mariana evans, dean, welcome, revel fighters have taken over most of syria's 2nd biggest city of a level that's according to the syrian observatory for human rights, which is now reporting that russian air strikes are underway for the 1st time in a to years heavy fighting between the mostly islamist rebels and government forces has been reported across the city. syria's military says is inflicted heavy losses on the rebels who have been advancing on a level for days. reval fighters were seen celebrating the city with hundreds of people reported, killed the escalation and fighting is some of the deadliest in years. and it comes after weeks of simmering violence as now take a look at the groups involved in the offensive and why it's happening now. major fighting erupt again in serious civil war. a day after staging the surprise attack

on government held positions in the north. the rebels moved on to a level showing the city of the syrian state media said the army backed by its power. russia responded with strikes on and searching positions and a lot of it blip country sides. the syrian army says the assault is being led by the high yachts, a tough theater are shown for h t. s a militant group which controls much of northwest and syria. the i t. s is led by, i'll tell you this form of syria branch. it consists of multiple different and searching groups, some with the seller 1st and jihad is spelled yellow, geez, maybe reject the influence of foreign forces, such as turkey, russia or the united states. but others approved. it's a complicated coalition, but what does unify them is their opposition to syria liter busha assad? government has been displaced for 5 years. but thank god, i'm not fighting to reclaim on land from the great the criminal regime. we will

persevere on this policy and call on young people to join us in the struggle to take back our country as long as i don't own shallow. since 2020 the h t n. signs of a ripple groups have been mostly paced and the blood province area was subject to a turkey and rush. it broke a truce, but outside of it lived, there were large pots of syria still controlled by rebels. opposed to assets government, including along the border with the rock. us spect curtis forces maintain large parts of the north and turkey, along with the syrian national army control a so called buffers on along the tuckers border with the offensive. the rebels may be trying to capitalize on the of the complex currency writing elsewhere with assets. highlight your run, reading from israel's defensive on hezbollah and 11 on and with rushes resources stretched with a tour and ukraine. but the offensive and the syrian government's response has left

many civilians in the following line. groups of refugees have been sling the fighting, heading to shelters and the blood province. and the thing is that what have the all of the people started leaving, but we stayed until the morning. but as i was preparing breakfast for my children, a plane flew overhead. as soon as we saw it, we ran into a visit to the front of the united nations is calling for an immediate the escalation, and then it came to the most intense fighting northwest and syria has seen indeed earlier i suppose you fall was 0 just he's a professor of middle eastern politics and international relations at the london school of economics. and i asked him how this could develop over the coming days and weeks. it's really very surprising. what surprises me, the most is the vendor ability. is the government, a venerable? the serial army is, is, is right,

is that tax on the so you ami have really undermine and we can this, are you on the, considerably the president bush all as a allies rush on the wrong p all to find someone else in the ukraine in the killing field of the ukraine in gaza and 11 on. and also what we need to understand is that the revenue seemed to have really pull with less, created a joint military operation rules. and yes, they do have some support. the fact is you're talking about so i was in the rebels, both the slam as naturalist and you have this trouble coming together and really salting the acid regina and the city and ami seems to have been really caught napping yet. it's early it still, eddie. we need to be really cautious about making generalization. the say, an army is mobilizing, i am home is reinforcements are arriving and who knows, they might be able to really use this. and uh, we take uh,

some of the towns and villages, even though what we are seeing is the re igniting of the city and rule that has really never. and it has been simmering for the past 4 years. and which seems to me a very bloody phase. so i was under the place people hundreds of being killed. this is the last thing we need on of the war zone. and then at least after what we have seen in gaza, unloved on an al sweat. and the reason that was fall as a chair has professor a middle eastern politics and international relations at the london school. if he can nomics us. all right, let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news. this our protesters of clash with police and the george and capital to release the for a 2nd night. tens of thousands took to the streets to protest after the ruling georgia, dream parties suspended, accession talks with the european union 7th graders say the party has become authoritarian and is drawing georgia closer to russia. part of kosovo could lose

electricity due to an explosion at a crucial water canal. cost of those prime minister of in course the has blamed the incident on neighboring serbia and called it a terrorist attack. the damage, canals supplies water to cooling systems of 2 main coal fired power plants. serbia has not yet commented on via allegation. well, russia's invasion of ukraine has raised questions over civil defense here in germany. the government is working to increase the number of bunkers available to protect the population. if the country comes under attack, existing shelters could only how's a tiny fraction of any targeted population. in the event of 4, this is where the german public can seek shelter. the countries, few operational bankers of a room for up to $480000.00 people, less than one percent of the population. yes, the moment is, if it's at that,

