00:00Good evening to all and to all, right away the essentials of the news and we start with the titles.
00:24The Elysée confirms the state visit of President Macron in Morocco on Monday, October 28 or October 30.
00:32A visit will be made on the invitation of His Majesty King Mohammed VI and which aims to mark a new ambition for the decades to come.
00:41The conference for Lebanon initiated by President Emmanuel Macron allowed to raise one billion dollars for Lebanon and its army.
00:55And in the United States, the presidential campaign is in full swing. Donald Trump decides to bet everything on the defense of democracy before November 5.
01:06And Kamala Harris, she decided to dramatize the issues of the election in the last straight line. Development to follow in this newspaper.
01:14We start with this communiqué of the Elysée which confirms the state visit of President Macron in Morocco on Monday, October 28 or October 30.
01:25A state visit that the head of the Elysée will make with his wife Brigitte Macron on the invitation of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
01:33A state visit of the French president in the kingdom which is dedicated to the renewal of a deep friendship.
01:40And according to the Elysée, this state visit of President Macron in Morocco aims to mark a new ambition for the decades to come.
01:48It is also, always according to the terms of this official communiqué of the French executive, I quote,
01:54to inscribe our relationship in a context of rapid transformation of the international scene.
01:59This state visit of President Macron in Morocco will also be an opportunity for the French authorities
02:05to work to support their respective economic, energy, health and environmental sovereignties.
02:12In this communiqué, the Elysée also underlines that it is for France to accompany Morocco in its ambition to make the Cannes 2025
02:21and the World Cup 2030 events of great magnitude and great success.
02:27So among the last axes addressed in this communiqué of the Elysée,
02:31the role of the Kingdom of Morocco in terms of North-South and South-North cooperation.
02:36I always quote the communiqué, we can see that Morocco has a vocation to constitute a hub between Europe and Africa.
02:48And precisely, according to the Elysée, the ambitions of Rabat and Paris are included in the continuity
02:53of the analysis of Mustapha Tossa, editorialist and political analyst, who was our guest in the previous edition.
03:00I suggest you listen to him.
03:03Yes, this tells us about the motives and reasons that have made France recently modify its vision of the Moroccan Sahara
03:14and openly supported the sovereignty of Morocco over the Sahara.
03:19This is not a reflection, a positioning of a day or of a context.
03:25It is really a politically hard-fought decision that envisages bringing the two countries into a sequence.
03:34We have talked about the next 30 years.
03:37It is to say to what extent it is really a situation, a position that has been taken with a lot of logic and reason.
03:47On the occasion of this briefing that took place at the Elysée, we learned a few elements of information on this visit.
03:54We learned, for example, that the Minister of the Interior Bruno Rotailleau will be part of the delegation,
04:02which implies that the question of migration, whether legal migration or the fight against illegal migration, will be at the heart of this visit.
04:12We also learned that the Minister of the Armed Forces Sébastien Lecornu will be part of this delegation,
04:18which means that the arms contracts or military and security cooperation will be at the heart of this visit.
04:26What must also be said is that the Elysée has so far refused to reveal the extent of the economic contracts that Morocco will sign with France on this occasion.
04:35Perhaps they want to reserve the effects of the announcement of these important contracts to the two heads of state who will meet on Monday.
04:43Another very important element is that President Macron will deliver an extremely long speech on Tuesday in front of the Moroccan Parliament.
04:54I think it is on this occasion that he will put his perspective, the positioning of France towards the sovereignty of Morocco on the Sable.
05:02The Elysée also underlines the importance of supporting our respective economic, energy, health and environmental sovereignties,
05:11a transversal and multisectoral cooperation. I invite you to listen to Moustapha Tossa.
05:18Yes, it is true that the use in terms of sovereignty is not innocent and it has a very political and symbolic meaning.
05:29When we talk about sovereignty between Morocco and France, these are two countries that speak to each other as adults.
05:40We ended the period of the vertical discourse between France and the Maghreb region or Morocco.
05:50This term of sovereignty is welcome in this discourse.
05:54This means that the two countries are reinventing their ways of communicating, their ways of collaborating and cooperating.
06:02This means that the strategic partnership that they are preparing to relaunch will not be the same as the one that was developed and built in the 1990s.
06:14Because the equation has changed, because Morocco has changed, France has changed and the region has changed.
