1:00 pm
sta in your own adventure, now counter airway. the, [000:00:00;00] the hello, this is in use our own alger 0 for the bad people, live in doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes. mo, diplomacy in damascus, italy's horn minutes, the calls for the lifting of sanctions. as a whole stalks with his syrian counterparts is arouse bombardment of guys i shows no sign of ending a new report suggests the death toll could be significantly higher than officially recorded. it is a nightmare. this is just i, it's, this isn't real. you never think it's going to happen to you and then it does rise
1:01 pm
of and same parts of los angeles return home to assess the damage from why fi is that have killed 10 people. also this our over launches a boat hailing service and ending administered cache me, but it's not been smooth sailing for everyone. on joining casual school with the school, just defending champions round the trades set top a spanish super cup final with boss hello. not up to the rushing you. the thank you for joining us. it's elise for administer is in syria to show support for a peaceful transition of power after the fall of bush on a side. and tony had to hi, johnny is visiting after hosting a special meeting with us secretary of state down to me blinking and european foreign ministers in rome on thursday. it was an effort by blinking and representative of the u. k. germany,
1:02 pm
france and italy to align their strategies with serious transition. and during these talks, last night we concentrated on the importance of lifting the sanctions of these sanctions were imposed on the previous regina that's ousted regina, and the sanctions will hit the syrian people. they must be lifted so typically will play a role in this regard. and i think open and structured dialogue in this particular period of time is quite important. so in a look at the design, and i've also been by the way up to him, we need to confirm my commitment to the values and principles that will boost the human rights and seriously every 30 and regardless of the 6 because the law will prevail and citizenship will apply equally to everyone. this is quite important to keep and maintain the stability and sovereignty of syria and will be good of all for the region best bringing out different magazine james space was in damascus for us. so james, how important is,
1:03 pm
is visited by the tanya and foreign minister and what can it achieve for syria? and i think it's important for 2 reasons. i city is on its own quite a big power and it's does a lot of trade with countries and about the training and it is itself a better training country. so that's the easily link with syria which is important . and then that is all. so this meeting that you referred to last night, the diplomatic jargon for this group is the clint. it's uh, 5 countries, the full big power as in europe. so the u. k. fronts, do you have any and it's really on the united states and to the bank in the us. secretary state was in room for this meeting. so in some ways, i think the turning point minnesota was coming representing that grouping, having just hosted that meeting in rome, if he was representing them in public, he was very much the good cop because as you heard that he said he's in favor of lifting the sanctions now whether there was a tough foot message about what's the new administration he needs to do in return
1:04 pm
for lifting those sanctions. it's not one he made in public, but we know that the position of both of those western countries is that they want this country on a democratic pause. and they want so much of foss, the timeline, the plan that's being put forward sofa by the new administration here, which is totally about potentially 4 years or more until the elections in this country. and i think that what is some in civil society here? will that ever be elections? and it was some, it needs the national community. and so that's why some countries want to keep the sanctions really some of the sanctions. and so they have some leverage on the way that yeah, and speaking of leverage, i mean you talk about, it's a being the good comp here, james, what leverage does is we have when it comes to siri as well, as i say this is, it's the least regional, at least that's how easily sees it. he was talking about potential trade opportunities. he was talking particularly about energy and agriculture. he was
1:05 pm
talking about potential study links about how the universe does are going up to syrian students. so those are the sorts of carrots. so they can all fund i think the thing is was telling you the context because buying the seems that may be a few tricky mountains it. so they already have an investor in damascus before the events of a month ago before the fall of the brutal side regime. that's because it's lee was the vanguard of 8 countries in the european union. the actually were in favor of getting better ties with the a side regime. it's a, they already had an investor haven't actually open to the embassy. and so perhaps that old may have a battery going things in may, may, may, may make of in the new administration. think a little bit hard about it's late. but right now, the tale of 4 minutes to coming here with open arms and very much welcoming the new syrian administration, which he said was doing things that were encouraging. and he said they were taking the country in the right direction. james raised diplomatic editor live there in
1:06 pm
damascus. thank you, james. have the syrian interior ministry, meanwhile, says the door is still open for any outside regime. officers, all police who want to settle the status in order to be reintegrated or void legal action. thousands have already turned up as special registry registration centers across the country. i'm just here as mom and vaughn has the story from the city of homes. it's been weeks since this operations thought to and that use on different, i'm sure to. the city of homes has several other sentence and like this one, you know, we're here because we're not part of the former and just regime our job in the past was only in the service of people. and we will be very happy to continue the same under the new administration way. let me get the, it's been with both police officers. she was in the i to department of the homes police. he wasn't the medical service. thousands, mike then say they had safety. the army and police activity or detective
