10:05 am
weapons sites. the army has launch 7500 strikes since sunday many on the capitol, damascus. others had to naval facilities with 15 vessels, with adults, as well says that it's destroyed 80 percent of service metric capabilities, including buildings linked to chemical weapons, as where the ground forces are also moving deeper into the golan heights, effectively expanding as well, occupation. troops of seas, what was previously the motorized buffers in you and says that's a violation that the 1974 this engagement agreement is ready forces have talked to mess up military, apple, which is 8 kilometers away from the syrian capital, damascus. russell photo has more. 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 to them. it says, are 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
10:06 am
a result of the is rarely at a slug, this has been conducted intensively in the last couple of days still. because see there are that some of the shut up notes and also the parcel, the how to cost is this was just thrown away. this is one of the pause of the paid or the how the cop there, of course, is not clear whether that is what i'm. that's how the attack had a couple of the just we have seen, or whether it's belongs to that the carrier had to come to the card with me. the 3 had a cost, and 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 as limited. angela's as is really a strikes on them as
10:07 am
a port is steal quarantine and so as a poor was nothing just hosting the the, the area we're cause but also it was costing the tanks for the protection. so this tends or from the, for the vision, that's what the recommended the responsibility of made. and i said, so the shuttle to says brother, and you see different types of the russian made tags over here. when the position fighters were, we're approaching admin seem to be 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 ways to cut air defense system. and when we're getting into the airport, we also have seen a russian move puns. there is the phone system that was heavy damaged as
10:08 am
a result of the is rarely a strikes and do a position fight this year, or says that there are still dozens of these 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. i said now to damascus and then he can speak to i'll just wrestle settings live for us in the syrian capital. russel, describe the scene for us, the today the mood on the streets and what's happening well now we are just if a lot of the more golf much the heat hospital west terms of prisoners body has been taken to now this vehicle is taking that bodies. oh that has just been in the more
10:09 am
a couple of minutes ago. just unbelievable seems so painful seems is out of the families they have just taken the body of what if they are missing families missing member. so, and they say that has been the years, they haven't received any news from him, but now they've got his is his dad by the 2 chairs have a touch of badly tortured and which i see right inside over there. hopefully these 2 sections, there are several, several rooms i've been just there like go. this is extremely difficult to really just drive tens of findings of the prisoners that have been killed perhaps in the last hours of the last hours of the city and the gene, just before the city of the gene falls,
10:10 am
tons of bodies just lined up next to each other, and you can see the, the bodies that are stuff to that, to church, and so dramatically some parts of the body is completely because somebody's caught off and the families are coming without knowing who they are. they do not have any identities. i id cards and at least any information about them. just the decades of bodies and the families. i was just hoping that one of them could be a family member of them because it's syria having even the bodies of your dad's missing family members is still a lock should that are almost 200 pounds and missing people. the time it is,
10:11 am
you're seeing that they have not received any single news from them since years and here just tons of them are here and i'm of them is madison and her mother is a symbolic wisdom of the city of origins of progression. she 1st was taking his present this 1011 and stay there in the, in the, in the prison for almost 2 years for over the course of 15 months heavy, dis, just been by the tortured. i've used and graves and then when he left. so he went to turkey and to turkey, then to europe. and he has conduct a huge campaign of telling his story and the stories of the prisoners in the presence of the regime and done in 2020. the standard team has the last agenda of amnesty and he got back to syria, hoping that you know, he can have his nation better insight. celia then staying abroad when he landed
10:12 am
in the queue that the damascus a port she just was arrested. and since then, there's been no news from him from as in and come up. and then just 2 days ago, when the prisoners were free and when the fight has got into the prison, they have seen that doesn't and how mother says, i mean among those was being killed. just perhaps unfortunately, we have just lost the line to russell said that he was doing us the from damascus, talking about the bodies of prisoners has been found by family members. the, also the prominent acts with mazda and out how my, the, whose body was found just 2 days ago, having been killed just before the prison was liberated. now that funeral, the funeral for madison. how mazda is due to be held in
