00:00Good evening and welcome to Medea TV, thank you for joining us for a new newscast, here are the headlines.
00:21A crisis of medical faculties in Morocco, the mediation institution of the kingdom announced that a proposal of the Ministry of Higher Education has been favorably accepted by the students.
00:33The future Trump government feeds on significant speculation after its triumphant return, the support of the 47th American president could soon make his entrance to the White House, details right away.
00:46On the Gaza Strip, Israel must reopen a new checkpoint, announced by the spokesman of the US Department a few days after the expiration of an ultimatum on increasing humanitarian aid to Palestine.
01:00It is now a fact, medical students and pharmacies cease their strike movement, an agreement has been reached with the Ministry of Higher Education and the Ministry of Health, thanks to a mediation led by the institution of the mediator.
01:15The students approved this proposal after a day of voting with more than 57% of votes in favor, the explanations with Younes Benzine.
01:24After 11 months of mobilization, medical students and Moroccan pharmacies suspended their strike, following the signing of an agreement with the Ministry of Higher Education and the Ministry of Health.
01:40Validated during discussions at the seat of the institution of the mediator, the agreement represents a response to the main student claims.
01:50Today is an exceptional day that marks the return of students on the benches of the faculty, after the signing of an agreement with the Ministry of Higher Education and the Ministry of Health and the institution of the mediator.
02:11We are very proud of this achievement, which gives value to the public faculty.
02:18This approach will allow us as future health professionals to contribute to the implementation of the royal construction related to the reform of the national health system.
02:31The heart of this agreement rests on a decision of the Ministry of Higher Education, aiming not to apply the new regulation to the four promotions from the second to the fifth year.
02:45Students concerned will be able to continue their training according to the old rules, with the possibility of conducting clinical internships three months before the support of their thesis.
02:56This result reflects the joint efforts deployed by all parties concerned and translates the fructuous coordination between the institution and the rest of the stakeholders.
03:10With the teaching staff and the Ministry of Health, we have managed to create a climate conducive to dialogue and favorable to the establishment of trust.
03:22The new regulation also introduces a reorganization of the sixth year for the subsequent promotions, which will now be extended to 44 weeks.
03:33The agreement also includes a commitment from the government to lift all disciplinary sanctions imposed on students.
03:41The royal speech of His Majesty the King Mohammed X, on the occasion of the 49th anniversary of the Green March, highlighted several significant initiatives for Moroccans living abroad.
03:52These are key players that could contribute to the development of Morocco.
03:59Moroccans living abroad represent a real engine of development for the Kingdom.
04:04Their commitment to their identity, their support for investment and their promotion of the image of Morocco internationally, in short, their patriotism, was saluted by the sovereign in his last speech, qualifying them as ambassadors and key players.
04:20There is a palpable evolution that goes hand in hand with the dynamics of Morocco in all areas.
04:27The novelty today, following the royal speech of the Green March, is the restructuring of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad and the creation of the Mohamedia Foundation for Moroccans Living Abroad.
04:39The first is a constitutional institution and must be a force of proposals, and the second will study and apply these proposals.
04:49The Moroccans of the world represent about 15% of the total number of citizens and contribute to more than 8% of gross domestic product.
05:01The State attaches great importance to encouraging their investment in their country through a global and integrated policy that provides support mechanisms and improves communication with project leaders.
05:14We are trying to organize a set of activities and initiatives that concern Moroccans living abroad.
05:23We are also participating in the creation of cultural and identity bonds among the sons and daughters of Moroccans living abroad, in order to allow them to know more broadly their cultural heritage and preserve it.
05:36Our role is also to support and guide Moroccans living abroad who want to invest in Morocco, and this by facilitating their administrative procedures and access to service establishments.
05:51With the recently announced reforms, the impact of Moroccans living abroad will be strengthened, both economically, socially and culturally.
06:00These new measures aim to optimize their contributions while improving their experience and interaction with their country of origin.
06:11On the occasion of the 49th anniversary of the victorious Marche Verte, the occasion at the Maison de la Diaspora, organized yesterday in Casablanca, a meeting to facilitate links between Moroccans of the world and their compatriots.
06:23Back on these meetings with Jamel Belahresh and Nabil Brouz.
06:28Today, on the 7th of November, we gather all the members of the diaspora who have returned to Morocco for some time, either in a very short way or for a very long time.
06:37The objective is the second edition. Last year, we organized a garden party to be able to bring together all these people so that they can get to know each other,
06:45do networking, of course, learn to live together, and above all, try to see how we can build a roadmap in the coming months.
