00:53 In Morocco, the work of advanced regionalization is a success at almost all levels, a step-by-step assessment carried out yesterday by the pilot committee in charge of its implementation.
01:08 The Kingdom of Morocco is vigorously condemning Israeli incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque. declaration of the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Selburrita.
01:28 The efforts to cease fire, protect civilians and move humanitarian aid to Gaza underline the Selburrita. The head of Moroccan diplomacy said at a press conference after his interview with his Brazilian counterpart.
01:43 He stressed that the Kingdom is firmly condemning the authorization by the Israeli authorities of the march of the Al-Quds flags.
01:51 Morocco categorically rejects the incursion of Israeli government officials and members of the Knesset on the esplanade of the mosque, added Nasser Borita.
02:05 His Majesty King Mohammed VI, President of the Al-Quds Committee, vigorously denounced this kind of provocation in this context.
02:16 He said that the Kingdom of Morocco, including the UN Security Council and the Assad forces, has called on the international community to protect the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the places of worship of Muslims in the city of Al-Quds.
02:31 And coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the visit of His Majesty King Mohammed VI to Brazil in 2004, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federative Republic of Brazil, Morovira, is on an official visit in the Kingdom.
02:56 Nasser Borita met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil on Friday in Rabat, which is therefore on a visit to the Kingdom.
03:13 In the context of this official visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federative Republic of Brazil, Morovira, Brazil has praised the dynamic of openness and modernization that Morocco is experiencing under the enlightened leadership of King Mohammed VI.
03:27 In a unique and joint meeting, the country has expressed its appreciation of the role of vanguard that the sovereign exerts in Africa, making the Kingdom of Morocco a credible and listened partner on the international scene.
03:39 The two ministers had the opportunity to discuss the recent and various initiatives announced by His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
03:46 This same joint statement contains the position of Brazil on the Sahara.
03:51 The Federative Republic of Brazil congratulates itself on the serious and credible efforts of the Kingdom to move forward towards a different regulation around the Moroccan Sahara, and this within the framework of the autonomy initiative presented by the Kingdom in 2007.
04:06 As a reminder, Brazil, which presided over the Security Council of the United Nations in October 2023, when adopting Resolution 2603, reiterated its support for UN efforts in order to achieve a politically and mutually acceptable solution to the Moroccan Sahara issue, in accordance with the UN's relevant resolutions.
04:27 During this interview between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of African Cooperation and Moroccans living abroad, Nasser Boullita, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federative Republic of Brazil, Mauro Vieira, the two parties highlighted the remarkable quality of the partnership between Morocco and Brazil.
04:44 The relations between the two countries date back to the 19th century. In 1860, Morocco was among the first countries to recognize the independence of Brazil.
04:57 Diplomatic relations began between the two countries in 1906. This history reflects the special relationship between Morocco and Brazil and represents the strength that allows this relationship to persist.
05:09 The two ministers highlighted the importance of optimizing the great potential of the partnership between the two countries, particularly in the fields of agri-food, green economy and logistics.
05:25 His Majesty King Mohammed VI and His Excellency President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva share the same vision on environmental protection, the rights of migrants and the importance of considering the African continent in an optimistic way.
05:43 The two counterparts also agreed on the implementation of joint cooperation programs between the Moroccan Agency for International Cooperation and the Brazilian Agency for Cooperation, in favor of the African continent.
05:56 The two ministers also congratulated each other on the new agreements and memorandums of agreement finalized or at an advanced stage of finalization. The goal is to give a new momentum to bilateral partnerships and allow the institutional actors and economic operators of the two countries to implement innovative initiatives, actions and projects in several areas of common interest.
06:21 And this is what will strengthen this partnership between Rabat and Sao Paulo. Royal Air Morocco announces the relaunch of its direct airline Casablanca-Sao Paulo from 7 December next year due to three weekly frequencies.
06:36 Flights will be scheduled for departure from Casablanca on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. Return flights will leave Sao Paulo on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. Direct flights will be operated by Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a new generation aircraft offering the highest level of comfort and safety while favoring a carbon footprint.
07:03 We continue this edition in Morocco, where the regionalization project is a success at almost all levels. A report was drawn up yesterday by the pilot committee in charge of the implementation of this royal project.
