gross 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 and a 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. stories of life. and inspiration. and series of short documentaries from around the world that celebrate the human spirit against the arts. al-jazeera cinemax gangs.

this is al jazeera. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from doha i'm martine dennis coming up in the next sixty minutes. precise overwhelming and effective the u.s. says allied missile strikes in syria were a success and threatens to act again if there are more chemical attacks. at the u.n. security council it rejects russia's resolution to condemn the strikes. in syria dominates the summit of the americas in peru with the u.s. vice president defending the military action plus. tens of thousands of south africans bid farewell to the mother of the nation.

the u.s. says it's locked and loaded for another military strike if the syrian government uses chemical weapons again well that warning follows the most significant western allied attack against president bashar al assad's government since. seventy of war began the u.s. the u.k. and france launch more than one hundred missiles on sites that they say were linked to syria's chemical weapons program and it was in retaliation for last saturday's suspected chemical attack on the town of duma well the smoke was still rising from those sites as reaction came in from leaders across the region turkey expressed its support for the strikes the syrian government and iran though called them criminal while russia drafted a u.n. security council resolution to condemn what it called the aggression the resolution

was voted down more on that shortly but first this report from al-jazeera as defense correspondent patty culhane from the pentagon. i used three words to describe this operation precise overwhelming and effective at the pentagon claims of success as they roll out slides to show what they say is total destruction of three chemical weapon sites in syria a research facility a bunker and a storage area in all one hundred five missiles and bombs fired from u.s. british and french ships submarines and aircraft the pentagon says russia didn't try to fire back and they claim all of syria's attempts to shoot them down failed we've attacked the heart of the syrian chemical weapons program i'm not saying they're not going to be able to reconstitute their theory although it's not saying that it's going to continue but this is dealt them a very serious blow so that i think that's that's the core of what i'm saying u.s. president donald trump was quick to claim victory on twitter writing mission accomplished a spokesperson here at the pentagon tried to clarify that rather broad statement

saying this particular mission was successful or accomplished they admit though they didn't destroy all of syria's suspected chemical weapons russia and syria have denied that chemical weapons were used investigators from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons arrived in syria hours after the strikes the u.s. says it didn't need to wait for their findings they have evidence enough but they've provided none of it to the public whine a lot of this has to do with intelligence and and i'm very happy to show evidence if i can that we were very confident about the decisions we made the u.s. is not saying this is over they say that depends entirely on what the assad government decides to do next particle hane al-jazeera at the pentagon. so russia's resolution condemning the missile attacks as a violation of international law was heavily rejected at the u.n. security council moscow called the council into emergency session to condemn the

u.s. led action but it was supported only by two other countries on the fifteen member party mike hanna has more from the u.n. . this is the first time the council has met on syria this week a series of meetings that have served only to illustrate the massive divide on the issue because the secretary general's repeated calls for unity ignored they are all members to show restraint in these dangerous circumstances and to avoid any acts that could escalate matters and worsening the suffering of the syrian people the meeting was called by russia and its close ally in the council bolivia and outrage was expressed at the strikes took place even as international experts arrived in damascus to investigate whether or not a chemical attack actually took place or brings up in a gruesome news learned that the organizers of the aggression didn't even wait for the elementary establishment of facts by an international organization which is

authorized to do that they supposedly determine everything for themselves and you turman who was guilty u.k. ambassador argued the strikes were justified in terms of international law and in the representative from france was adamant that in the absence of diplomatic agreement the strikes were the only form of sanction against syria that remained and the u.s. ambassador threatened further action i spoke to the president this morning and he said if the syrian regime uses this poisonous gas again the united states is a lot and loaded when our president draws a red line our president enforces the red line. like every resolution on syria introduced in the past week this one failed only russia bolivia and china voting in favor this well short of the nine votes that would have necessitated a veto from one of the permanent members despite a hopelessly split security council france says it will introduce yet another

resolution this one addressing the dismantling of the chemical weapons program in syria also aimed at forging a cease fire and a durable political solution for those seeking some straw to clutch in this diplomatic break away from the implacable confrontation informal session members of the council continue to informally even affectionately engage mike hanna al-jazeera united nations or the reaction to the strikes among syrian them syrians themselves is divided supporters of the government of call them illegal and the western allies hypocrites meanwhile the opposition say they don't go far enough and that all attacks by the syrian government must be stopped so a binge of aid ripples from gaziantep in southern turkey on the border with syria. this is what's left of the birds

