as, as hit the highest level, it almost half a century, counting the cost on the 0. the investigating the use and abuse of power across the globe on that which is era. the story is road to recovery, humanitarian aid of security and reconciliation. top the agenda at high level talks and george the venue, it's good to have you with us. this is elsa 0. live from the also coming up from north to south is really bombardment of the gaza strip. is kills more than 60 people, including children in the past 24 hours. jubilation on the streets of

south korea's capital. so after parliament votes to impeach president eunice appealed the georgias parliament. fix a new president's house or october's disputed general elections in weeks of the allies or on the new administration in damascus. after the toppling of the charlotte's side on sunday, for the 1st time in years, millions of syrians are hopeful for their country's future. and that's the focus of a major global conference being held in jordan on saturday, our diplomats and the turkish foreign minister as well as the us secretary of state . and e u foreign policy chief are attending. earlier, anthony, blinking said the united states will support the story and people as our

determination to work together to support the theory and the transition where the united nations plays a critical role. particularly when it comes to the provision of assistance to the protection of minorities. to all the work that needs to have going forward. so i look forward this opportunity to compare notes with with the young boy and to again think through how we can support the theory and people in this time of both opportunity. but also a real challenge. number of countries are reopening their embassies in damascus now, and that includes turkey a which close this diplomatic post in 2012 because of the war. let's bring in neuro day who joins us live now from aka north. you're really where it's happening today, but it's still a little bit of a mystery as to what exactly is happening. i mean, i understand that all these countries that have an interest and or a stake and syria or getting together. but beyond that,

what can we say that they're actually doing of the well, i mean they're keeping it under close raps, sterile. so we know that there are smaller meetings happening by lateral meetings and maybe even a bit bigger than that. and then all of the parties, the are of foreign ministers, the and state department of the i'm a top diploma of the european union, the u. n. envoy for syria. they will all meet and they will present what they hope to be shared a policy, a shared statement, a vision on syria. they have different interests. they agree on certain things, name least the need for stability and security. we know already that anthony blank can be you. a secretary state met with the you and syria envoy and they talked about the need for the you want to take a role in securing the sides. believe to have been house housing, a subs,

former camp chemical weapons. this would be important for security for syrians and for countries around syria bordering syria. and there are a number of other issues like that where agreements can be found. but it's still unclear whether everybody agrees on how to deal with the new administration in damascus. and i think that's really where the delicate part comes in. what they come up with will decide a lot of things in the coming days and weeks, nor the our correspondence in damascus was telling us that the new story administration does not have a delegation present at these talks, or their lines of communications is this new administration talking to the countries that are gathered where you are an uncle. this is the rights of this syrians are not present then, which is one more irony and all of this. but there are lines of communication open

with very important players who are present at the type like to key and life outside like other arab countries. everybody needs to be in touch with the new administration, whether they were excited about it or not. because there are practical issues at the time, there are nationals for these countries, for example, like iraq and in, at syria, there are syrian refugees in to key it in jordan, in lebanon. so dialogue is a must, it's a political necessity. now the warms of the relations very between one country or another. and it would be logical to say would be accurate to say that some of these countries present to the and i'll come by may represent better or warm more warmly . the views of the new administration in damascus, while others still have a wait and see approach like, uh, the uh,

us administration and like the european union. so again, not, and then not a full alignment of policy or interest. you have also israel, that is the stabilizing of the region according to many extras, bombing, syria occupying more territory era countries. and so if you are very upset with that, they want that to stop. the us doesn't really agree with them. they think that as well can do what it's doing and it is within its right to do so. so still a lot of barts, nick, bartering wheeling and dealing to do. and i'll come by before we hear from them later this afternoon. okay, we look forward to talking to you when you've got more to bring us on. what's happening there? that's no day reporting from aka, but jordan, thank you very much. and there's been increased activity in russia's that are based on the syrian for the city of let's talk. yeah, a convoy of russian military vehicles. as also been seen traveling towards the nearby may mean air base, the moscow has said it is hoping to maintain its 2 military bases in syria,

a good impact to a point that nor was just making as a new syrian administration takes shape. it's going to have to work with several regional and international parties and their interests. so let's run through those . turkey a wants to push back as the fighters from the southern border. they are dominated by the kurdish y, p g on group which entre consist consider as a terrorist organization. turkey also wants to create a safe zone. in northern syria, the us has been supporting the s d f and it's fight against iso. it also seeks to secure oil resources in the east y, limiting the influence of russia and iran. moscow wants to maintain it to access the oil and gas fields, as well as military presence, a long series, mediterranean coastline, iran and 6 to rebuild times with syria and says that it is open to working with the new administration. syria has been central to turnarounds, foreign policy, serving as an important link to allies and 11 on and is a vital supply card or for his blog. and one more. israel is focused on curbing and runs influence and blocking transfers and advanced weapons to has belong in level.

