emissions mean control, what has this discussion will look like, you know, right wing and media circles again is for 50, is being labeled with the situation. the listening post do coding, the media analysis era. the serious new president refutes his call for unity at a national dialogue. meant a chart, the country's political future, the you're watching all to 0 life for my headquarters and del fine to navigate. the also coming up 6, promising in children, died from the cold weather in gaza. israel is refusing to allow mobile homes and tons into the strength as part of the ceasefire. deal. heavy fighting and the

student needs capital for the army. just trying to gain more grounds from the paramilitary rapids support forces. we report from cartoon. and after meeting the us president french leader and 91 lacrosse, cease fire in your brain as possible in the coming weeks. the serious president shudder has addressed a national conference in damascus and repeated his call for unity. the dialogue it intends to charge the path forward politically and leave the ground work for a new constitution. the meeting also aims to address economic, social, and political issues. the new government, which to power in december has promised an inclusive political transition. and this conference was one of its pleasures. and the,

this is a period of rebuilding our country of decades of destruction, devastation, syria is indivisible, and that one might slice in our unity series economy has been reeling on the systematic vandalism. yep. the nucleus of development lies within. we require a plan for resuscitation, and we must 10 series opportunities into practical investment johnson. we must stand firmly impartially against those who may seek to undermine our unit. results are covering the meeting for us and damascus rest. so are we expecting any concrete decisions to come out of this national dialogue conference as well? i mean, not really what it all the officials and people here is. this is mostly like an advisory board. and so, but it's important to united way because the people and the officials are saying, well, one of the team that was missing in the city and pulled because he was

a senior to cv. and uh, but that, and for the 1st time, since years this happened and no serious from different worlds of life, different occupations, different segments of society are here, meeting a shading data, ideas and trying to find a way the best ways, how to rebuild. they've come to how to build a future for syria and see areas, but there's meeting this national dialogue, quote for this is brother dialogue rather than be like a decision making by the what a decision making be. so it's a one the confidence as a means to make sure that no syrians are talking to each other. so there are around $550.00 attendees to these national valve covers year. and now often speech off, i'm of the shot at the transition period president. so that attendees have been split to 6 working groups. some of them are focusing on the economy,

some of them transitional, just as some of them, the civil liberties as so want. and then in couple of hours, hours that going to come come together, these 6 groups and shading the findings with each other. however, this is just shaving has not been not in the position legal position of making the bonding complete decisions. but one thing is absolutely important today, and that is we would expect in this quote for us to use a close additional comment. that comment is going to be responsible, mainly responsible for drafting a new constitution for syria over the course of next 3 years. and was dad's because edition is adopted then the company is going to set the ship to dates for the election screen that says it's quite important. but as i said, rather than expecting concrete decisions and stuff today is that advise anybody to the present or of the country and it is a dialogue conference. okay,

thank you for sole source our reporting from damascus. well, after years or for on corruption, syria is health care system is struggling. it's health ministers, us thousands more doctors are needed to replace those who have fled abroad. and some hospitals. patients are also being asked to bring in their own medical supplies. some of them drop a visit at a pediatric hospital in the capital damascus. this unit toward in the syrian capital is busy. and is sort of stuff and supplies. medics here say they're under intense pressure with long working hours and low pay patients are being asked to bring in their own medical supplies. that surgical suitors park goals and even capital bags. at the pediatric hospital, emergency staff can barely keep up to the doctors or donating money to buy basics

like diapers. and families must purchase medicine itself. the use of corruption means much of the equipment is old. and this punch, the formulation of officials accuse of using specialist medical units to the money . and now the sound regimes gone departments like the bone marrow transplant unit might have to shut down due to lack of funds. use a flor have devastated serious health care sector. just 2 months ago, reaching forces targeted this hospital and it's a lot during the war, major hospitals we use as many of the bases and so we can get tax ment facilities but destroyed or damaged. this is what the main hospital induced door looks like after the regime pulled out in most facilities and opposition have pods that some of the serious on the public cancer hospital. some devices nearly 25 years old. the number of patients is doubled. so the machines are running beyond capacity.