a scientific research center targeted by missiles from the u.s. britain and france the site near the syrian capital damascus was among three alleged chemical weapons facilities hit during the joint operation the u.s. hopes the assad government got the message that its actions will not go unpunished . but the tone on syrian state media was that of defiance in the face of what they called tripartite aggression. we did not sleep at night honestly we went to the streets to support the army and the air force struck down the missiles. syria's war has divided opinion in the middle east people came out in solidarity with the assad government in. cities where their support for iran and hezbollah or their is high and the u.s. sentiment to the relief of the syrian government and its allies the operation was limited instead of a much discussed sustained attack the syrian government thanked its russian partners for the warning about the much anticipated strikes after days of tough

rhetoric between u.s. and russia the syrian government had already evacuated military installations and cleared potential targets and allies of bashar al assad have been unequivocal in their support. last night strike that happened at dawn against syria is a crime clearly announce that the u.s. president the french president and the british prime minister are criminals and have committed a crime. those on the receiving end of the syrian government's attacks and welcomed the military action and we support the american strike because we support everything that targets the syrian regime we know that this bombardment will not lead to the fall of the regime targets this criminal regime we are supporting i suspected chemical attack on duma last week predictably support the allies of the assad government and dogs who oppose it well russia denies the attack ever took place turkey says assad's actions must have consequences their own gender just didn't follow it was unthinkable to leave all the attacks the regime has conducted

an ant said that is why we welcome this operation because we can't tolerate what has happened in the perpetrator has to pay for it and the regime has to understand that this inhumane and lawless attack will not stay on. the syrian opposition backed the turkish president's call for an end to all kinds of attacks against civilians the u.s. britain and france that assad wasn't targeted the government forces and assets remain intact the intention they say was to force the assad government to stop using chemical weapons but according to a syrian opposition member the message that they seem to have received is that the assad government and its allies can continue their killings just not using chemical weapons some of and other syria as. well in the u.k. and in france questions are being else about the legality of launching the strikes before consulting calment phillips has more from london. into the dark on loan from their base in cyprus british tornadoes headed into the night sky armed

with storm shadow missiles which they would fire at a military facility just outside homs the objective according to the prime minister very specific in scope this is not about intervening in a civil war it is not about regime change. it is about a limited and targeted strike that does not further escalate tensions in the region we cannot allow the use of chemical weapons to become normalized french jets were also on their way and the french government described the attack on syria in similar language. this it is limited to precise objectives the destruction of the chemical capacity of the syrian regime in order to prevent them from carrying out more chemical attacks and pursuing a strategy of terror against its own population this action is proportionate and targeted. on the streets of paris some support for the

a time due to move to sit to talk i think that the strike that was announced is a good thing i think that is our western societies duty to advocate a certain example to me says. it's dangerous to face up to russia we don't know how relations can be with pollution. back in london it's possible that british public opinion halted as it is seen here as the disastrous invasion of iraq maybe more skeptical the main opposition leader characteristically cautious about the use of force parliament should be consulted parliament should be allowed to take a view on this but instead the strikes were launched last night parliament is in session on monday she could have comes parliament on monday to discuss the whole situation instead it launches strikes she claims there is a legal basis for it i've asked her in a letter i've just sent to this morning to publish in full the legal basis and justification for it well later in the day the government did publish

a summary of the legal advice which it took before launching the attack it justified it on the basis that the suffering in duma had been extreme and that the use of british forces had been proportionate that's the argument to reason may will make when she appears before members of parliament on monday but already critics are saying that that parliamentary debate should have taken place before not after the attack was launched but to be philip's al-jazeera westminster in central london . let's go live now to washington d.c. and talk to our correspondent there alan fischer alan so you've heard about the questions facing terrorism a in the u.k. what kind of debate is there in washington d.c. we've already heard that president trump has uses rather unfortunate words of mission accomplished i'm just wondering how that's feeding into opinion in washington. well certainly he's found a very difficult time on twitter not that i'm sure he fears that much attention to

that applies for the use of mission accomplished which of course has a cause of the iraq war notably when george w. bush flew to a near craft carrier in unknowns that the operations in iraq mission accomplished and then a few months later we saw the insurgency which caused many more problems for the united states we know that donald trump has spoken to both through samee and president mccraw in the last few hours he said in both calls that they had agreed that the u.s. strikes were successful and necessary and during his conversation with president mike or france you said that there had to be a reinvigoration of multinational efforts to stabilize syria for the fight against i saw the state department also being speaking to a number of allies not least of spoken to the foreign ministers in kuwait in the czech republic and also in iraq but donald trump will be facing questions about the legality of this we had immediately after the strikes were launched that

