00:00We are still together on Mediantv. Thank you for staying loyal to us. Here are the titles
00:19of your newspaper.
00:20In Morocco, it's time for the National Industry Day. The cost of sending work has been given
00:25today to Ben Guerir. This meeting aims to promote a strong and resilient national industry
00:31fully exploiting the potential of the regions to create more value and wealth.
00:372023 was the hottest year ever recorded in the kingdom. This is what we can read in
00:46the annual report on the climate state in Morocco published today by the General Directorate
00:51of the Meteorology.
00:55The United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees warns against a real famine risk
01:01this winter in Gaza, while Washington threatened to suspend part of its military aid to Israel
01:08if the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian enclave did not improve after 30 days.
01:14Before developing these titles, you should know that the special representative of the
01:21NATO Secretary General for Southern Neighborhoods was received today in Rabat by the Chief of
01:28Moroccan Diplomacy, Nasser Bouhita. An opportunity seized by the UN leader to magnify the leadership
01:35of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Javier Colomina. Morocco remains an essential player in terms
01:43of security. He also qualified the kingdom as a very important partner for the Atlantic Alliance.
01:52At the head of a strong delegation, Andrew Ginzer, President of the United States Seas Conference
01:58is visiting the kingdom. Received yesterday by the Chief of Moroccan Diplomacy, he saluted
02:03the vision and wisdom of His Majesty King Mohammed VI for the development of the cities
02:09of Morocco, in particular those of the Moroccan Sahara. Together we listen to him.
02:13Just after you will have the reaction of Jim Ross, Mayor of Arlington, Texas, which is also part of the American delegation.
02:23We would like to thank His Majesty King Mohammed VI and the Moroccan people for their hospitality.
02:30We would like to thank His Majesty King Mohammed VI and the Moroccan people for their hospitality.
02:35Morocco is an essential ally of the United States. We appreciate the partnership between our two countries.
02:40This visit is an excellent opportunity to see in person the progress made in Morocco
02:45under the leadership of His Majesty the King. Our visit will also lead us to the Moroccan Sahara,
02:50where two memorandums of understanding will be signed with the cities of Dakhla and Laayoune.
02:55We are very enthusiastic about doing business in this country and we are grateful to His Majesty
03:01and his leaders for giving us the opportunity to discover so many things in the Moroccan cities of this great country.
03:07As you know, the United States officially recognizes the Moroccan sovereignty over the region.
03:12We are eager to meet the elected representatives of the region to hear about the autonomy plan
03:17and explore the means to collaborate. Today, we discussed with the Minister of Foreign Affairs,
03:22Mr. Borreta, the importance of local cooperation and local development.
03:28We have agreed that cooperation in cities is essential to restore bilateral relations between our two countries
03:34because it promotes the implementation of innovative solutions focused on collectivity to address common challenges.
03:40Morocco is the oldest friend of the United States and we are happy to affirm today our strategic relationship.
03:47...community-driven solutions for shared challenges.
03:52Morocco is the oldest friend of the United States and we are happy to affirm today our strategic relationship.
04:01I think it's evident that His Majesty puts tremendous value into the development...
04:09I think it's evident that His Majesty attaches great importance to the development of relations,
04:14not only with the Americans, but also with the Moroccan people themselves.
04:18I think it's the reason why we appreciate so much the opportunity given to us to visit the Minister of Foreign Affairs
04:25in order to continue to maintain excellent relations between the United States and Morocco.
04:30These relations give us the opportunity to be better together.
04:33This is what we believe as members of the Conference of the Mayors of the United States.
04:37We, the mayors, work together with the United States and I think it is by crossing cultural borders
04:44and by developing wonderful relations that we will all succeed in life.
04:48...together with the United States and that's where I think we are going to all succeed in life
04:56when we cross those cultural boundaries and develop wonderful relationships.
05:03Let's go to Morocco for the National Industry Day.
05:06The event is in its second edition.
05:08The work has been sent to Ben Guirir.
05:11The work is presided over by the head of the government, Aziza Khanoush.
05:15This meeting aims to promote exchanges on the new issues related to the development of the industrial sector
05:22in order to reach its full potential.
05:25It is also about promoting a strong and resilient national industry,
05:29fully exploiting the potential of the regions to create more value and wealth.
