to become closed in a cru see a political conflict went, oh, you lost the run. starts december 18th on d, w. the . this is data between use live from the israel strikes military targets across the serious saying it's targeting weapons stockpiles. spot based attacks, hundreds of people who left syria during the drink more the more than decades of civil war have to come to return on also on the prevent the united states tough. diplomat says he's consent of a resurgence of the so called is let me state in syria. bar is the great could be trying to rebuild its capabilities that we take a look at taking his role in the fall of the syrian regime and how it benefits from the asked bush out of us, the

anthony, how it welcome to the program. israel says that this carried out nearly $500.00. it strikes on the syrian military assets of the last 2 days is rarely military says it has struck most of a series, strategic weapon, stuff pass. it says it wants to prevent weapons from the asked that i saw the regime from folding into the hands of islamist extremists. the army also confirmed that its forces pushing further into a board of boxes are established following the 1973 middle east. for however, it denied reports that is read, the troops are advancing towards the capital. domestics, it's michael millstein is a senior handle as the television diversity is, dionne sander for middle east and, and african studies. we asked him earlier if he thought his resume as drugs were

the about stopping with it's in syria falling into the wrong hands. basically, yes, a, you know, the 1st of all the, the offensive, these really events the during the last 2 or 3 days and it is a very, the fancy, eh, and the main target scores are really certain targets like, or across and, and then most of these to be in may be sizes and because the, the non convention of eh, if a structural office, syria, and i think the law says that this is a favor because the actually a very good at all. they follow the normal excitement from the extra need for the whole the whole world. and because we need to learn from the lessons of libya and also your rock, and after the collapse of the co pay is sought to reduce is very easy, is very a and negative. you bad situation. and if the silver organization is maybe reddick,

a lot, a day control over fast, and they're leaving weapon, and i think that right now to use it is better, not only as i mentioned for you as well, but actually for the rest of the world that syria which is the very big carol's will be, uh, clean the basically the case and the weapons. it was michael middle started there, television university was the main syrian revelator about how much of july the has been as main well appointed. any during the prime minister mohammed out of she previously governed a small rebel controlled area and syria is northwest. you take sides from the previous prime minister who has been working with the rebels to coordinate the transfer power since the full that the government, the serious political future is only beginning to one full group called hire to here alshaun or the slid, the serial position forces the united nations,

the united states, turkey and others have designated the group a terrorist organization. but the circle is lemay state was also involved in the fight against the side regime. now you a secretary of state anthony, blinking is warning the militant group, a may try to rebuild its capabilities. i meant the instability in syria. history shows how quickly moments of promise and descend into conflict in violence. isis will try to use this period to re establish as capabilities to create safe havens as our precision sites over the weekend demonstrate. we are determined not to let that happen and will continue to protect our personnel against any threats from any course. theory and people have endured so much suffering. we have work to do to ensure that they endure no more. oh, earlier i talked to been haven't been tell a blue his pain with the foundation for defense of democracies in washington dc.

hey explained what is still left of the so called is let me state in syria. it's a pleasure to be with you. listen, this is one of the things that is united to trans atlantic communities to focus their attention on the counter terrorism mission. previously in large slots of iraq and in large slots of syria. so the potential for a group like ices, which has done deplorable and heinous and her endless things against military and civilian populations alike, across both sides of that border. the risk of such a group reconstituting is high and that's why the us and many members of the large international coalition that were instrumental in reducing the scale and scope devices territory, leaving it to just a few fragments of territory and this central desert and towards the east of syria today where they control plus, of course, the fact that they have about 10000 plus or minus a few 100 fighters is in s d s controlled presence in that country as well means

that we have to be very visual. it's about the potential for a chaos to allow this group. i getting the same kind of oxygen to grow their fire of instability in the region. and so i've been on these remaining pockets a serious danger to a peaceful spirit. indeed there's lots of serious dangers to a peaceful syria, one of that. so whether people who have been using guns to get into government will put down guns once they have government about the use values and interests of large loss of the survey population which remained largely peaceful. as the revolution turned into a civil war turned into a multi front foreign conflict. you know, we have many reasons to be concerned about different cycles of violence in syria coming out of this is just one of the there is a interference or interest from several sides and see right is right of targets. weapons and munitions defies turkey. i'm is that the kids in the north and the us

attacks office target. so lots of interest, lots of people focused on what's happening here. how effective and or dangerous are these interferences at this point. while these interferences, by this point in time late 2024 have essentially shaped the syrian politics and the and what's left this, there is security strategy today. obviously of course there is no core central government there by the abilities real, for example, to go after a sod regime controlled assets or former as i've resumed controlled assets like elements and it's chemical weapons program elements and it's missile program. elements of this navy and air force reportedly today, that is aside the fact that tracy has used arab militants and elements of its own government to try to make sure that the kurdish lead regions in the north and east do not find a way to connect with one another to form a large autonomy. so,

