the, the, the the alarm serial venue. it's good to have you with us. this is the news our life from don't. coming up in the program today, syria is new. presidents repeats this call for unity at a national dialogue meant the chart, the country's political future. 6 palestinian children die from the cold weather and gaza. israel is refusing to allow mobile homes and $0.10 of the strip despite the ceasefire agreement. after meeting the us presidents in washington,

french presidents in menu and maximum says a ceasefire and ukraine. it is possible in the coming weeks and heavy fighting in the student needs capital, where the army is trying to gain more ground from the terminal. the tree rapid support forces will be reporting some cartoon driven ash, with sports about to coach jerry say, marine, there has been a case on racism, so to speak, meet as kind of a task arise, say they intend to launch criminal proceedings or the comments he made off to that game on monday, the serious president that middle sharah has opened a national conference in damascus and repeated his call for unity. the dialogue intends to charge a path forward politically and lay the groundwork for a new constitution. it also aims to address economic, social, and political issues. and you government,

which to power in december has promised an inclusive political transition. and this conference was one of its pledges. 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, syria is economy has been reeling on the systematic vandalism. get the nucleus of development lives within. we require a plan for resuscitation, and we must 10 series opportunities into practical investment johnson. we must stand firmly, harshly against those who may seek to undermine our unit. houses here, as will sort our as covering this national dialogue for us in damascus. so we're sol since he came to power. um it will show raw, has developed the constitution, the legislature, the army political parties. so there's a lot to rebuild and syria and officially, that is what the national dialogue is for. tell us how it's going to work. a

well indeed now see is how to have to rebuild the country from scratch because as you said, i'm sold a bulk of bodies in this country have been dissolved by the new government that by president of the shadow. so does national dialogue conference here is actually a the may be the 1st concrete steps toward achieving that goal. so there are around $550.00 people. see any of those that are well known in the occupation. some of them are the academics, some of the businessmen, some of them politicians, the active is to be willing to apply from different segments of society, of occupations. they, for the 1st time, seems more than a decades they gather that the presidential palace behind me. that was used by somebody for decades. now, these people are here today, then they're discussing how to pay the way for a better future for celia to build

a future for, for syria, to bear with look ex fact in any bonding decision, any leads result. because this is a body that is acting like another. why is it a group to the president of the country? so these 550 people know some people came to 6 working groups. then one of the groups is responsible for the economic projection. some of the other group is responsible for the, for the positions and also the solution comedy as well. but, i mean, all of the most important one is that you would expect in this national conference the day of the confidence to you. it cost additional accommodates, which is going to be drafting the new constitution of the company over the course of the next 2 years for so a heart of syrians feel about this. i mean this conference is supposed to be representative of syrian society in syria and civil voices to

be seen steve. it's coming off the new government. busy on december 8th or that has been a major concern, whether the new government is going to be inclusive. it's going to to make sure that these new tables have seas for them, for different segments of the site, the, whether the different segments of site or going to be representative family. that is the main concern. and then the city is here when you talk to them, they express day that the, the, the, the sense of joy or seeing the collapse of bush. i said regina, however, they're also expressing their concerns about the safety of the government as well. so now the government is trying to assure them by organizing such a national diet of code for those of saying, well, the new government is going to be inclusive. this is one of the to just start with just know these 10 a method with how the costs will 222,

and achieving that goal. when you talk to syrians here, the extremely happy for that's what a cd is just before our lives. a beat our lives to have been talking to him and said that in the this is almost a revolution versus taps. because it said that not just through the last decade, the deluxe, 14 years of the civil war. but perhaps in the last half a century, you have not seen the syrians from different walks of life, really coming together and talking to each other and trying to have a scene in how to run the state, the fees of state or culture. now renewal, thank you very much. that self is 0. so we'll start our reporting from the syrian capital. so there's a lot to rebuild, as we said. and that includes the countries health care sector. nearly 14 years of war have decimated the sector in syria fighting corruption. the departure and medical professionals, all of that means the system has to be rebuilt from scratch. a sound, a binge of aid visited a pediatric hospital in the capital,

