00:00Good evening and welcome to Mediantv. Thank you for joining us for a new newscast. Here are the headlines.
00:22Spain has raised the red alert for a storm in the south-east of the country after a night of heavy rain. Morocco has sent 24 trucks and 72 engineers to contribute to the rescue efforts.
00:36Donald Trump announces the appointment of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. Marco Rubio is a senator in Florida and a pro-Republican figure.
00:45Morocco celebrates World Diabetes Day today. This disease affects more than 25,000 children in Morocco and more than 2.7 million adults.
00:56In Morocco, strong gusts of wind with dust storms are expected in several provinces of the country. These gusts of wind can reach up to 5 km per hour.
01:10The General Directorate of Meteorology announced that these gusts will affect the provinces of Figueg, Jrada, Oujdenged, Taourirt, Boulmen and Midelt.
01:17The same phenomenon is expected in the provinces of Azila, Lhaus, Shishawa and Ouarzazate.
01:23Morocco has sent a massive help to Spain to support the country against the devastating floods that have affected the region of Valence.
01:32An initiative that shows the solidarity of the Kingdom towards this neighboring and close country.
01:36Explanations with Younes Benzinem.
01:39From the north of Morocco, 25 fire trucks arrive at the port of Motril in southern Spain.
01:46Their destination is the region of Valence, the most affected by the deadly floods.
01:52The convoy includes no less than 70 specialized workers. They have the mission to participate in the rehabilitation work of the affected areas.
02:00The Moroccan trucks have the necessary equipment to carry out the priority task, i.e. the cleaning of the mud and the unclogging of the sewers according to the delegate of the government in Valence, Pilar Bernabé.
02:12Morocco was one of the first countries to offer its help after the floods of October 29, according to the Spanish Ministry of the Interior.
02:20Shortly after the floods, His Majesty King Mohammed VI ordered the Minister of the Interior to contact his Spanish counterpart.
02:27To make him aware of his total willingness to send rescue teams and provide all the help necessary to the Iberian neighbors.
02:34The sovereign also reiterated his condolences and his solidarity with the Spanish authorities and the families of the victims.
02:41In addition to Moroccan aid, the Valence region has also activated the European mechanism of civil protection.
02:48A device that allows other countries such as France and Portugal to join their efforts for international support.
02:55The floods caused by an intense storm called Dana have killed at least 214 people.
03:01In just 8 hours, the storm poured down the equivalent of a year of rain,
03:05while scientists estimate that the intensity of this meteorological phenomenon could be linked to climate change.
03:14We are waiting for the meteorological agency to wake up on Thursday.
03:17Its red alert to storms in the south and east.
03:20At the end of a night marked by heavy rainfall, the authorities did not report any new victims.
03:25The meteorological agency has retrograded to the orange level.
03:28Its alert for the province of Malaga in Andalusia and for the Valence region,
03:32hit two weeks ago by floods that killed at least 220 people.
03:38More than 43,700 dead in the Gaza Strip.
03:43This is the new figure announced by the Palestinian authorities.
03:46This figure adds up to at least 5,000 injured people.
03:49In the last 24 hours, at least 20 people have been killed in several air strikes carried out by the Israeli army.
03:55The strikes took place in the city of Gaza, but also in Jabalia in the north and Arafat in the south,
04:00according to the spokesman of the Palestinian authorities, Mahmoud Bassel,
04:04who also reported about thirty injured people.
04:09At least three dead in an Israeli raid in Baalbeck.
04:12The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported 12 injured people and human remains found on the site.
04:17Israeli strikes also targeted the southern sectors of Beirut this Thursday,
04:21according to the Lebanese official press agency.
04:23Since Tuesday, at least six series of Israeli strikes have targeted the southern suburbs of Beirut, day and night.
04:31In addition to the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, Israel is carrying out murderous attacks in Syria.
04:36At least 20 people have been killed in Israeli air strikes, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
04:42Al-Azhar has carried out an air strike since the Syrian Golan,
04:45targeting residential buildings in the district of Mazeh in Damascus and the region of Routsaya,
04:50killing 15 people and injuring 16 others, including women and children.
04:55The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency was received this Thursday in Tehran by the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
05:02These interviews are seen as a chance for diplomacy before Donald Trump's return to the White House.
05:08The American president was, during his first mandate,
05:11the craftsman of a so-called maximum pressure policy against Iran,
05:15after announcing the restoration of heavy sanctions against Tehran.
05:20This official, Donald Trump, names Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.
05:24The Senator of Florida is a figurehead of the Republican Party.
