11:05 am
now the schools are open, indeed, while you're driving through the seed square year, i've seen that schools about opening that the students are, are, does that or no, having the classes, but we just pass along side the, the damascus university here. many of the students are, are just the front of the buildings, accounting front of the fact of these, this chancey not celebrating a new day for syria in addition of the opening of the schools here. now what sort of these are seeing that they're coming up to damascus airport and soon that's also going to get ready for the operations. and did the 1st, the opening tional flies are going to be between damascus and are left with the capital city. and the 2nd largest city of syria, but they said that the domestic flies are also going to resume soon best. so thank you very much for the update that sandra here is resolved to dial reporting that line from central damascus pulse. is there any time for now? stationed in towns and villages in serious southwest, israel's military has expanded its occupation of the syrian golden heights. since
11:06 am
the collapse of yasandra she went to see i've been aboard has more from couldn't h, right in southwest, in syria of the house. i was opening to lodge a noble that'd be sure to you, i would have done for you much as it were. 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. boston i've called her blah, blah, blah, blah. we did a heavy if that and within what a death in the to these really asked residents to evacuate the cities and towns which they have entered. 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
11:07 am
would lead to of etiquette. comb with, with what the just have to and 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, a war plains above. so, you know, thought about the slow months of the boat and it shows you how the clinic and each national push for stability in syria is gaining momentum, regional and west and different mass gathering. jordan on saturday to discuss the country's future, they call for a peaceful and inclusive political transition. now or day has moved from the meeting in the port city of a comma. marathon meetings of arab and international diplomats to discuss all matters relating to syria. and what comes next, agendas converge, tearing, aka,
11:08 am
but they didn't always overlap. the hair of states formulated a united position. beside that, you know, 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. let's see. they've voice the same concerns. so we have this now we also talked about the negative is really role in the importance of stopping is really aggressions on syrian territory and withdrawing from the buffer zone. it has occupied, 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, while opening direct lines of dialogue with damascus. we agreed that the transition
11:09 am
process should be showing led into a, you know, and produce an inclusive and representative government to 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, and we call unified international community. this is uncharted 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 a prosperous future for syria that all day i'll just eat a couple. jordan as don't speak to robert gates, been sold about this is
11:10 am
a lecture in peace and security at durham university. thank you very much for talking to us again. robert. the stakes are very high in syria, and there are a lot of stakeholders as we saw at that meeting in, in jordan. do you feel that they are setting the bar high very high, perhaps for this new administration, syria, especially on issues that they themselves have failed to resolve in syria over the past several years? yes, i think so, but i also think there's a degree of never to ability to the end, the davis, i teach to us as an organization that was previously tied to i. so it was previously tied to al qaeda. and i shall shara who we previously knew was al galani. well, gilani began his career if you like, as a for and you had his flight to in iraq fighting for what then became isis an ice sales. so there's obviously going to be a degree of suspicion. there's going to be a kind of fear the okay, he's saying the right things at the moment, but do what,
11:11 am
what he does on the ground, will that actually match his rhetoric? is he just saying what the international committee wants the here? well, has the on the gone a genuine transformation and there's all sorts of attempts to kind of psycho analyze even work out. exactly. you know, way his head is that i don't think it might just say much. what masses is what he does on with whom he cultivates ties. at the moment we seeing a very measured approach from his speech has mispronunciations talking about basically 0 problems with his neighbors. and trying to cultivate warm relations with everyone, including leaving the door open to find he talks with iran and russia. right. but page national recognition is obviously very key, very important for this new administration, as well as its acceptance from the countries like the united states, which has indicated that they are lines of communications which has been established with a c s. as we heard from the secretary of state, antony lincoln. but will that line of communication continue to exist with the new
11:12 am
