or h t s. and the purple areas are controlled by the syrian democratic forces made up of mainly us backs. kurdish forces on november 27 opposition forces launched and offensive from it live. and at a level serious, 2nd largest city, they rapidly drove out. the government forces taking full control in 4 days and then turned south to serious 4th largest city, hama, fia specials, all taking place on its outskirts motion aircraft have increase as drives to stop the advance of opposition flight as well. i'm moving along the m 5 road connecting the country's major cities decide to say if they take hum uh they'll advance on serious 3rd largest city homes before targeting the capitol, damascus. general, it's not a commercial is in a level. he says, despite a sense of calm, the, some presidents are unsure about how the opposition forces intend to govern the

city. we are here and be part of the city of olive fall right in front of olive bows. historic city adults. and as you can see, people have come to this place has been as well known even before the war. people used to come here to enjoy themselves. they've drugged their lives, have a cup of coffee and just sit and enjoy themselves. and even those who are displaced back in 2016, we've met several people who were displaced in 2006, being due to the military military campaign that by this year and a raging and supported by its russian radian allies. and also those who used to live in the city when the city was controlled by these caea raging forces. however, we felt, uh, some civilians actually told us that they can't help themselves, but to feel a slight feeling of fear and frustration because the change was so fast

and they really don't know how the off position forces are going to govern the city . they also told us that a under the, when the city was controlled by the sea and redeem forces, they didn't have any sort of freedom of speech or anything. and they have a saying, here's them, some civilians you told us that wouldn't be able to be suited, was controlled by the gen regime. they told us that they have a sing that was have years over here. so they really don't know how the opposition forces are going to govern them. however, the local authorities of the uh, syrian salvation, the government, which basically they are the opposition forces, the civilian sector, reassured, the civilians that uh, the upcoming days of the future is going to be better. but they, they just need a little more time to organize the living situation of the city. i want to take you in a tour around this place as people are, you know,

come thing and going to this location. even even during the night, just to, you know, just to forget a little bit about what's happened in the last couple of days. and the fast a changes on development that this area has witnessed. no core, much from in front of the historic. so to the valuable lupo, syria, it has been a flurry of diplomatic activity in the wake of this flare up of violence in syria, iran, and took here, standing on opposite sides. if the conflict and representatives of both sides were in correct to discuss the crisis center because the of the reports from high to on the took yes, syria border all the but this is, it lives universe to hospital now agreement minder of the costs, the for bombing hospitals remains a war crime under international law. yet such strikes continue. this flare up and fighting of this long run and conflict has sent diplomats inaction once again. in

ankara, turkish foreign minister, how confident hosted as you ran, you come to report a bus, a rock g fresh from talks in damascus. the agenda is clear. what is next for syria in this long and devastating conflict shorted the game show, but just follow to pick up the reason for the why spread co police erupt and again, is the issue is remaining results for the course of the last 13 years. the less than the demands of the position had been, you know, antecedent. regina did not engage with the poor pick up process. seriously, i saw them. i talked to her on and on, colorado stand on opposite sides of the conflict. they are different perspectives. unmistakably clear during monday's press conference and head office, hydro theaters to organizations in syria are in close contact with is right. i'm the united states. their actions are meant to divert attention from what is there? is there anything to live in an event? so that's why the situation in syria is totally different. well,

2 kits for administer emphasize the need for compromise from all sides. internationally recognized later of the syrian opposition criticized damascus for ignoring the demands of its people. just a matter of the, the machines continued disruption of the united nations on said political process and geneva has caused a major disruption in the chances of a stable life in syria. therefore, there was no alternative but to use the basic negotiating to which is through the force and the use of military operations. you will suffer. she also risk concerns about ty, at the hutto psalms enrollment in the opposition of fences, while labeling of the group to restore going to zation. they also acknowledge the pressure it puts on the show real assaults, silverman, and continue engage with all parties. us in a cold was the rainy and present mr. was possession, the russian president vladimir put in emphasized cooperation with iran to support

us government against terrace groups, claiming their beckers for the unrest in northern syria posts efforts to achieve peace, including by the u. n. n. a shed as an us don and so chief have faltered. but diplomacy is showing signs of progress with the parties divided, compromised not cease to be central to any resolution. so you have to solo alj a 0 outside on took a serial border, the appalling and apocalyptic. that's how the u. n. chief is described the situation in garza antonio content. it says conditions faced by palestinians. they amounted to the grievous international crimes. his statement was read out at a conference in egypt aimed at increasing humanitarian aid to palestinians.

meanwhile, is rarely strikes have continued to targets several areas across the gaza strip. one was on a shop selling clothing and a busy marketplace in gauze. the city, at least 2 people were killed. many of the attacks have destroyed homes and schools . sheltering families has been destroyed, displaced several times. abraham colleen was at the scene of the monk at this time . i am right now in the market. targeted. besides trying to serve the play or else right now, as we can see, the numbers of how serious have entailed others here. one that as you can see, the seeing here, the market has turned into a place of on friday as the cartridges directly targeted. besides here

and on the market, this is a vibrant place in molding since we've done the strip, where's the money is come to where the basic necessities and by the basic goods for their families. they ended up being targeted and, and brutally killed. and we're talking about very densely populated markets here in northern. but since we're the city and this is the scene here, has turned into a scene of the tragedy. really, i did the wrong, the hardest time to nobody's health ministry. he says at least 9 people have been killed. the series of his really is drags on to southern towns. israel's army says it's attacking targets in 11 on o is off the has been a launched rockets for the 1st time since a ceasefire was agreed. the on group fired rockets into an area called mount dulls . it's located in the shape of funds, which don't coupon advice is real, but claimed by living on residents returning to the homes in southern lebanon. now

