the, the, the, the idea for a port of late bombs to surround port and the capitol region while the is really defense, ministry instructs trip to brace for a winter in the buffer zone. in the countries south. you politicians urge display syrians living in europe to return home with some even offering it cost incentives, but the refugees fear for their lives. it isn't and not interested in politics or calling from 1000 euros to be given to syrians. i think that's a terrible idea. the situation in syria is just as dangerous as it was before and the mayor of police. he apologizes on behalf of george as ruling tardy for ever allowing the country's current western back the president to come to power. since

the nation faces immense and external pressure as elections to kick off the live in moscow on rachel ruble, this is our t international is really war. planes have reportedly attacked targets in the vicinity of serious capital, damascus, striking military installations near the city and the surrounding countryside are there on friday, idea of selling hit the syrian parts of logic here. and the charges, meanwhile, is rarely ground. forces are operating in the buffer zone. the idea footage you're seeing right now is showcasing its latest actions against reported government military positions. israel is looking to control are roughly 400 square kilometer demilitarized zone in syrian territory. it's a un designated area created after the 1973, mid east war,

and has been patrolled by united nations forces since following the alistair of president bush or olive saw the idea of has carried out raids across the buffer zone and is preparing to dig in for some time is due to what is happening in syria and there is enormous security. important to are holding onto the peak of mount herman. everything must be done to ensure the idea of the readiness on site in order to allow the fighters to stay there in severe weather conditions. v is rarely aggression, as part to international condemnation. with the accusations flying about, sees fire violations, and exploring the chaos and syria to grab territory. here's the reaction from a senior un official about the breach of international law. justin in recent days in syria, a disruption of the syrian air force when they're on node pilots, because syria has no functioning government or military that can fly those plans at the moment. there is absolutely no basis on the international law or to

preventively, or preemptively dis on a country you don't like. i mean, if that were the case, it would be a recipe, 5 global chaos because lots of countries have adverse raise. they would like to see that without without weapons, and this is, this is completely lost that there is absolutely no basis in an international law or to do a germany in the united states supply 99 percent of the weapons exported to israel . they could stop this conflict of a nice scholar, christopher holloway, who served with the people's defense unison fought against di system. syria gave us his take on why israel seems to be operating with impunity in the region. now, as i do but see that there is some evidence to point to the fact that i had talked about shawn, right? yes. have had some maybe back door agreements with the is really, but is she that allowed it to carry out the operations that i did,

whether it be intelligence or other i'm i'm not sure exactly the full extent. regrettably, i think that the city and state as we know it, as we have known it, at least for the past 50 or so years, is no more. i think that what we are actually going to see is a possible partition of syria with a part of the south that's going to be under the control of israel, part of the north, which is going to be controlled by to get. and then we might see little statements that emerge within syria given district theory, intentions and differences between out of the whites. chris dinged drew's cards and of course the sydney. so i think that the, there's a great concern here that we're going to see a process like we didn't yugoslavia or libya today of bulk innovation. and i think that's the great concern with the states as just as historic and as powerful as syria once was. we might see that overall dismembered at this point and that's one

of the tragedies of this uh, ongoing situation. our tea correspondent on this, does he have a lot of that brings us the latest developments or every day we're hearing out today. it's about the israel's campaign against syria and military infrastructure ideas, even claiming that it has destroyed 80 percent of a solid submitted tree might in order to prevent it from getting into the wrong hands. a will say, saying adf, moving in the buffer side as that preparing to stay that over winter. and interestingly, the ruling h t s. policy that is now in control of damascus has kept quite until now as state reported, please send a left to to the un condemning israel, illegal occupation of south and syrian territory assessments that at a time when the syrian arab republic is witnessing a new phase in its history in which its people are looking forward to establishing a state of freedom. the israeli occupation army has penetrated additional areas of

syrian territory. coinciding with violent shelly, which is still ongoing. targeting a number of civilian and military sites in damascus and various parts of syria. the syrian arab republic condemns in the strongest terms. this is riley aggression, which represents a serious violation of the 1974 this engagement agreement. it also constitutes a violation of the sovereignty of the syrian arab republic and the unity and integrity of its territories, and is inconsistent with the principles and purposes of the united nations charter to well, this last is clearly patched with some strong language against israel. and this is a shift because h t as previously maintained a pretty restrain sconces last week. the h t s folks pass and a claim that restoring security and services in the country is that top priority. and he does not mention anything about israel as a tax split system. so that can i get your reaction to these is really air strikes

