01:08Let's start with the visit of the French President to Morocco.

02:23His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Moulay al-Hassan, offered a dinner in honour of Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Mrs. Brigitte Macron.
02:37In the context of the impulse given to the national cause by His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, the official map of the Kingdom of Morocco,
02:44his Sahara was published on the official website of the Quai d'Orsay.
02:49This decision is part of the seal of the letter that French President Emmanuel Macron addressed to the sovereign,
02:55in which he stated that the present and the future of the Sahara are inscribed in the framework of Moroccan sovereignty,
03:02as well as head-to-head meetings that His Majesty the King had on Monday in Rabat with the French Chief of State.
03:16Speaking of which, Jean-Noël Barrault, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, confirmed the publication of the official map of Morocco on the website of the Quai d'Orsay.
03:28I suggest you listen to it.
03:31And we have joined the actions to the word.
03:33And I have the pleasure to announce to you that the map of Morocco has been updated and put online on the website of the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs an hour ago.
03:43Our operators and our companies will support the development of these territories through investments, sustainable and solidarity initiatives for the benefit of local populations.
03:53Our ambassador will go there next week.
03:56We will increase our consular and cultural action there in view of the creation of a French alliance.
04:03Several agreements have been concluded yesterday in Rabat between institutions and Moroccan and French entities,
04:10including public and private sectors, to further strengthen the partnership between Morocco and France in various sectors.
04:20Signed in the context of the entrepreneurial meeting Morocco-France,
04:25these agreements testify to the shared ambition of the two countries to pursue the consolidation of their solid partnership in strategic areas with sustainable cooperation and turn to the future.
04:39The institutional agreements include a protocol of agreement between the Moroccan Authority of the Capital Market and the Authority of Financial Markets,
04:47a letter of intent for a loan of 25 million euros from the French Development Agency to the region of Goulmim-Oued Noun to finance its regional development plan
04:58and another letter of intent for a support of 100 million euros from the AFT to the development plan of the Casablanca-Stade region in preparation for the 2030 World Cup.
05:12This meeting highlights a particular importance in the context of the state visit of French President Emmanuel Macron.
05:20We listen to this speech of Chakib Lallouche, President of the CGEM and Patrick Martin, President of the MEDEF.
05:28The entrepreneurial meeting that we have organized today has drawn a clear and ambitious roadmap on the future relationship that we want between the Moroccan economy and the French economy.
05:40We want a win-win relationship that is also renewed and that is win-win and green because we want to introduce a lot more decarbonization in our industry.
05:54Now this relationship must also take into account the extraordinary advances that our country has made in recent years thanks to the vision of His Majesty the King.
06:05As President of the MEDEF, the French equivalent of the CGEM, 200,000 companies, 10 million employees.
06:12I am absolutely satisfied because this forum is in a way dedicated to all the work that Moroccan and French companies have continued to do in recent years and recent months.
06:24But it is above all an extraordinary acceleration, there are many shared projects.
06:29So I am very happy that the patronage movements have contributed to the prosperity and friendship between our two great countries.
06:39Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Princess of Alhambra, President of the National Observatory of Children's Rights and Mrs. Brigitte Macron
06:46proceeded at the Abidjar El-Rifari College in Rabat at the launch of the campaign to fight school bullying and cyberbullying initiated by the UNDE.
06:59Under the sign of acting together, this campaign, led under the impulse of His Royal Highness the Princess of Alhambra,
07:08witnessed the determination of Morocco to protect its children from global school bullying, which requires the commitment of all.
07:19His Royal Highness the Princess of Alhambra, President of the Mohamed VI Foundation for Environmental Protection and Mrs. Brigitte Macron
07:35visited Rabat Botanical Garden on Tuesday.
07:39Upon arrival, Mrs. Macron was welcomed by His Royal Highness the Princess of Alhambra,
07:45before being interviewed by the auxiliary forces who gave the honours to this occasion.
07:52His Royal Highness and Mrs. Brigitte Macron followed a presentation of the various actions undertaken by the Mohamed VI Foundation for Environmental Protection.
08:02At the end of this visit, His Royal Highness the Princess of Alhambra and Mrs. Brigitte Macron posed for a souvenir photo.
