tom different places but it's what that gives us that gives us the ability to identify with the other side of the world but we can understand what it's like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for. water an essential resource for all humankind across europe pressure to recognise water as a human right and put its management back into public hands is increasing i think that the european commission would be very very. would probably. anybody say anything to. those people who see everything as something to invest the profit of they want all up to the last drop on al-jazeera the strength of al jazeera is that because we have such an extensive network people were coming to us and actually shared information with the al-jazeera team in chapter.

this is al jazeera. hello i'm rob matheson and this is the news our live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes russia agrees to let international inspectors enter syria is due on wednesday but faces allegations of tampering with the site of the suspected chemical attack. another setback for donald trump's personal lawyer michael cohen is forced to reveal the identity of a client who's a key supporter of the u.s. president. fears that yemen's health crisis could get worse as more patients become resistant to antibiotics. i am very sorry for any confusion or anxiety fact undoing the wrongs of the british government announces a plan to address rights concerns of some contribution emigrants.

every begin this news hour in syria russia says international inspectors will enter duma. on wed and state to investigate a suspected chemical attack the world's chemical weapons watchdog the o.p.c. w i seldom urgency talks were envoys traded accusations the u.s. accused russia of tampering with the site but moscow said the delay concerned security a u.n. fact finding team landed in damascus on saturday it's going to establish if an attack took place over two weeks ago but it won't assign blame the russian envoy to the o.p.c. w accused british intelligence of fabricating the attack. we have serious grounds to believe that it was highly likely that this provocation was organized with the help of the british intelligence services. despite that the syrian

government has allowed journalists to enter do as part of an organized media tour they were given access to a field hospital for medical stuff told reporters no patients suffered from toxic gas symptoms are the residents recalled a strong chlorine smell but blamed the attack on rebel fighters the tour did not include the building for syrian activists and medics say more than forty people were killed meanwhile witnesses from dumas have told al-jazeera they felt the effects of a poisonous substance in the attack area this month many have now arrived at displacement camps in northern syria or some of the reports from guys in tap on the turkey syria border this is what home looks like today for his family on april the seventh they were in duma when it was alleged syrian forces launched a chemical attack i will mahmood this close to where it happened. there was another

missile which landed and then there was a very strange smell the first thing was smoke yellow smoke it had a rotten smell it was like a new thing was being tested on us just. although they've been displaced the children are finally able to play in the sun without the fear of bombs or near strikes more than sixty thousand people have been forced to leave their homes in duma but tens of thousands more opted to stay duma is part of eastern ghouta which was besieged for nearly five years and bombed into submission over the last two months. the intensity of the last attack made gestural islam's fighters surrender the next day in a statement the rebel group says it decided to withdraw to save lives russia and syria continue to deny that chemical weapons were used and see the pictures of the bodies and people gasping for breath is propaganda produced with the help of western intelligence agencies the u.s. u.k. and france didn't believe russia or syria and carried out air strikes on syrian military facilities in retaliation. some people like primary teacher illegally

entered turkey to reach safety he doesn't want to disclose his real name or show his face because his family is in damascus and he's afraid they will be harmed if his identity is revealed on how bad the coffee was off. when we came to it if there was a war like situation there in egypt this was a bombardment we left couldn't stay alive we don't want to face war again we want to have a normal life thank god again to turkey it was very difficult to cross but it wasn't impossible. medical sources stalled out as they were the dogs were families in areas under the control of the assad government will be afraid to say anything about the alleged chemical attack there have been allegations in denials about tampering with the evidence in duma some members of the international chemical watchdog say they have not been granted access to the site where the alleged chemical attack took place russia maintains that it should be the u.n. which grants access but a week after the incident with a team which does not have the mandate to see who carried out the attack many don't

have much hope in what will they find some other job with al-jazeera never directly syria border. president trump has reportedly blah. to new sanctions on russia over its support for the syrian government the washington post is quoting unnamed officials saying that trump opposed the plan either national security meeting on sunday washington's ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley had announced that russian companies would be targeted for supporting syria's suspected chemical weapon program ok when the last hour syrian state t.v. has been reporting a missile attack on the shared out air base in homs province that's the same base that the u.s. hit last year the pentagon is denying it's behind the latest strikes according to the wires that we're getting in here the pentagon is saying there are no reports of u.s. military activity after the reports from syrian state t.v. that syrian air defenses had responded to

