[00:00:06] under the Islamic system, in the part of implementing Sharia in this province
[00:00:10] in Darzab district, it was said that with the
[00:00:14] establishment of the Islamic Emirate, Afghans
[00:00:16] gained freedom and the implementation of Islamic Sharia. They said that
[00:00:20] we
[00:00:22] are organizing the fundamental demands of all ethnic groups
[00:00:25] and their dignity. Dear
[00:00:28] brothers
[00:00:39] and sisters, just as you waged jihad
[00:00:42] in the establishment of the Islamic
[00:00:44] system, and in the enforcement of the
[00:00:47] Islamic system, as we are teachers,
[00:00:51] make this stronger. The divine
[00:00:54] decrees are implemented when there is
[00:00:58] an Islamic system.
[00:01:01] When there is an Islamic system,
[00:01:05] justice comes into being, fairness
[00:01:08] comes into being, oppression disappears,
[00:01:11] ignorance disappears, and ethnic
[00:01:15] and linguistic prejudice disappears. And praise be to Allah,
[00:01:18] today we are witnesses to the Islamic system,
[00:01:22] which is the only country in the
[00:01:25] world, Afghanistan, where there is an Islamic system in two places.
[00:01:28] Darzab district.
[00:01:32] The leadership of the Islamic Emirate and the leaders appreciate
[00:01:35] it and say
[00:01:37] that
[00:01:42] it should not be done like that. Regarding the security situation of the district, I am pleased
[00:01:46] to inform you that, by the grace of God and the efforts
[00:01:49] of the security and defense forces, and with the cooperation
[00:01:52] of the people, comprehensive security exists in all
[00:01:56] villages. The coordination of the security agencies is
[00:02:00] at its highest level, and there is no serious threat
[00:02:03] that could challenge the rule of the Islamic
[00:02:06] system. Today,
[00:02:09] we express our gratitude
[00:02:13] to the respected authorities and announce
[00:02:17] that it should be conveyed
[00:02:20] to our great leaders and emirs in the center that the people
[00:02:24] of Darzab have expressed
[00:02:27] their gratitude to the Islamic Emirate. They are very
[00:02:31] happy. First, the paving of the Darzab
[00:02:35] and Qashta-Khwab road was a dream.
[00:02:38] Every government that was in
[00:02:41] Afghanistan came and asked
[00:02:44] us what we needed. We said that we don't have
[00:02:48] roads, we don't have electricity, we don't have schools.
[00:02:51] But it was a dream that they didn't fulfill in that much time. Today, thank God,
[00:02:55] the Darzab-Qashta Patila road is the center of
[00:02:58] Shibargan. In our opinion, about 80% of it has been completed.
[00:03:02] The work is nearing
[00:03:03] completion.
[00:03:08] Justice has been ensured. Oppression and injustice have disappeared.
[00:03:11] The oppression of the people and the oppressors
[00:03:15] The increase
[00:03:18] in the price of fuel and gas in Takhar markets has raised concerns
[00:03:22] among the residents of this province. Some residents of Takhar say
[00:03:26] that the price of fuel and gas is higher than in previous years.
[00:04:01] Otherwise, the rising price of fuel will challenge
[00:04:05] the lives and work of the people.
[00:04:09] The price of oil is very high these days. The economic
[00:04:12] situation of the people is not very good either. We ask
[00:04:16] the government to pay attention to
[00:04:19] the high prices of oil and gas and these things, because the people
[00:04:22] are a little worried. I personally have a car,
[00:04:26] but I don't drive it because of the high price of oil. The problems were the same two or three months ago.
[00:04:49] Meanwhile, some fuel sellers and the head of the Takhar oil tanker union say that
[00:04:53] the increase in the price of fuel and gas is not only related to
[00:04:57] domestic markets, but also to developments
[00:05:01] and wars in some parts of the world, and the increase
[00:05:04] in global oil prices has caused the price of oil and gas in Afghanistan
[00:05:08] to increase. They add that Afghanistan is affected
[00:05:11] by these changes due to the import of a large portion of its fuel and
[00:05:15] gas, and this challenge is comprehensive.
