[00:00:00] We needed acute kidney failure and chest pains. We performed tests through
[00:00:03] the Sigma Association here at Aleppo University Hospital, and the
[00:00:06] tests showed that he needed a surgical operation. The surgical operation is an open
[00:00:10] heart operation, an operation that is rarely performed here in the city
[00:00:14] of Aleppo within the Sigma Association. There is a large surgical team that came from
[00:00:17] Germany, and they are performing these operations for free and
[00:00:21] voluntarily. They are taking time off to come and perform these operations,
[00:00:24] and this is something that our country
[00:00:27] the world. The goal of this needs because people do not have the ability to perform this operation.
[00:00:37] We admitted her to the hospital yesterday, and they performed a valve replacement
[00:00:40] operation for her, and the operation was successful.
[00:00:43] with us from Aleppo, and also from I thank the staff and I thank those who performed this operation.
[00:00:47] The operation was very, very wonderful.
[00:00:49] We hope that these operations will be repeated in the city
[00:00:53] of Aleppo due to the circumstances that we have been
[00:00:56] through. What is the news about health? May God protect you.
[00:01:00] Today is our last day in the heart surgery campaign in northern Syria, in Idlib
[00:01:03] and Aleppo. We performed many open
[00:01:06] heart surgeries. We actually, during this campaign, tried our best
[00:01:09] to choose operations that are valve-related, which are high-cost
[00:01:13] for the patient. This is valve reconstruction and so on, which
[00:01:16] opinions on the table. are more than bypass operations, in order to try our best to reduce the burdens
[00:01:23] a shortage of that we prepared at and costs for patients. Our operations have been successful so far, thank God. Today, we are visiting our patients. Of course, yesterday, everything was good, thank
[00:01:26] God. In addition to that, we had in Aleppo and Idlib
[00:01:29] a hospital at the university, and in Aleppo, there was
[00:01:31] the second type of this a scientific day and a heart surgery
[00:01:33] evaluation is also based on conference. We also tried our best
[00:01:37] he mentioned, there are many to provide, that is, to bring the latest heart surgery information to our resident
[00:01:39] in this hospital doctors who are here.
[00:01:42] As part of our "Pulse One to 2026" campaign, the
[00:01:46] Syrian-German Medical Association Sigma performed several specialized
[00:01:50] cardiac surgeries at Aleppo University Hospital for Cardiac Diseases
[00:01:53] association and other and Surgery, where five specialized surgical
[00:01:56] operations have been performed
[00:02:00] to date. Today, two more specialized surgical
[00:02:04] operations will be performed, God willing. These operations reduce
[00:02:07] the costs and the long waiting list for patients for heart surgery, as
[00:02:11] these operations have a high cost,
[00:02:14] needy groups. Of course, in this and almost no patient can afford these
[00:02:16] costs.
[00:02:23] So, dear viewers, for more on this topic, we are joined by the Syrian
[00:02:26] outside Syria in News correspondent Layal Kharbeit from
[00:02:30] Hama, and also from Aleppo, Ammar Jaber. Welcome,
[00:02:34] Eyes watching on Ammar. I will start with you,
[00:02:37] leaders residing in that is, from
[00:02:39] the country, and returnees from other supplies where this report talks about the operations that have been
[00:02:42] performed and the free operations, what is the nature and type of these
[00:02:47] They are deployed in every inch of specialized surgeries that have been performed in
[00:02:49] Aleppo at the University
[00:02:51] in the medical sector. Heart
[00:02:51] Surgery Hospital?
