among the 45 patients that have been allowed to leave district on tuesday forever. creve w h or dates of reveals isabel ding noise. more than 60 percent of patients requests a potential death sentence community back to 0. will that spring and try to assume who is in debt or bella in central gaza product focused through these latest strikes in the world? just a couple we have, we have been witnessing the combination of tensions that they've got earlier since the early hours have been you. yeah. and then also strengthened what, what is buddy occupation forces have load series as strikes as we have heard from medical sources on that devalue. and by that time, we know so far that i, residential house has been targeted without any prior warnings left. the death tool has been staggering that we know that at least 15 palestinians have become some

killed in the strike, including assembly mendez, father looms side with his 3 sons, were killed inside is the inside that building. and so as to now the efforts for risk informations awesome underway by civilly and some of the civil defense. what is going to take the form of responsibility to risk their lives in order to recover the victims or even looking and searching for survivors elsewhere. there has been also a very remarkable tension as the gravity of the situations escalating by the minute . one of the latest press for rights of strikes to place on a great refugee come, what do civilians, what kills? and now with the sentiment areas, i can see if the some dollars is what i need a drug test in the sky. all there is by the town as this a military activity has to be quite so media and for peace that during the hours of each morning until our talk us through some of the challenges that people are facing in terms of living conditions. we just heard from meals report course about

the cold weather, heavy rain as well and focus through what people have been telling you. well, we have been speaking to people on the ground as we know that families living and make shift tents and shelters are really struggling and facing immense challenges to cope with the current situation. especially with pools. with that, since we know that they are living in a made ship shelters that are quite temporary, and they were constructed by send a fat break ends even plastic cheese. but both of them is protection against a very cold weather conditions that been traits, the bodies and even parents. we understand clearly that thoughts of civil defense have confirm at least 800500 midship tents have been destroyed due to the flooding of havior rain. uh, that's assumed they're made shift showcases, sending them into pools of water

a month. and this is not the only challenge that they have been going through for full, so they are overwhelmed with blistering attacks, ongoing struggle survive. i'm looking for the food sources and even their ongoing search for a supplies across the street. so life and gaza has become a beacon of a struggle that has no wind inside on day in day out the humanitarian lives. we have just even off the psychological tools of the ongoing displacement. i'm the repeats of evacuation owed, as boost of williams have really received over the course of the past 14 months is adding more values to the power city. and ms. reed that is deepening as time passes to our thank you for your reporting that started us and proposing from data above the united nations and agencies. a warning of unloading rates of contamination in guns as water supply and emergency water quality survey

was conducted between december 1st and 23rd. it found with nearly 73 percent of drinking water and more than 97 percent of domestic water samples did not contain the minimum amount of core and needed to make it safe. to 19 percent of the samples collected were contaminated with sewage and health care facilities. this rage was move in 21 percent. the pool water quality is caused by israel is located, does cut off access to water testing, equipment and disinfectants. israel has also destroyed guns as water quality control system. semi l a. n is the director of the center for islam and global affairs at eastern bruising university. he says there's notion of international pressure on israel, just off acts of genocide in gaza. you commission to me it hasn't been doing anything treated to solicit you don't have any names, any thoughts,

the force is ready to do anything they have 0 leverage is always been consulting the situation for a long time because none of the actors with very few exceptions like that, how is any of them, are willing to actually force is for him to give up any kind of concession on this area. you need to concession it's international law. what is, what is it being done is violating international law, left and right. and it hasn't been any method is able to bring it to a to under control. and that's the problem because i'd say it's all those ready when they treat all the other powers and not willing to do anything about it. so they just, you know, shrunken and look the other way and the, the, the, the victims of this genocide, the victims of these work problems or the for this thing instead of paying heavy price. because of this simply, that's the word order. this is a national was the, as, as, as lost its meaning. and i think that would be the huge price of the word would have to pay after the end of this genocide of the