damascus of the this you need to board in the city and capital is busy and is short of stuff and supplies that exist either under intense pressure with long working hours and low pay patients are being asked to bring in their own medical supplies, like surgical sutures, clock goals, and even capital bags. and the pediatric hospital emergency staff can barely keep up to the doctors of donating money to buy basics like diapers. and families must purchase medicine itself. the use of corruption means much of the equipment is whole. and this function formulation with fishes 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,

vision forces targeted this hospital and it was doing the work. major hospitals were use as many of the bases and so we can, a tax ment, facilities were destroyed or damaged. this is what the main hospital induced door looks like after the regime pulled out. in most facilities, the opposition has pots look similar that 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 for treat private clinics. jasmine with the the difficulty of your face and extremely old devices through your therapy. the results of devices is different from more advanced device as a broad, as it can only cater to a small number of patients. we are facing these obstacles almost every day. the, the to does hear from the which is still under the control of us back fighters. and

the 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 drunk go. many people can afford transportation, but expensive tooth and the financial situation for me. and most people as dire. 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 on the fly, thousands of doctors and medical professionals. and it will also need more than a $1000000000.00 in invest for patients like the to that help is already to do some of the job or the other 0 semester. and people in southern syria had been protesting against the is really presence in their country. crowds in us a way to or angry after the is really prime minister said the forces of the new administration could not enter the area south of damascus is really forces have occupied more story land in the wake of the shortlist of the hosting. the new

administration is called on them to withdraw from old story interpreter. the sanctions on syria, which have been in place since 2011 targeted his financial transactions for like sports and trade. amongst other things. since then, serious economy has from like 85 percent is g d p dropping from 67500000000 to in 2023, just 9000000000 dollars. 90 percent of syrians now live in extreme poverty. nearly 13000000 do not have enough food. the sanctions also made it difficult to bring an aid and medical supplies. we just saw the effect of that. and experts estimate it could take a decade to return to the pre award g d p in 2011 and another decade to fully rebuild the country. rob guys tenfold is electra and international security at the king's college london. he joins us from london and is this national dialogue a good representation of syrian society as well. so

now shaw has managed to reach out to various different groups and slowly bring them into the fold. but there is an elephant in the room. he is the one key presence that is missing is the, the, the syrian democratic forces. the kid is like group operating in the east of the country. now h d s. the hedge do us like government and to showers government. and because the staff have been negotiating for a long time over how and if they will be integrated into the new central government and their own forces responded and also integrated. they have not reached a deal. and it simply wouldn't be possible for 2 kids to have, and that's the presence legitimize in that room today. but as a result, that means there is a glaring absence and is not just the staff as well. there is disquiet from other parts of syria. for example, the drews in the south west and part of the country and other men issues around the dollar region and those, they all going along more with the transitional products. that's down the codes.

but they have been expressing disquiet increasingly public a publicly. they not only have to deal with distrust, it's not they don't trust in the shower and i guess, but there's also this is ready, occupation is expanding in south west in syria as well. so there's so much pressure on them at all shower to make sure that his words are not just words that people are talking, but he's also listening at this conference. so at this point in time, syrians are through this national dialog supposed to decide which recommend to their leader off, middle, sure of what the country should look like going forward about that. there's a, there's a part of the speech around maybe 2 hours ago that caught my eye. he said the next, i'm paraphrasing here. he said, the next political system that's going to be decided upon for syria needs to align with our culture. we can't import a system from outside, that is not in harmony with the syrian people. what. what does that mean to you as

well? i think it's him basically spelling out that you know, you eat, has made moves towards saying that yes, that will be a democracy. in syria eventually, but i think that spells out, but it will not be a liberal democracy. now, something that's been called low tension between adult shara, his goldman and europe, for example, is the europeans all saying, look, we will give you sanctions relief. but we need built in protection for minority groups, for example, for women will these kind of things and i'm sure has been getting along with that to the degree, but this is kind of pushed back from him. but it's also pushed back from the other angles as well. don't forget that syria is a country with the turkish occupation in the know and his radio occupation in the south west. the history of it rainy and, and russian involvement is fine to say that the syrian people off suspicious of external actors and their intentions and the desires visa v, the country. and therefore, it is not coming up showers of times they look, you know, this is the syrian people, this will be no gunning movement,

