zero. zero zero zero i maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes president taunts russia telling it in a tweet to get ready because missiles a coming to syria. a military plane crashes into a field in algeria killing all two hundred fifty seven people on board. angry demonstrators lay the bodies of people killed in recent clashes in the central african republic at the door of the united nations. and myanmar sentences seven soldiers to ten years in prison for killing ten reign the muslims but two journalists still face up to fourteen years for investigating the massacre.

i'm joining in doha with all your day's sports news as israel madrid hope to avoid the same exit as spanish rivals barcelona they'll face eventis for a place in the champions league semifinals in the next hour. i'll come to the program russia has told the united states it should be aiming its smart missiles at terrorists not at the syrian government this after u.s. president donald trump warned of missile strikes in syria following a suspected chemical attack in duma on twitter he wrote russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at syria get ready russia because they will be coming nice and new and smart he added you shouldn't be partners with a gas killing an animal who kills his people and enjoys it. well trump's tweet followed an early a warning from a russian ambassador that any u.s. missiles would be shot down he also suggested that the launch sites would be

targeted washington has been threatening military action since the alleged chemical attack on saturday russia's defense ministry has called it a fabrication saying there is no evidence of poisonous substances that you put your food that you have there peter which i want to stress on the ninth of april the day after the alleged chemical attack in duma russian military specialists in the area of radiation chemical and defense and also medics arrived in the place of this alleged chemical weapons incident they took samples of the soil and collected the remnants of the so-called use of chemical weapons their expertise was conducted and it showed the absence of chlorine or poisonous substances but the world health organization says more than five hundred people treated in duma have symptoms which suggest exposure to toxic chemicals they include difficulty breathing and disruption to the central nervous system the u.n. health agency says this is based on reports from its partners in tuna is demanding

immediate unhindered access to provide care for the victims and i want house correspondent kelly health is monitoring events for us in washington so as we were hearing there president warning of impending missile strikes in syria any further indication of what the u.s. might do. well we are and this being widely reported that the u.s. defense secretary general james mattis is headed to the white house or is at the white house i can tell you i watched carefully for him between our news bulletins in the last hour to see if i could catch a glimpse was unsuccessful so we've not been able to independently confirm the media reports here in the united states that in fact the defense secretary is here at the white house we're hoping to get further clarification on that at a white house press briefing that is scheduled for about ninety minutes from now what i can tell you though certainly is with those tweets the president has definitely ask elated the rhetoric toward syria towards russia touching russia

vowing to shoot down incoming strikes certainly it appears the white house the united states the military building a case that there was in fact a chemical weapons attack this through videos through photographs and despite the denials from russia and syria the united states seems to be squarely pointing the blame at those two actors the president of course has canceled an overseas trip to latin america that he was scheduled to take at the end of this week the white house saying this is in order to oversee the response on syria but in terms of what that response might look like it is still very unclear. right the pride disclosure of military action which has effectively done with these tweets it seems to remove the element of surprise isn't it. yeah and you've picked up on something very important there mary and that is that the wording in that tweet by the president where he said the response would be smart essentially what he's referring to is

that spark technology the tomahawk missile which is precision guided using g.p.s. satellite coordinates we certainly seen the united states use this in the past one year ago in syria after the reports of a chemical weapons attack then and certainly if the u.s. were to respond again according to the president he's telegraphed what he may do and that's something that he certainly mocked the previous president barack obama for doing in iraq so certainly the president has left the united states in the world if you will with a very confusing picture on terms of what he might do next in syria given the fact that was just a week ago the president was saying he was interested in getting out of syria and now he is talking about escalation certainly has left a very confusing picture for the united states and the world what do we know about conversations that are taking place between the u.s. and allies whether this will be a joint response. well we've certainly heard repeatedly

from the white house press secretary sara sanders even as recently as yesterday i suspect again today that the united states keeps all options on the table and is working closely in partnership with its allies and quarter nation with its allies she must have said that at least a dozen times on tuesday i suspect we will hear that again and that is backed up by some of the actions we've known are taking place in recent days by the president namely videos held phone calls with two very important allies the french president event you know mccraw and also the british prime minister theresa may so certainly there is it appears a desire to work with the u.s. allies in terms of a response than should be somewhat measured in court native but again this seems to be the apparatus coming into place after the president speaks somewhat in haste particularly of social media all right thank you very much kimberly how it with all the latest from washington or a challenge that brings us more now on what we've been hearing from the russian

