the people who've made it, here's the most of those left behind are the vulnerable, the young, the elderly, and those injured in the are set attacks. and no way to know if they manage to get to safety elsewhere or even if they're still alive. the, the 0 positions choices in serial make major responses saying they are now just outside the capital. it's a musket, the hello, i'm sort of fight us and this is on the 0 live from the whole. so coming up in the program, at least 2000 government troops fill outs of syria, retracing into iraq and turning themselves in israel targets, move residential buildings and as strikes across goza,

at least 23 people have been killed since dawn on site today. the re opening 5 years in the making process on clinic. not saddam cathedral rises from the ashes. alter, devastating fine the well, we begin in syria. well position fine to say that on the outskirts as a capital advancing from the south that has been celebrations outside damascus. where crowds was seen playing is thought to now the government has dismissed claims that president bush auto said has left the city. and the all me says, troops all strengthening that deployment around the capital, the united was the and now military units continue to reinforce the line across

damascus and the suburban areas to avoid any incidence that could happen, given the chaos that is going on out forces continue to urge you to not listen to room is you should trust you ami, your army that has committed to protect you and protect your future. meanwhile, or physician fights us from northern syria, have been vault seeing itself and have entered the country side of the city of homes, which is also known as the capital of the revolution. and at least 2000 syrian soldiers have entered iraq along with the tanks and equipment. and that's according to the wrong government which says the forces on now being hosted by the rocky army or so. so don has more from the guys in sit on the circus border with syria, while the opposition forces are rapidly advancing towards the capitals, damascus from 3 sides. so from the so the side author taking the control of the city of that uh uh, suite and coordinates right now they are missing towards damascus and they have

reached an order they taking the control of the town of santa main, which is the 60 kilometers away from the capital, but that is not only that the close of towns life june mine at 12 kilometers away from the mass, cuz there are, yeah, 10 kilometers away from the mass, cuz the mazda needed 3 a port. this is just economics from damascus. know in these places as well, you're seeing, the goldman is we throw in its forces and his forces are leaving these places and they have the rightly going be directed to the city, the capital city, damascus. and it's not only from the south bend from the east, you have seen that earlier today. the position of forces are picking the control of pop mirror. and that literally means that the syrian government news in the connection from the empire used to parts of the country. and there's not only data from the, nor now the position of the page and the 4th largest city of celia, how much they have rep with the admins toward the city of homes and know the

answered the city of homes, the fields collages between the position and the government forces are still taking place, the forces, seeing that soon, perhaps they are going to be able to reach to the city center. so when you look at this picture, you're seeing that the, the position is ad listening to where the capital from 3 directions. and then the city and government is really, i reckon it's forces from the importance of data sold from the south from the know to the capital city. but it's not to me whether it be submitted to the strategy or if the government is losing the control. when you're talking about the analyst and the people that are familiar with visuals, don't want him to feel that enough actually does not. i mean, if it was the fact that you, but the goldman is not able to hold these positions any more, let's just add that. i'll just do that goes down to self interest here. well, as mentioned earlier, at least 2000 syrian soldiers have and so they're all along with all their

recruitment and that's according to the wrong key government spokesman. now the troops are being hosted by the rocky army. my what i've been, what i had has this updates from both of that according to the made of, i'll call them district visits. the crossing told them no between city and back. what did the 2000 and they go out. so there's crossed into iraq today. he and he go, he and he posted the stated today that some of them are receiving the medical treatment inside the iraqi immediate care facilities which indicates that they have been they have been at least some of them have been engaging in some presentation with the opposition quite those insights, syria, we do not know what a search and whether or not this is defection or was that all but it, it indicates that these of these, some of the soldiers were engaged in the confrontation in site city according to the as folks i'm unavailable, to governments, hotels, i just see that these 2000 and a good, a lot of soldiers from the city,

an army are now being hosted by your lucky automatic forces. that also explains why the high ranking get you lucky officers from the army where the today a did apart and pressing terminal on top of them. that cheap of a stop. we understand that this crossing, tell them that has been all is controlled by the groups along with you're lucky a lot. in fact, i'm a goods i don't with the rocky army, but remember, this comes less than 24 hours since that 40 minutes of city a mess here in about a dad with his ear like you'd come into a problem with the you don't even put a minnesota, on the discussed ways to stop this collation and to stop the war against the city and redeem to the only thing in syria is one of the main topics has been discussed that the whole forum head and cancel. now,

