in the north and of course, the city of let's ask you, which was the good as of june, strong, cold. and the and i left one studio 2nd largest city. there were celebrations of the friday piers of the 13 years of war and 54 years of the routine. a savaging city is october times in the capital of damascus. i project peace is the 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, you know it's communities. i'm built in the syria business address, which is 0. the mascot level was the 1st cities are followed to the opposition

fighters. and since then, people have been reluctant to leave the main square. some a binge of 8 is there is the hi austin. the question that beset that we see on the screen seems to be divided and the arabs, and suddenly is interior and various other fractions which make this diverse concrete. and this is what they broke out, that the people of syria are one. this is the side of richard that a green on going here in the left most out square. let me show you every 4 hours and they want to use another one, joined them, and this has been ongoing for the last few hours. they come big guy that are the dogs, vague, the jobs. they are very big flags. they come from all parts of this area. they come up all pods of

a level from the countryside of it from the country side of how much they coming up on in the, to the coming from all walks of life. and you can see men, women, children die together. this incentive ration. they say they'd been waiting for this for the last 40 years. this is the freedom that they wanted. one man who spoke to said, i cannot explain to you in words what the freedom feels like. this is a freedom. another man came to us and told him that the sacrifice to hold his sons for this war, and now he believes it begins birth. it is your birth. remembering 14 years of age with squares like that, where you would see people coming together in a raging purchase to us the world to stand with them. demands the end of a dictator. now they're happy they, it's not just the charlotte dog hitches ended, but they believe it's also had the influence of iran and, and restaurants and other international viruses. it has ended with dad,

one message for the rulers that they want this area to be rude by syrians for syrians, according to the explanation of the city and people. some of the driver does avita level. the united nations security council is expected to meet on tuesday to discuss the serious political and humanitarian situation. 70 is invoice sent it a letter criticising is very strikes and these country bill elis, onto has moved 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 ceasefire 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's on the i'll just say the united nations in new york, jordan is to host high level talks and the political transition in syria foreign ministers from out of nations as well as the us secretary of state, down to lincoln and the farm instead of the kids are expected to attend his normal day and uncle angel don't own you for you. as syrians celebrate their new found freedom and public squares across their liberated country, the meanwhile diplomats are scrambling to catch up with the regional and international aftershocks of the subdivisions downfall. jordan is due to host a summit and it's coastal city of africa to coordinate a response to syria's immediate needs on the agenda to monetary and release

security. serious, precarious road to recovery, reconciliation, and democratic rule. you and agencies say the task ahead will be difficult for jordan and the you are sending him monetary and aid stability and syria is a goal. everyone attending jock of us summit agrees on, but not necessarily how to secure it in the us and european union are being cautious towards the new administration, saying they want to judge actions, not words. we spent time talking about understanding the situation in syria and the conviction of so many countries in the region and beyond that as syria transitions from the side dictatorship to hopefully 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 tears. regional countries want a united and functional syria to welcome back. millions of refugees will flood during the civil war. are also concerned by israel's destabilizing actions. launching an unprecedented number of air strikes, but destroyed all of syria's military and defensive capabilities. find also invading 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 g of politics, of this volatile region, what happens in alcohol, but will affect them immediately on strategically?

the challenge for them now is to safely maneuver all those agendas to get the job of syria and recovery done. not all the address ita up jordan. robert ford is the former us ambassador to send the m. he says it remains to be seen whether the us on to kia can reconcile the differences over the counter sled, sylvia 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 back tracked from its animosity towards the syrian democratic forces. syrians over through the outside governments 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 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 the nation's 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 the united states influence with the syrian democratic forces and in particular it's british leadership, is important to forestall serious fighting in the eastern part of syria. the

israel has launched air attacks against multiple cities across knowles and gaza. it's been under a military siege for more than 2 months on the same page. well, here i'm building, so something had to become a loud one. hospital, the barely functioning medical facilities being targeted repeatedly, the united nations. it says israel has been denying a large number of 8 emissions destined for northern gosh, i thought a couple of them is in general, bought a central gaza with more on israel's northern siege. and 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 that tax by the east valley of ground forces which continue its minute trip ration 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 append to the 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 seen really see the aerial image just from f for the devalue of refugee camp. so when the wide scale disruption 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 last year and to move to the gods and security, so one of the latest provides of a text took place at the gates of college, one of the 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 possibly systematic tax on

