this historic us court case reaches a conclusion. june on july i this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm barbara sarah. this is the, i'll just do a news our live from london. thank you for joining us. coming up in the next 60 minutes. how mass warns of a bigger war if israel violates the alex, i'm off warning that jerusalem and the holy sites are red line. this made new tensions in occupied east jerusalem, where more palestinian families are fighting efforts to forcibly evict them from their home. shall in order to more than double its planned carbon emissions cuts in

a ruling with major implications for energy firms around the world. last, when the public needs is most the government failed. or johnson, former chief advisor brands name on fit for the job thing. tens of thousands that died needlessly because the u. k. government mishandled as a pandemic. and i'm devin ashley for the final between manchester and i had him via has gone into extra time with the score at one o last 9 minutes plus the growing pressure council to take your taxes now coming from an official partner of the games. ah, the leader of her masters, political wing and gaza says a much larger conflict could break out in the future if the underlying issues between israel and palestinians are not resolved. yet. he has seen war also told

journalists that offers from the us to fund rebuilding and gaza without benefiting her math. was nothing but a trick to divide palestinians while there's be more tension in occupied east jerusalem protest broke out outside and is really court hearing the case of 6 palestinian families under threat of being forcibly expelled from their homes in c one and america's top diplomat hand to the blinking has visited egypt and jordan, the last stops on his tour to cement the cease fire between israel and ham f. well, gaza is facing a massive rebuilding effort. after more than a 1000 homes were destroyed in the 11 day conflict. this is one of hundreds of buildings which were damaged beyond repair and will have to be demolished. it sank a meter into the ground after a near miss from an israeli missile, from gaza. harry force it has one. here on the street you get an idea of the long

term nature of the fall out of this war 44 people died in this massive building collapse. and now 2 other buildings on the street. one of them right here behind us had been declared structurally unsound their inhabitants had been told to leave. now this was the 1st day that we've heard from houses top leader inside garza ya soon was in a news conference that was on the record. but frustratingly for the most part off camera, he was interesting on the issue of reconstruction saying suggestion by the secretary of state of united states as need lincoln, that any reconstruction efforts coming through the u. s. or its allies should evade hum us and be done through the palestinian authority in the occupied west bank soon while said that was a trick to try to divide the palestinian people further. however, he also said that any reconstruction would be welcome, that hamas would not take a single penny of it on the issue of the seas far, he confirmed that it was on condition. nobody wanted more to be done by the

international community to reign in the activities of israel in jerusalem on the alex the most compound and in shakespeare, and occupied eastern them. in particular, here with some of his recorded remarks that he began the news conference with me, i hope will not only want if the whole world doesn't need to stop and put a limit to the practices of the occupation and alex, a mosque shake gera, and the holy city in general, it will be a reason to ignite a big religious war in the region and bring in a state of worry and widespread chaos in the middle east. and the whole world was israel says the large number of civilian deaths here on the street was an accident that it was targeting military tunnels on the ground here. since says that there are new military tunnels of that nature in this location. and so denies that he also challenges the israeli narrative about what took place on the 4th night of the war. up in north western garza, there was a fake ground invasion attempted by israel. he said that was an obvious fake. they

knew it was coming, that they did not allow any fighters to go underground and that they got the other ones who were in the tunnels out saying that there was 0 deaths from that attack. now israel says dozens were killed. he also said that we were here the media to verify exactly what was taking place. so i asked him if we could go to those tunnels, see the military damage for ourselves in his words, to verify what had happened. he said he'd get back to us. meanwhile, and his really court has joined the decision on the 4th, the victim of palestinians in occupied east jerusalem. 6 families in the c one district or at risk of losing their homes. this comes less than 3 weeks after a similar case and shake gera, helped to spark the recent escalation and violence in run con reports now from occupied east jerusalem. the more use of force by israeli police on the streets of occupied he's truthful and outside the district court protest. as we show the move

behind the security barrier. inside the court heard the case of 6 families living in 2 houses on the threat of forced expulsion from their homes in the nearby. so one neighborhood, israeli settlers, a jews own the property, pre the creation of the state of israel. and since the states came into being previous property rights are null and void, the judge postpone the hearing, saying he would seek further legal advice. the lawyer for the family says despite the fact that palestinians have little faith in the legal system, representation in israeli court is crucial. we don't have the luxury engage in as lawyers. we have families. the families are at risk of eviction. we wish we had international people, not that we could go to and that international people, not dodge to get the case. but since the cases are being filed to court, we cannot leave this field without any response from our site. outside the court,