most syrians cannot afford to keep the private clinics. jasmine with the, the difficulty of your face and extremely old devices for your therapy. the results of devices is different from more advanced devices abroad or they can only cater to a small number of patients. we are facing these obstacles almost every day. the 2 lives here from the which is still under the control of us back fighters. and this sunday i have not seen my 4 children 40 a month. the youngest is 5 years old. i hope we have such a hospital in reco. many people can afford transportation, but expensive tooth and the financial situation for me. and most people as dire the most medical professionals who are in less than $50.00 a month and distributed with a huge workload as well as inflation to gabled health care in syria. the ministry of health says that it's under twice thousands of doctors and medical professionals, and it would also need more than

a 1000000000 dollars in investment for patients like but to that help. it's already too late. so i'm a job with the other 0 semester. and people in southern syria have been protesting against the is really presence in their country. crowds and swayed or angry. after that is really prime minister said the forces of the new syrian administration could not enter the area south of damascus is really forces of occupied more serious land in the wake of a shot. and a sense ousting. renewed ministration has called on them to withdraw from all syrian territory. the ugly, 6 children and dogs, i have died overnights because of the severe cold, forcibly displaced palestinians across the street for a living and were now tense among the rubble their destroyed homes. strong winds

and heavy rains of turn make shift shelters into barely livable spaces, offering little protection from the winter weather. the humanitarian crisis is being worse and by israel's blockade on aids. none of the 60000 mobile homes needed for shelter had been allowed into the strip as agreed under the ceasefire deal talked about as boone joining us from what i find southern gaza to tell us about the 6 children who have died due to the cold. as well, the humanitarian crisis that we've had we've had lots of different show to. one of them, in fact is a beautiful baby that was living with have family in the last the area in the area that has to be designated as a safe to many terry and so on by the is read the village for you. and just by to promises by the delivery

a full bath home said about just the shelters has been obstructed by the spanish site, which has been seen widely as a. it's a violation of the current sci fi to the lack of housing has exposed fundable populations including children and the as a lead to life threatening conditions. it's quite understandable that because of the trip as a part of the tea leaves and the very desperate need for at least more than $200000.00. that makes shift tense and more than 60000 mobile homes in order to be distributed for families to afford them live protection against the element spot. so now this is significant. a humanitarian demand has not been met by the east, by the side where this procrastination has been widely condemned by palestinian factions will code, did yates's to practise smooth pressure on israel to or completely full. so it's up locations on this. these 5 agreements thoughts the blue create. let's see,

as we have seen over the course of the past months, is that not only a humanitarian conditions have been due to a range of holes with children who are looking for medication and a psychological it does occur. recovery has been widely obstructed due to the destruction of essential hospitals and the ongoing lives. now families, all let shots is being emotionally pro them down. um they are trying also to find out tenants of mechanisms for this crisis, but escalating to india out, which is from the posting in perspective. if it's not going to be met to, to be an introductory for a potential collapse of the deal. if isabel could not help to allow for the suspension requirements to inside because of the trip and that'd be frame of the of the deal to now. but the reading at the moment families are trying now to october the situation. but their ability to continue to have to endure these extreme

hardships is the dwindling day in the out light of the start during this tale of the crisis in different areas in district. okay, thank you so much product about zone reporting from alpha and gaza. israel is expanding its military offensive across the occupied westbank. its forces are reading the city of novelist where a gun fire has been heard. there also reports a soldier storming a mosque and blowing off its stores. israel's military rays across the territory in recent months as forest, tens of thousands of palestinians to flee elsewhere and the occupied westbank is really forces have withdrawn from the town of compass, the yourself of jeanine. they arrested a number of people during their today reigns is really forces also destroyed water facilities on to electricity networks. there has been heavy fighting in the sudanese capital cartoon where the army is seeking to gain more ground from the

parent military rapids support forces. it's already won back large parts of the capital as well as the surrounding areas in recent weeks. the army has also seized control of a bridge south of cartoon from the recess of a charity doctors without borders says it's been forced to suspend all its activities in north star for because of escalating violence in the area from hard to have. a morgan has more on the devastating humanitarian consequence of the conflicts to many of the civilian slaves during the early days of the complex and the months that followed. but they are still civilians. here in the capital of 2 were caught in the conflict between designees army and the parent military rapids support forces. there are also civilians in other parts of the country where there is fighting as to the new army tries to regain grounds from the r, a staff in white mile. for example, the city needs government says more than 400 people were killed in the past week. in attacks by the to the needs are but by the rapid support for so in this city

open fashion and that's in north that are for the last remaining, armstrong hold the communitarian organization. the medical organizations, doctors without borders, says that it has to spend its opperation due to violence in some, some comp. that's where assignment was declared lot last year. when more than 500000 people, that's more than half a 1000000 people have sought refuge. uh, most of them are there for more than 20 years. but many of them uh, having some sales filter and refuge in the account as soon as possible. the conflict on april 2023. so the organization says as a result of the iris attacks on the camp, they had to suspend their operation. and that is putting civilians as at risk. many of them don't have access to medical assistance and health care. they have nowhere to go. they've been impact displacement comp for years. and in some cases, that to become their home now and the suspension of the team and the parent operations is going to have a life threatening impact on them. so the united nation has repeatedly called on both were in parties to provide humanitarian creators and to provide protection for civilians who are affected by the conflict. but civilians are meant to be caught up

