hi, production costs and promise diversifying drive across one country to draw freaked out. this in 10 would likely mean to shop price in the price of manufacture coke of product life. calculate the to the us announces some sanction release to syria, to ensure essential services for the key restrictions remain. the other one, my main site. this is our desire and life from so also coming up no end to the grief and bloodshed in gaza at least 17 palestinians including a child killed and is really a tags i intend to resign as party leader. as prime minister

succession bass one begins in canada to justin to day says he will be stepping down as prime minister often any 10 years. and also the votes for president of the united states are as follows. donald j trump, of the state of florida has received 312 and the peaceful transfer of how and the us is with the old congress specifies president elect donald trump. is the windows, the 2024 election full years off to his support. a storm b u. s. council. the hello. welcome to the program, the us treasury as announced the easing of some sanctions on syria for 6 months. now the temporary reprieve will focus on the delivery of humanitarian aid,

as well as the central services like electricity energy was to the sanctions on syria will remain in place including restrictions on the new administration as well as financial transfers on the central bank. serious trade administer ones. the country only has a few months of weight on fuel left and is struggling under the waste of ongoing restrictions. meanwhile, veneered minutes station has lifted internet and communication restrictions imposed by the former regime as it continues its efforts to reverse decades. if authoritarian rule under the sub regime or so we'll set up against coverage from damascus. the vs above most as of a, you has just leave a statement regarding the sections read for city and people to use the sanctions and to love the full of the men 30. and a um, also the, the, the, the, the, some of the kind of sections in syria. so that,

that the department of tragedy is saying that the aim for this action is to make sure that the us sanctions imposed on syria will not seen the flow of the mediterranean a, such a energy, electricity, food, water, product or service agent. and also that is not interrupting the governance functions of the need administration in city about depth department of the tragedy is not in that these are position is just for 6 months as the us immigration is going to continue one of the registration on the ground. so that means that 6 months later, the us government is going to reassess whether to continue with this actions or to expand the sanctions leave. so they say that it depends on the performance of the move in his vision in damascus. and also the authorization saying that us, why the government seeing that this authorization does not on the log, the property of any blog or section 1st, including the south comedy,

assess associates, the central government of syria, or the h d. s. at every sound, which is now the dominant port to go and ministry paul, but in syria, i'm also seeing that these authorization is not a loving any transactions, any financial transfer to any person that is still under this section. so the authorization is also loading some of the american city and citizens to have some personal relatives has to pay to their friends for families that are leaving in the north east at the north west of the conference. so here what they can understand is an important step, a strong show of goodwill from the united states to have the ceiling is what, what is suffering from the poverty. the scene is what science of the color from psalm, over 13 years of civil war. and also trying to have the new administration in terms of it pro, put a governor's functionality. however, despite these sessions leave city yet is still on the habit sections of the

structure. the sanctions are still going to remain in place. and the company is the largely disconnected from the international. so we have system. this is ada. i'll just sorta damascus. let's get more with dr. masato hyundai is president of the syrian american medical society joins us from chicago. thank you so much for your time, sir. so what we've heard today from the bond and administration is that the issue this syria related general license, i wonder if you could explain to me exactly what that means and what the implications are on the ground from a humanitarian point of view. this is really great news and actually it kind of is the perfect time now. and it's just that it was well a way to lift gate on the sanctions and lobbied hired by the certain american community here. we hope this is a jennifer steps we're going forward to lifting all the sanctions against syria.

this means a lot to uh, the humanitarian sector right now, because a lot of the steering people, most of the sharing people rely on the governmental uh, sex or for their livelihoods. and particularly very important factors which is includes the health sector. and we're seeing that to the certain government is having a hard time been able to provide enough even the basic needs for the human insurance at the crystal as a humanitarian organization. and then that is specializes in the health sector. this is a welcome relief for us, but because we can extend a hand to the syrian government dealing with the health care center that will lock into the central needs, including, you know, something like including the basic uh, needs, uh, equipment supplies for the hospitals, clinics and equipments, all these things that they already fire and aliesha,

culture and population rely on that. so having the ability to be able to transfer medical aid to that. so the story in the sector, so to me to a particular sectors of the story and government is specializing in humanitarian services, is extremely important. and also my father just to be clear, i presume one thing you were able to send a uh before. for example, during the recent of craig, that took place. so so what exactly has changed now as of the change and the difference is we were operating in the area outside of the government central area. we had a license to be able to do that. we had the permission of the international community of the american government has to do that. we have not dealt through the local government and side to the, the area there. and when she was the and she asked because there were sanctions

