00:00News from Medias TV
00:14Good evening and welcome to Medias TV. Thank you for joining us for a new newscast. Here are the headlines.
00:22In addition to the attacks in Lebanon, the Israeli army continues its offensive in Gaza.
00:28An Israeli strike has now killed more than 70 people in the Palestinian enclave.
00:33The overflow of the Senegal river has caused enormous damage.
00:37In the face of this disaster, the government announced that it had immediately unblocked 8 billion francs for the first emergency measures.
00:45In the United States, the election campaign continues. Many celebrities have supported the two candidates. We will talk about this at the end of the newscast.
00:53News from Rabat
00:58Her Royal Highness Princess Laila Hassanah presides today at Rabat the Grand Prix of Longines Global Champions Tour 2024.
01:06At the end of this competition, Princess Laila Hassanah gave the Grand Trophy of Longines Global Champions Tour to the Austrian Max Koerner,
01:14who took first place in the ranking at the end of the 15 stages of this international circuit,
01:19while the second and third places went to Christiane Kuckuck and Jane Friedrich Meyer Zimmermann respectively.
01:27I invite you to listen to the winners of the first and second prizes.
01:34It's very special for me here because it brings us closer and closer to the first place in the general ranking of the series.
01:43Winning the Grand Prix is a unique experience for me.
01:50I'm happy to have finished the competition in second place. I really enjoyed playing at Rabat with the enthusiasm of the audience and the well-organized organization.
02:01We had a great show.
02:03And that's what makes this experience exceptional for me as a rider.
02:09Was it always more emotional and interesting for us as a rider?
02:12It was more than I expected.
02:15I saw what was coming.
02:16This tournament showed a level that exceeded my expectations.
02:19Personally, I was impressed by the well-organized organization, even if the competitions took place all day long.
02:25On behalf of all the participants, I thank the organizers and I confirm that compared to all the previous tournaments,
02:31Rabat's was by far one of the best.
02:34I think I speak for the riders and I see so many shows around the world.
02:39This was definitely one of the best.
02:41The UN Secretary-General published this week his annual report on the Moroccan Sahara.
02:45Anthony Guterres highlighted the Atlantic initiative of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
02:49Anthony Guterres also mentioned a key point in the evolution of this file,
02:53namely the recognition by France of the full sovereignty of Morocco over its Sahara.
02:58This position of France, a permanent member of the UN Security Council,
03:02incites a new dynamic to this file.
03:07The main responsibility of the United Nations Security Council
03:10in the maintenance of peace and international security was reaffirmed
03:13at the 18th Annual Joint Consultative Meeting with the African Union Security Council,
03:19a meeting to which Morocco took part this week in New York.
03:22For Mohamed Harouchi, a permanent representative of Morocco near the UAE,
03:26this approach, taken by Morocco, aims to respond to the needs of African populations
03:31in terms of peace, stability and sustainable development.
03:37For three days, Algerian journalist Hicham Aboud has not given any sign of life.
03:41The Spanish press is also beginning to take an interest in this matter.
03:44The Spanish press agency EFE cited the lawyer of journalist Elie Elskly,
03:48who has always had no news of his client.
03:51In an exclusive interview with Median TV,
03:54his lawyer denies the hypothesis of the disappearance of the exiled opponent in France.
03:59Hicham Aboud's lawyer, Elie Elskly, accuses the Algerian military agent
04:04of having orchestrated the kidnapping of his client,
04:07of whom he has remained without news since October 17,
04:10the date on which Hicham Aboud told him that he was going to take the plane to Barcelona.
04:14I suggest you listen to him.
04:16For the moment, all we can say is that Hicham Aboud,
04:21on October 17, 2024, at 10 o'clock in the morning,
04:25told me that he was going to take the plane to Barcelona.
04:32Since October 17, 2024, and particularly from 3 p.m.,
04:41we have had no news of Hicham Aboud.
04:45The family, of course, contacted me.
04:51And unfortunately, still at this stage today,
04:54I use the term kidnapping and not disappearance
04:57because we already have the opportunity to raise this question in front of the PNAT,
05:03the PNAT is the National Anti-Terrorist Party of Paris and Liège,
05:07since my client was already the subject of a first kidnapping attempt a few years ago.
05:13Today, we are obviously worried
05:18and we ask questions to find out who is behind this kidnapping.
