the battle heats up in a key town in syria's problem with accusations by turkey that its military convoy was attacked. in life from a headquarters and. are also ahead a court in sudan here is evidence that former president bashir received millions of dollars from saudi arabia. relief a mother of a stillborn baby is found not guilty of murder. and a new york city police officer is fired over his deadly handling of an unarmed man which led to the black lives matter movements.

hello turkey is condemning an airstrike that narrowly missed its convoy in syria last rebel held at le province syrian and russian warplanes have been pounding the area turkey's foreign ministry says the attack violated agreements with russia which is a powerful ally to syrian president bashar assad's damascus says the convoy was heading towards the town of phone to protect rebels but ankara denies the accusation then offered it has more from beirut's. syrian or russian warplane is believed to be behind this attack close to a turkish military convoy it was making its way through the opposition controlled province of idlib turkey says it was heading to one of its observation posts. that in the habit of more ak and like the rebel controlled town of a few kilometers away it could soon come under siege and syrian government force.

their allies advance the syrian foreign ministry is accusing turkey of trying to stop the army's advance and providing support to what it calls terrorist groups turkey's local allies the so-called syrian national army were recently seen heading to the frontlines to help fight the government's military push the nation and army were sent in massive amounts to the front lines and and the 2nd we have seem to be mourning the mess of calm war 200. and. cutting 5 highway that highway will allow the syrian government to collect cities under its control and revive trade but many population centers like a whole lie along the road the town used to shelter up to 100000 syrians before the military escalation started in april many of them had been displaced from nearby

hama province it's now empty as government troops and their allies are a few kilometers from reaching its center. syrian regime did not enter haunch a clearing and fighting continues in the vicinity of the city the turks have sent reinforcement to prevent the syrian regime from entering college and as usual the syrian regime targeted the turkish convoys turkey is a key guarantor in this region as part of the deescalation equipment and we do not expect it to give up the airstrike may have been a message from syria to turkey whose defense ministry has condemned it as a violation of existing agreements and cooperation with russia and turkey's deployment of troops seems to have been its own message to syria and its backer russia not to advance any further but many are asking are both sides just posturing or will the sharp escalation and tension turn the proxy battle in into

a different kind of war so what the. beirut well let's give you a bit more background on the last rebel held province in syria so it's home to 3000000 people half of whom are internally displaced air raids on that area have intensified in recent days after a short lived ceasefire a pro-government forces are seeking to surround the area and. the focal point in recent fighting is a rebel held town controlled by former al qaeda affiliates it's a strategic importance because it has a major highway that connects the capital damascus with the northern city of aleppo and in the past 4 months the u.n. has documented 500 civilian deaths from the fighting russia and syria insists there are targeting rebel groups and not civilians were served as senior senior syria adviser excuse me to the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. under president barack obama and he says the airstrike near the turkish convoy was

most likely deliberate. by all indications the turkish forces and allied syrian opposition groups the syrian national army were heading toward the southern edge or the frontline of it looked province to try to. slow down the government. advances into the province and i think the syrian regime probably in cornish and with the russians carried out their strike as either a warning or they intended to hit the. the military convoy you know the turks have very limited options they are facing both the regime and the russians alone while they're also worried about the potential of 3000000 refugees spilling over into their their country and obviously they're dealing with the kurdish situation along the border with syria democratic forces so they're going to be very very hesitant to engage in an all out confrontation and i think we're going to see through at the

escalate now publicly they can adopt a harsh stance but behind the scenes i am certain that they are trying to work with the russians to convince the regime to slow down their income encroachment into areas that are close or at. the checkpoints sudan's former president says he received millions of dollars from saudi arabia's royal family during his presidency but he told investigators the funds were not included in the country's financial records the revelation came during his 1st court hearing on corruption and bribery charges since he was forced out of office by the military in april but morgan has more from the capital hard to. he was once feared and guarded as the head of the country now sudan's former president on what it is under a different guard as he appears in court to face so for criminal charges which include illegal possession of foreign currency and bribery investigators say they found more than $130000000.00 in his house days after the military deposed him in

april. renting the head of a country to trial proves that there is a rule of law in the country and that no one is above the law this message is not just for the ousted government but the incoming government the case will resume next week we can't tell you what the outcome will be but we can say that we are assured that the case is going in the favor of the defendant the court heard that bashir admitted to receiving $90000000.00 from saudi arabia he also admitted to receiving millions more from the ruler of the united arab emirates during his time as president bashir is 10 sudanese soldiers to fight alongside the saudi u.a.e. coalition in yemen but investigators say the former president said he doesn't know how the money he received was spent nor did he follow up on its use he was also charged in may for inciting to kill protesters in demonstrations that started in december over the rising cost of bread which quickly turned into a nationwide anti-government movement those charges are yet to be heard in court

