take effect, sunday at noon, damascus time. according to secretary of state rex tillerson the president opened his meeting with putin by raising concerns , about moscow's meddling in the 2016 presidential election. he said putin denied being involved, president trump has avoided stating unequivocally that russia interfered in the election. president trump referred to mexico's president, as his, friend and their first face-to-face meeting. that also took place in hamburg. back in january, president nie to cancelled a meeting with trump following tensions and questions of mexico paying for the united states border wall n this meeting they discussed terms of the north american free trade agreement between the u.s., mexico and canada and, according to reports they do not, discuss the border wall.

and in the meantime on the streets of hamburg authorities tried to prevent groups of anti capitalist protesters from disrupting the summit. protesters started fires in the streets while german police fired water cannon toss disperse the groups. escalating violence prompted police to call reenforcement to help the 15,000 officers, all ready deployed. back here at home teen gunned down during a road rage incident in chester county is laid to rest. family and friends gathered in the rain to say hear final farewell to 18 year-old bianca roberson, viewing and funeral services was held at st. paul 's baptist church in west chester. authorities say that 28 year-old david desper shot roberson last week after both drivers, tried to merge into the same lane, on route 100 in west goshen. desper turned himself in and is being held, without bail. police are investigating a series of drive by paint ball attacks in two philadelphia neighborhoods. police say five people were hit yesterday on the 5,000

block of wood land avenue in southwest philadelphia. minutes earlier, officers received a similar report about a mile away in university city, and eyewitnesses told police that four male suspects got away in a silver infinity with a partial pa license plate, reading kj. police are looking into whether relation event reports of firecrackers being thrown at residents in that area related to these paint ball attacks. for the second time in less than two weeks police say a noose has been found hanging outside prominent center city landmarks this most recent incident happened this morning , police say a passerby saw this noose hanging near a tree near graduate hospital at 18th and lombard. it has been since removed. now investigators are looking into who may have placed it there and y. >> it could be someone doing a prank but what we're concerned about anytime you see a noose or that artifact it conquers

up folks thinking of lynching so it could be something like hate speech and that is why we are not treating it something as benign. >> police hope surveillance video could lead them to a suspect. another noose incident is under investigation at u.s. mint, on independent mall. on this case a mint employee is accused of hanging the noos e which happened last week it is unclear if that person is facing any charges. well, it is a friday in the summer. that means summer if he is back and this week we are taking you north to berks county. ukee washington is live in kutztown for the kutztown folk festival, ukee. >> reporter: once again, a beautiful day driving up from the philadelphia area earlier we had rain this morning but right now skies are clear, some cloudy but something could becoming in but lauren casey will get into that in a

as always, wonderful to see you. lets start first with this meeting between president trump and president putin, what do you make of all this and news of the cease-fire. >> good to be with you, guess contact first of all, the fact that the meeting went two hours and 15 minutes, it was only scheduled to go for a half an hour, poor translators were probably warn out. we're in the clear exactly what to make of it. cease-fire in syria is big deal over last month u.s. and russians have been up but bumping autopsy begins each other in syria, and american plane shut down a syrian plane three weeks ago and russians came back with very harsh language, so, the idea that any kind of an agreement could be work out between u.s. and russians in syria is dees lacing of tension between the two countries. but now hard part which is, the russians are supporting as sod in syria, and the

americans don't want assod to stay in power. so work ago this out will be very difficult. as american forces beat isis in seer, yeah the question hoist fills the vacuum. who has interests, who are in charge there and that gets very complicated, very fast. but this is better move on the syria front then things have been going lately. >> and then, tension continues to be focused on north korea as well, a lot of people talking about that at g20. you will than talking bit on sunday as well. >> that is right. we will talk to you. n ambassador nikki haley and john mccain, a republican senator, of course, from arizona what is really interesting about that is ambassador haley at u.n. says not only is america putting pressure on north korea but she said any country that works with north korea and does any business or trade or helped prom up the regime would be considered a part of the problem. so that is a very steepes lacing in the u.s. position toward china.

and, before this point, of course, president had been relying on china to help solve the north korean problem. so you have two important developments on north korea not only testing of thinner continental police tics miss bull shift in u.s. policy break ago way from china on this question and if that is the case, is what the next step. we will talk about that this weekend. >> very interesting conversation, john, thanks very much for being with us. we will see you on sunday. >> thanks, jessica. >> you can catch face the nation this sunday morning at 10:30 right here on cbs-3. cease-fire agreement between the u.s. and russia will take effect this weekend and secretary of state rex tillerson says both the u.s. and russia are looking ahead at possible common ground that could stabilize the situation in syria.

>> reporter: young manny spoke to has a compelling story he ace syrian refugee and as such he was able to give us perspective as to what the cease-fire means beyond politics and what it means to syrian people and while he is optimistic that will result in less bloodshed in his home country he thinks it is important that the world understands that it will still come at a cost to his people. on the sidelines of the g20 sum tonight germany, possible progress in the middlee, president donald trump and russian's vladamire putin resulting in an agreement, to back a cease-fire in war torn syria. >> when i hear stuff like that i do get a little bit happy, moving forward. >> reporter: mahmoud grew up in aleppo a city hit hardest by the country's civil war. he came to fail in 2012 after being forced to flee his home country. >> the government was able to get our names, who we are, what we did so at that point it was pretty much suicide to stay in the city. >> reporter: he was just a teenager, and part of the

protesting group of syrian people fighting for freedom trying to over throw the country's oppressive government. while he was able to flee to america his father, seen in this picture in aleppo did not and was killed during the war. over the past five years of this unrest in syria he is also lost a cousin and several friend. he is hopeful that this new cease-fire backed by u.s., russia and jordan will work but he is also hoping that the world understands this is not necessarily a victory for the syrian people. >> at this point there is peace but it is not really just a government taking over full control. to think that all that happened was pointless, all of these people died, all of the destruction and not come up with anything like 2010, like nothing happen except for a lot more death. >> reporter: it is important to note u.s. negotiated with russia foresees fires in the past under the obama administration, those eventually collapsed or did not result in any ending of
