00:18:38Dozens of high school students flocked to the examination department
00:18:42in Daraa city to submit their objections to the high school
00:18:46examination results. The center witnessed congestion since the early
00:18:50morning
00:18:50hours.
00:18:56Guys, my total score is 220. They took away ten
00:19:00points from me in science. I get a perfect score in science. They took away ten
00:19:03points from me, and in Arabic, they took away five
00:19:06points. And I also get a perfect score in Arabic.
00:19:09So I don't know how the grading is done. Last year I got good grades,
00:19:12and this year I thought I would get better grades. I took the exams and saw my grades,
00:19:16and I did well, and I should have gotten better grades than this, but I was surprised by these
00:19:19grades. I took the exams and we worked very hard for a whole
00:19:23year of taking
00:19:25lessons, and I studied
00:19:28a lot. No sleep at night, and in the end I found
00:19:31surprising grades, not my grades. So we
00:19:33appeal to His Excellency the Minister of Education
00:19:37to consider these students,
00:19:40because it seems that all of them have
00:19:43been wronged.
00:19:46The examination centers designated
00:19:49students, which led to severe crowding in front of the centers for submitting
00:19:53objection requests. This comes amid efforts by students to review
00:19:56their results and ensure the accuracy of the recorded
00:20:01From 7 AM until now, people haven't moved forward. The security needs to come and send people
00:20:05back and call out names. There are 100 names, and it's useless. We came
00:20:09to submit an objection for my daughter's English grade, which they messed up.
00:20:13So I don't know why the situation is like this. The situation is very chaotic.
00:20:16Very, very chaotic. This is not the way. We are
00:20:20the halls, distribute people to the halls, and distribute the forms in ten minutes. The matter
00:20:25the halls, distribute papers, and people fill out the form in ten
00:20:28minutes. This chaos is not normal. We have been here since seven
00:20:32o'clock and we haven't made
00:20:36for nothing. I passed my baccalaureate and I'm shocked that my physics
00:20:39grade is 370, but they put it as 318.
00:20:43In science, I got 280, but they put it as 232.
00:20:46There's a huge difference in grades. I mean, tomorrow if
00:20:55The residents of Atarib city in the western Aleppo countryside complain about the escalating
00:20:59environmental pollution caused by the random waste dump in the hills area,
00:21:03which has become a source of foul odors and rising smoke
00:21:06due to continuous burning operations, amidst calls
00:21:09to remove the dump and relocate it away from residential
00:21:12areas. On the outskirts of Atarib city in
00:21:16the western Aleppo countryside, the hills area has turned into a pollution
00:21:20hotspot threatening the lives of residents, as
00:21:23the random waste dump has become a daily
00:21:26concern for the locals due to the foul odors
00:21:30and rising smoke resulting from continuous burning
00:21:33operations. It affects us a lot, by God. As for
00:21:37the smoke, it causes shortness of breath for the elderly, and as for
00:21:40the children, it causes them diseases like leishmaniasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis. We can't even
00:21:45hospitals. And as for the road,
00:21:49by God, it's almost always blocked, only one car can
00:21:52pass. We ask the concerned authorities to solve
00:21:58environmental situation has directly affected the lives of
00:22:01residents with a massive spread of flies
00:22:04and insects that have invaded homes, to the point where
00:22:08opening windows has become almost impossible. We have a
00:22:11waste dump next to us, and we are suffering from the diseases
00:22:14it causes, which are leishmaniasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis,
00:22:18and so on.
00:22:20And we are suffering, and there are even balconies, but we can't open
00:22:23the windows because of the smoke that is always there.
00:22:27Smoke, smoke. And we also have these lands
00:22:31to the east, they are badly affected. Plastic bags are always
00:22:34full of them. The danger is not limited to environmental
00:22:38pollution, but rather extends to the health aspect,
00:22:41as residents warn of the spread of leishmaniasis
00:22:44due to the proliferation of insects around
00:22:48the dump, which increases fear for the safety of the residents, especially
00:22:52children.
00:22:55Employees of the Agriculture Department in Ras al-Ain city in rural
00:22:58Hasakah organized a protest due to the non-payment of their
00:23:01salaries for six months, despite their continued work during
00:23:05the agricultural
00:23:06season.
00:23:10It's been a long time since we got paid. It's been three months, six months since I got paid.
00:23:14I just want to ask His Excellency the Minister if he can live without
00:23:18a salary. Where do we get money for our children? The shop owner won't give us credit. If
00:23:22we go to anyone, they turn us away. We need a job to work.
00:23:25We are living on charity. And if
00:23:28our salaries are from charity from the Minister or the Minister of Finance or the Minister of Agriculture, let them give them
00:23:32to us. If it's our right, we want our right. We want our salaries. This is our demand.
00:23:35We are like any other employee here in Syria.
00:23:39Why do they get paid and we in agriculture don't get paid? I mean,
00:23:42the question is, why haven't the salaries for this directorate
00:23:46been paid until now? I mean, for six months.
