00:00This is a production of the French TV channel Mediun TV.
00:16The information continues on Mediun TV Africa.
00:19Thank you for joining us for this news.
00:22Here are the headlines.
00:23The mediator institution of the Kingdom of Morocco
00:26has announced the end of the crisis that has been shaking
00:28the medical faculties for more than 10 months.
00:31Details in a few moments.
00:36Newly elected 47th president of the United States,
00:39Donald Trump announced that he would make Suzy Wiles
00:42his chief of staff at the White House.
00:45Sexagener would be the first woman to occupy this prestigious post.
00:52Israel will reopen a new checkpoint in the Gaza Strip.
00:57This is what the spokesman for the Department of State,
01:01Matthew Miller, said a few days after the expiration
01:04of a US ultimatum on increasing humanitarian aid to Palestinians.
01:09We will meet again shortly for the development.
01:17Welcome ladies and gentlemen.
01:19Let's open the news in Morocco,
01:21where in a statement this Friday,
01:23the mediator institution of the Kingdom
01:26of Morocco has announced the end of the crisis
01:28that has been shaking the medical faculties for more than 10 months.
01:32This positive momentum comes after the presentation
01:35by the new Minister of Higher Education,
01:38Azeedine El Midawi,
01:40of a proposal that responds favorably
01:43to all the claims of medical students,
01:47including the question of the duration of the training,
01:52according to the data of the Coordination of Students in Medicine.
01:57TUTEL, of course, would have proposed,
02:01through the mediator of the Kingdom,
02:05to apply the reform of the duration of training
02:09to new promotions without retroactive effects.
02:16The day after the royal speech,
02:18the Council of Governments did not delay in meeting
02:21to speed up the implementation of the royal vision.
02:26The Executive wants to ensure the coordination
02:29and convergence of the attributions
02:31to respond to the new needs of the Moroccan community abroad.
02:36This is what was stated at the opening of the works
02:39of the Council of Governments,
02:41Azeedine El Midawi, which I propose to listen to.
02:46In execution of the high instructions
02:48of His Majesty King Mohammed VI,
02:50contained in the speech of the Sovereign
02:52on the occasion of the 49th anniversary of the Green March,
02:56we held a meeting to examine the mechanisms
02:59necessary for the implementation of the royal vision
03:02concerning the management of affairs
03:04of the Moroccan community living abroad.
03:07We have established an action plan,
03:09including coordination meetings
03:11that will begin to bear fruit in the coming weeks.
03:16In the royal speech of His Majesty King Mohammed VI
03:19on the occasion of the 49th anniversary of the Green March,
03:23he highlighted several significant initiatives
03:26concerning Moroccans living abroad.
03:29These are key economic actors
03:32who, thanks to their financial contributions,
03:35play a fundamental role
03:37in the social and cultural development of Morocco,
03:40as Ayoub Deraza, Youssef Hammoumou explains
03:44in this story by Alaa Ben Ali.
03:47Moroccans living abroad
03:49represent a real engine of development of the Kingdom.
03:52Their attachment to their identity,
03:54their support for investment
03:56and their promotion of the image of Morocco internationally,
03:59in short, their patriotism,
04:01was saluted by the Sovereign in his last speech,
04:04qualifying them as ambassadors and key actors.
04:11There is a palpable evolution
04:13of the dynamic of Morocco in all areas.
04:16The novelty today,
04:17following the royal speech of the Green March,
04:19is the restructuring of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad
04:23and the creation of the Mohamedia Foundation
04:25of Moroccans living abroad.
04:27The first is a constitutional institution
04:30and must be a force of proposals,
04:32and the second will study and apply these proposals.
04:38The Moroccans of the world
04:40represent about 15% of the total number of citizens
04:44and contribute to more than 8% of GDP.
04:48The State attaches great importance
04:50to encourage their investment in their country
04:53through a global and integrated policy
04:55that provides support mechanisms
04:58and improves communication with project leaders.
05:03We are trying to organize
05:05a set of activities and initiatives
05:07that concern Moroccans living abroad.
05:10We are also participating in the creation of cultural and identity links
05:15with the sons and daughters of Moroccans living abroad,
05:18in order to allow them to know more and more
05:21their cultural heritage and preserve it.
