[00:01:16] of dismissed workers exceeded
[00:01:19] 8,000 workers, of whom
[00:01:22] 81% were reinstated to their positions,
[00:01:26] while the number of those
[00:01:28] There used to be spinning, but not anymore. Despite who did not report or

[00:02:26] towards Al-Ramouseh area, of the Governorate with completing the procedures for commencement and signing
[00:02:33] contracts. The residents of Atarib city
[00:02:35] and actual projects in the western Aleppo countryside complain about the worsening
[00:02:38] environmental pollution resulting from the random
[00:02:41] waste dump in the Al-Telal area, which has become
[00:02:44] and this dump in Al-Hamdaniyah a source of foul odors and rising
[00:02:47] smoke due to continuous burning operations, amidst
[00:02:51] demands to remove the dump and move it away
[00:02:54] from residential areas. On the outskirts of Atarib city in the western
[00:02:57] Aleppo countryside, the Al-Telal
[00:03:00] area has turned into a pollution hotspot that threatens the lives
[00:03:04] of residents after the random
[00:03:05] the central banks of waste dump became a daily source of concern
[00:03:08] for residents due to the foul odors and rising
[00:03:12] smoke resulting from continuous
[00:03:15] burning operations. It affects us a lot, by God, the smoke is causing
[00:03:18] shortness of breath for the elderly, and it's causing
[00:03:22] Leishmaniasis and skin diseases. We're taking our children to the hospital,
[00:03:27] through this and as for the road,
[00:03:30] by God, it's almost completely closed. Only one car can pass.
[00:03:34] We demand the concerned authorities to solve

[00:03:49] to protect shared borders homes, making opening windows almost
[00:03:51] impossible. We have a waste dump next to us,
[00:03:55] and we suffer from the problem of diseases it causes, such as
[00:03:59] Leishmaniasis, skin diseases, and so on.
[00:04:01] primarily, which is noticed by those who And we are harmed.

[00:04:10] have these lands to the east,
[00:04:14] and their damage is great. Plastic bags are always full of them, and
[00:04:18] the danger is not limited to environmental pollution
[00:04:21] alone, but extends to the health aspect,
[00:04:24] as residents warn of the spread of Leishmaniasis
[00:04:27] due to the proliferation of insects around the dump, which increases
[00:04:31] concerns about the safety of residents,
[00:04:33] especially children.
[00:04:37] which will end any destabilization From Aleppo, our Syria TV correspondent Ibrahim
[00:04:40] Al-Khatib joins us. Welcome, Ibrahim. Ibrahim, tell us more about
[00:04:43] this dump and its proximity to civilian
[00:04:46] would accelerate transport
[00:04:47] problem relates to the method of dealing with homes. Good evening, Catherine. This dump
[00:04:51] is actually old. We are talking about the dump
[00:04:54] near Atarib city, or which is located at the entrance of Atarib city in the western
[00:04:57] Aleppo countryside. This dump is old, dating back to about 30 years ago. With
[00:05:01] urban expansion, homes started to approach it,
[00:05:04] and it began to expand itself significantly,
[00:05:08] perhaps even reaching the main street in the city.
[00:05:12] It is a very huge dump. The process of waste disposal is not limited
[00:05:16] to Atarib only, but there are also
[00:05:19] a group of surrounding villages that actually send their municipalities
[00:05:23] to it, and they also place their waste in
[00:05:27] this area. The process of disposing of the waste
[00:05:30] in this dump is done through primitive traditional methods, either
[00:05:34] burning or landfilling,
[00:05:37] and digging and expanding primarily. These are the available methods
[00:05:41] for disposal.
[00:05:44] recent times, after the expansion of urban areas to nearby
[00:05:48] areas, and also the increase in population movement
[00:05:51] around the site, and also the actual expansion of this dump
[00:05:55] to actually cover a huge area, we will talk about approximately 30 years.