administration coming to washington? what, you know, what will we see from the conflict ministration? and what will they want in exchange from the new syrian administration? well, i was really surprised when i heard lincoln say that because as you mentioned you, this is a designated terrorist organization by the us and a plethora of other countries as well at our gilani shower right now has a 10. i still has a $10000000.00 us bounty. i always had, obviously, the us is not going to be caching, not in any time soon, but i think it's too early to tell exactly what the trump administration will do. we hearing that it will be more isolationist event than ever before. the us will think to do less in the world. and we try and basically contract our regional security to allies at all states with whom, as friendly relations. so i would suspect what we would see under the trump administration is more of a d pollution to regional act is like took a like jordan and yes, like israel. the problem here is that all of these groups do not have overlapping,
11:13 am
completely aligned the interest, right. even though the us will be trying to extricate itself from them, at least it may very well find itself drawn back into the region sooner than it would like a competing interest. definitely, and you mentioned this right. and what we're seeing right now is intensities really strikes across syria. they are extending their presence beyond the buffer zone in, in syria. what is the aim of these remedies here? it, does it go beyond what they say is just, you know, security or is there, are they other emissions? well, it was kind of a trial for tell you when it is ready, media, when he strikes 1st happened because it was seen as, as kind of a real show of for the is right, is basically saying don't mess with us. but that was also, israel was taking credit saying that we've gone off to the chemical way since stopped files. i'm, we've destroyed the most. but then more recently we've been hearing other reports and it's really neat is that some of the chemical weapons have gone missing. they don't, they where they all, so that could be a fight here as well. the is right is kind of scrambling to find where the all on
11:14 am
take out, whatever his intelligence. but when you know they get assigned to the chemical weapons might be here. another potential thing they might be doing is trying to attack and destroy bases for a rainy and weapon smoke length, drought, serial number, syria is it runs london bridge between iran on 11 and it relies on it to keep, has bless, equipped and funded and providing logistical support so i thing is, well we're trying to make it harder for ron to reestablish those links if it com and what do you make of of how the new leader has responded to israel. so finding these really actions, i think he's quote, as well as bluff, you know, with the international community has been saying, we will judge haste. yes. by that actions not just by the woods. and he's flip that's around because when they started using 1st collapse, you heard nothing yahoo on mount him. but on the is ready, i'm assuming galandes ready occupied go on saying that we seek peace with the new
11:15 am
syrian regime. and then at the same time, you see israel and trudging itself further in the go on high is extending its presence on these unprecedented number of strikes that he's starting to these raise . you have no reason to fear us. so now you need to stop these strikes. i don't think he thinks they going to do it, but it's a way to pressure the international community to get israel to rate itself. it. all right, robert is always very good to get your thoughts and in analysis on this. thank you very much for joining us. thank you. or the i. is there any forces or phone bodies? northern guys that overnight i need to sunday morning, full policy news were killed in an as ranking a school housing to space people in beta. no. and, and nearly attack and gaza city killed at least 14 palestinians. rescue teams had to use slight thomas to break through the rubble and become a bodies. the attack targeted residential buildings in the middle of the night. children are among the dead endowed, blah, and is really as tried. targeted
11:16 am
a make shift camp housing, hundreds of the space palestinians, the attack at around midnight. no full time, killed 3 people and destroyed several tents. let's get an update on the situation on the ground in guidelines speak to. uh, honey, my motors and down a lot in central guy. so more residential buildings uh, targeted across guys i bring this up to speed with uh, what's happening there, honey? yes, well we're keeping an eye on this, the disturbing evolving story in northern part of district, particularly in the tunnel and city where the last evacuation centers believe to be the last evacuation send. it is a school that has been housing, hundreds of the displays, families after almost everyone, all de luca rivers. i don't see the work either pushed into internal for the displacement outside of the city of it time one into the western part of the northern part of the fit for gaza city or inside this the school that i live there
11:17 am
with the school at these really a military storm day, then it's unfortunate that we're steve seeing the same patterns of a box and behavior on the ground. the dehumanizing agent that even if they get a palestinian displays in a traumatized where women are separated from the men, the men work in the teen. and some of them are d, lived into unknown areas as of this moment, and they were forced to go through our guns. and that is set up as a check point for everyone when they are asked to evacuate the school, which was about the women and the miners inside the school. but the heavy artillery is as of now this morning to every one by surprise at that school. and almost we're looking at more than 10 people have beaten from gold. there are still many with severe injuries inside the courtyard of the, of the school and some of the classrooms that they are unable to leave because of the attacks. but it just happened without any prior warnings whatsoever. people are