1:07 pm
participated in the war. i've never killed anyone, which is why was wanted having dodged recruitment. and when i applied for a travel document i was apprehended and forced to join the army. being a doctor, i was suppose to do only my medical duty, but i was forced to work as a soldier. i had to pay huge bribes every month to my commander, to allow me to avoid regular service, the gun, the water and number. then we're confused about what to do. know they can reduce to these tensors handling in your arms that belongs to the state and obtain the paper that protects them against any harassment recently because it showed that i did a city, an army was about 270000 strong and the police call up to a 100000. what that is, that is a regular asset. noiseless munitions, with twice osman. especially during the secret go. up to now we're told 30
1:08 pm
thousands police and army officers have registered with these a governor of a to come slow and feel for it is believe, thoughts by the end of this process, the number across city has made each half a 1000000. it's not clear yet, if the next step would be picketing some of these people into the to, to on the list and can, the decision is in damascus, they may or may not be reintegrated due to the, the patriot against them. among the cereal people, people may not accept, they return to the same jobs, especially in the police court because of the amount of crimes and corruption to characterize the months of the former regime. and so. but some a warning against blankets and accumulation, and aust autism, jason is hardly at some fit on the back of the heat. the armies disintegration in this manner can have huge consequences. the officers and soldiers who can benefit the nation should be put to good use. they need jobs and retirement rights. otherwise, where would they go? the new state may face
1:09 pm
a real problem if these people feel they have no future. they may result to extremism in the matter of what happened in the rock. well, we see it in say, the hope that doesn't happen. how much on the homes see? i speak to rob gays penfold about all these developments is electra and international security at the king's college london. and is joining us from london . rob, good to have you with us on al jazeera again, let's start with this process of rehabilitation and re integration of these former assigned police and on the offices. just how complicated do you think it's going to be, especially when you consider those who haven't turned in their weapons, yet how much trouble could they call us to this new administration is very or whether it's incredibly complicated as your reports. it mentioned that is not really the issue of police and military, but all of these irregular games in groups who worked the aside regime or at least on the inside of your teams payroll. many of these people will not be appearing at
1:10 pm
any official documents or registers, so they will be very hard to track down a comb scripts of people who will be quite likely to try and show up to rehabilitate themselves. because many of the didn't even want to fight for the ridge of the i thought it was the most we saw in december of 2020 for one of the reasons why the offensive getting so much grabbed is because many of the complex conscript simply ronda way but there's more hard and finances, and individuals who might have more of a stake and more to lose by turning themselves. the people with blog on that happens, people know for corruption, but also for war crimes. and people with loyalties, or at least some sort of remnant of loyalties to the side regime. for example, we're seeing more organized resistance against aged yes. within syria. as you see this in violence whenever there's a power vacuum. but this is looking increasingly organized and coordinated at the very complex bushes. for example, people worries h t s uniforms. so there is a clear,
1:11 pm
organized force behind this credit is just not quite obvious who that who that 4th is at this stage. right. and another potential trouble spot, it would seem rob is in the know us currently we've seen battles between turkish bank groups and kurdish lead forces, which have killed dozens in the northern mine beach province in recent days, a region of mine beach. and this is despite the us saying that it's working to address turkeys concerns and establish a to stay and what are the likely scenarios as far as the situation in northern syria is concerned. turkey we have that threatening of military operation against scottish find is what's likely to happen. well, that's right. so all the ad that's i think the key flash point for future conflict in syria in east and see are you remember that the area is go into? it has been built. and since the stall, the syrians, civil war at via cody, she led through the syrian democratic forces is there on the wings. however, turkey can citizen,
1:12 pm
indistinguishable from the p k case whom they consider and designate a terrorist groups of turkey wants to cut down and maybe even eliminate sds control over the east and syria. now the us has been negotiating, as you say, for truce on the 31st of december, a state department spokesman even said a cease fire was in place. that will be news at to be at. so i just from the, the, the siri national on me, the asset 90 who are fighting each other now the s and a is a rebel group, but it's actually it. so it is proxy revel group designs to find the, the assets that fighting is going on at the moment on their best on a daily basis. right. and, and the us is also saying, i mean, the outgoing defense secretary at least has said that the continued presence of american troops in syria is necessary. and his words to prevent a resurgence of vice. so how is not likely to go down with the new syrian administration as well? remember that they all come at least 3, at least 3 foreign governments occupying pulse is
1:13 pm
