A great day for Jerusalem, splendid and joyful, a shining day for international law, for international justice and the principles of right and fairness, and a simple but important victory for the Palestinian Jerusalemite cause, when the Australian Foreign Minister in the new Labor government announced the cancellation of the Australian acceptance and recognition of western Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli entity that was taken by the old government in In 2018, I followed Donald Trump in his move to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Note with me that the Australian Foreign Minister refused to recognize West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and a fortiori that she refuses to recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Likewise, it refuses to recognize West and East Jerusalem combined as the capital of the Israeli entity. That is, it rejects all forms of Israeli annexation of Palestinian Jerusalem.
This Australian position on the new Labor government, following its recent elections, deserves praise and commendation, because it has returned to the international fold that rejects the annexation of Jerusalem and considering it its capital. During the previous period, Australia was within the camp opposed to the Palestinian cause, and was heavily biased towards the West and Israel. Rather, it intervened a lot to protect and support the Israeli position in international political and legal forums, and it constantly voted in favor of the Israeli position. Rather, it submitted an explanatory memorandum to the International Court of Justice, biased towards Israel, in the issue of the wall before the International Court of Justice, despite its lack of relevance. Therefore, the Israeli government's position was not hostile towards them, as much as it was calm, demanding patience, containment, and explanation and clarification of the Australian position.
Of course, on this occasion, the Israeli trumpets returned, and we are at the height of the electoral period, to repeat that broken, worn out cylinder, claiming that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel for more than three thousand years, and the complete freedom of every country to choose its capital, and it is not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of any country. It is sad that the reports of Arab satellite stations, including Al-Jazeera, in their urgent comment on the Australian news, made a mistake, intentionally or unintentionally, when they indicated that more than 115 countries recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but did not transfer their embassy to it, and this is completely wrong and did not happen at all, these countries No more than nine countries only. The source of their news is not known, and they must investigate accuracy.
In any case, it seems that the Israeli government has forgotten Partition Resolution No. 181, which has not fallen despite the passage of more than seven and a half decades since its issuance, and which was the reason for its existence, and which one of its parts was to allocate a special status for Jerusalem in its western and eastern parts, and it is still legally considered the correct legal perception To solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Rather, this decision, which was later called internationalization, specified the parts of the Holy City by name, namely: Abu Dis, Al-Eizariya, Al-Tur, Al-Isawiya, Silwan, Sur Baher, Umm Tuba, Lifta, Deir Yassin, Ain Karem, Al-Malha, Sharafat, Beit Safafa, Ramat Rachel and Shuafat, in addition to the cities of Bethlehem, Beit Jala and Beit Sahour. . All of this was ignored in 1949, when Ben-Gurion's government decided to take only West Jerusalem, not East, as its capital, and the Knesset approved that decision.
And if the Israeli government has forgotten the partition decision, then it is better for it to remember that package of UN resolutions issued by the General Assembly and the Security Council after the 1967 war, the most prominent of which was General Assembly Resolution No. 2253 and Security Council Resolution No. 252, not Resolution 242, and resolutions followed after that. They affirmed their refusal to seize land through military conquest, and considered all administrative and legislative measures taken by Israel to be null and void and do not change the legal status of Jerusalem.
Even after Donald Trump's clumsy decisions regarding Jerusalem and its recognition as the capital of Israel and the transfer of the Israeli embassy to it, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution by an overwhelming majority of 128 countries against nine peripheral countries, with thirty-five countries abstaining from voting, in which it supported its previous decisions on the issue of Jerusalem, which they rejected and did not It recognizes the Israeli procedures and considers them null and void and the inadmissibility of acquiring the lands of others by force.
The problem with these UN resolutions is that they are without claws and are limited to legal distancing and punishment, even if they are not recognized by Netanyahu, Lapid or Gantz, but the western, eastern, northern and southern world still adopt them in international relations because they are consistent with international law despite their partial injustice to the Palestinians. Hence, these countries, led by the Vatican, did not agree with Trump's move and did not support it for a long time, despite its orbit in the United States of America. However, very few countries followed the American path, such as Australia, Guatemala and Honduras. But the truth is higher and higher than that of Australia 2022 retreating from its steps in 2018. Perhaps Britain, Liz Terrace, will learn a lesson and learn from what happened in Australia, and not drift behind its tyrannical Zionism. Whoever sows the wind reaps the storm. And for the United States to return to its senses and reverse its misguided steps.
If we leave aside international legitimacy, and examine the saying that Jerusalem has been the eternal capital of Israel for three thousand years. We will find that, at least by their confession and the explicit recognition of their book, that Palestine was under Arab Islamic rule for a thousand and four hundred and odd years, to prove the falsity of this claim. Then did ancient times know the concept of the capital with all its modern administrative, legislative and ministerial components, so that Jerusalem would be their eternal capital? And was Jerusalem the capital of the state of “Judea” or the capital of the state of “Samaria”? How long did each of these two states last, if they were true? And what happened to this capital during the days of captivity and exile, as they say, two thousand years ago? So the existence of the capital in the central, legal, administrative, materialistic concept does not exist, and what is available is emotional feelings and mere sensations that do not build a right or a law. It is as if the Muslim's religious emotional feelings towards Mecca and Medina give me a sovereign right over them, or the Christian's feelings towards Jerusalem and Bethlehem give him a sovereign right over them.
As for the concept of a state’s freedom to choose its capital wherever it wants on its territory, it is a correct concept if it takes place on the lands of that state. As for it being established on the lands of others, by means of plundering and ignoring international decisions regarding it, it is not permissible at all. And the truest description of it is that it is a word of truth intended to be false. That is why all countries kept their embassies in Tel Aviv for seven decades and still are, and the eastern and western churches rejected this Israeli position.
Neither internationalization nor partition removed Jerusalem from Palestinian sovereignty, neither the truce nor the cease-fire stopped Palestinian sovereignty, nor did the aggression, invasion, occupation, or annexation by the Knesset bear fruit because it is illegitimate and forbidden. A Palestinian from the day of Yabous, Salem and Omar bin Al-Khattab, and ending with Bani Othman. Zahrat al-Madaen will remain the eternal capital of Palestine.

