major challenges with serious do administration as it has inherited a health system near collapse. the u. n says more than half of the hospitals and primary care centers have been destroyed. north dakota, more centrals, this update from the main hospital in hama. we are here in the national hospital and the city of how much is one of the major hospitals here in the city. and as you can see now around me, those who are currently coming to the hospital or currently receiving their medical services and health care services, we've talked to the doctors and the step of the hospital as they told us that they have joined their ward says, day you want and they have spared no effort in effort in providing the health care services and medical services to the patients. however, they also told us that they all have they have some shortage in the basic necessities of the consumables in the hospital. and they hooked up,
9:10 pm
it's will be different from the previous phase. adjoining the software team ruling the hospitals during that phase do hold up that they even lacked the most basic necessities on 2 syllables that they couldn't even provide. and me though, for the patients in this hospital, but now they're saying that the local authorities and the current government, the government is currently a promising them that this situation will be better. uh the uh, the hospitals and the health care system as the medical sector and syria will be better away from us. so this was look through march from uh, from syria hema for i just 0. this been a flurry of diplomatic meetings on the political transition in syria of the hosting of us us secretary of state. and me blinking has made a surprise visit to iraq, iraq's prime minister mohammed. she had also done, it says both that expects tangible actions from syria's new leader to ensure
9:11 pm
stability in the meeting, blinking stressed to the importance of helping syria rebuild and fight any resurgence of i. so no one knows the importance of that more rec, uh, because of the presence of the, the ongoing process of isis a dash in syria. and we are determined to make sure that, gosh, cannot, we emerge? united states, rac, gets together, had tremendous success in taking away territorial caliphate dash and created years ago. and now having put that back in his box, we can let it out. we were determined to make sure that that doesn't happen earlier blinking was in to kids, adults with turkish foreign minister, how kind of be done in ankara. they spoke about the importance of countering any resurgence of the islamic stage. if you look at them, a bunch of i,
9:12 pm
so in syria throughout the syrian civil war, the us and check, you've got rival opposition groups in the north and northeast of the country is isaac. this, what are you that you just decided? we aimed at restoring peace and stability in syria, also maintaining the country's territorial integrity and up routing terrorist organizations from the entire region. we discussed the means possible to achieve us as well as a shared solution that we reiterate to the importance of establishing a ceasefire and gaza immediately. however, israel continues killing civilians and other violations among the many issues discussed during the meeting was the defense industries. the top us officials are on a weld when diplomatic tour of the middle east to discuss serious future and israel's war on gaza. take sullivan, the bite and administration and national security adviser is in casa to meet with prime minister mohammed build. been abdulla, i'm also need a foreign ministry statement,
9:13 pm
says they discussed ways to enhance the strategic relations between country, as well as the latest developments and goza and syria. they also stressed the need to guarantee the unity of syria and to work for a peaceful transition of authority through an inclusive process. like how to joins we now live from washington, dc, mike lincoln and sullivan in the region. this is a diplomatic, pushed by the outgoing administration. what exactly might they be able to achieve as well? they juggling a number of bowls on each has slightly separate assignments. jake solomon, the sullivan, the national security advisor, where he said, has just arrived. the in doha, is discussing primarily the release of captives and gaza, and also the release of the palestinians being held in is really jails. now he's pushing these negotiations to bite and administration intent on getting some kind of solution to this longstanding issue before it leaves office on january the 20th
9:14 pm
he's being in israel, jag sullivan. and now in come to these talks on going. some of it in himself says it does appear that there's a great to johnston, off with some form of agreement given recent events, particularly the sci fi in 11 on. and now the of the official or diplomat, anthony blinking, he's being criss crossing the middle east in terms of dealing with the events post the events in syria. he is being in to k, he's being in iraq and baghdad. and they had told for the prime minister aimed primarily at keeping the coalition against i 2 together. this will prime concern the united states that have been since syria, the don't disrupt or split into that particular coalition, which is of crucial importance to the us, particularly as a time that they off is that the i so could we invented soulful re emerge in the
9:15 pm
