00:00Good evening to all and to all right away, the essentials of the news, we start with the titles.
00:23The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he wants to do everything to get the end of the war in 2025 by diplomatic means.
00:33The recent victory of Donald Trump at the US presidential election has relaunched the debate on negotiations.
00:40In Gabon, more than 850,000 voters are voting today on the draft of the new constitution proposed by the authorities of the transition.
00:5189 electoral commissions have been mobilized on the territory, developments in a few moments.
00:57And the COP29 hosted by Azerbaijan must be concluded by a new collective objective quantified.
01:071 billion dollars per year of funding provided by developed countries to those in development to face climate change from 2025.
01:17Good evening, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he wants to do everything to get the end of the war in 2025 by diplomatic means.
01:31The recent victory of Donald Trump at the US presidential election has relaunched the debate on negotiations.
01:39The story of Sheyma Fikri.
01:44A really complicated situation, this is what Volodymyr Zelensky said about the Eastern Front,
01:50a region where the Russian army is progressing rapidly in the face of less numerous and less well-armed Ukrainian troops.
01:57Faced with rapid Russian advances, especially in Donbass, the debate on possible peace negotiations,
02:04swept away by the Ukrainian President, has intensified in recent weeks.
02:09We Ukrainians, together with our partners, we must change the circumstances so that the war ends.
02:16We Ukrainians, together with our partners, must change the circumstances so that the war ends, whatever the will of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
02:24We must all change the circumstances so that Russia is constrained to peace.
02:28If we start moving forward with this idea, with this specific plan of victory, we can end the war as late as next year.
02:41The desire for the end of this war, which has lasted for almost three years, is also shared by the G7 countries.
02:48They estimated on Saturday that Russia remained the only obstacle to a just and sustainable peace and reiterated their support for Ukraine.
02:56Kiev, however, fears losing the support of the United States after the victory of Donald Trump in the presidential election.
03:03The Republican has often criticized the aid provided by his country and has assured that he will be able to resolve the conflict in 24 hours without ever detailing his method.
03:16Trump has said that he will put pressure on both sides to make a deal.
03:20He will say to Zelensky that he will withdraw American aid if he does not agree to negotiate.
03:25He has declared that he will increase aid to Ukraine if the Russians do not sit down at the negotiating table.
03:30He is trying to use his tools to force a kind of negotiated settlement.
03:38Russian and Ukrainian positions remain opposed. Kiev excludes the cession of the territories occupied by the Russian army, while Moscow places it as a condition.
03:48Russia repeatedly says that it is open to negotiations, but with concessions from Kiev.
03:54The Russian Ministry of Defense has also claimed on Saturday the seizure of two new villages in the Donetsk region.
04:02The US President Donald Trump has appointed today the spokesperson of his electoral campaign, Caroline Leavitt, to the post of White House spokeswoman in her new administration.
04:16For Trump, Leavitt has proven to be a very effective communicator. She is intelligent and hard, according to her own words.
04:24At 27 years old, Leavitt will be the youngest person to occupy this key position in the strategy of communication of the US presidency.
04:31And so, two months after the inauguration of the 47th president, the next US administration is already beginning to take shape with its key nominations.
04:45Chinese President Xi Jinping and American Joe Biden meet this Saturday in Lima for a final official face-to-face.
04:52After warning against an era of turbulence and change to come at the top of the Pacific countries located in Lima in the shadow of the re-election of Donald Trump.
05:04Sohail Jalil for the details.
05:10At the top of the PEC, Xi Jinping and Joe Biden foresee change and turbulence.
05:15Xi Jinping will meet his American counterpart, third meeting and second in a little more than a year, the two leaders will then go to the G20 in Brazil.
05:24Xi Jinping has, for his part, warned against the rise of unilateralism and protectionism and warned of an increase in the fragmentation of the global economy.
05:35The last two years have seen many changes in the international and regional situation.
05:40But bilateral relations between China and the Republic of Korea have maintained a development dynamic overall.
05:46No matter the evolution of the situation, China and the Republic of Korea must stick to good neighborhoods and remain attached to the goal of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation.
05:59US Secretary of State Antony Blinken accompanied US President Joe Biden during his meeting with the Chinese president.
06:07Antony Blinken assured that his country has been able to re-imagine, re-dynamize, revitalize and strengthen its alliances and partnerships in a new way in the Asia-Pacific region.
06:19Here in the Asia-Pacific, we bolstered trilateral cooperation with Japan and Korea.
06:24We have strengthened bilateral cooperation with Japan and Korea.
06:30We have strengthened our ties with Asia.
