7:04 pm
you suggest that these are the most likely to be feel when depot or mandatory on munition depot. so i will try to open the camera. i would need to give you an idea about the magnitude of these explosions and fire. the entire security headquarter is engulfed by massive fly out of the field. also that, that spring insane. both of all the he's in must style border crossing between lebanon and syria. and zane, just those pictures, those images quite the juxtaposition celebrations and fires going on symbolic of just how front you all the moment is right now in this transitional process, or that is exactly correct. the scene throughout the day here on the lovely side of the syrian border here on the road to damascus. the must know border crossing. just behind me was one of extreme joy and jubilation. a
7:05 pm
population estimated to be 1500000 display syrians living inside loved on some people say that number as far higher silence for so long were out on the streets, celebrating. they were rubbing their engines. they were with whistling, hooting, hollering, and singing. and it was all about having their voices heard after it was silence for so long for by the president of syria, a bush all outside. now that joy was quite long lived, went throughout the day. in fact, just this evening, there's a, there's a mountain top mosque just on that hill. top is a mosque there. there was a call to prayer at the same time. people in the community here here in parts of the back of valley, in the border town, just in front of me, started setting off fireworks at the same time. it was very dramatic and the louder the call to prayer got the more fireworks people started setting off. it was a real culmination of the days celebrations. and then a few hours after that a few hours ago, we see reports coming in of targets in damascus on fire of continued strikes
7:06 pm
in places inside syria and attacks by the israeli military. so that is certainly dimming people's hopes of how soon they can return. and this border crossing is going both ways. we're seeing a lot of refugees with cars loaded with personal items. some people on foot with heavy bags crossing over, making their way. they're asking us for directions of where to get a taxi. and we're seeing people going the other way as well. lebanese refugee is displaced by the war with israel returning to 11 on, but also crucially, people who are supporters of us coming into lebanon seeking safety. there are families that we've seen with small children gathered on this side of the road trying to get into syria. also families with small children walking across from syria into a webinar. so this is a 2 way street, it is a road to damascus, but it is also the road out of damascus. now zane be on these images of flames and find going on in some buildings or what is going on in terms of the
7:07 pm
why the transition? does it seem to be an orderly transition of powell from the, the elements of, of the dying or dead regime? is that much friction? the things that people whine about friction between factions, treatment of minorities, what kind of trends picture of transition. all we getting so far we have to emphasize because these are early. alas, that is exactly correct. i mean, you talk about friction between factions, considering there's 70 or more different groups operating inside the country. it is perhaps a mathematical possibility, but it has to be said throughout the day what we've heard from the leader of h ts. what we've heard from people on the ground is that there is an attempt to make sure that this is a different sort of transition. there's been relatively, it's difficult to put it in these terms, but there's been relatively less blood shut so far. as we've seen,
7:08 pm
opposition forces make their way from one city to the next and finally into damascus. we haven't seen the level of blood shed the people may have anticipated. the syrian military has not put up much of a fight if they are still there. they're staying and their base is we have some semblance of trying to manage the situation with a curfew that's been announced an overnight curfew in damascus. so it will probably slow is the number of refugees or syrians trying to re enter the country. we know that a former prime minister has been a major in charge of a transitional authority, a transitional government, until there is some sort of due process to get a governing body back into place. so it seems as though there is an effort to make sure that this is a, as, as a bloodless as possible. and according to the opposition forces that have been speaking, they are pushing for syrians to be seen as one people. not disparate groups, which has been the case so far. right, thanks so much the same bus. so i'll be back from the border between 11 and,
7:09 pm
and syria. a spin a false moving and dramatic day in syria. and as we've been hearing earlier, large crowds have gathered on the streets of damascus to celebrate, i'm sure opposition forces to control of the capital x. those i'm of which is more on the full of assets of face that defines syria for decades, vanishes from view. boston are lots of sports re once watching over every street corner. now toward down is opposition fighters, search through damascus. the stature will be spotter also crumbles. marketing via the 53 years of the family room. the streets of the capital now flow, we sprouts celebrating with tanks and vehicles. in the early hours of sunday, the scene unfolding in damascus has main square captures the historic
7:10 pm
transformation from state television came and announcements, few serious thought that would never hear the victory of the great sermon revolution at the fall of the criminal aside, proceed a bite, then it was clear, assad government had fallen out of the city of damascus has been liberated the tyrant. the sharla side has been toppled. all the prisoners have been released from the prison of damascus. we wish that all are fighters and citizens preserve and maintain the property of the state of syria. long live syria. the footage shows prisoners emerging from one of the capitals of tories prisons after years spent in detention now the walk free, the at the presidential palace in the west of damascus. a position fighters enter the compound, walking through its quality doors and gardens, you know,
7:11 pm
