also be votes on dissolving collins and rewriting the constitution for us to sort of joins us now live from damascus. russell took us through what else we know about that conference. the well the search and the date, the exact dates of the confidence is not pronounced. you have have a good expect them to take place in the 1st before january. and so the cd has to be that instruction saying that that more of the device and off to 1000 people from the, from the spectrum off off of life and the politics being serious, academics, journalist the acts to this d n, g ols. and of course, the business sort of caused some segments and fragments of the position as well. so now these people side, syria and from around the world, they are going to have that in the math because it's going to be

a kind of national platform i conversation seeing the city and conversation, trying to figure it out, pay the way how to pay the way for to rebuild a new syria. however, one of the main concerns here is that this is going to be a test for the h t s, which is the dominant for the go a minute to the power. now here in damascus, whether they're really doing this genuinely or not, that is a matter of the question. because now as of now some of the segments of the, the position i've already seen that, well they have not been invited as institutions that add to as they have to because individuals. so on the other hand, the ministration here saying, well, none of the physician segments is going to be in by as additive, but they're ready to benefit from the experience of the, of the individual. so to couple of days, these national dialogue are going to try to discuss, particularly the me because the addition of see that that is extremely important

because the new constitution means how new city is going to look like. what's going to be for the system or this country, whether that it would be elections or not, whether the, the cost is going to the democrat. this is for not what didn't syrians, the segments of the societies that the fractions of the opposition are going to be representative, say a new or not. however, then sees the full of a sides of the game is going to be the 1st time that syrians from a whole spectrum of support, the gloves off the gym in damascus. and that's going to be a national platform for many seem job off. and there's so many of the issues that you flagged, of governance of security of the economy has been discussed throughout the week. you've been following the diplomatic developments to consider the significant from is from your perspective of the well of course the, the sub. but based on what the position to the control of the,

the conference has been quite clear. that's one of these top priority is to be recognized as c o. yes. as syrians assess them, as representative says that the ones you have seen delegations of the delegation, this didn't the mask or do something that anyone's vision, celia is joy. and so one of the latest was that before the 2nd time, an american delegation sees the full of this of the gym has been in damascus, meetings, and events. visual officials and americans are conveyed the messages 1st, the 5 i guess i so must continue because americans believe that the eastern part of the company see of that of the sleeping sounds. busy or i so, and that is a quite a priority for americans. and the 2nd message of americans with the ministration these that to, to lend the new surgeons or iran, american authenticity doesn't station that on must have no role in city of future send. the message is for the demonstration to the city of that is inclusive

demographic enough that students can be say, and the represent the so to me with this vision is welcoming this 3 messages. they're saying that they are going to jump to, to determine the device. so let's say that you are on is not going to have it all in the city of future. and of course, as of now they're promising and inclusive syria, but what americans this, it? well, the messages are welcome, have a they need to see the actions are so thank you for your reporting. that's for us to search a reporting from damascus. and the scale of destruction is imagining in serious homes. this is the dead balaban neighborhood, reduced to rubble off to use a phone, boardman by former president assets forces and his allies. homes is often cold. the heart of the syrian revolution of the opposition took the city early on in the civil war. some of the binge of a has more from homes in many parts of the city of homes, had been ravaged by war,

street after street block after block neighborhood offer neighborhoods have the public because this used to be the capital of the revolution and it was punish uh, the bombardment with the seat with targeting of hospitals, which stopping people to death and by making people go and disappear. this is the story read, which is repeated on almost every street in every household where people have been telling us about the challenges that they're facing. this is the kind of destruction they have to come back to on the 16th street. this used to be a busy profit, but now very often left it on the other side, there are some people who have come back and run home. there's a man who's living with multiple children because their parents have been killed. there's another woman who's got missing the missed a missing child. i'm missing cousin and every single household seems to have those stories of loss and trust and despair. but people here are adamant that they're

going to try and rebuild their lives. but they're also facing challenges as the home of the shuttle. government says that it is focusing on the security of this country and bring in the fighting groups together. it faces into security policing streets like this. remnants of the regime have been coming, knocking on some doors, harassing people, offering them for ransom and pretending because they are daunting minutes you fatigues as well. it's different. it's difficult to differentiate for people here who are the actual remnants of the human who are the people who are actually from highest the shops. and that is a multitude of challenges which remains for almost every place in this country. especially here in the city of homes. because it is home to show such a diverse community of christians and our rights and sundays. and she has the people have to come together to try and rebuild themselves from scratch. some of them job it does the data helps a serious industrial capital of unless oh, is facing challenges of its own. it's one of the cities that suffered most during

