and syria are accusing israel of carrying out an air strike on a military air base in central syria they say the fighter jets struck the base in homs killing several people israel hasn't responded to accusations it previously said though the site is controlled by iranian forces which bank the asset government in the war the strikes happened just hours after at least forty people died in a suspected chemical attack in duma in eastern halter the u.n. security council is due to discuss the attack in a few hours time both the presidents of france and the us believe chemical weapons were used when duma was the rebels' last stronghold near the capital damascus now leaving as part of a russian sponsored deal in exchange the rebels released prisoners of war zone the whole that joins us now live from beirut so let's start first of all with the news of that strike conducted we're told of the russians say by the israelis well what

more do we know about that. well there has been no official confirmation from the israeli government u.s. officials have been quoted as saying that the israeli government informed washington that they do intend to strike at targets in syria before it happened like you mentioned the russians as well as the syrian government they're pointing the finger of blame at the israelis now this is not the first time israel has struck targets inside syria but this is the first time that the russian government is actually blaming the israelis for carrying out such an attack and the russian government demanding an official explanation on why this base was targeted now according to syrian state media there were casualties wounded and dead and according to the iranian news agency the official news agency two iranians were killed because what we understand is that this base was also manned by iranian fighters now the israelis have made this clear time and time again that they have

red lines in syria and that is that they will not allow iran to entrench itself militarily in syria and it won't allow iran to use syria as a forward operating base against it so the russians and the syrians blaming the israelis and still no official confirmation from the israeli government getting back to do. process now done and dusted. well yes the evacuation process now underway thousands and thousands of people are going to be bussed from duma taken to the north of the country rebel controlled areas in the north of the country this is not the first deal of its kind in syria or in eastern duma because duma was excuse me in eastern would have because eastern with it was controlled by three rebel groups two other rebel groups i heard a sham as well as five men they both surrendered and thousands and thousands of people were bussed out to government to rebel controlled areas in the north up to fifty thousand people and this time around approximately fifty thousand people are

going to be sent to the north of the country. they are leaving from the last rebel pocket in eastern who. has surrendered up to eight thousand fighters from the rebel group and more than forty thousand of their family members and anyone else who wants to leave are being bussed out of the city the russian military has given them safe passage to rebel held areas in northern syria as part of a deal that also involved. releasing all of its prisoners many of them held for years and among them women and children they arrived at a government controlled crossing late on sunday. the deal came after a suspected chemical attack in the city that killed dozens of people doctors and rescue workers saying many of the victims suffocated informed at the mouse symptoms indicative of exposure to some kind of chemical agent damascus and its backer moscow dismissed the claims as fabrication it isn't the first time chemical weapons

are believed to have been used by the syrian government against civilians hours after the attack agreed to return to the negotiating table it wasn't clear why the initial collapse on friday but when it did the pro-government alliance launched an all out military offensive to pile pressure on the rebel group the evacuation or what amounts to a surrender is similar to the agreement with two other rebel factions and. gave up after a fierce bombing campaign. was hoping for a different deal that would allow it to remain in control of but under the overall jurisdiction of the government that didn't happen what they did manage to get is a guarantee that russia's military police will enter the city and those who chose to stay won't be harassed or detained by state security forces much of duma is now rubble the largest urban center in the eastern suburbs of damascus has been a target since opposition fighters captured the area in two thousand and thirteen.

it was the main hub of anti-government protests close to the capital there were able to threaten the government seat of power by frequently launching rockets into neighborhoods. seven years later the pro-government alliance is declaring victory but the seven week offensive killed nearly two thousand civilians this is the worst defeat suffered by the opposition since the fall of aleppo in late two thousand and sixteen sen beirut. middle east affairs analyst and the director of the levant institute for strategic affairs he joins us now from beirut good to have you with us sir i'm sure you've heard the russians say this was an israeli strike from the indications you've analyzed doesn't look like that is the case. yes definitely all the more the israeli minister of defense they keep acting inside if you really are so and it's not the

