00:00Hello everyone, welcome to Mediain TV for your daily newscast.
00:15The emergency expenses for the management of the damage caused by the earthquake have been revealed to be much lower than initial forecasts,
00:23while waiting for the finalization scheduled for December 31, 2025, where all the inhabitants should in principle be relocated.
00:30The first figures of the assessment of the implementation of the government's emergency assistance program to the population have begun to fall,
00:36writes the Information Portal, taking up the lines of the Economist.
00:40According to an assessment carried out by the Directorate of Treasury and Foreign Finances,
00:44the impact on gross domestic product was only 3.5% against the 8% on which the government was tabling.
00:51This situation is explained in particular by the increase in tourist revenues this year and the growing transfers from the Moroccan diaspora.
00:59These two sources of income for the budget have seen a constant progression since last January, explains the 360.
01:05Before continuing, on the ground, the emergency assistance program to the victims has also exceeded expectations.
01:11Thus, 28 campaign hospitals were deployed in the next 15 days following the earthquake known as Hell House, against two initially planned.
01:20Still in the Kingdom, the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication is strengthening the defense of its immaterial heritage.
01:29As the brief states, Minister Mohamed Mehdi Ben Said exhorted the House of Representatives to set up an international mechanism
01:37dedicated to the protection of Moroccan immaterial heritage against illegal appropriation.
01:42At the last meeting of the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee in Paraguay,
01:47the Kingdom managed to block an attempt by a foreign country to appropriate the image of the Moroccan caftan,
01:53marking a historic first for the organization.
01:56The caftan should be officially registered as a world heritage in 2025.
02:01The Minister stressed the measures taken to strengthen this protection,
02:05including the creation of the Morocco Label, an innovative legal framework intended to preserve material and immaterial heritage.
02:12At the same time, several local initiatives bear witness to the Kingdom's commitment, such as the Month of Heritage.
02:18These actions, aligned with the royal vision, aim to pass this heritage on to future generations,
02:23while affirming the collective memory and cultural identity of Morocco.
02:30In Haiti, to pursue this press release, a massacre in Abjet, commanded by a gang leader,
02:36killed 184 people, a new episode of endemic violence that is bleeding the country.
02:41The International Courier quotes a statement from the United Nations, reporting this massacre of 184 elderly people.
02:48The events took place in a neighborhood of the slum of Cité Soleil, in Port-au-Prince,
02:53and would have been perpetrated following the illness of the son of the gang leader, Monel Félix, a.k.a. Mikanor.
02:59According to the Committee for Peace and Development, an NGO for the defense of human rights,
03:03the criminal would have consulted a voodoo priest who accused elderly people of witchcraft,
03:09of being at the origin of the mysterious illness of the boy.
03:12A massacre that echoes another killing, that of October 3rd in Ponsondé,
03:17where 115 people had been killed by an armed gang.
03:20Haiti has suffered for years from chronic political instability and a security crisis
03:26linked to the presence of many armed gangs, which reign terror in many areas of the island.

03:35Taking diplomatic positions, meeting with foreign leaders,
03:39even before finding the White House in 2025, Donald Trump is omnipresent, according to the Wall Street Journal.
03:45And according to the American daily, the rest of the world already seems to prefer him
03:50rather than the Democratic President Joe Biden, still in place but very erased.
03:54The tradition in the United States is that the country is only one president at a time.
03:58At the moment, it is Trump who seems to occupy the function,
04:03because President Biden leaves him all the light, according to the Wall Street Journal.
04:07The former Republican president won the presidential election on November 5th,
04:11but will only be invested on January 20th, and yet continues the publication of New York.
04:16While Joe Biden stayed in Washington, it was the elected president who met last weekend in Paris
04:22French President Emmanuel Macron and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.
04:27In theory, conversations with Donald Trump and world leaders could break the law.
04:32Logan, a federal text prohibiting diplomacy in private with foreign countries,
04:37nevertheless, his way of acting is indeed a rupture with the norms of the past.
04:42End of quote.
04:46A UN report points out desertification.
04:49In expansion, a worldwide phenomenon closely related to the emission of greenhouse gases of human origin.
04:54Life Science reports.
04:56Published on Monday, this study carried out by a panel of experts
04:59describes a global existential threat.
05:02Because if the trajectory continues, up to 5 billion people could live in arid areas in 2100,
05:09with soils that are depleting, water resources that are diminishing, and ecosystems that are disappearing,
05:14indicates the Specialized Information Portal.
05:17This report, entitled The Global Threat of Land Drought,
05:20regional and global trend in terms of aridity and future projections,
05:25indicates that 77.6% of the planet's emerging lands have dried up over the last three decades.
05:31Almost all of Europe, the West of the United States, Brazil, East Asia and Central Africa are particularly affected.
05:39Arid surfaces have gained the equivalent of an area larger than India,
05:42to cover today 40.6% of emerging lands, with the exception of Antarctica.
05:48Logically, the scientists at the origin of the report
05:51point out the industrial emissions of greenhouse gases as the main reason for this phenomenon.
06:00This is the end of this press release.
06:01Thank you all for following it.
06:03Have a good rest of the program on Mediard TV.
