00:02:30and coordination between
00:02:32the two countries.
00:02:41We are joined by Jad Fayyad,
00:02:44examination will have been released political analyst, from Beirut. Mr. Jad, welcome.
00:02:46First, the timing
00:02:50of this delegation's visit to Damascus and also
00:02:53its meeting with Foreign Minister Asaad
00:02:57Al-Shaybani, how do you interpret it?
00:03:00Greetings to you and the viewers. First, this visit is
00:03:03part of a series of visits by Lebanese or Syrian delegations
00:03:06to the other country in order to follow up on some outstanding
00:03:10issues, such as displacement files,
00:03:12Industrial and Handicraft Zones in Aleppo, and under the guidance of files related to the presence of a number of Syrians in Lebanon, and even some security
00:03:15files. In recent times, many attempts
00:03:19to smuggle across the Lebanese-Syrian border have been thwarted,
00:03:22and therefore, it seems that this file has resurfaced
00:03:26and is being reactivated again. It is worth noting
00:03:30that this meeting falls within this
00:03:34context, and there are essential files on the table, including
00:03:38the displacement file and what is related to border security,
00:03:41and I believe this is the most important point, perhaps not central to this
00:03:45meeting today, but it will be central later
00:03:48in the context of plans to dismantle
00:03:52that affected various locations in Hezbollah's weapons and control regional security in
00:03:53between farmers the region. Okay, Mr. Jad, today,
00:03:56what is the
00:03:58else, do not touch necessity for perhaps cooperation between Lebanon
00:04:01and Syria in many files, as you mentioned?
00:04:05Perhaps at the top of them is border control and combating drug
00:04:09smuggling, perhaps
00:04:11all areas, because at the top of them. Can effective solutions
00:04:14be found during this visit that could perhaps be implemented
00:04:18in the coming period in this
00:04:21framework? The importance of this coordination stems from two
00:04:24points. The first point is the presence of a large number of displaced Syrians in
00:04:27Lebanon. This number is decreasing as some
00:04:31displaced people return to their
00:04:33between the concerned institutions in country and villages in Syria, but there is still a large number that needs
00:04:36coordination, even administrative coordination related to identity documents and so
00:04:40on. However, regarding
00:04:43of them. the issue of borders and arms smuggling, I believe it is the most important point, as
00:04:47the Lebanese-Syrian borders were a primary smuggling route for
00:04:52delegation and a number of Hezbollah's weapons, and it is part of the road extending from Iran to Iraq, passing through Syria
00:04:58in cooperation with the Health Directorate operations continue for the sixth consecutive and Lebanon. This road or these borders have been largely controlled, but controlling
00:05:01Hezbollah's weapons effectively and starting
00:05:05the process of dismantling Hezbollah's weapons genuinely
00:05:08and imposing Lebanese authorities or extending
00:05:11Lebanese authorities' control over all Lebanese territories requires
00:05:15precise and complete control of the Lebanese-Syrian borders,
00:05:19and for this reason, Lebanon today needs to coordinate with
00:05:22Syria to control the borders. However, what we
00:05:26fear in Lebanon is the presence of some advisors, employees,
00:05:29administrators, some general directors, and some politicians
00:05:33in some departments and ministries, which
00:05:36belong to the era of the former regime and the
00:05:40fallen regime of Bashar al-Assad. There are some
00:05:44officials who do not want this cooperation to happen in order to continue
00:05:47smuggling weapons and drugs across the borders and so on. Naturally,
00:05:51these officials are linked to or close
00:05:54to the Iranian axis in the region and do not want any control of weapons or
00:05:58any control of borders. Thank you very much,
00:06:02Jad Fayyad, political
00:06:03analyst, from Beirut.
00:06:07The President's advisor, Mazloum Abdi, said that achieving stability in
00:06:11Syria requires the participation of Kurds in state institutions, stressing
00:06:15the continuation of efforts to complete integration files, especially in the education
00:06:18and security sectors. Abdi added, according to Rudaw
00:06:22news agency, that the parties that tried to obstruct the integration process
00:06:26did not succeed in their endeavors, indicating that the Kurdish
00:06:28issue has become on the table within state institutions
00:06:32with clear will and identity. Abdi stressed
00:06:35the importance of political
00:06:39the next phase. In the file
00:06:41of missing persons, Abdi said that a specialized committee continues its work
00:06:45to determine their fate and locate them,
00:06:48in parallel with efforts to ensure the safe return
00:06:52of displaced people to their areas.
