as deputy director andrew mccabe steps down ahead of his planned retirement in march. suspends peace talks with the rebels after a series of bomb attacks. on barnaby phillips on the scottish island of it's for sale should it belong to the local community or wealthy landowners. syrian warplanes have killed at least twenty people during an offensive on the rebel held province of the monitors said the jets targeted market at a hospital full of people who were injured in the strike it comes as russia is hosting a new round of talks and sochi the main syrian opposition group says it will boycott the negotiations stephanie deca reports from the town of kill us on the turkish syrian border. there's just been incoming from syria into turkey we were actually

preparing for a live when we heard a whiz over our heads and we were dropped. and then we saw the smoke london around five hundred metres from our position when the police have now come to inspect the crater this is a reminder of course that this is an act of conflict and there are consequences for these border towns these border cities cholas has had rockets and shells land here before also the honey on the other side of the border the people that residents that we've spoken to here will tell you that they are concerned they're used to it because i still was here just a couple of years ago along the border and there was this kind of tense situation as well but one gentleman was but yesterday said he was worried and he was already know it is most wife and children away you can see people are tense and they want us to move on. and her child has more from sochi where the latest round of talks on syria taking place. well the news earlier on monday another group of opposition

figures was going to be staying away from sochi really exposes i think the short comings of this congress russia has tried to make this as inclusive as possible inviting people and groups from across the syrian cultural religious and political spectrum so the robot is here there are his e d's there are sunnis and shias alawite and various different political platforms including the moscow platform the rest on a platform but there are a few notable exceptions now those are the s.n.c. the syrian that negotiation committee which has said that it will stay away from sochi believing that this is undermining the geneva process and the kurdish groups such as the why p.g. then not here. they are considered to start on gras by turkey and have a century been shutout but i think they want to come anyway because of what's going

on in africa and so this all basically steers sort she towards the moscow and to mass. perspective on the syrian conflict the upshot of this congress is likely to be the endorsement of a new what they're calling a constitutional committee made up supposedly of the syrian government on one side and opposition representatives on the other but if the main groups of the opposition are not here then this allows damascus to essentially say that the opposition groups boycotting sofie boycotting this process. of peace the big question of course is where the u.n. stands on all of this and whether stephan demist stora will approve of these measures and then allow this to filter into the geneva process the russians believe that he is on board rafters wait to see whether the u.s. that suggest that is confirmed. to other news now that these thirty six people have

been killed in aden during two days of fighting after southern secessionists try to stage a coup and get an international committee of the red cross posted a video online of the agency's head of mission to aid in explaining the current situation on the ground and we are going through it quite a bit. see. it a little but. tell me where we have our own neighborhood in the wee hours of the occasion maybe you can. back out some shit in the soap is what we are living in the last two days here they would we are here to get in touch with the parties that are conducting one to the other and maybe focusing on. kids we help with the way i see it is this insane we are managing this it. gets to the

the nation seems to be turning its focus away from new partners in the west i think given. the justified anger on the part of the national community in the un instead of of handling that criticism in dealing with the crisis and are caught in a professional political and moral man a government has decided to just go back to the chinese this new factory on the outskirts of yangon supplies myanmar rubber to tire manufacturers up in china it's about seventy percent of their business they want to expand to the west but this deepening rift between western nations and the government here might force companies like this and the nation to remain reliant on trade with china. myanmar drew harsh comments from the u.s. last week when it announced the government would buy six advanced su thirty fighter jets from russia. and the. and ginzo when i was a political prisoner during military rule he says the timing of the fighter deal
