the thunderstorms are in the full cost of the much the same place. they stretched from west australia across this, the red middle across to the east coast. now it has cooled down and the sun is combating victoria and good part of this as well as it will slow people north. again, it'll get, i think, much frustrated parts of western australia as the shows eventually fade away, pass up to about 34 by 2. so we might see 57 and the shares are getting stretched across the red interior to walls, southern queens and a northeast in new south wealth, leaving adelaide and melbourne too slowly. what hop as, as for what happens the day after i sort, you might want to briefly look at what's been spinning off the coast. it looked like it might develop into a tropical cycling, but it's currently staying off shore. in new zealand, it's read on the west coast. the how can these democratic nations justify this kind of behaviors? collateral damage has collateral damage. that's why it's reality is leading to what
12:31 pm
we're seeing that will allow me to push back for a moment is the you are systems corporate, israel, affecting pittsville, the standing from the impact of the us selections, the escalating conflict in the middle east of the urgency of climate action upfront sets the stage for serious debate on out jersey or examining the headline, what they wanted to do. they want us to leave the without health system unflinching the to. and then there's one side of the group of people who call themselves the research patriot. and on the other side of the races, processes sharing personal stories with a global audience. what is the c life working on a rooftop? that's a single thanks to an abundance of well tough programming. they're a unique, fascinating creatures. he fan nowhere else on the, on the
12:32 pm
the watching out. just bear in mind that our top story, this serrano position 5 since of announce on state television, that the role of president bush our last on has come to an end of to the team is a civil war. it came just hours on the sizes into the capital laska. the opposition says outside has now fled the capital of correspondence, idaho to is uh uh, in the syrian capital. now she's been updating us on what she's been seeing. she has now reached the presidential palace. she sent us this report. we are now at the people's thomas. we are seeing is people coming to see this is where this is
12:33 pm
this for and guess it is some people who are coming to see for themselves. they believe that this country was not for them that this country was, was ruled by, by a family. this is what we are hearing from people here. so a lot. but i can tell you that the streets of the masses are, are people, are a lot of people are still in the, there's a bit closer to about the situation here. they're not, or whether or not, you know, it is safe, but it appears that this is, it is, we have not felt a lot of celebratory gunfire. sign a call to the, just the reporting from the syrian palace in damascus. now, when the syrian civil war broke out, back in 2011, germany was one of the countries in europe. they welcomed hundreds of thousands of
12:34 pm
syrian refugees, almost a 1000000 of them. i'll still that today of these are some of the pictures, the nicest pictures that are coming in to us with the was celebrations on the street stuff that's got reaction from dump mccain. he's in by then. so just give us some context here because as i was just saying, germany has welcomed in many, many hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees. what will the reaction be that to these latest developments is $972460.00 syrian refugees were officially in this country. on the 4th of may, 2024, around 50000 of them live in berlin. and clearly for the vast majority of those people, news that special aside is no longer in damascus, has flown out to an honest disclose location, will be joyous for them because they fled the country because of what many of them
12:35 pm
believe he did to them. the families that livelihoods that houses the country. so it should be no great surprise that there are scenes of jubilation in many different parts of germany. remember. but the majority of syrians who came to germany, i'm mostly in west germany, in the old west germany. they're all obviously, as i said, around 50000 didn't button but not so many in the old east germany. but the point here is their reaction, clearly spontaneous celebration. but then there are other reactions which might say, hit to watts. will the government make of what has happened in domestic is what is happening in syria from the foreign policy perspective? well, they'll be in lock step with the u. that is low tiers whatsoever. shad about assets departure, but many questions about what will follow will be a transition to a sort of piece, a durable one. will disparate elements in different parts of the country not to be able to co, less behind one group,
12:36 pm
lots of questions from that perspective. but then the domestic policy issue here in germany is very important. as i said, 972460 syrians here right now. they came here over the course of the last 13 years in 2015. i'm going to mack over the insurance that was sent to a country to a fellow citizens via shopping dustin, german. that means we can do it. we can absolve these people into our society, helps them integrate. they will be productive. it is a humanitarian duty. but there was a backlash against that's the fall right potty the highest day. the alternative for germany decided that it should make migration a central issue and it profited from that right now in the polls with an election 11 weeks from today, a general election 11 weeks from today. the 5 day is around 20 percent of the vote, which shows that millions of germans don't like these welcome culture. the macro used to talk about the central questions. then what's about what happens to the