06:53And this event today is very, very good because the theme that we have suggested is the desire of Morocco or the desire of the diaspora.
07:01And in fact, the very powerful response that was given by His Majesty yesterday during the speech resonates quite well with the event tonight.
07:09And we are quite happy that from now on, there will be a real roadmap with two institutions that will manage the diaspora around the world.
07:16And tonight, we will have more than 220 people who have registered, which is relatively important.
07:22And the idea is to meet this diaspora, to talk to her and to listen to her expectations once she is in Morocco to accompany her, to help her to integrate and at the same time to invest as we planned to do.
07:34And at the end of this first sequence, we will then work on a roadmap with the entire diaspora in Morocco.
07:40The purpose of this meeting today is to be able to consolidate the bridge that can exist between the Moroccans of the world and our country.
07:48Since the speech of His Majesty and his desire to support our Moroccan identity, it seems important to us today to really create this vector and this link between this community abroad and that of the country.
07:58The Moroccan population is now estimated at more than 36,800,000 inhabitants, an increase of nearly 3 million since 2014, which represents an evolution of 8% in 10 years.
08:09According to the figures of the latest census of the population, the number of households has also recorded an increase of nearly 2 million to reach 9,275,000.
08:18For foreign residents in Morocco, their total number is more than 140,000, an increase of 71%.
08:28What do you think of the results of the general census of the population? I propose to listen to Ahmed Azerar, economist and research director at the Moroccan Institute of Strategic Intelligence.
08:40It is quite natural. It is the conjunction of a set of factors,
08:47including, of course, the decrease in fertility, the delay in marriages, migration, the change of social habits,
09:02the change of family background, since the large family no longer exists, the nuclear family, urbanization,
09:17and families have realized the importance of educating well, of spending on children.
09:28All this, of course, has caused the rate of demographic growth to fall.
09:39It is a natural evolution. It is an evolution that is being verified around the world, of course,
09:47because there is also the education of women, the work of women.
09:56All this, of course, is the result of these factors and their conjunction.
10:05With the evolution of time, of course, the rate of demographic growth has fallen.
10:11Is this good for the country? That is another question.
10:17The future Trump government feeds on significant speculation after its triumphant return.
10:23Its most fierce supports could well make their way into the White House.
10:27Donald Trump's transition team wants to present a first list of ministers and advisers in the days and weeks to come.
10:34Donald Trump has already proceeded yesterday to nominate Susie Wise, who becomes head of cabinet.
10:39The name of Richard Grenell has been circulating for months for the post of Secretary of State.
10:43To lead the Pentagon, Mike Pompeo, former head of diplomacy of Donald Trump and ex-director of the CIA, could be chosen.
10:50The CIA's direction could be to return to former Texas Senator John Ratcliffe.
10:55The position of a great Argentine could be disputed between two billionaires,
10:59investment fund boss Scott Benson in conjunction with John Paulson.
11:03Elon Musk, meanwhile, the richest man in the world, has invested more than 100 million dollars in this presidential campaign.
11:09The latter could, in turn, be in charge of deeply reorganizing the federal administration.
11:15Robert Kennedy Jr. could, meanwhile, be responsible for public health policies.
11:22The Hungarian Prime Minister urges Europeans to recognize the new situation created by Donald Trump's election
11:28by accepting to go from war to peace in Ukraine.
11:31The situation on the battlefield is obvious.
11:34It is a military defeat for Ukraine, said Viktor Orban.
11:36Several European leaders are not ready to give up their support
11:41at the moment when Vladimir Zelensky denounces as suicidal any concession to Russia.
11:46European officials are also convened to maintain their support in order to fail Russia.
11:51But for the Hungarian Prime Minister, the European front is now cracked.
11:58What could be the consequences of Donald Trump's victory over the wars in the Middle East?
12:03Listen to the analysis of Zakaria Boudahab.
12:06I think that Mr. Donald Trump, before he was elected last Tuesday,
12:13of course, had asked for a cessation of this conflict.
12:18Because this conflict has shock waves, not only at the level of the Middle East, but beyond.
12:24And here we can say that it is in his interest to stabilize the situation.
12:29We know very well that he has particular relations with Mr. Netanyahu,
12:33whom he met a few months ago.
12:37But at the same time, the situation today is much more complex.
12:42With the entry into action of Hezbollah, of course,
12:48consecutively, of course, to the amplification of the situation in the Gaza Strip.