Tehran - (AFP) - Iranian authorities released on bail Sunday the famous Iranian actress Hengama Qadiani, according to two news agencies, more than a week after she was arrested after she supported the protest movement in the country.

Iran has been witnessing protests since the death of Iranian Kurdish Mahsa Amini, 22, on September 16, after she was arrested by the morality police in Tehran. The authorities consider these demonstrations "riots" incited by Western countries.

The official IRNA news agency reported that Qadiani's release came on Sunday "by order of the judiciary". Tasnim agency stated that the actress was released on bail.

Qadiani was arrested on November 20 after she incited and supported "riots" and contacted opposition media, according to IRNA.

The actress posted on her Instagram account a videotape filmed in a street in Tehran, in which she appears in front of the camera without speaking, and then turns around and ties her hair, similar to women heading to participate in demonstrations.

Qadiani, 52, won the Best Actress Award twice at the Fajr Film Festival in Tehran, in 2008 and 2012.

On Saturday, local media reported the release of the Iranian-Kurdish soccer player, Fawria Ghafouri, who was arrested Thursday on charges of spreading "propaganda" against the authorities. His wife denied via "Instagram" that the player had been released.

The authorities announced the arrest of thousands of people as part of these demonstrations, including personalities in cinema, politics and sports.

The university president congratulated Prof. Dr. Imad Abu Kishk, the student Idris, for this result, which indicates another superiority of the health colleges, students and academics, and the College of Public Health in particular, as this success expresses the creative vision according to which the university operates, to create a research and innovation environment led by academic competencies and qualitative specializations that keep pace with development in the sector. medical and research in the world.

In turn, the Dean of the College of Public Health, Dr. Hazem Agha, "We at the college provide all support and assistance to graduates in coordination with the Medical Professions Licensing Department at the Ministry of Health and follow up on the requirements for applying to apply for practicing the profession, as well as facilitating the procedures for joining fellowships in hospitals, and assisting them in specialization support courses to qualify them to apply for the profession practice exam."

For her part, the student Idris indicated that passing the Israeli practice exam was not easy, but with the university’s support and facilitation of matters and conditions and their suitability, she was able to reach her goal and pass the exam, as the cooperation was great in terms of facilitating training matters and developing a good training plan, as she trained 700 hours in a number of Jerusalem hospitals Kalmtlaa and destinations.

New York (AFP) - American journalist E.J. Carroll, who accused Donald Trump of raping her in the 1990s, re-filed a civil lawsuit against the former US president Thursday, thanks to a new New York law protecting victims of sexual assault.

