aggression from its enemies without specifying who at least eight people were killed in the strikes which happened late on sunday in hama province on the aleppo countryside iranian state media denies any military bases were hit despite reports they were among the targets well when i was a retired jordanian air force general he says it's likely the strikes were carried out by israel i think israel is keeping. a balance between striking being a limited strike like this at the same time promoting terence but that means that they would like to expand the scale of war anymore so they will keep doing this limited because the ability of the opinion through once war houses. were put in the which the. militia on the bases in syria. an evacuation deal has been reached between the syrian government and some rebels in

southern damascus pro-government forces have surrounded key rebel and i still controlled neighborhoods after a nearly two week and ground offensive the dealing clews the yarmouk palestinian refugee camp was in a hot has the details from beirut in neighboring lebanon. another evacuation deal or what amounts to a surrender this time involving the. group that is an armed group formerly known as el they control a pocket of territory an enclave in southern to mask this a few hundred fighters they've agreed to lay down their arms and leave the northwestern province of a province under the control of the opposition they will be leaving with their families but at the same time. forced to give more concessions to the syrian government they have agreed to release prisoners they've also agreed to allow thousands of people to be evacuated from two loyalist towns in the province of the towns of. predominantly towns and the very fact that these areas are going to be

evacuated is a win for the syrian government because they've long been a burden the rebels use this these towns in one way or the other to retaliate against the government every time the government carries out some sort of an offensive they bombard these towns so thousands of people are going to be bussed out of this is the fourth agreement of its kind in recent weeks the government using either the threat of military action or military action to force the rebels to surrender and they have been targeting areas that have been besieged by rebels which give them really little choice because if they keep on fighting at the end of the day they're under siege so they have little choice but to lay down their arms the new u.s. secretary of state is on the final day of his diplomatic tool the middle east my pump is now in jordan where he's held talks with the foreign minister he underscored the importance of jordan's role in helping solve conflicts in neighboring countries in particular the palestinians to reengage in talks with israel while also commenting on the recent protests at the gaza border in which

many palestinians were killed by israeli fire. activities in gaza past days and weeks we do believe the israelis have the right to defend themselves. key to that as you know for us in jordan is the palestinian israeli conflict this is we believe the main cause open stability in the region and its resolution is the key to achieving the last is the lasting and comprehensive peace that we want the two state solution remains the only path to the pieces we believe in jordan it is the solution that would allow for the emergence obama an independent sovereign palestine state with jerusalem as its capital and the lines of june fourth one nine hundred sixty seven there is a deadlock in peace efforts now and we know that the status quo cannot be maintained we have a difficult situation but the challenge in us all is to make sure that this difficult situation does not get worse. it has more now from

a man. we have to go back to this summer when president from made his resume declaration which paved the way for moving the embassy the american embassy from tel aviv and to jerusalem and that is due to happen on may fourteenth ever since the palestinians have been very angered to have said that the u.s. is certainly not that mediator anymore and we saw that anger also when mike pence was visiting the region he was also supposed to meet with palestinian leadership that did not happen and during this trip where from what we understand at the u.s. secretary of state didn't even make an attempt to meet with the palestinians now to have the palestinians and israelis engage face to face directly without anyone around them that would be extremely complicated especially that if you look at the past few years well as the jordanian foreign minister said at the negotiations have

been all but dead they were the deadlock there is nothing that has been able to kickstart them and certainly at the moment that seems also very far away u.s. border guards of turned away hundreds of refugees and migrants from central america who are seeking political asylum they've traveled for weeks through mexico as money or apollo reports from the mexican border town of tijuana they're being forced to wait to see what happens next. hundreds of central american migrants and activist gathered at the u.s. southern border they've been on the road for over a month. it was an emotional moment for some for others a chance to celebrate. a few even climbed aboard a bomb stopping short of crossing into the u.s. most of these people are from honduras salvador and guatemala people forced from their homes by violent street gangs extreme poverty or other forms of persecution the volunteer legal experts spent days interviewing them to. turman if their cases

were strong enough to qualify for political asylum the rest were guys to stay behind. hundreds marched on the streets of the one to the u.s. border gate only to be told at the last minute that most would not be allowed to pass with this here is that i meant the truth is we don't know anything we're all adrift we can't say anything because we don't know what's going on we have to wait and see what we're told after the initial confusion only a small group was allowed the rest were fully half of them children were forced to wait and. we have cooperated as much as we can they knew we were coming they know these people are waiting we know donald trump has power over customs and border protection these people deserve their day in court. in what those who are not allowed to pass gathered with their families preparing to spend the night in the open for many arriving at the border gate was supposed to mark the end of their

time in mexico it seems they will now have to wait some more with no certainty over what comes next. they want to such a job it has been appointed the new british home secretary following amber rudd's resignation job it is the first minority politician to hold one of britain's four top government jobs his predecessor stepped down over her handling of the wind russian aggression scandal right denied the government had targets for the deportation of migrants but documents in our office proved otherwise. the emails chief briggs it negotiator says a clear solution to the irish border needs to be part of the u.k.'s exit deal from the bloc michelle was now an island warmed over all negotiations are risk until an agreement is reached on the issue northern ireland will be at the ukase only land fronted with the e.u. after brags that both sides say they're committed to keeping the border with island open but finding a practical solution has proved elusive so far lawrence lee has more from the ira city of dundalk. this is all about the european union's chief negotiator

demonstrating that they're in listening mode and caring mode and understanding the concerns of people either side of the irish border both here in dundalk and just fifteen minutes up the road in newry the closest town in the u.k. in northern ireland this year bonnie is meeting communities individuals people from places like the chamber of trade human rights organizations young people who say they are desperately worried about the potential for the united kingdom leaving the european union leaving the customs union and potentially a hard border going up with things like road blocks separating the two countries and dividing communities that mr bonny unquestionably is painting this as the organization of the european union and indeed the republic of ireland understanding what communities want listening to them saying to the united kingdom you must leave the border open you must stay in the customs union and listen to the concerns of

these people and portraying it as being in stark contrast with the absolute chaos frankly is of the moment inside the u.k. government which can come up with a position in the context of the resignation of the british home secretary on the rods the divisions that we know exist inside the british cabinet over brics it's this will be a chance for the chief negotiator to say to the u.k. you must change your position and tell us exactly what you want to do and really press home their advantage time for a short break here not just when we come back freedom for the journalist who was jailed on charges of insulting the king of thailand. and world records and huge wipeouts we'll have the winner of the big wave surfer once more in that stay with us.
