01:08Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
01:09Araba, Minister Nasser Bourita received today the European Commissioner in charge of Neighbourhood
01:19and Expansion, Oliver Varelli, when he met the head of the Moroccan Diplomacy, expressed
01:26the wish to see the European Union demonstrate, by concrete actions, its commitment to the
01:32strategic partnership with Morocco.
01:34More details with Alaa Ben Ali.
01:37The arrival in Morocco of Oliver Varelli, European Commissioner in charge of Neighbourhood
01:42and Expansion, marks a turning point in relations between Morocco and the European Union.
01:47This is an opportunity taken by the head of the Moroccan Diplomacy, Nasser Bourita, to
01:51clearly define his expectations regarding the European Union.
01:54The partnership between Morocco and the European Union has reached a critical stage, which requires
02:06the confirmation of the commitment of the European Union in this partnership through
02:11actions beyond verbal expressions.
02:14The European Union must cement this partnership with Morocco and defend it against blackmail
02:19and legal and economic harassment.
02:21Today, Morocco is waiting for the European Union to say how it plans to deal with provocations.
02:28For Morocco, there can be no compromise to the detriment of the red lines drawn by the
02:34Kingdom.
02:35On the other hand, the European Commissioner in charge of Neighbourhood and Expansion expressed
02:45his agreement with the head of the Moroccan Diplomacy, by stating that the European Union
02:50would not only like to save this partnership, but also to expand it.
02:54We are ready to work with you and, as you have seen, our communication is very clear.
03:03We are committed to all the gains that have been made together with Morocco and we would
03:11like not only to save, but also to expand all these gains.
03:16Because, as you have seen in the last five years, Morocco is targeted in Europe as a
03:28pillar of stability, a pillar of prosperity, and more and more in the last five years we
03:37have seen this, and also a pillar that is always calculable, always available and serious
03:47at the level of regional security.
03:48For us, this partnership is not only positive, but essential.
03:58During his visit, the Commissioner announced the injection of 190 million euros, allocated
04:03to an integrated programme of reconstruction and general level-up of the affected areas
04:08in September 2023 by the Al-Hawz earthquake.
04:11This programme, of a total value of 225 million euros, is based on the support of the populations
04:16affected by the earthquake, as well as the relaunch of essential public services and the revitalization
04:22of the local economy.
04:25As part of bilateral cooperation, the Director-General of National Security and Territory Surveillance,
04:31Abdel Latif Hammouchi, received this Monday in Rabat the General Administrator of State
04:37Security, Belgian, Franziska Bostin, on a business visit in the Kingdom, at the head
04:43of a strong security delegation.
04:45According to a statement from the DGSN-DGST poll, this meeting allowed to review and examine
04:52different internal security issues of common interest for Morocco and Belgium,
04:57notably the means of countering threats and terrorist risks on regional and international
05:03levels, particularly in the sub-Saharan region of the Sahel.
05:10Tonight's guest on the show is the Minister of Economy and Finance, Nadia Feta-Alawi,
05:17who is back on the front lines of the PLF 2025, the generalization of love, the widening
05:23of social cooperation.
05:25So many reforms are planned in the finance bill and defended by the Executive,
05:30on which the Minister is back.
05:32Let's listen to her.
05:34First of all, I salute the work of the CSE.
05:36It is extremely important that public policies are, let's say, appreciated or at least
05:42reviewed regularly.
05:44We don't wait for several years, that's very good.
05:46So, as the report says, the generalization of love, we can say today that it is a success.
05:53We have, in addition to the 10 million, let's say, employees who benefit from the CNSS,
05:5910 million people, more or less, in a lot of love and a large number of non-employed workers.
06:04So today, yes, indeed, there is a fraction of the population that is not covered.
06:10Essentially, let's say, in two sectors, which are agriculture and craftsmanship,
06:14and we know the causes of this.
06:16So, first of all, continue to raise awareness so that people register.
06:20Unfortunately, people only go to health insurance when they are sick.
06:24So, it must be said that there is an approachable category for everyone.
06:28We also had, let's say, economic conditions that put us in trouble.
06:32We had an amnesty last year and more than 150,000 people took advantage of it.
06:37So, it's a continuous path.
06:40We have re-evaluated the methods, the support measures and the appreciation of the situation.
06:48The Israeli Security Cabinet will speak tomorrow evening on an agreement to cease fire in Lebanon.
06:54This is what an Israeli official said today at the France Press agency.
06:59We are moving forward on this front.