all right, let's talk about this. we're with robert guys playing for the left are in season security at dharm university. so everybody wants something from this new syrian administration, right? the torques wants to contain the kurds. the americans wants to back the cards and contain iso. iran wants to sort of see where it stands now and see if it can limit its losses, etc. we, we just ran through the list, what kinda new administration do, does it now have to offer each of these players what it wants? well, they'll have to find some kind of a compromise for i don't actually think that any of those things will be the administration's new priority. i think the most important exiting priority for this on an administration will be to show that it is the one in charge. it is the one in power and then it can actually work for ordinary syrians. we saw what happened in it. and if h d. s has one praise for not for that, that's the route that isn't

a style of governance, but for the practical technocratic approach to governance. they basically kept the buses running. they've kept the schools open, they've kept a lower node, for example, they're going to want to show a series throughout the country that they can do that because that is the past, the legitimacy. we've seen that other countries like iraq, like libya. i've been sergent, see really, really gains theme and really threatens a new leader or ruler will regime once the ordinary people feel like that lives a worse off now than they were under the previous administration. so as much as a staff has to deal with all of these external demands, there's a strong internal constituency is as well lied. i think h d s will have to speak to that address. those concerns before doing anything. the instructional community wants it to. so right to be a sub family has fled and a sides prime minister has now stepped aside in favor of a new prime minister that comes from h d s right from it live. in fact, he was in charge of it. yeah, yeah. yeah. it is that kind of, it works to just say,

i'm removing the top man, talk to you count the prime minister. everybody else go back to your jobs, keep doing what you were doing, run the country as you were running it before, cannot work. well, this is fascinating. now we've seen, for example, series un and busted a was appointed by the others. yeah. he's still the ambassador and he's been making statements to the you and on behalf of of the new government. and when days ago, he was making statements to you in on behalf of a side. right. exactly, exactly, and that's the strange reality that we find ourselves in at the moment. he stands all bringing in people for me to live, not just have it. i appreciate that. the, the new prime minister, they will say, boston administrators even policeman, for example, that keen to get that people on the ground. but they also have to make sure that they don't end up throwing the baby out with the bath water as the expression goes . and basically getting rid of all of the previous received infrastructure that was to get syria is a mess. it is broke. it is dependent on a rating oil to function. we seen huge cues of petrol station today because syrians

of worried the, the oil and gas, the going to run out. so all of these things are on the horizon, which means the h t. s. has no choice, but to lean on previous government, administrators and bureaucrats. and that also, that's a good way to keep them on site by the way, i think is a why is a strategy that simply firing the more at creating a power vacuum and creating resentment. roughly, what's the population of syria roughly? well, mean it's hard to tell now because we've had the utilities for example, but the point here is that it's the population of siri is going to get a lot bigger. you know, we're going to have a refugee, we're telling you, told that about tokyo once it gets sites. so it knows and syria. yeah, she already has a say. so in order to say, we have it, say what it calls a secure with these i would, it doesn't want to, it wants to expand it and haven't legitimize why, because it wants to get rid of over to the millions of to, of syrian refugees in turnkey. because that point, inconsiderable economic stress on the country that so you've not,

i mean you have to think about the current top lation to see where the people that says there was a moment. but you're going to think. but you also have to take a look at the millions that were sending. and again i, i, there was, you know, i think is, i don't a draw us back to iraq every time. this is also something that was on everyone's busy 1003 millions of iraqi refugees came back from their run and they were welcomed. but then soon they were actually a social resent. it was because people thought they were stealing supplies, that they were drain on resources. and indeed, you know, the coalition couldn't keep the power on. it couldn't keep the water running. so no matter how many schools they, we furbished or clinics they opened, they couldn't keep the st secure. and they couldn't give people what they want it and rob guys tenfold, always a pleasure to talk to you. thank you very much. thank you. the

israel has carried out a wave of attacks across the gaza strip targeting a school and buildings, housing displaced, palestinians, injured volume, northern gauze. the rescue workers pulled bodies from the rubble with their hands is really strikes, have killed, at least 50 people in the past 24 hours. and israel has laid siege to northern garza for more than 2 months blocking the entry of food and medicine while also bombarding the area. the united nation says the military has stopped more than a 100 humanity or emissions into the north. since the siege we get 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. ready 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. us national security advisor jake sullivan is in egypt as part of a final push to reach a ceasefire and gaza before president joe biden leaves office. he met with the egyptian president of the policy in cairo where they discussed the ceasefire and a deal for the release of captives sullivan was also in israel and guitar. earlier this week is really forces of shot and killed one palestinian during a raid in the occupied west. back the army targeted a residence south west of hebron, sparking confrontations with palestinian fighters is really forces also carried out several other res, across the occupied territory. and elsewhere in the occupied westbank clashes broke out between palestinian authority forces and palestinian fighters in the janine

refugee camp spokesperson says the authority is trying to maintain security, public order, and law enforcement. still a head on al jazeera heading home, following the fall of the assad regime, thousands of refugees are. we're turning the in depth analysis of the days headlines. what are we supposed to read pins through the use of this? and you miss 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. in october 2023

