shelling started on friday the city was pounded with huh. of strikes and bombs as night fell on saturday civilians told al-jazeera 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 a guest seeps through into the hideouts of the building without dozens of modules 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 number of casualties many of families right now are taking shield and basements and using indorse you know chemical weapons like chlorine or some objects by the fact that this gas goes

down to the basement and those people or taking from barrel bombs are getting. 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 i. think yesterday without any food or water or electricity even the internet. we are finding an internet connection is very hard everyone here. this is an example every time you don't vote every hour with. the last twenty four hour this really never stopped. more than thirty three thousand people have left in the last five weeks including more than four thousand jaish al islam faxes and their families. many doctors and nurses also had left

those who remain tell al-jazeera. they are overwhelmed with few supplies and no outside support. now russia says the reports of the chemical attack our faults the defense ministry says the spread of bogus stories about the use of chlorine and other poisonous substances by syrian government forces continues yet another such fabricated piece of information about an alleged chemical attack in duma appeared yesterday we have warned several times recently against such dangerous provocations their aim of such deceitful speculation lacking any kind of grounding is to shield terrorists to justify possible external uses of force. joins us now from washington d.c. in talking about external uses of force the u.s. said there should be some response what kind of response is the u.s.

considering what it was a very interesting statement from the state department spokesperson it begins as you might expect these reports if confirmed are horrifying and demand an immediate response by the international community as you mentioned but then it goes on to attack russia more than half of the state is simply attacking russia we are solid regime and its backers must be held accountable russia with its support for the regime ultimately bears responsibility for these brutal attacks targeting of countless civilians and the suffocation of syria's most vulnerable the united states calls on russia to end this unmitigated support and work with the international community group went further barbaric have a weapons attack as you mentioned russia in terms of long with syria that the syrian government was not responsible for this chemical weapons attack we have got another administration response just in the last few minutes the u.s. security advisor the white house homeland security adviser appeared on a sunday morning political talk show he was asked about the attack and he said quote the u.s. won't take anything off the table and quote in response to give her all right she

has a tendency in washington d.c. . mood is a spokesman for the syrian white helmets i spoke to him in the last hour via skype and started by asking him what evidence they had to show it was a chemical attack. holland we have a lot of the jews documented and. published the tell myths and there is a statement. this morning by the way helmets. this is. sort of a clarification the more details of what has been done on duma the time i am and the effects the consequences how children and women have been affected also we have thought they'd use regarding the arrival of the word to the places and this is billions in their houses regime you know the regime's line they

say that you're falling victim basically to a fabrication by some of the opposition groups how do you respond to that how do you know this is not the first time the regime said it's a regain. the red lines or was that. just didn't go to a lot of people have been targeted. civilians were killed by a serene. and said i'm ok and i would be in other so many areas that it's a little tough there are a lot of targets into other cities in syria. and in. targeting the people there also last year and this year so many good things have happened and so many people have been targeted regina still say it is a fabrication we need to verify things the international.

fact finding committee has to. go. and to see whether on going by emotion that women are in and chlorine have you seen any sort of symptoms that might indicate that this was either a. an attack now that i know about yes we have seen. we have this we have seen a lot of things we have. been evacuated after being. well the u.s. president has just tweeted on this issue saying quote many dead including women and children in mindless chemical attack in syria area of atrocity is in lockdown encircled by syrian army making it completely inaccessible to outside world

president putin russia and iran are responsible for backing animal asaad big price so again these are the words of the u.s. president donald trump tweeting just moments ago indicating clearly that he thinks a was a chemical attack be it was carried out by the or include least the syrian army which is encircled the area and he is saying that a price will be paid naming president putin of russia iran as well as the syrian president bashar al assad will bring you more on this as we get it but clearly the stakes getting higher and higher in this conflict there in syria and what's been happening particularly in duma well and the open heimer is a biological and chemical weapons pressure misty joins us now via skype from brighton in the u.k. good to have you with us as i was saying the stakes getting higher from what we've seen a war you've seen so far is it possible to draw any conclusions yet. based on the

reports that have come in and the symptoms are tall said of the injuries in that this looks like it may well our an attack again we exactly one year on trauma terrible draw on the same similar area and that this may also involve chlorine as well from the burning of our eyes and the sarin symptoms don't point towards to kill a nerve agent suffocation foaming american of course because of suffocated in some of various some places several dozen people died as well from about. the fact that there are indications at least that as you mentioned sarin is being used floor and may have been used does that say anything in terms of who might have that capability there. will syria the state was supposed to declare and actually

