the infrastructure, your work, you also should say the census is a crucial step in addressing demographic challenges within the country of ravages, but use of corruption and mismanagement, which remains on kia if these efforts would prove beneficial for the communities. the opposition fight isn't serious. i'd say they've captured more settlements and have a province tens of thousands of people are fleeing the fight to the of the bulk of this is obviously are life and also coming up at least 33 palestinians are killed in australia, tax on gaza. i'll try and find a group of civilians in bed lie of the us says the cease fire 11 on is holding a sensible on these around the cues. each other of violating the truce and cools

for a state of emergency to be declared. and nigeria, as a drug crisis, affects the lives of millions of people, the sex joining us. we begin in syria, well position fights of say they've expanded operations against government forces and have a presence in recent days. they've made significant advances into areas controlled by president bush, auto sense government, the you and says the fighting has force, maybe 50000 people from the homes in front of a con reports. some wound in syria and never get a chance to heal the infrastructure, turn to rumble in the north western city of id lip following airstrikes by russian and syrian government forces to destruction. as a response to the rapid advancement by opposition forces on territory held by bush or all assad government and its ordinary people who are caught in

the crossfire again of this conflict. which 1st broke out more than a decade ago. 7 uh, platinum and a half. now let me put on a we will forcibly displaced and were in search of safety. we looked onto the workplace on the bombing and under the gun fired. and we came to this area thinking it would be safer, but we were shocked to find that the air strikes from us everywhere. you know, let the country 2nd largest city opposition fighters have taken the city and it's international airport. the fighters don't shy away to show off the rewards of war, including military planes and helicopters, the, nor their anger at the syrian regime. 5 is the video has also emerged of what appears to show them entering a presidential palace and 11. some of those displaced by the conflicts have welcome the change in the front lines as a chance to return home. and in some cases rebuild as much as we did up here. i was

just placed a tech here. and after we had the village was liberated, we came back and the army drove them out. may god reward them. we came to inspect our homes, but it says if everything has turned to ruined, but those sentiments aren't echoed vile. the convoy of syrian courage makes a mass exit is out of a level region. they say they're not taking any risk in our seeking safe haven further east. this country has gone through many phases throughout the civil war. so for syrians, every stage has been marked by uncertainty for themselves and their country run our fun out to 0 as well. there's a lot of things that look so only a week ago, the areas of rags are controlled by suki and government forces supported by ron and russia. the green areas, the controller by the opposition. um group. hi, out toria alshaun wage to us. as well as the turkish bank, so we a national omi. the purple areas are controlled by the city and democratic forces

and mainly kurdish fighters bank by the us. when november the 27th opposition forces launched and offensive from italy aimed at a low. it's through a 2nd largest city. they rapidly drove out government forces taking full control in just 4 days. then they turn south as to as the 4th largest city. how about fee us bottles is taking place on the outskirts brushing planes have increased strikes to stop the advance of opposition? flights is then moving along the m $5.00 rows. i can next major cities the fight to say, if they take, how about advance of serious 3rd largest city homes before targeting the capital, damascus. so them co c o the joins us from to kias border with syria. so, i'll send them by giving a, a rough outline of the direction of the fighting. but what's the latest on the flow of custom season, the movement have forces, loyal to the assad government been able to, to counter this lightning offensive of the

well knees so far, the syrian government forces, nor the factions that are loyal to him, they should have factions, had been able to counter the opposition offensive in a soul or the way, let's say, of course there are some exchanges between the opposition and the government and its allies on the ground. one, take one village and the other. it takes a back in a few hours or within a day or so, but majorly, the superior over to you on the battle ground still belongs to the syrian a position. a coalition lead by had started as sean and syria national army factions on the ground. currently, the battle is going on in the hama. as far as we learned from syrian upwards is syrian military operations room that belongs to the opposition, towns of how you say i'm out of this and it's a but a mom in the northern countryside. those homo are under a position control,

