[00:00:45] and thus benefiting from planting larger areas
[00:00:48] of land. The Nile lily is considered one of the
[00:00:51] water-absorbing plants through the process of transpiration,
[00:00:54] where each flower consumes
[00:00:57] cancellations and airspace about 4 liters of water daily, thus reducing
[00:01:01] the amount of water that benefits farmers

[00:04:56] of the story. students in Turkey with the start of the new academic
[00:04:59] year. The minister denied these allegations

[00:05:13] From a refugee who arrived
[00:05:16] to a candidate in the parliamentary elections in Berlin,
[00:05:19] Asia Al-Deiri
[00:05:22] experience in German
[00:05:25] of community work and stability in the German capital.
[00:05:28] الالمانيه
[00:05:32] My goal was to be a part of this society, not
[00:05:35] a person who came to receive aid. I am part of this society
[00:05:39] and I have rights, and I work for them.
[00:05:42] Asia Al-Deiri ran for the state of Berlin
[00:05:46] for parliament in the Treptow-Köpenick
[00:05:49] district,
[00:05:51] from the Social Democratic
[00:05:54] Party. I came from Syria as a refugee in 2015.
[00:05:57] I started studying and working immediately, voluntary work
[00:06:01] at first with all organizations and with the Youth Center
[00:06:05] that supports youth and children, and with organizations
[00:06:07] that support families. In 2016,
[00:06:11] I started working on myself. I did vocational training
[00:06:14] in the German army, and then I studied law.
[00:06:18] At the same time, I studied the German language
[00:06:21] until I finished the B2 level. I studied a lot about
[00:06:25] all the parties here in Germany and which party suits me best.
[00:06:28] The Social Democratic Party was the closest
[00:06:32] to the goals that every immigrant
[00:06:35] here in this country wishes for.
[00:06:38] I started with some small activities with them,
[00:06:43] and then I became a member of the district as a citizen.
[00:06:46] Through my membership there, many things happened
[00:06:49] when I spoke on behalf of immigrants.
[00:06:53] I felt that I could convince them. So,
[00:06:56] the idea came to me that I must be in a position
[00:06:59] of responsibility, not just talk about
[00:07:02] the problem. My role as a Syrian is to convey
[00:07:05] the true voice of Syria,
[00:07:09] and the voice of everyone who wants me to represent
[00:07:12] their voice. This is the first thing. And the second thing is to convey
[00:07:16] the truth about Syrians, not what they say about
[00:07:19] us. Today, in 2026, in Germany and Berlin,
[00:07:22] Syrians represent a large part of the labor market.
[00:07:25] The problem in Berlin is that many Syrians
[00:07:29] do not vote because they do not know the importance
[00:07:32] of their vote in the political society. The second point is
[00:07:36] that sometimes the correct information does not
[00:07:39] reach the person about who to vote for. The danger
[00:07:43] that I might face if I do not cast my vote or do not vote
[00:07:47] is that the right-wing party, the AfD, might
[00:07:50] win. If they win, in Germany.
[00:08:04] The Lebanese National News Agency reported that Israeli
[00:08:08] occupation aircraft launched airstrikes on the Nabatieh
[00:08:11] region in southern Lebanon. The agency stated that
[00:08:15] one of the raids targeted an ambulance crew whose
[00:08:18] members survived the raid. It also indicated that
[00:08:21] occupation aircraft launched a two-stage raid on the old
[00:08:25] square neighborhood in the town of Nabatieh Fawqa.
[00:08:28] A third raid targeted ambulance crews heading
[00:08:31] location.
[00:08:38] An Israeli military vehicle carried out demolition
[00:08:42] operations that affected a number which is affiliated with the Tyre district in southern Lebanon.
[00:09:18] The Israeli occupation army announced that two
[00:09:21] of its soldiers were slightly wounded by an explosion
[00:09:25] of an explosive device on its engineering vehicles
[00:09:28] in southern Lebanon. The occupation army clarified that
[00:09:31] one of its vehicles ran over an explosive device
[00:09:34] belonging to Hezbollah in the security zone in southern
[00:09:38] Lebanon. It added that its forces attacked infrastructure in areas in southern Lebanon
[00:09:42] in the security zone.
[00:09:50] The Israeli occupation army detained nine Palestinians
[00:09:53] from the Hebron and Tulkarm governorates in the occupied
[00:09:57] West Bank. The Palestinian news agency stated that
[00:10:01] Israeli forces arrested eight Palestinians,
[00:10:04] including a father and his son, from the village of Al-Taqa
[00:10:07] in the desert of Yatta south of Hebron governorate
[00:10:10] in the occupied West Bank. The agency clarified
[00:10:13] that their arrest came after
[00:10:16] terrorist settlers attacked citizens
[00:10:18] and attempted
[00:10:21] from the village.
