[00:00:00] it was 1000 pounds, or let's say 1000 pounds in the new currency. Now, we have to raise the price of the goods. By God, the citizen does not have the ability to pay for a pair of pants or at high prices. So, it affected, it affected the economy, the market in general. This price and the fluctuation of the exchange rate affect us. Now, whether it goes down or up, it affects us. Now, the market has risen a little bit, but we, I mean, we have a thing that when it starts to rise, everyone rushes to buy dollars, meaning it increases its rise. There is an increased demand for dollars, even if they don't need them. But, I mean, maybe they are used to it or something. When it starts to rise, everyone rushes to buy dollars. When it starts to fall, everyone rushes to ask for Syrian pounds. This increased demand immediately affects its exchange rate. In Homs, Syria TV monitored the opinions of residents.

[00:04:08] all measures and steps it takes to confront
[00:04:12] these attacks and prevent their recurrence,
[00:04:15] holding the Houthi group fully responsible for
[00:04:17] these acts and their repercussions
[00:04:21] that threaten regional and international peace and
[00:04:24] security, and demanding their immediate and
[00:04:28] unconditional
[00:04:30] cessation.
[00:04:33] Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman
[00:04:36] affirmed that the Kingdom has proven its ability
[00:04:41] street with amounts to ensure the reliability of energy supplies, continue investment,
[00:04:44] and prepare to face various circumstances

[00:05:16] for transporting supplies to global markets via
[00:05:20] Yanbu on the Red
[00:05:21] Sea.
[00:05:27] Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi expressed his
[00:05:30] country's readiness to assist in starting
[00:05:34] talks between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis.
[00:05:37] This came during a phone call received by Bin
[00:05:40] Farhan from Araqchi, according to a statement published
[00:05:44] by the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For its
[00:05:47] part, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said that Araqchi
[00:05:51] expressed his concern about the escalation of
[00:05:54] tensions, stressing that persistence in the military
[00:05:57] approach and ignoring a political solution
[00:06:00] would increase the complexity
[00:06:02] of the current situation.
[00:06:07] The Yemeni army announced that it carried
[00:06:09] out 1,732
[00:06:12] precise and direct targeting operations against
[00:06:16] military targets belonging to the Houthi militia,
[00:06:19] coinciding with
[00:06:21] the advance of its forces on
[00:06:25] the axes of attack within Operation Yemen
[00:06:29] Dawn. According to the statement, the operations resulted in
[00:06:32] the killing of more than 900 Houthi elements
[00:06:36] and the destruction and disabling of about
[00:06:39] 300 vehicles and military
[00:06:42] equipment. The Yemeni army added that it destroyed
[00:06:45] military vehicles, artillery,
[00:06:49] and barracks belonging to the Houthi group in the Ma'rib front.
[00:07:10] Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani discussed
[00:07:14] with the Deputy Commander of the Army in Benghazi,
[00:07:18] Saddam Khalifa Haftar, the issue of missing Syrians
[00:07:21] in Libya, during an official visit
[00:07:24] to the Libyan city of Benghazi. SANA
[00:07:27] news agency stated that the two sides discussed
[00:07:31] the opening of the Syrian Consulate in Benghazi,
[00:07:33] in addition to shared
[00:07:36] security files.
[00:07:42] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs held
[00:07:46] a consultative workshop in Damascus to develop
[00:07:49] a national approach to dealing with hate
[00:07:53] speech, with the participation of relevant national
[00:07:56] bodies and technical facilitation from experts from the
[00:08:00] Office of the Special Envoy of the United
[00:08:02] Nations to Syria.
[00:08:06] and fears, while the responsibility of the
[00:08:09] Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with all
[00:08:13] Syrian government bodies, is to rid Syria
[00:08:15] of these effects, the chemical
[00:08:18] Assad era and the weapons he left
[00:08:21] behind. These priorities are available to our people.
