00:00:20When negligence and recklessness are tools
00:00:24for profit and gain,
00:00:26the citizen becomes a victim of this.
00:00:30Fraud, and then firmness is required against those
00:00:33who toy with people's lives. In Deir ez-Zor,
00:00:37dozens of food poisoning cases varied
00:00:43they say in Deir ez-Zor, that a man visited the hospital. This from mild to moderate, due to eating food from
00:00:46restaurants in the city. The competent
00:00:50health authorities, of course, mobilized to deal with
00:00:53the injured and rushed to close the suspected
00:00:57restaurants and open an investigation into the matter.
00:01:02are open. There are The incident raises several questions about the reasons for the recklessness committed
00:01:06by some restaurants and their non-compliance with health
00:01:09conditions, and it also calls for
00:01:12strict oversight and
00:01:16if the storm behind me started in deterrent penalties to protect citizens' lives. This is
00:01:19what we will discuss in the first part of today's
00:01:23episode. As for the second part,
00:01:26I welcome my guests in this we will discuss military relations between Syria and Qatar,

00:01:51everyone.
00:01:56Defense Minister and his Qatari counterpart at this
00:02:04tanks in
00:02:11Welcome, dear viewers, to Syria Time. Unfortunately, the number of
00:02:15poisoning cases in Deir ez-Zor has risen to more than
00:02:19270 cases. They were admitted to the National
00:02:22Hospital and Huweidi Hospital due to eating
00:02:25as stated in food from restaurants in the city. The Health Directorate
00:02:29in Deir ez-Zor stated that all cases
00:02:32were dealt with,
00:02:34is experiencing a state of anticipation given the necessary treatments, and most
00:02:37of them were discharged, in addition to being given
00:02:40medical specifications and recommendations. Some of them are still under
00:02:44Huweidi Hospital have been discharged. Now, Huweidi Hospital does treatment and observation. Let's watch the report
00:02:49those I saw or those and then return. in the air. Some of them landed More than
00:02:51227 cases of food poisoning in
00:02:56on a regular basis, meaning Deir ez-Zor city, and the number is expected to increase
00:02:59amidst anticipation, as medical staff continue
00:03:03to everyone for free. to provide first aid and treatment to the injured. The cases
00:03:06were distributed between Deir ez-Zor National Hospital and Al-Shaheed
00:03:10American decision Ahmed Huweidi Hospital,
00:03:12regarding the situation according to what was published by the Deir ez-Zor Information Directorate, quoting the Director
00:03:16of Health in the governorate. Deir ez-Zor National Hospital received more than
00:03:1890 cases of food
00:03:22poisoning, while Al-Shaheed Ahmed Huweidi Hospital
00:03:25also received more than 50 children with food poisoning
00:03:30Friday, and we ate foul cases, ranging from moderate to severe,
00:03:32resulting from eating food at one of the city's
00:03:36restaurants, where
00:03:37I ate from this type, how did the hospital is mobilizing its staff to follow up
00:03:40on cases and provide the necessary medical care
00:03:44indeed, there is something, to the injured. The hospital staff also mobilized
00:03:46to follow up on cases and provide the necessary medical care
00:03:49to the injured. In similar cases,
00:03:53Homs Governorate witnessed on October
00:03:5627th a poisoning incident that affected
00:04:00three children after they consumed herbal seeds
00:04:03of castor beans, according to what
00:04:06was announced by the Health Directorate. Karamellouz National Hospital
00:04:11and Huweidi Hospital, received the children,
00:04:13bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, and medical teams provided them with the necessary first aid before
00:04:16transferring them in coordination with Al-Birr Society and Social
00:04:20Services Hospital by a car belonging
00:04:23to the Ambulance and Emergency System of the Homs
00:04:26Health Directorate. The children's health condition stabilized
00:04:30after they were transferred to
00:04:34receive increasing tours of restaurants, the intensive care unit, while the specialized medical staff continues
00:04:36to monitor them and follow up
00:04:40patrols to restaurants on their health conditions. We delve
00:04:43deeper into this situation in Deir ez-Zor. I welcome
00:04:48Mr. Samer. This the Syrian News correspondent from Deir ez-Zor, Ahmed Al-Attara, who joins us live from there. Welcome,
00:04:52Ahmed, to Syria Time.
