00:00Hello and welcome to Mediain TV, thank you for joining us for a new newscast, here are the headlines.
00:24Antonio Guterres has saluted the respect of the ceasefire by Morocco and the exemplary cooperation of the royal army forces with Minusco.
00:32Back to the declaration of the UN Secretary General in a moment.
00:39Israel claims to have killed the alleged successor of Hassan Nasrallah at the head of the Lebanese movement.
00:44The Israeli army confirmed yesterday evening that it had eliminated Hashem Safieddine in a strike targeting Beirut in early October.
00:54The climate change worsens deadly floods in Africa.
00:57Details on the main lines of the study published by the World Weather Attribution network in a moment.
01:08The Republic of Equator suspended yesterday its recognition of the pseudo-RAST, which had recognized the entity Fantoche in 1983, with the opening of a so-called embassy in 2009.
01:18During a telephone interview, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Equator, Gabriela Sommerfeld, informed her Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bouletta, of this decision and of the letter of notification that she addressed to the so-called representation of the separatists.
01:31This decision of the Equator is part of the continuity of the dynamic driven by His Majesty King Mohammed VI over the last years, in order to devote the Moroccanity of the Sahara and the plan of autonomy as a unique base of solutions to this different regional.
01:49Antonio Guterres saluted the respect of the ceasefire by Morocco and the exemplary cooperation of the Amer Royal forces with Minusso.
01:56The UN Secretary General reminded that in February 2024, the special representative and the commander of the Minusso force proposed a cessation of hostilities during the month of Ramadan.
02:05The Fahars responded on February 26, reiterating their commitment to the concluded agreements, which leaves no doubt about the attachment of Morocco to the ceasefire.
02:15The Secretary General indicated that the Minusso has continued to strengthen coordination and cooperation with the Moroccan authorities, both civil and military.
02:27In Gaza, thousands of Palestinians have been trapped for days by the Israeli army.
02:31Dozens of Palestinian displaced people are heading north, in the midst of a landscape of devastation, towards a checkpoint held by Israeli soldiers in Jabalia.
02:40Dozens of thousands of people have been displaced from northern areas such as Jabalia, Beit Laya and Beit Hanoun, to other parts of the north of the Palestinian territory, such as the city of Gaza, says UNRWA spokesman Louise Wateridge.
02:52She estimates that 400,000 people are still trapped in this sector, repeatedly bombed by the Israeli army.
03:00New human figures in the Gaza Strip.
03:04Palestinian authorities report nearly 42,800 Palestinians killed in Israeli bombings since October 7.
03:10At least 74 people have been killed in the last 24 hours, and more than 100,400 people have been injured in the Palestinian enclave since the beginning of the war.
03:20In Lebanon, Israel claims to have killed the alleged successor of Hassan Nasrallah.
03:27The Israeli army confirmed last night that it had killed Hashem Safieddine in a strike aimed at Beirut in early October.
03:33Hezbollah said that contact with Hashem Safieddine had been lost since Israeli strikes on October 4.
03:41This confirmation of the Israeli army comes as part of a new visit to Israel by the US Secretary of State,
03:47who estimated that the elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar would offer, I quote,
03:52an important opportunity to put an end to the war in Gaza.
03:58And Russia has been hosting the annual summit of the BRICS in Kazan since yesterday.
04:02Vladimir Putin welcomes about twenty foreign leaders.
04:05An alliance of emerging countries that the Kremlin wants to see compete with Western hegemony.
04:10Cheyma Fikri tells us more.
04:14The leaders of the BRICS agree in the Russian city of Kazan.
04:18An opportunity in the north for Vladimir Putin to tighten ranks among his allies
04:23and to defy the predictions that saw the war in Ukraine and the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court
04:29transforming him into an excluded person.
04:31Putin has multiplied the meetings throughout the day in Kazan,
04:35meeting roundly with Indian, South African leaders or with his great Asian partner, Chinese President Xi Jinping.
04:44Over the past 75 years, Russian-Chinese relations have reached a level of global partnership and strategic cooperation.
04:55We can say with confidence that they have become a model
04:59for the way in which relations between states should be built in the modern world.
05:06For his part, the Chinese president saluted this Tuesday in front of his Russian counterpart
05:11the solidity of bilateral ties in a chaotic international context.
05:16Over the past decade, Russian-Chinese relations have resisted trials and difficult situations,
05:23have come a long way and have reached an unprecedented level.
05:27According to a Russian political analyst, this summit of the BRICS aims to show that Russia is not only far from being isolated,
05:35but that it has partners and allies.
05:37In this sense, the organization originally had four members, then five in 2010,
05:41namely Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
05:45The BRICS organization was joined this year by five countries,
05:49namely Ethiopia, Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
05:58Egypt occupies a very strategic position on the map.
