the jews become close in a cru see a political conflict when. oh, you lost the run. starts december 18th, on d, w. the . this is the, the news coming to live from berlin ousted syrian president bush, our last odd funds asylum in moscow. after fleeing the rebel takeover of damascus, syrians celebrate the end of 50 years of the families oppressive rule failing what the rebels are calling for new era for the country. also coming up the south korean president, you and so your is left with a travel band as investigators pro, to shortly the declaration of martial law. the

law, i'm terry margins good to have you with us. the russian government has granted political asylum to ousted syrian leader, but shall i last saw. he fled the country after his regime collapsed in a lightning revel offensive to begin less than 2 weeks ago. besides, paul has been a cause for widespread celebration across the country and among the syrian diaspora . after almost 25 years under his rule, syrians are beginning to turn their attention towards what rebel leaders say is a new aero, for their homeland busha, a subs exit from syria, came quickly in the in looters picked through his boss pell 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 costs. they thank god. after 50 years,

we were able to remove assaults, families, god willing, syria is moving towards democracy and 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 in express joy on behalf of all the mothers of the missing prisoners. and much as 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 wanted happened. still unaware of the regimes in mid celebrations or the assad full plenty of questions remain about what comes next

for syria. ripple leda and format i'll tell you to a member of the mohammed galani is likely to play a key role. his ribble group, h t s, 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, gauzy l july. lee has said he will assist with the peaceful transition of palate to a government chosen by the people. but who we have a lead theory is next chapter faces and the norm as a task and unifying the country for now, many remain cautiously optimistic about the countries future

was pretty inductor hide hide here, he's a syrian columnist and a is consulting fellow with the middle east and north africa program at chatham house. london, thanks for being with us. tell us more about the rebel group. hi, a tire alshaun, h ts. what role should we expect to play in syria moving forward as well? thank you for having me. i think the group has clearly been planning to play a key role, not only in the political sphere but also when it comes to the security and defense sectors. the group on a, it's a light, a sanctions who start with no sense of the lead to the collapse of the region has already established some sort of a foothold in the governance of the not only eligible, but now they're talking about the receiving or being handed over to the government

from or the function of the government from the current a government that was appointed by the shutter aside. however, without the glue and its legion, we'd be able to play that role as to yet to be determined. that group is still designated as a tourist group. there is a party rewards for the head of his lead. their mom mazda is $10000000.00, so it's not as simple as the group things that there will be discussions between international actors to determine whether a, that there would be any engagement with the group and the what role that the group could play in a serious future, yes, it remains a very fluid situation. many questions unanswered, but h t s has adopted a more moderate tone than one might expect. given it's militant is less profile.

it's promising to respect other religions, for example, and facilitate the elections. does that sound plausible to you? a sauce towards that goal, because the a, the, the, the group has a systematically on it. consistently the dean distancing itself from like, tie down from isis. the group at ties was as car that in 2016. and then later participating in fighting groups related to a guide on isis in the areas the controls in northwest and syria. and recently, during the past 10 days, the group has also gave assurances and protection to minorities and different areas that were captured by them. also they have a showing this then on preventive valuations in different areas. and now they are

saying making statements that they wouldn't be willing to share power or even delegate some of the governing sort of tasks to other entities. but i think that the china and right now goes beyond the giving such promises and goes beyond giving assurances to minorities. the realtors now is whether the group will be willing to really allow fair elections that allow power to be shared with other groups. more importantly, allow a diverse and mutually accepted sort of political arrangements that would reflect syria as a whole. if you look at the track record to the group in the areas and they have control and especially in northwest and syria, the group has allowed elections. but those elections wouldn't digits in the keys in the eyes of people who lives there. so whether that will change or not,

3 minutes to be seen. just very briefly, there are many groups in syria including cards. are they likely to unite under h t. s? do you think of as well, i very much doubt the negro. what do you nice under which to use if we're talking about any a future arrangement and most likely scenario that there will be a coalition. that is would be part of rather done under the umbrella or control or domain as of edges. now, when it comes to that, the good issue in particular, the main challenge challenge is not whether it's the s wouldn't be willing to reach out or and establish discussions. the main problem right now is what rules it took you will play because currently there are 2 kish side forces that are fighting could just groups and those eastern. so yeah, with turkey, allow groups affiliated with the inside. so yes,

to establish that they looked with the chord discourses so far, it seems to be not at the future could it could have different sort of the prospects. dr. hide hide syrian columnist and consulting color with the middle east and north africa program at chatham health. thank you very much. thank while the syrian resumes, biggest back or in recent years, has been russia, which helped wage a brutal war there to keep bushel l. a southern power, but now staff, it's serious embassy in moscow. head foisted the opposition flag. but the future relationship between the 2 countries in flux. russia is called an emergency meeting of the un security council to discuss the situation. moscow faces the potential, the loss of its e, military enabled bases in the middle east. the russian affairs and those constitute pickup is following all these developments and

