of what happens in new york has implications all around the world. it's an international perspective with a human touch zooming way in and then pulling back out again. the israel targets hundreds of naval and military science across syria. the un secretary general close for an end to the strikes the hello. i'm jessica washington. this is all just even live from don't ha, also coming out of the theory, you know, position scientists say they've taken another major city capturing did as or from kurdish forces. the foundations of the group that toppled to the us. i appreciate

what people in it live to think of. i have, i'm pretty an awesome and is leader is really as strikes across guns that you'll at least 30 for palestinians. areas around the come, i'll add one hospital in the besieged news until august, the israel's ministry says it has carried out hundreds of strikes across syria. in the past 48 hours, it says it was targeting weapons stockpiles across the country. it hits also targeted de la takia and l beta ports, as well as 3 airports. israel is denying reports that its forces have advanced further into syrian territory. same bus or avi has moved from the 11 on syria border. the largest air operation in the history of these really air force. that is

how is real, describe the tax on at least $250.00 targets inside syria. in 48 hours battering what it said were to military sites, including naval vessels and 3 major airports. a made a security vacuum after opposition forces ousted president bush are all that's a lot of unless we are in the business manifold. on later at night while we were at home, we heard the sounds of the air strikes. i called people at the port and they informed us that the board was being targeted this morning. we went down and saw that these really army had struck the former resumes military boats. the air strikes followed these really military seas in control of a demilitarized buffer zone and syria, in violation of a decades long. you went back to cease fire agreement between the countries. a name of the only con, hit by william, the rebel leaders and syria. whoever follows assets past will end up, like i said, if we will not allow an extremist islamic terrorist entity to act against israel

across its buddhas and at the risk of its citizens, we will do whatever is necessary to remove that threat. is real, is again claiming all its actions are in self defense to safeguard its border to prevent the old regions arsenal from falling into anyone else's hands. but israel's critics, including arab leaders in the region, say it is using instability and syria to make another land grab and bomb. another neighbor i spelled out. last night, we lived in terror. people came out of their homes, wondering what had happened. we did not know what was going on amid the chaos rumors circulated that is really tanks were on the outskirts of damascus, which is real denied in the past year. israel has committed genocide and palestine carried out attacks on loving on iran gym in iraq. and now its largest ever ariel operation on syria, a mass of assault that is compounding the already challenging task ahead of

bringing an internal order to a new syria. zane bus for avi. ultra 0 must now at the 11 on syria border. the united nations has called on is round to stump the bombardment, the spokesman for the un secretary, general warrens that attempts to see the syrian lines are illegal. it is very clear that we stand against any violation of the territory of the territorial integrity of syria. we are against of these types of attacks. i think this is a, this is a turning point for syria. it should not be used by its neighbors to encroach on the territory of syria. it should be used by all those in the region and beyond to support the syrian people so they can choose their own path. so they can they work and work on a transition that is here in the lead that is syria own that is inclusive where all the minorities, the myriads of minorities that,

that are in syria, feel safe and feel, feel they are part of the syria nation. i'm joined now live by holland old man who is a military analyst and senior advisor at the atlantic council, and he joins me now live from washington dc. so thank you for joining me on out a 0. all we witnessing perhaps disguised land grub in the form of this aggression from israel. absolutely not. i think on the one hand is real argue that it wants to remove as many of syria's military capabilities can. on the other hand, israel does not have the capacity to grab a great deal of land in syria. it's really over extended already. as you know, it controls to go land on the mediterranean, that belongs to syria, and it's been pretty exhausted. and that's war against the most against as the law . so my view is that for me, it is really perspective,