dismantled under the auspices of the o.p.c. w all of its chemical warfare agents including any kind of. way back in two thousand and fourteen by the middle of the year this did not include chlorine which is a weapon of mass destruction if it's used in a war context but it's also a common chemical so it's something that is so widespread with sarin how it would suppose to been dismantled back in two thousand and fourteen and if any stocks unless well then what was the catch some back which they didn't declare but are we talking about materials that rebel group non-state actor of some sort can develop and stock easily or does this really suggest that it requires some higher degree of sophistication well a lot of bombard people with that there would have to be. there are evidence that there are examples of terrorists particularly isis those have. they've used

chlorine mainly in their i.e.d. and also work some examples of them using homemade mustard each but so far definitely not this is a kind of a step on the nerve agent group of chemical warfare agents is a step ahead the mode of delivery also other than if it was just kind of makeshift makeshift i.e.d. so mortars well there's already had a look at so many of the examples of these over these past number of years particularly the previous trial months from last april they have shifted their p.c. took the reported back to so that this was sarin and that it would be a state actor that would. say that these people are being bombarded mainly from the. it's of anything of the syrian forces have done worse or

i thank you very much for your analysis of that and the open heim of. thank you sir ian state media say the last rebel group holding out against a government offensive near damascus there has reached a deal to end the fighting and leave jaish al islam controlled doomer in the northeastern part of the water the greenman will see the remaining fighters and their families leave for job loss which is on the border with turkey in northern syria. over name is monitoring events for us from our man in jordan joins us live from there so that's what we're hearing from syrian state television has it been confirmed by all sides to this supposed deal. no jaish al islam has yet to confirm this let's give people a little bit of context it's the last remaining rebel group in duma which is on the outskirts of the capital and therefore a very strategic location and what's happened in recent weeks is that jaish alice

lamb also called the army of his slam has really suffered greatly its loss fighters in recent weeks four thousand of its fighters and their families have departed as part of an evacuation deal its last allies last week to other rebel groups reach evacuation deals with the russians allies of the syrians and that was about nine hundred thousand people evacuated and left for live so with limited options and major advances by the syrian government after a ten day truce fell apart days ago it's clear that jaish al islam is in a very difficult spot what we're hearing from the syrian government and a civil society group is that they have reached a kind of a deal but that first and foremost before any future negotiations and a final deal can be reached the syrian government is saying that it told us land that it needs to release its hostages first and that that is the primary goal

now for slam and others who have already been forced to evacuate they're saying that what the syrian government and its allies are asking them to do is tantamount to forced displacement but at this point it appears that the syrian government's goal of really gaining the strategic location of duma is definitely within reach. all right bringing us the latest on that one is natascha will name. the nigerian army says it's rescued one hundred forty nine hostages held by boko haram in borno state that's in the northeast of the country where women and children were being held in the village of the automatic quarter nigerian soldiers killed three of the fighters they say on them and idris now joins us from a boat just first of all of what we know about these people have been rescued well

basically looks like villages of villages or residents of your macor a village in northeastern nigeria and. from what the army saying they want a military operation and then they encountered backcourt on fighters remember not all villages in the know these are protected by the army the army is overstretched walking different parts of the northeast which is a vast territory by the way that includes both to care about what law and your best expect the concentration of fighting is actually in the state of the northeast bottle and your baby as well as adam a stake so the army said anything counsel with these fighters they opened fire on the military patrol and then they responded killing three of them and arresting five of them then they lit a fire and out that they have been holding. of around fifty four women and ninety five children in the village of them according to my record who would they have now evacuated to

a hospital receiving treatment and are profiling them it wasn't long ago that the nigerian authorities said boko haram had been destroyed at least in this stronghold what does this tell us about the ability of the harm and their strategy. over the last two and a half years since the nigerian government made the declaration which of course by the way many nigerians were not comfortable with we've seen the choir and i got to several strategies yes they have been a period of quiet in terms of book what i'm such a book what i was attacks in northeastern nigeria but over the last two months we've seen how we have sort of stepped up their operations and this include a different mode of attacks there we've seen them attacking military positions attacking civilian targets and touching military and civilian convoys on the highways as well as taking people hostage not only in schools but also in towns and villages and not very well protected by the security forces so vocal has proved

