00:00Hello everyone, I am delighted to see you for this new information meeting on Medea TV.
00:22A wave of economic news from Morocco and France in the regions of the Red Circle and the Gulf of Dahab.
00:3050 decision-makers and French business leaders are taking part in this event which is held in the southern provinces.
00:38Israel announces the opening of a new checkpoint for humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip,
00:44while famine spreads and the situation is more dramatic in the Palestinian enclave.
00:54How to move forward on the climate without the first world power?
00:58This is the challenge posed to some 70 leaders gathered this Tuesday and Wednesday at the annual UN climate conference in Azerbaijan.
01:05And to start, let's head to the southern provinces with the coup d'envoi this morning of the Economic Days Morocco-France à l'Aion.
01:18About 50 French business leaders and decision-makers are taking part in this event,
01:24which takes place two weeks after the visit of French President Emmanuel Macron to Morocco
01:30As part of the concretization of the French decision to recognize the Moroccan identity of the Sahara
01:36and the sovereignty of Morocco on its territory,
01:38the Ambassador of France to the Kingdom of Morocco, Christophe Lecourtier,
01:42accompanied by a strong delegation, also made the trip.
01:47According to a statement from the French Embassy in Morocco,
01:50the objective is to identify concrete action tracks to implement
01:54to contribute to economic and social development in the southern regions.
02:01On the subject of these Economic Days Morocco-France,
02:06I invite you to listen to Jean-Charles Damblin,
02:09he is the Director General of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Morocco.
02:13The importance, if you will, for the CFCM is always to accompany the Moroccan regions.
02:19There were recent statements, the idea came to do this roadshow in the southern regions.
02:27Today we arrived in Laayoune.
02:30We stay tomorrow in Laayoune for a presentation of the PDR,
02:34which will be made to about 50 companies, 50 decision-makers of the company,
02:38who are with us today.
02:40A presentation of the PDR of the region,
02:43and in the afternoon a visit of the site, which is the UM6P of Laayoune.
02:49Subsequently, we will take a flight to Arla.
02:52For us, it is important to be able to accompany the companies.
02:55Here we have companies, of course, French companies,
02:58subsidiary companies of the French group that are already installed,
03:01I will not name the names, but large companies
03:03who come here to see a little bit, to take advantage of the different opportunities.
03:07It is important to accompany this movement to the south.
03:10The Chamber has been accompanying the movement to the south since 2017,
03:13with the opening of its delegation to Laayoune and 2019 to Darla.
03:18But it was still important to redo a mission,
03:20to show companies that we are present
03:23and that the region will offer them strong opportunities.
03:27It reinforces it in fact, since our relationship is already economically anchored.
03:33We heard it during President Macron's visit,
03:36the figures that were given, 14 billion euros in exchange between the two countries,
03:40also France, the first foreign direct investor in Morocco.
03:46It is not only reinforcing them on the region of Casablanca, Tangier, Rabat,
03:50on the main axis, but it is the Chamber wanting to help the regions,
03:54accompany the regions, precisely in this reinforcement,
03:57by bringing companies, subsidiaries of the French group or French companies.
04:01We have here four companies that come from France
04:03who wanted to come and see what was happening on Laayoune,
04:05who had never come to Laayoune or even to Darla, where we are going tomorrow.
04:09It was important to show all of Morocco and all the regions that make it up.
04:16In international news, Israel announces the opening of a new checkpoint
04:22for humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip,
04:25on the eve of a deadline set by the United States to the Israeli authorities
04:30to allow the increase of aid to the Palestinians.
04:34Without this, the United States threatened to suspend
04:37part of their military assistance to Israel.
04:40The humanitarian situation in Gaza is more dramatic
04:43as famine spreads across the territory.
04:46Humanitarian aid has been at its lowest for months.
04:49According to the World Food Programme,
04:515,000 tonnes of food were delivered to Gaza in October,
04:55which is only 20% of the food aid needed for the 1 million Gazawis
05:00who depend on PAM's vital aid.
05:07Yesterday, American forces carried out strikes in Syria
05:11against targets linked to groups supported by Iran.
