00:00:00As one of the guests said again, the fourth point is that the confusion in prices
00:00:03that I see in the markets, no one sells me bananas,
00:00:07the imported bananas from one of the countries. This one wants 20
00:00:10thousand for it, this one wants 200 lira for it, this one wants 18
00:00:13lira for it, even though it's the same thing. I see where the problem is. This country is side by side.
00:00:17The sellers are like, this one wants to eat kebab at my expense, this one wants to eat
00:00:21falafel from his profit. Let's cooperate with
00:00:24each other and have a small profit temporarily without this greed, because
00:00:29production supplies, including any commodity that is lost for the consumer from the market means food
00:00:33Vichy government, allied security. This means a family did not bring eggs home, did not bring labneh. They might do without one
00:00:37which led to guaranteed losses this or two items, milk, no milk, no cheese, no, but also for breakfast,
00:00:41he should not have four or five products so that his children can go to school in the
00:00:48This stance led cubic meters per optimal way. I have nothing to say here, positively. What did you say? You sacrifice a certain
00:00:50crop after wheat in deficit, in other words, I have a balance of payments deficit, but where
00:00:53does my deficit in the field of payments come from, because all the goods we consume are consumer
00:00:57goods. But if I imported and allowed the producer or
00:01:01gave him loans, even without interest, to produce, and I had
00:01:04a deficit, after a year it would turn into a surplus. The same applies to the
00:01:08general budget. The deficit is not generally negative if this deficit
00:01:11is translated into investment spending and support for the
00:01:14production process. Consequently, the third
00:01:17at the heart of the story. Now, to this deficit, which is between purchasing power and prices, will decrease
00:01:20as much as possible as a result
00:01:23from last year's floods, with of the decrease in the first deficit in the trade balance and the decrease in the second deficit in the general budget.
00:01:25Now, this will take time, but let's be on
00:01:28is broader than the right path and not be confused by decisions
00:01:30right and left. We won't wait
00:01:32rights for Palestinians, four years, as the dilemma said. Yes, I thank you very
00:01:35much, Dr. Ziad Arabash, the economic expert.
00:01:39You were with us from
00:01:51students are going back to areas for tomato production in Syria, and a crop that has always
00:01:54been associated with the Syrian table in a country whose markets are accustomed to recording
00:01:58high prices for this
00:02:02of the country so that product. However, the paradox this season comes from another direction: abundant production in
00:02:04Daraa, coupled with weak demand, which drove prices down to
00:02:08of Syria, but
00:02:09Of course, this levels lower than the cost of production, putting farmers in front of significant
00:02:13losses due to the absence of export outlets
00:02:16and the limited capacity of canning factories to
00:02:19absorb the surplus
00:02:24on the farmer and increased crop. Abundant harvest
00:02:27and heavy loss,
00:02:30excavation work of this kind in this is how the tomato season that Abdul Aziz waited for is summarized,
00:02:32as is the case for hundreds of farmers in
00:02:36the Daraa countryside. Abundance of production and weak
00:02:39demand brought prices down to levels that do
00:02:43not cover the costs of harvesting, fertilizers, and irrigation.
00:02:47With the absence of export opportunities, the farmer has become
00:02:51pottery fragments, and a wall of the weakest link in an equation in which he succeeded
00:02:54agriculturally and failed economically.
00:02:58Prices, as they say, are dirt cheap, neither for sale nor for purchase, and the cost is high, and our livelihood
00:03:02is in front of us. We don't know where to go with it. We can neither leave it
00:03:05on the ground nor sell it and deliver it, because it won't sell.
00:03:09This is the situation of the farmer this year. Very, very high
00:03:12costs and no prices. We need foreign
00:03:15markets. We need, as they say, a solution from
00:03:18of Selo for his participation the farmer has a big reproach. this state to find a solution for us in this disaster that has befallen us.
00:03:22To save what can be saved and to compensate
00:03:25for part of the production costs, some
00:03:28farmers resorted to canning
00:03:31factories to dispose of their piled-up harvest. A long
00:03:34journey from washing to sorting
00:03:37and cooking until the paste finally
00:03:41that followed comes out. More than 30 factories in Daraa
00:03:44governorate are working at their maximum capacity,
00:03:47but they cannot absorb the quantities
00:03:50offered at the peak of the season, as
00:03:53Daraa agriculture estimates the amount of production for this season
00:03:58was discovered, along with fragments at about 400,000 tons. Of course, we are working 24
00:04:01hours a day, which is equivalent to 200 tons of beans
00:04:05daily. We take advantage of this situation by filling
00:04:08morning containers and in the evening
00:04:11we work at high density to store barrels
00:04:15for the winter season.
