a bittersweet big as the, remember the last as of the pattern. so the sub and 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 will have 3 city and they change on the 1st friday in a pretty serious believe it in a speech to the people, get the full try the pay or the new city and prime minister is hopeful about the future. utility and deliberation of the line is not just lifting the restrictions and raising the flags, but a new bush as a nation. they starting the degree to of the nation and to i continue. he's 34 of the city is, had been quoting these, the big duty friday, a set of rated the right across the country. kind of an atmosphere estimate yes, squared in damascus. the sample that evolution is phones against assets comedy the . this is, this declared the most mate,

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 red badge, the country for more than a decade. it seemed that on the birthplace of what many students cooled that evolution in the north and of course, the city of less acura, which was regarded as of june stronghold and the and i left the studio 2nd largest city. there were celebrations of the friday peers of the 15 years of war and 54 years of the routine, a savaging studios, october the tires in the capitals, damascus. i put a piece in place of the decades of fear and oppression. many here says this is the joy, a pretty them to have long way to for half a century or leaving 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 address, which is 0. the muskets, although celebrations, have continued into the night to mohammed vows. mean speaking to some of the people who've been out on the streets to thousands of people are still here at the oh my god. square. they don't seem to be willing to leave. they don't seem to be willing to finish these celebrations. people brought their families headed out since the to with most of these have started phase in this country. and i have with me a beautiful family here on model. and so now do you think you told me that the nice things about the pollution and about use you're feeling size and also tell me more to be honest. i live in law live in something different. we have

a future. we have to prove it was to fight for something. and this thing came 54. this is my daughter's ration was coming next. and room should continue a whole list of unless it is for them. yeah, exactly, hold them. okay. for other to the next and us ask them actually you told me your grades, 6th grade 6 and you are 9 years old. in the video sort of started, you are 9 years old. why are you here? and why are these people the guy sitting here? reading syria couldn't see the

amazing idea the us. so obviously, i mean, the idea is on everybody's minds. people know what they are looking for, even as the youngest is to give they know what they want from the set of allusion. everyone has to be talking about the same thing, the same themes, the same aspirations, they want freedom. they want to get it to say what about the economy? a better living condition. and they want a united strong prospect as syria for now on. how much fun does it off the most of the united nations security council is expected to meet on tuesday to discuss the political into monitoring the situation in syria. now it's up to serious invoice, sent it. a letter of criticizing is very strikes and this country capital ellis on

those got 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 and 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 disengagement observer for us on friday, the secretary general's spokesperson commented about exactly that. since the december, 7th, and off has been observed, has observed a significant increase in israel. defense forces,

movements within the ever separation. and along the seas far line where they've been constructing counter mobility obstacles since july 2024. and off confirms that as of 13 december, the idea for mains in the area of separation in multiple locations and off is informed. it says 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 can to compel israel to stop all of its attacks, as well as withdrawal from areas immediately the israel has occupied the past few days. on tuesday, the security council will meet to discuss serious political and humanitarian situation. gabriel is on the i'll just say the united nations in new york. living diplomatic meetings across the region about the political transition in syria, us secretary of state antony blank, and has made a surprise visit to a rack,

iraq's prime minister. how much she also, donnie says block that expects what he calls tangible actions from syria is new leader to ensure a stability in the meeting blinking stress. the importance of helping sylvia rebuild and fight any resurgence of iso. so no one knows the importance is that more than a wreck because of the presence of the ongoing presence of isis 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 churchwell 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 all blankets also discussed the situation in syria with the kids following minnesota.

