defensive wars, the human suffering. destiny is of course. it is one of the most serious thoughts of violence. in recent years. we brave bullets involved because we give voice to those demanding freedom the rule of law. and we always include the views from all sides, the, [000:00:00;00] the 40 by to board. this is in use our own alger 0 live from joe, coming up in the next 60 minutes is around the target. small sides inside syria, as the head of its new administration says, people, a tide of conflicts is there any forces are also attacking guys that way. children, i believe, should be dropped off to the latest rank on this school sheltering disgrace palestinians also this hour. if he is of

a heavy desk toll and major devastation in my arts, after a pa, for sycold suite, with a french overseas territory. and south korea's president is facing an uncertain future after being impeached by parliament. at court will now decide if he's to be removed from all the thank you for joining us. israel has launch more attacks across syria, with a number of military sites targeted. and just the past 12 hours is really media said the air force destroyed warehouses, storing miss size and drunk it launches, need a ton of cost on any damascus countryside. they also hate munition depos in the town of hydra, east of the ra. let's get an update on the situation in syria and speak to rachel, sit down, who's in damascus for us uh, rate. so bring us up to speed with these is really strikes overnight and,

and the situation this morning of the indeed over 60 is ready air space over the course of the 12 hours. and that is not the 1st time seeing almost hours of the default of the south regina is that started to boom, boom, syria. but the focus of these red is strikes are the matter is that one of the damascus in outskirts of damascus. so last night they have, she, it's some of the, the, the, the, the munition depots and a defense systems in the cut them on the 6th of the mascot. which is not that far away from where we are. and they have her 7 load that's load explosions, and that has been almost the routine of the live here. but also they have a he, some of the munition deep was in the soul of the company that are programs. and then some other ammunition depots in the north of the capital in homes, which is just around 180 kilometers away from here. but that is,

these are the strategies as sees the port of the sides of gene have seen that is that has contacted me and me out on a home. there was a strikes across the country shipping that the north eastern city of the company, the commission to commission of the cost of cities, or for if the company likes such as less accurate, particularly targeting the newer forces over there. and then how much homes. but more importantly, the mass goes. so the strategy behind that, the court and the people that we are talking to, and according to officials here of telling us that is rarely these are trying to leave a syria to the new administration. that doesn't have any a or defense system and also does have any, a force that's in a meaningful way can be to have these ready aggression. all right is reducing to see if he has made it to the capability by doing so to the level of utility 11 on and gaza. right? and so what is the new administration? the new head of government saying about these is really a tax. is there a plan to respond as well?

so did the most powerful man the now in syria, the leader of the opposition i'm at shadow was talking to has talked to the. busy others and he was asked about, does that tax? he said, well, they're not planning to get into any conflict with his rad. however, he said that is very side is violate. and the ceasefire agreement with that that was signed in 1974 between israel and the syria. and he has cooled on the it's a national community to in, to see. and to stop is very aggression over there. once they get to emphasize it, say that they have no plan of engaging the conflicts with israel, but that was not on the only remark that he has. he also talked about the new or there in city, i mean the region and when he was at boss of russia and iran schools, which were the main beckers of the that the side that the gene, the said that the new and decision celia has no problem with your new society, but rather with the policies of the united states. and you also said that they have

given a chance to russia because see, there is relations with the cd. and people, on the other hand said that you had engage again and gauge. and with the world, and they're in direct quotes, not with but it's to view open the british embassy in damascus. then he was asked if the new constitution was really includes that the, the, the, the elections, whether the power transferred is going to happen through the election. this one, he said, yes, the elections are going to be the backbone of the new seal. yeah. but one of the most sensitive issue is the relation with the on 2 of these fighters. just said that in syria there will be no on groups accept that are the odd need or official audience of the state. and that is quite bored some because if the code despite is do not lead on the on, that's going to individually lead to kind of get to a little conflict in syria. and russel is now one week since the topping of china side in and syrians and now coming to terms with the new reality of life after side. what does that reality look like today? is life getting back to normal?

