00:00We are still together on Mediantv. Thank you for staying loyal to us. Here are the titles
00:20of your newspaper. In this edition, we will return to Morocco on the strong times of the
00:25government council that took place today. Anger of the lawyers in Tunisia. A few weeks
00:32before the presidential election, they met to denounce the sentence of 8 months in prison
00:39on the call of their concierge Sonia Dahmani, arrested for critical remarks at the meeting
00:46of President Kayseri. Opening this Thursday in Morocco the works of the General Assembly
00:53of the FIFPRO Africa. During two days, the trade union of professional players in its
00:59African division will address various subjects, including the increasingly busy international
01:04calendar. We start this edition in Morocco where the government council met today.
01:13The novelties of the school return were at the heart of an exhibition by the Minister
01:18of Education. On site, it has been examined and adopted a bill completing the law
01:24bearing the code of the drug. The council has also examined and adopted five decree
01:30projects. One of these projects is on the application of the provisions of the law
01:35relating to the self-production of electric energy. As regards the smart counter,
01:41it has also noted the adoption of the decree on the creation of the export zone of Tanger
01:47Automotive City. The government council has also adopted a project of decree relating
01:55to the certificate of origin of electricity from sources of renewable energy. What role
02:01does the UN play in the elaboration of laws and regulations of the electric sector? We
02:07have asked the question to Mohamed Bouremtane, Director of the Pole of Development at the
02:12National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water. Indeed, the National Office of Electricity
02:19and Drinking Water plays a central role in the support of the various actors, including
02:28the Ministry of Health, in the elaboration of laws and regulations registering the electric
02:36energy sector, while also taking advantage of its technical and operational expertise.
02:42The UN is effectively committed to guaranteeing favorable conditions for the implementation
02:50of the national energy strategy that promotes the integration of the UNRWAs under the directives
02:58of His Majesty the King of Assisi. Morocco is thus committed to achieving a rate of
03:05integration of renewables exceeding 52% by 2030. We are committed to the contribution
03:13of the various actors, including the public and private sectors. By 2027, it will have
03:20additional capacities of more than 9.6 GW, including more than 7 GW in capacity of renewables.
03:29It is in this context that the UN has been asked by the Ministry for the elaboration
03:35of the decrees in question, to which I referred earlier, in particular the decree in relation
03:44to the intellectual property of the self-protection law.
03:49We remain in Morocco with more than 431,000 widows with 158,000 children living in urban
03:56and rural areas, who have benefited from direct social assistance, figures advanced today
04:02by the government spokesman. For Mustafa Baytas, the implementation of this royal program
04:08has allowed these widows to benefit from a fixed aid of a minimum of 500 dirhams.
04:13Mustafa Baytas added that this aid will increase gradually each year to reach 1,233 dirhams
04:20according to the number of children by 2025 and in the perspective of reaching 1,308 dirhams in 2026.
04:29We remain in the kingdom where the fight against terrorism continues. We have learned
04:34the arrest today of an element imbued with extremist ideology, 19 years old. He was
04:41arrested by the elements of the National Police Brigade in coordination with the DGST,
04:47the original cause of Ksar Amalou in the province of Middelt, intended to carry out terrorist
04:54attacks in the kingdom.
04:57We remain in the kingdom where, one year after the siege of El House, the authorities accelerate
05:02the pace on the path of reconstruction. Examples here in the Asni commune where important
05:08works have been carried out.
05:13In Asni, with unwavering determination, the post-seismic reconstruction progresses.
05:19The Asni commune, located in the province of El House, shows significant progress in the
05:24reconstruction efforts. After the earthquake of September 8, the houses, completely or
05:29partially destroyed, stand up again thanks to the perseverance and determination of the
05:34inhabitants and local authorities. This extensive site benefits from rigorous monitoring, thus
05:40ensuring all conditions of success.
05:45We have benefited from state support. Thanks to him, I rebuild my house, as you can see.
05:50I thank the architects and local authorities who accompany us little by little.
05:57The notable progress in the region is the result of a hard and continuous work carried out by
06:02local authorities in close collaboration with various departments and partners. The local population
06:08directly affected by the earthquake is actively participating in the reconstruction, aspiring to a
06:14decent housing.
06:18I avoid remembering the memories of the earthquake. I pray day and night to help us resume the
06:24normal course of life. I eagerly wait for everything to return to normal and for my house to be
06:29completed.
06:32The local authorities of Asni are mobilized to overcome the obstacles encountered. They ensure
06:37meticulous monitoring of the sites and regular visits to ensure compliance with the construction
06:42with urbanism and the local landscape. Their commitment is constant, guided by the high
06:47instructions of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. Their goal is to guarantee a life worthy of
06:52living and to meet their needs.
