and so we are, no, i think is a like, and it's my job defense life on how and why the, the israel on leashes a wave of strikes on syria, including damascus just a day after it was captured by opposition. forces the hello and jessica washington dc. life from jo. ha, also coming up, searching for missing family members. we go inside. serious and the tori is sidney of prison. the opposition forces sees another strategic city in syria dealing a blow to curtis finance. i'm 31 when

a 5 and 161 year since libertarian president, have you had any late to call 15 argentina? we've been talking to people here in the show. he's implementing the multiple explosions. have had serious capital a day after opposition. site is forced to the collapse with the outside regime is rarely on the radio is reporting, it's carried out large scale strikes across syria targeting strategic military infrastructure. i'm not sure if the time we manufacture we are taking all the needed measures in order to guarantee our security and protect models in light of the new development and most area of, of the i don't think it's in our interest to go through the details of what we are taking more steps that you will learn more about in the future scenario. so do you,

maybe a cause a and a rock has condemned israel. seizure of both a zone in the occupied golden heights saying it will ruin serious chances of restoring security and stability. it's also being reported cods are, is in direct communication with opposition groups high attorney lashawn, which led to the overthrow of bush at a side. syria is a new administration, is aiming to turn the page on 50 years of dictatorship building what it says will be an inclusive government mohammed over she had, has been appointed. prime minister is matched the former prime minister, angelina of higher 30 and assume to discuss the political transition and then any but the last year we started from nothing but we've been able to achieve so many things i think got. so you will see that we have some people with expertise. we are not starting from scratch. we also need to benefit from expertise that exist under . we're not going to want to go up to everyone, but we weren't. and the reason that to us is dr. resources, but we weren't able to achieve so many things,

soto russell center is in damascus. with more details on the latest is really as strikes. it's not just a one time stride. that's what these riley is going back to. now actually, it's a systemic one. and now the saying that they are a means to destroy syria's defense defense basis. now, now that today they have sheets, 3 major, a pause one in comes the in the north of the country, another one in homes, the companies to our largest city. and then the message a port in, in damascus. so just 8 kilometers away from damascus. and it's not only the mid 3, it'd be this that they have tried there. so i can also on the strategic facilities they, they have, she did that, they meet at the headquarters, the heavy this, the intelligence headquarters. they are cheating the munition depots and then hit through some of the other places that these various claim that the chemical weapons

were, were started over there or there was, they would that they were, they did. they tell me for weapons production houses. so 2 days ran as are seen that often i after attacking or conduct the military. so the strikes on these minutes a basis. they say they have destroyed dozens of helicopters, an aircraft. and the reason that they're doing that to say that they are concerned that this the digit facilities are the administrators, the military equipment could fall into the hands of the position that just nearly took over the country. syrians from across the country have been flocking to them to notorious sydney, a prison near damascus. desperate to find long lost family members, the regime detained. thousands of government opponents, the many of them were forcibly tortured or falsely told. they loved ones had died, st. ahold that has been to the prison and sent this report. they walked for kilometers pain from years of waiting edged,

and their faces. syrians from across the country are converging on the most notorious prison controlled by a regime which has now collapsed. they're searching for loved ones who disappeared years, and sometimes decades ago was determined that my brother was detained in 2014 and it was very hard to know with i took him at 1st, then i found out he was in sick naya. he wasn't accused of anything. it's a story we heard time and time again, is it's only now in a new syria, free of the much feared security agencies that people have at least a chance of knowing the truth. tens of thousands of syrians disappeared in recent years. their cases documented by human rights groups, families look for any evidence. any clue that will bring them closure, but the prison guards are gone. what's left are unsubstantiated claims. what the officials say the 3 days before the city of hama was liberated,

the prison guards transported prisoners to the regime stronghold of latasha as hostages. and we don't know how many of them there are within the walls or untold stories of horror. when the opposition took ground from the regime, they opened the doors of detention centers across the country. but instead now you're only a few 100, walked out. the search for answers in this darkness continues. for many syrians, this person is the symbol of the images that are coming out of this detention facility are the reasons why the screen since 2011 to the man just missed the rule of law and democracy, a former detaining himself. now there came back to help find with people here, believe our underground sales. look, i don't know any i was can, we were imprisoned here during the early months of the revolution. we enjoyed years of torture and brutality. whatever. you can imagine this was where prisoners were

