01:11 We meet again right now for the development.
01:14 [Music]
01:16 Welcome ladies and gentlemen, on the occasion of the New Year 2024.
01:19 His Majesty, King Mohammed VI, addressed cards of wishes to heads of state and government
01:25 of brotherly and friendly countries, expressing their wishes for a good year of peace and prosperity.
01:31 The sovereign received cards and messages of wishes from the leaders of these countries
01:37 as well as high international personalities who presented to His Majesty the King
01:43 their wishes for health, happiness and more progress and prosperity for the Moroccan people.
01:49 The world's major capitals celebrated with dazzling fireworks in 2024
01:58 while the world population today exceeds 8 billion
02:02 in the hope of putting an end to the high costs of life and world conflicts.
02:08 In New York, thousands of Badawis attended the traditional descent of the famous ball
02:14 in crystal from Times Square, all illuminated.
02:18 In Sydney, self-proclaimed world capital of the New Year,
02:21 more than a million fireworks have invaded the port's estuary
02:25 at a time when in Paris, more than a million people have gathered on the Champs-Élysées.
02:30 Pyrotechnics also illuminated the sky of Auckland, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Mali, Jakarta and Rio de Janeiro.
02:40 Israel and the Gaza Strip entered the year 2024 without pause in the fighting
02:49 while the Israeli army continues its intensive piloting of the Palestinian territory.
02:54 The Ramas fired rockets on Tel Aviv and southern Israel.
02:58 According to the Ramas, 24 civilians were killed and several dozen others injured
03:03 on New Year's Eve by Israeli strikes that targeted the center of Rannounes
03:08 and at least seven other cities on the Gaza Strip, it was said.
03:13 The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced yesterday
03:16 that 21,822 people, mostly women and minors,
03:20 who have been killed since the beginning of the war and 56,451 injured.
03:27 Who talks about war in Gaza?
03:30 He also talks about social but above all economic repercussions.
03:34 After 13 weeks of strikes, how much did this conflict cost Israel and its allies?
03:39 Here is a part of the answer in this story by Shaima Fikry.
03:43 Human losses in Gaza continue to grow.
03:47 However, these are not the only repercussions of a war that lasts almost three months.
03:52 The economic aspects behind this attack have powerful implications for Israel,
03:56 the West Bank and the entire Middle East.
03:59 Construction, which usually relies on the Palestinian workforce of the West Bank,
04:04 is practically stopped.
04:06 Since Israel launched its offensive to eradicate Hamas,
04:09 it has suspended the work permits of more than 100,000 Palestinians.
04:13 Economists interviewed by the Washington Post estimate
04:16 that the war cost the Israeli government about $18 billion,
04:20 or $220 million per day.
04:23 Zvi Eckstein, former adjoint governor of the Bank of Israel
04:26 and professor emeritus at the University of Tel Aviv,
04:29 recently analyzed the figures with colleagues
04:31 and reported that the impact on the government's budget,
04:34 including the decrease in tax revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023,
04:39 was $19 billion and would probably reach $20 billion in the first quarter of 2024.
04:45 The cost for Gaza, although clearly devastating, has not yet begun to be calculated.
04:50 About half of the buildings and two-thirds of the houses on the Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed.
04:55 1.8 million people have been displaced and more than 20,000 people have died,
05:01 according to the Ministry of Health of Gaza.
05:03 Meanwhile, 10 Yemeni rebels were killed yesterday at the Red Sea,
05:08 after the US Army claimed to have sunk three of their ships
05:12 in response to attacks that targeted a container port of a Danish transporter.
05:17 Yairia Sari, a military spokeswoman for the Yemeni rebels,
05:21 said on social media that 10 of their members were killed
05:25 in an attack by US forces on three Yemeni naval forces.
05:30 This is the first deadly strike against the Houthis since the United States announced in early December
05:36 the establishment of a multinational naval force responsible for protecting the Red Sea vessels
05:42 through which 12% of world trade flows following repeated attacks by the Houthis.
