00:00Hello everyone, glad to see you again on Mediain TV. Thank you for remaining faithful to us.
00:21Here are the headlines of your newspaper.
00:23In this edition, we will be in New York, where Omar Khilal has once again dismantled, piece by piece, the Algerian proposal to partition the Sahara,
00:32which is, according to the permanent representative of Morocco to the UN, an alibi for Algeria to eclipse the Rwandan state.
00:43The military escalation, as verbal, continues in the Middle East, where the Supreme Iranian Guide Ali Khamenei
00:49vowed yesterday to retaliate in a bloody way against any attack by the United States and Israel, which continues its offensive in Gaza.
01:01We are in J-2 of the US presidential building.
01:04The two candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, continue to court the voices of voters at the swing states.
01:11Their planes even crossed each other yesterday on the tarmac of Charlotte airport in North Carolina.
01:20The Algerian proposal to partition the Moroccan Sahara is a result of the usual diplomatic debauchery of Algeria.
01:32These are the words of Omar Khilal, the permanent representative of Morocco to the UN after the vote of the Resolution 2756.
01:41He also reiterated the Algerian proposal to partition the Moroccan Sahara.
01:46Omar Khilal, neither the former personal envoy of the UN Secretary General, James Baker, nor the current one, Stéphane de Mistura,
01:54were at the origin of this idea of partition.
01:57They were only messengers from Algeria who made of this proposal their favorite alibi to eclipse the Rwandan state
02:06and withdrew from international pressure as a leading party in this different region.
02:18We are back in the Kingdom, where the curtain fell yesterday on the 7th edition of the International Salon of Aeronautics and Space, Marrakech Airshow.
02:28A show that allowed to explore cutting-edge technologies in these areas, to attend static aircraft exhibitions.
02:36Hundreds of students participated in lectures hosted by the leaders of the aeronautical industry on this occasion.
02:44Omar Khilal, founder of a drone company, took part in the Marrakech Airshow. Let's listen to him.
02:58What we are aiming for is a drone that will be manufactured from A to Z, 100% in Morocco,
03:04with a technology at the level of software and hardware.
03:09Secondly, we would like an artificial intelligence to be embedded,
03:15which will allow this drone to understand the indications given by the military to carry out complex missions,
03:25i.e. automatic recognition of targets, for example,
03:29and also the identification of the best path to reach the target with great efficiency.
03:37Another strong point of our company is that we want to go as far as possible towards autonomy,
03:42i.e. even in areas where the GPS signal is not available,
03:47we would like to use computer vision technologies to allow the drone to locate itself automatically without the need for GPS.
03:58Another quality of our product, as it is a product that will be manufactured 100% in Morocco,
04:04is that the manufacturing cost is much lower compared to the products we buy today,
04:10which are manufactured abroad and which we currently buy.
04:14Today, we are at a fairly advanced stage.
04:21We have created our first prototype, which you can see here, in less than a year.
04:27It is our first prototype that allowed us to validate our first hypotheses
04:32regarding the manufacturing costs, the execution of the mission, the precision and also the market demand,
04:40by having contacts with the military, etc.
04:43Now we are at the second phase, where we are working on the second prototype,
04:49which will allow us to go towards industrialization and a larger-scale creation.
04:55We remain in the kingdom, where the elements of national security were intercepted on Friday
05:01at the Mohamed V airport in Casablanca by 100 French people of Algerian origin.
05:06The latter was the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by the French judicial authorities.
05:12According to Interpol, the 30-year-old suspect was actively wanted for his involvement
05:18in a case of death threats, material damage caused to other people's property,
05:24harassment of officials and infringement of other people's property.
05:31We continue this journal in Spain, where solidarity is organized.
05:35The mobilization is also ongoing.
05:38On site, after the violations that devastated the south-east of the country,
05:42where today King Felipe VI and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez are expected,
05:47this natural disaster has so far cost the lives of at least 213 people,
05:52a provisional estimate that could rise at any moment,
05:57because dozens of people are still missing.
06:0010,000 additional soldiers and police officers have been sent to the south-east of the country
06:04to come to the aid of the victims and help in the search for the missing.
06:10The military escalation continues in the Middle East,
06:14where the Supreme Iranian leader, Ali Khamenei,
06:19swore yesterday that he would respond in a bloody way to any attack by the United States and Israel,
06:26which has announced that it has captured a high-ranking agent of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah
06:32during an operation carried out by an elite unit in Lebanon.
06:35Saleh also continues his offensive in Gaza, in the north of this territory,
06:40where the sanitary conditions are deplorable.
06:43After more than a year of bombing,
06:45a vaccination center against polio has been hit
06:49and six people have been injured, including four children.
06:55Last straight line before the US presidential election.