move that was on think about just a few days ago. the ultimate symbol of us saw its power is now standing yearly, quite serious prime minister address the nation from his home, urging the opposition to ensure an orderly transition. find any wireless. i live in my office and i expect in a peaceful manner to guarantee the continuity of the public authorities and the institutions and state apparatus and to guarantee the safety and security for all citizens. and we are extending our hands even to the opposition. well, who extend their hands and gave assurances, they will not cause any harm to any citizens who belong to the syria of ours. jubilation on the streets of homes, serious through the largest city, were opposition fighters launched their offensive towards the mascot. the people lined the streets to witness history, the making of mohammed l. gilani. the men leaving the opposition forces is calling
7:12 pm
for unit one to get them. we as a fellow magenta dean, as we have advised them in the past to show compassion to the people or whoever lays down the weapon is to be ground and safety like and whoever please is not to be put stevenson as syria answers this new chapter questions remain about bush shuttle asides whereabouts the last track fly from damascus. a russian made aircraft disappear from radar after circling over holmes. adding a final question mark to this dramatic can to a decades long 3 axis i move, which, which is 0 is right. the prime minister benjamin netanyahu is as is right. the forces of seized a buffer zone in the occupied go in and heights, following the all positions takeover and syria. we gave the these really army the order to take over those positions to ensure that no hostile force embeds itself
7:13 pm
right next to the border visual. this is a temporary defensive position until a suitable arrangement is found. equally. we send a hand of peace to all those beyond our border in syria, to the jews, to the goods, to the christians, and to the muslims who want to live in peace with this will, will go to follow events very carefully. if we can establish a neighborly relations and a peaceful relations with the new forces emerging in syria, that's our desire. but if we do not, we'll do whatever it takes to defend the state of israel and the border of as well as writing the tray has issued a warning to a residence in several towns in southern syria, telling them to stay at home and speak to know that she joins us from my mind in jordan. so and israel that we're seeing tonight taking land, telling syrians this, want to do and to stay in the house. indications that this is new as well,
7:14 pm
that sees an opportunity for itself to exert its power and influence in the region is absolutely sammy, this is nothing. yeah. who is israel that has normalized? no. giving notification to residence of other people of other countries to tell them either to leave their homes as was the case in gaza and live in a nor now just stay at home because they are giving themselves the right to freely operate in syria and territory of it after having taken over that buffer zone in the, in, in the golan. of course we have to remind the viewers that say that israel already occupies part of the syrian goal on heights. so this is, is really expanding further it's territorial control. and also basically reminding everybody who's boss, at least from it, is really perspective striking at strategic assets in damascus. doing these steps
7:15 pm
in, in, in, on the border and at the same time saying that they're ready to make peace and extend their hand so long as those rules of the game are at play. and everybody is, is aware of them and accepts themselves. and you are at the sylvia jordan boulder earlier. what are we seeing in terms of how the syrians, because there's a lot of them in jordan, do they see this as an opportunity for them to return home? how comforted all the about? what's happening it has been an incredible day to watch syria and families, bringing all their belongings, rushing to the border after they were informed early in the morning that the jordanian authorities would allow them at to go home. some families had not been at back in syria for many, many years. and so there was joy, there was this belief,
7:16 pm
there was shocked celebration and tears all at once. we spoke to some of those people and here's what they have to say. joy and this believe here of the jordanian syrian border of thousands of syrians who haven't been able to return to their country some for more than a decade or now. finally able to go home. surely i use, i can describe how is she i'm of your doing. i've been away from loved ones for 13 years. i have been trying for 3 days. our country is beautiful and the homeland is so precious. we were born and raised to our country, syria is beautiful jordan chairs, more than 370 kilometers of borders with syria. so there are a lot of concerns for the states here about what comes next. in the meantime, 700000 syrians, whose thoughts refuge here in jordan can now dare to dream. to make this final
7:17 pm
journey through those gates back home. we would all day address data on the job of crossing between jordan and syria. and the correspondent zayna holder as being in the syrian capital the staple take in the news about so she says that makes of jubilation and consent to the future. his her report from damascus, we are in damascus. what was the power of president bernard? and i said his role is now over the opposition has taken control. 8 of the capital for the past 10 days, the rebels flushed from there a strong cold in the northwest of the country, making their way south to damascus. while double guns govern serial also made their way towards the capital. i want to show you. these are the uniforms of the, the,
7:18 pm
this is celebratory fire people are, are, you know, welcoming the new reality in this country. so the syrian army leaving without suffice or was very little resistance. in fact, this is what happens the make their way up to them off to the syrian army a chromebook. now many will say that this is because the president, because many of the, many of the former conscripts were former rebels and they reconcile. so people here live in the city are still in the home. we're not please a lot of traffic industries, which is understandable because people are worried and they're concerned. this is the country. and in the past, people were very much worried about the opposition. they didn't know who these
7:19 pm
people are and how they intend to govern the country. if we were at the syrian state television and radio from the they also called on serious, serious across the world. as we made our way from left on to the syrians returning some people haven't been here for years because they were wanted by the resume simply because the interior of history. what comes next weekend. but the opposition is trying to ensure that this is going to be an order the day ahead.
