8:03 pm
a thought. so as they requested the question to bring, see we got a strategic, very important country back to the a result and to make sure that the arabs themselves have some say and influence their then the different problems in the region. we have the refugee crisis. we have a cup that go in markets being smuggled. this is and i'm set to mean that it's being flagged from the student of a nice border for jordan to the gulf region. it's a 1000000000 dollar business, controlled and used by the us talk to zoom so they want to make. they want to start to control this business with the sondra z and in the end, and basically it's a so the success of so the diplomacy saying that, you know, they want to take care of the problems within the arab region. and this needs for child also to be at the table. 20 some issues now aside, spoke earlier. um, what did you make of his remarks to the league? well, obviously he is aiming at financial support. he wants to, he needs to rebuild syria. he wants to develop syria, this is what he said,
8:04 pm
and he has high expectations, especially towards the saudi and the other goals countries. now, it's interesting because may be in the and he will even set conditions for his coat, for his own cooperation. concerning the rest of the problem and the kept going smug at, you know, while in the 1st place it should have been the arab league setting conditions for the re admittance of student. so he asked for financial support of leslie and she sent this coming message that is very popular within the region right now saying that, you know, we have a new world order. we has a multiple, a work order. we have to be effective plug is within this a by region. and if you, we, you, and it's a kind of the, the arrow peak as well. and being a strong play, you know, following their own interest. the error of interest confronting even a took its influence even mention the ottoman empire. and which is interesting because because these at the same time trying to establish some channels to come up . but this means that, you know,
8:05 pm
it's back to the arab nationalists times. it sounds very much is what we hear. some of the kids go, you know, calling for a united approach and united way of dealing with within this new world order. would you say that this is a huge victory for aside and, and how does this leave folders within syria who are obviously against aside? well, it's very, a big try him for himself. definitely. he controls 2 thirds of syria. by now, we have the north areas that are controlled by turkey. proxies by is limis groups. we have a region in north sea. we have controlled by a jihad effects and highest custody of the shot. h t s. and we have in the northeast occurred as autonomous regions that is very much at risk because if the future tucker's presidents reconciles with outside, they will ask him to take control over the north east as well. so definitely it's a high wind for him within the country, but what he needs, as they cannot make help, he needs money. and unless this money comes into the country,
8:06 pm
he cannot deliver very much. and basically he will use this money for his own rule and not as much to take care of the people. so as you get closer to those opponents, that were just mentioning that also you're told might be economic elements. he remains under sanctions as well from not only at the west, but also the arab league itself. right. so i've today are we possibly going to be seeing that those sanctions will be lifted while he is only on the st just by the west. we have the u. s, and we have the your opinion that is still keeping these sanctions in place. we have in the u. s. we have the efforts to even make these things as broad don't under the so called caesar act. so they will try to even sanction governments and companies that will now deliver financial aid to the same vision which could stop the solely engagement the aside is hoping for basically, so an indian, i mean, what does the u. s? especially is trying to do is they try to limit this normalization to process to
8:07 pm
a politic a fee and to make it the symbolic victoria rather than real. i'm a nomic victory for us thought that would. so the string some his position within the country. what is very much puzzling for the rescue teeth within the area is this. normally they shouldn't because they are very much afraid of being forcibly deported back to syria. and we have seen this live. and then we have seen this even in turkey. so there is a high fear amongst 2 investigators and we're talking about 7 1000000 refugees. we have left the country. so they are really being afraid of, you know, the, the local governments could use this normalization process, fulfilled the cooperation with a security ether racist within the student government and their students will continue speaking in, in just a moment. but at ukraine's the mirrors the landscape also attended the meeting, as i mentioned before. so that's actually listening to what he told the delegates. you granules has never shows in the word our throats didn't go to other lands. we do not engage in next season's
8:08 pm
plunder of other nice us resources, but we will never submit to any for, and there's or colonizers, that's why we fight. and i'm sure all your nations will understand these our main emotion. and i'm also sure all your nations will understand the main goal. i want to live here in get on an oval call to all of you to help protect our people, including you create in mosley community. were here in studio with kristen, how berg, journalist and author has worked in syria for 7 years. and we've been discussing the issue of syria and that was a landscape there has been calling for uh, we'll say supports at from the league. and. busy many countries we'll say have,
8:09 pm
who are there, how are and taking sides in the conflict? why is that? they are trying to stay neutral because they consider this was a real pain problem. they are saying we have had our own conflicts, the new try to influence. no, you are having your will. we will not take sides because we want to make sure that we can make our own alliances with world powers and global powers that. so if that one interest, we're talking about china, we're talking about russia and they see especially specifically china and russia as important count the weights to westland, influence in the region. so they're saying we are not long or listening to orders from washington. we are no longer just following western interest for the policy. we are having all own independence dance within this. you multi multi letter world order. fine at the same time, which is interesting this, this ukraine war has affected the region. very defensive. we have countries who have benefited from the war immensely talking about high oil and gas prices, which means the saudi arabian, the gulf countries that you a, has benefit
8:10 pm
a lot from the, from this war. while at the same time of us for very much egypt and live in the for example, from the high inflation rates, high prices. so now what we're seeing is sealants, good tony, to the global self beginning in the arab. well, it's trying to make his point asking for more support, but i very much doubt that he will get these areas, especially the goals countries will feel very of useful because of their financial power to take sides. they will make sure that they will balance the foreign policy as they just did during the last few years. they will listen to this. they condemned the aggressive of russia, but they will not take for the sides, although they will not isolate dresser, they will not join sanctions against russia. no. so maybe no new support and for the landscape from the lead you think? um, verbal uh supports definitely you know, diplomatic support. you know, a lot of a warm boards and talking, but i don't think that they would go that far like following sentence against washer or, you know, helping ukraine with weapons or some payment unless they don't want to take 5 in
