[00:00:00] and supporting efforts to rehabilitate the electricity sector, which
[00:00:04] two or three days. This is very normal. In the end, contributes to improving the reliability of the electrical grid
[00:00:07] and driving the wheel of development. It is worth mentioning that the General
[00:00:10] Establishment for Transmission and Distribution of Electricity had signed
[00:00:14] last February a memorandum
[00:00:16] the beginning. I dedicate this success of understanding with the Saudi Al-Harf Company for Contracting to implement
[00:00:20] a solar energy project with a capacity
[00:00:23] while others carved it into of 210 megawatts,
[00:00:25] painted it on supported by an energy storage system
[00:00:28] with a capacity of 8,000
[00:00:42] hours. The Ministry of Finance has started implementing a project to develop public financial administration,
[00:00:46] funded by the World Bank, through holding the first meeting of the steering
[00:00:50] committee for the project, which aims to enhance the efficiency of financial
[00:00:53] management and develop its regulatory system and raise levels
[00:00:57] of transparency within a plan. Within a plan
[00:01:00] of reform extending through
[00:01:02] 2026.
[00:01:06] With the launch of the first meetings of the steering committee for the project
[00:01:10] to develop public financial administration, funded by a grant from
[00:01:14] the World Bank, the country opens a new page in
[00:01:17] the path of modernizing public finance management through a project
[00:01:20] that aims to develop financial and regulatory systems and enhance
[00:01:24] transparency. The attendees discussed the committee's tasks and oversight
[00:01:28] and coordination mechanisms, as well as the project implementation plan during
[00:01:32] 2026, in addition to addressing the project
[00:01:35] components, which include establishing a unit for coordinating
[00:01:39] public financial management reform in the ministry,
[00:01:42] developing the integrated government financial management information system,
[00:01:45] and updating the financial system for human resources
[00:01:48] and salaries, as well as developing the public
[00:01:52] procurement system, digital infrastructure, and the data center
[00:01:55] in the Ministry of Finance.
[00:01:58] Minister of Finance, Muhammad Yuser Bernia, affirmed the ministry's commitment
[00:02:02] to implementing the project and monitoring its stages according
[00:02:05] to clear performance indicators, which contributes to consolidating
[00:02:09] the foundations of modern public financial management and achieving
[00:02:12] financial reform goals. The participation
[00:02:15] of several entities in the project confirms that public financial
[00:02:18] management is an integrated and interconnected system
[00:02:21] that requires constant coordination between various
[00:02:25] concerned institutions. According to experts, this meeting is one of the important
[00:02:29] milestones in
[00:02:31] from this council a model of the path of public finance management reform.
[00:02:34] Governor of the Central Bank of Syria, Muhammad Raslan, announced
[00:02:39] Of course, the forum was very useful. This the extension of the deadline for withdrawing and exchanging old currency in Deir Ezzor,
[00:02:42] Syria and its people, and to make this Raqqa, and Al-Hasakah until the 20th of August,
[00:02:45] through the branches of the Central Bank and approved outlets of the Syrian
[00:02:49] Postal Corporation. And in order to facilitate exchange procedures,
[00:02:52] the Syrian Postal Corporation extended working hours in its centers
[00:02:56] in Raqqa governorate until 7 PM.
[00:03:00] It also increased the number of working forces in the Raqqa Post Directorate
[00:03:04] thrown into battle to 13 forces in coordination with the Raqqa
[00:03:07] governorate and the Central Bank
[00:03:10] patience, this country of Syria.
[00:03:13] and physical fitness. Of course, this Currency exchange centers in post offices and Central Bank branches
[00:03:17] witnessed increasing turnout from citizens, coinciding with the start
[00:03:20] of the extension of the exchange deadline until the twentieth of
[00:03:24] August. In contrast, citizens demanded another extension
[00:03:28] of the deadline and an increase in the number of exchange centers to reduce
[00:03:32] overcrowding and facilitate the completion
[00:03:34] of procedures.
[00:03:43] It's been five days now that I've been coming here to the post office.
[00:03:47] People are piled on top of each other because
[00:03:50] they have so much money. I don't have a turn.
[00:03:53] Today is my fifth day, for a million. Today
[00:03:56] it was exchanged. Laugh, look.
[00:04:06] Bread needs new
[00:04:08] bird accustomed to living in currency. The shopkeeper needs new currency. I mean, no one accepts our old
[00:04:12] money, frankly.
[00:04:15] as if it knows this No one accepts it in a cage. So if you release it one from us anymore. It's been three days in this post office
[00:04:18] crisis, and praise be to God, today we exchanged the money.
[00:04:22] There were some fights and pushing, and praise
[00:04:26] in this be to God. So we hope that there will be more
[00:04:28] aid for Al-Hasakah, more centers, and God willing,
[00:04:32] things will improve for Al-Hasakah to facilitate citizens' affairs. I mean, it's
[00:04:36] very difficult for citizens
[00:04:38] morning: in Al-Hasakah to stand at should argue with the people. The people were smarter than the post office.
[00:04:41] We demand, first of all, that they make more than one center for currency exchange, because
[00:04:47] the eastern region, one center is not enough. I saw with my own eyes people piled on top of each other. We come at
[00:04:49] 6 AM, and barely get a turn at 3 PM. So we can
[00:04:53] exchange the amount, which is two, three, or ten million. We demand
[00:04:57] more than one exchange center and we demand accountability for
[00:05:00] the money changers, the money changers who exploit the people who don't know
[00:05:04] what the new currency is, what the old currency is, or what the dollar
[00:05:07] is about. We demand that the deadline
[00:05:10] be extended, I mean for a year, because 20
[00:05:14] days are not enough. I mean, we've been coming to the center for three days now.
[00:05:18] We come and go, come and go. I mean, it's hard
[00:05:21] for us, by God. We have work. We are even displaced. I mean,
[00:05:25] our names came up for displacement, but we couldn't leave, we couldn't go. I mean, if we don't
[00:05:28] exchange our money, the entire Ras al-Ain area has become full of the new
[00:05:31] Syrian currency. We can't work
[00:05:34] there.

