00:02:14I will start with Youssef Al-Mashakbeh, as Mafraq Governorate has taken a package of
00:02:18reform, organizational, and oversight measures
00:02:21to ensure the provision of better services to citizens in vital
00:02:24and important sectors. These measures focused on the speed of response

00:02:50efforts are being made in Petra in are with you.
00:02:55Ziad, about Yes, Hussein,
00:02:59among the procedures. And the new packages taken
00:03:03by His Excellency the Governor of Mafraq,
00:03:06Dr. Firas Abu Qaoud, through field follow-up
00:03:09the street and taking over and continuous tours of various
00:03:13areas of Mafraq Governorate
00:03:15and related departments
00:03:19regarding the services
00:03:21of the Jordanian narrative in provided to citizens, there are a set of measures and also a set of previous
00:03:25follow-ups for problems,
00:03:28figure in two months from this demands, and needs of citizens.
00:03:32used to cause continuous landslides Months ago, there were demands in the water sector,
00:03:35in the roads sector, and also in organizing
00:03:38markets within Mafraq city to facilitate
00:03:42traffic and also reduce
00:03:45traffic jams. For more details, we are pleased to have
00:03:48this season extends to His Excellency Dr. Firas Abu Qaoud, Governor of Mafraq, with us. Your Excellency, may God give
00:03:52you good health. Good morning
00:03:54to set up a stall, set it up in an area that to you and all listeners and viewers. Your Excellency,
00:03:57a while ago, we had, mashallah, promises. Measures,
00:04:01packages, especially in
00:04:04to God, there were two cars on the right and two cars on the left. Is it possible the water sector. How far have you come in solving the water problem at the level of Mafraq Governorate?
00:04:07I mean, there is no doubt that the water issue in
00:04:11Mafraq Governorate in particular has
00:04:14a different dimension than the rest of the governorates
00:04:17of the Kingdom. In fact, from the first day I started working,
00:04:21Arab countries who I was surprised by this problem. Immediately, a committee
00:04:25was formed by
00:04:29His Excellency the Minister of Water
00:04:31and Irrigation. The Secretary-General of the Ministry
00:04:34has begun implementing a package of of Water and the Director
00:04:37youth, and specifically, General of Yarmouk Company came here, and we reached
00:04:40logical,
00:04:43the efficiency of rainwater drainage in administrative, and logistical solutions to reach
00:04:45comprehensive solutions for the largest possible
00:04:48number of local communities. Now, the reactions
00:04:52after a month and a half of conducting the new experiments,
00:04:56I expect that now there is, I wouldn't say
00:04:59100% satisfaction, but I would almost say that there is 70% to
00:05:03This term will 75% complete satisfaction two weeks ago and has almost with the services provided regarding
00:05:06water, and there is a plan. Two
00:05:10days ago, I had the Director General of the Yarmouk Water Company, and he is
00:05:13French, and with him is his assistant, and there is
00:05:18man to reach logical solutions. Unfortunately,
00:05:24the water coming to Mafraq Governorate, we were surprised that
00:05:27a very large percentage, exceeding 65%, is
00:05:32this loss, for me, as a governor, has 100 question
00:05:36marks. Where does the loss go? Therefore, there are committees formed
00:05:40now for this purpose. We will not be lenient
00:05:43as an administrative authority in applying the law
00:05:46and administration regarding anyone who might
00:05:50tamper with the water network, because I cannot be lenient with someone
00:05:53who has tampered with this network and let
00:05:57thousands of people in the area
00:05:59suffer from thirst. Therefore, I reassure people,
00:06:03whether in Mafraq Al-Qasabah or
00:06:05in the Badia area, that there will be radical
00:06:08solutions within a month, God willing, for a comprehensive solution. Yes.
00:06:12Your Excellency, another problem, the problem of Baghdad
00:06:16International Road. There are some demands and needs, and an increase
00:06:21road. What are the current measures
00:06:24the relevant authorities to rectify this road
00:06:27and to reduce accidents on this road? Unfortunately,
00:06:30Baghdad International Road
00:06:33needs a very large budget. The budget of
00:06:37Mafraq Governorate is almost
00:06:409 million. We have almost 45 sectors
00:06:44in this governorate. This detailed budget will be
00:06:47distributed among these sectors.
