00:00Thank you for joining us for this edition of L'Actualité, here are the headlines.
00:23For two days, Paris welcomes political leaders from all over the world
00:27and the head of the TEC for an international summit on artificial intelligence.
00:31Nearly 1,500 participants were expected for the launch of this third international meeting.
00:37We will come back to this in a few moments with our guest.
00:42The Palestinians could not return to the Gaza Strip,
00:45says Donald Trump, who describes his plan for the Palestinian territory ravaged by the war
00:50as a real estate development project for the future.
00:53The American president has already located six sites.
00:58Since the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip,
01:01the Israeli army has set up at least 146 new checkpoints in West Jordan,
01:06a situation that makes travel almost impossible in some areas.
01:11We meet again right now for the development.
01:16Welcome ladies and gentlemen, we open this news with the thanks
01:20of the Secretary General of the Executive Committee of the Organization of the Liberation of Palestine
01:26to His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Hossein al-Sher,
01:30to salute today the constant efforts that the Sovereign President of the Houthi Committee
01:35continues to deploy in order to resolve the crisis of the Palestinian funds frozen by Israel.
01:44And also in the diplomatic framework,
01:47Grandayy Marlaska qualifies the cooperation with Morocco as exemplary
01:51in the security and migratory areas
01:54and this also with the Minister of the Interior, Abdeloua Filaftit,
01:58and his Spanish counterpart, Mr. Marlaska.
02:01They held a work meeting in Madrid on Monday.
02:05On this occasion, Fernando Grandayy Marlaska highlighted
02:08the exemplary bilateral cooperation between the two countries,
02:11especially in the areas of security and migratory management,
02:15evoking the preparations for the 2030 World Cup,
02:18organized jointly by Morocco, Spain and Portugal.
02:22The Spanish Minister of the Interior insisted on the importance of close cooperation
02:27to guarantee the security of this major sporting event.
02:32Direction Paris, where today and tomorrow political leaders from all over the world
02:38and the bosses of technology meet at an international summit on artificial intelligence.
02:43Nearly 1,500 participants were expected at the Grand Palais
02:47for the launch of this third international meeting co-chaired by India.
02:52Tech leaders like Sam Altman, creator of ChatGPT,
02:58Sundar Pichai, General Director of Google,
03:02and Dario Omadeir, boss of the American entropic startup,
03:06are also traveling.
03:11New countries, of which Morocco expressed on Sunday
03:14their interest in joining the World Partnership for Artificial Intelligence
03:19at a ministerial meeting.
03:21Member countries announced the Kedorse.
03:24On the eve of the Open Artificial Intelligence Summit in Paris on Monday,
03:29France, Serbia and Slovakia met at the headquarters of the French Ministry of Europe
03:35and Foreign Affairs, several dozen signatory state ministers of the PMIA.
03:41On this occasion, these countries expressed their interest in joining the movement and the institution
03:46following the recent approval by the members of the PMIA of the process of their application for adhesion
03:53precisely communicated by the Kedorse.
04:01In this same dynamic, more than 60 large companies announced on Monday
04:06on the occasion of the Paris Summit the launch of a coalition
04:10aimed at making Europe a world leader in artificial intelligence.
04:14Explanations with Raja Hingor.
04:18How to make artificial intelligence a force for human service?
04:23This is the question that the major players in the tech sector
04:28as well as politicians present at the IAEA Summit in Paris will try to answer.
04:33There are nearly 1,500 participants for this third edition in one of the major issues.
04:38It is deepfake.
04:40This technology responsible for the pollution of the world of information
04:44appears to be one of the great dangers of the growing use of artificial intelligence.
04:49But this summit also aims to affirm the credibility of Europe in the IAEA race.
04:55In this context, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi co-presides the summit with the head of the French state.
05:02By associating with this emerging country, the Elysée wants to avoid in the IAEA race
05:08a competition only between the United States and China.
05:12On this first day, more than 60 large European companies
05:16announced the launch of a coalition aimed at making Europe a world leader.
05:22Named the EU AI Champions Initiative, this alliance will be presented to Emmanuel Macron,
05:2815 other heads of state and European governments,
05:31as well as the head of the European Executive, Ursula von der Leyen.
05:35These companies will invest 109 billion euros in this project.
05:40According to its promoters, this coalition must unlock the full and entire potential of Europe in artificial intelligence,
05:48in particular by simplifying the regulatory framework around this new technology.
05:55Just to find out more, we meet live from Riyadh Mr. Zohair Lardissi.
06:01He is the Vice President of the African Center for Strategic Studies and Digitalization.
06:06Good evening and thank you for responding to our invitation.
