hello again you're watching are just a reminder of our top stories this hour at least 20 people have been killed in a mass shooting at a shopping complex in the u.s. city of el paso texas 21 year old white man has been arrested this is the 13th mass shooting in the u.s. this week. some protesters in hong kong have been take asked off the vandalizing a police station demonstrations big. again in june where now shelved plans to allow extraditions to mainland china protesters are demanding greater political reform. russian police have arrested more than $800.00 opposition protesters they were rallying in moscow after the government disqualified several candidates from standing in local elections next month has been relative calm in northwest

syria on the 2nd day of conditional cease fire the truce was brokered peace talks in kazakstan and that follows weeks of airstrikes and bloodshed in italy province the last remaining rebel held area so in a heart of reports from gaziantep on the turkey syria border. there is a cautious calm in rebel controlled southern and northern hama russian and syrian warplanes have been repeatedly targeting towns like mine are not manned for the past 3 months a cease fire that came into effect on friday night has brought some respect for people living in that corner of northwest syria who have lost so much. money on one end of the road the more law after all that happened isn't it too late for a ceasefire people have been displaced killed their homes destroyed but they are still scared to return to their homes. more than 400000 syrians have been displaced at least 800 civilians were killed their names documented by war monitors among the

casualties 216 children but the syrian government and its allies failed to recapture ground from the opposition who was here before the russians with all their power were not able to make any gains along with the syrian regime they lost a lot of men and they were only able to take 2 or 3 villages and that's why they wanted the ceasefire early on the ground we are stronger i don't want to go to it proved to be a costly battle for the syrian government and its allies who reportedly suffered heavy losses in their ranks. the ceasefire was brokered by the backers of the opposition and the government turkey and russia but it is a conditional truce that puts pressure on turkey to create a demilitarized zone around the province free of weapons and fighters in line with the so-called saatchi memorandums the mainstream rebel factions left their positions in the planned zone last year but the strongest group high at the

leadership which many of the international community believe is still linked to al qaida refused it hasn't said if it will comply this time this issue a challenge for both sides for to get to implement the agreement. because locals to didn't. care and couldn't do before so i personally think that they're. germans and. that there will be a new escalation of. the syrian opposition believes the government will eventually violate the cease fire and the bombing will resume if not in a few hours then in a few weeks or a few months it lives fate is up to russia and turkey they still want to maintain close relations and as long as there are geopolitical interests are aligned the conditions attached to the cease fire may be overlooked jennifer there because you have to have. i just. hope sam went to it live to witness the damage from recent

airstrikes talk about over dinner 201 very favorable general we can shake a little absurd in countryside is considered to be the most intensively targeted area in the 4th the escalation zone hit by the artillery missile an air strikes from the syrian regime backed by its russian ally this is been the case since the launch of the recent campaign in february last and specifically the days before the cease fire came into effect even on the 1st day of the cease fire can shake you in was shelled by missiles and artillery on our way into can secure and we met many families returning to it leaves southern countryside we did expected dozens of families to have remained inside the city but when we reached the heart of the city and walked around we found none and the very few numbers of those who have returned to collect some of their positions and go back to the areas then they are displaced to. destruction to the cities buildings an infrastructure is of indescribable
