alexander for unarmed she is at the white house this evening good evening to you alexandra so all. of the world right now are on two places where you are as well as the u.n. security council where an emergency session is just beginning we're looking at live pictures right now of that session and we know that the chemical weapons attack in syria is number one on the agenda what if anything is going to come out of that meeting. the united states britain and france has coldfoot its emergency meeting to condemn. suspected chemical attack and to support an independent investigation into what happened however we have to say that russia is saying that it's experts on the ground didn't find

any trace of any chemical weapons russia is saying that the whole story is a hoax and we cannot rule out that russia will be using its veto power as a permanent member to prevent any measure as condemning the syrian government or threatening its offensive against rebels that's that's true alexandra if we see a veto tonight it will be russia's eleventh a veto in since the syrian civil war began in the u.n. security council there and we expect any type of resolution to come from this meeting or are we going to just hear strong words and no actions. there is a draft resolution which has been circulated in new york a resolution calling for a condemnation of any use of chemical weapons and the resolution which whose aim it will be to establish a new body to determine responsibility for using these weapons however as i

said we can expect russia to veto such a resolution russia did it's a last november and even if there is a resolution we cannot be sure that any action will be taken all members of the security council agreed on a cease fire resolution of this. and even russia voted for it but no choose has ever stuck in syria and if we take this story to the white house we know that just last week the u.s. president was telling people that he's going to pull u.s. troops out of syria very soon now he's saying that there will be a big price to pay for this chemical strike i mean do you see any coherent u.s. strategy on syria right now. not really and that is exactly what many military experts here say criticizing the president as

you said only a couple of days ago he announced that he would like to pull out of syria and now he tweeted that there will be a big price to be paid for the suspected chemical weapons attacked and she is facing even criticism in his own party with senate so may came to that he thinks that he's announcements to pull out of syria has emboldened the assad regime. right our washington bureau chief always on a phenomenon the story for us tonight at the white house alexandra thank you. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a topless femen activist who caused a stir after getting within metres of us comedian bill cosby on monday he was on his way to court for a retrial on charges of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his home in two thousand and four last year jurors failed to reach
