to his release, i have to use like one text to talk to the president. the wasn't beat. i couldn't get help from no one, a sentiment that resonates with other victims and their families. demanding, not only help but safety to the israel says immediate risks of not disappeared with the fall of a side and hits dozens of what it calls military targets in syria. the sort of any age group the have you with us. this is elsa 0, live from to ha. also coming up in a desire to quote, double the is really population. it's government approves plans to expand the legal settlements in the occupied golan heights. at least 15 palestinians are killed in

an this really attack on a school housing displaced families in northern gods and clean up efforts. beginning on the french island of my yacht counselor, it was hit by the worse i quoted nearly a 100 years. the israel has launched more air strikes across syria targeting what it says on military sites is really media say the air force destroyed warehouses, storing missiles and rocket launch is near the town of castell that is in the country side of damascus. the capital and its workers government has offered to train the syrian army if the new administration asks for it. also its defense minister says there is no sign yet of a complete russian withdrawal from syria. large crowds of former syrian soldiers have gathered outside the police headquarters and hama province. they are trying to settle their legal in military status after the fall of the assad government.

meanwhile, the un special invoice of syria gear petterson has arrived in damascus and is calling for an end to western sanctions in order to help rebuild the country. a lever, hopefully a seo to create the sanctions so that we can see the really a rattling around building all syria again. and then my last point we need to see of course just is an accountability for crimes. i'm in need to make sure that that goes through a treadmill justice system l 0 is a sum of inch of aid. has this report from damascus. the sunday is the 1st working day across the worlds and life is limping back to know lucy, we are outside the gate of damascus university where hundreds, maybe thousands of students have been going in and out through the day that we've been here. and schools have also opened across the country, been hearing reports of various parts of the city of damascus, where people have actually returned back to work in various ministries as well. but

we were at one of the ministry of the information ministry earlier on, and they were telling us that they have to start live here a document, it's feet from below 0. there are lots of employees who existed only on paper. there were employees who took with them keys and important documents. somebody went to back to the car as with them who belonged to the former regime. so it is a going to be a difficult transition because they believe that it is now starting from the building block. so for how to run a fast one employee told us that the, this was somebody who was in charge of dealing with the media, but he had to come up and clean the office 1st so that he can start talking to people. so that gives you an idea of what the kind of difficulties people face in everyday life is going to take time to resume to normally we wouldn't need that for the fuel shortages. people were only allowed to get fuel via those cards that were issued by the previous regime, sim cards, getting them and getting data for them and, and charging them. it is also an issue. so those are everyday things that we take

for granted. and in this transition in sales, people are struggling to get by to get those things sorted again. water and electricity is also major. need any level of water supply. they've been cut for the last 4 days. they're trying to restore it, but they're struggling to find the engineers and the mechanics. we used to run the past. so as i said, this is the country in transition. it's a transition between take some time and doesn't look quite patients on behalf of the 2nd people to deal with the people who are now in charge. often more than a decade of conflict in syria, the united nations is 7400000 people remain displaced within its borders. it says 70 percent of the population needs, humanitarian aid, 90 percent lives in extreme poverty. the large cities of a level, hama and homes have enjoyed the worst of serious displacement crisis, with entire communities uprooted because of the civil war. the syrian white helmets, a group offered assistance throughout the war and has dispatched teams. they are expected to focus on the rebuilding and recovery for root cubby,

but is deputy general manager of the store in white helmets. i spoke to him earlier and he says, syrian refugees returning to their homeland, facing the uncertain future. as there may not be much for them to go on to the off thousands and thousands of people who are trying to get back home. you'll see the crossing points at the borders, but they've been on entered keion called it was people who tried to come, but to be honest, once people arrived back to their homes, many of them a big disappointment because there is a lot of destruction in many neighborhoods in many finishes the lives here is livable mind i solve my own discharge and uh they were uh, he was about a few where the situation warrants are and then it goes to the systems are actually uh, damaged. so we have a lot of work ahead who cleared the unexplored in the ordinance. you know,

