why did they have all the time? i should just search for the day and take them out for on the lesson to put down the business daily news live forever. land out of syrian president, bashar al assad, fines asylum, and las go after fling the revel take over of the mascot theory and celebrate the end of 15 years of the sod family's oppressive rule hailing what the rebels are calling a new era for the country. also coming up is really forces these control of a buffer zone separating the is really occupied full on heights from syria. israel says it's a temporary move to protect its citizens. there after syrian troops, a band and their physician and south korean president june. so if you'll is slapped with a travel band as investigators probe his short lived declaration of martial law the

welcome to the show. i'm nicole fairly. the russian government has granted political asylum to ousted syrian liter, bashar assad. he fled the country after his regime collapsed and the lightning rebel offensive that'd begin less than 2 weeks ago. besides, fall has been a cause for widespread celebration across the country and among the syrian diaspora for almost 25 years under his rules, syrians are beginning to turn their attention towards what rebel leaders say is a new era for their homeland busha, a subs exit from syria came quickly in the in looters picked through his boss to tell us just hours of that he flayed to russia with his family, of begging the remains of his regime and celebration,

fresh quote for their country. and the use of injustice insults, public water and electricity cuts, they thank god. after 50 years we were able to remove assaults, families, god willing, syria is moving towards democracy in the rebel forces who toppled aside. have received a heroes welcome and pots of damascus. civilians have joined with soldiers in wide spread celebrations. the heaven split little since yesterday. i came early in the morning to see the people and expressed joy on behalf of all the month as of the missing prisoners and masses . my brother was mine, such as all my friends and neighbors on us because the rebels have moved quickly to free thousands of people locked inside asides, notoriously brutal jails,

newly released prisoners, asked bystanders in damascus. once it happened. still unaware of the regimes in mid celebrations or the assad full plenty of questions remain. don't what comes mixed with syria? rebel lee, the informa outside a member of the mohammed l. galani is likely to play a key role. his rebel group, h t is, was instrumental in over throwing a sides regime on sunday, the leader addressed cheering crowds at domestic asses, historical, my, you'd mosque this victory. my brothers is a new history for the entire islamic nation. this victory, my brothers is a new history for the region. the prime minister mohammed kazi loudly has said he will assist with the peaceful transition of palate to a government chosen by the people. but who we have

a lead serious next chapter faces and the norm as a task and unifying the country for now many remain cautiously optimistic about the country's future i'm doing now by the w. a reporter gasdio. honda is who has been following the situation in syria for us. what are you hearing god, the about the security situation of the country right now? right, nicole, it's just 24 hours after what was the biggest day for the syrians in syria and scattered across the world. and now the eyes are on the security situation. thankfully so far we haven't really seen any massive security incidents that affect people as in like no killings to violence. but there have been a lot of loadings for example, with shops with supermarkets. so now the question is, who's going to come in and provide the security services that the state was

providing before they left the she has, has already been doing this, but they're stretched then at the moment, syria is massive and you know, there's a lot of demand in different parts, there's remote areas which have been particularly affected by this, but uh, we're gonna have to see how they deal with that. yeah, it's an extremely fluid situation at the moment, right. so is there any clear way to say who's in charge right now is there as well . everybody's kind of stepped into health at the moment in areas where the us hasn't really established their presence like along the syrian coast. i've heard, for example, from my village that there's been other armed groups have come in, offered their services, they said we're here to help. we don't require anything and return. we just want to help protect people's properties, protect people's homes. so it is in their best interest to kind of make sure nothing goes wrong. and this time people have waited for so long for this moment. and they want to make sure that everything goes smoothly. some of the most striking

pictures of the past days were people being released from from prisons from besides notorious prisons. what are you hearing about who these people are and what their experience has been? it's very emotional right now with the prisoners, re seeing a lot of these videos and you can see in the faces of some of them, the kind of trauma and the horrors that they've endured. there's already been videos of people also from said, now i a prison which is the most notable one. it has been to the human slaughter house there has been calls to excavate at sites around it, feeling that there is mass graves. so it's a lot of brutality that is now seeing the light of the day, and there's hundreds of families now. at this moment, still at sid naya, waiting to hear is their loved ones are among those released. there's reports that there's still people under ground in tunnels where they cannot access behind doors