[00:05:58] We are talking about villages, towns, and Atarib city primarily, which
[00:06:02] actually takes this place as a last opportunity to dispose of the waste
[00:06:05] in the area. Burning operations began,
[00:06:08] and even the smells really bothered the residents
[00:06:12] in the area, who are demanding practical solutions, some of which
[00:06:16] involve moving this dump to another area, and also
[00:06:19] the existence of modern methods, similar to what is currently happening in many
[00:06:23] countries, which is to dispose of waste not only through burning and
[00:06:27] burial operations and transport
[00:06:30] and expansion that occurs every now and then, and disposing of waste by moving
[00:06:34] it from one place to another, but actually by utilizing these
[00:06:37] wastes in a specific way that relieves the residents
[00:06:42] that are not limited to smells only, nor to the smoke
[00:06:46] that rises periodically from the site through random burning
[00:06:50] operations, and even in
[00:06:53] the dump itself. But there is also a problem related to the spread of diseases
[00:06:57] and also dangers to the residents in the place
[00:07:00] directly. Dangers of leishmaniasis and diseases
[00:07:04] and pollution that this huge dump
[00:07:08] actually causes. Ibrahim, if we take a look at Aleppo
[00:07:11] in general, how does the waste situation look in Aleppo
[00:07:14] Governorate? The situation in Aleppo city has improved somewhat
[00:07:18] regarding waste dumps. There was a scene
[00:07:22] that we noticed in the center of Aleppo city. Imagine that when we walk in the western
[00:07:26] neighborhoods of the city, which are described as the upscale
[00:07:29] and modern neighborhoods in the city and well-organized,
[00:07:34] area primarily, on the highway leading
[00:07:39] that there was a very huge dump in the city. With
[00:07:43] launched by a group of residents here, or the residents of Aleppo city, who demanded
[00:07:46] an improvement in the cleanliness situation, the city council started an emergency
[00:07:50] plan. This plan primarily aimed at removing a group
[00:07:53] of dumps in the city,
[00:07:57] was moved towards very distant
[00:08:00] areas. There are still, actually, on the level of Al-Ramouseh, on the level of the airport
[00:08:03] road primarily, on the level of some areas located in eastern Aleppo, on
[00:08:07] the level of Al-Maysar, Al- Sukkari, many areas,
[00:08:10] actually, in the east, there are still
[00:08:13] random dumps that are still present, and the Aleppo city council says that it is actually
[00:08:17] considering practical plans to move all
[00:08:20] the dumps in the city and organize them
[00:08:23] outside of it primarily. This matter relates today to an emergency plan
[00:08:27] that primarily aims to improve the cleanliness situation. If we talked about the cleanliness situation
[00:08:31] three months ago in Aleppo city, it was a tragic situation related primarily
[00:08:34] to the presence of garbage and waste in all streets. After
[00:08:38] activating the emergency plan, there was a noticeable improvement on the level of streets.
[00:08:42] and alleys, civilian homes, commercial shops, and residential
[00:08:46] areas, primarily, by activating additional working hours
[00:08:50] for workers, by activating additional workers, by contracting with a group of
[00:08:53] private cars that helped the city council during the past period in moving
[00:08:57] this waste in the city to outside of it, and also through a plan that
[00:09:01] involved moving three or four huge waste dumps that were located inside
[00:09:05] Aleppo city to outside of it. But there are also many waste dumps that
[00:09:08] are still present within the city or even on the bypass
[00:09:14] tour the area. We were talking today about Sheikh Saeed and Al-Ramouseh and some
[00:09:18] areas whose situation is similar to the situation of Atarib city. When we walk on the bypass,
[00:09:21] you actually see random burning operations and plumes of smoke that were
[00:09:25] reaching the center of Aleppo city and actually making anyone who enters
[00:09:28] the city wonder about these foul smells and where
[00:09:32] they come from, and whether the waste
[00:09:35] was burning in the middle of the city. All of this scene resulted from the burning operations that were
[00:09:38] taking place in Sheikh Saeed neighborhood and Al-Ramouseh
[00:09:42] and this bypass primarily. But these operations, after
[00:09:45] the follow-up of the Aleppo governor, stopped, and work is slowly,
[00:09:49] though slowly, underway to move these dumps to distant areas in the southern Aleppo
[00:09:52] countryside primarily, and to find ways
[00:09:56] to deal with them. Until now, the main
[00:09:59] waste, that there is no way to utilize it primarily, and all that
[00:10:03] is happening is the process of disposing of it. If there were factories
[00:10:07] to utilize this waste, as the residents here demand, as
[00:10:10] the Aleppo city council also spoke about. In the future,
[00:10:14] there will actually be a benefit primarily from this waste, from metals,
[00:10:18] nylon bags, and other things that result from it, and also
[00:10:21] waste and dumps must be disposed of in a way
[00:10:24] that makes these disposal operations not
[00:10:28] harmful to residents. Thank you very much, Ibrahim Al-Khatib.
