00:00We are still together on Mediantv. Thank you for remaining faithful to us. Here are the
00:20titles of your newspaper.
00:23On the 20th anniversary of the Equal Rights and Reconciliation Institution, the Kingdom
00:27welcomes an international symposium on transitional justice. On this occasion, the Sovereign addressed
00:33a message to the participants, a message read by the President of the National Council
00:39on Human Rights. We will talk about it in a moment.
00:44In Syria, the rebels continue their offensive and could at any moment seize Homs. Meanwhile,
00:51in Doha, Turkey, Russia and Iran, with divergent positions on the situation in the country,
00:58they will try to find a political solution in Syria.
01:05No precision has been provided on the reasons for his decision. In Burkina Faso, Captain
01:10Ibrahim Traoré, at the head of the country, denied his duties. The Prime Minister, who
01:16has been trained in his fall, the whole of his team.
01:23Morocco has been hosting several international symposiums on transitional justice since yesterday
01:29on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Equal Rights and Reconciliation Institution,
01:34an institution of capital importance that the Sovereign highlighted in a message addressed
01:40to the participants at this symposium. Back on the main lines of the royal message with
01:45Captain Ibrahim Traoré.
01:48This Friday, at the headquarters of the Moroccan Parliament, an international symposium was
01:52held on transitional justice, themed Transitional Justice Processes for Sustainable Reforms.
01:59For two days, the event will focus on themes related to the process of transitional justice,
02:05including the possible interactions between the latter and constitutional, legislative
02:10and judicial reforms.
02:12With the 2011 constitution, institutional reforms, the establishment of institutions
02:18that enjoy good governance and respect human rights, consultative bodies and legislative
02:24reforms, all these elements demonstrate that the Moroccan experience in the field of transitional
02:30justice is the consecration of a voluntarist decision and of a societal conviction of
02:38breaking with the past violations of human rights.
02:48The participants at this symposium will also highlight the role of public institutions
02:53and civil society organizations in this process and in the implementation of the recommendations
02:59issued by transitional justice bodies.
03:07This event is unique in its kind because it highlights the vision of His Majesty King
03:11Mohamed VI in terms of the consecration of a state of law, a democratic state, a state
03:17reconciled with itself.
03:25This business model of equity, truth and reconciliation deserves to be a model to be
03:34duplicated elsewhere, I say this with perfect knowledge of the cause, because as President
03:39of the African Commission on People's Rights, you know that we have a study on transitional
03:44justice that we propose to States, as well as the African Union.
03:49This symposium will also focus on the means by which to take part in the paths that constitute
03:54a reference for other current and future experiences, including the IER as a rich experience
04:01in terms of good practices and unique in terms of management, implementation and recommendations.
04:09We stay in Morocco where the House of Representatives adopted yesterday in the majority the project
04:14of the Law of Finance 2025 in the second reading.
04:17The text was approved by 178 deputies, 57 voted against.
04:22There was no abstention.
04:24During this session, several amendments were included in the PLF.
04:27In particular, the total exoneration of pensions to be counted on January 1.
04:38Second and last day of the MDS Sahara Forum organized by Morocco Diplomatique.
04:43The event is its fourth edition.
04:45Since yesterday, they have been meeting in Darla, experts and decision-makers, to discuss major issues
04:51related to the development of the Moroccan Sahara.
04:55The city of Darla welcomes its Friday and Saturday at the fourth edition of the MDS Sahara Forum.
05:01An important meeting paying homage to two events that mark the contemporary history of the kingdom.
05:06The 25th anniversary of the reign of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI
05:09and the 10th anniversary of the Development Programme of the Southern Provinces.
05:12Discussions will focus on the region's attractiveness, the key role of infrastructures
05:17and South-South cooperation, a cornerstone of Moroccan diplomacy.
05:23I would say that it was 25 years of militancy for the Moroccan Sahara.
05:29It was 25 years of firmness in defense.
