[00:00:00] The area is a good work, but this [00:00:00] his meeting with work must be a [00:00:03] legal work and the collection of funds must be [00:00:07] legal, and Local Administrative Law No. 107 does not allow [00:00:10] any local administration to impose taxes except by [00:00:15] Farmers describe this year's law from the Prime Minister's office, and collecting taxes in this manner [00:00:17] is incorrect, as no one has the right to deprive anyone of [00:00:20] electricity for the sake of you paying me money today [00:00:24] the truth and do not for this asphalt, and this is well-known in all tomorrow. Questions countries of the world. Do you mean that other projects [00:00:28] became available after the door? These projects were paid in installments over a year [00:00:32] and a half, but today you cut off electricity, which is cutting off my livelihood. [00:00:35] I am one of the people who, believe me, paid against my will [00:00:38] because they cut off my electricity. We will not fill [00:00:41] for you unless you pay the asphalt fee. I paid and there is no problem, but I am not [00:00:45] around. I am your owner, and may God make it easy for the tenants, my neighbors. [00:00:49] 20% of the tenants, may God bless them, they left [00:00:53] the shops. First, the street was closed for two months. [00:00:56] Second, they did illegal things, so they linked [00:01:00] the asphalt issue to the electricity issue, and electricity was cut off [00:01:02] for the closure of a large number of from citizens, and this is a right for citizens. No [00:01:08] tariffs on opportunities in a number of party is allowed to link a tax to a service in exchange for the service provided to them. The second [00:01:10] point is that the asphalt issue, according to [00:01:12] from a number of the approved Syrian laws, the value of the asphalt is taken, [00:01:16] 25% of the previously asphalted streets are distributed to each side, [00:01:19] 12.5%. The problem is that the values [00:01:23] of the asphalt that were imposed on shop owners are many times [00:01:26] skill in the considered costs, meaning that in Aleppo and Azaz, no [00:01:30] the Faculty of Pharmacy at Aleppo University, [00:01:36] money is taken. After they finished the asphalt, after [00:01:41] and the importance of a week, they said they wanted approximately 670 from each [00:01:43] shop at $190 per meter for asphalt. [00:01:47] What did you put? There is no committee that will tell you what you put or [00:01:50] anything. Why all this talk? Then, when [00:01:53] we didn't pay, we went to charge the electricity card. Oh, you can't [00:01:57] to us and reduce charge it until you go back to the municipality and get a clearance from the municipality. [00:02:11] The families of detainees whose transfer to Iraq is underway [00:02:15] organized a protest in front of the Iraqi [00:02:18] Embassy in Damascus to demand [00:02:25] was provided as a donation from the disclosure of the fate [00:02:32] emphasizing its commitment to [00:02:52] provide us with the details [00:02:57] complete. [00:03:08] of their relatives. The heavy rains that fell hours ago caused [00:03:12] significant damage in some camps in Idlib, [00:03:16] Aleppo, from where displaced people documented the conditions of their tents in [00:03:19] the Barisha area in the [00:03:26] Flights start at to alleviate the burden on TV Radio on to 2014, part of it was province's countryside. [00:03:43] the burden on began restoration work inside this palace, but a number of media outlets and a number of [00:03:48] a large number of [00:04:02] Idlib is the best in [00:04:10] they arrived. It was forbidden [00:04:14] The Badia area in the western Deir Ezzor countryside witnessed heavy [00:04:18] rains that caused floods in the area without any damage [00:04:22] reported so far. Oh God, bless [00:04:26] the Prophet. 110. [00:04:35] Hey, the water is going away, guys. [00:04:36] شباب [00:04:41] meaning there was no life in it, and even the people of Homs did not [00:04:45] Oh, what [00:04:45] a blessing. [00:04:50] This is standing here. It's not [00:04:59] Syria will rely heavily on Syrian expertise [00:05:03] that has gained experience abroad and succeeded abroad, [00:05:06] and has tried to transfer the success experience to [00:05:10] that we are working with is the interior. This was during [00:05:13] a delegation of Syrian experts and specialists [00:05:16] in the technology and innovation sector. President [00:05:19] Al-Shara said that Syria has many opportunities within [00:05:23] its important geographical location and the absence of