over the last two and a half years to be a resilient for despite governments dickel ration despite militaries stepped up operations against them despite them losing territory they have captured in the last four five years five years back we've seen them abduct a situation we've seen them displaced from some of the forests they have because from all but yet they continue to target isolated and vulnerable communities in the north east of nigeria and also if you look at look back at the last one which was when book was launched daring attacks on the city of my degree although they were repelled but they meditate mistake that we still around all right i mean the drinks that. plenty more ahead on the news hour including a state of emergency in gaza with hospitals struggling to treat hundreds of people injured in protests. in greece prime minister seeks

a third straight. dominated by immigration. is born in some surprise guest inspired final win for one of ice hockey is most famous families. israel's defense minister avigdor lieberman has spoken out about the violence in gaza saying there are quote no innocent people in the occupied strip israeli forces have killed thirty palestinians during protests along the israel gaza border that began ten days ago thirteen hundred palestinians have been wounded by live israeli fire palestinians plan to hold protests against israeli occupation forces for the next five weeks. bernard smith joins us now live from west jerusalem so bernard there's already been criticism of israel's handling of the situation there in gaza i guess these comments comments by a big old woman not going to go very far in assuaging international concern.

you know some of the lord lieberman's also said that everyone is connected to hamas everyone gets a salary for everyone in gaza gets a salary from hamas he said all the activists in gaza trying to challengers are hamas military activists those people approaching the fence well not everybody in gaza is paid by hamas but of course what lieberman is doing is continuing a narrative that the israeli government and military have tried to contain to maintain since the protesting garza erupted and that is a narrative that says that it does hamas that is leading these protests it is hamas that is responsible for these protests they're trying to launch attacks on israel trying to breach the friends to attack israel and so israel is rich responding by trying to protect its territorial integrity and sovereignty of course we know from our reporting that most of the protesters there are peaceful yes some people been

throwing stones and the israelis say some people been throwing petrol bombs but the question then as the e.u.'s said is is it proportional to respond to that with live fire that kills or can main people cripple them for life sunny or a burner smith thanks for that or doctors in gaza struggling to treat hundreds of palestinians injured by israeli forces during friday's protest along the israel border hospitals of declared a state of emergency due to a severe shortage of supplies at least thirty palestinians have been killed by israeli forces since demonstrations began last week. three years she is the gaza director of the united nations relief and works agency joins us now from garza good to have you with us now the sort of stories we're hearing is that some of the hospitals in gaza simply don't have the supplies they need to treat people who have been wounded what's stopping them from getting supplies in. good afternoon to

you and i don't know the exact situations in the hospital in the hospital explorer because they are being managed by the local authorities in my understanding part of the problem is to get urgent medical supplies in that's one second one and would rise helping with that is to get in fuel for the generators as you would know part of the problem here in gaza is that we have limited electricity supplies of four to maximum six hours a day and the hospitals are struggling simply to work without the fuel supplies is the main issue in addition to just simply the sheer numbers of people overrunning the hospital capacities or let's talk about the things you off a million with and if you're helping to get supplies like fuel in always seeing people lose their lives or losing limbs because of a lack of supplies in some cases you know causing a situation which otherwise could have been dealt with. i have not

heard examples of that meaning people losing their lives because of the shortages what i have heard is that regular people patients in hospitals are being delayed in their treatment so it's not life threatening at this point but obviously the warri is if this continues at some point the capacities may be overstretched to a level where it will impact on lives but to the best of my knowledge that so far has not happened right this is clearly an emergency that you're struggling to deal with anon wondering wasn't long ago that you had a funding cut from the u.s. trumpet ministration is that impacting your ability to operate at a time like this. yes for sure or are you i let me first of all say that is responsible for providing core services including basic health care throughout twenty two health centers to one point three million palestinian refugees here in gaza. which is about seventy percent of the population

are for the moment our health centers our schools our core services are up and running but of course with things declining including because of what's happening at the fence in the fence area in the border area our services are beginning to see also people coming for example to the health centers asking for initial first aid and support and so if this continues we will for sure also struggle now my what big warry because of the funding cuts you have mentioned is for the second half of the year at this point we cannot guarantee that we can continue food distribution to a million people as of july and we cannot guarantee that our schools and health centers will be open as of september so that adds to the anxiety that adds to people's determination in terms of doing something in the form of political brawls says protests i have heard many times people say we just have nothing to lose and