07:16 It was yesterday, during a meeting in Rabat, that the participation of several members of the government was recorded. It is an opportunity to draw up a roadmap for the next steps of this project, which the second national sessions are scheduled for next December.
07:32 The security cooperation between Morocco and Spain continues to bear fruit. As proof, the Spanish police announced yesterday the arrest of a presumed member of the terrorist organization Daesh in Tel Ada.
07:49 It was during a joint operation conducted with the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance.
08:00 Digital is at the service of our security. In Morocco, the DGSN is increasingly being used for digital. Recently, Iblah was launched. This platform is dedicated to the fight against cybercrime.
08:13 It is accessible everywhere in the kingdom, behind the screens of our computers or smartphones, to allow Internet users to immediately and safely report any criminal or violent digital content.
08:28 The General Delegation to the Penitentiary Administration and Re-Insertion announces that the detainees will be allowed to receive a basket of food from the second day of the Eid al-Adha.
08:46 The operation will last one week, according to the schedule established by the penitentiary institutions. This measure is involved in the decision on the exclusion of religious holidays, the ban on baskets of food.
09:01 The objective is to consolidate family ties of the detainees and to allow them to share with their loved ones the joy of celebrating this holiday in the rightful way of authentic Moroccan traditions.
09:14 The war in Gaza has now entered its ninth month. The Israeli army has been piloting the Palestinian enclave for 245 days.
09:27 Days have passed and it seems that more than 36,700 Gazanis have been killed. The diplomatic efforts to stop the fire are still in the dark.
09:42 The Israeli army continues to activate its war machine. It recently carried out a murderous attack on Nusayret against a school run by a king in a context where all the witnesses regarding the humanitarian situation were red.
09:57 In the midst of the war in Gaza, the daily exchanges between the Israeli army and the Hezbollah have intensified.
10:04 This has led the UN Secretary General to call for the cessation of hostilities along the line of demarcation established by the United Nations between Israel and Lebanon.
10:17 The UN Secretary General is concerned about a wider risk of conflict and the devastating consequences for the region.
10:26 The Irish and Czechs will vote this Friday to elect their European MPs after the Dutch who confirmed the push of the far right in the Netherlands without placing it in the lead.
10:41 The final results will be announced on Sunday evening, but they confirmed the resistance of the social-democratic left and the ecologists in the Netherlands, which is enough to comfort the hopes of their allies in the other countries of the European Union.
10:56 In Sudan, pro-democracy activists have reported about 40 civilians killed in the violent shooting of paramilitary in the districts of Omdurman near the capital Khartoum.
11:15 This is the only illustration of the impact of the conflict on a population affected by the humanitarian crisis.
11:25 Tunisian political sky continues to darken. The president of the Free Historians Party, in detention since October 3, will be prosecuted in two new judicial cases,
11:42 adding to three other ongoing trials. Abir Moussi was arrested while she was trying to file a lawsuit against presidential decrees relating to the last local elections and the new cutting of the districts,
11:56 which aroused controversy on the Tunisian political scene.
12:03 This is good news for the traders in Ivory Coast. The cost of goods transport could drop in the coming weeks, thanks to a protocol agreement signed between the port of Abidjan and the National Federation of Trade Unions.
12:20 Let's listen to the details of the agreement.
12:27 The port of Abidjan, the backbone of the Ivory Coast economy, is characterized by the high cost of goods transport, from ship unloading to storage to delivery.
12:37 This generates excessive costs for traders. The current partnership agreement between Abidjan Terminal, the ship's maintenance on the port of Abidjan,
12:46 and the National Federation of Trade Unions of Ivory Coast could change the situation.
12:51 It will accelerate the dynamization of economic activities of traders, as well as the competitiveness of the first container terminal of the port of Abidjan,
13:00 for the benefit of economic operators and the population. The cost of goods transport could therefore be reduced in the coming weeks.
13:08 Today, we have the opportunity to have the right information, because we are the main player, which allows them to be able to, with a simplified procedure,
13:19 take out and remove their goods in time and in less cost.
13:24 We have considered it useful to sign a partnership with Abidjan Terminal, in order to understand certain areas where there are false costs,
13:36 for which traders sometimes leave their containers on the dock.
13:44 It is a pride to know that we are here to defend the interests of our operators.
13:49 Minimizing the costs, the false costs, so that the final consumer can consume less expensive.
