6:01 pm
ministers, we just visited, damascus or a set. the old talks with the us secretary of state on serious future and a desperate fight to put out wild fires in the los angeles area. 5 people are dead and thousands of homes have been destroyed. and on piece of same story of sports news, the oklahoma city fund is 15 game winning streak comes to an end. they've been beaten by the cleveland cavaliers in a meeting between the n b a's tough suit. see the so live it on a has a new president after 2 years without a head of state, the parliament voted to elect the army chief, joseph owen. at a 2nd round, a votes just a few hours ago, your zip island and with that one, you know, boats the when the office it was the 13th time,
6:02 pm
the m. p. 's voted limit on has been without a president since a michelle owens term. no relation ended in october 2022 as the special utilization of a states festival invested in the army in order to control the borders. and in order to have our own boldest from the north to the south, and i will see borders, we will keep the integrity of the lebanese territory. we will enforce international resolution. we will respect patrice agreements. we will prevent is really aggressions on the lebanese territories. i will ami will have a doctrine for it. let's be thousands years in a holder and be rude. zayna. i'm going to repeat one thing that shows that phone is unrelated to living on the previous presidents, michelle, out with that said, who is shows i phone lebanon's new president. well, he was the 11 on army commander and he's a man who's promising a new 11. he is
6:03 pm
a man who is promising everything that is wrong in this country. in this space. he's promising to build a function of functional stage. he's talking about carrying out reforms, a judiciary reforms to stop political interference and the judiciary. no in unity that no politician would be above the law is promising to deal with the economic crisis with poverty and most controversial pause. he is promising that this will only be the states who will carry weapons in the country and reference to has by laws are settled, so daunting challenges ahead. he will not be the 1st man or politician if you like to make such promises apart from the most controversial, one being has follows the farms. so this is a man who is backed by the international committee. not long after when he was
6:04 pm
elected, we have the saudi king, the saudi prince says, rationalizing him, saudi arabia is a country which has not engaged with 11 on in years because of the, or what they perceived as a bronze consoles, over the states. we have to us some basset or say that she is happy. so he is a man who has international support. he also has popular support among the people because he leads an institution which is respected by the lebanese and considered a new trucks. but no doubt, he is up against a lot of challenges. this is a country where the political class is deeply entrenched and a political class where has a lot of the, you know, it's, it's not going to give up. it's howard cecily. they are stronger than the state. so a new president, it's been a long road to reach where we are today, is making big promises not deliver. the end of the country was paralyzed for 2 years. unable to elect the president, then now they just have what changed?
6:05 pm
the a lot has changed the last time there was an electoral session was 19 months ago. months the balance of power has changed, as well as war on has the last week in the group militarily. the group also lost its outline in neighboring syria with the front of the office. so the count 11 on has been weekends. has the law was accused of blocking the election of the presidential candidates for 2 years? it's candidates went through yesterday and threw his weight behind. oh no, that's what i wanted to send the message today. they didn't give their buckets around during the 1st round, the voting during the a when the session was a journey, they messed him separately and then they voted for him. and the 2nd round, what they wanted to say was that even though we can't impose our candidates, you cannot ignore us, but joseph own and his speech. his 1st speech, the parliament did say that there can not anyone who feels defeated in this country because of the deep, sectarian and political divides,
6:06 pm
no community. a cl should feel left out or feel defeated, or else there will be no social peace. so now he needs to united the country, he needs to carry out reforms as a long road ahead. but there seems to be a new era and the international communities has shown interest in the selection of they are saying that without the reform minded president, there will be no money for reconstruction. but at the same time, the international community sees this as an opportunity to, to we can a bronze influence in this country. zayna you told us earlier that the new president said only the state, only the army will carry weapons. you also told us what that means, that means essentially disarming, has below. nobody's been able to do that. is that feasible? or is that something that just sounds good when you've just been voted into office on day one? of the?