05:24Of course, you know better than me the position and commitment
05:29of our journalist friend, writer Hicham Aboud.
05:34Hicham Aboud has been the target of the military agent for several years.
05:39And today, of course, we think,
05:43family, me and Hicham Aboud's friend,
05:46that the authors of this attempt or maybe kidnapping
05:51are the Algerian military agents.
05:54According to the President of the Movement for Self-Determination,
05:57Kabil, everything suggests that Hicham Aboud
06:00would have fallen into a trap set by the Algerian services in Spanish territory.
06:04On the social network XFALHATMAHENI,
06:07the only question to ask is whether he has already been transferred
06:11to Algeria or whether he has been assassinated.
06:14I hope this is not one of the two cases.
06:16End of quote.
06:17And for the President of the Movement for Self-Determination,
06:19it is a new very dangerous level that the Algerian power has just crossed
06:22that Western countries should sanction.
06:25In the Middle East, an Israeli strike killed at least 73 people.
06:29Yesterday, in the Gaza Strip, this new Israeli attack
06:32took place in a residential area of Beit Lehiya,
06:35where it intensified its raids since the beginning of the Israeli offensive.
06:38More than 42,600 Palestinians were killed in the enclave
06:41and nearly 100,000 were injured.
06:44According to UNICEF, Gaza is a hell on earth for Palestinian children.
06:51Dozens of projectiles were fired today from Lebanon to the north of Israel,
06:55causing major damage.
06:57The Israeli army has claimed to have intercepted some of its missiles.
07:00This has led to an aerial strike on a command center
07:04and an underground site in Beirut.
07:06These strikes were preceded by a call to evacuate launched by Israel
07:09to the inhabitants of two neighborhoods in the south.
07:15La Finule announces that the Israeli army deliberately destroyed
07:18one of its observation towers.
07:20In a statement published on Sunday evening,
07:22the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon reports
07:25that a bulldozer from the Israeli army deliberately destroyed
07:28an observation tower as well as the closure of a position of the UN in Marwahin,
07:32a village south of Lebanon.
07:34La Finule still claims to maintain all its positions
07:37despite the Israeli pressure.
07:42In Senegal, about 55,000 people are affected by floods
07:47caused by the overflow of the Senegal River.
07:50More than 1,000 hectares of agricultural land were destroyed by this disaster
07:53in the departments of Tambacounda, Baguel, Matam and Saint Louis.
07:58Explanations with Soheil Jalil.
08:0155,600 displaced people and 1,000 hectares of flooded crops.
08:07The sad report of the overflow of the Senegal River
08:10as a result of heavy rains.
08:12Faced with this disaster, the government announces
08:14that it has immediately unblocked 8 billion francs CFA
08:17for the first emergency measures.
08:19An inter-ministerial mobilization has also been put in place
08:22under the coordination of the Minister of the Interior,
08:25including the armed forces, health, hydrology and sanitation.
08:29In the Tente de la Rescousse, along the river,
08:32the distress stresses the populations.
08:34It's really complicated for us.
08:36We don't know what to do.
08:38We are forced to move, to live somewhere.
08:41We have become climate refugees.
08:43I have become a climate refugee.
08:45And we are fighting.
08:47If at least our authorities can find a solution in advance
08:52so that every year we don't talk about water, water, water, water, flooding,
08:57it would be a good thing.
08:59This year, for this year, it has exceeded the limits.
09:02It has exceeded the limits.
09:04But we are defending ourselves, we are in it.
09:06We have nowhere to go.
09:08Well, we are here.
09:10At the moment, the Organization for the Enhancement of the Senegal River, the OMVS,
09:14follows closely the evolution of the current hydrological situation.
09:18According to the instructions for the implementation of the Senegal River Alert Plan,
09:22orange vigilance remains activated on all river localities,
09:25with a trend of red vigilance in the areas of Bakel, Gouray, Matam, Lescheba 2, Podor, Kaidi and Touffandé-Civé.
09:33There has been an impact of fallen houses,
09:37ceded bridges, ceded roads,
09:43imported vehicles, in the case of the northern region.
09:48And all these constants have also caused losses in human lives.
09:57These are the most nefarious consequences we have seen during this season.
10:01Yes, I mean, if you monitor the West African monsoon system...
10:07If you monitor the West African monsoon system,
10:10you will notice that over the past 15 years or so,
10:13this system has been extremely active.
