00:00:02It means that the rent payment was not made by the tenant and the landlord,
00:00:06caused by motorcycles occur on but today you pay the rent to
00:00:08the real estate office. It is responsible for taking
00:00:12the rent, and as I mentioned, it is not for one or two months,
00:00:16but sometimes, and often,
00:00:19the payment is annual. This is an economic
00:00:24since there are several demands from and social issue that is linked.
00:00:26This is a problem in itself. Even someone who can afford a monthly rent
00:00:30of a relatively large amount may not be able to afford
00:00:39talk about a real economic recovery let's say, at a time when
00:00:42citizens find it difficult to secure housing, and project owners
00:00:46find it difficult to maintain their homes.
00:00:52also famous for transporting goods on I will go to Aleppo
00:00:54camels to many with a final question to our correspondent there,
00:00:56And Hamed Al-Ali. Hamed, the talk is also about these high rents and their reasons,
00:01:00and the increase in demand compared to
00:01:02the correspondents' tour. The discussion the number of existing buildings or those that are being
00:01:05built. Has the movement of the sales market
00:01:08affected the rental market and led
00:01:11to an increase in prices as well, or is each market
00:01:15separate from the other and has no
00:01:20Many of the Shawaghira effect?
00:01:22Yes, Rama, this matter is directly related to the fact that there are a large
00:01:26number of families outside Syria who have purchased
00:01:29a number of houses and residential apartments and did not
00:01:32rent them out, but rather froze them, which led
00:01:35to the disruption
00:01:38that they will of rents for these residential
00:01:39not be fined or apartments. In contrast, as my colleague
00:01:43Yazan mentioned,
00:01:47should make fun of the people. The people turned out to be smarter than there is also a problem in the real estate offices, which is
00:01:51that the owners of the real estate offices control rents
00:01:55by raising them, especially since payment is made inside the real estate
00:01:58offices. The commission for the office owner is
00:02:02I met the head of the emergency department at one month's rent, as is customary in the region.
00:02:05There is also an increase in house rents after
00:02:09the owner of the residence
00:02:11similar to the sound of fireworks. or the owner of the apartment or commercial shop
00:02:14sets a certain price
00:02:17and asks the property
00:02:20since the roads are not in owner to set the price he wants and takes it for himself. This has also negatively
00:02:24affected rents in
00:02:26the region. There is control, lack
00:02:30of regulation for real estate office owners. This matter
00:02:33falls on the city councils and the governorate so that
00:02:37solutions can be found and rents
00:02:40and rental allowances in the governorate in general
00:02:43and in all
00:03:06Its roots are deeply In our second file, dear viewers,
00:03:08Daraa governorate witnessed more than a thousand traffic accidents
00:03:12in one month, a large percentage of which were related to motorcycles,
00:03:16which is an indicator that reflects the escalation
00:03:19of traffic accident risks and the
00:03:23our stance, whether at human and material losses they cause. These
00:03:26figures highlight the importance of adhering to rules
00:03:30and reducing incorrect traffic behaviors, especially
00:03:34reckless driving and excessive speed.
00:03:44this neighborhood offered many As for these motorcycles,
00:03:48they are causing annoyance to citizens day
00:03:50and night, and no one is adhering to the rules or doing
00:03:55Tartous Governorate, especially on their work. Most of them are using them for playing and going
00:03:58back and forth. No one, as they say,
00:04:04of motorcycles cares about anyone. He passes by you as if he doesn't care about you or anyone
00:04:08else. This phenomenon must be combated.
00:04:10As for motorcycles, there are people who use them for
00:04:14work, for going back and forth, meaning they are disciplined. But most people are not disciplined.
00:04:17And there are people who don't care about anyone
00:04:29than 300 traffic accident cases
00:04:33in October 2026. Most of these accidents were
00:04:36motorcycle accidents due to non-compliance with safety rules
00:04:40and reckless driving within populated
00:04:43and crowded areas.
00:04:47In Daraa Traffic Branch, the accident statistics
00:04:51from the beginning of the year until
00:04:53the use of motorcycles is no now reached 898 traffic accidents. Most
00:04:57of these accidents resulted in injuries
00:05:01and material damage, unfortunately leaving
00:05:03about 515 injuries
00:05:07and 92 deaths. Also, 60% of the accidents
00:05:10were due to motorcycles, which claimed most
00:05:13of the lives and caused injuries.
