[00:00:22] Hello to you, esteemed viewers of the 6 PM news
[00:00:25] . The President, in a message on social media, emphasized that the public resources
[00:00:29] of the country belong to all
[00:00:32] people. However, in the current difficult situation, justice
[00:00:36] requires that the government's attention be focused more than ever on disadvantaged,
[00:00:40] low-income, and vulnerable households. Mr. Pezeshkian, emphasizing
[00:00:43] that the government's priority should be to support individuals who have greater needs
[00:00:46] in their daily lives, stated that no one
[00:00:50] should be left alone in meeting their basic
[00:00:53] life needs.
[00:00:57] The Minister of Interior, in a meeting of governors and mayors of metropolitan areas
[00:01:01] and provincial capitals, which was held with the presence of the President, emphasized the government's special
[00:01:05] attention to providing essential goods
[00:01:08] and announced the implementation of a direct supply plan for goods
[00:01:11] in 1736 markets under the supervision
[00:01:14] of municipalities.
[00:01:15] داد.
[00:01:19] It was announced to all municipalities to do several important things.
[00:01:22] One is that they should not
[00:01:26] collect rent for stalls until the end of the year.
[00:01:29] And that percentage
[00:01:32] that, in any case, the fields
[00:01:35] or markets for the municipality
[00:01:39] and that was based on approvals and laws
[00:01:42] and regulations, they should not take those, they should eliminate
[00:01:46] intermediaries. For example, in cities near
[00:01:49] border areas, they directly supplied
[00:01:52] the necessary goods
[00:01:56] from border markets, which in total,
[00:02:00] we saw a 5 to 40 percent price reduction
[00:02:04] compared to other markets
[00:02:07] in the city. During this past
[00:02:11] month, approximately 134 new
[00:02:15] markets were opened.

[00:02:21] Members of the Tehran City Council, in 44 sessions
[00:02:24] of this council, discussed the route of Tehran's metro buses
[00:02:28] and the implementation of the plan by the Tehran Municipality.
[00:02:31] They
[00:02:33] said that
[00:02:36] our metro buses will not have any problem passing through the squares
[00:02:39] of the capital. The head of the Tehran City Council said in today's
[00:02:43] city council meeting that the capital's three-cabin buses
[00:02:46] will transport Tehran citizens on the east-west route
[00:02:50] and vice versa. It has three axles
[00:02:54] and can easily turn in squares
[00:02:57] and do its job.
[00:03:01] The path chosen for it, as I said, is a direct
[00:03:05] path. Criticism of the handover of artificial
[00:03:08] turf fields to contractors was another محور of today's
[00:03:12] city council meeting. The spokesperson of the city council also, in this meeting, by
[00:03:15] referring to the zero inflation plan, considered supporting the people as a prerequisite
[00:03:19] for the successful implementation of this plan. Our
[00:03:22] duty is to support every effort, every breath,
[00:03:26] every step, everything that causes this resistance
[00:03:30] of the people. We in the council will definitely support it.
[00:03:33] Etka stores, affiliated with the Ministry of Defense, said a few days ago that we want
[00:03:37] to implement another plan. This is a very good thing, and we will
[00:03:40] help, God willing. Mehdi Fizabadi, Voice and Vision News Agency.

[00:04:06] The village of 10 Sahra, Khanoom Mirza County,
[00:04:08] Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari. Today, we also have a new beginning
[00:04:12] in a school where we are going to spend
[00:04:15] many of our teenage days. A new
[00:04:18] beginning for students who, from today, began their studies
[00:04:22] in the 302nd Barakat school. We thank
[00:04:26] the officials for building this new school. It is a very large school.
[00:04:30] Each grade has two classes. We promise to use this school
[00:04:34] in the best way. This school was put into operation
[00:04:37] in a session with the presence of the Minister of Education and the Head
[00:04:41] of the Executive Headquarters of Imam's Order. The Headquarters
[00:04:45] in the field of hardware has, thank God,
[00:04:47] invested well, and also in the field
[00:04:51] of quality improvement, in the last two years,
[00:04:55] many extraordinarily valuable projects, in my opinion, in
[00:04:58] have been provided to students.

