00:56The President of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, left Morocco on Friday afternoon after a short visit.

02:22The US Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Barbara Leaf, said that Washington appreciates the role of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI in strengthening stability, security and development in the region.
02:37Morocco is one of our oldest and closest allies. Our friendship dates back to the founding of the United States of America.

02:57Our discussions focused on our coordination and cooperation on regional priorities.
03:04The United States appreciates the constant and precious support of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI and the key role in strengthening stability, security and development in the region and in Africa.
03:17The United States appreciates Morocco's crucial role in promoting a more peaceful and secure Middle East, as well as its leadership in meeting the humanitarian needs in Gaza.
03:29It is important to emphasize the constant commitment of the Kingdom in favor of peaceful coexistence and tolerance.
03:38A statement from the Panamanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that, in accordance with the rules of international law, the Panamanian government has decided to suspend diplomatic relations with the pseudo-Rast.
03:49The Republic of Panama prioritizes international interest and is faithful to the fundamental principles of its foreign policy and reaffirms its conviction and objectives and values that guide multilateralism,
03:59a position that reiterates its desire to continue to support the efforts made by the United Nations for a peaceful, just and sustainable solution.
04:07The withdrawal of the Council of Human Rights of the UN is an essential step that testifies to Morocco's commitment to multilateral diplomacy,
04:17a diplomacy that wants to be responsible, active and turn towards the future for the promotion of human rights,
04:23said this Friday in Rabat the President of the Council, Ambassador Omar Znibel. Here is an excerpt from the statement of the Moroccan ambassador.
04:31The goal is to make the Council an organ adapted to the realities of the world as they are today,
04:40an organ that can respond to its task of promoting respect and guarantee of human rights.
04:46But what I would like to emphasize more is an extremely illustrative presence of respect in which Morocco is the object,
04:55in the framework of the United Nations system, in particular when it comes to the Council of Human Rights.
05:02Virtually all members of the Council are present here, representatives of special procedures, representatives of NGOs.
05:09This also illustrates, if you will, the appreciation of which Morocco enjoys in relation to its policy in the field of human rights,
05:18as it has been wanted and directed by His Majesty the King, may God assist him.
05:23The reforms that we are producing in Morocco, having given their fruit, they are of a certain exemplarity,
05:30but also the contribution of Morocco to all international processes on human rights issues, human issues in a more general way.
05:41The Central Bureau of Judicial Investigation and the General Prosecutor's Office of the Spanish Police
05:47have now proceeded to dismantle a terrorist cell affiliated to the DAESH organization.
05:52A cell consisting of nine members, three of whom were active in Tetouan, Fnédoc and six others in Madrid, Ibiza and Ceuta.
05:58The searches carried out have allowed the seizure of white weapons and computer equipment that will be subjected to the necessary digital expertise.
06:09For more than two decades, Morocco has been committed to a digital transformation of its educational system.
06:16As part of their cooperation, the Higher Council for Education, Training and Scientific Research and UNESCO
06:22have organized a collaborative workshop on the digitalization of the educational sector.
06:27Explanations with Soheil Jalil.
06:30From caterpillar to butterfly for a successful digital transformation.
06:34The theme of this collaborative workshop, jointly organized by the Higher Council for Education, Training and Scientific Research and UNESCO,
06:44aims to strengthen the digital transformation of the education sector in Morocco.
06:50In the five countries of the region that are covered by our office,
06:53we have seen the concern of all ministers, which is to succeed in the digital transformation.
07:00The digital transformation involves giving tablets or computers to children,
07:05training teachers, financing all changes
07:10and establishing a general framework for everything related to the digital.
07:16This is a very complicated issue that we wanted to break down, in a way,
07:21by looking at several dimensions and making a number of suggestions.
07:24All the countries of the region, and of course Morocco, have already done a lot towards the digital transformation.
07:30Our report is there to highlight certain good practices.
07:35This initiative is part of the continuity of efforts undertaken by the Kingdom to modernize its educational system,
07:42in particular by exploiting the opportunities offered by new technologies.
07:52The day will also make it possible to take into account all the efforts made by our country during these 25 years.
07:58Initially, the emphasis was naturally placed on infrastructure, connectivity,
08:03the acquisition of equipment and access to the Internet to allow our students,
08:08students and teachers to access all the resources, both at the national and international level.
08:19An initiative to bring together all the partners who can put their stone to the building
08:23to help the digital transformation of educational systems through various pillars,
08:27including connectivity, infrastructures, capacities, curricula, content, coordination and cost.
08:36Israeli strikes were aimed this Friday at the southern border of Beirut.
08:39Israeli fighter jets fired two shots this Friday afternoon on two buildings
08:44located on the outskirts of the southern border of Beirut.
08:46These strikes took place after a first wave of bombing on Friday morning,
08:50targeting three buildings in the neighborhoods of Hadath and Haaretzheir.
08:55Hashem Haidar, president of the Southern Council of the Lebanese Institution in charge of evaluating the damage,
09:00indicated that 18 villages near the border have been destroyed by 70%.
09:05Israel's goal is to create an uninhabitable buffer zone, he said,
09:09and 45,000 buildings in need of housing have been destroyed.
