00:03:22for love, for love, for the precious.
00:04:06And a determination that does
00:05:40forecast and the current situation today.
00:05:46The influence of the hot air mass
00:05:49on the Kingdom recedes, as temperatures drop slightly. The weather
00:05:53is normal summer in most areas and hot in the Badia,
00:05:56Ghor, Dead Sea, and Aqaba. Winds are northwesterly
00:05:59moderate, sometimes active. The temperature in Amman today
00:06:03reaches 32 degrees Celsius, with moderate northwesterly
00:06:07winds. The weather is sunny and from the noble capital
00:06:10Amman to the Gulf of Aqaba, the weather is hot and the winds
00:06:14are moderate northerly, sometimes active,
00:06:17and the sea is calm, with slight waves.
00:06:20So, the weather is hot in Aqaba
00:06:24but, you know, with the water, swimming, and your presence
00:06:27in the marine tourist
00:06:30areas, the atmosphere is different. So, every region has
00:06:33its special character in our beloved Jordan, and the beauty of things in this is very important.
00:06:37We will go to our governorates. We will start with Irbid, with a maximum temperature of 34

00:07:57Celsius, and also hot weather. So, whoever likes
00:08:02the north. All our beautiful governorates have, as you mentioned, a special
00:08:05characteristic. May God protect all our governorates
00:09:55Haider Mahmoud, and I always say, "We woke the sun from its slumber through work, achievement,
00:09:59and love of the homeland." And this is what distinguishes Jordanians, to be honest.
00:10:02Even yesterday, I was scrolling through reels and seeing
00:10:05what videos were trending, and one person said,
00:10:09"I came to Jordan to see Jordan because I got to know Jordan abroad
00:10:13and I saw how loyal they are to their country, how much they love their country, and the work
00:10:17they do they accomplish their tasks,
00:10:20they excel in their tasks, and they love the country they are in." So, how important
00:10:25is this impression of the Nashama? And I always say, I am very pleased
00:10:29with the word Nashama when any Jordanian
00:10:32person is described. It is a very beautiful thing, and we always pride ourselves on the fact that every Jordanian in every
00:10:36place he is in is an ambassador for his country, of course, with his good morals
00:10:39and the positive image of our beloved country. But even if you look, for example, from
00:10:42the days of the World Cup when we went to the World Cup, the whole world started
00:10:46seeing the ethics of Jordanians and the behavior of Jordanians, so it gives a real
00:10:50impression of the essence of this authentic,
00:10:53impression was present.
00:10:59Okay, let's go. We will go to a collection of
00:11:04very important events. It is essential, since we are talking about summer
00:11:08now, and very important festivals. The Jordan Summer Festival is available in various

00:13:27starting at 6:00 PM. I wish you
00:13:31to spend beautiful times throughout
00:13:34our beloved Kingdom. It's a very beautiful thing that almost all governorates of the Kingdom
00:13:38have these very special activities, and they are family activities, meaning
00:13:41you can go at your leisure. 6:00 PM means the sun has set, it's pleasant, you've started
00:13:45with us and started Well, in the context of raising
00:13:49community awareness, the Royal Tank Museum, in cooperation with
00:13:53the Public Security Directorate, represented by the Anti-Narcotics Department,
00:13:57organizes a free family day as part of the International
00:14:00Day against Drug Abuse 2026. Of course, Eid,
00:14:03this day includes various awareness activities
00:14:06presented by the Anti-Narcotics Department's Nashama, in addition to
00:14:10a mobile exhibition that highlights the dangers of drugs,
00:14:14interactive activities dedicated to children,
00:14:17in addition to symbolic prizes for attendees. The
00:14:21activities will be held tomorrow, Friday, August 7th, where the mobile
00:14:25exhibition will receive visitors from 2:00 PM until 6:00 PM.
