the propagation carl's to try and promote regroup, but that solution is just a drop in the ocean with so many of the wealth carls under the trends of extinction . despite the marine results may soon be lost for the delegation of the senior us diplomats rise in damascus. adults with leaders of the new syrian administration. the 1st such a visit for more than a deck, the colored so rahman wardrobes, they were like my headquarters here in the whole. so coming up nowhere to hide in gauze, the reserves, relentless at times, still dozens of people as rescue a scrambled saves the volume. has the ukrainian capital comes under attack by

a russian massage. at least one person is killed plus budget. chaos on capitol hill, a us government shut down looms as donald trump wades into the argument about the spending bill, the welcome to the bank and for the 1st time in mold and a decade senior us government officials all visiting the syrian capital. the state department's top middle east diplomats and bob relief is amongst them. the delegation will meet the needs there in administration, headed by either the shuttle to discuss what the us is cooling transition principles. washington designates the group shot are leads as a terrorist organization. the u. s. a said, the recognition and support of the new administration depends on at keeping to principals. agreed with the regional on this show table here from the bottom,

but says that's cause i have to devise cuz my husband outbreak standing by for us high hush. and so the us delegation finally arrives in the hall. toll begins and the one on the list suggested to me earlier that the us is testing the water. rather than dictating terms what, see what analysis of the situation indeed, so hey, they are testing the waters here in damascus. we do know from our sol says that they have this killing meeting with members of the civil society. ok to this, but the i yet to meet with any seeing the official from the new governing authority here in the past is quite a significant development for high at the heading of the sample. uh, looking forward to get more sense of international recognition now that they are in control of syria. so bob, i'll leave along with the uh, hostage. oh boy,

what would the cost sense of the special advice that daniel rubenstein got into how gauge a sense of the situation here in damascus before they get back to washington dc, and be the bind in administration about the latest development. but i have to tell you, so how you that for hey i to hey this um and how about the setup input ticket? uh the hod. now into this page where they are saying we need more and more to see the delegations coming to them. ask us until came to us about the crucial issues at stake, the ticket, a smooth transition to democracy. but above all, the need to provide political and finance. so assistance for the best or thought a to and for that can take a government in damascus. but i've been in touch with people of they have to how do they some of the i yes. to confirm whether these going to be any meeting between them and the us diplomats. so one to watch,

certainly in the coming hours. so the movement of motion assign cubicles will keep postage with you as that happened at school so but to know or day he's reporting from the jordanian capital. i'm on a cheese that because he's writing the government has done dollars deserve operating in israel and the occupied west bank at nor high. but we do know that the americans also wants have clarity on the relationships to a new syria would have with israel. and that's exactly how israel is viewing this engagement with the us delegation because that is an issue on the west and border the opposite of this israel. as soon as the subdivision fell, went into syrian territory on what might say occupied additional syrian territory with the support of the united states. and the 5 net ministration has made it very

clear that they want assurances that a new syria under h t. s. under some of the shutter would not be at more with is where it would not retaliate at the unprecedented bombardment of all assets of the syrian army. so that there are questions that it will be posed if discussions happen in damascus and it's telling me would be at ease knowing that barbara leaf and biden administration officials would a push for that policy lines on their behalf in damascus. no, thanks very much for the update. of course, obviously we'll check in with you once we get more developments from your neck of the woods. that's cool. so if it's a leo, he's the former director general of the foreign ministry of isabella, enjoys this outline from television. this little was good to have you on the program. it's really interesting isn't it, that the us is in syria right now? that might be just speaking on behalf of themselves, but more than likely speaking on behalf of tel aviv too,

because as well as watching very closely it still sure. i'm the confidence that this, that occasion after meeting the your tv computers. and we went both ways, right? and we'd communicate with these, read the information, that is what it would be getting. all these thoughts would be great. because every way we'd be remove the fee is the sea ice. continuing as a, as an anatomy concrete is a very low side of the country. and that the job here when change is what we know this, that when the stains think to them, we need very measures that they don't care so far. i think the additional information that is very searching is the end of june of the americas, the world go any involvement in seattle because eh, easily see you also as a whole country,

