are challenging ones. we have to work very hard. as i stated, we have to work together what city and people up on the to g s. but also the regional that this, the international asked us to make sure that a, there is a good as from a transition period and no more time to solely and people and start delivering basic services for the people. and most importantly, to ensure the regional humphreys that anyways, ministration, when a new syria will not pose a threat for its neighbors. on the contrary, the new celia will address the existing problems will eliminate as the threats. let's take the 2nd question from the other of victoria from ab storia

cuvee, excuse me, to hello victoria eastwood from associated press. um can i also did you or your government speak to mr. i saw in his final days, uh and i was inside the country and what effort did he make to try and stay in power? well unfortunately, as you know, i'm in especially out prison for the last couple of months. i just been trying to reach out to the see, i mean, origin fox code, they gave me several last saw but um and it all failed. you know, we knew that something was coming. and because uh, as i said, we are very much familiar with the problems of tennessee area and we know how much the pressure is mounting on the groups because of refugees and other issues, especially the economy wants. and the regime was so slow that the chain and

collapsing and we were seeing this that for we really wanted to do something to prevent this about a short as well. no, we didn't speak to them because no contact at all. the sort question uh maybe the frontier to us hello. i have a little longer question. so how did the war that lasted for nearly 50 years and in just almost 15 days that we haven't israel and a position at the same border now? so we'll be there any conflicts and what will be the role of to, to get in rebuilding syria, thank or friendship. first of all, no sees the sun up process for all is the war. it was in 2016 through gene has had

a precious time to authorize the existing problems. but when you knew that until 2016 resume was running on a high, i'd run of it so they didn't care about their problems. they have an institutional in capacity and the other issues, however, they called them use this precious time to address the existing problems. but they didn't. and is that we saw a slope of decay and collapse of the regime. that explains why, almost without finding one, but the other fell immediately and followed by that other cities and tricks. yeah. we'll continue with the neighboring countries to reconstruct and the existing uh, administration is also very much important for us to work together. and what that

would capacity in how it went away, we can health full to all the rest of the economy, problems and other problems. they will certainly continue to work with the uh, the administration. well, thank you. so then the final question is from the trucks, press um, sean, and from cnn to the listener. so would you like to me ask in english or turkish english. okay. okay, of course. uh how will or should the coordination be ensure tomorrow? so many groups during this process and as well as what is your assessment about trump statements because it was interesting. we see american officials once again

emphasizing the try to bash and signaling contin caulked ratio was another alterra starving zation y p g. so what we do to prevent the establishment of a tourist page in syria and cooks and new operation beyond the agenda for stage or should be expect neither being was with the new administration of us. what will be the fate of the regions cleared off tourism by turkey, and so you're in the national army. thank you. well, talk to, um, you know, i mean the opposition forces are comprise of different groups, but they have a coordination mechanism amongst themselves. i think this because it will improve in the coming days because um, right now they have a bigger job at hand. so i hope and we wish that they can come together and they can start working in on or the menus to have a good transition period to eat by including isn't all the parties

inside syria. as for your question, the total isn't part of your question. we are equally concerned about dash and other terrace organizations taking advantage of this situation. the process, i'm pretty good. so we are watchful, mindful to make sure that the ash and p j k is not taking advantage of this situation. and we are in contact with american friends, they know how sensitive we are on white piece. if you take a issue, they know what the threat comes from them to, to a chair, we will immediately respond and react. and i think with the incoming administration and us, we will have um,

some conversations on this issue as well. as i said, no, there was no conversation coming from outside. so before we leave, would you like to save a few words in turkish? well we said that was the final question now, so he's going to see if he was in touch and then we're going to accomplish this brings us to the end of the conference. thank you. so thank you. thank you. thank you. well, yesterday i had a very constructive meeting with my my meet let's, let's let them asked a question. well

that that pretty legitimate charges parties that we work together in syria noticing area. and they've been hard talk for the, by the end for all of the office and see it in a position for a long time. however, any, to take a extension in syria, not to consider a legitimate partners to engage with, edit, talk and see it. yeah. because they are filled with international code as fighters amongst the ranks feature to cause it is from 2. if you do that, iraq, they, i've not seen it, it's not the syrians are running this whole coal is yep. and everybody knows this

