00:00Hello everyone, and welcome to Medihand to go over the highlights of this week.
00:18Morocco will host the first ONU Tourism-themed office in Africa.
00:23This will be the Moroccan Information Site, Yabiladi.
00:26This office will be based in the capital and will help support innovation and investment in the sector at the continental level.
00:33In this sense, a siege agreement was signed on Tuesday in the city of Okhre by the Minister of Tourism, Crafts and Social and Solidarity Economy, Fatem Zahra Amour,
00:43and the Secretary-General of the Institute, Zurab Pololikashvili.
00:47The minister said that the choice of Morocco as the first thematic office for Africa
00:52is dedicated to the continental leadership of the kingdom in terms of tourist development.
00:58A Korean prime minister, a president in exile, inculpated and detained.
01:02According to the Korea Times, President Yoon Seok-yool was inculpated on Sunday
01:07for carrying out an insurrection related to the fiasco of the Martial Law Declaration of last month.
01:13The prosecutors inculpated him just one day before the end of his detention period
01:18following his provisional arrest by the investigation office on the corruption of senior officials on January 15.
01:24They also stated that they inculpated Yoon only for carrying out an insurrection,
01:29invoking fears that the suspect may destroy evidence.
01:32The American media NPR is back on the American Airlines plane,
01:36which collided on Wednesday evening with a Black Hawk helicopter in Washington.
01:41The plane crashed into the Potomac River.
01:44American Airlines stated that 60 passengers and four crew members were on board.
01:50The Pentagon told NPR that the helicopter carrying three soldiers was based in Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
01:58According to the chief of firefighters, the efforts of his teams go from rescue to recovery.
02:03The authorities have announced that only 28 bodies have been found so far,
02:08but they estimate that there are no survivors.
02:11It must be believed that this Wednesday was the day of the plane crashes.
02:15According to Sudan Tribune, at least 19 people died in a plane crash.
02:19This one transported oil workers from the State of Unity in southern Sudan to the capital, Juba.
02:25The Minister of State Information stated that the small plane rented by the Greater Pioneer Operating Company
02:32carried 21 people on board, including two pilots, but the two survivors, a South Sudanese and an Indian, are in critical condition.
02:40The information site underlined that plane crashes often occurred in southern Sudan.
02:46Speaking of tech, speaking of AI, the Chinese company DeepSea revealed its new artificial intelligence early this week.
02:53This is what the French media reported 20 minutes ago.
02:56Raising many questions about its security and reliability,
02:59the competitor of Chad GPT causes concerns in the Silicon Valley and among some users.
03:06The raised concerns concern in particular the potentially malicious use of DeepSea and the collection of personal data,
03:13as well as the censorship of certain sensitive political subjects for the Chinese government.
03:18This breakthrough in Chinese AI could have significant economic and political implications.
03:24Barely available, Donald Trump has described this new AI as a warning signal for the American tech industry.
03:31The AI is therefore likely to become an additional aspect of the economic war between the two world powers.
03:37Still in the United States, Elon Musk launched X-Money to offer payment solutions on his social network.
03:44This is what Express published.
03:46The American entrepreneur announced on Tuesday the launch of a digital wallet and payment services provided by Visa available on the X social network.
03:54The CEO, Linda Iaccarino, said that the platform has concluded an agreement with Visa to be the first partner of what he calls the X-Money account.
04:03Visa will therefore allow users of this social network to transfer funds between traditional bank accounts and their digital wallets
04:11and make instant peer-to-peer payments, as with Zelle or Venmo.
04:16This is X's first concrete initiative to create a financial ecosystem for the social network.
04:23In the United Kingdom, museums help to reconquer the capacities of attention.
04:29This is what the International Courier called art in full consciousness, guided meditation or museotherapy.
04:36More and more museums are therefore seen as the ideal place to help us resist the screens and the feelings of acceleration of the world.
04:43The Manchester Art Gallery has dedicated a room next to classic exhibition spaces to offer a whole new experience in the shelter of the crowd and tumult.
04:53Its name is Room to Breathe.
04:56In this small dark green room, only three paintings are hung on the wall.
05:00Visitors are asked to sit down and contemplate these works to really see them.
05:05Guided by a meditation that they can download, visitors are invited to spend up to 15 minutes with the work of art of their choice face to face.
05:14We close this street of precepts with 360, which is titled Festival du Livre Africain de Marrakech 2025, when the feminine imagination redraws the world.
05:25The opening of the third edition of this festival was marked by a round table on the role of women in the transformation of society.
05:33This conference brought together leading figures, including Christiane Taubira, Ali Ben Makhlouf, Amanda Devi and Najat Vallaud-Belkacem.
05:42Together, the participants discussed how the feminine imagination transforms the world and questions established systems.
05:50The Moroccan website highlighted the points of view of the various speakers.
05:54Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, for example, delivered a powerful reflection on the place of women in the political sphere.
06:01While Christiane Taubira denounced an oppressive system, not only towards women, but also towards men.
06:07Ali Ben Makhlouf had to take advantage of this round table to pay tribute to Aicha Chouna, a great activist for women's rights in Morocco, who disappeared in 2022.
06:16We touch at the end of this press release. Very good follow-up of the programs on Medien.
