tillman, to review one you have, you have a one, does not delete this on port on this, please go to the spot on the, on expected side to side. the is it, the w here is life from 5 and the 1st us diplomats to visit syria expense. the full of the outside regime of talks with raffles visit comes as form a members of assets, military hand over the weapons, hoping to become part of the new order. we'll hear from a former general who loves to work with the rentals also on the program. on the future, do they have children in java who should be in school will spend the days queuing and fighting for food and water in the us had stored say, government shut down after congress votes down a 2nd. spending plot, the

feel good. welcome to the program. bringing those stories in just a moment, the the fastest and breaking news from ukraine by the capital k. if it's under a large missile attack of hearts is in the se, se age, ballistic missiles were fired ahead of the attack. ukraine's air force issued a message on telegram warning of a ballistic missile are coming from the north, bringing more on this developing stories throughout the day. not to syria, and the 1st us diplomats to visit the country since the fall of the b. i started regime of arrived in damascus. the holding talks with the rebels do not form the government and to the us and other states still classified as a terrorist organization. it's a sign of transition that's also reflected within uh within syria. what are some members of a former president of sides military being integrated into the new order they've

been told to hand over their weapons of face prosecution and many site that happy to do so. one form, a general from the western city of homes has been speaking to correspondence, but how many trays as are you still in your scene? was a general in bo, charlotte, that's for me. he's here looking for redemption. many of the officers from the now defunct machine is seeking. can you beginning in a new see, are you are you still served in the military for 38 years? he says he was in the air force defense division and did not take part and see you just loved the simple this with this with, i'm not scared looking. why would i be i seen below move things are going well and then no one heard us and then i'm going out all the time and no one stopped me or

questions a i the my husband. but i'm here for a settlement so that no one out of control could hurt me. it's not new. i have the no, once i do the settlement time free to go wherever i want it, plus i have to go. so it looks like this really means you want to have the police headquarters here in the western city of homes is serving as one of many reconciliation centers that the new government has established across the country. former officers come here to turn in their weapons and military id cards based and on the 4th of the old boss to pose for new civilian items. when they come here, x, y, z, officers are given some penalty receipts like this one. with these receipts, they are told they can go back to their daily life safely. for now, the interim government says that they,

so they would look into any alleged participation in crime like torture. you defect to authorities offer reassurance. as for those hesitant to show your has the both the ad on del autoplay. i'm gonna say we're not involved in atrocities that can re joined the army immediately if they want to. i'm not on zillow, but those who have blood on their hands and were involved in violence against the serious people will be legally prosecuted. and that with a new after that about yet they can be included in society and reclaim their civil rights. you might have football football if any comments on the streets nearby show the damage done by serious civil war and evidence of atrocities, surfaces every day for the new get take. a government says, every one we get a 2nd chance are you saw has accepted the new reality. it's

a movement of to brenda. and so 5 a one bedroom above college. it's nearly time for me to retire anyway and check it out. with the i love the time going back to normal life is, i'm good enough in this development class, this age, i can't work in reconstruction. i mean like the youngsters would've done it a little good. so i have to look for office work, sublet america's maybe in a supermarket or a more to do the finance itself has have you there's a sudden even so the office to work with the new regime. it seems you may find a place here. we appreciate your presence here and we value your expertise and we hope that it would be beneficial for us. god willing a general no more. based on you see goose to build his future.

lot report from i by route to bureau chief mohammed traitor who joins us now from damascus. welcome mohammed. so but the, so the stage and with the new governments at least talking about justice rather than revenge. it doesn't look as though stanley is reconciliation process as a chance of success. well, i think it's either this or another cycle of dictatorships and maybe civil war. there's no doubt that a lot that needs to be done in this process. but we've been speaking to a lot of people here in damascus and they've been that keen on, you know, reconciliation. they, once we basically bought, this is condition that because they want us to see some sort of comfortability, they want to see those who are important and trying to out the serial, split 2 years before you want to see them through

a fair trial. that's us. and they want to see what's important, see, they want to know the, the fates of their funds, and loved ones before any sort of the asked for the that you, a target is where we've been spending some time in reconciliation center like the ones we visited, the muskets and it's, you know, we, we could see that work is underway, model x, the officers are coming and offering their expertise. they want to work. they said they are ready to work with the, with a new authorities and, uh, the new authorities are showing some sort of a tolerance at the moment. they said that they, they would actually need their expertise at work on this week on some nation, but put the gun on the after they investigate them. and they know that they weren't involved in work on. right. and well, this is limits to form a rebels run syria, as a secular state. what it's, it's really hard to imagine,