05:24Our role is also to support
05:26and guide Moroccans living abroad
05:28who want to invest in Morocco,
05:30and this by facilitating the administrative procedures
05:34and the access to service establishments.
05:39With the recently announced reforms,
05:41the impact of Moroccans living abroad
05:43will be strengthened,
05:45both economically, socially and culturally.
05:48These new measures aim to optimize their contribution
05:51while improving their experience and interaction
05:55with their country of origin.
05:58The Moroccan population is now estimated
06:01at 36,828,330 inhabitants,
06:07which is an increase of 3 million since 2014.
06:12This represents an 8.8% increase in 10 years.
06:18According to the latest census of the population,
06:21approved by the Council of Government
06:23in a decree presented by the Ministry of the Interior,
06:26the number of households also recorded
06:30an increase of nearly 2 million this year,
06:33to reach 9,275,038.
06:36For foreigners living in Morocco,
06:38the total number rises to 148,152,
06:42which is an increase of 71%.
06:48What to retain of the results of the general census
06:51of the population and inhabitants of 2024?
06:55Ahmed Azirar, economist and director of research
06:59at the Moroccan Institute of Strategic Intelligence,
07:02gives us some elements of the answer.
07:05It is quite natural.
07:08It is the conjunction of a set of factors,
07:12including, of course, the decrease in fertility,
07:18the delay in marriage, migration,
07:23the change of social habits,
07:27the change of family background,
07:32since the big family no longer exists,
07:36the nuclear family, urbanization,
07:41and families have realized
07:46how important it is to educate well,
07:50to spend money on children.
07:53All of this, of course,
07:56has caused the rate of demographic growth to fall.
08:03It is a natural evolution.
08:06It is an evolution that is being verified
08:10around the world, of course,
08:14because there is also education,
08:17the education of women,
08:19the work of women.
08:21All of this, of course,
08:24is the result of these factors
08:27and their conjunction,
08:30because with the evolution of time,
08:33the rate of demographic growth has fallen.
08:36Is this good for the country?
08:40That is another question.
08:42Direction to the United States.
08:44Following his election as 41st president,
08:47Donald Trump announced on Thursday
08:49that he would make Suzy Wiles architect of his campaign,
08:54his chief of staff at the White House.
08:57He stressed that sexagenergy would be the first woman
09:00to occupy this prestigious post,
09:02an honor well deserved according to him.
09:04On his side, Joe Biden committed himself yesterday
09:06to ensuring a transfer of peaceful and orderly power
09:09with his predecessor Joe Biden,
09:11who therefore invited Donald Trump to the White House
09:14on an unspecified date
09:16to prepare for the arrival of the next administration
09:19in which controversial figures such as
09:22Elon Musk and Robert Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr.
09:25could play important roles.
09:30In the Middle East, a few days after the expiration
09:33of the United States' ultimatum
09:36on increasing humanitarian aid to the Palestinians,
09:40Israel will reopen a new checkpoint
09:43in the Gaza Strip,
09:45according to the press.
09:47The spokesman for the State Department,
09:49Matthew Miller,
09:50the United States had addressed
09:52in a letter dated October 13th
09:54a series of demands to Israel
09:56to allow the increase of humanitarian aid,
09:59giving him 30 days to respond.
10:02Without which, the United States is threatened
10:04to suspend part of their military assistance to Israel.
10:11As the conflict in Gaza
10:13has spread to the Middle East,
10:15what can be the consequences
10:17of Donald Trump's victory in this war?
10:20Let's listen to the analysis of Zakaria Abu Dhabi,
10:22professor of international relations
10:24and political science
10:26at the Université Mohamed V in Rabat.
10:29I think that already Mr. Donald Trump,
10:32before he was elected last Tuesday,
10:35massively, of course,
10:37had asked for a cessation of this conflict.
10:41Because this conflict has shock waves,
10:44not only at the level of the Middle East,
10:46but beyond.
10:47And here we can say that
10:49it is in his interest to stabilize the situation.
10:52We know very well
10:53that he has particular relations
10:55with Mr. Netanyahu,
10:57whom he met a few months ago.
11:00But at the same time,
11:01the situation today is certainly much more complex,
11:05with the entry into action,
11:08in quotation marks, of course, of Hezbollah,
11:11consecutively, of course,
11:13to the amplification of the situation
11:15in the Gaza Strip,
11:17and also the entry of another actor
11:20on stage, that is Iran.
