you're in to tell me sing a song, right. when you think about racism, thinking certainly have is making us invisible today. be unscripted on out there. ah, ah. you're watching on there with me the hall robin in doha. reminder of our top news stories and breaking news coming out to see don, the political forces say that they've reached agreement that would reinstate, have done a handle because the country's prime minister, nearly a month after the military seas tower in a qu, hipaa morgan has bought from cotton we've been speaking to several members of the resistance committees, the committees that have been organizing protests as well as some political parties . many of them say that while prime minister may be the symbol of a civilian transitional government, they don't want a deal with the army. they don't want a return to the power sharing agreements. many of them have so long as they are

that to be obscene. how that are trying agreement has gone, and the scene with the military can do. and how easily over or sideline that agreement. so many of them say that even a prime minister does come back to this position. that's not going to end the process. well, many of them say they one can enter this political instability. they want to see some kind of transition in place. they don't want the military to continue to have a role in the politics of the country. they wanted to return back to school security and back to the barracks and wants to configure the transition rebels in ethiopia, northern to grime, region, say federal forces have carried out a drone strike targeting a residential area in mckelly government and to grow in forces have been fighting since november last year, photos on the video have emerged to things ray which shows the tenant start a junior tournament in beijing. thing had not been seen in public since making sexual assault allegations against former chinese vice premier chung julie. the

on the 21st of august 2013 syrian government forces used chemical weapons in opposition held areas, killing hundreds of people, including many children. when you, as soon as the year before, the technical weapons little red line. however, off to the attack, president obama decided not to intervene because it might lead to heavier u. s. involvement in syria. there were some people in the administration who worried that i sent cooking at the end be top alden extremist would take over. those of us who were following siri more closely, kept telling them, stop worrying about that. the extremists are no stronger than a lot of the modern elements, and they're not going to take over. it might just shift the fighting a little bit, but there will not be an islamic state declared in damascus. this

lack of a western response seemed to embolden assad. he realised that some western leaders were more concerned about the potential chaos that might result from opposition groups taking over than the were about his staying and power. i saw was quite to exploit this. michelle, i said that if not, and as a pot hustled lately, poet kill whole school me law, she had the eunice temp bill. i showed him how to persuade the challenge, let wouldn't know set up for correct. and she had yelled mostly dishes, ian. and she's at mann in mann in us. oh, really? my food, i got to be young to mom and have it daily shower well healthy, ah said had released many of these members of owned opposition groups from jail since the start of the uprising. some had joined

i so i sad realize that this was the good that the west was more concerned about perhaps than any other in 2014 i so took the tone of rocca i moved quickly across syria, largely at the expense of other opposition groups. news of wilkinson, the bombers, every dose is more, more talk to you. good you who's a really oh, should boose a bell? du du busha way saw repeated instances where the syrian government basically would not attack the sonic state here. sometimes we sign sentences where the atlantic state might attack a free syrian army unit, and the syrian government would come in and bomb them by air, or maybe an hour later or 2 hours later. and i,

it looked like tactical co operation almost. and we saw many instances in that, especially in the area around a laptop. for example, a dash 2 got me social sincerely, you don't thought a little bit harder, but oh, it's hard to keep all blue she be on new off when the arcs will soon akita on to to the door. oh, boy bell was a toy to so in. so so obvious. you aiden, ye bellow, jim, i don't mean that they don't ever fight this long stick. sometimes they fight this lamb at state. sometimes they cooperate with islam. it state, one of the things that come as a professional, i can say i admire about this here in government, is that it is able to do several different contradictory things all at once. and it, it's harder to understand them. they can confuse you very well that way.

the spread of iceland is increasing violence, preoccupied and shocked. much of the world asada used this opportunity to launch a different kind of campaign aimed at the west. a charm offensive war in syria is about winning the heart of the people. but i felt media was part of the war on syria when we saw a bit of an opening, you know, and that was and country it started to die to listen. we started to intensify our communication with the west until in by jen managed and to talk to jam manage. the syrian president gave interviews to several major media outlets around the world. and nobody showed he got

delicate on me. that if the moment give to tom and my little media, let it be, it gives the time and my letter id, arm letter b, or door acting on a sore on you, lila had a better but any to float more, carney and deliver it to la. michelle, i said send me a little bit deeper in all his interviews. he insisted, eats me chaos. f invasion of terrorist coming from abroad and the government is doing. it's a job in fighting and defending. it's a, it's county hassan authority and out of the, the monica yanine folder, equipment booklet and shuttle. and also he alyssa, tom, and he, a muffled alderman studio where he lived with come, i kind of thought for that and phil and i'm a little b, b and not all the a thought a shabby la la, la, la, la, charlotte, she took the match, the bush, auto said, did you go deep contributed parsa dumps us up to not meet is what's on there?