[00:06:02] In the latest attack by the Zionist regime on Gaza, a
[00:06:05] car in the Talalhawa neighborhood in Gaza City and a tent
[00:06:08] for displaced people in the Nuseirat refugee camp were targeted by an
[00:06:11] air strike. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that since
[00:06:15] this morning, four Palestinians have been martyred and 38 people
[00:06:19] have been injured. The government media office in Gaza also warned
[00:06:23] that the Zionist regime violated the Gaza ceasefire 753 times
[00:06:27] last month. According to this report,
[00:06:30] the Zionist regime had 24 aerial or artillery attacks on Gaza daily,
[00:06:34] resulting in the martyrdom of 145
[00:06:37] Palestinians, including 21 children, and the injury
[00:06:40] of 672 people.

[00:06:46] The hardworking women of Turbat Heydariyeh, who these days are making
[00:06:50] great efforts in harvesting red gold,
[00:06:53] are plucking saffron flowers on the sidelines of the revolutionary
[00:06:57] gatherings of the nights of resistance so that economic activity
[00:07:00] does not prevent their presence in the street trenches.

[00:07:05] November in Khorasan is the season for harvesting
[00:07:09] saffron flowers, a product in which women
[00:07:12] play an important role in its harvesting and processing.
[00:07:16] And now, the intimate atmosphere of the nightly gatherings
[00:07:19] of Turbat Heydariyeh is filled with the delightful
[00:07:22] scent of saffron flowers, and the hardworking
[00:07:25] saffron women of the world's most saffron city, who these
[00:07:29] nights have given another meaning to the word
[00:07:32] effort.
[00:07:38] May they be blind, God willing, so they can see that we are both waging jihad and doing our work.

[00:08:46] The collection of books "My Hero" topped
[00:08:49] the list of popular book-reading campaigns. Maryam
[00:08:53] Chehraghani, an activist in the field of media and books, referring to the audience's reception
[00:08:57] of this collection, said: "Books with themes of Sacred Defense, literature, and
[00:09:00] memoir writing were among the works of interest to the audience."

[00:09:51] Thank you very much for being with us in this news section.
[00:10:15] God only,
[00:10:16] my brother.
[00:10:49] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Greetings to you, dear viewers of the Economic Evening News.
[00:10:53] We present to you one of the priority issues in the 14th government, the issue
[00:10:57] of delegating authority to governors. Dr. Pezeshkian, the President,
[00:11:00] in various meetings, including meetings with governors and other
[00:11:04] officials of the country, has focused on this issue
[00:11:08] and demanded that decisions made for the provinces
[00:11:11] should be centered around the governors themselves
[00:11:15] and provincial officials. But have
[00:11:19] these authorities given to the provinces and governors been commensurate
[00:11:23] with the facilities, budget, and credit
[00:11:25] also given or not? This is an issue that is referred to in paragraph P of Article 17 of the Seventh Development Plan
[00:11:29] under the title of a new income
[00:11:32] and expenditure system that the provinces should have
[00:11:35] and based on which there should be credit
[00:11:39] and expenditure. In relation to the implementation
[00:11:43] of this paragraph of the Seventh Development Plan, and also
[00:11:46] the President's demand for the implementation of delegation of authority to governors
[00:11:50] and its results, I will speak with Mr. Dr. Parsa, Head of Provincial Budget
[00:11:54] Affairs of the organization. Welcome, Dr. We are at your service.
[00:11:58] Please. Thank you very much. Thank you, Dr. First, please
[00:12:01] tell us what this issue of delegating authority
[00:12:05] that has now been raised in our political literature and that the President
[00:12:08] has also raised, and of course governors also talk about
[00:12:12] in various meetings, means. What kind of authorities are going to be given to the provinces?