[00:02:56] giving that knows
[00:02:57] diseases, that is, other Yes, Zaher, these operations that were performed by the
[00:03:00] Syrian German
[00:03:02] Medical Association. Of course, these
[00:03:05] of free medicines to operations that took place during
[00:03:07] the last week at
[00:03:12] aimed at alleviating for patients in the Specialized Cardiac University Hospital, of course, in the city of Aleppo. These operations actually, Zaher,
[00:03:18] families who, in turn, cannot many people in the city the financial burdens on lacked the ability to undergo such
[00:03:20] operations, and if they were available,
[00:03:24] the costs of these surgical operations would be very high,
[00:03:27] and it would be difficult for many
[00:03:31] of those suffering from these diseases, and I am specifically talking about
[00:03:34] are taking place in various heart diseases. In fact, some of them are elderly, and also
[00:03:38] some of them have an injury,
[00:03:41] and they are young children, in addition
[00:03:44] to newborns and other medical
[00:03:47] conditions that require specialized surgical
[00:03:54] cadres and other the residents and patients in A summary of the most important and latest news from operations and also be somewhat specialized. Of course, these operations that
[00:03:56] cadres working in were performed during President Ahmed Al-Shara received the last week and today
[00:04:00] there were two operations performed
[00:04:03] lectures that are implemented in the medical services for two cases of of treatment there. This is part of these patients in
[00:04:06] the city, and thus the number of these specialized operations
[00:04:10] that were performed
[00:04:12] plan here in in the city of Aleppo and in the
[00:04:15] specialized cardiac surgical hospital at the university hospital in the city
[00:04:19] of Aleppo has reached seven operations. Of course, the staff
[00:04:22] stability in actually who came from Germany
[00:04:25] and is a specialized medical staff said
[00:04:29] that these operations are very rare
[00:04:32] and are specialized in terms of
[00:04:35] that there is a plan to develop this specialization, and also it is difficult to obtain
[00:04:38] the necessary materials for such operations, which are very expensive
[00:04:42] for citizens, in addition to
[00:04:47] to help them, whether in we conducted some interviews with
[00:04:47] operations. the families of those who operations underwent these surgical
[00:04:50] operations, and they actually talked about the success of these operations that
[00:04:54] were performed during the past days, and they said that
[00:04:58] the condition of the patients was actually stable.
[00:05:01] Of course, this, Zaher, actually comes within
[00:05:04] a series of measures that are being worked on to improve
[00:05:08] the medical reality in the city
[00:05:10] to deal with the of Aleppo, and these are truly initiatives from the doctors.
[00:05:13] They brought in various specialties that were not available
[00:05:16] here in Syria in general, and they actually
[00:05:19] started performing these surgical operations in hospitals
[00:05:23] to provide these services to the people. Ammar, you mentioned that seven
[00:05:27] operations were performed, but what about
[00:05:30] the number of operations scheduled to be performed, and also after
[00:05:33] the operation, does this campaign cover
[00:05:36] the medical supplies after the operation and the cost of medical
[00:05:39] materials after the operation?
[00:05:45] Yes, indeed, Zaher, first of all, these operations that were performed
[00:05:49] are paid for by this association,
[00:05:52] and it is committed to these cases and to those
[00:05:56] who underwent surgical operations from the beginning of the
[00:06:00] surgical operation until its completion
[00:06:02] and confirmation of the success of this operation
[00:06:06] and also providing all the needs for these
[00:06:09] cases. Of course, this, let me point out a very important point.
[00:06:13] The association actually works with the efforts of Syrian doctors
[00:06:16] residing in Germany who have these specialties
[00:06:20] and actually collect donations to provide these operations.
[00:06:24] As for the expected number of operations
[00:06:27] according to the association that spoke today
[00:06:31] through this TV report
[00:06:34] the hospital during these operations, they said that
[00:06:37] the number is seven specialized operations, but there may
[00:06:41] be an increase in the number of such
[00:06:44] operations in the coming period. As
[00:06:49] doctors
[00:06:52] who are specialized and can
[00:06:56] perform some specialized heart and
[00:06:59] artery operations and other such operations,
[00:07:02] but it may be difficult for some doctors to perform some of these operations,
[00:07:06] and this, of course, is due to experience, in addition to
[00:07:09] the materials and supplies that these
[00:07:12] doctors brought with them from Germany
[00:07:15] to perform these specialized operations in Aleppo
[00:07:19] Governorate. I will come back to you, Ammar, to talk about how
[00:07:22] to identify and select the patients nominated for these