00:07:06Foreign Minister Saad Al-Shaybani appointed Mozna Al-Atrash to the position
00:07:10of advisor for peace affairs at the ministry. According to
00:07:13SANA news agency, Al-Atrash has experience in community,
00:07:16humanitarian, and media fields, and
00:07:20holds a degree in theatrical arts and media.
00:07:23More details about Al-Atrash in the following article.
00:08:53The Civil Defense revealed that war remnants from the Badia
00:08:57and other areas were washed into relatively safe areas
00:09:00as a result of the rain and floods
00:09:04the country during the past days, calling on
00:09:07civilians to avoid touching any strange object and to report
00:09:11it to the concerned authorities. As a result of the recent
00:09:14and heavy rains that fell across all parts of Syria,
00:09:17massive floods and torrents formed, especially in the desert
00:09:21areas, as we saw in the social media clips or what spread
00:09:24recently. These torrents may have swept away war
00:09:28remnants and mines. I hope that our civilian people
00:09:32and our civilian brothers and sisters do not approach the courses of these torrents, even if they
00:09:35dry up. And do not hesitate to report in case
00:09:39of encountering any strange object, and we, God willing, will respond to your services, respond
00:09:42to your reports, and the most important thing is to stay in good health
00:09:45and safety. The Civil Defense reported
00:09:49that a support team from Aleppo arrived in Raqqa to support search
00:09:53operations for a person swept away by the floods from the Al-Salmani
00:09:56Bridge area. This comes after the Raqqa Media Directorate announced
00:10:00the discovery of the body of one of the missing persons due to the recent floods that hit
00:10:04the governorate and other areas in eastern the country. Search
00:10:09day with the participation of teams from the Civil Defense
00:10:13and the Ministry of Defense. The Director of the Communications Department at the Ministry of Defense,
00:10:17Asem Ghalioun, said that the teams participating in search operations
00:10:21in Raqqa governorate and its countryside include units from the
00:10:25navy and coastal
00:10:26defense.
00:10:33In turn, the Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management, Raed Al-Saleh, said that the recent
00:10:37floods simultaneously hit an area
00:10:40exceeding a third of Syria's area, adding that response
00:10:44efforts may not have been sufficient. Al-Saleh explained in
00:10:47a post on X that the destruction left by the ousted regime in the infrastructure
00:10:51increased the difficulty of facing the disaster,
00:10:55stressing that the ministry's teams exerted their utmost efforts
00:10:58in cooperation with the Ministries of Interior and Defense,
00:11:01starting from early warning and emergency response to
00:11:05removing the effects of floods and assisting
00:11:07those affected.
00:11:17We are now joined by Musab Al-Hant, Syria TV correspondent from Deir
00:11:20Ezzor, to learn more details about this
00:11:23matter. So, Musab, the drifting of war
00:11:27remnants to relatively safe areas due to the storms
00:11:30we witnessed, the floods, and what
00:11:34the governorates, especially if we talk about Raqqa and Deir
00:11:38Ezzor, as well.
00:11:41Where did these remnants go, and from where did they move,
00:11:51and war remnants still pose a threat
00:11:56the eastern region of Syria, especially in Deir
00:12:00Ezzor Governorate, which witnessed long years of military
00:12:03operations and battles and left behind vast
00:12:08mines and unexploded
00:12:11ordnance. Some of them have been discovered, Furat, and dealt
00:12:14with, while other locations remain unknown
00:12:17under the ground, posing a deferred
00:12:20threat to the lives of residents.
