00:00Welcome everyone. Thank you for joining us for this big news.
00:20Here are the headlines.
00:23Israel targeted Hezbollah's headquarters in Beirut on Friday.
00:29Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, was targeted by Israeli TV.
00:37The Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Palestine,
00:41Mohamed Moustafa, said on Thursday in New York,
00:43during the 79th session of the UN General Assembly,
00:47his thanks and gratitude to His Majesty the King Mohammed VI,
00:50President of the COLSE Committee,
00:52for his efforts in favor of the Palestinian people.
00:58In Senegal, Prime Minister Ousmane Sanko promised
01:01investigations into widespread corruption.
01:03He accused the former government of manipulating public finances.
01:10Israel targeted Hezbollah's headquarters in Beirut on Friday.
01:19Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, was targeted by Israeli TV.
01:25According to a source close to the Lebanese movement,
01:29quoted by France Press,
01:31Hassan Nasrallah is dead.
01:33What we know for now is that four buildings of the Lebanese movement
01:37have been completely destroyed by the most violent strikes since the 2006 war
01:42between Israel and Hezbollah.
01:50Strikes are taking place a few hours after Benyamin Netanyahu
01:54said in front of the UN General Assembly in New York
01:57that Israeli strikes on Lebanon will continue
02:00until all objectives are achieved and until the threat of Hezbollah is put to an end.
02:05Hezbollah, the Prime Minister, Israel,
02:07has also, since the UN Tribune,
02:09threatened Iran with strikes in the event of an attack against its country.
02:14He promised to continue his war in Gaza against Hamas,
02:17a speech that has been boycotted by several delegations.
02:26Reactions continue in the face of this flame of violence.
02:29The path of diplomacy remains open.
02:32The Middle East has declared the US Secretary of State.
02:35The path of diplomacy may seem difficult at the moment,
02:38but it exists and, in our opinion,
02:41it is necessary to launch the US Secretary of State in a press conference.
02:46US President Joe Biden said that Washington
02:49had not been warned of these strikes in Lebanon
02:52and that it did not participate.
02:55On its part, Hezbollah is announcing new strikes on northern Israel,
03:05the first after the Israeli attack on its bastion.
03:10Hezbollah is launching rockets almost daily
03:13on northern Israel,
03:16promising to continue its attacks until the end of the attack on Gaza.
03:21The Israeli army said it had intercepted four drones
03:25fired from Lebanon towards the border area
03:28and intercepted a missile fired at night from Yemen.
03:37For Agnès Levallois, Vice-President of the Institute of Research and Studies
03:41of the Mediterranean and Middle East,
03:43Israel is ignoring the calls of the international community
03:48with one goal in mind, to end with Hezbollah.
03:54For Israel, it is about going to the end of the operation
03:57that it has launched now for more than a week,
04:00which consists, according to its words, of ending it with Hezbollah,
04:05as it had declared it wanted to end it with Hamas.
04:08We see Israel, which is in a logic of going to the end
04:12of what it considers to be its war objectives.
04:17In this context, it absolutely does not intend to stop the fire,
04:22especially since, as you have reminded in your words,
04:25the destruction and the bombings are important today against Lebanon,
04:31whether it is the south, but also more inside the land and up to the capital.
04:36So Israel considers that it is in a position of strength,
04:41that Hezbollah is seriously weakened after these different attacks,
04:46which started with the attacks on the Bipers and the Tokimoks,
04:50which put the entire chain of command in difficulty,
04:54since the communication between all those responsible was damaged.
04:59And so Israel today feels in a position of strength on the ground,
05:04and this is the reason why it absolutely does not want to hear about stopping the fire.
05:08The other reason, which is also a reason that allows us to understand this position,
05:15is that the ministers within the government,
05:18the ministers who represent the far-right and who support the coalition,
05:22because if they leave, Netanyahu falls,
05:26these far-right ministers consider that it is absolutely not necessary to negotiate,
05:31and they have already threatened to leave,
05:34to undermine the governmental coalition if Netanyahu agrees to stop the fire.
05:41The Israeli army continues to pillage this Saturday the southern outskirts of Beirut.
05:46Saturday at dawn, this is what the local channel Al-Manar said,
05:50it gave Hezbollah hundreds of families packed into cars,
05:54then the sector was in disaster following a call from the Israeli army to evacuate.
05:58On Telegram, the Israeli army said it carried out new strikes in the Beirut region
06:03targeting civilian buildings housing, according to it, arms depots, ammunition factories
06:08and command centers of Hezbollah.
06:11On its part, Hezbollah denied allegations from Israel of the presence of arms depots in residential buildings.
06:18The Israeli army also said it carried out strikes against targets of Hezbollah in the region of Tire and in the region of Al-Beqaa.
06:25In the news, also the Foreign Ministers of Burkina Faso, Karamoko Jean-Marie Traoré,
06:36of the Republic of Mani, Abdullahi Diop, of the Republic of Niger, Bakary Aou Sangare,
06:41and of the Republic of Chad, Abdelrahman Koulamalla,
06:44met yesterday in New York with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of African Cooperation
06:48and Moroccan Foreign Residents, Nasser Bouareta,
06:51they congratulated each other on the progress made in the framework of the operationalization
06:56of the international initiative of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI
06:59to promote the access of the states of the Sahel to the Atlantic Ocean.
