a with h t, as they need to have a dialogue with them understand where they're going to take syria next and how they're going to do it. because what happens in syria master is not just the syrians, it affects the entire region and it could really change a lot of things. this is almost on charter territory. the outside the regime was in power. the fed dynasty has been in power for basically half a century old, the rules of the game that once with that dynasty are now gone. and there's a new play book and everybody's trying to figure out what is going to be. indeed. okay, no for the moments, many things in defense, the latest that from aka. well let's look at the northern syria now with this hope i'm concerned and small. yes, easy villages off of the full of us on raising. talk about forces have taken nearly all of the areas west of the fight. he's with us and us, but kurdish fighters of the finding a vast network of tunnels of southern binge, of it has been talking to the fighters and civilians in the city of long beach well

shown truth. so they've drawn targets and administer to building new northern serious victory, and these are being operated by turkish linked fighters called the city. and next allow me on the other side or us and encourage fight is known as the sodium democratic forces. the 2 are operating drawn. these 2 sides have continued to fight here in northern syria, despite the fall of the assad government, them damascus. and for the 1st time since the uprising begun and 2011 the turkish back fighters if they can, nearly all of the areas rest of the euphrates river side full lot nicknamed a bucket. used to be an intelligence officer using the shot on the sides regime for the defective to the opposition. once the uprising big on, you know, needs a fighting force which spearheaded recent operations and could just tell the traffic and my beach brigade, he needs seems to care. could they fight this all the way to the rocky go to the

local? that won't be no ceasefire. until every p, k, k member is completely removed from syrian territory. we are not fighting on behalf of anyone else. our mission is to eradicate terrorism from syrian soil. the turkish back fight is found an underground city, me and my beach. some of these tunnels are 7 meters high and run for dozens of kilometers and connect with other to the networks. this network of time continues in either direction for a few kilometers according to the site as they've gone through and cleared these tunnels. as they say, monday was an important stronghold for the kurdish forces. many emb beach accused the former regime of b k. k fight is a foss, spring, state and division amongst the diverse communities which have lived in peaceful coexistence for generations. and that's still the case from jobless to a free and 20 to 20 villages sitting easy. these have raises generations, unlike the persecuted minority,

and there are not many outside sylvia know about these villages, some of which are more than a 100 years old. 62 years. ready press sheets into it says he's lived in fear for much of the last few decades. his only son had to feed the country and make a dangerous journey to europe, to escape, besides, on these orders to fight the opposition that he hopes those days are gone. now is the am and is our lives have changed under the syrian regime and the p k. k. malicious living conditions, a different i think we are now heading towards freedom and democracy. and that's going to take is crucial for peace in northern syria with us and thirty's back quite as still competing for control some of the driving down to the beach area. the . let's take a look at some of these now, and they've been celebrations on the streets of sol web demonstration as well. comes the news that present june sockhill has been impeached. south chris,

i've been staging the daily protest, quoting for you and to step down off to his failed marshal no declaration last week . impeachment motion. the 2nd brought by the opposition passed with 204 votes in favor to 80. 5 against mcbride is covering up this from sol. it was a dramatic reversal of political fortunes. a week before president june, so kills governing potty had stood with him to railing parliaments, 1st impeachment vote. in this, the 2nd enough members broke ranks to seal his fate as president to the suspension of the president's duties was urgently needed. and throughout the process, we only thought of the country ended. the people south korea has been embroiled in political turmoil since humans controversial position at marshall more nearly 2 weeks ago. given the scale of the biggest constitutional crisis in decades. his

acceptance of his impeachment, for it seemed to low key to him to go to tom shupe them. though i must pause our journey towards the best of future, which i have worked with. the people for the past 2 and a half years must never stop or in recent days you and has been defiantly defending his actions, an apparent failure. reconciliation that may have made him more enemies on the fact that the most more was imposed only for 6 hours and then and then the then person union voted, highlights how the democracy in south korea is very much working is alive and well . president june has now been suspended, but remains in office pending a decision by the constitutional court in south korea is relatively short history as a democracy unit. so y'all is only, that's the president to be impeached. one of those decisions was over a ton at the constitutional court that will now consider this ruling

a new and has promised to find no telling the impeachment, but also potential criminal charges against him. for south korea is opposition parties. this impeachment brings close to the prospect of criminal charges against you for insurrection. seeking some data on september to december, 3rd, in the direction crisis has not yet been resolved. the suspension of use took your the ring leader is merely the 1st step toward the dressing. the situation with investigate is still trying without success to search his offices. the now we peach, the president to you is formal vulnerable to the multiple agencies closing in on him. robin fried, i'll just say era. so george's governing policy has like to is mikhail cover liability as the country's new president, who was the only candidate from the palace and a vote that was put to the politicians rosalyn to the public health physician. his boy accosted parliament after weeks of nationwide protest against the outcome of

