00:20this round of news, here are the titles.
00:22His Royal Highness Princess Dalaa Hasna and His Excellency Sheikh As-Sara bin Hamad Al-Thani
00:28will be presiding this Tuesday at the Al-Shakab Center in Adhara, Tehran, a year of events
00:36celebrating the exceptional fraternal relations between Morocco and Qatar, the details in
00:41a few moments.
00:42France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the UN have sent emissaries to Syria.
00:50These Western diplomats want to forge contacts with the authorities of the transition, whose
00:55first steps to power are observed with caution.
00:58Ukrainian security services have claimed the murder of Igor Keriov, the head of the
01:09Russian army.
01:10The Kremlin speaks of a death caused by the explosion of a machine near the entrance
01:15of a residential building in Moscow.
01:17Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness Princess Dalaa Hasna and His Excellency
01:29Sheikh As-Sara bin Hamad Al-Thani will be presiding this Tuesday at the Al-Shakab Center in Adhara,
01:35the Tehran show, a prestigious show that includes a whole year of events celebrating the exceptional
01:43fraternal relations between Morocco and Qatar.
01:46and Qatar.
01:47This Ekessre show, organized at the end of the Cultural Year Qatar-Morocco 2024,
01:53has been on the UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage since 2021,
02:00but in honor of a popular traditional art engraved in gold letters,
02:05in the heritage of the Moroccans,
02:07is practiced to celebrate the festive moments.
02:16We are still in Morocco with the Al-Maghrib Bank Council,
02:32which has decided to reduce the CEO rate from 25 points of base to 2.5%.
02:38Given the evolution of inflation at online levels,
02:42with the aim of stabilizing prices
02:44and looking at the strong uncertainties surrounding the short-term prospects,
02:49especially internationally,
02:51inflation should remain moderate, at 2.4% in 2025.
02:57Economic growth should be limited to 2.6% this year,
03:01before accelerating to 3.9% in the next two years.
03:06I invite you to listen to Abdelatif Zouahri, Wali, Al-Maghrib Bank.
03:11Inflation in 2024 will not exceed 1%.
03:16It will be around 1% and will evolve around 2%
03:21for the next two years, 2025 and 2026.
03:25In terms of growth,
03:28we have also noted an improvement in figures
03:31in terms of growth in non-agricultural sectors.
03:36We will be at 3.6% in 2024 and around 3.9% in 2025 and 2026.
03:43On the basis of these considerations,
03:46and given that on a budgetary level,
03:50the balance, the tendency taken by the government
03:54is to maintain macro-prudential and macro-economic balances,
03:59and also the budgetary deficit and the level of debt,
04:04the Council has decided to lower the CEO rate of Wali Al-Maghrib Bank
04:09from 2.75% to 2.50%.
04:12But given this context, both external and internal,
04:15it has decided to follow even more closely
04:19the evolution of the internal and external conjuncture,
04:23and from meeting to meeting,
04:26it will make the decisions that seem appropriate to it
04:29on the basis of the most up-to-date figures possible.
04:34The last general census of the population and the habitat
04:38carried out in September 2024
04:40highlighted the demographic and social data
04:43essential to understand the evolution of Morocco.
04:47Cheikh Ibn Moussa, the High Commissioner for Plans,
04:49presented his results at a held conference on Tuesday.
04:53Let's listen to what he had to say.
04:55We noticed that the population is declining,
05:00and this makes us...
05:02One of the most striking aspects of the last census
05:04is the slowdown in demographic growth in Morocco.
05:08It must be said that the demographic changes that the country is experiencing
05:12are an inversion of the age pyramid,
05:14and so there is an increase of nearly 14%
05:17of the proportion of people over 60 years of age.
05:20The decline in the population growth rate
05:23is mainly explained by the continuous decrease in fertility.
05:28The average number of children per woman
05:30went from 2.2 in 2014 to 1.97 in 2024.
