08:26 Because this is an extension, and this
08:28 is also symbolic of our deepened relationship.
08:32 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
08:32 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
08:46 United States.
08:49 And then we also confronted today--
08:52 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
08:53 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
09:03 Last time I was here was African Lion 23.
09:07 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
09:11 African partners, as well as others,
09:15 was a demonstration of our deepened relationship.
09:19 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
09:20 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
09:21 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
09:22 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
09:23 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
09:24 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
09:54 We discussed those matters, because we're
09:56 going to do it bigger and better with other African
10:00 partners.
10:00 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
10:28 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
10:40 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
10:41 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
11:09 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
11:15 [SPEAKING FRENCH]
11:16 We have no food, no drink. In just one month, I lost 25 kilos. We can't continue living like this. We can't do anything. We can't find water to drink. The bread is expensive. Everything is expensive.
11:28 We are short of food and all kinds of food. There is no meat, no chicken, no fish. Everything that is on the market.
11:40 We have no beans, no lentils. People are tired. We have been suffering for five months. There is no salt, no sugar. There is nothing available.
11:49 The Palestinian Red Crescent called on the UN institutions to intensify their aid, especially for the northern areas of the Gaza Strip.
12:00 The army has indicated that it will intensify its operations in Khan Younes. Doctors Without Borders, on its side, announced during the night that a shelter was hosting members of the UN and their families had been hit by an Israeli strike in the west of Khan Younes.
12:12 Rafah remains under the radar of the Israeli army. Prime Minister Netanyahu is part of these threats.
12:18 A perspective that worries the international community, while Egypt welcomes new discussions in the hope of a truce.
12:26 We are in Tunisia, where we have been in the past since the arrest of political figures.
12:32 The families of the detainees on the spot have called for their release and announced protests against their detention, which they call arbitrary.
12:45 It has been a year, day by day, since a series of arrests targeting more than twenty opponents, businessmen and other personalities, called terrorists by the Tunisian president, were imprisoned under the accusation of conspiracy against the security of the state.
13:00 Their families have gathered today to express their suffering and demand the release of the detainees.
13:08 We would like to know the truth about the act committed by these politicians and that the Tunisian law considers it a crime or a conspiracy against the security of the state.
13:17 On the contrary, these political leaders, these opposition leaders, have exercised their right to political, peaceful and civil opposition.
13:27 Six political figures imprisoned in Jouhar Ben Barak and Issam Chebidi are responsible for the National Salute Front. The main opposition coalition has been on the hunt for the end for ten days, demanding to be released.
13:43 A hunger strike was inevitable. It was the only solution and the only way in which the detainees could reveal their suffering to the public.
13:55 Forgetting what the lawyers said and only recalling that on that day, after 365 days of detention, the detainees were not summoned to investigate. This confirms that the judge of instruction has not found anything new in the case that deserves to convict the accused.
14:15 The head of the Nahr Daraa Chedl Ranoush movement also launched a hunger strike on Monday, in solidarity with the political prisoners on the hunger strike in the prison of Mournaghiya, where they are seeking to free themselves from the punishment of detention.
14:34 In Senegal, a question is almost on everyone's lips. When will the presidential outfit, which expires on April 2, will it be held?
14:45 The president will speak again tonight. He will speak to journalists from three media outlets in the country, in a context where 15 candidates for the Supreme Magistrate accuse him of bad will. In Senegal, since the presidential report, invalidated by the Constitutional Council, no date has been set, while the Council has asked the president to organize the scrutin in the best possible time.
15:12 We will stay in Senegal, but this time it is to talk to you about data journalism. What makes this new method of processing information so special? Let's focus on the numbers, the statistics, to know a little more about our reporters.
15:29 Mamadou Diara and Cheikh Ndao have been touring the Center for Studies in Science and Technology at the University of Cherantegiobe in Dakar.
15:37 The African media ecosystem is slowly seeing the emergence of a new form of journalism called data journalism, a journalistic practice that relies on data analysis to better inform, according to the experts in the matter.
15:54 Data journalism is journalism that relies on statistics to cover various topics. It is based on data analysis and processing before publishing.
16:16 Data journalism transcends disciplines. Today, it is a specialty that presents many challenges. People no longer have time to read articles. People are constantly invaded by an important amount of information.
16:38 We need to find alternatives to allow readers to read information differently. The challenge is to allow readers to read information in a few seconds without spending a lot of energy and time.
17:02 More and more, data journalism is integrating the training cycle in journalism schools in Senegal.
17:08 It is a new practice. CST has understood the challenge by integrating it in this training cycle for three or four years. We have managed to train journalists who use it in professional practices.
17:27 Since 2012, we have organized training sessions on data journalism. We have about twenty African journalists in five countries who are following a programme.
17:48 In order for this new journalism practice to know its true emergence, we need real access to public data, which constitutes a real challenge in Africa.
18:00 As every Thursday, Yasmin El-Karouni has just joined me on this set. Hello Yasmin.
18:06 Hello Pape. How are you?
18:08 I'm fine. We are here with our life coach, Asma Chouki. Hello Asma.