between the 2 wearing sites, with many of them losing their lives in the process. still a head on alpha 0. i'm john 100 in chicago with a trump administrations withdrawal from the terrace climate agreement is costing the city billions of dollars. the remembering the legendary american singer roberta flag passed away at the age of 88 the the okay it's is there any seasons? no surprise to see showers in the form of these discrete fund. the still on for the all of the pricing that i use, you add into an easier not so much now in the philippines,

your message by anywhere from west papua or words to match it. the potential for a pretty big dime pause is that it's increasingly cloudy and occasionally wrapped in cost into china as well, which is okay. not so much over the constant and australia, but it is still about season and we've not turn up, but at least 3 tropical such as we can. that one's act in the ocean. we think no beyond this one in the policy might creek closer to the queen's in coast. and ray is a long way south of the honest, but there is a hint maybe over possibly fiji of some significant whether or not spinner as it moves southwards. but for the comes into australia, pretty dry and warm picture from his pump tension in the thirty's, coming down little bit in victoria about the time we get to the end of thursday. i mean coming showers before may be just around the city. that's the news. evenings where york stream bolts has gone back down to more savage or bit below bright each day on wednesday, or shall 2 in both christ church on and wedding to on thursday running just bit walmart $23.00. so it was the potential of the art shop. otherwise,

sunshine prevails, proud to complain, even though it's not as long as it could be the the . ringback the, the

of the top stories on how to 0 this our serious know precedence has called for unity and his address that a national dialogue conference in damascus. the meeting is intended to try to pass forward politically and lay the groundwork for a new constitution. at least 6 children in gaza have died because of the severe colds forcibly displaced palestinians across the serpent living in wor, no tons among the rubble of their destroyed homes. there has been heavy fighting and assorted in these comments of cartoon where the army is seeking to gain or thrown some apparent military rapids for forces. it's already won back large parts of the capital and reset the, the french president divided by my crawl says he believes

a truce between russia and ukraine could happen in the next few weeks. it's common to us media came after a meeting with president donald trump at the white house island fisher reports. i want to say the french president for the living relationship with donald trump, a man who could have influence as the world contemplates peace and ukraine. president, the crown was 1st special man in my book. it's clear tony from wants to us to get something out of it. support but keep doing it's 2 year long back deal on rear f minerals the ability to access and exploit. he believes the deal is close and would help you clean to the deals being worked on where are they getting very close to getting an agreement, beneficial to their economy, to their, to them as a country. but you know, word for $350000000000.00. how we got there. i don't know, but that's a lot of money. a lot of lot of money invested in we had nothing, nothing to show for. some tried to claim you're not given as much as the us only to

be surprisingly corrected with a hand on the arm. no. in fact, to be, to be frank, we paid, we paid 60 person so it's possible president soleski could be in the white house on the next 2 weeks. but he's rejected the initial deal from the americans, insisting their supports within the form of the grant. and i believe not loans and he's not ready to sign away the rights for young ukrainians and the big police. i'm not signing something that 10 generations of ukrainians will be paying off the europeans. or we have heard of us with a fluids peace talks. the want us security guarantees, especially a put and accept european troops monitoring the piece that specifically asked them that question. he has no problem with. didn't use confidence after the 2 ment. president mccord want that it's not a quick piece deal that's needed wrong point. what the last thing was, let's try to get something 1st, which is, which can be assessed, checked and verified. and let's be sure that we build sufficient guarantees of the

sheltering. and this is where we are ready to be engaged. donald trump said he'd have a piece deal for ukraine before he even returned to the oval office. that hasn't happened, but people are talking about and then to the fighting because of him. something that hasn't happened in almost 3 years. there are differences between ukraine and russia, obviously, between the europeans and the u. s. and between the ukrainians and the us. but that's what negotiations are for island, for sure. i'll just see it at the white house. well, benjamin friedman is a policy director of defense priorities. he says the us as being realistic about ukraine's chances of winning the war and joining nato. and so i think saying alignment with rushes based eyeball like, i mean the trumpet ministration clearly is going a different direction. but a lot of it, i think, is just the result of the war. and the progress ross has made the weakness of ukraine. and so i think we're seeing in many ways a concession to reality,

