used we have seen, any idea what was used in this case? some of the video footage is horrific. i think the key ta keaways footage is horrific. i think the key takeaways from this initial assessment and video that has been available is that there has been poisoning, there has been intoxication, some kind of poison that has got into their bodies and is clearly some distress and injury, andi is clearly some distress and injury, and i think probably death, well definitely the video showing death as well so not very nice at all. lot of people have died already, 58 the figure, but presumably the effects of such a chemical can go on and more people are probably going to die because of it. yes, it depends what the chemical agent is and that's why it will be one of the first priorities we need to look at is identifying, if it is indeed a chemical agent, which it looks like at the moment, but it depends. clearly some of the video footage shows the injured people who don't

really have any more treatment and be able to be decontaminated with water and the clothes being removed. it doesn't appear there is any sort of, if it was a nerve agent, there are antidotes for that, and also support to breathing, but it appears there's just not enough medical equipment to support the injured. where are we on the business of chemical weapons? the syrians always say we don't use them, here they are pretty evidently being used. what is going on? we have to cast our mind back to 2013 when the attacks happened in damascus, and the un tea m happened in damascus, and the un team were there and conducted demonstrations and showed sarin agent had been used. syria declared

agent had been used. syria declared a quantity of agents, just over 1000 tonnes of chemical warfare material, and the 0bc w and the un verified the destruction and removal of all of that. the big question is who owns this agent, if indeed it is agent, where it came from, who manufactured it, and those are the questions that will have to be looked into in the next days and weeks. in your own mind, what do you think is going on here? do the syrians simply have other stocks which they have got access to? where did they get them from?” which they have got access to? where did they get them from? i think before identifying who might have used it, we need to establish what it is because that in itself will start to give lines of inquiry and questions. there are number of options. it may be the syrian regime has employed agent that they hadn't

declared. potentially it could be the manufacturing that could come from somewhere else. there are sources of potential chemical weapon in the region so there's a whole host of things. the first thing to try to do is identify what the agent is and that will be a good start. indeed. thank you very much indeed. later this evening, a minute's silence will be held at charlton athletic football ground in memory of pc keith palmer, the policeman who was killed in the westminster terror attack two weeks ago. pc palmer was a lifelong fan of the club. 0ur reporter chris slegg is at the ground now. yes, a very sombre atmosphere here tonight ahead of kick—off. the match itself, a league1 tonight ahead of kick—off. the match itself, a league 1 fixture against mk dons, of secondary importance as the fans come to pay their respects. the day after the terror attacks, charlton left a club scarf on keith

palmer's seat, which stayed thereon till today, and the seat itself was replaced by a wide seat. tonight 22 of his former colleagues willjoin the players on the pitch. they will be led out by pc palmer's brother and everyone willjoin in the period of silence. in the summer, a permanent memorial stone will be laid outside the stadium. the club chaplain here is with us. how has his loss impact of the club? it impacted the club straightaway when we discovered kate had been a —— keith had been a season ticket holder for many years. this was one of our own and it brought it home to us so of our own and it brought it home to us so discussions started as to how

we could pay tribute to him. we have seen fans from other clubs leaving floral tributes outside today. how can football act as an extended family ina can football act as an extended family in a time like this? football takes the backstage, and we see that there are things in life which are much more important. football get that so at a time like this when we stand together, we see it with mk dons and charlton standing together tonight, the message is you are —a— ;; "if; a

through the criminaljustice system, and it can be vulnerable people, people they want to make sure access support and organisations within their local community, make sure they get too important appointments on time, and remind them about upcoming court dates. the burglar was given the phone while he was out on bailand was given the phone while he was out on bail and when he was essentially sent to prison the phone was used by two other people. although it was a basic phone, the sim cards can be taken out and put into smartphones, then when you are streaming media it can build up a lot of usage over time. we estimated £250 a day, ending ina time. we estimated £250 a day, ending in a bill of £44,500. have the police had anything to say about it? it emerged in early 2014 and they acted straightaway, the reason we are hearing it now is because the

