hello and terry martin. good to have you with us. israel has launched a flurry of attacks on syria and military base is saying the strikes are needed to prevent weapons from falling into hostile ends. is really troops of also taking control. but the militarized buffers are separating these really occupied goal on heights from syria. israel has denied reports that his troops have moved beyond the buffer zone and close to damascus. a smoke rising over the syrian cap until after the latest is really air strikes. dozens of them, huge military targets across the country. according to syria and media reports included al fields, i mean, nation day pose. and it facilitate linked to the production of chemical weapons. israel says it's acting to stop arms from getting into the hands of extreme is

forces. i don't know who it was doing, but we're taking all the actions necessary to try to ensure our security and then with regard to the new situation created in syria from what's on the. so we're on tuesday, right. there's news agents and is really media published reports suggesting is really forces are also deepening their incursion into syrian territory. security sources say they were supported just 25 kilometers from the syrian capital. a claim denied by these really army that's up to israel, took over a demo to rise buffer zone in the golden heights. the area south west of damascus was a next by israel for decades ago. but it's still regarded by most countries as part of syria. israel says the step was necessary. we took some in some points and ruling territories and

near the boulder, you know, they're not to be surprised from october 7 in the syrian border. as i emphasize it is a very limited and temporary step. speaking at the golan heights on sunday, prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the collapse of the asset regime is offering great opportunity for peace, but is also fraught with dangers that we can establish a neighborly relations and a peaceful relations with the new forces emerging in syria. that's our desire, but if we do not, we'll do whatever it takes to defend the state of israel and the border of his for now these really airstrikes continue. the u. k. base serena observatory for human rights says the most important military sites in syria have already been destroyed in more than 300 is really strikes,

says default of the asset regime or correspond atanya kramer join just now from the village of much those shops in the golan heights, tony, what more can you tell us about is really military activity in syria and particularly where you are in that border region. yeah, i'm right now here in this too is a town of my social homes in the okay, part of golden hearts. and it's, it's was a quiet to you, but we see also the reinforcements. here we are right now behind me, you can see probably a uh and is really time the army is here, stations along the sci fi line. and behind that actually is already the buffer zone . and then if you look even further, then you would see a syria. and now this is all very, very close together. so what happened to you over the weekend is that what is where it concerns is that uh, is rarely, uh the is where the troops moved into positions within the syrians side of this

stuff isn't. they have been saying that the syrian army left those positions, they went inside. this is to repel any idea of the opposition groups or rather groups, some of the syrian. so to come close to the border here. now they also have research the claims or reports that we've been hearing from a syria, that some of the tags went even further. so we heard from the big spokes person of the is really military here, that this is no to that, the not a moving for the inside damascus, a at the moment. now the golan heights, where you are, that's occupied by israel is, is that likely to change as a result of developments underway in syria? atanya? well, i mean, the other major developments here is certainly we can hear this or was spending heavy okays in the sound of the fighter jets that are crossing from the young

people. he also told me, i mean no the last year was very difficult as well, which is end of the 60 days these 5 periods with has been a and, and it is row over this conflict. now there is no this a temporary cease by that house because it's more quiet, but you can hear the 5 to to it's now going to where it's a syria which is just to uh, behind us. and basically what is read is doing right now. and we had this over it in the report is that they are targeting the piece that targeting all the military side re, uh the for administer. you don't saw it confirmed there were targeting weapon storage is also likely a chemical weapons as well. a put it to make sure that not falling into the wrong hands also to prevent any smuggling to hezbollah. this is and this in itself and not something you've been seeing this for years, that israel has targeted

a positions in syria. and mainly they wanted to prevent iranian entrenchment in syria and preventing iran from smuggling weapons towards his ball. uh and then uh to it's live or not. so all of this, of course it's, it's in a very such a situation at the moment and we've been hearing from is really official. is that anything is possible right now? they're saying it's the situation in syria brings opportunities, but also be as risk, obviously because nobody's knows what the new government will actually look like or you know, how this new government in syria would then be have. but i have to say that's also very much on the minds of people here. and most of the townsend other to his village is because most people here do have family members. on the other side, this is all very close. and i talked to some people here this morning, they said they're very voyage and on the one hand for some, and the very mixed feelings about what's going on the, the actually relieved or you know,