06:58It is also the last weekend of the election campaign,
07:01and the atmosphere is more than electric.
07:06The US presidential election
07:14We are at J-2 of the US presidential election.
07:17The two candidates continue to be courteous to the voters at the swing states.
07:22Their planes even ran into each other yesterday
07:24on the tarmac of the Charlotte airport in North Carolina.
07:28The Democratic vice president, who could become the first American female president,
07:34Kamala Harris, called for a turn.
07:36I quote the page of a decade, sometimes chaotic,
07:39with the former 78-year-old Republican president and his rival, Donald Trump.
07:51And on his side, Donald Trump has renewed his attacks.
07:54We expected that against Kamala Harris, for the Republican candidate,
07:58a possible election of his rival would trigger a kind of 1929 depression
08:05and would lose jobs, houses and pensions to the Americans.
08:09The leader of the far-right rhetoric has again promised to leave America to the Americans.
08:16He said he was opposed to the war in the Middle East.
08:22Voting prevents unwanted presidencies.
08:25Thousands of women gathered yesterday in the streets of Washington
08:29to bring their support to Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.
08:35The Democratic candidate defended the right to abortion
08:38at the central theme of her campaign.
08:40And it was the one that was on the lips of all the protesters
08:45who took part yesterday in this march.
08:51This end of the campaign is marked,
08:53we have seen it, by an unprecedented verbal violence on the part of the two camps,
08:57as the editor-in-chief of Voice of America, Abdullah Mankar, tells us.
09:03Let's say, on the part of the two camps,
09:06in any case, in the opinion of many observers,
09:10this last week of campaign, in any case,
09:14seems marked by these skirmishes of the two camps.
09:20This started last weekend during a campaign meeting of the candidate Donald Trump
09:25when an actor compared the island of Puerto Rico to a floating island of garbage.
09:34And the day after, or the day after,
09:37President Biden, who is not a candidate,
09:40was also accused of treating Donald Trump's supporters as garbage,
09:47even though the White House later indicated
09:51that he was addressing precisely his supporters
09:54who expressed themselves during this Donald Trump rally.
09:57In any case, the tension has risen a bit, so to speak.
10:01And the last controversy dates from yesterday
10:05when the candidate Donald Trump used very harsh terms
10:10towards a Republican who supports Kamala Harris,
10:14in this case Liz Cheney.
10:16So the accuser today, in fact, Donald Trump said
10:21that he was rather referring to his bellicose position
10:26regarding conflicts such as Ukraine,
10:28but that he was sticking to what he said,
10:32which prompted many observers to call for a little restraint.
10:39This US presidential election would be the most indecisive in the history of the United States.
10:43Polls still fail to divide the two candidates in the White House.
10:48Let's listen to what Abdulrahman Dia,
10:51editor-in-chief of Voice America, has to say.
10:54Yes, it's true that this morning, for example,
10:57a last poll conducted by NBC
11:01shows that the two candidates are at 48% each,
11:06which is still extraordinary,
11:09three days before the presidential election.
11:13But this is at the national level,
11:15and even at the key states, these famous swing states,
11:18the polls are also extremely tight.
11:21None of the candidates seem to have more than two points ahead,
11:25which is insignificant from a statistical point of view,
11:28which is therefore on the verge of error.
11:31Indeed, this makes it very difficult to make any predictions.
11:36Anyway, we experienced 2016 with the polls,
11:39so we know that the polls are not necessarily reliable,
11:43but this year it is even more indecisive, indeed.
11:51British diplomacy chief David Lamy
11:55begins this Sunday a visit to Nigeria and South Africa,
11:59a visit focused on economic cooperation,
12:02where he will plead for a new approach
12:06in the relations between London and its African partners.
12:09This visit is the first on the continent
12:12for the Minister of Foreign Affairs
12:15since the return of the workers in power in early July in Roamune.
12:21In Ivory Coast, members of the Ivorian People's Front
12:24want to continue the partnership with the RHDP party in power,
12:28an announcement made after the party's president,
12:32Pascal Afinguesson, put an end to the partnership
12:35between the two formations, Maxwobi and Ferdinand Coq.
12:41The Ivorian People's Front, the Party à la Rose, is in crisis.
12:45Pascal Afinguesson no longer wants a partnership with the RHDP.
12:49He calls it a fraud for his party, the FPI.
12:53Today we no longer have the position of deputy of Goumerie.
12:57It was the RHDP that took it.
13:00We no longer have the position of mayor.
13:04It was the RHDP that took it.
13:07We no longer have the position of mayor.
13:10It was the RHDP that took it.
13:13And we no longer have the regional council of Morognon
13:16because of this list of municipalities that we have concluded together.
