00:00:00ports and ships that
00:00:02At the end of transport grain and thus contribute to the global
00:00:05food crisis. Therefore, this escalation is an attempt by
00:00:13knowledge to others in this long as he has money and can circumvent both parties to prove their presence,
00:00:14sector. The importance of this days against that they are capable of continuing this war. Okay, Dr. Saeed, also from
00:00:17selection of a Hajj company the timing perspective, these strikes came during
00:00:20the Russian parliamentary
00:00:23elections. Does this also have a meaning? Did
00:00:27Ukraine have goals in directing the strike at this
00:00:32submitted before this time? This is what
00:00:35the Russians say, that this is an attempt
00:00:38to disrupt the elections. However, the elections have received severe criticism that the elections
00:00:43that may come, to be at are not fair, not comprehensive,
00:00:47Putin controls the reins of power with full force, that
00:00:51the parties loyal to President Putin are the ones that will win
00:00:54the majority, and the opposition is muzzled. Therefore, this is what the Russians say, but
00:00:58I think Ukraine is very concerned about the elections
00:01:02because it knows that the Russian president controls Russia
00:01:05with an iron fist. Therefore,
00:01:09the Ukrainian strikes are
00:01:11and conferences with a continuation of what I said, a qualitative shift for them since a not-so-distant
00:01:15time in using drones because
00:01:18their cost is cheap,
00:01:20ability to deal with they can be produced quickly. Ukraine has extensive
00:01:23experience in this field and causes damage in Russia. As
00:01:27President Zelensky said, striking oil
00:01:31countries, and the right, for example, in facilities and logistical facilities that were struck during the launch of more than
00:01:341,600 drones during Saturday
00:01:37and Sunday, I think, will stop billions
00:01:40of dollars that go to the war that Russia
00:01:44launched in Leipzig, in is waging against Ukraine, which began in
00:01:47from both countries stated that this February 2022.
00:01:49Therefore, I think there is no link between the two. It
00:01:52is a continuation of Ukraine's attempt to put pressure,
00:01:55because even the Ukrainian president said
00:01:58an anticipated summit to be held this that he calls on Russia to come to the negotiation table, but from a stronger
00:02:01position because he is causing damage. Before that, the conflict
00:02:05and strikes were taking place within Ukrainian territories, but when
00:02:09in Ukraine. Therefore, it is President Zelensky got the green light,
00:02:12he started striking deep into Russian territory. And I think since
00:02:16the beginning of President Trump's term, he used strikes as a kind of
00:02:19pressure, even though President Trump himself, despite his attempts
00:02:23at diplomacy and sending Witkoff and Kushner
00:02:26to Russia and Ukraine, he signed a bill
00:02:30in Congress that
00:02:33imposes sanctions and tariffs on countries
00:02:37that import Russian oil and gas, especially China and India,
00:02:40even though these sanctions were lifted in order to
00:02:44confront and reduce
00:02:46treatment decisions at the effects of the Strait of Hormuz crisis on oil prices. Therefore, there is no link
00:02:49between the two, but it is a continuation of Ukraine's attempt to push
00:02:53Russia to sit down at the negotiation table from a stronger
00:02:57position compared to Russia at the present time. Yes. Okay, doctor, you
00:03:00also mentioned in your answer that
00:03:04future. The Russian president is determined to Ukrainian attacks targeted
00:03:07refineries and energy facilities in
00:03:09Russia. Does this
00:03:12have an impact that will weaken
00:03:16Russia's ability to finance the war, or will its impact
00:03:19remain
00:03:20limited?
00:03:24It definitely has an impact, it has an impact,
00:03:26but what reduces the impact of this strike
00:03:30and the Russian losses is President Putin's personality. President
00:03:32Putin previously said
00:03:35that the biggest strategic mistake in the 20th century was the collapse
00:03:39of the Soviet Union. He has been trying, since he took power,
00:03:42to restore Russia's strength on the international
00:03:46Readiness to deal with stage, its diplomatic role, its military role.
