00:00Thank you for joining us for this episode of L'Actualité non passée des titres.
00:21Marco Rubio has arrived in Israel.
00:23The US Secretary of State is starting a first stage of a tour in the Middle East
00:27which will also bring him to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
00:31Details in a few moments.
00:35This visit of Marco Rubio takes place when more than 300 Palestinian prisoners
00:40have been released in exchange for three hostages held by Hamas,
00:43an agreement in the context of the Gaza Strip.
00:49In Addis Ababa, the 38th summit of the heads of state of the African Union is being held,
00:54a summit clipped by the conflicts that shake the continent.
00:57We meet again right away for the development.
01:03Welcome ladies and gentlemen.
01:04Marco Rubio has arrived in Israel.
01:06The first stage of a tour in the Middle East which will also bring him to Saudi Arabia
01:11and the United Arab Emirates.
01:13The US Secretary of State will meet this Sunday with Benjamin Netanyahu
01:18during which he will highlight President Trump's proposal
01:23to take control of the Gaza Strip, devastated by more than 15 months of war,
01:28a proposal already rejected by Aligarh.
01:35The tour of the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the Middle East
01:39takes place on the day when more than 300 Palestinian prisoners
01:42have left the Israeli jails.
01:46In exchange, Hamas released three hostages held in the Gaza Strip.
01:51Let's take a look at Sheyma Fikri.
01:55The sixth exchange since the beginning of the strike, which almost burst,
01:59came into force this Saturday morning.
02:01Hamas and the Islamic Jihad released three Israeli hostages in Gaza
02:05against Palestinian prisoners.
02:07This release took place while the Secretary of State Marco Rubio
02:11is expected to attend a party in Israel.
02:13He must meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
02:16who said he wanted to work with the American ally
02:19to release as soon as possible all the hostages.
02:22As part of this agreement, Israel had to release 369 Palestinian prisoners.
02:28It was on the bus that these prisoners were transferred to Gaza
02:32and six to Jordan.
02:38You know, when you stay in prison for 15 or 20 years,
02:41it feels good and it's a good thing.
02:43I didn't expect to be released, but God is great.
02:46He released us.
02:50We endured hunger, cold, violence and humiliation, but thanks to God.
02:54We are a resilient people, firmly attached to our just cause,
02:58and I hope that freedom will soon be ours.
03:02This first phase of the Treaty of Trevon has already allowed
03:05the release of 19 Israeli hostages and at least 765 Palestinian prisoners.
03:10During this phase, 33 hostages and 1,900 detainees must be released autonomously.
03:16According to a source close to the negotiations,
03:19the mediators hope to start next week in Doha to talk about the second phase of the agreement.
03:24This is supposed to allow the release of all hostages
03:27and the final end of the war before a last phase
03:30devoted to the reconstruction of Gaza,
03:33a gigantic project estimated by the UN to more than 53 billion dollars.
03:38In Munich, the Moroccan Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development
03:43took part in the Security Meeting.
03:46Interviewed by Bloomberg, Leila Ben Ali,
03:49she highlighted the assets of the Kingdom in terms of green energy.
03:53For the Minister, Morocco is positioned as one of the most competitive countries
03:57in the field of renewable energies,
03:59which attracts a large number of people from all over the world.
04:03On the future of global investments in this sector,
04:06Mrs. Ben Ali insisted on the need for a structured plan
04:10to finance the energy transition.
04:17And when the diplomatic initiatives of Donald Trump worry its partners,
04:22President Emmanuel Macron invited European leaders to a meeting on Monday in Paris
04:27to announce the implementation of the agreement.
04:30Yesterday, the head of Polish diplomacy, Radosław Sierurski,
04:34announced that he wished that this meeting
04:37would seriously address the challenges posed to the Europeans
04:41by the will of the American president
04:44to push for negotiations with Vladimir Putin
04:47on a settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.
04:53Focus now on the 38th Summit of the Heads of State of the African Union,
04:57in Di Saveba.
