because i had some member of the security forces who was assaulting my mother. i couldn't bear to see this and i hit him see if we were brought here. first we would take him to cell 27 hours and then transferred to this cell once and then i'm on. we slips he is suffering from life scabies and allergies. so now we'll get the most of a have to be given. we would towards should daily and unimaginable weiss find they be so so now bad enough, there was someone who would being hit the 15 yours is that i'm a little homeless specialists and on us that's the upside. and we set americans, were there women and children with you or for them to be sent home, but they would many women and children. the women's room is over this, and i was brought before the judge about a month ago. but i didn't leave the sell off to bed substance and what about you flush a mush was held in section 12. you cannot imagine the amount of beating we endured

. there would force us to lie down on our backs and shoulders and then insult curse and humiliated. somebody had not done it. i could. the food was inevitable. no one could eat it. they usually give us a glass of water in the evening to survive. we wouldn't eat again until 7 am the next day. the size of the bathroom was used on a strict schedule. and if you made a mistake, you were beaten, cursed and humiliated. war and i can the non any for a while. we slept and piled on top of each other. if someone was pulled out of a pile and they were beaten outside the cell in this for some the larger i still have marks and went back and legs from the torture. i was even shocked, and the bullet went to the bone here, but i'll show you my legs. i'm sure no coverage on of uh is it the silver fee because of the incident with the security member, i had come to visit a friend and ended up being detained with them, with no connection to any st. and my brother and cousin were also detained,

each placed in a separate cell. we've a cursed, beaten, and humiliated daily on the walls. here we mark dates and wrote things down. for example, this a sunday, it helped to stay connected to the outside world and keep track of the time the seller was in had lighting electricity. but there were other cells with no light at all, where people can see anything. if they wanted you to confess to something they would force you to the ground, tie your feet and beating you until you admitted it there. and if you didn't, they would tie your hands in. suspend you from the upper floor. they even use these handcuffs to hang people above the cell. doors of the tuck is back to syrian national army has taken control of month ears from the cottage syrian democratic forces. the son of injured aid reports from the northern syrian cities according to the syrian democratic forces. the current despite is a head that is a true style between the turkish back a city and nations army and s p a which is being brokerage by the united states. we

are here at one of the places that are being taken over by these by does the states that there's been intense buttons to take this view of men beach from various spots and they continue to go to birds the euphrates river so that they have complete control best of all locations of the euphrates river from could reach back because it's kind of according to the size of the a number of networks of tenants that are under the city of men beach. and that is why they have a populating portion sleep. and seeing that they, the people who are here are reluctant to come back because they are not sure what they will find from that to the beach is strategically important for the credit courses. who have helped this area since the defeat of items. and that is something that is being a boat of contention between those good. in fact, forces that took the sees as the total risk. and the, the fight is we're here on the ground turkey. once out of it, it is to be under the control of that apply does. so it can create

a so called buckboard is going on it's border. but now it seems to be, since the fall of the assad government seems to be closer to making that zone secure, this is going to be an ongoing operation. we are heading from combining from the outskirts of my beach towards the down of the screen and other areas where operations from the city and national army are continuing. and they say that they have complete control. somebody be driving down to 0, that'd be this is really ministry has been carrying out a major error offensive on syria. it's launched nearly $500.00 strikes since sunday, including on the capital, damascus to naval facilities where his with 15 vessels were adults. israel's army claims to have destroyed 80 percent of serious military capabilities. is there any ground forces are also moving deeper into the syrian golan heights and effectively expanding israel's occupation?

the military has seized work was a demilitarized both a zone and move that the un says violates the 1974. this engagement agreement between israel and syria, israel says it will do whatever is necessary to eliminate what it calls, potential threats in syria. the military has been attacking naval fleets, weapons production, size, and airfields for the 4th day in a row. is there any forces have targeted them? it's a military and force, which is 8 kilometers away from the syrian capital. for so sir, the reports from damascus. a good at message ministry, a port. this is one of the largest submitted, a pause in the capital city, damascus indeed is just a few of them because we from the city center and this right behind me, it is a russian made attack a helicopter. and now it's completely burned out as a result of the is rarely

