is coming very, very soon, we know when the story in for my reliable needs to migrate wherever they may be, the this daily news line from berlin, a rebel leader of become serious, new prime minister mohammed all this year. we'll have an interim authority until march 1st of 2025 of the syrians continue to celebrate the end of half a century of repressive rules. and we take a look at turkey's role in the fall of the syrian regime and how it benefits from the ouster of massaro side. also coming up, alleged climate fraud, uncover and find the w. we find evidence that carbon credit's worth more than a 1000000000 years. 2 didn't actually help curve greenhouse gas emissions plus

more than a 1000 firefighters bottled lasers in southern california, the threatened seaside mansions farms at the university. the welcome to the program. i'm nicole fairly as syrians continue to celebrate the fall, the outside regime. the country now has a new intern, prime minister mohammed all this year, previously governed a small revel controlled area and serious northwest. it takes over from the previous prime minister, who's been working with the rebels to coordinate the transfer of power since the fall of the government on the share is tasks. now it's forming a transitional government and says it's time for stability. income limits. the journalist mathias a bunch is in his saca in the northeast of syria. earlier i asked him to tell us

more about the new inter and prime minister. so yeah, this man was there as possible for the administration of the did with the governor rage where it h t, as was located before the, the, they marched to damascus. and he was a man who, who was known for administrating efficiently. and in a, in a professional way so that this region could establish the structure is needed in order to um, the total assets. and then he is know a point at, and t shirts and strengths and buildings between the m f industry. just the kevin of the ministers in the region and the new government and the mass, cuz in order to establish in the moscow's and who is similar to that of h t, as in e live. and yeah, i think many people expect from him, the abilities and the goods and stay but transition. but not all of the syrians are, are happy or, or, or are we looking for it to be into it towards this new,

a administration which will last the end at least until the 1st of march. because some of them see him as a religious, important, religious figure and personally, and it would be worse, responsible for religious, faster there. and therefore, many people literally present whether he might be if a man who will establish a strong in the mentor, his name is blue, is about so far as account uh, we do not have an idea of what would be the really outcome of his administration. yeah, if this is indeed a very tense time for this area and across the road, how confident are the people you've been able to meet that these limits rebels essentially will bring stability to yeah, it's not sure because uh the currents in the area where i am and they, um, uh,

facing heavier techs from the m, as in a meeting. sure. group of who, who is at bestbuy cherokee. they are in different locations and trying to push forward to the good is region. for example, in mind, beach close to the outside river is rather than combined to collapse just are expected to happen. and it also close to our place here of on for me just from house like a. and they are also a checking or could wish. and the s t f was fights or positions. so um, yeah, it's not sure whether the new government and the moscow's will have really a control over the whole territory and the control over every melisha which is involved in this methods because they're really, um it's, it's not the one was malicious. talk with the there were many inch interest and many different goes those journalists, mathias and but speaking to us from his soccer in syria. great to have you on the show. but he has thank you so much for that to and we want to look at the

international players involved in the situation, syria and for that i'm joint. now in the studio of, i'm a lease expert, donnie, i gotta tell you which of the many players with stakes and cereal are you watching most closely these days? i think the most relevant international access to here at the moment on all fronts that pertains to the situation in damascus and the building of a government of transitional government. but also the situation in the northeast way of call. what is able to just called from a stroke is militarily active. there is pushing back the focus here in democratic forces, quarters, militias, and so on. so to okay, is the most relevant actor and toki is also the one we have to say. who's supported this rebel group and tool based gave some leeway to do this stunning success, even though the turks, in my opinion, did not expect that to happen. but in the end, jumped on the bandwagon and declared victory. but i think that's the most relevant

after another neighbor, israel celebrated the fall of a sod to credit for it in a way as well. and then immediately started bombing syria, how the stabilizing can that be for a situation very much in flux? that's the 1st of all it's, it's being perceived in syria as a very hostile gesture as an attempt to exploit the situation of power vacuum and your own interest. and i think these are, this would have to explain to the syrians why they created this local buffer zone and why they were outlands and tanks and military personnel into syrian territory. even though they say we're just doing this to, to, to secure on uh, own interest or to make sure that we are don't, we don't have any bad surprises. that's what they say. but in the end, you know, people in the region have a different perception of what is really military activities. most of these are, these have been bombing various places, military installations, up to the, the, the, the port of low talk. yeah. small navy ships which they destroyed. so basically they're