a lot of millions may be a flat mines and explosives and also munition, which we need to clear the, the levels which we need to remove and open to votes. and we need to have like a, the infrastructure to enable those are the piece and re refuse to continue to return home. of israel's government has approved a plan to expand settlements in the occupied golden heights and comes a week after the army invaded the un buffer zone between the territory and 7 serious prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the government acted in light of the new front facing syria and wants to double the israeli population on the golden heights. israel has expanded its occupation of this area on golden heights after the collapse of besides regime nor day reports from jordan's capital a mine because these really government has banned out from 0 from reporting in the occupied west bank and inside israel. these rarely prime minister has announced that he intends to double the number of his ready settlers in the occupied syrian

go on heights. this is syrian territory that israel occupies, has occupied since 1967. and in the past few days since the fall of the sad to redeem israel has moved into the buffer zone in syria and territory and beyond that effectively expanding its occupation of syrian territory. now the announcement about increasing the number of supplements has to do with an up or 2 moments. on the one hand, you have a donald trump about to be sworn into office this month, recognized israel sovereignty over the golan heights of 2019, even though that violates international law. nobody in the world recognizes israel sovereignty over the goal line, but not 10 yahoo! using this moment to announce more a supplement activity in order to entrench that occupation and make it permanent, it's much like he's doing in the occupied westbank land grab supplements,

permanent occupation, not all the address data. i'm not the israel plans to shut it's dublin embassy siding, ireland, empty israel stance. those relations between the 2 nations further deteriorate. dublin has called the decision deeply regrettable. last week, ireland supported south africa's genocide case against israel at the international court of justice. in october, ireland and una feel rejected israel's calls to withdraw peacekeepers from level known citing is really forces proximity to irish troops as concerning. and it may, ireland, alongside spain and norway recognize palestine as a state prompting israel to records invoice. a bobby mcdonough is a former irish ambassador to the u. k. u and italy. you're joining us sir from

dublin. thank you for your time. your reaction to israel shutting its embassy in our live a well, it's like, oh, it's a southern country and it's free to take whatever decisions it wants. but it's, um it's, it's a broad island does. likewise, the southern country with a somewhat higher model standing in the world and as well as at the moment. and we also say precheck, how decisions about the balance not just peaceful retreat, consistency down in relation to the complex and then at least so what, what happens today he's up to what he is, right? especially on the arch, not much has as you say, make sure it was a progressive will. but the arch position does not ideas where. ready it is company's called human rights pro international law across your mind, sir, you know, the ultimate truth is, it has no pun scruggs. it's on embassy in tennessee, and we do hope to keep the money channels open because that's important to everybody else. so i'm wondering how you actually read the decision. i mean, the why of it or why is this real doing? this is this for domestic political consumption to show, hey we are, you know,

we're putting pressure on the countries that have moved in ways that we deem hostile or is this perhaps a way to put pressure on other countries that or maybe considering recognizing palestine as a state or the state to to say is that the 2 elements of these are the fundamental ministry statements on today's decision to her completely false. the 1st is that the accused items on the street on tiers right? questions. this is not true either just taking a balanced approach, which at the moment involved. so who you can tell me for thomas's that 2 years ago, but also conducting totally just before she is ready response. that's a problem is that should not be what the noise as well is that motivation is seen by them as extremism. and the 2nd thing that's even more ludicrous is the obligation of the symmetric rhetoric on the account of the armstrong. and that's not just wrong. it's over nonsense, i hope you enjoy it as well. with understand that there is a one single example of an artist on making your next semester remark. she's cartridge the deliberate conversation by the present is ready to comment on some of

the supporters in the world. conflation between g semitism which is the scourge, whatever it happens. it's not particularly the problem tonight. and condemnation of the good tests behavior of the as i don't know which we we, we heard just now in your program. 16 more people does this every day and we see it without eyes. and so what the government's position in general and specifically and condemning the killings in guys if it's different course. and then just from the feelings is very much effective advice. public opinion. what does this tell us about israel? there there's a country that is and so in this case on ireland that is supporting a court case against israel, or this is about international law and about facts where evidence is presented. it's not politics, it's law. and israel in response shuts down, it's embassy in that country, as well as 2 things saying that the verses that it has chosen to close its embassy in dublin, but not attend. this is in the direct and also i just worked in lock step with no

