a home hearing for the saved the handle that welcome to our the international new center with the latest updates from around the world. i a michael project. now we begin with the breaking news from syria where taurus forces have entered the capital damascus. the now here is the footage of gun fly and the city militants have claimed that they have penetrated into the capital shrewdly out of capturing the city of homes. located further north and archie sold has sold off a syrian army. officials afforded the troops to surrender. the video showed people gathering up the central square in damascus and following

reports of the cities, full gun fi icon. the hood as crowds celebrate the news, however, also is on the ground, se, but they many, many people are remaining in the homes, fearing for their safety. and here is some more footage from the syrian capital local reports say that this video capture the moment when the towers forces to control of the syrian state tv and that redo a headquarters and another footage from siri as main airport. the mask of international airport has suspended operation with all slides grounded had employees evacuated in this video. imagine the shows terrorists entering the premises of the syrian presidential policy and letting all gone fire as they do so . and that's as the bus driver on the sides. what about the related are known as the as the base right now? how do you know that social media images of her at the show,

the syrian foreign minister leaving his home to hand over a hazel festival powers to the towers from the sunset? i've taken over an office in the hotel in damascus on a report say that he has met with the medicines needed to discuss the political management. ready and the transitional period, and he asked to hold a free elections to allow this to people to choose their leadership that he made use of an m t check point are also coming from the syrian capital. obviously, we are in the army abandoned. the facility over night i met the news of the mosque, was being taken by the terrace that the syrian palm minister earlier released the video of message on social media and which he said he was staying in the country and was ready to cooperate with the opposition hey movies, this was the loveliness i call upon old fellow citizens, not to touch any public property because in the end it is their property. i am here

in my home. i did not believe it, and i did not intend to leave it except in a peaceful manner that'd be so that i can ensure the continuity on the work of public institutions and state institutions and facilities and to spread security and reassurance with a fellow citizen. the man would wake, send our hands even to the opposition. we'll have extended their hand and confirm that they will not attack any person who belongs to the syrian homelands. but to this country can be a normal country, a country that builds good relations with its neighbors. and the world. this matter is left to any leadership chosen by the syrian people. we are ready to cooperate with it so that we can provide them with how possible facilities are 2 of our big correspondents, while fi supp. rooney has more details now from the syrian capital on. the shots are being fired all over the city and, and it's around a skis. they are fired by members of arms groups celebrating their victory an entry into the syrian capital. and they believe that they have

a stablish our in damascus. and the people, the sounds of explosions are also audible. but these are undoubtedly not flashes, but celebrations ago, i'm entering the syrian capital, turned out to be a very easy task for both armed groups and militants operating in the vicinity of damascus. to shut up, the syrian troops very quickly abandoned their positions and command post. there were only minor classes which quickly subsided. also assume as groups announced that they had reached the building of the general director of radio and television, as well as the center of the capitol. i knew my head square off. there has been a series of statements by the leader of high a test for your i'll show him in one statement, easy band, all military formations from entering any government institution. the key stress that this span will remain in effect until the official transfer of power is carried out, and that these institutions remain under the control of the former prime minister for the time being looked at in turn. prime minister mohammed ali said that the syrian government was extending its hand to the citizens of the country for cooperation. and yet he called for the preservation of state institutions and

facilities shelves. dressing that the syrian council of ministers is ready to cooperate and provide all possible assistance so that state affairs are transferred smoothly and consistently and the state institutions are preserved. by let's discuss the developments now with our depo split into my, my a charge on the me right here in the studio, oma, a lot of, of the development coming out of syria. but what would say this thought that long ago we didn't just come up today, can you walk us through this, this development of course, and the whole situation was very quick. it was less than 2 weeks since the start of the offensive. and this is where we are now, but this is not out of the blue. this definitely has been on the mind of many for a very long time. i mean, we know that the rebels have long been backed by the united states for over 10 years. and so the context is very interesting because while the us now says that

the united states is not going to be involved in the conflict, you have um, previously that it made it clear on many occasions that the smoke supplant. i mean, let's take a look at this footage from us officials directly stating that aside is the enemy and that we should necessarily be taken out. so it needs to go. it's time for side to get out of the way as a test to go. the future, syria can't include facade, the world will not waiver assad must go the only way the civil war will and is a new government without bashar assad. now they are clear about their intentions in this footage alone, but that's not all in the hilary clinton email uh, archive. there was also no shyness about the fact that they're not very fond of assurance as a if you run, reaches the threshold of nuclear weapons. it will be much easier for to around to

