9:03 am
they were sent to more were relatives or knives, searching for their loved ones, trying to find closure to you. a lot of the bodies were insult room is with very low temperatures. we kind of identify the dates of death until we finish all the tests. there's some torture marks, some signs of surgical operations. we cannot determine yet organs was stolen. they were put holes in somebody's, they could be from field execution. so that's not a problem. i've done made dining while these families search for their dad, the city is slowly returning to normality. markets in damascus are open again. they are an optimistic mood profiles because of the support here's um, i did not expect this. people are really happy. they're really happy on video. i heard the everyone comes to sylvia. of the situation is excellent. the time they
9:04 am
say today is chaos. but there's nothing in the situation is excellent. we're in a transitional phase. we must ensure this pressure is a transitional phase that we hope will pass well and we will be back to them before on wednesday, the interim leaders also lifted the curfew and the capital to encourage people to go back to work and help rebuild syria, the w stella mentos following the situation in damascus, and i asked her what the next steps of the interim government will be the entering government as well as i was, you know, i need the need of h t as are making a lot of promises at the moment. they are saying that they will grant rights to ok . so you're and also the minorities that nobody has to worry. they said that they will connect the syrian market again to the global market as to n serious ice,
9:05 am
a nation and kind of as a nation that has been there over the last years. they also say that there will be justice for the people who have be tortured and that all these prisons will be closed. but they also told russia that they can even keep the military bases and sierra if they stop bumping the country and, and stick to that. uh, so you, they are a lot of big promises and it is also a little bit. of course, what people here are wanting to hear, but also what the international community is looking forward to here. certainly is for administer as cautions that all acts of revenge needs to be avoided. how big is the desire for vengeance against members of the former system? as well, we hear this all over again. uh the rebel 5 says do say that that wouldn't be any
9:06 am
revenge. everything is safe. that it was the one it really spread. this message of everything is under control and nobody has to worry. i also experience that myself, when i am on the streets and when i encounter some of the, the rebel fighters who are here to, to kind of establish a new order. they're really friendly and they really want to spread this message or if everything is under control. but of course a fuse massive that's uh the other week when as a group now, especially the consequences of the regime of the site. and it was always the question what the need to say and, and how people behave. because we clearly can see that there's a lot of anger to a set. susie meant that a lot of people, one at that the old regime will be held accountable for the tour soon. older crimes that has been committed as the w. stella mina in the syrian capital, damascus. thank you for that update of syria plans of future without the aside
9:07 am
family. the countries to spread armed factions or looking to cement their own interest. among them are curtis lead sirian democratic forces, the sds hotel, large parts of syria, east the euphrates river scene here in yellow and government troops withdrew. they pushed westward, but the victorious is luminous. rebels have pushed back, leaving curtis forces and the people they protect. fearing the worst. a syrian kid's wasted no time and destroying remnants of a subs room there among the many syrian minorities to have something that under his link, the regime we'd been waiting for 13 years and today is our day. it's the codes incurred the stones day. and god willing, it will be full of joy and happiness. this is, nick could make up about 10 percent of serious population along with sizable
9:08 am
minorities in iran, iraq, and took a cit, protest have long baffled for an independent state, making them a target from various governments during syria's civil war. the kurdish lead democratic forces for to create a c, me, or tournaments area in the countries north, east. the us troops faxed them, and slicing the rise of use in the region. and in controlling the oil rich areas. but neighboring turkey has long fault against the syrian kids. it has back renewed attacks and recent days, fearing to dish sit partizan within its own board is key, has also supported the h t. s. rebels who toppled the aside regime and will now help shape serious future . many kids fluid live po,
9:09 am
just hours after the rebels took control of the city. while they've tried to assure minorities they're not at risk. not everyone is convinced. given to tell the motion of the minorities are worried about how they will be treated to uh, you know, how that those who have taken over now have come out with positive slogans and statements. did you need to go to see how it goes? but in practice, everyone is hopeful and expecting a call of the union people are waiting to see if these positive statements will materialize in practice so that they have the full of the aside. regime could present many risks to syrian kids. but as the country begins to rebuild, they may also be opportunities for the long held goal of self governance. after islamist rebels captured territory and eastern syria from us back kurdish forces, i asked middle east analysts bend to show why we're,
9:10 am
we're seeing these advances now. as well, we have to remember the last part of the territory that so far has been controlled by the curtis. and let's see here in democratic forces is arrow territory. the kurds have their home and has like a conversely in the very north east of the country. but over the past 2, so they have ruled over the entire area along at about east of you for us. and so there is an error population that it has been partly cooperating with s to esther. they have also joined the range of s to however, i think for many it has been difficult to have this curtis domination far outside, originally curtis territories. and therefore, i think we see also the pictures of people cheering on the streets. i think it is risky moment and of course any change now between kurdish and eric power relations . it's very sensitive. however,
9:11 am