but it also goes along with these other rhetoric, by the way, ways very often said the revolution stops here. there's no revolution more it state building, we're not exporting it abroad. this is not like the reigning revolution. we're not looking to cause trouble at a nearby or a neighboring countries or in the region. we're looking to look inward and build the country, the country that we want to build. so there's that clear given take that, that don't impose the system on us and we're not looking to impose a system on you and cause trouble abroad. and that's really interesting because we have seen western countries, especially in the middle east, try to impose their blueprint for a society and a political system. so we're talking about rebuilding a nation here. rebuilding syria, what are relevant, historical precedence that we can look to? and what lessons can we learn from those as well? i think somebody else, all right, is definitely looking at regional precedence as you can to that base 0. i for example, iraq, very,

very close to syria. obviously she has voted with syria. one of the issues with the right has been an attempt to impose limestone system just basically there's not a belief the liberal democracy will just sprouts up overnight in iraq. always the that didn't happen way instead happened is the new government didn't have a monopoly on violence, it didn't have one on me rolling the country, it wasn't a strong government. and also it was not an inclusive government. different minority groups felt distant from july and as a result that provoked it, sectarian buttons and instability. so these, i guess at the 2 key pillars about them at our showers approach 1st to emphasizing respectful minority groups in syria. to start that set parity nice ation of the country which will lead to more instability and conflict on the other thing. and these can often contrast base trying to go at to, to reconcile the 2 is to how about monopoly on full stop monopoly on volumes that is a necessary characteristic of statehood. so there is a strong central government in syria that can provide for its citizens. and can be

gleaned. international legal tends defined and understood as a state. that's a very big ask. i think it's split, same robin guys tend full. thank you very much for joining us on the else. is there a news our the at least 6 children in does that have died over night because of the cold weather? one of the victims of baby girl culture was just a few days old. tens of thousands of palestinians across the street for a living among the rubble of their destroyed homes. strong winds and heavy rains have turned to make shift shelters into barely livable spaces. the humanitarian crisis is being worsened by israel's blockade. on aid in mobile homes. as the live self is eurostar, cowboy zoom tarik, you're in rougher that's in the southern part of the gaza strip. so it was 3 degrees celsius overnight and gas that that's barely above freezing barely. and

children, 6 of them have now died because of the temperatures and because of the cold. tell us more about them and the living conditions that lead to this as well certainly serial. we understand clearly that the palestinian families are facing unimaginable suffering, being devoid does not necessarily mean the end of the accumulating humanitarian collab. it's saying we have that seems that 6 children died yesterday over night. and actually by that that could reflect fees that green she been at target crisis where completely passed away due to the soviet cold and adequate level of shelter as a forwarded for palestinian families of losing their residential homes. and off to the destruction of the original towns and villages, doctors describes seeing infants with blue lips and hold the skins or bodies

shutting down due to the lack of painting blankets and a bloom purple shelters. this is absolutely a dramatic reality that we have seen is that we have seen storing data and out what many families have survived. very devastating months of abutment starvation disease and now they the, the cold is taking more lives simply because families have no options left for them in order to use a lot of the ongoing is very obstruction of the entry of a central humanitarian mississippi has including it off i'm bound to show it to is mobile homes alongside with the proper, a suitable tense that publish the news can generally use it's worth noting that uh, based on the terms of the agreement, more than 200000, it makes shift tens, must allow to be accessing jobs alongside with more than 60000, more about shelters, box fraction of these recommendations and requirements have been allowed to enter the gaza strip since the implementation of the 1st phase of agreement. the social

