global audience, why it's important because impacts their lives at the height of the storm. to hi, bye hey, this is an important part of the world. people pay attention to this very good at bringing the news to the world. from here, the story is government loses control of its 4th largest city to opposition fighters for the 1st time in more than a decade the i'm sort of a, it's good to have you with us. this is elva 0. life of the also coming up is really forces hit another residential building in northern gaza, adding to dozens of people killed across the strip the search for a new french prime minister and he showed about new resigns after

a vote of no confidence leads the government in a turmoil and a step by step process, we meet a ukrainian teenager who last for leg and russians bombing the playground. the opposition fighters have captured another of serious for largest cities. the takeover of hama comes just days after they seized the commercial hub of a level. and a surprise advance from the north syrian government troops admit that they've lost control of hama and say that they've withdrawn from the city of the days of intense fighting. it is the 1st time president bashar assad government has been in charge of the city since has not been in charge of the city since the beginning of the conflict in 2011. the u. k. based syrian observatory for human rights says, all positions fighters, no control the police headquarters in the air base in the central prison, where they have released hundreds of inmates. first of all, sort r as in killers,

just north of the turkish syrian border. and has this update for the city, no physician forces have to change the control of the city off. how about the 4th largest city and city? and this is the 2nd major game of the seasonal position off. they're taking control of apple. the 2nd largest city of syria almost a week ago. and now we have seen that the position of fights is moved and more are getting to the city center, and they are we in the prisoners. and also we have seen that some of the residents of homa are welcoming the for the, the, the position fighters. and also they're celebrating what they call the liberation of the city. and all the other hand, the goldman forces had withdrawn from the city. and now they are re position out of the city and they say that the reason they have done it that they left the city is to avoid the civilian the further civilian losses. but is not only the city of how

much that is now under the control of the position they have taken the control of, of how much military effort as well. and that is one of the major media tables. and that has played a crucial role in a provides conducted by the city and government over the course of the city of the city and civil war that started in 2011. now the city and government has not control over the military bases. and that's a huge blow for city and government, and mostly as backers, you wrong and russia. now the forces are saying that they're going to go further south and eventually trying to seize and taking the control of homes as well. and homes is the 3rd largest city of syria. if they can manage to do that, if they take the control of homes, then they say that they are not going to stop there. they're going to go further south and eventually trying to take control of the mass because the capital of the country. and of course as of now, it is extremely difficult. and let's listen live now to the un secretary general

until you the chair is discussing the situation in serious us the latest. i emphasize the need for the media to manufacture and excess to well cvd and the needs and very tight. and so he went assessing, he said he's political process to and the blood shrimps, as all foxes auto or blue gates and the international law to protect civilians. now these leave us to fantasies was long seen through government control . that is by i had studied all sham groups sanctioned by the security council along with the all the ranges about that item, the position groups it as a lab to significant shifts in the front lines and then as of thousands of civilians are at risk in the region already on fires, we have seen the beat, the fruits of a currently collect the failure of previous vs collection arrangements to produce a general nationwide ceasefire or

a serious political process to implement security council resolutions. these must change. after 14 years of conflicts, it is all right side for all part of is to engage seriously, we'd get a better set and by especially invite for the cdn to finally chart the new includes even the comprehensive approach to resolving these guys is in line with security calling so resolution 2254. it's time for city is by walk. in other words, to the store, to see to so what i need to do, you need the independence that he thought of integrity and meeting delusions, team investigations of the cd and people syria is across the civilized section. and these, these painful to see it's progress. the fragmentation during my tenure,

it is i commission to 4 that fee, jeez, i with this the most. and that all is if you have a seat in people opening that hearts and that homes through countless, you'd get effigies that would no refugee counting cdn packages, leaves them on the seed in people us and it's but it's my heart to see that suffering grow along with the so that's the regional and the needs international security. i want us to get all those we leave for us to do that about for the long suffering people of cdn. and i think thank you. thank you very much. all right, you've been listening to the un secretary general antonio gutierrez and he just discuss the situation in syria. albeit briefly. let's go to kristin's salumi, else is there as christine salumi, who reports from you in headquarters in new york. what do you take away from that? kristin? i was just. i'm looking through my notes. if this was very brief,

was really short by gutierrez. yeah, i think it was a call to action on the situation in syria, mid this rapidly deteriorating situation, which the unit un is very concerned about. the secretary general said that the situation now is the bitter fruit of a chronic collective failure of previous the escalation arrangements to produce a serious political process and to implement security council resolution. so this is a call to action to get not only both parties to the conflict back to the negotiating table, including when he described as a broad range of opposition groups that include high out to rear alshaun and the assad government in syria. but also international players who have been very active in this conflict and some of whom are on the security council and at odds over what