10:13 am
a few hours from now that in damascus, were expecting thousands of people to attend. he was a prominent access to much loved act. so this, we're going to be talking to russell a bit more about that in the coming hours, and the date will be bringing you pictures of that funeral, which we expect to get on the way in a few hours time. well if it's to shape sir, is political future have become the catch a equipment instruction? now running state affairs and face has many challenges including uniting a country that's been at will some of them 13 years in a honda report. some that are on the bus place of a struggle that led to the over thrive of charlotte side. this is wearable charlotte subs downfall begun in march 2011. that as old city, the almighty mosque was the gathering place for protesters demanding an end to autocratic rule. political change has now come,
10:14 am
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 being 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 syria needs the help of 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
10:15 am
a state that abides by the rule of law. but there are also risks to 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 all people and the international community we are all in agreement. it's been one of the worlds bloodiest conflicts and recent history. people here blame us said for factory and destroying a nation, who i remember seeing i and we need a differentiation between the muslim and a christian. i swear i'm 67 years old and i never knew 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
10:16 am
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 santa for their elders, eda did a southern syria millions of syrians, us celebrating the 4 of us sides. but the week economy means many of finding it difficult to make ends meet festivals and brad, have become a luxury for some. there is no commotion. thing finding out in damascus as 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 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
10:17 am
old uh, the country uh, as they say, is going through a sort of a paralysis of phase. now that they don't have jobs and the jobs up your opportunities are now. busy absolutely, absence and people are basically don't have any source of income amount at them and how that 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 prices. the other basically is if you see what people don't have extra cash in the hands and salaries of very low, for example, it 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
10:18 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 the really hope so that the situation will get better in the upcoming a future look are much from damascus city project 0 to mama don't master as professor at the institute for graduate studies, he joins us now. head in this today could speak to again mohammed, so it's very difficult isn't over states the challenges that are facing this new administration in syria. or if we look at the situation on the ground as a north commerce was just saying, a price of bread is rising, knowing 100 percent in some places you wouldn't say 90 percent of the population needs. humanitarian assistance when economy has really got to be a key priority, have much. absolutely. remember, syria was already
10:19 am
a poor country in 2011 when the uprising started and then civil war and sued. right . and it was already a, a for a country and then the economy is pretty much been ravaged over the past 13 years. the pound has been devalued pretty dramatically. and as you know, to your point, there's been massive inflation. so this is going to be a priority, you know, syrians are kind of you for right now they're celebrating, but that you, for your can turn into frustration very quickly if their basic economic needs are not meant are not met. i should say um, but there are a lot of challenges. i mean about a quarter of syria's revenue was generated from oil exports back in 2011 right now. h t, as does not really have control of most of the oil that is in the northeast region . it's controlled by the united states, and that's the us here in democratic forces. so that's going to be, that's going to be one priority. and then there are sanctions against syria. um
10:20 am
that kind of inhibits their ability to export agricultural products. so lots of challenges are, but i think right now they're trying to kind of stabilize the country and then they're gonna hope that those sanctions are lifted in the thing and help from outside the entities. so those thanks for that is key that they are lifted to how willing do we think of the world is going to be to do that? we've go on sleeping, come us extra is safe in the region. is this going to be the toughest agenda as well? so i've been paying attention to kind of what some of these are, you know, western leaders have had been saying. and the approach seems to be that if the new syrian government indicates a willingness to be inclusive and representative and democratic, then these western entities like united states, will be willing to sort of play ball. and i think that would include lifting sanctions. now we'll have to see, you know, blinking is visiting the region. as you mentioned. um,
