[00:00:00] Its constant slogan will remain and
[00:00:02] its responsibility is to turn this right into a
[00:00:06] tangible reality, no matter the size of the challenges, efforts,
[00:00:10] and capabilities
[00:00:11] their lives in required.
[00:00:19] From a small grain The village of Kafr Taal
[00:00:21] in the soil to a loaf in the Aleppo countryside suffers from
[00:00:24] a lack of basic services such as electricity, water, and necessary roads
[00:00:28] for its return after what it suffered from the bombing
[00:00:32] of the former regime throughout
[00:00:35] companies to invest in the years of the revolution. Also, the earthen barriers impede traffic
[00:00:38] and movement.
[00:00:42] Destruction affected homes, shops, and roads,
[00:00:46] and basic services were absent from the residents, leaving the residents
[00:00:50] of Kafr Taal facing a heavy reality left behind by the years
[00:00:53] of war. Electricity and water are at the forefront
[00:00:56] of needs, while the cost of
[00:00:58] alternatives has doubled. of daily life.
[00:01:01] Unfortunately, we expect services
[00:01:04] to be basic,
[00:01:08] infrastructure, for example, water, sewage networks,
[00:01:11] earthen barriers. Until now, the land is still being planted
[00:01:16] he was arrested and disappeared in with trenches. Partial destruction and complete destruction of homes. I mean, in general,
[00:01:20] healthy conditions have returned to the village, but maybe, maybe, I mean, he has
[00:01:25] The change this After years of
[00:01:25] dozens of meetings at no other choice, I mean, a blanket and a tarp, and a small child, he has
[00:01:27] no choice, and some people did not return because they cannot even spend 200
[00:01:31] dollars on their home to be able to live in it. The village's
[00:01:35] very grateful to the people who organized this location placed it, during the years of war, in the heart
[00:01:38] of confrontations, as it was one of the first lines of engagement during the battle
[00:01:42] to deter aggression and was subjected to intense shelling
[00:01:45] that caused extensive damage. Even today,
[00:01:48] the earthen barriers and traces of shelling are still present
[00:01:51] and hinder the movement of residents and transportation to
[00:01:55] its services. From and from the village. We need
[00:01:58] everything, I mean, at least, at least, we need a school, for example, activating a high school,
[00:02:01] water and electricity services. There is
[00:02:05] none. As for food items, for example, if you need something,
[00:02:09] you have to go somewhere else to buy it. Here,
[00:02:11] This
[00:02:11] a system more capable it is cut off. Despite the harsh conditions,
[00:02:15] the residents of Kafr Taal try to hold on to their land and regain
[00:02:19] their daily lives amidst hopes that the village will receive
[00:02:22] the attention commensurate with the extent of the damage. The return
[00:02:26] of stability to it means opening the way for residents to continue
[00:02:30] their lives and for commercial and social
[00:02:32] movement to regain its presence
[00:02:36] again.
[00:02:39] Kafr Taal does not need temporary solutions, but rather
[00:02:42] a real step that rehabilitates
[00:02:45] the closure of other centers to it, opens its roads, and restores to its people the necessities
[00:02:49] of life and stability. Muhammad Qanbari,
[00:02:51] Syrian News,
[00:02:53] should be smarter than the people. It turned out the people were smarter than Western Aleppo countryside.
[00:02:56] The southern villages of Tal Hamis countryside suffer from a lack of
[00:03:00] water and poor quality of groundwater. To
[00:03:03] obtain potable water, it is necessary to dig deeper wells
[00:03:07] or secure an alternative
[00:03:11] I expected the revolution to come from source.
[00:03:14] Thousands of residents in the Tal Hamis countryside suffer from thirst and a lack
[00:03:18] of drinking water due to the unavailability
[00:03:20] ear of wheat that grows in of sufficient water sources to meet their needs. Residents believe
[00:03:23] that digging a well 300 meters deep
[00:03:27] with isolation of the saline surface layers may...
[00:03:33] in 40 health centers
[00:03:38] Our water is salty, not suitable for drinking, washing, or anything. It is only suitable
[00:03:41] for watering the house for the livestock.
[00:03:45] Washing and drinking, it's not suitable at all. Our pumps break down
[00:03:48] due to the salinity of the water. Our pumps have been broken for 10 days now.
