[00:00:10] Maya Hashem, Syria TV correspondent, joins us from Beirut.
[00:00:13] Maya, welcome. So, the end of the open hunger
[00:00:16] strike in Al-Masjid
[00:00:19] after 30 days since the start of this
[00:00:22] strike. Tell us
[00:00:25] more details about this topic,
[00:00:29] Maya.
[00:00:34] Yes, Furat. Indeed, the Constitutional Council rejected the appeal against
[00:00:38] the general amnesty law with the amendment to some articles in
[00:00:41] the general amnesty law, so this law becomes effective
[00:00:44] and also applicable for progress
[00:00:48] and implementation, but this did
[00:00:51] not come and was
[00:00:53] after decades of its presence in
[00:00:53] and farms and is limited to not welcomed by a large number of
[00:00:54] areas that do not prisoners in Rumiyeh prison and outside Rumiyeh prison
[00:00:57] who are on hunger strike
[00:01:00] from medicine. Nevertheless, it was announced that
[00:01:03] the strike would be stopped and thus move
[00:01:07] to a new phase, which is the announcement
[00:01:10] that the prisoners who are on hunger strike today
[00:01:13] and refusing medicine have entered a new phase, which is
[00:01:17] the phase of responding to the Constitutional Council.
[00:01:20] Therefore, this decision was not welcomed by a large number of
[00:01:24] prisoners because there is what is called a constitutional
[00:01:29] skill in reservation or an interpretive reservation made by the
[00:01:32] Constitutional Council. It was supposed to amend these articles in
[00:01:35] the Parliament, but the Constitutional Council rejected the appeal
[00:01:39] and also with the amendment of some
[00:01:43] articles. These articles are
[00:01:47] the world instead of originally, meaning the Parliament is authorized to adopt them according to
[00:01:50] the judiciary and not the
[00:01:53] and stories that Constitutional Council. However, there are a number of prisoners who will not benefit from this
[00:01:56] law and will not
[00:01:59] us and reduce benefit from the rejection of the appeal by the Constitutional Council. Despite
[00:02:02] the fact that a large number of prisoners will not benefit
[00:02:06] at all from the general amnesty law, including
[00:02:10] in the hearts, those
[00:02:13] the hearts, who have lawsuits for fighting and warring against the Lebanese army and security forces,
[00:02:17] a large number of these would have benefited from
[00:02:20] the reduction of prison sentences. Therefore,
[00:02:23] today, rejecting the appeal in this way, a large number of
[00:02:28] of more pottery prisoners will not benefit from the reduction of prison sentences.
[00:02:31] Consequently, the prison sentences
[00:02:35] 1977 for many prisoners will remain as they are. There is a reservation on
[00:02:39] many of the articles, but also, on the other hand, it will
[00:02:43] include drug users, not drug dealers,
[00:02:46] but those who use and promote
[00:02:49] drugs. In addition, approximately between 20
[00:02:53] and 4,000 people from
[00:02:56] and effort for prisoners in Lebanon, whether Syrian or
[00:03:03] and do not compromise tomorrow. Questions that Lebanese nationals, will benefit from the general amnesty law. Judicial procedures today are closer to implementation.
[00:03:05] In about half an hour, these articles will be published
[00:03:09] the best in in detail and this law will be activated
[00:03:12] so that it becomes effective
[00:03:15] and active, and the largest number of prisoners
[00:03:19] who will benefit from the statement published by a large
[00:03:22] number of prisoners who today
[00:03:25] announced the end of
[00:03:28] Aleppo, from the strike and the transition to a new phase.
[00:03:31] General amnesty law, but
[00:03:38] TV Radio is on addition to competition from they are still demanding that a large number will benefit, but what is called the interpretive reservation made by the Constitutional
[00:03:41] Council prevented a considerable number of prisoners from
[00:03:45] benefiting from this law. Yes.
[00:03:49] Thank you very much, Maya Hashem, Syria TV correspondent. You were
[00:03:52] with us from
[00:03:53] Beirut.
