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. doubtful 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. every one attending the compass 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 spend time talking about understand what the situation is yury and the conviction of so many countries in the region 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 an 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 invading an 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. there was joining us now from occupied. so there's a lot of cautious optimism isn't there, but there's a lot of questions also about having your administration is actually gonna run the serial. what can we expect today over of that, as you said, there are a lot of questions and concerns. and today,

all of those actors, whether it's the error of countries or key in the united states, the european union, they will have to come up with some sort of middle ground. how to deal with this administration will continue to be on the sanctions list. will it, will they be, you know, rushing to the, the aid of the new administration, providing them with the financial and political support they need, or will it be a conditional type of support error countries? and so if you want to see a united syria, they do not want to see syria break up into several countries. while the agenda of other players might not be as clear. of course, maybe there's some agreements on the need for syria not to align itself with other actors in the region. specifically iran, the united states is very keen to make sure that a new syria is cut size with that form or ally of the outside regime. so there are

points where all of these, all of those people meeting today agree on the path forward, seems to still be kind of a big it was and we have to wait and see what kind of agreements they, they come up with specifically on the immediate term will there be assistance? will the length of the sanctions be lifted or e, all of those questions a way to assist today? yeah, no it just as you've been describing there, it is kind of a balancing act and is made between like foreign powers who might want to influence what happens inside syria. and also creating a situation where the syrians get to decide their own future for their own country . what is at stake for settings and the region so much is at stake, syria and syrians have pay. it's such a heavy price over the past 13 years, not just in terms of bloodshed, the mazda displacement, but also their country, their economy, it's in taxes. and the, the balance of social cohesion is so delicate,

after all, those years. the way that the fall in outside there is even use the various sects to put them against one another. the kinds of fears that each of those groups have against one another. they need support in order to rebuild bridges of trust, pressure from one side or another, might affect that it might, scott, all the efforts to maintain cohesion. and in effect, a board that are for that dream of syrians to, you know, come back from the ashes and build the united syria. so what, what those meetings decide today, and i'll come by will have an impact on that. because if a lot of pressure is applied on the new syrian administration, if they're not able to deliver at least the basics to syrians, it will be very difficult to manage the situation moving forward or to convince all the players inside syria that a better future lies ahead, no,

thank you very much indeed. no to day talking to is there from alcohol? a. so meanwhile, industry a multiple explosions have been hired on the capital, damascus. they believed to be is really air strikes. the city of all sway the in the side flights of the country is also being targeted. these really monitoring is being carrying out its largest air offensive. and sylvia in recent memory that says it was attacking strategic miller treat sites, but a strikes commas. thousands of civilians have been out on the streets celebrating on the 1st friday since the fall of the subdivision. although st. celebrations are a symbolic moment to change. less than a week after opposition forces swept into the capital, the head of the new administration, and they'll shut out, is calling on the syrians to unite, so cetera has moved from damascus. the doors of damascus were close to the position for more than a decade. but now with them in church,

us national security advisor james sullivan is traveling to egypt and a final push for a cease fire in guys before president biden. lee's office. the, the on site is ready as drives it ambulances that come with ad one hospital near bad luck. here in northern garza, the area has been under seas for more than 2 months. at least 50 people were killed in multiple attacks across the strep over the past $24.00. united nations, it says israel has stopped dozens of admissions into the north since the siege began 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 out 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. ready stresses at once again, our humanitarian movements must be facilitated across garza, including areas in the north where thousands of palestinians are facing a poke, elliptic conditions after almost 10 weeks under siege. thought i'd call those whom reports from del bala with more on israel's northern seas. as there has been no, any 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 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 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, repeat the cap. so when you divide the scale destruction have been close to the city and to become that 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 goal is to say canton, so one of the latest for rides of attacks took place at the gates of college one hosted so well an ambulance vehicle was targeted and i wouldn't have seen that this vehicle was completely on fire. and this is a part of the systematic attacks on medical sex and even for those m p lenses for

twice a week, the 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 implants is out of service under the same time they are trying to exec move pressure on the medical teams who are still trapped in come on at one hospital, a silver head. and i'll just see the extraordinary pictures coming out of south korea, tens of thousands of people packed into the streets. so we're going to have the latest as the president faces another impeachment function, bonham, the fellow grab the jump us this turning round the cool across much of the middle east . over the next couple of days you can see a habit of cloud to spilling out. so i took, yeah, i pushing down across the rock into around this, some snow on that as it moves. oh,

but the high ground a brisk north west lea. when setting in that shamal, wind, temperatures haven dough heart around $25.00 celsius on fast the often. and it will feel cool because of the strength of that when lifted off the sand, likely. and they were struggling to get into the low twenty's as we go through west sunday. i don't know if the skies do clear the 2 sales use that having to run, as i said, it does look around the co writer, the next few days. try and fright for a good part of the eastern med, but we have to some whatsoever. moving across greece through the gene, into that western side of the some heavier right, coming in here. so you go one through sunday allows you to, i mean, lot of cost much of north africa, a brisk how much and winter's coming, how to chad misha, eventually pushing into the north of nigeria, around the gulf. it can be based on retry, as of the case through much of west africa. the shy was a close, i run across central africa. we have a couple of cycling sheet i'm making it's way through the mozambique channel,