a digital [00:05:26] infrastructure, which allows it to benefit from the latest [00:05:29] global advancements instead of relying [00:05:33] on an old infrastructure and replacing it [00:05:35] at great cost. He pointed out that rebuilding [00:05:39] from scratch represents an important [00:05:42] opportunity for Syria. He also noted that the digital [00:05:45] infrastructure is linked to government institutions [00:05:48] and reconstruction projects, including residential construction, [00:05:52] explaining that digital life is involved [00:05:56] in various details [00:05:58] of life. [00:06:03] The Investment Authority discussed with a delegation from the American business community, [00:06:07] including 30 representatives from 22 [00:06:11] American, regional, and international companies, [00:06:15] investment [00:06:18] vital sectors in Syria. This came during [00:06:22] a meeting between the Director of the Authority, Ahmed Rawad Ramadan, [00:06:25] and the delegation in Damascus, where the [00:06:29] two sides discussed cooperation opportunities in the oil, [00:06:32] gas, energy, infrastructure, [00:06:35] construction, and logistics sectors, in [00:06:38] addition to technology, artificial intelligence, and education. [00:06:42] The Authority explained that the visit aims to [00:06:45] learn about the Syrian investment environment [00:06:48] and explore opportunities to enter the local market [00:06:52] or expand business there, and open [00:06:55] new channels for cooperation [00:06:58] and building potential economic partnerships. [00:07:01] محتمله. [00:07:07] The Directorate of Antiquities and Museums announced [00:07:10] that the results of the inspection of the Al-Zahrawi Palace, [00:07:12] the archaeological site in Homs, showed that the work carried out did not [00:07:16] record any significant changes in the planning [00:07:19] or the historical architectural fabric of the palace. [00:07:22] The Directorate considered that the work that [00:07:26] took place falls within the scope of maintenance and rehabilitation [00:07:29] and the improvement of basic services, [00:07:32] adding that the funding allocated for the restoration [00:07:37] the investing entity without any burdens on [00:07:41] the state treasury, [00:07:44] Syrian architectural heritage according to adopted scientific [00:07:48] and technical [00:07:50] standards. [00:07:56] For more details, our Syria TV correspondent Anwar Abu Al-Walid joins us [00:08:00] from Homs. Anwar, welcome. Please [00:08:05] of this news. Go ahead. [00:08:08] Yes, Yaman, good morning to you and to the esteemed viewers. Indeed, [00:08:11] after a controversy that lasted for days regarding the Al-Zahrawi Palace, of course, the Al-Zahrawi Palace [00:08:15] is one of the important archaeological landmarks in Homs [00:08:18] and its construction dates back to the Mamluk era, and another part of it [00:08:21] also dates back to the Ottoman era. Therefore, it has symbolism [00:08:25] and importance, and it heads the list of heritage [00:08:28] sites and landmarks here in Homs. However, during the period [00:08:32] of the siege extending from 2012 [00:08:35] shelled, and then the ousted regime [00:08:39] attempted to restore parts of it, but it actually led to its [00:08:42] destruction, and primitive methods were used, which led to the loss of some [00:08:46] of its features. Recently, one of the investment entities [00:08:55] pages raised the issue that the palace [00:08:58] is being vandalized and its heritage features are being changed, [00:09:01] which prompted the intervention of the supervisory and regulatory authorities, [00:09:05] represented by the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums, which [00:09:07] sent a central team [00:09:11] to the palace, consisting of an engineering team and also specialists [00:09:14] in restoration operations and archaeologists from the [00:09:17] Homs Antiquities Directorate. All of them came to the palace, and we were with them the moment [00:09:23] inside the palace until the committee finished its work, [00:09:26] but we observed and toured with them inside the palace upon [00:09:29] their arrival and we saw what the report mentioned [00:09:33] truthfully in its statement last night, where it said that the restoration [00:09:36] work did not reach [00:09:40] the level of being vandalized or having pillars removed, as [00:09:43] some pages mentioned more than once. What happened was [00:09:46] an attempt to restore life to the palace. It was indeed [00:09:50] destroyed before and was abandoned, [00:09:54] frequent it due to