00:15We will continue the news on Median TV Afrique.
00:18Thank you for joining us for this round of news.
00:20Here are the headlines.
00:22In Davos for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum,
00:25Donald Trump remains the most absent.
00:28Neither the European Ursula von der Leyen nor the Chinese Deng Xiaojiang
00:32pronounced his name during their opening speech on Tuesday.
00:35State news in a few moments.
00:40The Chief of Staff of the Israeli army, General Herziya Levy,
00:43has presented his resignation today.
00:46The head of the opposition, Yair Lapid,
00:48called him to resign from the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:52In Morocco, the city of Casablanca needs more blood donors.
00:59For the past few weeks, the city's regional blood transfusion center
01:04has suffered a significant drop in blood reserves.
01:07We will meet again shortly for the development.
01:12Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Davos, Donald Trump is on everyone's lips,
01:17also on everyone's minds this year,
01:20at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum.
01:23In Switzerland, neither the European Ursula von der Leyen
01:26nor the Chinese Deng Xiaojiang
01:28pronounced his name during their opening speech on Tuesday.
01:33Decryption with Sowet Janina.
01:37Trump puts the world elites of Davos in complete discomfort.
01:41The World Economic Forum of Davos has been meeting since Monday, January 20,
01:4560 heads of state and government, as well as 900 business leaders.
01:50However, this year, a subject occupies all minds,
01:53the return of Donald Trump to the White House
01:55and its consequences on the world economy.
01:58Barely settled in the White House,
02:00Trump claimed that he was going to impose 25% customs rights
02:03for products from Canada and Mexico from February 1.
02:08While waiting for Trump's videoconference,
02:11scheduled only for January 23,
02:13it is the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen,
02:16and Chinese Vice Prime Minister Deng Xiaojiang
02:19who held the opening speeches in Davos.
02:22Two continents for a single vision,
02:24the President of the European Commission,
02:26she has exhorted the European Union to change
02:29and move at a higher speed.
02:37We have entered a new era of fierce geostrategic competition.
02:42The main world economies are fighting for access to raw materials,
02:46new technologies and the world trade,
02:49from AI to clean technology,
02:52quantum computing to space,
02:54from the Arctic to the Earth.
02:56As this competition intensifies,
02:59we will probably continue to have frequent use of economic tools
03:05such as sanctions, export controls
03:08and customs tariffs intended to preserve
03:10economic and national security.
03:13But it is important to find a balance.
03:16The imperative is to preserve our security
03:19in the face of our opportunity to innovate
03:21and to increase our prosperity.
03:28Chinese Vice Prime Minister Deng Xiaojiang
03:30has defended multilateralism.
03:33China is likely to be one of the next on the list
03:36of countries affected by the punitive import taxes
03:39promised by Donald Trump.
03:48Economic globalization is not a zero-sum game
03:51where you lose and I win,
03:53but a process of mutual benefits and shared progress.
03:59Of course, economic globalization can also cause
04:02contradictions and disagreements in the distribution of benefits.
04:05We must fully exploit all the possibilities
04:08that we have to overcome economic globalization,
04:12the difficulties of development,
04:14use the power of inclusive cooperation
04:17and promote economic globalization
04:19towards a new, more dynamic,
04:21more inclusive and more sustainable stage.
04:26Moreover, if Europe and China are among those
04:29who have the most to lose in the face of the protectionist policy
04:32proclaimed by Trump,
04:34its position on the international scene
04:36will also have an important impact on a country like Ukraine,
04:39which is approaching three years of war with Russia.
04:42Conflicts in the Middle East,
04:43at a time when a truce has just come into force in Gaza,
04:45should also be at the heart of the interventions
04:48of Israeli President Isaac Herzog
04:50and Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs
04:53Mohammed bin Abd al-Rahman al-Thani.
04:57Just after his speech,
04:59the American president, Donald Trump,
05:01signed several regulatory texts.
05:04His first decrees are about immigration,
05:06the withdrawal of international bodies
05:08on climate and health,
05:10and the explanations with Dinam Rini.
05:14Freshly invested this Monday,
05:16the American president intends to take action
05:19with several decisions already taken.
05:22Donald Trump and his new government
05:25have already planned several decrees
05:27instituting new policies.
05:29One of the first decrees that the new leader has signed
05:32is the national state of emergency
05:34at the southern border of the United States
05:36with Mexico.
05:37The Republican has announced his intention
05:40to send additional armed forces
05:42to help secure the border.