00:04:18and they are So we are utilizing this to produce the largest possible quantity, or as a daily job.
00:04:21And between abundant production and a tight
00:04:25market, the farmer's hope remains for government
00:04:28intervention to secure exports instead of
00:04:32blaming him
00:04:34by drowning after she fell from for not adhering to the agricultural plan. The canning
00:04:37factories in Daraa province, despite their scarcity,
00:04:40are a lifeline for farmers
00:04:43the Abbasid state. The excavation at wishing to dispose of their produce. They absorb larger quantities of tomatoes
00:04:47and require lower costs compared
00:04:50and conviction in to the wholesale markets. Hussam Al-Masalmeh,
00:04:53Syria TV, Central Daraa countryside.
00:04:57And joining me is Engineer Wael Al-Ahmad, Vice President of the
00:05:01His father was an officer in Syndicate of Agricultural Engineers in Daraa. Welcome. What are the reasons that
00:05:04led to the decline in tomato prices to
00:05:08levels lower than the cost of production,
00:05:11despite the abundance of the
00:05:20season was characterized by a high abundance of production, as
00:05:23the production quantities were estimated between 400,000 and 500,000
00:05:27tons, which is almost half a million tons, and these
00:05:30are very large quantities compared to the local
00:05:34need. Of course,
00:05:37in addition, this was accompanied by the high cost of agricultural
00:05:41fertilizers, pesticides, and other things,
00:05:44and the rising cost of agricultural land guarantees,
00:05:49year due to the decrease
00:05:53in tomato crop prices, which is one of the most important
00:05:55agricultural crops grown in Daraa Governorate, where
00:05:59tomatoes are considered the second strategic
00:06:03the governorate, and this has led to great discontent
00:06:06among farmers, which is
00:06:09due to the expansion of areas and consequently the expansion
00:06:12of the resulting losses.
00:06:15Yes, I also want to ask about how much it costs to produce
00:06:19a kilo of tomatoes for the farmer and what the selling price
00:06:22has reached in the markets currently, and consequently, what is the extent
00:06:26of the loss incurred by the farmer?
00:06:29Of course, regarding the issue of determining numbers, it is a
00:06:32relative matter that is difficult to determine, but roughly
00:06:36on average, the cost of cultivating a dunam of tomatoes
00:06:38ranges between 600 and
00:06:42800 or 900 dollars. The cost can be high, of course, depending on the
00:06:45conditions, depending on whether the field is exposed to diseases or stresses.
00:06:49The matter is very relative. We can say zero,
00:06:52Mr. Wassim, zero. The cost of a dunam is 600 dollars.
00:06:55Of course, it is known that the average production this year was
00:06:59high, meaning the average is usually 6 tons, 8 tons. This year, production reached
00:07:0310 and even a little more. Of course,
00:07:05this leads to every dunam losing approximately 3 or
00:07:094 million Syrian pounds, or if you want in terms of kilograms, if we want to talk
00:07:13in terms of kilograms, today a kilo is sold to the factory for 600 Syrian
00:07:16pounds, and a kilo is sold to the wholesale markets for 1200.
00:07:22is not only accompanied by costs, but also by transportation
00:07:25costs, harvesting and packaging costs, in addition
00:07:29to the commission, which is estimated between 7% and 8%
00:07:31in the wholesale markets. All of this has increased the burden
00:07:36the costs, additional costs, in addition to increasing his
00:07:40losses. So where exactly does the main problem
00:07:44lie? Is it in surplus production, weak
00:07:47demand, or the absence of marketing
00:07:50or export channels?
00:07:53Mr. Wassim, the main problem
00:07:56began when the farmer
00:08:00raised his ambitions due to the gains that
00:08:04he wished to achieve,
00:08:08because he planted large
00:08:11and vast areas. However, we are facing a problem that
00:08:15can be understood. Today, let's say in common language
00:08:18that the farmer got himself into trouble and planted, and let's
00:08:22acknowledge that he planted areas
00:08:25larger than the needs. But we also, honestly,
00:08:30A reproach to the government agencies summarized in several matters. First,
00:08:34what prevents the state from, for example, obliging canning
00:08:37factories to buy tomatoes at a slightly higher price?