A double lawsuit for rape and defamation by Carroll, 78, against Trump, 76, has been filed in federal civil court in Manhattan since 2019, and each entered sworn testimony in October before a New York judge.

In the libel case, author and former Elle columnist EJ Carroll filed a civil lawsuit against Donald Trump in November 2019. She accused him of defaming her because he called allegations of rape in a New York fitting room in 1995 or 1996 "a lie." Completed in June 2019.

The Republican president, who was in office at the time (2017-2021), replied that he had never met her and that she "didn't like him."

His lawyers claimed he was protected in 2019 thanks to his immunity as President of the United States.

As for the rape charges, Carol was unable to file a formal complaint in 2019 because the alleged facts were outdated.

But on November 24, a new New York state law went into effect that allows victims of sexual assault, for a year, to reactivate potential old complaints and file a civil suit.

The law firm "Kaplan Hecker & Fink", whose services Carroll used and the Manhattan federal judiciary, published several court documents Thursday accusing Trump of "rape" and requesting a civil trial in 2023 in order to obtain damages.

In the introduction to the complaint, which has become accepted today and lists all the facts, Donald Trump is accused of "27 years ago (...) he grabbed Jean Carroll in the luxury goods store Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue in New York, pinned her by his shoulder to the wall of a fitting room and raped her."

Carole remained silent for more than twenty years before telling her story in a book at the end of 2010 with the emergence of the #MeToo movement, which was launched in 2017 to reject violence against women.

"While I respect and admire people who speak out, this case unfortunately constitutes a perversion of the objective of the law, which creates a dangerous precedent and may delegitimize the testimonies of the real victims," Trump's lawyer, Alina Heba, told AFP on Thursday.

In October, the former president called the accusations "a hoax and a lie."

And this new defamation of Trump on October 12 on his website Truth Social, which mocks this alleged rape, also allows Carroll to re-move the defamation part of her legal case against Trump, who is accused this time as a private citizen without presidential immunity.

BEIJING, China (Xinhua) -- Industrial data results showed that China 's used car sector maintained its recovery momentum in July, with a slight increase in sales volume compared to June.

About 1.44 million used cars were traded in July, up 1.88 percent from June despite the relatively traditional off-season for business, according to the China Automobile Dealers Association.

The federation's data showed that used car sales recorded steady growth during the period from April to July.

In the first seven months of this year, about 9.03 million used cars were traded, down 8.74 percent year on year.

In order to facilitate the used car trade as part of the country's efforts to boost consumption, Chinese authorities have directed local governments to scrap policies that impede used car sales across different regions.

A survey of used car dealers showed that sales are likely to continue to rise in August as the effects of bad weather and the emergence of COVID-19 cases subside and related supportive policies come into effect.

Brussels - (AFP) - European Union leaders agreed Thursday night on a "road map" aimed at putting in place measures in the coming weeks to stop rising energy prices.

Although the European bloc wanted, after the arduous negotiations, to appear as a united front, many points still have to be settled, and the negotiations in the coming weeks will be difficult.

"We now have a very good road map," said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, while European Council President Charles Michel spoke of "agreement on a package of measures" that must now be "dealt with carefully."

"Unity and solidarity prevail. An agreement to work on measures to contain energy prices for homes and businesses," Michel wrote on Twitter, without going into further details.

But German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made it clear that if the energy ministers could not agree on a final version, a new summit of heads of state would be needed.

According to French President Emmanuel Macron, the envisaged mechanisms could be implemented "at the end of October or the beginning of November." He said the leaders "sent a very clear signal to the markets about their determination and unity."

According to the conclusions issued at the end of the meeting, the heads of state and government ask the Commission to present them "urgently with concrete decisions" on a package of measures to curb volatile gas prices.

The twenty-seven countries agreed to promote joint gas purchases at the level of the European Union.

It also called on these countries to "accelerate their negotiations" with "reliable" producing countries such as Norway and the United States, in order to "take advantage of the economic weight" of the European Union.

European Union leaders meet Thursday and Friday in Brussels in an attempt to overcome their divisions and reach a common response to the huge rise in energy prices, against the backdrop of Franco-German tension.

The war in Ukraine and the sanctions imposed on Russia shocked the prices of oil, gas and electricity. But Europe has been moving slowly since February due to the sometimes conflicting interests of member states.

However, the situation requires swift action.