06:33We have strengthened our relations with Vietnam and Indonesia.
06:36We have launched the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, bringing together 14 countries,
06:41i.e. about 40% of the world's GDP, to build safer supply chains, fight corruption and ensure the transition to clean energy.
06:58At this summit, the Sino-American discussions will aim to ease tensions on sensitive issues such as Taiwan, the South China Sea and security issues.
07:08This meeting could well mark the end of an era because the uncertainty surrounding Trump's foreign policy,
07:14especially in matters of trade and diplomacy, could plunge Chinese-American relations into an even deeper zone of turbulence.
07:23The Israeli army carried out intense air raids this Saturday between the Hezbollah headquarters in Lebanon,
07:32the day after the announcement of the examination by the Lebanese leaders of a draft proposal issued by the United States.
07:38Today, a series of strikes hit the southern outskirts of Beirut after a call to evacuate the Israeli army,
07:45which claimed to have targeted a weapons warehouse, a Hezbollah command center, in southern Lebanon.
07:51Several cities and villages have been targeted with intense Israeli strikes, according to media.
07:57Two Hezbollah-linked rescuers and their ally, Sheikh Hamel, have perished, according to the Ministry of Health.
08:06After nearly two months of war, Lebanese officials said yesterday that the US Ambassador to Beirut, Lisa Johnson,
08:15had presented to Prime Minister Najib Mikati and the head of parliament, Nabi El-Bahri, a 13-point plan,
08:22including a 60-day strike and the deployment of the army in southern Lebanon.
08:28According to an anonymous source, Nabi El-Bahri asked for a three-day delay.
08:33More than 3,440 people have been killed in Lebanon since October 9 or October 8, according to the Ministry of Health.
08:46And on southern Israel, the army continues to bomb the Gaza Strip, devastated, besieged and threatened with famine, according to the UN.
08:54Israeli troops continue their offensive in northern Gaza to prevent the Hamas from regrouping its forces, according to the army.
09:01According to civil defense, 23 people, including women and children, were killed in strikes,
09:07notably on houses and a school housing displaced people in the south and north of the Palestinian territory.
09:13A member of the Hamas political bureau reiterated the conditions of the movement for a ceasefire with Israel.
09:21The Israeli offensive in Gaza killed more than 43,700 civilians, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health.
09:33And we said it in title, the COP 29 hosted by Azerbaijan must be concluded by a new quantified collective objective.
09:41After six days of intense negotiations in Baku under the UN's aegis,
09:45they are left with a totally incompatible draft agreement on how to mobilize the billions of dollars,
09:51or even more, deemed necessary to help developing countries reduce their dependence on oil and adapt to climate disasters.
09:59But many questions remain unresolved.
10:01Who must pay? What type of financing is included in the total? On what time scale? And especially how much?
10:08And it is in this heavy atmosphere that some 200 militants are demonstrating today,
10:13like at every COP, and in silence, according to UN rules, so as not to disturb the meetings in progress.
10:23It is time for a half-way assessment in Azerbaijan, in Baku, where the first week of the COP 29 is coming to an end.
10:29On the spot, negotiations are heating up.
10:32It is difficult to find an agreement when it comes to putting several hundred billion dollars on the table
10:37However, the stake is there, to help developing countries to deal with climate change.
10:46Regarding the negotiations, today is the last day before the arrival of the ministers on Monday.
10:51This is an essential opportunity to address as many questions as possible before the last political week of the COP 29.
10:57We have progressed on many mandates.
11:00This includes several key priorities, such as Article 6 on the carbon trade market.
11:06But there is still a lot to do.
11:09There is still a long way to go.
11:12But everyone is very aware of the challenges.
11:18Developing countries, represented for the most part by demonstrators and environmentalists,
11:23on the spot claim about 1,300 billion dollars a year to fight against climate change by 2030.
11:30This amount is crucial to finance initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate impacts.
11:41Conferences like the COP do not lead to any significant action.
11:45Just look at last year.
11:47There was a record level of greenhouse gas emissions and 2024 was the hottest year ever recorded.
11:55What are these climate conferences all about?
12:01Developing countries, notably the 45 least developed nations,
12:05demand a specific allocation of at least 220 billion dollars a year for their particular needs.
12:11Discussions also focus on the way in which these funding will be constituted
12:15and on the role of the private sector in their mobilization.
12:18In short, although the issues are recognized by all participants,
12:22there is still a long way to go before reaching a consensus on the necessary global climate funding
12:28to face the current environmental challenges.
12:33And now, the Gabon.
12:34Some 850,000 voters are voting today on the new constitution project proposed by the authorities of the transition.