piece. you run off of secrets, so in short, know just unless they change themselves to like state a few things in search of sec. especially for them as well. but simple position eh, chance when you love the suit in the me, that all the, the determination in and then getting it the, this was i look this on, i know the others here joining us here on the, i'll just every news of that towards how come sit on, he's the foreign minister, full technical, see the wonderful day, what the response kentucky would be to very fast moving developments in syria. i think very clearly pointed out just several issues that will quickly raise. he said that the president i presented one reached out to the regime in damascus to try and find a way forward to suddenly

a peace deal with either of the opposition and also return of the refugees. but there was no contact to tool key hopes for a peaceful transition in terms of the current situation that we're seeing of h t s. the group that is now taking charge of most parts of syria and significant cities that we've been discussing this past several hours. he's also being very clear about the relationship he wants with a new regime or government in damascus and that they must have a quote deal relationship with no terrace on the boulder. with turkey tuck, he will not stand for it and they will respond accordingly. also in terms of this time surprises, which was the piece process instigated by the international community trying to find a way forward for syria. he also said that damascus was very slow on that and that there was no progress really. so they only have themselves to blame a lot to putting drawn, rarely. so let's join some consider

a corresponding tools and how to in talking near the syrian border, i'll just say we were waiting for a turkish response. we got to make clear response. now in terms of what the government is thinking, what's the reaction like the atmosphere where you are on the board in terms of those developments to the south of texas border as well? yes, i was just as this was the 1st very clear response from the turkish government, because on the list of operations, lot by the physician was launched. a turkish president was repeating that he has, it's what he has been trying to reach a hand it to the charlotte saw, but a he was not responding. so now they have accepted the situation that chavez thought is not going to be in syria. and him or in terms of governance, has been supporting the syrian people will end the territorial integrity of the

country. because it, as why did syria might be a divided to here. this is why territorial integrity border security has always been very important in, on harass victories. and as we understood from thursdays for administered down there in racing, the recent developments and situation and very it's a warm lead. but as he says, they're also observing them acting, of course from now want. there is another case that is waiting for the old regional prayers players how everything is going to be around, but the truancy that they will be supporting and the governments and uh they are steps of unless, you know, the, the s c f. yes. yeah. they basically, you, we said the city of the stand, the thing to the took, the, took his perspective certainly from i should say, what the foreign minister said. and of course the history that both of these countries have with each other the the main aspect to the move in to under the big

question mark will be the return of refugees that are being hosted by to keep these past the team. yes. on the button that took his face looking after them and the problems that took he is also facing things of security, all that know them baldwin, southern, uh, syria, which is also taking charge of parts of it. these old questions will, of course, to exactly about how this little thing to be resolved and how quickly those refugees are going to return if they want to, to syria. indeed indeed, because to, to has been trying to promote the voluntary returns, the syrian refugees back to those countries. but of course, the spies else donna told the soul, she deals and everything that all these the expiration zones have been violated by a both the syrian government and to russian air strikes. that's why it wasn't safe for the syrians to return, but now they have liberated the country. they made it so as which is the shortest

sod. silverman is gone and they have it, the government, the bureaucracy actually gave up on the charlotte stops. so that's why we heard talk, come to don saying that be able to use can now safely return home, which is which truth. yeah, actually expects this and the reason that you have mentioned them please, let's not forget to case also going through a huge economic and dice space, which is which gave a big loss to the ruling thus far to during the municipal elections and even a decrease a most in the uh, general elections in 2020 said that's why for president project papers on government and being able to send syria's back to the home safe and sound is a very important the with very important step because either they have to make up with for charlotte, south, which doesn't work as all or provide a safe return for the syrians back home. the 2nd options option didn't work espy