Belgian Prime Minister Alexandre de Croo confirmed this week that this summit is "the most important in a long time." He said that if this does not lead to a "clear political signal that we have the will to stop enduring high gas prices", then this will constitute a "failure for Europe".

Thousands of European companies fear for their survival due to competition from the United States and Asia, where prices have remained lower. In Germany and France, thousands of people demonstrated against the high cost of living.

A meeting was held between Macron and Scholz on Thursday afternoon to try to sort out their differences just before the start of the meeting.

Macron stressed upon his arrival in Brussels, "I always wish to preserve European unity and the friendship and alliance between Germany and France as well," stressing that "we have a lot of work ahead of us."

"Both of us work at the national level and I think it is always better to consult and coordinate," he added. "I have always considered it my duty to do everything so that we find paths of agreement between Germany and France, which would then make it possible to build European agreements," the French president added.

Several diplomats expected the discussions to be long between the leaders of states and governments.

Spain's Minister of Environmental Transition, Teresa Ribera, openly criticized the European Commission's work in an interview with Agence France-Presse. "The proposals are still a bit shy and we still lack concrete action on the majority of issues," she said.

She added, "A real effort was made a year ago (...) but it is very unfortunate to see how slow Europe's response to the challenge we face is."

During the recent Prague summit in early October, several leaders attacked the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Kuravici accused her of representing German interests.

Italian Mario Draghi said, according to statements reported to Agence France-Presse, that "seven months of delay is causing us a recession."

However, the President of the European Commission faces divisions among the twenty-seven countries that adopt a different mix of energy sources. Some depend on nuclear power and others on gas or even coal to produce electricity.

These countries are also divided over the issue of capping the price of gas used to produce electricity. Such a mechanism is applied in Spain and Portugal, where it has allowed prices to decline.

And calls for several countries such as France to expand this mechanism, "Iberian" to become at the level of the European Union.

However, Germany opposes this, in addition to several northern countries, including Denmark and the Netherlands, which are reticent about the authorities' interference in the markets. Berlin believes that lowering prices artificially harms the goal of saving energy and pushes for more consumption.

Scholz said Thursday that a cap on gas prices can only succeed through close cooperation with non-EU partners such as South Korea and Japan.

He added, speaking to parliamentarians before the start of the EU summit, that setting a price ceiling "carries the risk that producers will sell their gas elsewhere, and we Europeans will end up with less gas instead of more."

The summit draft results call on the Commission to prepare a proposal on this mechanism.

"The Iberian pattern deserves to be studied," von der Leyen said Wednesday. "Some questions remain, but I don't want to neglect any possibility."

"It is important to move forward more quickly on this front. We should not ask the Commission four times to get a proposal," Teresa Ribera stressed.

Von der Leyen detailed other proposals this week, including organizing gas purchases jointly, new rules in an effort to force gas sharing in Europe to help countries in difficulty, or reforming the gas market index (European Gas Exchange), which is used as a reference in transactions.

A European diplomat said, "There is progress, but without a major breakthrough. The priorities are different. Germany prefers security of supplies because it can afford high prices, but many countries cannot face the cost."

Tokyo - (AFP) - A number of scientists expressed their satisfaction Wednesday that the detailed results of a clinical study on a new drug confirmed its effectiveness in slowing the cognitive decline of patients with neurodegenerative Alzheimer's disease , but also pointed out that it may lead to negative effects.

The full results of this advanced (Phase 3) clinical study of nearly 1,800 subjects followed over 18 months confirmed a 27 percent reduction in cognitive decline in patients treated with lecanemab, from the Japanese pharmaceutical group Esai. (Eisai) and the American "Biogen".

It was previously announced at the end of last September about this percentage, which is considered "statistically significant" according to the two groups.

But the full study, published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, also reported rates of side effects for licanimab, which are sometimes severe and significantly more frequent than the placebo group.

It was found that 17.3% of the patients who received "lecanimab" suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, while the rate was limited to 9% among those who took the placebo.

And 12.6 percent of people who received this experimental drug experienced cerebral edema, compared to just 1.7 percent in the placebo group.

However, the overall death rate was almost the same for the two groups of patients in the study (0.7 percent in those treated with licanimab, and 0.8 percent in those given placebo).

"This is the first drug that offers a real treatment option for people with Alzheimer's disease," said Bart de Strober, director of the Institute of Dementia Research at the British Institute.