monte approval. deborah key for miss wood. young one, you know, you don't you beat him all the ship? i think for bashar last side to present himself to the united states sent to europe as the, as the alternative are to crazy, sectarian people. i think this has been part of his strategy since day one day one moon ah, by presenting himself as the alternative to what he called terrorists. i felt convinced many to overlook his government crimes like these camps, where 17000 people, including women and children, were tortured to death. lou ah, ah evening. they took me to the full and yeah,

mr. to man. the 1st question, why you don't like the shuttle us that oh, i thought shut it smart to new and silly. and this is usually a tools to collect on formation. after the 5th, i'm in 2012 at become the thought shut of not a toys for collecting information. it's a goals tortured for torture, torture for destroyed barbara of the blizzard. meanwhile our side presented himself as a protector of minorities, including christians and as a buffer against violent aunt groups some political leaders visited damascus and were warmly received

with the west prioritize to it's fight against iso. in the autumn of 2015, they decided to launch their 1st air strikes in syria against i saw rather than government forces. they also cut back on their support of opposition groups. this took the military pressure off the syrian army. i'm gave asset, precious breathing space. ah i don't know how the skill enough law would do, but i guess i'm and i know you had a couple of a lot. oh, you are god visual of your audience only i'll call you i don't know. one of the other there

are sad situation remained quite precarious. after 4 years of war, he left the country for the 1st time to visit vladimir putin. he calculated that russian military support would shift the balance of power and the war in his favor. the day that o do in the world could have noted and what can be in june, olivia cannot be her one and see us in the day of the month. we ask that our shuttle to come and help us with a air force and that ocean did not ask for anything at from us. by the way, our relation would that ocean, as you know, is betty historicity field who's in wanted to stay a step ahead of the west and to revive russian influence in the middle east. and you're a one. and he thought that having survived so far,

suggested that aside could be relied upon the child and my husband had now come for a new model. other scholarship on her with her national now was good on the withers, lose them at the hospital, national through social, but for most of them. okay. now recorded to still annoying army on me. oliver steven our food, even though in la city was not begun yet. almost her. yes sir, when you were legal bullshit my dearly or personally, but them was good in the way in the public though. won't come on the ocean in a move. the took the west by surprise. russia now intervened in sylvia in a big way. officially they were fighting ice all with the fights, suggested otherwise. ah,

it's justice, it's la city. does that up walk at the wendy's dis. court a cv. nope. we should with your a b d sir. mark or bash get did loom just healthy. like through age 2016, russian military support enabled the serial army to regain large parts of the territory. it had previously lost the u. s. and europe did little to counteract this relentless offensive. other than make token the protests they failed to react when government forces used chemical weapons again. ah.

in september 2016 u. s. president obama reached an agreement with putin to divide syria into 2 operational zones. he no longer demanded assets to parcher. the u. s. was much more concerned with defeating iso ah, at the end of 2016 after weeks of bombing, syrian government forces retook a laptop. the country 2nd largest city, had been an opposition stronghold and a symbol of hole. didn't want to look at the paper other than a pool and although less of a whole before the orders will be rebellious. that is on the dodie. probably the

feel fellow about the head of one of the whole of the money that while us had remained in power, obama's term ended in 2070. and donald trump became us from relative inexperience. and his perceived closeness to vladimir putin may have encouraged asset to authorize further chemical attacks in april 2018. and we begin tonight with the horrific attack overseas, and a forceful threat here at home. the pictures coming in a warning, they are difficult to look at. children being hosed off, treated after an alleged chemical attack. and duma president trump responding on twitter, vowing a big price will be paid, slamming syrian president bashar al assad, calling him, quote, an animal. i believe that the aside regime thought they could get away with it. i think i had seen a year more of donald trump. ah, a disorganized erotic inattentive

a president the 1st 5 days sir, i was at the white house. on the u. s. had to decide what the response would big. this telling us was home and bombed several military targets. they were backed by france under president emmanuel michel consider implemented you present on mom to the finance for me, the gunners of fishy sydney huck. remiss sash. josh or sue sud c. it's similar foss, natoya called homer, not the new choir ross in damascus or the trough delivered the suit. couldn't demos, has shown the fitness blow in everybody's, you know,