[00:03:52] emergency response We have no water to drink. A tank of water costs 100,000,
[00:03:55] we buy it for 50,000. So, a tank lasts for one night
[00:04:00] Today's stability does and the next day. I mean, we buy a tank every day. 10,000.
[00:04:03] This village is known as Al-Nuqta. This is the main one, the private one
[00:04:07] that belongs to Al-Jisi village
[00:04:10] grounds your methodology in the field. and Al-Khassah farm. We suffer from the water problem because we have
[00:04:14] water that is not suitable for drinking, even
[00:04:15] for equipment.
[00:04:18] The water we store
[00:04:22] in unsuitable tanks is not potable, and is harmful to health,
[00:04:25] frankly. We have this well here, it's not isolated
[00:04:28] at all, and the water is... It's salty sometimes,
[00:04:32] topics this I mean, it's completely unsuitable for drinking, but we're forced to drink it because
[00:04:35] diesel first rose, and we don't have the ability for anyone
[00:04:40] Five martyrs, I survived to start their car and bring and distribute water tanks in the village.
[00:04:43] Second, we need
[00:04:46] and Deir ez-Zor offices, a system, I mean, an irrigation system, I mean, distribution to the village. We need,
[00:04:49] I mean, our basic demand is sweet water. I mean,
[00:04:53] that the state pays attention to these villages, especially our village, because
[00:04:57] it's a real struggle.
[00:05:02] The Directorate of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection in
[00:05:06] Hasakah conducted inspection tours of bakeries
[00:05:09] in Hasakah city following complaints about
[00:05:12] the rising price of bread,
[00:05:15] in order to verify compliance with the approved price and the mechanism
[00:05:18] of sale to citizens. The
[00:05:21] tours resulted in issuing reports against a number of violating
[00:05:24] bakeries and taking the necessary legal
[00:05:27] measures. The Directorate affirmed that the price of bread has not
[00:05:31] been modified by the Ministry of Economy and Industry,
[00:05:35] emphasizing continued oversight
[00:05:38] and preventing the collection of any additional
[00:05:40] amounts.
[00:05:45] The Ministry of Economy and Industry sent a technical team to
[00:05:49] the Al-Mazraa area in the Sweida countryside to inspect the quality
[00:05:52] of the flour supplied to the region's bakeries, where
[00:05:56] samples were taken to verify their compliance
[00:06:00] with Syrian standard specifications. The tour included
[00:06:03] urgent sensory and technical tests
[00:06:07] and an inventory of quantities allocated for humanitarian aid
[00:06:10] and verification of storage conditions. This is part of
[00:06:13] measures aimed at ensuring the safety of the stored
[00:06:17] flour allocated to bakeries and displaced families in
[00:06:20] the western Sweida and Daraa countryside, and protecting
[00:06:24] the health of citizens and ensuring the quality of the distributed
[00:06:27] bread.
[00:06:37] challenges, the Syrian health sector stands
[00:06:41] before a new phase, titled rehabilitation
[00:06:43] and restoration of readiness. Between
[00:06:47] facilities needing renovation,
[00:06:50] medical devices needing updating, and
[00:06:54] increasing needs for cadres and expertise,
[00:06:57] governmental efforts continue to rebuild the sector
[00:07:01] and enhance its ability to provide
[00:07:07] outdated medical devices to
[00:07:10] a shortage of staff and difficulty accessing some services,
[00:07:14] the map of needs for the health sector in
[00:07:17] Syria is expanding at a time when steps to rebuild
[00:07:21] and establish
[00:07:24] of responding are accelerating. According to the latest data from the World
[00:07:27] Health Organization, the health sector in Syria needs support
[00:07:31] targeting 12 million and 800
[00:07:34] thousand people by 2026,
[00:07:37] amid continued infrastructure, staffing,
[00:07:40] funding, and access challenges.
