welcome back to our viewers here in the u.s. and all around the world. i'm errol barnett. >> i'm rosemary church. time to check the update here on the top stories we are following this hour. several revisions of the usa patriot act have expired. that leaves the government with fewer tools to investigate terrorism. senators failed to reach a deal on a compromise passed by the house. but could vote by midweek. the white house wants the surveillance program renewed as soon as possible. >> witnesses say, iraqi war planes and artillery founded falluja for three days in a campaign to retake the city from isis. sunday the planes bombed a market. mosque, warehouse, two locations. witnesses say at least 31 people have been killed. more than 82 wounded during the weekend assault. >> scattered rain has brought some much-needed relief to parts of india. as the it faces a devastating heat wave that has now killed more than 2,200 people.

11:32 pm
near me here. what they're trying to do is curb the level of smoking here in beijing. not a nationwide ban. just, just through the capital. yes, speak about the cost. more than a million people according to statistics died because of smoking relateder use last year. so, the world health organization is calling this a quantum leap forward. rosemary, errol. >> david, explain to us how people are responding to this. what it will take to get hit with the fine. where exactly can they smoke? where can't they smoke? >> you can't smoke now inside public places. inside any of the street corners. here in the bars. or in restaurants. near schools. you can't sell cigarettes. in line with many international programs in parts of the world, like the u.s. one issue is enforcement. they say this is unprecedented. in fact there has been an anti-smoking law in public for
11:33 pm
some time here. just hasn't been enforced. and the fines were only around a dollar. also a sul chuculturaler to. engrained in china. it is $1 to buy a cheap pack of chinese smokes. this is a foreign brand here in china. it has a warning that many people will find familiar, smoking will harm your health. they haven't been able to push that through on local brand. because people give gifts of cigarettes to each other. not appropriate to have a gift to some one that could say it would kill them. a lot of cultural, use here engrained that might struggle, authorities, to curb smoking at all. rosemary, errol. >> if it is justen b ein beijin. how will they measure the success of the program to roll it out elsewhere? >> well, they'll measure success, i guess, by inspection.
11:34 pm
seeing if restaurants and areas are actually enforcing the law. because now they say, well if you see someone smoking in a public space, you should call -- the authorities and rat them out. you should also send messages on social media on the we chat social platform. they will post photographs. name, details of people they say who have in fact, been smoking illegally. again all about enforcement, whether they have success here. they maybe will roll it out. through the rest of the country. but china is the biggest consumer of tobacco. one of the last bastions, must be said of the tobacco industry in terms of growth. really health officials, w.h.o. saying this could be an important test casen the coming months. whether they can in fact, enforce it in the capital. maybe enforce it around the country. errol, rosemary. >> many thanks to david mckenzie on the streets of beijing. see in the days ahead how people do respond to this ban on cigarette smoking. appreciate it. >> thank you, david.
