cnn's team in the capital of damascus heard strikes in the early hours of monday morning after the fall of assad's regime. it's not immediately clear who carried out those strikes. allahu akbar allahu akbar on sunday, the leader of the rebel forces in damascus delivered his first public remarks since their takeover of the country. abu mohammad al-jolani says defeating the assad regime is a, quote, victory for the entire islamic nation. syrian state tv celebrated the fall of president bashar al-assad on the evening news hours after he was overthrown by welcome. >> after 50 years of injustice under baath party rule and 13 years of crime, tyranny and displacement, and after a prolonged struggle in the face of all facets of the occupiers forces, the operations unit of the military leadership announced today, december 8th,

2024. the end of this dark era and the beginning of a new era for syria. hello to our viewers a source tells cnn that assad, a key ally to vladimir putin, fled to moscow with his family where they were granted asylum after the rebels took the capital. >> they said they were actively searching for assad. some of the fighters, along with civilians, were seen ransacking his official residences. syrians around the world are celebrating the end of assad's regime in parts of lebanon, turkey libya and greece. they held up the rebel flag marking the beginning of a new era well, us president joe biden called the collapse of the assad regime a, quote, fundamental act of justice. he also offered a blueprint for how the u.s. plans to support the middle east in this moment of instability in remarks from the white house on sunday, he said he plans to engage with syrian groups as the country

transitions toward a new government. but biden warned that the u.s. will remain vigilant and closely watch the rebel group's actions. he also vowed to protect us troops in the region and continue their mission against isis we'll support syria's neighbors, including jordan, lebanon iraq and israel should any threat arise from syria during this period of transition. >> i will speak with leaders of the region in the comingp that assad's ouster, hayat tahrir al-sham, or hts, is a former al qaeda affiliate that's been designated as a foreign terrorist group by the us, united nations and several other countries. the group is led by abu mohammad al-julani.

the us has placed a $10 million bounty on him a senior us official says that significant portions of al gilani's group maintain strong links to isis al-julani addressed the terrorist charges against him and tass in an exclusive interview recently with cnn's jomana karadsheh people listening to this are going to wonder why they should believe you. >> you are still a specially designated global terrorist by the united states with a $10 million bounty on your head, your group is a proscribed terrorist organization by the united states, by the un, by the eu, and others. >> now i say to people, don't judge by words, but by actions i believe the reality speaks for itself. these classifications are primarily political and at the same time wrong u.s. >> forces conducted airstrikes

on more than 75 isis targets in syria on sunday. a pentagon official says f-15 fighter jets, a-10s and b-52 bombers targeted isis leaders, operatives and camps. the strikes were part of an ongoing mission to disrupt degrade and defeat isis and to make sure it doesn't try to reconstitute itself amid the instability in syria and israel's prime minister has ordered troops to seize the buffer zone that separates the israeli occupied golan heights from the rest of syria. they've begun using heavy equipment to reinforce an engineering barrier in that buffer zone, benjamin netanyahu went to the golan heights and said israel's presence in the zone will be temporary this is a historic day for the middle east the collapse of the assad regime, the tyranny in damascus offers great opportunity, but also is fraught with

significant dangers. >> one of them is the collapse of the separation of forces agreement from 1974 between israel and syria. this agreement, held for 50 years last night it collapsed the syrian army abandoned its positions. we gave the israeli army the order to take over this positions to ensure that no hostile force embeds itself right next to the border of israel this is a temporary defensive position until a suitable arrangement is found joining us now is cnn's paula hancocks joining us live from abu dhabi. >> so paula, what is the latest on what's happening inside syria? right now well, rosemary, we've certainly been seeing scenes of celebration of jubilation in damascus and in many of the cities across syria as residents come to terms with the fact that more than 50 years of brutal assad