insight. so there's something going on there. i mean, possibly i think it's easier to click on a small country and it is more than able to sign up for itself. but the maybe saw some of them there. you asked me what's going on? i think quite honestly, that there is a degree of irrationality going on. i mean, i do understand the deep emotions in israel following the homeless attacks and as well. but if a country ceases to be able to behave rationally by, for example, contending items rather street motors and balanced approaches being anti semitic is not only do a top section for, for our country and, but it's also not very optimistic about the future of israel. i mean, you can get what you can get away with saying that sort of thing when it comes to rationally behave rationally about international relations in the longer run. it's really not good for, for itself. can you speak to when there's a big, high profile event like this, right, a headline grabbing event one country,

shutting down and embassy and another country over the over an event. and this case on island supporting south africa and a genocide case against israel. when there's that in the public guys, what's actually going on behind closed doors? are there more measured, more reasonable discussions and conversations between diplomats behind closed doors for not, as well as the sound of hope that the irish embassy would remain open to tell these? um, certainly the ice government intentions you said showed i think it is important to maintain dialogue. that means these ready seconds also start today. that is where it will calibration, tennessee is abroad in proportion to house a point to fit out of israel. that's more or less of those on the exact words, but that's not the way international diplomacy works. you have to have them as you normally and countries that are friends with you between countries with which you have differences. and i don't know if there's always stood solidly behind the right and as we have to exist and we believe strongly in israel's right, we're just, we are going to just consistently come down quite a lot. but how much do,

what does the same time we're profound believers in a 2 state solution, the will be no peace, long term, and then at least or less equal or right. so the palestinians, i am such equal rights of the product sims, which is why it is not recognized. and that's what the heart of the are starting to approach bobby mcdonough, former irish ambassador to the u. k. u in italy and thank you for joining us on elsie's 0. thank you. a palestinian journalist has been killed in and is really striking. central gaza. i met a lou that's his name was working at the time and he contributed to several media outlets. the organization, reporters of that borders as more than a 145 during list have been killed by the israeli army and gaza since the start of the war. there in october 2023 houses here as in hotel r. as in darrow, by the in central guys, a hen do you know more about what happened? well, what happened is an is where the air strikes target to the civil defense office and

i'm most laid off in the middle area where some of them know and other civil defense members were sitting in this office now at the air strike killed by the law and 5 other civil defense members and they were on send bikes to move. if any targets happens, or any air strikes happened and they wanted to rescue those people, no f, a month has been turned into a since day one embedded 2 ambulances to see what the funds seemed moving every single time. there's some talk he was working with civil media outlets and not only that he always had exclusive coverage to an attack at the beginning in the early bit moments. and not only that with mohammed by lucia yesterday. you might have something a couple of days ago now the death toll of the palestinian turn. those who have been targeted by that is where the forces is 195 journalists. now it's not only this that, that was not only on a journalist,

but also on civil defense teams. and we have at least 3 bodies of civil defense, the members that were transferred to i left the hospital. the other ones are in the hospital, but it's obvious that there's going to be a funeral. and now the civil defense numbers are bidding farewell to their team members and colleagues. it's another heart breaking day for policy news. civil defense teams journalists at we were $130.00. how many times are we going to continue reporting on the killings of our colleagues and be loved ones? a hand. thank you very much for your reporting. as you say, a heartbreaking data palestinians. heartbreaking day for during lessons for journalism, sorry, and for anybody even remotely interested in freedom of the press and hold all of your thank you very much for your reporting there. and and darrow bhalla is really forces, has been boarded, northern and central parts of gaza, killing 46 palestinians in just the past 24 hours. at least 15 were killed in

a single attack on a school housing display families in by noon, and come up with one hospital, a place where palestinians should be able to seek medical care is instead faced with the risk of death is really army has once again targeted staff and patients there and in central gaza funerals have been healthy, people killed and is really attacks on darrow. the children are among the victims of the overnight attacks. one targeted tense and a make shift refugee camp. the still ahead on alpha 0. it's not the child's plane. what subtracting youngsters into armed comes in haiti the the that by now you might expect the floods in southern and tied on to be over with the seasonal rain moving sides. but actually it's gone north again and the forecast and

