palestinians have reportedly been killed in clashes with israeli forces in the west bank so today's violence is the latest in a week of protests against the installation of security cameras and metal detectors at the revered mosque security was stepped up after two israeli policemen were killed in the terrorist attack carried out by three palestinians since then worshippers of refusing to go through the metal detectors instead preferring outside they say the new security measures are an attempt to change the status quo the three palestinians lost their lives in deadly clashes with israeli security forces on friday to that day three israelis were also killed in a palestinian stabbing attack. russia and the moderate syrian opposition have signed an agreement the search terms for first deescalation zone located near damascus earlier on that era children kate partridge
5:05 pm
discussed the development here in the arctic studio. finally is it the first deal that's been signed as a deescalation zone in the key strategic area of the security which is fifteen kilometers east of damascus and its key strategic area or one time population of two million people prior to the syrian conflict key point strategic importance they've signed a document it's the first time it sets out also how people are going to behave and also how they can keep the peace and what is the deal mean in practice what in practice it's been a bit of a military free for all there so you've had the government forces fighting against the rebel forces north you've had the rebel forces fighting amongst themselves as well and you've you've had the reports of even the terror group jab at fattah al sham which is for me if you don't notice our nose or that was fighting there as well so now of course this sets out a peace process that is going to be no more fighting there we're going to have humanitarian and medical aid most of it's going to be a road map on how they rebuild the infrastructure there that's been decimated as we've seen by some of the pictures and also there's going to be
5:06 pm
a means of having safe passage for the civilians that are left there been able to leave. seems like there's progress it's been a long process so far but there will be next steps what lay in terms of the syrian peace process what will it be well the idea is that this is the first of four particular deescalation zones while they're still nailing out the final details so we're also looking at other key flashpoints in homs and see whether they can then come together and establish four of these particular zones who will be responsible for ensuring that this deal is carried out well as you know as you were at the us last in our peace talks this is very much a follow up of what was happening there so the guarantors will be turkey iran and russia at the moment this particular deal has been trashed out growth but in cairo by egypt those are the three countries that were the initial peace talks and then the country work together to ensure that this is guaranteed at this time and also looks like it's going to be a long road ahead and so how do they manage it. but on the political and militant group hezbollah as officially confirmed that it's fighting terrorists alongside the syrian army the syrian lebanese border.
5:07 pm
the operations taking place in our last stronghold along the border with lebanon the terrorist groups that have a military base there in a mountainous area inside syria islamic state has been moving closer to the arts refugee camp just across the border in lebanon there is also been a place of operation for the newsroom front of these early so you delves into the history of has been lost presence in syria. lebanon's hezbollah has long been fighting alongside assad government forces throughout the six year syrian civil war but for the first time the armed group is making it official. hezbollah claims it's driving isis terrorists as well as rebels out of the last
5:08 pm
foothold on the syrian lebanese border a mountainous region seen here on the map the green part here is controlled by al nusra and rebels and the black here by isis so far it sounds like just another development in the ongoing fight against terrorism in syria right so what's the big deal let's break it down. as well as presence in syria has always been a bone of contention as israel the u.s. and the arab league all view the group as a terrorist organization and levanon hizbollah a terrorist organization uses towns to shield itself of tens of thousands of illegal rockets its militias stand side by side with syrian troops as they slaughter the the syrian people. iran continues to support terrorism including palestinian terrorists and. hezbollah is a terrorist organization and they are currently. cross international
5:09 pm
loans in fighting in another country over it's no way trying to demonize a group that is fighting against west against american against israeli and saudi interests in the region. but not everyone categorized as hezbollah fighters as terrorists the list of those who don't include syria russia china and of course iran which funds it and helped create the group in the eighty's the russian. allies and they came here legally the supporters again the terrorists there are many politicians in the fight scenes because of the syrian army forces and those forces that are usually called pro-government including his which is supported by the iranians his blood is fighting alongside this. block against the terrorist groups
5:10 pm
the western media has proven that they were supported by western countries by the united states by saudi arabia and also by israel. so why is hezbollah being more brazen in syria all of a sudden they're using the flag. might be an attempt to assure the supporters of hezbollah that the fight will go on against the terrorist groups until the end looks like has both those waving its flags openly in syria as is feeling confident it's on the winning side meanwhile one of america's most senior generals has admitted that the u.s. presence in syria has little legitimacy saying that if russia played the legal current washington could be obliged to leave the country here's the conundrum we are operating in the sovereign country of syria. the russians they're there they're
5:11 pm
stalwarts they're they're back stoppers have already uninvited the turks from syria were a bad day away from the russians saying why are you still in syria us and it's it has come up in the form of some some close calls there but it'll be hard i defer to the lawyers in the crowd and others in terms international law on the basis for us staying there other than our c.t. writ we went there for all the righteous reasons but if the russians play that card we may want to stay and have no. ability to do it they could played out. just this morning jay says that ever more people are coming round to the dead that america's presence in syria actually violates international law. it's interesting that senior military officials on now sort of going renegade and i'm beginning to. show some disenchantment with donald trump's policy loose the actually legal basis for america being in syria is a very shaky one it's based on u.n.
