[00:00:10] Kyiv, and extensive damage did not feel anything from these fruitful results on the ground [00:00:14] except for Israeli intransigence and the failure to provide [00:00:17] any document to Lebanon. On the contrary, it embarrassed Lebanon [00:00:21] to a great extent. The bet today is on the American role [00:00:24] and American pressure to go in two directions. The [00:00:28] first direction is to [00:00:31] a vision that is embodied curb Israeli escalation [00:00:33] in the field. Development and for Israel not to [00:00:34] content to more raise the level of military [00:00:37] operations, warnings, and displacement, as [00:00:40] happened last night when the town of Al-Mansoura [00:00:44] was warned to evacuate its residents. Also, [00:00:48] by this sector as an there should be an effective American will [00:00:50] to move [00:00:52] We see it prevalent towards the second phase of experimental areas [00:00:55] and witness implementation on the ground. I believe that if the Americans are serious about [00:00:59] this, we can reach [00:01:01] sector in the Sultanate tangible results, even if they are limited results. Political analyst [00:01:04] Professor Youssef Diab from Beirut, [00:01:16] or offensive comments that continued for the second consecutive day to storm Qalandia refugee camp north of [00:01:21] during the first half Jerusalem amidst widespread demolition operations, raids, and tightened [00:01:25] military measures in that [00:01:28] Osama Al-Maamari from area.

The Palestinian Red Crescent [00:02:53] Society stated that occupation forces prevented its teams [00:02:56] during the past hours from entering the camp, [00:03:00] forcing them to leave.

The Turkish official's [00:03:54] statements come after Arab [00:03:57] and Western countries, [00:04:02] the services provided. This including the United Nations, repeatedly accused Israel of [00:04:05] its attack on Gaza amounting to genocide.

A security source said that the competent [00:04:41] authorities have begun investigating the circumstances of the [00:04:44] incident, while the security [00:04:47] quality management system in forces imposed a cordon around the site of the explosion, [00:04:49] and no final death toll [00:04:53] or the party responsible for the [00:04:55] bombing has been announced yet.

The floods [00:06:07] submerged roads and residential areas and disrupted [00:06:10] transportation. [00:06:12] Authorities dispatched rescue and emergency teams to evacuate [00:06:16] residents from the most affected areas. The Chinese [00:06:19] authorities maintained the emergency response status to confront [00:06:23] floods in a number of provinces, including [00:06:26] Shaanxi Province, with continued warnings of [00:06:29] the dangers of floods and landslides due to heavy [00:06:33] rain. The central government also allocated additional funding [00:06:36] to support relief and reconstruction efforts in the affected [00:06:40] areas at a time when rescue operations [00:06:44] and damage assessment continue.

[00:08:26] In its pursuit of institutional development and enhancing [00:08:30] the quality of its emergency services, the Civil Defense and Ambulance Authority is [00:08:34] implementing the "Pulse" project, which aims to consolidate [00:08:37] concepts of quality and raise performance efficiency [00:08:40] and readiness. In Dhofar Governorate, an introductory [00:08:43] meeting for the project was held with the participation of [00:08:46] a number of military, security, and civil authorities. More details [00:08:50] in the following report. [00:08:54] The "Pulse" project is an institutional step taken by the Civil [00:08:57] Defense and Ambulance Authority towards consolidating concepts of [00:09:03] development in emergency services and building [00:09:06] a more efficient and ready work [00:09:10] system, which reflects on the quality of [00:09:14] meeting comes as an extension of the directives of the Civil Defense [00:09:17] and Ambulance Authority towards continuous development [00:09:21] and improvement and providing [00:09:22] an opportunity for the [00:09:25] unit's members to learn about the "Pulse" [00:09:27] project, its goals, [00:09:30] and implementation stages, as these meetings represent an important [00:09:33] space for knowledge transfer [00:09:36] and experience exchange and promoting [00:09:39] a culture of quality, which contributes to developing [00:09:43] institutional performance and enhancing the level of services [00:09:46] provided by the authority [00:09:49] to all. In Dhofar Governorate, [00:09:52] one of the introductory stations for the project [00:09:55] aims to implement the ISO [00:09:59] emergency services to unify [00:10:02] procedures, enhance clarity of responsibilities, [00:10:05] integrate roles, and raise performance efficiency [00:10:09] and readiness in accordance with the highest international standards.