05:36This level of fertility is now lower
05:40than the replacement threshold for generations,
05:42which is 2.1 children per woman.
05:45There is also this phenomenon of families
05:47that are becoming less and less numerous.
05:49And know that the urbanisation rate has reached 63%.
05:58Shakib Ben Moussa also said
06:01that there was a clear improvement in terms of education
06:05and social coverage,
06:07even though regional disparities still exist.
06:10On the socio-economic level,
06:12we are seeing a clear improvement in terms of education
06:16and social coverage.
06:18That said, there is a decrease in the activity rate,
06:22especially among women and in rural areas,
06:25with marked regional disparities.
06:28Finally, the economic fabric is mainly made up
06:32of social and economic factors.
06:35Finally, the economic fabric is mainly made up
06:38of small-scale companies
06:41that have seen a significant improvement
06:44and are strongly concentrated in certain regions.
06:51In Syria, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the UN
06:55have sent emissaries to link contacts
06:58with the authorities of the transition,
07:00whose first steps to power are carefully observed
07:04in the face of the challenge of unifying the country
07:07and the expectations of foreign capitals.
07:10The head of the coalition in power, Abdel Abdo,
07:13or rather Mohammad al-Jawlani,
07:15has committed to dissolving and integrating into the army
07:18the factions that contributed to the fall of former President Assad
07:21and to demand the lifting of international sanctions.
07:27The European Union must intensify its relationship
07:30with the group Hayat al-Rasham,
07:32who has been in power in Syria since the eviction of President Assad,
07:36has declared Ursula von der Leyen president
07:40after an interview in Ankara
07:42with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
07:45Ursula von der Leyen has also argued
07:48that the EU and its allies cannot allow
07:51the resurgence of Daesh in Syria,
07:54which has never been completely eradicated.
07:58A team of four French diplomats
08:01who also went to Damascus today
08:04to ask the new authorities of the transition
08:07to continue the fight against Daesh
08:10and other terrorist groups,
08:13indicated the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
08:16French diplomats also stressed
08:19that France would determine its commitment to Syria
08:22according to these criteria,
08:25including Jean-François Guillaume,
08:28Special Envoy for Syria,
08:31who led this mission,
08:34to in addition exchange with representatives
08:37of organizations of the Syrian civil society
08:40engaged in aid to the population.
08:45The conflict is not yet over in Syria,
08:48despite the eviction of Bashar al-Assad,
08:51the UN Special Envoy,
08:54who is currently in the north of the country
08:57between pro-Kurdish forces and pro-Turkish groups,
09:00Geir Pedersen, called to lift the sanctions
09:03to allow the reconstruction of the country
09:06ravaged by 13 years of civil war.
09:09Several foreign missions met this Tuesday
09:12in Damascus the new Syrian authorities
09:15who are trying to reassure on their ability
09:18to pacify Syria.
09:22Abu Mohammed al-Jalani,
09:25head of the Syrian coalition,
09:28considers necessary the lifting of international sanctions
09:31imposed in Damascus to rebuild the country
09:34in ruins and allow the return of refugees to the country.
09:37In 2024, the High Commission of the United Nations
09:40for Refugees indicates that 6.3 million Syrians
09:43left the country under the reign of Bashar al-Assad.
09:46More details with Raja Ingo.
09:52After overthrowing Bashar al-Assad,
09:55Mohammed al-Sharif emphasizes that it is necessary
09:58to lift all international sanctions targeting Syria
10:01to allow the return of Syrian refugees to their country.
10:04The Assad regime overthrown, Syria needs funds
10:07to rebuild itself so that the Syrians
10:10find a country in which they can believe again.
10:13For the countries close to Syria,
10:16the international community should do everything
10:19possible.
10:22Today and after the particular transformation in Syria,
10:25the best solution to this problem
10:28is that the Syrians return to their country.
10:31The international community,
10:34especially Europe,
10:37should help the return of the Syrians
10:40by engaging in early recovery efforts
10:43in the secured areas of Syria.