[00:07:44] Latest data from the Ministry of Health indicates
[00:07:48] that 1,320
[00:07:50] health centers are operational out of
[00:07:52] 1,740 centers. The ministry attributes
[00:07:58] damage, staff shortages, and difficulty
[00:08:01] of access. In Damascus alone, government hospitals
[00:08:04] need about 19 medical
[00:08:07] devices with a plan to replace outdated
[00:08:10] devices within four years. On the rehabilitation
[00:08:14] front, the Ministry of Health began rehabilitating
[00:08:17] five hospitals in Hama, Idlib, Deir ez-Zor, Daraa,
[00:08:21] and Homs, while 22
[00:08:24] health centers in rural Aleppo are being renovated
[00:08:27] as part of a European-supported project. As for cadres, efforts
[00:08:31] are directed towards training and attracting expertise,
[00:08:34] expanding nursing and midwifery schools, and launching campaigns
[00:08:38] and specialized medical missions. The ministry is also working
[00:08:42] on introducing the family medicine approach
[00:08:46] in parallel with digital transformation and developing
[00:08:49] a unified electronic health file. Official tenders
[00:08:52] announced in September indicate continued
[00:08:55] efforts to provide medical devices, surgical equipment,
[00:08:59] and hemodialysis supplies, reflecting a shift
[00:09:02] in needs from
[00:09:04] to a long-term reconstruction
[00:09:08] path.
[00:09:11] The Assistant Minister of Economy and Industry, Basil
[00:09:15] Abdel Hanan, discussed with the Syrian-Egyptian Businessmen Council in
[00:09:18] Damascus the investment opportunities available
[00:09:22] and ways to enhance partnership between the business communities
[00:09:26] of the two countries. The meeting addressed mechanisms
[00:09:29] for exploiting available opportunities to develop economic cooperation
[00:09:33] and encourage the establishment of joint projects and investments
[00:09:36] between Syrian and Egyptian businessmen.
[00:09:40] والمصريين.
[00:09:50] Under the patronage of the Governor of Homs, Mr. Murhaf Al-Naasan,
[00:09:54] the Syndicate of Syrian Engineers in Homs held a ceremony
[00:09:57] to honor the detained engineers
[00:10:00] and those who participated in the operation to deter aggression, and the families
[00:10:04] of the martyr engineers in loyalty and appreciation
[00:10:07] for their sacrifices and their role during the past
[00:10:10] years.
[00:10:25] Honoring the engineers who participated in the battle of deterring aggression
[00:10:28] and the martyrs, and honoring the families of the martyrs, and honoring
[00:10:31] the detainees who contributed to those who sacrificed
[00:10:36] the detentions and suffered torture. Praise be to Allah, Lord
[00:10:40] of the Worlds. Allah honored us in deterring aggression and liberated
[00:10:43] Syria as a first battle. Allah, Lord of the Worlds, honored us in it.
[00:10:47] Now, there is a very big role for engineers in the battle of construction.
[00:10:50] The engineer is the foundation in the battle of rebuilding Syria.
[00:10:54] Just as the engineer played a big role in the battle of liberating Syria,
[00:10:58] he will have the biggest role in the battle of building and rebuilding
[00:11:02] Syria from scratch, God willing.
[00:11:05] The father of engineer Muhammad Nidal Al-Tarash was martyred in
[00:11:08] 2013 by a mortar shell at the entrance of Al-Hissama Mosque.
[00:11:12] Today, we were at an event
[00:11:15] organized by the Engineers Syndicate, thankfully, to honor
[00:11:18] the families of martyrs and detainees. It was
[00:11:21] a nice gesture from them, honestly, because the families of martyrs,
[00:11:25] throughout all these years, they need support, they need
[00:11:29] to feel that someone remembers them, throughout this whole period. May God have mercy
[00:11:32] on the martyr engineer. The martyr was,
[00:11:36] from the beginning of the revolution, with the revolutionaries in Bab Amr, and
[00:11:39] as a result, Sednaya
[00:11:42] and martyred. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. We, of course, suffered
[00:11:46] from the loss and searching for him for many years until the day
[00:11:50] of liberation when we confirmed his martyrdom.
[00:11:53] Praise be to Allah, the blood of our martyrs was the path
[00:11:56] to victory. I am
[00:12:00] honoring. We thank
[00:12:02] them all.
[00:12:05] I just want to say this sentence, that death
[00:12:08] is a right, but martyrdom is a selection. The Lord of the Worlds
[00:12:11] chooses them, a selection for the martyrs. May God have mercy
[00:12:14] on them all and make their abode in Paradise. Their blood
[00:12:17] illuminated the path for us to be liberated. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
[00:12:21] And I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this event.