capital moscow. well the russian response to escalating tensions around syria is to say don't do anything that would destabilize the country any further dollar trumps tweets seems to be a direct response to something that the russian ambassador to lebanon said recently in an interview to a hezbollah controlled t.v. channel which was essentially that if there was a u.s. military strike against syria in any form then russian air defense systems would shoot u.s. missiles out of the sky and hit back against the launch sites of those missiles now he seems to be slightly misquoting something that the russian chief of general staff general gerasim off said about a month ago which was that if russian personnel russian infrastructure was threatened by u.s. strikes in syria then there would be such

a response so we don't quite know whether this misquoting was intentional or not but the russian general response to all this has been not really to take donald trump's bait the foreign ministry says that any u.s. missile should be targeted at the terrorists in syria not as the foreign ministry puts it the legitimate governments assets governments and the kremlin has said rather dismissively that russia does not deal in twitter diplomacy that they are more serious their approach is well takis prime minister. says that the u.s. and russia are acting like street fighting bullies. given that out there are they threatening each other by tweeting do you expect the world to remain a spectator to your mutual exchange of words the disappearance of millions of people in the future of the region more missiles better know my missiles better launch it if you launch it this will happen it's

a street fight the fighting like street bullies but who's paying the price for it civilians this isn't the time for competition it's time to heal the wounds of the region. has more now from gaza and tap on the tacky syria border it's a strange wait inside syria where air strikes or missile strikes by the united states are imminent people on the ground in the seized area of where this chemical attack on saturday but may have been telling us about their difficulties and their suffering not moving the moving image is only getting worse after this attack and this rhetoric that's mean ratcheting up between the united states and russia a fight is on the ground are not actually hopeful by anything that will be moving after these strikes because they saying this is not the first time that the united states will be carrying out these strikes and they say that the united states will be warning the russians in advance of how and where it's going to hit them so it is

a very strange wait for them where you are the u.s. president is tweeting about his attack he's saying that it's going to be shiny and new missiles that the russians are going to face inside syria but yet he's going to warn them in advance as well on the ground inside duma more people have been able to leave today five thousand people left for another northern part of syria people have been besieged there for years and activists on the ground are saying that all that all of this rhetoric the suffering of the people inside syria are the fate of the assad government which has been carrying out attacks with impunity is not going to change. as a visiting fellow not him university center for conflict security and terrorism he joins me live now thanks very much for coming in to speak to us so a year ago the u.s. response to an alleged chemical weapons attack in syria involved some fifty nine chris missiles being launched at the shariat syrian ad base what will a potential strike involve now well according to the words coming out of washington

may least through president trump it would involve missiles small missiles to use his words that it has to be seen in the context of mr trump's personality in particular style ordinarily military commanders don't like to declare what they're going to do and how they could do it beforehand so the d.o.d. the defense department and the u.s. military may decide to use a different method but what does appear to be coming out is it's going to be what is known as a standoff attack so involving cruise missiles probably some other forms of missiles to avoid the possibility of engagement between russian and u.s. or u.s. back to craft russian. warplanes and ships coming into direct contact is what i think both sides want to avoid because if that happens the very

big red line is crossed and we're into some very very difficult target involving war between russia and the u.s. and that's something that nobody is really ready for what about the targets the u.s. military has said that the syrians are we position ng some of their military assets in order to contain the fallout from any potential strike where what could we see potentially being the target of any u.s. attack will it will almost certainly be. syrian military assets bases the only difference i think from last time is that the syrians were given. the tip off while the russians and they were able to. disperse many of their assets so not many people and not much equipment was destroyed in this particular case it sounds as though that warning is not going to be available and what we might see happening is if the russians are treating their words is some of those missiles at

least being intercepted no a defense system is full proof so i would guess a fairly significant proportion would get through to the targets that are intended or can there ever be an effective military strike treated grade or destroy any chemical weapons capability what is the purpose of any such attack that would stay close a very good question what is the purpose if we know where the chemical weapons are that they can be destroyed and if they do attack chemical weapons installations the question has to be asked why have they attacked them before i doubt that they are any chemical weapons installations of the west knows about so this these attacks will be general military targets if the sufficiently robust and sufficiently destructive what that will mean is russia's capacity to help the syrian regime counter the so-called terrorist threat would be much reduced and that would cause

a great deal of instability on the ground who might even see a resurgence of these. extremists coming back into cup to recapture some of their tertiary. all right thank you very much our cell ashraf appreciate you sharing your analysis with us as you're. at the news hour live from london much more still to tell you about serbian nationalist vojislav says he's proud of his war crimes as he sentenced to ten years in jail. we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake. mark zuckerberg splotched uses on his second day of testifying to congress over the kind which analytical data scandal. and he was suspended for unethical behavior but now former president sepp blatter says fifo is moving in the wrong direction that's coming up with joe and sports.

