a disputed strip of land along the border with syria, israel began building settlements that in the 19 seventies and effectively it's the territory a decade later is where the troops have moved into a buffer zone in the area since the fall of the asset regime in syria a week ago. israel has also stepped up the types on syrian military installation saying the new rebel leaders in damascus still whose effect the ship sits. there is lots a key of poor lice lumped in the water destroyed by israel's latest strength. since the collapse of busha, assad's regime is rails, military is estimated to have struck 3, a move in 450 times. as you know about the cause, these really are straight. we saw the boat and as he can see, they were very damaged. they were on fire and sinking in the water on the vehicle.
4:02 am
the literally on the, on the civilian board building also caught fire due to the air strikes. it saves it aims to keep military equipment out of the hands of extremis and is targeting width and staples and air defenses. but the cross border attacks have prompted international condemnation, including from the u. n. 3, the secretary journalist, particularly concerned over the hundreds of is really air strikes on several locations in syria, stressing the need the urgent need to de escalate violence on all fronts throughout the country. israel has occupied most of syria's golan heights region since 1967, but now it's expanding its reach, sending troops further into a un patrol buffer area they've taken over and abandoned syrian millet treat post. israel claims the move is to protect its security.
4:03 am
i definitely the nationally medina thought. yeah, there was a country here that wasn't enemies state. yes. you're with the army collapse and there was a front the terrace elements could reach here. they should go meant that we move forward so that these extremist harris will not establish themselves. so right next to the border. so we'll do a good a. we are not intervening and what is happening in syria. we have no intention of managing syria. yeah. the rebel group, hyatt, tucker, you alshaun or h to use which toppled assets regime see don't send today. that is, rails advance quote, threatens new an unjustified escalation in the region boss added to that the general exhaustion and syria after years of war and conflicts does not allow us to enter new conflicts. despite the motor at messaging, israel maintain serious new regime could threaten its security. on sunday,
4:04 am
it announced plans to double the population in the occupied the golan heights. and what it sees is it bids to strengthen the state of israel. stephen simon is with the quincy institute for responsible states croft. he previously serves on the us national security and kind of so joining the clinton and the bomb administrations. and i asked him, how far is riley is using the change of leadership in syria to further his own ends as well. of course, it's exploring the situation in syria to its advantage of. for me, it is rarely perspective, it would be irresponsible to do otherwise. is real, has long favored a week and divided syria as the best kind of syria to be its neighbor. uh, and that policy is, uh, is simply being extended uh now that, uh, a site is gone and there's this new regime. and the information is rarely
4:05 am
perspectives, they want to be living next to in effect, a demilitarized neighbor which is why they've gone to such great lengths to destroy the endowment of weapons, especially heavy weapons and chemical weapons production facilities that um, the new regime inherited from the departing asset regime. yeah. in that context, as rose, as it sees an increasing threat from syria, all the new rules in damascus, a greater danger to israel than a sod was. or i don't really think so. certainly not now where the, you know, situation where they lack the weapons that were once in syria. i think uh, you know, i shut uh, you know, the guy who is, who is now running uh, syria on behalf of h t. s, a i a to her action is,
4:06 am
is quite right when he says that the syrian people can sustain another war. i mean, they've had it and they're certainly not going to go to war against israel at this, at this stage. on the other hand is rarely so look at the very weakness of the new regime and they ask themselves, well, suppose there are splinter groups a more radical jo, hottest or as long as to who really want to take on israel and inflict some damage on it. or dr draws really blood and that's they have to, they have to take that view i, i would have thought. so what they're doing right now is establishing a buffer zone, or extending a buffer zone between israel and, and, and syria, in the hope that this will give them some, give history a more strategic depth against these kinds of privatized threats. this is a so you what you're saying there is, this is
4:07 am
a by trying to cut off has the law from getting it supply is through syria as well . i think that's, that's effectively done. i think what they're worried more about our sunni extremists who want to attack israel now that they've managed to seize a syria from from us. i don't think that h t s itself. the group that is ruling syria in the wake of upsets departure wants to do this. i very much, i very much doubt it, but i also a question and the israelis probably question uh, the ability of the new government to control all of the forces that were part of the coalition. they lead to bring down us out. and if they can't control them all, there might be some who want to know that their flesh with victory over the asset regime want to, you know, start attacking israel and
4:08 am
h t s. i understand that this is not a good thing because it will give this real b excuse to advance a territorial gains that is really, is already made at secure is expense since assets departure. we know that the, the going us government has been in direct contact with hasty us and seeing what's, you know, about whether it is well, is also establishing some kind of lines of them in damascus. i would be very surprised if these were at least we're not talking to the new regime at damascus. i think they each have a lot have a lot to discuss because they have to work out some ground rules and uh to avoid any kind of escalation or a tex across the line against. um, uh, is really settlements in the go on. so yeah, so i, i, i would have thought they're talking, it's okay, right. and coming power is donald trump is coming into the white house. very soon.