all the equipment issues. and that we've been at the turn key entry definitely. and the, when see doing the turkey will be in charge of the new the slow for super. yeah. as they don't even know me is very limited to how to create it. so the distribution formation goals is very both ways. but at this stage, mister b a, it is important also that we are now just one month away from presidents that donald trump entering the white house, the delegation that's in damascus right now, is biting the pointed. do you think that position is going to change or to the dynamics will change once president trump takes office? i am not sure a because the 0. yeah. they they because of the americans are very me

why they don't want to see is the question the. ready the fan, the codes in the syria, this is a cost of maybe you can drift especially or by the may be less so strong because these less due to the issue of human rights. and the other thing is that the serial will not continue to be anatomy to the west, and to is for us to do on this issue of the syrian behavior doing this way. and the reason that so please follow this is a critical issue. i don't, i don't see a deep seated between by the drum. oh, shall wait to see what sort of statements come out of damascus. i'm sure we'll get more now. let's assume you in the days ahead for the name and thank you very much. the thank you. 97000000 people fled syria when the civil war

began in 2011, most of them in the waiting, whether to go back home or not. but the head of the humans migration agencies as the return of display, syrians and high numbers, they overwhelm the country and negatively impact the transition. that's why we're encouraging the states to look at the specific case of individuals to approach this in a comprehensive way to assess the safety, security, and infrastructure, the opportunities that exist in different parts of the country. and to start with a needs assessment of the, the syrians who are now in their country to determine where it is they plan to go back. what are their particular concerns they have, we very much encourage states to take a comprehensive approach, work with all of the actors in the space, work with the caretaker government so that we can achieve last in peace and stability, which is, which is of course good for the syrians, but frankly,

is also good for the surrounding countries and the countries that now continued to host syrians. well, things serious new administration has promised to focus on his rebuilding and economy by to, by years of civil war. many essential goods are in short supply and i'm involved report style from the capital damascus. this is email for some a said may have gone what this economy legacy is system here. good quality bread is hard to come by. so tonight to block democracy matches just a short discussion despite the fact. so using this week, a fuel and goss, i'm sure it's flight smart jumps from 11 on because locally produced both of us to have some pop, often temperature. yet these people who be cuing here since don't say they're willing to give the new lead as the benefit of the doubt. we're happy the previous situation is gone, but we haven't seen much change yet. no, no,

that's yes. we've got to be liberated, but we need support. we need food and jobs so that we can live the way you were willing to be patients up until the conditions get better. just the beginning that we saw has given us lots of joy, state subsidies for basic commodities, disappeared. winbush on a set of them from bread and other commodities, used to be provided and stick to the limited quantities through adoption called system. the manager of the about whom a vacant, he says, all the prices on some of these guys and remove there's plenty of breath to buy. flowers suppliers say they are selling less for the reason. that was the, the haven't this for just this week. the bakeries daily need and flour has decreased by 25 percent. so our production is down from 17021300 tons. that's because people are feeling more confident and are no longer buying huge amounts of bread to stock. what did the yellow to see the system suffering,

the crisis incentives. the company used not only to be self sufficient in wheat, but the next 4 digits of what the civil war. the 1st situation during the war shortages pushed the costs and stopped the city of to take annual steps such as swapping domestically produced suite for imported wheat fall. since this was the export, the 1000 tons of 1st grade weight to assure or easily in exchange for 2 or 3000 tons of a low quality product dictate ago there was no single green of imported wheat. the silas? no, it's the opposite. we 3 pulse, the question is suspending each suite exports to syria and the long delay that agencies with this. yeah. the companies and you need is maybe faced with a zip challenge to feed the people, how much the fine deal the most, the,

