00:01:38Today, we are witnessing the launch ceremony of the project
00:01:42to digitize and automate Syrian companies
00:01:45poles distributed along and agencies, whether local or foreign.
00:01:48Of course, this project represents a very
00:01:51fundamental point for the Syrian
00:01:54government, especially since this project
00:01:57was supported by the American government.
00:02:00The main goal is to attract
00:02:02safety in the late investments in this period, which is after the lifting
00:02:05of sanctions, and to build a healthy environment
00:02:08and an environment that invests and benefits
00:02:11from these investments. Of course, the issue
00:02:14of bureaucracy and paperwork was a very big obstacle
00:02:18for many companies to come and invest
00:02:20in Syria. So this
00:02:23Between a guiding signal on is a fundamental step that made many companies attracted
00:02:26to this step that Syria has taken. Of course, the project
00:02:30comes within the early recovery priorities set by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates.
00:02:34It aims to support digital transformation
00:02:37in the Ministry of Industry, especially the issue of registering companies
00:02:41or branches of foreign companies and agencies.
00:02:44The project aims to provide a data
00:02:46center for the Ministry of Industry
00:02:50and Internal Trade and Consumer Protection. The Ministry will
00:02:54oversee the management and updating of internal
00:02:57systems, systems related to company registration. We will build on
00:03:00existing expertise and the platform that was launched to register
00:03:05should be smarter than the people. The people turned out to be smarter than local companies.
00:03:07There are similar projects. Tomorrow, God willing, we will also
00:03:11launch a similar project in digital
00:03:14transformation with the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment,
00:03:18the organizers of this aiming to archive and digitize the real estate registry in five governorates. Tomorrow, God willing,
00:03:22we will sign the memorandum of understanding and the contract.
00:03:26Of course, today we signed the memorandum of understanding and the executive contract
00:03:30for it. We began the procurement
00:03:33process for the data
00:03:36center, and within the procurement process, it is currently
00:03:39expected that within the next two to three months, we will be
00:03:43able to provide all
00:03:45the equipment.
00:03:48In turn, the Minister of Communications and Information Technology, Abdul Salam
00:03:51Haikal, affirmed that the project to modernize and digitize company
00:03:55registration constitutes an important step in the digital transformation
00:03:59process, considering the company registry as one of the main
00:04:02national registries, alongside civil and real estate
00:04:05registries and vehicle registries, due to its direct link

00:04:30company owners to access services
00:04:33and complete their transactions easily and smoothly,
00:04:36stressing the importance of building on these efforts

00:05:05For example, if a citizen comes to me and says, "I submitted my request, and it hasn't

00:09:16Hotel in Homs city, aiming to develop their legal
00:09:20knowledge and enhance their role in protecting rights

00:09:33for Human Rights, in cooperation with the Bar Association of the Syrian Arab Republic
00:09:36and the Homs Bar Association, is organizing a training workshop.
00:09:40This workshop aims to
00:09:43enhance the protection of human rights in Syria, in addition to
00:09:46transitional justice in Syria. This is very important. It is
00:09:50the struggle waged by activists who documented
00:09:54the regime's violations during the revolution, and it is a continuation
00:09:58of cooperation to enhance the human rights situation
00:10:01in Syria. We commend today the role of the Bar Association of the Syrian
00:10:05Arab Republic for this openness and cooperation with the mechanisms
00:10:08and the Human Rights Council, the High Commissioner for Human
00:10:11Rights. The course will last for
00:10:14three days. The first two days are for a specific group, and

