off to reports of opposition, forces involved sink through the eastern country side. now all of this comes just hours. also, position fights is captured, another of syria's big cities, the takeover of how my comes days off to they seize the commercial help of alaska. in a surprise, advance from the north syrian government troops admit they've lost control of hama and say they've withdrawn off the days of intense fights. and that is the 1st time that present the shuttle us, as government hasn't been in charge of the city since the thoughts of the conflict in 2011. now we will be going back to that, but 1st let's take listen to french resume monument khan, who is addressing the nation alternately describing it or to a point. it was the prime minister that will not be rejected after the 1st. no confidence was. that's why i have chosen mister bought me because he was fit and was able to gather the different parties of you assembly of from the center to the

radicals and also the different independent forces. i have led the prime minister lead and also let the parliament itself to do its work. and yesterday the no confidence votes has been passed is today, despite all the work with the difference, probably meant to regroup. this is a new and unprecedented didn't happen since 1962. why? because the left week end or right twink has to and forces in an inside republican front and the forces that are governing friends have to go. so decided to help them . so i know that many are trying to make me or to hold me responsible for this situation because it's more comfortable for them. but i always assumed all my responsibilities, the goods and things as well as the mistakes. but i will never assume responsibilities of others, especially the m p 's, who's just chose willingly to reject the a bunch to and also the government

a few days before christmas and the deputies of the national in the us. i'm pulling us so now have decided also to choose a decision that is insulting their own electors and have subtract chosen because the this organization. and this is what they have in common with the left twink purple people. they say this is not to do things, but to do things and create disorders. why did they choose to act in this way? they are not thinking about what they're not thinking about your answer of the month for your projects or dreams. so they thinking about one thing, which is the presidential elections, they want to precarious, they want to provoke it and to have it into some places. she said this is, and this is in some, in a cynical way and even by creating chaos. so who's on, however, it's forgotten, beautiful. happily, we have to remind to the reality of our constitution in all case, and that is,

there cannot be any new legislative elections before 10 months, and in the congo when circumstances the parliament suits to continue to work for what they were voted for, which has to work for the french people that on innovation with which you cannot wait to act to be useful. the word is moving forward and we need the government that is able to decide and to make decisions. the mandate that you gave me in a democratic from mine there that was for 5 years and i will fully exercise my rights for 35 years. my responsibility is to can make sure that the, all the institutions are functioning correctly and properly the independence and sovereignty of our country. and also the protection of o r. a citizen of been doing this throughout my award during the is from protest during the coverage and the financial crisis and everything that we have been through together as of today. but it is

a new era that has to start as where we have always to act together in order to build for friends and to reach new conference compromises because the planet is moving forwards. and we have several challenges facing us. and we need to be in vicious for friends. we cannot afford divisions. we cannot afford to be more though i'm from. that's why in the coming days or so for the coming days, i will a point and you're minister prime minister and i will task him with performing in you is governments where all the different parts of the fonts and parties can participate. and that's will not be subjected to and no confidence quote, this prime minister will create a new government that will search for your service. the 1st and last priority will be the budget. so there will be in you a special law. is that a will and temporary log will be a submission and this bill will allow the continued see of all the services of the country and also will opt for the choices of 2024 for 2025. and i hope that there

will be a majority that will vote for this bill. all the civil service and all the administration . so we'll continue to work. so these are the home and we'll continue to and i would like to thank all those that are continuing to work and for your dedication for the good function of the country and the beginning of the year. and you watch it will be prepared. this is unfortunate in order to protect the residents against the inflation, and i don't want the different citizens to pay this bill. this is important because it will help the country also to be able to fund our law enforcement to help. and so our, every culture you really get a in the farmers and also to come to the risk you of in you county. don't you, as you know, i can not in naples to be candidates for 2027. so i'm not just,

and this is for this, i don't have this impatient. what is important for me is you have our interest and the interest of the countries we have 13 months until the end of the. it meant that that you gave me, we have 13 months so that the government could act to make friends a stronger and more fear more just the country that is able to produce to print the duct and also to act when it comes to environment to form our and train our use and also to protect our citizens. while we continue to see the world of being hit by different conflicts in the middle east and other parts of the world, we need a stronger friends, friends that is more independent and that is ready maybe to face new conflicts and also to resist and reject or kind of pressure. yes. the 13 months that we have ahead of us should be 13 months of useful actions for the countries. and for that they sent us the government government should work in reality and in touch with