vacuum left by the events in syria. thank you, mike. and. and meanwhile, leaders from g 7 nations have been holding virtual talks. what's the outcome of those talks as well? we didn't expect to get many details and we haven't, we have had a couple of statements by some of the members being released as saying, but confirming that syria was discussed. yes. but also under discussion was ukraine . now the specifics of what the discussions will have not and probably will not be released to make clear as well. this meeting was not to specifically discuss syria . it is an effect, a hand of a meeting as easily as the outgoing jay of the organization. canada is the incoming chair, it will be in charge in 2025. and the primary reason of this virtual meeting was to discuss this hand over and to look at the agenda for 2025 that syria was discussed
9:16 pm
. it has been confirmed. as i mentioned was ukraine and mike, tomorrow they will be of a meeting of foreign ministers in jordan. that's correct. and that will be attended by the secretary of state and to be blinking, who is expected to return to echo in the course of the day for that particular meeting. once again, this is an opportunity for the us secretary of state to continue to push the us agend in the region. that is very specifically the coalition against deisel, but also to map out developments in syria. the process by which the, in the making of a new government will take place. this is an opportunity for him to get full, everybody in the region, agreeing on what the process should be and what a new government in syria. and should look like. right, thank you. so much mike, that's mike hannah, reporting from washington dc. let's bring in now model one to shot
9:17 pm
a who is out of here as a senior political analyst, who joins we now live from doha. my one good to good to see you. let's begin with the some of the scenes of celebration that we've been seeing throughout the day earlier. we hud correspondent in mohammed vall, talking about the, the jubilation that syrians are feeling at this moment. even saying that people have brought the young children. they've brought even babies to witness the scenes . we're looking at live pictures now from damascus model and focus through what exactly do syrians expect for the future at this moment of celebration? yes, it's extraordinary. it's an extraordinary day, a started today. and it's, it's a truly worth celebrating, but the white celebration also hide deep anxiety about what the future holds.
9:18 pm
and that sounds, i feel really extends to a number of crucial crucial elements for syria includes the economy, which is in dire straits. the political position which promises to be incredibly difficult because one thing is still going over and live another thing is thrown over syria, which requires a widening of a coalition, how long the 10s of opposition figures and parties and so on. and then that is bringing all the security. i thought out this together, believe it or not. in syria today, there are acting 56 or 7 security forces. there's the national spirit army. there is the free syrian hardware. there is the city administrators in the south. there is height of the heavier sean. there is the democratic forces of syria. i'm. we haven't even yet spoken of what is left of of i since forces the actual hard me to syria and dash i is this so imagine 7 different security forces
9:19 pm
working on syria, at least 5 or 6 of them need to be united and the one security i practice because the arms in syria shouldn't be only in the hands of a government unless but someplace there's that relationship with the outside world to lift the sanctions unsolved, so forth. so believe it or not, behind the wide celebration, there is really deep anxiety because this coming government, this transitional government is supposed to be with us until the beginning of march needs to be able to bring all the other parties, all the other figures, dismissal fees. i need the always use together and unite the security forces and model one. you mentioned some of the challenges for siri. i'll just read some data for our audience. the u. n. 20. in 2024 u. n. data indicates that they requested more than $4000000000.00 to fund it's response inside syria and only around 30 percent of that was actually given. what
9:20 pm
exactly is the role here of the international community, including the us at this moment in terms of helping with rebuilding, syria is what clearly they have to do 1st and foremost within the next few weeks and months is list essential. but even if they're not good are really stuff assumptions here. but now there's also, i think new conditions as the by secretary of state blinking to the new conditions as to why or when they would release a studio sentence. but mind what it is that the american position is, again being divisive and again, being funded for destructive, right? because blinking comes to the area and on the play, you know, the whole figure that when managed things, but in fact, what he just said the after his meeting and you walk and talked to you was not the 1st of all clear. it was a big, it wasn't a 2nd, it sounded quite the stabilizing because the whole idea on the fight against dice,
9:21 pm
unless or remember, dash was created by the american invasion of iraq or through the american division of rock as the next president of the united states. are still there mistakes on the rock by dissolving the army or by the so called the box vacation. so some of the lead to the rise of isis and the end to date document isis must happen by syrians and here watkins. and storks, not by american forces, dividing syria or support thing. a succession is movement in the north eastern part of syria. so the united states needs to be constructive and stop being visited, but lives in part in this region, and part of one. meanwhile, at this moment, jake sullivan, the national security advisor, is also in the region. what exactly is he able to achieve given that the administration only has a few weeks left in office, in terms of specifically for him, the ceasefire and gaza? the absolutely right. i mean, what is your doing here?
