00:08:06maintains its purity away from light
00:08:09pollution. Protecting this environment finds
00:08:12its way with environmental observers from various
00:08:17in the first environmental camp organized
00:08:20by the Environment Authority, where participants reside among
00:08:23its mountains and learn firsthand about
00:08:27the life it contains and the care it
00:08:30requires. The ultimate goal of this camp
00:08:33or environmental camp is the intellectual development
00:08:37of environmental observers from
00:08:41the legal and supervisory
00:08:44aspects, including technical workshops
00:08:47and legal workshops, as well
00:08:51as monitoring patrols. Through field tours,
00:08:54observers move between the reserve's
00:08:57locations, using GPS devices
00:09:01and camera traps to monitor
00:09:04wildlife and document observations
00:09:07in reports that specify their locations, nature, and the
00:09:11necessary actions for their
00:09:14protection. This is the first camp to be held in the Al Hajar
00:09:18Al Gharbi Reserve for Stargazing, Al Dakhiliyah
00:09:23learn about the reserve and gain
00:09:26experience. The practical program involves conducting
00:09:30foot patrols and installing camera traps
00:09:33to observe the wildlife present within
00:09:37the reserve, such as birds,
00:09:40Arabian Tahr, and the existing plant
00:09:44life, such as Al-Alan trees,
00:09:47Al-Atom trees, Al-Bot trees, Al-Shahsa trees, and
00:09:51some small wild plants such as Al-Qa'dah
00:09:54and many others. The camp
00:09:57brings together observers from diverse environments in terms of
00:10:00their nature and work requirements, which allows
00:10:04for the exchange of experiences and
00:10:07the discussion of practices that have proven effective
00:10:10in performing their duties, expanding the
00:10:13benefit of what each participant
00:10:15offers in knowledge
00:10:18and experience. The protection of rare
00:10:21environmental sites remains dependent on the awareness of
00:10:25those who frequent them and their
00:10:27commitment to preserving them as they were found. From
00:10:30the Al Hajar Al Gharbi Reserve for Stargazing, Ali
00:10:34Dear viewers, at the end of our bulletin, here's a reminder of
00:10:37its main
00:10:40headlines. His Majesty the Sultan, may God protect
00:10:43him, congratulates the Armenian President and the Maltese President
00:10:47on the occasion of
00:10:47their countries' independence.
00:10:52The US President says he
00:10:55has made a decision on Iran, and Tehran warns Washington against
00:10:59launching new attacks and promises a greater
00:11:02response.
00:11:06Ukrainian attack on Russia with more than 1600
00:11:10drones, and Moscow announces a meeting with
00:11:13Washington to discuss the end
00:11:15of the war.
00:11:18The bulletin has ended. We send you our
00:11:21regards from the news center team. Thank you very
00:11:25much for following us. Goodbye.
00:12:41Culture is not just what we know, but
00:12:45what makes us see the world differently.