a medical sector. and even for those m p lenses for twice a week that continue to up to operate and that's seconds all over the territory. it means that the, the is really military is trying to inject these influences 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. the still ahead and i'll just say to another motion to impeach, size to be as president is up for a vote and holidays in the coming hours. we're going to be alive from so the in depth analysis of the days headlines. what are we supposed to read painting through 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, life cop 29,

and others make a difference on how to 0 pod came in to be some could be interm had for 4 years which is pretty much an electrical terms. now i didn't say that that will be for 40 years facing realities. what does donald trump's re election? mean pretty tough. it is most important that we focus on how to work with president trump thought provoking on self. and your wife is dealing with the climate crisis is a crisis of crisis good times. but so it's not just one price is up via the story on talk to how does era the colleges when the

the, you want to know? what is it a reminder of our top story is this uh, multiple explosions or had and syrian capital damascus. it's believes there is for air strikes by israel. the site is less than city of all squared. as also being targeted, the latest strikes, commas, hundreds of thousands of civilians are poured onto the streets of several cities after the 1st friday. prayers says full of bucks out on the sides, governors. george's routing party is username a far white loyalist as president, and the vote in parliament was just gotten on the way this out. it's going to be the 1st time the politicians rather than the public are going to be choosing the president moves angry protestors who accused the government policy of virginia elections in october. it will be nightly protest for weeks. the calendar president

is refusing to step down until new elections health between that and co, sometime with the georgia president to discuss the political crisis in the country . 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 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 have a legitimate president, it's because i think that this country needs anticipate. a crucial time of crisis needs continue. 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 continued 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 the, the, the, this is tight, struggles succeeds from the population to resist these. uh or we will enter into a region that will be more or less the russian regime of 14 major event, midland coast,

joining us from outside the fall and introduce the as lots vote is going ahead to talk us through what's going to be happening in parliament in the coming hours and the next few days of the yeah. hi rob. it's a very cold morning ends, but do you see the coldest it a scene of this season? and that's spelled as hundreds of people gather behind me because the voting is, in fact on the way, like you said. so there is an electoral committee that is voting the new president in. there's only one candidate, it's an extraordinary situation. but the roots of this is that the october 26th elections and parliament haven't been recognized by the opposition. and they did not take the seats and parliament, there's actually a bunch of empty seats in the parliament voting whole. so the names of the 300 people who i suppose to vote of being cold out. these are members of parliament as well as representatives of local governments on to a ton of these regions,

javi and of cause you as well as local municipalities. so these people are coming in and both again for the only one candidate. that's me kyle calculus to be these are kansas from georgia dream. there's no alternative candidates again, because the opposition believes this government is illegitimate. and so that not taking part in any process which would legitimize the government, and we just had the, the president's and telling you there, dmitri, that she's not going to go anywhere. and she doesn't recognize the vote that was held originally. there are demands for new elections. we can see the, some of the book choices that you're talking about behind you. what sense do you have given the fact you've been covering this since it began? and what size do you have a wonderful kind of impact that this is all going to have on the country? of all the country has been divided between united supporters of georgia in dream. the campaign before these parliamentary elections have been war against peace. they were basically promising that if you would like to georgia dream, they will be no war. this is potentially in reference to

a possible invasion by russia and a lot of the, a situation ukraine has been affecting, of course, georgia, which also had a brief war with russia in 2008 and 2 regions are still considered occupied by russia. according to the georgia constitution, and then you have the all the whole opposition side, which has said from one day off to the elections that this isn't the legitimate government. the boat was illegal. and therefore, that not taking part in any of this until the as a new election. the main reason for that was that there was a huge discrepancy between exit polls and the official results. uh, something that was uh, uh, branded as, uh, uh, the col, remember the exact wording, but it could not be attributed to just uh, you know, regular erect irregularities in terms of both counseling. so it was something that kind of be acknowledged 5 by pulses. so we have seen 17 days of protest this day,