it's going to take every opportunity to try and make sure that serious weapons do not hold on to other hands. but you can argue that given the very fragile state of syria, why is real is doing all this now raises fundamental questions. so this is an issue, but i think that is real as a technical soon subside. however, it may probably do not felt the situation right and telling me we had earlier from the spokes person for the un secretary general or read part of what else he had to say that for all part the peacekeepers at the united nations disengagement themselves as full as informed to these rarely counterparts of these actions do constitute a violation of the 1974, this engagement agreement. so suddenly criticism coming from many sides here against israel, acting in a way that does go fundamentally against international knowns. of course, but this is not the 1st time that is realistic in its own self interest. and certainly from the perspective is best real, which many people, including in the,

our world will not agree is real, sees a problem and that there are lots of weapons that belong to the syrian government for like the hans that may be opposed to israel. and so from their perspective, what they're doing can be rationalized. on the other hand, the effects of this bombing could be very, very destabilizing, especially if the new regime is trying to impose some degree of democracy and stability. but this is the problem that we face. one country security is another country's absolute in security, and we're seeing that right here. holly, you mentioned perspectives from the arab world. i'll just read some of those out for our audience. egypt foreign ministry has accused israel of explaining the situation. meanwhile, akash has foreign ministry says that this is a dangerous development, a blatant attack on serious silver anti saudi arabia also criticizing israel's determination to undermine opportunities for syria to restore security and stability. so suddenly, a situation that has caused some information and further attention in the region.

no, no, but what are the united states and the western allies responded so far? probably so far they have that said very little. what do you expect them to say in any expectation of what the incoming us for ministration might might do in this situation? you know, i think that the incoming administration will say is realize every right to do what it's doing because the possibility of searing weapons going into the various hands is quite serious. but i think is real. will probably hold back on its attacking after a day or so. and i think this matter will be put behind is also a larger question here about the future of the gilani government. people may not remember, but in 1959 christmas time when fidel castro, but through the battista government in cuba, there was every expectation that castro was going to bring democracy. he did not. i'm not suggesting that i will. mohammed gilani is a castro. but what i'm saying is that the outcome that we'll see what's going to

evolve in damascus is very much in question. one hopes that it leads to a more democratic and more civilized rule. but at this stage, all that remains to be seen, and frankly, israel's bombing, if it persist for an extended time, will not be helpful for that outcome. and holland, in this moment, as you say, as, as the situation remains rather uncertain how smooth can we expect that this process of political transition may be, oh, that's a great question. so far, nice state so far it's going very, very, very well. the prime minister has stayed in the office. there is no evidence of looting or any kind of chaos as there was in the rock after the invasion. and when the insurgency broke out, or in afghanistan, they up to the americans left very, very rapidly. but so far so good. this is rather like somebody who jumped off the empire state building in new york city, passing through for 75 saying so far so good. whether this will be as smooth

landing or not. it's too early predict, in my judgment, but at least so far, the signs are not necessarily ominous. thank your holland. that's how an old man, a military analyst and senior adviser at the atlantic council, i'm sure will speak to you again soon. life in serious capital is beginning to return to normal days of the opposition. the site is took over damascus, shops and banks on reopening and the new administration has installed a police chief russell sort there is in damascus and has been asking people on the ground. what they make the change frantic work is on the way as it may be used square in damascus. presidents and position fighters join hands to clean up the area where they celebrated the full of the south regina position fighters are now in charge of security. in the capital. our fighters are deployed to patrol

across damascus. we will not rest until full, security and order are established in every part of the country. the high school students out of warranty are going to have we own happy that our capital is now free. we are here to encourage more young people to come out and join this new and i'll be building our country. the sub game cube, hundreds of thousands of syrians in the civil war that broke out in 2011. when new position fight as active, damascus on the 8th of december, the last a curfew at night and state and public institutions stopped their services. but when the tours be often redeemed collapse, bags and bazaars reopened, and life began to return to normally. the story tell me the above has been an important business hob for. a res nope, only for the masters of syria before the whole region. but shops were closed. i'm