00:06:50However, I expect that the matter is now central
00:06:54and returns to the Ministry of Public Works and Housing. We, two
00:06:57weeks ago, wrote a letter to His Excellency the Minister of Public Works,
00:07:01and he is cooperative in this regard.
00:07:04However, I am sure that this road needs
00:07:07the help of Jordan in general
00:07:10and the Ministry of Public Works
00:07:12in particular, because we have recently witnessed repeated
00:07:16accidents and accidents that led
00:07:19to the death of more than 10 to 15 people in less than
00:07:23three months on this road.
00:07:26Therefore, I expect that it is time to
00:07:29take serious action to allocate funds for this
00:07:33road through the Ministry of Public Works. Your Excellency, a very important
00:07:36question. Recently, there have been continuous oversight
00:07:40campaigns for food
00:07:43safety, market organization, and curbing
00:07:47the random spread of stalls and street
00:07:49vendors. What are the latest measures you have taken?
00:07:52A few
00:07:55the field by your Excellency, the Public Safety Committee in the governorate.
00:07:59Well, the markets now, if we speak frankly,
00:08:02there is a big problem
00:08:04in the Mafraq market, indeed, and the Badu
00:08:08market. We are not here to cut off people's livelihoods, and I
00:08:12met with the largest possible number of shop owners, and we told
00:08:15them, when you are renting a
00:08:18warehouse, you are not taking over
00:08:22the sidewalk. This street is for cars, and the sidewalk
00:08:25is for pedestrians. People cannot walk now, and those who are coming are
00:08:29our daughters, not people who are imported from
00:08:33outside the country or from outside Mafraq Governorate.
00:08:36So we took strict measures. We initially
00:08:40warn any violator for the first time that there is a violation,
00:08:44and we warn them again that there is a violation. However,
00:08:47with our procedures after the first and second pledge, there are
00:08:51strict measures to curb this matter. Unfortunately,
00:08:55you are surprised that those who occupy
00:08:58the markets are sometimes from outside Mafraq Governorate.
00:09:01And I told them, and my words are clear, if you want
00:09:07does not affect pedestrian
00:09:09traffic and does not affect the markets. I mean,
00:09:13yesterday I visited the market, and I swear
00:09:16if we continue to build on the idea that we don't want to cut off
00:09:20people's livelihoods? We are not here to cut off people's livelihoods, but you are also
00:09:24obstructing all traffic
00:09:27because of your stall and your car
00:09:30and your neighbor's car blocking the street. No,
00:09:33there must be strict measures regarding
00:09:36this situation. And I hope now, my brother, His Excellency the Mayor
00:09:39of Mafraq Municipality,
00:09:43we will go out now and also
00:09:46we have thought of strategic solutions and comprehensive
00:09:49solutions that we will not allow anyone
00:09:52to set up a stall on the main street. We will now, God willing, take a plot of land
00:09:56belonging to the railway and funds will be allocated
00:09:59from the 27 budget to move
00:10:03all the things or random stalls there, because we
00:10:06are not thinking now that we are just removing the problem. No, we need to think now
00:10:10about radical solutions. that help citizens
00:10:14to, I mean, with the difficulties of life
00:10:18and the difficulties of living that these young people
00:10:21on the main streets might face, Your Excellency.
