talk what we do and all to sara is try to balance the stories, the good, the bad, the id, tell it as it was, and the people who allow us into their lives, dignity into money. she asked me to tell the stories. and the is really forces suits and injures several people near damascus during protests, against b is really incursion into southern syria. the you're watching, i'll do 0 life or my headquarters and so high and tell you navigate also coming up at that location. senior us diplomats arrived in damascus for talks with leaders of the new syrian administration. the 1st, such a present for more than a decades is where the air strikes targeting cause

a city in the north. at least 7 palestinians are killed across the street. so installing a new species of mice selling manders and butterflies are discovered and peruse. amazon greenforest the hello less than 2 weeks since the fall of a sudden subs in the establishment of a new administration in syria. there is a flurry of diplomacy as regional and international actors tried to navigate the rapid challenges taking place in the country. but the situation on the ground remains vall, a tile is really military has shots, an injured syrian for testers, and 2 areas in the country. one man was shot during protests in that all and

southern syrian, the locals were demonstrating against the presence of as really forces which had been moving further into syria following the fall of suds and motto buttoned the damascus country side. several people were injured by is really done fire. meanwhile, the turkish presidents awards of a bird alonzo as his country will help the new syrian administration from its form, its state structure, as well as draft a new constitution. but he's also reiterate is turkey is determination to crush us back curtis lead fighters in northern syria. well, there's also been a warning from the united nations, the head of the u. n's, migration agencies. as the large scale return of display, syrians may over whelmed the country and negatively impact the transition. nearly 7000000 people flood syria when the civil war began in 2011. many are now considering whether to go back home. and let's now cross over to the syrian

capital, damascus, how someone had bought a standing by for us and said, of course of all good standing by for us. it stumble as well to discuss the key is role in shaping serious future. but 1st, for bringing hash them how some tell us about these reports that we're getting that the is really military has shot a civilian and dead on. this being the 1st such incidents as the fall of a sense, what are you hearing wells every we've been told by eye witnesses, that video soul is buying it. so it's moving into one of the villages in model, which is in thought of as of this process protests to be a guest. the for those of you is by the troops and the open fly in during many bid us just in that particular area. this is the 1st instance where we have city is now the fun thing that frustration over the process of uh,

is by the 2 of those areas. raising many concerns about the potential for more escalation and says the photo of the receiver, but shot as that. then when they divide, it says we're expanding that premises along the pool, the average, the all the way towards the mounts overhead. one, the new apologies heading city. i have been talking to the day to tell them that these buyers have to pull out from those areas and that full the time the well, i got you to respect some sense of self restraints. but however, if the it goes is continue, the potential for ask us is that particular area is going to further increase the i thought it is also headed, the must have been pushing for these bodies to respect the terms of the agreement on this engagement with, with the city as of these bodies that was signed in 1974. this new development is an issue that is raising money concerns here among the city is that the potential

for any classes, with video, apologies in the vasquez, and this at these vide, is, is growing higher and higher by the day. and it has on the wall that is happening. we know that there's a us delegation currently in the country holding meetings with the new syrian administration. what have we heard so far off what's come out of these discussions? so the meeting led by bob on the place here is the documents fits with 2 components of the society, the civil society, the activities on one side of the van day, i'm out of an old voice match with members of the political committee, of the new apologies in damascus and both have different views about how to move forward. the active as member of civil society and zeros. we're talking about the need for them to be presented in the future and the quote for a smooth transition to democracy. the political committee of have to how do they

sound has been austin for immediate lifting the sanctions imposed by the international community and the are fee and then the kids in particular on syria and also the listing of the sanctions imposed on hey at the it is now, as far as i at the assignment of this thought, it's the, the, this is why it's a significant development because they see more old boys coming to them, asked us to tool to them. but they're hoping to see if this become more of a political by taking a simple eye as to how to get a shot, because they don't understand the whole them to move forward. they need to have diplomatic look at places that could be conducive to more financial sense than digital support for them to not. so it can be easy if that happens to taking it from them. not because they say it could be a significant development for that hassle, and you learn says the national conference is going to be held next week, who's going to take part on it and, and what is its ultimate aim?

