00:00:00The government, of course, suspending workers does not Al-Shaibani to Ankara necessarily the talks
00:00:03mean proving the accusation against them, Kalın. And between them. and his meeting we discuss with his Turkish counterpart and with the head of intelligence, Ibrahim but rather they are suspended
00:00:06for a period of time until the necessary investigations
00:00:10are conducted with them to reveal whether
00:00:13their involvement in these operations
00:00:17has been proven or not. Of course, today,
00:00:19until the start according to what the Minister of Finance announced, 34
00:00:22workers were suspended, 24
00:00:25of whom are workers or
00:00:27time when the occupation employees in various governorates, namely Damascus and Aleppo,
00:00:30and 10 of them are from the Real Estate Bank. Of course,
00:00:34this came in conjunction with or on the background of the uncovering of
00:00:37a corruption operation in the Real Estate Bank dating back to
00:00:41town in southern Lebanon, 2021, where it resulted
00:00:44in financial damages estimated at more than 800
00:00:47million dollars, in addition to a
00:00:51sum in Syrian Pounds. And
00:00:54following this discovery,
00:00:57grid in Saraqib after ten employees were suspended until they are
00:01:00investigated and it is revealed
00:01:03later whether there was or if their involvement in these
00:01:06operations was proven or not. Of course, according to the statements
00:01:09of the Ministry of Finance, it also continues these campaigns, and also
00:01:13that it will, it will
00:01:15be revealed later
00:01:19to the Dahiyeh and the results of the investigation, and also it is expected that during the coming months
00:01:23there will also be similar operations until, according to what the Minister of Finance previously said,
00:01:26state institutions are financially
00:01:30free of corruption, and also the follow-up and prosecution
00:01:33of previous corruption that occurred in government financial institutions.
00:01:37Yes, thank you very much,
00:01:43Israel, which are not about these stations Marit Obeid, our correspondent from Damascus, for these details. The Syrian Grain Establishment announced
00:01:46that Syria has reached self-sufficiency in wheat production, with
00:01:50quantities received this year reaching two
00:01:53million and 700 thousand tons of the country's annual
00:01:57needs.
00:02:01education, life, Syria achieves self-sufficiency
00:02:03with accurate in wheat for the first time since the war and drought
00:02:06waves, after the quantities received reached about
00:02:10two million and 700 thousand tons, exceeding
00:02:13the country's annual need of more
00:02:17than two and a half million tons, according to the Syrian Grain
00:02:20Establishment. Syria's
00:02:23by your house; you need achievement of self-sufficiency
00:02:24and towns in the devastated is considered an achievement after a period of relative recovery of the agricultural
00:02:27sector, following years of decline in
00:02:31local production and the country's reliance on
00:02:34Netanyahu, who are imports to secure
00:02:38and Khan Sheikhoun. its wheat needs, in a move
00:02:39Many villages in these areas that would support the stability of
00:02:41do not benefit from electricity, flour and bread supplies. The Syrian Grain Establishment confirmed that there is no final
00:02:46of a new war deadline for closing reception centers, as
00:02:48quantities continue to arrive from farmers,
00:02:52noting that most centers have actually stopped
00:02:55operating after receiving marketable quantities within
00:02:58للتسويق ضمن.
00:03:01its geographical area. Hasakah Governorate topped production with about one
00:03:05million and 200 thousand tons, followed by Raqqa then Aleppo, while
00:03:08the remaining quantities were distributed to the governorates of Hama, Deir
00:03:12ez-Zor, Daraa, Idlib, Homs and the coastal
00:03:15governorates. Wheat
00:03:17Bashar al-Assad's production in Syria during the 2025
00:03:19Damascus in a season had declined to between
00:03:22900 thousand and one million and 100 thousand tons, according
00:03:26to estimates by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. This was due
00:03:30to a severe drought wave, which increased
00:03:33the country's need for imports. However, the improvement
00:03:36in rainfall and the expansion of cultivated areas
00:03:40during the current season contributed to an increase
00:03:43in production. Before
00:03:46the return of electricity to these 2011, Syria produced in good seasons between three
00:03:51a report on this matter. and a half million and 4 million tons of wheat annually,
00:03:54achieving self-sufficiency and exporting the
00:03:58surplus in some years. However, the war, in addition to the drought
00:04:02waves that the country
00:04:04promises to improve the witnessed, especially during the years
00:04:062021
00:04:08waiting for a solution and 2022, led to a significant decline
00:04:12in production. Achieving self-sufficiency in
00:04:15wheat represents an important step to enhance food
00:04:19security, reduce the import bill, and ensure
00:04:22the availability of the basic ingredient for bread production, in light
00:04:26of the government's efforts to revive the agricultural sector
00:04:29and restore the production of strategic crops
00:04:32after years of damage to
00:04:35Agency reported that the agricultural infrastructure.