we want to take a trial geria now where three days of mourning have just been announced after a military plane crash near algiers killing more than two hundred fifty people most were military personnel but the dead also include members of an independence group and refugees on a honda has more two hundred fifty seven people were on board the military aircraft it went down shortly after takeoff crashing near a military airport south of l.g. is the defense ministry says that many of the passengers was soldiers some of them accompanied by their families a number of people survived this family was among those being treated hurt when the plane crashed into a field close to where he was working going to the last go i could see that as soon as the plane took off it started to fall and the plane flew over my head and came really close the wing clipped me as i was jumping to get out of the way and then it burst into flames i've survived by the grace of god. the military aircraft was on

its way to the algerian region of besh it stopping all fintan doof it's a region on the border with the disputed territory of waste in sahara thousands of whiston sahara is have sought refuge here the polisario front a group that's been fighting for the independence of western sahara sit in a statement that sushi of the passengers will whiston so hiren's hitting back after getting medical treatment in now g. is the aircraft was a soviet designed to military transport plane the crash is likely the worst in algeria is aviation history made in the holland al-jazeera. well let's get more on this now from hamdi barlow who is a journalist with the huffington post algeria he joins us live from algiers thank you very much for speaking to us so three days of mourning declared there following this plane crash there must be a sense of shock and sadness how would you describe the reaction

well obviously there's a lot of shock and sadness here in the country it's the worst or plane crash in the history of algeria it's the form of the earliest plane crash in the in the world in the last twenty years so yeah there's a lot of shock and sadness here in in all gerson as well as in the country as a whole one of the police what is the government saying about the investigation that is now to take place. we don't know much about what caused the crash right now but the military because it's a military aircraft the better announced an investigation today well as you can imagine these things they are a while so we might know more about what caused the crash and the incident in the coming days given that it was a military plane as you point out and one flight that had just taken off

from a military base i think some twenty miles from from where you are from the capital algiers does this mean that any findings from an investigation won't be publicly disclosed yeah those will remember there is not known for. its openness about information so vo has to gauge and work to conduct that but we might never find out what actually happened but we'll see what happens in the coming days what can you tell us about the the air base the military base twenty miles southwest of algiers and the area this particular area where the plane came down. well it's one of the most important bases in the country that it contains a military airport as well it is not far from

a residential area and apparently the. according to reports by media of the pilot of the plane of void the residual area in order to crush it in a in a form. well thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on this with us from huffington post algeria hand the joining us there from algae is thank you. well now saudi arabia has intercepted a ballistic missile fired from yemen over the capital riyadh the hoofy rebels say they were targeting the defense ministry in riyadh no reports of any damage saudi air defenses of also shot down two unmanned yemeni drones in southern saudi arabia one of the drives was targeting the international airport the second was in japan province and feel rebels that they were targeting saudi arabia's oil facilities justin bronc is a research fellow in air power and technology at the royal united services

institute here in london he says such activity from the who these is to reinforce their strong presence and manpower in the region i think the timing is potentially more about keeping up a steady drumbeat of missile attacks to show you send a message to saudi arabia but also to other actors who are watching in the region and beyond that the threat isn't going away that the who these are not being militarily defeated. and probably hoping to some sort of message start a wait and starve them out approach isn't working so perhaps it's time mr thomas come for something else please from the perspective maybe dialogue. i'm not sure that's going to work but it's certainly an interesting fact to the movies have kept up this regular drumbeat of strikes rather than trying to concentrate all their available assets for want of a big action. be a nationalist politician vojislav shah shell has been sentenced to ten years in jail for war crimes he said he was proud of the crimes attributed to him and would

repeat them in the future show was initially acquitted by a u.n. court of committing crimes against the balkan wars in the one nine hundred ninety s. that's now been partially overturned in the hague on appeal as he said of twelve years in pretrial detention a judge ordered his sentence be considered as time already sabs anon raul ditch has more now from the hague. he has been found guilty for persecution on political gratiot and religious grounds of known sobs exactly on the cross just not in boston and even in vojvodina it's probably in the north serbia among the crowds leave as well as for deprivation and forcible resettlement before two years or he was being acquitted of all charges for the charges included in the store cruel treatment the destruction of the villages destruction of religious