its very bad and tragic situation. Therefore, after [00:09:57] this entity started, there were reservations and even there were [00:10:01] attempts to confirm [00:10:04] the preservation by any investing entity to ensure that any restoration [00:10:07] operations maintain the palace's heritage and its [00:10:10] main features, which is what the implementing entity confirmed [00:10:14] when we met with it, and then the committee that [00:10:17] issued its statement yesterday, which said that the restoration work has preserved, so [00:10:21] far, all the main features [00:10:25] and tried to remove some of the additions [00:10:29] made by the ousted regime during the past years, specifically in [00:10:32] 2020, when it carried out primitive operations to restore [00:10:36] the palace. On that day, as the Directorate also said in its [00:10:39] statement, these restoration operations do not cost [00:10:43] the Ministry of Culture and even the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums any [00:10:46] financial amounts. The investing entity is an entity that has adopted this work and is trying [00:10:49] to restore the palace to its original state or better [00:10:52] without affecting any of its main features, [00:10:56] and also pledged not to convert it, as many [00:11:00] media outlets also mentioned, into a restaurant or otherwise, [00:11:03] and to change the original expropriation [00:11:06] that existed, which was to preserve a heritage palace [00:11:10] within Homs. The implementing entity denied that there was any [00:11:13] intention to convert it into any other landmark. The palace will remain, as [00:11:17] the responsible authorities mentioned, in addition to the permit and so on, it will remain [00:11:20] a heritage landmark of Homs, and everyone is trying [00:11:23] to preserve it. These restoration operations preserve [00:11:26] the palace's fundamentals and its heritage features. It remains one of the main [00:11:30] landmarks known here in Homs, not only it, but there are also [00:11:34] many other things that really need to be touched up with [00:11:38] aesthetic touches. [00:11:41] Thank you for all these details. Syria TV correspondent Anwar Abu Al-Walid was [00:11:44] with us from [00:11:45] Homs. [00:11:49] A seminar titled "Syria Without [00:11:52] Drugs" was held at [00:11:55] coinciding with World Mental Health Day. It addressed the dangers [00:11:59] of drugs and their health, psychological, [00:12:02] and social effects, [00:12:06] awareness and prevention of addiction and strengthening [00:12:09] treatment and rehabilitation efforts. The importance of linking [00:12:12] the "Syria Without Drugs" campaign with World Mental [00:12:15] Health Day is that [00:12:18] drugs rob people of their will [00:12:21] and threaten their health. [00:12:25] And in a campaign within the context of the national campaign [00:12:28] to combat drugs, Syria Without Drugs, [00:12:30] we started with a seminar at the Faculty of Pharmacy [00:12:34] at Aleppo University. We discussed the achievements [00:12:37] of the Drug Enforcement Branch and the services provided by the Directorate [00:12:41] of Health, such as Ibn Khaldun Hospital. Our message [00:12:45] is a message of awareness, and we convey [00:12:48] reassuring messages to those affected that if [00:12:51] you go to the specialized [00:12:54] places, this will help you [00:12:57] to reduce or cancel your legal accountability, [00:13:01] and we will help you return to your normal life [00:13:05] through various health centers. [00:13:08] These are the heroes of the anti-drug administration. [00:13:11] The General Authority for Civil Aviation and Air Transport announced [00:13:15] the start of regular bus services between the Baramka garages and Damascus [00:13:19] International Airport to facilitate the arrival [00:13:21] of passengers to the airport. The Authority also indicated [00:13:25] that the service includes providing transportation [00:13:29] in the opposite direction, explaining that the step [00:13:32] aims to develop the services provided [00:13:36] to passengers. The Civil Aviation Authority announced [00:13:39] the start of domestic bus services from Damascus Airport to Baramkeh [00:13:43] and from Baramkeh to Damascus Airport, a step [00:13:48] travelers. [00:13:51] 6:00 AM until 11:00 AM, [00:13:55] and from 12:00 PM until 4:00 PM, and during night [00:13:58] hours, there are also flights from 10:00 PM [00:14:02] until 4:00 AM. [00:14:04] This step aims to alleviate [00:14:08] travelers because these buses can accommodate [00:14:13] people and their