call on its allies in syria and hezbollah to strike it is real, knowing that it's nuclear weapons will serve as a deterrent to israel in response to a ron's own actions. let's go back to syria. it is the strategic relationship between a ron and the ba sharla side regime and syria that allows the run to undermine is real security, not by direct attack, which has never happened in 30 years of hostility between iran and israel, but through its proxies in lebanon, such as has blah, which are supported, armed and trained by iran through syria, the removal of the assad regime will put an end to this dangerous alliance. these really leadership understands perfectly well why defeating assault is now in its interests and even jake sullivan. the same us official who is now stating that washington is now going to get involved in the situation in syria. you had previously stated in a linked email that the rebels own washington side. now of course, one can make their own conclusions here, but it seems to be pretty clear what their intentions are. meanwhile,

we have former us army general who couldn't have explained, etc. and washington strategy in the middle east. that's a strategy that they dates back that case and syria makes to list the countries that the u. s. piece. but to change one of the generals call me and he said, sir, you gotta come in. you gotta come in and talk to me a 2nd. i said we're too busy, said no, no, diseases. we've made the decision. we're going to war with your rack. this was on or about the 20th of september. i said, we're going to war with a rack. why? he said, i don't know. he said, i guess i don't know what else to do. so i came back to see him a few weeks later. and by that time we were bombing in afghanistan, i said, are we still going to war with a rack? and he said, oh, it's worse than that. he said he reached over on his desk. he picked up a piece of paper. he said, i just, you said i just got the is down from upstairs leading zachary defense office today . and he said this

a memo that describes how we're going to take out 7 countries in 5 years. starting with a rack. and then sherry 11 on libya, somalia, sudan, and finishing off your ran i said as a classified you said yes sir. i said, i said, well, don't show it to me. so go through the countries again. well, starting with the rack, then siri and 11 on them, libya, then somali and sudan, and then back to where ran. i knew stating there 7 countries in 5 years, including libya and a rock and others. and we've seen those examples in libya and rock. so one can make their own conclusions about what's going on in syria. i mean, there's a lot of examples here that the us is new rhetoric of not getting involved in this situation is a bit too suspicious. we remember there was an interview that donald trump gave to fox news, where she says that well, us troops remain in syria to take the country's oil. and of course,

western media now is not afraid to whitewash that. you had this group, and we have seen that in a recent interview with cnn and the groups, one of the groups leaders. and if you connect the thoughts that might be for a reason, the situation overall just seems a little too suspicious. the more you look at it, and in general, the u. s. has never really hidden its intentions intentions. you just really have to be a bit more cautious and look for them. all right, so the end game here soon to be arriving about, well wait to see how these things on fold into a home. i might just bring us up to speed on this. thank you. now moscow stop diplomats have read to rated ross as cold and hospitably season, syria sort of get loud rumble also highlighted. how find out does all using terrorists to do the joe political bidding. we absolutely convinced will feel the disability to use that or is like 3 of the who do it

a shot to achieve jo political purposes as it is being done though. oh, country as being a big becker, not only of syria but also of europe, hopefully be a flip a noun. and uh, it is not, it is not our fault that all the resolutions which will adopt it when they meet at least issues. some of the, for example, iraq was moment out of the state which without any discussion and the security council, the strongly reiterated cherry thorough integrity, 7 see, and you need to, of this year and the republican, we called for immediate and of hostile activities. we stated all of us that we won the resolution 2254 to be fully implemented them for this purpose

called for the dialogue between the government and digital that the position is provided in the resolution. you know, a case it's not about being concerned with was the impression they make on the people with those things and the, which we believe a n d if we quote failed, since 2015 foot failed to keep the syrian state. so if we could organize the process with uranium and there are 2 coolants which is called us the process. this in itself was a very fell from process. uh, nothing goes smoothly eatable diplomacy. but the events which uh, with this thing today that really geared to undermine every single we have been doing during those years. all right. sonya vonda and

a independent dots john, liz joyce, b right now live to uh, look at, take a look at some on make sense of some of these things. so now it's good to have you . do i be not, do you see a need for reading, defends, and what is happening on, on folding in the see right now to yes i do. but before i will say that i 1st want to give my deep sorrow for the serious people. i lived in the beautiful country for all enough for 20 years. now it has to say she knew as horrors again, unger, it's um, it's backed up by turkey. and then we come to the question. yes, the best for me is for an interference from turkey, from israel and the west. the us, of course, this is going on for many, many years already the same and the full face, the rooms lose something more for search news. and now finally, you pass fuller unfortunately, and we will see persecution,

