JOHN: IN OTHER NEWS, A FOURTH DAY OF DEADLY CLASHES IN WESTERN SYRIA IS TESTING THE COUNTRY'S NEW LEADERSHIP.

GOVERNMENT SECURITY FORCES ARE FIGHTING GUNMEN LOYAL TO OUSTED PRESIDENT BASHAR AL-ASSAD.

BUT HUMAN RIGHTS GROUPS SAY HUNDREDS OF CIVILIANS INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE ALAWITE MINORITY THAT WAS ASSAD'S BASE OF SUPPORT HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF REVENGE KILLINGS.

IN A STATEMENT, SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO SAID, THE UNITED STATES STANDS WITH SYRIA'S RELIGIOUS AND ETHNIC MINORITIES AND OFFERS ITS CONDOLENCES TO THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES.

SYRIA'S INTERIM PRESIDENT CALLED FOR PEACE AND SAID THE KILLINGS WOULD BE INVESTGIATED.

ISRAEL SAYS IT'S CUTTING OFF THE ELECTRICITY IT SENDS TO GAZA.

GAZA'S PLANTS THAT PRODUCE DRINKING WATER FROM SEA WATER ARE POWERED BY ELECTRICITY.

ISRAEL HAS ALREADY STOPPED ALL GOODS AND AID FROM ENTERING THE TERRITORY.

ISRAEL IS PRESSING HAMAS TO EXTEND THE FIRST PHASE OF THE CEASEFIRE THAT ENDED LAST WEEKEND.

HAMAS IS PUSHING TO START PHASE TWO NEGOTIATIONS.

NEITHER SIDE HAS BUDGED, BUT ISRAEL SAYS IT'S SENDING NEGOTIATORS TO QATAR ON MONDAY TO CONTINUE TALKS.

IN WASHINGTON, SECRET SERVICE OFFICERS SHOT A MAN BRANDISHING A GUN NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE EARLY THIS MORNING.

THE AGENCY SAID THE SUSPECT IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN SUICIDAL AND TO HAVE TRAVELLED FROM INDIANA.

MR. TRUMP HAS BEEN AT MAR-A-LAGO SINCE FRIDAY EVENING.

THIS WEEKEND MARKS 60 YEARS SINCE STATE TROOPERS BRUTALLY ATTACKED CIVIL RIGHTS MARCHERS ON THE EDMUND PETTUS BRIDGE IN SELMA, ALABAMA.

IT CAME TO BE KNOWN AS BLOODY SUNDAY.

PICTURES OF THE DAY'S VIOLENCE SHOCKED THE NATION AND STIRRED SUPPORT FOR THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965.

SUPREME COURT RULINGS OVER THE LAST DOZEN YEARS HAVE GUTTED KEY PARTS OF THAT LAW.

THIS PAST WEEK DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMAN TERRI SEWELL OF ALABAMA INTRODUCED A BILL TO RESTORE SOME OF THOSE PROVISIONS.

THE MEASURE HASN'T DRAWN ANY SUPPORT FROM REPUBLICANS, WHO CONTROL THE HOUSE.

STILL TO COME ON PBS NEWS WEEKEND.