05:35Today, nearly 80% of the industry is focused on the El Jadida-Tanger axis.
05:42For El Moutawakil and El Baraka, this is a step to salute,
05:46even if the industrial potential of other regions of Morocco is still largely under-exploited.
05:51Together, let's listen to the Director General of Strok Industrie.
05:56Absolutely, but we must still note that even on this axis, there is evolution.
06:00Twenty years ago, we said that there was a focus on Kazak and Nitra.
06:05Today, we are still talking about El Jadida-Tanger.
06:08So, the axis has grown.
06:12This is still a very positive element that must be underlined.
06:16But indeed, other regions do not participate or do not exploit their full potential.
06:24But I think the exercise is not easy.
06:27An essential exercise is that it must be inclusive,
06:32that is, it must have long-term regional development plans.
06:36These plans must be worked on.
06:39It is inclusive, it includes all the parties,
06:41the representatives of the administration of the different departments.
06:45There are regions, there are local communities, universities,
06:50and everyone must work on these plans.
06:53And work on the potentials of each region.
06:57This is an exercise that must be done region by region,
07:00because we cannot say that there is no potential in the regions.
07:03There are potentials in the regions.
07:05But if we report all this on a regional development plan,
07:08then work on attracting investments.
07:11They can be public investments in infrastructure,
07:15but also private investors,
07:21if there are really potentials and interests.
07:24So I think the idea is there.
07:26People are working on it, but we have to go all the way.
07:29So we need inclusive regional development plans.
07:32And identify the potentials of the different regions.
07:36And then work to realize these development plans.
07:40And update them each time.
07:42I think there is no miracle.
07:44It's a long-term job.
07:46It's a job where the responsibility of the administration
07:50must lead this exercise.
07:52And the regions must be involved.
07:55For El Moutawakil El Baraka today,
07:58what is urgent is to review the industrial model
08:01to promote the emergence of national champions
08:04capable of carrying the ambitions of Morocco to the international level.
08:09Let's listen to him.
08:11Champions are one of the elements.
08:13I think one of the fundamental elements is to make these champions emerge.
08:19It's not easy if we don't re-examine the model.
08:22We have worked for several years on a specific case
08:26of the development of a national champion with the administration.
08:29We face difficulties that are related to a model of operation
08:34that does not really allow to go to a higher speed.
08:42I think, I insist on this question of reviewing the model,
08:47the contracts that we have inherited for years are reviewed,
08:51but they are not reviewed in depth,
08:53which causes problems and really prevents them.
08:57And I'm talking here about transverse industries.
09:01But now, in certain sectors where there is a carrier of activity,
09:06such as mines, automobiles,
09:09that's different because we have a leader who pulls the system.
09:14He imposes himself as a national champion and he does his job.
09:17He does it very well.
09:18I think on this side, there is nothing to say.
09:20I think, above all, because the real industry of a country
09:25is not the sectoral industries, it is the transverse industries,
09:29because they are important for the industrial sovereignty of the country.
09:35They export more importantly.
09:37And it is they who carry out, in a way, the industrial footprint of the country.
09:41When we are able to bring industrial solutions to different sectors,
09:46when the transverse is able to bring solutions,
09:49it will bring them here and abroad, to export.
09:54So, the sectoral sectors can export, but it's not that obvious.
09:59We don't see that the automotive sector will export elsewhere.
10:02It's not obvious.
10:03There may be things, but on the other hand,
10:06a national manufacturer that builds highways,
10:09will be able to do it in Mauritania, in West Africa and everywhere.
10:13So, really, there is a huge potential to exploit
10:18by allowing these industries and these transverses to develop.
10:24And I insist, I insist that it is the model that must be reviewed.
10:27It is not the investments that are needed, it is the model that must be reviewed.
10:33The General Directorate of Meteorology has published today its annual report
10:39on the state of climate in Morocco for the year 2023,
10:42a year that the document presents as the hottest ever recorded in the kingdom
10:47since the beginning of the 20th century.
10:50In terms of rainfall, the document tells us that 2023 has been the driest year
10:55for at least 80 years, with a rainfall deficit of about 48%.
11:01The context of Morocco is a global context,
11:04marked today by a continuous increase in concentrations,
11:08of greenhouse gases that contribute significantly to global warming.