00:04:39The Ministry of Defense in Idlib
00:04:41a new episode held an introductory forum for the National University of Defense
00:04:45Sciences, attended by students from the third secondary class
00:04:48who wish to join it. The organizers of the
00:04:51forum explained the admission requirements and the
00:04:55preferential mechanism, in addition to introducing the university's departments
00:04:58and specializations, with the aim
00:05:00of helping students choose their
00:05:02in our history, university path.
00:05:06Thank God, today we were honored to meet a crowd of university students,
00:05:10third-year high school students. The successful students in the
00:05:14third secondary stage. We congratulated them on their success
00:05:17in this stage and introduced them to the National University
00:05:21of Defense Sciences. We emphasized the components
00:05:25of how to enter this university, from the beginning
00:05:28of the preference
00:05:31of registration at the university
00:05:34according to the student's wishes. We introduced them to
00:05:37the National University of Defense Sciences and its components, which
00:05:41generally consist of the Land College, the Naval College,
00:05:44the Air Colleges, and the Higher Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology.
00:05:48The start of attendance will be according to
00:05:51the Ministry of Higher Education by launching the preference. When the preference
00:05:55is launched, registration will take place, and immediately
00:05:58after the preference ends, the admission
00:06:02exam for students will be held, and immediately
00:06:05at the latest on October

00:06:14The General Company for Drinking Water and Sanitation in Damascus
00:06:17announced a modification to the water supply program for some areas
00:06:21due to a decrease in the flow of main water sources.
00:06:24The company clarified through its Facebook pages
00:06:28that the modified program will be applied starting today,
00:06:32Thursday, in light of the high temperatures in Damascus
00:06:35and its countryside and the increase in consumption
00:06:38during the summer.
00:06:46In this context, residents of Al-Hurayji town in the northern
00:06:50countryside of Deir Ezzor complain about the continued
00:06:53drinking water crisis due to repeated water outages and the high
00:06:57cost of buying water tankers, in addition to complaints
00:07:00about weak pumping and poor water
00:07:03quality, with demands
00:07:04for solutions to end their suffering.
00:07:08Abdo checks the water tank in his house almost
00:07:11daily, for fear of it running out at
00:07:15any moment, forcing him to then order
00:07:18a water tanker to secure his family's needs.
00:07:21Water only reaches his house intermittently,
00:07:24a situation shared by most residents of Al-Hurayji in the northern
00:07:28Deir Ezzor
00:07:30countryside. Water tankers are not just waiting
00:07:35at least two or three days when there's pressure
00:07:38on water, and the tanker takes advantage of this,
00:07:59the complaints of the residents are not limited to water outages, but
00:08:02also extend to its quality, as many confirm that
00:08:05the water that reaches their homes lacks
00:08:09cleanliness.
00:08:12This station is open, so it gets dirt,
00:08:16impurities, thorns, even
00:08:19animal feces, and dirt. We want a special
00:08:23line just for drinking water for people.
00:08:25To understand the reasons for the weak water
00:08:28supply to the town and the causes of this
00:08:32problem, we went to Al-Ja'ar station, where we met
00:08:35its operators to learn about its
00:08:39operations and the challenges it faces.
00:08:41It's drawing. We have a problem
00:08:45with the vent. After two hours, we check it.