against that particular government. now we are able. ready to deal with the syrian government and place right now and be able to work with their institutions or hospitals to provide the before we were working independently from the government that they call it that the salvation army. ready salvation government says that was in place. and if i'm right in thinking that's the group that is now over seeing the countries still on the us perilous. so how tricky does that make it a for 8 organizations to know what they time and cannot do? it was much trickier before today because, you know, then we, we really were very hesitant to be able to do anything. and now it adds a little bit on clarity. the, the, the new license 24 allows us to be able to deal with the steering government

institutions that are working with who manager and sectors. so that makes it much clear, but it's still, uh now we're so you know, there are certain individuals on this government now that are under the, labeled under the, uh, syria, the american government sanctions, uh, as a terrorist organization. so we have to be careful not to be able to have direct, you know, uh, transfer of the goods and then the, or, or, or even money to directly to these particular individuals, but rather work with the government institutions. and the so yes, it is very tricky. for now, and we are hoping to get more clarification from the us government where everybody is, is going to be all the sanctions are going to be lifted down. there won't be recognition for the government or the future government to i appreciate your time today and talk to and the fido homes,

a president of the syrian american medical society. thank you. thank you. all there is hope that sanction relief will help rebuild syria's energy grid, which is suffering from years of civil war and neglect. and you had ministration says it's working around the clock to result the electricity crisis haven't valid reports as this is what the business district of the city of homes looks like up tonight. the few shops with lights rely on sort of public or private and the rate has likely set us don't own it. he says the price of decent is often more than he stated income. fuel shortages have 3 potable duction, a thomas dent that power station, one of the largest and see the list of all it's a 1000 to buy gold station with 90 minus 6 work with gas and 3 with a steam right now it's working out totally 40 percent of its capacity due to fuel filter just and this station normally provides homes, damascus,

tubman. and how about with the electricity? the 30 year old facilities also in dire need of nathan was overtaken by new technologies. finding staff policies as part of the cash stopped a new administration, is looking for solutions the immediately after the duration we came here to find the electricity facilities and a miserable situation from the stages of generation to the stages of transfer and distribution. the extensive of damage is such that most facilities are the don't function as will work at the limits. a capacity bus emergency measures have now been put some place. one of the most difficult tasks for those installed is distributing the limited electricity available from power conversion, distribution stations like this one. the normal situation is to provide electricity for 24 hours a day. but for the moment, only a sense of services such as hospitals,

water pumping stations and backs receive up to 16 hours as to private homes and businesses. they get only the out. another obstacle is damaged to power lines in destroyed districts. but the fuel supply remains the biggest challenge since the photo of the sound as of last month. the casual position groups who controlled major oil fields in the northeast have stopped trading with damascus and couldn't buy top, keeps support for the new administration. and has also stopped sending oil to city demanding that the payment of debts accumulated up onto the previous regime of the peak of winter city, the allies logic on the fuel gas wells. still operating in the symptoms, tell them what region or if they get of shipments from level, how much fun does 0 homes see? the

has been no less up and is riley bombardment of b garza stripe po. most 50 people have been killed and strikes across the street from the last 24 hours. and alvarez compton central garza, is really showing on a residential complex killed at least 3 palestinians, including a child and law says it's ready to attend some of the captives. but any sci fi data will depend on an end to israel's will to the well see program says is rarely forces shop assets convoy on sunday, near the why the goal is a check point. the organization says the vehicles were clearly marked and tiring. 8 staff members, they condemned the attack and called for the safe passage for humanitarian 8. well, the toll of gauze, as well as in just measured in destruction and displacement,

but also in the loss of critical community members detained without charge. delta is teachers and all the ordinary citizens have been detained or forcibly disappeared, leaving families in anguish and vital services. strange honey, my mood spoke to palestinians in darrow bought a whose lives have been disrupted by the rest of the family members. and this event collision center in the doctor to any of the struggles to keep life moving forward for her children. this is what i was of teens or husbands from the hospital in northern dogs. the last october. since then she hasn't heard much about him. female, i'm at the bottom. well, i got some contradictory and conflicting information about my husband. every time they talk about him being in a different prison, according to the latest information he is in states him on prison. what scared me the most is my husband's health condition. he suffers from many diseases. and his