first time israel conduct a military operation inside syria and every time that i intervened in syria it was to block rein in trying to change their rules of engagement by channeling arms and equipment to hezbollah and it. could have been yesterday as well iran could seize the opportunity of having the international community for casting on a chemical weapon to channel more arms and equipment to hezbollah and maybe all sorts to put provoke an i.e.d. intervention in order to confuse the issue and to confuse an american response things the american president. to pay a high price on this adds another layer of complication to already very complicated

situation in syria bearing in mind is that i had an objective are totally different from those of international community the primary concern is that i is to block that indian influence are not seeking assad the removal but in the. iran the removal or iran military presence the more from syria how important is the t four base in terms of the iranian president as well as the scenario that you're painting there which will say this is it is speculative. of supplying rockets or weapons at this point in time to has the law. it's not the first time israel thought to get the four airbase it has been targeted. before it is the area of influence. it's the area under the ne in influence since syria

is practically partitioned this area stretching from homs where you have that before. hard as it is used is used by the airing in. the road just like matters it is used to to sand. it owns and the last time we saw we witnessed the targeting this military airbase so and prove that iranian according to the russian the statement yesterday or this morning some among the casualties casualties were rainy and so this is an admission that approved this before was used by the iranian forces in syria how much of this is a setback to the syrian regime they've suffered attacks this fall it hasn't collapsed they are said regime and as you said you don't believe that's even the

goal of the israelis. i mean the syrian regime is not the primary actor in syria. is already is seen for a cold war and you're a partner or the major player are the regional and international forces starting. and russia and yesterday we've seen a major player getting into this scene which is israel and each of these regional power has its own. agendas and priorities are conflicting and make. very hard to. do to exist this is why i think today is not whether.

we'll get an advantage it's possible to reach a certain amount and was that will be part of this settlement it will leave it there for now thanks so much sami now that. russia is warning against jumping to conclusions about the suspected gas attack in duma chalons is live for us in moscow we know of course the russians have denied that it was the syrian regime behind this attack important security council meeting is coming up in a few hours time what's the russian starts likely to be in that meeting. well we've been so many times before haven't we when you get these gruesome pictures suffocating children or bloodied civilians being slapped splashed across the screens we get you know a collection of countries rounding on russia and saying moscow be protecting its.

partner in damascus once again and of course whenever this happens. we get the usual denials from the russian governments and from the syrian government too so that's what we've got this time indeed it seems that moscow has actually been preparing for such a day as this it's been saying for weeks that it was picking up intelligence from on the ground in syria that rebels were planning a provocation involving the use of chemical weapons on civilians that they were then used to pin the blame on the syrian government south and of course russia as well and that's what sergei lavrov has already said and he's also said that you know the teams of russian experts and the syrian red cross experts have been to duma and they found no evidence of a chemical gas attack there obviously don't trump doesn't agree with this doesn't believe it he's called president asaad an animal and said that there will be

together with the french some sort of response well the kremlin has replied to that saying that it's an animal is no such way to talk about the legitimate president of syria and has urged other countries to avoid any steps that might destabilize syria any further but yes as you say we do have a security council meeting later on today and i expect given what we've seen from previous security council meetings when it comes to atrocities in syria we will get the usual finger pointing blaming russia denials from the russian side that is done anything wrong and we'll carry on business as usual all right thanks so much rory chalons. but the most ahead on the news hour including warnings from iran's president that any u.s. withdrawal from the nuclear deal is a bad idea. while. video is released showing how the israeli military interrogated palestinian teenager to me. and installed it show time for baseball breakout star andy's here with that

was arrested last month and in that time has refused to be questioned by prosecutors but in the past he has denied the charges against him saying that his arrest was a politically motivated leak comes from the opposite side of politics to the current liberal president. in the past he has also apologized for causing concern among the south korean public he now becomes the fourth former south korean president to face trial over corruption allegations his arrest his indictment comes just days after former president park geun hay was sentenced to twenty four years in her corruption trial accused found guilty rather of abuse of power and bribery amongst other charges u.s. media reporting the north korea has told u.s. officials it's willing to discuss the denuclearize ation of the korean peninsula but two countries have been in contact head of a planned meeting between kim jong un and donald trump next month will be the first time a sitting u.s. president has held talks with a north korean leader iran's president as warned the u.s.