a syrian territory. you have these re lease in the south west. you have the totes dokie, a node, and syria on the been you have the us and in east and syria. most of those 2000 us troops in syria, all face in and around the co, these regions kind of acting as human shields to be escalate the situation and you discourage to keep relaxing against it. so turkey has primary priority today is getting the us out of syria convincing president trump to withdrawal from syria, as he placed the duty during his previous to in the office. the problem was that went wrong button from the pronouncement announcement that he was going to leave serious and cause such a backlash from washington. they was forced to run by those remarks in turkey, then has to deescalate the situation. is that even if the company is committed to leaving serious, that will be much harder than practice, but it must be just been going through a social media post or an announcement. and meanwhile, the diplomacy continues in damascus. we've seen they tied in for administer the
1:14 pm
today this friday. how do you assess this ongoing diplomacy and what's the likelihood of sanctions being lifted? the tires want functions to be lifted is likely to be heated by, by the other countries, the europeans and the americans as well. i think it's important to see uh this uh, visit by the time in 4 minutes. but as part of the product continue, all of h d s. and the new searing governments diplomatic offensive. it has been a remarkably successful diplomatic offensive. we've had the, the economy and the code on the dash. the americans have sent people over before the french germans u k. amongst and there's other regional powers as well, like jordan, for example, saudi arabia i, i'm kept to so you will be given full for getting the aged yes is still designated as a terrorist organization by most western powers. and indeed the un security council for them. well, i think that trying to do here is to reach out to as many foreign governments as possible to increase that leverage,
1:15 pm
the more people they have interested in the reconstruction of syria, the more pressure that he can exit, the new syrian government can exist against countries who have sanctions in place to say, look, we know that you want guarantees. we know you want conditional sanctions relief. we are moving ahead with serious reconstruction with dog just because we have to say when people need a sense of normalcy, of if you're not going to provide us with a someone else will. so it's very, very impressive waste. yes, it's nice to do in a month alone, right. but it has many diplomatic engagements at the top of funded in 6 months. thank you. rob. always good to get your inside, rob, gasp, info from kings college london. thank you for your time. i. it's a lebanese media is reporting is really showing in the south of the country artillery explosions. and gunfire has been reported in i to our shop just across the board or from israel. this would be yet another violation of a sci fi agreement reached at the end of november. israel is suppose to withdraw its troops within 60 days.
1:16 pm
the rescue efforts underway after news really striking a home in hon. eunice in southern gaza. paramedics rushed to the house, which has been partially reduced to rubble, civil defense team say one person was killed and another 3 seriously injured. have been taken to hospital for treatment. in northern gaza, smoke is rising above the suburbs, reduced to rubble. sincerely on thursday is really forces have been bulldozing, demolishing, and burning dozens of palestinian homes. you need your body a refugee camp, gun fire and intensive artillery fire, where reported me out of hospital is really ami. reinforcements have arrived in the area which has been under siege. sincerely october. i have a number of palestinians killed in his rascal on guys. i could be significantly higher than the health industries official death toll and medical journal lines.
1:17 pm
the lines that has released the study that takes into account bodies identified in hospitals or more social media, obituaries, and responses from an online survey. the research estimates the actual death toll from the 1st 9 months of his rouse attacks is 41 percent higher and the official number recorded on june 30th. the guy is a health ministry reported the death total of $38000.00. the study suggest it was likely closer to $64000.00 at the time that would represent nearly 3 percent of the pre will population or roughly one in $35.00 people, most of and women, children and the elderly. the total doesn't include desks from a lack of health, gail food, or the thousands of people still missing, believe to be buried under rebel. that's bringing him down who did react, correspondent in their belie central guides, guys. uh, uh and uh, the health ministry has released the latest desktop, but the official total,
1:18 pm
of course, a much, much higher as we've been say. how difficult is it to get a clear number and gosh, to it's very difficult because there's a couple of things we need to know. for the rescue teams and civil defense themes are unable to reach every single place that has been targeted. there are thousands of palestinians still trapped under the rubble, and these people have been at either reported by their families or their beloved ones. but we're also talking about more than $1600.00 families that have been completely wiped out. not only that, we're also talking about a please, 11000 palestinian missing. we do not know if they're trapped under their above. if they were killed and no one would was able to reach them or if they were arrested or could not buy at that is ready forces. now another thing we need to know, and this is something that we knew after talking with civil defense teams and rescue teams. that when there's more than one target in different areas,
1:19 pm
civil defense teams are unable to go to most of these houses because they are very low on capacity. there's a very limited number of vehicles and they are unable to reach all of these houses . another thing civil defense teams told us that sometimes they only get to rescue the people that are on the surface of the bombed house. and there are unable to dig deeper because they do not know a do not have the equipment and tools to retrieve the bodies of those truck under the rubber. now it's not only that there's another fact that palestinians are dying due to monitors and they're dying due to the lack of have scare their dying due to mild nutrition. and there's a lot of other factors where policy and use are also losing their lives. also the fact that there has been no medical care or health care system is collapsing. a lot of how does the news are dying from the wounds they are sustaining?