06:21This term of sovereignty is extremely important and I think it must resonate like a soft music to the Moroccan ears
06:30that is about to start this negotiation process for the next decades in their relationship with France.
06:38And France also assures that it will accompany Morocco in its ambition to make the Cannes 2025 and the World Cup 2030 events of great magnitude and great success.
06:49Moustapha Tossa tells us more.
06:51Yes, it is true that the Elysee has reminded that France has just organized the Olympic Games with an unquestionable success
07:02and that it wants to put this expertise, this know-how, at the service of Morocco,
07:08which is also preparing to organize a major African competition, which is the Cannes in 2025, but also the World Cup in 2030.
07:18So the French absolutely want to hang their wagons to these two major events for Morocco.
07:24And of course, who says expertise, who says know-how, it is also an economic participation in these two world events.
07:32And this is also the interest that France can draw from such an event, a Moroccan as rich as strategic.
07:41And in the Elysee, as organized at the initiative of Emmanuel Macron, an international conference on Lebanon takes place this Thursday, October 24, in Paris.
07:51The conference, which brought together heads of state from all over the world and about fifteen international organizations,
07:57has enabled a $1 billion aid and contributions in nature for the country to which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has extended.
08:06Sohail Jalil for more details.
08:08$1 billion for Lebanon.
08:14Nearly 70 countries and international organizations participated in the conference, organized by Paris Thursday,
08:21to bring humanitarian aid to Lebanon and hope to contribute to its recovery.
08:26A humanitarian aid of $800 million has been promised and 200 million more to equip the Lebanese army.
08:34The United Nations has launched a call for 426 million euros.
08:38France will bring 100 million euros to the occasion of this conference.
08:42What is needed is simply to shelter families, feed children, treat the wounded, continue to ensure the education of students.
08:50We must find solutions as quickly as possible.
08:52We must at all costs prevent the movement of people from the south to Beirut and other regions of Lebanon from creating new divisions among the Lebanese.
09:02Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, expressed his support for the Lebanese people during the conference of support organized in Paris,
09:10thanking President Macron for his initiative.
09:13His speech focused on the seriousness of the situation in Lebanon, exacerbated by the regional conflicts and the rise of military tensions.
09:21We observe intense and continuous aerial bombardments carried out by Israel in the densely populated areas of Lebanon,
09:28including Beirut, and land raids through the Blue Line, as well as continuous missile, drone and rocket attacks from Hezbollah against Israel.
09:39An immediate ceasefire is necessary, accompanied by significant measures towards the full implementation of the 1559 and 1701 resolutions of the Security Council.
09:51The international community was at the heart of the issue, said the head of French diplomacy,
09:56stating that the United States was among the main contributors, with an envelope of 300 million dollars.
10:03Mr. Prime Minister, we have collectively raised 800 million dollars in humanitarian aid and 200 million dollars for the security forces,
10:11or almost a billion, or even more than a billion, with the latest contributions.
10:17We are therefore at the heart of the issue, I wanted to thank you and congratulate you.
10:25The third conclusion I draw from our exchanges is that we cannot be satisfied with a humanitarian and security response to the crisis,
10:31we must provide a diplomatic solution.
10:34For his part, the Lebanese Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, stated that the Lebanese state must have the monopoly of weapons,
10:41while Hezbollah and the Israeli army are violently clashing along the border.
10:49The priority to put an end to the war is summarized in one thing, the deployment and reinforcement of the Lebanese army in the south.
10:56After that, a President of the Republic must be elected as soon as possible.
11:03For the top representative of the European Union for foreign policy, Joseph Borrell,
11:08the United Nations Interim Force deployed in southern Lebanon, the Finul, must be fully used rather than reformed or modified its mandate.
11:23What do we have? We have 10,000 men deployed at the border, we could have 15,000, because 15,000 is the number allowed for the Finul.
11:30I think we must explore all the possibilities for the Finul to be more operational within its mandate.
11:38And everybody agreed on supporting UNIFIL.
11:42Participants from 70 countries have agreed on the urgency of a diplomatic solution,
11:47allowing to ensure a sustainable security of the population in Israel as in Lebanon.
11:52This solution goes through the full implementation of Resolution 1701, with an end to the hostilities on both sides of the border.