they haven't been able to enter homeless to the center so far. but many expect the big class over there. i left boys and may need majorly under a position control in that is under a position control. tyler fought so that it was run by a courtesy travel group, the y p g. also this russian military was present there, as you know, they withdrew at the beginning of the offensive. the fault also is under a position control and we are hearing some, eh, it is some of the, some clashes between the art of faction within the syrian democratic forces as the f, as is suing in mid threes, a. she of factions on groups. this is the situation on the ground. now old eyes are on hama. and so that, meanwhile took, he has a firm that have no prior knowledge of the plan defensive by um groups that it had previously supported against. aside at least of the height of the civil war,

unclear now is quoted for compromise. well, the sancho believes that all parties involved assuming government serial position the affections within serial position, main international players like russia, iraq, they all made to make a compromise. it to come in to find themselves on a common ground because within all those years of this conflict at time showed that none of the international v of the geneva told us donald tools and nor the search agreement signed by russia iran and to keep it proved a solid or permanent solution for a ceasefire. they were the escalation zones established, and most of them are violates of bill. and the soul is one, was an in live, and even then is that it, turkish military, all observatory posts were attacked several times by syrian military and a russian

a strikes. that's why and they are asking for a compromise, but they say they are not aware of such a defensive to balloons. however, tickets for administered how confident repeatedly it mentioned in several international organizations that as syria is like a hot potato and it all those air strikes, targeting civilian areas, areas must stop and the officers a southern level known syria would be under the spell by the apparently the turkish intelligence mill, its resources as to kit is in, is backing the syrian national army the for say, inside syria, we're kind of able to foresee that there would be something coming up in syria. alrighty, the many things to have for the i've done this to them because the only on the 2nd 7 border will your state departments cooling for a political process to end the conflict and serial spokesman. matthew miller has criticized to me and president bush all aside from undermining diplomatic efforts.

i could probably co payment thoughts, strong words from the state department spokesman matthew miller. the us says what it wants in the immediate term is to see the escalation pointed out here at the state department that sector state actually blinking, spoke to his counterpart in turkey on sunday, about the escalating the situation and protected infrastructure. in a less though, the save of the longer term, they want to see the un resolution implemented the calls for a political solution. the same time. they are saying that it is up to the serious people in that process to decide who will be its leader. now, the us has to 9 any allegations that they were involved in any way, and point out that the lead off position group that led to the campaign is in fact designated as a terraced organization in the united states political home. elda 0 at the state department, the,

is there any forces or continuing attacks across the gaza strip, cause at least $33.00 palestinians, and overnight strikes. you and chief, antonio good parish has described the situation as a pulling out of pocket. elliptic strikes have destroyed home schools and markets leaving families homeless and in dire need of aid. let's speak to tamika, but assume his internal bothering central gaza as a topic in the past 24 hours. we've seen some pretty horrific images of the attack on the market and gaza city. some of the incentives once again hit by is ready strikes yeah, main civilian sentences, unpopulated to periods have been widely targeted in the course of the past few hours in the northern part of cons, i also involves a 68. we know that there is been an ongoing the military ration taking place in the notes of the stripe in big la. yeah. and can jamalia,

but we have been getting reports during that hours this morning that there has been a notable intensification of strikes the old bait lafayette town where a group of civilians went targeted at least 8 palestinians without consent killed while 20 others wounded. that we've got really distressing images and seems 4 victims being completely pro to the nearby medical centers. i throw out a horse, travel, carriage and lights of the full suspension of medical services in terms of the movement of implants isn't civil defense. why? cuz in the north of the territory, but also elsewhere in garden city, there was a residential building that is a, that is approximately 4 story building that was targeted and to allow civilians are still under the ruffles and address corporations are still under way in order to recover them under the central area the, the situation is the best for it carries we can see as many terms and it's kind of the central areas of gauze. and we can also types of information from several