how come for done well, but ford is the former us ambassador to serve you. yep. and he's going to be a senior fellow at the middle east institute. he's talked about for the, the us and so can, can reconcile the differences over the culture side, sevien democratic forces. i have seen no evidence yet that the americans are prepared to relinquish their use and partnership with the syrian and democratic forces that i have see no indication that turkey has a back tract from its animosity towards the syrian democratic forces. syrians over through the outside, the government themselves and without significant outside help. and syrians are in control of what's happening in damascus right now. and so the group meeting in jordan and the group of countries meeting and jordan, you are in a position to offer assistance, but are not in

a position to dictate terms. there is no international negotiation as one long imagined. bind happened under united nations auspices, but to manage hearing aid is still very much needed in syria. 90 percent of the population is in need of humanitarian aid. according to un data, it's important to engage directly with the actors in damascus. all of the actors and i think united states influence with the syrian democratic forces and in particular it's curtis leadership, is important to forestall serious fighting in the eastern part of syria. the, as long as the air attacks against multiple cities across northern garza,

has been under military siege for more than 2 months. the heavy artillery fire and big lucky ambulances have been hated come island hospital, the barely functioning medical facilities being targeted repeatedly access and medical supplies has been cut off united nations as israel's going to 9. a large number of agencies destined for northern garza or 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 $124.00. planned admission were denied right. the other 13 were approved, but then faced impediments along the way. since monday we 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 or just 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 a couple of them as in dental ballot in central guys. it was more than israel's northern siege. or 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 bay tunnel. and these board at towns and villages are completely on the coast and tax by the east valley of ground forces, which continue its military peroration from the 17th days so far on the ground. but 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 the ground residential homes in the city of la have this bottom of attacks have been similarly taking place in the valley of refuge account and we

have been seeing, we have a seen really see the aerial image just from f for the devalue refugee camp. so when you divide the scale destruction have been close to the city and to become a do to be a military operation. of this is gradually now taking place a lot of to forcing hundreds of thousands of families to evacuate and to move to the goal is to security. so one of the latest broad of attacks took place at the gates of college, one hosted to a web, an engine and speak and 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 templates as or twice a week, the continue to up to operate in that section of the territory. it means that the, the is really military is trying to inject these implants is out of service. on the same time they are trying to exec move pressure on the medical teams who are still

trapped in come on at one hospital. so ahead and i'll just say the ukrainians and shelter where they can is crucial power systems are hit by another wave of russian air strikes plus friends gets a new prime minister. we looked at the challenges ahead for centrist me, the phone. so i'm at home the color we have sign, this is some useful weather, pushing it to california over the next couple of days. very right, weather coming through, even some snow. so that will help with the well fine as it presents. we have to recall that top 10 places out of kind of the just pushing down across the plains. hard pressure. here's i normally bloss here that normally bloss running into

something and some warm or rad. down to was the deep south and weather to clash. we're going to say some of the lobby storms for a time so that we get him on a 7 in winnipeg we're looking at a $23.00 though a full faced and i'm not hate. it's gonna went out as we go through the next couple of days. minus 3, and when we pick up as we go through sunday, cut it off is going to monday, but the hate still very much in place across that eastern side of the us. then whether to make that, we go with those shots shala's bus, a very heavy rain fund, 3 down polls coming for could cool some localized flooding, but i the tools to west that's where we see we need the wet weather and, and they the winfrey weather. so useful weather in terms of ice qualifies as we go through fast. i snow coming through here, rolling across the rockies tended to deplete the little. still a few shall save it towards the snow for new england the the, the

limits to have a dream container. stuff in your own adventure, now counter arrange the, the the, the what you know to 0 a reminder about told stories, those are multiple explosions that had in the city and capital damascus. it's believed the air strikes by israel aside. fi,

some said 2 of us. the way that has also been talking to the latest start is thomas hundreds of sizes. a syrians of poured onto the streets in several cities, up to the 1st friday prayer. since the fall of bush out all assad government, and that will be multiple is when the attacks across northern johnson is what he strikes if it's several ambulances that come allowed one hospital in fayetteville here you and says 90 percent of its 8 emissions test. and so the disease north have been denied by israel's since october. the german challenge with it all off schultz has been speaking about the concerns of around a 1000000 syria and asylum seekers in his country. that's off the far right. politicians called for them to be expelled. now that the outside regime has fallen, schultz says that won't happen, but germany is one of several european countries. that's freezing. new assign the proceedings for city and 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 board that syrian opposition forces have uncovered vast quantities of the narcotic kept to go on in warehouses and even a military air base. despite the sad regimes denials of backing the trade, it was seen as a lifeline for the cash dropped the government over the course of the civil war. veteran ca reports in a warehouse inside of damascus syrian fighters find what remains for one of the most important resources. for the former aside government,