some christians again and allies for this a different story. yes, of course the west is interested. we all know the axis of evil from george bruce. you said that sign many years in 2001 of the collapse of the, you know, the terrible thing. what happened in the us, he went straight away, said the excess of eco and syria is parts or westport is part of the x is equal to one to destroy syria, then did already with libya, they did already with your raft, with i've done his son and this is retail, yes. sion, i think retail the issue and also it has to do with the ukraine conflict. this is what i want to say. because we all know in the reasons weeks we heard steps. ukraine is, you know, was there ground? they were there with, did you have is they were you know, with that and trying to make them go to the do and effect. so there was this, the ukrainians were there and this is very terrible. i mean this a high f,

as we assume it's less than that, it is big, but not that big. that they could go on their own into what are they now conquering . so they had the deck of, of turkey and the backup of the us. perhaps nato as well, and it's a quote, it's a quote from the west, and this is what we are seeing and which is unfolding. and i must say they didn't go to the coast. so area is yes. that's what i'm good for all my people family. there are not yet, and says who's there are not yet in. so if you to little talk here, but we don't know, is there really is there going to, if they have to chose to go, there was, of course, the muskets has full and it's what we heard. and this is very terrible because there are a lot of community so that christian communities there and so long and already, you know, on the internet and i heard there's already tara going on there. so it's horrible. really, uh, disturbing times, not in the headlines. we see how media and western officials attempting to

whitewash the terrorists who joined the insurgents on slots. so yeah, then have even interviewed the militants, despite the west itself, recognize that the group of terrorists, what do you make of that? and is it a dangerous shift? a very, very dangerous. i mean, in 2021. there was just us, a general pbs do what they went into. it lives and interviewed a whole lot of it is the, the leader i'll tell you of the show and they want to betray him. like he was now is heavy as long as he was now conducting political is long and he yeah, okay. it's like with the ukrainian as well, with the, you know, in 2022 and they said okay, there are no matches any more than that with guys and there are helping the ukrainian army. this is exactly what they do and what they did with high up. so how do you get a stronger that i'll, um, i'll try to and this is what is now very, very disturbing. and when we look at the media today in the west drum and the docs,

well european usa, you name is, it's the west. oh, you know there levels on now from reading syria, it's not rebels, it's territories. and the art of kansas there are, is, there are, have choices, i must say. i mean, i, i saw it, i mean, they, they did the horrific things there in syria. and this is now is going to move syria . and this is back oh, by turkey. and it's, you know, to israel is quiet because i know they are very happy that this has happened. and also you will be in union. but i must say, i mean they are being union is seeing a lot of pressure keys are ready and they will see more know. so this is the stupid thing. what to use in union is do inspection of the terrorist. me. now, why don't the west the back for my isis not tied to affiliated terrorists as the freedom fighters who have liberated the country from the side reasoning? why would ask? is it better to have service instead?

and uh, well they see it just variables. so this is the 1st part, the 2nd point is it's very good to have this position in the middle east. this is what they want. i mean, we already heard and i know it, it's like that. did us as standing the oil in the same? yeah. and the new administration on from does and once the sold used to go out of the syria, so this, they want to run the country. this is what they wanted to do with ukraine as well. well, at least the don't boss and the, which is, you know, following the cost of, i mean your of is following the of the us and they have nothing to say. and also there's a lot of ignorance. but if you look on the streets of europe, i mean if you look at germany, they have lots of a terra, vist already inside the territory of to develop a level in 2016. and now maybe they will have more people coming in. so this is in

the interest of europe may be in the audience. you can say that the terrorist like hire somebody, and i sure would stay in syria so they will not come to europe. but i mean it's, it's always, they are on the wrong side. they call terrible rebels, and this is what they do in the middle east, and this is what they are doing in the most as well. i see the connection there. you know, there's just they use that as instruction and india and maybe they don't need them anymore. they will let them go. busy but for the time being, they need them and also they need the courts assist the other points with, you know, to a key will no 1st the courts there. so it's just, it's, it's terrible if you think about it it's, it's really a dark day and you know, for to me the least i really adopt day about what about how this could all impact the why the situation in the mid least. what are you, what scenarios are you looking at when it comes to either escalation or destabilize ation in the, in the entire region as well?