[00:08:25] The goal is to bring Syria to the state
[00:08:28] that the Syrian people deserve, including
[00:08:31] the fact that we are now witnessing
[00:08:36] that does not conform to the principles of
[00:08:40] the Syrian people and does not conform
[00:08:45] to the values that the Syrian people
[00:08:47] represent. Basically, transforming
[00:08:50] this popular situation
[00:08:54] into a controlled
[00:08:57] goal of the effort that begins with today's
[00:09:00] workshops. It does not begin and is not
[00:09:03] limited to one workshop, but rather it is a
[00:09:07] path that began previously through many national
[00:09:11] bodies, including the
[00:09:22] Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Justice,
[00:09:25] but now it is placed within a unified
[00:09:29] effort to reach a more efficient process.
[00:09:33] Claudio Cordone, Deputy Special Envoy of the
[00:09:36] United Nations to Syria,
[00:09:48] said in an interview with Syria TV that
[00:09:51] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' initiative paves
[00:09:54] the way for developing an action plan
[00:09:57] to combat hate speech
[00:10:01] in Syria. Today,
[00:10:04] we are joined by
[00:10:08] ministries. At the end of the
[00:10:11] day, we will see what the future
[00:10:15] steps are. As I said, this
[00:10:17] initiative must also include civil society,
[00:10:21] religious leaders, and
[00:10:24] media. There is a wide
[00:10:27] scope for developing this plan. This
[00:10:30] is the first plan, and
[00:10:35] reach an action plan,
[00:10:48] and Syria will be the first
[00:10:51] country in the Arab world to
[00:10:55] have such a plan. A number
[00:10:58] of families of those kidnapped by
[00:11:01] the Israeli occupation gathered in front
[00:11:04] of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
[00:11:08] building and the International Committee of
[00:11:11] the Red Cross headquarters in
[00:11:14] Damascus, demanding the release of
[00:11:18] their children and the disclosure of
[00:11:21] their fate.
[00:11:28] Syria TV's correspondent reported that Israeli
[00:11:31] occupation forces arrested three shepherds
[00:11:34] in the village of Seid al-Jolana, and
[00:11:37] searched homes in the village of al-Hamidiyah
[00:11:41] in the Quneitra countryside. In the
[00:11:44] western Daraa countryside, three military vehicles
[00:11:47] of the Israeli occupation infiltrated from the
[00:11:51] Abu al-Ghaithar gate towards Wadi al-Raqad
[00:11:55] in the western Daraa
[00:11:57] countryside and ran over
[00:12:03] a motorcycle belonging to a farmer while
[00:12:06] passing through. The Anti-Narcotics Department
[00:12:09] announced the foiling of an attempt to
[00:12:13] smuggle more than 100,000 Captagon
[00:12:16] pills that were heading to the Kingdom
[00:12:19] of Saudi Arabia through the Nasib
[00:12:23] department clarified that the operation was carried
[00:12:26] out with the participation of police dog units,
[00:12:30] where the hidden pills were found
[00:12:33] inside the spare tire of a refrigerated
[00:12:36] truck that was
[00:12:38] heading to Saudi
[00:12:45] Arabia. It added that the operation
[00:12:48] resulted in the
[00:12:52] shipment, the arrest of the person
[00:12:55] involved, and the confiscation of the
[00:12:59] seized items. A symposium titled
[00:13:03] "Syria Without Drugs" was held at the
[00:13:07] Faculty of Pharmacy at Aleppo University,
[00:13:10] coinciding with World Mental Health Day.
[00:13:13] It discussed the dangers of drugs
[00:13:16] and their health, psychological,
[00:13:19] and social effects, and the importance
[00:13:22] of awareness and prevention of addiction, and strengthening efforts
[00:13:26] for treatment and rehabilitation. The importance
[00:13:30] of associating the "Syria Without Drugs"
[00:13:33] campaign with World Mental Health Day
[00:13:37] is that drugs strip people of
[00:13:39] their will and threaten their health.
