israel takes a mediterranean military targets in syria for syrian soldiers have been killed. seeking pais voters in the southern philippines cast their ballots in a referendum aimed at ending a decades long conflict. fed up with the shutdown now some government workers in the us are looking for new ways to make their living and inspire the new england patriots will take on the los angeles rams and super bowl fifty three. heading back to the n.f.l.'s biggest game for the first time since two thousand and two. russia says israeli airstrikes on iranian targets in syria killed at least four syrian soldiers video on social media has to show missiles being intercepted near damascus russian commanders say syrian air defenses destroyed more than thirty

cruise missiles and guided bombs russia's foreign minister is meeting the newly appointed united nations special envoy to syria gear in moscow. rory chalons is standing by for us in moscow first let's cross over to a sound a binge of aids use in gaza and temple give us more details on those strikes and so some of what exactly was hit give us an idea of the extent of sort of iranian presence in that area. where according to the israeli military it hit specific targets of belonging to iranian forces which have been instrumental part of the bashar al assad government's fight against isis and rebel fighters the israeli military says that they hit a mission step forward hit an iranian military target closer to damascus international airport we know from the russians that the international airport has

received some damage the i.d.f. also says that it had an israeli so it's in iranian intelligence headquarters as well as a military training camp as well so if you look at it from the israeli side it thinks it seems to say that it was very successful in hitting these specific targets despite the a syrian defenses going up and if you look at it from the perspective of the city and government the state media in syria seems to be saying that it was very successful in thought in these attack and the the russians have come out with a statement saying that it actually shot down more than thirty missiles the number is again it's a game between these two sides who both claim to say that they have successfully defended or carried out this operation against iranian forces inside syrian territory we've heard from one iranian commander at least coming out again with the very similar rhetoric that we've seen in the past saying that this is

a provocation there and they are ready to take on israel one staring gauged directly how is the fact that israel is now so quickly owning up to strikes in syria being received in the region asama. well this seems to be a change of time in the last couple of days that we've seen israel ending its policy of ambiguity around these strikes that it has been carrying out israel has maintained and owned up to some of the strikes that it has been carrying out for a number of years inside syrian territory and yet it skirts around owning up to some others but this time around while these strikes were being carried out israeli military came out with this statement saying that this is what it is targeting it was very quick to put out videos of what it was targeting and very very specific about why it was carrying out this attack saying that it was a provocation from the iranian side over the occupied golan heights that it was

carrying out this attack so many. viewers of this conflict and many i'm less see this as a change of tactic something that might provoke a response from the iranian side as then because the gloves are off now and the israelis are owning up to it but this is a policy that has been evolving in the last few years that israel does own up to something and then backs off and then in the next few weeks you'll see that they're bored and confirmed by that they've carried out a strike inside syria whether it was a syrian target or an iranian one. thanks for the very let's talk for a chance now and continue this discussion needs live for us from moscow so first of all let's start with the attacks in syria and how what sort of message is moscow trying to send to the israelis. well i think the russians at the moment are trying to basically coordinate

a message with the government in damascus and make it look as if this israeli assault on targets inside syria was basically a failure so the russian military has been putting out fairly emotion free statements along the lines of pam c.-a and. operated by the syrian air defenses managed to down thirty or so is ready cruise missiles and guided bombs there hasn't been much in the way of vocal criticism from the russian leadership or the russian ministry defense certainly not anything like what we saw in september of last year when israeli air strikes inside syria resulted essentially in syrian air defenses shooting down a russian reconnaissance plane that was a very painful episode for the russians and they were angry about that they don't seem to be nearly so angry about this incident and i'm coming to the visit by the

u.n. envoy he's in moscow meeting russian officials what else is supposed to come up in those talks. well i was listening to the opening remarks for both sergey lavrov the russian foreign minister and the new u.n. envoy for syria pederson and essentially what the russians are trying to impress on this new u.n. official is how much they believe they have achieved in syria. achievements in the areas that lavrov said have been liberated from the terrorists even xin laying the groundwork for the return of refugees for his parts pederson is coming here fresh he wants to show that he is hitting the ground running so he was telling lavrov how in the two weeks that he's been in this job first of all he went

to damascus to meet with the syrian government then he went to riyadh to meet with the opposition body the s. and c. and now he is as he put it for obvious reasons in moscow he says the russia has a key part of play in the syrian settlements and he wants to reboot the thing after four years stephan must do mistura helming the u.n. efforts a believes that he can deepen the relationships with russia and hopefully he believes take the whole u.n. security council resolution twenty two fifty four on woods to some sort of settlement for syria in its long long run in war all right thanks so much rory chalons there from moscow turkey's potential military offensive in northern syria has been discussed with the u.s. president phone president that i jumped out of the one he says turkish forces are ready to take control of the kurdish held syrian city of managed without delay to

do untold trump the killing of four u.s. personnel in an attack on man dudes last week was provocation by eisel aimed at influencing his decision to withdraw u.s. troops from syria. afghan taliban fighters have killed at least twelve members of the security forces at a military base in the out of that province close to kabul more than twenty eight people were wounded when a car bomb exploded and gunman entered the compound fighters linked to al qaeda say they killed un peacekeepers in mali at least ten soldiers from chad were killed and at least twenty five injured on sunday. well most of the mean group says the attack was in response to chad's decision to revive diplomatic ties with israel polls have closed in the southern philippines for an historic vote on autonomy more than two million people in mindanao region were asked if they back a plan by separatists in the government to create

a self administered area known as. the new proposal would mean greater control and less dependence on national government if the vote passes the bangsamoro organic law will come into effect for the autonomous region the law is the result of a comprehensive agreement to end a decades long conflict between the moro islamic liberation front a chief player in the muslim separatist rebellion movement and the philippine government the rule will identify the bangsamoro people as native or the original inhabitants of mindanao so also pave the way for the creation of the bangsamoro government which will be led by a chief minister and the regional parliament. general allen dogra has been following developments from mindanao when polls opened early this morning there was a sense of calm all across about the city we accompanied the leaders of the more islamic liberation front chairman were ragtag that both for the first time together