dictatorship is over. >> there are concerns we have been hearing them voiced by those on the ground. but at this immediate moment the the scenes of jubilation and the feeling of relief appears to be prevalent. now we've seen images of celebrations in the street, also of some of the residents of bashar al assad being ransacked in damascus. we've seen images of children going into these these former residents, the palaces and we've also seen images of people coming out carrying furniture. so certainly some of the the looting has been happening within assad's residence itself but the celebration is the most immediate reaction that we are seeing. and it's not just in syria, given the fact that millions of syrians had to flee during the the brutal crackdown after 2011, and they are in a number

of different countries around the world, we have seen celebrations in those countries. we spoke to one syrian in london i can't speak for all syrian people but i can confidently say the majority of syrian people probably didn't think this was going to happen in the not even in their dream. >> so it's very surreal. and i think the happiness is shared amongst all syrians, all around the world um obviously we're also seeing less and less presence of bashar al-assad in syria. >> we're seeing posters being pulled down and burned. we're seeing statues of his father being toppled as well. so there really is an effort across the country to to wipe away any reminder of this, this brutal dictatorship. now, we have heard as you said, rosemary, from the hts leader abu mohammad al-julani, and he did

try and sound a conciliatory note to all minorities within syria. there are obviously concerns that that some minorities may not be represented, may even be targeted within syria. but we heard from al-julani saying it's a new chapter in the history of the region and saying it is a victory for the entire islamic nation. so certainly when it comes to what he is saying it is a message of of conciliation and a message for all syrians. he says. >> rosemary and paula what's been the response in the region to these fast moving events in syria and what's being said about this in the united states well, we're certainly seeing every country in the region watching very closely indeed to see if there is going to be any repercussion. >> most notably those that that

share a border with syria when it comes to the united states. we did see the the u.s. president, joe biden give his blueprint. his idea of a future syria, saying that the united states would be supporting this push for for reconciliation, for, for democracy. but also pointing out that isis is still going to be their primary target within syria. there are u.s. troops in syria that have been targeting isis for some time. in fact, some 75 plus isis targets were struck by the united states on sunday as damascus was falling. so we hear from the u.s. president. that is the main concern. let's listen to what else he said and i want to say it again, sovereign syria with a new constitution, a new government that serves all syrians. >> and this process will be determined by the syrian people themselves and the united states will do whatever we can to support them including

through humanitarian relief to help restore syria. after more than a decade of war and generations of brutality by the assad family but a senior us official does say that there are concerns that significant proportions portions of hts may still have some links to isis. >> rosemary. >> all right. our thanks to paula hancocks joining us live from abu dhabi. well russia has requested an urgent private meeting of the un security council in the coming hours in response to the collapse of the assad regime in syria. moscow is also concerned for their own assets. still, there specifically military bases and diplomatic institutions state media reports. syrian rebels have guaranteed those will remain safe and that russia hopes for continued dialog. it's unknown how those talks will go given the close relationship between ousted

president bashar al assad and russian president vladimir putin. iran's foreign ministry is weighing in on the unfolding events in syria iran, another key backer of assad, says it will respect syria's sovereignty and territorial integrity, but not without some caveats our interaction with the group that took over syria will depend on their behavior on what policy will they adopt against the islamic republic of iran, what policy will they have against the syrian shiites? >> what will be the distance between them and the zionist regime what will be the distance between them and the terrorist groups, and how will they behave? >> meanwhile, the iranian ambassador to syria warns that the fallout from the collapse of assad's regime could spark a conflict involving regional countries and turkey that will be beyond american control well, joining us now live from london is fawaz gerges, a professor at the london school

of economics and the author of what really went wrong. the west and the failure of democracy in the middle east thank you so much for talking with us so what concerns or hopes do you have about syria's future now that bashar al-assad's regime has fallen and the rebel forces are in control? and what needs to happen next i mean this is a moment of hope for the syrian people. >> syrians are rejoicing in their new freedom after five decades of a brutality and dictatorship by the assad family. so i, i think we should really appreciate the depth of the syrian people joy and the sense of finally, they can breathe. uh syria, i think, could go two ways. uh sadly and

