witness documentaries that open your eyes. at this time on al-jazeera. i really felt liberated as a journalist of. getting to the truth as an eyewitness that's what this job. as we embrace new technology is rarely do we stop to ask what is the price of this progress what happened was people started getting sick but there was a small group of people that began to think that maybe this was related to become a fish closure on the job an investigation reveals how even the smallest devices have deadly environmental and health costs we think ok we'll send our you waste to china but we have to remember that air pollution travels around the globe jeff i design on al-jazeera.

this is al-jazeera. and i'm jane dutton this is the news are live from doha coming up in the program the u.s. and russia trade straits at the united nations over suspected chemical attack in syria as donald trump puts military action on the table. the f.b.i. raids the office in a hotel room of the u.s. president's long time lawyer the man at the center of one hundred thirty thousand dollars payments to a porn star. ox like a bug admits facebook could have done more to protect user data as he apologizes to lawmakers on the eve of his congressional testimony. and under siege world heritage sites in yemen could be destroyed because the fighting between the siding led coalition and the rebels.

the u.s. president says he'll make a decision shortly on how to respond to a suspected chemical weapons attack in syria donald trump says all options are on the table including military action as syrian aid organization says dozens died in saturday's attack in the rebel held town of duma near the capital damascus syrian government's ally russia denies it happened we're making a decision as to what we do with respect to the horrible attack that was made near damascus. and it will be met and it will be met forcefully. when i will not say because i don't like talking about timing so we're going to make a decision tonight or very shortly thereafter. you'll be hearing the decision but

we can't let atrocities like we all witnessed and you can see that this horrible we can't let that happen the attack on to know was the focus of an emergency meeting at the u.n. security council there was a fiery exchange between the u.s. and russia moscow is warning of grave cash and in the event of a u.s. strike on syria michaela reports from the united nations. despite a plea for unity in the council there was little in evidence the emergency session originally called by nine security council members and the new british ambassador summed up the majority position options are on the table we will want to be evaluate theys in the light of what we know we prefer to start with a proper investigation but we will keep in touch with our very close allies to us in front from the russian ambassador though an alternative narrative his argument that any chemical attack would have been carried out by opposition groups under the

direction of american advisers the intend t. claimed to justify military action against the syrian government and scathing words directed at the us ambassador across the chamber who was a. you misguided if you think you have friends the so-called friends of yours are only those who cannot say no to you and this is the sole criterion for friendship in your understanding the us has proposed the establishment of a un investigative mechanism with an initial one year mandate to identify perpetrators of chemical attacks and while calling for security council action the ambassador made a not so veiled threat. history will record this as the moment when the security council either discharged its duty or demonstrated its utter and complete failure to protect the people of syria either way the united states will respond

as the western allies gathered in intense conversation the possibility that in the face of ongoing security council division some members could contemplate unilateral and forceful action mike zero united nations jim walsh is a senior associate at the mit security studies program he says the u.s. president is likely to follow through on his threats. i think the chance of a military strike is probably pretty high certainly given his most recent words that you quoted today and even if he hadn't said anything today given that a year ago i mean almost exactly to the day a year ago we had a use of chemical weapons the president took out what i would say took what i would say was a fairly limited strike against air bases and that we're back to back here year later i got to believe that the president wants something bigger and more robust will that really solve the problem no but the u.s.

will be taking a stance against the use of weapons of mass destruction the president has shown over this past year that he tends to react very strongly to photographs of children that's what drove the last intervention and we've had chemical weapon attack since then and he hasn't done anything but now again we have these dramatic photos i really think that's what's driving this and not other news items in the agenda chemical weapon attacks have happened thirty three times in syria and the u.n. independent investigators have said that in twenty seven of those thirty three over eighty percent the syrian government was responsible so you know there's a track record here and i'm afraid it's going to continue the u.s. has two thousand troops on the ground in syria if the president takes out a big strike against syrian military political targets then it may very well be that those u.s. troops will be targeted themselves and are in some danger. if the guy has raided

the office and hotel room of donald trump's personal attorney michael cohen has been at the center of a controller's involving the president and a porn star if ya agency's documents relating to one hundred thirty thousand dollars payments cohen said he made two stormy daniels he claims she claims she was paid to keep quiet about a sexual encounter she had with trump twelve years ago tom says he has no knowledge of the payment to dine easterbrook in washington d.c. i'm wondering how this is playing out there diane. well it is a bombshell and it is really raise the wrath of president donald trump in fact most of his wrath has been directed at special prosecutor robert moore who was the one who got the wheels of this investigation in motion before a meeting with military advisors over syria and angry president donald trump blasted a new federal investigation into personal attorney michael cohen it's