12:55And also the entry of another actor on stage, it is Iran.
12:59With the Houthis, with also by extension the involvement of actors
13:04who are not well identified, whether in Syria or in Iraq.
13:09It is therefore certainly today, not of duty, but I would say of the responsibility
13:15of the President of the United States to contribute, as it was the case historically,
13:20to do something to stabilize the situation.
13:23It will not be difficult, but I believe, according to my own analysis,
13:28that the interest of Mr. Donald Trump, once officially installed
13:32at the White House on January 20, 2025, should, in a very energetic way,
13:37stabilize the situation, unless there is a ceasefire,
13:41and then examine all possible scenarios to engage in a dialogue
13:46between Palestinians and Israelis, and achieve this goal,
13:50especially by the Arab League, to create two states side by side,
13:54a Palestinian state and an Israeli state.
13:57A few days after the expiration of an ultimatum from the United States
14:01on the increase of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians,
14:04Israel will open a new checkpoint in the Gaza Strip,
14:07announced by the US spokesman Matthew Miller in a letter.
14:11The United States had announced a series of requirements,
14:14had given a delay of 30 days to Israel to allow the increase of humanitarian aid,
14:18without which the United States threatened to suspend part of their military aid.
14:23From November 2023 to April 2024,
14:27nearly 70% of the victims in the Gaza Strip were women and children.
14:31The UN announces these new figures after a thorough but partial
14:35count of the victims of the Israeli bombings.
14:38The new UN High Commissioner for Human Rights report
14:41details a wide range of violations of international law,
14:44which could be assimilated with war crimes, crimes against humanity,
14:47and even a genocide.
14:48The proportion of women and children killed
14:51indicates a systematic violation of the fundamental principles
14:54of international humanitarian law,
14:56including the distinction and proportionality of deaths.
14:593,588 were children and 2,036 were women.
15:07Faced with growing pressure,
15:09the German Chancellor declared himself open this Friday
15:12to discussions to accelerate the holding of the elections anticipated in Germany.
15:15After the fall of the governmental coalition,
15:18this is the first time that Olaf Scholz has spoken on the subject
15:21since the announcement of the resignation of the Minister of Finance, Christian Lindler,
15:24due to profound disagreements on economic policy.
15:27Anticipated legislations could not take place before March,
15:30but calls are multiplying
15:32for them to be held earlier, if possible, in January.
15:37In Tunisia, the project of financial laws currently in discussion
15:40in parliament is at the heart of a controversy.
15:43The PLF 2025 envisages an increase in the tax on the income of Tunisians
15:46who have a high income,
15:49and businesses that generate significant profits.
15:52Explanations with Najwa Bechat.
15:56Tunisia, which has experienced an economic crisis for years,
15:59continues its austerity policy.
16:01In 2025, the state budget will see an increase in internal loans,
16:05while external loans will decrease
16:08by 77.8 billion dinars for 2024.
16:12The state budget for 2025
16:13will be 63 billion dinars,
16:16according to the 2025 financial law project,
16:19which reveals a financial situation characterized
16:22by an expected deficit of 9.8 billion dinars.
16:26For the government, bold reforms
16:29and strict management are necessary
16:32to reduce this deficit.
16:35It is clear that the state is moving towards more austerity,
16:39especially in terms of revenues,
16:41which will increase by 1 billion dinars,
16:45and thus the deficit will be 9.8 billion dinars.
16:50The hypotheses on which the budget rests
16:53indicate that the expected growth rate will increase,
16:56but reality confirms the opposite.
16:59It is difficult to reach a high growth rate at the moment.
17:04The state budget project has raised several criticisms,
17:07starting with the General Medicine Union,
17:10which called on representatives of the people
17:13not to take measures that would affect
17:16the purchasing power of its members,
17:18underlining that the sector is already complaining
17:21about the migration of doctors.
17:23The Executive Office of the General Association of Banks
17:26also expressed its refusal to increase
17:29income tax rates,
17:31which will reach 40%
17:33as part of the 2025 financial law project.
17:37Unfortunately, we have seen that the financial law
17:40relies on DIY measures
17:43to try to find resources,
17:46through increasing taxes,
17:49which raises the question of financial stability.
17:52From a political point of view,
17:55we can say that the current Parliament's composition
17:59cannot lead to changes
18:02in the general characteristics of the financial law,
18:04given that these general balances
18:07are part of the political vision
18:10of the Presidency of the Republic.
