00:02:5030 days, focuses on is also served by procedures. This section of Sultan Turki bin Said Road project, Phase Two, Part Two, extending between the wilayats of Al Kamil and Al Wafi
00:02:54and Sur in the South Sharqiyah Governorate. The road
00:02:57will contribute to enhancing traffic
00:03:02incidents. At of the volume of vehicles flow and improving road safety. The opening of this section comes within the ongoing implementation
00:03:06works of the project, which
00:03:09is one of the vital strategic projects
00:03:13event outside the Sultanate, implemented by the ministry due
00:03:14in this sector. The importance of this to its importance in developing the road network in the South
00:03:18Sharqiyah Governorate and enhancing connectivity between the wilayats
00:03:25structure of education in are served by this and supporting economic, economic, tourist, and developmental movement in the governorate.
00:03:28The project includes the construction of a dual
00:03:31carriageway with modern technical specifications, consisting
00:03:35of three traffic lanes in each
00:03:38traffic flow in direction in some parts, in addition to the construction of a number of overpasses,
00:03:42underpasses,
00:03:43whatever comes, we will be at and wadi drainage culverts. It also keeps pace with the increasing
00:03:48time and space, in traffic
00:03:49does the overall percentage of and enhances the efficiency of the land transport
00:03:53sector's infrastructure.
00:03:56To talk more about the opening of the new section of this
00:03:58project, we are joined live from the wilayat
00:04:02of Sur by Engineer Munir bin Ahmed Al Alawi,
00:04:05Director of Roads Department in the South
00:04:08Sharqiyah Governorate. Welcome, Engineer Munir.
00:04:12Firstly, what is the immediate
00:04:16engineering and traffic addition that the inauguration
00:04:20ability to deal with of this new section represents in facilitating traffic movement
00:04:24between the wilayats of Al Kamil and Al Wafi
00:04:26and Sur?
00:04:40the new school year has
00:04:41begun, a year of is 5 kilometers and art. It is long, in the Qasir area, in the
00:04:45Al Fuleij area, reaching the Al Rufasah area.
00:04:48Of course, the path consists
00:04:51being drafted in of three lanes, which contributes to the ease of movement
00:04:54between regions, especially between
00:04:57very much for all this the wilayats of Al Kamil and Al Wafi and Sur, as well as
00:05:00the connecting roads to the wilayat of Jaalan Bani Bu Hassan and Jaalan Bani Bu
00:05:03Ali.
00:05:06to restore some Okay, if you could tell us about the components of the road and also the technical
00:05:10specifications designed for
00:05:12this road to be in line with international
00:05:16standards.
00:05:22Of course, my
00:05:24dear brother, the road consists of three
00:05:27lanes, and it also has a number of
00:05:31overpasses for elevated intersections, and
00:05:34there are bridges over wadis, and it
00:05:37also consists of two traffic lights in the city of Sur, as well as
00:05:41the urban area in the wilayat of Sur.
00:05:44Drainage channels in culverts, as well as
00:05:47box culverts of various sizes and in various locations.
00:05:51We also have culverts
00:05:54or tunnels for car crossings between
00:05:57areas to connect the areas adjacent
00:06:00to the route. Traffic safety requirements
00:06:04of all types have also been observed, whether concrete
00:06:07barriers or iron barriers,
00:06:09as well as
00:06:13signs and warning signs and reflective
00:06:17road markings. All of these things have been reviewed
00:06:20to ensure the highest
00:06:23specifications for traffic safety and road users.
00:06:27The road will also
00:06:31bring about a qualitative leap in economic and tourist activity in the governorate,
00:06:34as the road connects the governorates
00:06:37of Muscat and the Dakhiliyah Governorate,
00:06:40as well as connecting to the secondary road
00:06:43leading from the wilayat of Al Kamil Al Wafi to
00:06:47the Al Wusta region to Mahut. This all
00:06:50positively reflects on the traffic and tourist movement
00:06:53in the governorate.
00:06:56project
00:06:59comes within the framework of developing the road
00:07:02network in the Sultanate of Oman in all
00:07:05its governorates to facilitate traffic movement
00:07:08and also to keep pace with commercial
00:07:11and economic movement. But how
00:07:15serve the increasing traffic growth
00:07:19and economic and tourism development plans in the governorate,
00:07:22Engineer?