6:07 pm
well, it's a very different level on today. we have to remember there is a ceasefire agreement between husband on israel and in the you know, there's mention of un resolutions. 17011659. which means that the space is the only actor which will have lessons in the country and the army is now task with doing just stuff, but the army is supported by the international community. united states is needing the committee in charge of monitoring staff ceasefire. what we understand from talking to some members of parliament today is that a lot of pressure really was put on on, on all the different camps and 11 on up in some of them even told us that one of the conditions is that, you know, agreed to joseph out or else is rough with stay in the country. i mean there is the ceasefire agreement which does call for this army hezbollah. whether or not the army do that. we have to wait and see, but i can tell you this is a very,
6:08 pm
very different isn't enforcement mechanism on the ground, which is supported by the international community. and that's a hold of reporting live from the 11 east capital bay road. thank you very much. just go straight to alone. leo alone is a former director general of israel's foreign ministry. you are joining us from tel aviv alone. your thoughts on joe's that phone becoming the new president of living on your neighbor. this is a navaros page. it was very comprehensive, very presidential and so i'll say good news to lee and our region these, this somewhat deals up to 50 miles of ongoing blending and several issues. they were extremely bothered. i heard of the democracy. that level will be a democracy. and of course i heard the no, eh,
6:09 pm
no one besides the country may carry weapons. this is a homeowner interest of use where you live. i'm and the new president, and i'm sure it is. when we do, it's best to make sure that this is about an hour north carry weather. so if the police army cannot deliberate, i think is likely to be involved in a year. and the fact that the national community, especially western countries, are welcoming is open. the middle of june, it is a doing the when, when he's found lying around the country, especially the south, it was nobody to talk with. but now he's the only goals, so it will close the great there. there isn't possibly even monday speaking directly to the police government. and so it's great. it's
6:10 pm
a lot of folks here at the home and these various will street greenville piece encourage. how does is real. you said israel will be a partner. okay. those are your words. israel and living on are technically still it was how you were in israel's foreign ministry. how, what is real begin to reach out to, you know, start building more of a report with the new lebanese president, or would that not happen at this stage? so 1st of all, it's already happening and we have the, i think is the last, we use the dialogue. we live in no way the government will, driven on, on energy issues mediated by the americans. it gives us the we do not to just get stealing over the issues to the really equally grow that the companies and government deliveries only are getting all of the country. so i think i think it can go,
6:11 pm
especially i don't know enough about this. new trauma restriction is thinking about planning, develop levano, but it's only natural that the mediation that was started by the end, the steam, especially, i'm also saying we're going to do do a band here, especially one way is silly a tool that is speaking very softly about the relations with each row, they said these are, they all sees, right? and then we also have a say b, s. so what the options, why the level of the so they probably let me use brand new options. how long should it should israel speed up? it's effective withdrawal withdrawal of israeli troops from 711 on as i mean
6:12 pm
perhaps to strengthen the new incoming lebanese prime minister or you know, just so a very good the idea. and he said, well, just 0 days, very government. they might pick it up the week to slow because a, the only student focus office about 5 to 7 days a. we already said it will be slower than the 60 days that we have class. but now we've been, you will stop being elected as president and what then you are pursuing level. i think this is one of the passivity is that is what i would say. we try to meet that deadline, but the issue between now and 11 is only oh and the even if it's in the beginning is when we get those. but i do get the idea alone.
6:13 pm
you know, former director general, my other daughter was rescued from under the rubble of the un. has warned a lack of fuel threatens to shut down more hospitals and gaza, placing the lives of patients in newborns as quote, grave risk doctors and being forced to choose who to prioritize caring for very tough for us to decide amongst wounded people in pain who deserve the medical service 1st, according to the severity of injuries. also we've seen very difficult and heart breaking situation. for example, at al shift uh i receive 2 wounded little brothers who lost their entire family. i was treating them and trying to play the role of father for them and almost killed because of their situation that will continue forever without their biological parents and siblings. a tie, a couple of them is in darrow, by line. central guys are reporting live tare, what can you tell us about the fuel shortage and the situation of hospitals in the
6:14 pm
gaza strip? well what we understand through that is the, is that the lack, colby q, a, chris old hospitals, the us to valley functional as excessive painted. redid dalia medical crisis course cause a due to be systematic, polluting of fuel tank is by criminal gangs and by people. so the ongoing is very restrictive matches on the delivery of the not amounts of if you were to provide hospitals with such amounts to continue providing much saving medical services. but what we understand them, we have been told by men to come teams and most of our customers hold on even in the european hospital. this task is elective surgeries, have been tom sold, the even the uh is essential and critical. the emergency operations delay due to the lack of a pallet. and on top of that, that diagnostic tools like the x ray machine, see these cards have been completely unusable due to the absence of
6:15 pm
a central amounts of if you guys is health ministry said that they have received a very limited amount of if you will, that could be only enough for 24 hours, and that will ends at 5 the beginning call said morning, which means that the crisis will escalates again. and we'll put the lives of lots of patients on the line as well. because that hospital, functional occurs to strip are grappling to continue providing essential medical services under the compensation of twinkling resources. and the repeated depletion of the pharmaceutical warehouse is now the crisis is compounded by the lack of fuel . you have a being quoting the international community and o humanitarian organization, along with the east, by the government, to a law from new school to reach the gaza strip box the uh, the uh, the, the mix of on staples a secure to conditions along side with the is rarely deliberate vinyl visa fuel
