Here is a brief look at Press TV newsroom's headlines from 18:00 GMT, November 20, 2017 to 08:00 GMT, November 21, 2017:

Daesh's territorial rule comes to an end

The liberation of Bukamal town from Daesh has brought the curtain down on the terror group in Syria. The border town, recaptured by government forces, was Daesh’s last stronghold in Syria. Press TV’s correspondent Mohammad Ali says the Syrian army is now busy cleaning the town of booby traps and chasing terrorists who fled to nearby villages. 
Saudi Arabia’s aerial campaign against Yemen shows no sign of abating as warplanes carry out fresh deadly strikes on the impoverished nation. 

Saudi deadly strikes on Yemen

Three people, including a woman were killed when Saudi jets bombarded Sa’ada province. Another raid targeted a vehicle in Hudaydah province, leaving at least nine people dead and three others wounded. Saudi Arabia’s devastating war on Yemen has claimed over 13,000 lives since 2015.

The state of Zimbabwe

The top Zimbabwean general has confirmed that President Robert Mugabe and his ousted deputy Emmerson Mnangagwa will hold talks to resolve the ongoing political crisis in the country. 

Chiwenga added that talks aimed at finding a definitive solution and designing a roadmap for the country have already started. Mnangagwa’s sacking and his fleeing to South Africa two weeks ago triggered unrest. Mnangagwa’s planned return to Zimbabwe comes as the ruling party is putting in motion impeachment proceedings against Mugabe for allegedly allowing his wife to usurp powers. Mugabe has ignored calls for resignation as well as the ultimatum to step down or face impeachment. The 93-year-old president remains under house arrest after last week’s military takeover. But the army rejects accusations of staging a coup.

US war in Afghanistan

Iran’s permanent representative to the United Nations says the world doesn’t feel safe anymore after the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. 

Gholamali Khoshroo said the deteriorating security situation in Afghanistan is continuation of a process that was created after the US invasion of the country. Khoshroo pointed to rising terror incidents and violence in the war-ravaged nation. He called on the international community to help Afghanistan fight terrorism. The Iranian diplomat also stressed on the importance of regional cooperation, calling it a key tool to maintain stability in the Asian country. Insecurity has gripped Afghanistan ever since the US and its Western allies invaded the country under the pretext of a war on terror. Many parts of the country still remain plagued by militancy despite the presence of thousands of American troops there.
