00:08:52after a mine exploded in the village of Ma'izaliya
00:08:55in the Deir ez-Zor countryside. The correspondent said
00:08:58that two other girls were also injured in the
00:09:01same explosion, noting that those injured in the explosion
00:09:05are from one family. The correspondent indicated
00:09:09that the mine is a remnant of the war resulting from the overthrown
00:09:52The Civil Defense revealed
00:09:55the Badia and other areas were swept
00:09:59into relatively safe areas due to the rains
00:10:02and floods that hit various locations in the country during
00:10:05the past days, calling on civilians to avoid
00:10:09touching any strange object and to report it to the competent
00:10:13authorities. As a result
00:10:15of the recent and heavy rains that fell across all parts
00:10:18of Syria, we have formed massive floods
00:10:21and torrents, especially in the Badia areas, as we saw on social
00:10:25media clips or those that spread recently. These torrents may have
00:10:29swept war remnants and mines in their path. I hope
00:10:32that our civilian people and civilian sisters do not
00:10:36approach the paths of these torrents, even if they dry up.
00:10:39And do not hesitate to report in case you encounter any strange object, and we, God
00:10:43willing, will meet your services and your reports. Most importantly,
00:10:46the Raqqa Media Directorate announced
00:10:49the full and normal resumption of traffic
00:10:52on the Raqqa - Deir ez-Zor road after
00:10:56the completion of construction work on a water culvert adjacent
00:10:59to the Khneifis bridge and the preparation of the side
00:11:03passage allocated for vehicles. The Directorate
00:11:05explained that the Syrian Building and Construction
00:11:08Corporation completed the work yesterday evening,
00:11:12which allowed the resumption of traffic on the road completely
00:11:15after removing the obstacles that were
00:11:18affecting transport and travel between
00:11:22the two governorates.
00:11:29The Civil Defense reported the arrival of a reinforcement
00:11:32team from Aleppo to Raqqa to support search
00:11:35operations for a person swept away by floods from the Sillemani
00:11:39bridge area. This comes after the Raqqa Media
00:11:42Directorate announced the discovery of the body of one
00:11:45of the missing persons due to the recent floods that hit
00:11:49the governorate and other areas in the east of the country.
00:11:52Search operations continue for the second
00:11:55day in a row with the participation of teams from the Civil Defense
00:11:59and the Ministry of Defense. Asem Ghalyoun, Director of the Communications
00:12:03Department at the Ministry of Defense, said that the teams
00:12:06participating in search operations in Raqqa
00:12:10governorate and its countryside include units from the Naval
00:12:13Forces and Coastal
00:12:15Defense.
00:12:22In turn, the Minister of Emergency
00:12:25and Disaster Management, Raed Al-Saleh, said that the recent floods
00:12:29hit simultaneously an area exceeding
00:12:32one-third of Syria's area, adding that response
00:12:35efforts may not have been sufficient. Al-Saleh
00:12:39explained in a post on his X platform that the destruction
00:12:45infrastructure increased the difficulty of facing
00:12:48the disaster, stressing that the ministry's teams exerted
00:12:52their utmost efforts in cooperation with the Ministries of Interior
00:12:56early warning and emergency response
00:12:59to removing the effects of the floods
00:13:02and assisting those affected.

00:16:25Syrian studies concluded in the Syrian capital, Damascus,
00:16:29after three days of
00:16:33intellectual discussions, and intensive legal
00:16:36discussions. The event
00:16:40facing the country in the political transition
00:16:43phase since the overthrow of the former regime in late
00:16:462024.
00:16:59The forum was an intellectual event that featured cultural
00:17:02diversity, intellectual
00:17:10researches related to political, economic, social,
00:17:13and military issues, as well as transitional
00:17:16justice and reconstruction, which is currently the main
00:17:20concern for Syrians. There was also a focus on the zero-camp
00:17:24policy, recovery, and reconstruction issues, and the situation
00:17:27of refugees and sustainable return for our
00:17:31displaced brothers. The importance of this forum is that it is an executive
00:17:34tool that can be relied upon by the
00:17:37government to
00:17:40consider and adopt
00:17:43the future.
