[00:00:02] It means that the rent payment was not made by the tenant and the landlord,
[00:00:06] caused by motorcycles occur on but today you pay the rent to
[00:00:08] the real estate office. It is responsible for taking
[00:00:12] the rent, and as I mentioned, it is not for one or two months,
[00:00:16] but sometimes, and often,
[00:00:19] the payment is annual. This is an economic
[00:00:24] since there are several demands from and social issue that is linked.
[00:00:26] This is a problem in itself. Even someone who can afford a monthly rent
[00:00:30] of a relatively large amount may not be able to afford
[00:00:39] talk about a real economic recovery let's say, at a time when
[00:00:42] citizens find it difficult to secure housing, and project owners
[00:00:46] find it difficult to maintain their homes.
[00:00:52] also famous for transporting goods on I will go to Aleppo
[00:00:54] camels to many with a final question to our correspondent there,
[00:00:56] And Hamed Al-Ali. Hamed, the talk is also about these high rents and their reasons,
[00:01:00] and the increase in demand compared to
[00:01:02] the correspondents' tour. The discussion the number of existing buildings or those that are being
[00:01:05] built. Has the movement of the sales market
[00:01:08] affected the rental market and led
[00:01:11] to an increase in prices as well, or is each market
[00:01:15] separate from the other and has no
[00:01:20] Many of the Shawaghira effect?
[00:01:22] Yes, Rama, this matter is directly related to the fact that there are a large
[00:01:26] number of families outside Syria who have purchased
[00:01:29] a number of houses and residential apartments and did not
[00:01:32] rent them out, but rather froze them, which led
[00:01:35] to the disruption
[00:01:38] that they will of rents for these residential
[00:01:39] not be fined or apartments. In contrast, as my colleague
[00:01:43] Yazan mentioned,
[00:01:47] should make fun of the people. The people turned out to be smarter than there is also a problem in the real estate offices, which is
[00:01:51] that the owners of the real estate offices control rents
[00:01:55] by raising them, especially since payment is made inside the real estate
[00:01:58] offices. The commission for the office owner is
[00:02:02] I met the head of the emergency department at one month's rent, as is customary in the region.
[00:02:05] There is also an increase in house rents after
[00:02:09] the owner of the residence
[00:02:11] similar to the sound of fireworks. or the owner of the apartment or commercial shop
[00:02:14] sets a certain price
[00:02:17] and asks the property
[00:02:20] since the roads are not in owner to set the price he wants and takes it for himself. This has also negatively
[00:02:24] affected rents in
[00:02:26] the region. There is control, lack
[00:02:30] of regulation for real estate office owners. This matter
[00:02:33] falls on the city councils and the governorate so that
[00:02:37] solutions can be found and rents
[00:02:40] and rental allowances in the governorate in general
[00:02:43] and in all
[00:03:06] Its roots are deeply In our second file, dear viewers,
[00:03:08] Daraa governorate witnessed more than a thousand traffic accidents
[00:03:12] in one month, a large percentage of which were related to motorcycles,
[00:03:16] which is an indicator that reflects the escalation
[00:03:19] of traffic accident risks and the
[00:03:23] our stance, whether at human and material losses they cause. These
[00:03:26] figures highlight the importance of adhering to rules
[00:03:30] and reducing incorrect traffic behaviors, especially
[00:03:34] reckless driving and excessive speed.
[00:03:44] this neighborhood offered many As for these motorcycles,
[00:03:48] they are causing annoyance to citizens day
[00:03:50] and night, and no one is adhering to the rules or doing
[00:03:55] Tartous Governorate, especially on their work. Most of them are using them for playing and going
[00:03:58] back and forth. No one, as they say,
[00:04:04] of motorcycles cares about anyone. He passes by you as if he doesn't care about you or anyone
[00:04:08] else. This phenomenon must be combated.
[00:04:10] As for motorcycles, there are people who use them for
[00:04:14] work, for going back and forth, meaning they are disciplined. But most people are not disciplined.
[00:04:17] And there are people who don't care about anyone
[00:04:29] than 300 traffic accident cases
[00:04:33] in October 2026. Most of these accidents were
[00:04:36] motorcycle accidents due to non-compliance with safety rules
[00:04:40] and reckless driving within populated
[00:04:43] and crowded areas.
[00:04:47] In Daraa Traffic Branch, the accident statistics
[00:04:51] from the beginning of the year until
[00:04:53] the use of motorcycles is no now reached 898 traffic accidents. Most
[00:04:57] of these accidents resulted in injuries
[00:05:01] and material damage, unfortunately leaving
[00:05:03] about 515 injuries
[00:05:07] and 92 deaths. Also, 60% of the accidents
[00:05:10] were due to motorcycles, which claimed most
[00:05:13] of the lives and caused injuries.