reality. i don't think that the future of friends for kids is from sense would be a better with more taxes or by multiplying the divisions or by events and in our class, climates, ambitions. the government should unite everyone so that we can take the needed actions in the upcoming, 13 months for us and for our children. there's one of them sat today in front of the whole world. we will celebrate the reopening of our natural down category. this category will be given back to the patients and to all the french people and to all the catholics of the world. this projects that we thought was impossible if you remember. and remember, april the night in april, 2019 we were able to deliver, we were able to deliver also with during the olympic games. why? because there was a well and every man and woman has perhaps worked hard to hold the civil service,

the servants, and also the volunteers. everyone played an essential role and we all have a role and a mission that is important than all of us. this is a proof that we are able to achieve impossible things to please the whole world and has, you'll see that have been able to, which is what we can do twice. so that's why we need to have a clear agenda, a clear vision for this upcoming 13 months. the education is clueless, the economy, the climate, etc. we have to take the lead to the actions for the service of our country. we need to government that is able to reach compromises and also to have a great sense of responsibility and respect for the children is if we make the government we want a vulnerable, we can also make the government of the country even more. it would have been stronger and when there is division,

we need to look for unit 2. 1 there is that being said to you, we need always to look for hope and we've done it in the past and we will show the whole world that we are able because i don't know griffith and we are able to do it . and we will do it for our country, for our people, and for the republic. long cliff, the republic lunk, la france, a hi. okay. well, we were just uh, listening that to the french uh, president obama manual with chrome. uh, we were expecting that address. and in that he said that he will be announcing a new prime minister in the coming days. of course that was also michelle bon ya. a resigned offer of votes of no confidence. well, let's go straight to our reports of who's covering the story from paris. natasha butler, latasha. we were expecting a potentially an announcement of a name. he's under a lot of pressure, isn't he? and he says it will be happening in the coming days.

yes, no, surprise. and if you know the french presidency by new michael, if you watch the way he works, he tends to like to see some things and wait to announce things that he doesn't necessarily like to make a false announcement, studies and characters that he said that he would a he would make it same as fast as you apartment is the name one in the next few days. look in my notes in the next few days. it might be in the next weeks. it really depends on whether or not he can find somebody who's going to be so useful for the job. because as he said, they would have to be somebody that will be able to bring people together in a very basic, a frag lenses, landscape period fault based upon them. and the other thing we nods in that speech was, was he said, i'm said you don't resign a volume, i call says he's not going anywhere. he was elected to serve a 5 year term. he said, and that's what he intends to do to serve as until 2027. that have been some pools for him to resign, to get some say through the political chaos and on says and see we've seen and browse is his phone and he address stops as well as the subject of america. he said

that he dissolved the national assembly into the cul de sac selection and he didn't miss it. that it was something that was what people widely misunderstood by many people. he said, i take my responsibility and that is because he has come on to some criticism for that decision. the many say has led to this sort of political table. we said calls today. and um, you know what we were talking hearing from you earlier today. you were saying that lots of, uh, french before so of and different as to what was happening. those are also concerned, especially is vanya. i tried to push a, that's all, start with the budgets. and then he just said that a 1st priority will be the budget, so whoever the next prime minister is likely to be, uh, do you think they would also run into the same kind of trouble? forget anything, pulse or whatever happens uh, the budget is supposed to be policy and frauds by the end of the year. um,

so that is going to be a policy for any next uh, 5 minutes. does that gonna have to get somebody through service who took pulse as opposed to that no confidence versus gates department is michelle. 5 the i have said since some of them, including, for example, the far right, these are more independent so they will work with the next 5 minutes on the budget to make it this would have budget, they want to stay below. it is a typical joke. the next 5 minutes because they're going to be in charge of a government that really most likely will pay a minority government have to have a majority and will rely on this deeply fractured parliamentarian fraud. the fall rights of one big blow people disinterested the middle and you for the left wing in line select from the line say we won this not selection in june. and we've been times like, no say say they don't, but i suppose any future government marine, depending on the far right to say, let's wait and see. it's not looking very good. i mean, i think this is not the end of any political turmoil, and we're going to see

a lot more of this sort of thing in the coming weeks and months even with the next 5 minutes stuff. yeah, absolutely. certainly. uh, we'll definitely be following those latest developments in the coming days, as you said, weeks and months like very much of an update from paris and tasha button the of the right. well, let us return to our top story where the rock pit advanced of opposition finances, taking large posts of lines in syria. now these are pictures on the ground that you're seeing that net homes um to groups on my thing, troops and equipment as they head towards sir, is the largest city. now if the city is captured, it would threaten the government's link lots between damascus the capsule and it's coastal from hold of let's talk here. and also these pictures, hey, that you are seeing. those are the latest one. so showing congested streets and home sits in the us because residents are scrambling it seems to escape heading

