00:01:27Owners of tourist and supply bakeries in particular
00:01:30are demanding a review of
00:01:33by a general strike in the recent decisions regarding licensing conditions, warning that
00:01:35the new measures may threaten
00:01:38sector and a strike in the closure of a number of bakeries and affect the availability of bread
00:01:41and employment opportunities for
00:01:43workers.
00:01:46Haj Mohammad monitors every detail himself,
00:01:50fearing for his livelihood after 70 years of stability
00:01:53in his bakery in Damascus, under what
00:01:56he describes as pressures
00:01:58labor unions in this threatening his source of income. We are private supply bakeries,
00:02:02we here feel that we are being fought for our livelihood.
00:02:06You get one violation, then a second, then a third. Instead of raising
00:02:09the ceiling of the violation, they come
00:02:13and threaten to close you down. Closing down means
00:02:1620 families with their children, their kids, their families, their fathers,
00:02:19their mothers. All these people are left without food, even
00:02:22though this is not just my responsibility.
00:02:25Youssef Al-Azma was martyred This worker is the responsibility of the state before it is my responsibility. A few days
00:02:28ago, I received a violation, and in three days, I paid 12 million
00:02:32Syrian pounds just to avoid closure. My
00:02:35license is 70 years old, meaning
00:02:38I wasn't licensed yesterday. If I had serious
00:02:42Saturday to continue pressure violations from 70 years ago until now, they would have closed me down 50 years
00:02:45ago. The threat does not stop at Abu Mohammad's bakery, as this
00:02:51in France. There is also a financial deficit tourist bakery also faces the risk defense ministers who of closure, but for other reasons, which are
00:02:55new regulatory conditions that threaten its old
00:02:58license and are impossible to apply on the ground, according
00:03:02squares after him. He represents to its owner. Today, a decision was issued by the Ministry of Supply and Economy
00:03:05that the tourist bakeries must correct their descriptions with their licenses
00:03:09in 3000 square meters, and this is unfair to us. Today,
00:03:12we have been here for 40-45 years and we have families
00:03:16working for us, about 10 workers
00:03:18in subways and trains and their families, and we are five or six young men and their families. This is not
00:03:21fair, and the required area today to meet these
00:03:24specifications is very, very, very high for us, and it does not apply
00:03:27in Damascus or even its countryside.
00:03:30between one point and another. The Craft Association for Bread Manufacturing also confirms
00:03:32the urgent necessity to reverse
00:03:35thousand people across the country these decisions to avoid risks that threaten hundreds of bakeries in Damascus
00:03:39and its countryside. So we ask the government to reconsider
00:03:43these decisions because these decisions
00:03:46are unfair to the bakery owner and the people in
00:03:49general. Today, the bakeries serve a wide
00:03:53segment of society. Despite what bakery owners describe
00:03:56as pressures, these production lines remain steadfast
00:04:00until this moment, amid serious concerns of
00:04:03their imminent cessation if solutions are not found.
00:04:09complete. On The official authorities see this renewal as regulating the bread manufacturing sector, but
00:04:12it negatively affects hundreds of bakeries

00:04:18this renewal a constriction that may harm

00:05:00of walnuts and buying activity regain
00:05:04their momentum with the
00:05:06of thousands of early morning hours. The activity is not limited
00:05:10here in Paris, was called to the residents of the area, as traders from different
00:05:16regions come to the market to sell in their governorates'
00:05:19markets. No one knows how old the market is, 100, 200 years,
00:05:23more or less, no one knows. Our market starts at 5:30
00:05:26AM. People pray Fajr and then go down to the market, and then
00:05:29they come to the rest of the governorates. All the people come here, and we have farmers who all

00:05:57of the quality that suits them and the price that fits
00:06:00their budgets.
00:06:03We come to the walnut market during the Makdous season. Now, it's the Makdous season,
00:06:06so we take local Makdous walnuts from here. The local ones
00:06:09taste better and are better than the Chinese and American ones.
00:06:12We're used to this old market, which is more than
00:06:15150 years old. We've been buying walnuts from our father's place, and our children,
00:06:19God willing, will buy from here too. The walnut
00:06:22journey begins with the harvest, then moves to
00:06:25homes where skilled hands prepare
00:06:28it using traditional methods. It's a journey
00:06:32that summarizes the story of a crop associated with
00:06:35the local cuisine, preserved by traditions
00:06:38of preparation from generation
00:06:41to generation. For generations, the walnut market in