08:15On the instructions of His Majesty the King Mohamed VI, His Royal Highness the Princess of Alhambra, accompanied by Mrs. Brigitte Macron,
08:25proceeded yesterday to the inauguration of the Rabat Royal Theatre,
08:30a structuring project that reinforces the ecosystem of the city of light, the cultural capital of Morocco.
08:38After unveiling the commemorative plaque of His Royal Highness the Princess of Alhambra,
08:44accompanied by Mrs. Brigitte Macron,
08:46followed by a presentation on the interior architecture of the Rabat Royal Theatre,
08:51before a tour of the various departments of the theatre,
08:56the result of a vision that illuminates this iconic building.
09:00This is a realization of the Royal High Request,
09:04constantly manifested towards art and culture.
09:17The Rabat Royal Theatre
09:22In the direction of the Middle East,
09:24nearly 100 people, including women and children, were killed in an Israeli strike in the Gaza Strip,
09:30local rescuers indicated.
09:32Most of the victims were women and children,
09:36without brancards.
09:38The bloody bodies extracted from the gigantic pile of concrete and concrete
09:43were transported to the main Israeli military support shelters.
09:48The United States said it had contacted its ally to ask for an account after this horrible strike,
09:54with horrible results.
09:56The Israeli army has been carrying out an offensive since October 6,
10:00in northern Gaza in particular, in Jabalia,
10:04where, according to it, Hamas is regrouping.
10:13In the news also, emergency services found several bodies in the Valence region,
10:18in eastern Spain, where torrential rains caused floods.
10:24This is what the head of the regional government announced.
10:27The authorities said on Tuesday that seven people were carried away,
10:33or a sudden flood sent the streets,
10:36cars were taken and buildings were flooded,
10:40according to images broadcast by Spanish television channels.
10:44The central government has set up a crisis cell
10:49that met for the first time on Tuesday evening
10:54and we saw in the Valence region an army unit specializing in rescue operations.
11:01The Valence City Hall announced that all schools would remain closed on Wednesday,
11:07as well as public gardens and that all sports events were canceled.
11:14In Senegal, the parties and coalitions are active to support the different figures.
11:28We read for the deputies, the women, as for them, call for the good progress of the campaign.
11:34This is a report by Sirmie Boukaka and Gernda.
11:37The electoral campaign for the legislatives of November 17 is in full swing.
11:43In Senegal, the women call for the good progress of this electoral campaign.
11:48Abidia Lou interpellates the populations.
11:51The message we want to send is that this violence must stop immediately.
11:56The campaign must continue through the debate on ideas,
12:00and through the discussions on programs and others.
12:04Not through violence.
12:05The young and the less young come back to reason.
12:08The young, we understand their madness, we understand their passion,
12:12but the adults have to interpellate them, call them to reason.
12:16Politics is reason, politics is analysis, politics is a debate on ideas.
12:21The country of the Teranga is entering a new phase of its electoral process
12:26with the anticipated legislative elections.
12:29However, this must be done in peace.
12:32That everyone is in peace, that the legislatives are doing very well,
12:37that the campaign is also going very well, but really in peace and calm.
12:41Because each political party also has the right to campaign
12:47and to say what it thinks and to carry out its program.
12:51Now, everything that is violence, it's really not worth it,
12:55because this Senegal is our Senegal.
12:57Let everyone vote according to their convictions, and that's it.
13:01We must elect the deputy that suits us.
13:04The electoral campaign will last 21 days,
13:07with 41 lists of coalitions and political parties
13:10seeking to convince voters.
13:12In this fight, women are not left out, but should take up more positions.
13:17The voice of their leader, yes, if they are in a political party,
13:20the party discipline wants them to carry the voice of their leader,
13:23but that does not prevent them from claiming the place that is theirs,
13:27which must come back to them.
13:29And we feel it in the debates, we feel it in the decisions, in the political opposition.
13:34We feel that women still assert themselves, and they must assert themselves.
13:38The official campaign for the legislatives has started on Sunday, October 27.
13:43The parties and coalitions will have until Friday, November 15, at midnight,
13:47to support the different lists for the deputies.
13:53And right away, the guest of the major media newspaper,
13:58warning on the second day of his state visit to Morocco,
14:04that His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the French President Emmanuel Macron,
14:09gave a speech in front of the two chambers of the Parliament.
14:13A remarkable speech, illustrating the depth and intensity
14:17of relations between France and Morocco.
