the crime air until berlin. thank you for joining us. we're focusing on syria where the regime of president bush all or all also has collapsed after a lightning rebel offensive that began less than 2 weeks ago. the capital of damascus has been seized by a coalition of opposition groups led by the as well as how you can reassure them, also known as h. t. us. there are celebrations in the streets of the capitol and across syria. a solid has reported reflect the most cuz it is now in an unknown location. long time alley ro ally russia said a solid had resigned and given instructions for a peaceful transfer of power. in a statement, the russian foreign ministry did not say where a sod was now and said the criminal was not involved in the talks around his departure. let's take a look now and how events have unfolded of the last few hours.

on saturday night regional leaders and special law subs ally, russia held an emergency meeting about syria. and uh huh. but it appears the country site was already sealed. why don't get all my dear brothers, we are living the final moments of liberating homes by god's will. this is a historic moment that we distinguish between right and wrong. a lot of solely up to the rebel alliance released the statement. rebels declared the central city of homes fully liberated to the joy of pressure by law sides opponents. the damascus was next, and the rebel alliance faced hardly any resistance, a band and syrian army checkpoints, foreboding the big announcement. by the grace of god,

the city of damascus was liberated. the tyrant, special aside was over the throne. and all i pressed, detainees were released from the regime's prison. the damascus conquests operations room close on the merchant being brothers and the citizens to preserve all the property of the free syrian state. long live a free and proud syria for all syrians of all religions. these are as rebels into support as celebrated the triumphs and damascus. serious prime minister said he was still in the capital and willing to work with anyone to ensure a smooth transition of power. i am here in my house. i have not left it and i do not intend to leave it except in a peaceful manner so that i can ensure the continuity of the work of public institutions and state institutions and facilities,

and ensure there will be security and reassurance as to our fellow citizens i hope that everyone will think rationally and think about their homeland and country who will be better. so now on the streets of damascus and other syrian towns and cities, rational thinking appears to be taking a backseat to role and motion as assets. opponents celebrate the end of his 20 full year, long author retiree, enrolled a short while ago, another syrian reval commander appeared on state television, which is now under the control of the insurgents. he assured minority communities in syria that opposition fighters would work to create an inclusive syria in which all were welcome. what did you have? he said that we're sending a message to all the religions of syria. we tell them that syria is for everyone, no exceptions. to not serious for julia sunny's,

although it's an old belief so that we will not deal with people the way the assad family did. and one us they are de corresponded. mathias amber joins us now from ariel iraq. it's nice to see you. so she has a rock, was once a strong ally of former syrian present bizarre, all on side. what does that mean? what does the fall of also mean for a rock? first of all, hearing loss and iraq in the corner. so you walk where i am, the regional government tries to stay out of this come and taking up to get involved in it, in southern iraq. and in fact that the, the government there and especially she and malicious, had been involved with this conflict. reportedly they had been sent in the recent days to syria, to support assets. and yesterday they were reports that uh, troops, assets, troops had, had to cross the border to iraq around 2000. so we'll just some of them while and that. so, and the rock plays a role in this conflict,

they were concerned about the opposition groups and going forward to the schools. and they had to extra to the embassy in damascus because uh, they were preoccupied about what would happen because they were, i knew the embassy had already been there in damascus. so you rock southern the rock, the central government, in fact that is involved and is concerned now we heard from the regulators that they want to assure a peaceful transition of power with in syria. is there a role that baghdad could play in that parent, that peaceful, transitional power for sure back that has to cooperate. and if they want a piece for transition instability in syria and for the syrians, especially incorporation with ron and turkey and other countries involved in this conflict because of the civil war isn't over yet. and still those fighting, for example, between vs and amy deseck. let's by a to a,

keep it and fight against the court is ne, syria, so that you rock and all the other countries around a test to negotiate that piece for transition instability and without so what was going on? now of course, a rock has faced the men's challenges since the us led invasion some 20 years ago. are there any lessons from the us pull out of iraq that the international community could learn that could help them in the current situation in syria? i think the international community has to try to get all the players on the tape. ready to have a big negotiation, especially with turkey, because turkey plays a huge role in this latest development in syria. so they have to try to get on the table and to discuss what kind of transition can be best for syria, the region and, and for peace for transition, for sure. right? i'm afraid right? to leave it there. that was a r d correspondence, but he has

a bunch of thank you very much for your analysis. and today's events also mark a historic day for syrians living abroad, many of whom have been of express caution or cautious optimism, rather than the end of the assad families. more than 50 year rule will make waiting for a better chapter for syria. what type of listen to some of the reactions from lebanon, which is home to a large number of syrian refugees, as i do that. so i'm, i'm, of course, it's much better not much better. for example, i have to do military service, but not that's and nothing holding me by this means i can go to syria. we used to live in fear, but now i can go wherever i want, as well as we don't know how this new situation that unfolds or what can do with the insurance to pay before the situation was bad. but now it's betsy, god's willing, but not sure yet if it will get much better or just send it to let's say thanks.