against withdrawing from the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal saying his country's response would be quote stronger than imagined hasan rowhani was speaking at an event in target on the u.s. president repeatedly said he would pull out of the deal which was agreed by iran and major western powers including the u.s. in two thousand and fifteen it's seen to have curb its nuclear development in exchange for the lifting of international sanctions. most of them is a political commentator and professor of media at fox news faculty he says the united states has changed its approach to iran since george w. bush's second term in two thousand and five its top priorities shifted from regime change to containment george bush failed to rally international support for doing so only obama and hillary clinton could team up in the aftermath of post election riots in tehran two thousand and nine to enforce

a set of sanctions to force the iran to contain its own nuclear industry but donald trump is not the president that could rally international support so he's using a different strategy intimidation through using the madman strategy to seem unpredictable to seem like a madman and he managed to success in rallying european support to certain levels of but not with regard to iraq they have a couple of plans plan a is forcing iran to comply with the nuclear deal and agreed to provide more and more concessions in other areas of its power that's a specifically its regional influence and missile and this really this this plan has already failed plan b. which is now more in focus is forcing iran to continue to deal with europeans and also provide a smaller set of concessions in its other areas of power like missile and original

powers and in return for a with a smaller package of economic merits iran that that's exactly why iran when the u.s. first that warned to drop the deal like ten months ago iran said it would continue to deal with europeans but now it's a couple of months that it is stated that it would not continue the deal if the u.s. drops and kills the nuclear deal. hungary's prime minister viktor orban has won a third consecutive term his party's secured almost fifty percent of the vote in what is called a decisive victory the result paves the way for him to press ahead with hardline policies on immigration including a law that could ban non-governmental organizations that support new arrivals journal reports from budapest. things could hardly have gone better for prime minister. the queues of voters that stretched long and late into the night were not

disappointed according to the opinion polls there is probably a majority of people who oppose or baron 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 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. independent monitors are questioning the fairness of the elections the organization for security and cooperation in europe says candidates couldn't complete compete rather equally against party. voters had a wide range of political options but intimidating and zina phobic rhetoric media bias and opaque campaign financing constricted the space for

entirely inappropriate and abusive behavior and the something like that should never take place her father also spoke about the fact that there was no lawyer present in that interrogation room and that that goes against international law now other members of her defense team and her supporters have said that this video really showcases the plight of palestinian children minors who were arrested by israeli security forces shows they say the abusive tactics that they must face when they are interrogated by israeli security forces one member of her team also said that this was the first time that he had ever seen a military interrogator involved in an interrogation of a minor not just a police interrogator he said that that was very disturbing now her family says that they have lodged complaints with the israeli government since they obtained

a cult canada there now we come to expect it's always cold there is no not this cold we've had a little time of the year look at long range forecasts even in ten days' time it's still snowing pakistan across the border as fast as indiana in the states so we're going to wait a while for temperatures rise i mean look at what we had we talked about this yesterday some you just alluded to and these are today's temperatures they are highly estimates but they are still in this is the most people living near the border the u.s. compare they should be so the average for this time of year and they're all the order of fourteen degrees below where they should be i mean if you're on the west coast that far in loads of rain in the bin snow up in the in the british columbia in the mountains and seems ok but anywhere else in canada that includes toronto where we are significantly colder than we should be the trouble is this cold air not being moved up on the sun tends to leak across the prairie is into the plains

of the u.s. and you know what happens there because eventually it meets up with some warm this come up from the gulf that can produce some tremendously violent storms but more usually they produce is snow now this is i was ok so we're looking at snow and are ok what is the attempt to should be in this place is waterloo it should be sixteen degrees this time of year so we're sixteen degrees colder than we should be and there's the loop of the existing code and now i am surprised actually that the forecast weather now as this thing moves eastwards is quite benign nevertheless the cold is still there and as i said there's more snow to come sunny. thanks so much we're still ahead of al jazeera the reality of the shipping industry now is figuring out new ways to clean up its act. ok stop stop stop stop stop and spoil the formula one pit stop the cause the injury and force the top driver to. the bahrain grand prix.