00:08:41At the beginning of the season, canning factories were buying almost
00:08:44a kilogram for 900 Syrian pounds, which is a fair price for both parties,
00:08:48fair for the farmer and fair for the canning factory. Today, we see that
00:08:51canning factories are taking, canning factories are buying
00:08:54a kilogram of tomatoes at a very low price, in addition
00:08:58to the fact that it was not accompanied by a decrease in tomato paste. This means
00:09:01that nothing accompanied it, so the loss benefited
00:09:05the canning factory and cost the farmer. Here,
00:09:08there was, there was an opportunity for the government to intervene. Of course,
00:09:12it is supposed that there should be government canning factories that act as a safety
00:09:16valve for the price, and since there are no government canning factories,
00:09:20the Ministry of Internal Trade could have obliged canning factories to a certain
00:09:23price. I mean, it could have set the price at 900
00:09:27Syrian pounds, a very fair price, knowing that at the beginning of the season, canning
00:09:30factories were buying a kilo of tomatoes for 900 Syrian pounds and 1000 Syrian pounds, and it was a
00:09:34very fair price. Therefore, now you expect, yes,
00:09:37do you expect that the continuation of current prices may
00:09:41lead to farmers shying away from growing
00:09:44tomatoes in the coming season or
00:09:47reducing the agricultural areas for this
00:09:49commodity? The farmer of Daraa,
00:09:53agriculture is a natural instinct for him, especially
00:09:56tomatoes. Tomatoes have become a characteristic of Daraa Governorate. I mean,
00:10:00after wheat, it is the second crop in terms of area and cultivation. We,
00:10:03of course, the tomato season is very long. I mean,
00:10:06we plant tomatoes in three main cycles, starting from the early covered
00:10:10cycle, passing through the main summer cycle, ending with the autumn
00:10:12cycle. Of course, this is a long period,
00:10:16which extends between six and seven months. We have tomatoes
00:10:19and tomato production, and Daraa Governorate has been facing this situation. This
00:10:23has led to great reproach among farmers. The tomato farmer says that we have been
00:10:27facing this for five or six months. Where is the state? Where are the government agencies regarding our problem? Where
00:10:30is the intervention of government agencies regarding our tragedy? Of course, in addition,
00:10:34the farmer's reproach is not only to oblige canning factories
00:10:38to buy at a certain price. It is also assumed
00:10:41that this production should be accompanied by, for example, the opening
00:10:45of government or cooperative sales outlets through
00:10:48farmers' associations and the Farmers' Union. Sales outlets that shorten the
00:10:52profit margins that have burdened the farmer. They have burdened
00:10:55the citizen. Neither has the farmer benefited from the cheap product,
00:10:59nor has the farmer benefited from the product that has burdened him
00:11:02today. Today, today, a dunam of tomatoes needs
00:11:06approximately 500 cubic meters, Mr. Wassim. Imagine 500 cubic
00:11:09meters of water. I mean, look at the big
00:11:12number. Consequently, the lack of,
00:11:15I mean, the harm to groundwater and the harm
00:11:18to, and the citizen did not benefit, and he is primarily harmed.
00:11:22Of course. Yes, thank you very much, Engineer Wael, Vice President
00:11:25of the Syndicate of Agricultural Engineers in
00:11:38implementation procedures, the issue of property ownership remains one of
00:11:42the files that concern Palestinians residing in
00:11:44Syria, in light of questions about the mechanisms for completing transactions
00:11:48and the required authorities and procedures. Despite what Law No.
00:11:52260 stipulated regarding civil and economic
00:11:57in practice, there are cases that face difficulties or
00:12:01delays in completing ownership
00:12:03transactions.
00:12:06Uncle Jamil has not yet been able to obtain the required
00:12:10approval to complete the procedures for his ownership of a property in
00:12:13Damascus, leaving his transaction pending
00:12:16despite completing the necessary procedures. From his side.
00:12:20I applied for a security approval for Palestinian ownership.
