CABRERA: The United States and the Taliban have struck a seven-day deal to reduce violence in Afghanistan, including roadside bombs, suicide bombs, and rocket attacks. This is according to a senior administration official. And that official says the truce has not yet gone into effect but would take effect very soon. Some analysts are skeptical though, they worry a lull in fighting could be a chance for Taliban forces to secure a battlefield advantage. In Syria, this weekend, the country's military is claiming one of its helicopters was shot down by Turkish-backed fighters near the city of Aleppo, killing the entire crew. This is the second time in a week that a Syrian helicopter was shot down in that area where Turkish and Russian backed Syrian forces are fighting. The United Nations says some 800,000 civilians have fled Idlib and Western Aleppo just since December. CNN's Senior International Correspondent, Arwa Damon is the only Western journalist in that region right now.</s>ARWA DAMON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (on-camera): There are makeshift camps like this that you find throughout these rolling hills that are very close to the border with Turkey because this is where people think they might be able to find some sort of refuge, 800,000 people have been on the move since December.