05:49 In Ukraine, where the Russian invasion is approaching its second anniversary,
05:56 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky promised yesterday in his New Year's wishes
06:01 to ravage the Russian forces that invaded his country,
06:06 a speech that took place while Moscow and Kiev were witnessing a escalation of violence
06:10 with an unprecedented attack on Saturday that killed 24 people in Belgorod, Russia,
06:15 after a missile attack against Ukraine on Friday,
06:20 which was qualified as a massive attack by Kiev and which killed about forty people.
06:24 Russian President Vladimir Putin remained defiant in his speech.
06:29 He said on New Year's Eve that Russia will never back down,
06:34 praising the first-line troops.
06:37 President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix Tsekedi,
06:42 elected Olamin President of the Republic with 73.34% of the votes,
06:47 according to an official score announced yesterday in Kinshasa by a qualified scrutiny
06:52 of the election by the opposition, which demands its cancellation.
06:57 According to these figures from the electoral commission,
07:00 which must be confirmed by the Constitutional Court,
07:03 Félix Tsekedi has been in power since 2019,
07:06 largely ahead of his main challenger, the former governor of Katanga,
07:11 Moïse Katumbi, credited with 8.8% of the votes, according to the CNI.
07:16 The participation rate of the elections of December 20 and 21 is 43%.
07:24 And speaking of which, Eric Ndou, Director of the Communication and Speech Center
07:30 of President Félix Tsekedi, came back on this victory of his leader.
07:34 It is first of all a very beautiful victory, you said it, 73.34%,
07:39 it is a real plebiscite, that means that the Congolese people responded to the call,
07:45 understood the vision and the message of President Tsekedi,
07:50 to renew their confidence in him so that he can lead the destiny of the country
07:55 for another five years.
07:57 So it's really a feeling of satisfaction, joy, but also great responsibility.
08:02 Because you know, when the people give you such confidence,
08:06 with such popularity, 73.34% of the votes,
08:12 it means that you have to do the job, you have to deliver,
08:17 and according to the expectations of the population.
08:20 That's why, as of last night, during his speech,
08:23 President Tsekedi started by thanking the Creator,
08:27 because he is a believing and pious man.
08:29 Then he thanked the Congolese people for the courage and the mobilization
08:33 during the election of December 20.
08:36 And then he told the Congolese that this mandate would be placed under the theme of action,
08:41 action to implement and realize these commitments,
08:45 especially, mainly, the creation of jobs, the increase in purchasing power,
08:50 and also to strengthen security and the protection of the sovereignty of the RDC.
08:56 And in the face of the accusations of the opposition,
08:59 which speaks of "simulating elections" and demands its cancellation,
09:02 Eric Nyung-Nu also provides his answer.
09:05 I would like to say that it is the role of the opposition to oppose each other,
09:09 but unfortunately in Congo, this opposition, which is to say,
09:12 a part of the opposition, because there were 26 candidates at the beginning,
09:15 there were some resignations, if we can say, there are 9 who contest,
09:19 but if you want, the vast majority of candidates for the presidential election
09:23 did not contest and more and more, you will see,
09:26 most of them present their congratulations to President Tsekedi,
09:31 because with such a victory, it is clear that this victory reflects the will of the Congolese population.
09:38 And then, above all, there is an element that is not wrong.
09:41 Yesterday, Sunday, December 31, when we proclaimed these results,
09:47 it is the first time that we do it in the day, in a completely transparent way,
09:51 and without, for example, a security mobilization, the army and all that around,
09:56 it is the first time since the electoral cycle of 2006 that elections are so transparent,
10:02 peaceful and inclusive. And so, from this point of view, we have seen the popular alias in Kinshasa,
10:08 but also in many cities in the province, people have been vacating their occupations,
10:12 those who were happy have rejoiced, and that proves that the population is happy,
10:17 the population agrees, it does not feel blurred,
10:20 that is to say that its inspiration and also its will has been expressed in the ballot boxes.
10:25 From this point of view, I would simply say that a certain opposition to Congo
10:29 does not want to admit these elections, but the electoral process allows for contestation.
10:36 They have two days to present their grievance in front of the constitutional court,
10:42 which will speak out in ten days to give the definitive results.