00:10:25So, the Governor's Council, the Governor's Committee,
00:10:29near 27, you have set development
00:10:32plans, services as a participatory budget between
00:10:35the Governor's Council and the Executive Council to implement
00:10:39priority services for Mafraq Governorate? I mean, we,
00:10:41God willing, with the cooperation of our colleagues in the Governor's
00:10:45Council, our budget now might be
00:10:48different from the budget of the Kingdom in general, that I
00:10:52think now I have 45 sectors. The main
00:10:56vital sectors now in any governorate are water,
00:10:59public works, health,
00:11:01and education. When you allocate 9 million
00:11:05and scatter it among 45 sectors, I expect there will be no significant
00:11:09impact. But if we think now of specialized budgets
00:11:12that will bear fruit, even if after a while, that I say that
00:11:16my budget now in 27 relates to water and relates
00:11:20to education, for example, and my budget in 28
00:11:23relates to public works, and relates to health. These are
00:11:26four sectors now, if I inject into them now 19-20 million
00:11:30dinars, there will be a real impact and there will
00:11:33be a developmental impact that the citizen will see
00:11:36with their own eyes. But if I divide this budget into
00:11:40fragments for 45
00:11:42departments, I expect there will be a defect. However, we are now moving
00:11:46towards a specialized budget for 27
00:11:50for four comprehensive sectors whose impact the citizen will feel in
00:11:54Mafraq Governorate. God willing. Your Excellency, a final question, please, less than
00:11:57a minute. The Jordanian narrative, on Sunday, Mafraq Governorate's celebration
00:12:01of the Jordanian narrative. The importance of Mafraq Governorate in this matter. Indeed,
00:12:04I can almost confirm that it is not because I am the governor of Mafraq
00:12:08now. I can almost confirm that the Jordanian narrative
00:12:12lies in Mafraq Governorate. Now, Mafraq Governorate
00:12:15needs now to, I mean,
00:12:21It needs a large number of people to do justice to
00:12:24this governorate. I mean, it is enough that
00:12:27the narrative of Mafraq in general is that it is the food basket of Jordan.
00:12:31Now, many people in local
00:12:33communities are unaware of Mafraq Governorate. I want to tell
00:12:37people and tell them that the Jordanian food
00:12:41in general is present in this governorate. I mean,
00:12:45I would even say that the viewer might be surprised by
00:12:48what I am going to say. I have never seen in my life a watermelon
00:12:52weighing more than 35 kilograms. Grapes
00:12:56now, a bunch of grapes weighs more than
00:13:0040 kilograms, and this exists. I mean, if I hadn't seen
00:13:03it with my own eyes, I would never have believed these stories.
00:13:06But the narrative of the Jordanian state has been present since
00:13:09ancient times in this governorate, and there must be
00:13:12people who do justice to this governorate
00:13:15by presenting the narrative of Mafraq Governorate. His Excellency
00:13:18Dr. Firas Abu Qaoud, may God give you good health, Governor of Mafraq, for these achievements
00:13:22and services. Thank you, thank you. Thank you. As
00:13:26His Excellency the Governor mentioned, these new measures
00:13:29and packages, all these services and projects are
00:13:33to achieve economic development, local development in
00:13:36Mafraq Governorate, and there are, God willing, other projects
00:13:40that will be witnessed, God willing, in light of the celebration of Mafraq Governorate
00:13:43next Sunday with the launch
00:13:46the Governorate. Great achievements in the nature of Mafraq Governorate,
00:13:50geographically, which is famous for agriculture and livestock breeding,
00:13:53and also economic development. Back to you,
00:13:57Hussein. Youssef Al-Mashakbeh, thank you and your esteemed guest for all these
00:14:00details. God willing, sustainable development continues in our beloved
00:14:04Mafraq Governorate. From Youssef Al-Mashakbeh to
00:14:07Muhammad Al-Kafawin, and to
00:14:10the price of gold. This segment, through which we will learn about
00:14:14gold prices locally, as it has recorded an increase, supported
00:14:17by a global increase and a decrease in oil prices. More
00:14:20details with Muhammad. Greetings to you, Muhammad
00:14:24Al-Kafawin. Amman, Muhammad, as you know,
00:14:27gold today is important
00:14:31for the Jordanian society, especially for those who are about to get married
00:14:34and want to save. Muhammad, in recent months, gold
00:14:38prices have witnessed significant fluctuations between decrease
00:14:42and increase, but since two days ago, there has been an increase of
00:14:454%. Where is gold heading? Muhammad Al-Kafawin from
00:14:49the capital Amman, to you.
00:14:50Please.
00:14:53Yes.
