[00:00:12] All of this contributes to maintaining is biased because we are graduates of this
[00:02:15] to the Thursday episode on 8/6/2026.
[00:02:19] I hope this day brings you good news and all the news you wish

[00:02:32] police at intersections, The best of mornings, full of jasmine and dahlias. May God grant you a good morning.
[00:02:50] slightly milder weather can go to
[00:02:59] Good morning.
[00:03:11] And dreams formed from
[00:03:12] violations such as driving in convoys that obstruct
[00:03:22] for love, for love, for the precious.
[00:04:06] And a determination that does
[00:05:40] forecast and the current situation today.
[00:05:46] The influence of the hot air mass
[00:05:49] on the Kingdom recedes, as temperatures drop slightly. The weather
[00:05:53] is normal summer in most areas and hot in the Badia,
[00:05:56] Ghor, Dead Sea, and Aqaba. Winds are northwesterly
[00:05:59] moderate, sometimes active. The temperature in Amman today
[00:06:03] reaches 32 degrees Celsius, with moderate northwesterly
[00:06:07] winds. The weather is sunny and from the noble capital
[00:06:10] Amman to the Gulf of Aqaba, the weather is hot and the winds
[00:06:14] are moderate northerly, sometimes active,
[00:06:17] and the sea is calm, with slight waves.
[00:06:20] So, the weather is hot in Aqaba
[00:06:24] but, you know, with the water, swimming, and your presence
[00:06:27] in the marine tourist
[00:06:30] areas, the atmosphere is different. So, every region has
[00:06:33] its special character in our beloved Jordan, and the beauty of things in this is very important.
[00:06:37] We will go to our governorates. We will start with Irbid, with a maximum temperature of 34
[00:06:41] and a minimum of 17. 32 and a minimum of 18.
[00:06:44] The weather is sunny. In Jarash, the weather is also sunny, 34
[00:06:47] and a minimum of 16. We move to Al-Mafraq, 15 and
[00:06:51] evening, and during the day 34. Al-Balqa,

[00:07:01] 22 degrees Celsius. As for the Central Ghor, 39
[00:07:04] and 24 minimum. Zarqa, 35 maximum and
[00:07:07] 19 minimum. Amman, as you mentioned, 32 and a minimum of
[00:07:10] 19. And we move to Hudayb, 32 maximum and
[00:07:14] 20 minimum. Al-Mughayer, 36, relatively hot weather,

[00:07:35] Ma'an, 35 maximum and a minimum of 19. And Al-Fattah, 32
[00:07:39] and a minimum of 20. Al-Jafar, 37 to 19
[00:07:43] degrees Celsius, and hot weather. Aqaba, as
[00:07:45] we discussed, 40, and hot weather, dropping to 27
[00:07:49] degrees Celsius. And Al-Azraq, 39, dropping to
[00:07:53] 19 degrees Celsius. Ruwaished, 40, dropping to 22 degrees
[00:07:57] Celsius, and also hot weather. So, whoever likes
[00:08:02] the north. All our beautiful governorates have, as you mentioned, a special
[00:08:05] characteristic. May God protect all our governorates
[00:09:55] Haider Mahmoud, and I always say, "We woke the sun from its slumber through work, achievement,
[00:09:59] and love of the homeland." And this is what distinguishes Jordanians, to be honest.
[00:10:02] Even yesterday, I was scrolling through reels and seeing
[00:10:05] what videos were trending, and one person said,
[00:10:09] "I came to Jordan to see Jordan because I got to know Jordan abroad
[00:10:13] and I saw how loyal they are to their country, how much they love their country, and the work
[00:10:17] they do they accomplish their tasks,
[00:10:20] they excel in their tasks, and they love the country they are in." So, how important
[00:10:25] is this impression of the Nashama? And I always say, I am very pleased
[00:10:29] with the word Nashama when any Jordanian
[00:10:32] person is described. It is a very beautiful thing, and we always pride ourselves on the fact that every Jordanian in every
[00:10:36] place he is in is an ambassador for his country, of course, with his good morals
[00:10:39] and the positive image of our beloved country. But even if you look, for example, from
[00:10:42] the days of the World Cup when we went to the World Cup, the whole world started
[00:10:46] seeing the ethics of Jordanians and the behavior of Jordanians, so it gives a real
[00:10:50] impression of the essence of this authentic,
[00:10:53] impression was present.