cost is low compared [00:14:16] to taxi fares and parallel applications [00:14:20] for taxi fares. This step has just begun. We do not know the exact [00:14:23] pricing because the buses [00:14:27] that have started operating have started at a reduced [00:14:30] and low frequency. A bus comes to here and goes to Damascus Airport, and from Damascus [00:14:34] Airport, a bus comes to here. Therefore, there is no [00:14:37] central departure [00:14:40] point at this moment. It is expected that the old center will be activated [00:14:44] or it is also expected that the Civil Aviation [00:14:47] Authority will establish a new departure point in this [00:14:50] area designated for transportation within Damascus. Amer [00:14:54] Assi, Syria TV, Baramkeh. [00:14:57] The Directorate of Transport in Raqqa governorate [00:15:01] announced the official start of its work [00:15:03] after completing the technical preparations and linking [00:15:07] the directorate with the relevant authorities. This comes [00:15:10] after a closure that lasted more than [00:15:13] 13 years. [00:15:20] The Raqqa Transport Directorate has started [00:15:23] its work in providing services to citizens. All types of services, [00:15:27] including judicial inspections, [00:15:31] and including placing a mortgage lien [00:15:34] and removing a mortgage lien, and placing a lawsuit lien on [00:15:37] cars. Of course, [00:15:41] in terms of linking with other parties, [00:15:45] we have banks that have not been activated for [00:15:48] electronic payment. Currently, they have not been activated. [00:15:52] The traffic branch department, we have prepared the building completely. [00:15:56] The traffic administration came and took over its place so that we can issue [00:16:00] traffic clearance for cars because traffic clearance is essential [00:16:03] for vehicle renewal and licensing. [00:16:07] All European entries, we will work on them, God willing, during this [00:16:10] period. Of course, [00:16:13] God willing, the Peace Spring area [00:16:17] and the self-administration. The integration is ongoing [00:16:20] and has not been completed yet. When the integration is fully completed, [00:16:23] we will provide the following service to citizens, God willing, in Peace [00:16:27] Spring and the [00:16:28] self-administration. [00:16:31] The head of the Leather Craftsmen Association in Aleppo, Hassan Kanas, [00:16:35] explained to Syria TV the reasons [00:16:40] workshops in the city, demanding a reduction in customs [00:16:45] raw materials to support craftsmen. [00:16:49] Most of the workshops have closed their doors [00:16:52] because of Chinese products. They couldn't stand [00:16:55] up to or compete with Chinese products. [00:16:58] Of course, our craft, as I told you, he has [00:17:04] performance, but he has a lack of development. He just [00:17:08] needs to develop his machines and keep up with fashion [00:17:12] and follow fashion so that he can keep up. [00:17:14] He needs to go out and see, [00:17:18] travel, and there should be international exhibitions [00:17:21] to open international markets. [00:17:24] Also, we have another issue. We have [00:17:27] raw materials. If the government [00:17:30] would be generous [00:17:34] the customs duties on raw materials, energy [00:17:38] factors would be secured. [00:17:40] An industrial city, for example, a craft gathering area so that [00:17:44] individuals can work together in one place. [00:17:47] This is very important. Regarding [00:17:50] the low wages of craftsmen in Aleppo, [00:17:53] the head of the Leather Craftsmen Association in Aleppo explained [00:17:57] to Syria TV that the high shipping costs and taxes [00:18:01] imposed on raw materials contributed [00:18:04] to the decline in wages in the sector. [00:18:08] Well, of course, the workers' wages [00:18:11] are, frankly, unfair. The workers should [00:18:14] have higher wages than this, but the weakest link [00:18:18] is the worker or the labor force, meaning they can [00:18:21] only do not give them [00:18:25] their rights. The reason is that [00:18:28] energy sources, shipping, and raw materials that are imported [00:18:32] are subject to customs duties, [00:18:35] which makes the cost of shoes very high. [00:18:38] Farmers in the Idlib countryside began the olive [00:18:42] harvest season with expectations of a bountiful [00:18:45] yield, as the percentage [00:18:47] of fruit set on trees is estimated at [00:18:49] 85%, coinciding with the continuation of harvesting [00:18:53] and sorting operations [00:18:55] in preparation for marketing [00:19:01] and