05:07We must avoid a regional escalation
05:10in the conflict that ravages the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo,
05:14said Saturday the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres,
05:18at the opening of the 38th Summit of the Heads of State of the African Union.
05:23A summit eclipsed by the conflicts that shake our continent.
05:27For Moussa Fakim Rahmad, it is time to put an end to the violence in RDC.
05:33The President of the Commission of the UN,
05:37therefore, went out to exhort the parties to the conflict,
05:40to observe a compulsory ceasefire.
05:46Dear Sadi Mouniaei,
05:48your political science comes back to the challenges
05:51that the African Union is called upon to face.
05:54Together, we will listen to it.
06:19These are the challenges that the heads of state will face at this summit.
06:24These are security issues, economic issues, but also diplomatic issues.
06:28Because we know that Africa is currently in a geopolitical battle
06:33that is practically opposing many countries in the West,
06:37at the level of the African soil.
06:39I'm talking about the Americans, the Russians, the French, and so on.
06:42So I can tell you that this summit will allow the heads of state to discuss issues,
06:45but also challenges, and also objectives that need to be met
06:48to allow the African continent to get out of this great poverty
06:52that will continue to hit the African continent.
06:55Because we know that the African Union currently has a small margin of manoeuvre,
07:01if I may say so here,
07:03in relation to the various objectives that are set by this organization.
07:09But for this 38th summit,
07:12the biggest challenge for the heads of state is security, but also economic.
07:18Meanwhile, Mahmoud Ali Youssouf is the new president of the African Union Commission.
07:24The Diboussia succeeded Moussa Fakim Rahmad.
07:27He was elected for a four-year term.
07:30Mahmoud Ali Youssouf has served as Foreign Affairs Minister for nearly 20 years.
07:36The Diboussia was particularly preferred to the veteran of the Kenyan opposition,
07:40Reyla Odinga, who was a figure of favoritism.
07:47Still in Addis Ababa, Angola now assures the turning presidency of the UAE.
07:51Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazwani
07:55gave testimony yesterday to his Angolan counterpart, João Lourenço,
07:59who called for a more active participation of Africa in world governance,
08:05reaffirming the African demand for two permanent seats with veto rights
08:10at the United Nations Security Council.
08:17Let's take a tour of the seats of the African Union,
08:19where the Moroccan pavilion attracts many visitors, diplomats and journalists.
08:24There are many to go there.
08:26A space that teaches about beauty and Moroccan hospitality.
08:29Guided tour with Soheil Janine.
08:33In the heart of Addis Ababa, the Moroccan pavilion delights hearts and minds.
08:37Within this space, the exhibitors tell the story of a proud kingdom of its origins,
08:42its heritage, its values, its men and women and its natural resources.
08:47Morocco thus highlights its ancestral, natural, cultural heritage,
08:52but also its know-how and its talents, its future and hope.
08:59We were surprised by the level of craftsmanship.
09:02This reminded me, as a Syrian from Damascus, of my craftsmanship.
09:06We were enchanted by Moroccan craftsmanship and its power of suggestion.
09:10This reminded me of our Damascene mosaics,
09:13which can be found in many old Arab and Maghreb homes.
09:16I wish with all my heart that this captivating space
09:19is always as attractive, always as beautiful and as big.
09:22I wish for this spectator to come here and attract them to me.
09:28The pavilion combines tradition and modernity, thus preserving the identity of the kingdom.
09:33Here, Moroccan tea is served in decorated cups, exalting the fragrance of fresh mint,
09:39while traditional sweets are served in plates, exalting the secular craftsmanship of the artisan.
09:46Since we came today, we've been coming to take our tea from this Moroccan stand here.
09:53We came to take our tea from this marvellous Moroccan stand, first and then African.
09:58The Kingdom of Morocco has always been a federative kingdom within the continent.
10:02It has always shared its expertise with its African brothers,
10:06who have different fields, educational, financial and especially cultural.