business interrupted tier, formally default of this uh regina. now, once again, it's mostly was, it was team is a shopkeeper in how media bozza says he inherited this job from his grandfather and father bought it. i was hesitant. i was in my shopping the 1st 2 days, but then i found a sense of relief. now, oh, the shops and the bizarre open. under the regime we was so isolated from the world . now we feel reconnected dash ice cream shop is regardless as the oldest in damascus. let's just say generations of the generations have visited it to celebrate these to be moments. so i know you'll never mind them now for 2 days. i haven't slept of joy today. i came in to have ice cream to celebrate the victory of people on the buzzer. connected with the historical may of the most as eastern and many serious from different cities out of visiting the most. for the 1st time in

years as life returns to some semblance of norman in damascus, the city and flag has a green stripe again. and another star representing a new era for the country. this was the end of july, damascus serrano positions. scientists say they've now taken over data as or the north eastern city was previously under the control of syrian cottage forces. it comes a day of the 3 civilians were tools when curtis forces dispensed a demonstration cooling for them to leave data. so in the full opposition forces began there offensive. in late november, i have alternated assume controlled the area around it live in north west and syrian, syria's new prime minister mohammed over. she was also prime minister of the administration that that was known as the salvation government. some of inch of a spoke to locals in it live about the hopes for serious future are the

best time is displace amount at the no man, a city in town, maybe flotsam by the south region. you know, runs a small business in northwest and it just on a business level you, i live very well hit the salvation government is doing a very good job here. i have had so many good things about giovanni people, security. most people here believe that this is it's a ground 0 of the rise of m, as in china, also known as obama. the giovanni and nothing was done since taking over syria. he's appointed a new prime minister of the machine, was already the bmw of the so called celebration governments in northern syria. and it's here and it left for the salvation government has ruined since 2017. it had to establish public services. in addition to a unit 5 minutes to come on, unlike some other parts of the country, there is electricity and basic services such as health and education. but there's many scars after 14 years of the shot of the funds,

attempts to punish those who opposed as rules. however, many in the post decide are even more determined to rebuild. most people say on camera, the bulk of the since take over, but hundreds also protested earlier this year against the group. they want the tax relief for the release and bit of living conditions. h d a says it's learn from what people's want and plans to make things better. here's how do you start here the oscar you, hey, a tough data. sam is a military group responsible for protecting the liberated areas and responding to attacks by raising forces. the salvation government is a civilian body that works to provide services to these areas and supply essential needs to the people that includes medical security and relief supplies. aiming to ensure life continues for citizens. currently, the salvation government has more than 11 ministry people. there's hope that security and stability will look to the theory. we're not very comfortable

because our relatives and family are still in homes. we will return to homes when things settle down to reunite with my elderly mother, our family, and our relatives. i can't describe my feelings about returning that and seeing almost as high as any of the shot which would originated from it. lift is from the same sort of thing for the chief in the city. but finding a city is going to be different from running an entire country, divided along the village of essex infected in line. and it is unlikely easy. the goal is to cease by adults continuing in egypt with his really media reporting that casa is returning to play. an important role in the discussions, meanwhile, is rarely asterix. continue in the strip, the latest to destroyed a residential building in the north. the attack in bad honda and killed 25

palestinians on tuesday. children are among the dead. is there any forces also carried out several of the deadly strikes in all new setup and rough up in the besieged, nor is there any will. plans has continued them on board, meant around come on, and one hospital is rails at 2 months located has stopped food, water and medicine from getting into the area. the still ahead on i'll just say the reactions from the 26 year old suspects charged with the motor. the health insurance ceo as he makes his 1st cold appearance survive is of the atomic flemings of japan, received the nobel peace prize and deliver a message about the modern day conflicts.

