the overnight missile strikes in homs and the deal reached for the rebels to evacuate duma. there's really a government has not confirmed whether it was responsible for targeting the syrian air base in the central province of homs but the russian government and damascus they're both blaming the israelis saying this really is are responsible now it's not the first time there's really government strikes targets inside syria they've done it on numerous occasions over recent years but this is the first time that russia blames israel or points the finger at israel and it's not just that the russians are also demanding an official explanation from the israeli government on why this base was targeted in the past rhetoric used to turn a blind eye and keep silent what has changed could it be a message to the u.s. administration or other western nations who are talking about some sort of military response to suspected chemical weapons attacks so this the airstrike coming just

7:05 pm
exposure to some kind of chemical agent damascus and its backer moscow dismissed the claims as fabrication it isn't the first time come. the 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 deal collapsed 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 deal reached or what amounts to a surrender is similar to the agreement with two other rebel factions in eastern huta who gave up after a fierce bombing campaign. was hoping for a different deal that would allow it to remain in control of duma 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
7:06 pm
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 and from there rebels 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 senator beirut. well president donald trump is promising a major decision on a response to the suspected chemical attack can do more in the next twenty four to forty eight hours at a cabinet meeting held in the last trump said nothing is off the table the president condemned what he called a humorous attack on innocent civilians or listening to our white house
7:07 pm
correspondent kimberly kimberly. talking about there will be a heavy price to pay now he's saying there's nothing off the table where does it were. well the president's own words he seems to be ratcheting up the expectation of some sort of response by the united states as you point out that cabinet meeting is underway now reporters having the opportunity to get some of the thoughts of the president who has indicated that the united states when he will be making a decision as commander in chief sometime in the next forty eight hours even as soon as later today the president saying that in terms of what he has seen in the images coming out of duma that this is about humanity it can't be allowed to happen questioning who may be behind this saying if it's russia if it's syria if it's iran all together we'll figure it out questioning though if syria the syrian government claiming its innocence not being behind this attack why then are inspectors not
7:08 pm
being allowed in to prove that innocent so these are just some of the thoughts of the president as you point out echoing the very strong rhetoric on the weekend when in fact the president said there would be a big price to pay for whomever is responsible for launching this attack on civilians little bit later we're expecting the u.n. security council to meet what might we expect. well certainly that's not the only meeting that's taking place there's been a series of meetings that are taking place not only is the u.n. security council going to be meeting i believe it's at nineteen g. but also there was an emergency session on syria taking place with the principals of the national security council here in washington i'm told the president was not present for that however i can tell you as i walked into the white house the number of armored s.u.v.s that are parked outside indicates there's going to be a very strong presence at another meeting that is taking place here at the white house when the president will be meeting with senior military leaders and then
7:09 pm
having dinner with them as well so certainly he is weighing a lot of opinions in terms of what he wants to do is the next step but it is a stark contrast to what we heard just one week ago essentially when the president was saying that he wanted to pull out of syria that it was time to leave syria mediately getting the message from his military leaders that may not be the best course of action given there is still an effort to defeat eisel there now the president seems to have done an about face on that position with these latest statements recognizing that the threat for so many remains and is dire for a camry thanks very much indeed the speech for the time being the white house at least fifteen people including children have been killed in an strike in yemen yemeni officials say saudi led coalition planes struck a house in southwestern sits in the southwestern city of tire as the area has seen heavy fines he which means saudi backed government forces and the rebels.