00:07:28Traffic movement is increasing, as
00:07:32we mentioned earlier.
00:07:35Duqm, the Al Wusta region,
00:07:40South Sharqiyah via this road. As
00:07:43the South Sharqiyah region is a primary transit
00:07:47region, those heading to the Dakhiliyah
00:07:50and Dhofar governorates also pass through this region. The industrial
00:07:53area in Bidiyah in the South
00:07:57Sharqiyah Governorate
00:07:59this road.
00:08:03The movement of cars or vehicles with large
00:08:06sizes, I mean, has changed and is increasing, as
00:08:09economic activity is increasing in terms
00:08:13that pass through this road with heavy
00:08:16loads. We have industrial areas, the company
00:08:19of Oman LNG, the Omani Indian Fertilizer Company,
00:08:22as well as Al Angal
00:08:25Energy Company. All of these companies with these
00:08:29sizes and these economic
00:08:32sizes
00:08:35road. The number of cars is
00:08:38increasing, as well as educational institutions. We have
00:08:42almost more than three government and private universities.
00:08:45So all of this positively
00:08:48reflects on facilitating
00:08:51the governorate. Okay, with
00:08:54the continuous accelerated
00:08:58implementation works, where
00:09:01completion of this project stand in all its phases
00:09:05and parts
00:09:10so far? The completion rate to date is approximately
00:09:1391%. It is expected, God willing,
00:09:17that the road will be opened from the wilayat of Al Kamil Al Wafi
00:09:20to the wilayat of Sur at Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque
00:09:24in November, God willing, by
00:09:28the end of November.
00:09:30The remaining section, the urban area inside Sur, is expected
00:09:34to be opened in the first quarter of next
00:09:37year, God willing. And with
00:09:40that, the road will, God willing, be
00:09:44in all its parts, with all its bridges, and all its service roads
00:09:47from the wilayat of Al Kamil Al Wafi to
00:09:51the wilayat of Sur, Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, will, God willing,
00:09:55be open and accessible to all cars by
00:09:58the end of November, God
00:10:13The National Center for Cardiac Medicine and Surgery at the Royal
00:10:16Hospital has achieved a medical breakthrough, the first
00:10:19of its kind in the Sultanate of Oman, by implanting
00:10:23the first Card. MEMS sensor to measure
00:10:27pulmonary artery pressure used to monitor heart muscle
00:10:30failure patients remotely. The sensor allows
00:10:34wireless pulmonary artery pressure measurement directly
00:10:38through interventional catheterization
00:10:41without the need for open surgery,
00:10:44which contributes to continuous monitoring of the patient's
00:10:48condition and supporting
00:10:51The device also provides an early
00:10:55monitoring system by sending daily
00:10:58readings related
00:11:01to hemodynamics and pulmonary artery
00:11:04pressure to the medical team, which enables
00:11:07monitoring changes in the patient's condition and early
00:11:11detection of health deterioration and fluid retention
00:11:14before the appearance of clinical
00:11:17symptoms.
00:11:23The Ministry of Health launched an advanced specialized
00:11:27training program in the field of responding to incidents
00:11:30involving chemical, biological, radiological,
00:11:33nuclear, and explosive materials, and medical
00:11:36decontamination, in cooperation with a number
00:11:39of national and international entities. The ceremony was sponsored by His
00:11:43Excellency Dr. Abdullah bin Hamoud Al Harthi, Undersecretary
00:11:46of the Ministry of Social
00:11:47Development for Persons with Disabilities.
00:11:58major accidents and hazardous materials

00:13:42the continuity of the health system at work, and that they
00:13:45are not affected by any injuries or accidents that may occur outside
00:13:49the hospital. Our fear is always that, God forbid, any injury
00:13:52or any accident or any patient who comes in injured
00:13:56could, God forbid, affect the rest of the health
00:13:59system. And this is something we do not want to happen for the sake of the continuity
00:14:03of the health system in operation. For this reason, we must be prepared that
00:14:08the forefront to stop it before it spreads into any system, God
00:14:12willing. The program includes theoretical
00:14:15sessions and practical applications that address
00:14:18safe and effective response mechanisms
00:14:21for incidents involving hazardous materials,
00:14:25risk assessment, and management of exposure,
00:14:29contamination, and medical contamination, evacuation,
00:14:32and medical decontamination procedures,
00:14:35and ways to protect patients and healthcare

00:15:13The Ministry clarified that the registration system
00:15:17guarantees transparency and freedom of
00:15:20choice for Hajj companies and non-interference.