00:12:23So I've been waiting since 2025, since
00:12:2721, 12, 2025.
00:12:31I couldn't get a result even though they came and conducted a study on
00:12:35my son for the security approval, but I haven't
00:12:38gotten a result. I keep going back and forth, and no one is
00:12:42giving me a clear answer. Where is it? We don't know. Where did it go? We don't
00:12:46know. I review and go to see where it is. We
00:12:49don't know. Jamil's situation raises questions among
00:12:52Palestinians in Damascus about the mechanism of ownership
00:12:55and its procedures, while specialists explain that Law
00:12:59No. 260 regulated the situation of Palestinians
00:13:03and granted them civil and economic rights, leaving
00:13:06the mechanisms for implementing some of these rights, especially ownership,
00:13:09subject to question.
00:13:13At that time, the Syrian Palestinian could own whatever he wanted by virtue
00:13:16of a court decision, or by virtue of irrevocable powers of attorney, or by virtue of a title deed, and
00:13:20it required obtaining security approval. Now, the Syrian Palestinian
00:13:23needs any method to transfer ownership, whether by virtue of a court
00:13:27decision, or by virtue of a notary public power of attorney, or if it is a title deed, he needs a security
00:13:30approval issued by the Ministry of Interior in civil affairs. But we just want
00:13:34to clarify a very important point, which is that the matter should be more transparent
00:13:38in explaining the mechanism for obtaining this approval.
00:13:41And between the text of the law and the reality of implementation, the question
00:13:45remains about the steps required to enhance
00:13:48the living and social stability of Palestinian
00:13:52refugees in Syria.
00:13:55Viewers, we continue with you in Ayn Syria, and after
00:13:58the break, emergency excavations around the
00:14:02Great Mosque in Raqqa reveal architectural remains and discoveries dating
00:14:06back to the Abbasid era.
00:14:54Welcome back. Local sources reported the death of a woman
00:14:59the war bridge over the Euphrates River in eastern Deir Ezzor,
00:15:02Syria. Sources said that the woman
00:15:05fell from the bridge,
00:15:08and traffic security personnel were able to retrieve her body.
00:15:12The incident coincides with warnings against approaching the
00:15:15Euphrates River due to increased water flow
00:15:19from the Kediran Dam in the coming
00:15:22days.
00:15:27The Civil Defense stated that its teams continue to monitor the rising
00:15:31water levels of the Euphrates River in Deir Ezzor in coordination with relevant
00:15:35authorities within the emergency response committee.
00:15:38The Civil Defense teams carried out field tours and took
00:15:41precautionary measures to reduce risks, including maintaining
00:15:45the dirt bridge and establishing an advanced response point
00:15:48with divers and rescue personnel to enhance
00:15:51readiness and speed of intervention when needed.
00:15:55And
00:15:59the Director General of the General Establishment for the Euphrates Dam, Haitham
00:16:03Bakkour, called on residents in the governorates of Raqqa and Deir Ezzor to stay away from
00:16:06the Euphrates River, coinciding with an increase in the amount
00:16:10of water released from the Kediran Dam. Bakkour told
00:16:13Syria TV that the amount of water released from the dam
00:16:17has been gradually and steadily increased, and that
00:16:20it is expected to reach 1200
00:16:23second, and that the release will continue at this level until
00:16:27mid-October. Bakkour added that
00:16:30the establishment is continuously monitoring the conditions of the dams in coordination
00:16:34with the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management, both from
00:16:37a structural
00:16:38and operational perspective.
00:16:44The Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management launched a proactive
00:16:48response plan to reduce the risks of floods and torrential rains in
00:16:51Al-Hasakah Governorate. According to the Ministry, the plan is based on
00:16:55assessing risk areas and lessons learned
00:17:00a focus on areas located on the banks of the Khabour
00:17:03River and wadi courses, especially in
00:17:06Tal Hamis, Al-Aroubia, and Ras Al-Ain. The directorate began
00:17:10implementing the first phase in Tal Hamis, which included Wadi
00:17:13Al-Makhabin and a number of villages south of the region, in addition to
00:17:17works in Al-Yarubiyah, passing through the villages
00:17:20of Al-Saiha and Al-Boutha to address the most vulnerable points
00:17:24and enhance the readiness of local
00:17:27communities.