concerned about whether the truce can, most of the zeros they know, hold the reports from time they came to claim their debt. these are families of hezbollah fighters killed during weeks of intense fighting with israel. more than 200 were temporarily buried here. on the outskirts of living on the southern city of tyre, intense has very bombardments meant it was impossible to carry out burials in villages, m a j. what does so hard that i came to say good bye to our martyrs, our sons, those who were killed by israel. these men protected our land so much has been lost in this war, or us brokerage ceasefire. that came into force nearly a week ago is largely holding. while the bite in administration says the deal is designed to permanently and hostilities. there's still concern and the sense of and security portal info hudson. israel has violated the agreement

a few times up to now. we hope the international community will ensure it is implemented. we still don't feel safe, and it's not clear with the army is capable of taking control of the pool, the area where the lebanese army has started to deploy. and its task is to dismantle, as well as military infrastructure that it was supposed to do after the last 4 in 2006. this has yet to happen. the ceasefire is being tested as isabel continues to hit, what it calls threats, especially in border areas. as well as still preventing people from returning to their homes in the southern most villages and 11 on its troops remain there. and it has 60 days from the start of the truce to gradually withdraw from the country. there are still few details on how they choose will be monitored and enforced. but the us military and not the united nations is now leading the committee in charge.

there is mistrust on both sides. that's especially true among supporters of hezbollah. i can't the goodness of course, america will not be fair even though they are obliged to be neutral. they will stand by israel, but where i hope for the war has ended for people here, there's still no closure. and as well as doing what it said, it would do preemptively striking what it believes or has well as attempts to re arm for the 1st time. hezbollah has responded by firing rockets across the border, calling it's a warning center for their eligibility to. so there's nothing on sale ahead on how to see the vicious attack of the democratic public is congress leaves at least 14 people dead and the un hold storks. and saudi arabia to tackle drought and desertification with a warning that the world's food supply is at risk. the

had low, the defend, the got off to a cold stock across north america. we have something of a deep freeze across central parts of canada. and the northeast of the us is still got that lake effect snow pool ringing on choose day temperatures have dropped across the region minus 2 in minneapolis. it remains that logic, ray and gloomy across the east coast of the us. temperature is where we expect them to be for this time, if you so much woman and quieter, of all central parts of the us and down in the deep south. but we are expecting some very wet weather to pick up here by the mid week is quite are close to the west coast of the us. lots of settled weather with sunshine here. just a bit of wet and wintry weather pouring into western parts of canada, and that will continue on to wednesday. so there's a rash of storms picking out for texas and louisiana. and that seems to west,

so whether that's blowing over from the north, east of mexico, dropping the temperature in monterey whether any 15 degrees on wednesday, it is going to be much cooler across the south as well. but as most settled picture, the weather is of the weather, affecting honduras and nicaragua. you can see that line of rain bringing some heavy rain and showers to his son jala, on wednesday to of the midst of how much is happening before the end of the question. why like this? let denise this call your mind it's area relief. foundation

the the again, this is a reminder of the top stories. the sour opposition site is continuing their offensive on government health areas in syria. russian and syrian government forces have responded with a series of strikes on several areas in even the province, the northwest of the country opposition scientists have seized control of the 2 military efforts. and your level of to having taken on saturday is really strikes have continued to talk it several areas across the guns district, including a monkeys incomes and killing at least 2 people. the, you and chief,

antonio content is, has described a situation in gaza pooling and apocalypse for the knowns. health industry says at least 9 people have been killed in as many as drugs in the south. those attacks came hours of to has been on launched a real good sort of 1st time since a ceasefire was agreed to. both sides are accusing each other of violating the premiums protests in georgia. continuing for 5th night. demonstrate is all angry about the government's decision to delay talks to join the european union. police used to augusta drive protest as a way from the parliament building. they've gathered that each night since the ruling georgia dream party announced its decision to put in your expression tools on hold. alex scriven, the is the executive director of the democracy, democratic security institute as an independent things hang focused on democracy and security in your major explains how many children's feels they feel they've

been denied what they've been working towards for decades, the dns, hence wave of i'm gonna select the country for the past week shows absolutely no sign of a basic process. a huge, never mind, a very high numbers. there was some discussions that made because today was a working day that might be a bit smaller, but now is the immense. and is there anything on the growing their progress spoke here? it's been easy, but an agent in towns and cities across the country, even quite small towns that they naturally have process. there's a huge process wave, but what's also causing concern is the, is the heavy use of the police backlash. the right police have behaved in ways which uh so to put it bluntly, it'd been pretty by, i've seen myself my own eyes. i had to show for that church less so. but please be top. people in the churchyard. i don't see it. you know, there's lots of footage of people being chased through the streets and be not maybe

1012 police people be smoke protests. so that level of police brutality that the scene has actually called even more anger amongst many georgians. when the opposition did start to process the election results, which happens of insult type, but those protest did not really take off the children populace did not re, on mass come out to protest the sorts of numbers. it was only when the government said that it was a bad thing for the time being the membership bid, the hundreds of thousands of people since the streets. no one is actually reading this price. maybe that they were completely spontaneous. in fact, the opposition leaders has completely failed to rally that supposes in this sort of way. so actually, these protests is, don't really have any leadership. they really have any organization or tools. it's just the way that she anger directed against what the people hit, sees the trail off decades of george and efforts to join your community
