00:00Good evening and welcome to Médien-TV. Thank you for joining us for a new newscast.
00:19Here are the headlines.
00:21The latest report of the Competition Council on the turnover of the 9 fuel companies has been published.
00:27Analysis and decryption in a moment.
00:3270% of the victims in Gaza are women and children.
00:35Shocking figures presented in the new report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
00:42The National Union of Tunisian Journalists holds the Ministry of Justice responsible for the deterioration
00:47of the health of their imprisoned colleagues.
00:50The union revealed that 37 journalists are imprisoned.
00:57The Competition Council has just unveiled its third quarterly report of 2024 on the commitments
01:01of the main players in the fuel market.
01:04The document presents the dynamics of import, storage, distribution and the margins of the 9 companies
01:09controlling 85% of gas and petrol imports in Morocco.
01:14Explanations with Soheil Jalil.
01:18The Competition Council reveals the downsides of the Moroccan fuel market in the second quarter of 2024.
01:25The figures speak for themselves.
01:27The report highlights a drop in international quotas for refined products,
01:31which has not totally affected the pump prices.
01:35For diesel, the decrease in international quotas rises to 0.98 dirhams per litre,
01:41while the drop in the national average price is only 0.64 dirhams.
01:46As for petrol, the drop in revenues is even less significant.
01:51A reduction of 0.87 dirhams versus only 0.19 dirhams for the pump price.
01:58This difference is explained by the adjustments made by the operators on their purchase costs
02:03and stock shifts, but also by the margins, which could raise questions.
02:08In the second quarter of 2024, fuel imports increased by 11.2% in volume
02:14and 15.9% in value compared to 2023, with 1.65 million tonnes for 14 billion dirhams.
02:22This increase is partly attributable to the increase in the number of distributors to create,
02:26which now rises to 31, two more than in the previous quarter.
02:31Petrol remains the pillar of this market, with 88% of imported volumes,
02:35with only 12% of petrol.
02:38The distribution network is progressing, with 36 new service stations in the quarter,
02:43bringing the total to 3,447.
02:46Nearly three quarters of the stations belong to the nine major companies,
02:50showing a strong concentration of the market.
02:53Possible sales have slightly dropped by 2%,
02:55but the number of business transactions has still increased by 2.8%,
02:59reaching nearly 19 billion dirhams.
03:02The report still notes a downward trend in gross margins for distributors,
03:06which is 1.21 dirhams per litre for petrol and 1.79 dirhams for petrol,
03:12levels falling compared to the first quarter of 2024.
03:18Under the impetus of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI,
03:20the Kingdom of Morocco is positioned as a pioneering state in the fight against violence
03:24against children, said on Thursday in Bogata,
03:26Jodwane Hosseini, director of the United Nations and international organizations,
03:30to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, representing Morocco,
03:33at the first ministerial conference in the world to end violence against children.
03:37The Moroccan representative emphasized the particular attention
03:40that the sovereign continues to give to improving the conditions of childhood.
03:48Five Moroccan refugees died in the floods in Espen,
03:51according to sources from the Consulate General of Morocco in Valence.
03:54The families of the victims were contacted.
03:56The consular representative is waiting for the completion of the legal procedures
04:00to repatriate the remains.
04:02No less than ten Moroccans are still missing.
04:05And according to a provisional assessment,
04:06the Spanish authorities announced that the torrential rains
04:10killed at least 219 people and 93 disappeared.
04:16It had been 11 months since they had deserted amphitheaters and boycotted exams.
04:20Of course, medical students decided to stop their strike movement.
04:23Interest in an agreement could be found with the Ministry of Education and Health.
04:29Back on this denouement facilitated by the mediator of the kingdom,
04:32with Younes Benzinep.
04:35After 11 months of mobilization,
04:37medical students and Moroccan pharmacies suspended their strike.
04:41Following the signing of an agreement with the Ministers of Higher Education,
04:46Higher Education and Health,
04:50validated during discussions in the seat of the institution of the mediator,
04:54the agreement represents an answer to the main student claims.
05:05Today is an exceptional day
05:07that marks the return of students to the benches of the faculty.
05:11After the signing of an agreement with the Ministers of Higher Education and Health
05:18and the institution of the mediator,
05:22we are very proud of this achievement,
05:24which gives back value to the public faculty.
05:28This approach will allow us,
05:30as future health professionals,
05:32to contribute to the implementation of the royal construction
05:36related to the reform of the national health system.
05:42The heart of this agreement
05:44rests on a decision of the Ministry of Higher Education
05:47aiming not to apply the new regulation
05:50to the four promotions from the second to the fifth year.