down spaces, but now that is it safe for sound as possible, of course. and but of course, in a level how my home's the months is everything it must be returned to before those syrians, because some of the most the homes maybe when they go back, they're going to live in parents who knows what's going to happen. but many are now very to dream of going back home. so we consider that for us on the talk you sorry about a thank you. so correspondence that a holder has entered, sent me and has reached the center of damascus. so she's been updating us on what she's saying, a tour of the fastest software fire celebratory. try to show you as much as we can of the syrian capital

capital. and this is, this is the radio which is now under the control of the opposition. there's a lot of celebratory gunfire. that's why we're wearing the serious space television. there's nobody here. everyone's lives. controls the narrative. there was no free press in this country. we're now inside the studios of serious a television. so you can see the serial position slugs. the new flag of syria a short while ago. this is from where the rebels made the announcement that syria

is now no longer under the control of a charlotte, said susie, we are now the residential people. thomas, we are seeing is people coming to see this is where this is this for and guess it is of 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're hearing from people here. so a lot of the, but i can tell you that the cities of the masses are, are, people are a lot of people are still in the, there's a bit closer to about this situation here. they're not sort of whether or not, you know, it is safe, but it appears that this is, it is we have not felt a lot of

celebratory gun fires. it was in the old days, he joins, it's a lie from job on the board of crossing between jordan and syria. to talk about this being a fast moving situation. is it on the statement? the past 7 hours or something we didn't plumps perhaps plan for the beginning of the day just to explain to us exactly how significant it is where you are right now . what people are saying about the end of an era in syria sign. it's been really, truly remarkable. yesterday we were here, we interviewed several syrian nationals or waiting to get back home. most of them were cap drivers who had a transported people uh commuters to a jordan. and then they were shot out of their country. they did not dare to express their feelings about what was happening, even when there was certain news when their families in syria told them that,

that out, for example, where they come from just across the border was free of the outside the regime. they were too afraid product of a resume, that tod, it's people that the, the walls have ears today. very different story. people were dancing they were celebrating. they were putting on loud music of songs that were known and associated with the syrian uprising. and now there are 700000 syrians in those athletic comp here in jordan, full as one of the guests earlier on this hour said dare to dream about going home . many of them from that uh nearby. many of them wanting to get home as soon as possible, if even if their homes are not spending anymore in terms of the security way you all, when did you notice that was a significant change from, you might say border crossings of military patrols that to where we all right now

and it, it seems to be an unmanned political saying no, the jordanian government took precautions very early on the more than 2 days ago it enough that the borders would be shot. this is the country that is right in the middle of all of this, and it's already been affected by the syrian uprising. so it only allowed your daddy and nationals box into jordan the past 2 days. and today since the early hours of the morning at the door, they didn't, officials announced they would allow syria national back. it seems that the concern that the jordan authorities had before a are no longer a to fact. so there isn't a heightened sense of security alert that we can see really a celebratory, a sense here at the border, a side of people wanting to just get home. this is an area, there's

a lot of. finally, relations between families here on this side of the jordan and border and in that house. so there, this is very personal for many people. we saw a residence of nearby villages coming here just to express their celebration. they had no gate and you know nothing to gain out of this. they weren't waiting to come to syria. they just wanted to tell the world how happy they were. no day that morris, i'm only syria joe. damien bowed. thank you. well, joining me now here in the street is our diamond sound to all the international networks age, relief and assistance. she's a former journalist who spent years reporting from the middle east, including syria. i'm have to say, oh we normally we speak to you when you actually in colorado. yes, full of course, continued to do that. in today's head, we need to focus on syria right now. you have to replace historical family ties with the country. so i was just wondering what's going on through your mind right now is you see these pictures unfold on your own personal reasons for being interested in sylvia right now. yeah, i'm, i'm have syrian and you know, i,

i was just on the phone with my mom and my aunt and my aunt was saying, and i can't wait to get on a plane and go back to the baskets because their father, my grandfather is, is buried there my mom is a lot more cautious and i think like a lot of syrians to a certain degree, almost wary of the level of hope and euphoria. because over the course of the last, you know, 14 years how many times of syrians been helpful and had their hope crushed. but what we're seeing right now, i mean it's, it's completely different. there is no doubt in anyone's mind that the era of a side is finished. i do apologize. all we have to go live to damascus right now, where we can, i believe, joined, getting ahold of a correspondent whose life was in damascus. say no, you live with us here and i'll just there. as you know, just tell us what the mood is like what you'll see the way you all the answer. you can hear the

