00:00This is a page of the history of the Assad family, which turns in Syria, the rebels have just named
00:27Mohammed al-Bashir as head of the government of the transition, the details in a few moments.
00:35Hayyat Tahrir al-Sham must put in place on the ground these positive messages of unity,
00:41it is one of the main demands of the special envoy of the UN, George Peterson, the day after the fall of Bashar al-Assad.
00:49The tension is alive between Taipei, which accuses China of organizing its most important military maneuvers around Taiwan,
00:59while Beijing maintains the mystery of its demonstrations of force. We meet right away for the development.
01:09Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the page, Bashar al-Assad turns in Syria, the rebels have just named Mohammed al-Bashir as head of the transition government,
01:18the latter is one of the rebels who took power in Damascus. Mohammed al-Bashir will therefore ensure that his functions until March 1, 2025.
01:27The announcement was made through communication on television.
01:32Mahmoud Hassan, political analyst and professor of private law, gives us the portrait of the new head of this transition government.
01:42Mohammed al-Bashir has been known since January 2024 as the head of the Syrian salvation government and operated in Idlib.
02:00He was part of a paramilitary faction that participated in the collapse of the old regime in Syria.
02:17It is in this context, according to the information circulating, that he was commissioned yesterday to form a transition government,
02:31which will be called to manage this transitional stage.
02:38His appointment was decided following a tripartite consultation between the current Syrian provisional president, Ahmad al-Sharaq al-Jawlani,
02:58who made his entrance in Damascus, and the former prime minister of Syria himself.
03:07This allows us to believe that this is a consultation of paramilitary factions that led to the appointment of Mohammed al-Bashir to form this transitional government.
03:33The consultations continue with the other factions.
03:40The transition stages that will participate in this government are also a roadmap.
03:51On the eve of the fall of the regime of Bashar al-Assad, Israel announced yesterday that it was carrying out attacks on the Syrian territory.
04:01Tel Aviv speaks of a measure described as limited and temporary.
04:09Before even being able to celebrate the fall of his president, Syria is bombed by Israel.
04:15The Israeli army seized a buffer zone of the Golan Plateau in Syria, in violation of a non-commitment agreement dating from 1974.
04:25According to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, more than 300 strikes have been carried out since Sunday in the country.
04:31The OSDH has reported that the Israeli army has destroyed the main military sites in Syria, targeting airports, radars, arms and ammunition depots and military research centers in several regions.
04:44Strikes took place at night. We went out after hearing the explosions and saw a fire.
04:54We realized that Israel had hit these places. We did not have any response from Turkey.
05:00Here is Israel coming. Israel has been striking the region for some time now.
05:04Last night we lived in terror. People were leaving their homes, wondering what had happened.
05:13We did not know what had happened. There were shells above us and shrapnel.
05:20The UN Special Envoy for Syria, Geir Pedersen, called on Tuesday to put an end to Israeli strikes in Syria.
05:27The UN underlined that it was a violation of the 1974 non-commitment agreement between Israel and Syria.
05:35Iran has also condemned this blatant violation of the law, as well as Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
05:41On the other hand, Turkey denounced on Tuesday the occupation mentality of Israel following its encirclement in the Golan Temple area.
05:52The spearhead of the offensive that caused the flight of Bashar al-Assad, Ayat Tahrir Hacham, must put into practice on the ground its positive messages of unity.
06:03This is one of the main demands of Geir Pedersen, the UN Special Envoy, which I propose to listen to.
06:10Extremely important that we don't see any action from any international actors.
06:16It is extremely important that no foreign country undertakes actions likely to compromise the possibility of a transformation in Syria.
06:25And then a very disturbing development persists.
06:28We continue to observe movements and Israeli bombings on Syrian territory.
06:34It must stop. It is of great importance.
06:38This needs to stop.
06:40This is extremely important.
07:075 million have taken refuge abroad, mainly in Turkey, Germany, Lebanon and Jordan.
07:13After the fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime, several refugees are happy to return home.
07:22Our joy is unimaginable. It has no price, because what is happening in Levant is a good omen for all Arab peoples.
07:30Syria is everything to me. It is my paradise.
07:36After 13 years away from my homeland, I come back to see my motherland and settle there.
07:44I grew up in Syria and I lived in Syria, but I haven't been able to set foot here for 15 years.
07:54And today I look forward to crossing the border to see my family.
07:59My sisters, my grandfather and all my relatives.
08:06About 487,000 displaced people have already crossed the border from Lebanon to Syria.
08:11In Turkey, the issue of refugees has become a sensitive subject on a political level,
08:16exacerbated by an economic crisis that has fueled resentment against the Syrians.
08:21Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Monday the reopening of a border post
08:26closed since 2013 for the return of the 3.3 million Syrian refugees in their country.
08:32That said, a large part of them intend to stay in the country that welcomed them in 2011.
08:38In Germany, which houses nearly a million Syrian refugees, the country has suspended asylum applications.
08:44This decision affects about 47,270 applications in progress.
08:49Likewise in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Belgium or France,
08:54the latter had registered more than 4,000 applications in 2023.