06:12Good evening, thank you very much for the invitation.
06:14So, Mr. Lardissi, French President Emmanuel Macron called this Monday
06:19the Europeans have a leap to fill the delay in artificial intelligence.
06:24Can this EU race to the IAEA be explained by an urgent need for European technological sovereignty?
06:33So, indeed, in fact, Europe is today feeling behind in terms of power today in the IAEA,
06:42which are the United States on one side and China on the other.
06:44We have recently seen the upheavals with the launch of several Chinese models
06:48that compete with the great American models.
06:50And Europe today remains behind on these issues.
06:53It turns out that there are a number of countries that have launched their own models,
06:56including France, by the way, a few months ago.
06:59But today, Europe is unable to impose itself as a major player in this area.
07:03So, today's alliance with India is also a way to address these issues,
07:08not only to be an observer of this new era, but to be one of the main players.
07:15And so, today, the Paris Summit and also the launch of a number of coalitions,
07:21including one where Morocco contributes to launch a responsible and ethical IAEA at the service of humans.
07:28And in this same dynamic, in your opinion, how to put the IAEA at the service of humans?
07:36So, in fact, first of all, before you want to regulate, organize, structure and legislate,
07:44first of all, you have to be an actor.
07:46We cannot try to ensure that the IAEA is at the service of humans if we are not an actor of this IAEA,
07:52if we are not an actor of these new trends and these new upheavals.
07:57Then, of course, today there are a number of actions.
08:01So, the European Union launched a few months ago what is called the AI Act,
08:05which is a kind of beginning of regulation in the field of the IAEA, but which is at the European level.
08:11There have been, of course, a number of initiatives, including one co-written by Morocco,
08:15which is a resolution, one of the first UN resolutions on the subject,
08:18whose objective is precisely to ensure that the IAEA, which is developing,
08:23is first of all at the service of humans and not at the expense of them.
08:28So, it has to be, for example, at the service of agriculture, durability, health, water and energy economy.
08:38And so, today, these are the issues that this type of coalition is facing.
08:45It is really about ensuring that the IAEA is not just a technology that may at some point or another
08:52be a danger, whether for jobs or for information, but that it is rather used.
08:58And in fact, it is capable of providing a lot of answers to a lot of problems today that humanity is suffering from,
09:06whether in the countries of the South, but also in the countries of the North.
09:10And also, what are the sources of concern of the IAEA,
09:14in particular with the disinformation, the deformation of realities, among other things?
09:22So, there are a lot of sources of concern.
09:24Indeed, today, with the IAEA, we are able to generate videos, images,
09:30and we have seen quite a few cases in recent months where we have seen videos come out that are completely false,
09:36deepfakes as we say today, images that are also generated by the IAEA.
09:41And that poses a real problem, because before, the access to the veracity of the information was based on the image and on the video.
09:47Today, this is no longer the case.
09:49So, of course, we will have to, in the same way that we have done it in relation to the circulation of written information on the Internet for decades,
09:58today we must make sure that the law that exists today, against disinformation,
10:04also applies to all initiatives that use IAEA-type technology for disinformation.
10:11Now, what we are also finding out is that there will be a fundamental paradigm shift that will take place.
10:16That is, we will have a kind of inflation in the field of information.
10:22Any individual with the right tools, with the right technologies of the IAEA, can become a kind of source of information.
10:29We already see it today with social networks, but it will still increase with the IAEA.
10:33But beyond disinformation, there are also other concerns in relation to, for example, algorithmic bias.
10:39That is, the IAEA is not 100% perfect today.
10:42And it is important to take into account that it is only perfect as far as the data that has been used to train it.
10:50So if the data is initially biased, then inevitably the IAEA results will be biased.
10:54So that's something to take into account when we give the IAEA certain decision powers,
11:00for example, for recruitment, for choice, for scoring, for example, in the financial field.
11:06All of this can have a certain number of dangers that we must take into account when we design systems.
11:11That is why we are increasingly talking about a responsible IAEA.
11:14That is to say, an IAEA that is initially designed by design so that it responds to these problems.
11:21And in the case of Morocco, the kingdom therefore joins the world partnership of the IAEA.
11:26How do you explain this alliance and what are the commitments as well?
11:33So today, this alliance, which brings together more than nine countries,
11:37a dozen companies, actors in the field of IAEA, both at the international and European level.
11:43The objective today is to work first on the creation of alternatives to the tools that we know today,
11:52which have become dominant in the market.
11:55So the American tools on one side, but also the Chinese tools more and more.
11:59And therefore propose alternatives that respect all of these rules.
