the stripe and another star, city and state. this is a new day. we feel like a free butterfly. for 13 years. we have feels like our country was stolen from us today. we feel this is our country and we have our rights set up for some, it's a bittersweet big as the remember the last as of the pen? so the sub, the joy is mixed with sadness. the regime arrest took me fast and then my 3 sons. i'm free now, but they are still missing. i don't know why they all if their lives raise your hand, you would have 3 city and they change on the 1st friday. you know, pretty serious. believe it in a speech to the people. get this for try the pay or the new city and prime minister is hopeful about the future. victoria and deliberation of the line is not just lifting the restrictions and raising the flags, but a new birth of the nation. they starting the dignity of the nation and to i

this is the joy of pretty them to have long way to for half a century or leaving onto the family. to 10 years of civil war, have devastated the economy. destroyed much of the country. i killed me and a half a 1000000 people. now the hope here is that the new ones version united communities i'm built in the syria business of that. i'll just, there are some ask us for the left. i suppose the 1st cities are for the opposition fight to is the some of the binge of a decide what people have also been reluctant to leave the main square. why is the height of them? the question that the series that we see on the screen seems to be divided and the arrow suddenly is in here and uh, and various other fractions which make this diverse concrete. and this is what they

be without doing that the people of syria are one. this is the subdivision that a green on going here in the left, boost out square. let me show you every 4 hours and big one of you please, and another one joins them. and this is been ongoing for the last few hours. they come, they gather the dogs, vague, the jobs, they wave the flag. they come from all parts of the did come up all parts of a level from the country side of it from the country side of how much they're coming up on in the throes. they coming from all walks of life. and you can see men, women, children, die together in this, in celebration is, or they'd been waiting for this for the last 40 years. this is the freedom that they wanted one. manders went to bed. i cannot explain to you in words what freedom feels like. this is

a freedom. another man came to us and don't have the the sacrifice to his son for this war. and now he believes it presumes birth. it is your birth. remembering 14 years of age with squares like this, where you would see people coming together in the region touches to us the world to stand with them to get on the end of a dictator. now they're happy they, it's not just the charlotte dog which is ended, but they believe it's also had the influence of iran and restaurants and other international powers. it has ended events that one message for the rulers that they want this area to be the vice syrians for syrians, according to the explanation of the city and people. some of the driver does have you to a level has been a series of regional diplomatic meetings on the political transition. and so we offer the housing of a side us active. so you tend to be blinking is made a surprise visit to a rock, the rocks prime minister mohammed. she also danis is backed that expects eligible actions from syria is needed to ensure stability in that meeting, blinking stress,

the importance of helping syria rebuild and fight any research device. so no one knows the importance is that more than a rack because of the presence of the ongoing presence of isis or 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 it 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 have the blinking was in touch to you holding told so the turkish foreign minister hawk i'm feeding. they also spoke about the importance of countering any resilience, of isolating syria throughout the city and civil war. the us and took you have banked rival opposition, grievers me mon take sullivan,

the by the end of business patients, national security advisor was a castle to meet with the prime minister mohammed been up and romano pony foreign ministry statements said they discuss ways to enhance the citizenship relations between the countries as well as the latest developments in both syria garza base trust, the need to guarantee the unity of sylvia and to work for a peaceful transition of authority through an inclusive process. and besides, i was just there a senior political analyst, he explains why the news submitted to ministration is yet to comment on israel strikes. everytime they've been pushed to respond to these ray, the violations of the sovereignty or bear, the destruction is over many terms to nations, the various spokesperson of height at the head of some c. s had been rather a quiet deal really. so i think they probably got some instructions, we don't want to provoke or anyone. and even when we are attacked,

we don't want to sound as if we are a lot of missed on what have you. but clearly the response from damascus had been quite ne, good, quite meek. but that does not um, that does not belittle the importance of the slowness. notice rogue action by a rogue is reading the government that continues to aggressive its neighbors and continues divided. the sovereignty of the likes of syria and uh, to us crap agreement that's been going on for decades and it's all happening just to connect to your other item. it's all happening with the support of the united states. germany's chon slough schultz has address the concerns of about a 1000000 saving asylum seekers in his country. also off the far right politicians cool for them to be expelled. now it'd be a sad regimes full show says that won't happen,