but it's also hard to tell at this very early stage what, what the intentions of these, uh, you told us are, you know, they, they, we, we all know that they come from some of the background. so we know that'd be the most powerful group. the most powerful man here in syria today is listed as the head of a terrorist organization. and there's a lot of work that needs to be done for this to be revisited. and you know, as much as this is concerning to the west, it is also that raising at so many concerns amongst billions here, who once probably a 2nd to stay for a democratic stage we've been at yesterday at the 1st assist in. nope, it's kind of where hundreds of people were gathering in and sign for the most is the cold for a 2nd. let's see. we have to pull for women's wife. my voice is white and that is quite impressive via too. i swipe you and you know it's everyone is just

watching how the new authorities with this type of based on his background will be dealing with these people. and you know, there's also other voices there's, there's voices that once and it's finally cooled. but that's the big challenge. 40 you authorities here. they need to find a solution that almost everyone is happy with a brief one. then about what, what this government has said about the rights of, of women and the protection of mine, our asses, as well as they've been sending mixed messages, mix signals about this, some of the signals where of controversial for instance, the, the sports person off the h t s 2 days ago said that women may be can not be holding positions like, you know, the ministry off defense for example. that's,

that's what he said. maybe because what, what he said it's because of their physical capabilities. and also most of the stuff is and that, that, that was very controversial here in, in the mountains as much as what it was versus in west right. also. okay, thank you for that. my. how many mohammad straight to in damascus to gaza when a doctor say at least 30 palestinians, including children, were killed on 1st day by is rarely asked strikes these lights as dats come as us and out of mediators work around the clock on a new cx, 5 deal between israel and thomas for children and guys, and they will come and come soon enough. most of already lost a family friends on their homes. and we schools closed there also losing the education this is how you doing 10 years old is how many of us driven from beat honeymoon in northern gauze at the start of the war

. now they lived in mix of tents and century casa, nieto young with my wish is to go back to school and they get inside of them so that we can write and learn slots. but the israelis want us to be ignorant. we want to learn and become doctors on this. i love the got the know, instead of going to close the cues up at one of the guys, those charges kitchens together in his family and the key here we had never been to a charity in our lives. and now we go there to get food. yeah, we had money to buy food, but now we have to go to the soup kitchen. this window has to go to several places to get enough for his company and to must fight for every site. the how much is also 10 years old. he

can barely carry his family's daily supply or food to the by wait in line for an hour or 2. and if i don't get water, we might dive thirst. he to misses his old life and his school and he lives in constant fear of the i'm afraid of the war and of the rockets and i'm afraid for my future end of returning to school that it will be both after waiting so long. how you doing is exhausted and stay hungry. and if i wished a word and i'm afraid of the bombing and everything and the game and i want the ward. and so i can go back to our home and back to school because in the future is gone. now there's nothing left. and this thing, when the law, we're going to get a, what i'm going to have one of thousands of kids here watching the lights slip away

with little hope that things will get better anytime soon. i of the, let's take a look at some most doors making headlines around the boswell stats in the united states. the amount accused of killing united healthcare as c e. o is facing new federal charges of about it and stalking the we. gm has been transferred to the custody of new york city police that's being extradited from the state of pennsylvania. it's the legs that i see shot, brian thompson, in the back, in the hop. on the 4th of december, i think the opposing says that russia should have invited you train earlier. the russian president made the remark during his annual news conference. you've been told to say the water new crane, which forgotten maybe 3 years ago with russia's full scale invasion, is actually strengthened russia by making it truly self frank. in want of course, in russia has josh the suspect in the coming of senior general eagle kenny long and

his assistant died on tuesday morning when i go to explode, united side and residential building in moscow. you try and claimed responsibility for the attack. the goes back national has been demanded in custody until february when i talked to you, craig, and then does russia's war approaches, it's the that inverse re ukrainians having to innovate for its defense. it's emerging as a test. the ground for high tech crossing ads drove more effect. ariel and st. john's already destroyed much of russia's black sea fleet. but on land, drones are still in the infancy, dw, max, and reports. these are ground drones. they could soon be a common site on battlefields around the world. they can drive to enemy positions and blow themselves up. they can lee anti tank lines and take supplies to front line positions. they are easy to drive and keep soldiers out of danger.