[00:10:59] Okay, let's go. We will go to a collection of
[00:11:04] very important events. It is essential, since we are talking about summer
[00:11:08] now, and very important festivals. The Jordan Summer Festival is available in various
[00:11:12] governorates of our beloved Kingdom and offers free
[00:11:15] recreational and cultural activities. What is special is that it suits all family
[00:11:19] members, and its activities start at 6:00 PM every

[00:13:20] and prizes awaiting, of course, families in various governorates
[00:13:24] of the Kingdom, tomorrow, Friday,
[00:13:27] starting at 6:00 PM. I wish you
[00:13:31] to spend beautiful times throughout
[00:13:34] our beloved Kingdom. It's a very beautiful thing that almost all governorates of the Kingdom
[00:13:38] have these very special activities, and they are family activities, meaning
[00:13:41] you can go at your leisure. 6:00 PM means the sun has set, it's pleasant, you've started
[00:13:45] with us and started Well, in the context of raising
[00:13:49] community awareness, the Royal Tank Museum, in cooperation with
[00:13:53] the Public Security Directorate, represented by the Anti-Narcotics Department,
[00:13:57] organizes a free family day as part of the International
[00:14:00] Day against Drug Abuse 2026. Of course, Eid,
[00:14:03] this day includes various awareness activities
[00:14:06] presented by the Anti-Narcotics Department's Nashama, in addition to
[00:14:10] a mobile exhibition that highlights the dangers of drugs,
[00:14:14] interactive activities dedicated to children,
[00:14:17] in addition to symbolic prizes for attendees. The
[00:14:21] activities will be held tomorrow, Friday, August 7th, where the mobile
[00:14:25] exhibition will receive visitors from 2:00 PM until 6:00 PM.
[00:14:28] As for admission to the Royal Tank Museum,
[00:14:32] it will be free all day, in an open
[00:14:35] invitation, of course, for families to participate in the activities
[00:14:39] and spread awareness about the dangers of drugs
[00:14:42] and promote a culture of prevention among community
[00:14:45] members. We thank the security agencies, honestly, for their very
[00:14:49] intensive efforts during this period. They are, of course, working all year round, but
[00:14:52] awareness of the danger of drugs is essential. And also spreading
[00:14:56] the culture among people that they must report to 911. It is a number available
[00:14:59] always for reporting any phenomenon or any person we see as
[00:15:03] an addict or a dealer or who increases this scourge. We even
[00:15:07] see Eid's presence in universities and schools with their mobile
[00:15:10] bus containing some
[00:15:13] types of drugs to raise awareness among students
[00:15:16] and youth about this very dangerous scourge.
[00:15:19] They have awareness and knowledge of its forms because
[00:15:23] sometimes people
[00:15:25] might put it to you and you don't
[00:15:29] very important effort, for sure. And the Land Transport Regulatory
[00:15:33] Commission will continue, starting next Sunday, the trial operation
[00:15:36] of the second phase of the inter-governorate public transport project.
[00:15:40] And of course, it will launch two lines, Jarash-Irbid
[00:15:43] and Irbid-Zarqa. Indeed, and the authority also
[00:15:47] confirmed that the buses are equipped with electronic payment and tracking systems
[00:15:51] and provide the highest safety standards as part of a plan
[00:15:54] that aims to complete the operation of the regular transport
[00:15:57] network between governorates by the end of October.
[00:16:00] All efforts are currently focused on serving
[00:16:04] the citizen, of course, and also facilitating traffic. We are also talking about
[00:16:07] the traffic jams that we are experiencing. We arrived early, thank God, we were saved.
[00:16:11] There is a lot of traffic, but we also don't forget
[00:16:15] that public transport has also changed, and this
[00:16:18] makes it easier for people and especially students who travel
[00:16:22] to universities, for example, the express bus has solved many problems that
[00:16:25] existed for students due to its timings, due to the Wi-Fi
[00:16:29] service it provides, and also
[00:16:32] in a different way, you try public
[00:16:35] transport, so this is very important. And also
[00:16:38] a very important point. We move to the Traffic
[00:16:41] Department to learn more about the road conditions
[00:16:45] in detail, specifically during these
[00:16:48] times, with Captain Ahmed
[00:16:51] Al-Daroubi, Mohammed Al-Daroubi. Let's go to Captain
[00:16:55] Mohammed Al-Daroubi. Good morning, sir, and thank you very much.
[00:16:58] Good
[00:17:02] morning to you and good morning to all your colleagues inside
[00:17:05] Jordanian Television.
[00:17:11] the traffic situation this morning, if you
[00:17:13] please.
[00:17:18] Well, today we are talking about Thursday and the end
[00:17:21] of the week, and we hope that this is a successful and happy weekend
[00:17:25] for everyone. The characteristics of Thursday
[00:17:28] are that traffic activity is high from the morning hours
[00:17:31] until late evening.
[00:17:35] Traffic activity has two parts: traffic activity
[00:17:38] and its intensity within the capital and at the entrances to the capital,
[00:17:42] and also outside the capital towards
[00:17:45] the governorates. The peak traffic is now moderate,
[00:17:48] but we expect it to increase and become active
[00:17:52] in traffic. We dealt with the movement of our citizens
[00:17:55] going to their workplaces from the early morning hours.