october. let's of elections. dmitri mend. vanco has been following events from outside george's parliament building into lucy. and has this update the form of football plants and politicians, mikhail covey, unless really has been elected george's 6th president election, which was organized by the central, but actual administration of georgia, which had no reservations about the fact that his name was the only one on the ballast, this was not a public boat. this was a committee of voters consisting of members of parliament and representatives of the regions and the governments of votes. again, a total of $225.00 people in parliament taking part in this vote. and 224 voted in favor of mikhail kevin speedy is only one woman who said that she was not happy with this candidate and therefore dropped an empty pallets into the box. now

this means that on december 29th, when the current president, i saw them is that obviously these a to expires because unless really will be inaugurated president. but there will be 2 people saying that they are the president of georgia because solomon's that obviously has said that she is not stepping down until there is a legitimate president. she just like composition policies have said that everything that has happened off to the october 26th election into parliament is no and void because they did not accept the results of that parliamentary election to be submitted in co, out to 0 policing and east. and you claim fighting has intensified as russian forces make slow yet study games. but should agent be important? the town of paul groves is vital from both sides and russian forces all approaching the outskirts was hopeless, has moved from the ukrainian capital cave. dawning book crossed the sound of battle

close by for months, the ukrainian tone has been the focus of russia's attempts to take the region. both sides have sent thousands of soldiers and hundreds of tanks into a fight, and both sites have been could heavy losses of 12 months long stalemate, russian units of inch forward now within 2 kilometers. tell inside the cross cuz a little bit deserted electricity, gas and water being cut. the people population of 60000, now down to a home full. and they to plan to leave. by using the word that we will leave tomorrow while call good talk. these are still running, the russians have already positioned themselves behind our house in the forest that one of the off kilometers away. that's how it says the situation is critical for the ukrainian defenders across because of michael wrote a rail junction, we have a controls, it controls the region. russian forces a desperate to take it and have committed hundreds of tanks and thousands of additional troops in an attempt to drive the ukrainians out of the town in the

capital. keep people wait anxiously for the news. what if it to some of we are afraid about puck troughs off to that it might go to the neat pro. next stop or reach. yeah, these are all lines and all people say they are staying the it is very painful. let's keep the rock heavy metal, steven, the general stuff admits it, though it says the situation is controlled, but it is very difficult to holds the positions their pressure is mounting on ukraine is being squeezed all along the vast front line as russian forces advance in the north and the east russia takes for crossing. it's going to be a serious loss for ukraine. a significant set back for his military, and the psychological blow for its people, for the ukrainian defenders that time is running out. alex could topless, which is 0. cave a fresh present time manual my call has appointed a centrist to ally as prime minister as he tries to end a political crisis,

which i've lost it for months from 12. i will have seen it seeing here on the right of faces. michelle bonnie, who is interested in the parliamentary, no confident side of his plans for an starsky. punch it fires has acknowledged the breaking the police pull. deadlock is what he describes as him a name toss. i mean so lucy is a political i list them. he explains false ones by ruth relationship with president and the annual maximum a by do is uh, what is uh, a political figure that supported my quote um, since the beginning of his political career. and actually he always he, he, oh, he was of my current before the before much so even developed his boy to ideas. people often compared my quote to buy will because barrel was a central figure. well, sometimes a light was socialists in an opportunity to stick your way without sharing their beliefs. but anyway, it was also very conservative,

very close to the right. uh and um, a centrist party. uh, always had this uh, this uh, this way of doing fully takes uh, by analyzing every situation and align with their best interest. the less not try to influence uh, buy was, they know it's a law school. however, the far right and uh, and that's what we learned from the new governments the far right can get results with my kids as michelle buttons. he did his best to. so despite the far right that he, he asked them what they needed and meet the own, delivered on almost every occasion. so um, nothing is really changing. uh, between botany is uh, tactics and by it was tactics. i believe he will lean on the far right. he will need the far right to govern, and that means sharing most of their ideas in his platform and in his government to to start lines a that we are waiting for the jo damian, for

