time, and this is the squared demonstrate there's tried to reach in 2011 when many of them were killed by emerging forces marked in the beginning of a civil war. that was the rapids of the country for more than a decade. seen that on the birthplace of what many syrians cooled the revolution in the north. and of course, the city of less acura, which was the goddess as of june stronghold and, and i left the city a 2nd largest city. there were celebrations of the fried the peers of the 13 years of war and 64 years of the route to redeem city is october. the tires in the capitals, damascus piece is the place off the decades of fear and oppression. many here says this is the joy of freedom. they have long waited for half a century or leaving under the somebody 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 really unites communities. i'm built in the syria business address, which is 0. the mascot. the united nations security council is expected to meet on tuesday to discuss the political implemented terry and situation in syria. that's after syria's envoy, he sent a letter to the body, criticising is rarely strikes on his country. gabriel elizondo has more from the united nations headquarters in new york. a serious ambassador to the united nations is a hold over from the aside regime. damascus asked him to stay on in his current position and continue his work. and that's exactly what he's doing, representing the new administration in syria in the syrian people more broadly. now, earlier this week, the ambassador sent a letter to the security council, which we have obtained,

deploring israel's aggression and breaches of serious sovereignty, particularly bombing of military sites, as well as violations of the 1974 disengagement agreement overseen by the un. it disengagement observer for us. on friday, the secretary general's spokesperson commented about exactly that since december, 7th, and off has been observed, has observed a significant increase in his real defense forces, movements within the ever separation and the long to cease far line where they've been constructing counter mobility obstacles since july 2024, and off confirmed that as of 13 december. the idea for mains in the area of separation in multiple locations and offers informed its is really counter parts of the actions constitute a violation of the 1974. this engagement agreement, the letter from serious ambassador calls on the security council to do whatever it

a democracy. it does so in a way that, of course, protects all of the minorities and syria that produces and inclusive non secure and government. and does not become in any way a platform for chairs regional countries want a united and functional syria to welcome back. millions of refugees who flood during the civil war are also concerned by israel's destabilizing actions. launching an unprecedented number of air strikes that destroyed all of syria's military and defensive capabilities. find also in reading and occupying more serious territory in the golan heights assets, allies, iran and russia will be watching the summit from afar. their influence of interest did not align with those meeting in october. absent from the meeting or the syrians

whose breathtaking victory has changed the politics of this volatile region. what happens in the alcohol but will affect them immediately and strategically. the challenge for them now is to safely maneuver all those agendas to get the job of syria and recovery. done. not all day, i'll just need to talk about jordan. the german chancellor, olaf schultz has addressed the concerns of about a 1000000 siri and asylum seekers in his country. that's after 4, right. politicians called for them to be expelled. now that the said redeem has fallen short says that won't happen. but germany is one of several european countries that is freezing newest island proceedings for syria nationals, feler to have the full price votes. many syrians have successfully put down roots here in germany. 5000 syrian doctors work in our hospitals alone. some statements made in recent days have 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 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? won't have to that inside the israel has launched air attacks against multiple cities across northern casa, the region has been under a military siege for more than 2 months. now the, there's been heavy artillery fire and it made him ambulances have been hit, come out and add one hospital. the barely functioning hospital has been targeted repeatedly at access to medical supplies has been cut off. the united nation says

in depth analysis of the days headlines. what are we supposed to read into the game? so basically you missed all by russian informed opinions. finally, after over a year of genocide, the i c. c has come to this decision, critical debate. the difference between china and most of the rest of the world is a china plans long term inside story. do conferences and meetings like cop 29 and others make a difference on how to 0. south korea's working population is dwindling. and for an employees have become crucial to the country's economy. what's many are variable to exploitation and dangerous conditions? 101 east me, south korea's migrant workers on l. g 0. examining the headlines. what they wanted to do, they want that to be does that without health system unflinching that yeah. and

then there's a one side of a group of people who call themselves the research patriot. and on the other side is what i'm 2 races, processes sharing personal stories with a global audience. what is the see life working on a rooftop? that's a single thanks to an abundance of well tough programming. they're a unique fest tonight increases he fan nowhere else on the on which is the right the the, you're watching, i'll just hear. i'm a reminder of our top stories. the solid, multiple explosions have been heard and the syrian capital damascus believed to be is really airstrikes the city of us the way the in the country. southwest has also been targeting the latest strikes comments. hundreds of thousands of jubilant

