00:00Welcome to Mediamore News, here are the headlines.
00:23In Spain, devastating floods have killed at least 95 people from Tuesday to Wednesday.
00:31The government declared a three-day national mourning in the evening,
00:37when the inspection by the rescuers of the inhabited areas was completed.
00:42In the Middle East, Hezbollah's new leader, Naim Qassem,
00:49said on Wednesday that the Lebanese movement could continue to fight Israel,
00:54despite the blows it has received, while saying it would cease fire on condition.
01:00And the military operation launched by the Chadian army after a murderous attack
01:09by Boko Haram on a military base in the Lakh Chad region,
01:13aims to destroy the terrorist group's ability to harm.
01:18This is what the Chadian Prime Minister said yesterday.
01:32We open this newspaper with this royal message,
01:36a message of condolence and compassion that His Majesty, King Mohammed VI,
01:40addressed to the King of Spain, Philip VI, and Queen Letizia,
01:45following the deadly floods that occurred in the Valence region.
01:51In this message, King Mohammed VI claims to have learned with deep emotion this sad news.
02:01The sovereign also addressed a message of condolence to the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez,
02:09following this natural disaster.
02:16Following the floods that devastated several regions of Spain,
02:19His Majesty, King Mohammed VI, gave his very high instructions to the Minister of the Interior
02:24to speak on the phone with his Spanish counterpart.
02:27In the course of this interview, Morocco said it was ready to dispatch rescue teams
02:32and provide all the necessary aid to Spain to face this natural disaster.
02:42Spain, which is seriously affected by devastating floods,
02:47floods that cost at least 95 lives in the southeast of Spain,
02:54the night from Tuesday to Wednesday,
02:56while the inspection by the rescuers of the inhabited areas was completed in the evening.
03:01The last provisional report states that in 1992,
03:05in the only region of Valence, the hardest hit,
03:09two other deaths were recorded in the neighboring region of Castilla Mancha,
03:14a third in Andalusia, according to the authorities.
03:18The president of the Valence region, Carlos Monzon,
03:21indicated last night that emergency services had carried out 200 ground rescue operations
03:28and 70 aerial operations with helicopters,
03:32and that there were no more survivors to be recovered on the roofs or roofs.
03:37The government has decreed a national mourning of three days from this Thursday,
03:42the day when Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez plans to go into more detail with Soheil Jalil.
03:52The Valence region is plagued by torrential rains.
03:57Dozens of victims have disappeared, including two civil guards,
04:01in this episode of violent rain that affects several regions of Valence
04:05and causes train and road closures, as well as significant damage to homes.
04:09The king of Spain, Felipe VI, said he was devastated by the assessment of these floods
04:14that ravaged the southeast of the country.
04:18I want to publicly express my sadness and my concern
04:24about the tragedy that occurred last night,
04:27which is still taking place in large regions of the country,
04:30in particular in Valence, Castilla Mancha and Andalusia.
04:33I am reassured to know that all resources are deployed.
04:36The important thing is to let them work, to let them do what they know how to do.
04:41And in Andalusia.
04:44The most dramatic floods in Spain since August 1996,
04:48at a time when authorities asked all the inhabitants of the region
04:51not to try to move by road.
04:54Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez assured his compatriots of the total support of the state,
04:59but warned that this devastating episode was perhaps not over.
05:05Our absolute priority is to help you.
05:08Public authorities work in a coordinated manner to make this possible.
05:11We will make available everything we need,
05:14as long as it takes, to get us out of this tragedy.
05:17You will not be left behind.
05:20We will not leave you alone.
05:23Following these floods, His Majesty King Mohammed VI
05:26gave these very high instructions to the Minister of the Interior
05:29in order to speak on the phone with his Spanish counterpart.
05:32A meeting to signify the disposition of the kingdom
05:35to dispatch rescue teams and provide all the aid necessary to Spain
05:38to face this natural disaster.
05:41Even if there are no bells on the part of the European Union,
05:44which is also ready to help Spain,
05:47faced with a dramatic situation,
05:50emphasized the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen,
05:53recalling that the region of Valencia and the Spanish Mediterranean coast in general
05:56regularly suffer in the fall the meteorological phenomenon of the Gota Fría,
05:59the cold drop, an isolated depression,
06:02which causes sudden and extremely violent rains,
06:05sometimes for several days.
06:08In the news, the new leader of Hezbollah,
06:11Naïm Kassem, said on Wednesday
06:14that the Lebanese movement could continue to fight Israel
06:17despite the blows it received
06:20ten years after a ceasefire under Israeli conditions.