sound of gunfire celebratory. we are very close to the immediate square. this isn't the center of the capital. we're also out see what used to be the syria and say the television and radio. this was, this was the theory and say cv, it is now under the control of opposition. opposition fighters have arrived from the south of the country and from the north of the country, and they have met here in the capital. this was from the studios office where the off position, and i'm sorry that it seems today. as you can imagine, this is from where the syrian office sessions is cleared and that's the end of the shower. and as a rule, people we've been driving around the city, there's not much traffic in the street. shops are clothes, people are still a bit concerned and worried about what will come come next. but those who are in

the streets are celebrating and they're saying that this is as a new day, the people are not from the moscow so that we saw them had to the people's thomas is known as the peoples thomas. that's where bossard as abuse to receive a for and dignitaries. and guess that was one of the 1st places that those went to because they feel that this is a palm and stuff belongs to them. and that this country does not belong to a president, bashar and also, and his regime. so people are really waking up to a new syria, a very different, a very different syria. and what they're telling us is that we've been speaking to some of the, uh, the opposition fighters. they're saying that the plan is for an orderly transition, and that's why they are, they are protecting state institutions. they don't want to say to collapse some of the have to make the mistakes of the task. but what's happened or like,

what happened in iraq. we want a smooth gradual leave, a gradual and or during the orderly transition of power. as we made our way to damascus, i can also tell you that we saw the mother of searching for their sons who were in for service. and they, they were, they were filled with joy, knowing that there's times we're still alive. because as the rebels made their way from thomas to tom's, even from the south to the mascot, they never, i said, really thousands of prisoners who are languishing in sales without trial, without, without charge. and, and some of these parents don't even know whether or not their sons and daughters are, are still alive. i'm not in the presence of that the rebels managed to raise towards the system. they are present, which is known as

a human the city really is filled with, with a motion. it's not just about a new beginning. it is also about, you know, dealing with the past because people here say that, you know, what day was, was for a peaceful teams, a peaceful change. they wanted democracy, they wanted freedom and they wanted the conflicts that lasted for 13 years. what happens? what happens over the past 10 days now? it was historic. the way the rest of the balance is made by the rebels. suppose we can't forget that the struggle, the struggle for a new syria began 13 years ago. so the city is filled with the most and some people

are still concerned about what, what, what we'll come back and say, you know, just we know how noisy it is. does that mean relieved to hear that is celebrate 35 . how difficult was it the you go, nobody based didn't say rude to travel to damascus. what did you see along the way, where the indications that the military had just given up and the rebel forces were able just to move in quickly? well yes, we crossed into syria from the most no border. we didn't find any syrian government, so sure. not a bad check point. in fact, they left so fast that we saw their uniforms scattered along the road. they changed into civilian pope codes to fleece what we saw as we drove and made our way from baby to damascus. where opposition fighters in the streets, welcoming us,

telling us to come, you know, welcome to the, the news serious. and then we also saw people, refugees, people who, who escaped the war, who escaped persecution, who, who also escaped the dire economic living conditions in the, in the country making their way back home. and as they were making their way back home, every time they would see a poster of the syrian president, bashar and i thought they would stop their car tear down the poster they to, you know, were filled with the most. and some of them haven't been in years, and many of them never thought that they will be able to return home. because even though there was, there's been so much talk about the refugee returns of these people in one way or another, took part in opposition activities. even if you took to the streets you are, you were considered to be a terrorist. sorry, i said, a government, so it's not a long drive from a route to damascus. and then as we arrived in the end,