06:01It connects the entire world to Africa.
06:03The departure of Egypt to the BRICS is a big step forward for the country
06:06and for all the other countries that are finally reuniting for peace,
06:10for economic growth, for investment, for a better world
06:13and to solve all the problems that developing countries are currently facing.
06:18They all come together to solve this problem.
06:23Faced with Western economic sanctions and with its main banks excluded from the international payment platform SWIFT,
06:31Russia pleads for the establishment of an alternative system in order to play up to the hegemony of the dollar.
06:39The COP can not solve the climate crisis.
06:42It can only be solved by profound changes in the world economy,
06:46according to Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Monday evening.
06:50Colombia is currently hosting COP16 on biodiversity.
06:54Nearly 140 ministers and a dozen heads of state are expected.
06:58The second UN conference on biological diversity
07:02has the ambition to unlock the necessary financial resources
07:05to respect the objectives of stopping by 2030 the destruction of nature by humanity.
07:14Peace with nature is the slogan of the COP16 on biodiversity
07:18which has been held since Monday in Colombia.
07:20Less known than the climate COP on the reduction of greenhouse gases,
07:24this meeting is also important for the future of our planet.
07:28So what can we learn today on biodiversity in the world?
07:32Element of response with Zine El Abidine Hosseini, climate change expert.
07:38It is a reality.
07:41It is a big problem for humanity, for the future of humanity.
07:46In addition to the report you mentioned,
07:51we also have the IPCC report on climate change
07:57and several university and academic centers
08:00that signal or that sound the alarm
08:04on this biodiversity that we are losing every day
08:10in several regions of the world because of climate change on the one hand,
08:15because of pollution and because of uncontrolled urbanization
08:20and mainly drought and desertification.
08:25So here we have this COP in preparation
08:31which will be organized in Saudi Arabia in December
08:35and that currently in Cali we are putting the big axes
08:42to specify action plans that will be treated
08:46between the parties that will be reunited
08:49in the biggest meeting that the Middle East will know
08:55of 197 participants or parties,
09:01196 states in addition to the European Union
09:06that will deal with the big problems
09:10that threaten the execution of the United Nations Convention
09:15on the fight against desertification.
09:20It is a meeting, it is a meeting of great importance
09:29that will be decisive just like the other COP
09:35because we have to make the difference between the climate COP
09:38which will organize its 29th session in Azerbaijan
09:46and the COP intended for desertification,
09:50especially the United Nations Convention
09:52on the fight against desertification which is number 16
09:57and of which the 15th was organized in Abidjan in Africa.
10:01Kamala Harris estimated that the country was ready
10:05to elect the first president of its history.
10:08In two weeks of the presidential scrutiny,
10:10the shots between the two candidates are more and more violent.
10:13Donald Trump has multiplied personal attacks against his opponent
10:16who is described as a stupid person
10:18who does not deserve to be able to present.
10:21Recent opinion polls seem to give a slight advantage
10:24to Donald Trump who leads his third consecutive presidential campaign
10:27at 78 years old.
10:29But this advance is systematically within the margin of error,
10:32difficult to draw conclusions from.
10:35And you will see there are men and women at those events.
10:38So the experience that I am having is one in which it is clear
10:43that regardless of...
10:45Climate change is aggravating deadly floods in Africa.
10:48This is what a scientific study published this Wednesday affirms.
10:51Climate change induced by human activities
10:54has aggravated floods that have killed hundreds and displaced.
10:58This year, millions of people have been displaced
11:00to Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Nigeria or even Sudan.
11:04And according to a study by scientists from the World Weather Attribution network,
11:07climate change has made this year's torrential floods
11:11about 5 to 20% more intense in the Niger and Lakhchat Basins.
11:20In Mali, the president of the transition and other senior officials
11:23recently promoted have received their attributes
11:25at the presidential palace of Kolumba,
11:27a ceremony to which our correspondent Mohamed Dagnoko took part.
11:31Watch.
11:32The president of the transition was the first to receive
11:36his attributes of general of the army,
11:38exceptionally, before proceeding to the galleys of the generals of the army corps
11:43and divisions, in the number of which his companions,
11:46Sadio Kamara, Minister of Defense, Malik Diaou,
11:49President of the National Council of Transition
11:52and Ismail Ouagé, Minister of Reconciliation.
11:55The recipients say they measure the heaviness of the task
11:59related to this new rank.
12:01The following rank, article 4 of the first article of the general discipline,
12:05dedicates the aptitude to perform well-determined functions.
12:09It gives an appellation,
12:11prerogatives and carries obligations.