12:37 pm
people who are here? the government very recently changed the laws about citizenship to a lot of people who don't come from other countries to become german, but retain their existence, citizenship. 75500 syrians took advantage of that change in the lot in 2024. and the previous legislation that must be said to become germans. so they obviously have a stake in staying in this country. what about the rest of the people from syria? there are hundreds of thousands waiting to find out if they will become citizens. and remember, migration will be a very serious issue in the election coming up 11 weeks today. thank you for that, dominate kane, the invalid, and dominate, talking about the hundreds of thousands of syrians have been displaced to germany of the course, the last 13 years or so. well, we can now speak to hash them, i'll borrow. he joins us from romanians capital book, arrest with many experience have also ended up. what are you hearing from those
12:38 pm
syrians? what an extraordinary moments here and because they've been just give you a sense of what is happening. you will see syrians now who have decided to go to the asking for more, more people to come back here to celebrate the down foetal side. this is quite on this topic moment. some of these people were born here. some of them were left the country about 2 years ago today, what it felt was going to be extremely impossible, isn't your political reality and sylvia available for to see serious change and the local sports to go back to syria. the slot is one of them. she was born here in bo county, this is so tell me, what do you, how do you feel? what do you see now? the only thing i haven't done, we don't know why i couldn't sleep all night. what has been waiting for me for, for the years and the fly to be here and or can we just have to leave the
12:39 pm
house? let me give you a sense of what has happened. you've got this crowd with expecting more and more people just about 25 minutes ago, the serial number of cities 5, it's a raise the new flag of the revolution to signal the the, the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. and it's really interesting, there is no acceptance of this new political reality. that's a sad cause is gone. and that the people who were forced out of the places are now going to have to sit together and contemplate how to do on how on whether they go to be able to move forward. can i ask you a question of why the, on the business side of so i said that will do that. so you're going to go back to syria. you haven't even to show what honey is. now up in another heights overwhelming, i'm looking forward to go back home. i feel of course i would go home as quickly as
12:40 pm
possible because i was outside to see the front of me. i see on the, on the i hope to see, you know, i hope for me the point where you. 2 the so basically the last so to see the yeah, we've been with some of these people on the board, the well, the tools i would say, yeah, we saw them live in the country. they wasn't brought to the homes, of course, destroyed the dream. so sought to dawn and i've done many took the $63.00 and $4.00 to. busy show any to you or what are you interested in this particular moment, is that most of these people are now waiting to go back home, hoping that tomorrow is going to be a much better day for them, for the families, for their loved ones in syria and some of them are willing to go back and reconnect
12:41 pm
with with their loved ones. i've been in touch a while ago with people i've been out of the european union to try to gauges sense . so how they feel about this incredibly important moment in syria. i did see is that the commission of the president of the council i yet to be more a reeves my, this to advise is about what looks like a massive jew political shift in syria before the commit themselves to the reactions that they would have to make but it undoubtedly believe this is going to be an extremely difficult moment for the region and also for the syrians. ok, many things for that has been a bar of speaking to syrian refugees, the a in bucharest in bulgaria. let's go to mar one, the sharra out there, a senior political analyst, he joins now from london. moran extraordinary to see those scenes in europe of syrian refugees. hashem, they're speaking to
12:42 pm
a 14 year old girl. was born in book arrest. uh, whose family obviously moved that as a result of the war in syria. a lot of them hoping that this will now mean best a future for syrians a. but there's still so much uncertainty and it's still very unclear. really isn't it at the stage what the future in syria is going to look like. it is certainly unclear, although, and just the past few hours, there have been some positive signs. if that endures in the long term, in the sense that you get a sense or not, if this is real or manufactured, but you get a sense that may be the ceiling and opposition has to learn the lessons from 2011, 2012 but you also perhaps get the sense that then the lessons from other out of
12:43 pm
the issues that have failed over the past dozen years. so there are good signs, but there is a lot of anxiety and uncertainty about the way we move forward. clearly, there are certain things to be avoided, and as i said, maybe they are bidding, avoid this example. know destruction of property, the properties in damascus and the rest of the city. the tickets are for the sealed rooms. they're no longer for that issue. so don't destroy any product since the story and the governmental property and so on, so forth. second, know, 630 and is, this is the assets that are now we have to go beyond facilities and need to see as all one nation. do you have your 4 o cl again? no activity finish. again, we've seen that happen elsewhere. we know what the result is. kind of, you know, act of revenge. we need to go towards the transitional justice more than that too much,
