[00:00:00] Saddam Haftar and his deputy [00:00:03] phones or taking pictures in his father, who is the strongman there, a military-security environment. [00:00:05] And what is the importance of the presence [00:00:09] of the head of the intelligence agency [00:00:10] this but in eastern Libya they realized that this was not enough, [00:00:14] meaning that there must be openness to [00:00:17] the world to remove [00:00:19] we benefit, perhaps, from animosities, and that eastern Libya needs [00:00:20] communities. From this to improve the economic situation there, [00:00:22] especially after the floods that affected the country almost [00:00:26] three years ago. One of Khalifa Haftar's sons, Khaled, also [00:00:30] takes responsibility or the body concerned with reconstruction there. There is a strong [00:00:33] limit for Turkey also in this regard, meaning that economic [00:00:36] and social conditions must be improved, while removing the military option, while removing separatist [00:00:40] plans. Attention must be paid to [00:00:43] vital and economic-social issues. This is part of the openness to [00:00:47] Turkey and to Syria also, meaning that there is a leadership of a military [00:00:50] security nature. There are pending issues [00:00:53] and heavy rains were witnessed yesterday in of a security nature between Syria [00:00:57] and Libya, or to the east, the east was closer to the fallen [00:01:01] Bashar al-Assad regime, even there was talk of sending [00:01:05] We will expand more on this fighters, sending support to the Bashar [00:01:08] al-Assad regime. Now this page has been turned. [00:01:11] There are talks about [00:01:14] Mr. Youssef, to this missing people in Syria that must be worked on, and there [00:01:18] hour. Before we discuss are talks also about and this is an important file, about the issue of migration, meaning that it is [00:01:22] Forum in Tunisia, I'd like to start unfortunately not possible in many [00:01:24] Every time this Arab systems and authorities to go to healthy [00:01:27] and normal relations in the diplomatic aspect that we are moving away from, the economic [00:01:31] and social aspect, without there being a solid [00:01:35] the goal of which is to guide security base. In recent years, when a while ago the head [00:01:38] of the American intelligence agency went to Moscow, [00:01:42] in response here Ibrahim Kalin is performing major tasks, meaning that in [00:01:47] holding meetings with recent years, security agencies, in light of increasing problems and sometimes even [00:01:50] estrangement or coldness, are performing tasks of a diplomatic nature. [00:01:53] So, a solid [00:01:55] security base must be established. [00:01:57] The new Syrian one is not likely to create a problem. [00:02:00] Neither for eastern Libya, nor for Libya, nor for any of the [00:02:04] Arab countries. Meaning that there must be reassurance and resolution [00:02:07] of outstanding security problems to move towards relations [00:02:13] to avoid this or to the vast space of relations and interests, which are solid. And from here comes the importance [00:02:16] of the presence of the head of the intelligence agency. We are talking about a leadership that is also of a military [00:02:21] measure is to stay security nature. We are talking about outstanding issues in relation to the relationship with the intelligence [00:02:25] agencies, with the regime, with the fallen regime. We are talking about missing people. [00:02:29] We are talking about [00:02:35] these visits to Libya must be followed by [00:02:38] resolving these problems and outstanding issues. [00:02:41] And they will be resolved, God willing, [00:02:44] winds that can contribute to within the diplomatic efforts. Excuse me [00:02:46] for interrupting, but the time allocated for this file is over. Many thanks, [00:02:52] to prevent Dr. Majed Al-Azzam, researcher in strategic issues, my guest from Istanbul, Turkey, [00:02:55] and thanks also to Professor Ahmed Zeitoun, political [00:02:58] researcher, my guest from the Qatari capital, Doha. [00:03:01] Thank you very much [00:03:04] in coordination with to both of you. [00:03:08] and Disaster Management to deal with [00:03:12] In our second file, ensuring public [00:03:15] safety and protecting lives [00:03:17] that it is impossible to eliminate and property does not stop at the limits [00:03:20] always begins with of immediate field response, but [00:03:22] goes beyond that to become [00:03:25] Amidst this [00:03:26] many an integrated mix of proactive planning locally and constructive partnership internationally. [00:03:30] From this perspective, the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster [00:03:33] rains and heavy rains, especially Management is moving on two parallel [00:03:36] tracks that complement [00:03:39] areas. Of course, based on each other. While the ministry mobilizes its awareness [00:03:42] tools and technical cadres internally to issue [00:03:49] that always occur in low-pressure systems this accurate and precautionary warnings and instructions that keep pace with the current [00:03:51] unstable weather conditions in Syria, it extends its diplomatic arm towards [00:03:55] the Tunisian capital to participate in formulating [00:03:57] the features of a unified Arab strategy [00:04:01] to reduce disaster risks, believing that climate [00:04:04] challenges have become cross-border and require [00:04:09] authorities responsible for this a joint organizational thought. [00:04:11] opening water channels on Welcome to our second news hour and its second file. [00:04:18] services [00:04:24] accept that our people remain in [00:04:29] management there is also concerned with this [00:04:34] To ensure public safety and reduce the repercussions of weather [00:04:38] the infrastructure of phenomena, the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management warned of [00:04:41] unstable weather conditions accompanied by random [00:04:44] thunderstorms, hail, [00:04:47] and downburst [00:04:49] enhancing security and stability in winds raising dust, as the impact is concentrated in the eastern [00:04:52] and southern regions, followed by the center of the country, the northwest, [00:04:56] and the Jazira. Based on that, the early warning department [00:04:59] stressed the need for citizens [00:05:02] to adhere to precautionary measures, most notably staying away from [00:05:05] valleys and depressions, and avoiding crossing [00:05:09] waterways or walking on [00:05:11] hours. In flooded roads. And refraining from using [00:05:15] open places during lightning, as well as [00:05:18] protecting property by disconnecting solar power systems [00:05:22] and checking the readiness of vehicles, while avoiding marine activities. [00:05:25] And in the context of enhancing proactive action, [00:05:28] the ministry participated in the twelfth meeting of the Arab Partnership [00:05:32] for Disaster Risk Reduction in Tunisia, [00:05:35] held under the slogan "Enhancing Partnerships for Risk-Aware [00:05:38] Development," paving the way [00:05:41] for Syria's participation in the Second Arab Early [00:05:45] Warning and Disaster Preparedness Forum, which aims to develop [00:05:48] early warning systems and build cross-border [00:05:51] regional cooperation. Integrated field measures, [00:05:55] in parallel with participation in international forums, embody [00:05:58] the ministry's strategy based on balancing immediate [00:06:02] internal awareness and building sustainable [00:06:05] regional partnerships with the aim of raising the efficiency [00:06:08] of crisis response and protecting lives [00:06:12] and property. [00:06:17] file. Mr. Youssef Azzo, Head of the Field Operations Department [00:06:21] at the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management from Aleppo, joins us. Welcome, [00:06:26] second file of this news [00:06:30] the preparations and this participation in the Early Warning [00:06:34] with you. At the beginning of this hour, we received breaking news: [00:06:38] 271 cases of suffocation and shortness of breath in the city [00:06:41] of Deir Ezzor as a result of the dusty [00:06:45] and hazy weather conditions affecting the eastern [00:06:48] region. Perhaps Deir Ezzor How can we deal with these [00:06:52] weather conditions? Firstly, what are the guidelines provided [00:06:55] to citizens to deal with [00:06:58] such weather conditions and avoid suffocation and shortness [00:07:09] as general guidelines, we, the Ministry of Emergency [00:07:13] and Disaster Management, have been working on them previously [00:07:16] in awareness campaigns, in addition to [00:07:19] the warnings issued on social media. But currently, we are [00:07:23] experiencing a low-pressure [00:07:25] system or a dust storm in the Deir Ezzor [00:07:29] area and the surrounding areas. Of course, the best [00:07:34] indoors. However, if a person [00:07:37] has to go out, they should wear a mask to avoid [00:07:41] suffocation, especially [00:07:44] those who suffer from asthma. Of course, we face [00:07:47] many problems with this, especially in the eastern regions [00:07:50] where there are sandstorms or [00:07:53] strong [00:07:56] dust storms. Of course, [00:08:00] the most important measure is to wear masks [00:08:04] suffocation. Yes. Well, now [00:08:07] with these weather conditions [00:08:10] and unstable conditions now in