By God, the citizen does not have the ability to pay for a pair of pants or at high prices. So, it affected, it affected the economy, the market in general. This price and the fluctuation of the exchange rate affect us. Now, whether it goes down or up, it affects us. Now, the market has risen a little bit, but we, I mean, we have a thing that when it starts to rise, everyone rushes to buy dollars, meaning it increases its rise. There is an increased demand for dollars, even if they don't need them. But, I mean, maybe they are used to it or something. When it starts to rise, everyone rushes to buy dollars. When it starts to fall, everyone rushes to ask for Syrian pounds. This increased demand immediately affects its exchange rate. In Homs, Syria TV monitored the opinions of residents.

00:05:54tensions, stressing that persistence in the military

00:07:42The Ministry of Foreign Affairs held
00:07:46a consultative workshop in Damascus to develop
00:07:49a national approach to dealing with hate
00:07:53speech, with the participation of relevant national
00:07:56bodies and technical facilitation from experts from the
00:08:00Office of the Special Envoy of the United
00:08:02Nations to Syria.
00:08:06and fears, while the responsibility of the
00:08:09Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in cooperation with all
00:08:13Syrian government bodies, is to rid Syria
00:08:15of these effects, the chemical
00:08:18Assad era and the weapons he left
00:08:21behind. These priorities are available to our people.
00:08:25The goal is to bring Syria to the state
00:08:28that the Syrian people deserve, including
00:08:31the fact that we are now witnessing
00:08:36that does not conform to the principles of
00:08:40the Syrian people and does not conform
00:08:45to the values that the Syrian people
00:08:47represent. Basically, transforming
00:08:50this popular situation
00:08:54into a controlled
00:08:57goal of the effort that begins with today's
00:09:00workshops. It does not begin and is not
00:09:03limited to one workshop, but rather it is a
00:09:07path that began previously through many national
00:09:11bodies, including the
00:09:22Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Justice,
00:09:25but now it is placed within a unified
00:09:29effort to reach a more efficient process.
00:09:33Claudio Cordone, Deputy Special Envoy of the
00:09:36United Nations to Syria,
00:09:48said in an interview with Syria TV that
00:09:51the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' initiative paves
00:09:54the way for developing an action plan
00:09:57to combat hate speech
00:10:01in Syria. Today,
00:10:04we are joined by
00:10:08ministries. At the end of the
00:10:11day, we will see what the future
00:10:15steps are. As I said, this
00:10:17initiative must also include civil society,
00:10:21religious leaders, and
00:10:24media. There is a wide
00:10:27scope for developing this plan. This
00:10:30is the first plan, and
00:10:35reach an action plan,
00:10:48and Syria will be the first
00:10:51country in the Arab world to
00:10:55have such a plan. A number
00:10:58of families of those kidnapped by
00:11:01the Israeli occupation gathered in front
00:11:04of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:11:08building and the International Committee of
00:11:11the Red Cross headquarters in
00:11:14Damascus, demanding the release of
00:11:18their children and the disclosure of
00:11:21their fate.
00:11:28Syria TV's correspondent reported that Israeli
00:11:31occupation forces arrested three shepherds
00:11:34in the village of Seid al-Jolana, and
00:11:37searched homes in the village of al-Hamidiyah
00:11:41in the Quneitra countryside. In the
00:11:44western Daraa countryside, three military vehicles
00:11:47of the Israeli occupation infiltrated from the
00:11:51Abu al-Ghaithar gate towards Wadi al-Raqad
00:11:55in the western Daraa
00:11:57countryside and ran over
00:12:03a motorcycle belonging to a farmer while
00:12:06passing through. The Anti-Narcotics Department
00:12:09announced the foiling of an attempt to
00:12:13smuggle more than 100,000 Captagon
00:12:16pills that were heading to the Kingdom
00:12:19of Saudi Arabia through the Nasib
00:12:23department clarified that the operation was carried
00:12:26out with the participation of police dog units,
00:12:30where the hidden pills were found
00:12:33inside the spare tire of a refrigerated
00:12:36truck that was
00:12:38heading to Saudi
00:12:45Arabia. It added that the operation
00:12:48resulted in the
00:12:52shipment, the arrest of the person
00:12:55involved, and the confiscation of the
00:12:59seized items. A symposium titled
00:13:03"Syria Without Drugs" was held at the
00:13:07Faculty of Pharmacy at Aleppo University,
00:13:10coinciding with World Mental Health Day.
00:13:13It discussed the dangers of drugs
00:13:16and their health, psychological,
00:13:19and social effects, and the importance
00:13:22of awareness and prevention of addiction, and strengthening efforts
00:13:26for treatment and rehabilitation. The importance
00:13:30of associating the "Syria Without Drugs"
00:13:33campaign with World Mental Health Day
00:13:37is that drugs strip people of
00:13:39their will and threaten their health.
00:13:42Today, we began a campaign within
00:13:45the context of the national campaign
00:13:48to combat drugs, "Syria Without Drugs."
00:13:51It began with a symposium at the
00:13:55Faculty of Pharmacy at Aleppo University.
