00:17round of news. Here are the headlines.
00:19Morocco does not consider itself concerned by the decision of the Court of Justice of
00:24the European Union on agricultural and fishing agreements. The kingdom denounces
00:29errors and also legal errors. The facts suspect the details in a few moments.
00:36Clashes intensify in the south of Lebanon between Hezbollah and the Israeli army.
00:45Fears of an embrace in the Middle East are intensified two days after the first anniversary
00:51of the previous attack on Hamas on Israeli soil.
00:56In Tunisia, on the eve of the electoral silence, the civil society protested to denounce the
01:05growing violations of rights and freedoms. The accused, President Haitham Saeed, is also
01:11a candidate for his own succession. See you right away for the developments.
01:18Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. The Kingdom of Morocco does not consider itself concerned
01:23by the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union on agricultural and fishing
01:30agreements. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the content of these decisions contains
01:35obvious legal errors and errors of suspected facts. The highlights with Sourad Jalida.
01:43The European Court of Justice confirms the cancellation of the agricultural and fishing
01:49agreements between Morocco and the European Union. This definitive suspension is based
01:55on controversial motives. Morocco is not concerned by this case between the European Union on
02:00one hand and Polisario, supported by Algeria, on the other hand. Morocco also did not participate
02:05in any of the phases of this procedure and therefore does not consider itself concerned
02:10by these decisions. The so-called decision arouses many reactions. In a joint statement,
02:16the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the representative of the
02:21European Union, José Borrell, reaffirmed on Friday the commitment of the European Union
02:26in favor of more preservation and strengthening of its close relations with Morocco in all
02:31areas, in accordance with the Pacta Suntservanda principle, that is, the conventions must be
02:37respected. A rare act that underlines the importance of Morocco and materializes the importance
02:42of the partnership of the European Union with the Kingdom. The two officials also reiterated
02:47the great value that the European Union attaches to its strategic partnership with Morocco,
02:52which is long-standing, vast and profound. The two officials also indicated that Brussels
02:57takes note of the suspension of the European Union Court of Justice on the appeals against
03:01the suspension of the court on September 29, 2021, as well as the response to the demand for
03:06prejudicial decisions relating to the labeling of fruits and vegetables from the southern
03:10provinces of the Kingdom, adding that the European Commission is currently analyzing the
03:15suspensions in detail. On the other hand, the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, José
03:19Manuel Alvarez, emphasized the respect by the government of his country for the decision
03:24of the Court of Justice of the European Union, while defending the strategic partnership
03:28between the Kingdom of Morocco and the will to maintain it. Alvarez thus highlighted the importance
03:33of the strategic partnership between his country and Morocco for both parties, as well as the
03:37benefits it has brought to the fishing and agriculture sectors.
03:41Morocco demands that the Council, the European Commission and the Member States of the European
03:46Union take the necessary measures to respect their international commitments, preserve
03:50the achievements of the partnership and bring to the Kingdom the legal security it legitimately
03:55deserves as a partner of the European Union on several strategic issues. In this context,
04:00Morocco reiterates its constant position of not subscribing to any agreement or legal
04:05instrument that does not respect its territorial integrity and national unity.
04:12Yesterday, in Casablanca, Mohamed Salirqui launched a program to strengthen and also
04:18structure the genetic improvement of dairy cows, professional training and the creation
04:24of a regional unit for the training of dairy farmers and milk producers. The Minister
04:30of Agriculture, on the same occasion, signed a convention between his department and the
04:35Interprofessional Federation of the Moroccan dairy industry. Let's listen to what Mohamed
04:40Salirqui and Rachid Hrithat have to say about this.
04:44We have launched a structuring program for the dairy industry in order to be able to
04:53adjust all the difficulties we have had during this period of crisis, I would say several
05:04crises, which have impacted the dairy industry. This program is to find the balance of this
05:12industry. It is complete, it touches practically all segments of this industry, both in terms
05:22of production at the level of the breeder. The main objective is to sign two additional
05:28conventions, more than the eight that have been signed, to ensure the implementation of
05:33the contract program of the dairy industry. The first convention concerns the takeover
05:39by Morocco of the management of the artificial insemination center of INJMA. It will become
05:45a center managed by Morocco. The objective is to modernize it, to level it up in order
05:51to be able to produce 50% of the needs in doses of artificial insemination of dairy cows
05:57here in Morocco. There is also the second convention that concerns the signing of a framework
06:04for the implementation of a new computer system, CIMALE, which will give us all the statistics
06:09necessary for the management of the industry. We also took advantage of the visit of the
06:13Minister to distribute, for a ceremony of distribution of 19 vehicles, fully equipped,
06:18technical vehicles that will be given to cooperatives and at the national level, and this to improve
06:26dairy control, make proximity visits to breeders and above all, ensure an insemination with
06:33doses of INJMA of more than 50% success.
