a very limited and temporary step. speaking at the golan heights on sunday, prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the collapse of the said 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 ready air strikes 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 $300.00 is really strikes, says default of the asset regime level coalition now in charge of syria has named a prime ministers to lead a transitional government that will be in place until the 1st of march mohammed out

in china. yeah. he was working in the development department or a ministry for the salvation government city and salvation government a long, sorry the, the july, any like which was established by the july, the in the club oven in 24. and he was, and we need to to be the prime minister for the salvation governments. after ward, no us go see to and us you mention, he was know we need to the link to the by do i need to lead the transitional government for the see again? no. okay. so it clearly no novice when it come when it comes to running a government having run this of salvation government in it live kind of, we look at that governments in it live as a sort of prototype for what the rest of syria can expect as well if you go through the details of this government, we could see that it was

a lot of compliance, the search stipulations of the people above where the action and uh like say you the services we just government was providing uh for the public services. it was a lot of compliance from the people who were leaving united live. however, this is not, not the most important thing. the most important thing is the politics and the policy and laws, which is as government was imposing good look related to the, um, restrictions of the freedom of the personal uh, expression of the, um, the better. so no, i really just or how people kind of attack in, in the community. lets say um there was a low which is called a public mode all utilities which was making a lot of also restrictions on, on the women on the people on the mix between the male and fan female. so they're

mostly the political or the policies were coming from a the cold. uh, chevy, uh, orders. okay. so that sounds quite hard line. i mean, it sounds at all just with the sort of pluralistic society that the, that the h t c says it's trying to build down in syria. that's the story. it's what's, what's we could see after this guy. he was selected by july, need a lot of feedbacks from journalist, from academia, and see william octavius in c, a, c. this is not we are looking for. we are looking for a new site to learn new democratic, new measuring system. we are not looking to apply you the same system of ed live for the whole piano. so i'm pretty sure that's most of the views about selecting of this, probably minister to lead the new transition governments are coming to be any good

many years. of course here in turkey will build up lives. a lot of people have set up at businesses at some have have the, have raised their families here. so we're talking about some people have been here for more in 10 years and many of them i think i'm more cautious. they are telling me that they want to wait and see how the situation in syria is going to develop. what the transition period springs are, the people who are going to be in charge of the country before they make this huge decision to leave all those lives here in turkey, that they build up behind and, and go back to syria. w correspondent, julia holland. as a toughest board acrostic and to syria, we'll take a look at some old news making headlines now and we'll start to nigeria where police side government have kidnapped more than 50 people. women and children were abducted during a raid on the village of cocking dow in the north west, which has been plagued by kidnappings for ransom in recent years. as