of this the live so rapidly got back to normal and that is x to lift this prize. invite to the for most of them, for the uh, 48 hours of their the position to control of the country. they have been able to restore the weather here and to restore the security as well. there's no hiking the cleaning of the cases. you're not seeing any account with exceeds booting or any thing that does it. does that mean that the, for the status of the machines are not solely operation of now, however, they are sort of in and 2 days for it's the 1st day of the, of the interruption of the disruption or for almost a week. the schools are starting again, their new opening now students are at the school is that the teachers are back and is not only the primary and secondary with high school. that's what can i bought to universities as well. so while, and this is quite an important milestone now, because it is a strong symbol of how to live quickly is getting back to the normal wild is

happening or so 2 days now do a position here, which is the new administration of syria. they started to clean the damascus a 4th as well. and they said that we can see if we can 3 days, it's going to be fully operational. and of course i left it for us as well. so the, the new institutions here seeing that started from 18th of december, that will be turn know that the domestic flies between i level and damascus, and later, soon as possible, they say they want to resume the international flights as well. right? so thank you very much for the update that challenges here as a result of direct 14 they live from damascus. well, is there any time so now stationed in towns and villages in serious south west cesar, as military has expanded this occupation of the golan heights. since the collapse of yasandra james. well sir, i will not vote was, has more from can a truck in southwest in syria to the house. i was opening to lodge and who will be sure to go with the heathen female because of the house of we're 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 and destroyed damage streets. as you can see, they've cut down the trees on both sides of the road and destroyed electricity. boston i've called her blah, blah, blah, blah. so we did a heavy if that and within the 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 would lead connecticut, them a clue what to just have to add it. so that you did yesterday, the forces of these really occupation conducted a maneuver into an empty command center of the syrian military. they passed through this road into the command center and conducted

a search operation 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 it out probably about a slip last month, a sort of an avoids. and it's just the other half of the clinic and each national push was stability in syria is gaining momentum, regional and western diplomats gathered in jordan saturday to discuss the country's future. they call for a peaceful and inclusive political transition. no day has more from the meeting in the 4th city of comma, marathon meetings, of arab and international diplomats to discuss all matters relating to syria. and what comes next. agendas converged here in, aka, but they didn't always overlaps a pair of states formulated a united position beside that too. 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. and lucky they've voice the same concerns. so we have this 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, opening direct lines of dialogue with damascus. we agreed that the transition process should be showing led into a, you know, and produce an 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 the middle east, and all 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 a prosperous future for syria. that all day i'll just eat a couple jordan as well. let's discuss these latest developments in syria with robin case been full now. he's electra in peace and security at durham university. thank you so much for joining us, robert. let's start with what's been happening in these research is really strikes

in syria, which are continuing. we saw 61 missile attacks on, on military sites across syria, in a period of 5 hours on, on saturday evening. what do we know about what these relates at targeting and what, what is the aim here? what, what's the objective? well, the seem to be going after anything and everything really that's associated with the former regime at i'm at the stall they were talking targets in damascus. it didn't seem like but it's every targets. but there was also some speculation that they must have had intelligence that they were assets hitting the the aside, or he might not have declared. now these really sold these strikes the americans to say, look, you know, we're getting rid of the chemical weapons with targeting the chemical and biological weapons size. and the americans said, okay, you know that, that's legitimate. but since then there's been a lot more and there's been a lot more disconnect between washington and jerusalem because these rates of simply started targeting anything really associated with the former regime. right. and they've also deployed ground troops into and beyond the diminish rise buffers. one for the 1st time in 50 years,

are they taking this step just in the context of the security of israel as they say, or they other ambitions. and i think we're doing it simply because they can't. i think that there is a security aspect here that simply they, they don't know about the new regime. they don't know who's in charge. they don't know who's on the other side. these riley's um, these readings intelligence was taken by surprise by, with these developments just as much as the rest of the world was. uh, so i think these raise a ring on the side of caution here. the problem is when the air on the side of caution, they also escalate. because as you say, they've taken over 250 square kilometers in the territory. and the notion unprecedented number of strikes. you mentioned $61.00 strikes over a year prior over the entire course of israel strips area $200.00 in 20 times approximately 6. it just shows you that, okay. these readings might think that everything on the side of caution. but actually the escalating tensions, especially with the new uh, uh, government, empowering service. and what has this new government power be been saying?