if he's a man from the how to brigade test and modified ground drones produced by civilian startup companies during the last week, i was told by some of this mr. on has already laid more than $180.00 minds on. it has proved itself quite well. i mean for the move. so as you can see, it has returned to the supervisor with those other drums that you've seen me call them. they can act as kamikaze news or do logistics jobs for a small load. send me called zillow, he still would want to solo or his normal ankle, various brigades across ukraine. they're testing such ground drugs. it's not a centrally coordinated process. and then it's region, a logistics unit belonging to the 28th brigade is working with a multi purpose land. true. the mission needs a vehicle operator, a drilled pilot to track its progress and the commander,

the drunken lee moines. and it just takes a few minutes to fit on a stretcher to carry a water culture. they tell us that this concept still has yet to be proven on the battlefield. they've been using this drawing for 6 months, replacing soldiers carrying stuff on foot through dangerous areas for you on the phone and you can carry a 120 kilograms and move across the terrain. we see at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour. this is much faster than infantry with the same way it could go across fields. uh, would you give me a shout on the front end. the unit is using the drones in the field. helping to take about a ton of cargo to front positions each week. they take some of the burden and risk from soldiers making the trip on foot. back with a hunch, every gate, this man call sign rest is working on a drone. feedback to the manufacturer is only goes so far. often the soldiers make

crucial modifications themselves kind of making a repeater right now as of different things to which we can work at a greater distance on the front of it. so want to no need for these things. i've soldered it. now i'm just going to check if everything worked to and then i think if i did everything correctly this apparently since everything is lit, so it works. so it'll all be fine. but sometimes extra distance isn't enough. there's an arms race going on, especially when it comes to jamming radio signals. the, the electronic warfare blocks the signal that's it on the drone won't reach the destination, won't deliver ammunition. we won't be able to evacuate the wounded or perform any other combat mission. it will simply stop in the middle of the field and stand there and won't be of any use. of course, these ukrainian land drones are not the only ones in this war. the russian state is

developing such technology to with the resources that has, it's making more and doing it faster than the ukrainians. but the soldiers are confident as holding the fox, the, you know, because the main thing is how technically we use the foot. so if we use them wisely and those people work on, so if we don't use them wisely so they won't work with visual dominant. but for the most part, also they will replace people in many critical areas and within the political took on old jones have already changed for fair indeed. now they're doing it on the ground of automated savanski has been pressing the european union to do more, to support his country against russia's invasion. joining on a new summit in brussels that you're claiming presidents that your pay and security guarantees will not enough to protect you crime, without the backing of nato and the united states under donald trump. air raid sirens as russian drones attack keys almost 3 years into the war. these guys are

still far from safe and ukraine's president is still busy asking allies for more support and security guarantees. he struck a positive tone when asked how you felt about to trump taking office in january. welcome, donald. what can i say? which fears the trump may push for a quick deal to end, the war and force give to capitulate, where the backdrop to all the wind skis talks and brussels on to chose his words carefully. can you imagine, for example, we have sci fi? everybody, i'd be says fi um, yes, and can you imagine that into mazda, which and we'll come back, cause everybody. we need to have real plan, strong position us. and i very much cons that we'll, we'll, we'll have you need to between, you know, just as i said, and your opinion leaders,

unity is often out of reach among those you leaders. and even as the lensky made his case, hungary as prime minister victor oregon, known for criticizing ukraine and closing up to russia, was busy promoting his own blonde for a christmas cease fire. one which keeps says he has no mandate to make thousands of young guy side at christmas time. change the numbers on the new foreign policy chief made her view clear any at 1st for negotiations too soon will actually be a bad scene for, for ukraine. the only other actors in the world are carefully watching how, how we acts in this case. and therefore, we really need to be as strong and faced with questions on which concessions ukraine might have to make in the future. germany stopped to it's tried and tested

