4:09 pm
just desperate to get home. and they were still very scared to express any opinion they didn't want to talk about what was going on. they still weren't sure that the, if the outside review would serve live the uprising. and today it was a completely different story. people in tears of joy, we've been speaking to family, so haven't been able to go back to syria in 13 years and every time we ask them, how long haven't you been home? they just break down in tears. one young man i spoke to was too emotional to even telling me his name. he hasn't been in syria since 2011, and he didn't even wait for his parents to pack up their that he is heading to syria before the 700000. other syrians remain here in those i thought you'd refugee can, they can now hope to return home in terms of the security operates as between the 2 countries. i mean,
4:10 pm
where are the any syrian officials in any form or any uniform at the border crossing? yes, there haven't been any syrian officials or syrian security forces at the border. the other side of the board are here, specifically in that uh since yesterday. so it's been more than 24 hours that that uh has been a subdivision free. if you will, this the, the, the 1st only allowed jordanian nationals to come back to the country like today since the early allowed syria nationals to return home. even though they know there aren't any official authorities on the other side. and we've heard in the past few minutes from the king of jordan, who was speaking to his security cabinet, telling them that the security of syria was an important a consideration of
4:11 pm
a jordan. this jordan would continue to work with syrians with the syrian grooves to preserve the interest of both nations, and that jordan would continue to work and assist the syrians not just to rebuild, but also to go back home. like i said, nearly a 1000000 syrians found refuge here in jordan northside sort of a ship that goes will be continuing to sort of you and what scale the all the go daddy and the syrian vote a through the day, let's call say, which is a inverse for all of your joints mean i live, my signed a must not border crossing between 11 on and syria, and that's also very noisy. unpacked with the traffic behind you. it seems a the of the while we seem to have lost zane's mike, that every what seems to be very busy and noisy border crossing that between 11 on . and so we will try and get back to you
4:12 pm
a little bit later in the program. this which is for all, most of the prisoners located outside damascus, the prison becomes notorious for the use of torture and excessive force and was the human slaughterhouse opposition fights as a freed prisoners held inside the scenes. national says that so then, yeah, prison located 3012 inches north of damascus house, 10220000 detainees under the control of the syrian military police. misty, says, 13000 people executed there in the 560 s. after the uprising in 2011 peaceful protest as unsuspected dissidence being held in the tories facility, many without charge full after and 5 trials survive is report systematic, daily, beatings, torture salvation and squalid conditions with gods in forcing absolute silence.
4:13 pm
torture in so then yeah, isn't used for interrogation. i'm just, he says, but humiliation and punishment. family visits often result in most of it be things for those that are held that the detainees have no access to legal support. relatives are often falsely told that the loved ones have died. so let's listen to what some of the syrian prisoners had to say. after that release. i love the some of the we are in the middle of damascus. i swear to god our execution was supposed to be today. just half an hour ago. 54 of us were going to be executed today. i was just a number. i have been missing a family, things i'm dead. they don't know anything about me. there are many people who have been missing for many years. they were prisoners with me who were 60 and 70 years old. so that's close by tuesday and the solve
4:14 pm
a all the serial lebanese border we minus get back in touch with these a very busy, a noisy border crossing where you are right now. the less ignoring kilometers away from the border crossing the town. and it is completely impossible to travel anywhere towards the border on this road because of an absolute bottom line of traffic to get so many people who are displayed for over a decade. bureau out can, they are celebrated, they are raising their voice is making a great deal of noise, too bad. people firing in air celebratory gun far we've had firewood people rubbing their engines, chasing slogans, singing songs. this is a community that has had a fresh release. and what they are doing now is they are raising boards that have been silenced for so long, many of them, no doubt. and they are simply, there's joy interpolation of the prospect of not only being able to return home,
4:15 pm
but be able to remake their country. not just in the image of one man, not seeing an image of one family for the image of syrian people. and they are incredibly excited here behind every one of the people. it is some sort of project story. there are enormous political ramifications for the events of the last 2448 hours. but each one of these people has their own story to suffer and spoke to one man a doctor from damascus. who said that the 1st thing he's going to do is visit the grave of his deceased father, who he hasn't been able to see who's brave. he hasn't been able to visit for so long. another man from verizon said he was simply elated at the prospect of being able to return home st. thanks very much for that. the update and goals will continue to follow events with you. all the serial lebanese border woocommerce is a survey, and just reporting from the main hallway, the lab was to be in, refugees are attending high we are here now on the m 5 highway. and as you can see,
