00:39Abdel Fattah el-Aftid, we speak about it in Zonest.
00:44The United States is on the verge of a budgetary paralysis after the successive failures of
00:50several texts at the Congress, and then no issue to the crisis is destined for the world.
01:00After the revocation of the mayor of Dakar, following a definitive decision of justice,
01:05the inhabitants of the Senegalese capital call for preserving social cohesion.
01:12In Morocco, it's gone for the second edition of the national regionalization seats.
01:19The shipment of works was given this morning in Tangier.
01:24On this occasion, His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, which gives a very special importance to this project,
01:30to address a message to the participants, a message read by the Minister of the Interior
01:36Abdel Fattah el-Aftid, in this message, the sovereign called for the elaboration of a clear and consensual roadmap
01:43which defines the strategic orientations for the next stage of this reform.
01:49The sovereign also raised seven major challenges on the effective application of the national
01:56administrative deconcentration chart, the audit and the operationalization of the attributions
02:03of the authoritarian collectivities, in particular regional councils, and the strengthening of participatory democracy
02:10at the regional and local level, in accordance with the provisions of the constitution of the kingdom.
02:19For two days, Tangier will vibrate at the pace of the second edition of the national regionalization seats.
02:27In order to advance the participants in these works, in accordance with the royal orientations,
02:33they will try to explore the tracks allowing to enhance the correlation between the needs of development,
02:40the effectiveness of territorial planning and the performance in the exercise of regional competences.
02:47It will also be an opportunity to point out the state of progress of the implementation of the multiple components of this project,
02:54which concerns the execution of the recommendations issued in the first edition held in 2019.
03:04We remain in the kingdom where the government continues its consultations in the framework of the implementation
03:10of a new roadmap for employment. This file was at the heart of the meeting yesterday between the head of the government,
03:17Azizat Ranoch, and the representatives of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises, Alaa Ben Ali.
03:25Employment is one of the main priorities of the Arnouche government.
03:29The 2025 financial law has allocated to this site an estimated budget of 14 billion dirhams.
03:34Governmental consultations continue with the actors of the employment sector,
03:39and this Thursday it was the turn of the representatives of the CGEM to present their vision.
03:48The government continues its consultations with the private sector.
03:52As you know, we have prepared a strategy for employment with specific programs
03:56that concern all Moroccans in all regions of Morocco, in various sectors,
04:01whether for small and medium enterprises.
04:04Programs that also concern all those who are unemployed and do not have a diploma,
04:09and also concern the rural world.
04:11And so today we are listening to the proposals of the CGEM, which are interesting and very precise.
04:18The meeting also looked at the sector of services.
04:21The latter will also know a resumption and the launch of a multitude of projects
04:26that will be ready for the World Cup 2030.
04:33As representatives of the private sector, we have made a diagnosis of the situation of employment in Morocco,
04:39and we have listed the different proposals and we have presented them.
04:44And the government was listening and promised us to implement everything
04:49in order to work together and create as many job opportunities as possible.
04:57The new roadmap for employment also pays special attention to the rural world
05:02and the initiatives to develop it.
05:04Finally, the creation of SMEs will benefit from support measures
05:08and specific training will be proposed.
05:12The General Assembly of the United Nations adopted by consensus the biennial resolution
05:17presented by Morocco on the promotion of sustainable tourism,
05:21including ecotourism, for the eradication of poverty and environmental protection,
05:27celebrating 14 years of its presentation.
05:30And thanks to the strategic action of the Kingdom in the tourism sector
05:34and the support of the private sector,
05:36and thanks to the strategic action of the Kingdom in the tourism sector
05:40and the dynamic campaign led by Morocco within the United Nations,
05:45this resolution has been co-sponsored by 109 Member States belonging to the different regional groups.
05:54I will announce it to you in the titles.
05:56The United States is on the verge of a budgetary paralysis
05:59after the successive failures of several texts in Congress
06:04and while no solution to the crisis has been drawn up for the moment.
