reopened as life slowly returns to normal in indian at mystic kashmir but few students show up. alone welcome to the program that syrian opposition activists are saying rebels have withdrawn from the strategically important town of concha koon insolvent province the town is a main population center and was home to 100000 syrians who took shelter that before the military escalation began in april towns nearby in the northern hama countryside afforded to government forces and rebel fighters who have risked being besieged if they didn't move further north but for the syrian government getting control of consequent gives it access to the crucial and 5 an important economic highway that crosses the country so you know holder has more now from beirut.

back under the control of the syrian government images released by pro regime media show the town in southern england empty of residents and fighters rebels withdrew early on tuesday after days of fighting and hundreds of air strikes its location gives the syrian government access to parts of a vital commercial highway that connects the northern city of aleppo to the capital damascus and has been a military objective for months this is a very important development in the course of this conflict. this is the 1st step in the 1st stage maybe. efforts by the government to regain control of the territories along the m 5 between. i think the next target would be moderate to normal. the opposition didn't just lose. rebel fighters had little choice but to leave towns further south in the northern hama countryside

they would have risked being besieged if they didn't move further north the opposition was hoping the presence of a turkish observation post in the area would stop the government advance but in attempts by the turkish military to reinforce that position failed when an airstrike launched by a syrian or russian warplane on monday prevented it from reaching its destination. the syrian government and its allies have been advancing in the past 2 weeks they have now taken more territory than they did in the 1st 3 months of their military campaign it's not clear if the rebels have been subjected to heavy fire power are exhausted or if the army is using better tactics like concentrating the strikes close to the front lines and on rebel supply routes but the relentless airstrikes in parliament continue to force people into displacement in recent days more than 25000 are believed to have moved north closer to the border with turkey war

monitors and activists say over 700000 syrians are homeless since the military escalation began in late april of. the past few days witnessed on president the bombardment that is why the people who didn't leave during the 1st months of the offensive back everything and left most of them believe that houses will either be fully destroyed or taken over by the regime. the bombardment of opposition held towns across southern libya continues as the syrian government presses on with its offensive there have been more civilian casualties as rebels promise to defend what is left of their last stronghold the battle is not over for their al-jazeera beirut well the developments turkey has to start deporting unregistered syrian refugees living in istanbul istanbul's governor set choose day as a deadline for them to return to the provinces they were 1st registered in order could affect hundreds of thousands of unregistered syrians living in the city sam kass

jungle has more. thousands of unregistered migrants have to stay to leave a stumble and return to the cities they are registered in turkey it is the syrians who are a fact of most by this decision by the turkish authorities because there are with these 3600000 syrians living in turkey and at these 500000 of them live in istanbul according to official sources but 1st and suggests that as a number of the syrians including the illegal it was is more than 1000000 in istanbul now and this neighborhood in istanbul. this is the area where you will see most of the syrians living around here but we are trying to fire the syrian businessmen and vendors here that most of the in most of the ones who are all over the registers in other cities when fashion to the to those cities and now the market is quiet and their business is already going down in this part of it i

should homes the businesses here not only the syrians but also for the troops they'd employed syrians now that go on and some syrians they had to shut down the businesses because they had to leave if you say for someone to stay 5 years in a new city you have to move in one week or 2 weeks or one months leave it is difficult for istanbul is a central fact traction for many not all of the businessmen not only for tourists but also the migrants legally or illegally it was i think it's tricky because they believe they will have more job opportunities if they reside in turkey because if stone wall has at least 15000000 turkish people living here and the city runs at least helpful to the circus economy and the industrious here that's why many migrants whether legal or illegal they prefer to stay in istanbul and spare some money and send this money back to the cities they are registered where they have the families this is what it works for the syrians when you speak to the business

syrian businessmen here they tell us. that the syrians who are under just 30 missile most of them already went back to their cities or some of them are still here their place to go out they say it is the right of the turkish government but the silly is called unprepared for this implementation now the yemeni government has said that it holds the united arab emirates fully responsible for the coup in aden 10 days ago off to us back separatists effectively took control of the port city on tuesday the southern separatists seized many yemeni security and military bases they took over military police special forces and military brigade camps in zinjibar around 60 kilometers is east of aden giving them control of a city which is the capital of the province.

