their role in the socially agreement last year. how the muslim you term this has not materialized on the contrary the number of terrorists in and lead has increased namely foreign fighter terrorists in libya. the opposition despite reservations agreed to a truce but accused the regime of violating the sushi agreement taking advantage of a withdrawal of fighters so they could launch what it called their cunning criminal attacks and their spokesman gave this warning. right now there is no trust and there will be no trust in the future when it comes with during the heavy weapons no heavy weapons will be withdrawn unless there are a written guarantee. that russia says the biggest fighting group brands as terrorists. h.t.s. must be eliminated turkey has an obligation according to such a memorandum to do it if they cannot do it alone we can render them some help from

us. that's why we talked also today with the opposition that if they are interested and if they need some help also from the russian federation to fight a sham and other rebel cause and in a glib zone then they can count we can do it no one can measure the depth of distrust between the warring sides after more than 8 years of war hundreds of thousands dead moment 10000000 people displaced then there's the differences between the guarantors of these talks iran and russia on one side turkey on the other each with their differing interests. nevertheless for so many traumatized civilians there's hope of some with spike from the bombing but no one needs reminding that deals done by leaders in high places have let the people of syria so many times hundreds simmons' al-jazeera. kazakstan. but

from al-jazeera sent a harder reporting from the turkish syrian border. the ceasefire seems to be holding there are no reports of russian and syrian airstrikes targeting rebel controlled towns in southern adlib and northern how are no reports of fighting along the front lines we've been in contact with syrians living in those rebel controlled towns towns like modoc noman a horn that were repeatedly targeted over the past 3 months there is a feeling of relief but caution at the same time people do not trust the syrian government they believe that this is just a short term arrangement and it's just a matter of time before the bombing resumes that this is a conditional cease fire and the pressure is on turkey to fulfill its commitments under these such a memorandum this is what russia has been pressuring turkey to do for some time now that such a memorandum calls for the creation of a demilitarized zone that is supposed to ring the southern province of the southern

excuse me the southern edges of the province of idlib it's supposed to be free of weapons free of fighters turkey was not able to create these to militarized zone because groups like the a sham which many in the international community believe is still linked to al qaida refused to leave the area now it's not clear how long turkey has to implement this agreement the russian reconciliation center in syria is mentioning a 24 hour deadline we haven't been able to confirm whether or not there is a 24 hour deadline but definitely it will be difficult for turkey to achieve the creation of a zone in just a few hours especially since h.t.s. high up that. and other opposition groups have not declared their willingness to leave this demilitarized zone but this is the news from observer still to come on the program more fury in south korea protesters that denounced japan over a trade dispute. but tell you why there's fear that the above outbreak could last

hong kong thomas says that group early evening there what's the atmosphere like. talked about that protest in the park in the moment area kalou you. know the side of hong kong now that was enough to shill protest of this show that the police had sanctioned and allowed to go ahead that it was very celebratory a good festive mood tens of thousands of people this is different this is about 3 or 4 kilometers away we went to the right this is the main shopping street cowley normally on a saturday be full of cars and people shopping tourists predominantly right now it's not this was not supposed to be a march tonight on the phone. to protest as if tom i'm not you know tens of thousands down this road towards the northern side of home from kolkata and they're a very different crowd to the ones eyesore of public housing now the official sanction bites at these people much younger many of them i would question majority

but many of the deaf i see is that mostly wearing black many occurring helmets gas mosques is a real beating that are anticipates you chop your lights and now this road leads to a ferry terminal on the hob and at the end of this right about 2 kilometers further down were testers have already made barricades to prevent the place now that we've seen any place yet but to prevent the place from leaving them later tonight if that is necessary but there's a real fia among those who are looking possibly at the moment that the could be trouble lights and that has been the pattern with previous protests that the start of peaceful assault are going to get rowdy and then at some point later coming out not as well we've seen some of the violence on the senator these are just the latest in and have a running series of approaches something. they always he said this is the 3rd consecutive day of the crisis the been more protests they sweep the the mood basic rights s.b. this weight than the happy days without them and there are more to come another big

to keep the state and they also want her resignation no sign of that on friday night she was seen in public for the 1st time in days and she was echoed that she came out of dinner many people who weren't there to protest by just passing by so i started heckling her calling for her resignation said she doesn't realize from the t.v. pictures that she's saying how people feel in the straits what he said we did on friday night should be said though there is another protest going on right now in victoria on hong kong on itself that one pro-government supporting the place and their actions i've bought not everybody in hong kong is on the same side but these products that's the anti government wants all certainly the biggest and they're a lot more numerous today after many thanks out zeros on to tell us that live in hong kong. angry south koreans are continuing their protest against japan on saturday as a bitter trade route between the nations heats up south korea is now considering scrapping a crucial intelligence sharing pact as a top official warns that the country is exploring all options the row escalated on