06:08And if nothing changes by midnight local time,
06:11that is, on Friday night to Saturday,
06:14the federal state will find itself in an effective situation of shutdown,
06:18with the technical unemployment for hundreds of thousands of officials,
06:23the freezing of several social aids,
06:26or the closure of some churches.
06:29An extremely unpopular situation for the Americans in the approach of Christmas.
06:37I do not want to risk giving probabilities.
06:40It must succeed.
06:42People must go home.
06:44These are the words of the head of American diplomacy, Anthony Blinken,
06:48who says he has good hope of stopping the fire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza
06:54during these last days in his post before the return of Donald Trump,
06:58but he refuses to make predictions after several disappointments,
07:02more than two years of war in the Palestinian territory besieged by Israel.
07:09In any case, the recent negotiations in Hadoa revive the hope of an agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas
07:16on stopping the fire and the liberation of the hostages in Gaza.
07:20Can we expect great things from it?
07:23Elément de réponse avec Zeina Tibi,
07:25journalist et fondatrice de l'Association des Femmes Arabes de la Presse à FACOM à Paris.
07:31Today, you have two factors at play.
07:34The pressure of President Trump, but at the same time the weakening of Hamas.
07:40Hamas today is forced to negotiate,
07:44given that it is weakened by the fact that it has lost its support,
07:51notably the Hezbollah in Lebanon,
07:53which is completely weakened with the assassination of Hezbollah leaders.
07:59With the fact of cutting the arrival or passage of weapons that can come from Iran to Syria,
08:09from Syria.
08:11Today, Hamas is forced to find a solution.
08:18During these last negotiations,
08:25they have come to the conclusion that the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Philadelphia corridor,
08:35which is located on the border with Egypt,
08:39and also the withdrawal of Israeli troops
08:43that are in a corridor that divides Gaza between East and West.
08:51We hope that this will lead to an end to the presence of the army,
08:57but this is not clear,
09:00because Israel is putting a stop to this
09:05and is asking to intervene in case it feels threatened.
09:12This is the armed side.
09:15On the other side, there are the prisoners,
09:23the Israeli hostages in the hands of Hamas,
09:27and the Palestinian prisoners.
09:29Israel's demand is to free the hostages unconditionally,
09:36while Hamas demands that the Palestinian prisoners be released.
09:43Israel also puts conditions.
09:47If prisoners are released,
09:51those who Israel considers threatening should be exiled,
09:57and go to Qatar, or elsewhere, or Egypt,
10:00but they do not want them to stay in Gaza or in the West Bank.
10:06This is moving forward,
10:09but we are not sure how long Israel will accept certain demands.
10:19After being confronted the day before
10:22with the distress of the inhabitants,
10:24shared between exasperation and outrage,
10:27Emmanuel Macron must conclude his visit to Mayotte this Friday,
10:30devastated by the Shido cyclone,
10:33by a crisis meeting to dictate to the government the useful actions.
10:39This morning, the French President first went to remote areas,
10:43where he met Mamoudzou,
10:45the leader of the poorest department in France,
10:48where the emergency services, water, electricity and food are late to arrive.
10:53The day before, he had decreed a national day for next Monday.
11:01It is not only Mayotte that has been devastated by the Shido cyclone.
11:06Mozambique has also been affected.
11:09On site, Shido killed at least 73 people,
11:12and before the extent of the disaster,
11:14the government has decreed two national days,
11:17today and tomorrow.
11:19In addition to causing nearly 550 injured,
11:23the depression has completely destroyed almost 40,000 homes,
11:27according to the new report.
11:32In Nigeria, an investigation was opened
11:34after the tragedy occurred in the city of Ibadan,
11:37the third largest city in the country.
11:39On site, a shock wave occurred on Wednesday
11:43at the Islamic High School in Bassorun,
11:46during a foreign party,
11:48where young and old were invited.
