Could have you with us on the news our Syrian Rebels and their families have begun arriving in their region south of damascus after making a deal with the government a convoy of buses carrying about four hundred fighters and their families was allowed to leave the rebel bet chain and travel to deer and it led the rebels lost to the Syrian Government and its allies after heavy fighting earlier this month say the holder has more from beirut. In the last rebel pocket in the southwestern countryside of damascus it is a military gain for the Syrian Government and its allies they launched a Massive Military Campaign two months ago the rebels were trapped in a small area they had no other choice really but to surrender weve seen this happen before intense bombardment and then program and forces impose a siege for the rebels have no choice but to surrender or die really but this is a portent of this is not just a military game for the government it is again for iran and iran expanding its influence in a corner of syria very strategic corner of syria it lies between the syrian israeli and lebanese borders which means irans allies on the ground are moving closer to israel and israel really has been voicing a lot of concern about this as of late talking both to the russians as well as the americans telling them that they will not accept it random moving closer to their borders in fact a few weeks ago they stepped up air strikes in syria they werent just targeting what they believed were arms convoys destined to the iranian allied Hezbollah Movement but what we understand one of those strikes targeted close to an Iranian Military base a base that was being set up by iran so it was a warning message from israel so not just another military game for the government again for iran and possibly it could be a source of tension in the near future also with syrian families in the west are beginning to arrive home after enduring years of displacement a temporary ceasefire has provided some relief from the five finger though seems to be no diplomatic solution despite several rounds of talks of all of the divisible. The commonplace to win in northwest syria is deceptive. The scenic village has business fierce fighting and now its destroyed homes are unable to provide relief during the harsh winter. Were some says he couldnt handle the conditions in the camps for the displaced and has decided to return despite the risks hes now content with the limited supplies he can get in his own village but that of a sane john out there weve come back after four years in displacement camps Home Sweet Home nothing on earth compares to our lovely village we came back restored our house which was in ruins we also started to grow some wheat barley and more almost every syrian seems to have lost something over some also shares that loss as many of his friends and neighbors are gone. But his family is thankful for what they have and what they salvaged the northwestern part of Hama Provinces close to the costly stronghold of the Assad Government rebel fighters were pushed out after months of fighting but a calm has prevailed since the attacks declined as part of a deescalation deal the bitter cold keeps most people indoors local see around six hundred families have returned to a stone and it isnt easy to resume their lives. That theres no electricity the village lacks basic Services Like sewage and even schools most of the residents found their homes in ruin but they were turned to bring life back to normal. Elsewhere in Hama Province aerial and ground attacks have continued the government and its allies deny the rebels accusations of violating the deescalation deal. This is the moment fighters say they shot down a military aircraft in hama activists say assads forces have continued their push on the border between hama and live provinces. Rebel groups have rejected the talks and saatchi proposed by russia after the geneva process field to achieve a pub to peace and as temperatures drop further in the seventh winter of serious conflict the hopes of finding a solution simon job are there now there are reports of a third day of antigovernment protests in iran despite warnings from the interior minister to avoid what he described as illegal gatherings hundreds of people joined demonstrations in several cities on thursday and friday over the governments economic policies there were posts all social media about smaller protests on saturday in the capital tehran shall record only kermanshah Iranian State media is also reporting confrontations between police that about seventy protesters attacked Iran University oh yeah. All economic indications in the country are good yes there is an increase in the prices of some products and the government is working on fixing the causes of the high prices some of the events that have taken place in recent days are said to have been because of the economy but there are other reasons the people behind what is taking place think they will be able to harm the government but when social movements and protests start in the street those who have ignited them are not always able to control them. Many of the protesters are angry at rising food and fuel prices as well as cuts to Welfare Benefits they say that theyre being unfairly targeted in the recent budget while religious institutions appear to have been untouched and authorised lending practices have also caused the collapse of some Financial Institutions president Hassan Rouhani has vowed to clean up the Banking Sector and kick start the economy but many complain that progress is too slow the iranian government leaders have long blamed the u. S. Sanctions for the sluggish economy while many were lifted out of the nuclear deal with world powers two years ago some unilateral american sanctions remain. Meanwhile on saturday a large progovernment rallies also got under way state television showed crowds in the capital tehran holding banners in support of Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei the rallies mark the anniversary of the end of the address that shook the country in two thousand and nine following a disputed election. But