. these raise the ministry of intelligence, proposed the forcible and permanent transfer of palestinians from because the street, the people in power, those just the history of the amount of spinning and displacement. and explores whether clearing palestinians from because the occupied west bank is ready to transfer on in jersey hearing the combination of violent war and the heavy rain creating a recipe for more suffering for palestinians. i'll just see you as teens across the world when you close to the house with the story, the, the the,

you watching else 0 reminder of our headlines. this our talks on serious political transition after the tumbling of the assad government are set to get underway, enjoyed our diplomats, as well as the turkish foreign minister. and the us extra states are expected to attend to the south. korea's parliament has voted to impeach, president even suck your the impeachment motion. the 2nd brought in as many weeks by the opposition passed with 204 votes in favor to 85 against their vin celebrations on the streets of. so we're demonstrators have been staging near daily process calling for you and to step down and ask for his fail. marshall law declaration last week, which is 0 is rob mcbride, looks back on humans, tenure and at a president who's baffled scandal and lo, approval ratings. since taking office in may just 2 years ago,

a full the high flying public prosecutor who rose to the office of prosecute a general of south korea. you're in sick. jo now finds himself full and from grace and potentially on the wrong side of the law. following his ill fated attempt at imposing martial toner and things, i declare martial law to protect the free republic of korea from the threats of north korean communist forces. he had played a key role in convicting full the president. leave young back and then talk young. hey, who had been coming broiled in scandal and was forced out to of office of to large scale street protests in 2017 units of done to pox liberal successive mood j. and until disagreements led to his resignation. setting himself up was a popular choice. among conservatives, to run for president himself. in march 2022, he won the presidential race by the slimmest of margins. the 1st elected president

to be pulled off to the end of fighting in the korean war. when he came into office, you was seen to socially conservative domestically and whole case, strong foreign policy taking a tough stand against north korea and the much friendly position towards japan than his previous s is. his approval ratings quickly plummeted. made was by his perceived hard line tendencies as well as domestic scandals involving himself on the 1st lady came gun. he a post showing that parliamentary elections earlier this year left him a week. and apparently believing who by martial law was his only option. people, uh, you know, obtain be a very strong impression that it is to risk you to get the present in the office. the guy seems like the president does not have the real sense of reality,

totally disconnected with the rest of the society, whatever his political ambitions it is that short lived attempt at martial law that will become his legacy. rob mcbride, i'll just say era, so we can speak live now the rob, who was in the parliament building, and so where the a peach meant was passed. the impeachment motion was passed just a couple hours ago. rob the now impeached president has been speaking. what did he say or yeah, that's right. so he has given a show a pre recorded address. it came just very shortly after he heard that he had been in peace and compared with the, the, the, the scale of the political crisis, the biggest constitutional crisis that, that could be received and the number of decades. it was a strangely low key. he spoke about his journey since coming into taking power 2 and a half years ago about his various achievements on domestically in terms of the economy

politically and diplomatically on the world stage and relations with that. some of south korea's allies and so on. but then saying that his, the journey sofa has come up once he pretend as a pause and it's strangely, i would say, i just think we'd previous statements. he's been given recently until just a couple of days ago. he was very defiant in his defense of the actions that he told me saying that he was working within the constitution. he had no choice, he said, but to a try to impose martial law. so it does seem strange they and i'm to think with that with that active defiance. and then he is also going to fight this fight both the impeachment and also the post prospect of criminal actions. but it does um, it is interesting seeing how his fortunes have changed just in a very a very short week with the people pap potty his party a week ago standing by him and,

and the railing of boats to impeach him this this time seeming to break ranks and we all now hearing in fact that his people policy just seemed to have broken the leadership does seem to have been broken off as a result of this that would be in various consequences that we're going to be st playing out as a result of this decision here, this saturday evening of this impeachment in politics both domestically but also on the international. see what is really interesting, what you're saying about how is not entirely surprising, but interesting that this could fragment fracture the, the president's party. you said the president has vowed to flight the impeachment, how exactly does he do that? because it's, as i understand it, no longer in his hands. right? so this now goes to the constitutional court, which has to uphold this decision, or to kind of attend that decision in the short history of democracy in south career. it's only 4050 years old. it has to be remembered. that's the 3 presidents

