Now it's time for a look at stories dominating headlines across the world and for that we turn to our Ro Aram…
Aram… what do you have for us today?
Good morning Mark… well today we start with the aftermath of President Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria after he declared victory over the Islamic State terrorist group.
He took to twitter on Thursday to defend the move after he faced strong backlash from fellow Republicans and some U.S. allies.
He posted that getting out of Syria was no surprise as he has publicly campaigned on it during his presidency.
He added that he had waited long enough and that it was time to "come home & rebuild."
Some Republicans fear the withdrawal will cede U.S. influence in the region to rivals Russia and Iran.
Several U.S. allies were also bewildered by Trump's claim that ISIS was defeated and are concerned the absence of American troops may cause ISIS to remerge.
The Kurdish militia, which is part of the U.S.-led coalition in Syria, said Trump's decision had "dangerous implications for international stability."
The UK and several other allies questioned Trump assessment that ISIS was defeated, as pockets of fighters remain.
