02:10Mauritania hosts 400,000 refugees from the Sahel countries.
02:13This is what Mohamed Selim Ould Merzoug said,
02:1610% of the total population.
02:18Sahara Media takes up the statements of the Mauritanian Minister of Foreign Affairs
02:22during the opening ceremony of the donors' conference
02:25for support for the Sahel and Lake Chad refugees,
02:28which was held the day before yesterday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
02:31This overpopulation has pushed new refugees to move to other villages,
02:35already affected by the effects of climate change,
02:38said Ould Merzoug, before adding that it is natural that this generates major challenges
02:42that negatively affect the peaceful coexistence
02:45and the supply of water, sanitation, shelter and food
02:48on an equal footing with the host communities.
02:51Mauritania has devoted a large part of its security forces' resources
02:55to the management of the flow of refugees and migrants,
02:58which affects their ability to respond to other security challenges,
03:02concluded the minister during the Saudi event.
03:07Donald Trump's return to New York aroused negative reactions
03:10due to racist and vulgar remarks.
03:12A week before the presidential election in the United States,
03:15Politico informs us of a meeting turned into a real fiasco.
03:18This is what the specialized magazine described as
03:21the last representation of the Republican candidate in the city that never sleeps.
03:25The reason? The racist diatribe of a pro-Trump comedian
03:28having caused heavy condemnations, says Politico.
03:31This man is Tony Hinchcliffe,
03:33host of the podcast Kill Tony,
03:35who opened the meeting with a set full of insults
03:38to Afro-Americans and other groups
03:40that Trump's campaign actively aims to mobilize for the former president.
03:44These racist remarks have aroused a repressive vibe
03:47from the entire political spectrum,
03:49including from the two eminent Republicans
03:51of the Congress of Florida and New York.
03:54A Trump adviser even stated that the remarks of the speakers
03:57had not been examined by the campaign team.
04:01We end this edition with the presidential election in Uruguay.
04:04The left-wing candidate, leading at the end of the first round,
04:07will face the one in power in the second round in Porto-le-Monde.
04:10Given the favourites, Yamandu Orsi is well ahead
04:12according to the projections given yesterday by Uruguayan television,
04:15with a percentage positioned between 43 and 44%,
04:19under the bar of the absolute majority
04:21that would have allowed him to be elected.
04:23From the first round, he will face on November 24th
04:25the candidate of the National Right-Wing Party in power, Alvaro Delgado.
04:29President Luis Lacalle Pou,
04:32at the head of a right-wing coalition,
04:34has promised an orderly transition.
04:36The Uruguayans were called to elect the president
04:38and vice-president of the country,
04:40in addition to many senators and deputies.
04:42Public security is at the forefront of concerns
04:45in a country at a low level of poverty and inequality
04:48compared to the rest of the region,
04:50but which, however, suffers from an increase in violence
04:53linked to drugs.
04:55This is the end of this press conference.