friday when japan removed south korea from a favored trading nations list prompting warnings from seoul tensions came to a head after japan curbed imports of 3 high tech materials to south korea last month let's go live to seoul officers from bride is there what's going on right now where you are oh. that's right a big protest here adrian is building not close to the location of the japanese embassy it's often a focal point for these protests but this time the crowd is much bigger we're probably going to be seeing several 1000 people here for this demonstration they have been obviously very fired up impassioned if you like by this decision to remove south korea from this so-called white list of their preferred nations people you go around and you talk to them they are extremely angry what they see is basically south korea almost being under economic attack that's how they see it and

this has very much stirred up a lot of the old down your ma cities going back decades to the 2nd world war between these 2 adversaries there is a still a feeling here a deep rooted resentment that japan is never truly atoned for its war time since it's never really owned up to the responsibility for what it did of course many people here were born at a time when south korea was occupied of green peninsula was occupied by imperial japan during the 2nd world war it suffered very badly as other asian nations did with things like with things like forced labor which is what this dispute all began with we seem to figure it's easy to forget how this thing began this was just a court case. with some people trying to seek damages from japanese firms all these years after the 2nd world war and it's now led to this you see people here carrying banners calling for a boycott of anything japanese don't travel to japan don't spend

a single korean one there don't buy any japanese goods or japanese cars as this trade dispute deepens a true what's the potential fallout of all of this. well as in the tit for tat 1st of all what you get is retaliation and that's what the south koreans have done straight away they have said well if you're going to remove our preferred nation status you're going to say you can't trust us well we can do that as well they have gotten downgraded japan's status as a preferred nation to trade with that has taken place also japan south korea has been setting aside funds for what it expects will be some pretty serious economic impact from this south korean high tech manufacturing was suffering anyway as a result of a global downturn also affected by the trade trade dispute between china and the united states so this comes at

a very bad time for south korea manufacturers the government is setting aside funds for that but you also do get a sense here adrian that you never let a good crisis go to waste to late has stirred up some very strong feelings here in japan for shinzo are they 95 percent of japanese people support taking these economic measures economic restrictions against south korea and it does fit in with shinzo our base kind of policy you have been a bit more assertive with your neighbors that it's time for a new japan to emerge from the shame of the 2nd world war the shadow that it's cost a dear full moon j.n. south korea's president he's popularity has been suffering badly with the states. the economy and also the story nature of his policy of reconciliation with north korea so this actually is a rallying point for him will be interesting to see how this plays out for him because there really is a sense here of. really found pride of nationalism to be south korean

especially in the face of what people here to be perceived to be a real threat from your closest and oldest adversary. out 0 as rob mcbride reporting live from seoul rob many thanks indeed. measures to detect a bowler in the democratic republic of congo may only be identifying hoff of those with the disease a congolese response coordinator is also warning that the outbreak could last for up to 3 years health workers are trying to contain it spread in the eastern city of goma 4 cases have been confirmed. all democratic republic of congo has seen the bookcases double over the last 3 months the relief agency doctors without borders since the number of new cases is averaging between 75 to 100 each week at least 2700 people have been infected in the 2nd worst about outbreak in history the virus has killed at least 1800 people in the past year let's go live now to what rwanda

is capital garley al jazeera stephanie decker is their staff how concerned is real wonder that the a bowler outbreak could spread their. but it keeps reiterating that all is well and rhonda has never had a case of it here but of course they're concerned because exactly that it's reached go by which is a city that is literally its borders it's the borders literally like a road that divides what is a close community and this is why they close the border for a couple of hours on thursday because they they beefed up let's say the medical checks of the people thousands of people that go back and forth across that border every day they have trained medical stop also here and could go to that this has been going on for quite some time as you mentioned this outbreak was started about a year ago but at the moment they're also carrying out a bona drills in the hospitals here they want to be prepared they're taking it very

seriously it is something that they do not want to be seen is a threat in rwanda it's highly dependent on tourism and of course you know if you hear the term threats of a boat people panic and this is also something that we've seen speaking to people here in kigali who have relatives in go mode worried about them not really knowing how this is going to play out vaccinations are not available to everyone so yes i think they're very concerned but they do keep stressing that at the moment there is absolutely no need to panic but warn against any travel to those areas. to cross the border into. the country croupe. but this is the challenge and that's the challenge also particularly what's happening now in the eastern part of the d r c is that when people get infected you need to trace who they come into contact with because the way the virus is spread is through physical contact in the in the terms of bodily fluids so in a in