that are coded. so the white helmets, which have been a rescue workers working with the all physician, they've been deployed. they're, they're spend special units. they're working with ex military, people would know, you know, where the stores are, where these entrances are, and still there is no news of know anybody being found. so they're still looking and it's still a tense moment. the families of gathered, there's crowds around the prison, and they're just waiting to hear about the fate of their loved ones. the rebels that ended up toppling the song regime. they're not all one group, right? and, and the situation in syria is notoriously fragmented and complicated. now that the common goal of getting a side out of the way out of the country has been achieved. how big do think the danger is of them turning on each other? right? they have a common enemy and now he's no longer there to unite these groups. you're right about that. but a lot of these groups now have the same common goal of trying to rebuild syria and

make sure it's a functional country. that being said, there's still a lot of disagreements, especially between, you know, the turkey backed rebels and the kurdish rebels. so these $3.00 and $3.00 army which is backed by turkey and these are in democratic forces, which have now been looking at other areas and seeing what about our curtis prisoners, what is their fate? and they want to know what happens there. so we'll see how these groups will be able to negotiate and come together. uh, but right now it seems that the focus is still on, you know, finding a way to transition peacefully together. i don't want to let you go, we don't have much time, but i don't want to let you go without asking about the millions of people who were, were displaced as part of the civil war. are many now going to return. so it's incredible what i've heard from syrians all over the world i've been in contact

with, you know, with my friends with people i know. and no one has kind of said that they're not willing to, everybody wants to go back even if just to visit because it's been years that they haven't seen family, it's been years that they haven't seen their home towns their cities. so everybody's uh, kind of waiting to see when it stabilizes that they can go with, there's already a lot of people returning from 11 on returning from neighboring countries, especially. and many are also waiting to see if there's going to be funding available to rebuild the country. they want to go back and make sure they're working on it as well themself, and i know that you're also planning to visit those guys. jo, honda is thank you so much. former syrian president bush or other side in his family are reportedly now in moscow where they have been granted asylum. on quote, humanitarian grounds assigned was last seen

a week ago when he met with the arabian for a minister in damascus. world leaders have largely welcome to the end of his regime . they've also called for the restoration of peace and stability. earlier i asked our russian affairs analyst constantine, and got what he had heard about how aside and his family were welcome to moscow. well look, many details emerge. do we have several confirmations now, by dressing, diplomats, and, and the state news agency task bushrod or assault and his family are indeed in brush it. we do not know anything about the whereabouts must christian is that she will be well guarded. probably in one of the government guessed the villas that overlooked. they must go to the room, the rid of some wonderful view. actually, i think this is usually the place where they put top guess for some time that of course, uh that a huge issue is about uh, options of security. he is,

he's finally security and that will be provided eventually by the russian government. but i can't imagine is going to be quite a cumbersome operation. what do you expect the sides life to be like in the future? well, i think you can ask if you, are you able to publish diploma presidents over your grand who's been living in russia now together with his prime minister for 10 years? um, it is a life where you can for example, a ride memoirs probably you can do business up and i'm sure with that also i've has quite a quite a few assets to, to spare for an investment. yeah. but definitely it is a 247 security protection. uh, and i think in the case of also that's probably been more relevant then for, for you on the coverage. so is going to be a difficult lot to show for him because russia is not the middle east is just

a completely different environment environment, completely different climates. so i do think that the dictates that we'll have to adapt to go ahead and do things and also she will be forever in depth to the russians. this is what you feel when you become right the when, when you become a political exile or a few g or whatever you call human dislike themselves. me, you mentioned you on a coverage there. now aside, what makes russia so attractive to fall and leaders as well? it does make it attractive that i'm not too many. that was there. i can, the one thing that's kind of comes to my mind is the former leader of non existent now solve human, all the necessary mohammed living and most gone to the soviet regime in the late seventy's or the ages. uh so uh, basically in the case of also the seems like you asked all the arab countries for help and probably for asylum and none was ready to provide it. so a russian, i'll probably be honest with the beginning of this, the nation. but then if you choose between minutes,

good mosque was very clear that you would rather be in moscow. that was russian analyst come something i guess, talking to me a little earlier. well, is really forces have moved into a long demilitarized buffer zone with syria along the is really controlled, go on heights. israel says it's a temporary but necessary measure because it's 50 year old cease fire agreement with syria ended when assad soldiers of band that their pulse is real annex the strategic territory for decades ago. but most countries regarded as part of syria prime minister benjamin netanyahu set asides. paul was the direct result of israel, the military action against his allies has the law and iran serious allies that it's that's cross to the w correspondence, emily or dean in jerusalem. emily, as soon as the onset regime fell, the idea of was instructed to seize the buffer zone that separated syrian and as really forces for over 50 years to what end. i mean,