05:45According to a person in charge of the incoming administration,
05:48Trump also intends to designate criminal cartels
05:51as global terrorists.
05:53Trump plans to take a series of executive measures
05:57aimed at repressing legal and illegal immigration
06:00and accelerating expulsions.
06:02The American president will also promulgate a decree
06:05aimed at putting an end to birth citizenship
06:08for children born in the United States
06:10whose parents do not have a legal immigration status.
06:13He plans to suspend the American program
06:16for the rehabilitation of refugees
06:18for at least four months.
06:20During his speech,
06:23Trump stated that his government
06:25also intends to resume control of the Panama Canal.
06:28Decisive measures to fight inflation
06:31are also part of his program.
06:33In this sense, the new owner of the White House
06:36has signed a symbolic memorandum
06:39that orders all federal agencies
06:41to fight inflation of consumption prices.
06:44The new leader also aims to lighten
06:46regulatory constraints
06:48weighing on the production of oil and natural gas.
06:52In terms of trade,
06:54Trump has declared that he would impose
06:5510% customs rights on global imports,
06:5960% on Chinese products,
07:02and an import surtax of 25%
07:05on Canadian and Mexican products
07:07from February 1st.
07:09The American president has also signed a decree
07:12removing the United States
07:13from the World Health Organization.
07:16He has also ordered an in-depth review
07:18of American expenses in terms of foreign aid.
07:22Trump has signed documents that, according to him,
07:25will officially remove the United States
07:28from the Paris Agreement on climate.
07:31The withdrawal of the United States
07:32from the Paris Agreement is underway.
07:35The president has signed a decree
07:37declaring an emergency state
07:40to increase the production of hydrocarbons.
07:44What are the environmental and economic impacts
07:46of this decision in the global context
07:49of the energy transition?
07:51Let's listen to the analysis of Mustafa Tosa,
07:53political and editorial analyst.
07:56The withdrawal of the United States
07:59from the Paris Agreement
08:00was already a decision
08:02that was taken by Donald Trump in 2016.
08:06But with the arrival of Joe Biden,
08:08the Democrats Joe Biden,
08:09they came back to this agreement
08:11in one way or another.
08:13And Donald Trump took this case
08:16to heart
08:18because he believes that the United States
08:20should not assume
08:24the responsibility of what is happening on the planet.
08:29But by making this decision,
08:30many commentators believe that Donald Trump
08:34is breaking the very logic
08:37of the COP21 and the Paris Agreement,
08:39namely that it is based on the polluter-payer.
08:42The one who pollutes more must pay more.
08:45So, by withdrawing,
08:47first of all, many countries are suffering
08:51from this climate change
08:53and this transformation of the planet.
08:55Victims who do not have an economy
08:58that has polluted enough.
09:01They are deprived of all the subsidies
09:04that the logic of the Paris Agreement provides them.
09:07But above all, by leaving the Paris Agreement,
09:10the United States of Donald Trump
09:12joins the very closed club of countries
09:16that are not signatories of the Paris Agreement,
09:17namely Yemen, Libya and Iran.
09:21But it is said that Donald Trump,
09:25motivated by an economic logic,
09:28does not want to pay for others.
09:31He does not want American money
09:33to go to countries that do not pollute.
09:35So he makes a decision to break
09:37with the international community,
09:38which will inevitably have a major impact
09:41on the rest of the events.
09:43Back to the speech of the 47th American president.
09:47Will Donald Trump adopt a more aggressive,
09:51conscious approach, which he has only four years
09:53to realize the many promises
09:55made during his campaign?
09:57On this subject, let's listen to Mark Feffel,
09:59former director of communication
10:02at the White House.
10:04I don't wonder right now.
10:06When Donald Trump, eight years ago,
10:07gave his inauguration address,
10:10it was very much looking at American carnage.
10:13Eight years ago, during his ambassadorship speech,
10:16Donald Trump evoked American carnage
10:18by highlighting what he perceived
10:20as the difficulties and problems
10:22inherited not only from eight years
10:24of Barack Obama's presidency,
10:26but also from previous administrations.
10:29He committed himself to rectifying
10:30these malfunctions, which have been exacerbated
10:33by the COVID-19 pandemic
10:35and by the election of Joe Biden,
10:37former senator and ex-president.
10:39More aggressive person
10:43when it comes to seeing that he only has four years.
10:45The question that worries many Americans today
10:47is whether Trump will adopt
10:49a more aggressive posture,
10:51aware that he has only four years
10:54to realize the many promises
10:56made during his campaign.
