7:02 pm
recover falstaff and the situation will be best estimate. now the sections represent a real obstacle into any possible cooperation or investments being serious, shut off. meanwhile, international flights to and from the syrian capital have resumed, got to it was, is one of the 1st major airlines to restock commercial services then to damascus, since the are the try for shotwell assad. returning syrians were among the 1st passengers to touch down on choose day and then the on the discipline police officer. i live syria and 2012 and didn't over to i cannot describe my happiness. i needed a miracle to return by damascus international airport. and the miracle happens that can look at this joy look at the syrian people, how heavy they are. we celebrated a waiting on the plane from the we was thinking throughout the slide to buddy. what ahead of civil aviation and serious is the main airport, was damaged by the former assad regime. as an sweety, i'm hippo, syria has been isolated from abroad. and as can see today,
7:03 pm
the domestic is international airport has started working at yeah. we're trying to active ex how we have it because of the vandalizing by the former regime, only areas with the regime head of prisons. they tried to destroy it. we would todd in order to be able to build the airport back again. chanel bar is long for us in damascus. how soon is we've been talking about this being a real diplomatic push? can you just explain how critical these tools uh for the people of siri are and, and potentially what the future looks like. it was very important. told for the new administration and for the survey and people for the why to visa is when the, when that's t as to over here at the shop. many took over damascus. people were concerned about what would be the reaction of the t regional players and the international community. and then be so more and more delegations troubling to them, asked us to try to test the waters and see what they can do to help syrians not to give this extremely delicates moments. and then when you saw the minister of quite
7:04 pm
enough, as a father should have added traveling to saudi arabia outside the united autumn. and that is and then to jules and with more about, says use of support. and also messages of a political engagement with the new administration. this comes as a positive news for the people here who are looking forward to see more financial support coming to sylvia. this is a country that has been published by will, and people need more and more international support to be able to move forward. it to them that international supposed to us as beginning, the lifting of some sanctions, the humanitarian exemption for example. but there are growing calls for the risk to be lifted, so to really help the people of syria. this is exactly what people are talking about today. they say that this is a small step, but they are looking forward to see the international community, the amount because in particular, completely in left essentially is that what imposing the time of a shot as they say, we should not be paying the price by mistake, which was made by shot, i said,
7:05 pm
but they do understand that the same time that this is something which is going to depend largely, well, what happens during the national home for those? because the moment it start, this is what you get a sense of the road map planned for the transition and what that we're going to see and inclusive governments. i think those are going to be the guarantees that the moment the international community sees based administration deliberately on those promises to put together that inclusive government. that's when they will have to decide about the future of lifting those sections on syria. if that happens is going to be a huge political victory for the city of people and for this new administration. and i guess that is why are they are pushing so hard for it? thank you so much. asha i some of our for us the in damascus. honda salute has more on the foreign minister is missing from amount in a bilateral meeting between jordan's foreign minister and the foreign minister for syria's new administration. the countries pledged cooperation in a number of sectors,
7:06 pm
specifically when it came to security along the border in order to come back both drugs and weapons smuggling. it's been nearly a month since the lightning advanced by high at the head, a sham in which they took power in syria. but i'm going to stuff with the note of that drugs are still a prevalent issue in jordan. now, serious new administration has been on a regional tour over the last week or so in order to campaign for support to rebuild the country. and men and stuff with the says that jordan will be an ally when it comes to maintaining sovereignty, security and stability for the syrians. but that it's not going to happen overnight . it will become, in the years of honest and transparent dialogue between the nations and other regional allies. now the new administration has also said that us sanctions are one of the main obstacles why syrians cannot rebuild their economy just yet. even in the united states has less than some of those sanctions. they are still not frozen or removed entirely. something the new administration says must be done in order to
7:07 pm
rebuild the central jersey to a man. the name wild is being a backlash out to the new administration in syria, announce changes to the school curriculum and tie a subjects including references to some possibly this have been scrapped. how should the o bar of reports from damascus? this is a score for syria as most talented many have known to attendance 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 freeze la mcqueen? zenobia has also been up on a, along with studies on the origins of lines. templates they've been out of you, they removed some subject on homes and introduced religion. i'm fine with it in the
7:08 pm
sense that will 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 of subjects 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 are. but for the testers here in front of the minister of education, say the new administration doesn't have
7:09 pm
a monday to change the curriculum. they won't that to happen when there is an elected fundament. the temporary government doesn't have a legitimate power to do so to impose changes, especially that's there 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 would be full to review an audio of them. the biggest the, is that the education over hold could road the promise of building an inclusive society that it 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 it,
7:10 pm