[00:04:02] types of olives. There is The Civil Defense warned of foggy
[00:04:03] Ma'ari, there is and dusty weather in
[00:04:07] Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, and Al-Hasakah governorates, with a decrease in horizontal
[00:04:10] visibility. The Civil Defense, in a statement, called on citizens,
[00:04:14] especially those with respiratory diseases, to be careful
[00:04:18] and follow preventive instructions, and the necessity of using
[00:04:21] generators. In medical masks and protective and reliance on goggles, in addition to
[00:04:24] calling on drivers to reduce speed and turn on
[00:04:28] vehicle lights.
[00:04:34] The directorates of education in Deir ez-Zor governorate had decided to suspend
[00:04:38] classes today in all schools in the governorate. It explained that the decision
[00:04:42] comes due to the current weather conditions and to ensure the safety of
[00:04:45] students and teaching
[00:04:47] staff.
[00:04:54] Musab Al-Hant, Syria TV correspondent, joins us from Deir ez-Zor.
[00:04:57] Musab, so where has
[00:05:00] the dust storm that is hitting the eastern
[00:05:04] region in
[00:05:05] In every corner of this Syria reached?
[00:05:09] Greetings to you, Furat, and to our dear viewers.
[00:05:11] The storm, in fact, covered the governorate of
[00:05:15] Deir ez-Zor completely after the early morning hours and lasted
[00:05:18] for about three hours, during which visibility decreased
[00:05:22] to very low levels, almost disappearing in some
[00:05:25] areas, Furat, and caused injuries. That is,
[00:05:28] the storm caused minor injuries and limited
[00:05:32] health cases, while the Directorate of Education suspended
[00:05:35] school attendance in all of Deir ez-Zor governorate
[00:05:39] to ensure the safety of students amidst
[00:05:42] warnings of possible weather fluctuations during
[00:05:46] the coming days. Of course, the storm that started after
[00:05:49] dawn caused disruption of movement
[00:05:53] on some roads, with minor injuries recorded, including the injury of a man
[00:05:56] who was riding a motorcycle and was transferred
[00:06:00] to the National Hospital in Deir ez-Zor
[00:06:04] and received the necessary treatment. Also, some
[00:06:08] health cases related to asthma
[00:06:11] and difficulty breathing
[00:06:14] required transporting the injured
[00:06:17] to the hospital for
[00:06:20] medical care. Furat, also,
[00:06:23] the storm moved east towards areas in the countryside of
[00:06:27] Deir ez-Zor governorate, reaching the
[00:06:30] Syrian border with Iraq, according
[00:06:33] to the information we received. Of course, as it approached
[00:06:37] 9 AM, the storm began
[00:06:40] to recede from Deir
[00:06:42] ez-Zor. In view of these
[00:06:46] weather conditions that accompanied the storm, the Directorate of
[00:06:49] Education announced the suspension of school attendance in all of Deir ez-Zor
[00:06:53] governorate, in a step aimed at protecting
[00:06:56] students and reducing their exposure
[00:06:59] to the dangers of dust and reduced
[00:07:03] visibility. Also, traffic was very light in
[00:07:06] the streets of Deir ez-Zor until the storm receded and the residents returned
[00:07:10] to their work. Cars and pedestrians
[00:07:13] came out. The storm ended around
[00:07:17] 9 AM. There were previous warnings, Furat,
[00:07:19] about a month ago, from the
[00:07:23] Ministry of Emergency and Disasters, warning Deir ez-Zor,
[00:07:26] Raqqa, Al-Hasakah, and areas of Aleppo, warning of
[00:07:29] rainstorms accompanied by lightning
[00:07:32] and thunder, and that there might be severe windstorms
[00:07:36] and also dust storms hitting
[00:07:38] these areas. It told residents that those who live in high
[00:07:42] areas, on rooftops, should secure any
[00:07:46] object that might fly away, especially
[00:07:49] solar panels, unfastened water
[00:07:53] tanks, and if there are aluminum sheets or anything that
[00:07:56] the wind might take,
[00:08:00] to ensure the safety of the residents. Also, it urged the residents
[00:08:04] to take these warnings seriously, but
[00:08:07] I hear around me
[00:08:10] ambulances, perhaps
[00:08:13] the sound is clear and reached us clearly.