5:12 pm
rules that were adopted in two thousand and five which argued in theory that she didn't necessarily need the u.n. security council agreement to engage yourself in military activity in another sovereign states to prevent what could be. harm or a war situation and i think the europeans particularly conscious of. the legal basis for america to be in syria. is really not very volatile. and more than one hundred. could be preparing to strike europe will bring you the details after this short break. let's say the seller industry is a job booster and california generates says of thousands of jobs new york tens of thousands of california is going to have a lot of jobs on the side where nobody is on this but they have a lot of desert obviously if they go solar they go
5:13 pm
a lot of job in texas and folks in texas going to say your ideology sucks we want to job this solar jobs you're out of office we're going to bring a folks to do it california's doing isn't that the way the modesty works in america . but i do think that archie is a propaganda arm of the russian government and helps to spread. information that helps advance russia's interest and so that's why i think it's important for people like me to come on if you want me would be somebody who is less capable who would maybe not do as good a job presenting the american point of view. comeback
5:14 pm

5:18 pm
we want to ensure that europe stays in europe this is what some people call racism . i think the european union should feel ashamed now they want to use sicily as a rallying point for disgusting racism that does not belong to our culture i know that our welcoming culture is disliked by european sashes but we won't give up we are not going to be silent in the face of this call to violence against desperate human beings these peoples need to buy history books we're not trying to provoke a situation where anybody's life is that risk so you're not attacking them i know we're not attacking migrants we're not going to attack the ngos we would just try to document what they're doing and we were. and to make sure that these n.g.o.s are not working as some kind of proxy for the human traffickers what happens if you see that someone's life is in danger we will also come and rescue them and what are you going to do one refugee on your boat well we will try to bring them to africa again
5:19 pm
. people of sicily have gotten used to migrants to the many n.g.o.s that have come here to help. and anti migrant n.g.o.s patrolling the mediterranean that is something most people here have never heard of so let's ask the locals about the concept what do you think of the n.g.o.s that are working in the mediterranean to help the migrants. i don't like doing what if this is right twinning n.g.o.s doesn't sound good this is the boat. the right wing activists will be on this boat they will be patrolling the mediterranean to make sure that there is no illegal migration and to make sure that the ngos don't break the laws what do you think about the good job like there is good and the opinion of the migrants. they don't want migrants here i mean. if
5:20 pm
they don't one migrants i mean they have to the make of. the sense that they say if they rescue migrants from the boat they will take them back to africa. but come on how can someone who is live i mean the middle of middle. africa that's the face i mean some people call them racists do you agree with that there's no racist groups already there's already too many people here. so there's no room for everyone or do you think that's racist i don't think so and i'm not against helping migrants but we should. national weather service in mount holly new jersey has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for north central newcastle county in northern

his love of red meat exotic meals fast food you name it it's true he's not like obama who reportedly only eats seven lightly salted almonds for a night snack others criticize the president's lack of obvious exercise dubbing him the least athletic president in u.s. history well maybe a more athletic build is the key to being popular and a few outlets have gone as far as to warn that trump's unique and often unscripted style of speech may be an indicator of mental health issues and many fell in love with obama because he was seen as a cool hip guy. which apparently is not the case with mr trump and that could be hurting him more than he knows because according to a recent poll that's how his predecessor scored high in approval ratings and that same poll shows that sixty five percent of those who disapprove of trump do so because of his personality this is a cultural issue they want
5:24 pm
a full strum. and joy because he represents in that sense the other side of the cultural differences and i said so it looks like america's champions of diversity disapprove of trump despite him being the man who arguably has made the presidency more diverse perhaps a few more hip trappings could help but probably not just in the washington d.c. . it wasn't all tale but that was when you see you at the top of the hour. it's called the feeling of freedom to. everyone in the world should experience freedom and you'll get it on the old rolls. the old according to a gesture. welcome to my world come along for the ride. i'm