00:04:54Trade, supervise And we are also pleased to welcome Mr. Bassam Al-Hazza, Head of the Consumer
00:04:58Protection Department in Deir ez-Zor. May God bless you,
00:05:01Mr. Bassam. Welcome also to Syria Time. So,
00:05:06from outside Deir ez-Zor province, from unfortunately,
00:05:06the two defense the number is increasing. The report stated more than
00:05:10227 cases
00:05:13of poisoning from meals
00:05:16from one of the restaurants in Deir ez-Zor. The number
00:05:20has developed and worsened to nearly
00:05:22277.
00:05:25I will stop with you at the beginning, Ahmed. Tell
00:05:28us about what is happening in Deir
00:05:31ez-Zor.
00:05:34Abdul Razzaq, regarding the poisoning cases that reached Huweidi Hospital
00:05:38and the National Hospital in Deir ez-Zor, they were
00:05:41all food poisoning cases, according to the Health Directorate
00:05:45and according to the doctors who treated and gave
00:05:49medication to the patients who
00:05:54poisoning resulted, and everyone I interviewed from the
00:05:58poisoning cases, whether children, women, or
00:06:01families came completely to the hospital, of course,
00:06:05they said that they ate a meal from this restaurant or that
00:06:08restaurant. The issue is, why
00:06:12are the cases increasing now? The issue has been
00:06:16going on since the day before yesterday evening,
00:06:19and now, or until now, the toll is rising.
00:06:23When I asked this question to the media office at the Health Directorate,
00:06:27they said that there were people who were dealing with the situation as if it were
00:06:30a normal cold or a disease or severe fatigue or
00:06:34due to the water. They did not know that there
00:06:38were poisoning cases. When they visited the hospital, they discovered that
00:06:42they were infected with poisoning cases. There are also people
00:06:45who received treatment and went home, then returned
00:06:49to the hospital because the diarrhea did not stop or the vomiting
00:06:52did not stop. They were also treated again. So, the increase
00:06:56in cases is a natural matter, and as the health
00:06:59office confirmed, there are other people who say that the restaurant, how can
00:07:03it sell 270 cases or 270
00:07:06meals, meaning a restaurant in Deir ez-Zor city sells 270
00:07:10meals. The issue is bigger, meaning it needs to be explained
00:07:14or clarified that there are entire families. I saw them in the hospital
00:07:17during my visit to the hospital more than once, whether at Huweidi Hospital or
00:07:21the National Hospital. There are nine people from one family who ate
00:07:25a meal, there are five from one family who ate a meal, there are
00:07:28seven from one family who ate a meal. So,
00:07:32the number of meals does not exceed 50 meals for 250 or
00:07:35270 people. Ahmed,
00:07:38the details of the injuries, the cases ranged from
00:07:41mild to moderate to moderately severe.
00:07:45How are the injured? Are there
00:07:49serious cases among these poisoning
00:07:51cases? All cases at
00:07:57not have any poisoning cases. As for the National
00:08:00Hospital, all cases have also been discharged, with the exception
00:08:04of cases that returned and,
00:08:07in addition to patients who visited the hospital a short
00:08:10while ago, are now taking anti-poisoning medications
00:08:13and anti-inflammatory
00:08:15medications, in addition to anti-vomiting medications.
00:08:19The other issue, or the other part, is that they are
00:08:22patients who suffer from chronic diseases
00:08:26such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Poisoning
00:08:29affected them, so they were placed under
00:08:32observation, not because they were poisoned. The poisoning
00:08:36was treated, but they were placed under observation
00:08:39so that their condition would not worsen, according to the Director of Health. Okay, Ahmed,
00:08:43stay with me. We will return to you, but I will turn to Mr. Bassam,
00:08:47Head of the Consumer Protection Department in Deir ez-Zor. Welcome again,
00:08:50Mr. Bassam. Have the restaurants that
00:08:54caused these cases been identified
00:08:58or are the investigations still ongoing
00:09:12as soon as information reached our directorate,
00:09:15a consumer protection patrol from the Food Safety Department
00:09:19was immediately dispatched to the National Hospital
00:09:23and we met with the citizens and asked
00:09:27them about the restaurants from which they had eaten
00:09:31the meals that led to their poisoning. They informed
00:09:35us of the names of two restaurants. We went directly
00:09:38to the two restaurants, where inspection reports were issued. The first restaurant is still
00:09:56under investigation by the Western Department to determine
00:09:59the cases that led to
00:10:02the poisoning. Dear sir,
00:10:04Mr.