at the moment we're actually in a poor position fee is there is a lack of both a structural infrastructure and awareness among the population of what can actually happen in an emergency solution that's for like is twin con, the reason for the cure and debate, the latest threat from russia following the firing of a new medium range missiles at the ukranian city of the new po president, letting me approaching certain support as of ukraine was possible missile attacks ever since the start of the war and ukraine, german authorities have been working on a national bank. a plan is tennis. copeland vices like a roughly outline the points, sorry, included in the most systematic possible recording of buildings. there's private properties that can be used as public safe havens and the lots of these could be underground, car parks and subway stations, and basements. we've covered design. one is a cut off. i'm of all of this data will be transferred to an app that enables citizens to determine their nearest place of refuge and digital approach to

everyone agrees with this call lucas. i need ways of continuing to communicate with people and look for him because we know how quickly the internet can fail if the power goes out. for example. since the end of the cold war, a general sense of security has growing in germany, happened to 2007. there were still 2000 public shelters. the german government at the time even decided to dismantle, instead of some of them, bunker's, became museums, and she could taps an increasing number of private individuals. and now thinking about building their own bunkers as it shouldn't been, isn't vocab. it's nice to have a bunker in my garden at home when the air raid happens on sundays. but what do i do when i'm at work at 10 am on a monday, you know, where are 1st come you too for an hour and a half for that's not enough. i've seen him pendant without the tea, a timeframe. the national shelter concept remains a project waiting to be addressed at some point, probably under

a new federal government. well, from war on this, we can speak to dominic with logic. he's a security analyst at the university of framer hoffen here in germany. welcome dominic. so tell us, can germany protect his population in the event of an attack? good morning, um, this question is very tricky. um to uh, to answer the question is what kind of attack if we're talking about in al stripe, for example, a message as strike. germany can protect, by the way, neither could france, the united kingdom, even the united states wouldn't be able to protect that population in kind of a message. ok, i'll strike in this situation in germany. it has become a little bit better because this topic comes into news for years and decades, as we have seen in the report. it was about cutting down the resources and the infrastructure in order to save money. so business change now. never the less i

think it's a general question to we really want to invest so much in to the situation often strike or wouldn't it be better to avoid that the strike happens at all. well, what about the private initiatives? so, you know, individuals building their own personal bunkers. do you think this is a good idea? or could that actually complicate an overall national response? as i don't see a little more complicated. and i'm, i just wonder what they are, what they would do when they come up from that private bunkers and the world has completely changed. so i think it's, it gives them a feeling of protection, but it won't protect them because and how much food will you store there? maybe for 3 weeks or 4 weeks. and then you come up and the world is the and over you. and so over your private bunker,

so it won't complicates that the situation. i think it gives us a wrong feeling of security. and it's good that we, that we have a look. what can we do now with the existing resources by investing a small amount of money? but all the conflicts that we have seen in your show so far, very out of policy now. and all these conflicts are interrelated and the wolf and that we are facing current, the against russia is a hybrid one. so i don't feel that we need to protect from massive nokia as strikes . and i think we could use the existing money for other projects, much more efficient. uh then instead of building bunkers for the day off to the sink, world war that was done when i could launch like a security analyst from the university of grammar hoffen. thank you. so much i as well, france has been putting the finishing touches on no trend um cathedral 5 years after

. it was devastated in a huge fire president. my cronan is calling the rebuilding effort a symbol of national unity. but politically, the country is anything but unified squabbles over the budget are causing worry among investors who appear to believe the government is teetering on the edge of collapse. the goal buffy the rebuilding of nostradamus, the symbol of french revival booked for the government. the foundations of shakia. the honda of the round was prime minister michelle bonnie is proposed $60000000000.00 euros and tax hikes and spending cuts far right and left as parties opposed to move and could go so far as to call a vote of no confidence in the government. this has pushed the french governments cost of borrowing upwards. now effectively matching that of greece for the 1st time, showing investors continuing glory that the french government could be toppled and

reforms derailed. where as greek reforms have brought the cost of borrowing down significantly, the agencies that rate countries, credit worthiness of downgraded fonts, has rating $1.00 such agency fiche, saying high political fragmentation of the minority government complicate fonts, has the ability to deliver on sustainable fiscal consolidation policies pointing towards the steep rise in french government borrowing, whether the government can find a compromise on the budget. one, the opposition would be able to stomach remains on the negotiation. you're watching the w news coming to from berlin. let's get you a reminder now of our top story. a war monitor says rebel fighters have taken over most of syria's 2nd biggest city aleppo. the syrian observatory for human rights also says that russian war planes are targeting the rebels who have been seen celebrating in the city you're up to date on dw