the civil war, no, a month of to us, it's ousting businesses all struggling to find solutions to problems inherited from the regime. mohammed vol has the story from i left the old district intellect easier with you to said that as you've seen disagreement attacks the city used to be the topic economic cause of serious. but yeah, as of, as the bikes coupled with us sections of corruption, i've left the tool but to complete the lifeless. what's the, what your, immediately after the full of the former regime, we remove the obstacles and regulations that used to handle the success of business . and we ended the extortion system of unjust tech station and finds on free trade is come. but we're still under the impact of sanctions and of problems inherited from the mafia that's being rolling up. like the shape of business owners, brainstorm about plans to alleviate the causes. some of them suggested connecting

individual contributions to buy fuel medicine and other agents and associates is the safety of other for both up to 20000 fox cities, supply and growth only city about also other countries with some of the finest products. but many of these fox cities, i'm not fully operational at the moment, due to severe fall shortages. i'm at 69531 of the most modern and serious. he's only possibly a funny because of a week long outage. he's using identity to, to operate a few minutes and one that the company. how do you? good? i was suffering before the liberation was difficult, so the war forced the closure of the factory at times with power crises were frequent on rule materials and accessible taxes. what me exorbitant, all of this is over, but now it's the issue of energy that's disrupting our business. the impact of the will is basically everywhere. thousands of businesses are closed. so many skilled

people who left the country still having 310. and yet, life goes on, he says, this man is income making items from local in the city of ads. the, there's one thing the war has failed to destroy, ingenuity and the silliness of the people of volleyball. and there was hope they would soon be able to attend the situation alone. how much fun does you, are they put the u. s. as it has conducted multiple ed strikes against what had caused a run back to the targets in the human e capital. and along the coast, it says it's navy ships and in cross targeted a who the come on center and weapon storage facility with the forces are reporting at least 10 raids. it's been heavy exchange of fire between the who sees and israel . and the past week is where the forces, the us and the u. k. have launched,

repeat involving raised india. and in the past you mohammed up has more from santa, for us, produce quality, and waste, nearly 12 airstrikes, just to hours a go with the have bomb to the to may 22nd minutes to compound, to the, not a to the, not a. so the copies of son, uh, with more that would, would, natalie said 10 rates. uh, also the outbound the ministry of defense that belongs to the answer law. also, which is known also as a lot of the minutes a compound. but so far they haven't revealed the what's, what are the facts about the these attacks? and these attacks have been denounced by the on site allows them to sparks is the spokesperson. i'm with the salon mode. describe these attacks as a flagrant violation to

a southern states. he called on the us to put more pressure on israel in order to put an end to its warning and goes and also to lift his blockade instead of with supporting politically economically and politically. milliken ministry on those that can obviously supporting israel. what do you describe is, where is it genocide, the war in guys? the familiar is of south korea's impeached president june, so kills say they will find an arrest warrant issued by a court on tuesday investigates. has requested the wars off to you and failed to appear for questioning several times. rep mcbride reports from so for prosecutors investigating impeach president june took jo. this move was unprecedented, but necessary on 3 separate occasions. they have summons june,

for questioning on charges of insurrection. arising from his, your slaves in possession of martial law and the has like no, the more the opposition successfully impeached him in the national assembly. and now want to see him criminally punished. they're honest to get you into a union. so your, the leader of the insurrection must be arrested immediately. you issued an order to the martial law forces to open fire. you also instructed them to break down the doors of the national assembly with axes and arrest lawmakers. but, you know, the ruling party accused the opposition of making the country ungovernable. they say the marshal, lord declaration was within the president's powers, rejecting the arrest warrant. uh people go there. this illegal and unwarranted request for a warrant being approved raises serious concerns about whether it's alliance with the principles of the rules of more opposition is that such an unlawful warrant

request is invalid. and without legal effect, it's on clear how you would be arrested with his official residents, still protected by presidential security. and now the focus for more of his conservative support is turning out in protest with a vibrant tradition of st. protest. this pair with the political turmoil has stood up both sides that are on mass demonstrations by those who want to see you punished, but also by his supporters who seem equally determined to prevent his arrest. rob mcbride, i'll just say era. so, staying in south korea, acting, president's choice and look has ordered emergency safety checks on the national and line operation system of to sundays crush, the killed a 179 people. investigators on now focusing on possible mechanical issues, communications values, and the airport barrier design ability strike has not been ruled out. sundays