new year in damascus and a new administration. serious leaders have been working to build relations with the outside world. less than a month of the s and regime fell in an exclusive interview without a 0. the foreign minister said shavani outlined the goals of the administration. this was how damascus i should in 2025, giovanni told of 0. he's hoping for a united syria and stability in the region, but i don't understand it. there's no fee um if you would like to watch it in the events we were listening to doesn't admit different $1.00. what's happening? does the region 7 or not remind us on the part of the speech and what we did over the past week? that's it also helped me prevent a video live on the interrupted and see the following. let me,

i can be good. just open is are easy for union, the seating of what they gross hold on. how about within the last month kind of. but when we from the industry differently throughout the country and remove the threat posed by his long run, and i need to few specifically show number than a week about to a world history just that even the mid the cd and people been that's great. this victims on such a well haven't, and course i think the massive destruction, you know, country is there is something the key on a breach. i add this reality to that does not seem to concern the seat and people are going to shut the modem. it's an issue for every country on, but just to that key the one month, this is a modest unexpected, and that is not in casual $1.00 to $330.00. so how did we haven't previously stated that one of people leaving b. c. i need to stabilize my my own a hush him about a is life for us in damascus hush. and the foreign minister touched on a range of topics in that interview that you conducted. what did he say about his regional priorities?

jessica, h. space and stability. i asked him a question about the potential for a full blown confrontation in the region. you have his writing codes and in the buffer zone on these via the serial for the you have instability, you have code is functions with weapons. the north eastern part of the country. we have strange relations with iran as we speak. and it was interesting what he said. we want to turn syria into the geneva with the middle east. and we want to turn the chapter on decades of violence was an instability. i think, to understand the geopolitics of the us, happening though in the region. and this explains why the top priority now is having good relations with the americans, with the saudis wealthy out of nations with turkey. and even with russia about this sort, i said a few days ago that he does not want to see the russians leave in

a humiliating way of that. there is still a week, a room full of parts of the ship with no scope and explains that this new administration understands that from now phone words, weeks off to the dial for the bus out an asset people's we've turned to the to day, the problems, poverty and submitted to reconstruction problems by the government to increase salaries by 400 percent. and the government has to come for us now and they need cash to get the cash. you have to have diplomatic look at the vision and this is what we're looking forward to achieve. but the ticket, any of them that it goes to slide to lift the sanctions on syria motion. you also asked about the issue of social cohesion. i'll just read a part of the interview for our audience, where you asked about guarantees on the issue of protecting the rights of minorities. and the foreign minister replied with an interesting comment that from his perspective, there are no minorities here. there are only the syrian people. what does that tell

you about how the new administration is approaching this issue of social cohesion? that's, that's, you writes you up so that the advice that jessica, this is someone comes from a conservative background. we know it was you knew of just a few weeks ago, the general feelings of and i was asking people at the europe, you need about whether there's any chance to do with the new as the registration of the say. we don't know them very well. and we have to get guarantees from them that they would break away from that. that restricts interpretation of islam and open up to society and a sad to say about it in his interview with others either. it was interesting when he told me that the west should not be using minorities as a weapon against us. they have to understand that's we what this acute it's the same way, all the minorities what the security and syria. and that's genuinely looking forward to have an inclusive government good is going to be definitely a huge challenge for the new administration. and they also have to understand that

the moment you go to the u. b is and the americans full financial assistance, you have to accept that the strings attached to that to, to the aid, which is the basically the need on tolerance, vibrant democracy, vote of low. and also for 2nd is instead of you have to be given up because say for women to have the biggest say in society and for the minorities to have a biggest say this is a huge problem that this is an administration is facing, that we'd have to face particularly next week when this the national conference, you cannot have a genuine discussion about the future of syria and the transition to democracy. if we don't see women and minorities voicing back and says, and deciding also that the genuine parts of this society. so i think and by the way, jessica, this is similar to what we've seen in different parts of the out of world. following the 2011 spring, we have the end of the regina, the beginning of

