the that we're continuing our coverage of the latest drive shaping the. busy right now, this is our d to national i a michael question. now we start with the very latest following a dramatic few days in syria. and these really forces have reportedly conducted heavy ass price and defense basis and strategic facilities in the country. the all for to circulating on line shows huge explosions, lodging up the night, sky and deafening back. shattering the silence in various regions. the local media reports say that more than 250 targets had been attacked, including 3 major ad bases, emulation, depos planes, and helicopters. e's real estate as it has taken the action to keep the weapons out

of the hands of the extremist who have seized power. now at the same time in the south of the country, idea of troops of crossed into where you a buffer zone, taking up positions previously controlled by the syrian army. now our, our up countries like a top iraq and saudi arabia has condemned the following is a great validation of international law. and the dangerous development of i think, is what the problem minister benjamin netanyahu has an assistance that the golan heights will forever remain within his country's control. but that appears to put him at odds with israel's main allied, the united states. this is a temporary accident. they have taken, we support all sides of holding the 1974 does engagement agreement. we all understand the great importance of our presence there, a top, the goal in heights, not at the foot. now what we want to see ultimately is the, um, uh, that agreement fully up upheld. and we'll watch to see that as real does that, our control and authority over the golan heights,

ensures our own security. israel has said that these actions are temporary um, to defend its borders. these are not permanent actions. the golan heights will forever be an inseparable part of the state of israel. now, well, let's take a look at who now controls watch in syria. well, as you can see inside trends and terrace are in charge of most part of the country, including the capital of the mask us. and meanwhile, in the south, as we were just as reporting the i, d. s. has crossed new to the buffer zone. right there, around the golan heights and you know, capturing pepper tree through ground invasion while it's air force his pocket, the mask us, which is the capital up. and also in the western part of the country, we've had explosions and fires had been seen in the mediterranean city of laptops here. that where you have a naval base. now plumes of smoke have been seen rising over the port. i made

further reports as well, has been conducting air strikes in the area, naval and all those strategic facilities. i believe that had been hit with pictures showing fires raging and boats partially song. there's been no comments from tel aviv so far, but it would fit into the pots of other attacks being reported throughout the country. so now to the other parts of the country, which have been taking control of by many tons of groups. and you can see right there in the north, the yellow pots you see here, marks the area of which the cards currently controlled. now on the border with the key, all right, that you will see the turkish bats militants have plus with the us a bunch of codes over the city of mount page. rather what you see uh the, the us patch, right? the that's what it is that the company she based on the tech is syrian border, which is right here in the north eastern part of the country was also set to had

been the target of used where the strikes. now this footage kept as part of the attack around the facility, a report say at the munition dep, it was head causing the explosions in flames. you can see in the video that a local john list sent in this report from the region to help you. hi, i here i get to 3 or i'll show i'm released a statement after the capture of the city in which they confirmed that they would not attack occurrence. they also offered the sd after the syrian democratic forces, a safe exit from the city, with the preservation of the weapons under the commander of the sds, must new model made a statement at a press conference held 2 days ago in the city of casa con. he stressed that there had been contact with higher tek rations regarding the chic, my school and osh throughout the districts in the level of city. he explained that these contacts were mediated by the international coalition. it is still unclear what events may occur in the near future of the economist administration of north

and east syria. and the syrian democratic forces have confirmed their readiness for dialogue with everyone. and in addition, representatives of the sd of expressed a desire to resolve the accumulated problems with the key to negotiations. in recent years, relations between the kurdish national council and the serial position had become increasingly tends to the violations committed by these formations against currents . in the region, he currently there are real calls from all participants to open a new page. monday is of great strategic importance. and the phrase region is also a key trade hub, connecting the north eastern regions of syria with the northern regions of the country. where important trade crossings are located on the earlier hi spoke to our correspondents reporting from a run, a check here and 11 on. we'll discuss how the abrupt power changes. syria has seen tensions spiral in the region. you said, let me stop with you. what do we know so far about the rhymes position on the

situation involving in syria, the expansion of his really movements? india was era neighbor has really caught a nerve into one. it won't stay television in recent days. out has been all about analyzing the downfall of aside with commentators discussing why get one did not do enough to protect besides rule of course sides to wait for such discussions. but copies of the public is not happy to see that as well as reading down it's neck and syria. and that has part some serious reactions from your lawn, which are now appears to be showing teeth to as well as the idea of continues to carry out air strikes across syria. on monday, chief commander of the iranian army, major generals are the right. he was heavy suppressed the readiness of these on the public's armed forces in the face of any potential swear. as of course, he was addressing the country's army personnel when uh he said um the ron's

