01:08Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, the flags are in Berne on Monday in the United States,
01:14the day after the 100-year-old death of former President Jimmy Carter, whose political and
01:20pacifist afterlife has also been saluted by philanthropists from all sides.
01:25Joe Biden has decreed a day of national day on January 9 for the one who was president
01:32from 1977 to 1981 and ordered that the American flags be put in Berne for a period of one
01:41month, including during the investiture of Donald Trump in Washington on January 20.
01:47Leaders from all over the world salute the memory and legacy of Jimmy Carter, a man
01:56of principle for Joe Biden, a defender of the rights of vulnerable people for Emmanuel
02:01Macron.
02:02The challenges to which Jimmy was confronted as president have arisen at a crucial moment
02:09for our country, and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans,
02:16wrote Donald Trump on his behalf.
02:18His Majesty King Mohammed VI also sent a message of condolence and compassion to American President
02:31Joe Biden following the death of former President Jimmy Carter.
02:36In this message, the sovereign claims to have learned with great sadness the death of Jimmy
02:42Carter, a man of reconciliation and dialogue.
02:48The world salutes the memory and legacy of former President Jimmy Carter, who died yesterday
02:55at the age of 100.
02:56Head of State from 1977 to 1981 and known for his sense of diplomacy, the 39th
03:05American President and the first tenant of the White House.
03:08Over the land of sub-Saharan Africa, Dina Amrini gives us her portrait.
03:17Former President of the United States Jimmy Carter died on Sunday, December 29, at the
03:21age of 100.
03:22A true figure of American politics of the 20th century, Carter is particularly recognized
03:28for his commitments to human rights and the fight against poverty, but also through
03:34his relations with African countries and his efforts to support development and democratic
03:39governance projects.
03:4039th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981, Jimmy Carter then defeated Gerald
03:49Ford and marked history with his foreign policy focused on the defense of human rights.
03:54He is notably associated with the Camp David Accords, by which Egypt and Israel normalize
04:00their relations.
04:01While most of the other presidents have carried out two consecutive mandates, Carter has won
04:07only one presidential election.
04:09After four complicated years at the White House, he spent more than three decades
04:14sweeping the world and working for peace.
04:17His commitment to democracy and social justice was not limited to the borders of the United
04:22States.
04:23It extended far beyond, to the most vulnerable regions of the world, to conflicts and violations
04:28of fundamental rights, especially in Africa.
04:31The former Democratic president has thus served as a mediator in several conflicts, encouraging
04:37peace and reconciliation in contexts where war and violence seemed to dominate.
04:42He, who had witnessed segregation in the south of the United States, where he is from,
04:49he thought that the struggles of the African continent and his country were linked.
04:53He was also the first American president to sweep the subsaarian floor in 1978 in Liberia.
04:59The former American president also supported democratic processes and peace initiatives
05:05in Ethiopia, Sudan and Somalia.
05:08He has always sought to support political reforms in these countries.
05:12Another important part of his relations with Africa was his role in development.
05:19The CARTER initiative, after its departure from the presidency, has financed health programs,
05:25education and sustainable development throughout Africa, with special attention paid to the
05:32most disadvantaged regions.
05:34In 1994, he actively participated in the support of the process of democratic transition in
05:41South Africa.
05:42In this sense, he contributed to the establishment of a new constitution and to the support
05:47of Nelson Mandela.
05:48After his presidency, he continued to go to countries such as Mali and Kenya to observe
05:55the elections and advise African leaders in their efforts to democratize their society.
06:01At the end of his term, the former American president launched in 1982 his foundation,
06:07the CARTER Center.
06:08It has largely contributed to the improvement of living conditions in Africa, thanks to
06:15projects aimed at eradicating diseases, such as the Guinea worm disease, which had
06:20spread to Sudan, Mali, Chad and Ghana.
06:23On October 11, 2002, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Jimmy Carter for his efforts
06:30in favor of a peaceful resolution of the conflicts.
06:33It is also Day in the Republic of Korea, the flags are down this Monday to honor the
06:41memory of the 179 people killed in the crash of a plane that took off on Sunday morning.
