00:00Hello everyone, welcome to Mediantv for your press release.
00:14With a new increase in tourist arrivals during the first two months of 2025,
00:19Les Echos wonders if the tourism sector would not be entering a new cycle without a low season.
00:25Why this question?
00:27According to the Ministry of Tourism, Morocco has attracted more than 2.7 million tourists between January and February 2025,
00:34an important 24% increase compared to 2024,
00:38and 521,000 additional arrivals, with solid performance on the main markets.
00:44Observatories speak of more than 2 million nights during the first month of the year,
00:49and 9 billion recipes, consolidating the idea of the ministry that the kingdom is among the flagship destinations.
00:55Les Echos also evokes the hypothesis of building palaces and congresses,
01:01notably in Casablanca and Marrakech, in order to maintain a sustained activity throughout the year
01:07and thus no longer have a low season in the perspective of the organization of major events to come.
01:12Having such a welcoming infrastructure would be the minimum, not only in these two cities,
01:17but also in all major destinations in the country, concludes Les Echos.
01:22A recent report from the European Commission reveals a significant increase in Moroccan oil exports to the European Union.
01:30According to the 360, between October and November 2024, these exports reached 841 tonnes,
01:36against 533 tonnes for the same period of the previous campaign.
01:40But inevitably, this substantial progression has resulted in a surge in prices on the local market,
01:45the litre of olive oil now exceeding the 100 dirhams.
01:48This publication intervenes in a context of notable decrease in the production of olive oil in the kingdom
01:54due to a persistent drought that directly affects olive growing cultures,
01:58specifies the information portal.
02:00To maintain the production rate in this period of hydric stress,
02:03more and more farmers opt for the culture of foreign varieties,
02:07notably the Arbequina Espanola, a choice that is explained mainly
02:11by a yield higher than that of the local variety, the Moroccan Picholine,
02:16as well as by its adaptation to drip irrigation,
02:20considered as an effective way to rationalize water consumption, explains the 360 in its article.
02:28New episode around customs taxes in North America.
02:31Canada announces new customs rights on some American products.
02:36Taxes of 25% will be imposed on Thursday on 29.8 billion Canadian dollars of American exports.
02:43According to Dominique Leblanc, the Minister of Finance,
02:46among the goods targeted are steel products for a value of 12.6 billion Canadian dollars,
02:52aluminum for 3 billion and products from computers to sports equipment.
02:57This is a measure of retaliation against customs tariffs imposed by Donald Trump
03:01on access to Canadian steel and aluminum.
03:04So far, David has managed to throw a rag in Goliath,
03:08remarked the editorialist of the Globe and Mail,
03:10by running into the depths of immorality with his orange hue of cockroach.
03:14Donald Trump has galvanized Canadians, reviving our national pride.
03:18End of quote.
03:19Already yesterday, the future Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney,
03:22indicated that he is ready to speak directly with his American counterpart
03:26about trade relations between the two countries,
03:29provided that this is done while respecting Canadian sovereignty.
03:34Argentina, to continue our tour of the world with violent hours in Buenos Aires
03:39during a march for the defense of retirees,
03:41says Parina Dossech.
03:43Retirees, who have been demonstrating every week in the Argentine capital for years
03:47against the degradation of their purchasing power,
03:49marched once again towards the Parliament.
03:52Yesterday reports the Argentine daily.
03:54But this time they were not alone.
03:56They were joined by supporters of football
03:59who decided to support them against the constant repression
04:02to which they are confronted.
04:04If it affects the elderly, what a mess is being prepared.
04:06Groups of supporting supporters sang,
04:09Parina Dossech reports.
04:11The demonstration degenerated in the middle of the afternoon
04:13on the outskirts of the Parliament,
04:15which was in session,
04:16various stones and projectiles,
04:17which aimed at the police,
04:18which used rubber bullets,
04:20water cannons and tear gas
04:22during clashes that lasted more than two hours.
04:25At least 20 people were injured,
04:27including a journalist who was hit by a projectile
04:30while taking pictures.
04:32A hundred people were arrested,
04:34according to the police.
04:37This is the end of this press release.