4:09 am
he said this area is not america's fight. what's his incoming presidency going to mean for syria? and for this whole situation, i think the main implication for syria will be the question whether the united states removes the $900.00 soldiers and marines. it now has deployed up to syria. if, if the trump would like to remove them and if they are removed, it will leave the kurds. the syrian kurtz very exposed and, and, and that will have a serious effect on the, on the future of, of siri and kurtz. so that's a, that's a key, that's a key factor, but i think that that's actually the main factor. additionally, you know, the united states actually control syrian oil resources and it gives us the resources to the curves. so if, if the u. s. left syria,
4:10 am
then it would mean that the new regime would have access to the revenue from uh, from its own oil. and that would, we're down to the benefit not just of the syrian regime, but also the syrian people who badly need that money statements. i made this assignment of the quincy as 3 types of being on the w touch. it was mind. thank you . so let's look at some more stories making headlines around the world president. the loved them is the landscape says ukraine is ready to provide humanitarian assistance to syria is offering wheat, flour and oil during the nations and 8 organizations are able to buy some products from ukraine and send them on to countries in need. size korea is constitutional quote, to started impeachment proceedings against president union suck you use presidential powers was suspended off the he tried to impose marshall no earlier this month. the quote now has a $180.00 days to decide whether to dismiss you from office or to restore his

powers. germantown loc shelves. this facing confidence votes in a few hours that will likely pave the way for new elections in february shelves cooled the vote. following the collapse of his governing coalition posts per day, his social democrats will lose to the conservatives. the these mission was not well sorry to use in the overseas french territory of mailed fit. hundreds of people have been killed by the most destructive sight lighting in nearly a century. the small island of the east african coast was a ready for all this is poor as to overseas region before it was devastated by sight inside the night. the storm has raised fears about the humanitarian situation . first came the winds and rain from cycle and cheat up and then came the next thread. the wind spread destruction left behind them. i yield one francis poorest
4:12 am
overseas territories of the rescue. teams have already started to clear the debris left behind by the storm and help is on the way from france in the form of emergency workers and humanity hearing aid, a badly needed lifeline for those who have already lost everything. come to get something to eat for the kids and for us adults as well. we've got nothing left to wins taking it all the way we had stocked up. the wind took it to be for you, cause you want to probably would have had no water for 3 days now. so it's starting to be a lot to, we're trying to get the bare minimum to live on to part because we don't know when the water will come back to do. the full scale of the destruction is visible from the air. more than 3 quarters of the islands, 300000 people live below the poverty line. most were living and mixture of homes
4:13 am
and slums and shanty towns which have now all but been wiped out the throughout the measure how the house was built. every thing here has been give a stage. i think you can see it all around me. i'm actually walking through debris is or people one day of to the site core not or really busy rebuilding the homes, but the work is going to be extremely long to model while some start to rebuild, others are left only to say their final farewells as somebody else starts to recover after the war cycle and in almost a century done or this, daniel bryan has spent time on. my austin says the full scale of the devastation is still an okay. well, we do, you know, we say it's way beyond the initial 11 tests that were reported. the huffington post in spain indicated several hundreds fatalities. and as you said, some reports even estimated to be in the thousands. and what we do noticed that the
4:14 am
entire neighborhoods, especially in the islands numerous shots, the towns helping lessons and public infrastructure, including hospitals and the airports are severely damaged with devastation caused by the site. let me certainly exacerbating factors that are related to board infrastructure for governments. i mean, you need to know that a large portion of my us population resides any formal supplements with substandard construction. they're asking people to buy populations from neighboring to morris, desperate to return to what was their ancestor, homes and heritage. and despite my youngest step, just as a french overseas department says, since 2011, there's been chronic under investments, essentially for structures. and these include housing, lots of supplies, and public facilities. and this neglect is less, less the islands built for parents with stand these natural disasters. that's okay