the capital, we saw a physician fighters from across the country. it wasn't, you know, it wasn't people from devices, from, from, from the, from and that's all they were tired, tired, but at the same time they were full of joy. and yeah, this is what we saw as we made our way of it. as we made our way to damascus, so the government, the, the army, they did not put up a fights and we saw that's not just and so my 5th, we saw that in, in, in a level and how that works for a few days. so it's up, i fear. yeah, as a now we can hear how loud it isn't. as we try to reassure our view is as well that it celebrates re fire. those aggressive 5 we can see behind you, members of the public, quite happily walking past the t. v station. i mean the,

i'm to stay on the ground a suck. seems to be quite calm. would that be the correct way of assessing this situation amongst the public with seeing celebrates rates, crowds in various parts of the country celebrate to the phone of beside the neighboring capitals. how would you assess the mood from the people that you've seen in the immediate capital of damascus? yes, the people we have met are happy whenever they see a camera or, or a journalist, they come and they come up to us. since at least we want to, we want to express our feelings, please. you know, film us as we celebrate, as least as we chance. and they were holding the syrian opposite. this is the flag that we've been seeing as we made our way here. yeah. that for them it's almost unbelievable because for sorry, i said was in power for 24 years. he took power in 2000 and the year 2000, it was already his father, half of the said was,

was ruling this country for decades. so for many of these people, they don't know any other leaderships, and now they're hoping for for a better future. and they're hoping that you know, the best they will have opportunities. i remember when we 1st, when we 1st came here, it was in march, 2011. when the pro democracy movement began and people took to the streets, i went to that off and that was the birthplace of the opposition. and people were telling us how they felt humiliated by the regime. there were a number of teenage children who rose and i said, graffiti on the walls. they were arrested. they were tortured, and they were killed and their bodies returned to their fathers. and they were told, forget about your son. so that's really, there was so much anger that people took to the street. this was almost on think about in a country where the security services are,

are in every street corner. they have the intelligence even in people's homes, of people did not know if their brother or their sister worked for the intelligence . people were so afraid to just answer any word again or receive demand freedom. we watson sauce. the words that they use. time and time again, they wanted dignity and they are hoping that they will get this. now that it's at that aside to have some has come to a to a close. yes, it will leave it that for now. we'll let you use got that, and of course we'll continue to come back to you in damascus as the day progresses . and i'll do that for us. i'll corresponding to the syrian capital damascus outside the state television center. but you tend to see the, i guess, our damon who i had to interrupt you did. okay. give me about lately under yeah

tonight. yeah. why don't i yeah, it's, it's alive news other days and you'll be fully aware of it. just really following on from what to zane a talked about about the fee. is that the side regime adult crate to just in the past 13 years. but it does, the family has been in charge, but any office century, to you for the full just from that region, i mean how palpable is dot see it will start to see uh how much relief do you think there really because we can say is let me give you an example of how palpable and real, the fear is even people when they left syria and were us pensively in a safe country. we're still afraid in many cases, to actually publicly speak out about the side regime, the fear of the regime, the fear of detention, the fear of what happened inside this dark and ominous frozen system. the fear of just disappearing was so real. it permeated every single person's fiber of being,

which is why when this all started in 2011, it was so mind blowing lea courageous because people literally went out at the cost of their own life. and we know that tens of thousands of people have disappeared into a so it's prison systems. i mean, looking back at everything over the last, you know, 14 years my cover syria from the very start. the thing that i keep going back to is in the presence and the way that families now are either going to get closure or maybe finally they're going to get that moment of re uniting with their loved ones who maybe they thought were died because they haven't seen and so long the we're hearing from the leader of that we presume may be the coalition government, the leader with a solid faction heading towards damascus, talking about maintaining the integrity of civilian life. i the buildings the paperwork because the last thing they want to see is a repeat to

a rock or if you understand what it is, all just ripped away and you start with basically. yeah, as a right. yeah, there though, there's a level of pragmatism and maturity that we are seeing right now that obviously did not exist. and in 2011, there's a level of military coordination and political awareness that did not exist before . we need to also remember that, you know, soul on you has extensive experience. she knows what happened and what went wrong with al qaeda and you're wrong because he was there for it. he knows what worked and what went wrong when he started up the on this for a front in syria. and they took over huge swaths of a lot though he has managed to. and it seems to be that way, at least from public rhetoric, that he knows what needs to be done now to ensure that syria does not disintegrate . now whether or not that's actually going to happen is, is another issue altogether. but at the very least, we are dealing with a more mature, more wary and more aware sort of groups of,