[00:08:16] Where, I mean, what is happening, and how
[00:08:19] long is this dust storm expected to last?
[00:08:23] Now, at about 9 o'clock,
[00:08:27] the dust has actually cleared. The storm has moved eastward
[00:08:30] to Al-Bukamal on the Syrian-Iraqi border. The ambulance
[00:08:34] is. We are now near the military
[00:08:37] bridge, the main crossing that separates the east and west
[00:08:41] of the Euphrates. Whenever there are ambulances going
[00:08:44] to those areas, bringing patients because the National
[00:08:48] Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in the city
[00:08:51] of Deir ez-Zor, it is about three to four
[00:08:54] kilometers away from here. I don't know what was
[00:08:58] inside this ambulance. Perhaps we will hear
[00:09:02] the news or know what the news is
[00:09:05] in the coming hours and at the top of the next hour.
[00:09:08] But in the whole governorate,
[00:09:11] what we heard from the Directorate of Emergency and Disasters in
[00:09:15] Deir ez-Zor and the Civil Defense, they told us that the storm
[00:09:19] will continue for perhaps two or three weeks. There might
[00:09:22] be a rainstorm accompanied by lightning and thunder, and also
[00:09:26] there might be strong winds, very heavy rains, and there might
[00:09:30] also be a dust storm. These weather forecasts predicted
[00:09:33] by the Syrian Meteorological Department might hit
[00:09:36] Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa, Al-Hasakah, and parts of
[00:09:40] Aleppo. Thank you very much, Musab. Al-Hant, Syria TV correspondent in Deir
[00:09:44] ez-Zor.
[00:09:48] In Idlib, heavy rains that fell last night caused
[00:09:51] significant damage to some camps in the governorate.
[00:09:54] Displaced people documented the conditions of their tents in the Barisha
[00:09:57] area in the countryside of Idlib governorate.
[00:11:01] Quneitra Governorate approved a 50% reduction in building
[00:11:04] permit fees in a number of border villages adjacent to the occupied
[00:11:08] Syrian Golan. The decision came under a memorandum of understanding signed
[00:11:12] by the governorate in cooperation with the Engineers Syndicate to include
[00:11:15] 14 villages
[00:11:19] exceed 100 square meters, with the aim of
[00:11:23] alleviating the financial burdens on the residents and enhancing stability in the border
[00:11:27] areas amidst difficult living conditions and the continued
[00:11:30] Israeli violations, amidst calls to expand the scope
[00:11:33] of the decision to include the rest of the villages and towns
[00:11:37] of the governorate.
[00:11:41] President Ahmed Al-Shara affirmed that Syria will rely heavily on Syrian
[00:11:45] competencies who have gained experience outside the country
[00:11:48] and succeeded abroad, and sought to transfer the success
[00:11:52] experience to the inside, during his meeting with experts
[00:11:56] and Syrian specialists in the technology and innovation sector. Al-Shara
[00:11:59] said that Syria has many
[00:12:02] opportunities within its important geographical location and the absence
[00:12:05] of digital infrastructure, which allows benefiting from the latest
[00:12:09] advancements in
[00:12:12] relying on old infrastructure and replacing it at great cost. He pointed
[00:12:15] out that rebuilding from scratch represents an important opportunity
[00:12:19] for Syria. He also noted that digital infrastructure is linked
[00:12:22] to government institutions and reconstruction projects, including residential reconstruction,
[00:12:25] explaining that digital life is involved in
[00:12:29] various aspects of
[00:12:30] life.
