[00:00:00] solar energy. In
[00:00:03] Idlib, heavy rains that fell hours ago
[00:00:06] caused significant damage to some camps in the governorate,
[00:00:10] where displaced people documented the conditions of their tents in the
[00:00:13] Barisha area in the governorate's countryside.

[00:01:16] The Quneitra Governorate approved a 50% reduction
[00:01:19] in building permit fees in a number of border villages
[00:01:23] adjacent to the occupied Syrian Golan. The decision came
[00:01:27] under a memorandum of understanding signed in cooperation
[00:01:31] with the Engineers Syndicate to include 14
[00:01:34] villages and farms, and is limited to areas
[00:01:37] that do not exceed 100 square meters,
[00:01:42] time and effort with the aim of alleviating the financial burdens
[00:01:44] on the residents and strengthening their stability in the
[00:01:47] border areas, in light of the difficult living conditions
[00:01:51] and the continuation of Israeli violations, amid
[00:01:54] calls to expand the scope of the decision to include
[00:01:58] the rest of the villages and towns
[00:02:02] program, of the governorate.
[00:02:05] For more details, our correspondent for Syria TV, Mohammed Fahd, joins us from Quneitra.
[00:02:09] Mohammed, welcome. So, a reduction
[00:02:12] in building fees in the villages adjacent
[00:02:15] to the occupied Syrian Golan. What details
[00:02:22] application on do you have? Indeed, Yaman, the governor of Quneitra
[00:02:27] and placing a lawsuit and the Quneitra Engineers Syndicate approved it, of course, after a previous
[00:02:30] meeting between the Quneitra Engineers Syndicate and the
[00:02:35] Ukrainian weapons, head of the news from Syrian Engineers and the Governor of Quneitra.
[00:02:37] A memorandum of understanding was signed to
[00:02:41] reduce the engineering office fees,
[00:02:44] are varying which used to exceed five million Syrian
[00:02:46] pounds for every 50-square-meter building permit.
[00:02:50] If it was 50 square meters or more,
[00:02:53] the financial amounts and fees would increase
[00:02:56] for the citizen. After this meeting and after
[00:03:00] discussing the living situation of the people of Quneitra Governorate, especially
[00:03:04] the border villages adjacent to the ceasefire line and located within the
[00:03:08] buffer zone in the northern Quneitra countryside, from the town of Jubat Al-Khashab
[00:03:11] to the central Quneitra countryside
[00:03:15] pressing, while towards the town of Hamidiya, towards
[00:03:16] the Halabi the southern Quneitra countryside, Saida Al-Rafid Al-Muallaqa, reaching the far
[00:03:20] south of Quneitra, the administrative area with the
[00:03:24] Daraa Governorate, the fees were reduced by 50%.
[00:03:28] While it was 5 million for a
[00:03:30] 50-square-meter license, today it has become two and a half
[00:03:33] million, approximately two and a half million, up to 100 meters, meaning
[00:03:37] the fees are also reduced for these building permits,
[00:03:41] which used to exceed five million Syrian pounds. Today,
[00:03:43] when citizens submit building permits
[00:03:47] through municipalities and through the engineering office, fees are reduced,
[00:03:50] especially if it is proven that they reside within these
[00:03:53] areas, areas within the buffer zone, within the area
[00:03:57] adjacent to the ceasefire line, of course, to alleviate the suffering
[00:04:00] of the people of Quneitra Governorate, especially these villages adjacent to the ceasefire line,
[00:04:04] where Israeli occupation army incursions are very
[00:04:08] frequent, and farmers and civilians there are being restricted
[00:04:11] in this area, also to stabilize the residents and to rebuild
[00:04:15] this area and continue construction
[00:04:19] within these areas. These residents
[00:04:22] are the ones who are strengthening the people of Quneitra Governorate
[00:04:26] and establishing their roots in this land to prevent displacement
[00:04:30] and Israeli incursions. This matter may reduce
[00:04:33] their suffering and keep them on their land. This
[00:04:37] is what was stated in the memorandum of understanding,
[00:04:40] of power cuts and today, the application of this
[00:04:41] and reliance on decree and this agreement has begun through
[00:04:45] markets are flooded with engineering offices and through municipalities that issue permits
[00:04:48] Thank you for all these details, Mohammed Fahd,
[00:04:50] at lower prices, our correspondent from Syria TV. You were with us from Quneitra.