12:14We measure with a very particular attention
12:18the immensity of the mission,
12:20the expectations of our constituents
12:22and the results expected by the nation.
12:24The new military acquisitions
12:26and reorganization within the troops
12:28are not foreign to these promotions.
12:31The rise in power of our army
12:34due to the new modern acquisitions
12:36and the forces of the troops
12:38exists a new reorganization of our defense tool
12:41and the reinforcement of the command chain.
12:44The rebuilding of our defense apparatus
12:47is at the origin of respect,
12:49fear and consideration of the danger of our country
12:52in the sub-region and in all of Africa.
12:55This solemn ceremony held at the presidential palace of Kuluba
12:58in front of the members of the government,
13:00representatives of diplomatic corps,
13:02religious leaders and customary leaders
13:04was an opportunity to recall the new dynamic
13:07in which Mali and the other countries of the AES are located.
13:11The Republic of Mali, the Republic of Burkina Faso
13:14and the Republic of Nigeria
13:16have together decided to mutualize their efforts,
13:20to harmonize their vision
13:22in order to reach a resumption
13:24in account of the concerns of their respective peoples.
13:27These degrees, especially those of the President of the Transition,
13:30have been saluted by a large population.
13:37It's time for the guest of the big news
13:39and we come back today on the report of the Security Council
13:42on the Moroccan star Antonio Guterres.
13:45Salute the respect of the ceasefire by Morocco
13:47and the exemplary cooperation of the Royal Armed Forces with the UN.
13:50So what to retain from this report
13:52and especially the latest statements of the UN Secretary General,
13:55Mr. Abdelrahman Mkawi, military expert and security affairs,
13:59is with us live from Paris.
14:02Hello.
14:04Hello, Miss.
14:07So in his report to the Security Council on the Moroccan star,
14:11the UN Secretary General saluted the respect
14:14of the ceasefire by Morocco.
14:16He said of an important statement
14:18that Antonio Guterres wanted to mention.
14:20What reading do you make of it?
14:24First, Mr. Antonio Guterres,
14:29UN Secretary General,
14:32is called to produce a report
14:35for the Security Council in October of each year
14:39on the issue of the conflict in the Moroccan Sahara.
14:44And in this report addressed to the Security Council,
14:48Mr. Antonio Guterres,
14:50who knows very well the issue of the Moroccan Sahara,
14:56before he was Secretary General of the ACR,
14:59the High Commissioner for Refugees,
15:02and he knows the obstructions made by the parties concerned
15:09in the completion of a pragmatic political solution
15:17mutually acceptable by the parties concerned.
15:22Mr. Guterres saluted in his last report
15:28Morocco and the exemplary cooperation
15:35of the Royal Armed Forces with the Minorsau.
15:40Mr. Guterres recalled the meetings
15:48held between the Minorsau and the Royal Armed Forces
15:54in Laayoune, Gadir and Goulmim,
15:59and also saluted the assistance of the Royal Armed Forces
16:07in the demining of 189,000.09 m².
16:15It is a great achievement of the Royal Armed Forces
16:22to ensure the free movement of people
16:26and goods between the parties concerned.
16:30Mr. Guterres highlighted the role of the FARC
16:39in maintaining peace,
16:41according to the ceasefire agreement
16:44signed between Morocco and the United Nations in 1991,
16:50and especially its military annex,
16:53and between the Polisario and the United Nations.
16:58So Morocco respects the letter of this agreement,
17:03despite the fact that the Polisario,
17:06a militia that neither holds the right to peace
17:10nor the right to war,
17:11is a militia that is really a subsidiary,
17:18an auxiliary of the Algerian People's National Army,
17:23betrayed this agreement during the events of Gargarate
17:29and violated this agreement with Morocco
17:37in the presence of the Minorsau,
17:39which is a peace force in charge of observing
17:44this ceasefire and also in charge of observing
17:48the neutrality of the tampon zone between Morocco and Algeria.
17:53We will come back to the tampon zone later.
17:56In this report, the UN Secretary-General also mentions
18:00a strengthened coordination and cooperation
18:03between the Minorsau and the Moroccan authorities,
18:06both civil and military.
18:08What can you tell us about this point?
18:12The cooperation with the parties is very important.
18:18There is an exchange of information between the troops of the Minorsau
18:25who are really scattered along the defensive walls
18:34of the territory of the Moroccan Sahara
18:36on the issue of demining,
18:38on the exchange between the Moroccan citizens
18:43kidnapped in Tindouf and their parents
18:47in the other Moroccan cities,
18:51Youn, Bojdour, Smara and Dakhla.
18:54So there is a civil and military cooperation
18:58in this operation between the Minorsau and the parties.