05:54Students concerned will be able to continue their training
05:57according to the old rules,
05:59with the possibility of conducting clinical internships
06:02three months before the support of their thesis.
06:06This result reflects the joint efforts
06:08deployed by all parties concerned
06:10and translates the fruitful coordination
06:12between the institution and the rest of the stakeholders.
06:16With the teaching staff and the Ministry of Health,
06:19we have managed to create a climate conducive to dialogue
06:24and favorable to the establishment of trust.
06:29The new regulation also introduces a new framework
06:32for the sixth year for the subsequent promotions,
06:35which will now be extended to 44 weeks.
06:38The agreement also includes a commitment from the government
06:41to lift all disciplinary sanctions imposed on strike students.
06:46Let's take a look at Casablanca,
06:48where the Moroccan Automobile Construction Company
06:51proceeded yesterday,
06:53in the presence of the Minister of Industry and Commerce,
06:56to launch the manufacture of Renault Kardian,
06:59which is intended for the local market and export
07:02to about 15 countries.
07:04Renault Kardian Made in Morocco will be marketed in Morocco
07:07as early as next month.
07:09We listen to Mohamed Lachely,
07:11General Director of the Renault-Maroc Group.
07:13We are organizing today the launch event
07:15of a new model of the Renault brand
07:17at the Somaka factory in Casablanca.
07:20This model, which is called Kardian,
07:22is part of the strategy of the Renault brand
07:25at the international level.
07:28It is a new industrial investment
07:31that we have put in place at the Somaka factory,
07:34and we are proud to start it on time and in the quality we want.
07:38From November 2023 to April 2024,
07:40nearly 70% of the victims in the Gaza Strip
07:43are women and children.
07:45The new report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
07:47details a wide range of violations of international law
07:50that could be assimilated to war crimes,
07:52crimes against humanity and even genocide.
07:55Violations of women and children killed
07:57indicate a systematic violation of fundamental principles
08:00of international humanitarian law.
08:05To come back to the new report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
08:08on the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip,
08:11we listen to the analysis of Hassan Saoud,
08:13the expert in security and strategy.
08:17What you want me to tell you
08:19is what you just said,
08:23a macabre report, deplorable.
08:26We are almost in Gaza with 44,000 deaths
08:31and about 100,000 injured.
08:35In these days of the year,
08:37a thousand more, many injured,
08:40and unfortunately the squatters have not yet revealed their secrets.
08:44This macabre report is terrible
08:49and we have witnessed in parallel
08:51the destruction of all infrastructures
08:54of vital importance,
08:57hospitals, schools.
09:00Where are we?
09:02And it continues.
09:04In spite of all the denunciations of the international community,
09:07there is this pre-Buddhism of the Prime Minister
09:12who plays alone for his own interest
09:15and to try to maintain his fragile coalition.
09:19That's what we are.
09:21And the majority of the victims are women and children.
09:25It's a terrible situation.
09:28A hungry population,
09:30a population that lacks care,
09:32that lacks housing.
09:34This is the situation in which the Prime Minister
09:38leaves this part of Palestine.
09:43According to the AFP, Qatar has withdrawn its mediation
09:46between Israel and Hamas.
09:48The Palestinians have taken months of effort to put an end to the war.
09:51The Qataris have informed the Israelis and Hamas
09:53that as long as the two camps refuse to negotiate a good faith agreement,
09:57they will not be able to continue to play the role of mediators.
09:59As a result, the political office of Hamas in Doha no longer has a reason to be.
10:03We have not received any request to leave Qatar.
10:06On the other hand, a Hamas official said.
10:12A port container of Merck has refused to enter the Spanish port of Al-Haziras.
10:16The Spanish government had explained two days earlier
10:19to the daily Al-Pais that the boat will not make a stop in Spain
10:22because of the presence of Israeli weapons in the cargo.
10:26Spain is one of the most critical European voices
10:28regarding the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
10:33Mr. Biden will receive Donald Trump at the White House this Wednesday.
10:36The outgoing president has committed to ensuring a transfer of pacific power
10:40and order with the Republican.
10:42The two men must prepare the arrival of the next Trump administration
10:45in which figures of many personalities such as Elon Musk
10:49or even Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
10:51who could both play important roles.
10:53This meeting had been announced but the date has not been specified so far.
11:00The return to the White House of Donald Trump
11:02frightens climate experts.
11:04The Republican is a fervent defender of fossil fuels.