10:15This means that we have had torrential rains,
10:18excessive rainfall almost every year,
10:20which explains what is currently happening.
10:30The Senegal Minister of the Interior and Public Security, Jean-Baptiste Thin,
10:34announced the implementation of an emergency plan,
10:36Storypost, facing the floods, which affects several regions of Senegal
10:39due to the overflow of the Senegal and Gambia rivers.
10:42The plan aims to provide immediate help to the affected populations,
10:45particularly in terms of food, shelter and medical care.
10:48The floods, caused by the exceptional rise in water levels due to heavy rains
10:52and the effects of climate change,
10:54particularly affect five regions,
10:56Kedougou, Tamba Kounda, Matam, Saint-Louis and Kolda.
11:01We stay in Senegal, where President Basir Oudzemay welcomed 117 people from Lebanon yesterday.
11:07The head of the Senegalese state was delighted
11:09that these exiled people have returned safe and sound.
11:12Among the people, there are also Lebanese.
11:14I propose to listen to some reactions.
11:17I am not happy and I am happy.
11:20I have my two daughters who are there,
11:22and then all my family,
11:24and then the war between the south of Lebanon and Palestine.
11:29I hope it will really stop.
11:32It's hard to talk about that.
11:34Everything is lost.
11:35My son is lost.
11:36My house is lost.
11:38All my dreams, all my dreams, everything.
11:41It's hard.
11:42What am I going to talk about?
11:45You can't imagine.
11:46We have a 14 and a half year old son who disappears like that.
11:49Ten minutes ago, I was talking to him.
11:51Hello?
11:52He said, Dad, are you coming to my house?
11:54I said, yes.
11:55In February,
11:57at the end of February, I will come.
11:59Definitely.
12:01Ten minutes later, I am called.
12:03There is no more house.
12:04There is no more son.
12:05There was no fire.
12:07There was a gas.
12:09A gas.
12:10And it blackened the skin.
12:12And the pressure threw it at 100 meters.
12:14At 20 meters from there,
12:16it made an internal cerebral hemorrhage.
12:19It doesn't forgive.
12:20Fifteen minutes later, he is dead.
12:22On the neck, he is not dead.
12:23He died fifteen minutes later.
12:25And now my daughter, she is in the house.
12:28She has a broken foot.
12:30Fortunately, God has thanked him.
12:32We put a screw, we operated on it.
12:34It's okay.
12:35She is waiting for him to come.
12:43Direction Niger,
12:44where we go to discover a bus
12:46not like the others.
12:47In this vehicle,
12:48passengers do not come for transport,
12:50but to learn computer science,
12:52a free training
12:53intended for the population of rural areas.
12:55Jean-Gébriel William tells us more.
12:58In this neighborhood of Lazaré,
13:00in the suburbs of Niamey,
13:01it is a bus not like the others,
13:02which has taken its habits
13:03for three weeks.
13:05On board,
13:06tables and computers
13:07have replaced the classic seats.
13:10A real school on wheels,
13:12where passengers are trained
13:14in computer science and digital.
13:16This initiative is really
13:18the PVI project,
13:19the intelligent village project.
13:21A project that is there
13:23to contribute
13:24to the technological development of the country.
13:28As you can see in the bus,
13:29there are all the equipment
13:31that is really needed
13:33to do a computer training.
13:35We have benches,
13:36computers,
13:37there is even projection
13:38and a microphone.
13:40Mobile money,
13:41text processing
13:42or even mastery
13:43of computer tools.
13:45Here,
13:46information is free
13:47and lasts an average of four weeks.
13:49An opportunity for these populations,
13:51for the most of them,
13:52profane in the field of digital.
13:55I learn the basics of computer science,
13:57but also how to pay bills
13:58or make purchases
13:59from my mobile phone.
14:01And I have to say
14:02that it is really practical.
14:03Today,
14:04it is important to know
14:05all these things.
14:08Today,
14:09to apply for a job,
14:10it is essential
14:11to have computer skills.
14:13Especially for someone like me
14:15who wants to work
14:16in a bank later.
14:17Here,
14:18I can learn
14:19how to fill invoices,
14:20notebooks
14:21and many other things
14:22that will help me a lot.
14:24Note that the mobile bus
14:25is a component
14:26of the intelligent village project
14:28launched in 2022
14:29by the state of Niger.