00:17:47The closing day of the sixth edition
00:17:51of the Annual Forum for Contemporary Syrian Studies witnessed
00:17:54the announcement of the results of a new
00:17:57survey of the Arab Index affiliated with the Arab
00:18:00Center for Research and Policy Studies, which monitors
00:18:04the trends of Syrian public
00:18:08a number of current issues and challenges.
00:18:1038% are skeptical that
00:18:14it stands at an equal distance. They say that we can
00:18:18say that the results of the index
00:18:21reflect the trends of Syrian public opinion
00:18:24and its positions on economic, social,
00:18:28and Syrian and political issues.
00:18:31And citizens in Syria, due to the difficult economic
00:18:34conditions they are going through, believe that the priority in
00:18:39economic, but that is
00:18:42only 42% because there are about
00:18:4633% who focused on major
00:18:49security and political issues concerning
00:18:52the Syrian state and Syrian society, such as the unity
00:18:55of Syrian territory, the building of the Syrian state, combating
00:18:59terrorism, so they balanced between
00:19:02major political issues and economic
00:19:06issues.
00:19:18A Lebanese ministerial delegation headed by Deputy
00:19:22Prime Minister Tariq Mitri held a series
00:19:24of discussions with their counterparts in the Syrian
00:19:28capital, Damascus. The Lebanese delegation included
00:19:31the Minister of Education and Higher Education, the Minister of Social
00:19:34Affairs, and the Minister of Labor, in addition
00:19:38to a technical delegation from the Ministry of Interior.
00:19:41Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani had received
00:19:45the Lebanese delegation at Tishreen Palace before the start of bilateral
00:19:48sessions between the ministers and their counterparts.
00:19:52The discussions are expected to cover issues of border
00:19:55control and crossings, combating drug smuggling,
00:19:58extremism, and regulating the situation of Syrians residing in
00:20:02Lebanon and facilitating the voluntary return of refugees.
00:20:05The visit also discusses issues of education, registration
00:20:09of births, and civil documents within the framework
00:20:12of enhancing cooperation and coordination between the two countries. And with me directly from
00:20:26Beirut, Mr. Tariq Abu Zainab, writer and political
00:20:29analyst. First, welcome Mr. Tariq. So, in your opinion, what
00:20:33is the importance of the Lebanese delegation's visit to Damascus today,
00:20:37and what are the most important issues that were discussed
00:20:40in the talks? Hello, Ms. Hiba, and hello to all
00:20:43viewers. In fact, yes,
00:20:47in fact, the importance of the Lebanese delegation's visit to
00:20:51sisterly Syria is in enhancing, meaning, the ability
00:20:54of the Lebanese state to manage its files
00:20:58with Syria through its official institutions, as
00:21:01the Lebanese citizen will certainly feel today,
00:21:04and the Syrian citizen, the success in the relationship
00:21:08between the two countries with the implementation of all these facilities.
00:21:12Of course, the issues that were raised today, and these
00:21:15are the issues that were previously discussed in previous
00:21:19visits and even in the meeting that was sponsored by the United
00:21:22Kingdom between Lebanon and Syria previously, the issue
00:21:26of Syrian refugees and safe return
00:21:29mechanisms and addressing the situation of residents in Lebanon was also
00:21:32discussed, as well as border control and regulating
00:21:35entry and exit and confronting illegal
00:21:39and irregular entry into Syria and Lebanon.