06:47The Boeing 737-800 of the Korean airline Jeju Air, from Bangkok, transported 175 passengers
06:56and 6 crew members.
06:57All these passengers were killed, according to the final rescue report, with the exception
07:03of two miraculous, a nurse and a steward.
07:06The country has decreed a national mourning on this day, while the interim president will
07:12be at the scene of the tragedy for a commemoration ceremony.
07:15According to the authorities, the presumed cause of the tragedy is a collision with birds.
07:21Following this air tragedy, the Republic of Korea launched today a complete inspection
07:31of all Boeing 737-800 aircraft used by the airlines in the country.
07:37This morning, another Boeing 737-800 of Jeju Air encountered a problem related to the
07:44landing gear already put into question yesterday.
07:47The Korean air transport sector is considered to be globally reliable by experts who judge
07:54such tragedies as very rare.
07:55The health system in northern Gaza has been destroyed by the conflict and hospitals are
08:08completely inoperable, said today the International Committee of the Red Cross.
08:13The CICR has also called for respect and protection of medical facilities in accordance with international
08:22humanitarian law.
08:23Since October 6, Israeli operations in Gaza have focused on the north, with authorities
08:31claiming that their land and air offensives aim to prevent Hamas from regrouping.
08:37And then in Syria, the organization of elections could take four years, according to Ahmed Al-Shareh
08:46.
08:47Yesterday, during an interview with the Saudi Arabian channel, the new strongman of Syria
08:53affirmed that it is necessary to rewrite the constitution, a task that could take two
08:59or three years, according to him.
09:00Ahmed Al-Shareh also called on the administration of the future American president, Donald Trump,
09:06to lift the sanctions imposed on Syria by the United States under the former regime of
09:11Bashar al-Assad.
09:12Let's stay in Syria with the new leader, Ahmed Al-Shareh, who has appointed former rebels
09:22to command posts within the future army of the country, among whom are foreign fighters,
09:29according to experts.
09:30After more than half a century of reign without sharing of the Assad family, the new authorities
09:37to restructure the state apparatus put in place by the former power whose army collapsed.
09:43In a decree published on Sunday, the general command of Ahmed Al-Shareh lists 49 names,
09:49including those of Syrian rebels and former army officers who deserted at the first
09:56hour after the start of the war in 2011 and rallied the rebellion.
10:02Direction Mayotte now, where the new French Prime Minister has the ambition to rebuild
10:10the devastated archipelago in two years.
10:12François Bayrou promised this morning in Mayotte, where he is on the move, a plan
10:18of aid with quick answers for the island devastated by the Shido cyclone.
10:22After a day of dialogue, the French government will announce tonight a plan called
10:29Mayotte standing, said François Bayrou.
10:32The evening of Mayotte could be the subject of a special bill that would be presented
10:37at the Council of Ministers on Friday.
10:45Direction Le Châdre, where some 8 million voters voted yesterday in the provincial and local
10:51legislative elections.
10:53The triple elections were marked by a low participation rate that did not exceed 52%
10:59according to the estimates of the National Election Management Agency.
11:03And while the deployment is still ongoing, parties of the opposition have announced
11:08the withdrawal of the electoral process due to fraud.
11:14This time in Guinea, following the announcement of the postponement of the end of the transition period,
11:21the living forces do not hide their anger.
11:24Opposition parties and members of civil society have decided to no longer recognize
11:29the military in power from December 31.
11:33Here are the details.
11:36It is the execution of the 10 points of the transition schedule that should lead
11:41to a return to the constitutional order in Guinea.
11:45To date, many points remain unfinished.
11:48For the political formation of former Prime Minister Selouda Rengianglo,
11:52the authorities of the transition lacked the will to give power to civilians.
11:57The transition will not end on December 31 because we did not do what we had to do.
12:00There is only one base left.
12:02For me, I don't hear anything from the CEDEAO.
12:04No one from the CEDEAO came here to accept a so-called two-year dynamic schedule.
12:12In these two years, they have included the Ravek.