a missile attack over homs which had targeted the share out air base pentagon spokesman is quoted as saying there is no u.s. military activity in that area at the time he did not give any more details we'll of course give you more details on that as we get them but of course all of this follows the mobilization of government forces in homes is in a harder has more on that. this could be the start of a new offensive against rebel territory hopes. the syrian government appears to be turning its attention to this strategic region following its victory in eastern huta much of the central province has been recaptured in recent years but the opposition has long held an enclave in the northern countryside that the area is strategic for damascus if it wants to secure the roads linking government controlled cities in the west of the country the opposition is promising a fight i mean a bit of mctear they weren't able to hurt us with the other two that was shining

and they did try to advance on the ground they failed we warn them that if they want to fight they will lose a lot of man. every so often the army drops leaflets on these besieged neighborhoods demanding rebels to reconcile with the government surrender and leave or face attack that's the way the government takes areas by imposing sieges and then bombing the rebels and the population into submission. we fear they might displace us just like they did to others in other places people are petrified because they don't want to be left without homes or shelter. hundreds of thousands of syrians have been forced from their homes because of these so-called reconciliation or evacuation deals and they know returning is only a distant possibility they have. to be displaced i want to stay with my family and friends i don't want to go anywhere else to be humiliated. holmes says

not the government's only target there is a rebel enclave forty kilometers northeast of the capital damascus rebels in the western region have been given an ultimatum to accept a state to rule or leave the faction in the town of the mayor has agreed to surrender to stave off a military offensive the opposition has little chance of winning the battles in the northern countryside of homs and in the western and clearly those areas are under siege they have been for years but it's only recently that the army has been able to apply military pressure throughout the conflict the pro-government alliance suffered from a manpower shortage and has had to prioritize battles. now the army is mobilizing on the front lines in southern damascus. and the opposition controls a number of districts there it seems the priority will be the battle with before a deal is offered to the rebels that would end all opposition presence in and around the capital where thousands gather to celebrate syria's independence day and

this year the government is marking the anniversary from a position of strength has never been this comfortable since the start of the conflict more than seven you. the group's ok joe rogan is president of the washington strategy group he's joining us live from washington d.c. joe good to have you with us i want to ask you first of all about the reports that we're getting in about this missile attack on the shared out air base in homs province of course this was the one back in twenty seventeen that was targeted by u.s. forces after a suspected chemical attack in qana shake that washington at the time blamed on the syrian government now obviously details are very sketchy on this attack at the moment we don't know who's responsible the u.s. says they've got no thank to vittie in the area at the time give us i mean this is an unfair question i'm going to ask you to speculate what do you think is the reasoning if this is true behind this missile attack on that particular base.

thanks rob for the question i'm not sure really what the motivation would be but certainly what we're watching in terms of american military involvement in syria and attacks on the recent attacks on the chemical weapons sites as well as the last year's taxes well it is that it's not really resolving anything and in fact it may be opening up a new can of worms where we can see diverse groups fomenting new attacks into areas to try to provoke certain engagements there's a lot of concern here in washington for example that terrorist organizations will get involved more in the chemical weapons game so to speak to try to incite american russian fighting and so there are a lot of alarm bells going off right now here in washington about what could be happening on the ground in syria and of course this latest attack if it is true may just be another indication of the kind of confusion and misinformation that's going on about who's responsible for what i mean that brings us to what we're talking

about in terms of the chemical weapons inspectors who are attempting to get into duma i have not been granted permission and will go in on why in the state let's talk about that given that there has been so much to ing and fro ing and delay over allowing the inspectors in how reliable do you think the evidence if there is any is going to be once they actually do get into that site. it's a really problematic proposition that you're describing is that the international body the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons that that body that should be sort of umpire a neutral party to explain what took place they're going in with their eyes blind and there are deep concerns that the russians have clean the sites and that may bias their judgment and we need to have third parties who are trusted by the international community trusted by the united nations trusted by the people of the

world and of syria in this case and right now the concern is the further that this is delayed the less trustworthy the results in the more confusion on how to actually deal with the chemical weapons issue and of course leading to the broader syria conflict we need to have a worthy information right now there's concern that we're not going to get that after these inspections are under way and this whole situation is putting russia in a very difficult position isn't it because if it has been delaying for what they may be god is legitimate security reasons it is a risk after all responsible for security in that region as part of that the clearance process if you like that the syrian military is going through if it is if there are delays as a result of that it may be accused as it has been of possibly hiding evidence if it allows people then nothing is found and it will be accused of hiding evidence if something is found i one would assume it's not going to accept responsibility but he's going to be accused of being responsible for the attacks there isn't really

