00:00We are still together on Mediain TV. Thank you for remaining faithful to us.
00:20Here are the headlines of your newspaper.
00:24They deserted the amphitheaters and boycotted the exams.
00:27But all this is now behind them.
00:29In Morocco, students in medicine and pharmacy will resume classes.
00:33They were able to find an agreement with the authorities.
00:40Donald Trump's return to the White House frightens climate experts.
00:44In the meantime, speculations about his future government are growing.
00:48Two new Israeli strikes hit the southern outskirts of Beirut last night.
00:56Then they called for the evacuation of the area by the Israeli army.
01:00At least three people were killed and 30 others injured in the city of Tiber.
01:09They deserted the amphitheaters and boycotted the exams for 11 months.
01:16But all this is now behind them.
01:18In Morocco, students in medicine and pharmacy have decided to stop their strike.
01:22They were able to find an agreement with the authorities.
01:26Back on this denouement facilitated by the mediator of the kingdom with UNESCO.
01:33After 11 months of mobilization, students in medicine and pharmacy suspend their strike.
01:39Following the signing of an agreement with the ministers of higher education, scientific research and health.
01:48Validated during discussions in the seat of the institution of the mediator,
01:52the agreement represents a response to the main student demands.
01:57Today is an exceptional day that marks the return of students on the benches of the faculty.
02:09After the signing of an agreement with the ministries of higher education, health and the institution of the mediator.
02:18We are very proud of this feat that gives value to the public faculty.
02:26This step will allow us as future health professionals to contribute to the implementation of the royal construction
02:33related to the reform of the national health system.
02:40The heart of this agreement is based on a decision of the ministry of higher education
02:46aiming not to apply the new regulations to the four promotions from the second to the fifth year.
02:53Students concerned will be able to continue their training according to the old rules
02:58with the possibility of conducting clinical internships three months before the support of their thesis.
03:08This result reflects the joint efforts deployed by all parties concerned
03:12and translates the fructuous coordination between the institution and the rest of the stakeholders.
03:18With the teaching staff and the ministry of higher education,
03:22we have managed to create a climate conducive to dialogue and favorable to the establishment of trust.
03:31The new regulation also introduces a reorganization of the sixth year for the subsequent promotions
03:37which will now be extended to 44 weeks.
03:41The agreement also includes a commitment from the government to lift all disciplinary sanctions imposed on students.
03:50They were at the heart of the royal speech on the 49th anniversary of the Green March.
03:55I am talking to you about Moroccans living abroad.
03:57New measures have been taken to better support these Moroccans from around the world
04:02who, you will see, actively participate in the economic development of the kingdom.
04:07They contribute to more than 8% of the domestic product produced in Benin.
04:13Moroccans living abroad represent a real engine of development for the kingdom.
04:18Their commitment to their identity, their support for investment
04:22and their promotion of the image of Morocco internationally.
04:25In short, their patriotism was saluted by the sovereign in his last speech,
04:30the ambassadors and key players.
04:35There is a palpable evolution that goes hand in hand with the dynamics of Morocco in all areas.
04:42The novelty today, following the royal speech of the Green March,
04:45is the restructuring of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad
04:49and the creation of the Mohamedia Foundation of Moroccans living abroad.
04:53The first is a constitutional institution and must be a force of proposals
04:58and the second will study and apply these proposals.
05:03The Moroccans of the world represent about 15% of the total number of citizens
05:08and contribute to more than 8% of the gross domestic product.
05:12The state attaches great importance to encouraging their investment in their country
05:17through a global and integrated policy that provides support mechanisms
05:22and improves communication with project leaders.
05:26We are trying to organize a set of activities
05:32and initiatives that concern Moroccans living abroad.
05:36We are also participating in the creation of cultural and identity links
05:41with the sons and daughters of Moroccans living abroad,
05:44in order to allow them to know their cultural heritage more broadly and preserve it.
05:50Our role is also to support and guide Moroccans living abroad
05:54who want to invest in Morocco,
05:57and this by facilitating their administrative procedures
06:00and access to service establishments.
06:05With the recently announced reforms,
06:07the impact of Moroccans living abroad will be strengthened,
06:11both economically, socially and culturally.
06:14These new measures aim to optimize their contribution
06:18while improving their experience and interaction with their country of origin.
06:24And how to better federate the Moroccans of the world?
06:27The question was at the heart of a communication meeting
06:30organized in Casablanca by the Moroccan House of the Diaspora Association.
