00:00Hello and welcome to Mediain TV, it's a pleasure to have you here to talk about the news, here are the headlines.
00:27In Philadelphia, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are facing each other during their first television debate for the presidential election.
00:34We'll talk about the highlights of this debate in a moment.
00:40In the Middle East, the Palestinian Red Crescent made a statement this Wednesday of 5 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes in Toubas.
00:47The Israeli army continues its murderous strikes in the occupied Jordan.
00:52Return of Moroccan athletes participating in the Paris Olympics. More than 15 medals were won by the Moroccan delegation. We'll talk about that in a moment.

01:16Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are facing each other during their first television debate.
01:47The Palestinian Red Crescent made a statement this Wednesday of 5 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes in Toubas, an occupied Jordan.
01:53According to the spokesman of the Palestinian Red Crescent, these deaths are the result of Israeli bombing against a group of citizens.
02:00The Palestinian Red Crescent said that the strikes took place near the Mosque of Al-Tawahid.
02:05The Israeli army continues its murderous strikes in the regions of Toubas and Tammoun.
02:10On Monday night, the Israeli army hit the humanitarian zone of al-Mawassi in Khan Younes.
02:18Dozens of Palestinians were killed and dozens of injured.
02:22Explanations with Shaima Fekri.
02:27After 12 months, the Israeli massacre on the Palestinian territory has no end.
02:32Without warning beforehand, the Israeli army launched a strike on al-Mawassi on Monday evening.
02:38Al-Mawassi is a coastal area of 46 square kilometers in southern Gaza.
02:43The Israeli army had designated al-Mawassi as a humanitarian zone,
02:48where Palestinians are supposed to regroup,
02:51called to evacuate the targeted sectors by Israeli bombings.
03:00Al-Mawassi is an area that the occupation considers safe.
03:04Unfortunately, this is only propaganda.
03:06This area is not safe at all.
03:08It was exposed to a large massacre last night,
03:11during which dozens of our Palestinians were killed, including women and children.
03:23They told us several times that the area of al-Mawassi in Khan Younes was safe.
03:27But in this area they committed several horrible crimes.
03:31Now this massacre is committed against women, children and elderly people.
03:35If they say that this area is safe, why are they committing massacres against us?
03:39We left our homes for a safe area, so to speak,
03:42in order to return after the end of the operations.
03:45We currently live in a place that is not safe,
03:48and every day we live frightening moments with our children.
03:54After settling in al-Mawassi under the orders of the Israeli army,
03:58the Palestinian families saw the missiles fall on their heads.
04:03In response, the civil defense of the entire families disappeared under the sand,
04:08in deep craters,
04:10while the Israeli army indicated that it had carried out a precision strike against Hamas personnel.
04:15The movement in question reiterated that the allegations of Israel
04:20about the presence of Hamas in al-Mawassi are a shameful lie.
04:24This is not the first Israeli operation on al-Mawassi.
04:28In July, more than 90 Palestinians perished
04:32as a result of Israeli strikes.
04:35Salahuddin Abdul-Rali,
04:37dismissed from his role as a member of the PAM's board of directors,
04:40during a meeting held yesterday in Rabat, the party's political office,
04:43accuses Abdul-Rali of violating the party's basic statutes
04:46and of reaching its values without further clarification.
04:49On his side, Salahuddin Abdul-Rali contests this decision of the political office
04:54that he would not have the right, according to him, to dismiss him from his role
04:57as he was elected member of the PAM's board of directors by the National Council.
05:04Sunni journalist Sonia Dehmania has been sentenced to 8 months in prison.
05:10The lawyer is being tried for statements denounced as criticism
05:15against President Qeysaed.
05:17The accused's lawyers have denounced a judicial harassment,
05:20known for its talkative tone.
05:22Sonia Dehmania was arrested live on television
05:26on May 11th by masked police officers
05:28who had erupted at the Tunisian lawyers' office
05:31where she had taken refuge.
05:43Storms and gusts of wind are expected Wednesday and Thursday
05:46in several provinces of the country.
05:47Storms can reach up to 90 millimetres.
