00:40without major absences.
00:43And in Tunisia, it's off to the 35th edition of the Festival de Cinéma de Carthage.
00:5056 films are in competition.
00:53And we start with Syria.
00:59A week after the fall and flight of Bashar al-Assad,
01:02the UN emissary for this country,
01:05Geir Pedersen, after his arrival in Damascus,
01:07called for increased humanitarian aid and to avoid acts of revenge.
01:12France, on the other hand, announced the launch of a diplomatic mission in Damascus,
01:16the first in 12 years,
01:18to establish first contacts with the new authorities.
01:22Turkey, on the other hand, says it is ready to provide military aid if the new government asks for it.
01:28And in this context, more than 60 Israeli strikes aimed at Syrian military sites.
01:37We told you in the title,
01:39with this moment that they had been waiting for for a long time,
01:42thousands of students have resumed the path of universities.
01:45A new page opens for them.
01:47They have finally freed themselves.
01:49More details in this story of Cheyma Fikri.
01:54In Damascus, universities and schools find their dynamism.
01:58The Dean of the Faculty of Letters of the University of Damascus
02:01said that classes resumed this Sunday,
02:04with about 80% of employees present and a large number of students.
02:09In the courtyard, hundreds of students let their joy burst.
02:12Everything is fine, we are fully equipped.
02:14We have worked two or three days to provide the school with the necessary services
02:18so that the students can return to school safely.
02:21First of all, the school has not suffered any damage and everything is in order.
02:24The majority of students are already present
02:26and we hope that the others will arrive as they did during their previous trip.
02:32According to the report of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Syria,
02:35the number of students who have returned to school has increased.
02:38According to an employee of a public school,
02:41the rate of attendance on Sundays does not exceed 30%,
02:44but the numbers should increase gradually.
02:47On the way to school, girls make the sign of victory.
02:50Others proudly wave flags floating in the wind.
02:56I am optimistic and very happy.
02:58Before, I was walking in the street,
03:00afraid of being surrounded by the military service.
03:03I was afraid when I arrived at a checkpoint.
03:06Thousands of students and schoolchildren
03:08took part in a spontaneous demonstration
03:11in the direction of the central square of the Omeyad,
03:14where the Syrians have been celebrating the fall of Bashar al-Assad for a week.
03:18Life has also resumed in business and businesses,
03:21and residents have returned to their offices
03:24from the first hours of the day.
03:27The Israeli government approved this Sunday,
03:30unanimously, a project by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
03:33aimed at doubling the population in the Syrian Golan region,
03:36occupied and annexed by Israel.
03:39This was communicated from Benjamin Netanyahu's office.
03:42At the same time, the Israeli Prime Minister
03:45indicated on Sunday that his country
03:48had no interest in confronting Syria,
03:51that he would define Israel's policy towards Syria
03:54according to the reality on the ground.
03:57And in Gaza, 96% of the children
04:00believe that their death is imminent
04:03and 49% wish to die.
04:06A study conducted by an NGO reveals the extent
04:09of psychological damage to young Gazans
04:12caused by the attacks carried out by Israel.
04:15More details in this story by Soheil Jalil.
04:1896% of the children in Gaza
04:21believe that their death is imminent
04:2499% of the children in Gaza
04:27believe that their death is imminent
04:3049% of them really wish to die.
04:33Atrocious figures reveal the extent
04:36of psychological damage to the children in Gaza.
04:39A report by the Community Training Center
04:42for Crisis Management in Gaza
04:45supported by the World Child Alliance.
04:48According to the report, 92% of minors
04:5179% suffer from nightmares

04:5787% show intense fear

05:0377% of children avoid talking about traumatic events.
05:06In June, the investigation questioned parents
05:09or children's tutors from families
05:12where at least one child was disabled, injured or unaccompanied.
05:15A report that shows without a doubt
05:18that Gaza is one of the most horrible places in the world for children.
05:21These children have witnessed the bombing of their homes and schools
05:24have experienced the loss of loved ones
05:27and have been displaced or separated from their families
05:30while fleeing to be safe.
05:33The extent of the displacement is dizzying.
05:361.9 million Palestinians in Gaza
05:39that is about 90% of the total population of the territory
05:42have been forced to flee, often several times.
05:4517,000 children in Gaza are unaccompanied or separated from their parents
05:48exposing them to an increased risk of exploitation, abuse
05:51and other serious violations of their rights.
05:54Faced with the extent of the crisis, the World Child Association
05:57and its partners have so far been able to help 17,000 children in Gaza
06:00by providing them with mental health support.