10:47The Syrian government is subject to strict sanctions
10:50from the United States, the European Union
10:53and other countries for many years.
10:56They were established after Bashar al-Assad's
10:59brutal response to the 2011 pro-democracy demonstrations
11:02which then degenerated into civil war.
11:05The humanitarian aid in Syria is also a necessity
11:08to unify the country, ravaged by 14 years of war.
11:11We opened an air bridge
11:14for 100 tons of humanitarian aid
11:17to support health, education and housing in Syria.
11:20And for the future, I can announce that we will organize
11:23the 9th conference of Brussels on Syria
11:26which will be a conference of fundraising here in Brussels.
11:29We are on the side of the Syrian people throughout this transition
11:32as we did when Assad's brutal regime
11:35was in power.
11:38Turkey, which shares its borders with Syria,
11:41will distribute 50 tons of medical supplies
11:44sent by the European Union across the border.
11:47The United Nations estimates the cost of the country's reconstruction
11:50to more than 900 billion dollars.
11:53Several countries have already resumed relations with Damascus.
11:56Many of them have claimed to be in favor of providing
11:59their aid to the Syrians and the new government.
12:02After 13 years of civil war, Syria must be reconstructed
12:05and its economy renewed.
12:08In 2021, the United Nations already estimated
12:11the cost of the reconstruction to 800 billion dollars.
12:14Fadi Dayoub, director of the local organization
12:17Development and Small Project Support, tells us about it.
12:20I prefer not to use the word reconstruction
12:23because it diverts attention.
12:26What we need for Syria
12:29is to rebuild the country
12:32and build a new Syria.
12:35Beyond the material loss,
12:38a lot of destruction has been done
12:41largely by the regime
12:44and its brutal repression.
12:47But beyond that, Syria needs
12:50human capital that has been lost over the years.
12:53That will take a little time.
12:56It's not something we can put a financial blow on.
12:59There are a lot of children who were raised without going to school.
13:02The enrollment rate at school
13:05went from 50% to 60%
13:08when it was more than 90%
13:11or 95% before.
13:14We will have to restart
13:17education.
13:20We will also have to find a way
13:23to bring back all the energy
13:26and expertise that has left the country.
13:29That doesn't mean there isn't a lot of it in Syria.
13:32The task itself requires a lot of hands
13:35and brains.
13:38Beyond the material or financial cost,
13:41there is an effort to be made.
13:44We will also have to rebuild
13:47buildings, bridges and infrastructure.
13:50There is a whole system to be put in place.
13:53A system of governance,
13:56a system of new economies.
13:59There is also a social contract to be made
14:02to encourage Syrians to contribute.
14:05There are several million Syrians
14:08who are in despair
14:11everywhere.
14:14Some of them are refugees
14:17who left the country.
14:21We can count a lot on this
14:24strength
14:27in terms of skills
14:30that can contribute
14:33to building this new Syria
14:36and the financial power it can bring.
14:39There is a project.
14:42Before talking about reconstruction
14:45or building a new Syria,
14:48we will have to redefine this.
14:51We will have to have a political transition
14:54towards a Syria that makes people dream,
14:57adhere,
15:00cooperate
15:03and engage Syrians
15:06both inside and outside Syria.
15:09The cost itself, which is measured
15:12in hundreds of billions,
15:15is far from what Syria has as a means.
15:45On Tuesday,
15:48Bashar al-Assad's unprecedented presence
15:51at the summit was kept secret
15:54for hours and fueled rumours
15:57of a visit to Cairo
16:00in the course of negotiations
16:03with Hamas for an agreement
16:06on the release of hostages
16:09in the Gaza Strip.
16:12The discussions were serious
16:15and positive the day after
16:18the arrival of an Israeli delegation
16:21to meet mediators in Doha.
16:24These discussions followed a visit
16:27to Doha on 11 December
16:30when the chief of Mossad,
16:33David Barnea,
16:36indicated a source close to the negotiations.
