ultimately this is up to you to i mean look very different way where there. is a we don't leave. after days of fighting syrian rebels withdrawal from the town of conscious whom as government forces capture more of the last opposition province. followed welcome to al-jazeera life and i'm melting down is also coming up acquitted of killing her stillborn baby a young salvadoran woman says justice is finally being done. because in sudan his evidence of former president omar al bashir received millions of dollars

from saudi arabia. and the new york city police officer is fired over the death of a man here arrested which led to the blackflies massive movement. but let's start in syria where opposition activists say rebels have withdrawn from the strategically important town of whom that's in southern province recapturing this town is a significant victory for the syrian army and its ally russia it's been in rebel hands it's 2014. where the rebels withdrawal from those days of fighting which saw them firing rockets into government territory and the syrian government warned its forces that the battle isn't over yet rebels also retreated from the last pockets of land they held in neighboring hama province their foothold in hama dated back to the. days of the war let's go live now to

santa holder our correspondent who's monitoring these developments from beirut in saying that so this significant withdrawal then by rebel forces will handshake whom represents an important victory for the syrian government forces how does it change the situation on the ground. well like you mentioned. it is a strategic town simply because of its location it lies along an international highway which was once a vital commercial route really for the syrian government that connects the north of the country to the south of the country it has been one of the main immediate military objectives of the syrian government since it launched its campaign in late april it wants to control this highway in order to connect the cities under its control and revive trade no taking can change when you're taking a stretch of that highway and rebel forces south of who are in

towns in the north and how much countryside have also been forced to withdraw because if they stay in their positions they risk being besieged so just in a matter of hours opposition fighters withdrew from a large chunk of territory and really the syrian government has been able in the past few weeks to take ground more ground than it has been able to be mine switch raises a lot of questions what has happened has rebel morale been weakened yes they've lost hundreds of men but so have government forces has the government's employed new tactics like concentrating its firepower close to the front lines in the past they were targeting. randomly really towns terrorizing civilians in the past 2 weeks we've seen them concentrate their airstrikes along the front lines targeting rebel supply routes now one rebel group. saying that we've just redeployed our forces and we are going to fight back this fight is not over definitely we do

expect the rebels to continue to try to defend as much territory as they can because it live really is their last stronghold and what about in this particular part of syria the presence of turkish forces oversee the rebel forces but syrian government falls. but by russia and so the prospect then of some sort of international plus how like. well like you mentioned turkey does have ground forces and they've set up observation posts around the province it's part of an agreement they reached with russia last year but a few months ago that agreement collapsed russia blaming turkey for not fulfilling its commitments under the such a ceasefire deal yesterday there was an airstrike that targeted a turkish military convoy turkey did not point the finger of blame on the syrian government or the russian government is still not clear whether it was a syrian or russian warplane that launched that air strike but in their statement

the turkish defense ministry says this violates agreements with the russians it goes against the cooperation in the dialogue they've been having with the russians where criticism because in the past few months turkey has focused its criticism on the syrian government not really mentioning russia's role in this military campaign there are these 2 countries should be working together in syria they try not to rupture the relationship in fact they're supposed to meet in a summit on september the 11th but what has been happening in it live has been their bargaining ground there has been a proxy war between these 2 countries and clearly that the tarrier rating relationship between these 2 countries has a lot to do with turkey's improved relationship with the americans and they're working on creating a planned safe zone in the northeastern corner of syria so yes the risk and danger is there that this you know proxy battle could turn into a different kind of war but in the past they have pulled back from the brink then the other live in beirut thank you. hong kong leader caroline says she hopes the

weekend's nonviolent protests show the territories now on its way to peace sunday's march which drew around 2000000 people was the calmest in weeks of demonstrations which have often become violent they began of the proposed changes to hong kong's extradition laws that have now grown into a wider movement against beijing's growing influence. i can give you this a very clear commitment as a political level that the bill is steps there is no plan there's no plan to revive the spill especially in light of the public concerns but to me sham is from the civil human rights front that's the group which organized this weekend's protests and he says caroline still isn't addressing what they are most upset about hong kong needs a mechanism that can ensure democratic election so that citizens who elect

a chief executive that can represent the people and also listen to voices of the people and we do not need a platform for dialogue in which we. would love and with all time with her money and of course we know a reform will take time so for the time being we carry land our chief executive to commission an independent commission of inquiry to really investigate what has happened in your past few weeks so that the government will win back the trust. the british government says it's extremely concerned about a soft member of its all call called zealot has been missing since crossing into mainland china the u.k. foreign office says simon chang attended a business event in shane general the ca's and was supposed to cross back in the whole goal the same day it's fair that he's being detained china says it has no

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 $19000000.00 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 do not really. provide incentives for a peaceful solution the current transitional government is composed also by many who are deeply are. allegedly ready. in the mosque because they're

late since the 1000 or 3 so we should start asking the question on whether to just claim the i.c.c. could bring to sudan wouldn't be a plus sagal just but after 30 years in power with immunity from any kind of prosecution for people in thought than the corruption charges are applied to scottish justice they learn a ton more going on to their own but. we've got lots more to come here without jazeera including italy's prime minister prepares to tell the country what comes next after the collapse of his ruling coalition. helos a stormy day again in some parts of europe fairly obvious for it if you look at the

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. has now taken. laws demonstrations in indonesia west region of 10 violent protests is what they say is police abuse against ethnic papuans students. the

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 right in just moments to population economic reform in liberal terms wants market reforms and the faster movement of 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