"Although the clinical benefits appear to be somewhat limited, they are expected to become more pronounced if the drug is taken for a longer period," added the professor.

Alzheimer's patients suffer from plaques of a protein called amyloid that form around nerve cells and eventually destroy them. Two major proteins, tau and beta-amyloid, build up abnormally in the brain, causing its cells to die and shrink.

One of the most prominent consequences of this is memory loss and the inability to perform daily tasks. This disease is considered one of the most important public health problems, affecting more than 40 million people worldwide.

Licanimab targets deposits of the protein beta-amyloid but only in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, which may limit its use because the disease is often diagnosed late.

Another drug developed by Biogen called Aduhelm, which also targets amyloid plaques, raised a lot of hopes in 2021 by being the first drug approved in the United States against the disease since 2003.

But it also caused controversy, as the US Medicines Agency disagreed with the opinion of an expert panel that considered that the treatment had not been sufficiently proven effective during clinical trials. The agency later restricted its use to people with mild cases of the disease.

Seoul - (AFP) - On Friday, Seoul launched the first self-driving bus line on its roads, as part of an experiment that, according to the engineers who designed the bus, aims to make residents more confident in this type of vehicle.

"These vehicles will shape the future," said Jung Song-gyan, who is in charge of the autonomous vehicle division at the startup "42 Dot," which was acquired by the South Korean "Hyundai Group."

He pointed out in a statement to Agence France-Presse that the bus is somewhat similar to a "Lego game" because it is made of composite parts in order to reduce costs and make its manufacture an easy process.

He stated that the company's goal is to make this technology inexpensive, safer and can be adopted in a large number of types of vehicles, such as trucks.

For now, the new bus will autonomously drive a new 3.4-kilometer route around the center of the South Korean capital, under the supervision of a driver. It takes about 20 minutes to complete the track.

Residents can take the bus from one of the two stations designated for it, after reserving a seat through an application, for free.

Jeong Song-gyan explained that the bus relies on a camera and radar to run, not sensors that are expensive.
During the day of the launch of the bus line, a large number of passers-by seemed amazed by its design, while some of them stopped to take pictures of it and inspect it from the inside, and others started asking questions to the "42 Dot" employees who were present in the place.

"I feel like I'm inside a transport from the future," said Kim Ye Hye-ran, 68, after boarding the bus.

Gaza - "Jerusalem" dot com - The Association of Owners of Oil and Gas Companies in the Gaza Strip announced, on Tuesday, the suspension of protest measures for a week, regarding its refusal to receive quantities of Egyptian gas due to the decision to deduct 4 shekels from profit margins by the Ministry of Finance in the Strip.

The Ministry of Finance denied that any new tax had been imposed.

Strasbourg - (AFP) - A 24-year-old Syrian man who suffers from mental illness stabbed his 57-year-old father to death on Saturday night in Metz, in eastern France , according to identical sources.

"A young man killed his father with a knife, in a somewhat heavy psychological context," the region's governor told AFP, referring to a "family tragedy."

For its part, the prosecution office in charge of the investigation stated that "a stabbing murder took place last night in Metz," explaining that "the investigations are still ongoing."

And police sources indicated that the man "killed his father with a knife" before his "brothers managed to control him."

A translation of "Jerusalem" dot com - The Israeli security and military analyst told the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, Ron Ben-Yishai, that testing Israel's response to the operation that took place yesterday in Jerusalem is more difficult than ever, especially if it is proven that the perpetrator " Lone wolf", an attack that would have dire consequences.

Ben Yishai believes, in an analytical report published on the website of the Hebrew newspaper, that in the event that it is found that the perpetrator works as an activist in a "sleeper cell" serving the "Hamas" movement in the Gaza Strip, or from its leadership abroad, then the cabinet, which will convene, must Today, to consider imposing sanctions on "Hamas" in the Strip.

According to the Israeli shop close to the security services in Tel Aviv, if the operation was carried out individually, the security establishment has realized in recent years that it has little to do other than try to identify some Palestinians before carrying out the attacks because of posts on social networks or by using Other technological intelligence means.

Ben Yishai believed that Israel should immediately prevent further attacks, as well as reprisals by settlers, by saturating the area with military forces and police.

He said, "In the long run, the events in Jenin and Jerusalem have the potential to raise the level of extreme violence, which has been relatively contained in recent months, and which could have led to a real uprising involving crowds of Palestinians, involving Jewish extremists, and now the task will be The main force of the security forces is to prevent such an escalation."

