5:02 am
international diplomats to discuss all matters relating to syria. and what comes next, agendas converge, tearing aka, but they didn't always overlaps a hair of states, formulated a united position beside that to now our message is clear. we all stand with the brother at least 2 young people and will do what we can to help syrians build the future that leads to a life of security, dignity, and stability that they were deprived from for many years. i'm lucky. they've voice the same concerns. so we have just now we also talked about the negative is really role and the importance of stopping is really aggressions on syrian territory and withdrawing from the buffer zone it has occupied so in flagrant violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement to key it also led to wait till the new syria international community should provide security. it was necessary to political support and humidity and assistance. us maintained a cautious tone,
5:03 am
while opening direct lines of dialogue with damascus. we agreed that the transition process should be showing led into a, you know, and produce and inclusive and representative government. the rights of australians, including minorities and women, should be respected. uh yes, we've been in contact with h t s. and with other parties, the hugh and special envoy to syria is optimistic. his organization has international backing to work with all syrians. i think what we are seeing is, uh, really we call unified international community. this is on charter territory for them at least, an old players understand the risks to achieve transitional justice and rebuild state institutions. the new administration in damascus will need international support that doesn't upset the delicate social balance of the country. it's a balancing act that could make or break the promise of
5:04 am
a prosperous future for syria. that all day i'll just eat a couple. jordan or james jeffrey served his special envoy to the global coalition to defeat isis in syria. he was also formerly the us and basset, or to iraq enter key. he explained what role washington is looking to play in shaping the future of syria. i think you should take the statement seriously about the future of syria as a political process led by the international community, particularly the u. n. and get beat as i spoke under resolution 2254 for a uh, uh, free uh, integrated, inclusive, uh, sherry or that does not exclude people or press anyone. beyond that, the united states is looking for continued pressure on these longer state to keep a ram that is now out of syria. outage syria permanently in particular,
5:05 am
it supply lines to hezbollah and 11 on environment. resolution. 17 o one and the latest i live in i'm cease fire and also in the united states wants to see chemical weapons secured outside and, and in missing people, including the american general sebastian price for time. beyond that, however, the us as a general goal of ensuring that the interest of the various outside players that strictly israel and error stage are taken into consideration and neither rub up against each other are impact curious sovereignty. that means a plan for all foreign courses. any country including americans to eventually be it is rarely tanks are now stationed in towns and villages in serious south west. that's after the israeli military expand and its occupation of the syrian goal on
5:06 am
heights following the collapse of the said regime. once also the board has more from when a throw in south western syria. no. how about let's open a large approval. that to be sure to go with the he done few more because of him half of us were at the center of kinetic governor, right in the south western part of syria. so here is really military tanks meet incursions into a number of nearby villages and towns. i'll meet the city is that the end of the street and that's where and is really tank is positioned, is really tanks and vehicles that destroyed damage streets. as you can see, they've cut down the trees on both sides of the road and destroyed electricity pull lost it. i've called her blah, blah, blah, blah. so we did a heavy snap and we didn't well, but death. and that these really asked residents to evacuate the cities and towns which they have been to us. but when a large number of residents refused to leave, is really forces destroyed water supply networks and power lines. in a deliberate attempt to cut off life support to these areas so that presidents
5:07 am
would lead connecticut them with, with what the judge have to. and so that you did yesterday, the forces of these really occupation conducted a maneuver and to an empty command center of the syrian military. they passed through this road into the command center and conducted the search operations as per eye witness accounts for these really forces search for weapons in these areas . they conducted their military operations with support from the is really air force as every now and then we hear the sound of more planes above. so, you know, probably about a sub last month, a sort of woods jersey or how the clinical has been has made its 1st public comments since it's long time allied, but shot it a said was toppled the groups leader. i am pausing says it's too early to outline the armed groups positioned on the transitional government in syria. awesome, also acknowledged as well as last. it's military supply route through syria. you know, especially at a physical loss. yes. has the law has lost its line of communication through syria, but such a loss is just
5:08 am
a minor detail in our existence. the new regime can restore such a line of communication, where we could find other routes, the resistance as flexible. but the important thing is for the resistance to continue tactics. pathways, routes can always shift and change, and the resistance needs to be adaptable to the situation. a benefit, even a syrians continue to celebrate in damascus. fighting is still happening in other parts of the country in the north, the turkish bacteria, national army and kurdish fighters back by the us are competing for control. some bunch of age spoke to fighters and civilians caught in the conflict in the city of mind which well they've drawn targets and administrative building near northern serious district. and these are being operated by target shooting titus called the city. and that's the allow me on the other side are us getting kurdish fighters? no one of the serbian democratic forces. they too are operating on these 2 sides
5:09 am