10:16The Morocco stand conveys the image of a Morocco rich in talent,
10:20a source of inspiration and a land of welcome and opportunity.
10:24A warm place, deploying all the richness, diversity and authenticity of Moroccan history.
10:37We now head to the Democratic Republic of Congo,
10:40where the fighters of the M23, supported by the Rwanda, continue their advance south of Kivu.
10:46After taking control of the airport and neighboring areas,
10:50they entered Bokavou, a large city in eastern RDC.
10:55According to local and security sources, Bokavou is not yet fully under the control of the army group,
11:00which was still conducting security operations on the outskirts of the city yesterday.
11:08How to strengthen the economic dynamic of Kokone, the Tangier and Tetouan Oceima regions?
11:14The question was addressed yesterday,
11:16during a meeting presided over by the Minister in charge of investment,
11:21convergence and assessment of public policies.
11:24Souad Jalila reports.
11:28In Tangier, Karim Zidan reinforces the dialogue with regional investors.
11:32The Minister in charge of investment, convergence and assessment of public policies
11:39held a meeting with the investors of the Tangier and Tetouan Oceima region.
11:44The objective is to discuss ways to strengthen the economic dynamic of the region
11:49and further improve the business climate.
11:58We listened to the issues and challenges faced by the investors of the region.
12:03We were also able to learn about their vision to boost private investment
12:07and further strengthen economic attractiveness.
12:10Our government is committed to supporting investors
12:13and to realizing the national strategy of private investment,
12:17aiming to mobilize 150 billion dirhams and create 500,000 jobs by 2026.
12:27The Minister visited two industrial units
12:31that benefited from the support of the new investment charter.
12:34She allowed to assess the business climate in the region
12:37and to affirm the firm commitment of the government
12:40to support investors in the realization of their projects.
12:46We are proud of what our society reflects the excellence of Moroccan-European relations.
12:50Our group, which operates in the textile sector,
12:53managed to set up nine units, thus offering more than 5,000 jobs,
12:58thus contributing to the solidity of the national economy.
13:04At the end of his visit, Karim Zidan emphasized the need to strengthen coordination
13:09between the different local actors.
13:11He also reiterated the commitment of his department
13:14to work actively to strengthen the support and support of investors in an effective way
13:19in order to promote the creation of high-value jobs
13:23and the realization of global and integrated development.
13:27The Moroccan Political Party of the Socialist Union of People's Forces
13:31and the Sahrawi Coalition for the Defense of the Victims of Rachid's Prison in Tindouf
13:36organized a meeting on human rights in Rabat.
13:40The aim is to shed light on the serious violations
13:44suffered by the detainees in the prisons of the Polisario,
13:47the developments with Sheikh Mahfoukri.
13:50Isolated from the world, the victims in the prisons of the Tindouf camps
13:54have been subjected to the most heinous violations.
13:57This is a human tragedy, kept secret for many years.
14:01The horrors committed have been exposed to the world through an exhibition of photographs
14:05highlighting the suffering of the detainees and the families of the victims.
14:09This approach is part of an initiative in defense of human rights
14:12orchestrated by the U.S.F.P. in collaboration with the Sahrawi Coalition
14:16for the Defense of the Victims of Rachid's Prison in Tindouf.
14:25It is high time to launch a national campaign
14:27to change the situation of the victims of the Tindouf camps
14:30to achieve liberation and justice for the detainees
14:33as well as the punishment of those responsible.
14:36We are optimistic and support the program proposed for the coming period
14:40because this is how we must behave as patriots.
14:47This initiative was followed by a meeting on human rights.
14:50It highlighted the psychological and physical effects of the victims
14:54while addressing the conditions of detentions and violations
14:57of which they were victims.
14:59The objective of this meeting was to raise awareness
15:02of the international opinion on the abuses committed in Rachid's prison in Tindouf
15:05to support the demands of the victims on the international scene
15:08and to reinforce the efforts aimed at bringing to justice
15:11those responsible for these human rights crimes.
