controlled area twenty four hours ago yes accused russia of tampering with the site a moscow blamed delays and security concerns the team from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons will investigate what happened on april the seventh but it won't assign blame western powers accuse syrian forces of using nerve gas to kill dozens of people the damascus and russia deny this cinema has more. the o.p.c. w chemical weapons inspectors have been given access to do my the town in which that alleged chemical weapons attack happened on april the seventh now the russian government and the syrian government have been criticized for what they called preventing the team from entering western nations said that the team was not given access to other team arrived in the syrian capital damascus on saturday both the russian and syrian government cited security concerns and that's why there has been a delay now the. mission is to determine whether or not

a chemical weapons attack actually happened its mandate does not a portion any blame the united states and other western countries like france for example believe that the proof or the evidence could have been tampered with because when this alleged chemical weapons attack happened the opposition that was in control of they then surrendered russian military police entered duma and they carried out their own inspection and declared that they did not find any traces of chemical weapons that were used now the o.p.c. w. it's still not clear when they're going to release the findings but we have to make clear that western nations are not waiting for the results because they already carried out retaliation they carried out attacks on saturday targeting syria's chemical weapons facilities so the findings are not going to trigger another response but definitely if you find that indeed a chemical weapons attack actually happened it will be damning for the russian and

syrian government. meanwhile saudi arabia says it's in talks with the us about sending forces into syria president almost ciampa said he wants to end american involvement in the conflict and he's encouraging other arab nations to put forward their own troops and money instead ask elaine reports from washington d.c. for weeks u.s. president donald trump has made it clear he's growing impatient over syria this will become another syria like very soon. he made the how a bit clearer when he announced limited u.s. strikes in syria last friday we have asked our partners to take greater responsibility for securing their home region now the wall street journal is identifying the country's trump is apparently asking to give money and soldiers as egypt cutter the united arab emirates and saudi arabia but the u.s. military won't confirm that it will leave that to individual nations to first make that announcement and if they want to then we will be able to echo that egypt qatar

in the u.a.e. have not publicly commented yet that saudi arabia's foreign minister acknowledged the ongoing discussion we are in discussions with us and have been for since the beginning of the syrian crisis about sending forces into syria. it's not clear if other countries will make similar offers but if they do they're likely to agree only of some of the two thousand troops and american air power stays in the region that may not be something trump will be willing to do he's already put a hold on two hundred million dollars that the u.s. had pledged to spend rebuilding syria with his words and deeds sending the message that he wants out of syria and soon he believes it should be someone else's responsibility to deal with what's left. al-jazeera washington. yes president dilma trump says american officials have been conducting direct high

level talks with north korea to try to arrange a summit with north korean leader kim jong il and speaking during a meeting with japan's prime minister shinzo abi was visiting the president and his model resort in florida temple said he's given his blessing to south korea to try to end its war with the north and south korean president is preparing to meet kim jong un later this month only to kill me from a white house correspondent kimberly help is live in west palm beach hi there kimberly so north korea very obese the top of the bill here. right very much so and certainly japan has come here seeking some assurances from the united states to take hillary with respect to north korea this is something that. the half dozen meetings that he's had with donald trump since president was sworn in even right before has cautioned against saying that the idea of warming relations between the two nations was not something that he supported but now that

that is moving forward as you point out that end of may or even early june between the u.s. president of the north korean leader is said there is some acknowledgement from the japanese prime minister that in fact it's a tactic in terms of maximum pressure to bring about dialogue that may have been successful. with japan and the united states striking the leadership in applying the maximum pressure on north korea which actually successfully made the north korean side talk to sleep without so it's painful to say that our approach has proved successful and i would like to commend donald trump's courage in his decision to have the meeting with the north korean leader and of course i guess the other conversation that's been happening kimberly has been about trade and all this talk of course the u.s. is really a close ally of japan but are the japanese feeling that love. right so the white house made pains to hold

a press briefing earlier this afternoon where they underscore the relationship between the united states and japan calling japan a great friend and ally but you're absolutely right japan hasn't been feeling that love and that friendship from the united states as of late got to remember it was just a few weeks ago down trump announcing those tariffs on the imports of foreign steel and aluminum into the united states exams at a whole bunch of countries but not japan so that didn't go well and then the other issue is of course the issue of trade certainly donald trump is underscored that he's not happy with some of the agreements that have existed certainly he pulled out of the trans-pacific partnership agreement that japan of course went on to negotiate without the united states still leaving open the possibility in the future the united states might entertain getting back into that agreement in some form or capacity but there is always this underscoring if it's in the interest of the united states very much donald trump's america first policy so these are some of the thorny issues that are going to be worked out between the two leaders

they're set to begin a dinner in the next couple of hours will be meeting with their wives discussing some of that and they will continue their buy laterals tomorrow convey how could they live from west palm beach kimberly thanks. a new framework for negotiations to end the war in yemen will be presented to the u.n. security council within the next few moments as the assurance of the new special envoy martin griffith who was appointed in february he also briefed the council for the first time about the humanitarian crisis in yemen where eight million people are facing famine by counting. withdrawal of forces the message from the special envoy that a resumption of political dialogue is essential with and he maintains that all parties in the conflict that he's spoken to in the past four weeks agreeing but the portrait to of a nation on my third one in which a single violent event could consume attempts at conciliation our concern is simple

that these that any of these developments would at a single stroke take peace off the table the us ambassador picked up on her recurrent theme that iran is waging a proxy war in the region through the opposition in december she displayed the fragments of missiles fired at saudi targets that she maintained were supplied by iran and this year escorted the entire security council to view what she described as evidence the who things didn't just figure out on their own how to build and fire ballistic missiles more than a thousand kilometers to hit the saudi capital iran is supporting them this council taking action to stop the flow of arms to the who these would be a step forward helping to resolve this war in his response to russian ambassador pointed out that civilians on both sides of the saudi yemen border were under threat when we should know this was the last go emphatically condemns

indiscriminate strikes his victims are civilians we also categorically reject ballistic missile strikes against populated areas on saudi arabia soil. all security council members though united on the need for dialogue and welcoming the special representatives pledged to deliver a framework within two months there's one cause for optimism who three opposition boycotted talks with the previous special representative accusing him of bias but it appears willing to engage with the man who's just been appointed the un's humanitarian chief warned that the coming rains could herald a massive cholera outbreak and asked all parties inside and outside yemen to allow greater access and very cool supplies the stark fact facing the council that while political resolution remains in limbo more than eight million people in yemen are facing. mike hanna united nations i mean his parliament has voted to

of the enzyme better than the natural one already that's really exciting because that means that there is potential to optimize this and say even further the science has a long way to go the enzyme can only digest plastic and needs to be scaled up in a commercially viable way basically we can just make gallons of powdered enzyme and then pour in a fox that this is what we're aiming to do so just in the same way that washing powder to terence were developed and made more stable been able to work at high temperatures low temperatures we're going to do the same with this enzyme and. hopefully create something that we can use in an industrial scale every minute one garbage truck of plastic is dumped into our oceans if we continue this trained by twenty fifty it's riddick to be will be more plastic in the oceans than fish it's an all consuming problem that scientists hope enzymes could help you tell. us.
