the see to europe of 3 goals. jenny reset on dw the this is dina over here in usually from berlin, germany's liter or f shots that loses a confidence about after the collapse of his coalition government sholtes. his failure to get the backing of the german parliament sets the country on course for its not elections in february, also head bosher. alas, that breaks his silence after his full from power in syria. in a written statements, he says he planned to keep on fighting for russia, evacuated him on hundreds, are feared, died in the french island territory of my yacht after the worst cycle in nearly a century. the storm life, dec neighborhoods, codle's power, some survivors haven't had water for days, the

pop up phone in the us. welcome to the program. we started here in germany where it transferred off. shaw says last, a vote of confidence in parliament shows one of the support of only 207 little makers, far short of the majority needed when he'd been expected to lose the vote. after his 3 party coalition collapsed in early november when he fired his finance minister in a dispute over to revitalize germany's stagnant economy, it pays the way for it snap elections in february. this is the moment when the result was an interest to unplug, the splitting, the chancellor's motion did not achieve the required majority of at least 367 votes . in favor of these rather than bonus, i will inform the president of the results of the votes without delay. time is authorized us to the end of our agenda. ok. and to the end of the coalition off the

i'm to do, you don't use chief political, editor metallica from there. it was asked the german parliament and told me more about what happens next. yes. what we have from the present of haldeman. she's going to inform the presidents, germany's federal presence, who has lost the ceremonial role, and he has $21.00 days within which he can decide what to do. he could also try and get the coalition add to all the former co with us in task. talk to each other again, but we understand from the comments he's made before that he will clear the way for elections on the 23rd of february. so it's last week procedural from now on was on that road to those a snap selections. all right, so if it isn't indeed i'd say confirmed that in the election will take place some of the 23rd of february next year. what issues are set to dominate on the campaign trail? while the big one is the economy, and that's because domini,

which is the 3rd or 4th largest economy in the world to 10 depending on who you believe. and we had both mentioned here in parliament today is has a lot of economic indicators, pointing downwards, is also in the midst of a technology transition. it's key caught industry is particularly hit also the in electronic vehicle section of it. and that says fox, huge concerns here. and domains that jeremy's, hey, day of seeing and, and also in industrial country could be over. so that is something that's new name for a loss or sofas. response is a to want to pull money into the economy a to give out wrong for specific industries. at that is something that is counted by the leader of the opposition, the city police mass of either of a conservative cd. you see a few pos and union of we knows i'm apples policy. he wants to create new dynamism by causing taxes that he has is gazing condemnation,

not just of the performance of this code. assume it today, but most of the, of the transfer and have him at the european level and also expect and other issues like migration to play a large role. the biggest stock becomes, of an issue. the more it stays into the hands of the fall, right? if the policy which is neck and neck with the chances own espy, the policy hovering just below 20 percent at the leading conservative current in the falls at around 30 percent. and so these will be key issues that both sides of zooming in on and they for ready each choose each other of not having done the math in the policy programs. and since the not having the financing straight. so just a quick reminder that see exactly sure why this whole coalition essentially implode is certainly days now at schultz will be meeting a minority government for the next 2 months. so where does this leave the german chancellor on the world stage because it's

a pretty hectic at time at the moment. this whole time, it is for me to sol, spots is remains department. they can still take decisions, but both the government on parliament conti key decisions for germany anymore. so that is a huge element of a name doc, key nation here in europe. neighboring of course fonts, which has its very own struggles with political stability and, and the spot life full of potentially be on. it's really interesting the enough when donald trump comes into office on the 20th of january and unveils what his plans are in europe and what he no longer plans to do so. and it was admitted also by the vice swanson, the green trades, minnesota habit kit in parliament. it today that this comes at a very bad point in time for the peace that it simply was no longer avoidable. this imposing essentially of what was a political experiment, a 3 way coalition,

but that doesn't mean that there won't need to be another one to get some majority following this happen next monday. the 3rd mikaela. thanks for that update the domain chief political editor mechanics of not joining us from the german parliament and the one the 2nd to. let's take a look now at some of the other headlines making news around the world. versus defense ministry has released footage allegedly showing the recapture of a settlement in the countries course region. this is where you cranes, military launched a cross border incursion in august. you cranes as at least 30 north korean soldiers have been killed in recent weeks. and course, while fighting alongside russian troops, medical workers and gaza say at least 16 people, including women and children, have been killed and then is ready to strike on a shelter for displaced people in use. a right to comp, guys, a civil defense agency said is really strikes on. somebody killed dozens of people across the stripping tooting. and i was just a return list of 3 rescue workers. or more than the week after he was overthrown.