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 in 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 sobs regime for the defective to the opposition. once the uprising big, you know, needs a fighting force which spearheaded recent operations in good detailed rough i've and my beach brigade. he needs things to pay. i could teach 5 just all the way to the get off the board. a lot of that will 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 black fight is found an underground city, me and my beach. some of these tunnels are 7 meters high and run for dozens of can i meet this and connect with other 10 the networks. this network of done with
5:10 am
continuous in either direction for a few kilometers according to the site that they've gone through and cleared these tell us they face monday was an important stronghold part of the kurdish forces. many emb beach accused the former regime con, p k. k fight is a force spring state and division amongst the diverse communities here which of live in peaceful coexistence for generations. and that's still the case from jobless to a free in 2220 villages sitting easy. these have raised 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 old or sheets in doses. 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, he hopes those days are gone. now the am and is our lives have changed under the
5:11 am
syrian regime and the p. k. k. malicious uh, living conditions are 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. so i'm gonna be driving down to the, the beach area, the and central gaza and is really strike. is it a municipal building in the city updated by at least 10 palestinians have been killed, including the local mayor, dozens of injured people who've been rushed to it. up to the hospital, overwhelmed health workers. there have limited supplies and say they're struggling to provide adequate care for their north is really air strikes on a school in gaza. city of killed 7 palestinians. children were among the casualties

5:18 am
[000:00:00;00] the, you're watching out 0, a reminder of our top stories. this our top western and regional diplomats have met in jordan to discuss serious future. they called for peaceful and inclusive political transition. foreign ministers also demanded that israel pull out of it the militarize zone along the syrian border. where is really soldiers are expanding their presence. the local mayor was among at least 10 palestinians killed in his really strike on a municipal building in central causes. more people are believed to be trapped under rubble and, and is rarely striking a school and gaza city has killed at least 7 palestinians. the school was crowded
5:19 am
with displaced people, many who would fled northern guardsmen, which has been under siege for more than 2 miles. people in the occupied westbank city of janine are protesting against the raid by palestinian authority forces. the refugee camp is frequently been attacked by these rarely army pa operations. there are rare amounts, has condemned the p, a for targeting palestinian fighters in geneva. the rate began at dawn 5 days after palestinian authority forces surrounded the camp, killing one commander of the janine brigade, the palestinian prime minister says the authority is trying to maintain security, public order, and law enforcement. the occupied west bank was divided into 3 scattered areas of control in 1995 under the oslo accords between israeli and palestinian leaders. israel controls about 82 percent of the territory. the remaining area is under direct palestinian control,
5:20 am
but the palestinian authority coordinated security matters with israel is really forces retained the right to enter this area at any time under the pretext of security. but one of the shutter is obviously we're a senior political analyst. he says the palestinian authority is doing israel's bidding. janine, if you remember the put us in a thought or 2 and p l o in general have i times condemned is read and even took certain measures against it. i think united nations and, and so on. so forth, but it's fact, it is on the part of is really a government and it's security practice where the real problem lies, not with it, but a single thought of the patient was thought the has tried each and every to why wouldn't whenever it's possible to coordinate security matters with this, right? in other words do is raz bidding. in other words, do is there i was there to work in the occupied territories. but still the is
5:21 am
really government the phonetics and fascists. i'm not satisfied with this, but as you know, thought they because they're not facts satisfied with if there's on that which is are presenting palestinian people. so this is really the government doesn't give them what's the 1st thing and i thought it is security out was in this is, in the end of the day, it just doesn't want it to exist. nonetheless, but, but a scene or thought, i think it has been trying get in again the satisfy the israeli government, by cracking down on palestinian resistance. south korea's parliament has voted to impeach the president for declaring martial law last week. you. and so if you will, is suspended, and the prime minister is in charge as acting president. the constitutional court will now decide if he should be officially removed from office, but the president is defiant, saying he'll continue to fight for his political future. rob mcbride reports from salt. it was
5:22 am
a dramatic reversal of political fortunes. a week before president june, so kills governing potty had stood with him to raising parliament's 1st impeachment vote specified in this. the 2nd enough members broke ranks to seal his fate as president the, 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 in position of marshal 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. she let me try, though i must pause our journey towards the best. the future which i have worked with the people for the past 2 and a half years must never stop tropical in recent days. you and has been defiantly
5:23 am
defending his actions and the power and failure reconciliation that may have made him more enemies on the fact that the ma, some more was imposed on you for 6 hours and then, and then the, but 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 carol, is only that the president to be impeached. one of those decisions was over tons at the constitutional court that will now consider that this ruling and union has promised to find no telling the impeachment, but also potential criminal charges against him. for south korea's opposition parties, this impeachment brings close to the prospect of criminal charges against you for insurrection. on september, the december 3rd in the direction crisis has not yet been resolved. the suspension
5:24 am