. we've had over 300. no, no, no. the low top priority is to restore security and services to revive civilian life and institutions of caffeine, newly liberated cities. there are many urgent parts of the day to day life to restore the bakeries, electricity, both communications. so all priority is to provide those services to the peterson macedonia. i understand it's not your priority. what are you honestly telling me that you have nothing to say about israel striking 300 sites in this country? hello, let's check on the whole and so i have no doubt we want everyone to respect the sovereignty of the new syria. this point is very important to us. all of this clarity doesn't match the laughter to the un and the claims that they've ongoing child. they've undergoing the transformation costing themselves as freedom fighters and defenders of syria. a h t s. chief delani previously claimed himself that she

has is not looking to start a with israel as people a tied out seeking for peace let statements as well. yes, syria will not enter into a new war with israel. the country is not ready for another one of our biggest threat was, has belong, steer, ronnie, and back to militias in syria. and the regimes is on this. so such um, cools for pays from him occasionally, no convincing as we know about his pause. so this letter is, can, is just to show off it and since taking control, what's the reality on the grounds? while the h t s position themselves as freed the slightest, the start trying to whitewash the cost. but we have to keep in mind the h t s, a mash from the all new storefront, and there are 3 interesting sites to mention hand the 1st be why get them to pause the serious newest ortiz? i will put on tom military journalist who works for the form of government. and syrian state information service will say notes that such move is done to restore justice. and secondly,

that is an on very slide to video circulating online at the moment of the h t. s. terrorist actually brutally a restaurant and the she is in love talk to you why she didn't see that on the screens right now. and so the h t s chief to lonnie who was also seen, he was also seen asking a woman to call the head during a life tv. and um his uh, during his interview with cnn, he actually explained that his, his views have become more moderated from, from what we're seeing his views stay the same over the years. yeah. can you remind our viewers about, oh, jolanda is passed? well gilani, despite being the leader of the higher w, i'll show a minutes in group that emerge from the mr. fun. he's also a full my. i says, i'll call you to see any lead to on a key figure in siri and civil war on the us. state department, back in 2013 actually titled him as specially designate of global terrorist due to

his ties with outside to ask. he plays a role in setting up a tax that resulted in my civilian casualties. under delani is combined all nice refund, also became and famous was using extreme violence including suicide bombings. kids now things um executions. well and so engaging in bottles. i guess all the syrian groups, christopher holly again says there are conflicting takes within the h t s on how to handle israel as well. i think it's, it's very interesting that the, this, this, the new see it again into a government has used this type of language where we have not heard the same kinds of nations from damascus itself. i think that it, it basically reveals the to many of us that they're still ongoing contradictions. we've been this new intern from government that there is no unified message for unified understanding of what's going on. and that there's still reports coming out that there are mixed alliances. and, you know,

persuasions within the interim government from different infections that have not yet fully coalesced around a unified understanding of the only the is really actions. now in terms of the bombardments but of their overall relationship with israel and other regional states. as someone who had spot in syria and i thought there in 2017, alongside current fish, a city and out of army and the russian forces. i'm deeply concerned about this attempt to whitewash hiretech without some distance. it's, but it's a distance. it's from, it's, is stomach state and outside of root, and ultimately to be a, to play into a type of historical revisionism where they tried to portray of july and in other h t s. leaders. and somehow freedom fighters, interest, secular and democratic when they are its limits and that they want to study a lot. they are part of the strain of why be and self ism which is deeply concerning to me. and so many others who want to preserve the secular and