00:10:08Ahmed, in our question also,
00:10:11and our examination of the poisoning cases,
00:10:14many of them came
00:10:18rural areas, meaning they did not eat food
00:10:21from these two restaurants, and yet
00:10:33other fast foods or grills
00:10:36or hummus, foul, and falafel
00:10:39the
00:10:41sick said they ate. They ate home-cooked food,
00:10:45and yet it led to poisoning.
00:10:49Of course, today we participated
00:10:52with the institution's directorate.
00:11:25the main reason
00:11:28for these
00:11:30injuries been determined?
00:11:32Until this moment, the investigation is ongoing, Abdul Razzaq,
00:11:36and the storm has started, meaning, as
00:11:41the eastern countryside. There is thunder
00:11:44and lightning right behind me in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor. We pray to God that it will be a beneficial
00:11:48rain. Ahmed. Amen. Regarding
00:11:51the causes, the investigation is ongoing, but through the interview I
00:11:55conducted with the patients who visited the National Hospital and Huweidi Hospital,
00:11:59all of them ate from the same restaurant or from the same
00:12:02two restaurants. Yes. So, what were these meals,
00:12:05Ahmed? What did they tell you? What were these meals?
00:12:09Some people said they ate foul, falafel, and hummus, and some people said
00:12:13they ate shawarma, and some people said they ate
00:12:16grilled meat, meaning the issue is not
00:12:20about a specific ingredient. Perhaps,
00:12:22we cannot confirm anything. Of course, the Health Directorate took
00:12:26samples from the water the
00:12:30two restaurants and took them to its private
00:12:33laboratories at the Health Directorate and the Deir ez-Zor Water Directorate.
00:12:36As for food samples, food samples were sent
00:12:40to Damascus, of course, according to what
00:12:44was stated by the media office at the Health Directorate, it confirmed that
00:12:47these analyses take from three to five days,
00:12:51meaning that the investigation can continue for a week, and then the results will be announced
00:12:55and the real reasons for these
00:12:57cases will be known. Until this moment, no confirmation can
00:13:01be made, but the data, I will talk about the data and what the
00:13:04people generally say. When they talk about three or
00:13:08four types of food, it is not possible for the main ingredient, whether
00:13:12hummus or chicken or foul or
00:13:15meat, to be spoiled because
00:13:18some meals are not used
00:13:22in the preparation of other meals. So. There is another
00:13:26ingredient, meaning a different ingredient, according to the
00:13:29residents who spoke, there was another
00:13:32ingredient, meaning in the room I
00:13:35entered, the internal care room. Of course,
00:13:39six families approximately, and by virtue
00:13:43of familiarity, the people of Deir ez-Zor are close to each other. People talk
00:13:46to people. I ate kebab, I ate
00:13:50shawarma, I ate foul and hummus. It was
00:13:55and hummus. This issue stated that,
00:13:59if you ate from this type and
00:14:02we both get poisoned? This type is not like this type. So, until
00:14:06this moment, no, indeed,
00:14:09there is a defect in the assessment,
00:14:13you told us that in more than one meal, whether
00:14:16vegetarian or as you said, shawarma. Can the reasons
00:14:19be confirmed, Abdul Razzaq? The reasons cannot be confirmed at
00:14:23all, and we are waiting
00:14:28for the investigation that is being conducted. Okay, Mr. Bassam, were
00:14:32the suspected restaurants that
00:14:35يعني
00:14:37you carried out inspection tours on subject to food
00:14:41supply control before, or not?
00:14:44Of course, Mr. Regarding food
00:14:48supply control, we, in the Directorate of Internal
00:14:51Trade and Consumer Protection, conduct
00:14:57either individually or through a committee
00:15:00formed by the Governor of Deir ez-Zor, including a representative
00:15:04from Deir ez-Zor Governorate and a representative from the Directorate of Internal
00:15:07Trade and a representative from the Directorate of Tourism. This
00:15:11committee conducts tours of tourist
00:15:14restaurants. In addition, we, in the Directorate of Internal
00:15:19popular restaurants. We verify the availability
00:15:23of health conditions in restaurants
00:15:26and the compliance of restaurants
00:15:30and their workers with healthy clothing, from aprons
00:15:33to head coverings to gloves, in addition to the cleanliness
00:15:37of the place, the cleanliness of the kitchen, and the cleanliness of the tools
00:15:40used to serve customers.
