Inside Aleppo: Can the city be rebuilt?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2017
- We went to Aleppo to see how the city is trying to be rebuilt, after rebels left the city at the start of the year.
Meanwhile, the US and Russia have reached a ceasefire deal in south-west Syria, one they say could be replicated elsewhere in the country. But that won’t include Raqqa, where militants from the Islamic State group have been fighting back against advancing US-backed Kurdish and Arab forces, as they move closer to the centre. Tens of thousands of people are trapped inside the old city, with dwindling food and water supplies.

They make it seen like the elderly lady could not leave because the Syrian government did not let her by blocking roads. I think she could not leave because the "moderate" rebels did not want civilians (human shield) to leave. In my opinion, the best part of this segment was when the reporter interviewed the MP.
Exactly she said "they." "They" are the rebels who barred people from leaving even opening fired on with machine guns and mortars when people tried to leave.
That's what Krishnan wanted.
Guru ate too many chupatti's
Yep. Anyone following the Aleppo story from Russian and the "West" side knows a more balanced realistic view of the situation. Pretty clear that she couldn't leave because the so-called "moderate rebels" backed by US coalition was blocking them.
i was about to say that. i think they manipulated the translation. or cut some parts. i bet she mention how the jihads didnt let her leave
can those architects imagine that their citadel will be able to withstand a siege even after a thousand years?
I bet they could. But if they knew what happened there these years, they would have built it the citadel to fail. At least I would have - and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
Aleppo an ancient city destroyed. I have met people from there in Germany. They lost everything. I have also met people from Homs, 1 a 22 year old fit young man was crippled by a barrel bomb which blew his friends arms and legs off. Hassan managed to escape with his family, he will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair and faces many more operations. Just spent 6 months in a German Language Course with him and 14 other Syrians from Aleppo, Damascus and Homs. They all want to go back. They said Assad was ok. They said they lived good lives under him. A secular government. The man at the end of the video is right we should keep our bloody noses out of their countries.
Homs. They should rename San Francisco that.
Assad was never okay.
A secular government: A government that preallocates positions based on sectarian considerations.
They lived good lives under him: The majority of the Syrian population lived in poverty. I'm Lebanese and we're basically reliant on a Syrian workforce that numbers around 400 000~ for everything from construction to filling major gaps in the services sector. The Lebanese get to exploit that workforce by providing substantially lower pay to Syrians. Something around 300$/month would have been an average salary for a Syrian construction worker back in 2007. A salary and work opportunity that these 400 000 ( a substantial proportion of the entire Syrian workforce ) Syrians could not find in Syria. This has been the model followed ever since the post civil war construction period. Thats to say nothing of the drought period of 2007 onwards where millions of Syrians farmers were forced into the cities in search of non existent work opportunities.
Frisbetarian
I am only repeating what the Syrians have said.
The Syrians are afraid and vulnerable. The last thing they'd want is for you to suspect them as Islamists or ISIS supporters. And since supporting Assad sits easier with you Europeans thats exactly what you're going to hear.
I was making a falsy definition to highlight the discrepancy between the narrative that gets pedalled and reality on the ground. The secular government being the narrative and the definition of that secular government. The definition highlighting how that same supposedly secular government is reliant on sectarianism to exist and function. Anything else you need spoonfed?
Calling Al Qaeda "rebels". Smh. Madness.
al-Qaeda ISIS are rebellious groups,
Nope , they are terrorist groups.
Yo thats guy is muslim too
@IL__KINGDOM ABRAHAM source ?
The rebels have nothing to do with Al Qaeda
5:31 "Those who supported the rebels have been bussed away to Idlib"
Completely incorrect. The people in east Aleppo were given a choice. Those who wanted to stay, stayed. Those who wanted to remain with the rebels went to Idlib. Nobody was forced to do anything as you implied, Krishnan.
you are lying
Reeeeeeeeealy??????
U r liiiiiiier
They went outtttt all in green buses
If u want make sure check the movie (last men in aleppo)
They moved all the people to edlib
hahaha so the movies now are all about facts M. Dabbagh??
Vis Kag There are many sources actually, have you checked southfront, hispanTV, veteranstoday, sana, etc? or you just choose to listen only bullshit?