drawing just now called something russia long supported the outside regime. what do you make of most goes reactions to us of ulster, a true, frankly, terry. i think that the must go. it is as confused as i am looking at the very familiar sight of a syrian embassy most good, which is situated a bit more than a little bit from the kremlin. now, hoisting deal positions like it's something i never expected to see, at least in end of a single future. but i think that the kremlin b ought to still at the last about to do. and though we have some statements, some attributed statements from, from the crime in. busy the people that they will be reaching out to the new serial to where it is they hold. the security will be main. trying to file reports from the ground that indicates that the rebels did not attack the base. it did not try to enter the russian basis, but indeed,

a lot depends on the not only doesn't present the syria which off to the poster or the shuttle off of the becomes kind of meaningless both to other operations. we should heavily depend on the supply room, the rocks and bases and cereal that is a reference to be the lead be a more more. busy busy hafta uh, basically a restaurant is involved in the situation in libya as well as a reference operation mercer operation in just a dog show. i think that this is, frankly speaking, we are talking about a very significant uh, blue or with this very significant uncertainty about the future rest of the braces in the home of the many leaves and effort. so rushes bases on the coast of syria, the, there's a naval base and they have had a also an air base there as well. what are the chances the team can strike

a deal to retain control of those military bases in syria given how important they are for russia? oh, well, we don't know who's going going to run things in damascus. that's number one. i'm certain just secondly, what i think we can say in the home, you facts a turkey. it has become a dominant player in syria. so to keep the basis, pretend must tool to rank or must tool to present all, and whether they started doing that or whether they didn't want to be a tricky reaction to that is not yet clear. what is clear though, is that if the basis remain at least in the car on the set top, they will be very much dependent on not only on the good good will. busy the searing, the, because we don't know what is going to happen is you're ex, but definitely on the goodwill of the type of government. and this creates a situation of, of an additional blow to put this procedure in the reach. talk to us more about who

teens prestige because also over throw is quite a significant development for russia, given what you've just told us is put in status on the world stage and perhaps domestically as well diminished as a result of this coup. the o stuckey, the domestic elements. i think there are, oh, the propaganda will be able to spin it to the russian people and you have 10 other grades. victoria fulton. oh maybe. well, you know, of india and it's the syrians that have to decide who really was very much feel free meant democracy. so now we left because off of left and we can do nothing about the but the on the certainly i think yes of course it will be noted in israel. but basically a reason for nathan, yahoo to maintain a close ties to most has been gone. now that's also this got installed already they, we out of the conference, have been some of the policy effective very,

very well and is pay. this is a blue to the russians uranium cooperation in the region and the global stage. i'm absence of the subs and that's another 2 captains where this will be notable be washington, and of course kids for business, the landscape of this we can go to the use of course of charles to bring to the incoming american ministration that it can be much sought with must do and nothing will happen. so i think i would know mess up which angled you look at this problem . it's not good for patients, at least to fall constant. thank you very much. russian analyst, konstantin. i got a sketch up on a few other stories making headlines today. germany's opposition leader has arrived . emptied 4 talks for link mounts is set to meet with ukraine's president, florida mill. savanski is trip comes just days after a visit by german chancellor on

a shots and weeks before possible snap elections here in germany warehouses. conservatives are leading in the polls and also on a fairly, in police a, an arson attack on a synagogue, and melbourne is being treated as a terrorist. incidents. the fire on friday cause 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. thousands of supporters of the bangladesh nationalist party had marched toward the indian diplomatic compound in the capital. com. protesters have been angered by a tax on the bangladesh emission in india and the lead dressed secretion of bangladesh. she flags india says it regrets the attacks and will punish those responsible. ty will says it has put its military on high alerts after detecting dozens of chinese warships and coast guard vessels in waters

around the island facing also restricted nearby aerospace china claims democratic ty, one as its own territory and has not ruled out the use of force to bring it under its control. as our correspondent james traitor, standing by covering the store in taipei. james, what makes these drills around tie one significant well, this is a difficult question to answer the moment because they exactly. um what confirmation is come around. these drills is a little bit unclear. the only confirmed drills we have right now are on the tie. we need side to tie when these defense industry this morning saying that they were carrying outcome by reading this rules in response to what they say are like the chinese, through the chinese rules. we've not had official confirmation yet from badging. again, earlier this morning, we heard from the time when he is defense industry saying that to china had close

of 7 areas of lots of ways and it's high, one off of china is eastern coast. i'm with sending naval vessels to those areas and then separately routes i think from ty, ones, coast guard that, that was a must be about taking the number of chinese vessels in volts as needed. so i want some 90 bustles, 2 thirds of those of the naval variety again. so this is a complex situation in the sense that we haven't how beneficial confirmation from badging. and i think this could be seen as part of the strategy from china in terms of making it more difficult to predict. when these types of mid a true drills around tie one are going to put take place. a more difficult for tie one to respond into assuming that these reports of by taiwan are indeed confer. james, is it clear what china is really aiming for with these drills? you're saying there's this. there's an element of surprise to keep taiwan on its guard. but what, what's the bigger game here for china?