05:50Storms are expected in the province of Figuig,
05:53where the General Directorate of Meteorology
05:56is in a bulletin of red alert levels.
05:59The same phenomenon will affect the provinces of Jrada,
06:02Boulmene, Midel and Rachidia,
06:04as well as the provinces of Oujda and Gade and Thaourirte.
06:09Murderous floods with the consequence of human and material damage.
06:13Climate change is hitting Morocco hard.
06:16So how to assess our alert system?
06:19Maloui Daidi tells us more.
06:21The alert system adopted in Morocco
06:25is a system based on meteorology.
06:29We must admit that it is a crucial and reliable alert system.
06:35But its effectiveness will depend on a number of criteria
06:40that can be found in the literature,
06:44such as the degree of accuracy of these forecasts.
06:49A second point that is very important
06:52is access to information,
06:57especially in these vulnerable regions.
07:00What we live in Morocco,
07:03in these regions that are enclaved, a little isolated,
07:07maybe access to information is not as effective as expected.
07:13In situations like this,
07:15with electricity cuts and internet access cuts.
07:19Another point that, of course,
07:23influences the effectiveness of relying on meteorological alerts
07:29to prevent natural disasters
07:33is the quality of infrastructure at the local level.
07:38These natural disasters seem to be becoming more and more frequent
07:42and also reveal the shortcomings in terms of infrastructure.
07:45We talk a little more about this with Omar Loui Daidi,
07:48Coordinator of Water Management at the Moroccan Alliance for Climate and Sustainable Development.
07:54It is a balance that must be sought.
07:56And it is a parity that is always sought.
07:59And I think, unfortunately,
08:01in September 2023, we experienced the tragedy of the Houze earthquake.
08:07In September 2024, we are experiencing another tragedy.
08:11And so, there, we clearly see this inequality,
08:16this disparity between regions.
08:19And so, this is an opportune time to strengthen,
08:22to give more importance to these regions of the South-East,
08:30Morocco, the mountainous regions, the regions that are vulnerable.
08:34So, to be able to move forward with a balanced rate across the entire kingdom.
08:40And therefore, to ensure a certain spatial parity as desired for our country.
08:47In the Democratic Republic of Congo,
08:49the vaccines against Hempox arrive at the drop-off.
08:5150,000 doses given by the United States landed on Tuesday in Kinshasa.
08:55After the 200,000 doses from the European Union arrived last week in the capital.
09:00The US delivery also contained 15,000 vaccines,
09:03financed by the Gavi Vaccine Alliance.
09:06The RDC is the most affected country in Central Africa by the virus.
09:10Congo now has 265,000 vaccines,
09:13manufactured by the Danish-Bavarian-Nordic laboratory,
09:16which must begin its vaccination campaign next month.
09:23After several months of silence,
09:24former Prime Minister Amadou Baha resurfaced on the Senegalese political scene.
09:28During a meeting, the former presidential candidate
09:31announced the creation of his political party
09:34and his rupture with the Benoboc-Yakar coalition of former President Macky Sall.
09:39The account is of Regis Moukila and Cheikh Ndao.
09:43He had not made a public statement since March 25.
09:47It was on this date that Amadou Baha recognized his defeat against the Dio-Diomaisonko.
09:58More than six months later,
09:59the unfortunate candidate at the last Senegalese presidential election
10:02decided to go on the offensive.
10:04Amadou Baha decided to lay the foundations for the creation of his future political party.
10:10This new party, believe me,
10:13will not be one more.
10:16It will be based on listening,
10:19dialogue,
10:21action and responsibility.
10:25We want to create
10:27a framework
10:29where every Senegalese
10:31can express himself freely,
10:34contribute to the debate
10:36and actively participate
10:39in the construction of our common future.
10:42Member of the Benoboc-Yakar coalition,
10:45the opponent announced his rupture with the APR,
10:48the party of Macky Sall,
10:49a political formation weakened by internal divergences and massive departures.
10:55It is important to recognize
10:57that despite the efforts made by some,
11:01internal divergences in our camp
11:04have slowed down our common ambitions.