10:21 am
typically his visits have not brought much good to the people and in the region. certainly and gaza whenever blinking has visited, disaster has seemed to follow. so i think the hope for you know, this time around is that something positive are, can, can come out of this, not the united states can play more of a stabilizing role, rather than a destabilizing role. the us has, how does fingerprints all over the middle east, and most of it has been negative for decades. and even before the sanctions, h t. s is leading level group now has to come off the terrorism. this doesn't that have you been here in tulsa of noises about that? yeah, so there are, there are rumblings also that lives in the west. the united states, european union and other entities are, are going to, or at least considering lifting that terrace designation. and also that the united states is preparing to perhaps lift the bound to this $10000000.00 bounty that is on the head of i'm from the july the, the, the leader of, of h to yeah. so that would also, you know,
10:22 am
obviously v be very helpful. because these kinds of the sanctions and the terrace designations. the bounty of this will inhibit syria's ability to do trade logic. great. speak to thanks very much coming in europe and nations on to basing the future of the syrian refugees. they all hosting austria has announced plans to the pool. so in my goods, i'll see you k fonts and germany have photos and all asylum applications. gemini, hosting a 1000000 syrian refugee is an asylum seekers that are facing a tough choice between staying in the host country. or returning home, those are jabari reports. you felician and really as one of the biggest communities of syrian refugees in germany, learn the rules of pressure on the side has come to an end. millions of people have syria and salt asylum in more than 130 countries. and germany is one of those hosting the most. with near the a 1000000 syrians living there,
10:23 am
winds in chancellor angle and our polls, governments made that decision in 2015. the belief was germany could manage, but that's changed with the anti immigrants, a f. b party running 2nd in a put in post ahead of federal elections in february. a fears political debate is under way over whether suited refugees should leave and go back to their country. and that debate is also being had by refugees torn about what to do next. this be by 5050. if i say, i don't know, you need me here in germany, and i also think about might be by the also need be back home here in germany, there are enough skilled workers in syria, really, the country has to start from scratch. i don't know. germany is not alone. several you countries, including austria, sweden, greece, and another lives have decided to halt asylum applications. this decision impacting
10:24 am
tens of thousands of claims has been met by growing support across europe. some governments are pushing for strict are immigration controls, including deportations. move that's worrying the united nations. for now, germany has announced it will provide an additional $8000000.00 euros in humanitarian aid for syria, and will also increase its presence in the country. that meant to watch the should be using vision want to peaceful syria. the country started toward integrity must not be put to the question. i will say, just as clearly naples, such as the turkish of his really kaufman's which can security interest, must not endanger the process for their actions. a civilian government accepted by all sides can only be achieved if all minorities and political groups sit at the table where they can present the demands. this would be a long and probably walk away as the future of syria hangs of the balance. so does the fate of syrians who sought safety abroad for now they face an uncertain road
10:25 am
ahead. caught between hope of a better tomorrow, and the harsh realities of shifting a solemn policies across europe, dosage of, all right, i'll just 0. that's bringing this to them. causality now she joins us from how tight and take. yeah, that's the city on the syrian border. so a sudden we got another day we were expecting to see people crossing from turkey back into syria. well yes, the crossings continue every day since to kill from the gates for the voluntary return of a syrian refugees on the daily basis. we have been with the things around 60700 people crossing from jennifer gives a crossing into bubble. have off uh towards is that it was this figures compared to the number of the rest. the g isn't living in to care for the last 1112 years. these numbers are very low. you,
10:26 am
you don't see it. thousands of people are flocking to the borders because people are cautious. there are a few reasons for that. laura, 1st a true kit, it gives you a chance for a voluntary return, which means when you are returning to syria, you sign a document that you are not going to come back. that's why people think twice before making this decision. second, the people have settled their lives here, right? this is the middle of the year. uh, there will be a semester break. a people's children are going to school. it is not easy to squeeze old or live your to years up to spend and took it in a luggage and walk through. but through jim vegas it's about blah blah, and travel to olive or damascus. so especially for families, it is not easy. and other things, they are not sure what is going to happen there. yes, the 1st few weeks of deliberation from the syrian regime. it was joyful for
