[00:00:28] Head of the Organization. The radio regulations, referring to
[00:00:32] the reversal of the internet consumption pattern in Iran compared to the world,
[00:00:35] said: Globally, the bulk of users' communication traffic
[00:00:39] is carried by fixed telephone networks and fiber optics,
[00:00:42] while in Iran, we are witnessing the opposite situation.
[00:00:45] Mr. Fattai said in a special news interview program:
[00:00:49] The main burden of the country's communications is concentrated on the mobile network.
[00:00:53] In the world, there is a norm that, for example, 70
[00:00:57] percent of communications are based on fixed lines.
[00:01:10] The lack of proper quality of fixed communication, which is one of the main drivers
[00:01:13] of the fiber project, was definitely
[00:01:17] referred to. Anyway, you have either seen or dealt with people
[00:01:21] who definitely need to have a fiber connection due to their specific usage,
[00:01:24] meaning that, for example, due to the
[00:01:27] distance of the user's home from
[00:01:31] the telecommunication center, if this exceeds a certain limit, that fiber-based connection
[00:01:35] is no longer effective. That's why the user uses mobile capacity.
[00:01:38] Well, mobile, as I mentioned, is
[00:01:41] after all, related to the frequency. This space, after all,
[00:01:45] the country's frequency becomes a problem, and
[00:01:49] mobile network development means the economics of mobile network
[00:01:52] development is not such that you necessarily want to have
[00:01:56] 100% coverage. The
[00:02:02] Minister of Roads and Urban Development, on the sidelines of a visit to the exhibition of rural
[00:02:05] and nomadic capabilities, regarding rural housing, said: Within
[00:02:09] the framework of the Youth Population Law and land transfer schemes,
[00:02:12] so far, 19,000 plots of land have been transferred to
[00:02:16] applicants in the past two years.
[00:02:18] We
[00:02:20] have a track record both in the Youth Population Law
[00:02:24] and in the transfer
[00:02:27] of 99-year supportive lands. In
[00:02:32] the youth population, more than 21,000, of which
[00:02:36] 19,000 were done in these two years, meaning if
[00:02:40] 21,000 plots were delivered, 19,000 of them were in these two years, and this
[00:02:43] number clearly shows that this special attention
[00:02:46] to housing has been given. Another thing
[00:02:50] that we are pursuing, and with the change in policies that are being pursued in the Housing Foundation,
[00:02:54] special attention is being paid to the villagers who
[00:02:57] live in the village. Anyway, the community
[00:03:00] that exists there should have more flexibility in rural development plans
[00:03:03] so that
[00:03:06] villagers, children of villagers, and those who may
[00:03:10] be in big cities and want to return to their villages, this
[00:03:13] reverse migration exists and is included in the plans, and
[00:03:17] this population
[00:03:20] that must have permanent residence there can at least have their problem solved in the plans
[00:03:24] so that they can reside there.
[00:03:27] Ms. Sadegh also said: Currently,
[00:03:29] more than 220,000 kilometers of rural roads
[00:03:33] in the country have been
[00:03:36] asphalted.
[00:03:37] At
[00:03:44] the cabinet meeting, the President presented a report on his trip to
[00:03:48] Turkmenistan. At this meeting, a resolution aiming to
[00:03:51] support executive missions, organize border affairs, and
[00:03:55] service fuel stations was approved.
[00:03:57] The
[00:04:03] Atomic Energy Organization and the Ministry of Health, by signing an agreement,
[00:04:07] put the use of nuclear technology for controlling Aedes mosquitoes
[00:04:10] and combating dengue fever on their agenda.
[00:04:14] The
[00:04:18] population and housing census will begin virtually on
[00:04:22] October 17th and in-person from early November. This
[00:04:26] census, after 10 years, will be conducted for the first time by the method of
[00:04:29] registration without a basis.
[00:04:31] The
[00:04:33] border guard commander of FARAJA announced that in the past 7 months,
[00:04:37] in addition to discovering drugs, border guards have prevented the entry
[00:04:41] of over 54,000 weapons and ammunition into the country.
[00:04:44] The
[00:04:45] کردند.
[00:04:50] CEO of the National Post Company announced the unveiling of the third generation of standard addresses
[00:04:54] based on geocoding (latitude and longitude) in
[00:04:58] 20 cities and villages of the country.
[00:05:00] The
[00:05:04] first electronic collateral was registered in Bandar Abbas prosecutor's office
[00:05:07] without the presence of the pledgor and incidental costs in less than 2 minutes.