00:08:49It's the same in North Ja'ar. We run it six, five, or
00:08:53seven hours, depending on the electricity. Electricity is our biggest
00:08:56problem. We don't have enough electricity. It's
00:08:59180, 170, 190.
00:09:02The motors won't start. The solution is to get a tank.
00:09:05It definitely needs a tank. It needs purification. It needs
00:09:08filters. And the water intake from above needs filters.
00:09:13Despite
00:09:16water situation, the residents of Al-Hurayji are still
00:09:21to end their suffering from repeated outages
00:09:24and poor water quality.
00:09:27Repeated complaints of weak water supply and outages in
00:09:31Al-Hurayji town in the northern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, which
00:09:35forces residents to buy water from tankers, amid demands
00:09:39for solutions that ensure its regular
00:09:41delivery to residents. Musab Al-Hana,
00:09:45Syria TV, Deir
00:09:48ez-Zor. Transport Minister Yaarob Bader discussed with
00:09:51the new Director of the World Bank for the Middle East,
00:09:55Dalia Khalifa, support for rehabilitation and development projects
00:09:58for transport and railway infrastructure in Syria.
00:10:02The meeting discussed a proposal to conduct a study for
00:10:05transporting containers by rail between Latakia port
00:10:08and the dry ports in Aleppo,
00:10:11Homs, and Damascus, in addition to highway projects
00:10:15under the BOT system. For her part, Khalifa
00:10:18confirmed the World Bank's readiness to support the railway
00:10:21project and to fund technical and feasibility studies
00:10:25and project preparation in preparation for presenting it to the Bank's
00:10:29Board of Directors.
00:10:34Energy Minister Mohammed Al-Bashir said that the Ministry of Energy
00:10:38has started rehabilitation work on the electricity grid of Saraqib
00:10:41city in the Idlib countryside, after a 14-year
00:10:43outage. The minister stated that rehabilitating the grid
00:10:47will contribute to restoring electricity to the city's neighborhoods,
00:10:51which will also provide access to the towns and villages
00:10:55of Saraqib and pave the way for the return of
00:10:58displaced people to their homes. For his part, Idlib
00:11:01Governor Mohammed Abdel Rahman stated that work is underway
00:11:05in coordination with the Ministry
00:11:06of Energy to complete the electricity grid rehabilitation work.
00:11:12For more details on this topic, our correspondent
00:11:15from Idlib, Ibrahim Al-Suwaid, explains. Welcome, Ibrahim. So,
00:11:19reactivating the electricity
00:11:22this long outage, what are the additional details?
00:11:27Yes, indeed, Ruba, Ruba, the General Electricity
00:11:31Establishment had started about ten
00:11:34months ago the process of
00:11:38maintaining the main stations in Idlib
00:11:41areas. And about ten days ago, I met with
00:11:45the director of electricity in Idlib. He talked mainly,
00:11:48Ruba, about the process of repairing
00:11:52the main stations, such as Bisida station, Saraqib station,
00:11:56and Sinjar station, in addition to the sub-stations, which are
00:11:59behind me here, Al-Bara station. And he talked mainly
00:12:04being operational soon, and it seems that Saraqib station
00:12:08was indeed one of the first stations to receive electricity
00:12:12from Al-Zirbah area in the Aleppo
00:12:15countryside. The line that reached these stations is the
00:12:1866 line, and there will also be the
00:12:21230 line available soon.
00:12:25This is what caused the electricity
00:12:28grid to be expanded and enter Saraqib
00:12:32city mainly. The director
00:12:35of electricity said that the rehabilitation of the main
00:12:38stations will lead to accelerating the process
00:12:42of extending electricity within villages and towns. He spoke
00:12:45about 500 villages
00:12:49Idlib countryside that do not have electricity.