05:28Donald Trump has also chosen Tulsi Gabbard, former Democrat of the Congress,
05:32to occupy the post of Director of National Intelligence,
05:35while Matt Gaetz will inherit the post of Minister of Justice.
05:39At the High Chamber of Congress, Marco Rubio is in charge of the powerful Foreign Affairs Commission,
05:44which plays a leading role in foreign policy.
05:47It is responsible for the authorization and supervision of foreign aid programs and arms sales.
05:58Back to the new nominations of Donald Trump with Sheyma Afikri.
06:04Barely elected 47th President of the United States,
06:07Donald Trump launches the first political projects of his second mandate.
06:12The list of first names that could make him enter the administration of the next tenant of the Oval Office
06:18displays some personalities of size.
06:20Without much surprise, Elon Musk appears.
06:23The richest man in the world, whose involvement in the campaign will have had a massive impact,
06:29could well co-direct the new Ministry of Governmental Efficiency
06:33alongside the Republican businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
06:37This nomination responds to a campaign promise and underlines Trump's intention
06:42to exploit commercial expertise in government operations.
06:46The nephew of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Robert Kennedy Jr.,
06:50anti-vax independent candidate who had allied with Donald Trump in the last straight line,
06:55could also be entrusted with public health responsibilities.
06:59Presented by Trump as a solid champion of his vision of America first,
07:03Mike Waltz sees himself as a key role model for the National Security Council of the White House.
07:09Elected from Florida to the House of Representatives,
07:12Waltz is a member of three strategic commissions
07:15dedicated to the army, foreign affairs and intelligence.
07:19Trump plans to appoint the Republican Senator of Florida, Marco Rubio, as Secretary of State.
07:25The influential Cuban-born senator and vice-president of the Senate Intelligence Commission
07:30will be the architect of the foreign policy of Donald Trump,
07:34who promised to put an end to the war in Ukraine and the Middle East without ever explaining how.
07:39Faithful among the faithful, Suzy Wise, who led the Republican's victorious campaign,
07:45will be its Cabinet Secretary, a post never occupied by a woman.
07:48The Secretary General of the White House is one of the key functions of the American presidency.
07:54He is responsible for the good daily functioning of the executive power of the greatest world power.
08:00Trump's list shows another woman in his administration, the pro-Israeli Elise Stefanik.
08:06The representative of the State of New York could be named US Ambassador to the UN.
08:12The former Army Major and current Fox News presenter, Pete Hexett, is appointed Secretary of Defense.
08:19Donald Trump has also announced his intention to appoint the former elected John Ratcliffe as head of the CIA.
08:25For his part, Lee Zeldin could become the new Director of the Environmental Protection Agency.
08:31In the position of Chief of Policy of his new administration,
08:35Donald Trump has chosen his long-time advisor, Stephen Miller,
08:39who is also a supporter of the hard line in terms of immigration.
08:44Still in terms of immigration, the 47th President has led the return of Tom Oman,
08:49a member of a hard line in terms of immigration,
08:52at the head of the Agency Responsible for Border Control.
08:56The Governor of South Dakota, Christine Ohem,
08:59has been selected to lead the Department of Homeland Security.
09:03And finally, at the post of Ambassador in Israel,
09:05is the former Governor, Mike Huckabee, who could secure it.
09:09The nomination, however, requires the confirmation of the Senate,
09:12where the Republicans will have the majority.
09:15In the Trumpist world, the selection criteria are classic.
09:18First, loyalty to the leader.
09:20Then, televised presence and ideological compatibility.
09:24Trump has declared that his nominations aim to dismantle government bureaucracy,
09:29reduce excessive regulations, cut unnecessary expenses and restructure federal agencies.
09:36This aligns with the objectives of his previous administration,
09:40which aims to reduce the size and influence of the government.
09:46The Tunisians protest against the deterioration of the economic situation.
09:50The Tunisian Forum on Economic and Social Law confirmed in its latest report
09:53that the month of October 2024 has seen an intensification of social movements
09:57in several regions of the country.
09:59The account is of Neige Wabecha.
10:02A dozen workers are working in a factory in the region of Sbiha,
10:07in the governorate of Kairouan, in the center of Tunisia,
10:11demonstrating on Bourguiba Street in Tunisia,
10:14demanding the release of their colleagues,
10:17detained after demonstrating to reject the decision of the management of their factory
10:23to fire a number of them.
10:27I came to support the unemployed workers of the factory in Sbiha,
10:34who are being punished collectively.
10:36Is it reasonable that 600 workers are subject to justice
10:40simply because they have claimed their rights?