07:05In a joint statement, sanctioning the work of this meeting on the operationalization
07:11of the international initiative of the sovereign,
07:13on behalf of the 79th General Assembly of the United Nations,
07:17the Ministers of the States of the Sahel saluted the work carried out by the National Force Tasks
07:22of Morocco, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Chad
07:25during the first meeting of the National Force Tasks held in Rabat on June 5 and 6, 2024.
07:35The growing international dynamic in favor of the Moroccanity of the Sahara
07:40confirms the irreversibility of a political solution
07:44to this different regional based exclusively on the autonomy plan
07:48and within the framework of national sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom.
07:52This is what the Minister of Foreign Affairs of African Cooperation
07:55and Moroccan Foreign Residents, Nasser Bouareta,
07:58stressed yesterday in New York.
08:00This constant dynamic calls on the United Nations to create harmony
08:06and bring the UN world closer to reality on the ground
08:10which confirms that the Moroccan autonomy plan presented by the Kingdom in 2007
08:15is the only and unique solution to this conflict
08:19in full respect of the territorial integrity of Morocco and its national sovereignty,
08:24said Bouareta in a statement to the press,
08:27still on the verge of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.
08:34And also know that the Prime Minister,
08:38Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Palestine,
08:40Mohamed Moustafa, expressed Thursday in New York
08:43on the verge of the 79th session of the UN General Assembly
08:48his thanks and gratitude to His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
08:51President of the Al-Quds Committee,
08:53for his efforts supported in favor of the Palestinian people.
08:57The Prime Minister, a Palestinian,
08:59was particularly pleased with the tireless efforts
09:02that Morocco is making in favor of the Holy City.
09:05Through the Al-Quds Agency,
09:07Moustafa indicated that his meeting with Bouareta
09:09was an opportunity to evoke developments in the Middle East
09:13and the urgency of a ceasefire to stop the cycle of violence in the region.
09:22It is official, the French President will make a state visit to Morocco in a few weeks.
09:27An announcement made by the Elysée,
09:29Emmanuel Macron will make his official visit at the end of October
09:33in order to seal the bilateral relationship,
09:36said the French President,
09:38adding that this visit will be an opportunity
09:41to confer to the partnerships of exception between Rabat and Paris
09:44a renewed and ambitious vision covering several strategic sectors.
09:51And at the UN, the support for the Moroccan autonomy plan continues.
09:55Last in date, that of the Netherlands,
09:57which reiterated their position in favor of this Moroccan initiative,
10:01described as a very serious and credible contribution
10:04to the political process led by the United Nations.
10:07A position reiterated by the head of Dutch diplomacy,
10:11for whom Morocco is a very stable partner in the region.
10:16Kaspar Weltkamp,
10:19has met with his Moroccan counterpart, Nassar Bouhreda,
10:22on the fringes of the UN General Assembly.
10:30I would also like to point out that the Kingdom of Morocco
10:32and the Office of the United Nations in the fight against terrorism
10:35held their first session of strategic dialogue,
10:38a dialogue co-chaired by the head of Moroccan diplomacy,
10:42the president of this Dutch department.
10:45This partnership is part of the broader commitment of Morocco
10:49to contribute to the multilateral framework of the fight against terrorism,
10:52in line with the high orientations of His Majesty the King Mohammed VI.
11:02The news is also in Sudan.
11:0418 dead, this is the latest human testimony of the attack of paramilitaries
11:08on a market in El Fasher in the west of the country.
11:11The situation in Sudan, a theater of a war between the FSR and the army,
11:16has been the subject of discussion for more than a year.
11:18This week at the UN General Assembly in New York,
11:22the United States, the European Union, France and Germany are worried.
11:26Foreign interference calls for an immediate ceasefire
11:29in this country where the war has killed tens of thousands
11:32and displaced millions.
11:37We now go to Tunisia,
11:40where the Parliament held an exceptional session
11:43devoted to the revision of the electoral law
11:46on the day of the presidential election.
11:48At the heart of the debates, a bill of law
11:51submitted by 34 deputies
11:53aims to modify the mechanisms of management of electoral litigation
11:57by removing the current administrative tribunal.
11:59Competent in favor of the Court of Appeal,
12:02the Court of Appeal calls for an initiative that arouses
12:05a strong reaction within civil society and legal bodies
12:08that denounce a hasty approach
12:11that could destabilize the electoral process.
12:14La Joie aux méchants.
12:18Neutralize the role of the administrative tribunal
12:21to secure the electoral process and preserve social peace.
12:25This is what the parliamentary launchers of this initiative
12:28claimed during a plenary session in the Parliament.
12:31The MPs also stated that they had proposed the bill
12:35because they felt that the administrative tribunal
12:39was no longer impartial
12:41and was oriented towards the cancellation of the election results,
12:44which could plunge, according to them,
12:46the country into chaos and a constitutional void.