09:15Due to fuel shortages, Gaza Strip hospitals will be able to stop their activities in the next 48 hours.
09:21Palestinian authorities have issued an emergency warning
09:24because all Gaza Strip hospitals will cease to operate due to the obstruction of fuel entry.
09:30Israeli attacks have killed at least 44,000 civilians.
09:34Palestinian authorities say the Gaza Strip is hit by a serious humanitarian crisis
09:41where the Israeli army continues to carry out murderous bombings.
09:48Arrest warrants issued yesterday by the International Criminal Court against Benyamin Netanyahu,
09:52Yoav Golant and Mohamed Deif have aroused many reactions.
09:56Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, unconditional support from the Israeli leader,
10:00announced Friday that he would like to invite Netanyahu to Hungary.
10:04On his side, France and the United Kingdom have announced
10:07that they will take action on the arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court
10:10and remain faithful to their commitment to support international justice.
10:14Foreign Affairs Ministers of the G7 will meet on Monday and Tuesday to discuss these arrest warrants.
10:23Ukraine has recognized this Friday that Russian troops are advancing rapidly near Kolarovie.
10:28This eastern Ukrainian locality could soon be under Russian control.
10:32In Kiev, the Parliament, the Rada, canceled its session due to signals on an increased risk of attack
10:37against the governmental district in the coming days.
10:44Vladimir Putin accuses the Western countries of this escalation of tensions in a speech to the nation.
10:50He estimates that the war in Ukraine has now taken on a global character
10:54and has threatened to target the countries supplying Kiev with weapons,
10:57the developments with Al-Abnani.
11:02After the ATACMS, which targeted the Bryansk,
11:05the Storm Shadows bombarded the Russian region of Kursk.
11:08Ukraine strikes hard this time with a dozen long-range British missiles,
11:14a range that can exceed 500 km and a speed of 1,163 km per hour.
11:20A second attack in less than 48 hours on Russian territory,
11:24which ended up getting Vladimir Putin out of his mutiny.
11:29November 19
11:31On November 19, we were attacked with six ATACMS operational and tactical missiles of American manufacture.
11:38And on November 21, we were attacked again with the Storm Shadow missiles of British manufacture
11:44and Imars of American manufacture.
11:47Military installations were hit in the regions of Bryansk and Kursk.
11:52This leads us to declare that the regional conflict in Ukraine, caused by the West,
11:57has now taken on a global character.
12:08In his speech, the Russian president said that Russia had hit Ukraine on the city of Dnipro
12:14with a medium-range non-nuclear hypersonic ballistic missile.
12:19Putin said that he did not exclude the possibility of hitting Western countries,
12:24thus intensifying tensions already high between Russia and the West.
12:35We have seen in recent weeks a very sharp climb by Putin and his forces.
12:40They intensified their attacks against the electric system in Ukraine,
12:44just a few months before winter.
12:46They intensified their attacks against civilian centers and they killed children.
12:51Russia has also deployed at least 10,000 North Korean soldiers on the front line.
12:56The British government must considerably intensify its support for Ukraine.
13:01Ahead of winter, they stepped up attacks on civilian centers, killing children.
13:31This is a massive attack by a non-nuclear country, but supported by a nuclear power.
13:36A clear reference to Ukraine and the United States.
13:40In Baku, a lack of agreement. The COP29 is in prolongation.
13:44On the last official day of negotiations, the Climate Conference is officially in prolongation.
13:49Negotiators from nearly 200 countries do not agree on the new financing objective for the climate
13:54that developed countries will have to provide in the next decade to developing countries.
14:01In the midst of the COP29, Morocco's efforts for a sustainable future are celebrated.
14:04The Kingdom has just improved its policy and ranks 8th in the world in climate management.
14:08We listen to the climatologist, Seyed Karou, who comments.
14:11Morocco has made its national decision.
14:14It is to make a decision on climate change.
14:17It is to make a decision on climate change.
14:20It is to make a decision on climate change.
14:23It is to make a decision on climate change.
14:26It is to make a decision on climate change.
14:29It is to make a decision on climate change.
14:32It is to plan its future.
14:35It has seen this future through the energy choice it has made,
14:39It has seen this future through the energy choice it has made,
14:42which is alternative energy, clean energy, solar energy, and wind energy.
14:49It has already developed hydroelectric energy,
14:52It has already developed hydroelectric energy,
14:55which represents a large part of the national use.
14:58which represents a large part of the national use.
15:01Today, it is still developing, with great courage, hydrogen energy.
15:04Today, it is still developing, with great courage, hydrogen energy.
15:07Today, it is still developing, with great courage, hydrogen energy.
15:10Today, it is still developing, with great courage, hydrogen energy.
15:14This allows the Moroccans, and the Moroccans in general,
15:17This allows the Moroccans, and the Moroccans in general,
15:20to place themselves among the leaders in this field worldwide.
15:23And mainly in Africa, it is a leader.
15:26And mainly in Africa, it is a leader.
15:29It is the first to have developed its own energy policies.
15:32It is the first to have developed its own energy policies.