05:32It was 25 years of explanations.
05:35It was 25 years that were crowned by the recognition of several powers,
05:40especially in the United States.
05:41In France, the Moroccan Sahara,
05:45there has been a large international support,
05:50even unprecedented, for the Moroccan initiative of autonomy
05:55by the four continents,
05:58and more particularly by Europe, with practically the majority of the states.
06:02We can see very well that with modern infrastructures,
06:06with social development,
06:09the human being at the heart of the whole strategy,
06:13Morocco today has another face.
06:16And the Southern Provinces, I can say that in 10 years,
06:19it is the showcase of the evolution of Morocco.
06:23It is the showcase of all this development that amazes.
06:28Today, we have a Morocco that plays in the court of the greats,
06:32under the visionary leadership of His Majesty the King,
06:37who imposes himself by his strategy,
06:40who imposes himself by his innovation,
06:44his stability, his security and many others.
06:50The debates will address investment opportunities,
06:53the impacts of energy and digital transitions,
06:56as well as the efforts to position the Southern Provinces
06:59as an engine of economic growth
07:01and a point of connection between Africa and the rest of the world.
07:07I think these are initiatives that go in the right direction,
07:10to show the excellent work that His Majesty is doing.
07:14I was a student here in Morocco,
07:17and a few years after my return to the country,
07:21I came back here.
07:23I saw a country on the move, a positive evolution.
07:26So I think it is important that this fact is amplified,
07:33because we should not wait for others to come and tell our stories,
07:37for others to come and say what is good for us.
07:40It is important that Africans take this communication into their own hands.
07:44Morocco has made too much progress,
07:48even saying excellences at the diplomatic level.
07:55And this, the speech this morning,
07:58proves that, at the economic level,
08:01the development of Accra,
08:05and not only that,
08:07as I said, I have been here for three years,
08:10I see, I observe,
08:12every day,
08:14construction sites,
08:16investment,
08:18development.
08:20I told my colleague,
08:22it is not by foot,
08:24even by car,
08:25Morocco is flying.
08:27And I can't imagine,
08:29in five, ten years,
08:31what it will become.
08:35The theme for this fourth edition,
08:38the King Mohammed VI, 25 years of royal vision,
08:41ten years of progress in the southern provinces,
08:43a wave of national and continental progress.
08:46This theme reflects the aspirations of Morocco
08:49to continue to play a key role on the African and international scene.
08:53This framework of discussion also means
08:55a platform where diplomats,
08:57political decision-makers, economists and intellectuals
09:00can exchange on essential themes
09:02for the development of the kingdom and the continent.
09:07Turkey, Russia and Iran,
09:09with divergent positions on the situation in Syria,
09:12are meeting today in Doha
09:14to try to find a political solution.
09:17Meanwhile, the rebels are advancing
09:19at lightning speed.
09:21They have seized several locations.
09:24They are now at the gates of Homs.
09:27The third major Syrian city
09:30could fall at any moment
09:32if they succeed.
09:34Only Damascus and the Mediterranean coast
09:36will still be controlled by the Syrian army.
09:40In less than a week,
09:41the raging offensive of the rebels
09:43has inflicted a serious blow
09:45on the government of President Bashar al-Assad,
09:48who is struggling to slow their rapid progression
09:50towards the city of Homs.
09:52If these armed groups seize Homs,
09:54only the capital Damascus and the Mediterranean coast
09:57will still be in the hands of the government.
09:59The army is using all its means
10:01to protect civilians,
10:02the first victims of this conflict.
10:06To our proud and resistant people,
10:08with the courage of our armed forces,
10:10today we are waging a fierce battle
10:12against the most powerful terrorist organizations
10:14that use the gang method.
10:16This forces our armed forces
10:18to adopt appropriate methods in combat,
10:20including lightning attacks.
10:24In the last hours,
10:25the rebels entered the cities of Rastan and Talbiseh,
10:28located in the province of Homs,
10:30in the total absence of the regime's forces.