[00:05:17] And we, in the Traffic Branch, always,
[00:05:20] under the directives of the Security Commander and the implementation of the
[00:05:24] Governor's decision, spare no effort in following
[00:05:28] up on traffic conditions and seizing violating motorcycles. The number
[00:05:31] of motorcycles impounded in our impound
[00:05:34] lot reached 282 motorcycles
[00:05:37] for various
[00:05:39] violations.
[00:05:44] So, a sentence said by one of the people who appeared in the report, dear viewers, is that whoever
[00:05:48] causes these accidents doesn't care about himself or others, and this is
[00:05:52] one of the main reasons for traffic accidents
[00:05:55] resulting from the excessive use
[00:05:58] of motorcycles, whether in cities
[00:06:02] or even in rural areas. To talk more about this file,
[00:06:06] dear viewers, we are joined first from Tartous by Al-Ekhbariya correspondent
[00:06:09] Yumma Khaddam. Welcome, Yumma, to
[00:06:15] about traffic accidents that occur
[00:06:18] daily never ends, and the main cause of them, primarily,
[00:06:22] is reckless driving or, as it is said in common parlance,
[00:06:25] due to the misuse of motorcycles. How is the situation in Tartous
[00:06:29] and its countryside?
[00:06:36] Yes, Rama, at the beginning of my speech, I would like to point out
[00:06:40] that there is a large category of people who own motorcycles
[00:06:44] as a means of transportation, especially with the high
[00:06:48] cost of cars and the difficulty of acquiring them, or as a means
[00:06:51] of work and earning income, especially with the difficulty of finding
[00:06:54] a job at this time. However, there is a large category
[00:06:58] of teenagers and young people who drive
[00:07:01] motorcycles recklessly and may
[00:07:04] pose a great danger, a great danger to
[00:07:08] their lives or to the lives of pedestrians. In addition,
[00:07:11] there are also those who make modifications to what
[00:07:14] is called the exhaust to make the motorcycle
[00:07:18] emit an annoying
[00:07:21] noise
[00:07:24] We hear this sound a lot, especially in the evening
[00:07:27] and at night. It could be in celebratory convoys or
[00:07:31] a wedding convoy or even without a convoy,
[00:07:35] but this causes panic among children
[00:07:38] and anxiety and stress among families.
[00:07:42] In addition to that, the acrobatic movements and the issue
[00:07:46] of reckless driving that we see a lot here
[00:07:49] in Tartous Governorate, whether in cities or rural areas. However,
[00:07:54] on the international highway and on main roads
[00:07:57] and at the peak of congestion.
[00:08:01] In addition, there is also the overtaking of cars to the right
[00:08:04] and left in a reckless and irrational
[00:08:08] manner. This poses
[00:08:11] families. If the motorcycle rider does not care about his life,
[00:08:15] then the matter is very dangerous. Yes, Yumma, are there any steps
[00:08:18] taken by Tartous Governorate to curb this
[00:08:20] phenomenon?
[00:08:26] Yes, Rama, frankly, the Traffic Branch here in Tartous Governorate
[00:08:30] continues to publish awareness posts on social
[00:08:33] media platforms, and there are also campaigns
[00:08:36] from time to time, but these campaigns are on a small
[00:08:40] scale, targeting unlicensed motorcycles
[00:08:44] or reckless driving. However,
[00:08:47] these campaigns
[00:08:50] are not widespread or available in all areas. In addition,
[00:08:53] according to what the concerned authorities told us, there will be a major
[00:08:57] campaign in the coming period against motorcycles,
[00:09:01] specifically against these dangerous stunts performed by
[00:09:04] motorcycle riders in
[00:09:08] the corniche and in crowded
[00:09:11] areas. As I mentioned, we have a huge number
[00:09:16] here in Tartous Governorate. However, there are
[00:09:19] two categories: one category owns these motorcycles as a means of transportation
[00:09:23] or work, and another category, mostly teenagers,
[00:09:26] and those under 18,
[00:09:30] who ride these motorcycles. We might even
[00:09:33] see a motorcycle or a motorcycle rider
[00:09:36] driving against traffic,
[00:09:40] against the flow of
[00:09:42] traffic. This causes accidents, and here in
[00:09:46] Tartous Governorate, we hear about a motorcycle accident
[00:09:49] almost every now and then, which results in injuries
[00:09:52] and deaths for young people and teenagers. Yes, I will go
[00:09:55] to Deir Ezzor and our correspondent Ahmed Al-Atra, who has joined us now, and also
[00:09:59] in Idlib, our correspondent Mohammed Aslan has joined us. Ahmed Al-Atra,
[00:10:03] the situation in Deir Ezzor regarding
[00:10:06] different from any other governorate in Syria. The spread
[00:10:09] of motorcycles and their use there
[00:10:12] are causing many accidents. How does Deir Ezzor Governorate
[00:10:15] deal with traffic accidents in general
[00:10:18] and accidents resulting from the use of motorcycles in particular?
