[00:00:27] complete in and Craft Zones in operation will be determined according to their specific regulations and as required by the public interest,
[00:00:30] indicating the cancellation of anything that contradicts
[00:00:35] in the content of the decision.
[00:00:38] The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific
[00:00:41] In every corner of this Research, Marwan Al-Halabi, announced the dates for a number of competitions and academic entitlements.
[00:00:45] Al-Halabi clarified that the concerned teams are working to announce
[00:00:50] determining the course of the last the results of the general competition at the beginning of next week,
[00:00:52] while the results of postgraduate studies
[00:00:55] used tires in are expected by the end of the current
[00:00:57] year and the beginning of next year. The minister
[00:01:01] added that the results of the preparatory year student sorting competition
[00:01:05] are scheduled to be announced this week.
[00:01:08] The Ministry of Industry
[00:01:13] Democratic control of and Internal Trade launched
[00:01:16] a project to modernize and digitize the registration
[00:01:19] of Syrian companies in partnership with the US Department of State.
[00:01:23] The project aims to simplify the procedures for registering local
[00:01:27] and foreign companies and electronically archiving
[00:01:30] records, which supports
[00:01:32] the investment environment.
[00:01:37] the same time, there will The project, we are an American company funded by
[00:01:40] the American
[00:01:42] The number of participants in Department of State. We try to provide technical
[00:01:45] and in-kind support for the data
[00:01:48] center of the Ministry
[00:01:51] a result of Industry so that they can manage the data
[00:01:53] center and install
[00:01:56] voting or update all systems and support the modernization process.
[00:02:00] And digital transformation. The main goal, frankly, is
[00:02:03] to provide the appropriate and developed infrastructure,
[00:02:06] in addition to providing consultations
[00:02:10] and also providing technical and expert
[00:02:14] support. There will also be an exchange of experiences with neighboring
[00:02:18] countries or foreign experiences in the company
[00:02:21] registration process.
[00:02:25] In Raqqa, Al Basar International Foundation, in cooperation with
[00:02:28] the Health Directorate here, continues to implement a medical
[00:02:32] campaign to perform 400 eye surgeries in the National Hospital
[00:02:36] 75% of with the aim of providing medical and
[00:02:39] therapeutic services to patients and alleviating their financial burdens.
[00:02:52] The midterm elections in the United
[00:02:56] camp achieving the necessary Of course, the campaign is being implemented by Al Basar International Foundation in cooperation with the Health Directorate of Raqqa.
[00:03:00] The campaign targets 400 cases. We perform cataract extraction
[00:03:04] using the most advanced phaco technique with lens
[00:03:07] Oh, and you saw with your own eyes, but I will take you to implantation. The goal of the campaign is to alleviate financial burdens because
[00:03:10] a large number of patients are unable to receive medical assistance,
[00:03:13] so we prevent the occurrence of complications and the patient
[00:03:17] does not delay surgical intervention. Of course, the campaign targets, as we mentioned,
[00:03:20] To understand the importance of these
[00:03:21] the city of Kafr Zita, 400 cases. The campaign targets 400 cases. Today we performed
[00:03:26] their situation is difficult. They system of government, 100, and God willing, we will continue until the end of the campaign.
[00:03:30] We went to Damascus to perform an operation for my mother. The cost was
[00:03:34] expensive, with travel costs. It cost us about 6-7
[00:03:37] million. We came here, registered, and the situation
[00:03:40] is better than there, and closer to home.
[00:03:44] And the young men are good, and we
[00:03:47] hope that there will be other than ophthalmology,
[00:03:50] like cardiology and other specialties, such as pediatrics and general
[00:03:54] surgery.
[00:03:58] In Aleppo, the governorate launched the "Your Eye on Aleppo"
[00:04:02] application to receive complaints from residents related to cleanliness.
[00:04:04] The application allows reporting accumulated waste,
[00:04:08] overflowing or damaged containers, in addition to
[00:04:12] debris and demolition waste. The application
[00:04:14] can be accessed by scanning the attached QR code
[00:04:18] in the announcement, then selecting the type of complaint and submitting
[00:04:21] it. The Aleppo Governorate announced yesterday
[00:04:25] the start of the field operation
[00:04:27] Each state has two seats in of the sustainable cleanliness system.