charges not addressed are charges that are brought against him by the international criminal court which involve work crimes crimes against humanity and genocide the transitional council that ousted him said that they will wait until a transitional government is formed and an independent and impartial judiciary is set up and that body will be the one to determine whether the former president should be tried for these crimes and if he is whether he's guilty or innocent. more than 300000 people have been killed in the western region of darfur since 2003 and more than 3000000 displaced international experts say there are many reasons as to why bashir isn't likely to be handed to the international criminal court. recent research demonstrates. warrant of arrest released by the international court would do not really. provide incentives for a peaceful solution the current transitional government is composed also by many

who are the of lee or. allegedly of course in the massacres that saddam seems the browser of 3 so we should start asking the question on whether the just weak claim the i.c.c. could bring to sudan wouldn't be a plus sagal justice but after 30 years in power with immunity from any kind of prosecution for people in sudan the corruption charges are a better start to justice than an attack on the morgan under their. chief executive says he hopes the weekend's nonviolent protests means the territory is on its way to peace so this protest was the calmest in recent weeks almost 2000000 people turned out as the city experienced its 11th week of demonstrations the mass protests were prompted by a controversial extradition bill but widened to include calls for broader government reform. i can give you a very clear commitment as

a political level that the instant there is no then there's no to revive the spill especially in light of the public concerns. joining us live from hong kong so how significant were kerry comments. well i think what we have to look at here is what she did not say i mean we just heard her. use the word the bill is dead but she didn't use the word withdrawn which is something do protesters have been asking for saying that the word dead had no. significance whatsoever and again she was pressed by a reporter today. why don't you just say up front that the bill has been withdrawn and that's was her answer to bill is dead and there was no plan to revive her so that is going to. stop short of the expectations of the anti government protesters

she also didn't address told a list of 5 demands that they have been asking for we saw on sunday a quarter of the population of hong kong on the streets asking for the 55 demands she ignored that in her press conference the one thing she said is that she has a civilian body called the independent police complaints council to sort of investigate what has been going on and to come up with recommendations for the government that also stop short of the expectations of the demonstrators they have been asking for a independent commission. government appointment appointed and i don't see how the protests were trust. you know at the end of the day it's more important what she didn't say than what she said so how do we expect the protestors to react to all of.

well overdue we've been checking up on social media and basically only so was really angry reactions that she wasn't really addressing them at all i think that feeling that she is ignoring all of their demands is going to be even stronger now i'm probably calls for her to resign will also become louder we've heard them among many of the protesters now you also have to prove government that would be quite satisfied with she said because they have been saying that yes she did mistake but she has to be very strong in this situation and she has to be given a chance to lead home called by and large and those who are against her they would be more angered then satisfied by her words and how mean to stop them from hong kong thank you. still ahead on al-jazeera. i remember shaking with fear

effectively serve as a new york city police officer eric garners daughter was happy the officer was fired but said it's injustice her father was killed in the 1st place i will do everything in my pollock's of so i never see another i don't even want to see another video. person being choked out because this was supposed to happen to him and it's not supposed to happen i should not be here standing with my brother fatherless i should be here with my father but there's something else of that away from me also of a 17 the police union blasted the decision saying the officer was just doing his job trying to arrest an uncooperative suspect anyone that has been a police officer know every 2nd counts when you're getting possibly rolled through a plate glass window your responsibility is the itself the person you are trying to arrest and everyone else while there is disagreement if the police officer should

said that they were going to withdraw from that treaty because they said that russia had been violating the terms of the agreement now that's something that russia denies so what we know is this test took place on sunday in the afternoon in california and the military saying that it went more than 500 kilometers and then accurately hit its target again the more than 500 kilometers is the key because that sort of testing hasn't been done in decades because it had been prevented by the treaty that says you cannot test land based cruise missiles that have a range between 502-5500 kilometers so the u.s. said that they were going to take this step they say they're going to have more tests in the future the big question now is where they're going to try and put these land based cruise missiles we know that the secretary of defense has hinted that he'd like to play some in asia china reacted strongly along with the u.s. allies say that that was not a good idea but this again he said it will take time before any placements are made this is a 1st step but it is a 1st step that the u.s.
