leila: human beings treated like waste.nds of inmates cramped in these walls, prisoners say there were daily executions, sometimes just to make space. in the bowels of the complex, more horrors await. many who were kept down here did not see daylight for years. prisoners say this hole was the daily humiliation. guards filled it with urine and and feces and would force them into it. on the walls the fevered scratchings of those who tried to keep a sense of time and life outside. for years we have searched for evidence of what exactly was happening in this place they call the human slaughterhouse based on snippets of information that came from the few people who managed to make it out alive. it is utterly haunting now to walk these halls and know that these tiny cells are where so many thousands of human beings endured unimaginable suffering. the minds of the thousands who survived these torture chambers remain haunted. >> the assad regime considered us terrorists. if you were married they would bring your wife and beat her a

leila molana allen reports from the drug factories in syria. leila: damascus.er of bashar al-assad's web of control. his regime's carefully guarded secrets are being unlocked. we are driving into the mountains on the outskirts of damascus. rebel fighters discovered this. as we pull up outside the unremarkable warehouse you would never know it is the lifeblood of an organized crime network. the only sign of anything amiss are the rebel fighters stationed outside. and empty bullet casing scattered across the parking lot. a fighter leads us into the darkness. a calvinist basement of a former food factory. we walked inside, suddenly, pallets full of -- packed and ready to smuggle. that is a pill. those two little semi circles. this former corn ship market was repurposed after the owner fled five years ago. now in place of corn and flavorings, bags of chemical stacked along the walls. this is the room where they made the pills. it seems hastily abandoned because some of this liquid from the mixture of chemicals was still drying. you come over here. this is a pallet

leila, thank you. his first news conference since winning the 2024 election, president-elect donald trump spoke about a number of his policy priorities and answered questions on a wide range of issues. geoff: despite the potential u.s. ban of tiktok next month, mr. trump said he had what he called a warm spot in his heart for the popular social media app. that's after winning a larger share of gen z voters than he expected in this year's election. and that's as the chinese-owned app asked the supreme court today to block that law that could result in a u.s. ban. amna: when it came to foreign policy, mr. trump declined to say whether he'd spoken with russian president vladimir putin since the election. but he did reiterate his goal to end the war in ukraine as quickly as possible, adding that ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy should be prepared to make a deal. geoff: and he criticized the biden administration's recent decision to allow ukraine to fire u.s.supplied long-range missiles into russia.

leila: i have, john. in the last few days, i have followed the path backwards that the rebel groups followed through syria. i started in damascus and moved up into the second biggest city in the country, aleppo. today up into what were the rebel held areas in the northwest, but much of the country is now rebel held so they can't be called that anymore. one of the strangest things is it doesn't feel strange. if you didn't know that just over a week ago there would be checkpoints everywhere along these roads, most people could not move freely, would be asked for id, harassed, often detained for trying to cross into different areas. people in regime held syria and the northwest had different id cards, different cellular networks, everything divided. suddenly these roads are open, so movement is the first thing functioning very well. beyond that, services are struggling. syria has already been struggling for years with issues like connectivity, getting enough diesel and petrol. there is very little petrol. pe

leila: it is like night and day.not tell you what it is like to walk the streets and have people freely running up to you saying take my picture. let me tell you what i think. previously working here was always about fear, secrecy, constantly looking over your shoulder for the secret police, terrified about keeping your contacts safe, the people brave enough to speak out. most people did not. the mood is so different. people are keen to share their views. some people who said they supported the assad regime clearly did not. a number of people on the streets telling stories of the horrific experiences they endured not just during bashar al-assad's regime but his father's, as well. the streets were full of people in damascus holding their children in the air, celebrating. holding the revolutionary syrian flag, saying syria is for everyone, this country is free. we are seeing movements toward trying to reintegrate this country that has been so split. the issue is syria is diverse. assad made it sectarian because he told

and that is a long time, leila. what advice would you give to people watching us today? do you have one piece of advice that you feel was handed to you and it really worked well or something that you learned along the way? yeah my, what i always go to is tracking, i think tracking is very important. there may be some a select few who don't need to track. there's funding, but i work with a lot of people and talk even just with peers who are like, oh, i think i spend, you know, 400 on food out or groceries, whatever it is that they could be spending on. but then when they look at their actual spending numbers, it is double that are sometimes triple that. so if you're not paying attention to where your money is going, it's very easy to lose control. so i know for me it's worked well budgeting, but also tracking is very, very important. i know it is, but as for me, the hardest thing to do. i hate tracking. i hate knowing how much i spend on things, michael. final word from you. what is the most precious lesson you've learned in this journey that you'd like to share with us t