so basically i was told that when the un only void to city i get positive came here and met with the new a fall, which is one of the prerequisites for these, you know, so the community was the need for guarantees of is going to be as were funds they sent to debunk with the officers that may have to how to get a shot mixed with different players here in syria, all the need to put together the national confidence which we had the sense could happen wednesday or thursday. and the name of this is to quickly you commit is going to drop the new constitution. what's in your government? also the end of mazda 50. under the title of the c. k tech. a government have a transitional government and then hold elections that will save the way for the 1st democratically elected parliament in syria since 50 is that would be followed

by a new government. but in the meantime, i was told that some of the saw the need to pay at the head. he was on the most powerful man. now in syria, he's going to have the final say over many, many is here for the upcoming 5 years, so that's fine. to convince people, particularly those that you can see behind me. now instead of writing the new found grievance of the need for these funds, this is a democracy, but there's also concern subdivisions respond to it goes next week. when many people say, you know what? if it wants to start to use syria, therefore, we have to be boxed simply presented in a government and the needs to be genuine democracy. and that's how you, how do the shop itself has to understand that in a democracy, people could choose someone else to leave the country. okay, have some, a better report from damascus and syria hush. and thank you so much sitting comfortable, good. joining us not from assemble to discuss what are the one has been saying, because the president has said, has offered rather to help syrians,

former government, and shape its constitution. how so? so well during this 5 page, this is listed as a terrorist organization by turkey as well, along with the you and the united states currently is to kick on. so there's the latest success by the position as the will of syria. and the new administration led by the h d. s. members a. this is a legitimate partner for turkey out on emphasize during his speech to the report. there's on his way back from the 8th summit and keitel to is stumbled on thursday. he mentioned that his government is in touch with in his words mister jolanda, he doesn't use the word mother's shadow. but he said mister july, and then he also knows that turkish for and most of the hawk confidant will soon be travelling to syria and to discuss any kind of assistance that through care can

provide. let's move mine to care is one of the biggest major member countries that has a huge expertise in military to care back their positions, an army which is called the syrian national army that were formerly known as the free syrian army. we heard turkish defense minister last week saying that if a there was a cool invitation by the new syria and administration and to help them build a new national are metric is willing to do so as it has deals with other countries in order to train in a group, so to kids willing to assist mainly to write the new constitution a that will help to embrace all sides, mental sex and ethnic groups, and the culture which is a must for a secure and simple syria in the future. and do this, he elaborates any more and comments that are that he made as well saying that he's going to wipe out fighters or what he refers to us terrorist and then one of syria

as well. there is a distinction from the purchase price between the purchase perspective and the western perspective for turkey at the why pj, it, this is curtis rebel group, which is seen as an extension of the, of both crew to somewhere because parts of p k, k is equal to ice so and to get has always been arguing that it says the us support for the why pj in the fight against iso has started to kill, was fed. you cannot the feed service organization with another service organization current that your fuck you are using them to fight i sold. but these are national, the threats to my country. my territorial integrity of this was the rhetoric of font color as this is donald. trump hasn't taken a seat yet, and no one is sure about how his policy is going to be took. it believes that it is that the right just a moment to the feet, the p k. k. a who has been legitimizing itself,

its presence through its gardens over the ice. so prisoners to give says, oh, so it hasn't been us for us for the last couple of years. you don't need the y p g, and i don't want an any alternate mistake led by a service organization by my board there. this is what on career says, and for now the fight against the curtis revel replied. pg continues through the syrian national army that was formerly known as f, as i sent them across the vocal report from miss trumbull in turkey. as an thank you, mark of is kenzie, you know, is a global strategy advisor and geo political risk specialist. he says, despite cautious optimism, the us will be, will read the syria will go from a secular dictatorship to a religious one. this clearly marks the, it's the end of an era over 50 years of dictatorship. it's been great hope, but there's also a deep and certainty part of the concern is we'll see a transition from it from an external perspective from the us perspective and from

other places also is willie transition from the secularism, a dictatorship to religious one. this people have express, it's diplomatically the correct to say the words cautious optimism. but i think the emphasis externally outside of syria is more on caution, less and optimism, at least for the time b, a. h t s. as you mentioned, i mean the main concerns is that they want to be taken off the terrorists list and have sanctions that weren't been imposed on and serial up on the our side. we seem to have those sanctions lifted. on the other hand, united states and other external players want to see progress on the ground. yes, h t s has done as much as telling people what they want to hear. their model rating that tone. they using the language of inclusiveness, but the words has to be backed by action. and once again, only time will tell that has to be that orderly transition has to be marked once again, not just the represent. it has to be just not inclusive in tone, but has to be incorrect presented if in reality it has to do an outreach to the