a protest is made clear they see the fullest explosions as the legal. so as you can see, emotions are very high. the police move to protest behind that barrier. i just take a look at humanity. take crazy over all limits the message really need to be gotten rid of a policy. didn't need this one and the neighborhood does that. the center of the court case chi, it is a member of one of the families fighting to keep their home. they were forced out by the state of israel from their home in the old city in 1965. and we'll re housed here. he can't fall a court case to get his old home back. and now he might lose this one. and i don't believe in the israeli a legal system because in 1967, our house was confiscated in the old city. if there's any justice in the course, they should return that home to us. when the settlers come,

our life becomes miserable. they arrest our kids, they harass our women, and our elders. and life is just hard all of the houses on this narrow street or in the threat. the court postponement has brought them some breathing space and they can remain for now. but for how long? those who live here don't know him on con, audi 0. so one occupied east jerusalem was you heard us secretary said anthony, blinking has been in jordan working to strengthen the ceasefire between israel at last in gaza. lincoln is seeking to rally regional support for the fragile truce, which ended 11 days of conflict. he's met king a bill or the 2nd who welcome to the biden administration's decision. to reopen the u. s. consulate in occupied east jerusalem. my conversation with his majesty touched on again a range of topics including the urgent work we need to do together to meet you mandatory and reconstruction needs and gaza while ensuring that the palestinian

people not a mos benefit from this assistance. we discuss jordan's essential role as a custodian of muslim holy places and the importance of preserving the historic status quote at your islam totally sites. jordan also plays a vital role in the west bank. the u. s. re engages with the palestinian people and reopens are constantly in jerusalem. we'll have a lot of work to do together as well. well, earlier blinking was in egypt which broker the ceasefire. he held talks with president of the father of c. c. and said the 2 countries working together to lead israelis and palestinians live in safety and security. coming out on this news hour from london defiant president lucas shank says he was protecting his people when he diverted a passenger plane to bela ruth to arrest the journalists. and another must shooting in the us. the people are killed that a transport yard in san jose, california. ah,

the energy giant show says it will appeal after it was ordered to more than double its carbon emission cuts by the end of the decade. of course, in the netherlands rule that it must cut emissions by 45 percent by 2030 from it's 2019 levels. and, but it's far below show the target to reduce the carbon intensity of its products by 20 percent. by the end of the decade, it was aiming for 45 percent, 5 years later. well, it also says it wants to become a 0 emissions energy company by 2050. while this is a landmark ruling which could have major implications for energy companies around the world. that fasten reports now from the hague of joy, after the landmark living in the hague would in $17000.00 dutch citizens and half

an environmental groups at the cape, arguing the shell, and they just people slides and future generations when it's got the emission, it's enormous. it's phenomena, historical for the 1st time, we really have a major tone, to reduce climate change and ensure a safe and happy future. for my 3 kids and all kids in the world. for the 1st time, the court ruled that not only governments, but also companies have a responsibility to reduce climate change. but if the court orders royal dutch shell through it's company policy to reduce c o 2 emissions and also those from providers and consumers, by the end of 2030 to net 45 percent compared to 2019. they're a huge blow to shell that had pledged to reduce its emissions by 20 percent in a decade. but now in order to wrap things up, the company says it's disappointed by the verdict and will appeal this further. not

only get the book to the modern, 17000 dutch citizens and south, and i'm probably a mental run this case. this would have an impact worldwide. now a judge has ruled that a company like child has an obligation to pop emissions the same, put a fly companies around the globe. absolutely. this will definitely have a ripple effect across jurisdictional. and it's definitely something that companies are taken into account. not only the boards but the shareholders as well, their investors, their accountants, etcetera. so i really think that this will have a huge impact on the energy transmission. an estimated $1800.00 law suits related to climate change are currently being fought in courtrooms around the world. climate law experts believe that this ruling will enforce corporate responsibility irrespective of the political reality. interestingly, one of the things that's a judge, death today is that's shell cannot follow what's happening in society. shell has its own gauge to do it, share against climate change. so even if now in society,

