which i'm going to cause a total of a script should have your time see reports. us secretary of state met with the target president in ankara at a delicate moment on wednesday us back to kurdish forces. so they agreed to a cease fire with truck is you back, sykes is in syria. could sofas minutes of region in the countries northeast have come under attack in the immediate aftermath of the sides for helpful and talks with the jordanian king and uncle blinking set. the goal of his trip to the region was to calm the different factions who now seek to benefit from the full of the serial regime. i think across the board when it comes to any actors who have real interest in syria. it's also really important that this time that we all try to make sure that we're not sparking any additional template. however, blinking play down the on doing is really innovation and amex ation of portions of syria currently on the way when it comes to actions that is real estate. and the

stated purpose of those actions is to try to make sure that equipment is good, advantage terrace extremes, etc. but we'll be talking and we've already talked to others about the way it has back up the white house national security specs on june koby insisted that in keeping with lincoln's message to regional pals to stay out of the serial power vacuum, the us will stick to it stated mission of fighting i. so us military presence in the, in syria is predominantly in the east and is designed solely to help us with the counter isis mission. and we're working with the syrian democratic forces to that. and that's why they're there. and that's the only reason that they're, they're the us in the system. it's only which is for an inclusive serial of transition to an accountable and representative government that poses no threat to

its neighbors. she every time see algae 0 as real as, as soldiers, all protecting civilians by operating in the golan heights buffer zone and 70 and territory. and the stipends prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the collapse of us as regime created a vacuum on israel's border, is also confirmed. his troops have taken control of what he called strategic sites in syria. ascending observatory for human rights says it's really soldiers have seized farmers sitting on the positions on mount hamlin. it's the highest peak and syria of 2800 meters. it's also just 40 kilometers from the capital. it was capture of key military sites, puts damascus within range of its r tillery, the mountain provides views of 3 countries, israel, lebanon, and syria positions there with a lot of, it's very trips to monitor, has bought a strong holds and eastern 11 on, and conduct surveillance in syria, analysts say a previous blind spot and is really radars would be closed with the latest advances

. in addition to moving troops into the buffer zone, israel's being carrying i'd strikes across sylvia. since the outside raising fell, united nations has condemned israel's actions. the secretary general spokesman told obviously it is gabriel alexander, that a violation of city is territorial integrity and sovereignty to you and says one point. 1000000 people are newly displaced across syria, since opposition forces began their offensive in late november to our the side regime. the u. n says they've delivered food assistance to about 700000 people, but is real as continued a tax on syria are making the situation dangerous. the secretary general is deeply concerned by the resend, an extensive violations of serious sovereignty and territorial integrity. the secretary journalist, particularly concerned over the hundreds of is really air strikes on several

locations in syria, stressing the need the urgent need to de escalate violence on all fronts throughout the country. israel is claiming that the reason they're continuing this strikes on syria is to prevent weapons getting in the wrong hands. is that any sort of justification for their continued attacks on syria? look, a lot of countries give justification for violating the sovereignty of others. what is clear is that we are concerned about these repeated violations of a serious sovereignty, sort of serious territorial integrity. at this point, syria needs support from its neighbors in order to move towards a, a form of governance that is inclusive, that is democratic, that protects the rights of, of minorities. it is also imperative that those in control in syria ensure that all of all weapons and everything comes under control and is not open to looting or

disappearance. and to be clear, the secretary general's message to israel right now is stop the attacks on syria. that's correct. and to other countries that may also be using this opportunity. the situation along that is real syria border remains of vala tile as well as is really forces to continue to operate beyond the buffer zone that is monitored by the un disengagement observer force known as and off. that to is something that you and officials are concerned and watching closely. and the security council received a closed door briefing about that place on thursday gabriel's onto, i'll just see it at united nations in new york stevenson. this is a professor of politics at the university of san francisco is also find the chair of the university's middle eastern studies program. it says, israel is taking advantage of serious vulnerability. one can argue about whether

the israel should bomb weapons facilities. i could get into the wrong hands as a se, but the grist the ground invasion has no logic to it whatsoever. no strategic ration now. i mean, this is clearly taking advantage of the fact that syria is not in a position to defend themselves in more with the most the, they're in the navy and air force destroyed over the leadership and an influx with the government trying to desperately all things together. that seem to be the perfect opportunity for further expansion as an already there are um, uh tweets from is really is looking forward to building a ski resort on mount herman. and yeah, and, and he just started and talking about the holding onto this area for an extended period. i mean, they clearly feel that he can get away with this, especially since the united states has defied the united nations security council and others, by recognizing israel's illegal acts ation of the territory they already held. and

