of the 66 volts spread out across the different areas from the house of the story disability activists say that in a well, we're in a quality of life. this could lead to some feeling the pressure that the lives of simply too much of a button. the serious new administration promises to uphold the role of little as a face is major challenges. shocking a cause for the countries future. the hello on the bulk of this is i will just say with life and also coming up with in the regime no longer in how are you are p and nations to bait the future of assuming refugees, the hosting we're now looking to close a hosted truly steel and a ceasefire. us national security advisor says

a ceasefire. deal and gossip is within reach as use rattling dishes, more death and destruction across the besieged stream. from south korea's present vows to fight to the end has the faces. the 2nd, the peaceful votes over his fail bid to impose marshall, who the leaders of the 7 leading economy. you say they're ready to support serious transition to an inclusive government. the u. s. u. k. fonts, germany, it's the kind of the japan say they are committed to upholding the companies, territorial integrity and unity and took as a category officials, when damascus adults with syria and leaders and ministration is promising to restore state institutions. and the rule of rule provide provide basic services such as the electricity, health care communication spot, major child inches lie ahead. and many syrians are still searching for relatives

and friends detained by the ousted aside regime. maybe 200000. i'm missing hundreds of people have paid tribute to activist mazda i'll. her mother became a symbol of the abuses and torture carried out in the regimes. prisons speaking to how to 0, the injury and prime minister re offend those guilty of war crimes. and human rights abuses will be held accountable. ok, let's uh, head straight to damascus now and speak to how to 0 is, i'm it vile. live in the syrian capital m, i made the syrians for several days now i've been getting their heads around this new reality if the country that's emerging. but what does it mean for ordinary life, particularly the and the capital of damascus. what do you have after those initial to hours and even a couple of days of totes on the shock at the speed with which the government,

the of the former regime has a crumbled and the people got sitting in public square both celebrated tons of so to look for their loved ones that i didn't personally send off to that situation. now there is a sense of normalcy slowly at coming box to the streets of damascus. people are all going about, it's out of jobs, go into the marketplace and doing the usual business. but also you still have different gases in the public square. they are still celebrating. and those are looking for the meet the loved ones, honest to also add on to prison, places and so on. so that situation hasn't yet been closed. as you mation, hundreds of thousands are missing and the trauma is going to take a long time to he and the, the primary goal of the new lead, as they say, is established justice and decide to help the nation him to have it with

many. so you're not even thinking about returning to the country or having or the return to be what challenges the dance does not oppose in the immediate believe that challenges they're going to face the same challenges about the government, the new government to be is going to deal with and these are the dealing with the lack of adequate infrastructure. busy many homes have been destroyed. millions of people have been displaced, both within an outside, syria, about 6000000 outside the country distributed between neighboring countries and european countries. 70000000 of the space within the country here. a total of the situation of loss entails for everyone. here so they have to come back, those of them who would like to come back, they have to come back to normal, syria and that has not yet to be in that she's the city and lead as anybody does

all still applying. so find a role with them off to what piece to was national recommendation to was the reconstruction, to was the big thing of the economy. add for millions of people who have lost their homes and the likelihood to be boxed so easy. so speed, it is not easy. we have seen in europe and countries talking about stopping asylum for the city as well. so you can, it's, they're asking them to go back to the country, which is a huge problem for those people. as even with these that come through here, many are inquiring what kind of life can they lead? price to know if they turn to the cities and villages and homes without preparations adequate preparations for about 3 times. and they all so many and nobles at the moment when it comes to to sylvia, mohammad fell in damascus. many thanks was mohammed who was mentioning this to his can take with ministration faces many challenges, including united nation. it's been a war from over 15 years. so to hold a report, some data, the birthplace of the uprising, the began in 2011,

finally led to the over to the charlotte. 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, 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. 3 of them that you'd like to use 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 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 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, and even you the religion of the neighbors, that 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 their else you as a, to the southern syria, a rough guys consult as the electra and peace and security at the time university new k. he joins us into i welcome back, rob. i want to talk about something. the national security advisor, the special security advisor, check sullivan has been talking about the at, during his visit to, to israel. he's been talking about this and should the now exist potentially, between us spiked forces. kurdish forces that are operating in syria and tucker, spiked opposition forces. so the s n f and the s n a. is that right?