10:45The deterioration of the economic and social conditions in the country
10:50has led to numerous demonstrations in Tunisia.
10:53In its latest report, the Tunisian Forum on Economic and Social Law
10:58indicated that the month of October 2024
11:01has been marked by an intensification of protest movements throughout the country,
11:06with a total of 300 demonstrations,
11:09an increase of 9% compared to the month of September.
11:15These figures remain linked to the political context.
11:18After the end of the elections, we are now faced with a new stage
11:22which will be an opportunity for social actors
11:25to come out and express their claims,
11:28especially after having received great social promises before the elections.
11:33We have also noticed that there are concerns about the financial law
11:38because many expect their claims to be included in the financial law.
11:44And if this is not done,
11:46we expect social protests to break out in the coming period.
11:52According to the Tunisian Forum,
11:54demonstrations have also taken place in various regions
11:58on issues related to access to drinking water, electricity,
12:03safety and the provision of health and transport services.
12:08Residents have expressed their discontent
12:11with the inefficiency of the authorities in resolving these daily issues.
12:17Protests have also concerned the increase in the cost of living
12:21and the shortages of certain food sources,
12:25echoing a rampant inflation.
12:30In Mauritania, the trial is being called for by former President Mohamed Ould Aziz.
12:34It opened yesterday in Nouakchott.
12:36The former leader had presided over the country from 2008 to 2019
12:39after a first conviction and five years in prison.
12:42In December 2023, his lawyers called for the decision.
12:45It now appears that he is on the side of a dozen high-ranking officials and relatives,
12:49including two former Prime Ministers and two former directors of large companies
12:53for illicit enrichment, abuse of power, influence trafficking or even whitening.
13:02Senegalese elect their MPs on Sunday.
13:04The 7.3 million registered can confirm their choice of March
13:08by giving a parliamentary majority to President Ambassador Dioumae and his Prime Minister.
13:12Senegalese MPs are called to elect 165 MPs for five years.
13:16Without the support of the Legislative, the Executive would have a hard time keeping its electoral promises.
13:21The Executive needs a majority of three-fifths to revise the Constitution as promised,
13:25without going through the referendum.
13:30We stay in Senegal, where the electoral campaign continues until tomorrow,
13:33a few days before the legislative elections on November 17.
13:36Digital represents a fundamental space in this campaign,
13:40especially through social networks.
13:42This is a report by Abdoulrahim Bari and Moussa Ndiaye.
13:46Senegal has more than 10 million Internet users,
13:50of which nearly 4 million are users of social networks.
13:54These digital platforms have become present in the legislative election campaign.
14:00Anticipated for November 17, 2024, the objective is to convince voters.
14:06Social networks play an important role in the electoral process.
14:10First, they serve as a relay.
14:12They are platforms that create interactions between voters.
14:17If social networks are so important to galvanize voters,
14:22the use of them can lead to skirmishes.
14:26For users, it is necessary to be careful about the content that is broadcast on digital platforms.
14:32The content may be relevant to everyone,
14:35but it may be false or not verified.
14:38Beyond that, we must be aware of the changes of the time.
14:42Today's election will have an impact on the future of our population.
14:47So public speeches must be controlled,
14:51and must be adapted to the target we are addressing.
14:55Any speech can incite public action among the population,
15:00and these actions can have a major impact on the course of the election.
15:04The risk is that it creates a polarization of the message that is broadcast by the actors.
15:09But also, the other risk is that there is a tendency that we observe on social networks.
15:14When the mass takes a path, takes a direction,
15:18it is very difficult for someone to take the opposite path, at the risk of being launched.
15:22During this electoral period in Senegal,
15:25communication plays an essential role in mobilization.
15:29Social networks, while offering visibility in this time of electoral campaign,
15:34require the vigilance of candidates and voters to avoid any manipulation.
15:41The Gorée Institute organized the 5th edition of the Regional Forum of Young People.
15:46For two days, more than 40 young people from Mali, Burkina, Niger, Ivory Coast or Senegal
15:52met and in the heart of their exchanges,
15:54how to make young people real actors of change.
15:57Here is a report by Mohamed Taniouko.
16:00With the theme of the role and commitment of young people in governance,
16:04citizenship and peace in the Sahel,
16:06this forum, which brought together young people from Mali, Burkina Faso,
16:10Niger, Ivory Coast and Senegal,
16:13aims to create a space of exchange around the challenges of the Sahel,
16:20which are, for example, bad governance, political and institutional instability
16:25and the issue related to violent extremism and terrorism.
