i mean that the rest of the universe, this is out of their life from the also coming up syria. welcome to the foreign ministers, a from some gemini, to damascus, in the highest profile visited by west and delegation, since the toppling of the asset regime. a date is set for us, president elect donald trump, to be sentenced in his hush money case. just 10 days before he's due to take office . last i'm out in fisher on capitol hill in washington. but donald trump is secure . a big stick today. even before he gets to the white house, the deal goes as most critical medical facilities are being forced to evacuate or face being bombed by israel's military. troops have surrounded the indonesian hospital where many stuff and patients have sold shelter. well, another forced order to evacuate has been given to the out out a hospital, which, according to the w. h o is the last partially operating hospital in northern garza . the health care system in northern garza has been pushed to the brink of collapse oft these radius sold on the come out add one hospital last week. the head of that hospital was among dozens of medical staff detained by the army dur

see a great university such as damascus university struggling to provide heating to uh to its uh, exam halls, or uh, medical equipment for its students. the ability to, to study as many of the doctors of i've been, uh, now in germany, in the us and many european countries, sweden and so forth, are one of the brightest doctors in those countries. and yet they come back and they want to give those same syrian doctors want to give back to syria. but then there are the obstacles. are those sanctions imposed on medical equipment? and sometimes not only the equipment, it could be exempt, but then the software and the maintenance and, and the electricity that supports to it. you know it's, it's all links to each other. and so when we, when we start from a human subject approach, another problem of course, is the over compliance of sections. and that's why we need the full exemption for all of those uh, essential services, electricity, health, education and the food livelihood. and then to allow syrians into that aspect to invest in producing sector series was a producing economy, was a self sufficient. and i think there's a great chance without international supports. syrians

j space out as era, damascus, one is and i'll speak to sometimes barrow cats about this is professor of public policy at home and being highly for university and joins us here in the studio. good to have you with us again. so kind as we hear from james saying his report, serious so facing a lot of challenges a month on from this new administration taking place and, and we seen a flurry of wisdom to film this year for us. what do you think syria needs the most right now most urgently from these, you know, western countries and you know, the international community as a whole? well, i think they need a good level of engagement that leads to an under comment understanding between the 2 sides. it is a queue that everyone is happy to see a side gun. now we need to work together the international community, the syrians that have neighbors to ensure that whatever the, the shutter i brought to the table can now take root and develop the logic the, the issue, i think the problem is with the west is that they've, them they've got a set of objectives that they cannot really, didn't really undermine by what was going on in gaza. so they're not taking

of that in damascus. let's bring in something bought a car, now it's professor of public policy and how much is really for university of wilton . welcome sultan. so that a national dialogue conference to come. but right now, let's focus on at the this trip to saudi. an important 1st drip for the certain, for a ministry that bore abroad, how significant is it that this trip is being made specifically to saudi arabia? a while i think it's important to both from a city and perspective, but also the way the world sees syria today. and back in 2014, as you know, the united nations security comes, have passed on resolution to 254, which effect listed the group as a terrorist organization. and it's me that has already been listed as a terrorist, as an individual at the or i, the year before that 2013 at di listing groups is a better complicated process. listing them is relatively easy, but to take them off. now they need the security council to agree and that obviously on, on the listing them and that to me is the to russia is still important for syria in order to get that vote. now the saudi arabia will give the original

damascus low. so in the syrian capital, it is correspondent russell said russell. we've seen some aspects of normal life or time pretty quickly. so schools, universities, if we open some international flights of attending among, from the how fragile does this new reality and see, we are a few to many syrians. well, so relatively the teams have good back to norma says, so could you please order was restored so quickly after the full of every gene that lasted more than half a century and a good a over the country was quite a small little bit of a corner of seemed a provence northwest and province of the syria. and it was quite unexpected that disease will collapse in 11 days. so that will not preparations in place. however, that happened. and now the whole comp hold celia is in the hands of a physician and they need to take care of it between major or minor from the market economy policies to the society. so 2 sides to say to the constitution, better to mend. this demand is challenges the sides of the bank is that the money? so the company much of the company is destroyed. society is broken, the nation is standards. and so no, it needs to find solution

damascus since they asked the vision was toppled last month. from all of this that speak to us, we'll talk about a con professor of public policy. it hasn't been felicia university joins us here now in the studio. good to have you with us. so he's seen quite some intensification of, of contacts between different countries and serious new leader. what does that tell us about how that transition is being viewed regionally? well, i think there is overall a positive 5 about it. and keep in mind what to abide by due suggest the death, which was very interesting. when he announced us he's finding garza, he counted the transition in syria as part of his legacy. 50 is. this is one of the successful things that he has managed to achieve. over the last 6 weeks, 6 months, sorry. so overall i think it is a positive look. that's a very cautious one. the concern remained that whether the incoming authority would want to have the governance solely limited to that group, or would they be able to share power? and we can talk about that data because i think the pros and cons for either and then whether there are going to attempt to exports. but it's kind of outside the boundaries

damascus. what it was, so in the city and the capital is like correspondent russell such as the rest. so we've seen schools, universities reopened some international fights, returning a release of the christian minorities were able to celebrate christmas with no restrictions, but i'm on the phone. how decisions feel about the strengths and the fragility of a country that is definitely trying to get back on his feet. indeed, so this was quite unexpected for menu of the syrians. so every team or 50 full years have just collapsed quite unexpectedly. i'm quite fast. within just 11 days, the physician was not the place that was really, really ready to take over the comforts about that happened. and now the state institutions are still not fully or racial. on one hand, the priority for the living space is definitely to preserve this the that for that, this is because of the economy that is destroyed by the 13 years of age who's on the civil war. and of course, the got the international commission. but why that's happening also to preserve the better that it can society balance as well here, because that's what use of the civil war have left most of most of moons. and now imagine that