i mean, clearly there's going to have to be a tremendous amount of diplomatic activity to diffuse those tensions between what are essentially 2 nato powers. it helps to even begin to do that. yes, that's right. it's very messy. the interaction between these 2 powers, the s b f, who code is primarily us back troops forces operating out of eastern syria and then the s n a, which is the theory national all me, which is a, basically a turkish proxy organization, operating out of nodes and syria and that organization itself is made up of at least 50 different militia groups. so this is very, very complicated, i think, to live in state. and it was interesting because that was this negative aspect. as he mentioned that, you know, they need to mediate between the asked the and the said that obviously while we're talking about the liberation of syria, there are 2 different functions who have both very powerful, very different visions of syria fighting one another. and that's, you know, one of the reasons i think white turkey is now getting involved to try media and

reach a ceasefire between the cf on the sunday. but there's also, i think some quotes brought to visit them and sort of been statement because previously, while the side regime was around, well, ice, this was very strong. well, i'll call you to was present in syria. there were a lot of organizations, the americans would say we will not talk to the med beyond the pale that terrorist and that autographs dictate is what have you, this new syria. i think it really shows you how the deck is being re shuffled and options are in play. now the us is based on the sites with prepared to talk to these organizations, including once we recognize the terrorist, including those like h d. s where the leader of mohammed al july and it has a 10000000 dollar bounty on his head. so it really shows you how his revolution is at re shuffling the deck and syria. and we just don't know how the ships were full yet. oh, so re shuffling the deck, squaring the circle. i mean, as all of this, just to league i suppose takes, takes shape at the moment. i mean, we have now intelligence chief,

some techie from cast descending on damascus to meet with the news, to be leadership. what do they bring to the table to think? i think what they bring is external clouts try and negotiate a safe spot between the cna and the c s. i think if turkey had its way, it would quite happily get rid of the c f and have the s and they do with the fighting for it. it knows it can't do that because the staff has washington backing them. there are 900 us troops and syria, many of whom basically all right, thing is human shields to stop the ticket submitted, terry from intervening more drastically more openly. so there is a need for the escalation, but at the same time it shows you, they're all different powers, including nato allies, took in the us who have very, very different interest in syria and by different groups with different visions of the country. so i think whilst everyone is celebrating the end of this saturday, and rightly so, we have to be very clear on that. there are so many security risk on the horizon.

the, all of this tool comes out of the united stable, okay, here in syria. sounds good, once you scratch the surface, what that means to everyone internally and outside of syria is very different. alright, well, good to hear your thoughts as always. well guys been folder. so the nice nation says to us, 13, the conflicts created the world's largest refugee crisis. a move of 14000000 students for some of our homes is 2011 half that number display. so in the countries board is where the you and says 70 percent of the population. these to monetary and aid and 90 percent lives below the poverty line. serious neighbors took year 11 on jordan, iraq and egypt post about 5 and a half 1000000 syrian refugees. another 1300000 syrians of re settled in europe. most of the, in germany, it's home to 850000, assuming refugees of the largest number and a non neighboring country. for now, european nations of debating the feud show off the syrian refugees of the hosting

and the respective countries. austria has announced plans to the pool the while the u. k. fronts, greece and germany have frozen or asylum applications. siri and asylum seekers are facing the tough choice now, between staying in the house country or turning home is still such a bar reports. you felician and really as one of the biggest communities of syrian refugees in germany learned the rule of pressure of a side has come to an end. millions of people have less syria and salt asylum in more than $130.00 countries. and germany is one of those hosting the most with near the 1000000 syrians living there. when vin chancellor angle and our poles government made that decision in 2015, the belief was germany could manage. but that's changed with the anti immigrant, a f, the party running 2nd in opinion, polls ahead of federal elections, the 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. that's me by 5050. if i say, i don't know if you need me here in germany, and i also think about might be, but they also need to 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, in germany is not alone. several you countries, including austria, sweden, greece, and another lives have decided to health asylum applications. this decision impacting tens of thousands of claims has been met by growing support across europe . some governments are pushing for stricter immigration controls, including deportations and 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. will also increase its presence in the country. that

meant to watch this feelings isn't 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 in the age of 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 ahead. caught between hope of a better tomorrow, and the harsh realities of shifting a solid policies across europe. doors, edge of all right, i'll just 0. that the