but germany is one of several european countries that it's freezing. you assign them, proceeding cecilia, nationals, its feelings to hold the flash bolts and many syrians have successfully put down roots here in germany. 5000 syrian doctor's work in our hospitals alone. some statements made in recent days of deeply unsettled our fellow citizens of syrian origin. what i have to tell you was this, anyone who is working here. anyone who is well integrated is and will remain welcome in germany. that goes without saying, some refugees hope that they'll return to their homeland. we will support that to a soon as a situation allows only in the coming days, weeks and months. will we be able to see what direction syria is taking without a side won't active at the

israel is launched air attacks against multiple cities across nolan garza, the regions being under a military siege. now for more than 2 months, the explosion savings being having to refile to bed le, i'm building says they've been hit to come out loud. well, hospital, the battery functioning hospital has been targeted repeatedly in access to medical supplies has been cut off. united nations says israel has been denying an over whelming number of 8 emissions destined for northern goza. since october 6th, the u. n. and our partners have tried to coordinate a $137.00 missions to those parts of the north, more than 90 percent. that's about a $120.00 for planned admission. were denied right. the other 13 were approved but then faced impediments along the way. since monday we've submitted 16 requests that's between $3.00 and $5.00 each day. almost all were flat out denied the only

mission to get the green light was prevented from moving into all the areas it set out to reach. ready stresses at once again or humanitarian movements must be facilitated across garza, including areas in the north where thousands of palestinians are facing a book elliptic conditions after almost 10 weeks under siege. thought i have always am, isn't there on bother and central gaza with more on israel is ongoing seats in the north. the strip that there has been no new, significant change in terms of the reality taking place in the north of district. because i do value a big lie in vitamins these board at towns and villages are completely on the coast . and that tax by the east valley of ground forces which continue its military peroration from the 17th days so far on the ground. one of the main significance updates that we've managed to get from eye witnesses in the north is that these cross forces continue to a bound to be ground residential homes in the city. oh,

wow. yeah, there's a button of attach, have been similarly taking place in the valley of refuge account and we have been seeing, we have a scene really see the aerial image just from f for the devalue, repeat the cap. so when you divide scale destruction have been close to the sea, and to become that, due to the military operation of this is gradually now taking place, a lot of to forcing hundreds of thousands of families to evacuate last year. and to move to the goal is to security. so one of the latest provides of a text took place at the gates of college one hosted so well an ambulance vehicle was a targeted and i wouldn't have seen that this vehicle was completely on fire. and this is a part of the systematic attacks on a medical sector. and even for those m p lenses for twice a week, the continue to up to operate in that 2nd to all the territory means that the, the is really military is trying to inject these implants is out of service. under

the same time, they are trying to exec move pressure on medical teams who are still trapped in come on at one hospital or so it has allowed to 0 from skin saying the prime minister will look at the challenges ahead for centrist leader francois by with the phone, counting the cost from some germany or in political and economic turmoil. powell last effect. the rest of your, of the world bank has announced a wrinkled $100000000000.00 in support for poor a nation's plus coffee price is hit the highest level. it almost half a century, counting the cost on the 0. peter is without water. one of the oldest cities in the world struggling to reconnect the most basic services is real bomb domain pumping station during the war. cutting off the cities drinking water,

the meeting of the country's top civilian and military leaders as well as representatives of the united nations took place 10 days into the sea. spar with is now so reconstruction budget and tripped appointments to the south. the country, by the time of the meeting, israel had violated cease for our turns more than 100 times. pier is essentially a tourist town. what parts of it have been so heavily bombed that some streets feel post apocalyptic? and israel's continued action in the south of lebanon, has people here doubting the stability of the ceasefire. loving these people say their country exist in the margins between war and peace. but with israel still occupying villages in the south of the country, still carrying out their strikes and rates, still killing lebanese people. the worry is this is a one sided ceasefire. and the margins maybe getting to say the

