00:00:10Maya Hashem, Syria TV correspondent, joins us from Beirut.
00:00:13Maya, welcome. So, the end of the open hunger
00:00:16strike in Al-Masjid
00:00:19after 30 days since the start of this
00:00:22strike. Tell us
00:00:25more details about this topic,
00:00:29Maya.
00:00:34Yes, Furat. Indeed, the Constitutional Council rejected the appeal against
00:00:38the general amnesty law with the amendment to some articles in
00:00:41the general amnesty law, so this law becomes effective
00:00:44and also applicable for progress
00:00:48and implementation, but this did
00:00:51not come and was
00:00:53after decades of its presence in
00:00:53and farms and is limited to not welcomed by a large number of
00:00:54areas that do not prisoners in Rumiyeh prison and outside Rumiyeh prison
00:00:57who are on hunger strike
00:01:00from medicine. Nevertheless, it was announced that
00:01:03the strike would be stopped and thus move
00:01:07to a new phase, which is the announcement
00:01:10that the prisoners who are on hunger strike today
00:01:13and refusing medicine have entered a new phase, which is
00:01:17the phase of responding to the Constitutional Council.
00:01:20Therefore, this decision was not welcomed by a large number of
00:01:24prisoners because there is what is called a constitutional
00:01:29skill in reservation or an interpretive reservation made by the
00:01:32Constitutional Council. It was supposed to amend these articles in
00:01:35the Parliament, but the Constitutional Council rejected the appeal
00:01:39and also with the amendment of some
00:01:43articles. These articles are
00:01:47the world instead of originally, meaning the Parliament is authorized to adopt them according to
00:01:50the judiciary and not the
00:01:53and stories that Constitutional Council. However, there are a number of prisoners who will not benefit from this
00:01:56law and will not
00:01:59us and reduce benefit from the rejection of the appeal by the Constitutional Council. Despite
00:02:02the fact that a large number of prisoners will not benefit
00:02:06at all from the general amnesty law, including
00:02:10in the hearts, those
00:02:13the hearts, who have lawsuits for fighting and warring against the Lebanese army and security forces,
00:02:17a large number of these would have benefited from
00:02:20the reduction of prison sentences. Therefore,
00:02:23today, rejecting the appeal in this way, a large number of
00:02:28of more pottery prisoners will not benefit from the reduction of prison sentences.
00:02:31Consequently, the prison sentences
00:02:351977 for many prisoners will remain as they are. There is a reservation on
00:02:39many of the articles, but also, on the other hand, it will
00:02:43include drug users, not drug dealers,
00:02:46but those who use and promote
00:02:49drugs. In addition, approximately between 20
00:02:53and 4,000 people from
00:02:56and effort for prisoners in Lebanon, whether Syrian or
00:03:03and do not compromise tomorrow. Questions that Lebanese nationals, will benefit from the general amnesty law. Judicial procedures today are closer to implementation.
00:03:05In about half an hour, these articles will be published
00:03:09the best in in detail and this law will be activated
00:03:12so that it becomes effective
00:03:15and active, and the largest number of prisoners
00:03:19who will benefit from the statement published by a large
00:03:22number of prisoners who today
00:03:25announced the end of
00:03:28Aleppo, from the strike and the transition to a new phase.
00:03:31General amnesty law, but
00:03:38TV Radio is on addition to competition from they are still demanding that a large number will benefit, but what is called the interpretive reservation made by the Constitutional
00:03:41Council prevented a considerable number of prisoners from
00:03:45benefiting from this law. Yes.
00:03:49Thank you very much, Maya Hashem, Syria TV correspondent. You were
00:03:52with us from
00:03:53Beirut.

00:04:38classes today in all schools in the governorate. It explained that the decision
00:04:42comes due to the current weather conditions and to ensure the safety of
00:04:45students and teaching
00:04:47staff.
00:04:54Musab Al-Hant, Syria TV correspondent, joins us from Deir ez-Zor.
00:04:57Musab, so where has
00:05:00the dust storm that is hitting the eastern
00:05:04region in
00:05:05In every corner of this Syria reached?
00:05:09Greetings to you, Furat, and to our dear viewers.