00:24:00Or the workers who are there, after work, they are street vendors
00:24:04in the markets. So does this please the ministry? If it pleases the ministry, we have no
00:24:08problem. So we ask you to clarify the issue of salaries
00:24:11until when? So, for salaries, we have the majority of employees. Some people can manage,
00:24:15but some people are struggling to even afford
00:24:17bread.
00:24:22The pistachio season is recovering in the town of Tamanah in rural southern
00:24:26Idlib, with farmers returning
00:24:30displacement. Despite the improved quality of this year's
00:24:33crop, the low production and high cost of caring for the trees
00:24:37remain among the biggest challenges facing farmers, at a time
00:24:40when prices have risen in
00:24:42the markets.
00:24:46Five years were not enough to break
00:24:49the bond between Abu Khalid and his pistachio
00:24:52trees. So he returned to them, carrying the hope
00:24:55of a season that would restore some of the orchard's
00:24:58health. Years of absence left
00:25:01their mark on the trees, which were exhausted by neglect
00:25:05and threatened by pests, while
00:25:07other trees disappeared from the area because the
00:25:11pistachio tree is a very sensitive tree and needs a lot
00:25:14of care. After the displacement of five years, the pistachio
00:25:18tree suffered, and
00:25:20the pests became very numerous in it. The pests.
00:25:24And we came back and found it badly damaged.
00:25:28Damaged. In the market of Tamanah,
00:25:32the season's fruits turn into buying and selling activity,
00:25:35and the price of a kilogram reaches about
00:25:384 dollars. Despite the improved quality of
00:25:41pistachios compared to last
00:25:44season, the decrease in the quantities offered led
00:25:48to a rise in their prices. Traders
00:25:51expect a greater improvement in the next season with the return
00:25:55of farmers to cultivate their orchards after
00:25:58years of absence. And with the return of the orchards to service,
00:26:01production opportunities are renewed, and the marketing cycle gradually
00:26:05moves towards foreign markets.
00:26:08It will take a year or two to compensate for the shortage
00:26:12that existed. Of course, the shortage that existed was due to drought,
00:26:15neglect, pruning, spraying, and so
00:26:18on. All of this accumulated
00:26:21impact needs time. The value of
00:26:24the pistachio tree is not limited to its fruit,
00:26:29heating, which gives it additional economic
00:26:33importance. And with its multiple
00:26:35benefits, this tree maintains its
00:26:39status as the green
00:26:41gold in rural southern Idlib, amidst
00:26:45cutting and direct logging, agricultural
00:26:48pests, and high costs.
00:26:51The farmers of Tamanah continue to harvest what remains of their
00:26:55crops, clinging to a tree
00:26:59that formed the backbone of their economy for years. Ibrahim

00:27:05Idlib. The carpet
00:27:08and handmade rug industry in Daraa province faces the threat of extinction
00:27:12after being one of the most prominent traditional crafts for which the Hauran
00:27:15region was famous, amid a decline in the number of workers and a rise
00:27:18in production costs, amidst attempts by craftsmen
00:27:22to preserve this heritage and pass it on to future
00:27:25generations.
00:27:28Weaving rugs and handmade carpets is considered
00:27:31one of the oldest crafts for which Daraa province was famous,
00:27:35as it once included 14 weaving centers
00:27:38and factories. However, this profession
00:27:41declined during the past years due to the war
00:27:45and the high cost of production and competition
00:27:48from industrial products, in addition to the reluctance
00:27:51of young generations to learn it. I learned
00:27:54upholstery first, then carpets, I mean, with my father. We stayed with him,
00:27:58and of course, we stopped for a period
00:28:01due to travel, I mean. Then
00:28:04weaving was in demand here. There were two, three, four families
00:28:08who used to weave with us. But they died, may God have mercy on them,
00:28:11and it died out. The raw materials also disappeared. There is no wool
00:28:15or yarn anymore. Women no longer spin.
00:28:18It used to be that they would spin when there was
00:28:22reality, efforts to preserve this craft
00:28:25continue, while a new generation is working on
00:28:29reintroducing rugs and handmade textiles
00:28:32in a way that keeps pace with modern tastes
00:28:35without compromising their authenticity. We faced many
00:28:39challenges, whether financial, administrative, or in terms of public acceptance. But
00:28:43today, thank God, we are happy with the presence of Southern
00:28:46Rugs on social media and on the ground.
00:28:50We are trying to develop these products so that
00:28:53we can create products that young people will adopt, with the aim of transferring
00:28:57this identity from generation to generation and preserving it.
00:29:01Those working in this profession believe that reviving
00:29:04the carpet and handmade
00:29:08to preserving a cultural heritage, but rather requires
00:29:12support and marketing to ensure its continuity
00:29:16young people to learn it so that
00:29:19it regains its place that Hauran was known
00:29:22for for decades.
