i'm time the or the opposition side is in serious say that entered how much is 200 kilometers north of the capital, damascus. the all mean says this repelling the of the low. this is all g 0 live from to 45 people also ahead the syrian government launches this strikes on a level a day after opposition. fighters captured the 2nd largest city ever charity suspend his operations in gaza. after 3 of his workers, a killed and then is really yes, right. and we're getting reports of thousands killed in a separate strike on your body. and move on and protesting georgia following the

routing. what is decision to suspend talks to join the european union? the us and this strategic partnership with a gun. the thank you for joining us. we start with fast moving developments in syria where president bush on a side is facing the biggest challenge was role in yes. opposition fighters have made significant gains in just a few days. they've taken the country 2nd biggest city, a level including asap port. and now they say they have reached another important city on the wage of the capital, damascus. the vibes of state event at hama and government troops have withdrawn from the positions that the government has rejected. those claim saying its forces are ready to repel any attack. meanwhile, has been as twice on the northwest and city of a level a day after opposition fighters capture the city, including its airport. the escalation has led to

a ferry of diplomatic activity. the rainy and turkish and russian foreign ministers of health talks on the phone and a ron sword minister is said to travel to syria on sunday and then to to our kids. i'll just say we're a simple sale blue has more from high tedney at turkeys border with syria. in a surprising move on saturday, the opposition factions locked by the h. d as a a tough or else some are addressing towards hama after they took control of the city of elect people. and it's a conference size. also the position sections to control of many other places in it live. and they announced that they have full control of the province along with important a ports like a full, a port in northwest syria. and where is a report and it's an alaska? no one was expecting that the opposition would advance on the ground so quickly. and again, so many territories,

but given the weakness of the syrian army and the lack of russian assistance and other part of military factions, 2 affections and find that they are trying to benefit from this. on the other hand, diplomacy is under way to support administered how come through them, and it help phone conversations with his russian country and lebanese counterparts . and it, what we are hearing from inside syria is that turkish backed us and they factions for you, syrian army factions are advancing towards tell her thoughts to liberate the city. as they say from the syrian curtis groups. how things are going to develop on the ground is full of surprises. as villages and towns are changing, hands by the hour. see now because sold houses here outside on the 2 kids syria border. and no come or should a syrian jen? this was in the left or just after the strike on the city. as you can see,

the workplace target at the very, very haven't called you there. 2 where people are trying to come in and out of the city. now we're getting news. the we're playing the, the war places are still over and over the city of the city of the good good targets the city and you said goodness which is good. know there were the other casualties, i'll definitely do to be well as sorry. but as you can see, the destruction is massive. i do work with our system over in the area. we told you that the area over here, as you can see behind me, is just a really in territory where people are trying to get to in or out from the city. people who are just less are charge of get to enter their houses. and some people are trying to get people out of the city. the situation is still not stable

as of but it, there's those, it's on the ground front. no. tell us to leave the area as well. place are seen over and over the city available and nothing is actually certain. at this point. the city could be heavily targeted in the upcoming days. as civilians are going to be the number one target, according to locals and resources here, this was new horror motion from the city overall level. let's look at who controls want in syria. the syrian government forces backed by russia and yvonne regained control of most of the country during a 13 year civil war. while opposition forces bunch by took, he remained in charge of areas across the north with high terry, all sham dominating in the province in the northwest. the syrian democratic forces west the f made up of mainly why fi g kurdish fighters, and backed by the us control, much of northeastern syria, particularly of rock, a hasa and parson verizon. this area is home to significant oil reserves. tookie

conducted 3 major incursions into a northern syria between 201620192 create what it called a face. so and along its 7 border and now it wants to kurdish dominated as the forces to leave tile re 5 and mom page and move east of the euphrates river. let's speak to joshua alonda is a bottle. this is director of the center for the least studies at the university of oklahoma, and is joining us from oklahoma city in the us. joshua, thank you so much for being with us. some fast moving developments in syria right now. what's your sense of what's happening on the ground? how far do you think the opposition can push self? well, the opposition has, i think, far exceeded, what is it set out to do? and when it realize there was very little that this, the syrian military was willing to fight for and began to just melt away. they've been on a roll tearing towards hama, as your reporters have underlined and i,