[00:10:30] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a number
[00:10:34] of his government ministers, and thousands of settlers
[00:10:39] in the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem on Saturday
[00:10:43] evening under tight security ahead of what is called
[00:10:46] the Jewish Day of Atonement. According to the official
[00:10:49] Israeli Broadcasting Authority, Netanyahu arrived at the Western
[00:10:53] Wall under tight security
[00:10:55] without providing further details on the matter.
[00:10:59] The Palestinian Jerusalem Governorate said in a statement
[00:11:02] that Netanyahu and a number of Israeli ministers
[00:11:05] stormed the Western Wall at a time when Israeli
[00:11:09] forces turned the Old City into a military barracks
[00:11:12] to protect settlers as they passed
[00:11:15] through the Al-Wad Street to the occupied
[00:11:19] Western Wall. It added that thousands of settlers stormed
[00:11:23] the plaza of the Western Wall, or the Western
[00:11:26] Wall plaza, passing through Al-Wad Street
[00:11:30] in the Old City
[00:11:31] of occupied Jerusalem.
[00:11:39] Gaza Civil Defense reported the killing of three people
[00:11:43] in an Israeli airstrike targeting a vehicle in the Sheikh
[00:11:47] Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City. Syria TV's correspondent
[00:11:50] stated that the occupation forces shelled the Shujaiya
[00:11:54] neighborhood east of Gaza City and also targeted
[00:11:57] the northern part of the Nuseirat
[00:12:00] as a number of Palestinians were wounded in an airstrike
[00:12:03] carried out by an Israeli drone on the western
[00:12:05] part of the Jabalia refugee camp.
[00:12:13] The Coastal Municipalities Water Utility in the Gaza
[00:12:15] Strip warned of the impending
[00:12:18] system due to the Israeli occupation's continued refusal
[00:12:22] to allow the entry of necessary equipment and spare
[00:12:25] parts for its operation and maintenance. The Coastal
[00:12:30] in the Strip stated that
[00:12:34] is on the verge of complete collapse,
[00:12:37] noting that the stoppage of vital systems
[00:12:41] would mean the inability to provide life-saving
[00:12:43] services to more than
[00:12:46] in the Strip.
[00:12:52] After an interruption of about three years,
[00:12:56] more than half a million students in the Gaza Strip
[00:12:59] returned to their studies amidst widespread destruction
[00:13:03] of schools and exceptional educational conditions
[00:13:06] in tents and temporary
[00:13:12] locations. We are very happy because today is the first
[00:13:15] day of school, and we haven't been
[00:13:19] to school for a long time. This is the third
[00:13:22] year we've been to school, and maybe we were in school
[00:13:26] before that, but we spent almost two and a half years
[00:13:29] not going to school. There are no schools,
[00:13:33] no books, no notebooks.
[00:13:36] We are opening the academic year 2026-2027
[00:13:38] despite all the challenges and difficult
[00:13:42] or harsh circumstances that our beloved
[00:13:46] sector is going through. You can see inside the tents
[00:13:49] there are 60 to 70 students,
[00:13:52] and this tent cannot accommodate more than 40
[00:13:59] students. Despite all the challenges faced by the education sector,
[00:14:03] the lack of resources, the unavailability of schools,
[00:14:08] people inside them,
[00:14:12] on holding on to their right
[00:14:15] process inside tents that do not protect them
[00:14:19] from the heat of summer or the cold of winter. They receive education
[00:14:22] sitting on the ground for three hours
[00:14:25] to receive the basic
[00:14:28] The spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition to support
[00:14:32] legitimacy in Yemen, Major General Turki al-Maliki,
[00:14:35] announced that Saudi air defense forces succeeded
[00:14:38] on Saturday morning in intercepting and destroying
[00:14:42] a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi terrorist militia towards
[00:14:48] explained in a statement that the escalation of
[00:14:52] the Houthi terrorist militia and its continued attempts
[00:14:55] to target civilians and civilian objects
[00:14:58] in Riyadh confirms the militia's intransigence
[00:15:02] and its persistence in systematically
[00:15:06] targeting civilians and civilian objects
[00:15:09] in a terrorist and hostile manner. Major General
[00:15:12] al-Maliki added that the Houthi militia attempted
[00:15:27] to target civilians and civilian objects in the cities of Bisha,
[00:15:31] Taif, and Farasan, and Yanbu, and that the hostile
[00:15:35] attempts were thwarted by air defenses.
