one of this sentence declares in damascus. and the square is surrounded by the security facilities on the form of government, off specialist side and cheat is the opposite side. and of course, the minister to add, what is the source of what you can now see if these i want to exceed the law stuff, the mass, cuz they call it the sward for the mass coast. so vs. what's the x u m? and i'm having a limited access to the ordinary people, but now as it's kevin, for the control of the position, you just see that people now get them here just a little i go, we have seen a small gathering here in support of the or positions here then one of the former ministers of culture as she was living in the chair, she will not be the because the same. this is a new syria. spanish is time to rebuild a new city up together. and it was saying that the reason that the sub games, the, as for them is because they have never engaged jane meaningful via was with this on

people. so here or there, you can see that this is the national association of division television off syria . and then right next to the dad you see you'll see the small so are rising. that has been boomed by you and is ready and your size. yes, the san juan seal, the fire is continuing over there. the reason that the thing is the fire, they believe that this is not secure and is that is since yesterday they have come down to the long 100 feet of sites who are at on that on the capital city, damascus. so now, here we have been talking to the people to see that they have mixed feelings. on one hand, there is a celebrated ceilings that it has been finally the ends of this. i've done this up to 50 full years, but the other hands,

they do not don't want to be expecting that the whole of that is going to be the right to have better, better and better suture. however, as of now, what we can see is that there are several position groups here is not only is ts that 24, but i level and then how much then homes are coming from north to damascus. but also the positions from the eastern part of the properties from the south and kind of the part of the country. and they have different addresses that have different items. you can background, they have different approaches and of course, different things about the future. all score for syria. however, one thing is clear, oh, that's what position forces at the end of the day, dominated by hired to tell me to show more face. yes, that is loud, but surely i was talking to david fight there's. there's t, as far as she is asking them what, not for them to see what saying that they need to see the control of the capital city completely. because now in some,

several areas are companies on the go to about the products menu of the city. still some of the festivities that have them, they have not been able to clear. yes. they do not know whether the sleeping, the sounds of the government, the government still or not the said that is the 1st target to me. then high capital. i'm done the same thing that will soon initiate an offensive on lucky and taught those which are the last strong rules of the government, of the coastal areas of, of the, of the, off of the country. and they said that a fancy is going to come within 24 hours. you wrestle a, you made your way into syria yesterday. just the out was up to the full of the regime. can you just explain to us what that feeling was like and what you saw on your travels to damascus as well 1st, it was quite unbelievable to see that how people were still we still seem to

get back to where they have left years ago despite all the damages still despite the risk because many areas, even though. busy they are taking the under the control of the physician c, and you can see that that is not to control, but it's not true or there, it's not all think at this moment, but it's difficult to talk. i bought an order as well. so we got into the north in provence, or if they've done to the city or if it and then went further south to set out to them 2222, but to do to a new mind. and then to from she who and went in 2013, the redeem has used the jeremy to weapons. i guess people over there at these places. how seemed the fees fighting since the civil war started in 2011. so more matter to move on to the said i could, and because she whom they were all most leveled on what they have seen, they would level that they were teaching by the government,

by the support of the russian. how do you like, how the, how not meaning to how to take him by the government, but tapped into tough job, the job to teach them all the way don't and to how much of homes and damascus. and then when he used to damascus, he directly went through the presidential palace that has been used by a solve somebody for that chase to move over to syria. that now is under the control of the position we are at the presidential palace in damascus, where somebody has ruled over syria for becky. this is the political gave off the palace. so somebody has been receiving the ip guess the state dignitaries through this gate. and now this palace of the present bishop, i said off of syria and leaving the company and going to moscow and the officer, the position 5 is taken over the capital. they have rushed into these pilots and

now it is fully under the control. i was just the, just in the protocol whole and seen the fight to still be in here. now they do not want to be shown on the camera due to the security concerns. now you can see that there are still of the broken glasses over here that happen when they have storm into the palace on 7th or off of december. but on the other hand, we see that there are heights measures in the mass cuz the security forces of the positions are everywhere. there are several check points. and of course, the power cards, the electricity, the lights are turned off. and it's not just because of the lack of the resources, but they're seeing that as well as bomb being some all scores off off of the capital, damascus. and due to the security reasons they are keeping the, the, the lights off. so this is the protocol whole, you can see that the rad carpet over here. so for decades, as i said, the,