4:16 pm
the people thousands of the hundreds of thousands of cars trucks are now moving of the am 5 highway for the 1st drive and more than 14 years, they're trying to keep their home just the home after being displayed for over 14 years due to the game decides committed, again, i'll do more regular to show. and as you can see, the joy of the people is actually, is, are manageable. we're talking to, to really is here the, you know, loading all their furniture, all their house furniture and now moving to their home, returning to their home is after 40 in new york. the joy actually is here is expressing unsurmountable and expressive joy at the people joined the people. joy is actually seen across the scene and you're good geography over a glove how much, how the mass goes and but all the way currently here on the, on 5 highway heading towards
4:17 pm
a city and then home city and then the city and then the city for the 1st time in more than 14 years, this is the most significant moment, the history of this year in revolution. this was new to motion for judging from being 5 highway syria, southern. just over a week, scientists have tempted log pots, solved sylvia in an unprecedented defensive. now this was the man of control in syria at 2200 gmc, on saturday, the 7th of december. these areas in rather controlled by government forces, backed by robin russia. the green data ratio territory controlled by the opposition and group hired to the shop and they took issue that serial national ami. on november the 27th, they lost a surprise, a sense if it live capturing syria's 2nd largest city, a lifetime of $2200.00, gmc, the opposition to announce that it is complete control of the strategic city of
4:18 pm
homes known as the heart of syria's revolution. don't say splits domestic us away from the side regime stronghold on the coast. and this is where things stand currently following the opposition, capturing the capital, damascus, and declaring the end of the 24 year. rule of the shop of assent and race creek is essentially a professor at the school of security studies at kings college in the london join sunset, hopefully with them pick this piece by piece for all of us. how much of the collapse of the syrian regime is due to 13 years of civil war? uh oh, this last week will serve as riley bombard that's being fits a military assets. or it's a bit of both really. i mean, what we have is a regime that it has been extremely hollowed out based. the resilience was based around to strategic centers of gravity. on the one hand, it was russian app. how that really made a difference of the 2015 and it remains
4:19 pm
a major element of being able to target these different infantry based rebel groups . and the other center of gravity more important, i would say, is iran and probably around the militias and obviously hezbollah and i'm so what is what has done over the last i would say 4 or 5 months is the gradually degrading of ron's capability, degrading his bonus capability causing his will to withdrawal and that by leaving the regime for causes of us are completely exposed and unable unwilling to fight, and also not really believing anymore that they can fight on their own. and so it's not really the strength of h t s or the opposition. what we see is really a complete collapse of the front line. it was a, almost a drive from a level all the way to damascus. there wasn't any 5th phase with this that's going to seems that the strength of h t s is built on perhaps the fact that they have been funded got petrol. got vehicles got arguments is not the case. so is it that they actually only had this to start with is just the fact that the depletion of the syrian regime has allowed them to move forward in this fashion? that's right. so it's the strength of the position as is very much the weakness of
4:20 pm
the regime and the way the fact that it has been hollowed out. um, but i think what we see here is a very, very dynamic approach of and in a mounted infantry. if you will, that is able to really rapidly advance like what we call it, kind of a blitzkrieg shop and also kind of strategies and especially not just teaching physically but the, the mental component of, of, of the regime causing them to collapse. it's very similar to what we've seen with ice is happening in most on 2014, where they rapidly advanced. it's what we saw with the telephone in 2021 when they were rapidly advanced very edge of forces taking a lot of territory in a very short amount of time against no resistance. what is interesting and all these cases is that there was the, is the absence of f paula. and i think that made a huge difference. the fact that the russians were unable to target them on the ground and take them out the spring in the russians that spring in the radius that spring in these riley's here. all of them of being common thing. iran saying we watching the situation. russia coming out with its foreign ministry statement saying they have talk to the charlotte, that's these notes in the country,