[00:10:31] You were with us from Aleppo.
[00:10:34] The craft of hand-woven rugs and carpets in
[00:10:37] Daraa Governorate faces the risk of extinction, after it was one of the most prominent
[00:10:41] heritage crafts that the Hauran region
[00:10:45] was famous for, amidst a decline in the number of workers
[00:10:48] in it and rising production costs, amidst
[00:10:51] craftsmen to preserve this heritage
[00:10:55] and pass it on to new
[00:10:56] generations.
[00:10:59] The weaving of hand-woven rugs and carpets is considered
[00:11:02] one of the oldest crafts that Daraa Governorate was
[00:11:06] famous for, as it used to have
[00:11:09] 14 centers and textile factories.
[00:11:12] However, this profession declined during the past years
[00:11:16] due to the war and rising production
[00:11:19] costs, and the competition from industrial products,
[00:11:22] in addition to the reluctance of young generations to learn
[00:11:25] it. I first learned to knit with my father. We stayed with him.
[00:11:29] And of course, we stopped for a while
[00:11:32] because of travel. Then
[00:11:35] weaving was in demand here. There were two, three, four families
[00:11:39] who used to weave with us. But they passed away, may God have mercy on them,
[00:11:42] and it died out. The raw materials are also gone. There is no more
[00:11:46] wool and yarn.
[00:11:49] Women no longer spin.
[00:11:53] this reality, attempts to preserve this craft
[00:11:56] continue, while a new generation is working to re-introduce
[00:12:00] hand-woven rugs and textiles in a way that
[00:12:04] keeps pace with modern tastes, without
[00:12:06] compromising their authenticity. We went through many challenges,
[00:12:10] whether financial, administrative, or regarding acceptance from society. But
[00:12:14] today, thank God, we are happy with the presence of Southern
[00:12:17] rugs on social media, and it is present
[00:12:21] on the ground. We are trying to develop these products so that
[00:12:25] we can create products that young people and youth adopt, with the aim that this
[00:12:28] identity will be passed from generation to generation and preserved. The workers
[00:12:32] in this profession believe that reviving the hand-woven
[00:12:38] is not limited to preserving a heritage
[00:12:42] legacy, but requires support and marketing
[00:12:45] to ensure its continuity and encourage more
[00:12:48] young people to learn it, so that
[00:12:52] it regains its status that Hauran was known for
[00:12:55] for a long time.
[00:12:59] The General Authority for Ports announced
[00:13:02] that Latakia Port received
[00:13:05] 394 ships and handled more than two million
[00:13:08] tons of goods since the beginning of the current year.
[00:13:11] The Authority explained that the ships were distributed between
[00:13:15] vessels loaded with general cargo and others for containers,
[00:13:19] in addition to maintenance and passenger ships, while the total
[00:13:22] handled containers amounted to approximately
[00:13:28] containers. The Authority added that the current performance is due to the simplification of customs
[00:13:32] procedures
[00:13:34] and the facilitation of import
[00:13:36] and export operations.
[00:13:43] For details, our correspondent from Latakia, Munir
[00:13:46] Al-Hajji, joins us. Welcome, Munir. Munir, tell us more about
[00:13:50] the types of goods that come
[00:13:52] port.