towards the syrian coast off the reports of the opposition forces advancing through the eastern country sides. um, well, all of that now is the syrian defense minister speaking right now. so that system and i would like to agreed to our and to a degree our of forces for their i'm are, while i would like to say that we are in good positions in the battlefield. and also our forces were able to re gain control of some areas in order to bring security and safety. and sometimes a for military calculus, we need to withdrawal to spread better the people of syria with all the it's a commands and with its people and its soldiers is able to overcome all the challenges in the field. no matter how difficult are those challenges. after the spreading of our forces outside how much in order to protect the lives of the

citizens and civilians. and after that, the terrorist took over this and the country and the city. they are trying to create a propaganda and spreading a wrong and false information of about our forces. they are trying to spread k os and misinformation, and those organizations could also make some statements or a fake orders in the name or, or spread some or release information in the name of the, of our forces. but it is a true and it's fabricated. it's defined mated, they will use a i to spread those wrong information. i call on our people civilians and military to be aware of the risks of this miss information. and this information campaign you need to be aware and to stick only to the information that are released by the national and state run tvs. i'd like to confirm that what happened and how much is

only a tactic. our forces are still surrounding the outskirts of the city of hama, and they are highly prepared in order to carry out all their constitutional and national duties. we call our people in a syria to be patient and also to be sure that we are not, as we are not sparing any efforts to bring back security and safety to all the country. our army, as you know, with us for a while, the previous years will remain in the main forces that will protect you from all those or trying to mess with the national security. and that, that i know you're right. well, that was the, the syrian defense minister, the speaking, it was a recorded message, a very defiant message and fox saying that we all mean will protect you. but also importantly saying that the forces are still surrounding him and that they're ready

to carry out. the constitutional rights defend themselves, as well as the syrian population will let us go straight to garcia and sent me the turkish syria border bunk beds and they root. first of all, let's speak to what we have. several reports is on this and site. we have a st but strongly that in uh, b roots. we have, um, uh, i do have that in iraq. i know. so we'll go to go to the answer so so thought that the surfaces you've got to the end to restore. let's talk too fast. um, i don't know if you had a charles to hear the syrian defense minister that was very defined messages. we heard what was happening though, from what you want to sign in terms of in homes and how much was it is you just state and what see they actually are me. it's ration of the statement that was really, is really today by do sending and government super saying that they have withdrawn

from this a do of hama, and they have re positioned their uh army outside of the city. however, they have not abundance the area. so that is simply administration for what they have said earlier today. so not today by noon time have seen that to a position forces starting, getting entering into the city or from uh, the 4th largest city or syria, particularly for them. the eastern side, which has been a couple of days that actually fires with intensifying more and more between the position and the government forces. so the position but yesterday on they started to through and then clear around the city. and while there was a huge resistance from the city and government forces and the northern side do position forces not by h. d has decided to go to, to the east all over the city. and then today they have managed, entered into city,

and then they rapidly admins to where the city center was. after that, the government announced that they have the throne, they forces now the position forces there are saying that given the guarantees to the muslims, to the minorities, the christian communities or the x, saying that they saved with these on the be guarantees. and also, while this is happening, the procedure for start seeing that, that going to be that going to had further south toward the city of homes, which is the largest, the 3rd largest city. i know already the forces are heading toward the city of homes because they believe that if they gave me enough time to the city a government, they're going to regroup and reorganize. they do not want to give that time to the city a government. that's why they wrapped them, you know, the seems to go to the city of homes. and as these names and reports are coming in, many people in homes, but the doors were loyal to the city and government are extremely cautious and

extremely. so the state of know and of course is one of the concerns. and now the getting the reports and the images the veto is that many or people are now given on the cause and some of them heading toward the capital city. the mask is roughly around 180 kilometers sold to the city of homes and rest of the people. many of them are heading towards the cost of the city off for a for sale. yeah. the yeah. which is the strong hold of the city and government. so no one to, to access that one. had the procedure forces are trying to clean the city, take it home. the 1st of all did the control because they believe that steel, there might be some sleep is some of the, some, some, some of the sounds of the senior government. there might be some of the tubs. and also they're trying to get the control and the order in place, but as a power to play it. but as a pedal track, they are also now marching toward the city of homes. and of course these they

manage to see is the city of homes, which is just 45 kilometers from a, from home on the managed to take the control of the city of homes. this is going to be a huge blow for the city and government's forties. main becker's run and run as of this day. the position takes the control of the home. so it means that the syrian government practically is not in control of the majority of the company. both in terms of the population and in terms of the land and 40 or 40 run, it means that it is going to news is land, but ages between a rock to level and on for support of russia. another major back as of the syrian government. it will raise the 2 major russians, military bases may, may, it'd be the name of the base in talk to, you know, oh degrees. and of course they do not want to see these pictures. however, as of now, what we see is that the position is much stronger than have seen in 2016 when they