then these political promises. and we're going to end, we're going to get out a war going. and these wars, you know, these are no good. it was a huge mistake. you know, if a sod fell, who was going to take over was going to be a very radicalized component. ah, the west did not make any further military interventions, opting instead to impose sanctions on syria. but sanctions had little impact on the government's military capability. as asada gradually took back control of more and more of the country, his critics claimed that he saw himself as his country's muggy or savior. he thinks his the maddie, thus they one of the problems. and sometimes he act like al maddie, when he speaks with his surroundings and friends,

this is what we heard from our deaf friends in damascus, the quinn, nathan nevada, cliche for what your thoughts are looking for new sheila hump well to thought ali aladdin. ah, ah, what a 3rd of the country still remained beyond dasanya control the kurtz alongside european and american special forces controlled the northeast. turkey controlled the northwest to contain the carts and back the opposition and it label in the south. a large zone was controlled by us forces and israel carried out regular air strikes against iranian positions in syria to completely reclaim the rest of his country. aside would ultimately after confront all of these conflicting

forces. ah, i got it with all gunther and had within, within a few minutes, vladimir putin came to this is the russian base in syria. but the war was becoming expensive for him on the outcome was still uncertain. starting a war was one fe, ending, it was quite another he had a number of that of follow up discussions with pohden. i believe that the russians were very much interested in reducing the russian true presence in syria. but to do that, to avoid losing their entire investment in the country, they had to have

a more stable assad regime. in 5 years, the russians had not only kept the syrian government in power, but it also largely eliminated and marginalized. the moderate opposition articles criticising aside appeared in the russian media suggesting they might have preferred some one with a less checkered history in power. but when i said last support from one on i, he always seemed to identify another to turn to for help. michelle said, hello, what the hell they're looking to will be closed for this will be a cartilage. what really put in an unfair shakeelah. what followed, michelle said, what did you get any minute you know,

tuition act out to be submitted. if your house is elena, i have no doubt that they will put out feelers. they already have, we've even had some americans go over our side himself for very good understanding how to try to gain leverage against opposition or other countries that are pressing them and absolutely expect him to reach out. in fact, there were a couple of occasions when we tried to reach out to them and ordered a free american prisoners hostages, the assad or his surrogates still had and in prison. and we had no success. with that, we believe that assad at that point was simply carrying out iranian orders, and that there is really no chance we could reach an accommodation with him. i had no desire to see a side remain in power, but i didn't see a side as the real cause of the problems in syria. the central threat was iran,

and it was the, a rainy and presence in syria that may the us under trump keep large numbers of troops in ne, syria. but aside has been left walking a tightrope. he has had to tread carefully to avoid provoking major powers, like the u. s. are exhausting the patients of his backers, russia and iran. he also faces serious domestic challenges. his country is in ruins. half of the pre long population of syria have been forced from their homes. most of those remaining are destitute with 80 percent of people living on less than 2 us dollars per day. lou, the coven dynamic has made the situation even worse. even our sides own aloe

white community has shown signs of discontent. fresh protests are broken out in some cities reclaimed by the government. there is pressure on the syrian government to make peace with its remaining opponents and concentrate on reconstruction in the territory under its control. but it lacks the funds to rebuild the country and its backers, russia and iran, a rather unable or unwilling to come to the rescue. assad has also approached the e. u. uncertain gulf states to help fund the reconstruction a will instead of the gulf states that give me the money in order to separate myself from iran a and you would go to iran. you said

that raise your hand. because otherwise, i would be fallen under, under russia. you would go to what i show up until then if you need to help me more, because i'm falling into under a lawn. and you would go into your old telling them if you need to help me for the deconstruction. i need your money. i will otherwise would. there will be a new wave it for a few days and you would go to u. s. you need to cooperate with me in the security matters because we have a lot of fights for all the studies. and i says, this is how we play the game from my, from a lot. okay. ah,

what keeps you awake at night? what gets awake at night? many a reason that could effect any human life could. because anon could be a work your job could be georgia, could be personal, like any. i'm a human the latest news as it breaks here in the brazilian rainforest means these areas are now emitting more

carbon dioxide, and they're absorbed with detailed coverage. country like silly because of its geographic conditions has an enormous advantage from around the world. what's happening here is local farming communities using simple methods to solve a complex environmental problem. there was, is, i was a little boy in india. my dream was to make one, he would fence. so finally i was going to do it one man's quest to realize a lifelong ambition. the studio chose was of my own village and it does permission going behind the lens as got him saying, brings his personal story to life. al jazeera correspondent, my own private bollywood.