senses on site. and then so this a for the new syria, how should, by the 0, damascus, the face be know, laid off, and these ready bombardments of the gaza strip. the military has wrapped up in strong, across this trip in the last week, including on residential buildings. because really, a tags have targeted 3 neighboring cam, so have a nice, at least 3 people from one family had been killed in the strike on the upper east refugee camp and central cancer. the strike hit a residential building. at least a living palestinians had been killed since dawn on choose day. as the head of the winds released, agency says if it's to save lives and cancer are at the breaking point. cheap at homepage, this is randy attacks on i'd work is in the collapse of lauren order and gaza have made a f. it's nearly impossible. the ministry of health and cons,
7:11 pm
that is also warning of a disaster on folding, in the remaining hospitals due to a lack of fuel. and recent satellite images shows a level of destruction and northern gauze a close by these ready military. and these are before and after pictures of one neighborhood, most residential buildings and towns and by noon and by block you have been reduced to rubble. the north of this trip has been on the siege, buys, ready forces for 3 months. from on all of this, we joined now by tower boone, who is in del bowler and central gaza for us. and jerry, from what we've been seeing and talking about is really military. they've really stepped up to the intensity of its attacks. can you just bring us up to date with the, the lights it strikes from today? yes, these really mandatory is just an vomiting of attacks, of course, because i was the past the 24 hours with incredibly very overwhelmed with clustering strikes on residential homes on civilly and gatherings. one of the latest has killed 5 civilians in the,
7:12 pm
at the fast neighborhoods and the eastern corners of guys, a city that has been a percentage of the race since the confrontations and battles are taking place. but when palestinian groups and the is very occupation forces, we also still getting reports coming from northern gauze, or suggests the continuation of fighting and public tre. tional. peroration 5 is by the military wisdom stone. today, at least 14 palestinian sprague killed the due to the east valley repeated attacks on guns. i thought what's important to note which is that the satellite images have shown the destruction of whites the bread devastation took place in old board it towns and villages that are located in the far north of district, including a tunnel into valley and big la, here town where the destruction and even the oppressed sense of as well as military vehicles and those points out to be expensive. so those think operations that are

7:14 pm
a very say the multidimensional promotions. and that was quite obvious during the it's very repeated attacks on humanitarian organizations, including the wsp, the owner. why did the root central kitchen alongside with the ongoing, the rising great. so the criminal gangs hijacking calls or if you turn, cuz that have been delivered up to the gaza strip, specially for those humanitarian organizations which led to a to let the entire crisis escalating the in the alpha. if we put that into perspective, we kinda understand that these values at repeated behaviors regarding the deliberate targeting and the nation of security figures and even law enforcement forces that have been formulated in garza, in order to protect humanitarian a comb, voice have led to the search of these criminal games and a to commit such thoughtful attacks and hijacking corporations without even being targeted by the it's been a mandatory as always thanks so much tara kit. erica bozer. in for us today with

7:25 pm
bypassing formal extradition pro procedures. he's well known and critic if you can't is presidents. you where he must have a name and his unsuccessfully cellist and for the presidency, 4 times the social media platforms, facebook, instagram, and threads dropping the fact checking system in the us. parent company method. it says it's used as will now be mocking post is potentially misleading similar to the system of community nights used on x major c. i'm not exactly big. so is the science to reduce it to ship online? since bank check is can be biased. well for more on this that's bringing now. whitehouse corresponding, kimberly, how could it, kimberly, this is we've been talking that has been quite a major shift for me. so can you explain why now? because it's really can't be a coincidence that this is happening is donald trump is set to take office. you know, a lot of this has to do with the kind of the shifting winds in politics in the united states. there was
7:26 pm
a resounding shift when it comes to the recent us selection and the social media companies are recognizing that and it has a lot to do with the advertising dollars that are tied to that and they don't want to miss out. so we've seen a lot of the social media heads trying to curry favor with the president elect donald trump making trips tomorrow. lago mark zuckerberg is one of them. he's donated a $1000000.00 to donald trump's an all girl festivities. and we've also seen you on mass practically joined at the hip with the president elect. so what we know is that this has a lot to do with that, but it also has to do with the fact that donald trump, as they're currying favor, has been very vocal about what he sees as bias in terms of the fact checking that is going on, on social media, he believes that it has been slanted,
7:27 pm
in favor of democrats and against republicans. the pressure professional fact checkers, if you will, have been in some times have been the, you know, of in spreading mr. well, they've been try to counter misinformation. what they is he believes have been doing is really spreading partisan information. and so that's what they're trying to do is kind of balance things politically. what exactly is made of trying to achieve with these changes and what potential full out could there be for uses as well. what they're trying to do is, uh and it's, there is dated back this up. essentially what they're trying to do is to make sure that when it comes to the internet, which was designed to be a free exchange of ideas. but. c there is that, that this is going to not have the impact on public health on elections, on public safety, that even a large swats of americans believe that it has occurred in the past. and so they're
7:28 pm
really trying to balance the equation. and so that's what the fall out is expected to be that things will be more neutral, moving forward in the future. what the social media companies are doing is that they're going to be having community based fact checking that, that anyone sort of similar to with a period will be able to weigh in. and so what the data seems to show is that this is ultimately more accurate. thank you so much. kimberly for breaking all of that down for us. complete the white house correspondent venezuela has cots diplomatic relations with paraguay oft. it's presidents, cold venice, white, an opposition lead to it mando gonzalez, the rightful win of july is election. now those results on disputed by the incumbent. president nicholas madura was getting ready to be sworn in on friday. john home and reports from mexico city. that when was marked by accusations a fluid, the united states government, several european governments,