00:03:49reducing reliance on It has become a player on the international stage compared to what it was before the collapse of the Soviet
00:03:53Union. Therefore, he has restored some of Russia's power on the international
00:03:57stage.
00:03:59of traffic safety on Therefore, although these strikes reduce
00:04:01funding, despite the many packages of sanctions
00:04:05from the European Union against Russia, the Russian
00:04:09president's personality is that he is a stubborn person who wants to win this
00:04:13war, who wants to achieve the goals he spoke about,
00:04:18stage of this that he does not care about any effects on the Russian people, whatever they may be, because there are indeed losses in
00:04:22Russia, but not significant
00:04:24this program from losses compared to the losses for Ukraine.
00:04:27But in terms of soldiers, the losses are heavy.
00:04:32Omani cadres in But as I said, his personality is a stubborn
00:04:34its catastrophic effects will continue personality, his grip on power is strong, no one can oppose him.
00:04:38Therefore, what weakens
00:04:41Western funding and
00:04:44cadres are participating in what weakens the war machine and what weakens what Ukraine is doing is the personality of the Russian president, his grip,
00:04:48and his ability to circumvent sanctions.
00:04:51That is, China does not
00:04:54care about American sanctions. China imports Russian oil and gas.
00:04:58Russia has been under sanctions since 2022
00:05:02days, focuses on and before 2022, decontamination procedures. This since its annexation of the Crimean
00:05:04were inaugurated. We aim for this Peninsula through an invasion
00:05:07that was illegal, but it has succeeded in overcoming
00:05:11the sanctions and... securing funding for the war.
00:05:14Therefore, despite all the sanctions and the siege, Doctor,
00:05:17do you expect Moscow to respond
00:05:20by expanding its operations in the coming
00:05:25Ukrainian infrastructure
00:05:28and sites in
00:05:30Ukraine?
00:05:34Certainly, the news says that
00:05:37Russia has carried out various attacks on factories in
00:05:41Kyiv that are
00:05:43helping guide the missiles that Russia uses to
00:05:47strike. Ukraine uses them to strike Russia, so
00:05:50there is targeting of energy facilities, power stations. There are
00:05:54continuous targets and there are even casualties in
00:05:57various places in Odesa,
00:06:00Kherson, and other areas, and
00:06:03I think what the Slovak Prime Minister
00:06:06Robert Fico
00:06:09said is very important for the world to pay attention
00:06:12to. He said that there are some Western
00:06:15politicians who seek to provoke
00:06:18conflict between NATO
00:06:22and Russia after the failed strategy of defeating Russia. That is,
00:06:25NATO tried and European countries tried
00:06:28to finance Ukraine in this war, but they did not succeed in defeating
00:06:32Russia, despite all the sanctions. Therefore,
00:06:35he said, and the Slovak Prime Minister has good relations with
00:06:39Russia, there is a success for the right in European
00:06:43Germany, the Alternative for Germany, which won in Saxony-Anhalt,
00:06:47said that he wants to restore relations with Russia.
00:06:51There are countries that do not want to antagonize Russia because
00:06:54Russia is there, there are protests
00:06:57Germany, in Moldova, in
00:07:00near Luxembourg Airport. So there are Russian risks and threats,
00:07:03and the Slovak Prime Minister fears that activating
00:07:07the collective defense principle in NATO could lead to a war between NATO
00:07:10and Russia, and Russia is a country.
00:07:15There is a drain on the funds spent by European Union
00:07:18and NATO countries on armaments and on the war
00:07:22more important, Doctor, in short,
00:07:24in your opinion, what is the most likely scenario
00:07:28in the coming days? Do you expect
00:07:31a widespread Russian response, a continuation of the drone
00:07:35war, or a political move to contain
00:07:38the escalation? What indicator should be monitored in the
00:07:41coming days?
