00:00We are still together on Mediain TV. Thank you for remaining faithful to us. Here are
00:21the titles of your newspaper.
00:23This is one of the United States who reaffirms their support for the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative,
00:29a position reiterated by the US Secretary of State for the Affairs of the Middle East,
00:35Barbara Alif, a visit to the kingdom was received yesterday in Rabat by the head of Moroccan
00:40Diplomacy, Nasser Bourit.
00:44The situation is still worrying in Gaza. On site, hospitals could stop or reduce their
00:50activity in the 48 hours due to fuel shortages due to Israel's ban on the entry of this
00:56kind of energy.
01:01The world, in development, has rejected a first offer of financial commitment from
01:07the rich states. Negotiations between nearly 200 countries continue in prolongation this
01:13Saturday in Baku at COP29.
01:20We start this newspaper with the United States who reaffirmed yesterday their support for
01:26the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative as a serious, credible and realistic solution to resolve
01:32the artificial difference around the Sahara, a position reiterated by the US Secretary of
01:38State for the Affairs of the Middle East, Barbara Alif, a visit to the kingdom was received
01:44yesterday in Rabat by the head of Moroccan Diplomacy, Nasser Bourit.
01:48Barbara Alif, the United States will continue to support the UN initiatives aimed at advancing
01:54the negotiations in view of a political solution to the question of the Moroccan Sahara.
02:00Together we will listen to her.
02:09The United States continues to support the personal envoy of the UN Secretary General
02:14for the Sahara, Staffan de Mistura, in his efforts to advance the negotiations in view
02:20of a mutually acceptable political solution. The United States reaffirms its support for
02:26the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative as a serious, credible and realistic solution to the Sahara.
02:34Still in Rabat, the US Secretary of State for the Affairs of the Middle East, Barbara Alif,
02:40also saluted the key role of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI in strengthening stability,
02:46security and development in this region, but also in Africa.
02:50Together we will listen to her.
02:54Morocco is one of our oldest and closest allies. Our friendship dates back to the founding
03:00of the United States of America. Today we discussed, Mr. Foreign Minister and myself,
03:06ways to deepen bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Morocco and the United States of America.
03:12Our discussions focused on our coordination and cooperation on regional priorities.
03:20The United States appreciates the constant and precious support of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI
03:25and the key role in strengthening stability, security and development in the region and in Africa.
03:33The United States appreciates the crucial role of Morocco in promoting a more peaceful and
03:38secure Middle East, as well as its leadership in responding to the humanitarian needs in Gaza.
03:44It is important to emphasize the constant commitment of the Kingdom in favor of peaceful coexistence
03:51and tolerance.
03:54At present, the Panamanian government has decided to suspend diplomatic relations with
03:59the Pseudo-Raste, a country in Central America.
04:02Through this decision, it has reaffirmed its conviction of the objectives and values that guide
04:07multilateralism, but also reiterated its support for the efforts made by the United Nations
04:13for a just, sustainable and acceptable peaceful solution for the parties concerned.
04:22Morocco welcomed this week the withdrawal of the Council of the Human Rights of the UN.
04:27For Ambassador Omar Zellibar, this testifies to the commitment of the Kingdom in multilateral
04:34diplomacy.
04:36Let's listen to the President of the Council.
04:38The goal is to make the Council an organ adapted to the realities of the world as they are
04:46today, an organ that can respond to its task of promoting respect and guarantee of human
04:52rights.
04:53But what I would like to emphasize more is an extremely illustrative presence.
04:59The respect that Morocco shows in the framework of the United Nations system, in particular
05:06when it comes to the Council of the Human Rights.
05:09Virtually all members of the Council are present here, representatives of special procedures,
05:14representatives of NGOs.
05:17This also illustrates, if you will, the appreciation that Morocco has for its policy in the field
05:24of human rights as it has been wanted and directed by His Majesty the King, may God assist him.
05:30The reforms that we have produced in Morocco have yielded results.
05:35They are of a certain exemplarity, but also the contribution of Morocco to all international
05:42processes on human rights, on human issues in a more generative way.
05:48The security cooperation between Morocco and Spain continues to bear fruit.
05:54The Central Office for Judicial Investigation and the General Commissariat for Spanish Police
05:59Intelligence proceeded yesterday to dismantle a terrorist cell affiliated to the local branch
06:05of Daesh in the Sahel, a cell made up of nine members.
06:09Three were activated in Tetouan, Fenidert, and the other six in Madrid, Ibiza and Cepta.
06:15The searches carried out at the home of the accused allowed the seizure of white weapons
06:21and computer equipment, which will be subjected to the necessary digital expertise.
06:28Meanwhile, concern grew around the fate of the French-Algerian writer Boalem Sansal.
