its defense ministry says its interviewed people who were who were filming recent treat receiving treatment in hospital and that it was all faked to build anti russian sentiment has also accused britain of being directly behind the fabrication . that isn't that i would advise us to wait for results because the o.p.c. w. commission under pressure from russia and the syrian government has left for syria there will be zuma there are a specialist couldn't find any chemical weapons for him whatever being used we have irrefutable evidence that it was another staged event at the hands of the security services of a state which is very eager to be in the front lines of a superb complain all the u.k. was swift to deny what it's describing as bizarre allegations this is great task it's a blatant lie it's the worst piece of fake news we've yet seen from the russia propaganda machine but i would like to take this opportunity to state categorically to you the

world's press that britain has no involvement and would never have any involvement in the use of a chemical weapon well un secretary general antonio terrace is one that increasing tensions over syria could ignite a full blown military escalation and a security council meeting called by russia terrorists urged all members to act responsibly increasing tensions and the inability to reach a compromise in the establishment of an accountability mechanism certain to leads to a flu been regenerating my deep concerns about the risks of the current impasse and stressed the need to avoid the situation spiraling out of control while my countless been following events at the united nations hi there mike so what else was said today at the u.n. . well julie we heard that call there for unity from the secretary general but that

assad's most recent use of poison gas against the people of duma was not his first second third or even forty night use of chemical weapons the united states estimates that assad has used chemical weapons in the syrian war at least fifty times and no softening of rhetoric from the russian side either the russian ambassador continuing to insist that the chemical weapons attack in syria simply did not happen. the slogan the put there was didn't you that when you there is no credible confirmation of this our specialists are no traces of toxic substances the residents of duma know nothing about such attack all information about has been provided by anti-government forces who have an interest in such a development of events we have weighty justification to believe and information to

believe that what took place was a provocation with the participation of certain countries intelligence services so at the end of a week in which the security council met a number of times on the syrian issue there's been no progress whatsoever in fact the council today appears more divided than it's been than ever before my camera there live from the united nations with the laces like thank you. as us health ministry says one palestinians killed more than seven hundred fifty others have been injured during ongoing process along the israel border she wanted of the victims who were injured by live israeli fire friday's post as flag burning in a part of an ongoing call for a right of return for palestinians harry fawcett has been at the post office and