10:27 am
everyone, never celebratory. it showed things, etc, at. but now we are face to face with the reality. who is going to govern it? how are they going to govern? and these are, these are things that should be clarified and also people, when they return they, they require water, they require electricity, internet. so all this infrastructure facilities should be operating properly for people to, to be returned to return and live in proper places. yesterday, for instance, i was speaking to and, and your representative. and they have tremendous amounts of military and aid facilities. a works inside of syria. they have been touching all syrian refugees inside syria and entered. yeah, so we have this, so then he explained me after he traveled to the areas of the following deliberation. that in the areas that were controlled by the sir in virginia,
10:28 am
must solve government, but they have been all destroyed. yes, some parts of our level are the fine the my school is fine, but it, many people don't have a home to return. if they return from true kid to those places right now, they might be living in sense. that's what it says. watch and see. and then the thoughtful the scene for many of the syrians living in to kids. so they want to make sure the last day will return back in home is going to be better than turkey. yeah, a lot of people watching and waiting for them cause how many, many, thanks indeed for that update. the view in general assembly has passed a resolution demanding an immediate c spot, and garza member states held a special emergency session on palestine on wednesday. they also have voted in favor of a nation that supports the way i can view an agency if
10:29 am
a palestinian refugees condemning a new is randy law. that bondsville glass ation goes on to it has moved from the un in new york at an emergency special session of the un general assembly. an over whelming show of support by the majority of the nations of the world. 158 member states of the un voting in favor of a cease fire and gaza, notably italy and germany 2 countries that have previously abstained. those in favor of draft research and 159 voting to support and defend the u. n. release and works agency for palestinian refugees known as unreal israel is trying to destroy. while both resolutions are non binding, they send a powerful message. justice must be subbed and improving the t must and israel is continuing with the genocide. nevertheless, it is continuing to use this tabulation of,
10:30 am
i'm assuming and similarly ins is refundable. all guys that doesn't exist anymore. it is destroyed, palestinians that are facing hunger despair. and that we have studied before, histories, the harshest critic of connection and history is being written as we see here today . the votes here in the general assembly come a little over 2 weeks since the united states blocked a guy's a ceasefire. resolution in the security council. it was the 4th time the united states blocked a guys a cease fire resolution. that's something that was not lost on many member states. history filled, remember who failed to act on who's to do on the side of peace. the us again voted against both a ceasefire and the resolution supporting unrra. both of these resolutions have
10:31 am
significant problems. the one rewards from us and down place the need to release the hostages. and the other integrates israel without providing a path for to increasing humanitarian assistance to palestinian civilians. but the us stands almost alone after the vote, ambassadors, upper hand shakes and hugs, the palestinian envoys. a clear victory for palestine in the holes of diplomacy. gabriel's on 2 elders here at the united nations in new york. is there any attacks across golf that have killed at least $37.00 palestinians since don't on 1st day of an ice of joint striking the south of this trip kills at least 16 people, fontes and security personnel, or amongst the dead that we're delivering humanitarian aid. when that comes way was hit, the trucks are traveling between west and rafa and han eunice when they were tax. as a central golfer is ready strikes on homes and none of us are
10:32 am
a refugee camp killed that is 15 palestinians. these are the scenes with alex the hospital where he injured the bodies of the dead, which he can speak to honey about what he is. and darrow bala in the central garza . so how many these devastating strikes they are continuing? even as we're hearing, growing cold for a c spot, take us through what's been happening in the past few hours. the yes, well, despite the talks and all the, the positive by the people are feeling here about the talk to an cairo about a potential these far, which it is not happening right now. by the way. we don't see any sign of it happening. but we see it on the contrary, a surgeon the tax, the tax on buildings, the, the, the forcing people into more displacement as well as a talk on humanitarian aid of trucks. coming from dropbox, i'd refund you and is going to post