00:15:44You said, Mr. Bassam, a while
00:15:47ago, that you sealed off some restaurants
00:15:50that contained spoiled meat, but as Ahmed
00:15:54Al-Attara said, the foods and reasons
00:15:57varied. Okay, Mr.
00:16:01Bassam, how many inspection tours have you carried
00:16:05out in Deir ez-Zor restaurants during the past period,
00:16:08and if there were violations you detected,
00:16:11please inform us. Of course, we carry out
00:16:15daily tours of restaurants, sir. Dozens
00:16:19of reports have been issued against restaurants, and some
00:16:23of them have been closed due to
00:16:25their possession of spoiled meat or their non-compliance with
00:16:28health conditions regarding cleanliness
00:16:31and wearing healthy clothing. Okay, if the
00:16:35meat was spoiled, it would cause
00:16:38this poisoning. But some cases ate falafel. Where
00:16:41is the defect here?
00:16:44Of course, as Mr. Ahmed mentioned,
00:16:47there is a doubt about the
00:16:51water used to prepare the food. As
00:16:54I mentioned to you, dear sir, samples were taken by
00:16:58the Health Directorate and sent to the Central
00:17:01Laboratory in Damascus and also analyzed
00:17:04in the Health Directorate's laboratory, and the results, God
00:17:07willing, will appear within a maximum of five days to determine
00:17:11the causes of poisoning
00:17:13among patients. Okay. Okay, the restaurants
00:17:17that you sealed off, were these restaurants
00:17:20previously compliant with the conditions
00:17:24when they were granted licenses by you?
00:17:28Of course, licenses are granted by the Deir
00:17:32ez-Zor City Council. Our role is a supervisory
00:17:34role, whether through the Directorate of Internal
00:17:38Trade or through the joint committees formed by the Governor of Deir
00:17:41ez-Zor.
00:17:45Okay, okay, what are the conditions that must be
00:17:48met in restaurants for them to operate before
00:17:52granting licenses? What are these conditions, and what is the mechanism for regular
00:17:55monitoring of these restaurants to ensure
00:17:59their compliance or their adherence to the
00:18:02operating conditions? The issue,
00:18:05of course, the health conditions that must be met are the cleanliness of the place
00:18:09and that the place has ventilation openings and is far from
00:18:13disturbing the citizens.
00:18:16These are
00:18:19the health conditions and requirements that must be met in
00:18:23any restaurant that provides a service to citizens. It must be
00:18:27compliant with them. As for monitoring,
00:18:30it is continuous
00:18:33there is no day without a patrol from the
00:18:38food safety department, one of the departments of consumer
00:18:41protection, which daily monitors
00:18:43restaurants
00:18:46that serve all kinds
00:18:49of grilled meats or popular dishes such as falafel, foul,
00:18:53and hummus. And we in the Directorate of Internal
00:18:56Trade, as soon as any complaint reaches the directorate,
00:18:59a patrol is immediately dispatched to the place
00:19:03of the complaint to address it immediately.
00:19:06Yes. Okay. Okay, since you mentioned the issue of complaints, how
00:19:10can a citizen actually
00:19:13report a restaurant that violates the
00:19:17set conditions? What are the guarantees that ensure quick
00:19:20handling of this
00:19:23complaint, dear sir? We started a while ago,
00:19:27about a month and a half ago, by placing
00:19:30QR stickers on all commercial establishments
00:19:34in Deir ez-Zor governorate, including restaurants.
00:19:38So, any citizen can access the QR
00:19:41code and register their complaint, and the complaint immediately
00:19:44appears to us, and we take legal
00:19:47action if the complaint is justified.
00:19:50Also, we have a website for
00:19:53the Directorate of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection on social
00:19:57media, and complaint numbers for the directorate,
00:20:00or they can come in person with any
00:20:03complaint they wish to submit through the
00:20:06available means.
00:20:10We are ready to respond to it immediately. Okay, I'll go back to you, Ahmed. As Mr. Bassam said,
00:20:14the inspection
00:20:17do not stop. They are conducted regularly
00:20:20as usual in Deir ez-Zor. The main
00:20:24reason has not been identified yet. Nevertheless, spoiled meat
00:20:28and violations of the conditions
00:20:31that granted them the license
00:20:34are seized. Okay, Ahmed, we are talking about more than
00:20:382070 cases of poisoning in Deir ez-Zor.