[00:13:56] Welcome, Catherine. Most of the goods that come
[00:14:00] through Latakia port are commercial goods and in very
[00:14:06] in the picture behind me, is witnessing a very large
[00:14:11] Since the beginning of this year until now, according to what the General
[00:14:15] Authority for Ports
[00:14:18] and Customs announced, the movement is very
[00:14:22] active, with about 384
[00:14:27] port. And they unloaded
[00:14:31] their cargo, which is mostly loaded with goods
[00:14:34] and amounts to about 2,860,000
[00:14:37] tons, which is a very large number compared
[00:14:41] to previous years, in addition to unloading about
[00:14:43] 171,000 containers through handling operations.
[00:14:47] This is due to, of course, Catherine,
[00:14:51] the facilities that the port administration provides.
[00:14:55] These facilities include customs facilities
[00:14:59] specifically, and also other
[00:15:02] facilities for transporting goods and transit,
[00:15:05] and also the use of new and modern mechanisms that
[00:15:11] and unloading operations. Consequently, this port witnessed
[00:15:14] a remarkable development in terms
[00:15:17] of transport, export, and import of goods,
[00:15:20] and it reached, at several
[00:15:24] times during
[00:15:27] this year, a state of full occupancy. If we turn the camera to monitor the number or size of containers, the size of containers is very
[00:15:31] large in this port,
[00:15:34] and also the
[00:15:37] mechanisms that can accelerate
[00:15:40] the process of transporting containers,
[00:15:43] which are handling operations. The General
[00:15:46] Authority, of course, spoke through its official platform
[00:15:50] about these figures and said that the number of vessels that
[00:15:53] the port received since the beginning of the year
[00:15:55] was 394 vessels,
[00:15:59] distributed between 180
[00:16:02] vessels loaded with general cargo and 186 vessels or
[00:16:05] containers, and also 23 vessels designated
[00:16:09] for maintenance work, in addition to three
[00:16:11] vessels for passenger transport, among them
[00:16:15] one of the modern and huge vessels that docked for several days
[00:16:19] off this coast. In the same context,
[00:16:22] about one day ago, Catherine,
[00:16:25] the General Authority also published
[00:16:29] in its statement the active movement that
[00:16:32] Tartous port is witnessing,
[00:16:35] which also witnessed a very
[00:16:39] large turnout in terms of
[00:16:42] transporting and exporting goods,
[00:16:44] and in its statement, it talked about receiving
[00:16:48] 551 vessels, including
[00:16:52] 472 vessels loaded with goods, as most of the vessels
[00:16:56] that also docked in Tartous port were loaded with goods, and there were
[00:16:59] 33 container
[00:17:02] vessels and also 46 maintenance
[00:17:05] vessels. This
[00:17:08] remarkable development was witnessed, of course,
[00:17:11] by Syrian ports, including Latakia port here
[00:17:14] and also Tartous port,
[00:17:17] which is due primarily to customs
[00:17:20] facilities and customs clearance, and also facilities related
[00:17:24] to transport and transit exports
[00:17:27] within Syrian ports. Thank you very much,
[00:17:32] Latakia.
[00:17:35] Occupation forces continued
[00:17:37] to violate the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip through
[00:17:41] shelling and gunfire in various parts of the eastern
[00:17:44] and southern Strip. Palestinian
[00:17:47] local sources reported that a citizen was injured
[00:17:50] by occupation bullets in Al-Mawasi,
[00:17:53] Khan Younis city. Meanwhile, its vehicles
[00:17:56] opened fire towards the tents of displaced people south
[00:17:59] of Al-Mawasi and Al-Mawasi, Rafah, and north
[00:18:03] of Al-Bureij camp.
[00:18:08] 24 Palestinian workers arrived
[00:18:11] in the Gaza Strip through the Karem Abu Salem crossing
[00:18:15] after the occupation authorities released them, while some
[00:18:18] of them recounted details of what they described
[00:18:21] as the harsh treatment they were subjected
[00:19:21] The Palestinian Prisoners' Club reported
[00:19:23] that Israeli occupation forces carried out a wide-ranging
[00:19:27] arrest and detention campaign in Qalandia refugee camp, north
[00:19:30] of occupied Jerusalem, affecting more than 60
[00:19:33] Palestinians.