a truck that has been conducted intensively in the last couple of days. still the test see that or that some of the shut up knows and also the parcel the had a cost of this was just thrown away. this is one of the parts of the paid or the how the cop there, of course is not, could be whether that is what i'm. that's how the tax had to come to the just we have seen or whether it belongs to that the carrier had a copy of the card with me to 3. how you called that. that's also a russian made, had to come through and you can see that it also has been see it by is right, a forces and completely burned out, completely destroy each year. well, the other side is that how good is that? a steel is class and some of the how to cope those over there. some of them has been damaged, but some steel or their, their intact. good for now, officials are not letting us to get there because they say, well, it could be a slim. it is angela's as is ready, a strikes on the message, a port is the cartoon. and so as a port was not just hosting the the,

the area we're close, but also it was costing the tanks for the protection. so this pencil or from the, for the vision, that's what the record on the responsibility of made. and i said, so the shuttle that says brother, and you see different types of the russian made times will be here when the positions fighters where we're approaching admin seem to with the capital city, missouri. a port was one of the 1st places that the regime forces have left. it was hosting several, the air defense vehicles as well. this is a russian issue, air defense system. and when we're getting into the airport, we also have seen a rushing move. pump 0 is the phone system that was heavy damaged as a result of the is rarely a strikes and the position fighters here or says that there are steel,

those of this and defense vehicles spread across the airport. and this way, they're expecting israel to come and to i pack them as well, and that's why the say the effort is still not safe. this will said there was a 0, damascus mazda airport. the united nations general assembly has been holding an emergency special session on palestine to draft resolutions. have overwhelmingly positive votes. one demands an immediate cease via in gaza. another is in support of the u. n. agency for palestinian refugees. i'm joined to now live by gabriel elizondo al correspondent, who was at un headquarters in new york. it took us through the implications of

these votes. what do they mean practically? as well symbolically they are very important and even beyond symbolically, they really send a message from the world to the world. and 2 e's real specifically. the message is clear with these 2 resolutions, number one, honora needs to be protected and their mandate needs to be protected. and bolstered, of course, is real, is trying to destroy unreal. they've made that very clear for many months now. and the 2nd message that it says is the over whelming majority of the world is calling for again an immediate cease fire in garza now on the under uh uh, resolution uh that passed overwhelmingly a 159 countries. voting for it, 9 against 11 epstein going to the cease fire, a 158 member states or countries voted for this immediate cease fire. a 9 against

13 epstein. i'm a ceasefire. looked at another way. 82 percent of the member states are voting for an immediate cease fire, particularly, and this is important. germany and italy both both voted for the seas for that's important because those are 2 countries that have abstained in previous boats on a cease fire in guys or that have come up previously in the general assembly. so that's important. on a practical level, this is non binding, unlike a security council resolutions, nevertheless. so this will again, bolster pressure on israel to re wise world opinion here. i should know that the united states voted against both of these resolutions. and they really, once again, are on an island by themselves when it comes to, to guys that particularly of course, this boat and the general assembly comes just a little over 2 weeks after the united states used it to veto power in the security

council to veto a gaza a ceasefire resolution in the all important security council that's a 4th time the us as user veto power and the security council. and that's why you're seeing these resolutions in the general assembly. countries are frustrated with the us blocking, seized by resolutions continually. all right, thank you. okay, that's gabriel alexander reporting from you in headquarters. at least 49 people have been killed across golf. so since don't on wednesday, that's as gauze a ceasefire talks get underway in egypt. in the nose of 22 members of the same family died when the home was targeted in beta law here. many are still missing. as many forces also launched, strikes on the giovanni of refugee 10th nova and gaza has been under a 2 month military siege that's blocked to deliveries of food and medicine. the

attacks also continued in central gaza is rarely as strikes tools at least 7 palestinians in all new set of refugee cubs since october last year is really a tax if kills more than 44800 people, most of them women and children, those attacks came as hundreds of palestinians were forcibly displaced from the own because the refugee camp in central casa, authentic us reports. i'm now a to the, gave us the rest your did come. this place has been warrants by the is where the military today to evacuate. we can say at the moment now people are trying to leave area. they are trying to take that on the sides. that civilians are trying to return back to the houses in order to take the old personal belongings. the situations are quite tends to drones off on the sky right now. cycling overhead. while everyone is quite terrified, i'm petrified due to that, to you about to action or that this place is very densely populated with civilians

