the money to please mckenna and welcome to the program rebels who ousted the regime of restaurant alongside of forging a new government one they've now will. and the country's history of oppression. they have already met with foreign diplomats deployed a new police force syrians, the hoping of a new security. a process will been no resemblance to the old system, which tortured killed or disappeared. thousands of people he's coughing on fire is probably the one who says all a sudden was buried in the room, syria for nearly 30 years. and the son bush, all a sudden carried on his brutal rule. after he died, the rebels set to the blaze and the extensive compound on delani, the victory over

a cruel and oppressive regime, with the scent could lead to imprisonment. this was one of syria's most viewed places under the sides. say, now your prison close to damascus. it was known as the human smell of the house. now people are coming to the abandoned facility, hoping to find clues to the whereabouts of their missing loved ones. since 2011, an estimated 150000 people have been detained or gone missing and syria many freed prisoners was sent to hospital the bodies discovered and said nadia was sent to monks with relatives and now trying to identify them. i've done it to you. a lot of the bodies were installed. 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 some bodies. they could be from field execution. so that's the problem. i've done me down here while these families search what they did, the city is literally returning to normality. markets in domestic is open again. they're an optimistic mood for vials because of the simple here's um i did not expect this. people are really happy. they're really happy on video. i hope that everyone comes to sylvia. the situation is excellent. the time they 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. so i won't be back to them before

i left. on wednesday, the interim leaders also looked at the curfew in the capital to encourage people to go back to work and to help rebuild syria. now israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu says, is riley forces will remain in a goal in height. stuff is low until border security is guaranteed, is really troops of also being carrying out strikes in syria against military targets, despite condemnation for many countries in the region. and the united nations this is the israeli military in the u. n. monitor demilitarized buffer zone between syria and is radio occupied going on heights. israel has advanced, it would keep a limited number of troops there because the syrian military had abandoned, its pulse is riley prime minister benjamin netanyahu said it was

a temporary defensive position until a suitable arrangement is find. the buffer zone is known as the area of separation . it was set up as part of israel ceasefire agreement with syria in 1974 to keep his riley and syrian forces a part after israel occupation of the golan heights. the move is part of a far reaching is riley response to the full of the assad regime in syria. their military has launched, strikes on syrian army facilities, weapons warehouses, airports to naval basis. but there's been condemnation of these rails actions by many countries, and by the united nations. there is absolutely no basis under international law to preventively or preemptively disarm a country. you don't like, i mean if that were the case, it would be a rest of the 5 global chaos because lots of countries have adverse res. they would

like to see that without, without weapons, back in the golden heights buffer zone. it's unknown. how long is riley troops will remain as developments in syria move at a rapid pace. so as gaga says, press the middle east and politics and international relations at the london school of economics. welcome to the w. is riley troops saying they've entered this buffer zone between israel and syria because of security concerns. could you talk us through what they're worried about, what they're trying to do? uh uh, they grabbed the new tab tories outside of the golan heights. uh, or these route for your own viewers or the occupies the golan to say in golan heights, and according to the united nations and most nations, it's illegal occupation. so what israel has done in the past few days,

given the vacuum and say, uh, basically it has expanded its occupation of the golan heights full really strictly just as and the by his own. and this buffer zone is protected by the united nation at troops. and according as you set, according to the united nations, according to many nations building farms and germany is a legal is valid really basically acting your laterally to grab more land point. wow. going to israel has carried out the largest ad campaign again, sir. yeah. and it's history in the past few days, it has destroyed the entirety of the se in, in the fed structure. so, you know, has no, um, israel has launched $456.00 at the tax in the past few days. why this is very important. point wow, it's very important because it's illegal and the most of the well started it's illegal. secondly, what is right,