00:12:48Here our story begins, from the word
00:12:51when it transforms into an idea, and from the idea when
00:12:55it becomes knowledge, and from knowledge when it
00:12:58leaves an impact on people. Here, we don't
00:13:02just read what is written, but we try
00:13:05to read what is behind it. We approach literature
00:13:08and listen to poetry, and search through the pages
00:13:11of history, and stop at art
00:13:14and heritage, and meet names that made their presence felt with
00:13:18words, ideas, and entertainment. Al-Jahiz
00:13:21says: Meanings are scattered along the
00:13:25way. Arabs, non-Arabs, villagers, and Bedouins
00:13:28all know them. But the point is in establishing
00:13:31the weight and choosing the word. Perhaps
00:13:35this is also the story of culture. Ideas
00:13:38are abundant around us, but their value
00:13:42lies in the way we see them and
00:13:45the story we create from them. In
00:13:49every episode, we open a new door and
00:13:52let wonder lead us to a
00:13:55book worth reading, a poet worth listening
00:13:57to, a place that preserves the memory
00:14:01of a nation, and a character behind
00:14:03whom lies a story
00:14:11we don't know. Welcome to Matoun. This
00:14:15time, Matoun from Oman doesn't come from the pages
00:14:18of a novel or a collection of poetry, but
00:14:22from the stage, where human issues are transformed
00:14:25into characters, and society's questions into dialogue,
00:14:29and sometimes silence into a scream. Omani
00:14:31writer Tahiyya Al-Rawahi windows on
00:14:35humanity in her plays. She writes about
00:14:39corruption and mismanagement, about migrants driven
00:14:42by wars into the unknown, and about
00:14:46fear standing in the way of duty, and
00:14:49about loss and wars, and even about the
00:14:53values of justice, love, and independence that
00:14:56she addresses to children in one of her
00:15:00plays. A city submerged in waste becomes a
00:15:03metaphor for mismanagement and officials' evasion of
00:15:07their responsibilities. In another, we hear a mother's
00:15:10cry searching for her child amidst destruction and
00:15:13migration, while another text reveals how
00:15:16fear can make a person abandon their
00:15:19duty. As for children's plays, the
00:15:22story is more innocent, instilling more humane
00:15:26values in the world of children. What
00:15:29distinguishes this experience is that some of these
00:15:33texts did not remain confined to paper. They
00:15:37won competitions at the Literary Forum in the
00:15:41Sultanate of Oman and were transferred to the
00:15:44stage, winning awards at theatrical festivals during the period between
00:15:482004 and 2012.
00:15:52Five stories and five faces of humanity, from
00:15:55the landfill and the shackles to the task
00:15:59and the crystal ball and royal coffins,
00:16:02all the way to children's plays. In these
00:16:06does not merely present the problem, but
00:16:09leaves her questions suspended before the
00:16:12recipient: What happens when fear
00:16:16becomes stronger than truth, and when
00:16:20duty becomes merely
00:16:23a person becomes a victim of decisions
00:16:26they cannot change? All of this was
00:16:30collected by the writer in one book, published
00:16:33by the Omani Society
00:16:36in cooperation with Al-Ain Publishers
00:16:39and Distributors in Jordan, in 110
00:16:42pages. It is
00:16:43the text of Royal
00:16:51Coffins: Five plays, but at their core,
00:16:55five attempts to get
00:16:58when it is surrounded by fear, loss,
00:17:01power, and reality.
00:17:04text worth reading. What if the copyist
00:17:07who used to transcribe the words of others
00:17:11hid within himself a story that no one
00:17:14could read? In the world of novels,
00:17:17stories are not
00:17:20always found in the written words. Sometimes,
00:17:22they lie between the
00:17:26character, an old secret, or a
00:17:30question that haunts the reader until the
00:17:33last page. A novel published in
00:17:371853. Its pages contain
00:17:41a story that takes us into the world
00:17:45of scribes and books, where knowledge intersects
00:17:48with power, and writing becomes more than
00:17:51just a profession. It becomes a means
00:17:54of preserving memory and perhaps a
00:17:58means of confronting oblivion. We get
00:18:01closer to a character who stands between
00:18:04two worlds: the world of paper and ink,
00:18:08and the world of life with its secrets,
00:18:11conflicts,
00:18:14and questions. As the story progresses,
00:18:18it seems that what the copyist writes
00:18:21is not just a text he transcribes,
00:18:24but an effect that leads him
00:18:27to a greater story. So, who
00:18:31is this copyist, and what do the
00:18:34papers in his hands hide? And
00:18:37where does the task of transcribing words
00:18:42story begin?