is 0, sorry god was zoom, reporting from ross us in the gaza strip. thank you very much. start. and we're joined by timer carmel, with the policy and from gaza, who was an associate professor of the doha institute for graduate studies. 4 days left on the end of phase one of the ceasefire. it expires phase one officially, as it's currently written, expires, march 1st for days by some my math as 96 hours. and we have no certainty on what happened on whether this is going to be same through phase one, let alone whether phase 2 will actually have it's through a sooner than the mix, then types of tuition. very good to come. now this page, let's look at the site. so we have, we see nothing. yeah. who was trying to buy more time and who was more eager to extend stage one. the good thing is to stage 2, why is this for fish to? the fact is very important questions the future of us,

the governance structure of was the method of how masses but us and some of us. and when is it in face to israel has to completely withdraw from gaza, including the philadelphia car door, which is that stretch of supposedly demilitarized land that is really army has reoccupied between guys in egypt. correct. and if that happens and nothing, yeah, whose opinion or the nothing else interest this means is coalition with full thoughts, the meanings that, that i think uh minutes, citizens connection. we withdraw from this government and it might collapse. so nothing it has in its own and turn them into to see it at the stake. meanwhile, we see the americans option again as default, growth is coming to visit the region again and in the month of 2 or 3 days as well . and may have been to the americans once to see an extension of the truce and want to see how we out of this, both from the motor list. so if it's a fusion or a hybrid between stage one on stage 2, it could work out. we don't know what the,

what would it mean, extending phase one. it just means it at the very minimum, it means we don't go back to fighting, right? the word is not resume and, and they, they, they did remain focused on exchanging the prisoners. i'm captives a different allowing for the 18th of us, and that's it. so this is pretty much what's what stage one is focused on, allowing a director and exchanging prisoners, i've got this from the, from both sides. and much of that a, by the way, target was just reporting has not entered the mobile homes, the tense, medical materials. a lot of that, as far as mobile homes, intense and concerned, almost all of it has not entered the strip. it should have correct. and again, this is in violation of its own commitments to stage one and, but at the same time, the, the, the, the, the situation, it gets even more complex because what's happening and loves as also related to what's happening in a lot of competence. the meeting that's happening to the odds and the the me things that will take place and title soul which we present on our proposal account the

proposal. trump's proposal was one week from now march 4th. correct. and, and this is where the big news will come. basically, so that up, you know, united will come up with their own vision for the, for the ending of the conflict of account to proposal, but also to just trumps for that to forcibly sort of things out of us. and perhaps the commitments also 3 engaged in the construction because the funding critical section in the 10 for keep the, for the stairs, on the 10th floor, a political fast to end this conflict to see the soonest date when the americans and these legs react to this proposal it seems to be seen. so there's so many things happening when it comes to shopping diplomacy in, in the same time. and i think they're all connected together. so the next week would be a good thing because we, once we see that a proposal on the tab and then we see that a action of the trump under the section of this proposal. and these are the committed thrown up. but so for the most important issue is how messes

the controller because the americans and these are in his art, very adamant not to see any adult for from us in the future. the governance others . most of us, though, i know there is, although there is a polk also on the issue of how much is weapons as well. whether it, how much was that under the 12th is or not. there was an interview. we have something new york times by one of the how much single leaders most of them, but as it will, clea was suggesting that thomas is open to discuss this, this matter in a form of integrating. how much is what things end up at a sting and security for that? this was something like this, but it's not decided yet. i mean, but the modem is he, there is this. they've told us multiple times by the way, over the past week that they retain the right to armed resistance. there they would be willing, as far as they've told us in multiple interviews to alger 0, they would be willing to no longer govern the gaza strip as a civil administration in political, a political administration. but that they retain the right to armed resistance. and

that's position is accepted by most palestinians on out ups, but the problem it is not accepted by miscellaneous, miscellaneous, they don't want to see a has beloved model in because meaning how much not in the governor's fonts, but it's the as admitted to political parties and as of the thought of saying that they're not the same politics so that they don't, they don't want that a petition of that has been leveled in living on. and this is where the book, the nick is basically so on. but again, i think the trump administration has, what would it have? does the, the decisive civil would have come as well? it's coming to this because it has also to we between its interest when it's out of allies. and also the is that any conditions on distance with so i think sooner or later the americans would have to make a decision this, i don't think nothing else, but she has a say i find them see on this on the but let's wait to see what that ups have to offer on the, on the table the, the concert proposal and then how would the americans of the accurate and then things would be leaders somehow. yeah. so a couple of days to put on yours radar then. um,