of opposition, whether it's political or military, that he's not be, i wouldn't be your position leader though. he might be the one in charge right now . the one that we steve to be in charge because the way that his forces have reacted across syria. yet he has to be sweeping and bolt a lot of the other functions that are around to mostly try and bring together a very broken syria and find a way to find a coalition that can be acceptable to the international community. because functions again, to all connected to this of the him to operate properly in the future. he needs money and he needs sanctions to be lifted for him to operate in a way that as you say, mistakes wouldn't be repeated again. and that needs to happen fairly quickly because serious economy is incomplete. in total samples, the huge portion of the population are living, you know, either at the poverty line or well before the poverty line. so the condom is going to be a key factor and whether or not sort of some of these things can,

can be reversed fairly quickly so that people can start to see success. and then obviously there's going to be, you know, the issue of unity and a lot of questions as to whether or not sir is going to disintegrate into a civil war. but we also need to remember that given everything that syria went through and we were talking about hundreds of thousands of people who were killed millions who were displaced tens of thousands who disappeared. people remember all of this so vividly that, that also hopefully the theory is will allow people to maybe put aside certain behaviors that could be counter productive for the sake of a better future. and that is also the why there is a fair amount of apprehension about what comes next. but this needed to happen. the status quote in syria anyways, was unsustainable. and the sense is right now, especially given trump, you know, recent comments about how the us needs to stay out. that maybe this is actually the moment because also russian, the ron are basically out. maybe this is actually the moment for syrians to slowly

be able to chart their own future. and that really is the sense that you get from a lot of people, which is to the outside world. leave us alone. don't metal let us sort this out. and then support us, but don't metal leave us alone. it'll be interesting to see how they do child that features and who they actually go to to talk to 1st. it's all one big question mark at the moment to our time. and it's been really good to speak to him, thanks so much for joining us. savings to do. and so when the syrian civil war broke out in 2011 germany welcome, hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees, almost a 1000000 of their most still out today. these are pictures of celebrations on the streets, but in germany, in the middle of the night is that news, roads. let's get mobile. this will correspond dominic cane who's in violin of calls, a pretty tribble in scenes from some of the pictures that are coming out of germany . or yeah, to relation because not

a 172460 syrians were registered in this country in may of this year. perhaps 50000 of them lived here in berlin. and many more of the most spread out around the country. so majority in the old west, germany, not so many in the old east, germany, but there reaction many of them, their reaction spontaneous joy release. the sorts of things that you would expect somebody to express having fled the country because of what they believed, what they said about shot aside. and his regime had done to them the families that houses and livelihoods. and that sort of thing, that's the reaction of syrian refugees here. that has been a reaction finally from the german government, from the foreign minister and the mailbox. she protects a tweets on x for my twitter. i'll read it if you don't mind it's on my phone. i've just translated it. it is impossible to say exactly what is happening in syria now, but one thing is clear. the end of

a side means the 1st big sigh of relief from millions of people in syria off to any tendency of the atrocities of the asset regime. it says here is the key internal and external plays finally impacting the interest of the people of syria belonged for and at the same time so difficult past the piece could begin. un security council resolution 2254 is a basis for this. says the german foreign minister on x, the international community is also called the phone line to ensure that syria finally escapes the cycle of war and violence. we are in close coordination with the un apartments in the e u, and called as well as regional players and serious neighbors such as turkey and jones. that reaction in the course of the last 20 minutes or so. as i said on social media from german foreign ministry bus to be expected, it's in lock step with what you would expect the you to sales say. but there's one other and go to the german reactions,