4:21 pm
according to them. and they are talking to the groups in syria. israel is there. yes. and israel warning off the all groups. i don't come anywhere near all bold as well. we'll get you where it's a very messy situation. i think nobody anticipated the photo of the regime to come just that foster. nobody really has a, a, a plan up in a, in the drawer, despite the fact that we've been looking at this for 14 years, we should have come up with a plan. so the number one thing we have to consider now is social, political power and authority being re established across syria with all these different function be being represented, not just h t s, this is much broader than the h than the next. yes. secondly, i think depending on how this new authorities being established, the new government is going to be established. they will have to then negotiate with external powers. i think it, ron is the one that will stuff with the most because they are kind of supply chain going into leaven onto as well as been severely on the mind con, see how the opposition will make another deal with their own after what iran has
4:22 pm
done to support us on the russians is a different story, i think, particularly if you want to bring in the all the ways in the north west of the country where the russian basis i could see the rush and striking a potential deal with the new assyrian government. to kind of keep a foothold in it, if this is what they actually want. the great went up, obviously, is, is touchy. they have now strategic depths, they have the relationships they're going to be extremely relevant for any external power of a want to negotiate with this new government. but i think this is primarily a syrian effort run by siri and forces who dominate and dictate the outcome of the sewer and revolution. and for the very 1st time, external power is really on the sidelines looking on rather than actually meddling . and that's a positive development you said a moving situation that will be getting more analysis from you and the house ahead for the members and tries creek. thank you. thank you. he took his form and as to how i can find who has also been speaking about those developments in somebody out the de la for him that's being held here in council. he says that the opposition takeover should not pose
4:23 pm
a threat to neighboring countries. the new administration must be established in an orderly manner. the principle over the inclusiveness must never be compromised. there must never to be a desire for you, but as it is time to unite and reconstruct the country. today we call on all actors in and outside the region to act with prudence and come and to refrain from steps desperate for the beast of allies, the region. the territorial integrity and unity of syria must be preserved. while we have correspondence, suddenly buying washington, dc and most good, but that's, that's the cost of it as a new consumer, because it has a into key near the syrian border. and it has to be said sit in that we were waiting for to catch reaction. we actually get it from its foreign minister states
4:24 pm
and very clearly what took he expects and what took. he wants a definite, this'll have surface been up for in minutes. so how come down laid out everything during this press conference today? actually, it was already cleared by the stipends of a turkish present, or is it safe? i don't, but as you know for the last one on a house here that it was that average for damascus on cut off a normalization and turkish prison has always underlined within the last couple of months that he wants to meet with president bush. charlotte stop at, but we didn't hear anything from damascus and administer for that also mentioned that there was no connection with the mass coast was ever shar, aside, and his government. so apparently 2 can races the new syria with its new realities in which the turkish fact receive an army of the in term government. government are also a part of
4:25 pm
a and also they for to here it'd be able to send back movies of syrian refugees as sending them back home. safe and sound is very important because cecilia refuge issue intarsia has become a real problem within the last couple of years. and due to the competitive domestic, political as rivalry and advising and nationalism into congress also made a part of the ruling that party and lose was during the day that during lot sues municipal election. and the previous years general election. and but for to get what is important is the territorial integrity of syria. because if there was an altima, is curtis state in northern syria, which can line up with the curtis state occurred systems region in northern iraq. and the southern solve this in part of to can where you have millions of a courtesy citizens, the skin ends up as a new the great cause of some and on cross terms and to get as a want that that's why force to care right now. establishing see,
4:26 pm