10:58Given the weak Republican majority
11:00in the House of Representatives,
11:01it will be difficult for him to move forward
11:04without a certain bipartisan support.
11:06He will therefore not be able to allow himself
11:08to be too dogmatic
11:09or to multiply attacks on the opposition.
11:12...throwing stones at the other side of the aisle,
11:16he has to find some ways
11:18to work collaboratively with them,
11:19especially if he wants to get things done,
11:21such as his tax cuts, which he wants to...
11:24Donald Trump will have to find ways
11:26to collaborate with the Democrats,
11:29especially if he wants to bring about
11:30his flagship projects,
11:31such as tax cuts,
11:33immigration reform,
11:34or his foreign policy initiatives.
11:37His ambition, in particular,
11:38is to put an end to the conflict
11:40between Ukraine and Russia,
11:41to continue the process of putting out the fire
11:44and advancing them in Gaza,
11:45and to face the economic challenges
11:47posed by powers such as China,
11:50India and Indonesia.
11:51...and the ongoing challenges that America has
11:54from a competitive standpoint,
11:57when it goes up against a superpower
12:00and a competitor such as communist China.
12:02President Trump is therefore faced
12:04with many challenges,
12:05with a limited time to impose himself politically.
12:08He seems determined to leave a lasting mark
12:11by capitalizing on what he can accomplish
12:13during this second mandate
12:15and by making sure to pass this legacy
12:18on to future generations.
12:19...in this second term,
12:20and what he can hold and move over
12:22to the next generation.
12:24During his speech on investment,
12:26Trump called on all Americans
12:28to come together and contribute
12:30to common success.
12:32For the 47th president of the United States,
12:34success can only be achieved
12:36if all Americans work together.
12:39Michael Flanagan,
12:41a former Republican member
12:43of the American Congress,
12:45gives us his analysis.
12:48The speech was very good.
12:49The speech was excellent.
12:51As usual, Trump moved away from the written text,
12:54which can sometimes cause some discomfort.
12:56However, the speech itself was remarkable.
12:59It reminded me of Ronald Reagan's
13:01inaugural speech,
13:03in which he laid out a long list
13:06of failures of the Carter administration
13:08and described the disastrous state of the nation
13:10at the time,
13:11which was still marked by the aftermath
13:13of the Vietnam War
13:14and weakened by the failures
13:16of the Carter administration.
13:18...disastrous condition...
13:19Although he was a good man,
13:22he simply could not impose himself
13:24as an effective president.
13:26Reagan had proceeded to an evaluation
13:28of his failures and announced the measures
13:30necessary to improve the situation
13:32of the country.
13:33He concluded with a memorable sentence,
13:35Why should we not believe
13:37that we can achieve it?
13:38After all, we are Americans.
13:41It was a moment of incredible
13:43unifying power.
13:45Trump's speech today
13:46reflected a good number of his ideas.
13:49I think it was also
13:51a very inspiring speech.
13:52Let's call on all Americans
13:53to get together to contribute
13:55to common success.
13:56Because in the end,
13:57success can only be achieved
13:59if we work together.
14:02In the next area,
14:03the Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army,
14:05General Herzl Levi,
14:07presented today his evocative resignation,
14:10his responsibility in the unprecedented
14:13attack of Hamas against Israel
14:15on October 7, 2023,
14:17according to his letter
14:18transmitted by the army.
14:20But this resignation hurts his government
14:22in a political situation
14:24already very tense.
14:26A few minutes later,
14:27the head of the opposition,
14:29Yair Lapid, called on X
14:32to resign from the government
14:33of Benjamin Netanyahu,
14:35the Minister of Defense.
14:36Israel Katz said
14:37that he was going to meet candidates
14:40in his succession in the days to come,
14:42according to a statement from his office.
14:48Meanwhile, this Tuesday,
14:49Israel announced that it had launched
14:52a large-scale military operation
14:53in Jenin,
14:54busting Palestinian armed groups
14:57in the occupied West Bank,
14:58killing nine Palestinians,
15:00according to the Palestinian Authority.
15:02The day after Donald Trump's
15:03investiture in the Israeli government,
15:06the Israeli army,
15:08hoping for a marked support,
15:10announced that it had launched
15:11an anti-terrorist operation
15:13in the occupied territories
15:15of Israel since 1967.
15:17The extensive and large-scale operation
15:21aims to eradicate
15:22terrorism in Jenin,
15:24said Benjamin Netanyahu.