07:01He had declared a little earlier in New York that the ambassador of Israel to the United Nations,
07:06who was the state of such a meeting today or tomorrow.
07:13And in the wait for a possible ceasefire,
07:15the Israeli army brought a series of deadly strikes on the southern border of Beirut yesterday.
07:21The Hezbollah announced yesterday that it had launched more than 160 projectiles
07:26against targets and military bases in the Tel Aviv region, in southern Israel.
07:31The Lebanese Ministry of Education has announced the suspension of face-to-face classes in Beirut,
07:38until the end of December.
07:41More details with Oswald Jalila.
07:47Every day, there is an exchange of strikes in the Middle East.
07:50The Hezbollah indicated that it had launched drones and missiles against military targets in Tel Aviv
07:56and a naval base in Ashdod, in southern Israel, in a rare attack on southern Israel.
08:01In retaliation, the southern border of Beirut was hit by two Israeli strikes.
08:06On a visit to Beirut, the head of European Union Diplomacy,
08:10Josep Borrell, called for an immediate ceasefire in the war between Israel and the Hezbollah,
08:15after his interviews with Prime Minister Najib Mikati and the head of parliament, Nebi Ebri.
08:27It is tragic that we could not put an end to this war.
08:33It is time to learn from the tragedies we have seen in Lebanon and Gaza,
08:38to avoid more suffering.
08:40We must put pressure on the Israeli government and maintain pressure on the Hezbollah
08:45so that it accepts the proposal to cease fire in the United States,
08:49a proposal awaiting final settlement with the Israeli government.
08:57In the program of the head of European Diplomacy,
09:00there are also discussions with Nebi Ebri, president of the Lebanese parliament,
09:04key player in the negotiations for a possible ceasefire between Israel and the Hezbollah.
09:09The European diplomat also had to meet the head of the Lebanese army
09:13and UN officials in order to deal with the escalation of violence in the region.
09:18As the European Union, we are supporting the Lebanese people
09:23As the European Union, we are supporting the Lebanese people, the Lebanese army.
09:28As the European Union, we are supporting the Lebanese people, the Lebanese army and the Lebanese institutions.
09:34We are ready to provide 200 million euros to help strengthen the Lebanese army,
09:38not only financially but also technically.
09:41What and how we can support your army?
09:45Since September 2023, Israel has intensified its air strikes in Lebanon,
09:50targeting the Hezbollah's bastions in response to the attacks carried out by the group in solidarity with Hamas.
09:55The Israeli strikers caused more than 3,650 deaths in Lebanon.
10:00The Pentagon confirmed that talks were underway between the United States, France and other partners
10:06to establish a ceasefire based on the implementation of Resolution 1701.
10:13And on the evolution of the situation in the Middle East,
10:16I invite you to listen to the analysis of Zeina Tibi,
10:19journalist and founder of the Association of Arab Women of the AFACOM press in Paris.
10:24Listen, Mr. Stein, when he did his tour, he was just in Tel Aviv,
10:32he didn't go back to Beirut.
10:35He went back to Washington, we don't know why.
10:38Doesn't Beirut interest them?
10:41There are only Israeli decisions that matter, we don't know.
10:46In fact, Israeli policy is a policy to the end.
10:52They want to destroy, they want to impose their will, their own policy,
10:58and they don't take into account Lebanese claims,
11:02that is to say, to protect the civilian population that is being massacred.
11:08We are destroying entire buildings in which families, children, women are located.
11:15And supposedly there are Hezbollah people in these buildings, which is not true.
11:22These are refugees from the south,
11:25and we have the feeling that Israeli policy is trying to create discomfort in the Lebanese population.
11:35These refugees are targeted,
11:39and this means that the population of Beirut will be afraid to receive these populations in their homes.
11:48So the discomfort is really total within the population.
11:54Let's go back to politics.
11:56There was a conference in Paris,
12:01where 70 countries were represented to help Lebanon, in solidarity with Lebanon.
12:08And the result is what we demand, what Lebanon demands,
12:13which is to cease fire,
12:15to accept deploying the Lebanese army in the south,
12:20so that Hezbollah fighters withdraw beyond Litany.
12:26Everyone agrees on this,
12:30but Israel imposes unacceptable conditions on Lebanon.
12:37That is to say, Israel wants to have the right to take over Lebanese territory whenever and however it wants.
12:45That is to say, to question the sovereignty of this country, which is unacceptable.
12:52So now the goal is to find a solution,
12:56to really deploy the Lebanese army in the south,
13:00to keep the strength of the UN,
13:03so that it is maintained in the south of Lebanon and strengthened.
