Paris Saint-Germain secured a significant victory against SCO Angers 3-0 on Saturday, moving closer to the league title. The French capital club is now preparing for the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich on Tuesday. However, the participation of key players, including Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Hernandez, and Fabian Ruiz, remains uncertain after they left the field prematurely during Saturday's match. Hakimi, who started as captain, exited at halftime after experiencing discomfort following a 30-meter sprint in the 35th minute. He discussed his condition with the Parisian staff before being substituted, followed by Ruiz and Hernandez. During the post-match press conference, coach Luis Enrique was questioned about Hakimi's and his teammates' health but chose to be evasive. He stated, "This is not the time to give information to Bayern. Everyone is ready. Everything is fine. No worries... There was a bit of everything. But it must be said, the semi-final against Bayern has begun: I am not giving information... It became a match without history because we did our job well. The sun, the upcoming Bayern match, it's the typical match where you can have problems. But there weren't any, and that shows we are ready to play the semi-final." Despite Enrique's reluctance to provide details, the manner of Hakimi's substitution, approximately ten minutes after the discomfort appeared, and the calm demeanor of the Parisian staff during the changes, suggest that the situation

The introduction of "Free Max" has surprised the Moroccan telecom market. This offer, providing unlimited mobile internet in 135 countries including Morocco, marks a new competitive phase, according to IT and telecom expert Khalid Ziani. While technologically unchanged, Ziani states it represents a "true revolution" commercially, particularly concerning data roaming. Previously, travelers to Morocco typically deactivated mobile data, purchased a local SIM, and subscribed to limited-duration and volume top-ups. Free Max disrupts this by allowing subscribers to use their plan without changing numbers, duration constraints, or volume limits. Ziani estimates that out of 6 million French visitors to Morocco annually, approximately one-third, or 1.5 to 2 million people, could become Free customers. This shift challenges the economic model of Moroccan operators, for whom roaming has been a significant revenue source. Ziani describes roaming as a "cash cow" for Moroccan operators, noting their historical reluctance to enter international roaming agreements, unlike countries such as Tunisia or Senegal. He believes this "protected territory" is now open. An agreement between Free and the three Moroccan operators involves wholesale billing for data consumption, making roaming significantly cheaper. Ziani suggests this could lead to a potential 20% loss in total roaming revenue from Free customers upon launch. He anticipates a domino effect, with other French and international operators
Must ReadGhizlane Mamouni, a lawyer and president of the Kif Mama Kif Baba association, highlights that official statistics on marriage and divorce in Morocco, while showing a decline in marriage and an increase in divorce, do not fully capture the country's evolving societal realities. She criticizes the absence of data on children born out of wedlock and single mothers, viewing this as a deliberate omission rather than an oversight. Mamouni argues that the term "the family" in the singular is outdated, advocating for an understanding of "families" to include single-parent households, single mothers, and unrecognized unions. She interprets the growing disinterest in marriage as a significant social signal, suggesting that the institution of marriage, as currently structured, no longer suits many individuals. Mamouni points to legal inequalities within marriage concerning guardianship, property division, polygamy, and inheritance, stating that women should not be expected to enter a legal framework that exposes them without providing protection. She also emphasizes the economic vulnerability of women, citing a 19% activity rate, which makes it difficult for them to leave conflictual or violent marriages. Mamouni views female celibacy not as a social anomaly but as a choice for autonomy, particularly for educated and independent women. She also welcomes the increase in divorces, especially when they allow individuals to escape violence or loneliness, attributing this partly to the 2004

The Mohammed VI University Hospital in Rabat, part of the Mohammed VI Foundation for Sciences and Health, has deployed PET-MRI technology. This system, developed by United Imaging, combines metabolic imaging from Positron Emission Tomography PET with high-precision morphological imaging from Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI into a single examination. This "one-stop shop" approach simplifies the patient's journey by centralizing both modalities on one platform, reducing appointment times, and improving the clarity of results for medical teams. The technology has numerous clinical applications, including the diagnosis and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, certain cancers breast, prostate, lymphomas, pediatric indications, autoimmune pathologies, and cardiovascular diseases. Professor Imad Ghfir notes that this technology allows for a more detailed exploration of lesions, more rigorous disease staging, and more relevant therapeutic strategies, positioning Morocco as an emerging hub for medical innovation, training, and research. Professor Nabil Moatassim Billah highlights that combining these imaging modalities enhances diagnostic precision while reducing patient radiation exposure. Adil Mesfioui emphasizes that PET-MRI improves the patient care pathway and the quality of medical procedures. This initiative marks Morocco's integration of advanced equipment into its healthcare system, reflecting a broader transformation driven by innovation and the pursuit

Driss Lachgar, First Secretary of the Socialist Union of Popular Forces USFP, delivered a political address in Marrakech, emphasizing the need for profound electoral reforms and territorial justice. Ahead of the party's national congress, Lachgar stressed the importance of reforming political practices and governance mechanisms. He explained that preparations for the national congress involve extensive organizational mobilization, including provincial congresses, to renew party structures and foster debate on national issues. These meetings occurred during a challenging period for political action, yet the party maintained its focus on "territorial justice" and electoral system reform. Discussions highlighted the need to combat electoral corruption and ensure equal opportunities for political actors, aiming for elections that accurately reflect citizens' will. Lachgar noted that the recent Royal Speech outlined two major directives: electoral system reform and anti-corruption efforts, alongside strengthening territorial justice for balanced development. He mentioned that the Ministry of Interior has consulted with political forces on electoral reform, revealing both convergences and divergences. The USFP has clearly stated its positions, supporting some proposals and rejecting others deemed contrary to democratic reform. Lachgar insisted on strengthening anti-electoral corruption measures, including prohibiting candidates involved in illegal practices to restore public trust.
