the, the, the us easiest, some restrictions on humanitarian aid for syria, but stopped short of listening sanctions. the sound is there alive and don't, will says coming up a magnitude 7 point. one of the quakers hit to advance, at least 50 people are dead and dozens more spinning just i intend to resign. as party leader. as prime minister, a succession of battled begins in canada. 5 minutes of just intruder says he'll be

stepping down often any 10 years. and of course donald j. trump of the state of florida has received 312 volts. com allow us, congress specifies the 2024 election results and the victory of donald trump. the us treasury department has announced it will temporarily ease some sanctions on syria. the 6 month for free will focus on the delivery of humanitarian aid and the provision of essential services such as electricity and water. but functions on the government, the central bank and financial transfers will remain in place. the lifting of sanctions has been a key demand of the new server and administration. the country's foreign minister who is on a tour of the middle east of the drum up support, has repeatedly said that the sanctions of humming the syrian people. will the tradesman step my honey law son says food and fuel are running out. he's wound,

the country only has a few months of supply left and is struggling under the weight of the ongoing sanctions. he says, series of faces, a catastrophe if functions are not listed. so we're going to move to open up the country. syria is due, administration has lifted internet bands, imposed by the former regime, restrictions were put on the internet access speed on connection by the side regime . the communications minister says that one now in the hans access to information for all serious i'll just say it was right so, so it has more from the syrian capital of 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 of food, water product or service agent. and also that is not interrupting the governance functions of the need administration in city about the department of the tragedy is nothing that these are position is just for 6 months as the us immigration is going to continue one of the restrictions 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 blog the property of any blog or section 1st, include in 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 saying that this 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 as the fate of their friends or families that are leaving in the north east at the north west of the conference. so here what we can understand is an important step, a strong show of goodwill from the united states to have the ceiling is what and 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 for the 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 of the company is the largely disconnected from the international. so we have system. this is ada. i'll

just sorta damascus. while a range of sanctions, mostly imposed by western countries, are threatening the recovery of serious economy. often any 14 years of civil war, shortly after master protests interrupted against special, i'll us out in 2011 and the bottom product down that followed the us and even po sanctions on syria followed by other countries. later the us and you expanded those sanctions. i think the central bank, the electricity and energy sectors in 2019 the us passed the seas act which effectively banned states and private businesses from doing deals with outsides. government while outside is now gone, western sanctions remain in place including on the high i'll tell you, i'll show them the main group it over through us side and is now leading. syria is transition document photo hyundai is the president of the serial american medical society. and he says while the us as the some sanctions, oh functions needs to be lifted. 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 more clarity the, the, the new license, a 24 allows us to be able to deal with the steering government institutions that are working with him in a jerry sector. so that makes it much clear, but it's still now we're so you know, there are certain individuals on this government now that are under the, labeled under the 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, a transfer of the goods or, or, or even money to directly to these particular individuals, but rather work with the government institutions. uh so yes, it is very tricky for now and we are hoping to get more clarification strongly in

the us government where everybody is, is going to be all the sanctions are going to be listed on there will be recognition for the government. serious new administration is facing a backlash. software announcing changes to the school curriculum, including the scrapping of into subjects and books, step in protest against the move at some university campuses. i'll just here as how shall i have a bar as more now from damascus. this is a school for city as most talented. many have known, 2 tons has the full of assets and exams are due to his thoughts soon. but it's changes to the curriculum that many here are talking about. the new authorities have decided to scrap any subject the finds, the former would you the said somebody with the basketball team and in reference to the pre used lot mcqueen? zenobia has also been a bonus along with studies on the origins of lines. templates they've been out of