00:05:11The storm, in fact, covered the governorate of
00:05:15Deir ez-Zor completely after the early morning hours and lasted
00:05:18for about three hours, during which visibility decreased
00:05:22to very low levels, almost disappearing in some
00:05:25areas, Furat, and caused injuries. That is,
00:05:28the storm caused minor injuries and limited
00:05:32health cases, while the Directorate of Education suspended
00:05:35school attendance in all of Deir ez-Zor governorate
00:05:39to ensure the safety of students amidst
00:05:42warnings of possible weather fluctuations during
00:05:46the coming days. Of course, the storm that started after
00:05:49dawn caused disruption of movement
00:05:53on some roads, with minor injuries recorded, including the injury of a man
00:05:56who was riding a motorcycle and was transferred
00:06:00to the National Hospital in Deir ez-Zor
00:06:04and received the necessary treatment. Also, some
00:06:08health cases related to asthma
00:06:11and difficulty breathing
00:06:14required transporting the injured
00:06:17to the hospital for
00:06:20medical care. Furat, also,
00:06:23the storm moved east towards areas in the countryside of
00:06:27Deir ez-Zor governorate, reaching the
00:06:30Syrian border with Iraq, according
00:06:33to the information we received. Of course, as it approached
00:06:379 AM, the storm began
00:06:40to recede from Deir
00:06:42ez-Zor. In view of these
00:06:46weather conditions that accompanied the storm, the Directorate of
00:06:49Education announced the suspension of school attendance in all of Deir ez-Zor
00:06:53governorate, in a step aimed at protecting
00:06:56students and reducing their exposure
00:06:59to the dangers of dust and reduced
00:07:03visibility. Also, traffic was very light in
00:07:06the streets of Deir ez-Zor until the storm receded and the residents returned
00:07:10to their work. Cars and pedestrians
00:07:13came out. The storm ended around
00:07:179 AM. There were previous warnings, Furat,
00:07:19about a month ago, from the
00:07:23Ministry of Emergency and Disasters, warning Deir ez-Zor,
00:07:26Raqqa, Al-Hasakah, and areas of Aleppo, warning of
00:07:29rainstorms accompanied by lightning
00:07:32and thunder, and that there might be severe windstorms
00:07:36and also dust storms hitting
00:07:38these areas. It told residents that those who live in high
00:07:42areas, on rooftops, should secure any
00:07:46object that might fly away, especially
00:07:49solar panels, unfastened water
00:07:53tanks, and if there are aluminum sheets or anything that
00:07:56the wind might take,
00:08:00to ensure the safety of the residents. Also, it urged the residents
00:08:04to take these warnings seriously, but
00:08:07I hear around me
00:08:10ambulances, perhaps
00:08:13the sound is clear and reached us clearly.
00:08:16Where, I mean, what is happening, and how
00:08:19long is this dust storm expected to last?
00:08:23Now, at about 9 o'clock,
00:08:27the dust has actually cleared. The storm has moved eastward
00:08:30to Al-Bukamal on the Syrian-Iraqi border. The ambulance
00:08:34is. We are now near the military
00:08:37bridge, the main crossing that separates the east and west
00:08:41of the Euphrates. Whenever there are ambulances going
00:08:44to those areas, bringing patients because the National
00:08:48Hospital is one of the largest hospitals in the city
00:08:51of Deir ez-Zor, it is about three to four
00:08:54kilometers away from here. I don't know what was
00:08:58inside this ambulance. Perhaps we will hear
00:09:02the news or know what the news is
00:09:05in the coming hours and at the top of the next hour.
00:09:08But in the whole governorate,
00:09:11what we heard from the Directorate of Emergency and Disasters in
00:09:15Deir ez-Zor and the Civil Defense, they told us that the storm
00:09:19will continue for perhaps two or three weeks. There might
00:09:22be a rainstorm accompanied by lightning and thunder, and also
00:09:26there might be strong winds, very heavy rains, and there might
00:09:30also be a dust storm. These weather forecasts predicted
00:09:33by the Syrian Meteorological Department might hit
00:09:36Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa, Al-Hasakah, and parts of
00:09:40Aleppo. Thank you very much, Musab. Al-Hant, Syria TV correspondent in Deir
00:09:44ez-Zor.
00:09:48In Idlib, heavy rains that fell last night caused
00:09:51significant damage to some camps in the governorate.
00:09:54Displaced people documented the conditions of their tents in the Barisha
00:09:57area in the countryside of Idlib governorate.