monday there's yet more heavy rise or something tylen and some for financing. but i use here, but to be honest, this is for the north and don't be at this time of the year elsewhere. and the nice thing to media you would expect to find the 2 areas of very heavy, right? and this attempt to circulation means the threat is the for the central and southern philippines of at least have you right? this is most seasonally correct. proper winter into the ons of japan, it's cold in the korean peninsula and back through to china. sunshine is prevalent unless you are the wrong side of the region which is true for most of problems. you where you've either got rain or snow depending you know, height above the sea level to the colleagues there is writing work use way in a slightly circulation across the by bang. go into festivals for line can that's the forecast for monday with a strengthening when. so that'd be flooding here and then probably into tunnel. now that you fall time you get to choose today and it will run up to and for dash as well. at least some parts of the coast elsewhere sunshine prevails throughout india . thank vision pack is done, but in the north indian plain,

of course there is persistence at this time of the year of fault or smoke. despite occasional movement of the, the south korea's working population is dwindling. and ford employees have become crucial to the country's economy. but many are variable to exploitation and dangerous conditions. 11 east itself could be as migrant workers. on l g 0 or showcase of the best document 3 films from across the network. on al jazeera, the

the, you're watching else 0 reminder of our headlines this, our israel has launched more airstrikes across syria targeting dozens of what it says or military sites. is really media say the air force destroyed warehouses, storing missiles and rocket launch is near the town of style in the damascus countryside. israel's government has approved the plan to expand settlements in the occupied golden heights. comes a week out of the army invaded the un buffer zone between the territory and some serious prime minister benjamin the says the government wants to double these really population on the golden ice. and at least 15 palestinians have been killed in a single attack on a school housing displaced families. and they knew it is really forces have bombarded northern and central parts of gaza. killing 46 people in just the past 24 hours a syrians in for us or in the streets

a week after the fall of the assad ration they're celebrating. what they say is the victory of the syrian people. also 0 is natasha. butler was at the rally and parents many to miss stokes, absorbing what has happened. many wants to know what he's going to happen next. will some 30000 people arrived and frauds from syria during the civil war. i'm joined by one of the push for as the views of rights activists here in paris. you arrive to and frauds 3 years ago, we were just talking you moments ago. and we were talking about how people are feeling here is that, of course, as always enjoyed celebration, but many people use say in your community also talking about what's gonna happen next. yeah. i think our joy is the new will do after the symbolic friday. that's happened in damascus. and let's act yeah, in that on of the with. and i think today you this joyce would be said by some so many people around the world because this victory is shared with everyone. because it's adored for fighting infinity and finding it and i holding all the criminals

accounts of a sudden from a sub. and this is glad, but also put in nothing you i hope everyone will committed crimes against humanity and what times. so also i think you'd open the, the neighboring countries would be happy. we've got, you know, but not co states that was endangering the whole reason. so i think yes, we are happy and anyone who tries to take this away. this is the law school is because we are happy and we are assured that this is what we want, that we wanted to get rid of this big data that's with us, oppressed us and present us and displaced us for 54 for yourself. why did you say you wanted to get rid of this? dictate to aside has gone you personally for sure. i came here 3 years ago. you have a life in problems now that you've created. what would you consider going back to syria? yes. again, i think this is one of my dreams to go back to celia and have our to position as the day of school because we left because of us. and we would love to go back. but

it has to be our decision which has to be pushed a way before knowing that this is steve. and this is the state where we are driving up. and today i think we would fight to be able to go to city, but we would get them to use the weekends go knowing that we can come back to the live that we built for the friends we made to the projects we started to the investment we said we invested in this country is a clean up efforts are underway on the southern indian ocean island of may. your downstair was hit by the worst cycle and in nearly a century, at least 14 people have been killed. the rescue teams on the french overseas territory, a clearing roads and debris, a cycle and she'd overall wins of more than 200 kilometers an hour, with reports of settlements being flattened stitching suggest you apply more exception then, and 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 6 years and does rainbows around downhill and the land became on stables. it obviously was a disaster. full make sure of times have been completely destroyed, just hit the cycle. and she though, has also made a land full in mozambique. and d taylor is you'd assess chief of advocacy and communication there. he says, mozambique has been hit hard by the storm of the impact here and by some because as well, so be by substantial. so i to, to made it awful athletics where i am now in temper and the buzz on the beach and the house this morning. and it's not, it doesn't make sense tropical cycling and a 0 pulse that bringing with windsor uh around $200.00 comes to sprout. and chris deal. a lot of rain. probably see some of the sounding water in the background behind me around the city this morning. take a look at the impacts and assess what is the initial critical needs population? eric, see a lot of destruction, a lot of re song houses and schools help get sensors being put off operation.

