is not resigned to make up your own mind dw, made for mines. the . this is definitely news live from fairly serious. second largest city now, mostly in rebel had, is one must find his celebrate, and your thoughts into a letter. and the biggest challenge in years to the regime of fashion power. so we'll say coming up 1st, this is clash with police for 3rd, not in the george and capital to police. the angry of the government's decision, the phrase told to join the you repeat the, i'm anthony how, thanks for joining us. we begin with the biggest challenge in years to the regime

of the syrian president, bashar assad. thousands of rebel is list 5 as of taken of a much of the 2nd city. a laptop also stays in control of the airport and dozens of towns and villages. syria and it's l. i. ra. should have carried out a strikes against the rebels. a sod has vowed to defeat the and such rebel fighters celebrate in the central town square in the heart of a level this fire of victory shots, savoring the crimes that has an austin serious redeem from here on the hop, that happiness is indescribable. the happiness of liberating the city of an echo. but we're now in the main square. we've been waiting for this for 10 years or even child. it's an indescribable feeling. my older brother was mounted here on the left both 13 years ago, prays to god and praise to god. allow me to go hunt allow me to go home.

this video purportedly shows on gunmen and truck season control of the city civilian airport. the syrian army admit it has low lost control of much of a level which it has for 8 years and dozens, if its soldiers were killed. when a coalition affordable groups launched a surprise attack, a few days ago, they seized the military base weapons and even tanks from syrian government forces . the lightning offensive is led by the more h b s, which used to be a guide does branch in syria before so ring ties. the collision consists of multiple groups with differing and the geez, what unites them is their opposition to syrian president. my shoulder less on this assault is the biggest challenge and is do, has redeem and has dropped in the front lines of the syrian civil war that have large the remain frozen since 2020 the rebels have also taken

control of dozens of strategic towns in houma and it lea provinces, russia launched a series of overnight strikes across the city in a bit to stop the rebels. it was the 1st time in a 2 years russian war plains had a level and ceiling is a fellow at the washington institute for near east policy and the founder of jihad . ology don't mess with serious president bashar al assad, vowing to push back the rebels. i asked aaron if the regime army was in any shape to do so, as i think in the area is that it's the chord territory is where you have minority groups like the way it's which is what the regime is from. as well as others like the us mail use and she even working with christians and, and sort of the coastal areas of sir as well as around damascus. it will be useful . but in terms of those outlying areas that we've seen them quickly and take from

the regime, it's gonna be very difficult. it's important to remember that the areas that the regime took from the insurgency back in the, you know, 2015 to 2020 was mainly done by brushing the air power as well as ronnie and proxy networks in the ground. right, so what do we know aaron? adapt the militants, h t s, and what we know specifically about the foreign backend. i mean for the most part they primarily rely upon their own governance locally within northwest syria via text ation, as well as commerce. of course, there's cross border trade with turkey because it's on the surface border. but unlike you know, other revel groups in series such as the syrian national army, which is backed by turkey h. she has, has been mainly independent and the court for the pot still seems to be gaining ground taking grounds. we've seen even some reports about classes in the

capital damascus. i'm. can the rebels realistically gain control as a major areas in the country as well? we've already seen them take a level as well as how my city, which is unprecedented. we didn't even take this when, when the rebels took a lot of areas a decade ago. so we're seeing has never happened before in the history of the certain conflict over the last 14 years. however, now they're starting to get into sort of the chord territories of words. there seems strong hold is on the coastal regions and will talk you that's are two's uh parts of homes that are from a as well as damascus. and that will be a bit tougher because that's where a lot of the security forces and intelligence agencies are in a way that maybe there weren't in other areas in northern syria, which was primarily doing propped up by iranian proxy molar show. and what options do assad's back is? you mentioned russia earlier. russia in a run have right now they're definitely in

a more difficult position now, compared to when russia 1st center of the conflict a decade ago. as well as a ron because of russia's involvement in the morning crane. this was recently runs backing and both from us and his bowler in the word the israel's been conducting against them. and therefore both of them had been weakened on some level or have other priorities right now and, and that's one of the ways that h t s, as well as hodge podge of other groups have been able to take advantage. i imagine that over the next week or so that you know, there will be a ton of meetings between the russian through team iranians, different she and militia, from a rock, from loving on. even possibly even bringing in the who is these now because of how successful they seemed in their campaign and you know, in young men over the last year or so and how that they might be able to push back . the question is, if they have enough manpower, as well as military capabilities, as they did a decade ago, just because the contacts has changed so much in the past. second now,

especially the last 4 years. yeah. the steering conflict had subsided fully. some years with these, when the rebels loudly confined to one area around did it live? now this flare up? can this you think lead to a full blown conflict? again? i think some of the places to look for in the future is in the south and our region, which is just south of damascus. that's the cradle of the revolution, where the 1st protests happened in 2011. if they're able to get things going in the province next door and swayed, has been actively protesting against the regime, which is dominantly drew's for the last year. so, so there's definitely a lot of points where the regime is this week and not able to control different parts of the country beyond just what we're seeing in the north. and one more before we go to the us involvement or potential involvement here. um, how do you say that unfolding?

it's been quite surprising that the u. s. government actually hasn't said one thing about what's been going on yet, and it's been 4 days now. obviously, it's thanksgiving in the united states, but still, this is a monumental event in syria. i suspect that for the most part, it'll stay out of it. there might be some diplomatic um, you know, meetings and trying to work out things. but the reality is, is a lot of the players and the ground that are forcing these events and what's going on there really doesn't have to do with the united states at least for now. unless it gets into eastern syria where the us presence is in its fight against islamic state. and so in many thanks for your time. thank you. all craft have clashed with place for the 3rd consecutive, not in the judge and capital tbilisi. they accused the ruling of georgia dream potty of pulling the country into russia's old. earlier, george's prime minister is actually come back. he said the state would not allow of a revolution to take place. the wife of unrest with spock when the government fries

the government they want in georgia and taking us without any power. they want to leave us. they want, they want that. so we want peace. but we want freedom, we are able to fight for our freedom, the pro western george and president. so that'd be sweeney coast the government, illegitimate and dispatching to protest for it to go up to, to sacraments will accomplish this together and move on again together with representing the future. we are on the verge of reaching through new elections as of october, the new georgia are comfortable that were reclaim it. so you are being back on it's independence problems demo there. and most importantly, it's free back to development. come the thought of this probably as a box. we will not surrender to anyone our double prime minister. exactly correct sheets,