05:15This is what the Pentagon announced,
05:17saying that these strikes in Syria are in response
05:20to attacks against Washington troops in the country
05:24and that they aim to reduce the ability of groups supported by Iran
05:28to plan and launch attacks against American forces.
05:32The Pentagon, however, did not specify which groups were targeted
05:36nor made victims.
05:41I thanked him for what he did.
06:11Donald Trump is once again out of the Climate Agreement,
06:14which was adopted in Paris in 2015.
06:16And while the Europeans have promised to persevere,
06:19they are not backing down.
06:21Emmanuel Macron, Olaf Scholz or the President of the European Commission
06:25are absent at the summit.
06:30And on the issues of this COP29,
06:33I invite you to listen to the analysis of the climatologist Saeed Kharroukh.
06:39Today, with all the packaging of the global climate
06:43and the severe direct effects on all humanity,
06:48this COP29 is taking place in a climate that is beyond us
06:57from a natural point of view.
06:59A climate that has given us, in North Africa and Morocco,
07:05the last floods of equatorial origin in September.
07:13Before that, there was a thousand-year-old hurricane
07:17that destroyed the United States of the South East
07:22and not long after, what happened in Cote d'Azur,
07:27not to mention that, in Spain.
07:30And so, we are facing a climate that has already changed,
07:35which I have called a new climate since 2010
07:38for purely scientific structural reasons.
07:43And today, we must no longer talk about climate change.
07:48We are already in a heated climate that continues to evolve.
07:51This is the great difficulty, it continues to increase.
07:54And this is not the time, I will not go into these details.
07:57So now, humanity, since the COP of Copenhagen in 2009,
08:03has found itself in a reality that is beyond the real
08:09of not using fossil fuels.
08:17And so, since then, we have not really talked about the climate,
08:21nor about the attenuation itself.
08:24We talk about the topics that are around the climate,
08:27in all these summits.
08:29And today, we are going to talk about finance, quite simply.
08:32But finance, what is finance?
08:35Finance is the countries of the South who are victims
08:38and who are waiting for the aid of the countries responsible
08:41for climate change, so that there is help
08:44to support their integration.
08:50But this help does not come.
08:52It has not come since 2009.
08:55And then we continue to meet to try to stop
09:04the increase in climate temperature.
09:06And until now, it is the climate that is taking the lead.
09:12Direction Côte d'Ivoire, where the preparation
09:15of the presidential election of 2025
09:18animates the political debate.
09:20The Ivorian People's Front, the FPI,
09:22makes its official entrance in the race
09:25with the candidacy of its president, Pascal Affin Gessen.
09:28If this candidacy arouses mixed reactions among citizens,
09:33political experts see an important signal for the FPI.
09:38Details with Mel Berchel and Herman Doggo.
09:42The table of candidates for the 2025 presidential election
09:45in Côte d'Ivoire is gradually filling up.
09:47Eleven months after the ballot, the former party in power,
09:50the Ivorian People's Front, the FPI,
09:52already has its candidate in the race.
09:54No surprise, Pascal Affin Gessen,
09:56filled for a new race in the presidential election
09:59after finishing second in the 2015 presidential election
10:02against Alassane Ouattara,
10:04current head of the Ivorian executive.
10:06The observation is clear.
10:08Opinions are mixed on the candidacy
10:10of the former Prime Minister of Ivoria.
10:12Affin, FPI, they don't have a point.
10:172025, they don't have a point.
10:19We saw it in Yamsoukro, how it happened.
10:22We are only in 2024.
10:24So many things can change.
10:26So what I said today, I'm going to vote again
10:29because someone said something that I don't like.
10:32I said, well, if it's like that, I'll vote for life.
10:34I'm looking for another place,
10:36if I'm still a politician in Côte d'Ivoire.
10:38Because they don't weigh.
10:40And within their party, there are dysfunctions.
10:43Not dysfunctions, but dissensions.
10:45There is another group that is being created.
10:47So they are looking for a place in the sun.
10:49It will necessarily be through a coalition,
10:51either with the power or with the opposition.
10:54The political aspects also lean on this candidacy
10:57and on the real gap for the FPI.