i'm it all sure has been speaking. and he talked about the syrians being too tired to fight over another conflict in reference probably to what israel has been doing, what, what is the message right now that's coming from this new administration? i think he's cooling israel's bluff the saying to these raise, you have got no legitimacy. distraught you got no legitimacy to occupied because here i am telling you we have no desire or intention to fight you. and this is a huge change. the advocate syria is kind of in the, the cold state that has been fighting as well for decades is regular, is often talk of their own serious and driven that kind of obsession with this idea that syria is behind everything. so this is a huge power dime shift from a guy who used to be affiliated to iceland, i'll call you to of any organization knows a so surprising and so shocking. so i think he's saying to the international community, look, you know, here's my intentions. now you have to stop these re lease and a lot of the time we're hearing people saying ok, well, johnny saying, well as he is now. and shara is saying in the things that we like to hear stuff

about respect the ruler of minorities and women's rights, and will judge him by his deeds. now remember when the syrian regime fell, benjamin netanyahu went to the border and said, we want peace with the syrian avenue syrian government and the syrian people. but then look, is relevant to engines here we will, the strikes and these occupations. so i think he's flipping rounds, the way that the investors means you're judging him to say, okay, what about these ratings? they might be saying one thing, but the doing and know the right. speaking of international community, they met in a combat. jordan on saturday tried to present a united front as far as what's the next steps and what serious future i should look like. but we have various stakeholders here with various interest in syria. how. how do you see them working together, if at all, and you know, in the, you know, for the future, syria can they work together? well, i think that the point of the conference yesterday was the international community and these key players to try and grab box some agency because no one soul this

coming no one. so the full of reduce the regime. and then the day before the rebels reached damascus, you heard at egypt, jordan and other countries, you don't like you said, redeem cooling for a ceasefire. so events on the ground really overtook whatever it was they were planning. and as i said, they had no, probably a warning that this was going to happen. the only possible exception being toki a because of that close ties to haste. yeah. so the us is now trying to bring all these policies together and we're accounts a middle ground, you know, some way to protect. for example, the sds, it's, it's relative allies in east, in syria, but the same time to a piece tokyo who are very much opposed to the, the presence. so it's, it's about trying to find in the, in 2 months we're gonna have a different us administration. will it be the same? i mean, will they have the same approach towards syria briefly? will know is along the short of it, it was donald trump, who tried to withdraw us troops from syria and actually strictly asked that he did that. that's when to keep began

a unprecedented defensive against s the dominate the territory. so i think tolkien knows that stuff is very hard at the moment, but we'll try and find it's time for the new administration to come in, which might be more supportive of his goals and interests. thank you so much for talking to us. always good to get your analysis. robert gates, pen full. joining us here on the news our of the war on guys and now and these really forces f one bonded northern guys overnight and into sunday morning. full palestinians were killed in an s right. going to school housing, the space people in bates, i know, and natalie attack and guys a city killed at least 14 palestinians rescue teams. how to use sledge time is to break through the rubble and recover bodies. the attack targeted residential buildings in the middle of the night. children among the dead. let's speak 2 ounces . here is honey, my mood in a minute. but let's show you what's happening there by the way. and these really as

a residential building in agrees refuge account that the eastern part of the central area, an area that has been relentlessly targeted and attacked by the display. the air strikes where a i, a journalist, his wife and the 3 of his children were go, that's a whole family that you know, blood treated or you know, one single attack. what, what's really concerning right now is the evolving a story from northern part of the city, particularly in the tunnel, the city where they're confirmed before that we have it from the, the eyewitnesses and the people who we manage to talk to a many of the people who are inside the school with severe injuries and have no where to go as these really military is in circling the area with its tanks and armored vehicles and hammering the school with the heavy artillery. as for so far, a family of 4 the father and mother, and there's 2, a daughters with gold inside one of the classroom after it was directly hit by

a one of the shows fired by the artillery many were injured, critically are at the court yard of the school and inside the other classroom nearby at the, the tax with know where to go, not none of the hospital in bid. how do an operation of there is in fact, there is no hospitality or any of the health centers. people are pushed into internal, further displacement. but the problem right now, if you don't know where to go as none of the routes around the vicinity of this school, that's, i mean the way the school in mid town on a city houses hundreds of display families. it from base had one and more recently from people who lived valley review came and went directly to shelter in the schools, have no place to go, have no safe route to move. do, do avoid being bombed by these really military and these really monitor is not giving them the opportunity as everything happens out. all of this has happened suddenly without any prior warnings whatsoever, do the trap civilians inside the school early are also of this morning. more