06:35Let's listen together to its president, Djamal Belahach.
06:38Just after, you will have the reaction of his number 2, Nabil Brouze.
06:43Today, on November 7th, we gather all the members of the diaspora
06:47who have returned to Morocco for some time,
06:49either in a very short way or for a very long time.
06:52The goal is the second edition.
06:54Last year, we organized a garden party
06:56to be able to bring together all these people
06:58so that they can get to know each other,
07:00do networking, of course,
07:02learn to live together,
07:04and above all, try to see how we can build a roadmap in the coming months.
07:08And this event today is very, very good
07:10because the theme we suggested is the desire of Morocco or the desire of the diaspora.
07:15And in fact, the very powerful response given by His Majesty yesterday
07:19during the speech resonates quite well with the event tonight.
07:23And we are quite happy that from now on,
07:25there will be a real roadmap with two institutions
07:28that will manage the diaspora around the world.
07:31And tonight, there will be more than 220 people who have registered,
07:35so it is relatively important.
07:37And the idea is to meet this diaspora,
07:39to talk to her and to listen to her expectations
07:42once she is in Morocco, to accompany her,
07:44to help her to integrate and at the same time to invest
07:47as we planned to do.
07:49And at the end of this first sequence,
07:51we will then work on a roadmap with the entire diaspora in Morocco.
07:55The purpose of this meeting today
07:57is to be able to consolidate the bridge that can exist
08:00between the Moroccans of the world and our country.
08:03Since the speech of His Majesty and his desire to support our Moroccan identity,
08:07it seems important to us today to really create this vector
08:10and this link between this community abroad and that of the country.
08:14Let's go back now to the figures of the last census of the population in the kingdom.
08:18Morocco now has more than 36,800,000 inhabitants,
08:22an increase of almost 3 million in 10 years.
08:24It is more than 8.8%.
08:26How to explain today the decrease in the demographic growth rate?
08:30Answer with Ahmed Azirar, economist and research director
08:34at the Moroccan Institute of Strategic Intelligence.
08:40It is quite natural.
08:42It is the conjunction of a set of factors,
08:46including, of course, the decrease in fertility,
08:51the delay in marriages,
08:55migration,
08:57the change, of course, of social habits,
09:01and then all that.
09:03The change of the family structure, of course,
09:06since the large family no longer exists.
09:10So the nuclear family,
09:13urbanization, of course,
09:16and then the families realized, of course,
09:21the importance of educating well,
09:24of spending on children,
09:28which means that all this, of course,
09:30has caused the demographic growth rate to fall.
09:38It is a natural evolution.
09:41So it is an evolution that is verified
09:45around the world, of course,
09:48because there is also education,
09:51the education of women,
09:53the work of women too.
09:55So all this means that, of course,
09:59these factors and their conjunction
10:03make that with the evolution of time,
10:06of course, the demographic growth rate falls.
10:09But is this good for the country?
10:13That is another question.
10:15We now go to Rabat,
10:17where the Head of Moroccan Diplomacy,
10:19Nasser Bouhita,
10:20received yesterday his counterpart from Saint-Lucie,
10:22Alva Romanos-Baptiste,
10:24who seized the opportunity to reiterate
10:27the support of his country for territorial integrity
10:30and sovereignty of Morocco
10:31over all of its territory.
10:33Saint-Lucie, this insular state in the east of the Caribbean,
10:36also saluted the royal initiatives
10:39on the Sahel and the Atlantic
10:41that promote peace, stability
10:43and shared prosperity.
10:49The Californian authorities
10:51continue to assess the devastation
10:53caused by the Mountain Fire,
10:55this devastating fire
10:57that reduced more than a hundred houses
11:00in Los Angeles to ashes.
11:028,300 hectares of vegetation
11:04were also burnt.
11:06The soldiers of the fire continue to mobilize.
11:09There are more than 2,500 to fight
11:11against these fires.
11:13Firefighters gain ground
11:15thanks to the decrease in the wind in the region.
11:17But the violence of the flames forced
11:19several thousand people
11:21to evacuate Camarillo,
11:23this rugged rural area
11:26where about 30,000 people live.
11:33And in this context,
11:35Donald Trump's return to the White House
11:37frightens climate experts.
11:39The Republican, as you know,
11:41is a fervent defender of fossil fuels.
11:44In the meantime,
11:45speculations about his future government
11:47are on the rise.
11:48Younes Benzineb.