18:12It is difficult for MPs to adopt a policy
18:15that contradicts the Presidency's policy.
18:18According to some estimates,
18:21Tunisia's internal debt will double almost in 2025
18:25due to its persistent inability to obtain
18:28sufficient external financing.
18:31It will depend on tax revenues
18:34of around 90% of budgetary resources,
18:38with an expected amount of
18:4145.249 billion dinars.
18:47A coup d'envoi to Gabon of the electoral campaign
18:50for the constitutional referendum in Libreville.
18:52The National Coordination for the Oui
18:54met for campaign instructions.
18:56The details with Kevin Oswald-Kudukova.
18:59In this very humble room,
19:01the Oui's supporters are gathered around
19:04the Prime Minister of the Transition,
19:06National Coordinator of the Constitutional Referendum.
19:09For ten days of campaign,
19:12the Gabonese authorities will try to convince the Gabonese
19:15to approve the project of a new constitution.
19:18What I invite everyone to do
19:21is two things, only two.
19:24To go in contact with others
19:27and tell them that they must participate in the vote.
19:29That is to say that no one should consider
19:32that this text does not concern them.
19:35Each of us, all of us, are concerned.
19:38In one way or another.
19:40This referendum is the first electoral meeting
19:43for the military in power.
19:45It will be a question for the Oui's supporters
19:47to explain to the Gabonese
19:49the issues of this new constitution.
19:51We started with a constitution from 1991
19:54to a new constitution in 2023
19:58and the constitution of 2023,
20:01I remind you,
20:03has made the object of modification
20:06in the middle of the year 2023,
20:08even though we were in the middle of the election.
20:10The constitution project
20:12does not make the unanimity within the Gabonese.
20:14Some political parties call for voting no
20:17to this referendum supposed to rebuild
20:19the new state of Gabon.
20:21Let us clarify that the government has authorized
20:23international observers
20:25to observe this scrutiny.
20:27In Côte d'Ivoire,
20:29financing remains a major challenge
20:31for many entrepreneurs.
20:33Yves Guilda, director of a fast-food startup
20:35wishes to expand his business
20:37but struggles to find funds.
20:39A problem on which the 10th edition
20:41of the National Promotional Days
20:43of small and medium-sized companies
20:45is leaning.
20:47Mel Bershel and Herman Doggo for the report.
20:49For Yves Guilda,
20:51developing his startup represents
20:53an opportunity for growth
20:54and a lack of investment
20:56to realize his projects.
20:58In our activity funds,
21:00we also have development projects
21:02in our activity sector
21:04but for which we are always faced
21:06with this situation of financing
21:08in Côte d'Ivoire.
21:10So we knock on doors of banks
21:12but we generally come back
21:14to the question of guarantees
21:16that we do not have.
21:18The 10th edition of the National Promotional Days
21:20of SMEs, JNPPME,
21:22organized in Abidjan
21:24has precisely chosen
21:26to focus on innovative financing solutions
21:28for SMEs.
21:30The theme of this 2024 edition
21:32is Alternative Financing,
21:34the axis of stimulation of development
21:36and performance of SMEs
21:38has aroused the attention
21:40of a large number of business promoters
21:42often confronted with the limits
21:44of traditional banking credit.
21:46The main objective is to highlight
21:48the solutions offered
21:50by this type of financing
21:52such as crowdfunding,
21:54crowdfunding,
21:56capital risk,
21:58capital investment,
22:00business angle and so on.
22:02And this as an undeniable opportunity
22:04for the development
22:06and performance of SMEs.
22:08JNPPMEs have also become
22:10a platform for exchange
22:12and partnership,
22:14bringing together financial experts,
22:16entrepreneurs
22:18and decision-makers
22:20around financing modes
22:21of growth of more than 7%,
22:23new trades are created,
22:25even today in the cultural
22:27and creative industry,
22:29etc.
22:31Every day there are new opportunities
22:33but these economic operators
22:35need to be accompanied.
22:37And so we ask the banks
22:39and all other actors
22:41of the ecosystem
22:43to continue to make efforts
22:45because the State considers SMEs
22:47as the real engine of our growth.
22:49For entrepreneurs like Yves Guilla,
22:51JNPPME represents
22:53a source of inspiration
22:55and an opportunity to envision
22:57a more promoting future
22:59with financing solutions
23:01adapted to their needs.
23:03An advance that could in the long run
23:05change the game
23:07for small and medium-sized
23:09companies in Ivory Coast.
23:11This is the end of this newscast.