06:56Morocco has just registered its first confirmed case of Mpox, announced by the Ministry of Health
07:04and Social Protection. This case recorded in Marrakech was detected thanks to the protocol
07:10established by the Kingdom. According to the same source, the patient receives medical care in
07:17one of the specialized medical centers in the city of Ocre and is in a stable state of health, which
07:23does not justify concern. The Ministry therefore reassures citizens and calls them to respect the
07:29recommended preventive measures, namely to wash their hands regularly, avoid direct contact with
07:35infected or suspected people, and respect personal hygiene.
07:42The United Nations and the European Union have condemned today the death of a UN collaborator
07:48in an Israeli strike against a school sheltering displaced people in the Gaza Strip, which killed
07:54a total of 18 people. This is in a context where negotiations have resumed. Yesterday, a delegation
08:01from Hamas met with Qatari and Egyptian mediators in Doha to discuss a strike in Gaza.
08:11Will he dissolve the National Assembly? In Senegal, President Bassir Oued Jemaa Efei must address
08:17the nation tonight to clear the political horizon. More than five months after his inauguration,
08:24the head of state can decide, from 8 p.m. local time, it will be in an hour, to dissolve the
08:32hostile parliament in power and call for anticipated legislative elections, which could give him
08:38the majority necessary to put in place his policy according to the deadline set by the Constitution.
08:48For Pope Ousmane Chiaw, political analyst at the Université Cheikh Antojope in Dakar, there is no
08:53political crisis in Senegal. Only a democratic debate on a possible dissolution of the parliament
09:00is underway. Together we listen to him.
09:02I think it's too hard to talk about tensions and political crises because there are none
09:06currently in Senegal. We don't see any. It's just that the president of the street is applying
09:12his constitutional prerogatives precisely through this dissolution. Now, after the dissolution,
09:17there will be new legislative elections. And after these legislative elections, maybe the new
09:23government will have the necessary majority that will allow it precisely to initiate the major
09:29reforms that have been announced in its program. What I can say is that there is a debate,
09:34as in all democracies. The opposition makes its arguments in relation to the possibility
09:41and the opportunity of this dissolution. The opposition also has its say in relation to
09:47the different files on the case of Niamh Malaki that have been initiated for a few days.
09:53Now, let's wait and see if these different acts of the president of the Republic could
10:01lead to instability. And when we talk about instability, I'm talking about political demonstrations
10:07that can lead to violence. That's what I call a crisis, actually. But the fact that there is a
10:12democratic debate on the opportunity or on the legality of certain actions that are taken,
10:17I can't analyze that in terms of a crisis. That's what we can call the vitality of a democracy
10:22because in some countries we don't find these aspects, actually.
10:27The day before yesterday, the Senegalese president was in Moures, a city in mourning
10:32after the shipwreck of a migrant pirogue. After dozens and dozens of deaths,
10:36Bassir Oudia Maifaie promised a traction of passers-by without respite.
10:40He also promised to give work to the young people he invited to stay to rebuild the country.
10:48South Africa is witnessing the first cracks in its government of national unity
10:53at the origin of this discord. A law on education was voted in May by the Parliament
10:59and that President Cyril Ramaphosa is about to sign this Friday.
11:04The Democratic Alliance of Central Law and its leader, the current Minister of Agriculture,
11:09expressed yesterday their opposition to this text, in particular because of the changes
11:14it brings to the autonomy of public schools that will have less latitude
11:20to choose their linguistic policies.
11:25The UN Security Council extended yesterday a 12-month embargo on weapons
11:31aimed at the Sudanese region of Darfur.
11:35Human Rights Watch denounces a missed opportunity by the Council
11:41to extend the embargo to the whole country.
11:49In Sudan, in a context of war between the army and the paramilitaries,
11:53the UN Security Council extended a one-year embargo on weapons
11:57aimed at the Sudanese region of Darfur.
12:00In a resolution adopted unanimously, the Council states that until December 12, 2025,
12:06the sanction regime has been in place since 2005, which also concerns the so-called targeted sanctions
12:12aimed at individuals and the embargo on weapons.
12:16The renewal of the sanctions measures will restrict the movement of weapons towards Darfur
12:24and to sanction people and entities that contribute to destabilizing activities in Sudan
12:31or that make it an accomplice.
12:35All these measures are essential to end the escalation of the conflict.
12:41The United Nations and the humanitarians fear that the war will degenerate into new ethnic violence,
12:48especially in Darfur, which has already been ravaged more than 20 years ago by the policy of the Burnt Earth
12:53and led by the Janjaweed.
12:55While Sudan still claims the lifting of sanctions in Louisiana,
12:58China and Russia, which abstained during the last renewal in March 2023, voted in favor this time.
13:05China has repeatedly stressed that sanctions are a means and not an objective
13:13and cannot replace diplomatic efforts.