people care less about climate change, which i wouldn't expect. but even then shell still has to commit the it. and how shall will commit remains to be seen. these climate activists will continue to watch the company closely. cutting nearly half of emissions in a decade from now can, according to experts, only be done if the company majorly alters its operations. step find some al jazeera bake. fara show is the climate justice and energy international program coordinator. at friends of the earth international, she joined me by skype from london. madam, thank you so much for joining us here in al jazeera and i guess, you know, you must share the joy that we've seen from your colleagues in that report. it's quite the wind. tell us a little bit about how it came about. so how friends of the earth thought of to bring this, this court case. so this cool case has been

a long time coming. it was followed in fact, in april 2018. and it's taken numerous amount of painstaking work to, to put the legal arguments together to plan this, to raise money, it's quite expensive to build the movement around the case. as you said in your report, there's 6 of the organizations, as well as from the netherlands, many thousands of plaintiffs a 1000000 people around the world. so it's been an incredible effort and a huge amount of work to put that together. and this case, obviously it is the 1st it is a historic because it is the 1st case that is tackling accompany and suggesting that company is subject to them to paris climate agreement. but it is based on some precedence in and dutch nor so obviously there was a lot of work and thought went into transferring some of those legal precedents and applying them to show one of the world's biggest pollutants. so how much of a person do you think that this now fits when it comes to perhaps a 4 thing,

the same thing on to other major oil producers. but i certainly think that the ceos of, of a big policing corporations or other food fossil fuel corporations should be really concerned about this. we really hope that this study does trigger a way to start the climate litigation is over, say a lot of cases over the place, but we have to set a precedent. it does enable other cases, people in other jurisdictions to force other companies to stop extracting and binding fossil fuels. but it will be better. corporations took the action without having to be taken to court. the tide is turning, we need to make a transition to a very different kind of energy system. one that isn't relying on big fossil fuels . we need to see a change in the business model of all these big corporations. they have no place for the energy feature, and we will take legal action. there will be more legal actions that happen around

the globe as a result of this case. but it would be far better if a change happened already. and sure, i mean, i suppose, you know, shall, would say that they did have a plan in place to reduce their carbon emissions. obviously not what they will now be forced to do by the court. but a lot of the or similar organizations would say they have a plan in place. it shall obviously, is registered partly in the u. k. and in the netherlands, which is why this case could be brought in a dutch court. how difficult is it for companies that are registered in other countries? do other countries have similar laws that you think could be applicable? so i mean, order fictions are different and there are, there are some universal things about this case that will be able to be applied in other jurisdictions. but with the climate instigation that we see around the world of the mainland, often ever lying on different kinds of regulations, different parts of the law. and i think we do,

we do see that people will be looking very, very closely at the start to see what is the political, what can be taken from this, how can it be use and how can it be applied in different jurisdictions to other big polluters sarah, show climate justice and energy international program coordinator at friends of the earth international. madam, thank you so much for your time and keep that the president of villa. bruce says he was protecting his country's people when he diverted a passenger plane flying from greece to lithuania. and detained dental position. journalist alexander lucas shanker, denied that a fighter jet force that the civilian aircraft, london, minns, and accused journalist from the protests of each of plotting a bloody rebellion. nadine baba reports militia in the better russian president finally commenting on events last weekend. alexander lucas shanker claims he didn't know and opposition of logo was on board a plane that was diverted to the capitol middle school. and he depicted

international reaction as part of what he calls a hybrid war. nothing like that is when you ill wishes outside and inside the country have changed their methods of attacking the state across numerous red lines and also the limits of reason and morale, which is across miss lini fashion lucas shank has orders. a bela written fighter jet was sent to a school to ryan a flight minutes before it was due to land in vilnius in neighbouring the way near . all the passengers were taken off, supposedly because of a bomb threat. the plain latest cough without romance process savage. a 26 year old opposition journalist and he's russian girlfriend. sophia, they're both in detention settlement. bella versus state media has this video sophie s a p one. she says she edits a telegram channel that publishes the personal information of bell or russian policemen representing a little bit of a should i go with this on monday bell original authorities released a video of romance, protest savage,

with contrition. senior ministers, senior officials, senior advisors like me, fell the fastest shores of the standard spell. the public has a right to expect of its government in a crisis like this. when the public needs this most, the government failed. he described a government in chaos, a prime minister, he said unfit for the job, but the pm just wouldn't do what we, what we advice about wasn't necessarily, i couldn't persuade other people and lots of things. everybody was screaming on quarantine, have a policy, and set it out clearly and stick to it. we cannot keep changing your mind every time and telegraph fletcher that it's already on the subject. nobody could find a way around the problem of the prime minister, just like a shopping trolley smashing from one side to the other. for cummings, or his johnson's greatest failing, most costly in human lives,