[00:05:11] We
[00:06:33] must avoid this and stand strong together for a strong Iran, God willing. The animosity of American officials
[00:06:37] has even extended to Iran's civilization and history.
[00:06:40] While
[00:07:04] the United States of America and the American criminals only
[00:07:08] have 250 years of service. The heroic people of Iran
[00:07:12] give their lives, but they don't give their land.
[00:07:15] Are you willing to compromise your country's land for
[00:07:19] economic pressures? No,
[00:07:22] not at all. Our land is more important than food, clothing,
[00:07:26] and, I would say, the security
[00:07:29] of our country is above everything else. Above
[00:07:33] anything, even my life. My life is sacrificed
[00:07:35] for the country.
[00:08:13] The newly arrived pistachio growers in Boshruyeh are still
[00:08:16] busy harvesting green gold.
[00:08:19] Mashallah, this year
[00:08:21] has a lot of yield.
[00:08:23] It's
[00:08:27] been a week since we started harvesting pistachios in Boshruyeh orchards.
[00:08:31] They come from 5 am until 12 pm.
[00:08:34] The blessing of the hands of 1638
[00:08:37] hard-working Boshruyeh orchard owners
[00:08:40] and the production of quality pistachios have brought
[00:08:44] smiles to the faces of the experienced
[00:08:47] farmers of this region.
[00:08:48] We
[00:08:51] have pistachios, and thank God, the crop is good and desirable,
[00:08:55] better than last year. This orchard, its pistachios are
[00:08:58] Ahmad's pistachios and are very good. They give
[00:09:01] good yield. It's fertile. The climate
[00:09:04] itself has made the taste of Boshruyeh pistachios very different from outside pistachios.
[00:09:08] Pistachios that after harvest
[00:09:12] are sent for processing to 14
[00:09:15] Boshruyeh pistachio processing terminals. Boshruyeh county,
[00:09:17] with 820 hectares
[00:09:20] of pistachio orchards,
[00:09:23] is one of the leading counties in the production of this product,
[00:09:27] with 7,000 hectares of these being fertile
[00:09:30] and 1,200 hectares non-fertile.
[00:09:34] The
[00:09:36] harvest amount is lower compared to last year, but the quality
[00:09:40] is very good, thank God. Our processing
[00:09:43] capacity is 1300 tons per year.
[00:09:47] In terms of
[00:09:49] quality, the crop is much better than last year,
[00:09:53] and its ounce and size are larger. Fandoghi, Ahmad
[00:09:57] Aghaei, Badami, Kalleh Ghouchi, white,
[00:10:00] and Akbari are among the types of Boshruyeh pistachios.
[00:10:03] It is predicted that this year, more than
[00:10:06] 455 tons of dry pistachios
[00:10:10] will be harvested from Boshruyeh orchards and sent to the market.
[00:10:13] Hassani Pourghan, IRIB News Agency, Boshruyeh.
[00:10:17] Stay with us.
[00:10:20] Beirut, Lebanon.
[00:10:46] Beirut,
[00:10:47] Lebanon.
[00:10:53] Beirut might seem like a strange place to start a story about
[00:10:57] Gaza. But it's my home, and it's not far from where my friend Raed is under
[00:11:01] siege and trying to survive a genocide.
[00:11:05] I came to Lebanon 40 years ago to become a journalist.
[00:11:07] My first big story was in 1982,
[00:11:11] at the time of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. It
[00:11:15] happened as Israel was trying to suppress
[00:11:18] Palestinian movements. Now
[00:11:21] I am watching the Israeli war in Gaza, witnessing this genocide
[00:11:25] that is becoming more and more evident
[00:11:28] every day. This is beyond endurance.
[00:11:32] It's not like
[00:11:35] anything I've seen before. Like all other foreign journalists,
[00:11:39] I cannot bear
[00:11:42] to see these images. I cannot help and I cannot remain silent.
[00:11:46] Among all the people of Gaza, the first
[00:11:49] person who comes to my mind is my friend Raed.
[00:11:53] We worked together for 20 years, but in the week of October,
[00:11:57] Raed's phone went silent. Not knowing if he was still alive
[00:12:00] was killing me. I
[00:12:04] am a photojournalist and filmmaker.
[00:12:20] For decades, I covered the news in Gaza.
[00:12:23] How are you,
[00:12:25] my good friend? How are
[00:12:29] you?
[00:12:30] Raed
[00:12:37] is a coordinator, and his job is to help foreign journalists
[00:12:40] like me.
[00:12:41] We
[00:12:44] started our collaboration when the liberation of Gaza seemed
[00:12:48] near.