a good way out of this for russia. that right there is exactly right and really just from a very pragmatic perspective this undermines russia as well it's claims that the united states for example did not have evidence of a chemical weapons attack or that it was not fomented by syria by russia tampering with an investigation it undermines their ability to actually make that argument that i believe that their argument is false a believe their misrepresenting what happened for their own gain but there is a cost and there's a broader cost on the international community's ability to verify if chemical weapons are used and to verify nuclear activities as well you know just over the border in iran we have weapons inspectors through the international atomic energy agency looking at iran's nuclear program verifying that they are complying with the nuclear agreement that they made several years ago if we lose faith in those inspectors in their ability to give sound judgments we undermine the ability to

have confidence in that kind of a deal and that really puts a lot of pressure on governments including russia and clearly the united states to look for alternative options to diplomacy and verifiable agreements and that is a very dangerous slippery slope we do not want to be involved in general and thank you very much indeed let me just briefly remind you we are getting reports according to syrian state t.v. that a missile attack has been targeted on the share that air base in homs province that was the air base that was targeted by the u.s. back in two thousand and fifteen seventeen of the suspected chemical attack in qana that washington that the time blamed on the syrian government. ok the u.s. and the u.k. are warning that hackers backed by russia are targeting millions of devices in homes and offices around the world both governments say the hackers are trying to steal information and build networks for potentially devastating cyber attacks the

warning comes two months after russia was accused of unleashing a virus which crippled parts of ukraine's infrastructure and damaged computers across the globe jody weis spies' chief executive of global cyber risk and she says the biggest problem is that most people are unaware of the security vulnerabilities of their home and office networks. this particular alert takes into consideration out of support equipment and old legacy systems that use this old equipment and therefore the advisory urges people to take note of patches that need to be made to harden their infrastructure they can protect themselves first of all by getting out and support equipment out of their system getting rid of old legacy applications that require this use now this is a huge problem this isn't just like oh we haven't patched our our current system most of that is generally being done the biggest problem we see when we do cyber

risk assessments in companies large and small but we do very large companies we see legacy applications those old applications that have been running around the business for ten twenty years that are being used and they require certain operating platforms and hardware that are out of support and are not service anymore and this is a huge vulnerability and it's really one now the target you don't have to actually get into a have someone click on a phishing e-mail you just exploit this ad supported swetman and so this is a very very large gaping hole and it is a big problem because like i said we see it almost everywhere we go. but more ahead on the news. the prime minister is accountable to this parliament not to the whims of the u.s. president. the debate raging in britain on the decision to join allied action

against syria. and how israel's blockade of gaza and political infighting are depriving many palestinians of clean water. and we'll have the winners of the one hundred and twenty second edition of the boston mob that's coming up later in this book. the legal battle over the f.b.i. raid on the u.s. president's personal lawyer has taken an unexpected turn one of his mystery clients has been exposed michael cohen has been in court trying to stop prosecutors from reviewing material seized in last week's raids during the hearing he was forced to reveal he did secret legal work for fox news t.v. host sean hannity who said donald trump supporter never disclosed his relationship with colin when he was highly critical of the raids and one of the people watching

that case unfold its adult film star stormy daniels she accuses cohen of paying out one hundred thirteen thousand dollars to keep quiet about an alleged affair with donald trump a decade ago here's what she told reporters after the hearing. for years mr cohen has acted like he is above the law he is considered himself an openly referred to himself as mr trump fixer he is played by a different set of rules or should we say no rules at all he has never thought that the little man or especially women and even more women like me matter that in now my attorney and i are committed to making sure that everyone finds out the truth and the facts of what happened and i give my word that we will not rest until that happens thank you very much for our correspondent kristen salumi joins me live now from new york kristen what's sean hannity's relevance to this case

well it's interesting sean hannity is one of the reasons that lawyers for michael cohen and lawyers for president trump were using to. make their case that they should be able to review these documents they wanted to review all of the documents that were taken in the raid before they were handed over to prosecutors and the reason they gave is because of attorney client privilege and cohen had other clients who could be exposed their sensitive information could be exposed by. turning these documents over not to mention the sensitive information between michael cohen and the president himself his number one client so the judge denied their request to view all of this information before it was given prosecutors and she outed sean hannity his direct involvement in the case to the does not seem to be any direct involvement in the case which is essentially to look at whether or not michael cohen did anything illegal when he made