. thousands of palestinians are right now preparing themselves in order to evacuate . and this is not the 1st time that my god is it worth your to come has been at force to evacuated because we move them to find the grounds and civilians are trying to find a new sense of sites different just to close us. we will find more people are trying to upgrade the way to the us or control areas of gauze in particular in that right. but i finally, this is their siblings are quite desperate right now. they are looking for a new window of relief as recommended to claims that a magazine has been used as an active military infrastructure to attack these wily territories. we can see how best, perhaps all the faces will do simply as well, quite looking for any place that we can have some sort of respite. but the situation day by day escalate was no really tough. forcing hundreds and thousands of palestinians looking for any way or any means in order to survive. lot of this,

a very drastic columbus say unfolding. then direct advisor. and i would just be around my gods. or if you did con pedestal the still ahead on out as george's 14th to consecutive night of protest, thousands have been demanding a rerun. this column entry elections, the the color of the hey, why conditions remain in place for good parts of australia. we've got some live you shelves across the north as well. thankfully, spastic populated parts of the country here have a so i've said that's why we have some pretty high temperatures. implies the guy re apply pressure in the box when it's coming around that high. and that is driving temperature as well, up into the mid thirty's. that is to some possible

w way that so can slide is my little side, at least with this. we go through the next few die, spell the north and we'd be seeing the shower stable continue send from the positive w way up towards the top. had some heavy down pulls the see what northam and a some positive queen size. something to watch out for. he could cause some flash flooding and it stays pretty similar as we go on into uh, friday buffer. i just noticed the temperature and perhaps starting to photo away still fine and dry. how sunshine virus conditions on the rise full sun as we go on and see whether we can well, i like getting up to around 33 south east side of things to come from the southeast and cool. right down to 20. i haven't passed a few showers that in places using inform me enough cross church, it's 30 celsius. meanwhile, the move is the bottom of wintry, with snow flurries for northern past of japan. the

in october 2023. these raising ministry of intelligence proposed the forcible and permanent transfer of public opinion from because this to people in power. those can just the history of the amount of spinning and displacement and explores whether clearing palestinians from us as the occupied westbank is, is ready to transfer on and just the hello again. this is just a reminder of our top stories. this, our new administration in syria says it's willing to work with international

organizations to secure a potential chemical with insights across the country. it's also down to hold those involved in torturing and killing di chinese in state prisons account support functions from the new administration have destroyed the tumors office on the side . the father of alice did president bush at alison research finance you the mosley, i'm in the us of ancestral home in western serious serious interim prime minister is cooling on the syrian refugees around the world to return to the homeland neighboring to kill and those who fled the civil war, 13 years ago, beginning to cross the folder efforts to shape serious political future have begun with its can take it administration now running stays if is it faces many challenges including uniting a country that's been at war for more than a decade. so in a honda report from zeta,

the 1st place of the struggle that led to the shot alison's over throw. this is wearable charlotte sides downfall begun in march 2011. that as old city. the all muddy mosque was the gathering place for protesters demanding an end to autocratic rule. political change has now come, but i know i'm trying to hurry you. we took to the streets to demand freedom were now free. we rebelled against oppression. now we have security and peace. syria now has an interim administration, and it has a lot of work ahead. it's not just about drafting a new constitution and preparing for elections. this is an impoverished society. so with that, you'd like to hear some of that syria needs a lot of services, health education, we have long been marginalized. we hope that we will get out right, some and now new country so much has been lost during years before the scars of

conflict. a reminder of a dark time serial needs to help with the international community to rise again. but that is conditioned on the new authorities ability to come up with a critical, inclusive and non sectarian governing body. there is hope, but there are also concerns. there are opportunities for syrians to come together to build a state that abides by the rule of law. but there are also risks. there appears to be a new found unity among the opposition forces have long failed to agree on a single vision and whatnot. uh, what is the comedy out there is a joint operations room in damascus, bringing together among others commanders from the north and south. we want to assure our people and the international community we are all in agreement. it's been one of the worlds bloodiest conflicts and recent history. people here blamed a said for factory and destroying a nation, who i remember say i and we need