06:35The latter, from France, was arrested last week at the Algiers airport.
06:40The arrest was confirmed by the Algerian press agency.
06:43Since then, no other official information has been leaked about his fate.
06:47The Gaïmard editions demand the immediate release of the writer known for his criticism
06:53against the Algerian authorities.
06:58For more than two decades, Morocco has engaged in a digital transformation of its educational
07:03system.
07:04As part of their cooperation, the Higher Council for Education, Training and Scientific Research
07:10and UNESCO have organized a collaboration workshop on the digitalization of the education
07:17sector in the Kingdom, following the account of Souad Jalil.
07:23From caterpillar to butterfly for a successful digital transformation, the theme of this
07:28collaboration workshop, jointly organized by the Higher Council for Education, Training
07:34and Scientific Research and UNESCO, aims to strengthen the digital transformation of the
07:40education sector in Morocco.
07:42In the five countries of the region that are covered by our office, we have seen the concern
07:47of all ministers, which is to succeed in the digital transformation.
07:52The digital transformation is to give tablets or computers to children, to train teachers,
07:59to finance all changes and to establish, in general, a functioning framework for everything
08:06related to the digital.
08:08It is a very complicated matter that we wanted to dissect, in a way, by looking at several
08:14dimensions and making a number of suggestions.
08:17All the countries of the region, and of course Morocco, have already done a lot towards the
08:21digital transformation.
08:23Our report is there to highlight certain good practices.
08:28This initiative is part of the continuity of efforts undertaken by the Kingdom to modernize
08:34its educational system, in particular by exploiting the opportunities offered by new technologies.
08:40The day will also make it possible to take into account all the efforts made by our country
08:49during these 25 years.
08:51Initially, the emphasis was naturally placed on infrastructure, connectivity, the acquisition
08:56of equipment and access to the Internet to allow our students and teachers to access all
09:03resources, both at the national and international level.
09:08An initiative to bring together all the partners who can contribute to the digital transformation
09:14of educational systems through various pillars, including connectivity, infrastructure,
09:21capacities, curricula, content, coordination and cost.
09:28At least several Israeli strikes have hit Beirut on Friday night and on Saturday,
09:35including a series that completely destroyed a residential building in the heart of the
09:40Lebanese capital.
09:41In this context, the World Health Organization has sounded the alarm.
09:45According to the WHO, nearly 230 health workers have been killed in Lebanon since the beginning
09:51of the war in Gaza, most of them since the escalation between Israel and Hezbollah in
09:56September.
09:58The situation is just as disturbing in Gaza.
10:04On the ground, hospitals could stop or reduce their activities in the next 48 hours due
10:09to fuel shortages due to the obstruction of the entry of this energy source by Israel
10:15in this besieged territory, which is hit by a serious humanitarian crisis and where the
10:21Israeli army continues its offensive.
10:24In this context, the Foreign Ministers of the G7, who will meet on Monday and Tuesday
10:31near Rome, will discuss the re-issued mandates by the International Criminal Court against
10:37the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Minister of Defense Yoav Galant,
10:43a decision that still makes and always reacts.
10:46The Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has unconditionally supported the Israeli leader
10:51to announce yesterday that he would like to invite Benjamin Netanyahu to his country in
10:56challenge.
10:57On their side, France and the United Kingdom say they will take action on the arrest warrants
11:02of the CPI and remain faithful to their long-standing commitment in support of international justice.
11:09Ukraine is asking its Western allies for anti-aircraft defense systems of the latest generation
11:17to protect itself after the strike of a hypersonic ballistic missile that Vladimir Putin ordered
11:24to be produced in Syria yesterday.
11:26The Russian President promised new shots against, I quote, the enemies of Moscow.
11:32Russia, I remind you, struck on Thursday the city of Dnipro in Ukraine with this new
11:37intermediate-range Oreshnik missile, a heavy strategic-purpose machine, but without its
11:45nuclear charge, including a shot, a first in this war, added to the cold in Europe.
11:54The Mohamed VI Foundation of African Ulema celebrates the 60th anniversary of the building
12:00of the Grand Mosque of Dakar.
12:02The building was inaugurated on March 27, 1964 by His Majesty the King Hassan II and the
12:10former President of Senegal, Leopold Sedar Senghor.
12:14We return to this ceremony with Abdul Rahim Barri Moussa Ndiaye.
12:21This day marks the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the building of the Grand Mosque
12:26of Dakar.
12:27Instead of worship and gatherings, this emblematic building of Moroccan art, inaugurated in 1964,
12:34is the theater of cultural and historical religious events.
12:37The Grand Mosque of Dakar is erected over 10,000 square meters.
