5:03 am
in tents airstrikes by the syrian government and its allies began on saturday. when this is report of barrel bomb with some sort of gas being dropped we were trying to. bring in shelters but when the city was hit but the. and there was no height and people became sort of fights scared on prison rescuers say they're struggling to get to the survivors and retrieve the bodies of the dead because of a strong fluorine like smell they don't have the protective gear they need the health care system in duma has been decimated. unfortunately would deliver the number of medical suffering not sticking to. the sometimes and the treatment and shoot people and we've seen people. have seen people should dying with you to get treatment it's reported that ambulances and a hospital were hit by airstrikes and the red crescent can no longer operate
5:04 am
leaving a small team of medical professionals with scarce supplies to tend to the injured 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 un 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 al islam buses began arriving to
5:05 am
evacuate the fighters their families and anyone else who wanted to leave with recent gains by the syrian forces in the strategic town on the outskirts of damascus j.c.l. islam had limited options left. natasha going to. a man now more in the white house response donald trump's warned of consequences for the suspected attacker he's tweeted many dead including women and children in what he calls a mindless chemical attack he says russia's president vladimir putin and iran are responsible for backing syria's president bashar al assad who he labels an animal trump warns of a big price to pay and demands the area is opened up for medical help and evacuations let's get more on the reaction from trump and other u.s. politicians to the events in syria and it speak to mike hanna mike we are hearing in the last ten minutes or so via syrian state t.v. that a bombing campaign is underway they blame it on the u.s.
5:06 am
and they say the target is a military airport near homs what have you heard about that well that's correct turn we've asked the pentagon and we've had the reply from them that they have nothing to say at this particular point there are those reports coming in that there is an attack underway on that is strip homes there is no confirmation of that from the pentagon although we do understand that the eyewitnesses on the scene are saying that certainly it was jet aircraft in the air it does appear to be bombs falling in that particular vicinity now one must remember that exactly a year ago to the day. donald trump the president trump. ordered a bombing campaign in syria in the wake of a chemical attack at that particular time obviously the question is now arising whether this is a u.s.
5:07 am
response to that chemical attack that we've seen in the past twenty four hours in the eastern province of damascus. republicans been responding they're not a new republicans but on other politicians to what donald trump has threatened when he said that you know we will respond with. yes indeed there has been response from fellow republicans john mccain has been very critical of the media messages that president trump has been sending out and also republican senator lindsey graham had this to say president trump can reset the table here to me i would destroy assad's air force i would create safe zones in syria where people can come back to their 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 with north korea if he doesn't follow
5:08 am
through and live up to that he's going to look weak in the as of a russia and iran so this is a defining moment mr president you need to follow to that tweet show resolve that obama never did to get this right what sort of support mike do you think there is for a military campaign against syria. well part of the problem is many within the u.s. have been pondering about it is the parent dysfunctional state between president trump until military is secretary of defense james matters for example has been insisting that u.s. troops must remain within syria until the eisel defeated in that area use then said that what will then happen is a transition is that the u.s. factors will move in diplomatic to help rebuild syria now president trump has been
5:09 am
saying exactly the opposite in the past few weeks it's been saying that u.s. troops are going to be withdrawn from syria as soon as possible in fact the whole u.s. presence is going to be taken down within syria so there is a. king within the u.s. position on what is happening in syria at the moment and another republican senator john mccain has made very clear that he believes that this has emboldened of bashar al assad to undertake attacks that we've seen in recent days those syria and the russians syria's close ally have denied that syria was responsible for that chemical attack so what you have at the moment is a confusion about not only how the u.s. will respond if indeed it is responding but what is the relationship between the u.s. secretary of defense who would be the spearhead in terms of carrying out that response
5:10 am
all right mike let's leave it there while they are advised former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. samantha power on syria he is current c. of m.v.a. which is a civic engagement organization he joins us from washington d.c. on skype it's very good to have you with us syrian state t.v. is reporting of a bombing campaign the pentagon says it doesn't anything about that what are you hearing. think stamper having me you know i'm hearing the same things you're hearing the pentagon has not confirmed in fact has denied any us involvement in any strikes right now which leads me to wonder whether perhaps another nation maybe the israelis we have conducted something it's still too early to tell the pentagon and the white house me issue statements in the morning clarifying what is going on but it's anybody's guess right now what is actually happening certainly what we do know is there are exclude explosions over the air
5:11 am
base of yasser which is referred to as tonight oral chump like honestly everyone else is not involved in the world is pretty angry about what happened and we are getting confirmation that it is a chemical attack what do you think bashar al assad was intending here if he is indeed behind it but i don't know how else could be what's their response or did he want really anywhere just looking at the history of the conflict in assad's behavior is whenever there is heavy urban fighting that his troops are unable to finish such as in duma which is heavily populated and the resistance fighters you know others have gone underground one of their known tactics is to try to flush them out with chemical weapons and to punish the civilian population if the fighters do not surrender they've done this many times i think over fifty times by my count and they've done it even in the in the in the same town of duma before