[00:10:22] Great efforts.
[00:10:28] And the traffic branch in Deir Ezzor in general to curb this phenomenon,
[00:10:32] especially among teenagers. These efforts, of course,
[00:10:36] face the reality that there are those
[00:10:39] who work with these motorcycles, there are those who
[00:10:42] earn their living from these motorcycles, and they use these motorcycles for transportation
[00:10:46] due to the high prices of fuel for cars or
[00:10:50] their inability to own a car. Of course, these efforts
[00:10:53] are represented by the issue of. The first issue is the guidance issue. Of course,
[00:10:57] traffic officers in general at the city's roundabouts
[00:11:00] guide drivers to
[00:11:04] slow down. But if there
[00:11:07] is any violation in the matter of
[00:11:11] changing the specifications of the exhaust or the muffler of
[00:11:14] the motorcycle, the police officer impounds
[00:11:17] this motorcycle directly.
[00:11:21] this matter is known to all residents of Deir Ezzor, especially in
[00:11:25] the street or the main streets, especially in Siam Fouad Street,
[00:11:28] the market street or the largest commercial market in
[00:11:32] this city. As for patrols in general, there are
[00:11:35] patrols at the city entrances, there are patrols also in
[00:11:38] the heart of the city to impound motorcycles
[00:11:41] that make noise and disturb residents, especially
[00:11:45] those who have changed the specifications of these
[00:11:49] motorcycles. Other efforts also
[00:11:52] from the Directorate of Transport. The Directorate of Transport has started licensing
[00:11:56] or issuing special papers and special
[00:11:58] license plates for motorcycles so that their owners can be sure
[00:12:04] impounded due to the lack of papers and a license plate
[00:12:08] for this motorcycle. This will limit
[00:12:12] the issue of reckless driving or
[00:12:15] using the motorcycle for purposes other than its usual use to disturb
[00:12:18] people. The third effort is by the Directorate of Health.
[00:12:22] The Directorate of Health, of course, since
[00:12:27] the national hospital, she confirmed that there are more than 20 injuries daily
[00:12:31] as a result of motorcycle accidents. These
[00:12:34] days, these accidents have decreased, but they have not ended.
[00:12:38] Permanently, the issue of excessive speed, away from the issue of noise,
[00:12:42] excessive speed on the roads, especially
[00:12:45] a condition that qualifies them to accommodate
[00:12:48] high speeds, especially for motorcycles. Yes,
[00:12:51] okay, I'll go to our correspondent
[00:12:56] Mohammed. Ahmed and Yumma spoke in Deir Ezzor and Tartous about some
[00:12:59] deterrent penalties for those who misuse motorcycles.
[00:13:03] Do the residents of Idlib see these penalties
[00:13:07] as sufficient to deter such behaviors, or
[00:13:11] do they believe that there might be harsher penalties
[00:13:14] that would end this state of chaos in the use of motorcycles?
[00:13:17] Yes, Rama, the residents here,
[00:13:22] whatever the penalty,
[00:13:26] it is not enough, especially for motorcycle owners.
[00:13:29] Let the numbers speak for a moment.
[00:13:32] Since the beginning of the current year until the end of last September,
[00:13:35] according to the Directorate of Emergency and Disaster Management here in
[00:13:39] Idlib Governorate, more than
[00:13:42] 948 traffic accidents
[00:13:46] were recorded, resulting in more than
[00:13:48] 139
[00:13:51] injuries, including 216
[00:13:55] children. Also, 48 deaths were recorded, including
[00:13:59] 11 children. Most
[00:14:01] of these accidents or injuries were
[00:14:05] due to motorcycles. Today, motorcycles
[00:14:08] account for 60 or
[00:14:11] 70% of accidents across
[00:14:15] the governorate, according to the concerned authorities.
[00:14:17] Therefore, any action
[00:14:21] or measure taken by the concerned authorities, according to the residents,
[00:14:25] is very little against motorcycles
[00:14:28] and motorcycle owners. In some Syrian governorates,
[00:14:32] such as Aleppo or Damascus or Raqqa governorate,
[00:14:36] the concerned authorities banned the entry of motorcycles
[00:14:38] into major city centers to avoid
[00:14:42] these accidents and to avoid the congestion occurring
[00:14:46] in the centers of these cities.