Syria, we have not yet started [00:08:14] the winter season. What are the preparations [00:08:17] at the Ministry of Emergency [00:08:20] future challenges resulting from [00:08:24] the unstable conditions? [00:08:27] Of course, at the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management, our work [00:08:32] proactive plans for all tasks. Last [00:08:36] year, we had responses to the low-pressure [00:08:40] system, to snowstorms, [00:08:42] in addition to torrential [00:08:46] in the northern and northwestern regions of Idlib [00:08:49] and the camps in these [00:08:52] previous responses, a proactive plan was [00:08:55] put in place to prepare to face [00:08:59] year, God willing. But these [00:09:03] preparations began with awareness campaigns, in addition [00:09:06] to removing most of the areas that might [00:09:10] be exposed to danger in the same place. [00:09:12] From raising embankments to changing the course [00:09:16] of the runoff for rains in the mountainous [00:09:20] areas, in addition to [00:09:23] the roads to prevent [00:09:26] water accumulation on the roads, which causes obstruction [00:09:29] and road closures, especially international [00:09:32] roads or roads between governorates. [00:09:35] So, we are currently working on [00:09:39] awareness regarding potential risks and their occurrence, [00:09:43] through responses to low-pressure systems, [00:09:46] in addition to prior work for early [00:09:49] preparedness to avoid the occurrence [00:09:52] of these risks in these areas. Of course, the work [00:09:56] is extensive. Well, Mr. Youssef, how does the ministry [00:09:59] today ensure the accuracy of weather warnings [00:10:03] and their timely delivery to citizens? [00:10:06] Of course, we have an Early [00:10:08] Warning Department. [00:10:12] It works in coordination with the Meteorological [00:10:15] Department to obtain all data and warnings [00:10:19] about weather conditions. Immediately, [00:10:21] operations rooms within the Ministry of Emergency [00:10:25] and within the directorates are announced, in addition [00:10:29] to social media (Facebook, Telegram, [00:10:32] and WhatsApp) regarding [00:10:35] matter of warnings. However, today, our Ministry [00:10:39] of Disaster Management's operations rooms within [00:10:42] the directorates take these warnings [00:10:46] seriously, in addition to warning the areas [00:10:49] most exposed to danger. Meaning, today, we might [00:10:52] have the northern region and the oil. [00:10:56] The Azaz region or the entire northern border region. The operations [00:11:00] rooms there or those responsible for these areas send these [00:11:04] warnings to the region or to the dignitaries within [00:11:07] the region, in addition to expanding relationships [00:11:11] and communications through social media. [00:11:15] Unstable weather conditions [00:11:18] the northern region, this region extending from northern Idlib [00:11:22] to northern Aleppo. Unfortunately, [00:11:26] this region still has [00:11:29] camps. To this moment, [00:11:32] thousands of families reside in these tents, which, as you know, do not protect [00:11:36] against rain or summer heat. Yesterday, [00:11:39] we heard and saw appeals [00:11:43] from inside the camps. There were camps that were [00:11:46] filled with water. [00:11:49] scene repeats. It is not your specialty, but how is [00:11:53] coordination done between the concerned authorities to ensure rapid [00:11:56] response, at least? You are concerned [00:12:00] with responding to address these [00:12:03] situations. How can this speed [00:12:07] be ensured among the concerned authorities? [00:12:10] Okay, dear brother, regarding this matter, you mentioned [00:12:14] that our response is urgent. [00:12:17] However, after each response, the locations [00:12:20] and the type of service work [00:12:23] that can be provided by other entities [00:12:26] such as local councils or [00:12:30] other organizations are determined. Of course, coordination [00:12:33] is made with them regarding these works or how [00:12:38] mistake through the works that need to be [00:12:41] done and that need to be started. Of course, [00:12:45] the camps, unfortunately, are still [00:12:49] existing, still present, and the mistake is still recurring [00:12:52] due to the location of the camps, [00:12:56] the poor infrastructure or lack of infrastructure within [00:13:00] the camps, in addition to them [00:13:03] being located on mountain slopes, and mountain slopes are the areas [00:13:07] most exposed to flash floods due to [00:13:10] heavy rains. So, today we are talking about [00:13:13] areas where the danger is present, [00:13:16] the danger is recurring