the start time, a heavy and receiving their, the ip guess we have. and the here you can see this is one of the menus actually have just seen it is from 2009 when the philippines president was to damascus. this is the menu for, for, for, for, for the dinner. well this is how this was happening, or 7th of december the, the, the leader of the h t. s level position that has taken over the control of the mask is mohammed drum and it has roosted damascus. and that, that was a historic moment. he directly went to may of most, any, also delivered as the page and quoting on the cmc. and that is a historic moment and not only for syria, but for the whole region. indeed, when you are coming to the mass, because you're feeling that this is a storage moment, u z, the syrians i know, leaving in and different the reality, there is no special unless there is no opposite of us. or there is no assad,

somebody who has ruled over syria for 54 years, but rather the position fights is coming from all across the country. this you said that i'll just go to damascus. but let's get more now from, nor commercial, who has more on the syllabus, celebratory mood and hama the, the new farmers here on the thousands are not brother. that's the most significant squares of the city of the events that are on the revolution. as they say, they're going to bring in the 11 thing is the 2011 song during the uprising got the most of the moments were over 14 years. and now finally the dream has gone through, but not about that as well. on the grid,

the syrians are free. the sure the, the full of pressure also means that there is no more fear. it also means besides air force that was directly targets in june list will no longer kill us before the phone with us, a june list were exposed to killing and forced disappearances at any time and have the love of a pass soon as i sign god. after 14 years of ugliness and justice and terrorism on the asset who is truly the most brutal terrorist, we are now free. we hope for a government that will fulfill our dreams, which assets stove from us and who deprived us full of all right. we hope for a government that will rebuild the country, that asset destroyed. he stowed and looted everything before he fell and fled, god willing, syria will again be a united country. those who are going to be participating in the gathering god

there. they're saying that there are, they are going to destroy my daughters, do whatever and 6th period or the religious at the all the corrupt memorials that the i saw the yours used to propagate the guess the did the fraud to 0, from kentucky to a lot of in now took, he is for a minister, how confident is speaking and, and current. let's listen to the content of the conference is also very rich. this year they're going to be discussing in the issues of defense, a security intelligence economy, finance. it connectivity in the street, in my mind to energy migration and culture is going to be the topic of the various spend those organized plus we how organized and academic day way we will be discussing and the theory and the practice of foreign relations. as you know,

an important part of our phone relations for us is economy and connors, we know that the, the invest. so there is, are important bridges in relation to providing new markets, supporting investments, as well as promoting our economic strength to or over the world. and engaged in very important economic and commercial activities for that vision in order to find solutions to, to the problems of businessmen for them to be involved in new projects. they had taken an important role with this opinion. we have actually organized a meeting with a d, a date business council and the, the ambassadors. so we have a nice round table meetings for them to meet. another important part of our conference is also going to be our internal assessment and we will be discussing it with the ambassadors together with the relevant to director generals to be a discussing various issues that are going to be undertaking this year,

their priority and their strategy being in line with all our targets in the region, the meetings we will also be discussing various phases of our multilateral foreign policy. we will be listening into your perspectives as ambassadors for the invitation to different yoga fees. and we will have an opportunity to have a holistic approach to our foreign relations. the strategy wisdom is going to be a mean goes it together with the concepts of behavior. and they will try to be enlightening a path over this, the uncertainty of countries because that is the trick is foreign minister spacing in ankara. we will monitor that press conference and come back to it a little later on. well, during the show, all sounds world, tens of thousands of people who oppose the government were in prison. some forcibly disappeared at the notorious, and now a prison in damascus. many were taken to underground selves known as the red wing

people on digging by flashlight in order to try and free and nights that held on the ground. specialized haines from the wide helmets organization has now arrived at the prison in search of the times who might be held in it in cell is the, these are the scenes at the prism is a nice, but now to look for a prisoner's image from overcrowded cells something shock of the use of imprisonment excels on the which has more for the they run is free man for the 1st time in years escaping the confines of serious prisoners. the across syria scenes of liberation as thousands emerge from detention centers, leaving facilities that have been described as human slaughter houses address

thoughts. becky, as long rule that many activists have called a kingdom of silence. they are among thousands of individuals. the rest, as for opposing president assad during and since the 2011 uprising was just the number i been missing my family, things i'm dead, they don't know anything about me. there are many people who have been missing for many years. there were prisoners with me who were 60 and 70 years old. the mass release follows us with defense, that by opposition groups will seize control of government, strong coals, a level, hama, and homes, ultimately capture in damascus and ending assaults rule. for years, the un documented systematic torture and abuse in more than $100.00 detention centers. among them said i a prison. the most notorious and amnesty international says thousands were killed there in the mess, hangings and secret executions survivors report overcrowded selves and widespread