you, they removed some subject homes and introduced religion. i'm fine with it in the sense that we'll have fewer subjects for the exam. joseph bonnie, is the school's principal. the school is nearly empty and there is no budget to buy supplies. the students are serious best, but the work on computers which have no keyboards and muscles because he did ask how much there needs to be a comprehensive study to decide which subjects to remove the changes were swift. why would you remove scientific subjects? this is the university of damascus. there was a great deal of uncertainty about what's next, but many enjoy what the describe as freedom of to the over. so old, the regime nationalism as a set subject has completely been removed and that is the most drastic change that has happened to the school students as of now. but so for now, we have to wait until the future and maybe we'll, we'll see what the good things will happen or, god forbid that things. but for testers here in front of the minister of education,

say the new administration doesn't have a monday to change the cubic column. there won't to happen when there is an elected bottom. and the temporary government doesn't have a legitimate power to do so to impose changes, especially that's better isn't it goes to fusion now to to allow such measures to be taken off of the backlash. the ministry now says most of the curriculum will remain intact and that specialized committees with the full to review and all the of them. the biggest the, is that the education overall could road the promise of building an inclusive society of other presents serious cultural and ethnic makeup. but critics say that adjustment, which is good signal, a push to reinforce

a religiously conservative agenda by a government struggling to convince the west, lift its senses on site and then so it's a for the new syria. how should, by the 0, damascus, there are fullest palestinian all 30 forces of set fire to homes and the janine refugee camp in the north of the oxide, west bank 5 homes with satellite in the camp, which has been the talkative, a security operation for the past month the palestinian authority denies the reports and the phone as were stopping by when it cools outlaws, ministry groups aligned with how my son fund to have released a joint video statement from the janine kemp. and if the outcome some of october gauge tele palace didn't all party they are running out of patience, becuz epa of cutting off the comfortable to and to make trinity supplies. and one of more aggressive action is forces done withdrawal. meanwhile is ready, step lives of count out several of tax and the village of hodges that's in the north of the oxide westbank. they burned a vehicle and agricultural store. it follows the shooting has gotten there and then

a global hunger monitoring system known as i p c. which recently issued a report that says a 5 areas are basing famine and over 24000000 sudanese experience high levels of food and security. by may, we are concerned the seed needs will services of hostage that participation in the ip c system. in response to this report are continuing to deny the food and security spreading costs across to done would only exacerbate suffering. un official said the sudanese government is imposing bureaucratic hurdles to delivering aid. the advert costing remains a crucial entry point and to route. but inside the for additional restrictions are being imposed on the work of you monitoring organizations. a new inspection procedures for trucks intended for conflict affected areas and not the full are creating new boss will next. the sudanese authorities decision to suspend their

collaboration with the ip c system and impede international efforts to provide humanitarian assistance and prevent starvation is simply unacceptable. but sedans, ambassador told the council ip c report is flawed into one with the, to the, for the we reject the claims in the ip c report, not because we want to hide famine. but because the methodology lacked accuracy and transparency. russia was the only other accounts, so member to back students, criticism of the report. most of the counsel echoed the remarks of slovenia was the i p. c. system is not without its limitations. each remains the most robust to available to the international community for assessing for security. while there are some disagreement on the council, on what constitutes a famine, everyone does agree on one thing. millions of suited needs are suffering and to

them, it's not about hunger reports or statistics. it's simply about not enough di gabriel's on to i'll just see the 50 united nations new york. it's a magnitude 7 point one us quite because it's a bit johnny state media says more than 50 people have been killed and dozens more were injured. it took place and the reason of she got say, which is near the border with the full many buildings collapsed in the area. and pop of trim is also felt. and then the police capitol cap men do i'll just say it was katrina. you joins us live now from vision. katrina, this is clearly a very powerful a quick. what more details have you been hearing the from officials for the government said that there's also a quick struck the northern foothills of the himalayas at 9 or 5 a. and now the region effected is to got so which is considered sacred in buddhism . but the, at the center was doing the county, which is a 4 in mountainous region home to 6 villages and approximately 70000 people. now