He added, "Today, the Cabinet will convene with its new composition, in which there are not many people with experience, and it consists mainly of ministers with ultra-nationalist views, who can press for radical measures that may fan the flames more, rather than pacify the region, but not from It is expected that a major operation in the Palestinian cities or in the neighborhoods of East Jerusalem will yield important results, and it may only lead to an increase in the fire, and here we mention that in less than two months, the month of Ramadan will begin.

Ben Yishai suggested that Benjamin Netanyahu would come under pressure from the United States, Jordan, and Egypt, not to take drastic measures that would lead to an escalation of violence, especially in Jerusalem.

A press report revealed a big surprise about the possibility of Lionel Messi , the star of Paris Saint-Germain, returning to Barcelona in the future.

According to the newspaper "Sport", young coach Xavi Hernandez asked Juan Laporta, president of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bto return Messi to Barca after the end of his contract with Saint-Germain.

The 35-year-old's contract with the Parisian team expires in the summer of 2023, as Xavi wants to bring him in before the start of the 2023-2024 season.

Xavi believes that Messi's return will contribute to the revival of Barca on the sports and financial levels, as well as the ability of the flea to resolve the differences that arose between him and Barca earlier, to close his Catalan page in the best way before retiring.

The Argentine international left the Camp Nou stadium last year after his contract with Barcelona expired, to join Saint-Germain in a free transfer, after spending most of his career in the Blaugrana shirt.

Although Messi will be 36 years old next summer, Xavi still believes in the player's ability to provide the required addition with the Catalan team.

Kiev - (AFP) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia on Friday of "deliberately" delaying the transit of ships carrying Ukrainian grain, which is a vital supply for many countries in Africa and Asia.

"More than 150 ships are still waiting to fulfill the obligations in the contracts to ship our agricultural products," Zelensky said in a video clip. "It is an artificial wait, the only reason for which Russia is deliberately delaying the transit of ships."

He explained that China, Egypt, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Iraq, Lebanon and the West Maghreb countries are among the countries affected by this delay, which affects "about three million tons of food."

Under the auspices of the United Nations and Turkey, Russia and Ukraine agreed in July to resume Ukrainian grain exports that had been suspended since the start of the war.

However, Russia later criticized this agreement, stressing that the Western sanctions imposed on it prevented the shipment of its exports.

Paris - (AFP) - From low wages to deteriorating working conditions, and from Germany to Niger through the United States, the teaching profession suffers from great difficulties in attracting teachers in a large number of countries in the world, in a phenomenon that has worsened since the Covid-19 epidemic crisis.

A document by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) published in October speaks of a shortage of 69 million teachers worldwide to achieve "universal basic education by 2030".

Eric Charbonnier, an education expert at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, believes, "We can say that the Covid crisis revealed the importance of the teaching profession, and as a result, the issue of the attractiveness of the profession that existed before has gained importance."

"We have 4,000 vacancies for teachers this year in France, which is an increasing number, but the situation is not better anywhere else," he added.

In France, unprecedented recruitment difficulties prompted French Senator Gerard Longuet to extend the deadline for registration in competitions for the start of the 2023 academic year, two weeks in November, until Friday, due to a lack of candidates.

In a report presented in June, the right-winger Longuet spoke at the European level of the "attractiveness of the teaching profession" as "a general problem for countries, regardless of the level of wages".

According to national estimates, there will be a shortage of 25,000 teachers by 2025 in Germany, for example, and thirty thousand in Portugal by 2030.

Eric Charbonnier adds that Germany, Portugal, Sweden and Italy are facing "a large retirement wave, which will exacerbate the problem."

In detail, at the primary school level, sixty percent of teachers are over the age of fifty in Italy. This percentage is 37 percent in Germany, 42 percent in Portugal, 36 percent in Sweden and 23 percent in France, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Various reasons can be pointed out, according to Reggie Malle, professor of educational sciences at the University of Bordeaux, among them "the low level of wages, especially in France, as well as the deterioration of working conditions and legal conditions, in addition to a dimension that has a strong significance that appears clearly, which is the lack of consideration and gratitude."

Malet, a member of the Institut de France Universitaire, told AFP that in a number of countries, particularly in France, a transition has taken place "from a profession with high social added value and prestige, to a form of uncertainty in the required tasks, a loss of meaning and finally a conflict" between school and life.