[00:07:26] operations or most in need of these
[00:07:29] operations. I will move to you, Layal, and to
[00:07:33] Hama. Greetings to you, Layal. Before we talk about the reality of
[00:07:36] medical services in Hama, let's talk about Aleppo's experience
[00:07:39] that Ammar mentioned. Are there any plans in Hama
[00:07:43] to attract such
[00:07:46] campaigns or to train cadres
[00:07:48] and alleviate the burden on health centers
[00:07:52] there? Yes, welcome, Zaher. Of course,
[00:07:55] a campaign was launched in Hama Governorate, where
[00:07:58] the Al-Shifa Medical Team, in cooperation with the American Med Global organization, performed
[00:08:02] a group of specialized cardiac surgeries at Hama Al-Batni Hospital,
[00:08:06] as part of the international medical
[00:08:09] campaign "Shifaa 4", which is
[00:08:12] titled "Hand in Hand for Syria". The Shifaa 4 campaign
[00:08:15] aims to provide medical and therapeutic care
[00:08:19] to patients inside Syria, and more than 100 surgical
[00:08:23] operations and free examinations were performed for patients in
[00:08:26] Syria. It also aims to exchange experiences and transfer
[00:08:29] expertise and train medical and nursing staff inside
[00:08:33] local hospitals in Hama Governorate. This campaign
[00:08:36] was launched on the twelfth of July, where
[00:08:40] a group of operations were performed in the cardiology
[00:08:43] department, such as cardiac
[00:08:46] catheterization and precise coronary
[00:08:49] interventions, in addition to
[00:08:52] a group of cardiac stent implantation operations. These
[00:08:56] medical services provided by this team were widely
[00:09:00] welcomed by
[00:09:03] the governorate, and they provided great support for them, which relieved
[00:09:07] them of financial burdens, especially when going to
[00:09:10] private hospitals and the high cost
[00:09:15] provided in Hama Governorate. There is
[00:09:19] a major plan to develop the health sector in the governorate
[00:09:22] and support the medical
[00:09:24] the governorate, as a kidney dialysis unit was opened,
[00:09:28] and the first specialized radiotherapy unit was also opened
[00:09:31] in Hama Governorate, which is the first in the central
[00:09:35] and northern region, aiming to expand the therapeutic services
[00:09:39] provided to cancer patients and reduce
[00:09:42] travel and costs for them, in addition to being expected to
[00:09:46] provide services to more than six million people, in addition
[00:09:50] to the opening of the intensive care unit in
[00:09:53] the Children's and Maternity Hospital after it was expanded and equipped with
[00:09:57] the latest equipment and medical services. This
[00:10:00] is in addition to the opening of a kidney dialysis unit, the opening of the
[00:10:04] specialized cardiac clinic in Sinan National Hospital,
[00:10:06] and the introduction of the flexible bronchoscope
[00:10:10] to Hama National Hospital. Perhaps the most important
[00:10:13] achievement or one of the most important achievements currently provided
[00:10:16] in Hama Governorate is the rehabilitation
[00:10:19] and renovation of the Arabat Health Center, which was
[00:10:23] completely destroyed by the defunct regime, and which
[00:10:26] provides health services to the entire eastern countryside, thus alleviating
[00:10:30] their suffering of moving to Salamiyah city, which is about
[00:10:34] 45 km away from them, to obtain medical services.
[00:10:37] Yes, yes, Layal, I will come back to you to talk about the extent
[00:10:40] of the partnership between the Health Directorate and charitable organizations.
[00:10:44] I will move to you, Shadi Abu Zaid,
[00:10:47] and to Quneitra. Welcome, Shadi. Before we talk about the specifics
[00:10:51] of the medical service situation in
[00:10:55] Quneitra, what are the most prominent specialties
[00:10:58] and surgical operations, if you will, that lack medical equipment
[00:11:02] and, or also lack
[00:11:05] medical staff and cadres and require travel outside
[00:11:08] the governorate?
[00:11:14] Yes, Zaher, health is considered one of the most important pillars
[00:11:18] of life in general, and it is a fundamental right
[00:11:22] for every human being, directly. Especially
[00:11:25] to live a normal life, and the concept of health
[00:11:29] is not limited to treating patients after
[00:11:33] it occurs, but also includes prevention in general, early detection,
[00:11:36] and proper health education. Of course,
[00:11:39] and ensuring the access of medical services
[00:11:43] to all citizens. Of course, Quneitra suffers from
[00:11:48] capabilities or a distance, that is, a distance
[00:11:51] of specialized medical centers. In light
[00:11:55] of the difficult economic conditions that it is experiencing,
[00:11:59] these humanitarian initiatives of a health
[00:12:02] nature have become more important than ever
[00:12:05] before, of course, because they contribute to alleviating the burdens on
[00:12:08] citizens and give many patients a greater
[00:12:12] opportunity, of course, to obtain
[00:12:15] this medical care that they may
[00:12:19] find it difficult to secure by their own means.