[00:04:34] In Aleppo too, the governorate reopened the mill
[00:04:37] and grain silos in the city of Tel Rifaat after
[00:04:41] a hiatus of about 14 years, following the completion
[00:04:44] of its rehabilitation work, in cooperation between the Syrian
[00:04:48] Grain Corporation and the organizations Shaqaf
[00:04:51] and Global Communities. SANA quoted the director of the Syrian
[00:04:55] Grain Corporation branch in Aleppo, Mahmoud Abu Bakr, as saying that the storage
[00:04:58] capacity of the silos is 12,000 tons,
[00:05:02] local administrations in direct and it is expected to start receiving wheat crops from
[00:05:07] change in the results farmers in the area from the upcoming season. Abu
[00:05:11] keep the Senate Bakr clarified that the rehabilitation of the silos aims to increase the storage capacity
[00:05:14] for wheat crops and reduce transport costs, while
[00:05:18] the reoperation of the mill is expected to contribute to securing
[00:05:21] flour for bakeries
[00:05:25] in the region.
[00:05:32] We remain in Aleppo as well, as the Directorate of Industrial
[00:05:37] the governorate closed nine denim washing
[00:05:40] facilities due to their violation of environmental safety conditions
[00:05:43] and their reliance on burning used tires
[00:05:54] Industrial Zone in Aleppo. The governorate
[00:05:57] of Aleppo issued a decision to seal nine denim washing facilities in the Shaqif
[00:06:00] area. This was due to many complaints received about the owners of these
[00:06:04] facilities, as they operate
[00:06:07] burners. About two months ago, the governorate of Aleppo also
[00:06:11] issued a circular prohibiting the entry of used tires, but industrialists did not comply
[00:06:14] with this circular and smuggled tires into the Shaqif
[00:06:17] area. Of course, operating
[00:06:19] burners with these tires, whether used
[00:06:23] tires or plastic waste, pollutes
[00:06:25] the air and causes great harm to citizens
[00:06:29] and to textile factories and food
[00:06:33] factories to a great extent. We, as the Directorate of Industrial and Craft Zones in Aleppo,
[00:06:36] and under the guidance of the Governor, facilitate procedures
[00:06:40] greatly for industrialists, but not at the expense of citizens' health
[00:06:43] and not at the expense of pollution that harms the residents of Aleppo
[00:06:47] city.
[00:06:53] To Hasakah, where the southern countryside of Al-Shaddadi is witnessing
[00:06:56] an increasing spread of the black field cricket, which has invaded
[00:06:59] more than ten villages along the Khabour River,
[00:07:03] causing suffering to the residents, which forced
[00:07:06] some families to leave their homes after
[00:07:09] they failed to control its spread.
[00:07:12] Al-Shaddadi
[00:07:18] Today, we are in the village of Al-Thalja, suffering from
[00:07:21] these insects. We have been suffering for three consecutive days.
[00:07:25] Of course, these insects have multiplied here because
[00:07:28] the village is located on the bed of the Khabur River,
[00:07:32] and the Khabur River has
[00:07:34] salts, and I expect that these insects are due to the salts and the agricultural
[00:07:38] lands that have not been cultivated for two years.
[00:07:40] As a result of these lands, these insects have multiplied
[00:07:44] for two years. After the rain that
[00:07:47] fell on us, the season of goodness that came to us, these
[00:07:51] insects appeared suddenly from this side.
[00:07:54] Back then, when they first appeared, we said
[00:07:58] one day and then two, but we have been suffering for three days. By God, yesterday
[00:08:01] I got up and swept a whole bucket full of them.
[00:08:04] They came in droves. I came and slept
[00:08:07] in the open. By God, it was as if I entered the house. By God,
[00:08:11] I have nothing against you. From here,
[00:08:15] from here, may God guide them. They are attacking.
[00:08:19] the room. Ha!
[00:08:22] By God,
[00:08:23] By God.
[00:08:28] In the Hama countryside, despite the return of water and electricity networks to
[00:08:33] the city still suffers from a shortage of government
[00:08:37] institutions and departments, which forces residents to travel outside
[00:08:40] to complete their transactions, due to the lack of basic services
[00:08:44] such as the civil status department, which increases the burden
[00:08:48] on residents and hinders the return
[00:08:50] and settlement of displaced people.
