to use become clones in a cruise geo political conflict. when, oh, you lost the run. starts december 18th, on d w. the . this is the, the news live from ballot. syria looks to the future as parliament says, it is ready to help build a new country. the as the mist rebels who ousted syria and ruler sharla saw a set the control troubles in puerto. so 2 or 3 times a transitional government. also all the programs who are the key players in serial . now they spread groups talk to the regime together about the different agendas and allegiances could cause fresh problems as well as prime minister benjamin mentioned, y'all arrives to testify for the 1st time in his long running corruption trial is

charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust. all of which he denied the god of his welcome to the program. readily does have begun to establish the control in syria. the parliament made up of former assets. supporters says it will backs the people's will to build a new country. the rebel lee, them lead, who let the offensive against they also have president bush, i'll also out as met by the outgoing prime minister in damascus. meanwhile, israel, the us and turkey have launched, strikes in syria aimed at defending the interest in the country. they say this try sought to prevent weapons and military sides falling into hostile homes. us and earlier we spoke to journalists, mathias earbuds, in common sleep, and an area controlled by cards. and so in democratic forces,

he witnessed the strikes last night. yes, from this balcony where i am now, we saw them yesterday, around 10 or 11 o'clock in the, in the, during the night. they were took place one or 2. can you be just away from here? where the, the airport of comedy actually is a this output airport had been controlled by assets soldiers until such a day. then they left and curtis, the troops took over the control of this airport. and now israel supposedly attacked uh this uh airport heavily during one hour we saw a lot of um and munition exploding here, a really close to the city of chemistry. and israel had carried out more than a 100 strikes the 2 different military sides in syria, from an attack, yet the coast in our,

on the south and anywhere where they expect amunition and of the acid regime, which is road does not want to fall into the hands of the rebel groups. now you are this a curtis dominated area that how the various rival groups acting off to the fall of the regime. all they called for aging was, uh, the 8880 s lead groups. they that the rebels who took damascus yes for sure. the actual operating informally so far the code is leaders. they are communicating with the leaders and the moscow's in egypt. and then other regions, they'd try to play an important role in the new syria. but it's not confirmed yet. what kind of sir this would be, and the idea of a leader out of july and the from the main melisha group is to maintain the public institutions working to and do not exchange

a lot of property and pro use so far in order to be to carry on then to go on as fast as possible and with a functioning system. but it is for sure that syria will be different. after this of a change in power. it will be a different face. and so far, the rebel groups, which are really em with different intentions and they are negotiating about the new way syria will be got on monday. so if you, you mentioned the transition of power, that is progressing. can you tell us what measures are being taken by siri as a newly this so far, they tried to get all the prisoners out of the prisons, and it's really not sure if that is, is anyone else left in these buildings. and they want to, to have the business as usual, as we can say, they tried to open the board has lots of tools and control every one or tried to

control and everyone, the refugees joining us and the institutions, members of institutions who come into syria. they try to not lose the control on his board as they tried to maintain the public institutions working and to a certain degree bod. yeah. as i said, and they're also in political negotiations. so taking place and um yeah let's, let's see what, what is the, what's the outcome of this so far we have no conclusions or no. um, no, really, really big steps, which would it be taken um from the table? the dental as much as you, but the reporting from conversely, the rebel coalition, the top of the outside redeem, is made up of groups with clashing audiology allegiances that couldn't become a problem, but it comes to jotting a path for serious future. there's a look at how the final offensive and folded and the various groups that took part

i do. mohammed al gilani was greeted by cheering crowds at the my a mosque. it was his 1st public appearance and says, and search and group. hi, at teddy at ocean o h t s seized the capital city, damascus. this victory, my brothers is a new history for the entire islamic nation. this victory, my brothers is a new history for the region. gilani is the syrian implement. jihadist who has roots in, i'll call you to and is labeled a terrorist by the united states. his recent decision to use his real name off my to i'll shut off and when minute true fatigues instead of traditional jihad, his clothing is being interpreted as an attempt to be seen as a credible political fig. gilani built up the h t s, and syria's north west italy province where functions like a state governing 3 local ministries, the 2 to sharia. lo,