06:03World Child aims to help a million children
06:06in particular with psychosocial support
06:09in what will be the largest humanitarian response
06:13of these three decades of existence.
06:16And in Libya, one of the country's main refineries
06:19located in the West has been shut down
06:22after clashes between local armed groups
06:25which broke out early Sunday and caused fires
06:28on infrastructure announced by the public oil company NOK.
06:31Several reservoirs of the Zawiya refinery
06:34a city located 45 km west of Tripoli
06:37is the only one in the Libyan West
06:41which supplies the local oil market
06:44has caught fire according to videos broadcast on social media
06:47before being controlled.
06:50NOK announced in a statement
06:53the suspension of production decreeing the state of emergency level 3
06:56after the damage caused to several reservoirs
06:59of the Zawiya refinery
07:02at the first hours of this Sunday.
07:05And in Korea, the head of the opposition
07:08has said that the Constitutional Court
07:11has accelerated the fate of the president.
07:14For him, it is the only way to limit the national trouble
07:17and alleviate the suffering of the population.
07:20The Constitutional Court has six months to validate
07:23or not the dismissal of Yoon Sung-yeol
07:26voted yesterday on Saturday by the parliament.
07:29He pays the price for wanting to impose martial law.
07:32More details in this story by Cheyma Fikri.
07:35With 204 votes in favor of the dismissal
07:3885 against, 3 abstentions and 8 invalid bulletins
07:41the Korean president Yoon Seok-yool
07:44was dismissed by the parliament.
07:47The dismissal motion had to collect
07:50at least 200 votes out of 300 to pass.
07:53The opposition, which has 192 deputies
07:56has thus managed to convince 12 of the 108 members
07:59of the People's Power Party to join it.
08:03The suspension of the leader of the rebellion, Yoon Seok-yool
08:06is only a first step towards the resolution of the crisis.
08:09We will maintain our vigilance
08:12until an in-depth investigation is carried out
08:15to clarify the circumstances of the incident,
08:18identify those responsible for the decree of martial law
08:21and that they are punished.
08:27The Korean president is suspended
08:30due to the validation of his dismissal
08:33by the Constitutional Court.
08:36Prime Minister Han Duk-soo assures the interim.
08:43I can take a break, but the journey to the future
08:46that I have undertaken with the people
08:49over the last two and a half years must never stop.
08:52I will never give up. By keeping in my heart
08:55all the criticisms, encouragement and support
08:58for the country until the last moment.
09:07I will devote all my strength and all my efforts
09:10to ensure a stable management
09:13of the administration of the state during this difficult period.
09:18At the announcement of the dismissal, 200,000 demonstrators
09:21gathered in front of the National Assembly
09:24to celebrate these decisions.
09:27The Constitutional Court has six months
09:30to confirm or cancel the Parliament's decision.
09:33If the dismissal is validated,
09:36an anticipated presidential election will take place in 60 days.
09:41And in Nigeria, Abuja welcomes today
09:44the summit of heads of state and government of the CDAO
09:47at the heart of the discussions,
09:50the economic and security issues.
09:53Mali, Nigeria and Burkina Faso
09:56are the great absence of this summit.
09:59These three countries have slammed the door of the West African organization
10:02and do not intend to reintegrate it.
10:08And to talk about this summit, we find on site
10:11our correspondent in Abuja, Gilbert Tamba.
10:14Good evening.
10:17Good evening and good evening to all.
10:20Good evening Gilbert. So maybe a question,
10:23what were the highlights of this summit of the CDAO?
10:26You who had closely followed this meeting.
10:29So, the summit of Abuja
10:32that took place today was considered
10:35as an opportunity to address the very imminent
10:38of these three countries, Burkina Faso, Mali and Nigeria
10:41on January 29, January 4,
10:44a year after they jointly announced
10:47their departure from the sub-regional body,
10:50after decades of regional integration.
10:53So, the CDAO has not so far
10:56succeeded in pushing them to reconsider
10:59their decision.
11:02That said, if next January 29
11:05remains the official date of the withdrawal of these three countries,
11:08the actual date of their departure
11:11has been extended to July 29, 2025.
11:14That is, a period of six months
11:17will be agreed again to see if
11:20negotiations will be able to allow their return within the organization.
11:23A period of six months.
11:26So, the CDAO mediators will try
11:29to bring back the three members within the sub-regional organization.
11:32Gilbert Tamba, thank you very much
11:35for answering this question.
