00:00Thank you for joining us for this edition of L'Envoi Selectif Trave.
00:22Rabat and Brasilia testify of their renewed desire to deepen bilateral ties.
00:27The head of Moroccan diplomacy, Nasser Bourita, has just received the president of the Brazilian Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco.
00:34Details in a few moments.
00:39The agricultural season could begin earlier this year,
00:42because of the floods recorded in the different regions of the kingdom in the last two days.
00:47We are also talking about it.
00:50Benyamin Netanyahu claims that Israel will continue to strike the Hezbollah, including Beirut, without mercy.
00:58The Israeli Prime Minister said so during a visit to an Israeli military base,
01:03which was hit by a drone the day before.
01:08Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
01:10Princess Laila Hasna, president of the Foundation for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage of Rabat,
01:16presided over the Foundation's board of directors.
01:19In her speech, Laila Hasna highlighted the Foundation's key achievements
01:23for the preservation of cultural heritage of Rabat for the period 2022-2023.
01:29It was a question of the Foundation's continued work with its national partners
01:33in the sectors of culture and national education,
01:36in primary and secondary schools, to educate and raise awareness
01:40about the richness of cultural heritage and the need to preserve it.
01:47In Rabat, the head of Moroccan diplomacy, Nasser Bourita,
01:50met today the president of the Brazilian Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco.
01:54This visit of the president of the Brazilian Senate shows the renewed will of Rabat and Brasilia
02:01to deepen bilateral ties.
02:03Rodrigo Pacheco was accompanied by Senators David Alcolumbre,
02:08future president of this institution as early as February 2025,
02:13and the president of the Foreign Relations Commission, Enan Calheiros.
02:17Let's listen to Nisar Messari's analysis, a professor at the University of Hawaii,
02:23on Moroccan-Brazilian relations.
02:27These are very good relations, traditionally very strong.
02:32If at the beginning of Morocco's independence,
02:35the two countries had courteous relations,
02:38these relations have strengthened over the years.
02:42And we have seen, during the last 20 years,
02:46a very sensitive strengthening of these relations,
02:49so much so that Brazil has become the third,
02:53and sometimes even the second country that Morocco cares about the most.
03:02So these are very strong and very important relations for Morocco.
03:07Brazil is one of the top ten trade partners in the Kingdom of Morocco.
03:12The ECP is a major partner of Brazil,
03:15which also positions itself as a potential partner of Morocco
03:18in the defense industries of the Kingdom.
03:21How to further explore all this economic and possibly political potential
03:26in the context of a South Atlantic alliance?
03:29Answer with Nisar Messari, professor at the University of Hawaii.
03:34Well, this South Atlantic alliance that you are referring to
03:39is part of the vision of the two heads of state.
03:43The King of Morocco visited Brazil about 20 years ago,
03:48and since then the relations have continued to strengthen.
03:53And it was within this vision of the importance of South-South relations.
04:01Brazilian President Lula, who was already president at the time,
04:06has always defended this South-South vision.
04:10So these are two heads of state who understand
04:13and who give a lot of importance to these South-South relations,
04:17and it is because of this that the relations have strengthened.
04:22So there are many axes, both in terms of energy,
04:27hydrogen, for example, is one of the axes
04:30that could allow the two countries to strengthen their relations.
04:36You mentioned the OECD,
04:38so the OECD could play a fundamental role in this cooperation.
04:45You mentioned the arms industry,
04:48but there are also the automotive industries in both countries,
04:53and several automotive factories in Morocco and Brazil are the same.
04:59So it is the strengthening of this axis
05:02that could allow the two countries to strengthen their economic relations.
05:06And then let's also talk about cultural issues.
05:10The two countries have always had very important relations.
05:17You know, all Brazilians know Morocco,
05:20they know the city of Marrakech,
05:22because there is a very famous song by the Brazilian singer Caetano Veloso
05:28called Paralá do Marrakech.
05:31So there was a Globo TV soap opera that took place in Morocco,
05:37and so Morocco has always had this interesting, magical image of Brazil,
05:49and the two countries are exploring Brazil as well,
05:53which has a very important image in Morocco.