00:11:01Quneitra Governorate approved a 50% reduction in building
00:11:04permit fees in a number of border villages adjacent to the occupied
00:11:08Syrian Golan. The decision came under a memorandum of understanding signed
00:11:12by the governorate in cooperation with the Engineers Syndicate to include
00:11:1514 villages
00:11:19exceed 100 square meters, with the aim of
00:11:23alleviating the financial burdens on the residents and enhancing stability in the border
00:11:27areas amidst difficult living conditions and the continued
00:11:30Israeli violations, amidst calls to expand the scope
00:11:33of the decision to include the rest of the villages and towns
00:11:37of the governorate.
00:11:41President Ahmed Al-Shara affirmed that Syria will rely heavily on Syrian
00:11:45competencies who have gained experience outside the country
00:11:48and succeeded abroad, and sought to transfer the success
00:11:52experience to the inside, during his meeting with experts
00:11:56and Syrian specialists in the technology and innovation sector. Al-Shara
00:11:59said that Syria has many
00:12:02opportunities within its important geographical location and the absence
00:12:05of digital infrastructure, which allows benefiting from the latest
00:12:09advancements in
00:12:12relying on old infrastructure and replacing it at great cost. He pointed
00:12:15out that rebuilding from scratch represents an important opportunity
00:12:19for Syria. He also noted that digital infrastructure is linked
00:12:22to government institutions and reconstruction projects, including residential reconstruction,
00:12:25explaining that digital life is involved in
00:12:29various aspects of
00:12:30life.
00:12:35The General Organization for Social Insurance announced the launch
00:12:39of two new services for notification via short
00:12:42text messages as part of digital transformation efforts and to facilitate
00:12:46procedures for visitors. The organization explained that the first service
00:12:49targets business owners who have been warned and are defaulting on
00:12:53their payments for three months
00:12:57to alert them of the need to visit the organization and settle the financial
00:13:00liabilities owed by them. As for the second service, it includes
00:13:04self-insured subscribers subject to Ministerial Decision
00:13:07No. 778 for the year
00:13:102075 and who have defaulted on payment for
00:13:13six months, emphasizing that the step aims
00:13:17to improve the quality of services and save time
00:13:21visitors.
00:13:28Leather shoe manufacturing workshops in Aleppo face
00:13:31increasing difficulties due to rising production costs
00:13:35and competition from imported shoes, which puts artisans
00:13:38in front of challenges to continue their profession
00:13:41and preserve their
00:13:44workshops. Leather shoe manufacturing workshops in Aleppo are witnessing
00:13:48a sharp decline in a profession that the
00:13:50city has been known for for decades and employed hundreds of workshops and thousands of workers.
00:13:56Rising production costs, in
00:13:59imported products, put this industry in front of
00:14:03challenges that threaten its continuity. The difficulties we are
00:14:06suffering from are the same, nothing has changed. That is, electricity, high
00:14:10electricity prices. That is, in addition to that, we are adding
00:14:13amperes. And the labor force has become scarce because it doesn't
00:14:17pay workers. Wages are low, and if we raise wages,
00:14:20it doesn't pay for us. That is, goods are expensive.
00:14:24Everything is rising. Workers' wages have risen for them.
00:14:28They are still low. Workers' wages don't pay for them. That is,
00:14:31workshop owners link local price increases
00:14:34to rising costs of leather and raw
00:14:37materials, as well as workers' wages and electricity
00:14:41bills, amidst long power cuts
00:14:46contrast, markets are flooded with imported shoes from China
00:14:50and Turkey at lower prices, which led
00:14:53to a decrease in demand for local products despite
00:14:56their quality. After the liberation, I said my country
00:15:00is from another country. I brought my money, I brought my
00:15:03things. We came down here to open a business, and he told me from that
00:15:07time until now, it's a loss. The money I brought
00:15:10will run out. But the problem is, you bring a worker, he doesn't accept it.
00:15:14You bring expensive goods. You bring the piece to
00:15:17the merchant. The merchant says, "Brother, I have goods. I have
00:15:21goods that come from China cheaper than, cheaper than yours."