[00:12:49] Raed
[00:13:12] is much more than a driver. He was my eyes
[00:13:15] and ears in Gaza. He helped me many times.
[00:13:19] Now I have to do something for him. I even miss his bizarre
[00:13:23] sense of humor. Do you want us to film you?
[00:13:26] Oh my God, you want to teach me this?
[00:13:30] You want to teach me to be your cameraman?
[00:13:33] If I become a cameraman, it would be great.
[00:13:37] When you are tired, I will film.
[00:13:40] In
[00:13:43] 2006, our first documentary was supposed to be a secret narrative
[00:13:46] about news coverage. But when Israeli artillery
[00:13:50] killed 19 members of Raed's family in their hometown and in their
[00:13:53] home while they were sleeping, this
[00:13:56] narrative turned into an account of a massacre.
[00:13:59] What happened? Raed, I don't know.
[00:14:03] I only saw the children who were killed. I didn't understand anything else.
[00:14:06] I saw children who were two years old or twenty years old, torn
[00:14:10] to pieces. Why?
[00:14:13] I don't understand anymore. Filming Raed's grief that day
[00:14:17] was the hardest thing I had ever done. Israel
[00:14:21] called it a technical error. I had
[00:14:25] no idea that this was just the beginning of documenting his
[00:14:29] and Gaza's suffering.
[00:14:30] Raed
[00:14:37] moved his family to another house to rebuild that one,
[00:14:40] and to get away from some of his bitter past memories.
[00:14:44] But two years later, in 2009, Israel attacked Gaza
[00:14:48] again and destroyed everything he had built. They destroyed everything
[00:14:51] we had in this world. We had nothing left.
[00:14:55] Nothing.
[00:14:56] My
[00:15:02] dear, come on.
[00:15:04] Let's fix this with a piece of wood so we can sit
[00:15:08] on it. Come on.
[00:15:29] After the renewed attack on his home, Raed rebuilt
[00:15:31] it for the second time. That same year, his wife, Ehteram,
[00:15:35] gave birth to their youngest son,
[00:15:37] named Majdi. When his son was born, he was the happiest
[00:15:41] I had ever seen him.
[00:15:43] Over
[00:15:45] the years, I watched Majdi grow and become a confident,
[00:15:49] rebellious, and lovable child.
[00:15:52] He was the apple of his father's eye. Raed
[00:15:56] and I made many stories
[00:16:03] about Gaza. And along the way, an unbreakable
[00:16:11] friendship was formed. Gaza
[00:16:14] Strip, January
[00:16:17] 2024. Six months after the start of this war,
[00:16:20] I had not heard anything about Raed. After October 7, 2023,
[00:16:24] every morning I went straight to the news and searched for Raed's fate,
[00:16:28] but nothing.
[00:16:31] I have been teaching
[00:16:33] journalism at the American University
[00:16:36] of Beirut for the past 10 years. Hassan Harfoush
[00:16:39] was one of my students,
[00:16:40] and now he is one of the senior
[00:16:48] field producers in Lebanon, like Raed. His
[00:16:52] job is also to support foreign journalists.
[00:16:55] Just like Raed, Hassan was forced to evacuate his home
[00:16:59] when Israel began bombing Lebanon in September
[00:17:03] 2024. It's
[00:17:06] sad. My best friend
[00:17:09] lost his home. What people don't understand is that you don't just lose
[00:17:12] your home and memories; you lose everything that is in that home.
[00:17:15] Everything. He didn't even have clothes. I gave him shoes and some things.
[00:17:19] Nothing was left for him. Nothing. Here in
[00:17:22] Lebanon, some villages have been completely destroyed, and more than a
[00:17:25] million people, including Hassan, have been forced to flee their homes.
[00:17:29] When
[00:17:31] everything calms down,
[00:17:39] I will definitely go back. This is very bad and it affects us, but the people
[00:17:43] of Gaza are experiencing even worse.
[00:17:47] When you cut off water and food from people
[00:17:51] and kill children and do all these things, it makes no sense.
[00:17:54] This is no longer war.
[00:17:57] But
[00:18:00] even when Lebanon was under bombardment, I was worried about Raed.
[00:18:03] Finally,
[00:18:08] a lot of news was coming from Gaza. After months
[00:18:11] of silence, I received a message from Raed. He said
[00:18:15] that when the war started, he guided his family south. First, they went
[00:18:18] to Jabalia camp and then to Khan Yunis. As
[00:18:22] a result of Israeli airstrikes, many members of his family were killed.
