a new york city police officer is fired over his deadly handling of an unarmed man with the black lives matter. hello turkey is condemning an airstrike that narrowly missed its convoy in syria's last rebel held province syria 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 damascus says the convoy was heading towards the town of whom to protect rebels but ankara denies the accusation then holder has more from beirut. a 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. it lip turkey says it was heading to one of its observation posts.

that's in the harbor town of moore ak and like the rebel controlled town of hunch a horn a few kilometers away it could soon come under siege and syrian government forces and 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 front lines to help fight the government's military push the nation and army were sent in massive force amounts to the front lines and and the 2nd we have seen to be mourning the turks armisen mess of calm war 2 hunchy of order to established . and prevent the. cutting of highway that highway will allow the syrian government to collect cities under its control and revive

trade but many population centers like 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 clear 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 convoy 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 this sharp escalation in tension turn the proxy battle in into a different kind of war zone of. beirut. let's give you a bit of more background on the last rebel held problems in syria and it's home to 3000000 people half of whom are internally displaced air raids on the area have intensified in recent days after a short lived ceasefire pro-government forces are seeking to surround the area. the focal point of the recent fighting as a rebel held town controlled by a former al-qaeda affiliates it's of strategic importance because it has a major highway connecting the capital damascus with the northern city of aleppo but in the past 4 months the u.n. has documented 500 civilian deaths from the fighting russia and syria and says there are targeting rebel groups and civilians were served as

a senior syria adviser 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 le province to try to. slow down the government. advances into the province and i think the syrian regime probably in coronation with the russians carried out their strike as either a warning or 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 they're going to seek to at deescalate 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. so downs former president says he received millions of dollars from saudi arabia's ruler 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 have a 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 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. presenting 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's 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 sent 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 excuse 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 here really are used to pay allegedly or. in the mosque because they're late to the dozen or 3 so we should start asking the question on whether the just plain 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 threw down the corruption charges are about to start to justice then an attack on the morgan under their party. the salvadoran woman at the center of a controversial abortion trial has been acquitted of all charges evelyn hernandez was charged with murder after giving birth to a stillborn baby the case has drawn international criticism of the country's strict abortion laws cattle up as hardy on report. a celebration after being cleared of

almost 2000000 people turned out as the city experienced its 11th we could demonstrations the mass protests were prompted by a controversial extradition bill but why do you include calls for broader government reform and i can give you this a very clear commitment as a political level that the bill instead there is no plan there's no flesh and sue revive the spill especially in light of the public concerns but as he reports from hong kong the protesters are not likely to be satisfied with comments . gary lam's words stopped short of the protesters expectations she was asked upfront by a reporter why don't you use the word withdrawn when you talk about the extradition and she answered that she can assure everybody that the extradition bill was. protesters who have been talking about this saying that she needs to use the word

with drones they can't have any legal weight so that is certainly something that's going to anger them she's being very stubborn about this fact another point that she did not address is a demand for many independent investigation committee to look into the police violence and. unfolded on the streets here well she said that she will cause a civilian body that's already exists and his government appointed the independent police complaints council to look into what happened and come up with recommendations for the government that certainly will not make cutted with the protesters and also she didn't address a tool the 5 demands that they have been asking for so certainly they probably will have an increase and there may be louder voices calling for her to

italy's 2 populist parties the far right the the anti establishment 5 star movement comfortably wedded to each other in a coalition of convenience. between the 2 the dominating force had always been the league with its strident anti immigrant policies and heavy reliance on its leader. combative personality and to prove popular eclipsing the 5 stars presence in the coalition. taking advantage of his surge in popularity really 2 weeks ago salvini took a gamble and announced that his party's alliance with 5 star was over the leak put forward a motion of no confidence in the government and salvini called friendly actions that could make him prime minister call it hubris or a nail time intervention the move hadn't quite worked out as salvini had hoped instead the 5 star movement and the opposition democratic party began to talk

openly of forming a coalition among themselves. out in the cold his supporters call him their captain but his latest venture has left him adrift faced with the prospect of losing power back down and said he would be prepared to stick with 5 star with perhaps a cabinet shuffle but his one time allies the damage had already been done. but it won't be an easy ride for 5 star either their decision to go into coalition with the far right party has cost them half of their supporters a humiliating defeat at this year's european elections and the league has overtaken the 5 star movement to become the most popular party in italy the kountry is going to write in just moments to population economic reform liberal terms wants market reforms and the fast movement have always been embracing leftist economic policies

so i don't think they will come back in the political approval from the masses of italians who are somehow demanding new elections it is a bitter breakup for 2 parties which will always ill suited for each other a fight for italy's identity between the far right and more centrist forces and with a weakening economy close to a recession the country cannot afford any worsening of its political turmoil in the months ahead. al-jazeera rome. russia to investigate allegations of foreign interference in its cut a coming local elections in moscow some local politicians say foreign meddling is encouraging an authorised rallies a parliamentary committee has now agreed to set up a special commission. the leaders of france and russia have indicated a new round of talks may be on the table to end the conflict in ukraine vladimir putin said there was cause for optimism during a meeting with anyone my call at the french president's summer home in southern france and the reports. led to me putin landed at the medieval break or solve
