1:03 pm
is that among the hostages received no i don't mean which shows that it's either when the court invaded the village. to cross stitch this people or to pick people hostage they have either forcefully conscripted the other male population or they have escaped so basically. be the army saying that they have rescued these people after the firefight and now with they've taken moved costa used to a nearby hospital where they're being treated and profiled what does it say about boko haram strategy at this point they're trying to branch out into other areas and stretch the army. well that's not the pact now after the military declared victory the strongest of all quite empty seats in northeastern nigeria there was this warning that by kids from the infantry villages will try to melt into the larger
1:04 pm
community and probably this is what happened however what he's not stopped in is. whether or not these. are still inside some of these foreigners the army said it is but we can videos bible koran says they are still in control at least in some parts of the forest now we want to clear to you because you start getting community remember last week i think tried to go to talking communities killing a lot of people on the outskirts of the city a city that has been in their courses for a very long time so both want to. be defeated as we speak and there was even some i missed the triple crown of crisis in northeastern nigeria by the nigerian government as long as for what i am is prepared to run the weapons and quick the stage however has evolved into a very difficult problem to be dealt with by the nigerian army the army as it is now it's overstretched look at the northeast fight against bookings there has been
1:05 pm
quite infighting. is causing a lot of to do was after the skins some of these towns and cities were quite on the difficult task. quite i will not come back and at the same time the army is required also to help with other. than security services like the police can deal with the issues that keep not the grocery. attacks in kenya the issue of cattle farmers and cattle ranchers clashes in central nigeria. kidnappings and destruction of infrastructure in the south of nigeria. currently involved in nigerian army and people nigerians. wondering what is happening how much how many soldiers are there to deal with all this why is it the other agencies. are not up to the task or what and how would be nice you know i mean you with. regional
1:06 pm
issues like book one i'm fighting oh it's a pleasure to be fighting in the northeast of the country and then with all the. small fires all right we'll leave it there for now thanks so much ahmed three. the u.s. is calling for an international response against the syrian government if reports of a chemical attack on a rebel held area of eastern the halter are confirmed medics say dozens of people have been killed in the suspected gas strike in duma the government is calling it a fabrication chalmette us the latest we should warn you though you may find some of the images in the report to be distressing. window into what life is like in the rebel held in clave after image 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
1:07 pm
shelling started on friday the city was pounded with hundreds of is strikes and bombs as night fell on saturday civilians how down to zero they saw helicopters and then the first reports of suffocation came in. because of the nonstop shelling resistance had sheltered in their basements when the alleged gas attack happened they were trapped as a guest seeps through into the hideouts. building without dozens of modules you know yes in every single building we found dozens of them and most of them are women and children syrian state media and russia have denied the use of poison gas cooling on the few number of physicians and are moved to treat the on the work menu of families right now are taking shield and basements and using 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 taking from barrel
1:08 pm
bombs are getting docks acutely those chemical weapons and that's where the casualties are. syrian government forces stepped up their offensive on duma after a ten day truce collapsed with rebel group jaish al islam people. think yesterday without any food or water or electricity even the internet. we are finding an internet connection is very hard everyone here. is an example. if we are going to. be. the last twenty four a world that she will never stop. more than thirty three thousand people have left in the last five weeks including more than four thousand jaish al islam and their families. many doctors and nurses also at least those who remain in town to zero
1:09 pm
they are overwhelmed with few supplies and no outside support. charlotte dallas al-jazeera. of the u.s. state department said russia ultimately bears responsibility for the brutal targeting of countless syrians with chemical weapons russia's protection of the acid regime and failure to stop the use of chemical weapons in syria calls into question its commitment to resolve the overall crisis russia's defense ministry says the reports of a chemical attack are false according to statements published in the state media in moscow says we strongly deny these claims and announce our readiness to send russian experts in radiation chemical and biological defense to do master its liberation from terrorists to gather evidence which would prove the allegations on the chemical weapons use were staged tash of our name is monitoring events from
1:10 pm
amman in jordan joins us live from there it seems the russians have already drawn their conclusions before sending any such delegation to investigate what do we know sort of if we look at the the evidence objectively. well sammy we're in a familiar cycle of denials recrimination and calls for action i'll get back to that in just a little bit but you asked about the latest the numbers are expected to fluctuate right now the white helmets syrian civil defense group is saying forty two people confirmed dead but we have also seen reports of numbers as high as eighty five dead with about a thousand injured why are these numbers expected to fluctuate there is a very bad situation on the ground when you consider that there is a severe medical shortage of supplies and personnel one of the things that rescuers
