'd and then staged certain population going up on the roof to watch the bombs fall and most of all the exciting. truth had been sunk in the country was mortal danger. alongside the heavy aerial strikes israel would launch its ground offensive. to arm the divisions would attack across the $967.00 cease fire line known as the popular line along the damascus road towards the syrian capital 60 kilometers to the east. at 1st light on 11th of october the assault began. despite fierce syrian resis

egypt and syria launch an all out war against israel. the target liberating the sinai peninsula and the golan heights territories occupied by israel 6 years earlier in the 6 day war. israel is completely unprepared its regular army outnumbered its reservists not at present on either front. so the question is how did israel which scored such a spectacular victory just 6 years before the 6 day war permitted so to get into this situation was asked. if such a war was because of the spectacular venture of. israel could have or. that lightning victory brought with it an illusion of invulnerability. israel seemed secure behind a protective military cuts and. and despite intelligence warnings during september 973 of an upcoming arab attack the head of amman israel's military intelligence general. iraq was convinced there was nothing to worry about. saddam's close relationship with the soviets guaranteed a supply of military hardware. at the israelis knew he had been able to obtain the latest generation of attack weapons. without than israel's mi

the military structures of syria and the party or political structures of syria at the top level and the government level. records and files of the syrian regime cleaned examined and archived especially for the investigating authorities and courts in europe. wiley and other investigators are financially supported by european governments when the war in yugoslavia ended in the 9. the international tribunal was missing many important files to prevent this from happening again the commission secured smuggled over 800000 documents out of the case of the syrian civil war. is convinced that it will be enough to prove the syrian leadership's responsibility for human rights abuses. as this fatwa mountain living in exile in berlin i don't. understand if i could end up as a no no and i think justice will take its course and she did and i'm happy when i see that those people should the prisoners and i know what that's night i've had that experience myself so they're full psyche very happy if those responsible for target shooting men and women are punished to get passed out we're caught up in ma

balance to what russia was doing and i ran and what asad is doing in syria. i think what we need to do is work with the international community to go back with iran and russia for the influence that they are doing in the middle east and what our policy is is really not clear at this point because the president has flip-flopped on what were going to be doing their. >> thank you, you've been critical of the number of troops in that region but considering the difficult nature of the war on terror, would withdrawing be every tree and dangerous to our national security. >> first of all i think president trump ought to be commended for bringing peace to the middle east, i think secondly, senator shaheen has been in the senate for 12 years during this war, when president trump repositioned those soldiers on the syrian border with turkey, she made a comment to andrea mitchell that we can keep them there at a minor cost, senator shaheen said only a few soldiers getting killed -- i take that personally and because i have two sons that are serving, one at west point whe

to overthrow assad in syria but be that as it may the azerbaijani about to said why would they need syrian rebels who might not even be able to speak the same language they have enough troops to defend azerbaijan without using troops that were helping britain overthrow president assad in syria. of course it's a big question why has your guy john has sold out its sovereignty to turkey and now it's to bring its own agenda at whatever retesting to bring in needs neighborhoods demeter east to export that stories of dynamics to our beaches of course as a writer has to answer that question what was its interest why did it messed up. with its own population employed for a terrorist fighters nor a look that peace can have long term consequences for their own internal dynamics well they say they are there may be foreign contractors guarding energy infrastructure but they're not taking al-qaeda and isis to outta syria to fight against your country i want to clear something up as a mage earns a president's office tweeted armenia has fired at the backward to please e.j. and pipeline and corresp

essentially tricked syria to examine the. new. syria recovered track which the israelis grew up with the tiny sliver of territory everything in israeli hands. the egyptians got what they wanted out of it so you know sadat had realistic goals about recovering the sinai and the war led to the recovery of the sinai for egypt so you've got to see that as a win for the egyptians. for the syrians they don't recover the golan so you've got to see that as a defeat essential. for the israelis all smoothly they had reversed the course of the war but they had suffered very heavy casualties so you kind of have to see it as a bit of a defeat for the israelis in terms of being caught by surprise. you know a person in his life has 34 friends who are close to their hearts and in their souls possibly of another of them returned with me so i definitely don't think there are any winners in your age there will be someone who loses more someone who loses less but there are no winners in wars and that's something which has stayed with me since $973.00

information certainty that indicates that militants from to have this group the field of combat and syria to rejoin the field of conflict and care obama tonight we have this information regarding the transfer of misery fighters from the middle east and chronic care beharry at a school of the information exists and it was presented in social national and round 100. specifically said that its intelligence refers to a few 100 a few 100 syrian geodes hardcore islamists who are rigidly from a group that functions that works out of the vicinity of aleppo there there are many many hardcore geodes groups in that area but these calls of you know just the just these calls have basically backed up what various journalists various media outlets as in the russian foreign ministry of also said that they have that they have caught by information that suggests more and more jihad this war more syrian mercenaries will funnel were transported to is it about john to fight on behalf of the is it a budget on the side against against armenia russia russia had said this a day earlier moreover there has been a l

media a small victory is claimed it tuns out the photo was actually of a helicopter shot down over syria back in february but it doesn't matter because people. thought it was necessary and that will stick as a boy john uses the same tactics to post about a successful strike the bridge on his side did not publish any images of the strikes and the remain in positions of military equipment it turned out it was for those from the war in syria these videos which had thousands of times and so without being the truth they become a 1000 of the truth so we're letting this has this war of information become that journalists have been put on high alert. all members of the media in armenia and azerbaijan to not take part in the ongoing information war journalist should avoid when it people asian and official propaganda it is important to cross-check information even when it comes from official sources journalists should never become soldiers in the information war one of russia's most famous authors once compared finding the truth to looking for gold he said the only way is fast to wash away all tha