it is the one that was complicating the process of transition inside ca. yes, it's really showing the opposition to the inputs and unable to defend the solvent. thirdly, what israel has done, it has really now created a vacuum security vacuum because a c and i'm no longer really has an army particular exporters in the same way. when the americans occupied europe in 2003, it is all new york, the army, and that particular decision came to home. you're off and the americans for many years as you well know. because the army, europe did not have an army, and the day of all the groups took action into their own hands. all in all the question is that the weather is round, has violated the mind. these 74 disagreement or peace agreement, or seized by agreement with ca. yes i, that's a very much whether he's reading the forces, whatever pull out of this stuff as though it is trial, has a tendency historically to grab loud and then say temporarily. and then stays

permanency as we have seen in the west bank. and these joyce of them and loved on syria as well. so professor professor uh, judges of israel of cool. so say it is doing this because of these security concerns. it's protecting itself, you'll saying, but it wants to grab more land. and if we could come on to this issue of how long israel will be in the buffer zone, as you just mentioned, israel is saying that it is temporary, but i just wanted to bring out this quote by the israeli prime minister, where he said the golan heights will be parts of the state of israel for a ton for a ton to see. so from what you're saying and from, according to that quote, do you think that israel intends to be the for the long run really, very legit and the questions and think of way of questions. i, as a historian, i put a great deal of trust in history. its history says as

a guide is around the whenever you talk, you buy something, whether impala study in labs, or sitting in labs or basically you never leaves because it's one's not all the security funds, absolute security. and as a professor of international relations, i can tell you there is no absolute security in the golan. hi, the 5 minutes this ad these 95 minute say will the faucet is route for the town, i think. yeah, it's an occupied so you intact or is he is route along with the trump administration decided that basically is ralph has the right to and that's the golan heights might take on it. i hope i am wrong, is drought keeps grabbing pellets thing and then stay in lands and 11, use them. and without a treaty international impression of bobby, you might stay adopted very much, whether it's route really will ever pull off of this stuff is all, let's come back to celia. literally what israel has been doing and the united

nations and all the nation, including the united states, are impressing on israel not to tax the new transitional, thought the n c. in the eyes of the city in and out. the new a hard to really is inputs in is really powerless to protect the nation. and this complicates an already complicated situation and say yes. so you don't need to have to take my word or the is ready to prime minister, what you need to take the they, they, the reality of the international community responds including gemini, i'm from us. and many of the nations adults with is that it's been doing not only is a legal, it's really poor and gasoline on a raging fine. see a israel is saying, professor, just that it's worried. of course, that's a syria could allow iran to re establish itself in, in, in syria, that it might permits transfers to, to hezbollah or even. but it feels that syria could attack israel with all of these concerns with israel's putting forwards. how do you see relations between israel

and the new syrian government developing of this, the all star is below, positional thought is a that's correct. no. to take any position against his rock. in fact, the opposition, including the sound, is pay us to hear a shot. have never lifted it thing got to stop for the pulse thing using god has never allowed a protest in the a is under control and it live in support of the palestinians. they have gone off of their way to try and that's where they come from. is route as to the new authorities, allowing your own to establish spaces and see the opposition forces viscerally and the wrong. if you tell me what's the over arching a veal positions, 100 percent is empty, you're wrong. and, and because of all of the russian,

israel does not really have any security concern given after the fall of a said because you have in your party. and historically, since 2012, israel has had relations inform a relation with some of the opposition factors. in fact, many of the injured a position come back and we are listed to as well and were treated in his right of the hospital. let's call it by what it is, is rival is valid, is using this moment and vacuum and is route to grab more serial lab and to basically destroy the military infrastructure and see might be a, is ralph is doing what it's doing is go into not only the city and people, but even then your heart against that they're creating new enemies as a result of their really expansion as an aggressive and most of the policies to where they are positioned not professor fall as judges from the london school of economics. thank you. so much for your time today