different sources saying that for civilians were recovered, aged from a roughly 16 and the south of the strip as they were to click ended on what transported to must have hospital to receive essential medical treatment needs. and sorry, can we understand the us cuts out the key on egypt or pushing for a ceasefire? it's difficult to know whether that's gaining any momentum whatsoever at the moment though all the while from so the u. k. a pushing is around to come up with this winter humanitarian plan for god's i. what's your sense of the tag? is any of this having any impact? well, what we see on the ground is that a number of regional and neighboring countries are taking the lead to carry out some sort of new rounds of negotiations in order to reach us the fire, which is spelled on homeless. and it's huffman delights of the repeated merit come close to a bring back achievable, especially that yesterday the president selected donald trump has issued us top,

holding for an immediate 20th of these when hostages held by how much threatening of the city consequences say in health to be paid if this demands was not bad before he officially takes on his office. this is a very the huge impacts on that because of negotiations, especially when they, as well as on how most um, basically uh the uh, the code for a when so humanitarian plan as indicates. it's very remarkable concerns about the 4 digit, your rating humanitarian conditions. first the gaza strip, but it does not directly pressure and israel for a ceasefire deal, but there's 2 main sticking points that we know as well. and how often times of hostages release. and in terms of the oh, so the is where the withdrawal from the gaza strip, the interplay between the military actions, the hostage negotiations. and in fact, the humanitarian, put the human at target consent. how complicated the,

the ability to reach a final resolution regarding the piece by a defect is ref, historically, use what has intensified it's military actions on the ground before the possibility to reach any c 5, v o 2. now we're waiting for further flexibility to be shown we as well and homeless in order to make that the a triple button. no further details yet. imagine regarding any of that waiting for the outcome of this phone. definitely, conversations that is taking place currently in cairo, showing many sites the topic, assume that with the view from gaza, let's take you to lab and on now and developments. the lebanese health ministry says at least 9 people have been killed. and a series of is ready as strikes on to shop in town, as well as ami says it's retaliating up that has been a loan for rockets for the 1st time since the cx 5 was agreed. the arm group fund missiles into an area called mount dulls. that's the case. it didn't share,

but firms, which is occupied by israel st. ahold as well from favorite has been lost for the 1st time fired rockets across the borders saying it targets it. and this really military position in an area disputed by 11 on it said that it was an initial defensive warning. and that is carried out the attacker as a warning to israel, which continues, according to hezbollah, to violate the terms of the ceasefire agreement as well called its a mistake, a grave violation and its promise to a harsh response. it did carry out a series of airstrikes, the largest wave of strikes since the cease fire took effect last week, and 9 people were killed in 2 towns in southern lebanon earlier in the day. 2 other people were killed. so 1111, these were killed in the past 24 hours now. wow, that's these fire holds, no doubt. it sounds on a shaky ground. israel is trying to create a new reality,

how it understands the terms of the agreement that it has a right to carry out attacks and strikes on what it considers threats by has but loss has velocity, use it differently. and the reason it's, you know, when it's launch that a rocket attack, it's followed the current statements by both united states and funds to members of a committee that's supposed to implement and monitor the ceasefire. saying that israel violated the 2. so what as well as trying to do is create a situation where it can act with little restraint against any position it considers a threat to a handle. they'll just say the police in georgia. if i take gas and demonstrate is so angry about a government decision to delay told some joining that you were being you and us present job. i didn't this criticize by republicans and his own policy of repub system the

i had a lot of the weather's turned a lot colder across the europe with the start of a new week. and we're going to see more unsettled weather in the days that were some wintery features touching into central parts of europe up in scandinavia. and we are likely to see some snow moving into scotland on choose day. so there's a went to web affecting western pods. it is looking much dry out east, but it remains rather gray and gloomy. we still got those unsettled weather conditions from the remains of storm barbara, affecting cypress and moving into a key to eventually there that event. now on wednesday, it's gonna get more unsettled across the mediterranean for the val eric islands, as well as northern parts of africa. and italy. reign will push back into greece. we've got amber, lots out for thunder. storms and some heavy rain. they're slipping, quieter across central parts of europe with quite a bit of cloud around frosty and foggy features as well. there's that heavy range