jube so harry is an associate professor of contemporary history of the middle east at Qatar University joins me here in studio good to have you with us there are two conflicting trains of thought hey you got the iranian public saying the prices of the basic necessities and Mission Management of the economy is the problem so the government to blame and the government are blaming the american sanctions sub of which are you do actually in place from the us how do we read the situation there is no doubt the iranian people facing a serious economy difficulties the economy of iran is relying on the oil oil prices down there is a problem with that is a structural problem within the iranian economy that governments have failed to fix these and also there is the failure to benefit from the so all of this together those who are there is a problem the difficulties the iranian facing these difficulties because of the governments not only even through the governments are failing to face because the these these kind of difficulties need more if at all the governments need to be. Strong enough to implement these changes so when you say it needs more effort are we talking about the fact that there are internal struggles within the government or its ministries to actually implement the issues that need to be dealt with and if so whos whos the person that should actually be forging this sort of policy head normally is the government is the president and his team normally the president and his team are in charge and they have to face these issues and they have to fix these issues. You know told the public that you know the first four years i was involved and they were you know. More focus on the deal now after the deal is signed and focused on the fixing your economy but the economy itself cannot be fixed overnight it needs to go it is the distillation it needs the flexibility it needs in fixing the political environment itself now after four years and the first honey in this plan came to power and that the minute time came to power basically said there are more sanctions on iran to be able to be imposed the need to be reviewed i mean im not happy with the deal itself so any effort of any expectation to have. Would see some outcome a positive outcome of the deal actually has been eclipsed one of the many things that weve seen all the various social media posts and not all can be verified is that different types of calls from the public some are complaining about food prices some are complaining about the usa the iranian funding of groups and agencies and beyond the borders of iran theyre not happy with that they want that money spent on their own country there may be a legitimate point its difficult to say exactly what the iranian public are complaining about in different parts of the country i think this is not the first time where iranians are exercising the Foreign Policy of their own country is happening two thousand and five to two thousand even in the first two years of hazara honey there was a strong and strong criticism to the government how they spent all of this money on as a lebanon and syria and therefore there is this is not a new up by the way but the new is that the new group of people who are good size in the government they are more conservative there are more religious normally we used to hear this summer from the left of iran not rather than a from the new the conservative a tradition conservative this time we hear it more from the edition conservative more religious more people are living outside the main cities you speak about michel to speak about on those you know cities you know the middle class people who are living there and they can in me actually is hitting their own daily life every minute how long do you. These demonstrations can either sustain themselves or the government is willing to tolerate them you know to do the you know lets differentiate between the government and the system but i dont want to differ its just very delicate absolute reality that the government to focus on has a rowhani the system is about all the system itself the Supreme Leader has run i think what we saw in the last three days more of the system to the government today we would do we are watching people who are actually defending the regime the system they are saying everything is fine the government should do its work we would be ok and i think this is the moment where we see Division Within the within those demonstrations i think if the Division Goes on that would be a serious a threat to the whole society and that is what the system doesnt need at the moment we should see what happens for the moment but you say everything i sort of expect you.

Resolution rejecting jerusalem as israels capital given jacob is the associate professor of diplomacy and disarmament studies Jawaharlal Nehru university in new delhi where he says the ambassadors public appearance alongside his sede has strained indias relationship with the palestinians i think india as a reaction to the episode in pakistan is completely understandable given the fact that board in the Abu Abas States have declared mr happiest as a global terrorist and in diplomacy and politics it is very bored and who you are seen with whose invitations you accept and who you get photographed with the very fact that.

Keeping up with Emmanuel Mccall isnt easy energetic young president has thrown him self into a frenzy of activity at home and abroad since being elected in may for this newspaper cartoonist sketching such a dynamic leader is proving quite a challenge. But what is amazing is that we never used to draw him two years ago people talked about the manner of michael as a young prodigy close to president hollande but he was never key ministers and we never drew him now as the president as he made it was really during the Election Campaign that we started sketching him a lot because as he was everywhere he went on i believe. Mackerels built a reputation in france as a straight talker and a man of action its why many in france called him a hypo president a phrase which was used to describe former president Nicolas Sarkozys hands on style.
