6:16 am
bookmark you what you want is there with me so rob a reminder of our top stories at least 20 people have been killed in a mass shooting at a shopping complex in the u.s. city of el paso in texas a 21 year old white man has been arrested is the 13th machine in the u.s. this week. police in hong kong were fired tear gas the pro-democracy protesters thousands of rallied for the 9th weekend in a row to demand political reform more demonstrations are expected on sunday. and russian police have arrested more than 800 opposition protesters they were rallying in moscow after the government squalor find a number of opposition candidates from standing in city elections next month. there's been a relative calm in northwest syria on a 2nd day of a conditional cease fire the truce was brokered during peace talks in kazakhstan it follows weeks of own strikes and province the last remaining rebel held area xina hodder reports from gaza on top of the turkey syria border. there is
6:17 am
a cautious calm in rebel controlled southern and northern hummer russian and syrian warplanes have been repeatedly targeting towns like no man for the past 3 months a ceasefire 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 i mean emma 30 more lost 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 probably opposition. always here before with the russians with all their power were not able to make any gains along with the syrian regime they lost
6:18 am
a lot of men and they were only able to take 2 or 3 villages and that's why they wanted the cease fire early on the ground we are stronger i don't want to have our 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 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 today
6:19 am
administration. can't couldn't do before so i personally think that there is. tremendous 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. because you have to have the u.s. and taliban are describing the latest rounds of talks in doha as of the most crucial yet senior officials are expecting a peace deal that would lead to the withdrawal of foreign forces i mean has more on those talks in doha. this latest round of talks is again behind closed doors we
6:20 am
have very little information of what is happening inside the meeting room but we do know that both the americans and the taliban have indicated that they were hopeful for a breakthrough now u.s. envoy zalmay khalilzad arrived friday evening in doha and he tweeted that he was hopeful for a peace agreement not the withdrawal agreement he said that the peace agreement would lead to a withdrawal a gradual withdrawal of foreign troops depending on what happens on the ground and if indeed the u.s. gets all of these counter-terrorism guarantees that it wants from the taliban namely that afghanistan will not be used as a base by armed groups to then carry out a plan planned attacks on foreign soil that al about on their side have also indicated that they were ready to reach this peace agreement they did say that they were waiting to hear from the americans they were hopeful to get the assurances
6:21 am
they need on their side now we don't know how long these talks will last but certainly you do have kind of a positive message coming out from both sides of this thing if indeed a peace agreement is is reach then there will be talk about foreign troop withdrawal about 20000 of them hurriedly in afghanistan 14000 being american soldiers the americans have said very clearly that that would be a gradual withdrawal but i think also more importantly if a peace agreement is indeed reached then it would pave the way for interim afghan talks which are crucial to bring some sort of stability to that country. tension in indian administered kashmir where the government comes for the hindu pilgrimage to all tourist leaves new delhi is also deployed $10000.00 extra per 1000000. trees to the disputed region some fear the indian government is preparing to broaden its