14:31Its goal
14:32is to promote
14:33digital literacy
14:34and financial education
14:35of populations
14:36in rural areas.
14:39Direction Guinea
14:40where the NGO
14:41Rassemblements des Aveugles
14:42and Malvoyants
14:43organized this weekend
14:44the international day
14:45of sight,
14:46the opportunity
14:47to invite them,
14:48to invite the authorities
14:49of the country
14:50to pay more attention
14:51to this vulnerable
14:52layer of society.
14:53Our correspondent
14:54since Conakry,
14:55Driss Assise,
14:56tells us about it.
14:59As every year
15:00since its creation
15:01in 2018,
15:02the NGO
15:03Rassemblements des Aveugles
15:04et Malvoyants
15:05of Guinea
15:06organizes
15:07every October 12th
15:08a day
15:09to attract
15:10the attention
15:11of the authorities
15:12on their situation
15:13which is not too bright
15:14in Guinea.
15:15For this year,
15:16the NGO pleads
15:17to make the slogan
15:18Education for All
15:19a reality.
15:20Partners
15:21accompany the organization
15:22to win this bet.
15:24At the level
15:25of the authorities,
15:26all we are going to say
15:27is to make sure
15:28that there are
15:29schools
15:30for visually impaired
15:31people
15:32inside the country.
15:33We have
15:34only one school,
15:35this school
15:36has also
15:37come out
15:38of the ground
15:39since 2002.
15:40We intervene
15:41with all types
15:42of handicapped,
15:43be it
15:44the blind,
15:45the physically handicapped
15:46and all those
15:47who are concerned
15:48with the issue
15:49of the handicapped.
15:50We have given
15:51bags
15:52and bracelets
15:53to all
15:54people
15:55who are
15:56visually impaired.
15:57This visually impaired
15:58has decided
15:59to get involved
16:00in music
16:01to defend
16:02their cause.
16:03In his songs,
16:04he comes back
16:05to the hardships
16:06he went through
16:07during his studies
16:08and especially
16:09in his search
16:10for employment.
16:11Everyone sings
16:12for the visually impaired,
16:13everyone talks
16:14about the problem
16:15of the visually impaired,
16:16but no one
16:17talks about
16:18the problem
16:19of the visually impaired.
16:20And if you are also
16:21visually impaired,
16:22you talk about
16:23the fact
16:24that we are all
16:25rejected
16:26in some schools.
16:27When you come,
16:28you pay.
16:29Today,
16:30tomorrow you come,
16:31they say
16:32we can't teach you
16:33because we have
16:34a hard time
16:35adapting
16:36to how
16:37others teach you.
16:38So,
16:39we can't.
16:40We tell you
16:41that blatantly.
16:42So,
16:43we fire you
16:44and we give
16:45you your
16:46money.
16:47Why are you
16:48rejected?
16:49Why don't
16:50we look
16:51for a way
16:52to find
16:53a job?
16:54Because
16:55we have
16:56no job
16:57and we
16:58wouldn't
16:59hire you.
17:00While they
17:01know that
17:02some of
17:03them have
17:04jobs,
17:05it's because
17:06you're visually
17:07impaired
17:08that we
17:09don't
17:10hire you.
17:11This day
17:12was set up
17:13by the
17:14RAMGI NGO
17:15to organise
17:16a competition
17:17between
17:18visually impaired
17:19students
17:20from different
17:21to the American presidential campaign.
17:34Kamala Harris is celebrating her 60th birthday today,
17:38on the day of the American presidential election.
17:40The Democrat candidate sets the record straight
17:42this Sunday in Pennsylvania.
17:44On this anniversary day, Kamala Harris
17:46attacked Donald Trump's age,
17:48her 78-year-old Republican rival
17:50who she finds unstable and too used
17:52to lead the United States again.
17:56The issue of immigration is at the heart
17:58of this American electoral campaign.
18:00I invite you to listen to the analysis
18:02by Yassine Liatzioui, Secretary General
18:04and associate researcher at NEJ Maroc.
18:06Immigration is really the hard core
18:09of the theme of these presidential elections.
18:14Donald Trump wants to continue
18:16what he did in his first term
18:19between 2016 and 2020.
18:22That means having a very strict
18:25immigration policy,
18:27continuing his wall plan
18:29that separates the United States
18:32and the border with Mexico,
18:35and also giving a priority
18:39to American domestic policy
18:41with a deep disengagement
18:43of the United States
18:45on the level of diplomacy.