11:54Barely elected 47th president of the United States,
11:57Donald Trump will have to
11:59tackle the composition of his future government.
12:02If certain positions are already provided,
12:04several names are circulating
12:06for the various state secretaries.
12:08Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy,
12:10Mike Pompeo or Marco Rubio,
12:12well-known Republicans,
12:14but also dozens of faithful in the shadows
12:16that must be rewarded
12:18to reform the first Trump government.
12:29I don't think Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy
12:32will occupy ministerial positions,
12:36although he is undoubtedly attracted
12:38by titles he considers useful.
12:42It is likely that they will focus
12:44on the role of foreign advisor,
12:49thus seeking to increase
12:51their influence on the daily.
12:55To drive the Pentagon,
12:57Mike Pompeo,
12:58former head of diplomacy of Donald Trump
13:00and former director of the CIA,
13:02could be chosen.
13:04The American press also cites
13:06the name of Richard Gurney,
13:08former ambassador of the United States in Germany,
13:10while Robert Kennedy Jr.,
13:12nephew of the assassinated president,
13:14former independent candidate
13:16rallied to Donald Trump,
13:18could be responsible
13:19for public health policies.
13:28In Donald Trump's entourage,
13:30we find a number of figures
13:32from more traditional backgrounds
13:34and very experienced in foreign policy
13:36and national security.
13:41Mike Walz,
13:42who could be named Secretary of Defense,
13:45would be a relevant choice.
13:48There are also people like Mike Pompeo
13:51whose confirmation by the Senate
13:53seems likely.
13:55Others like Richard Grenell
13:57and Kate Kellogg
13:59could have very different perspectives.
14:06Thursday, Donald Trump
14:08proceeded to his first major nomination.
14:10It is Suzy Wiles,
14:12architect of his company,
14:14who will be head of the cabinet,
14:16an ultra-strategic post
14:18never occupied by a woman.
14:20The transition team of Donald Trump
14:22should present a first list
14:24of ministers and advisers
14:26in the coming days and weeks
14:28before his inauguration,
14:30on January 20, 2025.
14:34In this context,
14:35the 27 meetings
14:36held in Budapest
14:37launched yesterday
14:38a vast plan of reforms
14:40to restart the European economy
14:42under the threat of a trade war
14:45with the United States of Donald Trump.
14:48At this meeting of the European Council,
14:50the Hungarian Prime Minister
14:52asked the Europeans
14:54to recognize the new situation
14:56by accepting, I quote,
14:58to go from war
15:00to peace in Ukraine.
15:06As I told you in the titles,
15:08new Israeli strikes
15:10targeted yesterday evening
15:12the southern border of Beirut
15:14after a call to evacuate the sector
15:16by the Israeli army
15:18which has been pillaging
15:2030 other wounded
15:22in the city of Tyre.
15:24The health situation in southern Beirut
15:26is deteriorating day by day.
15:28Many Lebanese are leaving
15:30for Syria to receive medical care.
15:36In Syria, the Israeli army
15:38also carried out strikes
15:40today near the city of Aleppo.
15:42These strikes targeted
15:44military facilities
15:46belonging to the Syrian army
15:48since 2011.
15:50Israel targets the neighboring country
15:52with strikes targeting the army
15:54and groups supported by Tehran
15:56whose Hezbollah deployed
15:58in support of the Syrian government.
16:00However, the rate of these strikes
16:02has increased in recent weeks.
16:08From November 2023 to April 2024,
16:10nearly 70% of the victims
16:12in the Gaza Strip
16:14are women and children.
16:16Today, the EU announces new figures
16:18after a detailed but partial
16:20account of the victims
16:22of the Israeli bombings.
16:24The new report of the UN High Commissioner
16:26for Human Rights
16:28also details a wide range
16:30of violations of international law
16:32which could be assimilated
16:34to war crimes, crimes against humanity
16:36and even to genocide.
16:42Germany celebrates today
16:44the anniversary of the Berlin Wall
16:46which fell 35 years ago
16:48in a popular riot
16:50which contrasts with the dark atmosphere
16:52of the moment
16:54linked to the serious government crisis
16:56that the country is going through
16:58in the face of growing pressure.
17:00Chancellor Olaf Scholz
17:02said yesterday that he was open
17:04to discussions to speed up
17:06the elections in Germany
17:08after the collapse
17:10of his governmental coalition.
17:14This is the end of this report.
17:16Thank you for following it.
17:18In a few moments,
17:20new points on the news.