9:22 pm
and then he doesn't have much to do in washington, but i tell you, i think he's here primarily to stay of the show, right? he's trying to stay with the show for the by the ministration. because that's the order number for the past 16 months before i had my session support the general side, it was complicit in genocide in gaza. and now they want to know what's the worst for that white wash that genocide by saying, look, we appear at that. we, we, we achieve a, a ceasefire but, but in fact the credit goes to the clouds and somewhat through the injections they are the ones who have been working behind the scenes the past several weeks and months to achieve a ceasefire. and then the one who are extracted concessions from what, how much that is right cut, that means the credit not certified. who's coming here of testing the show that's not fair to i think certainly, but i'm thinking of still trying to extract multiple sessions out of how much was
9:23 pm
covered and what it is that i'm covering up for nothing. you know, and that's again, not fair. so the session wants to whitewash it's image. it's one sometimes of achievement before january 20th, even though it is, has been and it has to be at the expense of the palestinians. and when, in fact the credit lies is what got that he was in the directions. thank you so much. that's our senior political analyst model on the shara they're forcing from to the new administration in damascus is cooling on the millions of syrian refugees to return home. take you hosts about 3000000 syrian refugees since the over throw, especially at a sub, the overall sentiment has been positive. many say they happy and hopeful for the countries future. stephanie decker spoke to syrians who settled in the south east and turkish city of consent of about returning home of the all of these men sled,
9:24 pm
the war in syria, bringing with them a touch of home carving stone. this skill and routine they have perfected over the years. but everything is different now. let me decide any of over 50 years past from the father, the son is gone and when we can believe it, it's like a dream. i cried when i found out it was over. personally, i feel that is a big responsibility to come back and to help. it's been 14 years time. we need to do both everything. now this is a traditional across from a level going back hundreds of years. the owners of this business and most of the workers are from i left, but we took them years to build this business, but everybody tells us they are determined to return and to start from scratch, to rebuild their city. and the country many tell us that starting over in a new country was hard. it's been a long road shoulder, so helpful. so my feeling is indescribable, happiness, happiness,
9:25 pm
that is beyond the extreme. so now is the time for reconstruction and to prepare for the future. the manager tells us the move will take time, paperwork, needs to be processed. he says that after building a business over 13 years, he colleges drop everything and go, but he will return to syria and soon the other, the men the highest in color. i'm not afraid of the future because the biggest obstacles the i said, the machine, which loans the entire country has gone. now when we sold the joint operation entering the cities, they took care of the minorities and they treated them very well. as we are one nation, this is what it's giving us assurances for the future. goes beyond debt posts close to half a 1000000 syrian refugees. many are from a level and everyone we spoke to wants to go home. is that honestly? it's a great victory. i want to go back, we need to go back. we've been here 11 years and it's enough. it's time to rebuild
9:26 pm
their homeland. they tell us time to car about to united and peaceful way. ford, stephanie decker. o g 0 goes down to south eastern. took you the united nations, the serious, the teen, your conflicts created the world's largest refugee crisis. with more than 14000000 syrians flows from their homes since 2011 off of that number on displaced within the countries borders where the un says 70 percent of the population needs, humanitarian aid and 90 percent lives below the poverty line. serious neighbors stuck here, 11 on jordan, iraq and egypt host about 5 and a half 1000000 syrian refugees. i know the 1300000 syrians have re settled in europe. most of them in germany. it's home to 8 150000 syrian refugees. the largest number in a no neighboring country. spotwood is the executive director of the syrian
9:27 pm
canadian foundation, and she joins me now live from canada model. thank you for joining us on the on does your and use our firstly let's begin with your thoughts on the experience of the diaspora community in canada at this moment. what is the response to these developments that we've seen in these recent days? well, to start off, it was honestly historic moment. i can believe that we're almost going to be facing a one week anniversary since the fall of that said reach even many of us as during canadians and events to refugees who came here a couple of years ago are jumping out of joy and happiness. and we're still in just believe that this historic moment actually happened after millions of syrians have injured unimaginable hardship and pain and suffer from displacement to nothing. and systemic torture. so the fact that there's hope that many of these syrian families can visit their it's on these back home is
9:28 pm