trying to mobilize the syrian neutralized certain military course. the argument is we don't, we don't know what's going to happen in syria who's going to take over if we will wake up with a, with an enemy. and let's be frank, also the assad regime. oh is, was that kind of every hostile positive towards israel? but in the end us, i've never dad to do anything against israel. he, he let in his ball the, in the radians. but at the same time, then the neighborhood between israel and, and, and, and start was the most stable in the region. and many of these really security stablish men thought it was not a good idea to get rid of him. what's now happening is basically a scenario that's been planned for the situation of the downfall of the assad regime. and now these really military is acting according to its own protocol. and its political leadership is apparently comfortable with that. for most of his role aside, was backed by russia and are on what role do you expect them to play in the future a while. the radians, uh, have they have to deal of course,

with this situation because uh they have lost an important strategic asset in syria, but the rate is at the same time of very good at, you know, later on telling everyone that that was part of the strategy that they realized they needed to pull out of the right moment. they needed to secure the interest and they can come back any time. i think the reading room is a has a mentality of, of patients. and they would probably think, let's see what's happening in 56710 years, how the situation unfolds. and maybe we can then get back in and secure all interest that have business interest. but for the moment, i think the what i hear also from this security establishment, the roof of evolutionary gods call like the lead force and iran is very uncomfortable with that situation. they think that was handled politically in a very, very responsible way. um, but the good thing for the radians, as the reading public is not interested really in syria and lebanon on day would be happy if yvonne invested, but they have into the wellbeing of the country and not to not venture in other

countries. so there is no, ironically, domestic pressure in your, on to somehow taking aggressive post. you know, how about russia? well, russians ironically, but the same uh though, for different reasons the rest of the russians have been supporting outside for them for 10 years, almost. but they realize that if a site cannot defend himself, they are not going to invest anything to defend him. they provided the power, but if they don't have any partners on the ground that will fight against the rebels, they can't do much. and that was the case the see and resumed, the radiance could not so in the russia is going to tell us to and i think the same uh, same approach um that they are very comfortable with a so many islam is the leadership and syria as long as it's not a west and associated as long, it's not a liberal democracy, less than ally in russia, whatever is in his capacity, i think putting is going to try to make sure that that doesn't happen in operation with the arabs trying to support the toes. but i think the russians really

understood that was time to get out of the way what's, what a future government need to do to rein in that and for, and my modeling that has been so the stabilizing the past. well, that's a, a very, a big challenge that syrians are aware of, but i think we've seen it in other countries. the stronger the consensus inside the country is, the stronger the common division is. the more difficult it gets to, to fulfill for an interventions to manipulate the situation for an act us that operate by proxy would usually use a group or a political party, or some sort of a pressure group in order to, to, to, to gain leverage on the internal political process, so the syrians, one to avoid that and they have very much use to find modeling. they should really find a consensus on how to organize this government, how to structure the regions, and the expertise is there. and there is people who have been preparing for this moment for a long time, even though they didn't expect it to happen that quickly. and a long road ahead that was donning a gala from at least expert, always great speaking to you. thanks so much nicole. the battles between turkish

backed rebels and cornish legs forces have left more than 200 people dead. over the last 3 days. turkey daniel pointed out a moment ago has been one of the main backers of the syrian opposition forces. the rebels and the analysts expect ridge of type aired one to seize the current situation to increase his influence in the region. are turkey corresponding julia 100 reports to this president, add one a to support the position in syria is one of the big windows from the full flash i said. so if you could kind of bolster, it's the rich in shaping, see the future and same strength and its position in negotiations over a new particular section. and here's how turkey ended up in such a strong position in less than 2 weeks. opposition fights is from the islam is tied up to here. i shun goes together with tough feedback rebels topples aside through gene. so 10 years after his crack down on the anti government protest ignited syria,