11:08We must learn from this experience
11:12to build something stronger,
11:15more sincere
11:17and more solid.
11:19My responsibility commits me
11:22before any decision
11:23to dialogue with all those who supported me.
11:28The creation of this new party
11:31brings a new configuration on the Senegalese political scene,
11:35which makes Damadouba the leader of the opposition.
11:38He is 63 years old,
11:40he is the same age as Macky Sall,
11:42so he still has a political future.
11:45Given the rank he currently occupies,
11:48it is said that he is the leader of the opposition.
11:53This is confirmed.
11:55Alliances are already being evoked for Damadouba,
11:58those for a large opposition coalition
12:01in view of the next legislative elections in Senegal.
12:07Moroccan Paralympic athletes landed yesterday evening at Rabat-Salé airport.
12:12A warm welcome was reserved for them.
12:14As a reminder, Morocco is here in 31st place
12:17in the overall ranking of medals,
12:19with 15 medals in total.
12:20Morocco is the third in Africa in terms of gold medals,
12:23behind Algeria and Tunisia,
12:25and the first in terms of absolute number of medals.
12:28This is the best record in the history of a Moroccan delegation
12:32to the Paralympic Games,
12:34thus breaking the record of Tokyo three years ago,
12:37when 11 medals were won by Moroccan athletes.
12:47In an exclusive interview,
12:48marathon runner Emin Chintzouf,
12:51just a bronze medal at the Paralympic Games in Paris,
12:54confided in his performance.
12:56I suggest you listen to him.
13:00This is the fifth medal in my career
13:03in four editions of the Paralympic Games,
13:05with the first won in London
13:07and the last here in Paris.
13:09Frankly, whether it's me
13:11or all of my colleagues from the delegation,
13:14we have been pushed by a very present Moroccan audience in France,
13:18and we are still here in the big events.
13:20We have achieved very good results,
13:22thanks to God, and despite the difficulties,
13:24especially me during my marathon,
13:26since I had a fracture at the 30th kilometre.
13:29The race was therefore complicated,
13:31but despite everything,
13:33I was able to make a difference during the race
13:35with the will and determination
13:37I was able to climb on the podium of this discipline.
13:39It is a historical achievement
13:41on a personal level as an athlete
13:43to have participated in four editions
13:45and won five Paralympic medals in total.
13:49And to talk about the first television debate
13:52between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump,
13:54we meet live from Casablanca
13:56Ali Lahlechi,
13:58Director of the Institute of Political,
14:00Legal and Social Sciences
14:02at the Université Mondiapolis.
14:04Hello.
14:06Hello.
14:08To begin with, what to remember
14:10of this debate widely followed in the United States
14:12but also around the world?
14:14First of all, this debate,
14:16as you said,
14:18was widely followed
14:20certainly by the Americans.
14:22It was a rather muscular debate,
14:24quite strong.
14:26We saw the two candidates
14:28who had a lot of piques
14:30between each other,
14:32that is, between the two candidates,
14:34that the presentation of their program
14:36during 90 minutes
14:38the two candidates
14:40were dealing with attacks
14:42from one to the other.
14:44And it must be said
14:46that this debate was highly anticipated
14:48before between Mr. Trump
14:50and Mr. Biden
14:52who was the Democratic candidate.
14:54Now we were waiting for
14:56Mrs. Kamala Harris
14:58and this debate,
15:00as the press says,
15:02was quite electric
15:04and quite muscular.
15:06So, according to the press
15:08and many observers,
15:10the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris
15:12has imposed herself against Donald Trump
15:14who would have even lost his means at times.
15:16So do you agree on this point?
15:18In a certain sense.
15:20Certainly we saw
15:22the candidate Kamala Harris
15:24who was smiling,
15:26who was serene
15:28and then sometimes
15:30who responded in a rather easy way.
15:32And on the other hand
15:34we saw Trump
15:36who was much more,
15:38that is, closed,
15:40he did not look at the camera
15:42and he did not look
15:44at his rival or his opponent.
15:46We saw two positions
15:48on the form.