10:59He understood that there was a challenge
11:02at the level of the opposition
11:04to go and mess with the RADP.
11:07And so I think that with his choice there,
11:10because there he saw those who criticized him
11:13and those who sold him,
11:15washed him a little, if I can put it that way.
11:18So I think that with these elections,
11:20it will be an opportunity for him
11:22to establish his base at the national level.
11:25The process of reviewing the electoral list
11:27is underway in the country.
11:29About 4.5 million voters
11:31must be registered on the electoral list.
11:34For the time being, less than 9,000 applicants
11:36have been registered.
11:39Amodar is currently with the 15th BNL
11:42of Contemporary African Art,
11:44which is being held in Senegal.
11:46This major cultural event
11:48will be held in Dakar until December 7th.
11:51An opportunity for artists
11:53to discover their creations
11:55and interact with other actors in the art world.
11:58This is a report by Adol Rahimari and Sheik N'Daw.
12:03We are in the old palace of justice of Dakar.
12:06This emblematic building
12:08also serves as an exhibition site
12:10for artists from various backgrounds.
12:12It is on the occasion of the 15th BNL of Dakar,
12:15placed under the sign of the Awakening of the Week.
12:18We are in the 15th edition.
12:20We can say that we have very beautiful works.
12:23The artists have responded well.
12:26The theme is super important.
12:28I think we are currently in a world
12:30where we have to awaken people.
12:32I think that the Awakening of the Week
12:35is to simply say
12:37that we have to think about essential issues.
12:40More than 200 works are exhibited in these rooms.
12:43Artistic creations full of enigmas, decrypted.
12:46This is the case of the work exhibited
12:48by Malik, a Senegalese designer.
12:50As a Senegalese designer,
12:52this BNL represents an opportunity for me.
12:55They are amazed to see a Kalech transformed into an ambulance.
13:02This is not very familiar to the Senegalese.
13:07So to see a Kalech that has shock absorbers, blades,
13:11an electric solar system that gives energy.
13:17His gift from Mali to this edition
13:20has expressed his satisfaction.
13:23I was pleasantly surprised by this edition.
13:31I think we were at the essential.
13:35Dakar has always been a great reference
13:38in contemporary art made in Africa.
13:43African artists turn to the door to be there.
13:50Rich paintings in color, figures and other artistic creations
13:54exhibited are appreciated by visitors.
13:57I find the place so welcoming.
14:00The works are extraordinary.
14:02I can't even describe what I feel.
14:05I feel that Africa has extraordinary talent
14:08and that it can spread this talent all over the world.
14:11During this 15th edition of the Dakar Biennale,
14:15the works of various artists will allow the public
14:18to contemplate art in all its splendor and diversity.
14:22Until next December,
14:24this artistic rendezvous of Dakar
14:26is a major moment of expression and communion
14:29for the explosion of passion for art and other visitors.
14:33Sport football.
14:34To finish, the national national team
14:37has summoned the attacker of Toulouse FC, Zakaria Boukhlal,
14:41to replace Ilias Akhomash,
14:43who is unavailable until the end of the season
14:47due to a serious knee injury.
14:50A call-up that rewards the recent form of the former Z,
14:54with three goals and a decisive pass
14:57on his last three outings in League 1
15:00with the purple jerseys.
15:03The Moroccan international in 2021,
15:06selection and three achievements under the Moroccan tunic,
15:10will have the heart to show beautiful things
15:12in this gathering.
15:14As a reminder, Morocco will face Gabon in Franceville
15:17on November 15 and Les Autos three days later in Oujda
15:21for the qualifications of the African Nations Cup
15:24organized by Morocco from December 21, 2025
15:27to January 18, 2026.
15:32In addition, the new jersey of the Moroccan football team
15:36was unveiled at a large ceremony organized yesterday
15:40at Rabat Salé airport.
15:42This launch event marks a major step
15:45in the prediction of the African Nations Cup 2025,
15:48underlining the collective commitment
15:51to support Moroccan football on the international scene.
15:58And so we come to the end of this news.
16:01Thank you for following the news.
16:03We continue on Média TV.