torture with pipes and electric shocks. many died from preventable medical conditions and their families never learned their face. i know 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 excused today for kansas families who have waited years for use of their missing loved ones. they are released brings both hope and anguish with the present gates finally opened. see what will have to come to terms with some of the darkest secrets of their machines, brutality, and we tunes that may never hill axles. i much out a 0, a mile shall grow, was a wrist, is for protesting. when he was 15 years old, he says he experienced brute tell us a trying to survive in prison for 3 years. well, under torture, i was forced to get a false confessions that was that i killed officers and have weapons and i spied

through the us enough time to end these ram. but that's, you know, false confessions you've given it to you because you want to paint the stuff. however, when i met the judge for around 3 to 4 seconds, with my eyes blindfolded and my hands tied behind my back and not seeing the judge, he asked me, what's your name? how many have you killed? i said none, and he said leave the room then i was sentenced to execution. luckily he, i was smuggled on makes occasion day because they had the most wonderful mother. you could have her name in the store and the system doesn't exist. it's an intelligent services that run every corner of the country. there is no such thing as justice. if the judge doesn't like your hair color, it gets sent and see the execution. you're talking about the system. when the machine has to give a 1000000 people, what women were raved and they give birth to children in so under the ground that the kids live for a few years without seeing the sun or the light or a tree or

a bird. there is no such thing as just as when it comes to that to the regime of the show last night. so when i go to, when they took me to the judge, i didn't expect anything else. i didn't expect him to hear my story. he gave me 34 seconds to say my name and say the word, know, and he didn't even care about it. because under my false compression on the torture, i was forced to say that i killed and list number of officers, even though it's time the boy, the bush, all assad is now in the russian capital must go where he has been granted asylum via russian authorities. russia was a staunch ally of assaults during the series of what and intervened militarily to keep them in power, before on this way of joins by your leadership of oliver, who is in moscow. you, can you just tell us a little bit more about this arrangement and how is going to work between pushing into sounds. well,

of course we do know it has not you information about, especially on the side here in russia. we know that he is the ass of presidents now . he and his family members have arrived in most good. that's official. it's been published by the official states, the agencies, the russian authorities have gone to the indeed them political asylum we see were full. so now, and that russia as no a bonds and stay resign syrian presidents and such difficult circumstances aside, was allegedly evacuated by russian plain from the russian advice and latasha, the sewer in a position that has reported the guarantee, the security of russian miniature bases in let's talk and talk to us as well as diploma as a commissions in the country that is very important for russia and for the russian government and wild bill position in series. who make a transitional source. he russia has requested imagines to consultations with the un security council on the situation in syria. as the russian authorities consider it necessary to resume negotiations on a supplement in syria under the un umbrella most go has

a shed. old pause has to manage the peaceful transition of power using political means. so obviously we are also hearing reports of the syrian embassy he in russia will see in store the flank of the sea were in a position of the building that according to russia's estates agencies. and let's see, for decades, see where it was rushed as strong as outlined them, at least as he said, russia has been having enable base in tattoos under that basis may mean natal care for exchange for most cuz political ends made a trace of gold. uh right now, according to various sources and according to rushes for ministry, the ministry personnel of the russian bases and see where it are in high, low times. there is no serious threat to the safety. we know that said the pacing tattoos, these ships have been have less to be pulled off top twos, but they are on the raid right now. so obviously, the situation remains to be seen. how is going to play out? indeed, thank you so much, julia julia,

she'll have all of us for us in the most got going to speak to know a day. she joins us live from you of a boat across in between jordan and syria. no, i understand you've been speaking to refugees. the syrian refugees are desperate to get back home to syria. what if they've been telling you tom? it's a mixed bag, some or just here for a visit to visit king of the syrian refugees who could not go back to syria because a fear of persecution by the fall and a subdivision. others have not been back to syria for 12 years, and there were also jordanians, i've been speaking to a family of their uncle was in a, a new syrian prison for the past 12 years. they got to see him once. after 7 years of imprisonment, he's considered one of the lucky ones. and when they asked him, what happened, why were you detained? all he could tell them was long live shot in a sudden. now they're waiting at the gate to receive him after he was freed,