it's not weapons for intelligence. it's these drugs 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 full have 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 details 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 tell it's regional neighbors and say, look, we can start to cut down on the solicit trade. if you give us something else. in exchange, the proliferation of capital gone through the middle east is just one of the enduring impacts with serious civil war. now, serious new administration has promised to purify the country of the truck and shed its reputation as a narco space. for the car, which is 0 rush, as long as the large scale arrow attack on energy networks across the ukraine,

several regions have been hit, including the western city of live with 6 sites have been damaged. you claims president says it was the largest attack yet on the energy grid on his control for this reports. 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 have been intercepted, but at least 12 of themselves 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 city of a desa has been without power, electricity, and water for several hours. and the international atomic energy agency as announced it's 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 result further,

this is impacts people on homes, but it also impacts ukraine's power hungry defense industry. as these factories will 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 can helpless how to 0, chief to georgia, not for the ruling party is due to name a far right lawyer list as president. it's going to be the 1st time the politicians rather than the public. going to be choosing the president, move his anger protest, and so accused the governing party. i'm looking elections in october. the night time protests for weeks, the cutting president is refusing to step down until new elections are held. dimitry member then co sign done with the judge and president to discuss the political crisis and the country. the matter i'm present. thank you very much for finding the time to talk to a tunnel out as they are. now. december 29th is the last day of your term in office

. that will be another president, and i'll get rated on that day. you said earlier that you were not planning to vacate the post. is this still your plan? well, it's not the plan, it's effect. because the elections that elected the parliament were not free and fair elections and they were stolen actions, hence the parliament is not legitimate. department is a one party parliament where the political parties of the position that participated in the elections did not enter it because of the solar and elections. and so this makes a whole the whole of exist size not to legitimate, including the designation of the president. and then he's integration the whatever my mandate by constitution runs until the time when the president

is integrated, which it has to be a legitimate president. so my men between 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 a place where you can stay with your people. if i think that it's necessary to have a legitimate president, it's because i think that this country means that these things a crucial time of crisis needs continue and needs a stability. and the only states continued to is income newton via is it, is it that has been elected by the people and not by a parliament that has not received legitimacy as so for that reason,

these continued t, i needs to stay in the country. we have seen more than 2 weeks of protests in release, see 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 the 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. you have called earlier for international pressure in sanctions to be applied against

members of the government. i've been calling for support for this movement and for putting pressure on authorities that are now a reality of relying on to a repression that sometimes turns into torture. because that's the qualification that the public defender has given to the acts of the police forces of the refreshing forces. because there is a difference here between the real police force and the, and the many blocks that are used for this the practices. do you think georgia still has a chance to become a member of the european union? oh, the chance to become a member. i think that george has ever seen them. the position that you see on the streets is a very european preparation. and they are defending the european future as i think no european country would defend it as so yes. and the reasons to join

the european union and the readiness, both in mentality and the in the will exist if the society and the population gets becomes if we know which i think for toilet, then you can pass. is there finally, do you think you might run for president of georgia again? i, i've learned to one sink in my life, which is to never say never, i'm president. thank you very much for your time. the french president has appointed a centralist ally as prime minister as he tries to end the political crisis, which has lasted for months. force on that hosting here on the rights replaces michelle bung. yay. who was i was to just over a week ago by parliament memo has and i acknowledge that breaking the political deadlock is that he describes us in the land task latasha about the reports of the,

of the days of on search and see from finally has a new prime minister for, 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 rew entered politics and his twenties, he served as administered on the several presidents, including the conservative jacques chirac and socialist falls for me to haul in 2007 he says, i'll be moving century specialty moved in decade later, it was moved and supposed that help preparing the manual mike role to the presidency and to gain in 2022. the 2 men a close united by the belief in centrist politics. borrowers pre decides to michelle body as government collapse of need 3 months so far really wants to succeed, whip on yay, fails to do so he will need to for.
