once the ramifications of julian associates publications of us, they speak with and was the case against him, could mean suppressed sweden after leading to a key for 2 decades that richard is facing perhaps his toughest election. yet as a recognition of opposition parties hopes, one seats as leaders of the g 7 nation. please, the continuing boeing you claim action on climate change and the global economy. a high on the agenda, stars from across the world, the seminar town for the film festival, celebrating the best of the silver screen on which is a rough, the knowledge of the width of the

back of the table, syria is re admitted to the arab league, 12 years of being spelled for its deadly crank, donald protest as the syllable this displays millions the i'm gonna clock this is out. is there a light from the also coming up? julian's a sense of the site on which of the politicians will draft a new constitution. kyle sweeps through eastern democratic republic of congo entire villages of washed away and severe flooding and land. slide trunks may be underway in saudi arabia, but so don's capital remains the platform from up to 3 weeks of come. the so 12 years off to the arab league suspended syria over its governments cracked on

protesters. president bush, alice sat and his regime a back in its full the decision was made during meeting it for a ministers in colorado. will the scene of the 22 ben misstates that attended endorsed the decision kata was among the most notable of absentees. i fell off. good then the return of syria is the beginning of the movements and nothing in the direction of the resolution to the crisis in syria will take time for procedures to be implemented and it will be gradual. the task of this committee is to follow up on those procedures. also, it's not the decision to resume relationships between arab states and syria. this is a solving decision list for every country to take on its own up and know well, syria was expelled by the play golf to be a side regime related campaign of fear and force against protest as that was during not rising in 2011 that led to the civil war and then a half a 1000000 people have been killed in the country that followed the crisis as far as millions of syrians to flee the homeland and live as refugees abroad,

and many remain internally displaced. hello l to 0 is that a hash? them takes a look now at the regional shift towards sir seattle. yeah. admitted to the autumn league after a 12 year absence. the decision is the most significant today to be taken by out of states to normalize relations with damascus. in the same hole in 2011. the audibly got off to the resolution to suspend syria's membership, saying the shuttle assets government had to pay to stop. it struck down on protest as a religion has changed. and the us government's approach towards those. of course, those who those in favor of the step say it's when have a major impact on the future of syria and its neighbors improve stability and the country is expected to enable the return of those. instead it's 12. yeah, we'll what critics say, we have ability to and i said sets it dangerous precedent for the holding power to

account and see it. yeah. and the world. but the outbreak expects that agent to benefit from its decision regional moves to watch the reconciliation started in the past 5 years in 2018. the u. a and by hiring reopen the embassies in damascus. and since 2020 turkish on syrian intelligence officials have met several times recently, both countries, deputy foreign ministers met to moscow following talks between defense ministers in 2022. so do for the minutes. suffice. i've been fight. honda met, i said nearly 3 weeks ago. something that i believe argue that the region that relations with damascus could limit the run and josh has influence. the announcements comes just days after the uranium president visited syria, that's relations between central and under yard are also taking any you direction on the how should i just see it? all right, let's take this on. we can speak to joshua elandis,

who's director of the center of the middle east studies at the university of oklahoma. he writes the newsletter syria comment, and joins not from oklahoma city. joshua, welcome to the show. what do you make of this mania saying? it seems like boucher on the side has gone away with it, but he has gotten away with it. um and uh and that's why the arrow countries are bree normalizing with him. because you can choose your friends, but you can choose your neighbors. and a sanctions having to work and they, they are countries want to a number of things from outside and they're not going to get them unless they begin to negotiate with him. that a great message, does it commit to pulling acts in front of your regime through elicit drugs and yeah, we'll just forget about it too. well, that's very true. that's the case. i suppose with every arrow bruising, which is authoritarian and to commits acts that are considered egregious by democratic countries. but that's unfortunately, the,