she is likely to be a key figure in syria during fluid. and his said he does not plan to enforce his nomic low on religious and ethnic minorities. i'm looking to know what will be top of it is on. and i left those insurgents belonging to the syrian national army, right? 3 government defenses into the west of the city with little resistance. initial coalition grew out of the assume a free serial no me. which was founded by defected members of the armed forces in 2011. it comprises disparate on the anti government groups. it has strong backing from turkey, but the groups don't all share the same political or religious views. yeah, outside defined and local government buildings in northeast in syria. cod dish groups to face that shoes and post as of members of this odd family. was celebration that down for a bit. it was

a 13 years we've been waiting for this day now. it was just come. this is the day for the cards and the hold of curtis down to celebration. i was up and god willing, it will be full of joy and happiness. code is dominated forces governing autonomous region in parts of north and syria since 2015, together with arabic and smaller ethnic groups, they form the syrian democratic forces. a rebel group that expanded during the civil war and this box by the united states, despite sharing an enemy and massage in his regime. these disputes of deep animosity to lose the neighbor to key to touch his government, his loan for several minutes. the interventions against the men recent is to get the syrian rebel grieves to uphold the sod regime. but the clashing ideologies and allegiance is could be a challenge when deciding and serious future. so what are the prospect's

for our last and peace and democracy and syria with h t. s. in shots? i put that question to the professor of international relations hominy taurus at the university of reading in the u. k. a warning, i think, i mean this is blasting piece is a very long term plan, right? so it's, it's not something that happens quickly in any context, no doubt the, the fall of the aside regime was a can be seen as a step towards a more peaceful syria. and certainly for the large part of the population living in syria. and we have to remember that we're not dealing with 2 decades of an outside regime. we're dealing with more than 5 decades of an aside regime because i thought the higher since father was in charge before the opposite side. so i think we, there's certainly the prospect of the need for for time. and it seems that h t s and it's leader wants to take are very disappointed. and he,

he in particular and shut our giovanni has insisted on the fact that his organization is very disciplined, both military and politically. and there have been, you know, that some, a lot of the, a lot of the, the, the good steps to rush have be made in terms of, of opening up to dialogue. and at least speaking the words of dialogue with the old regime and with other functions around. so what would you identify as the main obstacles of main problems with the transition? now they have to there has to be a, a, a coming together of very, very different forces that have very different interests, right? so we, we saw that although there have been discussions and contacts between the vh ts with coalition and kurdish forces of the north. we have to find

out what that actually means. we have to understand how a lot of the tribal leaders, whether it's in the south another area, is going to react them, whether they are going to bring their communities with them to support this. so there is a, a real work of, of bringing together all the different communities and, and, and also most importantly, when maybe not most importantly, as it is, what's a regional and international forces are going to do. and whether they are going to actually support an inclusive piece process, or if everyone is going to try and make sure they gain advantage from the situation . now it stairs is on the terrorist list of the us and the, and the e. u. is it now the time to remove them from that list on the list? how are very problematic and there's some very good research on how they impede

piece processes and the, the prevent groups from transforming into more min audra it movements. and certainly this is what h d s is trying to portray it, right? they are, they are transforming or have transformed into a more moderate movement. and, and these towers listing are seen as an a can be an impediment to that. so i think one of the ways in which this transformation can happen is that when these groups change names, the various institutions that list them have to decide whether they are only a continuation of the previously bad group or actually something new. so potentially this allows an opportunity for both international, the adjuster community, whether it's the un sanctions, the u, the u. k is less to say action, no, this is a new grouping. and we don't want to list them right away, or to say no, they are exactly the same and they're, it's just an alias. so i think potentially it's seen as put the move could be that

they change their name and then it is up to these for an actors to decide whether they are in fact in you for us. thank you very much. how many tardies there from the university of reading in the u. k. the falls is also the regime is being celebrated by most of the roughly 3000000 syrian refugees living and neighboring turkey. many of them uh hoping to return home the day after level ceased control of damascus, syria and started lining up at border crossing. to see welcome to the syrian sling, the civil war that broke out in 2011. and since hosted most syrian refugees than any other country, cherokee has also provided military and financial backing to a position rebel groups in syria. texas president said he will ease the passage for syrians wanting to return home. is dakota color subject as syria