democratic nature of the city and state. so i think that it's, uh, it's something that's quite shocking, but the rapid way in which the western media and western countries have gone about this only reveals the fact that they were actually supporting these forces from the beginning. and we know that to be the case, instead of saying that this is the 1st time in history, that okay, that has taken over a country and is now in the leadership of a government. they are simply trying to say that these are freedom fighters, moderate rebel as a reformed rebels. they changed their opinions. i don't think you can go from shopping heads up to being the all peace and love. we did a span of a few years to the serious future, still on the rocks, millions of refugees who fled the country, a mid major term mile and 2011 are now being asked to or term despite the ongoing k i some you politicians are urging syrians to leave with 95000 refugees living in

austria alone. the countries chancellor has gone so far as to back the request with a financial incentive. austria will support syrian school wish to return to their home country with a return bonus of a 1000 euro. the country now needs at citizens in order to be rebuilt. ongoing asylum procedures for syrian citizens in austria will continue to be suspended with similar calls are also coming from neighboring germany, which host the biggest syrian dias for a in europe number and nearly 1000000. several european countries have already halted new asylum applications from the country, but the serial nationals we spoke to se returning is not an option to shop. it isn't in not just investment. i read in the news that politicians are calling for 1000 euro is to be given to syrians so that they have to or want to go back, which shocked me. i think that's a terrible idea. i spent, the situation in syria is just as dangerous as it was before. right now,

it is not possible to go to syria. the big problem is that when people go to see me and now it is no good. i, there are still danger the. see, we're in need some other 2 to 3 years for freeze and for people to it's a new policy most the much we did not know what the new policy will be right now. the latest round of escalations and syria force even more people to flee the country you an estimate. so over a 1000000 people were displaced them at the terminal and the syrians hesitate to return the leader of the terrier. all shaw militant group is calling on his compatriots to help the country turn a new page. like i don't have to deal with a dime and the people who have emigrated to the website asylums who have been displaced on that the, they must return, then of all these people must return. so that hand in hand, we can build the next syria. we saved syria and the entire region from a great strategic danger. on this one, we discussed the situation with the head of this to bar of institute in austria, alexander markovich. he says the calls are absurd as serious face is more

instability than ever. western governments and save on stimulus are actually um, depending on mos migration. and this presupposes the destruction of countries outside of the west in order to gain rescue, cheapest cheap labor force. so um, what they are doing now is um just type of proceed is also somehow upsets if your calling in the 1st place for if you choose to come to you when there are countries to stabilize, then structed. and then suddenly, when a new um around the floor starts in syria, which is actually happening right now, which you could see in the fights between diaz sense the syrian defense forces indeed stuff the country. but also now in the recent research and suffices in the east of the country. of course you can talk about peace in syria since of course

syria is now um, a more od destabilized than ever. a 9 year old child has been killed by an armed ukrainian drone in the russian belgrade region, according to the local governor, the u. a be struck the building that houses the child's family and also injured the mother and the 7 month old infant ukrainian drones at several settlements in the region. simultaneously damaging and apartment building. no victims have been reported. the russian defense ministry has confirmed the downing to more ukrainian drones above the belgrade and cursed regions. turning now to georgia where protesters have gathered in front of the parliament as it selects the country's next president, head of the vote. the secretary general of georgia's ruling party, who is also the mayor of tbilisi bloss to the current leaders alone, major rubbish, really. according to him, the position serves western interest. that's as she has refused to step down. if