[00:18:26] Thank God, we are still alive. They bombed only a few
[00:18:30] meters away from us. Thank God, we are still alive.
[00:18:33] The situation is terrible. There is no safe place
[00:18:37] to go. It's a truly
[00:18:39] difficult situation.
[00:18:44] They are sleeping on wet mattresses in torn
[00:18:46] tents. I clung to every hope to get a tent for his family.
[00:18:50] But I couldn't even do that.
[00:18:54] George, is your friend from the NGOs
[00:18:58] still around? We need clothes and tents.
[00:19:02] Anything to cover us from the rain and cold.
[00:19:05] Our tents and clothes are all
[00:19:09] torn and in bad shape. It has also started raining.
[00:19:12] We are near the sea. The cold is killing
[00:19:15] us.
[00:19:23] My old friend, Aline Manoukian, was a photojournalist
[00:19:26] during the Lebanese civil wars. Now, she
[00:19:30] is the editor of an international news agency, and she spends every day
[00:19:34] sifting through news photos and genocide photos. Do
[00:19:38] you have any news about Raed? I wanted to tell
[00:19:41] you. Yes.
[00:19:44] Well.
[00:19:46] Jo, what
[00:19:48] is it?
[00:19:50] Come on, what is it? Is he
[00:19:52] alive?
[00:20:02] What happened, George?
[00:20:05] Come on, tell me, is he alive?
[00:20:37] I saw the child. Yes, this is normal life in Gaza.
[00:20:40] We, who cover the news in Lebanon, with French children who are having
[00:20:44] fun and carefree, well, I know they come here
[00:20:47] and go to the first cafe with their friends for vacation,
[00:20:51] but here another war starts. We are covering our own war.
[00:20:54] They are the people you know, so there is no need to worry.
[00:20:58] Well,
[00:21:00] you know the situation
[00:21:02] is like this now. Yes.
[00:21:05] Yes,
[00:21:09] it's a lot of suffering. I know. You can't even digest it. Yes,
[00:21:13] it's impossible.
[00:21:18] And it's strange that
[00:21:20] we see all of this every day, and you see it every day,
[00:21:24] and you can't do anything. Nothing. I know what you tell them
[00:21:28] on the phone. I'm sorry this happened.
[00:21:31] I wish I could. What do you say?
[00:21:34] I don't say that. I know, because it's stupid.
[00:21:37] It has no meaning. It's meaningless. Yes,
[00:21:40] I understand. I know
[00:21:42] what you mean.
[00:21:52] That's what people say, that they killed many women
[00:21:56] and children, as if men are worthless.
[00:21:58] I
[00:22:03] know Aline is traumatized. She sees photos of death
[00:22:06] and destruction in Gaza every day.
[00:22:10] People run to get food, but they are shot,
[00:22:13] and this is the worst thing I have ever seen. But it
[00:22:17] can still get worse. This is something that is completely
[00:22:21] incomprehensible to humans. You know, usually when someone
[00:22:25] is injured and their body is still
[00:22:28] warm, they don't feel their wound. They don't realize
[00:22:31] the injury and the wound. When the injury cools down, the pain
[00:22:35] slowly begins. There is a moment of calm,
[00:22:38] as if only then do we start
[00:22:41] feeling the blows. We are mostly in denial.
[00:22:45] I know this is my survival mechanism, but
[00:22:48] when you calm down, you start feeling
[00:22:52] the blow.
[00:22:53] I know.
[00:22:58] Yes.
[00:23:04] Oh my God. They said the ceasefire was
[00:23:08] from Sunday. But on that Sunday, 81 people were killed.
[00:23:11] The
[00:23:15] ceasefire in January 2025 gave hope that
[00:23:18] the war might end. With the help of our Gaza cameraman,
[00:23:22] we filmed Raed's and his son's journey north.
[00:23:25] Returning to their home in Beit Hanoun, instead of documenting
[00:23:29] the end of the war, this was another chapter, and
[00:23:32] Raed was trying to survive. In the
[00:23:36] south, Raed's back was injured by shrapnel. The doctor
[00:23:40] removed the shrapnel without anesthesia, and he operated on the hospital floor
[00:23:44] because there was no bed, and the situation was very
[00:23:47] terrible.
[00:24:09] We need to go home, whether today or tomorrow. I need to
[00:24:13] set up a tent and build a toilet. I know there's a lot of work
[00:24:16] to do. God will help us. You know what I mean?
[00:24:20] Bend
[00:24:26] it a little more. One more time. More.