11:59This resolution of the United Nations, which had enacted the end of the previous war between Israel and Hezbollah in 2006,
12:05stipulates that only the Blue Helmets and the Lebanese army must be deployed in southern Lebanon, on the border with Israel.
12:14We are still in contact with the Israeli-Palestinian war.
12:18Faced with the Israeli threat, the civil defense is no longer able to continue its rescue activities in northern Gaza.
12:25We regret that we will no longer be able to provide humanitarian services to the citizens of northern Gaza
12:32due to the threats of the Israeli occupation forces to kill and bomb our teams if they stay inside.
12:40These are the words of Mahmoud Bassal, spokesman for the First Aid Service,
12:45who also affirmed that rescuers were taken as targets, several were injured and others were left to die on the roads.
12:53And on a whole other level, Russian President Vladimir Putin has saluted today the sincere words of Donald Trump,
13:00Republican candidate, at the US presidential election in November on his desire to put an end to the conflict in Ukraine.
13:07Trump spoke of wanting to do everything to put an end to the Ukrainian conflict.
13:12It seems to me that he says it sincerely and statements of this kind, whatever their origin,
13:19we welcome them, of course, favorably.
13:23These are the words of Vladimir Putin at a press conference during the BRICS summit in Kazan.
13:36And now a tour of the US presidential election.
13:48Kamala Harris decided to dramatize the issues of the election in the last straight line.
13:58Her tour on Thursday in Georgia of Barack Obama and singer Bruce Springsteen for his return in this key state of the southeast of the United States.
14:08Faced with Donald Trump, whom she publicly called a fascist yesterday,
14:13the vice-president decided to bet everything on the defense of democracy before November 5,
14:18at a time when no poll manages to divide the Democratic candidate and the former Republican president.
14:24Donald Trump, who will be the oldest president to swear allegiance if he is elected,
14:28continues his frenzied rhythm of campaign rallies throughout the country.
14:33The 78-year-old candidate will be in Arizona in the early afternoon.
14:40And the 60-year-old Democratic candidate will be on stage for the first time with former President Barack Obama,
14:49who has already wetted the shirt several times for the one who could become the first black woman president.
14:56Kamala Harris also went virtual to dramatize the issues of the scrutiny
15:01against a rival who never recognized his defeat in 2020
15:05and who did not commit to recognizing the outcome of the next scrutiny if it is unfavorable to him.
15:12Wednesday, she accused him of being in search of absolute power
15:16and his team promised next Tuesday a solemn requisition against Donald Trump in Washington,
15:22where the former president had slandered his supporters just before he attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
15:41And back to Morocco with this government council which was held today under the presidency of Aziz Arnouch.
15:48The council attended an exhibition of the Minister of Justice on the role of the Public Ministry
15:53in front of the administrative tribunals, followed by an exhibition of the Minister of Economic Inclusion,
15:58Small Business, Employment and Competencies on access to professional training establishments
16:04at the end of the year 2024-2025.
16:06Subsequently, the council examined two decree projects.
16:10The first concerns the application of the provisions of Articles 42 and 44
16:15of the law in accordance with the drug code of the pharmacy,
16:19while the second is related to the obtaining of certificates of free sale
16:24and certificates of conformity to the rules of good manufacturing practices.
16:32Morocco reaffirms the link between terrorism and separatism in front of the UN Security Council.
16:41The permanent ambassador of the Kingdom to the UN, Mohamed Harouchi,
16:46stressed that the activities of terrorist groups in Africa have devastating consequences,
16:52causing disturbances, massive displacement of the population and considerable human losses.
16:59Mohamed Harouchi added that Africa has suffered an economic loss of 171 billion dollars
17:05because of terrorism over the last decade.
17:11Enmar Hillel briefed the Security Council on the situation in the Central African Republic.
17:17As President of the Central African Republic Confederation of the Peace Consolidation Commission,
17:23Enmar Hillel briefed yesterday the Council on the progress in terms of peace consolidation in this African country.
17:31This meeting was marked in particular by the presentation of the UN Secretary-General's report
17:39on the situation in the Central African Republic by the special representative of the Secretary-General
17:46and the head of MINUSCA, Valentin Wabiza.
17:53Direction in Abidjan, the governance of the borders at the heart of the Abidjan Border Forum,
18:00co-organized by the African Union and the Ivorian authorities.