syrians have poured onto the streets in several cities after the 1st friday prayers . since the fall of the sharp lessons, siri and opposition forces have uncovered vast quantities of the narcotic, kept the gun in warehouses and even a military air base. despite the said regimes denials of backing the trade, it was seen as a lifeline for the cash strapped government over the course of the civil war. for dear car reports in a warehouse inside of damascus syrian fighters find what remains for one of the most important resources for the former assad government. it's not weapons for intelligence, but narcotics, thousands of cop to gone pills. similar to amphetamines, the drug is banned in most countries because of how addictive it can be a copy of on for a for about this is how they wrapped them and send them to countries abroad. these are these drugs, they're sending them to saudi arabia to the entire gulf. this is how they're

loading trucks with them. since the civil war began in 2011, millions of the pills produced under the sad regime had been shipped to neighboring countries, counting for 80 percent of the world's production. despite massive boss, sometimes recovering several tons of the drug. trade has fueled addiction in countries like a wreck, jordan and saudi arabia. the drugs were a vital source of cash for the heavily sanctioned government. these individuals and these key elements of the syrian regime were 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. and the trade served as a to, for us as government to pressure regional arrivals. isaac continued to have these maxima as demands for normalization and refreshment. it really try to use it as a negotiation tool to essentially walk to the negotiation table and tablets,

regional neighbors and say, look, we can start to cut down on this solicit trade. if you give us something else and exchange the proliferation of cap to going through the middle east is just one of the enduring impacts. serious civil war. now, serious new administration has promised to purify the country of the truck and shed it's reputation as a narco stay for the car, which is 0. russia, as long as the large scale aerial attack on energy infrastructure across ukraine, several regions were hit, including the western city of levin were 6 facilities were damaged. ukraine's president says it was the largest attack yet on the energy grid. alice get topless reports this. 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 them, the souls have got 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 desa has been without power, electricity, and water for several hours. 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 was 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 and will be sitting the dock adjusted the times when you create needs to build up its power and energy and weapons supply. alex can helpless how to 0 chief to georgia now where the ruling party is due to name of far,

right loyalist as president. it will be the 1st time that in peace rather than the public will be choosing the president. the move has angered protestors who accused the governing party of rigging the elections in october. there been nighttime protest, 4 weeks. the current president is refusing to step down until new elections are held. dimitri medical reports from subleasing. you 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 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, then 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. the lead, who was the georgia dream account that it 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 press 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 meet the president, it's because i think that this country needs anticipate. 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, these continuous t, i needs to stay in the country. we have seen more than 2 weeks of protests in b c, across other cities of the country. what effect have these protests had, which 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. this truly inc, and the sense in the population is that we are a to, we are turning point. either of the this side struggle

succeeds from the position to resist the ser. uh or we will enter into a region that will be more or less the russian regime of 14. as the french president has appointed a centrist ally as prime minister as he tries to end a month long political crisis francois by rule. same here on the right. replace is michelle barnett, who was asked to just over a week ago by parliament, by rule. acknowledge that breaking the political deadlock is a himalayan task. that's how sir butler reports of today's, of on search and see from finally has a new prime minister for, for by who 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

and his twenties. he served as administered on the several presidents, including the conservative jackie rack and socialist falls for me to haul in 2007. he says opposite even century specialty moved him decade later it was moved. i'm supposed that help propelled emmanuel my girl to the presidency and to gain in 2022 . the 2 men a close united by the belief in centrist politics was pre does that. so michelle body as government to collapse all the 3 months so far really well wants to succeed with sonya failed to do so. he will need to form a government that can suffice in a deeply frontier french problem is divided almost equally between the left, the center and the rights. as a centrist by room may be able to appeal to m. p 's a little sides, but he's also made enemies during his career part. so the right wing have never forgiven him for supporting social is present. also all old in 2012 instead of the

candidate nicholas so cozy and phones is left when you're line so angry. the macro is a gang refused to a point to the left wing prime minister despite their lines winning most votes and the parliamentary election 6 months ago. for now, the far right national rally says it will support by roof, but with conditions most up it's up to mom above all cooling on the new prime into so not to be macros. profit. the french people express themselves and shoots numbers and elections in the summer hoping for change and a reasonable but from break from the president's policies. and with the current situation. haldeman, the next phase of the countries policies should not be like those all the manual my call without by res backing my call may nasa 12 elections. the pointing in prime minister is a way of thinking a long time allied, but it's also assigned to the present has once again failed to deliver the political change and renew promised we need to solve the problem. and in june,