[00:05:18] The recent developments at the regional
[00:05:22] and global levels directly
[00:05:25] affect the price of oil
[00:05:28] and gas. This is not an issue that local
[00:05:32] traders can control or play a major role
[00:05:35] in its increase or decrease. We ask
[00:05:39] the Islamic Emirate to reduce the prices for the people
[00:05:43] so that the people do not complain anymore. When
[00:05:47] winter
[00:05:49] comes and the weather gets cold, the prices should be low so
[00:05:51] that our sales increase and people
[00:05:55] don't complain about the price of oil
[00:05:59] and gas. Customs duties do not have any effect. It
[00:06:03] proceeds normally. The only
[00:06:05] effect is the closure of oil
[00:06:09] production by the nuclear facility and high global prices.
[00:06:40] The economic power of many families with high
[00:07:23] prices of these vital materials is wasted and excessively
[00:07:27] used.
[00:07:30] Afghanistan is also facing a major crisis due to water
[00:07:34] scarcity. Climate
[00:07:36] change and population increase
[00:07:40] have led to the depletion of
[00:07:45] the country's water resources.
[00:07:47] Although
[00:07:49] Afghanistan is a country
[00:07:52] with mountains, rivers, and
[00:07:56] natural springs,
[00:07:59] the management of water usage,
[00:08:01] the storage of rainwater, and the extraction
[00:08:05] of groundwater have caused
[00:08:09] people in many areas to suffer from water scarcity.
[00:08:25] In Afghanistan, agriculture is the
[00:08:28] primary source of income for millions of Afghans,
[00:08:32] but it is most affected by water
[00:08:35] scarcity. When water becomes scarce,
[00:08:39] agricultural yields decrease, gardens
[00:08:43] and livestock weaken, and the prices of essential
[00:08:47] goods rise.
[00:08:59] This situation not only harms the economy
[00:09:02] of farmers, but also affects
[00:09:05] the economic
[00:09:07] and social situation of the entire country.
[00:09:13] but also the responsibility
[00:09:14] of every citizen,
[00:09:21] the storage of rainwater, the use of modern
[00:09:24] irrigation systems in agriculture,
[00:09:26] and tree planting are simple and
[00:09:29] effective steps that are
[00:09:32] important in water
[00:09:34] management.
[00:09:49] Experts emphasize that if we do not take practical steps to conserve water
[00:09:53] today, future generations will face
[00:09:56] severe challenges.
[00:09:57] Because
[00:10:00] this same water is
[00:10:03] life.
[00:10:20] Water is not a natural resource, but a guarantee
[00:10:23] for our future. If we protect
[00:10:26] it properly, our life will be preserved. And if we waste
[00:10:30] it, water will also become a serious
[00:10:34] challenge for our lives,
[00:10:38] agriculture, economy, and environment.
[00:10:41] Let's make
[00:10:45] water conservation our habit.
[00:10:48] Let every individual consider it their responsibility.
[00:10:51] Water. The
[00:11:55] contract for the extraction and processing of the Tarakbrak coal mine
[00:11:58] in the Shinwari region, Darzab district, Nangarhar province,
[00:12:02] was signed between the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum and a private company in Kabul.
[00:12:06] Humayun Afghan, the spokesperson of this ministry, says that Mullah Hidayatullah Badri,
[00:12:10] the Minister of Mines and Petroleum, said during the signing of this
[00:12:13] contract that job opportunities and economic activities
[00:12:16] will be provided for the local residents, and the extraction
[00:12:19] and processing of the mine will be carried out in accordance with the relevant
[00:12:23] laws and regulations.
[00:12:58] The extraction and processing of minerals in Afghanistan, in addition to
[00:13:02] helping the country's economic growth, can provide more job opportunities
[00:13:06] for citizens. If the extraction of Afghanistan's mines
[00:13:09] is carried out efficiently and according to standards, and
[00:13:13] if it is processed within the country with the necessary
[00:13:17] standard modern equipment, we can manage the process better and
[00:13:20] create a better benefit for Afghanistan's economy, and we have these facilities.
