and it is just will be used by the for. this is. a chemical weapons attack in syria and us president. says russia iran and. they will. be making some major decisions over the next twenty four to forty eight hours. find out who was responsible for the attack that reportedly killed at least forty people also

coming. to the general election european leaders congratulating him with varying degrees of enthusiasm. collision course with the european union. and germany's biggest bank with. its fortune. good to have you with us tonight u.s. president donald trump is promising action after yet another chemical weapons attack in syria he says he'll decide to the next twenty four to forty respond to what he calls a heinous attack which is claimed forty lives including those of children over the weekend meanwhile in

a separate development syria and its main ally russia are blaming israel for an overnight missile attack on a syrian air base monitors say at least fourteen people were killed in that incident. missiles flare in the dark hours of the morning according to russian and syrian military they were fired from two israeli fighter jets although israel has declined to comment the missiles found that 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 on the town of duma the last remaining rebel stronghold in eastern it's alleged they were carrying poison gas according to observers at least forty people were killed and hundreds wounded in the attack many of the victims were children said to be smelling strongly of chlorine leading a wave of international condemnation the u.s. president donald trump insists the syrian government will pay

a big price for using the gas and he says action is imminent like to begin by condemning the haters attack on innocent syrians. with been chemical weapons it was a trophy. it was horrible we are meeting with our military and everybody else. decisions over the next twenty four to forty eight hours civilians in eastern kuta have endured weeks of pump argument 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. but the chorus of shock and anger at the attack is likely only to grow

louder. and joining me now is our washington bureau chief alexander from norman she is at the white house this evening good evening to you alexandra we know that there is a and emerged. see session of the u.n. security council taking place white now they are discussing this chemical weapons attack in syria will there be a resolution to this or do you think we will just hear some strong words but see no actions. united states is urging the security council to adopt a resolution that would condemn the continuous use of chemical weapons in syria and that would reestablish and u.n. investigative body to determine whether a chemical weapons were used this time however it's not clear at the moment broad there will be a vote on this resolution and if yes russia will try to use

its veto power to block and the measures threatening the syrian offensive against rebels in order to protect the syrian government and alexander it was just a few days ago when the u.s. president told cheering supporters that he was going to pull the u.s. out of syria very soon now he says he wants to see major decisions within the next twenty four to forty eight hours so is there a strategy a coherent strategy on syria coming out of the white house. the trump administration doesn't seem to have a coherent strategy on syria as you said the president has been talking to his aides for months now that he would like to pull out of syria and now he threatens the use of force in response to this reported chemical attack in syria and

many here say that he put himself in a very difficult situation because no not taking action would be a more strategic fiasco then many experts say that if he doesn't follow through he is going to look weak in the eyes of russia and iran is speaking of russia. mr trump was pressed on russia's role in this alleged chemical weapons attack and the u.s. president the russian president mr putin may bear responsibility what do you make of that. i think that it is quite significant because it was the first time that president trump has personally criticized the russian president he's administration has taken lately tough stance on russia criticizing the russian government for its role in ukraine and syria but president

chen was always very positive talking about blood in me a poutine showing that he is very interested in having a good personal relationship with loving you putin and not all this criticism so some commentators here are all of the as you mean that poutine bromance might be coming to an end and we've heard it many times before as well our washington bureau chief always under phenomena at the white house tonight alexandra thank you very much. now some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world a topless femen activist calls to stir after getting within meters of us comedian look at their bill cosby today he was on his way to court for a retrial on charges of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his home back in two thousand and four last year jurors failed to reach

a unanimous verdict. at least six people have been killed and at least nine others wounded in an attack in western afghanistan many of the victims were children officials say explosives were planted near a mosque in herat province no one has claimed responsibility. nigeria's president mohammed to has ended months of speculation and confirmed his intention to run in next year's elections the seventy five year old has spent months in the hospital out of the country after suffering repeated bouts of ill health. and now to a hungary where national is prime minister viktor orban has won a decisive victory in the country's general election is right wing party has once again taken more than two thirds of the parliamentary seats after a campaign that took a hard line on muslim immigration or training migrants as a threat to hungary's christian identity in his victory speech or biden said the