00:05:17And we, in the Traffic Branch, always,
00:05:20under the directives of the Security Commander and the implementation of the
00:05:24Governor's decision, spare no effort in following
00:05:28up on traffic conditions and seizing violating motorcycles. The number
00:05:31of motorcycles impounded in our impound
00:05:34lot reached 282 motorcycles
00:05:37for various
00:05:39violations.
00:05:44So, a sentence said by one of the people who appeared in the report, dear viewers, is that whoever
00:05:48causes these accidents doesn't care about himself or others, and this is
00:05:52one of the main reasons for traffic accidents
00:05:55resulting from the excessive use
00:05:58of motorcycles, whether in cities
00:06:02or even in rural areas. To talk more about this file,
00:06:06dear viewers, we are joined first from Tartous by Al-Ekhbariya correspondent
00:06:09Yumma Khaddam. Welcome, Yumma, to
00:06:15about traffic accidents that occur
00:06:18daily never ends, and the main cause of them, primarily,
00:06:22is reckless driving or, as it is said in common parlance,
00:06:25due to the misuse of motorcycles. How is the situation in Tartous
00:06:29and its countryside?
00:06:36Yes, Rama, at the beginning of my speech, I would like to point out
00:06:40that there is a large category of people who own motorcycles
00:06:44as a means of transportation, especially with the high
00:06:48cost of cars and the difficulty of acquiring them, or as a means
00:06:51of work and earning income, especially with the difficulty of finding
00:06:54a job at this time. However, there is a large category
00:06:58of teenagers and young people who drive
00:07:01motorcycles recklessly and may
00:07:04pose a great danger, a great danger to
00:07:08their lives or to the lives of pedestrians. In addition,
00:07:11there are also those who make modifications to what
00:07:14is called the exhaust to make the motorcycle
00:07:18emit an annoying
00:07:21noise
00:07:24We hear this sound a lot, especially in the evening
00:07:27and at night. It could be in celebratory convoys or
00:07:31a wedding convoy or even without a convoy,
00:07:35but this causes panic among children
00:07:38and anxiety and stress among families.
00:07:42In addition to that, the acrobatic movements and the issue
00:07:46of reckless driving that we see a lot here
00:07:49in Tartous Governorate, whether in cities or rural areas. However,
00:07:54on the international highway and on main roads
00:07:57and at the peak of congestion.
00:08:01In addition, there is also the overtaking of cars to the right
00:08:04and left in a reckless and irrational
00:08:08manner. This poses
00:08:11families. If the motorcycle rider does not care about his life,
00:08:15then the matter is very dangerous. Yes, Yumma, are there any steps
00:08:18taken by Tartous Governorate to curb this
00:08:20phenomenon?
00:08:26Yes, Rama, frankly, the Traffic Branch here in Tartous Governorate
00:08:30continues to publish awareness posts on social
00:08:33media platforms, and there are also campaigns
00:08:36from time to time, but these campaigns are on a small
00:08:40scale, targeting unlicensed motorcycles
00:08:44or reckless driving. However,
00:08:47these campaigns
00:08:50are not widespread or available in all areas. In addition,
00:08:53according to what the concerned authorities told us, there will be a major
00:08:57campaign in the coming period against motorcycles,
00:09:01specifically against these dangerous stunts performed by
00:09:04motorcycle riders in
00:09:08the corniche and in crowded
00:09:11areas. As I mentioned, we have a huge number
00:09:16here in Tartous Governorate. However, there are
00:09:19two categories: one category owns these motorcycles as a means of transportation
00:09:23or work, and another category, mostly teenagers,
00:09:26and those under 18,
00:09:30who ride these motorcycles. We might even
00:09:33see a motorcycle or a motorcycle rider
00:09:36driving against traffic,
00:09:40against the flow of
00:09:42traffic. This causes accidents, and here in
00:09:46Tartous Governorate, we hear about a motorcycle accident
00:09:49almost every now and then, which results in injuries
00:09:52and deaths for young people and teenagers. Yes, I will go
00:09:55to Deir Ezzor and our correspondent Ahmed Al-Atra, who has joined us now, and also
00:09:59in Idlib, our correspondent Mohammed Aslan has joined us. Ahmed Al-Atra,
00:10:03the situation in Deir Ezzor regarding
00:10:06different from any other governorate in Syria. The spread
00:10:09of motorcycles and their use there
00:10:12are causing many accidents. How does Deir Ezzor Governorate
00:10:15deal with traffic accidents in general
00:10:18and accidents resulting from the use of motorcycles in particular?