1:11 pm
are dealing with right now is when you consider that there has been an ongoing constant bombardment for about the last twenty four hours it has reduced in terms of intensity but witnesses say it continues so it's making it dangerous for rescuers to get into buildings where as you've just seen entire families have been wiped out in their basements while attempting to seek shelter the second thing that's making it difficult for rescuers is that they simply do not have the protective gear that they need to safely go into these buildings they say that they are smelling a chlorine like odor if you saw the video you saw foam in the mouth or you may have seen foam in the mouths of those who have died perhaps a telltale sign of a chemical attack people on the ground are saying that they believe that the russians allies of the syrian government dropped barrel bombs with some sort of gas last night and as you also mentioned the russians and the syrians are denying doing so i do want to mention that witnesses are saying that the red crescent is in
1:12 pm
operable and the hospital is also in operable allegedly hit in airstrikes so again a very difficult situation in terms of being able to not only help those who are injured but to get a better tally of those who may have been killed this is a recurring pattern we've seen throughout the syrian war which is a medical facilities in opposition held areas being targeted making it very difficult to help those who survive. all right we'll leave it there for now thanks so much chemical attacks in syria have been documented by the u.n. chemical weapons investigators since the war began seven years ago the reports in duma come nearly one year to the day since a sarin gas attack on the verge of. live at least eighty three people died the u.s. responded by launching fifty nine missiles on a syrian air base near homs president trump said that's where the chemical attack
1:13 pm
was launched from doomer is in eastern a quarter where the most deadly gas attack during the syrian civil war happened in august two thousand and thirteen it's estimated up to one thousand people died as a result of sarin gas inspectors called it the deadliest use of chemical weapons since nine hundred eighty eight the un has documented more than thirty three incidents involving chemical weapons in syria since the reports began in two thousand and eleven syria and russia deny any use of poisonous gases during the conflict doctors in guards are struggling to treat hundreds of palestinians injured by israeli forces during friday's protests along the israeli border at least thirty palestinians have been killed by israeli forces since the protests began ten days ago hospitals have declared a state of emergency due to a severe shortage of supplies in a moment we'll be speaking live with hoda abdel-hamid at a hospital in gaza but first here's her report on the dire situation faced by
1:14 pm
patients and staff. this is an easy atmosphere in the ward the patients are in pain but this is silent worry of those around them that is will strike. but not in 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 worrying he has already lost his left leg in an accident a few years ago now his right one is at risk. he lost his leg because of the two governments we have one would agree to transfer him the other would refuse anyone who cares about us please help me get my son out of gaza he needs treatment to please help me save this leg. malays in the next bed in agonizing pain his mother is angry at all parties. living in gaza
1:15 pm
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 among 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 anesthesia 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
1:16 pm
a third of the equipment are lacking but the situation gets even further complicated by political developments as seventeen year old mohammed a sports lover was told that nothing more could be done here in gaza there are treating 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 people work is done by the israelis won't allow him to make did 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 failed 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
1:17 pm
a stretcher some will never fully recover. hoda abdel-hamid joins us now live from those hospital the indonesian hospital i think it is in gaza and so any sign of things getting easier for some of those patients as well as the staff there. no actually this hospital is exactly the same situation depicted in the report we had just going to give you an idea this is just one of the rooms and you have to understand that the whole hospital looks like this we have injured after injured now this young man was had received two bullets in his legs he needs further treatment he needs to get out of. gaza for that treatment but that the moment he won't be able to and then we have this young man who is also in that situation these two were quite close to the fence however in the bed next door there is young. here young amir he is only nineteen years old and
1:18 pm
actually he was not anywhere close to that no go zone he was watching for my father when he got hit by a sniper not what i showed you now is what you will see from room to room. patients suffering doctors working over hour to try to solve this situation certainly it is an emergency situation yesterday the health officials here in gaza have actually declared a state of emergency for the health system it is in overload and then you can also see probably in the pictures how much their relatives are worried about this. is a very troubling situation also troubling perhaps a statement spy israel's defense minister saying there's no innocent people left in gaza along those lines and surely that's sort of language only going to strengthen the criticisms of israel's handling of this. well i think it's the kind of rhetoric that gazans have grown used to but i have been here our team we have been going