6:16 pm
tank has to get a to quickly to the gaza strip. is worsening the crisis state and the out what doctors hospitals are depending but right now a solar panels that come up for the hospital with enough electricity to operate in full capacity. targeted with whom reporting live from inside the gaza strip. sorry, thank you very much. i the battle is between turkish backed groups and kurdish lead fighters and syria reports and we killed at least 37 people. independent war monitors say that there's been intense fighting in the northern region of mondays. the tortures backs groups have been trying to push the kurdish lead fighters out of my business since the as not receiving was ousted last month. for key is threatened to launch a military operation in the region saying that it will not allow the credit groups
6:17 pm
which should classify as terrorist to maintain a presence in civil andrew, a sector of state density blinking will meet the foreign ministers of the u. k. france, germany and italy in rome on thursday to discuss serious future or diplomatic edits of james bass has more on this from damascus. a new flag and a new hope for the future. but while the international community is showing a willingness to engage with a new syria, it's not yet in pricing for german and french foreign ministers last week, the highest level visitors to damascus since the full of the sides, families, brutal room for the new administration. perhaps the biggest issue on the table is the lifting of the punishing sanctions which significantly depressed the economy affecting the lives of every city west. the leaders believe they can follow the diplomacy a form, a syrian piece of negotiate to says the international community is right to use its implants, to keep things on a democratic pause,
6:18 pm
but they must be careful not to hurt the syrian people in the process. i know they're doing that catalog and stick approach, which is fine. but i don't think they can compare us with other countries. celia is very suspicion countries back in 2015. that was a un security council resolution code 2264. it seems a long time ago. why is that in your view still important? it's very important because the city give please, we need to keep protect the constitution. the election, the doors, they should, the government. but this is important for the cd piece of fights is still on the streets of the capital, but that has been a month of relative stability income. the terms formation of this country in such a short period of time has been amazing. but there is still great challenges ahead, and they're only going to be solved with patient detailed,
6:19 pm
and very difficult negotiations. yes, with the international community. but most importantly, among the syrians themselves, james base, which is era, damascus, and james's life from damascus with us. now, james, this, there's something that you really outlined in your report there. that's really interesting. it's the all, most competing aims, right. of western countries in particular, they want to maintain leverage over syria. they have the sanctions, but they also want to help. i think it's fair to say want to help syria at this juncture. so how do they square that circle? i think this is the problem and these are the differences. the differences are on st. john's and on the timeline to democracy. now an important meeting is happening in just 2 hours time in rome. the us secretary of state is on a toy he's ended up ending that tool in rome, and he's called
6:20 pm
a meeting of what's known as the quint. that's diplomatic jargon. that's the us, the u. k frogs, germany, initially i'm the you are coming along to, they're trying to have a united western position on the timeline. they want to stick. i think to that resolution 2254 in the security council, even though it's back from 2015 and some of these out of date because they're a little bit worried if they put another resolution through the security council. would they get in through well with russia, vito 8 so that i think going to come up with a general license in the us treasury which is lifted. some of them to us. you monitor. and pups is us sanctions for the, for the next 6 months of the, of the western countries could, europe in countries could lift that best sanctions to it's worth remembering that the us sanction some of them are work called secondary sanctions. that they don't just sanctions on the full, the regime, which is still in place on the country of syria that on any of the country that
6:21 pm
does trade with syria. so they all pretty far reaching out to james bass importing life from damascus. thank you very much. james, marco, which is, you know, is a global strategy advisor. he joins us from new york. marco is good to have you with us. we, we discussed the role of the western countries in serious future with our diplomatic editor, outside of western countries, outside of western europe. in the us, what are the countries, especially in the middle east, that will matter most to serious future a. let's say obviously a turkey which shares the $900.00 over 900 kilometers border which syria, they can be the big names. so it appears to be the biggest winner of the current situation, but everything depends if things don't go well in syria. turkey will play the highest price. you'll also saudi arabia, in terms of the financial aid, and also in terms of energy, very much important. and then also you have, you know, other countries, i would say you got the very, very central role,
6:22 pm
the primarily countries of the gulf. you know, it's a turkey in terms of the region around to and then obviously you have the external players, the west and country is what the sanctions and the influence they have with the international financial institutions such as the i am after world bank. and then there's also some of the question would be, is what role, where the east and east asians play? what kind of countries like korea, south korea, japan, china, and that's much more subject to the bait. many of these global powers in the middle east. the core of their interest. why in the gulf countries where the energy energy producing country starting rate, the u a got the and the, the key thing is that what interest do they haven't syria and i think primarily, sir, it's the security issue for many of the external powers to prevent, to make sure there's a stable c area and there's not spill over of security threats into the region and beyond. all that is exactly what i wanted to ask you. what do they want, what is their interest? i think if we go from the top of list 1st country, you mentioned turkey a, it's pretty transparent, right?