15:31Any total or partial annexation
15:34of the West Bank by Israel
15:35would be a very serious violation
15:37of international law.
15:39It is the UN Secretary-General's
15:41warning that gives the statements
15:45in this sense to the Israeli officials.
15:48I am deeply concerned
15:51by the existential threat
15:52to the integrity and continuity
15:55of the Palestinian territory
15:57occupied by Gaza and the West Bank,
16:00said Antonio Guterres
16:02at a meeting of the Security Council
16:04on the situation in the Middle East.
16:10In New York, Morocco pleaded
16:13in favour of the ceasefire in Gaza.
16:17The kingdom said it hoped for the launch
16:19of a real peace process in the Middle East.
16:22The details are with Raja Ingo.
16:27The ceasefire agreement should open the way
16:30to the reconstruction of what was destroyed
16:33by the war,
16:34said Morocco's permanent representative
16:38to the UN, Omar Hilal,
16:40at the meeting of the Al-Qaeda committee
16:43on the situation in the Middle East.
16:46In this meeting,
16:47which also dealt with the Palestinian issue,
16:50Omar Hilal pleaded for the launch
16:53of a real peace process in Gaza.
16:56The Moroccan ambassador,
16:57in front of the Security Council,
16:59also asked for the establishment
17:01of a Palestinian state
17:03on the 1967 borders
17:05with East Jerusalem as capital.
17:08He added that Gaza should be
17:10an integral part of the Palestinian territories,
17:14independent.
17:15Omar Hilal also recalled
17:17Morocco's constant and clear position
17:21regarding the Palestinian cause.
17:23In his speech during this open debate,
17:26the ambassador revealed that Morocco
17:29congratulates itself on the entry into force
17:31of the ceasefire agreement.
17:32Morocco wishes that the ceasefire
17:34is fully respected
17:36and that it allows the cessation of attacks
17:38against civilians,
17:39the release of hostages and detainees,
17:42the return of the displaced
17:43and the fluid access
17:44and sufficient quantity of humanitarian aid.
17:48As a reminder, since its entry into force,
17:50the ceasefire agreement is still in force.
17:53A second exchange of prisoners
17:55should take place next weekend.
17:58At least 66 dead and 51 injured.
18:02This is the report of the fire
18:04that occurred in a ski resort
18:06in the centre of Turkey.
18:08The cause of the disaster is not yet known,
18:10but already, the controversy and anger
18:12inflame among the rescuers
18:14who denounce negligence.
18:16An investigation entrusted to six prosecutors
18:19has been opened,
18:20as well as a committee of experts.
18:23President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
18:25also assured that everything
18:26will be put in place
18:28to shed light on the drama.
18:33Direction la Tunisie,
18:35where five members of the executive office
18:37of the Tunisian General Union
18:38of the main trade union work in the country
18:42have claimed during a press conference
18:44the need to hold an extraordinary congress
18:48and called General Secretary Noureddine Tabboubi
18:52to resign.
18:53From Tunis, Najwa Bechat gives us the point.
18:57In spite of the abandoned political-economic news
19:01and subject to a controversial word,
19:03the Tunisian General Union of Work,
19:06the most powerful trade union center in the country,
19:09shines by its absence.
19:11It is going through an unprecedented crisis,
19:13marked by deep internal divergences
19:16that have reached the point of demanding
19:19the resignation of its Secretary General,
19:21Noureddine Tabboubi.
19:23We bear responsibility for not reaching a solution.
19:26The trade union center is going through an unprecedented crisis,
19:30of which 80% is due to the Secretary General of the organization,
19:34who has not sought a solution to resolve this crisis,
19:38which we consider to be the most dangerous
19:41of all the crises it has experienced.
19:45With the congress held in July 2021,
19:48the GTTA began to disunite.
19:50The latter allowed the Secretary General of the organization,
19:54Noureddine Tabboubi, to proceed with a revision
19:57of the status of the trade union center
19:59and to draft a third mandate within his executive office.
20:04This had been qualified as a forced passage.
20:07Since then, he has lost all legitimacy
20:10in the eyes of the public and a good part of his 750,000 adherents.
20:17There is a serious crisis within the trade union center.
20:20It has proven that it is unable to formulate its social files,
20:25which has prompted President Recessaïde to seize the opportunity
20:28to deal with the trade union issue himself.
20:31And this can be seen through his recent speech
20:35on the modification of the labor code
20:38and by talking about women workers in the agricultural sector
20:42and many other social issues,
20:44of which the Tunisian labor union was supposed to be concerned.