news up next is sports life a marion evans teen. i'll have more headlines for you at the top of the hour from me and the entire news team. thanks for the company. the beautiful my nephew. he read the city. we don't know what to screen or where is mohammed stop? he fled from north any rock and became one of hundreds of migrants who vanish every year. somewhere in the no man's land lines between batteries and refugees become pools in a cru see or come to school config. i'm afraid they'll never see him again.

when oh you lost on the run, stops the send the ac, the dw, the remember the mechanics, the guy has dedicated his life to becoming a foot bonus, but he's had to face some of the toughest challenges imaginable. since arriving in england from if he up here in 2021 has been moved around the country and in and out of temporary housing has twice been forced out on to the streets as anything in the past and looking cause they have. but i'm not the only one, many young people you find them looking cause in many fox waiting, causing this very frustrating. and is it a name in this how the system works?

you have to wait. and then once they give you doing the task that it's more, it has to be by my side. despite being apart from his family and living with constant uncertainty because it keeps the sports at the heart of his life. void, my desire to my everything, making me focus on things that make me focus on my life. his determination is clear, but can someone without a home really make football his life? because his still thinks so and will soon travel to the homeless wills come. he has become used to other coming the toughest challenges. the in 2020, his home city of oddball came and the seats in the civil rule between the c o. p and national defense forces and the t cry, people's liberation front, mckayla and his family revised and is when the will reach the hometown.

we're not ready for this. the disney, what industry can we just do our daily lives then? southern music comes within me, getting more frames that can hello my friend's kid was induced even, whoops. come to me to my mind. so when i remember i couldn't sleep an estimate. it's 600000 people, died in the war, including let us mccain his brothers. and some of his cousins, millions more were displaced. mckinney was one of those who took a perilous crossing from if he up here to europe on the smugglers boat before ending up in the infamous, kindly refuge account, known as the jungle. eventually of to countess attempts to cross the channel to england. it was, uh, it was carrie, i never thought i was going to be out from this that, you know, he explained for this. i can tell you how i would do this as

a backup protection. though he felt he had to take any chance to leave mccain is still long for his homeland. yeah, let me see so much too much. yeah i, i missed my friend. i missed my from the everything is i can say like, my city that i, i, i really miss the 3 years on from his departure and with assigned them finally grunted. mckayla is now looking forward. he has a room and a supposed to commendation house in north london and his enjoying life in england. he has been welcomed into the attend community in the city and found plenty of friends for football. 65, you have a nice big kind. the oldest type to the head to the best. if you want to support someone's indication, describe the system is very helpful for benefits. you like me. this is why i really

appreciate that one of us can see. even in the tough times he never stopped following history. mckayla was in the youth team of one of 80, of his tux ups for me, for 20 is like my life since i was kid. and it's less it was and then might adjust my purchase. the oldest in to my father don't, don't live and stuff is to tell him to tease. we had a good, the big stadium of the city is, draws our house scores foot from my back and then go play the stadium. and then yeah, it was like, easy for me to play for foot. says coming to england, he's been in and out of loading the flux. but now i think jones has come his way. he's been selected to play for england at the homeless world cup, and so south korea, the tournament gathers hundreds of homeless people from all over the globe for weeks on the street soccer tournament. every year. i'm heading now. i'm doing what i love plain support approaching and in

a huge in preparation has been training every day at a local punk soon his talent was noticed. coach semi so mccain a training alone and now trains and advises him on how to get a professional contract for semi the way mckayla deals with such challenging circumstances makes in stand out. it takes resilience. it thanks. i for some days it concerned us like, i mean each you said i'm open but empty. you know, so okay, don't worry. i'll check here for you after that. after the 20 sometimes i see like it wants to drop and it's always that. okay, so let's, let's call it today. so, no, no, no, i have to get this right. it just something especially something unique that i was sending a lot of players and other people. so i don't have this so i cannot come to training . i'm cold. no, no matter what, he's racing outside. it doesn't affect me. she's real potential in mckinney