[00:12:35] The General Organization for Social Insurance announced the launch
[00:12:39] of two new services for notification via short
[00:12:42] text messages as part of digital transformation efforts and to facilitate
[00:12:46] procedures for visitors. The organization explained that the first service
[00:12:49] targets business owners who have been warned and are defaulting on
[00:12:53] their payments for three months
[00:12:57] to alert them of the need to visit the organization and settle the financial
[00:13:00] liabilities owed by them. As for the second service, it includes
[00:13:04] self-insured subscribers subject to Ministerial Decision
[00:13:07] No. 778 for the year
[00:13:10] 2075 and who have defaulted on payment for
[00:13:13] six months, emphasizing that the step aims
[00:13:17] to improve the quality of services and save time
[00:13:21] visitors.
[00:13:28] Leather shoe manufacturing workshops in Aleppo face
[00:13:31] increasing difficulties due to rising production costs
[00:13:35] and competition from imported shoes, which puts artisans
[00:13:38] in front of challenges to continue their profession
[00:13:41] and preserve their
[00:13:44] workshops. Leather shoe manufacturing workshops in Aleppo are witnessing
[00:13:48] a sharp decline in a profession that the
[00:13:50] city has been known for for decades and employed hundreds of workshops and thousands of workers.
[00:13:56] Rising production costs, in
[00:13:59] imported products, put this industry in front of
[00:14:03] challenges that threaten its continuity. The difficulties we are
[00:14:06] suffering from are the same, nothing has changed. That is, electricity, high
[00:14:10] electricity prices. That is, in addition to that, we are adding
[00:14:13] amperes. And the labor force has become scarce because it doesn't
[00:14:17] pay workers. Wages are low, and if we raise wages,
[00:14:20] it doesn't pay for us. That is, goods are expensive.
[00:14:24] Everything is rising. Workers' wages have risen for them.
[00:14:28] They are still low. Workers' wages don't pay for them. That is,
[00:14:31] workshop owners link local price increases
[00:14:34] to rising costs of leather and raw
[00:14:37] materials, as well as workers' wages and electricity
[00:14:41] bills, amidst long power cuts
[00:14:46] contrast, markets are flooded with imported shoes from China
[00:14:50] and Turkey at lower prices, which led
[00:14:53] to a decrease in demand for local products despite
[00:14:56] their quality. After the liberation, I said my country
[00:15:00] is from another country. I brought my money, I brought my
[00:15:03] things. We came down here to open a business, and he told me from that
[00:15:07] time until now, it's a loss. The money I brought
[00:15:10] will run out. But the problem is, you bring a worker, he doesn't accept it.
[00:15:14] You bring expensive goods. You bring the piece to
[00:15:17] the merchant. The merchant says, "Brother, I have goods. I have
[00:15:21] goods that come from China cheaper than, cheaper than yours."
[00:15:25] So, this is the reason that is making the business go
[00:15:29] backwards. Traders believe that the demand for imported
[00:15:32] shoes is not only related to price, but
[00:15:35] also to their ability to achieve better profit, in addition
[00:15:39] to their diversity and availability at competitive prices
[00:15:42] that meet consumers' desires. Regarding
[00:15:46] foreign or national products, honestly,
[00:15:49] people, that is, according to their purchasing
[00:15:51] power, are asking, but most are asking for the Chinese
[00:15:55] piece for its quality, honestly, and the cleanliness
[00:15:57] of its work. The national piece is a little weak now
[00:16:01] regarding shoes. The quality of shoes is a little weak
[00:16:04] due to the scarcity of materials.
[00:16:13] With these challenges continuing,
[00:16:16] a number of artisans have been forced to close their workshops or leave the profession
[00:16:20] entirely, while the younger generation shies away from
[00:16:23] learning it, facing one of Aleppo's oldest
[00:16:27] crafts with the risk of decline
[00:16:30] local markets and competition with foreign
[00:16:34] products.
