00:00Thank you for joining us for this episode of L'Actualité, here are the headlines.
00:22The economic days of Morocco and France in the Ayoub, Sakia El Hamra and Darla Ouededab.
00:29More than 50 decision-makers and French business leaders are taking part in this event.
00:33Details in a few moments.
00:38Donald Trump continues to unveil the casting of his future administration before a capital meeting on Wednesday with Joe Biden at the White House.
00:46Marco Rubio and Christine Oehm should be appointed to strategic positions.
00:53Let's take a look at the headlines of the 29th UN Conference on Climate Change.
00:59The main focus of Baku is to negotiate a new annual financial aid figure for developing countries.
01:06Details in a few moments.
01:11Welcome ladies and gentlemen.
01:13By instruction of His Majesty the King, Supreme Leader and Chief of Staff of the Royal Armed Forces,
01:20General of the Armed Forces Mohamed Berid, Inspector General of the FARC and Commander of the South Zone,
01:25co-chaired this Tuesday in Rabat with the General of the Division El Mortar Boleh Shahabane,
01:32Chief of Staff of the Muslim Republic of Mauritania,
01:37the fifth meeting of the Moroccan-Mauritanian Military-Mixed Commission.
01:41This meeting, which testifies to the solidity of military cooperation between the Royal Armed Forces and the Mauritanian Armed Forces,
01:48is an opportunity for the two parties to draw up the 2024 report
01:53and to stop the activities to be included in the 2025 cooperation program,
01:59indicates a statement from the Chief of Staff of the FARC.
02:02On this occasion, the two military officials congratulated each other on the excellence of this bilateral cooperation
02:08and its positive assessment in the various areas,
02:11including security, defence, training, as well as the exchange of experience and expertise.
02:21As we see, economic days in Morocco and France,
02:24in the regions of Sakia El Hamra and Darlaouine d'Arabe.
02:28Nearly 50 decision-makers and French business leaders are taking part in this event
02:33as part of the concretization of the French decision
02:37to recognize the Moroccan identity of Sarah and the sovereignty of Morocco on this territory.
02:42The French Ambassador to the Kingdom of Morocco, Christophe Lecourtier,
02:46accompanied by a strong delegation, is also taking part in this meeting.
02:50This initiative follows an official high-level visit during which the two countries have renewed their commitments,
02:57also reinforcing economic cooperation in future strategic areas,
03:02and in particular in the southern provinces.
03:07On the issue of these economic days in Morocco and France,
03:10let's listen to Jean-Charles Damblin.
03:12He is the Director General of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Morocco.
03:18The importance, if you will, for the CFCM is always to support the Moroccan regions.
03:24There have been recent statements.
03:26The idea came to do this roadshow in the southern regions.
03:31Today we arrived in Laayoune.
03:33We will stay in Laayoune tomorrow for a presentation of the PDR,
03:37which will be made with about 50 business decision-makers who are with us today.
03:43A presentation of the PDR of the region,
03:46and in the afternoon a site visit, which is the UM6P of Laayoune.
03:51Subsequently, we will resume a flight directly to Laayoune.
03:55For us, it is important to be able to accompany the companies.
03:58Here we have companies, of course, French companies,
04:01subsidiary companies of the French group that are already installed.
04:04I will not name the names, but large companies that come here
04:07to see a little bit, to take advantage of the different opportunities.
04:10And it is important to accompany, if you will, this movement to the south.
04:13The Chamber has been accompanying the movement to the south since 2017,
04:17with the opening of its delegation to Laayoune.
04:20The Chamber has been accompanying the movement to the south since 2017,
04:23with the opening of its delegation to Laayoune.
04:27But it was still important to carry out a mission,
04:30to show companies that we are present,
04:33and that the region will offer them strong opportunities.
04:37It reinforces this by the fact that our relationship is already economically anchored.
04:42We heard it during President Macron's visit,
04:46the figures that were given, 14 billion euros in exchange
04:49between the two countries, also France,
04:52the first foreign direct investor in Morocco.