00:15:23Rather, it ensures that companies

00:15:30that it is mandatory to choose a Hajj company
00:15:34from the system by the eligible applicant, with all
00:15:37financial consequences and legal obligations
00:15:40between the parties. The Ministry added that
00:15:44no application submitted

00:16:23Four Palestinians were martyred
00:16:26and others were
00:16:27injured
00:16:35in an Israeli shelling of the Gaza Strip.
00:16:39The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that Israeli
00:16:42occupation forces launched an airstrike on Al-Shuja'iyya neighborhood
00:16:46in eastern Gaza City, which led to the martyrdom of a Palestinian
00:16:49and the injury of others, adding that a Palestinian
00:16:52child was martyred due to the occupation
00:16:56forces' fire in the northern Nuseirat refugee camp in the central
00:16:59Strip. In the Jabalia refugee camp, a young
00:17:03Palestinian man was martyred and others were injured
00:17:06by a raid carried out by an Israeli
00:17:09aircraft. A Palestinian was also martyred in an occupation
00:17:12shelling that targeted a vehicle in Sheikh Radwan neighborhood northwest
00:17:16of the Strip.
00:17:21And we remain in the Gaza Strip, where about
00:17:24700,000 male and female
00:17:26Strip returned to education with the start of the new academic
00:17:30year after three years
00:17:33the Strip.
00:17:36in-person education and distance education, as about
00:17:40700 educational points were approved, distributed
00:17:43between tents
00:17:44and temporary
00:17:47centers. In a place that used to count losses,
00:17:50today began to count another kind of numbers,
00:17:54the numbers of children returning to their notebooks
00:17:56and their voices that are trying to regain
00:18:00something of a life that stopped
00:18:02for a long time. Today, notebooks are opened
00:18:06and pens return.
00:18:16We currently have 1200 male
00:18:18and female students. As much as possible,
00:18:22we provided chairs and tables for these
00:18:25students instead of the mattresses that
00:18:28were there. They were replaced with tables and chairs, thanks
00:18:32to God Almighty. Here in the Gaza Strip,
00:18:36students resumed their educational journey within an exceptional
00:18:39plan that attempts to bring
00:18:43thousands of children back to school after an interruption
00:18:46imposed by the war and the destruction that affected
00:18:49the education sector. The educational plan
00:18:53relied on about 700 educational points, in
00:18:56addition to 25 temporary schools
00:18:59that form the new
00:19:03the Strip within a plan targeting about
00:19:06700,000 male and female students between in-person
00:19:10education and distance learning.
00:19:13We want our children to live like the children of the world. The war is not over
00:19:17for us 100%. There are still people being targeted. Maybe
00:19:20a shrapnel will hit my son,
00:19:22my daughter. We put them in God's care. We hope
00:19:26our children will go back to school, live. We hope
00:19:29that nothing bad happens to them. But here,
00:19:32the scene is completely different this time. Many
00:19:36schools are unfit to receive students,
00:19:39and others have been converted into shelters
00:19:42for displaced people, while education has found its
00:19:46way into tents, caravans, and temporary centers.
00:19:49And for those whose circumstances do not allow
00:19:53them to attend in person at learning
00:19:56centers, education continues for students through virtual
00:19:59platforms in an attempt to keep students connected
00:20:03to their studies and prevent their academic years from being
00:20:08sacrificed to the circumstances
00:20:11of the war. This was the last period I spent at school three
00:20:14years ago, and now
00:20:19joy, a year of happiness, a year of success,
00:20:23despite the fact that we are reading in tents without
00:20:26ventilation or any chairs, we sit on
00:20:29mattresses, and a year has passed, we lost our
00:20:33friends. We came alone without clothes. So here in the Gaza
00:20:36Strip, education is no longer just
00:20:39desks and blackboards, but it becomes an attempt
00:20:44life and build a future
00:20:48that starts with a child
00:20:50who refuses to let his story
00:20:52end.
00:20:55Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov announced
00:20:58a new meeting between Russia and the United
00:21:01States to address tensions in bilateral relations
00:21:04in the coming weeks. Ryabkov said that the meeting
00:21:08would be useful, but the issues discussed were progressing
00:21:12slowly and less than expected, noting
00:21:15that Moscow would not abandon efforts for talks with Kyiv.