10:32The armed groups are now
10:345 km from Homs,
10:35the third city in Syria.
10:37The calls for a ceasefire
10:38have all remained unanswered.
10:41We are seeing the bitter fruit.
10:58This must change.
11:10The inhabitants did not hide their fear
11:12of the advance of the rebels.
11:13Thousands of them fled to the west coast of the country
11:16after being caught by the rebels of Hama,
11:18who now command the road to Homs,
11:20about 40 km south of the capital Damascus.
11:28Assaï, on the other hand,
11:29abandoned by his own party
11:31and put under pressure by the street.
11:34In South Korea,
11:35President Yun Su-gil
11:37presented his apologies this morning
11:39for imposing martial law
11:41but did not resign a few hours
11:43after a parliamentary vote on his resignation.
11:51Burkina Faso is awakening
11:53its head of government.
11:54Captain Ibrahim Traoré,
11:55at the head of the country,
11:57denied his duties.
11:59The Prime Minister,
12:00who trained his entire team in his fall,
12:03did not provide any clarification
12:05on the reasons for his decision.
12:07The government is certainly dissolved,
12:09but according to the presidency,
12:11these former members
12:13will now have to hand over
12:15the current affairs
12:16until the formation
12:17of a new governmental team.
12:22Voting day in Ghana.
12:23These are the general elections.
12:25The Ghanaians are called
12:26to put their ballot in the ballot box
12:28to elect their deputies
12:30but also their presidents.
12:32A presidential election
12:33followed closely
12:34with a question
12:35on almost everyone's lips.
12:37Who, from Mahamudu Baoumia
12:39or John Mahamma,
12:40will succeed Nana Koufou Addo?
12:43The voters will choose
12:45between a former banker
12:46and a former president
12:47from the opposition.
12:49A very close scrutiny
12:51and the results are expected
12:52by Tuesday for the presidential election.
12:57Wednesday took place.
12:59Montevideo was concluded
13:01with a free trade agreement
13:04to which several European countries
13:06are opposed.
13:07It is now up to the Member States
13:09to ratify the treaty.
13:11I wish you good luck.
13:17The European Council and the European Union
13:19announce a free trade agreement.
13:21The aim is to reduce
13:23customs rights
13:24on both sides of the Atlantic,
13:25while allowing
13:26more investment
13:28to strengthen
13:29the entire value chain
13:30for industry,
13:31employment
13:32and innovation.
13:33According to the President
13:34of the European Commission,
13:35the agreement will allow
13:36European Union companies
13:38to save
13:394 billion euros
13:41in export rights per year.
13:48Let me address
13:49my fellow Europeans.
13:51This agreement
13:52is a victory for Europe.
13:5460,000 companies
13:55export today
13:56to the Mercosur,
13:58including 30,000 small
13:59and medium-sized companies.
14:01They will benefit
14:02from reduced customs rights,
14:03simpler procedures
14:05and preferential annexation.
14:07This will create
14:08huge commercial opportunities.
14:10And for our farmers,
14:11we have heard
14:12your concerns
14:14and we are acting
14:15accordingly.
14:16This agreement
14:17takes strong guarantees
14:18to protect
14:19your means of subsistence.
14:27The treaty project
14:28has been discussed
14:29since 1999
14:30with the aim
14:31of abolishing
14:32the majority
14:33of customs rights
14:34between the European Union
14:35and the Mercosur
14:36in order to create
14:37a large market
14:38of more than
14:39700 million consumers.
14:40For its part,
14:41Uruguayan President
14:42Luis Lacalpo
14:43has acknowledged
14:44that the agreement
14:45would not be
14:46a magical solution.
14:47Let's be clear
14:48that the steps
14:49would be progressive
14:50but certain.
14:51An agreement
14:52of this type
14:53is not a solution.
14:55An agreement
14:56of this type
14:57is not a solution.