12:16I understood that the CEDEAO too, if it has hopes, it is not quality hopes.
12:20Because we cannot do a Ravek in two years.
12:23It is not possible.
12:24In any country in the world, we do a Ravek in two years.
12:27For the Alliance for Change and Progress,
12:30the actors involved in the transition in Guinea must give more time
12:34to the leaders for a real re-founding.
12:37The leader of this party refutes the use of the street demonstrations
12:41announced by the living forces.
12:43This transition came as a result of a difficult situation for the Guineans.
12:50Let's give time to those who have taken power today
12:56to get us out of what we were,
12:58so that Guinea now lives the true era of democracy.
13:05It cannot be done in haste.
13:09How can we talk today about elections
13:11when we don't even have electoral files,
13:14when we don't even have electoral codes?
13:17Even the institution that will preside over the elections,
13:21we don't have a consensus on that yet.
13:24We think that the re-founding is on the right track.
13:30The living forces of Guinea intend to oppose
13:33by all legal means to avoid a slip
13:36which, according to them, will lead to a confiscation of power by the military.
13:41They are also planning a demonstration on 6 January
13:44to demand respect for the commitment taken
13:47to a return to the constitutional order.
13:51Between security challenges and diplomatic turmoil,
13:54Mali ends the year 2024 with a mixed result in these two areas.
13:59This is the opinion of some local elected analysts
14:02who spoke on the microphone of our correspondent Mohamed Ayyako.
14:07In Bamako, despite the vigorous preparations for the end of the year,
14:11we take the time to assess,
14:14especially on the security level,
14:16which according to the analyst of security issues, Paul Oula, is mixed.
14:20In the past, security was still concentrated
14:24at the level of the northern part of the country
14:27and in the center of Mali.
14:29It must be recognized that insecurity has spread
14:32more or less over the entire territory.
14:35It is still possible to recognize
14:39that the army is still fighting in breach.
14:43The armed groups are still mobilizing.
14:48This means that everything is not good,
14:51everything is not as good as it should be.
14:54For Abdoulaye Kassouge, Mayor of Badiangara,
14:57a region in the center, shaken by sporadic attacks,
15:00confidence is beginning to return
15:03with the efforts deployed by the army in recent months.
15:06There is a morale of appeasement that is beginning to heal.
15:11But people are still in doubt.
15:14We must work on this in order to get people to reason.
15:20The multiplication of partnerships
15:23and the decision to leave the CRI
15:26are at the heart of Malian diplomacy
15:29with opposite effects according to Dr. Amadou Ntouri,
15:32a teacher at the Faculty of Administrative and Political Sciences in Bamako.
15:36The partnership for Mali in 2024 was a real success
15:40because Malian diplomacy highlighted the interests of Mali.
15:45But in parallel to these winning partnerships,
15:48we also have problems, especially with our brothers in the CDIO,
15:51we have problems with the brothers of the African Union.
15:55A mixed balance and reasons for satisfaction,
15:58reasons for satisfaction that must be consolidated
16:01according to local analysts and elected officials.
16:06New weather alerts are expected in Morocco
16:09with snowfalls and cold waves
16:12expected until Tuesday in several provinces,
16:15including Basel, Tenerife, Alhawz and Ouarzazate.
16:18There will also be a drop in temperatures
16:21in the provinces of Midelt, Tardant, Benimelal and Ifran,
16:25where temperatures could reach up to 5°C.
16:29This is what the General Directorate of Meteorology is telling us
16:32in an orange alert bulletin.
16:40After this year of unprecedented drought,
16:43Moroccan dam reserves have decreased by half.
16:47They went from 8.9 billion cubic metres
16:51in 2018 to 4.4 billion this year.
16:55This situation is causing concern
16:58as to the availability of water resources.
17:01Explanations with Dinam Drini.
17:06In Morocco, hydric stress continues to be one of the biggest challenges
17:10after this year of severe drought.
17:13To date, 2024 has shown no signs of receding
17:16in the face of the pressures caused by climate change.
17:20This is causing concern
17:22as to the availability of water resources.
