let's go to general license from the us treasury. uh, the service department is step said that all of the sanctions were no longer setting that purpose drug should be lifted, but he said this was a new positive step. but again, making it clear that the bolts of the all of these functions should be lifted as soon as possible. yeah, thanks very much for sending that up for us that james base our diplomatic editor in damascus. well, let's go back to robot guys, pin folders electro in international security at kings college london. so we ought to talk about the interview schultz, alex of so we have to questions about life event, which you've also been listening to so much to and take care of everything from buddhist ability to diversity in unity. um they talks about political identity. it is james base have mentioned the real problem that has been a source of tension between both neighboring countries in the past, which is we'll discuss and see what is it that really stood out for you when it comes to summing up what the outcome has been

what's called a general license issued by the us treasury to cover the next 6 months. it will include all sorts of things are useful for humanitarian purposes until i'm told as well it would include some energy transfers, but nothing. of course, that could be used for military or intelligence purposes. now what will be interesting is to see whether this is adopted wida by all the important players. tony blinking, the us secretary of state, had a phone call in recent hours with the saudi foreign minister. remember the delegation from here and damascus. the high level delegation has been touring. the gulf countries has been in saudi cattle and the united states are about merits. in recent days, mr. blinking who is on a tool and these in asia will be getting towards the end to that to, to join president by me who will be having it. one of his last trips is present actually now ahead of the present bite. and basically that trip is gonna be meeting with is your pin counterparts key, you are paying for ministers. and the subject on the table is how to help the new syria and h

my that the, the i'm how much enjoyed me into a how these are the top stories on al jazeera for us treasury has an hours using of some sanctions on syria for 6 months. the temporary reprieve will focus on the delivery of humanitarian aid at a central services such as electricity, energy, and water. but the sanctions on syria will remain in place including restrictions on the new administration, financial transfers and the central bank serious trade administer. it might have had either has and says food and fuel are running out. he's warranted the country only.

on the 30th of december 2020 for us treasury secretary jen. it's getting said us authorities of transferring $3400000000.00 to ukraine. she explained that this is the last payment for key to from the funds allocated by congress in 2024 from no one's in s. t must negotiate any new subsidies or assisted is within you whitehouse administration. now all along the campaign trail, trump have made a promise to and so you create in conflict in 24 hours. now as president select these flows into the idea to freeze the conflicts at the moment. it's all talks, but when he thinks office of january 20th, he'll have to find the articulate his plan. keep in mind rushes condition. the principle is, uh no, nothing deluxe staples. so feel free and we would be ready to be part of the group of countries who would provide collective security together into so no, no, no, no, they don't absolutely know me. the 3 bases. no mean to 30 me the 3 of.

on the 30th of december 2020 for us treasury secretary jet it together and said us authorities are transferring $3400000000.00 to ukraine. she explained that this is the last payment for key to from the funds allocated by congress in 2024. from now on that as key must negotiate any new subsidies or assisted is within you whitehouse administration. now, all along the campaign trail, trump, i made a promise to and that you create in conflict in 24 hours. now, as the president select these floating, the idea to freeze the conflicts at the moment, it's all, it's all complex. when he takes off this of january 20th, she'll have to find the articulation plan. keep in mind rushes conditions. the principal is uh no, none of the deluxe staples. so feel free. and we will be ready to be part of the group of countries who would provides collective security guarantees. so, no, no, no, no, they don't absolutely know me that 3 basis, no mean a 30 minute 3 exercises on the granules. so it will be as participation of 4 in foreign troops and people here in boston all across russia. whole, that's 2025, will find t

the law firm gibson done in the culture and has also served as a sanctions official in the us treasury. he says, imposing sanctions on the russian energy produces this new charge treat for the us government until fairly recently, energy has been a 3rd rail. the us has been unwilling to really go after energy for fear of price hikes for gas, for gas users in the us and europe, especially in the winter. and so the idea of going after energy i in a very direct way here, which they started the little bit of november going up the gas problem bank. and now actually going after actual energy producers is a very big, big new. and this could give rise to significant pain, a buy president put in if it's enforced as robustly as it could be. and so i do think that's really a question now of enforcement and whether or not the g 7, not just the us, not just the but the broader g 7 is willing to not just impose these sorts of restrictions, which of course are not self executing. and then make sure the parties who nonetheless engage with parties who are listed, get in trouble for doing so. so really i
