8:14 pm
we didn't see or recognize any disagreement in uh, on the goal itself to and the, and that's basically was very important for us to understand after, especially after the election. because you know, whether we like it or not. it has an impact on the decisions and what's happening on, on that goal. and then it was the contrary. we, i've seen lots of encouragement from being cut and incoming administration in order to achieve a deal even before the president to come to the office in the still ahead on alpha 0, restored to his gothic splendor, enough for them. cathedral welcomes visitors in paris 5 years after a fire at nearly destroyed the historic landmark, the in depth analysis of the days headlines. what are we supposed to read painting through the use of basically you miss all by russian informed opinions. finally,
8:15 pm
after over a year of genocide, the i c. c has come to this decision is critical debate. the difference between china and most of the rest of the world is a china plans long term inside story do conferences and meetings like cop 29 and others make a difference on how to 0 destruction on a scale never seen before with the risk of nuclear warfare which is highest and decades. a group of rush similar and i guess saki civil who has been awarded to 2024 nobel peace prize with ethics to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons. join us from oslo for an exclusive interview with the witness campaign group in the home he done kill and hear that powerful witness testimony. the nobel interview lives on which is 0. some challenging place to work from. as a journalist,
8:16 pm
you're always pushing our boundaries we are the ones traveling the extra mile or other media goals. we go there and we give them a time to tell their story the, [000:00:00;00] the, you watching else as you, a reminder of our headlines this hour in gaza is really forces of killed 23 people in a strength on the, on the say around the refugee camp. the attack targeted of the house, women and children are among the dead, and syria opposition fighters advancing from the south have reached the countryside around the capital, damascus. the syrian army says it has not withdrawn from the areas near the capital . and a certain government has dismiss room is that the president to the left,
8:17 pm
damascus opposition forces launched an unexpected offensive loss. at least 2000 siri and soldiers of enter the rock along with all their equipment. that's according to the rocky government spokesman the troops. and now being hosted by the rocky army, seeing the footage now during the past few days, there been reports of syrian soldiers withdrawing from multiple positions, necessary and opposition fighters advance is go to baghdad officer as much of the why it is standing by my hood when we spoke last hour, we didn't know, at least i didn't know how many fighters, how many syrian fighters across the border over into iraq. now we have the information that is 2000. what more can you tell us? as indeed 2000 the soldiers cdm soldiers with their full equipment according to the spokesman of barracks government,
8:18 pm
hotels data that they are seeking refuge in iraq. and they were hosted by iraq cut on the at they at crossed into the lock through i'll call in a crossing, tell them the on the city and bought it earlier today. busy governor of but i'll call them also be put to the side that these troops are on the basis of. but if you to that are seeking refuge in iraq. and it seems that of course, the fleet was a that is going going between the city now position and because of the city and governments now that these forces we do not know what those are and how long they're going to stay at and a lot. but we know that's a high ranking iraqi officials, including the chief of his stuff, the one of the dad today on the alcohol and pressing get to know your rock has been all, was the tab displaying, get civil or fluctuating,
8:19 pm
get at positions in regard to the city and the crisis you'll have on the one hand, officials on top of them that probably minnesota saying that they don't want to intervene in the city and a crisis. but on the other hand, you have the groups. namely, the stomach resistance did it on a line to all the groups battling to intervene and get involved with and this 10 by the city and the g, and fighting against this city and a position. this comes only 24 hours outside of the city and fort administer was getting on a bush and visit to about that as he met with his e. like accountants about i don't go with that uranium for an administer. the meeting between the people in minnesota discussed ways to uh, the escalate the situation in syria and also to support the city and read that sounds as the rest of the head reporting from baghdad. and again,
8:20 pm
the army says that news of soldiers deserving is just not true. so they have denied that there are discussions within the army. also a short while ago, the syrian interior minister was saying that there was a very strong security coordinate around the capital, damascus. so what we thought was happening over the last 2448 hours is indeed happening. meaning that the syrian government forces are now throwing all their defenses in their military assets to protect the capital as bringing some on shake, former advisor to the u. n. middle east peace and boy is also the founder of the shake group of peace building organization. i see you have all your notes here. i know you've been busy today. i'd pay good money to know what's in there. what do you, what do you learning about? what's happening now? it's a very fluid situation. we don't know exactly what we're looking at, but the reality on the ground is that the syrian government forces have been melting away from multiple positions across the country. the regime is exhausted, the armies exhausted and the support that they had from the russians and from the radians is also enough enough. so yes,
8:21 pm
they are circling around damascus now. and we are potentially looking at a big baffle for damascus. but i hope we don't get to that. i think there are a number of steps which still need to perhaps take place, intensive diplomatic activity going on. you can see that the un envoy, for after many, many years of toiling, is now actively working with the international regional partners, as well as talking to syrians, hoping that he can start to effect just an oddly political transition is interesting of the statement he just produced he's talking about an old political transition and he's talking about an urgent, inclusive, incredible transitional governance arrangements, which means he's thinking about a transition. i think they came about post us out already. he is thinking about post that side. but aside from what i heard this of the last few hours is delusional. he still thinks that he can perhaps ride this out. his fate may well be determined by the immediate circle around him. do they stay as advisors, defense establishment, family, close age?