number of leaders are attending the 2 day conference, the foreign ministers of iran for q. and why should have met to discuss the developments in syria, and that's on the sidelines of submitting oh, russian for an mr. so a lot of refuse to answer. when else, if he sort of his syria, no me would successfully resist advances of theory and finances. militarily the rest of phillips, the syrian, i mean we use the air force which is base. it may mean, and we felt this year and i need to go into the depths of stairs for what use the forecast. i cannot use them, nothing. the business of guessing we agreed today was around and 3rd year to issue a strong calls which i described. and we would be doing some specific steps to make sure that this call is heated. well, lovegrove also accused for an excess of supporting what he called the terrorist to

the stabilize the middle east. he said, recent advances of serious opposition fights is aimed to the storage joint russian focus on the rainy and process to unify serial. the use of will be if we quote him since 2015 good failed to keep the syrian state of it. but if we could organize the process, we uranium in their kid colleagues, which is called us the process ends. we met today as you, as you mention this in itself was a very fell from process. uh, nothing goes smoothly. it will diplomacy. uh, but the events which uh with this thing today that really geared to undermine every single we have been doing during those years. or you can watch james space is full interview with the russian foreign minister. so gay lover of on folks,

i'll just there and that's in about 10 minutes time. right. will be you ends invoices, syria has met with the foreign minister of iran, said, care and rush are on the sidelines of the conference and the whole good peterson called urgent talks and show a peaceful resolution to the conflict. the need for an orderly, political conversation has never been more urgent. starting we do urgent formation. all inclusive and credible transitional arrangements in syria. for 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 and people and the restoration of the silver entity independence and unity and so totally integrity of syria. right, well that's for again, so much shay as

a former advisor to view and middle east peace and war. and he's also the founder of the shape group, a piece building organization. thank you very much for staying on and joining us on the program. let's look at some of the things that we've just had. the 1st of all, you have the 4 administer of russia. so gala proven he was saying that 1st of all, he refused to be drawn into kind of altering how much of a blocking don't give the syrian army. but also he accuse for an axis of supporting what he quotes harris, who is the referring to. so i'm not so sure as you talking about the israel is surely taught, be talking about some of the arrow governments that they're trying to make. a typical transition with perhaps is he talking about the united states, but not sure, but i think what the game here now is to agree behind the scenes on what the you and the envoy talks about an overly transition. but russia is

a very good master of slowing these kinds of discussions down. so there's a fine line to walk between an orderly transition and slowing down the clock. i don't think it will work because it will be the situation on the ground. not the statements of diplomats at this moment in time. that's going to determine where we go. and as you said, diplomats, we saw things here a lot more from those. diplomats that's in the hearing kind of fall. we've also heard from get paid to send you an invoice to syria and as you said, transition seems to be a key. what we're hearing now of a looking for the day off to if damascus falls, i think guess they're all the thinking about and, and even in the case of iran and russia, we haven't seen them doubling down in the case of iraq that protecting that boat is and of course so would be chosen the at this point in time. now the question is, is how do you effect such a political transition. c the obvious way would be for by charlotte said to

indicate that he's going to step aside and perhaps residents of his reggie start to negotiate a political transition without pressure on the side and those who have the most blood on their hands. perhaps that's the best scenario, but right now it seems as if the hunkering down around damascus. what we really need to do is to gain start to put in those transitional arrangements as you and envoy is already talking about. but i would say that includes another treat counsel, and that includes a civilian transitional authority to take us through this very dangerous period. i mean, it's incredible. 14 years to get to this stage and to see the games that these opposition forces have made so quickly. which brings me to a key moment and also something when certain minutes the set on a state c, v. he said that they've imposed an impenetrable cold. and around damascus, is this enough for them to defend the capital?

what he thinks the game time is here because you have a, a head of the military is defense minister and he was appointed in 2022. how much advice? what sort of advice are we think he's giving a size and all they likely to give out peacefully where he's probably acting on orders. but at some point the writing will be on the wall for him as well. and that will be a crucial moment in terms of what the defense minister is able to do or come on. but for now, it's clear that this regime is not going to go without a fight. and i've had the special outside himself is being described by somebody in the know is delusional. and even this morning and i think that's be reflected by them sort of searching the wagons and trying to become incentive. triple, i hope that's avoided because ultimately they will lose, but they will be

a loss of a lot of people's lives last lot of blood spilled and i don't think that's what syria needs now. because i think also is even those who may be supporting the regime in some way. and i'm getting it through my phone from people who are on the tax on the through contract. he's known as people i've known for for years who say, you know, we want him to go and we want, we want safety and we want, we will have to protect ourselves, so they are faithful. but over a period of time, it will be the responsibility of those who lead on the transition to make sure that all syrians are involved. and then from the experience that we've had over the years, syrians have had quite a lot of time to prepare for such a transition. and i think there are some very capable people who can lead that effort. and i mean, for those that are watching the, uh, you know, may have been following the syrian revolution and everything that happened us to that there seems to be so many groups boxed by different people. how postables will