00:07:45All indications say that the trend is towards escalation, not
00:07:48negotiations, because Kushner's
00:07:51and Witkoff's visit did not yield any results. US President Donald
00:07:54Trump's requests to both sides not to
00:07:57target energy infrastructure were not implemented,
00:08:01and Ukraine is striking Russian
00:08:04energy facilities and inflicting losses on them to dry up the sources of funding for the war that Russia
00:08:08is waging against Ukraine. There are no signs that
00:08:13it will be the master of the situation in the near
00:08:16continue the war, although he says he is open to negotiations.
00:08:19The Ukrainian president says he calls on Russia to negotiate, but he is
00:08:23striking energy facilities. Therefore, talk is one thing and reality is another.
00:08:27As long as there is funding from European Union and NATO countries
00:08:30to Ukraine, this war will continue. I think
00:08:33that European Union and NATO countries
00:08:37should think again whether they can defeat Russia. It is very
00:08:40difficult to achieve that. After
00:08:44four and a half years of sanctions and
00:08:48all the weapons that Ukraine is using in Russia,
00:08:52has Russia stopped the war? It has not stopped the war. Russia still controls
00:08:55about 20% of Ukrainian territory, especially in the Donbas region, which
00:08:59is inhabited by a Russian majority. Therefore, all these indicators
00:09:02say that the conflict will continue, that the drone
00:09:05war that Ukraine is using will continue, that Russia will respond
00:09:09strongly, and unfortunately,
00:09:13there is no solution because there is a big gap between the two parties. Ukraine wants
00:09:16security guarantees that the United States has not yet provided. Russia wants
00:09:20some concessions on the territories, which Ukraine rejects. Therefore, there is a big gap between
00:09:24the two parties. Both parties must realize that the military solution cannot
00:09:28resolve this conflict. Therefore, middle ground solutions must be reached.
00:09:31Who holds the magic wand? Who can offer the formula
00:09:35that saves the face of the two leaders before
00:09:38their people to justify reaching an agreement? This is what
00:09:42can solve this problem, otherwise, unfortunately,
00:09:47on both countries, and its catastrophic effects on the region, on
00:09:50energy prices, and so on, on the global economy. And it is better, I think,
00:09:54for the European Union and NATO countries to seriously consider the words of the Slovak
00:09:58Prime Minister, who stressed that there are some
00:10:02Western politicians who want to incite conflict. Conflict is not in
00:10:06anyone's interest. Russia poses a threat to Europe,
00:10:10but as Angela Merkel, the former
00:10:13German Chancellor, said, trade and diplomacy were
00:10:16the two ways or paths to contain the Russian threat. Therefore, if Russia's
00:10:20interest is found through gas supplies to Europe and strong
00:10:23diplomatic projects and relations, I think the Russian threat can be contained, otherwise,
00:10:27I think the war will continue as long as President Putin is in power, and as long as
00:10:30his grip on power is strong, and as
00:10:34sanctions. And in the end, as long as the European Union is willing
00:10:38to spend money and NATO is willing to supply
00:10:40weapons, I think, unfortunately, all indicators say that
00:10:44the war will continue between the two sides. Yes, so Dr.