a dream that have come to model what just today is after the full of the side regime. we did see some changes in europe and countries. germany, austria, belgium, the u. k. and denmark, announcing plans to pause asylum applications for syrians. how do you interpret those changes? they were honestly, we are, they were deeply concerned and disappointed because the pointed and these reports that we have read how european countries are pausing or suspending a southern queens and some are even deporting sooner. a few days at this point, the conditions on the ground is sir, remain, i'm saved. there's still a lot of uncertainty about the future and for most refugees to return now they're still lack of basic services and infrastructure. so even the canada, the way that we want to approach it, is just to focus on refugee protection that must continue to prioritize human rights and recognize the ongoing risks for the syrians now in syria and many of them, we're talking about 6200000 refugees across the world and 7.2 for us that we display
9:29 pm
us within syria. so we're not just talking about hundreds of lives. many of them were displaced once, twice, or even 3 times before their final destination. it took them a lot of years and effort to reestablish their their life and of course trauma and loss of low blood volume. so expecting them to just be forced to go back and again start from scratch is, is unrealistic. so there has to be a bit in space of security and safety and syria before they conclude this premature assumption, the serious fine and on the material prices on the ground will be resolved overnight. um, since that said regina fall in a week and model, you talk about some of the conditions that make the situation rather unsafe, including aid cards that inflation exacerbating already poor living conditions, including outbreaks of diseases like cholera, scabies, what are some of the sentiments that you hear as you talk to people on the ground about the humanitarian situation in syria,
9:30 pm
that might be making people reluctant or indeed make it impossible for them to even consider returning as well. again, there is no infrastructure like they, they need to rebuild schools, hospitals, water system, we're talking about the destruction that was happening for over a decade. and many of the refugees uh sooner fifties don't even have a home spot a back in serious some houses were destroyed during the war. others have new people living in them. and many refugees also liked the documentation to prove that they own property. so for training through this critical time is, is really unsafe and let's not forget also the needs within the syrian community remains of madness with, with shattered infrastructure there's over, over 90 percent of the population still relies on humanitarian aid. so there's urgent request of assistance from international communities to support which now winter is approaching, including shelter of food, water, and weren't so again, just because i said is no longer in power, doesn't mean that syria is the best as
9:31 pm
a stable and save country for a still, there is a lot of aftermath, but now they're facing and effects from the more over a decade on what certainly complicated and complex situation. we heard recently from the new prime minister mohammed of but she had saying that one of the 1st goals is to bring back the millions of syrian refugees where our broad. earlier we spoke about the scale of that. that's more than 14000000 people who were forced from that home since 2011. he's talked about the fact that everyone must be involved in rebuilding that everyone's help is needed. how far away do you think we all from a situation with people might be willing and able to come back in terms of mass numbers for the 1st it has to be won truly. so this, this should not impact refugees or again, asylum, queens and people who are still at risk and, and can be in syria now. so the fact that this is impacting european countries, where they're saying that, okay, your country's announcing that they can work on, you know,
9:32 pm
mean it means that everything is resolved and they should have that pressure is going back and be building their country from scratch. they're still lack of resources or 0, still sections and 0. so if they don't have the international and community support, how are they be the car, the going to rebuild their country? there is, again, there should be a valid processes and, and that's going to impact a lot of and influence a lot of pressure on syria as well. it's still going through a transition to some, there is a lot of work to be done. and we have to tap into again, government support in order for a serious to be able to rebuild the the infrastructure of syria model. thank you so much. that's model. i hope you, who is the executive director of the syrian canadian foundation. thank you for joining the is there any forces have killed at least 50 people across the gaza strip since
9:33 pm
don't on friday the in the north of gauze of the army has launched heavy onto the refire and his ambulances of the council on one hospital. he has mainly military has laid siege to the north for over 2 months, cutting of access to medical supplies and repeatedly attacking health care facilities. and they have been more is really strikes ongoing. so series of sub the neighborhood. is there any forces? boomed, house filtering, displace palestinians, the ended up being taken to al, only hospital to elsewhere in gaza. city. and is there any drone attack has killed a journalist? shoddy also, fishy, was riding his bicycle with another man when the drone fired on them. the n g o report has without borders says more than a 145 gen list have been killed by these randy military since october last year. to assume is in debt, obama in central garza and he tells us more about israel's ongoing siege. the north