00:14:28As for admission to the Royal Tank Museum,
00:14:32it will be free all day, in an open
00:14:35invitation, of course, for families to participate in the activities
00:14:39and spread awareness about the dangers of drugs
00:14:42and promote a culture of prevention among community
00:14:45members. We thank the security agencies, honestly, for their very
00:14:49intensive efforts during this period. They are, of course, working all year round, but
00:14:52awareness of the danger of drugs is essential. And also spreading
00:14:56the culture among people that they must report to 911. It is a number available
00:14:59always for reporting any phenomenon or any person we see as
00:15:03an addict or a dealer or who increases this scourge. We even
00:15:07see Eid's presence in universities and schools with their mobile
00:15:10bus containing some
00:15:13types of drugs to raise awareness among students
00:15:16and youth about this very dangerous scourge.
00:15:19They have awareness and knowledge of its forms because
00:15:23sometimes people
00:15:25might put it to you and you don't
00:15:29very important effort, for sure. And the Land Transport Regulatory
00:15:33Commission will continue, starting next Sunday, the trial operation
00:15:36of the second phase of the inter-governorate public transport project.
00:15:40And of course, it will launch two lines, Jarash-Irbid
00:15:43and Irbid-Zarqa. Indeed, and the authority also
00:15:47confirmed that the buses are equipped with electronic payment and tracking systems
00:15:51and provide the highest safety standards as part of a plan
00:15:54that aims to complete the operation of the regular transport
00:15:57network between governorates by the end of October.
00:16:00All efforts are currently focused on serving
00:16:04the citizen, of course, and also facilitating traffic. We are also talking about
00:16:07the traffic jams that we are experiencing. We arrived early, thank God, we were saved.
00:16:11There is a lot of traffic, but we also don't forget
00:16:15that public transport has also changed, and this
00:16:18makes it easier for people and especially students who travel
00:16:22to universities, for example, the express bus has solved many problems that
00:16:25existed for students due to its timings, due to the Wi-Fi
00:16:29service it provides, and also
00:16:32in a different way, you try public
00:16:35transport, so this is very important. And also
00:16:38a very important point. We move to the Traffic
00:16:41Department to learn more about the road conditions
00:16:45in detail, specifically during these
00:16:48times, with Captain Ahmed
00:16:51Al-Daroubi, Mohammed Al-Daroubi. Let's go to Captain
00:16:55Mohammed Al-Daroubi. Good morning, sir, and thank you very much.
00:16:58Good
00:17:02morning to you and good morning to all your colleagues inside
00:17:05Jordanian Television.
00:17:11the traffic situation this morning, if you
00:17:13please.
00:17:18Well, today we are talking about Thursday and the end
00:17:21of the week, and we hope that this is a successful and happy weekend
00:17:25for everyone. The characteristics of Thursday
00:17:28are that traffic activity is high from the morning hours
00:17:31until late evening.
00:17:35Traffic activity has two parts: traffic activity
00:17:38and its intensity within the capital and at the entrances to the capital,
00:17:42and also outside the capital towards
00:17:45the governorates. The peak traffic is now moderate,
00:17:48but we expect it to increase and become active
00:17:52in traffic. We dealt with the movement of our citizens
00:17:55going to their workplaces from the early morning hours.
00:17:59Traffic was smooth and easy without any obstacles.
00:18:03We always work to ensure that there are no obstacles to traffic
00:18:06flow. The deployment of traffic
00:18:10roundabouts, and entrances to the capital to organize traffic
00:18:13is in addition to our citizens' commitment
00:18:17to the instructions of traffic police who are there to serve them and ensure their safety.
00:18:21Their commitment to all traffic
00:18:24rules and priorities is also important for their safe arrival.
00:18:28We care about their safety and security from the moment they start
00:18:31until they arrive. Our citizens should not
00:18:35commit any violations. We are also witnessing
00:18:38these days university graduations,
00:18:41and we wish all Jordanians joy in their homes for these
00:18:45occasions. So we want to remind our brothers not to commit
00:18:49traffic or sticking out of car windows.
00:18:52We always want the joy to be complete
00:18:55without anything spoiling it. So our brothers' commitment
00:18:59and adherence to avoiding this violation, its danger,
00:19:02and its obstruction of traffic. We wish everyone safety.
