2:19 am
a reminder of our top stories this out. multiple explosions have been heard, and the syrian capital damascus leaves to be is really air strikes. the city of us, the way the in the country southwest has also been targeting the latest strikes comments, hundreds of thousands of jubilant syrian support onto the streets and several cities after the 1st friday prayers. since the fall of charlotte says government and there's been multiple is really a tax across northern gaza is really strikes, had several ambulances and come on, i'd want to hospital in bid you and says 90 percent of it's a admissions destined for the besieged north. i've been denied by israel since october. one of the major challenges facing serious new administration is inheriting a health system near collapse. the u. n says more than half of the hospitals and primary care centers have been destroyed after over a decade of war. that's an addition to the doctors and health care workers who have fled the country since 2011 in your car. much as soon as this report from the main
2:20 am
hospital and how much we are here in how much 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. as we've talked to the doctors and the step of this hospital, as they told us that they have joined, their ward says day you want. and they have spared no effort and 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 the hope that will be different from the previous phase during the software deem ruling the hospital during that stays. the hold of that, they even lack the most basic necessities on the syllables of the, even for wife and me though, for the patients and this hospital. but now they're saying that the local
2:21 am
authorities and the current government, the government is darkly promising then that the 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. all. this was look through march from uh, from syria him of progress 0 german chancellor old off schultz has addressed the concerns of about a 1000000 siri and asylum seekers in his country. that's after far, right? politicians called for them to be expelled. now that the sad regime has fallen short says that won't happen, but germany is one of several european countries, that's freezing new asylum proceedings for syrian nations to feelings to hold. and you'll have a flash votes, and many syrians have successfully put down roots here in germany. 5000 siri and doctors work in our hospitals alone. some statements made and recent days of deeply
2:22 am
unsettled our fellow citizens of syrian origin. what i have to tell you was this. anyone who is working here or to 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 as soon as the situation allows only in the coming days, weeks and months. will we be able to see what direction syria is taking without a side will not develop? earlier, my colleague jessica washington spoke to model hold the executive director of the syrian canadian foundation. she says it's far too soon to know whether it's safe for syrian refugees to return to their country. she also warned that these are often people who lost everything and had to rebuild their lives from scratch. many do not want to do that a 2nd time. so we're honestly, we're, we're deeply concerned and disappointing to be disappointed in these reports that we have read how here pin countries are pausing or suspending a southern queens and some are even deporting sooner if you do so at this point the
2:23 am
conditions on the ground. yes, 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 risk for syrians now in syria, many of them were talking about 6200000 refugees across the world and 7.2 for us that we display us within syria, so we're not just talking about hundreds of lives. many of them were displeased 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 loved loved ones. 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, of security and safety and syria before they conclude this premature assumption,
2:24 am
the serious fine and on the material prices on the ground will be result overnight . um, since that said regina fall in a week, how far away do you think we all from a situation where people might be willing and able to come back in terms of mass numbers? well 1st it has to be voluntarily. so this, this should not impact refugees who are again asylum, queens and people who are still at risk and, and can be in syria now. so the fact that this is impacting on european countries where they're saying that, okay, your country is announcing that they can work on, you know, mean means that everything is resolved and they should have that pressure is going back and rebuilding their country from scratch. they're still lack of resources or 0 still sections in syria. so if they don't have the international and community support, how are they be the car? are they going to rebuild their country? the russian has launched another large scale air attack on energy infrastructure across
2:25 am
ukraine. several regions were hit, including the western city of live, where 6 facilities were damaged, ukraine's president followed him here. zalinski has called it the largest attack yet on the energy grid. moscow says it was in retaliation for ukraine's use of us supplied long range missiles. alice, the top of us, is in ukraine's capital cave, with more on the latest russian strikes. this is a large scale and coordinated russian to tack on ukraine's energy infrastructure using 93 muscles and 200 drones fired ukraine. now the majority of these are being intercepted, but at least 12 of themselves have gone through and hit targets, energy related targets, right across the country. the energy providers in ukraine are normally tight lipped about what exactly has been damaged due to security. but we know that some of the city of odessa has been without power, electricity, and water for several hours,
2:26 am
and the international atomic energy agency as announced that 5 out of 9 nuclear power reactors are running reduce capacity. now this is obviously gonna affect people. he, if the temperature is well below 0 and the temperature is like, this is not for us. this is impacts people on homes, but it also impacts ukraine's power hungry defense industry. as these factories will now not be able to run a movie, sitting the dock just of the times when you create needs to build up its power and energy and weapon supply. alex could topless how to 0 chief, the french president, the manual on the crown, has appointed a centrist, allied as prime minister as he tries to end the month long. political crisis, francois by rou. seen here on the right replace is michelle barney, who was asked to just over a week ago by parliament and a no confidence vote and a hand over ceremony by ruth said that sorting out frances, that is a moral obligation. but acknowledge that breaking the political deadlock is a himalayan task. he's the 4th person to hold the post this year. i mean,
2:27 am
snow. see, is a political analyst explains francois baby who's relationship with president my con by who is uh, what is uh, a political figure that supported my quote um, since the beginning of his political career. and actually he always, he, he, oh, he was on my current before the before much so even developed his boys who id is. people often compared my quote to buy will because barrel was a central figure. well, sometimes a life was socialists in an opportunistic way without sharing their beliefs, but to be where he was also very conservative, very close to the rights. and um, his centers party always had this set this up, this way of doing fully takes uh, by analyzing every situation and align with their best interest. the less, lots, try to influence available as they know it's a law school. however, the found,
2:28 am
right. and uh, and that's what we learned from the new government the far right can get results with my quote as michelle button to do his best to a. so despite the far right that he, he asked them what they needed and meet the own it delivered on almost every occasion. so um, nothing is really changing between botany is uh, tactics and by it was tactics. i believe he will lean on the far right. he will need the far right to govern, and that's means sharing most of their ideas in his platform and even in his government to georgia. now, where the ruling party is due to a point of far right loyalist as president, it will be the 1st time in the country's history, the members of parliament rather than the public will be choosing the president. the move has angered protesters who accused the governing georgian dream party of rigging elections in october. there had been nightly protests for weeks. the
2:29 am
demonstrations were triggered by the government's decision to put you, accession talks on hold. the current president, solomon's wherever is really, is backing the movement. she's refusing to step down until new elections are held. dimitry measure, danco reports from tbilisi were expecting more products as the election 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 present will not be elected by the public foot by 8 college of $300.00 voters. and it is controlled by the governing party. 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,
2:30 am
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 government right now, including this presidential election. so they never offered an alternative candidates to me. kyle calculus of the lead, 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 executive. i don't think that that's