1:20 pm
so the numbers are accurate. we don't not know if we will ever have an accurate number because we're talking about more than 14 months. now if policy news are still trapped under the rub of their bodies are not a do not exist anymore. and this is why most of the palestinians are telling us i still did not very my, my children. i still don't know where my children are. and most of the policies in the north for example, we do not know or we are unable to reach the number of people who have been killed in the past a 2 days where the noise of the gaza strip has been under siege. and also there has been no rescue teams, no ambulances, and also no hospitals, where there are a lot of products in use. the are saying that people are dying, leasing to death on the streets of your body. so the situation is way then we ever imagine. mm. hm, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's
1:21 pm
a big boss. same thing and it's also exhausting to even think about how many policy needs have been killed in those uh 14 months and thank you so much for that. 10 dollar hold or a line for a say in dab, alas, central gaza is really government has officially identified the body of a captive found in guys. it says the military recovered the body of 22 year old hands as the id from a tunnel in the southern city of ruffled. earlier this week, the body of his father uses the i me was found in the same tunnel announcement. kansas talks are underway. indo how to reach a sci fi deal that will include the release of some of the remaining captives. let's speak to tom, a comm mode about these latest development fitness, or as well on guys. time here is associate professor of public policy at the doha institute for graduate studies. thank you for being with us a time. and let's start with the this desk told which according to the line said, is significantly higher than the official numbers of, uh,
1:22 pm
guides us health ministry. quite shocking to think that they could be many more people that i been accounted for. do you think the fact that this is coming from a re biddable journal western journal is going to resonate perhaps a bit more with the west and meters when finally we hope so. i mean, the yes, i mean, the fact that it is the lancet and the fact that the methodology in this, in this study is very rigorous and solid. i mean, it's a, it's, it's sense of pro message. i mean, we have to remember that this has been all sort of and that is an information as well. and these ladies have always been trying to discredit anything coming from the gaza strip. despite the most of it always came that the numbers were blowing out. exactly because this house was different guys. yeah. they still helped me to sit on by how much. but i mean, i mean, most of the most civil servants that also the civil society organizations who am i talking to is ations local ones that collect the data. that effort also use the
1:23 pm
methodology to compare that or the data every posted by the ministry with other sources like the families themselves, will have to put it on missing the family members, etc. so it's, it's really hard to question this, this the study. i mean, and yeah, i mean, the sadly, the oldest and ongoing, i mean i'm, i'm on the sip with us or have, has, has only comes with a one year of the so less than one year. if this works all at once, it stops. i mean, i'm sure, i mean, i mean, sadly, i mean, the reality would be grim and what, when we will learn about mod losses and data a much creamer realities that, that we could be seeing image in the meantime. we have another captive confirmed scaled in, in gaza by these release we have the us president deluxe and boy incoming invoice to the release coming to doha for talks to try and push to a captive deal. what's the likelihood of success this time around? to think of, we know we've been here many,
1:24 pm
many times before where we settle the very optimistic about reaching a deal to release a cap isn't ending ending the war. but i do feel that it's different this summer on i would say cautious optimism, again yes, it's been, it was fission. is out in a very critical stage, especially before the upcoming administration takes over. the trump is came to see a deal. it has to do with his reputation. his image has the, the ticket in for so deep. that's my opinion that i mean the, some of the details and the, the gap, the expectations expectations between the 2 parties of the whites. these are, it is, i'm not talking about the deal that ends the work and withdrawals. these are the ailey school team that goes to what, how mess remains keen on, on preserving these conditions. it plus, it stops at a 6 on message perspective, to engage in the captive deed without at least ensuring that the world would at least settlement. please stop and we're not the least right is i'm not talking
1:25 pm
