extremist people but the israel didn't help them that's a myth second of all you know i miss the bashar al assad for years he was a transit point for jihad these were going to iraq to fight american forces he was a big pile of those jihad these and now he's trying to portray himself as somebody who is fighting terrorism and all of the respect that he's not trying to portray anything that country is facing it was facing a major terrorist onslaught and it's well documented for you to minimize minimize the input of the saudis the americans and i'm sorry to say these release is i think a little bit analytically unfair if i can put it mildly i think it's very sincere to say that bashar assad has killed more civilians in this region than any other or any other leader in the past two decades you seem more than people who led the. campaign against moammar gadhafi in libya you really think that the syrian the war trumps everything else that has happened in that region including the pad the palestinian issue as well i'm not trying to minimize it but the fact remains that in terms of the leader ki

friday marks the eighth anniversary of the syrian uprising against president bashar al assad at least three hundred seventy thousand people have been killed in the conflict so far. in march twenty seventh as series of protests started in several cities the mass outrage was over the torturing of fifteen schoolchildren who wrote antigovernment graffiti in their are by two thousand and twelve armed officers groups began seizing control of parts of their eastern aleppo and homes the syrian kurds had also begun to effectively control kurdish dominated areas after the withdrawal of government troops then in june twenty fourth teen abu bakar of bugs that he announced the coalition of so-called eisel callus it and within a year i saw fighters had captured large parts of syria in september twenty fifth dina russia sent warplanes to enter the conflict tipping the balance of power towards a regime government forces regained control of rebel held areas such as eastern aleppo that i and all and that brings us to twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen where we saw the final push against iso by u.s. l

bashar has presided over economic turmoil and or rattic protests. of course, were heightened when the oil-rich soil succeeded in 2011 cutting off much of sudan's revenue. despite it, bashar held on to power winning election after election. most of which, of course, are rigged. with the most recent state of emergency, the 75-year-old leader has paused his efforts to run again in a 2020 election. now some demanding freedom called to mind the arab spring. that memory might be why the government responded so quickly with tear gas and live ammunition. thank you to all of you for being part of my program this week. i'll see you next week. >>> aye brian stelter. time for "reliable sources." a look at the story behind the story. how the news gets made, and how all of us can help make it better. a lot ahead this hour. looking a the post mueller media landscape. right wing outlets are warning and the border. left wing outlets are worried about health care. we'll talk about that coming up. >>> plus, a fresh face on the campaign trail with mayor pete

i came out here to help the innocent people there were being massacred by the bashar regime i'm an aid worker. the stories come to light following the lifting of the man's anonymity in a case that saw the u.k. government stripped him of his british citizenship back in twenty seventeen he was informed of the decision with this letter. it is assessed that you are a british pakistani jewel national whose travel to syria and is aligned to an al qaeda aligned group your return to the u.k. would present a risk to the national security over the united kingdom my decision has been taken in part reliance on information which in my opinion should not be made public in the interest of national security deemed a national security risk in twenty seventeen the man had been a media darling just a few years prior. series appearances on prominent news networks as well as dispatches by his live updates from syria blog posts left his political preferences no secret the reason why i came to syria is to help the syrian people who are being massacred by the bashar he rebels why did it do it the problem is i

secret the reason why i came to syria is to help the syrian people who are being massacred by the bashar he rebels why do they do it the problem is is that the broad of of of the syrian regime is a force woman and children and civilians that are facing the arrest these individuals who take it we cannot take their word that they are that over there is aid workers because we know that these aid groups are operating in opposition held territory are only operating with the kid can items and at the messy of some of the most grievous and force violent terrorist groups that was either nor so these aid workers so-called cannot exculpate themselves from the activities of these groups because in and working in these opposition held areas controlled by these groups they are giving sanction to these opposition groups and sanction to their activities surely this lawyer has been seeking evidence from the home office to find out why exactly his client was deemed a threat meanwhile the home office has had this follow up on the specifics of the case. we do not comment on individual cases but any decision