returns disability, god's willing to little that it's people will be able to return their safely. so i believe that this will bring an end to the longing that our syrian brothers have failed the country for the last 13 years. some boys are well, we're seeing signs of this already to prevent congestion and to ease traffic. go out and i sort of look on my zillow. we're opening the yellow dot bought a gate for crossing. did you set it on through of course bundle julia han is on the tucker story and board as well as you can hopefully see there, right behind me, people are gathering here at this turkish border crossing. it's cold up our how on the syrians side, they're lining up entire families with the small children. they are pushing suitcases. they have brought belongings and all of them want to go back home to

syria. now that the assad regime has full and i just spoke to one young man, his name is sissy and he's 21 years old. he came to tuck you from the mass coast. about 6 years ago he fled to taki. he slept the said regime and he now wants to go back there because he says he hasn't seen of his family members and all those years, especially his grandmother. and he now hopes to re unite with them. and he hopes for a new syria for a safer syria and visa story. similar stories people here are telling us the turkish authorities have not disclosed yet any figures about how many people have made their way back to syria and recent days, especially since the weekend since it became clear that the subs regime is no more at present and add one said he expects the numbers to increase as the stability in syria, as there is more stability in syria. and he also said that turkey would open another

border crossing here in the area, possibly today to avoid congestion, to deal with the bureaucratic process obviously involved with making people return to syria, letting them return to syria. but i think it's also important to mentioned that not everybody is now rushing to go back. i've spoken to friends here in the country, syrians who say, look, we want to wait for us and see how this whole transition period is going to look like. how the new government is going to look like before we make this huge decision to leave everything behind here in talkie and go back to, to syria. because obviously there are still so many and such and t's there across the border and syria. yeah, we'll present and add one benefit from these refugees returning to syria. and if so, how well, suddenly the president has come under a lot of pressure, particularly in recent years to find ways to send many of the 3000000 syrian

refugees here in turkey, back home. and ty, ever in sentiment has increased. there is often been open hostility to woods as syrians even violence. and the president has struggled to find ways to send people back. that has to do the entire immigrant sentiment with the economic troubles. turkey is facing among others. and it's really become a domestic issue for him. something that's heard his popularity ratings, and now this way has opened up, the assad regime is gone, and people want to go back voluntarily. so politically speaking, that is a good development for ad on he canals to portray himself as the one who's always been supporting the syrian opposition as the big friend of the syrian people. and that's what we can do right now at turkey. back to rebels have joins and have done this offensive that we've seen on falls a less than 2 weeks together with this main is a missed a groove

h t us. uh so jackie was in that way also involved because the turkey back rebels were involved in this offensive. in many observers every that present ad one is one of the big regional beneficiaries from assets full on car will have more leverage. and we'll say when it comes to a, when it comes to decide of a serious future, any one who decides or who makes any political agreement of a serious future, we'll have to talk to on crow. and we already see there was phone diplomacy. we have seen a phone calls between the us government and so if he un secretary general good terrace spoke to the turkish government about rebuilding steering institutions and rebuilding reconstructing cereal. of course is another task where i could imagine the turkish government would want to be involved. stew, w, correspondents, julia hon. the thank you very much for your time. also have a look at some of the world news police in the west side of pennsylvania and have

arrested a suspect in last week's killing of united health care. c. e o. brian thompson, neal, police say the suspect was found in possession of a firearm with a silence. uh, default id as well as a written manifesto. south korea's parliament has voted to appoint a special counsel to investigate president june. so feels attempt to impose marshall last week. protest is in the capital, sol, continue to them on june some peach minutes. south korea, just as ministry is bands you and then the other officials from leaving the country while investigation so underway. google has unveiled a new computer chip, which it says brings quantum computing the step closer to reality. google says the chip can do in minutes. both of the leading soap of computers currently would need trillions of years to complaints, soap, quantum computing code one day help in the fight against climate change,