hang executed in syria. this prison is known as the human slot. their house human rights group say it was a death count, and they have documented the deaths of thousands, either from torture or starvation. the gun was the last time i visited, my brother in this prison, his condition was very bad. it wasn't 20. 17 syrians are now free to speak of the decades of repression. but it seems they refused to come to terms with the reality is i don't know how about i know we, we were told there were 3 floors under ground. but after checking we know there are no underground floors, only individual cells, right scoops, reaffirmed this, and say, there are no more prisoners inside sidney, you. regardless, civil defense volunteers say they will keep digging, if only not to destroy the hope center for their else. as ita said, now you damascus the wide how helmets have and not have since announced the end of

the search for remaining detainees within the sidney of prison. the family of a renowned syrian active as has confirmed his body was found at sydney, a prison mason. oh, how nato was arrested and tortured in detention several times before fleeing to europe. he returned to syria off to the side regime declared an amnesty before disappearing in an interview before his return. nathan was asked how he felt about his comforters. how do you feel painful he did not see tell of this fearful of it. but as i left the magical lines of the fact that now let

a turkish back syria, national army has seized the strategic city of month. it's in northern syria, that's still a major blow to the influence of cottage y, p g. find has in the region was supported by the us system cuz only reports from high to only took kids syria border. no one's a strategic hub for the us. spect curtis y p g on group members has not fallen under the control of the turkish bacteria. national army or s n a members was do i? peaches, largest spring, cold west of the fray, t from corporation. doing a free to men budget is framed by god's willing. it's back to its people. it's free, a gift to this victory to the courage and error. the y p g, least to see you in democratic forces or as the f and governs vast areas in

northern and eastern syria, including vital oil fields in areas. hosting 900 us troops. it sees members in 2016 with the us support while the us and later rush, i assure true kid, that the why pj you would with ro after defeating i saw fighters on career, says this promise was never kept on correct regards. the y p g as the ceiling arm of the p k, k. a group designated as a terrorist organizations by true key in the us and the you. and it also views it's pushed for ulton all me in northern syria as a threat to its territorial integrity and a potential catalyst for curtis separatism within 2 kids on boarders. on the top through of the member is an important stop for the turkish bacteria. national army fighters who over the declared rock go as they are next target. but these events as far as concerns in washington and tell a view as pensions in northern syria escalates,

but locally some people are optimistic who will build a new future. and so yeah, not a secretary of reasoning, but united search codes and obviously working as one of the not present nominated. so in the us, senator lindsey graham has underlined the countries support for curtis forces warning trick. yeah, it's called face sanctions. israel has also solved the attacks on why produced wrong pulse must be stopped. regional players are clearly pursuing computing and for us and sir. yeah. so you know, because solo l to 0, how tie onto syria border took. it says it will open a border crossing with syria to ease the return of migrants and refugees. president treasure type out of the one says the passage will help manage congestion check here has an estimated 3000000 syrians, the sled, the civil war. yeah, i love those who do have couple of sooner the we will open the border crossing so

that syrian refugees who want to go back to their country are able to do so. we have offered them hospitality. we have hosts of them and nobody can criticize us when it comes to that. we've completed our humanitarian duty fully. we know very well that the opposition party has to look at themselves and their actions and hold themselves responsible and accountable for all the rumors about racism and discrimination that they have adopted against the syrian refugee. you see, you get some of into the reports from it live, which is forcing kilometer is from the tracking of border to present everyone's comments came as we've been witnessing a large number of syrians flocking to border crossings to try and go back into syria. this is an unusual scene where in the last few years, multiple times where seen these cubes of people existing syria into took it for the 1st time. they're actually flocking to go back. and we've seen the turkish couple been trying to facilitate by bringing in more vote border foot points of where