15:50In fact, the much more
15:52serene position of Kamala Harris
15:54sometimes,
15:56while Donald Trump
15:58was much more,
16:00I would say,
16:02because there was much more attack
16:04from the candidate Kamala Harris
16:06than by Donald Trump.
16:08Don't we have an impression
16:10of déjà vu with the 2016 election
16:12when Hillary Clinton
16:14was announced as the winner
16:16of the debates
16:18in the United States?
16:20Sincerely,
16:22in the United States
16:24or in the elections,
16:26you have to take the debates
16:28with a grain of salt.
16:30Certainly the debates
16:32are very interesting,
16:34it is very important.
16:36But in the United States
16:38there are two models,
16:40if you want,
16:42two explanatory models
16:44of the vote.
16:46These are the American models,
16:48they identify with a party,
16:50by identifying with a party
16:52they think politically
16:54as they think socially.
16:56So the partisan identification
16:58becomes like a filter
17:00of everything that is emanating
17:02during election campaigns
17:04and it filters political information.
17:06That is,
17:08someone who identifies
17:10with the Democratic Party
17:12will vote for the Democrats
17:14and another who identifies
17:16with the Republican Party
17:18will vote for a large majority.
17:20It is 40% for one
17:22and 40% for the other.
17:24There is certainly a third model
17:26called the rational model
17:28or the model of the consumer electorate
17:30and this is where
17:32perhaps a debate
17:34or an election campaign
17:36can make a conversion
17:38to one party or another.
17:40But the two deterministic models
17:42are very clear
17:44that the election campaign
17:46does not change
17:48the voter turnout.
17:50Now the consumer electorates
17:52and this is why in the United States
17:54we talk about swing states,
17:56that is, there is this state
17:58where there can be more people
18:00who will vote for the Libertarians
18:02or for the Democrats
18:04or for the conservatives,
18:06the Republicans.
18:08And at this level
18:10there were the four
18:12variables or markers
18:14that were mentioned
18:16in this debate,
18:18how it is seen by the conservatives
18:20and how it is seen
18:22by the liberals
18:24or the Democrats.
18:26There is also immigration,
18:28how immigration was,
18:30that is,
18:32by the order of the Trump mandate
18:34or how immigration
18:36is seen by the Democrats.
18:38And at this point
18:40it must be said that Donald Trump
18:42reminded Kamala Harris
18:44of certain changes
18:46in positions
18:48and a third point
18:50which is the economy
18:52which is very important
18:54because of inflation.
18:56In the United States today
18:58we are talking about an inflation rate
19:00that does not exceed 3%,
19:02but life is too expensive
19:04in the United States.
19:06So this is a point
19:08on which Trump relies
19:10to say that the government,
19:12that is, the Biden administration,
19:14Kamala Harris,
19:16has not responded
19:18and of course there is
19:20a fourth point,
19:22it is a bit about foreign policy
19:24where the visions are not very different
19:26but the action,
19:28that is,
19:30by saying that Trump
19:32will solve the problems
19:34in relation to foreign policy.
19:36But the Americans are mainly interested
19:38in electoral issues,
19:40that is,
19:42local, national
19:44and especially economy
19:46and immigration
19:48as well as abortion.
19:50And it is on these three points
19:52in my opinion
19:54that the hesitant voters will play.
19:56But the 40%
19:58or the 45%
20:00of one party or another,
20:02as has been shown
20:04in all American elections,
20:06will vote.
20:08They will identify with one party
20:10and the electoral campaign
20:12and the debates
20:14do not make a conversion
20:16of these voters
20:18to the other party.
20:20Will this debate have an impact
20:22on the rest?
20:24You said it,
20:26debates reaffirm the political affiliation
20:28of each voter.
20:30In this case,
20:32will it have an impact
20:34on the undecided?
20:36Since Kamala Harris has shown
20:38to be quite aggressive
20:40and according to the media as well.
20:42Yes, according to American media
20:44and even the media,
20:46that is, European or Moroccan,
20:48in the first 36 days
20:50of the elections,
20:52will the undecided
20:54go more to Kamala Harris
20:56or to Donald Trump?