11:22With the Houthis,
11:24with also, by extension,
11:26the involvement of actors
11:27who are not well identified,
11:29whether in Syria,
11:30whether in Iraq,
11:32it is certainly today
11:34not of duty,
11:35but I would say of the responsibility
11:37of the President of the United States
11:39to contribute,
11:40as it was the case historically,
11:43to do something to stabilize the situation.
11:46It won't be difficult,
11:47but I believe,
11:48according to my own analysis,
11:50it is in the interest of Mr. Donald Trump,
11:53once officially settled in the White House
11:56on January 20, 2025,
11:57to work very energetically
12:00to stabilize the situation,
12:02unless there is a ceasefire,
12:03and then to examine
12:05all possible scenarios
12:07to engage in a dialogue
12:08between Palestinians and Israelis,
12:10and to achieve this goal,
12:12as desired,
12:13notably by the Arab League,
12:14to create two states,
12:15side by side,
12:16a Palestinian state
12:17and an Israeli state.
12:19It is easy to have
12:21air strikes from the army
12:24in a counteroffensive
12:25against Boko Haram.
12:27We have deaths and injuries
12:29in the regions,
12:31so in the ranks.
12:32Terrorists, of course,
12:33have confirmed today,
12:35also in the face of the press,
12:37the president,
12:38also on Thursday,
12:39President Mohamed Idris Deby Hidno.
12:42The Chadian president
12:43had personally launched
12:45Operation Askanet
12:47in response to an attack
12:49by the Boko Haram group
12:51against the army in Barkharam.
12:54It is located near the Nigerian border.
12:57It is a matter of tracking,
12:59searching
13:00and destroying the capacity
13:02of Boko Haram
13:04and its supporters,
13:06assured last week
13:08the Chadian Prime Minister,
13:10Abdel Rahim Birem Hamid.
13:15Another sport,
13:16with the qualifying rounds
13:17of the Cannes Maroc 2025.
13:19The selector Walid Regraghi
13:21appealed to 26 players
13:23in anticipation of the matches
13:25of the Moroccan team
13:28against Gabon on November 15
13:30in Franceville and Lesotho.
13:32Three days later,
13:33at the Stade d'Honneur d'Oujda,
13:34indicates the Moroccan Royal
13:36Football Federation.
13:37Some changes are to be noted
13:39in relation to the October group.
13:41Ayub El Khatib,
13:42goalkeeper of the Asphard,
13:43honors his first call-up.
13:45Adam Massina,
13:46defender of Torino,
13:47returns to the Tanière
13:48since his last passage
13:49in June 2022.
13:51Or the return of injuries
13:53of the offensive midfield
13:54of Real Madrid,
13:55Brahim Abdel Kader Diaz.
13:57Our meetings to come
13:59are part of the fifth
14:01and sixth days
14:02of the group B qualifiers
14:03for the Africa Cup
14:04of the nations
14:05scheduled for December 21, 2025,
14:07as well as January 8,
14:092026 in Morocco.
14:15And it's time
14:16for the guest of the big news.
14:18Back on the victory
14:19at the US presidential election
14:21of Donald Trump,
14:22who will have to swear
14:24on January 20
14:26but his return to the White House
14:28leaves skeptics
14:29certain powers
14:31and international organizations.
14:33To talk about it,
14:34we meet live from Paris
14:35Jean-François Poli,
14:37lawyer, director
14:38of the Mediterranean Institute
14:40of Law and Geopolitics.
14:42Hello and thank you
14:43for responding to our invitation.
14:46Thank you, hello.
14:50So, the return to the White House
14:52of Donald Trump
14:53worries NATO
14:54and transatlantic relations.
14:55Could his US-first approach
14:57reduce and even translate
14:59partial commitments
15:01from the United States
15:03and from the Atlantic
15:05regarding the alliance,
15:07given that the Republican
15:09insists on the objective
15:11of 2% of the GDP
15:13dedicated to defense
15:15for all NATO members?
15:20Yes, Donald Trump
15:21had already announced it
15:22in his previous mandate
15:23when he said
15:24that NATO member states
15:26should finance
15:28their own defense.