11:16We continue this edition in Morocco, the kingdom that now authorizes,
11:20and for a limited period of time, the importation of red meat
11:23to face the crisis in this sector.
11:26The National Office for Health Security of Food Products
11:29has also published the list of exporting countries.
11:32These are about forty states, including those of the European Union,
11:37Argentina, Australia or Russia, and New Zealand.
11:41These imported meats will be checked at the border checkpoints.
11:46It should be noted that importers must have a place to store
11:52the meat provided by the competent authorities.
11:57Israel, which is opposed to all unilateral ceasefire,
12:00continues its strikes on the southern outskirts of Beirut.
12:04Its army also carried out intense raids on the city of Nabatier,
12:08in southern Lebanon, where at least 15 people were killed.
12:12Hezbollah is now in a violent fight at the border with Jhal,
12:16still in Lebanon.
12:18The Red Cross announced two injured in an Israeli raid
12:22during a coordinated mission with the UN.
12:27In recent days, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon
12:31has been the target of Israeli strikes.
12:34What the 16 countries of the European Union
12:37contributing to the ceasefire have denounced again today.
12:40It was during a video conference during which they expressed
12:44their wish to exert maximum political and diplomatic pressure
12:48on Israel in order to avoid new incidents.
12:52However, they made it known that they would remain engaged in the ceasefire.
12:57The humanitarian situation in Gaza is more than catastrophic.
13:01The Palestinian enclave is missing almost everything.
13:05We have to be on guard against a real famine risk
13:09during the winter at Mafikri.
13:14Lune Roy is the head of the United Nations Agency for Palestinians
13:18on alert this Wednesday against a real famine risk
13:22this winter in Gaza.
13:24Philippe Lazarini estimates that the famine in the Gaza Strip
13:28is artificially created and accuses Israel of actively preventing
13:32the convoys from crossing the border.
13:35Lune Roy's boss also said that some members of the Israeli government
13:39are making famine a weapon of war.
13:42After more than a year of Israeli offensive on Palestinian territory,
13:46Lazarini has seen a drastic drop in the number of food convoys
13:51in the south of the Gaza Strip.
13:54On average, there are 50 to 60 food convoys for 2 million people.
13:58This is a very small number to meet the needs of the Palestinians.
14:02I expect a very big humanitarian catastrophe
14:06because most adults and children are dying of hunger.
14:10And the Israelis are doing it on purpose.
14:14They are carrying out this operation to kill the people in one way or another.
14:18In Berlin, Philippe Lazarini said that children are bearing the brunt
14:22of this war and that 1 million minors are currently living in the rubble.
14:30We have made all this way to get a pot of lentil soup
14:34because the situation in our house is very difficult
14:38and we have no food.
14:40We have made a very long way to find something to eat.
14:45On the other hand, the United States has threatened Israel
14:49to suspend part of their military assistance
14:53if there is no significant improvement of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip.
14:57After 30 days, the COGA, the Israeli military body in charge of supervising
15:01civil affairs in the Palestinian territories,
15:05has declared that 50 trucks carrying humanitarian aid,
15:09including food, water, medical supplies
15:14and shelter provided by Jordan, have been transferred to northern Gaza.
15:20The victory plan unveiled today by the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky
15:24will be on the agenda of the discussions of the NATO ministerial meeting
15:28which begins tomorrow in Brussels.
15:32In his victory plan, Volodymyr Zelensky excluded any territorial concession to Russia
15:36and called on the West to reinforce its aid in a plan rejected by the Kremlin
15:40which calls on Ukraine, I quote, to wake up.
15:46According to the states, the result of the US presidential election
15:50could be decided next November.
15:54I am talking about Georgia, which experienced a strong influx yesterday
15:58on the first day of the anticipated vote.
16:02Three weeks before the national vote, the judge of this key state temporarily suspended
16:07the vote by imposing the manual counting of the voting results
16:11to, he said, avoid any disorder.
16:15Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are venturing
16:19out of their comfort zone today.
16:23The first with a Q&A session with a 100% female audience
16:27and the second with an interview on Fox News,
16:31the favorite channel of American conservatives.
16:35Harris has once again questioned Donald Trump's mental health
16:39after his rival shortened a campaign meeting,
16:43staying on stage for a long time to listen to his favorite songs.