12:52The task of the administrative tribunal today
12:54is mainly to send back to the presidential race
12:57the candidates who have been excluded from the race
13:00by the electoral commission.
13:02Today, we find that the administrative tribunal
13:05examines a case that does not exist.
13:08This is proof that the administrative tribunal is no longer neutral,
13:11but rather plays a role of orientation of the elected representatives.
13:14We are witnessing today a debate
13:16between the administrative tribunal and the electoral commission.
13:19This puts us at risk of legitimacy.
13:23I will vote against this law.
13:25I will vote against this law
13:27because the electoral law cannot be changed during the election year.
13:31Today, we are talking about a change during the election week.
13:35They say that there is an imminent danger.
13:37We say that the danger cannot be faced by changing the laws.
13:42This decision of the Parliament
13:44has aroused the anger of the opposition
13:46and groups of civil society
13:48who have again protested against the bill
13:51in front of the Parliament's seat.
13:54The least we can do today
13:56is to protest
13:58and to contest
14:00what the current government
14:04wanted to do
14:06and therefore
14:10transfer the competences of the administrative tribunal
14:13to the judiciary.
14:15Because the judiciary is under the dominance of the executive powers.
14:20So we denounce this procedure
14:24which is a dangerous and serious precedent.
14:28It should be noted that the Superior Council of the Magistrate
14:32expressed its opposition to any modification of the electoral law
14:36during the election period.
14:38This position was communicated
14:40in response to the Parliament's request
14:43for an opinion on the issue.
14:45On the other hand, the President denies the accusations of his opponents
14:50and says that he is leading a battle of liberation
14:53and that he is fighting the traitors, the mercenaries and the corrupt.
14:58While the President's supporters
15:00accuse the administrative tribunal of not being impartial,
15:03it is criticized by its opponents
15:05for having used both the electoral body
15:08and the judicial system
15:10to ensure victory
15:12by suffocating its rivals
15:14and by intimidating the other candidates.

15:22In Senegal, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko
15:24promised investigations on the generalized corruption
15:28which, according to him, is under the old power in place.
15:31Ousmane Sonko directly accuses the former executive
15:34of having manipulated the figures of public finances.
15:37We were far from imagining
15:39that things were so catastrophic,
15:41said the Senegalese Prime Minister.
15:44The Minister of Justice, Ousmane Diagne,
15:48said that the substances of manipulation
15:50seem to repeat a criminal qualification
15:53that competent judicial authorities
15:55will have to determine.
15:59In Senegal, Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko
16:02promised investigations on the generalized corruption
16:05which, according to him, is under the old power in place.
16:08Ousmane Sonko directly accuses the former executive
16:11of having manipulated the figures of public finances.
16:14More details with Regis Moukila and Cheikh Endaou.
16:19Six months after the takeover of power,
16:21the news about the corruption
16:23of the former executive
16:25Six months after the takeover of power,
16:27the new authorities wanted to present
16:29the final report of the state of affairs
16:31of the Senegalese public finances.
16:33The head of the government
16:35draws up a slightly dazzling picture
16:37of the outgoing regime.
16:39Between corruption and financial fraud,
16:41605 billion francs CFA used
16:43and not found in the accounts
16:45or the transmission of false information
16:47to benefit from the withdrawal
16:49of 1,800 billion francs CFA.
16:52The authorities that we have replaced
16:55have lied to the country
16:57and have lied to the partners
16:59by falsifying the public figures,
17:03by giving erroneous data,
17:07in this case, the public deficit,
17:11which is twice what has been announced
17:16during all this time.
17:20The public debt,
17:22which is 10 points higher
17:24than what has been announced.
17:27And in a constant way,
17:29from 2019 to 2023.
17:35These alarming figures are accentuated
17:37by the situation of the central state debt
17:39at the end of the year 2023.
17:41A debt that rises to 15,664 billion francs CFA,
17:46i.e. 83% of GDP,
17:48thus exceeding nearly 2 billion
17:50of the figures announced.
17:52The objective of the current authorities
17:54is to bring the state debt
17:56below 70% of GDP
17:58in a reasonable time frame.
18:00The most important thing
18:02for the signing of a country
18:04is the trajectory.
18:06The trajectory of this debt
18:08that will be reduced
18:10and the credibility of those
18:12who are committed to reducing
18:14this debt in a sustainable way
18:18and that is, let's say,
18:20favorable to a healthy and prosperous economy.
18:25All these actions will not remain unpunished
18:28if we believe them to be the guard of the bones.
18:30Investigations will be carried out
18:32and the responsibilities placed.
18:34The facts will be debunked
18:36in a particularly transparent,
18:38clear and objective way.
18:40The responsibilities placed
18:42and the people likely
18:44to have committed
18:46contrary or infractions
18:48with the criminal law
18:50will be subjected
18:52to all the consequences.
18:56After making the State
18:58the place of Senegalese public finances,
19:00Ousmane Sonko and his government
19:02meet on October 7,
