done. what has happened in the last say, $12.00 is the last 2 hours you'd evils. queen, queen trained uh the main of the main, 2 cds and cuts the venue, the areas of for a team. by just all you mean taking all the homes and the most because they've cut people thinking go over the most goes with a g. was mainly thinking that they get resist. they getting a showing to the end of the media and propaganda. the unified in the most schools that are going to be know any pushback and until yesterday evening. good. a jim was making statements for his alliance for, for the, for the people in syria that they get it came back. but no, everybody knows that there is no come back. how is this takeover by the rebel

group h t s, which is one of the launch a, a groups as seen in other parts of silly. for example, the northeast where well you will have a quote, kurdish forces control. most areas i did was a media conference 2 days ago by the general comment of as the muslim combining and you mention it clearly, but there is a kind of discussions and tugs between as vs and it's d. c. there is no any, a young collages or fighting between the both sides. this is was happening long time ago. not starting was in the unit the last 2 weeks, but this was happening a sort of long time ago. it's d. c is one of, of the main, a love seat, or evil groups. even if you're like, they are some homeless ladies. but they were

a, not a tutoring or having a asking the people that he could teach people in. i've seen a nurse with 2 leaves in their homes, they were not killing them, they were nothing or a being that the women. so i think that is kind of of talks into model tubes between the both sides of just a 5 minutes a go. that was a statement on, on ex, uh, from uh, a general comment or busy as muslim. combining, as you mentioned, it's clearly that's, that's the type of unfair of the 3 and sheep is over in, in, in syria. we are hoping to of a chunk of, of tullocks and negotiations looking for democracy, looking for a democratic system for all the people in cities such on list as all, i'm a homeless and i've come easily. thank you very much. thank you for talking.

so all these anti government forces in syria and what do they want? rebels, rebel groups and serial various and diverse. but this lightning offensive was spearheaded by a group called h t. s. it's made up of jihad is fine to us and is designated as a terrorist organization by the u. n. the us turkey and other countries. the syrian rebels celebrating after entering elect the country 2nd largest city. defensive to the world by surprise. even though some report suggest they had been planning the new push against the etc team for a while. they weren't, even though the insurgents all led by g, had his group hired to hey, i assume known by the initials h t s the most powerful rebel function in syria. a don't made up of some searching

groups at at least 60000 well trained fighters. they govern it live province, an area of at least $3000000.00 people in the northwest, which is parts of the around. so 2 percent of syrian territory notes controlled by president bush, all assad. h t. s was founded by islam is rebel abu muhammad, all galani to emerge from the group known as almost rep, from the te, set up in 2011 and the early stages of serious war. back then under galandes leadership, they were a direct affiliates of all kind of reports and we broke run through the group in 2017 to become the new organization now known as h t. s. they've long been designated a terrorist organization by the u. n. on the us,

they've also been accused of human rights abuses and areas they control, including executions or persecution, of religious minorities and women. other more recently, the claims have disavowed terrorism and are trying to present a more moderate face. to discuss this further, no joined by roger santa honeys and released analysts that a former army officer search with the u. n. in south lebanon. and syria is joining us from sydney this morning, brought to the syrian army, come on, says a subs. redeem is over all surprising is this for you? well certainly very surprising for myself so. so most commentators and regional countries as well the speed with which the saw dr. shane failed in essentially 10 or 11 died just from the time that they really pushed. it started is extraordinary . most people expected a much bigger fight to be put up and this to be

a bloody campaign, but it turned out to be quite the opposite. now, why did the army not find the rebels? apparently. busy it was, it was a subs military backing a maybe not a strong enough as we all sold, as well as probably several reasons for this. uh uh, the ideas lead a coalition who are the opposition? i'd spent months in preparation and also i training for this day 5 better equipped than i had been in the past. so they were essentially a semi conventional i mean, at the moment um and are up against the side military forces who had been so light out, i would use the logic conscript ami um and there's probably 2 elements here. first of all. so it's a context of wills and essentially, uh, the uh, side, military forces were not willing to fight and die. so they cause whereas the

opposition way and the other aspect is very early on the opposition gained by mentioned many military terms. once you gain my mention and exploit that, my main to them, it's very difficult to stop it. and that's well what we so it's what's the, um, a decisive moment and if so, what was it? well, it's and everything is uh, create in retrospect. and i think it that we look back at, we'll probably say very early on the phone with a lift, but not just it's full. but the speed with which it failed was real, indicated that i, that the assad regime is not willing to expend the resources to stay and fight or its military was incapable of staying and fighting. and once it fails, i quickly that allowed the opposition to build up my mansion and to base our reputation, their advances that decided right shame was unable to make decisions quickly enough

to stop them at all. so i meant that it's external back is in russia and around what i will to react quickly enough. and probably given the lack of funding, the survey military decided that they wouldn't react to me. and is that the reason that leaves straight to my next question? also i'd have powerful back cuz with russia and, and the ron was, was the speed of the rebel advanced, decisive said, rush signed, iran decided not to help all where they just busy on all the front bows. combination of, uh, several, uh, issues as far as obviously russia uh has um, it's probably just entirely on crime. certainly got its forces in syria and its ability to reinforced eyes were limited, but also the spade with which events unfolded as it takes

a while to react. you'll support forces to travel to syria and the speed with which the syrian forces were collapsing. you would imagine bite into ron and deed must go a rational voices. she said that the space with which otherwise her name was collapsing was unlikely that their forces good stuff that i'm sorry there was little a point in trying a good money after bad. so one of the better time. now, militarily, damascus has now full and what do you expect to happen next? well, one of the things we say in with the opposition is they're not a while they're full of a diverse range of actors. they're not a rag tag organization and they have a civil administrators element that spies to follow up quickly behind the elements. so that's what we're saying at the moment they tried to calm the

population, the easiest social media is being very professional in terms of spreading a message that of cause. and i think quite careful and engaging with the rump syrian government to make sure that the functions of state uh, in terms of the infrastructure provided to the population, continues the last name that the opposition great once is to inherit a broken system so that i can keep it going as functionally as possible for as long as possible that makes the transition much smoother and it gives the population more confidence in the opposition. so i think that's what we're saying. the early days of what we're saying at the moment. and final question briefly, as you can uh, wherever is bush or our last thoughts, very good questions this each pull it as a dollar question. nobody quite know is it might well be that given the space of events using some interim location where somebody's getting a short term a solemn,

until a long term solution can be sorted out and perhaps varies in very short term. doesn't what that probably 9 at the moment. so the short answer is, i don't think anybody nice publicly in the middle east, largest china, and thank you very much for sharing your expertise with us by placing the time now for some of the stories making headlines. leaders of self care as president you and so hills political parties say he will resign over his attempts to impose muscle this week. doing survives and impeachment vote and problem. and on saturday, people's public policy later on the, on the who and the said the president's declaration of emergency policy was a serious violation of the little pond people now ensure is ordering the dispatcher