13:18Since April 2023, the war has been opposed by the army, led by General Abdul Fattah al-Burhan,
13:24and by the paramilitary forces of rapid support of his ex-adjutant, General Mohamed Hamdan Daglu.
13:30According to their reading, the conflict has caused tens of thousands of deaths
13:34and caused the displacement of more than 10 million people.
13:40In Tunisia, the lawyers are very angry.
13:44A few weeks before the presidential election,
13:46they met to denounce the sentence of eight months in prison for their advisor, Sonia Darmani.
13:53This lawyer and columnist was arrested for critical remarks at the meeting of President Kayseri.
14:02After being sentenced, the Tunisian National Union of Lawyers
14:07calls for eight months in prison in solidarity with the lawyer and columnist Sonia Darmani
14:13and announces the escalation and decides a series of protest movements
14:19to demand the independence of justice.
14:22At a press conference, the lawyers denounced a judicial harassment,
14:27underlining that the judgment against the lawyer and columnist Sonia Darmani
14:32was made in the absence of trial.
14:35On the day of her hearing, on August 20, she underwent a very deep and too intimate search,
14:41respecting the procedure, how it should be and the regulations.
14:48For the audience, we think that the defense has not been respected.
14:53Sonia could not defend herself and the lawyers could not plead,
14:58as the law requires, as the conventions of human rights and as the constitution,
15:05since everyone has the right to access justice.
15:09The lawyers also decided to organize sit-ins,
15:13to protest in front of the Palace of Justice in Tunisia
15:17and in the courts of first instance,
15:20with a follow-up of the other regional sections,
15:23on September 18, 2024,
15:26and also decided to boycott the requisitions and judicial aid for a week from September 16.
15:36Today, a few weeks before the elections, the current judicial situation is deteriorating.
15:41The situation has become even more frightening
15:44and it is not possible to organize fair and democratic elections in such a situation.
15:50Before the elections, the President should have graced all the prisoners of opinion
15:56imprisoned by virtue of Decree No. 54.
16:01For his part, the President of the Tunisian Journalists' Union
16:06announced the launch of an international campaign of solidarity with the prisoners of opinion,
16:12including journalists and politicians,
16:15a step that reflects the growing pressure exerted by civil society
16:20a few weeks before the presidential elections.
16:26Moussa Fakim Ahmad, President of the African Union Commission,
16:29will be in Abidjan, in favor of the Abidjan Frontier Forum.
16:33What is the objective of this meeting scheduled for next October?
16:37Answer in this interview with Max Wobi and Ferdinand Kroko.
16:42At the 36th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union,
16:46held in 2023 in Disabéba,
16:48the African Union had announced the co-organization
16:51with the National Commission for the Frontiers of the Ivory Coast
16:54of the 2024 edition of the Abidjan Border Forum,
16:57the meeting, which will make Abidjan the capital of the African borders,
17:01from October 23 to October 25,
17:03constitutes a real exchange platform on the problem of exchanges
17:07in a continuous and integrated momentum.
17:10The idea is to develop links around borders,
17:13social links, economic and political links.
17:16Abidjan Border Forum aims to develop the active life of borders,
17:22to make them places of production of the State
17:25and instruments of struggle against multiform fragilities,
17:29transnational, social, economic, political, security and environmental.
17:34Abidjan Border Forum constitutes a real exchange platform
17:39that offers itself to national and international aspects,
17:44to aspects of civil society, to practitioners and to universities.
17:49The meeting of Abidjan offers enormous social and economic potential
17:54in the four of the sub-regional and African integration.
17:58The choice of the Ivory Coast to hold a periodic meeting
18:04called Abidjan Border Forum
18:08coincides with a decision made by the African Union Commission
18:14to institutionalize an international meeting
18:20on the African interstate borders.
18:25The theme of this edition is
18:27Green borders between shared natural resources and security challenges.
18:32The inaugural conference will be led by the President of the African Union Commission.
18:39The Chinese President accepts the invitation of his Russian counterpart, Xi Jinping,
18:43to take part in the next summit of the BRICS planned in Russia,
18:47at the heart of the meeting between Vladimir Putin and the head of Chinese diplomacy.
18:55The Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend in October the summit of the BRICS in Kazan, Russia.
19:01The announcement was made by his Minister of Foreign Affairs.
19:04During a meeting in St. Petersburg with the Russian President Vladimir Putin,
19:09the meeting takes place after a meeting of the BRICS member states on security.
19:19One of the main missions of this summit is to raise together the security challenges
19:26and preserve the security of our political system.
19:31We must use the BRICS mechanism
19:35to strengthen coordination on internal security issues
19:40and on regional and international issues.
19:45According to the head of Chinese diplomacy,
19:47the two heads of state will have new strategic discussions.