00:19:05We will now review
00:19:09the main traffic movements through the screen system in the operations room. If
00:19:12we look to our right now at Al-Sha'ab
00:19:15Tunnel, King Abdullah II Street, we notice the smooth
00:19:18flow of traffic coming from the Sweileh
00:19:22side. We notice the smooth flow at the exit of Al-Sha'ab Tunnel, near the Eighth Circle,
00:19:26the distance between vehicles. We emphasize to our
00:19:29drivers that leaving sufficient safe distance
00:19:33and driving in the designated lane helps avoid
00:19:36traffic accidents and plays a positive role in maintaining
00:19:40smooth traffic flow. To our right, on the screens,
00:19:44we now notice what is related to the Interior Tunnel. We notice
00:19:47that there is density and activity on Al-Istiqlal Street for traffic coming from
00:19:51the side of the Royal Palaces towards the Interior Tunnel. The traffic
00:19:55police officer is at the exit of the Interior Tunnel to separate lanes and activate
00:19:58traffic flow for
00:20:01traffic heading towards the Intelligence Circle, towards the Fourth
00:20:04Circle. To our left, we notice the vicinity of the Fourth Circle, the smooth
00:20:08flow of traffic, also Zahran Street
00:20:10in both directions. We are talking about the beginning of the day. We dealt with
00:20:14this traffic. The morning traffic is the movement of our citizens going to their
00:20:18workplaces. But now, the specialization will witness a return and activity and density
00:20:21in traffic, with citizens going to markets, government
00:20:25departments, banks, wherever they go. But we have a traffic
00:20:30traffic. Also, if we look now at Sariah
00:20:33Al-Shaheed Street, there is still density and activity in traffic
00:20:36from inside the workshops tunnel towards the
00:20:40Al-Shifa bridge towards the Sports City. But traffic
00:20:43police are along the entire road working to separate lanes and activate
00:20:47traffic flow. We also use all systems in the operations
00:20:50room, which are always used to guide traffic police
00:20:54in the field to provide
00:20:56the best and finest types of service to our road users.
00:21:02traffic safety and also always monitoring
00:21:05traffic within the specialization. We observe the Google Maps system, and you
00:21:09are following within the specialization to monitor any situation or any place that experiences congestion
00:21:13or traffic jams to guide traffic police. The police
00:21:16performance cameras that are with traffic police
00:21:20are also used to monitor even the secondary intersections within the specialization on my cameras
00:21:23that are currently with the traffic police at the entrance to Jordan Hospital
00:21:27on Queen Noor Street. We notice the activity now from the exit of the Fourth Tunnel
00:21:30towards the Intelligence Bridge. All the systems available in the
00:21:34operations room, and the directives from the Public Security Directorate, have been directed to the Traffic
00:21:38Department's operations room to maintain the safety of our citizens and monitor
00:21:41traffic. We wish everyone a successful and happy weekend, and
00:21:45safety accompanies everyone. Thank
00:21:48you very much, Captain Mahmoud.
00:21:50Thank you very much for this clarification, and thank God, we always hope that our country
00:21:54will be safe and sound, and that traffic will be flowing. Indeed, we want
00:21:57to thank all, I mean, the Traffic Department, and specifically Mohammed Al-Daroubi,
00:22:01who was with us today to inform us about
00:24:17about many topics, including nutrition and whether everything
00:24:21marketed as healthy is actually healthy. We will have with us the clinical
00:24:25nutritionist Dr. Khulood Jouinat
00:24:28to reveal the most common foods that people believe are beneficial,
00:24:32while in reality they are different, especially when they say
00:24:35diet and light, sugar-free, no added sugar. These may be promotional phrases, but
00:24:39والله هي قد تكون عبارات ترويجيه ولكن
00:24:42this topic, from the health of the body
00:24:46Dr. Atef Al-Qasim, who is the head of the Psychological Sciences Association,
00:24:50and Dr. Areeb Abu Umaira, the vice president of the association. We will talk about
00:24:53the "Under Pressure, Talk to Us" initiative and the importance of promoting mental health
00:24:57among university students after the pressures of studying,
00:25:00exams, and very important grades, and encouraging them to seek
00:25:04support away from social stigma. True, this