what happens between now and march 1st, which was the official end of the phase one of the ceasefire. what then happens on march 1st? does it collapse as a continue as an extended do we move to phase 2 and then what happens on march 4th, which is when the arab countries present their plan time are. thank you so much. my pleasure is really military is expanding, it's offensive across the occupied westbank. it's forces a rating. the city of novelist were gunfire has been heard. there are also reports of soldiers storming, a mosque and bullying office doors. israel's military res, across the territory, and recent months of force, tens of thousands of palestinians. the fleet, the israel's assault, has been particularly focused on the jeanine refugee camp in the north, where tanks have been deployed and ordered to remain. bulldozers are also demolishing large areas of the camp that is now virtually empty us and elsewhere in the occupied westbank is really forces have withdrawn from the town of coming to

you. that's south of janine. they arrested a number of people during our to day raise is really force is also destroyed water facilities and electricity networks. there's heavy fighting in the city in east capital cartoon, where the army is seeking to gain more ground from the power military rapids support forces or ss. it has already won back large waves of the capitol as well as the surrounding areas in recent weeks. the army has also seized control of a bridge south of cartoon from the r assess and the charity doctors without borders says it's been forced to suspend all his activities in north door for because of escalating violence in the area. from cartoon, morgan has more on the devastating humanity or in consequence of the concept. many of the civilian slaves during the early days of the conflict 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 iris and white mile. for example, the city needs governments have more than 400 people were killed in the past week in attacks by the rapids support forces in this city. i've been fascinated that in north it are for the last remaining army stronghold, the military organization, the medical organizations, doctors without borders says that it has suspended the operation 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 such as, you know, a filter and refuge in the account. as soon as the south of the conflict, an april 2023. so the organization says as a result of the attacks on the account, they had to suspend their operation. and that is putting stability of as at risk. many of them don't have access to medical assistance and health care. they have no way to go. they've been in that displacement count for years. and in some cases, that's become their home now and the suspension of these human to turn the

operations is going to have a life threatening impact on them. so the united nations 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 civil instrument to be caught up between the 2 wearing sites, with many of them losing their lives in the process. still a head on this else is there a news, our ukraine's last industry. how russia might have trillions of dollars worth of ukrainian minerals under its control to find out why a rise of the number of people visiting indiana administered cashmere could be putting the regions pristine environment at risk and support versions of the champions, profi semi finals at the expense of the host agenda. we'll have the details coming the

now i forget towards the end of february, it looks like winters being ease directive based. if you're this big line here, a client is a come from that way. if you're missing, even just bringing in the, the atlantic, which is much, much milder. that's what's been sitting about. you're the central leasing. you're for quite a few weeks, which is what you might expect. it's still called, admittedly more or less. and the politics take stand towards the belt area, are the grey or sunny if you're lucky, the snow full is rather light and i mainly can find it took you. of course the opposite. get some stair cuz it's in coming. whether or not be wet to force that way depending on your height above sea level. but otherwise, you're not gonna be will particularly in spain and portugal, but rain will be a single be noticed alongside wind coming into from somebody's house. once again. i'm spinning around actually and the adjoining nations, they will be at times width and when the weather was snow at height 0, it's not particularly cold. are going to be sweet to stay for you. i think for 2 or 3 days in sarajevo, the picture might be or went to one still pretty low,

but 30 degrees dropping to about 9. right. when i tried the friday that given the middle training still not particularly settled to distill, potentially sherry libya, in fact, was a bit of a circulation trying to associate. so bringing dust all night. we all way that whole burst to the coast, the, the, the muslim community in diana, living in a fiber and caribbean culture, this country, we're blessed. we live in harmony with all different regions. i'll just leave it well, travels to south america for a guy, and he's remington, as long as the of late. and they enjoyed doing it. we have a rich country in terms of diversity. that is something that we can celebrate grammar time in diana analysis era. the sun rises really into

the history was written.