constantly. [00:13:19] No matter what measures and proactive [00:13:22] actions we take, this [00:13:25] danger will inevitably occur. However, currently, the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management, [00:13:29] the Ministry of Local Administration and organizations, [00:13:33] is working to avoid some of the dangers [00:13:36] in some camps. But today we cannot say [00:13:42] this place because the existence of the camp in a dangerous [00:13:45] area means that there are problems that cannot be solved, they are [00:13:48] fundamental. It is possible that one or many [00:13:52] of the camp locations are unsuitable and are in a low-lying [00:13:55] area. This means [00:13:58] they are vulnerable to these floods and rains. However, a short while ago, [00:14:01] you said that we identify these locations to ensure rapid response. God bless [00:14:05] you, and this is your main task. But with whom [00:14:08] do you coordinate to avoid some of these disasters [00:14:14] the camps? [00:14:16] Of course, today we are building a network of relationships between all [00:14:20] stakeholders from the local [00:14:23] authorities present, in addition to [00:14:26] the Ministry of Development, in addition to the local councils, in addition [00:14:30] to the Ministry of Health, and all [00:14:34] matter. Today we are not coordinating with one entity. All [00:14:37] stakeholders have prior tasks that can be [00:14:41] prepared, from ambulance to [00:14:45] services departments, in addition to [00:14:47] local authorities, the people of the region. Today, [00:14:50] the camp [00:14:54] matter. So, coordination takes place between all entities [00:14:58] through the operations rooms available at the Ministry of Emergency [00:15:01] and Disaster Management, and the coordination of work sequentially to avoid [00:15:05] all mistakes or reduce these risks as much [00:15:08] as possible through rapid response within [00:15:12] these areas that we have previously warned about, [00:15:15] in addition to risk management, which identifies the types [00:15:19] of potential risks in these [00:15:43] Youssef Azzo, my guest from Aleppo. There is your participation, the Ministry [00:15:47] of Emergency and Disaster Management, in the Early [00:15:49] Warning Forum in Tunisia. [00:15:53] How can [00:15:57] technology and modern systems from this participation, and what is the importance [00:16:01] of this participation regionally, and what are the challenges that [00:16:04] Arab countries face in dealing and building an integrated [00:16:07] system to confront disasters? [00:16:11] Of course, the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management is working very [00:16:14] hard to raise [00:16:17] the response and warning levels [00:16:20] to reach a stage where information and alerts [00:16:24] are completely accurate for the sake of [00:16:27] rapid response. Today we are participating in several conferences and [00:16:31] several [00:16:33] meetings with other neighboring Arab [00:16:36] and non-Arab countries to develop this [00:16:39] system, in addition to gaining expertise [00:16:43] and working on a wider scale [00:16:46] between Arab countries and countries [00:16:49] surrounding Syria. Of course, this matter is very important [00:16:52] for inside Syria and the surrounding countries [00:16:56] for exchanging knowledge, determining more [00:16:59] accurate information, gaining expertise, [00:17:03] and in the field of technical matters, advanced [00:17:06] devices. This is what will benefit us more. [00:17:09] Today we came out of a 15-year [00:17:12] war. We have equipment that [00:17:15] is not very [00:17:17] advanced compared to other countries. Today we [00:17:21] are attending these conferences and [00:17:25] other countries to try to bring these advanced devices [00:17:28] and have more accurate data [00:17:31] and information. Your efforts are appreciated, [00:17:35] Mr. Youssef, and as you mentioned, these are tools that [00:17:38] are perhaps not very advanced [00:17:41] to deal with and respond to these disasters [00:17:44] quickly. But great efforts [00:17:48] are witnessed by all the Syrian people, [00:17:51] especially during the earthquake days. You [00:17:54] dealt with it greatly and in a very [00:17:57] short time to deal with that great disaster [00:18:01] then. Whoever witnessed it knows that. Many thanks [00:18:04] to you, Mr. Youssef Azzo, Head of the Field Operations Department [00:18:07] at the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management, our dear guest from Aleppo. Thank [00:18:11] you. This news hour concludes, dear viewers. Our thanks [00:18:15] are always and forever extended to you. I am