11:07Let's see why the speculations about his future government
11:10question and demand answers with Younes Benzinep.
11:18Barely elected 47th president of the United States,
11:21Donald Trump will have to tackle the composition of his future government.
11:25If certain positions are already provided,
11:27several names circulate for the different state secretaries.
11:31Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy, Mike Pompeo or even Marco Rubio,
11:36the well-known Republican, but also dozens of faithful in the shadows
11:40that must be rewarded to reform the first Trump government.
11:52I don't think that Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy will occupy ministerial positions.
11:59Although he is probably attracted by titles that he considers useful.
12:04It is likely that they will settle for the role of foreign advisor,
12:12seeking to increase their influence on a daily basis.
12:18To drive the Pentagon, Mike Pompeo,
12:20former head of diplomacy of Donald Trump and former CIA director,
12:25could be chosen.
12:27The American press also mentions the name of Richard Gurney,
12:30former ambassador to the United States in Germany.
12:33While Robert Kennedy Jr., nephew of the assassinated president,
12:37former independent candidate rallied to Donald Trump,
12:40could be responsible for public health policies.
12:51In the entourage of Donald Trump,
12:53we find a number of figures from more traditional backgrounds
12:57and very experienced in foreign policy and national security.
13:03Mike Walz, who could be named Secretary of Defense,
13:07would be a relevant choice.
13:11There are also people like Mike Pompeo,
13:13whose confirmation by the Senate seems likely.
13:18Others like Richard Grenell and Kate Kellogg
13:21could have very different perspectives.
13:24Appreciation for Suzy and Chris.
13:55The National Union of Tunisian Journalists
13:58holds the Ministry of Justice responsible
14:00for the deterioration of the health of their colleagues,
14:03Seta Haj Moubarak and Mohamed Bourleve, both imprisoned.
14:06The president of the union revealed
14:08that the number of journalists pursued in Tunisia
14:10has reached 37.
14:12Details with Nejwa Bechar.
14:15The National Union of Tunisian Journalists
14:18follows with interest the strike of the end of the journalist
14:21Sheveb El-Haj Moubarak since Sunday, November 3, 2024,
14:26in his prison in El-Messadin, in the east of the country,
14:30as a sign of protest against the contempt of the penitentiary authorities
14:34for the complexity of his state of health.
14:37The union also noted the deterioration of the state of health
14:41of the journalist Mohamed Bouraleb,
14:43who suffers from a severe dermatitis
14:46resulting from the effects of his stay in prison
14:49and the conditions of unfair treatment.
14:52The president of the union held the Ministry of Justice
14:56and the General Directorate of Prisons
14:59responsible for the repercussions that could affect them.
15:05So far, 37 journalists and media professionals
15:08have been referred to justice
15:10because of their opinions and their journalistic work
15:14in accordance with Law 54,
15:16which meets all the guarantees provided by the Constitution of 2022.
15:21Therefore, we have decided to prosecute the attackers,
15:25whether they are judges or officials.
15:28It must also be said that we hold the Ministry of Justice
15:31responsible for what will happen
15:34concerning the state of health of the journalists
15:37Sheveb El-Haj Moubarak and Mohamed Bouraleb.
15:41The Director of Communications at the UNESCO office in Tunisia
15:45has also expressed his deep concern
15:48about this authoritarian transformation
15:51that directly affects journalism,
15:54not only at the Tunisian level, but also at the global level.
16:01Journalism has become a source of danger and death,
16:04not only in conflict zones where 50% of cases are recorded,
16:09but the journalist has also become a target
16:12for those who do not like the truth.
16:15On the occasion of the International Day for the End of Impunity,
16:19figures indicate that 86% of journalists' murder cases
16:23remain unpunished.
16:27The organizations of civil society in Tunisia
16:30agree that Tunisian journalists
16:33are subject to unprecedented restrictions and judicial procedures,
16:39mainly because of the implementation
16:42of the Decree Law 54 on cybercriminality
16:45promulgated by President Saïd in September 2022.
16:54The management of road corridors in Central Africa
16:57was at the heart of the exchanges in Brazzaville.
17:00An expert meeting of several countries
17:03was part of a regional dynamic
17:06that promoted economic integration in the region.
17:09Here is our special reporter, Kevin Oswald-Oukaga.
17:13Central African countries are all united
17:15in the framework of regional initiatives
17:17supported by organizations such as the World Bank
17:20and the European Union,
17:22aimed at improving the efficiency of transport
17:25and trade in the region
17:27through better management of the corridors of Central Africa.
17:30About 20 years ago, the European Union
17:33was the initiator of the construction
17:36of regional corridors in Central Africa.