came with his refusal to implement a brief circuit breaker locked down. last september, that might have diminished the lethal 2nd wave. the whole lesson of what happened before is the by delaying the lockdown had came later. it had to be more severe. it had to last longer. the economic destruction is even worse anyway, and will have killed god knows how many 1000 people in the meantime, for cove, it wouldn't of course that if we surely got lessons from the past and by mister decided no and said basically, just going to hit no many hours of evidence in parliament spanned the duration of the pandemic until cummings relationship with johnson broke down when he was fired last november. some may question the veracity of his claims, saying he's a man bent on revenge. but forest johnson riding a wave of vaccine field public optimism is likely to remain relatively unscathed.

blame fell also on health secretary mat hancock for failures around the test and trace system. the preparedness of the health service and the deaths of care home residence in their 1000. i think that the secretary of state for health should be fired for at least 1520 things including lying to everybody. multiple occasions in meeting after meeting in the, in the conference room on publicly downing street says it'll respond to all cummings claims. indeed, course, joe al jazeera london, when leona murali is a political analyst and former a to, to a u. k. cabinet minister, he joins me now by skype from hitch, and in hartford, you're here in england, so thank you so much for joining us here on al jazeera, the u. k. unfortunately has the highest number of cobit related deaths in europe standing at around 128000. and obviously

a lot of people had pointed the finger to the fact that this country locked down later than fellow european countries. so the testimony was shocking. how much of it were you surprised by well, it was an astonishing piece of political faith coming. it was the right hand man to the prime minister for. ready practically a number of years and 2 boys sons and became prime minister to the breakfast boat in 2016 to see him turn on the prime minister in such so i was shopping. but i came as much of a surprise to a lot of people in westminster, who know donna cummings as a maverick as someone who doesn't play by the rules. in many ways it was always inevitable that he wanted to set the story straight and clearly his relationship with the prime minister has deteriorated and he held no punches when it came to pointing out where he think the problem is filed. so perhaps not

a surprise to people in westminster, who will observe the political side of things. but if you, one of the relatives of the 10s of thousands of people who, according to coming, died needlessly. that how damaging is this for boys johnson? i think it is damaging, as you say, that quote said tens of thousands of people died. who didn't need to to hear that if your, your relative of someone who passed away must be very difficult to swallow. and clearly, they things in questions raised about the prime minister's handling of the pandemic, particularly at the very beginning with the decision in the decision not to lockdown or to lockdown, perhaps 2 lines. but the prime minister has in his favor, public public sentiment positive public sentiment because of the vaccine program. the rollout has been successful in the u. k. a lot. there were difficulties at the beginning of the time they make and as you point out the highest death rate. busy in europe, we also want to high vaccination rates in europe now. so the problem is there is

somewhat immune to the criticism because. busy of how well the, the vaccine going, but i'm sure this won't be the last we heard of coming to may, will more pressure on the prime minister. absolutely. i mean, 62000000 doses of vaccine given in the u. k. so obviously that that is out out standing, but we're also hearing of a so called the indian very and rampaging through the u. k. and we know that post johnson is still reluctant for another or a tightening of locked down. do you think the lessons have been learned when coming says, you know, the lesson is that if you delay, you will pay the price later. you think that lesson has been learned to my boys. johnson. his lesson has been the beginning with his pan down. it struck the public, gave politicians some leeway. this was unprecedented. there was no blueprint for how to handle a time demick about something the dominant companies pointed out additional time

going on, and the government adapted strategy accordingly. and of course, the different person, our personal in downing street right now, coming not being, not driving the agenda, people by getting the prime minister to happen. changes to that to us, dr. g, but you say we are out of the woods yet. and there are, there are difficulties actually on the horizon and the prime minister handler coming to me tried to give him today leon murali political analyst inform or you can, cabinet minister is a the so thank you for sharing your views with us about him. it lots more so to come in this hour. this process in a rebel held areas, the syrian government areas vote and a presidential election. expect at the hand, the best shall assad, a force term. hundreds of thousands of homes damaged as india is hit by

a 2nd psych loan in a week. and then 4th in milan are looking for a new coach short me will tell you what's happened to new content. ah how much of the u. k has already recorded that works just a may on reco which came off the frosty list and driest april on record for many. and that came after one of the warmest marches on reco attempt to get up to 24.5 celsius. you may recall in london during the month of march that we should get into the twenty's across that northwestern corner of europe as we go through the next couple of days. an area of high pressure, but just not its way and never warm things up. gradually, wednesday highs 1617 celsius across that north western quarter. but as we go on into thursday, the temperatures slowly but surely not to just nudge up in the right direction. and

