the familiar cycle of recriminations denials and calls for action has begun using language heard after last year's confirmed chemical attack in qana coom which killed more than eighty people the syrians and the russians called the allegations farcical and staged the russians offered to send their own experts to investigate and disprove the claims the united states called for an immediate end to the attacks and for the international community to respond it said russia was betraying its commitment to the u.n. and the chemical weapons convention people say life in dumas already difficult after weeks of intense fighting has become even more miserable. local officials say the russians negotiated a deal with the remaining rebel group duma jaish a slam buses began arriving to evacuate the fighters their families and anyone else who wanted to leave with recent gains by the syrian forces in the strategic town on

country from surrounding area and live a better life train up syrians to take on assad so we can negotiate in geneva from a position of strength if it becomes a twee without meaning then he's hurt himself in north korea if he doesn't follow through and live up to that he's going to look weak in the of a russia and iran so this is defining moment mr president you need to follow through that tweet show resolve that obama never did to get this right and a lot of movements at the united nations the u.s. france and other western allies have called for an urgent meeting of the security council to discuss this latest attack but russia continues to claim as does syria that the syrian government was not responsible for the attack and in effect in protest russia has also called for a meeting of the security council a second meeting to discuss what it describes as threats to world peace and in the last few hours some of the evacuees from duma have arrived in government controlled

parliamentary elections with nearly all of the votes counted or right wing anti immigration for days party won a third successive term in power and possibly another two thirds majority in parliament this gives him enough votes to continue controversial constitutional changes journal how as more from budapest. things could hardly have gone better for prime minister victor. the queues of voters that stretched long and late into the night were not a sign of an opposition fight back as some had hoped it stayed the ruling few days party picked up strong support in rural areas cementing another big majority win and a third consecutive term for mr all banned. in the past or ban has used his majority to alter the constitution changing the electoral system to favor a victory for food and curbing media freedoms some fear he wants to go further now threatening the independence of the judiciary and trouble is likely to beckon for

those who worked against him. some kind of retaliation towards the opposition parties and especially n.g.o.s i think what we will see is that on these n.g.o.s special the liberal n.g.o.s that operate in hungary and i think that to be the first reaction after the results because they will blame these n.g.o.s for haidar now in. the balance of power in parliament is largely unchanged and many hung will be bitterly disappointed according to the opinion polls there is probably a majority of people who oppose or ban and his brand of populist right wing nationalism amplified by xenophobia and even and to semitism but their efforts to unite a divided opposition to draw large numbers of people to the polls and to vote tactically have clearly failed. these are worrying times not just for liberal minded hungary and concerned about this country's pariah status in europe but for the leaders of

the e.u. as well who seem powerless to do anything about it jonah al-jazeera budapest. u.s. media are reporting that north korea has told u.s. officials it is willing to discuss the denuclearization of the korean peninsula the two countries have been in contact ahead of an expected meeting between kim jong un and president trump next month it'll be the first time a sitting u.s. president holds talks with a north korean leader. the president isn't missing out on seeing his favorite football team in action despite being locked up details on how he was enough has received some home comforts while in prison for corruption and money laundering ports on the southern city of. the silver spent the first full day of his twelve year sentence here at the federal police prison in could achieve a small crowd of supporters with a police guard protested nearby the t.v.

will keep all of us we believe he's the one to lead us out of the current crisis in brazilian politics. not just about punishing former president lula but all the brazilian people we are suffering the loss of the rights we fought so hard to achieve. the seventy two year old has been a huge beach ribs in politics for generations the president in two thousand and three to two thousand and ten and before that an opposition firebrand and union leader but now all sides in brazil's embattled political scenario will have to get used to life without the man the whole country simply knows as. the international criminal court says israel and hamas may have committed war crimes during mass protests in gaza thirty people including one journalist were killed and more than two thousand injured by israeli forces since the demonstrations began on march the thirtieth israel's defense minister told

reporters that all the protesters were linked to hamas and that smith has more from western receive them. israel's defense minister abdul lieberman says that all the activists trying to challenges in gaza are hamas military activists he says that everyone is connected to hamas everyone gets a salary from hamas in gaza all of course not everyone in gaza is connected to hamas but what the defense ministry is trying to do is continue the narrative that israel has tried to portray israel's government and israel's military that these are hamas led protests that these protesters are trying to breach the fence to invade israel to try and challenge israel's territorial integrity and so it's defending itself against that of course our reporters have seen on the ground from the side from the gaza side that essentially these protests are peaceful but the challenge for israel is that if it excepts the majority of peace people are protesting peacefully then there has to acknowledge the demands those protesters

are making the demands for a relaxation of the blockade over gaza a chance to allow exports from gaza a chance to allow people to travel more freely and expound fishing zones these are what people want to try and make life in gaza more bearable that's what still ahead on al-jazeera. running for their rights thousands from pakistan's pash to the community protest in the shower. and beginning their work is a controversial war on kenya's borders help to keep them safe from armed fighters. by the springtime flowering of a mountain leak. to the first snowfall on the wind speed. hello there the heat is building for us in china the winds are all feeding up from