18:05More than 50,000 participants met for a sustainable management of African borders.
18:11More details with Max Sou and Ferdinand Kouakou.
18:17Faced with border issues, it has become imperative for African countries
18:22to mutualize their resources and their actions in the light of a good securitization
18:27and sustainable development of their border areas.
18:30Frontal actors from several countries are here at the Abidjan Exhibition Park
18:34at this Pan-African meeting to reflect together on innovative solutions
18:38transforming Abidjan, the pearl of the lagoons, into the capital of African borders for three days.
18:45We are at the second edition of the Abidjan Border Forum,
18:48a Pan-African platform that offers opportunities for exchange and interaction
18:53between state, non-state, national and international frontal actors.
18:58It will be a matter of reflecting and finding solutions to the environmental crisis
19:04that threatens the stability of the trans-frontal spaces in Africa.
19:10This is why I ardently hope that the reflections and debates during this forum
19:21can better reflect the answers to the challenges and current issues surrounding the preservation of the environment.
19:31It becomes obvious that a better governance and a harmonious socio-economic development
19:37of the border areas constitutes an essential step forward
19:43to face the fragility of the border areas,
19:48especially concerning the terrorist threat,
19:51which is an important lever for their development and that of our states.
19:56The 2024 edition of the Abidjan Border Forum is furnished with panels, conferences,
20:01high-level roundtables, B2B meetings, networking and cultural activities.
20:07The African Union, through its so-called Border Programme of the African Union,
20:11PCA, will develop its vision on border governance on the continent.
20:17Senegal is hit by an unprecedented wave of heat since the beginning of October.
20:23Brunos, temperatures that push citizens to find solutions to cool down.
20:28Abdul Barri and Chirne Daou and more details.
20:33For several months, Senegal has been plunged into a wave of suffocating heat.
20:39With temperatures nearing 40 degrees Celsius,
20:43this heatwave, which has become almost unbearable,
20:47affects thousands of people across the country.
20:53Although this phenomenon is not new,
20:56it seems to benefit some merchants, especially fan sellers.
21:04At the moment, we give thanks to God.
21:07Customers come in masses and they come to buy our fans.
21:10Since the month of July until today, everything is going wonderfully
21:14and we are making huge profits.
21:16In the approach of winter, considered in Senegal as the season of freshness,
21:20we do not have many customers.
21:24In Grand Dakar, in the Dakar valley,
21:27the inhabitants are subjected to an increase in heat,
21:30a direct consequence of the high demand for these cooling devices.
21:36Currently in Senegal, it is very hot.
21:39Some turn on the fan while using the air conditioner.
21:43In this period of heat, fan prices have increased a lot.
21:47Those sold for 10,000 francs are found at 16,000 or 17,000 francs.
21:51While those whose prices were at 20,000 francs
21:54are also found at 10,000 francs.
21:57Prices have increased because merchants buy in large quantities
22:00and put them in stock in order to wait for this precise moment
22:03due to the heat to increase prices.
22:07Fan repairers and air conditioners also know a strong activity.
22:12With the excessive use of these equipment,
22:16their workshops no longer work,
22:19offering a second life to these exhausted machines
22:22due to the intensity of their use.
22:26In the heat, there is a lot of work.
22:29There is a problem of winding and cutting.
22:34Sometimes they cut or have fans.
22:38It's better.
22:40While the heat continues to reach record levels,
22:43fan prices are increasing.
22:46This increase in temperature
22:49is no longer a question of heat,
22:52but becomes a real challenge for the daily survival of Senegalese.
22:59And a nice sport to end this edition.
23:02The next FIFA monthly ranking has some notable changes.
23:05The Lions of the Atlas are progressing in the new update.
23:08Published today, the winner twice of the Central African Cup,
23:125-0 then 4-0.
23:14The selection of Wally Delegregui wins a place,
23:17thus placing itself in the 13th place at the global level.
23:20This makes it the first African and Arab nation to reach this level.
23:24At the continental level, the Lions of the Atlas will be followed by Senegal and Algeria,
23:28who complete the podium.
23:30Finally, in the international level,
23:32Argentina keeps its first place in front of France,
23:35second, and Spain on the last step of the podium.
23:44This is how this edition ends.
23:46Thank you for following it.
23:48But of course, the information continues on Mediain.
23:51Stay with us.