05:56Wherever we go, we always see young Moroccans
06:00with yellow T-shirts, colors of the Brazilian national team,
06:06even though Brazil has not won major titles for a very long time.
06:10But Brazilian football represents this attraction for the Moroccans,
06:17who are fans of football.
06:19So there are several axes that can be developed
06:22on the relations between Morocco and Brazil,
06:24and not just economic or political.
06:28The High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
06:33Vice President of the European Commission Josep Borrell,
06:36has reaffirmed the immense value that the EU
06:38grants to strategic partnerships with Morocco.
06:41The 27 countries wish to deepen the partnership
06:44between Morocco and the EU,
06:46which is a long-term, very dense and in-depth partnership.
06:51The High Representative of the EU,
06:53who represented at a press conference
06:56the conclusions of the Council of Foreign Affairs of the EU held in Luxembourg,
07:01in close collaboration with Morocco,
07:04wishes to strengthen these relations
07:06and preserve this partnership in all areas.
07:09Do you agree?
07:12In Morocco, the agricultural season could begin earlier this year,
07:17and for good reason,
07:19it has been recorded in the different regions of the Kingdom
07:22over the last two days.
07:24Western farmers hope for abundant harvests.
07:27Maradjama El Dresbayoud tells us about it in this story from Cheyma Fikri.
07:33Recent rainfall in most regions of the Kingdom
07:38encourages farmers to start the agricultural season earlier this year.
07:42They have already started by returning and fertilizing the land
07:45in preparation for cereal crops, cattle and pastures.
07:54We have started the work.
07:56We are fertilizing the land thanks to fertilizers.
07:59We pray that the rain continues to fall
08:01so that this agricultural season is optimal.
08:05Western farmers hope for good rainfall in the coming months
08:09to complete their crop of cereals, potatoes and peas.
08:18At the beginning of this new agricultural season,
08:21we have started the phase of fertilization.
08:23We started by planting barley
08:25and we hope that this agricultural season will be successful.
08:30We hope that it will be a good season.
08:33The rainfall recorded in the West and North of the country
08:36over the last two days
08:38announce the second start of the agricultural season in Morocco.
08:42Just like the last five years,
08:44rainfall begins first in these regions,
08:47which are the most contributing in terms of the quantity of cereals
08:50at the national level.
08:53The last rainfall recorded in the Kingdom
08:55can be beneficial for dams and the agricultural sector.
08:59After six consecutive years of drought,
09:02as the agricultural campaign announces this year,
09:04Rachid Ben Ali, President of the Moroccan Confederation
09:07of Agriculture and Rural Development,
09:09gives us some clues.
09:12We cannot predict.
09:14We are not even at the beginning,
09:16we are really on the eve of the beginning.
09:18We cannot predict, we do not know how it will be.
09:20What we hope is to have water, to have rain,
09:23especially rain,
09:25to succeed in our crops, especially in autumn,
09:28because it is the most important.
09:30And to have a pasture also for our farmers,
09:32it is as important as the cereals.
09:36On the other hand, we are confident
09:39for irrigation water for certain areas.
09:42For example, we have milk,
09:44we can say that the Meluia, the Ziz, the Rarb,
09:48these are production basins,
09:50so we will have enough water to start a good campaign.
09:55An important thing, and we salute the decision
09:59of His Majesty the King,
10:01who gave these instructions to have this water transfer.
10:05And every time there was a water transfer,
10:07for the Great Casablanca,
10:09it allowed us to avoid this water
10:11that leaves the region of Tadza to the city of Kazan.
10:14And of course, it is water that will remain
10:16in the region of Tadza.
10:18In large part reserved for irrigation.
10:21So we are confident on this side.
10:24This Monday in the Middle East,
10:26in a video broadcast by his office,
10:29Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel
10:31would continue to strike without mercy
10:33the Hezbollah, including in Beirut.
10:35I want to be clear,
10:37we will continue to strike without mercy
10:39the Hezbollah in all parts of Lebanon,
10:41including in Beirut.