00:12:52Therefore, there are main population centers and
00:12:56areas such as Saraqib and Maarat al-Numan city,
00:12:59in addition to Kafr Nabl
00:13:06and therefore work is being done on the main stations
00:13:10to bring electricity to them. Electricity will be
00:13:13supplied gradually to Saraqib city
00:13:17in terms of rehabilitating the internal networks, because we
00:13:20are talking about dilapidated electricity networks, according
00:13:24to the director. Specifically, it will encourage
00:13:34the people of Saraqib city to return,
00:13:38especially since most of them were displaced,
00:13:41not completely displaced, before
00:13:44the liberation.
00:13:47Yes, and specifically, electricity will contribute significantly,
00:13:51and this is according to many of the statements
00:13:55we conducted in the region. Electricity will bring
00:13:58water with it, which also
00:14:02many water stations are waiting for electricity
00:14:06and operate on solar energy or diesel. Therefore,
00:14:11villages and towns, even about 10 days ago, we were preparing
00:14:16The industrial companies and shops in the southern Idlib countryside
00:14:20all rely on diesel electricity or even on solar
00:14:23energy. However, these are emergency solutions, because in winter,
00:14:27solar energy will not work, and the costs of diesel
00:14:31are very high. Therefore, many companies, many shops,
00:14:34and even residents are genuinely waiting for a real return
00:14:37of these stations and a return of electricity
00:14:41networks so that they can gradually return to their villages
00:14:44and towns. Thank you very much,
00:14:45Ibrahim Suwaid, our correspondent
00:14:50from Idlib, for this information. The General Authority for Borders
00:14:53and Customs stated that the total number of passengers
00:14:57who crossed the Kasab crossing in both directions
00:14:59since the beginning of the year reached about 121
00:15:03thousand passengers. The authority stated that the Kasab border
00:15:06crossing with Turkey received during the same period
00:15:09nearly 5,000 Syrian citizens as part of voluntary return.
00:15:13The authority confirmed that it is working on preparing
00:15:16projects to develop the infrastructure and services at the Kasab
00:15:19crossing during the coming period, including modernizing
00:15:23service facilities and expanding
00:15:34some operational facilities. The Israeli occupation army continues
00:15:38to launch intense raids on southern Lebanon, accompanied
00:15:41by evacuation warnings, while the seventh round
00:15:45of negotiations between Lebanon and Israel has not
00:15:48achieved any progress.
00:15:53A military escalation in southern Lebanon is met
00:15:57with a stalemate at the Lebanese-Israeli negotiating table
00:16:01in Rome, at a
00:16:04army has expanded its targets in the south
00:16:07by launching raids on villages and towns that
00:16:11had been spared Israeli fire for a while,
00:16:14in addition to evacuation warnings that affected Al-Mansouri
00:16:19leading to the displacement of dozens of families
00:16:23from the town. This scene brought back to
00:16:26the southerners the memory of the war that
00:16:28started and has not ended yet. President Joseph
00:16:32Aoun returned from the United States with solutions
00:16:36for southern Lebanon based on the principle of complete
00:16:39Israeli withdrawal in exchange for dismantling Hezbollah's military
00:16:43structure. Of course, Hezbollah refused and still refuses,
00:16:47so I fear that we are heading towards
00:16:50a new round of annihilation in southern Lebanon,
00:16:54and it may extend
00:16:56to Beirut. Between the stakes of political solutions
00:17:00and the possibility of military escalation,
00:17:03Lebanon remains largely linked to the course
00:17:06of events in the region. This is
00:17:09what keeps the Lebanese arena in a constant
00:17:12state of anticipation and fear. This
00:17:16is matched by the Lebanese negotiations with
00:17:21progressing in their seventh round, but
00:17:24they are working to extinguish the flames of
00:17:28the expected war that flares up from time
00:17:31to time. It is clear that things are
00:17:35moving day by day towards more
00:17:39complications and more escalation. There are
00:17:42American threats that I believe are the
00:17:46most serious since the ceasefire between
00:17:49the two sides and the signing of the
00:17:52memorandum of understanding. I believe that things have
00:17:56returned to square one, and the American
00:18:00president realizes that the Iranian mother
00:18:03is playing on the factor of time,
00:18:06which favors Iran, not Trump or
00:18:12facing elections. I believe that the American
00:18:15president is determined to end the Iranian
00:18:18nuclear file. At the popular level, fears
00:18:23are increasing, and what results from it
00:18:26in terms of displacement, rising rents, and
00:18:29the prices of goods and services, in light
00:18:33of an economic crisis plaguing the country
00:18:36that has significantly increased since the
00:18:40beginning of the Israeli war on Lebanon last
00:18:43March. The political scene in Lebanon remains
00:18:47stagnant, while the south remains under intermittent
00:18:51Israeli shelling. Between political stagnation and
00:18:55military violations, many Lebanese live with one
00:18:58obsession: that war does not return to
00:19:01impose itself again. With every regional
00:19:05development, fears are renewed, while eyes
00:19:08remain fixed on diplomatic efforts that
00:19:11may prevent the situation from escalating into
00:19:15a wider confrontation. From Beirut, Maya
00:19:18Hashem, Syria
00:19:19TV. The Israeli
00:19:23army spokesman said that the Israeli army
00:19:27attacked Hezbollah infrastructure in several areas
00:19:31in southern Lebanon during the past 24 hours.