19:04There is also the issue of demining.
19:07This is a very important issue
19:10on which our enemies are trying to surf
19:14despite the fact that they have planted millions of anti-personnel mines
19:20along the border between Morocco and Algeria
19:25along the defensive wall.
19:28I had the opportunity to enter the seat of the Minorsau
19:33and to meet the Commander-in-Chief of this UN forces in Youn.
19:40He told me that it is a peace force that is on vacation,
19:47that has nothing, that is, there is no conflict,
19:52there is no war,
19:54only the war that is a bit nestled in the mentality of the Minister of Polisario.
20:02And there are from time to time skirmishes
20:06coming from the Mauritanian territory
20:10and it is a taboo that Morocco and its Mauritanian neighbors
20:16are trying to resolve wisely,
20:21with responsibility and mutual respect.
20:26So there is the intrusion and the obstructions
20:32made by the other parties, especially the Polisario and the PN,
20:37the Algerian People's National Army,
20:41to this force.
20:44No meeting, no cooperation.
20:50The Secretary-General mentioned these obstructions
20:55that the Minorsau meets with the other parties in conflict,
21:02especially the Polisario and the Algerian National Army.
21:06So to come back to the efforts made by the FARC
21:11in the matter of anti-mine struggle,
21:14beyond the exemplary cooperation,
21:16it is also the expertise of the FARC that is demonstrated in this sense
21:19and also what demonstrates Morocco's will
21:22to guarantee a safe and secure passage of goods and people in the area.
21:27So where are we today in terms of security,
21:31of circulation in the region?
21:34Yes, it is a very important question
21:38that has been disfigured by the propaganda of the Polisario
21:42and the enemies of Moroccan territorial integrity.
21:48The FARC, with their expertise,
21:52they really have a force of military genius to salute the passage,
21:58which managed to mine 149,000 and 89,000 square meters
22:05along the wall of defense.
22:10This mining, which had previously been done by civilian victims,
22:19will allow in the future good circulation of goods and people
22:25between Moroccan citizens kidnapped in Tindouf
22:30and Moroccan citizens in other provinces of the Moroccan Sahara.
22:35So it is a great effort that the Secretary-General of the United Nations,
22:41Mr. Antonio Guterres, has saluted.
22:44It is the demining.
22:46It is the demining that, unfortunately, the Polisario and its partners
22:52continue to plant anti-personnel mines in the Tampon area,
23:01which is a neutral area, a demilitarized area in principle.
23:06And that's what creates a lot of civilian victims,
23:11and even victims of the Polisario,
23:13because the Algerian army, which has implanted thousands of mines in this area,
23:21has not informed the Samilis of the Polisario of the map of the implantation of these mines.
23:28This really creates a set of victims in this demilitarized area,
23:37which even the 1991 ceasefire agreement and its military annex
23:43mention very well on the legal status of this Tampon area between Morocco and Algeria.
23:52In addition to these executions committed in the Tampon area,
23:55La Minurso also faced many obstructions from other parties.
24:00Antonio Guterres noted in particular that his special representative
24:05and the commander of the force of La Minurso
24:07were not able to establish contact with the Polisario in Raboni,
24:11according to practice.
24:13What conclusion do you draw from this?
24:16The police of the Polisario, under the leadership of the High Command
24:28of the Algerian People's National Army,
24:31has decided to boycott La Minurso since 1991,
24:37and not since 2020, since the events of the Gargarate war.
24:42The police of the Polisario is a militia that has neither the act of war nor the act of peace.
24:51It is at the level of the Algerian state that the peace or war with the FARC is decided.
24:59This means that these obstructions really create a lot of problems for the forces of La Minurso,
25:10simply for the repatriation of civilians or soldiers,
25:15militiamen of the Polisario who sometimes attempted to attack the FARC
25:24or to attack some Moroccan cities,
25:28such as the last time the attack of Smara twice, or the attack of Aoussard.
25:36These are minimal obstacles that are controlled.
25:41The current problem for the FARC is the intrusion of the Algerian police and the Polisario
25:55by the north of the Mauritanian territory,
25:59who are committing acts of war against the Royal Armed Forces,
26:06against the Defense Wall and against Moroccan civilians.
26:09We have seen that there are civilians who have been killed by Stalin's orcs
26:15launched by the Polisario,
26:17who were given by the Algerian army to this militia,
26:23which neither knows nor sees.
26:28Thank you Abdelrahman Nkawi for all these details.
26:31I remind you that you are a military expert and a security expert.
26:34Thank you for answering our questions.
26:39This is the end of this newspaper.
26:40Dear viewers, thank you for following it.
26:42Stay with us.