people are really starting to deal with, with the impact that they face to and in need of immediate document at certain support which is that is working together on this. and so both of governments provide but it is a very typical situation and something. yeah. and that price the whitening off my shoes for the you and agency for the protection of children says there's been a huge job search and gang recruitment of children in hating games. already control 85 percent of for the prince. and with more children on the front line, they end to see total control of the capital houses here as theresa bowl reports. there are members of the v. then some gang coalition, important friends, are fighting to extend their control over haiti's capital. but many of them are just children. that dunwoody not his real name is 14. he has been in the gang since he was 12. his father was killed 2 years ago. his mother is too ill to take care of him. the police kills my friends, my father,

my uncle's. so i'm fighting for revenge. i shouldn't be in again. but this is what we haven't hate to. we're hoping to control the apples again and then control the whole country. uni seth says child recruitment has increased 70 percent in the past year as violence has swamped this carry the a nation. there used as fighters informants enforce labor conditions. deteriorated in the capital after the kidding of president julian invoice. in 2021. the united nations has a security support admission here. $400.00 canyon forces were helping the police and the fight against guns. the lady is 16 years old. he's an old friend. he says the gangs have given him a purpose. the chief treats us well. he trusts us with the money we say for him and gives us everything we need. maybe i should have been in school, but it's not our fault. the government is responsible and that's why we've taken up some children in haiti or struggling, performed education,

and are now extremely vulnerable to recruitment may use all at any possible. so yet, in some cases they do go when they track the child and their family. if they refuse to come and join the army group, in other cases they will promise food and security and income for the family and for the childs in other cases, they try the are really busy. they're, they're quite good at using social media that i am always important princess working in haiti has become extremely difficult for international organizations. the security situation, frankly, is making our work much more difficult. it's making and more costly and much more complicated. but it also makes our board even more unnecessary because children are children no matter what, whether it is a child who has been forced to join in our school for now, it seems the international community has failed to find a solution to the ongoing crisis in haiti. and of the conflict continues to

escalate. children have now taken a crucial road on the front line base. i will, i just need to talk to end the long running conflict in eastern democratic republic of congo have collapsed. it was hoped the high level discussion is due to be held in angola, would end fighting between the companies army and the and $23.00 armed group. but the police president's office says negotiations with foreign ministers. it's the deadlock after a london demand to hold direct talks with the arm group and why county isn't going to in eastern d r c with more for the odyssey and the rhonda the or the opposed on different subject. even though the mid to the president of gold has been trying to put the 2 countries on the same move in order to find someone else on the one that is a saying that to the is present in the, in the goal is to resolve the issue between the 2 country which was clear to the, to the different, declared us one of the,

the obviously president provoking is gone 3 according to the one donal officials, for example, by threatening alonzo to attack him from gold mines on them. yesterday this meeting was normally followed by the ministers offering affairs. if we go to the sauces from the dealer superficial thing, that's fine, idea of the odyssey was worthy to, to go about in the dialogue directed dialogue with them during the 3 in the eastern africa community. but then today they denied that they were not waiting for this. the issue remained to resolve the problem data to be 21 dot who is all of them for the 2 levels. issues. this is what the one that is denying and then it does move fairly again today to find sort of sorted between the 2 people. so these are the 2 subject to which for years now and if possible, right now, the 2 countries are not up to now coming together to find solace on people in georgia or protesting. again, the day after is governing party selected a new president,

former football or misfire will cover lashley was the only candidates on the ballot . opposition parties, boy gone through the votes, accusing the government of electro fraud. demonstrators are angry that the ruling georgia dream party has the rails the bid for e u membership, and they're calling to new elections. unless you have our tanya and as an independent, political and list for the south, clark is this region. she says the protests reveal an ongoing issue with the legitimacy of georgia as government. well, we just understand that president in georgia is a very symbolic of course, chase. so not really a decision making position. so in that sense, a person who is going to occupied, we see it, it will be in many cases of prolongation of the ideology that is kind of bring in that person to.