12:42This is the second project of the constitution since the country's independence.
12:46This constitutional referendum is the last stage of the National Inclusive Dialogue,
12:51launched last April for the organization of free and transparent presidential elections.
12:57To ensure the good progress of this period, 89 electoral commissions have been mobilized on the territory,
13:03in addition to about fifteen abroad.
13:10So, as far as the issues of this constitutional referendum are concerned,
13:13I suggest you listen to the analysis of Henri Zosy, political analyst.
13:19So, it was since August 2023 that we witnessed this turning point in history,
13:26with the arrival of President Oligui Nguema,
13:31and indeed, as president of the transition, it was important for him, in any case,
13:36to be able to, in a certain way, legitimize the power he has,
13:42the privilege he has exercised so far,
13:44by endowing Gabon with a new constitution,
13:47in which a certain number of provisions have been planned, which are controversial for some.
13:52But, basically, it's about being able to give Gabon a strong presidential regime,
13:59with, in particular, the removal of the post of prime minister,
14:03but rather the appointment of a vice prime minister,
14:07which suggests to some that it's a way of getting things back on track.
14:11A second important element is the duration of the presidential mandate.
14:15The limitation is to have a 7-year renewal mandate only once,
14:20and there are also, of course, the conditions to be able to run for the presidential election.
14:28You have to be between 35 and 70 years old.
14:32There are other important provisions,
14:34such as the requirement to have one of the two Gabonese parents of origin
14:40to be able to run for the election.
14:42The nationality, one and exclusive, which until now had been put forward,
14:46has fallen since there has been debate on this subject.
14:51A day of electoral silence in Senegal,
14:548 months after the presidential election,
14:56Senegal returns this Sunday to the polls for anticipated legislatures.
15:02What you announced after the dissolution in September of the old parliament,
15:06Alain Benany comes back on the issues of these legislatures.
15:13As during the presidential election of March 24, 2024,
15:16there will be more than 7.3 million registered voters who will vote this Sunday
15:21to elect the 165 deputies who will sit in the National Assembly for 5 years.
15:27These anticipated legislative elections are held after the dissolution of the parliament
15:31announced in September by President Bassirou Dioumaïfaï.
15:35The main issue of these elections is to know if the voters will give the absolute majority
15:41to the National Assembly to the regime embodied by the duo Dioumaï Sonko,
15:46or if they will make the choice to balance the powers by giving a majority to the opposition
15:51and in fact open the way to a cohabitation.
15:54The executive needs a majority of 3 to 5 to revise the constitution without going through the referendum.
16:01The opposition warns against the danger of entrusting hegemonic power to the president and his government.
16:08Concerning the electoral system, the 165 seats of the parliament will be distributed
16:13according to a parallel scrutiny mode combining national proportional representation
16:18and a departmental majority scrutiny.
16:22The seats are put into play in 54 electoral circumstances distributed as follows
16:2746 departments of Senegal and 8 circumstances of the diaspora.
16:32As for political parties and coalitions, 41 lists are listed.
16:38Among the most in demand, we can mention PASTEF, the patriots, with as head of line
16:43Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko, Takoua Lou, Senegal, with as head of list
16:48the former president Macky Sall, the coalition SAMSAKADOU, which has as head of list
16:53the mayor of Dakar Barthélémy Dias, and Jamak Njarine, led by the former prime minister
16:58and presidential candidate Amadou Ba.
17:01All, in any case, should find realistic solutions to the problems of Senegalese,
17:06including expensive living, housing, the employability of young people and health.
17:11Finally, the polling stations will open on Sunday at 8 p.m. and will close at 6 p.m.
17:17Direction, at present, Mali.
17:20USAID has just launched a new project aimed at facilitating access to justice and its modernization.
17:26A project that sees the light of day seven years after the Mali Justice Project.
17:30The explanations with our correspondent Mohamed Dagnoko.
17:35The institutional reinforcement of justice, the fight against corruption,
17:39the respect of human rights and facilitate the access of the population to justice
17:43are the four components of this new project, called Saria Bato, or the respect of the state of law.
17:49A big project that we will also pursue is the question of modernization of the courts.
17:56In terms of computer science, there are too many preventive detentions in this country,
18:02unfortunately, once again.
18:04I think that working on the computerization of civil and criminal chains,
18:10with the support of a large agency with which we have collaborated in the past,
18:15will allow us to have a much more equitable reading of the state of the files
18:21and the way in which the performance can be improved.
18:25This five-year project, endowed with an envelope of US$15 million,
18:29i.e. 9 billion francs CFA, will work with the actors of justice
18:34and many civil society organizations to support the population
18:39and help in the fight against corruption.