14:58There is no magical solution.
14:59It is an opportunity
15:00and it is up to each of us
15:01to decide
15:02how fast
15:03we will go
15:04with this agreement.
15:05It is very important
15:06that the steps
15:07are small
15:08but certain.
15:09Small
15:10but certain
15:11and in the same direction.
15:16On the reaction side,
15:17the German Chancellor
15:18Olaf Scholz
15:19assures that
15:20an important obstacle
15:21has been raised
15:22even without a bell
15:23in Spain
15:24where Prime Minister
15:25Pedro Sanchez
15:26rejoiced in a historic agreement.
15:27On the French side,
15:28the Elysée
15:29in an exchange
15:30with journalists
15:31pointed out
15:32that the treaty
15:33remains unacceptable
15:34in the State.
15:35If,
15:36by virtue of the European treaties,
15:37the Commission
15:38is the only negotiator
15:39of trade agreements
15:40in the name of the 27,
15:41the agreement
15:42signed on Friday
15:43must still obtain
15:44its ratification
15:45by gaining the approval
15:46of at least 15 Member States
15:47representing 65%
15:48of the population
15:49of the European Union
15:50then by bringing together
15:51a majority
15:52in the European Parliament.
15:53To prevent
15:54the adoption of the text,
15:55France needs
15:56to rally
15:57three other countries
15:58representing more than
15:5935%
16:00of the population
16:01of the European Union.
16:02A threshold
16:03easily crossed
16:04if the support
16:05of Rome and Warsaw
16:06is confirmed
16:07at the time of the vote.
16:10For France,
16:11this agreement
16:12states that
16:13the European Commission
16:14whose President
16:15Ursula von der Leyen
16:16will not be in Paris
16:17where a fortnight
16:18of heads of state
16:19and governments
16:20are expected
16:21on the occasion
16:22of the reopening
16:23of Notre Dame
16:24devastated by a fire
16:25in 2019.
16:26This masterpiece
16:27by L'Argotique
16:28opens its doors
16:29today
16:30to a planetary event
16:31under high security
16:32in Algeria.
16:37Five years
16:38after the fire
16:39that ravaged it,
16:40Notre Dame
16:41will officially be reborn.
16:42An event
16:43that will be celebrated
16:44in the presence
16:45of different heads of state
16:46and ecclesiastical personalities.
16:47Starting with Donald Trump
16:48who confirmed
16:49his presence
16:50at the ceremony.
16:51It will be
16:52his first trip
16:53since his victory
16:54against Kamala Harris.
16:55Jill Biden,
16:56the campaign
16:57of the outgoing
16:58President Joe Biden
16:59will also be there.
17:00An exceptional
17:01security device
17:02inspired by
17:03the Olympic Games
17:04ceremony
17:05is set up
17:06for this long-awaited
17:07reopening.
17:08Dozens of thousands
17:09of agents
17:10will be mobilized.
17:12I think it's
17:13very good news
17:14because it's been a while
17:15since it was on fire
17:16and we can't
17:17go inside anymore.
17:18So we're still
17:19very happy
17:20to be able
17:21to find it.
17:22In addition,
17:23apparently
17:24there have also
17:25been new discoveries
17:26and we can see it
17:27a little bit
17:28under a new skin,
17:29a new skin.
17:30So it's still
17:31a pleasure.
17:32We are looking forward
17:33to being able
17:34to visit it
17:35hoping that it
17:36won't be too complicated.
17:37And that's it.
17:38I am convinced
17:39that security
17:40will be very tight.
17:41This clearly
17:42demonstrates
17:43the importance
17:44of this event
17:45which will gather
17:46the scum
17:47of the political
17:48and religious class.
17:51Sergio Mattarella,
17:52President of
17:53the Italian Republic,
17:54will also attend
17:55the inauguration.

18:06the President of Greece
18:07Katerina Sakellaropoulou
18:08as well as a parterre