serious, i've said president bush or a side has broken his silence about his full from power in a written statement posted on social media aside. says he never planned to have funds in his country is rebels. rebel forces closed in on damascus times. he initially moved to a russian base in western syria to continue fighting because russia evacuated him after the bass came under attack. he also denied so serious new leaders as terrace here with the demise of the outside regime in syria. cops a very bad year for its back or ran, syria has been a key part of t ron's regional strategy and so called access of resistance. but with assets and i've gone and other proxies across the middle east, severely weakened to bias ro these. i'm a real big influence and stability is now under threat is down with israel down with america. 7 for decades, these have been the tween goals of

a ranch foreign policy. this year, neither went very well. the ron has long supported states and militias in the middle east, partly to influence politics by promoting she a muslim forces and is luminous paramilitaries, and also to threaten israel. this policy reached its peak with the deadly him off terror attack on israel. on the 7th of october 2023. iran has denied involvement, but things have gone downhill for tear on ever since this year. israel took the upper hand in april and is rarely airstrikes killed iranian generals and military advisors in syria. iran responded with $300.00 missiles and drones aimed at jerusalem and tell a v, all of which were shot down. a military failure. the tit for tat attacks continue and october, another volley of a 180 missiles and drones failed to reach their targets. and israel conducted

airstrikes under ron, that he dismissal facilities and air defense capabilities come off and gaza was one key part of the ron's power. projection, but the group sought to, of its key leaders killed this year. in addition to losing thousands of fighters on that political leader is my, i'll have me a, was killed by a bomb explosion into ron, and embarrassment as well as a black guy. operational leader. yeah, yes, in was killed in gaza and is really airstrikes and ground operations killed much of how mazda is fighting forces. the she militia has blah and southern lebanon was another key iranian proxy. but a wave of his rarely attack, starting with the detonation of explosive pager devices and culminating an airstrikes that took out in senior leadership. and much of its arsenal of rockets. the less the group much weaker the dominoes kept falling

when syria and rebels ousted around allied by charlotte sod from power. the rom lost its ability to resupply hezbollah overland. it also lost much of its ability to threaten and influence politics and lebanon. and the rebel groups are likely to establish a sunni muslim government allied with around arch, rival, saudi arabia. and then there's the domestic front where president abraham, right, easy, died in a helicopter crash in may, but he did a that created political instability that dr. ron through the year the near future is clouded even more by donald trump's winning the us presidency. he's been consistently and extremely hawkish about around more bad news after an already very bad year for the country. for more or less bringing alief, i told a new shots, director of the center for middle east. i'm the global order. he joins us from

berlin. great. have you on the show. so i'd like to 1st ask for your take that we heard from a side for the 1st time since, as i've stir in a written statement posted on telegram, he's at detailed the circumstances leading to his departure from syria and says he's in russia. so what do you think of this means for around as well. obviously the events that have unfolded since october 7th, 2023, but especially so since last summer have been nothing less then of historic proportions. um your ons regional strategy is in ruins. its sole excess of resistance is as well in ruins. it has lost its crown jewel. within this axis in in september, has the 11 on has been decimated and to compensate it. and it is, it has now called me and i said in the southern full of the assets regime within only 11 days. so we are now entering

a new era in regional geo politics. start tech topic. tectonic shifts the to the detriment of the song republic. well, how much pressure pressure is that putting down on the raining government? a lot of pressure because this is absolutely new. i mean, imagine that, you know, we didn't see such a situation since the inception of this nomic republic uh, almost 46 years ago. so this is a whole new city situation, and there is a great those of strategic perplexity among the around the leadership. iran has lost the 2 wings of its original power projection capabilities. first, testable and now the asset regime. and so this is whole new territory. there is great confusion, but how might iran react, given this set we can to position in the range of or i don't think the wrong