attacks on garza city. no, fox street, that's a major street in the center of part of gauze and the connecting the northern parts with garza city, with 3 people in one of the flats where it's killed all as, as a neighborhood then as they do. and it's been on the story as, sorry, they've been such texted too many of the tax for the us months that we can't really recall any of these going by without hearing about as a, to invest the they to neighborhood the and relentlessly targeted by all means possible by the by air, by land, as well as by the choir concert that keeps choosing people from one place to another, particularly inside evacuation centered the schools where they are, the public schools or the honor was schools that in housing 1000 of the displaced families, honey, thank you very much for the update that. so i'll just say here's how the memo is reporting a life from job loss in central gaza. gaza. 16 meanwhile,

has been repeatedly targeted in the last 24 hours and is really as striking a school k o 7 palestinians on saturday is crowded with hundreds of families for saturday. homes in the north, which has been under use, really sees for more than 2 months every month, honey, the reports a, i'm now inside of mazda was successful in a muscle neighborhood to the west of the city where these, what your planes have targeted this super cool which is filtering thousands of palestinians who have been forcibly displaced from there is a building that he is a very if you can. and then i don't, as you can see here, the blood of the killed cells unions, at least at least for pelting as have been killed and does it have been injured and transported to the hospital. we can clearly smell the smell of the black. busy over the place we can see the burn mattresses that these displaced really is used to to sleep on. as you can see, the bit covers the belongings of the display civilians. you're a guy,

then i'm not sure we were in the queue to fetch water. suddenly there was a huge explosion that shook the entire area. after the dust settled, we found innocent people who were killed and injured. those who were killed and injured were neighbors and relatives. we communicated with the ambulance service of the civil defense, but they arrived late. this place is a shelter for 2 or 3000 displaced people. the majority are from the north, where we were forced to evacuate by the occupation, who told us that this place, namely western garza was safe. we moved to western garza, but they followed us to western garza, the scale of destruction inflicted on the, in the schools classrooms. you, this is what you, that fact as you can see the, the hall resulted from that missile, which hit this filter. it school. it came from the there will still this round of this classroom for a staying in northern guys or tomorrow at one hospital has been under constant

times by is really forces patients have been waiting in bomb doubt. cordele is where the treatment is not guaranteed. medical staff is struggling to provide adequate care is israel continues to prevent medicine and aids from getting in. is there any forces truck, a house near hospital on saturday? i was just here as well off the road was reporting day when it happened. nobody watched. oh, it was to come in at one hospital carrying choose medicines and blankets as it's officially winter. here it came out of the hospital as a calculated to see they're off watching the food in the warehouses of the house, but to speak to the director of the doctor for some sophia i think i heard it filled until it was a lovely hello doctor. i want to ask you about the w h o 8 that has arrived on the 8 that we have received in the hospital is not enough next to know

the, the level of destruction, of the calculated se. in the pain of the wells used. several people have been killed in my jo, taffeta psycho and hit the french overseas territory in the indian ocean. the storm brought winds of more than 200 kilometers an hour to the islands which lie between madagascar and mainland africa cycle. and chito is being described as the worst to hit the region for nearly a century when the reports of informal settlements being flattened. the storm is

now moving towards the eastern coast of africa. france is sending emergency personnel switching suggest you find more exception ended. if you mean, if it's a truly unusual situation that your, it hasn't been a climates event like this in may or since 1934, which included the wind with gusts of up to 226 kilometers per hour. and then right . and you know, the mix of times over this is on hillside success and does rain most of ran down hill and the land became on stables. it obviously was a disaster full make shift times have been completely destroyed. just hit that to south korea now with a top court is set to this side, the political fate of impeach prize of in union, so kill on saturday upon in voted to impeach june for declaring martial law last week. the constitutional court is scheduled to meet on monday and as up to a $180.00 days to decide whether you and should be officially removed from office opposition. leaders have aged a quote to vote quickly. meanwhile, there's been more protests against impeach president visa,