the civilian death told and goals are as rising. goes as rialto is just indiscriminate. bombing campaign is right. the forces of killed at least 7 palestinians across the strips and stored on friday. attacks in gaza. city and giovanni and the knolls rasa in the south district camp in the center of the strip on thursday killed dozens to shelters in gauze. the city also targeted both the housing families forcibly displaced from the homes. this will save its tunnel cover as a my correspondent team towards the stuff from the outlet in central garza. while the whole strip is affected day in day out, there was a real focus on the news for the moment as well. time, right yeah, that's right. the, the, the, another part of garza has been a focus point for the is why the tax on the straight during the past 24 hours of the health ministry sites is that $77.00 palestinians. 3 killed during the past 24

hours by doing relates and sadly i was this morning that the focus has been pretty much from the north. we managed to get reports coming from to valley or to do some site and that leaves managed to them together and recovered at least the 3 palestinians who were killed alley a week ago. and this the best find that the bus majority of apartment tops have to be a graveyard for families. we decided to stay in the valley or even in but yeah, and they have refused to leave these areas now. oh, so one of the latest is by that tax street in the past took place on the gates of come on as one hosting. so that was pretty gates has been audited by the used by the, on the re, a closing significant disruption pump videos. and even the image is coming from the facility. if somebody's one hospital showing how this place has been overwhelmingly destroyed by these very minutes, we tend to be across town right now. covered with stuff starting the smoke coming from 2 things that had been destroyed. but the bleak reality as well is that somebody is really struggling,

especially those who have been wounded to reach come on at one hospital, you to the very notable deployment of quite up to drones and fight to jets. and this kind of a devalue refugee camp. it's for full so mentioning that the minutes reparation has been ongoing with no sort of a bad thing till now in big now. yeah, as the is, is just the magic destruction that had been inflicted to that area is quite on like a president of even not too sometimes of the destruction of civil infrastructure and residential units to target to of using that for us with that update. perfect. thank you. and others, can garza city on thursday? why was very trying to talk to the call every mile. colleen was that the scene of that is that i can send this report the the

to have here on which is the, is there anything since it's going the run page in the village and they will keep bind westbank. those details coming up after the break, the in depth analysis of the days headlines. what are we supposed to read painting through the use of this and you miss all by russian informed opinions. finally, after over a year of genocide, the i c. c has come to this decision, critical debate. the difference between china and most of the rest of the world is a china plans long term inside story do conferences and meetings like cop 29 and others make a difference on out as the era. is there any sign of relief for the millions of

palestinians in gaza for now stuck between an outgoing fight in administration and an incoming trumpet to industries? now that americans have decided to put forth back in the white house? what can the country in the world expect the quizzical look of us qualities? the bottom line? the latest news as it breaks, the lack of stages owens means that even when be sweating, scott shoot. civilians are affectively trapped with no chance of survival with detailed coverage and nobody watch all kinds lawyer wants to come out as well as hospital car reading shows lessons and blanket as it's officially winter here from the hall. so the story is what your plans have targeted this school which is silver and thousands of cal for years will have been forcibly displayed from there is a bit le devices. you can a news

the village y'all just bear with me. so rom, and into a reminder of our top story, senior us government officials all visiting the syrian capital for the 1st time in more than a decade. the state department's top middle east diplomatic bob relief is among them. they'll meet the new administration headed by amazon sharks to discuss what the us calling transition principles pays really attacks from the news to the south of the gauze and strength of killed these full t palestinians fairly on thursday to shout to the golf. the city amongst the targets based on housing families, supposedly displaced from the, the ukraine says multiple russian missiles of the capital. keep getting one person on injuring another to emergency teams at the scene. and dial signifies in 3