00:18:44Bartleby, the Scrivener. In
00:18:481853, American writer Herman
00:18:50Melville published his famous story, "Bartleby,
00:18:54the Scrivener." It is a short story
00:18:57that would become one of the most
00:19:00mysterious and influential literary texts in
00:19:04American literature. In
00:19:07a law office on Wall Street,
00:19:11Bartleby appears, a quiet, pale,
00:19:14and taciturn man. He comes to work
00:19:18as a copyist of documents. He sits
00:19:22behind a screen in the office
00:19:25and spends long hours copying papers
00:19:28without drawing attention until one
00:19:31day the office owner asks him
00:19:34to help review a document. Bartleby
00:19:38raises his eyes and calmly replies,
00:19:42"I would prefer not to." A
00:19:45simple sentence, but it would transform
00:19:48his entire world. Gradually,
00:19:53refuse everything he is asked to
00:19:56do. He stops
00:19:57copying, then
00:20:00refuses to leave the office, then
00:20:03refuses to return to his previous
00:20:06life, without raising his voice, explaining
00:20:10his reasons, or declaring his rebellion.
00:20:13And here, the story transforms from
00:20:16a tale of a strange employee
00:20:18into a question about humanity itself.
00:20:21What makes a person withdraw from the
00:20:25world in this way? Is it
00:20:29laziness, despair, or illness? Or
00:20:33has Bartleby reached a point where
00:20:36he can no longer live according
00:20:39to the rules imposed by the
00:20:42world? The most painful thing is
00:20:46that Melville doesn't give us a
00:20:49clear answer. He doesn't tell us
00:20:52about Bartleby's past, nor does
00:20:55he reveal the secret behind his
00:20:59silence. He leaves him
00:21:02before us as he is, a
00:21:06mysterious human being, as if a part
00:21:09of him died in a place
00:21:14And the law office itself seems
00:21:17like a microcosm
00:21:22world: a world
00:21:26is measured by one's work,
00:21:29productivity, and speed. And in
00:21:32the midst of
00:21:35comes to say in his quiet
00:21:38voice, "I prefer not to participate."
00:21:41But what's interesting is that Bartleby,
00:21:45who refuses everything, manages to change
00:21:48others. The office owner moves from
00:21:52anger to pity, then to an
00:21:55attempt to understand. It's as if
00:21:58Bartleby's silence forces those around
00:22:01him to see the human being
00:22:05hidden behind the job. At the
00:22:21end of the story, his withdrawal from
00:22:25the world reaches its extreme, to
00:22:29prison, after he refused to leave
00:22:32the office. And there, he dies alone. Then the
00:22:36narrator reveals a small detail, but one that
00:22:40is highly significant:
00:22:43Bartleby had previously worked in a
00:22:46dead letter office. Letters that never
00:22:50reached their recipients. Letters whose recipients
00:22:54died before they
00:22:56written with love or anticipation
00:23:00or hope, but lost along the
00:23:04way. And it
00:23:08Bartleby himself
00:23:11that never arrived, that he could
00:23:14have had a place in the
00:23:17world, but he couldn't find his
00:23:20way there. And so, Bartleby, the
00:23:24Scrivener, doesn't seem like a
00:23:28story about an employee who refuses
00:23:31to work, but rather an elegy
00:23:35for a human being who can no longer connect
00:23:38with life. Perhaps Bartleby was ill,
00:23:41and perhaps he was rebellious, and
00:23:45perhaps he was a victim of
00:23:48a world that didn't know how
00:23:51to hear his silence. And therein
00:23:54lies Melville's power. He doesn't
00:23:58ask us to judge Bartleby,
00:24:03him. How many people have passed
00:24:06through our lives and we thought
00:24:10them cold, lazy, or strange,
00:24:13when they were carrying something within
00:24:17them that we couldn't see? And
00:24:21how many times have we heard
00:24:24someone say, "I prefer not to,"
00:24:28and we didn't ask the most
00:24:31important question: Why?
00:24:35In our segment today, we talk
00:24:38about a painting described as a
00:24:43art: The Great
00:24:52Wave off Kanagawa by the Japanese
00:24:55painter and artist Katsushika
00:24:59Hokusai, created between
00:25:031829 and
00:25:061833. He was over
00:25:10seventy years old at the time.