tearing deadly diseases all making fuser energy costs gonna is that extra commission has declared the countries opposition lead up to john germonti mahatma the when a subsidized presidential election, he received 56 percent of the people who had already been president 10 years ago. prioritize the economy then logically appealed to young voters who saw his election as a way to get out of gun us. economic crisis is prime minister. benjamin netanyahu is due to take the witness stand shortly for his 1st appearance in his corruption trial head of today's proceedings. demonstrate as protested outside the tennessee court, where the trial is taking place. and it's at yahoo arrives to a packed courtroom where he is facing charges of fraud, breach of trust. and accepting bribes. is testimony will box the 1st time a citizen is really prime minister, takes the stand as

a criminal defendant. benjamin netanyahu takes great cab to portray himself as the full time lead to israel needs. but the criminal accusations against him on mounting a good sweat and his grip on power, as well as prime minister, no officially wanted by the international criminal quote for electrical crimes. also phases, trial of time. for over 4 years, he's been accused of committing fraud 5 very breach of trust. in 3 separate cases. case 1000 claims met one younger under the finally accepted lobby's gifts from rich business men. in exchange for political fav of case 2000 the ledges that he discussed covering the distribution of arrival newspaper in return for favorable news coverage in one of israel's biggest papers. case 4000 accuses netanyahu of intervening and government regulations. but the benefit to them is really

communications giant and exchange for positive media coverage. if convicted, you could face present time. so it's unclear for how long the the use, the trial was postponed, several times, sometimes at the request of newton young himself, but also due to the current of ours pandemic. in all 3 cases, netanyahu denies any wrong doing. when he admits he did receive gift, he says no favors were given in exchange. he answers the charges optimistic he made today to the caesar such as the savior of israel, the one who fights there, the bears than any other leader in these run and perhaps than any other leader in the world. uh, being charged or being convicted will. i think is legacy and his critics of accused of prolonging the war and gospel on purpose,

to delay judgment and remaining power. the appointment is only concern is his own survival. he wants to stay in power. at the same time that yahoo has been able to use the trial to school points with his support of its service. his the political constituency said, you see, i'm being hunted a by all kinds of, of negative enemies. even the judy sure system that they find all kinds of false accusations. netanyahu's legal team applied to delight this hearing too. they say the prime minister didn't have enough time to prepare his defense because he is too busy, but the will use jerusalem correspondents, emily gorgine of filed this report is following the nothing yahoo trial today. i'll send it to you. i wouldn't be able to stay in office if he is convicted on any of

the charges as well as nothing else is convicted, he will likely appeal to the supreme court and his role. and while the supreme court makes of decision. so in the meantime, yes, he is allowed to stay in office. there is a small loophole. he however, announces if the quote initially rules, not his conviction carries with it circled with disgrace. and then that means they do not have to wait until the final verdict from the supreme court and the commission can actually remove him from power. however, that would require a majority in the can assist, initials, parliament. i'm out of thoughts on this topic is not a gift. i mean, this is the 1st time that an incumbent prime minister has stood the trial in israel . how is the country reacting what our ordinary is really saying? well no matter who you speak to reading, nobody's particularly happy about this

a pool. this trial will carry on for weeks. that will be a public spectacle. really within that y'all are having to appear in court at least 3 times a week. i'm not while she faces an international arrest warrants, but also while israel continues to be engaged in the war and gaza, so it comes really at the worst timing many think. but, but it also, the child itself also deepens the divisions in as well. so depending on who you speak to, when you awesome, how do you feel about this trial? i'm going to tell you they're unhappy. they will respond to say with different reasons why they're unhappy and you always supporters will tell you that this is a witch hunt led by the lead, by left liberals and as well by the judiciary to toppled lesson yahoo! this is a nurse if he himself has been fostering throughout the years and which has also been adopted by many of his cabinet ministers who some of them appeared in court this morning in his support. but his critics of accused him of extending this trial

in specific, but also the one gaza to remain in power. so you see here how this trial and it's been and of itself deepens the divisions, even though i think everyone in this role is pursuing happy about the fact that it's it's, it's, it exists between regarding their reporting from jerusalem. finally, i have a story about a tablets and i mean the old fashioned kind not the one with apps and the digital screen. sotheby's is auctioning a 1500 year old model tablets inscribed with the 10 commandments made in the roman, visiting them pie. uh, it's the oldest soft copy of the accent. little it's about how much religion say god gave the 10 commandments to moses on mountain side. so these estimates that the tablet could switch between $1.00 and $2000000.00 and that's it.