11:5035 children lost their lives,
11:526 were seriously injured.
11:55The Nigerian President, Bolatinubo,
11:58presented yesterday his sincere condolences
12:01to the population of the state of Oyo.
12:03He also exhorted local authorities
12:06to take all necessary measures
12:08to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
12:16After the revocation of the mayor of Dakar
12:19following a decision of justice,
12:21the inhabitants of the Senegalese capital
12:24call for the preservation of social cohesion.
12:27This is a report by Siamu Boukaka and Shenda.
12:31The mayor of Dakar, Barthélémy Diaz,
12:33was disappointed with his municipal functions.
12:35This followed a conviction for facts dating back to 2011
12:39according to a prefectural arrest.
12:41This decision aroused reactions
12:43within the populations of Dakar,
12:45the Senegalese capital.
12:47I think that at some point,
12:49we need to know that the most important matter
12:51for development is social cohesion,
12:53it is peace.
12:54I think that we need to overcome
12:56these political aspirations
12:58and try to see the Senegalese,
13:00who have placed a lot of hope,
13:02a lot of sacrifices, in these two men.
13:04President Dioumaye Faye
13:05and the first Muslim in his body.
13:07In Senegal, people need to sit down
13:09and discuss instead of going to war.
13:12Because it's the ideas.
13:14It's the ideas.
13:16It's not because I'm in power
13:18that I have to manipulate ideas.
13:23It's not because the person has the power
13:25that he has to throw stones
13:27or do anything.
13:29Whatever the position, whatever the power,
13:31people need to be correct in language,
13:33correct in behavior,
13:34and really avoid damage.
13:36The revocation of his title of municipal councillor
13:38automatically led to that of mayor of Dakar.
13:41In response, Barthélémy Diaz
13:43has made two appeals,
13:45one in front of the Court of Appeal
13:47and the other in front of the administrative chamber
13:49of the Supreme Court.
13:50According to this electoral expert,
13:52this situation reflects the persistent tensions
13:54between justice and political power in Senegal.
13:57It's the seizure by a citizen
14:02of the prefect.
14:06It's allowed,
14:08it's consacrated by the electoral law,
14:10Article L.277,
14:12which triggered the matter.
14:14Barthélémy made his appeal.
14:16And the article in the line
14:18that followed, Article L.277, line 2,
14:22says that if in a period of 10 days
14:24the concerned, the mayor who is removed,
14:27makes an appeal,
14:29the Court is suspended.
14:30So he remains mayor
14:32until this issue is addressed
14:34in front of the Court of Appeal.
14:35The first addition to the mayor of Dakar,
14:37Ngoné Mbeng,
14:38who is also an activist of Trao Senegal,
14:40now assures the interim as mayor of Dakar.
14:43This,
14:44as soon as the next regular session
14:46of the municipal council is convened,
14:48scheduled for next Thursday, December 26th.
14:53It is at the foot of the monument of flame,
14:55of peace,
14:56that the 9th edition of the festival
14:58VIVRE ENSEMBLE of Tombouctou
15:00was launched in the presence of several ministers,
15:02local and regional authorities
15:04and all communities in the region.
15:06This 9th edition places Malian youth
15:09at the heart of the process of living together.
15:13Mohamed Dagnoko.
15:14In the process for the return of peace to Mali,
15:17culture is one of the most important foundations.
15:20This is what the initiators of the festival
15:23VIVRE ENSEMBLE,
15:24who through this initiative,
15:26contribute alongside the authorities
15:28to re-sew the social fabric
15:30that had been strongly started.
15:33What is happening in Tombouctou is magnificent.
15:36Tombouctou was known in 2012
15:38for having suffered the worst atrocities.
15:42Everyone gave their hand
15:44so that we can forget a little.
15:46And today the result is there
15:48because despite the atrocities of Tombouctou,
15:51the populations of the communities are together.