a payment to an adult film star of one hundred thirty thousand dollars and saw it was of course the courthouse as we've just as discussed why was a stormy daniels there. so she too was not directly involved in the court proceeding today however she is at the center of this investigation of michael collins she claims that she got one hundred thirty thousand dollars from him to not talk about the affair that she had with president trump prior to the election. president trump denies that there was an affair denies any knowledge of a payment but cohen has said he has made a payment with his own money so her lawyer was there she was there the lawyer said they wanted to be sure that these documents that are relevant to their case are protected because she is suing the president for defamation of character and to get out of this agreement not to talk about what happened between the two of them so they wanted to be sure that these documents were safe for their civil lawsuit against the president which may be on hold because of this criminal investigation

which is taking place now but a lot of moving parts and a lot of information on the outside of the case that are perhaps very interesting to people who are following the situation of the president right now christopher knight thank you very much indeed but as you rightly say a lot of moving parts of this i want to bring in bruce fein he's a constitutional lawyer he's joining us live from washington d.c. thank you very much indeed for your time i guess the big question is how much closer if a toll does this move the investigation towards the white house and the trump administration. well it's not an enormous step but i think it's one step forward we need to remember that now we know that mr cohen was involved not only in the payoff to stormy daniels for alleged silence in exchange for one hundred thirty thousand dollars whether he talked to mr trump or not it clearly was on behalf of mr trump the payoff was made ten years after the event in the middle of

a presidential campaign now mr cohen also is known to have been involved in paying one hundred fifty thousand dollars to karen mcdougal a playboy a playboy bunny for her silence or for killing the story ultimately at the national enquirer also at the time of the presidential campaign relating to an affair several years old we also know that the national enquirer head who killed the story is close to mr trump and to mr cohen and we also now know that mr cohen was involved in payoffs to the mistress if you will of mr brody who is also involved in and extramarital affair he's one who's actually sued the kingdom of god or the emir of gutter claiming that they invaded his privacy by hacking into some of his e-mails that were incriminating and not only that now we have mr hannity who fits into what mr coleman called the mafia style approach to organization that he

associated with mr trump namely although mr hannity is not involved in a payoff directly he's basically the echo chamber of mr trump he goes on every evening you know exactly was going to be said before you know what the news is because he'll defend anything including this so-called hollywood tape where mr trump boasts that he can grab women were ever he wants so you get the sense that maybe there is some kind of spokes here meeting the hub of mr cohen and they're all clued in if you will to try to defend the reputation of the president by keeping material information relating to his. character you know out of the public domain now with regard to the actual issue that was confronting the judge i think there may have been an inadvertent misstatement made this issue is not about whether prosecutors will get access to attorney client information that's not going to happen it's customary in cases like this where tourney's themselves are suspected of crime their offices may have attorney client information that there be what's

called a taint team lawyers who are not going to work on the prosecution come in examine the files they exclude anything that they believe attorney client if the if the accused believes that's an error he can take it to a judge before a prosecutor sees any of this so there's no way you're going to get any attorney client material that passes through to the prosecutors without a federal judge who's neutral and independent examining that so that's where we are i think at present i also believe that it was quite extraordinary that trump's attorney also participated sic trying to slow down the operation this is not the tactic of somebody who wants to get the investigation over you're not trying to throw procedural hurdles spanners into the works to make it more protracted why is mr trump's lawyer involved it's not in his documents aren't the ones that were being utilized here and there mr cohen's and cohen was asserting attorney client privilege so there's quite clearly a lot to watch and there is one thing that's going to bruce as you and i both well

know that the world's media is going to be watching this very closely bruce fein thank you very much indeed for your time canada is withdrawing the families of diplomats posted in cuba off to new information on mysterious illnesses by stuff that it's hard on a embassy diplomats from canada and the u.s. first reported symptoms of headaches dizziness and nausea last year no medical specialists say they may have brain injuries cuban officials say they have no knowledge of what's behind the incidents. half of kenya's electoral board has resigned because they say their organization is dysfunctional the three officials have stepped down and say they have lost confidence in the chairman the commission was accused of failing to prevent voting irregularities during last year's presidential election and president of her kenyatta won nearly ninety eight percent of the vote in a top was runoff which the opposition boycotted however the institution has

and france and launching air strikes against syria the opposition there says to me some a should have got parliament's approval first it's called for the debate on tuesday to make that a requirement for future attacks john holl reports. having faced a barrage of criticism over the weekend to use it may make the case to parliament that bombing syria could be both morally and legally justifiable if it was not she said about intervening in a civil war about regime change but about humanitarian necessity saving syria's civilians from future chemical weapons attack as a legal basis for military intervention we cannot allow the use of chemical weapons to become normalized either within syria on the streets of the u.k. or elsewhere so we have not done this because president trump asked us to do so we have done it because we do. leaved it was the right thing to do and we are not very many m.p.'s including in her own party