making land full for sunday of the a full year of war in gaza. and now with this really troops invading lebanon are the us in israel working to reshape the entire region. now with trump back in the white house. ready ready in america, expect, and what can the world expand? the quizzical look at us politics, the bottom line. reading eco friendly solutions to come back, dress to our planet. on l g 0, the, the, [000:00:00;00]

the portion i'll just need a reminder of our top stories. those are all eyes are on the new administration in damascus. following the i've singled box shut all i saw on sunday. jordan, which neighbors syria is set to host high and level adults on the political transition them out of diplomats as well as the turkish for them this a fucking to done on the us secretary of state actually thinking i'd expect you to attend so much in jones ports of these 50 kind of things have been killed in multiple sites across the gaza strip over the past 24 hours. it comes as us national security advisor, jake sullivan travels to egypt and a final push for the c sponsors full biden's presidency. and both things underway in georgia is parliament where the ruling party is expected to name a far right loyalist as president. it's going to be the 1st time the politicians rather than the public,

going to be choosing the president moves angered protesters to choose the domini party. i'm looking elections in a row, but that'll be nicely protests for weeks cutting presents so low is due to especially since she's not going to step down until new elections are held between that and come, spoke to her about the political crisis, little squabbles, 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 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 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 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 this. uh or we will enter into

a region that will be more or less the russian regime of 14. and i vote for the president side, successor is getting underway, this demetrius joining us from outside parliament. now let's talk about the process . first of all, these have been going on continuously from 90 days. it is very, very cold there. i know talk to us about what's been going on to well, rob, there's been various levels of unexpected happening this morning. first of all, it is unexpectedly cold. it feels like minus 12. second of all, we've had this happening right now says uh, thousands of people playing football. and you think that this is bizarre, but this is actually a reference to 2 things. at the same time, we've got an ambulance coming in, but the 2 references all kind of calculus really is a football. he's the only one presidential candidates. so people are kind of making a job at that. so, and the 2nd thing that they're doing is that keeping warm,

of course, and this minus 12 temperature, and finally, to a boost of morale, to the people. here was the appearance of the president solomon is that obviously she actually showed up to, to this protest. she had to move out of the way rather quickly because she just got storms by, by people who are very delighted to see her. and andrea, unless, of course, so she had to make extra. hm, let's talk about what's happening in the parliament because a lot of the protests, of course, have be centered on the parliament, nbc, that votes to replace the president is going through at the moment. just tell us what's going on 1st of all, to yeah, they were going to alphabetically through all of the 300 voters that was supposed to vote today. there was some empty seats and the problem is that you could see these are the seats, all the opposition policies never took the mandates and refused to take part in the selection. so important to understand that the parliamentary election and on

october 26th opposition policies disagree with the results. because of how a huge discrepancy there was between the exit polls and the official results. exit polls gave them more than 50 percent and the official results, the kind of invest that, that gave him $38.00 and gave $54.00 to the governing georgia dream policies. so that going through alphabetically, through, through, for everyone. these a georgia dream policy members as well as the representatives of local governments and then uh, most likely will be over quite soon because again, there is only one kinds of mikhail cuz it must be the, the football plan. mm hm. there's a lot of speculation. i think about how the government is actually going to be able to function, even though if it manages to put through this vote for the presidency. and it's not a sense of a claims, but it has a monday to run in the country. nevertheless, as you've been describing to us over the last several days, shoot protests against the government that is going to make it very difficult. one

would imagine for it to get anything done as well, you'd imagine so, but they have been, uh, they have been having meetings in sessions over these past couple of days just yesterday. they've adopted changes to laws on protests, banning anyone from wearing faced mosques from bringing bringing fireworks and from using laser pointers. so basically everything that people have been doing these past the 60 night, 17 days they've, they found that so this could change the dynamic of the process. we might see even more people get arrested. but the government here, we've talked to the georgia dream policy, they believe that, that nothing the wrong that the in the right that they will function the way that they can, if the opposition doesn't want to take the seats. well, it's that choice. this is what they told me. yeah, the reason we were just seeing some pictures there from the they, but part of it there is that vote is going on. obviously, as it goes on,

we're going to be checking back in with you to see how that goes, even though the outcome is pretty much guaranteed to retrieve that for them because they're invoicing. so after being present, use of jewel is facing another impeachment vote in parliament as often as failed debates to impose martial law alley of this month. he survived the 1st and 10th last saturday when most of moving party and peas boy called to the vote. it'd be nearly daily process calling for you to step down since the political crisis began . is kim has more from so there is a sense of cautious optimism this time around it, especially as we've heard from at least 7 conservative lawmakers in the course of this week that they did tend to. i did fax from their official party line and back the in piece room bell it up for both later this afternoon. now that is just one short of the 8 people, tired of party law makers needed to rate that 2 thirds threshold capacity and

patient motion is that the people are party engaged in meetings all day today as is that motion passes the presidential powers of utah. yeah, and then immediately the suspended headed over to the prime minister as a case lose 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 came out with a lengthy 30 minute speech, really defiant in tone. unlike 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. influence the south korea, the election watched on pushing vaccine. that is simply and found it, 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 march at president. you'd also saying that he