15:54In 9 years of existence,
15:55in addition to having contributed
15:57to re-sewing the social fabric,
15:59reaffirming the bonds of brotherhood
16:01and consolidating friendships,
16:03this festival has many federative projects.
16:08Initiatives such as the Resilience, Culture and VIVRE ENSEMBLE project,
16:13the celebration of the International Days of VIVRE ENSEMBLE,
16:17the accompaniment of local cultural activities,
16:20and many others.
16:22Realization testifies to our commitment
16:24to building a better future,
16:27where each individual can flourish,
16:30where each culture can shine,
16:32and where peace is no longer a dream,
16:34but a tangible reality.
16:37The youth of the region are in phase
16:39with the theme of youth and citizen engagement
16:43at the heart of reconciliation and living together.
16:46If we find ourselves here in Tombouctou,
16:48more precisely at the level of the flame of peace,
16:51we are going to get to know each other,
16:53we are going to cause,
16:54I think that will bring peace.
16:57I really liked this initiative,
16:59I really liked this event,
17:01and I hope that this is not the last time
17:04and that it continues,
17:05that our children inherit this thing.
17:09Concerts, trade fairs and other activities
17:12to promote VIVRE ENSEMBLE in the region
17:15are planned until December 22.
17:19Since Tuesday, the Agora of the municipality of Koumassi in Abidjan
17:23is living at the pace of an unprecedented challenge.
17:25The Ivorian chef Melanie Zeina Bansé
17:28is trying to beat the longest Guinness World Record.
17:31For 120 hours, she plans to cook 15,000 dishes
17:36from different regions of the country.
17:39Mel Berchel and Herman Deco.
17:42The Agora of the municipality of Koumassi in Abidjan is unrecognizable.
17:45For six days, this vibrant place becomes the center of national attention.
17:49In Kourouz, the chef Zeina Bansé,
17:52armed with her utensils,
17:54aims the 120 hours of uninterrupted cooking
17:56to register the Ivory Coast in the Guinness Book of Records.
18:01She decided to prepare more than 15,000 dishes.
18:06We have already delivered 200 dishes to the Ophelia of Benjerville.
18:13We have delivered 160 dishes to the village of Eswes in Abobo.
18:19And tomorrow, we will deliver in a Blancfelida.
18:23This challenge goes beyond the boundaries of gastronomy.
18:26It has become a symbol of gathering and celebration.
18:32The Ivorian artists offer support to those
18:35who aim to exceed the 93 hours of cooking
18:38currently held by the Nigerian Hila Bassi,
18:41while bringing a festive atmosphere to the event.
18:44For five days, three days already,
18:46everyone is in it.
18:48Internet users, artists, Lambda men.
18:51And it's hot.
18:53When you support a country like this,
18:55it is a country that will advance.
18:57But when we are always at war,
18:59we don't want war.
19:00The Kourouz doesn't want war.
19:01We like to have fun.
19:02We like to share joy.
19:03Three days that we are here,
19:04every day we come
19:05because it is the name of the Ivory Coast that is in front.
19:08We are all ambassadors of the Ivory Coast.
19:11And our presence is necessary here
19:13to give it positive vibes.
19:15That's why we are here.
19:18Zeynab is not alone in this monumental challenge.
19:21The Ivorian population mobilizes massively to encourage her.
19:24I think we have seen with the efforts of the Ivory Coast.
19:27When the Ivorians are behind you,
19:28there is no failure.
19:29There is nothing.
19:30She will beat the record.
19:31She will go beyond.
19:32And the record, where she will put it,
19:34will be due to people next year.
19:35We are confident.
19:36That's why we are here.
19:38The Guinness challenge of the chef Zeynab Bansi
19:40has become much more than a simple culinary performance.
19:43It symbolized unity,
19:45sharing and the resilience of an entire people.
19:50This is the end of this newscast.