04:55So to reinforce them, it is not only to reinforce them
04:58in the Casablanca, Tangier, Rabat region, on the main axis,
05:01but it is the Chamber's desire to help the regions,
05:04to accompany the regions, precisely in this reinforcement,
05:07by bringing companies, subsidiaries of the French group or French companies.
05:11We have here four companies that come from France,
05:13who wanted to come and see what was going on in Laayoune,
05:15who had never come to Laayoune or even to Darla, where we are going tomorrow.
05:19So it was important to show all of Morocco
05:22and all the regions that make it up.
05:26Claudia Goddio Francisco,
05:28President of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Morocco,
05:32and for her part, she came back on the representation of the CIMC
05:37in the southern provinces.
05:39So, we have nine delegations,
05:42and in these nine delegations that you count,
05:44there is also already Laayoune and Darla.
05:47Laayoune was opened in 2017 and Darla was opened in 2019.
05:51In 2017, at the occasion of a large company forum
05:55that was organized here by my predecessor, Mr. Philippe Klein,
05:59and also a forum that was organized in Darla
06:02with the visit of 200 companies
06:04when we inaugurated our delegation in Darla.
06:08It was in November 2019, it seems to me,
06:11under the presidency of Mr. Klein as well.
06:13So the impulse, if you will, of the southern provinces,
06:15has been given since 2017 at the Chamber level,
06:17and today we continue to bring these provinces to life,
06:23and we have continued our approach
06:26by opening our delegation in Gelmim in February 2024.
06:29So we continue and we hope that today
06:33all the companies will accompany us in these delegations
06:36and bring these delegations to life with us
06:39on future investments.
06:42Drug traffickers as well.
06:44The Spanish Civil Guard,
06:46in collaboration with the Directorate of Territorial Surveillance in Morocco,
06:50intercepted 4.7 tons of hashish
06:53on board two pneumatic boats
06:55between the islands of Grande Canary and Fuerteventura.
06:59The operation made possible
07:01thanks to close police cooperation with Morocco
07:05allowed to deploy a maritime surveillance device
07:08that located the boats loaded with 131 drugs
07:12about 80 km off the coast,
07:15according to the local press,
07:17citing police sources on Tuesday.
07:19The investigations have also been placed at the disposal
07:22of the Spanish justice,
07:24which ordered their temporary detention,
07:26according to the same source.
07:29In the conflict in the Middle East,
07:31Israel announces the opening
07:33of a new checkpoint for humanitarian aid
07:36in the Gaza Strip,
07:38on the eve of a deadline
07:40set by the United States to the Israeli authorities
07:43to allow the increase of aid to Palestinians
07:46at the risk of suspending
07:48part of their military assistance to Israel.
07:51According to the World Food Programme,
07:535,000 tons of food has been delivered to Gaza
07:56during the month of October,
07:5820% of the food aid needed
08:00for the 1 million Gazans
08:02who depend on PAM's vital aid.
08:11During this time,
08:13a series of Israeli strikes
08:15targeted today the southern border of Beirut,
08:18shortly after the Israeli army
08:20evacuated four neighborhoods.
08:22Since late September,
08:24Israeli aviation has regularly
08:26piloted the southern border,
08:28where, according to estimates,
08:30between 600,000 and 800,000 people live.
08:32Since last October,
08:34more than 3,200 people have been killed,
08:36according to Lebanese authorities.
08:41This Tuesday,
08:42Antony Blinken flew to Brussels
08:44for emergency meetings
08:46with the Europeans
08:48to try to speed up aid to Ukraine
08:50before Donald Trump takes office.
08:52The US Secretary of State
08:54will meet tomorrow
08:56NATO and EU officials
08:58to support Ukraine
09:00in its defense against Russian aggression,
09:02said in a statement
09:04his spokesman Matthew Miller.
09:06On his side,
09:08Donald Trump continues
09:10to unveil the casting
09:12of his future administration
09:14before a capital meeting
09:16on Wednesday with Joe Biden
09:18at the White House.