10:33 am
a route as over night attacks. deliberately targeted the calm voice of the human. it's unit trucks, particularly those who are made of the committees for him to secure the delivery of those the trucks to talk about volunteers or from the local communities as well as the security personnel. the attacks by drawing do miss those a drive that were fired on this a group of, of people who were securing the delivery of the trucks. let's do the killing of 16 people. but the aftermath of this is not only the killing of those who are securing the truck, but also it allowed looters to get at the bomb side and loot a close to 80 trucks. this active loading is happening while these really military is over, is seeing these trucks coming in from the crossings all the way through much needed a population. as the depletion in the market is exec, surveying on daily basis, making it very difficult for people with video cash in their hands to afford the
10:34 am
sky rocketing it prices and nowadays. so it's more of a, a double layer tragedy caused by, by this attack, the killing, as well as the depletion off basic solar resources in the market in a separate talk. this really monitor targeted a residential home and an asylum refugee camp work. a group of people that we were talking about at 3 families displaced families, including the owner of the residency itself. all the way from the northern guys are from a shudder review cabinet being displayed in this residential home for the past few months were killed in the top of over night. we're talking about the close to 50 and half of them, 7 children where among the casualties. and this is the same exact part of that we've been seeing over and over happening. women and children are making the vast majority of casualties for the northern part of this to engage the city,
10:35 am
mainly in one of the main areas. main street in kansas city. 7 more people were killed inside a residential building on a jetta street. all of this happening, while the news talks about a potential ceasefire. indeed, honey, enough was enjoying as the from central gauze a honey. thank you. so the head hair on alex's era, we gain access to one of the seriousness, torres, prisoners known as the palestine products. and you find steps on fits recruitment, try finds the only feels the pressure in the war against russia, the cold and cloudy sums up the weather across much of europe. at the moment. do you see a or too much in the way of white cloud, bright,
10:36 am
a white cloud was clad this way. you see the, the high clouds of 6, a cloud high pressure up towards the northwest. so that's keeping it central. but it, these are the causes, plenty of low cloud around and further south is all these areas of low pressure, especially we've got some pretty unsettled weather across a good positive year. at least this was cold here, but particularly warm ice. and we've got some wintry flowers down towards the southeast, just moving across the black sea into that ca, gifts gathering a showers in place across much of the mediterranean section in west a positive particular east. and there was a spite, seeing some heavier rainy, the south, southern positive spinal sustained, some live you shout with southern oath as you can see it as long as you drive yourself. so right into the veins and i suspect through the state of the drive, by the way, we will well down into single figures and it's low single figures at flat fraud. i says, west of weather coming into southern france, that same area pushing out from east to spite into the south of, from some slow towards the south of the country here what's, what's the weather there? you can see making his way back towards it least some of the weather will click the
10:37 am
font northwest of africa. mounts of north africa is dry with a few showers the coast to west africa. the latest news i did has more than 18000000 flo titles portfolio and also 1000000 . where does this sound like it's in this country? it's less than $200000.00 with detailed coverage for like this particular both products across different areas from the house of the story. this dependency activists say that in a world where in a quality of life, it could lease some feelings of pressure that the lives of simply too much of a button. unique perspective. we don't want to head to a world when we no longer have any private spaces on the internet. that's a scary well, on heard voices a year into this genocide, it still remains large ones, functions connect with our community and tap into conversations. you must be mind elsewhere, but humanity,
10:38 am
the number of people who want to stop sending weapons has gone up and up, despite what they hear in the mainstream media in the united states. the stream on out just the or the the color again you're watching out is there a has remind you about 12 stories this hour is where any attacks across going to have killed at least $37.00, palestinian since the one on the 1st day of an ice a drain strike in the south of the strip kills at least 16 people at target is a humanitarian age con, voice you in general assembly and foster resolution calling for an immediate cease fire, and garza number's also