age and health situation. he cannot tolerate is really torture. release dr. news have describe tortures. tar vision of use in his regular presence. at least 2500 palestinians have been detained from northern gaza, including dozens of medical staff. that's according to the palestine center for prisoner studies. i meant the worsening humanitarian situation in garza, the families are lift without finance or support and struggling to make ends meet. this community without my husband, the burdens on my shoulders are massive, psychologically and financially. the situation is very critical. these released kidnapped him because they didn't want him to save anyone as they want to kill more and more of the palestinians. there are no charges against him except being a doctor who does his job. many of other families are left in the dark and surgeon of their loved ones are eating

a life. so far as india has no information about her husband's fate. about how to kind of help him. i said the last, the last stop a very displacement journey wasn't data and fella. my husband went back to gaza to bring some stuff from there, but he didn't come back since he's currently considered missing. i don't know if he's a martyr or critically injured or even prisoner somewhere. if he's a prisoner, we want to know who's conditions, his health status and whether he was tortured or not in this very cold winter. so far as the children have been forced to take on responsibilities far beyond their age and the absence of their father has added to the psychological trauma caused by israel as was seen in the mama when blah, blah, blah, blah. the children are asking you a lot about their father because we missed him so much. they want their father to be with them. during every showing and a talk. they ask about their father and where he is. for families, the weight for a 1000 steels ends less the claim to hold, even as their lives are all,

with no words on the welfare of their loved one. these families are asking for something more immediate justice and their return. honeymoon. i was just the out from there is velocity policy, the functionality 10 years as prime minister of canada justin trio has announced that he will resign as follows. months of political pressure, including from members within his own policy, cooling on him to step down, is also been and looming for us from us. president elect donald trump, who says he'll introduce tire of some canadian goods of to taking office. parliament has been suspended until march 24th, giving to those liberals time to pick a new policy. nita, with friends, as you all know, i'm

a fighter. every bone in my body has always told me to fight because i care deeply about canadians. i care deeply about this country and i will always be motivated by what is in the best interest of canadians. so last night, over dinner, i told my kids about the decision that i'm sharing with you today. i intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects it's next leader to a robust nationwide competitive process of a political crisis comes out a delicate time for accountant. that would donald trump returning to the oval office in just 2 weeks, just off to 2 days resignation from said this on to social. he posted. if canada merge with the united states, that would be no tower. if taxes would go way down and they would be totally secure

from the threats of russian and chinese ships that are constantly surrounding them together. what a great nation it would be. let's get more on this with a full mouth and bass. that wouldn't even cut knees and x x best on international diplomacy and junk senior fellow at the rand corporation really get if you to join us today. and how does there the timing of justin tutors exit? it really couldn't be. what else could it 2 weeks before donald trump takes office when he's promised to impose these 25 percent tire, of some imports from canada on day one as well. people should take too seriously. uh, some of the statements. uh, president trump makes uh, for example, uh before the election. uh he said that he would solve the war and you're crazy one day even before i took office since the election. here's a repeat of that is said that he may support your grant toners and agreement with

russia. so i think we need to be careful about some of the status as it turns out, the pendulum that trump is on to something the capital, the increment of the person in the united states is now 50 percent higher than in canada. canada has had a very sluggish economy, with some recent declining productivity of both a $2.00 ministration. the ministrations tried to govern as progresses, but it wasn't clear that they had a mandate in other countries to do that. and so now we see a turn around so how do you think justin treat as exit as kind of as a prime minister will actually affect a kind of his relationship with the united states? no, it shouldn't have much impact the presence of the old permit. this isn't canada. i have supported very close ties with united states because economies are really

tightly linked. for example, automobile components, our cars go back and forth across the board or several times. so it really would not be possible were wise for the canadian later to try to change the driver relationship with the masters. so how serious do you think donald trump is when he makes such comments about kind of that becoming the 55 states? as i guess it got serious of all there is a 0 prospect, the canada would agree to become the fixture. a state canadians are required for thank you. i think i'm proud of their country because they're really slow. so g deluxe, but what president trump seems to be trying to achieve is to gain some of the go shooting leverage with canada on buddy putting it on the defensive. but what is purposes there is? i'm clear. ok, thank you for joining us for my invest

a william catney speaking back from washington. thank you. you're welcome. so ahead on our to 0, the us and boy to the middle east is and 11 on this is really trip slowly begin. moving out of the country, concerns remain about the stability of the has bullet is riley sees fine deal the to hello. it seems to me, useful writing full into the south east of australia could save us band of clouds. aspen drifting its way across victoria routes to south australia running down towards the fall. se hard pressure does come in behind solely wind here. so that's what's drawing in the cooler air whatsoever will push across southern policy scenarios of new south wells. right. and getting into sydney knocking the