and they hoped to go to damascus. there was extraordinary energy and excitement amongst the reveled forces, and we've heard very little from the syrian army side as in moscow, theoretically he's on his way back and is supposed to meet ronnie and foreign minister in damascus tomorrow. but he has made no statement. we haven't heard from the syrian leadership and this this bodes very ill. why haven't government forces, why then government forces put up more of a fight, see, think, joshua lots of $1000000.00 questionnaire. i think there's 2 main answers that one is that the spirit has really gone out of the syrian military after the, the war became frozen in 2000 many syrians. we were hoping that the economic situation would improve. jobs would come back. the state services like electricity schools so forth would revive, and none of that has happened. in fact,

the economy has continued to shrink. people have no jobs, they're breaking $20.00 a months and they are hungry and they see no positive future for them with outside in the government. and that means they don't want to fight. secondly, israel has really smashed his bottle of iran hard and it has been pounding the syrian military for a year. now. it has doubled its incursions into syria 3, almost a week over the last year since october 7th. and that's badly hurt the syrian army . so it's, it's allies are really on the sidelines and unable to come to it's a all right, well let's, let's look at the, the play is now in this conflict and the opposition more specifically, which is this opposition allies which is led by hi terry shawn. it's a syrian fighting group that was formed in 2016 is predecessor, and this are front was an affiliate of al qaeda within the opposition to the outside government. now since 2017,

the group has tried to change it so much saying it's got ties with all kind of. now it runs a south side civilian a 40 and did live known as the salvation government that provides civil services like tact collect tax collection and security and supervisors, the health, education, and agriculture all sectors. it has become the strongest opposition group in northwest in syria, controlling much of a live province near the turkish border. so h t s joshua land is it is not allied with turkey on lives. the syria national law may, which is backed by turkey and his internationally recognized here in opposition. right. but to what extent ave communicating and coordinating with outside power is which of fact uh the opposition against the side where she as well as jo, danny, to be the leader of all right, the head of your sham h t. s. is allied with turkey. not as closely as the militias and north a level, but the depends for all of his arms, much of his food resources,

and electricity and so forth. from turkey. without turkey, he would not be able to do this. but he has been a shown a, a strong streak of independence. and he has gotten rid of the, you know, kind of elements that really turned much of the west against him and turkey against him. so, he's been extraordinarily resourceful. he's established the state and it lived that many people who visited say, is uh, has some real institutions and is pretty well organized. so that is to his credit. right now, yvonne, we've talked about turkey. what about iran and russia? 2 countries that also planned important role in what happens in syria will be joshua, can they, in fact, intervene in the way they have done in the past to help pop up the syrian government forces? you know, they can't. and that's

a simple answer. russia has um, has swung into action and is carrying out a uh, an air lift and rushing planes are bombing, as we just heard in a level in or in the villages around. but this is spreading, this revolt a screening so quickly that the air force is going to have a very difficult time turning it back. and it will mean a bombing urban centers like a level and, and um and how about and i really don't think that there is going to be much stomach for that. right. what about the us is the you, are you at all sure. where in between administrations right now, how much one american diplomacy get engaged at this time? you think you know, america is going to want to stay out of this. the trouble is going to come back to bite them because they have dependent on supporting the kurds. america owns about 25 percent of syria, real estate,

maybe 30 percent. and as much as the oil resources, turkey is going to want the americans to leave and is going to want to attack the cards. that's one of their major objectives in this. the rebels want to go to damascus, but turkey wants to go and get rid of the y p g. so that's going to put america in the hot, so they're gonna have to choose between turkey and the kurds. and it's likely that uh, president trump, the new incoming president will choose turkey over the kurds. very interesting to talk to you about this. thank you so much for you. inside joshua elandis joining us a lie from the university of oklahoma. thank you for your time. pleasure. the and we're getting reports that at least 40 palestinians have been killed in northern guys after, and he's really striking