a second you're making some valuable bull points here but i want to take some of them tomorrow on bashar our senior political analyst here in the studios of that sort of scenario if the president is incapacitated the one assumes that they probably have someone else to bring him down he says assumably this should be a civilian figure although why is it it becomes a little too obvious that the military's taking over at this point in time doesn't seem to be a problem for the many three to be very obvious look i think what we think what is clear to us now is that the fact that the article one or two was invoked not article one o seven it does mean that there is the complete slide lining of the president because article one o seven that put a flicker threatened to use in the past or some people suspected he might use article one hundred seven would give him a president with a flick of the right to impose a state of emergency within the country for the sake of the country invoking one or two that definitely means the sidelining of bit of flicker in favor of the military whether the military wi

behind all that we believe because it feels that it is being neutralized it is exercising pressure on bashar assad and this waging or this recent war on live in the north would go nowhere for them at the political level and jirga figure we understand that the northeast is under the control or as the and the americans and . as such the. assad regime and its supporters can claim no victory can claim no capability of finding a real solution for this to ation in general as far for instance as the refuse are concerned or that it constructions. because the action issue is concerned they can . go nowhere either because they were conditioned by the start of a political process out of which they are trying to weasel out all the time for of the past six years we believe you know i was i was in geneva when you were at some of those talks and i saw your delegation turning up and i saw the syrian ambassador to the u.n. turning up but not really gauging on a number of different occasions why else staying in. the population of that province was seven hundred fifty thousand it was made a deescalation zone i

the syrian president is still refusing demands for change the international community wants bashar assad to engage in a credible political process that would lead to a new constitution and free elections but political reform would mean giving up power and the syrian leadership is unlikely to hand over what it didn't lose on the battlefield. for us the war has been won some countries have already started to normalize ties with his government but much of the international community hold accepted until political reforms are in place. and there remains the problem in the north of the country much of which is not controlled by the government and is being fought over by the many interested parties and the millions who live there can't and won't return to assad to syria for them the war is far from over. beirut. we can protest along the gaza israel fans have been perspire in the hours after israeli airstrikes hit the besieged strip israeli military saying some one hundred hamas targets were struck early on friday it was in response to a rare rocket attack on the israeli city of tel aviv a rocke

they feel somewhat queasy that they're on the same side as the assad regime and bashar al jaafari who when he spoke to reporters in the last couple of hours said this was a recipe for war we reaffirmed that the united states admit states administration has no right or mandate to decide the fate of the occupied. and that any tickle condition or any action that involves a violation of the syrian out of a public sovereignty over its occupied territory is in fact an act of aggression provocation and illegal act and a failure to comply with the united states' obligations as a permanent member of the security council but also as the host country of the united nations so james what can what will the u.n. security council do if anything about this issue. well not a lot i think is the answer here at the u.n. now the spokesperson for the secretary general being very careful with their words they stand by all the existing resolutions which are really clear that the goal is occupied territory for the security council itself currently on a mission in west africa so well away from here but this wil

the hama province experienced some of the largest protests against syrian president bashar al assad and some of the bloodiest crackdowns last year the syrian army's capture of soran meant it reversed most of the territorial gains i saw had made in the major offensive. so he took her children and left at the height of the fighting now she's returned owen was. there was a lot of destruction and chaos little by little we've made things better i hope to stay and watch my children grow and become successful as many of them the u.n. says those like are among around one point four million people who've returned to their homes in syria last year u.n. high commissioner for refugees filippo grandi visited to see the work being done to help them like setting up this bakery for those who make that decision and voluntarily come back here we must provide them with have at least for their basic needs and their initial right integration in their community but for those returning to their neighborhoods there's still a long journey ahead to restore the towns they are once again calling home she her food

