attacked by israeli forces late into the night a few rockets were fired from gaza in response and a cease fire was announced hours later it's the second ceasefire in a week but i don't think this would last for a long time along graduate i think it's better for us. unfortunately and we will have just. go through this or story after that we'll have the same story because many problems over the. people and. the pattern of escalation the fire as elation ceasefire between israel and hamas well i continue. to levy a situation for the people here almost two people are living under this blockade everyone says the same thing how impossible life has become. i can't afford anything to work as a killer in israel before the blockade i made around

it's expected to take just one week reach israeli waters. is live for us now in west jerusalem and what kind of things are a result saying today after yesterday's violence. well i think what's interesting is the israeli officials we've been speaking with are not calling it a ceasefire they are saying in fact that calm has been restored in israel's border with gaza they are saying that activities are returned to normal but they are not calling it a ceasefire now hamas also wasn't going to cease fire when they were talking about this cease fire for all intents and purposes that's what it is but it is a very shaky truce at this point now we did hear about one incident that happened several hours ago in gaza the israeli army released a statement saying that a number of suspects infiltrated israel from the northern gaza strip the suspects then return to the gaza strip in response an idea of tank targeted a hamas military post but beyond that we've heard of no other incidents throughout
8:05 pm
the day as of now still calm but there is a lot of unease because people here are very much aware that any little thing could could spark something and it could be a wider conflagration really at any time soon well indeed and we have seen cease fires before and the in the last few weeks and they have failed want all the chances that this one will hold. you know it's a very good question sue and one that we really just can't answer right now because on the one hand we know that the u.n. we know that the egyptian government has been working very hard to apply pressure on hamas to ensure that this cease fire can take root we've been seeing a lot of reports in israeli media throughout the day today that while israel's campaign was ongoing in the gaza strip last night that there was a lot of pressure being applied on hamas to not retaliate while their targets were being struck inside the gaza strip but the fact of the matter is even though right
8:06 pm
now it is calm that doesn't mean that it will remain calm there was escalation last week and yesterday hours before the protests in gaza even took place you had israel's foreign minister avigdor lieberman telling assembled crowd in the town of stand up on the border with gaza that in fact israel was ready to launch a campaign if violence was going to continue to emanate from gaza so very you know really unclear right now the hopes is that this will hold but people here are very realistic and they know that as i said before any little thing could really spark a wider conflict so good to get home in time tonight speaking to us live from west jerusalem. syrian rebels who surrendered in the southwest have begun arriving in opposition held areas of the country's north more than fifty buses carrying two thousand three
8:07 pm
hundred people have reached the town of my broke in hama province the fighters and their families were given same passage in a surrender deal with the government syrian army forces have since entered the city of connection the deal is a major victory for president bashar al assad whose forces have retaken much of the south at home. is in my book the rebel held area in hama where these rebels and families from connection have now arrived. well some of them have a lot of little to look like you asian bourses carrying people displaced from connecticut have arrived in hama province fifty five coaches containing more than three thousand people this is the first group from connecticut and will be followed by many others the total numbers will be more than thirteen thousand going from south to north this displacement followed a wave of offensives by the syrian and russian military says it takes place after negotiations between opposition groups and the government which resulted in the
8:08 pm
opposition surrendering heavy weapons and allowing people to leave from south to north syria this will take place today tomorrow and the day after there will be more people coming here coming from south to north there will need to be a lot of resources and a concerted effort to accommodate such numbers of people they will initially be taken to already prepared shelters in northern syria. and then chilltown in yemen is at risk of being destroyed by an offensive to take a city near by zob it is ian esko world heritage sites where thousands of historic homes religious institutions and mosques it's south of a data which the saudi coalition has been fighting to retake from who three rebels and agencies fear the battle could create a humanitarian catastrophe. the us president has accused his former lawyer michael cohen of potentially acting illegally after it was reported that he secretly recorded donald trump discussing payments to
8:09 pm
a former playboy model the recording was seized injuring an f.b.i. raid on cohen's property earlier this year in new york in a recording reportedly discusses paying money to karen to kill he says she had a ten month affair with trump well our correspondent particle haying joins me now live from washington patty what is trying been saying about this today. well i know you won't be shocked by where he's speaking out he has gone on twitter he is speaking from his golf course in new jersey way from the white house for the weekend but he has sent out this tweet let's take a look at it he says it's inconceivable that the government would break into a lawyers office early in the morning almost unheard of even more inconceivable that a lawyer would tape a client totally unheard of and perhaps illegal the good news is your favorite president did nothing wrong so let's break that down just a couple of things that are completely totally untrue coming from the president of the united states inconceivable the governor would break into
8:10 pm
a lawyers office they didn't break in they had a warrant to get a warrant for a lawyers office you have to have a really high bar of proof you have to present that the judge and the judge has to give you the war to do that judges don't normally do that so it's likely that the investigators were able to prove that there was an on going crime or at least they believe there was one now he said more incredible that a lawyer would tape a client let's think about that michael cohen was well known to tape people it's not illegal in the state of new york for only one person on the conversation has to in fact know the call is being recorded we know the president trump often heard recordings that michael cohen had recorded of other people you apparently just thought he wouldn't do that to him and then he said the good news is favor president did nothing wrong well that remains to be seen but special counsel robert muller is definitely looking into it it will sound very damning but is it out she damaging for the president. well every twenty eighteen twenty seventeen twenty
8:11 pm
sixteen this would have been unheard of in any other political year i mean let's think about this a man running for the presidency of the united states just months before the election denies knowing that there were payments to a former playboy bunny playboy model about an alleged affair right after his wife gave birth to their son i mean this would have been a political scandal of epic proportions if it had been any other president other than trump it doesn't seem to bother his supporters he's often able to just dismiss these stories as fake news here's where it could get interesting it's very hard to claim fake news of people can actually hear you on tape the more interesting thing is cohen apparently has lots and lots of these tapes and so obviously the question is what did the president know about what michael cohen was doing after the election before the election we know after the election he was going up to business executives and say hey pay me millions of dollars if you want to know the mindset of the administration to president trump know that he was in fact doing that well there could be sorts of laws being broken michael cohen under investigation he's
8:12 pm
made it clear that he may be willing to work with investigators right now he's here in calls from people hey you've got the tapes released and now why wait so it's going to be an interesting few months ahead for president trump and his closest associates it's going to be interesting to sammy from the fellows practical heinlein fans there in washington thank you still to come on the wildfires rage across central sweden the country suffers its worst drought in seventy four years and a rising tide of rubbish threatens the dominican republic golden shores. hello there we're still seeing showers over georgia they've been with us for a good few weeks now and you can still see them on the satellite pictures stretching just from the northern parts of take it out and across towards the
