the the, the, the syrian government sends reinforcements to the northwest, softer fighting between security forces and the outside regime. loyalists skills 15 the for the back to boy, i'm watching l g 0 live for my headquarters in the also coming up the us and

ukraine, a set to meet in saudi arabia next week to discuss the framework for peace and presence. and then he says he'll be there a south korean court orders the release from prison, all the beach president use, so kill will be live in. so the stand a dispute between pakistan and afghanistan and shut sound of 5 to border crossing the syrian government to send military reinforcements to the northwest. cit comes after . at least 15 people were killed in violence between security forces and finances, loyal to house to president bush on a side. it happened in the formerly to stronghold on the mediterranean coast. it

was finance in syria since the former regime was toppled in december. and no, it doesn't long we the general security forces from a level heading to the coastal areas to defeat the remnants of all sides forces the targeted brothers in the security forces in the tacky a governor. it typically you speak to allergies here as rest. we'll sit down who's in damascus for his rest. so what's the latest you're hearing 1st about the situation in the northwest? well, throughout the night we have seen have you classes taking place in the back? yeah. and talk to is the cost of cities and in city of homes, the 3rd largest city in syria. but in the last couple of hours, you're seeing that this class just had be significantly decreased. and one of the reasons, according to the pool is now coming from the field. i've seen that sort of ongoing negotiations with the rebels and between the good, between the rebels and the government. so the leader of the rabble is the issue that statement and the been providing 2 conditions as 1st saying that the exchange

of the prisoners of the calf does have to be taken by both sides. and the 2nd his asking the government to the complete withdrawal from the coastal areas of syria. and that is extremely difficult for the government to accept because accepting that means simply leaving a significant portion of syria under the control of labor lives available in rebels . and that will raise the questions the most see it is whether the government, the new government is really in control of the country or not. so this way is expected that the government is going to reject that. on the other hand, you have heating, the pulls that some of the fee of command is of the rebels. they already know surrendering, and they want to surrender. and do officials here must seen that you lose the 5th commanders of the rebels or the rebels that have been involved in these actions to go to the need as checkpoint and to submit the weapons. who are these are side loyalists? right, so what do we know about who backs them? for example, a well, no,

the most prominent name that is coming out is against the name on that last he was a general in the army of the former regime. and she has been, me, has been involved the 7 of atrocities in madison because since the beginning of the civil war in 2011 on particularly has been known by domestic is that being carried out in 2018 in the city of data in the south of the country, he's no ken of the on the american side shalise and he's known if he's close ties with iran. so he's the most prominent the most senior name among those rebels. and he's seen that he has formed, admitted to the coastal, to liberate quote unquote, the coastal areas of, of, of syria. the 2nd name that is coming out is mr. there, who was also a senior member or commander in the 4th division of the previous regime. the 4th division was an attorney, is the reason because it was the rick under the i'm the responsibility off my head and i sat, the brother of the shuttle set. and it was the guy was the goddess as the most

powerful vision in syria. but that the vision has also been involved in several messages, and of course it is the last 14 years. however, one thing is clear so far, this elements of the remnants of the elements of the old regime, the old no, could be moved to have a kind of freed area in the coastal area of, of syria, i guess a new government. and so it seems that that has been a kind of this all of this action to be pre planned and they are well organized, but as, as low as it says, of the inforcement for these reasons, it seems that the us, this, there is a solution of the escalation, a special thank you very much for that resulted on life, i say, in damascus the us and you creating officials are expected to meet in saudi arabia next week for

talk saying that ending the war with russia president on me as a landscape says he'll be present at the discussions. he also says he will work constructively with present donald trump to reach an agreement for lasting piece. ukraine has been trying to repair its relationship with the us after heated dispute between polanski and trump at the white house last week. the u. s president says russian leader vladimir fulton, is also keen on a deal to end the war. well, i think what's going to happen is ukraine wants to take a deal because i don't think they have a choice. i also think that russia wants to make a deal because in a certain different way, a different way that i only i know only i know they have no choice either address here as well as in jordan has more from washington dc as well potentially there is going to be a meeting between the ukrainian president followed him as a landscape and us and other interlocutors in saudi arabia,

perhaps by this time next week. and that's part of our trying to get the process underway to actually negotiating and into this 3 year long war with russia. now it is important to note that not only was president donald trump talking about the need to try to end the war that would benefit both countries. but his special envoy to the middle east, steve with coff, has also been involved in trying to help us broker some sort of into the war between russia and ukraine. he told reporters outside the oval office on thursday afternoon that both sides see that this is important, that both sides are making initial offers. but the gaps still remain and woodcock pointed out that that is the nature of negotiation. both sides put for their 1st offer and then the job for those who were helping to negotiate an end to