16:51It's still horror, the horror of Nigeria,
16:55where more than 140 people perished in the north of the country
16:59after the explosion of a tanker overturned
17:04and the recovery of fuel.
17:08Accidents on unpaved roads are frequent in Nigeria.
17:12Last September, an explosion caused by the collision
17:16between a tanker and a truck carrying passengers
17:20killed at least 59 people in the west of this country,
17:24the most populous in Africa, and which is going through a serious economic crisis
17:28with a strong inflation, particularly due to the economic reforms
17:32Chad has seen 25,000 refugees fleeing from Sudan
17:36to escape the war during the first week of October.
17:40A record since the beginning of the year,
17:44the situation is far from stabilizing.
17:48After 18 months of a conflict of a rare violence
17:52between the army and the paramilitaries, according to the UN,
17:56the bar of 3 million people fleeing Sudan will be crossed
18:01In Mali, how to help the authorities
18:05to organize free and transparent elections?
18:09The question has brought together several political parties around the table.
18:13Back to the strong times of this meeting with Mohamed Dagnok.
18:17After the lifting of the suspension of party and political movement activities
18:21by the authorities of the transition, the politicians, with the support of the Committee
18:25of Pledge of Allegiance and the follow-up of reforms,
18:29The politicians meet after the coup d'etat
18:33together to discuss and take charge of the Malians' affair.
18:37Because today, others are making the world and the Malians believe
18:41that it is not possible with the politicians,
18:45that we cannot change the situation.
18:49And you know, in the world, whether we want it or not,
18:53it is the politicians who run the country, whatever the crisis.
18:58The forum will succeed and people will adapt
19:02and talk to each other about what Mali is doing.
19:06Because the politicians had no space to exchange.
19:10We had no space within our political parties.
19:14Beyond the proposals, it is above all about having
19:18a certain organization among the more than 200 political parties
19:22that exist in Mali.
19:27It is in terms of perspective, it is in terms of strategic reflection,
19:31it is in terms of vision that would allow us
19:35to better organize ourselves.
19:39You know, in a democratic government, it is the political parties
19:43who have a vocation to manage the country.
19:47The political actors wish the release of their 11 comrades
19:51detained for more than 4 months by the authorities of the transition.
19:55The Minister of Health of the Ivory Coast
19:59has proceeded today to launch a vaccination campaign
20:03against these diseases.
20:07It is an alarming situation.
20:11In less than two years, the Ivory Coast has counted
20:154,465 confirmed cases of measles with 182 epidemic cases.
20:19For the Ministry in charge of Health, it becomes crucial
20:23to protect the immunity of children against measles and rubella.
20:27A vaccination campaign against these two diseases
20:31will take place from October 18 to 24.
20:35The campaign targets about 7 million children aged 9 to 59 months
20:39across the country. The objective is clear,
20:43to contribute efficiently to the elimination of these two diseases.
20:47I launch a call to all parents and guardians of children
20:51against measles and rubella.
20:55Vaccination is an act of protection and prevention
20:59that saves lives. It is a right for children
21:03and a duty for parents
21:07and the State, which does everything in its power
21:11to make vaccines available in health centers.
21:15The vaccine against measles and rubella is effective
21:19and especially free.
21:23According to epidemiological surveillance data,
21:27the western region is home to many epidemic cases of measles
21:31and this health district does not have a good vaccine coverage.
21:35All these insufficiencies are taken into account by the Ministry
21:39in favor of this vaccination campaign.
21:43Vaccination centers will be installed in the neighborhoods of cities,
21:47towns and villages.
21:51We are going to Darla, where a meeting was held
21:55organized by the National Institute of Antiquities of Morocco.
21:59Several local and international partners took part in it.
22:03Scientific conferences and training on maritime heritage
22:07were at the heart of this African initiative
22:11which aimed to position Darla as a global pole in this field
22:15and to promote the skills of actors of maritime heritage
22:19at the national and African level.
22:23Morocco is designated as a High Country of the League of Female Champions
22:27of the African Football Confederation.
22:31Morocco will host this competition from 9 to 23 November.
22:35The host of this great meeting of African football
22:39by the Kingdom follows the successful organization
22:43of the Women's Cup of Africa,
22:47which also had a resounding success.
22:51This is the end of this newscast.
22:53Thank you for following it.
22:55The news continues on Median TV and Median TV Africa.