a number of senators were questioning why he didn't go to congress but of course james mattis said that under article two of the constitution the president has the right to act if it's in american interests what they will have to do in the coming days and perhaps in the coming weeks is outline why a missile strike of this kind was in america's national interest and before the actual strikes got underway the president suggested that he was prepared for sustained action with regard to syria do we know that there's not happy tight for real intervening in syria if indeed there is another display of chemical weapons use in the country. well i think donald trump had flagged up the fact that he was going to take some sort of action but he's very keen to get out of syria we saw that at a political event two weeks ago when he suddenly announced with george dropping all across washington that they were going to be out of syria very very soon he

backtracked on that slightly and said when the job is done meaning when the battle against eisel is complete so there was never an intention for this to be a prolonged action certainly james mattis who is the defense secretary was concerned that if there was a sustained action it could lead to bigger problems people i've been speaking to washington over the last few hours seem to think that because the u.s. and their allies targeted places where the russians and the reunions were not present that may help because they feel whether this is correct or not their analysis is that the russians aren't ready to face up to america over this that they're really me use this for propaganda value but again they're not willing to confront america militarily over this and also the syrians simply don't have the capacity to do it the dust will have to settle both literally and figuratively but i suspect that come the talk shows in the united states on sunday and also on

monday when congress will start to analyze what's happened there maybe more questions for the trump administration to answer all right allan thank you very much right now we can talk to the child still for who is in camden maine and he served as a u.s. chief weapons inspector for iraqi weapons of mass destruction and he led the iraq survey group that investigated the scope of iraq's weapons program in two thousand and three charles good to talk to you precisely overwhelming and defect is that the way the u.s. administration is describing this operation what would you say do you think that this is successfully degraded president assad's chemical facility. well i think that's probably technically correct i'm sure it didn't improve the cube passages that. were chemical munitions but i think there's a lot of other things going on as well it's you know previous report talked a lot about the russian circumstances and i think it's very striking that here are

we fired over one hundred cruise missiles and apparently no one was hurt so i mean so you know to me extraordinary efforts were made to avoid hitting or be involved with any of the russians on the ground which in a way makes them into human shields in a sense so i think a lot of this is really directed at russia saying look you better get your client back on board with respect to chemical munitions or this could really get worse meanwhile there is the team of experts the n.p.c. w. team now in syria in damascus presumably that there were clashes due to get underway when we assume there has been pretty much overshadowed by events well yes and no you know their task is very limited it's worth remembering that that their mandate is simply to determine if a client has occurred it's not they were able to investigate the crime they're simply there to determine chemical munitions chemical weapons been used in that

in that case they can do the second do by interviewing people that can take biological samples that look at preternatural successor and over some period of time which is likely to be weeks or even months it will report the line that something took place or didn't take place that's separate from the scene. but i just immediately you know they're not they're not tasked with pointing out what caused that was and that's absolutely but is it conceivable that in this period of time which is what over a week now that those who would wish to cover up any wrongdoing would have gone in and would have cleanse the scene would have removed what is potentially evidence. well that's certainly going to happen it could certainly make their task more difficult but you'd be surprised how much data that these investigators can get they can get no cell phone data they can look at creators they can take samples there's a lot of things they can do which are not obvious and things you really king when you are going completely erase so without the information coming from that team the

u.s. seemed to make up its mind pretty rapidly from james mattis talking and congress saying that they were still assessing the intelligence to maybe twelve hours later the state department and the white house confirming that they had proof and evidence of a chemical weapons attack having been perpetrated and that they knew who the culprit was do you believe that is that realistic i think it's realistic mark you know i think you know last time a year ago when this took place it was very shortly afterwards the united states laid out an intelligence document which which was you know pretty compelling and it's destruction of you know not only what happened but that the closure of the suit regime was that i would expect the same thing to happen this time and i also point to the fact that that france has put out an intelligence assessment which is pretty elaborate and making their case for a why they participated in this and why they believe it and with some pretty good evidence why the bottle of bottle of laundered he was sent back to charles silva

thank you very much good to tell it thank you. there's a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including. how an influx of syrian refugees is helping to boost jordan's economy and workforce. plus find out how u.s. trade tariffs on china could affect its lucrative beef industry. and in sports after disappointment in europe oscillator sets a new record in the spanish league details coming up the peter. syria has dominated discussions on the second and final day of the summit of the americas taking place in peru the u.s. vice president might pence called on leaders to support the u.s. led strikes mr pence said he is confident that government forces use chlorine gas