06:23Israel has been at war since September
06:26against Hezbollah, multiplying the bombardments
06:30on the heads of the movement in Lebanon, in the east and south of the country.
06:33According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health,
06:3611 people were killed in Israeli air raids in the village of Sormor
06:39and 19 others, including 8 women,
06:42in Israeli strikes in the Baalabak region.
06:45A strike near Nabatiyah killed, according to the Israeli army,
06:48the number 2 of the Erdogan unit,
06:51the elite force of Hezbollah.
06:54Mustafa Ahmed Shahadi, in his first speech since his nomination
06:58on Tuesday, Naïm Kassem committed to pursue
07:01the war plan prepared by his predecessor
07:04and stated that Hezbollah had begun to recover
07:07after the painful blows carried by Israel.
07:14We continue this news with the launch of the 7th edition
07:17of the International Space and Aeronautics Salon
07:20Marrakech Airshow 2024,
07:23one of the most important aeronautical events
07:26in Africa.
07:29It was given yesterday at the Royal Air Force Base
07:32in the city of Aukre.
07:35The opening ceremony of this event
07:38is placed under the patronage of His Majesty
07:41the King Mohammed VI,
07:44jointly organized by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce
07:47and the National Defense Administration.
07:50The MEDS, subsidiary of the CDG,
07:53are the guests of honor
07:56but highlight the growing importance
07:59of Morocco on the world aeronautical scene.
08:02This international event, which brings together
08:05the leaders of the sector on major issues,
08:08is both a showcase of the latest innovations
08:11of the sector and a meeting platform
08:14for professionals looking for business opportunities.
08:17Let's listen to Hamid Ben Brahim Al-Andaloussi,
08:20This contract is also strategic
08:23and structuring for Morocco
08:26because it allows us to have
08:29new perspectives of development
08:32in another field
08:35which is what we call
08:38the aeronautical services.
08:41Aeronautical services are maintenance,
08:44repair of planes, engines,
08:47major visits,
08:50the transformation, modification of planes,
08:53the passage of passenger planes, freight planes,
08:56and this sector of aeronautical services
08:59represents a considerable amount
09:02of 4 billion dollars
09:05in which we still have a long way to go.
09:08At the end of the visit of French President
09:11Emmanuel Macron to Morocco,
09:14before taking the plane to Paris,
09:17the French President gave a media interview
09:20and a second, an interview during which
09:23several topics were addressed.
09:26An interview that focused
09:29on the strengthening of relations between
09:32Morocco and France after the Paris recognition
09:35of the full sovereignty of the Kingdom on its media Sahara
09:38was represented by its journalist Mounia Blarbi.
09:45How does France intend to strengthen
09:48and strengthen its recognition of the full sovereignty
09:51of Morocco on its Sahara?
09:54Let's listen to the answer of French President Emmanuel Macron
09:57in this excerpt of this interview.
10:00It is first to translate it by engaging
10:03resolutely, diplomatically with Morocco
10:06so that the present and future of the southern provinces
10:09are part of Moroccan sovereignty.
10:12It is also to make other Europeans move
10:15and start to reflect on their choices
10:18and try to get involved so that this work can move forward
10:21within the framework agreed by the United Nations
10:24and that this movement can take place.
10:27I think it is really an important movement
10:30on a diplomatic level, obviously for Morocco,
10:33for our bilateral relationship, but for the whole region.
10:36And that's why I wanted to say it yesterday
10:39that this is a decision that France makes,
10:42not against anyone, but it must help
10:45a better regional integration, a better stabilization
10:48of the Sahara and from there also of the Sahel.
10:51And this whole region needs stability, commitment,
10:54seriousness, strength and confidence
10:57that Morocco has had in these southern provinces
11:00during all these years, where you have invested a lot.
11:03The choice of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI
11:06is to strengthen infrastructures, projects
11:09and to stabilize this region in terms of security.
11:12And I think the neighbors are aware of this
11:15and I would like it to be done in a pacified framework.
11:18So it is first of all an international diplomatic commitment,
11:21it is the conviction that there can be a sustainable solution
11:24that soothes the whole region and thus the African continent.
11:27And then it is a concrete commitment, I said it,
11:30since at the same time the French Development Agency
11:33will not only continue, but invest even more
11:36in the southern provinces for important projects
11:39that will benefit the populations.
11:42And so it is also a choice of the future.
11:45And these are projects that are important for desalination,
11:48for infrastructure development, for ports,
11:51for energy development.
11:54A very large project, for example,
11:57for the production of green fuel.
12:00These are very concrete things.
