
00:48We talk about it in this newspaper.
00:52European leaders have tried today in Budapest to display a united front in the face of
00:58Donald Trump's unsuccessful return to the White House.
01:04We are starting this edition in Morocco and it is to return to the main lines of the speech
01:10that His Majesty the King Mohammed VI pronounced yesterday on the occasion of the 49th anniversary
01:15of the Green March, a speech in which the sovereign returned to the diplomatic success
01:20of Morocco in the Sahara, a case in which His Majesty the King Mohammed VI calls on
01:26the United Nations to take responsibility to highlight the great difference between
01:33two paradigms, the one that embodies Morocco in its Sahara, realistic and legitimate, and
01:39the one that rests on a vision cut from the real world and its evolutions.
01:43Always in this case, in this speech, the sovereign announced the next creation of
01:48the Mohamedia Foundation of Moroccans living abroad, whose mission will be to support
01:54the initiatives of Moroccans around the world.
02:01In his speech, the sovereign highlighted the development dynamics that have transformed
02:06the Moroccan Sahara in recent years.
02:09Let's listen to Nabil Adel, researcher and director of the research group in geopolitics
02:14and geoeconomics at ESCA.
02:18Listen, I think that in the speech, His Majesty was clear.
02:23Morocco covers perspectives, perspectives of co-development, of improvement of living
02:30conditions in this region, and beyond, at the level of the whole of Africa, since through
02:37the initiative of the Atlantic Front, it is not only the southern provinces of Morocco
02:44that are developing, but it is an invitation to benefit from this dynamic all African
02:49countries that want to have access to the ocean.
02:52And it is in this perspective that His Majesty recalls, once again, that for the parties
02:58that artificially block the issuance of this file, if their intention is to have access
03:05to the Atlantic, there is no subject.
03:08Morocco has made an initiative that allows many countries to integrate the Atlantic Front.
03:14It is part of a more global logic where Morocco is trying to establish a new maritime front
03:20to communicate the two parts of the Atlantic Ocean.
03:24So, in this perspective, we can consider a global solution where, on the one hand,
03:33we stabilize the region, we stop this artificial file and then we register it in a dynamic
03:37of socio-economic development in the country.
03:40Today, how is the Moroccan community established in France?
03:43Can it be a real accelerator of development, both for the host country and for the mother country?
03:51Let's listen to the answer of Nadia Filali, Director of Innovation and Development at
03:56the Caisse des Dépôts in France and administrator of the ADD in Morocco.
04:01I think that the Moroccan community in France is made up of many very different skills.
04:11We are in a plural community, if I may say so.
04:15One of our first vectors is to explain what Morocco is, what its positioning is,
04:21to strengthen its impact by explaining the Moroccan reality, its economic development,
04:30its impact, including with Africa, on several subjects.
04:36I think we have been able to demonstrate that we are doing very interesting things in terms of innovation,
04:42whether it is in the industry, in the digital, in terms of education, in terms of Sanko.
04:48So, these skills must already serve as links, communication and sharing of who we are
04:56and what we represent.
04:59Then, we have a set of skills and I think we can help Morocco,
05:05globally, in the context of its development, either by acting directly internally,
05:12by developing new companies, by being a business partner,
05:19by forming a network of companies, but also by contributing to this development effort
05:26in the South-South area.
05:30The day after the royal speech, the Council of Government met in Rabat.
05:34There was no time to lose.
05:36The Executive accelerated the pace to implement the royal vision
05:40in order to ensure the coordination and convergence of the contributions
05:44to meet the new needs of the Moroccan community living abroad.
05:49This is what the head of the government, Aziza Khanoush, said at the opening of the Council's work.
05:55By the way, let's review the content of the speech that His Majesty the King Mohammed VI
06:00gave on the occasion of the 49th anniversary of the Green March.
06:07I will announce it to you in the titles.
06:08The Moroccan population is now growing to 36,828,330 inhabitants,
06:15which is an increase of nearly 3 million since 2014.
06:19It is an evolution of 8.8% in 10 years.
06:22These are the figures of the last census of the population approved and adopted
06:27in a decree by the Council of Government.
06:31According to this text presented by the Minister of the Interior, Abdelafi Leftit,
06:35the number of households has also recorded an increase of nearly 2 million
06:40to reach 9,275,038 this year.
06:44This is a significant increase of 26.82%
06:49compared to the number of households recorded in 2014.
06:54And concerning the foreigners living in Morocco,
06:57their total number rises to 148,152 people,
07:01which is an increase of 71%.
07:07This is the result of his pioneering role in the service of South-South security cooperation.