a minister and others to give us statements to the media and ask about in georgia, the following meetings discussing the political transition in syria. they are for them, for them is already issued a joint statement that is saying that the group supports a peaceful, political transition in syria, in which also the school functions are represented as an inclusive transitional governing 40 be established that will move the country towards what it calls a new political system statement, emphasizes the need for an immediate hold to own ministry operations in the country . and it caused the collective commitment to strengthen the fight against terrorism, saying it poses a threat to syria and to the security of the region. and that's bringing back nor dave. she's joining us live from acrobat the noise we're waiting to hear from these 4 minutes is we're expecting them still a little bit more on me about these common points. these points of alignment

amongst the arab nations on syria of the yeah, quite a few lines of alignment here between the arab states, a secure syria stable celia is in the interest of all it's neighbors who have been touched and affected by the 13 years of civil war, many of them suffering the spill over of violence, of the presence of arms, groups of the resurgence of isis as well. so iraq has a, has a lot to say on the side of jordan as well to key also. and it has its eyes on the, you know, curtis minority and syria. it doesn't want to see an independent for dis, they break away from syria and on. it's northern uh, on its southern border rather in northern, at syria. so a lot of points that the error of states were trying to reiterate to highlights in order to also help them in the days and weeks ahead to talk to the international

community to try and bring much needed support to the new syrian administration. because without that support, it will be very difficult for any recovery to begin and without the recovery, then syria risk flipping possibly into chaos. and so it's almost a catch $22.00 error countries needing to come together and to bolster and syrians in their efforts to recover in these very, very delicate, crucial days and weeks ahead. laura, no, just focus there a little bit. the role that the us is playing here because of course, is critical to the new administration of syria receiving international legitimacy. we know that the key rebel group h to us is on a terrorism list. if fail to give the administration this legitimacy, what does the us expect and what time a yeah,

us support comes with a lot of strings attached to us swans assurances that the new syrian administration won't have warm relations with a ron or even with russia, which still has military bases, i'll be of reports indicates that rush, i may be pulling out some of its military assets from the country. it wants to assurances that the new administration in syria won't respond to is rarely a bombardment. if these over the past few days is real, have almost decimated old military assets in syria, it has reset. i pushed the reset button on syria and defense. it is, is have a know that this engagement agreement with syria taken over the buffer zone gone further beyond the buffer zone. so, occupying even more, syria and territory. this is very they, the stabilizing as far as syrians and eric countries are concerned. but the united states is not budging on this issue. it is supporting israel on that and it wants

to assure and says that damascus is willing to play on based on those rules. and we'll have to wait and see what happens next. syria, of course, the new administration has launched a complaint sending letters to the un calling on the organization to, to stop that aerial bombardment and to stop the incursion into syria and territory . okay. nor dave for the moment, many thanks in day experience. the very latest that from acrobat in jordan as good now to damascus that we can speak to alex who is mohammed file. he is my 1st in the syrian capital, and i mean, the new administration hasn't got a delegation exactly by itself at this meeting in jordan, but it is watching it close the what's it hoping the meeting will achieve to the lower almost everything they are expecting almost everything from those integration is

not on the phone with the integrations, but also from the countries behind them. they want those countries to different on the promises they are going to help syria to support this transition. so that city, i can imagine from that we've done this from the 50 years of oppression, 50 years of j, of 6 years of a law from us and of tyranny. the people of syria also, they have high hopes and they are watching and listening both to them new leaders and also to those in that age and in the international community will have pledged and promised to help syria emerge from, from its situation. uh, the new government is value also and its own to organize its own house. they are talking to a separate and policies, all the policies actually in the country. fine. so make sure that they are, that they can build a new governments of national unity over the constitution for the next 3 months of

transition, before a new constitution can be approved or a or voted. and that they say a long side also security, maintaining security, making sure payoff does not happen again in the country uh, helping the economy 5 to provide services. so they are trying to do what they can do, what i to know, why i'm the, it's a national community does, it's share of this huge falls because this huge effort of how big cities out of its situation and have a defensive happen. so fall, stay for the past week, the in serial. what changes we already see of the rights load up. we have notice that people have and you said surprised that's key and also about benefits and the results include think the willingness to talk to express

themselves. this is something that they said they have been forbidden to do over the last, not only the last 14 years, but the last 50 years. people even within their own household sale, own families. they weren't able to talk even to the bosses deposit or father to son . busy mother to daughter, they can't talk politics, they cancelled even a whole range of other things, the public affair as far as those on so on in the states today we have all of these . but what do we ask people about the exchange rate? whether we can buy with that or any other kind of see, they said no, no, yeah, yeah, you can do it in the fall. so you could in a few days ago, you couldn't no fee, but people got stuck even a boss cut off this industry because that was for me to know it's open and they, once they come to us, they want to talk and they want to deal. and thinks that they have, they happen to be able to them. and then as a social 5, there is a sense of freedom to do what they got. and they tell us the hours of that comes the willingness to work better to work harder for the nation. and for themselves,