15:19As Sahrawis, we want to make our voice heard.
15:22We want to refute this affirmation
15:24because the police movement represents only itself.
15:28As you can see, these photographs reveal the reality of the actions
15:31and crimes perpetrated by the police
15:33supported by the Algerian regime.
15:35I salute these initiatives that put pressure on the Algerian regime
15:38and above all, that reveal the truth about what is happening in the camps.
15:47We want to make our voice heard.
15:49We want to make our voice heard.
15:51We want to make our voice heard.
15:53We want to make our voice heard.
15:56We want to make our voice heard.
15:59The participants of this meeting emphasized
16:01that the state of the detainees in the camps in Tindouf
16:03imposed on the international public opinion
16:05should put an end to this suffering.
16:07Such initiatives reinforce the positive dynamics
16:10of the Moroccan Sahara issue
16:12as part of the Autonomy initiative
16:14which benefits from growing support
16:16from the international community.
16:20Cannabis, a plant used in the development
16:24of medical and food products.
16:26Products that will be available in the months to come
16:29for consumers in Morocco and internationally.
16:33A possible availability thanks to the considerable efforts
16:36of the Moroccan laboratories
16:38which have succeeded in promoting innovation in this sector.
16:41Ima Fikri tells us more.
16:46Cannabis is at the heart of the new Moroccan industry.
16:49In the medical and food sectors,
16:51this substance makes its entrance
16:53on the national and international market.
16:55This is due to the promulgation of law 1321
16:58concerning the legitimate use of cannabis
17:01which came into force in March 2021.
17:09We offer two categories of products.
17:11On the one hand, there are drugs
17:13which were recently put on sale.
17:15These are the first drugs based on cannabis
17:17approved by the Ministry of Health.
17:19Like all drugs, their use requires
17:21a medical prescription.
17:23These drugs are specifically intended
17:25for the treatment of epilepsy.
17:27In particular, complex forms
17:29that do not react to other treatments
17:31available on the market.
17:33Other drugs are also under development.
17:41Official reports published by
17:43the National Agency for Regulation
17:45of Cannabis-Related Activities
17:47confirmed the approval of 2837 licenses
17:49to 2659 farmers
17:52for cannabis cultivation in 2024.
17:54These figures mark an increase
17:56of 430 licenses compared
17:58to the previous year.
18:00192 other licenses have been awarded
18:02to 98 manufacturers,
18:04marketers and exporters.
18:06This will facilitate the marketing
18:08of Moroccan products
18:10at the international level.
18:12We intend to market this drug
18:14first in Morocco,
18:16then export it to countries
18:18where there is no patent for this product
18:20because it is a generic of a drug
18:22still protected by a patent.
18:24On the whole of the African continent,
18:26this patent is not in force,
18:28which allows us to consider
18:30its export to these countries.
18:32In addition, in two years,
18:34the patent in Europe will expire,
18:36which will also allow us
18:38to export it on this market.
18:40The cannabis industry in the kingdom
18:42remains one of the most promising sectors
18:44and this because of the strong demand
18:46both nationally and internationally.
18:48In addition, agricultural cooperatives
18:50from cannabis-producing regions
18:52and pharmaceutical laboratories
18:54work to promote and market
18:56local products.
18:58Ladies and gentlemen,
19:00snowfalls are expected in the kingdom,
19:02in particular in the provinces
19:04of Ouarzazate, Temrir, Azilal,
19:06Benimelal, Taroudan and Ifran.
19:08Heavy rain, sometimes stormy,
19:10will affect El Jadida,
19:12Rolipga, Firquiben, Cella,
19:14Casablanca and Renifra.
19:16In addition, strong gusts of wind
19:18are expected in Ouarzazate,
19:20Temrir, Erachidia, Tiznit,
19:22Sidi Ifni and Gelbim.
19:27This is the end of this news.
19:31See you next time.
19:46you