18:47Donald Trump announced
18:49that the United States
18:51would no longer support
18:53the Ukrainian cause
18:55if it comes to power,
18:57and that the conflict
18:59also in the Middle East
19:01will be resolved in a few months
19:03if it returns to the White House.
19:05While Kamala Harris
19:07has a speech
19:10responding to the inflation
19:14that the United States
19:16has been suffering from
19:18for several years,
19:20since the COVID period,
19:22an inflation that is putting
19:24an American society
19:26more and more into impoverishment.
19:28The American middle class
19:30is suffering from this inflation.
19:32There is also an unemployment rate
19:34that has fallen
19:36during Joe Biden's term
19:38despite his great structural policies.
19:41So Kamala Harris
19:43has really put the cursor
19:45on a social priority
19:47and an economic priority.
19:49The issue of youth
19:51will also be very important
19:53because for now
19:55youth and
19:57subscribers absent
19:59in this presidential campaign
20:01and the last two weeks
20:03that are taking place
20:05will be
20:07an important cursor
20:09for the two candidates
20:11in order to convince
20:13this abstentionist youth
20:15and answer their questions.
20:17These are rather environmental
20:19questions, also questions
20:21of the societal order.
20:23What should be
20:25the American society of tomorrow?
20:27And this is why Donald Trump
20:29and Kamala Harris are multiplying
20:31not the congresses
20:33and seminars
20:35or other big conferences.
20:37They are present on 2.0
20:39as famous Youtubers
20:41and famous streamers
20:43in order to recover this electorate
20:45that is for now very hesitant.
20:47A few days after the poll
20:49the two candidates are at odds
20:51in each of the most disputed states
20:53the famous swing states
20:55despite a series of unprecedented
20:57upsurges in the campaign.
20:59Donald Trump's condemnation,
21:01two attempts to assassinate the vice-president
21:03and the withdrawal of Joe Biden's candidacy.
21:05More than 10 million Americans
21:07and 3 million in these states
21:09that should decide the election
21:11according to data compiled
21:13by the University of Florida.
21:25Back to Morocco
21:27where the 24th edition
21:29of the Tanger Film Festival continues.
21:31The first day of the competition
21:33was marked by the screening
21:35of Hassan Bijloun's film
21:37that I invite you to listen to.
21:39I have always thought about docu-
21:41I have always thought about documentaries.
21:43I don't know if you have noticed
21:45all my fiction films
21:47are docu-fictions.
21:49They are documentaries
21:51based on a subject,
21:53based on research,
21:55based on almost...
21:57All my films
21:59can be documentaries
22:01because when I talk about
22:03the departure of the Jews
22:05from Palestine,
22:07when I talk about the years of plan,
22:09when I talk about
22:11the unemployed,
22:13when I talk about the French occupation,
22:15when I talk about the Palestinian cause,
22:17all my films are almost
22:19documentaries.
22:21Hassan's influence
22:23is his work,
22:25his motivation, his passion,
22:27especially his convictions.
22:29Convictions,
22:31as I explained,
22:33are Moroccan convictions
22:35that are immense.
22:37When you are passionate
22:39and convinced,
22:41it's easy.
22:43Why?
22:45Because when you talk,
22:47you feel
22:49the honesty,
22:51the truth of the story.
22:53It's not superfluous.
22:55That's it.
22:57A key point in this film
22:59is the principle of
23:01generational transmission
23:03in terms of music,
23:05between authentic Moroccan music
23:07and classical music.
23:09The idea was to create a bridge
23:11at the end between the two generations.
23:13That was really the goal.
23:15Then we were filled.
23:17We shot this film in May last year
23:19and in December we learn
23:21that Melhoun was recognized
23:23as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
23:25We said to ourselves,
23:27it's a wonderful coincidence.
23:29As I said at the beginning,
23:31this film was born
23:33from a crisis,
23:35the Covid crisis.
23:37When we were locked up,
23:39I spent the first week at home
23:41and I said to myself,
23:43there are two hypotheses.
23:45Either I write something dark
23:47about what was happening
23:49at that time,
23:51or I want to write a breath,
23:53something poetic,
23:55so that people can breathe.
23:57This is the end of this newscast.
24:01Stay with us.
