more about the biggest problems facing syria and it's new leadership. there are a lot of challenges lying ahead for the new government apart from the economic challenges and the rebuilding of the, of the economy here in the country that i just mentioned. there's also the security situation. um that remains very well. what would tile? there are many conflicts uh inside of sierra that needs to be sold. uh for ones there is, oh sorry. the conflict with israel. uh the is really ami has targeted uh $480.00 targets within the last uh, 48 hours. so this isn't an open conflict, but there's also the worry that the is where a troops might advance further into. so you're in the territory, even though the army denies this claim. and they will say conflicts

within the country itself. we have, for example, the conflict of the s an avery's currently fighting against the curse and the news today they have announced a ceasefire, but we don't know whether this is going to last the w, stella and then over pushing from damascus. stella thank so much for bringing us up to date. the as a person based, wilma says that is still slicing in northern syria. baffles between took his bank rebels and curtis lead forces have left more than 200 people dead over the last 3 days. turkey has been one of the main boxes of the serial position forces, and i'm a list. so suggesting the full of pressure all sides regime is a moments of opportunity and cra to increase its influence in the region. auto key correspond that uni han has this report to this president, add on it to support how i feel position in syria is one of the big windows from the full flash law side. so if you could kind of bolster,

it's the rich in shaping. see the future and same strength and its position and negotiations over able to give such an add on. the government has so far denied any involvement in the rebels operation, but add one has long pushed for the else throughout. besides calling him a not a rough and vacuum of position forces in syria's northwest, it's highly improve the situation that's without altered at this. kane and the speeds observed results at least some sort of a, a, c, h 2 ports, or at least 3 nights. so how does tech he 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 move in a decade,

anti immigrant sense and then does live here in the country. and add one 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 to go 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. it's not been bored. as long as on it's 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 a security benefits in northwest syria. he's pushing ahead with plans to establish what he calls a security course or so he backed rebels and launched and offensive against scottish fights is trying to sell them from the turkish florida. this has since the local code or civilian seeing safety. the offensive also allows the 13 uh to push backs, service fighters and spacing them from strategic positions. and we're going to

purchase said yes, which took you to keep use as a security threats, june to with things with the p k. k b apartment. when don't come without risk to add one in. the longer term concord is not controlled, isn't this high apache? i some which is officially considers a terrorist and it remains. i'm clear if to, if he wants to expand his insurance and the area now controlled by the extending influence over then you the culture. it's a 2 terry's level, which is a huge city woods demand, substantial economic and political events, 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 which we did locate this content and even violence resist . so now it looks like ad on has, has been strengthened twilight,

ron and russia has lost regional influence with their ally of sub semis. but the political baffled to serious future has yet to be decided. are moving to another part of syria, now the golan heights. israel sees the region from syria in 1967 during the 6 day war, and next to it in 1981. now the territory is considered to be occupied on the international low. it's a separation from neighboring syrian control territory by a buses are supported by the united nations full villages in the golan heights, all home to a combined population of just over 20000. drew's. the drews are in essence of religious architect, most of whom identify a syrian, but hold is really residents cons, tonya, see my reports now from the old supply to area the, the, the new some, syria is a constant distasteful fall, but the show her in most of the in the is really occupied gordon heights,

a syrian drew's. she has family in the living room and syria. home is all in here in the gold and we're watching very closely and we are worried or by no one who we're scared about the future of the syrian people. almost all of them saw the student and especially we are scared for our relatives and families were in syria. i don't know, but i have now and any disorder. yeah. she talks to relatives and syria every day. just a few miles away over the border. people are domestic good. how are you? tell me if you're ok. thank god. thank god, we are very happy we are celebrating that, i'm know, and kind of a square people. it came from a couple of places coming to so way to, to sell and i'll have him as a to you, a few kilometers away in much those homes right on the ceasefire line with syria.