a new government and your thought of which is trying to reach out to get legitimacy and both forward. but then they stumbled and they faced many problems with the syrians beyond exception. the remains to be seen hash and thank you for your reporting, natasha, about a reporting from damascus. the years of conflict and natural disasters have left syria's i left a seat. adel run down and damaged it's in your nest. go world heritage site, and one of the country's most important cultural attractions. now the full of the outside regime has renewed interest in restoring it. but how much val reports from that the it's the lead to dates back near the 5 millennial starting initially as an automate temple. as implies that controlled it succeeded one another. it was 10 due to a faulty fight, a boat for kings, and sometimes time invasions and natural erosion. as you click on the add to it,

see studies value a ton of product the, the costs a little. the lippo is a special tourist attraction with great symbolism for syrians and now what needs repair and the rehabilitation of its basic infrastructure, including water, electricity communications, interest passages, welcome to during the civil war, the sad army turned the castle into an observation tower. on the launch pad, full snipers, wireless airplanes. finally, the civilian areas on the place. the attacks destroyed some of the oldest historic buildings to meet the castle. the area became unsafe for 2 reasons. and in february 2023, to a squeeze silk, the seat of the leaving cox on some of its walls, including lemme d for you, we'd most probably say in las vegas, the 4th 2010,

syria used to receive up to 3000000 tourists. a year, most of them would visit a level just to see the war has disrupted that and what things have now changed. the border crossings in airports should reopen, so the tourist can return to syria and come on after the fall of the outside, the g. c. thought that it has to bring back to life with a spontaneous festivities and a rise in the number of local visitors held in an optimal speed of hope for a state of syria. how much on the 0 i left, but still ahead on the 0. ukraine and russia and due to supply guess, to europe, ending a decades long agreement, the,

the major changes sweeping down. so you're up to change to cold weather, which will bring some snow with it. but this is the streak of tire that demonstrates it's a cold front costs and it's doing what it's supposed to do, bringing cold air with it now long it this, the front itself is a spill of heavy rain, strong winds, which will reach northern france, belgium, the netherlands, northern jeremy and head of course the baltic states are following quite a strong, noisily wind, which winter to state. and the contrasting temperature is $12.00 to $5.00. this is the change we're going to feel as this comes through. that's the size of it. the winds picking up too, so where it's been for me persistently saving some parts of northern europe, that our staff to change it actually fairly rapidly to the costs steering to state thursday, the whole lot sink size that come with the producers. now even even low ground impulse of germany sitting here with a high grad throughout the outs and beyond. and that's the contrast because the size that is being quiet and miles is not turning colder with some snow loss of rain and following the sun over to him, but in much colder conditions. in contrast,

north africa has seen while the hottest far east places reported on the last day of the b one or 2 paces 3 or 4 degrees above average. and that's going to be the assistant, a terry davies and the kimberly in western australia or indigenous communities attaining at with sciences to create a new approach to marine conservation land the way even. but the fear i'm afraid when you, when you're reporting from review, is you're going to try, it's protecting by the adversity pro, defending themselves against the legal invaders, the price on it, which is 0 the

a vast network of pipelines on european sol towards customers in the european union laterally. just a few customers left among them hungry and slovak. yeah, we're not talking about a huge amount of gas cutoff here about 5 percent of the used total needs. but j politically, this is extremely significant, brings to a final and rushes once dominance of the e u energy market and dominance. so that if you recall, it has in the past years to pretty destructive economic effects, demanding higher prices for gas, threatening to turn the types off at the height of winter and so on. and of course, it has come as a result of this war with the price to be paid by the european union itself. many countries have diversified supply to was more expensive sources of liquid natural gas from the likes of norway, united states and cut off those high price is meant an economic slowdown across the european union and worries about future long term competitiveness in those economy