[00:04:54] President Ahmed Al-Shara emphasized that Syria
[00:04:57] will rely heavily on Syrian expertise
[00:05:01] that has gained experience abroad and succeeded abroad,
[00:05:04] and sought to transfer this success story to
[00:05:07] the country, during his meeting with a delegation of Syrian
[00:05:11] experts and specialists in the technology
[00:05:14] and innovation sector. President Al-Shara said that Syria has
[00:05:18] many opportunities in light of its important geographical location
[00:05:21] and the absence of digital infrastructure, which allows
[00:05:25] it to benefit from the latest global advancements
[00:05:28] instead of relying on old infrastructure
[00:05:31] and replacing it at high
[00:05:34] costs. He pointed out that rebuilding from scratch
[00:05:37] represents an important opportunity for Syria.
[00:05:41] He also noted that digital infrastructure is linked
[00:05:44] to government institutions and reconstruction
[00:05:46] projects, including residential reconstruction, explaining that
[00:05:50] digital life is involved in various
[00:05:54] details
[00:05:55] of life.
[00:06:00] The General Organization for Social Insurance
[00:06:04] announced the launch of two new services
[00:06:07] for notification via text messages as part
[00:06:10] of its digital transformation efforts
[00:06:13] and to facilitate reviewers. The organization
[00:06:16] clarified that the first service targets
[00:06:20] business owners who have been warned and are delinquent in
[00:06:23] paying their dues for three months,
[00:06:27] to alert them to the need to contact the organization
[00:06:30] and pay their outstanding financial liabilities. The second
[00:06:33] service includes subscribers who are self-employed
[00:06:37] under Ministerial Decision No. 778
[00:06:41] of 2005, and are delinquent in payment
[00:06:44] for six months, emphasizing that
[00:06:48] the step aims to improve the quality
[00:06:50] of services and save
[00:06:54] for reviewers.
[00:07:01] The Directorate of Transport in Raqqa Governorate
[00:07:04] announced the official start of its work after completing
[00:07:08] technical preparations and linking the directorate with the relevant
[00:07:11] authorities. This comes after a closure that lasted
[00:07:15] more than 13
[00:07:22] years. The Director of Transport
[00:07:25] in Raqqa began its work by providing all
[00:07:28] types of services to citizens, including
[00:07:31] special inspection reports for the court, and
[00:07:34] including placing and lifting mortgage liens,
[00:07:39] lien on cars. Of course,
[00:07:43] in terms of linking with other entities,
[00:07:47] we have banks that have not yet been activated
[00:07:50] for electronic payment. Currently, they have not been activated.
[00:07:54] The traffic branch department is ready. The building
[00:07:57] is completely ready. The traffic administration came and
[00:08:00] took its place to issue traffic clearance
[00:08:04] for cars, because traffic clearance is essential
[00:08:08] for car renewal and licensing of vehicles, European entry. We will do
[00:08:11] it all, God willing.
[00:08:14] Of course, God willing,
[00:08:17] we still have the Peace Spring area and the Autonomous
[00:08:20] Administration. The integration is currently ongoing
[00:08:24] and not yet complete. Once the integration is complete,
[00:08:27] we will provide the following service to citizens, God willing, in Peace
[00:08:30] Spring and the Autonomous Administration.
[00:08:33] Leather shoe manufacturing workshops in Aleppo
[00:08:37] are facing increasing difficulties due to rising
[00:08:40] production costs and competition from imported
[00:08:43] shoes, which puts artisans before challenges to continue
[00:08:47] their profession
[00:08:48] and maintain their workshops.
