the dawn of islam is on. the twenty first on t w. this is. a deadly missile attack targets a syrian military base fourteen people died in the bombing which syria and russia blame on israel the israelis response from with silence also on the program. hundreds victor. consecutive term as prime minister is nationalist be dashed.

allowing it to change the country's constitution opponents fear a new crackdown against migrants. i'm still going to welcome to the program syria and its main ally russia are blaming israel for an overnight missile attack on a syrian advice monitor said least fourteen people were killed in the ass strike which comes as international law grows over an alleged chemical weapons attack on the former rebel stronghold of duma the following report contains images which you may 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 homs 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 least forty people were fixated 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 enslave because of the continuous shelling the regime is trying to wipe out this area civilians in eastern guta have enjoyed weeks of bombardment as the syrian government tries to root out opposition. many have now given up evacuating the region in bus convoys to territory still under rebel control syria denies its

government forces launched a chemical assault it says its troops are advancing on duma without any need for poison gas nevertheless international condemnation has been swift and blunt a german government spokesman said it was clear president bashar al assad was to blame. those responsible for the use of poison gas for the targeted bombing of civil medical infrastructure must be held accountable and also regarding this use of poison gas the circumstances indicate the acid regime was responsible. u.s. president donald trump took to twitter describing assad as an animal he said there would be a big price to pay for the use of gas. but syria's ally russia says its inspectors found no trace of chlorine or any other substance in duma and called the allegations a provocation. says the issue will be raised at a meeting of the united nations security council later today.

more on this from scott lucas is professor of international politics and american studies at the university of birmingham in the u.k. welcome to day w. well sells on this alleged chemical weapons attack of two issues that firstly what does the evidence say about whether it was a chemical attack and secondly who was behind it and let me be direct here because the russians will try to spread confusion and dissent from nation based on the evidence from doctors first responders activist local journalist residents themselves based on photographs and videos this was a chemical weapons attack in fact to a time it's the first with chlorine the second on saturday night with a stronger substance and undetermined agent at this point and this attack could only be by the assad regime and that is because the munitions that carried the

chemical agent were dropped from helicopters and from warplanes no one else has helicopters or planes in the area other than the syrian air force those are the facts as we know them what happens not is a different matter it's been a busy week in syria meanwhile of course the government there and its main backers russia blame israel for monday's pre-dawn attack on the air base at homs while israel said nothing of what you're feeling the. and this was almost certainly an israeli missile strike on the t four air base israel as a matter of practice does not comment on software ations but two months ago it struck the same air base killing regime and iranian personnel why is that this is not a direct response to the chemical weapons attack instead israel at the same time is concerned that hezbollah and iran not move too close to the israeli occupied golan heights they do not want to see the iranians transfer weapons to hezbollah they in

fact would like to see iran your personal the syria so this was sort of a warning attack that is the assad regime may be gaining territory including your damascus but iran and hezbollah and assad should not feel emboldened enough that they threaten israel and this is television signal we're here and we're going to remain strong the u.n. security council will meet set late set to discuss this use of chemical weapons president trump has tweeted a warning of a big price to pay what do you expect to come out of face meeting. well the meeting itself will just be rhetoric largely the russians will try to do anything to confuse the situation to say that nothing happened at least that can you blame on the assad regime the u.s. the u.k. and we know other countries now interesting enough germany joining the criticism will say this was a serious incident something should not be done but what should be done that's the key issue for six years it has not been

a question of just striking back at the assad regime for example like the u.s. did last april when it hit a syrian air base it's been a question of how you protect civilians if they're not in regime controlled areas how do you establish protective zones and so far the international community has not moved to protect civilians from the number one threat to them which was is of course bombing professor scott lucas a and but i mean thank you thank you. hungary's nationalist prime minister viktor orban has won a decisive victory in the country's general election is right wing fish party has once again taken more than two thirds of parliamentary seats after a campaign that took a hardline on muslim immigration but trying migrants as a threat to how groups christian identity in his victory speech mr obama said the results gave homecare is a chance to defend themselves and their country. victory is written in his name. nationalist across hungry and europe are celebrating victory or bans

reelection his anti immigrant campaign drew people out in record numbers but in the capital budapest where the opposition performed well the reaction was mixed. much less 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. just measures. despite being in a new manager 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 a chance to defend hungary. for bands reelection has energized right wing parties craving emancipation from the bloc several european politicians congratulated or ban including germany's conservative interior minister who also issued a warning to the e.u. . i would advise the european union to maintain sensible bilateral relationships with its member states but secularly with smaller ones such as hungary would see when i've always considered it wrong to manifest arrogance on paternalism towards individual member states. for four hundred or bans feeders party one almost half the vote which gives them the two thirds

supermajority needed to introduce sweeping reforms ahead of the election or ban promise to take what he called moral political and legal action against his opponents. so how will mr obama's victory be viewed within the european union do correspond to the vessel joins us from brussels welcome so obama's home group has been on a collision course with the you for some time he has allies who's likely to give way on the issue of the distribution of migrants within the block all suddenly filled the european union will give way because it has largely understood now that it is impossible to sort of in force even the verdict of the european court of justice and sort of force hungary to take in a couple of thousand migrants and this is what we're talking about here this whole battle viktor orban has been talking about in his election campaign and then in his speech last night that with which we just saw again is of course imaginary all this

is she of propaganda we all know these are been won his election is this sort of propaganda and so the european union has to live with the consequences so it will give way and also it will have to give way in a in a way on abundant egremont this summer to form and reform the. general migrant policy in the european union that will be sort of pushed off and they can kicked into the long grass but i think they're all the better it was viktor orban is just beginning because if he will now crack down on n.g.o.s is the promised crackdown for instance on the international university in budapest then brussels will have to react again so we'll just see a continuation of the struggle. given this wave of right wing popular is a seems to be sweeping through europe and apparently gathering strength on the back of the migrant issue why is it been so difficult for the e.u.

to accept what appears to be increasing will of the people and change its course. we really have to look at things here in detail phil forty eight percent a fact of hunger instituted for victor organ and his feet party and he only gets this large number of seats in the problem and because he rig the election system in advance in his own favor he won the election on the back off of propaganda come pain that you would not call democratic and any more because it was it was anti-semitic and it sort of fulfilled all the requirements off sort of somebody who wants to become an autocratic and non-democratic ruler so should follow that way my personal answer would be no and so far the large majority of democracies in europe says no to that particular policy that viktor orban is showing in his

country and that we are seeing. in poland already so that's what we see at the moment is liberal democracy under threat in europe cautiously we probably have to answer that question with a yes proposal in brussels thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world at least five people have been injured in a strong earthquake that struck western japan early on monday morning the six point one magnitude tremor was felt across a wide area roads and buildings were damaged in the hardest hit city of or duff one of the water supply has been disrupted no authority as of dispatched supply vehicles to help affected households. former south korean president lee kos been charged with corruption he's accused of receiving ten million u.s. dollars in bribes from groups including the country's intelligence service estimate was in office from two thousand and eight to two thousand and thirteen this