that the south resume is gone. other than my others might have other feelings about that. but they're also very boring now for their families there to understand what will happen next. and that also these smaller communities, you know, these different communities and syria will be protected also by this new transition in the government that will be coming to place the tanya, thank you very much. our cause correspond atanya, kramer there in the golan heights. well, reval, coalition, the top all the assad regime is made up of groups with clashing ideologies and allegiances. that could become a problem when it comes to shop charting a pa for serious future. here's a look at how the final offensive and pulled it and the various groups that took part. as i believe mohammed giovanni was greeted by cheering crowds at the maya mosque. it was his 1st public appearance insist and searching group high at teddy

is alshaun. o h t s. seize 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 siri informant. jihadist who has roots and i'll call you to and is labeled a terrorist by the united states. his recent decision to use his real name off my i'll shut off and when minute tree fatigues instead of traditional jihad, his clothing is being interpreted as an attempt to be seen as a credible political figure. gilani built up the h t s, and syria's north west italy province were functions like a states governing 3 local ministries that adhered to sharia. lou. he is likely to be a key figure in syria during fluid and just said he does not plan to enforce islamic little on religious and ethnic minorities. yep. a little bit off of amazon

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. i moved to the celebration the 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 for the united states. despite sharing an enemy and massage in his regime, these kind of disputes of deep animosity towards the neva to key to touch his government, his loan of several military interventions against them. in recent years together, syrian rebel grieves to uphold the sod regime. but the clashing ideologies and allegiance is, could be a challenge when deciding and serious future let's get more on this now from journalist to asylum mohammed, he's in come mostly in northeastern. syria. was all negotiations on the way to form

some kind of transitional government in syria where things stand now to thank you for having me. uh there is a legal issue there is actually no one you can negotiate shows to form it to the transition. government for cdn. no, it's d. c have already started to nominate and elect their. um, prime minister was learning the salvation the government to, you know, to, i know he's in charge a long, sorry. and with the ex, probably minister of syria to the phone. the uh, the new transition government. however, just to look the phone discount structure and the my trunk. so this government, there is no any including go to the women even inside this is this government, there is no any do or no. and even the relations board talks with the codes without ups was nobody from ne celia to follow this. to follow this new government,

there is no even any talks with each other evils. who are back by talking to uh, phone, just uh this new uh, government team at a jc completed product. i haven't shown it and has no meaning. he said that his, he's a prime minister for salvation. a governmental fed lift. i know the are forming the government then like the transition government alone venue and special envoy for syria has been saying that h t s. and other arm groups are sending messages of unity to the syrian people. what the syrians mixed in those messages or tuesday handles of the fittest day, like let's say we call it the national security on the to the end of 8 of december, everybody has this whole, but now i think things have been change it. we could see a lot of this sort of become groups are sending messages on the media,

are the same guns, scaling and killing. um, there, there is a lot of voices coming from the most goes. so a lot of this individuals from this group's start to kill people started to the for those that are properties and still a lot of public institutions. um, lets do c alone cannot control this labels. and mostly i'm talking about the cont groups. there are some videos on social media, that's somebody called groups from my jo mosque in the most close eats cells, artist reaching out to lunch e and sending the messages to him to release g had these from his presents. so i'm not sure if that is going to be any soon discussion on deal between the city and people. mostly was a existence of this. what are they called groups?

a lot of them actually, you are foreigners who could scare you from ne celia during always has taught him and could join an establish some of the code groups you noticed with syria. i know they are fighting along side was edged us against raging. i know they are asking for a yeah, sorry, i just wanted to ask about what's happening where you are in northeastern syria. um are the curtis groups that controlled that area involved in any way in trying to arrange to govern the country moving forward? what are, what are groups in that part of the country? anticipating if they do the only time in the office, the most of them id already send message. is that so you already are, they are willing to participate in any negotiations, any yellows to form a, to a new government for to see the on the are open for any discussions. the same time

the, the foreign affairs co chair of, of ne city a government she mentioned that they are open for this kind of old folks to. so you can think of project forces and know almost control 40 percent from syria. and the need to be included in such a kind of, of negotiations or formation of the new governments. but it look like about the support of some of the tradition back forces. they are not, they are not willing to include the codes or any people from nosy, syria, and in such a kind of of deal. besides that, it look like they are trying to fight and tug against that he does, which is under the control of his defenders. region men bridge, that is a deal, not we members, you between turkey and, and international college and middle us to, uh, to we've the u. s. via from this area and turned over to the pro to dish forces.