Other continents suffer from this deficiency as well.

In sub-Saharan Africa, "there is on average one qualified teacher for every 56 pupils at the primary level and one qualified teacher for 55 pupils at the secondary level," Berhane Chaqroun, director of UNESCO's Department of Education Policies and Systems, told AFP.

He added that by 2030, "Chad and Niger will have to double the number of primary school teachers they have."

In this part of the world, he added, the number of teachers being hired is "less than current and projected needs, and an additional 16.5 million teachers must be recruited by 2030".

The United States is experiencing an "unprecedented" crisis, according to Eric Charbonnier. At the end of August, the "Washington Post" newspaper reported a "catastrophic shortage," explaining that the country had "never witnessed such a dangerous situation."

The OECD expert stressed that the teacher shortage is "an issue of concern that must be acted upon" but that it is "not inevitable".

He added that "Finland, South Korea and Ireland are doing well, thanks to policies based on volunteerism, with appreciation of the profession by society."

In France, consultations to increase teachers' salaries began in October, and are supposed to end in late February or early March.

It also works to increase the number of Jews in the city and reduce the number of Palestinians in it. One of the worst practices in this field is that the occupation prevents any restoration of Al-Aqsa Mosque, despite the fall of The stones were removed from its walls and from the old mosque.

Amman - (AFP) - The Jordanian army announced in a statement on Sunday that the Border Guard forces thwarted a drug smuggling operation from Syrian territory at dawn Sunday and seized more than three million Captagon pills and 8,773 palms of hashish.

The statement quoted an official military source in the General Command of the Armed Forces as saying, "The Border Guard forces detected, through observations, an attempt by a group of smugglers to cross the border illegally from Syrian territory to Jordanian territory, and rapid reaction patrols were launched and rules of engagement were applied with direct shooting at them." As a result, a number of them were wounded and the others fled into the Syrian depths."

He added, "After intensifying searches and inspections of the area, 8,773 palms of hashish and three million and 141,000 Captagon pills were found, in addition to 376 Kalashnikov rounds," referring to "the transfer of the seized items to the competent authorities."

And on February 17, the Jordanian army announced that attempts to smuggle drugs across the Syrian-Jordanian border, which extends for about 375 km, a large number of which have been thwarted in recent months, have become an "organization" that uses drones and is protected by armed groups.

The army said at the time that the Jordanian authorities thwarted, within about 45 days at the beginning of the year, the entry of more than 16 million Captagon pills, equivalent to the quantity that was seized throughout the year 2021.

The Kingdom confirms that 85 percent of the drugs seized are intended for smuggling out of Jordan, especially south to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states.

The Captagon industry is not new in the region, and Syria has been the most prominent source of this substance since before the outbreak of the war in 2011. However, the conflict has made its manufacture more popular, used and exported. Captagon pill factories are also active in several areas in neighboring Lebanon.

The Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia, are the main destination for Captagon pills, which is an easy-to-manufacture drug. Classified by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime as a “stimulant amphetamine,” it is usually a mixture of amphetamines, caffeine, and other substances.

RIYADH - (AFP) - Saudi Arabia announced Monday a plan to build a new airport in Riyadh, aiming to spur rapid growth in the capital while furthering the kingdom's ambitious goals in the aviation sector as it seeks to compete with more experienced regional capitals in the field of air transport.

And the airport, which is supposed to accommodate 120 million passengers by 2030 and 185 million passengers by 2050, will bear the name of Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz (86 years), according to his son, the crown prince.

The state-run Saudi Press Agency reported that the airport "will contribute to supporting the Kingdom's plans to make Riyadh among the ten largest city economies in the world, and to keep pace with the continuous growth in the population of the capital, Riyadh, which aims to reach between 15 and 20 million people by 2030."

The city's population is currently less than eight million people.

The kingdom's aviation sector goals, part of the "Vision 2030" reforms launched by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, include increasing annual traffic more than threefold to 330 million passengers by the end of the decade.

Saudi Arabia would also like to attract $100 billion in investment into this sector by 2030, establish a new national carrier, and transport up to five million tons of cargo each year.

The agency said that the new airport will handle up to 3.5 million tons of cargo by 2050, making Riyadh "a gateway to the world, a global destination for transport, trade and tourism, and a bridge linking East and West, which establishes the Kingdom's position as a global logistics hub."