00:10:22Great efforts.
00:10:28And the traffic branch in Deir Ezzor in general to curb this phenomenon,
00:10:32especially among teenagers. These efforts, of course,
00:10:36face the reality that there are those
00:10:39who work with these motorcycles, there are those who
00:10:42earn their living from these motorcycles, and they use these motorcycles for transportation
00:10:46due to the high prices of fuel for cars or
00:10:50their inability to own a car. Of course, these efforts
00:10:53are represented by the issue of. The first issue is the guidance issue. Of course,
00:10:57traffic officers in general at the city's roundabouts
00:11:00guide drivers to
00:11:04slow down. But if there
00:11:07is any violation in the matter of
00:11:11changing the specifications of the exhaust or the muffler of
00:11:14the motorcycle, the police officer impounds
00:11:17this motorcycle directly.
00:11:21this matter is known to all residents of Deir Ezzor, especially in
00:11:25the street or the main streets, especially in Siam Fouad Street,
00:11:28the market street or the largest commercial market in
00:11:32this city. As for patrols in general, there are
00:11:35patrols at the city entrances, there are patrols also in
00:11:38the heart of the city to impound motorcycles
00:11:41that make noise and disturb residents, especially
00:11:45those who have changed the specifications of these
00:11:49motorcycles. Other efforts also
00:11:52from the Directorate of Transport. The Directorate of Transport has started licensing
00:11:56or issuing special papers and special
00:11:58license plates for motorcycles so that their owners can be sure
00:12:04impounded due to the lack of papers and a license plate
00:12:08for this motorcycle. This will limit
00:12:12the issue of reckless driving or
00:12:15using the motorcycle for purposes other than its usual use to disturb
00:12:18people. The third effort is by the Directorate of Health.
00:12:22The Directorate of Health, of course, since
00:12:27the national hospital, she confirmed that there are more than 20 injuries daily
00:12:31as a result of motorcycle accidents. These
00:12:34days, these accidents have decreased, but they have not ended.
00:12:38Permanently, the issue of excessive speed, away from the issue of noise,
00:12:42excessive speed on the roads, especially
00:12:45a condition that qualifies them to accommodate
00:12:48high speeds, especially for motorcycles. Yes,
00:12:51okay, I'll go to our correspondent
00:12:56Mohammed. Ahmed and Yumma spoke in Deir Ezzor and Tartous about some
00:12:59deterrent penalties for those who misuse motorcycles.
00:13:03Do the residents of Idlib see these penalties
00:13:07as sufficient to deter such behaviors, or
00:13:11do they believe that there might be harsher penalties
00:13:14that would end this state of chaos in the use of motorcycles?
00:13:17Yes, Rama, the residents here,
00:13:22whatever the penalty,
00:13:26it is not enough, especially for motorcycle owners.
00:13:29Let the numbers speak for a moment.
00:13:32Since the beginning of the current year until the end of last September,
00:13:35according to the Directorate of Emergency and Disaster Management here in
00:13:39Idlib Governorate, more than
00:13:42948 traffic accidents
00:13:46were recorded, resulting in more than
00:13:48139
00:13:51injuries, including 216
00:13:55children. Also, 48 deaths were recorded, including
00:13:5911 children. Most
00:14:01of these accidents or injuries were
00:14:05due to motorcycles. Today, motorcycles
00:14:08account for 60 or
00:14:1170% of accidents across
00:14:15the governorate, according to the concerned authorities.
00:14:17Therefore, any action
00:14:21or measure taken by the concerned authorities, according to the residents,
00:14:25is very little against motorcycles
00:14:28and motorcycle owners. In some Syrian governorates,
00:14:32such as Aleppo or Damascus or Raqqa governorate,
00:14:36the concerned authorities banned the entry of motorcycles
00:14:38into major city centers to avoid
00:14:42these accidents and to avoid the congestion occurring
00:14:46in the centers of these cities.