is taking place there. namely russia and syria. we've had 2 meetings on the situation in syria, in the security council this week, and russia and the united states had been going at it pointing fingers and accusing each other of causing the instability that's happening in syria right now. but by way of background, it was back in 2015 that the security council was in agreement. they passed a resolution $2254.00 which laid out a process for a ceasefire. and for bringing all of the parties together to have democratic reforms in the country in 2020, there was a ceasefire negotiated by russia and the ron. and since then, the negotiations have just stalled. there has not been the political will or the pressure from outside, frankly, to get the parties back to the table. and we've heard it year after year since 2020 by the special envoy here. that there is no progress being made on these political

reforms. so when clearly the opposition group saw the opportunity, they sprang and to action, trying to take advantage of the situation. and now of course it's civilians who are paying the price tens of thousands of them on the move in syria. so i believe that this was a, the secretary general gently nudging the international players here to get the parties back to the table and work on the basis of that agreement from 2015, which has never been implemented. christian salumi reporting from you in headquarters in new york. thank you very much, chris. at least gives you more context on why the story and opposition is capture of hama, which we were describing earlier is so important. so look at the map and bear with us. there's a lot to take in here at the city of homage, strategically located 200 kilometers north of the capital of damascus. a 130 kilometers south of cereals, 2nd largest city level. it's considered crucial to syrian government forces as a buffer against attacks on damascus. it also borders attack,

a coastal region controlled by the assad government and home to a strategic russian naval base. now, has long been a hub of opposition against the assad government in 2011 and hosted some of the biggest protests of the syrian uprising which were met with violent crackdowns. and infamously, in 1982, it was the site of a brutal massacre. up to $40000.00 people were killed during an uprising against the current president, father hafez assad. why that's been relatively quiet since 2012. i'm a remains a symbol of opposition resistance. robin guys penfold is a lecture of peace and security at durham university in the u. k, and he explains why the capture of hama is so significant, as well as the opposition manages. do not just take her but hold it. it would have an such strategic and symbolic significance for the serial position. and indeed for the syrian regime and its back is starting with the symbolic

implications. now you mentioned that how much has been under regime control for a very long time. but actually, honda is also the birthplace of sony. on is the best resistance against the best policy in the box regime of at the charlotte side and his father, based on a site to it goes by a long time. and actually how it was leveled by the shows father in 1982 where it rose up, the city rose up against the best policy. and basically the regime slots in the city, coining tom from the journalist home friedman's to have a rules where basically no forward time regime and them at least one ruthlessly crushed. and he just said back, killed the offensive bothers him up to 40000 people. that's nearly as many them out of sidney is israel is killed and it's offensive in golf for. yeah, but the regime did it in a month, so it will be significantly symbolic for them to take it. but also strategic taking

how that would open up the road homes. it would open up the road to damascus. but also it would put the syrian provinces in hall spacing west and syria. the part to have access to the mediterranean sea will be cut off from the rest of the country. and this is where the opposition has to be very careful because russia has enabled bodies tosses on the west of serious. that is russia's only naval base in the mediterranean sea. so i think it's the revel actually managed to. i find the stuff full. russian may start to change its priorities and ship. it's attention away from friends like you trained towards making sure that naval base does not full. the in gaza. dozens of palestinians have been killed in multiple is really or strikes on thursday in the north. they attacked a residential building and bait. la ha, at least 15 palestinians were killed. there are many injured including children.

and is really drones have shot and people inside the come all at one hospital, at least 7 people or dead hospital staff or among those injured israel has targeted the hospital multiple times, which is 0 is honey, not moody is in darrow butler. that's in the central part of the gaza strip. honey, i understand that there's been an attack just in the last couple of hours on the bait law here in the northern part of augustus fit. what do you know about that? yes, well i mean we can't really keep up with the number of attacks on the amount of one hospital in its vicinity as just the past hours i've been in quite violent, been and bloody. and these attacks are not accidental. they are deliberately, are directed to the hospital, it's facility, the medical staff and the patients inside just the past couple hours been quite violent. then unplugged it, we've seen some of the city that were presented to us that would people soaked in a blood. and one case of that we looked start with the heart breaking one as

the intimidation and knowing that inside the hospital is not safe as increasing the psychological trauma and deepening the fear that not even a hospital save for them 15 more people were killed in a residential home. and part of the body of this is part of the ongoing genocide, the acts on the ground, that it, whatever was the and within the past few days, concerts you said it's nick, it's lindsey because people under here people. 5 that have been a driven and always force out of their home to do a lot. i do. do java city do not attempt to empty the northern part of gaza. 3 more people at the northern gate or come out. one house with the killing does not have stopped the keeps continuing in a very violent, very bloody way. again, these are not accidental. the odds the are happen would intend to destroy with it intend to cause civilian casualties and true level of destruction. death did not a stop since the day follows october, 7, hunting, not mood,

the the you are watching else 0 reminder of our headlines this, our opposition forces have captured syria's 4th largest city. active is say they have sees control of how much they are based police headquarters and present. so in government, troops say they have a re, based outside of a city. in gaza. dozens of palestinians have been killed in multiple is really or strikes on thursday. at least 15 palestinians have been killed when israel attacked the residential building. and based on here, there are many injuries, including children, french prime minister in each of them has resigned after losing a no confidence motion in parliament. but he will stay on as cure. take