00:10:47Saeed Shehata, Professor of International Relations at the University of London,
00:10:51thank you very much. North
00:10:54Korea launched an unspecified ballistic
00:10:57missile off its eastern coast. The South

00:11:45Talks are being held in New York between US Treasury Secretary
00:11:49Scott Besant and Chinese Vice Premier
00:11:52Hu Chunhua. It is expected that the two sides will discuss
00:11:56trade issues, most notably reducing
00:11:59tariffs on non-strategic goods and increasing China's
00:12:03purchases of American agricultural goods by
00:12:07$17 billion annually. Officials
00:12:12meeting paves the way for potential agreements

00:17:44The National Heart Surgery Center at Sultan Qaboos
00:17:47University Hospital achieved a medical breakthrough, the first of its kind
00:17:51in the Sultanate of Oman, by implanting the first
00:17:55CardioMEMS sensor to measure pulmonary
00:17:58artery pressure, used to monitor heart
00:18:01failure patients remotely. The sensor allows
00:18:04wireless pulmonary artery pressure measurement
00:18:08directly through transcatheter
00:18:11intervention without
00:18:14the need for open surgery, which contributes
00:18:17to continuous patient monitoring
00:18:20and supports making
00:18:23the right time. The device also provides
00:18:27a proactive monitoring system by
00:18:30sending daily readings related to hemodynamics
00:18:33and pulmonary artery pressure levels
00:18:37to the doctor, which enables monitoring
00:18:41changes in the patient's condition
00:18:43and early detection of indicators of health deterioration
00:18:47and fluid retention
00:18:49before the appearance of clinical
00:18:54symptoms. The Ministry of Health launched an advanced
00:18:58specialized training program in the field of responding
00:19:02to chemical, biological, and radiological
00:19:05incidents. The program aims to enhance readiness in emergency
00:19:08situations in cooperation with a number of local
00:19:11and international
00:19:12bodies.
00:19:23major accidents and hazardous materials.
00:19:27The focus of a specialized training program
00:19:30launched by the Ministry of Health with the participation of
00:19:33health cadres from various entities
00:19:36aims to raise the efficiency of medical
00:19:39response and enhance coordination between institutions
00:19:43and authorities concerned with emergencies and crises. 15
00:19:47will undergo a train-the-trainer
00:19:49program, and then we will move to the fourth stage,
00:19:53which is the exciting program, where
00:19:57the trainers who graduated from
00:20:02our Omani cadres will train
00:20:0520 others.

00:20:32and explosive incidents and medical
00:20:37program, which will last 30
00:20:40the risks associated with emergency situations
00:20:44resulting from chemical,
00:20:47biological, and radiological
00:20:50materials and explosives.
00:20:52this program, God willing, there will be Omani
00:20:55competencies trained in dealing with
00:20:59these situations, and even transferring
00:21:04course is that
00:21:07the health sector continues to work and is not
00:21:10affected by any injuries or accidents that may occur outside
00:21:14the hospital. Our constant fear is that, God forbid, any injury
00:21:17or accident or any patient who comes in injured
00:21:21could, God forbid, affect the rest of the health system,
00:21:24and we don't want this to happen because of the continuity
00:21:28of the health system's work. For this reason, we must be prepared for anything
00:21:33the forefront so that we can stop it before it spreads into any system, God willing.
00:21:37The program includes theoretical
00:21:40sessions and practical applications that address
00:21:43safe and effective response mechanisms
00:21:46for incidents involving hazardous materials,
00:21:50risk assessment, and management of exposure
00:21:54and contamination cases, medical
00:21:57decontamination, and medical decontamination procedures,
00:22:00and ways to protect patients and healthcare
00:22:03workers. Continuous training enhances the readiness
00:22:06of national cadres and gives them greater
00:22:10major accidents efficiently
00:22:13and safely. Aya bint Mohammed Al-Salhi,

00:22:20Now to the economic news with colleague Ahmed bin
00:22:23Rashid Al-Hinai. Thank you, Ibrahim, and welcome, viewers, to
00:22:27the details of the economic
00:22:28bulletin.
00:22:33Sohar Port and Free Zone
00:22:37- We grow trade, we create
00:22:39opportunities. Invest in Oman has succeeded
00:22:43in localizing components of the electrical transformer industry
00:22:46with investments exceeding 15 million Omani rials,
00:22:50continuing its efforts to attract qualitative investments
00:22:53and transform them into productive projects in all
00:22:57fields.