the reality it puts the us in and invidious position doesn't that they have no intention of supporting the a side government, but still need to maintain ties with these are government. ah, yes, that's absolutely true. and, and we have to remember that the united states and e u countries thought they were going to be able to overturn outside. and then they, they got spooked by the opposition. they feared that al qaeda and ices would take damascus if the syrian army was destroyed. and so they backed away from it and they allowed us to survive. of course, he survived with the help of the russians named ryans, but the europeans and the americans could have easily overthrown him. we've seen that of ukraine today with the incredible weapon rate that they're giving to your credit and government. they never gave that kind of weapon rate to the searing opposition for the simple reason that they feared the destruction of the syrian army. so to a certain extent, this was a situation that has many authors,

perhaps the us should take a leaf out of the league book and embrace this move in and what with syria at each on to that to think um and no, i don't think so because america's very distant and it doesn't really matter to america, whether they're negotiating with syria, but it does matter to sadie ravia, it matters to jordan, matters to 11 on they want refugees to go home. they want the cap, they've gone drug trade stopped. they're trying to decrease iranian influence in the region, and the only way that they can make a dent in any of those problems is by engaging with upside. all right, we'll leave it at joshua. let us appreciate that. thanks very much. pleasure. i don't see if i've just begun intially following a referendum to choose a council that will help draw up a new constitution. 9 months ago, bytes is widely reject to the previous draft. the government wants to replace the current constitution adopted under the old goes to finish a dictatorship in $199061.00. the rules closest to the election as

a new constitutional device is progress for the country. where we've got to come to terms is to get continued to, to a process which hasn't been easy getting a new constitution that unifies this. and that means progress and identifies the majority of children to update all fundamental names. all right, we're joined not by latin america editor they say, and human is in the capital of santiago and certainly see it once again. people have been to the polls now. accounts use underway. what do we hearing? so for the exactly, they are counting, you can see them reading out loud, the votes, right behind me, this is the way it's done here. you know exactly what, who voted for whom in each single ballot. and the interesting thing that we're seeing here is that the winning, so the winning the candidate if you like, on the blank and, and no votes there. let me just show you there over here. this has been a huge pile. this is almost 15 percent of the total volts at this table. we solve

the same thing at the counting at the table right in front, right to my left here. and that is a very, very worrisome trend because it means that a lot of people were so disillusioned with the way that the, the last process went. and the way that this one was put together, they decided to basically spoil their vote and not make their choice heard or rather make it known that they didn't agree with the option of even voting. uh, we do know that most of the people that did cast a blank or a no vote, a people who had voted for the left. and so the left wing candidates in the previous selection, people who say that they wanted a process where they could choose the candidates, have independence running, not members of political parties as is the case. now there's a very, very big difference between this process and the previous one that was rejected who's draft constitution rather was rejected back in september 9 months ago. so,

so this, we have to see if this trend is representative of what's happening throughout the country. but we are hearing that this is an unprecedented occurrence in surely that there are so many void a no vote. so blank votes in an election. me sure thing be very easy. how it affects everything. what, what do we like to find out what, what's likely to happen is that the more progressive, if you like candidates that are running for the 50 seats at this new constitutional council are going to get less votes. and that the more conservative ones will get up perhaps additional portion of the larger amount. because people, whether avoiding blanco or, or know are the ones who in the would generally vote for the progressive candidates . and so the question here, and this is important because we want to, in the last uh, time around the 1st time we had the, the whole council was completely viewed or dominated by the left. so what,

what do we need to ask ourselves as, is that going to happen again, but in the opposite direction, either way is not good because we're chileans are supposedly wanting is something that is going to bring about consensus, bring the country together as we heard earlier, from the president and come up with a draft that all chileans can accept and see as the roadmap to go forward. so coming generations, not just for the present. alrighty, sir, we'll see what happens when the account is completed. the time being, thanks a lot. a folding, 200 people have died in slots and land slides in democratic republic of congo, nearly half of the victims with children, the destruction in south cubic provinces make it more challenging for rescue teams to reach devastated areas of your life is how do you assess for, for most people in this village have lost everything. 7 2 within moments lance lice in the m a could be washed away their homes and buried
