[00:00:05] to verify adherence to official pricing
[00:00:08] and monitor quality and safety standards
[00:00:11] and the validity of used materials. He
[00:00:15] stated that the measures against violators range

[00:00:41] in all the corporation's offices

[00:01:00] during the past period to expand the scope of opening and spreading
[00:01:03] its offices in various governorates
[00:01:06] The situation is calm so far. and regions, adding that it provides a service to deliver pensions directly to

[00:01:21] or destruction, as happened in
[00:01:27] Owners of tourist and supply bakeries in particular
[00:01:30] are demanding a review of
[00:01:33] by a general strike in the recent decisions regarding licensing conditions, warning that
[00:01:35] the new measures may threaten
[00:01:38] sector and a strike in the closure of a number of bakeries and affect the availability of bread
[00:01:41] and employment opportunities for
[00:01:43] workers.
[00:01:46] Haj Mohammad monitors every detail himself,
[00:01:50] fearing for his livelihood after 70 years of stability
[00:01:53] in his bakery in Damascus, under what
[00:01:56] he describes as pressures
[00:01:58] labor unions in this threatening his source of income. We are private supply bakeries,
[00:02:02] we here feel that we are being fought for our livelihood.
[00:02:06] You get one violation, then a second, then a third. Instead of raising
[00:02:09] the ceiling of the violation, they come
[00:02:13] and threaten to close you down. Closing down means
[00:02:16] 20 families with their children, their kids, their families, their fathers,
[00:02:19] their mothers. All these people are left without food, even
[00:02:22] though this is not just my responsibility.
[00:02:25] Youssef Al-Azma was martyred This worker is the responsibility of the state before it is my responsibility. A few days
[00:02:28] ago, I received a violation, and in three days, I paid 12 million
[00:02:32] Syrian pounds just to avoid closure. My
[00:02:35] license is 70 years old, meaning
[00:02:38] I wasn't licensed yesterday. If I had serious
[00:02:42] Saturday to continue pressure violations from 70 years ago until now, they would have closed me down 50 years
[00:02:45] ago. The threat does not stop at Abu Mohammad's bakery, as this
[00:02:51] in France. There is also a financial deficit tourist bakery also faces the risk defense ministers who of closure, but for other reasons, which are
[00:02:55] new regulatory conditions that threaten its old
[00:02:58] license and are impossible to apply on the ground, according
[00:03:02] squares after him. He represents to its owner. Today, a decision was issued by the Ministry of Supply and Economy
[00:03:05] that the tourist bakeries must correct their descriptions with their licenses
[00:03:09] in 3000 square meters, and this is unfair to us. Today,
[00:03:12] we have been here for 40-45 years and we have families
[00:03:16] working for us, about 10 workers
[00:03:18] in subways and trains and their families, and we are five or six young men and their families. This is not
[00:03:21] fair, and the required area today to meet these
[00:03:24] specifications is very, very, very high for us, and it does not apply
[00:03:27] in Damascus or even its countryside.
[00:03:30] between one point and another. The Craft Association for Bread Manufacturing also confirms
[00:03:32] the urgent necessity to reverse
[00:03:35] thousand people across the country these decisions to avoid risks that threaten hundreds of bakeries in Damascus
[00:03:39] and its countryside. So we ask the government to reconsider
[00:03:43] these decisions because these decisions
[00:03:46] are unfair to the bakery owner and the people in
[00:03:49] general. Today, the bakeries serve a wide
[00:03:53] segment of society. Despite what bakery owners describe
[00:03:56] as pressures, these production lines remain steadfast
[00:04:00] until this moment, amid serious concerns of
[00:04:03] their imminent cessation if solutions are not found.
[00:04:09] complete. On The official authorities see this renewal as regulating the bread manufacturing sector, but
[00:04:12] it negatively affects hundreds of bakeries
[00:04:15] with some conditions and regulations that consider
[00:04:18] this renewal a constriction that may harm
[00:04:23] In every corner of the consumer, the bakery owner, and the families of the workers
[00:04:25] equally. Hazem Awad, Syria