14:21We will speak with Mohamed Haithami,
14:26President and Director General of the Le Matin group.
14:31Hello Mohamed Haithami, thank you for being with us.
14:37Hello and thank you for your invitation.
14:41So, in front of the members of the two chambers of the Parliament,
14:46the French President Emmanuel Macron gave a remarkable speech,
14:51illustrating the depth and intensity of relations between France and Morocco.
14:57What are the main points of this historic speech?
15:05So, Mr Macron actually gave two speeches.
15:08He gave a first one in front of the representatives of the nation,
15:11the two chambers together,
15:13but he also gave another speech in the entrepreneurial meetings.
15:17And allow me to link them together,
15:19because they summarize both the vision of France,
15:23of the geopolitics of the region,
15:27and also the different positions.
15:30So, for the speech that was given in front of the two chambers of the Parliament,
15:36we totally acted on the identities of points of view,
15:41the partnership of exceptions.
15:43Mr Macron said that when he had exchanged with His Majesty the King,
15:48His Majesty the King spoke of writing a new book.
15:51So, we are not writing a new page, but we are writing a new book.
15:54This means that we are aligned on all the important issues,
16:00including the Sahara issue,
16:02which has been more or less folded during this meeting,
16:06and we have now moved on to the active phase,
16:08that is, visits, meetings, investments.
16:12We must not forget that this partnership gave rise to the signing of a treaty
16:18that specifies the different stages and the roadmap
16:24with the commissions that will meet.
16:27It is an exceptional partnership,
16:29but also this meeting has, in my opinion,
16:35another much deeper characteristic.
16:41If you have followed Mr Macron's speech,
16:44he spoke of the next 25 years.
16:46We have overcome the question of territorial integrity.
16:49It is now acquired, it is installed,
16:51but Mr Macron spoke of the next 25 years.
16:54What does that mean?
16:55It means that the new geopolitics of the region will change,
16:58and it must change according to new developments,
17:03and it also takes into account the challenges that France has faced.
17:06Why did I speak of the second speech of the entrepreneurial meeting?
17:10Because this speech also explains the economic rationale.
17:14He speaks of prosperity.
17:16He spoke of something important.
17:19He spoke, for example, of...
17:21We went from made in Morocco to made with Morocco,
17:25and to conceived and made in Morocco,
17:29that is, manufactured in Morocco,
17:31manufactured with Morocco,
17:32and conceived and manufactured with Morocco.
17:34Mr Macron also summarized...
17:36Mr Aitami, you mentioned it, Emmanuel Macron,
17:41the French President reiterated the support of the French people
17:46to the sovereignty of Morocco on its Sahara,
17:50recalling that the 2007 autonomy solution under Moroccan sovereignty
17:55constitutes the only viable basis.
17:59What reading do you make of this position,
18:02a strong gesture that marks a turn in French diplomacy on this matter?
18:11Absolutely, I agree.
18:13And as I said, it's a...
18:17First, he described it as the solution, not a solution.
18:21He recalled all the terms.
18:23He also recalled that the future and the future of the Aryan provinces
18:28can only be situated within the framework of the autonomy proposed by Morocco.
18:32And Mr Macron went further.
18:34That is, he said that in international institutions,
18:38in the various forums,
18:41and in everything that is official,
18:43France will be on the side of Morocco.
18:45So it's a total and complete support.
18:50And we are projecting today,
18:52that's why I would like to insist on the fact that
18:55this question being addressed,
18:58there is something else.
19:00There is something else that is much more important.
19:02It's the different partnerships.
19:05And I think that Mr Macron spoke of issues that concern Europe
19:10and that Africa and Morocco are the real solution.
19:15Because in Mr Macron's speech,
19:17he spoke of the next 25 years,
19:19he spoke of tensions,
19:21of the American Sino, etc.
19:22He spoke of the place of Europe.
19:23And what I would like to say is that
19:25there is a paradigm shift.
19:27There is an alignment of France
19:31on the vision and perception of the problems of Africa
19:35and how they can be solved.
19:37I would like to remind you that before,
19:39the system was based on a military presence,
19:45on a sanctuarization of the different places
19:48where uranium and others are extracted,
19:52and a kind of sponsorship on these countries.
19:54These countries no longer want it.
19:56There was also the scandal of the neighbor of the East.
