6:08 pm
particularly the western countries because they want to push this country towards democracy and they're all going to be tensions about the shape of the government. the new constitution when there are elections, if the elections, eva, these don't think these are all very difficult issues to calm, but i have to say no one's really thinking about that. yeah, they are still they, they live cells in the. 1 celebration of, of the end of this uh there. uh and that sent me the mood particularly on this day one month. exactly. off the, a bunch of a side runaway as it is army description. james, thank you very much. i have to say it's so striking and compelling to listen to you from this concert venue will come to you a little later. uh i, i understand it might get loud, but we'll find a way to talk to you anyway. james, thank you very much. sylvia has seen swift development since the fall of this

6:10 pm
self quoting guns. and this was the legal a month ago. but this is a new city and joseph is seizing the moment. the has been the head i chose to do this work because it's comfortable and it was never possible before i do it to provide for my family. the central bank used to fix the exchange rate, depending on what a sad redeem wanted. on security forces fruitless. the impulse to know but things of change. now the state is set up the city a central bank in the month. no one would have imagined united simple sentences of most of the other professions during the shot. so the baby have any banking experience, but that hasn't stopped them from taking on establish financial institutions or a lot of them and a lot of work is going well. there are plenty of customers. there is fierce
6:11 pm
competition, but we are able to make enough income to survive. there's no shortage of customers . with strong competition or problem, we need them. it's not easy to navigate in the, in the past we would exchange money in the black market, but now it's available everywhere on the streets. there is more freedom in exchanging phone courtesies like to the dollar. i'm to euro, unlike bangs, the tree disappeared. no, texas, an answer to no one. and the one that to continue. how does that data damascus to sit down and have to head as a senior fellow for the serial project at the atlanta council? you're joining us from istanbul. good to talk to you against a non, how's been you it ministration doing in your eyes and your assessment one month on? well, the new administration is still trying to figure out how to run the state. and it was pretty much successful running it live, which was
6:12 pm
a small government in comparison to the rest of the country. they have the have spend a lot of time trying to understand the ins and outs of the government. they have a pointed me, plenty of new people at high, hey, the key of different the crowds. i know they are opening up also to the rest of the season, the city and communities. and i believe that within the time constraints and with the, with the, with how things turned out. david doing a very decent job. and they are sending the right messages. they are trying to include all syrians and decision making. and now the biggest challenge is how to make sure that they keep doing what they doing uh on the cost of space or base. and. busy the most pressing issues in terms of services,
6:13 pm
people have forgotten about assets, and now they're looking at getting their lives better. what surprised you so far? sorry. what has surprised you so far in the last month as well? uh, the resilience of the scene and people, i mean, uh, besides the 1st week where everyone was happy or celebrating, and it was of normal just a few days after people were back to their normal lives as the shuttle service has lived. the country for 2 years ago, and this has been, you know, it was quite mind blowing. how quickly people, the adapted and the created new businesses create a new ways of getting by. and the 2nd thing i would say is how well discipline everyone is an issue that the new government has still
6:14 pm
has a lot of vacancies in terms of security in terms of a company controlling the masses. but everyone is disciplined. there is a drop and in criminal acts there is no uh, wide range of prevents against the people from the regime or the loyalist. and that everyone seems focused on how to make this work and how to make this new expedient succeeds in one month. and what are your thoughts on ahmed officer? are the leader of this new syrian administration. he's. he's promised a new constitution, a unified army, a country that protects minorities elections. that's all him. um, i mean, i just said uh is uh is coming uh under the light tooth he was about how much is
6:15 pm
your land is just a month ago and uh, and endorsing the, the personality off a national leader to that rather than the leader of a small group that was fighting for their lives just a few years back and uh, within this new port. sure. uh he has done something that he wasn't able to do before, which is meeting with the star key. there's meeting with the leaders in the leaders meeting with the world, and he seems to have a very clear idea of what he wants to achieve. he's in tune with the cedar know for lucian demands. and it, even though he needs patience, he hasn't asked for it. he knows that the seat and people would judge him on is the results. and given all the pressure he's under, i think he's doing
6:16 pm

6:22 pm
building wave, a drone messiah with just a sort of slight warning for civilians to evacuate the area. and they have told us that it has been leveled to the ground. and one of the latest attacks that but also one of the confirmed reports that we thought from eye witnesses in the goals and cities suggested the injury of full communication. what? cuz who was watching on maintaining the internet lines in gaza city as part of the west. and usually these companies corporate with because many, many trend to provide them with deploy you, uh, information about the position and even the routes that they will take. and what you do is touch meant to this. so apparently, since don't today, as we have been told by many coast officials, at least 44 post the new spark, your, of course, the gaza strip. i'm in no laptop mill it to a break. as we understand in the north of district, with vast majority of quoted towns and villages have been wide, took the map us. they have tend to be covet ghost towns that are no longer