american support. ok, a russian president vladimir fusion has reassured his people, but the country is doing well and on track to improve in 2025 in his annual new year's speech, who did made promises of prosperity and unity moving forward. joseph already has moved from mosca. president vladimir, for years he's message to the russian. people is broadcast across 11 time zones. now in his speech. he hales the nation's resilience, and preaches to the soldiers in ukraine, calling them true heroes. so he avoided discussing the wars trajectory. were you, we are confident that everything will be fine, we will only move forward. we know for sure the, the absolute value for us was, is and will be the fate of russia, the wellbeing of its citizens. the man that's been in charge of this country for a quarter of a century has declared 2025,

the year of the defender of the fatherland. now, despite the message, the move here on the streets of the capital, remain sombre. many here hoping the new year will bring an end to the conflict in ukraine and a better economic forecasts for our population that's facing unprecedented financial challenges. dorset jabari l g 0. moscow. china is president. she didn't ping says the country is under pressure to transform the will to 2nd largest economy. as it battles slow growth. she made the comments in a new year, broad cost to the nation. china has struggled with decline out of an economic slump, fueled by a property crisis week consumption and soaring government, dis, phung, changing the machine, the current economic operation. now face of some new conditions will fight including challenges of uncertainty in the external environment and pressure of transformation from old girls drivers into new ones. but we can prevail with our

hard work. as always, we grow in the window rain and we get stronger through hard times. we must be confident from 2024 was a year filled with economic challenges for china. and with donald trump making a return to the white house they doing is bracing for unpredictable times. ahead as possible. you in review series, patrick folk has this report from home call john is a sion jo 19 space cropped las thing off and on. sorry about 2024 has been a wrinkled year for johnny space exploration. this was one of 100, which is this? yes, 5. hi ginger 19 also carries china is 1st a female space engineer or some are either this month that achieved another milestone. it screw completed a 9 hour space walk successfully installing a space debris protection device and it's 10 going station. china is trying the 6 luna prob,

also pulled off the 1st mission to bring back the desk from the fall side of the moon for the countries john police forward in space of contrasts and with its sputtering economy. the real estate sect as mine and the dance on consumer spending remains with a sluggish job market is only added to the german goods. i'm a say 2024. could mount china is as low as the growth in decades outside of cove. it policy makers have made several attempts to resuscitate markets, but there's been no sustain recovery so far whilst it was previously possible with the chinese government when do sustain stuff, market values for me, it promises glitches, rhetoric, and language. the markets, as of today, has become more skeptical. you might say jaded and reactions of these policy statements, right? this month of china is top leadership signal to bold economic support and the coming year. beijing is reading itself for a fight when donald trump returns to office google hudson. we will consolidate and strengthen them. i meant to move from economic recovery and work to achieve steady

and long term economic development. already, it seems a new trade war has begun. earlier this month, china launched an investigation into chip making video on suspicion is violated and monopoly laws is a we call it the binding administration and that's a new sanctions on a chip. exports to china. i turn sick to trade will instigate to then initiate advice from head of end is the president provided many continued, many of his measures of his previous as a china could draw on support from other countries. in october, russia hosted the 1st to some of the newly expanded bricks group of emerging economies. as inside the loons of what the trump administration could mean for the rest of the world, it's a club, it's binding close to together, and backing beijing to help protect its members, interests, punctured folks, which is 0. phone call. show you is a political economist with a focus on us and a china relations. she says,

china's economy will continue to be sluggish. in 2025 us. china will continue to face ongoing challenges in 2025, but some of them will be consistent to what we are looking at in 2024. but some of them will be new, particularly when it comes to our trump. so tar for more on china. however, in 2024 so new years address 8 is indeed a, a message of confidence. and i think china is going to a engineer, a number of spoke to both of these policies, particularly economic policies of from engendering the industrial development to stimulating consumer growth in order to uh, to seek some hats off. but you cannot make recovery in 25 groceries. so slowing down, unemployment is higher, property prices are down and i think the private property market, it's a whole supply chain. it has a whole supply chain you impacted to the chinese economy, including the local governments, a debt crisis. so the,

the green bank of revenue sustainability and also, quite frankly, are seeking new growth drivers for their chinese economy. so i think 1 may easily draw a conclusion that so yes, chinese consumers are not willing to spend, however, 2 bright spots in the chinese. so consumer a category this year, dad says specifically be sending electronics out, particularly because of the government's massive subsidies. so yes, a government's fiscal stimulus will work electronic so growth in september and october has been over 20 percent in china and easy sales has been over 40 percent. oh, so far in 2024. so i think the fiscal stimulus will certainly work to stimulate a chinese consumption in 2025. as long as the governments stimulates enough, but in 2025 and new on certainty of likes, wong, if i were to say, is going to be our trump. so tar for wards on china. and so um, now according to economists,