09:20After appointing three of his lieutenants
09:22to the EU, the environment
09:24and immigration,
09:26the 47th President of the United Nations
09:28should announce the appointment
09:30of Senator Marco Rubio
09:32as Secretary of State.
09:34He should also reward Christine Noem,
09:36a faithful of his faithful,
09:38to run the Ministry
09:40of Homeland Security,
09:42in charge of customs
09:44and border guards.
09:50And just to find out more,
09:52we meet live from Lyon,
09:54Yassine Eliatoui,
09:56university researcher and political analyst.
09:58Good evening to you.
10:00Good evening, thank you for the invitation.
10:02So, what do you make of
10:04this new nomination of Donald Trump?
10:06First of all.
10:08These nominations
10:10are in line
10:12with the second mandate
10:14that will take shape with the arrival
10:16of Donald Trump at the White House
10:18in January 2025.
10:20It will be a proactive foreign policy
10:22that will be even more
10:24offensive than during
10:26his first mandate
10:28between
10:302016 and 2020.
10:32Donald Trump really wishes
10:34the return of the
10:36great American force on the
10:38international stage.
10:40And for this, he is
10:42preparing a shock team
10:44much more experienced
10:46than during his first
10:48mandate, with
10:50a more confirmed staff,
10:52with a political baggage
10:54also more supported.
10:56We can, for example, name Suzy
10:58Wiles, who will be
11:00in charge of her
11:02presidential office at the
11:04White House. She is really
11:06the architect of the
11:08victorious electoral campaign
11:10of the Republican Party,
11:12which won 312 voters
11:14compared to Kamala Harris
11:16who only won 226.
11:18And so,
11:20Suzy Wiles really
11:22convinced
11:24Donald Trump in
11:26her first
11:28presidential office
11:30that she will be
11:32the right-hand man
11:34of the American president
11:36for his next mandate.
11:38And then, the representation
11:40of Elise Stefanik,
11:42who will be a representative
11:44of the United States
11:46at the UN,
11:48very young,
11:5040 years old,
11:52will be an ambassador
11:54who will really find
11:56a little more leadership
11:58compared to the last mandate
12:00and the Biden administration,
12:02which was a little bit
12:04messed up due to many
12:06communication errors
12:08by President Biden
12:10during his entire mandate,
12:12whether for the Russo-Ukrainian war,
12:14whether also for
12:16the war in the Middle East,
12:18and the fight
12:20and trade war with China.
12:22And also, what impact
12:24will Marco Rubio's nomination
12:26at the post of Secretary of State
12:28have on foreign policy
12:30in Washington,
12:32especially in the Middle East,
12:34the war in Ukraine, and the conflict
12:36with China?
12:38The arrival of
12:40Mr. Rubio
12:42will be very interesting
12:44because he is
12:46one of the children, let's say,
12:48of Trumpism.
12:50Trumpism has really invaded
12:52the American political landscape
12:54since 2016.
12:56And Marco Rubio
12:58simply wishes to
13:00put forward the American force,
13:02the multidimensional force,
13:04a political force,
13:06a diplomatic force,
13:08a geostrategic force,
13:10but also an economic force.
13:12And he must
13:14simply be
13:16an executor of Donald Trump
13:18at the level of
13:20diplomacy and foreign policy
13:22because, quite simply,
13:24Rubio will be
13:26in line with
13:28Trump's promise, which is
13:30as soon as possible
13:32to stop the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
13:34So, to put
13:36on the same table
13:38Ukraine and Russia,
13:40Kiev and Moscow,
13:42in order to stop the conflict
13:44and that Donald Trump
13:46in history as being
13:48the president who succeeded
13:50in stopping this
13:52conflict that is polluting
13:54the European continent and also polluting
13:56the international economy
13:58for several years, and also
14:00weakening the American economy
14:02which is under enormous
14:04inflation following
14:06this large-scale conflict.