[00:08:56] With heavy steps, Abu Ahmad wanders around
[00:08:59] his house in Kafr Zita in the northern Hama
[00:09:02] countryside, returning after years of displacement,
[00:09:06] hoping for stability, only to find himself, along with hundreds
[00:09:09] of families, facing a difficult
[00:09:12] service reality, as the absence of government
[00:09:15] institutions and vital facilities creates daily
[00:09:18] suffering in securing the simplest necessities of life
[00:09:21] amidst the rubble.
[00:09:25] 90% of those who were in the camps have returned to their
[00:09:28] homes, returned to the Kafr Zita area and there are many
[00:09:31] villages around us that need
[00:09:35] a hospital within the village. Our demands from the state
[00:09:38] and our hope is that we will have an agricultural bank,
[00:09:42] a court, and daily
[00:09:45] services for citizens. Even we suffer greatly from
[00:09:47] transportation. If you want to go down to Hama, you will suffer
[00:09:51] a lot. If you want to go down to Mharda, you don't have transportation to go down
[00:09:55] to Mharda. A scene that encapsulates
[00:09:58] a new chapter of suffering,
[00:10:01] where simple living and administrative
[00:10:04] requirements have turned into arduous journeys
[00:10:08] that burden the residents and put
[00:10:14] confrontation with a heavy legacy of destruction that exceeds
[00:10:17] their available capabilities.
[00:10:21] Previously, the city had government departments that exempted
[00:10:24] citizens from going elsewhere, and citizens
[00:10:28] could complete
[00:10:30] all their transactions through them without incurring
[00:10:34] the trouble of traveling to Mharda, the district
[00:10:38] center, and Hama, the governorate center. The city council
[00:10:41] demands the return of government
[00:10:44] departments to it by providing their
[00:10:48] own buildings as soon as possible, caught
[00:10:52] between popular need and limited response.
[00:10:56] The current phase remains governed by interim
[00:11:00] solutions and temporary measures, awaiting a comprehensive
[00:11:03] strategy to restore the region's integrated
[00:11:07] institutional presence.
[00:11:11] The city of Kafr Zita in the Hama countryside faces a lack of some
[00:11:15] service facilities and institutions, as official transactions
[00:11:18] are carried out outside the city, while some
[00:11:21] agricultural and municipal facilities operate from
[00:11:24] temporary headquarters, which limits their ability
[00:11:27] to meet the needs of the residents. Yasser Rouh, Syria TV,
[00:11:31] northern Hama countryside.
[00:11:59] More than 50 million voters cast their ballots early
[00:12:03] in the US midterm elections.
[00:12:07] early voting exceeded 50 and a half
[00:12:11] million voters, surpassing by approximately 5
[00:12:14] million the total early voting in the 2022
[00:12:17] elections. Republicans face
[00:12:20] difficulties in maintaining their majority amid
[00:12:24] rising voter concerns about the cost of living
[00:12:27] and the repercussions of the Iran war, while Democrats
[00:12:30] seek to regain control of both the House
[00:12:33] of Representatives
[00:12:34] and the Senate.
[00:12:41] The midterm elections in the United States of America are taking place
[00:12:44] to redraw the balance of power within the legislative
[00:12:48] institution, where competition is escalating
[00:12:51] between the Democratic and Republican parties to win
[00:12:55] a majority in both houses of Congress, in addition
[00:12:58] to elections to choose state governors, in a scene
[00:13:02] that determines the future of the next two years of President
[00:13:05] Trump's presidential term. More details
[00:13:08] about these elections and their context are in the following
[00:13:11] material with Bilal Al-Bizri.
[00:13:17] States are known by this name
[00:13:20] because they are held in the middle of the presidential term,
[00:13:23] which lasts for four years, and they represent
[00:13:26] a test of voter satisfaction with the president's
[00:13:30] performance and policies. During these elections, Americans go
[00:13:34] to the polls to elect members of both the House
[00:13:37] and Senate, as well as state
[00:13:41] governors and representatives in other local positions.
[00:13:45] elections, it is necessary to understand the American
[00:13:50] which is based on the separation of three powers: executive,
[00:13:53] led by the president; legislative, represented by Congress with its two
[00:13:57] chambers, the Senate and the House; and an independent judiciary,
[00:13:59] topped by the Supreme Court. This system aims
[00:14:03] to prevent the concentration of powers in one entity through the distribution
[00:14:07] of powers and the establishment of mechanisms for mutual
[00:14:11] oversight. The congressional elections include all
[00:14:14] seats in the House of Representatives, which number
[00:14:17] 435 seats, as its
[00:14:21] members are elected every two years,
[00:14:25] and the seats are distributed among the states according to their
[00:14:28] population. As for the Senate, which has 100 members,
[00:14:32] the term of membership is six years,
[00:14:36] and about one-third of its seats are renewed every two years.