and they are sure that if this situation of this problem is, is delivered, the problem is of freedom of security and got on to now go to the big city, i can. okay. mom involving the view that from damascus. thanks very much mohammed united nations security council is expected to meet on choose the a members. we'll discuss a series of political and humanitarian situation. and if i'm missing the serial number for the sense, and that's a criticizing as well strikes on his country, it has on there has moved from the un 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 now 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, new so in administration says it has found a warehouse storing illegal drugs on the outskirts of damascus. vices have discovered thousands of highly addictive pills. gold caps are going as many with parts inside electrical equipment or him inside fruits. they have a shot of assad government has repeatedly denies any ties to the in special, illegal drug trade. but it was a case of profiteering from the production and the sale of comp to them a copy of and for a for about this is how they wrapped them and send them to countries abroad. these are these drugs,

they're sending them to saudi arabia to the entire gulf. this is how they're loading trucks with them. how on roads as an adjunct assistant professor at georgetown university and she explains why the production and sale of cop to whom the so crucial vs advising. it wasn't just a trade, it was really an industry and alyssa industry for the sod regime. and it was very clear that they used that as an alternative for revenue streams to really bypass the effects of sanctions and even create a political tool that they could use at the negotiation table for normalization, with its counterparts and the middle east. we estimate that the cops are going trade accounting for both seized and, and seized pills really at its peak in 20222023 was around $10000000000.00 per year. now from those prophets, it's estimated by the syrian observatory for political and economic networks that the, that the regime and regime aligned individuals and networks profited for a,

with about $2400000000.00 per year. over the course of 3 years. it's around $7000000000.00, and that is pretty outsized when an impressive, when we look at, for example, the listed exports of the syrian economy, these individuals and these uh, key elements of the syrian regime. we're 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. they were able to cover up these major manufacturing sites. and it was always asserted that there was no production whatsoever inside of syria. and then of course, the regime just fell just days ago. and immediately in the aftermath, we've already found $2.00 to $3.00 large scale production sites. in addition to trafficking centers, staging centers and warehouses, it's very clear that the regime manipulated data, they manipulated arrest numbers. they manipulated caesar numbers in order to create

this narrative, that there was no production whatsoever, and that they were trying to crack down on this trade and that they didn't have control over it. it was also very clear that the regime one for sorrow, assad not personally, have many connections to top to bottom manufacturing sites. and there was no, you know, immediate and clear directive from bush sharyl aside himself. his brother in law hare, who, of course, also operated in and commanded the 4th armored division along with this series of other high level officials that were part of the 1st armored division military intelligence director at the air force intelligence director at and t. business figures in syria is a commercial sectors. just before we go, let's bring you a look of damascus that in syria we can see the city going about is it's usual business that seems completely normal that we've been seeing fireworks less of in

the sky. some celebrations following yesterday. huge crowds coming out. so i'm to friday pres, celebrating a new unity of syria. at least this will be due administration once for this the country. it is a highly function country with many different rebel groups fighting throughout syria's, but seen that yet, civil war, astonishing something full of depression, aside by j seamless on sunday, dictates, and his family room area for more than 50 years. we've also keeping an eye on events in georgia and that we've been seeing meetings of the, our foreign ministers in the tucker departments or as well as the e u, the us and the u. n. barrels. looking at serious political transition pulling for a smooth transition following the toppling of the side regime. that's it for me for a. a the baka is handling the

in the us is always of interest to people. all right, the world, this has been going on for a number of hours. you got the surprise, but you see the report 3400 connected perspective to try to explain to global audience why it's important to impact the lives at the height of the storm. water was still high by hey, this is an important part of the world. people pay attention to this very good bringing the news to the world from here in october 2023. these raising ministry of intelligence proposed the forcible and permanent transfer of palestinians from because the strip, the people in power goes into the history of the amount of spinning and displacement. and explores whether tearing palestinians from us as the occupied west bank is, is range to transfer on and just the

the limit to how far a dream continue to study in your own adventure. now counter arrange

the, the, [000:00:00;00] the hello. this is the news on the bulk of life and doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes, the scramble for influence to western and regional diplomats beat in jordan to discuss. serious political transition is where the forces kill the mass of central gases. biggest cities there are above and then as trying on a government building at least 10 of those who killed