[00:08:52] Leather shoe manufacturing workshops in Aleppo
[00:08:56] are witnessing a sharp decline in a profession for which the city
[00:08:59] was known for decades and employed hundreds
[00:09:02] of workshops and thousands of artisans. Rising production
[00:09:06] costs, along with competition from imported
[00:09:09] products, pose challenges that threaten
[00:09:12] its continuation. The difficulties we are facing are the same, nothing
[00:09:16] has changed. Electricity prices are high,
[00:09:20] and in addition, we are adding an
[00:09:23] ampere. The workforce has become scarce because workers' wages
[00:09:26] are low and not enough, and if we raise
[00:09:29] wages, it's not enough for us. Prices are
[00:09:32] high for everything. If you raise workers' wages,
[00:09:36] them, but it's not enough for them.
[00:09:39] Workshop owners link the price increase to the
[00:09:43] rising costs of leather and raw materials,
[00:09:47] in addition to workers' wages and electricity bills
[00:09:50] due to long hours
[00:09:54] generators. In contrast,
[00:09:57] imported shoes from China and Turkey
[00:10:02] which led to a decline in demand for local products
[00:10:06] despite their quality. I came after the liberation. I
[00:10:09] said my country, I brought my money,
[00:10:13] I brought my work here to open a business, and he told me that since
[00:10:16] then until now, I'm at a loss. The money
[00:10:20] I brought is almost gone. But the problem
[00:10:23] is that I bring workers, and
[00:10:29] they don't agree. I bring goods that are expensive. Brother,
[00:10:32] I have goods that come from China
[00:10:35] cheaper than what you have. This is the
[00:10:38] reason why the business is going
[00:10:42] backward. Traders believe that the demand for imported
[00:10:45] shoes is not only related to price,
[00:10:47] but also to their ability to achieve
[00:10:51] a better profit margin, in addition to their
[00:10:55] variety and availability at competitive
[00:10:58] prices that meet consumer desires.
[00:11:01] For foreign or national goods, honestly,
[00:11:04] people are demanding according to their purchasing
[00:11:07] power. But most are demanding Chinese
[00:11:11] products due to their quality and clean
[00:11:14] work. National products are a bit worn
[00:11:19] The quality of shoes is a bit worn out due
[00:11:22] to the lack of raw materials and
[00:11:26] machines, and improving the quality of work
[00:11:30] in factories. With these challenges continuing,
[00:11:33] a number of artisans were forced to close
[00:11:38] the profession permanently, while the younger generation avoids
[00:11:42] learning it, facing one of Aleppo's oldest
[00:11:46] crafts with the risk of decline after
[00:11:50] decades of its presence in local markets
[00:11:53] and competition with foreign
[00:11:55] products. Farmers in the Idlib countryside began
[00:11:59] the olive harvest season amid expectations of
[00:12:01] an abundant yield,
[00:12:07] with the fruit load of trees estimated
[00:12:10] at about 85%, coinciding with the
[00:12:14] continuation of harvesting and sorting operations in preparation
[00:12:18] for marketing and pressing. The Surani
[00:12:21] or Ma'arri, as it is locally
[00:12:24] known, is one of the most prominent varieties for which
[00:12:28] Idlib is famous, along with other
[00:12:31] secondary varieties such as Abu Shawka, Al-Nassasi, Al-Zayti,
[00:12:34] and Al-Shami, which
[00:12:37] differ in their characteristics and uses. At the
[00:12:41] Jeddah Conference in 1910, a decision was issued
[00:12:44] by the economic conferees that the city
[00:12:46] of Idlib is the best in the world
[00:12:49] in terms of olive season, taste, quality,
[00:12:53] and production. It's a good
[00:12:55] season this year, thank God, the olives are good,
[00:12:59] and from now on, people will start harvesting olives.
[00:13:02] Usually, at the end of October,
[00:13:06] olive harvesting begins. So we are at
[00:13:09] the beginning now, we are collecting the olives
[00:13:12] and working according to the usual customs
[00:13:16] in olive production. The harvest dates vary
[00:13:18] between regions of the governorate depending
[00:13:22] on the type of olive, the degree of
[00:13:25] ripeness of the fruits, and the climatic conditions.
[00:13:29] Some fruits are designated for table use
[00:13:32] and others are transported to olive presses.