17:25They went from 10.8 billion cubic metres in 2018
17:29to 3.37 billion cubic metres in 2024,
17:33after being reduced by 2 billion cubic metres in 2022.
17:37On the dam side,
17:39water reserves are following the same trajectory.
17:42They have decreased by half,
17:44going from 8.9 billion cubic metres in 2018
17:48to only 4.4 billion cubic metres in 2024.
17:51The absence of significant rainfall
17:54at the end of the year
17:56is causing concern about the agricultural season.
17:59The low rainfall recorded in recent months
18:02suggests uncertain prospects for cereal production.
18:06It is capable of reaching 2.5 million hectares
18:10of autumnal crops,
18:12even in favourable conditions.
18:15The Ministry of Health and Welfare
18:17wants to be reassuring
18:19and says that despite the reduction in dam reserves,
18:22the need for drinking water has been sufficiently met,
18:25thanks in particular to the use of desalination.
18:28Morocco expects rainfall in the coming days
18:31to mitigate this crisis.
18:33However, the prolonged absence of rain
18:36could reduce the current water availability
18:39to 300 cubic metres per inhabitant,
18:41an alarming threshold
18:43that shows the gravity of the current situation.
18:46New Year's Eve in Morocco
18:48always means that some markets
18:50are preparing to welcome many customers.
18:53The flower, chocolate and pastry shops
18:56are experiencing a real rush.
18:58These end-of-year celebrations
19:00are moments of communion
19:02and joy for the family.
19:04Ayoub Draza and Idriss Beyoud
19:06dive into this festive atmosphere.
19:09In Rabat,
19:10the last days of December
19:12are particularly busy.
19:14Inhabitants and visitors
19:16flock to the markets and shops
19:18to prepare to welcome the New Year.
19:20Flowers play a central role
19:22in the end-of-year celebrations
19:24and florists are in full activity
19:26to respond to a growing demand.
19:28The flowers are in high demand
19:30during this period.
19:34Customers want elegant compositions
19:36often to offer to their loved ones
19:38or decorate their table.
19:42It is a very special period.
19:46Flowers are in high demand
19:48during the holidays.
19:52We have designed special gifts
19:54for the holidays.
19:58People like to offer flowers
20:00to their loved ones.
20:02They bring joy and amaze the house.
20:04It is a gift that always pleases.
20:08Chocolate shops also know
20:10a peak of activity.
20:12Chocolate, a symbol of pleasure
20:14and sharing,
20:16is one of the favorite gifts
20:18for this period.
20:20I really like flowers
20:22because it allows you
20:24to decorate the house.
20:26There are beautiful bouquets
20:28and even dried flowers
20:30which allow you
20:32to stay all year long.
20:34It is a place full of poetry.
20:38The New Year is synonymous
20:40with sharing and joy.
20:42I like to celebrate it as a family.
20:46I like to buy gifts for the New Year.
20:48I like to offer gifts
20:50to my mother who always gave me.
20:52Offering a gift
20:54during this period
20:56is a precious gesture.
21:00I wish a Happy New Year
21:02to all Moroccans.
21:06In parallel with the shops,
21:08the atmosphere in the streets
21:10is festive and joyful.
21:12The lights and animations
21:14create a charming decor
21:16that delights the inhabitants
21:18and visitors of the capital.
21:20We are in Ajamé,
21:22in Ivory Coast,
21:24the center of the Ivorian trade
21:26known for its tentacle market.
21:28It is transforming
21:30into an animated rush
21:32where shoppers and customers
21:34are getting ready
21:36for the big holiday.
21:38Mel Berchel and Herman Doggo
21:40are showing us around.
21:42Ajamé, the heart of the Ivorian
21:44economic metropolis,
21:46is in full swing
21:48In the early hours of the New Year,
21:50the central market
21:52and the big markets
21:54are crowded with people.
21:56There are pants,
21:58skirts,
22:00jackets,
22:02jackets,
22:04jackets,
22:06jackets,
22:08jackets,
22:10jackets,
22:12jackets,
22:14jackets,
22:16andezaat
22:18I bought 2 pairs of jeans,
22:20a pair of trousers,
22:22a dress.