6:23 pm
inhabitants. a topic must or hospital which is in the southern part of the gaza strip said earlier today that they would have to shut down around 5 pm local, which is now due to a lack of fuel. what do you know? well, what we have been a really getting from garza's health ministry that the managed to receive a very limited amount of acute within the during the past few hours, which is the only enough for one day for operations, a 1st floor hospital start off, barely functionals and refrained from areas and also in the south of the district, but we understand that earlier today they were forced to shut down all sorts of non critical medical apartments on vacation. try to keep providing electricity only for the intensive care unit due to the very correct shortage of the q a or hospitals across the trip. ah, depending basically on if you, due to the,
6:24 pm
to the realities that are the main electricity supply line from the main read, the no longer exist on the have been using generators that supply critical medical departments and even the machines and equipment such as been to lights is dallas machines and operating rooms with enough click tricity to guarantee that you submitted corporations will continue to be provided for thousands of post videos for us. because i'm a part of the very remarkable and escalating challenges that medical sector has been going through. the lack of medical stuff, the lack of medical supplies, and now the furniture which is all if you will supply so that be holding the national community and the w. i chose to provide them with more amounts of acute, in order to continue their operations on the ground. but what has been given to the entire hospitalized scholars, i could barely enough for a very limited time delay to have the crisis were retentive, escalates again,
6:25 pm
intially with more with momentum tar couple is reporting live from their obama inside the gaza strip star. thank you very much for that. as the is really military has attacked the town in the north of the occupied westbank, killing 3 palestinians, 2 of them children. 5 miners were also among several detained. when is really troops rated to moon is really forces stopped. ambulance crews from getting to the wounded. there has been an increased military presence in the north. let's talk about this without the zeros hummed us out. who would you are joining us? honda from a mountain because the palestinian authority has suspended houses here is occupations . operations beg your pardon in the occupied westbank. tell us more about what happened. didn't come on. well, 3 palestinians were killed and 2 of them actually children, an 8 year old and a 10 year old and a 3rd was a 23 year old palestinian man. they were all killed and, and drowned strike. now these really military acknowledges that they conducted this
6:26 pm
air strike, but they said that they were targeting a sale of fighters, but the locals on the ground, se otherwise. they say that this was a residential area with no fighters present around them. but it's also worth mentioning, but there has been an uptick in these types of raids. so it wasn't just the drone strike on this area. these really military also rated this town within that same time frame, interesting 5 minors. these really military maintains that it's doing this because it's targeting palestinian fighters, but we see common themes of them blocking medical personnel and other emergency workers trying to get to the injured and wounded. and in fact, the official policy. any news agency says that all 3 of those bodies who of the palestinians who were killed, including the 2 children, are still being withheld by these really military hunger after october 7th. all eyes were on gaza, but we reported consistently that at the same time, gaza was happening. the is really military rates across the occupied westbank
6:27 pm
dramatically stepped up 1415 months into this. can you give us an assessment of where we are in the occupied west? thank as well, some analysts are calling this the silent war because while there is this big sort of a tension on gone. so these really military has been reading the occupied west bank quite intensively for the last 15 months. in fact, in a way that hasn't really been seen before, they have had raids on a much larger scale. much larger size is because they say they also want to combat the threat of palestinian fighters. would palestinians across the occupied was bank will tell you, this is just the reality of living life under is really occupation. the military raids, the check points, the constant road closures, the way the military comes into these towns as they come in with bulldozers they tear up the roads, they destroy critical infrastructure, which palestinian c as
6:28 pm
a form of collective punishment. but israel maintains that it's trying to combat the threat of these fighters, but the fighters say that they have a legitimate right to resist the occupation. honda, so reporting from amman, jordan, thank you very much. i'm to the is really military has drafted a group of ultra orthodox jewish men into its ranks for the 1st time until now are ready. drew's has been exempt from compulsory military service, but a supreme court ruling last year deemed them eligible for the draft. there have been protests against this ruling is really military has sent 10000 summons to hardy men since july. the danbury is a former associated press chief editor for europe, africa, and the middle east. he explains the reasons behind this decision is really community used to be heard of a small but because of tremendous birth rates and around 7 children per family or more. they've grown to be about a native israel and the dublin per person every couple of years. every 20 years and,
6:29 pm
and basically currently they account for something approaching a quarter of all potential draft age jewish. and there's been an arrangement. it's just us the founding of the country that if they go into it should have a 7 areas, then they don't have to serve. but it's becoming untenable both because their numbers are growing too much. uh and, and also because of the current conflict that the military needs more soldiers and that fact has been exposed. and the reality where some is really stuck in the reserve is serve up to $200.00 days a year because there was a, in gaza and elsewhere. and that's obviously on sustainable, absurd, you add to this, the fact that this community doesn't participate very much in the labor force that they require essentially a subsidies for most of their life. and for the, for, for the tourist i, it's, it's coming to a head in israel and the political drama is that the right way in israel has never