20:58Maybe
21:00there was a point
21:02gained by Kamala Harris
21:04in terms of
21:06the way she managed the debate,
21:08the form of the debate,
21:10her appeasement,
21:11her serenity.
21:13But on the bottom,
21:15what do the undecided care about?
21:16In the United States,
21:18it is the charity of life.
21:20Today, Trump says
21:22that under his government,
21:24his administration,
21:26the economy was more or less prosperous.
21:28Today, there is an economic crisis.
21:30On the point of immigration,
21:32there is not much difference.
21:34There was even a change
21:36sometimes
21:38of time on immigration
21:40by the Democrats.
21:42There is also
21:44the point of pregnancy.
21:46It is a point
21:48that divides America.
21:50There is a polarization in the United States.
21:52There are those who find
21:54that the voluntary interruption of pregnancy,
21:56especially after the arrest
21:58or the decision
22:00of the Supreme Court
22:02that had stopped
22:04an arrest,
22:06that is, on the voluntary interruption
22:08of pregnancy,
22:10and 22 states,
22:12as Trump confirmed,
22:14have banned abortion.
22:16So,
22:18the question,
22:20I would say,
22:22on this hesitant voter,
22:24are these three points
22:26that can vary.
22:28But we must not forget
22:30that there is a great division.
22:32There are conservatives,
22:34but also those who see
22:36the economy.
22:38The economy is very important.
22:40I was in the United States,
22:42I just arrived,
22:44and I saw that in the United States
22:46there is a great division
22:48between Americans
22:50on these three points,
22:52especially these three points.
22:54There is a form of hesitation.
22:56Perhaps this debate
22:58has strengthened more or less
23:00Kamala Harris,
23:02as it came out
23:04after the debate
23:06in all the press.
23:08But we will see
23:10whether in 56 days
23:12the percentage,
23:14as it happened in 2016
23:16with Hillary Clinton,
23:18will Trump win?
23:21Or rather,
23:23will Kamala Harris win?
23:25We must also say
23:27that the American elections
23:29are a universal but indirect suffrage.
23:31It is done by the great voters.
23:33You may have
23:35a large number of people
23:37who will vote for you,
23:39but it is not this number
23:41that will determine the great voter,
23:43especially since each state,
23:44that is, the winner
23:46wins all the votes.
23:48If in a state there are,
23:50for example, 16 seats,
23:52the one who wins 9
23:54will win the 16.
23:56And this is what sometimes
23:58the number of voters
24:00for one candidate or another
24:02does not sometimes determine
24:04the victory.
24:06There may be a higher number,
24:08but on the number
24:10of great candidates,
24:11it can make the difference.
24:13Now let's talk a little more
24:15about foreign policy.
24:17What are the files
24:19of the MENA region
24:21that the next president
24:23will have to look at?
24:25Let's say,
24:27priorities.
24:29The first subject
24:31is the war
24:33between,
24:35I would say,
24:37what is happening in Gaza.
24:39We see the declaration
24:41of Trump.
24:43He says,
24:45if I am there,
24:47I will stop the war quickly,
24:49I will find a quick solution.
24:51And he accuses Kamala Harris
24:53that her position
24:55is mixed
24:57in relation to this issue
24:59and that since October 7,
25:01the position is not
25:03clear enough
25:05of the Biden administration.
25:07Because every time
25:09Trump comes back
25:11he links
25:13the Kamala Harris project
25:15to the Biden administration
25:17since he was the vice president.
25:19Now,
25:21I think this is the most important
25:23subject.
25:25There will certainly be
25:27the subject of Iran,
25:29of nuclear,
25:31which may come back.
25:33But the most important
25:35is the Middle East.
25:37This is what is happening
25:39in Gaza.
25:41So the position
25:43is not very different
25:45from each other.
25:47But maybe Trump
25:49will find faster solutions,
25:51according to him,
25:53for this conflict.
25:55Since for him,
25:57the Biden administration
25:59has not found a solution
26:01for almost a year
26:03to what is happening
26:05in Gaza.
26:07Well, thank you
26:08for all these details.