about this in the media or, and it will fission statements design is about talking about offering some about the tools and then buying more time. and then to zooming the word because these are, you know, as i said, committed to the main goal, which is ending, how much as a building does uh does. it has been loved it diminished right. demolished, right. but how much remains the in some elements, right? not immediately as it used to before, it's not 3 and 15 is what it is. the how do they gauge that? how do they gauge how masses that power is still in the gaza strip the day? that's a very good question, and this relates me to the other topic which, which also needs to be explored more, which was the day after the arrangements. there are some reports that there is a plan, i mean the blinking himself talked about the plan uh, in the making that involves some out of countries. dicking some rules in government because uh uh how much that means they are not empowered. and i think this plan is
1:26 pm
not ready. it means like, you know, like ideas, some concepts, these are the ages are i've looked at beast with it so far the same as themselves. that's and that this conflict gets things is right. of them says do not have a concrete provision of the after 4 of us, right. i don't think this sort of this as well. then we can see a proposal and a comfortable proposal between the 30th and i think everyone is waiting for trump come and power and then how to stay on this night time. i thank you so much. always good to get your thoughts on, on the situation in gaza and be on time a comm mode from the to high is that you to projects studies in the occupied westbank. meanwhile, is really sad. lives have carried out or send a tax in a number of palestinian communities, their local media release. this video settler setting fire to palestinian homes in the town of apple salon. northeast of ramallah and to villages. east of hebron civil defense schools are working to extinguish the place as well as government has expressed support for a major general after he was harassed by

a crowd of ultra orthodox jewish men. the. 6 dozens of men from the orthodox community pursued major general david simeon central israel. he has been leading efforts to enlist the orthodox community into these really military. a group. harold abuse at seni calling him. i can't say neither. well, he is in the us 5 wild fires of spreading rapidly in the county of los angeles. the fastest moving flames have destroyed 10000 homes, businesses, apartment blocks and vehicles. and these 10 people have been confirmed dead for the total is expected to rise as emergency code. so sort of avoidance of charge buildings. new evacuation orders have been issued in the san fernando valley after another fi ignited northwest. so the city of los angeles, within 200000 people have been ordered to leave dangers of stones. california has
1:28 pm
deployed more than a 1405 fighting personnel as well as a national guard. this guy is that filled with big clouds of smoke and ash, prompting air and dust advisory is with 17000000 people across southern california . as we are expecting this fire to rapidly spread due to high winds. this is a reminder that this is a very dynamic situation. that can change quickly, the priority for all angelenos remains stay safe and please follow directions from the public safety officials. when you are told to evacuate, please evacuate. let's take a look at some of the worst affected areas in the science. and as the fire in the pacific palisades remains, the largest and most disruptive in the county's history, it spread across 6000 hector's, the kenneth fi, just north of car by kind of boss is the latest to ignite and it's spreading rapidly and the age. and finally, at pasadena is the deadliest,
1:29 pm
at least 5 of the victims were killed, that the area is in orange and evacuation order is because there is an immediate threat to life. rob reynolds has more from the fire in pacific palisades, but you needed help from above. julia take her place, flew low over the fire, devastated landscape of pacific palisades carrying water scooped up from the pacific to be dumped on the still out of control. fire burning and the hills above . pacific palisades is largely a waste land. now something more resembling a war zone than the affluent neighborhood. it was a few days ago to pass go. busy off the home of 30 years where she raised her family, this fire is not going to take my memories away. i'm keeping my memories. memories are all that many people have left. the coming winds have given firefighters more optimism,
1:30 pm
while major blazes remain on contained. fresh crews are coming in from other states and canada to help weather conditions are beginning to turn favorably, which will allow us to increase our containment lines. while many neighbors came together to help one another, the worst of human nature was also evident. police arrested a number of alleged looters who had been prowling the effective neighborhood. if people choose to commit crimes, they are going to be held accountable. the cost of the ongoing disaster is not yet known, but certain to be immense. president joe biden says the federal government will help pay is going to pay for things like debris and hazard material rules, temporary shoulders. first responders showers and all of the sorry, measures to protect life and property residents of the affected areas have been