temperatures down somewhat, say temperatures into the mid twenties for melvin following on from what we can for quite some time for around 10 years worth of weather will creep its way towards new zealand. some weather coming in across the south. all its a central pos for wedding stay, same system just running out because that is the side of us. she can see still pretty hate into central areas. having said that was pretty cold weather across the career, put in stuff in the cold weather. the quote was across much of china, we have got some snow there on the other side of the city of japan, western parts of japan as bill sig, fabulous. no 4. if you just pushing a little further north was easing out as we go through the 2nd half of the week temperatures and take care at around 12 degrees celsius. sheltered by the amount is not too bad to replace guys and sunshine the

to understand the world. we must experience life through and now designs discover the story, forgotten. we split along the passage of time. the voices drowned out by the cave. within the ordinary, extraordinary dust and witness documentary, the gun veiled the trees and changed perspective. on 20 the the, [000:00:00;00] the 14 you, i'll just bear in mind top stories. this out of the us treasury has announced the

easing of some sanctions on syria for 6 months. free for focus on the delivery from out of turn aid i'm is central services. most sanctions, including on the new administration, financial transfers on the central bank will remain at least 17 people have been killed in ongoing attacks and gaza since doing the alvarez camp in the center of the strip is rarely shunning on a residential complex cube. at least 3 palestinians, including the canadian prime minister justin trigo house and now see stepping down his call to you need a he will stay on as my minister until the liberal policy. he likes his placement the united states congress has certified donald trump selection victory. and the presidential election has defeated opponent and vice president coming to harris over sold the proceedings. and for me,

declared him the when a trump received 312 electoral college votes, harris, 226 security was tied to round the capital. 2021 supposes of donald trump stolen in the capital and event to disrupt the process, and off the last that is election to joe biden. from single gratian will take place in washington. on january, the 20th of the votes for president of the united states are as follows. donald j trump, of the state of florida, has received 312 votes comm, olivia harris, the pamela de harris of the state of california. it has received 226 votes.

my wife has corresponding kimmy hol, can, has moved from washington. tomlin harris, the vice president, the united states and president in the joint session of congress now certifying her election loss and the victory of donald trump of the 2024 us selection. now this is typically been a basic ritual of us democracy that'll change 4 years ago when donald trump and her sister forty's, the stormy us capital, in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 us selection of very different seen. on this monday 2025, january 6. that's because of a number of reasons. first heavy security and a big reminder of the police presence. not only uh 4 years ago, but in place again because of what happened on january 6th, 2021. also the snow storm,

also making sure that people stayed home and didn't come out to try and protest, but as well, kala harris as well as president biden says that they were not going to challenge the results of the 2020 for your selection. and they were committed to the peaceful transfer of power. there's also been a change in law as of 2022, there is now a lot in place to ensure that the vice president cannot in any way overturn the results of the election. something that donald trump had suggested that vice president mike pens had the power to do back in 2021. something that was in fact not the case. now with regard to those who were convicted of their role in the violence that occurred back on january 6th, 2021. and donald trump has said he will pardon. those who have been convicted are currently in jail. in fact, he says, when he is in operated on january 20th of this year,

he will pardon them as one of his 1st acts as president can really help it out to 0 washington. so you, as president joe bought in vice an opinion piece in the washington post saying that the january 6th attack in the us capital 4 years ago should not be forgotten. as a reminder that democracy is never guaranteed. he writes, we should not forget. we must remember the wisdom of the dodge that any nation forgets, paused, is doomed to replace it. we cannot accept to repeat of what occurred 4 years ago. he goes on to say an unrelenting f, as has been on the way to rewrite even to raise the history of that day and to dismiss concerns about it as some kind of pauses on obsession. this is not what happened. he writes, in time there will be americans who didn't witness to january 6th, right 1st time, but we'll learn about that from 1st age and testimony of that day, from what is worse than in history books. and from the truth,

we pass on to our children. we cannot allow the truth to be lost. steve clemons as a journalist and who has developed as there is weekly show the bottom line, he says, the attack on the us capital will remain a point of tension in american history. i think a lot of people have not only forgotten, but i think, as you saw in tweets recently between liz cheney and, and donald trump, many republicans are trying to rewrite the story of january 6th is one of heroism of sacrifice by patriots. and as kimberly how could just mentioned donald trump's intention to pardon the most if not all of those convicted of crimes on january 6th. and so i think this, this is going to be an ongoing point of tension regarding truth regarding american history. and then even though president trump did win re election, he doesn't have the right many people bill to rewrite what happened,