[00:13:42] Today, we began a campaign within
[00:13:45] the context of the national campaign
[00:13:48] to combat drugs, "Syria Without Drugs."
[00:13:51] It began with a symposium at the
[00:13:55] Faculty of Pharmacy at Aleppo University.
[00:13:59] We discussed the achievements of the
[00:14:01] Anti-Narcotics Branch and the services
[00:14:04] provided by the
[00:14:05] Health Directorate as
[00:14:13] a hospital. Our message is a message
[00:14:16] of awareness, and we direct messages
[00:14:20] of reassurance to those affected that
[00:14:23] if you go to
[00:14:25] the specialized places, this will help
[00:14:29] you to reduce or eliminate legal
[00:14:32] accountability for you, and we will
[00:14:36] help you return to your normal
[00:14:39] life through the various health centers.
[00:14:42] These are the heroes of the
[00:14:46] Anti-Narcotics Department. Some owners and tenants
[00:14:50] of shops in the city of Al-Bab
[00:14:53] in the Aleppo countryside organized a
[00:14:57] protest in rejection of imposing a tax
[00:15:00] on the repaving of the market
[00:15:06] they described as large and linking
[00:15:09] it to providing electricity to the
[00:15:13] shops.
[00:15:16] It's not for the authorities, and it's not for
[00:15:20] the authorities. They closed the street for
[00:15:24] two and a half months. They kept
[00:15:28] people waiting for two and a
[00:15:31] half months. After that, someone came
[00:15:34] and gave us a paper saying that
[00:15:38] we had to pay the money within
[00:15:41] a week. By God, there is no electricity,
[00:15:44] and there is no hope. He threatened
[00:15:47] me because I am displaced, and
[00:15:51] the owner of my shop has cancer
[00:15:54] and lives in
[00:16:00] I can't pay. Who is going
[00:16:02] to pay for the electricity? Paving
[00:16:06] the streets of the area is a good
[00:16:09] thing, but it must be done
[00:16:12] legally and approved. Collecting money must
[00:16:15] be done legally, and Local Administration
[00:16:19] Law No. 107 does not allow
[00:16:22] any local administration to impose taxes
[00:16:26] except by a law from the
[00:16:30] Prime Minister. Collecting taxes in this
[00:16:33] way is incorrect. No one has
[00:16:36] the right to deprive someone of
[00:16:39] electricity. Today, I pay you
[00:16:43] money for this asphalt, and
[00:16:46] it is known all over the
[00:16:49] world that this matter is intentional.
[00:16:52] Even Al-Bab has other projects.
[00:16:56] These projects were paid in installments
[00:17:00] over a year and a half,
[00:17:03] but today you cut off the
[00:17:06] electricity, you cut off my
[00:17:10] livelihood. I am one of those
[00:17:14] who paid against my will because
[00:17:28] my electricity.
[00:17:31] won't charge you unless you pay
[00:17:35] I paid, and
[00:17:58] there are no problems, but I'm
[00:18:01] not an owner. My neighbors, the
[00:18:04] tenants, 20% of the tenants
[00:18:08] are for God. Leave the shops
[00:18:11] alone. First, the street was closed
[00:18:15] for two months. Second, they did
[00:18:18] illegal things, so they linked
[00:18:21] the asphalt issue to the electricity
[00:18:23] issue, and electricity was cut off
[00:18:27] from citizens. This is a right
[00:18:29] for citizens. No
[00:18:34] entity is allowed to link a
[00:18:37] tax to a service in exchange
[00:18:41] for a service provided to him.
[00:18:43] The second point is that the
[00:18:47] asphalt issue, according to Syrian laws,
[00:18:50] allows 25% of the cost of
[00:18:54] asphalted streets to be collected. This
[00:18:57] is distributed 12.5% to each side.