we'll get that to god willing. hopefully, syria will return to how it used to be an even better thing savvy to any, to norma. and now we can all go to sit around. so the jimmy, what happened didn't send me, it is great. i mean, it was never expected to happen, nothing our life time. we had minutes every conscription due to the web escaping from now this is what brings us joy while the problem the revel attack. so the end of the 13 year long civil war in syria. so it's departure is also still king winer geopolitical rivalries with more and turkey's war. and all of this, i'm now drilling by do up. you corresponded dorian jones in his temple during nice to see him. so turkish officials have project and claims of any involvement during these latest developments, which observers have questions. what have turkey's reaction been to today's development so far? slow, the latest reaction has been coming from the tech install a bit of steps. how come feet on now to use the addressing assignment to doha?

and he says the priority here is to basic, they looking for stability and inclusivity in any new government. that is, that will take hope of the funding of syria. he's stressed that is very important. there was no vengeance taken against the various groups in society and stressing the importance of also the pals of economic development in the country as well. the of the see both the political on the account develop as key to maintaining and giving hope that they will be civility. he also stress of the, the future syrians station don't pose any threats to any of its neighbors. i think that they're also looking that this region will be stabilized on this will have a stabilizing effect across the region as well. i'll talk you seen this as a, as a major opportunity to help return many of the, the refugees that's all on living in turkey. at the moment then the key to all of this is stability, and that is the key message the other day looking for a while they insist that they are not taking paul toll involved in this uprising. i think most people will point to the fact that the syrian next to allow me is being

organized by turkey. they with key in that the uprising and also they all believe to have a strong link with the uh, high atari. i will show him organization as well, but i think that they were on thought to be surprised by the speed of the success in victory. and that is why i think in many ways they're scrambling like with much of the will to bring stability to syria as soon as possible. and many of the experts we've been speaking to, you know, i'd have pointed to the fact that this could be seen as a booming for turkey. and that it could emerge as a major power broker moving forward in this region. more than it has been in the last several years. so the question is, how exactly does turkey go about maintaining its influence in this next phase of serious future was suddenly is a main play. i mean touchy, has been the main supporters of the rebels from the beginning of the civil war is provided the lot of support for various groups and also providing refuge for millions of syrians as well. so i'm definitely has developed very strong links with the various groups that have now successfully. i'll sit outside and that has really

put it in a prime position. and that's why they took his 5 minutes to feed on has been saying he's been holding pulse with saudi arabia, the gulf states, as well as washington. and also even iran and russia who really are seen as the main loses in the aisle seat of i saw that the l. c. facade is seen as a major, successful talking to projecting into influence in not only to syria, but also across the region. but key to where it can maintain that success, it all depends on what kind of government will follow. will it be a stable, inclusive coupling which talk he's pressing full. but if it descends into factual fighting, then in many ways to see the success of allison, you know, side could end up being a major problem on talk. he's bolt is which is something on correct, is a term and to avoid. now regarding problems on cars border and turkish border, how worry it is and a one that the courage could use, the current power vacuum to extend their influence in the country. well, that's right. there is a group positively survey,

a democratic policies. the quote that is made up of a y p g affiliate which on group claims is directly linked to the p k. k, which is designated both both by the european union and united states as a terrace organization. let's be fighting turkey, fully decades, an encore and says that that presence in c, or it poses an existential threat to its security in the country. and again, the 5 minutes to feed on the rates, right, that, that turkey will not tolerate that this ongoing system, especially if it seeks to take advantage of the power vacuum as we speak. there was the major fighting in the kurdish controlled. so syrian city of mum beach where it took, he's a searing, national army are engaged and they all repulsive stuckey, stroke of supporting that conflict that could be a sign of the struggles to come. no turkey has, of course, also taken millions of searing refugees more than any other country is this likely increase the pressure on them to return home? now? i think that's one of the things that uncle will be looking for for me. i'll see you. let's talk. he's hosting anywhere between $3.40 refugees. it's

a major political liability for a one, a fact to behind the series of electrical setbacks and local elections. and he's being very determined that those, that those refugee to start to leave the fact that a site is gone, they making all the science now that they want those people to start returning. we have seen reports of the syrians will only touch the side of the boulder going back in large numbers. but the key question is whether that would be the syrians who have called south and life for themselves and places like here in this sample. but anywhere between $1.20 living will they stall to return. the nice thing that we have depend largely on whether those political and economic stability in syria. right, or have to leave it there. that was the w corresponded dorian jones. thank you very much for that update. and let's have a brief reminder of the top story we're following for you at this hour of the people in siri or celebrating the collapse of the regime of present the short whole outside following

a lightning revel offensive there. the capital of damascus has been seized by a coalition of opposition. groups as odd, has reportedly fled, damascus, and his now in another location. and you're up to date, but you stick around, we'll have more breaking news for you at the top of the hour. i'm here until berlin, thanks for joining us. the secret world of motorcycle con boy who does this important job? and how do they learn it? from con, for training to life fire drill. government, limousines and or motorcycle squadron. i want to tell you something. it's a bear with me my house i tried to.