getting to the heart of the matter if the turkish cypriot leader calls you today and says let's have talks would you accept facing realities what do you think reunification would look like there are two people think the peace corps unification is the only option for prosperity of south korea hear their story and talk to al-jazeera new yorkers are very receptive to al-jazeera because it is such an international city they are very interested in that global perspective that al-jazeera provides. to.

the foreign ministry. you're watching al-jazeera minded top stories this hour rush hour in syria say two israeli fighter jets carried out and then a strike on a military base in central syria several people are believed to have been killed at the base in homs israel hasn't responded. it's previously said the site is controlled by iranian forces. the u.n. security council plans to meet later on monday to discuss the suspected chemical weapons attack in syria at least forty people were killed in eastern baltar on

saturday. former south korean president lee myung bak has been indicted on several corruption charges it's really cute of taking bribes corporate tax evasion and in beslan last week his successor going hey was sentenced to twenty four years in prison for corruption. now the families of victims in the decades long conflict in northern ireland are still fighting to ensure their relatives get justice between the late one nine hundred sixty s. one thousand nine hundred ninety s. about three and a half thousand people were killed and tens of thousands of people were injured society was generally divided along political and religious lines with most catholics opposing british rule in northern ireland and protestants wanting it to continue. a political resolution to the conflict known as the troubles was reached in one nine hundred ninety eight with the signing of the good friday agreement but twenty years later the pain of those who lost loved ones in the conflict remains

our u.k. correspondent bobby phillips reports from the role of county. in small farming towns in gentle valleys and quiet country lanes they remembered dark days we came along after action and just as we're torn in the end here there were louis had a bank there knows her old the open door policy or just. three gone it was thirty two bullet holes in it you're so lucky you can imagine it was like it was just after eight o'clock on a sunday morning in one thousand nine hundred seventy two richard and his brother robin protestants and part time soldiers of the british army and their father drove into their farm and an ira ambush robin died richard has lost hope the men who killed his brother will ever be caught in order to. think. it's quite possible a man overboard or either very old man or. one

horse a point but an old monitored you. know turned over see anybody doing home for. something awful over just almost all of the violence of the troubles was here in northern ireland part of the united kingdom but just occasionally it would spread to the south of the republic which you can see the other side of that water. geraldine o'reilly a catholic was fifteen years old just two months after robin was killed so was she by a bomb planted by pro british paramilitaries she was buying chips on the high street another passing boy also killed antony is geraldine's brother he survived the bomb berea his wife he's struggled not to let his loss define his life put through a sort of let go of a no because i don't think anyone is ever going to be brought to justice no you

know what or we can do know is that with the peace agreement don't think this is a lot different. from these very worked up over the of the never happen here bernie were there and so. it's good to try to stay like that it's happening at the moment in the north you know where there is no government for starting all but i do know that the people want peace and we want peace here it's. two families justice has eluded them both and yet they cherish this peace even as they fear its fragility. fun to be phillip's al-jazeera county for man or for the night. well and i cal there while those advocates at the pat finucane a center a human rights organization joins us now from belfast good to have you with us so why are so many still seeking justice so long after the good friday accords. well even those who saw people appear in court and who saw people go to jail for

offenses still don't know the full truth about why their loved ones were killed and many many people never saw anyone go to jail most families now i think realize that justice is probably beyond them but they certainly do want as much as information as possible about why their loved ones were killed many families know nothing about who was responsible which group was responsible why their loved ones were killed and it is tormenting them so both for society's sake and for individual say we must get as much truth as is now available and possible to get for those families who were the real losers in the conflict or that the good friday accord deliberately overlooked this sort of process in order to make sure peace prevails there isn't this sort of you know hunt for perpetrators of crimes that could affect stability is that was is really behind all of this. well certainly the