i think the next level, i mean, the at home already spoke on the church general yesterday. he said he was speaking to somehow the prime minister 11, and it was all very, you know, he was, i think it was confusing. he was confused, i must say, but okay, that's another story. but he was speaking about 11 and we all know it's turkey has aspirations and israel has expiration. cit, circ has aspirations to build a big turkey. and israel has was always and this is, this is really true. and this is not a secret for ever people. they have the no plan of this is a plan for many years ago to establish a greater israel and this is the 80. so i think let us alone, we already see what is happening there. and we will see more because he has full outdoors just still accessing machine level. know there's still enough to see says even the west wants them to. but i think, yeah, if this pressure comes from 2 sides now, maybe 11 on with fall as well. i hope not,

but this is what could could happen if you could have them. you know, this was so i hope, the excess of resistance. this was what we call the other sides from the axis of evil. and this is the reference and what syria parts of it, i live alone. i hope they can. uh, yeah, we put the pressure wrong against the western coalition. this is what i can call them, you know, turkey, israel and the west. but it's very hard, and i know it's very, very hard because we don't know what it's real. they have to make a weapons that we don't know what they have. so it's all very, very dangerous. it's can escalates any moment that how well the fall of syria impacts this standoff between the ease. we'll add new ron. we all know that the mass codes had been a long standing baccha of turbine. well uh we have to see

calling days what you around will do. uh of course uh they, uh, i think hesitating, but i think we can see some action from around. and of course, hezbollah, gammon, but around we uh for sure. they will not stop and stop supporting syria and they will not. and because oh, that's that they're on the excess of resistance. so i think we can see some prior work going on the coming days for israel. and i don't know about turkey. i don't think the wrong answer key will be waging war on each other. i don't think this will escalades, but i mean it's, i'll send you open the actually the most came of, i always say was 30 something i and others who are in this uh, you know, whole serious thing. know that turkey has always played the season roll. i mean, they have yeah, they, they smartphone oil also for russia, they had the plane that it was plainly for russian scientists. there was so many

incidents opened years and then of course the russian investigator was killed in the i'm kind of so i mean, so, but i think don't think this was escalated because therapy is, is a too large country and to powerful but it around for sure. we will see some try what's coming. all right, we'll have to leave it here and i'll see you on monday and then independent. does the journalists thank you so much for your insight. thank you very much. and the nice day right now, the idea of has golf updates, moved its troops into the buffer zone between these within syria, him the golan heights, and that the ongoing events. he said he was making the move for security reasons and stress that it's not into fairing and serious intent on the fast. in accordance with the situational assessment, following the recent events in syria, including the entry of armed personnel into the buffer zone, the adf is deployed forces in the buffer zone and in several other places necessary

for its defense to ensure the safety of the communities of the golan heights and the citizens of israel. not the sancho offensive has been led by the hey, jada, sorry outside, and tara is group which appears to be backed by foreign powers. all the days more i've guys de, ever put in excessively from war ravaged. i level during some of these heavy it's fighting it endured 8 years ago that he has more details on the legacy of the tower groups and now seizing power in the country. how? yeah, to talk with you guys. um, formerly a news for upfront is the only organization that's among the syrians. it looks the same fear as isis. they all made entirely from the same terrible cloth by the same terrible people. the most important thing frankly, is saying if we can reach an understanding with the russians about how

to number one deal with dash and i'll know so on. this was the other group, their job that on those are the are designated terrace group by the united nations . you hear less a balance of because how you got to talk to these i'd shot keeps it's tara to syria . it's the whole package folded a decade with of suicide bombings, but headings, torture, sexual violence. the least of depravities is endless. the groups you when does it you need to to re so conditions such as h t s m, i 0, then also start to depriving people of death. you bit cheap commuting even more. i mean those violations against them. often we sick dead and the terms it was formed by the way, by a full month slot mc state. come on the automated husein,

i've shut off also known as a bu, mohammad yolande, a true korea geologist who has been killing and killing for more than 20 years, who freshly released from american prisons in iraq and with the blessings and support of booth. i says, and i tried to win to syria to start a new ami. rewards for justice is offering a reward of up to $10000000.00 for information on mohammed al gilani. giovanni leads the news for a front. okay, does affiliate in syria in january 2017 on news for a front merge with several other hard line opposition? groups to form hire to here ocean? well l giovanni is not the leader of hire. to hurry or ocean. he remains the leader of our car. it is affiliated, a new song upfront, which is at the core of hire to hurry or ocean. in a moment, he's in his groups, crimes or kidnapping nuns then un peacekeepers,

nothing. we have been criticizing some western policies in the region, but to wage a war against the united states or europe from syria. that's not true. of course, we know a decorative assignment and all of these groups, they are, origins are, you know, tied up. and we know, of course we're that lead, there's no nothing that can be said about. i'll july, the and these groups and somehow that they are of courses for peace and forces for inclusion and diversity. these people want to create a new calibrate, and their goal is to either have force everyone to pay taxes has happened before in the ottoman empire or forcibly converts and were killed them. those who do not believe, and by the way, these are the same people who destroyed busy, indeed iconography, who destroyed assyrian arts, who destroy artifacts, who, who kill rate. these people are not to be trusted by any stretch of the imagination . but of course it falls on the americans and.
