a lot smoother will be found and kind of who we have at. they were a simple and tool, the supporters of the key regime, rooster, folks of all stripes. we respond as a whole country on the end of old people, musical grey, you won't scare us. we are defending the troops island problem. so you're, a ukraine has claimed responsibility for career loves killing. what do you think about that announcement from russia's foreign ministry that we just had the well, i expect hoss rate x and not on the diplomatic rate of the such an act uh, could heal of both of the highest rank and the russian officer to be killed him, this was so far uh he belonged to a very close circle. at the top of the document is through the defense um, interrupted for ted tactic. one might expect something similar with the crate in military may be. but it has to be sad to that to us, is it. russians have not killed any senior ukrainian officer or the ukrainian so.

so it was so far, uh, was it options have definitely done so far, however, uh, heavy or intensified missile strikes and drones attacks in response to surface strikes by the gradients, alterations by ukrainian secret services. for example, uh on the uh, crime you and come and spend insight into the cost. okay. um carol of was a well known person. this was quite single day. shes acs, wasn't that how much damage do you think this is done to president vladimir purse into his government? well, as a matter of a very high ranking generally is of course a slap in the face. so to say for the entire military and political leadership in every country and every case, it's a very clear signal in this case from the ukrainians you russians might have more soldiers and weapons and may have been even the ones the advance at the moment with the front lines bought. what else do i get to your most important people?

no matter where they are, even in your own country. so, yes, it is a blow to poor tune and she's minutes early. that's it. um. as far as his image, we see that russia, we've seen country uh roughly, is not really a democratic country in which such x would have any consequences for politicians. so, on the contrary, russian propaganda has one more reason to justify this one as of war against russia . and not the other way around the w as rank if you're a chief here 8, russia. so you're a thank you so much. a 1000 mile assess stem and diplomats visiting syria have held talks with the head of the rebel group, the pro, down the government of a shaw side. a delegation from the german foreign ministry opened communications with us not oh sure. all. who leads the islam is group hyatt terrier alshaun or h t. s. gemini and other western states continue to designate a t s a terrorist organization. but many say they all re evaluating that

designation of the adobe use political correspondent, julia sally told us more about what the german government is trying to achieve. so this was the 1st time that german diplomats were back in the mask of since 2012 since the civil war in the country kicked off and they were, they're speaking to as you said, representatives of, of the transitional government to discuss how this transition can unfold a peacefully for syria, they said that the focus of the talks was on ensuring that the rights of minorities and the women especially are guaranteed in this transition in syria. they said the meeting also included talks with representatives of civil society and religious minorities. and they said they also inspected the building of the german embassy, which has been sitting empty in damascus since 2012. but we've also also heard from

the german 4 ministry that it says it is aware of the origins ups that it's origins are grounded in. okay to, i'll kind of ideology and they say they're keeping a close eye on. wow, the group is going to act and, and, and, and move forward in this transition. as was the w, as judy as sally speaking to us a little earlier. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world in a fi i has broken out that liberia is parliament building in monrovia with our seasoned the west african countries say the close of the place is not yet known. it comes at a time of political turmoil and protests in liberia following the government's decision to remove the speaker of the house. more than 20 mine has been rescued from a mine and i've got a stone which collapsed on such as a tracking to work. his underground coal mine collapsed and the same area killed at least 15 was because back in 2014 global global demand for coal is expected to

reach an old time high. this year. an international energy agency report says uses the fossil fuel has rebounded strongly of diploma. sing it during the co, that pun demik. the binding of coal for energy production is a key drive of climate change. are now back to syria and the dramatic full of the outside regime that is still sending shockwave throughout the region. multiple countries have boxed different factions inside the country. so here's a look at the international windows and the loses. as the dust settles rebels from the higher rear i've shown, or h t s group taking over serious capital, damascus spring celebration in some parts of the world and silence and others. one big winters so far as turkey. and it's president richard type erewhon long. i major supporter of h t s and other so the muslim opposition groups. turkey is also eager to reset all