06:37During this time, the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs defends the strategic partnership
06:42between the EU and Morocco and the will to maintain it. José Manuel Alvarez highlighted the importance
06:49of the partnership between the two parties, as well as the benefits it has brought to the
06:54fishing and agriculture sector. The head of Spanish diplomacy emphasized the commitment
06:59of his country to the stability of relations with the Kingdom, stating that the Spanish government
07:05will continue to work with the European Union and Morocco to preserve and continue to develop
07:11this privileged relationship.
07:16Earlier this morning, the Hezbollah stated that it was engaged in clashes with Israeli troops
07:22on the Lebanese border at a time when new explosions were spreading in the southern
07:27suburbs of Beirut. The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, had warned yesterday that his
07:33allies, mainly the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Palestinian Hamas, would continue the fight
07:38against Israel, emphasizing the fears of an embrace in the Middle East. Two days before the
07:44first anniversary of the unprecedented attack of the Hamas on Israeli soil, Israel has
07:49claimed to have killed 250 Hezbollah fighters and hit more than 2,000 sites since it launched
07:56an offensive in the south of Lebanon on Monday, with nine of its soldiers in danger in combat.
08:03The Palestinian Hamas announced this Saturday the death of one of its commanders and his
08:10family in an Israeli strike on a Palestinian refugee camp near Tripoli in northern Lebanon.
08:17Saeed Atallah Ali, his wife and two of his daughters were killed in a strike at the Bedouin
08:23camp, according to the Hamas, the first in this region since the beginning of the conflict
08:29between the Islamist movement and Israel.
08:34Now, a tour of the presidential palace in the United States.
08:48Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, who appeared on Thursday with Republican Liz Cheney,
08:55who called on the Americans to choose the truth camp rather than Donald Trump.
09:01In the key state of Wisconsin, the daughter of former Vice President Nick Cheney, played the
09:07luxury spokeswoman for Kamala Harris in Ripon, where the Republican Party was imagined in 1854.
09:15Thirty-three days before the November scrutiny, the Democratic vice president and candidate
09:21hope that this kind of support to the conservative camp can influence the few remaining indecisive.
09:28At a meeting in Michigan, another key state, Donald Trump boasted to him his heavy tax
09:34projects on imports, supposed to protect American industries, and continued his violent attacks
09:41on immigration.
09:42At 33 days of the presidential scrutiny, the American electoral campaign is in full swing.
09:51A campaign marked by intense debates between Republicans and Democrats.
09:56Let's listen to Hassan Saoud, a political analyst and expert in security and strategy.
10:12Hassan Saoud, a political analyst and expert in security and strategy.
10:42Let's listen to Hassan Saoud, a political analyst and expert in security and strategy.
11:12Let's listen to Hassan Saoud, a political analyst and expert in security and strategy.
11:15Let's listen to Hassan Saoud, a political analyst and expert in security and strategy.
11:39The confrontation between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump becomes an identity battle.
11:45The vice president represents a Democratic Party in favor of the establishment of broad
11:50freedoms in terms of reproductive rights, including the right to abortion, and its rival
11:56reflects a conservative Republican Party that calls for the tightening of the laws when
12:02Democrats call for strengthening individual freedoms in the field of reproductive health.
12:09Republicans emphasize the need to preserve conservative family values by mobilizing voters
12:16against the hawkish movement carried by the Democratic camp.
12:20According to American media, the fierce debates on reproductive rights have accelerated the
12:26elections in favor of Democrats since the annulment of the Rudwig arrest.
12:42The end of the presidential election campaign in Tunisia.
12:46A few days after the hearing, electoral silence was declared for Tunisians living abroad
12:53and the voting process began.
12:55More details with Najwa Becham.