[00:12:22] These initiatives also reflect the solidarity
[00:12:26] and cooperation and also confirm that humanitarian work
[00:12:30] remains a fundamental pillar in supporting
[00:12:33] the health sector and reaching the most
[00:12:39] context, the Quneitra branch of the Red Crescent, in cooperation
[00:12:42] with the UNDOF forces, continues to implement
[00:12:46] free medical campaigns in a number
[00:12:49] of these towns and villages of Quneitra
[00:12:52] with the aim of providing health
[00:12:55] services to all citizens, of course, especially
[00:12:59] the border areas far from
[00:13:02] the governorate center. Of course, yesterday,
[00:13:05] Zaher, the town of Jubat al-Khashab in the northern
[00:13:09] sector recently witnessed a free medical campaign that included
[00:13:12] clinics in multiple specialties,
[00:13:15] including internal medicine, pediatrics,
[00:13:19] gynecology, and other
[00:13:22] diseases. There was also dental
[00:13:25] medicine, in addition to the distribution
[00:13:30] patients. Previously, free campaigns were implemented
[00:13:34] many areas. There were similar campaigns in
[00:13:38] Umm Batna in the central
[00:13:42] countryside, Zaher, and also there was the village of Sid Al-Jawlan.
[00:13:46] This is of course a continuous plan that aims
[00:13:49] to expand the scope of medical services
[00:13:52] and reach the largest number, that is, the largest
[00:13:55] number of beneficiaries. Also, these campaigns
[00:13:59] are campaigns, Zaher, not
[00:14:02] to
[00:14:05] perform operations such as heart operations and so on,
[00:14:08] but they were, that is, free campaigns,
[00:14:12] they contributed to
[00:14:16] not performing operations, but they were limited to providing
[00:14:20] medical consultations only. What about critical cases that are unable
[00:14:22] to bear the costs? You mentioned that there is a shortage of capabilities
[00:14:26] and a distance in the centers, that is, medical centers and
[00:14:30] health centers. What is the extent of coordination between the Health Directorate
[00:14:33] and its partner organizations to cover these
[00:14:36] existing cases?
[00:14:39] Yes, Zaher, of course,
[00:14:45] talking about the situation more broadly,
[00:14:48] the issue of operations is the coordination between
[00:14:52] the Quneitra Health Directorate and also
[00:14:55] humanitarian organizations. Of course,
[00:14:58] humanitarian organizations provide
[00:15:02] many initiatives to perform operations and to help
[00:15:06] some heart
[00:15:10] and other
[00:15:12] The Quneitra Health Directorate
[00:15:14] coordinates with families and supporting organizations
[00:15:18] to perform free operations, including
[00:15:22] providing a small part or a partial
[00:15:25] part to perform this operation. Of course,
[00:15:29] they coordinate with the Quneitra Health Directorate and also
[00:15:33] with hospitals in Damascus.
[00:15:36] They may be private
[00:15:39] to pay the fees
[00:15:42] and costs of the operation, or as I told
[00:15:45] you, to pay part of it. Of course, this important
[00:15:49] humanitarian role played by some of these organizations
[00:15:52] and charitable associations that also work to support
[00:15:55] the, yes, I will come back to you, Shadi. I will move
[00:15:58] to Aleppo, and back to you, Ammar. We were talking
[00:16:01] about how to identify and select the most needy patients
[00:16:04] to benefit from this free operation, which
[00:16:08] you mentioned started with seven operations and is still
[00:16:11] ongoing, especially with the current high
[00:16:14] costs and the exorbitant
[00:16:17] costs in this sector. It is known that medical supplies are very expensive,
[00:16:21] especially in these rare
[00:16:23] operations.
[00:16:27] Zaher, these associations and organizations that have carried out
[00:16:30] a series of campaigns during the past period, and they are truly medical
[00:16:33] campaigns, and they focused directly on, that is,
[00:16:37] the situation and, that is, evaluated
[00:16:41] the current situation of the people in Aleppo Governorate,
[00:16:44] and therefore, these associations and organizations coordinate
[00:16:48] directly with the Aleppo Health Directorate, which in turn has continuous
[00:16:51] updates and lists of critical medical
[00:16:55] cases that are truly suffering from
[00:16:58] the inability of the people to complete or, that is, perform
[00:17:02] such costly surgical operations, in addition
[00:17:05] to, that is,
[00:17:10] the case itself, that is, the case also needs
[00:17:14] doctors who are truly specialized and have extensive
[00:17:18] experience in such fields and also have,
[00:17:22] that is, somewhat advanced experiences
[00:17:25] to perform such operations.