people are also watching as well as reaction. i'm right here at the seas for a line and the buffers in between is rather in syria is really military have moved in. and many people here see that as a violation of the agreement, which set up that buffer zone is, was that it has seized some areas which were left by the sea, reinforces and that the 1974. this engagement agreement between the 2 countries has collapsed. most people in this choose tone, choose not to become, is rarely citizens when the colon. hi, so a captain occupied and known to 67 and later next light is room in moustache homes. they're conflicting opinions. and when you have address it, 1st of all, i am pro assets. but what happens is, it's not my decision that i can at least, or i'm sorry, so what happens is,

but i hope you have that the situation with the other side would be better. and then before a man and there can be so the global academic into this, this sort of gene was collapse because he was unjust. he regulated the syrians, the kid, then the problem to them with everything with the bottle is with bombs, with most of the give me trouble with those. i think of it is not a singular human to was did it to his people. except this is what do you see? another worries what comes next to syria? my thought is cautiously optimistic that the new transition of government to protect all communities, including the twos community in syria, and you don't buy them at that time. and now that i saw his fall, and we're scared safe because delani was with all those wrong, which was considered a terrorist organization of the new model. so that when the 2nd at the most i'm nephew and heavy, i see how they're dealing with things on the ground that can give a sense when they enter the level. there's been no problem with the other

communities. in fact, while ahead of them as us, ma'am, i can swear the i the side did you, how about the life hopes and fee is that are likely to keep people on edge for weeks to come. it is a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today. how to send you an official say more than 2 dozen people have been killed in his rainy strikes and garza. several family members died when the house and news or at refugee camp was hits. israel says how most militants of firing projectiles from going to and remain a dangerous tele bonds minister for refugees has been killed in an explosion in the us gone capital capital kelly economy seem here 2 years ago is the most high profile official killed since the telephone return to power, no one has admitted carrying out the attack. the death toll from a russian to tackle new cranes southeast and city of jeffery has risen to 720

others were wounded when miss solves struck, a medical facility rescue is also searching for people, possibly trumps. on the rubble and coffee drink to the sites, higher price is global. coffee futures have his an old time high this week, one supplier is planning increases of up to a the next year. the rise is down to drought. in brazil, the world's biggest coffee produces a police in south korea have been stopped from searching the office of the president unit, so kill an investigation is widening into use attempt to impose law for last week. the opposition has accused the presidential office of insurrection. by blocking the police, right, members of parliament planned to call the 2nd impeachment, vote against you, previous impeachment, but failed because the governing policy boy called forces of those. um, total acquittal. richardson, i was jealous, father encouraged my who's in. so tell us more about the investigation is being blocked from searching the president's offices. a yeah,

that is right. so it is really the number one question that's also the public demands answer as to it is really a crucial question. because the investigators want to know what happened during those hours when the marshal was imposed. why that decision was made, how it was made. and now i'm, when the police try to rate the presidential office, and at 1st we don't have the korean use agency reported that actually the police indeed rated the compound of the presidential office. but later it corrected the use of saying that the police forces have been blocked from entering the building. now that is really outrages. so the security personal and of the presidential office lock you at the police. um, obviously this is something or some documents that the president wants to hide. i don't know any more details. i'm sure that will come to light in the coming days. but this is really the crucial question. and there was also a question that is discussed at the event where i'm right now, i'm hands also the improvise setting. i meant the business event where the prime

minister just gave a speech and he tried to, um, you had come down investors and saying everything was stable. but just the events that unfolded today. again, show that this is really, i mean we have pop from reaching a yeah, a period of normality. i mean, this is really quite an emotional question right now that the public, the mounts, answers to and probably, and tell us more about the south korean defense minister who's seen isn't he has a t play a in that brief imposition of muscle. yes. so the defense minister is an old body, i'm, if i can say just informed me like this of the president. they went to the same high school and he was seen as a crucial person and an open support to of the decision to compose the muscle. but actually we don't know his concrete role and some people say that he was the mastermind behind a t t initiated the decision. but of course would to make those conclusions. you

really have to be castle because i'm in the end of course, it could be an intentional. so by the president to present escape go to basically lower his own risk bunch of responsibilities. but of course, the most of the public are saying that, i mean, in the end of the president who made the decision, he's the final decision and probably also then has to take the responsibility. is it right? there's a defense. minnesota has been arrested and, and we're also hearing that he's reportedly attempted suicide is, can you confirm this stock? yes, so actually he commit to try to commit suicide yesterday night in his cell. that was just before, i mean, is he, there are investigation against him. post against possible treason, i mean high treason that is really a serious crime. so he's facing several years in prison. possibly even a death sentence, at least per law. that will be possible. and yes it yesterday, and the, the people from the prison where he is right now said that he tried to commit