19:59And this ecosystem,
20:01this way of functioning, no longer works.
20:03The Sahel countries had a kind of second emancipation.
20:09And today, it is the Moroccan proposition,
20:12the value proposition,
20:13which says that the Sahel is not the problem,
20:15but it is also the solution.
20:17His Majesty the King spoke of the Atlantic Initiative,
20:20of de-enclavement.
20:21And it is this axis, Paris,
20:23probably Paris-Madrid-Casablanca,
20:25which will change the situation
20:27and which will force the necessary changes
20:29and which will create another 4.0 partnership,
20:32a partnership based on respect.
20:35Let's talk about the deep links
20:38between Morocco and France.
20:40The French president called for the abandonment
20:43of the foundations of an exceptional partnership
20:46for the decades to come.
20:50How do you explain this concept
20:53of an exceptional partnership?
20:57An exceptional partnership means
20:59that it is a partnership that meets
21:01the deep expectations of the two countries
21:03and that explores all the possibilities
21:07and potentials.
21:09And this is what we have done.
21:1122 agreements have been signed
21:13in areas as diverse as defense,
21:16green hydrogen, co-investments,
21:20food law, etc.
21:23And other agreements during entrepreneurial meetings
21:26have also been signed.
21:28Mr Macron, in his speech
21:30during the entrepreneurial meetings,
21:32spoke of challenges.
21:34The challenge of food sovereignty
21:36and Morocco is an important contributor.
21:38He spoke of the challenge
21:40of decarbonization and the environment
21:42and he explained how Morocco
21:44manages this situation
21:46and what the potentials are
21:48of green hydrogen.
21:50He also spoke of a number
21:52of other issues
21:54to which Morocco is totally associated.
21:57This community of destinies,
22:00that is, France,
22:02is saying
22:04we will link our destinies
22:06to Morocco and Africa.
22:08Because it is now that we understand
22:10that Africa can be
22:12the salvation of Europe
22:14if things are taken
22:16in the right direction and not in the wrong direction.
22:18This alignment
22:20on the vision of our country
22:22makes it a successful visit
22:24that will be, I would say,
22:26told
22:28in the history manuals.
22:30Because it is an important point of inflection
22:32and I think
22:34it is the real solution
22:36to the problem
22:38with the neighbors
22:40that
22:42will transcend
22:44the small calculations.
22:46Mr. Haithami,
22:48coming back to the
22:50positioning of
22:52France
22:54in relation to the issue of the Moroccan Sahara,
22:56the impact of this clear
22:58and unambiguous positioning
23:00on the question of the Moroccan Sahara,
23:02what do you think
23:04of the repercussions at the international level?
23:06Could this positioning
23:08reinforce the alliances
23:10within the international community
23:12in favor of the Moroccan cause?
23:14There is a direct effect.
23:16France is a member of the
23:18World Permanent Security Council
23:20that has the veto right
23:22and has always participated
23:24alongside the United States
23:26in the drafting of resolutions.
23:28This high and strong support
23:30on the eve of the vote
23:32of the Security Council
23:34could not have been better.
23:36In addition,
23:38as a colonial occupying force
23:40in time,
23:42when it moves away
23:44from the life of Morocco,
23:46it is the way of legality.
23:48There is a training effect
23:50on this side.
23:52Other countries
23:54that today are a little bit
23:56nervous
23:58will also launch.
24:00It is an undisputed
24:02diplomatic victory.
24:04For example,
24:06a few days ago,
24:08a Latin American country
24:10gave its recognition
24:12to the so-called RASD
24:14which is reduced
24:16like a pot of chagrin.
24:18Today, we are in a logic,
24:20in a kind of torrent
24:22that will bring
24:24and train
24:26the rest.
24:28I think
24:30this question
24:32will make us leave
24:34a little bit of the past.
24:36That's why I insist
24:38that we can talk about
24:40all this recognition,
24:42in addition to that of Madrid.
24:44We must not forget it.
24:46Mr. Mohamed Haithamich,
24:48we unfortunately come
24:50to the end of our section.
24:52Thank you for this enlightenment.
24:54I remind you that you are
24:56President and General Director
24:58of the Le Matin group.
25:00Thank you very much.
25:02This is how
25:04this edition ends.
25:06Thank you for following it.
25:08Stay with us.
25:10The information continues
25:12on Les Gares des Princes.