this essentially reflects the fact that it's not himself that this is what is happening and 0 right now is a huge blow to wrong. but it is also, it can also turn into a threat to israel. and so that's why we're seeing this military response. initially, the idea was instructed to maybe take over positions at the syrian on behalf of band. and now that's turned into orders of a fully seizing this buffer zone. and israel defense ministers, real cops, essentially, once the idea of to construct or to wrecked a safety or security zone in this off of then on the syrian side as well. and, and which, which is free of any strategic weapons of any entire infrastructure. and why of a is role doing all of this? well, essentially it wants to protect its citizens about the live and the garden heights, and your coupon garland heights, but also beyond bob from any possible spillover effects. and it's also meant to act

as a deterrent to possible of threats to possible attacks in the future in a way that yeah, was been taking credit for asides. allister, hasn't he? what more do we know about how israel's leadership feels about the developments in the immediate neighborhood? or i think what's happening in sierra is met with mixed feelings and his role. it's a bit of a double edged sword really because on the one hand, when we're hearing from his where the leadership is not, of course, what is happening in fear of what's on folding. now right now is a huge blow to of ron and it's influence, and not, of course, isn't, is roles interest at the same time over the past few years. we also full about a side was a lead, a bit of a convenient either. if you want for is roll it up, he upheld a certain state of quote, he didn't part of the dark threat to as well. now what we're seeing is, of course, a certain disarray in syria. i'm certain i'm certain. see,

and that mix is really neat as worried as well. there are concerns and that's why we're also seeing this military response that was emily guarding interest will. and thank you so much and time now for some other stories making headlines around the world. taiwan says it has put its military on high alert after detecting dozens of chinese warships and coast guard vessels and waters around the island. beijing also restricted nearby aerospace china claims democratic taiwan as its own territory and is not ruled out the use of force to bring it under its control. trailer and police say an arson attack on a synagogue and melbourne has isn't being treated as a terrorist incident. the fire on friday costs significant damage to the building. witnesses told police they had seen people inside the premises for liquid on the floor. police are searching for 3 suspects. south korea's just as ministry,

so as a travel band has been imposed on president young, so he'll, he's under investigation after declaring martial law last week, which was quickly reversed. humans are biased and impeachment vote in parliament on saturday, but the opposition says it will submit a new impeachment motion against them this week. protests those insults gloria, are losing patience with the president. they want him to design, fee survived and between good and good faith. another so for now he remains in power but not for a statement from his own willing body. it is not clear what was he has, is the president himself, jo? both i promised to follow the people's demand and leave plans to stabilize state to fast, including his home to the pot to criminal, to sewing,

then shall we pitch him. therefore, i believe that will be no confusion in the process of the orderly leave. a treat communicating tongue until the president steps down the prime minister will close the consult with the policy to ensure that the people's livelihood in states as a man adult without disrupt me. see similar questions. us on the streets of soul. people are unhappy with the governing parties, compromise solution of withdrawing the president from his duties without a formal in between process done so because i support the change of administration through immediate impeachment rather than early an orderly departure . ok, so because when someone come to a crime, that person must be punished, it's a cabinet and the only punishment is, is the change of power. you tend to get

a boy to the opposition party keeps saying. impeachment and i just won that what the future in ration would say about the loyalty. so this might the meta on the sides, korean citizens, or if you just terrible, i feel call up when you get here. we'll use brief attempt to impose miller people on south korea has damaged the countries reputation as a democracy both at home and abroad. busy so then i'm going to do and it has already ended the carrier as well. some of his colleagues from a defense minister came young to him, was arrested by the prosecutor's special investigative team for his alleged role in imposing marshall. and the indian minister has resigned to the south go yes. leadership hines in limbo. the opposition party is calling for the new impeachment for in the week ahead. germany's opposition leader for these mats has arrived in keys for it talks man stands

a good chance of becoming germany's new leader after snaffle elections in february . he's now set to meet with you. cranium president bullard and resilience. he's the head of jeremy's christian democratic block, is expected to promise his support for the country and his efforts to repel russia's full scale invasion of using a spring in our chief political editor. and we say it, i prove not mikaela. what does the least math want to achieve in keith? well, 1st of all, he wants to demonstrate that he is where the price of points in europe is politically. math is not unlikely to become the next ton. so here in germany is the current polling is anything to go by because his conservative cd you policy is by far in the lead. according to the latest polls round about upwards assessing percent, where as well as sold the current time. so this policy is around about $1415.00 percentage points. so clearly smith is trying to come across as exactly that,

