01:11In Syria, Homs residents flee in mass after the rebellious progression of Hamas,

01:29The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, on Friday,
01:34issued an aerial strike on the strategic highway bridge in Rastan,
01:38on the Hama-Homs axis, in the context of the advance of rebel forces.
01:42Yesterday evening, tens of thousands of Homs residents were seen fleeing to the West Coast, according to the OSDH.
01:51In addition, the regime's forces have sent more than 200 military vehicles carrying weapons and equipment to Homs,
01:59in order to strengthen their position, added the UN, based in the United Kingdom,
02:05and which has a wide network of sources in Syria.
02:08Since November 27, the fights and bombings have resulted in 826 deaths among 111 civilians, according to the OSDH.
02:16Of this total, 222 combatants have died since Tuesday around Hama,
02:20the UN observatory said, with 115,000 displaced in one week.
02:27Russia intends to be taken seriously after the launch of the new heavy missile.
02:33Oreshnik on Ukraine at the end of November warns that it is ready to use all possible means to defend itself,
02:40according to the words of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
02:46The United States and its allies must understand that we would be ready to use all means
02:53to succeed in what they call the strategic defeat of Russia, said editorialist and controversial animator Trucker Carlson.
03:00According to the Russian authorities, this missile shot responded to the bombings carried out by Kiev in Russia
03:07with American and British missiles.

03:16Lavrov warned that Russia will send additional messages if it does not draw the conclusions it imposes.
03:23Lavrov accused the Biden administration of intensifying the conflict in Ukraine
03:28to leave the Trump administration as bad a legacy as possible.
03:37In South Korea, President Yun Suk-hyen, threatened by destitution for his failed attempt to impose martial law,
03:44was released this Friday by his own party, which judged that he was putting the country in great danger
03:50and recommended his quick suspension.
03:53The leader of the People's Power Party, to which Yun Suk-hyen belongs, has returned to his vest today,
03:59after having stated the day before that his training would fail the motion of destitution
04:05issued by the opposition to the parliament.
04:07The party leader has also claimed evidence that the president had ordered the arrest of political leaders
04:13last night, from Tuesday to Wednesday, when he had declared martial law
04:17and sent the army to surround the parliament before giving it up under the pressure of the deputies and the street.
04:24If Yun Suk-hyen does not resign before the monocameral South Korean parliament meets on Saturday
04:30to speak out on his destitution, a majority of two-thirds of the 300 deputies is necessary to remove him.
04:44The French president, Emmanuel Macron, received this Friday several political leaders,
04:48from the UPS to the LR, including those from his own camp,
04:52in view of the formation of a government of general interest.
04:54After the censorship of Michel Barnier on Wednesday,
04:57the head of state, who said he was looking for a government arc,
05:01tried last night to regain his hand during a television interview
05:05where he promised to nominate a new prime minister in the coming days.
05:11The announcement of the name of a new head of state is not expected before the weekend,
05:17see Monday, and even more time should be required to know the composition of his new team.
05:28I suggest you listen to an excerpt from yesterday's television interview
05:32of French President Emmanuel Macron, who spoke the day after the censorship of the Barnier government.
05:38Yesterday, the government was censored,
05:41despite the concessions made by Michel Barnier to all parliamentary groups.
05:47It has been censored, which is unprecedented for 60 years,
05:50because the far right and the far left are united in an anti-republican front,
05:58and because forces that still governed France yesterday chose to help them.
06:03I will never assume the irresponsibility of others,
06:07and in particular of the parliamentarians who consciously chose
06:10to bring down the budget and the government of France a few days before Christmas.
06:15The mandate that you have democratically entrusted me with is a five-year mandate,
06:20and I will exercise it fully until its end.
06:23We cannot afford divisions or immobility.
06:28This is why I will nominate a prime minister in the coming days.
06:33I will be in charge of forming a government of general interest,
06:36representing all the political forces of a government that can participate in it,
06:41or at least that is committed not to censor it.
06:45His Majesty King Mohammed VI presided on Wednesday a council of ministers.
06:50During this council, there were not only the preparers of the World Cup 2030.
06:55The sovereign, also known as Zuhair Shorfi,
06:58was president of the National Authority for the Regulation of Electricity,
07:02an authority whose attributes have been expanded to include,
07:06in addition to electricity, all the components of the energy sector.