12:03So today, as I said, there has already been an initiative through the IAEA to try to regulate.
12:09Except that Europe, since it does not produce technology, it cannot impose this regulation on all countries.
12:19And so the idea today is that instead of doing regulation and regulation,
12:24it is really to create alliances of interest with the countries of the south as well.
12:29So India on one side, Morocco on the other, a number of Latin American countries as well.
12:35With one goal, it is really to co-build a number of IAEA tools and co-build a number of programs
12:43to make the IAEA, let's say, ethical and human service.
12:49So of course, behind all this, there is also a fundamental question that is brought up.
12:54Today, the IAEA can bring a lot to the daily lives of all citizens of these countries
13:00by increasing their productivity, by increasing their performance.
13:04So the people today who use the IAEA will be more at ease to develop,
13:10to move forward and to be more productive in their companies, projects and the like.
13:15And projects and the like, also in the context of this meeting in Paris,
13:19concerning AI.
13:21And we were with Mr. Zohair Lardissi.
13:24Thank you again for answering our questions.
13:29Thank you for your questions.
13:31I also remind you that you are vice-president of the African Center for Strategic Studies and Digitalization.
13:39The news also, if with Donald Trump, Palestinians could not return to the Gaza Strip,
13:45says the American head of state, who describes his plan for the Palestinian territory ravaged by the war
13:52as being a real estate development project for the future, according to an excerpt of an interview broadcast on Monday.
13:59President Trump reaffirms, according to this excerpt, his desire to take possession of the Gaza Strip
14:05and assures that there could be up to six different sites where Palestinians could live outside Gaza,
14:12in the context of his plan.
14:14While the Arab world and the international community have rejected this proposal,
14:18the Arab of the two, of Jordani, is expected tomorrow in Washington for interviews with Donald Trump.
14:28In the context of the conflict in the Middle East,
14:30Olaf Scholz described Sunday as a scandal the proposal of Donald Trump,
14:35in particular the American control of the Palestinian enclave and the Palestinian movement in the Gaza Strip.
14:41The displacement of the population is unacceptable and contrary to international law,
14:46added the German Chancellor during a television duel for the German legislative elections on February 23,
14:54to his rival, conservative Friedrich Merz.
14:57We can have an hour as the European Union.
15:00On the Palestinian issue, Egypt will host an emergency summit on February 27,
15:06an announcement made on Sunday by the CAIR.
15:09This summit of the Arab countries was convened by Egypt at the request of the Palestinians
15:15and after consultations at the highest level with the Arab countries in recent days,
15:20indicates a statement from the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
15:23which specifies that the objective is to address the latest serious developments concerning the Palestinian cause.
15:35During this time, the head of American diplomacy, Marco Rubio,
15:38received today at the Department of State his Egyptian counterpart, Abder Abdelhati.
15:43The two officials made no comment to the press.
15:47The head of Egyptian diplomacy went to Washington yesterday,
15:51where he has to meet with high-ranking officials of the Trump administration and members of the Congress
15:56with the aim of strengthening bilateral relations and strategic partnership between Egypt and the United States,
16:03as well as holding consultations on the regional situation.
16:07This Monday, the Hamas military branch announced and reported to the New Order
16:16the next Israeli hostage release in Gaza,
16:20to be done in exchange for those of Palestinians detained by Israel
16:24as part of the Treaty entered into force on January 19.
16:28The release of the prisoners, which was scheduled for next Saturday, February 15, 2025,
16:34is reported to the New Order, while waiting for the occupation to give up its obligations,
16:39as stated in a statement by Abu Obeidah, spokesman for the Esdin Al-Qassam Brigades.
16:48Since the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip,
16:51the Israeli army has installed at least 146 new checkpoints in West Jordan,
16:56with a total of nearly 900 dams.
16:59A situation that makes it almost impossible to move in some areas.
17:04Dina Ambrini tells us more.
17:09Blocked roads, monster traffic jams, military operations,
17:13the occupied West Jordan is currently facing a generalized paralysis
17:17due to the multiplication of Israeli roadblocks.
17:21A situation that has intensified since the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip last January.
17:27These military checkpoints, installed by the Israeli army,
17:31obstruct the circulation and daily life of Palestinians,
17:35creating considerable delays and extremely difficult travel conditions.
17:51Normally, I would take half an hour to get to my destination.
17:55Actually, I have to wait about six hours to get there.
17:58Sometimes even that becomes impossible.
18:01These big traffic jams make our daily life very difficult.
18:05Sometimes we have to change roads.
18:07We are really lost, we don't know where to go or which road to take.
18:11It becomes hell.