[00:19:00] The problem is that the estimated
[00:19:04] values of the asphalt that were
[00:19:07] placed on commercial
[00:19:21] shops are many times the considered
[00:19:24] costs. For example, in Aleppo and
[00:19:28] Azaz, no asphalt value is taken,
[00:19:31] except in the
[00:19:33] city of Al-Bab,
[00:20:18] of course. They considered it 100%
[00:20:22] or more. We were affected for
[00:20:26] three months. After they finished the asphalt,
[00:20:30] a week that they wanted about 670 from
[00:20:34] each shop per
[00:20:39] meter, 190
[00:20:40] dollars for asphalt.
[00:20:50] What did you
[00:20:50] put? There is
[00:20:54] no committee to
[00:20:59] you put or
[00:21:08] anything. Why this? Then,
[00:21:12] we didn't pay. We went to
[00:21:15] charge the electricity card, and they
[00:21:19] said you can't charge it unless
[00:21:23] you go to the municipality and
[00:21:27] get a clearance from the municipality
[00:21:30] that you paid. Well, I don't
[00:21:34] have that amount. Well, I'm forced.
[00:21:37] I've been affected for three months.
[00:21:41] They don't know this. Oh God,
[00:21:45] no one but you, Oh God,
[00:21:48] Oh God. Families of detainees
[00:21:51] who were transferred to Iraq organized
[00:21:55] a protest in front of the
[00:21:59] Iraqi embassy in Damascus, demanding
[00:22:02] to know the fate of their
[00:22:06] relatives. They were transferred
[00:22:08] to Iraq.
[00:22:13] We are
[00:22:16] and we ask you to feel
[00:22:20] for the mothers and fathers.
[00:22:23] Around 600 prisoners, including
[00:22:26] Syrians, continue their hunger strike
[00:22:29] and refusal of medication in Roumieh
[00:22:32] prison and several other prisons
[00:22:36] for the 30th consecutive day,
[00:22:39] protesting the suspension of the implementation
[00:22:43] of the general amnesty law. The
[00:22:46] prisoners' spokesperson said that the
[00:22:50] number of critical health cases among
[00:22:54] the strikers increased to 75
[00:22:57] cases, adding that two
[00:23:00] of the strikers in Roumieh prison
[00:23:19] were transferred to the hospital after
[00:23:22] their health deteriorated. The Lebanese Initiative
[00:23:25] for General Amnesty criticized the position
[00:23:29] of the Lebanese Judges Club on the amnesty law,
[00:23:33] considering that its use of the
[00:23:36] term "assumed injustice" involves trivializing
[00:23:40] the suffering of prisoners. The initiative
[00:23:43] pointed out in a statement that
[00:23:46] the Parliament approved the general amnesty
[00:23:50] law within the framework of its
[00:23:52] legislative powers and that the
[00:23:56] law enjoys wide
[00:23:58] political, human
[00:24:02] rights, and humanitarian support. It stressed
[00:24:06] that respecting the independence of the
[00:24:08] judiciary does not mean ignoring
[00:24:12] the will of the legislative authority.