since the ability in syria is very important and is the f, c, f, and getting itself could use of the altos to the software correspond to syria bridge. as far to get the why fi g is very important lane down the arms is very important, but you can fax you. yeah, we'll see what the, what does happen in the coming house with a bit familiar with the system. clearly that for us in took you. thank you. and now the russian foreign ministry says that the charlotte side has left syria, but did not say to wow, usually shop available choices now live for most of the state, but was very clear. it was also very shows. what else did it say? oh, that sounds absolutely right. so what i was most curious, fuller and be dramatic events in syria with extreme consent. that what we learned from that statement, so according to be for administrative, rational aside, has resigned as presidents. and as you mentioned, basically less of the country up to the negotiations with the opposition. russia
4:27 pm
didn't know participation those negotiations. and obviously we did not know where bush on the sides whereabouts now. i'm also according to the statement of the military past and now at the russians bases in syria, our high let's right now. and so we're currently no serious threats to the safety, all necessary measures that being taken by russia to ensure the safety of its citizens of the series. well, russia has us to take into accounts the opinions that the interest of the aesthetic and religious groups in the country, and quote on all the policies to the conflicts and see where to refrain from using violence and result all the issues, including the transfer power through political means and at the same time for ministry once again, and we've also had from a, from
4:28 pm
a deputy to speak of the federation council constance in color. charles situation council is they also have some direct to solomon's. and he has said that russia will continue to provide support to the people of see where it fits 3, but the syrians will have to cope with a full scale civil war on that own. and that sounds quite of this for many as russia has withdrawn on the sport of its ground forces from syria and hasn't been almost entirely focused on the ukraine co, 623 years. now. you do shop a lot about that for us in most k thing. so that's conservative, particular haine, in washington dc for the very latest patty. it's an interesting time really, isn't it for the us because of a difficult position to got one president on the way out and another president on the way in with very different view points when it comes to syria is very much so it is a very unusual move, we see the incoming president, donald trump, really taking to the world stage. usually in this transition the incoming president
4:29 pm
just basically stays out of the spotlight. and let's the current president be president. but yes, it is a very interesting time. so we're, we're hearing our 1st fresh comments from the pentagon. major general patrick ryder, putting out a statement on social media, say that the $900.00 or so us troops there in syria. their mission remains the same to, to feed i soul. and that they remain there, they continue to have the ability, the inherent ability, he wrote to self defense. so tried to send the message that the us troops should be left alone. obviously, that is going to be the top concern for the, by the administration. and we've heard officials from the by to ministration express concerns about h t s. it is a designated tourist organization in the united states and really very mild statements so far. just saying that they are monitoring the situation and keeping in contact with allies in the region. and again, as we mentioned,
4:30 pm
donald trump will be president in just over about months time. and he is taken to social media saying this to us should stay out of it and syria. remember when he was president, he ordered the removal of those us troops from syria and his secretary of defense. jan. mad is actually left because of that the troop members did fall, but the presence remain to about around $400.00. so he's signaling that the us will take its forces auto, syria when he becomes president. he put out a statement, a on social media, basically, defending russia, saying that also that they've lost the interest in defending the show. saw that writing, russia, russia, russia, in the statement of it and then said maybe try to get help. and the. busy or in ukraine, so his focus is clearly on the current meeting he just had with the crating and president. so again, very interesting time in the us, we're seeing divided ministration, saying that we're to stay the trumpet, ministration,
4:31 pm
signaling that the us will lead to you. thanks very much for the update from washington dc. so to come to play told of outlets a joint model of the shower, i'll just ever seen the political. i'm going to join us now from london. hi, my one. it seems that well, europe is sold and clients at the moment, the us president elect saying that's the why should stay out of it. $11.00 does whether the us or any of the interested party will remain out of it for all the interested parties that want to be involved with less than the positive. no, it doesn't say i definitely i agree with, with the, with the next president of the united states, everyone should stay are, you know, everyone failed. so, you know, everyone failed syria the past dozen years and signed for everyone to see how i'm searching, the not lecture cd about what to do and how to do. and definitely not in the field in the business. all syria, as it moves through a transition, hopefully to democracy is already
4:32 pm