[00:20:35] Viewers, let's move now to Ankara, with this
[00:20:38] press conference held by the Syrian Foreign Minister and his Turkish
[00:20:41] counterpart. The armed
[00:20:44] elements
[00:20:50] are armed, and this is necessary for the stability of Syria
[00:20:53] and the region.
[00:20:55] We must work to develop economic relations between Turkey
[00:20:59] and Syria. We are working to increase the volume of trade between the two
[00:21:03] countries, and we are also working to
[00:21:05] facilitate border and customs,
[00:21:09] and also to increase the number of crossings.
[00:21:12] We are also working to launch banking work,
[00:21:14] and also to support the infrastructure
[00:21:18] for transportation. These
[00:21:23] matters are also a priority regarding private
[00:21:26] sector work and government
[00:21:29] institutions. We are working to rebuild
[00:21:32] them. We are
[00:21:35] to support them in local and regional projects.
[00:21:39] We are working together. I want to give an example of this.
[00:21:43] Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. We started transportation
[00:21:47] between these countries.
[00:22:07] We see it through many concrete projects. There is
[00:22:10] a project to build or open a Turkish
[00:22:14] school in Syria, and this makes
[00:22:17] us happy.
[00:22:20] We are working to establish a joint university between Turkey and Syria, and also
[00:22:24] in the field of health work, we are one of the most involved in
[00:22:27] these efforts that we are making in health work. There are many
[00:22:31] hospitals, and we are also working to support
[00:22:33] the health infrastructure in Syria. Therefore,
[00:22:37] field, in June, the Turkish
[00:22:41] Health Minister visited Syria and signed a health
[00:22:45] cooperation agreement. Also, regarding the process of integrating Syria
[00:22:48] into the international financial system, we are working to support the Central Bank
[00:22:52] in Syria, and also the Central
[00:22:56] Bank of Turkey. There is also an agreement
[00:23:00] future. Relations between Turkey and Syria
[00:23:04] we are working to raise them to
[00:23:07] high levels through new
[00:23:09] projects.
[00:23:11] Today, in the meeting, we also discussed regional issues.
[00:23:14] Of course,
[00:23:17] the issue of negotiations between America
[00:23:21] and Iran. We are happy with the return to negotiations.
[00:23:24] A ceasefire must be immediately implemented,
[00:23:28] and the Strait of Hormuz must be opened for transportation.
[00:23:31] We will continue to support this phase.
[00:23:34] support the negotiations. Therefore,
[00:23:37] I want to emphasize an important point here, that Syria
[00:23:41] throughout the war
[00:23:43] is a country that contributes to peace in the region.
[00:23:47] I want to emphasize this point.
[00:23:57] it affects the region, and it is a responsibility for all of us. On the other hand, Syria is working
[00:24:01] to threaten the unity of Syrian territories through its continuous attacks
[00:24:05] and leads to threatening the security of the region.
[00:24:09] It is one of the biggest threats. The international community, regarding
[00:24:12] the mentality of occupied Israel, the international community
[00:24:16] must stand against this mentality.
[00:24:20] The ceasefire agreement and separation
[00:24:23] must be respected, and the unity of Syrian territories must
[00:24:29] pressured in this regard.
[00:24:34] Regarding the situation in Palestine and Lebanon, we also followed the issue
[00:24:38] completely. We clarified that
[00:24:42] Lebanon is a neighbor of Syria, so the situation there
[00:24:45] is important to us as well.
[00:24:48] The issue of the second step in the peace
[00:24:52] plan was agreed upon. Mr. Trump announced
[00:24:57] to threaten, and this indicates that Netanyahu does not want
[00:25:01] peace, that the Israeli government
[00:25:04] is working to sabotage and undermine peace
[00:25:07] processes and is working to annex
[00:25:11] Gaza.
[00:25:13] This is clear that the Israeli government wants Gaza to be
[00:25:17] without Palestinians. So,
[00:25:20] Netanyahu and his government will not succeed with
[00:25:23] this plan. Gaza will remain for Palestinians,
[00:25:26] and also we will rebuild
[00:25:30] Gaza.
[00:25:34] The brave Palestinians who stand against
[00:25:37] Israel must receive international
[00:25:40] support.