00:14:58Yes, hello to you all in this weekly economic window
00:15:01on gold prices. Gold is the most and fastest
00:15:05affected and responsive to all geopolitical challenges and events
00:15:08and economic fluctuations. Between its fall and rise,
00:15:12the features of the global, political,
00:15:15and economic scene are read. Before global tensions headline
00:15:18newspapers, news, urgent news, and news
00:15:21channels, perhaps the first to pick up the signal
00:15:25and convert these tensions into numbers is gold and global gold prices.
00:15:28We are talking about a global rise in gold
00:15:32prices, the highest in a month, meaning
00:15:35a corresponding fall in oil prices. This came
00:15:39as a result of US President Donald Trump
00:15:42canceling the strike he intended to launch towards Tehran,
00:15:45and this comes in light of
00:15:49global hopes and American hopes for achieving
00:15:52a political breakthrough and reaching a quick agreement
00:15:56and stopping all operations, and also
00:16:00regarding reopening the Strait of Hormuz, this global artery
00:16:03and global oil valve, through which a fifth
00:16:06of the global consumption of oil and liquefied
00:16:10natural gas passes daily. We are talking about the Strait of Hormuz through which 20
00:16:14million barrels of oil pass daily, and we are talking
00:16:18about a fifth of global production, and we are talking about negotiations
00:16:21currently taking place between Tehran and Oman
00:16:24that will lead to the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and discuss the most prominent
00:16:28challenges related to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. We are talking
00:16:31globally that global gold prices directly reflect on
00:16:36Jordan. We are talking in Jordan about more than a thousand shops for selling
00:16:40and trading jewelry and ornaments. Their
00:16:44recovery and demand witnessed in the local markets despite
00:16:48the rise in prices. This comes at the same time as
00:16:52the return of expatriates, at the same time as wedding seasons, which, as
00:16:55you know, July and August are wedding seasons for
00:16:59Jordanians, and also at the same time as graduation
00:17:01seasons. We are talking about gold prices yesterday
00:17:05and even today witnessing wide fluctuations. Yesterday,
00:17:08the first price was 83 dinars. The second price was
00:17:1285 dinars and 80 piasters. Today, we are talking about
00:17:1586 dinars and 90 piasters. So we are talking about a difference of
00:17:19four dinars within 24 hours
00:17:23for 21-karat gold, the most demanded by Jordanians. To know more
00:17:26details about the gold price for today, I welcome the head of the Jewelry
00:17:30and Ornament Traders Syndicate, Mr. Ribhi Allan. My greetings to you,
00:17:33and we are always honored to have you with us on Jordan
00:17:37TV. A dear and valued guest. First, what is happening in
00:17:40global gold prices and markets and their local repercussions,
00:17:43and this increase of four dinars in one
00:17:46day? First, good morning, my brother Muhammad, to
00:17:50all dear viewers. We expected this
00:17:53rise two weeks ago today. You
00:17:57know that the world hedged in oil
00:18:00and natural gas during the previous period due to
00:18:04tension and serious geopolitical
00:18:07news that threatened the flow
00:18:11of petroleum to all parts of the world. Today, we see, as
00:18:15you mentioned, a breakthrough.
00:18:17The investor who was selling quantities of gold returned
00:18:21to hedging in gold. Today, we saw
00:18:24an increase of almost 200 dollars per ounce
00:18:27during the past 48
00:18:30hours. And today,
00:18:33I mean, yesterday, it was reported from the US Federal
00:18:36Reserve that there might be a quarter
00:18:40basis point increase in the US interest rate on the US
00:18:43dollar before the end of this year.
00:18:45And, I mean, we see that there will be political
00:18:49and economic news that will be the main player
00:18:53during the coming period. And as you mentioned,
00:18:56in Jordan, when we say 21-karat gold, the most
00:18:59common, 87 dinars, it is considered
00:19:03the highest
00:19:06day. Yes. How do you describe the demand today in the local gold
00:19:09markets, both for buying and for selling?
00:19:13I mean, Jordan for decades
00:19:16has been experiencing a state between
00:19:19the end of school holidays and the beginning
00:19:22of schools, and today
00:19:26September 15th of every
00:19:29year. This is the time when
00:19:32the Jordanian market flourishes significantly.
