on the back of the story, before the break off is good to have you with this, we begin with is really forces in places they have not been in half a century. this week is really troops pushed deeper into the go on heights areas. the last entered 50 years ago to day israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu pointed to the reason toppling of the assad regime in syria and said that israel's military will remain in a go one heights buffer zone until border security with syria can be guarantee. this is the israeli military, in the u. n. monitor demilitarized buffer zone between syria and israel. the occupied going on heights, israel, as advanced. it would keep a limited number of troops there, because the syrian military had abandoned, its posts, is riley prime minister benjamin netanyahu said it was

a temporary defensive position until a suitable arrangement is found. 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 and unable bases. but there's being condemnation of these rails actions by many countries, and by the united nations. there is absolutely no basis on the international law to preventively or preemptively disarm a country. you don't like, i mean if that were the case, it would be

a recipe for global chaos because lots of countries have adverse raise. they would like to see 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, dw correspondent, and still a mentor has more now on those is really movements. earlier on i was in the city center of damascus and recruit loudly. hear the explosion off the air. sorry. that wasn't the suburbs of the masters until now we don't have any further information about the target. anyone was injured? i spoke to people hear what they think about the situation and how they feel about it. at the many people here and the most given the answer was that people feel like they are used to is for it. oh story, king, syria,

and also damascus. and the, this has happened already before the full of assassin. they also told me that they're a little bit more worried about what's happening at the moment at the going on heights. and that they're worried that israel is now going to use the moments at to occupy more lands. actually, to move further into the country. that was still a matter of their reporting from damascus. dw corresponded emily gordon is in jerusalem. she told us more about israel's actions in syria and the buffer zone indigo one heights as well. the is riverside hasn't really commented on these recent strikes that have appeared to have been carried out around damascus again. but essentially this very much falls in line with what figures are constructed to has been since they are solved vermin fell. israel essentially is pursuing 2 goals here. one is to protect its citizens and his territory from possible spillover effects, possible attacks that could arise from the terminal that's currently still sweeping

syria and be number 2. and it's goal is also to make sure about as we just tell them the report to make sure that's the of tubs. wesson's also lots allegedly, that reports at least silverman and syria information. we con, confirm from here. but ultimately you've got a, these lessons don't fall into the, into the wrong hands. i'm sorry, i wanted to continue that. and of course, of course, you know, like we just have that reports to, for through the stuff that they ever see. we've seen, we've seen israel carry out aerial strikes, strikes on, so as maple bases, but also this pushed into the buses and that's not really been into the bosses. and, but also beyond that and nothing else. who's a condition essentially is mission is to have a situation that's on the other side, but will guarantee the safety of israel. but nobody knows how long that will take. so ultimately, a, this, this is this as low as,

as much as these really side the saying that this is temporary, and it is also in a way, indefinite. and of course, this is not spin without criticism. we also in the reports heard from the un envoy to syria get pedals sun. but we've also been hearing criticism from turkey. um, where the form minister came out saying that the courts as role is again displaying is occupied mentality. so harsh criticism, but so far it seems that spin, floating on death is that was database. emily gordon, reporting from jerusalem looks like looking out some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. us secretary of state entity blankets arrived in jordan for talks on serious future. lincoln is due to meet jordan's king of duleigh in the red sea resort town of africa before traveling onto turkey later on thursday . we can just call them theory as new leaders to protect minorities and to renounce terrorism. hello, sidney and health officials say more than 2 dozen people have been killed in the

but also the economy. well, how to familiar in many areas of far as the dangerous, because of mine's all the optim off the fighting ballast, if these are the boy. so those that, sir, no, this hits the economy hard to fit because ho heck, because of land cannot believe fund the ocean, you know, over open expense from the halo. trust, the world's biggest mind clearance organization estimate. there are many millions of explosive items in ukraine. soil including molding 2000000 land mines light by russia since the full scale invasion on the scale of this problem is immense. it's not just here in kids, but right across the country. there are hundreds of sites like these. removing all the land mines and unexploded ordnance will take years even don't decades to bolster capabilities, the high low trust has been taking on war veterans with extensive battlefield

experience. veterans language, let me call you. so if there's a south k reminds for the military until he stepped on one himself with a couple of bottles of we've, we've captured an 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 see cover really. 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 rigs of the military too difficult, and he was demobilized, co, approximately the halo trust gives me the chance to keep on working for my country that's really important. and contribute they do using the knowledge of wolf and 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 imagery and, and bringing dates together. but we also have missing some domain knowledge about the, the local context and the battle field. and we're hoping to, the veterans will help us understand a little bit better. it's a win win. they tell me, given the industrial scale of land mine and explosive ordinance laying in ukraine, the role of the role that is invaluable. this is rebecca rivers importing. time magazine has named us president elect donald trump. it's person of the year. the recognition comes on the same day. trump rang the opening bell at the new york stock exchange funds editor in chief ed trump. was the person who quoted for better or for worse, and the most influence on the news this year. sam jacobs edited from for made a historic come back, reshape the presidency and is reordering american politics. he was also times person of the year in case you forgot back in 2016.

of to 2016. if you just set in the basement, tell us a little bit more about the interview that trump gave to time magazine. it was a wide ranging interview reading time, 59 minutes. so an hour that touched on several topics from this election victory, the economy, the wars and ukraine also in the middle east and his plans for the 2nd administration . so if we look at the 1st one of these and topics that i just named, one of them is a ukraine where you criticize the use of us supplied missiles for attacks deep into russian territory. and he also rates are rated and will look at the us that he's going to pause and most of those convicted in volumes that the us capital in january 6, 2021. and is that the thing that also sit out for me during this interview is that he said that you would consider altering childhood vaccination programs in the us. is that he was have discussions with robert f. kennedy junior,

this vaccine skeptic that he nominated to run the us department of health and human services. he did not explicitly say the vaccines cause autism a false claim that has been defined several times, but when he was pressed, he said that very serious testing indeed is in needing and time magazine wrote that . and he said that merely suggesting it is also it creating a, this alignment of funding and alignment with them. it's information that has been fields button to vaccine movement for use. and i remember it back in 2016 when the time to put them on the cover. it was, it was a big deal to generate. a lot of headlines is doing that this year as well. what's been the reaction there in the united states. so the reaction has been different to 2016 is that there was some room is already saying that he would be a, the person of the year. but also what's quite similar when we looked at those interviews that they made. but now the time magazine also provided

a fact pseg in context of several of trump statements that it ranging from numbers on migration falls claim on gender as a nation. surgeries, crowd size is just to name a few of them. and trump himself called this a tremendous on his saying that he liked it this time, even better. referring interest said to the $2161.00, some time magazine named tim tests and of the year for the 1st time after winning the presidency. it's been over as we with the least in washington benjamin thank. finally, a teenage prodigy from india has become the youngest ever chess world champion. you see right there? 18 year old gosh, don't arise. you won the final game and a 14 match series, a single board, thanks to a blunder by his chinese opponent. the youngster takes over the title of the youngest champion from russia's gary cast, but off he was 22 when he was nearly 4 decades ago. okay,