[00:16:37] The head of the Leather Craftsmanship Association in Aleppo,
[00:16:41] Hassan Kannas, explained to Syria TV the reasons for the closure
[00:16:44] of a large number of workshops in the city
[00:16:47] and demanded a reduction in customs duties on raw materials for
[00:16:50] artisans. The workshops closed their doors
[00:16:54] because of the Chinese product. They couldn't
[00:16:57] stand or compete with the Chinese product, of course.
[00:17:01] Our artisan, I told you, he has
[00:17:06] performance. But he lacks development.
[00:17:10] Only to develop his machines
[00:17:12] and keep up with fashion and follow fashion
[00:17:15] to keep up. He needs, he needs,
[00:17:19] he needs to go out, travel, and there should be external
[00:17:23] exhibitions to open external markets.
[00:17:26] Also, we have another
[00:17:28] aspect. We have raw materials.
[00:17:31] If the government would be kind to
[00:17:36] the customs duties on raw materials, and energy
[00:17:40] carriers are secured.
[00:17:42] An industrial city, for example, a craft cluster so that
[00:17:46] the individual can work and be gathered in one
[00:17:50] place. This is very important.
[00:17:53] Farmers in the Idlib countryside began the olive harvest season amid expectations
[00:17:56] of abundant production, as the percentage of tree
[00:18:00] yield is estimated at about
[00:18:01] 25%.
[00:18:07] Under the shade of olive trees, Abu Ahmed turns
[00:18:10] its fruits between his hands, checking the degree of
[00:18:14] its ripeness in preparation for the start of the harvest season, which has been long
[00:18:18] awaited. The Sourani or Ma'ari, as
[00:18:21] it is known locally, is one of the most prominent varieties that Idlib
[00:18:25] is famous for, alongside other secondary varieties
[00:18:28] such as Abu Shawka, Annasasi, Zayti,
[00:18:32] and Shami, whose characteristics
[00:18:34] and uses differ.
[00:18:37] At the Jeddah conference in 1910,
[00:18:40] a decision was issued by the economic conferees that the city
[00:18:44] of Idlib is the world in terms of olive
[00:18:48] season, taste, quality, and production. It's a good season this
[00:18:52] year, thank God. Good olives.
[00:18:55] And there's production in the olives. And now, from now on, people will start
[00:18:59] harvesting olives, meaning usually at
[00:19:02] the beginning of late October,
[00:19:05] the olive harvest begins. So we are now starting to pick
[00:19:09] up the fallen olives and work according to the traditional methods in olive
[00:19:12] production. Harvest times vary
[00:19:16] between areas of the governorate depending on the type
[00:19:19] of olives, the degree of fruit ripeness, and the
[00:19:21] climatic conditions. Some fruits are allocated
[00:19:24] for table use, and others are transported to the presses.
[00:19:28] The Sourani is suitable for pickling and pressing simultaneously,
[00:19:31] while the Halabi or Majhoul is reserved
[00:19:34] for preparing provisions. Olive varieties. There are several
[00:19:41] Sourani. We, people, I mean, each region has
[00:19:44] its names. We call Halabi to make pickled
[00:19:48] olives for pounding, for pressing. This type that
[00:19:50] we are working with is suitable
[00:19:54] for pressing,
[00:19:56] exclusively.
[00:19:59] Some people sort, for example, from it types. Some people like to take
[00:20:02] some for provisions. They sort the green ones to take
[00:20:06] for provisions. They bring them down to
[00:20:09] Farmers describe this year's harvest as good
[00:20:11] compared to previous seasons,
[00:20:15] hoping that its improvement will reflect on their income
[00:20:19] to help them cover the costs of caring for the trees
[00:20:22] and harvesting. Amidst trees laden
[00:20:26] with their fruits, Idlib appears to be facing a
[00:20:29] bountiful season that promises good things. But
[00:20:32] an abundance of harvest does not necessarily mean greater
[00:20:36] profits for the farmer or lower prices
[00:20:39] for consumers. The season remains contingent
[00:20:42] on market developments. Alaf Al-Ali,