18:13To plan the road every day, to plan the street, to plan which road you have to go.
18:19Actually, we are living unfortunately in hell.
18:25We come from Jericho and we want to go to Bethlehem, to the village of al-Walaja.
18:30Because we had a death in our family and we want to attend the funeral.
18:35We have been here for about an hour and we don't know how long we will have to wait.
18:41It is unfair. We are not even responsible for this situation.
18:47These randomly closed barriers sometimes take the form of mounds of soil or concrete blocks.
18:53By blocking access, these checkpoints also have a significant economic impact.
18:59The local economy has recorded estimated losses of several million dollars per year
19:04due to delays and movement restrictions.
19:08There are about 900 checkpoints in the West Bank.
19:12What is the function of these checkpoints?
19:14Their function is to ensure everything that is not a security function.
19:19There are about 900 checkpoints in the occupied West Bank.
19:23These barriers do everything except their declared objective, which is to ensure security.
19:28Because their presence does not reinforce the security of Israel
19:31and does not contribute to the stability of the region.
19:34These checkpoints serve as a tool to exert pressure on the Palestinian people.
19:39They have a negative impact on the Palestinian economy
19:42as well as on the psychological well-being of the Palestinians,
19:46in order to push them to leave their country.
19:54While tensions persist, the Palestinians see a form of collective pressure
19:59and an attempt to control more territory.
20:04Back in the continent, in Sudan, the United Nations is alarmed
20:07by an increase in the number of civilian deaths.
20:10The armed conflict that has been opposing the Sudanese armed forces since April 2023
20:15and the forces of rapid support are pushing the countries to the brink of famine.
20:19The point is still with Raja Ingo.
20:22The rapid increase in the number of civilian deaths in Sudan
20:26alarms the United Nations,
20:28considering that both parties are unable to protect the inhabitants.
20:32The war between the Sudanese armed forces and the forces of rapid support
20:36has deteriorated the humanitarian situation, which is already fragile in the country,
20:40leaving the civilians without water or food.
20:46Life is so difficult, we don't have clean drinking water
20:50and the supply of water in the grocery stores has also been interrupted.
20:54We also lack food, we are in despair.
20:58The rapid increase in the number of deaths among the population
21:03demonstrates the serious risks that civilians are facing.
21:07In Sudan, most schools are empty.
21:10The inability of the armed groups in conflict and their allies to protect civilians
21:15has led to the de-education of a large part of the children.
21:20I was a student in the fourth grade, but because of the conflict,
21:24I haven't been to school for a year and four months.
21:29The conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023,
21:33caused tens of thousands of victims,
21:36uprooted 12 million people and pushed the country to the brink of famine.
21:42This time back in the kingdom,
21:44car rental professionals are still thinking about the deep wounds
21:49of the COVID-19 health crisis.
21:52With tourist arrivals in constant progression,
21:55the car rental sector,
21:57which has been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis,
22:00should benefit from it.
22:02However, the resumption of activity remains timid
22:05and the expectations of professionals do not seem to be met.
22:09The number of people in the car rental sector is increasing.
22:12The number of people in the car rental sector is increasing.
22:15The number of people in the car rental sector is increasing.
22:18The number of people in the car rental sector is increasing.
22:20The number of people in the car rental sector is increasing.
22:29In the beginning of the year, the car rental sector
22:32was barely recovering from the COVID-19 crisis.
22:34This market is facing many challenges,
22:36although the tourism sector is growing,
22:38remembering that the car rental sector is closely linked to the tourism sector.
22:43In this sense, this sector should be affiliated with the Ministry of Tourism
22:46to the Ministry of Tourism rather than to the Ministry of Transport.
22:49A real recovery of this sector will take some time before it becomes a reality.
22:54Some may consider that the tariff sector is positive, but we are still in the tariff phase.
23:00The sector's professionals are still struggling to reap the benefits of their work.
23:04The purchase of vehicles, the management of general costs and operating costs require significant investments.
23:11This has a major impact on the financial results of vehicle rental agencies.
23:17We hope that this sector will benefit more from regulations and support,
23:27because the rental of cars is just as important as that of tourist transport.
23:32Our sector faces several challenges,
23:34notably due to the rising prices of new cars, insurance prices, life expectancy and all kinds of maintenance.
23:42This is why we ask those responsible to support this sector.
23:47The crisis of the car rental market in Morocco highlights the challenges
23:52faced by the sectors in full growth.
23:55While the tourism sector continues to prosper,
23:59it is essential to find a balance between the necessary regulation
24:03in order to ensure the quality of services and the essential flexibility to promote the diversity of services.
24:11This concludes today's news. Thank you for watching.