police responding to a freedom of information request. two people were arrested but there wasn't enough evidence to pursue ‘s charges against them, and as far as an internal investigation and no disciplinary action will take place with those involved. they say they have reviewed their procedures, they will make sure no more contracts sim cards will be handed out, and they will be pay as you go phones, and there will be tougher restrictions on how they should be used by people who get them. last week, us hiker corey hancock was given a warning after he rescued what appeared to be an abandoned black bear cub from an oregon trail. he could have faced charges for removing the cub from his natural habitat. now two orphaned bear cubs have been rescued in montenegro after a farmer found them starving in the wild. the cubs have been nursed back to health but the story raises questions, should we rescue wild animals or do we run the risk of domesticating them?

guy delauney has more. it seems like these bears have found the bare necessities. this animal sanctuary has been their home since last month when they were discovered a p pa re ntly last month when they were discovered apparently abandoned in raw or montenegro. this man is used to seeing brown bears, as she turns her goats on the mountain, and normally steers clear, but she intervened after hearing what she describes as persistent screams for several days. translation: we put them next to the stove in a wooden box, we gave them some hay and some of our clothes to warm them up. i gave them a drink of milk and honey. word spread fast and $0011 milk and honey. word spread fast and soon animal lovers arranged to bring them to an animal sanctuary. but this isn't the end of the story. translation: with a special programme they could become wild again, reconnect with nature before

they are three months old. it won't be simple. well—meaning human intervention may already have compromised their future. translation: when you release an animal like this back into the forest even after it has been rehabilitated, it will approach people and that can cause problematic situations, even dangers. the bear cubs are already national celebrities in montenegro but they may have to move to greece 01’ but they may have to move to greece or romania to make their transition back to the wild. back here, what about the prospects for the weather over the next few days? the prospects are looking pretty good over the next few days. we have this big area of high pressure moving in, it will push the week whether funds away and this area of high pressure will settle things down nicely. still breezy for

some but looking drive. there was a lot of cloud across the south—eastern corner and a bit of rain to go with that. here is the satellite sequence which shows the cloud across the south—east. it was a lovely day in parts of england and wales, but there are showers in scotla nd wales, but there are showers in scotland and strong winds. a bit more cloud drifting further south. keeping temperatures to around seven 01’ keeping temperatures to around seven or8 keeping temperatures to around seven or 8 degrees but in the south—west in particular with light winds and clear skies, we will head towards the bottom end of single figures. not so in scotland, still quite windy through the morning with further showers for the west of the mainland, but largely dry the further east and south you go. northern ireland may be cloudy through the morning, but generally it is dry as it is across northern

england. maybe some breaks in the cloud east of the pennines. it is a bit chilly first thing, so a decent start to the day for many southern counties. the cloud will tend to spill ever south through the afternoon, but it will stay dry across the south—west, and there will be sunny spells too the east side of scotland. a few showers peppering the far north of the uk. ten or 11 degrees for glasgow, 13 in cardiff and london. there may be spots of rain coming in on the thickening cloud east of london. a fair bit of cloud on thursday and friday but some sunshine as well. the high pressure slips away to the near continent as you get to the weekend and in the process change the wind direction to more of a southerly and that will bring warmer

air with it. into the weekend, expect the temperatures to be back into the high teens, maybe the low 20s for some but the question is how long it will last and i suspect it will turn colder early the following week. hello and welcome to 100 days. at least 58 people have been gassed to death and 300 are in hospital in one of the worst autrocities of the syrian war. the white house calls it a "reprehensible" act but also blames the weakness of the obama administration. the attack happened in a rebel—held town. reports suggest militaryjets also fired rockets at clinics where the injured were being treated. the un security council has called an emergency meeting. what we understood, it was a chemical attack and it came from the air. the syrian and russian governments deny any involvement in what's being investigated as a war crime. also on the programme... a top member of president obama's

team comes underfire, accused of politicising intelligence. the claims, she says, are absolutely false.
