mixed. much as well the government has successfully implemented its hate campaign they planted hatred in people's hearts which is very sad. and this is what should have happened we are happy because we are not really interested in immigrants and that's what's at stake now. if you will. if this tendency continues then we won't be heading towards a liberal country in my view we will not represent european values and that makes me deeply sad. suspicious. despite being a human or hungary has refused to implement the block's migrant resettlement program or been has like an migration to rust and poison a threat which he said his win would stave off. there's a big battle behind us. we have won a crucial victory got a chance gave ourselves

russia are blaming israel for an overnight missile attack on a syrian air base which killed fourteen people the strike came as international alarm grows over an alleged chemical weapons attack on the former rebel stronghold of duma at the weekend the following report contains images that some viewers might find distressing. missiles flare in the dark hours of the morning according to russian and syrian military they were fired from two israeli fighter jets though israel has declined to comment the missiles found their target an air base in the province of holmes used by the syrian regime and its allies at least fourteen fighters were killed according to observers. days earlier bombs fell in the town of duma in eastern go to the last remaining rebel stronghold it's alleged they were carrying chemical weapons according to the white helmets volunteer rescue group at
3:07 pm
least forty people were aged by poison gas during the attack many of them children smelling strongly of chlorine. the regime continues the intense and violent shelling barrel bombs were dropped by helicopters carrying poisonous substances. until now paramedics haven't been able to enter because of the continuous shelling the regime is trying to wipe out this area syria denies its government forces launched any chemical assault nonetheless international condemnation has been swift and blunt. u.s. president donald trump took to twitter blaming russia and iran for supporting syria and describing its president bashar al assad as an animal in rome pope francis used his mass in some peter's square to denounce the attacks as unjustifiable.
3:08 pm
we pray for all the dead for the wounded for the families who suffer. there is no good war and bad war. in mean and nothing nothing can justify the use of such instruments of violence against people and unarmed populations. the syrian army released pictures which it says shows troops moving towards duma the army dismissed claims of the gas attack as fabrications the military insists it's advancing rapidly and has no need for chemical weapons and for more let's bring in simon made bond lecturer on international relations at lancaster university welcome simon i'd like to begin first by talking about what france has said on monday saying that it would work closely with the united states on a response to this weekend's suspected chemical attack we also know that the u.n. security council is expected to meet what do you think that we could see. well i
3:09 pm
think you will probably hear a lot of very strong words a lot of vocal condemnation and criticism of the assad regime's brutal attacks of the assad regime's behavior over the past seven years and not be a great deal of criticism of russian support and iranian support for the regime of bashar assad from the u.s. the u.k. from france as well but i imagine nuts about all we'll see because as as we all know the u.n. security council is being designed in such a way that there are veto powers russia has a veto and so i can't imagine there will be any type of resolution passed on this so much like with the with all security council discussions on syria in the past seven years it will be a talking shock and on the red lines imposed by mr mccrone will turn out to be words and not deeds much like those put forward by mr obama in the past. time i
3:10 pm
want to turn to something else that has developed in syria because you know that russia and syria they are accusing israel of carrying out an airstrike attack on the homes air base no comment so far from israel on that what do you think that we are to make of it. well i think what we need to do to understand what's happening here is to place that this strike within the larger regional security complex so we know that syria has has become a quagmire from from the revolution to the conflict that we're seeing now it's drawn in a range of different activists from from the middle east and beyond the really got involved to try and further their own regional and geo political interests and once we see that then we can see that iran has bought another lebanese party of god supported by iran that both supporting the regime of president bashar al assad now the israelis have long held a great deal of suspicion about iranian intent to rein in involvement across the
3:11 pm
middle east and i think that there's a great deal of consternation amongst many israeli officials about what iran is trying to achieve and and if any possible proliferation of weapons or anything like not that mike end up in his bowlers hands because twelve years ago of course israel feels a war with hizbullah in the south of lebanon so there's always been a real degree of suspicion and uncertainty as to what will happen there are so many different dynamics at play on the ground there in syria asylum a band joining us from lancaster university helping us make sense of it all thank you silence thank you. well meantime details are beginning to emerge about the man who drove a van into a crowd in the german city of once or on saturday killing two people and injuring many more police say that he was wealthy but he had many run ins with the law he is also said to have expressed suicidal thoughts to a neighbor last week people in munster have attended