Such meetings also contribute to knowledge [00:10:31] between the administration and geographical [00:10:34] units. The meeting comes within the Pulse plan to [00:10:37] enhance its presence in geographical units and spread quality concepts [00:10:41] and exchange experiences, translating [00:10:44] the vision of the Civil Defense and Ambulance Authority [00:10:47] towards continuous development [00:10:50] and improvement. Pulse is not just a [00:10:53] quality project, but [00:10:58] does not stop, and readiness progresses so that [00:11:01] human safety remains the goal, and excellence [00:11:05] is the approach taken by the Civil Defense [00:11:08] and Ambulance Authority. Lieutenant Abdullah bin Abdul [00:11:11] Aziz Tabook, Dhofar [00:11:25] Sohar Port and Free Zone. [00:11:28] We develop trade. We create opportunities. [00:11:31] Welcome. The Ministry of Labor launched [00:11:35] the Seasonal Work Platform as a [00:11:38] step to regulate and provide [00:11:41] job opportunities during seasons and festivals in the Sultanate [00:11:45] of Oman. This came within the activities [00:11:48] of the Labor Forum held in Dhofar Governorate, [00:11:51] which witnessed the honoring of pioneering figures [00:11:56] in the fields of labor and development, under the patronage of His Excellency [00:12:00] Dr. Mahad bin Said Baawain, [00:12:01] Minister [00:12:05] of Labor. Opportunities appear with every [00:12:08] season, but today they have become more organized [00:12:11] with the Seasonal Work Platform launched [00:12:14] by the Ministry of Labor to connect job seekers [00:12:17] with employers as part of the [00:12:20] Labor Forum activities in Salalah. Quite simply, [00:12:24] job seekers who wish to apply for a seasonal [00:12:27] or part-time job can enter this platform. Also, [00:12:31] today, governmental bodies and institutions or companies [00:12:35] contracted with governmental bodies during these seasons [00:12:38] can post these seasonal opportunities through the Seasonal [00:12:42] Work Platform. Easily, there will be a connection [00:12:46] between opportunities and job seekers or even students [00:12:49] who wish to benefit from those opportunities [00:12:52] to utilize their time [00:12:55] and gain practical experience in the field. [00:12:58] The Seasonal Work Platform provides an organized environment [00:13:02] that facilitates access to seasonal opportunities and supports [00:13:06] the needs of sectors related to seasons, [00:13:09] which enhances the flexibility of the labor market. [00:13:12] Labor unions are usually the mediator between [00:13:15] the rights of several parties. So we always look [00:13:19] for a solution that satisfies all parties. The solution should be [00:13:23] legal and within the authority of the Ministry of Labor. We have two parties: [00:13:27] employers and workers. So our direction [00:13:29] or policy is always to find a middle ground [00:13:33] that satisfies all parties. This is the most important point. If [00:13:36] this union system works efficiently and union work [00:13:39] is very high, the Ministry of Labor has surely noticed [00:13:43] the active unions and the sustainable solutions of some [00:13:47] unions and honored them today. The platform was launched [00:13:50] on the sidelines of a ceremony honoring success partners [00:13:53] and excellent establishments and pioneering [00:13:57] figures in appreciation of their contributions to [00:14:02] environment. This honor is a translation of [00:14:05] what we see today in the directions of national [00:14:09] competencies and Oman Vision 2040 regarding empowering [00:14:13] national competencies at different levels. [00:14:15] A platform [00:14:18] that organizes opportunities and a step that enhances the efficiency of the labor [00:14:22] market and opens horizons for [00:14:25] job seekers and employers. [00:14:28] From Salalah state, [00:14:32] Khalid bin Mohammed Al-Mashani, Dhofar [00:14:36] Governorate. With more than 1.6 [00:14:39] million Omani Riyals, an agreement for providing [00:14:43] consulting services for design [00:14:46] and supervision work for the Fish Industries [00:14:49] City project was signed in South Al Sharqiyah [00:14:53] Governorate. The agreement includes the consulting [00:14:56] company providing all specialized technical studies, [00:15:00] preparing engineering designs, and necessary studies [00:15:03] to ensure the project is implemented according to [00:15:06] the highest standards of quality and operational efficiency. The [00:15:10] Fish Industries City project is one of the strategic [00:15:13] and vital projects in the Sultanate of Oman [00:15:16] aiming to develop infrastructure to support [00:15:20] the growth of fish industries and enhance [00:15:22] the added value of the sector. [00:15:29] From Sohar, the story begins [00:15:33] where trade routes meet and transform into industry [00:15:38] and growth. [00:15:40] We create job opportunities and build national [00:15:43] capabilities. We support institutions [00:15:47] and empower society. An integrated system [00:15:51] that contributes to creating added value [00:15:54] for the Sultanate [00:15:55] of Oman. Sohar Port [00:15:59] and Free Zone. We develop trade. [00:16:03] We create opportunities. [00:16:08] The unaudited financial results of insurance companies [00:16:12] listed on the Muscat Stock Exchange showed [00:16:14] profits exceeding 11 million Omani Riyals [00:16:18] during the first half of the current year. [00:16:21] These indicators confirm the economic role played [00:16:25] active institutional investor for the stability [00:16:29] of the financial [00:16:30] market. [00:16:33] Growing performance indicators achieved by the insurance [00:16:39] of Oman confirm the economic role played by [00:16:42] this sector, not only as a provider of insurance [00:16:46] protection, but also as an active institutional investor [00:16:49] for the