00:15:04casualties. Returning to France,
00:15:08Elaph Qaddah, Syria TV correspondent from Paris, joins us. Welcome
00:15:12Elaph. With the ongoing protests in France, what
00:15:15is the scene
00:15:19near Place de la Nation, where the demonstration
00:15:23that started from Place de la République in the center
00:15:26of Paris has arrived. This demonstration,
00:15:29in which tens demonstrators participated
00:15:35for by labor and student unions and the Yellow
00:15:38Vests. Of course, the total number reached about 70,000
00:15:42across most of France. There were similar
00:15:45demonstrations in Lyon, Marseille, Lille, and Bordeaux.
00:15:49These demonstrations aimed, Mohammad, to put
00:15:52more pressure on the French government to implement
00:15:55a quick response to the legitimate demands,
00:15:58according to President Macron, regarding the rise
00:16:02in the cost of living and the significant inflation
00:16:05affecting the country, as well as the rise in fuel
00:16:09prices and the demand for wage increases for
00:16:12workers and employees, as well as what is related to
00:16:16high schools and the demands of high school students
00:16:19regarding improving the service
00:16:22in public schools. Of course, today,
00:16:25more than 260 demonstration points were recorded
00:16:28across most of France. As we mentioned, there were many
00:16:32demands during these demonstrations. Up to this moment, I have been monitoring the demonstration
00:16:36since its beginning, and I have not seen any riots or acts of violence between
00:16:40some demonstrators and police officers.
00:16:43However, the Ministry of Interior also spoke of the presence of between
00:16:47400 and 600 members of far-left organizations who usually
00:16:51incite riots. However, up to this moment, according to my observations,
00:16:55I have not seen any acts of vandalism
00:16:58previous demonstrations during the past month. Of course,
00:17:02today, Mohammad, is Thursday, a working day, not a holiday
00:17:06in France. Therefore, the demonstrations were also accompanied
00:17:11many sectors, with a partial strike in the transport
00:17:15hospitals and in schools
00:17:19and universities. There were also some
00:17:23strikes by teachers. The Ministry of Education stated that
00:17:2616% of teachers announced their strike, in addition
00:17:29to the participation of some government
00:17:33employees and, as we mentioned,
00:17:36general strike here in France. All these
00:17:39details come in an attempt to pressure the French government
00:17:43to implement the demands of the demonstrators.
00:17:46Of course, the French Prime Minister's Office announced the formation of a crisis cell
00:17:49to follow up on these demonstrations and also to find solutions
00:17:53for labor unions and also solutions for student
00:17:57unions in the coming period. However, the overall
00:18:00picture, Mohammad, is that there is still great popular anger in France
00:18:04due to the government's lack of significant response. We saw
00:18:07in these demonstrations a large participation of officials and representatives
00:18:11of French leftist parties. Therefore,
00:18:15there is also a call for subsequent demonstrations next
00:18:19on the government to implement these demands in light
00:18:23of the financial deficit affecting the country here
00:18:28in the budget and difficulty for the Prime Minister's Office to implement
00:18:32the demands of the French people. Therefore, these demonstrations
00:18:35will continue next Saturday and perhaps there will also be
00:18:39subsequent demonstrations in the coming weeks. So,
00:18:42there is now a disruption in public transport and facilities
00:18:46and the Eiffel Tower and so on, right?
00:18:49Yes, exactly. There is some disruption or partial
00:18:53strike in some public transport
00:18:55and also in buses, but not all public transport
00:18:59has been halted. There are some public transport
00:19:02that have been agreed upon to facilitate the movement of demonstrators
00:19:07There is also a partial strike, as we mentioned, in hospitals
00:19:11with emergency services remaining open, and a perhaps
00:19:15larger strike in schools and universities. There
00:19:18is talk that more than 90% of French universities
00:19:22are closed today, either administratively or by
00:19:25students. Also, there is a closure of some
00:19:29major tourist attractions in France, in line with
00:19:32this general strike in France, most notably, as you mentioned,
00:19:35the famous Eiffel Tower here
00:19:39in the center of Paris. Thank you, Elaph Qaddah, Syria