6:30 pm
had a majority without already political partners. and so they depend on those parties, natania who depends on those parties. so it's a wedge issue with the right m a c international is going on living on not to extradite and egyptian turkish poets to the united arab emirates. abdul romano, colorado. he was detained on the lebanese syrian border after returning from damascus last month. during his visit, he filmed himself criticizing several, our governments, including the you. a lebanon's, caretaker cabinet, approve the murat, the extradition request, and misty warrens. that car, though it could be at risk of human rights violations if he's expedited is at 11 and all the sessions have failed to elect a new president. so more than 2 years, despite 12 attempts, they are set to try again on thursday. but this time efforts to fill the role coincide with a shift in the balance of power, not just 11 on, but across the region, saying a folder has more from the capital. davids howard is being transferred to the army
6:31 pm
in southern lebanon. as his beloved draws from its former stronghold, there is a new reality after, as well as devastating who wore the arms group has been hurt militarily. its opponents at home and abroad appear to want this achievement extended to the political front. the us and boy who brokerage an end to the hostilities visited baby boot days before lebanon's. parliament is set to elect a president. amos hawks then urged politicians to come together. so these are critical times for lab and on to use this time, not just implement disagreement, but to come to political consensus to focus on loving non for 11 these people. the us hasn't named a preferred candidate, but the international community is believe to back the army commander joseph on, on own to also enjoys popular support, was recently in saudi arabia to meet officials. there has the law has been accused of blocking previous efforts to elect the president's not close to its camp. now
6:32 pm
the group says it has no veto on island, but along with its allies hasn't said who it will endorse. no, they need to 1st of or proper a government in order to at least to provide the relief for its own a constituency. those will suffer from this war, as well as war on has been lost in the recent fall of the asset which even syria has re shaped, loved and on and weakened. erupt influence across the region 11 on doesn't have the billions of dollars needed for reconstruction. and the international community was pushed for an election before the ceasefire to cold, has so far refrained from helping lebanon's. politicians have tried and failed to elect the president 12 times since october 2020 to the speaker of parliament and to be. but he says he's confident they'll succeed this time,
6:33 pm
but he also says he opposes any constitutional amendments for candidates who hold high public office, which means the army commander would be disqualified if he doesn't secure. 2 thirds of the vote. lebanon's politicians have met regularly in recent days and held talks was for an invoice from the us, france cutter, saudi arabia, and egypt. there is international pressure to fill the presidency center for their elders. either they don't a, still a head on this else is here a news our will have an update on the wires fires burning out of control in the us . state of california. of those in the los angeles areas are fleeing their homes in support and support. a buzzer bureau from beyond half court secures victory for the atlanta. peter summit will have the details on that in just a moment. the

a senior fellow and the advocate program at the center for strategic and international studies. you also worked for the national security council under the bush administration. it was a while back, but we'll talk about it later. you're joining us now from the washington dc cameron . it's good to have you with us. what do you make of this? and do you think this is going to change anything on the ground to? well, i think it could change things on the ground. um, you know, the, the administration has had this available information. it could have made this decision much longer ago. the acts of genocide that the r as have committed. it started committing him at the, in the very 1st days of this war. and certainly the figure of uh, found on the gullow and that he has been at the center of breaking up the protests of sedans, revolution, of carrying out crews against the transitional government. so he has been sanction level. 1 for many years now, so the fact that they have taken these rather large steps with less than 2 weeks to
6:41 pm
go for this administration, suggest that they are looking back at their legacy and realizing that that it's left wanting. and so that they are doing everything they can now and these in these final days. so i don't think it's going to affect us policy or the us strategy towards today. and such as it is. i do think you could have some longer term effects in the politics of sudan because these are very serious accusations that won't just go away. the accusation of genocide is it is a thoughtful and serious one that will hang around the recess for years to come. and so, as it tries to reinvent itself as a legitimate political force in the country as a map, he tries to reinvent himself as a politician. as a business man, as a diplomat of these will make it harder to do. but again, i think it will be up largely to the truck administration to see how the united states uses these announcements this week to leverage further change in the country
6:42 pm
in the us has been as sense. uh, i believe at least 2 separate uh, invoice to sedan since the war broke out, the civil war broke out. and so then to try the diplomatic track. and it has tried that. it has with the saudis, with the african diplomatic for. and it hasn't worked right, none. none of the diplomacy has worked from the us or from anyone else is this kind of the us maybe raising the white flag saying look, we tried, we weren't able to effect change on the ground. so now we're at least gonna call it genocide as well. again, i think we can question uh just how serious that diplomatic effort was. okay, right. i think if it had been a super serious diplomatic effort, we would have seen these measures taken a year and a half ago. what was the last year and a half? it looked like, had we already declared the r a. so a genocidal organization and had we already declared him at the under us sanctions