in last week's suspected chemical attack on live now to john homan our correspondent who's there in lima talking about syria has that distracted leaders of the americas from dealing with the main issue of what was supposed to be the main issue at the summit corruption. well it definitely hijacked at least a bit of the agenda here another of the main issues as well was the issue of venezuela the country that's experiencing humanitarian economic and political problems one of the things that's come out of this meeting is sixteen countries signing an agreement to call for free and fair elections in venezuela among other things in the united states has really been pushing that move to try and isolate venezuela and to try and push for sanctions but as you said syria came up as well in this meeting and vice president paint. was countries to rally round the

decision by the u.s. to lead a missile attack against syria as you'll hear now from him. but today. i call upon every nation in this hemisphere freedom to support this military action taken by the united states and our allies and to support it publicly and said the issue of venezuela is pretty much occupying many of the leads as mines as well what sort of concrete action if they decided upon how they going to deal with the situation in venezuela. well as far as concrete action we've got the sixteen country agreement saying that they're not really happy with what the situation is but little more than not be mentioned as well a little early corruption which was the official main theme of the summit now in terms of corruption the peruvian president which is hosting this summit came out and said to some it's been a success we've managed to come up with

a common agreement between the participating countries that didn't happen the last two summits and the agreements all about how they're going to tackle corruption but we've been looking through it and it seems that the agreement doesn't have any in forcible measures so in essence this is something that's about the goodwill of countries saying yes we are going to go ahead and tackle corruptions in the peruvian president said now it's up to you to see how you implement it so this summit has now finished. people will begin to going home the buildings emptying around me without any sort of concrete measures on how they're going to tackle something that's dominated in america after a huge bribery scandal in this region all right thank you very much john home and that live in the peruvian capital lima. somali security forces of blocked m r r t offices from transposing military equipment back to the u.a.e. it happened at an airport in the northeastern city of basra and morality officers

pool on the other we also have to go back and decide for ourselves what natural justice means as a country so i think that people feel aggrieved that african majority in this country many of them feel incredibly still and cleaved to noon the. by the idea that people who had brutalized traumatized that. dispossessed them live among us. we mandela was also embroiled in controversy she's been accused of human rights abuses during apartheid but she had been leadership of the a.n.c. and was criticised all vilifying and abandoning half to apartheid some of them are planning for me no i don't even have time there are you know turn around that or pretend that they're directed to me don't you know china that's our present day we're ready to go to be late into the end of the world after all was said and done we mandela's potential slowly made its way through so we're told the township she

how often can we recently use the word blizzard in april in the us or in canada not that often you think but that is exactly what this massive cloud was now it's not quite as vicious as when it produced a visit but it's still cold enough in the north the us about the tides enough for it to be windy and snowy weather and then further south dakota tops back inside here that cold front is potentially tornadic as it moves across the southern states to northern florida georgia and eventually the carolinas and there's the snow talking back into the northern ohio valley so this is you know this is lingering winter right through ontario as well same time on the pacific coast that cold front that line of green moves inland i think we'll see more snow produced here all the way down the californian rockies again you talk about middle of april talking about significant snow and chicago is it two degrees by this time still the north sea breeze down the plain states and right the way down to georgia only thirteen in atlanta the consequence that active cold front is seen further south as well

although at the moment very little is happening in the gulf of mexico all the mediterranean just might catch the north of the screen top of the screen that white cloud with there it is during sunday significant rain for western cuba and towards billie's and mexico. two one predictable details i've been working on north korea policy for almost thirty years i can't tell you what the u.s. policy is towards north korea vine photo what they want to deter an attack on the united states as the u.s. struggles to define its foreign policy silk lines examines the potential fallout we don't see really is a strategy designed to get those talks started because if they expect to surrender fire and fury trumps north korea crisis on al-jazeera one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to

a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for us as you know it's very challenging but it is but secure because you have a lot of people that if i did on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. take a look at the top stories here it out is era the u.s. says it's long term and loaded for another military strike if the syrian government uses chemical weapons again that warning follows the western allied attack against

president assad's government since the seven year war began. the warning of future action came during a u.n. security council meeting on saturday a russian drafted resolution condemning the western strikes on syria was voted down by the member countries. u.s. vice president mike pence has called on leaders at the summit of the americas to support the strikes on syria said he's confident assad's forces use chlorine gas in last week's suspected chemical attack. the russian president vladimir putin has spoken to the turkish president on the phone saying the actions of a number of western states violates international law. the russians are looking at what happens they're assessing the impact of these strikes and they're thinking this could have been a whole lot worse than it was if you think back to the beginning of the week and