starting to pull into island, still some dry and bright to spells for britain. now in terms of temperatures, it is going to get cold across the board. but the good news is we will see some wounds coming back into london by the end of the week ahead of that cloudy and dell, the chance of rain on thursday, but sunshine on friday morning, the many in taiwan believe a chinese invasion is an old to be upfront and some are preparing. the military is cutting several middle of the island, a $25.00 to diligently trains of civil defense costs. be good to be come back to read for the day and she hopes would never have to cross generational experiences this winter tactics. witness divided straits on

a jersey to the the the you watch the, i'll just say or i his or mind about top stories. this hour, so in opposition sizes, say that would funds thing and government held territory and of seize control of several towns in the north west. and i'm a province the city now. i mean with the help of the russian forces this responding with strikes is ready for us is a continuing attacks across the gaza strip coming at least 33 palestinians on tuesday. that includes age and big life as well. carried out and driven to tack on a group of civilians. at least 9 people have been killed in this way. the ass tried some southern level and shows on the sizes retaliating off the hezbollah launch

rockets for the 1st time since the cx 5 was agreed. the on group has accused israel of filing signatures at least 56 people have died in a stem page of the football match and getting security forces 5 tea, a guy suspect pages of to they threw stones on to the pitch that goes talk has more the panic on the football pitch. what was supposed to be a family friendly sunday night match? that'd be in victoria stadium in getting for us to region. turns deadly. the referees last minute decision to award a penalty to the home team sparks and received supporters of the visiting team, throw water bottles and rocks on the pitch. security forces responded by firing tear gas on to fans in this dance, thousands attempt to escape the overcrowded stage and meant to hold far fewer people in the desperate scramble to escape. many teenagers and children died suffocating and trampled into chaos. and again,

i see i'm not going to be that so could be named government assures the population that serious investigations will be carried out to establish responsibility for this unfortunate event. sports should be a vehicle for peace and fraternity. the tournament was an attempt by the unpopular government to gain sympathy among guinea and suffering from poverty and the high cost of living the government. all the agenda is, has a kind of even essential fear, like related to those kind of events being transformed into a position or project even as close size to the region. in order to the agent, our families have been blocked by security forces, from reaching more extend a hospitals inside a dr. describe bodies lying. as far as i can see, nicholas hawk algebra, nobody use will protest so expected in georgia with demonstrates is gathered for 5th straight nights on monday, the demonstrations book roads and launch fireworks of

police who responded with 2 gas and was that kind of one of $200.00 protests isn't being detained, and a 100 police officers injured. critics accused the ruling georgia dream party of adopting repressive policies as to the country away from its pro european tough. like script, obviously, executive director of the democratic security institute as an independent think time focusing on democracy and security and you raise you, he says many georgians feel they've been denied for they've been working towards for decades. the dns, hence wave of i'm gonna select the country in the past week shows absolutely no sign. if we're basing protests a huge, nevermind for a high numbers. there was some discussions that made because today was a working day that might be a bit smaller, but no the immense them. is there anything i need rubbing their progress spoke here? it's been easy. been the 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 ways which road to, to put it bluntly pretty by. i've seen myself my own eyes. i had to show through that church by so by please be taught people in the churchyard. i don't see it. you know, there's lots of footage of people being chased through the streets and beat not maybe 1012 police people be small protests as to that level of police brutality that we see has actually caused even more anger amongst many georgians. when the opposition did stops to process the election results, which happens of insult type and those protests did not really take off. the julian populace did not re, on mass come out to protest of 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 he didn't express meant that they were

completely spontaneous. in fact, the opposition need is completely failed to rally, best supposes, and this sort of way. so actually these protest as don't really have a need to, should they really have any organization. so it's just the way that she anger directed against what that people hit, sees the as been trailed off decades of george and efforts to join your opinion. the french government is on the verge of collapse, of the prime minister pushed to a budget without parliamentary approval of the rivers and gives the opposition with parties on the left. and right, filing a confidence motion against michelle bonnie and i have enough votes to force him out, i could take place as soon as wednesday. the white house is defending president joe biden suspicion department. his son hunter biden was facing jail time off. that his conviction for gun ownership violation and tax evasion fight and had repeatedly said he wouldn't use is already to pub in on to biden warren. dave can meet his

