syrian medics say at least seventy people have been killed in a suspected chemical attack in duma in eastern goods a rescue workers posted videos of victims appearing to show symptoms consistent with a chlorine gas attack some appeared to have white foam around their mouths and noses syrian government sources deny being responsible it is the last rebel stronghold around the capital and is undergoing intense bombardment of the talks with rebels collapsed last week the u.s. state department has expressed deep concern over reports of the latest chemical attack to it was from the syrian american medical society which is on the ground in eastern goods it believes chemical weapons have been used in duma. we received from our medical teams and in some wards are one of those started receiving patients worth sometimes and the good of two uses of chemical we've burns mostly the chlorine were not sure yet because they're all the thing that we remember this by

the agents used in this attack is the symptoms that the. medical team is witnessing on the. within ten minutes six of the patients are right to the hospital by one of them is a woman. who started this evening news from her this weekend they cannot teach the area because they don't have the protection here and the area is under the bombardment by barrel bombs also the same any of the same idea which was contaminated by this of. now of the students and the firms confirmed that they found seven the bodies killed in this attack the number of patients that we received in our hospital seated five hundred people and we are still expecting that the number of the will exceed the seventy the. seventy people who are or are killed by a top former brazilian president lula da silva has turned himself into police to begin

his twelve year prison sentence for corruption i. earlier thousands of his supporters had prevented them from surrendering to authorities but instead the seventy two year old gave himself up just a day after defying a court order to do so last year little or was fun guilty of taking bribes from an engineering firm in return for helping the business get state contracts here's what lula told his supporters if you didn't make it i'm doing a very conscious very conscious thing i told the com rate that if it depends on my will i would not go but i will go i'm going because they will say tomorrow that is how to build way. you know i'm not hiding i'm going to go so they know i'm not a frame so they know i'm not going to run and i'm going to prove my innocence. joins us now from. the prison where we'll be flown to one of the expectations that

. is now in the air is taken off from sao paulo is less than an hour flying time to hear included i mean here a special cell has been prepared for him separate from the other prisoners fairly comfortable i think because of the imprisoned standards he will at least begin his twelve years sense and here this is the city where the. judge said your model has his base where much of the investigation the so-called car wash investigation into corruption across brazil has been sent. and being caught up in this massive investigation which has also brought down all the politicians right across the political spectrum senior business people as well lou the now himself very much a victim of those investigations as you saw that staying defiant right until the very end trying to negotiate his handing into the police very much on his.

defying the deadline on friday i think he will continue he says he's innocent of the charges against him that he's the victim of a political campaign to stop him running in the presidential elections he will still keep fighting as much as he can as far as he can from within that piece. when he was celebrating him going to prison many others still fighting on his behalf so maybe gone but i think he's going to keep fighting is i'm wondering what sort of impact this is likely to have on the political process. well i think it's going to be a huge impact i mean i think brazil is very much a divided nation whether his imprisonment exacerbates that division i think it is quite likely there are many here. on the streets. his detention they feel that he's in a. political conspiracy some people here are very very angry they feel that

democracy has been on the mind of the people leave a criminal he's been caught with his hand in the till and he should he should serve time. for. president. a couple of years ago they. put in prison they're very happy about that but that's nothing to heal the divisions in brazilian society that's going to take something else that's going to take continued investigations will have to see how. he decides to play things from inside his prison cell and of course what happens in the elections. to put his name forward for those elections the election then has to decide whether that's valid or not the likelihood is that they will decide to stand but then again we'll have to see how people react all right thank you for that. two people have died and several others have been injured after

a gifted photojournalist and documentary filmmaker in leaves behind a wife and a true year old child. and she has united everybody. in sorrow i mean mourning because he was so so gentle and so gifted and so dedicated journalists stood in solidarity with their dead and wounded colleagues this is not going to make us feel helpless or hopeless it will i think as it did before make us more determined and now will the syndicate has more tools at its hand to defend the rights of journalists to expose israeli actions and to attempt to hold it accountable in international forums so that's a new window of hope if you will that we didn't have before words of encouragement at a time when strength and fortitude may be needed more than ever before how much enjoyment