a disgraceful situation it's a total which i have been saying it for a long time i've wanted to keep it down we've given. i believe over a million pages worth of documents to the special counsel the investigation into cohen stems from special prosecutor robert miller's probe into russia's meddling in the twenty six thousand presidential election moeller apparently found information about cohen that he turned over to federal prosecutors cohen has been under scrutiny for admitting that he paid adult film star stormy daniels one hundred thirty thousand dollars less than two weeks before the election daniels claims the payment was hush money over an affair with the president trump denies the affair and any knowledge of the payment but a former federal prosecutor says the documents confiscated in monday's raid could show a connection between the president and the pornstar it is very unusual for a lawyer to have his office served a search warrant by the f.b.i.

and that means there it happens when there's something called the crime fraud exception so there is obviously a belief by somebody who has looked at the evidence that mr cohen and his client mr trump may have been involved in some kind of criminal activity cohen's attorney says his client is cooperating with investigators but said the decision by the u.s. attorney's office in new york to conduct their investigation using search warrants is completely inappropriate and unnecessary it resulted in the unnecessary seizure of protected attorney client communications between a lawyer and his clients the new investigation could put president trump on a collision course again with special prosecutor robert mueller who he threatened to fire last summer and who he now says has stepped over a line and this is another big distraction for a white house that has been embroiled in controversy since the president took office almost fifteen months ago jane thank you for that time he spoke.

the gulf crisis and serious walks speak to to be top of the agenda when it counts as a mayor and the u.s. prison meets but in the lead up to that meeting on tuesday the focus has been on the importance of america's military base in doha has reports from washington d.c. . it's shaped i mean been authorities first official visit to the us since president donald trump took office his first formal meeting in the u.s. capitol was with the u.s. defense secretary james mattis expanding military corporation was near the top of that agenda were you very close to each other especially because of the terrorism we've moved to more than ten feet of your meat cut side by side in. qatar hosts the americans for what military headquarters in the middle east centcom

there are date military base is give a toll for u.s. operations in the region we're going to continue working together with the bill if you take your view in the caribbean that we met in were all their doorsteps on many fronts and occasionally encountered i mean there is a big night that. was coming the spread of iran malign influence in the region this is a crucial visit full. for the last ten bones his country has had to deal with a blockade imposed by saudi arabia the u.a.e. before a and egypt. remains open to dialogue as long as it's there is nothing confined to the sovereignty of the states but that as long as they are respecting the international law as known as the office spec think our people embedded whites this is what's up until we know what that region entire region is suffering from

a lot of crises and cannot afford more because two weeks ago sounded a crown prince mohammed bin send then met the u.s. president saadi arabia and its allies say the embargo imposed on qatar won't be lifted alas doha changes its foreign policy what we have seen so far is that the crisis has brought in external actors such as russia to. turkey and iran into the region which makes it even more dangerous because the instability there. would increase if the us is perceived to lose influence and able to solve the crisis which indigenously see itself a meeting between gulf leaders was shuttled in the u.s. for next month but is now expected to take place later this year the u.s. is trying to nara differences among its rival our allies this biggest concern that a failure to find a political solution to the quizes could further erode its standing in the region

and undermine its push to defeat i still. washington d.c. coming up in the news. you're not going to convince the israeli public of anything peaceful coming out of hamas are the israeli media are portraying protests in gaza . the family of a u.s. journalist killed in syria launches unprecedented legal action against bashar al assad's government. and in sport liverpool star most solid raises hopes about his fitness ahead of a champions league quarter final. police in colombia have arrested a former negotiator for fark rebels who is wanted in the us on charges of drug smuggling has some tritch was about to take up one of the ten seats in parliament to guarantee to the group which became a political party after a peace deal signed in twenty sixteen he's accused of conspiring with three others

to smuggle several tons of cocaine into the us with a wholesale value of fifteen million dollars prison one man your son so says he's willing to approve his extradition if it's supported by the evidence eric farnsworth is a vice president of the council of americas he joins us now from washington d.c. on skype good to see you every farnsworth what do you make of this race and what sort of impact will it have on the group and its reputation. well it's clearly a shock and a bit of a surprise that somebody so senior would be caught up so directly in drug trafficking in direct violation of the peace accords that were signed so this is clearly a setback but i think president one will found out from colombia has that right if the charges are can be proven and are clearly shown to be not political in nature the fark doesn't have much of a leg to stand on this as i said is clearly a violation of the peace accords and so will have to be prosecuted accordingly and