broad political spectrum to all different parties across a political attraction. members here as a mosaic of a country of different groups. it's a di, that diversity. how do you use like that their versity, you the asset or liability the, the civilian death told in gaza is rising. is israel carries out it's indiscriminate bombing campaign garza city and the north was targeted by that is really military. just a short while ago is really forces killed at least 7 palestinians across the strips and strong on friday. these are the military has killed more than 45000 palestinians since last october. and a conflict widely described as a genocide. nowhere a safe in every aspect of civilian life is being destroyed,

honeywell, which has the latest as an end and is in dayton by law and central garza as well. it has been relatively quiet for the past few hours. a part of from the early hours of this morning in northern part of a new site out rivers e. com. and the eastern part of the, the central area that includes abrasion in the refuge account. these are borderline refugee accounts or areas they've really military since day. one of the genocide been acting aggressively on the ground clearing much of the residential. busy building areas, as well as the public facility, assembled building the majority of the agriculture land, leaving people with no access to a proper area to plan their food. amid this fam and going on across the, the bank for the hydration on as far vision by the ongoing unfolding genocide, we just learned from a source that a delegation of from the w h o has been finally allowed to enter the northern part

of this trip after waiting for too long, we know this, this century has come after many attempts that were denied by these very military, including other international organizations. the tool is making its way through northern part of this trip, particularly as i was one hospital where the majority of the top for the past 24 hours have damaged and destroyed the majority of the health facilities. the only one operating at the very minimum capacity it right now, all of this happened. it was people surviving family members that the vicinity of the hospitals were able to retrieve bodies. they've been killed in the past week or so at the vicinity of the hospital. just think of the, the distance. these are residential homes in the vicinity of commodities, one house because the people were under the rubble reduced and no one was able to remove or retrieve any of these bodies to the hospital is where the settlers have rampaged through the occupied westbank village of metadata and set fire to

a mosque causing significant damage. they wrote racist slogans on the last war and walls is where the army done rated the building and interrogated worshippers. in july, the international court of justice declared israel's occupation of palestinian land unlawful saying all legal settlements and the occupied westbank must be evacuated. still ahead on alger 0, be a rival for us worship and cambodia signals of shifting relations between washington on some pen. the under bro, breaks out in taiwan parliaments with lawmakers divided over the democratic directions off the island, the the

point where russell warships will no longer patrol because they were afraid of being destroyed. but on land, it's a very different story. ukraine is being forced back on a daily basis, as russian forces advance in the east, in the north, and in the south pushing ukraine further further back. just today, the capital city chief was attacked while hypersonic missiles striking several targets in the city, showing the russian missiles and the russian forces can penetrate the defences of the most heavily defended city on the planets. at least because hopeless out to 0. odessa and being more a powerful rebel group, the eric on army is released footage. it says shows gentle members surrendering in the western were kind states you were fighting between me and mars military in the us. the groups of recline has brought the region to the brink of famine, dots, according to the u. n. the confrontations have disrupted trade and farming,

leading to widespread hunger aide work or say the military is also prevented food on medicine from being delivered to the area. meanwhile, more than a 100 ro, hanging refugees from me and more had been rescued from a boat in the indian ocean. this for lincoln, navy took them to a ports and gave them food and water, the mostly most liberal hand got our minority community and me, and mar, hundreds of thousands flooded military cracked down in 2017 many risk their lives at sea trying to reach malaysia or engine easier, this, scientists say they discovered 27 new species and peruse amazon rain forest, an area known for its rich bio diversity. the team of scientists identified new mammals, fish, and siblings and butterflies. they work closely with members of an indigenous community and save a benefits from their local knowledge. scientists say that discovery highlights the

need for sustainable conservation efforts in the amazon. probably my favorite of the new species discoveries is the blob headed fish. it's a type of armored catfish, but unlike its close relatives on the end of its head, it has this really huge sort of friday and just like blah blank extension on the end of its head. and the scientists have never seen anything like this. and really it's a complete mystery as to what the purpose of this blog head is. well, it may be surprising. there are so many undiscovered species living in the amazon. but consider this. conservationists say about one in every 10, no species on earth lives in the amazon rain forest. and that includes about $2400.00 species of freshwater fish and nearly $50000.00 species of plants. those plants provide shelter for about 370 types of reptiles will speak to carlos. perez is a professor of conservation ecology at the university of east and he loved joining

