uh, they, there been many reports that day at least green lights. the operation by h t s, although there haven't been formal confirmation of that. and i think what you've seen in the past, you know, day or so since damascus fell to the opposition. as you've seen, you know, thousands of syrians who been displaced in turkey attempting to return to their homes. and that's a key point sort of taking the reason that these people sled away, which was a side they can enable a real goal of turkey, which was to find a permanence more sustainable area where the millions of syrians and their country could go back peacefully. and with dignity to their homes. and i think there's still a lot to be determined on how the s d f coordinates with this new syrian government in damascus. and certainly turkey will want to avoid any type of scenario that creates an autonomous kurdish or even independent curtis state on their border. andrew, thank you very much for now. that was andrew sinclair, senior advisor with the texas consulting group in washington dc. thank you. sketchup on a few other s

t. s. they've long been designated a terrorist organization by the u. n. on the us, they've also been accused of human rights abuses and areas they control, including executions, the persecution of religious minorities and women. although more recently, the claims have disavowed terrorism and are trying to present a more motivate to face. my colleague gusio on us grew up in alaska and has reported extensively for us on the syrian crisis. garcia, thanks so much for coming into the studio. can you explain the significance of the rebels moves now towards hum. it has a major strategic significance for serious government and the armed rebels that are making their way there know this, that's why they're heading there. and the reason that they could capture aleppo within days was because there were a lot of withdrawals of regime fighters. so government forces from a level as they made their way through with a surprise offensive. and a lot of those troops are set to now being hama, trying to defend the city for the government. and uh, the reason for this is that h

t s. have long been designated to terrorist organization by the un and the us. various arms groups have joined them, including fighters, backed by turkey. as they advanced to the south. their next goal is to seize the city of homes, giving them control of the strategic highway linking damascus to the syrian coast well on. and if you don't have it these, yeah, we're heading to home a city, and after that i'm willing to home and then to damascus. and the rest of syria will be liberated. nfl has always done some residents of damascus have already started to waive their options. they say they will stay, no matter what, what's the issue with living in our homeland, our land, our country. we won't leave, that's all true on the side of the government has vowed to fight back aided by russia and run back militias who have been preoccupied with their own conflicts. the un says tens of thousands have been displaced since the latest defensive began by highlighting the bodies the reset of this collision, of course, really just has cause many civilian casualties. displays tens of thousands of people are in

t. s. they've long been designated a terrorist organization by the u. n. on the us, they've also been accused of human rights abuses and areas they control, including executions, the persecution of religious minorities and women. are they more recently the claims have disavowed terrorism and are trying to present a more moderate face. and all the key players is to key. now we can't say for sure how involved it is in this latest rebel operation to take a left though. but as that, our stuff of house from the home, like both sundays, some think tank, explains what is happening is in took his interests. turkey has for a long time tried to normalize supplemented relations with the federal team, which did not work out um, because of, uh, a subs positioning. um, so there is of course, an interest to raise their own on the go negotiation capacity. with this operation at the same time, there's a strong push within turkey to the put the syrian refugee population from turkey back to syria. um, so for that um, more triggers affiliated uh, controlled areas in the north

we've been in contact with h t s and the other parties we have impressed upon everyone we've been in contact with washington. it makes talking to the highest to read all sean terrorist script, which now controls the landscape. and what's the media? try to portray the i h t s chief as a revolutionary revel, plus for the landscape that's talks with hungary lead to off. the key has been nice receiving a christmas c spot off the phone, big to open to boot defense phase has also been which access the hello and welcome. this is the weekly on, on the international with the latest news updates along with a round up of the stories that shapes the week. it's good to have you with us. so we as a software and future hangs in the balance of the terrorist groups, took control of damascus one week ago. various splits in groups, not control the countries fraction territory. so let's take a closer look at the different functions vying of full power. now these yellow areas in the know of the held by the us box, s b s, which is links to a code. this insurgency group in the east that says rival to respon

said, it's gonna be very challenging, but i think one of the things that's encouraging is that h t s has been kind of saying most of the right things right for these over these past few days they've, they've been saying that they want or kind of democratic turn that they want to give voice to syrians. they want to respect diversity. they've been telling us serious minorities that they do not want them to leave syria, that they want them to be a part of the, the new syria that diversity is syria's strength. so these statements are any indication and if the, if the proof is in the proverbial putting and that's what we end up seeing then i think um syria can overcome some of these some of these challenges. but if he decides to sort of consolidate power, then i think we could be in for a lot of instability and inviting me. we've seen things relatively stable over the 1st few days. what needs to happen over the next week to to ensure that that continues. i think that, you know, we need to start, i think the syrians are going to be looking to hear more specific plans are kind of a program. right. w

*m just still trying to process what we have been through, and of course we will not agree for any similar conditions to be similar. we don�*t know yet. it�*sble political solution for syria, that�*s for sure. solution for syria, that's for sure. �* ., ., , .,, solution for syria, that's for sure. �* ., ., , sure. but one wonders as people who were at _ sure. but one wonders as people who were at one _ sure. but one wonders as people who were at one stays _ sure. but one wonders as peoplej who were at one stays connected to al-qaeda, whether hayat tahrir al—sham came a portable i met with to control what women wear in terms of a religious melody and so on, because we remember the iranian revolution, also the promises were made women at the beginning of that, but then of course a very draconian moral code was brought in and the religious police and so on. yeah, of course we realise that, we understand that, we know that. we are not going back. hayat tahrir al—sham does not represent all syrians. it represents mainly a part of syria now, their mentality, with a think, that does not include all syrians. and what we want is a system that includ
