(The Guardian) US, Russia agree Syria ceasefire – AP
--The Associated press is citing US officials as saying the US and Russia have reached an agreement for a ceasefire in southwest Syria to take effect on 9 July at noon Damascus time.

The news came as Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin were continuing their talk at the G20 summit in Hamburg. AP said the officials spoke on condition of anonymity.

The deal marks a new level of US involvement in trying to resolve Syria’s civil war. The two countries have backed opposing sides in the war.