[00:04:30] The walnut market in Arbin, Damascus countryside, maintains
[00:04:33] its commercial and traditional status, attracting
[00:04:36] residents and traders from several Syrian governorates, especially
[00:04:40] with the approaching season for preparing Makdous, during
[00:04:43] which buying and selling activity
[00:04:48] and defense, and the implications in the market flourishes. Here in Arbin, in the Damascus
[00:04:51] countryside, the day begins
[00:04:54] like? Yes, Mohammad, I am currently to the rhythm of a market with a story that extends back decades. Stalls
[00:04:58] open and various varieties
[00:05:00] of walnuts and buying activity regain
[00:05:04] their momentum with the
[00:05:06] of thousands of early morning hours. The activity is not limited
[00:05:10] here in Paris, was called to the residents of the area, as traders from different
[00:05:16] regions come to the market to sell in their governorates'
[00:05:19] markets. No one knows how old the market is, 100, 200 years,
[00:05:23] more or less, no one knows. Our market starts at 5:30
[00:05:26] AM. People pray Fajr and then go down to the market, and then
[00:05:29] they come to the rest of the governorates. All the people come here, and we have farmers who all
[00:05:35] the market. We have Chinese, local, and Chilean. Everyone
[00:05:38] finds what they are looking for.
[00:05:43] Walnuts in Arbin market enjoy the trust of the residents
[00:05:47] who come from different areas, especially
[00:05:51] with the arrival of the Makdous season.
[00:05:53] Customers move from one merchant to another in search
[00:05:57] of the quality that suits them and the price that fits
[00:06:00] their budgets.
[00:06:03] We come to the walnut market during the Makdous season. Now, it's the Makdous season,
[00:06:06] so we take local Makdous walnuts from here. The local ones
[00:06:09] taste better and are better than the Chinese and American ones.
[00:06:12] We're used to this old market, which is more than
[00:06:15] 150 years old. We've been buying walnuts from our father's place, and our children,
[00:06:19] God willing, will buy from here too. The walnut
[00:06:22] journey begins with the harvest, then moves to
[00:06:25] homes where skilled hands prepare
[00:06:28] it using traditional methods. It's a journey
[00:06:32] that summarizes the story of a crop associated with
[00:06:35] the local cuisine, preserved by traditions
[00:06:38] of preparation from generation
[00:06:41] to generation. For generations, the walnut market in
[00:06:44] Arbin has maintained its presence and status, remaining
[00:06:47] a witness to the city's history and a deeply rooted detail
[00:06:51] in its popular memory. Dial Bahri,

[00:08:06] medium-voltage towers and about 360
[00:08:09] low-voltage poles in the areas
[00:08:12] consumed by the fires in Jabal al-Turkman, paving the way
[00:08:16] for the gradual restoration of electricity to a
[00:08:19] number of affected villages and
[00:08:21] towns. The number of damaged
[00:08:24] low-voltage poles reached 363 poles,
[00:08:28] and the number of medium-voltage towers was 143 towers, which are
[00:08:31] large numbers reflecting the magnitude of the disaster
[00:08:35] left by these fires. This work began after the tender was awarded
[00:08:39] to the Building and Construction Company, which is an executing company
[00:08:42] only, while the supervision and technical follow-up are carried out by our

[00:14:03] for schools and public services. Trade unions called
[00:14:06] for a strike, and
[00:14:10] a thousand high schools closed their doors in an ongoing
[00:14:13] movement for weeks until demands are met. For his part,