they are about where they should be as we go on into the weekend. so some relief there at long last 19 celsius, therefore barely 20 celsius for london, there will be some rain around this area of rain making its way. it's all it will bump into our area. high pressure moves across chrissy wells, western parts of england, scotland. we'll see some shabby rain but for the most part an improving pitcher way of sunshine coming through more. so as we go on into saturday, may well plenty of sunshine across northern parts of africa. so pe, be ready for a time across northern areas of morocco. and the show was prepping up nicely right through the gulf of skinny, the black and brown immigrant women at the mercy of the private prison corporation. 4 lines investigate allegations of medical abuse of women held it a privately run immigration detention facility in rural georgia. you still don't

know what happened here saying that you don't have a chance to read everything. an ordeal exposed by a nurse turned whistle the hour blow the whistle a 1000 times over. if i had no consent, surgery scandal, in immigrant detention on al jazeera, we town the untold stories. ah, we speak when others don't. ah, we cover all sides. ah, no matter where it takes a police fin, your guys were my eyes and power in passion. we tell your story, we are your voice. you knew your net back out here. oh,

a back is a reminder of the top stories when i was just 0. come us this political leader in gaza says a much larger conflict could break out in the future. if underlying issues with israel or not resolved, facing a massive rebuilding effort after more than a 1000 homes were destroyed in the conflict. the energy giant show has been ordered to more than double this carbon emission cuts for the end of the decade. according to the level and those rules that must touch emission by 45 percent, which is far more than its own. 20 percent target by 2030 and the president of l. a roof says he was protecting his country when he diverted the passenger plane and detain dental position. journalist, alexander lucas shank. use that room and professor bitch of being part of a lead family. and several un security council members have branded the

planes interception and unprecedented. and on the acceptable event, they want the international civil aviation organization to urgently investigate and urge bella bruce to release the journalist at an emergency meeting. the security council also called for the immediate release of molly's transition leaders, vice president colonel a c. me go ito, who let a qu in the country last year, ousted and arrested, the prime minister and the president on monday, being held in a military base and the town of cathy, one of going has a says they have now resigned. then negotiations are ongoing for their release and the formation of a new government, french president, him unaware of chrome, has called his actions. qu, within a qu, rescuers in northern nigeria are searching for more than a 100 people missing. after an overcrowded boat capsized around the $180.00 were on board when it sank near water in could be state. the local government says many of

them were women and children coming from ne share state. at least 22 people were rescued. prison bori has described the accident as devastating former south african president, jacob zuba has pleaded not guilty to corruption charges in alarms the case. he's been charged with corruption, racketeering fraud, and money laundering in a $2000000000.00 deal. the allegations date back more than 20 years to when he was deputy president. he says it's a which humped by a rival faction of the ruling african national congress for me to miller has more nor from johannesburg. former president jacob's duma pleaded not guilty to those charges. it's the 1st official, please by the president. he has on many occasions prior to that said that he's done nothing wrong, but this is a witch hunt. it's politically motivated. it's been going on for almost 2 decades,

and this really is attached to these factional battles with if the a n c is also said, just following the adjournment of today's court proceedings. that as far back as the time as was deputy president, these charges were made, they were late to dropped and reinstated. he said, there's always been a plot to get rid of him and he's willing to clear his name. at the same time, critics have said that he's doing anything we can to avoid prosecution. and in today's court proceedings, we saw some of that when the former president, a legal team put forward an application, a special plea to remove the lead prosecutor in this case, saying that he would not be objective. he will not be impartial, is not independent. and that he is political interference. some would argue that this is again another ploy to try and derail the legal process. the former president, on the other hand, is saying that this really is about the vacation of,

of his presidency and him as a person. and it really talks to this ongoing fight against corruption in south africa. that current president's little m, a per se, is trying to spearhead, but many would say it's not going as planned. at least 8 people are dead after the latest. vast choosing in the united states. this time in california, a transport employee opened fire in a railway maintenance yard in the city of san jose. police say that done man appears to have shot himself dead at the scene above the squad has been searching the yard after an explosive device was found. reynolds is live for us in some new york say a terrible story. what appears to have happened there and why was this particular workplace positive? well, barbara, this all began a very early this morning about 6 30 am local time. and the 1st indication that