tragically. and i hope i am wrong. it could really descend into all out social political and ethnic conflict. uh, similar to what happened in yemen after the arab spring uprisings and similar to what happened in libya and other places. the other way. and i hope that syria will travel this way is to begin the process of healing to establish an inclusive, diverse uh, functioning government that tackles the vast challenges facing syria. i mean, syria has a broken economy uh, deep scars 300,000 people have been killed since the war started in 2011. 500,000 people injured. you have 6 million refugees? no trust. the various communities are very anxious about the future. so there are huge challenges facing syria and the syrian people. and i hope that

the rough coalition of the opposition basically begin the process of laying out a government that takes into account the aspirations and the fears, uh, of the syrian people. >> the white house is focusing on next steps in syria. president joe biden says the key objectives will be to support syria's neighbors prevent isis from reconstituting itself and to promote the un backed transition to an independent syria. what is your reaction to president biden's approach compared to that of president elect donald trump, who says this is not america's fight? so the u.s. should not get involved well, as you know margaret, president trump wanted to pull out american forces in syria at the last year of his presidential terms. >> they are about 1000 american troops on the iraqi, syrian borders. so we know exactly.

president trump said there is nothing in syria, only death and dust. he really doesn't care about syria, about the middle east. well, he doesn't really care about anyone except himself but, uh, president biden obviously, he is very much concerned about the transitional period in syria he wants a diverse government. he wants an inclusive government. he wants to make sure that hayat tahrir al-sham led by abu mohammed al-jolani accepts a kind of a an inclusive government does not really establish an islamic emirate similar to what happened in afghanistan. and he's very much concerned about the resurgence of isis just in the past 24 hours, the united states carried out about 75 bombings of targets of isis. so there is the likelihood, the risks that isis could use this particular transitional moment to basically go on the offensive.

all in all, i think the most important point, president biden really made was that the united states will work with the united nations in order to really help syria transition to a new moment, a moment of hope. remember margaret, american sanctions on syria in the past few years have pauperized the syrian people have pauperized even the followers of assad 80% of the syrian people require humanitarian aid. so lifting the american sanctions working with the united nations could really help syria and the syrian people to overcome the vast and challenging economic conditions facing the syrian people. >> fawaz gerges thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it after the break donald trump discusses political enemies and pardons in his first major tv interview since last month's election.

called the collapse of the assad regime a moment of risk and opportunity. he also offered a blueprint for how the u.s. plans to support the middle east. in remarks from the white house on sunday, president biden vowed to protect us troops in the region and continue the mission against isis after ordering the israeli military to take control of a buffer zone abandoned by syrian forces. benjamin netanyahu sought to reassure the world that it was a temporary measure. he said it's needed to ensure the safety of communities in the occupied golan heights, and citizens of israel. he also said he extended the hand of peace to those in syria who seek to live in peace with israel. the rebels are in charge now as syria enters an era of uncertainty. i spoke to cnn political and national security analyst david sanger and asked him what comes next in terms of leadership in syria

we've seen the rule of the assad family for more than half a century and it's been brutal and in the syrian civil war by the un's estimates in 2021. >> so a bit outdated already 580,000 people have been killed hundreds of thousands injured, millions displaced. so no one is going to shed a tear, rosemary, for assad being in exile in moscow, which is where the russians say he has ended up tonight but that leaves open the question of who's going to rule the country and the lead rebel group that, uh was behind this was known a number of years ago as al qaeda in syria they have since said that they

transformed themselves, and they are no longer sunni hard line al qaeda adherents, much more of nationalist tendencies. other rebel groups joined who have differing views as well. so the question is, can these terror groups with leaders who are on the u.s. terrorism list? uh bounties on their head actually turn around and govern saudi arabia is affirming its support for syria and says it is satisfied with the positive steps taken to ensure the syrian people's safety. >> the kingdom's statement comes after russian, turkish and iranian foreign ministers met in doha on saturday. they were together trying to find a political solution to the syrian conflict. they expressed concern for the syrian people, even as events on the ground move forward. at an unexpected pace. turkey is