00:23:00Providing investment opportunities linked
00:23:03to actual industrial needs is an important step
00:23:06to increase the attractiveness of industrial investment in the Sultanate of Oman
00:23:10and open the door for the private sector to enter
00:23:13into partnerships based on clear demand
00:23:17and achieve added value for the national
00:23:20economy. Invest in Oman, under the Ministry
00:23:23of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, works to highlight
00:23:27qualitative investment opportunities and make them
00:23:30available to investors, linking them to priority
00:23:33sectors in a way that supports their transformation into
00:23:36sustainable projects and increases local
00:23:38content, develops national supply chains, and expands
00:23:42the base of local production. Linking
00:23:45opportunities to actual industrial demand is one of the supporting
00:23:49paths to localizing investment, as it begins
00:23:52with identifying industrial needs and transforming them into clear
00:23:55investment opportunities, then linking them to
00:23:58investors and building the necessary partnerships
00:24:01to establish new factories and production
00:24:05lines within the Sultanate of Oman. In August
00:24:08last year, investment opportunities were launched
00:24:12within the "Watanha" initiative, which was one of the results
00:24:15of the integration between Invest in Oman and a number of relevant
00:24:19entities. It is expected that the economic
00:24:22impacts of the projects will extend to knowledge
00:24:26and technology transfer, development of national industrial and technical
00:24:29capabilities, creation of job opportunities, development of local
00:24:33supply chains, and expansion of the supplier
00:24:36base, in addition to
00:24:39imports and increasing local added value
00:24:43and enhancing the competitiveness of the industrial
00:24:46sector.
00:24:49The Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry organized the Partners
00:24:52in Achievement Forum to celebrate the achievements made over four
00:24:56years in serving the private sector and enhancing its role in
00:24:59the economic
00:25:01development process.
00:25:04The needs of the private sector and the views of the business
00:25:07community formed the starting point for a number of initiatives
00:25:11and programs that the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry
00:25:14worked to develop, and it showcased
00:25:18some of them during the Partners in Achievement Forum in a path
00:25:22that included supporting the business environment, developing the economy of
00:25:26the governorates, and opening wider channels
00:25:29for commercial and investment communication locally
00:25:32and internationally. With the end of this session, we
00:25:36reviewed the most prominent achievements of the Oman Chamber of Commerce
00:25:39and Industry. Perhaps the most prominent is the growth of
00:25:43the Chamber's investment portfolio by more than
00:25:4545%, and today, the new
00:25:49building and headquarters of the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry
00:25:54building to be an iconic
00:25:57headquarters and building that represents the strength
00:26:00of the Omani economy and also a facade for delegations that
00:26:04come to the Sultanate of Oman. During this session, the executive management worked
00:26:08to translate the directives of the Board of Directors into plans,
00:26:10programs, and initiatives
00:26:13in integration with the sectoral committees and the Chamber's branches in the governorates
00:26:16and all partners. During the past period,
00:26:20we focused on building an integrated management system
00:26:24with efficiency by focusing
00:26:28on enhancing governance, developing processes, automating
00:26:31services, and empowering competencies.
00:26:35Figures reflect the expanded scope of work and achievement during
00:26:38the past period, including the growth of
00:26:42the investment portfolio by

00:27:44I am very proud to be a member of the Small and Medium Enterprises Committee
00:27:47of the Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry. We have achieved many accomplishments
00:27:51in empowering entrepreneurs and empowering small
00:27:54enterprises, and I would like to thank the members of the
00:27:57Chamber's Board of Directors and the executive management for their support for us, and without
00:28:01them we would not have achieved institutional
00:28:05and digital transformation, which constitute a main axis
00:28:08in the Chamber's directions through a strategy that focuses on
00:28:12improving the business environment,
00:28:14developing the economy of the governorates, and enhancing
00:28:17governance, in addition to an institutional methodology
00:28:21for selecting initiatives and measuring their economic
00:28:24impact, and linking the work of the sectoral
00:28:27committees with economic studies and analyses.
00:28:29A
00:28:32path towards more institutional work linked
00:28:36to the needs of the private sector and decisions
00:28:39based on data and measuring results, while
00:28:42the Chamber continues to develop its tools and partnerships
00:28:46to enhance the presence of the business community in the economic