12:03Let's go to the United States, where in a few days
12:06we are separated from the presidential election.
12:20More than 57 million American voters have already voted.
12:23This exceptional anticipated participation
12:26for the American election feeds the hopes
12:29of both sides, even if they remain difficult to interpret.
12:32While the polls always give the two candidates
12:35in a five-day handkerchief pocket
12:38of the Democrat scrutin as a Republican,
12:41voters keep calling to go to the polls
12:44as quickly as possible.
12:47Even if on the subject, the candidate Donald Trump
12:50sent contradictory messages on the Democrats' side.
12:53President Joe Biden, Tim Walz,
12:56and former President Barack Obama.
12:59Their votes are anticipated.
13:02Let's call the voters to do the same.
13:05It is now the equivalent of a third
13:08of the total voters of the 2020 election
13:11who have already expressed themselves in Georgia.
13:14More than 3 million people have voted,
13:17or 45% of voters registered.
13:20A situation that we find in several other swing states.
13:23These are the decisive states for the final victory,
13:26such as North Carolina.
13:40The military operation launched by the Chadian army
13:43after a murderous attack on a military base
13:46in the Lakhchad region in Boko Haram aims
13:49to destroy the terrorist group's ability to harm.
13:52This is what Prime Minister Abdelrahim Birem Hamid
13:55said yesterday.
13:58The surprise assault took place on Sunday night
14:01against a military base on the island of Barkharam.
14:04Forty people were killed
14:07and 37 injured in the vital prognosis.
14:10It is not committed, he said,
14:13during a press conference at N'Djamena,
14:16purely military and security.
14:20Monday's repost does not only aim
14:23to secure our peaceful population.
14:26It is a question of tracking down and destroying
14:29the ability to harm Boko Haram and its affiliates.
14:32Did he add his details on the forces mobilized
14:35on the ground on his side?
14:38The head of diplomacy, Abdelrahman Koulamala,
14:41renewed Wednesday the call launched by his country
14:44to the international community for increased support
14:48for the terrorist fighters.
14:51Abidjan launch of the Architecture and Building Salon.
14:54The 10th edition of the Architecture and Building Salon
14:57Archibat 2025 was launched on Tuesday in Abidjan.
15:00This 10th edition,
15:03scheduled for 8 to 12 April 2025,
15:06is intended as an exchange framework
15:09for the renaissance of African cities
15:12according to international standards
15:15and local socio-economic realities.
15:18This is a report by Mel Bershel and Wilfred Merongia.
15:21The collapse of buildings,
15:24flooding, population depletion,
15:27demolition of precarious neighborhoods.
15:30These realities, which impact the daily lives
15:33of many inhabitants of the district of Abidjan,
15:36underline the urgency of a rethought architecture and urbanism.
15:39Faced with these major challenges,
15:42Abidjan is committed to transforming urban infrastructures
15:45to guarantee a secure and resilient habitat.
15:48It is in this context that the 10th edition
15:51of the Architecture and Building Salon Archibat 2025
15:54will be held, officially launched in Abidjan,
15:57which, according to the Commissioner General,
16:00marks the beginning of a new era.
16:03We will have to put in place a hard marketing strategy
16:06allowing market players to meet
16:09in a networking cocktail,
16:12a country day, a professional day,
16:15a strategic guest from the sub-region or beyond.
16:18This strategy, of course, is an opportunity
16:21for local players to forge partnerships
16:24with representatives both in the Ivory Coast
16:27and in the sub-region,
16:30thus taking advantage of the sub-regional position
16:33that our country represents.
16:36Archibat, for a decade, has brought together
16:39the players of the sector to think about
16:42and build a sustainable urban avenue.
16:45The 10th edition, launched under the theme
16:48Architecture and Urban Renewal,
16:51with a particular emphasis on the transformation
16:54of Ivorian cities.
16:57It is about bringing the population to see
17:00the role of architects, the role of urbanists,
17:03and the role of urban renewal.
17:06This is the basis on which we will think and exchange
17:09with the Ivorian experiences,
17:12but also with the experiences around the world.
17:15We believe that there is material to share
17:18these different experiences for the future of our cities.
17:21Archibat 2025 is a platform of solutions
17:24that, beyond construction, aims to reinvent
17:27Ivorian urbanism to make it a model
17:30of sustainability and security.
17:33And now, let's move on to the African Ebdo.
17:36Our Ebdo-Madeira meeting is in partnership
17:39with the Timbuktu Institute.
17:42Every week, we receive experts on strategic issues
17:45for the African continent.