10:49 Until then, I mean, we are waiting very serenely.
10:53 The president is elected since there was a proclamation of provisional results.
10:57 We are waiting for the definitive results, but by then we would like things to happen in peace
11:03 and that the opposition does not agitate, an opposition that in some respects asks the people to rise up,
11:08 but it will not work because the Congolese people have acquired a certain democratic maturity
11:14 and everything will happen in peace, we are quite serene.
11:17 In the conflict in Sudan, General Mohamed Hamdan Taglo, commander of paramilitary forces,
11:23 surrendered to Djibouti, a country that is making regional efforts to end the fire between belligerents.
11:28 Djibouti is therefore the last step of the tour in Africa, from the east of General Taglo,
11:34 after Ethiopia and Uganda, two countries that are making double efforts to bring to the negotiating table
11:40 the leaders of the paramilitary forces and Abdel Fattah Al-Boran, general of the Sudanese army,
11:45 who plunged Sudan into chaos and humanitarian emergency with 12,000 dead.
11:52 In Sudan, still facing the health and humanitarian crisis, the United Nations has called for an urgent action.
12:00 The UN estimates that more than 7 million people have been displaced since the beginning of the conflict,
12:05 with 1.5 million who have found refuge in neighboring countries.
12:10 I read it here for the details.
12:12 The WHO once again fires the alarm bell for Sudan.
12:18 The head of the World Health Organization called on Friday for an urgent action
12:23 to face the aggravation of health and humanitarian crises in the country
12:27 and asked the international community to increase its financial aid.
12:32 The situation is at a rhythmic pace in Sudan.
12:41 When we visit the camps of the displaced, we remain petrified by the hunger that reigns there.
12:46 200 million people are facing an increased risk of food shortages.
12:50 6 million people are already starving.
12:53 According to the WHO, Sudan needs urgent aid of more than 75 million dollars
13:08 to face the current food crisis.
13:11 On a political level, the UN Security Council adopted in early December
13:16 a resolution in favor of which it ended the mandate entrusted in 2021
13:20 to the United Nations Integrated Mission for Assistance in the Transition to Sudan.
13:25 We are at a critical stage.
13:31 The World Food Programme is paying more every day to help the populations living in Khartoum and Darfur.
13:37 Despite these difficulties, the World Food Programme has so far managed to reach more than 3 million people.
13:43 Since mid-April, the country has been going through a bloody war
13:51 that opposes the army to paramilitary forces of the Rapid Support Forces.
13:54 Following the Khartoum fights, more than half a million people took refuge further south, in the state of Al-Jazeera.
14:01 However, recently, the Rapid Support Forces have advanced in this state
14:05 and attacked the city of Wad Madani on December 15.
14:08 They forced more than 300,000 people to flee again.
14:12 The UN estimates that at least 7.1 million people have been displaced since the beginning of the ongoing conflict,
14:17 of which 1.5 million have been found in refuges in neighboring countries.
14:21 About 12,000 people have been killed in this conflict, according to a cautious estimate by the UNGAC-LED.
14:27 In Japan, a total of 21 earthquakes of a magnitude greater than 4 have hit the center of the country today.
14:35 The authorities have launched a tsunami alert and ordered the population to take refuge on the highlands.
14:42 About 33,500 homes are deprived of electricity around the epicenter of several powerful earthquakes,
14:49 so they have brought in local electricity suppliers.
14:53 Several highways have been closed to traffic.
14:57 The high-speed train traffic between Tokyo and the Ishikawa department, where the earthquakes took place,
15:03 was also interrupted, according to Japan Railways.
15:07 Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about insurance in Morocco.
15:13 During the end of 2023, several of these structures competed for offers to attract more customers.
15:19 How to make the right choice in the face of a time of demand?
15:23 I'm afraid I can't say more.
15:25 The insurance sector reached its peak at the end of the year.
15:31 The fierce competition between insurance companies resulted in a variety of offers presented to insurers.
15:37 An important demand is recorded by the sector, and the insurance sector in N'vi is at the top of the podium.
15:43 I came to get a normal insurance, but I preferred to pay a little more to benefit from more offers.