6:23 pm
they want to contain or eliminate in what is in their view, a threat from crush arm groups along their border. and they have said that if syria and the new administration doesn't help them get there, they will launch a military offensive themselves. so let's just leave turkey and the question, i think we have the answers on that for the moment. you said sally, a guitar as far as the region is concerned or important their interest or security, you said, how do they get that? maybe just one element on the track is she should also a 3 year press, the cheese. that's a very, it's not just a courtesy issue, but it's also a 3000000 refugees. that's proven a liability for the really not party. now if we move to the, for the region is in saudi shouting, yes, much of it is, is, is a security. and then also for salary and particularly the golf is also the drug trafficking issue, such as the trade of coffee gone, which taking its toll in the gulf region. and also there's a, an element in terms of influence, things that can come out of here. many of the gulf states, but primarily saudi in you a,
6:24 pm
i've had the best differences historically with islam, this movement that they seen as an existential threat to the market. and as a result, they want to make sure that serial will not become a base for rec, supporting that type of ideology to the gulf region and beyond. so yeah, so how will the story back? because when you know, going back to the days, not that long ago, when russia and iran wanted influence in syria, how they achieve that was by putting boots on the ground. i don't think saudi is going to do that. there's no talk at that. how the saudi, since you mentioned this out in the u. a, how do they achieve, you know, how do they advance for their, their interest, a economic leverage. remember, iran is now gone. it's largely gone from here, particularly as an energy source and in see really desperately need energy and the saudi can play a very, very important role in that. so this is a degree of dash, this is a pragmatism in political reality. yes. the saudis accept the fact that the
6:25 pm
h t less i live government is, is on the ground. it's in power and it's a reality. but at the same time, they want to make sure that any leverage that they have can be used to makes to guarantee their interest. once again, it's a security issue. exporting of you know, types of ideology that they don't find that they find a threat to them. to their you know, to their existence. and also the fact is that syria, the stability in syria is, is not just about the immediate region. it's beyond you have the siding relationship with the us, which is a key role. so you've got diplomatic relations that go beyond just the bi lateral sounding c relations a you, a savvy to regulations. so this is a complex game. it's not just about what's happening in serial long. it's about its impact in the region and relations and ties with powers that go beyond get core impacted by what's happening and then also lack of interest within. once it, we go back to the us factor. but us fact that having 2000 troops and eastern syria, their main concern is, is preventing and researching a vice or forces. so this is
6:26 pm
a complex geo political game that goes beyond just see around the region mark of engine 0 global strategy advisor. thank you for joining us on the news. our thank you. a serious national museum has officially reopened after it was closed last month when the sad regime was toppled. activists are calling on the new administration to ensure the countries cultural heritage is preserved and prevent any looting and other museums in syria. i'm a 100 reports from damascus. a lot of them on for cdn, a to slack side us from the reopening of the nation's oldest and largest museum is a welcome relief from was having help us sort of exhibition when it was close last month. well, this is the present, syria for me, and is the single everything in syria and it's a place very, very close to my heart. see the national museum just now will come and visit us
