operated by iranian forces who are backing syria's government alongside russia in the war syria's calling the strike an israeli aggression. the presidents of france and the u.s. a chemical weapons were used in syria on saturday more than forty people were killed in the attack in eastern canada near the capital damascus and security council's two to discuss the attack later on monday on cars as more. entire families babies children adults dead the people who remained in duma thought they could shelter from the air strikes in the basements of buildings instead witnesses say they suffocated from a suspected chemical attack they were trying to hide from being in shelters but when the city was hit but looks ago. there was no longer the white people became sort of fights scared on pretty. intense air strikes by the syrian government and its allies began on saturday when this is reported barrel bombs with some sort of

gas being dropped. it's reported the ambulances the hospital were hit by a strike on the red crescent can no longer operate leaving a small team of medical professionals with scarce supplies to tend to the injured the familiar cycle of accusations denials and calls for action has begun using language head after losses confirmed chemical attack on ship which killed more than eighty people the syrians and the russians call 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 president trump was more specific calling president assad an animal and france has called for a u.n. security council meeting i mean while people say life in diva already difficult

after weeks of intense fighting has become miserable imran khan i would. say to her joins us now from beirut so basically syria and russia are telling the entire world you don't believe your eyes don't believe what it is that you're saying but nevertheless new information continues to come in about this is clearly chemical attacks what do we know now. well the syrian government and the russian government like you mentioned they both denied using chemical weapons but activists on the ground as well as the bike helmet and the videos really that emerged from duma show people suffering from the symptoms that linked in one way or another to some sort of chemical attack after this on the ground saying at least forty people were killed and it was very difficult to treat these people because we have to remember duma is besieged and many doctors have already left and they were blocking medical supplies so more than forty people killed this is not the first time the syrian

government has been blamed for using chemical weapons in the past the it has been blamed but it has never been held accountable and now duma of course has now surrendered to the rebel group in control of the scoundrel agreeing to surrender up to eight thousand fighters and some fourteen thousand members of their families will be bussed out of duma a given safe passage to rebel controlled areas in the north of the country and this followed a deal with the syrian government that also involves racial islam releasing captives prisoners of war who have arrived at a government controlled territory. ok thank you for the latest on the update on those evacuations as well let's bring in now our diplomatic editor james phase who joins me now in the studio so it is a name mentioned and her report there have been previous chemical attacks there has never been any accountability what can we expect to be different if anything today

when the u.n. meets about this the u.n. security council's meeting ten hours from now and i can tell you there will not be any agreement there will not be any action because there is complete division on this issue early on there was an agreement to set up a mechanism is called a joint investigative mechanism that could just decide who carried out the chemical attacks they actually pronounced the four chemical attacks were carried out by the assad regime and to buy. and then they were coming to what do we do about it and further reports on further chemical attacks but the mandate for this investigation came to an end and needed to be renewed by the u.n. security council and guess what russia decided we've had enough of this mechanism they used their veto they will use their veto again if they're backing up what syria syriza denial still so there will be division and if there's division around that horseshoe table of the fifteen members of the security council the international community can do nothing ok let's talk about something else that

would it would seem would be wrapped up in these discussions the security council is going to have a day and that's these these airstrikes that happened in central syria that no one has claimed responsibility for yet but there are accusations that these came from israel talk about that the timing of this and why the focus is on israel well israel doesn't always admit things it does but yes the focus is on israel will be focused i think on the legality of this under international law there's no chapter seven which allows the use of force in syria no one's ever agreed to that they could justify it as self-defense but they weren't actually attacked on this occasion so i. think israel will get some pressure from russia and possibly from china or around the security council but then look at the other side of it for israel very will if it was them have taken out a base which iran was using israel does not like the runs operations in syria they will have done something that will be popular with the us they lived on something

that would be popular with the israeli public and one last thing the slightly changing the news story away from the focus on gaza exactly all right james again the meeting is in about ten hours thank you very much iran's president has warned the u.s. against withdrawing from the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal saying his country's response will be stronger than i imagined a sign rouhani was speaking at an event in tehran u.s. president onil trump has repeatedly said he will pull out of that deal which was agreed to by iran and major western powers including the us. the chief prosecutor at the national criminal court says war crimes may have been committed during the mass protests in gaza. thirty people have been killed by israeli forces since demonstrations began on march thirtieth or the two thousand have been injured with many suffering serious wounds from israeli gunfire the

to alter the constitution changing the electoral system to favor a victory for 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 he promised 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 leftwing 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 these n.g.o.s for their knowledge of. 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 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 how al-jazeera budapest. marks mccoskey as a nonresident senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia center he attributes victory to anti e.u. sentiment that is shared by many eastern european leaders. this election is an order as an indicator of continuing strength of nationalistic 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 process and again steve while maintaining their country's position so

government at the time was on track to lose the next election will now malcolm turnbull has failed his own test he has reached that model started thirty times in a row opinion polls have shown that he and his government are on track to lose but one thing though that prevents a leadership challenge is that there is no clear successor to malcolm turnbull no one those in his party can agree who should take over from him and also at the same opinion polls show that the australian public does not want another new prime minister there were four changes of prime minister in the five years to twenty fifteen the australian public has had enough of that so for now malcolm turnbull looks like. canada's prime minister has paid tribute to a junior ice hockey team at a vigil and the town of humble fifteen people died including ten players from their team bus crashed in the province of saskatchewan these are still trying to figure out what caused that crash i don't want to be here.