the category that it's very cold across the northeast asia at the moment with below average temperatures from northern china and the korean peninsula will see the return of some renewed wintry weather for northern areas of japan with a cold wind blowing down knocking temperatures down for much of the country, 11 degrees celsius on it in tokyo, on thursday. the rain p as away from shanghai. it will be west to however, for the south of this for tie, one will see some renewed width and winter weather developing out west. that is looking largely dry down in the south hong kong, the temperature coming down slightly to $21.00 degree celsius on thursday. and that temperatures have come down across the most of south asia. we've got cold wave watches for northern india from ground frost expected in the very north here some

wester, weather working into pockets down from east to areas of economist on as well. the focus smoking issues remain here over the next few days, but it is a very dry picture. it's what's up for the south, and you can see that circulation moving on to the bay of bengal, bringing renewed range of the likes of shoreline costs. very heavy rain to tom will not do, and carola, on thursday, we have got some ample watches out for fun. the storms with that, the, the, the sun rises really up to the here, the history was written. it became theory is here, the

be students and it totally the timeless journey. the the hello again, this is i was a 0, a reminder of our top stories. this, our israel says it's carried out hundreds of s strikes across serious since sunday . so files of strategic weapons and to naval facilities were among the latest hawkins, the you and envoy to syria has called on israel to stop the bombing. the new administration in damascus says it's working to restore order and services officer, the collapse of the asset regime. serious, newly appointed prime minister has also been meeting with the transitional

government serial position fine to say they've now taken over debt as or the northeast and city was previously under the control of syria and cut his forces. it comes a day off, the 3 civilians were killed by kurdish forces during a demonstration south korea's national police chief and sold top officer has been detained for their roles in, in the president's book, which to attempt to enforce marshall lower. it's the latest development after a week of political turmoil as investigations continue into the president's actions . let's go live now to rob mcbride in so and, and so rob took us through the latest developments. yeah, i mean, as we go on day by day, this investigation seems to be expanding, taking a more allegations against more individuals and more branches. it seems of a government and the security forces. we've now had over nights the police making

the emergency arrest of that road, nashville police chief and also the head of soul police power and the full blockading the national assembly on the nights of this insight to the attempt to the imposing martial law. we've also had the special will effect. c'mon, giving evidence before a parliamentary committee and so that he's when he's a claims that he received a phone call on the secure phone lines from president june. so you all are ordering and he says to break it into the chamber to drag little makers out of the chain, but to stop them reaching the 15050 percent threshold inside when they could vote against the martial law. he says that the only decided against taking such dramatic action after consulting with the subordinates, we've also had the form of arrests. now i'll keep you young jill. and the a full that defense minister who's very much tied to this whole martial low episode, formerly on the charge of insurrection i need doing. so he's detailed in the wire,

that he was working in collaboration with you. and so if you all which all seems to be building evidence in the case against the system president enrolled. meanwhile, we've hired for the 1st time a response from north korea to this situation. so that's why it's uh, north korea wrong, characteristically, has been silence up since the whole week since this transpired, but now has come out this wednesday with its 1st comments cooling this a nationwide a k also caused by president. you're also talking in typically flowery language about his poppy regime wielding it says, the knives and guns of a fascist dictatorship, and it seems standing up for the liberal democratic institutions of south career by calling for you to face impeachment and punishment be well, there's also been a further development on this intriguing case of a drone that was found by north korea around p on getting about a month ago. now,

this was claimed by the north koreans to be launched from the south to drop propaganda leaflets. the south koreans of always not commented on this as apparent drone incident, but now it's been claimed by lawmakers here in south korea that this was old as by the full, the defense minister as possibly a way of provoking the north into taking some kind of action that would then be appropriate to establishing marshall little. now this all sounds very foss sites, but in the lights of everything else that has happened this week, that does seem to be a lot as far as many people have, are concerned, some credibility to these clients. and they impact the head of the drum unit 2, again has been questioned by lawmakers here, has refused to give any kind of comments confirming, go denying any of the claims surrounding this drug, which just seems to be adding to that in 3. thank you for all this rub mcbride reporting from song and so done more than 65 people have been killed