13:20So we have withdrawn, even in the electoral plenum.
13:23So a party that does not know how to share,
13:26that only applies a partnership to its exclusive profit.
13:30Why are we going to continue to stay?
13:33A point of view that is not shared by his comrades.
13:37The former Secretary-General and spokesman of the FPI,
13:40Issac Assangaré, is now at the head of a political current
13:43called Democracy and Valor.
13:45He is campaigning to continue the alliance with the party in power.
13:49The partnership allowed us to display some of our comrades
13:53as vice-presidents in some regions,
13:56as deputy mayors in some municipalities.
13:59We consider that the partnership is still, for us,
14:03an important strategic approach
14:06in the consolidation of links between the parties,
14:10but also in the formation of a peaceful environment
14:14for the elections to come.
14:16And we are totally committed to the survival of this partnership.
14:21One year after the elections,
14:23this crisis could weaken the FPI,
14:25which has already announced that it will introduce
14:28a presidential candidate in 2025.
14:31This week, we celebrated International Day
14:34for Care and Assistance to Others.
14:37On this occasion, in Mali, UNIFAM organized a three-day seminar
14:41in which we prepare media content producers,
14:45according to a report by Mohamed Enneko.
14:48The time devoted to taking care of others,
14:51especially children and elderly people,
14:54to participate in household activities,
14:57although it is not less important for the balance of our societies.
15:02We saw it with COVID-19 when we had to stay at home
15:06and take care of our loved ones, often sick.
15:09These are non-paid care activities,
15:12these are household activities that often take a lot of time
15:16and that can even constrain their participation in the labor market.
15:22For example, in 2019, the International Labor Organization,
15:27in its report, found that 606 million women indicated
15:33as the main reason for their non-participation in the labor market
15:37the weight of unpaid household care.
15:42Recognizing these unpaid household activities,
15:45taking them into account in public policy,
15:48can contribute to strengthening the care provided to others
15:51and to the country's economic dynamism.
15:54And today, we understood that it is something that contributes a lot to the balance of society,
15:57especially if it is recognized.
15:59The session on the strengthening of the capacity of media content producers
16:04on this concept of unpaid household work
16:07has changed the view of men and women in the media
16:11on this topic that deserves more space in their productions.
16:15It allowed me to know the concerns of these women
16:18who take care of their children at home,
16:21of these men who take their time to help their wives at home.
16:25It is really on this topic that I really liked
16:30and I really count on trying to exploit them in the coming days,
16:34trying to talk about it around me.
16:37The reduction of the weight of this unpaid household work
16:40through policies and mechanisms
16:43can contribute to the creation of wealth
16:46by promoting the participation of more people
16:49in the unpaid work market.
16:53Let's go to Senegal to talk about the celebration of the world of local consumerism.
16:57For its 4th edition, producers, artisans and visitors
17:00are gathered around the treasures of the Senegalese-Ousania terroir
17:05and Moussa Ndir talks about it in this report.
17:09Local consumerism, a lever of industrial development,
17:12competitiveness and resilience of the economies of the world,
17:16is the theme of the 4th edition of the world of local consumerism in Senegal.
17:24This event brings together actors of agriculture,
17:27livestock and artisans to promote the development
17:31and transformation of local Senegalese products.
17:35The world of local consumerism is very, very, very important.
17:39We want to take this opportunity to call on all Senegalese
17:44to do everything to promote local consumerism.
17:48It helps young people, it helps our brave women.
17:52The world of local consumerism is also a place of sharing
17:56where exhibitors present their creativity and know-how in various fields.
18:01This year, the region of Casamance was chosen as a guest of honour.
18:05First, we came as a guest of honour of the region of Ziguenchor,
18:10of which the association is part.
18:12We have various products from the MAD.
18:14We have the MAD syrup, which is conditioned behind you on 2 litres.
18:19We have the MAD nectar, which is conditioned on 3 formats.
18:24The 1 litre format, the 720 format and the 250 format.
18:28The demand from the customers is very strong.
18:30Now, our concern is to be able to satisfy the customers.
18:33For this new edition, the visitors appreciated the originality of local Senegalese products.
18:38It is a very beautiful exhibition.
18:40It allows people to consume local, to buy local
18:44and to discover that many regions in Senegal have other products
18:49than the cashew nuts, the MAD, for example, which is very popular,
18:54but like this lady from Ziguenchor who sells women's and men's clothes,
19:02the prices are affordable, the products are well made
19:06and the products are proudly Senegalese.
19:09Consuming local, to the detriment of imported food,
19:13this is the creed of this 4th edition to guarantee food security
19:18in the Emoa region.
19:21This is the end of this news report.
19:23Thank you for following it.
19:24In a few moments, a new point on the news.
