korea's president avoid impeachment, but another pop out of office could be on the horizon and voters in gun or choosing their next president and a close race overshadowed by a struggling economy. the, we're going to start with breaking news out of syria, where opposition fighters advancing from the south have reached the country side around the capital. but the syrian army says it has not withdrawn from areas near damascus, and the syrian government has dismissed room is that the president has left the capital opposition forces launched an unexpected offensive last week, taking major cities and towns in quick succession. the government has lost control of major cities, including a level comma and during the south opposition fighters say that they are determined to take the capital, which i do not know what it looks like. we are heading for the muskets and we will meet and see. oh my, it's clear today

a total national liberation is being lived by sylvia's. the spark of revolution was ignited and hold on those sublist with this on or must join forces with assuming under pollution or res. on the collective national umbrella, we must a complete to yet position and 6 the end of tourney, reinforcing the justice equality and dignity. and the position fighters from northern syria had been bouncing south and they've reached our rest. um, that is near the city of homes known as the capital of the revolution. government forces say that they are carrying out airstrikes in that area to hold the advance offices here is a so sort r as in gas, the onset that's on the turkish border with syria result, update us on both damascus and homes right on position fighters. we know are heading south towards homes, but at the same time, there are now opposition fighters present closer to the capital than was the case yesterday in the server. so now,

after the did the, the city of government, these, in the denver up and this way, the, and coordinates are, these are the of the stalls in the south in cities. now the position from the south is rapidly add this thing toward the capital. the mask is and they have managed to get to, to, to, to send to main town, which is just 60 kilometers away from the capital damascus, from south of the capital of damascus. and now they advertise this, the continued. but on the other hand, we have seen several other towns very much close to the said that the mask is also now being taken by people not by the position fighters bought by people. one of them is, did mine a just 10 kilometers from the, from this self of the damascus. and the other was the yeah, just 12 kilometers from the west and part of, of, of,

of damascus. so i'm now with just now receiving the report that actually the government forces auto get throw in, leaving from the 4th as well as the minutes of a 4th from eastern side of the capital of the mass. cuz so when we're talking about this 1012 kilometers approximately to, to, to, to the mass. cuz it's not the city in a position fighters, organized spices that they have taken over this. but rather is people popularizing against the government forces and picking over the cities. and most of the government with throwing these forces simply leaving this town so or losing the control in these towns. so when all this is happening now at the north of the capital in the city of homes, which has been almost seized by the opposition fight, this is yes that they know we know that the, the outside of the alter the neighborhood of the city that or how the sizes that

are taking place as opposed to the polls that are coming from the opposes you'll find that they're saying that it could be even matter of hours that they called god did the city center of the city or full of homes. but to day to the whole day, just seen that the russian is rags were desperately trying to stop the address of the position by bomb being. the towns that are connected to the city of homes of russ done and have these, but they failed to do so. so we're, so is it fair since you've explained the government forces have withdrawn without even fighting from multiple towns and villages really across the country? is it fair to say that they are now concentrating all their military assets and defense is around key locations 1st among them the capital, damascus, but also i think homes a need for now, we're seeing a kind of resistance in the city of homes. however, that is so for the body,

the russian air strikes where they do not have the russian forces support there. so you're seen very much leak of assistance from the government forces their withdrawal and extremely rapidly. so yesterday they have seen that they had the tool from that used to promise of data as all from the northeastern city off black . then from the, the, the border gate, it will become of overdue, just connect to celia and iraq. then they have rapidly withdrawal from to solve some problems of deadlines that are sedated. so, so way the coordinates are this where this sort of blogs and then re directing all of the forces food, the capital, that was the image. but now, as there we throw in you and from the small towns that are at 10 kilometers or folks april of some of the all the tub, but the mass cuz know many people out of question. and whether this is really a military strategy, withdrawal of the government forces, or whether the government is simply using the control because we are receiving some

of the images, the videos that the, the, the syrian government troops and soldiers, or just decide in even been paused and that is also, as i said, it's like it's not only using the control at the remote areas, but rather in the capital itself as well. the russell sort are reporting from get to the end of and near the border with syria. thank you very much. the is really military says it is assisting a united nations force in repelling an attack on a u. n. post in syria's hunter area nor day has more from the border crossing between jordan and syria. the standing of the job at border crossing between jordan and syria, the jordanian authorities have closed the borders between the 2 countries wanting to shut away any spillover of the events transpiring in syria. but they have allowed jordanian nationals to come into the country and every now and again, those gates open and jordanian nationals are able to cross back home. we were

visiting family in syria. first, we were told the voters were closed and then we were told to dining and national was can go home. also on the border, dozens of syrians who didn't anticipate that things would develop so fast. they're stuck now and jordan trying to get back to their families. because what we want to get back to our families just like they allowed jordanians to return, we want them to let us go to our home movement. oh good. i'm passengers have completely stopped here. so the syrians wanting to go home the door, dania is trying to get back home, will continue to struggle to achieve their goals. but the jordanian authorities don't want to repeat, being touched and affected by the conflict in syria until there are clear answers of who is in control of the syrian side of the border. situation here would remain, as is all the address data on the job,