and central cause of funerals are being held for 15 members of the same family who killed and is there any attack? is there any man if he bombed a building shopping homeless, published in using the lazar at refuge account, families gathered outside the l. x. the hospital to move the loss of their relatives for the this is all situation and it snowed by everyone else. these riley's bobus, i'm kill us on a daily basis. under the pretext of defending themselves. these attacks kill and target defense. this kind of simian civilians face killing starvation and tara every day and nights in front of the entire world. the world is watching us being slow to live and i to drone strike on a cold void in the south of the strip code. at least 16 people volunteers are among

the dead security personnel fide into the as trying to push crowds away from the trunk. so full amount of time in a convoy of elusive recent months of hunger and desperation sprints trucks are traveling between western rough island, calling eunice, when there were times it's going to include reading new, joins us from darren father and central gaza. and he and what's the latest you were hearing in all the guns? well we just received news that there are new evacuation orders in the god, the city, and what we need to know about this is people from then there's during golf work list place to those areas. so now those policies in use need to back to wait another time. and as you see it's very dark right now and they do not have any place to go to. so people are at the end that are ending up of walking in the street without knowing where they would go or talking about $5000000.00 children mothers who have been already been evacuating,

being displaced for more than one time, and also from a place to another. so the fact that there's no lights and it's very dark without any electricity, and also the fact that there is no place they could to go to is at har, finding some kind of thing is are saying that they prefer to stay in their houses because we're afraid they go, they're going to still be targeted. now this all comes after, i'm sorry i missed the ongoing airstrikes and the another in gauze trip. in the past couple of hours come, i'd run has been as strikes belie the, it's where the forces i'm, this is not the 1st that sounds that takes place in the hospital. also there was a residential house that has been targeted for at least 2 policy needs. have been killed as above dozing and the blowing up of houses in those areas continue. and let me remind you about the another in gaza be divided between you and have been under as a siege for more than 70 days, where no food, walter or medicine have been entering that area. and. and so i understand that so

a time, which is a plumbing thing to somebody like 8 degrees centigrade. i mean, it looks really cold clearly where you already, i mean, how people coping with these harsh winter conditions, particularly given that many living intense people in the middle area are saving and makes if com. so we're talking about barrier per child tense because they have been displaced and moving with the same time for more than one time. most of the tests have holes. it's very windy at sewage is everywhere. walter is everywhere. are not only that. people have been displaced for more than 14 months, that were already left their houses without any of their warm clothes. they do not have any clothes, and that's what people are appealing and approaching. they're asking us for winter clothes. they're asking us for shoes for their children. and the same time, there is no types and no tents, and if those items were available,

people are unable to afford them because we're talking about a whole population that lots of other jobs. they do not have any source of income. and at the same time, there has been on an ongoing prices and i'm going struggling every single day to afford a food for your children to afford quotes for your children. so it's very hard, even when we're talking of with the father, isn't mothers. most of them are on a boat to get warm clothes to, to their children and they're saying that they're cutting each other at night to give themselves and their children a source of warm. right. but i see the picture in gaza right now can, who's we and do about 20. thanks. still a heads on i would just say around americas top, different matters in the middle east to discuss the transition in syria at the end of the war because of the

had a low that remains a split picture. weatherwise across south asia, we've got dry conditions across and we'll put down in the south. well as more heavy rain to come for southern parts of india and tra, lanka will see those thunder storms in colombo on saturday. the rain is not as heavy as close southern areas, but still some showers coming in that went to force for lanka across the north of india. well, it is a launch the dry picture for central areas as well and towards the northeast. so we are still seeing those watches out for cold watches attempt just slightly below the average and the fog and smoke issues it continue across the north of india and for park has done things remain largely cold across much of east asia. we've seen those when to re features a blow from northern china or across the korean peninsula with more rain, sleet, and snow coming into japan, snow showers are expected in north. you can see the west to weather, however,

by saturday, pulling largely out to sea will still have those wintery features for western areas of hon. shoot. but to west of that, for china, it is looking large. the care was settled, conditions, sunshine's, of beijing, and shanghai. it'd be more cloudy, however, in hong kong with a temperature coming down by sunday that she would have the the, the limit to how far the dream contains. study in your own adventure now counter and waives

the the talk you want, you know, just there is a mindful top stories that this our serious new administration has pledged to restores things, institutions and the rule of law and provide basic services. these are the well 7 leading economies say that ready to support a transition to an inclusive is there any forces of to northern causes? only orthopedic surgeon dumped a site to that was traveling in the ambulance with medical supplies. when the vehicle was funerals have been held for 15 members of the same family killed and they own the cetera refugee camp in central casa. you essentially have states as