neighborhoods. earlier, the russian forces carried out to try and attack the mass of ki vitaly kitchen as well and residents to stay in bottom jobs as well as defense team shoot down will be cycles. well, the russian forces of also shall the city of casual while attempting to advance towards key bridge. the one person was killed a night injured as rockets and all tillery struck residential areas. you're putting in forces say that the buckling russian troops near the end on the vic coverage on the, the new pro river. we joined the by, i'll correspond alex topless, whose life for us of the ukrainian port city of odessa, a very fluid day about what's going on, alex, what do we know right now? a very much so. so as you recall to several of these hypersonic missiles, russian high performing missiles penetrated, you creating a defensive hit the capital, some were shut down, but some woods,

the targets were like michelle production plans in situated in cuba. and also ukraine. come out of control sentence. you mentioned kirsten. now her phone is for the south in the bend of the me per river is seeing of those russian advances in the past. i don't see ukrainian victories as ukrainians pushed russian forces back over the river. now there's been, there been reports, a russian reconnaissance units, crossing the river to try and prove ukrainian defenses possibly as a, as a, i'm a forefront of any kind of potential attack. these are being driven back, but also there's been showing going on as well. now this is a strategic part, there's all russian lead units, everyone units, marine infantry units that are based on the other side of the river cause they're expecting some sort of ukranian advance and everything. but as you can, as you know, the russians complicated any potential river in a sold by blowing up

a couple of them and flooding the entire area, make it very difficult for the ukrainians to cross. well, that's so much movement on the ground, alex, we're also seeing you might say, the political rhetoric as well. because if you listen to the president to lensky and president putin just within the last 24 hours, the impression you get from either mine is that no closer to pull king across the negotiating table. yes, absolutely. so the president zalinski has said he's entertaining, or he's moving the idea of a european forces, big allowed in to oppose conflict ukraine to monitor any potential piece with a temporary or permanent id. but he says that we will only allow these troops in ukraine is allowed to join nato, which is something that there is still disagreements amongst the nato members.

whether this should happen or not, of see nature, not one thing to be drawn into. a direct conflict with russia. president putin has been said he is open to negotiations, but there's no real rush for him. but the moments at the moment the, the russians are winning and they're pushing the ukrainians back on a daily basis. now what is going to happen when president leg from takes pa is, is open to discussion groups, you'll find out in 4 weeks. and it's a topless that force in odessa think. those are the satellites of stone. they don't keep hard westbank village of modem. is that fine to a most causing significant damage? they've a race of slogans on his tools and roles. he's right in the army then rated the building and interrogated worship. as in july, the international court of justice declared as well as occupation of palestinian london lawful st. legal settlements. the occupied west bank must be evacuated, invested in christmas decorations and pilgrims are absent for a 2nd year in the town. but christians believe jesus was born,

the church of the nativity and main describe arisen an empty taurus of staying way because of all i'm getting is riley military operations be occupied. westbank is what the forces of intensified that right since the war and gone. so began last october, us a visit by us naval shipping, some booty a this week i could signal improve ties between the 2 countries of 2 years of strain relations is the 1st u. s. military visit to the southeast, asian nation, and nearly a decade and follows will come booty as described as positive women to with washington. patrick festivals. the arrival of the us as savannah in cambodia, southern port city of c on a villa this week may have seemed to locate, but it couldn't mock a significant starting point in relations between washington and non pen carrying a crew of about $100.00. the don't can, of the warship was described by the us as a good will visit and an increasing coordination on shed maritime security challenges. it was all smiles,

those offices greeted one another at the start of the 5 day trip. yeah, it's great to be back. it took place just columbus away from a naval base. that's been a point of friction in recent years since 2020 to china has been funding the renovation of the re naval base originally built with assistance from the us. washington, 5th, division, a key strategic position in the gulf of thailand knew the dispute of south china sea sizable. so have been strained of accusations of political repression in cambodia with regard to our visit and our activities with cam body with cambodia. it's not to couch or anyone. it's a relationship that is on its own or john is full billions of dollars into infrastructure and investments in cambodia under its formulated and sent to help pa for for decades as son and that a graduate of the us military academy west point took over last year in may be i a