a very complicated picture for the syrians. they have a good opportunity that they need to maintain without making shutter for the 2nd 2 violence. they have to create a new political, transitional council and, and governance without necessarily destroying the existing civil administration within the country. they have to maintain the army without having any of the uh, points in us. as i mentioned before, the region that's going to be already a very complicated process for the series of the last thing they need is for an interference that is meant to uh, the stabilize the country or that does not care about distributing of the country in the end of the day, the stability of syria wouldn't be very important factor for this, the miniature version, the 70 all the 3 files or size. my apologies while them please finish. no,
4:33 pm
that'd be fine. i looked at them so many of the groups salt that are in syria with so many needs and ones. how difficult is it going to be full hatred to us? and uh, but my without gilani to actually bring everybody on board in your opinion. because again, reaching out to you, functionality, tribalism is all of the reasons. it's within sort of the middle east culture. and so that means every and culture it will look, i'm not sure if there is anything in the middle eastern culture as a whole subject for on the day. but there is an inheritance of 60 years of success to ship the asset time and 60 years, or at least 50 plus years and 6 years of bought all the way through the scenario. so if anything, what needs to happen now is to reverse the affinity of the dictate to ship the culture of the, to the ship. that's been divide procedures into seconds and did have a majority of the minorities and did carry the most horrific crimes under the
4:34 pm
prefix protecting might not have these on so on so forth. so now things have to be made clear that celia is split, the whole syrian syria is for, for its citizens. and there is no 1000000 group, regardless of which of july news or the city of national army or whatever that's represents all serious. even the majority of syrians, that's why most the many 30 minutes in groups need to come together on the a political leadership that also is encompassing of the various opposition things within the country. so this definitely is going to be diverse. it's definitely going to be listed and it's definitely going to be very difficult, but there is no any other way forward. judging from the past few days, it seems like this is becoming more, more feasible. it's kind of extraordinary because what succeed happening and how that but how much in the last few days these are, is there a secondary good example, a good pilot to the way forward,
4:35 pm
but it certainly cannot happen if foreign country is all going to try to win antarctic influence and try to black to me the various components of the secret of nations that includes, as i said, the friends and the holes. because even though so what involved in the setup process and those who were involved in that a mix up just few months ago, what comes with the exception of coffee structures? of course, one of those have not did is not did syria well, so i think for now they need to support not 10 to the move towards a more democratic cereal, more pluralistic serial, more diversity. the more you may see a feel for you, a pretty serious legal fees, which is what happens suddenly in the company as it will come back. teeth more analysis as the day progresses. little bit, ball bush, all right in london. thank you. still head here on out there, we look back at how serious the 2011 uprising eventually resulted in the full of
4:36 pm
the shot. a saw scene is late to the officer a decade of honoring individuals and institutions working and translation between arabic and faulty. how the world language is shay come odd award for translation and international understanding is hosting it's 10 toward serve. on the 10th of december of 2024 in doha, tom shay come on the award for translation and international understanding from the arabic language to mankind.
4:37 pm
the book about watching l just are and these are with me. so hold on, the reminder of all told stories as a serial the opposition find does have announced a few in the capitol, damascus was like, what does that have a transitional government feel? position announced on the state television that the rule of present personified has come to an inductive team. yes, that's the civil war. so these are some of the latest images showing the leader off the main office ocean group, hyatt feed, and sean bloom, ahamed of johnny framed in the capital damascus. so the syrian civil was sparked in 2011 after antique government protest snable. it cools the wholesale regime change. what followed was a lucky crack down on the opposition held areas. stephanie deca looks back at syria's loan road to regime change. how it all began,
4:38 pm
almost 14 years ago. peaceful protests against the shuttle attends room in syria's southern city. that all violent government crackdown ensued and protest spread across the country. the 2nd phase would change and the anti government movement weapons flowed in and the more organized arms, insurgency took shape. countries took sides and funded various different groups. in 2012, the borrower's will move to a level, dividing the city into the government, west and revel health east the same year, the group jump with almost a now the re branded hyatt see the ocean and the one that has led the flight from the old way to damascus announced that it had become all kite as syria franchise. while the wrong, in fact has by law also entered the syrian conflict on the side of the government. 2013,
4:39 pm