[00:14:50] The residents, motorcycles have truly
[00:14:52] or frankly become a nuisance for residents
[00:14:56] because primarily
[00:15:00] of traffic accidents that are recorded
[00:15:03] almost daily throughout Idlib governorate, and
[00:15:07] among their main causes are motorcycles. In addition,
[00:15:10] there are many reckless young men
[00:15:13] who are truly reckless in this regard.
[00:15:17] They perform reckless driving and excessive
[00:15:20] speeding, or outside the normal scope,
[00:15:23] and this speeding occurs on major
[00:15:26] roads leading to villages, cities,
[00:15:29] and towns. Lack of knowledge of
[00:15:33] traffic rules or road rules in
[00:15:36] these villages and towns. And especially most traffic
[00:15:40] accidents that are recorded and are
[00:15:43] main roads such as the international roads M4
[00:15:47] and M5, Aleppo-Damascus and Aleppo-Latakia.
[00:15:51] These roads are usually crowded most of the time,
[00:15:54] and motorcycles are a burden on these
[00:15:58] roads, especially
[00:16:01] residents for openings between
[00:16:04] the roads, demanding the concerned authorities to close
[00:16:08] these openings leading to
[00:16:11] the villages and towns that are located on
[00:16:15] near these main roads to reduce
[00:16:19] these accidents, and primarily
[00:16:22] to confiscate any motorcycle that causes disturbance or reckless driving.
[00:16:26] Even its sound, we hear in the background
[00:16:29] of all calls from our correspondents, whether
[00:16:32] from you, Mohammed, in Idlib, or in Deir Ezzor, or in Tartous, or any
[00:16:36] other governorate, the sounds of motorcycles are always present in
[00:17:52] In fact, we welcome the President and the accompanying delegation, and this
[00:17:55] confirms the strength and solidity of the relationship between
[00:17:59] Iraq and Syria, and God willing, this will be a good
[00:18:02] start for future and strategic projects, God
[00:18:06] willing.
[00:18:11] The two countries are linked by very strong historical relations. There are also economic
[00:18:15] ties.
[00:18:24] We are very happy, by God, with this
[00:18:27] warm reception. We see your hearts
[00:18:30] welcomed us before your eyes. Geography says
[00:18:34] the neighbor is the closest home, but wisdom
[00:18:37] says the closest blood, and God willing, the blood of Iraq and the blood
[00:18:41] of Syria is one blood, and perhaps our blood has increased
[00:18:45] because we are one blood, and we are with
[00:18:49] you, God willing, one people living in two countries, and we want
[00:18:52] to revive our history. We want to restore economic
[00:18:55] cooperation, political cooperation, unite
[00:19:00] the Arab level or the Islamic world level.
[00:19:03] Your security is our security,
[00:19:06] and vice versa. And God willing,
[00:19:09] we will soon await your arrival
[00:19:13] to grace us in your second country, and you will be
[00:19:17] the hosts, and we will be the guests. God
[00:19:19] bless you.
[00:19:24] It is very important that we take advantage of your presence today
[00:19:27] in your second country, Damascus, so that
[00:19:30] we can start charting a path that, God willing, will be long
[00:19:33] and sustainable.
[00:20:54] Today, we began one of the most important tasks in the project of building and rehabilitating
[00:20:58] the political system.
[00:21:27] Today is a literal translation of the real
[00:21:30] beginning of a project that was agreed upon with the European
[00:21:33] Union
[00:21:39] in order to work on implementing this system
[00:21:43] and this system related to reducing disaster
[00:21:46] risks.
[00:22:03] We will have a clear map
[00:22:07] of mines in Syria and contaminated
[00:22:09] areas.
[00:22:16] Welcome to the Syrian Story podcast on Syrian Al-Ekhbariya TV.
[00:22:23] The most painful thing
[00:22:25] for me was when someone told me, "Stop the barrel bombs, then talk to me
[00:22:29] about freedom." There should have been a transitional government, a military
[00:22:33] council, a judicial council. No one
[00:22:37] the word. On the basis that my family knew I was dead and held a condolence
[00:22:40] for me. They came to visit me to bully me after 20
[00:22:43] years to prepare for the attempted coup against
[00:22:47] Hafez al-Assad. How was it discovered? Oh, what should I do?
[00:22:56] I apologize if in this episode today
[00:23:00] we are going to relive the tragic
[00:23:02] memories. We wanted to reach
[00:23:06] the Syrians' pain, their dreams, their ambitions through
[00:23:10] colors. The Syrian Story podcast