a new president is chosen or will got serious while i'm not sure whether to cool the presidential election of publication or a party, perhaps more of a party as this will be an event entirely devoid of legitimacy. it will be unconstitutional and legitimate. i'm not going anywhere. i'm not going to leave anyone. i'm always asked about it. i will stay here. i have never spoken about this, and now i will allow myself to apologize to the population. it was precisely through the efforts of the georgia dream party, this woman ended up where she is. she served and continues to serve not georgia, but foreign forces with hatred and greed to a meanwhile, a foreign policy chief kaya calice was planning to ask member states for a mandate to impose sanctions against georgia and government officials. while the european union himself postponed george's block integration until 2028, the proposed sanctions are being justified as

a counter measure to to police these suppression of violent pro e u protests or r t correspondence. charlotte davinsky has been covering the violent protests for weeks. she shows us just how much of a hand the you really has in the unrest. as george's presidential election has kicked off the country's national security service has one of the potential for move islands to erupt on the streets. and it says it's uncovered. a criminal plot not only to disrupt that, but taking place, but also to create an alter official crisis. criminal organizers will try to increase the protests direction to encourage radical attitudes, which according to them, should turn into uncontrolled processes and to accuse the government in an indirect way. the implementation of the above mentioned processes is insured by local actors with the coordination of foreign special services process escalated at the end of

this end. but also the movie house is built in for you said it was switching to join until 2028. that led to the current prices in choose know to not policy, saying she won't acknowledge the upcoming election on saturday unless it was the something down. george's pm says she'll have to, as i understand miss or a bitch of the least emotional state. but on december 29th, she will indeed have to leave the residence in hand over the building to the legally elected president, both sides suggesting that they was fudge. and, oh, is this a big problem? well, it says scandal. most of the,

the, you already said it back to just current residents and some problem entry members from the country to provide support for testers to his pm. this suggested this is a little a bit like your mood and he's on to something. when one is reminded of my don in the context of georgia, we must ask who took responsibility for the consequences of my don and ukraine and who will be responsible for the same processes in georgia. we will do everything to prevent and may don and ukraine ization in georgia that to paul's prime minister a whole. but he's a says he's determined, georgia will not follow, which is why the change in dream policies presidential nominees stands out. what's

our trend assumption, the product, unfortunately for us, the incumbent president has ignored all main document the constitution of georgia and continues to violate it today. now, society is divided radicalization and polarization of being stood up and down, which is helping to further intensify this process. so i will do everything to unite georgian society around the idea of national interests, identity and independence of the country. if you want a life where we are guided by someone, i'm going to have a europe tells us, is supposedly fair and true. i don't want such a europe and such citizens who blindly trust everything. this is not europe. if a member of parliament elected by the majority initiates a bill, this is legal and whoever opposes baseline doesn't stigmatize is me. when the european union, an impasse that has come out, this is interference in my rights and in the internal affairs of my country. cover last release policy was the initial instigator of the for an agent smooth. it's fox

to seem to be c in brussels. this presidential election will be 1st in georgia, instead of a vote by universe. the suffrage for college of $300.00 people will decide to take so that the roles won't cover the wash really has to receive 2 thirds of the vote. so many counsel his appointment is seen as a done deal. that's because no or need just georgia dream, whole 18 knowing if those votes through it selected in p's. it also one launch in many of the countries municipalities, which holds more than a 100 votes. and it's expected that the representative soon, the 2 or 20 most republics will also give that backing with a new president for too much shooting. the only question left is what this will means that those who see what they've pro european dreams have been left in taxes. will georgia c a repeat to view cranes might in with the backing of the you or will the ruling khaki be able to keep a little things and retain,

hold on to george's so for and t only time will tell show like even sky into play. see, for all to as and as the presidential election in georgia has wrapped up the countries essential election commission is beginning. the process of counting votes to stay with us here in our to international will bring you those details after the final results. but turning it now to south korea, where the parliament has given president, used to deal a thumbs down with 204 members voting for impeachment and 85 against. and the 2nd effort to remove him una imposed a martial law for a few hours earlier in december, claiming he needed to prevent the collapse of democracy. the south koreans took to the streets and protest of all parliament voted to block the order. now the impeachment documents must be delivered to you and the constitutional court spelling the end of his presidential powers and duties,