No information was available about the cost of the project, which was designed to cover 57 square kilometers.

King Salman International Airport places "sustainability among its priorities," according to the agency, as it aims to obtain a platinum "LEED" certificate for environmentally friendly projects, and it will be supported by renewable energy resources.

The Kingdom's busiest international airport is currently located in the coastal city of Jeddah on the Red Sea, which is the "gateway to Mecca" for millions of Muslims who perform the Hajj and Umrah rituals.

But officials have tried in recent years to position Riyadh as a competitor to Dubai and Doha.

Moscow - (AFP) - The Russian Emergency Management Department suspects that the massive fire that broke out Thursday night in a shopping center in a suburb of Moscow, resulting in one death, was caused by a "criminal" act, according to Russian news agencies.

And the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations announced Friday that "firefighting teams are struggling to put out a fire on an area of seven thousand square meters," which broke out on Thursday night in a shopping center in a suburb of the capital, Moscow.

However, it did not confirm information reported by the Russian media about the death toll.

The "Mega Khimki" shopping center in the northern suburb of Khimki, seven kilometers from Sheremetyevo International Airport, caught fire.

"Because of the collapse of the roof, the fire immediately spread over a wide area," the ministry said on Instagram, noting the difficulty the firefighting teams were facing at work.

Shortly after that, Russian news agencies quoted unidentified sources in the emergency department as saying that the authorities suspected that the fire was caused by a "criminal" act.

The agency "Interfax" stated that the hypothesis of "deliberate actions, such as a criminal fire, is on the table," while the agency "Sputnik" said that a criminal act is "one of the main explanations" for this fire.

State news agencies said afterwards that the cause of the fire may have been a violation of safety standards.

Videos posted on social media showed a huge fire and people fleeing a building on fire towards a parking lot.

Berlin - (AFP) - The German government is preparing a legal reform to simplify the procedures for obtaining German citizenship, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry announced Friday.

The spokesman said that it should be possible to obtain citizenship after living in Germany for five years, compared to eight years now. And if the foreigner is well integrated, according to his performance at school or at work, then the period can be reduced to three years.

The spokesman added that it would be easier for parents of the generation of migrant workers who arrived in Germany in the 1970s to be naturalized, because "their integration has not been encouraged for many years".

On the other hand, the possibilities of obtaining German citizenship in addition to another nationality will be expanded to include more countries. Currently, many foreigners do not apply for German citizenship because they are forced to give up their original citizenship.

The Interior Ministry will soon present its draft to other ministries, the spokesman noted. Once all the details are settled, the project will be approved by the Council of Ministers.

Since its formation at the end of November 2021, the government of Social Democrat Olaf Scholz, who runs the country with the Green and Liberal parties, has announced its intention to update German citizenship law.

In the coalition contract, the Scholz government proposed granting German citizenship to a child born in Germany of two foreign parents, if one of them had a residence permit for at least five years. This comes while the matter currently applies to those who have had a residence permit for eight years.

Germany wants to attract the skilled foreign workers necessary for its economy in the face of labor shortages, by reducing bureaucratic obstacles.

The first economy in Europe seeks to deal with a population structure dominated by aging in a large part of it, while it lacks workers in the field of health in particular, and also those who are able to lead digital transformations and in the field of energy.

In a document submitted last September, the German government estimated the shortage of skilled workers at 240,000 by 2026.

LOS ANGELES - (AFP) - Twenty percent of new cars sold in California in 2022 will be electric or two-wheel drive vehicles, according to what was announced Friday by the state authorities, which rank first in the US auto market and seek to be at the forefront of transformation. in the field of energy.

And the state authorities announced in August that they had approved a text prohibiting the sale of new cars that run on gasoline or diesel fuel by the year 2035.

"California continues to lead the zero-emissions vehicle revolution with forward-looking policies and investments that encourage innovation," said Governor Gavin Newsom.

And the state's energy authority indicated on Friday that 18.8% of new cars sold during 2022 are electric, plug-in hybrid, or hydrogen-powered. This proportion was only 2% ten years ago.

A third of the cars sold are vehicles manufactured by Tesla, owned by Elon Musk.

California alone is responsible for 40% of sales of this type of car in the United States, while its market share is growing rapidly.

However, electric cars are still more expensive than traditional ones, and only an aid provided by the authorities in the amount of $ 7,500 may enable a person to buy an electric car.
