navy carrier task force led by the u.s.s. harry truman is sailing towards the region tops also been conferring with world leaders like french president bakr all and british prime minister theresa may. it's an astonishing and confusing wrapping up of rhetoric for a president who said just a week ago that he wants to get out of syria what is clear is it appears the united states is determined to hold those responsible for the suspected attack accountable can really help get al-jazeera at the white house. has more now from the reaction from moscow. well the russian response to escalating tensions around syria is to say don't do anything that would destabilize the country any further door trumps tweets seems to be
6:05 am
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.

fate of the assad government which has been carrying out attacks with impunity is not going to change but as a former u.s. ambassador to syria he says there should be more evidence that the syrian government launched a chemical attack before america proceeds with a military response. there is an agreement that the organizations who are prevention of chemical weapons should go will go to syria with the support of the syrian authorities. but then organization is not about to assign blame it will report back on the. whether there is evidence of the use of chemical weapons but they will not so we need to i don't know the state of planning in washington but it does seem that they the more facts of who did what. we were worthy of the impact was was felt in the in duma president mccrone wants to be involved in the whatever actions. prime minister may choose where didn't work