pressing. Under the shade of olive [00:19:04] trees, Abu Ahmed turns its fruits in his [00:19:07] hands, checking their ripeness [00:19:10] in preparation for the long-awaited harvest season. [00:19:13] Al-Sawrani or Al-Ma'arri, as it is locally known, [00:19:17] is one of the most prominent varieties that Idlib is famous for, alongside [00:19:21] other secondary varieties such as Abu [00:19:24] Shawka, Al-Nasasi, Al-Zaytuni, and Al-Shami, whose characteristics [00:19:28] and uses vary. At the Jeddah Conference in [00:19:32] 1910, a decision was issued by the economic [00:19:36] conferees that the city of [00:19:40] the world in terms of olive season, taste, quality, [00:19:43] and production. It's a good season this year, thank God. [00:19:47] The olives are good. [00:19:49] And there is olive production, and from now on, people [00:19:53] will start harvesting olives, meaning usually [00:19:56] at the beginning of late October, [00:19:59] olive harvesting begins. So we are at the beginning now. [00:20:03] We collect the nets and work according to the customs followed in olive [00:20:06] production. Harvest times vary [00:20:10] between the regions of the governorate depending on the type [00:20:12] of olives, the ripeness of the fruits, and the climatic [00:20:15] conditions. Some fruits are designated [00:20:18] for the table, and others are transported to oil presses. [00:20:22] Al-Sawrani is suitable for pickling and pressing together, [00:20:25] while Al-Halabi or Al-Majhool is designated [00:20:28] for preparing provisions. [00:20:35] and Al-Sawrani. Some people, each region has [00:20:38] its own names. We call the Halabi for making [00:20:42] the pickled food. There is for crushing and [00:20:44] for pressing. This type [00:20:48] suitable for pressing, [00:20:50] exclusively. [00:20:52] Some people also sort it, for example, some people like to keep [00:20:56] some of it for provisions. They sort the green ones [00:21:00] for provisions and take them, for example, to the market. [00:21:05] harvest as good compared to previous [00:21:08] seasons, hoping that the improvement will be reflected [00:21:11] in a return that helps them cover the costs of caring [00:21:15] for the trees and harvesting. [00:21:18] Amidst trees laden with their fruits, [00:21:22] Idlib appears to be facing a bountiful season [00:21:25] that promises good, but the abundance of the harvest [00:21:28] does not necessarily mean greater profits for farmers [00:21:31] or lower prices for consumers, [00:21:34] leaving the season dependent on market [00:21:37] developments. Elaf Al-Ali, Syria TV, [00:21:41] Idlib [00:21:41] countryside. [00:21:51] The British newspaper The Guardian revealed that a Syrian [00:21:55] doctor faces deportation after the British Home [00:21:58] Office decided to withdraw the refugee status [00:22:02] Syrians, in a move described as the first [00:22:06] of its kind in Europe since [00:22:09] the fall of the ousted [00:22:11] regime. [00:22:14] The Syrian refugee file in Europe is undergoing radical [00:22:18] transformations, as the acceptance rates for asylum applications [00:22:21] have sharply declined in several countries, while Britain faces [00:22:25] criticism after withdrawing refugee status from some [00:22:28] Syrians since the fall of the ousted [00:22:30] regime. [00:22:33] The Guardian newspaper revealed that a Syrian doctor faces deportation [00:22:37] after the British Home Office decided to withdraw his [00:22:41] refugee status on the grounds that Syria is safe for refugees [00:22:44] to return to, in a move that is the first of its kind in Europe, [00:22:48] suggesting that the deportation decisions will affect thousands [00:22:51] of Syrians residing in the United Kingdom in the coming period. [00:22:55] Syrian refugees in Britain complain about [00:22:58] the long waiting periods for their asylum or permanent residency [00:23:02] applications to be processed, a situation they describe [00:23:05] as forced waiting, as its impact extends [00:23:08] to work, housing, travel, and family reunification, [00:23:12] calling on the authorities to set a clear timeline [00:23:15] for processing the backlog of applications. [00:23:18] And at the European [00:23:24] Union level, 2767 asylum [00:23:28] applications from Syria were rejected out of 387 applications last year, [00:23:31] bringing the acceptance rate [00:23:33] to only 28% compared to [00:23:36] 90% in 2024. [00:23:40] Meanwhile, the acceptance rate for Syrian applications in [00:23:44] last February did not exceed 19%, according to the Union's [00:23:48] statistics.