07:13Morocco has been elected today to the Vice-President of Interpol for Africa,
07:18a consecration brought by the General Directorate of National Security.
07:2296 member countries voted for Morocco,
07:25a large advance compared to the rest of the candidates.
07:29It was on the occasion of the 92nd General Assembly of Interpol,
07:32which closed today in Scotland.
07:35Through this election, Morocco wants to contribute more
07:39to the development of police structures in Africa.
07:41I invite you to listen to the Director General of National Security
07:45and the surveillance of the territory of Latif Ramouchi
07:49at the head of the Moroccan delegation in Glasgow.
07:56I am very happy to announce that Morocco is now our next destination
08:01to welcome all member states again.
08:06Together, we can develop a national policy of fighting crime.
08:15The Kingdom of Morocco, and more particularly the city of Marrakech,
08:19will host this event next November.
08:25This event will be an opportunity to strengthen international cooperation
08:29and to overcome together the challenges that we all face.
08:35We hope that our exchanges and our reflections will be fruitful,
08:40that they will promote a strengthened police cooperation
08:45and that they will lay the foundations for an effective strategy
08:49to eradicate and prevent crime worldwide.
08:57The escalation continues in the Middle East,
08:59where the Israeli army continues its offensive against Hezbollah.
09:02According to the Lebanese army, five Blue Helmets were injured today
09:06and three civilians were killed by an Israeli strike in the south of the country,
09:10more precisely at the entrance of Saida.
09:12It happened in the passage of a convoy of the United Nations Interim Force to Lebanon,
09:17at a dam of the army that controls the northern entrance of this great city.
09:21The Blue Helmets are part of the Malaysian contingent of the UN Forces.
09:30We are still in Lebanon, where violent Israeli strikes have targeted the southern border of Beirut,
09:35one of which caused minor damage to the buildings of the International Airport of the capital,
09:41but not in the terminal.
09:43Air traffic has not been disrupted, the authorities assure,
09:47but there are still 40 dead in Israeli strikes
09:51that targeted the east of Lebanon the day before,
09:54in particular the millennial city of Baalbek,
09:57ranked by UNESCO on its list of world heritage.
10:01More than 100 Lebanese deputies have called today
10:04the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture
10:09to protect the historical sites of the country.
10:16The Israeli army on several fronts continues to activate its war machine in the Gaza Strip,
10:22besieged and prey to a humanitarian disaster.
10:25Tzahal called once again this Thursday the inhabitants of several sectors of the city of Gaza
10:30to evacuate dangerous combat zones after rocket shots at Israel.
10:36She also conducted operations in the Beit Lahiya sector.
10:40This Thursday, at least 12 people were killed near the city of Gaza
10:44after an Israeli strike on a school turned into a shelter for displaced families.
10:55He called on the unity of the country, his speech was highly anticipated.
10:58Joe Biden spoke today,
11:01and in his first speech after the stunning victory of Donald Trump in the US presidential election,
11:06he committed himself to a peaceful and orderly transition with his rival,
11:11which will soon occupy the Oval Office again for Joe Biden.
11:15The people vote and choose their own leaders,
11:19and the Americans did so in a peaceful way.
11:22Always in his speech, Joe Biden saluted the inspiring campaign of Kamala Harris
11:27and the efforts he should be proud of.
11:32Good morning.
11:34Donald Trump will have to swear an oath on January 20.
11:37He has two months to choose the members of his government,
11:41but his return to the White House is already worrying some powers and organizations.
11:49Donald Trump's return worries Europe.
11:52In terms of trade and economic policy,
11:55Trump has promised to impose customs rights on European products entering the United States,
12:01which could have devastating consequences on the European economy dependent on exports.
12:08In the energy sector, Trump wants to get the United States out of the Paris Agreement on climate.
12:14He could also favor American fossil fuel industries
12:18and hinder European efforts to mitigate climate change.
12:23Donald Trump's return also worries NATO and transatlantic relations.
12:28His approach, America First, could result in a partial disengagement of the United States of the alliance.
12:34He had also declared that the United States would defend NATO members against a possible Russian attack
12:40only if these countries respect their budgetary obligations in terms of defense.
12:45Trump insists on the objective of 2% of GDP dedicated to defense for all NATO members.
12:51With the United Kingdom, relations are often described as special.
12:56But again, Trump's promise to impose high customs rights on imports
13:01could affect trade negotiations between the two countries, especially in the post-Brexit context.
13:07In addition, economists anticipate a drop in British growth from 0.5 to 0.7 points
13:13if Trump imposes new customs tariffs.
13:16As for the Ukrainian case, Trump repeated that he would settle the war in Ukraine in one day.