what impact do you think it will have on the fox politico pots and considering many in the country don't support then being absorbed into politics. well this is really an important point you're right there is still a deep mistrust of the fark and in some corners really dismissal of the fact that they should be part of the political process and also this will give ammunition to a large segment of the population who said from the beginning you can't trust the far to uphold the peace accords that they've signed and i think president santos is really trying to maintain a very difficult road here he's trying to maintain the momentum of the peace accords from both sides of both implementation by the fark and also the political support of the colombian government and the colombian people meanwhile you have an election for president of colombia will be occurring in may and this issue is

clearly going to be part of that because the candidates for president are from both the left and the right and the implementation of the peace accords and how much. political space should be given to the former. violent revolutionaries is clearly going to be part of the political discussion so that's something that i think we have to watch very closely i should imagine the country's going through an incredibly important time now isn't it i mean there in reintegration its reputation where it goes to from here. yeah that's exactly right and you know colombia's go out of state not just in terms of the peace accords but in terms of the economy which has been sluggish and they need to find ways to reenergize flat the people of colombia have in some ways thought that the outgoing government really hasn't paid enough attention to the economy and some of the domestic issues in a full time quest for peace with the far are so this is an important time in the country and as i mentioned the voters will have

a choice between some very different candidates for president and so at this time next year we might be looking at a totally different colombia you know going to be sent good talking to eric finds a thank you thank you supporters of jailed palestinian teenager i had to meet me avril east footage of her being questioned by the israeli army in the video of two men i had making comments about the seventeen year old's fair skin and eye color to me was detained in december after being filmed slapping an israeli soldier near her home in the occupied west bank nominee as well from ramallah. it's a video that supporters of a had to be me say exposes the abusive tactics used against the palestinian teenager in an attempt to coerce her into a confession members have to be nice family see the video highlights of verbal harassment and intimidation by two male israeli interrogators they say one portion showing the two men referring to me as hair color and eyes is particularly

a hero to many palestinians israeli officials have defended to mimi's arrest saying they're protecting their soldiers and stopping what they call the incitement of violence last month to me agreed to a plea deal with israeli prosecutors to avoid more serious charges that could have led to her being imprisoned for years human rights defenders say what happened to me is not an isolated incident to prison so i think there's really. widespread practice and all sorts to represents there is a very new show. to target children and they target children by different groups for instance by torturing them by understood them by detained them many are outraged by the video especially by the presence of one of the two interrogators i've seen i don't know hundreds of off interrogation sessions i have never seen a military intelligence officer present in one of these interrogations simply never

seen it in hundreds of interrogations of huge is not he's not. he's not police he's military intelligence why was military intelligence presence there the israeli army says it's passed a complaint filed by to me is lawyer of improper conduct by the investigator to the justice ministry and it's being examined. palestinian activists say that perhaps most of all i had to mimi's case has highlighted the plight of palestinian children . aid organizations say there are around three hundred palestinian minors currently being held in israeli jail and whose cases like i had to meet me are being heard or will be heard before a military court and according to activists those miners will ultimately also have to enter into plea bargains or risk facing long term detentions how much of a model in the occupied west bank. thirty one palestinians are confirmed dead in gaza after the israeli army opened fire on demonstrations that began ten days ago gaza's health ministry says

protest in gaza. i think the media is reflecting that they're calling them peaceful protests the problem is you're not going to convince the israeli public of anything peaceful coming out of hamas maybe it's peaceful out of friday but saturday sunday monday tuesday wednesday and thursday it's going to be back to the hamas violence israel's mass circulation newspapers in print and online have largely maintain the government's narrative israel today uses an army quote in its headlines it says we will not allow the hamas protests to become the norm another popular newspaper get off are not terror disguised and hamas of the friends against photographs of protesters in costumes and only all of the newspapers only the left leaning haaretz quote. directly officials and headline referring to last friday as nine people killed three hundred injured by live fire. contribution with the