[00:07:06] Sciences because I wish
[00:07:08] to join the army and armed forces to defend
[00:07:12] the homeland. The meeting was good and purposeful, and
[00:07:16] the lecture was full of discussion
[00:07:19] and purposeful discussions. We benefited
[00:07:22] from all the inquiries and
[00:07:25] questions of the brothers, and then
[00:07:29] answered them. Students who recently joined this university, I mean,
[00:07:32] first year, second year, or even third year, can they
[00:07:36] withdraw to serve in an emergency war? Of course, I am talking
[00:07:40] specifically about emergencies. Today, we came with the aim of attending
[00:07:44] the great forum that took place, which is the inauguration of the National University
[00:07:48] of Defense Sciences.

[00:07:58] distinctive and very transparent. We were able to ask many questions,
[00:08:02] and we were also able to discuss and learn about the necessary conditions
[00:08:06] for joining these colleges there, and we even learned about the branches
[00:08:10] that existed previously and how they became developed
[00:08:13] branches, because any fighter
[00:08:16] must have at least a certain level
[00:08:20] that we cannot give up of military training
[00:08:26] meeting in the city of Aleppo, dear to our hearts,

[00:08:32] steps implemented by the Ministry of Defense to hold
[00:08:35] forums to introduce our students
[00:08:38] and their families to the project of the National University of Defense Sciences.

[00:08:46] and its engineering colleges and the departments within
[00:08:49] the colleges and about the postgraduate study programs that will be opened
[00:08:53] as master's and doctoral degrees in all engineering specializations and administrative