[00:14:57] confirms the targeting of the traffic police building in the city
[00:15:01] of Maarat al-Nu'man with an RPG without any
[00:15:04] casualties. Returning to France,
[00:15:08] Elaph Qaddah, Syria TV correspondent from Paris, joins us. Welcome
[00:15:12] Elaph. With the ongoing protests in France, what
[00:15:15] is the scene
[00:15:19] near Place de la Nation, where the demonstration
[00:15:23] that started from Place de la République in the center
[00:15:26] of Paris has arrived. This demonstration,
[00:15:29] in which tens demonstrators participated
[00:15:35] for by labor and student unions and the Yellow
[00:15:38] Vests. Of course, the total number reached about 70,000
[00:15:42] across most of France. There were similar
[00:15:45] demonstrations in Lyon, Marseille, Lille, and Bordeaux.
[00:15:49] These demonstrations aimed, Mohammad, to put
[00:15:52] more pressure on the French government to implement
[00:15:55] a quick response to the legitimate demands,
[00:15:58] according to President Macron, regarding the rise
[00:16:02] in the cost of living and the significant inflation
[00:16:05] affecting the country, as well as the rise in fuel
[00:16:09] prices and the demand for wage increases for
[00:16:12] workers and employees, as well as what is related to
[00:16:16] high schools and the demands of high school students
[00:16:19] regarding improving the service
[00:16:22] in public schools. Of course, today,
[00:16:25] more than 260 demonstration points were recorded
[00:16:28] across most of France. As we mentioned, there were many
[00:16:32] demands during these demonstrations. Up to this moment, I have been monitoring the demonstration
[00:16:36] since its beginning, and I have not seen any riots or acts of violence between
[00:16:40] some demonstrators and police officers.
[00:16:43] However, the Ministry of Interior also spoke of the presence of between
[00:16:47] 400 and 600 members of far-left organizations who usually
[00:16:51] incite riots. However, up to this moment, according to my observations,
[00:16:55] I have not seen any acts of vandalism
[00:16:58] previous demonstrations during the past month. Of course,
[00:17:02] today, Mohammad, is Thursday, a working day, not a holiday
[00:17:06] in France. Therefore, the demonstrations were also accompanied
[00:17:11] many sectors, with a partial strike in the transport
[00:17:15] hospitals and in schools
[00:17:19] and universities. There were also some
[00:17:23] strikes by teachers. The Ministry of Education stated that
[00:17:26] 16% of teachers announced their strike, in addition
[00:17:29] to the participation of some government
[00:17:33] employees and, as we mentioned,
[00:17:36] general strike here in France. All these
[00:17:39] details come in an attempt to pressure the French government
[00:17:43] to implement the demands of the demonstrators.
[00:17:46] Of course, the French Prime Minister's Office announced the formation of a crisis cell
[00:17:49] to follow up on these demonstrations and also to find solutions
[00:17:53] for labor unions and also solutions for student
[00:17:57] unions in the coming period. However, the overall
[00:18:00] picture, Mohammad, is that there is still great popular anger in France
[00:18:04] due to the government's lack of significant response. We saw
[00:18:07] in these demonstrations a large participation of officials and representatives
[00:18:11] of French leftist parties. Therefore,
[00:18:15] there is also a call for subsequent demonstrations next
[00:18:19] on the government to implement these demands in light
[00:18:23] of the financial deficit affecting the country here
[00:18:28] in the budget and difficulty for the Prime Minister's Office to implement
[00:18:32] the demands of the French people. Therefore, these demonstrations
[00:18:35] will continue next Saturday and perhaps there will also be
[00:18:39] subsequent demonstrations in the coming weeks. So,
[00:18:42] there is now a disruption in public transport and facilities
[00:18:46] and the Eiffel Tower and so on, right?
[00:18:49] Yes, exactly. There is some disruption or partial
[00:18:53] strike in some public transport
[00:18:55] and also in buses, but not all public transport
[00:18:59] has been halted. There are some public transport
[00:19:02] that have been agreed upon to facilitate the movement of demonstrators
[00:19:07] There is also a partial strike, as we mentioned, in hospitals
[00:19:11] with emergency services remaining open, and a perhaps
[00:19:15] larger strike in schools and universities. There
[00:19:18] is talk that more than 90% of French universities
[00:19:22] are closed today, either administratively or by
[00:19:25] students. Also, there is a closure of some
[00:19:29] major tourist attractions in France, in line with
[00:19:32] this general strike in France, most notably, as you mentioned,
[00:19:35] the famous Eiffel Tower here
[00:19:39] in the center of Paris. Thank you, Elaph Qaddah, Syria
[00:19:42] TV correspondent from Paris.
