the almighty 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 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. the serial needs the help of the international community to rise again . but that is conditioned on the new authorities ability to come up with
7:21 am
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 we're not uh, what is the problem and yet 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 are members to 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
7:22 am
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. so he is struggling. economy means many of finding it difficult to make ends meet vegetable, some brands become a luxury for some, as you know, how much in damascus has been finding out. or we are here in one of the local and traditional markets in the city of damascus. and as you can see now, shops, the vegetable shots 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 of 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
7:23 am
old uh, the country uh, as they say is going through a sort of a paralysis of phase. now that they. busy don't have jobs and be dropped off your opportunities are now. busy absolutely, absence of a people are a basically don't have any source of income amount at them and people can no longer afford to move. we must have access to bread, diesel rice, sugar and tea. prices have become very expensive. you don't have enough money if we had some new government will provide enough support and work hard to reduce this crazy rise in price is the mother basically is if you see what it is, people don't have extra cash in the hands and salaries of very low 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. well, they told us that the people are trying to sustain themselves with the most basic
7:24 am
necessities on the thing of importance and an important items from their shop list . and they told us also that the provided the pro but providing a brad and electricity as the also reaching to health care services is also very challenging. i mean these times and they told us that they really hope so that the situation will get better in the upcoming a future the accomplish from damascus city project 0. meanwhile, us secretary of state onto the blank and is heading to the middle east to discuss it with regional leaders. lincoln's reaffirmed us support for what he calls 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
7:25 am
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 that became the become centers for terrorism and extremism. none of which is in our interest. the south korea as president, has by to fight any bid to impeach him, use actual as defended his short lived martial low degree as an act of government administration and not treason. he blames the opposition for pushing the country into a crisis. i and you can guess all who is in the midst of creating national paralysis and disorderly constitution in south korea. over the past 2 and a half years, large opposition parties had been trying to not acknowledge and bring down a nationally elected president. they did not stop calling for my resignation and
