3:07 am
a hold the reports from that a for years the syrian regime laid siege to the suburbs around the capital, damascus, among them that you long known for its opposition. but short i said, and his regime are gone. a new reality is now in place. this is an area that tells the story of the brutal crack down that peaceful protestors faced when they took to the streets. at the start of the uprising neighborhoods were flattened. oh, felicia, which boarded missed the military airport. was one's home just that was still empty . even though the regime recaptured the year in 2016, but no one was allowed to go back or rebuild of got out of my house used to be an out of college area and i returned and i am paying rent that what, what should i do who will rebuild it? we don't have the money to redeem us the cause of serious displacement crisis. and

3:10 am
dollars, syria doesn't have. this is about we building a state, a country, and the nation center for their eligibility to the you, syria, the winds on board of syria gear petterson has visited the notorious and i, a prison on the outskirts of damascus. he met angry demonstrators who say the un shouldn't of intervene to prevent the crimes that took place in the prison. petterson called for those who committed war crimes during a subs rain to be held to account. we all have been shifted. and i think the last 4 votes about what happened here. i have no told to some of the prisoners, some of the 10 these some of the families. so the grandchildren's adults so vacated here. we have seen some who survived. i think it's been on speak of all the horrors that they went through with a new administration in syria. there are questions about the future of siri and

3:13 am
a delicate balancing act for the united nations to interact with groups that it is technically prohibited from interacting with. it's also, i think this idea that they're talking about interacting with groups on the ground, speak new groups on the ground reflection of the fact that there are multiple groups on the ground with various different foreign backers and various different status is before the united nations and international law, as for the flag outside the un, it's do the aside your syrian flag. but the un says, as soon as they are instructed to do so by the syrian mission, they will change to the new flag. it's now seen flying over much of the country. gabriel's on to out you see the united nations in new york ousted president bush shuttle says he had no plans to play syria. and what is purported to be his 1st statement. since the fall of the machine said who was granted assigned to by, the russian government says he planned to keep fighting opposition forces. i said,