00:19:33He explained that the strikes came in
00:19:37response to an explosion that occurred in the
00:19:41Majdal Zoun area and resulted in the
00:19:44death of two Israeli soldiers and
00:19:47the injury of four others with serious
00:19:51wounds. He added that the raids targeted
00:19:54weapons depots, a command headquarters, and
00:19:58other infrastructure, confirming the continued
00:20:01deployment of Israeli forces in what he described
00:20:04as the security zone in southern
00:20:07Lebanon. The Lebanese National News
00:20:13seventh round of indirect negotiations between Lebanon
00:20:17and Israel, sponsored by the United States,
00:20:20was held in the Italian capital, Rome,
00:20:23amid continued efforts to
00:20:28reach an understanding on the outstanding issues,
00:20:31especially the borders and
00:21:24prisoners. On its part, Lebanese media reported
00:21:27that September 1st was set as a
00:21:30preliminary date for a new session,
00:21:33with an American commitment to follow up on
00:21:36the prisoner and border files during the interim period. It
00:21:40also indicated that no final results
00:21:44were reached regarding the model areas, in light of Lebanon's
00:21:47insistence on moving
00:21:50to new areas against Israel's insistence
00:21:54on completing the verification of the
00:21:58first and second areas. A new
00:22:01security agreement to regulate the situation on the
00:22:04borders with international legal reference was
00:22:08also discussed, in addition to exchanging
00:22:12preliminary lists of prisoners, with Lebanon
00:22:14demanding the immediate release of a
00:22:18first batch.
00:22:21This concludes this bulletin. Thank you
00:22:24for watching, and may God protect
00:22:28you. At that time,
00:22:31the planes were bombing.
00:22:34It was like barrel bombs
00:22:37in those days. Mr. Rasem,
00:22:41you are now portraying the Palestinian
00:22:45character who is interested in work,
00:22:51and a love for
00:23:00learning and knowledge. This is the Palestinian
00:23:03people. The security mind cannot
00:23:06differentiate between having a relationship with
00:23:09politics and working in politics, so you necessarily
00:23:13know everyone. And I was
00:23:16curious because this was the
00:23:21first time there was a
00:23:23coup in Syria. Your first
00:23:27contact with Ghassan Kanafani was when
00:23:31you submitted a text for
00:23:35publication in Al-Hadaf magazine.
00:23:37And to
00:23:40this day, Shukri Kuwatli's
00:23:43voice still rings in
00:23:46my ears. And I remember
00:23:54when he said, "This is a
00:23:58momentous day from the days
00:24:01of Omar, never to
00:24:04be forgotten."
00:24:07escape from
00:24:09time when events are accelerating.
00:24:13Welcome, viewers, to this news
00:24:16hour from Syria TV, where issues
00:24:20intersect. Our news
00:24:23bulletins bring you the
00:24:25complete picture to the whole
00:24:28world. Here, we don't
00:24:32just narrate the event, but we delve