12:59On Sunday, October 6, Tunisian voters are waiting for the ballots.
13:04The outgoing president, Recess Haïd, who was democratically elected in 2019, is preparing
13:10to hold a second mandate.
13:12He will only have two opponents in front of him, one of whom is in prison and accused of
13:18falsification of sponsorship.
13:20As part of the presidential election, he is sentenced to 12 years in prison.
13:25During a press conference, the director of the electoral campaign of Haye Chizamel said
13:31confident about the pursuit of the race to the presidency despite harassment.
13:41I call on Tunisians to vote for Haye Chizamel.
13:44Each vote is one day in prison, two months for Haye Chizamel.
13:47The vote of Tunisians will therefore free all political prisoners and all journalists
13:53imprisoned for their opinions.
13:57As for the second candidate, Zoheyl Marzeoui, the slogan is sounding.
14:01Another Tunisia is possible.
14:03These electoral promises are articulated around a national, social and sovereign project,
14:10underlining that this project will be implemented within the framework of respect for rights and freedom.
14:19I did not lead an electoral campaign, but a militant campaign.
14:24I say to Tunisians, if today you are 40% afraid, know that if the situation continues,
14:31you will be 100% afraid.
14:33The solution is to close the parenthesis.
14:38In a speech pronounced at the headquarters of his electoral campaign,
14:43the outgoing president, Qays Saeed, stressed that this deadline represents a crucial opportunity
14:49to determine the fate of the country.
14:52Qays Saeed said that yesterday's enemy has become today's friend,
14:57denouncing behind-the-scenes maneuvers aimed at destabilizing the country
15:02and preventing the organization of the scrutin.
15:08I call on the entire Tunisian population to participate massively in the scrutin.
15:14It is the people who hold power, it is they who decide,
15:18and the people's choices will be decisive for the future of the country.
15:24The election campaign of the candidates for the Tunisian presidential election
15:29ends on Friday in Tunisia, 24 hours before the presidential scrutin,
15:35scheduled for October 6.
15:39We are still in Tunisia with the voters who will be called on Sunday
15:42to slip their ballots into the ballot box to elect their new president.
15:46Three candidates, including the outgoing president, Qays Saeed, are in Lisbon.
15:51He will face Zouher Maghzawi, a defender of pan-Arabism,
15:56a strong supporter of a true electoral base,
15:59and Dayat El Zamal, imprisoned on the day of the confirmation of his candidacy
16:04for falsification of sponsorship.
16:06He has recently been fined 12 years in prison.
16:10I invite you to listen to the point of view of Sirhem Badi,
16:13former Tunisian minister, political activist.
16:23It is Sunday, so Tunisia is about to elect its new president
16:27in a tense atmosphere, on the eve of the electoral silence.
16:31The civil society has protested to denounce the growing harm
16:35to the rights and freedoms of Tunisia.
16:38Najwa Bechat gives us the point.
16:43The events are accelerating in Tunisia.
16:45A few hours before the start of the electoral silence,
16:48Tunisians took to the streets to call on the Tunisian network of rights and freedoms.
16:53The demonstrators flattered several signs and shouted several slogans,
16:58criticizing the system in place and calling for its fall.
17:05Injustice still exists in Tunisia.
17:07There is no freedom.
17:09The opponents are behind the bars.
17:11Everything that is happening today forces us to go down to the streets to demonstrate.
17:17The demonstrators were mainly activists, unionists,
17:21opponents, lawyers, party leaders and non-governmental organizations.
17:27For them, this demonstration is an act of resistance
17:31against the initiatives of the candidate president
17:34to undermine democracy and to endanger free and transparent elections.
17:40No to this electoral masquerade.
17:42No to this anti-democratic process that took place
17:48during the preparation of this campaign.
17:52I am here, we are on the eve of the electoral silence.
17:56It is very important that people demonstrate and express themselves on this subject.
18:02Of course, as a director or artist,
18:05I am here because some freedoms have been violated,
18:09some freedom of expression has been affected by the article decree 54.
18:19The conditions of candidacy were difficult.
18:22Many candidates were excluded
18:24and even those who were sent back to the electoral race by the administrative court.
18:29The electoral law has been revised to block their way to the electoral race.
18:36The demonstrations continued throughout the electoral campaign
18:41in an exceptional scene that preceded the controversial vote.