with an even more strident pro israel administration about to come in, perhaps they feel they can get away with expanding even further. i saw many members of sizes of missing syrians as searching for relatives believed are being held in prisons run by the outside regime. so i'm gonna be looking through id cards, sky side, across the nets, the air based in the capital damascus mets. it also served as a detention center since 2011, about a $157.00 fighters and people have disappeared after being taken to prison. that's according to estimates, but the city in network for human rights, the newest member of our based group. i have 3 missing people, but i didn't find anything at all. we just want a hint of where they are one percent. and now they're saying they've released the prisoners, but we haven't seen anything. i went to said not a prison 3 or 4 times in the end. we lost hope and came here. and they told us their presence on the ground, but no one is showing us where they are. if someone had

a device to show where they might be, there are people underground and no one can get out. the front is 33 people, including children, have been killed, and it is really as striking, central guise. at least 50 people have been injured to attack targeted homes and the album instead of the treasury g camp. civil defense teams have been pulling victims from the rubble fi. uh, definitely and, well, how about i don't know how about when these ready, occupation bombs, people in their houses. what do you expect them to do that those injuries are very deep and great about some people are even amputated and the 4 people arrive after losing parts of their body. some of the occupation is violating all who monitoring laws and the keep targeting civilians. finance estimate and then or is there any forces of charles in northern gauze? only orthopedic surgeon, dr. sage alder, was travelling in an ambulance with medical supplies between the cum allowed one

and all the hospitals in his rage on open fire on the vehicle. this video shows the doctor pronouncing the death of his nephew in november, palestinian media reports as 24 year old son was also killed last week, or trying to rescue trapped family members. is there any troops have repeatedly attacked doctors and health care workers and johnson canning more than a $1000.00? and since october last year, according to guys, as administrative health soldiers have detained, at least 350 others, united nations. it says there's really forces of attract healthcare facilities more than $1100.00 times in just over the year. and the frequent attacks mean hospitals in gaza have almost no medical supplies become allowed. one hospital has hardly any sterilization materials. both i'll colutus and baseless care with more and the vision, dental and vision in the hospital has lived to us to be was mean if it 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 cost of the subdivision devices has live to the patient conditions and instructions infection in the patients. the devices will vision towards the us here to use to the lies in please the stools here. as you can clearly see the big cia, and this will come in at one to send a patient system and come all the hospitals all to forward there. we need to sterilize goes in gloves and other tools, but we cannot. now we have run out of these things. patients rooms are open and you

quite clean and sterilize 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 business to be due to the this severe medical supplies and these television devices which is affected by the homepage to the amount of special israel is issued, new force displacement orders in northern garza in countries and dental bhalla with more 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 you know, some of the neighborhood and these are in the heart of the gospel city. 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 handling, we're actually displaced in those areas. so now how does the news are forced to evacuate at night? taking what's left of their belongings after being most definitely just place 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 wherever 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 that 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. you'd where the he

was, the only are the products doctor in the another and cause true. now this is not only that, but also a residential has in a giovanni. and this was also targeted to where at least 2 palestinians have been killed. and it's not only but continuous ongoing airstrikes but also the fact that it's very cold policy news do not have any source of war. they do not have any winter clothes. the tarps and tents are available and todd us in use, are also witnessing lots of medicine where most of the policy needs have a cold and sue and they are on able to receive any kind of medication is adding more missouri to the live of college. and use the situation is collapsing on all aspects of life and especially the humanitarian and the house situation and the odyssey to that and but of cause a policy. i'm still ahead and i'll just see the presidential biden's final decisions in the us white house. it's the largest active clemency in

a single day in modern us history. our problems in bangladesh deal with an indian energy giant is under scrutiny as the engine room, government, and duck us struggles to keep the lights on the color that should be some improvements in the weather across california. as we go through the next couple of days, hope be helping with those wall 5 cloud ad, right? perhaps a little bit of snow as well. so things should turn more favorable in terms of those poor conditions. uh, not particularly good weather, but as far as the padding that certainly will help just pushing tools the west coast at present central air is 3 in this area of high pressure here real tongue of coal where it's really cold and sliding. so i'm going to take minus 40 degrees