something was terribly wrong came when a house fire was reported, the fire department went to that location that later turned out to be the home where the shooter live. presumably, he set the blaze himself either as a way to divert resources from is intended crime or, or out of his, his rage in some, in some fashion. then up least were called to the valley transit authority rail yard, which is in the area that is cordoned off behind me. and what they found were 8 people who had been slain and the, the assailant. the gunman also dead. no shots were exchanged with re law enforcement and the gunman. they presume that he died of his own hands. the location is significant because the gunman is believed to have work there. in fact, the police have confirmed that he did work there. so this is clearly some kind of

workplace dispute, some kind of revenge attack, perhaps we don't know the exact boat of yet. we will see if there is any documents left behind by the gunman or anything of that nature. and lisa, of course, interviewing everyone who knew him at some point after the, the bodies were discovered and leaves were processing the scene. an explosive sniffing dog encountered something suspicious, something that made it believe their mate might be exposed to chemicals on the scene. so now the bomb squad from the local law enforcement is going very meticulously very carefully over the entire scene. it's a very large area, they say, and it's going to take some time. they'll be working through the night to determine whether there are indeed any explosive devices they're neutralizing them and, and continuing to process the crime scene looking for any clues that they can find

. barbara robin, i guess obviously the details of this case will emerge in the coming hours and days . but more generally, this is the latest in a series of course of vast shootings in the united states. i know that this is perhaps a leave question, but is there any prospect that this will lead to strict gum roles? well, you know that that, of course, is the question that that always arises and it's, it's, it's not naive. it's common sense. now a president biden issued a statement earlier, just a short while ago listening some of the shootings, the mast shootings that have happened on shore tenure as president saying that this is enough and that congress must take immediate action. but it seems that there is no appetite within the republican party, which is which has the power to block legislation in the senate to do anything

meaningful about gun control. this has been the recurring theme of gun control legislation throughout this period of american history. for years and years, we've seen terrible mass shootings and then an outcry for strict laws, but nothing really significant happens by the way. barbara, california, where we are now is a state with very strict non law, but just just go show that guns are just too big with us in the us society. and that even a state with, with stringent laws, relatively stringent laws, cannot outlaw the sale of guns. and therefore, these things can take place no matter how strict the laws are on the state level. arouses lease from san jose. thank you. now protests there is have been back marching in cities around columbia demanding more economic help from the government for poor people. almost a month of demonstrations of already pushed president even to k,

to show tax and health reforms. he's currently the most unpopular columbia and president ever with new polls, giving him 76 percent of this approval rating. syrians have been voting in a presidential election certain the hand, russia lost by the force, a 7 year term that's despite a decade of war. and then economy in free, full voting was only in government controlled areas with no credible opposition. candidates, then holder has more. now from becca and neighboring lebanon, where thousands of syrians live as refugees. president sharla says 21 year rule is about to be extended for another 7 years. he's run for a 4th term in an election where the outcome is not in doubt. the long time leader stood against 2 largely unknown figures who aren't considered serious rivals and whose candidacy required the regime's approval. the exiled opposition was allowed

to take part in our civil constitutional legal as security obstacles that not only deny the syrians inside syria participating in these elections. and by that, i mean the displace periods in oregon serial or even the series who are in the area is controlled by the regime. because even computers want in areas controlled by there is you have the freedom neither to vote nor to run for office. and many of the millions of people who live outside government controls mainly in the north are refusing to give us a legitimacy. they call him a criminal for killing and the resting tens of thousands of syrians during the 10 year war. the elections won't help bring about a lasting solution, millions of syrians or refugees, and they are losing hope of returning home. some are afraid of retribution as long as i said remains in power. others say they won't return because the living conditions are so bad in syria. i certainly believe he won the war,

but there is discontent because of a collapsing economy. the serial leader hasn't been able to start reconstruction. he need some money, but the international community is refusing to engage with him. russia will attempt to convey this is game over to normalized series relations with its neighbors and international community. and to say that this actually hit to un scared council resolution 2250 for the opposition. the united states and many other western nations disagree. they say the elections aren't free and fair and there is no safe environment to allow all syrians to participate. resolution $2254.00 mandates that the you and facilitate the political process that would come in in the holding a free and fair elections. in accordance with the new constitution administered under un supervision. i said has so far, refused to meaningfully take part in that process. agreeing to political transition