@@m.dabbagh408 nope, our army gave em a choice stay here or go to idlib most of em chose idlib
Even if every country on earth doesn't want Bashar as president its not their choice. The Syrian people are the only ones who can make that call.
EXACTLY!,America,Britain and these disgusting NATO countries have been trying to topple President Assad for the past 7 years for their OWN AGENDA,they don't give two shits about Syrian lives as they just wanted to steal Syria's oil and destroy the country,as you can see what they did to eastern Aleppo,however their plans embarrassingly failed and Syria has gained victory from 59 countries!
REPLY
Mahdi Kassem how come that those who are disgusting by your words have to help you to take your country back? Can’t you look after yourself? And I guess the next thing is asking for rebuilding aide since we are so disgusting…
Vis Kag There isn't any revelation
It's fake
From the beginning
Guns was with them
Stop this nonsense
I agree this could have been resolved or controlled without outsiders. Their religion is their business,their President is their business and ect...
Yeap greed they wanted that oil. They push our native American Indians around too over oil going under their rivers and water supplies get contaminated too! Terrible!!
So the moderate rebels held civilians hostage by not letting them leave.
Channel 4, ISIS and Al Nusra apologists - you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
Finally someone who speaks the truth about US involvement in Syria.
Kat see white helmets
western backed white helmets? what bs
caution ⚠ Russian propaganda
Lay wtf these bombings were committed by the Syrian regime
Kat I as an American, I agree with you 100%.
i wished to god there was something i could do to help these people rebuild their lives. i will keep praying for them
Careful channel 4, you let a little bit of truth out there! Your owners won't like that.
Not very true.. alot og bias here.
Once again a biased report. You cut Fares off instead of letting him finish. Censorship in action and you know it Krishnan. You left a woman's comment to imply it was the SAA holding people. Also you showed faces of the SAA when they clearly did not want this. Did you even ask? I could go on but I won't. I won't waste any more time with your crap.
Channel 4---this interview proves that you do not do any investigate journalism. Do your owners pay you good? If I were you I would not be able to look at myself in the mirror. You did not even pursue and allow the woman to elaborate on how the Nusra Terrorist would not allow her to leave when the government corridors to safety were open, and you interrupted and cut off the speaker when he was stating the facts that East Aleppo was held by Nusra Terrorist. What investigative journalist tries to keep the truth from the public? You do not deserve to be called a journalist. You owe the citizens of Aleppo an official apology for legitimizing and enabling their kidnappers by not reporting that they were actually being held by terrorist. What if your family had been in East Aleppo? How would you report it then?
Channel 4 is notoriously pro terrorist. Of course the Uk government supports the same terrorists so Channel 4 don't get arrested.
@Laurie McGee My thoughts exactly. Well said.
Laurie McGee was
Laurie McGee most of aleppo legions were mostly fsa al nusra front does not have major influence inside aleep city, however exit route was blocked by both parties cause it was a battle field, well can u tell why east aleppo still living in total destruction, no power supply, reconstruction despite the city is fully under assad &Russian control??
The exit route was not blocked by the Syrian government. it was blocked by the 'FSA' who are Islamist terrorists.
4:40 wow now that is taken out of context. She is talking about how the terrorists wouldn’t let the civilians out
Kudos Channel 4 for not clipping the video at the end when the man was saying what they want is elections and not Western interference, plus speaking about the truth of the so-called "moderate rebels".
They censored it on their website though: channel4.com/news/trump-and-putin-agree-syria-ceasefire-deal
Powned at the end!!!
shame on you Krishnan for still peddling BS. Like others have said (and C4 reported at the time) it was the rebels who wouldn't let the lady leave, and "there is no reconciliation" is a blatant lie: residents were given the choice to stay or go, like the MP says the vast majority did not go with the islamists but were welcomed back. Many of your "moderate" rebels have actually joined the government forces too
I am so glad that I stopped watching C4 and BBC.
Me too, I feel at peace to no longer have to listen to such garbage. :)
@Sid lepoisson: Fucking paid Russian Putler troll ahead. Once Putler goes the Ceausescu way, I suggest Russians hang 'em (the trolls) from the highest trees, then stick their heads on a pike in the SPB city-center as a warning for the next 10 generations that some lines of work come a too high a price.
The MP of Aleppo is correct. Back then Channel 4 News kept calling the foreign-backed terrorists "moderate rebels".
