if you've had meetings between the tax and, and some european states as well, and the turkish intelligence chief in damascus, talking about, you know, the way forward to trying to establish things and lines of communications. whereas techie, which has been up for the long this time trying to seek some sort of a solution. but it's, it's board is the secure rate, can send millions of refugees back and find some sort of a stability seems to have problems. a thought that it can talk to remember that for the last year and a half that he had been trying to talk to ron du rusher to indirectly, to be trying to decide this value to try and solve these differences. but now event gilani is in power. they have a pump method they can talk to. so us very of different method activity. and on top of that, after years techie has also a pointed, it's 1st a diplomat here to damascus in the capital. and that sick also sick lives that is going to be strengthening of not just a minute fee ties,

but also diplomatic ties. so there's long standing issues, whether it's the border from the north, towards the west, and part of the do of syria. also to do deal with invo, add the refugees, as well as trying to think of charge of a charge path forward. but it can have influence, not just the rely on the border forces. so the political skills, the branch present in damascus, also known as of husband torres for abusing it states the detainees. out is there a correspondence around he was previously detained, recounted his experience in solitary confinement, and spoke to other form of detainees. so why are you, hey, with your family? you know, i'm with my family so they can see where i was health and torture. despite not committing any crime or doing anything against the law and the security forces arrested me while i was walking in the street and brought me here for you to beat

to start investigation of somebody to smoke. they asked what my full name and my family, and why i was broke there. they said a police and dotius insult scroll the time. oh my god, this was the plastic rock which the investigator used to beat me this this one is number 14 where i was held for 40 days and the to that could come up here. i've seen the worst moments of my entire life years and heavy. i used to always come to this whole just a brief update and my neighbor in the other cell was always in pain and it's difficult way of breathing used to hurt me and used to break my heart. i'm sure so many people have been here in this solitary confinement. so for 13 years,

a civil war in sanctions areas, new administration is in everything a health system. they collapse the united nations as mold and half of the country's hospitals. and primary kind of centers have been destroyed. many doctors and nurses affect the country leaving a major shortage. talked uh methodology and hes an own colleges done president of the syrian american medical association. he spoke to us about some of the challenges that you are operating in the northwest of syria in the area and outside the government control area. we have been operating there for many years. we had a lot of challenges, but we were able to advance medical treatments and a very big way because we had many of our doctors in the united states were able to volunteer and help in train and educate to and actually create their, you know, teaching programs fellowship programs residency programs to treat them to the

doctors up there in the northwest. we also have the software and the problem of lack of very good medical facilities because of the lack of infrastructure for many years. we have suffered from continued the tax on hospitalization, funding, and some continued war it. hospitalization, northwest are probably providing better services from the hospitals under the government controlled area. first of all, the hospitals were free of to everybody. so the cost was not major issue. but we actually converted many hospitals, there from field hospitals from uh, you know, office buildings uh like, uh, the, the custom building at the border we converted into to a hospital. so many of these hospitals did not struck as a hospital, but started as different buildings converted to a hospital like the central hospital. and it was basically the government official government building there. even in the size of challenges,

millions of syrians are hopeful of a new beginnings of that country. following the full, all the said regime, many have started cleaning the neighborhood streets. one of the time, no collision met with some of them in the capital of damascus. so we are here in one of the neighborhoods in the city of damascus, and actually actually by chance we seen a group of volunteer re young men and do women who started an initiative, a voluntary initiative in the city of damascus. we've talked to those young men and women and they told us that this is their time and they are going to take the initiative and start we building syria from scratch and we build a new syria away from the previous regime. and actually they also expressed a massive home will to um, to change the the previous pastor and to be more active in the community,

especially after the latest developments. yeah, i mean more about that, i had someone with a sought out this initiative aids at cleaning our streets because we want our towns and cities to look nice. we got rid of the old regime and its actions and we will work hard to develop the country and improve its image. this initiative will be followed by other initiatives and our country will be more beautiful and safe by the genre. the most of my biological science students at damascus university, i found out about this initiative to instagram. we want to clean up our streets and make them look as good as possible. so we came together to achieve something useful for our community. this initiative is currently ongoing in different neighborhoods in the city of damascus, amid the huge shortage in basic and the such as these. however, they told us that this is our time a now we are, we are the responsible for building a new syria and we will take that burden on our shoulder for