a war in this case is to try to find a way to bridge those gaps in while in your opinion, leaders have announced in a historic increase in military spending at any emergency meeting in brussels and in a show of solidarity, the bronx says it's strengthened, defense efforts would also support ukraine diplomatic attitude. jane spaces in brussels with this report is not the great thing for most the leaders of load them is the landscape. this has been one of the ukrainian presidents worst week since the russian invasion with the us separating old military assistance. and it spiteful battlefield intelligence. here though, he's among his strongest supporters and his friends for the most part, great that we are not alone. we feel it anyway knowing. thank you so much for ever seeing. here are aware of how dramatically geo politics is changing. europe faces a clear and present danger, and therefore europe has to be able to protect itself to defend itself,

which is lead is arrives, some stopping briefly to speak to report has no one explain why the world has changed. the fee is go well beyond ukraine. is that the us will the bands and its traditional role defending europe? yeah, there's another thing they were afraid of for the antagonizing donald trump. that's why no one even mentioned his name around the summit table leaders agreed to work on the proposal by the european commission to reorder up with a price tag of about $850000000000.00 us dollars. for me. the most important thing now is to be very frank, to re i'm here. i don't think we have a lot of time. uh, so re um in your sprint sprint, sprint on ukraine and the final conclusions that was strong support for presidency landscape from all the you. nations, apart from one hungry, it's long had

a different view from it's european and nato allies. of course hungry is no longer alone, its position is very similar to that of the us under the trump administration. james buys, which is 0, brussels, the age 6 space, and stays around, bronco supplies and humanitarian aids from reaching guys, and writes groups phase having di, consequences, food and fuel songs are running out and the rainy weather is worsening. living conditions, families living and may shift tax shelters are struggling with cold and hunger. the chatty cat says trucks loaded with food parcels, medical supplies and shelter, was scheduled to arrive in guides of the coming in the coming weeks, but had been stopped by israel. your pin ministers, one is around located risks, violating international humanitarian law. let's speak to,

i'll just here is honey. my motors in gaza city for is what has this brocade meant for the people of guys, a 100 well list started off by these payments that were issued by the united nations and other organizations working to help and to provide assistance for people across the god forbid what's going on with the law? i gave them these further restrictions on day 3 of the trucks felt would be critical supplies in human history. and it is a violation of international law and a violation of the need. that conventions is a, it's a policy of a total of the collective punishment of everyone here. but so far on the front, we can see they talk to radiate. this is the fix they in a role without any 80 trucks coming in and reducing the market. the leaning from many of the basic basic goods such as the water emitted

fuel, hoping oil are running out of the of the markets or whatever available of it is only available at the very triple amount that is not sufficient enough to meet the reader needs. caused by months of devastation and months of enforce the i ration and spar vision and famine across the gaza strip and whatever is available. natalie . just a small amount, but it's too expensive for family to haven't been on proper payroll for the past 16 months, due to the collapse of the public sectors as well as the private sector. the majority of people rely on a part proven meals. the are prepared by the w. c. kitchen and other organizations, particularly at this month of all from about the market. it started on the 1st base of the fasting months, forcing many people so far, not only for them to live in some very shelters entered into a difficult life, but now they are forced to break their fast and whatever is available in the market

and what the whatever is available in the market is not enough, or it's just kind of fordable for many of them for medical supplies are sitting on the other side of the golf for baseband size because they really put more friction and completely hold the entry of many of, of these of trucks to get in just leaving an entire population go hungry, few miles away from the crossing on. honey, thank you so much for your reporting. that's all just here's honey. my mode in gaza city. a living on finance minister has sold anja 0 and the government has not secure enough funds to rebuild after last year's war between israel and has the law the wells bank estimates law system on so at least 6 point $5000000000.00 i was just here is in a hold of reports, and one of the villages destroyed along the border with his route. some have returned to southern lebanon, but there is little life here. this is