[00:12:15] You see, one of the dominant trends in development
[00:12:19] in all countries in the world is the transition
[00:12:22] from centralized bureaucratic systems to
[00:12:26] decentralization. Yes, by decentralizing
[00:12:30] the duties, authorities, responsibilities,
[00:12:33] and accountability of central authorities
[00:12:37] and transferring them to
[00:12:41] Paragraph P of Article 17, we have this title, the new income
[00:12:45] and expenditure system of provinces. This is the general dominant trend
[00:12:49] and this is the rightful demand of the President
[00:12:52] that we come and increase
[00:12:55] the authorities, credits,
[00:12:58] responsibility, and accountability
[00:13:00] of governors and provincial
[00:13:03] institutions to create a new administrative
[00:13:07] and executive environment in the country so that each province can benefit
[00:13:11] from providing the best performance primarily
[00:13:14] for its own province, and
[00:13:17] this spillover
[00:13:19] of provincial resources will come and support
[00:13:23] national affairs in the country's treasury. Meaning,
[00:13:27] you see, if we consider the province now,
[00:13:30] in the provinces, governors and provincial managers make some
[00:13:33] decisions, they have some national projects that they are implementing, they have
[00:13:37] some provincial projects that they are implementing, there are some general departments
[00:13:41] that are working in the provinces and cities. What kind of
[00:13:44] authorities are going to be given to the provinces and how will they be accountable
[00:13:47] in that regard? You see, currently, our country is managed
[00:13:51] with a very high degree of centralization. More than 85
[00:13:55] percent of the country's development authorities are almost
[00:13:59] managed and planned nationally and centrally.
[00:14:02] Something around 15 percent is provincial in terms of implementation
[00:14:06] and allocation. This means that our provincial
[00:14:09] authorities do not have the necessary
[00:14:13] authorities and credits to manage the country optimally.
[00:14:15] What happened
[00:14:19] in our country's administration from the beginning is that we did not
[00:14:22] observe a principle
[00:14:25] in the division of labor between national and provincial tasks.
[00:14:28] In all countries, policymaking, standardization,
[00:14:32] supreme oversight, and rule-making are all
[00:14:36] national. But implementation
[00:14:39] is based on decentralization and implementation
[00:14:42] by provincial authorities, except in cases
[00:14:45] where it disrupts the unity of the territory,
[00:14:49] involves inter-provincial issues,
[00:14:52] and issues of conflict
[00:14:55] between different provinces, large-scale
[00:14:58] inter-provincial projects, or
[00:15:02] complex and time-consuming and costly technical
[00:15:05] projects. Otherwise, all other development work in the country,
[00:15:08] like in all countries, should be delegated
[00:15:12] to our provinces. This is something that has not happened
[00:15:15] in our country. Planning and implementation are centralized
[00:15:19] even for small-scale provincial projects. All
[00:15:23] of these are done centrally in the country. For example, even in the area of
[00:15:27] education, whose scale and all its work
[00:15:30] and what is done is for our provincial and local schools, we also do
[00:15:34] this centrally. In other words,
[00:15:36] there is a mixing of duties and national and provincial responsibilities.
[00:15:40] For a specific issue, both the provinces contribute
[00:15:43] money, and the center does so centrally. And I want to say that in the world,
[00:15:47] there are four specific principles. The first principle
[00:15:51] is that policymaking and evaluation should be
[00:15:54] national, and implementation should be decentralized
[00:15:58] and provincial. Vertical and horizontal justice must be established.
[00:16:01] Duties should be delegated to the lowest executive
[00:16:05] level for their implementation and performance.
[00:16:08] And accordingly, the last point is duty, authority, responsibility. I mention these four words together
[00:16:12] because in all our previous experiences and work
[00:16:16] we have done, we have delegated the duty but not given
[00:16:19] the authority. We have given the duty and administrative authority, but not the budget.
[00:16:23] Well, it is clear that such a delegation of authority will not bring
[00:16:27] about any change. Therefore, in this new version, which will, God willing, be implemented
[00:16:31] in the 1406 budget layer and is being institutionalized
[00:16:34] in the country's budget circular, duty, authority, responsibility,
[00:16:37] and accountability will all happen together.
[00:16:40] We told them that this is currently underway.
[00:16:43] Currently, in the country's Planning and Budget Organization, with the cooperation of all ministries
[00:16:47] and governorships, this separation of duties, authorities, responsibilities,
[00:16:50] and credits is underway. We told them
[00:16:54] that we believe many duties, authorities, responsibilities, and credits
[00:16:58] should now be provincial. This separation
[00:17:01] happened, and suppose the status of the provinces'
[00:17:05] authorities and credits doubled.
[00:17:08] We must give these to our provinces
[00:17:11] completely, meaning duty, authority, responsibility, accountability.