it be? if a side goes and the old ton has said, what is the alternative exactly with so many people wanting a piece of the cake, if you like? sure. well, let's break it down. i mentioned the military council that's has to include the opposition fights and forces that the democratic thing find fighting forces has to include the elements of even heard his show them the main fighting force, even though it's a prescribed to a terrorist organization, i think as well as those from other fighting communities, including the codes and the drew's and others, that's on the military council that on the civilian council again, of, and on the military counts. and so you probably need to ideally have remnants of the old regime that are willing to enter into such transitional arrangements. i've had syria and say to me, they don't want to go through the sort of

a very deep the boss, the vacation effort that we saw in iraq. so there is a desire to try to avoid blood should those who have committed a heinous crimes, will face accountability and should face accountability. i think that goes same for a civilian and military council. and for that to work in parallel, to create the political schedule for an overlay transition. and that has to be topped off and supported by the legitimacy of the united nations. and that brings together all nations outside. and this time, no vito's that have to work together in order to ensure that syria comes out and it's not as a trust me the transition. now, aside from the donor form that's happening here in council, you have assigned to the 3 assign a countries and then you also have other regional countries. i'm very briefly just because we are running out of time. they're going to obviously be discussing sir,

what we like seen to hey, from that was done. it was crazy because it was a vacuum. the west pulled back. in fact, a lot of countries pulled back. i'm glad to see that the arrow countries have not joined that as donal grouping. and that's an important for them. we also have this western alliance called the cloud, which includes the americans, the british, the french, and as somebody say, i'm really sorry. we're going to have to leave it that we're running out of time, but we'll be talking again shortly. but is there any forces of killed at least $63.00 palestinians across the strip since dawn on friday? now that includes at least $23.00 people were killed by strike on a house and on the site all its refuge account in the center of the strip women and children. among the victims, many bodies remain buried under the rubble of the destroyed building. right, well that's it from the side of height of to find more information on our web sites . i will do 0 dot com. the news continues here with me again off the top challenges era will be speaking. so russian foreign minister,

some game not wrong. the the storm data produced red warnings because of the viciousness of the winds of the bridge child gusts of a 150. could it be spared? oh no. that's what it looked like. late on saturday, the sent is going to just south is towards the belgium for sunday, which is not quite as strong, but still notable to answer the very best game to northern spain was snow or rain falling both front and open space. and then there's wins regenerating through the west and in central meant that's the system. it will continue to bring stormy

weather throughout monday as well. with obviously the western side of a tally and preferably grease and albania, getting pretty wet with the weather. internally, rain or snow even on the ground in some places, for example, in northern italy. now this is a stormy problem, the weather, the last stormy, but cold and increasing the over task. weather is that covering the rest of the countries of central and probably eastern europe scans of maybe just the best as i'm trying here's don't to cold was i was low about 0 degrees. isn't exactly right cold for this time of the year. not something that will spill over into the north. now do you have your alternatives? the old once again, libby, that's the window occasional shows. but from nice to know if i for chris now quiet time, even though how much and wind isn't blowing that strongly on the the

limit to how far the dream contains, key stuff in your own adventure now counter. and we will use the rules for a minister, the russian federation. thank you for talking to how to 0 of the 2024 doha forum. there was so much to talk to about, but i'd like to start with syria. those dramatic developments that seem to be re shaping the political map of syria. i'd like your reaction to things that have happened in the last 10 days. oh, so the reaction has been public to repeat that list state that it's

enough miscible, but 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 shooter, and they're pretty popular. which can them in yet them spike better is to disturb the life of syrians and reach quote for you're ready to go into a little between the government. then the position and the position group released that that there isn't just even to so if we speak about to pay up the sham specifically in 20132020 in the framework are 1st on the form to a dream. and so assign, please. sally, define the commons, resolve not 3 allowed. here you have the some dual you need lift to be thrown

out the philip and disagreements have not been implemented. now the gross dividing late to tell you what your channel this morning and the coverage is very specific. i would say the, the enter man was saying that the opposition groups with taking new and you don't opposition groups. uh, this is the, the way i just see it a close a up the sham which is i would say not very journalistically clean. well, there are more than one groups and that clearly have to shut off an opposition group in opposition to the government to damascus. it seems a pretty clear politically description of what they do. you've been having me one second one second. i understand that you defend your buses who call the shots and then says 0. that's cool and known as the journalism would provide for statement