along with thousands of syrians and cal study ends, enjoy damian's and others from those a present. so there is a lot of hope here, a lot of emotions at the border crossing in many, many thousands more. the waiting to be let bought into a serious and the benjamin netanyahu. his is canceled a 50 year agreement with syria. can you explain exactly what the agreement was? it's just how significant this is quite significant. and in fact, the jordanian government here has been damned that you know lots for a move. this agreement reached and 1974, basically ended and arrange the situation between syria and israel following the 1973 war. and what it did is the mark kate temporary borders because israel continues to occupied part of the syrian golan heights. there was

a buffer zone administered by the united nations, and then the syrian border lines of the syrian army was patient. they are now. what is real has done is cancel that agreement. you know, lot, 3, take over the buffer zone and go beyond that. and also carry out a successful series of air strikes against targets or against military bases of the fall and redeem targeting air defenses as strategic weapons research sensors and intelligent sensors. and essentially what is really saying is that we want to unit last release, pre emptive lead, take measures just in case the political formation that is a takes control of syria is not amenable to israel and cannot guarantee is really security. and this is something that is in line with the pattern of behavior . i've had them on a power that is room exercises in the region inviting condemnation,

as i said from jordan and other countries. thank you so much for breaking that down . for us, there is no day on a boat of crossing between jordan and syria. arrival groups continue to battle in the north of syria, the turkish back syria. national army says it has taken complete control of the city of men page. it had been held by the us back is the of which is launching, made up of kurdish sponsors will send them clearly joins us now from time to key. and the of the syrian border as system. can you just explain what the repercussions of, of this uh, as well as he believes that the s b a is who manage it, which is phone by the right to do my lease. uh, is it all chisel uh, syrian, uh if you take a syrian, uh you were in weight that let's say m, p k. is it also because of some work as far as the, is listed as

a service organization in to see a in the, you and the how. however, when s t f was formed on before in the it to fight against? i said in syria and be back by the united states, many for mentors, and from the ranks of the care case, it joined the organization. wants to see a husband always say that for us and the s c s y d y p do. they're all the same, they are p, p, k. they are under the banner of the service organization. that's why we won't let them get close our board did they should be, is there a ticket on this is up between us? and is to feel was off to capturing it, tell her father and men beach from the hands though they are. this revel group is to give it to the serial position section. see the mainly the f. a say, when the ocean, the service of aggression, begin to get it back to hear back as to and they progress with child, her thoughts. and there a was men which finally after

a couple of days of to late yesterday the, the say faction, city national, a faction entered members in particular to sources concern that members a very small the city that was run. busy by this, the name is the ring. curtis levels are now under, is now under the serial position army control as a nation full of this is the main idea is used to be why the, on the eastern side up to you free to, to look back to okay, thanks so much. send them for that, some customer over there near the product, which is certainly as well. the us military says it has carried down thousands of electronics on i so targets in syria, the us central come on says the strong so i am dead. ensuring awesome does not take advantage of the full of also the regime. how does your castro has moved from washington dc, the president joe biden to address the situation from the white house saying that this was a moment of both opportunity and risk in syria. he said that the us is at heart

in that opposition. leaders are saying the right words at this moment promising a future government that is inclusive, that this perhaps even moderate. however, the us will be watching to see if those words turn into action and bite in saying that if this is a peaceful transfer of power led by the syrian people, eventually us could pledge humanitarian aid to rebuild the country. but of course, this is all taken with a grain of salt, because biden is leaving office in just over a months time and incoming president elect. donald trump has said that he wants the us to be hands off of syria. but in the meantime, us secretary of state antony blinking, promising that the us would stand in support of the syrian people saying that they finally have a reason for hope. knew well, as we're hearing these words of encouragement, we're also seeing acts of military strength from the us. of course,

there 900 us troops stationed in syria, and on the same day that assad fled the country, the u. s. air force launched as a targeted air strikes against 75 targets link to ice. so this is according to a statement from us central command. these were iso camps and offered as was damage assessments underway. no reports of civilian casualties involved and the timing of the strikes on the same day that aside felt cannot be more stark with the message directly given as a warning to the new leaders potential leaders of syria at coming as a statement from the sent cut commander sent com, commander michael carrillo saying, all organizations in syria should know that we the us will hold them accountable if they partner or support i. so in any way maintaining my i saw and containing its influence is a top priority for the us reporting from washington. heidi to castro out to 0 as to
