but the governance of idlib at the time isn't the same... and then other positions like foreign ministero, by everyone's admission, including hts, this isn't up or not, and how? with the leadership of the new damascus government is one i mean, i'm sure you saw, just as i did, this way — islamist worldview, not one that reflected we get to a representative government. it as somehow, you know, shifting the whole education well, that's your view. presidents failed to do. so how can you be confident that donald trump is going to and not vladimir putin? helping save or keep assad in power or take off sanctions and for the sake of our allies. statement of president biden. the biden white house put out a statement that said, de—escalate what? the liberation of literal concentration camps where we just got rid of a horrible evil, defeated russia and iran and hezbollah and assad at the same time, continued to be very good allies and now good friends the trump administration, i would say, with very closely, that actually are, probably, you know, very good on syria. marco rubio, mike waltz, "admini

but the governance of idlib at the time isn't the same...stern democracy by any means, but as we saw hts now kind of, you know, consolidate the main positions that need to run the government, both in terms of technocratic government, a prime minister and a minister of energy, ministry of health, etc, for services and governance to take place, and then other positions like foreign minister and others. number one, we haven't had elections yet, so, by everyone�*s admission, including hts, this isn't a government that has been chosen by the people, but one of the reasons that you saw the placements of people that they trusted in these locations, it's because there's a lot of fear, a lot of fear of a counter—revolution, of a potential military council that come in, this and that. but what's really important is, are they opening up or not, and how? and what we have seen is an incredible effort, city by city, village by village, to talk to religious leaders of the catholic, eastern orthodox, and kurdish, and shi'ite, and alawite communities, engage

but the attack in idlib remains the most deadly. knows how long this relative peace will last. bbc news, southern lebanon. well, nawalal—maghafi joins me now. tell me a bit more about this investigation. why did you focus on that building? the un said that air— focus on that building? the un said that air strikes _ focus on that building? the un said that air strikes carried - said that air strikes carried out in lebanon had failed the test of proportionality and precaution. so we wanted to take a closer look at what that actually means. we focus on this building, it is a quiet, residential neighbourhood, mainly christian. and we heard that 73 people had been killed in this one attack. the idf said it was a command centre, they also said they were targeting the head of the hezbollah compound. we set out to figure out who exactly was in the building at the time. what their backgrounds were, did they in fact have any evaluation to hezbollah. we ended up finding that 63 of the people in that building where civilians, 23 of them were ch

i would say a couple of things. of time, if you compare it to economically, but the governance of idlibou know, it wasn't perfect, it wasn't a western democracy by any means, but as we saw hts now kind of, you know, but one of the reasons that you saw the placements of people that they trusted in these locations, it's because there's a lot of fear, a lot of fear of a counter—revolution, of a potential military up or not, and how? and what we have seen is an incredible effort, city by city, village by village, to talk and kurdish, and shi'ite, and alawite communities, they were kids as they were bombed out by iran with the leadership of the new damascus government ethnic, religious sect, minority at all. everyone�*s part of a national conversation... well, you're clearly an optimist. changes in syrian textbooks which really pointed islamist worldview, not one that reflected the when i looked back through... and is being responsive to what the syrian people are demanding until we get to a representative government. but it was mostly taking out the indoctrination of, "assad is the dear lea

hts, or hayat tahrir al—sham, are one of the biggest islamist rebel groups that was in control of idlibbut, you know, they've distanced themselves from al-qaeda. all chant in arabic and they say that, you know, they are taking a completely different agenda today. they are the ones who led this operation, toppling the assad regime, along with otherfighter groups. our middle east correspondent, lina sinjab, is in the syrian capital, damascus. and you can see, in the distance, the rebels are stretched at the bank trying to protect it. we've seen them in other locations, too... but they are the biggest force now, they are in charge. they have appointed an interim government. from the first few days, although many people have concerns over an islamist group ruling the country, but i have to say also, after 5a years of assad, people are also saying that there won't be any other tyranny again — we will speak out. ululating, horns honk but what you can see at the moment, whether from syrians or whether from the rebel groups who are leading, everyone is focused on what's going to happen inside.

charge of syria, as i said, who danced on the streets to celebrate the 9/11 attack, who ruled over idlibmist governance, and has already begun to persecute and kill and arrest religious minorities like christians in syria. why that should be acceptable to anyone is beyond me. sen. kelly: it shouldn't be. i appreciate your answer. my concern has to do with the tendency to repeat russian and syrian and even in some cases i think we will get into in the closed session iranian information and to discount what comes from our intelligence community. ms. gabbard: every american deserves to know that people in our own government were providing support to our sworn enemy al qaeda. that should not be acceptable by anyone. chair cotton: in conclusion, senator warner. sen. warner: one of the things i love about this committee and i know folks and of -- this is always been a bipartisan committee. my friend richard burr who said we always kinda follow the truth. one of the things i was proud of , people would come in, they did not know whether the staffer was a democrat or republican. we were all look
