00:00:35headlines.
00:00:39The Grain Corporation announces achieving
00:00:42were in production this self-sufficiency in wheat in Syria for the first time in years, and states that annual
00:00:46needs are estimated at about two and a half million

00:01:08The head of the Sharia congratulates the people of Deir Ezzor on the opening of the airport and says that
00:01:12the government is working on implementing a reconstruction plan in the eastern
00:01:17giving, region. Al-Shaibani visits Ankara today
00:01:21to meet his counterpart Hakam Fidan, and Turkish sources
00:01:24talk about anticipated discussions on security files
00:01:28and coordination between the two countries.
00:01:38Welcome to the details. The Syrian Grain Corporation announced
00:01:41that the country has achieved self-sufficiency in
00:01:44a two-way road. We worked last wheat for the first time in years after the quantities
00:01:47studying this delivered from this season's crop exceeded its annual
00:01:50needs. SANA news agency quoted the Deputy Director General of the Corporation,
00:01:53Ahmed Kadoun,
00:01:56Examination departments in Latakia as saying that the total
00:01:57witnessed a wide turnout from quantities of wheat received in various governorates
00:02:00have reached so far two million and 700 thousand tons.
00:02:03Kadoun added that
00:02:06be very delayed the received quantities exceeded Syria's annual need for wheat, which is
00:02:10two million and 550
00:02:13thousand tons, which reflects the country's achievement of self-sufficiency in the crop.
00:02:17they registered about 100 names,
00:02:34matter in the economic let people into the halls. Let I welcome my guest, Mustafa the form in ten minutes, the issue
00:02:37Al-Sayed, the economic expert, with me from Berlin. Welcome, Mr.
00:02:40Mustafa. To what extent can the announcement of achieving self-sufficiency in wheat
00:02:45People are just standing be considered a turning point in the Syrian economy?
00:02:48It is a
00:02:51real
00:02:53and effective
00:02:56sign that has occurred in the recovery of the
00:03:00wheat farming sector in Syria, as
00:03:03Airport for the first international Syria, since the beginning of the Syrian revolution
00:03:06and the aggression launched by the former Syrian regime
00:03:10against the Syrian people, has entered
00:03:14into several stages of
00:03:18a shortage of wheat
00:03:21needs.
00:03:23Production in Syria
00:03:25has decreased from 4.9
00:03:28million tons
00:03:31annually
00:03:33until it reached last year
00:03:36the lowest level we have
00:03:39seen, meaning less than half the quantity produced this year
00:03:44coordination in this was produced last year, or even slightly less than half
00:03:47the quantity. Therefore, Syria has now entered
00:03:50the stage of self-sufficiency
00:03:54in its wheat needs, in addition
00:03:58to having now a greater ability to
00:04:01store to achieve strategic
00:04:05security in the matter of wheat.
00:04:08That is, there is,
00:04:11according to the quantities received
00:04:13until
00:04:16effects that occur on yesterday, about 15,000
00:04:19tons in surplus of
00:04:22local needs,
00:04:25control and I believe that the number is slightly
00:04:28visited Syria on July 7th and affirmed higher than that.
00:04:33to service after years of
00:04:36exceeds the annual needs, as
00:04:39per the latest information.
00:04:41In a direct way,
00:04:44this quantity that was produced
00:04:48and delivered to the Grain Corporation saved Syria
00:04:51about 550 million
00:04:54We commend Syria and Iraq for dollars in foreign
00:04:56and movement and shortens currency. Therefore, this represents
00:04:59a matter that brings comfort to the Central
00:05:02Bank, to the Ministry of Finance, to the Ministry of Economy,
00:05:06and to the economic planner in Syria
00:05:09because it managed to save
00:05:12approximately 550 million
00:05:15dollars in foreign currency that used to be spent on
00:05:19importing wheat to secure the flour
00:05:23needs of the Syrian people. So, the strategic
00:05:26food security for Syrians
00:05:29for this year can be said,
00:05:32and with all praise and thanks to God Almighty, that it has been
00:05:35achieved thanks to
00:05:39the heavy rains or the rainy season that
00:05:43this year witnessed, as the
00:05:47area of
00:05:49rainfed
00:05:52lands that
00:05:54year is more than
00:05:58irrigated lands by about 200,000
00:06:01hectares today. What is the size of the savings that the general
00:06:05treasury can achieve, of course, as a result of reducing the wheat import
00:06:09bill in general?
00:06:12The first issue, I mean, the issue of providing
00:06:16foreign currency, is far more important
00:06:18than
00:06:20the issue of the lira. The issue of the lira,
00:06:24I mean, the method that the Grain Corporation
00:06:27used to pay farmers' dues
00:06:31quickly
00:06:33made this monetary mass directly
00:06:36available to farmers, and therefore
00:06:40this will create a complete
00:06:44economic cycle in Syria now
00:06:47as the farmer in
00:06:50Syria,
00:06:52or the wheat farmer, has regained his productive
00:06:56capacity, in addition to
00:06:58the
00:07:00credit he used in the farming
00:07:04process being repaid quickly through the use
00:07:08of good software.
00:07:12The disbursement operations were relatively efficient,
00:07:16and they used to
00:07:19in previous years. In addition,
00:07:22the delivery operations, generally
00:07:26speaking, there was a relative satisfaction
00:07:29at its highest
00:07:31level regarding
00:07:34the issue of corruption in delivery operations,
00:07:37as any cases of corruption
00:07:40were reported and dealt with directly,
00:07:44which is a positive
00:07:46situation in Syria,
00:07:50as Syria has now entered
00:07:53a stage of
00:07:56reducing the scope of corruption in Syria,
00:07:59and this is one of the most
00:08:03important incentives for the Syrian economy:
00:08:06reducing the scope of corruption. Yes, also,
00:08:09speaking of the Syrian lira, as you mentioned today,
00:08:13can this improvement, in one way or another, reflect on the exchange
00:08:17rate of the Syrian lira, even indirectly?
00:08:20Absolutely, absolutely, I mean, if
00:08:23there were no political
00:08:25speculators in the Syrian lira, it is expected that
00:08:29the Syrian lira at
00:08:32this level should move
00:08:36well in price against the dollar, because
00:08:39you have practically saved a large
00:08:42amount of foreign currency that the balance
00:08:46of payments needed.
00:08:49Therefore, we are seeing that
00:08:53when there is a political predicament or an economic
00:08:56predicament, the value of the lira falls,
00:09:00but when we notice that there is
00:09:03a positive event or a high production process
00:09:07like this process,
00:09:09we do not see a positive impact.
00:09:12The lira, as it should, and this means
00:09:16that the Central Bank and the government,
00:09:20and the Syrian government as a whole, must
00:09:23re-examine the
00:09:28the lira, especially after the completion of currency
00:09:32exchange operations, as the Syrian Central Bank can
00:09:35now better the cash
00:09:39liquidity in the market
00:09:42and the Central Bank has become more capable
00:09:46of estimating the amounts of currency