10:43The Israeli Prime Minister said
10:45during a visit to the military base
10:47by a drone of the Lebanese movement
10:49and who killed four Israeli soldiers.
10:56At least 21 people were killed
10:58in an Israeli strike
11:00on a village in northern Lebanon,
11:02indicated the local Red Cross.
11:04While the Ministries of Health
11:06report that the rescue efforts
11:08are continuing.
11:10This is El Jalil for more details.
11:13Lebanon is targeted by an Israeli strike.
11:15The south is in the middle of fighting
11:17with the Hezbollah.
11:19The Lebanese Red Cross has reported
11:21several deaths in an Israeli strike
11:23on the village of Aïto,
11:25in northern Lebanon.
11:27This is the first time that this village,
11:29with a Christian majority,
11:31is targeted by recent Israeli bombings,
11:33usually directed against the regions
11:35where the Hezbollah is most implanted,
11:37in the south and east of Lebanon,
11:39as well as in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
11:41The Hezbollah threatened Israel
11:43with other attacks in case of pursuit
11:45of its offensive in Lebanon
11:47after a drone strike targeting
11:49a military position south of Haifa,
11:51which killed four Israeli soldiers
11:53and injured more than 60 people.
11:55This is the most deadly strike in Israel
11:57since the Lebanese Shiite army
11:59and Israel entered into open war
12:01on September 23.
12:05We investigate how a drone
12:07infiltrated our airspace
12:09and exploded in our base.
12:11The threat of drones
12:13is something we have been facing
12:15since the beginning of the war.
12:17We are committed to offering
12:19better protection
12:21to better protect our soldiers
12:23and our citizens.
12:25We are not in any case
12:27in a war against FINUL.
12:29We try to prevent
12:31all incidents.
12:33We also ask FINUL
12:35to leave this area
12:37as soon as possible.
12:39A few days ago,
12:41we found a huge amount of weapons
12:43from Iran and Russia,
12:45brand new weapons,
12:47nothing like the arsenal we know.
12:51Since the intensification
12:53of Israeli air strikes on Lebanon,
12:55a massive exodus began,
12:57leading to the displacement
12:59of hundreds of thousands of people
13:01to Syria, according to figures
13:03provided by the Lebanese General Security
13:05Office.
13:07In the hope of finding
13:09a semblance of security,
13:11more than 400,000 people
13:13fled the conflict in Lebanon
13:15to take refuge in Syria,
13:17where the civil war
13:19has been going on since 2011.
13:21Everywhere there is fear and terror.
13:23The bombings target
13:25residential areas of civilians.
13:27There is no political target.
13:29Children can no longer sleep
13:31in the middle of the bombings.
13:33On the other hand,
13:35Washington announced on Sunday
13:37the deployment of a high-altitude
13:39anti-missile defense system in Israel
13:41in support of their ally.
13:43Iran says it is totally ready
13:45to face a war,
13:47judging that the inaction
13:49of the UN Security Council
13:51in Gaza and Lebanon
13:53was a disaster.
13:55The head of the UN agency
13:57for refugees emphasized
13:59the urgency of ceasing fire
14:01in the face of global consequences.
14:03A ceasefire supported by
14:05a significant peace process
14:07is the only way to break
14:09the cycle of violence,
14:11hatred and misery,
14:13said Filippo Grandi
14:15at the annual meeting
14:17of the Executive Committee
14:19of the High Commissariat
14:21for Refugees in Geneva.
14:23According to the UN,
14:25more than one million people
14:27have been thrown on the roads
14:30to turn inwards.
14:33The attacks against the United Nations
14:35Interim Force deployed
14:37in the south of Lebanon
14:39are completely unacceptable,
14:41said the head of the European Diplomacy
14:43at a meeting of the UN
14:45foreign affairs ministers.
14:47According to Joseph Borrell,
14:4927 member states have agreed
14:51to ask Israelis to stop
14:53these attacks against the UN.