a differentiation between the muslim and a christian. i swear i'm 67 years old and, and even you the religion of the neighbors. it was the regime that created divisions between people and minorities. hundreds of thousands of people were killed in the struggle for a new syria. many hope it's a new break that will bury the divisions of the past. what's at stake is the future of millions. one of them is 8 year old. how much does that include? there actually is a to the southern syria. well, millions of syrians are celebrating the full of a science regime. the economic instability means many of finding it difficult to make ends nice for some items such as vegetables and bread has become a luxury. north dakota much has been speaking with people in damascus about the struggle to buy the basic necessities us. we are here in one of the local and traditionally marcus and the city of damascus. and as you can see now, shops,

the vegetable shops of the grocery stops, jobs are now open in the markets of the city of damascus. however, we talked to the shop owners, as they told us, that even though the price is i've gone down a bit. but the ability for the people to buy their basic necessities to buy the groceries and vegetables are somehow absence after the fall of the. busy a sod redeem and all the country as they say is going through a sort of a paralysis of phase. now that they. busy don't have jobs and the jobs upper upper to these are now a absolutely absence of a people are a basically don't have any source of income amount of them and people could no longer afford to move. we must have access to bread, diesel rice, sugar and t. prices have become very expensive. we don't have enough money. we have a new government will provide enough support and work hard to reduce this crazy

rise and price is the mother basically the if you see order that people don't have extra cash. and that happens in salaries of very long, for example, that can cost your entire salary just to pay the electricity bill and nothing else will be left for the family. people my age can't even afford to get married. they told us that the people are trying to sustain themselves would be the most basic necessities on the thing important and an important items from their shop list. and they told us also that the provided the pro but providing bread and electricity as the also reach into health care services is also very challenging. i mean these times and they told us that the really hope so that the situation will get better in the upcoming a future look or much from damascus city projects. ero, meanwhile, us secretary of state and state blinking is heading to the middle east to discuss

the situation in syria with regional late is blinking has reaffirmed us support for what he described as an inclusive political transition. there may be, and i very much hope there is an opportunity to move syria away from the disaster of the recent decades toward a country that is unified. that reflects all the different communities that make up syria. and so that we get a political transition that's inclusive and that brings everyone together. we have an interest in seeing that because if syria goes the other way, if it's fragments, then we're likely to see more mass migrations. we're likely to see more places in syria, the became the become centers for terrorism and extremism. none of which has in our interest to some of the other day as news. now, protests in georgia have become so regular that police and demonstrate is all familiar with each of those tactics. they've been 2 weeks of rallies, demanding the resumption of you,

accession tools. dimitri method and co explains what happens on a typical night in the capital. this is the georgia in parliament, the focal point of these protests demonstrates is gather here every night at the end of the working day. it's around 8 pm here local time. and this is when people start filling up this area of uh, restore valley avenue which is closed off for traffic. they got it here. and then tens of thousands of people will be joining on through the night, filling up a whole one kalama, to a stretch of the streets. and the police establish a cordon beforehand on those 2 side street to the right and to the left of parliament. no protest as go right top, so the police lines shunting and shouting and pointing, lays of pins and police don't respond and this continues for several hours, then come the fireworks, the weapon of choice for demonstrators. now we've seen protest as tall,

so as fireworks over the barricade is exactly what is happening right now. and then police bring out bama trucks and right units from the back end from liberty square down the south end of the street. and this is when the face of the protest changes and things start happening quite quickly though peaceful protest as on their own to avoid trouble stop moving northwest. while fully mosques groups move forward, they're ready for a fight. and this happens around midnight. now, as police get the order to disperse the crowds, the clashes begin a move in securing the perimeter and grabbing anyone who stays in that way. now most men with no insignia, we've seen them come in from the flanks and engage in groups. thousands of protesters end up in the hospital or detained full bo. now police then do several other pushes forward around 50 meters at a time and outcomes, the t a gas to clear the area and pushed by them. and this is where the police

court and finally stops usually and the bottles begins.