i think this is where it comes from. a cease fire was agreed yesterday between the kurdish s d f n b. as in a turkish fact forces, what can you tell us about the conditions as well? this is absolutely important because other than h to s, it's s n a, the c or a national army that is supported by turkey. so i think we were mostly looking at what happens between the 2 of them and i think of the displacement we've seen over the past days. i think there were hundreds of thousands reported to be clean areas of main, encouraged, skiing from bids from $1035.00 cetera. so it is good that there is a cease fire and i think that's the main aim is to prevent further further costs displacement. and to assure everybody there is no pricing intended, you will need to see how that material license. because at the same time, we've also seen turkish from buttons on curtis territory in northeastern syria. so
9:12 am
i think we will need not only the agreement between these 2, but we will also need to see what church in the end says and what it does. and you mentioned the last, this placement in the range and, and can you tell us more about how civilians, curtis civilians in the region and have experienced the day since the regime fell as well? i think mainly it was joy because they have stuff that under the set machine, about 300000 sir and codes never got those here in national let's say. because it was also not allowed for them to have their rights to celebrate their fees. so to have their language is cetera, it was a repressive regime against them. services, right? i think the feeling of joy west bear because they knew now on your end you were, i could start for them and possibly autonomy. however, they also were a friend that this might not last that they might been christian of error interest h to s and others. and so i think it was mixed feelings. so now i think what
9:13 am
methods for them is to see how can they get in a strong negotiating position and stay really a valid partner fernley go see ations for this, the international backing up, the kurtz would be quite crucial. and this is mainly materializing in the presence of us american troops. john formerly said that he would withdraw all us soldiers. this would be a game changer and we don't know what happens if then in january he takes over whether this is still valid or whether he might change cost. me. where do you see at this point in time kurdish aspirations for self governance and autonomy as well when very relevant point is the control of resources. because in a sub 0, the areas that they controlled or in which they were present, served also for the which provision. for example, it's very fertile areas which was a, that is lacking in many other areas of syria. so they felt that they always had to
9:14 am
give towards damascus and they would be kept in a and b 9 situation. i think now they really want to make sure that they can control their resources, that they are recognized as an entity that has a self governance, which they established over the past years. and i think they might be i, it's something similar to rock where this is already kind of the arrangement the iraqi kurds have, with the rest of the state that was middle east experts, bunch of fellow from the highlands both found ation nearly 3 years into russia's full scale invasion, experts say ukraine has become the most mind country in the world. there are an estimated 2000000 landlines contaminating 40 percent of its territory. unexploded ordnance is another problem even near the capital p. c. w's rebecca rivers, reports. it's painstaking and dangerous. move in 2 years off,
9:15 am
the russian soldiers were forced out of keys. the mine is still working to clear unexploded ordnance from areas on the cities outskirts number 50, their husband ticket. it's not only civilians who are at risk, but also the economy. how to familiar and then many areas of far as the dangerous, because of mine's all the optim up the fighting ballast if these are the boy of with d. so those at the end of this hits the economy hard to fit. because how hector, as of land cannot really fund the ocean, you know, over all the good, the experts from the halo trust, the world's biggest mind clearance organization estimate. there are many millions of explosive items in ukraine's soil, including molding to many and land mines light by russia since the full scale invasion. the scale of this problem is immense. eats not just here in kids, but right across the country. there are hundreds of sites like these,
9:16 am
removing all the landlines and unexploded ordnance will take years if not decades. to bolster capabilities, the high, low trust has been taking on war veterans with extensive battle field experience. veterans like it was fun. yeah. so if there's a south k reminds for the military until he stepped on one himself with a couple of also believe we'd captured and enemy position and were ordered to clear rate of explosives and hazardous items. while we were securing the area, we came under artillery fire and had to seek cover. unfortunately, i stepped on a mine and was injured and you know, you almost have to put on and that's jack of hopes that when he recovered, he could go back to his battalion. but the challenges posed by his prosthesis made the rig is of the military to difficult, and he was the mobilized co, approximately the halo trust gives me a chance to keep on working for my country that's really important and contribute
9:17 am
they do using the knowledge of wolf the vets analyze these high resolution drone images, they identify with a skilled eye and determine where the other side might have placed explosives. we have a lot of expertise in flying drones and analyzing inventory and bringing dates together . but we also have missing some domain knowledge about the, the local context in the battle field. i'm hoping that the veterans will help us understand a little bit better. this. it's a win win. they tell me, given the industrial scale of land mine and explosive ordinance lying and ukraine, the role of the little bits is invaluable. and becomes as the manager of the united nations development programs mind action project in ukraine. now me good to see you . the scale of contamination? we heard of there is star link. what areas are most affected in ukraine? yeah, thank you and good morning. um, what was saying and you'd find is that there is about
9:18 am