nice pictures from sol. seems in the south korean capital way. hundreds are out on the streets. as you can see, demonstrated, say that keep up the pressure as the constitutional court considers union street that's between corresponded rob mcbride, who joins us now life and soul. so people fill out protesting. rob, what happens now to the president of the maintenance, the focus rarely this sunday, the day off the, this historic of votes has really been the optimize of the impeachment of june. so if you all i'm, i'm really trying to, it seems volt by all parties here give a reassurance of security that it's business as usual, both home and abroad. the, the, the presidential powers of now passed through the prime minister and of sue. he now becomes uh, the stand in presidents has taken over those presidential powers,

and it's really important for him to reach out best firstly to south korea, most important dialogue, the united states that has been a phone conversation with us president joe biden. the administration has also been reaching out to other embassies and other allies, both here in sole and through the admissions abroad. the prime minister hon. this is a space plane situation because he to possibly faces impeachment himself as being a member of use administration. but the opposition here, i think in recognition of the disruption that would cause having the stand it also facing impeachment has said that he should not face and feet page. but you should continue in his job. the focus here for the opposition groups who have managed to push through this impeachment is to have that impeachment now heard by the constitutional court of to sat today's votes to impeach.

it was 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 served specified in this, the 2nd enough members broke ranks to seal his fates as president, suspension of the president's duties was urgently needed and throughout the process we only thought of the country and 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, told 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 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 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 tons 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's opposition parties, this impeachment brings close to the prospect of criminal charges against you for insurrection. attendant to december. 3rd, in the direction crisis has not yet been resolved. the suspension 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. but 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 and so rob, what other repercussions can we expect from humans in patriot? just as long as the opposition arkansas now that this impeachment is on the way to the new inputs us will be given to some of the potential criminal investigations of youth when it comes to possibly being charged with a with the active trees. and so they looking for progress on that front, there's also the full out here politically full at the different parties, especially the people policy. this is the ruling policy of a former president. you know, he, i, the, that party,

we have seen the mass resignations being tended by the leadership of the party. we are expecting to see some very turbulent meetings in the coming days between the different factions, both pro and anti impeachment, fractions within that policy is the result of this. and i'd also, as far as the acting president, holland is concerned. there's also a concern looking north of the border to north korea's reaction to all of this. and he has very quickly, after taking up the duties of president, held a meeting of the national security council, which he said that they, they reaction to north korea. they at the past due to was north korea is, was the type when it comes to being ready for any possible action. the concern is that north korea and they use this exploit the vulnerability to take some sort of action against south korea. right? no problem. thank you very much for that. that sondra sierra is rob mcbride reporting there from so to steal a head on al jazeera, new rod of tops get on the way to end the decades long fighting in the eastern

democratic republic of congo. and the battle for pop croft, why taking the eastern ukrainian city could be a major wind for russian forces. the hello. we've got moderator pushing into western pos, safety europe over the next couple of days. lot of cloud and rain rolling in from the atlantic. little band of cloud and right at the moment that will shift this way through skies come 3 for a time with some sunshine. and we'll see that all making his way the race was allowing that moderate to pushing from the atlantics as we go through sunday, 11 degrees celsius, the in london, where it's 6 celsius. that's about an a 34 will also model read to even into scandinavia as we go through the next couple of days. 11, the beginning gets double figures the,

the button on monday. similar value for tuesday. but take a look at the wednesday. we could touch full team degrees in london by wednesday afternoon, so that motorists setting and it will be a little lucky once again, but at least it won't be as cold, cold enough for a fabulous smell web presence across the norway, sweden pushing into that eastern side all russia, sorry, some parts of the year of western areas of russia amount is full of the temperature that for most good let us know to down towards i know them areas of techie i, rash this, i was the a cost monthly grease and pushing through the bulk is lots of cars come back in behind, fine and dry. the spain and portugal, or the democratic nations justify this kind of behaviors. colorado beverages collateral damage. that's watch, reality is leading to what we're seeing that will allow me to push back for a moment is the corporate is real effective. it's

a little bit branding from the impact of the us selections. the escalating conflict in the middle east of the urgency of climate action upfront sets the stage for serious debate on out jersey or the . ringback the,

the, [000:00:00;00] the, again, you're watching the news hour on. ouch is here with me for the back to go. our reminder of our main stories. is there any attacks that have dozens of military sites in syria over night? is really media save the air force destroyed warehouses, storing ms size and wrong. it launches near the task, stop in the damascus country side and gaza is really a strikes on gaza. city have killed at least 4 teams out as teens among the children rescue. who is that working to full of us from the bible. and the french government says that he has several people are dead after a pa, for psycho, and hates a hideous overseas territory of my own in the indian ocean flattening homes that