but some of the thank you very much for talking with us. i was journalist assignment mohammed in northeastern syria, as well meanwhile, is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is due to take the witness stand for his 1st appearance in his corruption trial ahead of today's proceedings. demonstrators. protests outside the trinity, of course, where the trial is taking place. now, who arrived to a part of the court room where he is facing charges of broad breach of trust and accepting bribes? is testimony will mark the 1st time a sitting is really prime minister, takes the stand as a criminal defendant. benjamin netanyahu takes great cab to full train 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 phase of trial, a ton is a full use. he's been accused of committing fraud 5 very breach of trust. in 3 separate cases. case 1000 claims met on young under finally accepted lobby's gifts from rich business men in exchange for political fav of case 2000 the ledges that he discuss. cutting 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 where the communications joins in exchange for positive media coverage. if convicted, you could face present time that was on clear for how long over the use the

trial was post, turn 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. so he answers the charges optimistic. he might've waited. the caesars, this is a saber of israel, the one who fights they're the best 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 causal 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

then yahoo has been able to use the trial to school points with his support of its service. his 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 to. they say the prime minister didn't have enough time to prepare his defense because he is too busy with the will. but let's crawl straight over to our correspondence, emily gore, dean in jerusalem. emily, if nothing. yeah. who is convicted in this trial? would he have to step down as well if he's convicted and missing, john, who like any other citizen as well? first has the right to appeal the verdict of the supreme court. and while he's waiting for the decision from the supreme court,

yet he's actually allowed to remain in office. now, if the supreme court upholds the verdict, then he would have to step down. now there is one small way around the supreme court and not to if the 1st quote, basically rules that to his verdict, his code, his conviction is carried with disgrace. then the mess up is ready, parliament house of rights to hold to vote him out of power essentially without waiting for the supreme court to make its decision for the commission. that would mean the majority for that. this point that's very, very unlikely it'll. this is the 1st time that the sitting prime minister in israel has stood trial. how it work is really, is reacting. emily is almost as ready as andrew speaks. he will tell you that the very unhappy about this trial, it will go on for, for weeks, really for months it would be

a public spectacle. nothing. y'all will have to appear in court a 3 times a week. and that while on the one hand to face of an international arrest warrant. but also while israel is still involved in the war and gaza, so it comes out. this is really the worst timing for his role. and it also deepens the divide in this really is really society because if you talk to people, an awesome why exactly all you want to happen, then they will awesome. give you different offices, know who support as will say about this is of which funds i'm led by the is randy list. i'm the district and the media against nothing. now to topple him. this is a narrative. he's also posted over the years, whereas his critics will say, well, he's been using this trial, but also the one garza to prolong while he's been prolonging the trial as well as the war in gaza and for his earned political survival. so this really,

this trial is a reflection of the, of how deep the divisions in his relo. emily, thank you very much. that was our correspond emily gord, dean in jerusalem. now we have some breaking news coming in here in germany. authorities in the south west of the country say 3 men had been arrested on suspicion of planning a major terrorist attack authority. so the suspects were taken into custody on sunday in rage following link the investigations. for more on this, let's talk to our chief political editor, mikaela across the mikaela. what more can you tell us as well? first of all, these arrests confirmed what done. the security agencies has been warning about this 2 months ago in a hearing in the dom parliaments. that the threat of attacks of them is the most most base of the tax here in germany remains and usually high. now we've seen these