we will go to the fence. thank you very much for your perspective on that in the theist's molly. time to catch up with some weather in north america can't shake that winter rob well you remember in the middle of winter to the north pole effect we moved into arctic counter temperatures really dropped just hasn't left so the problems extend when this cold air still sitting over it can do extends further south for example into trying to this is snow you might think ok snow in toronto but remember we are you know we're beyond the first week in april it's not unprecedented buddies unusual temperatures should not be anywhere near zero this is the start of the canadian spring in reference to see search degrees in about a month's time should be about seventy now clearly that's not the case this is cold and gloomy weather and extends throughout where most people who live in counties near the border with the u.s. look at these temperatures currently they may not seem spectacular let me just show you what they should be the comparison is in. saskatoon twenty below where it

should be toronto fourteen below where it should be halifax nova scotia seven below where it should be so that cold air is really making its presence felt and with feeding cloud into in a way the place is not of course means rain wrapped returns to stow in canada and across the border in the u.s. in fact we've got yet more coming in here this it'll from here this system which caused a lot of rain in san francisco seventy national park closed as the weekend is going to bring more snow across the plains states and probably across illinois and eventually heading towards washington in the next two days something. so much for a while still had allowed to zero keeping kenya safe we'll look at why some believe a border war with somalia is the answer plus. i'm scott hi there in shanghai where one organization is teaching about the damage of plastics because the nearby yangtze river puts the most plastic in the world's oceans than any other river. and

questions being posed in this city in this country about how such a thing could actually happen how an individual who had been experiencing for some time psychiatric problems who had a fascination for weapons who police say they found fake weapons and other items in his home how that person was able to do what he did the point also to make is as i say the sense of grief in this city the sense of questioning how could it happen what does it say about the situation of the security situation in germany the federal interior minister who was here has said it's not possible for this country to provide one hundred percent security against people what he would describe as lone wolves individuals who are not connected to anybody else and who carry out and wish to carry out such incidents. german police haven't released many details about the driver but the attackers turned the spotlight on media coverage

of such incidents and the use of the word terrorist for more on this we're joined by harry browne from the center for critical media literacy he joins us on skype from dublin good to have you with us so looking at media coverage so far of this event and comparing it to other attacks. would you say it's fair to say that the seems to be more cautiousness on the part of the media about using and framing this is a terrorist attack i think so and i think that was led to some extent by german police inevitably there was speculation immediately after the incident sami that there was a terrorist involvement but it's interesting the word has been slow to be used in light of the. the apparent kind of lone wolf nature of this attack and monster. it hasn't always been the case from research that you know oh go ahead. no that's right i mean we know yeah i know we're sorry to cut across you there we know from

research that's just recently been published in the united states by the institute for social understand its policy in understanding that the media is prone to pay much more attention to incidents up to seven times more attention to plots an instance where the perpetrator is perceived to be muslim than when the perpetrator who may be ideologically motivated but isn't perceived to be muslim so that we have a an issue with media that the word terrorism tends to be reserved for incidents that are perceived to be associated with islamic extremism and the also that the media coverage follows that word your the attention indeed that al-jazeera is paying to to the incident in germany yesterday is unusually high i think it must be said that by and large this has not been a major international story in the last twenty four hours why is that is that a cultural thing or is it perhaps the influence of the opinions over views of some of the editors just to give an example owners of the media in january tenth two

thousand and fifteen you may recall rupert murdoch tweeted most muslims should be held responsible for violence even if they're peaceful and wondering when the views of your boss a like that and go public does that kind of impact the way you work in the newsroom . well you said it yourself so i mean i think there's no doubt that people do follow the views of elites and of their own bosses for sure there's also the fact that international terrorism is one of the is in some respects the major story of the twenty first century so we have a tendency in news to like to tell stories that attach themselves to narratives that people already understand whether it's an editor reporter or an audience we know this terrorism concept this islamic terrorism concept and when a story fits with that concept that story is easier to tell it's consonant with the concept that doesn't make it right though so i mean you know we know from research that's been done in the united states my own student here in dublin. has been doing

research with young muslims in our land and it's clear that for young muslims in particular this kind of media coverage is deeply alienating it makes them feel mistrustful of the media and it contributes to an atmosphere of kind of fear and misunderstanding between muslim communities and other communities in the west good to get your analysis of that thanks so much ari brown thousands of people from pakistan's pashtun community are attending a rally in push our to demand rights and protection for the minority group the pashtoon protection movement wants government accountability for the way they've been treated the group says thousands of this appeared over the izzo been the targets of extra judicial killings. the pashtoon well they're pakistan's second biggest ethnic group making up fifteen percent of the two hundred seventy million population have along have long been the targets of military operations internal