Syria belongs to the Syrians peoples, that's it.
Harry Jeancharles it belongs to europe
in your dreams
Der Rostocker keep dreaming
Respect to These brave civilians who have to endure the war, I hope the city will be rebuilt quickly and everyone can live in peace.
CornGaming91623046 i'm Syrian too bad nothing will be rebuilt
Maybe few rusty buildings
Because no one is wiling to pay or fund a dictator
@@samidawud6405why you people just don't leave Islam look what it has done to you

go cry
Ouchh those final seconds hurts channel 4 a lot!!!
Amazing how at 5.55 the mirror didn't break after the bombing & the fire..
3:12 btw she's talking about the rebels. it was reported in many places that rebels didnt let civilians leave.
I fled beautiful Bosnia and Herzegovina in y. 2016 ... 21 years after democracy units and being protectorate of the EU ... the only economy plan in that poor beautiful country is emigration and it lost more than half of it's population ... I wish you beautiful Syrians to restore temples of Ishtar and whatever MP of Aleppo said and plans. Your country is still beautiful, I can see even through the ruins. I agree with Donald Trump that NATO should not exist anymore.
If Warsaw after WW2 that was basically turned to rubble could have been rebuild Aleppo can be as well. I do hope for the best for citizens of the city and for their quick return to normality. :)
Wrong or misleading translation on English subtitle at the minute 5:00 the guy said this: we are a lacking of knowledge or (lacking cerebrate) generation ! Not as it is translated We are a generation (who faced poverty ) he said this in Arabic (نحن جيل ينقصه الفكر(وليس الفقر ) poverty is sounds like knowledge in Arabic as in English for example when say (Hi) it sounds like saying (High). There was no poverty as it meant in Syria a person works in Syria could rise a family some education, medicine and health, and many supply things were supported by the gov. so they were free a specialty regarding health , retirement and etc.
Honestly very sad what happened but sad that my parents country of the Philippines they even keep Their cities as beautiful as Aleppo. Even after their war Aleppo looks better than Manila sadly. I hope Aleppo rebuild the historic sites Unlike Manila who abandoned everything. Nowadays everyone thinks Manila is a dump. Aleppo is lucky they have that Citadel which looks really impressive.
I am surprised they didn't cut that part out!
4:33 I used to do that with my brothers and friends, good times.
حسبنا اللہ نعم الوکیل
This is what real journalism looks like, refreshing.
who blocked the roads? that part was left out, and an embarrassed reporter at the end.
America and israels terrorists..oops moderate rebels
Good report, but "We went" is vague - who is the reporter and who is Channel 4 funded by? You should always describe that in the video description field.
My friend it turn out that the media is more lost than you are keep going you guys can start again and rebuild that beautiful country with wonderful people.
Shame on you channel 4!! There will be a day when all this kind of channels will be judge for they participation in the area.Because of your propaganda,milion of people were killed.
Guru bullshit Murphy just got some truth served up!
Hopefully the rest of the fighting will end soon and Syria can finally find peace!
9:30 "Lets not get into History" LOL
lol the final part
co co co co combobreaker!
Although I'm more on the FSA side if Assad rules there will be more stability in the country but if the FSA rules Syria is just gonna be like Libya
The soldiers don't like being filmed but you do it "discretely"? Maybe you shouldn't film them at all if they don't like it.
Yet look now Deir Ezzor has been liberated , Al-Bukamal to , and the SAA has captured huge areas from all groups and ISIS has almost basically been destroyed and Al-Nusra can't even handle normal and conscript SAA forces (imagine when the Bulk of the SAA arrives in Idlib) , in other words Yeah Syria will rebuild and become more united and stronger.
the mighty citadel stands while all modern buildings turned into dust
isnt that the reporter who pissed quentin tarantino and robert downey off in an interview? lol
"That makes this city so famous" *lights go out*
Harry Osborn WAR what is it good for absolutely nothing.
What's with the sound and subtitles?
Channel 4: Although largely commercially self-funded, it is ultimately publicly owned; originally a subsidiary of the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA), the station is now owned and operated by Channel Four Television Corporation, a public corporation of the Department for Culture, Media & Sport...so owned by the UK GOVT :)
Channel 4 is a "publisher-broadcaster", meaning that it commissions or "buys" all of its programming from companies independent of itself. DO THE MATH!! :)
You can tell channel 4 has no fucking clue because the citadel was once occupied by the rebels unlike they said in 1:00
What is an MP?