19:51The summit of the BRICS should also welcome our close partner of Moscow
19:55and regional rival of Beijing,
19:57the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
20:00who had already gone to Russia in July.
20:05We cannot ignore the growing interest of the BRICS in many countries.
20:12Today, more than 30 countries, more precisely 34,
20:16have expressed their wish to join our Union.
20:21China is a neutral country in the conflict in Ukraine
20:25and ensures not to deliver any weapons to any party,
20:28but the Americans and Europeans regularly accuse it of offering to Russia
20:32and its allies, which are targeted by important Western sanctions,
20:35a crucial economic support for its war effort.
20:41Back in the Kingdom, where the work of the General Assembly of the FIFRO Africa continues in Rabat,
20:47in the presence of the top management of Moroccan football,
20:51the union of professional players in its African division
20:54has been addressing varied topics since this morning,
20:57including the increasingly busy international calendar.
21:02With the presence of the General Assembly of the FIFRO Africa,
21:05Rabat becomes the capital of African football.
21:08This gathering of the union of professional African players
21:11takes place in a context of growing tension,
21:14leagues and players expressing their discontent
21:17with the multiplication of international players
21:20which overloads an already well-filled calendar.
21:24This international conclave intervenes on the basis of multiple national football exploits.
21:29At the moment, we are harvesting the fruits of the model
21:32developed by His Majesty King Mohammed VI
21:34and arranged with brilliance by the Federation,
21:36with the participation of all its components.
21:40The importance of the work carried out by Morocco and all its bodies
21:44is the ability to work together and in concert
21:49to ensure the protection of footballers.
21:52Why is this important?
21:54We have already said it, the Moroccan results from a sporting point of view are extremely good.
21:59But what is important to understand is that when you ensure the protection of footballers
22:03and that you try to put them in the best human conditions
22:07and also from a social point of view,
22:11to ensure their development as humans
22:14and then of course to ensure their development as footballers,
22:17you make men stronger and you will allow them,
22:21or at least guarantee them success or at least more chances of success.
22:24I also take this opportunity to congratulate and encourage
22:30all the authorities of Moroccan football,
22:37starting with the first sportsman who is the King of Morocco,
22:42who never ceases to put his love through the national team
22:49to achieve these brilliant results that we have all seen
22:54at the World Cup recently, a few years ago.
23:00President Legdia, who is also doing a huge job at the Moroccan Royal Federation,
23:06has made available infrastructures.
23:14Point d'orgue de ce conclave, les responsables de la FIFPro ont abordé des sujets
23:18comme la gestion de carrière, les bonnes pratiques et le dialogue,
23:21des sujets indispensables pour permettre aux footballeurs africains
23:25d'exprimer leurs talents dans les meilleures conditions,
23:28tant au niveau local qu'international.
23:31La Coupe du Monde de Futsal démarre ce samedi en Ouzbékistan.
23:36Le Maroc logé dans le groupe E fera son entrée en lice ce lundi.
23:41Face au Tajikistan, les Lyons de l'Atlas ont effectué leur dernière séance d'entraînement
23:46avant de prendre l'avion, l'occasion pour le sélectionneur national
23:50et chambre de gig de peaufiner les derniers réglages
23:53avant la première journée de ce mondial de futsal.
23:57Je vous propose d'écouter les réactions de quelques joueurs.
24:01Il s'agit de ma première participation aux Coupes du Monde.
24:04J'espère que je serai à la hauteur de l'événement.
24:07Après la superbe ambiance que nous avons vécue lors de la Coupe d'Afrique des Nations à domicile,
24:10le peuple marocain nous attend au tournant dans ce mondial.
24:13Il ne nous reste plus beaucoup de temps avant le début de la compétition.
24:17Avec quelques ajustements restants, on est en train de les finaliser.
24:20Nous sommes dans le groupe E, avec le Tajikistan, le Panama et le Portugal.
24:24Ce ne seront pas des matchs faciles, nous aurons des rencontres compliquées.
24:27Le premier match reste le plus important avant de prendre les prochains rendez-vous les uns après les autres.
24:32La préparation se passe bien. Grâce à Dieu, nous sommes sur un bon rythme.
24:36Tout le groupe est conscient de la responsabilité qu'ils ont.
24:39Si Dieu le veut, ce sera ma deuxième participation aux Coupes du Monde.
24:43J'espère montrer de meilleures prestations que lors du dernier mondial en Lituanie, il y a trois ans.
24:48Tous mes coéquipiers sont contents, prêts à atteindre l'objectif attendu,
24:52c'est-à-dire réaliser un meilleur parcours que l'édition précédente.
24:56Voilà qui referme ce journal. Merci de l'avoir suivi.
24:58L'info se poursuit sur Mediantv et Mediantv Afrique.