particularly concerned about potential refugees millions of syrians have sought refuge in other countries since the civil war began in 2011. the majority have settled in turkey. nearly 3 million more than 7 million are internally displaced and we go now live to damascus where i'm joined by the icrc head of delegation in syria, stephane leon. appreciate you joining us good morning. so what will the fall of the assad regime mean for the already dire humanitarian situation in syria well, at the current moment, what we can say is that as as you rightly remarked that the situation in syria was already extremely dire in humanitarian terms. >> so there is a lot of uncertainty about what's coming next. um here in damascus, there is a certain normalcy or return to the calm

that happened since yesterday, which was quite a hectic day, but a lot of questions are remaining among the population. um, is it safe to move and to, to to to, to go to hospital or to possibly soon send children to school? is it possible for humanitarian organizations like the icrc to carry out their emergency operations, for example bringing urgent medical aid to some hospitals who are in high demand is it possible to have access to basic commodities? the prices are going very, very high for the past days, with the high level of inflation up to 40% for some very basic items. and of course, is it possible to move across the country because many places are still affected by frontlines? uh ongoing hostilities, problems of law and order. and there is a lot of question marks that, uh, still remain among the population. >> so what what are the greatest needs for the syrian

people? right now? and what level of help do they need and how much are they actually getting at this time well, first and foremost, i think it's very important to remind that in such a situation, there is a call to all the parties in the country to ensure that the civilian population is respected because safety is not back in all the places of syria. >> and we we really call on all parties to, to respect the civilian population, to protect the civilian population, to ensure its movements in the safest possible way. there are huge movements of population. as i speak. and of course, we call all parties also to maintain the continuity of public services of hospitals of schools, of water and electricity facilities. so all these need to continue, although we are in a kind of transition moment in a moment of many unknowns we also call, of course, uh, to have all humanitarian organizations

granted access. when you ask me about the needs yesterday, we received here in damascus, many calls from some hospitals, from health facilities asking for urgent delivery of medication and emergency medical items because of the situation, it was not possible to deliver because there was no safety for the organization to move and and reach these hospitals. but we need to make sure that safety is restored, that movements are granted, and that humanitarian organizations have the possibility to move goods and people to deliver on the most emergency needs. >> and what are your main concerns as the country works through this massive shift from bashar al-assad to a new leadership? whatever that ends up looking like, whatever it ends up being well, uh, there is a lot of questions, as i said, that that will have to be uh, to be answered and that we will have to, to monitor in the coming days. >> but as i said, just before the country is not back to

normal they are still, for example on the in the coastal areas of tartus and latakia uh, some problems of law and order. and as long as security will not prevail, it will be very difficult for the population to go back to some kind of normalcy, let alone for the humanitarians to try to deliver on their mission. if we look at the north and the northeast of the country, there are still ongoing hostilities between different groups and it will be difficult in such conditions for the people, for example, to go back home a lot of people are willing to go back home or to move from one region to another, and it is not safe yet to do so um, there is, of course another problem, which is, as i said, the resumption of the public services. we need to ensure that public services essential and critical infrastructures are not only spared but can function so all this will require the different parties to the conflict to find some arrangements to comply with their obligations under international humanitarian law

and to, of course, let humanitarian organizations work, which is very difficult for the moment due to the uncertainties about both safety but also pipelines, routes and possibilities to move goods and people around the country. >> stefan sarkisian, thank you so much for talking with us we appreciate it. >> you're most welcome thank you for having me. >> absolutely. >> well, some syrians rushed to the notorious sednaya prison in damascus on sunday searching for their loved ones after rebel fighters stormed the prison and released all the detainees. videos show hundreds of men shuffling out of the overcrowded prison known for its inhumane conditions. the rebels were seen breaking down walls with sledgehammers after finding prison cells that appear to be hidden. a 2023 report by the united nations human rights council detailed quote, widespread and systematic patterns of torture and cruel inhuman or degrading

