00:00Hello everyone, welcome to Mediain TV.
00:13Only a few years away from the World Cup 2030, Morocco aims to make a leap forward with
00:185G technology.
00:19But where are we?
00:21This is a challenge.
00:22A commitment from the government and a requirement from FIFA, 5G must be deployed in Morocco
00:28before the World Cup.
00:29In 6 years, according to the executive, this technology should cover 25% of the national
00:33territory by 2026, to reach a total of 70% of the population.
00:38However, to date, no concrete announcement has been made, says the magazine Challenge.
00:43Quoting sources close to the file, the specialized magazine explains that one of the main challenges
00:47lies in the mutualization of the efforts of equipment operators, given the high costs
00:52of investments.
00:53In addition, the adoption of this high-speed technology requires the generalization of
00:58fiber optics throughout the territory.
01:01In Morocco, although this technology is already present, its coverage remains relatively
01:05limited.
01:06A delay that can be explained by the constraints of a particularly rigid regulatory framework,
01:11although some public actors who have underused fiber optic networks, such as
01:16ONCF for example, cannot market them to other operators, yet very demanding.
01:21In Canada, to pursue this press release, the number 2 of the government, Chrystia Freeland,
01:28resigns on the basis of customs threats against Donald Trump, according to Globe and Mail.
01:33She has just shot a grenade, summarizes the national media.
01:37Ottawa is plunged into a total crisis after the Deputy Prime Minister resigned
01:42at the beginning of the week for reasons of divergence with Justin Trudeau on how to
01:46manage the economic war that is taking place with the United States, reports Le Quotidien
01:50canadien.
01:51In a letter addressed to the Prime Minister, Freeland evokes Donald Trump's possible
01:55tariff war, which has announced that it wants to pass customs rights to 25% with Canada
02:00and believes that it is necessary to avoid the costly political tricks that we cannot
02:03afford.
02:04A probable allusion to the tax cuts recently granted in particular by the Canadian government.
02:10Like Freeland, the Conservative opposition and dissatisfied Canadians blame Trudeau
02:16for his short-term political survival.
02:18Note the Globe and Mail.
02:19In Mar-a-Lago, Trump must rub his hands when he sees the Prime Minister decomposing
02:24at a glance and he must tell himself that he will only make a plug of a country as badly
02:28governed.
02:29Concludes the duty.
02:30Iran has been living for a few days at the rate of severe power cuts.
02:36Fuel shortages, reports the International Courier, taking up the columns of the Iran
02:41The shortage of gas, the main fuel of the power plants in the country, has indeed caused
02:46growing pressure on the national power grid, says the Prose Journal of Power.
02:50The Ministry of Energy has tried to minimize the damage by cutting daily power supply
02:55for two hours, explains Le Quotidien.
02:58Without which, he adds, the country would have been faced with a generalized breakdown
03:02for several days.
03:03In this country strangled by Western sanctions and suffering from poor governance, schools,
03:08public administration and shopping centers have been forced to close their doors or reduce
03:13their opening hours.
03:14Authorities have thus decreed, last Saturday, December 14, the closure of schools and public
03:20buildings in Tehran and in half of the 31 provinces of the country.
03:24This decision was renewed on Monday, while a wave of cold blows over the country.
03:29In the United States, a poll shows that the electoral system has regained more legitimacy
03:35in 2024, an evolution especially marked on the part of Republican voters, explains
03:40the New York Times.
03:41Rather comforting, after Joe Biden's victory in 2020, this observation nevertheless calls
03:47on us to wonder if the Republicans would no longer trust the system they carry.
03:53Brendan Nihan, political scientist and director of Bright Line Watch, a university observatory
03:59that commissioned the survey at the YouGov Institute.
04:02The gap between the reaction of Democratic and Republican voters to the defeat is striking.
04:07Note the Center-Left newspaper.
04:0983% of Democrats consider legitimate the result of the 2024 presidential election, when only
04:1427% of Republicans considered the result legitimate four years ago, explains the publication.
04:19These figures suggest that Democratic suspicions did not persist on a large scale after Vice
04:25President Kamala Harris recognized her defeat, comments the Daily New York, while Donald
04:30Trump had not ceased to denounce a fraudulent election in 2020.
04:39This is the end of this press release.
04:40Thank you all for following it.
04:41Have a good rest of the program.