13:56 This is the battle of the Finaxia as well.
13:58 The agreement protocol between the two entities envisages, among other things, minimizing the shipment of goods for sale to the auctions,
14:05 effectively fighting overcosts, points that will have a significant impact in the fight against the expensive life in Ivory Coast.
14:12 We stay in Ivory Coast. What is the origin of the rise in electricity bills in the country?
14:19 How to deal with it? How do the authorities plan to carry out the country's energy policy?
14:24 Minister Dutelle is on site to try to answer these questions.
14:28 Hypolytica, Herman Degrau.
14:30 Energy, hydrocarbons and mining resources are essential to the production of goods and services.
14:37 It is therefore important to help important considerations for the good work of these different sectors.
14:41 This is why the Government Information and Communication Center has invited the Minister of Mining, Oil and Energy to his stand called "Government Meetings".
14:51 The objective is to make the people understand the meaning of the achievements of companies in this major area of the Ivory Coast economy.
14:58 If coal as a fossil energy was the engine of the industrial revolution about two centuries ago,
15:11 electricity quickly took over and the needs for electricity are therefore increasingly the reason for technological developments.
15:23 According to a report from the World Bank published in 2020, in Ivory Coast, energy is distributed 100% by private operators.
15:31 The network should cover 99% of the population by 2035 and 42% of the energy produced will be renewable.
15:39 However, consumers estimate that electricity prices are high.
15:44 Minister Mamadou Sangafoua Koulibaly therefore took the stand to provide some clarification on the issue.
15:50 If you take Ghana, Ghana has made two adjustments, 51%.
15:58 What has been done in Ivory Coast? Two adjustments, 19% in total.
16:04 And when we say 19%, in the first adjustment of 10%, 89% of the subscribers were spared, only 11% were affected.
16:15 So the second adjustment that concerns everyone, in total, 19% did not weigh on all subscribers.
16:26 The exchanges at this important meeting revolved around the theme of "Politics, oil and energy, challenges, challenges and perspectives".
16:35 Mali also wants to turn the page of the energy crisis it is going through to achieve this.
16:43 Three solar power plants are under construction in the country, while waiting for their delivery.
16:48 The President of the Transition, Colonel Assimi Goïta, has given electrogen groups to the Ministry of Energy, Mohamed Dagnoukou.
16:55 This symbolic donation of keys by the President of the Transition to the Minister of Energy
17:01 concerns a first batch of 10 groups of electrogen with a capacity of 16.8 MW.
17:07 It is about reaching a capacity of 27.25 MW.
17:13 Today, we are submitting to EDEMSA a first batch of 15 groups for 16.8 MW,
17:22 which will be completed by a second batch to make a total of 25 groups of 27.25 MW.
17:34 This gesture of the President of the Republic comes a few days after the launch of the work of three solar power plants
17:41 with a total capacity of 400 MW.
17:45 It is about reaching autonomy by means of mixed energy.
17:50 We need a mix.
17:52 The mix of energy is important because solar energy is a renewable energy
18:01 that is relatively inexpensive, but also has its constraints,
18:05 because it works during the day, but not at night.
18:09 So it is the electrogen groups that can work at any time.
18:14 The solar energy can take a part, and the electrogen groups will come if there are problems at night
18:20 to be able to fill this deficit.
18:22 The beneficiaries of this group, the Department of Energy, intend to continue the offers,
18:27 especially in terms of renewable energy in other parts of the country.
18:33 Beyond the decisive actions underway to stabilize the supply of electricity to the Malian population,
18:41 my department, under your direction, will be forced in the coming months
18:46 to other structures of the deployment of renewable energy at a large scale.
18:51 The beneficiaries have varying capacities between 600 kW and 1,200 kW.
18:59 Sport now with the Lions of Atlas, who are facing the Zambian Chipolopoulos right now.
19:07 Moroccan player Hakim Ziyech has already opened the score with a penalty,
19:13 so he has scored 1-0 so far.
19:15 Match counting for the third day of the World Cup qualifiers in 2026.
19:20 I remind you that it is Agadir who has this beautiful poster.
19:23 And for the selector Wali Dehregregi, the goal remains, of course,
19:28 the victory to keep the head of Group E.
19:31 And for now, it looks pretty good for the Lions.
19:35 This is the end of this newscast. Thank you for watching.
