00:00We are still together on Median TV. Thank you for remaining faithful to us. Here are
00:16the headlines of your daily news.
00:18Despite the arrest of the International Court of Justice, Israel is ordered to immediately
00:23carry out its operations on Afa. This has led to intense clashes in this city in southern
00:29Gaza.
00:30Yesterday, in Tunisia, the ministers of the interior and social affairs were replaced
00:39on the spot. We will talk about this in a moment.
00:41In Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré will remain in charge of the country for five more
00:47years. This is what comes out of the charter adopted yesterday by the participants in the
00:52national session held in Ouagadougou.
00:54Before developing these headlines, let's first go back to this exclusive interview that Liam
01:03Fox gave to Median TV. For the British deputy, the United Kingdom must offer its full support
01:10to Morocco and recognize its sovereignty over its Sahara. Together, we listen to him.
01:15Many of us feel that the United Kingdom must follow the steps of the United States, which
01:23formally recognized the full and entire sovereignty of Morocco over its Sahara. Several countries
01:30have recognized this sovereignty, and it is the only solution that guarantees prosperity
01:35and security for this region.
01:37Before our elections, we must express this opinion clearly and without bias to our Minister
01:45of Foreign Affairs.
01:47When I was in Darla, I heard a lot of people say that they settled in this region to have
01:57better health coverage, better education and a better future for their children, a more
02:03prosperous future. The feeling I had there was that these people were right and that
02:11the region offers, thanks to Moroccan sovereignty, better horizons than the status quo.
02:16We need now to move forward and ensure that these benefits are made available.
02:21We must now move forward to ensure that people benefit from this. Under Moroccan sovereignty,
02:26the region definitely offers a better life chance.
02:32Yes, Morocco is a key ally for the United Kingdom. Many of my compatriots see Morocco
02:40as the western end of Africa. It is also a gateway for all of Africa.
02:45There are security implications in that, but there are also enormous economic implications.
02:49Morocco is a significant ally in terms of security or economic exchanges. Many British companies
02:55work with their Moroccan counterparts in joint ventures, which offer enormous economic opportunities
03:00for the two kingdoms in a virtuous synergy for our relations.
03:05Morocco also has a very attractive energy supply for the United Kingdom, with modern and sustainable
03:13solutions. We can only appreciate that.
03:19We celebrated yesterday the World Day of Africa and Addis Ababa, more precisely in the seat
03:26of the African Union. Morocco has, as part of this day, created a gallery that explores
03:32the culture and civilisation of the kingdom. It is an opportunity for visitors and diplomats
03:37to explore the richness of Moroccan culture, but also the African vision of His Majesty
03:45the King Mohammed VI, materialised by the launch of several projects in favour of the continent.
03:54An international day of Africa is also marked by a white stone in Mali, where the club of
03:59ambassadors accredited in the country organised a cultural evening during which the diplomats
04:05reiterated their commitment to an African-American society.