civil to rubbish capture the main northern city of a level. neither took his folder before pushing all the way to the capitals. i must post. it said, august and the running away, leaving behind the syria. we nearly 1000000 people with massive good. $12000000.00 come. we'll have to leave it a joke, share, and many associates on return to the level what a color kutrovitch. edwin's government has so far denied any involvement in the rebels operation. but add one has long pushed for the als throughout, besides calling him a matter of and backing up position forces in syria's northwest, it's highly improve the salvation of food of altered at this. kane and the speeds observed results at least some sort of a. i see a purchase, she supports a or at least 3 nights. so how does tag he benefit from all 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 ad 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 live in 14 years, an adult is go now i will see them and they also took online. he took all home those like now that outside is gone, god willing we will take them back and decide to get the you know, she doesn't show up isn't having both of them aren't going to eat. what i'm going to drink is important that i'm going my home. my home is just for you. city a is a free and thought to add one is also looking for a 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 tuckers,

florida. this is send local code or civilians clean for safety. the offensive also allows turkey to push back service fighters and spacing them from strategic positions and weakening the code. you said yes, which took you to keep use as a security threats june to with things we've done, p j. k. these apparent twins don't come without risk, so add one in the longer term concord is not controlled e, as in this high apache i some which it officially considers a terrorist. and it remains. i'm clear if to, if he wants to expand his insurance in the area, know, control side glue, extending insurance over then you the capture. it's a 2 attorneys watched for the boat, which is a huge city woods. the mine suspension it couldn't make and put it. you could invest 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 changes which we did locate this content and even violence exist. so now it looks like ad on has, has been trying some twilight, ron and russia have lost regional insulins with their l. i a sub semis. but the political baffled to serious future has yet to be decided. and the look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. police in south korea rate of the office of president youngs, of guilt and connection with his failed attempt to impose marshall wall. last week . arrayed comes a day after parliament voted to appoint a special counsel to investigate the case. makers are scheduled to hold a 2nd impeachment vote on saturday. an air strike has killed more than a 100 people at a market in su, don's north star for the attack. hit the town of cob, come be uh on his weekly market day when people from nearby villages were gathering

to shop. it's one of several deadly incidents and fighting between the army and the parent military are assess group carbon credits are portrayed as a tool to help make the polluting industries cleaner. but now it seems they've also provided a unique opportunity for a 1000000000 euro fraud. the alleged scheme includes carbon credits from germany and oil fields. in china, dw investigators together withdrew and public broadcast, etc. f reveal hydro and authorities were deceived. it all started with a tip off. a chinese company had developed environmental projects at oil fields in china that were supposed to save millions of tons of carbon emissions in reality. and inside our told us, they were part of a 1000000000 euro fraud. setting up a real project cost tens of millions, west faking and project, just purely on paper like out of senior. you only need to forge of basket of new

documents and you gain hundreds of millions of bureaus and return. the projects were submitted under a german scheme, allowing companies here to meet their admission targets by investing in carbon saving projects abroad. in the months long investigation dw and its partners, adf acquired thousands of pages of project documents, and compared them with satellite images and photos. we found 16 projects which should not have been eligible under the germans, came a my because they were not building something new. take this project in china's sions. young region. the station collects gas that would otherwise be released during oil extraction. saving more than a $120000.00 tons of carbon emissions a year. the application lists the planned project start date, september 2020. but satellite images from 2019 to the plant was already there.

the for n g tanks are clearly visible. truck tracks and the security flare suggest that the site was in fact operational more than one year before the application in germany was filed. this project should never have been approved, its not acceptable for the plan to already exist before the application was submitted. and yet, germany's environmental agency green lighted, as well as 65 other project in china. their total market value is an estimated $2000000000.00 euros. the agencies president direct messner, told us that none of its employees ever visited any of the projects in china. they relied on the audits conducted by private companies. we only have 3 colleagues in the federal environment agency who deals with all of these projects, the type of the context protecting code data and any detailed uh into context satellite images. either we cannot say for sure whether the auditing companies were

in on the front. but what we did find were many in consistencies in their reports. take this project, which was supposedly visited by auditors 7 times. in the reports, they confirmed that the installation consisted of 6 big storage tanks and 12 generators. with satellite images and photos we acquired only ever show for tanks and for generators. besides very unlikely things, victor was on the side facing tanks. cons be missing. so the inspectors didn't do their job. absolutely not. or even was the ordered firm should be suspended, entitlements within these companies to just become part of the deception that would be a worst case scenario. the german environment agency has placed 45 projects under suspicion and says it is now working to resend as many of the credits as possible. the program is close to new applications. the full damage has yet to emerge. one thing,