18:46The presidential elections take place in a tense climate
18:49with a divided opposition between those who call for the boycott
18:52and those who call for widespread participation
18:55in order to change the political system.
18:58From Tunis, Najwa Bechat, Comédien.
19:02While the legislative elections anticipated from November 17 in Senegal are approaching,
19:07political negotiations are accelerating for the formation of alliances.
19:12The challenge is to win the votes and also to fail to draw the new power in place.
19:18The Senegalian opposition coalition would have appointed the former president,
19:22Makisal Tedelis, to these legislative elections anticipated in Senegal.
19:26Will there be a new confrontation
19:30between the two main actors of a several-year arm-wrestling,
19:35Makisal and Prime Minister Ousmane Soko?
19:38Let's listen to the answer of Mr. Sadibou Ndiaye, a specialist in political science.
19:43The confrontation is there.
19:46Makisal was the President of the Republic
19:49and he had a fierce opponent named Ousmane Soko.
19:52Ousmane Soko was practically at the forefront of the political scene
19:55when he was in the opposition.
19:57But even when he was prevented from presenting himself at the level of these elections,
20:01he had the intelligence to put in front of the scene his right-hand man,
20:07Bassir Oujama El Fahy, who finally won these elections.
20:10Now there is another battle that will unfold in these elections
20:14between the former President of the Republic and the current Prime Minister,
20:17who benefits from all the powers at the level of this executive.
20:21Will this confrontation be a healthy confrontation between these two men?
20:25Or will the Senegalese not be able to confirm what happened during these presidential elections?
20:30Because we also know that Ousmane Soko really surpasses the Senegalese political class
20:38because of his exit, because of his position in relation to internal problems,
20:42in relation to socio-economic problems.
20:44Now as Prime Minister, he has presented a project,
20:47a program that he intends to put in place in 2050
20:50to allow Senegal to be part of these emerging countries,
20:54but also to be part of these countries that will take responsibility for their sovereignty.
20:58Now this duel may be really grandiose in front of the Senegalese population
21:04because the Senegalese are mature on the electoral level.
21:08The Senegalese have been voting since the 18th century.
21:11Direction Le Mali, where following the floods and the rising waters of the Niger River,
21:16some residents are forced to move in pirogues.
21:20Settled in the bed of the Niger River, the Bozo community lives every day
21:25feet in the water, the point on the situation with our correspondent Mohamed Agnoko.
21:30Picking up his clothes, holding his shoes in his hands and walking in the water to reach his room
21:36has become the daily routine of the residents of Bozo Danka,
21:40in Badala Bougou, district 5 of the district of Bamako.
21:44Diene Bakoumari does practically everything in the water, even the kitchen.
21:50Our community loves water a lot, but this time there is too much water
21:55and we have nowhere to go, so we do practically everything in the water.
22:00I'm even cooking right now, but there is water.
22:03To fly to the rescue of this community, cut off from its mosque because of the rising waters,
22:09the Embassy of Canada in Mali, through the Open Mali NGO,
22:13made a donation of living and non-living of a value of 12 million francs.
22:18Today I announced a total contribution of 400,000 dollars,
22:24that is 174 million francs CFA on the scale of Mali,
22:28to respond to the situation of the floods,
22:31including 22 million francs CFA or 50,000 Canadian dollars,
22:35especially for the communities that are very affected here on the banks of the Niger River.
22:40The authorities congratulate that this action is held in the month of October,
22:46a month of solidarity and help to Mali.
22:49Today, it is to thank the Open Mali NGO,
22:53through the Embassy of Canada in Mali,
22:56and to say that the highest authorities of Mali think of all Malians where they are.
23:02On board this pirogue on the Niger River in Bamako,
23:05you can see right behind me the village called the village of the beautiful waters of the fishermen.
23:11The rise of the waters has caused serious damage here.
23:14Today, everything is done, the feet in the water, the kitchen, the household, everything is done, the feet in the water.
23:20With this rise of the waters, the populations of here who live from fishing exclusively,
23:25are struggling today to have fish and to meet their most basic needs.
23:31Mohamed Dagnoko for Median TV Africa, Bamako.
23:36And this concludes this newscast.
23:38Thank you for following it.
23:39The news returns on Median TV Africa.