which is the domestic and all those 970000. also syrians here, 75 and a half 1000 of them, not sure lies themselves as german spinning the coal solve this last year. the german government changed the low to make it easier for people in that situation to become germans and many of them have taken the opportunity for they did so before the full of the asset regime. what will there we actually be now? how many would want to perhaps, to go back to syria given that the population of syria was estimated to be around 24000000 people take a few 100000. they would represent nearly 5 percent of the population that so very interesting those reactions. and remember, migration is a key theme in the election taking place here, 11 weeks today, duplicating the 4th invalid. thank you. let's close over to another european capital. we go to bucharest. wow. how shall algebra is spending virus in romania? how should law celebrations that are, i believe, and syrian, sorry,

relieved at what's happening back home. absolutely. so has another fault of it, this moment would come and they came here early in the morning. let me just give you a sense of what is happening. i'm standing in front of the serial number c, as you can see that behind me, that's taking them. uh, we seem to have lost uh hash and sound that i think we will try and come back to action. but he still thinks he's blessing broadcasting to us, but we will get back to the request through the day when the whole time is a professor of political science, a body lighting university, enjoys this off of west. choose that mr. kline always good to speak to you here on out. is there a the last? what 8 hours have been sent me a very fast. well, in terms of the history of syria and what's going on on the ground that i'm sure israel is watching very closely. yes, nothing to please disregard this. confused,

i must say on the one hand is riley's unhappy with the departure of the radios and the collapse of the uranian subdued ex. these, on the other hand is 11. there is what is wrong when you get to tomorrow. what we've come instead of these would be that a repeat vision of what of the range of experience where, where the liberals be treated by the probably come muslims by the rather come she a 6 would be like egypt where the democracy, these disappeared from the head of what the square so it's really does not know. and for many years this was billed on fighting the uranium syrian is bundled, uh, it says, no, everything is changing. indeed,

i suppose the phrase is you have to be careful what you wishful and this is rarely is wishing for a group that doesn't have its eyes set all attacking israel. a tel aviv has certainly pre empted that, but also warning any rebel group in syria, not to approach it's bolder. the, the line has being drawn suddenly, diplomatically, perhaps us about that. but please express as these the statement coming out from the view express the feels that the establishment has in there is really probably so much great. the fee is the visually populating theories mode saying that no, with the islamist in our northern boulder and the the how much how much force is in, in gaza. 3, we have no hope for having any,

any bother for peace in the region. so we must be, rely only on our forces or on the army, same to the same goals as of today. westbank where the but it's been in a storm, it is still very cold up. so the fee, you're also being surrounded by rugby, come muslims, visa. it has a stand in this wouldn't be mine. so let me imagination. there is really, is a very pain being formed on what's going on inside as syria and regardless of the new reduce. but what do you want, what is the power balance between the democrats and the rather go bustling? so jump out and that will anyway, no problem. i can just jump and that will any time any suppose supposedly know that as time goes on, on the we find out who heads a full of transitional government. if that is the reality that syria faces,

we will have to leave it there sadly. and we will continue to speak to you as the hours progressive for the night with thanks for joining us. let's go back to hush. i'm oliver uh, in a roommate in uh, in bucharest. uh, how should, hopefully we can. uh, you know, you can hear us. so we can hear you again. uh you would just telling us a little bit about the release, but in any syrians, the ceiling about what's going on in the homeland they do, they're not about 50000 syrians who live in romania and that's florida. is that exact to the story of syria and its own people? some of them left in the eighty's, some of the 90, some of the are right off to the revenues and they never felt that these moments could happen the end of the route. what sort of a said at the beginning of a new one, about 2 hours ago, the impasse had to hold them to the embassy that you can see behind the time they didn't move the flags of the syrian form of government and also the uh,

the posters of what sort of assets let it just give you a sense of who these people and how they are looking forward to see sylvia change. monday's was 2 years old when he was forced out of auditory in 2013. how much can you tell them? how do these are assessing of that? will life as a kid who i'm very excited, i'm very happy. well, and such a young kid who had picked in a one that auto renew soria color. i saw a lot and there's actually a who i saw from the quality. i'm not too sure why alex, because i'm me. i'm very overwhelmed by the feelings of what is happening. i'm looking forward to return to the end and get in touch with my auntie isn't or my family. how does the hands of how are you? good, where are you from, sir? oh, i, i'm from sir. yeah, you were born here. yes. how do you see today we proud judge bush or us? it is gone. i didn't go to go back home. oh yes, this you my grand pause on edge. and this explains the emotions that you can see