00:25:07is very important. And from mental health
00:25:10to legal awareness with lawyer
00:25:13Ziad Al-Sabbakh and talking about phone
00:25:17usage and limits of photography and when a photo or video
00:25:20becomes a legal issue. This is a very important topic,
00:25:24Eid, specifically regarding social media
00:25:27and openness. Sometimes we have a lack of knowledge about our rights
00:25:31and duties towards the law, so it is very important to raise awareness about it. After that, we will
00:25:34open the door of curiosity and discovery for children with Mrs. Roula
00:25:38Ahmed, Operations Supervisor for Education at the Children's Museum Jordan. We will
00:25:42talk about the Jordan Science and Arts Festival in its tenth
00:25:45edition and what it offers in terms of experiments and distinctive interactive
00:25:48workshops for children. And also, from developing children's
00:25:51curiosity to shaping the future of media, we host
00:25:55His Excellency Dr. Ziad Al-Rifai, Dean of the Jordan Media
00:25:58Institute, and Mr. Younis Kafarain who is the Director of the Admissions
00:26:02and Registration Unit to talk about the institute's programs, study
00:26:06opportunities, and the future of young journalists. This institute is very
00:26:10important. I and Eid, perhaps our testimony
00:26:13institute, and this is perhaps what makes today's episode special, that we are graduates of the institute, and we will also
00:26:17interview at this institute. We will conclude our journey with an inspiring story about
00:26:20Jordan. We host the Italian writer Enrico
00:26:23Aragona, who came to the Kingdom as a diplomat and chose to stay
00:26:27and love it, and talked about it in his book "Listening to Silence,"
00:26:30which documents Jordan through the eyes of someone who loved Jordan, not through the eyes of just a tourist
00:26:36is very important. And how many people today
00:26:39came to Jordan for a certain mission and stayed because they loved it
00:26:43and loved its people.
00:26:49This is a very special thing about our country, even in the hospitality and dealing with people and the love
00:26:53of hosting others. We will start our morning journey with you, dear viewers, with our health
00:26:56information, and our topic today will be about viruses. Let's watch
00:27:00together.
00:27:10I am the virus that enters the body with air.
00:27:13I search for a cell to inhabit. Yes,
00:27:15virus, you cannot live alone without
00:27:19the cell.
00:27:22I am the cell. The virus may use me to make new
00:27:26copies of itself. That's right, cell. That's why
00:27:29the white blood cell intervenes.
00:27:33I am the white blood cell. I attack viruses
00:27:36and destroy them. Yes, white blood cell, the immune
00:27:40system is the army that protects the body.
00:27:53Well done, son. When the virus enters
00:27:56the body, your immune system guides
00:28:00your body. Listen.
00:28:06This is a very important topic, and we need to differentiate between viruses
00:28:10and bacteria, even the type of inflammation, even the type of medication
00:28:14we take. It's not like if we cough and have a fever, we should
00:28:17go and take an antibiotic. So we need to be careful and learn more from
00:28:21a specialist doctor who can
00:28:55I am the soul that was born more than two million
00:28:58years ago. I am the one whose first
00:29:02steps were on the sacred
00:29:04land.
00:29:06I am the eye that saw a gazelle passing between
00:29:09rocks.
00:29:14gypsum to compose the melody of
00:29:16eternity.
00:29:20I am the Nabataean secret in the heart of
00:29:22rocks.
00:29:24And the echo of the city of a thousand columns.
00:29:28I am the blessed land that the prophets walked on.
00:29:32The saints and the river in which Christ
00:29:36was baptized.
00:29:39I am a light that carried the message of Islam
00:29:41and peace. So cities
00:29:44and minarets were built.
00:29:51I am the first bullet. And the cry of an Arab
00:29:54revolution that called for renaissance
00:29:56and freedom. I am the steadfastness
00:30:00of Karameh, when it refused to break.
00:30:04And a bridge between the past and the future.
00:30:08not fade in the face of hardships. I am
00:30:11a story more than two million years old,
00:30:15and I am still writing it. I am
00:30:19Jordan, the land
00:30:22and the people.
00:30:38"From the Last" podcast, what we say as it is.
00:30:41Stories, questions, surprises, a dose of honesty
00:30:45from the last. In every episode, we present
