00:19Thank you for joining us for this round of news.
00:23The fire continues to ravage the outskirts of Los Angeles.
00:27The Californian megapole is now reporting at least 10 deaths.
00:31Military reinforcements will also be deployed.
00:34Details in a few moments.
00:38On human rights violations during the civil war in Syria,
00:42an investigator from the United Nations expressed the hope
00:45of a good cooperation with the new authorities of the country
00:48after a first visit yesterday on site.
00:52In Chad, a little more than 24 hours later,
00:56the mysterious and bloody attack on its palace in Yamena,
01:00President Madelis Debidno paid homage to these soldiers
01:04who neutralized the malicious individuals who came to destroy it.
01:08We meet again right away for the development.
01:15Welcome ladies and gentlemen,
01:17the support of Morocco towards Spain following the floods
01:20having touched the Iberian waters illustrates the depth
01:24of the relations between the two countries.
01:26Friends and brothers, I would like to underline my credits
01:29to the Spanish Minister of the Interior, Fernando Grande Marlaska,
01:33in a video broadcast during the ceremony organized in Valence
01:37by the Spanish authorities to mark the end of the mission
01:41of the Moroccan contingent.
01:43Fernando Marlaska saluted the exceptional commitment
01:46of the Moroccan teams deployed in emergency
01:49in accordance with the instructions of His Majesty,
01:52the King Mohammed VI, to support rescue efforts
01:55in the region of Valence,
01:57underlining that Spain will always remember with gratitude
02:01this precious assistance in a period of great distress.
02:05He also highlighted the importance of this solidarity
02:09thanks to which 103 Moroccan agents have made a significant contribution
02:14to the rehabilitation of the affected areas.
02:19In Morocco, the voluntary regularization operation
02:22of the fiscal situation allowed the declaration
02:25of more than 127 billion dirhams,
02:28an operation that exceeds the initial forecasts
02:31affirmed yesterday in Rabat.
02:34The Minister is in charge of relations with the Parliament,
02:37spokesman for the government, Moustapha Beitas.
02:40This operation aims to encourage contributors
02:44to voluntarily regularize the situation of their benefits
02:48and non-declared taxable income.
02:51Moustapha Beitas added that this value
02:54of 127 billion dirhams allowed the treasury
02:57of the state to be refluxed of 6 billion dirhams.
03:04According to official data in Morocco,
03:07tobacco is responsible for 8% of annual deaths.
03:11Tobacco is also the cause of 75% of deaths,
03:16cancer, lung disease and 10% of respiratory diseases.
03:22This report was signed by Houssein Mounes Mazy
03:27and Younes Missouri in this story by Cheyma Fikri.
03:32Tobacco is responsible for 8% of annual deaths in Morocco.
03:36This is what the Minister of Health and Social Protection,
03:40Amine Tahraoui, revealed to the Parliament.
03:42Statistics show the extent of cigarette smoking,
03:45which is responsible for 75% of deaths due to lung cancer
03:49and 10% of respiratory diseases.
03:55Smoking means any form of tobacco consumption,
03:57whether by cigarette, electronic cigarette or other similar products.
04:01This practice has many harmful consequences,
04:04including an increase in the mortality rate.
04:07It is responsible for various diseases such as respiratory infections,
04:10cardiovascular disorders and certain cancers,
04:13in particular lung cancer.
04:18According to the minister,
04:19tobacco causes 74,000 cardiovascular diseases annually,
04:23in addition to registering more than 4,200 new lung cancer cases.
04:27Specialist doctors warn that this plague exceeds
04:30the only physical symptoms affecting mental health.
04:34Smokers are now classified among psychiatric patients.
04:39The plague affecting Moroccan society in particular,
04:42young people find their roots in the psychological and societal pressures
04:46they are confronted with.
04:48Many live in a form of constant agitation and uncertain paranoia
04:51of what the future holds for them.
04:53In this context, the smoker is often perceived as a person
04:56suffering from chronic disorders.
04:59To counter the dangers of tobacco,
05:01the minister has implemented the national,
05:05multi-sectoral strategy of preventing and controlling
05:08non-transmissible diseases for the period 2019-2029.
05:11The aim is to reduce tobacco consumption among Moroccan adults
05:15from 20% to the horizon by 2029.
05:20In the United States, the fire continues to ravage.
05:23On board Los Angeles, where the main fires
05:26have remained out of control.
05:29Yesterday, in the Californian megapolis,
05:32which now feels at least 10 dead,
05:35and where military reinforcements will be deployed,
05:38the authorities have announced.
05:41About 180,000 people remain in the evacuation order.
05:44At a crisis meeting a few days after the end of his mandate,
05:47President Joe Biden deployed very extensive and devastating fires.
05:55During this time, an investigator from the United Nations
05:58also on human rights violations during the civil war in Syria
06:01expressed the hope of a good cooperation
06:04with the new authorities of the country.