[00:17:59] Traffic was smooth and easy without any obstacles.
[00:18:03] We always work to ensure that there are no obstacles to traffic
[00:18:06] flow. The deployment of traffic
[00:18:10] roundabouts, and entrances to the capital to organize traffic
[00:18:13] is in addition to our citizens' commitment
[00:18:17] to the instructions of traffic police who are there to serve them and ensure their safety.
[00:18:21] Their commitment to all traffic
[00:18:24] rules and priorities is also important for their safe arrival.
[00:18:28] We care about their safety and security from the moment they start
[00:18:31] until they arrive. Our citizens should not
[00:18:35] commit any violations. We are also witnessing
[00:18:38] these days university graduations,
[00:18:41] and we wish all Jordanians joy in their homes for these
[00:18:45] occasions. So we want to remind our brothers not to commit
[00:18:49] traffic or sticking out of car windows.
[00:18:52] We always want the joy to be complete
[00:18:55] without anything spoiling it. So our brothers' commitment
[00:18:59] and adherence to avoiding this violation, its danger,
[00:19:02] and its obstruction of traffic. We wish everyone safety.
[00:19:05] We will now review
[00:19:09] the main traffic movements through the screen system in the operations room. If
[00:19:12] we look to our right now at Al-Sha'ab
[00:19:15] Tunnel, King Abdullah II Street, we notice the smooth
[00:19:18] flow of traffic coming from the Sweileh
[00:19:22] side. We notice the smooth flow at the exit of Al-Sha'ab Tunnel, near the Eighth Circle,
[00:19:26] the distance between vehicles. We emphasize to our
[00:19:29] drivers that leaving sufficient safe distance
[00:19:33] and driving in the designated lane helps avoid
[00:19:36] traffic accidents and plays a positive role in maintaining
[00:19:40] smooth traffic flow. To our right, on the screens,
[00:19:44] we now notice what is related to the Interior Tunnel. We notice
[00:19:47] that there is density and activity on Al-Istiqlal Street for traffic coming from
[00:19:51] the side of the Royal Palaces towards the Interior Tunnel. The traffic
[00:19:55] police officer is at the exit of the Interior Tunnel to separate lanes and activate
[00:19:58] traffic flow for
[00:20:01] traffic heading towards the Intelligence Circle, towards the Fourth
[00:20:04] Circle. To our left, we notice the vicinity of the Fourth Circle, the smooth
[00:20:08] flow of traffic, also Zahran Street
[00:20:10] in both directions. We are talking about the beginning of the day. We dealt with
[00:20:14] this traffic. The morning traffic is the movement of our citizens going to their
[00:20:18] workplaces. But now, the specialization will witness a return and activity and density
[00:20:21] in traffic, with citizens going to markets, government
[00:20:25] departments, banks, wherever they go. But we have a traffic
[00:20:30] traffic. Also, if we look now at Sariah
[00:20:33] Al-Shaheed Street, there is still density and activity in traffic
[00:20:36] from inside the workshops tunnel towards the
[00:20:40] Al-Shifa bridge towards the Sports City. But traffic
[00:20:43] police are along the entire road working to separate lanes and activate
[00:20:47] traffic flow. We also use all systems in the operations
[00:20:50] room, which are always used to guide traffic police
[00:20:54] in the field to provide
[00:20:56] the best and finest types of service to our road users.
[00:21:02] traffic safety and also always monitoring
[00:21:05] traffic within the specialization. We observe the Google Maps system, and you
[00:21:09] are following within the specialization to monitor any situation or any place that experiences congestion
[00:21:13] or traffic jams to guide traffic police. The police
[00:21:16] performance cameras that are with traffic police
[00:21:20] are also used to monitor even the secondary intersections within the specialization on my cameras
[00:21:23] that are currently with the traffic police at the entrance to Jordan Hospital
[00:21:27] on Queen Noor Street. We notice the activity now from the exit of the Fourth Tunnel
[00:21:30] towards the Intelligence Bridge. All the systems available in the
[00:21:34] operations room, and the directives from the Public Security Directorate, have been directed to the Traffic
[00:21:38] Department's operations room to maintain the safety of our citizens and monitor
[00:21:41] traffic. We wish everyone a successful and happy weekend, and
[00:21:45] safety accompanies everyone. Thank
[00:21:48] you very much, Captain Mahmoud.