12:44 pm
especially no fear. they should be no more feared because the syrians have lived 6 seconds for fear under the assets found. it has to be an in the theater. more to you know, i push towards freedom and clearly the, the people. busy that are probably like expecting some sort of an understanding of is they're going to the seat back the vacation. something like what's happened to new rocks. and this would probably be dangerous because a lot of people who joined the box and celia had to do it out of fear. so now if you went to dfcs required, for example, of the bureaucracy, you're going to end up a states without a state. would that be seduced? so i think there has to be some serious considerations about how to move forward with us or something. yes. but that's just the beginning. that has to be immediately in the next few hours and there's less guns, industries and more guidelines. bescedy less submitted and then more political transition, you have to see the opposition and it's all political colors come together and joins and provide some sort of
12:45 pm
a guidelines for the way forward. and they have to talk to the city is a city is once again, not cause minorities and majority. and they have to say have got to hold those. and they have to safeguard the national unity. and they have to provide a roadmap. and to make sure that services are rendered today in terms of all the services for the state so that they wouldn't be not collapse. so we've learned lessons from various other positions, various other disruption as if he was political, major disruptions from the past doesn't. he is also was learn the mistakes, all our old perceptions on the bottom. no say they're reading and or who uses what has you. i think perhaps the syrians are more mature now that they've ever been, and they could probably provide a good example of how to move forward beyond the dictatorship to so many critical points that you raise that. my one uh only something that will we will be able to see in time whether it will it will actually happen. okay,
12:46 pm
thank you for that. my one discharge. is there a senior political analyst there in london? as we've been reporting off to the teen years of civil war, the serial position has announced this morning on state television that the rule of president bush, our last slide, has come to an end of the seller and takes a look back ad boshra. all assets is in power. there was hope for political change in syria when but showed a subs inherited power in 2000 after the death of his father help is. but apart from some economic reforms, he differed little from his father's 30 year, tougher royalty. the young said wasn't originally meant to take power. he was studying to become an eye doctor in london. when he was recalled, after the death of his older brother beth, the parliament had to lower the age for presidential candidates from 40 to 34 so
12:47 pm
that he could be eligible for office. a decade later, he faced his 1st real challenge. in march, 2011, people took to the streets, demanding democracy. the president dismissed the rebellion and called little foreign conspiracy. as it was also the head of the only legal party in syria, the bat, and commander in chief of the armed forces. his response was a heavy crack down on protesters which brought even more syrians to the st. eventually triggering a civil war. as it did have some public support, particularly from the minority l. whites, a sect which his family as part of the syrian liter repeatedly dismissed his opponents calling them terrorists. why bother? unless it won't fit in what you are facing is not a political problem. it's a conspiracy until it is in the political reform process,
12:48 pm
continues to move forwards, yet terrorism is not going down. as the war dragged on, it was the backing of allies russia and did on which provided political and military support that allowed a said to recapture territory and hold onto power shows that he can do for them. but his government was unable to regain legitimacy in the eyes of much of the international community. in the shadow of war, he held the elections in government control territories that were dismissed by many as on democratic and dislike, never winning the war. he survived. but with a narrow support base and with only partial control of the country, the syrian leader was always uncompromising and defiant and ignored a you and lead political process to bring about a democratic transition. once seen as a reformist, a said stands accused of using chemical weapons against his own people. his
12:49 pm
government was responsible for killing and imprisoning thousands, displacing millions and for starving, those who lived in besieged area is controlled by the rebels for city is you wouldn't always be remember as the president to exhibit it's very low leadership. he's the one to actually who destroyed his country displayed on people. and she's not on the loss. is one of the laws that entire i'm not in elections in 2021, said 17 more years in power in 2023. after more than 12 years of conflict, as it was welcome back into the era bleak by the same error of states that once shunned him. but the situation on the ground remain the same. syrians who were hoping for a new beginning were still living in economic collapse and humanitarian crisis.