lines just as a lobbyist yourself comfortable, non good profit that's. i think it's completely inappropriate. there's something discussing what should follow is it's a full step. we're not thinking about what will happen soon. and i continued support for ukraine is important here, a clear course that there's no escalation of who does not develop into a will between russia and they turn the switch to. and also like searching for some of the laptops, this is likely the last time zelinski will meet you counterparts before the change of leadership and the white tice. 2025 may well mark a turning point. and zalinski is challenge in making sure rushes war turns and ukraine's favor slide. your corresponds into, let's see. a schultz named brussels is following the summit. and i asked to see whether you need us to move that kind of change the united position of ukraine with us president elect donald trump taking office in a month. yeah, this is of course the big question that has also been keeping everyone busy here at

the european summit. and at the summit there you are. if you need us, has been repeating one montrose, which is clearly a not or message to donald trump, and this is nothing without you crane. and nothing will be discussed without due credit. so nothing would be negotiated without ukraine being on the table. this is what the european union is saying. a goal is the same as that's nothing should be discussed about european security. and ukraine is considered you to be a question of european security without the europeans on the table. so it says they're sending out a message to donald trump that he should not go ahead and try to make a peace deal without extra use being part of the so be negotiations. but we have also heard a positive tone. so for example, there has been one of charles, he says that he thinks that there is a good cooperation possibilities. donald trump and also he's been picking up the phone on the sidelines of the a european summit and he's been talking to donald trump. and then after that phone

call, via for it, that they both agreed that the war in ukraine has been going on for too long and that there should be steps taken to find a way for a sustainable piece and you're trained associates chilton. now the united states as a day away from a possible government shut down after a 2nd, spending time failed to clear the house of representatives. upon would have kept the government funded until march and were supported by president elect donald trump. but dozens of republicans joined with democrats in refusing to back a bill that would have also suspended the debt. so you may the speaker johnson, are you feeling confident about this phone? and just i was speak to mike johnson and other republicans put together a bill into a spot us president elect donald trump. it included a provision, trump pulse for an increase to the us that the ceiling that would allow a trump government to borrow more money for the 1st 2 years in power. this is

washington. the only change in this legislation is that we are going to push the debt limit to january 30th of 2027. we will, we will uh, push it beyond that or to that time point. and that will allow us to do the important work of governing in the new congress. why does that matter? because we're committed to cutting hundreds of billions of dollars of wasteful spending out of the federal budget is wrecked democrats or a different reason for suspending the debt to limit an edge that policy to vote against it. because the provisions in this bill, particularly as it relates to suspending the debt ceiling for 2 years, are designed to bring about a massive tax cuts unpaid for for wealthy donors. and so wealthy cooperation, so 1000000 as in 1000000000 is who clearly summoned this congress are working for

full but to democrat spaces against the deal. but so did says he, a republican lo may because the 5 the bill is not past. this is the 2nd budget deal to break down this week. the previous still have support from both republicans and democrats, but a series of posts on social media criticizing the plan for us from being a law mosque. and then from president elect, trump, force the house republican leaders to dump the bipartisan bill. a government shut down looms just days before the holiday season if little made because did not pause suspending bells, it could mean essential government work has like troops at traffic controllers and transport security offices doing bad jobs on paid the federal workers who are that's a lot of uncertainty or you know, and a really expensive time of year to, to not know if you're going to have your, your job. that's scary. you know. i mean, ultimately it really matters,

but our government is working, especially during the travel times like the holidays. and you plan has to be approved by the house of representatives and the senate to get to us president biden's desk before friday midnight to avoid a government shut down. as a reminder of our top story, i vis our voters and the training and capital key, say russia has 58 ballistic missiles of assessing glass, the theme to force it across. that came with the reports of several injuries ahead of the attack your crimes and forcing huge a message on the ground warning, approaching missile batteries and set you up to date. i'll have more world views of the top of the outlook next on the dw remains of british pension. that's in well i wanted to start making punk music again. that's on the doc film and just the

sound side with a major vision to get more women on stage. life never played an instrument before. not a problem. ruth miller sounded the unglamorous music collective with a single goal. so she was the pump mom on

d w. the mirror will tell you the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use force and for the future in the stories industries that are being discussed across the country. news africa in 60 minutes on d w. the systems can be used across different geographies. the real china, it softens, needs to be incredibly scarce. waste and transforming. business is onset

real media and lots, just green washing. what's now on the it's a special concert. ruth miller is back on stage at age of 61, appearing with her punk band. the marino said we couldn't do it, but we did and she wants more women to do it. no matter what their age, even if they've never played an instrument before. she says it's high time for women to conquer the stage.