16:29This forum brings us a plus, because as young people we must educate ourselves
16:34and we must also discuss these different issues to bring a plus for our states,
16:38which are states that are currently in transition and that are in full mutation.
16:42This will allow us to contribute to give interesting ideas
16:48so that our states can have a model on which they will function tomorrow.
16:52Having been an actor of many regime changes in the last years in the Sahel,
16:57it is time, according to the organizers, that these young people go beyond the contestation
17:03to become co-producers and co-supervisors of public policies.
17:08The fact that some of these young people can meet,
17:12especially from Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal and Niger,
17:17in the context of a program called the Gorayouf Leadership Academy,
17:23so that they can meet annually to discuss and exchange ideas on these issues
17:28and also to position them on the decision-makers, of course.
17:34Beyond the states, this forum also allows young people from these countries
17:38to connect and work together for a peaceful and developed Sahel.
17:43It is an opportunity to share what we do in our respective countries,
17:49to share experiences, to give us ideas,
17:53so that we can continue to improve our associative activities, our activities in political parties.
17:58For the organizers, with an African youth, especially from the Sahel,
18:02which makes up 73% of the population,
18:05it is inconceivable to be able to manage without associating them.
18:11Morocco celebrates World Diabetes Day today.
18:14This year it is based on the theme of diabetes and well-being.
18:17As every year, this day aims to mobilize to prevent and fight against this disease
18:22and its complications by focusing on well-being in care.
18:26In Morocco, this disease affects more than 25,000 children and more than 2.7 million adults,
18:31of which 50% are undiagnosed.
18:34The ministry highlights the importance of early diagnosis and screening.
18:38This is a report by Ayub Dalaza and the story of Younes Benidzinem.
18:44Diabetes progresses at an alarming rate in Morocco.
18:47The Ministry of Health's data is flawless.
18:50Nearly 3 million adults and more than 25,000 children are affected by this pathology,
18:55while 2.2 million are in the pre-diabetic phase.
18:59Diabetes must be treated with regular monitoring of symptoms and complications.
19:10The treatment must constantly adapt to the patient's benefit and to the evolution of the disease.
19:19According to health professionals, the outbreak of disease cases
19:25is linked to profound changes in the way of life and diet.
19:29Exacerbated by a late takeover of the disease,
19:32the Ministry of Health has launched a national screening and diagnosis campaign
19:37in all health care institutions.
19:44As in previous years, this screening and diagnosis campaign
19:48allows to mobilize several stakeholders, including civil society actors,
19:57to raise awareness among the majority of people about the dangers of this disease.
20:05According to WHO estimates, the prevalence rate of diabetes in the adult population is 12.4%.
20:12This pathology is the cause of more than 12,000 deaths per year and the origin of 32,000 additional deaths,
20:18attributable to complications due to high levels of glucose in the blood.
20:24We see that diabetes is progressing in Morocco.
20:26So how do we fight this disease?
20:29Dr. Fatem Zahra Mouzouni, Head of Metabolic and Endocrine Diseases Services at the Ministry of Health, tells us more.
20:37People who are in charge of primary health care institutions,
20:41and who are in the order of more than 1.5 million,
20:44receive treatment for free at the primary health care institutions,
20:51in this case oral antidiabetics, insulin.
20:54We also ensure metabolic monitoring at the level of these structures.
20:58And when the reference requires that these patients be referred to higher levels,
21:05all doctors do it so that these people benefit from a specialized consultation.
21:14Of course, there are other efforts that are being made in the context of universal medical coverage.
21:22There is the reduction of drug prices.
21:26There is also the reimbursement, as you know,
21:31diabetes is among the long-term infections that exist in the ALD list
21:38and which are reimbursed by social prevention organizations.
21:44What role does civil society play in the prevention and fight against diabetes?
21:48We listen to the answer of Dr. Fatem Zahra Mouzouni,
21:51Head of Metabolic and Endocrine Diseases Services.
21:54Diabetes, as I said earlier, is not a matter for the Ministry of Health and Social Protection alone.
22:02It is a disease that requires a multidisciplinary, multisectoral approach
22:10and which also requires a societal approach.
22:13And as such, civil society,
22:17in particular diabetics associations or associations that work on diabetes,
22:24have a primordial role to be on our side and accompany us
22:30to reverse the trend of this plague,
22:36to promote healthy living, but also to ensure therapeutic education,
22:43which is the cornerstone of taking care of diabetes,
22:48so that these people living with this metabolic condition can have all the skills
22:54and have autonomy to better manage their illness on a daily basis.
23:00This is the end of this news. Thank you for following it. Stay with us.