00:15:25So, this is the reason that is making the business go
00:15:29backwards. Traders believe that the demand for imported
00:15:32shoes is not only related to price, but
00:15:35also to their ability to achieve better profit, in addition
00:15:39to their diversity and availability at competitive prices
00:15:42that meet consumers' desires. Regarding
00:15:46foreign or national products, honestly,
00:15:49people, that is, according to their purchasing
00:15:51power, are asking, but most are asking for the Chinese
00:15:55piece for its quality, honestly, and the cleanliness
00:15:57of its work. The national piece is a little weak now
00:16:01regarding shoes. The quality of shoes is a little weak
00:16:04due to the scarcity of materials.
00:16:13With these challenges continuing,
00:16:16a number of artisans have been forced to close their workshops or leave the profession
00:16:20entirely, while the younger generation shies away from
00:16:23learning it, facing one of Aleppo's oldest
00:16:27crafts with the risk of decline
00:16:30local markets and competition with foreign
00:16:34products.
00:16:37The head of the Leather Craftsmanship Association in Aleppo,
00:16:41Hassan Kannas, explained to Syria TV the reasons for the closure
00:16:44of a large number of workshops in the city
00:16:47and demanded a reduction in customs duties on raw materials for
00:16:50artisans. The workshops closed their doors
00:16:54because of the Chinese product. They couldn't
00:16:57stand or compete with the Chinese product, of course.
00:17:01Our artisan, I told you, he has
00:17:06performance. But he lacks development.
00:17:10Only to develop his machines
00:17:12and keep up with fashion and follow fashion
00:17:15to keep up. He needs, he needs,
00:17:19he needs to go out, travel, and there should be external
00:17:23exhibitions to open external markets.
00:17:26Also, we have another
00:17:28aspect. We have raw materials.
00:17:31If the government would be kind to
00:17:36the customs duties on raw materials, and energy
00:17:40carriers are secured.
00:17:42An industrial city, for example, a craft cluster so that
00:17:46the individual can work and be gathered in one
00:17:50place. This is very important.
00:17:53Farmers in the Idlib countryside began the olive harvest season amid expectations
00:17:56of abundant production, as the percentage of tree
00:18:00yield is estimated at about
00:18:0125%.
00:18:07Under the shade of olive trees, Abu Ahmed turns
00:18:10its fruits between his hands, checking the degree of
00:18:14its ripeness in preparation for the start of the harvest season, which has been long
00:18:18awaited. The Sourani or Ma'ari, as
00:18:21it is known locally, is one of the most prominent varieties that Idlib
00:18:25is famous for, alongside other secondary varieties
00:18:28such as Abu Shawka, Annasasi, Zayti,
00:18:32and Shami, whose characteristics
00:18:34and uses differ.
00:18:37At the Jeddah conference in 1910,
00:18:40a decision was issued by the economic conferees that the city
00:18:44of Idlib is the world in terms of olive
00:18:48season, taste, quality, and production. It's a good season this
00:18:52year, thank God. Good olives.
00:18:55And there's production in the olives. And now, from now on, people will start
00:18:59harvesting olives, meaning usually at
00:19:02the beginning of late October,
00:19:05the olive harvest begins. So we are now starting to pick
00:19:09up the fallen olives and work according to the traditional methods in olive
00:19:12production. Harvest times vary
00:19:16between areas of the governorate depending on the type
00:19:19of olives, the degree of fruit ripeness, and the
00:19:21climatic conditions. Some fruits are allocated
00:19:24for table use, and others are transported to the presses.
00:19:28The Sourani is suitable for pickling and pressing simultaneously,
00:19:31while the Halabi or Majhoul is reserved
00:19:34for preparing provisions. Olive varieties. There are several
00:19:41Sourani. We, people, I mean, each region has
00:19:44its names. We call Halabi to make pickled
00:19:48olives for pounding, for pressing. This type that
00:19:50we are working with is suitable
00:19:54for pressing,
00:19:56exclusively.
00:19:59Some people sort, for example, from it types. Some people like to take
00:20:02some for provisions. They sort the green ones to take
00:20:06for provisions. They bring them down to
00:20:09Farmers describe this year's harvest as good
00:20:11compared to previous seasons,
00:20:15hoping that its improvement will reflect on their income
00:20:19to help them cover the costs of caring for the trees
00:20:22and harvesting. Amidst trees laden
00:20:26with their fruits, Idlib appears to be facing a
00:20:29bountiful season that promises good things. But
00:20:32an abundance of harvest does not necessarily mean greater
00:20:36profits for the farmer or lower prices
00:20:39for consumers. The season remains contingent
00:20:42on market developments. Alaf Al-Ali,