00:13:59We discussed the achievements of the
00:14:01Anti-Narcotics Branch and the services
00:14:04provided by the
00:14:05Health Directorate as
00:14:13a hospital. Our message is a message
00:14:16of awareness, and we direct messages
00:14:20of reassurance to those affected that
00:14:23if you go to
00:14:25the specialized places, this will help
00:14:29you to reduce or eliminate legal
00:14:32accountability for you, and we will
00:14:36help you return to your normal
00:14:39life through the various health centers.
00:14:42These are the heroes of the
00:14:46Anti-Narcotics Department. Some owners and tenants
00:14:50of shops in the city of Al-Bab
00:14:53in the Aleppo countryside organized a
00:14:57protest in rejection of imposing a tax
00:15:00on the repaving of the market
00:15:06they described as large and linking
00:15:09it to providing electricity to the
00:15:13shops.
00:15:16It's not for the authorities, and it's not for
00:15:20the authorities. They closed the street for
00:15:24two and a half months. They kept
00:15:28people waiting for two and a
00:15:31half months. After that, someone came
00:15:34and gave us a paper saying that
00:15:38we had to pay the money within
00:15:41a week. By God, there is no electricity,
00:15:44and there is no hope. He threatened
00:15:47me because I am displaced, and
00:15:51the owner of my shop has cancer
00:15:54and lives in
00:16:00I can't pay. Who is going
00:16:02to pay for the electricity? Paving
00:16:06the streets of the area is a good
00:16:09thing, but it must be done
00:16:12legally and approved. Collecting money must
00:16:15be done legally, and Local Administration
00:16:19Law No. 107 does not allow
00:16:22any local administration to impose taxes
00:16:26except by a law from the
00:16:30Prime Minister. Collecting taxes in this
00:16:33way is incorrect. No one has
00:16:36the right to deprive someone of
00:16:39electricity. Today, I pay you
00:16:43money for this asphalt, and
00:16:46it is known all over the
00:16:49world that this matter is intentional.
00:16:52Even Al-Bab has other projects.
00:16:56These projects were paid in installments
00:17:00over a year and a half,
00:17:03but today you cut off the
00:17:06electricity, you cut off my
00:17:10livelihood. I am one of those
00:17:14who paid against my will because
00:17:28my electricity.
00:17:31won't charge you unless you pay
00:17:35I paid, and
00:17:58there are no problems, but I'm
00:18:01not an owner. My neighbors, the
00:18:04tenants, 20% of the tenants
00:18:08are for God. Leave the shops
00:18:11alone. First, the street was closed
00:18:15for two months. Second, they did
00:18:18illegal things, so they linked
00:18:21the asphalt issue to the electricity
00:18:23issue, and electricity was cut off
00:18:27from citizens. This is a right
00:18:29for citizens. No
00:18:34entity is allowed to link a
00:18:37tax to a service in exchange
00:18:41for a service provided to him.
00:18:43The second point is that the
00:18:47asphalt issue, according to Syrian laws,
00:18:50allows 25% of the cost of
00:18:54asphalted streets to be collected. This
00:18:57is distributed 12.5% to each side.
00:19:00The problem is that the estimated
00:19:04values of the asphalt that were
00:19:07placed on commercial
00:19:21shops are many times the considered
00:19:24costs. For example, in Aleppo and
00:19:28Azaz, no asphalt value is taken,
00:19:31except in the
00:19:33city of Al-Bab,
00:20:18of course. They considered it 100%
00:20:22or more. We were affected for
00:20:26three months. After they finished the asphalt,
00:20:30a week that they wanted about 670 from
00:20:34each shop per
00:20:39meter, 190
00:20:40dollars for asphalt.
00:20:50What did you
00:20:50put? There is
00:20:54no committee to
00:20:59you put or
00:21:08anything. Why this? Then,
00:21:12we didn't pay. We went to
00:21:15charge the electricity card, and they
00:21:19said you can't charge it unless
00:21:23you go to the municipality and
00:21:27get a clearance from the municipality
00:21:30that you paid. Well, I don't
00:21:34have that amount. Well, I'm forced.
00:21:37I've been affected for three months.
00:21:41They don't know this. Oh God,
00:21:45no one but you, Oh God,
00:21:48Oh God. Families of detainees
00:21:51who were transferred to Iraq organized
00:21:55a protest in front of the
00:21:59Iraqi embassy in Damascus, demanding
00:22:02to know the fate of their
00:22:06relatives. They were transferred
00:22:08to Iraq.
00:22:13We are
00:22:16and we ask you to feel
00:22:20for the mothers and fathers.
