another suspected chemical attack in syria at least seventy people have been killed in eastern guta. shall carry this is al jazeera life and also coming up. a value to fight for his country and raise prime minister six of the earth straight term as the country heads to the polls. i. confront and celebrations as brazil and brazil rather as the former president will to sober up again serving a prison sentence for corruption. i just don't understand why the law abiding citizens will be punished the holiday resort that's been called a cesspool now its residents have new concerns.

the u.s. is calling for an international response against the syrian government for ports of a chemical attack on a rebel held area of eastern canada are confirmed medics say at least seventy people have been killed in a suspected gas strike in tumour the government is calling it a fabrication as airstrikes on the area continue shelob l.s.s. the latest and a warning you may find some of the images in this report distressing was. a window into what life is like in the rebel held in clave a dream of children mothers fathers struggle for oxygen after a suspected chemical attack. reporters cannot get into the town civilians cannot get out so internet videos are the only evidence of the suffering. government shelling started on friday the city was pounded with hundreds of is strikes and bombs as night fell on saturday civilians hold on to zero they saw helicopters and

then the first reports of suffocation came in. because of the nonstop shelling residents had sheltered in their basements when the alleged gas attack happened they were trapped as the gas seeps through into the hideouts syrian state media denied any use of poison gas as fast on you number of physicians and. you treat the number of casualties men your family is right now are the shield and basements and use indorse you know chemical weapons like chlorine or some of those by the fact that this gas goes down to the basement and those people or from barrel bombs are getting. those chemical weapons and that's where the casualties are i. was syrian government forces stepped up their offensive on duma after a tame day truce collapsed. people. today we don't any feel

or need to speak even the internet. we are finding an internet connection very hard everyone here. is an example everything about you don't but every dollar you can. get. the last twenty four a world that she never stopped. a russian brokered ceasefire had allowed for three waves of evacuations with more than four thousand fighters and their families leaving duma a fourth convoy was meant to leave on thursday but neither did many doctors and nurses lifted earlier evacuations those still lift herbs open the crisis with few supplies and no outside support charlotte dallas. the u.s. state department had this to say russia ultimately bears responsibility for the

brutal targeting of countless syrians with chemical weapons russia's protection of the assad regime and failure to stop the use of chemical weapons in syria calls into question his commitment to resolving the overall crisis is fine as a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general he says sanctions are needed against russia which is backing the government. well i think there are. a menu of possible retaliatory measures that could be taken by the west the united states see europe could list i believe russia as a state sponsor of terrorism based not only on the complicity of few with the cole belligerency with syria in using chemical weapons in syria but also now we have a second incident in great britain where it seems quite clear that russia used chemical warfare to kill or at least attempt to kill two or three of its expatriates and that would pose very very strict economic

sanctions against russia stricter than those that have been posed after ukraine. it's a very grim prospect but it may well be that the only way you could deter additional uses of chemical weapons because a one strike affair didn't do anything when it was attempted about a year ago by mr trump. is to threaten to arm mr assad's opponents with chemical weapons so it's like a nuclear weapons doctors in gaza are struggling to treat hundreds of palestinians entered by israeli forces during friday's protests along the israel border hospitals have declared a state of emergency to a severe shortage of supplies to tell it meet reports from a hospital in gaza. this is an easy it was fear in the ward the patients are in pain but this is silent worry of those around them that is most right. not is

the hoody cannot contain his despair he has three sons all three mean to protest yet is the last one to be injured and his condition is the most worry he has a really lost his left leg in an accident a few years ago now his right one is at risk. if you know when. he lost his leg because of the two governments we have one would agree to transfer him and the other would refuse i call on anyone who cares about us please help me get my son out of gaza he needs treatment to please help me save this leg. medleys in the next bed in agonizing pain his mother is angry at all parties. living in gaza is like living in a sealed box she says they only care about themselves. a man was among the first to arrive at the hospital on friday it was early in the day many more would follow the