[00:12:26] And we are very proud to have participated
[00:12:28] in it.
[00:12:31] At the end of our bulletin, here is a reminder
[00:12:33] of the headlines.
[00:12:37] President Ahmed Al-Shara discusses with ministers and officials the launch
[00:12:40] of his projects and the city of Ma'arat
[00:12:42] in Aleppo.
[00:12:46] The Governor of Raqqa affirms to Al-Ikhbariya the work to
[00:12:49] address a number of service and development files
[00:12:52] and the maintenance of 133
[00:12:55] damaged bridges and the expansion of the industrial
[00:12:58] city in the governorate.
[00:13:00] Internal
[00:13:03] security dismantles a drug trafficking network
[00:13:06] and arrests nine of its members in Homs
[00:13:09] and apprehends a general in the Republican Guard
[00:13:13] during the former
[00:13:14] regime.
[00:13:17] With the participation of about 100 companies from various
[00:13:20] governorates, the opening of the Idlib Markets Festival.
[00:13:34] Thank you for your kind attention. May God keep you safe.
[00:14:18] This will restore hope not only to Syrians but to the entire
[00:14:21] region.
[00:14:25] not only serve Syria, but it serves the entire region, and it is a common interest
[00:14:29] for all. Syria now, as I mentioned to
[00:14:33] you, had great opportunities, and many, especially
[00:14:37] Gulf countries, seized them. So, investments began to flow into Syria
[00:14:41] sequentially. Our people in the Emirates
[00:14:44] are keen on opportunities, so Dubai Ports quickly
[00:14:48] invested in Tartous
[00:14:50] port.
[00:15:00] As for us, God willing, we will serve you.
[00:15:05] detention and lost approximately 15 people from
[00:15:08] my family. I am the daughter of a completely
[00:15:11] missing family.
[00:15:16] I hope God gives you patience
[00:15:19] and strength. We are with you until you reach
[00:15:22] the truth.
[00:15:30] Your cause is not a secondary issue for us, nor is it a propaganda
[00:15:34] issue. This is a duty we bear on our shoulders, God willing,
[00:15:37] and we will work on it with all
[00:15:38] sincerity.
[00:15:45] The first delegations that visited Damascus, and the
[00:15:48] German delegation.
[00:15:55] We believe today that there is a great opportunity to develop
[00:15:59] this relationship between Syria
[00:16:01] and Germany.
[00:16:07] A very important opportunity to be utilized by German
[00:16:13] Syrian sectors.
[00:16:25] We have passed the stage of acquaintance and building trust,
[00:16:28] and now is the right time to start
[00:16:30] working.
[00:16:42] And in front of an international scene awaiting Syria's new
[00:16:45] path, the Turkish Republic has taken
[00:16:48] the initiative to be among the countries that have reopened their embassy
[00:16:52] doors in Damascus
[00:16:55] and opened its crossings and supply lines.
[00:16:59] Today, we are talking about
[00:17:02] presidential and ministerial levels, and 40
[00:17:06] agreements and memoranda.
[00:17:16] Syria stands today with its full sovereignty to draw its national
[00:17:20] paths with free will and choose its partnerships
[00:17:23] and direct the compass of its investments and development
[00:17:27] based on its
[00:17:28] supreme interests.
[00:18:09] Welcome to the Syrian Story podcast on Al-Ikhbariya
[00:18:12] channel.
[00:18:16] The most painful and hurtful thing
[00:18:19] for me was when someone told me, "Stop the barrel, then talk
[00:18:22] about freedom." There should have been a provisional government, a military council,
[00:18:26] a Qutb council. No one
[00:18:30] the word. My dead family knew I was dead, and they made
[00:18:33] an apology for me. They came to visit me in Tadmor after 20 years.
[00:18:38] To prepare for the attempted coup against Hafez al-Assad, how
[00:18:41] did you uncover it? Oh, what should I do for him? This is the first time
[00:18:45] I've heard such things. I really don't know what we should do.