14:55The latter has asked
14:57for explanations to Israel,
14:59reproaching it for its actions
15:01and now accusing
15:03Israeli troops of repeated
15:05and deliberate shooting
15:07on its positions.
15:13Pedro Sanchez also reacted
15:15to these attacks against the UN.
15:17The Spanish Prime Minister
15:19assured that there would be
15:21no withdrawal of UN troops
15:23deployed in Lebanon.
15:25He condemned with firmness
15:27the statement made yesterday
15:29by Benjamin Netanyahu.
15:31Our commitment to international
15:33legality in the terms
15:35established by Resolution 1701
15:37makes more sense today
15:39than ever,
15:41insisted Pedro Sanchez
15:43in reference to the provision
15:45for the deployment
15:47of Blue Helmets in Lebanon.
15:50More than 9,500 soldiers
15:52have been killed
15:54in the crossfire
15:56between Israel and Hezbollah
15:58since the Lebanese movement
16:00is the target of an open front
16:02by Israel,
16:04created by the Security Council
16:06and the United Nations.
16:08Lebanon aims to orchestrate
16:10the withdrawal of Israeli troops
16:12to the south of the country
16:14and consolidate peace.
16:16Sheyma Fikri tells us more.
16:20It is one of the greatest
16:22peacekeeping missions
16:24in the world.
16:26An international force
16:28whose history is intertwined
16:30with the tragedy
16:32in the south of Lebanon.
16:34The United Nations Interim Force
16:36in Lebanon, FINUL,
16:38was initiated by the vote
16:40of two resolutions
16:42adopted in March 1978
16:44by the UN.
16:46The first troops
16:48were deployed
16:50from the south of Lebanon
16:52by Israel.
16:54This organization
16:56gives rise
16:58to multiple operations.
17:00It is positioned
17:02in a land strip
17:04of 120 km
17:06which follows
17:08the unofficial border
17:10between Israel and Lebanon.
17:12It is the blue line
17:14drawn by the UN
17:16and the Hezbollah.
17:18Created by the United Nations
17:20Security Council,
17:22FINUL was deployed
17:24in Lebanon to fulfill
17:26three objectives,
17:28namely to confirm
17:30the withdrawal
17:32of Israeli forces,
17:34restore peace and security
17:36and help the Lebanese government
17:38ensure the return
17:40of its effective authority
17:42in the region.
17:44Since 2006,
17:46FINUL has also been there
17:48to control the cessation
17:50of hostilities,
17:52to support the Lebanese
17:54armed forces as they deploy
17:56throughout the south
17:58and provide assistance
18:00to help ensure
18:02humanitarian access
18:04to the civilian population
18:06and the voluntary return
18:08of people displaced
18:10under security conditions.
18:12At present,
18:14the organization has 13,000 soldiers
18:16supported by civil,
18:18international and local personnel.
18:20In April 2024,
18:22more than 10,500 blue helmets
18:24have been deployed in the country.
18:26There are more than 9,500 troops
18:28and about 800 civilians,
18:30including locals.
18:34During this time,
18:36there is no more material
18:38to speak indirectly with the United States.
18:40This is the statement
18:42of the head of Iranian diplomacy,
18:44Abbas Aragchi,
18:46which evokes that the
18:48indirect talks with the United States
18:50via Oman by the Iranian
18:52Minister of Foreign Affairs
18:54are aimed at overcoming
18:56the current crisis.
18:58Abbas Aragchi said
19:00that the process has been stopped
19:02due to specific conditions
19:04in the region.
19:06The Palestinian Ministry of Health
19:08has reported 289 deaths
19:10in the Palestinian territory
19:12since the beginning of the war
19:14with Israel more than a year ago.
19:16At least 62 people have been killed
19:18in the last 24 hours,
19:20including Younes Ben Zineba.
19:22Another night of horror
19:24in Gaza,
19:26in the epicenter of the Al-Aqsa hospital
19:28in the center of the Palestinian enclave.
19:30An Israeli attack caused a fire
19:32that quickly spread
19:34in the fortunes' shelters
19:36of this family,
19:38causing several victims.