in the city of undoing event. state media says the power military rapids support forces targeted passengers on a bus. the bodies of the dead and wounded have been taken to a nearby hospital. the 19 month conflict between the army and the recess has killed 10 as of thousands of people and created the world's largest displacement crisis. suspect in the high profile killing of a us health insurance executive was defiant before being denied. now during a quote appearance in pennsylvania, the 26 year old luigi mend unit is charged with the motor. if unitedhealthcare chief executive brian thompson in new york last week and june a was arrested in pennsylvania after a 5 day man hunt, he's fighting extradition to new york. christian salumi has more. a defiant

luigi maggi and he shouted at the press on his way into court. he is facing 2nd degree murder charges in new york, but he's also facing charges in pennsylvania where he was arrested related to an unlicensed weapon. he was caring and lying to police officers who asked him his name. he initially gave them a fake id. he had his backpacks searched in their authorities, discovered $8000.00 in cash. and a 3 page manifesto of sorts in which he complained about health insurance companies, putting their profits above the care of people. he claimed that these parasites had it coming in that document. now the lawyers for man gianni, by fighting his extradition to new york are delaying the process. this means he

will be in pennsylvania for at least 2 weeks, while lawyers their file motions and appear before the judge. but pennsylvania, prosecutors are saying that they are working closely with new york authorities. and that that case will be the priority. christine salumi, i'll just hear a new york or hundreds of additional firefighters have been sent to help tackle a wildfire in the us stage of california. it's blazing in a mountainous area just outside the city of los angeles. 2000 residents have been evacuated from the homes, and thousands more has been told to prepare to flee at a moment's notice. strong winds and dry conditions are intensifying. the plains can be seen as lauren coronado has moved from the pacific coast highway in malibu. were on p c h right now, which is closed off. of course for this fire you can see where it is still burning

here on the hill side right now. still threatening from what we understand. 2000 to homes, just a terrible situation. we were able to talk with neighbors who had to evacuate. a lot of them who at woke up to sheriff's deputies knocking on their doors. they said they grabbed whatever they could pets documents and they were able to make it to safety. unfortunately, they are still monitoring their home some from p. c. h, watching the flames burn very close to their homes. i talked with one man who evacuated with his wife and his pets, and he said the fire was coming very close to his home. another woman tells me the fire was about a 100 feet from her home. she was able to make it to safety to so a very scary situation for those folks who are directly impacted right now. it is raining ash and the smell of smoke is certainly lingering right now. as the

firefight continues. of course, we are seeing mutual aid in it, trying to put out the fire firefighters from different agencies doing their best, and it's been an aggressive firefight. we got here a little bit closer to 3 o'clock, maybe just before 3 am and we started watching helicopters, make water drops at that hour. this is a perfect example of that aggressive firefight and they will likely be doing a water drop right now. if not now the up. yep. it's happening right now. this is a great example of the firefight and what we've been watching since we've been on the ground closer to 3 o'clock just before 3 o'clock this morning. and of course, we know that the firefight will not stop and we know of the nobel peace prize. the campaign group nissan had. thank you. as cold for the evolution of nuclear weapons in lies of ongoing conflicts in gaza and ukraine. 3 members of the group. so sizes of the us, atomic bombings of japan in world war 2,

accepted the prestigious award in also some new guy. ego reports the it is the combination of decades of what to me when he down to the groceries atomic survivors organization. there was still so much more to do this advisors themselves known in japan as a he, the portia, now in the eighty's and ninety's for the group to draw attention to the horace of nuclear war. re telling the trauma they experienced as a warning to the more than well, for the last name took with us. i forgot to near imagine this. there were 4000 nuclear warheads. this could be launch immediately. this means that the damage that occurred in hiroshima and nagasaki could be multiplied by hundreds, even thousands. and it could happen at any moment. there is a situation where it is not surprising. any of you become victims, possibly even put the tray to silk over. when the united states dropped atomic

bombs on hiroshima and nagasaki, it led to the depths of $200.00.