ability wise, the premier, she plans that i see, and you know, there's no difference that you have to prove it. the only if it's paid off himself, korean mckinney was top score as england qualified through the group. sage then helped his team b. so usa and indonesia and the knockouts, his teammate, certainly appreciated his contribution. i liked him as a person as a moodle. why? even so big time i put in the clinic to finish off this get into a professional team. we can also gained a lot from the bonds formed in korea. i made many fantasy i engaged is a lot of mission. this is the wonder for it's wonderful. it can hear me stories the about the plan as they pass space here. they have amazing background. you know,

they made it this far so you're really proud of them. and then i love main things from the store number i can face a huge expense. and so i'm very excited on the pitch. it all came down to the final against mexico, the most successful nation of all time in the tournament. the mexicans got off to a fly before doubling. indeed, sooner of debt that england regrouped as mechanic got them up and running his gold chains. the momentum with england suddenly dominance, the equalizes soon followed tool. the men in watch was suddenly brimming with confidence. taking the lead for the 1st time by their opinions would not lie down. spell oppression have finally bringing it to 3. 0 then it must be intense. physical bass will also bull incident change. everything the

mckinney was send the england forward to the end, but just couldn't hold on mexico eventually one the main stars who with the 65 when that is so i couldn't get over the line, the experience of a different culture and city and the chose to meet people from all of the world was invaluable to mckinney. stuck in london, the pain of the defeats and stones things was, i mean, based on the mazda finance. i was expecting the window to the one week and very have sounds like then the session i've been thinking unfortunately, was,

was to come soon after 9 doing mckinney was told he'd been evicted because his landlord wanted to sell the house. it was a bishop blow at the moment. uh before me it's hot, but i'm just starting from scratch now. yeah, it's hard for me on the move. his thoughts from a loan in this struggle. there are an estimated 350000 homeless people in england from a population of see a 1000000. and in london, the situation is even worse. one in 53 people in the capital, a homeless and nearly 5000 people sleep rough across the city. every night of 18 percent on the previous year. i think we're facing unprecedented numbers of people coming to the streets. jenny, to best us as the director of housing and services at london homeless chevy see the passage from my professional experience, the worst i've ever seen. that because there are ways to move people up the street or to prevent people from becoming homeless, we just don't have the accommodation available. so it is

a constant struggle in his view, young people like mackenzie have been hit particularly hard by government policies . but the ousting of the country's conservative government, monday, the earlier this year office some shoots of hi. my impression is this government is going to look at water harden's us, and for as much as we can say, the government policy will build will build $1500000.00 additional hines. they didn't get built overnight. so it's the between now and then. and one that says doing the same thing over and over again, it's just not working. so i say, i think there is hope, and i think there is a need for quite radical change. mccain is certainly never lost his home. and for nowadays, that has been rewarded. the management of his old house has changed and he's got a new room really live. i can do my own things. now i can think i can do i once. i

think the 2nd thing, you know, when you don't have foss, this is tough. so by now i can do my own things even because of my support a medication was yeah, things are looking up fast having been through the london housing system before we can and knows it's unlikely to last put in the secure pass by london. this lack of house thing such and in the end it minutes, you'll just have to focus through after i left, you know, you've done, you can be home this tomorrow. you don't know i'm anyways i left on this, but for now i can say i'm unsettled. i'm focused, i'm happy with the place to sleep suicide. he can once again dedicate all his energy to fulfilling the dreams he's carried with him on his journey from otwell. yeah, i'm going to pay for that this semester to me. i'm really for the day if i'm going to looking for what in my life now,

mayflower is going to sign any club or any forklift so which i'm working on. it's my, what is my quotes with people? i don't know me, i don't me so that helping me know. so looking for us as you know, i'm just doing what i have to do and then we'll see what's uh, what's the, what's the finding a home and finding its not one a human necessity and the other a lifelong passion. the 2 main forces in mikaela is life rarely compliment each other. but he's made it this fall by baffling the odds, and he shows no signs of stopping. now the in good shape medicine can be of great help if it

is taken correctly. stalled properly disposed of in time because medication can also cause some real stress, find out which ones. and if you're doing everything the way, just talk to audience in good shape. next, on dw locker colors travel channel was the 1st 10 that molded cultural history. in 1271, he says off on a journey to asia, and that would last 20, full years can shape our imagination to this day. what this one experience, people retraced his steps today. and in 60 minutes on w, conflict crises was, every single connection mapped out shows the geophysical reality. the on the board

is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the what the re administered as drops creams, patches, suppositories for pills. medicine can help fuel disease or sewage pain. medications also sometimes have down sides. they can make you dependent or even become the cause of pain themselves. interesting fact send important chips about medications this time upon in good shape the .