of the of the throw of the syrian dictated by law side has also raised questions about the status of the large number of syrians who fled to europe during the civil war. some governments are ready hatching plans to, to pull the syrians or suspend their asylum planes. nearly 1000000 the syrian nationals all currently living in germany. of those just over 5000 to todd asylum claims approved. more than 320000 have refugee status around 330000, have been granted what's known as subsidiary protection. that means they could face serious home in the home country, and nearly 60 thousands have been given leave to remain. while the claims for asylum refugee status of processed dw has been speaking to syrians based in berlin, and asking them for the reaction to the events of the last days. joy in

berlin on that day, syrians worldwide will never forget the downfall of their regime and the hope for rise of a new syria. berlin, i t engineer my right e o my e and his compatriots, celebrated all matter. you got through to his mom as well. my name with a girlfriend. i called my mother and she but i couldn't speak. i cried and laughed at the same time in the background in my head. and i couldn't believe that i thought it was gone. and as i think is child feeling fit to share, i lift 40 for us and sir, we had a root by us soft and before him. his father's. and i've always been afraid of this regime for, for the minus thought. how about i use family is from hama on the site just last week of perhaps the turning point in the long civil war. when rebels overran government forces on the way to taking damascus back in

berlin, another syrian student shall brian as um, to is overjoyed. even writing a poem to this moment, he's among the hundreds of thousands of syrians granted protective status here. but unlike omar, i e, a new german citizen, as of may not be allowed to stay like other countries. germany is the spending decisions on asylum claims by syria, nationals, this globe. and i don't think germany will simply send people back to their homeland isn't unhealthy, but we're building ourselves. they do them and i'm still studying here on the dodge and those with the germans have supported here for the for 5, the 67 years, and then to just throw it away and send us home home. i don't believe that gus cloud dismissed as much as they'd like to be back home. the syrians in germany see an evolution there after the revolution. following the full of the aside

regimes housings of syrians who sought refuge in turkey on now chewing out the buddha, to return home to patient. we'll still receive some set up. additional check point 5 kilometers from the border crossings and syria to help manage the heavy traffic. many syrians into key are excited to return home of to you as an exile, but there is concern about the humanitarian situation that awaits them off the use of brutal slicing. and we can cross the event now to the un resident and humanitarian coordinator for syria. adam of de lula who is in damascus. thank you so much for your time. prime minister of the new prime minister elbow, she is urging syrian refugees to come home. can you tell us where the, the supports the rest of the law says that they will need, will be that waiting for them. thank you for having me. let me just give you an overview of the immunization institution in syria and then

also to your question as to whether or not the country. he said he received large numbers of cd and the deputies. we started in 2024 with 16700000 people who live inside syria needing, who maintain and assist us. and we off for 4100000000 years the us to meet the needs out of that, we wanted to take less than 50 percent. and we are in the last month of the year. then in september, due to the fighting in gibbon, we received more than 600000 cdns and liberties sling or, and even on monthly cdns, who is taping into the country. for that week, off of sue and the medical field for the $325000000.00,

which we received on the 23 percent getting the loss in cash. and that is a link to the down for or the side of the game. so the 170000 people have been displaced and these, the people whose needs we haven't even started looking into. so can i assume that you are on say, is there isn't the simple way thing for syrians who might want to come home? absolutely not. leslie, the social services have grumbled, as you know, after 1214 years of, of, of guys it's been an infrastructure from the water supply and the, the, the hygiene, the theme and the health care is to see if you guys are all of the same business

services i'm a bit to accommodate the needs of i've seen and people into the country and well, i'm thank you. and do i mean what, what is the you, i'm sorry to interrupt you, but well, i'm curious to know what the u. n is planning to help syria rebuild its infrastructure and, and have the results is available to, to support the people who will be coming home. we are leaving know it soon on 10. this is a new era, and i have already started talking to all the partners about the need to have an editor. i'm calling from a conference for video reconstruction. we'll see that's of course slicing so well. listen to that with them on this. uh huh. the fact that there was to be want to because it, yeah, that's fighting as well, isn't there in serious so aside from the results is how do you think the syrians could be protected and make these ongoing hostilities? those who come home there is active fighting going on right now. if you look at the