7:20 pm
if that is possible, then a further else as 0. well, the tucker's phone is the hub. so full of asset in syria will not pose a threat to neighboring countries. now how confidential speaking of the don't how for them haven't caught up the new administration must be established in order to manage the principle over the inclusiveness must never be compromise. that must never, would it be a desire for you, but 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 that go further beast of life. the reason the territorial integrity and unity of syria must be preserved. it is also been reaction from the us to the
7:21 pm
full of assets regime. we've heard from the bible ministration and president elect donald trump. let's crossover to patsy. call haines. joining us from washington dc . a reaction from the by the ministration, but the kind of need a magnifying glass to the to hear it and see it all right. long really, it's been remarkable. we've, it's been so quiet. granite is sunday morning here, but normally it's a development such as this a seismic development. you would hear from the president lisa statement. the only thing we've heard so far is that he's going to meet with his national security team to be briefed on the situation. the only social media post has been from the pentagon. major general patrick ryder, putting out a statement on social media reiterate in the us, which has about $900.00 forces in syria reiterating that their mission is to, to feed i sold that they are going to continue on that mission. and that they maintain their inherent right to self defense are basically sending
7:22 pm
a warning to everyone in the region that they should not target us troops down in the past. we've been a couple of days of heard from the state department. they've had things to say about the cheryl also, i'd say that he has blood on his hands that they wanted to see a peaceful transfer power. but as far as this breaking huge news, we've really not heard it much of anything from the, by the administration. all right, thanks so much kathy call. hi and the from washington dc. and just over a week, 5 is counted launch pulse of syria in a sweeping offensive base was the map showing areas of control based on the site today. those in redwood control by iran and russia, banks, government forces, the green areas, hotel treat control by the opposition on group hey, at the heavy of the sham and that. so if you fact syrian national ami on november the 27th, i launched a surprise offensive for me to the capturing serious 2nd largest city. i left the
7:23 pm
lights on saturday. the opposition announced it has complete control of a strategic city of homes, also known as the hall to serious revolution, causing damascus off from the side regime stronghold on the coast. and this is where things stand currently off to the position to go with a capital damascus and declared the end of the shuttle assets 24 year rule. well the guy's been sold is a leg. busy in peace and security at dunham university joins us from down in the united kingdom. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, we look at the statements coming out from some of the west and capitals that seem to be quite supportive of the end and the full of assets. government does that indicate an openness, a willingness to welcome the transition to the new administration. that's a rising as well. i don't think they'll be many t shirts,
7:24 pm
but the southern is received in the west at remember the west and governments, particularly the us and the u. k. i've been calling for a sub to go at for very, very many years now. at he had no real, a significant toys, the west, the people who be more worried will be russia and the run. because obviously those countries have a very, very significant and established relationships. the sod regime though neither of them when the chips came down, were willing to basically intervene the extent that would protect these others. e more allow it to survive if that was even possible actual and the question is water administration will we see? and that's very much still an open question i'd be worried less about and the us under more isolation is trump, administration, and european countries. a more about regional act as these re lease the hooks. the rainy and all of these countries have best interest in syria, as they oh, see,
7:25 pm
syria as important for the strategic goals. the problem is those goals are very much not aligned, which means we are not going to say i'm a specifically free of foreign interference on the question as to what extent will box from the buttons as those groups work with local syrian organizations to whom they're already tied to further their rights, they said we're not to couldn't you're not too concerned about the usb us. so can, can use to have a ministry base that will, that change as donald trump enters the white house as he has tweeted or allowed to do as well. there around $900.00 troops, a us troops in syria at the moment. and now we know that from trying to take them out last time he was president. and this is because took, he's the one from what we're hearing, convinced him to do so. i need to place that. yeah, he would go along with that fine. until he's the advisors. pull him back from the brink. ah, we know the true white house,