07:11More details with Alain Blany.
07:15Under the Royal Directive, the National Authority for the Regulation of Electricity
07:19now oversees the entire energy sector.
07:22In addition to electricity, the field of regulation entrusted to the NRE
07:26will be extended to liquefied natural gas, renewable energies,
07:30including green hydrogen and its derivatives,
07:32as well as the entire value chain,
07:35covering production, storage, transport and distribution.
07:40This reform comes at a time when Morocco has made significant progress
07:44in terms of energy sovereignty.
07:47At the end of 2023, the capacity to install renewable energy in Morocco
07:51had reached 4,600 MW, representing more than 41% of the national electric mix.
07:57This percentage should increase as early as this year,
08:00with the imminent installation of wind farms in the Tangier region
08:05and in Essaouira, in the region of Sousse-Massa and in the province of Sfranc.
08:10These performance in terms of energy
08:12are the result of the national energy strategy initiated by the Kingdom since 2009.
08:18This strategy is based on three main pillars,
08:21energy security, energy efficiency and the development of renewable energies.
08:27This strategy aims to diversify energy sources,
08:31reduce consumption and costs,
08:34and achieve the ambitious goal of 52% of the electrical capacity
08:39installed from renewable sources by 2030.
08:42Among the key energy projects launched by Morocco
08:46in the context of its energy transition,
08:49we can mention wind farms.
08:51The country has invested heavily in them,
08:54notably the wind farm in Tarfaya, which is one of the largest in Africa.
08:58In terms of solar energy,
09:00there is the establishment of the various Nour solar plants.
09:04In addition, in terms of green hydrogen,
09:07Morocco plans a total investment of 60 billion dollars
09:11to develop its green hydrogen production capacity,
09:14which could generate up to 160 terawatts of hydrogen by 2050.
09:19This represents a huge potential
09:22sufficient to meet a significant part of the global demand.
09:27Finally, in terms of GNL, liquid natural gas,
09:32the country plans a significant increase in its production
09:35with projects such as that of Tsendrara,
09:38which should produce 100 million cubic meters per year by 2025
09:42and an extension to 280 million cubic meters per year in the long term.
09:47In this regard, several projects are planned,
09:50including the construction of domestic gas pipelines and import terminals.
09:54A protocol has been signed to establish a gas pipeline
09:58to focus on the Morocco-Nigeria gas pipeline
10:02or the Maghreb-Europe gas pipeline.
10:07The President of the Chamber of Councils, Wolderscheid,
10:11had this Thursday in Panama City interviews
10:14with the Vice-Panamanian Minister of Foreign Affairs
10:17in charge of multilateral issues, Carlos Guevaraman.
10:21This interview took place during the participation of Wolderscheid
10:24to the work of the General Assembly of the Parliament of Latin America and the Caribbean,
10:29which took place on 4 and 5 December in the capital of Panama.
10:32On this occasion, the President of the Chamber of Councils
10:35said that these interviews are part of the consolidation
10:41of cooperation relations between Morocco and Panama,
10:44based on mutual respect and dialogue.
10:47Wolderscheid noted that the geostrategic positioning of Morocco and Panama
10:50opens promising perspectives for trilateral partnerships,
10:54both in Africa and in the Caribbean.
10:59In Ghana, the main presidential candidates on Saturday,
11:04Mahmoudou Bahoumia and John Mahama,
11:08took advantage of the last hours of campaign
11:12to hold their last meeting this Thursday in Accra, the capital,
11:16in front of thousands of supporters.
11:18According to experts, the scrutiny is announced to be tight between Mahmoudou Bahoumia,
11:23Vice-President and candidate of the New Patriotic Party,
11:26and his opponent, John Mahama, former head of state
11:29and leader of the National Democratic Congress,
11:32throughout the presidential campaign.
11:35The economic situation of the country was at the heart of the debates.
11:38Ghana is suffering from a crisis,
11:40having needed a loan of 3 billion dollars from the International Monetary Fund.
11:45The first gold producer on the continent is a major exporter of cocoa.
11:50This state of West Africa is considered
11:53as a privileged investor on the continent.
11:56In recent months, inflation has gone from 54% to 23%,
12:01but many Ghanaians remain concerned about the cost of living.