[00:17:14] We must demand accountability and responsibility
[00:17:18] from them. Meaning, we must also provide the budget, because now the issue
[00:17:21] is that if we don't provide the budget, it makes no sense for the Planning and Budget
[00:17:25] Organization and Tehran to sit and divide the budgets
[00:17:29] and give them to, for example, a certain province. Well, that would be the same as before. So
[00:17:33] they should also be accountable there. Now the main issue is about the budget. The budget is also supposed
[00:17:36] to reach the provinces. The delegation without a budget makes no
[00:17:40] sense. It's a dry and meaningless formality. And this
[00:17:43] principle, meaning the principles of decentralization
[00:17:47] and increasing the authorities of the provinces. Duty, authority, budget,
[00:17:50] responsibility, accountability, these four together are what is
[00:17:54] actually being pursued. Let me put it this way: You see, now in terms of resource
[00:17:57] provision in the country, resource provision is low.
[00:18:01] It's not what we want. First, naturally, expenditure credits
[00:18:05] are paid. Our leftover
[00:18:08] comes for development and construction in the country. Our provinces.
[00:18:11] Let me give you two numbers, so you can be aware. For example, the share
[00:18:14] of our tax revenues in the total national budget
[00:18:18] is something around 40%. Of this 40%, 90%
[00:18:21] is provincial and collected in the provinces. The existing
[00:18:25] mechanism is such that the provinces have no incentive
[00:18:28] to maximize their rightful taxes,
[00:18:31] legal taxes, taxes from arrears, taxes
[00:18:35] from tax evasion.
[00:18:41] In fact, social justice is also violated
[00:18:44] here. This does not happen. The country's resources are low.
[00:18:47] The allocations that are made, the budget is very small.
[00:18:50] Therefore, we change the game.
[00:18:54] That is, with these new mechanisms, this happens, which is called incentive
[00:18:58] mechanisms or incentive-compatible mechanisms. These say
[00:19:01] that we should arrange it in such a way that governors, from the fulfillment
[00:19:05] of their legal duties and to the country's resources,
[00:19:08] are benefited by their
[00:19:11] own province first and foremost.
[00:19:15] Now that the province is benefited, it is clear that all provinces will have
[00:19:18] sufficient internal motivation to provide the best performance.
[00:19:22] pressures from all governors, representatives,
[00:19:25] and all stakeholders. Where
[00:19:29] there is not enough budget to respond to these.
[00:19:33] Therefore, the pressure to provide a budget is maximal.
[00:19:35] On the other hand, the effort and endeavor to provide
[00:19:39] resources are low, if not minimal. We say
[00:19:42] how we can define a new mechanism.
[00:19:46] That is, with guarantees, tell our provinces
[00:19:49] that if you have these achievements, your budget will be based on these
[00:19:53] circumstances, and when the provincial budget improves, two things
[00:19:56] happen: the province's development projects gain momentum
[00:20:00] and are implemented, and a very big work that is happening
[00:20:03] in the 46th layer is creating balance
[00:20:06] between the personnel payments of national
[00:20:09] and provincial agencies. Currently, there is a very
[00:20:12] large difference between the per capita payments of national
[00:20:15] and provincial agencies, which is really not fair at all. So, these will become fairer
[00:20:19] and closer to each other. But now, this great determination of Mr. Dr. Purmohammadi's
[00:20:23] organization is specifically instructed for the 46th budget layer,
[00:20:26] which is also in line with the statements of the President, to see
[00:20:30] how we can create maximum balance. Very well, the last point,
[00:20:34] perhaps there won't be time. You see, Dr. Pezeshkian
[00:20:38] is program-oriented, problem-oriented, results-oriented, motivation-oriented. That is, I know
[00:20:41] him by these four words. These four
[00:20:44] words, when put together in practice, are called
[00:20:48] management and planning based on results
[00:20:51] and incentive-compatible mechanisms. So, it seems Pezeshkian has instructed
[00:20:55] us to go and translate our understanding of his
[00:20:59] managerial style and his belief in maximizing
[00:21:03] decentralization and increasing provincial authorities. This means
[00:21:06] to go and implement paragraph P of Article 17, with the explanations
[00:21:10] I provided, appropriately. Give maximum authorities and credits.