brought winds up more than 200 kilometers per hour to the islands which are between madagascar and mainland africa. now hezbollah has made its 1st public comments, since it's long time i live a shot, a side was toppled in syria is data named costs and says it's too early to outline his groups position on the transitional government in syria, but cost them acknowledge. hezbollah has lost a crucial military supply, wrote to syria, you know, especially to his beloved yes. has the law has lost its line of communication through syria. but such a loss is just 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. or even a syrian celebrate size down for fighting is still happening. other parts of the

country in the north, the turkish bacteria, national army and kurdish fighters bank by the us are competing for control. or some of been job had spoke to fighters and civilians caught in the conflicts in the city of mine beach well field trip. so they've drawn targets and administrative building near northern serious district. and these are being operated by turkish linked fighters called the city. and that's the allow me on the other side or us and encourage fight is known as the serbian democratic forces. the 2 are operating drones. these 2 sides have continued to fight here in northern syria, despite the fall of the government, the damascus. and for the 1st time since the uprising began in 2011, the turkish back fight as 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 defective to the opposition. once the uprising big on, you know, needs

a fighting force which spearheaded recent operations in good detailed rough i've and my beach brigade, he needs seems to care could. despite this all the way to the get off the board to the black. well, there 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 soto. 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 attendant networks. this network of coming continues in either direction for a few kilometers according to the site as they've gone through and cleared the settlers they face monday was an important stronghold for 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 20 to 20 villages sitting easy. these have raised generations, unlike the persecuted minority and there are not many of the sites. so you know about these villages, some of which are more than a 100 years old. 62 years. ready press sheets in those days. 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 armies oldest to fight the opposition. he hopes those days are gone. now the am and is our lives have changed under the syrian regime and the p. k. k. malicious uh, 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. but us and thirty's back quite as still competing for control. so i'm gonna be driving down to the beach syria for syrians and friends. so fled the war by charlotte sides. officer is

welcome. news was from the looking forward to going home. auditors are worried about what to expect with a new administration at tasha by larry. for some pears, some of the system harris restoral 2 and a half son, a spinning wheel says every time he calls his mother in damascus, she cries, he left syria 13 years ago. he didn't want to join the army. you can't quite believe that the charlotte side has finally gone. it's very high ceilinged, i can, in my heart, in my soul, in my breast. it's very, very, very nice to me and the old, the city and all of the country syrians, dunston, queued in paris. many trying to absorb what's happened on it too. so. so we are all together. we are all serious. we are all free in a country experiencing freedom for the 1st time. really 30000 syrian splits of

problems during the civil war taping celebrating the full of a side. but for some, the joy is mixed with a deep and lingering pain. a syrian one, cafe cold is 011, the damascus post code and a reference to the the civil war started in 2012 t. m, as home in the syrian capital was re, did a fall. the brother an uncle with taken away in front of her. she and her mother have never given up hope of finding them. so it's very, very hard because like from the, from the beginning of the freeing of the prisoners, we were just waiting. we were just like, you know, stuck to our screens just looking in like looking through videos. maybe we could see them climbing is bush was passion from southern syria. she arrived in from 3 years ago, forced to build a new life, the broad. she one does what it would mean to go home. we would love to go back and be part of the construction and the part of or potentially the,

the new democracy in the middle east of. so yeah, i would love to go back, but i mean it's time and guarantees before i do. but i do that because also i don't want to go back to living in said you for you and whole take hope unless a rule post and then on search and future united syrians who fled the country and bally dare to dream of seeing it. once again, patasha butler, i'll do 0, paris. i to this and i'll speak to, so stand by our account was a professor of public policy at home. i'd been felicia university here in contact. thank you so much for the time for joining us. what to expect from the new syria and administration? that's what a lot of syrians asking today. those in exxon abroad. but also those at home were trying to return to, to normal. see, to have a sense of normalcy again. but also from the international community. do you think there are a lot of there's a lot pained on this new administration perhaps too much. of course, i think the, the level of expectations at the moment is,