5:12 am
and the broader area so assad is do not be test out what he knows to be true in the past that the americans the u.s. is not likely to do much and that this is probably a message to to rebels in other parts of the country and that for example. yeah i mean certainly you know when he's been punished he's been punished likely only once last year as you mentioned with the with the strike against the airbase before after the shoot. attack so really there's been no real consequences for assad and unless and until there's something more severe aisa you know sustained military strikes against his assets in order to establish deterrence in pursuit of preserving whatever credibility the united states has left and protecting whatever civilians are left the regime will do what it knows best which is use brute force and till it winds so we seeing these sort of attacks again if he is behind it against his own people and we are debating with
5:13 am
a strike is underway possibly by the u.s. you say israel if they do get involved what's the response going to be from the other players involved russia iran will it all depends now we've seen is last year after much warning by some advisors and pundits that it will unleash world war three the russians and the regime did not respond because really they do not want to pick a fight with the united states where they're hoping is to scare the united states out of intervention in syria and i don't think they can do much really now what the their allies in the region such as for example some of the militias in iraq or perhaps hezbollah in lebanon can start something against us you know target its or our allies or our friends in the region but in terms of a direct response to the united states i just don't see it so therefore really it's up to the united states to decide whether it's going to right now enforce the red
5:14 am
line that was never in force in the past in a can stay in a sustained manner and again if anybody else gets involved is the end game clear now syria's end game clear just to get rid of anything that stands and bashar assad's way. i mean that's his approach now anything is possible in this region as we've all seen each country has its own prerogative in its own interest let's not forget the turks are trying to to clear out the id and establish a buffer zone in the north the jordanians have their interests the israelis have it so i wouldn't discount things changing in the future but as a fright now for all things to eat will the regime seems to be well positions to reclaim every territory that it lost particularly in central syria i think the area is under turkish control are think they will contest that in the future but maybe in the end and down the road but not right now and regardless of the cost while thank you very much thank you hungary's prime minister viktor orban has declared
5:15 am
victory in parliamentary elections as nearly all of the votes counted over one's a right wing anti immigrant today as 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 jenna reports 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
5:16 am
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. on these n.g.o.s especially left wing and 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. the balance of power in parliament is largely unchanged and many hung guerin's 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 rightwing nationalism amplified by xenophobia and even anti 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
5:17 am
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. earlier i spoke to mark simone. non-resident senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia center he says obama's victory is part of a anti e.u. sentiment that is shared by many east european leaders. this election isn't as an indicator of us continuing strength of nationalist conservative political leaders and movements in eastern europe and poland slovakia and the czech republic and hungary you have polluted leaders that are trying to cast their lot against frost's and against you while maintaining their country's position so many twists again as a referendum and rigid conservative movements are not going anywhere are actually likely to be trashed for many years and eastern europe until liberal opposition to
5:18 am
surrender to the other until things change and of course hungary is an example because or honest or the strongest leaders in eastern europe is one of these leaders that stood up to brussels and also in many cases is where. you should occur . or one has been more divisive and supported president now that's a hungary is not germany and it's not a threat does not just force the eastlands in the e.u. so despite congress opposition to sanctions say on russia it's not been able to stop the derivatives so we have to look at the wider role it plays it's an important samples up in the process and the concern about. hungary does not eat or say the e.u. purchased russia but of course the crown it's very active the result of that and there's plenty more ahead on the new digging in the way because in say a controversial war on kenya's border has helped keep them safe from fighters. but
5:19 am
if i'm comfortable have details of the special treatment brazil's president is receiving and present. and the new champions crowd at the us lost as gulf. war natives. in germany a special memorial service has been held for the victims of saturday's attack over seven hundred people gathered at a cathedral in the city of munster a day after a man drove a van into a crowd killing two people and injuring twenty others shortly after the attack you took his life so he said they don't know what the motive was but assume the suspect acted alone german officials say complete security is not possible against lone attackers came reports. on a normal weekend in april the center of minster should be packed with tourists and
5:20 am