[00:16:24] The National Authority for Transitional Justice is working to launch
[00:16:28] a comprehensive path based on the principles of truth, accountability,
[00:16:32] reparation, institutional reform,
[00:16:35] and guarantees of non-repetition.
[00:16:43] A whole family was killed here. A whole family was killed. Yes.
[00:16:46] Children and women.
[00:16:49] We believe that achieving transitional justice is not only a human rights
[00:16:53] entitlement, but also a fundamental pillar
[00:16:55] for promoting civil peace and preventing
[00:16:59] the recurrence of conflicts.
[00:17:10] We affirm that Syrians do not ask
[00:17:12] the international community to achieve justice on
[00:17:16] their behalf, but rather to stand by them as they build
[00:17:19] it with their own hands, in a way that achieves dignity for the victims
[00:17:23] and enhances trust in the state and establishes the foundations of sustainable peace.
[00:18:09] responsibility and efficiency, and that you be partners in building a new Syria.
[00:18:13] I ask God to grant you success in performing
[00:18:15] your responsibilities and to protect
[00:18:19] council a platform for wisdom and a support for the state and a voice for the people.
[00:19:54] Welcome to the Syrian Story podcast on Syrian News TV.
[00:19:57] The most painful
[00:20:01] thing was when someone told me,
[00:20:05] "Stop the barrel bomb and then talk to me."
[00:20:08] There should have been a temporary government, a military
[00:20:11] council, a judicial council. No one
[00:20:15] the word. On the basis that my family's dead people know that someone dead is giving me
[00:20:18] condolences. They came to visit me in Palmyra after 20 years
[00:20:21] to prepare for the attempted coup against Hafez
[00:20:25] al-Assad. How did you uncover it? What should I do? I told him, "By God, it's the first time
[00:20:29] I've read your supplications. By God, I don't know what we should do with us." I expected that
[00:20:32] the revolution would be from al-Hasakah. I apologize if
[00:20:36] I was in this episode. Today, we want to relive
[00:20:39] the tragic memories, the stories.
[00:20:42] We wanted to convey the pain of Syrians,
[00:20:46] their dreams, their ambitions, through colors.
[00:20:50] The Syrian Story at 9 PM
[00:20:53] on Friday on Syrian
[00:20:56] News TV.
[00:20:59] Because the distance between the street and the decision-makers
[00:21:02] is a wall that hides the truth. We are here
[00:21:06] and
[00:21:09] everywhere that is full of questions
[00:21:12] and problems.
[00:21:17] To carry the voice of the people.
[00:21:24] And seek a space for solutions with decision-makers.
[00:21:28] القرار
[00:21:33] A link that shortens the distance
[00:21:37] and bridges the gap. Because
[00:21:41] your voice is
[00:21:42] the compass.
[00:22:26] After the terrorist bombing targeted the capital Damascus, the Ministry of Interior,
[00:22:30] in cooperation with the intelligence agency, conducted the necessary investigations
[00:22:33] to follow up on the developments of the incident
[00:22:35] and the location.
[00:22:38] All men of the Ministry of Interior and the General Intelligence Agency are ready and prepared
[00:22:41] to fight all
[00:22:44] those who tamper and seek to sabotage
[00:22:47] the homeland.
[00:22:50] No crime against an unknown person.
[00:23:48] The Supreme Constitutional Court is the highest judicial body
[00:23:52] in terms of separation of
[00:23:53] powers.

[00:24:08] two lengthy sessions over two weeks, and we have completed
[00:24:12] the study
[00:24:13] of the draft.
[00:27:27] peace and national unity and balanced
[00:27:30] diplomacy and stability, and economic
[00:27:33] growth, so that Syria may return to being a source of creativity
[00:27:36] and a source of expertise and a home for people of knowledge
[00:27:39] and experience and skilled hands.
[00:28:26] In fact, His Excellency the Minister of Housing and His Excellency the Minister of Transport
[00:28:30] were with us today at the inauguration, as we promised.
[00:28:36] The new bridge was inaugurated by the grace of God and His guidance,
[00:28:39] and after arduous efforts for several months.
[00:28:56] The extent of the need and the extent of the destruction are great.
[00:28:59] We don't have a single roof that doesn't need repair. It needs a lot.
[00:29:06] The old man's words are very moving. God willing, we will be able to bear the responsibility.
[00:29:09] God willing, with more
[00:29:13] will be rebuilt. Good morning, viewers. With
[00:30:16] the beginning of a new day, questions are renewed, the scope of knowledge
