assad's allowhite sect. a southern suburb was hit by a number of explosions killing 30 people. the so-called islamic state of the iraq in the levant has claimed responsibility for that attack. those governments,thy 31 villages. this as u.s. secretary of state john kerry said he reached a professional grooment with russia in terms of a cease-fire. zeina has more on the turkish border. you may find some images in her report upsetting. >> two separate attacks, both involving multiple explosions and just hours apart in two government controlled districts in syria. the other, the other allowhite area. near simultaneous explosions left civilians killed and

injured. communities that were considered supporters of the government were targeted. both districts have seen similar attacks in the past and a cheer challenge in the government to secure territories. multiple explosions coincide with what appears to be progress towards a truce. we have reached a provisional agreement in principle on the terms of the cessation of hostilities that could good in the coming days. it's not yet done. i anticipate our presidents president obama and putnin, may well speak somewhere in the next days or so in order to try to complete this task. kishry was speaking in jordan, also a member of the international support group. it is the country given the task of putting together an

internationally agreed list of who is a terrorist in syria and who isn't. there was no mention of whether a consensus has been reached. protection secretary of state john kerrrk said a deal on a cessation of hostitionties is closer than ever. hours earlier, the syrian government and the opposition said they would be ready to accept a conditionable cease-fire. the government doesn't want the rebels to exploit a truce to rearm and regroup and the opposition wants russian airstrikes to stop and sooejz to be lifted. it is the u.s. and russia who are the main players. >> one of those details is the presence of the al-nusra front. the u.n. designates it a terrorist organization but it fights along some opposition groups that participate in the political process. the opposition says excluding al-nusra front in any deal would give russia an excuse to target

rebel populations. a pause in the fighting will bring relief to the millions of syrians trapped in battle grounds but it will not mean an end to the conflict. there are deep differences among the warring sides and their international and regional backers about what comes next. >> the answer to the syrian civil war will not be found in any military alliance with assad. let me make that clear. i am convinced it can be found in a broadly supported diplomatic initiative aimed at a negotiated political settlement with a transitional governing counsel. >> reporter: on the ground, the alliances chal changed the balance of pour in it's favor. the opposition's hand in negotiations may have been weakened. the general thoughts is that the government cannot win this war militarily. a truce would silence the guns.

peace still needs to be fought around the negotiating table. zeina hodr. >> live on the turkey/syria border. jamal, what can you tell us about these latest explosions in holmes. a very important part of damascus. who was targeted in these attacks? >> with regards to the first one, 346789 ariam as we heard, that targeted a mainly allowhite or in homms. it is a minority community which assad comes from. we understand the number there, the there were at least 40-odd people were killed. in damascus, it is a busy area with lots of shops and markets and other places with a lot of people flocking to it. we are hearing up to four

explosions were detonated there. and that bringing the number, the total number, more than 60 or close to 70 people killed all togeth together. another example of just how violent the situation is, that it's not just the war, the battles that are taking place or fought by the militaries, by russian air force and by the syrian army as well as the opposition fighters, but, also, these explosions, individual explosions that take place here and there that make this conflict so deadly. >> we know that u.s. secretary of state john kerry has been speaking with the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov. he mentioned a provisional agreement. what does that mean for the possibility of an overall cease-fire? >> well, in terms of we have to be clear of the language kerry used he said a provisional agreement was reached. >> hopefully within the coming hours or days, it will be

implemented but he was cautious to say that this can't happen overnight, the specific details had nobody ironed out. this isn't a fight between two sides. it's a side between a number of different sides, each vying for different gains, be it geographical, geo political, economic even in this civil war. to get all of them to agree on it. region nan hours, turkey, the gulf states as well as obviously syrian -- syria and the u.s., itself. you are talking about internally, the kurdib armed groups the islamic state. the most important thing as far as the opposition is concerned, those who are against assad, they say they need the russian airstrikes to stop boo the syrian army to be lifted in order for aid to be received by those people. as far as the assad government is concerned, they are saying

that they need fighters to stop what they call terrorists to stop their activities, amongst them, obviously, isil, however, as you mentioned, the government has been able to recapture several towns and vimingz that were hold by isil the. reports on the ground are they didn't put up much of a fit. big the question of what their tactics are and until now, there is no direct communication with this group. there is a huge question mark as to who they support and who is supporting them. so it is a very complicated situation to say the least. >> thank you, jamal. still to come for you on the newshour, after the cyclone, fujians are told to stay inside for a second night as officials assess the damage. >> so tonight, i am suspending my campaign. yeah. yeah. >> it's the ends of the road for jeb bush as he pulls out of the u.s. presidential race.

politically and social bulsz to seek affirmative action. progress now on negotiations that in this particular state, they could be given that designati designation. could that set a precedent? could we see some sort of change in the overall balance system in the years to come? >> it's unlikely because some already get the designation one of the richest state of india. they are powerful. to help those who have been discriminated severely. particularly powerful. going to compete. generally backward.

that's a tragedy. it's not an agitation. this is progress. goss to benefit someone to get more dominance. >> it is a plic indicated issue. thank you so much for sharing your analysis and making it a little bit more clearer for us from university. >> a group of rebel fighters in indian administered mir has been involved for a second day. three soldiers and a civilian have been killed. >> fujians have been told to stay indoors for a second night as officials try to restore services after the strongest storm on record. at least six people are dead after cyclone winston brought 300 kilometer an hour winds and torrential rains to the is pacific island nation. caroline malone reports. >> reporter: a glimpse of the damage in fiji after the

it's important to note that mr. johnson has said he will not appear on the same platform. it's not a question of whether this is a seismic jolt to this debate or whether actually mr. johnson in some ways trying to position himself for what follows after june the 3rd. the conservative party has splits in the cabinet certainly. another leading candidate member of david cameron's cabinet has come out with a very detailed statement of his beliefs about this. gove and forest johnson over this weekend. both of them divorcing vote leave. fridays on friday. >> listen 100 nationalist after the abilitivists set up tents.