7:26 pm
the 2nd time will be far less restrained by those kind of voices. indeed, we've heard a much more kind of america. first i'd solution is street coming from people who will be front incentive of the next trump of ministration said in keeping with the policy. i think the us will be much more willing to let local powers with whom it proceeds is relations is front of the police, the region i do is that you see fit. now i'm series at south west. that would be israel. but in the north of syria, that would also be touchy. so the question is, what does turkey have planning for say, read the movement. that's very much an open question, but we know it's 2 objectives remain unchanged. returning syrian refugees that are up to 4000000 in turkey. stuffing the codes from having a presence onto the keys border and indeed from exercising degrees of sovereignty that would constitute state road. so i think we're going to need to keep pivot at towards achieving those to key objectives. indeed, boy,
7:27 pm
the hearing about strikes by the tech is apples inside at non, but it's insane. this is the code it's control cost. the serious i, the 2nd time is we're hearing about is really strikes on damascus. do you think when west and policy makers are looking 60 the us? and so we are right now, do they want a united syria or the think it's best as a, have a syria divided between the codes between h ts of a little pockets and let the syrians be busy with themselves because they perceive that as good for israel good for the west. i don't think the west will not because it is the ability on govern spaces and chaos, leads to refugee flows. and we seen what happened in countries like joe the need, for example, when gemini, less in a high number of say, read refugees, you see that populace backlash the rise of parties like the sd on the far right. so your slate is, will be reluctant to, to encourage any policy that leads to refugee flows. on the other hand,
7:28 pm
if you asked me about these re lease for october, the 7th of 2023. i have told you that these ladies prefer us to buy the seats. they like having said, can see on the board as even if they don't necessarily like with whom they're dealing with. they have an address, you know, you look at how bossing goes this has below 11 and aside in serious now that is all changed. oh bachelor off and that's in yahoo! we have a leader. the used to be mr. stopped this quote. and now he's mr. revisionism, he wants to see a new regional order that benefits israel. and he doesn't seem to me that all that about rating and stuff, but it's in israel voters, as we've seen at the moment in 11. and i think does that. so does a good chance that we might see the same policy being rolled out in syria to that. all right, thank you for your analysis and your thoughts on that. thank you. well i still have them out just 0 ga and probably you demonstrate is take to the streets again, following violent government cracked sounds the
7:29 pm
time, but it isn't gone. i've spoken will tell you who won the presidential impala entry election, the the, the seasonal waiting to do the ne lease is still blowing fairly steadly. so it brings rain to vietnam, but not as heavy as it was. it's concentrating again, introduce him a lazy property sites the tie border. so it's the potential for flooding in singapore, across the numbers the from big daddy sentenced drums eventually we'll catch it with i mean to marsher and java as well. it's just that time of the is how the big surprise of the cold it's fee to get into it is really cold in the middle of the eastern who get some snow to hawkeye. don't want to remaining shares, maybe on monday and holmes you. otherwise, if you're looking dry, there's
7:30 pm
a finger of rain, sleet, and snow spreading out through western china. it was, yeah. possibly beyond that, it doesn't look significant. the forecasts and sham isn't significant from that respect. radio state on tuesday, the temperature home is around the 563 mark for the next 3 days. now we have seen as, you know, in the last weeks in significant writing something into your and so i think it's going to right now. but the circulation here, which one to night too much of the thing will just enhance the rain most likely in store long and most likely on tuesday, then it will come into shan i. typically this probably will get with a bit further north, where it's been so settled, funky, and some of the conditions qualities improved for just a little bit of the humanitarian crisis and 11 and calls for immediate and sustained action. okay, foundations, less than an emergency response serves as
7:31 pm
a vital lifeline for many in desperate need. your donations can play a crucial role in alleviating suffering. promoting community wellbeing, coach.