[00:21:13] Demand maximum responsibility and accountability. Create maximum motivation,
[00:21:17] and thus, automatically, the country's administration
[00:21:20] will be placed on a different track. Thank you very much. Let's watch a part related
[00:21:24] to this very issue, meaning performance-based budgeting
[00:21:28] and provincial budgets. We'll be right back.
[00:21:30] برمیگردیم
[00:21:33] The government never moved towards operational
[00:21:37] budgeting. Performance-based budgeting, which has been discussed
[00:21:41] among statesmen since the Third Development Plan, if we want
[00:21:44] to solve inflation in the country, if we want to bring back
[00:21:48] economic growth...
[00:21:54] This means budget allocation depends on the performance
[00:21:57] record of institutions. Never treat
[00:22:01] someone who is making an effort, working hard, doing good work
[00:22:05] equally with someone who is not doing this work. With the promulgation
[00:22:09] of the executive regulation of Article 18 of the Seventh Development Plan, payments
[00:22:12] to institutions must be based on performance. The expenditure
[00:22:16] must really have a structure that
[00:22:20] provides us with the most productivity.
[00:22:24] And this will not happen unless we
[00:22:27] have a performance-based budgeting system,
[00:22:31] a performance that depends on the results of the work of managers
[00:22:34] across the country, especially governors. Instead of everything
[00:22:38] being decided at the center, this decision-making should be
[00:22:42] distributed, and this will lead to
[00:22:45] the active participation
[00:22:48] of everyone. That is why the President, by delegating
[00:22:52] authority to governors, has asked them to discover, activate,
[00:22:55] and increase the major capacities and revenues of their
[00:22:59] provinces. If the government was supposed to come
[00:23:02] into the commission, and after the commission, it would be approved
[00:23:06] by the government, then that wouldn't happen either. A meeting wouldn't be held,
[00:23:09] meaning the whole country would be locked up. We gave
[00:23:12] authority, it didn't lock up. We gave authority,
[00:23:15] the work was done easily. Authorities that governors
[00:23:19] themselves welcome will lead to the activation
[00:23:23] of our dormant mines in the mining sector. In
[00:23:26] the areas that were mentioned, the corridor that was very important for us.
[00:23:30] With the strategy that the government had, and that
[00:23:33] was the issue of delegating authority, I can say that in the field of road construction,
[00:23:37] a revolution has occurred in Sistan and Baluchestan province. As much
[00:23:40] as the government is seeking to draft the next year's budget based on performance,
[00:23:44] it must use the managerial and supervisory capacities of the provinces.
[00:23:47] Because this model of management, with ex-post oversight,
[00:23:50] accelerates government decisions. Narges Moazzi,

[00:23:58] Good evening. We are watching Economic Evening. Let's talk about
[00:24:01] the new income and expenditure system of the provinces, or this issue of providing the necessary
[00:24:05] budget to the provinces so they can make their own decisions. If we do this, the role
[00:24:09] of the provinces will change from a zero executive manager to a decision-making
[00:24:13] system that is also involved in decision-making,
[00:24:17] self-finances, and can also
[00:24:20] benefit based on results. And if this happens,
[00:24:23] our budget will be more balanced, we will have regional
[00:24:26] development, productivity, transparency, and smart oversight. Dr., I have a question
[00:24:30] for you about smart oversight. You see,
[00:24:33] right now, when the budget is centralized, later when
[00:24:36] the consolidated reports come out, they often say, for example, 70-80%
[00:24:40] went, and 20% deviated. If this is distributed
[00:24:44] among the provinces, and each province acts according to its own performance
[00:24:48] and needs, then the deviation might be greater.
[00:24:51] You see, it's very clear. I said that one of the fundamental
[00:24:55] principles that exists in all countries is that implementation
[00:24:59] should be delegated to the lowest possible level.
[00:25:02] Policymaking, rule-making, supreme oversight, monitoring,
[00:25:06] and evaluation feedback are all national. But implementation,
[00:25:09] under regular and fair rules that lead
[00:25:13] to balanced development, this must happen nationally.
[00:25:16] We currently have 75% of all revenues
[00:25:19] generated in the country, in our budget, as provincial.