people can be vetted and loud in. and this new board of crossing is certainly going to help those who want to go back. we are in it live, which was the hotline for the last decade or so that high, a 30 electronic, this dominant group, which is taking over syria a consolidated. it's a group wiped out either opposition, groups of us, those who it was fighting do either continue fighting or joining its ranks and then also under and how to govern as been. so this is where the move and the gun and here been talking to the people and going out in the streets where they have been witnessing, unlike other parts of syria, stability, ruling injustice the court's police if you've seen patrols the mark police cars, etc. so it is a microcosm of what had that issue on once sylvia to look like a but it will have to she had power and a lot of those. and some questions of how this diverse fragmented society,

which has been at it as it says, fighting best is going to come together to build a nation state and fill all of those vacuums and guides and make a syria which is acceptable for all the syrians from all parts of the country, so i'm a java dot 0. it's of the u. s. has pledged to provide humanitarian assistance to syria officer, the collapse of the asset regime. a senior official in the bite and white house says it's in direct, in direct contact with old groups in syria, including the new administration. like kind of reports from washington dc. a new residential assume to be moving in. but the current administration is scrambling to come to terms of the fast moving events in syria. the outgoing president is deeply involved in co ordinating the response. i think as he said yesterday, you'll see him engage with his chair got counterparts in the region over the course of the coming days on the phone to make sure that we all have the same common sight

picture. and we are all working towards the same goal, which is a syria that can be governed effectively and efficiently and meeting the aspirations of the searing people. senior administration spokesman says the us, as in direct or in direct contact with ulcer we in groups including higher, tardy, sham, which designated as a terrorist organization. more than 5 years ago. the national security advisor, echoing the president's woods on the subject. we're going to work with. busy the groups in syria and as president biden said yesterday, the rebel groups, including the ones that have been designated as terrace groups, have actually said all the right things. now the question is, what will they do to try to bring about a better syria? the kind of a jewish state department is committing to more than me. a woods, senior officials from this department. we are standing out through the region as we speak, working with counterparts on how the united states can help support the syrian

people as they decide their own path for the future. including now through providing humanitarian assistance directly to people, particularly those have been displaced and helped them begin to recover. the following is a brutal conflict. recovery will be a process both long and hard. my kind of, i'll just sarah washington, still ahead on to 0. now the nice of anti government coaches signatures and capital against vis fusion election. and the delay is the session tools and the so called which massa in haiti's prime minister says it's a monstrous crime. the had a lot of that's being very cold and very wintry across north america recently. and

we're still seeing those conditions across much of canada, but it's not as cold across the north east of the us and the east coast time because of rebounded facilities like new york as well as washington dc. it's for the south, we're going to see some very wet weather slipping towards the southeast. we could see some flash flooding from that very heavy rain, and it remains raw the wintery across the rockies, pushing into the midwest. now up west, it has been very quiet. we still got that critical flyer risk across southern parts of california. thanks to the santa ana winds and the low humidity for the north of this. so this move, wet and windy weather was a wintry mix, blowing into western parts of canada and out is set to get exceptionally cold across central parts of canada over the next few days. if we have a look at the attempt to and when to pay, we should be around minus $7.00. look at that minus 22. so based to the co, old, that's a lot warmer across central america. and the carrier being, it's will across the northern parts of mexico once again $25.00 in monterey. after

a bit of a cool down over the weekend, there's more heavy rain coming in to southern parts of central america with some big bus effecting nicaragua and honduras on wednesday. the officer a decade of honoring individuals and institutions working and translation between arabic and 40 other world languages. shay come on award for translation and international understanding is hosting it's 10 towards serve. on the 10th of december 2024 in doha guitar, shea come on the award for translation and international understanding from the arabic language to mankind. the,

cautious policy on and ukraine. he wants germany to join the u. k. friends and to the us in sending long range missiles to help ukraine's fight against russia. it was a pleasure to on this planet. we want to enable your me to reach military targets in russia, not the population, not the infrastructure, to reach the military targets from ritual country is being attacked. and i said this and the german parliament a few weeks ago with these range limits, we are forcing your country to fight with one hand tied behind its back. this is north opposition, not finding any russian forces have been conducting and offensive, and seizing the strategic town of book for us in eastern ukraine, although they failed to capture if they've made advances in don't ask region, bringing them closer to the town. i said, bank reports from holcroft resize on the trucks because the mind, russian forces are determined to kind of jump across and you'll see the minus sign