00:17:31Syria TV correspondent reported the inauguration of the cardiac
00:17:34catheterization department in Deir Ezzor Governorate and the successful
00:17:38completion of the first heart operation. The inauguration of the department
00:17:41contributes to providing diagnostic and treatment services for heart
00:17:45diseases within Deir Ezzor city and reduces the need for patients
00:17:48to travel outside the governorate
00:17:49for treatment.
00:17:57Emergency excavations around the Great Mosque in the city of Raqqa
00:18:01revealed architectural remains and discoveries
00:18:04linked to the Abbasid era, in the first
00:18:08the city in about 15
00:18:10years.
00:18:13Under the residential buildings
00:18:16surrounding the Abbasid Al-Mansouri Mosque, known as the
00:18:20Great Mosque, emergency excavations by the Raqqa Antiquities
00:18:23Department revealed a decorated floor,
00:18:28baked brick. Preliminary evidence suggests
00:18:31its connection to the Abbasid era. This
00:18:34layer that we discovered is a very important
00:18:37layer because it is a layer located under modern
00:18:41buildings, and it is rare for someone to
00:18:45demolish his house and rebuild a new house because the buildings are old
00:18:48and built a long time ago. And during wars or
00:18:52shelling, thank God, very few
00:18:55buildings were destroyed. Work is currently
00:18:59underway after the emergency excavations in Raqqa city stopped
00:19:02for about 15 years. It is supervised by
00:19:05a committee of archeology specialists and engineers to complete
00:19:08the excavation, documentation, and study work amidst a need
00:19:12for greater support to reveal the extent of scientific
00:19:15facts about the civilizations
00:19:18Raqqa. The Department of Antiquities
00:19:21divided the site into
00:19:24squares
00:19:26and sections for the excavation
00:19:29process. An archaeological floor
00:19:32dating back to the Abbasid era
00:19:35of pottery and fragments of
00:19:39ceramics, also dating back to the
00:19:41Abbasid era. The Department of Antiquities is working
00:19:44diligently and is nearing the completion
00:19:48of the excavation within the next five days, dating
00:19:51back to the Abbasid era,
00:19:56among the buildings surrounding
00:19:59the Great Abbasid Mosque. In addition to this site,
00:20:02I believe the entire surrounding area consists of buildings
00:20:06related to the construction of the mosque, in addition to
00:20:09the Caliphate Palace that was south
00:20:13of the Abbasid Mosque, and these are all part of the Abbasid
00:20:16Raqqa that was built during
00:20:20the site comes in light of what the antiquities of Raqqa have been subjected
00:20:24to since 2013, including looting, destruction,
00:20:27and clandestine excavation, in parallel with efforts
00:20:30to recover archaeological artifacts and protect
00:20:33sites and prevent any construction
00:20:37or modification work in them without proper
00:21:40news is not a fleeting detail, but a moment
00:21:43that deserves understanding.
00:21:46In a world full of headlines, we search for what
00:21:49is behind them. Syria TV website
00:21:53brings you the event as it is and gives you the context
00:21:57for a complete picture.
00:22:00Continuous coverage, balanced analysis,
00:22:03and content that puts people
00:22:07breaking news: Bashar al-Assad's escape.
00:22:10Syria TV website, because knowledge
00:22:14begins with a question, and the truth
00:22:18the news.
00:22:24I see a plan to rebuild Syria, and the streets are being
00:22:28paved, and electricity will be back 24/7.
00:22:35on paper. Syria is coming back stronger than before, and the economy is
00:22:39recovering. Look,
00:22:41school. A bright future, as
00:22:45I see it. Very bright. Come and see the darkness
00:22:49in my place. Half of the ninth-grade students failed. No, but I
00:22:52see a glimmer of hope, and people are planting, resisting,
00:22:55and laughing. I mean, there is hope. We are the generation of change.
00:22:59What change? What are we going to change if there is no electricity
00:23:02and water? Wait, wait, I see national reconciliation
00:23:05and new understandings with neighboring countries. I
00:23:09see division, not centralization, and federalism.
00:23:13Oh, you can't be optimistic, not even a little? Wait a minute.
00:23:17This is your cup, not my cup. Oh, yes,
00:23:20I am Ward, and wait for me in the program "Akhod wa Radd" on Syria
00:23:24TV, and the second one, wait for her.