a 138000 square kilometers of land that has been exposed to conflict and remains to be certified to identify where the actual contamination lies within that area. most of the contamination that we are finding is good across the conflict affected areas. so this includes cultural lands and forests and other than areas and underwater locations. it's concentrated largely in liberated territories along front lines. but there is also bain, extensive use of scatter hall mines in ukraine delivery to leave it on via auction very well, kids will project household driving. so this means that the contamination is varied and it includes anti personnel mines. i interviewed for mines, cluster munitions, and unexploded ordnance and foot for these types of mines. they can remain armed for hours or days if if they are on detonated by an electrical source
9:19 am
or they can potentially remain there for decades. if they haven't mechanical fuses . yeah. which course is a long time threats. exactly. they're expected to far outlast the conflict. how long you know, in your experience, does it take to make contaminated areas safe again? well, it depends what the contamination is and how the parts is being used. as i said at the beginning, it's really important that the area that has been exposed to a conflict is certified. it is the 1st step doing non technical. so by going out and actually looking at it to identify where we have suspected hazardous areas, open sans hazardous areas, you know, the screw this already ukraine has been able to reduce all of the $35000.00 square meters of land and have pads got taken away from the contaminated area and pulled back to a productive used by the community. this is what the surveys,
9:20 am
how important is because when your decline, the deadline is the real keywords out to the field they need to be going with is the real um, contamination because it is a common race on an excuse to essentially 1st as what will be the long term consequences of the contamination of i'm well that's got a couple of main on, on. sometimes this, i mean, already were saying uh, communities displaced and, and disrupt staley life. the civilians face constant risk of injury or death. and by the end of august 2024, that was 1286 victims of mines and an explosive remnants of war and ukraine. the projections by the government said this number of potentially rising to 9000 by 2030. if this isn't addressed, and also we understand the impact of the global food security. you know, ukraine is uh,
9:21 am
in the top 10 wave produces in the world before the war about 90 percent of ukraine's weight expos spent to countries in africa and asia. so it has to not only include patients here, but also a broad as may only concept from the u. n. d p. 's mine action project. thanks so much for your time. thank you. us and south korea police have once again, rate of the compound of president. you'll so you'll investigator see the real boxes of materials from the complex in the capital. sol was the 2nd attempt, after wednesday's rate of use office was locked by security guards used for as far as defended his shocked decision to declare martial law last week and a tv address to the nation. the president who is under criminal investigation and facing a new impeachment motion is boeing to quote fights to the end is more of what the south korean president had to say. good, good about, good old. how are we on a constitutional decision and active for governance,
9:22 am
vice president of the country and saw it as the only option of truth there on the act of rebellion? a president of the declaration of emergency marsh alone is an active governance time just like the executive climbing the ego and diplomatic. right. so i'm not subject to legal judgment, easy on the punchy hanging, the president, they're speaking to the south korean people, well journalist fabia and catch my isn't soul for us. and i ask them about humans to find a dress. yeah, it basically went back into full, a techno to sound is very determined. he sounded even very confident and he said he was tied to the end. i think that was the most important message because that indicates that he has no intention whatsoever to resign lee, but that he really wants to stay impala and he is a very polite and the defendant's, his decision to impose my muscle. he said that the opposition,
9:23 am
they are anti state forces that they would paralyze activities of the states and then he had to protect the constitutional order of freedom. so he basically repeated the stance that he's a or the he was when he and post them off the last. so i would say he really went on in and um yeah, basically a tech to adult position. he also said that he was not real picking the national elections commission, and there was no apology or anything like that. prosecutors have, again trying to rate the president's office as part of their investigation. what's going on there? of the yeah, actually there was some confused confusion, so i'm the presidential compound boss rated today again. but i cannot use office hits itself, but only the office of the joint chief of stop at the so the military office, which is also located within the presidential compound and. and they actually
9:24 am
agreed to cooperate with the rate and with a police. however, yesterday, when the police went to the presidential office itself and tried to enter the building and try to get the documents, there was a very limited corporation. they could not get into the office, but they were only handed a limited amount of documents. so that was really very disappointing and also outraged a lot of um, a south koreans because they are wondering why the police cannot. uh yeah, the um and plus their rate that was beside that before legislators are going to attempt to impeach the president. again, we're could this crisis, he had it yes, there was a public pressure against you this growing by the day. i mean just and now i'm, when i'm talking they are just a couple of 100 meters away from me. um, several demonstrations by labor unions, by the opposition parties. they all of the month uh, president a june to be in peach and actually the next attempt to both
9:25 am
a both and impeachment motion. i think it has higher chances of being successful because you need 200 volts. they are in total of $300.00 seats in the parliament. so you need to sort of them to vote for it's $192.00 seats are in the power up all the opposition parties. and then you have already several ruling pocky lawmakers who was who promised that they would also vote and tape off the book. and even the pockets chief of the hooting khaki itself said the heat this time supports the impeachment motion and that he wants a president dean. so if you want is to get out of the toilet as soon as possible, journalists fabi and catch by. and so thanks so much and it's official soccer is worlds governing body fi. fi has confirmed that saudi arabia will host the 2034 world cop fif us as hosting the men's soccer tournament will encourage positive social change in the kingdom,
