other folks tanita of has the, in lebanon, says the group will continue to support series. president named has something called the syrian opposition, fight is terrorist and said they won't bring down by a loss of government since 20 this. the teen. the group has been a key ally of the outside government. it was instrumental in helping him seize rebel controlled areas of 13 years of war in syria have killed more than $350000.00. people displaced millions and toned the country a part. let's take a look at some of the key turning points in this conflict. as it began with peaceful protests in damascus and at the us government's violent response to these demonstrations led to an uprising. the conflict intensified in the battle of a level beginning which, which would become one of the longest bouts, bouts of fighting opposition forces captured large parts of the city. the syrian army then recaptured it in 4 years later. in 2013

a chemical weapons attacked in eastern goods i killed hundreds of civilians. this prompted international condemnation and led to syria agreeing to destroy its chemical weapons stockpile. i still declared color for it across syria and wrong of capturing laws swedes of territory, including rocca which became the de facto capital in syria. the reign lost it until 2019 after the group lost its last hold out in the town of fuckers. russia then began direct ministry intervention to support assets. government, russian, and strikes, helped turn the tide in favor of government forces. the us then got involved launching missiles, strikes against the syrian government targets in response to a chemical weapons attack. and consequently, it was the 1st direct of military action against us odds forces, all the intensity of fighting decreased over the past 4 years. the conflict became a frozen one until alms groups launched a lightning operation last week from

a live. earlier my colleagues side of highlight spoke to rush as a deputy invested it to the you. when about the situation in syria. she started by asking him how far most go support for damascus will go. so while we confirm that we stand with the syrian government, what we stand with the lawyer in order, and we confirmed that so that we are ready to render any support student to student government that needs when. oh, in the process of consultations to establish what kind of supports would be most practical and most needed. uh, not only from russia but for almost done like countries such as i think that will be for the consultations in this format. so we are, the reality is that syria is now facing an attack from uh, a 3rd is group, which is uh, let me smallest to be tender is by the security council. and this additional makes the even western countries a little bit uncomfortable, not to mention those countries who have

a friendly relations with celia. and suddenly russia seems to be restricted. it seems perhaps in how much it can support syria with app. how given, of course, the conflict in ukraine is not the case. i don't think that's a possibility. is our code failed? of course. uh, the especially with reparation in ukraine is our priority. but it doesn't mean that we let down, obviously it in france, and i think that's how i'm able to the comment. i can uh, control both situation and manage it in, in due course. you would just referring that to the discussions that you have been having not just the syria but the stronger countries. now what kind of discussions is most go having with this damascus right now, and what areas are you covering? what sorts of support are you looking to offer as well? so i hear that by the end of the week as my 4 minutes to confirmed, there will be some kind of a meeting. you know, some of us on the phone with,

you know, the us down the form. it is a backbone of political process in syria, in accordance with the ocean, $2254.00, and it doesn't dispensable for us to get together and to come to terms on how to assist. so to better assist us here in political process and see to in the current circumstances about the most original case would be of course to repel the terrorist attack against syria. and the midst of the major probably has a really important point to make care is that certain officials have been accused of crimes against humanity. we just heard from our report so that it took care talking about the prisoners that were released saying that many people that had been imprisoned by the syrian government had suffered immense amounts of torch. and how far is russia ready to go to support this government?

which is accused of such gross violations. since i'm working here and it's so met almost for a 7 years. i have been hearing a lot of accommodations to syria on different of those. he is on political, a prison, us and torture on the usage of chemical weapons. but i haven't been able to, to be acquainted with concrete proof of that. and the person that does, that's where i'm bringing this information until the security council, for example, are very questionable will just as mildly that's why there is a lot of information and nice information and decent formation about what's happening is due to and we should be very cautious before we take something to grant for granted, and think use the student government of something wrong, the wrong doings. the still ahead on now to 0. so test is out on the streets of easy for me nights in a row demonstration against the government. the

the had a low that, let's have a look at the weather across north america over the next few days. and you can see from the satellite image barely a cloud in the sky because wisdom pots of the us, it is looking very settled, with lots of sunshine here. however, it is sitting pretty stagnant across the pacific northwest. we have had some foggy issues here and also a problem with the air quality, but that will clear by such a day with the defense of some west to em. wintery weather, moving in from west and parts of canada, and winter is still being felt across from east scenarios and the northeast of the us and what more lake effect snow expected to roll in. so blizzard conditions, as well as a very strong winds here that winter weather pushing its way towards new england as

