the, the stories being told not right. it's not accurate from social networks to legacy media. the listening post explosives, the policies behind the headlights pulled out the the goals for unity in syria off the opposition forces. take the mask us on top of the sod ration the tell mccrae this is how just a line from dog ha. also coming out. the rescue is working to free people from sydney, a prison with inmates of suffolk use of torture and abuse. bush on silence. his family fleet to moscow without being ground to the sign them and non people are

killed and, and as rarely attacks. now, as refugee camp and central cost the we begin in syria to die off to the full of the assault ration. 15 years of war and decades of dictatorship have killed hundreds of thousands of people and full of millions from their homes. now celebrations, taking place around the world with many hoping for peace and reconciliation. low position forces are promising to uphold state institutions of the capturing the capital of damascus. thousands of inmates had been freed from syria's most notorious prison scenario, where many have suffered to years of torture and abuse. teams of searching for those still held and hidden sellers. and the most go,

the opposition flag has been raised to the syrian embassy. this comes a day off that bush, i'll a side slip to the russian capital over. so instead of joining us now from damascus or so can you just talk us through? what exactly is happening there? what is it, what is it like there on the streets of damascus today? a while the transition on the way of the some of the institutions, if i sort of used from santa new the city body is to me to say that they have cleared the problems to be that they are in control of every parts of the particularly when the therapy office in the past they are given, testified no more than own however now

is, is the security. so when it comes to security, we see that in many parts of the city, good 70 check points and time security measures. but with mobile only to one c zillow, position faction, the vision that's coming from the, the, the, and the song. so when they got into the city, the people of damascus. so yeah, this look, all is here today. they're not opening up these shows because still there are mixed feelings here. people are much freedom. it seems kind of completely a secured or safe as a result. no, it is difficult to have an excess of what the food, despite them being a winnable actually have to market. but just because the shots are no clues,

it's difficult to have and access to that. and also these did the particularly is the, because this is the main dominant stores that practically market government here. they have a solvent 7 command centers. and to know that centers they are not i was told is nice and those close to for why i'm just the vision. one of the sentence is right stuff. building the building, both as i've got has been actually the minutes the water will be and he's over to the seeds as me for decade as the minister to have for them. now this is one of the command center of face. yes. and they are, with, was trying to avoid this utility regulates allies and also facilitates safety to this. one of the sentence wasn't, you can see that of the that are very much intensifies quite often public eyes,

electricity as to what he is has not been through the years though is the only support of the other. now since yesterday it's a little bit more it seems, but another major concern is that it is right. so over 24 hours according to the price of year is that has contacted around $180.00 of strides. and that is also key b, b being a major, a security concern. that's why the position particularly nice. they are cutting off, trying to reduce the level of delight that's supposed to be particularly the presidential part of the security. this app is that so and see right behind us over there you just see that the smoke is still rising. doesn't a result of one of these is rarely a structure, and that is a sample of the this is one of the central parts of damascus. so you can see that each varies audion be shipping, targeting the center of damascus as well. and is it protects the scene that this

facilities that they had a hit him on the weapon production facilities and certainly said they're concerned that this but some sort of that she thought of as you know, the said the main concern is the security. i know all of this thing gets, this is going to take time. however, we just see that there is a very delicate balance between the different and such as well for the position. so the all is that the comment on going to this one of the surprise. yeah. and plenty of development. this also development as the said, ne of prison. understand the want homeless, a, a trying to free people in these hidden sellers. what more can you tell us about that? exactly. a cd. it's saying that they how many houses and people from stuff may have reason is, is one of the 40 as prison in, in, in,

because here i've seen that stated that they might, that might be some secret parts of the map. reason that they are grabbing to access is looking for that searching for that. and they're seeing that there are still many people. they have the last day of classes and that the some of the secret means that store saw this, the k o of the number. yes, i don't know whether it is just of now. yeah. or what it is that are some other churches centers. unfreezes a close to a child that goes to damascus for now, but what do you know? and i left with that was which is in the homes that was the case. and in, in, in damascus uploads to wendell position to forward to go to the civic. all the posts as the days and hours are past due. you got a good job. more stories for these people and day. thank you so much for it. so for all of that in and critical, david again in damascus,

many years. they were prisoners with me, who were 60 and 70 years old. the mass released follows us with defensive by opposition. groups will cease control of government, strong coals, a level, hama, and homes, ultimately capturing damascus and, and the 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 then of the am this, the international says thousands were killed there in the mess. hangings and secret executions survivors report overcrowded cells in widespread torture with pipes and electric shocks. many died from preventable medical conditions and their families never learned their face. i know he was up too much. 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 news that they are missing loved ones. they are released, springs both hope and anguish with the present gates. finally, open sea road will have to come to terms with some of the darkest secrets of their machines, brutality. and with the ones that mean never hill axles i much out is 0, will speak to, nor does she joins us live from the of a border crossing between jordan and syria. no, and you've been speaking to refugees that have been flooding back across the board into syria. well, what if they've been telling you it's the, it's a mixed bag of emotions. tom, there are those who were here visiting their relatives who are refugees fill in the 30 refugee camps. there are those who were in jordan staying because they had to escape for the rest of the fall and aside for z mandibles,

hope there were questions. there were, you know, timid expectations if you will, but all anxious and eager to be back home. i spoke to one young man who's been away from syria for 12 years. he basically escaped for his life and he hasn't seen his wife or child for 2 years. he, he's going to syria to meet his child who was born in those uh, in the past 2 years. he doesn't know what she looks like. and so there's a lot of emotions there. also, jordanians who've been scarred by the surgery and everything for their loved ones to come back from syria. some of them have been in a side that is imprisoned for many years for up to a 18 years. so there is a lot of emotion here. way more than the space the open space can even handle. and for now, these gates for once are

a source of happiness for all those old around us and no missing yahoo is canceled a 50 year agreement with syria. can you just explain exactly what the agreement was and the significance offers? but um, this is basically the agreement that ended the 1973 more. it was signed in 74. it basically the marketed temporary borders between israel, which still occupies part of the syrian goal on heights and syria. and there's a buffer zone between those 2 demarcated borders, temporary borders that were as administered by the united nations. what happens is when the subdivision file is really unit lots early, and i know the agreement took over that buffer zone. and once even beyond that, it also started bombing several sites that belong to the military of the fall and regime and according to the use, or at least what they want is to neutralize and the defense systems,

ariel defense systems of weapons, and intelligent sites that could be used by elements in the newly forming or still forming political situation in syria that may not be favorable to as well. so again is rarely unit laterally. just the starting is had demonic power, basically in the region and saying that it's ready to talk. but on its own terms and date, thank you so much for all of that. no, no, i day for us at a border crossing between children and syria. in the north of syria, the turkish bank, syria national army says that this taken complete control of the city of men bridge . it had previously been held by the us bank syrian, the democratic forces, or if the, if, as long as you made off of kurdish fighters. but to explain all this way joined now by some castillo, who is, and how ty, and to key in the of the syrian buddha at 1st. and wilson. okay. can you just explain what the ramifications are of this?