leadership knows what to do. now. one of the things that they might opt for is to re engage in so called nuclear diplomacy with the west are using uh, it's not a program as a leverage in order to get uh, you know, western states back to the negotiating table. so that the west can give the around the leadership some concessions in terms of sanctions relief. so this would be the only way out uh for the iranians. uh, but the west of the noise of that, you know, changing geo politics of the region. and also if you're wrong, so story weakness. let's talk about ryan domestically now. so around the president's interest, vetoed a strict headdress low at that was passed by hard liners in parliament. so the veto is being seen as a bit of a power struggle, right. between hard liners and motor, a forces, amid at fears of renewed popular resistance. so how do you see the power dynamics

right now within around as a 1st of all, we have to be very careful not to fall into the trap of, uh, analyzing um, you know, politics in this number of public through a factional lens. there is much more, you know, common ground between the different factions. then a widely assumed an allstate runs uh new positive because this gun has no reform minutes or no margaret. um, so um and of course i mean your rights to suggest that the, her job issue is one of the tremendous importance also for originally and security reasons for the solver public. but there was great side to opposition and these are the, the job o hands. uh, the highest authorities decision not to implement district uh, job title at present circumstances. when the country is maya, it's not only in a geopolitical set back of historic proportions. there's also a targeting,

it's very political ideology as well. but it is also might have been a very deep economic crisis. so all of that is a very crucial moment for the around the leadership will have to leave it there. i mean, at least the toner and chat found the director of the center from east on to global order. thanks for joining us on the do any news today? thank you for having me. well, ryan is on the back foot after events in syria. israel has been using the moment to carry out hundreds of strikes on target inside the country. footage, verified by the reuters news agency shows an explosion early on monday in the coastal region of tartarus. the syrian observatory for human rights as the, as writing ministry attacked air defenses. and to me saw storage sites there. the region is also home to russia's only naval base in the mediterranean to speak now to marina moran from the worst of his department of kings college london arena, joins us from munich. great to see marina. so the syrian observe

a treat for human rights as these are, is rouse, quote, heavy strikes in serious coastal region since the start strikes in 2012. so could you walk us through the infrastructure that israel has been targeting? good evening, you're good. so strikes, id are reported some 480 or even more strikes on the syrian territory, mostly targeting reportedly, air defenses, missile long range missile stockpiles and stuff piles of munition and allegedly chemical watkins. so basically, the idea here is, according to ease, rarely reasoning is to prevent and you put the initial malicious after which would be a potential enemy for each row from getting hold of these weapons. all right, but are those spears then actually well, find it?

well, we don't know what is going to happen in syria right now. we, we don't know how the new government will before and how it will evolve and what political stands it will take the page, the leader all gilani said that he is not looking for a war with israel. but we don't know is a long term prospect's and what is going to happen in syria series now highly fragmented, and the group seeking power also fragmented within. so it's very difficult to predict how this will turn out. and if we were minor ourselves about the rise of the slamming state, any rock again, they could benefit from the weapons left behind by the us forces. and so the reasoning here is to prevent possible scenario mirroring what has already happened, the rock more broadly. how do you see the shift in power in syria incidence and conflict in the region? it is a very difficult one because we have israel on the one hand. and then we also have

turkey and other guns ambitions in syria and the ends of broder middle east, on the other hand. and so there is a potential for clash between these 2. not necessarily an arm clash, but both will be seeking to put project power into the region. and of course, we have to remember as well that israel is still in the confrontation, whereas iran, iran is weekend right now, but iran might regroup and recover in order to continue this confrontation. so this is we're shaping the power structure in the middle east, and a lot is to, besides what the united states will do. when donald trump assumes office how far in how far he will be supporting is riley action of moving forward. then occupying more territory of the golan heights. and of course turkey is anita

member, a, what will the alternator members do to influence turkish policy in syria? and of course we, we, we have to remember that there are different religious and ethnic groups in syria and different players are supporting them. such as for instance, the syrian currents whom the turkey proceeds out as anatomy as a terrorist organization. and they are being supported by natal more broadly. so it will be interesting to see how these power they not mix shape up, but these will be most likely the main players. and of course the arab states in the region. so who do not like what israel is doing right now, it will, it remains to be seen in how far we add, for instance, we'll try to influence what is happening in the region. hi serena for that analysis . marina moran from the worst studies department of kings college in lumber. thank

