12:16 pm
attack and touma is growing and the u.k. the prime minister has been defending her decision to join the u.s. and france in the air strike against syria the opposition says theresa may should have gotten parliament's approval first on the whole reports from london. having faced a barrage of criticism over the weekend to use it made her case to parliament that bombing syria had been both morally and legally justifiable it was not she said about intervening in a civil war nor 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 believed it was the right thing to do and we are not very
12:17 pm
many m.p.'s including in her own party a furious that parliament was not consulted first as is the convention in britain since the iraq war in two thousand and three the leader of the opposition led the charge mr speaker this statement serves as a reminder the prime minister is accountable to this parliament not to the whims of the us president i there is no more serious issue than the life and death matters of military action it is right that parliament has the power to support or stop the government from taking land military action i. to resume a sword to justify her sidelining of parliament last week by citing the need to act quickly to prevent further attack and saying that high level intelligence could not have been shared with them peas in advance the rather damning opposition claim instead is that she rushed to support donald trump and feared that if she'd put it to a vote she'd have lost. the prime minister's performance will not satisfy all. and
12:18 pm
certainly not protesters outside we've on the basis event. coming for its chemical weapons attack waged without a fight in parliament we don't like you i don't like the bombing and i don't see any reason for bombing and killing all that right you know democracy like we have the vote for we won the maze not you know. put in the u.k. government insists there are no plans for further attacks in syria that presumably will change if there's another chemical weapon attack jonah hill al jazeera london palestinians are marking prisoners day in a show of solidarity with thousands of their compatriots held in israeli jails more than sixty five hundred palestinians including three hundred fifty children and more than sixty women are currently in israeli prisons according to rights groups close to a third of them are in need of medical care china's president xi jinping has said
12:19 pm
that he doesn't want to remain in office and definitely his comments come after china remove presidential term limits from its constitution giving him the right to stand power the president said the new measures have been misinterpreted and that the term extension is necessary to align government and party posts for consider rector of the university of hong kong sternal is a media studies center he's also the former beijing bureau chief for the washington post he joins us now from hong kong thank you very much for your time so why would she isn't paying say this behind closed doors to foreign delegates why do you think . well i think he was trying to assuage the foreign delegates of in the. elimination of the two term limit for the presidency you know a lot of criticism particularly from overseas who are saying basically that this back to the power of it is trying to be president for life so apparently in this meeting with foreign dignitaries and she himself brought this up and basically
12:20 pm
saying that foreigners were misunderstanding the reason so yeah be a sleaze solve the need to try to in his view set the record straight say he doesn't really want to be there for life and really did and it seems to me to try to downplay it a little bit by saying this is only trying to say that because he's also a party secretary general and most crucially have the some military commission that was too close didn't after him limits and so happy president with a term limit was kind of a bit of a this dissonance a spirit suppose you say and you want to align those three jobs but he had according to what we had leading out of this meeting he said he had no interest it's thing forever we have not heard him say that you have not said that openly and interestingly or he has not said that in chinese to the chinese people as far as you know so ok if you're saying he was saying this to the outside world right to an outside audience what is the reaction been inside china is there. is the population as a whole want him to stay as long as he feels that he needs to. interestingly it's hard
12:21 pm
to gauge of course journeys public opinion on the one hand what we know is that the chinese censors were very aggressive shut down any discussion of the two term limit being eliminated shut but discussion down on the internet sites and social media sites that we could monitor. chinese netizens that's very clever ways of going about it and they can talk about things openly for example winnie the pooh has been banned on chinese sites because some netizens believe that she didn't think we had a resemblance to winnie the pooh that you know the cartoon character he said winnie the pooh means and all these things oh my. we can shut down i mean they're well famous when we need to hugging a jar of honey but the caption saying when you find something you love stick to it which is basically to be all a pretty clever. and you know all these talks about term limits have been banned we can say that we think as far as we know that she's cracked down on corruption has
12:22 pm
been relatively popular he's been seen as trying to clean up the corruption and communist party and the government but once he announces term limits i've been talking a lot of people who kind of a step too far a lot of people making references to the bottles of dung era that we don't want strongman rule we don't want you know one man rule anymore so it's very interesting a subversive one of the. thanks for that gates writes for. the european union's highest court has ruled that poland broke the law by logging an ancient forest in the east of the country the judge said that below asia for us as a protected world heritage site and the logging operation has further endanger rare birds and animals it's a blow to poland thrilling nationalist party which says it has the right to manage its own resources that case is one of many disputes between warsaw and process. canada is withdrawing the families of diplomats in cuba after new information on