00:20:41The number is not small. We ask God to grant them a speedy
00:20:44recovery. Is there fear among the people of Deir
00:20:48ez-Zor now
00:20:50sent? Is there fear
00:20:53of restaurant food
00:20:57in Deir ez-Zor? Honestly, during
00:21:01my tour of the city today, most of
00:21:03the restaurants are
00:21:07the cafeterias on the corniche in the corniche area
00:21:11on the Euphrates River. Restaurants are operating fully.
00:21:14Meaning, there is a concern
00:21:17about the issue of prepared
00:21:20meals being a formal or main source of food.
00:21:24And the people generally consider this issue
00:21:27to be, in addition to waste, a lack of chivalry, as
00:21:33should not cook at home and bring ready-made meals, especially
00:21:36since there were families, yes, but there are young people, Ahmed,
00:21:39and students who need these
00:21:43foods. You know the difficult situation, right?
00:21:47Restaurants, restaurants in general,
00:21:52many people at restaurants, and there are crowded
00:21:56restaurants, honestly. What I saw today in the streets of Deir ez-Zor is that there are
00:21:59crowded restaurants, meaning that if there are fears,
00:22:02they are not great. People are reviewing, and the names
00:22:06of the restaurants that caused the poisoning cases or whose
00:22:09names were associated with poisoning have stopped or have been
00:22:13stopped and sealed. And that is what made
00:22:16the issue, according to, according to
00:22:20the residents, here, Ahmed, I want to add an important
00:22:23point. In such cases, a violation
00:22:26is recorded in one restaurant or, at
00:22:30most, two. But here, the situation is different. Different
00:22:33foods completely in more than one
00:22:37restaurant. Therefore, the reason
00:22:40is only two restaurants, yes, two restaurants. You said
00:22:43there are injuries, there are families who ate falafel,
00:22:47meat, yes.
00:22:50And shawarma, and shawarma. All these foods are in
00:22:54two restaurants? All of them are in two restaurants. Oh, okay.
00:22:58All of them are in two restaurants, and they took from these two restaurants.
00:23:02And the other restaurants, of course, there are well-known restaurants in Deir
00:23:05ez-Zor and there was a crowd
00:23:09today, and they were not affected at all by the issue of poisoning
00:23:12or by the poisoning cases. There is also,
00:23:16let's say, supervision or the handling by the Health Directorate
00:23:20and the Directorate of Trade and Consumer Protection of the situation directly
00:23:23since the day before yesterday evening. The great
00:23:26movement and the readiness that was available
00:23:30and the sealing of the shops
00:23:33and the full reception of patients. There is gratitude, meaning
00:23:39I met during my tour of the two hospitals, there is great
00:23:42gratitude for the handling of the visitors, whether in Huweidi
00:23:45Hospital or in the National Hospital. The handling
00:23:49was very good, and the medicines were provided
00:23:53And you focused on this issue that the Health Directorate
00:23:56or the hospital asked you for medicines from outside. Everyone confirmed
00:23:59that they received all their treatments from the hospital
00:24:03for free. Yes, thank you, Ahmed, for all these clarifications. I
00:24:07understood you, meaning more than one meal,
00:24:10you said, it is not possible for these foods to be in one
00:24:14restaurant or one place. We are talking about

00:24:20clarification. We ask God for peace for our people

00:24:57and Minister of State for Defense Affairs of Qatar, Sheikh Saud
00:25:03in the Qatari capital, Doha. A number
00:25:06of files and topics of common
00:25:09interest were discussed. Let's watch, and then
00:25:11we'll return.