stability of the financial market and achieving [00:16:52] sustainable development. Profits exceeding [00:16:55] 11 million Omani Riyals [00:16:59] of the current year were driven by an increase [00:17:02] in investment returns and improved performance of portfolios. [00:17:06] investment portfolios, while other companies faced [00:17:09] pressure on their operating results due to [00:17:12] increased insurance claims and continued competition [00:17:15] and rising reinsurance costs. [00:17:18] In contrast, insurance companies continued to implement [00:17:21] measures aimed at enhancing the profitability of their [00:17:25] portfolios and tightening underwriting controls [00:17:28] and improving claims management, which supports [00:17:31] the sector's robustness and enhances the sustainability of [00:17:35] its growth, with the continued growing role of investment [00:17:38] returns in supporting the profits of some [00:17:43] the positive performance of the Muscat Stock Exchange. [00:17:46] Insurance claims put pressure on the underwriting [00:17:51] of companies, which in turn reflected on the [00:17:55] results of insurance activity despite the continued growth [00:17:58] of business in some portfolios. Financial disclosures [00:18:01] also revealed the continued adoption of conservative [00:18:05] underwriting strategies by companies, [00:18:08] with a focus on improving the quality of insurance [00:18:12] portfolios and enhancing operational efficiencies, in addition [00:18:14] to investing in digital transformation and raising the [00:18:18] efficiency of services provided [00:18:20] to beneficiaries. [00:18:23] On the other hand, data from the Financial Services [00:18:25] Authority showed that the total investments of insurance companies [00:18:29] operating in the Sultanate of Oman exceeded [00:18:31] 876 million Omani Riyals [00:18:35] by the end of the first quarter [00:18:38] of the year, registering a growth of more than [00:18:42] 10% on an annual basis, which reflects the [00:18:45] deployment of the sector's assets and savings in various investment [00:18:49] vehicles. Insurance companies rely on [00:18:53] the investment regulations for insurance and Takaful [00:18:56] companies' assets to manage their investment [00:19:00] portfolios, which represents the regulatory framework approved [00:19:03] by the authority to regulate the investment of insurance [00:19:06] policy funds and shareholders' rights, which enhances [00:19:10] financial sustainability and reduces investment risks. [00:19:14] The regulations also require companies [00:19:16] to direct no less than 70% of [00:19:20] their total investments within the Sultanate [00:19:23] of Oman. Asyad Shipping Company [00:19:26] celebrated the naming of the oil product tanker [00:19:30] "Minah" at Wuhu Shipyard in Wuhu City, Anhui [00:19:34] Province, China. The addition of Minah [00:19:37] to Asyad Shipping's fleet is a new step [00:19:40] in the company's strategy to modernize its fleet [00:19:44] and enhance its operational capabilities, enabling it [00:19:47] to meet the growing demand for oil product transportation [00:19:51] services efficiently and reliably, and to support the Sultanate [00:19:55] of Oman's position as a global center for [00:19:58] logistics and maritime [00:20:00] transport. [00:20:29] the pursuit of views and the desire to provide [00:20:32] meaningful content, publishing methods on social media [00:20:35] platforms vary amid increasing competition to attract [00:20:39] interaction and reach the largest segment of the [00:20:43] audience. While some are accustomed to providing content [00:20:46] that enriches knowledge and promotes dialogue, [00:20:51] to methods based on excitement and controversy, [00:20:54] which raises questions about the impact of these [00:20:58] practices on the digital content environment and its [00:21:01] repercussions on talented [00:21:05] people and initiatives. a title that arouses [00:21:08] curiosity, a question that carries a certain [00:21:12] insinuation, or a clip that is presented in a [00:21:14] way that prompts followers to ridicule or judge. [00:21:18] As comments pour in, platform algorithms [00:21:21] will push the [00:21:24] widespread dissemination because the [00:21:28] amount of interaction has become for them an [00:21:31] indicator of the content's importance, regardless [00:21:34] of its nature. A method used by [00:21:37] some accounts to increase interaction. [00:21:42] in many social [00:21:44] media. [00:21:47] However, its impact extends deeply to talented [00:21:50] individuals, initiatives, and positive [00:21:52] ideas. Many of them have [00:21:56] become hesitant to publish their content, not [00:21:59] for fear of objective criticism, [00:22:01] but rather out of fear of a wave of sarcastic [00:22:06] may overshadow the content they present, [00:22:10] turning achievement and diligence into mere material [00:22:15] of appreciation. [00:22:17] Over time, the digital [00:22:21] inspiring stories and successful [00:22:25] experiences, not because they do not [00:22:28] exist, but because their creators prefer silence [00:22:31] over confronting online bullying. Here, [00:22:35] the loss transforms from an individual loss [00:22:38] to a societal loss when the communication [00:22:40] environment becomes less encouraging of creativity and more [00:22:44] inclined to create controversy. [00:22:49] media has become part of our daily lives and an influential [00:22:53] space in shaping public [00:22:56] opinion, the need arises to promote [00:23:02] on responsibility and respect, so [00:23:05] that interaction is a tool for building dialogue [00:23:09] and exchanging knowledge, not a means of achieving [00:23:13] dissemination at the expense of others. [00:23:16] Views may create temporary fame, but [00:23:20] responsible content is the only one capable of [00:23:23] creating a lasting [00:23:24] impact.