17:39It was about linking countries to each other.
17:42So there are still a few to connect.
17:45For example, between Brazzaville and Bangui directly.
17:50It will be very interesting the day it is done.
17:53But Brazzaville-Libreville, for example,
17:56already exists through OYO.
17:58The Brazzaville meeting brought together
18:00experts and government officials from several countries.
18:03Improving roads and transport infrastructure
18:06will facilitate trade between these countries,
18:09said the experts.
18:11We must translate the will of the governments of the continent
18:16to reconnect the continent,
18:18to ensure that trade between countries is a reality.
18:23These types of transactions
18:25put us in the free trade zone.
18:27How can we trade
18:29if we do not have roads?
18:31How can we make these types of exchanges?
18:33We must make exchanges from east to west,
18:36from north to south, through the center.
18:38In Central Africa, several transport corridors
18:41play a crucial role for trade and economic development,
18:44especially for the enclaved countries.
18:47Better maintained roads will reduce transport costs
18:50and transit time,
18:52which is crucial to stimulate intra-regional trade.
18:57The first days of Heritage and Environment
18:59were held in Al-Jadidah.
19:01This event brings together historians, academics,
19:03as well as international and international universities
19:06to preserve and enhance the millennial heritage
19:09of this city, formerly called Mazagan.
19:11Within the space of historical memory,
19:13resistance and liberation,
19:15this edition is organized under the theme
19:1720th year of the inscription of the stronghold of Mazagan,
19:20Al-Jadidah, in UNESCO World Heritage.
19:23What a result!
19:27Coinciding with the 39th anniversary of the Green Walk,
19:30the 20th anniversary of the inscription of the stronghold of Al-Jadidah
19:33in UNESCO World Heritage,
19:35and the centenary of the inauguration of the seats
19:37of the post office and customs of Al-Jadidah,
19:39the first edition of these days of Heritage and Environment
19:42will bear the name of H. Mohamed Sderi.
19:45I invite you to listen to H. Mohamed Sderi,
19:48President of the Shoahib Duqali Association.
19:51On the occasion of the 49th anniversary
19:53of the epic of the Green Walk,
19:55the 20th anniversary of the inscription of the stronghold of Mazagan
19:58in UNESCO World Heritage,
20:01and the centenary of the inauguration of the seats
20:04of the post office and customs of Al-Jadidah,
20:09the Shoahib Sderi Duqali Foundation
20:12organizes the first days of Heritage and Environment,
20:17H. Mohamed Sderi edition.
20:19This is one of the objectives of the Foundation
20:22to promote the city of Al-Jadidah
20:25by morality and aesthetics.
20:28And through the city of Al-Jadidah,
20:31contribute to the evolution of our country.
20:36These first days will receive Moroccan and French intellectuals
20:43who will deal with the environment and heritage
20:48through law, literature and many other areas.
20:52We will also have the opportunity to share experiences with other countries
20:56because among the guests we have a councillor
21:00of the French State Council,
21:01which is the largest legal institution of administrative law in France.
21:05The State Council assumes a role of legal advisor
21:08for the government, the National Assembly and the Senate.
21:11It gives legal advice on laws and regulations
21:13before they are debated or voted in Parliament.
21:16Jérôme Saint-Just-Le-Maire,
21:18guest of the first days of Heritage and Environment of Al-Jadidah,
21:20tells us more.
21:22I was invited to this conference to talk about the State Council,
21:28which is an institution that does not exist in Morocco.
21:31The French State Council is at the same time
21:33the Supreme Administrative Jurisdiction
21:35and at the same time the State Council.
21:37My Moroccan friends told me that there was no State Council
21:41and the Supreme Administrative Jurisdiction
21:43is your Court of Cassation.
21:45There is only one Supreme Court.
21:47In France, there are two.
21:48There is the Court of Cassation and the State Council.
21:50My intention is to present to the Moroccans
21:53this original institution that has no equivalent in Morocco
21:57and on the other hand to talk to them,
21:59since it was one of the themes with Heritage today,
22:02to talk to them about the role of the State Council
22:05as a Supreme Administrative Jurisdiction
22:07in the defense of the environment in France,
22:10with in particular some recent cases
22:12that have marked a lot in terms of air quality,
22:16in terms of global warming
22:18and in terms of the protection of dolphins in the Gulf of Cascogne
22:22because of the nets of fishermen.
22:25This is the end of this news.
22:26Thank you for following it.
22:27Stay with us.
22:28The info continues on Mediain TV.