[00:24:29] Yes,
[00:24:31] that's it.
[00:24:34] Drive behind me.
[00:24:47] My daughters, my wife, my other son, my grandchildren
[00:24:51] walked along the seaside. The road to
[00:24:54] Beit Hanoun is 30
[00:24:55] kilometers.
[00:25:04] We are at the checkpoint now. We have two more days to go.
[00:25:07] Don't sleep there. The little ones
[00:25:11] will freeze from the cold.
[00:25:11] He
[00:25:18] wanted.
[00:25:31] When Raed arrived home, he saw that everything he had was destroyed.
[00:25:34] This was the third time he had lost everything
[00:25:38] in the Israeli war.
[00:25:58] After two months of sleeping on the rubble, the ceasefire collapsed.
[00:26:05] The war started, and Raed and his family had to flee again.
[00:26:09] I don't know where to go. Everyone
[00:26:13] left. We are stuck here.
[00:26:16] We don't know what is happening. It's really
[00:26:20] difficult.
[00:26:24] For more than a year, I watched the genocide. I couldn't
[00:26:27] do anything. But this time, I could help. One
[00:26:31] of my friends had an empty house in Gaza and generously
[00:26:35] allowed Raed and 50 of his relatives to take
[00:26:38] refuge there. But there was little food and water
[00:26:42] there.
[00:26:46] What can we cook today? Majed found some lentils. Yes.
[00:26:50] Good. We'll sort everything out. How much should I pay for the lentils?
[00:26:54] 150 shekels. For lentils?
[00:26:57] We bought the lentils at the price of lamb that we used to buy.
[00:27:00] This
[00:27:13] bowl of soup is the only food for the family
[00:27:16] for days.
[00:27:19] It's delicious. It's all for
[00:27:21] you.
[00:27:24] In a moment, something
[00:27:26] happened. Water,
[00:27:30] come.
[00:27:34] Majed, come. This seemed like a miracle, but this
[00:27:38] water was too salty
[00:27:40] to drink.
[00:27:46] What is it, darling? Fill this. It's
[00:27:49] cut off. Are you kidding? Be careful
[00:27:53] with Grandpa's head. It's cut off again.
[00:27:57] He's sick again. It's because he's
[00:28:00] not moving. Let me see what's bothering him. The problem is not
[00:28:03] just food and water. Due to the Israeli siege,
[00:28:07] there are no medicines, and Raed's mother and
[00:28:11] his brother Mohammad suffer from severe diabetes and
[00:28:14] mental disability.
[00:28:43] How are you, Raed? How are
[00:28:46] you, George? Thank God, you look good.
[00:28:50] You seem cheerful. I missed you so much.
[00:28:54] Tell me how your family is doing. I think about you every
[00:28:57] day. Tell me that your whole family is with you.
[00:29:01] Thank God, they are still alive in this situation.
[00:29:04] What a life situation. The conditions are absolutely
[00:29:07] terrible. We are very hungry. I don't know what
[00:29:11] to say. There is no security either.
[00:29:15] Nothing. There is absolutely
[00:29:18] nothing. What is Majdi doing? Majdi
[00:29:22] is outside now. He's constantly fighting with people. Let me call him.
[00:29:26] Come. I'll tell him now.
[00:29:28] Come. Majdi, Majdi,
[00:29:32] come. Majdi, come
[00:29:36] here. Come
[00:29:39] now. The military
[00:29:41] son.
[00:29:45] An hour and a half ago, he was fighting with some people.
[00:29:48] Yes.
[00:29:51] Yes, that's him. Yes.
[00:29:55] How are you? How are you, Majdi?
[00:29:58] Majdi, Majdi, I'm so happy to see you. How old
[00:30:02] are you now? He's 16.
[00:30:06] Wow. That's great.
[00:30:09] Yes. We are all very
[00:30:13] hungry now. The main problem is food. When I went to
[00:30:16] the hospital, I didn't see any doctors or nurses.
[00:30:19] You know, they just cleaned
[00:30:22] the wound and the blood.
[00:30:25] Raed, I don't know what to
[00:30:28] say. We are so tired now.
[00:30:33] I'm also very tired. I don't know what
[00:30:36] to do anymore. It's a very difficult situation.
[00:30:39] I'm really sorry.
[00:30:43] Thank God I saw you. I'm so happy.
[00:30:46] I'm so happy because I missed you so much. You understand?
[00:30:50] I really missed you. We also missed you.
[00:30:54] You know, I always think about you. Thank God I saw you.
[00:30:57] I'm genuinely happy.