12:46Its construction was initiated under the impulse of King Hassan II.
12:51For Senegalese authorities, this building occupies a place of choice in the spiritual
12:56life of the populations of the capital.
12:59At the moment we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the inauguration of the Grand Mosque of
13:05Dakar.
13:06Because our thoughts and our fervent prayers go to His Majesty, to His Majesty Hassan II.
13:18And unique in its genre at the time, it opens its doors to the faithful in the presence
13:25of His Majesty Hassan II, submissive with devotion to the Friday prayer conducted by
13:34His Excellency Abdelaziz Dabab Khalif General of Tijan.
13:38This ceremony saw the participation of several religious, customary and diplomatic personalities.
13:44This is the case of the ambassador of Morocco to Senegal.
13:48Today we celebrate the building of the Grand Mosque of Dakar.
13:53It is an event of great importance and especially of great symbolism.
14:02In short, it is the perpetuation of a fraternal, spiritual, historical, human relationship between
14:13the Cherifian Kingdom and the Republic of Senegal, between the Moroccan people and the
14:19Senegalese people.
14:20This ceremony was also an opportunity for the Mometsis Foundation of African Ulemas
14:25to spread the objective of their organization in Senegal.
14:29His Majesty the King has thus traced to the Foundation a broad horizon.
14:37As a highly responsible African religious institution, an institution that initiates
14:47any possible religious reform, it is that the Foundation encourages any intellectual,
14:57scientific and religious development, a spiritual development that protects the religious
15:04dignity of the African man.
15:06An exhibition was organized at the esplanade of the Grand Mosque of Dakar to trace the
15:12common history of Senegalese Morocco.
15:14This Grand Mosque of Dakar is not only a place of prayer, but a symbol of unity for the
15:20Muslim community in Senegal and Morocco, of which the tenor of the links remains always.
15:26The return to the Kingdom in hot weather with gusts of wind and dust storms is expected
15:32from Saturday.
15:33It will continue until Monday.
15:35Temperatures between 28 and 33 degrees Celsius are thus expected in the provinces of
15:40Sidi Ben Nour, Kenitra, Gulmim, Tintin, Agadir and Naoutanane.
15:46Strong gusts of wind with dust storms of 75 to 85 km per hour are expected this Sunday
15:52in the provinces of Gulmim, Agadir, Naoutanane, Jtouka, Eid Baha, Inzegane, Eid Meloul,
15:59Sidi Fnit, Arodan, Tiznit, El Haouz, Shishawa and Savira.
16:05More than 300 NGOs call on developing countries and China to leave the UN climate conference
16:12in Baku if the rich countries do not increase their financial commitments.
16:17The COP29 is in prolongation this Saturday after 12 days of unsuccessful negotiations.
16:22The rich countries, mainly the European Union and the United States, have proposed to increase
16:28their financing commitments to 250 billion by 2035, a figure considered unacceptable by
16:36developing countries in view of the catastrophes they are suffering and their enormous investment
16:41needs in low-carbon energy.
16:48Extreme weather devastates Europe. In Portugal and on the island of Madeira,
16:53fires have multiplied. Poland and Spain have and are facing floods.
17:00Extreme weather episodes continue to devastate Europe with floods,
17:05forest fires and heatwaves.
17:07Between mistrust, hope and climate emergency, the negotiations of the COP29 on the financing
17:13of the fight against climate change enter their last straight line in Baku.
17:17As a result, developing countries demand 300 billion dollars, half of which is public money,
17:23but the rich countries propose only 250 billion dollars each year by 2035.
17:34We think this is at least a text that we can work with.
17:38We have at least a roadmap to follow.
17:40The next step is to analyze the text very closely.
17:44We discuss with our allies, with the most vulnerable countries, with others,
17:49and of course with the European Union, their problems, their concerns, and we work hard.
18:01On the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the gradual exit of fossil fuels,
18:06the text reaffirms the agreement concluded last year and underlines the urgency to strengthen ambition.
18:20I think these discussions are exhausting.
18:24Some could even say that this is a strategy aimed at exhausting people to accept ad minima results.
18:30We cannot let exhaustion dictate the results of a global climate solution here.
18:35The Presidency has the responsibility to try to bring the parties together and to find a path to follow.
18:41Exhaustion dictates the outcomes of a global climate solution.
18:46The European Union is at the heart of the United Nations Climate Change Conference
18:51as the world's leading contributor to climate finance
18:55and thanks to the lines of communication it maintains with both China and vulnerable countries,
19:00including small island states.
19:02Negotiators from several countries do not agree on the new collective objective
19:07related to climate finance.
19:09An affair to follow.
19:12This is the end of the news.
19:14We will be back in a few moments with more news.