well, with any of these types of drills that we see from china or around taiwan, the goal, the primary goal is ways intimidation. um, we've seen these types of drills confirmed again by china. this would be the 3rd round of major military drills we've seen around. so i was just this year we had major the true drills in october and may this year, following the earlier journals following the integration of time ones, the president's and then secondly, in october, following the national de, addressed by this new president lighting dire. and taiwan. we've seen this increased in mid a tree, increasing with a trans invitation by china seems slicing the news harmonies president has come into the office in may. again. this is a time when he's politician that page in views as a separate system has refused to communicate with. despite the office of tools from the time when use government, it's important to point out. but when it comes to these types of chinese military

drills, that if the goal is to intimidate its high ones, people the time when he's population, that's high. when these public remains extreme, become around these types of journals. again, over the course of today, despite reports and managing that, that might be some type of them and attractive is to increase some of the tracks if it's here around. so i want really no sense of alarm um or panic uh on the streets of type a. i'm further afield across taiwan as well. james, thank you very much. that was our correspondent james chase or in type a little south. korea's justice ministry says a travel band has been imposed on present you. and so you'll, he's under investigation after declaring martial law last week, which was quickly reversed. you and survived and impeachment vote in parliament on saturday. but the opposition says it will submit a new impeachment motion against him this week. protests those insults corey, are losing patience with the president. they want him to resign.

peace, a vibe, and between bid and good faith and mother. so for now, he remains in power. but not for a statement from his own willing body. it is not clear what follows. he has the president to himself, jo also promised to follow the people's demand and leave plans to stabilize state to fast, including his time to the pot to criminal to sewing until we put him. therefore, i believe that will be no confusion in the process of the orderly leave. a treat the trading tongue until the president steps down the prime minister will close the consult to the policy to ensure that the people's livelihood in states as a man adult without disrupt the question. on the streets of soul,

people are unhappy with the governing parties. compromise solution of withdrawing the president from his duties without a form and in between the process. done. i support the change of administration through immediate impeachment rather than early an orderly departure . ok, so because when someone come into a crime, that person must be punished. it's a cabinet um and the only punishment a please. the change of power, you know, person tend to get it over to the opposition party keeps saying. impeachment and i just one 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 that i, when you're getting we'll use brief attempt to impose miller people on south korea has damaged the country's reputation as a democracy both at home and abroad. busy well then i'm going to do and it has

already ended the car years. so 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 martial law. and the indian minister has resigned to south korea's leadership pines in limbo. the opposition party is calling for the new impeachment for the week. ahead or returning now to our top story after the toppling of serious routine, many syrians who would play the civil war. 2 of the countries have started to return home. scores of people were seen crossing into syria on monday. like here at the l must not border crossing between 11 on and syria. news of the fast revel advances and take over a major cities in the countries have been celebrated widely among the syrians. yes for a while for the latest on the ground

in the border region, i'm a drawing my journal this month. he is a but he is in the region and he joined just now much because i've said you have just passed into syria. what do you use to us, 1st of all, where you are and what you're seeing there, i'm here in the code is region of ne, syria, and people here celebrate is 2 days ago or yesterday a, that's a prison and also to form a present also that left the country towards moscow. so people who are really happy about him having left about on the other hand, they are not really um regarding with optimism into future because they don't know what would happen now in syria. there are many islam is malicious and fighting with different a goes and one melisha of the so called syria national army s n a is fighting in the city of money which actually against quotas troops. and it's a really,

it's very difficult to say and um, to have an idea about what will happen in the next days and weeks to come between the east limits malicious and the code is troops in this region where i am is the toppling of the sod regina visible there in the border region, would you say where i am? it's not visible because this area is autonomous for already many years. when in 2011, the civil war began, and the kurds here established an even stronger autonomous statues and organized themselves with the democratic structures and assisted with the acid regime. for example, in the nearby city of commerce leads, the airport was held and controlled the assets troops and as the assets emitted cherries, uh but the rest was already construed bytes,

cool. dish fighters and cool dish administrators. because no offsets the soldiers have left in direction to iraq and they still keep organizing. and yeah, keep organizing their region here by themselves. the courts you mentioned at the beginning of or interview the people you're talking to. there are a bit nervous about the future, a little apprehensive. what kind of concerns do people have, who you're talking to their, what are they thinking about concretely? a serious a country with a lot of ethnics and a lot of different religious groups. christians in a level for example, that in the southern regions there are several minor groups and the kurds here, as i mentioned, the they control no one 3rd of the country and present a president to add one talk. he's president, is the anatomy of them and they feel they, they for,

threatens by out of one because out of one is, sees the, occurred to you as terrorist as if they would be of the same kind of v. i. s, tara groups were also present to you in the desert. so, and the people here fear that present out around and took you has an own agenda, which is not likely to be friendly towards chords. and so there are a lot of future conflicts to come. if there won't be a political diplomatic solution for syria as a whole, but he has thank you very much for talking with us. that was journalist mathias, a bunch, and the curtis region of north eastern syria. as you're watching dw news, just reminder of the top story we're following for you. russian state media, se ousted syrian president bush on our side has arrived in moscow and has been rented asylum. syrians around the world of and celebrating the end of his families