19:44There are no safe places
19:46in hospitals or schools.
19:50Five days ago they attacked
19:52a school and this morning
19:54they attacked this camp.
19:56What can we do?
19:58There were victims burned alive.
20:00It's horrible.
20:06What we live is catastrophic.
20:08We have lost everything.
20:10Our money, our property.
20:12We have lost everything.
20:14We have become displaced
20:16without a home.
20:18We fled our homes
20:20to settle in this hospital.
20:22Look how this hospital
20:24has become.
20:28This attack took place
20:30the day after the bombing
20:32of a school in another refugee camp
20:34where at least 22 people were killed.
20:36The attacks of the Israeli army
20:38also continue in Sijordani.
20:40The Palestinian Authority
20:42announced the death of two Palestinians
20:44killed by the Israeli army
20:46in the north of the occupied territory.
20:54In the morning,
20:56a special Israeli force unit
20:58was present in the refugee camp.
21:00The soldiers climbed on the roofs of the houses.
21:04They shot at everything that moved
21:06which led to the martyrdom
21:08of a child and a young man
21:10of about 20 years old.
21:12In recent months,
21:14the Israeli army has conducted
21:16several operations on refugee camps
21:18in Sijordani,
21:20especially in Norshams,
21:22near Tulkaram,
21:24in Balata, near Nabuls.
21:26The UN and the Palestinian Authority
21:28report that no less than 36 Palestinians
21:30have been killed.
21:32Still in conflict in the Middle East
21:34during a telephone interview
21:36with his Israeli counterpart,
21:38Israel Katz, Wang Yi,
21:40a Chinese foreign minister,
21:42said on Monday
21:44that it was time to end
21:46the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza
21:48according to state media.
21:50Israel has been carrying out an offensive
21:52for a year in the Gaza Strip
21:54in retaliation for the attacks
21:56of October 7, 2023
21:58carried out by the Palestinian Movement Hamas.
22:00The United Nations cannot fully respond
22:02to the legitimate concerns
22:04of all parties,
22:06said the Chinese minister.
22:10A return to the continent
22:12towards the Ivory Coast
22:14where the revision of the electoral list
22:16starts from October 19
22:18to November 10 next year
22:20in front of the deputies.
22:22The President of the National Assembly
22:24has omitted a probable
22:26non-registration of Laurent Gbagbo
22:28a measure that would eliminate
22:30the former President of the Ivory Coast.
22:32Explanations with Max Souroubi
22:34and Anjou Wilfred.
22:36A year before the presidential elections
22:38in the Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo,
22:40already a candidate for candidacy,
22:42could see his last presidential dream
22:44broken.
22:46The last election of the President
22:48of the Independent Electoral Commission
22:50had his probable re-registration
22:52on the electoral list.
22:54Faced with the national and international press,
22:56the spokesman of his party,
22:58the PPACI, was clear.
23:00For us,
23:02the Catholic discourse
23:04of Cuba last year
23:06aims to put the trouble
23:08in the minds of the Ivorians
23:10as the President of Laurent Gbagbo
23:12and the party leadership
23:14have been destroyed.
23:16Firstly, this is not true.
23:18Secondly, it does not belong to Cuba
23:20to statute on the scope
23:22of the amnesty order.
23:24On the question of knowing
23:26if the PPACI has a plan B
23:28in case of invalidation of the candidacy of Laurent Gbagbo,
23:30the party does not allow
23:32any flexibility.
23:34And we affirm here,
23:36now and in front of everyone
23:38that the candidate of the PPACI
23:40is called
23:42Laurent Gbagbo.
23:48And we do not just say it,
23:50we intend to give all the means
23:52to make you apply
23:54this decision.
23:56Within the presidential majority,
23:58Ben Mehdi, this lawyer and deputy of the nation,
24:00calls on the Socialist Party
24:02to say the law.
24:04From my point of view,
24:06and without being intrusive,
24:08if the PPACI estimates
24:10that Mr. Laurent Gbagbo must appear
24:12on the electoral list because he was founded to do so,