multi aligned approach. so i think and what it was to dispel this misconception to it's a, it's only a plus a lie of china. you must a diversify. it's folded relations in always trying to practice what could be described as huge diplomacy. chinese economy is facing us. lowdown and the study published early this year and moved to the simple chinese fund. the development projects in cambodia had been cancelled or cut back under the bite and administration us relations with cambodia have improved, but it's unclear whether that momentum will continue. when donald trump, with tons to the white test, patrick fault, houses, era, a government shut this meaning in the united states of to be house of representatives reject to the spending time endorsed by president elect. donald trump. the deadline for reaching the agreement is the only day way any family could interrupt funding across many sectors, including law enforcement and ad travel, a head all the busy holiday season. the stays house vote came after a previous bipartisan bill was the rail following heavy criticism from both trump,

dundas, ally, eagle, musk particle haine has the latest in washington dc. and it would seem like the most basic job for any legislature decide on how much money to spend and on what the us congress doesn't often pass full budgets instead voting on continuing resolutions, basically keeping the same funding for a few months at a time. republicans and democrats had a deal to do just that, plus spend $100000000000.00 to help those impacted by recent hurricanes and given additional $10000000000.00 in a to farmers. but then billionaire, eli and musk step to post you more than $150.00 times that the social media site ex, demanding republicans kill the deal. it's a total dumpster fire. i think it's garbage it. this is what washington dc has done . this is why i ran for congress, tried to stop this. an incoming president, donald trump agreed, threatening house speaker mike johnson's job. if he didn't drop the agreement demanding, they also raise the debt with it, which will expire early next year,

so that it would appear. joe biden raised the deficit, not him. in assigned, the trump has total control over his party. republicans agreed. it appears. they will now strip out all of the provisions that they agreed to give the democrats and suspend the debt limit for 2 years. but throwing the government into chaos may be a sign of what's coming to the capital, the next 4 years. particle have l g 0, washington. the close of toxic smoke full slides to because sold in both in has the governance capital study of, of quality measurements, rank the city as well as the most polluted residents are advised. we stay in those state. went to pollution is common in cities across the balkans, where heating from coal would creates dangerous conditions. experts say recent construction. how does that mean west and the situation by blocking athletes and the cities from may, 3 navigator will have more in the hall now because all of those stories on our website to thousands of adults covered is updated throughout the day. the weather

is next and then on inside story, we examined why the democratic republic of congo assuming the tech company fit for me from me and all of these things here with our new sensor in denver. thanks very much for your time. and to a couple of the the had a lie there, it's laundry, clear and quiet for much of china as we looked at east asia, the same economy said for the korean peninsula and japan, but a wintry last coming in. so cold a condition, some stronger winds as well, and the chance of rain, sleet, and snow. so we are expecting temperatures to come down over the next few days, snow on the higher ground for japan, and possibly on the lower ground as well. behind that it does clear up for the

korean peninsula and much of china. we will see some wounds coming back into sold at the start of the week with more in the way it's sunshine, sunshine, and settled whether to be found across a china, lots of sunshine instead of the weather. because of much of the south asia, we've still got those fog and smoke issues in the north with a cold wave warning remaining for him. a child protest, we could see some ground from here moving away sunshine across the west coast of india. this the west to whether that pulls out towards the bay or bank goal. so we haven't got any warnings out for the south of india, we will see a shower to hear some way to wear the working its way towards the northeast. were expecting some showers in sri lanka, most sundry in colombo, but the sunshine will be back out on monday or the around one percent effect. tricity globally is consumed by data centers,

many of which provide remote storage facilities or what is also known as the cloud . i'm in no way to see how one center is honda, sing the energy of the fuel. what's to store our digital information without the heavy confidence footprint. and i'm just so beautiful north coast of the u. k. where the global green energy revolution, taking on new elements rise. oh no to 0. the world's most valuable company. apple is being sued by democratic republic of congo, the tech johns accused of using it, legally, mines, minerals and products like on the phone. so the white apple denies the claim, what's behind this legal action, this is inside story, the hello again.