13:08That could create a kind of security.
13:15But will Israel accept to mitigate these conditions?
13:22That is the question.
13:24And then, Mr. Epstein, who goes to Israel to speak,
13:30he only hears the sound of a bell, it seems.
13:33The Italian Presidency of the G7, optimistic about a ceasefire in Lebanon.
13:38The head of Italian diplomacy, Antonio Tazani,
13:41who presides a meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs of the G7 near Rome,
13:46said on Monday, optimistic about a ceasefire in Lebanon.
13:49These statements are based on international pressure,
13:53increased after a call yesterday in Beirut
13:56from the head of European Union diplomacy, Josep Borrell,
13:59to an immediate ceasefire.
14:03The ministers of foreign affairs of the group of the seven most developed countries
14:08will also meet in Italy for two days to discuss,
14:12during the talks, the conflict in the Middle East and the war in Ukraine,
14:16the developments with Sheikh Mahfoukri.
14:21Five days after a new veto of the United States to the UN Security Council
14:25to end the ceasefire in Gaza,
14:27Italy will hold the first session of the G7 meeting
14:30on the situation in the Middle East and the Red Sea.
14:33The work of this event will also address the suspended mandates
14:36launched by the International Criminal Court
14:38against the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
14:41his former minister of defense, Yoav Galan,
14:44and the head of Hamas, Mohamed Dreyf.
14:46Italy signed on the order of the day of this meeting
14:49an extensive dialogue session
14:51with the Saudi Arabian ministers of Egypt, Jordan,
14:54the United Arab Emirates and Qatar,
14:57as well as with the Secretary General of the Arab League, Ahmed Aboulret.
15:04The current world is very problematic,
15:07even, unfortunately, dangerous to a large extent.
15:10The wars in Europe, especially in Ukraine,
15:12as well as in the Middle East and the dangers are everywhere in the world.
15:15It is therefore very important that Western countries cooperate closely
15:19in order to adopt a common position in diplomatic talks
15:22and in the search for a better and more peaceful world.
15:26On Tuesday, the war in Ukraine and the situation in the Indo-Pacific space
15:30will be at the heart of the discussions.
15:32And this in the presence of ministers from several Asian countries.
15:35The ministers of the G7 will also discuss
15:38the ongoing crises in Haiti, Sudan and Venezuela.
15:41At the same time, the ministers of foreign affairs
15:44of the Mediterranean periphery will meet in Rome
15:47for the 10th edition of the Mediterranean Dialogues,
15:50with, for the first time,
15:52the participation of Western Balkan countries.
15:55The German Minister of Foreign Affairs also said
15:58that the crash in Lithuania of a cargo plane
16:01from Germany could be an accident or a hybrid incident
16:04linked to an external intervention,
16:07said Annalena Barbok,
16:10on the eve of a G7 meeting in Italy,
16:13alluding to the recent rupture of two telecommunications cables
16:16in the Mediterranean.
16:19In the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, Kiev said
16:22it had hit a fuel depot in Russia,
16:25in the region of Kaluga.
16:28The Russian governor of this region,
16:31located in the south of Moscow,
16:34said that the air defense had shot down eight drones.
16:37The fall of debris from these aircraft
16:40caused a fire in the air defense.
16:43It was the first time in the history of Ukraine
16:46that the Russian government had shot down a drone.
16:49After several hours,
16:52the governor, Vladislav Chapshan,
16:55said, without giving more details.
17:02Cyberbullying, sexism, sexual assault,
17:05forced marriage or femicide.
17:08Women and girls are victims of targeted violence in the world.
17:11In 1999, the United Nations
17:15decided to proclaim the 25th of November,
17:18the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
17:2125 years later,
17:24Shaima Fikri gives us the status of the women's situation in 2024.
17:30Every ten minutes, a woman is killed in the world.
17:33According to the UN figures,
17:3685,000 women were intentionally killed in 2023.
17:3960% were killed by their spouses
17:42or other family members.
17:45The home remains the most dangerous place for women.
17:48Since the beginning of the year,
17:51at least 135 femicides have been reported.
17:54We see that the rate of violence is very high.
17:57Until July of this year,
18:00more than 5,000 reports of missing women have been recorded.
18:03Women of all ages, girls, teenagers, women and older adults.
18:06Only half of the missing people have been found.
18:09Many victims of femicides have reported
18:12physical, sexual or psychological violence before their death.