the government says that the couch figures are still being updated, but the number we have so far as 53 people have died and doesn't have been in, in just looking now at these pictures coming in from the selected areas. we're seeing villages problems with buildings, people starting to pick through the debris. the government says more than 1000 homes have been destroyed in the quick and 1500 with emergency workers have been set this to help the villages to help them people the survive is treating them out on the streets. and emergency teams are also picking through the rubble, trying to rescue those who may be trapped underneath. we also know that emergency tents and supplies have been sent from nearby urban areas to help those who have lost the homes. but making this whole emergency, it's really difficult is the fact that this is a really mountain is remote regions, high altitude roads getting narrow, very difficult. and the rest of the operation is nate more difficult by the cold

winter conditions. have to say though, this area of she got to is no stranger to us quite in the past 5 years. they've experienced 29 quakes all above magnitude 3, but locals are saying that this of the week is the most helpful, that they've felt in years. it was even felt in neighboring india baton and in the phone. all right, so i'll just give katrina you the reporting live from vision. katrina, thank you. a lot also has come here and i'll just area including the lead of austria's fall right freedom part. he has met with the president has for many austin to former governor plus. i'm heidi joe castro in washington dc. currently a winter wonderland. but millions of americans in the region, racing for potentially dudley whether the

color we are looking at the skies clearing across the east side of the mediterranean side with the sun shines. royal weather coming in behind. temperatures generally getting up into the, the high teams here. but over night, that's where those type of just pulled away quite readily and many pos we'll see type of just getting down into single figures close to if not below freezing americans. much of that the, but you can save and except for degrees celsius because of the down into single figures. as we go on into a waiting list i, temperatures to pick up once again again, it does stay allows you dry for the most part and most your wi costs out of pocket . so the radium financially, but that system that has been clearing away from the east, the metal that produces a line to show us where to whether across the rock down towards q 8, easing across southern older hub or saudi arabia, some soft chalice that could lead to some localized flooding then i will slip a little further south, which as we go through, why does they maybe with sponsor to have right here in console, generally troy across north africa,

some showers that across northern positive algeria into geneva, seasonal shelves continuing. meanwhile, across central parts of africa and a line of audit storms. so that is to sort of south africa slowly moving. but i didn't know of the gas or a breathtaking tropical paradise. ready where its former protectors are now we follow through just as they put their lives on the line, the think it's all on now to 0. the, the,

the kind of in your watching out of the record to mind about top stories here this hour the us treasury has announced it will temporarily ease some sanctions on syria. be 6 months for people focus on the delivery of humanitarian aid on the provisions of a central services such as electricity and water sanctions on the government for the central bank and financial transfers will remain in place a magnitude 7 point one as quick as hit to bank chinese state meet us as more than 50 people, have been killed. many buildings have collapsed in the area for time, as well as that's out. and then definitely east company cut off and then a 10 years as prime minister of canada. justin true though, as announced he resigned, follows months of political pressure including from members within his own party,

calling on him to step down. parliament has not been suspended and his liberal party will begin the process of picking a new leader. i'll just say it was my kind of results. after nearly a decade, as prime minister, adjusting to the images from is also a home to announce the end to an era and canadian politics. i intend to resign as party leader as prime minister after the party selects it's next leader to a robust nationwide competitive process. parliament was due to con, being at the end of this month, and looming a vote of no confidence to the, to the government. which old polls indicate would have put the conservative party impala to me? this has now been averted with the postponement of the parliamentary, sitting. the parliament has been paralyzed for months after what has been the longest session of a minority parliament in canadian history?

that's why this morning. i advise the governor general that we need a new session of parliament. she has granted this request, and the house will now be pro rogue until march 24th. to go to the office at the age of 43, promising canada a better future. but his decision to open canada is bold as to thousands of refugees leading civil war. and syria provokes the 1st and much rings of political descent, which grew louder when to go in both to emergency powers, to cook. best of protests against the restrictions imposed during the cobit pandemic. and just popularity continued to dwindle. and it's this new of ethics scandals and political missteps. his approval rating dropping to only 24 percent last month. this coincided with threats by us president elect donald trump, to impose turnips on canada as soon as he takes office,