00:21:42Of course, the meetings today also touched on regulating
00:21:46Syrian labor and giving rights to Syrian workers as
00:21:50well. Educational issues and the recognition of Lebanese
00:21:53and Syrian certificates and coordination between the relevant ministries
00:21:57are also covered by the visit. There were meetings between
00:22:00Lebanese and Syrian ministers today, and I believe
00:22:03that after we followed what happened today
00:22:07between the Lebanese and Syrian delegations
00:22:10and their meetings, honestly, there were positive results
00:22:13regarding the talks, and these agreements will
00:22:17enter into force very soon. And of course,
00:22:20Lebanon will naturally benefit from its close relationship with
00:22:24sisterly Syria, especially
00:22:27reciprocity and respect for Lebanese and Syrian sovereignty,
00:22:33Lebanese internal affairs, because we know today, we see
00:22:36today, statements from the Syrian government and His Excellency President
00:22:40Ahmad Al-Shara on his keenness on
00:22:43non-interference in Lebanese affairs. Of course, we used
00:22:47to deal, the former Syrian regime used to deal with
00:22:51us with guardianship over Lebanon, and also with intelligence
00:22:54activities, and of course, as it treated
00:22:58the Syrian people with a hammer, as they say, and fire,
00:23:01the former Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad
00:23:05and Hafez al-Assad also treated the Syrian citizen
00:23:08very badly. Therefore, today, honestly, we are seeing
00:23:12today this important treatment and reciprocity
00:23:15from the Syrian state to the Lebanese state. This also reflects
00:23:20economically. This cooperation facilitates Lebanese exports
00:23:23and products through Syrian territory. Yes, you mentioned the point
00:23:27of results, and I wanted to ask you this question: will
00:23:31we really see effective steps and measures
00:23:34and quick results that reflect these visits, whether
00:23:37on the security and border level, or the return of refugees, or the situation of Syrians there,
00:23:41or Syrians detained in Lebanese prisons? Will there really be quick
00:23:44results? It is certain, my dear lady, because
00:23:48the delegation was large today, and of course, there were Lebanese ministers
00:23:51concerned with their ministries,
00:23:54and also, today, I believe
00:23:58that all these files have materialized, and they
00:24:01are moving towards happy endings, in my opinion,
00:24:04and their results will be felt by
00:24:07the Lebanese and Syrian peoples,
00:24:11level, something important is the cooperation today
00:24:14between Lebanon and Syria, and facilitating Lebanese exports
00:24:18and products through Arab markets
00:24:22through transportation and transit, and also giving Lebanon
00:24:26today privileges in the matter of introducing
00:24:29Syrian products into the Lebanese market. So, I believe that
00:24:33it will naturally reflect on the two
00:24:36peoples, and of course, it will be implemented, and I believe
00:24:39that these files and these agreements were signed
00:24:43and concluded today, so they will enter
00:24:47into force very soon, and also, the Lebanese government
00:24:50is very keen that dealing and interacting with the Syrian
00:24:54state be on an equal footing. Today, let's be realistic,
00:24:56today Lebanon naturally
00:25:00embraces
00:25:02Syrian displaced people or Syrian refugees, and also
00:25:05we today are linked by a common situation between the Lebanese
00:25:09people and the Syrian people, and there are social
00:25:12and family ties between the two peoples.