06:07Also at the end of this meeting,
06:10the Tunisian Inquiry Commission on Syria
06:13had never had access to the country
06:16under the power of President Bashar al-Assad.
06:19We hope to be able to have a good relationship
06:22with the authorities in place,
06:25said Ani Meghali, a member of the commission
06:28who noted that the new government
06:31had also immediately welcomed the mission
06:34he was carrying out for five days in Syria.
06:40Lebanon finally has a new president.
06:43The Lebanese general of the army,
06:46Joseph Aoun, is at the head of power
06:49after more than two years without a leader.
06:52The point with Rasha El Gho.
06:55In 1999, of the 128 deputies,
06:58Joseph Aoun was said to be the commander.
07:01The 61-year-old general is now the new president
07:04of the Lebanese Republic.
07:07In his speech to parliament,
07:10General Joseph Aoun stated that a new era was opening
07:13after his election at the head of the country.
07:16He promised to respect the Treaty of Treves
07:19with Israel after the murderous war
07:22that opposed Hezbollah to Israel.
07:25He assured that the state will now be the only one
07:28to carry weapons in the country.
07:31My commitment is to play the role
07:34of commander-in-chief of the armed forces
07:37and president of the High Council of Defense
07:40and to work through them
07:43to ensure that the right to carry weapons
07:46is exclusively attributed to the state.
07:57Joseph Aoun began his consultations
08:00to appoint a prime minister.
08:03This successful election for parliamentarians
08:06is the first step so long awaited
08:09by the Lebanese people.
08:12The country is experiencing one of the most dramatic crises
08:15in its history.
08:18Since 2019, Lebanon has been experiencing
08:21an economic crisis characterized by the fall
08:24in the value of the currency,
08:27but also hyperinflation and a rise in the poverty rate.
08:30And in view of the regional geopolitical context,
08:33Joseph Aoun is ready to work with neighboring countries
08:36to resolve the crisis.
08:39My commitment is also to forge the best relations
08:42with the Arab countries,
08:45based on the fact that Lebanon is Arab
08:48by affiliation and identity.
08:51We will build strategic partnerships
08:54with the countries of the Levant,
08:57the Gulf of Arabia and North Africa,
09:00while preventing any conspiracy
09:03and non-interference in internal affairs
09:06of any of them, and the file of the missing
09:09and the solution of the problem of the refugees.
09:12Ambassadors from several countries,
09:15as well as French emissaries for Lebanon,
09:18attended the parliamentary session.
09:21Paris congratulated the new head of state
09:24and wished Lebanon to be endowed with a strong government,
09:27while the American embassy in Lebanon
09:30congratulated the new president.
09:33The Israeli foreign minister, Jideh Ansar,
09:36hoped that Joseph Aoun's election
09:39would contribute to good relations between neighbors.
09:42Tehran, on the other hand,
09:45saluted the election of the new president
09:48hoping that the two countries would work together
09:51to serve their common interests.
09:54Indirect negotiations between Israel
09:57and Qatar in order to put out the fire in the Gaza Strip.
10:00The talks are focused on the immediate
10:03release of Israeli hostages
10:06on October 7, 2023.
10:09What is going on and what is blocking
10:12in this discussion?
10:18The talks had already been held in December.
10:21But Hamas and Israel had accused each other
10:24of blocking them.
10:27Since January, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
10:30has announced that he will authorize Israeli negotiators
10:33to continue the discussions.
10:36The talks focus on the modalities of a ceasefire
10:39during which an exchange will take place
10:42between people taken hostage during the attack on Hamas
10:45in Israel on October 7, 2023
10:48and Palestinian prisoners detained in Israel.
10:51On the other hand, Hamas also demands
10:54a massive entry of humanitarian aid.
10:57The possibility for the Gazans displaced by the war
11:00to return home. The withdrawal of Israeli troops
11:03and the reopening of crossings between Gaza and the outside world.
11:06Benjamin Netanyahu has on his side
11:09excluded a complete withdrawal of Gazan troops.
11:12Israeli authorities remain firm.
11:15After the war, a governance of the Palestinian territory
11:18for Hamas is impossible.
11:21But what has changed since December?
11:24According to observers, if Benjamin Netanyahu
11:27seems to be more willing to conclude an agreement,
11:30it is because he has expanded the coalition of parties
11:33supporting his government.
11:36They are therefore less threatened when some of his
11:39far-right ministers promise to leave the government
11:42in case of an agreement in Gaza.
11:45Hamas is ready to release 34 of the 95 hostages
11:48held captive in Gaza for 450 days
11:51during the first phase of an agreement with Israel.
11:54One of the main points of discord
11:57is whether or not to cease fire in Gaza.
12:02This time in Chad, a little more than 24 hours
12:05after the mysterious and bloody attack
12:08against his palace in Yemen, President Mahmoud Idris
12:11said on Thursday, to pay tribute to his soldiers
12:14who neutralized the malicious individuals
12:17who, according to him, came to destroy him.
