12:02 pm
really aggression in the occupied golwood heights. israel extending its occupation there and relentless airstrikes. so what the syrian foreign minister is hoping to accomplish with jordanian counterparts, is that support on how exactly they are going to rebuild their shortly going to need not only regional allies with western ones as well. there is new for administer. it has spoken out while he was on his diplomatic trip to doha. he said that the new administration is urging the united states to lift the sanctions entirely because they are now working against the new administration, trying to re establish the country. and they're saying that what was once put in place against us as brutal regime is now standing in the way of any sort of rebuilding process that could lead to a prosperous state. so what they're hoping to accomplish here today is the meeting with both counterparts. but also trying to send a message to not only the region but to the west, but this is a new syria. this is
12:03 pm
a new government who is involved and that they do want those sanctions lifted in order to import more food to get more humanitarian aid more relief as they see fit . and with those sanctions still in place, despite easing them just a little bit, they say it's still not enough. no range of sanctions mostly imposed by western countries on threatening the recovery of serious economy. often any 14 years of civil war. shortly optimized, the prices are up to the gains pressure on the side in 2011 divided cracked down that followed the u. s. and e. you impose sanctions on syria followed by other countries. later the u. s. and e u expanded the sanctions hitting the central bank and the energy sector in 2019 us pasta. caesar act, which effectively band states and private businesses from doing deals with sides government aside is now gone, of course. but the sanctions remain in place, including on hight toby, al charmaine, the the main group that over through
12:04 pm
a site and is now leading serious transition. so let's take this on now with the onset guess something about account to the professor of public policy. it has not been can leave the university joins as life at hit in doha salton. welcome that you say these, this lifting partial lifting of sanctions, or easing of sanctions. nonetheless, an important step as it says. and as i said before, i think it symbolically important to give a degree of confidence in the new administration from, from the us. it's also important to ease the trading relationship with its immediate neighbors, particularly jordan, and on the turkish folder. they have been circumventing the sanctions for years now . and i don't think it's going to make any huge difference that i'm human services continues to flow from turkey into syria. but jordan, the trade between jordan and syria is dropped from around 600000000 a year back in 2010 to less than 60000000 this year. and jordan economically is in
12:05 pm
need of city as much as 3 guys in need of jordan of this moment. the number of challenges they share, starting with the refugees, is almost a 1000000 city in, in, in jordan. this is a big issue. there is the issue all for smuggling particular drugs. they kept to go on a problem that is between between the 2 countries and there are opportunities. jordan feels that they can export media solutions to energy crisis and syria. they can supply them with electricity. the network is almost there is a bit of investment to complete it and they've had a jones that needs water, which is very important, which is from syria, fully services a crucial on. and this is exactly what they'll be talking about. yeah, right now presumably of with this high level searing delegation in georgia. yes, and i think of course your will be seeking a short says that this is not a regime that is looking to explore the political as um beyond its boundaries that
12:06 pm
to jordan should not for you. i'm listening brotherhood, which is always an issue within, within the kingdom, and that the syrians will take a very clear position not to interfere into the internal affairs of neighboring countries. and so he's not part of the issues that they will be discussing it now with the sanctions that there are 2 distinct bronx just to the sanctions are there, there is only assigned regime which is are gone, but they still apply. and those on h t. s. themselves who are, you know, have in dublin, they've not their site version of sanctions have not really gone entirely. they've been east, elizabeth, a members of these that regime has gone up with this other guy who has gotten yes, but not the sanctions haven't already disappeared. and natalie, you have a sense of sanctions that you more complicated because those are related to the listing as a terrorist organization. and they're both edged us as an organization. and individuals within it, including its leader, is listed as a within the u. n. sanction this. now where it's just becoming less important
12:07 pm
because in a sense he's moving to become the government of syria and they're trying to limit its presence and even its appearance the so at the very beginning the flag was, has featured. now it's been weeks without referring to the side and so on. for the individuals that remain an issue and they have to be addressed. some like the minister of foreign affairs, a shaped body is not listed and he's allowed to travel, but others are still listed right. and he's traveling as a right now meeting his daddy and kind of thought that you to hold a press conference in itself. and so will close to that just as soon as that starts from the time being. thanks very much indeed. so can mark out here as well, julia as well international flights to and from damascus resuming for the 1st time since the i've been through a bus routes that last month kind of roadways. one of the major international headlines now flying to this tier and capitol. it's light from the heart set to land in damascus. pretty soon international, a plains have already been arriving,