sheer number of injured putting stress on already fragile system dr ayman sahab and he says it's now bursting at the seams. we declared a state of emergency and once his who carrying three or four patients who this time had three hundred cases in one day has fifteen times more than the capacity of the emergency unit and we've used all our stock. most injuries are in the lower part of the body external fixators for limbs antibiotics anaesthesia and other necessities have run out or are in short supply getting anything into gaza requires a lengthy and complicated process under normal circumstances the health system suffers from shortages about half of the drugs needed and a third of the equipment are lacking but the situation gets even further complicated by political developments because seventeen year old mohammed a sports lover was told that nothing more could be done here in gaza there are

train his leg is torn and he's losing a lot of blood he needs to be transferred to the occupied west back the hospital there is waiting the paperwork is done by the israelis won't allow him to make the journey no one has been able to get out since the protests began. listens for my tears roll down his cheek and hope is all but gone. there's no solution each time they make us dream of reconciliation fails my generation has lost the one after me that's why we go to the. friends to express the misery we live in. it's that sense of hopelessness that continues to draw do you think the words do border fence many might come back on a stretcher so we'll never fully recover without that jaimie. they can voting in a parliamentary election following

a hated campaign tom an agent by immigration the prime minister viktor orban is seeking a third consecutive term that is despite claims that widespread corruption within the government is clashed with the e.u. over his anti immigration rhetoric and clamp down on civil society. what's at stake well we've already said everything about that what's at stake is the future of hungary it's not only the government who are prime minister that we're choosing for ourselves but a future is well voting is secret but all reveal that i voted for two votes for this because i thought that was the safest bit take a look at the main contenders now viktor orban has been in power since two thousand and ten fifty four year old leader of the fidesz party is a fierce nationalist as critics say he has read the electoral system and reduced the power of the press his nearest rival is a leader of the job a party. of a thirty nine year old has tried to make the former far right party more moderate and has tapped into anger against a government corruption socialist party leader corage on started as

a green party member and has been criticized for a challenge changing allegiance that is tackling child hunger is a top priority and pater marcus a has come from relative obscurity after defying the polls to hand or party a huge loss and it may oral election john hall has more from budapest. hungary's election is likely to return viktor orban to a third consecutive term in power his feet as party consistently polls in the lead as much as anything else because of a divided opposition on the left and the far right that has found it impossible to cooperate with each other reducing the chances of a meaningful challenge what will be watched extremely closely however is whether he is able to regain the absolute majority that he's used in the past to alter the constitution to change the media laws the electoral law gradually over time reducing the boyce's of dissent in the press and in civil society this is

a country in which a majority of voters probably don't support the government but probably aren't able to beat it at the ballot box this is a country in which corruption is rife in which public services in health and education are crumbling but in which the public discourse is dominated by stories of fear and hate put out by the state run media to do with refugees to do with george soros the billionaire philanthropist and to do with outside meddling powers it is a system that viktor orban has built he calls it a liberal democracy basically nationalist values over individual freedoms but his critics call it simply authoritarianism the former president every cell always laughing a little to sell their hands again has well the air prison sentence for corruption and of the president the city courts have on saturday supporters protested other celebrated saying the guilty should pay for their crime tangles hi melissa. louis

did not go down without a fight but he is now in police custody he has now begun his twelve year one month sentence on corruption charges and money laundering charges that he's innocent of he says he's the victim of a political conspiracy to stop him running in october's presidential elections elections that he and many of his supporters say that he was likely to health one that now won't be the case but he has said he will keep fighting from within his police cell here in this city in the southern city of could achieve again he gave himself up very much on his terms he missed the deadline on friday set by the investigating judge sergio moral but he made sure that he had lunch with his family and attended a ceremony to mark his late wife who died last year and then he addressed many hundreds of supporters outside the base of the metal workers union in the city of of sao paolo a city which is very much his heartland but the crowds will not shoot because it

became clear he was going to hand himself in to the police many in brazil also began celebrating they feel that he should should serve the sentence for crimes that they believe he did commit it just sets an example in brazil which is at the moment going through sweeping investigations into corruption right across the political spectrum and into business has now begun that twelve year sentence it feels like the end of an era so add on al-jazeera. keeping kenya safe we'll look at why some believe a border wall with somalia is the answer. plus me to be creating a golden future in afghanistan. from the clear blue sky of the doha mooney. to the fresh autumn breeze in the city of la. where it's been the warmest day of the year so far this weekend