all the kind of hot talk that was being thrown around the russian ambassador to lebanon saying that russia would be shooting all u.s. missiles out of the sky if they came anywhere near syria that it would actually be striking back against the platforms to launch them u.s. warships and u.s. planes none of that happens the cooler heads seem to have prevailed in washington d.c. perhaps persuading donald trump that there was no point in risking a great escalation and risking a greater conflict with russia so russian assets were not hurt russian lives were not endangered. iranian assets and iranian military lives were not endangered in this strike there were targets against three specific facilities that the u.s. and its allies believe were connected to syria's chemical weapons process those were hits but nothing else was under chapelle looked at the reaction to the strikes

on social media. when the serious strikes were announced much of the world started discussing it on twitter using the spanish english and french spellings of syria to debate whether the u.s. u.k. and france have made the right decision and looking at the online conversation in arabic one hashtags stood out on saturday america strikes this tweet from mohammed the leashes one of the most popular posts using the hash tag and he says the west message to kill as you wish when you wish and where you wish and how you wish but without chemical weapons and while these pictures of planes and missiles are for many in the west the signature images of this military strike syrian media spent much of saturday's showing pictures like these of syrian missile defense systems appearing to intercept some of the air strikes in syria and russia both say many of the missiles were stopped but the pentagon says this is completely false and that syrian forces fired missiles after the u.s.

coalition strikes were complete so all of this is part of the information war in overdrive since the apparent chemical attack one week ago president assad is very much involved here tweeting out a video of him showing up to work after the u.s. coalition strikes in what appears to be just a normal day of work while syrian state media also showed footage of people across the country celebrating what they consider to be the government's triumph over western aggression but some citizen journalists say that these pictures are fake fake news the video the president for example shows a shadow directly below a tree indicating it was taken mid day and not after the strikes as the post claims there's criticism of the u.s. u.k. and france as well thousands of british twitter users have used a hash tag not in my name theresa may and over in france the minister for armed forces florence parly tweeted out this video showing the control room for one of the missile launches. but as you can see all of the top reactions to her tweet have been people skeptical asking for evidence that syria actually used the chemical

weapon on its people and while no civilians were killed in the strikes development economist mohamed told us this military action did little to help syrian civilians unfortunately this is cheap political posturing on the part of the countries that are conducting the strikes if they actually cared about civilians they would support refugee programs that would let in more refugees on their territory the u.s. has taken eleven refugees this year from syria the u.k. and france have a terrible track record with that as well so of course it's unfortunate that this is just political messaging and it comes at the expense of of syrian civilians and so the information war continues to be fought on traditional and social media now the pentagon is reporting that there's been a two thousand percent increase in russian trolls within the last twenty four hours we've been speaking to kid job is a senior consulting fellow at the russian eurasia program chatham house and he says russia puts an abundance of resources towards the information more online. we have

to bear in mind that russia devotes enormous resources to trying to create the impression on social media that western policies are being criticised and that its own conspiracy theories are gaining support so the unfortunate fact is when you hear about the british tweets not in mine injuries and may or the french skepticism over the legal justification for launches you have to bear in mind that without close inspection you can't tell that these are british or french citizens and not in fact these russian trolls that have stepped up their activity and if you watched the press conference from the american syrian military this mattison done that immediately after the end of the missile strikes you will have seen they concluded with a warning that that this information campaign was about to be stepped up and indeed that is exactly what we have seen from russia over the last twenty four hours period russia has always seen information warfare as a really important means of achieving its geo political goals and achieving strategic objectives but what has really changed since crimea is that russia has

realized that information confrontation can in fact replace the aggression to do so crimea is held up as the gold standard of how if you get the information aspect right you can achieve the seizure of somebody else's territory really without a shot being fired and so since then they have concentrated even further on exploiting the potential of social media of exploiting mass consciousness mass public opinion and seeing where they can use this to leverage actual policy making by the adversaries in order to erode their options for resisting russia whether therion government now says it's retaken east and go to the announcement follows the departure of the last rebel fighters from duma the russian defense ministry says twenty one thousand people including rebels and their families have been evacuated government forces launched an offensive anything ghetto in february that by russia. more than seven hundred fifty thousand syrians have sold refuge in neighboring jordan which has put

all in all environment what's happening at sanibel and other factories in jordan could mark a new approach to how the international community this is refugees three quarters of a million syrian refugees are registered in jordan which has put a strain on the country it's struggling with high unemployment and cost of living the hope is by providing work for refugees they will contribute to not drain the economy this will make let's say a wing to win situation. because some of. some of the employers would come from outside of florida and start having their new projects the government has made it easier and cheaper for syrian refugees to get work permits and streamline the process for companies looking to export to the european market the un refugee agency u.n.h.c.r.