however, is already abundantly clear. it didn't take a lot to defraud a system that was supposed to make a dirty industry, a little cleaner. and i'm joined now by the head of the that we use investigative team and he has 30 now he's our former correspondent in china and was part of this investigation when he was good to see, you know, who is behind this alleged fraud, who was deceiving, the german state. so the interesting thing is that on the 1st glimpse, uh, it was many different chinese oil companies at but behind it. and we found that in the documents and consulting roles or in other roles, was one company called aging comments. the company specialized on comm, offsets and on consulting companies that want to reduce that carbon footprint. we know that they have been in the business for at least 15 years and the business of, uh, these com credits and uh that they have been founded by a former official. so somebody was working in the state or organizations in the energy system and the energy policy sector. and she has come to the founded this

consultancy. and it seems that most of the projects that i know under suspicion has been filed by this company. you have spoken to members of the german government in your opinion to you think they did their due diligence when it comes to oversight. i mean, many people have told us that they should have been alarmed when they saw that so many of these projects when coming in from china, china is not a major oil producing country. and these are, this program is for oil uh for all it production for reducing call me mission is that or production? so that would, should have phrased along both the road of aging. com should have raised alarm bells and we also see that most of the projects have been audited by one of the 2 companies. and that's where of where of course, uh, the major blame lies because as these or the 2 companies were responsible to ensure that uh, these uh, projects were properly um, yeah. to inspect these,

these a project and there has been something has gone wrong there. of course, many allegations towards these companies because warranties themselves have a minor role in controlling this. but that's a failure by design they, they, you know, and these companies, they do find out why the alarm bells didn't go off at any stage of this process. i can give you, give you a definite answer to that. um, uh, this is something that remains to be investigated by uh, of course, uh, the authorities and also by a prosecution because of course something was there. but what we found is that the, knowing the system with a few tweaks, people weren't able to get this through. the, the alarm bells didn't probably go off because they were not stuffed. or they did not have a that their own was not, was not big enough in control to get it. now this fraud caused billions of yours

worth of damage. where did that money go? as far as we could find out, the companies in germany who bought these credits, paid by aging, call them directly via the as far as we know, via a substitute the or, or as a company in hong kong, a bank account in hong kong. so we do not of course know where the money was stiffened off to other people who might be involved in this fraud. but most of the money seems to have ended up with stage income. there is a sense among the general public that carbon offsets are a bit of a cop out for big polluters. what do you think your investigation and, and what might come after will do to the confidence the public has and these kinds of schemes for that has definitely been damaged uh to this confidence because uh certainly these com credits they are not as one of our interviewees told us demo

discount and bacon is not something you can touch. they rely on confidence. you need to be confident that you are paying when you buy such a thing for reduction of kaufman. this is an otherwise there was this. so of course, now the scheme is a very limited german organize scheme. it's, it's a, it's, it's, it's all done by german north ortiz in germany. offsetting comm credit, somewhere else in the world. that's one of the peculiarities i'm mostly also maybe one of the vulnerabilities of this particular system. but in essence, all the com trading systems rely on the same thing. you need to trust that these orders does do that job. and if it turns out that they have not done their job, this time, that will have a great repercussions for the whole system. that was the head of our investigative unit. and once he has put in a and you can find the entire investigation on youtube, on the line at 8. okay. all right, make sure to watch it. firefighters in the us are battling a fast pace wildfire in the state of california. the franklin fire,

near the city of molly blue and the south of the state, has grown to more than a 1000 hector's in size, threatening seaside mansions, farms and pepper dine university. some 1500 firefighters, have now been mobilized so slow as progress. an inferno has been making its way across southern california, strengthening homes, forcing evacuations, and leaving devastation and its week. for many, the damage caused by the flames has hit especially close to home. i remember playing in this house in the front yard with my schoolmates lived. that's how long i've been here. my whole life, the causes of residents were evacuated over night, as the fire quickly spread, many are still trying to leave the area. firefighters has been working non stop fighting this lanes day and night. but so far they haven't managed to bring the blaze under control. this fire is not contained