00:23:37The truth does not always lie in what
00:23:39we see,
00:23:42but in what was absent or hidden from
00:23:46the scene. Among the wreckage of documents and the shadows,
00:23:51we follow the trail, however small.
00:23:54We listen, we explore,
00:23:56we investigate, we search, and we discuss,
00:24:00striving to highlight what was missing from the
00:24:03picture. The Explorer on Syria TV.
00:24:17The escape of Bashar al-Assad.
00:24:23In a time when events are accelerating, welcome, viewers, to this news
00:24:26hour from Syria TV, where issues
00:24:29intersect. Our news
00:24:33bulletins bring you the complete picture
00:24:36to the whole
00:24:38world. Here, we don't just narrate
00:24:42the event, but we delve into its background,
00:24:45analyze its dimensions,
00:24:47and keep up with hot developments
00:24:51with continuous coverage around the clock.
00:24:54Our news
00:24:57takes you to the field, opens
00:25:00headlines, and reveals what
00:25:28Fawzi Selo
00:25:31Fawzi Selo, a military officer
00:25:35and interim president of Syria, an ally
00:25:38of Shikli in form
00:25:40governance. Fawzi Selo was born in the city
00:25:44of Damascus in 1905
00:25:47to a Kurdish family.
00:25:51the Ottoman army, which influenced
00:25:54Fawzi's personality, so he joined the French Special Forces
00:25:58that entered Syria in
00:26:001920.
00:26:03During his service there, he was able to enter the Military
00:26:06College in Homs and graduated two years later
00:26:10as a lieutenant.
00:26:18Selo rose through the military ranks during the French Mandate,
00:26:22but the outbreak of World War
00:26:25II negatively affected his career, as
00:26:28Selo, along with other Syrian officers, decided
00:26:32to side with the French
00:26:35with the Nazis, which initially controlled
00:26:39Syria until it was overthrown in
00:26:431943
00:26:46by the Free French government.
00:26:50to his dismissal from the army, but he
00:26:53was able to rejoin the army in
00:26:561945,
00:27:00when the Syrian army was effectively
00:27:03established, independent
00:27:04of the French.
00:27:09After independence, Fawzi Selo participated in the Palestine War in
00:27:131948.
00:27:17He then participated in the Syrian committee that negotiated with
00:27:20Israeli forces on a truce agreement in the same
00:27:23year. Fawzi Selo had strong
00:27:26friendships with Colonel Adib Shishakli, a comrade
00:27:30in arms in the 1948 War.
00:27:33When the latter carried out his coup in
00:27:361949, he appointed him Minister
00:27:40of Defense, and Selo remained in the ministry until
00:27:441951.
00:27:48In that year, Shishakli carried out his second coup against
00:27:51the government of Maarouf al-Dawalibi and President Hashim
00:27:54al-Atassi to prevent any potential Syrian-Iraqi
00:27:58rapprochement. Shishakli wanted to appoint
00:28:01Fawzi as president
00:28:04he would not appear to be power-hungry, and Selo
00:28:08subsequently became president
00:28:11in reality, he was a figurehead for Shishakli's rule.
00:28:14In addition to the presidency of the country,
00:28:17he also held the premiership,
00:28:20the Ministry of Defense,
00:28:22and the Ministry of Interior.
00:28:30In 1953,
00:28:33Fawzi Selo resigned from the presidency of the country in favor
00:28:37of Colonel Shishakli, who appointed himself
00:28:40president. However, the latter's rule did not last
00:28:43more than one year after facing
00:28:47a military coup that overthrew him. After
00:28:50his resignation from his military and civilian posts, Fawzi Selo
00:28:54traveled to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
00:28:57and worked as an advisor to King Saud for
00:29:01three years.
00:29:06He then returned to Syria and lived in his wife's
00:29:10family home in the city of Hama until he died in
00:29:131972.
00:29:17Despite much criticism
00:29:21in the military coup that disrupted Syrian
00:29:24parliamentary life, some believe that
00:29:27Selo was an honest man, even to the extent
00:29:30that he did not own his own house
00:29:34to leave to his children. A
00:30:46warm greeting to our viewers wherever you are. In this new episode
00:30:49of Rebound, we review with you the most prominent
00:30:52issues and topics that attracted the attention of social
00:30:56media users during the past hours.