15:35It continues to do so,
15:38and at the same time, it develops with its allies,
15:42the African countries,
15:45the transfer of technology,
15:48and the principle of winning-winning
15:51in its relations with African countries.
15:54And so, at the summit of Baku,
15:57as at the summit of Dubai,
16:00Morocco was proud to present its know-how,
16:03and to present it as,
16:06I would not say as an alternative alternative,
16:09but as a base of cooperation with African countries.
16:12And from this point of view,
16:15it has succeeded in the national bet,
16:18it continues to succeed in developing a policy,
16:21a climate diplomacy,
16:24very advanced in the African continent.
16:27The Mohamed Tiss Foundation of African Zulema
16:30celebrates the 60th anniversary of the building of the Grand Mosque of Dakar.
16:33The building was inaugurated on March 27, 1964
16:36by His Majesty King Hassan II
16:39and the former president of Senegal, Léopold Sédar Senghor.
16:42On this occasion, an official ceremony was organized
16:45to commemorate the spiritual and historical relations
16:48between Morocco and Senegal.
16:51This commemoration includes, among other things,
16:54the organization of an international conference
16:57on the theme of the values of peace and living together
17:00in the African context,
17:04and the creation of a new government.
17:09The Malian Prime Minister, General Abdullahi Maïga,
17:12has named a new government of 28 members,
17:15marked by the departure of 7 ministers
17:18and the maintenance of some in the key positions.
17:21According to a presidential decree,
17:24the new Prime Minister, the former Minister of Administration,
17:27Territory and Spokesperson of the Government,
17:30will be replaced by the Minister of State.
17:42The review phase of the electoral list
17:45ended on November 17 in Côte d'Ivoire,
17:48after a one-week extension at the request of political actors.
17:51The Electoral Commission makes the point on this crucial stage.
17:54Explanations with Mel Berchel and Herman Doko.
17:58From October 19 to November 17, 2024,
18:01the Independent Electoral Commission conducted
18:04the review phase of the electoral list
18:072024-2025.
18:10A seven-day extension at the request of political parties
18:13allowed to maximize the enrollment of voters,
18:16a key step in the preparation of elections.
18:19At the end of this operation, the ECU presented raw data
18:22still subject to verification and treatment.
18:26Category 1.
18:29That is, people who appear on the electoral list
18:32requesting a change of voting place
18:35or personal data modification.
18:38517,927 applicants.
18:46Category 2.
18:49Definition.
18:53943,157 applicants.
19:01The Independent Electoral Commission
19:04registered 1,207 applications
19:07in radiation of supposed voters.
19:10The provisional list
19:13resulting from this technical treatment
19:16will be displayed later
19:20in all voting places.
19:24Among the highlights, the ECU has recorded
19:27a clear progression of new registrations.
19:30Nearly a quarter of the expected potential has been reached,
19:33a figure that exceeds the results of the previous exercise
19:362022-2023, where 575,489 new applicants
19:39had been registered.
19:42This progress is seen as a positive sign
19:45for the electoral process in the future,
19:48as well as a positive sign for the future
19:51of the electoral process.
19:54In Nigeria, power distribution companies
19:57have announced a new increase in the prices
20:00of electricity counters.
20:03Consumers have reacted negatively to this change,
20:06calling it a handicap, given the current economic challenges
20:09of the country.
20:12This is a report by Gilbert Tamba from Abuja.
20:15The price of a single-phase counter
20:18has gone from about 117,000 Naira,
20:21that is, 70 euros,
20:24to more than 149,000 Naira,
20:27nearly 80 euros.
20:30This figure indicates an increase of 28.3%
20:33or more than 32,000 Naira,
20:36about 20 euros, according to the distribution company
20:39and the counter seller.
20:42But prices have risen even more,
20:45according to the supplier and the region.
20:48Consumers are critical of this increase,
20:51given the economic difficulties that are currently in place.
20:54I think they should just try to be considerate.
20:57I think they should just try to reconsider their decision,
21:00given the fact that we are in a difficult economic situation.
21:03The economy is not doing well at the moment
21:06and they are constantly broadening people's problems.
21:09It's really discouraging that this can still happen at a time like this, because the Nigerians
21:16are already facing numerous economic crises, and this rather adds to our burden of existing
21:21financial difficulties, to inflation, and to everything that we are faced with.
21:28The price changes are coming from the announcement by NERC, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory
21:35Agency, last April, of a major policy change, deregulating the prices of computers, as part
21:41of a program aimed at solving the persistent problems related to the supply of computers
21:47and the transparency of prices in the electricity sector.
21:50But these electricians and experts think otherwise.
21:54I think the companies that are manufacturing or assembling, I think they...
22:01I think the manufacturing or assembling companies wanted this increase to allow them to recover
22:06their prices, but I would like to see the effect of this on the whole country.
22:10You know, electricity is important for economic development.
22:14I see how many people have been impacted by the increase in electricity prices, and
22:19now by this increase in the cost of computers.
22:22I see how many people have been impacted by the increase in electricity prices, and now
22:25by this increase in the cost of computers.
22:39When I heard it, I paid a lot.
22:52And now, the hardship is affecting everyone.