of more than 3000000 syrian refugees that it has taken in. and since the civil war began, turkish companies might gain lucrative contracts and rebuilding the country. 5 turkey also has many military positions inside syrian territory and it may move to overthrow a long time. nemesis, the curtis autonomy as administration in northeastern syria, which is repeatedly coming to attack from turkish forces. iran is a big loser in the fall of the assad regime. syrian storms, the iranian embassy and damascus, soon after the regime fell, a sign of long term grievances at the country that helped to prop up the assad regime. she around loose is one of its most important military allies in the region, billions of dollars and trade, and the land bridge linking it has the law, which was already weakened after months of war with israel. i just thought the

whole more that the judge died of his duty while we gotta judge. he's real, sees a strategic gain. prime minister benjamin netanyahu had described syria as part of the iranian access of evil, but remains cautious about what the future might bring. israel stepped up, it's military operations bombing syrian military assets. it's for administer has said that a unified syria is unlikely to hold together. russia has effectively lost an important ally, which could pave the way for the loss of strategic military bases. russia has a vital naval base and tattoos, one of its most important military assets outside its borders. this base provides logistical support for russian warships in the mediterranean. it was the big prize put and received in exchange for military intervention in support of the assad regime in 2015 and for continuing to protect the regime. in the years after i was, i was looking at the saw sony muslim countries, especially saudi arabia,

the u. a e and guitar have much to celebrate in the fall of an or rainy and ally. but they're also suspicious of h t s. and it's close ties to turkey as well as the history of its liter. asking about al serra, who was previously associated with al qaeda. most of the statements from air of capitals that welcome decides to parcher emphasize the importance of preserving the unity of syrian territory. the risk of serious splitting up is indeed a major on no one that could dramatically reshape the region. again, i spoke to non of how wash earlier. he's a senior on the list, the syria, the international crisis group. and i asked him how he sees the power vacuum and syria being filled in the coming months. and he is, i mean there's a power vacuum left by the regime, the regime kind of the last on itself and it, it, it less space for different doctors to, to, uh, um, to water. one of the most dangerous actors is isis. so i says is taking advantage

of this power vacuum, but it is, uh, is it taking space, they get equipment that was left by the regime. uh, so in the body and that does uh, in the middle of, uh, syria and then almost all the way to the uh, to the the rocky board is, isaac has been a pro active the building itself. so there is a danger of some kind of artist where you margins and the power vacuum with the international committee. of course, the main box is what are you running and why shots? and these are going to be replaced. who's going to replace? the definitely talk is, is, is our main doctor who else it's, it's unclear right now. that was not how i from the international crisis group speaking to me earlier. now for all this is asking, and terry administer says it is currently impossible to assess the full death toll in the french overseas territory of mild so far. at least 22 people are confirmed,

dead off of the islands will hit by sprinkler and she to the local officials fear that hundreds, possibly even thousands of people have been killed. days of to the was not true disaster in mild recent history. the archipelago is still coveted, the ruins of homes and businesses. the french government says daily flights of bringing military pass know, along with food, water, and medicine. but some of the cool say that on seeing any results that these are the thick uh how different parts is it since saturday morning when the cycling passed and just 3 and a half hours, nothing has really happened. uh no sir. upon from us the, the people trying to call you not look good unusual. i haven't seen any municipal services. and if i had service ticket while the wide spread damaged infrastructure is easy to see. the human cost of the site closes, being honda to measure with so much trouble left to search through health officials

via the final death total will be far higher than preliminary numbers suggest that is that's what we expect. a high, a number of best and a notes to the flu we have and the emergency department does not correspond to the seriousness of the situation. it leads us to believe that people have died. you know, some lunches from says president to manual, not crohn is due to visit this week. a symbolic visit, the many miles on the mainland fronts say, should have come soon. as a quick reminder, for you of a top story of this, our russian investigations of detain, the suspects of the matter of the top general eagle carillo's and 8. and it was back, national, has been arrested most cases, the man confessed to working full ukrainian intelligent services. he has already taken responsibility for the attack in the russian capital on should stay and that's all for now, but stay tuned up next i'll documentary series takes