15:50 The prices are affordable.
15:52 This sector is in high demand at the end of the year.
16:05 Automobile insurance accounts for 60% of the insurance companies' work volume.
16:10 This sector is fiercely competitive with all the companies in the market.
16:13 The end consumer does not feel the increase in prices.
16:16 This competition exists for the consumer's interest, who benefits from offers and packages that offer significant guarantees at reasonable prices.
16:23 Those who benefit from offers and packages that have important guarantees and very appropriate insurance.
16:32 The contribution of the insurance sector to GDP exceeds 4%,
16:36 while the automotive insurance sector accounts for about 17% of the total insurance proposed,
16:42 which makes it one of the most important insurance requirements.
16:45 The abundance and diversity of offers raises many questions about the most suitable insurance choice conditions.
16:52 The national insurance market is a free market.
16:59 This is why the insurance premium can be doubled from one company to another.
17:02 The most important thing is to compare the prices of the premium and the services offered after the insurance.
17:08 According to the Authority for the Control of Social Insurance and Social Reserves,
17:14 the premiums issued by insurance and insurance companies in Morocco
17:18 rose to about 42.9 billion dirhams at the end of September 2023,
17:23 an increase of 1.4% compared to the same period last year.
17:29 Let's take this time to Senegal, where the government has restated its commitment
17:34 to the implementation of its participation in the COP28,
17:36 the decision of the states to operate an energy and health transition,
17:40 but also problematic for the country,
17:42 which is towards the exploitation of its oil and gas judgments.
17:46 Marème Ayopé-Cherndaou for the explanations.
17:49 It is through this meeting that we share with the actors
17:55 the major conclusions from the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, COP28,
18:01 a meeting that was held in Dubai with a global commitment of the states
18:06 to operate an energy transition, non-fossil, a major issue for Senegal.
18:12 A country like Senegal, which is beginning to be classified as a country producing oil and gas,
18:20 if we tell it that, while it has not yet provided universal access to all its population,
18:27 such as access to energy, that it can no longer use this gas,
18:31 because it will no longer receive financing internationally,
18:35 but also that this gas will no longer be exploited by countries
18:39 likely to be the market for this gas, you understand that there is a problem.
18:43 We say no, we need equity, we need to be able to follow a path
18:48 that is fair and equitable for all countries.
18:51 We will arrange all our grants for all countries to register us in this path,
18:57 but we must take into account our particularities and our basic rights.
19:01 COP28 was a success according to the Senegalese delegation.
19:07 The country plans to play its part for the achievement of the set objectives.
19:12 COP28 started with the damages and immediately with precise announcements of financing.
19:20 We raised about 800 million dollars, which is very little,
19:25 but it is already a strong signal that in a COP we can immediately act on the financing of damages
19:32 by giving clear financing commitments.
19:36 So, in a nutshell, these are moments of exchange, moments of negotiation,
19:42 where it is the world's parties that sometimes have divergent interests.
19:46 Today you cannot make an insular state understand that we have not taken out fossil fuels in COP28,
19:52 because they see in front of them the real threats of the disappearance of their territory.
19:57 So you see that when you negotiate with people like that, it is delicate,
20:01 because you know that they are telling the truth.
20:04 You also have a truth, so how to find a fair environment in this,
20:10 but preserving the global interest, which is to stop global warming.
20:15 During this meeting of the institutions,
20:18 the actors also looked at the strategies to be put in place for the exit routes.
20:25 These are reduction plans of greenhouse gas to be put in place by the States.
20:31 Decide COP30 in Brazil in 2025.
20:35 And on the eve of this New Year, the Queen of Denmark, Marguerite II,
20:41 holder of the longevity record for a monarch in Europe,
20:45 announced that she was going to abdicate on January 14
20:48 and leave the throne to her son, Prince Frederick.
20:52 The big surprise was made during her traditional New Year speech,
20:56 during which she invoked her age and health problems.
21:01 83-year-old Margaret II has reigned for 52 years
21:05 and as the only monarch in Europe since the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
21:10 And that's what I did with this newspaper.
21:21 Thank you for following it.