08:58Finally, Austria has gone further by announcing the expulsion of Syrian refugees who reside in its territory.
09:07Meanwhile, the civilian defense of Gaza claims that Israeli strikes killed 25 people yesterday in the north of the locality.
09:15Among the victims are five women and five children.
09:19The Israeli army has not made any comment for the time being.
09:23For more than two months, the north of the Gaza Strip has been the subject of an intense Israeli military operation
09:29intended, according to the army, to prevent the fighters of Hamas from regrouping there.
09:372024 is a particularly deadly year for journalists.
09:41According to accounts published by the International Federation of Journalists,
09:45104 have been killed in the world, more than half of them in Gaza.
09:50Andoni Bélangère, general secretary of the FIJ, denounces the massacre
09:54that is taking place in the eyes of the entire world in Palestine.
09:59According to the International Federation of Journalists,
10:02since the beginning of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Palestine,
10:06also in 2023, 138 Palestinian journalists have been killed.
10:12The FIJ also lists 520 journalists imprisoned in the world.
10:20This Tuesday, Taipei accuses China of organizing its most important military maneuvers
10:25for years around Taiwan.
10:28On its part, Beijing has not communicated on its demonstrations of force.
10:32Let's take stock with Raja Henggaw.
10:36The Chinese maritime deployment near the territory of Taiwan
10:40is more important than that of 2022,
10:42when Beijing had launched large-scale military exercises,
10:46this is what Taipei affirms today.
10:48The spokeswoman for the Ministry of Taiwan Defense, Sung Lee-fang,
10:51indicated that nearly 90 Chinese ships were deployed
10:55in the waters of the Pacific's first island chain,
10:57which includes Okinawa in Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines.
11:01The Ministry of Taiwan Defense has also detected 47 Chinese aircraft
11:05near Taiwan in the last 24 hours.
11:07This demonstration of force comes after the visit of Taiwanese President Lee Hsien Loong
11:12in some American territories of the Pacific last week in Hawaii,
11:16a stay strongly criticized by Beijing.
11:18As a result, dozens of Chinese ships deployed today in the Taiwan Strait,
11:22which separates the Chinese eastern province of Fujian and the archipelago of Taiwan,
11:27where more than 23 million people live.
11:29More than 20% of the world's maritime traffic passes through this strait in 2022,
11:33which represents more than 2 billion dollars in goods,
11:36according to the American Center for Strategic and International Studies.
11:40A Chinese invasion of Taiwan would put the entire world economy at risk.
11:44It would also risk leading to a regional or even global conflict,
11:47because even if the United States does not recognize Taiwan on a diplomatic level,
11:51the world power is the first supplier of weapons.
11:53Japan and the Philippines,
11:55some of which are only a few dozen kilometers from Taiwan,
11:58could also be involved in this conflict.
12:03This is good news for Ukraine.
12:05Washington has unlocked 20 billion dollars for Kiev,
12:08a share of the nearly 50 billion promised by the G7,
12:13which will be reimbursed for the interests of the Russian avatars frozen due to the sanctions.
12:18This spring, before the arrival of Donald Trump at the White House,
12:21the United States followed their October commitment
12:24by transferring its funds to the Intermediate Fund dedicated to Ukraine
12:29from the World Bank,
12:31through which they will be made available to Ukraine,
12:35announced this Tuesday in a statement by the U.S. Treasury Department.
12:43And then back to the Kingdom to talk about hydraulics,
12:45with the level of dam reserves,
12:48which until December 6 rises to about 4.90 billion cubic meters,
12:54or a filling rate of 29.13%
12:58compared to 23.70% recorded during the same period of the past year.
13:03The figures relayed by the Minister of Equipment and Water
13:07answered an oral question
13:10on the management and durability of water resources in the Kingdom.
13:14The third edition of the Rail Industry Summit
13:18opened at the Casablanca Fair and Exhibition Office.
13:23More than 600 participants, including 200 companies from 15 countries,
13:28took part in this event of great magnitude,
13:31placed under the patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
13:35Younes Mazzi and Younes Asghiri will tell us about
13:41this event in this story by Alaa Ben Ali.
13:46This Tuesday at the Casablanca Rail Industry Summit.
13:50For two days, major players in the railway sector
13:53meet to discuss the future of the railway industry,
13:57the opportunity to highlight the role of Morocco,
14:00which has become a turning point in railway connectivity
14:03on the African continent.
14:06Morocco has had a great experience
14:09thanks to the National Railway Office
14:12and following the latest program validated by the Administrative Council
14:16and which was signed last month
14:19before His Majesty King Mohammed VI in the presence of the French President.
14:23A program that includes an investment of 87 billion dirhams
14:28which will be allocated to launch the Alboraq railway line
14:33connecting Tangier to Marrakech and which will be ready before 2029.
14:38The duration of this journey, which is currently 7 hours,
14:41will be barely 2 hours and 45 minutes.
14:46This meeting consists of bringing together
14:50the industrialists around the railway ecosystem.
14:56A few years ago, we created a cluster
15:00to bring together different industrialists,
15:06research offices, universities
15:10to be able to opt for very ambitious projects.