00:22:23Around 600 prisoners, including
00:22:26Syrians, continue their hunger strike
00:22:29and refusal of medication in Roumieh
00:22:32prison and several other prisons
00:22:36for the 30th consecutive day,
00:22:39protesting the suspension of the implementation
00:22:43of the general amnesty law. The
00:22:46prisoners' spokesperson said that the
00:22:50number of critical health cases among
00:22:54the strikers increased to 75
00:22:57cases, adding that two
00:23:00of the strikers in Roumieh prison
00:23:19were transferred to the hospital after
00:23:22their health deteriorated. The Lebanese Initiative
00:23:25for General Amnesty criticized the position
00:23:29of the Lebanese Judges Club on the amnesty law,
00:23:33considering that its use of the
00:23:36term "assumed injustice" involves trivializing
00:23:40the suffering of prisoners. The initiative
00:23:43pointed out in a statement that
00:23:46the Parliament approved the general amnesty
00:23:50law within the framework of its
00:23:52legislative powers and that the
00:23:56law enjoys wide
00:23:58political, human
00:24:02rights, and humanitarian support. It stressed
00:24:06that respecting the independence of the
00:24:08judiciary does not mean ignoring
00:24:12the will of the legislative authority.
00:24:15Heavy rains that fell hours ago
00:24:18caused significant damage to some
00:24:22camps in Idlib, where displaced people
00:24:25documented the conditions of their tents
00:24:29in the Barisha area in the
00:24:32province's countryside. The Syrian General
00:24:35Organization for Ports and Customs announced
00:24:39the completion of maintenance and repair
00:24:42works for
00:24:4323
00:24:48ships in Banyas port since the
00:24:51beginning of this year, including structural
00:24:54and mechanical repairs, engine maintenance,
00:24:58and technical equipment. In addition to
00:25:01technical modifications made to some
00:25:04ships, the Authority indicated that work
00:25:08continues to develop Banyas port, raise
00:25:12its operational readiness, improve its services,
00:25:15and provide the necessary facilities
00:25:18for the movement of ships and
00:25:22oil tankers, which supports maritime transport
00:25:25activity and contributes to serving the
00:25:29Syrian economy. The Central Bank
00:25:32of Syria implemented the first documentary
00:25:35credit for a deal to supply
00:25:38petroleum products with major international
00:25:41companies. The bank clarified
00:25:44that it concluded the first deal
00:25:46to supply petroleum
00:25:52products between the Syrian Petroleum Company
00:25:56and Saudi Aramco, which opens a
00:26:00new path for securing oil supplies
00:26:03to Syria through direct commercial
00:26:06and banking arrangements. The bank indicated
00:26:10that this development reflects the role
00:26:14of the Central Bank of Syria
00:26:17in preparing the
00:26:23necessary banking channels to finance strategic
00:26:26trade and coordinating documentary procedures with
00:26:30relevant parties. For its part, the
00:26:33Syrian Petroleum Company said that this
00:26:38for strengthening financing
00:26:43mechanisms for oil supplies and opening
00:26:47more efficient paths for commercial
00:26:51dealings. The Syrian pound
00:26:54recorded a new decline in the
00:26:57exchange market against the dollar and
00:27:00foreign currencies after it witnessed
00:27:03a rapid decline during the past
00:27:06period. The pound's price fell to
00:27:09141 against the US dollar,
00:27:12as a result of external and
00:27:16internal factors, including the repercussions of raising the
00:27:20prices of petroleum products.
00:27:22Syria TV monitored the opinions of
00:27:26residents in Damascus regarding the rise
00:27:29in the dollar exchange rate and
00:27:32its impact on prices, purchasing
00:27:35power of citizens, and its reflections
00:27:39on buying and selling in the
00:27:43markets. Today, the dollar
00:27:46has raised everything, the prices of
00:27:50food and essential daily necessities
00:27:54for citizens. We are a people
00:27:57who witnessed 14 years of war,
00:28:00and we need
00:28:03money to live. The price of
00:28:06electricity, water, and bread has increased.
00:28:10Now, the price of diesel and
00:28:13gasoline has increased, which has raised
00:28:16all prices. The citizen has nothing.
00:28:20We need the dollar price
00:28:23to fall so that people can
00:28:27live. Of course, the rise in
00:28:30the exchange rate
00:28:33is a bad indicator and has
00:28:37on the lives of citizens because
00:28:41everything has become expensive, fuel has
00:28:44become expensive, and all prices have
00:28:48become expensive. So, the citizen
00:28:52does not need more expensive
00:28:55prices. It's like
00:28:59today's price is something, and tomorrow's
00:29:03price is more expensive, and
00:29:07so on. This is really exhausting.
00:29:09I travel every
00:29:13now and then, meaning I come
00:29:16back every now and then, and
00:29:19I find prices
00:29:21expensive due to
00:29:29the rising dollar exchange rate. I
00:29:34situation improves. The exchange rate
00:29:37today has affected us a lot.
00:29:41For example, today you find an
00:29:44item
00:29:48and the next day we find
00:29:52it costs 25. Of course, today, an employee's salary
00:29:55is barely enough to cover a
00:29:59million or, for example, his
00:30:09income or salary is a million
00:30:12or a little more, but this
00:30:16is not enough today. How will
00:30:19the citizen live on what basis?
00:30:22We are tired now. As a
00:30:25citizen, I am a laborer.
00:30:28If I work,
00:30:33I eat. If I don't work,
00:30:36I don't eat. How can an
00:30:39employee, a driver, or a regular
00:30:42worker live? Of course, the exchange
00:30:46rate affects us. It affects us
00:30:50as clothes. For example, we
00:30:53used to bring
00:30:56goods at a certain price when