a brighter series for all series. this was not going to wash for our just euro from damascus. the at least 30 people are being killed and is ready. as striking central gauze of the children are amongst the dead, at least 50 have been injured. they attacked talk to the homes and understood refugee come. civil defense teams have been pulling victims from the rubble fee. uh definitely. how about how about when these ready occupation funds people in their houses? what do you expect them to do? those injuries are very deep and grave about some people are even amputated for people to arrive after losing parts of their bodies. and mobility occupation is violating all humanitarian laws and the keep targeting civilians for an entrance to making them or hospitals and golf sort of sizes, visual digit, medical supplies of the come all odd one hospital like it's double as ation materials is adding to and where the dies situation met with all color. there's in

beth law here with moles. this constitute vision, dental and vision in the hospice and has led to us of the wall street and the conditions for the patients talking to or from the hospital, which is the only function in health facility, which is all the patients in this situation here. this is costs of the subdivision devices has led to the patient conditions and instructions, the scripting, infection and decisions. the disturbing devices will force the workers here to use the 2 ways to live in clean the stools here. as you can clearly see in the big cha,

91 to send a patient system and come all the hospitals out afford there. we need to sterilize goals and gloves and other tools, but we cannot. now we have run out of these things. patients boons are open and you quite clean and sterilized materials. we work with our hands, they're suffering from a shortage of water. no one is able to wash their hands and does great. it has affected our work to the business line to be it was due to the this severe medical supplies and these television devices which is affected by the homepage to the amount of the drive schedule as well as issued new full displacement orders in northern gauze, pin code 3 isn't 0 by a in central cause that was moved. we just got a new update from the gospel city where that is ready for says issued new

evacuation orders to policy and use it as remind neighborhoods and also in the neighborhood. and these are in the heart of the gulf of cities and what we need to know about these areas where that most of the policy is living in the northern parts of the gaza strip divided by today you'll be tenuous. we're actually displaced in those areas. so now hottest in use are forced to evacuate at night, taking what's left of their belongings after being most of the displays multiple times from different areas. and they actually do not have any. so where to go, there's no way they can find any place to go right now in this surprising evacuation orders. but palestinians have been mazda, 3 displaced multiple times. they say, that's where every they go. they're still going to be targeted across the gaza strip and all of this is glowing on l. a. mid the ongoing airstrikes. those are

taking place in the another in gaza strip where the is where the forces continue to talk at commodities. one hospital, the only operating hospital and earlier today they killed dr. so are you where the he was the only are the projects doctor in the another in golf trip. now this is not only that, but also a residential has in a job by the end. this now was also targeted to where at least 2 palestinians have been it kills. and it's not only but continuous ongoing airstrikes, but also the fact that it's very cold policy and use do not have any source of war . they do not have any winter clothes. the tarps and tents are available and taught us in use are also witnessing lots of medicine where most of the policies have a cold and flu and they are unable to receive any kind of medication is adding more missouri to the live of policy news. the situation is collapsing on all

aspects of life and especially the human to terriers and the house situation and the odyssey to that. but of cause a policy, i'm still head here on out as the president j biden's, final decisions in the white house. the largest single day active clemency in modern us history, plus vine to fight to the in the south korean president with easy to step down as a 2nd impeachment votes lose the the hello. it's looking rather stormy. across northern east and west and parts of australia. a massive storms just coming in. right across a good pos of us. but for central average we've got a ton of high pressure easing out to the bytes and that is keeping us settled. add boys, it going to get hot,

rudy. pretty hot. so you now sit around 40 degrees celsius, melbourne, just 23 degrees celsius. why you'll see a big change as we go once through the course of the week. i'm so getting up to 30 for you and i have a light by the time we come to saturday. touch is 40 degrees full rest sunday and we'll see a faulty in melbourne for monday. often. they say something like a 17th degree rising temperatures by that state that brookfield interior window really setting in for the red center. we also got to see these plastic warming up into these 8 and for a time and type of just pulling away a moment. and the said for much of us destroy, i'm fine. show us the top of the way, the top hand maybe tools that are used to sort of queensland fund to be down pools shots of a few shells gradually pushing into the south solid. and these in the city, these storms may, through was the time of just just folding back and cross just to around 24 degrees cabbages on the slide to across a good positive japan. most smoke coming in as we go through this weekend of

the south korea's working population is dwindling. and ford employees have become crucial to the country's economy. but many are variable to exploitation and dangerous conditions. 11 east itself could be as migrant workers. on l g 0, the challenges era within the, [000:00:00;00]