[00:15:38] The US State Department warned of the possibility
[00:15:41] of an unexpected military escalation and a potential
[00:15:44] closure of airspace in the Middle East due to the repeated
[00:15:49] Arabia. The department said that the Houthis
[00:15:52] have engaged in hostile acts against the Kingdom
[00:15:55] of Saudi Arabia, including targeting civilian
[00:15:59] airports, warning that this military conflict
[00:16:03] is capable of rapid
[00:16:06] added that the security environment in the Middle
[00:16:10] East region remains complex amid ongoing tensions
[00:16:13] and the possibility of unexpected escalation,
[00:16:26] calling on Americans in the region to exercise extreme
[00:16:29] caution and be prepared for potential flight
[00:16:34] closures. Welcome, Mr. Tamam Al-Jassem,
[00:16:38] a journalist specializing in American affairs, joining me from Washington.
[00:16:42] What is your initial
[00:16:44] comment on the American warning regarding the escalation
[00:16:47] of fighting and Houthi shelling of Saudi Arabia?
[00:16:52] and to the viewers of Syria TV.
[00:16:55] First of all, I believe that this warning is a realistic
[00:16:59] one in light of the developments in the region and the escalating
[00:17:02] military tensions. However, I would like to point out
[00:17:06] that this warning was not limited to Saudi Arabia
[00:17:10] and the crisis with the Houthis.
[00:17:13] missions circulated this warning to various countries
[00:17:17] in the region in anticipation of emergencies. I believe that what ignited
[00:17:20] the fuse of these warnings
[00:17:24] is, of course, the statements made by President Trump
[00:17:27] regarding the confrontation with Iran, and that he
[00:17:31] is about to make a decisive decision on the course
[00:17:33] of this confrontation that is taking place between
[00:17:37] the United States and Iran. Consequently, the region
[00:17:41] is entering a new phase of escalation,
[00:17:44] and of course, including Saudi Arabia
[00:17:48] and the Houthis. What happened with the targeting
[00:17:51] of Saudi Arabia by the Houthis and the possibility of a response
[00:17:54] from Saudi Arabia. Reports indicate
[00:17:57] that the Houthis, under Iranian pressure,
[00:18:01] tried to open the Bab al-Mandeb front so that Iran
[00:18:05] would have two pressure cards: Bab al-Mandeb
[00:18:08] and the Strait of Hormuz, to influence any decisions
[00:18:13] and to take these pressures into account in general.
[00:18:18] an escalation in the coming days. Hossam,
[00:18:22] that will be determined in approximately three
[00:18:25] days. President Trump is expected to meet
[00:18:30] and leaders of countries in the region on the sidelines
[00:18:34] of the UN General Assembly in three days, meaning
[00:18:37] on Tuesday. It is expected that he will either
[00:18:40] inform them and take their opinions,
[00:18:43] or it is possible
[00:18:46] that a door will open for diplomacy, meaning
[00:18:51] will pressure him not to launch an attack
[00:18:55] on Iran and to give diplomacy another
[00:18:58] chance.
[00:19:00] And that Iran also offers more
[00:19:03] concessions. We know that the American
[00:19:07] administration, President Trump's administration,
[00:19:11] provided facilities for the Iranian delegation to come to New York.
[00:19:14] Yes. But, professor,
[00:19:18] yes, professor. You are pointing
[00:19:21] to a very important point. In three days,
[00:19:24] the US President's plan may be in place,
[00:19:27] and there may be an escalation or perhaps
[00:19:31] a continuation of these
[00:19:34] discussions and negotiations
[00:19:37] and talks that are draining
[00:19:40] the world's economy, and perhaps the scope
[00:19:44] of the war will expand. And now the Houthis
[00:19:47] have entered the fray against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
[00:19:51] What does that mean?
[00:19:53] Well, the entry of the Houthis
[00:19:57] was expected because
[00:20:01] Iran is pressuring the Houthis to engage
[00:20:04] in such a confrontation. I believe that the situation
[00:20:07] is likely to escalate.
[00:20:11] The Iranians are trying as much as possible
[00:20:15] to use all the cards they have to pressure
[00:20:19] the United States to complicate
[00:20:22] the situation.
[00:20:45] Trump is about to make a strategic decision
[00:20:49] regarding this crisis. The United States
[00:20:52] will not tolerate for long the situation
[00:20:55] where there is neither peace nor war.
[00:20:58] Solutions must be found for this crisis
[00:21:02] with Iran. Therefore, the escalation
[00:21:05] is reaching its highest levels at this stage,
[00:21:08] after what happened
[00:21:12] in continuing to press
[00:21:24] Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced
[00:21:28] that the current crisis in the Middle East is no longer
[00:21:31] economically bearable. Fidan added that
[00:21:35] the situation is gradually becoming more complex,
[00:21:38] and Turkey is focused on negotiations
[00:21:42] between Washington and Tehran reaching
[00:21:46] a result. Fidan also pointed out that
[00:21:50] it is unacceptable for Saudi Arabia to be part
[00:24:21] Bashar al-Assad flees
[00:24:24] Damascus. In a time when events are accelerating,