[00:14:39] In these elections, candidates are competing for
[00:14:42] 35 seats. Republicans hold 22 of these
[00:14:46] seats, compared to
[00:14:49] 13 for Democrats.
[00:14:52] the council, regardless of its population
[00:14:55] or area. Republicans
[00:14:58] have a narrow majority in the House of Representatives,
[00:15:01] as they hold 218
[00:15:04] seats, compared to 214 for
[00:15:07] Democrats, with two vacant
[00:15:10] seats and one independent member. In the
[00:15:13] Senate, Republicans lead with 53 seats,
[00:15:17] compared to 45 for Democrats,
[00:15:20] and two seats for independents,
[00:15:23] who usually align with Democrats. This narrow majority
[00:15:26] makes the competition for congressional seats
[00:15:29] crucial, as a limited
[00:15:32] can flip the balance of power within one
[00:15:35] of the two chambers.
[00:15:39] to Congress, as 36 US
[00:15:42] states are holding elections to elect their governors,
[00:15:46] which is 72% of the total US
[00:15:49] states, which gives these elections
[00:15:52] an importance that transcends the federal level to the political
[00:15:56] scene within the states. The midterm
[00:15:59] elections are not limited to changing congressional
[00:16:02] members, but also extend to the president's
[00:16:06] ability to implement his legislative agenda.
[00:16:09] If his party retains the majority
[00:16:12] or loses it in one of the two chambers,
[00:16:15] it affects the approval of laws and budgets,
[00:16:17] and the ability of Congress to exercise oversight
[00:16:21] over the administration, which makes these elections
[00:16:25] a pivotal point in two years of
[00:16:28] the presidential term. A poll conducted by NBC
[00:16:32] News showed a seven-point
[00:16:35] lead for the Democratic
[00:16:37] Republican Party ahead of the midterm
[00:16:41] congressional elections scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday.
[00:16:45] According to the poll,
[00:16:47] 52% of participants supported
[00:16:51] Congress, compared to 45% for
[00:16:54] Republicans. The poll also revealed
[00:16:57] an increase in dissatisfaction with Trump's performance
[00:17:00] to 60%, while 64% of
[00:17:04] voters believed that he did not live up to their expectations
[00:17:08] amid growing discontent with the economic situation
[00:17:12] and his
[00:17:13] administration's policies.
[00:17:21] For more, I'm joined live from Washington by Syria TV correspondent Shaaban
[00:17:25] Abboud. Good evening, Shaaban. Welcome.
[00:17:28] How do the media view this increase in the
[00:17:31] turnout rate for
[00:17:35] by more than five million
[00:17:37] voters compared to the last election in
[00:17:40] 2022?
[00:17:43] Yes, Waseem, good evening. Some institutions even
[00:17:46] spoke of a much larger percentage than that.
[00:17:49] For example, the University of
[00:17:51] Florida spoke of about 10 million
[00:17:55] more voters than the previous elections,
[00:17:59] and this is a large number. Of course, among
[00:18:02] the voters who voted early,
[00:18:06] there is a large majority for the
[00:18:08] Democrats, which reflects the turnout. About
[00:18:14] Democrats said that they voted
[00:18:17] or will vote tomorrow compared
[00:18:21] to only 67%
[00:18:24] for Republicans. This reflects
[00:18:27] the importance of these elections for
[00:18:30] the Democrats, as most opinion polls here
[00:18:34] indicate that the Democrats are ahead.
[00:18:40] leading especially in the House of Representatives
[00:18:44] by a margin ranging from seven to
[00:18:47] nine percent. And if they
[00:18:50] win the House of Representatives, the task
[00:18:53] will be difficult for
[00:18:57] Republican candidates in the Senate
[00:19:01] because
[00:19:04] only have a majority
[00:19:08] of about 53
[00:19:11] seats, while
[00:19:14] the Democrats have about 47.