11:18 am
not given a c proud to leave the usual patterns of, of his really a talks and an act in the know the part of this trip. honey, thank you very much for the best options here is honey. my mode reporting their life from job a lot in central guys. i'm still ahead on august here, a new round of talks on the way to end the decades on fighting an eastern democratic republic of congo. the government challenge, as well as the essential for june of this it was a have from, from the war and shelter for civilian refugees. web ex got throwed into the garden during cam boat is bloody civil stuff. flooring us up to the and suddenly we have
11:19 am
a ton of x on the canal ruler shed. take anything of value out of the hotel, 10 boat lip in no more hotels. oh no. just the the, [000:00:00;00] the, the watching ology 0 reminder about top stories is really attacks have hate, a number of military sites in syria over night is really media says the air force destroyed warehouse is storing this size and drunken launches may have a ton of stock in the damascus country side schools in serious capital, meanwhile,
11:20 am
have reopened the new syrian tankless res been school yasu, chair, to chance some students and teachers that comes a week out of the opposition ended the 54 year old of the us. and in guys i is really strikes have killed 14 fantasy engine guys, a city among them, children rescue crews are working to pull out of some of the rubble of the airy, targeted residential. hezbollah has made its 1st probably common sense this long time. i live a shot, a side was toppled in syria. it's either $9.00 cost them says it's too early to outline his goose position on the transitional government in syria, but cost him acknowledge. hezbollah has lost a crucial military supply. vote 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, or we could find other routes,
11:21 am
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 said, let's speak to so turned back out to bob bass. he's a professor of public policy at home and been felicia university and joins us here on out. you say are good to have you again with us so time. let's talk about hezbollah and yvonne by extension stalwart allies, all special assigned a force. how will iran approach the new syria? what will be effect the relationship if there is one with the new leadership in syria? well i think around has already re drawn is relationship with hezbollah and by extension with syria at the moment they've decided enough to come in and support. as i said in his last to days, it's sort of a if that they have now given up on the idea of proxy relationship with the
11:22 am
hezbollah as a line of defense against israel. now they have has a direct confrontation, but this really is that exchange fired directly and they understand, particularly with the new i'm going to connect ministration that trump may give as ro agree, like to hit iran directly. so their defenses and their strategy, it'd probably be now based on data confrontation rather than relying on those groups and in the middle east. which would mean that what has ballasa is saying now that they've lost the line of, of supply is, is just the beginning. i think it depends very much on what they decide to do next, and particularly in the relationship with iraq. so we know that many of the supporters of i side and their own uranian troops have withdrawn into iraq, and they're probably regrouping in iraq. and they could be a major factor of the civilization in syria. they may decide to,
11:23 am
to come back and that's a new stage now. ok. so they're, they're probably watching carefully what's going on. yeah, but the focus is on iran 1st. they're a countries in the region also watching carefully as the americans. we saw the meeting in a combat. jordan, of course, and the i've states for me to is a united physician as far as what happens next in syria. but, you know, who wants to engage with h. c. s, and who do you think is still more on the fence right now as well? clearly that everyone, a principal has no problem in terms of engaging. and we now learned that the united states a self has been engaging with. so conceras group the, the question is, who is willing to stand by them until they establish a permanent state in syria. and when it comes to that, of course, there's a big division between those who are seeking a secular states in syria and those who are happy or at least can total rate and just let mr. g. and so yeah,
11:24 am
but any himself is under pressure from his own supporters to the push for and just i'm a state but t 4 until now he's saying all the right things about being open to a more secular proposition. and this is very much what we heard then what we would just if you remember when the party bind came to power. and this is, i think, is going to be tested over the coming few few weeks. and from this point to this is where i was saying added that the jessica, me just got to be really clear about his position because they really want to have good. i need to overcome the restrictions and the constraints internally. they do need to work with them above the table. working with them under the table is not going to add to his age, tennessee, and certainly allowing is ready to continue its attacks on. so again, infrastructure is not going to help in terms of installation and see. so if we are clear that this is what stability is gonna look like them, they need to go be behind him for the hoshevely. so time. thank you very much for joining us to come back. i think it's the