[00:18:48] Hasakah. I apologize if I am in this
[00:18:52] episode today. We will revisit the tragic
[00:18:56] memories. The stories we wanted to convey
[00:18:59] the pains of Syrians, their dreams, their aspirations, through
[00:19:03] colors. Syrian Story Podcast on
[00:19:08] Friday on Syrian News
[00:19:11] channel.
[00:19:14] Because the distance between the street and decision-makers
[00:19:17] is a wall that obscures the truth. We
[00:19:21] are here
[00:19:24] and everywhere, bustling with questions
[00:19:27] and problems.
[00:19:32] To carry the voice
[00:19:33] of the people.
[00:19:39] And seek a space for solutions with decision-
[00:19:42] makers.
[00:19:48] A link that shortens the distance
[00:19:51] and bridges
[00:19:53] the gap.
[00:19:55] Because your voice is
[00:19:57] the compass.
[00:20:16] The fourth office to be opened inside Syria
[00:20:20] after the Idlib, Hama,
[00:20:23] this opening comes as a confirmation of
[00:20:26] the state's duties to be present alongside
[00:20:28] the citizen.
[00:21:11] on the table, a journey that summarizes one
[00:21:14] of the simplest meanings of security in every
[00:21:17] Syrian home. This journey, which drought threatened
[00:21:20] for years, is returning today to recover.
[00:21:23] A jump in numbers:
[00:21:27] return to the golden basket, after
[00:21:30] a long war that forced the country to search for wheat outside
[00:21:34] its borders, and a drought that covered the land
[00:21:37] until it reduced its production to about
[00:21:40] 934
[00:21:42] thousand tons in 2025.
[00:21:44] 2025.
[00:21:47] Syria achieves self-sufficiency for 2026.
[00:21:51] 2026
[00:21:56] A season that filled the country's silos with about
[00:22:00] 2.7 million tons of wheat
[00:22:03] tells a story of agricultural recovery that Syrians
[00:22:07] have long awaited. Production
[00:22:10] geography.
[00:22:15] season was not limited to improved rainfall,
[00:22:18] but the return of the eastern and northern governorates to
[00:22:22] their role as a key driver of agricultural
[00:22:26] production contributed to achieving self-sufficiency
[00:22:29] for the first time since 2010,
[00:22:33] after the cultivated areas were distributed across an agricultural
[00:22:36] map exceeding 1.4
[00:22:40] million hectares, as Hasakah governorate topped
[00:22:44] the map with about
[00:22:46] 37% of the total crop,
[00:22:50] followed by Raqqa, Aleppo, and Deir ez-Zor
[00:22:53] as integrated pillars to achieve
[00:22:57] food security. Joint efforts.
[00:23:01] agricultural expansion culminated in the alignment of government
[00:23:04] support plans with the steadfastness of the Syrian farmer
[00:23:08] and his attachment to his land, which transformed
[00:23:11] Syrian fields into a workshop full of mutual
[00:23:15] trust between the state and the farmer.
[00:23:18] Local production forms the strongest shield to protect
[00:23:22] the national currency. Every
[00:23:24] ton of wheat produced locally is
[00:23:28] a direct deduction from the import bill
[00:23:31] in foreign currency and a direct injection of liquidity
[00:23:35] into the hands of thousands of farming families,
[00:23:38] which drives the internal economic
[00:23:41] cycle. The sustainability bet
[00:23:45] beyond the exceptional season.
[00:23:49] The biggest bet does not stop at an exceptional
[00:23:52] rainy season, but rather begins with transforming this
[00:23:55] abundance into a sustainable production system
[00:23:59] that relies on modern technologies and smart
[00:24:01] irrigation to ensure self-sufficiency against any
[00:24:05] future drought waves, because every
[00:24:10] the ground is a step towards more
[00:24:13] stable production and greater
[00:24:17] self-sufficiency.
[00:24:28] Deir Ezzor, which gave yesterday, expects its children today to return
[00:24:32] the favor by working and to make their affiliation with it
[00:24:36] a responsibility, not just pride.
[00:24:48] You are today entrusted with a great trust, and many
[00:24:52] hopes are placed upon you. So be worthy of this trust
[00:24:55] and make what you learned in the training
[00:25:11] Through monitoring, tracking, and collecting information and evidence,
[00:25:14] we were able to arrest a gang that specializes in stealing homes
[00:25:18] and commercial establishments.