[00:13:50] A technical committee will assess the prices of milk
[00:13:54] within twenty days.
[00:14:11] A technical committee will prepare a practical plan for the evaluation
[00:14:14] of the prices of dairy products and markets within
[00:14:17] twenty days. In this
[00:14:20] meeting, support for livestock farmers and an increase
[00:14:23] in the production and sale of dairy products at reasonable
[00:14:27] prices were emphasized. Also, a committee was formed to prepare
[00:14:31] a specific work plan within 20 days for improving
[00:14:35] marketing and setting appropriate prices for
[00:14:39] dairy products. The Afghanistan
[00:14:42] Chamber of Agriculture and Livestock believes that this plan
[00:14:45] will be able to establish a regular system for milk
[00:14:48] collection, storage, and delivery to factories.
[00:14:51] It can be that
[00:15:25] it is flowing, so that milk collection centers in villages,
[00:15:28] districts, and provinces are equipped and increased, so that
[00:15:32] collected milk is transported to factories, and factories
[00:15:36] can process it in a standard and technical way.
[00:16:08] The Afghanistan Agriculture, Livestock, and Production
[00:16:11] says that currently all dairy products are produced
[00:16:14] domestically. They ask the government that if the tariff
[00:16:17] on similar products is raised, domestic production will
[00:16:21] stand on its
[00:16:22] own feet.
[00:16:26] A water supply network with a solar pump system was launched by the Department of Rural Rehabilitation and Development of Kapisa Province
[00:16:29] at a total cost of 10 million and 85 thousand Afghanis
[00:16:33] with the financial support of UNICEF in the first district of this province.
[00:16:36] The Department of Rural Rehabilitation and Development of Kapisa Province
[00:16:40] has started the construction of three water supply network
[00:16:43] projects with a solar pump system in the first
[00:16:46] district of this province at a cost
[00:16:50] of 10 million and 850 thousand Afghanis with the financial
[00:16:53] support of UNICEF. Officials say
[00:16:57] that with the completion of these projects, healthy drinking water will be provided
[00:17:00] for 500 families.
[00:20:53] One US dollar is 64 Afghanis and 36 cents. 1 Euro is 73
[00:20:56] Afghanis and 96 cents. 1000 Pakistani Rupees is 229
[00:21:00] Afghanis. 1000 Iranian Toman is 1007 Afghanis. One
[00:21:03] British Pound is 85 Afghanis and 54 cents. 1000 Indian Rupees is
[00:21:07] 745 Afghanis. One UAE Dirham is 17 Afghanis and 37
[00:21:10] cents. One Saudi Riyal is 16 Afghanis and 85 cents. One Canadian
[00:21:14] dollar is 46 Afghanis and 66
[00:21:16] cents.
[00:22:03] for buying other goods, pine nuts are brought from
[00:22:07] the country to be
[00:22:10] exported to the world.
[00:22:11] They
[00:24:25] say that in the near future, they will cooperate
[00:24:29] with them in the mentioned areas. The government
[00:24:31] should
[00:24:34] export pine nuts to the market in the name of Afghanistan and sell them there. This
[00:24:38] is while the pine nut business
[00:24:41] requires processing and packaging
[00:24:45] of the product. They say that Afghan investors
[00:24:48] will increase the number of factories,
[00:24:54] and on the other hand, more job opportunities will be provided for workers.
[00:25:08] Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump
[00:25:11] discussed the war in Ukraine and ways to end the conflict
[00:25:15] in a one-hour phone call. According to Reuters, the two sides
[00:25:19] discussed the latest developments.
[00:25:56] Saeed Abbas Iraqchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, says that in the negotiations
[00:26:00] between Tehran and Muscat, an agreement was reached on a temporary
[00:26:06] path. Iran's Foreign Minister said that the return of the Strait
[00:26:09] of Hormuz to its normal state and the implementation of US commitments
[00:26:13] within the framework of the Islamabad memorandum
[00:26:16] depend on it.
[00:26:20] The number of American soldiers killed and wounded in the war with Iran
[00:26:24] has increased to 88. The news
[00:26:28] is that six American soldiers were
[00:26:31] wounded.