consensus estimates the if the top were to impose 40 percent higher, some chinese exports in $25.00. that's going to depth and china as well by up to one percentage point sizes. if people have been really in the capital of fund, good as cooling for the prosecution of i'll said prime minister shane casino, the anti discrimination student movement has organized wanted calls a march to unity students lead is going to the people responsible to face trial for the deaths of hundreds of protest is in a mess, uprising against a government engine line. so, you know, fled to india in august of to violent protests ended her 15 years still ahead on out, as the kind of most celebrates its prized was away, but they could be as rich to its control of the canal. zimbabwe deepening was

a crisis. hel, pollution is contaminating the capitals main drinking supplies and as for things, keep going from badge to was from manchester united to be here with the details. the or the middle east as felt wait until the temperature dropped in most places is being rain or snow and some strong winds. and that's true in cyprus and from the high ground to the mountains in particular, it's been significant snow over the last couple of days. now that's going to ease off now the windows and the strongly areas to his code, but no pass code. and the sounds being drawers and they are in the shares for the serv. so israel, the occupied territory, northern egypt, which is probably, well there in the night time attempt is off the cost be the case throughout the

winter. exaggerated by these cars admittedly. but the high ground is pink time fabricate in tokyo and down through syria and the rock as well. but even on the coast, golf is down to about 6 degrees or even light up to about and 17 by day. and a fine looking date is on wednesday through art. and that's true for the science as well. and into says that the raving produce has got more wind being picked up down the the gulf, which means very dusty and probably the empty colt at sandstone. but no one will see that of course. so across the mountains, if you're wrong, and after and this done, when typical, but the 1st seasonal snow we will profit so that we seen for a good part of a wrong that carries on during says day on this, still a lot of right and surprising the in north, in terms of near the i'm harry davies in the, kimberly, in west and australia or indigenous communities, attaining it with sciences to create a new approach to marine conservation land rover even. but the fear

i found you on your reporting from bridgeview is you're going to try, it's protecting by the adversity pro, defending themselves against the legal invaders, the price on elders 0. ok. and these democratic nations justify this kind of behaviors. collateral damage has collateral damage. that's reality is leading to what we're seeing that will allow me to push back for a moment is the us as confused. corporate israel, affecting pittsville, the standing from the impact of the us selections, the escalating conflict in the middle east. and the urgency of climate action upfront sets the stage for serious debate on out jersey or of the,

you know, again, this is just a reminder of our top stories this hour. at least 7 palestinians, including 6 babies have died of hypothermia in the past week. that includes a 20 day old, new forcibly displaced palestinians in gaza, barely have blankets and a living and worn out 10th. as israel continues to restrict humanitarian supplies, heavy rains of making the situation was 10 kinds of flooding across the strip and preventable diseases. all straight un agencies estimates more than 1600000 palestinians living in makes ship shelters and cannot withstand the call. to us says it has conducted multiple is strikes against what he calls,

who see targets in the many capital center. and along the coast there's been heavy exchange of fire between the who sees and israel in the past week. the head of syria is a new administration has been meeting with christian leaders. i'll shut a mess, catholic orthodox and anglican senior clergy in the capital, damascus. there has been new calls for the administration to guarantee the rights of minorities. off the group ousted wilma president bush, as i said earlier this month, the meeting comes ahead of a key national dialogue conference fund in the next few days. a report by the international federation of general is, is highlighting the increasing danger faced by media workers worldwide. it says a 122 gen lives were killed in 2024 with the was in guns,

a and 11 on accounting for 58 percent of those tickets. since october. the 7th of 2023. at least a 147 palestinian journalists have been killed making the region one of the worst for report is asian pacific remains perilous with 12 general is killed, including 7 in august on and 5 in all the countries. 6, john los have died in the sudan conflict that's displaced millions of people. in the americas, 9 gen lives remitted 5 of them in mexico with drug cartels often target to media workers. and 516 journalists were jailed in 2024 with china. and israel accounting for most of those students. feel mccarren is the director of the press freedom center at the national press club in the u. s. he says the threat levels on john list lives higher than ever,

especially in the goals district. without question the just numerically, the death toll in gaza is unprecedented. it's hard to speak of a typical year and such things. but when recent years, the average number of journalists killed the globally is around 6050 to 60. so you can see that this number is, is a staggering number in gaza. and as far as how we assessed this and for the future, we, as the number of media covering the conflict is decreasing because of these deaths, arrests, injuries and so forth. we know less and less about what was going on. and so what will happen to the remaining journalists? we pray for them, we hope for the best, but with fewer uh, with no less attention to their plight,