[00:17:28] In fact, this
[00:17:31] associations have truly carried out, Zaher, during the past period,
[00:17:35] many campaigns. There was also another campaign before this campaign
[00:17:38] that was also carried out at Al-Razi Hospital in Aleppo,
[00:17:41] and it was also , that is, one of the
[00:17:45] associations also carried out many specialized
[00:17:49] operations, and they were truly diverse
[00:17:52] and different specialties, in addition to the continuation
[00:17:56] of these organizations and these associations,
[00:17:59] which, that is, perhaps the largest percentage of them were
[00:18:04] Germany and other European countries. They brought
[00:18:07] many medical projects and also supported
[00:18:11] many hospitals with modern equipment and
[00:18:15] for such operations that many
[00:18:19] hospitals in Aleppo Governorate
[00:18:22] lacked. But in fact, there is
[00:18:25] a clear development
[00:18:28] There is clear satisfaction from the people of the governorate
[00:18:32] with these, that is, these associations that are
[00:18:35] providing these specialized operations
[00:18:38] and providing these supplies and also updating
[00:18:42] and developing the equipment available
[00:18:45] in public hospitals. And that is truly
[00:18:51] citizens and low-income
[00:18:55] perform and undergo these sensitive
[00:18:58] and somewhat complex surgical operations that also
[00:19:02] require significant costs. Yes, in short, Ammar, do you have
[00:19:06] information about the participation of the Doctors Syndicate or does it
[00:19:09] have a role in these campaigns that
[00:19:12] the capital?
[00:19:16] Yes, indeed, the Doctors Syndicate actually
[00:19:19] also has many projects that it is working on,
[00:19:22] and perhaps the most prominent of those projects
[00:19:25] is training, qualification, and development of the medical
[00:19:29] sector through training nursing
[00:19:34] the medical field through training and courses and
[00:19:37] in addition to the many
[00:19:40] many areas in Aleppo
[00:19:43] Governorate, and therefore this will also raise
[00:19:47] the mechanism of work of the medical sector in general
[00:19:51] in parallel with the support provided by these
[00:19:54] organizations and associations that support logistical devices
[00:19:58] and also bring doctors who truly have extensive
[00:20:01] experience, which they brought from outside Syria to
[00:20:05] provide to the people in the governorate. I return to you, Layal,
[00:20:08] and to Hama, in brief, you also mentioned
[00:20:12] sector, and you were talking about the partnership, so what
[00:20:15] is the extent of this partnership between the Directorate of Health and charitable
[00:20:19] organizations to secure free operations for patients or
[00:20:24] expensive medical supplies such as cardiac pacemakers, artificial
[00:20:27] joints, or rare or
[00:20:31] expensive operations? How is the interaction between the Directorate
[00:20:34] of Health and these companies that you mentioned?
[00:20:39] Yes, of course, there is a great deal of coordination between the Health Directorate in
[00:20:42] Hama and international and global organizations
[00:20:48] health situation in the governorate. Especially since Hama Governorate suffers
[00:20:52] from its northern, western, and eastern countryside suffering
[00:20:55] from widespread destruction and many injuries and needing extensive
[00:20:58] rehabilitation in the health sector. There are major partnerships on the
[00:21:02] ground, whether through providing modern medical equipment or
[00:21:05] conducting examinations or free clinics,
[00:21:09] especially since the last campaign, "Shifaa 4", was with the participation
[00:21:13] of more than 140 doctors from all over
[00:21:17] presence was, first, to train the existing
[00:21:20] staff in hospitals and qualify them and transfer expertise to the hospitals
[00:21:24] in Hama Governorate. Thank you, Layal Khalbit, you were
[00:21:28] with us from Hama, and also many thanks to Ammar Jaber, who was
[00:21:33] Quneitra, Shadi Abu Zaid. Thank you, Syrian News correspondents.
[00:21:37] So, dear viewers, this is the end of our tour for today.
[00:21:41] We will meet tomorrow in a new tour. May you be safe
[00:21:44] and well. Goodbye.
[00:21:45] The new People's
[00:23:01] Assembly held its first sessions, and Syrians
[00:23:05] from various governorates,
[00:23:08] components, and expertise
[00:23:10] gathered under its dome.
[00:23:16] It included defectors from the defunct regime, survivors from
[00:23:20] the prisons of this regime, tribal figures
[00:23:23] and local
[00:23:29] among the displaced, refugees, and expatriates,
[00:23:33] victims' families, people with disabilities,
[00:23:36] working women, and female heads of households,
[00:23:39] along with holders of higher
[00:23:41] education degrees and professionals.
[00:23:53] The National Authority for Transitional Justice is working to launch
[00:23:56] a comprehensive path based on the principles of truth,
[00:24:00] accountability, reparations, institutional reform,
[00:24:03] and ensuring non-
[00:24:05] repetition.