[00:21:50] Thank you very much for this clarification, and thank God, we always hope that our country
[00:21:54] will be safe and sound, and that traffic will be flowing. Indeed, we want
[00:21:57] to thank all, I mean, the Traffic Department, and specifically Mohammed Al-Daroubi,
[00:22:01] who was with us today to inform us about
[00:24:17] about many topics, including nutrition and whether everything
[00:24:21] marketed as healthy is actually healthy. We will have with us the clinical
[00:24:25] nutritionist Dr. Khulood Jouinat
[00:24:28] to reveal the most common foods that people believe are beneficial,
[00:24:32] while in reality they are different, especially when they say
[00:24:35] diet and light, sugar-free, no added sugar. These may be promotional phrases, but
[00:24:39] والله هي قد تكون عبارات ترويجيه ولكن
[00:24:42] this topic, from the health of the body
[00:24:46] Dr. Atef Al-Qasim, who is the head of the Psychological Sciences Association,
[00:24:50] and Dr. Areeb Abu Umaira, the vice president of the association. We will talk about
[00:24:53] the "Under Pressure, Talk to Us" initiative and the importance of promoting mental health
[00:24:57] among university students after the pressures of studying,
[00:25:00] exams, and very important grades, and encouraging them to seek
[00:25:04] support away from social stigma. True, this
[00:25:07] is very important. And from mental health
[00:25:10] to legal awareness with lawyer
[00:25:13] Ziad Al-Sabbakh and talking about phone
[00:25:17] usage and limits of photography and when a photo or video
[00:25:20] becomes a legal issue. This is a very important topic,
[00:25:24] Eid, specifically regarding social media
[00:25:27] and openness. Sometimes we have a lack of knowledge about our rights
[00:25:31] and duties towards the law, so it is very important to raise awareness about it. After that, we will
[00:25:34] open the door of curiosity and discovery for children with Mrs. Roula
[00:25:38] Ahmed, Operations Supervisor for Education at the Children's Museum Jordan. We will
[00:25:42] talk about the Jordan Science and Arts Festival in its tenth
[00:25:45] edition and what it offers in terms of experiments and distinctive interactive
[00:25:48] workshops for children. And also, from developing children's
[00:25:51] curiosity to shaping the future of media, we host
[00:25:55] His Excellency Dr. Ziad Al-Rifai, Dean of the Jordan Media
[00:25:58] Institute, and Mr. Younis Kafarain who is the Director of the Admissions
[00:26:02] and Registration Unit to talk about the institute's programs, study
[00:26:06] opportunities, and the future of young journalists. This institute is very
[00:26:10] important. I and Eid, perhaps our testimony
[00:26:13] institute, and this is perhaps what makes today's episode special, that we are graduates of the institute, and we will also
[00:26:17] interview at this institute. We will conclude our journey with an inspiring story about
[00:26:20] Jordan. We host the Italian writer Enrico
[00:26:23] Aragona, who came to the Kingdom as a diplomat and chose to stay
[00:26:27] and love it, and talked about it in his book "Listening to Silence,"
[00:26:30] which documents Jordan through the eyes of someone who loved Jordan, not through the eyes of just a tourist
[00:26:36] is very important. And how many people today
[00:26:39] came to Jordan for a certain mission and stayed because they loved it
[00:26:43] and loved its people.
[00:26:49] This is a very special thing about our country, even in the hospitality and dealing with people and the love
[00:26:53] of hosting others. We will start our morning journey with you, dear viewers, with our health
[00:26:56] information, and our topic today will be about viruses. Let's watch
[00:27:00] together.
[00:27:10] I am the virus that enters the body with air.
[00:27:13] I search for a cell to inhabit. Yes,
[00:27:15] virus, you cannot live alone without
[00:27:19] the cell.
[00:27:22] I am the cell. The virus may use me to make new
[00:27:26] copies of itself. That's right, cell. That's why
[00:27:29] the white blood cell intervenes.
[00:27:33] I am the white blood cell. I attack viruses
[00:27:36] and destroy them. Yes, white blood cell, the immune
[00:27:40] system is the army that protects the body.
[00:27:53] Well done, son. When the virus enters
[00:27:56] the body, your immune system guides
[00:28:00] your body. Listen.
[00:28:06] This is a very important topic, and we need to differentiate between viruses
[00:28:10] and bacteria, even the type of inflammation, even the type of medication
[00:28:14] we take. It's not like if we cough and have a fever, we should
[00:28:17] go and take an antibiotic. So we need to be careful and learn more from
[00:28:21] a specialist doctor who can
[00:28:55] I am the soul that was born more than two million
[00:28:58] years ago. I am the one whose first
[00:29:02] steps were on the sacred
[00:29:04] land.
[00:29:06] I am the eye that saw a gazelle passing between
[00:29:09] rocks.
[00:29:14] gypsum to compose the melody of
[00:29:16] eternity.
[00:29:20] I am the Nabataean secret in the heart of