buildings and pillaging of public or private property culliver prosecution has baze the indictment hate speech and during the war he is sending volunteers from serbia to create and boss the end. the court didn't prove a systematic attack against cross happened but of the conclusion of the tribunal was that the plan of establishment of the greater serbia is a just political process not crime and statements such as these let the prosecution be for two years to conclude that the render judgment was in a shop contrast with all other judgments rendered by i.c.t. i. spent eleven and furious in the hague that pension the unit this star will be included in tow his sentence which means that he is a also formally free. facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg is testifying in the u.s.

congress for a second day about the massive breach of uses private data the thirty three year old billionaire apologized several times and promised to make meaningful reforms to protect data privacy facebook has been in the spotlight after the personal information of eighty seven million users was harvested by the political consultancy firm cambridge analytics i think it's clear now that we didn't do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm as well and that goes for fake news foreign interference in elections and hate speech as well as developers and due to privacy we didn't take it broad enough view of our responsibility and that was a big mistake it was my mistake and i'm sorry i started facebook i run it at the end of the day i'm responsible for what happens here well shutdown see is monitoring events for us on capitol hill so we were hearing an apologetic

monza come back just what's emerged on the second day of his grilling of congress. i think what's emerged doozies just going to get away with it pretty unscathed after these two days of congressional hearing certainly facebook shares of continue their rise there were four and a half percent up yesterday last time i checked there about a one hundred percent up today i mean there is that sense that despite some slightly more pointed questions i think in the house there is very little likelihood of major searing regulation oversight over facebook thickly soon and if there is regulation it will be in conjunction with facebook who is still seen as a trusted partner of congress in trying to put together some sort of oversight that's not to say that we haven't got to have some interesting interesting nuggets of information the existence of shabu profiles for example zuckerberg saying he isn't even aware of the term holder on the question having to admit that facebook keeps data profiles of people who aren't even members of facebook he says it's something to do with security however he claims not to know what the term shadow

proof means also that facebook is keeping an eye on our browsing data you know internet. browser google chrome or internet explorer or something like that not even when we're logged into facebook it's keeping an eye on the sort of sites we're visiting on our browser again he says it's just temporarily kept and it's about a marketing purpose but we're getting a little nuggets of just how invasive facebook is but little expectation of anything major in the near future to affect facebook's conduct in the u.s. at least and. european privacy law has come up during this hearing shap and i'm just saying here. is the declines to say whether or not he agrees with this privacy law. right and then he also went back on them so at first he was asked point blank so there's these new regulations coming into effect in your post by the european parliament in late may

which are going to mean that users in europe will have explicit opt in this for data harvesting to have the right to get all the information that is being data harvested about them and so on with clear terms and conditions and we always sign off saying yes we agree to the terms and conditions but it actually read these rather complicated statements in under the new european legislation those terms conditions what we have to understand them at least at first it was also a case of now that you're doing that in europe will that those same protections before to those in the u.s. and he said yes and then about twenty minutes later he was asked again and he often skated he said well you know some of these elements will we afford to american users but maybe not all of them and so on so that was very costly exactly as we discovered now there is an expectation of those european rules will be extended to other citizens in all european countries other than the u.s. and canada because a lot of the data is processed and odd and which is under these european under these european rules for the rest of the world however it isn't clear clear that we will have those sort of safeguards instituted now as a matter of course in the u.s.

not happy at all the men who carried out the killings were only sentenced to ten years do you think that's fair. and. i would like to ask the government does the servicing of the murderous routine with democratic standards we journalists just did our job in line with our rights of a free press in a democratic country and now we are facing a possible sentence of fourteen use and the murder is only got turn when all the developments myanmar social welfare relief and resettlement minister is on a three day visit to bangladesh when i met ringo refugees in cox's bazaar the country's first high ranking official to make a trip like this he told them they could return home to wrack kind stay united nations has condemned the persecution of muslim rango by the animals army tanveer choudhry has more on what's being done to improve the condition of the camps in cox is bizarre. most of the ranger references are living in slope a hilltop like there's an area highly vulnerable to monsoon rains now according to you and they are over one hundred thousand refugees are in an area they're highly