a region devastated by war. pm is one of dozens of villages along the border with this route. and like others, nearly everything has been destroyed in more than a year of fighting between israel and has been la. hi kenneth. oh, we'll go fish. well, i lost his home in business. he set up a small kiosk in the place of his cafe to survive. and while the database, you know, the situation is horrible, most homes, a totally destroyed. we still haven't begun to do anything. i can't imagine anything will be rebuilt before 5 years. the most buildings are beyond repair, people need support to rebuild the world bank estimates, direct losses to amount to at least $6500000000.00. it's a similar figure for indirect losses. lebanon doesn't have that money, nor has it yet secured it from its donors. the world bank is trying to help

establish and get fund of $1000000000.00. he will within $250000000.00 as a, as a, as a loan and said that $50000000.00 he wouldn't work or collecting from donors. the reconstruction can begin without substantial international support. the scale of the destruction here is worse than the last conflict between as well and has the law in 2006 and back then the international community, in particular, arab countries were quick to help with reconstruction money. this time it's different. there are no blank checks. the international community is demanding, has the laws full disarmament. there are already efforts to clump down on the group sources of funding. left and onto new administration says it is committed to its obligations. we have a lot of with this already, so that's south east, north of the. so you don't expect that we are now going to be able to the minute,

you know, in short, the, to stop the doing everything at the same time but, but the assistants can come soon enough. this is a society reeling from years of an economic and political crisis, a fish, as a fishy mass of the i'm gonna, i can't afford to fix the gloss in our house and it's co account by fuel for heat. my children sleep cold and no one has come forward to help us. but even before the war 11 on was already a broken country, said uncle, they're else rosita, tim, southern lebanon. the still ahead on algebra. and tony chang on the board with north korea. china. it looks to expand its fear of them the the

was a rise of something like 20 degrees in temperature. the last few days in bulgaria and the romania spring appears to be arriving in your spring for spain has meant rain heavy rain once again, then the se, in most of the province, they are off. we've got widespread funding. yeah. and it's not the end of it. i'm afraid it's not in any part of spain, nor indeed portugal is going to be hit. there's another storm gathering, but for vice versa. ignore iberia if and there is room and sunday for the most part we edging in with mild that when the cloudy sometimes sherry weather for the space in the british house, i'm positive scandinavia. but again, that's a contrast to a week or so ago. just look at these temperatures in the high tv, in the low twenty's, from romania up to the baltic states and it was freezing on the last week. but as i said, you know, the various things are changing again, this volt, right in, coming in. it's a very active system coming through portugal into spain during such a day. and this is already a warning at the snow impulse of the hard ground to porch gordon the inland spain.

we are still co dot from that point of view, but reading is the main problem and it will produce yet more funding. possibly not only unless you maybe further into august as well, and the cost of it will spell it. we go back to fraud and have some of that will spill over invention, to morocco and g area. and at the same time, it's reading that it, libya, the the, or you're watching out a 0. a reminder of our top story is at least 15. people have been killed in syria and fighting between government soldiers and fighters, loyal to austin, president bush on his side. it happened in the northwest, and the former leaders are based on the mediterranean coast. us and ukrainian officials are due to meeting saudi arabian next week for toxeme that ending the war

on ukraine present. donald trump says both russia and ukraine have no choice but to sign at the stand and, and is really brocade on guys that has entered 6 de preventing all supplies and humanitarian aid from reaching out as to the ends in need. price of say it's having di, a consequences now dissolved korea, where a court has ordered impeach, president, use, he'll kill to be released from prison. supporters of gather outside the detention center news. so where he's being held in was arrested in january on charges of interaction in connection with his decision to became martial law in december. that spring, you not corresponding drunk. mcbride, who's in? so for a, so on what grounds, rob, did the court decide or the release of present to you and so kill yeah, the court ruling that said this and the continued detention is unjustified. we're still waiting to see the weather. this will indeed mean

a human being freed from detention late to today a friday he's been held in this detention center so a little over 50 days ever since he was arrested in the middle of january. and that was after right for track did stand off 5 between investigators and also the presidential body guard at his official residence eventually being taken into custody, protecting into detention. his lawyer is always argued that 8. so as to continue detention was illegal that the president's office has a welcome. this decision. so have the political colleagues in the ruling people, palace pots eights, but we're waiting to see whether or not the prosecutors will appeal against it. if they do appeal against this decision, then his detention will continue into next week, at least. and this isn't the end of his naval travel strong. what more lies the head for the beach president i mean for the whole country of this