00:10:21a discussion session, and on the 6th and 5th, there will be a second course for
00:10:25others in international law. Of course,
00:10:28since we took over our duties in the Central
00:10:31Bar Association, we have set a plan to develop the profession
00:10:35and elevate it and raise its level. This
00:10:38led us to sign
00:10:42UN organizations, and there was a memorandum
00:10:45of understanding between us and the office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
00:10:48The goal is to raise
00:10:52This training was held in Damascus
00:10:55and Aleppo, and currently we are in Homs governorate.
00:10:58The target audience is a segment of male
00:11:01and female lawyers from Homs city. Of course, the nomination
00:11:05of names for this training is done through
00:11:08the Homs Bar Association Council from the Department of Accountability
00:11:12and Oversight.
00:11:15Hello, work continues on installing lighting units in the streets of
00:11:18Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods in Aleppo city, as
00:11:21the project reaches its final stage, which contributes
00:11:25to improving basic services within residential areas.
00:11:29Let's follow. Work continues on lighting
00:11:32the streets of Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods with solar
00:11:35energy, as the project reaches its final stage,
00:11:39which includes installing
00:11:42equipped poles.
00:11:44We have currently
00:11:46started the final phase of the street lighting project with solar
00:11:50energy. The project, which is being implemented by the Stability
00:11:53Support Unit, in cooperation with Aleppo governorate
00:11:57and the Lighting Department in Aleppo, with the support of the RASHAD
00:12:00program funded by the US State Department. This project aims to
00:12:04install approximately 200
00:12:07solar-powered lighting
00:12:10the main and secondary streets in Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods,
00:12:14covering a distance of approximately 6
00:12:17km. The project aims to enhance
00:12:21security and traffic safety, in addition to
00:12:23enhancing traffic
00:12:27hours of the night.
00:12:30Well, we benefit from this. First, there was no lighting. When there
00:12:34is no lighting in the streets, people are afraid
00:12:37to go out at night after 8:30. After it gets
00:12:41dark, no one can go out of their house. Now it's
00:12:44better.
00:12:47The initiative is good, but it's better to have it in secondary
00:12:51streets. Now there is no lighting at all in secondary streets.
00:12:55For example, in some streets, at 10
00:12:57or 9:30, people go home because it's dark. The main
00:13:01streets are fine, but there should
00:13:04also be lighting in the secondary streets. This has created a sense
00:13:07of safety and stability. For example, at night, one can now go out.
00:13:11Before, we used to go out at night in the dark and turn on the flashlight
00:13:14and walk with it, you know? Now it's better.
00:13:17Now,

00:23:34Welcome to the Syrian Story podcast on Al-Ikhbariya
00:23:37TV.
00:23:40The most painful thing
00:23:43for me was when someone told me to stop the barrel bomb first, then
00:23:47talk to me about freedom. There should have been an interim government,
00:23:51a military council, a judicial council. No one
00:23:55everyone. On the basis of my dead family, they knew I was dead. They held a condolence
00:23:58for me. They came to visit me in Tadmur after 20 years
00:24:01for preparations for the attempted coup against
00:24:04Hafez al-Assad. How did you expose it? Oh, what should we do? I told him, "This
00:24:08is the first time we've met. Read your adhkar." By God, I don't know what we should do. I expected
00:24:12the revolution to come from Hasakah, I mean. I apologize
00:24:16if I am in this episode today, we want to revisit the tragic memories
00:24:21and stories. We wanted to convey the pains

00:25:44where the story begins on Al-Ikhbariya Syrian
00:25:47TV.
00:25:55Because the distance between the street and decision-makers
00:25:58is a wall that hides the truth, we are here,
00:26:05and everywhere that buzzes with questions
00:26:08and problems,
00:26:13to carry the voice
00:26:14of the people,
00:26:20and search for a space for solutions with decision-makers.
00:26:23القرار
00:26:29A link that shortens the distance
00:26:33and bridges the gap, because
00:26:37your voice is the compass.
00:28:07This is a stand for survival and to confirm that we
00:28:10are clinging to this land and will never leave
00:28:13it.
00:28:18The tone
00:28:27to confirm that Syria is one and united,
00:28:30and the Syrian people
00:29:03We are all one people, all Syrian governorates are one, and the Syrian
00:29:06people are one, and we are against Israeli interventions.
00:30:05In light of the fluctuating exchange rate of the Syrian pound against the dollar and rising
00:30:09prices in the market, what is the role played by
00:30:12the relevant ministries to control prices
00:30:15and prevent exploitation in a free
00:30:19and open market? What are
00:30:22from the relevant ministry, and how
00:30:24does all of this reflect on commodity prices? All
00:30:28this and more details in a new episode of the "Connection" program. Welcome.
00:30:46We want to ask you about the issue of prices and controlling them in this market, and in general,
00:30:49your follow-up. By God, it's very
00:30:53expensive. Day by day, week by week, we are all
00:30:56getting higher. I mean.