like who. yep, that's what are you a sham? the least that says that there is a group by the united nations security council and the united states by the weight and opposition groups. one not least. and i, if people are pushing on this for the last couple of weeks, and we are saying that they repeatedly, but let me get back to what is being going on in terms of the diplomacy. i understand that you had a meeting with your took ish underwriting and colleagues here in doha. have you reached any agreements? yeah, we strongly reiterate. it's a territorial integrity 70 and you need to of this year and the republic we called for immediate and of course style activities. we stated all of us that we won the resolution $2254.00 to be fully implemented. and for this purpose,

called for the dialogue between the government and digital if the position is provided in the resolution, the main thing is not is not to say something new. the main thing is implemented. rethink the which you sign up. but the resolution 2250 for which you was of the security council resolution for administer level. remember in 2015 and you with that in russia seats that talks about a new constitution and free and fair elections. and yet the whole process has got bolted down and has gone absolutely no as well. it still it'd be less time by stuff to the adoption of this resolution. since the resolutions from missing palestinian state adopted j. so every single relatives of you can understand nobody's perfect as the old american with the says and everything is relative. have you suppose doesn't mean that we should look at the right. have you spoken to your syrian

counterpart in recent hours or any other senior? so we an official and how worried of a what, how margaret all day about the situation. they've lost a lots of territory. well, well, not in the business of a chicken who is worried than to what extent were in the business to try to help is diplomatic means to still blood ship and to make justice prevail. in this particular case, just this is the resolution 2254. the of the authors of this resolution, including the united states, consumed to us that they continue supporting this. this process is described in this resolution. and before that, this premises on the assurances would materialize. how much of a blow is it to russia that so much territory is being lost in such a short period of time? because russia and the soviet union before it has been such

a big back of syria. how much of a blow is east, ma'am? will you intervene further militarily? not just diplomatically. oh, come through as being a big becker, not only of syria, but also of europe. hopefully be of live alone and the it is not that there's not our fault, the old, the resolutions, which will adopt it when they meet the least issues. some of the, for example, iraq was boomed out of the state, which without any discussion of the security council, it does not so full that the biggest trend of the more than volt, namely the fight against those who want to keep pigeon money ends on the same those who would like to leave in the 3 war will where the united nations dumont,

the respect solver. and that's what it just states is really implement the b briggs be a chunk, psycho duration be gulf coast duration town. so i see a and many others. so they fight over these 2 worlds. one phase you go. another one emerging is not going to results questions and the conflicts to be sure, at the venture subversive adventures which were launched by the us and its allies in iraq. lead be a that is fine. because the, the behavior of the united states on the what this going and go then further sliding this website to some acceptable invading syria. all of these is the repetition of the old very old credits to create some habit, some mess, and then to fusion to muddy waters in the middle east. and europe is

not enough already. the nato, unto the united states. c'mon for announce last year. the summit that the security in your atlantic is indeed feasible from the security in the pacific region. so they all the raise your i the entire duration content including so i was trying to see strength of buy, one of the korean peninsula of the creation nato like me to 3 blocks, natal infrastructure is being promoted to the region. this is a reflection of attempts not 3 low. they said jim wanted to face them, but this is a fight it gains history. so yes, we have very much sorry for this year. and people who came we became a subject of another jo, political experiment. we absolutely convinced of in the disability to use filters like 3 up the who the shop to achieve jo

political purposes as it is being done though. we still organization of this offensive from the easily the escalation area. uh, but you know what to be doing and do maybe the mentality is different. the americans for them. i know them very well for them. what is important, how they utter steve, and they always want to be received. number one, when they fail something, everybody must say yes or whatever, until sam decides, you know, a case it's not about being concerned with is, was the impression they make on the people with the things and the, which we believe the and the fleet codes failed. since 2015 pulled failed to keep the syrian state of it,

but if we could organize the process these iranian and dirty products, which is called us the process as we met today. as you, as you mention this in itself was a very felt from process. uh, nothing goes mostly it will diplomacy. uh, but the events which uh, with this thing today that really geared to undermine every single we have been doing during those years. as we have sorta and not for not for the image, which people see in the person though, the russian for duration that me personally. but we are very concerned with the fate of this year in people. we don't want them to forward the fatal for the right to use, so fleet bins and the other nations who were disturbed by the people desiring to keep the, the nation. the russian embassy in damascus is now urging russian nationals to leave stairs. syria. does that mean that you believe that

a sad may not be able to cling on to power? and if that is the case, are you going to try.