[00:13:35] The Surani is suitable for both pickling and
[00:13:41] or Majhoul is designated for
[00:13:45] preparing provisions. There are different types
[00:13:48] of olives. There's the Ma'arri, the Surani.
[00:13:52] Some people, each region has its
[00:13:56] own names. We
[00:13:59] say the Halabi is used for pickling,
[00:14:02] for making provisions, for pressing. This
[00:14:05] type that we are working with is
[00:14:09] exclusively for this. Some people sort
[00:14:12] some types from it. Some people like to
[00:14:15] also take some for provisions. They sort
[00:14:18] the green ones from it for provisions. They take them to
[00:14:22] the wholesale market.
[00:14:25] Farmers describe this year's crop as
[00:14:28] good compared to previous seasons,
[00:14:31] hoping that its improvement will reflect on their
[00:14:34] income and help them cover the
[00:14:38] costs of caring for the trees
[00:14:41] and harvesting. With trees laden
[00:14:43] with fruit, Idlib appears
[00:14:47] to be facing a bountiful season that
[00:14:51] promises good things, but the abundance of
[00:14:55] the crop does not necessarily mean greater
[00:14:57] profits for farmers or lower prices
[00:15:01] for consumers. The season remains
[00:15:05] subject to market developments. Elaaf

[00:15:12] The General Authority for Ghab Management
[00:15:15] and Development denied the circulating accusations
[00:15:19] regarding raiding homes and confiscating firewood
[00:15:22] from residents during a forestry campaign
[00:15:25] in the Ain Al-Kroum area in Hama
[00:15:29] countryside. The authority stated in a
[00:15:32] statement that what some social media
[00:15:35] accounts circulated about information and
[00:15:39] accusations against the employees of the Forestry Directorate
[00:15:56] is incorrect and does not reflect the
[00:16:00] truth of what happened, pointing out that the
[00:16:04] campaign was carried out in coordination
[00:16:08] with the administration of the Directorate and
[00:16:11] the Ain Al-Kroum sub-district department to
[00:16:14] control firewood collection
[00:17:35] violations and implement existing laws and regulations.
[00:17:39] The authority stressed its right to take
[00:17:43] legal action against anyone who is proven
[00:17:46] to have deliberately published false information or
[00:17:49] slandered its employees. The Syrian Ministry of
[00:17:53] Culture mourned the poet and painter
[00:17:56] Fatima Al-Suwada, who passed away in
[00:18:00] Istanbul after a struggle with cancer,
[00:18:04] leaving behind a literary
[00:18:09] and artistic legacy and a prominent
[00:18:13] presence in the Syrian cultural scene. More
[00:18:17] about her in the following article.
[00:18:20] US President Donald Trump announced that
[00:18:24] Russia and Ukraine have reached an
[00:18:27] energy truce, to take effect immediately.
[00:18:30] Trump said on his Truth Social
[00:18:34] page that the two sides agreed to
[00:18:38] cease targeting energy facilities, without
[00:18:41] disclosing further details about the scope
[00:18:45] of the agreement or its implementation mechanism.
[00:18:48] No official confirmation
[00:19:10] has been issued from Moscow or
[00:19:13] Kyiv regarding reaching the truce.
[00:19:17] Two European officials told CNN that US President
[00:19:20] Donald Trump warned Ukraine that he would
[00:19:24] stop intelligence support if it did not
[00:19:27] stop attacking Russian
[00:19:32] energy facilities. The network added
[00:19:35] that Washington also warned Kyiv that
[00:19:38] it would stop Europe from buying
[00:19:42] US weapons for it if it
[00:19:45] continued its attacks. According to the
[00:19:49] network, these warnings were issued by
[00:19:52] the US Departments of State and
[00:19:56] Defense during
[00:19:58] the weekend to officials in Ukraine
[00:20:02] and Europe, and included direct
[00:20:05] contacts from the US military to
[00:20:08] Ukrainian military leaders.
[00:20:12] For more details,
[00:20:13] our correspondent from Moscow, Laila Kaf
[00:20:17] Al-Ghazal, joins us. Laila, welcome.