1:19 pm
around from camp to camp on a daily basis we've been of the protests and what we have seen is actually entire families from from generation to generation grandparents their parents and their grandchildren sitting there asking for their right to reach or asking for the lifting of the book and we have actually heard a lot of criticism of the authorities here in gaza people pointing their fingers at him as putting also the blame on the palestinian factions and actually people were saying that we are we have been labeled as terrorist two million terrorists living in the gaza strip and they wanted to show that actually no they are not that they're that's one of the reasons they go to the border fence they are used to discussion of rhetoric but if you come here on the ground if you listen to what people say well they have their own opinion and they are actually simply complaining because as i said earlier people don't have a future anymore young children as young as seven or eight say why should i grew up
1:20 pm
i asked a young child why are you going so close to the fence you might die and he said i have nothing to get to lose my elder brothers are sitting at home they went to school they went to university does nothing for us that is the reality of gaza now the rhetoric i think people here are used to it the reality is different all right what are the honey from gaza. plenty more still ahead on the news hour including keeping kenya safe we look to why some believe a border war with somalia is the answer in sport the red bull that was out of control in qualifying for the bahrain grand prix and he's here with that story. gary and have begun voting in a parliamentary election following a heated campaign dominated by immigration prime minister viktor orban is seeking
1:21 pm
a third consecutive term that's despite claims of widespread corruption with his government has clashed with the e.u. over his anti immigration rhetoric and clamp down on civil society. through 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 parties a government or a prime minister that we're choosing for ourselves but a future is well voting is secret but i'll reveal that i voted for this two votes for this because i thought that was the safest bit let's take a look at the main contenders viktor orban has been in power since two thousand and ten the fifty four year old leader of the few days party is a firm nationalist his critics say rigged the electoral system and reduce the power of the press his nearest rival is the leader of the object party governor thirty nine year old has tried to make the former far right party more moderate and has tapped into anger against government corruption socialist party leader gogo kora
1:22 pm
chan started as a green party member and has been criticised for changing allegiance tackling child hunger is his top priority and peter mark is a is come from relative obscurity after defying the polls to hand over bans r.t. a huge loss in the may oral election. why john hall joins us now live from budapest to understand the turnout was high at the beginning how is it holding up now what does it mean for the elections. well i think according to opinion polls i mean it's still highly likely the victor all ban and few days his party will win this election they've been riding high the opinion polls up to now of course a high turnout would tend to favor the opposition. so it may well be that they don't win as assuredly as they did in two thousand and ten and two thousand and fourteen on both occasions of course winning a two thirds majority which viktor orban handily used to alter the constitution
1:23 pm
changing the electoral law making it harder to challenge at the big party of melting the media law making it harder for independent voices in the media to exist and he's threatening to go much further cracking down on n.g.o.s and civil society even eating into the independence of the judiciary now this is a country again according to the polls in which perhaps a majority of hunger in fact don't support feeders the ruling party but because they support a wide array of divided opposition parties there's no single party or candidate able to mount a serious challenge that said there is a degree of cooperation for the very first time going on among the parties as a degree of tactical voting there is that high turnout if it holds up of course that might favor the opposition so that in the end feeders may not win as big as they had hoped and that of course would be a blow to mr all ban and his project of of gaining ever deeper control over the institutions of state you know an election that critics say pits nothing less than
1:24 pm
hungary's a very democracy putting that at stake. is a lot at stake here not only four hundred but for europe as a whole right jonah. oh yes i think this is a big test again for the european union mr or ban has been happy to flout the rules and sort of the values of the e.u. for quite some time now he's built a big fortified fence around the on the southern border of his country a border the to be open of course he's rejected the quota system proposed by brussels for taking migrants he's run a campaign that has verged on hate speech and anti semitism aimed at the billionaire george soros who accuses of wanting to flood the country with migrants and refugees and of course where he leads others attempted to follow notably poland and all of this is happening with relative impunity because of the very makeup of the e.u. itself so if that were to continue with these demographic abuses were to continue with another big win for mr or beyond that of course would put pressure on the e.u.
1:25 pm

1:26 pm