00:25:13Hokusai added
00:25:16to this series, bringing the total to 46
00:25:24painting is the most famous and
00:25:28reproduced artwork in the world and is
00:25:31considered a landmark and inspiring work
00:25:35in Japanese art. The painting depicts
00:25:38towering waves threatening fishing boats off
00:25:42the coast of Kanagawa, in a
00:25:45scene that pits humans against the
00:25:48power of nature. The wave dominates
00:25:52the center of the painting with its
00:25:57flowing movement, giving the viewer a
00:26:00sense of danger and helplessness, while
00:26:04the fishing boats appear small and
00:26:08fragile before them. Hokusai used
00:26:11cool and muted colors, most notably
00:26:14dark blue and white, which evoke
00:26:18coldness and fear, while white can
00:26:22be interpreted as a symbol of
00:26:27The painting was created using the
00:26:30Japanese woodblock printing technique, which involves
00:26:34carving the design onto a wooden
00:26:38block and then printing it onto
00:26:41paper. In the background, Mount Fuji
00:26:44appears, stable and calm amidst the
00:26:47turmoil of the sea, a recurring
00:26:50presence in Hokusai's works, especially
00:26:55Views of Mount Fuji." The mountain
00:26:58was not merely an element, but
00:27:01a symbol of stability and strength and a deep
00:27:05spiritual place in Japanese culture. Therefore,
00:27:10in his works from various angles,
00:27:14seasons, and weather conditions. Thus, the
00:27:17painting combines the turbulence of the
00:27:21wave with the stability of the
00:27:23mountain, the fragility of humanity before
00:27:27nature and the strength of the
00:27:30symbol that remained steadfast in the
00:27:34background. A writer, but
00:27:37not like all writers. Ghazi
00:27:41Al-Gosaibi was a man who combined
00:27:45in his personality the subtlety of
00:27:48a poet and the wisdom of
00:27:52an administrator, and the pen of
00:27:55a writer and the responsibility of
00:27:58a minister, and thought and action.
00:28:02He was present in literature as
00:28:05he was present in state fields,
00:28:11the most prominent Saudi and Arab
00:28:15names in the twentieth century.
00:28:18Ghazi Abdul Rahman Al-Gosaibi was born
00:28:22in 1940
00:28:25in Al-Ahsa and grew up
00:28:28in Bahrain, where the features
00:28:39a writer, nor about a minister
00:28:43or an ambassador, but about a
00:28:46human being who lived more than
00:28:49one life in a single life,
00:28:52and left something worth telling in
00:28:56each one. When we mention
00:28:59Omar Khayyam, the poet, the author
00:29:03of the Rubaiyat, comes to mind.
00:29:07poet was an extraordinary scholar in
00:29:11mathematics, astronomy, and philosophy, a man who spent
00:29:15his life pursuing great questions about
00:29:19the universe, time, and humanity. Khayyam's
00:29:22journey began early when he left
00:29:25Nishapur for Samarkand, which was then
00:29:29an important center of science and
00:29:32knowledge. There, his extraordinary talent
00:29:36in mathematics emerged, and he began
00:29:38a scientific journey that would make
00:29:42him one of the most prominent
00:29:46scholars of his era. At the
00:29:48age of approximately
00:29:52authored one of his most important
00:29:55works on algebra and addressed a
00:29:58mathematical question that had occupied scholars
00:30:02for centuries: How can cubic equations
00:30:07realized that the tools of traditional
00:30:10Greek geometry, such as the
00:30:14ruler and compass, were not sufficient
00:30:18on their own. He developed a
00:30:21method based on geometric sections, such
00:30:24as circles and parabolas, to find
00:30:28solutions to these equations. Nevertheless,
00:30:31he continued to look forward to
00:30:35the day when they could be
00:30:39solved using algebra alone, without the
00:30:42need for geometry. and whoever saw in it a pessimistic
00:30:45or nihilistic tendency,
00:30:48and perhaps Omar Khayyam did not leave a final
00:30:52written message before his departure, as mentioned on the
00:30:55Arageek website, but he left his message to existence in
00:30:59his books.