[00:25:22] 90% of tax revenues collected in the country
[00:25:26] are provincial. However, our provincial
[00:25:30] authorities have few authorities. As I said,
[00:25:34] the share of our provinces from the country's development
[00:25:37] credits is about 15%. This is completely disproportionate
[00:25:41] to the governance that seeks what the President
[00:25:44] mentioned: increasing decentralization
[00:25:48] of authorities and credits. These major changes are coming
[00:25:51] in the 406th bill. I wanted to ask about the transparency of oversight, where
[00:25:55] was it, Dr.? How was that transparency of oversight that didn't create
[00:25:59] deviation? When I say under rules,
[00:26:02] let me ask clearly, meaning are we going to give a large
[00:26:06] sum of money to the governor and tell him to go and implement
[00:26:10] his projects himself? No, not at all.
[00:26:13] Under the regulations and rules that the Planning
[00:26:16] and Budget Organization of the country, the cabinet, in our central body, meaning
[00:26:20] instead of getting involved in determining projects in the provinces
[00:26:24] and detailed executive actions, the rules, regulations, and standards
[00:26:27] that compel governors to provide the best
[00:26:31] performance in order to secure the common good and interests of their
[00:26:34] province. Those rules, we haven't given
[00:26:38] rules so far. We get involved in projects,
[00:26:41] we implement projects for the province, while instead of doing this,
[00:26:45] we set regulations and rules that make sure our desired
[00:26:49] results are achieved, and whether these rules
[00:26:52] create enough internal motivation in our provinces to provide the best
[00:26:56] performance or maximize
[00:27:00] partnership in the budget. Then it is possible
[00:27:03] that one province might receive more resources because it has performed better.
[00:27:06] And what you said, for example, the salary of a
[00:27:10] provincial agency in one province might differ
[00:27:13] from another province due to performance. You see, the payment system
[00:27:17] across the country, its framework is the same, but
[00:27:20] the province's resource provision depends on the performance
[00:27:24] in comparison with the capacity, capability,
[00:27:27] and potential of that province. You see, currently, our Sistan and Baluchestan
[00:27:31] has a share of about 30% of resource
[00:27:34] provision. Tehran province has 50%. But in the national
[00:27:38] budget, Sistan and Baluchestan's share is 78%
[00:27:41] in the provincial section, I mean. Tehran's share, for example,
[00:27:43] is 44%. This balance and equilibrium
[00:27:47] between our provinces is in place, but now
[00:27:50] each one is compared to its own resources. That is,
[00:27:54] Sistan is compared with its 30% share, Tehran is compared with
[00:27:57] its 50% share. Therefore, for each province,
[00:28:01] we determine quotas, duties, and responsibilities commensurate
[00:28:05] with its abilities and capabilities. We establish
[00:28:08] the rules of justice and fairness. Now, any province that has more
[00:28:12] success will definitely have more benefits, and we are pursuing
[00:28:16] the balanced development of the whole country and social justice. We have 30 seconds. The 466th bill is being prepared on this basis. Yes,
[00:28:20] the 46th bill, the section on its expenditure credits,
[00:28:23] by maximizing balance in national
[00:28:26] and provincial payments. Currently, the per capita payments of our provincial
[00:28:30] agencies are low. Our provincial employees tend towards national
[00:28:34] agencies. Balance and equilibrium are established in development
[00:28:37] credits, and in current ones as well. We are separating
[00:28:40] duties based on the principles I mentioned, maximizing
[00:28:44] policymaking and rule-making nationally, and implementation provincially.
[00:28:47] We are maximizing duty, authority, responsibility, accountability,
[00:28:51] and the budget of the provinces. And all of this, I said very simply and colloquially,
[00:28:54] is comprehensive. That is, whatever we call provincial, we must also give
[00:28:58] its duty, authority, responsibility, and accountability to the province. And in this way, an important change will occur in the provinces. Why?
[00:30:23] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Greetings to you, dear and respected
[00:30:27] compatriots. Gasoline consumption has not grown in the first seven
[00:30:31] months of this year. The CEO of the National Iranian Oil Products
[00:30:34] Distribution Company, appearing on the "Economy Table" program,
[00:30:38] said that the average daily gasoline consumption in the country in the first seven
[00:30:41] months of this year reached 133 million liters.
[00:30:45] In the first seven months, we did not have growth in gasoline consumption.
[00:30:48] However, a better situation and a good thing
[00:30:52] that has happened in the first 10 days of Aban (October/November)
[00:30:56] of the current year is that this number has become negative. Yes,