the band less video of what's happening. we think it's more dangerous than before. much of the much of the content that's displayed on us media or i'm, you know, global media is being shot by house any. and so we're working and gaza as a stringers are free lancers or the or staff for these western outlets. very disturbing that murder is a choice by many of the authoritarian governments that do not want a free press in their country. um, you know, of course, you know, jailing can lead to complaints or lawsuits and, and then they will yield to pressure. so the murder is increasingly becoming the option for many of these organizations are desperate to

a obscure what is being done in their countries. the numbers government has held a ceremony tomorrow. the 25th anniversary is gaining control of one of the well most important waterways. cus relinquished control of the panama canal in on december 31st 1999. but u. s. president elect donald trump is now threatening to take it back in this page, during the anniversary of his president, declared the canal will remain in the hands forever. well, let's take a closer look at one of the world's crucial waterways. the panama canal was built by the us and spend 82 kilometers connecting the pacific and atlantic oceans. it saves the ships, weeks of travel by avoiding the longest journey around south america. the canal shows and the los angeles to new york trip to $22.00 days instead of a month. 1977, the us and panama assigned

a treaty grunting panama control over the canal, starting on december 31st 1999. the waterway handles 5 percent of global trade transporting vital goods like metal fuel and grains. the us is by far its biggest use with about 74 percent of congo volume followed by china and japan. the canal which was expanded recently and around $5000000000.00 in revenue for kind of mis governance. let's unpack this story. i'm joined now by john cole rodriguez, who's a specialist in maritime shipping and poets. and is also a professor at the texas and m university of galveston. and he's joining us live from texas. thank you for joining us on the old is your new seller. let's begin with setting the context for us because at this moment, as panama is celebrating the 23 5th anniversary of the hand of the,

of the canal. this moment is somewhat overshadowed by these threats from president elect. donald trump. yes indeed, it's that it comes out a very fortress with a timing to say the least, but there is a strategy between behind the presidents. i would say statements regarding the, the panama canal, which is most any issue about the tools and particularly totally increases that are taking place. well let's, let's try to understand more about these told because what the president will like to trump has said, is that quote, the fees charged by panama ridiculous. those are his words. just help us in understanding the context why. why would he consider that the fees are ridiculous? why have price has gone up? the total revenue of increased over the last 3 years in a very substantial matter. it depends on the type of commodities or the type of ship for containers, say what they charge or on average product per

t. u is roughly increasing by 15 percent. and for, for the commodities functions such as natural gas and that would say for oil, it's roughly 150 to 200 percent expense. obviously energy credit is very important for me not states and for texas and particular you can understand in good faith displeasure of the forthcoming administration regarding the stall increase a using these housing tony cruise as a form of leverage as a to, to, to possibly to relocate something and jump whole at this moment as trump is suggesting that the new administration could trying to regain control of the canal . is there actually any legal mechanism for that to happen? and that's a very difficult thing to say. but obviously the treaty granted the sovereignty of the canal to upon them by in perpetuity, what we know about international politics forever because of never forever, depending upon the circumstances. there are also other challenges for the canal

including climate change. yes, depending on i cannot over the last couple of years, a subsidy experienced that type of draught which is part of the weather cycle. and it was, i would say less precipitation, an average, which was not on usual. but what was more unusual, this was the increase in the traffic, and therefore part of my face, some shortages. and as i can trust, it stole up to, to compensate for this decline in capacity. and obviously this, the bank is now over, that is the can on this all back to normal operating conditions. thank you so much . the special uncle rendering q is a specialist maritime shipping. joining us from texas as 2024 was a historic e. as in mexico, is a country elected, its 1st female president with claudia, shines on inherited dish record breaking levels of violence and threats, as must equal taishan from the us. julia gadgianno reports

nor drums. the threats have been able to carve the issue most affecting the likes of mexicans, the unabated violence, despite promises to ring them in murder rates have sword in 2024, with several states in the midst of all the battles for control between rival criminal groups. despite for support among the voters, many communities are trapped in mexico's and most cycle of pilots and shame bounce coming year, and perhaps our entire presidency will be judged on how she handles that. julia galle. i know i'll just be here on the us mexico border please. 5 children have been killed in manila after a fire broke out in a residential building. the children were reportedly visiting the grand father before new years in the philippine capital. the incident happened overnight. the 5 cousins were found dead on the terrace of the bones house local authorities, or investigating the cause of the main supply of drinking water in zimbabwe is