00:12:23Let me talk about shepherds, farmers,
00:12:26children, truffle collectors,
00:12:30Syria who paid a heavy price for this danger. Hundreds of
00:12:33Deir Ezzor residents lost their lives or were injured due to explosions of mines, ordnance,
00:12:37and war remnants in incidents that sometimes occurred during their daily work or movement in
00:12:42areas. Of course, with the recent wave of rains and
00:12:45floods, concerns are renewed
00:12:51danger to new areas, Furat. The mines
00:12:54in the countryside of Deir Ezzor have
00:12:57been detected by engineering teams, but there are dozens
00:13:00of fields, according to the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management, that have not yet been cleared,
00:13:04according to the Minister of Emergency and Disaster Management, more than half a million contaminated
00:13:08points in Deir Ezzor. So,
00:13:11the fear of these mines and remnants
00:13:14moving to new areas, especially after
00:13:17the warnings issued by the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster
00:13:21Management and Civil Defense teams about the possibility of these
00:13:24remnants or these mines drifting from areas to
00:13:27inhabited areas, from areas that are vast expanses in the desert, valleys,
00:13:31or others. We saw
00:13:34when the weather cooled down in Deir
00:13:37Ezzor Governorate, and we headed to the affected points, large
00:13:41floods and fast-flowing waters. Certainly, according
00:13:44to the Ministry of Emergency and Disaster Management and Civil Defense teams, these floods
00:13:48may have swept away mines or
00:13:50strange objects or war remnants that did not explode.
00:13:54They may have reached populated areas or
00:13:57main roads, whether secondary or main, that
00:14:01the people of Deir Ezzor pass through. From here, the warnings from the Ministry of Emergency
00:14:05and Disaster Management and Civil Defense teams were issued. The most important
00:14:08warnings, Furat, are that
00:14:11people should be warned that if anyone sees
00:14:15any strange object,
00:14:17iron, a mine, an object similar to a bomb or something
00:14:23it, do not approach, and report
00:14:27to the nearest Civil Defense center or the nearest Emergency and Disaster
00:14:31center to deal with these objects, or also the army forces present in
00:14:36in fact, the people of Deir Ezzor have lost tens
00:14:39of them, even hundreds of their lives, as a result of tampering
00:14:43with these remnants. Sometimes children
00:14:46playing in a place find a strange object and bring
00:14:50it home. We have seen many cases in Deir Ezzor city and in the countryside of Deir Ezzor
00:14:53in general. Thank you very much, Musab
00:14:56Al-Hant, Syria TV correspondent in Deir
00:14:58Ezzor.
00:15:03In this context, the Raqqa Governorate Electricity Company announced
00:15:06the return of electricity to the entire city
00:15:10after its interruption due to the severe weather that
00:15:13affected the region. The company stated on its Facebook
00:15:17page that the fault that affected the high-voltage line feeding
00:15:20from the dam station towards the equestrian station
00:15:23has been repaired, stressing that its technical
00:15:27staff continues to monitor the electricity grid
00:15:30to ensure stable supply.
00:15:44Occupation forces released two individuals they had
00:15:47kidnapped from the village of Kweia in the Yarmouk Valley
00:15:51in the countryside of Daraa and from the village of Al-Hurriyah in the countryside of Quneitra.
00:15:54Our correspondent stated that a force belonging to the occupation
00:15:58infiltrated Wadi Al-Raqad in the countryside of Daraa, while
00:16:01another force consisting of seven military vehicles infiltrated
00:16:05the village of Al-Samadaniya Al-Gharbiya in the countryside
00:16:08of Quneitra. This comes amid the occupation forces
00:16:11placing warning signs against the movement of more
00:16:15than three cars in a single convoy in the central
00:16:18countryside of Quneitra, threatening to target
00:16:21them and endanger the lives of civilians, at a time when
00:16:27southern
00:16:27Syria.
00:16:34In a new step imposed by the Israeli occupation forces in southern
00:16:38Syria, they are shifting from incursions, violations, and indiscriminate
00:16:43movement and transportation amidst threats to target any
00:16:47convoy consisting of more than three vehicles.
00:16:51On the outskirts of the villages and towns of Al-Samdaniya Al-Gharbiya, Ras
00:16:56the central countryside of the governorate, the occupation forces posted
00:16:59road signs warning civilians against moving
00:17:02in convoys of more than three vehicles, threatening to target
00:17:06them and endanger
00:17:08their lives. The placement of warning
00:17:11signs coincided with digging and bulldozing operations carried out by the occupation
00:17:15forces in the Al-Maakar area near the Tal Abu Al-Ghaythar
00:17:18gate in the southern Quneitra countryside.
00:17:21These steps
00:17:23come at a time when the Israeli occupation forces continue
00:17:28territory, from incursions and indiscriminate shelling
00:17:32to killing civilians, as Syria TV's correspondent
00:17:35documented 307
00:17:38violations by the Israeli occupation forces during last
00:17:41October in the countryside of Quneitra, Daraa,
00:17:44and Damascus, where he pointed to the diversity of violations between
00:17:48incursions, detention of Syrian citizens, shelling,
00:17:51killing, and Israeli airspace.