to the facts. not only that rushes succeeding more than ukraine in the war in terms of moving the lines. but also that nobody really was ever going to put ukraine in nato. the united states was never serious about that. and so we seem to shift a happily, in my view away from pretending that you create might be able to join data. so i think in many ways, you know, the details remain to be seen, but in many ways. yes, i think this sort of push for piece which is bound to make a lot of people and you create in europe. unhappy is overdue. and is deed a smart move from the us perspective? i don't think we should care one way or the other. what makes putting happy? i think we should look out 1st and foremost for our own interest. but yeah, i mean, the russians have taken a lot of casualties, a great deal in terms of their economy, even though they manage to rebuild it to a substance significant it steps. so i think, you know,

the worst stops now at rush. it gets to keep the land it has and you create doesn't get any security guarantees. a lot of people will say, well, this shows the aggression paid off for russian. and i think that's wrong. i think russia wants the board and because they suffered to and nobody would look at what they dont ukraine, i don't think and say this is an example to emulate they want. i think most people would see rushes example and ukraine is something to avoid doing. and the reason why state shouldn't invade other states, and that's a good thing for international security. so as bad as everything is for ukraine, i think we, we, in that limited sense, could look on the bright side and say, it's not like this was a smashing success for russia, which will lead to further attempts and conquests. i think that's quite unlikely. a lot of one of donald trump's 1st doctor's presidents was again withdrawing from the parents climate agreements which committed the us and other member nations to reduce greenhouse gases the effect as already being seen across the u. s. as the

new administration rolls back, many environmental protections of zeros on 100 has this report from chicago. with a pin stroke president, donald trump withdraws the us from the parents climate treaty. we're going to save over a trillion dollars by withdrawing from the country away in chicago. the wheels of the drive to combat global warming grind to a halt. $430000000.00 in climate pollution reduction grants for the crossroads of america's railway freight lines, frozen a $148000000.00 for an electric vehicle recharging station, stopped to 1000000000 to extend light rail to chicago's impoverished far south side . did 2000000 to reconnect poor minority communities cut in half by the interstate to 90 expressway gone. conservation is say residents will pay

some with their lives. so what does it mean for communities when this money goes away? it means that the air we breathe won't be as clean. it means that the water we drink might not be as clean, and that has really direct consequences on people's lives. diesel pollution in illinois, according to the respiratory health association kills $400.00 people in illinois every year. a mercy pedroza lives in an industrial neighborhood where she routinely monitors the air quality feels like it's, it's gotten a little worse, definitely not getting better. and each declining. yeah, it smells like burning rotten carbons, which is so bad. and i'm not, i mean, a lot of people noticed it and complained about it, don't even know like, what is that smell, or is it coming from? it is not. she says this smell of progress is happening in every state across the u . s. billions of dollars in environmental projects including one cleaning up the nation's busiest freight rail system. here in chicago, shell,

hammering local economies within calculable cost for human health and the environment in an increasingly warming world. trump says the costs will save trillions for the us treasury with climate scientists say the cuts will actually cost the us government jobs. slowing green technologies like eaves in seating entire industries, the global competitors such as china. and then by failing to slow global climate change, there's a cost of more extreme weather events burning precious time on a dangerously warming planet. john henry and l g 0, chicago. the final impeachment, hearing for a south korea's allstate presidency to secure all has now begun and sold. a constitutional court judges will rule on his case you and is the 1st sitting president to face criminal charges in the country. he was arrested last month for insurrection, after he briefly imposed martial law in december,

even though the sd of carbon chancellor, all actual stuff with that historic defeat. both parties together have a narrow majority in parliament. this big, great for the question, democrats escalate the suites they got most of the seats, but the real witness on the far right internet to frontier many with a firewall in place against doing deals with the far right column in a stable government quickly in a politically fresh month of landscape won't be an easy task. by winning 150 to of 261230 seats in parliament. the a f d will be a force to reckon with even outside government. it's lead to at least why the already hit out against maps has yet to be formed school relation. these are the cubans will visa farm theater. nobody will take this government as it is being formed seriously. and above all, we want one thing. we want peace and ukraine for the ukrainians and for the russians and above all, we want to enjoy a very good relationship with the trumpet administration, which is doing an excellent job. yeah,

and have full argument drop must. the left bar to which has been most vocal against the far right surprise money by winning 64 seats in parliament lodging through support from younger photos. ribbon, we will draw everyone's attention to, i know it's to be a very loud voice for social justice and against a shift to the right max one that if the next government fails to address grievances in germany about immigration, and then a new economy. the a the will only become more popular. it's now up to him and his coalition far apart and that's due to the type step science of l. g 0. berlin. the vatican says po francis has condition, has improved slightly. the 88 year old leader of the roman catholic church has been in hospital for 12 days with pneumonia. and both lines and recent blood tests showed he's also suffering from a kidney issue. people gather to pre outside rooms hospital where the pope is receiving treatment. grammy award winning american singer and canis roberta flack