the, the way that i would just say, right, here's their mind about the top. so is this, our multiple explosions have been and the civilian council, damascus, believes to be, is really strikes the city of as to why they're in the country. southwest has also been talking to the latest strikes, come as thousands of jubilant syrians of port on the streets of several cities after the 1st friday. pres, says affordable charlotte sounds coming and this being multiple is where the attacks across northern cause them is really strikes of several ambulances to come out of my drug costs when they lie a view and says 90 percent of its 8 missions tested for besieged, have been denied on his routes to the new city, an administrator and says it's filed a warehouse story, industrial scale amphetamines, on the west of the edge of damascus. thousands of highly addictive pillows under

the brand name. come to go into being discovered. many were packed inside the electrical equipment. others had been inside fruits, but sean assad government long denied tied to the international drug trade bonds. you had been accused of profiteering from the production and sale of come to go on . but caroline rose is director of the new lines institute is the strategy and policy and an adjunct assistant professor at georgetown university. she breaks out exactly why the production and sale of come to gone the so crucial to the side regime. it wasn't just a trade, it was really an industry and alyssa industry for the sod regime. and it was very clear that they used to as an alternative for revenue streams to really bypass the effects of sanctions. and even create a political tool that they could use at the negotiation table for normalization, with its counterparts and the middle east. we estimate that the kept going, trade accounting for both seized and, and seized pills really at its peak and 2022 in 2023 was around $10000000000.00

per year. now from those profits, it's estimated by the syrian observatory for political and economic networks. that the, that the regime and regime aligned individuals and networks profited for a, with about $2400000000.00 per year over the course of 3 years. it's around $7000000000.00, and that is pretty outsized. when an impressive, when we look at, for example, the listed exports of the syrian economy, these individuals and these a key elements of the syrian regime. we're really able to use these revenues to ensure that their lifestyles continued, that they remain comfortable despite international sanctions and a collapsed economy in syria. they were able to cover up these major manufacturing sites. and it was always asserted that there was no production whatsoever inside of syria. and then of course, the regime just fell just days ago. and immediately in the aftermath,

we've already found $2.00 to $3.00 large scale production sites. in addition to trafficking centers, staging centers and warehouses, it's very clear that the regime manipulated data, they manipulated arrest numbers. they are manipulated caesar numbers in order to create this narrative, that there was no production whatsoever, and that they were trying to crack down on this trade and that they didn't have control over it. it was also very clear that the regime one for sharyl assad not personally have many connections to top to bottom manufacturing sites. and there was no, you know, immediate and clear directive from the charlotte side himself. his brother in law hare, who, of course, also operated in and commanded the 4th armor division, along with this series of other high level officials that were part of the 1st armored division military intelligence director at the air force intelligence director at and t. business figures in syria is a commercial sector,

is the french president to bundle my crone as a point as a census ally, as prime minister as it tries to end among slow political crisis from sort by rou, seen here on the right, replaces michelle bon. yet the left who was asked to just over a week ago by parliament to the no confidence vote. he's a 4th person to hold the post. the c. patasha butler reports paris on the challenges ahead for frances newest prime minister. one of the days of consistency from finally has a new prime minister fall for by root. the veterans, centrist leader says he's ready for the job. i think everybody knows how difficult this task is. everybody knows that it's possible to find a path that brings people together instead of dividing them by route into politics . in his twenties, he served as administered on the several presidents,

including the conservative jacques chirac and socialist falls for me to hall in 2007, he says opposite even century specialty moved in decade later, it was moved and supposed that help propelled the manual micro to the presidency and to gain in 2022. the 2 men at close united by that belief in centrist politics . virus pre decides to michelle body as government of collapse often, only 3 months i barbara will want to succeed with vanya failed to do so. he will need to form a document that can suffice in a deeply frontier french paul, i'm a divided almost equally between the left, the center and the rights as a centrist by root may be able to appeal to m p 's a little side spot. he's also made enemies during his career part, so the right wing have never forgiven him for supporting social is present. also arnold in 2012 instead of the candidate nicholas all cozy. and for all this is left