15:30So, we are in a continuity
15:32of an approach
15:34that is present,
15:36even if, of course,
15:38it is hard to imagine
15:40that the United States
15:42disengages from NATO
15:44because it is an instrument
15:46of their foreign policy
15:48that is extremely important
15:50and they will not engage
15:52in a financial approach
15:54that is perhaps designed
15:56in a slightly different way.
15:58But, in my opinion,
16:00their commitments
16:02will perhaps be reduced
16:04if we call on the States
16:06to devote
16:08a part of their budget
16:10to the financing
16:12of the common structure.
16:14And also, this return
16:16to the affairs of the 47th US president
16:18worries, in particular,
16:20to face the promise
16:22of Donald Trump
16:24to impose customs rights
16:26on European products
16:28by entering
16:30the United States.
16:32What consequences
16:34will this have
16:36on the measures,
16:38on the European economy
16:40which is dependent
16:42on exports?
16:46Yes, it can have
16:48extremely painful consequences
16:50for the European industry.
16:52This European industry
16:54is already very affected
16:56by the increase
16:58in the cost of energy
17:00due to sanctions
17:02in France.
17:04We have even seen
17:06that many countries,
17:08even in Europe,
17:10or many industrialists
17:12would rather set up
17:14their production centers
17:16It is obvious that
17:18if exports are hit
17:20by significant customs rights,
17:22it will not
17:24fix the situation
17:26and it will be up to
17:28the Member States of the European Union
17:30to act
17:32from a political point of view
17:34to try to avoid or mitigate
17:36knowing that the US president
17:38has indicated
17:40during his previous mandate
17:42and during his current campaign
17:44that he is extremely concerned
17:46about the economic situation
17:48in the United States
17:50and to strengthen
17:52this economic fabric
17:54that he was able to indicate
17:56during his first speech
17:58that we must help the country
18:00to heal.
18:02I will fight for you
18:04and I will build
18:06the golden age of America.
18:08It is a strong desire
18:10to favor and favor
18:12and the European States
18:14will have to make decisions
18:16or act politically
18:18to defend their interests.
18:20Sino-American relations
18:22should enter a more turbulent
18:24and uncertain period.
18:26It should be noted that
18:28the new owner of the White House
18:30has promised today
18:32to apply customs rights
18:34of at least 60% on all products
18:36concerning, of course,
18:38those that are imported
18:40from China and the United States.
18:42How do you explain this trade war
18:44that Donald Trump intends to wage?
18:46I explain it
18:48by what I just mentioned
18:50the concern to strengthen
18:52the American economic fabric
18:54and to bring back production centers
18:56to the United States
18:58because many production centers
19:00have moved to China
19:02for many years
19:04and of course it will take some time
19:06for these production centers
19:08to come back to the United States.
19:10One way is to increase
19:12the cost of imports
19:14from China
19:16and for the industrialists
19:18to say
19:20it is much more useful for us
19:22because we will have
19:24a much stronger margin
19:26to produce locally.
19:28President Donald Trump
19:30is impragmatic
19:32and will not go
19:34to a direct confrontation
19:36with China.
19:38These may be campaign statements
19:40to mobilize voters
19:42but then we will have to examine
19:44precisely what will happen
19:46because President Trump
19:48is pragmatic and will measure
19:50all the elements
19:52and all the issues
19:54even if the very principle
19:56of making more expensive
19:58the import of products
20:00coming from abroad
20:02will probably be applied
20:04in order to increase
20:06the American economic fabric
20:08and to make America stronger
20:10as he has indicated.
20:12The CEO of the Oval Office
20:14wishes once again
20:16to get the United States
20:18out of the Paris Climate Agreement.
20:20Could this withdrawal
20:22hamper European efforts
20:24to address climate change?
20:26President Trump
20:28has always shown
20:30some skepticism
20:32by saying
20:34that he was not
20:36of human origin
20:38but he was part
20:40of a general movement
20:42or a natural evolution.
20:44So it is logical
20:46that he is in this position
20:48it is also a constant.
20:50So
20:52it will have
20:54consequences or not.
20:56Maybe it will have
20:58favorable consequences
21:00maybe the energy
21:02will be less expensive
21:04because we will have less scruples
21:06to use certain forms
21:08of production
21:10and it can encourage industrialists
21:12to focus more on innovation
21:14than on a
21:16economic
21:18pursuit
21:20in terms of potential
21:22or related to climate
21:24that would occupy them more.