highest grossing tour of all time believed to have made an estimated $2.2 billion, and sara chapelle is the fashion writer and creator of the blog taylor swift. style. she joins me now from vancouver. sara, you were at the final show in this record breaking eras tour. how was it? how did swift end this run? >> it was an absolutely incredible final run for taylor's monumental and incredibly historic eras tour. >> i live in vancouver. i'm a local vancouver author who just wrote a new york times best selling book on taylor's fashion evolution and it was an incredible honor to be able to see the artistic feat that is the eras tour conclude in my backyard. >> so anything special or unique about her final performance in vancouver, do you think? >> um, well there definitely was a lot of filming equipment happening in vancouver during these final run of shows. so whatever she has up her sleeve

that she was filming for this final run of shows, i'm sure that fans around the world can't wait to find out what that is. >> and you have blogged about taylor swift's fashion since 2011, and as you mentioned you've written a book about the various eras of her career. this tour had so many wardrobe changes, didn't it? and stylish looks highlighting each chapter of her musical closet so how has she married fashion with her music? and what does her look say about each era for sure. >> so ever since the beginning of her career, taylor has used both her lyrics and her fashion to communicate a message there. the two communication tools that she has, the greatest amount of control over her lyrics are obviously this emotional evocation for fans to hear her story, but her fashion is really what brings it to life and we see that play out on the eras tour as she goes through each of the eras that have defined her entire career the eras tour does such an incredible job of really

demonstrating the visual legacy of her entire, you know, career defining discography up on that stage and she does so beautifully through so many stunning high end designer costumes from versace and roberto cavalli and, you know, beyond and she does such an incredible job at epitomizing the evolution not only of her career musically, but also fashion wise and all the different versions of herself that she's been over all of her eras. >> yes. and as you've been speaking with us, we've been looking at some of those images is just incredible. and you, of course, have built a community with your blog posts on taylor's fashion. and as you know swifties, they're quite an incredible group. they want to know everything about their favorite singer and rely on you for some of that information. what's it like for you to be part of this journey with a legion of fans and how were you received on her tour stops? >> oh it's been an absolute

incredible honor. i've been a fan of taylor's music myself since i was since 2006, so taylor's music has been the soundtrack to over half of my life. so i come at this documenting her fashion and writing this book from a unique perspective of both journalists and reporter, but also as a genuine lifelong fan. and i really hope that comes across in all aspects of my work, both online and of course, in this book. and fashion is such a pivotal way that swifties can kind of communicate our fandom to one another in silent ways. you go to these concerts and you just see, you know miles upon miles of sequins and sparkles and smiles and joy and we're all, you know this one giant community, and you're able to spot one another across a room and that's through fashion, which is such an incredible expression of identity. and the things that we're most passionate about. and in this case, that's obviously taylor. >> yeah. and it is this

giant community, isn't it? can you put the heiress tour into historical context? just how massive was it and what's next for taylor swift? how could she possibly top this? >> the thing about taylor is that i think that she will always forge her own path. she always has, ever since the beginning. so whatever is next for her, i'm sure is going to be exactly where she needs to be and that fans can't wait for that next step in her journey, that next era for her. but for sure, i think taylor's music obviously brings us all together. that emotional aspect of things. but her fashion and the visual legacy that she's left behind, you know, the reclamation of girlhood and celebrating it through her visuals is something that i think so many of us find joy in and want to embrace and want to lean in. and it's this opportunity with the eras tour to be able to truly be the embodiment of that joy and of that celebration. i can't

understate the magnitude that is the eras tour economically for every city that she is stopped in emotionally, for every single fan who's been lucky enough to be able to attend, myself included tonight and all three nights of the vancouver show dates, but also for taylor herself as well. in terms of career spanning number of songs included in a show length of show and you know, number of designers and costumes utilized. she's never worn this many costumes and costume variations for a single tour, and it's been a pleasure for me to document it both online through taylor swift style and in my book, taylor swift style. >> well done indeed. sarah chapell thank you so much for talking with us. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> and thank you for your company. i'm rosemary church. have yourselves a wonderful day. cnn newsroom continues next with max foster in london
