00:00Hello everyone, and welcome to Medihand to take a look at the news of the day.
00:16The city of Agadir is preparing to celebrate Eid al-Adha in 1975, the new year in Mazir,
00:22with a program rich in festivities from the 10th to the 17th of January.

00:58in El Kitan, east of Tetouan.
01:00More than 100 hectares of plant cover were ravaged by the flames.
01:05Thanks to the massive intervention of the teams of the Civil Protection and Forest and Water Department,
01:10the fire could finally be circumscribed after several hours of effort.
01:15An investigation has been opened to determine the causes of the disaster.
01:19The Tunisian press has reported four new cases of gas asphyxia,

01:31confirmed the recording of four new cases of gas asphyxia in the Abéja region on Monday, January 6.
01:39According to the same source, a couple and their two sons in the Azema district of Abéja
01:44felt headaches and several other symptoms due to an asphyxia to carbon monoxide.
01:50They were urgently transported to the hospital by the Civil Protection.
01:54Thus, the number of people asphyxiated by gas in Mjézalbab,
01:58following a use of heating, has fallen to eight,
02:01after four members of another family have also been asphyxiated by gas in the Toukaber region.

02:21who want to drive in its downtown.
02:24According to the New York Times, the measure is far from unanimous.
