00:00Hello everyone, and welcome to Mediain TV for your daily press release.
00:14Morocco has highlighted its initiatives on decarbonisation and the fight against the effects of climate change
00:20during a parallel event at the COP29 held in Baku.
00:24The briefing is under the theme of the territorial carbon footprint, a tool for measuring emissions locally.
00:30This event was held at the Moroccan pavilion highlighting the Kingdom's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint,
00:36notably at the level of territorial communities.
00:39The Moroccan Ministry of the Interior highlighted the importance of the Kingdom's low-carbon strategy on the horizon of 2050.
00:47It plans for deep institutional, economic and social reforms over the next 25 years,
00:52with a particular emphasis on cities and regions,
00:55which are key players in reducing carbon emissions and encouraging local sustainable solutions.
01:01In the continuity of the initiative launched in 2013 by the Mohamed VI Foundation for the Protection of the Environment,
01:07the carbon footprint tool has been adapted to the specific needs of local communities
01:11to facilitate the decarbonisation process.
01:15Morocco ranks 8th in the world for the 2025 Climate Performance Index,
01:20becoming the leader in Africa and the Arab world.
01:24The Kingdom is ahead of several pioneering countries in terms of decarbonisation,
01:27such as Germany, 16th, Norway, 9th and Sweden, 11th.
01:31Denmark is in 4th place, with the first three places vacant.
01:37In this report presented at the COP29,
01:39the experts highlight the Kingdom's actions in terms of sustainable development and greenhouse gas reduction.
01:45They also highlight the commitment to reach 52% of renewable energy in the national energy mix by 2030.
01:52The Specialist Magazine recalls that the CCPI evaluates the following countries with four criteria,
01:57in this case, greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energies, energy use and climate policy,
02:04allowing it to assess the performance of climate change policies in 63 countries.
02:13In Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying a new strategy
02:17to speed up the release of hostages, with a huge reward at the key, says the New York Times.
02:22After all the sticks that Israel has broken,
02:24the country has decided to see if the carrots can make a difference,
02:27says the American newspaper in its columns,
02:29while it resists pressure to stop the fire that would free the hostages.
02:33The Israeli Prime Minister promised that the Hebrew state would offer a generous reward
02:38to anyone who brought a hostage by paying 5 million dollars and offering a safe passage to leave Gaza.
02:44The choice is yours, but the result will be the same.
02:47We will all bring them back, he added in his statement.
02:50Since Gaza, Israel estimates that there are 101 captives,
02:53although about a third of them are considered dead.
02:56This offer of reward comes while members of Benjamin Netanyahu's office
03:00are under the spotlight for allegedly disclosing classified documents
03:05in order to influence political opinion, says the daily New Yorker.
03:11Venezuela judges ridiculously the recognition by the United States of Edmundo González Urrutia
03:15as elected president, reports El Nacional in its daily edition.
03:19Washington, which had already recognized him as the winner of the elections,
03:23has for the first time used this term publicly at the beginning of the week.
03:26The Venezuelan people pronounced themselves with force on July 28
03:30and named Edmundo González as elected president.
03:32This is what the Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on his social networks.
03:36The opposition candidate has been in exile in Spain since last September.
03:40The reason why the outgoing Biden administration decided to use this term
03:45is linked to the imminence of Maduro's investiture for a third mandate scheduled for January 10, 2025.
03:51We can read on the El Nacional website
03:53that only one word has been used by the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs
03:57to react to the decision of the United States not to recognize the victory of the outgoing president.
04:02Ridiculous.
04:04SpaceX took off its Starship mega rocket but had to give up catching it.
04:08Its first floor, with mechanical arms, a complicated maneuver,
04:12under the eyes of the elected president, Donald Trump, writes the International Courier.
04:15It is a disappointing result for a long-awaited test mission,
04:20while the company wishes to reiterate the technical prowess
04:24to which it had achieved during the fifth test in October,
04:28a note from the Wall Street Journal.
04:29The latter adds that the presence of Donald Trump alongside Elon Musk,
04:33whom he approached during the campaign
04:35and who is about to play an important role during his second mandate,
04:39is the sign of his interest in a rocket
04:41which is at the heart of SpaceX's space ambitions.
04:44But the close relationship between the two billionaires
04:47requires questions about how Elon Musk will manage the potential conflicts of interest,
04:52given the status of SpaceX as a provider of NASA and the Ministry of Defense,
04:57the Washington Post specifies.
05:00This is the end of this press release.
05:01Thank you all for following it.
05:02Good follow-up on Mediantv.