00:17:55The occupation's persistence in its escalating steps in southern
00:17:59Syria and the continuous restriction of the movement
00:18:02of Syrian civilians raise questions
00:18:06about the essence of what it seeks. And about the steps it wants
00:18:09to achieve in the coming days.

00:25:06center for the Ministry of Industry so that they are able
00:25:10to manage the data center
00:25:13and install or update all systems and support
00:25:16the process of modernization and digital transformation.
00:25:20The main goal, frankly, is to provide appropriate and advanced
00:25:23infrastructure, in addition to providing
00:25:27consultations and also providing technical
00:25:31and technological support and knowledge transfer. There will also be an exchange
00:25:34of experiences, whether with neighboring countries or foreign
00:25:38experiences in the process of company
00:25:40registration.
00:25:44Al-Basar International Foundation,
00:25:48in Raqqa, continues to implement a medical campaign to perform
00:25:52400 eye surgeries at the National Hospital,
00:25:55aiming to provide medical and treatment services to
00:25:58patients and alleviate their financial burdens.
00:26:12Of course, the campaign is being implemented by Al-Basar International Foundation in cooperation with the Health
00:26:16Directorate in Raqqa. The campaign targets 400
00:26:19cases. We perform cataract removal using the phaco technique, which is an advanced technique
00:26:22with lens implantation. The goal of the campaign is to alleviate financial burdens
00:26:26because a large number of patients are unable to receive medical
00:26:29assistance, so we prevent the occurrence of complications, and the patient
00:26:33does not delay the surgical operation. Of course, the campaign
00:26:36targets, as we mentioned, 400 cases. Today we performed 100,
00:26:40and God willing, we will continue until the end of the campaign.
00:26:42We went to Damascus
00:26:47for my mother to undergo surgery, and the cost was
00:26:50expensive, along with travel expenses. It cost about 6-7
00:26:53million. We came here, registered, and the situation
00:26:57is better here, meaning it's closer to home, and the staff
00:27:00are good.
00:27:03And we hope that there will be other services besides eye
00:27:07care, such as cardiology and other specialties for children
00:27:10and general surgery.
00:27:16The Aleppo Governorate reopened the flour mill and grain
00:27:19silos in the city of Tal Rifaat after a 14-year
00:27:23hiatus, following the completion of its rehabilitation
00:27:26works in cooperation between the Syrian General Establishment for Grains
00:27:30and the Shifaa and Global Communities organizations. SANA
00:27:33quoted the director of the Syrian General Establishment for Grains branch
00:27:37in Aleppo, Mahmoud Abu Bakr, as saying that the storage
00:27:40capacity of the silos is 12,000 tons,
00:27:43and it is scheduled to start receiving wheat crops from
00:27:47farmers in the region starting from the next season.
00:27:51Abu Bakr explained that the rehabilitation of the silos aims
00:27:55to increase the storage capacity for wheat crops and reduce
00:27:58their transportation costs, while the resumption of the flour
00:28:02mill's operation is expected to contribute
00:28:05bread production in the
00:28:12region. The Directorate of Industrial and Handicraft
00:28:16Zones in Aleppo Governorate closed nine
00:28:20denim washing workshops due to their violation of environmental
00:28:25on burning used tires in
00:28:30In Aleppo, the Aleppo Governorate
00:28:33issued a decision to seal nine denim washing facilities in
00:28:37Al-Shaqif area due to many complaints
00:28:41received against the owners of these facilities, as they operate used
00:28:44tires in their furnaces for almost two months. The Aleppo Governorate also
00:28:47issued a circular prohibiting the entry of used tires,
00:28:51but the industrialists did not comply with this circular and smuggled
00:28:54tires into Al-Shaqif area. Of course, operating
00:28:57furnaces with these tires, whether used tires
00:29:00or plastic waste, pollutes the air
00:29:04and causes great harm to citizens and
00:29:07to textile factories and food
00:29:11factories in a big way. We, as the Directorate of
00:29:15the Governor, are facilitating procedures significantly
00:29:17for industrialists, but not at the expense of citizens' health
00:29:21and not at the expense of pollution that harms the residents
00:29:24of Aleppo
00:29:25city.