[00:25:44] In order to support the ceasefire and move to the second phase of the peace
[00:25:47] plan and resume peace. There is no
[00:25:51] other option but these points. On the other
[00:25:54] hand, in the West Bank and Jerusalem, Netanyahu's
[00:25:58] government continues its terrorist
[00:25:59] acts.
[00:26:02] There was an important meeting in Amman, and
[00:26:06] almost 20 countries from the Islamic world participated in this
[00:26:09] meeting, and this
[00:26:13] represented a collective effort of these countries towards Israel.
[00:26:17] Also,
[00:26:19] Jerusalem, there are Israeli
[00:26:23] attempts to violate
[00:26:27] their sanctity. Therefore, we support Jordan in
[00:26:30] its position in Palestine as well.
[00:26:36] the region, as Israeli expansionist
[00:26:40] policies in Lebanon led to the killing
[00:26:43] of many citizens,
[00:26:46] citizens were forced to leave their homes.
[00:26:49] Ensuring stability and security in Lebanon is very
[00:26:53] important in this context, as the relationship
[00:26:56] between Lebanon and Syria, and its return
[00:26:59] to normal, and increasing cooperation between them
[00:27:11] Syria is a country that contributes
[00:27:13] to finding solutions and not creating
[00:27:17] problems. Thank God, Syria should be
[00:27:20] present at all tables for finding solutions,
[00:27:23] and this is something we are proud of. In the coming phase, relations between the two countries
[00:27:27] and also security in the region and the world, we will
[00:27:31] work constantly to achieve all these
[00:27:33] goals. With this, once again,
[00:27:36] I express my thanks and welcome to my counterpart.
[00:28:32] which will transform our political understandings into clear work plans
[00:28:37] on the ground, and ensure the preservation of our gains away from regional
[00:28:41] fluctuations,
[00:28:44] to culminate in the announcement of the Higher Coordinating Council between the two
[00:28:47] countries, which will address all common issues in various
[00:28:50] fields. And based on this political
[00:28:54] will, we placed our common commercial and economic
[00:28:57] files at the top of our priorities,
[00:29:00] so we discussed reactivating economic and commercial
[00:29:03] agreements, alongside the recent and important step between
[00:29:08] the two countries, which established a solid foundation for economic
[00:29:12] and financial movement between the two
[00:29:15] countries. Both Damascus and Ankara realize that field
[00:29:19] stability and continuous success in combating terrorism
[00:29:23] are the cornerstone of this partnership,
[00:29:26] and this is embodied in Damascus's decision to extend the state's authority
[00:29:30] as a tangible reality by effectively
[00:29:32] ending any presence of weapons outside the legal framework,
[00:29:36] which was achieved through dialogue and a peaceful
[00:29:39] agreement that unified institutions to be the greatest investment
[00:29:43] in neighborhood security. A unified Syria free
[00:29:46] of terrorism and militias forms the strongest wall
[00:29:51] free of terrorism and militias forms the strongest wall to protect
[00:29:54] shared borders. Here, we coordinate
[00:29:57] our steps with our friends in Ankara to ensure the success
[00:30:01] of this path, in response to
[00:30:03] our common national
[00:30:06] Syrian achievement in confining weapons to state institutions
[00:30:09] provides a realistic model that heralds
[00:30:13] a new phase in our regional neighborhood.
[00:30:16] The region is clearly moving towards establishing a single basis
[00:30:20] for stability, whose core is
[00:30:23] the termination of any armed formations outside the legitimate
[00:30:26] framework. Here, we agreed to support the efforts
[00:30:29] and steps led by our brothers in Iraq
[00:30:33] and Lebanon to strengthen the sovereignty of their states and confine
[00:30:36] weapons to their national institutions,
[00:30:40] or instability in the region. The completion of these paths
[00:30:43] in the sister capitals ensures their sustainable internal
[00:30:46] stability and, along with the Syrian achievement, forms
[00:30:49] an integrated regional safety net that fortifies our
[00:30:53] region and drives it towards development and prosperity.
[00:30:56] And within this comprehensive vision for security, our efforts
[00:30:59] to consolidate calm are accompanied
[00:31:03] by firm diplomatic action to stop.