[00:24:15] Heavy rains that fell hours ago
[00:24:18] caused significant damage to some
[00:24:22] camps in Idlib, where displaced people
[00:24:25] documented the conditions of their tents
[00:24:29] in the Barisha area in the
[00:24:32] province's countryside. The Syrian General
[00:24:35] Organization for Ports and Customs announced
[00:24:39] the completion of maintenance and repair
[00:24:42] works for
[00:24:43] 23
[00:24:48] ships in Banyas port since the
[00:24:51] beginning of this year, including structural
[00:24:54] and mechanical repairs, engine maintenance,
[00:24:58] and technical equipment. In addition to
[00:25:01] technical modifications made to some
[00:25:04] ships, the Authority indicated that work
[00:25:08] continues to develop Banyas port, raise
[00:25:12] its operational readiness, improve its services,
[00:25:15] and provide the necessary facilities
[00:25:18] for the movement of ships and
[00:25:22] oil tankers, which supports maritime transport
[00:25:25] activity and contributes to serving the
[00:25:29] Syrian economy. The Central Bank
[00:25:32] of Syria implemented the first documentary
[00:25:35] credit for a deal to supply
[00:25:38] petroleum products with major international
[00:25:41] companies. The bank clarified
[00:25:44] that it concluded the first deal
[00:25:46] to supply petroleum
[00:25:52] products between the Syrian Petroleum Company
[00:25:56] and Saudi Aramco, which opens a
[00:26:00] new path for securing oil supplies
[00:26:03] to Syria through direct commercial
[00:26:06] and banking arrangements. The bank indicated
[00:26:10] that this development reflects the role
[00:26:14] of the Central Bank of Syria
[00:26:17] in preparing the
[00:26:23] necessary banking channels to finance strategic
[00:26:26] trade and coordinating documentary procedures with
[00:26:30] relevant parties. For its part, the
[00:26:33] Syrian Petroleum Company said that this
[00:26:38] for strengthening financing
[00:26:43] mechanisms for oil supplies and opening
[00:26:47] more efficient paths for commercial
[00:26:51] dealings. The Syrian pound
[00:26:54] recorded a new decline in the
[00:26:57] exchange market against the dollar and
[00:27:00] foreign currencies after it witnessed
[00:27:03] a rapid decline during the past
[00:27:06] period. The pound's price fell to
[00:27:09] 141 against the US dollar,
[00:27:12] as a result of external and
[00:27:16] internal factors, including the repercussions of raising the
[00:27:20] prices of petroleum products.
[00:27:22] Syria TV monitored the opinions of
[00:27:26] residents in Damascus regarding the rise
[00:27:29] in the dollar exchange rate and
[00:27:32] its impact on prices, purchasing
[00:27:35] power of citizens, and its reflections
[00:27:39] on buying and selling in the
[00:27:43] markets. Today, the dollar
[00:27:46] has raised everything, the prices of
[00:27:50] food and essential daily necessities
[00:27:54] for citizens. We are a people
[00:27:57] who witnessed 14 years of war,
[00:28:00] and we need
[00:28:03] money to live. The price of
[00:28:06] electricity, water, and bread has increased.
[00:28:10] Now, the price of diesel and
[00:28:13] gasoline has increased, which has raised
[00:28:16] all prices. The citizen has nothing.
[00:28:20] We need the dollar price
[00:28:23] to fall so that people can
[00:28:27] live. Of course, the rise in
[00:28:30] the exchange rate
[00:28:33] is a bad indicator and has
[00:28:37] on the lives of citizens because
[00:28:41] everything has become expensive, fuel has
[00:28:44] become expensive, and all prices have
[00:28:48] become expensive. So, the citizen
[00:28:52] does not need more expensive
[00:28:55] prices. It's like
[00:28:59] today's price is something, and tomorrow's
[00:29:03] price is more expensive, and
[00:29:07] so on. This is really exhausting.
[00:29:09] I travel every
[00:29:13] now and then, meaning I come
[00:29:16] back every now and then, and
[00:29:19] I find prices
[00:29:21] expensive due to
[00:29:29] the rising dollar exchange rate. I
[00:29:34] situation improves. The exchange rate
[00:29:37] today has affected us a lot.
[00:29:41] For example, today you find an
[00:29:44] item
[00:29:48] and the next day we find
[00:29:52] it costs 25. Of course, today, an employee's salary
[00:29:55] is barely enough to cover a
[00:29:59] million or, for example, his
[00:30:09] income or salary is a million
[00:30:12] or a little more, but this
[00:30:16] is not enough today. How will
[00:30:19] the citizen live on what basis?
[00:30:22] We are tired now. As a
[00:30:25] citizen, I am a laborer.
[00:30:28] If I work,
[00:30:33] I eat. If I don't work,
[00:30:36] I don't eat. How can an
[00:30:39] employee, a driver, or a regular
[00:30:42] worker live? Of course, the exchange
[00:30:46] rate affects us. It affects us
[00:30:50] as clothes. For example, we
[00:30:53] used to bring
[00:30:56] goods at a certain price when