political crisis as seems to roll along. we have protests every day in the streets of sold by pro you and supporters and also his opponents. you and himself is facing various court cases. his criminal case has just got underway being charged with insurrection at a different court. the constitutional code, they have finish the hearings now into whether to uphold is the impeachment by the national assembly. they could return a decision at the end of the deliberations within the coming week. from thank you very much for that. rob mcbride lived there in sol and south korea's military has suspended live fire exercises after a civilian area was mistaken. the bombed to 5 to just dropped 8 surface to miss size on the ton of put you on near the border with north korea. on thursday, the defense vegas, reconfirmed 15 civilians and 14 soldiers were injured. people gather, been sold to demand a permanent hold to military trails in the area. china

is pushing as well as a piece broke with for him is or wong the promising to safe gone global peace and stability. he made the comments at the national people's congress in badging, and although he didn't specifically mentioned the united states, he warned the law of the jungle could retain tony trying report some done don't on the board or with north korea of the broken bridge on the river the border between north career and china, a memorial to the last time chinese and american troops faced each other in battle, the bridge partially destroyed by american bombs in 1951 with the trump administration, openly talking about this trip from china. this consent, tensions could return for china as foreign minister was keen to say his country was committed to global peace and security when he addressed gen lists on friday. imagine if every country emphasized the own priority and

a belief in strength and his status. the world would fall back into the law of the jungle. small on a written countries would bear the brunt and the international reviews and the order will be viewing attacked. on the war and ukraine minister one e judge, those involved to reach an equal, incurable peace saying no country should build its security on the in security of another. and when i asked about you as president donald trump's plan to take care of the gaza, you said china supported egypt plan for reconstruction of the strip. heading. the priority is where a lot of things cease fire and an increase in humanitarian aid. after a month, the global diplomatic turbulence, it was a performance designed to reassure if china is willing to play that them, that role that the us used to play, then because the kind of a, an asian order emerging out of this, chaos and confusion,

interprets and disruptions and in that's international order, it could be a sure let, and could be undefended underwritten by china. not the china would be relying on stuff power alone. an increase in military spending will allow it to expand and enhance its capabilities abroad. and territorial flash points remain on taiwan and in the south china sea. but china has many more friends today and it had in 1950 so many years this bread stretching across into north korea was the main axis of chinese diplomatic influence. today that sole change chinese trade links and influence stretch all across the globe. and this, the united states supposed to withdrawal. china is more than ready to step in a thick mist while as up the banks of the river is china repairs to be positioning itself. as a bridge across the troubled diplomatic waters, tony chang al jazeera and the northeastern china. tensions at the main border

crossing between pakistan and afghanistan have for several 1000 people to flee. the area they took on crossing is an important transit point and has been shot since february 21st. that follows a dispute over the construction of a new off gun border post tomorrow hire is that the tool come crossing and has this update the rest the budget are still close for the last few days, both sides i've been exchanging and committed fire and therefore the tension is running high, but as you can see behind me, there are hundreds of other on truckers who are stuck on the side of the border. they've got cardboard on board. most of the british about god. good. i've had to go back because they were being wasted. however, things like cement per day doors. other commodities are still uh, bog, near the border there waiting for some good news for the border to reopen. but

these people have been on the. busy road and waiting on the road side for almost 2 weeks now. and i've got the tensions that are also having an economic gosh. because on a daily basis both countries are losing about $3000000.00 a day. the economic. what is that also? the fact that because of the fact that bug is done and when it's done, is it going to means that in bad shape? a lot of people depend on this thread. it has the economy about $900000000.00 plus dollars of cardboard. go from bug, it's done over $600000000.00 worth of cardboard. come from of run, it's done, but add them. so it's going to uh, hug bought the economy that read not to of, forget the fact that the water of the words, the water ward, shari and escalated between the 2 countries. with both sides play being a drug, the people living in australia and parts of the east coast there have been told to

cycle in it we're on the west coast are led by private sector american space companies. fireflies blue ghost is already begun its work. i'm thinking it's intuitive machine. second lander is on the moon, but it's controllers are still assessing exactly where one and whether the craft is standing upright. we think that we've been very successful to this point. however, i do have to tell you that we don't believe we're in the correct attitude on the surface of the moon. yet again, when china successfully landed on the moon in 2013, no country had been there in nearly 40 years. they landed on the near and far sides launched rovers and sent samples back to earth. but the last few years have seen a rapid acceleration, india and japan, but their own craps on the moon. and now the private race is on as a wave of companies with public partnerships arrive all at once,

each with new capabilities. japan is next. it's land or is expected to arrive in june. this is the regular cadence of michigan. so we're going to have one or 2 per year where we can just access those services. but.