12:20To put an end to the rumors,
12:23while some voices in the opposition
12:26have denounced an assembly of power,
12:29authorities broadcast yesterday on national television
12:32the images recorded by surveillance cameras
12:35at the entrance of the presidential palace
12:38where more than a dozen men can be easily seen.
12:41The few faction guards were violently beaten
12:44by two of them.
12:47Eighteen assailants and two soldiers who guarded the palace
12:50were killed, according to the last report of the authorities,
12:53while six other assailants were injured.
13:00In the Ivory Coast, the government is regulating
13:03mining operation in a more effective way
13:07but also to promote a sustainable and responsible
13:10exploitation of the country's natural resources.
13:13Solutions have been found,
13:16both in terms of fees and to amortize
13:19the harmful effects of mining operation.
13:22Details in this report by Max Roubi and Ange-Wilfred Mergnat.
13:25Water pollution, biodiversity loss,
13:28erosion, soil pollution and well formation
13:31are among the harmful effects of the mining industry
13:35on the environment.
13:38It is therefore a non-sustainable exploitation of natural resources
13:41that degrades the living areas of populations
13:44and alters their health in the Ivory Coast.
13:47To come to an end to this scourge,
13:50the African Federation of Mining Craftsmen
13:53seems to have found an alternative,
13:56a rehabilitation of areas impacted by mining activity.
13:59The person in charge of mining exploitation
14:02is a shepherd to leave a sustainable economic alternative
14:05to the population.
14:08Rehabilitation will be followed regularly.
14:11It gives the economic alternative that pushes people
14:14to cut down other trees to make coal.
14:17The economic alternative and the durability over time
14:20is so important that it becomes
14:23a transmissible agricultural exploitation
14:26from generation to generation.
14:29The mining industry in the Ivory Coast is in full swing.
14:32According to the person in charge of the mining craftsmen,
14:35a global regulation of mining texts
14:38will ensure the competitiveness of the sector in the sub-region.
14:41If we manage to harmonize the law texts,
14:44the behavior will change.
14:47Because for me to take gold to go to Mali or Burkina Faso,
14:50which are our neighboring countries,
14:53there should be more advantages for me than in the Ivory Coast.
14:56If the Burkinabé or the Malian leaves his country
14:59to come and exploit in our country,
15:02it means that here there are more advantages
15:05to do this exploitation than in his country.
15:08So for us it is between operators that we can give
15:11the best practices and the best guidelines
15:14so that the regulation can be practically uniform.
15:17Between 2012 and 2023,
15:20the number of research permits in the Ivory Coast
15:23has increased from 120 to 189,
15:26while the exploitation permits and projects in progress
15:29have gone from 9 to 28.
15:32This period has also seen a strong increase
15:35in annual gold, manganese and nickel production
15:38as well as an increase in artisanal and small-scale mining.
15:41In his New Year's speech,
15:44the President of the Malian Transition
15:47declared the year 2025 the Year of Culture.
15:50The General States of Culture, Artisanal and Tourism
15:53are an opportunity for the players
15:56to focus on the revitalization of the sectors
15:59and their contribution to the return of peace.
16:02Mohamed Dagnoko tells us more.
16:06A week after declaring the year 2025 the Year of Culture,
16:09the General States of Culture, Artisanal and Tourism
16:12support each other to translate into practice
16:15the presidential will.
16:18I am the President of the Transition
16:21and the expression of a cultural renaissance
16:24to give a culture of Malipore to our youth.
16:27A presidential initiative that puts an end
16:30to the emphasis on the cultural revitalization of our lands,
16:33the restoration of social cohesion and living together,
16:36as well as the promotion of the talents of our artists.
16:39For three days, experts will discuss
16:42different themes for the dynamism of the sectors
16:45and for the development of international cooperation.
16:48We will produce the works.
16:51We have 12 work commissions that will work for three days
16:54to bring out the essential elements
16:57to establish peace and development.
17:00Because culture is an industry.
17:03We don't just want it.
17:06We want to live our music.
17:09Everyone knows that the music of the world is of Malian origin and influence.
17:12For the head of Tourism Malian,
17:15a lot of hope is based on his seats for what they can bring.
17:18We have an essentially cultural tourism
17:21and these United States will also allow
17:24to release new perspectives
17:27for the revitalization of the sector of culture.
17:30So profitable to the tourist activity, of course.
17:33It is also through culture
17:36to explore the endogenous knowledge of conflict resolution.
17:39Initiate federative projects.
17:42Projects for a better hygiene of life
17:45of the Malian Lambda.
17:48Projects that will really be the real cement
17:51of better living together in Mali.
17:54A new type of Malian for a new Mali
17:57is the whole meaning of these United States.
18:00And that's it for today.
18:06See you next time on RTVE Africa.