a society where a lot of people hauled to welcome it's a very tactile society it gets transmitted very easily so the rwandans will tell you that they they can be prepared it is now deemed. by the united nations and international concern which means that you have not only local government but in the d.m.z. but you have aid agencies on the ground working together because it is at this crisis of international concern it did cross into rwanda a couple of months ago 3 people cross and there was a real clamp down right away. when that happened it didn't spread so i think at the moment it is important to note that it doesn't spread to neighboring countries and even some good news for people that were quarantined adrian and were being tested we understood just a couple of hours ago that they are negative but again it is expected to still grow and the concerns of course about cross border contamination are real but at the

moment that hasn't happened yet al-jazeera stephanie decker reporting live from the stuff many thanks. jenny harrison is here with weather. puerto rico has a new government but he's already facing several challenges. we'll tell you why police in russia are stepping up their crackdown before a plan dryly and moscow. for how formula one world champion lewis hamilton aims to get back to winning ways about. 3. i know that talk is no longer a tropical storm but it is continuing to produce some very heavy amounts of rain this is a tale a satellite is mass of white that you can see now is moving steadily away from

southern china but it's heading towards northern sections all that there is no longer a tropical storm it is a tropical depression the winds have weakened but it is still producing some gusty winds and the rain continues to come down look at these totals in the last 24 hours turn 22 millimeters 208 now the good news in a way is that as a system pulls away to the west we will be saying oh we shouldn't be thing i should say these sorts of totals continue to add up in this same area the rain of course will go with this system and so we're going to see some very very heavy amounts pushing across into hanoi and also worth noting here nothing to do with this particularly but you'll notice here manila we've got some very heavy rain back to the 4 calls for the next couple of days but look at this for monday it is just widespread you can barely see any of land it's actually a combination of this tropical depression and also the plum rains that it's typical for this time of year so have a look at something the cumulation over the next couple of days because we have seen some localized flooding and we could well see some more particularly totals as

you can say the next couple days yet again another 250 millimeters of rain is expected. combining technology. to challenge a methodology. busy through. creating. a generation of children. into the trial places of tomorrow. after. the rubble and. expose prominent figures of the 20th century and influence to come. force of history beginning with the giants of the struggle for civil rights to. just 8 miles over the world. and continue to keep the negroes.

that's what you mean by malcolm x. and martin luther king face to face on 00. 0 again it's good to have you with us adrian for going to here with the news from al-jazeera our top stories are free council and its main opposition coalition have finalized a constitutional agreement the deal paves the way for the formation of a transitional government at elections in 2022. a conditional cease fire is in place in northwestern syria after a week of intensifying airstrikes on profits the opposition says that it will stick

to the deal as long as the government doesn't violate it and the day after civil servants in hong kong to fight a government call to remain neutral and thousands protesters are out on the streets for a 3rd consecutive day they're demanding an inquiry into police handling of weeks of demonstrations and the withdrawal of a controversial extradition bill. the 8th round of u.s. taliban peace talks is taking place here in doha city officials said that a peace agreement could be expected between the warring sides and would enable foreign forces to be withdrawn taliban said that it would not talk to the afghan government about the future of the country until the u.s. agrees to withdraw its troops out of serious ha ha made is just down the street in doha could give us the latest on the talks. well the talks have started a few hours ago but we're not getting any information on what is happening inside

that meeting room what we do know as you said is that both sides the americans and the taliban have been indicating that a breakthrough could be very imminent now one of the sticking points as you said was the withdrawal of all foreign troops from afghanistan some 20000 of them of which 14000 are american now. the u.s. envoy said very clearly in a tweet last night when he landed in doha that this was about reaching a peace agreement and any withdrawal will come after reaching a peace agreement the american seeking assurances from the taliban that afghanistan will not be used as a base from any other armed group to launch transnational attacks on foreign soil the afghans say the taliban say that they will guarantee that but they also

want to see on their side a clear timetable of the of all foreign forces but as i said both sides seem to indicate that a breakthrough could be imminent if that indeed happens then the next step would be interim afghan talks that are actually scheduled for september in sweden at the moment but it's not until we know what happens here and if an agreement is reached then those talks are still up in the air at this stage although many thanks. live in doha with talks of a diplomatic end to the conflict in afghanistan there's a renewed urgency to stop the civilian casualties the u.n. says that at least $1366.00 civilians were killed in the 1st half of this year slightly down from the same period last year. anti-government forces including the taliban that i saw were responsible for $306.00 of those deaths while government

forces killed at least $717.00 civilians and their strikes largely by international forces killed or injured 519 individuals including 150 children let's go live out of kabul and speak with. national security analyst. you heard what our correspondent was saying there about. the relative progress of these talks but how can real progress be made when the taliban won't even sit down with the afghan government until it says u.s. forces pull out of afghanistan. this is exactly what our concern is basically having a peace agreement with the united states when it got translate into peace and i want to stand because a taliban leader jex having intra african dialogue with the african government.