14:08And for the conflict also in the Middle East,
14:10Rubio
14:12will also be in line
14:14with Trump's ideology
14:16in order to find
14:18a two-state solution,
14:20to also perpetuate
14:22the violence that is
14:24very intense for many months
14:26and
14:28to be a force
14:30of proposition
14:32in order to
14:34also stop
14:36the harmful influence of Hamas
14:38in the Palestinian political landscape
14:40according to Trump's ideology
14:42and therefore find a two-state solution
14:44as quickly as possible.
14:46And also concerning
14:48the question of Ukraine, as you also
14:50noted in relation to certain points,
14:52what is it today in relation to this nomination
14:54of the new American president?
14:58This Ukrainian conflict
15:00will be one of the
15:02first objectives
15:04of Donald Trump when he
15:06came to power in January
15:082025. We know
15:10that during his first term
15:12he was very close to Vladimir
15:14Putin, that relations
15:16have cooled down a little
15:18since then, but
15:20he also has
15:22some tension
15:24with President Zelensky.
15:26He will put aside
15:28the emotions and he will
15:30simply be pragmatic
15:32because he wishes
15:34a proactive American diplomacy,
15:36proactive on the international
15:38level and also
15:40mark the course of his second term,
15:42which will be his last, given that
15:44Donald Trump cannot then
15:46break a third mandate according to
15:48the American constitution.
15:50So we will feel him even more
15:52liberated and wishing to enter
15:54history. It is his goal
15:56to enter history
15:58by being the American president
16:00who was not
16:02the one who created
16:04conflicts but on the contrary
16:06who tried to resolve
16:08conflicts as quickly as possible during
16:10his two terms in order to
16:12support the American economy,
16:14to help it,
16:16to perpetuate it and
16:18to gangrene it to
16:20obviously respect
16:22his famous adage
16:24Make America First Again.
16:26And in this perspective
16:28of perpetuating these relations,
16:30there is also the question of the Kingdom of Morocco.
16:32How do you see the future of
16:34Moroccan-American relations after
16:36Donald Trump's re-election?
16:38This is excellent news
16:40for the Kingdom.
16:42Donald Trump's first mandate
16:44ended
16:46with a historic tweet
16:48with recognition of
16:50the Moroccanness of the Sahara.
16:52Unfortunately, it did not
16:54translate with the creation
16:56of a consular service in the
16:58southern provinces, but
17:00this second mandate
17:02of President Trump
17:04will translate with
17:06a legislative apparatus
17:08that is at its cause
17:10because
17:12the parliament and the
17:14American legislative apparatus
17:16are in the vast majority
17:18now under the
17:20Trumpism.
17:22And so it will simply
17:24have a transformation
17:26of the words into actions
17:28with a consular service
17:30that will be on schedule
17:32and negotiation tables with the
17:34head of Moroccan diplomacy,
17:36Nasser Bourita.
17:38So it would not be surprising
17:40in 2025, for the 50th
17:42anniversary of the Green March,
17:44to have both
17:46an American consular service
17:48in the South and a French consular service
17:50in the South, which will be
17:52totally historic because
17:54two permanent member countries
17:56of the Security Council
17:58and a diplomatic delegation
18:00in the southern provinces
18:02will really be a big step forward
18:04for the Kingdom of Morocco
18:06for its territorial integrity.
18:08A big step forward
18:10in the course, of course,
18:12of the continuity of historical
18:14and fraternal relations between
18:16the United States and Morocco.
18:18Yassine El Yatoui, thank you again.
18:20I remind you that you are a university researcher
18:22and political analyst.
18:24Thank you very much.
18:26We are now in the COP29
18:28in Azerbaijan.
18:30The head of the Moroccan government
18:32presides over a strong delegation.
18:34Aziz Arhanoush was welcomed
18:36today at the Olympic Stadium in Baku
18:38by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
18:40Ilham Aliyev
18:42and the Secretary General of the UN
18:44Antonio Guterres.
18:46The head of the government is accompanied
18:48by the Minister of Energy and Sustainable Development
18:50Leila Ben Ali and the Ambassador of Morocco
18:52in Azerbaijan Mohamed Adil Ambarj.