00:19:35We know that it is the season
00:19:38of weddings, university graduations,
00:19:41and schools, in addition to, my brother Muhammad,
00:19:44the arrival of Jordanian expatriates
00:19:47and non-Jordanian expatriates. We always
00:19:50welcome our Arab brothers, Syrians,
00:19:53Iraqis, and Palestinians, and all our brothers from
00:19:59conduct their transactions and celebrations on Jordanian
00:20:02lands. This is
00:20:05a good season for demand for Jordanian
00:20:08jewelry, especially since today, even Jordan,
00:20:12I mean, today, Jordanian gold industry is a wonderful
00:20:15industry. You are not just demanding jewelry; you are demanding
00:20:18jewelry made in Jordan that competes
00:20:22with its quality
00:20:25with international and Arab industries. Yes, Professor Ribhi, you always
00:20:29describe, when you appear with us on Jordan TV, the yellow metal as
00:20:32a safe haven. Does it still maintain this name locally
00:20:35and globally? I mean,
00:20:37we say gold is adornment and a treasure.
00:20:41remain in every Jordanian home because
00:20:44gold, in fact, for Jordanians, is not just
00:20:48a commodity to adorn oneself with. It
00:20:51is something to adorn oneself with, to save, and to use when needed.
00:20:55We, I mean, if we
00:20:58look at our grandmothers, mothers, wives,
00:21:02and sisters, from ancient times, every Jordanian
00:21:05home has gold present. Every wedding
00:21:08occasion has gold present. Even gifts,
00:21:12I mean, today, we, as a syndicate, have directed jewelry and ornament shops
00:21:15spread throughout the Kingdom
00:21:19to work with weights
00:21:22the purchasing power of the Jordanian citizen. So,
00:21:25I mean, we are keeping pace with our citizen, who is our true
00:21:29capital. I mean, you know that the customer, for a gold
00:21:32shop, is the customer.
00:21:36the gold we work with. Professor Ribhi, a crucial question: Do you advise
00:21:40us today to sell or buy? I always advise Jordanians
00:21:44to buy gold regardless of prices. Before
00:21:47you sell a ring, it counts
00:21:50for a thousand, but before you spend 100 dinars or
00:21:54500 or a thousand dinars, it doesn't count for anything. So gold is
00:21:58a savings commodity of the highest caliber. Its advantage,
00:22:01my brother Muhammad, is that you buy it in minutes,
00:22:05and when needed, you sell it in minutes with the same
00:22:08power with which you buy gold. Yes, I want to thank you very much. You were
00:22:12with us, the head of the Jewelry and Ornament Traders Syndicate, Ribhi Allan. You honored
00:22:15us and thank you for all these economic details about gold prices for
00:22:19today. You honored us on Jordan TV. Yes, Hussein,
00:22:22we are talking about gold still maintaining its position locally
00:22:25and globally as a safe haven in times of instability and geopolitical
00:22:29uncertainty. We are talking about the Strait of Hormuz,
00:22:32which is currently classified as a dangerous area, meaning that
00:22:35any ship passing through it incurs double fees, which means
00:22:39that gold prices are expected
00:22:42further, especially with the decrease in oil prices. This is the picture
00:22:45here in this economic window from the gold markets in Amman.
00:22:49I hand over the microphone to you and to my colleagues in the program Now. Yes, Muhammad Al-Kafawin from
00:22:52the capital Amman, thank you for all this important information
00:22:56regarding the gold metal. Dear viewers,
00:23:00we move directly to Petra and to our colleague Ziad Al-Twaissi from

00:23:18resulting from the difficult mountainous geography of the area. The directorate's
00:23:22staff also began to address hot

00:26:13dangerous and led to falling during the coming
00:26:16seasons, or rather, during the past rainy
00:26:19seasons. In the coming season, how will the situation be, especially
00:26:23after this protection that you have installed and after removing
00:26:27some dangerous rocks? Sir,
00:26:30we first removed the loose stones using
00:26:33a chain excavator, and then we implemented