22:24They cost me 40,000 francs
22:26I bought 2 pairs of shoes
22:28These are fashionable,
22:30and the area is pretty clean.
22:32Not too many bottles
22:34Not too many bottles
22:36In the distance,
22:38we see a lady
22:39who specializes in roaming
22:40folks to speak to women.
22:42A loyal customer
22:43has been growing
22:45to the quality of their products.
22:47The previous years were a little better than this year,
22:50but by the grace of God, we are getting a little bit better,
22:53we are moving a little bit.
22:55It's not like it's going to be okay this year.
22:57As long as there is health, we are going to be okay.
22:59These are very good articles, at a good price,
23:01and of good quality too.
23:03We have mules, we have sandals.
23:05Mules are more practical, for example,
23:07to go to work and everything.
23:09And the sandals are a little higher,
23:11to be able to see, smell, everything.
23:14In Adjame, the liveliness of the last moments
23:17before the New Year is much more
23:19than a simple commercial ritual.
23:21It illustrates the overflowing energy
23:23of a community that, every year,
23:25puts itself at the level of celebrations.
23:27An atmosphere of celebration and reunion
23:29that gives a taste of a New Year
23:31rich in promise.
23:34Let's stay in this world of celebration
23:36and still on the occasion of New Year celebrations
23:38in Tunisia this time.
23:40The traditional craft market,
23:42Cahina, in Tunisia,
23:44brings together the enthusiasts
23:46of Amazigh culture.
23:48A variety of jewellery
23:50and art pieces
23:52reflect the authenticity
23:54of the villages
23:56that still preserve their heritage.
23:58Nojwa Bechat tells us more.
24:02In parallel to his law studies,
24:04his passion for art led him
24:06to revisit the symbols and the Berber craftsman
24:08in a contemporary perspective,
24:10through this exhibition
24:12entitled El Cahina.
24:14Mariam Bribri invites us
24:16to rediscover the richness
24:18and resilience of Berber culture
24:20and to plunge into a world
24:22where each work tells
24:24the millennial story
24:26of a proud and resilient people.
24:30I am from a village
24:32called Oum Choucha,
24:34from the delegation of Bira Ali Ben Khilifa
24:36in Asfax, 200 km from the capital.
24:38I grew up in this small village
24:40where the men wear
24:42khachabiyas and the women
24:44wear emaliyas.
24:46I grew up in a Berber environment
24:48that I try to value today
24:50so that it does not disappear.
24:52The departure was linked
24:54to a fabric belonging to my father.
24:56I insisted on making a revisited khachabiya
24:58and it worked.
25:00With this khachabiya,
25:02I also wanted to pay homage
25:04to the Tunisian shepherds and farmers
25:07It is indeed much more
25:09than clothes,
25:11it is their Tunisian Berber heritage
25:13but also in a more global African way
25:15that Mariam Bribri wishes
25:17to transmit to the whole world.
25:21Through my work,
25:23I try to defend the identity
25:25and the history of Amazigh.
25:27I am from a mother and a father
25:29who are artisans,
25:31and I believe in the need
25:33to preserve African culture.
25:35This idea is an idea,
25:37a position and a slogan
25:39that I started to implement
25:41through my own project
25:43despite the difficulties.
25:45This exhibition allowed
25:47visitors to offer a wide choice
25:49of products and a multitude
25:51of ideas for end-of-year gifts.
25:53From embroidery to jewellery,
25:55through wood, pottery, perfumes
25:57or even scented glass.
25:59These typically Tunisian revisited
26:01products are put back in order
26:03to bring out the knowledge
26:05of the ancestors and the creativity
26:07of young people,
26:09which gives a new breath
26:11to a rich and neglected heritage.
26:15We offer our clients
26:17the opportunity to discover
26:19unique handmade products
26:21with a lot of attention and creativity.
26:25I really liked this exhibition.
26:27There are articles that remind us
26:29of our ancestors.
26:31It's always a pleasure
26:33to receive original gifts.
