Emotional homecoming back to Syria for @waadalkateab and her husband Hamza ❤️

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Military parades and celebrations have been held across Syria to mark the first anniversary of the fall of Bashar al-Assad, and the end of a five decade dynasty of iron-fisted rule.

Assad's downfall last December came as a shock as he was overthrown by rebel forces.

The new interim President, and former Jihadi leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa now rules over a country fractured by 13 years of war, with ongoing sectarian violence, cities in ruins and a stable future far from guaranteed.

For filmmaker and activist, Waad al-Kateab, who documented the atrocities under siege in Aleppo for Channel 4 News and in the Oscar-nominated documentary 'For Sama', today is much more than 'an anniversary'. 

This year, she returned to Syria - along with her husband Hamza, a doctor to find her country broken, but with at least some hope of healing.

This is the story of their homecoming, filmed by Fadi al Halabi.

Warning: there are some distressing scenes in this report.

China analyst, Victor Gao, say that ‘China will fight to the very end’ in a trade war after President Trump hit China with 145% tariffs.

"The most damaging thing for the US is not the trade war. It's the attack on our science, attack on our universities, attack on the institutions that gave us the comparative advantage in technology where we are today."

Economist Joseph Stiglitz tells @mattfrei Donald Trump's "attack" on American institutions is the "most damaging thing".

4 apartment blocks stood here

They were struck at 3:30am this morning…now just rubble

The fires are still burning and smoke fills the sky

The streets of Dahyeh in South #Beirut are eerily silent - the streets over the rest of the city are filled with the displaced

Reeves is “choosing her own definition of austerity,” but it may still “look, feel, and smell” like it.

@GaryGibbonC4 and @heliaebrahimi discuss how Labour’s cuts to public services may not be labelled austerity, but may still seem that way to many.

.@KwasiKwarteng says many right-wing Tory MPs are asking "Why vote Tory?" after the Chancellor's decision to seemingly mirror Labour policies.

@HarrietHarman says it signals that Rishi Sunak's party has "run out of ideas".

DPM&FM @AymanHsafadi in an interview with @JackieLongc4 on @Channel4News :
- Hamas is an idea. You cannot bomb an idea out of existence.
- Occupation is the source of all evil.
- The path to peace is the two state solution that will fulfill Palestinians rights to freedom and statehood and address Israel's security concern.

[وزارة الخارجية وشؤون المغتربين الأردنية @ForeignMinistry]

DPM & FM @AymanHsafadi:
- Israel has crossed every ethical, humanitarian and legal line in this war.
- Israel is not listening. Not listening to its allies, not listening to anybody who's telling them that what you're doing is pure madness that will engulf this whole region in a wave of hatred that will haunt generations to come.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

“We are worried about this becoming a regional war,” Ayman Safadi, Jordan's deputy prime minister tells @mattfrei.