sentence by white house correspondent, can we? how can, as well as us president joe biden touch down and then go on monday. the decision to pardon his son hunter dominated the headlines back home at a white house event in washington. first lady to live in told reporters the, the 4th of november election 5 and repeatedly insisted he'd do the opposite. 100 biden was convicted of gun crimes and tax evasion, and face jail time. i said if i buy the trigger decision, i will do that. all my partner that on sunday, the democratic president reverse this decision, arguing his son was the victim a political persecution, saying hunter was singled out because of who he is. republican president elect, donald trump on his platform. truth, social,

criticize the part in question defined and would also commute sentences of those who attacked the us capital in january 6th and then attempt to overturn the result of the 2020 us election does the part and given by joe to hunter include the j 6 hostages, he asked, i am sure that uh, president trump is going to use this as an excuse for every pardon and he's been threatening to make. in particular, he's threatening to pardon all of the people who are involved in january 6th hunter . biden's. pardon, isn't unprecedented. usually clemency is granted to those like the j 6 prisoners who have served partial sentences. the president's son hasn't serv, jail time for his recent convictions. what is unusual is that in addition to his part in for gun and tax crimes, he's been pardoned for all charges he could face in the future. the white house and says hunter bivens sweeping pardons are necessary to protect the 1st son from any

politically motivated investigations by the incoming trump administration. kimberly hilton alpha 0. the white house, the 2nd to the interior now with millions of kilograms of illegal drugs are being seized every year. the problem is so bad that the head of the drugs enforcement agency is demanding the president impose the state of emergency. he says, millions of nigerians are using drugs and the situation is which crisis point i'm an interest as well from like us legally. and i'll read this back. it's been another busy for now, jitters, law enforcement ages, as the traffic is continued to try to fight the country with elicit drugs. from harrowing, cocaine and kennedy's commit, something put them in. they arrived these guys, this medicines for an electrical appliances, law enforcement agency, but in the last 3 years, they've intercepted 9000000 kilograms of trucks. one of them, a virus,

over the volume of seizures, these are huge. and yet, um, these people are assist searching the targeting country and the last 3 years. i'll tell you about that. we've had the more about 50 to a 1000 hours. these reco enforcement agents are preparing to rate an area notorious for drug dealing. they acting on a trip off from an agent embedded in the community after so 2 minutes search, they find nothing. most of the times they have boys by mail. yeah, boys at the junction. and so the moment the see any of our life will pass the notice as go around have been most of the element of surprise become boy was so just through just to cause to read another area on the outskirts of time. the dealers, mostly young men, took to high ground and escaped to no arrest. but some substances had been

recovered. normally we come, yeah. every this, i read to this on, on a very simple note, we can give that to you. i was thinking 30 bags of kind of you said to us through team rates like this, you'd a fraction of the millions of kilograms of illicit drugs have come into nigeria every year. office. just say most of the drugs arrive the country through its land seats and apple. it's especially cocaine headwind and put them in. however, most of the categories is locally grow. the united nations office on drugs projects a 40 percent increase in drug use in africa by 2030. and i didn't know if he should say they want to prevent that happening here. how many degrees? i would just get out lagos. if you had to me is probity tycoon sentenced to death for a multi $1000000000.00 for it has lots of appealing court. truly, my line is being found guilty of bribery and embezzlement for siphoning off more

than $12000000000.00 from one of vietnam's commercial banks. another 85 people were tried alongside the 68 year old. all of them were found guilty. the court has told land the sentence could be commuted to life imprisonment. if she's able to attend 3 courses of the money. michael tusky is a journalist and has she been city and i was pulling the case. i think this will start to generate a lot of interest and more questions about you know, whether, whether this sentence will actually be carried out to be made. government is very secretive about the death penalty. it's not uncommon for cases or to people's for people to spend a long time on death row. and there's still the possibility of converting those to a life sentence, or should re pays 75 percent of the amount. and then the question which will come out to about $9000000000.00. but certainly here in richmond city, even with the assuming conclusion, there's still a lot of questions about what will happen with the the very prominent property is the launch company.