00:14:50The residents, motorcycles have truly
00:14:52or frankly become a nuisance for residents
00:14:56because primarily
00:15:00of traffic accidents that are recorded
00:15:03almost daily throughout Idlib governorate, and
00:15:07among their main causes are motorcycles. In addition,
00:15:10there are many reckless young men
00:15:13who are truly reckless in this regard.
00:15:17They perform reckless driving and excessive
00:15:20speeding, or outside the normal scope,
00:15:23and this speeding occurs on major
00:15:26roads leading to villages, cities,
00:15:29and towns. Lack of knowledge of
00:15:33traffic rules or road rules in
00:15:36these villages and towns. And especially most traffic
00:15:40accidents that are recorded and are
00:15:43main roads such as the international roads M4
00:15:47and M5, Aleppo-Damascus and Aleppo-Latakia.
00:15:51These roads are usually crowded most of the time,
00:15:54and motorcycles are a burden on these
00:15:58roads, especially
00:16:01residents for openings between
00:16:04the roads, demanding the concerned authorities to close
00:16:08these openings leading to
00:16:11the villages and towns that are located on
00:16:15near these main roads to reduce
00:16:19these accidents, and primarily
00:16:22to confiscate any motorcycle that causes disturbance or reckless driving.
00:16:26Even its sound, we hear in the background
00:16:29of all calls from our correspondents, whether
00:16:32from you, Mohammed, in Idlib, or in Deir Ezzor, or in Tartous, or any
00:16:36other governorate, the sounds of motorcycles are always present in
00:17:52In fact, we welcome the President and the accompanying delegation, and this
00:17:55confirms the strength and solidity of the relationship between
00:17:59Iraq and Syria, and God willing, this will be a good
00:18:02start for future and strategic projects, God
00:18:06willing.
00:18:11The two countries are linked by very strong historical relations. There are also economic
00:18:15ties.
00:18:24We are very happy, by God, with this
00:18:27warm reception. We see your hearts
00:18:30welcomed us before your eyes. Geography says
00:18:34the neighbor is the closest home, but wisdom
00:18:37says the closest blood, and God willing, the blood of Iraq and the blood
00:18:41of Syria is one blood, and perhaps our blood has increased
00:18:45because we are one blood, and we are with
00:18:49you, God willing, one people living in two countries, and we want
00:18:52to revive our history. We want to restore economic
00:18:55cooperation, political cooperation, unite
00:19:00the Arab level or the Islamic world level.
00:19:03Your security is our security,
00:19:06and vice versa. And God willing,
00:19:09we will soon await your arrival
00:19:13to grace us in your second country, and you will be
00:19:17the hosts, and we will be the guests. God
00:19:19bless you.
00:19:24It is very important that we take advantage of your presence today
00:19:27in your second country, Damascus, so that
00:19:30we can start charting a path that, God willing, will be long
00:19:33and sustainable.
00:20:54Today, we began one of the most important tasks in the project of building and rehabilitating
00:20:58the political system.
00:21:27Today is a literal translation of the real
00:21:30beginning of a project that was agreed upon with the European
00:21:33Union
00:21:39in order to work on implementing this system
00:21:43and this system related to reducing disaster
00:21:46risks.
00:22:03We will have a clear map
00:22:07of mines in Syria and contaminated
00:22:09areas.
00:22:16Welcome to the Syrian Story podcast on Syrian Al-Ekhbariya TV.
00:22:23The most painful thing
00:22:25for me was when someone told me, "Stop the barrel bombs, then talk to me
00:22:29about freedom." There should have been a transitional government, a military
00:22:33council, a judicial council. No one
00:22:37the word. On the basis that my family knew I was dead and held a condolence
00:22:40for me. They came to visit me to bully me after 20
00:22:43years to prepare for the attempted coup against
00:22:47Hafez al-Assad. How was it discovered? Oh, what should I do?
00:22:56I apologize if in this episode today
00:23:00we are going to relive the tragic
00:23:02memories. We wanted to reach
00:23:06the Syrians' pain, their dreams, their ambitions through