good friday agreement did not address the need for peace for truth recovery process and it is speculated the reason was that it simply would would not have been possible for the two sides to agree on one but but now twenty years on surely it should be possible for societies sake i mean it's just two ways of looking at this you could say the past is too divisive we should leave it in the past but you can also say that unless we agree about what happened in the past we can't build a future together a peaceful future together certainly the twenty years that have elapsed since the good friday agreement shows us a lesson which is that the two communities are as far apart as they have. and it should be possible looking at it positively for us to address the people who have a right to know what happened to their family members and for society as a whole to genuinely and honestly examine its past and sept all the wrongs that

were done to each other peace prevails now for the most part of course in northern ireland but is this sort of issue really in the past when we hear about you know to what extent are there still groups out there was carrying out as they see it just isn't revenge we have an absence of war in northern ireland but we don't have a genuine peace. the past is seeping poison toxics into our present and we'll continue to do so until we genuinely look at it it's difficult of course it's difficult but the british government has an obligation under human rights law individuals have a right under the law and society has a wide a right to be able to move forward together and in order to do so we must examine the past there's no way around it all right we'll leave it there for now thanks so much. more now on that suspected chemical attack in syria that killed at least

forty people on saturday the u.s. defense secretary james mattis says he's not ruling out anything in response including military action he made the comments as he met carter's emir for talks at the pentagon shake to mean bin hamad family will meet president donald trump on tuesday it's ten months now since four arab countries cut trade and diplomatic ties with qatar. joining us live from washington d.c. so no doubt that will be one issue that's going to come up in talks what can we expect syria is definitely going to be one of the issues topping of the edge and of the meeting between president donald trump and the emir of qatar shit i mean been hammered the foreign minister of qatar just had . a strong statement on his twitter account denouncing the attack targeting civilians in. the international community if it does not get

its act together and take a decision that it remains completely with absolutely no value in the eyes of thousands of people who have huge expectations and the blockade imposed by saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt is definitely going to be one of the top issues dominating the agenda i've been talking to senior officials over the last few days and they basically say they're open to a dialogue and they would like to see the american step in help broker any sort of deal in the near future but whether insists that there is absolutely no way of will get into any talks that include compromising the national sovereignty of qatar or i should one about other from washington d.c. the shipping industry which varies everything from food to gadgets is one of the world's biggest polluters largely escape tied to emissions that may soon change

clark explains. from computers to close to children's toys it's estimated that nine out of ten consumer items filling the shelves of the world's shops get there by ship but ships use some of the lowest grade most polluting fuel there is emitting not just c o two but poisonous gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide indeed if this shipping industry was a nation it would be the sixth largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world well this week nations are meeting at the international maritime organization to try and draw up a strategy to eliminate carbon pollution there are proposals to cut emissions at least fifty percent by twenty fifty this fall short of the seventy to one hundred percent reductions that european and pacific island states say is needed and that figure is strongly opposed by nations like brazil india and saudi arabia who have raised economic concerns and then what alternatives are other well ocean going

ships only powered by renewable energy may be some way off yet but all electric ferries are even now at sea in scandinavia the future is already here australia's prime minister is coming under more pressure to resign marcum turnbull's party has failed to top thirty successive opinion polls and use that excuse to remove his previous s.-a tony abbott in two thousand and fifteen hundred thomas reports from sydney. back in september twenty fifth one of the reasons malcolm turnbull gave for overthrowing his predecessor tony abbott was that abbott had lost thirty opinion polls in a row that means that thirty times in a row the opinion polls had shown that the government would lose an election to labor one held the next day. said that that was unsustainable it showed that the government at the time was on track to lose the next election will now malcolm turnbull has failed his own test he has reach that milestone thirty times in a row opinion polls have shown he and his government are on track to lose the one

thing though that prevents a leadership challenge is that there is no clear success to. 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 if they feel strongly in public has had enough of that so for now malcolm turnbull looks like canada's prime minister has paid tribute to an ice hockey team at a vigil in the town of humboldt fifteen people were killed including ten players when the team bus collided with a semi trailer in the province of saskatchewan on friday police are trying to determine the cause i don't want to be here. but it's good that we'll. friday i didn't want to go to the game my but my