a prime minister until president amendment macklin finds a successor for him. is minority government was top of my left and right wing and peas, and the vote for pushing through a controversial sturdy flush. it is the 1st time in more than 60 years that the french government has lost such a boat. so let's go straight down to 0. as natasha butler, you are joining us from paris. natasha. my cool, lost his embattled prime minister runners through what's happening at the moment and how the french feel about all of this. so, yeah, that's why it's a french apartment. it's michelle vanya well, no apartment is that because he has resigned from mike crow, the french president has all seem to stay on. and it kind of take a role until he find someone else for the job. and that is what he's doing at the moment he is talking to those around him. we know that he's met with the edge of the senate, the hedge of the national assembly. we know you also have lunch with a very close ally of him for also a baby who is also the head of a centrist policy,

the man of the southern town in france. could he be the next to the prime minister? certainly he is one of the names that is circulating in terms of what ordinary people think that hey, on the street so far, so pleasing to into some. and there was just a sense that a lot of people just fed up with the whole thing. the political calles on time will many say said just they've had enough just to bounce. you've been pissed on that. i do. i'm not the president. i think he knows better than me what to do quite from somebody i really and hot water and we're not going to get out of the i think the president will find a way to find a new prime minister. i think he's a very competent man and i fully trust him. he is not going to do that point us. he will do what he's needed. the right, the testers runners through what happens next. you told us he's having lunch with some potential problem mist ministerial candidates. what, what,

what happens from this moment for the, quote, the weights and see who michael may or may not the point. what we do know is that michael will address the nation at 8 o'clock in the evening of french time. now willie, come up with a name, then it would be very short notice if so, but he mind too many people saying that michael might want to point someone rapidly because just in a couple of days. so i most not as a, he has the grant, we have no time can see to the powers as the states are coming in. also coming in the us presence, alexis donald trump is going to be, i think, of friends and sunny and my to michael does not want to have shadowed by political chaos. but the time sheet named somebody say false, that's a problem. and whoever takes the job is going to be really challenging for them because they're gonna have to try to form a government. the probably worries have a majority and work in

a deeply divided apartments here and phones and the passion about the reporting from powers. thank you. very much natasha. this is how can we is governing people? power parties says it will oppose saturdays impeachment. motion brought by the office ition and follows president eunice oak y'all's failed attempt to impose martial law. plunging the nation into a crisis. the police are investigating him for insurrection, a crime that carries the death penalty. and his former defense minister is facing a travel band run the bride reports from so in the national assembly that he tried to side line with a declaration of martial law. president, june sick y'all is facing growing efforts to oust him opposition, policies pushing and impeachment motion say unit appears to have been rooted by a lukewarm response from the military corners funds you can make fortunately, many troops refused to complain with this upset commodity people. even those offices and soldiers who followed the orders to try to minimize home to civilians,

they made efforts to reduce destruction to avoid it using firearms and refrain from causing the full injuries, opting instead for the bare minimum action is required of them. moreover, it was thanks to the courageous efforts of party officials aged makers and the citizens who woke from their beds in the dead of the night and rushed to the national assembly that these 2 attempt what's toward south korea's national assembly will vote on president june's impeachment this saturday, so whatever the outcome, many people here believe his field fated attempt at martial law completely disqualifies him from office. that street protests, people have been cooling for you to go. these 2 college students with just children . the last time mass protest forced a president out of office and i attended the board when he took this with my parents. but now i'm an adult. i felt i needed to step up myself right out there to

i'm, he's home and then what it was unimaginable. i was with a friend when i had the news and i come so many old. the south koreans have painful memories of previous declarations of martial lo, decades ago. and do not want to see over to, especially for what many regard as a domestic political dispute. and present that the current medical situation in south korea did not reach the level to the claim. also, that seems to be a view shed by an increasing number of south koreans with opinion polls showing 3 quarters of people. one president, you removed from office public broad, i'll just say right. so a notice came, went to the rally and so where protest is demanded a huge resignation. south korea marching to the presidential office from hong square. the side of those historic candlelight vigils that successfully as to the

president in 2017. that's the result. many of south prius here want to see the president use on, you know, who had declared martial law in a very short lived way. despite the lack of a military emergency. he was frustrated by the lack of progress since its legislative agenda blocked by an opposition last parliament. and also the scandals that were don't go away involving his wife just like 2 days having passed since that event. he has remained silent despite rolling calls for an apology. now a poll shows that 7 out of 10 south koreans want to see president you from your and peace. and even if the mood here does not seem so serious, they're calling for something serious. they want to see their president's step down . it is kim, how does 0 so a police military and government authorities in northwestern pakistan or meeting to discuss ways to end violence in the region, the khyber but don't quite province shares