[00:24:12] A whole family was killed here, a whole family was killed,
[00:24:15] children and women.
[00:24:18] We believe that achieving transitional justice is not just a human
[00:24:21] rights imperative, but also a fundamental pillar
[00:24:24] for strengthening civil peace and preventing the recurrence of conflicts.
[00:24:38] We affirm that Syrians do not ask
[00:24:41] the international community to achieve justice on
[00:24:45] their behalf, but to stand by them as they build it
[00:24:48] with their own hands, in a way that restores
[00:24:52] dignity to victims, strengthens trust in the state, and establishes the foundations of sustainable peace.
[00:25:08] The Supreme Constitutional Court is the highest judicial authority
[00:25:11] in terms of separation of
[00:25:12] powers.
[00:25:22] As members of the Supreme Constitutional Court, the draft
[00:25:25] was discussed during two lengthy
[00:25:28] sessions over two weeks, and we have completed
[00:25:31] the study of the draft.
[00:25:57] Because the distance between the street and decision-makers
[00:26:01] is a wall that hides the truth. We are here
[00:26:05] and
[00:26:08] everywhere where questions
[00:26:10] and problems
[00:26:16] abound, to carry the voice
[00:26:17] of the people
[00:26:22] and search for a space for solutions with decision-makers.
[00:26:26] A link
[00:26:32] that shortens the distance
[00:26:35] and bridges the gap
[00:26:37] because
[00:26:39] your voice is the compass.
[00:26:52] Developments are crowding, events are intertwined,
[00:26:56] files are numerous, opinions are diverse,
[00:27:00] and the voice of differing viewpoints rises.
[00:27:03] And because the scene cannot be read from a single angle,
[00:27:06] we open the door to dialogue, we ask
[00:27:10] difficult questions, and we combine
[00:27:12] ideas with their opposites, and we place opinions
[00:27:16] in opposition to other
[00:27:41] Well-thought-out steps
[00:27:42] and plans
[00:27:46] implemented with precision.
[00:27:50] Competencies are distributed in the Syrian Ministry of Interior
[00:27:53] to draw a comprehensive security
[00:27:57] map.
[00:28:02] Behind this extended security are men
[00:28:05] who have been carefully prepared
[00:28:08] to secure every
[00:28:10] inch.
[00:28:13] Their specializations are distributed to face all possibilities
[00:28:16] of danger. Every military uniform
[00:28:19] tells a story of long
[00:28:21] training. I swear to God Almighty, I swear to God
[00:28:24] Almighty, for men who swore to perform
[00:28:28] their duty towards
[00:28:29] the homeland.
[00:28:37] the borders, dismantling Captagon and drug smuggling
[00:28:41] networks.
[00:28:49] Syrian geography and secure every
[00:28:52] corner, square,
[00:28:54] and road. A journey of
[00:28:59] no stopping and a continuous
[00:29:02] endeavor that does
[00:29:04] not know fatigue.
[00:29:08] Vigilant eyes, complete
[00:29:10] readiness
[00:29:14] for a future of stability.
[00:29:53] Syrian News. Welcome.
[00:29:57] in the capital Damascus the National Security Adviser to the United Kingdom,
[00:30:00] Jonathan Powell, in the presence of the Foreign Minister.
[00:30:02] And expatriate Asaad Al-Shaibani. During the meeting, ways to enhance
[00:30:06] bilateral relations between the Syrian Arab Republic
[00:30:09] and the United Kingdom were discussed, in addition to discussing
[00:30:12] a number of issues of common interest. The meeting also addressed
[00:30:15] regional and international developments, with an emphasis on
[00:30:19] the importance of continuing coordination to serve mutual interests
[00:30:22] and contribute to supporting
[00:30:24] the region.
[00:30:28] The Ministry of Interior stated that the Internal Security Forces continue
[00:30:31] their security and investigative measures in the city of
[00:30:34] Jaramana following the criminal bombing that targeted a passenger
[00:30:37] bus and resulted in the injury of 14 civilians.
[00:30:41] The ministry explained that the specialized units began, from the first
[00:30:45] moments of the bombing, cordoning
[00:30:47] off the scene of the incident, collecting evidence, and following up on investigations to uncover
[00:30:51] the circumstances of the crime and track down those involved.
[00:30:54] The ministry affirmed that this attack comes at a time when responsible
[00:30:58] national positions have been issued about