00:25:15Therefore, this sound relationship that should exist between the two
00:25:19peoples, today, of course, we are also seeing that when
00:25:22the foreign minister was on a previous visit to Lebanon and how he was received in Lebanon,
00:25:26a reception by His Excellency the President and a reception in
00:25:30Tripoli was like a wedding. Therefore, today the new
00:25:33Syrian state and the Syrian government, honestly, the Lebanese
00:25:37people look at all the Lebanese people with all their sects,
00:25:40especially today, official Lebanon, such as His Excellency the President
00:25:44of the Lebanese Republic and the Lebanese government, look forward to this
00:25:47brotherly relationship that we honestly did not used
00:25:50to in the previous Syrian relationship between the criminal
00:25:54former regime when it kidnapped from the Lebanese people
00:25:58Lebanese sovereignty. Today this government, the new Syrian government,
00:26:02thank you, for dealing with Lebanon
00:26:06honestly on an equal footing, and also
00:26:08for dealing with Lebanon as a state. Therefore,
00:26:12there is great progress, honestly, in the Lebanese-Syrian
00:26:15relationship, and I believe
00:26:18see it in the near future, very soon,
00:26:21with a very important impact, meaning, also today, when
00:26:25the issue of regulating births in Lebanon and in
00:26:28Syria, and the concerned ministries are the ones
00:26:32that the Syrian and Lebanese citizens turn to, I believe
00:26:35that today this will greatly facilitate, this will
00:26:39greatly facilitate for our
00:26:42and also for the residents. Today, let's not forget
00:26:46that today Lebanon has a large Syrian workforce,
00:26:49and Lebanon needs this workforce, on the one hand,
00:26:53for reconstruction, and on the other
00:26:56hand, for construction and agriculture and so on. Therefore,
00:27:00it is important to give rights
00:27:02to Syrian workers in Lebanon, and also to facilitate today
00:27:06that Lebanese people also have jobs
00:27:09and investments in Syria. Therefore, it is very important
00:27:13that this relationship be honest,
00:27:16that the relationship be on all levels, and it will certainly
00:27:19reflect positively on Lebanon economically, because Lebanon
00:27:23has no land crossing honestly except with
00:27:26Syria, because today in southern Lebanon there is an Israeli
00:27:29entity and borders with Palestine, and of course with the entity,
00:27:33and therefore there is only one passage
00:27:36in Lebanon, which is Syria. So, it is very important that the relationship
00:27:40be important, brotherly, on an equal footing
00:27:43between the two countries, honestly, and between the two peoples.
00:27:46I actually wanted to ask you about your assessment of Syrian-Lebanese
00:27:49relations, but you answered that yourself, and thank God
00:27:59course, some voices tried to distort this relationship,
00:28:03whether from Hezbollah or others, but believe me, the relationship
00:28:07between the Lebanese and Syrian brothers is, today,
00:28:09in Lebanon, in many houses, there are in-laws
00:28:13and relatives and a common situation between the two peoples.
00:28:17And of course, we are also seeing that security coordination
00:28:20is taking place, and the remnants of the former regime are being
00:28:24arrested, and also there is great security coordination between
00:28:29today, the prisoners in Roumieh prison were released.
00:28:33A large number of them were handed over to the Syrian authorities.
00:28:37Therefore, this important security coordination, honestly,
00:28:40is also great coordination at the highest levels, and also
00:28:43today, the Lebanese Minister of Interior
00:28:47is in full coordination with the Syrian Minister of Interior. Therefore, these
00:28:51relations that we will all work to, honestly, as journalists,
00:28:54and as media professionals, and as researchers, and as elites
00:28:58in societies, to be very strong, honestly,
00:29:01because the Lebanese people today have no brothers
00:29:04by their side except the Syrian people
00:29:17of the Republic, Mazloum Abdi, said that achieving stability
00:29:21in Syria requires the participation of the Kurds in state
00:29:24institutions, stressing the continuation of work to complete integration
00:29:28files, especially in the education
00:29:31and security sectors. Abdi added, according to Rudaw news agency,
00:29:35that the parties that tried to obstruct the integration
00:29:38process did not succeed in their endeavors,
00:29:41pointing out that the Kurdish issue has now
00:29:44been raised within state institutions with a clear
00:29:48will and identity. Abdi stressed
00:29:51the importance of political and administrative participation
00:29:54of the Kurds in the next phase. In the file of the missing,
00:29:58Abdi clarified that a specialized committee
00:30:00continues its work to uncover their fate and determine
00:30:04their whereabouts in parallel with efforts aimed
00:30:07at securing the safe return of displaced people to their
00:30:11areas.
00:30:40Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shaibani issued a decision
00:30:44to appoint Muzna Al-Atrash as a peace advisor
00:30:48in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Al-Atrash, who hails from