17:48Strategic dialogue, innovation of Interpol,
17:51this is what we are going to talk about today
17:54with Dr. Bakari Samb,
17:57Regional Director of the Timbuktu Institute.
18:00Hello, Dr. Bakari Samb,
18:03and thank you for being with us.
18:10So, Dr. Bakari Samb,
18:13you participated last week
18:16at the 17th edition of the Strategic Dialogues
18:19organized by the Policy Center for the New South,
18:22which is led by
18:26Professor Karim Lainawi,
18:29and the HEC Centre for Paris Geopolitics,
18:32led by Professor Pascal Chéniot.
18:35You estimate that the Policy Center
18:38has shown innovation,
18:41especially in the choice of topics.
18:44Can you come back to these aspects
18:47that have marked the 2024 edition?
18:55Dr. Bakari Samb,
18:58can you hear me?
19:01Yes, can you hear me?
19:04Yes, I can hear you better now.
19:07Very well.
19:10So, in this edition,
19:13there was a fairly important choice of topics
19:16on behalf of Europe, on behalf of the New International South,
19:19and in the context of the dialogue with Africa.
19:22After meeting the opinions of researchers
19:25from the Western world,
19:28from France and other European countries,
19:31with African researchers,
19:34the Policy Center has innovated in the context of this Strategic Dialogue
19:37by adopting an attitude, at least a methodology,
19:40that leads to a concerted reflection on the problems
19:43that impact the two geographic parts.
19:46And I think that today, in the context of President Macron's visit,
19:49but also the renewed relations
19:52between Africa and Europe,
19:55there has been innovation in these thematic choices.
19:58And now, I think that this has been something
20:01that has allowed a strategic thought to emerge,
20:04but with cross-opinions,
20:07a cross-analysis between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
20:10Very well.
20:13You estimate, I quote you,
20:16that this year,
20:19the promotion of a dialogue on the South-North
20:22through major themes for the future
20:25of relations between Africa and Europe.
20:28What should be heard by this observation on your part,
20:31especially in connection with the conclusive remarks
20:34of Professor Karim El-Henri?
20:37Yes, absolutely.
20:40If in the context of this Strategic Dialogue
20:43the question of Europe is addressed,
20:46and to see if the solutions,
20:49in any case the positions and the evolutions of Europe
20:52are still in phase with the current world order,
20:55on the issue of new technologies,
20:58the major challenges of Europe, etc.,
21:01precisely to supplement this strategic thought,
21:04during his conclusive remarks,
21:07Professor Einar came back to the importance
21:10of the Strategic Dialogue on major issues
21:13that concern our collective security.
21:16And I think that, from this point of view,
21:19there is an innovation to be saluted.
21:22But also, it positions Morocco on the threshold
21:25of strategic thought,
21:28always being this state that knows how to converge ideas,
21:31but also to have the two parties dialogue
21:34around the Mediterranean.
21:37And we have been talking for a long time
21:40about this possibility of dialogue that is already open
21:43and that offers the two continents
21:46the possibility to see together,
21:49further on the perspectives,
21:52but also the questions of major interest
21:55and the questions of common interest.
21:58We will have noticed it during this edition
22:01of the Strategic Dialogue.
22:05And you have also moderated the panel
22:08on the issues of relations between the CEDAO and the EES.
22:11What could be the lessons learned from this panel?
22:17Yes, a very enriching panel.
22:20Also, we applied the same concept of strategic dialogue
22:23between the two, between the two shores of the Mediterranean.
22:26And I think that, with the participation of prominent professors
22:29like Abdelhak Bassou, with Khaled Chegraoui,
22:33and also researchers from HEC Géopolitique,
22:38we were able to reflect together
22:41on the current developments
22:44and how these developments will impact
22:47sub-regional security.
22:50Earlier, we realized that,
22:53in the words of President Macron,
22:56already in the interview given to your channel,
22:59the full involvement of Morocco in this strategic dialogue
23:02and the involvement of Morocco
23:05and the stabilization
23:08of the southern provinces of Morocco
23:11was part of the whole scheme of stabilization of the region.
23:14In a way, we are in a logic of collective security
23:17where what is happening in the Maghreb
23:20has a strong impact on the Sahel.
23:23And I believe that it is in this perspective
23:26that the question of AIS and CDAO is raised,
23:29which concerns precisely the question of the security architecture.
23:32Dr. Bakarissambe, we are coming to the end of this section.
23:35Thank you for answering our questions.
23:38I remind you that you are the Regional Director of the Timbuktu Institute.
23:41Thank you for your kind invitation.
23:44This is the end of this edition.
23:47Thank you for following it.
23:50Stay with us.
23:53See you later.