16:39The head of the Russian army
16:42was killed this Tuesday in an explosion
16:45near a residential building in the southeast of Moscow.
16:48This attack is claimed by Kiev.
16:51Racha Engo reports.
16:54It happened this morning
16:57in front of the building of a residential district in Moscow.
17:00Igor Kirilov, the commander of the Russian
17:03radiological, chemical and biological defense forces
17:06was killed in an explosion caused
17:09by the launch of an explosive device.
17:12The bomb was placed in front of the entrance of the building.
17:15It exploded as soon as they left the building.
17:18They used the electric scooter.
17:21There is a scooter parking there,
17:24near the entrance.
17:27So who knew?
17:30At the moment there are a lot of policemen,
17:33The 54-year-old general Kirilov
17:36is the highest Russian military official
17:39to have been killed in Moscow since the beginning
17:42of the Russian offensive against his Ukrainian neighbor
17:45in February 2022.
17:48His assassination was immediately claimed
17:51by the Ukrainian security services,
17:54which had already accused the Russian general
17:57of war crimes on Monday,
18:01The incident was classified
18:04as a terrorist act, a murder,
18:07illegal arms and ammunition trafficking.
18:10A team of investigators is present at the scene
18:13to establish the circumstances of the crime
18:16and identify the people involved in its implementation.
18:19Since the beginning of the war,
18:22more than 4,000 cases of chemical ammunition use
18:25by the Russian army have been reported
18:28and are considered absurd.
18:34Social economy, immigration,
18:37the German conservatives favored
18:40to win the elections in February
18:43unveiled a resolute program on the right,
18:46presenting themselves as the antithesis
18:49of the Social Democrats.
18:52Chancellor Scholz said.
18:55It is not an option to add to this.
18:58Fusillating the policy of the former coalition
19:01of the center-left, according to the polls,
19:04the scenario of government is most likely
19:07an alliance between the conservatives led by Merz
19:10and the Social Democrats led by Scholz,
19:13who lost confidence in the deputies on Monday.
19:18The policy also leads us to France,
19:21criticized by all parties for having chosen
19:24to stay in Mayotte in the midst of a crisis.
19:27François Bayrou promised the deputies
19:30not to leave any challenge unanswered
19:33but to move forward on these solutions
19:36while waiting to form a government in a few days.
19:39The new Prime Minister, who continues
19:42the consultations with the political forces
19:45to form his team, has made a starting point
19:48with Emmanuel Macron.
19:52Let's go back to the continent.
19:55In Côte d'Ivoire, the project to improve
19:58the resilience of coffee and beer producers
20:01through the autonomy of female producers
20:04has just been launched.
20:07The goal is to create opportunities
20:10for women in the agricultural value chain.
20:13Max Souroubi and Ferdinand Coacu
20:16make the countdown.
20:20The agricultural sector constitutes
20:23one of the pillars of the Ivorian economy
20:26and represents 25% of the GDP.
20:29Ivorian agriculture mobilizes
20:32more than 50% of the active population.
20:35In the country, women play a crucial role
20:38in the agricultural chains,
20:41but they face many difficulties.
20:44In Abidjan, the current workshop
20:47aims to promote the autonomy
20:50of female producers and their spouses.
20:53This project aims to autonomize women
20:56by supporting them

23:17It also aims to organize the parking
23:20of the goods transport vehicles
23:23of the goods transport vehicles
23:26We thought that the traffic lights
23:29would have been restricted
23:32However, the situation has worsened
23:35The traffic to Tanger is unprecedented
23:38The traffic lights are not the solution
23:41for this city
23:44The municipality of Tanger rented
23:4654 million dirham as participation
23:48to fund this project
23:50This agreement, which starts
23:52at the moment of signing
23:54by all parties,
23:56his signature.
23:57And this is the end of this newscast, thank you for following it.
24:02The news is coming back to you on Mediain TV Africa.