12:50 pm
and in late 2024, the long stagnant war came a ring back with the rapid advance of all physician fighters quickly took control of several major cities at a time when, as its allies were busy with their own conflicts elsewhere, but showed a said leave the country in ruins and millions of syrians wondering what's next for this ancient nation. the best 10 to gaza. now whereas right strikes have continued across the strip. these scenes from the optim altamont is riley attacked on the tent housing displaced people in their umbrella tie, a 5 member family, including the children, was killed because of health ministry says israel's war has killed more than 44000

12:52 pm
this insight were reported with various injuries are here in the house of this is not the only a talk that happened nearly as a overnight of talks of lead hours of last night in god, the city and more of the eastern neighborhoods of god. and the more people reported with various induced as a result of the drawing attacks on residential homes and areas at what seems to be as good as nighttime to close and sort of a curve view imposed by the dense as presence of why it's not. there's not a drunk that impedes the movement of everyone in these neighborhoods in gauze and the, and, and the, the northern part of the, of this trip long to move in of paramedics and civil defense across the situation around him on a gun house. and it's still very difficult, very challenging with, with his way to, to round it forces are about 500 meters away from the main gate of the hospital and set up a sniper position that keeps targeting it for the people at any moving object
12:53 pm
inside the house. is that the would be the dense of presence of the quad scepter in the skies of canada, one hospital and the skies of giovanni, or if you can and the play yeah. old. making it very difficult and reading the deepening deck, the humanitarian crisis of everyone in the northern part of this trip. just remind everyone, it's been more than 60 days without any proper access to any of the basic supplies for the water. the medical necessity is needed for people in northern gauze. okay, thank you for the honey. my move that was there by the end. central garza ascend briefly now to south korea, where the interior minister has resigned the latest development of the president you and briefly imposed marshall last week. meanwhile, the form of defense minister has been arrested for his role in the decision. police say they have seized evidence from came young coupons, office and residence, administer resigned on wednesday on sasha day president union. so people survived,
12:54 pm
unemployment version, parliament, often and peace from his policy works out. let's get more with you and it's kim. she is in the south korean capital for us and eunice, so the interior minister has resigned over present in humans, attempt to impose marshall. no, it's salacious in a string of resignations. what's happening indeed, administer ease on me. and one of the closer confidence of president use our guy now to quickly stating into history as there is a leadership vacuum rising here in south korea. president news, if patient motion may have failed last night, but the leader of his party, the people power party did come out to say today that you would be phased out of power and what he called an orderly resignation process. as everyone agrees he is
12:55 pm
no longer fit to continue to lead. also alongside him was the prime minister, hung up too, who was explained as the person who was take over the domestic affairs of mr. hyde asked for everybody's cooperation at this time of great uncertainty, including passing the budget bill for next year. so immediately that announcement was met with resistance to speaker of the national assembly, calling this plan and noticed on constitutional one that does not regard the interest of the people and certainly cannot be a solution to the current leadership vacuum. the leader of the main opposition democratic party accused the prime minister of becoming a co conspirator of the to. so this has really flared up a sentiment here in south korea, which really has not seen such in certain times since the marshal was rescinded. i would say there will be a candlelight vigil every single night until the uh,
12:56 pm
the impeachment motion succeeds. according to a civic crew. reporters have asked the presidential office who is in charge in case of a diplomatic or a military emergency. and we have yet to receive an answer. the ok, many things for that eunice came that for us in the south korean capital with all the latest developments, i just want to recap top story for you. rebel forces in damascus. have declared the capital city free of the long time, rubashaw last side as government forces withdrew. let's have a look at some of the celebrations that we've seen in the city of, and that the crowds, the cheering, the end of the asset regime of to 13 years of civil war. and we've heard from the opposition forces saying that public institutions will stay under

12:58 pm
that's it. for me. my name's side and he's continues here. knowledge is there a to stay with us? the we are to see the series of legends some clothes for the stories of civilizations that marks history. one is where the story of vanity have many stories to tell a former uganda and tie of soldier stands trial at the international criminal court. his actions, his lawyer, adamant to acquit 10 fights, the case of plus the lines between victim and pat to try to un questions whether