20:49Subsequently, and with the announcement of the measures of July 25, 2021,
20:54the disunion was accentuated within this organization.
20:58By playing the role of a docile organization
21:01and prioritizing the salvation of the country,
21:04the GTTA found itself trapped between the populism
21:07instilled by the system of governance by the bases,
21:11aimed at disintegrating intermediate entities
21:15and the liberal approach in the economic and social sectors.
21:22Let's go around the continent to talk about the disappearance of Moroccan expatriates.
21:26According to the concordant sources reported on Mediantv,
21:29the efforts to find four Moroccan drivers
21:32who disappeared between Niger and Burkina Faso are still underway.
21:37The latter moved between the city of Dori, northeast of Burkina Faso,
21:42and the city of Tira, west of Niger.
21:44According to these same sources, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
21:48and the embassies of the Kingdom in Burkina Faso and Niger
21:51are in close coordination with local authorities and the two countries
21:56to determine the fate of the drivers.
21:58According to local sources, the drivers have taken a road
22:02where armed terrorist groups known to target trucks and vehicles are acting.
22:092024, a record year for Moroccan tourism.
22:13Tourist revenues in currency should exceed 110 billion dirhams.
22:19In 2024, said today in the Chamber of Representatives
22:23the Minister of Tourism and Crafts,
22:25but also of the Social and Solidarity Economy, Fateme Zahra Amor.
22:29At a meeting of the Commission of the Productive Sectors
22:33devoted to examining issues related to the tourist sector,
22:37Ms. Amor indicated that Morocco reached record numbers in 2024
22:42with 17.4 million tourists having visited the Kingdom,
22:46an increase of 20% compared to 2023 and 35% compared to 2019,
22:53consolidating its position as the first tourist destination in Africa.
22:58The results were obtained thanks to the measures
23:01put in place in accordance with the High Royal Orientation.
23:08Let's talk energy with the turnover of the nine gas and petrol companies
23:14which amounted to 20.6 billion dirhams.
23:20During the third quarter of 2024,
23:23it fell by nearly 5.8% compared to the same period of the previous year,
23:29or 21.4 billion dirhams.
23:32In terms of volume, total sales of gas and petrol
23:36amounted to nearly 2.33 billion litres
23:40in the third quarter of 2024,
23:43an increase of nearly 4.8% in annual sales.
23:47The Competition Council, in its report on the T3 2024,
23:51specifies this in relation to the follow-up of commitments
23:54made by the gas and petrol companies
23:58as part of the transactional agreements concluded with the Council.
24:04Ladies and gentlemen, for the past few weeks,
24:06the Casablanca Blood Transfusion Regional Centre
24:09has suffered a significant drop in blood reserves.
24:13They reached an average of three days.
24:16Younes Mazzi and Younes Zguiri went to Emma Fikri for the story.
24:24The Casablanca Blood Transfusion Regional Centre
24:27is sounding the alarm,
24:29covering only three days of need with 200 donors per day.
24:33The centre's reserves are far from being sufficient.
24:36This shortage is mainly due to the decrease in the number of donors
24:40due to winter diseases and the use of antibiotics
24:44that limit the possibility of donating blood.
24:50The flu is one of the main reasons why people don't donate their blood.
24:55Taking antibiotics also affects this operation.
24:58This has led to a significant decrease in the number of donors,
25:01especially among volunteers.
25:03We are therefore calling on the people of Casablanca
25:05to come and donate a drop of blood.
25:07As for people who have the flu,
25:09at the cost of antibiotics,
25:11they can donate their blood after a ten-day delay.
25:18Despite this situation, many citizens
25:21continued to go to the transfusion centres,
25:24thus contributing to increasing the reserves.
25:26A total of about 400 donors is still necessary
25:29to meet the acute needs of hospitals.
25:32According to official statistics,
25:34the Casablanca region represents 36% of the national blood consumption.
25:42I came to donate blood because I am used to donating every three months,
25:45given that the demand is high.
25:47People need us, especially when the reserves are low.
25:50I came to donate blood.
25:52It is an act of generosity during this holy month.
25:55We hope that others will follow this example.
26:02This situation of shortage in Casablanca
26:05reflects the reality of many centres across the kingdom
26:08that need more donors to strengthen the reserves
26:11and guarantee sufficient coverage.
26:14The World Health Organization recommends
26:17to maintain blood reserves that cover a period of about seven days.
26:20This concludes this newscast.