13:22However, analysts suggest that Trump could push Ukraine to give up territories currently occupied by Russia.
13:29Trump also mentioned a significant reduction in American aid to Kiev.
13:34This could seriously compromise Ukraine's ability to defend itself and force it to make major concessions.
13:42As for the war in Gaza, Trump was not particularly prolix during his campaign.
13:48As for the way he intended to weigh in on this matter,
13:52the American president declared that the Israelis should finish what they started
13:57and promised to give Israel the necessary support to win.
14:01That said, Trump claimed to want to end the conflict quickly.
14:06Finally, in China, Sino-American relations should enter a more turbulent and uncertain period.
14:12Trump promised to impose at least 60% of all Chinese imports to the United States.
14:19On a technological level, Trump could strengthen sanctions against Chinese tech companies.
14:25New restrictions could affect sectors such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors and biotechnology.
14:36Prime Minister Zelensky said in front of European leaders gathered in Budapest
14:42that for the Ukrainian president, any concession on his country made to Vladimir Putin
14:47would be unacceptable for Kiev and suicidal for Europe.
14:51A statement he made shortly after Moscow intimated the West to negotiate
14:56under the pretext of destroying the Ukrainian population.
14:59The Ukrainian president also called on the Americans and Europeans to be strong
15:04and to enhance their relations, even if the election of Donald Trump
15:09at the head of the United States raises uncertainty
15:12about the ties between his allies and Ukraine.
15:19European leaders have tried to display a united front
15:24in response to Donald Trump's failure to return to the White House
15:27and the collapse of his coalition.
15:29Olaf Scholz was not present in Budapest.
15:32The French president made his statements in the absence of the German chancellor.
15:39He urged Europe to write history at this crucial moment
15:43rather than read what was written by other Chinese or Russian Americans.
15:48Let's listen to Emmanuel Macron.
15:50And a geopolitics, as we can see, where we have two blocs,
15:54the United States on one side and China on the other,
15:57who above all seek their own interests
16:00and decide to be much less, if I may say so,
16:04complacent with international rules.
16:07We simply do not assume ourselves until then as a fully independent power.
16:13We think that we must delegate our geopolitics to the United States of America,
16:18we must delegate our growth model to our Chinese customers,
16:21we must delegate our technological innovation to the American hyperstalers.
16:25This is not the best idea.
16:27I think we can take control of it
16:29if we decide over the next decade to build,
16:32not simply within the European Union, but here.
16:35Basically, for me, it's simple.
16:37The world is made of herbivores and carnivores.
16:40If we decide to stay herbivores, carnivores will win.
16:45Chancellor Hammann, I told you a few moments ago,
16:47Olaf Scholz is under increasing pressure from the opposition and economic circles
16:52to leave power without delay after the outbreak of his fragile governmental coalition
16:57which plunged the first European economy into a serious crisis, like Benin.
17:03Germany is at a critical political crossroads
17:06with a weakened government and anticipated election prospects
17:10which could redefine its political landscape.
17:13This Wednesday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz decided to remove his finance minister, Christian Lindner.
17:19This decision is due to deep disagreements within the coalition,
17:23especially on the economic policy to be pursued.
17:26Ladies and gentlemen, I have just asked the president to remove the finance minister.
17:31I feel obliged to take this measure in order to avoid damage to our country.
17:36We need a government capable of acting,
17:39which is the strength to make the necessary decisions for our country.
17:42This is what was important for me in the last three years
17:45and this is what is important for me today.
17:48After this decision, I made another global proposal
17:51to the partners of the Coalition of Free Democrats
17:54on how to fill the federal budget gap without plunging our country into chaos.
18:03On his side, the Minister of Finance, Limoges,
18:06denounces a calculated rupture of Scholz with the coalition.
18:11Unfortunately, Olaf Scholz showed that he did not have the strength to give a new momentum to his country.
18:17Instead, the chancellor launched an ultimatum
18:20to suspend the constitutional restraint on debt.
18:24I could not do it because I would have broken my oath of office.
18:28This is why, at the meeting of the coalition committee,
18:31the chancellor ended the cooperation with me and the party.
18:35His carefully prepared statement proves
18:38that Olaf Scholz was no longer aiming for a sustainable agreement for everyone,
18:42but rather a calculated rupture of this coalition.
18:46Thus, he leads Germany into a phase of uncertainty.
18:56The tensions within the coalition were mainly based on economic and budgetary policy.
19:01The liberals of the FDP took a more liberal approach,
19:05with tax cuts and social spending,
19:08while the Social Democrats and the Greens favored a strong industrial policy
19:13with more public investment.