in syria, too, fires have broken out in the western coastal region with at least two people dead and a number of others being treated in hospital. and in turkey, firefighters have been racing against time to extinguish a raging wildfire that threatened a residential neighbourhood in the southern province of hatay. local authoroties said six areas were evacuated and at least three cars were burnt. stay with us on bbc news — still to come: voices of the hong kong protests — we speak to students shot by live rounds at point blank range who now face imprisonment. this was a celebration by people who were relishing their freedom. they believe everything's going to be different from now on. they think their country will be respected in the world once more, as it used to be, before slobodan milosevic took power. the dalai lama, the exiled spiritual leader of tibet, has won this year's nobel peace prize. as the parade was reaching its climax, two grenades exploded and a group of soldiersjumped from a military truck taking part in the parade, and ran towards the president, firing from kal

there are also warnings the current of our situation is far from under control in syria despite what the government says. i'm jolly rancher this is al jazeera live from london also coming up iran accuses the us of trying to blow up its remaining channels to pay for food and medicine with its latest sanctions on 18 banks and donald trump refuses to take part in the 2nd debate the democratic rival joe biden if it's held virtually. the world has seen a record one day jump in global coronavirus cases the world health organization has reported more than 338000 infections in 24 hours and 5 and a half 1000 deaths this is warnings a sounded about rising cases across europe as france reported more than 18000 new cases it was announced that 4 major french cities will join paris and last say at the maximum level in the u.k. where cases rose by more than 17 and a half 1000 the government says it's considering a range of measures for northern england for the 1st time since april portugal has recorded more than a 1000 new cases and italy more than 4000 and poland's prime minister says wearing mask

in syria but the military of 5 years but. they haven't really safe the syrian regime and they have the f.a. leverage in the middle east but they haven't really quality political solution which i think they are still interested in presenting i think the russians want to keep of course military control and there's absolutely no question that they want to force rebel held areas in the submission but of the other hand they see that syria needs some sort of a solution and the authoritarian solution of course of still. there needs to be political progress in light of the current president who wrote him and so the russians are engaged with the united nations it was their idea to bring together some sort of a constitutional committee that syrians from within the areas and from the opposition to create some compromise and thought some thought of a perspective they haven't been very successful of this so i think russia will remain involved militarily politically but sometimes for very different goals. very clear girl from 7th magazine.

another aspect to this conflict france russia accused turkey of funding the militants from syria into the conflict zone armenia's backed up that claim saying turkey is using terrorist to help azerbaijan along with direct military support observation for its part denies those allegations saying it is armenia that's using foreign mercenaries. there is much historic evidence for meaning of terrorists and mercenaries during the occupation of nagorno-karabakh and adjacent regions of his or beach on their mini and leadership continues this policy today mercenaries are pumped into the conflict zone disguised as volunteers according to our information about 4 families and militants have recently been deployed by turkey from syria to azerbaijan they are already fighting for azerbaijan they are trained in militant camps and then transferred. well russia france and the u.s. have urged the warning signs to end the financing of call for negotiations involving the o.s.c. minsk group which has been overseeing peace efforts for almost 30 years turkey has rejected pleas for such a truce president erdo

right but actually it wasn't happening in syria. so we need to make sure that whatever we're looking at it's clearly verified it's not just propaganda. so you can see there's 4 bombs falling from scott and then impacting 3 of them in a pretty much the same place a force to further out. so there we see the bigger impact here and then there's one further down here. it's hard to say what exactly it is but i wouldn't exclude either the syrians or the russians russians from this one but in addition to this it would be really good to see the actual remnants of the bombs themselves because that then gives you more data about what exactly the bombs were and that can tell you who opossum to strike the work that heidi and belling cat have been doing is critical they're grabbing obviously large quantities of information much of which can disappear quite quickly from the internet and preserving it so that we have it for future accountability mechanisms one of the things that hadi and the syrian archive have been doing and we've been really tryi

darren conway, bbc news, idlib, syria. covid—19 has "thrived" among black, asian and ethnic minority communities — because of race discrimination. that's according to a report comissioned by the labour party. last week, a government adviser said "structural racism" is not in itself a " reasonable expla nation" for differing infection rates. but the report's author, baroness doreen lawrence, said ethnic minority groups were "over—exposed to the virus" and faced barriers to healthcare. she spoke to public transport workers and other front—line staff — including one nurse who said she was afraid to go to work. when she said, you know, i didn't go to work to die, that was such a telling thing from me and that's what choked me because, you know, it's the fear of nurses and doctors that they have that fear, even though they want to do the best they can for their patience, that hasn't changed. but the mere fact is the impact of not having the right protective equipment that they feel they need or they've been given and

russia wants to establish a permanent military presence in syria this would give russia direct access to the mediterranean and enable it to become a major player in the middle east. putin also wants to exert influence in the west using k.g.b. methods for example russia allegedly tried to influence the us elections in 2016 using cyber attacks and spreading fake news american secret services suspect there is currently a russian descent from ation campaign designed to help trump in the current presidential election. it shows the level of political culture or the absence of such i reiterate we don't interfere. will putin succeed in destabilizing the west. alexander far in many respects trump with his undermining of trust in that the united states and its democratic system with his criticism of multilateralism of nato in particular has really played into putin's hands would you say that is by accident or by design. who is better for russia biden report and i think both are but for russia i mean for pushing for russia or with biden at least hopes to continue the talks on rearmament. and. wi