well through the weekend, is much colder. across the east coast of the u. s. was below average temperatures for new york and washington dc more. no, i have cloud, but still some sunshine coming through sunday for the southeast with the development of some heavy showers and storms, however, in texas. and that's thanks to what the weather developing across the northeast of mexico cooling things down in monterey. but the west, off the wet weather will be affecting nicaragua and costa rica on saturday. the midst of how much is happening before the end of the question, why it's happening. it's like letting denise to disclose your

mind. it's area where the foundation, the the the hello again, this is to 0, a reminder of the top stories, the seller, siri, you know, position scientists have made a major territory with games. they've taken the city of honda as now. they say they are heading towards the 3rd largest city of homes. if homes is captured, it would threaten the government's link between damascus and its coastal stronghold of attack. yeah. the takeover of how comes days off to opposition find has seized the commercial hub of the boat. and a surprise had phones from the news. syrian government troops admit they've lost

control, saying they've withdrawn off the days of intensifying change. they would your magic and emotional scenes at home, a prison after those inside with less out some of the prisoners re united within loved ones, just outside the facilities was some kept inside, had been detained for nearly 40 years. many without detroit, the return now to gauze with thousands of palestinians have been killed in multiple is really strikes on thursday. in the north israel attacked the residential building and they've la, here at least 15 palestinians have been killed that many were injured, including children. and is rarely drones have shows that people have to come out of one hospital, at least 7 palestinians audit hospital stuff are among the injured israel. has

more difficult and challenging scenario and highlight the vulnerability of civilians who are now without any proper protection and even marked evacuation going of the coming traps. the traps for people honey, much more from the central area of the gaza strip. how this time the south korea's governing people. power policy says it will oppose and impeachment motion, bruised by the opposition. it's set to be voted for on saturday. it's in response to president june, so kills fails. attempted to impose marshall earlier this week, which plunged the nation into crisis from mcbride reports from stone in the national assembly that he tried to side line with a declaration of martial law. president, june sic y'all,

is facing growing efforts to oust him opposition, policies pushing and impeachment motion. se unit appears to have been rooted by a loop response from the military. it does have corners, funds, you can fortunately many troops refused to complain with this absurd commodities. it will even those officers and soldiers who followed the orders, try to minimize home to civilians. they made efforts to reduce the destruction recorded 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 assets of party officials, agents, and the 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 but leave his bills paid to the attempt at martial law, completely disqualifies him from office. at street protests,

people have been calling for you to go these 2 college students with just children . the last time mass protests forced a president out of office to go popcorn. yeah, i attended the board when he taught this with my parents. but now i'm an adult. i felt i needed to step up myself or other to i'm, he's home and then what it was unimaginable. i was with a friend when i had the news and i couldn't believe the many old the south koreans have painful memories of previous declarations of martial low decades ago. and do not want to see over to, especially for what many regard as a domestic political dispute. on 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 i'm joined now live by rob, who is in sol. rob took us through the next, the legal steps. what happens next? yeah, that's right there. mean device to meet your concern for president june is the impeachment motion coming up this weekend. now this is for the attempts to introducing martial law and as he did so earlier this week, i present you and explained that it was to defend liberal democracy against these pro north korean forces and all the rest. but there was suspicions at the time, especially given the timing of this, that martial law an introduction that it was also an attempt to try to head off personally investigations into himself and also actions of the 1st lady his wife. now unit is being investigated for expenses. it involved in dates, move into a visa, all phase. when he 1st took pilot more than 2 and a half years ago. and his wife came, john, he is

a controversial figure as she is often in the media. she's been involved in a number of different scandals such as the acceptance of a luxury hand bag, et cetera. and she is being investigated by opposition, members of parliament, full of possible stock price manipulation. now, with the all of these allegations going on, the suspicion was the union wasn't totally trying to defend democracy by taking this action. it was an attempt to personally protect himself and the 1st lady. well, the legislators in the national assembly after this, to the, the failed attempt to this uh, mazda a little have now decided to go ahead, don't tell me, with impeachment, but re continuing these postal investigations which does post future problems of all, both the president and the 1st lady. thank you so much ralph. that's real. think brian reporting from so protest is in georgia, has been on the streets for the 8th night in a row,

cooling for the government to step down. the angry about the decision to delay talks on joining the european union, the on ris escalated onto the next and in october, which governments, critics say, moving. police have responded to the mass demonstrations with kick ass and was it kind of dimitri method into has moved from subleasing of the, on the 8th night of protest, the movement is still going strong despite the cold temperatures and the various arrest that have happened in the past the 48 hours of opposition figures and the police raise of opposition head quotes is now. 1 this is of the president saw him, is that obviously who has more of a ceremonial role in this country? of course she's been speaking to the national broadcast that she's 11 of the most recognized basis of the off position who's been calling for re election. he's been calling for a protest in the country now. she was off how she feels she's doing fulfilling her obligation or constitutional.