celsius as part of 30 degrees or more warm down to what was that se? let's go to went out. so as we go through the next couple of days, look at the temperatures, thoughts rise, me getting up to minus 4 in winnipeg by sunday. notice that the taisha whether but that's it could do better than minus 14. so it's $24.00 to $4.00 faced. and so a lot of the drive by the variance are good parts of north america. just move out of the way. you can see that weather coming in across the pacific northwest when the weather too. and some snow and have a slide is way down across a good part of california. so as i said that hopefully helping with those well for the future, i was to just across the central of the southern plains, a few showers to into the caravans. so what it wasn't that for believes and also hunters, the in october 2023. these raising ministry of intelligence proposed the forcible and

permanent transfer of palestinians from because the street, the people in power, those into the history of the amount of spinning and displacement. and explores whether appearing palestinians from, because uh, in the occupied west bank is, is ready to transfer on and just the, [000:00:00;00] the new ones you know, just need a reminder of our top stories. this are us. i can do straight on any blinking as i took his present, missouri zip tie. i found one on the agenda, the future of syria. both sides say they want

a smooth transition of syrian political power. at least 33 people, including children, have been killed. and then as many as like in central gas and at least 50 people have been injured to tax talking to the house and the own, send a truck to g on saturday. politicians in georgia are to hold a presidential election. and for the 1st time in the country's history, the public will not be involved and there's only one candidate. the votes expect it to further anger opposition supporters. we've been holding nightly street protests for more than 2 weeks against the sitting government. and it comes just a day after the us and ends is going to restrict the visas for around 20 people. they consider to be undermining democracy in georgia, including government ministers between men of income explains from placing georgia's government is preparing to elect a new president. even as protest as are demanding

a rerun of parliamentary elections held in october. and this time, the public won't be voting. following changes to the constitution in 2017 candidates ought to be elected by committee of 300 government officials, politicians, and regional authorities. and this committee is controlled by the governing jordan dream party. something that's further angry, and people say the last election was rigged with the help of russia. presidential should be elected, advise the people in the, to elected by colleagues. so you know it, so it's not the way that he's my pleasure. you too much because he's elected by non legitimate government. and now there's some, a title. i mean, we are inside the courtyard of the georgian parliament, is quite the fortress here. behind these layers of reinforced gates and barricades, this is where the 10s of thousands of protesters gather every night. and opposition policies have refused to take the seats in these holes since the october 26th election. because there was such a significant difference between the official results that to 8 percent exit polls,

which gave them over 50 percent. so they're not taking part in this presidential election. and there's only one candidates, is his name is mikhail calculus to be a former striker for george's national football team. also briefly played in the premier league in the 1990s. he's been a politician for the past day. he is not shying away from a broil and pushing forward a controversial for an agents low in may that lead to talks with you on georgia joining the block being frozen. the country is richest man and honorary chairman of the georgia dream party that so you know, you've obviously picked him up before the post talk using some of the on the bottom of the fair. and it's patriotism and loyalty to principles are the qualities that distinctly defined. mikhail, kevin, i believe he represents the finest embodiment of the georgian man. opposition. leaders see calculus really in a different light. the only thing she has on his pipe uh football. she has no

experience and no education and nothing that connects into i don't know to diplomacy or international relations and likely opposition. outgoing. president solomon's that obviously has called george's government illegitimate. she said that she will not leave her post when have time expires at the end of a month and has cold for the west to impose sanctions against the government. as georgia, dream titans, it's great on the country's political system. opposition. parties say they will continue supporting, is that obviously as the legitimate president, even if she's forced into exile dmitri method and go out to 0 to really see us as a non some additional $500000000.00 military, a package from ukraine, secretary of state on to the bank and says to deal includes new types of immunization, rocket launchers, and unmanned aerial drones. it comes days after the department of defense that are nearly a $1000000000.00 and security aids to help ukraine bowls to its combat power. since