18:56Two worlds
18:58took to the stage today
19:00at the 29th UN Conference
19:02on Climate Change.
19:04Leaders of poor and vulnerable countries
19:06called for doubling efforts
19:08while others pleaded
19:10not to demonize gas and oil
19:12and the main arm of Baku
19:14is to negotiate
19:16a new annual financial aid figure
19:18for developing countries.
19:20This therefore calls for
19:22the doubling or more
19:24of the current amount
19:26of 116 billion dollars
19:28per year in 2022
19:30which is considered unrealistic
19:32by Westerners,
19:34rather inclined to reduce
19:36their public dependence
19:38after deficits and post-COVID inflation.
19:40This Tuesday, a first agreement
19:42was rejected by
19:44the negotiators of the South
19:46in a meeting in Uyghuristan.
19:50And on the issues
19:52of this COP29, let's listen
19:54to the analysis of Saeed Karouk,
19:56an expert in climatology.
19:58Today, with
20:00all the packaging
20:02of the global climate
20:04and the severe direct effects
20:06on all of humanity,
20:08this COP29
20:12takes place in a climate
20:14on a natural level
20:16that is beyond us.
20:18A climate
20:20that gave us
20:22in North Africa and Morocco
20:24the last
20:26floods
20:28of equatorial origin
20:30last September.
20:32Before that,
20:34there was Hurricane Milton
20:36that destroyed
20:38the United States
20:40of the South-East
20:42and not long after,
20:44what happened in Cote d'Azur
20:46not to mention
20:48in Spain.
20:50And so, we are facing
20:52a climate that has already changed,
20:54that I have called
20:56a new climate since 2010
20:58for purely
21:00scientific
21:02structural reasons.
21:04And today, we must no longer talk
21:06about climate change.
21:08We are already in a heated climate
21:10that continues to evolve.
21:12This is the great difficulty,
21:14it continues to increase.
21:16Now,
21:18humanity, since
21:20the COP of Copenhagen
21:22in 2009,
21:24has found itself
21:26in a reality that is beyond
21:28the real
21:32of not using
21:36fossil fuels.
21:38And since then, we have not really talked
21:40about the climate, nor about
21:42attenuation.
21:44We have talked about the issues
21:46around the climate,
21:48in all these summits.
21:50And today, we are going to talk about finance,
21:52quite simply.
21:54But what is finance?
21:56Finance is the countries of the South
21:58that are victims and
22:00that are waiting for the help of the countries
22:02responsible for climate change,
22:04so that there is help
22:06to support
22:08their integration.
22:10But this help does not come,
22:12it has not come since
22:142009.
22:16And we continue
22:18to meet
22:20to try
22:22to stop
22:24the increase in climate temperature.
22:26And until now, it is the climate
22:28that is taking the lead.
22:30Let's go back to Tunisia,
22:32where the former presidential candidate
22:34Ayatollah Zammal has just been cut off
22:36from a new 32-month prison sentence.
22:38He is now 35 years old.
22:40The total of sentences pronounced against him
22:42has been decided
22:44by the Manouba Tribunal
22:46for false signatures
22:48at the time of his candidacy.
22:50This 47-year-old engineer
22:52has been in prison since
22:54the confirmation of his candidacy
22:56on September 2,
22:58for suspicions of violation of the rules of collection
23:00of signatures.
23:02He obtained only 7% of the votes
23:04at the presidential election won by Raisa Sayed.
23:06Guinean
23:08and Moroccan business leaders
23:10met in Conakry
23:12to strengthen trade
23:14between the two countries.
23:16This is an initiative of the Moroccan
23:18Development, Investment and Export
23:20Agency. The highlights of this meeting
23:22with our correspondent in Conakry,
23:24Driss Hassise.
23:26Guinea and Morocco
23:28are renewing their cooperation
23:30through this meeting in Conakry.
23:32Economically,
23:34the stakeholders of the two countries
23:36have discussed, in particular,
23:38the revitalization of trade.
23:40We are making sure
23:42that wherever there is
23:44a need to
23:46make a connection between
23:48the private sector of other countries,
23:50we must also drain it for our country.