the potential next tons, the anti comes with a message as he says that ukraine needs to be able to defend itself. he's come quite away from just a couple of months ago, arguing that he would want to see germany's towers cruise missile system, immediate need delivered to ukraine and build them is it landscape will certainly hope that he would fulfill what he sees as a promise. if he was to come into office, although we have had him and so these may have become a bit more courses on this issue and creating a conditionality. if that'd be put in, doesn't stop attacking vital infrastructure. you mentioned that they are you creating present enrolling? there's a lensky once torres, cruise missiles, from germany, chancellor or shots, has been rejecting this. could you explain mathis position a little more as well? he essentially is arguing that ukraine must be arguing from a position of strength. he wants to change the dynamics. and this concept as he's

stressed to 1130 a puts and basically to say to cool the saw, it's quite literally a he wants to create a conditionality. where is if that inclusion doesn't stop attacking crucial infrastructure, he would have to face consequences. but a lot of this, of course, depends on donald trump, coming into the office on the 20th of january, and then it will be a very different dynamic indeed as me then see how ukraine would be expected to respond and how many would be expected to act as an ally of the strongest, still strongest supposed to of ukraine, the united states mechanic who's now. thank you so much. i so mania is now heading into a period of uncertainty following the enrollment of last week's presidential elections. the country's constitutional court voided the results of the 1st round over concerns of foreign interference. the incumbent will remain in his post while

the courts and the government find a way to prevent further meddling when the election is held. again. he will be, as jack park has been speaking to people about the fallout of the ongoing political turmoil berella on the price. so as far was on the stand here in downtime, bucharest. and is one of millions of people in romania who voted for the far right . m p. u. pro rustic candidate in the 1st round of romania is not canceled. presidential elections, morgan bumper. we have no money for bills. they've sold everything they could from romania. they don't want to leave power. these invented, some lies that rushes behind him. in fact, they are lies because the people know he's a fair man joining pencil, good football, or recreational work. it was this man colleen, joe jessica, who she hoped would turn the political tides in romania the arrived here at the polling station at the weekend in protest. off to the 2nd round,

he'd hoped to contest was cancelled by the constitutional court. it cited evidence of meddling on social media channels like to talk to promote his videos to jessica, who denies russia with supporting his campaigns. he often says he's fighting for what he calls peasant foam, is people like petri talk who, who comes into the city market from the rotary countryside north of bucharest, to sell his organic farm, produce the petri, didn't vote for him, the che. why? because he has some very strange things that the ordinary citizen cannot garage and the, instead of doing one that i'm petrie says the economic situation in romania for small businesses is increasingly challenging. there may be many different opinions here and remain. you're about exactly what happens to see the elections and all, but the reality is, to some extent, that's gonna have to be put aside. the country needs to hold you elections. and

they're going to have to find a way to do that. also, the cancellation of the election, rumanian police raided a number of properties owned by people of a suspect. we're involved in schemes to artificially old men's georgette schools online reach x. but say romania is institutions must work tirelessly. it prevents meddling when the election is a held again, i do not think that the romanians are so naive to repeat this kind of situation that we are able to learn from this experience. and to have a true democratic debate and a free and fair competition. there is a challenge joe. jessica will not be permitted to run again and back on her flowers to the railway says that will be proof that her democratic rights is being taken away by people when the next elections will be held. i will still vote for calling to address you still calling georgia secure lot for the the book and enjoy this for

us elections and are due to be held here in the romanian spring as early as march or april. and before we go, here's a quick reminder over top story today, russian state media say al, since they are in president massaro, beside has, as bob has arrived in moscow and been granted asylum, there is around the world have been celebrating at the end of his family's half century rule after a lightning offensive fire rebel forces toppled with the rush. and don't forget, you can always get the, the leaders on the goal. just download our app from google play or from the app store that will give you access to all the latest from around the world, as well as breaking news notifications. there's lots of sports business, 10 entertainment news, plus now in the background that not responded around the globe. and the light speed of our programming is also on there. just one click on that. you're all up to date of next week. go out for go with reports on solar powered clinics and kenya