the book about 2 or 3 of us that would be so rob, move on to of on told stories you a secretary stays on the blinking as met with the turkish presidential type. i would want to discuss developments in syria of the 2 countries. boy shared interest in these 3 legs own political transition, the at least the, the people living failed and it's really as driving. so 2008 shows the test, at least 50 people have been in the just the attack talk to the house of the misfits for future we. there's really a touch on goal is a continuing on the question of what happens next in syria having to go over the region. there's a renewed us diplomatic push to try and bring stability. now as we've mentioned, secretary of state and state blinking is in the middle east. meanwhile, the want to have special security advisor drake sullivan is in tennessee and has met with these very prime minister benjamin netanyahu. my kind of has the details

to another us meeting with the israeli prime minister, the national security advisor pushing for an agreement to secure the release of captives in gaza. arguing that recent events have made a resolution more likely, including he says, these radius destination of senior hamas leaders. i do believe the seas for and lab and on has generated a different context. actually believe that the loss of iran's clients state in syria has contributed to that different context. israel's military progress against a mazda is infrastructure formations and senior leaders has contributed to that context. despite the smiles as no public mention of a critical part of the negotiations, is really agreement to release the palestinians from its presence over the boat in jordan. another problem of us diplomacy. the secretary of state is intent on formulating a common position to the transitional government in serbia. also make sure that the

series not use a base for carriers extremism and poses a threat to its neighbors or alive with groups like ices. jordan is a critical path and then the coalition against deisel as is to key a also and entering the blinking site to integrate an agreement to and don't post a conflicting gaza, keeping a lid on tensions and 11 on ensuring a democratic transition in syria. all this while maintaining support for israel, even as the country continues to strike targets in syria. it's a lot of goals to juggle as a biden administration is it's and, and another resident prepares to move in my, kinda, i'll just say era, washington are doing yours present. joe biden has committed these sentences of maybe 1500 people in the biggest single day active time, and see and welcome us history. he's also a part inside the united americans convicted of non violent crimes,

but said that he would be taking most steps in the weeks ahead. but despite the historic number, the move has been to have a shadow by j biden's decision last week to park. and his son, hunter bivens, was facing sentencing, after being convicted of tax and gun charges. natalie sloane is a former federal prosecutor with expertise and government ethics. she says it's common practice for a president to issue pauses as a completes. that times there was a lot of pressure on president biden after pardoning hunter bite into pardon and use his clemency powers for other people. and he did that and probably he would've done it any way because presidents very typically start issuing a lot of pardons towards the end of their terms and around the holiday season. and in there's a lot of questions about obviously the 100 biden hardens, especially how brought it was they've pardon hunter for not just the specific things you've been convicted of by for anything he might have done in a 10 year period. and president biden did that. it seems largely because uh

president trump has threatened to keep investigating hunter by it and then keep going after him and 100 brighton is known to be a more fragile person. he's had addiction problems. president biden already has also lost 2 other children in the, in a 2 at early ages. and that has been very stressful for him as it would be for any parent. and i think he's been very worried about hunter. so all things considered any that's why he part, pardon hunter, now. uh, president trump has added some of the republicans have use that as a reason to pardon the people from january 6th. but it was really a matter of apples and oranges trumpet. talked about pardoning those people really since they started being convicted, he's always felt that they were unfairly treated in his interview with time. was he and he said he would be pardoning them. i think not just within the 1st hour, but maybe even in the 1st 9 minutes. follow trump is the name time magazine puzzle of the you also receive the toddler in 2016 when he was 1st elected to the one time

. so as the announcement was made from the new york stock exchange to bring the opening bell for the 1st time as president elect since 1927 time magazine has recognized a pass nor movement that we quote, for better or worse, has done the most to influence the events of the surround, $3000.00 bibles are rushing to arrive in the united states, be sold in organization, the president to like trump, mostly from venezuela, home germans, hate, and cuba. they set up from the southern mexican border city of culture, less than making the journey in spite of trumps promise of deportations that upfront down on integration. as soon as he takes office, the i ask republican president, donald trump, to think with his heart because he also has assemblies and we are only going in search of work and to show him who even his words are hard work and people just out of the wound up and say, i want to not him if i use,

i never thought i would leave my country. i never had the american dream, but i was forced by the situation at this moment because of the on during government. our basic food is the most expensive in central america. you can't survive anymore. it makes it a mold in full $130000.00 people to be met. and since the cycled war on drugs began in 2006, 1st a box, the country's most important religious holiday. and the catholic church is hoping it will help in spine and to the violence. john, hold and report. so from mexico city, pilgrims and mexico who won't run in some crude them, that needs to get here. the church dedicated to the budget of guadalupe debates coach painted sites on her date, the 12th december. it's the most important event in the catholic calendar. this year the church has used it to cool for truce between the countries war in