now italy's prime minister just every country has just visited the president to tender his resignation this launched a scathing attack on coalition parliament to salvage any speaking in parliament conti accuse the hardline interior minister of pushing his party before the country by tabling a motion of no confidence in the government to capitalize on his lead party's rising popularity salvini argued 12 days ago that the coalition was unworkable and called for snap elections president could now start consultations with parties to see if a new coalition can be formed or dissolve parliament and trigger elections. let the . lego's motion of defiance as forced us to set a calendar for new elections there were also statements and his last days in these last weeks that have forced me to put an end to this government experience meanwhile dozens of people marooned on a rescue ship off the italian island of lampedusa for almost 3 weeks a finally to be allowed to shore around 15 desperate migrants jumped overboard in

an attempt to swim to land the island's public prosecutor has now ordered that all on board the open arms charity ship be brought ashore and the vessel so again goes following all these events for us from rome and in some ways i suppose it was this firestorm over the open arms ship that really spiked tensions between giuseppe conti and the interior minister. there is no doubt that the issue of migrants asylum seekers has certainly spurred on this current political crisis as well not forgetting of course that mr salvini was fresh off the success of having managed a hospital which would ban n.g.o.s and vessels from disembarking on italian territory with that in his popularity surgically decided to strike it at 1st it may have seemed that it was a little off time as that. seemed to be sort of conversations between the 5 star

movement the coalition partners will form a coalition partners together with the opposition democratic party but he has since doubled down in his response to this criticism in the senate he said that he was a free man and he was not afraid and that he will have was certainly not afraid of the judge would be a target people there by pursuing a line where he would like to see an election taking place sooner rather than later because of course as you mentioned his popularity in the popularity of the likud party is searching and that is all down to the anti immigrant rhetoric and the hard line stance that he has taken towards the issue and the continual promise to do so which is certainly charmed with italians. right so sagna what. are we likely to see possibly happen next because. he has submitted his resignation but does that necessarily mean there will be an

election in the country. where that is all to be discussed there will be a consultation happening over the next few days also. missed the mark that a lot has just seen off as it were. because his left the meeting now there will be a statement that is issued as to what's the upshot of that arrangement is that it could be a number of scenarios whereby he could ask wanted to form. that i live that is could ask wanted to form another government another coalition with another opposition party or it could be just a reversion from the previous coalition partners that seems unlikely though given the amount of bad blood that there exists now between the 5 star movement and the likud party but certainly in the coming up to september october there will be further political wranglings that take place as well and of course in the backdrop of this immigration crisis that continues to rumble on here mr salvini will

point out to make that certainly very much a rallying call to get supporters to get behind his message so if it does come to an election scenario he wants to go on was much support on that issue much as possible thank you with the latest from rome this want to go. still ahead on the program devastation in the southern indian state of carola by thousands of lost their homes and their livelihoods many of course had lost that line. and she was right then charged with mud after giving back to a stillborn baby bought a salvadoran woman facing 14 years in prison is now being acquitted. hello again welcome back to international weather forecasts will have seen plenty

to peace sunday's march through 2000000 people it was the calmest in weeks of demonstrations which are often turned violent they began over proposed changes to hong kong's extradition laws but have 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 plans to revive the spill especially in light of the public concerns one year is from the civil human rights front which organized this weekend's protests he says kerry lam is still not addressing what the protest as a most upset about hong kong needs a mechanism broken ensure democratic election so that citizens who have to elect a chief executive that can represent the people and also listen to voices of the of you paul. and we do not need

a platform for dialogue in which. love and time with her money and of course we know a refund would take time so for the time being we carried our chief executive to commission an independent commission of inquiry to really investigate what has happened in the past few weeks so that. when. trust. me now reports from hong kong the protesters are not likely to be satisfied with comments. kerry lam's words stop short of the protesters expectations she was asked up front 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 what protesters have been talking about this saying that she needs to use the word with

a drone so you can have any legal weight so that is certainly something that has been angered them she's been very stubborn about this fact and the other point that she did not address is the 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 already exists in this 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 loud voices calling for her to resign so immediate reaction on social media everybody was saying.

that she did not know she avoided again addressing any of the grievances of the protesters in a more direct way. the u.k. foreign office meanwhile is saying a missing member of staff from its hong kong consulate is being detained in china after attending a business event there simon chang is reported to have sent a message to his girlfriend saying pray for me before trying to travel back from shenzhen on august 8th the british government says it's extremely concerned about his disappearance russia's deputy foreign minister sergei react is saying they don't want to be drawn into an arms race with the united states it comes after the u.s. tested a cruise missile with a range of more than 500 kilometers a test that would have been banned under the i.n.f. treaty which they withdrew from earlier this month step austin has more from hong kong deputy foreign minister said that the really regret that this test has taken