and so really these for interviewing says, which used to empower local forces or target certain local actors. early on in the syrians, civil war have now made it the defining feature of foreign relations with syria. so certainly keep your eyes on a turkey israel, the us, the ron russia, even to see how they use military might to shape local forces and the facts on the ground. oh, as a current leave to some extent, not higher. here as some inquiry for ideas. the outgoing bought in ministration. still has a bounty on eligibility and can see this, the group a tara group as through many other countries. is this about the change? any thompson? one indeed does wonder if this is about to change? one indeed does wonder why the us, which is use drones, for example, to go after many al qaeda. ling durham kind of backed friends, forces affiliates across a whole host of your stations in asia, in the middle east. that africa for example,

have not in the past few years when there was that stalemate, i go after war of h t s forces and even the h use leader. mr. giovanni that you mentioned. so certainly what does the, the prospect of dangling that a, a, not just removing a that's a bounty, but even potentially a di listing as being in the office. is it likely right now, i would say probably very, very, very highly unlikely. but i could also not see it being a non 0. so i think anything is on the table if there is a fundamental change in b a here by forces on the ground. but we can't be forced into however, is a false sense of security words. the us prematurely reward something and then you have a reversion to pretty bad behavior. and given the fact that he has been very sophisticated, particularly when compared with other jihad is the reason it's groups in the region, in terms of it's messaging in terms of how it's been quote unquote, governing recently where it leaves a lot of room for skepticism. and a significant time will have to pass between before any reward before any

significant change in us policy, at least at mind you towards this group is given now is fundamentally the testing period to see if people will live up to their words. and been telling the great taint your insight. thank you so much. thank you. to britain baseball monster says they is still fighting on going in northern syria battles between to expect rebels and kurdish laid forces have left more than 200 people. date of the last 3 dies alone. turkey has been one of the main back as of the syrian opposition forces, and analysts a suggest the full advice i'll sides regime is a mind that of opportunity for anchor a to increase its influence in the region. i took the correspondent julia han reports to this president to add one a to support out of your position in syria is one of the big windows from the full of special assets. so if you could kinda upholstery the rich and shaping see the

future and same distress and it's position in negotiations over 80, but it's a good here's how turkey ended up in such a strong position in less than 2 weeks. a position scientists from the islam is tie up to here. i shun goes together with tough feedback rebels toppled aside through gene. so teen years after his crack down on the anti government protest ignited serious of the rebels capture of the main northern city of a level. neither took his folder before pushing all the way to the capitals. i must course. instead of cussing the run away, leaving behind the syria, when nearly 1000000 people were massacred, 12000000 uncomfortable had to leave to drill, shade, and many associates and return to revel jolla color. a. kutrovitch edwin's government has so far denied any involvement in the rebels operation, but add one has long pushed for the else throughout. besides calling him not

a rough and backing up position forces in syria's northwest. it's highly improper than that. so the ration at the well 3rd at this k a and the speeds observed results at least some sort of a, a, c, k. she supports a or at least 3 nights. so how does to keep benefit from all of this? you can see one way here at the turkish florida with some syrians have gathered with their families, their belongings, suitcases ready to head back home, back to syria. add one can make good on his promise to return many of the free 1000000 syrian refugees. turkey has hosted for more than a decade, anti immigrant sense and then does live here in the country and add on has come under increasing pressure to send people back. i'm just showing me a good deal. i'm going to damascus now to see my family. i haven't seen them in 14 years, an adult is go now i will see them and they also have to go online. he to go home, those like it and all that outside is gone. god willing,

we will take them back and decide to get the, you know, she doesn't show up. it's not important. what i'm going to eat is what i'm going to drink is important that i'm going my home. my home is just for you. city as a free and that's it. add one is also looking for security benefits in northwest syria. he's pushing ahead with plans to establish what he calls a security course or so he back rebels and launched and offensive again. scottish fights is trying to sell them from the turkish florida. this is since the local coder civilian seeing safety. the offensive also allows to key to push back service fighters and spacing them from strategic positions. and we're going to purchase said yes, which you don't. you don't have use as a security threats. juju, it's being sweeps up to j. k. b, a power and quinn's don't come without risk to add one in. the longer term concord is not controlled. ism is higher. the item which is officially considers

a terrorist. and it remains, i'm clear if to, if he wants to expand his insurance in the area now controlled by the extending influence over the new the culture. it's a 2 theories for the boat, which is a huge city. the woods demands extension. it couldn't make and politically invested investments. trump to mike and turkey spice experience in managing areas under. it's the fact to control the northern syria as being a fraud with the changes we see to we did locate this content and even violence exist. so now it looks like ad on has, has been strengthened, twilio, ron and russia has lost regional insulins with their l. i a sub semis. but the political baffled to serious future has yet to be decided. right from julia and that's old. now, coming up next, we have a documentary following one amazon tribes push to protect. they hung back and then