dissolving the palestinian issue into nothing and many states have softened their position to syria's bashar assad is there a integration of syria and assad into the into that. something that could happen in the foreseeable future well certainly we had the united arab emirates opening its embassy in damascus as a way to pay for that we've had some consultations i think the egyptians the iraqis the iraqis and others perhaps the saudis want to start the process of bringing back syria to they are appalled some people thought that this would happen by the by the summit in tunis apparently not but this will continue i think the focus on the syria returning by the way also evades the question of yemen because there certainly will not be agreement in yemen where saudi arabia and the united arab emirates are leading the war there and they will not allow the summit to come up with anything you know calling for an end to the war newman these countries that make up the arab league they disagree on so many issues when you when we talk about yemen you talk about yemen of course the gulf crisis a lot of t

too early america still you know imposes sanctions with the european union and other against the bashar assad regime so there was an attempt by the egyptian soldiers and others to do to do so but that did not work out so there is a bit of a tense relations if you will on the question of the goal of jerusalem and bashar al assad but all in all an old. like the one in egypt and saudi arabia and others especially after the catastrophe that the strong fick behavior of mohammad but some on saudi arabia the human rights violations in egypt those regimes are so fragile internally that they continuously seek american support for their own survival. up to fight the has the so egypt is going to washington to get more support for his next and the following tour because he's going to be changing the constitution mohammed and so man continues to seek american support or other prompts support i must add because everyone else is against him so i think the idea of appeasing washington and appeasing israel in order to appease washington remains to be the only game in town in the end was that a pretty co

but you got heat for meeting with bashar al-assad. do you not consider him a war criminal? in the pursuit of peace and security. if we are not willing to meet with adversaries, potential adversaries in the pursuit of peace and security, the only alternative is more war. that's why it took that meeting with assad, in pursuit of peace and security. >> stephen: do you believe he gassed his own people or committed atrocities against his own people? >> yes, reports have shown that's a fact. >> stephen: so you believe in those intelligence reports. because i heard you didn't. >> no, that's not true. but that's not really the point here. we know the reports have shown chemical weapons attacks have been used by both the syrian government as well as by the terrorist groups who are fighting in syria. the real question here that is important for us the american people and our government is how destructive these regime change wars are on the people in the countries where we are supposedly trying to help them, as well as how destructive they are to us, the american people here at home b

one of the democratic presidential candidates, gabbard, who met with bashar al assad in 2017 was asked the cnn town halls if assad is a war criminal. here's what she said -- >> i think that the evidence needs to be gathered, and as i have said before, if there's is evidence that he has committed war crimes, he should be prosecuted as such. >> you're not sure now? >> everything that i have said requires that we take action based on evidence. the evidence is there, there should be accountability. >> she won't say, has not said that he committed war crimes. she won't call him a war criminal. how do you respond? >> there's a lot of evidence. there is the wounds on my body. there's a lot of -- not a lot, but there is survivors can tell you about prison. how many people are being killed? i have -- i had a vigil for my father being killed. there is a lot of evidence. a lot of videos, a lot of commentary. there's everything -- >> what happens when politicians here will not even depending on whatever they want to see with the policy in the middle east, but they will not say what is happening? w

when you look at bashar al-assad, with the iranians are doing, then when you see the fact that benjamin netanyahu has been per minister for at least ten years, he doesn't necessarily have serious opposition. it's always a tight election, of course. to think that he needs president trump's help, that is really starting to get into domestic politics in a way that i just don't think he needs. >> harris: interesting. that map was so critical. we might keep popping it up. as you see syria and what's happening over there -- and we already know that iran is on the ground over there, that russia is involved via proxy over there if not in person. >> dagen: iran enriched by the bad nuclear deal, brokered by president obama's administratio administration. do you want to talk about destabilization? we sent $1.4 billion in cash, some of it pallets of cash in the middle of the night, to a nation that was still calling "death to israel, death to the united states of america." we enriched them, we opened iran up for business, and that money was directly or indirectly funneled into the hands of hezbolla