us live from sunset. that's a reno. we thank you for your time. how important is this discovery are very important, i would say most of the amazon by diversity and for in most of groups of animals and plants is actually very poorly known. so this is an expedition mounted by conservation international um the 38th, the de expedition uh by $22.00 experts across 7 forest. i've seen the in the india and amazon at amazon in andes. and they found $27.00. yeah. new spaces out of 2050 spaces documented. so that actually gave us the rate of about 1.3 percent of news, b c's, which is actually fairly low. if you're going to survey most areas around the amazon. um, you know,

you'd expect one cover more than that. this isn't particularly important area because um, it seemed um in the mid elevation above the end is in northern peru. and of course, this area probably contains quite a few and democrats, uh, because of the topography and mid elevation. um and you know, you can expect to find uh, quite a few new spaces almost anywhere in the amazon. um, if these areas have not been surveyed properly, the teams have also set that's $48.00 species discovered during the expedition are considered to be new, but they will require further study to classify them efficiently. it just shows you how rich and biodiversity these forests are so crucial as the protection of these eco systems to ensure their survival in the long run. yeah, absolutely. i mean,

whole, all parts of the amazon contains bases that are relatively restricted to those parts. therefore, you need protected areas almost everywhere. the amazon has a big place, almost 7000000 square kilometers. so it just, you know, slightly smaller than the 48 to the continuous states in the us. um, a bunch of that by diversity remains on. um, we actually put very little money on, on covering that by diversity. uh meanwhile, were talking about putting human colonies in on mars. so even most plan of spending $66.00 trillion dollars to deploy x or planet colonies to march to mars. i mean, you would need about one percent of that uh to uh, survey. um, you know, do a mount a, a decent effort to survey uh, buy diversity right across the amazon. let me just jump in there for

a moment. so tell us in or sort of as a matter of priority, in your opinion, what needs to be done for that protection? i'm the impact that climate change, coupled with habitat last pollution and development of had on the world's biodiversity. yes, i mean, i think we need to speed things up because we need to document this by diversity before it's too late. there are many areas of the amazon where we're losing spaces before they are known to science. we actually don't know how many of these bases that have gone extinct were never documented. and then, you know, the rate of deforestation forced depredation is actually increasing. so it's a, it's a, it's a race against the clock, but it's a very poorly funded race. because of this effort is, is under funded, is understaffed, and the portal, you know, a task force involved is a, is beautiful, is, is, is tiny compared to the,

the effort that we should be mounting. okay, carlos perez, professor of conservation ecology, joining us from brazil. thank you so much. thank you for claire is a toxic small and a force flights to be cancelled in bosnia and herzegovina is capital siri, a vote. so the city is rank the world's thirds, most polluted due to its poor air quality. and people are being advised to stay indoors. winter pollution is common in cities across the bolton's, where emissions from coal on woods used for shooting contaminate the air experts. a recent construction has also worse than this situation. all way good. this is horrible with choking. particularly people with heart conditions i can barely breathe. you see how hard it is for me to speak is a catastrophe and no one's doing anything about it. i can't believe that this is

happening in both me is capital the government and not able to do anything about smoke. so the visit via us naval ship to cambodia this we could signal improve ties between the 2 countries. after years of strange relations, it's the 1st u. s. military visit to the south east asia nation in nearly a decades and follows what time bodya is described as positive momentum with washington. patrick folk reports the wrongful of the us as savannah in cambodia is southern port city of santa villa. this week may have seemed to lo kit, but it couldn't mock a significant starting point. and 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 increasing coordination on shed maritime security challenges . it was all smiles as offices greeted one another at the start of the 5 day trip. yeah, i think it's great to be back. it's a place just kilometers away from

a naval base. that's been a point of friction in recent years. since 2022, china has been funding the renovation of the re naval base. originally built with assistance from the u. s. washington 5th division. a key strategic position in the gulf of thailand knew the dispute of south china sea ties of also being strained of accusations of political repression in cambodia with regard to our visit and our activities with him. body with cambodia, it's not to couch or anyone. it's a relationship that is on its own for john is full billions of dollars into infrastructure and investments in cambodia. hundreds formulated and sent to health pa for for decades as son and that a graduates of the us military academy west point took over last year. and maybe i'm a multi aligned approach. so i think and what it was to dispel is misconception to it's a, it's only a plus a lie of china. he wants to divert.