[00:20:21] So, American warnings to Ukraine
[00:20:25] against targeting Russian energy sources
[00:20:28] or facilities. What are the
[00:20:32] reactions you have in Moscow?
[00:20:35] Hello, Yaman. First of all, it
[00:20:39] should be mentioned that the official
[00:20:43] spokesperson for the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov,
[00:20:46] denied having any
[00:20:51] information about the alleged agreement
[00:20:53] announced by US President Donald Trump
[00:20:57] regarding a Russian-Ukrainian truce in the energy
[00:21:00] sector. He said that he highly
[00:21:04] appreciates American efforts
[00:21:08] aimed at a settlement, and
[00:21:11] that the negotiation process between Moscow
[00:21:14] and Washington on Ukraine is ongoing.
[00:21:18] He stressed that the Kremlin
[00:21:20] would provide
[00:21:22] details of the agreement if
[00:21:25] it is reached. As for the
[00:21:29] from Trump to Kyiv regarding
[00:21:34] to intelligence support, as
[00:21:37] reported in Western and American media,
[00:21:41] based on diplomatic
[00:21:42] sources, federal media
[00:21:46] also covered these leaks,
[00:21:50] but it should be noted that
[00:21:53] this information and these circulating
[00:21:56] news remain at the level
[00:22:00] of analysis or leaks
[00:22:02] and have not been confirmed
[00:22:05] by any official party,
[00:22:09] whether in Moscow or
[00:22:12] in Kyiv, regarding the
[00:22:15] accuracy of this issue. Also,
[00:22:19] experts differed
[00:22:21] in their assessment of
[00:22:25] the nature of this threat.
[00:22:28] Some in Russia claim
[00:22:32] that this threat
[00:22:35] was clear and direct,
[00:22:38] but others claim that
[00:22:42] the United States mentioned
[00:22:45] that this threat was
[00:22:49] in the form of a reminder
[00:22:53] that the United States has
[00:22:55] been providing intelligence support
[00:22:58] to Kyiv since the
[00:23:02] beginning of what is called the
[00:23:05] Russian military operation, especially
[00:23:08] in Ukraine. And Washington
[00:23:11] is also considered
[00:23:14] the main supporter or the main
[00:23:18] financier of
[00:23:25] in addition to Western aid,
[00:23:28] of course. So there
[00:23:34] interpretations of these leaks,
[00:23:37] and so far there is no
[00:23:40] official confirmation or denial
[00:23:44] of the accuracy of this information.
[00:23:47] In addition, the Kremlin
[00:23:51] confirmed that Moscow is
[00:23:54] prepared
[00:25:00] announcement of a ceasefire in the
[00:25:03] energy sector
[00:25:05] between Russia
[00:25:14] and Ukraine. Kallas expressed
[00:25:18] her hope for
[00:25:22] an agreement that would not lead
[00:25:25] to casualties
[00:25:32] and added that
[00:25:34] it is unclear
[00:25:39] whether Moscow will adhere
[00:25:41] to the ceasefire.
[00:25:56] Kallas called on the United
[00:25:59] States to impose sanctions on Russia,
[00:26:04] noting that the European Union will
[00:26:08] urge Washington to do so
[00:26:11] until the
[00:26:12] war
[00:26:17] between the two sides effectively
[00:26:19] ends. Thank you for
[00:26:23] watching. Farewell. We were sitting
[00:26:25] inside, and these people
[00:26:29] here, we cry over them,
[00:26:32] by God. We hear the pain
[00:26:35] of their bones breaking.
[00:26:39] Every blanket I smell,
[00:26:42] I feel there's blood mixed
[00:26:44] with the smell
[00:26:50] of humans. When they
[00:26:52] call our
[00:26:56] name for torture, you truly don't
[00:27:00] know if you'll come
[00:27:05] back alive or dead.
[00:27:08] I remember hearing
[00:27:10] the gray hair
[00:27:14] turn white on my head.
[00:27:17] The soul that is tortured is the one
[00:27:34] that doesn't
[00:27:36] leave.
[00:27:38] Now you can watch
[00:27:42] Syria TV