19:15Faced with this crisis, Olaf Scholz announced
19:18that he would ask the deputies a question of confidence in early January 2025.
19:22This approach opens the way to the possibility of an anticipated legislative election
19:27which could take place later, at the end of March 2025,
19:31that is, about six months before the initially scheduled date.
19:36In Niger, young orphans and beggars have benefited
19:40from four weeks of training in botry and maroquinerie,
19:45an initiative funded by local authorities,
19:48which also offers an alternative to begging.
19:51Our correspondent Jean-Dupri William tells us more.
19:55When he lost his father in 2014,
19:57it was in begging that Habib Oulaye found his salvation
20:00and his survival board in the Nigerian capital.
20:03Let's say he begged for his life,
20:05which today seems only a memory.
20:08For a month now, it is in a new adventure
20:11that the young man has embarked on, the learning of maroquinerie.
20:17It's been several years since I came to Niamey to learn the Koran,
20:20but I am often forced to beg to meet my needs.
20:24When I heard about this training,
20:26I did not hesitate because I already knew this maroquinerie workshop.
20:30Today, I hope to do a job that will also allow me
20:33to help my mother and my brother stay in the village.
20:37In this workshop, located in the suburbs of Niamey,
20:40there are about forty of them, like him,
20:42orphans and former beggars aged 14 to 24 years old.
20:46For three months, they will be trained in the choice of maroquinerie or botterie,
20:50of which four in a program initiated by the NGO Bontoura.
20:54A way for his promoter,
20:56himself a professional maroquiner, to give them a second chance.
21:00I said, I want to start by showing that it is possible
21:04to recover these young people who are lying on the road.
21:07So we are going to do three months of training in maroquinerie,
21:10but also in botterie,
21:12so that they can master this skill.
21:15Now, over time, we can also continue the training with them,
21:19if we have other funding that will allow us to buy
21:23not only the material for them,
21:25but also the necessary tools to be able to do the training.
21:29Here, we learn to make bags,
21:31wallets or even leather shoes.
21:34But after only one month of training,
21:37it is still on paper that these botteries and maroquineries are made.
21:41We started with the basics,
21:43by teaching them how to cut in curved lines,
21:45in zigzags or triangles.
21:47This also allowed them to get used to the tools,
21:50such as scissors or cutters,
21:52that they had never used before.
21:54Today, they are already making small paper shoes,
21:57and soon they will be able to tackle leather.
22:01It should be noted that this training
22:03was able to benefit from the full funding
22:05of the Nigerian government as a pilot project.
22:08A means for the authorities to fight against the monasticism
22:11whose proportions have been judged to be disturbing in Niger in recent years.
22:29Nere, Baobab, Karite,
22:32so many African plants with multiple virtues,
22:35have been used for centuries for food,
22:37care and even cultural rituals.
22:40These often wild species are now threatened
22:43by deforestation and climate change.
22:46In order to value the indigenous species of African plants
22:49in a sustainable development perspective,
22:51a African plant fair is organized in Abidjan
22:54at the initiative of the Association for African Plants.
22:57Since there are people who live
22:59from the economic exploitation of these species,
23:02it is important to work with the actors
23:05so that we can get more benefits from them.
23:09First, we preserve them,
23:11so that we can continue to benefit
23:14from what they have always brought us.
23:17Then we see to what extent we can benefit from them.
23:22This first African plant fair,
23:24which also aims to highlight this unique flora
23:27and to encourage a sustainable management of its resources,
23:30has brought together experts, researchers and enthusiasts.
23:34The first settlers, for example, were surprised
23:37to know that what we ate was not very rich in minerals, etc.
23:43But they did not notice any signs of malnutrition.
23:46Precisely because the plants, for example,
23:49which were growing naturally,
23:51could offer nutrients that complemented
23:54this rich food by fertilizing.
23:57So you see that these plants on Arefie
24:00have problems, both in health and in nutrition.
24:03This event also highlights well-known
24:06plants, revealing their economic and therapeutic potential.
24:10We have everything in Africa here,
24:12we do not know the use of plants.
24:14Hyssop is a plant that we do not like to leave in the wild.
24:17Here, we manage the plants in the orchards.
24:20You have to clean the bottom of the hyssop tree
24:23because the leaves that fall there
24:25are a problem.
24:27All this is natural.
24:29It means that we really preserve our plants.
24:31It is very important because it heals.
24:34We are here.
24:36We also have problems with our eyes.
24:39We have plants to treat our eyes.
24:41We have plants to treat ear problems.
24:43Everything that is dead.
24:45The African Plant Show was a platform for exchange
24:48and reflection to preserve the natural richness of Africa.
24:53This concludes our report.