arrests and they are a 2 brothers of teenage, a 15 year old and a 20 year old demons. with lebanese descent and a 22 year old in mannheim with tuckers routes. and the other 2 rest were in the city of slipped gods, and the 20 year old actually had an assault rifle in his slot. also as data was secured and munition and all sorts, he say they believe there were acute plans for is the most motivated attack here in domini. so far we didn't get more details on what kind of attack that would have been. what is arrest? tell us then about the general security threats in germany while they reconfirm exactly of what the security, well, thirty's here in germany want to raise more awareness about that. that is a very high level of threat that radicalization is taking place. also,

particularly amongst young men to a residence here in germany and who are german citizens as well. so the threat is from within and not always from the outside because a thank you very much. that was our correspondent mikaela customer. it's now for nearly 4 months into nearly 4 months into cranes incursion into russia's course. region. ukrainian military officials have admitted their losing ground. they say they hold less than 60 percent of the territory initially captured there, and russia is continuing to make gains. nobody is rebecca or betters, reports from close to the front line or soldiers are hoping more and heavier weapons could still make a difference close to the russian border. we're making our way to ukrainian tank repair position. they were in a cluster of trees in a bit to hide from russian reconnaissance drones. this tank has just returned

inside your credit in territory. a little over an hour ago, it was inside russia battling on the front lines. it's a british challenge, a tank they and all the western supply weapons has been crucial in ukraine's fight . and the men here need them to continue with the market and their different opinions and whether to give a support, turn off to continue supporting ukraine or to stop. everyone here is worried about us is of the will see that support dries, opt out, his life will get even honda, what's up with it as well? it will be very difficult, very difficult, but we will fight with what we have and why invoices are we. so the soldiers from the 2nd separate air result brigade spearheaded the operation pushing into rushes coast region this summer in an attempt to take back the last territory. russia has mounted accounts for offensive fact find estimated 50000 troops that include soldiers from its allied north korea. so it's not entirely clear if the north

koreans have taken part in fighting. and then you know, officially we haven't seen the sex even if the all, the just imagine the a that doesn't change anything for one thing it does seem to have changed is wisdom countries policy on of ukraine using long the range weapons they've supplied inside russian territory in november of the months of waiting, you can go up the go ahead to stop firing us. attack comes into the coast region. it's not clear how dramatically this will change things. but the soldiers, same of the mistake themselves, will help in the long run. the who for the given the being then they'd be and i think it will take some time here. but until we see the results of the long range weapons and said she and they would not put them on that awesome. these website is aimed at this drawing and they may logistics. weapon supplies is the plus the sean . yeah. the welcome way. when they will have an in sufficient supply of munition

i'm food, we have to put the water and the rest of the dispatching. and then we will see the results one year with the so so hard after the thought that gives us the ability to what he thinks those hurtful results will be important for you. clients position in any negotiations to in the war. no printed back from we also best of them in my opinion, because corporation is an ace card. but some with the model as well as a huge motivation board. not only for our man kicked them off, but for the whole i'm forced to hide in a more green square yard of yes, the scale of the operation might not be that big or failed. most movies as well. this is enough. how many somebody falls within the ukrainians can hold on to enough of rushes coast territory long enough for it to function as an ice cod is the question that no one he cannot. so and finally, a story about a tablet, the old fashioned kinds, not one with a digital screen. sotheby's is auctioning

a 1500 year old marble tablet, inscribed with the 10 commandments made in the roman byzantine empire is the oldest such coffee of the ancient walls. abrahamic religions say god gave the 10 commandments to moses on mount sinai. sotheby's estimates that the tablet could fetch between one and 2000000. don't just a quick reminder. the top story we're following for you this. our israel has attacked key siri and military sites saying the strikes are needed to prevent weapons from falling into hostile and its troops have also taken control. but the militarized offers on separating is really occupied golan heights from series of next good shape for the refresher. on the 1st aid on terry martin for me and all of us here at the w news. thanks for the

oh, it's only you could spend the whole day in bed. it's just so nice and cozy for him and say, leave your dad's warm embrace and danger marks everywhere at work in the kitchen for a while having fun. broken. um, just look, i do show the sort of that went on and then blood pulled out of my mouth and everyone was totally shelves it. so how should you respond to an injury, cardiac arrest or high fever emergency 1st day coming up on in good shape.
