[00:03:05] and investors.
[00:03:11] Today, we are witnessing the launch ceremony of the project
[00:03:14] to digitize and automate Syrian companies
[00:03:17] and agencies, whether local or foreign.
[00:03:21] Of course, this project represents a very
[00:03:24] essential point for the Syrian government,
[00:03:27] especially since this project was supported by
[00:03:30] the American government. The main goal is to attract
[00:03:34] investments during this period, which is after the lifting
[00:03:37] of sanctions, and to build a healthy environment
[00:03:42] where the story begins and an environment that benefits from these investments. Of course, the issue
[00:03:45] of bureaucracy and paperwork was a very
[00:03:49] big obstacle for many companies to be able to come and invest
[00:03:53] in Syria. So this
[00:03:55] requests for several is an essential step that made many companies attracted
[00:03:58] to this step that Syria is now taking. Of course, the project comes
[00:04:02] within the early recovery priorities set by the Ministry

[00:04:18] a data center for the Ministry
[00:04:21] of Industry, Internal Trade, and Consumer
[00:04:24] Protection. The Ministry will supervise the management
[00:04:28] and updating of systems. Internal systems related to company
[00:04:31] registration, we will build on the existing experiences
[00:04:35] and the platform that was launched to register local
[00:04:38] companies.
[00:04:40] There are similar projects. Tomorrow, God willing, we will also
[00:04:43] launch a similar project in digital
[00:04:46] transformation with the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment, aiming
[00:04:50] to archive and digitize the real estate registry in five

[00:05:00] the memorandum of understanding and its executive contract,
[00:05:04] and basically, we started the procurement
[00:05:06] process
[00:05:08] for the data center.

[00:06:42] discussion about the most prominent service and sectoral challenges.
[00:06:46] It also addressed the legislative amendments that the Ministry is working

[00:06:52] governing the work of governorates and administrative
[00:06:55] units.

[00:07:24] Tartous city hosted the book fair for the first
[00:07:28] time after liberation, as part of the Book Week activities, amid
[00:07:31] a remarkable presence from various age groups. The exhibition included
[00:07:35] a dedicated space for books, in addition
[00:07:38] to a space for artistic
[00:07:40] and plastic
[00:07:42] handmade works.
[00:07:48] For the first time after liberation, Tartous hosts the
[00:07:51] Book Fair as part of the Book
[00:07:53] Week activities, amidst a remarkable
[00:07:56] visitors, marking a new chapter
[00:08:00] for knowledge
[00:08:06] exhibition came in the context of our annual program as a directorate,
[00:08:10] and this exhibition
[00:08:14] diverse books of different
[00:08:18] sizes and volumes, and different in their composition,
[00:08:21] and it contains
[00:08:24] and this exhibition contains a special corner
[00:08:27] for free books, meaning books given away for free,
[00:08:30] and there is a corner for used books
[00:08:33] at cheap
[00:08:34] prices.
[00:08:38] The exhibition is very special and important to us. It's been a long time
[00:08:42] since the last one, maybe two or three years, and there was a lot of
[00:08:46] interest in it. As young people, we are very interested
[00:08:49] in reading and new titles, especially since we don't have many
[00:08:52] publishing houses in Tartous. So we resort to exhibitions to see the latest
[00:08:56] books and the latest stories that come out, in addition
[00:08:59] to the fact that they provide us with
[00:09:02] books at affordable prices. There are many titles, many
[00:09:06] offerings, many supports. It's a very nice
[00:09:09] experience, and I really hope it will be present in Tartous more often, meaning
[00:09:13] there will be more than one exhibition. And the numbers at the exhibition indicate
[00:09:16] that Tartous is interested in reading. We,
[00:09:18] as a generation, are considered the generation of technology and laziness, far from anything
[00:09:22] like development and progress. Here at the exhibition, we see many of
[00:09:26] our generation coming, reading, taking books like Albert
[00:09:29] Camus, meaning Dostoevsky's books, meaning
[00:09:33] the books are very nice.

[00:10:17] spaces in the city, which is considered a vital
[00:10:20] outlet for residents.

[00:10:39] city.

[00:14:58] we find a lot of activity. This activity brings together
[00:15:01] investors and owners of software solutions

[00:15:08] to the existing problems in society and between
[00:15:11] government institutions within the governorate that have many
[00:15:15] issues and obstacles they face, whether in their work