result gave hug ariens the 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 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. just mission. despite being in a human were hungary has refused to implement the block's migrant resettlement program or been has likened 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 bans 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 when i've always considered it wrong to manifest arrogance on paternalism

towards individual member states. it. boy bands feet as party one almost half the vote which gives them the two thirds supermajority needed to introduce sweeping reforms and head of the election or ban promise to take what he called moral political and legal action against his opponents. correspondent barbara visuals she is on the story for us tonight from brussels good evening to you barbara b. victor orbán he has been on a collision course with the european union for quite some time but when you listen to him speak what he did over the weekend i mean you get the impression that this is a man who is at war with the european union are we likely to see any change in the tone at least between orbán and the e.u. . that's not likely of course at least not one see talks in his own country when he comes to brussels you can hear

a totally different viktor orban who really modifies and moderates the way he speaks and all of a sudden he seems quite tame to speak and rather moderate and sort of open to discussion so we really see two faces but it is really the point really is what he does and what not what he says and he knows that he's going to crack down on n.g.o.s he's going to crack down on the last pockets off resistance against his autocratic rule in hungary and he's going to crack down on the european university in budapest so the european union will see all that and then it will have to make a decision and will stay still and watch or will have sort of do try to do something against oregon in the course he has taken yet and what can. or are considerations within the e.u. to cancel subsidies for states that do not cooperate you know the words if they don't play we don't say is that realistic. and not at the moment but

european are particularly german taxpayers probably should ask themselves do we want to finance this anti-semitic hate preacher who wants to be the autocratic rule of hungary and who is against democracy and fighting democracy in europe was our tax euros that is the question everybody can answer for themselves however the european union would need a rule change to enforce the cuts to his subsidies that is the one point where you can really hits him because he thrives on those subsidies he takes you money not only for himself but for his family and for his cronies his of martyrs but it is difficult to implement and of course this a lot of political resistance to that change when we also know that mr orbán he does have friends the leader of poland the russian president and as we heard in that report even the interior minister of germany mr is

a whole for seems to be on his side so. how strong is the support for him from outside the country. victor over and has protection as they say in mafia circles probably he has political protection within the european people's party that is the strongest conservative grouping within the european parliament that is also home to the german christian democrats and they have a very insists apart so we heard torah state of dissent are about if you talk to munford vevo who is the head of the sparta grouping the german and ask them about viktor orban and why they continue to defend him and protect him he says really he is not that bad at heart he is the are a pin and that really is as if you talk to the owner of a pit bull and he says oh he doesn't really want to bite you he's only playing astroid should be buying a pit bull to begin with a lot of people would say let me ask you before you run the resultant program that

hungary refuses to participate do you anticipate any change in there none whatsoever the other european countries will sort of how they have to divide up the numbers and simply take in that armand is not going to change he's not going to compromise the european court of justice can force him poland. except in the same position so we can sort of strike that off and we can also strike off the agreement on a new migrant and refugee policy that was scheduled for the summer that is going to be kicked down the road so he has had a win not only in budapest in hungary last night over the weekend but she's going to win this battle within the european union all right our correspondent barbara very slim brussels towing it like it is tonight barbara as always thank you very much. you're watching the news live from berlin still to come people in the german city of munster are paying tribute to the victims of

saturday's vann attack as details begin to emerge about the personality of the wife of the perpetrator and in sports george one to make amends for last week's disaster against byron with a masterful performance against stuttgart we're going to bring you the gold this is . all right facebook trying to regain some user confidence is more on that and it's going to be a tough one brant we could say because confidence is at all times lows we could say facebook is trying to reduce the impact of that latest scandal and is announcing new measures almost on a daily basis as c.e.o. mark zuckerberg prepares to testify before u.s. congress in a written testimony he said he's sorry for the massive breach in which millions of users that it was passed on by an analytics firm for political campaigning sucker burke arrived in washington for two days of congressional grillings that begin tomorrow facebook is also sending out notices to users about whether their