8:22 pm
but some of his time, they've already left me. so it's those ages those defense guys, and those in his immediate, in a circle and whether they go anywhere he's been, he's been close to falling before just the industry and civil war, which has lasted 14 years, right. started in march 2011. there were moments when nobody would have put money on a subs political survival. and yet he is here 14 years later. do you think you can write this one out? in 2011, 121415? i didn't think he would go, it was because of the support was that difference? because we kept saying on the deal but not the opposition. doza was supporting, the opposition kept saying there's a military solution. there's only a political one. and yet i said was working on a military solution and so it was russia or under. 1 and it turned out there was a mattress and they were right, but they only puts off what is now becoming inevitable. look, this is a, a regime literally in
8:23 pm
a castle in the sky. and now the foundations are following away to be clear. russia in iran, in 2015 when he would likely have fall and they stepped in, they saved him and they've been propping him up ever since that was 9 years ago. i'll give you some color to that. i was a most good just about 3 weeks before and i was speaking to a very senior russian officially says we have a very important decision to make the president president put and has a very important decision today. and that was whether to or seriously intervene in order to save special us. so that's how close he was. and they decided to to do so . and they both in massive power. it was the power because the opposition on the ground, even with the rain in back militias and his bull, uh, and others were still still losing round to the position that was the russian f paola. which saved him and enabled him to grind out what seemed like a dominant position. now there are apparently only 6 or 7 russian plains. yeah.
8:24 pm
fine. that makes a huge difference. and for the moment we are not seeing that massive air power and maybe that says a lot, some on shake. thank you so much. we will talk to you again. i look forward to that . you bet. the head of south korea's ruling party says president, you and so you all will work with them to seek an orderly task out of office that comes just hours after a failed impeachment vote earlier on saturday. members of parliament from use party boy called to the vote on an opposition motion that would have opened and impeachment process president you and briefly imposed martial law earlier this week, sparking protests and calls for his resignation. as her, as charles stratford was among protesters outside parliament and so, so pretty solid, the mood outside the national assembly building now as well as estimated to being around a 150000 people that participated in this demonstration. now this bus, we saw earlier, bus loads of people arriving from not only areas of the capital city from outside.
8:25 pm
so and so determined initially that these votes should be post. that mood changed when of course the ruling policy refused to participate in the spoke people challenging and demanding that the 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 as 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 pool. the president parked 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,
8:26 pm
which is that have attended this demonstration that things all over. they have expressed a determination to continue until president viewed is impeached. it's all stuff without your 0. so presidential and parliamentary elections are under way and gone to the economy is the top issue for many voters. they have seen their quality of life eroded by severe inflation and youth unemployment. gun is trying to recover from its worst economic crisis in decades. 2 years ago, it was forced to ask for a bailout from the i m. f. the results of the presidential poll are expected on tuesday. us and world leaders and guests have started arriving at not saddam in paris. the head of the cathedrals, reopening ceremony as a state, the members of royal families will attend san today's event 5 years after the gothic master piece was gutted by fire. this is life footage right here. a message from the pope will be played during the program, and by the way, that was what that is, what not for them looks like now. after being rebuilt,
8:27 pm
at least partly be rebuild. and there will be a speech from the french presidency mentor. and nicole who is hosting all of this let's just see who's getting out of the car for a quick 2nd. as we said, royal families and we're leaders being driven, the french president live, amended and was now in central paris. as we said, he is hosting multiple world leaders. we saw the ukranian president earlier, president elect to us president elect donald trump, and as to french 1st lady there, when he gets nicole is accompanying him, of course. and there will be a message from the pope as well, which he has recorded, which will be played later during the ceremony. so
8:28 pm
let's see if we can make out exactly where they are. we're going to go to break very soon. of course, this is all okay, well we'll cut the break very shortly. these are the live pictures in central power says the french president's amendment in the whole post world leaders and royal families for the reopening of the cathedral. most of them the will the transition towards the winters, probably just about taking place everywhere and asset and throughout the regular producer. and of course. so the goal for the event and took care who's seen mold and when i break is, know what's coming in there is more the case of writing. i think the circulation will make it really with concrete. then eventually west inside. it took the sheriff sort of draw cypress, it's not quite as cold as it has been. this is a south of liberty so,
8:29 pm
so that was now it's height to most low dime will probably mount some degree. the sun is prevalent for the event where it's been when the inverse libya in egypt. we've seen both sandstone for at least lifted sand and some flash something. but that's not got to be to fix it and thinking maybe i'll try to get to monday. it's still the western side, talking, including his time boldest type, the sees where, where the body, it's not cold 15 in his time. bull or we have seen sheriffs, and we'll see cheryl spence from syria through north may rock and tours around and fade away. so sunshine is dominant, but look at the time she's down to the middle twenty's that the breeze isn't blowing down the gulf any more, any 5, anywhere in africa, north all the craters. effectively dr. pop for a few coastal shops in somalia. and maybe something further west and cabinet of more like a gap on science is that where it has been halt in books, wallet smart tuning sherry,
8:30 pm
the . ringback the a less than a full and i told position forces in syria of c major cities, including a leftover load slaves attempt. they face little no resistance from the serial ministry. apart from as strikes involving russia with damascus and the opposition sites with president bush on upsets this is inside the