ment, jordan's king in the red sea town of aka and the 1st off of a regional tool. the 2 sides discussed developments and gaza at 11 on and syria. lincoln said, jordan has a critical role to play and supporting the transition in neighboring syria and the, the us is working to build a unified approach in the region. he's now heading to turkey a well us national security advisor jake sullivans in israel would also visit catholic and egypt in the coming days. so we're back in the region at a time of both real promise, but also farrell, syria and for its neighbors. and the focus of our work here is to coordinate efforts across the region to support the syrian people as they transition away from massage brutal dictatorship. and what we're focused on is not choosing a path for syria, for making sure the syrian people have the opportunity to choose their prep for i

think to succeed. and to emerge from the task dominated by a saw. any transitional government has to adhere to certain basic principles. it should be inclusive, non secretary, it's got to uphold, protect the rights of all serious minorities, including women. we have to make sure that any and from government also make sure that series not use a base for tears. scrum is and poses a threat to its neighbors or alive with groups like ices. and us national security advisor jake sullivan, met with prime minister benjamin netanyahu in tel aviv. he said the conditions of being met for possible cease fire and goes it is also of course relevant that is reels, ability to meet so many of its military objectives in gaza is

relevant to the negotiation to including the elimination of the top leader send war other authors of that october 7th massacre and the dismantled methodist destruction of the organized military formations of my. so these are relevant considerations that we think have put this onto a plane where it could get done. whether it does get done a wireless speak to my kind of washington dc on the significant subject sullivan, so words and visits a and monica. it seems like there was a sense of urgency, particularly given one and ministrations on his way out. another one is on his way and when it comes to a dealing gaza, particularly as they see by the time and situation that deteriorates. yes, i'd like to pick up on one would that jake sullivan use the word elimination? what he's saying is that what he calls, the illumination of seeing, you know, how much lead is, has helped put the cx 5 talks back on the plane. he's also saying that the living

on agreement that was signed a few weeks ago as also to the diplomatic space to as all, possibly full an agreement to happen. so the us now involved in a push this administration wanting to get a c 5 deal in place before it stands down. come january, the 20th. it has its, uh, it national security adviser in the region, the secretary of state, as you saw. so this is a major push. now what we are hearing that from the national security adviser is a change in circumstances that may allow for a, a agreement to be put in place. he mentions the release of those being held captive by a boss in gaza. what he does not mention in that news conference is the palestinians being held and his really prisons, whose release would be a part of any sci fi deal. should it be reached? well, sullivan is going from is, well, he's going on to cut up for adults. the and then he will be going to cairo for

talks in cairo. so this is an extended push, and it must be noted as well that while he's being and is for at least met with all the senior is really leaders, including the head ocean, beth, the head of both sides. and of course, prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he was us directly with an engineer. 4 who is actually waiting for donald trump to come in to paula. he said, no, he believes the prime minister wants to get the deal in place as soon as possible. like if i big questions about how the us, um, article is israel navigates the new reality, taking shape and serial as well. very much. so he, the national security advisor made clear that the us is not going to con demo. even criticize israel is pull right into occupied territory in syria as saying that it is logical as he puts it and he claims it is temporary. so the is really action in the wake of what's being happening in syria condemned by the us and then many of

the international bodies. it's as far as us is concerned as part of what it sees israel's right to self defense. so although the us has now attempting to balance out its various interests with regard to syria, it's ongoing total support of israel remains intact and in place. otherwise, mike, many thanks, mike, kind of wished to dc. nobody yourself career as president you. so your has promised a fight to the end to avoid impeachment in a televised address, the boss of the that provided the 1st account, yet of a short lived the declaration of martial lo, last week to go through the country and the political term, or what we're bryce has more from so with demonstrates is holding nicely, protest cooling for him to go on police trying to gain access to searches offices president to use took jo is looking increasingly believe good within the lengthiest

defense. yet to vision position of marshall. he's denied charges of insurrection. if you want to to join daniel. i earnestly pleased with you to come together to defend south korea and our democracy, which has been defended with blood and sweat on. we'll fight until the end, when he 1st declared marshal lloyd last week, you and said he was acting in part against pro north korean fractions. and thursday's address president, you went further detailing how no career he maintained had hacked into south korean computers to undermine its elections. and he was left with no choice but to take action to defend democratic institutions here use survived and impeachment vote.