15:16They are committed to our country
15:20on the impetus of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him,
15:26to take advantage of it and develop a railway ecosystem
15:30which consists of locating a part of everything that is railway development in Morocco.
15:37In the program of this event,
15:39business meetings with potential customers and partners,
15:42high-level conferences and thematic workshops
15:45on the new trends of the market
15:47and the future strategies presented by the main teams.
15:52Today, we are very happy to participate in the Rail Industry Summit.
15:58It is a very important event
16:01which relates the latest achievements in the railway sector
16:06and which offers the opportunity to meet and exchange
16:09with the main players of the railway industry.
16:13This event brings together more than 600 participants,
16:17200 companies, 120 exhibitors
16:20and delegations representing 14 countries.
16:23The themes will focus on railway infrastructures,
16:27sustainable mobility, technological innovations,
16:30but there will also be exclusive presentations
16:33hosted by major railway manufacturers.
16:38In Morocco, small businesses struggle to exist
16:41due to increased competition and large surface areas,
16:44a situation due in particular to the evolution of the habits of consumers
16:48who prefer to do their shopping
16:50instead of going back and forth to the local grocer.
16:53Dina Brini tells us about it.
16:58Proximity, payment facilities,
17:01opening hours and home delivery
17:04are the main assets of neighborhood grocers.
17:07These advantages push many Moroccan consumers
17:10to buy first-need products from small businesses,
17:14as is the case of Saïd,
17:16a resident of the Océan de Rabat district,
17:19who is used to doing his shopping at the local grocer
17:22in order to minimize travel.
17:24I prefer to do my daily shopping at the local grocer
17:28given the proximity it offers me
17:31because it is not always easy to travel to large surfaces
17:35to buy one or two products.
17:38The lack of parking places is also a problem
17:41as well as the long waiting lines
17:44found in supermarkets.
17:46There is also a mutual trust relationship
17:49between the grocer and his customers,
17:52which allows him to provide them with payment facilities.
18:01The small business has a special relationship with its customers.
18:06As the Moroccan Union of Merchants,
18:09we call on the Ministry of Health and Welfare
18:12to restructure the sector
18:14in order to guarantee the maintenance of small business activities
18:18and ensure their survival.
18:20It is inadmissible to grant authorizations to supermarkets
18:24to operate in neighborhoods where there are already many small businesses.
18:30The supermarkets also play the role of proximity banks.
18:34The personal loans granted by the supermarkets
18:37can reach up to 840 dirhams per month
18:40according to the data of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
18:43Data that the government should take into account,
18:46say the professionals of the trade.
18:51Small businesses are characterized by their proximity and flexibility,
18:56but today they face increased competition
18:59from large supermarkets
19:01as they offer interesting promotions.
19:07Nowadays, it is essential
19:09that these supermarkets adopt innovative methods
19:12in the marketing of their products
19:14in order to align with the current practices in the field.
19:18It is true that supermarkets remain the sanctuary of a population
19:21for whom large areas are a luxury.
19:24This is why supermarkets should take advantage
19:27of this market evolution
19:29and see it as an opportunity to reinvent themselves.
19:32This time in Tunisia,
19:34the opposition protested in front of the court
19:37of the first instance of the capital
19:39to demand the release of political detainees.
19:42Among them, top leaders of the opposition
19:45arrested by the authorities 22 months ago
19:48in the case of conspiracy against the security
19:51of the Tunisian state, Najwa Bechat.
19:57While most of the political personalities arrested
20:00for more than two years are still in detention,
20:03demonstrators and relatives of the detainees
20:06gathered in front of the court of the first instance
20:09of the Tunisian capital
20:11to demand their release.
20:14A protest organized by the Front de Salut National,
20:17the main coalition of the opposition,
20:20on the occasion of the International Day of Human Rights.
20:25These people have been in prison for a very long time
20:28without knowing the reasons for their arrest.
20:31The perspectives are blurred
20:33and they have no information on the date of their trial.
20:36The path is still long and blurry,
20:38just like the process.
20:40The Court of Cassation will return the case
20:43to the court of the first instance.
20:45Today we are faced with unfair decisions
20:48because the judiciary is not independent.
20:53In this context, the Committee of Defense of the Detainees
20:56has considered that several violations of the procedures
20:59have been recorded in this case
21:02and that they have been in detention for 22 months
21:05without any element inculpating them.
21:10After a long wait,
21:12an audience was set up in front of the Court of Cassation
21:15on December 24th.
21:17We still have hope.
21:19This is why we continue to investigate,
21:21to submit reports,
21:23to plead, to demand the release of the detainees
21:26by organizing demonstrations in the streets,
21:28not to put pressure on the judiciary,
21:30but to raise public opinion
21:32about the fact that there are oppressed people
21:35behind bars without committing criminal acts.
21:39An action that has been going on for 22 months
21:42since the detention of political prisoners
21:45in the context of the so-called conspiracy
21:47against the security of the State.
21:49The political parties have thus demonstrated
21:52to denounce the servicing of the judicial system
21:55and the violations of the procedures,
21:57estimating that the imprisonment of the accused
22:00was due to a political decision.
22:04This is the end of this news.