have been impeached, and one of those impeachment was actually over ton that they at this, that constitutional court. so a union has pledged to fight against it. we've also heard that he's going to try and fight against all of these criminal charges. a, the charges of insurrection, a look likely to be filed against him over i'll be considered against him by a number of different to offices and agencies. in this, as far as the democratic policy is concerned, as the leading opposition group here we've heard from the floor speaker. they have said that this is just the 1st step that is from here. they want, what they want to see is now criminal investigations of president you rob, thank you very much for your reporting throughout all of this that solutions here as rob mcbride reporting from just outside the national assembly and so in georgia is ruling party have elected me if i had a couple ashley as the country's new president,

he was the only candidates on the ballot and a vote that was put to politicians rather than the public. the opposition has boycotted parliament, the middle weeks of nationwide protests over the outcome of legislative elections in october houses 0 between method ankle joins is from outside parliament in policing. dmitri this result, not exactly a surprise, that's what you told us was expected. and after all, it wasn't voters, as we just said, it wasn't the regular george in voters voting for this president. this was some, some form of the electoral college of the. yeah, which has nothing to do with the american electoral college. this is a group of 300 people actually 225 showed up because as you said, opposition parties, boy costs at this procedure, they've been boy causing everything since the parliamentary election. on october 26 . they never took their seats and parliament never took their mondays. so the final cover last really has been elected george's 6th president in a procedure which was organized by the central actual administration of georgia who

had no reservations about the fact that his name was the only one in the ballots. so we had 225 voters coming in. these are lawmakers off to the 2017 amendments to the constitution. it is no longer a public vote, but a vote by this lecture or college. so also of $225.00, only one person devoted against by throwing an empty pallets into the box. it was a representative of the pause yes, region of georgia. she made a speech before doing that, saying that she disagrees with this candidate. and therefore, she's not going to vote for him and dropped an empty pallets. so on the 29th of december, because it was really will be in no get rated as a georgias presidency. but at the same time, the country will have 2 people claiming that the president, because the outgoing presence of them is that i've seen a hard time expires on december 29th. she has said she's not leaving until there is

a legitimate president. those were her words in an interview that we had with her on friday between the different people out protesting nbc, uh, pretty much since the there there been multiple rounds of protests since those general elections, which the protestors say were rigs. they say russia helped this government and the ruling party steal these elections. that is their claim. it is day 17, i believe now of ongoing protests outside the apartment building. and as you just said, the president, when you interviewed, says she's not leaving office. where is this all going? again, as i said, it looks like there's going to be 2 people saying that they are president. and it's going to be a country divided into supporting this whole that kind of it as the legitimate president. this will that person as limited president because of the opposition assets that they're gonna spend with the solomons that obviously that the because

again, they believe everything that has happened since october 26. when the problem entry election happens, is nolan voice because this government, as they say, is illegitimate, just to give you context, there was a big contrast between exit polls and the final results. and therefore, opposition parties. parties did not accept this result and did not take the seats. so yes, it is day, 17 people here trying to keep warm as much as they can. it is the coldest day that he has seen this season so far. and so people play football, this is a job given us be to be a former football plan and the trying to keep them as much as they can as around a 1000 people are right now in front of funding, which is 0 has to be committed, ankle reporting fund lisa you as always, thank you very much for your reporting retreat and that does it for me. so then a whether is next on alpha 0. and then inside story will look at the transition in syria with a new leadership feet inclusive,

and will it be recognized by world powers? that's the question inside story will be probing to stay with the the hello, the weather remains pretty quiet. it's across lots of china. we have got some wind fee flowers just floating with the korean peninsula. but i think the, the, we have to whether the more live the weather will be once again across the good parts of a western and northern japan. so we have called the winds coming in from a north west, the direction they will back off of a westerly direction as we go through sunday. but that's still going to throw some rob a heavy uh, best of rain to snow across so that part of japan. and it's

a similar picture as we go on into monday bryce cars come back behind. we're looking at to allows you to either mr. folk, of course, it's a good part of that china penny a fault, add smoke across mold in areas of india into pockets done. we have got this west and established which will make its way into the funnel. the west of the reasons we go through the next couple of days. so that should just lift some of that at least, and move them areas of the punky stuff down into the south. really heavy rain coming in here. pushing into washer lanka into the fall. se of india as well. that's not of any right across the middle east. the really, the next couple of days is going to be the lowering temperatures. and even here in doha, we will struggle to reach 19 degrees celsius on monday of the story of love. this section loves and, and is right,

is fine operating on the div cover in serious knowing that discovery would make such and out you 0. well, tell us a gripping story most that's by coming operated on the cover in syria, in the 1960 days just career that ended in public execution. eli cohen, most of the agents on al jazeera, the freedom in the hope, after decades of dictatorship but searing space. a future fault with challenges and uncertainties to the new leaders have the skills and experience to rebuild the country in ruins and really backs up to 5 o series. this is inside store the

hello welcome to the program. i'm furnace smith. serious new leadership is promising justice stability and.