Isn't this the same guy that pissed off Robert Downey Jr. in an interview?
The MP nailed and the journalist has to cut the interview to avoid further embarrassment
how is hillary connected to this?
She sent jihadists and armament from Libya to Syria...
The reporter got destroyed by that MP. Amazing how quickly he ended the interview when Channel 4's history of supporting terrorists in Syria was brought up.
In 5 years those ruins will look like they're 5000 years old...makes me wonder
Channal4 still trying to push their propaganda, but this poor excuse for a journalist didn't get the answers he wanted.
Gurumurthy has redeemed himself with this segment, after Tarantino and Downey Jr.
May the god of nature bless the people of Syria with abundance and good fortune.
Strange question to ask. Of course it will.
"There is no reconciliation here" because the "rebels" took the Syrian government's offer to be bussed to Idlib. But thousands of actual Syrian rebels have taken the Syrian government's reconciliation offer, which has been in effect since 2012. The foreign invaders are permitted to leave the country, and Syrians who put down their arms are allowed to return to their homes and lives.
I like Assad
he was educated at Imperial College
He was an NHS eye doctor
He likes volleyball
He is very tall and speaks good English and good-looking also I guess
and then you also like chemical weapons and dictators.
Twisted edits may lead to different understanding of the many interviews, clearly some edits pushed toward underlining blame on the Syrian Government, where the reality is very different, there wasn't and there ins't any rebel in Syria, just paid terrorists and mercenaries. The sooner UK, US and French citizens realize that the sooner they will be able to change their current regimes in power. Syria's future is for Syrians to decide.
I still wouldn't go on Holiday there.
That journalist sure shut that dude up!! Haha
Show that we all brothers cut their wounds us too

Can it be rebuilt? Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Warsaw, and Manila already answered that.
If Germany could've been rebuild then Aleppo can
If Russia is gonna pony-up the 370*10E9 US$ for the "marshal plan" it takes to rebuild Syria. Otherwise no. There's a fundamental difference between Germany 1945 and Syria 2018. 1945 was a war between countries - 2018 is a civil war. Germany got over the war with 80% of it's industrial capacity intact (just needed to rebuild roads, bridges, rails, and some homes). Syria barely had any industrial capacity before the war, and after - most of what they had is gone 4ever. Economic sanctions are imposed. Extensive destruction to the entire infrastructure network - such as electricity and water. No irrigation in a dry part of the world. Over 50% of oil wells in Kurdish hands. Even if A$$ad survives this war - which looks more likely - he will have massive difficulties clinging to power. Let alone paying back the Russians for their "help".
its not what washinton says its what syrians say thank u mr mp
Hands Off Syria!
How the fuck do these people have smart phones but no houses?
We will build new modernized Syria.
The news reporter need to ask questions and be quiet and let people answer without interupting
Warsaw was more than 90% destroyed during WWII. If someone want to work can do everything but is really different when u can just run away.
don't start a war if you don't want destruction. even the English man days assad tried to help
If they use lego then they can
apologise! When your wrong your wrong
jihadists is a more accurate description than rebels
nice roast at the end @fares
Hmmm hard to cover up the one sided reporting at the end. Also anyone else notices that when shit starts back firing the feed always gets sketchy?
You mean they bought Alleppo!
Its nothing. Few years of work. Get workers from india and Bangladesh
This is what happen when people don't respect the rights and belief of their fellow men
THE MP SPOKE THE FUCKING TRUTH
See "ON THE GROUND NEWS"
Assad may be evil for some , but he is a necessary one .
ill make a beutiful city like las Vegas.
.
why will be rebuilt?
Loved that guy at the end. And yes we most deffinitely should discuss why channel 4 was on the side of the war criminals al nusra...
isnt this the place where the russian army was in the first time?
It will Only take China one year to Rebuild ALL of Aleppo.
They're already on standby and have signed agreements with Syrian government to Help in rebuilding.
imagine your country become like this :\
oh hello there, SARGON OF AKKAD.
God bless Syrian people but Assad should leave the government
The Channel got embarassed by the MP's comment, well said
