of dreams coming through, making money. having a son with non fools injunction stops. december 13th on d, w. the. this is need to be news life from berlin, russia, and a ron express concern over the escalation of the civil war in syria. rebel is list fighters celebrate their advance into the 2nd city, a laptop, and the biggest challenge in years to the regime of pressure. all assets, also coming up george's prime minister says the stage will not allow a revolution after tens of thousands joined anti government protests. the demonstrators are angry over the suspension of talk to join the european union. the

i melissa chant. thanks for joining us. we begin with the flare up in the civil war in the syria, the biggest challenge in years to the regime of pressure all outside. thousands of rebel is list fighters have taken over much of the 2nd city a level dozens of syrian armies. soldiers had been killed in the surprise offensive . syrian army commanders say they are preparing a counter offensive to restore the authority of the state. the insurgents have also seems to be airports and taking control of a number of towns and villages. the fighting revives the conflict which has been largely dormant for the last 4 years. running russia have expressed extreme concern about the escalation. center sheller is the head of the middle east and north advocate division. at the higher both on dish and in berlin, i asked her to tell us more about the steering levels behind the attack in a level a good evening h 2. so one of the big sections controlling labor, which is the last rebel, held

a preference in the northeast northwest of syria. and they were the strongest group . they are supported by turkey. but i think of this offensive turkey does not have the leading bo took is just not interfering. it lets these levels go. and many of them actually are from the villages around a level. so for them it is uh, return they come home from displacements. so to say now, um the group seems to be advancing without much ground resistance. will they stop in a level or it looks like they're moving beyond? what's the plan? what have they said and articulated from what i see them being down south towards the province of ha, which would be another big city in sierra. and that is, of course, quite interesting because you have different sections controlling multiple syria. and if you look at other to those who are controlling the city or who, who came into the city, i mainly

h t s is one of the rebels that there is the international airport that is under control of the kurdish forces that are mainly in serious north east to so that is already an interesting setting. so offensive a continuing towards the south to me looks like possibly a whole the, a hopeful signal that they will not fight with each other and against each other. but that this, that's as they might be receiving direct to defenses of a syrian army, says it is preparing a counter attack. is the army strong enough to repel the rebel forces? i seriously doubt that because already in 2013 the army and it was down to 100 size . and it was said that a such trusted only course of the original army. so that has been long time ago, and it has not been possible to rebuild the army. this is by russians around were so essential for us. that's to keep it in. to keep him in power, they invested a lot. i'm sent their own s all so many fighting groups on the ground. he seems to

be offended by them. no. because i had these statements that they are very concerned. it does not seem as if this time they will come to this best cute. now the civil war has been rumbling along for a few years, rather quietly with few major developments. now we have this, it's been a surprise. it seems to a lot of people. what do you think in terms of these events leading to a full blown conflict? once again, it depends a lot on the kurdish arrow relations. the no, but it also depends on another area and 0 which is the self. because the presence of that uh where the whole protest in 2011 started the prevalence of suede um, as well in the south. we have seen protests there for more than a year. and if these also decided to take things into their own affairs, that might be a really turning point and they for i think we have to wish out what comes up. of

course everybody hopes that this will not lead to more of legit and violence that we can't really for see what will happen. but this definitely is a major development that this is obviously not happening in a black box. so there are regional dynamics and play. how do you think the global power is russia, or ron turkey and the united states are likely to respond? the biggest question mark is possibly the united states because we're here in the transition process from the outgoing government to it's a trump administration that has not really shown emily strategy in the past. that's for us. so i find it interesting that they are, you're not doing much and i think even their own positions were overrun and yesterday's defensive. so that is quite a surprise. it seems to me that they are dropping their and light and they are not willing to go to any length to support them any longer. how does the for them? ukraine is more important and for around they are busy with their own affairs and particularly his spell that was crucial as an initiative to support the subdivision