service sector to foreign banks and insurance companies they've complained in the past that they've been shut out of this sector so that again is also very significant he's also said that he will reduce tariffs on other high quality products that chinese people want and has promised to what he said bring about balanced trade now he didn't name the united states or president trump but it's quite clear that he had president trump in mind when he outlined a number of these details he's also vowed to protect international property rights and good inforce the rule of law in these areas so yes it does seem on the face of it at least to be something of an olive branch but of course what we don't really know is the detail of the timeline for all of this to happen president xi has promised that these policies would be enforced as soon as possible it will be interesting to see in a few hours' time what president donald trump makes of all of this all right let's leave it there and get it to dan wang china analyst at the economist intelligence

unit she joins us now from beijing good to have you with us what do you make of his comments so far and how it's playing this. i think his comments are quite large and expected actually to talk about those issues the us care about the most like reducing the trade deficit and protecting ip to be honest i think at this point there is not much he can commit because a bit dangerous for him to give away too much before securing an answer from the u.s. side at this point the trade war hasn't started yet or know if there are any specific trade measures into mid june and before then i think china's main strategy will only be react what does he and china need to hear from donald trump now in order to deflate this looming trade war.

now it is in this period of public consultation on the u.s. side and still for doesn't look like a trade war is a horizon because so far china's response is quite proportionate it's not trying to ask ali and according to see speech in a wall forum china is opening up it's going to open up more in his financial market in automobile and those are issues that china has discussed with donald trump or he visited last year i was going to ask you what china needs to do to resuscitate its own economy what's the bigger picture here another long term strategy. well for china the task is actually quite difficult because now that the main motto is still quite investment how so there's huge investment in infrastructure and there's a big focus on transitioning economy into a consumer based economy however in order to do this there has to be

a quite stable international environment china need to be able to show the world that it is still open call me and wants to attract more foreign investment at this point it is quite difficult because the capital account is controlled so strictly the political environment is also tighter than before so according to what we hear today there might be more border moves coming in the year but we still have to wait and see thank you for that than when. facebook chief executive mark zuckerberg has apologized to u.s. politicians for a previously breach affecting millions of users so coburg will appear before two congressional committees on tuesday and wednesday in washington d.c. he'll answer questions about the misuse of data from up to eighty seven million users practical hey hasn't mark zuckerberg up until now known for his laid back style his stunning college invention that made him a very young billionaire but perception of the facebook founder seems to be

that regulation could be right around the corner so could big fines millions of dollars ephemeral investigators conclude that facebook wasn't living up to a past agreement to protect privacy so now facebook is promising changes restricting who can see user data expanding new stricter privacy protections demanded by the european union to all of its users worldwide allowing research into the effects of social media on elections and increasing security staff privacy advocates say that won't be enough i think it's frankly absurd that people are assuming that the company that cause these problems is going to fix these problems this is precisely why we need democratic how to billet we need public oversight for these companies zuckerberg performance on the hill could have a big impact on whether there is new oversight and accountability and whether a growing number of people continue to unfriend the site to call hane al-jazeera

washington independent monitors are questioning the fairness of hungary's elections which saw victor obama win a third straight term as prime minister the organization for security and cooperation in europe says of the candidates weren't able to compete equally with obama reeling as pati voters had a wide range of political options but intimidating and seen a photograph of rick media bias and opaque campaign financing constricted the space for genuine political debate. hindering voters' ability to make a fully informed choice the ability of contestants to compete on an equal basis was significantly compromised by the government's excessive spending on public information advertisements that amplified the ruling coalition's campaign message obama's two thirds majority will allow him to press ahead with constitutional

changes and hardline policies on immigration john howell reports from budapest. analysts talk to fatigue left wing activists fought an energized opposition would strike a blow to victor all bands power they were wrong maybe name starting to look i mean our country hungry is still not there where we would like it to be but it's already started to go the way that it chose for itself we're going to go together this way in victory or been declared himself the defender of traditional hungary and values a familiar theme the enemy mainly muslim refugees poised to invade despite a large fence built on hungary's southern border in defiance of brussels also those who enable the pro immigration n.g.o.s and independent media. he's changed the constitution before how far might victor all ban be prepared to go now it's

really on for seeable i mean i'm pretty sure that he will go against civil society organizations he tried to shut them down he probably tried to limit their finances i think he will go against independent media outlets would still exist in the country and i also think that he might go against independent judiciary. there's a name for viktor all bands system of government he calls it a liberal democracy it's basically the primacy of populist nationalism over individual freedoms and along with popular economic policies half the voters of this country support it those who don't are in for a troubling four years but it just isn't a bust choice for us because they are. every rule in hungary they are didn't respect the people in hungary they think they can do anything with the hungry people. very much like these from or.