point number 2 is what will be taliban do as photos their fight against the afghan government this concern when we are going to d.m. traffic and dialogue the taliban believes that the government representation can be dead but it would be that and us in other capacities meaning not representing the government which sort of takes us into a deadlock again as photos of peace in afghanistan is concerned because that interim afghan dialogue is ultimately key photos prominent and sustainability is fight is concerned so if you're not talking to the afghan government what happens to dob ceasefire on the other side if you look at the african government the african government is solely focused on elections and ensuring dodd did come to politics again for another 5 shias the priority for for having a system there but it beats talking to the to the taliban knowing that they are left out is not much debt so the option that is left with the government is suing

elections that either then bush showing talks with the taliban this sort of. maybe peace agreement with the united states might not translate into peace in a longer stand and the other issue is the u.s. would draw in of one is done all we really talking about. u.s. would draw meaning 0 u.s. forces in of want to son because taliban has been very firm about it that they would not even accept one soldier in afghanistan. the sort of complexities of this whole situation but but at least the 2 sides are talking even if they're not sitting down in the same room with each other i mean how long is this process going to take before we see real progress what happens next. so like i keep telling a lot of people is that fighting is the easiest part of this whole process the

difficult part becomes the agreeing to a peace deal and the most difficult part is then the peace deal implementation that's the most critical aspect of it it's going to take perhaps a lot of time we're talking about 9 months to a year perhaps even 3 years when it comes to u.s. withdrawal and when it comes to agreeing on a broad based african consensus that hold in traffic and dialogue is concerned so it's not going to happen overnight just because the taliban and the united states would agree on a peace frame would have done might not done well not translate into peace and of honest on because end of the day we might as well have defections from taliban joining a cell and of longest on the show it's not that easy it's not bad simple all right good to see so many thanks indeed to being with us on the border up there in kabul . puerto rico has sworn in a lawyer as its new government he sees appointments. by the u.s.

territories sets his predecessor record was forced to resign after a scandal of a leaked text messages and corruption allegations. the reports now from san juan. this was the very moment that governor stepped down exactly. outside the governor's mansion people rejoiced chants of anger from previous weeks more to celebrate tory cheers the new interim governor petro. was handpicked by the former governor ricardo rossi but the new leader has yet to be confirmed for the puerto rican senate so it's not clear if he can constitutionally assume power. is very. widely.

mixed views on the new governor i am unhappy and like i possibly be i don't think he is the perfect person fine but the choice that we have definitely the most competent so we can wish and hope for is that he treats the people of puerto rico how we should be treated and that he is not a corrupt person like other people have been proven to be so i'm not a 100 percent happy but definitely it's better than nothing and better than what we had the governor is now out you have a new governor what do you feel right now i feel that governor is now my governor you know when i put that guy's a group of the same. i want to stay for made the same to happen to many years

represents the same as the saying is the same the people want to change this is a clear victory for the puerto rican people and the thousands it took to the streets over 2 weeks to force out a governor they did not want they made history but now the question becomes what's next this move in the where does it go from here right now our job is to just make sure everybody has a clear understanding of what we want moving forward we want to government that really does represent the people of puerto rico and just make this make decisions for the best of our country we're trying to get people with honor and dignity to work to work for the people of puerto rico it was historic the 1st time ever the people of this island territory of the us forced out a governor with protests they didn't use weapons only their voices they say they will never be silent again gabriel zonda oh al-jazeera said juan puerto rico.

the moscow city council is an administrative body not a political one and its elections rarely trigger control bisi this time it's different the banning of opposition kind of it's why the government has angered most courts and that's spilling out into the streets maria lipman is a political analyst and says the government crackdown is designed to prevent the public becoming aware of the protests and from it spreading nationwide every thing at their disposal and. unfortunately sounds like a real prospect right now the government is showing determination to use more violence harder violence that all the policy gets harder on a daily basis. the chance of this protest to become nationwide is i was 80 the police say the arrests with the public order fences and necessary to maintain public order according to the police more than