Abdul Razzaq [00:18:18] Jaafar. Peace be upon you and God's mercy. [00:19:01] Last year, you said that Syria has returned. But [00:19:04] today I say that Syria is rising. [00:19:16] Syria has begun its journey of recovery and resurgence, accelerating its steady [00:19:19] pace. The country has been unified from its north to its south, [00:19:23] and [00:19:26] weapons have been collected, and the institutions of security [00:19:28] and the army have been rebuilt. [00:19:33] Sanctions have been lifted, and restrictions have been removed. [00:19:36] Projects have been launched for construction, reconstruction, [00:19:40] and drugs have been fought, and the transitional [00:19:43] justice process has begun. [00:19:50] Nearly 100 countries have opened communication [00:19:53] channels with us. [00:19:58] Our capital has become home to nearly 60 diplomatic [00:20:01] missions, and visits to Syria have begun to restore its position [00:20:05] among nations and states. [00:20:09] An international land, sea, [00:20:12] and air trade corridor. [00:20:15] We came to you at the 80th session to announce our return, [00:20:18] and today we stand at the 81st session to confirm [00:20:22] the reality of progress and resurgence. And at the 82nd [00:20:25] session, we will meet again [00:20:28] to reap together the fruits of a strategic [00:20:30] استراتيجيه [00:20:35] partnership in confronting organized and cyber crimes. [00:20:39] A firm international will stands to dismantle [00:20:42] the causes of crime. Syria [00:20:45] enters a new national phase in which it seeks to [00:20:48] rebuild state institutions on [00:20:52] the basis of the rule of law and protection of society. The [00:20:55] 15th United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention [00:20:58] in the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi [00:21:02] brings together decision-makers to dismantle security challenges [00:21:05] and establish a new charter for protecting [00:21:10] international event, Syria embodies its vision [00:21:13] and determination to build a state governed [00:21:17] by law. Our conference [00:21:21] today is held at a stage witnessing profound transformations in the nature of crime [00:21:24] and the means of committing it. [00:21:27] The Syrian Arab Republic looks forward to the Abu Dhabi [00:21:31] Declaration establishing a new stage of joint [00:21:34] international action in which commitments are transformed into practical cooperation. [00:22:02] Welcome to the Syrian Story Podcast on Syrian News TV. [00:24:03] Around the clock, Syrian ports [00:24:06] and harbors are bustling with activity and are fully [00:24:10] prepared to receive the largest international merchant ships. [00:24:15] continuous logistical activity and continuous [00:24:18] work, the ports have made a real [00:24:22] maritime leap thanks to their cadres who manage navigation [00:24:25] with the highest levels of professionalism. And with the modernization [00:24:29] of equipment and the adoption of the latest technological mechanisms [00:24:33] and international safety standards, [00:24:36] the pace of work accelerates, so that [00:24:40] every day that passes is a step closer towards [00:24:43] a better future. [00:24:46] Seaports are Syria's lifeline to [00:25:06] no, our work in the camps is not just a duty, it is [00:25:09] a commitment. We are the sons of these camps and we do not [00:25:14] the camps. [00:25:23] A number of projects have been launched to approximately rebuild [00:25:28] schools and clinics. As [00:25:31] you heard, there are about 650 schools rehabilitated in [00:25:35] Idlib. [00:25:44] Forest fires. We have, until now, [00:25:46] approximately about [00:25:50] 450 fires [00:25:53] in the forests. [00:25:55] No, the longest fire extended for six [00:26:01] the past nine months, I was. We will work to [00:26:03] create the governance mechanism that controls [00:26:07] and organizes the work of mines in Syria. [00:30:20] Welcome, dear viewers, to a news hour where we shed light on the latest [00:30:23] developments in Yemen. But before that, let's start with this [00:30:27] summary. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Asaad Al-Shaibani, met with the Prime [00:30:30] Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Qatar, Sheikh [00:30:34] Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. During the meeting, the two sides discussed [00:30:38] the latest regional developments and ways to enhance bilateral [00:30:41] cooperation and develop relations between the two sisterly countries, [00:30:45] emphasizing the importance of increasing coordination and joint [00:30:48] consultation to contribute to [00:30:51] the region.