military is on high alert and he's prepared for eddie scenario. and with the ongoing developments in syria, the armed forces as always have a duty to constantly prepare themselves for any threat they imagine. and this readiness is permanent. we also heard such comments from a small, you've about all you the spokesperson for the ministry of foreign affairs and you're on uh he did not hold back of course, and now slamming israel for their repeated attacks on the syrian infrastructure and what he described as occupations of more parts of the golan heights in the past couple of days. he wasn't too pleased with how the western countries sat back and stayed quiet about this aggression by as well. basically, he said that he said that as well interprets this silence on the part of the west as a green light for its actions in syria. is that these measures and actions are regrettable,

especially when cereals are busy with all the political changes in their country. so by all you made it clear that this behavior goes to a guest, all the rules or norms of the international community. he urged the one security council to try to put a stop to the aggression and hold tel aviv responsible. so these are all the latest from the one inside. the ass in other talk is president has now made in a number of statements on the situation on folding in serial. what is the latest sofa and this is important moving forward because it's not just a discussion to be at between those on the ground, whether we're talking about the transitional administration of what they're talking about. officials that occur. but we understand the target position also takes into consideration the importance of international relations, bilateral relations and is doing everything and trying to ensure that it essentially has an inclusive policy moving forward. speaking of area of influence, best center, it does have an influence within the country. and we understand that the church present when discussing the latest developments may have had

a slip of the time. some argue that it was a friday and step assistance from the church president talking about syria moving forward, honey. how much while i left the comma homes and finally damascus passed under the control of turkey's real owners, the boss dictatorship, which would survive through his blooded cruelty, oppressions, and tyranny. for 61 years has completely collapsed. we are pleased to tell refunds and members which have been under the occupation of the separatist organization for years despite the promises that have been cleared of terrorist love took. he will not tolerate the emergence of new terrorist outbreaks beyond its borders. we understand that the churches president's policies issued a written statement addressing that specific statement suggesting that search here is the rightful owners, serial president bush or low side cell does not necessarily mean that this transition is going to be clean and smooth. the issues are there is going to be very crucial and just a significant c. now the matters are tackled moving forward by uncorrupted by damascus small scouts out rod and considerably other actors within the region.

cross over now to bear roots 11 on where steve sweeney a span advice team. watch for situation 11. unlike with the develop and seen serious gathering up pension, there's a sense of all right, there's a sense of nervousness. we've just seen a terrorist organization. hightower awesome, i'll call you to essentially take power into moscow city, which is just a few hours drive from the lebanese capital babies. but really the main concern isn't necessarily for those type of groups that are off, is it based below the into level? and of course, itv one of the major challenges in britain describing it as a free syria and others which of imbedded with the organization. we saw the interview, of course with gilani and cnn. now from the government we haven't heard much more from not you. mccarty to kind of take a prime minister, he reinstated, that's his main concern is for the syrian people in serious territorial integrity.

he has now a south a committee which is a full, the people that live with these people that have been forced to be dissipated. syrian prisons has them all, made the statement very lights on monday nights. and again, it spoke about the territorial integrity of, of syria. it raises main concern really was the actions of as well. and it's expansion into the onto fi code in the high schools illegally occupied by as well. 69267 is i really recognized as is ready to keep by the united states. the rest of the international community recognizes as stevie integrity and of course now we're seeing the expansion that but also the bullying bolden at $200.00 missiles of rain dive on the syrian capital, damascus, without asylums actually from the new buddhist of the series. i haven't said anything or spoken out to about the is right, the attack succeed in the attacks in the talk here as well,

but also in southern lebanon. we've now seen attacks any venture by all 3 people for 1180. so it is undistributed and killed in its settings. try convince you about where the all t crew was just last week on the house is being demolished in the photo. now, ross, which a guy who were buttons on the is radio occupation. so of course there is some degree of course, and there is some degree of nervousness and people are just waiting to see walks or indeed where is next. this is wild representatives of the toppled government along with members of the opposition and the leader of the tower. is group which has seized the control of the country have met to discuss the transfer of power over the sides. busy my prime minister and i gave assurance that he would supervisor stating assimilation until control was handed to a new administration. are these why fi, bruni reports now from damascus? who if he, the right now we can hear is riley minute tree. i, croft of damascus. they are constantly here,

shunning the city suburbs intensively with more than 150 strikes on the form of syrian ami positions. most of the weapon re, storage facilities have been hate to reggie, as is riley false is always bouncing from the buddha in damascus. mohammed alshaun and the former council of ministers have appointed mohammed out by sheer, as the new syrian prime minister in charge of the transition periods. and as previously, he loved the salvation government that was managing the oppositional occupied regions around ellipse. they have also defines the conditions for the transition of pilot and measures to prevent tales of police and other enforces of public who have been deployed by the minute to come on to be stationed in public areas, roads and government, mental buildings, a coffee from 5 pm to 5 am has been imposed in damascus, latasha and talk to anyone who violates it will be punished by a month of imprisonment. right now the situation is stable. there was no random