north, the, the organization that calls itself the cd and not going to army is in active a fighting as we speak with the seed in democratic forces. the do, the, the 4th is concentrated in the northeast. so that's the problem that is in uh on going down. this house of a, in, in, in the deed is due area. there is another from between the as the of the city. and then we'll go through the forces and the, it's the s, and that is now in control of the country. and so uh, the state is, i'm not safe for any kind of a repair. and the, the new government is just fit in shape. it has a fully established, if we have them group on, on the country. so it just to every, to the fact that i've seen it as having being to 355. mm hm. and, and what come to you when do i mean to address potential tensions between the

different groups and the country? we have the office of the special invoice. this going to begin with is it's an invoice for cdn. we've built into all the parties trying to do is to them to de escalate the tensions and to quickly and, and swiftly distort little on or that. and, and do you think that's a syrians who return home can be confident, but they won't face persecution under the new leadership with the supervisor, the usually the she as mick old, the, the, the right is statements that people of organizations will be safe. and we have to, we just wanted to, that's what it was then and see if they're going to much they there what some of their options you want to just make the do you and coordinate to add um of del new

law who was joining us from damascus, thank you so much for joining us today. we appreciate it. thank you for telling me . thank you for having to south korea now where the in buffalo president unit foothill remains defiant, even as he faces grand pressure is a his decision to briefly impose marshall last week and his 1st televised appearance. in days. the president defended his actions and found to quote, flights to vi and on for the moon, who's on the criminal investigation insurrection looks set to face a 2nd impeachment vote in parliament on such as a demonstration continues to announce and launch numbers themselves to the non human being removed from all right, let's get the latest from gymnast fabia and etc. my who is and so i saw the and president you in striking a defiant tone. so is the sales career and i'll position so. so bring us up today.

so on what's happened today? so yes, i have a really many and use developments today. i would like to point out the 3 things. the big news was that you and so if you all gave a speech, i mean that was only the 1st but actually the 2nd public appearance after he clipped amato law for a brief time. that was last tuesday when he became muscle. now he gave a tv speech. very spontaneous, i mean, all the journalist here didn't have any notice before. that was really yeah, last minute speech. and in that speech, she was very confident. he didn't apologize, but rather the opposite. the text, the opposition. he said he both tied to the end indicating that he will not resign early, but really continue or tried to continue to be in power. he also said that he didn't do anything wrong with his decision to impose master law, but he had to defend democracy. had to defend freedom se calls it. and then the 2nd

big news was that the ruling party chief, the so the chief of the pocket, they also belongs to set that in a 1st reaction to doing speech that he support impeachment against you and, and that he should get out of power. as soon as possible, so really a, quite a dramatic point there. and then thirdly, the, when you mentioned the opposition today, they formally brought in another 2nd impeachment motion, which on say today all the parliamentary and so all the lawmakers will vote a regarding the tool and you need to search of all the lawmakers who would vote for their food and then that bill would pass. all right and prosecute as of being repeatedly trying to raise unions. office something a can you tell us what's been going on the as yet today, there was another rate at the presidential compound and this time, the office of the joint chief of staff. so the military office was in the

presidential compound, was rated. and actually the generals were collaborate to co operating, sorry with the police, and we're heading over the documents, etc. but the big question is what the police can find with in the presidential office. and already yesterday they tried to get in there and tried to search for documents. they tried to find the, the minutes of the meeting of agents. so your, when you decide to martial law and they want to find out how that happened and who was supporting it, etc. but the presidential office did not corporate. they only handed in a limited amount of documents, but they did not open the door to the presidential office. all right, well, have to leave at the gentlest, probably, and pitch my reporting from sol fabia and thank you. this is a quick reminder for you of our top story of this. our rebels who ousted the regime of bush all outside assessing off a new government one day that will ends the country's history of oppression. some