was the $180.00 day grace period to determine whether to dismiss the president or restore his powers. one is to go with the us state department is facing the shut down of a unit, which has the state admission of comm. batting alleged this information that's after republican members of congress refused to keep funding an agency that's been critical of many conservatives. the so called global engagement center has been targeted by a lawsuit for media outlets that say the unit for american tech companies to down rank their reports 1000000000, our business man and to trump ally eli mosque has also accused the center of censorship and media manipulation, incumbent in democrats, however, are pushing to allocate another $100000000.00 to the department before republicans take power. next month of the outgoing administration has invested heavily and so called and team is information campaigns reportedly spending a total of $267000000.00 taxpayer dollars. in contrast,

the 1st to trump presidency allocated a fraction of that to the gec, approximately 40 times less conservative daily podcast host, jo altman says biden's, overall expenditures defense or opposing voices are even greater. but i don't believe that this information is the problem. it's the information that they're centering, that is, they're stating is this information that it's about the 260000000 or 270000000 adults is a small piece of what they've actually spend. if you look at the budgets for the epi, i, and some of the other intelligence agencies, then also we're putting pressure on media advertisers and big tech companies in order to take away the ability for people to speak. their mind goes. it's an identical to our 1st amendment, but more importantly, it looks at what the narrative is and what this propaganda is done in order to hurt the country and divide our nation over the last 4 years. i think more of the problems with the g. c, being disbanded isn't, they're not taking those employees and firing them, they're just going to reallocate them to other parts of the government. so we're,

we're looking at some pretty serious issues. the president trump comes in, even if they're able to shut this down. what can we expect to happen in the future with these employees affecting these other parts of the, of the government structured? well, that is going to do for me for now, but just stay with us. my colleague union o'neill will be in next in just over half an hour right here on our, to international with more news by the the, the

russian states never is as tight as i'm one of the most sense community best most i'll send send up the same assistance to far must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media mission, the state on the russians today, and split the ortiz full neck, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services for what question did you say it would twist, which is the during world war 2, the germans with the help of the show,

the creation revolutionary movement that the independent state of croatia transported hundreds of people have no way to work in force, labor camps. the germans wanted the work force to build roads and the infrastructure in norway. so when they couldn't get enough prisoners from serbia, they contacted through social and the install of these camps to you had the death rate up to 82 percent each which is actually higher done in the old suite. among the, with dozens of children boys did the george a boy, but not the video logo, not to coast to the woods type, the owner's school. that'd be good to. this is such a good, especially since they had the horrible conditions except from the t lease. many people died from surveys, hunger as diseases, very, as you made it back home was the some of it drove the back to logic,

drove the nickel 9 mozy. but the deal and the process of this is the goal 0. the the the issue is nancy and welcome back to doing and design group costing me around the world. for me, you a, i'll tie the is back and this time with a country aided by nato as strikes caesar, sanctions in the us occupation, vital energy and food regions,

bus or our last side. so that'd be agents. if you have damascus for asylum in moscow, even nato subsidized zalinski sent soldiers to help out category need live. this week, the texas flag is loaded over the city valley and the level of the one is invaded in the north, killing. c, i a back to goods nature. while these wireless carpet bones, syria and invaded from the south and the strong supply line for palestine by 11 in nature, propaganda, media, or of to fix chemical attacks is anxious to be trying to rehabilitate a move of how many l. gilani was his real name. as the president of syria, the terrorist with the attorney blinking $10000000.00 balance, he on his head is already done that need to be addressed like ukraine dictates as a landscape. the cnn, an ice is now kind of leader. he was tortured to abu ghraib by the us facilitating american soldiers in iraq, as he is genocide continues in palestine. netanyahu times israel secured the black flags, devices flying over them. i had lost in damascus. in chicago is professor john measure. i'm a co author of these around lobby and u. s. foreign policy and how states think.