shooting today compared with before, and some new restrictions against defendants were adopted. and who i now know more live in the syria has been turned on its head over the last few days after was 4th is closed on the capital. locals cow it inside their homes, fearing for their lives. one opened up to us about the terrifying events. this is what you want to do here in the area where i live. it's an illegal construction site in damascus. a neighborhood for poor people know it's mostly inhabited by people from the l. a white concession. it's our brother, confession to which the president also belongs to a couple. they frankly panicked it pretty much. i mean, during 3 nights there was chaos. it was on thinkable. even i was scared and did not understand what was happening. there was no point in evacuating at all. first of all, how is it possible to get there at night and to find a car to leave?

the owner of the apartment called me and said, come on, find me a car and let's go together. good. i said, no, i'll sleep until morning and tomorrow i'll decide me. of course i then could not fall asleep, but we sat with my daughter until morning and observed that yes, there was panic here. some people were afraid that they were going to be slaughtered. although they tried to call them every one down saying that they wouldn't talk to anyone and they announced it on all the channels. while the dias coast flag has been seeing flying in the city of homes. a people also climbed onto the tags wave, the so called c with the opposition flag and fire guns into the yeah, of the us secretary of state has one to the isis might use this as a window of opportunity in syria. this moment presents a historic opportunity, but it also carries considerable risk. history shows how quickly moments of promise

and descend into conflict in violence. isis will try to use this period to re establish as capabilities to create safe havens to well, washington is no stranger to dealing with crisis in the middle east, particularly especially, it's been pulling when it's pulling the strings behind. many of them are doing a port that has been looking into how us a funding of revolutionaries in the region has brought k off and terrorism, but all neatly wrapped up under the guise of democracy. all right, we have to break into that right now and they let you know that the un that is a special envoy in syria. you're a partisan, is holding a press conference right now. speaking of the bullet, la situation currently holding in the country after the terrorist over through the sob government electric, unless it is a voltage should moment in the serious history with the president assault, i'm his government hosted from public following which can only be called an extra

ordinary military offensive that so it almost goes full within 2 weeks. and our goal is want to be basically, sol, was that the military and all the rest of the machine collapsed. but this is simple and the situation is still moving fast. syria is no, i think cross road with great opportunities, but also with dre the risks. and we need to read it to look at both the we know that or cause h, this is know the dominant group in control of the most goose. but it's important also to remember that they are not the only on group and damascus the off their to fall over level. we saw a very broad range on deposition goods does mobilized,

including what they call the turkish back. syrian must allow me in the north and the so called former southern front that obviously came from the south and also older groups that basically erupt it, whatever it calls, pertain you're slowly as armed you formations. and let me know, emphasized is the i'm, it's really an essential point for note, much of what some called a ripple controlled syria is under the control. and what are the coal and patchwork on groups who are co ordinating well for? no, but they are not fully or formally united. it's important that we don't see conflict between the scripts that we also say that by and large, we have seen the reassuring statements from the h

d. s and the different on groups. but there are still some issues of a little an ordered. let me hope we are hopeful that they re postables to keep low and order it. but also let me mention this. the conflict in the northeast is not over. there has been clashes between the syrian national arm into a position group and see if we are caught up cooling, obviously for com also in this area. and then a very troubling development. we are continuing to see is there a ne movements em bombardments into serial territory. this needs to stop. this is extremely important. let me then just give

whatever called 3 key messages they need to continue to stress the protection of the civilians. i have a p to the on actors to maintain good contact law and order and to protect civilians and 9 and international humanitarian law and preserved public institutions. and as i said, i've heard pulse statements from the h d s. and the older on goods that day in tend to continue to reassure civilians that they want to be inclusive, especially with minorities to my 2nd point links to both our side the little bit earlier, we need to continue to vote for the escalation. we need to see and stop to these are anti attacks and they need to make sure that the conflict in ne stops. and we need to make sure that there are no conflicts developing between the different

armed groups. but then 3rd, and this is perhaps today my most important message. we need to focus on the need for credible and transitional arrangements in damascus. this means that there needs to be what i call orderly arrangements. but it also means and this, of course, i don't need to repeat it, but it's extremely important. it's needs to be inclusive arrangements that is ensuring the representation of the broad as possible the spectrum. oh, syrians of the syrian society and the syrian parties. and let me say that if this is not happening, then in various new conflict in syria, i believe that this is understood by all groups,