23:52We came here to present
23:54Moroccan society
23:56in the B2B Export mission
23:58to create
24:00trade partnerships
24:02that aim to
24:04attract clients here in Guinea
24:06to export Moroccan products
24:08to the Guinean market
24:10and at the same time see the possibility
24:12of importing Guinean products
24:14to Morocco.
24:16Transactions between the two countries
24:18are still very weak.
24:20According to the Moroccan Exchange Office,
24:22the Kingdom exported
24:24in 2023 about
24:261,378 million dirhams,
24:28a significant GDP rate.
24:30But with these contacts,
24:32this trend has reversed
24:34according to the same source.
24:36Guinea is a vibrant country,
24:38a country that is moving.
24:40Many reforms have been undertaken recently.
24:42There is, of course,
24:44the new plan SIMONDOU 2040,
24:46which brings a lot of growth.
24:48It is an opportunity
24:50for Moroccan societies
24:52to discuss with their
24:54brothers and sisters,
24:56to join
24:58this dynamic of growth and development.
25:00You know, Morocco is a country
25:02that is very much ahead
25:04in these issues compared to Guinea.
25:06So to see them
25:08arriving in Guinea
25:10here, to have this exchange
25:12is a great opportunity
25:14to seize.
25:16Conakry's meeting aims to exceed
25:18the $140 million
25:20shared annually by Guinea and Morocco
25:22in terms of trade.
25:24The meetings will therefore
25:26double the interest
25:28in a reciprocal way.
25:30Art is leading us to Senegal
25:32with the 15th Biennale
25:34of Contemporary African Art.
25:36This major cultural event
25:38will be held in Dakar until
25:40December 7th.
25:42An opportunity for artists
25:44to discover their creations
25:46and interact with other actors
25:48in the art world,
25:50such as Abdelrahim Bari and Cher Daou.
25:52We are in the former
25:54center of Dakar.
25:56This emblematic building
25:58also serves as an exhibition
26:00site for artists from
26:02various backgrounds.
26:04It is on the occasion
26:06of the 15th Biennale
26:08of Dakar,
26:10placed under the
26:12sign of the Awakening of the Week.
26:14We are in the 15th edition.
26:16We can say that we have
26:18very beautiful works.
26:20The artists have responded
26:22very well.
26:24We have to think about
26:26the essential questions.
26:28More than 200 works
26:30are exhibited in these rooms.
26:32Artistic creations full of enigmas
26:34are decrypted.
26:36This is the case of the work
26:38exhibited by Malik,
26:40a Senegalese designer.
26:42As a Senegalese designer,
26:44this Biennale represents
26:46an opportunity for me.
26:48They are amazed to see
26:50what is not
26:52very familiar
26:54to Senegalese people.
26:56To see a chalet with
26:58shock absorbers, blades,
27:00an electric
27:02solar system
27:04that gives energy.
27:06His brother from Mali present
27:08at this edition
27:10expressed his satisfaction.
27:12I was
27:14pleasantly surprised
27:16by this edition.
27:18I think
27:20we have been
27:22at the essential.
27:24Dakar has always been
27:26a great reference
27:28in contemporary art.
27:30Made in Africa,
27:32Africans
27:34turn to it.
27:36African artists turn to it.
27:38Rich paintings in colors,
27:40figures and other artistic creations
27:42exhibited are appreciated
27:44by visitors.
27:46The place is so welcoming.
27:48The works are extraordinary.
27:50I can't even describe
27:52how I feel.
27:54I feel that Africa has extraordinary talent
27:56and that it can spread it
27:58throughout the world.
28:00During this 15th edition
28:02of the Dakar Biennale,
28:04the works of different artists
28:06will allow the public to contemplate art
28:08in all its splendor and diversity.
28:10Until December 7,
28:12this artistic rendezvous
28:14at the Dakar Biennale
28:16will be a major moment of expression
28:18and communion for art lovers
28:20and other visitors.
28:22That's all for today.