displayed all over the world. the different parts of the world i met assessed is a member of the it's enough the the the but loose code it should that was put into place right off to 2011 with the name of transitioning sylvia into democracy that was issued up on all those organizations we'd have to see place to video government, which is in place now in sylvia, but still very much looking forward to see sylvia changed. i met very briefly, the subsidies are the concerns about the transition to democracy. and to obviously be the key that key the how does that come fabi? what can be via shut off and you kind of rush it to what you don't know to watch is it? will you call the jew my then not under was that what i want to kind of whom do you, why you on the have nobody so you know what to just thank you very much. it is, he's very concerned like i understood we about to say the way that the syrians put together this funding offensive into damascus could be an indications that people that from the past mistakes and that the city is defined only tons. visions into a permanent state of democracy. now these people are contemplating what's next for

them. some of them are looking forward to return as soon as possible to syria, to be part of this impressive process which is going to take place. now, you have to understand that some of these people that have been talking to all of these 6 days, and they left syria in the eighty's, but took it off to the mexico of how about which was the decisive moment in the modern history of serial. why that the policeman came to some of the, these professors as all see what's the difference between the flag and the, the always the flag and one of them told him, you have to understand that the flag that you see here with the red stalls was the flag of the independence of the syrian government to 1946 from the front, scroll down the road. this is exactly what we want to have now. res. old over the skies across syria. because it's sense for a united sylvia where the jews are the white, the send isn't because could be able to navigate this extremely complex political

landscape that is going to be put in place. now, when you ask them about the confidence, this is going to be an easy transition to democracy. i have to say that he made pretty much concerned about how his next. but i certainly have to offer of either or maybe have to do for us. so with that 7 reaction to the demise of the child, a side and the arrival of what could well be a new transitional government under h t s. i bu, behind that eligibility, who seems to be the leader of the all group, the pumps are taking over damascus. right now we saw images just a little while ago. all of us celebrate to re fire in the damascus. i the syrian capital damascus. as the tv station was taken over, and of course h t s, those in charge telling the syrian population to remain calm and to create no violent school. so have more in this with my colleagues try that. i have on that, i would just say right, you'd be watching the news to stay with the school. he's up to by the,

in 1958 charles to go made a famous speech in algeria. but take a don't hold back the tide about jerry and independence in keep francis companies in africa and the pacific. in the final episode of the series just there explores how the bits of find the french empire still resonates today. imagine tis french, the colonization on al jazeera service, cities lost 2 verse sons. both were accused of being involved with the legal trucks . sarah and says they were murdered. so many witnesses had enough or so say not him . so they called the wrong pass, and yet they shots, my oldest son with his arms raised rights group say as many as 30000 drug suspects were killed in assault, cold war and drugs. but the administration of former president would be good to 13

. and the 3rd day had not been held to account until last month, when he appeared before the senate and said he gave police disorder being sick premium notice to fight to turn. to also said he ran a death squad when he was mayor and made no apology for defense, the killings. and because of these statements, the department of justice says it's formed a task force to win, investigate, deter, date for crimes against humanity. has investigations of only both low level police officers and only handful of cases have been filed and for unique perspective, we don't want ahead to well, but we no longer have any private spaces on the incident. that's a scary well on heard voices a year into this genocide, it still remains large. one section to connect with our community and tap into conversations you will find elsewhere. but humanity, the number of people who want to stop sending weapons has gone up and up, despite what they hear in the mainstream media in the united states. the stream on

out to 0, the industrial us on the serial position says it's working to assess off a transitional. go the the i, my name's site. this is orange. is there a life window? what's so coming up we have an exclusive report from the presidential palace and state tv headquarters in damascus. we're now inside the studio is a series.