[00:19:17] So, the Democrats only need four additional
[00:19:21] seats to secure
[00:19:24] the majority
[00:19:27] in the Senate. If the Republicans lose
[00:19:30] the Senate, this will mean that they
[00:19:33] will lose the Council in both
[00:19:38] its chambers, the House and the Senate.
[00:19:42] This will complicate the next two years for
[00:19:45] President Trump and will make his task difficult, especially
[00:19:49] regarding the war with
[00:19:52] Iran. Of course, according to American
[00:19:55] media, American public opinion's concerns
[00:19:59] are all focused on the economic issue and rising prices
[00:20:03] in the first place, especially rising gasoline
[00:20:06] prices and the stance on the war.
[00:20:08] with Iran. These are all indicators against
[00:20:12] the Republican candidates.
[00:20:15] The main competition, Waseem, regarding
[00:20:18] the Senate will be focused
[00:20:21] in seven states: Texas,
[00:20:24] Michigan, Alaska,
[00:20:27] Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, and others.
[00:20:31] These are the swing states today.
[00:20:34] We will all know if the president
[00:20:39] will be a lame duck if he loses
[00:20:42] both chambers, or
[00:20:44] if he will
[00:20:48] at least. Yes. Is the public mood in the United
[00:20:52] States, Shaaban, suggesting that
[00:20:55] the midterm elections have practically become a referendum on
[00:20:59] Trump's performance during the past two years of
[00:21:02] his term? Exactly, this is the importance of these
[00:21:06] elections, Waseem. They are a referendum
[00:21:10] on the president's popularity and on the identity of the next
[00:21:13] president of the United States. Midterm
[00:21:17] elections that precede presidential elections
[00:21:20] by two years usually determine the identity of the next
[00:21:24] president of the United States. Tomorrow,
[00:21:27] everything will be clear, as we mentioned. All the
[00:21:30] poll numbers indicate that Democrats will
[00:21:34] sweep the House
[00:21:38] of Representatives with a majority,
[00:21:40] and the battles will be fierce only
[00:21:43] in the Senate, and Democrats only need
[00:21:46] four seats to break the Republican
[00:21:50] dominance. If the Republicans lose the Senate,
[00:21:54] considering that the House of Representatives
[00:21:57] and the voting trend, according to opinion polls
[00:22:01] so far, lean towards Democrats, then President
[00:22:04] Trump's situation will be very difficult, and at
[00:22:07] the same time, there will be difficulty
[00:22:11] in making any decisions or issuing any executive
[00:22:14] orders or regarding the funding of
[00:22:18] the war. If the war continues and so on,
[00:22:22] all of this, and at
[00:22:27] be a kind of partisan conflicts. We will enter
[00:22:30] a phase of partisan conflict, which in turn
[00:22:34] will lead to the obstruction of state institutions
[00:22:37] in America as
[00:22:41] of this competition or Democratic
[00:22:44] control. Yes. Thank you very much for all these clarifications,
[00:22:48] Syria TV correspondent from Washington, Shaaban Abboud.
[00:23:00] In another file, the Arab parties represented in the Knesset
[00:23:04] held a meeting to coordinate their positions before
[00:23:07] the consultations to form the Israeli government. The meeting
[00:23:10] included leaders of the Joint List and the United Arab
[00:23:14] List with the aim of overthrowing Netanyahu's government and replacing
[00:23:17] it with a government of change. The meeting comes before
[00:23:21] Israeli President Isaac Herzog begins his consultations
[00:23:24] to determine who will be tasked with forming the government,
[00:23:28] amidst the tendency of opposition parties to recommend
[00:23:32] tasking the leader of the party that won the elections.
[00:23:35] The Arab parties won 19 seats, compared to
[00:23:38] 53 for Netanyahu's camp and
[00:23:41] 48 for the Jewish opposition, with no
[00:23:46] majority to form a government.
[00:23:50] Former Israeli Prime Minister
[00:23:55] Ehud Barak said that Netanyahu wants to attack
[00:23:59] Iran to stay in power. Barak indicated that
[00:24:02] Netanyahu seeks to prevent discussion of his controversial
[00:24:06] record through escalation against Iran,
[00:24:09] stressing that attacking Iran may impose pressure to form
[00:24:13] a unity government with Netanyahu's
[00:24:15] participation. Barak confirmed
[00:24:19] that there was no intelligence information that warranted
[00:24:22] immediate action against
[00:24:25] Iran.
[00:24:30] The newsletter concludes with hopes.