18:15According to the data available in some countries,
18:18France, according to the UN report,
18:21the Caribbean, Central America and Africa
18:24are the regions where most of these crimes are recorded compared to Asia.
18:27On a global scale,
18:30more than 730 million women have been victims
18:33of physical or sexual violence
18:36by their partners, others or both,
18:39at least once in their lives.
18:42Yes, on a more global scale,
18:45there is an awareness that the rapist can be our spouse,
18:48our husband, it can be the neighbor,
18:51it's people of all social classes,
18:54of all origins,
18:57it's not exclusively poor people
19:00or migrants, it can be anything.
19:03Despite the omnipresence of this violence
19:06and the incessant denunciations of women's rights activists,
19:09the political decision-makers' answers to try to reduce them
19:12remain insufficient.
19:15While the world celebrates the 25th International Day
19:18for the Elimination of Violence against Women,
19:21some countries have completely disengaged from the fight against this cause.
19:24Turkey, for example, withdrew from the Istanbul Convention
19:27in July 2021.
19:31Where are Morocco's efforts and progress
19:34in terms of the fight against violence against women?
19:37And how does the Moroccan UNIFA contribute to these efforts?
19:40I invite you to listen to the answer of
19:43Myriam Noussairi, representative of the Moroccan UNIFA.
19:46Morocco has made significant progress
19:49in the last 20 years,
19:52notably in terms of
19:55regulatory and legal framework.
19:59A framework law exists, the 103.13,
20:02which fights against violence against women and girls in Morocco.
20:05Unfortunately, we have identified
20:08through various investigations and studies
20:11that only 40% of women in Morocco
20:14are aware of the existence
20:17of this legal framework.
20:20UNIFA, as well as other partners
20:23of the Moroccan government,
20:26the institution and civil society
20:29are working to fight this plague of violence
20:32against women and girls through several actions.
20:35The first is an accompaniment
20:38to align with the commitments of
20:41the International Morocco.
20:44It goes by pleading
20:47to support all legal reform processes
20:50to align the
20:53normative framework of Morocco
20:56with international commitments,
20:59but also by strengthening the capacity
21:02to support the various partners
21:05that are included in the chain of
21:08women victims of violence
21:11to provide quality services,
21:14essential services,
21:17but also to implement
21:20data collection.
21:23As you know, data generation
21:26makes it possible to better orient
21:29political decisions and also
21:32to take into account the effects
21:35and tendencies of violence,
21:38whether in urban or rural areas.
21:41In Indonesia, floods killed at least 16 people
21:44and 17 disappeared earlier.
21:47In Sumatra, the disaster management agency
21:50has deployed personnel and rescue services.
21:53Landslides occur regularly
21:56in this vast archipelago
21:59during the rainy season between November and April,
22:02a phenomenon aggravated in some regions
22:05by deforestation.
22:08Yesterday, Ariad started the
22:11International Conference on Twin Cities.
22:14This meeting is attended by
22:17ministers, leaders and international experts
22:20specialized in the field.
22:23Mohamed Bourouis and Faysal Habrouch
22:26tell us about it in this story.
22:3230 years of success of the Saudi Twin Cities Program.
22:35Ariad hosts the International Conference
22:38on Twin Cities, a program
22:41that is going from success to success.
22:44To date, 61 separation operations
22:47have been carried out with a success rate
22:50close to 100%.
22:56The National Guard Hospital
22:59is one of the best structures in the world
23:02for the separation operations of Siamese people,
23:05especially the Siamese Kranjopash,
23:08who need to separate the mucous membrane
23:11inside the skull,
23:14which makes this task very difficult.
23:24Our teams include several medical disciplines,
23:27doctors, nurses, anesthetists,
23:30kinesiotherapists, social workers.
23:33All these people are needed to carry out this humanitarian task.
23:39The discussions of this conference
23:42call for developing solutions
23:45to overcome the physical constraints
23:48of the beneficiaries of separation operations
23:51and allow them to access
23:54the specialized care centers
23:57that Saudi Arabia has.
24:00With the help of the King Salman Center
24:03for Humanitarian Aid and Action,
24:06I was delighted to come to this beautiful country
24:09where my life was saved.
24:15Launched in 1990,
24:18this program reflects the humanitarian values
24:21deeply rooted in Saudi Arabia
24:24and embodies its commitment to Siamese twins around the world.
24:27Note that on the occasion of this conference,
24:30many agreements related to the humanitarian efforts of Saudi Arabia
24:33and international organizations
24:36are taking care of children around the world.
24:39This concludes this newscast.