17. it is minus 5 degrees and wendy. that was a pleasant, not 15 minutes ago. people are still here to me. thank you very much. and you dmitri method and contributors from placing to talk to him. president, joseph jewel is facing another impeachment, vote in parliament this expect to get under way in just under 2 hours. so it has failed bit to enforce martial law earlier this month. so 5, the 1st attempt and impeachment loss such as even most winning party entities. boy, because of the vote, they will be new daily protest calling for you to staff dining since the political crisis began. unis kim is just outside of the national assembly in the, beside 3 and capital. so let's talk about the what happened last week. first of all, conservative and peace walked out of last week's impeachment vote. and the just wondering unit if you can hear me, it's rob madison and doha. here, i'm just going to carry on. can you tell us how things are likely to be different this time around with this vote,

a unit drop madison in the doha here around this time we're having a few problems with our, our link to you there. but can i just going to try one more time? see if you can hear me what we're talking about. the vote that happened last week of the impeachment vote that happened last week. a conservative and peace walked out of last week's impeachment, vote things unlikely. we things to be different this time around. can you describe to us why there is a difference? yeah, rob, there is a sense of cautious optimism this time around, especially as we've heard from at least 7 conservative law makers in the course of this week that they did tend to dispatch from the official party line. and that the piece from that was up for both later this afternoon. now that is just one short of the 8 people, part of the party law makers to read 2 thirds restful capacity,

impatient motion invest the people of our party engaged in meetings all day today. as if that motion passes the presidential powers of utah, you are but then immediately be suspended handed over to the prime minister. as the case moves on to judicial review under the constitutional court. there was a further sense of shift and sentiment this week on thursday that is with president . you are came out with a link, the 30 minute speech really defiant in tone. i'm like the apology. he had previously given the circle back to his view that criminal groups had taken over a state of affairs and single without the national election commission saying that it is under north korea and flips these south pre is election, watched on pushing vaccine. that is simply unfounded. and in fact, it just puts to question president use own election victories of 2 and a half years ago, which of course was under one percent margin president. you'd also saying that he

did not order a blockade of parliament on that day. he declares martial law something that runs counter to the testimony we've heard from military officials to talk about the protests because we were watching some pictures earlier on. there was a demonstration at age, which was against the impeachment of president. you appear to be way smaller than the one that we're seeing. not regency, some of those people behind you, which is demanding, of course that he is into. so i believe the police are saying, but 200000 people expected. what is the move in the country at the moment? right, we are seeing a continuous flow of people walking through. you probably see the national assembly about a kilometer out behind the organizers kelly police. they are expecting hundreds of thousands of people to show up to date, including school age children, colleagues on the 13 president of south korea to come down from the tower. so we

will see whether the, what the outcome will be, especially it has the conservative party law makers reportedly have the permission to build their functions units. thank you very much indeed. and roll back us and, and you'll be watching audra 0 inside story is going to be examining of city is new . leadership can be inclusive, save others hello . grab it, jump us this tiny round the cool across much of the middle east. over the next couple of days you can see a fair but a cloud to spilling out. so i took, yeah, i pushing down across the rock into around this, some snow on that as it moves over the high ground, a brisk northwesterly wind setting. and that shamal wind temperatures haven though hard. around 25 celsius on fast the afternoon. it will feel cooler because of the strength of that wind lifted up inside, likely. and then we're struggling to get into the low twenty's as we go through s

sunday. so i don't know if the skies to clear the 2 sales used to having to run, as i said, it does look rather cool right for the next few days trying for right for good parts of the east and met. but we have got some whatsoever moving across greece through the a gene, into that western side of the heavier right. coming in here as we go one through sunday allows you to, i mean, why? because much of north africa, a brisk how much and wins is coming. how to chad misha, eventually pushing into the north of nigeria, around the gulf. it can be of these general dry, as is the case through much of west africa. the shot was a close, like one across central africa. we have a couple sites on sheet, i'm making its way through the mozambique channel, making land full for sunday. the unique perspectives. what could my community be gaining if we weren't spending

money on all of those bonds? killing innocence? and as i said, 11 on, on her voices, the world has turned its back on so that our lives to match. so many people matter just as much as any other connect with our community and be part of the conversation. we feel very unsafe because of the 2nd 12 presidency, they don't see the need and then trying to a piece of people are social media. the stream on out to 0, the freedom and the hope after decades of dictatorship, but syria in space, a future full with challenges and uncertainties to the new leaders have the skills and experience to rebuild the country and ruins. and we live accepted by a series. this is inside store the

hello welcome to the program i'm but next me serious new leadership is promising. justice stability and.
