12:09 pm
and 15 years of a brutal civil war is over. but it will take years, if not decades, to have the ones they caused. this was to have that which is 0, damascus wiley's ready tongue. so now stationed in towns and villages in syria's south west as well as military, has expanded its occupation of the syrian golden hive. since the collapse of yasandra shame with us here, i will not bow it has more from can a truck in southwest in syria to the house. i was opening to lodge and move on to be sure to go with the heathen few months as it were. however, were at the center of kinetic govern. you're 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.
12:10 pm
boston i've called her blah, blah, blah, blah. so 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 would lead connecticut comb with with what the just have to do 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 a search operation as per eye witness accounts for these reinforces 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 level it out. probably about other stuff last month, a sort of an avoids just as you how about an international push for stability in
12:11 pm
syria is gaining momentum, regional and western diplomats gather in jordan on saturday to discuss the country's future. they call for a peaceful and inclusive political transition. nor, or they has more from the meeting in the port city of a comma, a marathon meetings of arab and international diplomats to discuss all matters relating to syria. and what comes next, agendas converge, tearing, aka, but they didn't always overlap. hair of states formulated a united position. nobody said 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. and lucky. they've voice the same concerns. so we have just now we also talked about the negative is really role in the importance of stopping is really aggressions on siri and territory and withdrawing from the buffer zone. it has occupied,
12:12 pm
in flagrant violation of the 1974 disengagement agreement to key it also left its way to the new syria international community shall 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 process should be showing led. and so 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, you 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 all players understand the risks to achieve transitional justice and
12:13 pm
rebuild state institutions. the new administration in damascus will need international support the 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, a journeyman now is sold on by a cat professor of public policy at home. i've been highly for university here in doha. good to have you again with us so time. so we heard that what the international community expects from the new leadership in syria. but what can they offer this new leadership in order for them to achieve these goals and, and help rehabilitate siri a? well, obviously each of those who met and in the hospital has their own agenda within syria. and the number one priority really is for them to agree on a common vision and then to start to reach out to the city. and i'm pretty government of this transitional government that's been set up and trying to see how
12:14 pm
and what can they do to add to. is this your tennessee? it's not about the international community and their positions of sylvia. it's about the people see it 1st feeling safe and secure in the hands of s t s and whatever government they come up with. and for that to happen, the international community then needs to think shift and it's a bit of depositions. and we, i assure the city of people, for example, the united states has 2 cars and it's times one is as well. mm. and i think that they should call on these various publicly to a stop bombing and syria and undermining the. so then institutions disadvantaged, the transitional government, digital sci fi, and the, to withdrawal from the lines that they will be occupied or provide now. and then they have the card of the co dishes melisha is across the for ages. and for that, they need to assure the codes that they are not gonna present them as
12:15 pm
a compromise to tokyo. and for that to happen again, there's a major data that has to take place for other countries, particularly the neighboring countries around sylvia. georgia. main concern is an economist state in, in so yeah, because that will inevitably spread and trigger islamist uh, as aspirations across jordan, iraq is word in terms of the extension of the war or particular. i think the targeting of the she uh within sylvia. right. so they would be obliged to take a position if the government turns it's a guns against the, the she off. so uh and okay, of course this been the wild card for, for a while. they have kept communication throughout was the so, you know, position with this and everyone who visited the borders between to k a and, and they would know that the relationship is long established for years, right. they've, they've been the lifeline for, for the movement. so
12:16 pm
a lot of stakeholders with competing interests with varied interest in syria coming back to the americans, how significant visits that they've now established. it would seem a direct line of communication with a cs, with the new leadership in syria. could that mean that recognition could soon be on the way? not necessarily. i mean the americans, i've been talking for the taliban, for example, for years. and they still did not recognize the telephone government. and they still have many of its members listed as terrorist a to nationally. so it's not to say that americans a bit like there's a these, they feel they can operate above dental. and in the, in the name of pursuing peace, they can do whatever they wish. now, the threat is that they may come to other nations like say, a jordan and others, and hold them accountable for having made contact with these groups when things fall apart. so while they allow themselves to make that contact, they may not allow other nations to, to be in that position. but ultimately,
12:17 pm
as i said before, i think the, their main concern in syria is the security of israel. they had in principle, concern about serious freedom and democracy is the job that they now understand and they have tried for 14 years. and they were not able to take really big steps to allow the city and people to to liberate themselves and they passed. so is unlikely that they will do it. now the limitation is very much around the security of as well. all right, so time always get to get your analysis on the situation in the region. thank you very much for joining 19, which is here. the, the war on guys are now and is ready for just have fun. bonded northern guys that overnight. and he just sunday morning 15 palestinians have been killed in an as try going to school housing to space people in bates. i know on an early attack and