is very high. and you can't blame the city and people's to expect more, having been through this very miserable existence for about 4 or 4 or 5 decades now . but what we should expect bets are off all the is the international community. they know that to the hands of god, i need a tie. did a number of ways including in terms of his base is support the actual power that made him capable of coming all the way to the most case. and this has, i'm referring to the support from the people and the groups that accepted him, looked after him, allowed him to look for such a long time. they have a particular ideological inclination that we have to keep in mind to know what has been done and not to buy things, slightly misleading, and definitely still expect him to deliver what the international community could not deliver. in 14 years and inclusive government, a secular government, a government where they lot of women is, is recognized as

a try cetera. all of these issues have been under discussion for a long time under the semester. we could not achieve it. i think we need to color, but it looks a bit more carefully the expectations in order to allow him to stabilize the situation. now that everybody seems to accept that he is the person to do it. a very it's very significant that the banking earlier today or yesterday yesterday acknowledge that he has been there for the 2nd contact. yeah. is so called tired of schools. i suspect them to measure for me to will keep him and his group on the sanction list because this would be the leverage against him to make sure that he acts the way they want him to act. but that by doing so, the longer it goes, the more they limits his ability is to actually undertake reforms. and to take syria for on that the us whole as many keys to international recognition and accepts and acceptance of this new administration in damascus. but also in a little, over a months time, we're going to have

a different administration in the united states. well, the trump administration want, you know, to engage with, with this new administration in syria and what would they want in return? because as we know, it's always a transactional issue of transactions. when it comes to the trump administration in the united states, what would they will in the united states? interest is really limited to 2 aspects. one is the security of israel, and they've given is where to free hand. now to conduct this on security operations, which i think is going to go back to home, them later on because they've gone way beyond what is expected of them. and that to because in those really terms, because of their continuous and less insecurity feeling, they never know where to stop. what is the limit of how much they should undermine this? the capacity of the state of syria. they started by time targeting major chemical watson size and now they're going further and further further they will deliver it

to my is the whatever government comes in power, if they don't stand up to israel, they would be dealership miser guys with the syrians and they will not be able to take, so the forward, the 2nd, the interest is across the you for ages in the eastern stereo and support of casado, ritz, the democratic forces where the oil and gas is. and this is where the united states is actually present briefly. um, you know, we were talking about these really easy americans, a force that the countries that met say not to buy in jordan yesterday saturday, but we're not talking a lot about yvonne right now. yvonne was a stuart, allied off. i have been shot aside. what, how will k, ron approach this new, syria and the new administration in series? i think in the around that has been a major shift in the way they've calculated the security. in the old days. they used to rely on proxy presence in the middle east to threaten his route. now there's no need for that because they've had direct confrontation with as well. and they've exchange fire and the yeah, oh no problem. do you think you're going to say that

a different strategy of how they're going to defend their interest in the region? and you can see that because they've given up on that side 5 to quickly when he needed the most. but the still, they was the wrong, much of the presence from silvia. still, i think diplomatically they should have been invited to that meeting. right. iran, russia is very important not to be humiliated in syria. they've now withdrawn to their bases and the cost they'll probably maintain, i'm interested in keeping some presence in alongside them as the train in the us again has to be careful not to push them too much against the wall, right. interesting to see how this will pan out. thank you so much. just time for talking to us as always. we'll turn back on from home. i've been holly for university now that private and so the democratic republic of congo and wanda, i do to meet you non goal that for a new round of talks on the long running conflicts in eastern d r. c. the companies government accuses one dial backing the m $23.00 onto which

is seizing territory in the east. the want them government has denied any involvement fighting between the army and the fighters has intensified despite a choose announced in august. millions of people have been displaced island, where connie has been speaking to people that refuge account in the eastern city of coma, a meeting between presidents for the extra security of the democratic public of going for government from wanda is raising money to help him on the population mentally, people who are living in the idp come across the province of north cave. we are the new york city for right now, is the hosting almost 7000000 of people informed me to know for them it wrong with this town of go my here, this is why we're sending them. have people saying they've seen such kind of music many times between? yeah. see officials without any results and fighting still going on the, on the ground, even the right to know as we are talking here. the army is facing them. $23.00 variables on the ground for more than 12 days without stop. and he does even pushed

