People die in a cyclone hits fijcyclone that reaches 300 kilometers an hour hits fiji. A draft deal has been reached between the United States and russia saying that hostilities in syria should stop. The we have details now. And the detailed timeline which is going to be announced from high level diplomatic sources in the coming hours by the u. S. Secretary of state john kerry when we assume that they are the cochairs. So what is the timeline is that by midday on friday damascus time any party to the conflict, any group must by mid day friday damascus time say theyre prepared to take part in this cessation of hostilities and then 12 hours later the actual cessation is supposed to start thats midnight friday night going into saturday morning. The time theyre giving is damascus time if. In what sense is it at all enforceable. You have to get on the ground to agree. What theyre asking for is that they come up with a focal point. Someone who is responsible, someone who could contact in the event, and its very likely this would happen across syria given the intensity of fighting and the number of groups involved of the agreement. They also say that they have delineated the isil territory that is clearly marked on the map, and most of us know where that is if we look at the map of the current battlefield. Al nusra is spread over many areas, and theyre fighting along side some of the other rebel groups. One of the problems here is that the Russian Air Force may say its till targeting al nusra and could fact hit other Opposition Groups on the ground. I think there is a potential for problems here but certainly we now have a timeline in the coming hours for a cessation of hostilities. Were adding to that according to the diplomats, that were hoping that after the cessation starts after midnight going into saturday, that within seven days they can get those stalled peace talks in geneva going again. Thank you. Thats james bays in new york, the United States united state at the united nations. They say that the cessation of hostilities would an good idea. What is the take on how this is going to work, and why this coming friday . Well, it seems at the moment that all the information is coming from where james is. The russians are not saying much at all. But what we do no from the Foreign Ministry over the last couple of days that Sergei Lavrov and john kerry were having huge phone conversations on saturday and sunday. And it was fed back to their respective president , and the foreign i ministries were in complete agreement of how the cessation of hostilities might take place in syria. But it is worth pointing out there are a couple of things worth poisoning over. One has said theyll keep on their complain in campaign an. The other thing to remember here is that in the last few weeks or so there have been comments coming from Bashar Alassad which suggests that maybe he might not be on board with this totally. He has said recently he would like to keep push to go retake the whole of syria. Now he was sort of politely reprimanded by russias ambassador to the u. S. And suggests that many shut remember how much they have been involved. Nothing is violent. Actually delivered, rory, thank you. Thank you very much.

They have pulled out of the critical district in a very important province of helmand in southern, action. It means that within the past three days two districts in elman project which would seem to suggest that the taliban are gaining we should point out the spokesperson for th the defense telling al jazeera that it was parts of reorganization in preparation for an offensive against the taliban coming up in the days and weeks ahead. This Development Comes just one day before the government to the United States, pakistan, afghanistan and china are set to discuss the framework of peace talks with the taliban.

Is there anything, malcolm, to suggest that the allegations from people like him, the assertions from the former president of nigerian, that there were inconsistencies. Is there anything to suggest that is something of concern to the presiden the man who has been president for the last 30 years. Will he continue in that office . Should he be worried .

Well, you know, i was here yesterday and there was nobody here. There were just a few people inside the official camp. There are people setting up their tents. What happened is that the borders have been closing down not only the border between greece and macedonia, but the border between macedonia and serbia. We were in macedonia earlier in the day. Officials are saying its not our fault. Were just reacting to what syria did this causes panic among all refugees. Many left the reception center, which is 20 till meter 20 kilometers from here. Now theyre stranded here, and the afghans are making sure that no one goes through. What do they plan to do now . Well, they say theyre going to stay there and block not only the processing point.

They say that they know that this is harming greece, but they have no other choice. They made all those trips from afghanistan to here. I was talking with some young men just an hour ago, and they were saying, you know, we spent all our money on this. Were indebted. We cant go back. Unless the borders are not open for us again, then we will make sure to put as much pressure as we can.