on the ground. they have been decimated, they've been losing their leadership. so i think it's a very vulnerable moment for the steering regime end and long prepared offensive now by the rebels is coming in exactly that moment of opportunity then to sheller with the heinrich bull foundation. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. crowds have gathered for a 3rd night, a protest in the george and capital to believe see after the ruling georgia, dream party suspended talks to join the european union. prime minister iraq weeks come back, it's a says, the state will not allow a revolution to take place. tens of thousands demonstrated over the last 2 nights. it's more than a 100 arrested. most georgians want to join the you. some polls show as much as 80 percent public support. earlier we spoke to the president of georgia salon 0. bosh billy, and asked her about her reaction to the police,

detaining protesters, and using water cannons against them. it's not only what her attendance and the rest there is a systemic violence against the protesters that is the following. and this is studying the violence against the georgian population when they were deprived of their v. busy as in the elections, and when they have been deprived gradually of each and every independent institution in the country, that is the whole system that is taking a foot in the, in georgia and that has worked at the georgia in pollution that similarly is protesting, introduced this is days and what is the new in georgia? the process are extended to all the major cities in georgia. and the process is also

a gaming in the public service where people are signing a public protest or detecting resigning from their jobs that's including in the too much community, especially in the uh and this is a, in the european union. this is a message national protest against the other patient of power and the attempt to drive to georgia towards rest. yeah, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. kosovo is blaming and explosion at a crucial water canal on serbia. calling it terrorism, the damage canal feeds to coal fired power plants. serbia rejects the accusation, is the 3rd blast in kosovo in recent days, kosovo declared independence from serbia in 2008. which serbia does not accept and is really drawn, strike has killed 3 people working for an agency in gaza. israel's army says a car,

caring world, the central kitchen staff was unmarked and it killed a militant employed by the agency. 2 other people were killed by a 2nd vessel, fired at the scene near the city of han eunice. now to namibia where the opposition leader says his party will not recognize the results of any election which has been marred by chaos and accusations of foul play. pendalty needed to law has accused the electrical commission of betraying voters. the presidential election began last wednesday, but had to be extended until today as technical problems prevented many from casting their ballots. the opposition is hoping to end 34 years of rule by the south, west africa peoples organization known as swap oh let's go to dw reporter yesco roost, who joins us from. there may be a capital wind hook. tell us about this controversial decision to extend the

elections and the irregularities that lead to that decision. oh yes. so the election day unfortunately was march with the logistical issues. the main problem was a like a ballot papers at many pointing stations at the same time they were electric devices. for example, for both the verification that were over to the other electronic device that simply did not have the necessary pets. read the pasadena and at the same time, the removal of both the teams that did not show up on time or did were actually leaving to any leaving boats is cheering up and then not being able to cost the boat. so there's actually has, let's do an outcry by the position by the general public. and so this decision for the 1st time in the youngest 3 of the movie, it was taken to actually extend the voting for some constituencies that were especially affected. spivey suggest to patients and the opposition presidential

candidate has already said his party will not recognize the vote. so what happens next? what now a well, it's a bit too early to actually say what, what is going to happen because the bundling need to i did not clarify which road he's going to go down. he just called for peace and for com a month to support us in the general public. it is however important to state that this would not be the 1st time that the elections in the media have been on, tests that you to learn. so when to the supreme court in 29 team, ultimately he was unsuccessful. but what happens also this now after all these logistical issues is that the position which did not work together at all before the elections came together. and this might become a problem to swap or we can swap what has been to this is facing a very weak, very fragmented position. and now is facing this united blocked against election. so does the united block stand a chance to challenge the long time?

rule of the current government? well, we don't have any official results yet. we are expecting them any minute from now. i think it is, however safe to say that it to none of the position parties loans outright when the selection is i think swap is just still too strong. but i think what is going to happen is that the 2 line is ip. he will definitely become a very important political player in this political landscape often in libya. and at the same time it has to be seen how we go from here because it's not just the oppositional policies that up in arms. the general public public is very skeptic about these election. so i think these discussions around the 27th and all the 29th, and 30th as the election days, is going to continue for quite a long time. he doesn't go to puerto yesco wrist and when talk. thank you so much. thank you. of thousands gathered in the eastern spanish city of valencia to protest the handling of catastrophic floods that devastated the region. a month ago,