when lines angry. the macro is a gang refused to a point to left to him prime minister despite their lives winning most votes and the parliamentary election 6 months ago. for now, the far right national riley says it will support by root, but with conditions was up. it's up to the, i'm above all cooling on the new prime minister, not to be macros pop up. the french people express themselves and shoots numbers and elections in the summer, hoping for change and a reasonable but fun break from the president's policies. and with the current situation, haldeman, the next phase of the country's policies should not be like those all the manual. my call us with that by res. backing macro may natural, one to elections, the pointing in prime ministers a wave thinking a long time ally, but it's also assigned to the presenters once again failed to deliver the political change and renew. promised when he dissolved parliament in june. natasha butler, l. g 0, paris to georgia, where the ruling party is to, to

a point to far right loyalist is present it to be the 1st time in the country's history that empties while the public will be choosing the president moves. and good protest is a two's the governing georgia dream policy of rigging elections. and i'll tell you that, that'd be 9 time protests for weeks then to meet you meant vanco report, some typically see as we're expecting more products as the likes and will happen on saturday morning to give you an understanding of why there's an election with just one time that we have to roll back to 2 days, festival, 2017. the government causes amendments to the constitution, changing the procedure of how the president is elected and reducing the presidential time from 6 to 5 years. so the president will not be elected by the public foot by 8 college of $300.00 voters, and it is controlled by the governing policy georgians. right. and now the 2nd thing we need to go back to is october 26th of this year when the parliamentary elections happen now. uh, opposition policies because they disagreed with the results. exit. polls gave them over 50 percent,

saying officially got around $37.00 or 38 percent. they refused to take their seats in parliament. so they're not taking part in any legislative procedures in the of the government right now, including this presidential election. so they never offered an alternative candidates to me. kyle calculus, meaning who was the georgia dream attended at? now solomon is what obviously the acting presently, the outgoing president talked to us earlier today about this current situation. this is what she said. my mandatory run as long as there is no new elections and by the new elections in new parliament, the toilet elect a legitimate president. and then with pleasure, i stepped out. do you see the possibility that you might be forced into exile? no, no, no. i'm not going to be an example. i don't think that that's a place where you can stay with your people. if i think that it's necessary to avenue to, to meet the president. it's because i think that this country means that these things a crucial time of crisis needs continue t a and needs

a stability. and the only states continued to incognito and via president that has been elected by the people and not by a parliament that has not received legitimacy as so for that reason, this continues to needs to stay in the country. we have seen more than 2 weeks of protests in the sea across other cities of the country. what effect have these protests had? what we are seeing is a very massive movement because it was never the case before. we've had many protests in this country, but never before was it so extended to the different cities in the country the think and the sense in the population is that we are a to, we are turning point. either of the this is tied struggle succeeds from the population to resist the ser. uh or we

will enter into a region that will be more or less the russian regime of 14. okay, that's it for me, in the fall, get counting, the cost is on the next the the, the color, the heat really is ramping up across southeastern pots of australia. and we all got to say some very high temperatures over the next couple of days. could see if this area of high pressure in the south here was a little further east, which i'm a real c, a bus, the really hot weather pushing for a brother in laws that got some showers into quays. man up towards the top and into w way as well, but let's focus on the heat for the time being $41.00 celsius. and alice says

$31.00 for adelaide for sas day, and that heat slips further south with an east. was that brookfield a wind out of the red sand to the lovely bloss to fade melbourne could touch? will $41.00 degrees celsius here for monday off, then pulling off a little as we go on into choose die. but you can see a lot of hot weather eventually pushing across towards sidney. so long as the dry weather heat is in place. of course, still of yourselves into that is to sort of us just the round president in the go to go some west of weatherford time into a top of the way. it's also somewhat to whether to just making his way towards new zealand as we move into the parts of next week. so i'm like why the 2 in 2 of japan and the cool some snow across the west side of the country. meanwhile, the korean peninsula is dry. the lines of ethnic i'm groups is posing the biggest challenge to me in most countries,

since the 2021 with the exclusive access to remote camps in front line battles. people in power shops, the progress of an idea, at least the younger generation of rebels. as a pivotal moment in the last 60 years of the countries, the trouble of history on the phones, the in my, on the, on the ropes on al jazeera, the, the hello, i'm adrian said again, this is counting the cost on elders ariel. we see, look at the world of business and the comics this week. they've long been the ears powerhouse since the prompts and germany facing political economic to that that's no trouble to the rest of europe.
