00:00Hello everyone, and welcome to Medihand to take a look at the highlights of this week.
00:17The colors of Morocco are invited to the Place Saint-Michel in Paris.
00:21And this, from April 4 to April 13, 2025, reports the site Yabiladi.
00:26On the occasion of Moroccan cultural days, an ephemeral village settles in the heart of the French capital, from 10 to 20 o'clock,
00:34to offer a simple walk to Marrakech, Rabat, Casablanca or Essaouira, without leaving Paris.
00:40Combining tradition and modernity, the program offers gastronomy, know-how, festive animations, but above all, a nice dose of escape.
00:50In short, a nice way to taste the Moroccan way of life, all at two steps from the quays of Seine.
00:56The 360 is interested in the impacts of customs tariffs announced by Trump on African economies.
01:03The United States has published the list of customs tariffs that will be applied to imports from 185 countries, including 51 African.
01:12These taxes on imports vary from 10 to 50%. South Africa, Tunisia and Algeria are among the most taxed in Africa,
01:20while Ethiopia, Egypt and Morocco are relatively spared.
01:25For the most affected countries, this measure will not be without economic consequences.
01:29The fixed rates are based on what is practiced by third countries on imported products from the United States.
01:36These new customs tariffs come into force on April 5 to be fixed at 10% and on May 9 for others.
01:43Trump explains that this is not a total reciprocity, but rather a reciprocity in softness.
01:48African countries will now have to face higher costs to access the American market.
01:54Worse, these taxes sign the end of the African Growth and Opportunity Act, known as AGOA,
02:00a law of the American Congress adopted in May 2000 and signed by President Bill Clinton.
02:05AGOA therefore offers eligible sub-Saharan African countries access to the American market for more than 1,800 products.
02:14Alongside the heavily taxed small African countries, reciprocity also requires South Africa.
02:21The country was so far the main African beneficiary of AGOA, with $3.6 billion in 2023,
02:29of which a large part in the automotive sector, where 125,000 jobs directly or indirectly linked to this agreement are threatened.
02:37And among the least taxed countries in the world, 26 are African, which will undergo customs rights up to 10%,
02:44including Morocco, Ethiopia and Egypt.
02:47However, knowing that this customs right is the flat rate applied to the least taxed countries,
02:51the impact on competitiveness vis-à-vis other countries will be low.
02:55These less taxed countries can therefore constitute opportunities.
02:59Health point.
03:00The WHO is concerned about an increase in cases of infant tuberculosis in Europe and Central Asia.
03:06This is what Espresso said.
03:07Tuberculosis cases in children under the age of 15 in these two regions were up 10% in 2023 compared to the previous year.
03:16More than 172,000 people with new or recurrent tuberculosis were diagnosed in 2023,
03:22which is similar to the level of 2022 according to the report of the European branch of the WHO.
03:28This is an increase for the third consecutive year.
03:32In the only area of ​​the European Union and the European economic area,
03:36nearly 37,000 people have been diagnosed, i.e. 2,000 more than the previous year.
03:42The conclusion of the report shows that the spread of tuberculosis is still ongoing in the region.
03:47According to the WHO, immediate public health measures are necessary to control and reduce the growing burden of tuberculosis.
03:55On the other hand, the African region has recorded the highest global drop in deaths due to tuberculosis since 2015,
04:03despite the absence of key steps to considerably reduce the burden of the disease.
04:07According to the African branch of the WHO, deaths due to tuberculosis have decreased by 42% between 2015 and 2023,
04:15while cases have decreased by 24% during the same period.
04:19Slowly but surely, the North American continent is being deleted.
04:24The article from the Geo website explains that under the surface of North America,
04:28pieces of rock are slowly detaching from the craton, the core of the continent.
04:34This is what a study carried out by researchers at the University of Texas in Austin reveals.
04:39The team was interested in an amazing phenomenon called the cratonic drop-by-drop,
04:44which leads to a very progressive detachment of blocks of rock.
04:47This geological process would be caused by the remains of the pharaoh plate,
04:52an ancient tectonic plate that influences the terrestrial mantle.
04:55The Midwest in the United States would therefore be the most impacted region.
04:59However, we should not expect to see the Americans find themselves soon without land under their feet.
05:04However, as explained by Interesting Engineering,
05:07the cratons are not safe from change and can be disturbed by several factors.
05:12According to the results of this study, the craton should cease to be impacted
05:16when the remains of this plate sink deeper into the hands.
05:20These results have also allowed researchers to demonstrate
05:23that the pharaoh plate has been sinking into North America for 200 million years.
05:28Founded in 1975 by two childhood friends, Bill Gates and Paul Allen,
05:34Microsoft blew its 50th candle.
05:37This is what the site Futura reported.
05:39The American company has had great success like Windows and Microsoft 365,
05:44but also failures in size compared to its competitors.
05:48Today, Microsoft invests massively in artificial intelligence and the cloud.
05:53A little background to go over the innovations of this group.
05:57In 1990, Microsoft launched the Office office suite,
06:01which originally included Excel table software, PowerPoint presentations,
06:06and Word text processing.
06:08For the company, the name 365 is supposed to evoke accessibility to its services every day of the year.
06:15At the end of 2024, Microsoft 365 had 86 million subscribers worldwide.
06:21And in 1995, it was the Internet Explorer browser that saw the light of day.
06:26For several years, it dominated access to the Internet,
06:29until in 2003 it had a market share of 95%.
06:33But major security flaws on several versions of the browser
06:37hindered its reputation and Internet users gradually preferred competing browsers.
06:43Internet Explorer was therefore removed from the market in 2022.
06:47The first five decades of Microsoft were marked by regretful successes,
06:52but also by fiascos.
06:54In 2010, for example, the software giant had thus decided,
06:58after less than three months, to stop its range of mobile phones.
07:02Kin, supposed to seduce a young clientele,
07:04adepts of social networks, but which was a commercial failure.
07:08Kin has joined the list of other forgotten devices today,
07:11like the Zune walker, released in 2006,
07:14but which could never compete with Apple's iPod, released five years earlier.
07:19Turning on 70% of desktop computers in the world in February 2025,
07:25Microsoft's leading operating system, Windows,
07:28was largely ahead of OS X, the Mac computer system.
07:32With Apple and NVIDIA, Microsoft is one of the first three
07:36global stock market capitalizations, with about $2.9 billion, at the end of March.
07:42We come to the end of this press review.
07:44Very good follow-up and programs on Medium.