21:26So the consequences
21:28will be measured
21:30but a priori
21:32there will be scientific uncertainties
21:34even if there is no good reason
21:36to raise these doubts.
21:38But President Trump
21:40shares this opinion
21:42with a number of scientists
21:44about the origin
21:46of this climate change.
21:48So the consequences
21:50will be measured
21:52because we cannot do
21:54too much.
21:56The pessimists
21:58have been too pessimistic.
22:00So let's be careful.
22:02Regarding
22:04the Ukrainian case
22:06Donald Trump repeated
22:08that he would rather
22:10settle this war in Ukraine
22:12in one day.
22:14He also mentioned a significant reduction
22:16of American aid to Kiev.
22:18Your opinion on this?
22:20President Trump is also
22:22in the continuity of his actions
22:24even in his previous mandate
22:26because he avoided
22:28US commitments
22:30in terms of conflict.
22:32So he is in the same logic
22:34and in connection with his statement
22:36in which he will dedicate himself
22:38to the US
22:40to develop its economic fabric.
22:42So all the resources
22:44will be dedicated
22:46to developing
22:48the American industrial fabric
22:50or at least to reconstituting it.
22:52In this context
22:54it is obvious that
22:56the funds will be
22:58perhaps rarer
23:00regarding their shipment to Ukraine.
23:02What can characterize
23:04President Trump
23:06is that he
23:08demonstrated in his previous mandate
23:10that he is not in favor
23:12of armed conflicts
23:14and he does everything to avoid them.
23:16He tries to devote himself
23:18more to commercial relations
23:20even if
23:22he may not be able to
23:24operate a complete
23:26upheaval overnight.
23:28But he is pragmatic
23:30and he has good relations
23:32with President Putin.
23:34President Putin sent a message
23:36of support
23:38and the conflict
23:40is at a current stage
23:42where there is some rot
23:44and we have to get out
23:46of this
23:48if we want
23:50negotiations to be undertaken.
23:52This is what President Trump
23:54clearly indicated
23:56that one day he would stop the conflict.
23:58This means
24:00that US support
24:02even if it exists
24:04will have to be reviewed
24:06in its modalities
24:08and will take other forms
24:10with a will to end
24:12this center of tension
24:14which is present
24:16with Russia.
24:18Regarding the conflict
24:20in Gaza, the US president
24:22stated that the Israelis
24:24should end what they started
24:26and promised to give
24:28Israel the necessary support to win.
24:30Will we see
24:32a turnaround of the situation
24:34in the Middle East?
24:36The words
24:38you quote are quite ambiguous
24:40because we do not know
24:42if he asked the Israelis
24:44to work
24:46before he was elected
24:48so that there would be
24:50no more difficulties
24:52or if it meant
24:54something else.
24:56What is certain
24:58is that Donald Trump
25:00has always supported Israel
25:02but he is also able
25:04to, as he is pragmatic
25:06in all areas, including
25:08foreign policy,
25:10to have initiatives
25:12on the international level
25:14and the international public opinion
25:16is very sensitive to what is happening
25:18in Gaza
25:20with this human disaster
25:22these bombings
25:24these numerous civilian victims
25:26and it becomes
25:28it is always intolerable
25:30the victims
25:32and there the tension is extreme
25:34and Donald Trump
25:36insofar as he is
25:38not very favorable
25:40to make sure
25:42that the situation
25:44calms down
25:46maybe to put out the fire
25:48and with negotiations
25:50we will recall that
25:52President Trump was able
25:54to get
25:56Israel to meet
25:58with Arab countries
26:00in the context of the Abraham Accords
26:02so in the context of his pragmatic action
26:04everything is possible
26:06and he has this ability
26:08to evolve very quickly
26:10with firmness
26:12to bring together
26:14states or political personalities
26:16that we
26:18did not think
26:20could intervene
26:22so things will necessarily
26:24evolve
26:26we hope in a favorable way
26:28to the peace and protection
26:30of the victims
26:32and in this domain
26:34we will have to wait
26:36to see what will be taken
26:38Of course, the installation of the 47th
26:40President of the United States
26:42leaves the international opinion skeptical

26:46Jean-François Poli