were losing the battle terribly in apple. but on the other hands, man. and he's so seating government, russia and you're on on in a much weaker position. okay. and we heard from the service department as to the saying that lots of misinformation was being spread by these opposition groups. the accusing them of using a i, as well as propaganda, but how much we're talking about overseas trying to expand and reach the mass coast . but what is the end goal here as well? for, for now, there are expositions from both sides to what are the each are there however, as of now, one thing is clear that there has not been when we compare the $4.00 to 2016 when the, how the bubbles were taking place. the box shock is not definitely as equal as what you have seen,

relatively these fake or where the position forces are happening without almost have bloss shot them. because of couple of the reasons. first, the position has transformed low since 2016, but on the other hand, the government forces and it's backwards mainly of russia ford. in this case, they do not have enough equipment enough abilities to conduct the heavy strikes, the strikes against the opposition forces. here, that's why they're now rapidly advancing. so now of course, the, the defeating government sources for that accounts and bill officials are part, are trying to save the phase to see that they did not lose the control yet. but the situation on the field is quite wor, assign full force on for the, the, for the city of government in the past. because because as of now, there are some of the reports coming in that the scene in the position of fighters

are having to the total press done, which is almost seen between the me, the or city of how much and homes. and that is quite a rapid advents. it is unprecedented. and so far they have not met and it is, this is from the government, the government defense lines. so as the physician fights, as a now heading towards homes. so the video is the document in the document, the themes people are leaving the city of homes and not the only residents of the city of homes, but the seed and officials, including the minute the officials are that created this time. and so this shows a level of the mystery as to what the 2 would need to do with the city and government. and of course, as of now, it's not clear when the c a u and government and his beckers are going to be able to stop this rapid ad vince for of the student or position just in a, a kind of period or a week. the city will position has managed to take the control of the company,

2nd largest city level and the 4th largest city hulma within bays. this is quite a piling thing. it's sold shows that the stage is good. that was in place. these 2016 has shot to it's called labs, and now the syria, that new phase, the new city is absolutely something different than a week ago. and we do not know where the story is going to your goals as of now. you. okay, thank you. very much for that, the latest update that on what's happening in syria, and let's go to another about all the 0 correspondence. so high a hell of who's in l. c. square in the hearts of how my city now people have been coming out onto the streets and there also seems the celebrations as well as opposition of finances and turned out his, his report from inside. hum, fix of opposition fighters have now entered aisle seat main square in the heart of

comma. each group entering start celebrating firing their guns in the air. not only is the entire hum, a province circled by opposition fighters. they've also penetrate the city permits, eastern side and nadia. i wanna know if it's on a wire or what is worth noting here is that the residence diploma city has come out to the street welcoming the opposition by thursday. and we were surprised. see residents taking to the streets, given the dire situation. local residents came out to celebrate as groups of opposition. fighters continued to enter the city after the government forces the web, the city, the saba wilds, and where all of us sort of the on. we're in all of the square in the heart of hama, it carries great symbolism among the syrians and the revolution. this square used to be packed with civilians rallying against the government. when the syrian revolution 1st began, yet the city was controlled by the government in 2011. the city was in the government's iron grip. opposition fighters were engaged in fierce fighting with

government troops in the west of the city. you get the opposite and seize control of the home, a military air base then penetrate the city from the west side. after that, the roads, the center of hama was clear ahead of them was the how does that fit just kept? the same scenario was repeat in east where the opposition rece thomas central prison, and freed all the prisoners who, after that the entire city was wide open to them. oh. here is another group entering the city. they're celebrating to firing in the air. they continue to arrive in the heart of the cities main square. well, the lead of hezbollah. nothing on says the group will continue to support serious president named carson quotes here in opposition. fights is terrorist and says they won't be bringing down. but shortly. assad government, he also promises hezbollah fights. this will help prevent them from achieving the goals. since 2013, the lebanese on the group has been a key ally of the funders. human was instrumental in helping him seize,

revel controlled areas. well, for more on this we have zane, mister avi, who's joining us live from bay roots your 11 on that's rights on the board with syria. it says columbus is as important out all of this rights off to the sci fi. do what happens between israel and hezbollah in opposition? forces kick into action. that is correct. did it there? there was a lot that named custom said in very few words in his speech this evening. let's look at exactly some of what he said. he said that his bullet will stand beside the syrian government admitted a made in advance by what he described as the terrorist groups. now he did not share any specific details as to exactly how that support would go. but he said that we are facing a very dangerous is really middle eastern project. so really in connecting the dots here really pointing to who they see is as the primary focus of,

of troubles in the region. and they have just immersed from a conflict with israel that in many ways it's still carrying on. we're still getting reports of raids by is really.
