00:00Hello everyone, welcome to Mediain TV for your daily newscast, La Revue de Presse.
00:16The tourist sector in Morocco has gone through a crisis in the latest report of the World Bank,
00:21which sees a positive evolution, says Challenge.
00:24According to this document, published by the World Bank,
00:29tourism plays a central role in the Moroccan economy,
00:32constituting an important source of income, employment and currency.
00:36After the Covid-19 pandemic, the sector experienced a marked recovery,
00:39reinforcing its importance in the country's economic recovery.
00:42However, the World Bank notes that Morocco has not managed to increase its market share
00:47compared to its Mediterranean competitors such as Spain, Turkey and Egypt.
00:51In addition, it has also seen a decrease in average tourist expenses of nearly 2,000 dirhams
00:56in just over a decade.
00:57To consolidate these gains and improve its regional competitiveness,
01:00the World Bank recommends that Morocco implement strategies
01:03aimed at improving the quality of the tourist experience
01:06and increasing average visitor expenses.
01:09This includes the development of new infrastructures,
01:12the promotion of ecological and cultural tourism
01:14and the improvement of services for visitors, says Challenge in the report.
01:20The African Union is concerned about the situation of the monkey virus
01:23and calls for a concerted action, says Sahara Media.
01:26In a joint statement, the Mauritanian President Mohamed Welsheikh Rezouani,
01:30President of the African Union,
01:32and Moussa Fakih Mohamed, President of the Organization's Commission,
01:36called on all member states of the United Nations
01:38to strengthen surveillance and tracking systems
01:41and to intensify campaigns for awareness and vaccination
01:44against the growing spread of the monkey virus in Africa.
01:47The report recalls that the epidemiological report of the monkey virus
01:51is alarming, with more than 26,000 cases,
01:53of which 724 deaths, says the report,
01:56adding that the epidemic does not seem to spare any region.
01:59In Africa, the statement calls on the international community
02:02to intensify its efforts to ensure the success
02:05and efficiency of the continental plan and respond to the disease.
02:10Burma is hit hard by the typhoon Yagi,
02:13which has already caused 226 deaths and 77 missing,
02:16according to the latest state-of-the-state television report,
02:19reports the Hindustan Times.
02:21The number of deaths is twice that of the previous report,
02:23which reported 113 deaths.
02:25According to official data,
02:27floods and consecutive landslides against this typhoon,
02:30which hit Southeast Asia at the beginning of the month,
02:32killed a total of more than 500 people in Burma,
02:34Vietnam, Laos and Thailand.
02:36According to the Burmese television channel MRTV,
02:39floods have also destroyed nearly 260,000 hectares of rice fields
02:43and other crops in the country.
02:45The crisis has pushed people to call on the international community
02:48to help, an unusual decision,
02:50notes the Hindustan Times,
02:52which specifies that India has sent 10 tons of aid,
02:55including dry food, clothes and medicines.
03:00In France now, the new Prime Minister, Michel Barnier,
03:03should start calling on his potential future ministers this weekend,
03:07but the obstacles have multiplied, explains Le Parisien.
03:10Let's add to that the time that is pressing,
03:12since there are only two weeks left
03:14before the resumption of the work of the National Assembly
03:16and the crucial budget review.
03:18In its first circle, the Savoyard

03:23These are experienced personalities
03:25on the main ministries
03:27to be able to open the rest of the Moroccans
03:29to new faces.
03:31Except that things are getting worse,
03:33and he is in a hurry anyway.
03:35Without an official release for the moment,
03:37the names are piling up these last few days.
03:39Laurent Wauquiez inside, Valérie Pécresse in the economy,
03:41Bruno Retailleau in the guardhouse,
03:43so many unanswered questions,
03:45while Barnier's entourage says
03:47that it is now not impossible
03:49to wait until next Sunday
03:51to have the government for the morning meeting

04:05The boss of the American conglomerate,
04:07DJC, warned the employees of its administrative services
04:09that they should stop teleworking
04:11as of January 2025.
04:13Like many giants in the technology sector,
04:15the American group had agreed
04:17that its employees work remotely
04:19during the COVID-19 pandemic
04:21and encountered difficulties in getting them
04:23back to the office in full time.
04:25Amazon has already demanded in February 2023
04:27a presence of three days a week.
04:29An employee confided to the American Daily
04:31that this decision had taken the employees
04:33by surprise and that some had mentioned
04:35yesterday the possibility
04:37to strike and take other actions
04:39to protest against the abolition
04:41of teleworking.