6:43 pm
. would he have been receiving all of the outside support that he has received in the last year and a half? i don't know, but it's a worthwhile exercise to think about because it is a measure of how serious this administration has been in its diplomacy to sudan. i would argue that it has been largely performative sending envoys who themselves have very little power to make decisions end to end, to impose penalties on, on the actors in sedan. so i think we have to, you know, revisit the, the entire premise of this to say that i think we have had a kind of half parted diplomatic effort. it's been overtaken by events, other events in the middle east, in europe that have gained, you know, greater priority. we've not seen a lot of personal attention from the secretary of state, none from the president of the united states on this issue. so again, when you look back at the kind of high watermark of us diplomacy from the bush administration, the obama administration, you saw presidents, he saw secretaries of state personally involved in these decisions personally
6:44 pm
involved in the diplomacy. we've not really seen any of that from the by the administration. cameron 20 years ago, the us, it already declared a genocide incident. and it was a get at the time against the judge and we'd militia in dar for state for the killings in the atrocities they were committing against the mass of leads people. and they're essentially saying that the same people are doing the same thing today and 20243 administrations for administrations later. is that on my reading this, right? and if so, give them that you were there within the machine of the us administration in 2004. how do you reflect on that as well? i think it's a, a failure of all of those administrations to pursue this idea of accountability, right? the r s f edits, and it's predecessor that the johns that we have had a kind of uninterrupted rain in sudan for the last 20 years. we have talked, we collectively the international community, the international criminal court,
6:45 pm
the united nations. we've all talked about accountability for the jobs, a weed, and frankly for the, the members of the she, president bush years redeem, including his, his army generals, none of those perpetrators of violence over the past 20 years have truly been held accountable. there's been, there's been one judge, we held accountable so far, but, but that's it. and so, you know, we talk a big game about holding people accountable. and even in yesterday statement by secretary blinking, he talked very much about holding accountable those who have committed these crimes . and i suppose the 1st step is to call the crime what it is, the crime of genocide. but there has been no follow through for 20 years. and up until today, no follow through for what that accountability should look like, who should carry it out and, and who's going to pay for who's going to carry out these investigations. there's really no uh, search for accountability in the country as much as we talk about. and cameron, you said maybe your 1st step is to call the crime what it is,
6:46 pm
genocide. i'm reading here, the state department's statement on genocide determination in sedan. and it explains right, it explains the thinking behind the genocide determination targeting fleeting civilians murdering innocent people escaping conflict, preventing remaining civilians from accessing life saving supplies. we have reported that a lot of that has been carried out by the is really military against the palestinians for the last year. and i know it's not that i'm trying to compare to situations, but i'm wondering, and we know famously to the case of gaza, the us says there is no genocide going on when some of the same facts are happening . i'm wondering what compels the state department or the white house to declare or not declare genocide. so well i, i would say that there's a kind of a d t approach to, to the, the genocide declaration. traditionally, in the state department, one is, you know, fig apartment lawyers have to make
6:47 pm
a legal case the, the, the private, the genocide is a crime. it has the legal definition under the un statute. and so they have to, you know, assess the facts on the ground and make a legal determination whether the, whether the facts and whether the crime is committed, meet the legal definition of what a genocide is. but then there's this other piece which is the political element of this, this is a decision that ultimately rest with the secretary of state. so the lawyers can say, yes, we believe that this crime fits the definition of genocide, but then it is ultimately a political decision by whatever administration is in power to determine whether or not politically using that term and bringing a, you know, bringing this determination. we'll advance a set of practical objectives in terms of us policy or solving a conflict. obviously, i think the delay in calling genocide in sudan has been a function of the fact that they have not use that word with respect to what's going on in, in gaza. and so there is
6:48 pm
a kind of fear of us and prophecy at play here. but i think ultimately what we have seen with these decisions in the last day from the, from the, by the ministration is an effort, i think, to burnish its own credential legacy on sedan as it leaves the case was very clear in sedan um that, that the genocide, it happened and i would just point out the cost the political cost to making the genocide determination in sudan is not nearly what the political cost would be in a place like gaza. and so it was an easier decision to make in sudan. very interesting. cameron had some great to talk to you. thank you for coming on. thank you. are in the northwest of nigeria fighting between the military and criminal groups, has severely affected businesses. agriculture and travel began with confrontations between farmers and capital. harder is more than a decade ago escalated into criminal violence with groups carrying out kidnappings for ransom houses. there was a hint,