00:21:18Ryabkov added earlier that there was a potential meeting between
00:21:22Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his American counterpart
00:21:25Marco Rubio on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meetings
00:21:28in New York, which would discuss in
00:21:31detail the situation regarding
00:21:33Ukraine.
00:21:37Two people were killed in a Ukrainian drone attack on the capital
00:21:40Moscow and its surroundings. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that
00:21:44its air defenses repelled more than 1,600
00:21:48drones, including 400
00:21:51aircraft that were heading towards Moscow. The Ministry
00:21:54added that 400 people were evacuated due
00:21:57to a fire that broke out after a drone crashed into a building.
00:22:01The Ministry indicated that its forces bombed a warehouse for
00:22:04drones and missiles in Kyiv, a cargo ship,
00:22:08and a supply and logistics center in the port
00:22:11of Odesa. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that
00:22:15the strikes targeted one of the main facilities of the Russian
00:22:18oil industry,
00:22:21noting that the attack had a significant
00:22:26the capital Moscow. In a related context, the Ukrainian
00:22:29army said that its forces shot down 100 drones
00:22:33out of 138
00:22:36drones over various areas
00:22:38and also over the Crimean Peninsula.
00:23:16The Strategic Dialogue Forum of the Ministry of Labour, in its stop
00:23:19in the governorate of North Al Batinah, reviewed the most prominent achievements,
00:23:22challenges, and opportunities in the labor market in the governorate.
00:23:26The forum included sessions to discuss the needs
00:23:29of beneficiaries of the Ministry's services and opportunities to develop services
00:23:33and enhance partnership between various entities, in addition
00:23:37to foreseeing the future of the labor market and future
00:23:40trends and priorities. The organization of the forum comes
00:23:44within the participatory approach adopted by the Ministry of Labor in preparing
00:23:47its strategy in a way that takes into account the needs of the
00:23:51governorates and supports the quality
00:23:53of planning and effectiveness of implementation. The activities of the forum were sponsored
00:23:57by His Excellency Mohammed bin Suleiman Al Kindi, Governor of North Al Batinah.
00:24:00"Invest in Oman"
00:24:04continues its efforts to localize industries by
00:24:07linking investment opportunities with the actual needs of
00:24:11economic sectors and attracting qualitative
00:24:14investments and transforming them into
00:24:18productive projects. Linking investment opportunities
00:24:22to build necessary partnerships and establish new factories
00:24:25and production lines
00:24:26within the Sultanate of Oman.
00:24:30Providing investment opportunities linked
00:24:33to actual industrial needs is an important
00:24:36step to increase the attractiveness of industrial investment in
00:24:39the Sultanate of Oman and open the door for the private sector
00:24:43to enter into partnerships based on clear
00:24:46demand and achieve added value for the national
00:24:50economy. "Invest in Oman" at
00:24:53the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion works
00:24:56to highlight qualitative investment opportunities
00:25:00and make them available to investors and link
00:25:03them to priority sectors, which supports
00:25:06transforming them into sustainable projects, increasing
00:25:10local content, developing national supply chains,
00:25:14and expanding the base of local production. Linking
00:25:17opportunities with actual industrial demand is one
00:25:20of the paths supporting investment localization,
00:25:23as it begins by identifying industrial
00:25:26needs and converting them into clear investment
00:25:30opportunities, then linking them with investors
00:25:33and building the necessary partnerships to establish new
00:25:36factories and production lines within the Sultanate of
00:25:40Oman. In August last year, investment
00:25:43opportunities were launched as part of the "Watanha"
00:25:47initiative, which was one of the results of the integration
00:25:50between "Invest in Oman" and a number of related
00:25:54entities. The economic impacts of the projects are expected
00:25:58to extend to knowledge and technology transfer,
00:26:01and the development of national industrial and technical capabilities,
00:26:04and job creation, and the growth of local supply chains, in addition
00:26:08to reducing reliance on imports,
00:26:12increasing local added value, and increasing the competitiveness
00:30:43of paramount importance at this stage to maintain strong and solid relations
00:30:47between the Sultanate of Oman and the United States, and as
00:30:50you know, many important policies are currently
00:30:54the United States and also in other countries, and I believe that
00:30:58strengthening ties between our two countries.