information might have been passed on a data analysis company and used for political campaigning they will appear in the users use feet both the hearing and the notices mark efforts by the social media giant to restore confidence about user privacy. now for more on that let's bring in our financial correspondent at the new york stock exchange it's called the high end it's good to see you now circle burke has promised a whole a ray of investments to solve these privacy issues but also said that those investments will impact profitability and i'm sure investors are not happy to hear that. yes certainly in general facebook is going to hire for instance by year's end total of twenty thousand content review staffing and security stuffings of the total will be twenty thousand just for those jobs and more jobs mean higher costs and was higher costs you have less profit to

bill and wall street doesn't seem to be too impressed by those figures and the stock price increase slightly here on a monday talking about monday mark zuckerberg already did arrive in washington and sources are saying that he is varying as you would and it ties obviously he's trying to show himself from his side and now we are waiting for lawmakers and their questions on tuesday and also on wednesday and see if the sooner the thai can actually pull it off now yes there's something else i want to talk about the wall street journal is reporting that u.s. regulators are about to approve buyers take over monsanto what have you heard what you can tell us about that. well what i've heard is that the companies meaning buyer and month central agreed to sell more assets and with that they will get the approval of u.s. authorities of the justice department to go ahead with the sixty billion plus

dollar merger and we saw an immediate impact on the stock price of one cent of the stock gaining a good six per cent and there's also word out that probably of the german company u.b.s. if might be buying those essence we still do not have confirmation yet sources close to the companies breaking this story but obviously there is a pretty good chance that after the european union gave the approval through the merger last month that also the u.s. authorities will follow ahead and then this merger can be finished in the next couple of months will certainly fall that story very closely thank you very much in new york to another german giant germany's biggest and formally most renowned lender bank just scott a new c.e.o. his name is christian suing and he has been with georgia for years that won't make

his task of ramping up finances easier though and he knows it in a letter published this monday sowing saying there is no time to relax shares of dutch bank have gone up but investors want to see revenue rise to christian saving knows deutsche bank from the inside out the new c.e.o. has spent nearly thirty years there rising from an apprentice to the head of auditing to board member so he knows what he's getting into saving replaces john cryan who took over three years ago the englishman was able to settle numerous legal disputes he downsized the bank's underperforming investment banking division cutting jobs but years of fines and penalties dragged business down. deutsche bank is in a permanent state of crisis under cry and ten year the bank struggled to contain its losses cutting those losses is christian savings top priority and that means

he'll have to untangle his predecessor's mistakes most experts think that means deutsche bank will be returning to its roots in the traditional banking sector traveling to turkey is quite a good deal these days the exchange rate of the turkish lira is hitting all time lows in advance of new stimulus measures this monday euro was worth more than five liras for the first time in history that's despite a generally strong turkish economy growth right rates rival those in china the most recent g.d.p. figure was a whopping seven point four percent but experts warn that cheap credits could lead to an overheated economy president added one is behind the loose monetary policy pumping money into the economy through government programs trickiest taking a risk as production could overtake demand causing a recession sanctions imposed by the u.s. government to vladimir putin's closest circle and their companies are hitting some

of the country's private businesses the latest round of sanctions are related to charges of russian meddling in u.s. elections and they could be just the beginning as more sanctions might follow from america's european allies reason enough for russia to go east in search for new customers bowlegged area pasco doesn't have much to smile about right now shares in new south the company at the heart of his global aluminum empire plummeted over fifty percent on monday alice that russian credit ration agency act attribute the volatility to the lation set of functions the united states has imposed on russia. frind the time when sanctions was imposed own privately owned russian and to do so because before sanctions had been imposed on their own state and to us and to the what we see. to. the market fears that the european union could also be mulling fresh sanctions has

left many businesses and the country on edge meanwhile russian prime minister dmitri medvedev has ordered his government to draw up possible retarded trace steps . we believe there's an obvious simple pragmatic goal behind the us sanctions to address their own economic challenges in an uncompetitive way. the threats of more western sanctions has prompted some russian companies to look eastward in the search for new markets. and markets in the scenario so for the best sanction is a potential market for new financing. new markets for the russian producers and in vestment service i think in time years we'll see increasingly mollett of investments coming from asia and there have been world. as the country's economic relationship with the united states deteriorates russian businesses have a long term incentive to look for new markets. it's all for business it's back to