18:14 Hello Pape. Hello Yasmin.
18:17 Yasmin, we are going to talk about empathy today.
18:20 Absolutely. Just before turning on the microphone, you told me that we really need it. It is a good topic.
18:28 So, you, the journalist news, the father of today, why do you think it is an important topic?
18:35 It is an important topic because today we are in a world that is somehow plagued by social political troubles.
18:45 We need to put ourselves in the shoes of others, to know what they feel, to share their emotions and to help them overcome the difficulties they or she is facing.
18:58 I will push the topic a bit further and take a bit more of your time, Pape.
19:03 As a journalist news, I know you, you are very good at showing empathy.
19:11 Does having this empathy consume you sometimes, in the face of the news?
19:18 To be honest, yes. We would have liked not to see these images, we would have liked not to talk about this information.
19:30 For me, the most important thing is to live in peace, to live as we feel, and not to be attacked, not to be discriminated against, not to be marginalized.
19:44 To have tools to protect yourself, because it is important when you have this over-the-top empathy,
19:51 and you do a job like yours, you need to know how to protect yourself, to have empathy for yourself.
19:56 If we had to define empathy, in a few words, what would it be?
20:02 Simply, it is the fact of putting yourself in the other person's shoes, when they are experiencing pleasant or unpleasant emotions,
20:13 not necessarily unpleasant emotions or a difficult situation.
20:19 To put yourself in their shoes, to understand them, to feel what they feel, to act as if you were living the same situation that you are living.
20:35 So, on the one hand, emotionally, and on the other hand, cognitively.
20:45 I mean, I put myself in your thoughts, what you think, your needs, and not just what you feel.
20:55 Do we learn to be empathetic? Because it is the heart, but also the brain, so it is emotional and cognitive, both at the same time.
21:04 Do we learn to be empathetic? When we see people with a lot of emotions, we say to ourselves, he or she is very empathetic.
21:13 But is that what it is to be empathetic? Is it to have this compassion, these tears at the edge of the eyes, etc.?
21:21 What is it exactly?
21:24 We will go step by step.
21:28 Empathy, do we learn it? I would ask the question, is it innate or acquired?
21:37 I would say more that it is innate, and the proof is that when a child, let's say a one-year-old child,
21:44 he will see his mother crying, he will come to caress her cheek.
21:50 He will start crying sometimes too.
21:53 Because he does not know how to handle his own emotions yet.
21:57 You drop a pen, he will quickly pick it up and give it to you.
22:05 So I think everyone is born with his or her share of empathy.
22:10 After the experiences, the life experiences, education,
22:16 have we been raised in an environment where parents are, of course, empathetic or not?
22:23 And so that plays a big role.
22:26 Am I going to keep this empathy or am I going to lose it?
22:29 But in general, with the allies of life, we are going to lose it.
22:33 In terms of management, is it something that is learned? Empathy?
22:40 Yes, so like any human quality, like any skill, it is something that is learned.
22:46 But it is also something that needs training.
22:52 So it's not overnight.
22:55 We need to develop our emotional intelligence.
22:59 First, learn to manage our emotions ourselves, to understand ourselves.
23:06 And then, understand the other, a little bit of their experience and all that,
23:11 to be able to live what they are living.
23:15 And at this point, what are the obstacles to this empathy and how to overcome them?
23:21 So the obstacles today, and we will find it everywhere,
23:25 and you ask anyone, they will say it's this new life,
23:32 it's new technology, it's this individualism that everyone takes for themselves.
23:39 And so it's all about that.
23:42 It's modernism, it's this new way of life,
23:47 it's this competition to have a job, to have a place, etc.
23:53 But it's really a mistake.
23:57 Empathy will never prevent a person from moving forward.
24:02 On the contrary, especially in the business world,
24:06 empathy is very much in demand.
24:09 Because when you manage a team, and when you understand what the members of...
24:16 I, for example, as a manager, I understand what the members of my team are going through,
24:23 I put myself in their shoes, etc.
24:25 It allows me to have more fluid communication, it allows me to manage conflicts,
24:31 it only has advantages.
24:34 One question anyway.
24:36 How to show empathy, to feel others, because we know that emotions are part of our cells,
24:41 but without being overwhelmed by these emotions, without being able to manage them?
24:49 Can we only use the good side of the medal, of empathy, without being overwhelmed by the rest?
24:54 Because as soon as you are overwhelmed by emotion, you are no longer in empathy.
24:59 So empathy is this ability to put yourself in the other person's shoes,
25:06 to understand him, to understand what he is going through,
25:10 to give him this space, a space of listening, a space of understanding,
25:16 while remaining away from these emotions and not being in...
25:24 Because being in empathy does not mean that if you are sad, if you are crying, I will cry with you.
25:30 Because if I cry with you, I am useless.
25:33 But I understand you, but I keep...
25:36 And this is where emotional intelligence is also important,
25:40 and it is a very important ingredient that will allow us to be empathetic.
25:45 Because I know how to manage my emotions, how to manage the emotions of others and how to understand them.
25:50 Asma, thank you very much.