but border between jordan and syria. the fighting and syria is one of the main topics being discussed here. the donor form, a number of leaders are inc. atara for the conference, the foreign ministers of iran are key in russia. have met to discuss the developments in syria on the sidelines of this meeting. russian foreign minister, so got elaborate off his condemned recent advances by opposition groups in northern syria. and during his interview with elsie's 0 as diplomatic as to james space, he called opposition fighters terrorist and said their capture of territory was illegal enough miscible, they allow that there is a group to take control of the lens in violation of agreements which exist starting it was the un security council resolution $2254.00, which strongly read the rates. it's $72.00 total integrity and unit 2 over the cedar and they're pre popular, which can them in yet them spike better is to disturb the life of syrians and reach

goal for direct dialogue between the government. then the position and the position group were listed in the terms of this and geared petterson is the lines and voice of syria. he's been speaking at the doha for after meeting with the foreign ministers of vermont are key in russia and he calls the urgent talks engine eva, to ensure, quote, orderly, political transition in syria. the need for an orderly, political translation has never been more urgent. starting, redo, urgent formation, all inclusive and credible transitional arrangements in syria. so this, we need an urgent, serious process. fundamentally different from what has gone on before. this must be the start of a process that leads to the realization of the legitimate aspirations of the suit

the cabinet has met for a specialist and special session to discuss reconstructing towns and cities which were damaged during the conference of israel. the rebuilding and repair budget has been approved as a mr. avi reports from tire loving these prime minister and the jeep mccarthy. church of meeting of his cabinet here in tier one of the worst effected cities in the south of the country during the war with israel. the military base for the meeting took place is right across the street from this the aftermath of and is really missile strike. the completely destroyed a water treatment facility use for drinking water in the city. these are the kinds of infrastructure projects that they need to address. they know it, and they said, accordingly, they've approved a massive new rebuilding repair infrastructure budget for the country. they use the meeting as an opportunity to say they remain committed to the role of the lebanese armed forces in taking the reins in the south of the country where his bullet has been such a powerful influence for so long. they say they also remain committed to getting

people back into their towns and villages back into their homes. but many people here remain displaced in tier their villages are either no go areas where is real still has a presence or they're completely destroyed and there is no where to go back to. and these are still concerns for people here who are starting to feel more and more like a ceasefire may not hold. and whereas it was hoped that it may lead to a cease fire in the conflict and gaza. the leaders here, the people with this community and tear loving these people are very keenly aware about what's happening in syria violence that threatens the government of president bush or a side. and they are very worried. but the instability there could yet lead over until 11 on and then there are now 2 countries to neighbors 11 on has where instability threatens to continue to bleed over into a webinar. and that is a concern, not just for the national leadership, but for the people living in these bordering areas. same bus route of the old 0 to your let's go, has added the central result tradition of nipples. the soap making to its

intangible cultural heritage list across originated in the palestinian city of novelist and the occupied west bank and has been passed down through generations. the novel quite reports a centuries old palestinian tradition has now earned global recognition. this is the oldest surviving. so factory in the occupied westbank to con was established in $1872.00 in the heart of nablus. every bar produced here is a work of art preserving palestinian heritage as g. uh, the recognition of the bill. see. so while you less goes part of the world, heritage is an acknowledgments by the global community. i'm the necessity of preserving it to me. but so making isn't confined to factories using only 3 ingredients. walter, caustic soda and the key component, pure olive oil. this simple formula has been passed down through generations.

limits now had the name of the past, and you told me to start making was an elderly relative from the village of a my teen. a long time ago, around 20 or 30 years ago, she came here and made so when she cooked the oil, i observed how she did. it locked the process and started making. so myself, i made it for everyone and all town the, the traditional process unfolds and several stages. the ingredients are mixed. cured and the bar stacked into towers where they're left to breeds for palestinians. this is a symbol of resilience. yeah, i mean i've had this on this recognition is especially important given these really occupations efforts to undermine these traditional industries. how the time you now recognize globally. now we'll see, soap making is a living tradition honoring palestinian identity with every bar a lena. although oakley, i was just near the head of south korea's ruling party,

spoke people shawn, seeing and demanding that those and pays those little make cars, get back in the chamber and cost the violets many people expressing and go back to the show that this could happen. one man we spoke to described in these words is being insane. and unprecedented. another bus and saying that he had participated in the long months of demonstrations that eventually led to the impeachment of the full, the president puck in 2007, saying that he said that he was angry and sad, but he said that he would be back because this kind of thing and career and his words takes a long time, there is no sign amongst the opposition support, which is that have attended this demonstration that things all over. they have expressed a determination to continue up until president hughes is in page. it's all stuff