more people, those who have twice even to pull back in the village there were pushed out again during the week. this is why people in the con, the saying that the only things for them is to go back home. but the really questioning how this would be possible. why did the audition official still not showing that we discussed with the m. 23, the rebels. the reef solution and all of this is to ask, was the co domino for one to to remove his soul just from the off seat in order to stop our sufferings. what do we know? it's still impossible even with the stocks and we are hopeless and tired of all of this. i mean, there is a fair amount that needs to be honest and took seriously on the ongoing issues in the region. because since 3 years now that we're here suffering these, this, we have discussed with them 22 rebels officials this morning again. and they were very clear that the ongoing process in uncle,

which they have some noting is not concerning them for me to. because the only possibility for them to discuss we did the artist who officials is in a day there today, you know, on the, the, is the, one of the community members about this possibility was also exempted by the, the us to officially. this is why the hope of many people here and even in the progress, so enough keep we up this but a lot from this ongoing process. even this meeting between point cuz i man for the security is very little in terms of results all in way. connie does 0 goma the democratic republic of congo. the still ahead on knowledge is sierra george's parliament fix. the new president asked october's disputed general elections, but find out why the hotel south fall from over the hard hit came in to be some could be interim head for, for us,

which is pretty much an electrical terms. now i didn't say that that would be for 40 years facing realities. what does donald trump's re election? mean pretty tough. it is most important that we focus on how to work with president trump thought provoking on self. and your wife is dealing with the climate crisis. is a crisis of crisis good times, but so it's not just one price is up via the story on talk to how does era manipulated by those in power rolling. this selection is unique and we've seen anything like that before. no pressure, they were instrumental in helping the president when the election, driven by so interested play as fast with their after non profits for people susceptible to government control. if propaganda is designed to inflame and defense, the way that the story is being told, not right. and it's not accurate from social networks to legacy media. the

listening post exposes the forces behind the headlight on which is era. the not to ukraine, way of fighting in the east, is intensifying as russian forces makes no yet study gains. the town of pop troughs is vital for both size and russian forces are approaching the outskirts. alex good populace has more from the cleaning capital cave. to dawn and book crossed the sound of battle close by. for months, the ukrainian town is being the focus of russia's attempts to take the region. both sides have sent thousands of soldiers and hundreds of tanks into a fight, both sides having could heavy losses. after a month long stow made brushing units of inch forward. now,

within 2 kilometers town 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. they to plan to leave. by using the word that we will leave tomorrow while call good talk, these are still running the russians of already positioned themselves behind our house in the forest, the one on the off kilometers away. that's how it says the situation is critical for the ukranian defenders across because of vital voting rail junction. we have a controls, it controls the region. russian forces are 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, keith, people wait anxiously for the news and what to put the summer. we are afraid about poke cross off to that it might go to the neat pro. next stop reach. yeah, these are all online and all people say they all stay in that it is very painful. let's keep the rock heavy metal stephen, the general stuff admits it,

though it says dissertation is controlled, but it is very difficult to hold 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 defend as their time is running out. alex could topless oh to 0, keith and georgia. the governing party has selected a new president, former football and the highest private lashley was the only candidate on the ballad opposition. bodies boycotted, the vote accusing the government of electoral fraud. dimitry major danco has more from the police, see 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 terms in 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 where we have one in the village bellwood paper and $220.00 full well, it bills pay for say, according to which me to the probably less really has been elected as a 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

now n void. whatever they do, including electing a new president, we, we don't think it is uh which of them it 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 coldest day, the george and capitol has seen the season. and secondly, this is a job. but because of the less that you know, that he doesn't even have 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 countries prime minister, congratulated given us really well taking a stab at his previous asses and kids that video. so for the 1st time in 20 years, georgie, i will have a president who's a petri and someone of sound mental health outgo in president solomon's that obviously supports the protestors and dismissed the election. she says she will stay on until a legitimate president is elected to 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 for that. is it for this and use our own knowledge is here to stay with us. so with that plan to more of the days, top stories coming up after this very short break. thanks a lot. the really dangerous an illegal thief in brazil's fellows. a secret community builds hot air balloons found a way of those surface only to spectacularly release the creation of filmmakers shares our initiation into a balloon brother bound to tracing the lights and the sky. witness by no means yet on the just the level of known were political power and diagnostic families often