locals this weekend was not the violent incident that killed and wounded so many was still fresh in people's minds particularly those who were trying to find out the attackers most of us. in my own start far far the perpetrator was known to police we have had three criminal proceedings against him in munster and another in and these accusations are from two thousand and fifteen and two thousand and sixteen. but none of those gave any inkling that he was capable of carrying out saturday's attack. as the immediate sense of shock following saturday's incident has begun slowly to recede it's been replaced by a sense of grief and condolences with germany's politicians coming to pay their respects to those who lost their lives and many people in this city are asking the question how could such a thing happen here in munster was what i think. something like that shouldn't
5:21 am
happen it's shocking i hope this doesn't happen more often than others will bring themselves to do something like that. we didn't think that could happen here and that someone because of his private problems drove into a crowd with a vehicle that is not comprehensible for the moment investigators say there are no signs of what they call a terror based motives the search of the perpetrators home showed he had imitation firearms and other weapons some media reports suggest he previously suffered psychiatric disturbances ministers have stressed the difficulty they face in protecting germany from these so-called lone wolf attacks. despite all efforts international community despite doing and having to do all that is humanly possible to protect our citizens unfortunately complete security is not possible and yet time and again we have to do everything in our power to continue to reduce perhaps
5:22 am
even to prevent such crimes but for many germans the central question is why do these crimes happen dominick al-jazeera winstone. also in germany police say they may have foiled a potential attack on the bill in half marathon on sunday they've arrested six people aged between eighteen and twenty one one of the apartments raided by police before the race was also searched in connection with a twenty sixteen christmas market attack in berlin. u.s. media are reporting that north korea has told u.s. officials it's willing to discuss the denuclearization of the korean peninsula the two countries have been in contact and head of a meeting planned between kim jong un and president donald trump next month it will be the first time a sitting u.s. president holds talks with a north korean leader kim make chinese president xi jinping in beijing last month in his first overseas trip as leader pakistan's summoned the u.s.

5:31 am
and again a reminder of the top stories this hour donald trump is straightly to retaliate against syria for a suspected chemical attack on a rebel held area of eastern goods are more than forty people were killed in the attack on the town of goma on saturday. and evacuees from duma have begun arriving in government controlled areas while about eighty thousand fighters from the josh islam rebel group and their families are headed for opposition controlled towns in northern syria this is part of an agreement struck between russia and the rebels. and hungary's prime minister viktor orban has declared victory in parliamentary elections with nearly all of the votes counted his party won of third successive term in power and possibly another two thirds majority this gives him enough to continue controversial constitutional changes. is get you more now on that chemical
5:32 am
attack in syria earlier i spoke to max abrams he's an assistant professor of political science at northeastern university i began by asking him about the kind of response to be expected from the u.s. . oh or to characterize us in syria now tourists during the trump in ministration but going through obama's administration would be one of inconsistency confusion murky notes a lack of strategic vision and i think all presidents are really struggled to establish a co-creator and strategy for dealing with syria obama for example you know q.m.p. him against regime change but then you know at least initially supported the rebels accept leader didn't support the rebels from trouble has seemed against regime change but just last year attacked when he was there last week he said he wanted to get out of syria very soon and then you know almost you know the next day he
5:33 am
said well actually we're going to stay in syria for the foreseeable future so he doesn't want us to be there oh and so i really have no expectation that u.s. foreign power he is going to suddenly become cohesive on syria i've been looking for that to happen over the past several years 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 then a smith says more from west to recent. israel's defense minister avigdor lieberman says that all the activists trying to challenge is in gaza a hamas military activist he says that everyone is connected to hamas everyone gets a salary from hamas in gaza will of course not everyone in gaza is connected to
5:34 am
hamas but what the defense minister is trying to do is continue the narrative that israel has tried to portray israel's government and israel's military the. 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 except 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 expand fishing zones these are what people want to try and make life in gaza more bearable doctors in gaza are
5:35 am
struggling to treat palestinians injured in the blast hospitals have declared a state of emergency due to a severe shortage of supplies hundred millimeters more from one of gaza's hospitals 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 a young amir he is only nineteen years old and actually he was not anywhere close to that no go zone he was watching for my father when he got hit by a sniper now 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
5:36 am
an emergency situation yesterday the health officials here in gaza have actually declared a state of emergency for the health system it is an overload. nigeria's army says it's rescued one hundred forty nine women and children from the armed group boko haram the hostages were in the village of yeti marie cooley in north east in borno state they're not part of the group of schoolgirls kidnapped from the towns of chibok and top who are still missing with interest reports from a butcher. the army said those rescue who are residents of yet a medic or a village in northeastern nigeria were held captive by book or arm but they did not say for how long they've been held captive by the fighters the army said it followed an over the rescue followed an operation that they conducted on saturday where they encountered book out of fighters and in soon firefight they killed three of them and also captured five now these people have been taken to hospital and are