11:25 am
the another. well, he's at least 14 people have been killed in my jo taft or a psycho and hate the french overseas territory in indian ocean. the stone brought winds of more than 200 kilometers an hour to the island which lies between madagascar and mainland africa. psycho and chito is being described as the worst to hit the regions in nearly a century. with reports of informal settlements being flattened. the storm is now moving towards the eastern coast of africa, frances tending emergency personnel fits you and suggest you find more exception there. and if you mean, if it's a truly unusual situation that you have, they have some pain or climates events like this in may of since 1934, which included the wind with gusts of up to 226 kilometers per hour. and then right . and you know, that makes it times over this says on hillside success and does rain most of ran down hill and the land became on stables. it obviously was
11:26 am
a disaster. full make shift times have been completely destroyed or just hit the. and he said the defense ministry says 39 people have been killed into attacks in the west near the border with volcano fossil and ministry describe the attacks as her wrist. they can blamed criminal groups estimates, at least 1500 people have been killed by onto the sidney shack in the last year. the government of the r c and one that meets the leaders of the governments. i mean, to get on go that for a new round of talks on the long running conflict in eastern d r. c. the companies government accuses wanda of banking the m $23.00 onto which is seizing territory in the east. the fighting that has intensified in recent weeks, despite a tooth announced in august, millions of people have been displaced along we are. connie has been speaking to people at a refugee camp in the eastern city of coma, a meeting between presidents for the extra security of the democratic public of
11:27 am
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 norfolk, if we are the d r c for right now, is the hosting or most 7000000 of people informed me to know for them. 4 around this town of to go my here, this is why we're sending them here. people are saying they've seen such kind of music many times between. yes, you 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 roubles on the ground for more than 12 days without stole that he does even for more people, those who have twice even tool tool box in the village there were pushed. 1 to again, during the week, this is why people in the con, the settings are the only things for them is to go back home. that's the really
11:28 am
questioning how this would be possible. why did the official still not showing the we discussed with the m 23 levels, the roof solution and all of this is to ask president co domino for want of to remove. he sold this from the off seat in order to stop our sufferings. but you 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 they need to be honest and took seriously on the ongoing issues in the region. because since 3 years now that we're here suffering, these are these. we have discussed some of them 22 rebels officials this morning again. and they were very clear that the ongoing process in which they are saluting is multiple sending them for me to. because the only possibility for them to discuss we did the officials is in the day that today, you know, on the, the, is the one of the community members. but this possibility was also exempted by the, the superficial. this is why the hope of many people here and even in the progress old enough keep we up this but
11:29 am
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, i'll tell 0, goma the democratic republic of congo. the salary is top court is set to design free political faith of impeach president, use, so kill on saturday upon and voted to impeach you and 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 h the core to rule quickly. meanwhile, the vin will protest against the beach presidents. these are the scenes in the south korean capital, so way, hundreds of the not on the streets demonstrated say that keep up the pressure as a constitutional court considers you and states rob mcbride has more from soul in the off the mouth of you. and so, yells impeachment the priority. now it seems for all parties in south korea seems to be creating
11:30 am
a sense of reassurance. both at home and abroad. presidential powers have passed to prime minister a 102, but as a member of humans administration, he is also implicated in the in position of martial law. possibly also facing impeachment as a recognition of the disruption it would cause if he was to be impeached in presidential powers passing on to somebody else. the leader of south crew is made an opposition party, has said that he should continue in his job and not to face impeachment while at the same time, also calling on the constitutional court, which will hear the impeachment case against you to get home with its job quickly, i urge the constitutional court to safely proceed with the impeachment process of president union. so your that is the only way to minimize the nation is confusion and the people suffering acting president,
11:31 am
10 bucks who has been quick to reach out to south korea is most important. ally,