18:42When justice is done in a convenient way,
18:47it dissuades people from committing corrupt practices.
18:53This project will also help to popularize and spread the criminal code
18:58and the criminal procedure code that was adopted on October 31
19:03by the National Council of Transition.
19:06Allow me to highlight, with a happy coincidence,
19:10that the launch of this new project, IOSAID Sariabato,
19:14took place at a time when Malian justice launched a new consecutive turn
19:19to a vast legislative, structural, institutional and organizational reform program of magnitude.
19:26Mal Justice Project, which preceded this new project,
19:29lasted 7 years with an envelope of some 20 billion francs CFA.
19:36In Morocco, rumors spread on social networks confirming the implementation of a tariff
19:42to access the Hassan II Mosque and its facilities,
19:46an information denied by the authorities, which denounces simple fake news.
19:51Let's listen to this report by Younes Mezzi and Younes Azrili.
20:05Fake news widely spread by social networks.
20:08A tariff was indeed established to access the Hassan II Mosque
20:12outside of prayer hours, both for foreign tourists and Moroccans.
20:17Of course, these tariffs are allocated to official visits
20:21supervised by specialized guides, including all the installations of the mosque.
20:30This monument was the target of fake news, which affects its splendor.
20:33It affected it touristically, economically and socially.
20:37These rumors dissuade visitors from coming,
20:39because they believe they should pay a toll to see this monument.
20:44A fact confirmed by the citizens and visitors of the site,
20:48who confirmed the absence of any fee or payment for access to the site.
20:55People just have to come to see for themselves that nothing has changed to access this site.
21:00It is a place that brings together visitors from all over the world
21:03and constitutes a pride for our nation and us, citizens.
21:07It should be noted that these tariffs contribute to cover the costs of the efforts
21:11made to maintain the cleanliness and splendor of the mosque,
21:15considered as one of the most important religious and touristic attractions in the kingdom,
21:20and to finance the new services offered to visitors to make their experience more attractive.
21:27In Casablanca, the 3rd edition of the Moroccan Automotive Technology Salon was held.
21:32This Salon highlights the technological advances and innovations
21:36in the repair and maintenance sector.
21:39Aissam Abbali and Alaa Ben Nani for the details.
21:44A major event for the Moroccan automotive industry.
21:47The 3rd edition of the Moroccan Automotive Technology Salon
21:50is a platform for exchange and innovation.
21:53An opportunity for car lovers to discover the technological advances
21:58and market trends and pre-sale of automobiles.
22:02This sector benefits from a privileged position
22:05and brings together various actors engaged in the supply of the national market
22:10as a spare part to meet the needs of local consumers.
22:14We also notice today an important phenomenon,
22:17the number of importers who are starting to invest in local production
22:21and who trust the Moroccan national industry and innovation,
22:25and who are starting to export it.
22:29The Moroccan Automotive Technology Salon
22:32is the main meeting and exchange platform
22:35for car spare parts manufacturers and distributors,
22:38maintenance, repair and service specialists,
22:41as well as tire and garage equipment professionals.
22:45This flagship event offers exhibitors a privileged showcase
22:49to present their innovative products,
22:52as well as the opportunity to share their knowledge
22:55and discover the latest trends and advances
22:58in a sector that is constantly evolving,
23:01both in Morocco and internationally.
23:10For the driver, quality is having a safe life,
23:13and we are proud to participate in a Moroccan event
23:16presenting a Moroccan industry for Moroccan drivers.
23:20This event highlights innovations in terms of car safety,
23:24including seatbelts, airbags, ABS anti-lock systems,
23:28and electronic stability systems,
23:31components that are constantly evolving.
23:38Each product goes through different validation stages
23:41before being put up for sale,
23:44and must comply with strict standards
23:47imposed by the Moroccan Institute of Normalization
23:50in order to approve the quality of the safety accessories.
23:53And I think every Moroccan should be at least
23:56interested in the safety of their vehicle.
24:10Salam Atouna is a label that fights
24:13against the counterfeiting of car spare parts
24:16and allows us to distinguish clean shops
24:19that sell authentic products from dubious non-labeled shops.
24:25Created in 2017, JIPAM, an interprofessional car group
24:28in Morocco, brings together around 60 companies,
24:31including car spare parts manufacturers and importers,
24:34repair teachers, lubricants and liquids specialists,
24:37as well as tool and garage equipment professionals.
24:46And that's how this edition ends.
24:49Thank you for following it.
24:52But of course, the information continues on Medea.
24:55Thank you for staying with us.