you for having me to southern 11 on 9 where people have started returning home. following the seas far reached between israel and driving on at the end of november, thousands were displaced by israel to attacks during its war with as paula. and for those who have now come back, a long road lies ahead to rebuild their lives. this next report comes from our correspondence in the southern avenue city of tire. this used to be no. do you know i mean the living room where she and her family would eat and watch tv. but 2 months before have done this to her house in the coastal town of times. israel must, with the attack, the city in south lebanon. nadine says that there was no reason such as has fallen members for her house to be destroyed. that much. but i didn't expect our house to look like the nbc, and there was nothing here and i'm calling about our house was destroyed because

they bought the house right next to us and the had she and her family back now after spending the war and ties old towns the only area that wasn't heavily targeted. they were hoping to simply move back of the ceasefire was announced 2 weeks ago. but that's clearly not possible here thought it was hard. i mean that we couldn't retrieve anything. even our clothes were trapped under the rubble as i sent in there with my toys, with my pillow, look for some jobs. it's just not their school. and my school to to of the as the ceasefire takes effect. thousands of people like nothing a going back home and

a shock by what they find a few weeks ago, these really ami hit the highest main water pumping station that left the entire provence without wondering what was the municipality officials say it could take up to several months to fix meanwhile, some people on tyra getting on with it. they invited people from across lebanon to help them clean up those who came included locals, scouts, and into a lot of my coming back here again makes me feel grateful. one of despite all of this destruction inside the, i'm happy to come back to tire and to clean up my city of suicide. and how long would it be to do on, on of the best? i would love to help to restore tire, to how we know it's to bring life extra tyra and to us as well. and the dean, which system have destroyed balcony repairing her home when the money the family

doesn't have. she hopes that someone would offer her compensation sort of in like everything will be alright about your dad will rebuild the house and will get back all your stuff or the materials will be fixed. but this also emotional loss and trauma to deal with a huge emergency operation is underway in the french island territory of my yacht after being bothered by its worst psych loan in almost a century. with ours is there fear hundreds, possibly thousands of people have died with the french red cross describing the devastation as unimaginable psych loan tito pact wins of more than 225 kilometers per hour when it's slammed into the french territory of my out. francis poorest regions with nearly a 3rd of its population, living in shanty towns with sheet metal, roofs,

was torn apart. the sims is, it was the wind, the wind blowing and the deal. and i was panicked. i screamed, we need help a little bit. and then i was screaming because i could see the incoming for me to play through the press q cruise 6 survivors and count the dead electricity. and communication lines have been knocked out across large parts of the region. and clean drinking water is in short supply. you know, there's nothing much people can do. people are keeping still. they haven't moved. they are waiting for help and help for food, for the electricity to be back up in water. also, there's no running water lose your health is on the way from france and other french overseas territories. but it's going to take time to and this was a hurricane of unprecedented violence and probably the hurricane of the century.

this level of violence hasn't been seen since 1934. prince's interior minister has arrived in my aunt's capital to coordinate rescue efforts because they were still mountains to move. so every one needs to come together. everyone needs to go to work. don't panic, don't rush, keep your cool. use what you've learned. you are professionals. while they wait for promised aid survivors pick through what's left of their lives, they lose service our mazda hughes, the dining room, a law. and here was the kitchen rack is beautiful, where you can see the sinks vicki philip. so soon as that's the freight shot, the a gas stove, and on the other side, again, it moved to a good deal and that was my bedroom, shown in desperate need. thousands of my residence,

wait for help to arrive. the french authorities say $800.00 more risky personnel are expected in the coming days. and here's a quick reminder of our top story. the german chancellor of shaw says last a vote of confidence in parliament the result of the country on course for snap elections and february the vote follows the collapse of his coalition government sholtes as though asked the german president on file to assign maya to the south part series, the post president bashar assad has broken his silence after fling to russia. in a written statement, he says he planned to keep on fighting with the russians, evacuated and that's all for now. next close of fix force i, russia's invasion of ukraine has impacted. lafayette were around a quarter of the population as a russian for us after a short break. and don't forget this 20 more news and information on our website