but mostly no need to c s. this is implemented on the ground in syria. and it is my hope that if you do it is you annoyed the syrian parties, they bring together the different syrian communities, then this could be the really beginning of something new plus area, an important plan. and i think then david also see a united international community supporting the syrian terms if then vickers start to look at listing sanctions increase your monetary and support starts economic recovery. because see the return of syrian refugees only internally displaced, returning through their homes and recruit, start to see us the high commissioner for human rights mentioned yesterday. the justice is fine. the read reached all of this needs the cooperation,

all the international voters and the syrian parties. and i can promise you that the united nation has been do whatever we can to help in this situation. thank you so much. thank you very much gay your, it's a really appreciated i have a list of questions like this. please be fast. i'll start with jeremy just as it all those to if we can take 3 questions off the go and then mr. petterson will answer them together. thank you mr. patterson. let's, let's, let's do it this way. quick. what does that mean? uh, so the question is, do you have any contacts with h t? yes. so for all the i'm groups right now in damascus and how much do you hope to achieve with those groups that you didn't achieve with the advertising? and the 2nd quick one would be about the, the moves by such a number of european countries suspending or denying the refugee seeking

as item process in europe. do you welcome those moves or do you think it is too early to thank you very much. you do, yep, it allows you to know those things. so thank you and thank you for coming with a brief us. i have a question also about it. she is. this is the 1st time with a text or we started his ation. i mean, it was like how you doing syria? is that these taking the boy in one country? what is your recommendation to all the countries that are considering h t as as terrorist? do they have to speak with them? they have to clean them from that they're released. what is your concern for the ok? thank you very much. yes, please. madam, can you introduce yourself for mr. jimmy from kind of media group, i have a question to what is your plan for the next and any kind of the discussions will be had in the new future. thank you, dave. in the future. this question uh,

let me start with the question of h. s. dot is obviously a key question, but let me also emphasize they are not only, as i said, they are not on the on group that are know in damascus. and so, as you all know and security council resolution 2254 on this level, it's listed as a terrorist organization. this is on obviously a complicating factor for all of us. but we also have to be honest, we have to look at the fact and to see what has happened during the last 9 years. it is all 9 years since that, that us and it was most adopted. and the reality is so far is that the h d s. and also the older on groups had been sending good messages to the syrian people. they have been sending messages of unity of

inclusiveness and frank just speaking also. we have seen him in the level and in houma, we have also seen, you know, reassuring things on the ground. but as i stated at the very beginning, there also being challenges on sunday in particularly in damascus. deborah lou, things that are older is that are, you know, the innovation on public buildings on private homes, but this seems to have stopped and that is a good thing. but what we need love to see is a cause that the good statements and what we have seen on the ground at the beginning that this is no follow up though, in practice, in the days and the weeks ahead of us. and the most important test, the most important test will be hold the transition and the arrangements in damascus is organized and implemented. these arrangements, as i am emphasized, many times,

needs to be inclusive if they are really inclusive on all the different groups and all that communities in syria as that. and then there is a possibility for a new beginning. and then i do believe that the international community will look at the listing all h this again, because then there is a really change stuff that happened and you and also also i heard that there are discussions and i think you're on a himself mention this and then into you may just cnn that they are discussing the possibility of this month thing i guess. so again, let me emphasize we are still in what that be called a very fluid period. 2 things, i'm not settle time. there are, there is a read. i'll put you in a date for change, but this opportunity needs to be gross by the syrians themselves, and supported by the u. n. and the international community. that's what i'm no telling you,

i think is an advice from the t o t international actors. as standing for mentioned, i've also indoor, i discussed this with the or close to be the turkish foreign minister with the russian video ranging, but also me the art of foreign ministers. and the old united behind this message that me needs to see what they're saying be implemented on the ground. and this is a huge challenge. i'm here also, this means you have some links to what i said earlier about these radio tags. extremely important. that remote don't see any action from in the international directory that destroys the possibility for this transformation is area to take place. then i think there was a question about the record is a let me hear give

a very strong opinion that the situation in syria is still fluid time if we need to be aware of that thing. so i'm not consolidated, but at the same time, i know from speaking to syrians, all over that there are for a whole an optimism and many do want to go back. let me just mention will make something to you. then i'm also leaving door. there was a serial in the family that came to wants me, they were living in sweden and they said, mr. patterson, you know we are. so hopefully we know there are many challenges. we left home a 10 years ago. we really want to go back. we hope it will be possible, and i think that is really something that many, many syrians hoping for to this day. but let's make sure that the international community that we're helping them in this process because there are lively the challenge is still in syria. as you will know, you minutes here in serious situation is the software is the economy has collapse.