00:26:50department in Daraa city to submit their objections to the examination results for the secondary

00:26:58morning hours.
00:27:05Guys, my total is 220, and I lost ten
00:27:08marks in science. I get full marks in science, and I lost ten
00:27:11marks in Arabic. I lost five
00:27:14marks, and I get full marks in Arabic as well.
00:27:18I don't know how the grading is done. Last year I got good marks,
00:27:21and this year I repeated to get better marks. I submitted and saw my marks
00:27:25that I did well, meaning I should have gotten better than this, but I was surprised
00:27:28by these marks. I mean, I submitted marks, and we worked very hard for them for a whole
00:27:31year. From giving
00:27:34lessons and I worked
00:27:36very hard, no sleep at night, and in the end I found
00:27:39my marks were surprising. So we
00:27:42appeal to His Excellency the Minister of Education
00:27:45to consider these students, because
00:27:49it doesn't appear otherwise that all of them
00:27:52have been wronged.
00:28:00students, leading to severe overcrowding in front of the objection
00:28:03application centers. This comes amidst students' attempts
00:28:07to review their results and ensure the accuracy of the recorded
00:28:10marks.
00:28:13Since seven o'clock, people have not submitted anything, everyone is turning back. Those who come must
00:28:16let people back in and by God,
00:28:20and it's useless. I came to submit an objection for my daughter's English
00:28:23mark, we were struggling with it, so I don't know why the situation
00:28:27is so chaotic, very, very chaotic, not like this. We are in front of a school,
00:28:33them distribute people to the halls and distribute
00:28:36ends. They let people into the halls and distribute papers, and people fill out the form in
00:28:4010 minutes. This chaos is not normal. We've been here since
00:28:437 o'clock and haven't submitted anything.
00:28:47around for nothing. As a baccalaureate student, I am shocked by my
00:28:51physics mark, it should be 370, but they put it as 318.
00:28:55In science, I got 232, and I actually got
00:28:58280. A huge difference in marks. I mean, if I don't submit tomorrow...
00:29:07Residents of Atareb city in the western Aleppo countryside
00:29:11complain about the worsening environmental pollution caused by the random
00:29:14waste dump in the Hill area, which has become
00:29:18a source of foul odors and rising smoke due to continuous
00:29:22burning, with demands to remove the dump and move it away from residential
00:29:25areas. On the outskirts of Atareb city in the western
00:29:29Aleppo countryside, the hill area has become a pollution

00:29:36waste dump became a daily source of concern
00:29:40for residents due to foul odors
00:29:43and rising smoke resulting
00:29:45from continuous burning. It affects us
00:29:49a lot, by God, regarding the smoke, especially for the elderly, causing them shortness
00:29:52of breath, and regarding the diseases it causes,
00:29:56some chronic diseases. One person per year. We take our children to
00:29:59hospitals.
00:30:02And as for the road in winter, by God, it almost closes completely, only one
00:30:05car can pass. We appeal to the concerned authorities
00:30:09to solve this problem. This environmental
00:30:12reality has directly affected the lives
00:30:15of residents, with a dense spread of flies and insects
00:30:18that have invaded homes, to the point where
00:30:21opening windows has become almost impossible. We have
00:30:25a waste dump next to us, and we are suffering from
00:30:27the problem of infectious diseases, which are
00:30:30leishmaniasis and oriental sore.
00:30:33This is harmful, and we even have parking in the wilderness, but we can't open
00:30:37the windows because of the constant smoke, smoke,
00:30:41and we also have these lands to the
00:30:44east of it, which are suffering great damage. Plastic bags are always
00:30:48full. The danger is not limited to environmental
00:30:51pollution, but extends to the health
00:30:54aspect, as residents warn of the spread
00:30:58of leishmaniasis as a result.