converging on the time from the sides in 3 different directions. the result is the town is almost empty. there's no electricity, it's been shelled and drones talking vehicles for this couple. it's now too much. they've decided to sleep. we there are a lot of explosions. it's an altima regional happening. drones are flying both kind of caused the ones. i'm to those that drop explosive stuff down with oh, that's an offensive happening towards the town and there's a lot of shedding. it puts our lives in danger. we stayed until the very last moment, but the front line isn't 6 kilometers as they officially claim. it's not further than 3. there's no running water. these people break the freezing cold and the threat of being bumped to connected through the 1st or just their shelling every day. i hear at least 20 explosions a day. people are worried about over the last 2 weeks,

the situation has gotten significantly worse with more powerful explosions. further inside the time, the streets are deserted. only those that come up the for a few is disease remain the worst the they, they say. so we deliveries cannot enter the town because of the showing and the shops have run out of cash. so what shall we do now? we will run out of cash. we have bank cards, but what are we supposed to do with them without electricity? and don't worry, they've hit a drone anyway, i have to go sometime these choose to stay with most a sheltering from the fighting to pay. grands remain empty and the pets roam the streets. your great new forces are rushing to reinforce different lines. the areas around this time have seen some of the most intense fighting in eastern ukraine and russian forces are getting closer and closer,

but the ukrainians are struggling, struggling with month power. amunition, and it's not show how long the can hold off russian forces. i started big data across eastern ukraine. the un secretary general has called for a thorough investigation to the massacre of a 184 people in haiti's capital poor defense. the killings of elderly food practitioners were ordered by a powerful gang lead to a blaine's followers of the religion for his son's illness. and he's prime minister has labeled the killings a monstrous crime. spoke she, edmund is a full, my haitian foreigner says minister, he says law enforcement, it needs to improve to protect civilians. one of the reason we believe it can be stopped is to transform all that the mission multinational model obligations and haiti. now to best for me to, to a you have describing for us,

because we have been in, that's where we can have it more of fire power it more power from fire power. it gives the gaze on very often enough to say every time the download, the national police and we understand our national policy is doing it's best, but it is not, you know, what's going on. now. it is a really a big switch to the, to the piece and then the national security because those innocent people are being killed every day for no reason. and, and the international community. it is just the other. but i believe we did that and i show community, particularly those vendors, we didn't do security crossing down to several. it's very important to step up. now . the time is now because it will be those guns are getting more powerful. they are

doing everything they can do. and sometimes, even though our national have bodies you're doing is best. but the kind of a phase there, gina's president is celebrating his 1st year in office this week. since coming to power have you may, has not held back abolishing ministries, scaling back publicly funded media and cutting subsidies. sizable reports on how people have been effective. it's been a year since have you had me, they became argentina's precedent and might have florida says she couldn't be prouder of what he has achieved. she comes from a provenance in northern argentina and is leaving him when a site is in one of his forest areas. so he has to go to the supermarket every week and the prices are not going up like before. the exchange rate is stable, so i see changes. i know there's still a lot more to do, but he needs more time. seems taking off his heavy enemy, they has implemented one of the harshest of steri plans in the country's history.

he'd evaluated the currency by 50 percent. the government laid of thousands of state employees posted on public works and ended subsidies and fuel transport in electricity. argentina had been struggling with throwing inflation for years, but in the past month, it has started to slow down. have you had any nice shock? therapies line has paid off and inflation hasn't dropped to its lowest numbers in years. but when you talk to people here, they say that in the past few years, this plan has had an impact in their lives. recession is ongoing, unemployment is on the rise, and at least 50 percent of the population is living in poverty. at the soup kitchen in front of site is people say price, these are stable, but they cannot afford to buy food as salaries remain low. organizers here say they