russia invaded in 2022, washington has provided over $62000000000.00 in a to keep as i'm going you, as president joe biden has committed the sentences of nearly $1500.00 people in the biggest single day active clemency in modern us. history is also pardoned $159.00 americans convicted of non violent crimes. vitamin said he would be taking most eggs in the weeks ahead. the move comes just a week after a controversial part and by the president, which was handed out to his son hunter barton was facing sentencing. after being convicted of tax, i'm gun charges. melanie sloane is a former federal prosecutor with expertise and government ethics, and she says it's common practice for the president to issue, parton's as they complete their 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 you would have done it any way because presidents very typically start issuing

a lot of partners towards the end of their terms and around the holiday season. and in there's a lot of questions about obviously the 100 biden's hardened, especially how brought it was they've pardon hunter for not just the specific things he 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 bide, and then keep going after him and 100 biden is known to be 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, i think 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 magazine. he said he would be pardoning them, i think not just within the 1st hour, but maybe even in the 1st 9 minutes. donald trump is being named time magazines person of the year, and he also received the title in 2016 when he was 1st elected to the white house. as in the announcement was made to trump was that the new york stock exchange to ring the opening trading bell since 1927 time magazine has recognized a person or movement that quote, for better or for worse, as done the most influenced by events, theater are around the same size and language, so rushing to arrive in the united states before the integration of president elect trump, mostly from venezuela, 100 us heidi and cuba. they set off in the southern mexican border of catholic school up there making the journey despite some promise of deportations on a crack done on immigration,

many of the migrant say they were forced to leave their countries due to political crises and economic hardship. i ask republican president, donald trump, to think with his heart because he also has assemblies. and if we are only going in search of work and to show him who we've been, it's where things are hard work and people just look up and say, i want to not them 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 home during government, from our basic food is the most expensive in central america. you can't survive anymore. they were more than 430000 people had been murdered since mexico, so called war on drugs began in 20 o 6, thursday, march the country's most important religious holiday. and the catholic church is hoping is going to inspire an end to the violence. john home and reports from

mexico city of the pilgrims and mexico who won't run in some crude them, and they used to get here the church dedicated to the virgin 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 criminal groups. if we're not so big can no, no my secretary, it's a plea for no more blood chip between brothers fathers and sons, mothers and daughters. no more blood between mexicans and less than americans. many of those who have seen the consequences of that blood should not be here every day . we hear about a long list of things, kidnappings, everywhere. and so we trust and our lady of guadalupe to help us because that's all we have left. all the violence that we see is out of our control. there's been no public response from mexico's criminal organizations to the codes for the troops. 6

this country may be strongly catholic for the church. he who struggled even to protect drugs. since the start of the social war and drugs in 2006, mexico has become one of the most dangerous countries in the world to pres. 46 of them have been killed since the muscle petty's was the last a ceaseless of the cook, the social justice in chuck, the south mexico. on the i asked him, us will tell a white pre sabine, killed the foot 1st lead, send a strong signal. if i can kill a priest, i can kill anyone. secondly, when a priest is killed, doesn't just kill one person. because the community and it leaves the community or friends about greece and not the only profession at risk. of course, so many of those among the move, the full $100000.00 mode in a country in which religious fervor, beauty communities, a risk messic has co exist. joan holeman,

which is either mexico city that or calls for a bangladesh energy deal to be scrapped. it was agreed to between india's dining group and the former government of shakes. i've seen that she fled to new delhi after being ousted from bangladesh of your charge. right, has more from the bottom of the ocean folks, nearly 10 percent off, it's electricity from india. most of it is supplied by the mountain. national identity group under 25 year purchase agreement, signed in 2017 is. but some believe bangladesh been ripped off the agreement is unfair, and equipped, it did not protect the interest of bangladesh. so i want the government to renegotiate the town suite fair, a quote, and that oppose the national interest of bundle this. if other he does not agree to it, let's cancel the agreement as a whole. to protect the interest of the energy costs are rising and growing demand

due to the expanding economy is hard and consumers there are frequent power cuts, the spike paying high terrace. what happens to the electricity we're importing from india? where does it go? that's my question to the government. the india bangladesh power data was signed in 2017 by prime minister check casino, who was off the during mess demonstration, early of this year. but bangladesh is current energy advisor phase. the arrangement was unnecessary of the country can make its power needs domestically. and the high cost of important energy is draining the government's resources. this part of the that we have a backyard. i have with high data, for example, i need says 50 percent higher than the average consumer debt is paid by people to as a result of this new project and on any part of you. and also this of the project