to join the european union. that decision, as also on good protest as were back on the streets of the capital to place the tension has been growing since the governing georgian dream party. one last month's legislative elections president is telling me is the right that should be daily says she will not step down when her term ends in december because parliament is illegitimate. following that vote, sonya go reports. another evening gathered in front of the georgian parliament, defiant, displayed the heavy track down by police the night before the message to the government. but they would stand sub in the face of the actions and continued to stop and by plans for georgia to join the european union which is enshrined in its constitution. people of georgia is trying to protect their constitution, trying to protect their country and the state, and they are trying to tell our government that grew up low means everything and

integration into the european union. these our future. this was the see the night before thousands of people furious with the government's decision to turn away from the closest ties with the youth met by police to disperse the crowd who the voice of cannon despise to this, the government doubled down, vowing to prevent any kind of revolution from taking place. give us hope soon, dot com. so let us know what. so there will be no more than in georgia. today's georgia is in no sense view creative 2013. and that's why the items scenario will not be realized. and the youngest, held by pro e u supporters has been bubbling away since the populace pro russian government in georgia. dream one last month's parliamentary elections a vote that was mowed wide accusations of rigging and intimidation. the eu has questioned the results and calls to the election to be held again on the international supervision and appeal supported by the countries president. he said

she would not leave office when her time ends next month. when square in deep water, we are entirely by you side, and we will remain united until georgia achieves it. schools to return to its european past the secure new elections and ensure that it's few chaise protected once. and for all of our protest is may face a long and difficult road with a government that has a different vision for that country. the anger may keep them on the streets, but the hope the government will come around and listen to that to months. so did i eval? i'll just sarah. i said i had on al jazeera islands routing coalition upset to return to power but talk some golf information are expected to be from the

. ringback the, the, [000:00:00;00] the welcome back, these are the top stories on out of this, our syrian opposition side to say they've ended, how much is 200 kilometers in the capital,

damascus. forcing government chose to withdraw by the government rejects those claim, saying is, is that deployed in the home a countryside ready to reach out any of? meanwhile, the russian defense ministry says it's carried out at our tax on 2 in opposition. fighters in support of government forces have been strikes on the northwest in the city of a nipple. the attacks come a day after composition fight is captured serious, 2nd largest city. and the agency route central kitchen has suspended this operations. and guys, after 3 of its members, were killed in an easterly attacking con units in the south. and we're getting reports that at least 45, it seems, have been killed in northern casa after news. really? yes, 500, right? the actual built in into box a not a wells use islands election, abuse of deliver to return to power forage centers, coalition partners, initial results indicate that the main opposition body shouldn't fain is now the

leading with 21 point one percent of the vote. that's less than of one percent. difference with feet, a gal in a fall is 3rd with 19.5 percent of the vote. during the whole report, some documents the counting of votes in island will go on through the weekend with one likely result. beginning to emerge. the major parties on nick and nick, putting the currently governing fee to go and see on the floor in line to continue their center right coalition. i think it is important that we are in a position to form a coherent, stable government after the selection that can meet the very serious challenges that face description that would leave the left wing nationalist shouldn't fame, promising change, but locked out and you know, position the parties central goal of uniting the republic of ireland with the north receding. for now i would stress the way the art has an outlier here in europe it's . it's not voting for a change. the government has been returned and the opposition is quite frank,

meant to chin faint. it'd be nothing on the door now for a long time. and this was supposed to be their big opportunity. if you'd asked me a year ago, i would have said it shouldn't. fingerprint was a certainty because they were 36 percent of the opinion polls. they were more or less eclipse and clean the fall is going to go their, their time is not your come. the likely results in a continuation of the state this quote with significant support for the 2 main center ride crossings that many now see as 150 gallon piano fall in coalition since 2020 have speed up to become one of the richest countries per capita in the european union and those who campaigned for change, complaining that hardworking irish families to be left behind. well, there's not much change to be found here. during the whole l g 0, dublin cosello's prime minister says several fast breaks have been arrested in relation to an explosion that a key canal which supplies water to 2 major power plants and coach. he has visited the site and condemned what he called a terrace act. he blamed it on neighboring said,