suicide, but his health condition seemed stable at the moment. and this is all the details that we know at this moment. gentlest of thought in such mind who is in so far the end. thank you so much. 55 has a bustling, a fall spreading world fund and southern california. the franklin file which is near the city of malibu, already covers more than 10 square. columbus is the blazes threatening seaside mansions farms. i'm the university around 1500 firefighters, or at the see an inferno has been making its way across southern california threatening 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 have been working non stop fighting the flames day and night. but so far they haven't managed to bring the blaze under control. this fire is not contained and we remain under an immediate threat because of the red flag conditions. thankfully, we have no reports of serious injuries or fatalities. although no fatalities have been reported yet. the situation remains critical. authorities are warning that winds are predicted to reach 130 kilometers per hour, making the fire even more dangerous. carbon credits for trade is a tool to help make polluting industries cleanup. but now it seems like we also

provided an opportunity for a 1000000000 euro fraud. the large scheme includes common credits from germany and oil fields in china, dw investigations together with the german public pro acosta. that the f reveal how juvenile sources were tricked. 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, is in reality, an inside are 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 forward your 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. it's not acceptable for

the plan to already exist before the application was submitted. and yet, germany's environmental agency green lighted at 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. as we only have 3 colleagues in the federal environment agency who deals with all of these projects, the tire, but they context the technical data in any detail and they context satellite images . either we cannot say for sure whether the auditing companies were in on the fraud . 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 4 generators. besides very unlikely things, victor was on the side feast tanks, cons to be missing. so the inspectors didn't do their job. absolutely not. or even worse, the ordered firm should be suspended. been type elements 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 was 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. with me now is my teeth butting up from dw use

invest investigative team, and the former china correspond to a t s u, a pos of this investigation. what you said clarify for us, 1st of all, who is behind this alleged fruits who is actually deceiving the german state. and so what we found in the documents, although based on the 1st game, seemed to have been 5 by different companies with different projects. and there was one chinese company behind all of them. it's a company based in badging. they specialize on comm credits and on cost consulting . companies want to reduce the carbon footprint. i found that which is also interesting is the former official last be working in the energy policy sector. and this company seems to have basically made up all of these documents and filed them here in germany. so is it fair to say that the terminal socrates didn't at all do that due to diligence? and that's one of the, of course, obligations towards the, the, the, the german authorities. they have approved lots of projects from just one company

from a country which is not a major or the produce. and i'll do this is just eligible projects have to be at oil. well, so it's already a bit suspicious that so many of them came from china or but 5 by one company. so yes, but the real, a focus is on the what do you think companies private companies on whose audience these decisions were based on the locations that they might have colluded with agent come that we have no proof for that. but what we can say for sure is that they have not done their job, they have gone to the sites and they have not seen what they were supposed to see. and now that one of this has come to light is anything actually going to change. i mean, in the way that the german government approves schemes like this, the authority in charge was trying to rethink these uh. com credits. um there are questions around that because some of them have already been re sold, etc. so all the traditional aspects i so being evaluated and there

is an announcement today confronted with our investigation, the spokes person has said that they were working towards a lower that would mandates german inspectors government inspectors to visit all of these kinds of project in different countries. i'm not sure whether this is possible. honestly, i don't see the chinese government allowing german inspectors to rome or on china and inspect this kind of project. so i think we see what comes out of that. the question remains very difficult and that these kind of program that is certified in one country, whereas the all searching is happening somewhere in a completely different setting and, and the completely different country. this is of course, something that will have to be revisited. this program has not been stopped. okay, so no guarantees that anything will change as what you're saying. the fraudulent credits will was about 1000000000 euro is when they has this money gone. so

from what we could find out, the companies who bought these credits uh, dealt with this company and badging badging. com and they seem to have wired the money to their bank account, a homecoming bank account. um and um we do not, of course no where else is had there she is in that and etc. how much money went from there to others? but um, it seems that all the money um house 1st and foremost being collected by this one company. just very briefly, a common trading off is often seen as a co pallets, isn't it? so big polluters is this investigation going to make people trust this even less as one of the people who we talked to has said this is not discount and taking this on something you can touch. it relies on the trust that is common reduction is really happening if that trust is gone. of course, the upgrade repercussions for the markets t w's mathias, a building a. and that you can find the investigation caught you on the w's youtube channel