of you and your the ring leader is merely the 1st step toward addressing the situation with investigators still trying without success to search his offices. then now we peach, the president to you is far more vulnerable to the multiple agencies closing in on him, rubbing the bride. i'll just say era, so i and rob mcbride is live for us and sold rob, good to see you and you and has been impeached, but she still has the title of president logistically what happens now? yeah, he remains a he but retains the type of but he is effectively a president in name only. he no longer has any of the presidential powers that he used to have the for example, that controlled over the military as a right. and you can try to declare martial law, for example, and the presidential power has not passed to the prime minister who becomes the
5:25 am
acting president handle suits of the president. you can remain in the officials, presidential compound and the residents, but he can no longer turn up to the presidential office. he still gets presidential briefings as he used to, but they don't include any confidential information, restricted information. he retains this strange kind of position as this case now goes to the constitutional court. and we are going to be hearing this case between the several months, maybe up to 6 months before they make a ruling on this b. while here domestically. that was all the political fallout that you would expect the opposition democratic party that they've been pushing for this impeachment, they all pretty much doing a victory lap they've been holding virus press conferences that been holding once this sunday morning here in so i but also saying that this impeachment is just the 1st step, but they really want to see is at present,
5:26 am
and you'd barring some criminal consequences for having declared marshall with the investigation on going into possible insurrection charges being brought against him . meanwhile, we're also seeing the political full that's on his ruling policy, the people power policy, which is basically disintegrate to do this pretty much collapsed as a result of this, the senior leadership attending the resignation to be going to be seeing a lot of insights in within that policy in the coming days and rob me, you made mention of the fact that the prime minister has now been made acting president. of course, we know that the acting president made a phone call today to us presidential bite. and i'm curious about what the international reaction has been to this impeachment thus far. yeah, that really is a priority for the uh, this uh, administration now in a kind of limbo is to reassure all of its partners given especially the significant strategically economically diplomatically of south korea in the. busy world,
5:27 am
this has caused an awful lot of disruption of turmoil at the past couple of weeks in financial markets in the value of the local currency. and so, and so it's a priority now is to really create reassurance with the international community. so we've seen prime minister hans having a one hour phone call with president us at the us said joe biden. we have a new administration, of course, coming in that is going to be of concern for this administration. we've had some comforting woods from and, and to be blinking us secretary of state saying that the relationship between the us and south korea remains in clouds. that's alliance. and also this was a demonstration of the democratic resilience of south korea. but we've also seen the administration here sending out letters to the various embassies and in south korea, saying it's business as usual. and that said, they determined to go and they continued. i'd also be wary of what happens from north korea that your credit does not exploit and take advantage of this
5:28 am
a period of uncertainty and south go and politics from thanks for breaking that all down for us. that's i'll just here as rob mcbride lie for us in sol or george's governing party has selected a new president. kyle, kevin, less really was the only candidate on the ballot and a vote that was put the politicians and not the public. all opposition parties of boycotted parliament accusing the government of electoral fraud. demetrius vanco setups. this report from tim, leasing. how it was, it was an election that could only have one with a because there was only one candidates because it will cover less of the form of football. and so in front of the titian was voted in by a college of voters and the public. in accordance with new rules, they took turns and filling out a ballot which had just one option. something the central election commission didn't have a problem with 225 members of college have participated in this process
5:29 am
where we have one in the village bellwood paper and 220 full valid bills pay for say, according to which we fail, the probably less really has been elected as the new president of georgia. the one invalid ballot came from this woman. you should have selected a better candidate. you have damage georgia with this decision, i have no option but to drop an empty pallets outside of parliament protest as gather for the 17th day in a row. they continued demanding a rerun of october parliamentary elections saying anything happening since then is no end void. whatever they do, including electing a new president. we, we don't think it is. uh, i would say that in any way it may seem k all take that protest as a playing football. but 1st of all, they're trying to stay with them. this is the call to stay the george and capitol. i have seen the season and secondly, this is a job, but because it will come to less that you know, that he doesn't even have
5:30 am
a diploma. he barely graduated high school. he was, he was a football player. are parliament as well football players. i studied political science. i would never be able to get into this parliament because i've never played football in my entire life. the country's prime minister congratulated given us really well taking a stab at his previous asses, incidents that same deal. so for the 1st time in 20 years, georgie, i will have a president who's a petri and someone of san mental health, outgoing. president solomon's that obviously really supports the protestors and dismissed the election. she says she will stay on until a legitimate president is elected to him. an office is due to expire on december 29th. the same day as kevin us meetings planned integration to reach him in, but didn't go out to 0 to bbc. now it's scribner is the executive director of the democratic security institute. he says the new president was appointed because he was a party loyalist the president. his most the ceremonial,