[00:17:38] news bulletin. And this is a reminder of the most prominent
[00:17:42] headlines:
[00:17:45] The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates receives a Lebanese government delegation
[00:17:49] in Damascus to discuss strengthening relations, developing coordination, and
[00:17:53] common files between
[00:17:58] the International Day to End Impunity, a legal
[00:18:01] path to prosecute perpetrators of crimes against
[00:18:04] journalists after the martyrdom of nearly 560 media workers
[00:18:08] by the defunct regime.
[00:18:11] Rain floods thousands of dunams
[00:18:14] in Raqqa and Deir Ezzor. Civil Defense warns
[00:18:18] of the risk of war remnants
[00:18:20] drifting.
[00:18:22] Hasakah governorate completes preparations for the return of a new
[00:18:26] batch of displaced Ras al-Ain families. A UN official says that
[00:18:30] more than 16 million Syrians are in need of
[00:18:33] assistance.
[00:19:39] In fact, we welcome the President and the accompanying delegation.
[00:19:43] And this is a confirmation of the strength and solidity of
[00:19:47] the relationship between Iraq and Syria. And God willing,
[00:19:50] this will be a good start for future and strategic projects,
[00:19:53] God willing.
[00:19:59] The two countries have very strong historical ties. There are also
[00:20:02] economic ties.
[00:20:12] We are very happy with this
[00:20:14] warm reception, and we see your hearts
[00:20:18] embraced us before your eyes. Geography says
[00:20:22] the neighbor is the closest home, but wisdom
[00:20:25] says the closest blood. And God willing, the blood
[00:20:28] of Iraq and the blood of Syria is one blood, and perhaps our blood
[00:20:31] is two, and more, because we have shed a lot of blood.
[00:20:35] We and you, God willing, are one people
[00:20:38] living in two countries. We want to revive our history,
[00:20:42] we want to restore economic cooperation,
[00:20:45] political cooperation,
[00:20:48] whether at the Arab level or the Islamic world.
[00:20:51] Your security is our security,
[00:20:55] and vice versa. And God willing, we await
[00:20:58] your coming soon to honor us in your second home,
[00:21:02] and you will be the hosts, and we are the guests.
[00:21:05] God bless you. Okay.
[00:21:09] So
[00:21:11] it is very important to invest in your presence today
[00:21:15] in your second country, Damascus, so that
[00:21:18] we can start a roadmap. God willing, it will be long and sustainable.
[00:21:39] The flag of yellow
[00:21:41] on the white flag on a settler's
[00:21:45] patience, your patience, a settler's patience, your patience, a people's
[00:21:49] difference.
[00:22:11] Syria is free and will remain
[00:22:13] free.
[00:22:18] Syria is one, united. The Syrian people, with all
[00:22:21] their components, are one.
[00:22:36] Today is a literal translation of a real
[00:22:39] start to a project that was agreed upon with the
[00:22:41] European Union
[00:22:47] in order for work to be done on applying
[00:22:51] this system related to disaster risk reduction.
[00:23:12] We will have a clear map
[00:23:14] for mines in Syria and contaminated
[00:23:18] areas.
[00:23:33] With the dawn of morning,
[00:23:36] thousands of stories and news are born
[00:23:39] that shape the day and touch people's
[00:23:42] lives.
[00:23:52] While what happens
[00:23:55] and what matters for you
[00:23:57] to know.
[00:24:02] We read the headlines, we discuss the most important files,
[00:24:05] and we bring you a concentrated
[00:24:09] summary.
[00:24:15] We approach the stories that deserve to be
[00:24:18] told. From economy and services to
[00:24:22] humanitarian initiatives,
[00:24:23] we
[00:24:27] bring you their full details this morning,
[00:24:32] on Syrian News
[00:24:33] Channel.
[00:24:41] Because the distance between the street and decision-makers
[00:24:45] is a wall that hides the truth.
[00:24:48] We are here.
[00:24:51] And everywhere is buzzing with questions
[00:24:54] and problems.
[00:25:00] To carry the voice
[00:25:01] of the people,
[00:25:06] and look for a space for solutions with decision-makers.
[00:25:10] A link
[00:25:15] that shortens the distance and
[00:25:18] bridges the gap,
[00:25:20] because
[00:25:23] your voice is
[00:25:25] the compass.
[00:25:32] Welcome to The Syrian Story podcast on the Syrian
[00:25:35] News Channel.
[00:25:39] The most painful
[00:25:41] thing for me was when someone told me, "Stop the barrel bomb, then talk to me
[00:25:45] about freedom." There should have been a provisional government, a military
[00:25:49] council, a judicial council. No one is smarter than the people. The people
[00:25:53] turned out to be smarter than the word on the basis that my family knew
[00:25:56] I was dead, so they organized a condolences visit for me. A visit that destroyed
[00:25:59] after 20 years to prepare for the topic.
[00:26:10] By God, I don't know what we're going to do with ourselves. I expected the revolution to come from Hasakah, I
[00:26:13] apologize if in this episode today
[00:26:16] we are going to revisit the tragic memories, the stories.
[00:26:20] We wanted to convey the pains of Syrians,
[00:26:24] their dreams, their aspirations through colors.
[00:26:27] The Syrian Story podcast at 9:00
[00:26:30] PM on Friday on the Syrian News Channel.
[00:27:13] Implementation of the Granada Bridge rehabilitation project.
[00:27:33] Work will begin on the Mayadeen Bridge.
[00:27:46] The technical services machinery, in cooperation with emergency
[00:27:49] and disaster workshops, is rehabilitating and restoring the earthen
[00:27:52] bridge.
[00:27:56] We are in the final stages of the Al-Rasheed Bridge rehabilitation
[00:27:59] works.
[00:28:27] A cordon surrounds the crime
[00:28:30] scene.
[00:28:33] To begin the story of revealing the truth, a lens
[00:28:37] documents,
[00:28:40] and vigilance precedes
[00:28:42] the steps.
[00:28:48] Organization guides criminal work towards accurate
[00:28:51] investigation and institutional
[00:28:54] performance, comprehensive follow-up across
[00:28:57] all governorates.

[00:29:14] وعداله تتحقق.
[00:30:13] In Homs Governorate, the General Intelligence thwarts a terrorist
[00:30:17] plot to target the oil refinery
[00:30:20] there. This is something that might be natural
[00:30:24] given the events that the country is going
[00:30:26] through. However, what is unnatural is that
[00:30:30] this news comes in the context of a series
[00:30:33] of previous attacks on energy sites
[00:30:36] and lines there. There is also something
[00:30:40] else that happened concurrently. The General Intelligence
[00:30:43] dismantled a cell belonging to ISIS in Deir
[00:30:47] Ezzor. What is important about this news? The
[00:30:51] important thing is that this cell had carried
[00:30:54] out a series of assassinations, and the
[00:30:57] latest was the targeting of a Ministry member.
