00:09:37began in the Damascus countryside with the opening of a civil defense unit
00:09:40for rubble recycling in the city of Daraya, aiming
00:09:43to process about 30 thousand cubic meters of reusable
00:09:47rubble and transform it
00:09:50into basic building materials, in addition to producing

00:18:14working hours by one additional hour aims to provide
00:18:17more time for completing work and improving coordination, as
00:18:21the increase is accompanied by the development of management methods and the simplification
00:18:24of procedures, and does not necessarily mean weak employee

00:19:00include institutions and public units that undertake governmental,

00:19:35breaks, and vacations are subject to existing legislation,

00:19:42status of the additional hour and whether it falls within the approved official working
00:19:46hours or requires special treatment in some
00:19:49entities, noting that it is necessary to ensure the organization

00:19:56Regarding special cases, the General Secretariat clarified
00:19:59that effective management requires taking into account the different

00:20:06those with health conditions and responsibilities for caring

00:22:58the case to the 17th of November 2026.
00:23:01These sessions come within
00:23:05a series of judicial movements witnessed in Damascus, as the court
00:23:08held eight public sessions that also included
00:23:12the start of the trial of Tariq Nabat, former Assistant Chief
00:23:15Military Prosecutor, on charges related to involvement in premeditated
00:23:18murder and torture leading to death and enforced
00:23:22disappearance, in addition to war crimes and crimes against
00:23:25humanity according to the indictment. These files remain
00:23:28open before the judiciary awaiting
00:23:32the completion of trial procedures, hearing witnesses,
00:23:35and determining responsibilities according to evidence
00:23:39and law.
00:23:43In line with its direction towards digital transformation and simplification of
00:23:46judicial procedures, the Ministry of Justice adopted the electronic
00:23:50notification system in the Palace of Justice to largely
00:23:53replace paper notifications by sending judicial
00:23:56notifications to relevant parties via text messages
00:24:00and email, which contributes to saving time and
00:24:03accelerating the progress of lawsuits and judicial
00:24:05procedures.
00:24:15Circular No. 22 was issued by the Minister
00:24:18of Justice and a decision by the General Assembly of the Court of Cassation
00:24:22with number nine regarding digital transformation and electronic
00:24:25notification. We, by the grace of Allah Almighty, in the judiciary
00:24:29of Aleppo, after receiving the necessary technical devices,
00:24:34decision or the circular issued by the Minister
00:24:37of Justice, as we have, in less than a month,
00:24:41in a period of 20 days,
00:24:44notified approximately 1,000 memorandums,
00:24:47and this number is considered a great
00:24:50achievement for the Aleppo judiciary,
00:24:53in this matter. Electronic notification
00:24:57is not just an administrative procedure or a
00:25:00judicial novelty, but rather a real administrative
00:25:04and legislative revolution that re-engineers the relationship between the judicial
00:25:08system and the citizen. Electronic notification leads to
00:25:11accelerating procedures, leads to closing the doors
00:25:15of corruption, leads to facilitating the delivery of notifications
00:25:19to citizens and facilitating their access to their rights
00:25:21and bringing forward the dates
00:25:24of sessions, and thus facilitating the citizen's access to their rights
00:25:28and closing the doors of corruption, as
00:25:31we said, and speeding up the resolution
00:25:34of lawsuits.
00:25:37Electronic notification makes it easy for us to reduce lawsuits
00:25:40in courts. A person comes and fills out a form.
00:25:44This form relieves us of the need for the notification to arrive, as it will be sent via
00:25:48the phone that is approved for them.
00:25:50And it reduces our lawsuits a lot here. It reduces our problems
00:25:54with people, and there is no longer any contact or friction with them.
00:25:57So,
00:26:01the phone, a transformation that shortens distance and time
00:26:04and opens a faster and more efficient path
00:26:08for the judiciary. Mohammed Qambari, Syrian News,

00:26:23The Ministry of Education offered condolences to the
00:26:26family of a student who passed away at Abu Rasin
00:26:29Elementary School in Al-Hasakah.
00:26:33According to the Ministry's statement, one of the students
00:26:36brought from outside the school an object from war
00:26:39remnants without realizing its danger, which led
00:26:42to the object exploding and the death of a student and the injury of several students
00:26:46and teachers.

00:26:52Another mine explosion also killed two soldiers from the Syrian Arab
00:26:56Army in Rural Daraa at a time when civil defense
00:26:59teams and army teams continue their work to remove
00:27:03mines from the destroyed
00:27:04areas.
00:27:07Two years after the fall of the former regime,
00:27:11mines, ammunition, and unexploded
00:27:14ordnance that
00:27:17claim the lives of civilians
00:27:19and military personnel alike. In a new
00:27:23toll, mines killed a child and injured
00:27:26others after a mine from war remnants
00:27:30exploded inside a school in Abu Rasin
00:27:33in Rural Al-Hasakah. It also killed
00:27:37two soldiers from the Syrian Arab Army after a mine
00:27:40from unexploded remnants exploded in Rural
00:27:43Daraa. The tragedies caused by the remnants
00:27:46highlight the magnitude of the burden placed
00:27:50on the Syrian government to remove these
00:27:53remnants and once again show the dangers
00:27:55that threaten the lives of civilians,
00:27:59as civil defense teams affiliated
00:28:02with the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management continue
00:28:05their work across Syria to detect
00:28:09and remove mines and war remnants
00:28:12before civilians reach them,
00:28:15especially in the destroyed areas. In
00:28:18Hama, teams from the Directorate of Emergency
00:28:22and Disaster Management in the governorate carried
00:28:26surveys in several villages as part
00:28:30of the project
00:28:32implemented by the Ministry to provide a safe working
00:28:36environment for the teams and ensure the safety
00:28:40of workers and residents. The surveys
00:28:43resulted in the discovery
00:28:46unexploded ordnance that was handled
00:28:49in a way that minimizes the risk.
00:28:52the dangers that threaten the safety of the residents
00:28:57the region. The civil defense teams also continued
00:29:01their work during the rubble removal project in
00:29:04the city of Maarat al-Nu'man south of Idlib,
00:29:08in order to contribute to the return of residents and push
00:29:12the wheel of recovery and enable humanitarian access.
00:29:16The works carried out by the engineering teams
00:29:20of the army in parallel with the civil defense teams since
00:29:23the beginning of the liberation of the lands
00:29:26and neighborhoods from the remnants come
00:29:29within the vision of the Syrian government to a recovered
00:29:33and safe future for the residents
00:29:36during which they can return to their homes
00:29:40safely and in which all the destruction caused by
00:29:43the defunct military regime
00:29:47will be restored.
00:29:59The convoys of displaced people from Ras al-Ain continue to leave the camps in the countryside of
00:30:03Al-Hasakah, where the second batch of the seventh convoy
00:30:06departed, including 470 families
00:30:09of displaced people from Al-Talaa camp
00:30:11and Shawkani.
00:30:17By God, today, thank God, we are returning. We are happy and joyful to return to our families
00:30:21and our country. We thank all
00:30:25the organizations that contributed to our care, and we are happy, thank
00:30:28God, to return, and we thank all
00:30:31the organizations that stood by us and contributed to our return. I am Suwail
00:30:35Arif Youssef from Qatouna village, close to
00:30:38Ras al-Ain, only 5 km away
00:30:41from it. The whole road is Kurdish, meaning the only
00:30:45half is all Kurdish. We want to return
00:30:48to our homes and secure our lives. We have been displaced for eight years, meaning we want to
00:30:52sort out our affairs,
00:30:52meaning
00:30:57our homes are destroyed on the ground, by God.