00:25:14In the course of Syrian-Qatari relations, defense
00:25:18and security cooperation
00:25:20emerges as one of the files that
00:25:24attention from both sides in light of the transformations
00:25:28witnessed by the region and the challenges
00:25:31it imposes, which require more coordination
00:25:34and exchange of views. In the Qatari capital, Doha,

00:25:52in a meeting that reflects the continued communication between
00:25:56institutions in the two countries. The meeting
00:25:59comes as an extension of previous contacts between
00:26:02the two sides, the last of which was on August 4th,
00:26:06when the two ministers discussed regional and international
00:26:10developments and ways to enhance coordination to serve common
00:26:14interests and support
00:26:17is inseparable from a broader path to developing Syrian-Qatari
00:26:21defense relations, as the Syrian Ministry
00:26:25of Defense previously discussed with the Qatari side
00:26:27prospects for cooperation in the fields
00:26:31of defense and military industries during a meeting

00:26:38Ambassador in Damascus and a delegation from Barzan
00:26:40Holdings, which specializes in defense
00:26:44and security industries. These meetings
00:26:46gain importance in light of Syria's
00:26:50needs to develop its military institutions and rebuild
00:26:53its defense capabilities and benefit from modern
00:26:57expertise and technologies, in addition to enhancing
00:27:00regional cooperation in addressing security challenges
00:27:04and the risks of instability. Between direct
00:27:07contacts and meetings, Damascus and Doha
00:27:10are moving to strengthen defense coordination
00:27:13channels within bilateral relations
00:27:16that are moving towards expanding areas of cooperation
00:27:19in line with the requirements of the new phase in
00:27:23Syria and the challenges
00:27:25of the region.
00:27:29segment from London. I welcome Mr. Samer Khalia,
00:27:33political analyst, and from Aleppo, Brigadier
00:27:36Ziad Haj Obeid, military analyst. Welcome to
00:27:40Syria Time. Perhaps I will start
00:27:43with you, Brigadier General Ziad.
00:27:46So, this meeting is not the first.
00:27:51military and political meeting
00:27:55for the Syrian
00:27:59particular time and the developments
00:28:01the region is experiencing.
00:28:03Greetings to you, greetings to your dear guest,
00:28:06greetings to the dear viewers. In fact, the visit
00:28:10by Major General Morhaf Abu Qasra, the Syrian
00:28:12Defense Minister, to the State of Qatar was for
00:28:15coordination and to unify positions and efforts. We,
00:28:18as the State of Syria today, and the Arab countries, and the Gulf countries
00:28:22in particular, are in dire need,
00:28:26and the friendly countries in the region are in dire need of coordination
00:28:29and cooperation and finding action
00:28:32plans, as the region
00:28:36and warnings of a major war in the region. American
00:28:40fighters and bombers also returned to reposition
00:28:43themselves in Palestine, at Israeli
00:28:46airports, and refueled
00:28:49in Greece, and Turkish aircraft with British aircraft conducted
00:28:53a coordinated and unified exercise in southern
00:28:56Saudi Arabia and may be working for operations in Yemen
00:28:59against the Houthis, and there may be other operations.
00:29:02The region, because the dangerous situation
00:29:06that the Gulf region is going through, especially
00:29:09Iran's intransigence and the hesitant
00:29:14in the Gulf, warns of a coming major
00:29:18war, and we are not isolated from this war, nor are the Gulf
00:29:21countries. Therefore, coordination is essential. This cooperation
00:29:24is externally with Qatar and with other countries. Regarding
00:29:28the internal situation between Qatar and Syria and military coordination,
00:29:32we are in dire need today of cooperation and coordination, and establishing
00:29:35a system of communication and close military cooperation. We need
00:29:39training and modern technological development.
00:29:42In fact, Qatar has made great strides
00:29:45in using advanced military technology,
00:29:48and we were in a time of war, a time of revolution 14
00:29:51years ago. We need cooperation and coordination. We need
00:29:54support with information, with modern
00:29:58technological training to provide the Syrian National Army
00:30:01with modern expertise
00:30:04in order to keep pace with military action in the region and for
00:30:07continuous coordination in case the Syrian Arab Army
00:30:11is asked to carry out a joint battle, whether in the Gulf or
00:30:15inside Syria or in any Arab region in cooperation with
00:30:18Qatar or with Saudi Arabia and friendly countries. Okay, on the other
00:30:22point he is talking about, we are living in a very, very bad situation
00:30:26and provocations and violations from the Israeli side, right? And this
00:30:29situation, we cannot be patient indefinitely,
00:30:33especially since there was talk of Syria
00:30:36entering, meaning Syria's readiness and preparedness
00:30:40perhaps to join the Mecca
00:30:43alliance. Thank you very much. I will come back to you,
00:30:47Brigadier General, but I will go to
00:30:51meeting is not the first, as I mentioned and said a little
00:30:54earlier. The repetition of these meetings between
00:30:57the two sides, does that reflect