11:38I remind you that you are our correspondent in Abuja
11:41and that you have closely followed
11:44the summit of the CDAO
11:47which is closing today. Thank you very much, Gilbert Tamba.
11:53And in Nigeria, 39 villagers
11:56were killed this week in a double
11:59terrorist attack presumed in the west of the country,
12:02a region particularly haunted these last days
12:05by the violence of the armed groups.
12:08The date of the attack is not precise, but the bulletin of operations
12:11was published in the period of December 12 to 14.
12:14According to local authorities, these are two atrocious dramas
12:17that occurred in the towns of Liberi and Kukuru.
12:20Many women and children are being deported among the victims.
12:27And in Nigeria, the AFICA OCP,
12:30a subsidiary of the OCP group, has signed a protocol
12:33of historical agreement with the Nigerian Ministry
12:36of Agriculture and Livestock.
12:40This partnership, supported by the World Bank,
12:43underlines the commitment of the AFICA OCP
12:46in favor of sustainable agricultural development
12:49and the improvement of health and soil fertility
12:52in this West African country.
12:55The partnership is based on six essential initiatives
12:58and in parallel, new generation agricultural service centers
13:01will be set up.
13:04This partnership will also support the entrepreneurship
13:08of start-up incubation and acceleration.
13:11And now let's go to the United States,
13:14where Donald Trump named yesterday David Noon,
13:17head of his Truth Social network,
13:20to the presidency of a White House consultative council
13:23dedicated to intelligence.
13:26This Republican had accused the FBI of abusing its powers
13:29to spy on a man responsible for Donald Trump's campaign,
13:32who had many contacts with Russia
13:35during the investigation of Russian interference
13:38in the 2016 US presidential election.
13:45Let's go to France now,
13:48where, newly installed in Matignon,
13:51François Bayrou started his consultations
13:54to form a new government.
13:57The president went to the Senate.
14:00Gérard Larcher asked him for a roadmap
14:03so that his party colleague Bruno Rotaillot
14:06would be re-elected to the Ministry of the Interior.
14:09The prime minister will have to put everyone
14:12in front of his responsibilities,
14:15said the president of the Senate,
14:18who met with François Bayrou on Saturday.
14:21And a round of applause
14:24for the UN conference against desertification.
14:27The COP16 in Riyadh will have showered
14:30in a restrictive protocol to fight against drought.
14:33More details with Cheyma Fikri.
15:00Together we have accomplished a lot,
15:03but our work is far from being completed.
15:06The scientific evidence is clear and indisputable.
15:09The way we manage our lands today
15:12will have a direct impact on the future of life.
15:15We will continue to fight against desertification
15:18and we will continue to fight against
15:21the threat of desertification.
15:24We will continue to fight against
15:27the threats of desertification.
15:43According to the UN,
15:46desertification will contribute 300 billion dollars
15:49yearly to the destruction of the environment
15:52by humans!
15:55of the world population by 2050.
16:02For the first time in the history of humanity,
16:04we are faced with a risk that science
16:06forces us to take into account.
16:08We are halfway through a decisive decade,
16:11the one that will probably determine
16:13the future of humanity for the generations to come.
16:16Unless we manage to reverse the trend
16:18and transform ourselves deeply
16:20in order to return to the safe space of operation
16:23of a resilient and healthy planet.
16:25Today, scientific tests are overwhelming.
16:27We risk destabilizing our environment,
16:29losing our resilience
16:31and compromising the ability of life
16:33to survive on Earth.
16:35The latest discoveries show that we are following
16:37a trajectory that could lead to a warming
16:39of more than 3 °C,
16:41of the world average temperature
16:43by the end of the century.
16:50Before the negotiations,
16:51the United Nations Convention
16:53on the fight against desertification
16:55had estimated that 1.5 billion hectares of land
16:58had to be restored by the end of the decade
17:01and that global investments
17:03of at least 2.6 trillion dollars
17:05were necessary.
17:09Trees, roots, roofs,
17:11to the ground,
17:13in a territory where the precarious habitat
17:15concerns at least a third of the population.
17:18Mayotte is devastated
17:20after the passage of the Shido cyclone
17:22in this French archipelago.
17:24The Shido cyclone
17:26has certainly caused several hundred deaths in Mayotte
17:28and perhaps even a few thousand,
17:30said Sunday the prefect
17:32of the French overseas department,
17:34saying that it will be very difficult
17:36to have a final assessment.
17:38A crisis meeting was held this Sunday morning
17:40at the meeting

18:03Forecasts from the General Direction
18:05of Meteorology,

18:20meetings of its executive committee
18:22as well as presidents
